清海
According to Ting Jen-Chieh (Ding Renjie), Assistant Research Fellow in the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, by the early 1990s Ching Hai was at war with the Buddhist establishment in Taiwan. Rather than submit to their demands, she severed all connections to Buddhist organizations, abandoned the traditional robe, grew out her hair, dressed fashionably, and set out to create her own independent group.
