The Dogs in My Life, Vol. 1

To be able to share a home with someone who loves you unconditionally and faithfully, it is one of the greatest joys in life. In the more recent years, some blessed and beautiful beings have found such a home through the love of a gentle poet and a living spiritual teacher. Supreme Master Ching Hai, or Mom as she is known to 10 very special dogs and other animals, has given them a loving home, and the greatest delight and blessing that any being could ever experience: to be in the grace and presence of Love incarnated.

In the newly released The Dogs in My Life (Volumes 1 & 2), the first publication lovingly written and personally designed by Supreme Master Ching Hai, readers will re-discover the simplicity of love and rejoice in the sincerity of friendship, as exhibited by the 10 canine friends, with names like Benny, Lucky, Happy, Goody, and Hermit. Learn about the Scholar, Fruity, Princissa, Chip Ahoy, the Shadow Hunter, and others; listen to their engaging tales. They all have diverse life stories and distinctive personalities, yet their devotion for their human pet is unequivocal, and their humor, intelligence and many other noble qualities are truly from the same source. Read The Dogs in My Life, and fall in love with some the most special beings on Earth.

I hope to let the readers enjoy some glimpse of the beautiful ways that dogs walk the Earth with us, and through them, understand more about other beings. ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai

The Supreme Master Ching Hai was born in Central Au Lac (Vietnam). At the age of eighteen, Master Ching Hai moved to England to study, and then later to France and then Germany, where She worked for the Red Cross and married a German physician. After two years of happy marriage, with Her husband's blessings, She left Her marriage in pursuit of enlightenment, thus fulfilling an ideal that had been with Her since Her childhood. This began a time of arduous pilgrimages to many different countries that ended only when She met a perfect living Master in the Himalayas.

Master Ching Hai received the divine transmission of the inner Light and Sound, which She later called the Quan Yin Method. After a period of diligent practice, She attained Perfect Enlightenment.

To satisfy the longing of sincere Truth seekers, the Supreme Master Ching Hai offers the Quan Yin Method of meditation to people of all nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds. Her message of love and peace brings spiritual liberation and hope to people throughout the world, reminding all to uphold Truth, Virtue, and Beauty in life.
