Our beloved human, or simply, our Mom, is also known by countless
people in the world as Supreme Master Ching Hai. As a young child,
She already showed signs that She was destined to become a Saint
through Her natural great love for all beings, including us animals.
Since becoming an enlightened Master, She has devoted Herself
to the teaching of the Quan Yin Method (an ancient meditation
practice focusing on the inner Sound and Light) and the promotion
of vegetarianism. She once said that if only one half of the world’s
people became vegetarians, we would have peace on Earth. The killing
of animals for food has culminated in a violent atmosphere, which in
turn sprouts violence, wars and misery among humans. Therefore, the
lives of us animals and those of humanity cannot be separated.
To those who follow our human Saint, She might be a Master or a
great teacher, but to us animals, She is just our loving Mom. She does
all things a Mom does, like bathing us, cooking for us, singing to us,
taking us for walks, and playing with us. We hope we can share Her
love with all our animal friends in the world, and that the day will
come when each and every one can live a life with an abundance of
food, warm shelter, and love, the way we do.
With much love
To Humans and all.
Love Love
For Butterfly
and Peter, the stray well-mannered dog
For the dogs in my life
And all the animals alike

將滿滿的愛
獻給蝴蝶
和彬彬有禮的流浪狗彼得
獻給我生命中的所有狗狗
以及一切動物朋友們
Despite the fact that we are an odd herd
with different species of dogs,
we all have one thing in common —
this beloved human “pet,” we all own!
雖然我們是與眾不同的一群
品種五花八門
但是我們有一個相同的地方──
我們都擁有這位摯愛的人類
她是我們共有的「寶貝」

我們「收養」了一位聖人
十位幸運狗狗合撰（Benny、Lucky、Happy、Hermit、Goody、Boyo、
Lady、Pomas、Zolo、Hally）
～經書組彙編
我們最愛的「人」，或簡單的說，我們的「媽咪」，被成千上萬的世
人稱為「清海無上師」。從孩童時代開始，她就對所有的眾生，包括
對我們這些動物，自然流露出偉大的愛心，由這些跡象就看得出她將
來一定會成為一個聖人。
自從成為一位大開悟的明師以來，她一直全心奉獻於傳授「觀音法
門」（一種專注於內在光與音流的打坐法門），並且大力推展素食。
她曾經說過，世上只要有一半的人口吃素，整個世界就會和平。因為
殺害動物食用，會使世界產生暴力的氣氛，然後從這個氣氛，又會導
致人類間的暴力、戰爭與痛苦，所以說，我們動物的生命跟人類的生
命一向都是息息相關的。
對於跟隨這位在世聖哲的人們來說，她是一位「師父」，或是「靈性
大導師」；不過對我們動物來說，她只是我們最親愛的媽咪。凡是媽
咪做的事，她都做：她幫我們洗澡、煮飯給我們吃、唱歌給我們聽、
帶我們去散步、陪我們玩耍。我們希望能和世上所有的動物朋友們分
享她的愛，也希望有一天，所有的動物們都能生活得像我們一樣，有
豐富的食物，有溫暖的住處，並備受疼愛。
滿滿的愛
獻給人類和所有眾生
Biography of The Supreme Master Ching Hai
The Supreme Master Ching Hai was born in Central Au Lac
( Vietnam ). At the age of eighteen, Master Ching Hai moved to
England to study, and then later to France and then Germany, where
She worked for the Red Cross and married a German physician.
After two years of happy marriage, with Her husband’s blessings,
She left Her marriage in pursuit of enlightenment, thus fulfilling an
ideal that had been with Her since Her childhood. This began a time
of arduous pilgrimages to many different countries that ended only
when She met a perfect living Master in the Himalayas . Master
Ching Hai received the divine transmission of the inner Light and
Sound, which She later called the Quan Yin Method. After a period
of diligent practice, She attained Perfect Enlightenment.
To satisfy the longing of sincere Truth seekers, the Supreme Master
Ching Hai offers the Quan Yin Method of meditation to people
of all nationalities, religions and cultural backgrounds. Her message
of love and peace brings spiritual liberation and hope to people
throughout the world, reminding all to uphold Truth, Virtue, and
Beauty in life.

Benny
Benny, my first“official”dog. Maltese.
Protective, loving, loyal and also sticky
(likes to stick close). He is a scholar, officially.
Nicknames: The Boss, The Alfa, Big Brother, The
Scholar.
He attended/graduated from a training school
named K-9 Cadet. The school was impressed by
his behavior and discipline. When he graduated, I
came to bring him home. The teacher told him to lay
down. He did. Anxious to be in my arms, but “not
allowed to walk” by the teacher, he crawled toward
me inch by inch, like a trained soldier. And reached
me in the still “down” position, as the teacher and
all present shed tears of emotion. “My God! We did
not teach him this!”
Benny is very compassionate and caring. If
someone is sad, he comes to offer comfort and love
to that person till he or she is cheered up. One of
my attendants used to play drama like crying, and
Benny would always come to him and kiss him all
over every time. Benny specially loves children and
other animals. If he finds an injured bird or other,
he will sit there on guard till I come over and take
care of it. He is ever so quiet and gentle as not to
frighten the wounded creature.
He loves Veggie Green Bones like crazy. But if I
give with the intention to pacify him as I’m leaving
the house (and him) to go out, he won’t take the
bone, but goes away from it into a corner and sulks!
He sneaks to my place/bed anytime if let him,
forsaking all comfort of his own bed/sofa.
Every time I came home, or let him in my room, he is
excited like Heaven, rolling all over my bed, my sofa,
or sleeping bag, or on the floor – just depends on
what’s available.
He is a loving being incarnate. He is a high-level
soul who humbly plays the role of a little dog, just
to love me.
Benny，瑪爾濟斯犬，我的狗兒家族的第一位「正式成員」。
忠誠護主，滿滿愛心，也很黏人。
他學識淵博，有正式文憑學位。
暱稱︰老闆、老大、大哥、學者。
他就讀並畢業於愛犬學院。那所學校對他的舉止與教養，印象極
為深刻。當他畢業時，我去接他回家。那位訓練師叫他趴下，他雖然照
做了，心裡卻急著想跑到我懷裡，可是訓練師又命令他︰「不准起來走
路！」於是，他像受過訓練的士兵一樣，用「匍匐前進」的姿勢，一路
爬到我身邊，令那位訓練師和所有在場的人看了都感動地落淚，並說：
「天哪！我們不曾教他這個！」
Benny很有愛心又會關懷他人，看到有人心情難過，他會過去安慰、
疼愛那個人，一直到對方精神振作起來為止。我有一位侍者以前常假裝
哭泣，而Benny每次都會過去一直親他。Benny特別喜愛小孩和其他動
物，當他發現受傷的鳥兒或其他的動物，他會坐在一旁守護，直到我過
去處理。他會無比的安靜、溫柔，深怕驚嚇到那個受傷的動物。
他非常愛吃素潔牙骨，但是，如果我是因為要出門離開他，而給他
吃潔牙骨來安撫他的話，他就不吃，反而會懊惱地跑到角落去！任何時
候只要我讓他有機可趁，他就會溜去我的地方或床上，完全不理會他自
己舒適的沙發床。
每次我一回家，或是讓他進我的房間，他就樂得像是到了天堂一
樣，在我的床上、沙發、睡袋或是地板上──他能去哪裡就在那裡，滾
來滾去。
他是愛心的化身，他的靈魂很高等，完全是為了愛我，所以才謙卑
地扮演一隻小狗的角色。
I was born in Florida.
Have never seen this white snow before!
The sun shines where me & Mom lived,
Even in the winter
except when we walked together
in the garden, or on the beach
I have always stayed indoors.

我出生在佛羅里達州
以前從來沒看過這白白的雪！
即使在冬天
陽光仍暖暖地照著我跟媽咪住的地方
除了跟著媽咪在花園裡一起散步或去海邊
不然，我都是待在屋子裡頭

Just checking if snow is really as cold as people keep telling me.
One thing I tell you, it is very soft. I can dig easily.
Canada is really too “cool”!
Even for a“furry”like me!
我來檢查一下雪是不是像大家所說的那樣冷
跟你說呦︰它好軟，好好挖喔！
加拿大實在是太「酷」了～
即使對毛茸茸的我來說也不例外！
