LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

...He has then looked at me and said: "I am returning in this return period to relieve the stupidity of living creatures, leading them to the Buddha nature of enlightenment. He, who listens to or believes in Me, should not look at Me in whatever manners and will, of course, get the liberation through wisdom. Otherwise, if he persistently keeps on regarding Me and being attached with the doubt, until the next three hundred and fifty years, I shall appear to attest them." Then He has passed down the verses:

The first stage of examination of Long Hoa is over. If the true disciple repented and left his self, he could certainly meet Long Hoa in Vietnam, which is being transformed to guide living creatures to enter the Tathagata store in order to access the path of complete liberation through wisdom. If the disciples were indecisive and hesitant, unable to hear and receive the teaching, He would reappear 350 years later to attest the deliverance of the Bodhisattva through His salvation of living creatures. Having attained the supreme Bodhihood like the Buddhas of Ten Directions, He would not teach meticulously and repeatedly from the beginning.

In 1993, He has already entered the Great Eight Pari Nirvana. He has known that 350 years later the bodhisattva and the patriarchs would minister, rendering considerable benefits to the living creatures and save them. The majority of the human beings in this earth would practice through the layman conduct, basing on their true nature. At that time, the renunciation people can see the dharma of the Buddhas, which handed down to us, will bring the practical interest to both of them - the renunciation and the lay people. He as a prince appeared at another constitutional- monarchical country at the age of 17, among the Prime Minister, the ministers, the generals, the general directors and the province chiefs, who are called the heaven’s officials, who are seriously sitting under His power and influence. He will attest the bodhisattva, the patriarchs who should have accomplished the teaching of the practical truth to the living creatures equally.

He has attested mainly for penetrating the fruit of the attainment of the universe. Therefore, the patriarchs according to their diligent practices and vows would have correspondingly perceived the Bodhihood. Afterwards, the disciples of renunciation conduct, who are still discarding the dharma, should return to the practical truth of the Lord Supreme Maitreya.

These courtiers will not be the strange ones; they are the bodhisattvas, the patriarchs, the dharma protectors themselves who are reborn as laymen of the heaven world so they could see Him once again. Those courtiers are very well educated such as scientists, specialists, doctors, professors and engineers…After attestation, He has immediately announced His entering the Great Eight Pari Nirvana without staying back in this secular for enjoyment and lavish lifestyle.

I have remembered all the scenes displayed before Him, the stupidity of the four orders of disciples, including myself, which made Him undergo countless sufferings, only because of the seed-karma of the living creatures nature. I was uneasy, returning home with a vague state of mind.

Near the time to enter into the Great Eight Pari Nirvana, the Lord has repeatedly reminded,

He has carefully reminded the patriarchs, the rank of venerables, the arahants, and the dharma protectors who are practicing the conduct of the saints and sages. If any of them wrongly followed the formless that is the impure dharma, he must be guided by a bodhisattva realizing the mahasatva in order to be free from the belt of dharma limit. Otherwise, he would fall into the three ways of evil that is extremely dangerous in the incalculable lifetimes.

In the future, if the patriarchs, the venerables, the arahants, the dharma protectors are making their vows, but unfortunately without meeting the Bodhisattva realizing the mahasatva, they must be careful, should not exaggerate, and proclaim themselves as Buddha or Bodhisattva. By doing so, they would offend the sangha, be self-styled of the Buddha form, as well losing the dharma of preservation which has been long cultivated.

You should not proclaim yourselves confusedly to be Buddha or Bodhisattva as in the Final Law Period as the Lord has witnessed. You should have sufficient abilities, merits and also wait until meeting a bodhisattva realizing the mahasatva to attest to be in communication with the Buddha-power and officially become Bodhisattva.

Being a Buddha-King, He not only reorganized and rectified the way of practice to transmit it to the posterity and in the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, but He has also restored the orders and stabilized for the sake of the living beings on this earth.

For the Patriarchs who have recently acquired the truth, they should carefully consider whether they could manipulate the samadhi, making the ultimate peace for the four species? If not, they should neither proclaim themselves to be Buddhas nor Bodhisattvas. Prudentially, they should preserve the fruit of the saints and sages in order to allow the devas, the human deities, the land deities, the supreme virtue deities, and the quadruple deities to supportably establish the true dharma.

LORD SUPREME MAITREYA WITH LONG HOA
