A
Little Message
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 wants, 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 reflects
more completely the beauty of the island and its people. Master feels that
using these names bring spiritual elevation and luck to the land and its
inhabitants.
The Five Precepts
1.
Refrain from taking the life of sentient beings*;
2. Refrain from speaking what is not true;
3. Refrain from taking what is not yours;
4. Refrain from sexual misconduct;
5. Refrain from using intoxicants**;
*This precept requires strict adherence to a vegan or lacto-vegetarian
diet. No meat, fish, poultry, or eggs (fertilized or nonfertilized).
** This includes avoiding all poisons of any kind, such as alcohol, drugs,
tobacco, gambling, pornography, and excessively violent films or literature.
