49. Secret Seal

How wonderful the Supreme Blessed One is, He has become the Buddha. I am now ordaining the living creatures nature that will become the Buddha. However, the two ways, interior and exterior finally are the only One, adequately representing the Three Bodies?


– The Supreme Special Scriptures
Secret Seal

“At that time, there are numberless living creatures appearing at every pore of the skin in the entire body of the Buddhist Master. They are all around Him readily worshiping and eulogizing the measureless merits of the Buddhist Master who has helped all living creatures to accomplish their practice of the dharma. When the Buddhist Master has finished His preaching, He is admired and acclaimed by numberless living creatures. All of them speak to him respectfully. There are all species of their own world. The Buddhist Master has laughed and clapped His hands. All of them have clapped their hands too and eulogized Him. The Buddhist Master has said: “How strange it is in the way for liberation” He has then ordained all living creatures’ nature to become future Buddhas.” –T.V.

Thus I have heard:

As for the brilliant dharma of the Buddhist Master as the Lord, when He has become the Buddha each pore of His skin is a transformed Buddha. From every speech, every act, and every thought all manifested everything transformed Buddha. His entire body has the incalculability of transformed Buddhas appearing around Him with respect.

He could have emerged from the right meditation to travel everywhere; he has entered into the right meditation to come in and out of the skillful observation throughout. With His intention, there are immediately the transformed Buddhas who simultaneously traveled over many destinations to save the living creatures in an unthinkable manner whereas the fairies and devas who could travel only with a single transformed one in their whole body. Why? Because of receiving only one sphere as the fundamental place. For that reason, when the fixed perception is apparently formed, only appearing a transformed one who travels to a single destination, after he returns to the body then appears another of the transformed One who travels to another destination. The full enlightenment of the Buddhas is immensity that none of the fairies and saints could know about.

Consequently, it is an eternal error of the one having the divine eyes or the divine ears who hastily proclaims that he himself is a Buddha. The living creatures are convinced of their precise words and the sublimity by resorting to the one having the divine eyes or divine ears. Nevertheless, they do not realize that the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas indubitably knowing this one is still millions of miles away, unworthy by all means, just being equal to a pore of skin in the body of the Blessed One, the Lord Supreme Maitreya. Thus, the future patriarchs should not hastily proclaim to be the Buddhas!

“At that time, The Buddhist Master has known perfectly the emerging and entering of the Tathagata store, dividing it into the oriental and non-oriental, the perfect and imperfect Tathagata. He has compatibly appeared in the apparent dharma body in the whole body of the enlightened Tathagata. From each to millions of pores of His skin without boundary that simultaneously appear the countless scenes and the innumerably apparent worlds which are still coming out from each pore of skin that is called the compatible apparition of the dharma body of the Enlightened One.” –T.V. 

As for the brilliant dharma of the Buddhist Master like the Supreme Lord Supreme Maitreya, the emerging and entering of the right meditation of samadhi is His routine performance. Though, He orientates or does not orientate, the emerging and entering in whatsoever the matter is, He meticulously knows everything because He has already commanded the Tathagata store.

Though, resolving the dharma perfectly or imperfectly, His measureless merits are not decreased. All the dharma bodies of Buddha are containing the Tathagata store, which He has fully acquired. Therefore, His perfect or imperfect apparition still is the salvation in accordance with Tathagata. He has realized these marvelous performances for the four orders of disciples of the dharma store, but very few true disciples in the Dharma School could recognize them.

Thus I have heard:

In the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds, there are pre-existing atomic Buddha and instant Buddha, that means there is already pre-existing supernatural power. All are under the electronic control of the universe, which commands the four species. The disciple, once enlightened, grasps in hand all the great mysteries of the universe. The electronics are continuously transformed like the bodies of the Buddha, with countless atomic Buddhas, instant Buddhas appearing and existing perpetually. Like medicine, the more studies and researches are carried out the more diseases are also discovered...

The success in the illusion of science is the reality of human beings. The disciple who is not attached, doubtful or rebellious manipulates well all the dharma. By all manners of speaking and acting, he would be fluent everywhere. The fluent one, who understands thoroughly all the dharma, preaches it fluently, that is his individual possession, while the listener is not yet to realizing it successfully that is not his possession.

Whatever the living creatures say and realize is the transformation of the mind into thoughts, which results in different classes and levels. The one who preaches fluently the dharma and knows entirely the transformation of mind becomes an eloquent preacher. This reason overcoming the other one brings about eloquence.

The Supernatural Power is in the stupidity

After leaving for a long time the power returns.


–T.V.

Why? Because the disciples and living creatures prefer a complicated and fictitious lifestyle, they are virtually seeking for the supernatural power in the far horizon or the deserted forests.

Thus, where is the supernatural power of the Four Species living? Wherever the Four Species are living there must be the supernatural power. Human beings can stand upright, that is owing to the interior and exterior pressure of the supernatural power. According to science, there is the atmospheric pressure affecting the surface of the material that keeps it standing, because the interior of human body has an electric current of the universe which flows out and in via the pores of skin. When man or Four Species stops breathing, he can no longer firmly stand and falls down due to an electric current of the universe that is unable to flow out and in henceforth.

The youngster walks and stands steadily while the elders behave weakly, the hair becomes gray because the diffusion of the halo from the interior body outspread is getting weaker, the pores of skin and the devoid of space inside the body are the place of the emerging and entering of the supernatural power. When attaining enlightenment, the disciple can mobilize the atomic Buddhas, instant Buddhas to come in and out of the body through every pore of skin with self-satisfaction and fearlessness to acquire the great compassion. Beard and hair are the residue of the supernatural power.

In the practice of dharma, the supernatural power evolves in parallel with the development of the thoughts of self-satisfaction and great compassion. Human beings do not contain the knowledge inside the body - The supernatural power is in transformation. The universe originally contains all the cavities that are called the tathagata store.

If the knowledge is stored in the body, it will be buried and disappear after death. Most scientists also believe that knowledge is in the body; in fact, knowledge literally lies in the universe. This subject belongs to its own cavity. From birth to maturity of a man, which part is accumulating his knowledge in the past and in which part his habits, customs, and the conception of life? All of that is reflected by the Tathagata store.

For example, for the one who studies exclusively the English language, all the deportment and activities in his life entirely lays in the constitution of Tathagata store that specializes in the English language. The Tathagata store emerges and enters to return to you the knowledge from the four directions. The more eminent a character is the greater intelligence and comprehension becomes.

The more intelligent a man is, the more knowledge he accumulates. That is called the saint, deva, and philosopher. From the antiquity to the present time, how the human beings have practiced the dharma. Practicing by the eye, the ear, the head, all of these are entangled in the level of ordinary man. Using Tathagata store for practicing, he would comprehend universally. This is the one who knows how to use his body in this present lifetime for practicing in the right path of Buddhas and bodhisattvas. One should be close to Buddhas and bodhisattvas, seeking for the dharma with a one-pointed mind. That one will be carefully guided in order to tap into the Tathagata store for the returning of knowledge, the disciple perceiving all that is cleared up.

Why it is called the Tathagata store: That is the hearing of the hearing, the seeing of the seeing, and the knowing of the knowing. Therefore, the disciple must use the hearing to hear, the seeing to see and the knowing to know. Recognizing that, the hearing-seeing-knowing will not be rebellious and there will be no more interruption, differentiation and destruction.

As for the Enlightened One, he could well comprehend the radical faculty, which he has constructed. The enlightenment is not yet the full enlightenment. Only the full enlightenment can understand thoroughly. The one who comprehends thoroughly penetrates with adequacy to enter into the right meditation of samadhi. Every time and everywhere there is certainly appearing the whole physical body of samadhi. It is not easy to recognize the practice leading to the unique career vehicle path in its right meaning that is initiated presently by the Lord Supreme Maitreya Buddha.

“From the primary Bodhisattva to the Maha-Bodhisattva, they usually make use of the direct apparition and conversion apparition. Those with the conversion apparition often have communicated with the Three Dharma Elements and the Three Great of Thousand Worlds. Emerging from the meditation to travel all over the spheres, that is the conversion apparition, until fully attained. One, by that time, can have the true apparition. These four forms of apparition are still in the dharma body of Buddha, which adequately appears in equality of every variety of attainment or confused attainment, and can inherit the apparition. In the manifestation of compatible apparition, there are two parts which are called the apparition in the direct retribution of the individual's previous existence and the receiving results of one's deeds. They are neither apparition mind nor dharma mind. The apparition of the dharma mind is the apparition dependent on the dharma body. Why is that? It is due to the natural accordance of Instinct and physical nature appearing simultaneously.” –T.V.

From the secular world to the devas, fairies, deities, sravakas, pratyekas and arahants, all are using the statute of compatible apparition. The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva compatibly appears to save in accordance with the expressed request. There is the disciple who is inclined to worshipping and supplicating favor from God, the supernaturalness that belongs to the compatible apparition.

The direct apparition is the insight of the dharma subject of samadhi. It is by the direct apparition that oneself’s awareness can recognize the three dharma elements residing all over, at that time then perceive the conversion apparition. The Bodhisattvas can only make direct apparition. Only the Blessed One, the Supreme Lord Supreme Maitreya can make the true apparition.

The Bodhisattvas observe throughout and discern that: The human beings are temporarily living in this secular world. For that reason, they inevitably need all the aspects of materiality and as well as the spirituality. As far as the doctrines of the saints are concerned, they contribute to support the spirituality. From the Taoism, the Confucianism, the Brahmanism, the Catholicism, the Protestantism, the Islamism, the Hinduism to the Theosophy... All the religions are purposely nourishing the spirituality, when departing from life, the living beings would ascend to the divine world or approach the Mighty God who is unique, that belongs to the statute of compatible apparition. There is the supernaturalness within supplicating, otherwise without supplicating there is none.

Buddhism is only the religion, aiming to guide the living beings to achieve the full enlightenment, and the rebirth beyond the circle of the universe. Why?

The teaching of Buddha has discovered the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds outside the divine world. And the experimental science has recently discovered what the Buddha has taught for thousands of years.

Psychology has been studied from the thoughts that latter manifest into the action, knowing all the human psychology in order to maneuver and help them. Nevertheless, psychology has not yet known that the spirituality and materiality are mutually combined in the visceral consciousness of human, which matured all.

Philosophy makes full use of the thoughts, coming to the perfect comprehension of the thoughts and finally understanding thoroughly every aspect of humans, then becoming more knowledgeable. But it never attains the marvelous purpose of the original enlightenment nor is it able to explain whatever the Buddha path has acquired and whatever the Buddha path has resolved in the way of transmigration of birth and death.

Human beings generally make use of thoughts to form spirituality, creating the sphere that is the scene where they would be destined after departing from life. Only the Buddhas and the Maha Bodhisattvas have meticulously known and precisely seen it without fixation, simply examining to save mankind, helping the disciple to sense the direct apparition towards the conversion apparition and emerging from the transmigration of birth and death. Therefore, the disciple could recognize his own ego that is called the right meditation of samadhi.

Having the thought of seeking full enlightenment, the disciple would achieve the compatible apparition of direct retribution of his previous existence. With the thoughts outside the fundamental enlightenment, he would fall in the instinct and receive the compatible apparition of the result of his deed obviously.

There is existentially the seed nature of living creatures in the four species; that living creature nature is no other than the various breeds of bacteria inside the body. When they express phonetically in the body, naturally the human beings generate the thoughts. There are the incalculable thoughts produced, there is the seed nature of bacteria that are presented at most.

The more knowledgeable the disciple or the Buddhist Master that practices, the wiser the breeds of bacteria in his body become. When departing from life, the body of four elements disintegrates and the knowledge that belongs to the Tathagata is returned to its cavities in the universe. When a new body is reborn the knowledge will be reflected in it. The Buddhist Master just looks at the character, the gesture, the present lifestyle resorting to the acquisition of the direct apparition, he sentimentally converts and knows the previous lifetimes in the past as well as the future of living creatures, identifies where the disciple will be reborn. Therefrom, he could associate to free the soul. With the profound direct apparition, one can know many lifetimes in the past whereas the compatible apparition one is just capable of recalling one lifetime. It is hard, just like looking for a needle in a haystack, to achieve the profound direct apparition, which belongs to the rank of the Bodhisattva of inconceivability, the Bodhisattva of unrecoil.

He has ceased for a while, taking a sip of tea and continued His teaching: When the Buddhist Master becomes Buddha, all the bacteria in his body grow into numberless Bodhisattvas who contribute to the solemnity of the nation by their direct apparition. For that reason, there are natural mind apparition and corresponding apparition of the dharma body.

Why? The natural combination and the existing physical nature simultaneously appear into the atomic Buddhas, the instant Buddhas. Whenever the Buddhist Master is thinking, whatever his way of resolving the secular world is, the bacteria grows into the Bodhisattva bound to appear in body and carry out his excellent order, aimingly accomplishing the resolution of the secular world according to the sealed decision of the Buddhist Master.

When the Buddhist Master acquires the fruit of attainment, there are the great millions of seed natures in Him, which also acquire the fruit of attainment, that is the sea of truth. When the Buddhist Master acquires the superior supreme, there are the great millions of seed natures in Him, which also acquire the superior supreme as well, that is the world sea of superior supreme. Therefore, in case of need the Buddhist Master gives an order immediately within an instant, there are one, two or many countless atomic Buddhas in the body of Buddhist Master whom truly appear. The one who enters the right meditation knows well all the bacteria in his body.

The body of living creature is the insubstantiality, unreal and temporary. Because it is composed of four elements, the soil, water, wind and fire. The bacteria move to and fro, run back and forth in the blood vessels, in the marrow of bones... to form the knowledge of living creatures. Due to the body, which is formed by the four insubstantial elements, our knowledge also is insubstantial. Therefore, the disciple who indubitably commands the seed nature of all bacteria in his body is named the Buddhas appearing the entire body. At that time, each speech, deportment completely appears through the whole physical body of samadhi is the secret wisdom of the Tathagata, precisely is the secret seal.

The Bodhisattva is the one who has been challenged, verified and conferred the sealed wisdom by the Buddhas through the great means of favor and unfavor, purity and impurity, form and formless. It really is difficult to foresee his wonderful applications, so there will be a tendency that is suspicious, doubtful and unfinished. Only a minor mistake can deteriorate the strenuous exertion and lifetime of practice. Therefore, the disciple should be self-repentant, repenting his mistake so the Lord would acknowledge it. Some disciples are allowed to restart the practice from the beginning.

Overcoming and comprehending perfectly would have been conferred on the sealed mind. the sealed mind is the secret seal Tathagata; it is impossible to express in literature and sound.

Ceasing for a while, the Lord has continued teaching: There are the various breeds of bacteria inside the entire body; each part or each organ has every specific breed of bacteria. They secrete a viscous substance, which goes to the organs to transform into spermatoza. The spermatoza waits for the sexual intercourse to conceive and produce human species. It creates knowledge, depending on the root-faculty of each species of living creature.

Therefore, those with the wisdom of meditation, illuminating the body and mind in order to annihilate the stupidity and attachment will get the comprehension and acquire the samadhi. If the disciple uses his wisdom, intellect to study even with an excellent learning such as the scholar, he is only practicing for the benevolence. Practicing by meditation simultaneously perceives the breath and the life of all species of vegetation as well as the harmonious movement of the universe. That includes all kinds of bird melodiously chattering in symphony with the sounds of whistling wind to become the thousand phrases of prayer to the Buddhas, to the dharma and to the monks without ending. The disciple with an enthusiastic spirit, having not yet ultimate end wisdom is still erroneous in the fanaticism.

In this Dharma-Ending Age, The Supreme Lord Supreme Maitreya has come to the world to reorganize the dharma, so that the disciple practicing without his ego may grasp the line of the direct apparition. Here are the two verses that He has written:

Naturally that Dharma Ending Age has just come to an end
The True Dharma appears to succeed gloriously.
–T.V.

Having the sufficient establishment for those enthusiastically seeking for the dharma, bravely generating the mind for practice in order to dissolve the transmigration of birth and death, is the most precious.

The one acquiring the true meditation and knowing well the origin of every seed nature owing to his enlightenment, he can see clearly how the devas, fairies, deities and saints are polluted and reborn in that scenery limit. From the feeling-ego, realizing the meritorious practice of one’s self-ego in order to create the supernatural power, the magic power, he has meticulously known all of that without omission, entering into the right meditation of samadhi to save living creatures.

As far as the Buddhas are concerned the six powers, the supernatural power samadhi are not as important as the acquisition of the samadhi. For that reason, the Buddhs has taught the Bodhisattvas: The right meditation of samadhi is the temporary residence of the Bodhisattva realizing the Mahasattva while practicing the real form and formless of the samadhi are not yet penetrated that is the supernatural power of the arahant rank.
