LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

Proclamation Attesting the Universe. Part Three

–Bequeathed Kings: The kings who are bequeathed to accede to the throne.

–Popular Kings: The kings who are elected by the people.

–King of Heaven: The kings in the heaven. Most of them are talented, and also called clear-sighted kings. Their people are living in abundance.

–King of Fairyland: The kings in the fairyland, also called fairy chiefs, have higher psychic power than other fairies and are very much respected. Their people are living substantially.

–King of Hell: The kings of hell use the three evil ways to rule their people. Those who dare to tell the truth to construct are killed immediately.

–Devine Worlds: The kings of the divine world are called Brahman kings. In some divine worlds, they are called Sakka; in others they are satisfying devas. People in the divine worlds are all happy.

–Dragon world and the invisible world: With a dragonhead on the body and a hot-tempered nature.

Our globe is only a small world in comparison with the immense universe with countless other worlds. In the eyes of the Buddhist master, who can see through His Tathagata eyes, there are also many other species with a higher or lower living standard than that of mankind.

Mankind, in this world, is governed under multiple aspects during this Final Law Period. Particularly in Vietnam, a manifestation of Lord Supreme Maitreya witnessed it thoroughly. From 1975 to 1989, South Vietnamese people lived in anxiety, and a dark mourning curtain embraced all the social classes, from the city to the country. The way of life was completely upset. The necessary things were extremely lacking for daily life, which was decayed and almost paralyzed. The South Vietnam situation could be compared to a vehicle with malfunctioning brakes, causing an inevitable plunge into the abyss.

Carrying out the USSR “working class” policy, North Vietnam had many times completely mopped up the middle class and intellectuals of South Vietnam. Among these, a number of families not associated with the former regime, had to share also the grief stricken destiny!

The Northern Communist New economic policy, applied to southern people, had brought about a disaster: In every province, there were many wandering, homeless families living on city sidewalks, deprived of food and clothes. They had an untidy appearance, and a way of life unlike the human one. In new economic zones, with deep forests and harsh climates, the city people were not familiar with the shabby, manual labor, and farm life. They had only been accustomed to trading and non-manual labor activities, so they could not produce enough food for their life, and harbored deep resentment!

The people in the new economic zone became ill and were not given sufficient medicine, particularly for malaria treatment. Consequently, nearly every family lost their members. Traditional remedies were not effective enough to fight the fatal fever, so the remaining people had to abandon their farm! They came back to the city, knowing their houses were no longer available, and looked to their future with uncertainty.

The Northern Communism firmly believed in the working class policy, resolutely and rapidly pushing forward. On the contrary, the Southern people, losing their orientation, could do nothing, but escape from reality, the revolutionary reality!

The elders, youngsters, healthy, weakened, and well educated and the illiterate ran to the borders, escaping from their native country where they had grown up. They ran away without thinking, even if they knew they had only a faint hope to be safe in their voyage! They practically threw themselves on the mercy of God in their tiny boats with little supplies, and no food or water in the middle of the Ocean.

When Lenin triumphed over the Tsar, he sent 1 million of the Tsar's soldiers to Siberia to build a city in this region with year-round snow and ice. As a result, only 5000 men survived accomplishing the construction of that city. That is the consequence of forced labor without sufficient nourishment, illness without drugs, and bitter cold without clothes and blankets to warm the body.

There was no Siberia City in Vietnam. The Russian Communists' guide remained very delicate with many subliminal techniques to govern the Southern people. The main food was rice, other essential necessities were managed by the State, and there were cooperatives everywhere. All kinds of usual items became forbidden. The Southern people then experienced extreme poverty and hard circumstances of life.

In this period, when a dog was given a bone, he would be appreciated and wagged his tail to see you. On the other hand, when people were given a piece of meat, they also wanted to empty the giver’s pocket and went to their house and expelled the whole family out. These people are even worse than dogs.

The Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya comprehended the people's living conditions, and also told all of them that those things have to occur ceaselessly in such a way during the Final Law Period.

A manifesting scene characterizes for each period, but in this Final Law Period, the evil is manifested so strongly that it makes Mankind awaken and repent: “From one mountain longing for another mountain.”

When the true dharma was passed down to the fifth patriarch period in China, Shen Hsiu invented a pattern of practice through ceremonial rites, which enchanted people. They also practiced the dharma but led mankind in the wrong direction, and lost the orientation of practice for liberation through wisdom. They gradually worshipped supernatural power, not practicing in conformity with their true nature. This is another weakness in the Final Law Period. Mankind venerates too much material, knowing only the material, so they readily lose their morality whenever faced with a difficulty or obstacle, and run after the manifestations of ambition and desire. The practice path was therefore lost, and naturally, so was the orthodoxy. Some of them were amazed, and complained about their fate and destiny.

The practitioner with a fundamental ability, on the contrary, knows the miraculous equality of salvation well, and is ceaselessly diligent in his practice, because he knows that it is the end of heaven and earth. The law of universal motion never comes to a standstill, once arriving at the end of all things, the doomsday. It is naturally transformed into a new stage in which the true dharma appears. Lord Supreme Maitreya Himself knew it thoroughly, so He calmly sympathized in secret with the Ten Directions during this sacred last time when the great heaven land will transform itself into a beautiful and bright Resurrection.

Now the time of practical truth, helpful dharma, and equality of salvation of the Eastern Buddha of Medicine comes into life! In this world of apparition, there is a lack of many lovely children because of tragedies, so the Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya has to remember the Great Ceremony of the 30th day of the 9th month sorrowfully.

The condition of South Vietnam was deserted and dreary after 1975. The people’s morale was sorrowful, a dark, mourning curtain covered all over the country, and cries were heard everywhere. In the eyes of a Buddhist master emerging from His meditation, He could see under the stratum of clouds in the sky a layer of ice-cold air spreading all over. He then knew that it was the ascending of people's complaints and plaintive voices. The doors of secular jails were slamming so frequently that even devas were frightened.

The 20th day of the 2nd month of the lunar year of 1979, the Police of Nha Trang City pulled down the board: PHAP TANG BUDDHISM OF VIETNAM, CENTRAL HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY

Along with an official order forbidding the preaching and the teaching of the dharma, as well as the meeting, the police created problems for Him since 1976. The reason: He did not adhere to the Unified Buddhism imposed by the government, which intervened in every aspect of the dharma’s practice. The basic human freedoms are stripped away.

In this hell, a small child can actually have older people thrown into jail or have them killed by just making a cruel note to the local police. A three year jail sentence was common in such instances.

One morning The Lord said:

“Think –if I take part in the National Buddhism, every time I teach the dharma I have to write it down and present it to the monk of the province! If I have to make a plan of birth control, in principle, it would be made by the Health Service!”

The police came to take a headcount of number 42, Hong Bang Street where He was living, with the intention of confiscating the temple and creating difficulties for Him. But He calmly made use of the miraculous power to be free from a lot of catastrophes and avoid, once more, the re-education.

The devas then held a meeting to discuss the serious matter, with the participation of the 18 Arahants. The dragon deities, land deities, and quadruple deities gathered densely around Him. In the ears of the Buddhist meditators could be heard clearly and known thoroughly: “When the enemies attack the Bodhi tree, they will be dissolved.”
