LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

When entering Nirvana, The Buddha has made His will to Ananda as follows: After my death the Dharma-Ending Age will come in which my disciples will leave the Dharma and practice wrong doctrines. They will refuse to observe the condition – focused effort - result, and continue to associate with the wicked parties to insult and mock those who keep precepts.

For that reason, all the Devas become chagrined and leave, while the high dignitaries, men of wealth and the common people will lose confidence in the Triple Gem, which will almost destroy the Main Dharma. From then on, these Bikkhus (begging monks) create worse and worse Karma. Fortunately, there are other Bikkhus who know how to maintain pure practice, and preach Tathagata's Dharma to benefit all Living beings. There are also many Kings, High Officials, Common People, Lay disciples and Buddhist Believers, who begin to mourn for the Main Dharma. They worship the Triple Gem, respectfully make offerings to Tathagata, glorify, and show their firm will to receive Dharma. These are the Bodhisattvas who are born with the great wishes to maintain the Buddha Dharma and to give benefit to all living creatures.

That’s why The Supreme Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya understands the Dharma-Ending Age, which teaches the Living Creatures who wished to attain the Perfect Knowledge that they must be faithful, obedient, and respectful toward their leaders in order to be successful.

Lord Supreme Maitreya acts as a lay disciple to help incarnate Bikkhus in the Dharma-Ending Age, making use of life to guide the Dharma practice, so they are purified at present.

During the time of Sakyamuni Buddha, one day Venerable Ananda saw a huge elephant while meditating who was standing and suddenly collapsed and disintegrated into millions of maggots. A few minutes later, the elephant shook his body and become big and powerful as before. Venerable Ananda asked Sakyamuni Buddha about this story. He taught: The collapsed and disintegrated elephant represents in the final law period, His children Monks and Nuns who are not aware and do not correct their natures. Therefore, True Dharma became denigrated and Dharma ending. Later, the elephant strongly stood up and the maggots disappeared meaning that layman would re-establish and rebuild True Dharma.
