Heaven and Earth was created by one singular God in prehistory. With this construction came an inevitable problem. Lives that were not following the will of the Divine were to be eliminated. Angels in heavens realized that humans do have the means to change for the better. God thus created Hell. This environment is reserved for the lives that became corrupted, but still have a chance to ascend. This human environment within the three realms is one of such hells.
Cultivation of character is like a process of carbonating the water. In the past this process occurred naturally throughut the ages. Now if you take a flask and put bubbles in it the pressure rises. If one overdoes it the bottle might explode. How long does it take for the mineral water to become still again? You have to open the bottle and let the air sizzle out for quite some time. That is the idea.
Buddha Shakyamuni in his times achieved perfection of character that was far beyond ordinary. In the end he was poisoned and still not asked to stay by his closest disciples. His body gave up to the illusion, but his mind and his thoughts were preserved and disseminated for millenia. To this day conquering the minds of the uninitiated.
Jesus came from a different lineage. He too achieved perfection of character that was beyond ordinary. The testament of his though was exempolified when he willingly let go of his physical body. What he thaught was his Law that he enlightened to and all of what the thaught was only this one Law. His immeasurable heart of compassion was not concerned with an immediate return.
Some of our students had to leave their parental homes, in spite of their parents trying to persuade them to stay and help around. Like Sun Wukong they set out to achieve spiritual perfection overcoming many tribulations along the way. Some of them recently expressed their wishes to fulfill their duties of filial piety. For some, the time might be right, for others it might not be possible anymore due to the circumstances.
The impossiblity of achieving greatness immediately or progress lineary on the Divine path might create feelings of embarassment or depression. To conquer this state of mind is the true jihad. Prophets of the past needed to adapt to the circumstances of that times. Still, gloryfying the forcefull solutions, on a human level, all the time, is to be avoided as an incorrect state of mind. This interpretation of past events are left out for today’s people as a cautionary tale of how far are some people willing to go fighting with Heaven and Earth in their ignorance.
CCP’s communist propaganda machine is trying to destroy human minds. By exposing the lies and offering an alternative system of thought, young people nowadays can freely discern what is true and what is manipulation. Of course, the power of personal beliefs, commitments and predestined issues also do play a role in obtaining the true Law.
