24. Lord Supreme Maitreya Buddha Has Wept For the Monks and Nuns
|
The disciple who believes himself to be right is standing just on one side of the dharma. If he tries to know that all are right and where the reason of his rightness, he may hope to reach the Buddha. –Self-Enlightenment Sutra

Venerable Thich Thanh Tu read “All Dharma with the Living Creatures” and made a negative comment.
One day, He told me to go to Vung Tau to meet true disciple Phap Huong. I brought a short lecture to her and the latter offered it to the Venerable Thich Thanh Tu whom read it and made a negative comment.
Two years later, He accidentally read the “Enlightenment Review”, edited in Saigon, an article of the Venerable Thich Thanh Tu on the “human condition.” Long Hoa Chief Monk said that taking a table or a chair, for example, means that form is recognized and there is no part in the article indicating the true nature. He then told me to offer another one of His lectures to the venerable. I went to Vung Tau, meeting true disciple Madame Dieu Minh. I gave her His other lecture entitled “All Dharma with the Living Creatures”, to offer to the Venerable Thich Thanh Tu.
He read it and reprimanded: “How strange this is!” Then he gave it back. Thus, this ‘master’ has been learning and studying sutras, but not training his true nature. That is why he could not understand the lecture. So, how could he write the key of practicing toward enlightenment this way? I went back and reported this to the Lord, He has kept silent.
Venerable Thich Thong Buu stopped a Bhuddist practicing the meditation of Long Hoa Chief Monk.
Madam Dieu Phat was a disciple of the Venerable Thich Thong Buu of the Quan the Am temple in Saigon. She has followed Long Hoa Chief Monk to practice meditation. Knowing that, the Venerable Thich Thong Buu scolded Madam Dieu Phat and said: “You practice the Heterodox Meditation and become mad. Do not come back and disserve me in the future.” Then, he sent a deputy to Madam Dieu Phat's house to place talismans all over the doors to cast out the devils!
When Dieu Phat went back to visit the temple, the venerable got angry and boisterously rebuked her for not stopping the meditation practice of the Long Hoa Chief Monk.
• Venerable Thich Minh Chau had notime to read the "Tathagata Meditation" written by Long Hoa Chief Monk.
One day, I went to the Center of Studying Sutras of the Institute of Van Hanh, Saigon, at 11 o'clock. As I entered the main entrance, a dharma protector (invisible) came to welcome me. I told him that I wanted to see the Venerable Thich Minh Chau, the rector who has a doctorate degree in Buddhism.
When I approached the main hall, which was quiet at that time, the venerable, in his solemn robe, had just come down from upstairs and was standing beside the main hall.
After paying homage to the Buddha, I greeted the Venerable and asked him:
- Revered Sir, are you the Venerable Thich Minh Chau?
- “Yes, I am.” The Venerable answered. I approached and told him: “I have a book that is entitled ‘the Tathagata Meditation’. I'd like to lend it to you.”
- “I have no time to read it,” answered the Venerable.
Unfortunately, they could not understand a word of sutra from Long Hoa Chief Monk incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya Buddha.
The two stories cited above during this Dharma-Ending Age are very symbolic to the renunciating followers (Deva Vehicle Form), whose disciples are so numerous. They are all named Venerable or Master. Unfortunately, they could not understand a word of sutra from Long Hoa Chief Monk incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya Buddha during the time He has taught dharma in this saha world.
“The disciples must be prudent in their practice. They preached dharma as wonderfully as sacred monks, fairies, deities, and saints. On the contrary, they themselves could not understand their teaching and have not attained anything. They are for correspondence only and must not be attached to them. The Buddha has taught us to preach dharma based on the merits of Tathagata.
By knowing yourselves, you will know that what you say is what the Buddha said. Otherwise, it is only delusion and devil preaching. All disciples must pay attention to this part." –T.V.
Then He sat down and wept because of waiting for them too long.
Through these facts, He has lamented: “The monks and nuns nowadays are applying themselves only to learning and studying sutras, and reject everything contradictory. Would it be possible that all scientists are enlightened?" Then He sat down and wept.
"In the future, if the monks and nuns come, tell them I have been waiting for them too long.” –T.V.
