One world:

We had the privilege of getting the details of a concert produced by Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association to be held at the Shrine Auditorium on December 18th at 8:00 p.m. Trang Vo, a staffer of the producer, provided a very impressive cast of the show. However, the background of this humanitarian and producer showed in the past performances that in 1991 Mt. Pinatubo Volcanic eruption; 1993 Southern California fires; the Oklahoma City bombing; the 1994 Northridge earthquake, including numerous charities and causes like the American Cancer Society, the American Foundation for AIDS research, the International Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Department of Veteran Affairs, Health Education Alternative Liaison (HEAL) the Cotonou Infant's in terms of cash donation and manpower in implementing its relief capabilities.

The curtain raisers:

Supreme Master Ching Hai, the founder of this foundation is a gifted poetess.

By popular demand she has agreed to have her poems set in music by the Oscar and Emmy Award-winning composer Fred Karlin for the symphonic portrait The Peace Seeker.

 Beach Boys Family &Friends:

The Group is under the guidance of the original member singer/songwriter Alan Jardine, the lead vocalist of "Help Me Rhonda," a new exciting incarnation, of the Beach Boys, who will begin touring this fall.

Fred Karlin:

He has many film scores to his credit. But Peace Seeker was specifically written to be set around the beautiful lyrics of Supreme Master Ching Hai which reflects the inspirational message of the evening.

The foundation is composed of a diverse group of people from different professions, religious, cultural backgrounds and world regions. Through their sponsored concerts and performances they strive to make a difference in the world by acting with love and compassion. Ching Hai believes that "compassion is the key to bringing peace on earth and attaining peace a visible reality."
