(Are You going to Russia?) Yes, I’m invited and they’re going to help me plan something about it. (And who has invited You?) One of our friends here, for example. Tell her about it. (She is invited from the mayor’s office in Moscow.) He knows better. (Yes. He said that You are invited by the mayor of Moscow, Mr. Luzhkov.) Yes, that’s right. (So, what are You going to do in Russia?) They have requested me to go there and visit your country. First of all, because it’s a great country, and second, maybe to probably answer some spiritual questions from your people. (What do You mean by spiritual?) Well, he knows better. He asked me.
(Аctually, Supreme Master [Ching Hai] helps people, the poor people and the homeless. She supports both financially, and directly teaches that one must live peacefully, with love, no smoking, no drinking. So, that’s Her motto, in that sense. And so, She wants to convey that the world is One, and people are One, and that – “Let’s be like brothers and sisters,” that is Her motto. If there are any questions for Her, please go ahead.) (Thank you. Thank you very much, I’ll ask Her now: “Is this some kind of religious group or not?”) (No.)
(Is it some kind of religious group, or it’s just spiritual?) I don’t know really how you call it. Names are just man-made. We actually go inside and contact GOD. (The soul?) The Kingdom of GOD and the soul within us, very simple. And no matter what kind of religion we follow… in our group, we have all kinds of religious followers like Catholic, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, it doesn’t matter to us. As long as we’ve found the Peace inside and we’ve found the Kingdom of GOD, and we live peacefully with all our brothers and sisters, and that’s all that is important. We also have to help our brothers and sisters too.
(Thank You very much. Are You going to visit some foster houses or... for the homeless, homes for children who have been left without parents.) Orphanages? (Orphanages. Are You going to visit them too?) Yes, yes, ma’am. Yes. They are inviting me to do that too. And of course, if I have the opportunity, it would be my privilege. And if we can help in any way, we will try our best – spiritually, as well as materially. Yes. We do both. (I’m going to say thank You for Your big heart.) Thank you, too. And may GOD bless you.
(Welcome to Russia. Russia needs people like You right now.) GOD bless you. GOD bless your country. (Thank You.) (Thank you very much.) (Thank You.) (When are You going to be in Moscow?) It’s GOD’s Will, but as soon as you are ready, I’m ready. (OK. Thank You.) (Then She will really visit.) (Thank You very much.) GOD bless you. These guys, they are in love with me. Look at him. (Yes.) Cheese! (Click it over there.) He’s also in love with me. (These guys are doing a great job.) Love you! (Goodnight.) (Goodnight.)
(You know that was a very good interview for Russian Television. It was very good.) I thought I was very shy to speak to people. (No, no, no. It was beautiful. And I said a couple of important things too.) What did you say? (I said very important things too.) Like what? (Like I said, “Supreme Master, She’s travelling all over the world) Oh yeah? (and giving peace to people, love, happiness.) Alright. (Sharing Her Method.)
(Bye!) (Adios!) Adios! GOD bless you. (Bye!) (Bye!) (We love You.) (I hope to see You again.) Yes, yes. I have to go. “Arrivederci (Goodbye until we meet again).” OK, honey, bye! See you. Ciao. Take care. GOD bless. Bye.
The following year, on Sunday, March 26th, 2000, Hollywood’s most celebrated annual event, the 72nd Academy Awards, returned to the same grand venue, The Shrine Auditorium, to award the Oscars to the best of the film industry. During this exciting evening, “Night of 100 Stars” Oscar gala was once again taking place at the exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel. Close to 200 Hollywood stars attended this Oscar gala in its tribute to the Academy Awards. However, Supreme Master Ching Hai was busy with Her world lecture tour and sent Her best regards to Her friends. Many of the superstars expressed their best wishes to Supreme Master Ching Hai.
Hi, this is Ken Huthmaker. I don’t know if you remember me, Supreme Master Ching Hai, but I met You last year and I understand You’re on a tour this year and I want to wish You very much success and happiness and a very, very safe trip and I hope we see You next year.
Supreme Master [Ching Hai], we’re doing it without You, this party. So, we hoped You’d be here, but unfortunately, we understand that probably Your timing, it’s so busy You cannot join us this evening. We always wish You health, be happy, and always help people like You do. I wish You luck in Your lecture tours, and I hope people are going to understand Your meaning and going to understand Your message, which is very important to everybody. And thank You for Armenia, which is very helpful for Armenian people. I hope I see You soon.
Hi, Supreme Master [Ching Hai]. I wish You could be with us this year. I remember last year when we were all together, and we had a great time. I wish You success and good luck. Hope to see You one day again.
Good evening, Supreme Master Ching Hai. I’m sorry You couldn’t be here this year, but I wish You the very best on Your lecture tour. And thank You.
Supreme Master Ching Hai, hi! To You!
And my greetings to You, Supreme Master Ching Hai. I wish You could be here.
Hallo, Supreme Master Ching Hai. It is so lovely to think of You, and I wish that You were here. I enjoyed meeting You so much last year. And I know that Your joy and Your beauty and Your wonder that You spread to everyone does the world so much good. GOD bless You always. I love You. Good night!
Wherever You are, I want You to have the best of everything, and You should be back here in California because the weather is great and California misses You, so... Ciao!
We missed seeing You a lot from last year. And You are too gorgeous. Girls are here, and we’re having a wonderful time, and we hope to see You soon again.
That’s what it was that I saw. Well, I saw Her talking, it’s on a channel I don’t usually watch. I was switching channels, and that was pretty neat. Every Saturday. I can record it and watch it when I come home because I work from eight to… for “Entertainment & Sports Today” television show.
Hallo to Supreme Master [Ching Hai]. We hope that You’re well and that You live a thousand years spreading Your good words. Sorry You’re not here this year because we had a grand time. Almost 200 stars. But Your disciples are here, and they’re doing a terrific job. They’re making sure that Your word is spread here at the “Night of 100 Stars” for The Film Foundation. Hopefully, You’ll be with us next year. We look forward to seeing You.
As we fondly reminisce these warm memories of the Hollywood stars and their meetings with Supreme Master Ching Hai, we witness the lasting impression Supreme Master Ching Hai brings to the lives of these luminaries. Her unconditional Love and Wisdom are a welcome comfort to them.
Without the artistry of these entertainers, our lives would not be as interesting. They bring to us a world of joy and imagination. And in Supreme Master Ching Hai, through Her inner peace and happiness, these gifted individuals find a sense of spiritual solace.
As written by the great playwright William Shakespeare: “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” And it is truly so. All stars will shine and dim through time. Only the Light of the Enlightened Masters will last to illuminate this Earth. When the curtains close and it is time for us to return to our original Home amongst the stars in Heaven, we will have a Guide to lead the way. A true Friend whose Light will always shine.
