LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

 

I heard: In His teaching on the universe and human beings, the Pure King incarnating Lord Supreme Maitreya told us that human longevity in the period of creation had been 8,000 years of life and had decreased to 100 years. Human longevity decreases because of a rebel idea called “illusion” along with “the heart and the mind.” These ideas are so widely separated that they become narrow.

He had discovered that in the primitive life, mankind adequately absorbed the “spiritual air” (Vietnamese “nguyen tinh”) that nourished their body. In the Final Law Period, the “spiritual air” absorbed by living creatures is few and penetrates insufficiently into the body. The longevity thus decreases because of their rebellious actions and bad nature.

Mankind and scientists did not know that their longevity was reduced because of what they created themselves. It was the suffering, craving, hatred, greed, and fear in the complicated life of the Final Law Period that made the longevity decrease. To gradually increase their longevity, Mankind must be relaxed in their body and mind and be able to receive enough the “spiritual air”.

Religions with generous, non-attached heart’s, noble thoughts, and liberated knowledge, are essential to mankind. They only realize that far. Lord Supreme Maitreya said: This time, the true dharma has appeared and the Dharma-Ending Age will soon fade away. He announced the “spiritual air” so that mankind would know it and practice in such a way to increase their longevity.  The input of the “spiritual air” is not hard for the meditator, but it may be harmful to those who did not know the meditation dharma well. If he was passionately fond of the “spiritual air” and received it too much while his poor intelligence made him crave becoming a fairy or Buddha, it will be extremely dangerous.

It is hard for those who do not practice meditation to realize the “spiritual air”, so they are not as healthy and active as those who practice meditation regularly. Those who sat meditating at a high level and acquired the right meditation of Samadhi after a certain time could completely control themselves and make use of the “spiritual air”. Meditation is very essential for those who practice it at home or leaving home to get insight into the dharma nature.

If a man is dull, ignorant, and often experiences failures in earthly life, with good meditation, he will become clear-minded, and intelligent, and can resolve everything correctly and appropriately without error.

According to medical doctors, the human body is continuously changing; millions of cells decay, excrete, and are then replaced by millions of newborn cells every day. The human body is completely renewed within 7.5 years. Because of this internal change, human beings are passed through the course of time from young and handsome to old and ugly. Many powerful and wealthy men do everything to help them to live as long as the universe, but in vain. The Westerners are just as much worried and frightened as the Easterners about death. No sooner had Western medicine discovered efficacious drugs that a deadly disease appeared.

Finally, both the kings and the leaders of the West have given way to death. Many who practiced meditation, especially in the East, made discoveries right in their body and could handle the “spiritual air”, so that when they reached old age they could decide to leave their body or remain in the world. Some were sitting in meditation before their true disciples, then announced to all of them and then passed away miraculously. They were not at all frightened but they consoled their disciples and told them where they will incarnate later in life.
