Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2007

To be able to share a home with someone who loves you unconditionally and faithfully, it is one of the greatest joys in life. In the more recent years, some blessed and beautiful beings have found such a home through the love of a gentle poet and a living spiritual teacher. Supreme Master Ching Hai, or Mom as she is known to 10 very special dogs and other animals, has given them a loving home, and the greatest delight and blessing that any being could ever experience: to be in the grace and presence of Love incarnated.

In the newly released The Dogs in My Life (Volumes 1 & 2), the first publication lovingly written and personally designed by Supreme Master Ching Hai, readers will re-discover the simplicity of love and rejoice in the sincerity of friendship, as exhibited by the 10 canine friends, with names like Benny, Lucky, Happy, Goody, and Hermit. Learn about the Scholar, Fruity, Princissa, Chip Ahoy, the Shadow Hunter, and others; listen to their engaging tales. They all have diverse life stories and distinctive personalities, yet their devotion for their human pet is unequivocal, and their humor, intelligence and many other noble qualities are truly from the same source. Read The Dogs in My Life, and fall in love with some the most special beings on Earth.

I hope to let the readers enjoy some glimpse of the beautiful ways that dogs walk the Earth with us, and through them, understand more about other beings. ~ Supreme Master Ching Hai

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Supreme Master Ching Hai once again offers an example of behavior to which we should all aspire. Supreme Master has rescued the stray dogs she has encountered and rekindled their trust in the human race through her unconditional love and her limitless kindness. How you treat animals determines the direction of this world. If we are to evolve, we must treat voiceless, helpless animals with dignity, love and kindness. Oh, if only we could have a million Supreme Masters to rescue and love all the dogs that abound! Instead, we can only hope that people around the world listen to Supreme Master's wisdom and advice. --Jane Velez-Mitchell, Vegan Emmy-winning news journalist

The Supreme Master Ching Hai has kindly told us that animals have feelings as we humans do. She has set a living example for us to understand that they are beings just like us with different clothes. Even though, theirs are much more beautiful and colorful than humans'. They have more love and a larger capacity to forgive so that, despite how they are treated, they still can keep living with us. Their love is so boundless that most of the time we get surprised by their purity and simplicity. --Gustavo Ajax, Government Employee, Mexico

The hidden divine message in this book will flow from heart to heart and inspire human beings to stop killing other beings. --Kamlung Cheng, concert violinist, concert master of Amsterdam symphony orchestra

About the Author

The Supreme Master Ching Hai was born in Central Au Lac (Vietnam). At the age of eighteen, Master Ching Hai moved to England to study, and then later to France and then Germany, where She worked for the Red Cross and married a German physician. After two years of happy marriage, with Her husband's blessings, She left Her marriage in pursuit of enlightenment, thus fulfilling an ideal that had been with Her since Her childhood. This began a time of arduous pilgrimages to many different countries that ended only when She met a perfect living Master in the Himalayas.

Master Ching Hai received the divine transmission of the inner Light and Sound, which She later called the Quan Yin Method. After a period of diligent practice, She attained Perfect Enlightenment.

To satisfy the longing of sincere Truth seekers, the Supreme Master Ching Hai offers the Quan Yin Method of meditation to people of all nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds. Her message of love and peace brings spiritual liberation and hope to people throughout the world, reminding all to uphold Truth, Virtue, and Beauty in life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sparkling to treat animals as our friends, October 22, 2007

By 

Jun (Hong Kong, China) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Dogs in My Life, Vol. 2 (v. 2) (Hardcover)

I always discuss the dogs described in the book to my son. He has new insight about dogs and expand his ideas to the other animals. Before, he is so scary about big dogs that bark him. But now he is trying his best to show his love to stray dogs/ big dog and feed them with vegetarian dog foods. He is so enjoy to play with dog now. I hope if all children/ everyone can have a chance to view the book could uplift their mind of treating animals as friends.
