Pebbles and Gold is a collection of the very first poems composed by The Supreme Master Ching Hai. Many of the poems included in this collection have bee obtained from relatives and friends who cherished and were able to preserve them.

The poems in Pebbles and Gold were written during The Supreme Master Ching Hai’s youth. Central to each is the theme of love, sometimes personal and sometimes universal. Just as the view from under the sea is richly different than what can be seen from looking down at the ocean’s surface, the poems composed by The Supreme Master Ching Hai contain a depth of meaning that extends to worldwide humanitarian concerns and divinely inspired love for all beings.
