    So, I think from now on we include the word Ureign – (Yay. Yes.) to call them. And pray that it gets better for them. U-reign - you reign yourself. (Yes, Master, that’s right.) You have sovereignty. Isn’t that good? (Yes, definitely, very good Master. Wonderful, let’s do that.)

Usage

Ureign may be used as a proper noun referring to a symbolic or artistic representation related to Ukraine, or in contexts referencing Ching Hai’s coined terminology. Specifically, followers of Ching Hai and members of the Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association (SMCHIA) use Ureign to refer to Ukraine. The term reflects both a phonetic play on the English phrase “you reign” and a reference to the country, often in spiritual, symbolic, or community discourse within SMCHIA.

    And I was thinking about that. And it’s good you ask me. I’ve been thinking that maybe we should change the name of Ukraine into a different name. (What name Master?) Like, “Ureign” for example. Ureign. Like, “you have sovereignty.” (Wow, yes! That’s a good idea.)
