Guanyin Famen or Quan Yin Buddhism (Chinese: 觀音法門), the teachings of Meditation Society of ROC（Chinese: 中華民國禪定學會) or Ching Hai World Society (Chinese: 清海世界會). The organization is a school of Mahayana Buddhism-like cult found in 1988 by the ethnic-Chinese Vietnamese teacher Ching Hai.[1][2]
Out of 20 banned groups on the China Anti-Cult website, Guanyin Method is one of eleven listed as "dangerous".[3]
As such, it has made the leap to cyberspace and become a cybersect.[4]
