9.4 The Supreme Virtuous Merit Dignity

Having a high spirit due to the spirit of ascending transfer with the mind of vowing to dissolve unconsciousness, annihilating doubt attachment, clearing the wasteland to gradually progress—to make the unknown clearly known, to make the unclear become clear, that is the place of tranquility, eternal happiness. Those who are living and know how to live like that, are not the ordinary ones. Why? It is because there is an ordinary manner of each land precept, such as in the human world there is an ordinary aspect of the human world; in the Heaven (Divine) world, consolidating the Divine precept is an ordinary of the heaven, too. Through the perception of the eye, every place is ordinary, from all over the worlds, the precept scenes to the Salvaged Nation and the Tranquility-for-Salvation World. Why? Because there is still a precept, there is its ordinary manner. It is only by ascendingly transferring all the virtuous merits, all the effortful labor of Dharma practice, all the abundant main forces to offer to the Tathagata, that is the very highest, immeasurable virtuous merit, the boundless and endless enlightenment—the Supreme Dignity. —T. V.

C. DOCTRINE

Despite their long practice, a Tao practitioner unable to get out of the Dharma precepts’ belt is still ordinary. Therefore, in the Divine world, Fairy world: though leaving the earth precept to go to the Divine precept or Fairy precept, one cannot be free from Dharma precepts. They are still sunk in the transmigration of birth and death. In spite of the magic and supernatural power, the god, deva, or fairy, when still in a precept, is still caught in the birth-death, death-birth.

Only by ascendingly transferring the virtuous merits to the Tathagata, being together with the Tathagata in the Supreme Dignity that is the highest, unthinkable. Those who know how to illuminate the mystery of ignorance, to clear the wasteland of ignorance are not the ordinary ones. That’s because they accept to exchange all for the integration to the perfect integration of Dharma precepts. Even in the earth precept of this secular world or in the Divine precept of the Heaven world, the instinct offering the virtuous merit to the Tathagata is essential to seek the Bodhi Miraculous Fruit. That is the immeasurable and boundless virtuous merit, the Supreme Dignity of Virtuous Merit.

The Meditation Master stretches out His hand to pick up a branch of leaves, then reseats Himself on the block of stone with a natural sympathetic countenance, He says: “The form has been liberated for a long time. The vegetation, the mountain and river, the flower and fruit, all still fulfill their task of nourishing humanity. Now I am speaking about the liberated mind, but who of the human world can know Me? They are just looking at each other with ordinary eyes. It is enough for Me to know Myself. Why? Because it is like that. When The World’s Most Venerable still incarnated Himself in the world, human beings might not see in the Lord as the Supreme One. The Lord said out that there might not be someone who believed in Him. At that time, the Supreme Spirit along with the Equality of the Enlightenment rank, only the Lord could profoundly understand the Lord. The Lord has entered the Nirvana; His speech has been brilliant; His words have become precious pearls. How noble it is! The Lord’s dignity with immeasurable virtuous merits has become Precious Relics.” —T. V.

The Lord of Supreme Will heartily accomplished His task. And now The World’s Most Venerable Maitreya succeeding must fulfill His duty; as long as living beings turn to the heart of liberation, they are still satisfied without any difference. They are still able to live in the ocean of truth, providing that Tao practitioners in the Period of Return unanimously vow to make up their mind generously to ascendingly transfer their virtuous merit dignity.

I brightly declare that all Tao practitioners seeking for the Miraculous Fruit have to ascendingly transfer their virtuous merits to make offerings to the Tathagata. Those are the Supreme words. —T. V.

Those are sincere words of The World’s Most Venerable Maitreya giving advice to human beings in this Period of [His] Return with all His heart.
