•  “National Kings”: The Kings who inherit the throne from their fathers.

• “Popular Kings”: The Kings who are elected by the people.

• “Master Kings”: The Kings in the Divine worlds. Most of them are talented, and also called Brilliant Kings. Their people live in abundance.

• “Powerful Kings”: The Kings in Fairyland, also called Fairy Chiefs, have higher supernatural power than other Fairies and thus are very much respected. Their people live plentifully; precious wealth has already been had everywhere.

• “Conservative Master Kings”: The Kings of Hell use the three evil ways to rule their people. Those who dare to forthrightly tell the truth to be constructive are oppressed or killed immediately.

• “Heavenly Worlds”: The King of Heaven is called the Brahman King. In another Heaven, the King is called Indra; in another the King is called Self-Mastery King. People in the Heavenly worlds are all happy.

• “Dragon world”: An invisible world, with a dragon head on the body and a hot-tempered nature.

Northern Communism firmly believed in the working-class policy, so rapidly and strongly pushing it forward that everyone—from the old to the young, the healthy to the weakened sick, the intellectual to the illiterate—joined the movement to cross the borders by sea, escaping from their native country where they had been nourished and grown up. They ran away without thinking of return, even if they had only a faint hope leading them to a safe place!   

When Lenin triumphed over the Tsar, he sent 1 million of the Tsar's soldiers to Siberia to   build a city in this region of year-round snow and ice. Only 5000 people survived the construction of that city. That is the consequence of forced labor without sufficient nourishment, illness without drugs, and bitter cold without clothes and blankets to warm the body.

Although there was no Siberian city in Vietnam as in the Soviet Union, the Russian Communists’ guide remained very effective, with many sublime techniques to govern the Southern people: rice—the main food—and other essential necessities were all managed by the State; there were governmental cooperatives everywhere. All kinds of usual items became forbidden nationally. The Southern people then experienced the impasse of life circumstances and extreme poverty.

In this period, when a dog was given a bone, it would be appreciative and wag its tail when it saw you the next day. On the contrary, when people were given a piece of meat, they also wanted to empty the giver’s pocket after finishing eating, went to the giver’s house and expelled the giver’s whole family.

Reverend Tịnh Vương Nhất Tôn, incarnating Lord Maitreya Himself, sympathized with the Southern people's living conditions, and also told all of us to know that those things have to develop in such a way in the South during the Degenerate-Life Period. 

A manifesting scene characterizes each period, but in this Period of Return and Degenerate Life, evil is transpiring so extremely that it makes humankind awaken and repent, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”

When the True Dharma was passed down to the Fifth Patriarch period in China, Shen Hsiu invented a pattern of practice through ceremonial rites which enchanted living beings. They also practiced Tao Dharma, but led humankind in the wrong direction, losing the orientation of practice for liberation through knowing, seeing, and solving. Humankind therefore gradually worshipped supernatural efficacy, not practicing in conformity with sincere nature. There was another weakness in the Degenerate-Life Period: Humankind venerated the material in the extreme, knowing only the material, so they readily lost their morality whenever faced with a difficulty or obstacles; they also ran after the manifestations of ambition, and enjoyed desire. The Dharma practice path was therefore lost, and naturally, so was orthodoxy[41]. Some of them were still amazed and complained about their fates and lives.

The Tao practitioners with rooted capability, on the contrary, thoroughly knew the place of Return and Equal Salvation was fully miraculous; they were ceaselessly diligent in their practice, because they knew that it was the final period of heaven and earth. The cyclical law of the Universe never comes to a standstill; once arriving at the extremes of thousands and thousands of Dharmas, it is called doomsday. It is naturally transformed into a new stage in which the True Dharma appears. Lord Maitreya Himself knew it thoroughly without missing anything, so the Lord still calmly, secretly, and mutually empathized with the Buddhas of ten directions during this sacred last time when the Great Heaven Earth would transform itself into a peaceful, beautiful, and bright restoration.

Now the time of present practical truth has come; the helpful Dharma of equal salvation of the Eastern-Salvation Appearing-Enlightenment Medicine-Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata has come to life! In this Appearing Enlightenment’s world, there was a lack of many lovely children because of tragedies, so Reverend Tịnh Vương, incarnating Lord Maitreya, had to remember the Great Ceremony of the 30th day of the 9th month sorrowfully.[42]

South Vietnam was deserted and dreary after 1975. The people’s morale was sorrowful, a dark, mourning curtain covered the country, and mournful lamentations were heard everywhere. In the eyes of a Meditation Master emerging from contemplation, He could see under the stratum of clouds in the sky a layer of dreadful ice-cold air spreading all over. He then knew that it was the ascending of people's complaints and plaintive voices. The doors of Hell in the secular world were rising so high that even Devas were frightened.

The 20th day of the 2nd month of the lunar year of 1979, the Police of Nha Trang City pulled down the board:
