清海無上師是一位知名的慈善家、藝術家和靈性導師。她的愛心和奉獻已經超越了文化與種族的藩籬，嘉惠世界各地數以百萬計的人們。
從「清海無上師及其世界會歷年慈善賑災活動一覽表」的貢獻範例，人們可看出清海無上師及其世界會的會員都是立即在需要幫助的地方提供協助，尤其那些別人尚未加以照顧的地區。
清海無上師世界會會員的援助非常迅速、有效率，所以常常是第一個到達災難現場，連主流媒體都很少來得及報導。舉例來說，在紐約 911 悲劇事件後，世界會的會員不僅是少數可以接近災區現場的團體之一，他們也獲得許可，待在那裡好幾個星期，每天供應食物和咖啡給救難人員及其他人。這些努力和直接給予受傷或倖存家屬的捐獻，總計約 360,000 美元。在卡崔娜颶風、麗塔颶風及威瑪颶風 、 2005 年印尼海嘯的救助工作 、 以及 1999 年福爾摩沙 921 震災救援，清海無上師世界會也是第一個抵達現場
清海無上師的援助幾乎遍及世界各個角落。因為世界會的成員幾乎遍及世界各國，所以他們可以在災難發生時立即行動，並且可以用當地的語言溝通。對於災民而言，這常常是莫大安慰的源由。
除了對於災難直接的援助之外，清海無上師對於其他救援組織也給予以慷慨贊助，例如：聯合國及國際紅十字會、行動援助組織（ Action Aid ）、英國防止虐待兒童組織（ NSPCC ）、世界自然基金會（ WWF ）、救世軍、無國界醫生組織、美國退伍軍人協會、動物保護組織、孤兒院以及其他許多幫助戰爭難民、愛滋病患、痲瘋病患、肢體殘缺者、貧苦的兒童、老人或是窮困的學生等等的慈善基金會或團體。
清海無上師所做的其他的人道貢獻，還包括了幫助人們以積極的方式重建他們的生活。例如：在柬埔寨和肯亞挖掘許多可供飲用的水井，以及將數以千噸的米送到北韓和柬埔寨來緩和 饑 荒。在香港、菲律賓、泰國、新加坡和印尼的難民營也收到了金錢及物質方面的捐助。
雖然我們已經儘量搜集資料，不過「清海無上師及其世界會歷年慈善賑災活動一覽表」仍無法完整囊括所有事項，清海無上師在世界各地私下默默的貢獻還很多，尤其 1989 年以前的慈善工作更是沒有正式的紀錄。清海無上師從 1984 年開始在福爾摩沙弘法以來，就一直在進行許多慈善活動。

We will search high and low for a little love. For a little love to share with all beings in all corners of the world. Supreme Master Ching Hai, as she has affectionately become known to those who have had the pleasure to meet or work with her, leaves a message that walks the way of love. A renowned humanitarian, artist and spiritual visionary, her love and assistance has extended beyond all cultural and racial boundaries.
to millions of people around the world, including the needy and homeless, institutions of medical research on AIDS and cancer, war veterans of the United States of America, the disadvantaged elderly, the physically and mentally handicapped, refugees and victims of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and fires.
Through these works, we witness countless reminders of compassion, which is the trademark of this caring lady, and the international foundation that has grown out of her love and loving example.
Whatever we can share, begin with sharing, and then we will feel a subtle change in ourselves, more love will be pouring into our consciousness, and we will be aware of something, and that is the beginning. We are here to learn, to learn to grow as well as to learn to use our power, our limitless power of love and creativity, in order to make a better world wherever we happen to be.
Supreme Master Ching Hai was born in Central Au Lac. During her early years, she was often found helping hospital patients and the needy in whichever way she could. As a young adult, she moved to Europe to study and continued there as a voluntary nurse and translator for the Red Cross. She soon discovered that pain and suffering exist in all cultures and in all quarters of the globe. Searching for a remedy to this became the foremost goal in her life.
She was happily married at the time to a German doctor and although it was an extremely difficult decision for both of them her husband agreed to the separation. She then embarked on what became a two year journey in search for spiritual understanding. Finally in the deepest reaches of the Himalayas in India, she found an enlightened Master who imparted to her the Quan Yin Method - a meditation technique which contemplates on the Inner Light and Sound. After a period of practice, she became fully enlightened.
Soon after her return from the Himalayas, at the earnest request of those around her, Master Ching Hai shared the Quan Yin Method with others, encouraging them to look within to find their own greatness.
The peace and love that we most often talk about
and seek we have within ourselves.
People from all walks of life found that through the Quan Yin Method of meditation, they attained greater fulfillment, happiness and peace in their daily lives. Before long, invitations arrived from the United States, Europe, Asia and South America, as well as the United Nations, for Master Ching Hai to give lectures.
As well as being a noble example of humanitarian aid, Master Ching Hai also encourages people to beautify the world we live in.
Future is in our hands, so you make it beautiful or you make it worse, it's up to you.
Through meditating with the Quan Yin Method, Master Ching Hai has realized many spontaneous talents that she expresses through artistic paintings and creations, music and poetry, aesthetic jewelry and clothing designs, expressing the inner and outer beauty of the cultures and people she has met.
In 1995, upon the demand of the public, her clothing creations were toured on the international fashion circuit, including London, Paris, Milan and New York. The sales of all her artistic endeavors have enabled Master Ching Hai to create an independent source of funding for humanitarian activities, highlighting her pragmatic view that we should always try and create our own means from which to give others.
Although she does not seek acknowledgement of any kind, in recognition of her selfless assistance, Supreme Master Ching Hai has been given awards worldwide by government officials and private organizations on numerous occasions. They include the Gusi Peace Prize, World Peace Award, the World Spiritual Leadership Award, Award for Promotion of Human Rights, and the Award For Outstanding Public Service to Mankind.
She brings love around the world where there is hate. She brings hope where there is despair. And, She brings understanding where there is misunderstanding. She is the light of a great person, an angel of mercy for all of us.
~ Mayor Fasi of Honolulu
Supreme Master Ching Hai is one of the truly dedicated people of this era, helping others find and create a beautiful vision of our future. Many great people in history have had a dream, and in her own words, so does Supreme Master Ching Hai:
I have a dream. I dream that all the world will become peaceful. I dream that all the killing will stop. I dream that all the children will walk in peace and harmony. I dream that all the nations shake hands with each other, protect each other and help each other. I dream that our beautiful planet will not be destroyed. It takes billion, billion, trillions of years to produce this planet and it's so beautiful, so wonderful. I dream that it will continue, but in peace, beauty and love.
