In
speaking of God or the Supreme Spirit, Master instructs us to
use original non-sexist terms to avoid the argument about whether
God is a She or a He.
She + He = Hes (as in Bless)
Her + Him = Hirm (as in Firm)
Hers + His = Hiers (as in Dear)
Example: When God wishes, Hes makes things happen according to
Hiers will to suit Hirmself.
As a creator of artistic designs as well as a spiritual teacher,
Supreme Master Ching Hai loves all expressions of inner beauty.
It is for this reason that She refers to Vietnam as "Au Lac"
and Taiwan as "Formosa." Au Lac is the ancient name
of Vietnam and means "happiness." And the name Formosa,
meaning "beautiful," reflects more completely the beauty
of the island and its people. Master feels that using these names
brings spiritual elevation and luck to the land and its inhabitants.
