==Life and career==
Ching Hai was born to a Vietnamese mother and a Chinese father, on 12 May 1950 in a small village in the [[Quảng Ngãi Province]] in Vietnam.<ref name="young">{{cite news | last = Young | first = Gordon | title = God Inc. | work = SF Weekly | date = 22 May 1996 | url = http://www.sfweekly.com/1996-05-22/news/god-inc/ | access-date = 15 April 2007 | archive-date = 30 September 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930181423/http://www.sfweekly.com/1996-05-22/news/god-inc/ | url-status = live }}</ref> In 1969, she began a relationship with a German scientist.<ref name="partridge" /><ref name="guzman">{{cite news | last = Guzmán | first = Rafer | title = Immaterial Girl | work = Metro | date = 28 March 1996 | url = http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/03.28.96/suma-9613.html | access-date = 5 January 2006 | archive-date = 21 December 2005 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051221055938/http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/03.28.96/suma-9613.html | url-status = live }}</ref> They married, but separated after two years to focus on spiritualism.<ref name="young"/> In 1979, she met a [[Buddhist]] monk in Germany whom she followed for three years, but his monastery denied entry to females.<ref name="guzman"/> She moved to India to study different religions.{{when|date=August 2017}}
Hai attempted to buy a copy of the [[Bhagavad Gita]] from a bookshop near the [[Ganges]]. Despite the shopkeepers' assertions that they did not have a copy, an extensive search revealed one in a sealed box. This led to rumours of her having a [[third eye]] circulating by 1982.<ref name=thornton08/> In 1983, she met a Vietnamese Buddhist monk in [[Taiwan]] named Jing-Xing, who ordained her in 1984 as "Thanh Hai", meaning "pure ocean".<ref name="guzman"/>
According to her official biography, Ching Hai was born to a well-off [[naturopathy|naturopathic]] family in [[Âu Lạc]], Hanoi, Vietnam. Though raised as a [[Roman Catholic]], she learned the basics of Buddhism from her grandmother. A Himalayas spiritual teacher showed her a particular meditation method which she named ''Quan Yin method''.<ref name="offbio">{{cite news | author = Supreme Master Ching Hai | title = God's Direct Contact | publisher = Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association | date = March 2009 | url = http://godsdirectcontact.us/bio.html | access-date = 11 March 2009 | archive-date = 2 February 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120202064328/http://godsdirectcontact.us/bio.html | url-status = dead }}</ref>
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.<ref name=eichman/>
Currently, Hai doesn't operate under the guise of traditional Buddhism. Her home page calls her "Supreme Master Ching Hai, a renowned humanitarian, artist, and spiritual leader" (lingxiu daoshi 領袖道士). Her current irreverence for religious traditions in general, have made her more synonymous to a [[Zen master]].<ref name=eichman/>
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 [[Guanyin|Guan-yin]] Bodhisattva".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Conway |first1=Timothy |title=Women of Buddhism |url=https://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Spirit_Chapter_Two_Buddhism.html |website=Enlightened-Spirituality.org |access-date=9 February 2020 |archive-date=18 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180718062849/http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Spirit_Chapter_Two_Buddhism.html |url-status=live }}</ref> 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".<ref name=taeyoung1/>
Her meditation centres in American cities such as Los Angeles benefit from tax-exempt status as religious organizations.<ref name="young"/> She presides over an organization which owns restaurants and sells her jewellery and clothes.<ref name="guzman"/>
==Corporate operations==
Hai is the founder of the [[Loving Hut]] restaurant chain, which in 2017 had 200 locations in 35 countries worldwide.<ref name=childs/>
Her organization's numerous websites are offered in 17 languages. The Celestial Shop "includes a line of Celestial apparel and Celestial jewelry designed by the Master".<ref name=thornton08/>
Liam D. Murphy, professor of [[anthropology]] at [[California State University, Sacramento|California State]] has stated that "Ching Hai is a textbook example of what [[Social science|social scientists]] call a [[Charismatic authority|charismatic prophet]]" and that the [[Religious abuse|abuse of power]] over her own members in loving hut is a hypothetical possibility “If anyone is in danger...it is usually their own members". Murphy states that the proper term for her movement is not “[[cult]],” but more accurately a [[new religious movement]]".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-12-28|title=Know thy master|url=https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/know-thy-master/1896856/|url-status=live|access-date=2022-01-01|website=[[News & Review]]|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226102213/https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/know-thy-master/1896856/ |archive-date=26 February 2021 }}</ref> The ''Database of Religious History'' ([[University of British Columbia]]), states regarding Ching Hai's movement "Does the religious group actively [[Proselytism|proselytize]] and recruit new members: No." with [[subject-matter expert]], anthropologist Stephen Christopher commentating "Not really.

[[Christian mission|Christian missionary]] groups are particularly interested in debunking Ching Hai even though they may have no direct contact with the organization. These online forums often devolve into misunderstanding and exaggeration and Ching Hai adherents often express hurt and disappointment when they discover such material. Conversely, some adherents have disaffiliated after encountering anti-Ching Hai material".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Christopher|first=Stephen|title=Supreme Master Ching Hai World Society (General Variables/Group interaction)|url=https://religiondatabase.org/browse/570/#/|url-status=live|access-date=2022-01-04|website=religiondatabase.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220104024742/https://religiondatabase.org/browse/570/ |archive-date=4 January 2022 }}</ref>

[[File:Supreme Master Ching Hai Int'l Asso Publishing 20131120.jpg|thumb|The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association Publishing Co., Ltd. was founded on 1st Fl., No.236, Songshan Rd., [[Xinyi District, Taipei]], [[Taiwan]].]]
Hai has founded organizations including the Supreme Master Ching Hai International, World Peace Media, Oceans of Love Entertainment and Supreme Master Television.
In late 2008, Ching Hai launched a media campaign in Australia and New Zealand asking people to "Be Green, Go Veg, Save the Planet".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/bleak-days-at-cape-grim-as-beef-bashed/story-e6frg6ox-1225791165315| title = Bleak days at Cape Grim as beef bashed | work= [[The Australian]]| date = 26 October 2009| access-date = 15 December 2009}}</ref>
The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association has made submissions to the [[Garnaut Climate Change Review]], advocating large cuts to livestock production.
According to political scientist Patricia Thornton at the [[University of Oxford]], the Ching Hai World Society's heavy reliance on the internet for text distribution, recruitment and information-sharing, marks the group as a transnational [[cybersect]].<ref name=thornton08/> Thornton claimed that the source of income behind Hai's numerous business ventures is unknown<ref name=thornton08/> and that much of the media produced by her television programmes is heavily self-referential and promotional and aims to "build a public record of recognition for group activities."<ref name = thornton08/>
Anthropologist Saskia Abrahms-Kavunenko at [[Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies]] stated that similar to [[Ravi Shankar (spiritual leader)|Ravi Shankar]] movement, Ching Hai group generally don't self identify as a religion and are very [[ecumenical]]. Abrahms-Kavunenko has also noted that while in the field in [[Mongolia]], Hai's group especially via ''Supreme Master Television'' 24 hour broadcast is influencing many Buddhists ideas on meditation and enlightenment, even though they are not sure of the authenticity of her claims.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Abrahms-Kavunenko |first1=Saskia |title=Enlightenment and the Gasping City: Mongolian Buddhism at a Time of Environmental Disarray |date=2019 |publisher=Cornell University Press |isbn=978-1-5017-3766-4 |pages=187,193 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i-KEDwAAQBAJ&q=+%22ching+hai%22&pg=PA193 |access-date=3 February 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
In ''Prominent Nuns: Influential Taiwanese Voices'' ([[CrossCurrents]] 2011), Religious studies [[Research associate]] Jennifer Eichman of the ''Centere of Buddhist Studies'' at [[SOAS University of London]] summarizes: While to some, Ching Hai's movement is considered Buddhist [[Heresy]] and to others a [[New Age]] religious organization. Accusations of being a [[Cult]] group have been made repeatedly over the years, especially in newspaper articles and by cult watchers. Ching Hai's response to this accusation is that participants were free to leave at any time.<ref name=eichman/>
In Eichman's own view, as infuriating as Hai's persona, her materialism and unsystematic religious synthesizing is to the Taiwanese Buddhist community and to others who have called her a cult leader, when we set aside her Buddhist roots and compare her work to that of an ever-changing array of self-made gurus, spiritual guides and newly formed religions that make up the New Age marketplace, it becomes evident that Ching Hai's work is neither the most radical nor innovative. She states that the controversies swirling around Hai should not stop us from noting just how gutsy it was for her to strike out on her own, and with her unusual prominence as a female spiritual leader, Ching Hai in effect demonstrates her ability to compete in a spiritual arena dominated largely by men. And we should be open to the idea that not all female leaders will remain within the religious mainstream.<ref name=eichman/>
==Quan Yin method==
Hai first demonstrated the "Immeasurable Light Meditation Center and the Way of Sound Contemplation" or Quan Yin method of meditation in Miaoli, Taiwan.<ref name=thornton08/> According to Hai "The method is transmitted without words ... In fact, it isn't really a method. It's the [[Adhiṣṭhāna|power of the Master]]. If you have it, then you can transmit it. The Method is a [[Transcendence (religion)|transcendental]] one that cannot be described by our language. Even if someone describes it to you, you won't receive the Light and the vibration, the inner peace and Wisdom".<ref>{{cite web |title=What is the Quan Yin Method? |url=http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/eng/qym/qym-1.htm |website=The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association|access-date=7 February 2020 |archive-date=1 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101091101/http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/eng/qym/qym-1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> In Supreme Master TV series ''A Journey through [[Sublime (philosophy)#Ancient philosophy|Aesthetic]] Realms'', episode ''Path of Saints: [[Sant Mat|Sant Mat Tradition]] of Light'' it is stated "Sant Mat was first brought to the West by [[Sawan Singh|Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji]], who graced the Earth in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th Century...The lineage for contacting the inner Light and Sound has continued since time immemorial through various enlightened Masters. Today, Supreme Master Ching Hai is a living Master who is also able to impart the way of the Light and Sound through the Quan Yin Method.".<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Journey through Aesthetic Realms Path of Saints: Sant Mat Tradition of Light and Sound|url=http://suprememastertv.tv/ajar/?wr_id=409&page=8|access-date=2022-01-23|website=suprememastertv.tv}}</ref>
The method involves meditation on the "inner light and the inner sound" of [[God]] or the [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]]. Hai claims that the [[Bible]] acknowledged the existence of this method and that it has been repeatedly re-used by most major religions.<ref name="young"/> As an example, in Buddhism, she refers to the [[Śūraṅgama Sūtra]], [[Nāda yoga#Primary literature|where Avalokitesvara says]] that he attained [[Enlightenment in Buddhism|enlightenment]] through concentration on the subtle inner sound, and then Buddha asserts "That is how enlightenment is won. Buddhas as many as the [[Ganges]]’ sand entered this one gateway to [[Nirvana (Buddhism)|Nirvana]]. All past [[Tathāgata|Tathagatas]] have achieved this method. All [[Bodhisattva|Bodhisattvas]] now enter this perfection. All who practice in the future should rely on this [[Dharma#Buddhism|Dharma]].”.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Traces of Quan Yin in Religion - Contemplation on the Inner Heavenly Sound, Part 1 of 3 - English|url=https://suprememastertv.com/en1/v/130985368178.html#:~:text=All%20Bodhisattvas%20now%20enter%20this,should%20rely%20on%20this%20Dharma.%E2%80%9D&text=%E2%80%9CThus%20the%20LOGOS%20OF%20THE,It%20supports%20the%20All.|access-date=2022-02-09|website=suprememastertv.com|language=en-US}}</ref>
The Quan Yin method "Full Initiation" involves a life-long commitment to a [[vegan]] diet, adherence to the [[Five Precepts]] of [[Buddhism]] and at least two hours meditation daily. "Quick initiation" or "Convenient Method", requires a half hour's meditation daily and abstinence from meat for ten days each month.<ref name="hughes" />
[[Religious studies]] scholar Jennifer Eichman notes that this particular meditation method is not part of the standard Buddhist repertoire. Hai's modified synthesis of the method is primarily in Christian-Buddhist jargon with a sprinkling of Hindu ideas. Ching Hai is more likely to cite the Bible than Hindu texts. Ching Hai claims, following standard [[Zen]] doctrine, that everyone is the Buddha; they simply need to realize this fact. In a departure from Christian doctrine, Ching Hai claims that God is not the creator of humans; rather [[Karma in Buddhism|karmic]] accumulation is responsible for the repeated transmigration of the soul.<ref name=eichman>{{cite journal |last1=Eichman |first1=Jennifer |title=Prominent Nuns: Influential Taiwanese Voices |journal=[[CrossCurrents]] |date=2011 |volume=61 |issue=3 |pages=345–373 |url=https://www.academia.edu/1388514 |access-date=4 February 2020 |language=en |issn=0011-1953|doi=10.1111/j.1939-3881.2011.00187.x }}</ref>
Korean [[Brain & Body|Dahnhak]] [[Qigong]] expert Kim Tae-young, author of the popular ''Leading Experience'' guidebooks (in Korean) — published in 102 volumes since 1990,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Park |first1=Sung-Man |title=Caring for the Body and Minds (originally in Korean) |url=https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=ko&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fm.skyedaily.com%2Fnews_view.html%3FID%3D8584 |access-date=7 February 2020 |publisher=SkyeDaily.com |date=24 February 2013}}</ref> has written in ''Leading Experience'' vol 37 (1997) that ''Quan Chi'' (concentrating on [[Qi|Chi]]) and ''Quan Nian'', (observing [[Concept|conceptions]]) are more familiar terms than the term ''Quan Yin'' (observation of the inner vibration). Kim at that time; an initiate of Hai's "Convenient Method" explains "Quan Yin signifies the practice of observing sound in the literal sense. It is not the crude vibratory sound of matter we hear from the outside, but the deepest inner sound heard from the real self and the Truth".

"Following an investigation into the sect, its beliefs, and activities, party authorities concluded that the organization was fundamentally anti-communist and labeled it a 'reactionary religious organization.{{'"}}<ref name="thornton08" />
The Chinese government labeled the group as [[xiejiao]], roughly translating to "evil cult" but clarified in 2000 as meaning any group that:{{quote|
a. establishes an illegal organization in the name of religion, qigong, etc.;<br/>
b. [[Apotheosis|deifies]] its leaders;<br/>

Further, in 2017 the China Anti-Cult website listed Guanyin method as one of eleven "dangerous groups".<ref name="blacklist" />
In 2002, the manager of the Wuhan Zhongzhi Electric Testing Equipment Company was accused by the Chinese authorities of using the business as a cover to "support [[Heresy|heresies]]" associated with the Quan Yin method.<ref name="thornton08" /> The enterprise supported thirty practitioners who "masqueraded as employees and business associates."

In 2003, park rangers discovered a man-made island and a {{convert|330|ft|m|adj=mid}} long boardwalk that had been illegally constructed in [[Biscayne National Park]] in [[Florida]] from Ching Hai's property just inland of the shoreline. The estimated cost to remove the boardwalk, [[Mangrove restoration|restore]] the damaged [[Florida mangroves|mangrove forest]], and remove the several tons of limestone boulders from the environmentally sensitive [[seagrass bed]], was US$1 million. [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade]] seized the property of Ching Hai, known locally under the pseudonym Celestia De Lamour, to help recover the costs of restoration. The following year, park workers demolished the boardwalk and replanted between 400 and 500 [[mangrove]] trees in the area. The artificial island of boulders remained due to lack of funding to hire a barge, which would cost several hundred thousand dollars. According to the Miami Herald, "Federal agencies still hope to recoup costs from the landowner, but investigators say she and her workers have left the country."<ref name="miami3">{{cite news|date=26 March 2004|title=Park service to eliminate island|work=The Washington Times|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/mar/16/20040316-115047-8380r/?page=3|url-status=usurped|access-date=14 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121104110144/http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/mar/16/20040316-115047-8380r/?page=3|archive-date=4 November 2012}}</ref><ref name="independent3">{{cite news|date=28 March 2004|title=A mystery in Miami as sect leader and an instant island disappear|work=The Independent|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/a-mystery-in-miami-as-sect-leader-and-an-instant-island-disappear-567888.html|url-status=live|access-date=24 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180514145939/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/a-mystery-in-miami-as-sect-leader-and-an-instant-island-disappear-567888.html|archive-date=14 May 2018}}</ref><ref name="palmetto3">{{cite news|last=Morgan|first=Curtis|date=24 March 2004|title=Park removes access to illegal bay island|work=The Miami Herald (Link to Ross Institute)|url=http://culteducation.com/group/1251-suma-ching-hai/3662-park-removes-access-to-illegal-bay-island.html|url-status=live|access-date=11 August 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150408224422/http://culteducation.com/group/1251-suma-ching-hai/3662-park-removes-access-to-illegal-bay-island.html|archive-date=8 April 2015}}</ref> Removing mangroves without a permit is prohibited in Florida and carries a fine.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.floridabar.org/the-florida-bar-journal/man-let-em-grow-the-state-of-florida-mangrove-laws/|title=Man Let 'em Grow: The State of Florida Mangrove Laws|first=Kellyalexis|last=Fisher|date=1998|publisher=Florida Bar Journal}}</ref>

==Life and career==
Ching Hai was born to a Vietnamese mother and a Chinese father, on 12 May 1950 in a small village in the [[Quảng Ngãi Province]] in Vietnam.<ref name="young">{{cite news | last = Young | first = Gordon | title = God Inc. | work = SF Weekly | date = 22 May 1996 | url = http://www.sfweekly.com/1996-05-22/news/god-inc/ | access-date = 15 April 2007 | archive-date = 30 September 2007 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070930181423/http://www.sfweekly.com/1996-05-22/news/god-inc/ | url-status = live }}</ref> In 1969, she began a relationship with a German scientist.<ref name="partridge" /><ref name="guzman">{{cite news | last = Guzmán | first = Rafer | title = Immaterial Girl | work = Metro | date = 28 March 1996 | url = http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/03.28.96/suma-9613.html | access-date = 5 January 2006 | archive-date = 21 December 2005 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051221055938/http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/03.28.96/suma-9613.html | url-status = live }}</ref> They married, but separated after two years to focus on spiritualism.<ref name="young"/> In 1979, she met a [[Buddhist]] monk in Germany whom she followed for three years, but his monastery denied entry to females.<ref name="guzman"/> She moved to India to study different religions.{{when|date=August 2017}}
Hai attempted to buy a copy of the [[Bhagavad Gita]] from a bookshop near the [[Ganges]]. Despite the shopkeepers' assertions that they did not have a copy, an extensive search revealed one in a sealed box. This led to rumours of her having a [[third eye]] circulating by 1982.<ref name=thornton08/> In 1983, she met a Vietnamese Buddhist monk in [[Taiwan]] named Jing-Xing, who ordained her in 1984 as "Thanh Hai", meaning "pure ocean".<ref name="guzman"/>
According to her official biography, Ching Hai was born to a well-off [[naturopathy|naturopathic]] family in [[Âu Lạc]], Hanoi, Vietnam. Though raised as a [[Roman Catholic]], she learned the basics of Buddhism from her grandmother. A Himalayas spiritual teacher showed her a particular meditation method which she named ''Quan Yin method''.<ref name="offbio">{{cite news | author = Supreme Master Ching Hai | title = God's Direct Contact | publisher = Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association | date = March 2009 | url = http://godsdirectcontact.us/bio.html | access-date = 11 March 2009 | archive-date = 2 February 2012 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120202064328/http://godsdirectcontact.us/bio.html | url-status = dead }}</ref>
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.<ref name=eichman/>
Currently, Hai doesn't operate under the guise of traditional Buddhism. Her home page calls her "Supreme Master Ching Hai, a renowned humanitarian, artist, and spiritual leader" (lingxiu daoshi 領袖道士). Her current irreverence for religious traditions in general, have made her more synonymous to a [[Zen master]].<ref name=eichman/>
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 [[Guanyin|Guan-yin]] Bodhisattva".<ref>{{cite web |last1=Conway |first1=Timothy |title=Women of Buddhism |url=https://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Spirit_Chapter_Two_Buddhism.html |website=Enlightened-Spirituality.org |access-date=9 February 2020 |archive-date=18 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180718062849/http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Spirit_Chapter_Two_Buddhism.html |url-status=live }}</ref> 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".<ref name=taeyoung1/>
Her meditation centres in American cities such as Los Angeles benefit from tax-exempt status as religious organizations.<ref name="young"/> She presides over an organization which owns restaurants and sells her jewellery and clothes.<ref name="guzman"/>
==Corporate operations==
Hai is the founder of the [[Loving Hut]] restaurant chain, which in 2017 had 200 locations in 35 countries worldwide.<ref name=childs/>
Her organization's numerous websites are offered in 17 languages. The Celestial Shop "includes a line of Celestial apparel and Celestial jewelry designed by the Master".<ref name=thornton08/>
Liam D. Murphy, professor of [[anthropology]] at [[California State University, Sacramento|California State]] has stated that "Ching Hai is a textbook example of what [[Social science|social scientists]] call a [[Charismatic authority|charismatic prophet]]" and that the [[Religious abuse|abuse of power]] over her own members in loving hut is a hypothetical possibility “If anyone is in danger...it is usually their own members". Murphy states that the proper term for her movement is not “[[cult]],” but more accurately a [[new religious movement]]".<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-12-28|title=Know thy master|url=https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/know-thy-master/1896856/|url-status=live|access-date=2022-01-01|website=[[News & Review]]|language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226102213/https://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content/know-thy-master/1896856/ |archive-date=26 February 2021 }}</ref> The ''Database of Religious History'' ([[University of British Columbia]]), states regarding Ching Hai's movement "Does the religious group actively [[Proselytism|proselytize]] and recruit new members: No." with [[subject-matter expert]], anthropologist Stephen Christopher commentating "Not really.

[[Christian mission|Christian missionary]] groups are particularly interested in debunking Ching Hai even though they may have no direct contact with the organization. These online forums often devolve into misunderstanding and exaggeration and Ching Hai adherents often express hurt and disappointment when they discover such material. Conversely, some adherents have disaffiliated after encountering anti-Ching Hai material".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Christopher|first=Stephen|title=Supreme Master Ching Hai World Society (General Variables/Group interaction)|url=https://religiondatabase.org/browse/570/#/|url-status=live|access-date=2022-01-04|website=religiondatabase.org|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220104024742/https://religiondatabase.org/browse/570/ |archive-date=4 January 2022 }}</ref>

=== International organizations ===
[[File:Supreme Master Ching Hai Int'l Asso Publishing 20131120.jpg|thumb|The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association Publishing Co., Ltd. was founded on 1st Fl., No.236, Songshan Rd., [[Xinyi District, Taipei]], [[Taiwan]].]]
Hai has founded organizations including the Supreme Master Ching Hai International, World Peace Media, Oceans of Love Entertainment and Supreme Master Television.
In late 2008, Ching Hai launched a media campaign in Australia and New Zealand asking people to "Be Green, Go Veg, Save the Planet".<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/bleak-days-at-cape-grim-as-beef-bashed/story-e6frg6ox-1225791165315| title = Bleak days at Cape Grim as beef bashed | work= [[The Australian]]| date = 26 October 2009| access-date = 15 December 2009}}</ref>
The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association has made submissions to the [[Garnaut Climate Change Review]], advocating large cuts to livestock production.
According to political scientist Patricia Thornton at the [[University of Oxford]], the Ching Hai World Society's heavy reliance on the internet for text distribution, recruitment and information-sharing, marks the group as a transnational [[cybersect]].<ref name=thornton08/> Thornton claimed that the source of income behind Hai's numerous business ventures is unknown<ref name=thornton08/> and that much of the media produced by her television programmes is heavily self-referential and promotional and aims to "build a public record of recognition for group activities."<ref name = thornton08/>
Anthropologist Saskia Abrahms-Kavunenko at [[Max Weber Center for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies]] stated that similar to [[Ravi Shankar (spiritual leader)|Ravi Shankar]] movement, Ching Hai group generally don't self identify as a religion and are very [[ecumenical]]. Abrahms-Kavunenko has also noted that while in the field in [[Mongolia]], Hai's group especially via ''Supreme Master Television'' 24 hour broadcast is influencing many Buddhists ideas on meditation and enlightenment, even though they are not sure of the authenticity of her claims.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Abrahms-Kavunenko |first1=Saskia |title=Enlightenment and the Gasping City: Mongolian Buddhism at a Time of Environmental Disarray |date=2019 |publisher=Cornell University Press |isbn=978-1-5017-3766-4 |pages=187,193 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i-KEDwAAQBAJ&q=+%22ching+hai%22&pg=PA193 |access-date=3 February 2020 |language=en}}</ref>
In ''Prominent Nuns: Influential Taiwanese Voices'' ([[CrossCurrents]] 2011), Religious studies [[Research associate]] Jennifer Eichman of the ''Centere of Buddhist Studies'' at [[SOAS University of London]] summarizes: While to some, Ching Hai's movement is considered Buddhist [[Heresy]] and to others a [[New Age]] religious organization. Accusations of being a [[Cult]] group have been made repeatedly over the years, especially in newspaper articles and by cult watchers. Ching Hai's response to this accusation is that participants were free to leave at any time.<ref name=eichman/>
In Eichman's own view, as infuriating as Hai's persona, her materialism and unsystematic religious synthesizing is to the Taiwanese Buddhist community and to others who have called her a cult leader, when we set aside her Buddhist roots and compare her work to that of an ever-changing array of self-made gurus, spiritual guides and newly formed religions that make up the New Age marketplace, it becomes evident that Ching Hai's work is neither the most radical nor innovative. She states that the controversies swirling around Hai should not stop us from noting just how gutsy it was for her to strike out on her own, and with her unusual prominence as a female spiritual leader, Ching Hai in effect demonstrates her ability to compete in a spiritual arena dominated largely by men. And we should be open to the idea that not all female leaders will remain within the religious mainstream.<ref name=eichman/>
==Quan Yin method==
Hai first demonstrated the "Immeasurable Light Meditation Center and the Way of Sound Contemplation" or Quan Yin method of meditation in Miaoli, Taiwan.<ref name=thornton08/> According to Hai "The method is transmitted without words ... In fact, it isn't really a method. It's the [[Adhiṣṭhāna|power of the Master]]. If you have it, then you can transmit it. The Method is a [[Transcendence (religion)|transcendental]] one that cannot be described by our language. Even if someone describes it to you, you won't receive the Light and the vibration, the inner peace and Wisdom".<ref>{{cite web |title=What is the Quan Yin Method? |url=http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/eng/qym/qym-1.htm |website=The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association|access-date=7 February 2020 |archive-date=1 January 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101091101/http://www.godsdirectcontact.org.tw/eng/qym/qym-1.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> In Supreme Master TV series ''A Journey through [[Sublime (philosophy)#Ancient philosophy|Aesthetic]] Realms'', episode ''Path of Saints: [[Sant Mat|Sant Mat Tradition]] of Light'' it is stated "Sant Mat was first brought to the West by [[Sawan Singh|Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji]], who graced the Earth in the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th Century...The lineage for contacting the inner Light and Sound has continued since time immemorial through various enlightened Masters. Today, Supreme Master Ching Hai is a living Master who is also able to impart the way of the Light and Sound through the Quan Yin Method.".<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Journey through Aesthetic Realms Path of Saints: Sant Mat Tradition of Light and Sound|url=http://suprememastertv.tv/ajar/?wr_id=409&page=8|access-date=2022-01-23|website=suprememastertv.tv}}</ref>
The method involves meditation on the "inner light and the inner sound" of [[God]] or the [[Gautama Buddha|Buddha]]. Hai claims that the [[Bible]] acknowledged the existence of this method and that it has been repeatedly re-used by most major religions.<ref name="young"/> As an example, in Buddhism, she refers to the [[Śūraṅgama Sūtra]], [[Nāda yoga#Primary literature|where Avalokitesvara says]] that he attained [[Enlightenment in Buddhism|enlightenment]] through concentration on the subtle inner sound, and then Buddha asserts "That is how enlightenment is won. Buddhas as many as the [[Ganges]]’ sand entered this one gateway to [[Nirvana (Buddhism)|Nirvana]]. All past [[Tathāgata|Tathagatas]] have achieved this method. All [[Bodhisattva|Bodhisattvas]] now enter this perfection. All who practice in the future should rely on this [[Dharma#Buddhism|Dharma]].”.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Traces of Quan Yin in Religion - Contemplation on the Inner Heavenly Sound, Part 1 of 3 - English|url=https://suprememastertv.com/en1/v/130985368178.html#:~:text=All%20Bodhisattvas%20now%20enter%20this,should%20rely%20on%20this%20Dharma.%E2%80%9D&text=%E2%80%9CThus%20the%20LOGOS%20OF%20THE,It%20supports%20the%20All.|access-date=2022-02-09|website=suprememastertv.com|language=en-US}}</ref>
The Quan Yin method "Full Initiation" involves a life-long commitment to a [[vegan]] diet, adherence to the [[Five Precepts]] of [[Buddhism]] and at least two hours meditation daily. "Quick initiation" or "Convenient Method", requires a half hour's meditation daily and abstinence from meat for ten days each month.<ref name="hughes" />
[[Religious studies]] scholar Jennifer Eichman notes that this particular meditation method is not part of the standard Buddhist repertoire. Hai's modified synthesis of the method is primarily in Christian-Buddhist jargon with a sprinkling of Hindu ideas. Ching Hai is more likely to cite the Bible than Hindu texts. Ching Hai claims, following standard [[Zen]] doctrine, that everyone is the Buddha; they simply need to realize this fact. In a departure from Christian doctrine, Ching Hai claims that God is not the creator of humans; rather [[Karma in Buddhism|karmic]] accumulation is responsible for the repeated transmigration of the soul.<ref name=eichman>{{cite journal |last1=Eichman |first1=Jennifer |title=Prominent Nuns: Influential Taiwanese Voices |journal=[[CrossCurrents]] |date=2011 |volume=61 |issue=3 |pages=345–373 |url=https://www.academia.edu/1388514 |access-date=4 February 2020 |language=en |issn=0011-1953|doi=10.1111/j.1939-3881.2011.00187.x }}</ref>

Kim at that time; an initiate of Hai's "Convenient Method" explains "Quan Yin signifies the practice of observing sound in the literal sense.

"Following an investigation into the sect, its beliefs, and activities, party authorities concluded that the organization was fundamentally anti-communist and labeled it a 'reactionary religious organization.{{'"}}<ref name="thornton08" />
The Chinese government labeled the group as [[xiejiao]], roughly translating to "evil cult" but clarified in 2000 as meaning any group that:{{quote|
a. establishes an illegal organization in the name of religion, qigong, etc.;<br/>
b. [[Apotheosis|deifies]] its leaders;<br/>

Further, in 2017 the China Anti-Cult website listed Guanyin method as one of eleven "dangerous groups".<ref name="blacklist" />
In 2002, the manager of the Wuhan Zhongzhi Electric Testing Equipment Company was accused by the Chinese authorities of using the business as a cover to "support [[Heresy|heresies]]" associated with the Quan Yin method.<ref name="thornton08" /> The enterprise supported thirty practitioners who "masqueraded as employees and business associates."

In 2003, park rangers discovered a man-made island and a {{convert|330|ft|m|adj=mid}} long boardwalk that had been illegally constructed in [[Biscayne National Park]] in [[Florida]] from Ching Hai's property just inland of the shoreline. The estimated cost to remove the boardwalk, [[Mangrove restoration|restore]] the damaged [[Florida mangroves|mangrove forest]], and remove the several tons of limestone boulders from the environmentally sensitive [[seagrass bed]], was US$1 million. [[Miami-Dade County, Florida|Miami-Dade]] seized the property of Ching Hai, known locally under the pseudonym Celestia De Lamour, to help recover the costs of restoration. The following year, park workers demolished the boardwalk and replanted between 400 and 500 [[mangrove]] trees in the area. The artificial island of boulders remained due to lack of funding to hire a barge, which would cost several hundred thousand dollars.

She states that the controversies swirling around Hai should not stop us from noting just how gutsy it was for her to strike out on her own, and with her unusual prominence as a female spiritual leader, Ching Hai in effect demonstrates her ability to compete in a spiritual arena dominated largely by men.
