Did Ching Hai really ever make a conference at the UN? I hear my friend sometimes telling me that. Does she refers to this kind of fake official conference? Apparently, she manage well by organizing a conference in a place near the White House, and making flyers with an "official atmosphere". I wonder what followers think about this trick.

QuoteStoicThis site maintains an archive of articles on Ching Hai (as well as on many other dubious groups): so any new and worthwhile articles found could be submitted there also.

The idea is also to keep archived copies in case some articles may disappear, and also to enrich the copies by linking them to other related articles, quotes, videos, criticizes, or any future global analysis. Everything can be commented as well, and multiple users can contribute by adding themselves more stuffs inside.

Here is a list of articles about Ching Hai. Nothing new, but the idea is to concentrate the informations about Ching Hai in one single place, including different languages. Then the wiki could evolve (with more people), or just remain like this, maybe with updates when new articles are published.

QuoteStoicWhat I would really like to know, after watching some of Ching Hai's talks via TV to her acolytes, is why such a self-proclaimed, accomplished Master would put up with such a fourth-rate facelift that one eye and one side of her mouth shows nerve damage from a botched job of surgery?

One of the most powerful falacious argument from sophism that a liar can use to escape critics, consist in reversing the burden of proof : It's not me to prove that what I say is true, if you don't believe so you have to prove that it's not true Actually it's probably impossible to prove that Ching Hai is not the reincarnation of Jesus.

Actually there is a "QuanYin method" which seems to be a (the?) Light & Sound meditation method (see links below). I can't read all that's stuf cos it's too long and complex for the time I have devote. But when reading quickly, I notice some similitudes with the arguments Ching Hai uses to promote her own method.

QuoteStoicInteresting that she calls her method of meditation the Quan Yin method. Quan Yin is the goddess of compassion, a mother figure in the pantheon of SE Asian gods, and Ching Hai aligns herself with just such a mother figure, pouring out the waters of compassion for the vulnerable people that she targets. Is there a link between the goddess Quanyin and the San Mat meditation method? B

Then we can question ourself how much we should concentrate on that breatharian question, considering that it's just a part of Ching Hai's technique for mind control, and maybe not the most important one. It seems to me that disciples are much more worried by the necessity to erradicate meat consumption than reaching a breatharian way of life (which can be seen more like an ideal tha

I just watch the "documentary", to me that's a shameless scam. The movie was supposed to bring light (and possibly proofs) on a so-called miracle (a boy living on air since months), by sending a westerners team in order to film the boy continuously during 96 hours. But... they forgot to bring an infrared spot in order to film during the night. What a pity... they may thought tha
