Lesson 12 Divine Teachings Regarding Help for all beings, even the unborn; the creation of Buddhism and God’s decision not to reincarnate anymore

“[…] What is the meaning of ‘Raise high the flag of guidance for all living beings —the born and the unborn?’ It means that you have to help all living beings, including even the unborn. Why did you chase disciples away? Promise to admit! Open the door! Listen, all living beings: Formerly, I incarnated and created Buddhism almost six thousand years ago, and the Buddhist teachings have now been almost denatured. People even used to say that the Buddha did not teach. Today, I have decided not to incarnate anymore, but instead to use miracles to perfect Buddhism and to teach people. Thus, those living beings who do not wish to spiritually improve themselves and who will subsequently be punished in Hell will not deny their crimes and will not have any basis to blame Me by claiming that Buddha did not teach. You must know that if you do not take the opportunity of this THIRD UNIVERSAL SALVATION to improve yourself spiritually, you will have no more hope to be saved. […]”

Lesson 13 Divine Teaching of the Constant Spirit of God not matter what the Earthly circumstances. As well as advice to adepts to promote the salvation of humanity.

“[…] The spirit of the Divine is constant, regardless of the circumstances. That is what distinguishes you from the other, ordinary people. Ordinary people think of their birth country as their point of origin, even if they have not been there since they were children. However, the Saints think of Nirvana as their point of origin, even after they have incarnated into this world; otherwise, why would they deign to descend into this world to save ordinary human beings? You, too, could return to Nirvana if you cultivate yourself spiritually. To accomplish this, you should think about the millions of human beings who could not escape from the reincarnation cycle and have compassion toward them in order to save them. […]”

Lesson 14 Divine Teaching regarding Sakyamuni Buddha as Đức Cao Đài (Jade Emperor)/God coming to save living beings under the name Cao Đài Tiên Ông Đại Bồ Tát Ma Ha Tát.

“[…] This is now the time for THIRD UNIVERSAL SALVATION: Ngọc Hư Palace has ordered the saving of living beings. This was predicted clearly in the Buddhist Canon. You were not aware of it simply because you did not make the effort to discover it. Alas! Lots of people suffered by failed attempts at spiritual self-cultivation. It hurts Me! I am coming not only to save all living beings but also save other higher spirits such as Divine Spirits, Saints, Immortals, Buddhas who had to reincarnate to this world to complete their missions.

All living beings who have an opportunity to be with this THIRD UNIVERSAL SALVATION should try their best to cultivate their spiritual selves. Success depends on yourselves. The original Buddhist way of cultivation seemed completely wrong at the time. Living beings became confused and disoriented, following the false doctrine of Thần Tú for self-cultivation without success. I am coming to reveal to you this miraculous way. You need only follow it to attain enlightenment. Henceforth, you will not be able to blame anyone that you have not received My teachings.”
