Book Description
The verses in Wu Tzu Poems were composed during a period spanning from the Author’s initial spiritual quest through the time of Her attainment. “Wu Tzu,” which may be translated as “No Death” or “Life Eternal,” is The Supreme Master Ching Hai’s pen name from that significant phase in Her life. Originally written in Aulacese, all of the poems in this collection have been translated into English by The Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association (SMCHIA) Book Department, with guidance from the Author. To provide readers with a glimpse of The Supreme Master Ching Hai’s genuine appreciation for the art of poetry, we have included an excerpt from the translated poem “The Saint” with editing comments by the Poet. Wu Tzu Poems presents an intimate chronicle of the Poet’s journey in search of the Truth. This undertaking was motivated by Her deep yearning to seek enlightenment for all beings, not just Herself, even at a time when Her life was regarded as highly successful by worldly standards. Each poem marks a step on the passage toward spiritual awakening. But these verses reveal more than just a series of stages; they also reflect the devotion of a great Soul, and as such, touch the true Self or Soul in each of us. We hope that readers who have felt a longing for Home will find a profound echo of their own sentiments within these pages.
