Anyway, when I look at these days, I’m telling you, as usual, I’m not talking on one topic alone and altogether at the end. There’s many things, so I just record as it comes, as I remember. Originally, a week ago, I wanted to tell you something nice about the Sun again. I will tell you afterward. I hope I’ll remember. If not, then I have to tell you another time. Now, I still remember about Master Tịnh Không, or Không Tịnh (Master Ji Kong), then I’ll continue for a little longer.
Even a Bodhisattva from the Pure Land already, and came down here, forgot everything. He had to swim in the whirling water of karma together with all the humans, or at least with whoever he wanted to help. But to help humans here, you have to sacrifice everything. That’s why he forgot everything and suffered through hell and Earth and all that. Similar to real Masters, Who also have to suffer a lot, a lot, that you can write 10,000 books. I can write 10,000 books about what I know, and what Power I have, and the suffering I have to endure. But this is not important. What is important is that We urgently have to try to help the Earth to stabilize.
So I’m glad that We can stabilize the Earth to some degree – about 40 degrees only. That’s a regrettable thing. Because humans just don’t want to help! They seem to like sit there, and then I have to do everything for them and just save the world, save their family, but they do nothing. They don’t even do that 1% help – that is to be vegan. Is that a lot to ask? Is that something that profits me? No! My food company is a small one, mostly just enough to supply the disciples. And sometimes not enough even. Sometimes I ask for something, they don’t have, because it’s not enough, it’s all sold out. Something like that. So I don’t have any interest, much interest to tell you to be vegan.
The money I earn more or less is more in the jewelry area and some like maybe paintings and some clothing. But because we’re also very, very frugal. If I live like any other rich people, building a lot of buildings, and make a big ashram and a luxury and expensive ashram, then I will have nothing left, maybe not even enough to live on. I have been teaching about almost 40 years. This is the first time we ever have had a decent ashram, we call it “New Land Ashram.” And all the buildings, like castles, fairytale like that, they were already there. We bought it with only like US$40-something million, and I put in half of it; and other disciples, whoever wanted, put in another half. So that’s what it is. But my name is not in there. It’s all in their names, so don’t bother finding my name, who owns it.
I don’t own anything – not even my little car, my golf cart or my bicycle. Nothing is in my name. Because I cannot have time to take care of all the bureaucracy for owning the house or the... There are some older houses in my name, in the beginning, ashrams and all that. But I still transferred them already, most of them, to other people’s names, to other disciples’ names, so that if I die, they still have a place to continue. But in some places, it’s not convenient to transfer, so it might be still in my name, a couple of them. Otherwise, I don’t own much. I don’t own anything. I don’t know why I talk about this. I’m just telling you anything, because you’re interested. My followers are interested to know what I do, and if I’m still alive, so I talk sometimes. I don’t know how many people outside would listen, if they even have time to listen, because nowadays there are “Buddhas” everywhere.
Anybody just comes out, has an ashram or has a piece of land, then they claim themselves as a “Buddha” or the “Prince of Heaven,” whatever. Oh, so many titles, so many names. Even Trần Tâm became Ruma, Rumaji, whatever. It sounds like “rumor” to me, just like gossiping. It’s not real because he doesn’t have the power to give it to people. That’s why many are sick. And when they come to me, it’s difficult for me to continue to nourish them back to health. And even if they came, they came into my group, sometimes they still do not understand much about real teachings, and they seem to be very distracted. It’s very difficult. I did not want to accept any of these so-called disciples from outsiders because it’s difficult to return them to the original, like a blank page as before. You can bleach the page and all that, but it’s not avoidable for that page to be damaged. So it is difficult. And if I don’t accept them, they will say, “Oh, She’s not compassionate. She discriminates,” and something like that.
Some of the people follow Trần Tâm or the other guy, whatever, I don’t know his name, he chose his name – quite a few. If they come to me and want me to accept them, it’s difficult to clean them up. Even some of them, I cannot even let them go and work as a host or anything for the Supreme Master Television because their energy is still so dark. Can you imagine how dark it is? Their so-called master, Trần Tâm, when he does so many horrible things, some people don’t dare to tell me all these things. They told some. We have evidence, we have interviews, we have videos and all that, but not everything. Some are so scared of him, they don’t dare talk. But they just say, “Oh, he does more horrible things than all these that you heard.” My God, all these things that he did are already horrible to me. Not to talk about more horrible things than that. I cannot imagine.
“Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai, I am eternally grateful to You for accepting me as Your disciple. I followed Trần Tâm for eight years and would like to share some information to caution those who are following or supporting him. I used to go to Trần Tâm’s meditation center to offer my help and noticed that outwardly, he appeared very dignified, like a good teacher. However, one day, I heard a close disciple of Trần Tâm recount that he had sexually assaulted his disciples. At first, I was skeptical because I revered him like a Living Buddha. I was heartbroken and cried for a week because this was too shocking. I prayed to the Higher Powers for the truth.
Then I met the manager of Trần Tâm’s meditation center in Laos and a former close monk of his, both of whom confirmed this information as accurate. This former monk was also a victim himself. Trần Tâm sexually assaulted both male and female disciples, but mainly males. He even once sexually assaulted a teenage boy in the U.S. and deceived the boy’s mother into believing that the boy had bad karma and needed to stay at his meditation center. The boy’s mother sued him, but somehow the matter was hushed up. I know of over 50 victims who were sexually assaulted by him.
Another disciple named *** publicly accused him on Facebook on December 4, 2019 (the post, as of the time I write this heartline on September 30, 2024, is still there), and several other disciples like ***, including one who used to be a host and helped film for Trần Tâm, along with two former monks who followed Trần Tâm, also made accusations but later removed their posts.
Criminals of this nature often use the excuse of whether there is forensic evidence to accuse them, and they use money along with threats and bribes to resolve matters. It is truly sinful to use the honest money of others to sustain criminal activities, dragging them into the same whirlpool of guilt. I believe that when the authorities discover the truth, Trần Tâm will face justice. However, this may implicate those who are helping him run this criminal operation. I hope they will awaken and escape from it as soon as possible. Disciple Ngọc Hạnh from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)”
“I used to be a follower of Trần Tâm. I was directly involved in internal affairs such as living expenses, food, and shopping. Therefore, I know all about his personality and lifestyle. I gradually realized that many of his actions were improper, such as taking money from the meditators, some of whom even had to sell their houses to make offerings out of fear of his curses. There were male meditators who left and reported him because he sexually harassed them during their participation in the group. Many people were abused in this way. He even wrote letters threatening and cursing that their whole family would get sick or die if they did not come back.
His right-hand men, who called themselves his dharma protectors and monks, freely collected money from meditators for him and even put it in their own pockets. During the retreats, food was sold at exorbitant prices, even 20 times higher than the actual cost, because he claimed it had blessing power. For example, he sold a sapodilla (fruit) that he grew himself for US$100, a pancake for 500,000 VND (Vietnamese Dong ~ US$20), a plate of rice for 1 million VND (US$40), and many other similarly overpriced items.”
“Respected Master and dear Supreme Master Television team, It has been 32 years since I received the initiation from Master. Today, I would like to testify to Master’s words about the demon Trần Tâm. I have kept this story secret for many decades because he said, ‘The reputation of the messenger is in your hands.’ In 1996, when he returned to Âu Lạc (Vietnam) posing as a Quan Yin messenger, I participated in Master’s teaching group. At that time, I was just 20 years old. In the middle of the night, he called me into his private room and same-sex sexually assaulted me.”
“Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, I respectfully bow to You, the most beloved and most compassionate Master. I am (…), from Âu Lạc. I recently got initiated by Master. But previously I received initiation from Trần Tâm. I wish to share my personal experience after receiving initiations from both. I hope that what I recount here will awaken weak, misled, ignorant, and blind souls who have followed Trần Tâm, as I once did.
After the initiation with Trần Tâm: my external life gradually deteriorated, falling into decline; I lost my job, and my family fell apart. I had neither inner experiences, nor blessing as they had promised.
In contrast, since receiving the initiation from Supreme Master Ching Hai (more precisely, since I began studying Her teachings), my life began to change very positively, both materially and spiritually. I have a stable job; my children are also arranged to have a good place for studying. I became more optimistic, and I feel that each day is filled with miracles. Spiritually, I also had many inner experiences with inner (Heavenly) Light and Sound.
Once, during the period I was studying the teachings to prepare for initiation by Master, I was meditating and only recited Master’s name, not the five Holy Names (because the Holy Names taught by the other side have no power), and I saw a bright white Eye. On another occasion, Master took me to visit another planet. And in my dreams, I met Master many times.
I am extremely grateful to Master and feel so fortunate. The greatest happiness in my life is to be a disciple of Master. I love Master and pray that the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and Heaven, support Master to fulfill Her Mission. I hope that misled people can U-turn, meet the truly great Enlightened Master, the real Living Buddha they have long sought for. Thank you, the Supreme Master TV team for giving me the opportunity to share this experience.”
“I am a fellow practitioner from Âu Lạc (Vietnam), and I previously received initiation from Trần Tâm, but now I got initiated by Supreme Master Ching Hai. I wish to share my experiences, hoping to awake innocent souls who, out of ignorance, have followed the fake master Trần Tâm. During my time practicing with Trần Tâm, I had very frightening experiences. After a period of practice, my life did not improve but got worse. Many new practitioners initially appeared to be very attractive, but over time, they became pale, ill, and died. In my meditation, I only saw dark and frightening images like ghosts; I never experienced the (inner Heavenly) Light of the Buddha or heard any sacred (inner Heavenly) Sound. I felt that the practice there was not the right path, so when I learned about Master, I sincerely prayed to Master to bless me with initiation soon, to continue on the path of practice to liberation that I have always longed for.
After receiving initiation from Master, my life has turned to a new and very happy chapter. I have experienced Master’s Light and Blessings abundantly. When I turn on Supreme Master TV, I often see Master stepping out of the screen. In meditation, I feel light and can easily achieve concentration. I had an inner experience in which Master was wearing a beautiful white robe, and the Light emitted from Her was very bright, illuminating the surroundings so beautifully. Every day, I feel Master’s Blessings which are very strong; I work during the day and meditate continuously at night without feeling tired. Thank You, beloved Master, for saving my soul. I miss You immensely.”
“I respectfully greet Master and the Supreme Master Television team, I would like to share my inner vision regarding the harmful effects of following a false master. Recently, a fellow initiate I know became seriously ill. She was nearly lifeless, weak, and disoriented. The hospital prescribed her some neurological medications, and she seemed to have become addicted to them. When she stopped taking this medication to use other treatments, she experienced withdrawal, restlessness, and discomfort.
While meditating on the Quan Yin and praying, I saw myself sitting on a multi-petaled lotus with a protective aura surrounding my body while the fellow initiate was sitting on the ground with a weak, fragile aura. There was a line connected between me and her; I was helping her. However, outside her aura were the false master Trần Tâm and a demon with green, red, and brown hues, who were fiercely attacking her. They were sucking the Light energy she had and seemed to want to suck her soul too. I attacked them to drive them away from her, but I was not strong enough. As I grew weak and about to lose, they approached me. Suddenly, a brilliant Light from behind me blasted them away. I then hid within the vast Light of Master and was protected. The fellow initiate was also protected; she was pushed into a hollow at the base of a large tree to meditate, and Saint Good Love came and sat outside to guard her.
After waking up, I understood that in the past, this fellow initiate, in her spiritual yearning, had followed the false master Trần Tâm. After realizing her mistake, she voluntarily cut ties with him, repented, and received initiation from Master. However, the influence of the false master continued to follow her, clinging to her, tormenting, and draining her physically and spiritually.
I am deeply grateful for the infinite Love and Grace of Master for loving, caring, and protecting us and all humanity. May humanity soon awaken, become enlightened, and shift to a vegan lifestyle so that Heaven on Earth can manifest on this beautiful planet. May God and the Heavens protect Master so that She is always healthy, peaceful and long-lived. Your disciple, Huyền Trâm from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)”
Etc…
So I just keep telling this, hoping the vulnerable people outside do not follow him. You don’t have to follow me, just don’t follow him. I told you many places you can go and look for spiritual enlightenment if you want to.
If you don’t want to come to study with me, I lose nothing. Just you lose. You lose the chance to be completely free from the Three Worlds, completely free and liberated from the time of initiation. That’s what you lose.
None of the so-called masters who imitate my teachings from A to Z – my God, talking about copycats.
“One day in 2023, I met a friend to discuss some work, and afterward, we decided to have lunch together. I found a vegan restaurant named Diệu Ẩm Quán. It was a buffet restaurant. The setting felt familiar, but all the staff had cold and indifferent expressions. However, I was so hungry that I didn’t think much of it and ordered immediately. After finishing the meal, I walked to the checkout counter and took a closer look. Oh my God, this was an imitation of the Loving Hut restaurant chain. They also hung many lacquer paintings on the walls and a YouTube channel was playing on the wall-mounted TV. But it wasn’t Supreme Master TV; it was a similar channel. I remember it was showing a scene of a person claiming to be the ‘great living master of the 21st century’ playing with a parrot-person. At that moment, I realized I had entered the wrong restaurant. I didn’t know who Ruma was, but clearly, imitating Master by creating a similar YouTube channel and setting up a restaurant exactly the same way and claiming it as his own is unacceptable.
After that, out of curiosity, I searched online and found a YouTube channel named ‘GURUJI RUMA OFFICIAL’ with subscribers. Perhaps these people are sincerely seeking a Master to guide them on the right path in their spiritual journey, but they encountered a false teacher named Ruma. Many of his teachings also copy the words of Master, but instead of using the term ‘Quán Âm’ (Quan Yin), he replaces it with ‘Diệu Âm’ (Wondrous/Divine Sound). I feel truly fortunate to have known Master before knowing about Ruma; otherwise, I might have been just another victim among those people. I sincerely thank Master and hope everyone will spread the word about this false master so that more people won’t be misled and deceived by him. Disciple Diệu Hằng from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)”
It’s just a bad copy, makes me feel ashamed. Even I sing, he sings. I have parrot-people, he has to have parrot-people. And I talk about this, and he imitates me exactly, and talks like the same. Even if I carry a basket sometimes to go sit with some disciples, because I have some vegan cakes or candies inside, I give it to them. And he also has to carry a basket, like a woman. No wonder he raped men and male children and all that. I think he’s a kind of bisexual, weird something. Otherwise, how can a man want to have that kind of thing with another man? Can you men imagine that? No. If you’re a real man, you cannot want to have anything physical with another man. This is yucky, no? And with women as well, and with children as well. Oh, this is truly hellish on Earth already.
I don’t know why some governments still accept him and let him stay in their country. He brings havoc to that country. He just stayed in Thailand for a while, and then many people died, a big building fell down. Even the earthquake is only in Myanmar, but Thailand had much damage. Imagine that. But how can I tell anybody? Nobody seems to have the clear mind to understand anymore.
I just hope you wake up quickly, otherwise the world is going down. There’re so many, many strange phenomena, meaning warnings from the sky and from the Earth, from the ocean, everywhere, in many countries. But you still don’t wake up. I keep trying to talk a lot. I’m not sure if my dedication helps anything. Maybe it helps some, but not all, because sometimes people take it for granted. When you offer it all free of charge, because everything in this world you have to pay in order to have it. But I cannot take money from people, from childhood already.
And I told you already, one time I was in Paris, I didn’t have a job right away, but the one that I worked for offered money that I didn’t take, just because he had some affection for me, and I didn’t want to use that. I didn’t feel good taking money from him. Even it was my salary, at that time it was not the salary time. I just ran out and went to find a job myself, when I didn’t have any place to stay and no work, no money at all. Luckily, I had some, but then it wouldn’t last long. Like anything, anything I took, maybe there was some in a restaurant or something, washing dishes. But then the wife of that restaurant owner was also jealous of me, so she wanted him to kick me out. I say, it’s not easy, not easy even just to want to work, to earn some honest money. What is it we were talking about?
When I send a Quan Yin messenger to give initiation as my representative, I impart to him great power for that situation only. Otherwise, sometimes they give initiation for 800-1000 people. It’s too much karma for them to bear. So I have to give my power for that occasion. For that occasion only, and later I take over, of course, for my God’s disciple. The Quan Yin messenger doesn’t have all that power of a Master. It’s different between you being a Bodhisattva and you are a Buddha.
I have been a Buddha since I can’t remember. And when I came back, I even forgot everything. And I knew about myself, being one with God, since long ago already, since 2005, before I came to Hungary for that retreat. I knew that all that time already, but I didn’t tell you because I didn’t know how. I didn’t want to, because to be a normal person, or even just a Master is already a lot. People look at you, people want to eat you up, they want you to give them blessings and all kinds of things for anything they want to do, any mundane thing. And it will bother you, swirling your energy, and a lot of karma already, and a lot of enemies and trouble and jealousy already. If you even tell them that you are a Buddha, or one with God, oh, I didn’t know how uncomfortable that would be.
