In China, it's common for us to have a given name, a courtesy name, and a style name. My name is Xiangdong SU[蘇向東], which is my formal name. 'TOM' is my courtesy name, used to make it easier for ee in the United States to address me. And 'Qinghui Jushi'[清慧居士] is my style name, representing my practice in Zen Buddhism. So, Xiangdong SU [蘇向東]is my given name, TOM is my courtesy name, and Qinghui Jushi [清慧]is my style name.
