Dear Supreme Master Ching Hai,

There are many reasons I would like to send you my thanks.

I believe that you are a wonderful person who brings good to the world in many forms. Your desire for peace, your assistance in helping those affected by natural disasters, your love for animals, your taking care of them with generous donations, your care for those with AIDS and helping to fund research for the discovery of a cure—these are some of the reasons I want to extend my thanks to you. For all of these things, I am grateful to you and your organization.

Finally, I want to thank you for bringing a truly warm, sincere, kind and heartfelt community into my life. I have been an artist in the entertainment world for several decades. I have been involved in many genres from opera to music videos. The members of Supreme Master TV, as well as many members of your organization whom I met, are the nicest group of people with whom I have ever had the opportunity to collaborate creatively. There was a common bond among us, a common hope that what we created in honor of you, would fill the audience with a good feeling and that they would take this feeling out of the theater and into the world.

It has been a marvelous experience for me to create with your Association members who worked on bringing Loving the Silent Tears to life. I hope you get to see what was created and know how much love we sent into the world.

I also hope we all get to create together again. The world can use more artistic experiences like Loving the Silent Tears.
