I especially want to emphasize one thing here, and that is, in the poetry of the poet Supreme Master Ching Hai, "Silent Love" is a very intense and fiery love. "God exiled a tiny swallow to the riverbank, One stormy night, its delicate wings were broken!

Supreme Master Ching Hai’s poetry is about the blending of worldly love and the purity of the spiritual life. But in my opinion, Her poetry is not only the nonconformist verses of a renunciate. It is also the poetry of journeys of thought, the voyage of human life on the river of contemplation. “When you comA Journey through Aesthetic Realms2024-01-23 1052 Views44396p720p1080p2024-01-23A Journey through Aesthetic Realms An Evening of Poetry and Music – Traces of Previous Lives and Love Songs for the Homeland, Part 3 of a Multi-part Series18:40An Evening of Poetry and Music – Traces of Previous Lives and Love Songs for the Homeland, Part 3 of a Multi-part SeriesThis human quality, this nostalgia, are still visible even after the renunciate has attained enlightenment and come down the mountain to begin Her new spiritual journey.

Supreme Master Ching Hai broke this custom by publishing dozens of love poems along with Buddhist poems.
