Supreme Master Ching Hai’s exquisite new poetry collection, The Love of Centuries, is now available in eight languages. This warm and elegantly romantic volume of 46 verses expresses the poet’s vast heart that encompasses youthful nostalgia for Her homeland, Her love for the special ones in Her life, Her great sympathy for the vulnerable animals, and the Divine love of an enlightened Master for all God’s precious creations. Among the newly published poems are Supreme Master Ching Hai’s “Please Wake Up!” and “Please Don’t!” Also included is Her spontaneous, soul-comforting lullaby, “Good Night Baby,” as well as first-ever revealed heartfelt odes to the Sun, the Moon and the stars.

After reading this book, Mr. Karl Min Ku, former director-general of the National Central Library in Formosa (Taiwan), offered this sincere expression: “The poems in this anthology are pure and fresh, harmoniously rhymed and beautifully composed with grace and elegance . . . . In addition to the artistic and aesthetic senses that are constantly present, great compassion and love are also exhibited frequently in the poems. The more we read and appreciate the poems in this anthology, the more we appreciate the beauty and love conveyed therein, which seem to be constantly elevating the world to an ultimate state of pristine beauty, goodness and beauty . . . .”

Enhanced by Master’s most recent paintings and photography, these 46 poems will take you on different, fascinating journeys with their myriad expressions of life’s delicate emotions. We invite all poetry lovers to enjoy a stroll through the poetic, vibrant garden of

 

 

You are here! My soul’s adorned by moons and stars
The wilted heart now blossoms boundlessly.
Oh, dear universe!
Is now here
My love of centuries!
Your arrival elevates myriad worlds
Waves of joy reach even the farthest galaxy.
