Product Description
...recites Sunny the parrot, one of Supreme Master Ching Hai's precocious birds that shares Her household. In this beautifully illustrated book, Master Ching Hai lovingly writes about each one of Her feathered friend's unique biography, complemented by life-like photographs and captions filled with amusing telepathic exchanges between Master and bird. As one views these colorful vibrant beings among the trees and flowers, singing their love for God, one feels a soulful retreat from the daily grind of the urban jungle. Simply opening this book of Master Ching Hai, instantly brings forth a magical forest animated with birds and flowers.

Twenty-three beautiful feathered beings, frequently seen nestling in the Master's arms, brings Her endless joy. She is often moved by their words and actions and is greatly inspired by them as well. Master Ching Hai pleasantly surprises the reader by revealing that inside these God s creations are very highly developed souls whose love know no boundaries.

Each bird comes with an inimitable life history and possesses its very own quirky personality. Some of them have had sad past making one s heart ache. Nevertheless, their funny antics will surely entertain and put smiles on faces, just the way they do to their beloved Mom. Supreme Master Ching Hai demonstrates in this work of love, the tenderest love a human can have for other creatures. Moreover, She shows how deeply animals can feel and that when one peers into their emotions a wide spectrum of feelings emerge.

Master says: "I wish we could all understand others like birds, and treat them as we would ourselves...Their companion and friends mean a lot to them, sometimes as life itself, their loyalty is so incredible! They suffer loss and sorrow much like we do." All who have birds should consider their feeling and have respect for their dignity and love."

These two hundred seventy pages of wonderful pictures and stories walk you to a world graced by beautiful birds and inspire to understand their lives and wide range of thoughts and emotions.

1 out of 5 stars I believe the 5 star reviews are fake!   October 9, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The Birds in My Life
This book was a major disappointment. Thank goodness I got it for only 0.75 on half.com. The photos are taken by an amateur, and some are out of focus. The birds are Photoshopped into a natural environment. The text is minimal, and is poorly written. An example of an entire page:

I am not afraid of any height
Here you can see me hanging upside
I want to see the blue Heaven
That ~ my original nature~ reminds

This has taught me to be very wary of the "ratings" on Amazon. All of the reviewers that gave it 5 stars only had her other books (which are all self-published) listed in "see all my reviews". Of course, they all received 5 stars, also! For someone that has supposedly attained "Perfect Enlightenment", she seems to have no problems misleading the public. Interestingly enough, on Wikipedia, one of her directives is "to not speak that which is untrue."

I hope this will help other readers avoid this author and be wary of uniformly glowing reviews.



1 out of 5 stars bad photos, bad writing, bad fonts   September 10, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

* This book features the some of worst fonts in existence: curls, papyrus, and more.
* On one page there is a photoshopped image of a bird wearing an elegant fur coat.
* Here's a writing sample:

"I might look scary
But I am no witchy
I am all loving sweet
All dovey sugar honey!"

If you are between the ages of 10 and 80 you will be unable to have any response to this book aside from laughing at it. I actually thought it was joke when I first saw it, but apparently a lot of people have bought it on Amazon. This book is in my possession because a coworker got it for free and left it on the coffee table for someone else to take. I'm currently trying to figure out if I should save it for a gag gift, leave it in a friend's house for them to discover, or just throw it in the trash.



5 out of 5 stars The book for all generations!   February 19, 2008

I'm thrilled that my neighbors love this book. The kids just love the birds! And my older friends love it when they received in Christmas.


5 out of 5 stars the birds in my life   December 13, 2007

It's such a lively and vivid portrayal into the bird "characters" that I feel they are my true great friends.
The author has successfully conveyed her love for these birds to her readers and made them a part of their lives.
