On October 25th, 1993 Supreme Master Ching Hai received the honored World Peace Award from the U.S. Government in Hawaii, and that day was designated to be the "Ching Hai Day". The government in Hawaii especially erected a bronze bust of Supreme Master Ching Hai in Honolulu, to be venerated by people, for Her contributions to world peace and to the relief of people in suffering.

In order to celebrate the 4th Anniversary of Ching Hai Day, an International 4-Day Retreat was held in Thailand to pray for "love, peace and harmony on Earth, within all of us and throughout the universe". The many congratulatory faxes from Centers around the world offering best wishes for the special occasion also added much warmth to the celebration. The following are only a few that were chosen to be printed.

To Our Incredibly Beautiful Master,

We, the disciples in New Jersey, USA, would like to extend to You our best wishes on this festive day. Today is a day set aside to commemorate You and Your charitable deeds both in this physical world and the world beyond. But as far as we are concerned, every day should be Ching Hai Day.

There is not a day that goes by where we do not count our blessings and consider ourselves extremely fortunate for having such a loving and merciful Master as Yourself. We pray to God that every task and every project You embark on will go smoothly and successfully. We also pray to the Almighty that You will forever remain healthy, young and gorgeous in order to continue spreading the Truth, beauty and virtue to the entire universe for many, many years to come!

Love,

Your Proud Children
