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]
