LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

Proclamation Attesting the Universe. Part Four

View from the small, wooden top floor of the Lord Supreme Maitreya.

In the small, wooden top floor of the Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya's residence, I heard what He was teaching:

“Looking at Vietnamese communism, we can know about the USSR. The USSR brings about everything.

In beating a snake, I have to strike its head, not the middle or its tail. But I won't beat it, because if I do, it would be smashed like gruel. If I use the rod to strike, no ferocious snake could withstand it, even if it had billions of subordinates armed with modernized weapons in this Final Law Period. To me, it does not matter very much.

By only drumming the rod, due to supernatural power, I could make it paralyzed and decomposed in small parts, in order to teach and warn the disobedient child.”

The statue of Lenin is dismantled.

Look at the present situation: The political regime of the communist USSR and Eastern European communist countries, as firm as steel bulwarks, was suddenly broken up into republic nations inclined to the free world. Unlike in war, no bloodshed, death, or “drinking the enemies' blood” came to either of the two camps. The free world did not waste a bullet. The secular world did not know that an invisible hand of the Buddha had performed a miracle for mankind, avoiding the catastrophe of a Third World War. The doomsday was over! The remaining communist countries were applying themselves to reform, according to the commands of the proclamation attested. He had made use of the supernatural power of Samadhi, from Tathagata eyes, and His supernatural ears to fabricate the strategic chessboard of “success without struggle.” This brought love to mankind, helping them to live in warm and cozy times.

The Supreme Pure King recited these two verses in order to pass them down to future generations, warning the leaders that the hands of mankind do not create all things. They should not rely on their power to oppress their miserable, defeated blood brothers, who live together with them in a fine country. He had silently corrected the wrong orbit:

The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had to shake the head for this Final Law Period, while all the state leaders in the world have smoothly obeyed the hand of Buddha without seeing it. It was evident that evil and sorrow had become purity, peace, and joy.

Due to the reform policy, people nowadays can enjoy an easier life. Even “state men” have the opportunity and the right to live with plenty, eat and wear what they wish, and have the right to “new thoughts.” This is capitalism.

With His great compassion, great power, and great courage, the Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya brought love manifested by His real action, without distinction between the people of one side or the other. Though the police of the city of Nha Trang, who just were dying for an opportunity to arrest Him, often watched Him, He patiently made use of all His necessary supernatural powers of Samadhi. Once incorporating this Samadhi power, He could neutralize all devious things that penetrated His body. Therefore, besides the evil and the odds, there is the good, which protects and shows respect to Him.

Indeed, the Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya used secular world neutralization to bring living creatures from the intoxicated and ferocious world to a peaceful and joyful one, while they knew nothing. The free world also believed that they themselves had managed or rectified the situation to create peace today.

All the beauty and safety were due to the supernatural power emanating from Lord Supreme Maitreya’s concern over the situation. He skillfully used it to transform the distracted world of the atomic era into a calm world, abolishing the menace of destroying each other between the two blocks, which can miraculously live in peace together today. Everyone has to recognize that all nations in the world today are uniting their efforts and collaborating more closely than ever. In comparison with the intense hostility after the Second World War from 1945 to 1954 and 1989, humanity was almost reaching doomsday.

The fully enlightened one, who cultivates the fruit of the supernatural power with great illumination and full competence, is able to divide his body and transform it into numberless atomic Buddhas, instant Buddhas. The consciousness is brought away from the body and incorporated in numberless forms of life as long as necessary. Afterwards, He brings people back to their former spiritual position, without their awareness, with the purpose of bringing about a satisfied life, without tyranny and oppression among the Four Species. Having this supreme power, He has countless bodhisattvas, dharma protectors, fairies, and deities of invisible forms in the past and present, which are ready to serve Him.

Some people living in this world relied on the forces of their comrades, established power and governed others. They believed themselves to be great, did ill deeds, attached themselves to evil, and couldn't see the Buddhas who live hidden, and did not want to show their forms. Why? Living creatures are originally bad, with a fickle temperament. If they let it manifest in front of the enlightened one, it is extremely harmful to them and to their comrades. All are reflected by His supreme powerful virtue itself!

The enlightened one's power is really the power of the universe, also called power of God or Tathagata. Look at solid works constructed with mankind’s strength such as skyscrapers and long bridges, and you will know that a typhoon or a gust of wind could destroy them completely. An earthquake would make them fall down, and a change in the weather would make all of us paralyzed. He surveyed thoroughly, entering or emerging from the right meditation of Samadhi, to resolve and bring along unthinkable safety and happiness. Advanced science and modern civilization are reduced to inaction and are helpless when an earthquake or typhoon occurs on our globe. But for the Buddhist master, neutralizing typhoons and earthquakes is an ordinary thing. This is quite true.

For many years in Nha Trang, the meteorological station occasionally announced the arrival of a typhoon. He then entered the right meditation of Samadhi, and mobilized the heaven dharma to neutralize it. The typhoon moved away to the open sea and disappeared. Nha Trang was thus safe. Once there was a potential dangerous earthquake. Knowing this beforehand, He mobilized the great land to resolve the earthquake, avoiding horrendous damage to the people. He needed not say it to anyone; only some of His close disciples knew the fact. How wonderful it is! Only a venerable, attaining Buddhahood like The Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya and saving living creatures in this Final Law Period knew to keep the secret in order to be successful in His practice. One day He said:

“I need not the fame. Manifested miracles and supernatural powers will have Mara try to kill me. The teaching of the dharma will be unfinished.”

The sages hastily manifest their supernatural power acquired through labor and merits. If they did not have enough talent, which is wisdom, they would easily be harmed. The Supreme Enlightened One, superior to the sages, can comprehend all dharma thoroughly from His Samadhi meditation, not leaving a fissure. He is not killed like sages, who have insufficient wisdom and supernatural power.

Although the sages understand and teach dharma to living creatures, they have insufficient eyes and ears for discerning to mobilize like Tathagata. They can't resolve anything about “secular world neutralization” for human beings and all the Four Species.

Living for more than 15 years in Saigon, I was usually informed every few years by the meteorological station about a probable storm. Once, at the end of 1992, the Saigon television station emitted, every 20 minutes, an urgent announcement about a storm, which would quickly pass by Saigon in the next 12 hours at a speed of 150 km/h. I only informed my disciples that I would make use of the divine dharma to make the storm return to the China Sea and dissolve. All my disciples heard this and had seen that the weather was still calm afterward, and the blue sky was as clear as every normal day, and there was no storm.

The people, who heard the news, prepared to stand up about the storm. They thought the Saigon Meteorological Station was wrong, not knowing that at that time, I had nullified the storm for the sake of Saigon and other surrounding areas.

Paradoxically, I had to cautiously teach the enlightening dharma to my disciples, disseminating them into small groups. Hell was waiting for the Supreme Pure King and me, whenever we displayed negligence! He often complained: Teaching morality is considered as a crime. How cruel it is!

Facing so many hardships, the Vietnamese people were competing to cross the ocean. Their close relatives' letters and telegrams from the native land were the most needed spiritual food for them. The governments of Khanh Hoa and other cities had seized these letters, censored them, and did not give them to the people. Everyone was impatient, neglected eating and sleeping, lamented and wondered about the destiny of their relatives, if they were alive or dead after crossing the sea. He was Himself in the same situation. After six months, He said: Letters and news are sacred rights of life and humanity, and no country in the world should do such a horrible thing. One can abstain from eating and accept to be pinned with hunger, but they would be crazy and die from losing their spirit. The devas convened a meeting to resolve the issue about which He had complained.

As a result, a hurricane had come to Khanh Hoa province, causing crop failure and gravely damaged roads, bridges, water, and electrical infrastructures. Short of funds, the provincial authorities hastened to distribute letters and telegrams from abroad to the people charging an additional receipt for each letter. Other provinces imitated Khanh Hoa in distributing letters from abroad. From then on, the authorities no longer seized those letters coming from abroad.

This is the ultimate manner of action by which devas resolved the question gently. If the wind blew at a speed of 200-250 km/h and the rain was heavier, in a few days, the destruction would be much more terrible. That was the part for devas, land deities spirits, and dharma protectors who had not yet shown their abilities! Their sadness might be much more dreadful, and the disastrous results would be immeasurable!

If, in this Final Law Period, the Holy King thought of His benevolent and philanthropical faculty condition, He would accept dying for the sake of the living creatures.  He would not be able to change the minds of the leaders, kings, and princes who were following the three evil ways. If they refused to obey, even the good holy king would be reduced to inaction and the supernatural power would not win against the evil force. This faculty condition had to be in accordance with the circumstance, with the degree of transformation of the evil faculty. Therefore, the one having attained Buddhahood like Lord Supreme Maitreya, could not sit quietly, and abandon people to live in obscurity or sink into the sea of suffering. He had to skillfully make use of the supernatural power of Samadhi to save people, and at the same time convert disobedient ones. That was the supreme truth that a holy king, with insufficient ability, would not be able to perform.

Deities, mankind deities, land deities, mountain deities, supreme deities, dragon deities, and quadruple deities, guard and impartially help the good or evil... If there were any not being converted, help them to convert - Except for the cases where every individual and every kingdom conserves his evil, cruel faculty. He should, therefore, return to his nature, to enjoy his karma in peace, according to his wishes.

He promulgated this proclamation for attestation and the bodhisattvas, dharma protectors, devas, and deities... had to help all the nation leaders and their subordinates impartially and with clear identification to do “good” and avoid “evil”. If the invisible evil faculty was in their bodies, He had to awaken it and convert it to good. This is the order given to all living creatures of the Three Thousand of Great Thousand Worlds, which were wishing for a peaceful life and that sacred right to live naturally and at ease.

Scientists and leaders should remember that every invisible deity, deva, and dharma protector has an unthinkable supernatural power. Utilizing their intelligence, scientists could produce atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, neutron bombs, bacterial bombs, and chemical bombs. Too much labor would be invested, but all of that would be nothing in comparison with a deity. By His supreme real power and in addition to a miraculous matchless power, The Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya could order them to manifest their compassionate spirit and create the merits to practice the dharma. The deities are absolutely venerating the Buddhas and bodhisattvas because they respect the dharma and the fruit of the practice. They are ready for action beside Him in great numbers.

In this Final Law Period since 1975, He has seen that all the people's daily activities were fixed by the government such as the right of dwelling, and eating, but not speaking. The practice of the dharma to build morality was especially controlled and forbidden from developing. In reality, only the practice of the dharma in accordance with the truth could have morality. If everything was too easy and happened according to the thoughts and determinations of mankind, why was it undocumented in history that many nobles and sages were born through dynasties to correct and teach people to perpetually maintain the good faculty?

The communist government forbade the printing and distributing of His scriptures written before 1975, which aimed at teaching living creatures to practice for liberation through wisdom. Once, His disciples in Saigon used handicraft instruments to print the book, “The Doctrine for the Path to Liberation,” which was confiscated by the authorities who considered it grave, and put each of them in prison for 3 years. Their relatives had to make a lot of petition for lesser sentences. They were finally released 2 years later. The police arrested me and pointed out to my face: “I'll condemn you to ten years' penal servitude to make you know your destiny”. The Maitreya Buddha had to appeal to the invisible dharma protector to liberate me from the prison for the second time. The first time, I had been “re-educated” for 42 months.

After the sutra was seized, the police gave it to a national monk to read. The national Buddhist committee, unable to understand the sutra, concluded it to be paganism, and we were put in prison. The Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya was arrested by the city police of Nha Trang while He was tired, losing consciousness and receiving “saline” infusions. As they were waiting to seize Him, the Dragon Deity Dharma Protector took care of Him. Soon after, a favorable, wonderful, and suitable dharma appeared in His meditation room. He got out of the prison. The city Police came afterward to watch and question Him as regularly as eating daily meals. Once they told Him: “Do remember, I can put you into prison whenever I want.” During His entire journey of teaching dharma, The Lord Supreme Maitreya was confronted many times in the hell fire by the Maha King, Devil King and their descendants who would kill Him, but they all failed and had to give up and release Him.

Day after day passed and He was patiently preaching the Dharma to His true disciples, who took turns, coming by in small groups. The true disciples of Hue, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, and Saigon had to comply with such a strict organization. Therefore, He had to explain the dharma every day without resting for a minute. One day a notable came to see Him and asked whether He could get any sleep. He happily replied:

“As you see, He answered in the daytime, I'm occupying myself to teach the dharma to the disciples, group after group, all day long. In the nighttime, I emerge from right meditation to go throughout the world and outside the globe to teach the dharma. I can only sleep for one hour in the midday to restore my health, so I have no time to sleep at night.”

Indeed, the enlightened one always has the supreme mind, so he is pure in the day as well at night, the two that are only one. Because day and night are only one for him, he has no ordinary sleep like that of seculars. That is something incredible to the sciences, but it is true.

The Lord Maitreya with His disciples at Central Highness Association, Nha Trang.

On the days of great ceremonies of the Phap Tang Buddhism at the Central Highness Assembly in Nha Trang, He was sitting in the semi cross-legged position, continuously entering the right meditation to appeal to the invisible dharma protectors to stand guard over several places in the city.

There were more than 100 representatives of the dharma protectors, venerables, and all faithful disciples coming from several provinces. The invisible dharma protector changed the weather into heavy rain, with a dark sky and cold, heavy, prolonged wind before the beginning of the ceremony. Every house had its door closed, the street was quite deserted, and police and secret agents reposed and took shelter from the rain. Meanwhile, disciples of Phap Tang came from all directions of the city of Nha Trang, correctly dressed, and walked under the rain to go to the Great Ceremony at His house. Afterwards, the organizing committee guided all of them one by one out of His ceremony site, nobody wandering before His house. Once the Great Ceremony was over, the sky became transparent, the clouds dispersed, and the rain stopped. How refreshing and satisfactory it was. Every time, the invisible devas, dharma protectors, and the deities were standing guard outside. The invisible dharma drotectors were busy watching the organization inside without error or negligence. All His true disciples voluntarily kept silent and discreet.

The Vietnamese know that in this Dharma Ending Age, believers no longer visited the temples. At the citizens' house, a group of about 3 persons gathering would pose a lot of trouble, which could not be described. The ones who have power wrongly thought that death was the end. There is no such thing as a cause and effect law, but they would go into a hell fire suffering. Only learned man, who had meditation minds, had known everything in detail. It would be very difficult to become human beings again if they create evil in their lives.

He often said: It was too difficult to construct the true dharma in this Dharma-Ending Age, but He remained diligent with plenty of the supreme mind.

During this period, when the fire curtain was wrapping all over, many Buddhist followers felt the difficulty and escaped over the border to practice the dharma abroad. Indeed, with mind, which was not supreme, one would not be able to practice the dharma in Vietnam. He told us, if we practice the dharma when it is easy and leave it when difficult, we are still weighing and choosing, and we could only become Pratyaka Buddhas. The fruit is very small, much inferior to that of the bodhisattvas. Remaining patient and courageous here, practicing the dharma, and facing the life, you could hope to attain the title “Buddha”. Once entering the Buddha precepts, it is difficult to get out. In many cases, you would remain there without knowing that you have been attached to that precept. The exception that the practitioner who leaves his ego and his ownership, may be able one day to meet someone who has attained title “Buddha”, and would help him to continue the practice.

Generally speaking, Vietnam, at that time, was coming to an economic, environmental, cultural, educational and political crisis. The region is deadlocked, and originates from the USSR. The people were also in spiritual crisis, and impetuously escaped from their homeland, by crossing the sea. According to international statistics, only one out of four refugees would reach their destination, the rest were presumed dead or missing. Particularly in the USA, there are now over one million Vietnamese people living, and three other million others had died at sea by boat or at the Cambodia borders on foot. Only speaking about the USA, it seems there were great numbers of Vietnamese who had settled all over the other democratic and generous countries in the world. The number of dead or missing people, the loss and the sorrowful situation was indescribable. This marked another dark chapter in Vietnam’s history.

Regarding the dissension between the North and the South during 21 years, the statistics had presumptively estimated that about 3,200,000 Vietnamese were dead, this number did not include the number of disabled soldiers still living, but disabled, and this caused unrelenting suffering.

For the first time, He sat weeping for the living creatures both domestic and abroad, as well as humanity undergoing the misery. All disciples were frightened and asked Him. He said: “The North communist government treated the Southern people as slaves.” At the same time, practitioners for fairyhood at the Seven Mountains of Chau Doc, who hear this, immediately informed people and their disciples of the Lord Supreme Maitreya Buddha. He wept for all living creatures in this Final Law Period. They were indeed clever and diligent, but practiced according to fixed thoughts, not practical truth. Therefore, they were not able to see Him either. They could take the picture and see the picture, but could not come into the scene, live in the scene or be in contact with people in the scene. It was the same for us, who saw the pictures on television, but were not in contact with them. We were not able to enter and see or talk to the persons, and the true scene taken by the producer in the camera.

Judging profoundly and impartially about the catastrophe inflicted upon Mankind in general and Vietnamese in particular, including Himself, by the USSR, He burned seven sandalwood incenses one day before the Three Dharma Elements, vowing decisively to help living creatures to be in peace.

Since then, He usually emerged in meditation at night to go to the USSR, accompanied by the invisible dharma protector. He appealed the land deity of the capital of Moscow, land deities, and divine deities to come to the Eastern European communist nations to offer impartial help.  Particularly in the USSR, the land deity had found and “implanted” for Him a person with a “new thought” and with a true power. This way, He could discreetly transform the situation of the world and bring about freedom to humanity.

I remembered His words well: If I could not awaken and convert the USSR, the catastrophe of the Third World War would be unavoidable, and the consequences would be immeasurable for humanity and all living beings on the globe.
