LONG HOA HIGHNESS ASSEMBLY, SECOND PERIOD

 The animal’s world is a world, which combines living creatures’ world after admission and transformation. It is the very Buddha's dharma body. The female associated and gives birth to living creatures, as a woman who gets married and gives birth to her children. Everyone realizes that the female creates life.

And what is about the male? I have heard:

A man living in a proper environment will produce by himself lice and head lice, when the man's body has produced a male and a female; he has accomplished his duty of birth by transformation. After the apparition of the male and female, there will be the proliferation of their countless descendants...  Thus, the male also gives birth.

So does the non-born. For example, fallen trees at a given time will pro- duce the woodborers. So does rice. On the surface and in the heart of the earth there are also countless species, which can move and live...

Therefore, inanimation all the animal’s world including the male, female and inanimation can produce the animation. Thus we can see that the associated animals give birth by transformation to the mountains and rivers and earth element of the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds.

Thus, the inanimation gives birth to the animation, the earth, the plants, the mountains, the rivers, the cloud the water, the animals, the organisms and the emptiness, all are containing the seeds of every species. All of them are the universe, the Tathagata-Buddha, the God, and the Allah. And their appellation depends on each country.

Hence the Tathagata or the universe is perceptible; they have also the perception, and are not perceptible. Where there is association there is assimilation, without association without assimilation. That is the natural law, which is eternally constant. Therefore, a piece of clay molded into a kitchen god, a land deity, a fortune god and worshipped becomes efficacious, that is because of the seeing nature of the universe and our seeing nature is in concord and that results in efficaciousness. There is no efficaciousness without faith, because there is no assimilation without concord. If a piece of clay or wood... shaped into a Buddha, Its efficaciousness depends largely on the degree of generosity, of honesty and on the case.

Because the universe has knowledge, that is the perception. The previous Buddhas who have attained the Buddhahood have only recommended the prayer for the Buddha so that human beings could maintain their integrity and live in peace and free from disasters. For those who practice well, reciting the dharma means reciting the hearing-seeing-knowing, correcting their character and bad habits to acquire afterward the essential mind knowing it well and dissolve it into the Tathagata to be together with the Tathagata or the God to attain the Tathagata Buddha's knowledge.

Just like a small drop of seawater that is worth nothing in comparison with the immense ocean, but when added to the sea it is completely dissolved because it is the same combination. Analyzing a drop of seawater shows its content of calcium, sodium, and iron... that is the same as that of the sea. That is why a drop of seawater and the large ocean can be unified, and communicated with each other like the father and the son. We can draw a reliable conclusion by that fact. There can be union and communication between a small human being and an immense universe, like the Buddhas' love, compassion and heartiness toward living creatures. Knowing that, the living creatures can communicate with the saints, understand the bodhisattvas and attain the Buddha hood. That is also the unification of the animal world.

Consequently, the Blessed One has taught: “All living creatures have the Buddha nature.”

It is by leaving their ego and possession that living creatures can then communicate with the Tathagata or the universe and recognize its liveliness and wonderfulness, and that is an unthinkably immense treasure. It is clear that the universe and we ourselves are “two-but-one.” The one, which is also the two, likes the shape and the shadow. When you understand thoroughly the birth and death, there is no more birth and death at all. Without birth and death, that is immortality. Being immortal, you have the right to know the time when you return to the world like changing your dirty clothes for a wash. Though coming back to the world the Bodhisattva does not lose his past abilities and merits. The old way is well attained and all things are thoroughly returned to him by the universe. How wonderful the animal world is. Everywhere, from the past through the present to the future is ceaselessly admitted and transformed by the animal world.

Just like a word or an act in the past, the present and the future are stored intact in the tathagata until a favorable condition when it reappears. Therefore, the Buddhist master looking at the manifestation of the dharma nature can knows exactly the real former life in the past and also knows exactly where it will go to after death without any error.

The bodhisattvas observes in detail, clears up the bad habits and does not cling to the form-hearing-odor-taste and can perfectly attain the enlightenment of the animal world. After being cleared from the six paths only remains the way of animal world, which combines to become the Buddha's dharma body, which is also truly the nation of full attainment of the Great Eight Pari Nirvana.

Therefore, the bodhisattva has to lean on the manifestation of the animal world to penetrate thoroughly the dharma world. For the living creatures not yet acquiring the truth, not yet attested by the Buddhas still plunged in the flesh desire and sense desire. They should practice for resolution; accomplish the virtue of the saints and sages before continuing their practice for enlightenment. Living creatures and those who practice for the second vehicle should not go in their own way to the formless. Otherwise, they would sink in the false hope, greed, sexual desire, which are disastrous for the animal world and lead to hell.

In 1990, he has manifested his cerebra-vascular incident. He has ordered the Devadatta descendants to beat and drive away all the surrounding true disciples who were taking care of Him. The intensity of the violence had grown more and more. Every time the Central group came to take care of Him, they were beaten and expelled by the impetuous Devadatta descendants. The disciples have just realized that the form and formless are a great difficulty to overcome; they have to observe carefully and penetrate well the dharma world to know when the proper time for nursing is and when they have to keep themselves away. If they felt it difficult and gave up their work, that was the extinction of the dharma. Otherwise, not coming in the right time and undergoing the beating and the chasing that was the birth of the dharma. To acquire the no-birth there must be a high self-enlightenment. That was too delicate and difficult. Later, answering the true disciples’ questions if he has brought about such a chaos, he said:

“Without that, how can i realize those belonging to the evil faculty of the Devadatta descendants and those of good faculty who could succeed me to be the patriarchs." He just delivered these two verses:

The situation is now really exposed The Orient has got insight into his teaching, without saying a word. –T.V.

After wonderful application of His sickness to give an examination, he has ordinated the bodhisattvas, saints and sages to succeed in practicing for founders. The Devadatta descendants were then disposed to return to the evil faculty of their species and receive with justice. That is the third examination.

Finally, He has concluded that in the Supreme vehicle there is only one that has attained the supreme enlightenment to be guided in the bodhisattva rank to achieve the mahasattva and become the Buddha transmitting the true dharma. There is only one, not two, that was chosen and he said: “I have not enough time to convert two bodhisattvas.”

Most disciples of the outer circle knew nothing about it and only few disciples of the inner circle are aware of his wonderful application of the formless to save completely the living creatures nature, they do not recognize his discreet ordainment. We can see by that there is a great distance between the bodhisattvas and the arahants. What a maha-bodhisattva says, the arahants of the inner circle spend a whole life to comprehend, but still in vain.

Only the sensible disciples even to a slight movement and act, a simple word could understand somewhat the Buddhas' wonderful applications, and comprehend the Buddha's intention. How difficult it is!
