The thank you letters from the refugee camps.
The refugees sent letters of thanks to the Supreme Master Ching Hai
for Her concerns. The refugees told the groups visiting the camp
that the support shown by the representatives of the Supreme Master
Ching Hai and those from over twenty countries by means of peaceful
sit-in demonstration had made them feel much better. As a result,
they would not take drastic measures for the time being.
The Palawan Refugees Received Gifts Of Love From Master
By Fellow Initiate Tran In Palawan, The Philippines (Originally in
Au Lac Language)
Due to the difficult situation in the refugee camp, Master
Herself could not hand out gift to each refugee. So, I myself, as
a disciple accompanied along with other fellow initiates bringing
candies and sweets which Master wanted to give them. Everybody in
the camp was so happy, they jumped up and down with joy upon
receiving these gifts of love from Master.
Since Her short visit at the gate last time, the refugees have
felt more secure and more patient, they even stopped thinking about
committing suicide. They seem to have found new lives now because
all their worries and despairs have gone. Master has taken care of
them, given them hope and faith for the future. Whatever may
happen to them, in their life, they have entrusted it to Master.
Since that time more people have become vegetarians. Also, the
atmosphere in the camp has more peaceful and not as heavy any more.
Thanks to Master for Her blessings and Her love the refugees' lives
have been turned around. Master has brought happiness and hope to
more than 3,000 hearts in the camp.
As a messenger following Master in Her mission, I have seen
all these miraculous changes. I was so moved by Her love and Her
almighty power. Now all the refugees are very happy, they have
been revived after Master's visit. These are Master's true gifts
to all of them, young and old. Master has given them hope,
happiness and vitality so that they can go on with their lives in
the camp, awaiting a brightened future.
Thank You Letter From Refugees
Thank You Letter From Refugees
Mother, Thank You For Your Love
By Mr. Thang from Hong Kong Refugee Camp (Originally in Au Lac Language)
Dear Mother,
I know that You know all the thinkings in my heart. But Mother! Please let me write a few sentences to satisfy the human wishes of a child who only know You recently.
Dear Mother,
I arrived at Your land, whatever I wished for, hoped for
miraculously eventually came true. I'm so surprised and happy.
When You asked, I answered awkwardly, but You did not mind,
You smiled tenderly.
You also understand my problems, You silently solve it.
I feel very light. My jealousy, hatred washed away after a
bath.
Dear Mother,
I was in the army, air force, together with my friends, we
protected the land, so that every president, general, commander,
chief, by plane or by boat went away, left us silently in prison,
reeducation camps. Our youth is left with nothing but hatred and
sufferings, because of freedom, we forgot even our lives in
exchange of the two words "boat people" in detention centers
surrounded by barbed wires, lived like animals.
All the presidents, the political leaders, do they remember
those Au Lac people who had lost their right to live in a corner?
I have sacrificed my youth to for my ideal of freedom. I feel
very sad and uneasy. Until now that I found You, I feel very light
and peaceful inside, the past doesn't haunt me anymore.
I know at this moment, You are still sitting there worried
about every one of Your millions for children, from Africa to
America. The sufferings of the children in boat people detention
center make You unrest.
You are the Mother of all. You bear all the sorrows and
worries. I know that. I don't know when I could be like other
sister and brother to be a tool for You to use.
I think that when I can be a tool for You, it's a real honour,
it's when I can truly see the goodness of life.
I wish You peace and good health.
Your child

The Unique Action Of Rescuing
(Originally in Au Lac Language)
Dear Master,
We, all Au Lac refugees being detained at Tai A Chau Detention
Center in Hong Kong, together bow our heads to show our gratitude,
respect, toward You, and we always remember deeply in our heart,
Your compassion together with Your disciples from many countries,
who recently came to Hong Kong to give us Your great blessings, and
to protest against the Hong Kong government and the world forcing
repatriation the Au Lac refugees.
Your action of rescuing the refugees was so noble and
realistic that we thought it was only a hope or in a dream. We, who
are in danger, are rescued by a living Master, a Messenger from God
who came to make a miracle come true. With Your noble action, You
had distributed, gathered thousands of people from many other
countries, to Hong Kong, the place in great calamity, to call for
help, to rescue and share the miseries and sufferings of the Au Lac
refugees who are at the border of death, who used the last breath
to call out for help. The miracle You gave us recently had shocked
those who are inhumane. This is noble deed full of compassion from
Master that we have not seen in the history of mankind.
Your Love Hug Everyone
(Originally in Au Lac Language)
Dear Master,
We are very touched by Your boundless universal love, whenever we look at Your picture in television, in newspapers, seeing You warmly loving, hugging everyone, all of a sudden, we cried, shaken in the love of Master -- God is love, love is God. What an honour and a joy for us if we can live in Your love and Your infinite miraculous light, even though presently our lives are absolutely miserable, full of sufferings; although life is a vicissitudes, but with Your help and guide, we believe we would safely overcome it. Dear Master. through Your boundless love, we realized the truth of life, we hope You would accept us so that we could learn the Quan Yin Method with a living Master, so that we could elevate our spirit and body in order to return to the origin. Dear Master. All of our thoughts, hearts and hopes are packed in this letter, which we would like to present to You, hoping You would send us Your blessings. We earnestly wait for Your reply. Lastly, we sincerely would like to thank You and to wish You good health.
Respectfully Yours
