I want to say that this plight of mankind lies not in the material aspect but rather in the spiritual aspect. The wasteland of spirit and soul is the real source of human suffering. SEEKING A HOMESTEAD FOR SPIRITS AND SOULS IS AN URGENCY FOR MANKIND. The blind pursuit of material acquisition can only be analogous to quenching one’s thirst with poisoned wine or stopping water from boiling by scooping it up and pouring it back in. Therefore, such acts will not only cause the ruin of the earth, but mankind itself.
An era is a demonic one if the dignity of a person is determined by the amount of money they have and the social position they have attained and if the value of one is not measured by their moral character and good deeds. A society is an evil one if it allows its citizens to become wealthy through speculation and plundering instead of with honest and diligent labor. A government is a despotic and satanic one if it spares no effort to force-out new thinking but attempts to lock people in an ignorant, barbaric, and savage world. A nation will be one that is void of wisdom and oriented toward insanity and destruction if it does not advocate dedication and love, but blindly instigates its people to use violence.
Man’s worries originate from ignorance and selfishness. From ignorance, we have invited demons in but shut the door to God and Buddha, and from selfishness, we have chosen wickedness but abandoned righteousness. A lot of good ideals and kind moralities are often snuffed out in the cradle. The desolation of the soul is the optimum soil to breed junk thought and religious plagues.
Today people are engulfed in information. Television, networks, newspapers and magazines, books, and lectures are infusing far more mountains of information into us than we can digest, thus causing intellectual indigestion, malnutrition, and ill health. The pursuit of knowledge has become a morbid hunger. The more we attempt to swallow down unthinkingly, the less we understand. Various media have become the fertile soil to cultivate ignorance and blind, manic adherence.
Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual perception, those literati have written rancid articles under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying culture forward, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality, and promoting benevolence, all under the disguise of adhering to “belief”, cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism. They have fabricated so much cultural garbage and so many spiritual drugs that it is impossible to clean them all up. The roughly manufactured scum has become our daily food for thought, which has directly distorted our values, destroyed our human environment, and polluted our naturally pure hearts.
Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati hangmen worship these rancid articles as classics under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality, and promoting benevolence, and all under the disguise of “adhering to belief”, cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism. As for those works of wisdom, which shine resplendently with thought, they look down upon them as “heresies” and wield their cultural butcher knives upon them without hesitation.
As for the Chinese people, on one hand you have been heaving sighs that China has become a land deserted by the Greatest Creator, but have you on the other hand acquired the broadness of mind to include great wisdom? Can you recognize Great Wisdom when it really “descends from heaven”?
I have an ideal that the Greatest Creator may enter China and the human world, that Christianity and Buddhism may regain their prevalence here, and that humanity may be restored on a beautiful land.
When conspiracy and tricks prevail over truth, justice is taunted, enthusiasm meets with contempt, reverence for the Greatest Creator is regarded as ridiculous, oppression and bullying are viewed as inviolable power, the hoodwinked masses are meanwhile branded as ignorant, freedom is slandered, life is trampled, right and wrong are reversed, black and white are confused, and good and evil people mix together, then in such situations we have no choice but to search the source of LIFE. Only in this way can we pierce through the indistinct murk and see the light. Only in this way can we steady the steer in the turbid and turbulent waves and ultimately reach the ocean of LIFE.
In this unusual time of superficial prosperity when actual crises are lurking everywhere, we are not yet in a position to sing praises to the virtues or merits. At a time when the journey is rough and treacherous, flattery and conservativeness cannot salvage us. Now is not yet the time when “the bank of injustice” has gone completely bankrupt. Any non-action and dawdling will only speed up the approach of “doomsday”. We will eventually lose our beautiful homesteads and splendid futures if we are only capable of destruction but are incapable of construction, if we do not know how to repay other people’s favors but are only bent on vengeance, and if we only want to acquire from others but do not know how to dedicate to others.
For many centuries, man’s blind behaviors have dug out an abyss which can engulf us at any moment and thus should be filled in. The sooner it is leveled off, the better we will be.
Reverence of the Greatest Creator and adherence to his Way is our only hope because it is only in front of the Greatest Creator that we can have equal human dignity. We must worship the Greatest Creator so that our minds will possess souls and our knowledge will be transformed into wisdom. Only in this way can we understand the meaning of LIFE and embark on the great road of LIFE.
You may lock yourself up in an ivory tower, lose yourself in piles of broken papers, and engross yourself in so-called academic research, thus placing yourself outside of social issues, and in so doing, you will seem to have entered a serene heaven, however, can you expect an egg to remain intact if the nest is overturned? Can you derive any great achievements from your research that may do any good to humankind? You will be poking your head inside a cave, leaving your hindquarter exposed, and fancying that what is not seen does not exist.
The unrealistic teaching or “truth” that blindly preaches the pursuit of happiness of future life is absurd and wicked. A person who always wears a smile is relentless at heart while a person who always drips tears is cruel at heart.
Children suffer from starvation and cannot afford education and the poverty-stricken have no money to treat their diseases while we manufacture various kinds of luxury products and one lifeless skyscraper after another. Is this not a mockery and blasphemy against LIFE?
If our neighbors have no freedom, we ourselves cannot obtain complete freedom. If they are suffering from starvation, we cannot fully enjoy dainty foods in our mouths. If people in remote areas are crying, we will not be able to quietly enjoy the comfort and luxuries of big cities.
I have an ideal. I will lead those who truly yearn for the Greatest Creator to Lifechanyuan, transform the jarring hullabaloo into a fraternal movement, and play the jovial symphony of LIFE.
I firmly believe that mankind can walk out of the dark spiritual canyon and wasteland, and enter an unprecedented beautiful field. I firmly believe that the soul will prevail over the flesh and that people will eventually obtain the freedom of body and mind and the serenity of LIFE.
This is not a golden fantasy for the remote future. The majestic tides are surging with a mighty momentum. Within their broad bosoms are contained colorful gems that can decorate our lives and make them more noble and beautiful. When the unexpected supernatural event comes, its mysterious power shall strike people’s heartstrings, vast fields will take on splendid coatings, polluted rivers will become clear and pure again, turbid skies will be changed into expanses of white clouds against blue, and free rhythms will reverberate in every inch of the land.
Eternal virtue remains with Jesus Christ! Supreme wisdom is ascribed to Sakyamuni! Eternal glory belongs to the Greatest Creator! |
