Does your lay Buddhist name follow you for life or does it change with different temples and masters?
When you are laity and given a Buddhist name does it change with different masters and temples or do you carry it with you for life? While mostly pertaining to the Vietnamese tradition I'm very curious about all. Thank you.

Why is Thich Nhat Hanh called Thay?
I have noticed that Thich Nhat Hanh refers to himself in the third person as "Thay". Why is this, and what is its meaning?
