Supreme Master Ching Hai's musical compositions are very diverse. Sometimes they have an Oriental character that is mysterious and remote, and sometimes a Western temperament that is elegant and romantic. No matter whether it's soft classical music or popular jazz, all of Master's music is like the melody of hundreds of streams flowing into the ocean.
Master uses many kinds of instruments in Her music, for example, the harp, piano, electric keyboard, mandolin, dulcimer, zither and even percussion instruments, among others. She plays spontaneously, apparently without effort, and yet She conveys the subtle nuances of musical expression very precisely.
Master once said that after She started to practice the Quan Yin Method, Her artistic and creative talents began to develop. This is perfectly true. Who else, besides God, can create such heavenly music, which unifies heaven and earth and harmonizes the Yin and Yang? These compositions should only be heard in heaven. In this world, only people with affinity have the opportunity to appreciate them!
While listening to Master's music, one may feel intoxicated and carefree -- physically and spiritually -- in the serene and peaceful atmosphere that the music creates. One feels very clear and empty, as though one were becoming a single cell, which slowly breathes quietly in unison with the entire universe. It's also like transforming oneself into a musical cord that floats among the orbiting stars; playing together the eternal, immortal tunes that express a feeling of joy for life and a longing for happiness and freedom.
A person with real spiritual power can not only develop his or her own talent, but also act like the flame of an Olympic torch, transmitting energy through high level vibrations to open the door of wisdom of our souls, enabling us to learn the Truth. There is a saying: "Teaching by example is more effective than teaching by words." The strong magnetic field of Truth, virtue and beauty set by a holy saint, without form and effort, teaches us the meaning of perfection.
Each one of Master's artistic creations radiates a strong vitality. Whether it's a song or a painting, it is full of vigor and boundless love, like a living entity in itself, giving people wondrous, elevated, and joyous experiences.
In music, voices that resonate from the top of the head are considered the most beautiful. Master's voice emanating from the wisdom eye is crisp, clean, and powerful, yet graceful and soft, and full of sincerity and love. Very few people who hear Her singing are left untouched.
After hearing Master's compositions and Her uplifting and resonant singing, one is no longer content with worldly music, feeling like an unloved person who has fallen from a cloud - remaining unsatisfied as if something is missing.
Besides, Supreme Master Ching Hai's artistic creations symbolize what Confucius used to say: "My way is only oneness." Their delicacy and innocent spontaneity are comparable to those of Mother Nature, being just like the simple naturalness of her intricate landscapes.
Master's natural and refreshing style of creation is amazingly resourceful and inspirational. Her music is delicate, rare, and of the highest standard. It is out of this world, yet warm and intimate, enabling it to be widely appreciated.
Note: Sister Yue-chi has never learned to play a musical instrument. Her musical creations are inspired without the aid of teachers or instruction. She started composing music and writing songs when she was in the sixth grade. After initiation, she became more prolific, often composing one song in two to three months. She once composed two songs in one day!
