15. A Lesson to Remember Forever For the Present and Future

The Lord Maitreya is preaching
In about 1980, one day at number 42 of Hong Bang Street, Nha Trang, there was a true female disciple who came from afar to visit the Lord Pure King. After prostrating herself before the Lord and inquiring His health, then she said:
– "From 1975 until now, I have heard the rumor two or three times, but recently, one of my relatives from North Vietnam came to see me and tell the story. I could not believe what I heard and thought that since the people in the North had such a miserable life and hated the communists, they might have fabricated the story. For the first time, I traveled by coach to visit some of my relatives in the North. When the coach passed through the territory of Ha-Nam-Ninh province, I could see these big words written on the wall:
“You, God step aside. The Farmers Association is standing up to replace You.”
I then believed their stories to be true. I also heard that in the temple of the North, Buddha statues were damaged and thrown into a corner. The communists used copper statues to cast weapons and ammunition."
I was present when she was talking. He kept silent, not mentioning these stories and told her to practice through correcting one's nature in this period. When she bowed to Him and left, I saw Him stand to settle His robe and solemnly burn 7 sandalwood incenses on the altar of the Three Dharma Elements. The 7 incenses represented the 7 precious super matchless powers of The Buddhas of Ten directions.
He attested for the Dharma-Ending Age, and the extremely unruly things of mankind qualified as the doomsday. Living creatures used their two hands and their intelligence to build their work, not believing in the Buddha, so there was no efficaciousness for those who were right. As they challenge Buddhas, devas and deities, they still joyfully detached. Just like growing an orange tree and taking care of it, we shall harvest a sweet fruit. Growing a pepper and taking care of it, we shall harvest a bitter pigment, yet we can't blame it on anyone. Why?
Once the act, speech, or thought of living creatures is passed, everyone believes it will be lost or forgotten. But it does not disappear for the high level Buddhist meditator. It conserves the act, speech, and thought of every living creature in every case of the Tathagata store, and naturally gives it back to you at the right time. Recently, scientists discovered that human speech and acts were not lost, but they ran around in the space of the universe.
Years later, the Hanoi press could not dissimulate the truth, and occasionally announced that North Vietnam had to continuously cope with natural disasters. Torrential rains, described as the cruelest ones of the century had ravaged more terribly than ever in the history of development and existence of the Vietnamese people. The aftermath of these disasters resulted in serious material losses for the North. Especially, the people suffered grave spiritual injuries, which made them very anxious and frightened.
Sometimes the press lamented: Nature did not favor us. We must be on guard to prevent and to struggle against storms. In the eyes of the Buddhist meditator, they can only prevent, and cannot struggle against storms. , One beautiful morning, ten years later (in 1989), He told me: “Today people believe in the Buddha, and return to the temples in large numbers.”
Living creatures’ nature became more and more cruel and polluted and could no longer absorb the creative energy, which is the necessary living matter in the universe. Man’s longevity had been reduced. Left alone, the bad character increases while man’s longevity decreases gradually at the rate of 10 years a lifetime. This is very dangerous; so the Buddhas had to help them discreetly leave pollution. With better natures, mankind can absorb more creative energy and his longevity increases again.
The Enlightened One, who masters his way of birth and death, and becomes Immortal, is the way of the Supreme Buddhayana. He has neither hatred nor love, and is neither good nor evil. He often skillfully acts to bring, at most, the goodness to living creatures. Saints and the sages, at the awakened level, are only pupils, unable to realize salvation. Therefore, they could not understand the salvation of living creatures by the Buddhas and Tathagata.
The moans become hatred, exhaling into the blue sky, and Lord Supreme Maitreya started salvation
Any Vietnamese citizen, accustomed to the traditional city life, will be frightened to hear that they would have to leave their native land and go to a dark mountain with unhealthy climate! Everyone hearing the new economic policy of the North applied to the people of the South, would be scared of it. Indeed, the economic situation and the life of South Vietnam were stable before 1975. A few years after the invasion of the North, communists, with their proletariat policy of the USSR, had rapidly degenerated and exhausted South Vietnam. There was a strange dreariness and sadness everywhere, from the family to the society.
The people were forced to go to new economic zones, where the forest had not yet been cleared, the road was not yet opened, or was built with clay, which made the displacement very difficult and limited means of traveling. The climate, and water, was unfavorable, and every family coming to a new economic zone had its members die from malaria. The dangerous diseases became incurable in underdeveloped countries like Vietnam because of the lack of medicine. Traditional remedies did not treat them efficiently. Almost everyone infected with this disease in new economic zones was bound to die.
According to the classification of communist authorities, the following categories were useless to them: Families in which members were soldiers or civil servants of the former regime, families of large or small trading activities, the numerous farms in the south, and families belonging to the middle-class. All these categories had to go to new economic zones under coercive orders.
The communist government, at that time, planned to bring the Northern cadres’ families to fill the vacant houses in the South in order to build big industrial cities after the USSR trajectory. After one or two years living in the new economic zone, the hell on earth, they returned to the cities. The communist officials took their homes away, so they had to live, wandering the sidewalks of all the cities in the South.
He was touched by the lamentations of the people. Among them were those who had the capability to cross the sea. The others, without resource, were freed to go to new economic zones. In the common psychology of that time, being forced to go to new economic zones was a great misfortune. They would rather die crossing the sea than accept going to new economic zones, which they consider to be the last resort. Those who did not succeed, and were caught in the net, had their house and property confiscated and forced to go to new economic zones.
Again, one day, a family of true disciples of the Phap Tang, having followed Him before 1975, ran to ask for help. They respectfully told Him that the police and local guerilla abolished the hamlet at Tan Trang Street on the side of the Dam Market, Nha Trang. Almost 100 families were compulsorily carried by cars to new economic zones. Tomorrow, the police will demolish His true disciple's house. He then sat half cross-legged, in the position of right meditation in His residence at the number of 42 Hong Bang Street, Nha Trang.
The next morning, the police and local guerillas came again and prepared to continue the demolition of the houses. Suddenly, Mr. Le Duan, the first leader of the Vietnamese Communist Party, came from Hanoi to visit the city of Nha Trang. As he passed by Dam market, he saw the furniture in disorder and the people sitting, weeping. Mr. Le Duan asked them what the reason was. After hearing what they reported, he turned to blame the provincial commissioner:
“Your way of working is very strange! The houses are not yet built; nothing is prepared, and you are sending them to go there to die?” And he said: “Please stop sending people to new economic zones in this way.”
The people then shouted with joy and excitement. They ran to rebuild their houses and were free from going to new economic zones. His disciple's house was safe, too. After this overturn of events, He followed to see whether the authorities would change their plan, but Southerners continued to go to new economic zones afterwards. He then entered meditation to ask the devas to save the Southern people, and then relaxed from meditation.
In the year 1977, the whole country of Vietnam suffered from drought. The crops were greatly damaged by lack of water, but whenever there was sufficient water, they were also gravely damaged by insect. The foods reserves were almost empty, too. The drought lasted until 1978 and people in the whole country were starving. People of new economic zones had to eat the bulbs of bananas to live day after day, and when the bulbs ran out, they had to eat tree leaves Desperately starving, they ran into government offices in new economic zones to ask the cadres to give them some rice to live for the time, but they had no more rice, corn, or potatoes.
The Communist partisans, then, could no longer govern and control the people. All of them abandoned the new economic zones and flocked back to the cities, living densely on the sidewalks and wandering in their tattered aspect and dress. Every province was full of new economic zone people living on the sidewalks. Houses of the people forced to go to new economic zones are sold at the cheapest prices, as if they were offered to cadres. They needed only a gold ring to buy a house. In some cases, the people picked only sheet metal roofs and woods from their houses for their new house in the economic zone and left the whole house. The cadres had only to ask the ward or hamlet committee to get it.
The lamentations of the people were heard every-where, and they ran in great numbers to the temples to pray and worship the Buddha, as before. In the impossible position of forcing the people to go to new economic zones, the communist authorities had to order the cessation of the program. The people also reduced their intense temptation to cross the sea. Today, the people in the South could live quietly in the cities, not forced to go to new economic zones. Because of His great compassion for living creatures, the Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya had set out to save the life dharma.
If the devas, dragon deities, and dharma protectors did not show their ability and waited until millions of people died in the dark forests and unfavorable climate, how could the government see its error and correct it? How many people could survive after that? Taking the evident example of Siberia of the USSR, where millions of people were abandoned to die with too many suffering, and separated families, how could it be named a revolution?
