Other Literary Work Apart from composing the above six volumes, about 180 poems were composed by Lord So Phu Huynh, including his replies to his visitors who wanted to know about Him. Approximately 20 writings were written by the prophet to teach how to worship under all ceremonial circumstances, an appeal to people for taking part in national liberation movement, famine relief etc. His literature was impregnated with a great compassion for human sufferings, a great concern for social and moral degeneration of the people, the disorientation of the traditional elite, the exotism which threatens the most-valued moral heritage of Vietnam, at the expense of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. Lord Huynh also performed miracles, mostly in faith healing who had immediate healing effects on His patients with a simple method, such as drinking a cup of fresh water in which only a piece of yellow paper was dipped, after praying in front of the Buddha's altar.
