Established by
the United Nations
Educational, Cultural and
Scientific Organization
(UNESCO) 17 years ago,
World Teachers’ Day
invites us to appreciate
all the teachers in our lives.
Ms. Jenny Chacón
Fernández is a teacher
at Maria Auxiliadora
School in Costa Rica.
After a full day
of teaching class and
interacting with students,
her job is far from over.
I feel proud to be a teacher
because I like so much
to cultivate
my students’ minds.
We see
how this society is
in these days.
What I want the most
for my students
is that they have a future.
In order that they believe
that they are able to
succeed.
In order that
they don´t fall into drugs,
vandalism, delinquency.
My philosophy in teaching
is to educate with love,
with values.
Bio, which means life.
Bio is life.
And diversity, right?
Diversity of life.
That is what we have
in our country.
We have to…
Take care of it.
Yeah, what for?
So they won’t
become extinct.
I thank God
that I´m a teacher.
I feel proud.
But I ask God
that He open my heart
every day in order to
be able to learn more
from them (students),
and understand them.
We love our teacher!
No matter
in which country,
teachers build our
lifelong moral principles
while equipping us with
skills and motivation.
Let’s now go to
Formosa (Taiwan)
and Lishan High School
in Taipei.
We have set
a few standards
for the students to reach.
For example,
first, I want them
to be able to think.
Second, I want them
to be creative.
Third, living well.
I hope they (students) can
become people
who can often reflect
on themselves
and be responsible
to themselves.
Then they can contribute
to themselves in the future.
Contribute to their families.
Contribute to the society.
Contribute to this world,
and this universe.
This is what I hope
for my students.
Children have energy,
like seeds.
So we hope to guide them
to the direction
of goodness.
Sometimes,
I share my thoughts
with the students
to consider that
sometimes it happens
that we cut our fingers
accidentally when
we are using a knife.
We will feel sore
for a few days.
But for a living being
as animals, we would
kill them brutally just for
the nutrition supplement,
or fulfilling the desire
of our taste.
To guide the students to
think about the meat diet
from the compassionate
point of view
I think it's a starting point.
So if we can
forgo the meat because
we don't want others
to kill for us,
we would be able to
establish more empathy
and a more compassionate
relationship with
the people around us
and become more caring
to others.
I hope that they not only
learn knowledge,
but also grow spiritually,
which is the
more important aspect.
Teacher,
you worked very hard
during the past year.
Please continue
to help me.
I’m very thankful to you!
I love you and
Happy Teachers’ Day!
Even through adulthood,
we meet other teachers
in life’s journey.
On a broad scale,
progress in civilization
could be credited to those
who came before –
the teachers.
I mean there are
many, many teachers
along the way.
Martial arts teachers
guided me through
my martial arts career.
But in regards to raw food
was probably
Dr. Doug Graham,
one of biggest
inspirations for me.
He has developed
the 80/10/10 diet.
And that’s just
really cutting off
all the bad things
and just living
on nature’s beauty.
Thank you very much
for teaching me,
so I can actually
pass it on even further.
The human race
is forever indebted to
the great, ultimate teachers
of humanity, namely,
the enlightened
spiritual Masters
who have helped
to elevate the world.
I’m going to talk about
my spiritual Master,
who is Jesus.
What touched me the most
in his teaching,
it’s the love of the neighbor,
love of each other.
And everything he said,
if we can put into
practice the wisdom,
I believe that we will
live in a happy world,
of peace, of tranquility.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai
is an enlightened Master
of our times
who tirelessly works
to save the planet
and raise
humanity’s consciousness.
She imparts
to her students, our
Association members,
the Quan Yin Method
of meditation.
I was a pastor
for ten years or more,
and during that time, I was
lacking something in me.
This emptiness inside me
got me into
searching for the truth.
I had a dream
where I saw Master,
and afterwards
on the internet.
And the teachings have
really transformed me.
I am a changed
and a totally happy man
in all aspects of life. Yes!
I want to thank Master
from the bottom of my heart
for all the good things
she has done for me!
On World Teachers’ Day,
members
of our Association
wish to express their
experiences and gratitude
to beloved Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
In my daily life,
I feel Master’s presence,
and as I learn and live
according to
Master’s teachings,
I feel I’m not alone anymore
and I never feel lonely.
A teacher surely
is concerned with
each individual student.
Master has
countless disciples, but
how can she take care of
all of them one by one?
I can’t imagine how infinite
Master’s capacity is,
and her teachings.
Thank you, Master!
I love you.
As she works invisibly
with each
willing individual,
Supreme Master
Ching Hai’s
spiritual guidance
helps to awaken the true,
wise and loving Self inside,
dispelling the darkness
from all corners
of the heart.
One of the things that
I found very beneficial
from Master Ching Hai
was that she said to us
that we can meditate
anytime during the day.
Whereas before
I used to feel frustrated
or annoyed that I was not
doing anything at work
if there were no customers
at the shop that I work at,
now I can just go inward.
I feel like I’m not wasting
my life at any point
any time in my life.
And that probably
comes across
to the customers as well
when they do come in.
I’m obviously a lot more
settled, calm, peaceful,
happy and nice
to the customers.
Because we meditate
in the morning
before going to work,
and meditate after
coming home from work,
then in the evening
before going to bed.
Therefore, it is like
having a shower every day
to clean ourselves,
to make our soul clean
so that we could
feel more calm and
have less of a worldly,
competitive attitude,
but rather feel very happy.
Also, Master’s teachings
also encourage people
to be vegan, meaning
no animal products
should be used.
These are very good
precepts because
when our spirit is not
coming in contact with
any animal products,
we will have a
much lighter meditation,
and our daily life will be
so much more smoother,
filled with peace and joy.
And everywhere we go,
we will bring happiness
to others.
That’s why I’d like people
to know about this method,
that this method
is very precious
and very good
for everyone to practice.
And I am forever grateful
to Master
for giving me this method.
My sweet Master,
My sweet Master,
Master Ching Hai.
I thank you
with all my heart.
How can I tell the feelings
in my heart?
I thank you,
my sweet Master.
After the initiation,
I came to realize
that the bright light
that I have found inside
was actually Master.
Supreme Master Ching Hai
has been with me
since I was young.
When I attended a retreat,
I talked to Master
about “blessings.”
I explained to Master
that wherever I go,
I would receive
so much blessing from
everything around me.
When I started
to see the world
with love, I could feel
the blessing power
coming from the trees,
from the rivers,
from the sun,
from the stars, even grass.
After talking (about this)
to Supreme Master
Ching Hai,
she lovingly said,
“Congratulations, sister!”
which I did not understand
the meaning at the time.
Until the New Year
(2011) when there was
the live conference
with Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
Master talked about
the blessing on humans
from everything
around us.
I would like to thank
Supreme Master Ching Hai
for giving me
the opportunity
to learn and to know
my own inner Buddha.
Sometimes
I’ll be struggling
with something in life
and then
I’ll have a meditation
and it’ll just come to me.
The lesson will be solved
during meditation.
When I meditate,
I experience Light.
Spiritual Light,
inner Light
and it’s very powerful,
very beautiful.
Because it carries wisdom
with it.
It comes from
a higher source,
and it brings you up
to that source.
The inner Sound and Light
is really the true teaching
of Supreme Master
Ching Hai.
Master Ching Hai,
you’re doing so much
for everyone.
And so I just want to say
thank you for everything,
because that’s the only way
that I can cover it all.
And I love you very much.
Recently, I worked with
the food preparation team
for “The Real Love”
musical event.
While working,
I pondered the question,
what is “the real love”
and how can I put it
into action in daily life.
And I truly realized that
it’s the organic vegan diet.
Because we have many
problems in the world,
such as famine,
food shortage, many
unidentified diseases,
and wars.
And the fundamental
solution to them
is the organic vegan diet,
just as many experts
and studies indicate.
Therefore, Master put forth
the organic vegan diet
as a concrete means
to put the real love
into action, and
I think of this very often.
I wish Master health always
and wish the golden age
will be realized quickly
and that we’ll live
in that age together.
Thank you!
In May 1999, during her
European lecture tour
across 18 countries,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
made a humanitarian trip
to Armenia, where
she met with dignitaries,
made personal visits
to orphanages and
other sites, and donated
at least US$250,000
toward various causes.
Immediately
after the lecture,
Supreme Master Ching Hai
left to visit earthquake
stricken regions.
I and a few other
Association members
who were visiting Armenia
met Supreme Master
Ching Hai and together
we visited nursing homes
and orphanages where
we witnessed expressions
of her grand
unconditional love.
I have seen how
wholeheartedly she was
hugging elderly people,
giving them hope and
personally presenting
each of them with gifts.
I have witnessed how
Master lovingly treated
children in orphanages
and talked to them,
giving each child a present.
In turn, the children
were dancing, singing
and reciting poetry
for our beloved
Supreme Master Ching Hai.
I have never in my life
seen such a boundless
expression of love
and I was emotional
the entire time.
I remember one of the
officials accompanying
Supreme Master
conveyed to us,
“I do not know what
is happening with me,
it has only been three days
since I’ve met
this fabulous lady
and I’ve felt totally
transformed, I speak
with everyone with
an abundance of love.
Believe me I am
very coarsely spoken,
both at home and
with my employees,
but since meeting
Supreme Master Ching Hai
I speak with everyone
only lovingly
and everyone is very
pleasantly surprised,
so am I.”
On this occasion of
Teachers’ Day
I would like to say
Happy Teachers’ Day
to our Beloved Teacher
and wish her great health,
strength, energy,
and all of the infinite
blessings of the universe.
Actually all of us
have to be teachers.
For the children’s sake
and for them
to learn from us, and for us
to learn from the sages
of old and new
about the ideal lifestyle
for humankind,
so that we can pass it on
to our children,
we can draw from
the exemplary lives
of the sages who practiced
the compassionate way
of life.
We are the children
of God, no?
So to go back to be
the children of God again,
it’s so easy.
The two things to do:
physical and spiritual.
Physical: clean ourselves
by turning back to the
compassionate lifestyle,
God-like lifestyle,
Heaven-like lifestyle.
No harming,
no killing others.
Secondly, spiritual.
We have to find that Guide,
the Guide that knows,
the friend or teacher,
whatever you call him
or her, a Guide, who has
already been enlightened,
who already sees the Light.
You are that Light.
You are that God quality.
And there’s also
the Music of the spheres.
You can hear forever and
it will soothe your troubles,
heal your bodies,
enlighten your souls,
make you
closer and closer to God.
On this
World Teacher’s Day,
we join in expressing
our heartfelt gratitude
to Supreme Master
Ching Hai,
a Teacher for the world
who not only offers
true knowledge
of the universe
but also affects our hearts
profoundly with your
love and compassion.
Blessed are we
to learn from you.
We most sincerely wish you
an abundance
of joy, youthfulness
and divine strength
so that your beautiful
dream of peace for all
will soon come true.
To the noble teachers
in all fields of life,
our appreciation
for your bringing about
an ever brighter future
through the lives
you so caringly touch.
May the Providence
bless you as you continue
your most honorable work.
Kind viewers,
it was a pleasure having
your company today.
Now, please stay with us
here on
Supreme Master Television

The Noble Way of Living,

Blessed be your courageous
and selfless heart.
