清海
East/West PhD Psychologist, Timothy Conway writes: "Though Ching Hai can be stern from time to time with her disciples, she often can be seen happily singing simple, romantic folksongs with them for hours at a time. This attractive blend of power and simplicity, virtue and joy, has many people revering Ching Hai as a manifestation of Guan-yin Bodhisattva". Hai calls her meditation method the Guan Yin (Chinese) or Quan Yin Method because She gave her first public teachings in Taiwan. Quan Yin is a Chinese term that means "observation of the inner vibration".
