I was present when she was telling the stories. The Lord kept silent, not mentioning these stories, and urged her to practice through correcting one's nature in this period. When she bowed to the Lord and left, I saw the Lord stand up, adjust His dress correctly and burn seven agarwood incenses on the altar of the Three Postures of Buddhas. The seven incenses represented the Seven Gems—the matchless power of the Buddhas of Ten directions.

The Lord attested for the Dharma-Ending Age: the extremely unruly Dharmas of living beings qualified as the doomsday. Living beings used their two hands and their intelligences to build their work, not believing in the Buddha, so there was no corresponding supernatural efficaciousness: this was right to them. As actions challenged Buddhas, Saints, and Deities, these superiors were still joyfully and generously detached, but, if we cultivate orange seeds and takes care of them, they will become orange trees and we shall harvest sweet oranges. Growing a chili and taking care of it, we shall harvest spicy chilies, yet we can not blame it on anyone nor ask why.

Once the act, speech, or thought of living beings has passed, everyone thinks it no longer exists. But it does not disappear for the Meditation Master, who understands it well. Indeed, the act, speech, and thought of every living being are conserved in each case of the Tathagata Constitution, which naturally gives them back to living beings at the right time. Recently, scientists discovered that human speech and acts are not lost, but run around in the space of the universe.

Years later, the Hanoi press could not dissimulate everything, and occasionally announced that Northern Vietnam had to continuously cope with natural disasters, violent storms, and floods described as the cruelest of the century. The very severe nature of the century ravaged more terribly than ever in the history of the development and existence of the Vietnamese people, causing serious material losses for the North, especially bringing about grave spiritual injuries, making them very anxious and frightened.

Sometimes the press published: “Nature does not favor us. We must be on guard to prevent and to struggle against storms.” In the eyes of a Meditation Master, they can only be on guard to prevent, but cannot struggle against storms. One beautiful morning, ten years later (in 1989), the Lord said and I heard these words:

       “Now, people believe in the Buddha, and return to the temples in large numbers.”

Living beings’ natures became more and more evil and polluted with cruelty and they therefore could no longer absorb the original quintessence, which is a very necessary living substance in the universe. Human longevity has been thus reduced. If left alone, the bad character increases with time, while human longevity decreases until only ten years a lifetime remains. Therefore, the Buddhas have to discreetly salvage them, making them leaving off this pollution of cruelty. With better natures, humankind can absorb more original quintessence and their longevity will gradually increase again.

The Truly Enlightened One is the One who has mastered His way of birth and death and become immortal, belonging to the Supreme Path of Buddha Level (Buddhayana). This One has neither hatred nor love, and is neither good nor evil. He often miraculously uses Dharmas to bring good things and the supreme goodness of perfection to living beings, and that’s good enough for Him. The Gentle Saints, at the level of enlightened truth, are only pupils and lack the capability to fulfill. Therefore, they could not deeply understand the complete salvation of living beings by the Buddha-Tathagata-God, despite being at His side.
