A Trip to a Holy Land -

Supreme Master Ching Hai's Visit
to the Republic of Armenia

In a small corner of Europe exists the ancient country of Armenia, a Holy Land where the Biblical Noah's Ark landed on the summit of Mount Ararat. It is a beautiful, picturesque country that many consider an open air museum for its great architectural wonders and treasures. Armenians have a rich cultural heritage and are a deeply religious people. As the first country in the world to adopt Christianity as its state religion, it will soon celebrate its 1700th anniversary. Due to their sincerity and faith in God, the prayers of the Armenian people were finally answered with Supreme Master Ching Hai's visit on the auspicious occasion of Her European lecture tour.

Although Supreme Master Ching Hai visited Armenia for only two days, May 15 and 16, 1999, She warmed the country with Her love and compassion, leaving behind many sweet memories in the hearts of the people. The citizens of Armenia are filled with gratitude for the great humanitarian work that Master has done for their country. More importantly, they recognize that Master has left behind the "Supreme Method" called Quan Yin, which She offers unconditionally to those who are ready to connect with their inner Most High or Supreme Self.

The visit of Supreme Master Ching Hai to Armenia would not have been realized if it had not been for the efforts of Nadezdha Sarkisian. Ms. Sarkisian is a Congresswoman in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia and an internationally acclaimed popular singer who has worked with other famous artists such as Charles Aznavour and I. Resnik. She is particularly known throughout Armenia and Russia.

Ms. Sarkisian first learned of Supreme Master Ching Hai through a close Armenian friend who attended the benefit concert "One World...Of Peace Through Music" held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. in December of 1998. Recognizing the invaluable opportunity of receiving the venerable Supreme Master Ching Hai in her country, Ms. Sarkisian wasted no time in preparing a letter of invitation for Master to visit Armenia. Ms. Sarkisian worked meticulously with the Sharm Company, one of the biggest and most well-known firms in Russia and Armenia, to make sure that all the details of Master's visit were taken care of. After over two months of organizing, Ms. Sarkisian was finally rewarded with the acceptance and arrival of Supreme Master Ching Hai in Armenia. From Master's lecture to Her meetings with mayors, to a live broadcast of an interview on Armenian National TV, to an enchanting evening of music in honor of Master's visit, Ms. Sarkisian did a beautiful job of receiving Supreme Master Ching Hai in the most befitting manner.

The day Supreme Master Ching Hai first arrived in Yerevan, the bustling capital of Armenia, She was welcomed with a shower of rain, purifying the whole city and washing the stone masonry of the medieval buildings, which have not been touched by rainfall during the summer season for the past five years.

Lecture

On the morning of Saturday, May 15, 1999, in front of the most prestigious hotel in the country, the Hotel Armenia, a crowd of people, including policemen, bodyguards, members of the press, and the organizers themselves, waited to greet Master and accompany Her to the lecture hall, the Komitas House of Chamber Music, the "center of Armenian culture."

At 10:00 am, Supreme Master Ching Hai arrived at the lecture hall in a white Mercedes Benz with police escorts and bodyguards, all arranged by the organizers. The members of the media crew who waited for Master at the lecture site excitedly rushed forward to capture Her arrival. Children dressed in traditional Armenian costumes attentively stood in front of the entrance hall and greeted Master as She entered. The children respectfully bowed to Master, and following the tradition of welcoming guests to their country, offered bread and flowers as they escorted Her through the hall onto the stage. More than 1,500 guests in the hall, some with no chairs to sit in, stood up and applauded cheerfully as Master walked up to the stage.

During the lecture, Master shared with the attentive guests Her wisdom about how to live a happier life by contacting God, and reminded them that each one has God inside. She said, "Why do we have to undergo so much unhappiness, so much lack of spiritual wisdom? Why? And sometimes we pray a lot, and very, very sincerely, but we feel that God does not answer. Why? I have been shown how to contact God directly, and I have been ordered by God also to show it to you so that you can communicate with Hirm directly every day. You can see Hirm, you can hear Hirm, you can love Hirm, and you can feel loved by Hirm." As one of the newspapers, the Armenian Business Weekly, said, "...We need this Method (Quan Yin Method) no less than other people in the world because it makes us look within ourselves to discover our greatness."

Everyone was deeply impressed by Supreme Master Ching Hai, not only for Her wisdom and benevolence but also for Her many artistic talents. The guests, many of whom were important colleagues of the organizers and the music hall director, included people from many walks of life, such as doctors, lawyers, artists, poets, and musicians. At the adjacent art exhibition hall, they witnessed some of Master's artworks, including paintings, clothing, jewelry and lanterns. The consensus among the guests was that Master is definitely an extraordinary woman. Her ingenious creations unfold but a fraction of Her inner power. The devotion She puts into bettering the world through love is simply amazing. "She is another Mother Teresa who embraces and helps everyone regardless of race or religion," exclaimed one of the attendees. Those who attended the lecture took with them Master's lecture tapes, CDs, books, and/or entertainment videos. Also, they received sample booklets and magazines to further learn about Supreme Master Ching Hai's teachings.

The lecture ended with a gift from Mr. Robert Sahakian, director of the Komitas House of Chamber Music, which surprised Supreme Master Ching Hai and delighted the audience members. From the beginning, Mr. Sahakian had shown great dedication and pride in helping to organize the lecture event for Master. He worked continuously without rest until the day of the lecture. He stated that he would like to do something special and memorable for Master during Her visit to Armenia, especially at his music hall. And so, Mr. Sahakian made arrangements for the famous Armenian opera singer, Ms. Vardue Khachatrian, a recipient of the International Music Award, to sing two songs, "Ocean of Love" and "Suma Ching Hai," in dedication to Supreme Master Ching Hai after the lecture.

Mr. Sahakian particularly chose the song "Ocean of Love" with lyrics and music by Master, because he believed it beautifully portrays Her love for humankind. Accompanied by Svetlana Avetisyan on the hall's grand organ, Ms. Khachatrian's voice, without microphones, soared high, and Supreme Master Ching Hai's lyrics resonated throughout the hall. Receiving thunderous applause, Ms. Khachatrian went on to sing "SUMA CHING HAI" in her operatic style. (This song was written by the famous Au Lacese composer Andy Q. Le, and specially dedicated to Supreme Master Ching Hai at the benefit concert "A Journey Through Aesthetic Realms" held on December 27, 1997 in Washington D.C).

Mr. Sahakian ended the lecture with another thank you gift to Master, a precious national stone clock as a token of appreciation for Her visit to his country. The gift was presented to Master by famous television reporter, Mr. Sarkis Nadjarian. Touched by the dedication and Mr. Sahakian's sincerity, Master spontaneously contributed US$30,000 to the hall.

Not expecting such a gift, Mr. Sahakian was very moved. He profoundly thanked Master for Her generosity and kindness, stating that the money would go toward renovating the music hall for the enhancement of future performances. This had always been his wish, but he had never had the financial budget to do so. Fortunately, his sincerity and kindness had touched the "Most High," and he was rewarded. One of his colleagues expressed to him afterwards, "God has been touched by your sincerity and dedication! That's why Hes sent you the money through Supreme Master Ching Hai. Hes finally answered your prayers!" All of the staff members at the music hall were very touched and grateful to Master.

Humanitarian Trip

After the lecture, Supreme Master Ching Hai was led to the Tzitsernakaberd Memorial. After a half-mile walk to the center of the monument, Master took a moment of silence to pray. She placed a large floral bouquet near the Memorial's eternal flame and was then led into the Tzitsernakaberd museum for a tour by its director, Mr. Lavrenty Barseghyan, and Ms. Astghik Yedigarian, the museum guide. At the end of the tour, Supreme Master Ching Hai placed a cash contribution of more than US$3,000 in the museum's contribution box and signed the guest book with words of goodwill. Supreme Master Ching Hai then continued Her journey with a two hour drive on a bumpy, winding road to Gjumry (Leninakan), one of the Armenian cities devastated by the 1988 earthquake in which 25,000 lives were lost. Mayor Michael Vardanyan and Governor Shirak S. Petrossyan of Gjumry were there to greet Master as She arrived, followed by a police car, the lecture organizers, the press, security personnel, and a technical crew. More Armenian children dressed in traditional outfits offered bread and flowers to Master to show respect to their esteemed guest. In the meeting room, Mayor Vardanyan offered Master an oil painting entitled "The Winter in Gjumry" by the well-known painter Shant Sarkisian. Master then presented them with a 24K gold lighter and a surprise contribution of US$100,000 to the city.

Overwhelmed by the generous contribution, Mayor Vardanyan and Governor Petrossyan repeatedly thanked Master for Her kindness and benevolence to the citizens of Gjumry, who have suffered for the last ten years due to the tragic 1988 disaster. They asked Her for permission to use the money to restore the city and build a children's school. Master replied to the Mayor and Governor that they should use the contribution for whatever they felt was necessary and best for the city. She said that it was God's money and that She is only a tool of God - the more She gives out, the more God gives back to Her. Master also gave them an additional US$10,000 in cash. However, Mayor Vardanyan and Governor Petrossyan asked for Master's permission to divide the amount and give US$5,000 to the Orphanage Home of Gjumry and the other US$5,000 to the Elderly Home and Internet of Gjumry.

Mayor Vardanyan and Governor Petrossyan then accompanied Master to the orphanage and elderly homes, where members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association awaited to distribute the gifts that they had arranged, including clothing, toiletries, blankets, candies and crackers. Master personally handed a gift to each and every resident and embraced them with a hug. She sat down and played with little babies in their playpens and children near miniature desks. The director of the orphanage, Ms. Ruzanna Avakyan, also presented Master with a painting as a token of love.

Afterwards, the Mayor and Governor escorted Master to "Amenaprkich," which means "Most Saved Church" in Armenian. The church is in the process of being rebuilt after the destruction caused by the 1988 earthquake, and it is hoped that the reconstruction will be completed by the year 2001 for the 1700th anniversary of Christianity in Armenia.

At the Elderly Home and Internet, the director, Ms. Olya Mkrtchyan, had prepared a piece of artwork handmade by the residents to present to Master. When Master arrived, the children of the Shirak region sang several songs for Her. There, She made another contribution of US$10,000 and personally distributed gifts to the Elderly Home residents. Before She left, Master requested that the director take care of these elderly people for Her. She said, "They are my parents, and God will not forget them in heaven."

Master then continued on another two-hour drive to Vanadzor (Kirovakan), the next earthquake ravaged city that still has not recovered from the tragic 1988 disaster. The children at the Orphanage Home in Vanadzor were anxiously awaiting Master, and upon Her arrival, they delightfully performed traditional songs and dances for Her. After their performance, they presented Master with a framed cross-stitched artwork that they had made by hand. Master thanked and hugged each one of them for their beautiful performance and gave everyone a gift bag. In addition to the gifts, She contributed US$10,000 to the orphanage. The director of the orphanage, Mr. Ashik Harutyunyan, expressed his deepest gratitude for all Her love.

Next, on Her charitable path, Master went to visit the home for the elderly, Aznavour Pour L'Armenie, where She played a game of bingo and won! She gave each resident a gift bag and comforted them with Her gentle words. With Her boundless generosity, She also contributed US$10,000 to the home. Not expecting such a large contribution, the director of the home, Ms. Ruzanna Azetisyan, was astounded. She thanked Master sincerely and said that the money would be used to buy food for the elderly.

The Deputy Mayor, Mr. Noric Sardanyan of Vanadzor, had traveled with Master to the orphanage and the elderly home. Witnessing the benevolence that Master had shown to his people, Mr. Sardanyan presented Her with a beautiful painting of the ocean by one of the famous painters of Vanadzor. He then invited Master and everyone in the crew to join him for a vegetarian dinner at a local restaurant.

During the dinner, Mr. Sardanyan witnessed even more of Master's benevolent deeds. She took meticulous care of everyone, going from one end of the table to the other to see whether everyone had enough food. In addition, She made Lavash (traditional Armenian flat bread) with mushrooms and vegetables rolled up like spring rolls for Her bodyguards, video crew, chauffeurs and the police. Mr. Sardanyan clearly saw that Master's actions speak louder than words. Her actions touched him very much.

The day ended with many smiles and deep satisfaction, especially for the people of the Komitas House of Chamber Music, and the citizens of Gjumry and Vanadzor who gave thanks to God for answering their prayers through a truly kindhearted and gentle woman.

Interview

At 9:30 am on May 16, 1999, similar to the previous day, a police car escorted Master along with Her bodyguards and the organizers, Ms. Sarkisian and the Sharm General Director, Mr. Ruben Jaghinyan, to the National Armenian TV station for a live interview on "Barev," a popular TV show televised throughout the world. Reporter Anahit Mouradyan warmly received Master with a bouquet of red roses. Ms. Mouradyan highly respected Master for Her thoughtful and caring gestures to the Armenian people, which she had personally witnessed the previous day.

During the live interview, Ms. Mouradyan shared with viewers the humanitarian trip that Supreme Master Ching Hai had taken the previous day and the contributions that She had made to Armenian charitable foundations. Ms. Mouradyan also aired footage on National TV of the places that Master had visited and helped, as well as the video, "Walk the Way of Love: An introduction to Supreme Master Ching Hai." Among the discussion topics were Master's philosophy of sharing with others, what it means to be a truly kind person, and having faith in God. The live broadcast interview delivered the truth and beauty of Master to many Armenians, not only in Armenia, but also around the world, as the station airs on international channels. Later in the day, Ms. Mouradyan shared with Master that many local Armenians had called into the TV station after the interview to inquire more about Supreme Master Ching Hai's philosophy and to express their desire to meet Her. Master responded, "I thank them from my heart and may God bless them"

Orphanage in Yerevan


After the live TV broadcast, Master was escorted to the Children's House of Yerevan, where the resident orphans range from one to six years of age. Not only are they without parents, but they also suffer from cancer and other terminal illnesses. Master brought for these adorable children a giant teddy bear along with many other toys. The atmosphere of love and innocence could be felt as Master caressed each child and personally opened the gifts for them. Furthermore, Supreme Master Ching Hai contributed US$10,000 to the orphanage. The director of the Orphanage thanked Master continuously for Her generosity toward the children.

Sightseeing in Yerevan

Wishing for Master to have a little rest, Ms. Sarkisian and Mr. Jaghinyan took Her on a short sightseeing trip. They drove Her to the Viewing Square in Victory Park high above the city of Yerevan, where a panoramic view of Mount Ararat can be enjoyed. Master mentioned that this holy mountain reminded Her of the Himalayas. While they were having a pleasant conversation, Mr. Jaghinyan noticed the hot sun shining on Master. He immediately went to purchase an umbrella to shade Her from the sun's rays. His thoughtfulness was further shown by the fact that he especially chose an umbrella that matched Her red floral outfit. After relaxing with some refreshments, they escorted Master back to the city.

In Yerevan, Mr. Jaghinyan decided to show Master the Vernisage, an open-air market and popular tourist attraction. All sorts of interesting items were sold there, such as antiques, paintings, and handmade jewelry. Master enjoyed conversing with the Armenian people there and had a chance to examine many unique objects. She bought many souvenirs to serve as a remembrance of Her Armenian visit.

During all this time, Ms. Sarkisian, Mr. Jaghinyan and the Sharm assistant director, Mr. Karen Ghazaryan as well as the bodyguards and media crew were able to relax and enjoy a bit of leisure time with Master. They had a chance to joke and converse freely with Her. Her bodyguards came to love Her very much. They asked Her to autograph the "One World... Of Peace Through Music" special edition of News Magazine #100 as a souvenir. Supreme Master Ching Hai, being shy by nature, was embarrassed. She told them that She was not a movie star. However, in the hearts of Her newfound friends, She was more than just a celebrity - She was everything! Indeed, one of them gave Her an Armenian martial arts club T-shirt while Mr. Karen Ghazaryan gave Her several CDs of a famous opera singer along with other souvenir gifts as a token of their love and appreciation.

Although the sightseeing trip was only a thirty-minute break, it was a very sweet and memorable time.

Visit with the Mayor of Yerevan


At 1:00 p.m., Master arrived at the office of the Mayor of Yerevan, Mr. Suren Abrahamyan, who greeted Her genially with flowers. To further show Her his appreciation, he presented Her with a certificate and a silver medal for Her charitable activities. Upon seeing Master, Mr. Abrahamyan stated that he received very gentle and pleasant energy from Her. Master replied that She also felt that he was a very kind and ethical person.

They conversed with each other as if they were long time friends. Master joked affably with him that he should be the next president of Armenia, and said that the people would greatly benefit if they had him as their president. He modestly replied that he did not desire to be in that high post. He added that he was very content to be in the position he was in, and that the only thing he asked from God was to have health and wisdom, so as to better serve his people. In response, Master advised him, "It's very simple, just stop smoking cigarettes, then you'll be okay. Don't bother the "guy" up there for such a small matter!"

Everyone present, including the Mayor and Master, all laughed heartily in agreement. Immediately, Mayor Abrahamyan put out his cigarette and continued the conversation with Master. Later Mr. Ghazaryan informed Master of the circumstances in Yerevan, where many homes, especially children's homes, needed to be repaired and rebuilt. Upon hearing of this situation, Master asked Mayor Abrahamyan how much he would need to carry out these projects. He replied that whatever donation She made, even the smallest amount, would make him very happy. He expressed that meeting Her was the greatest gift for him

Touched by his modesty, Master gave him a lighter made of 24K gold and a contribution of US$30,000 for the city. He thanked Master wholeheartedly and said that the contribution would be used for many worthwhile projects, one of which would be to build homes for children. [The cost of living in Armenia is extremely modest. That's why even such a small amount can work "miracles".] Before She left his office, Mayor Abrahamyan asked Master for a hug. They both embraced in God's love, and had their pictures taken together. The Mayor said that he was very glad, and indeed, it had been an honor for him to meet Master.

After departing from the Mayor's office, Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited to visit Holy Etchmiadzin, the first and most famous Armenian Apostolic Church. When they arrived there, like many other visitors to the church who follow the Armenian tradition, Master purchased a dozen yellow candles, anchored them in the sand and silently prayed. She then stood in front of a mosaic of Jesus' crucifixion and continued Her silent prayers. Looking at Jesus Christ and Mother Mary brought back to Her sad memories of the sacrifice that these great Masters and Saints had made for humankind, and this brought tears to Her eyes. From there, Father Aghvan Gasparyan came out to greet Master and toured with Her around the ancient church museum where all the treasures of the Armenian churches were preserved. He personally escorted Master down to the basement where all the secret sacred items were kept. He allowed no one else to join him except Master and Congresswoman Sarkisian.

All the media people and bodyguards patiently waited upstairs. When Father Gasparyan escorted Master back up to the main level, streams of tears were still on Her cheeks. She felt the pain and suffering that Jesus had endured for humankind. After conversing with the Father, Master made a contribution of US$20,000 to the church to maintain its hall. Speechless at Her generosity, Father Gasparyan welcomed Master back to Armenia any time as his "Supreme" guest. He repeatedly said that he hoped, under God's will, to receive Master again in the very near future.

Master also agreed with him that it is truly up to God's will. A member of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association gave Father Gasparyan a gift bag containing Master's poetry and musical CDs, which in turn inspired Master to sing one of Her songs, "Love Me," especially for Father Gasparyan. While Master and Father Gasparyan were parting, two small children from the crowd of visitors shyly came up to offer Master bouquets of flowers.

On the way out, Master passed by a water fountain where Mr. Jaghinyan claimed that the water is very pure and sweet. He took a sip of it, exclaimed over its freshness, and asked Master to try the water also. However, the water from the fountain suddenly sprang high into the sky after She took a sip. Everyone was in awe, wondering what had happened. Mr. Jaghinyan asked Master, "You have the power, why don't you make the water go lower?" Master smiled. Looking at the water, She held out Her hand and gestured for it to go lower. As Her hand dropped lower, the water level simultaneously declined. Everyone was in awe, wondering whether or not it was a coincidence. Master just smiled.

Press Conference and Gala

At 7:00 p.m. in the Hotel Armenia, an exhibition of Supreme Master Ching Hai's paintings, dress designs and artwork was displayed for all the guests and reporters to enjoy. A press conference was held so that the media could interview Supreme Master Ching Hai. Reporters from Armenia's major newspapers and television stations attended, including those from National TV, Ayg TV, Aysor (a weekly), Urartu (a weekly), Iskra (a newspaper), What, When Where (a weekly), New Time (a weekly), Mayr Hyrenik (a television station), Hobby (a monthly), Ayo (a weekly), and Sensation (a weekly). They were very respectful and asked Master many spiritual questions. After all the reporters' questions were satisfied by Master, She invited all of them to attend the upcoming gala celebration, "An Evening of Love through Music and Art".

During the press conference the guests for the gala began to arrive. The guest list included dignitaries from both Armenia and from foreign countries, such as the Armenian Minister of Privatization, Pavel Khahakhchian, the Ambassador from Syria, Radwan Loufti, and the Armenian Asssembly representative in America, Ms. Arpe Vardanian. Well-known artists such as Nune Asadryan, the Deputy from the Union of Composers in Armenia, and Mr. Zaven Sarkisian from Paradjanon Museum Armenia, and many other famous people from Armenia also attended. This formal dinner gala was organized by Congresswoman Nadezdha Sarkisian, the president of the Hayer Cultural Foundation, with the assistance of the Sharm Company. Both organizations wanted to show their appreciation and gratitude to Master for Her visit to Armenia. The Sharm firm and Hayer Cultural Foundation brought in the top orchestral musicians, opera singers and other performers in Armenia for the gala.

The organizers had prepared for delicious vegetarian meals with non-alcoholic beer to be served, a novelty to many of the guests attending. They thoroughly enjoyed the dinner as well as the magnificent entertainment program, which included famous opera singers Eduard Zakharian and Lusine Markosian, the Taragan singing group, the Do Re Mi group, a jazz band, a children's singing group and an orchestra comprised of the best musicians in Armenia. Looking truly beautiful, the special guest of honor for the evening, Supreme Master Ching Hai, entered the gala and the party paused to applaud Her entrance. She went to the press tables to personally serve the reporters and introduce them to the vegetarian food. As Anahit Hovhannisyan later said in her Urartu article, "She (Supreme Master Ching Hai) not only shared the food, but Her love as well."

Last but not least, one of the opera singers, Lusine Markosian, gave Master a pleasant surprise. She dedicated to Master the song "Love Me," with music and lyrics by Master Herself, at the close of the program. Master modestly said that her operatic voice made the song even more priceless. Congresswoman Nadezhda with the director of the Sharm Company, Mr. Ruben Jaghinyan, invited Master onto the stage to thank Her for all Her love, support, kindness and generosity, and above all, the priceless "Method" that She had offered to the people.

While Master was on stage, the Minister of Privatization, Mr. Pavel Khahakhchian came up and presented Her a vase made of Armenia's precious national stone, with an image of Her face sculpted in gold. It had been created by one of the most famous sculptors in Armenia, David Bedjanian. On behalf of Armenia, Mr. Pavel Khahakhchian thanked Master for all Her noble work on behalf of the Armenian people with the following inscription on the vase, "Much gratitude to Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her charity to Armenia." Master then contributed US$20,000 to the Hayer Cultural Foundation for its admirable work in helping children develop their musical talents. With the greatest honor, the president of the children's foundation, Ms. Nadezdha Sarkisian, stepped forward to accept the generous gift.

Meeting with Initiates

Although the gala ended at 11:00 p. m., the party with Master and the initiates did not end. Without minding Her tiredness, Master made the time to meet with initiates. She patiently and lovingly addressed each and every new initiate's questions and concerns.

The Ocean of Love


Armenians are people who know how to truly appreciate beauty, and to those who show them beauty in the arts, in others and in themselves, they are forever grateful. Supreme Master Ching Hai left a deep and long lasting impression in the hearts of the Armenian people for the boundless love and teachings She shared with them. She reminded each and every one to be connected with God within, to learn how to live a noble and virtuous life. Her generosity is truly inspiring to the people of this country. Everyone, from the director of the music hall to the translators to the organizers, said that the whole country is now talking about this extraordinary woman who is the first person to set foot in Armenia and travel throughout the country on such a charitable journey, a mission which no one has been able to accomplish before. She is indeed the "Ocean of Love".

Children on the streets came up to Master to give Her flowers. People are filled with admiration and adoration for this petite woman and are calling Her the second Mother Teresa in the world. Government-owned newspapers such as Republic of Armenia Hayastan and Hayastani Hanrapetuyun, and independent ones such as the Armenian Business Weekly, as well as television stations have reported numerous times about Master's visit to Armenia and humanitarian trip throughout the nation. In two days, Master toured the whole country and touched the hearts of all of Armenia's citizens, spreading Her love and more than US$250,000 to them and imparting the invaluable Quan Yin Method. Her love and compassion will forever remain in Armenia.

As Supreme Master Ching Hai departed from the small country of Armenia, sweet rain from the heavens began to fall again, just like on the day She arrived, leaving a trace of the new life that Master brought to Armenia and its gentle people.
