First Events After Enlightenment
The pure renunciate Yaouye Ri, of noble origin and possessing all marks of a great man, educated from childhood in western spirituality, mysticism and ethics, after leaving New York City in 2016, and subsequently being rejected from the sangha of ascetic Dafa practitioners, wandered about aimlessly. After five years of wandering in and out of the ordinary human world, experiencing homelessness, begging for food in London one returned from Czechia and France to his paternal home to take refuge from the dangerous plague that descended on the humankind.
Rejecting the teachings and practices that did not offer direct answers to achieving Enlightenment one studied and contemplated various philosophies and spiritual theories. Rejecting the wrong ones and keeping the ideas that allowed one to see through the maze of ordinary reality. It was late summer, when one sat on the sofa in Pressburg, drinking tea and had a spiritual awakening lasting three days.
On the first day, when one was contemplating the misery of human life and seeing no escape from the suffering of earthly existence, one had an auspicious vision two bódhisattvas appearing. They were Minghui from Heilongjiang by one’s left side and Hui from Beijing by one’s right side. Having had visions of various divine beings and their disciples practicing austerities, beings having various motives and states of mind which were all above the human realm. They taught one different cultivation techniques and passed on heavenly teachings at their respective levels. Then one took a walk with his dog by the Danube river absorbing the water into one’s spiritual body and thus eriching one’s realm.
On the second day, after achieved insights into various supernatural abilities, as this was a culminatyion of divine teachings that were transmitted in Prague. Exiting the auspicious divine state one poured for his dog two bowls of water on the balcony. Afterwards one came down to the fourth floor, where one had a simple vegetarian meal with rice, tofu and soy sauce, prepared by one’s grandmother and delivered by one’s grandfather.
On the third day, sitting cross legged on the bed, at the fifth floor of one’s family home, one achieved the ultimate awakening with cosmic wisdom. Entering the stream one thus became a Buddha. Understanding various states of human existence on different levels and in different realms one was reborn into the world as a member of the auspicious Enlightened human race.
