IMO, Thay is trying to present these ideas to a modern western audience. By putting it into evocative hippy talk, there are many people who may find this approach more appealing than sutta study (initially at least). If people put in the effort and wish to further their practice, I would hope that they realise they need to look at the original teachings of the Buddha.
Another example Thay uses often is the expression 'man is made of non-man elements', which is basically describing anatta.
Tbh, I'm not sure there is any link with the suttas. Again, imo it's all fingers pointing to the moon.
