Sharing Experiences to Hopefully Prevent More People from Getting Caught in Dark Web of Deceit Ruma Is Spinning

In the past, I was once ignorant and followed Ruma. When I first received his so-called “initiation,” every time I meditated, I would see frightening images — snakes, centipedes, and crawling insects everywhere, all shrouded in a gloomy darkness that left me feeling deeply uneasy and terrified. After meditation, I would often become irritable, impulsive, and easily angered — completely contrary to the peace and tranquility that a true spiritual practitioner should have. I also never experienced the higher-level inner Heavenly Sound. I could only hear ringing in my ears, insect-like sounds, and sounds belonging to a very low Astral level, whereas many disciples practicing under Supreme Master Ching Hai have experienced very high-level inner Heavenly Sounds as described in the scriptures. This clearly confirmed to me that Ruma was indeed a false master teaching a counterfeit meditation method involving sound and light. Once, at around 4:00 am, I went for a walk near where Ruma was staying. As I approached the “initiation room,” I saw with my own eyes a figure resembling a demon from hell — a huge figure holding a gigantic mace in its hand and walking in a fierce and intimidating manner. The figure walked straight into the room and then disappeared. What I witnessed was 100% real.

I often wondered why his teachings and behavior imitated Yours to such an unbelievable extent. Why did he dare to call himself a “master”? Every night, I earnestly prayed: “If Supreme Master Ching Hai can hear what is in my heart, please let me know the truth about Ruma.” Although it was said that Ruma sponsored food and meals, in reality, he still found various ways to get the money back. For example, on one occasion, he and his students made cakes and initially said that they were “making them as gifts.” But after he left, some of his attendants forced each person to pay 500,000 Vietnamese đồng (~US$19.25) before they were allowed to leave. Those who did not have the money had the amount recorded as a debt. When I was serving as a protector in his group, I clearly saw how he imitated Supreme Master in everything — from the way he greeted and checked on the protectors, to giving out cakes and candies, organizing meals, and so on. There was a group of tall, handsome young men who served as protectors for him, but after only a short time, I saw that they had become haggard and visibly worn down. It was very heartbreaking to see.

In August 2024, when the truth about Ruma was exposed, I immediately awakened to the truth. I instantly remembered my previous prayer and understood that You had given me the answer. Most Venerable Master, I am profoundly grateful for Your compassionate Light, which led me out of delusion and guided me back to the true path. Disciple Diễm Thư from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)

Bùi Tấn Kiệt is another fake master and Trần Tâm follower. We believe that Trần Tâm has instructed Bùi Tấn Kiệt to found his own spiritual group in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) to convince Hòa Hảo adherents there to follow Trần Tâm. Bùi Tấn Kiệt tells them that Trần Tâm is the reincarnation of Hòa Hảo founder, the Venerated Enlightened Master Huỳnh Phú Sổ (vegan), which is a lie. Bùi Tấn Kiệt also tells the public that Trần Tâm is the ‘Jade Emperor,’ another untrue fact, to further Trần Tâm’s appeal to the nation’s spiritual communities. Finally, Bùi Tấn Kiệt falsely declares himself the ‘Maitreya of Vietnam.’
