Take a look into the candid conversations between Supreme Master Ching Hai and Her disciples, on subjects ranging from spirituality to daily life, as well as rare insights into other realms beyond Earth.

If we still believe that to improve our purity, to improve our wisdom is the highest purpose of humanity, then we must make effort. ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai (Vegan) World-renowned Humanitarian, Artist, and Spiritual Master
