Following The Dogs in My Life,
Supreme Master Ching Hai wrote another book, The Birds in
My Life, for the twenty-three beloved winged members of
Her household. In this beautifully illustrated book, each feathered
creature is described in a biography lovingly composed by Master,
together with pictures from the bird's daily life and captions
with “bird talk.”
Each of these beautiful birds
comes from a different background and has an interesting and
unique personality. Some of their stories will move you into
tears, while others may make you smile. Their cute demeanors
have brought much joy and laughter to Master. Hidden inside
these tiny creatures are highly developed and loving souls.
Master said that She has often been touched by the expression
and actions of the birds, and even inspired by them. She hopes
that all of us will understand other living beings such as birds,
and love and respect them as equals.
Through this book, you will understand
how deeply our animal friends can feel and how intelligent they
can be. They are absolutely loyal to partners, friends and human care takers.
They can be very sensitive and tender in expressing their love,
and when they lose a loved one, they suffer the same sadness
as humans do. That's why Master Ching Hai says, “If humans
could love each other that much, peace and happiness would be
ours forever.”
