about Ching Hai :

Suma Ching Hai International Association Spiritual Handbook .must see!.
In order to avoid being bothered by SMTV's DMCA Takedown Request again, we won't give you the link. Publishing the full copy of this deception masterpiece out of the context of an analysis would make us infringe the copyright law. But you can easily find the PDF by searching "Suma Ching Hai Spiritual Handbook.pdf " in Google... (special kiss to Matthew)
The Truth about Merits : How to Gain or Lose Them (hilarious internal document about Ching Hai's spiritual points system)
For the same reason, we don't give the download link. But you can search on Google "The Truth about Merits PDF". Actually this is not a secret document since it is published here on Ching Hai official website.
