Some monks just use the money of the faithful, which they earn with sweat and tears, to benefit their own physical body or comfort, or even give it to their relatives, their lovers or whatever, and hiding in such luxury. That’s not good. It’s not good for them at all, and not good for the faithful at all to see that, because they will lose faith in the teachings of the Holy Buddha and Christ.
“Media Report from Aljazeera – July 31, 2013, Reporter: The scandals and accusations of cheating have been taken to a new level, none more so than in the case of Wiraphon Sukphon, who was caught on video in a private jet, sporting designer labels, despite taking a monk’s vow of simplicity. He’s also been accused of money laundering and accumulating tens of millions of dollars in assets. There have been other cases since, each prompting investigations from within the monkhood. Some like Phra Payom Kallayano have had enough and have decided to speak out. The large grounds of his temple and monastery include a farm. He provides jobs and uses the income from the farm to run an orphanage and put money back into Buddhism. He says that’s how it’s supposed to be.
Phra Payom Kallayano: If monks misuse money, they will go to hell. You’re a monk in a monk’s role. You have no need for luxury.”
Not to talk about many other physical abuses: molesting children, women and even men in vulnerable situations where they are defenseless. That is very bad. And when it comes to something, then they blame it on others, like Trần Tâm or Ruma. He himself took the money donations by his own hands, but when somebody else found out that it was not for the benefit of everyone, then he blamed it on the poor little young monks and nuns who had just came in and know nothing. So Trần Tâm or Ruma himself can live in luxury, free to molest other believers! By the way, Trần Tâm’s name means “worldly soul” in the Aulacese (Vietnamese) language!!! How befitting.
Trần Tâm or Ruma is truly a demon disguised in human form, who uses my name to rob and to kill people, physically and spiritually. He tries hard to obstruct and stop people to know the True Teaching; to serve the devil, for his own profit!!! Hope the law helps to stop him from continuing to harm the innocents and all the websites stop all his related sites and delete all his talks and activities on the web. Praised be the Buddhas!!!
So, you can see who is good, who's bad, right away, by this kind of action. He talks so good, like he understands about karma and the Three Worlds and this world, like you cannot run away from it. But he himself, Trần Tâm, Ruma, did the opposite. He took in the money by his own hands and then blamed it on the young and poor, innocent monks and nuns who just came in because he lured them in. So, it’s very easy to judge who is who. I hope you don’t find such a monk anywhere. He’s wearing monk robes, but he’s doing all these actions, bad deeds, like robbery. It’s truly robbing in the broad daylight of the whole world. And many people still don’t understand this. They saw it, but they didn’t think about it too much. They heard it, they know it, but then they continue to stay and to follow this kind of bad path, bad example.
“Testimony by a former victim of Ruma Trần Tâm: Respected Master and dear Supreme Master Television team, It has been 32 years since I received the initiation from Master. Today, I would like to testify to Master’s words about the demon Trần Tâm. I have kept this story secret for many decades because he said, ‘The reputation of the messenger is in your hands.’ In 1996, when he returned to Âu Lạc (Vietnam) posing as a Quan Yin messenger, I participated in Master’s teaching group. At that time, I was just 20 years old. In the middle of the night, he called me into his private room and same-sex sexually assaulted me. I was mentally devastated because I thought a Master’s messenger should be a noble saint, but he committed such a dreadful mundane act. However, because of my absolute faith in Master, I acted as if nothing had happened and continued working in the teaching group for Master. And many times after that, he did the same thing to me and instructed me not to speak out. Regarding his claim that Master passed the succession to him, it was due to a phrase he took from Master’s poem “My Will” which included his name: ‘This world has nothing to offer me... (Rời cõi trần tâm...)’”
(Master Note: It was just ONE OF MY POEMS, nothing to do with him, “trần tâm” here or anywhere written small, normal not like a name, means: only the mundane, worldly realm, this world. If it’s a name, must write it in capitals [Tr… Ta…]!! I never sent him to Âu Lạc [Vietnam] to be a Quan Yin messenger; married person with kid and wife can’t have this position, only monk or nun can be thus. He is truly a FRAUD; acting like he did is illegal too!!! He never asked me about this. No one ever told me about this name with all involved mess!!)
(My Will Poem written by Supreme Master Ching Hai [vegan] in 1979, in Germany Originally in English. Translated by the editors From the poetry collection “The Lost Memories” Printed by Jiahuang Printing Company in Taiwan [Formosa]
M said: This poem was written when She was still in the world, engaged in Germany, long before she left home to search for Enlightenment. No one knew this poem before She became known as Supreme Master Ching Hai – not related at all to Her work before and after that. Least of all to a fake-for-profit like Trần Tâm!!!!! He used it to manipulate innocent, vulnerable people by his evil intention!!!)
“If I die tomorrow, All my properties become yours. You are my next of kin, No one else in the whole world! Here I write my will, My hands trembling, my heart thrilled! Mr. So and So... by this name Heir of the inheritance. Fingerprints on everything I possess, Left behind with anguished passion. Here is a list of my property: A few decent clothes, a safe empty, Poems and books, never once published, No diamond, less any jewelry! But important are my poems! Please darling, keep all of them. It’s for you that they are made, From sleepless nights and broken dreams! You can be sure then, I am happy. Leaving this world, my heart has no attaching regret (*original) This world has nothing to offer me, (*note that there is no Trần Tâm in the original English poem version) Since the day you left; Life, crawling toward death valley. I know, it’s crazy and useless, It’s nonsense and foolish, I know! But my heart, my very heart, Also belongs to you!... You can keep it with the inheritance, If I die tomorrow, if I die soon, What’s the difference, one day more or one year less? Who cares if I die tomorrow or if I die soon?...” (This and many more poems by Supreme Master Ching Hai [vegan] are free for download at SupremeMasterTV.com/Poems & SMCHBooks.com)
“Testimony by a former victim of Ruma Trần Tâm: During the Lunar New Year that year, he (Trần Tâm) organized a trip with a group of young men and women riding more than 20 motorbikes from Long Khánh to the Mekong Delta. When they reached Long An province, two girls collided with a truck traveling in the opposite direction and died instantly. However, he remained indifferent and continued the trip. Today, I solemnly swear that all of this is true. Master teaches us not to speak ill of others, but now Master says, ‘The world people must know,’ so I am bearing witness to reveal more about this demon. May Master stay forever on this beautiful Earth. I wish the Supreme Master Television team abundant health and God’s Grace. Your disciple, (…) from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)”
“Testimony by a former follower of Ruma Trần Tâm: Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai, I respectfully bow to You, the most beloved and most compassionate Master. I am (…), from Âu Lạc. I recently got initiated by Master. But previously I received initiation from Trần Tâm. I wish to share my personal experience after receiving initiations from both. I hope that what I recount here will awaken weak, misled, ignorant, and blind souls who have followed Trần Tâm, as I once did. After the initiation with Trần Tâm: my external life gradually deteriorated, falling into decline; I lost my job, and my family fell apart. I had neither inner experiences, nor blessing as they had promised. In contrast, since receiving the initiation from Supreme Master Ching Hai (more precisely, since I began studying Her teachings), my life began to change very positively, both materially and spiritually. I have a stable job; my children are also arranged to have a good place for studying. I became more optimistic, and I feel that each day is filled with miracles. Spiritually, I also had many inner experiences with inner (Heavenly) Light and Sound. Once, during the period I was studying the teachings to prepare for initiation by Master, I was meditating and only recited Master’s name, not the five Holy Names (because the Holy Names taught by the other side have no power), and I saw a bright white Eye. On another occasion, Master took me to visit another planet. And in my dreams, I met Master many times. I am extremely grateful to Master and feel so fortunate. The greatest happiness in my life is to be a disciple of Master. I love Master and pray that the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas of the ten directions, and Heaven, support Master to fulfill Her Mission. I hope that misled people can U-turn, meet the truly great Enlightened Master, the real Living Buddha they have long sought for. Thank you, the Supreme Master TV team for giving me the opportunity to share this experience.”
“Testimony by a former follower of Ruma Trần Tâm: I am a fellow practitioner from Âu Lạc (Vietnam), and I previously received initiation from Trần Tâm, but now I got initiated by Supreme Master Ching Hai. I wish to share my experiences, hoping to awake innocent souls who, out of ignorance, have followed the fake master Trần Tâm. During my time practicing with Trần Tâm, I had very frightening experiences. After a period of practice, my life did not improve but got worse. Many new practitioners initially appeared to be very attractive, but over time, they became pale, ill, and died. In my meditation, I only saw dark and frightening images like ghosts; I never experienced the (inner Heavenly) Light of the Buddha or heard any sacred (inner Heavenly) Sound. I felt that the practice there was not the right path, so when I learned about Master, I sincerely prayed to Master to bless me with initiation soon, to continue on the path of practice to liberation that I have always longed for. After receiving initiation from Master, my life has turned to a new and very happy chapter. I have experienced Master’s Light and Blessings abundantly. When I turn on Supreme Master TV, I often see Master stepping out of the screen. In meditation, I feel light and can easily achieve concentration. I had an inner experience in which Master was wearing a beautiful white robe, and the Light emitted from Her was very bright, illuminating the surroundings so beautifully. Every day, I feel Master’s Blessings which are very strong; I work during the day and meditate continuously at night without feeling tired. Thank You, beloved Master, for saving my soul. I miss You immensely.”
So please wake up. Save yourself. Go find some more honest master at least, and pave your way to a better future for yourself, your children and great-great- grandchildren as well, and for our world in a larger sense of responsibility.
So nowadays, it’s very difficult to even tell who is who. This is the problem for the poor, vulnerable people, to even put their trust anywhere. And on the contrary, the real, pure-hearted, highly enlightened Master has to disguise, has to camouflage into different kinds of situations into different kinds of appearances so that not many more enemies will attack or kill Him/Her fast. Like, confusing the enemies, the negative force as much as possible, so that that Person can continue to practice and continue to help behind the scenes to liberate the souls, whoever truly wants to go Home, They can help. But that also could make trouble for these pure Masters’ followers as well, because they are also vulnerable. They are not completely enlightened, and they also have their own prejudices, their own background, beliefs, and their neighbors’ gossip, and their families’ criticism, and all kinds of things also attack them. So sometimes it’s easy to leave a good Master as well, because you can’t tell.
Lao Tzu said something similar, like, the wise looks like the idiot. Well, not quite exactly like that, but similar like that. So the wise person doesn’t always look the way you expect. They have to do their job in secret, but openly. In secret, but openly. How are you going to work like that? Don’t ask me. See, like real spies, good spies, have to do that sometimes. They act as if they are nobody. They don’t know anything, or they just act like everyone else, wearing the same trousers, same suit, same tuxedo, going to different parties. Even if they never smoked before, if it is a smoking area, everybody smokes, they also try to smoke – it looks like. Or try to drink something; look like others, but they are not. They are real spies, and they are there to work or to extract some information. They are not there to have a party like all the other partygoers around them. That is the thing.
And like the police, sometimes they have to pretend to be a criminal, go into a criminal area, work with the criminals, like drug sellers, or some black market, or a human trafficker, in order to find out the real bad guys behind it. But they have to look similar to them. Even though secretly they don’t smoke, they don’t inhale or whatever, they do it to look similar only so that the criminals in that club, in that area, in that party, will trust them and tell them everything, and accept them also as their members or as their friends so they can slowly and secretly work toward digging deep into the center of this organization to find and catch the criminals. But doing that, sometimes if, for example, they go into a human trafficking center, a brothel, woe to him, that policeman, if his wife passed by and saw him coming out of it. Can you believe it? And this policeman could never tell his wife about his secret job. That is the thing.
So, there’s a big sacrifice for that policeman who risks his safety, his family’s happiness, and not just to talk about his wife, maybe his children even, or his best friend, anyone could see him coming out of that area, of that secret brothel or something, where everybody knows what is going on inside. The Master, the Pure, Real Master Who works in this world, His/Her job is harder than that – a thousand times harder and more dangerous. So, I just hope that some of you will not try to think too much about why the Master doesn’t do more, doesn’t go here, there, help that, this person… It’s not that easy.
Alright. I think I have talked a lot already – enough for my team to have to run to present it to you not too late after this. And I also have to check when they send it back to me for editing or approval or if anything is missing. So we shall talk another day. I think my recorder is running out of ability, so before it says goodbye to me, I say so long to all of you.
Your souls are beautiful, whether you are my disciples or not. Please stay away from anything that you suspect might hurt you or abuse you. And try to keep your good intuition-eyes open, so that you can observe who is what; who is good, who is not – to protect yourself, and your family, your children, your friends, etc. And if you don’t know anything else, pray and thank God. Thank God for everything you have. Thank God for arranging all the best for you.
Just thank God. Thank all the Masters for Their Mercy to help you in any situation and bring you to the best place for your soul, and best protection for your family. Just praise and thank. Praise Them and thank Them. Praise God and thank God for everything Hes arranged for the best for you. Thank all the Masters, praise all the Masters for all the best for your life as well. And keep waiting for the best to come. Don’t miss the opportunity when it comes. You must always be vigilant and expect good things to come, whatever you’re waiting for. The best is: Wait for enlightenment, wait for liberation. Praise God, praise the Masters, thank God, thank the Masters for that, and everything else that They arrange for your life – the best for your life.
Thank you, all of you, whoever listens and tries to believe. Just praise God, praise the Masters. If I can’t help all of you in the physical way, I help what I can, invisibly. Believe that, trust me. What for would I say that to you? I don’t know you; you don’t even see me. But that’s what I do all the time for all of you, for all beings on this planet. God is my witness. All the Buddhas know my soul’s intent and purpose! May all of you be blessed, be protected, be graced with the best: enlightenment and liberation, and a good life now and hereafter. Amen. Thank You, God, for this. Thank You, God, for everything. Thank You.
