15.3 The Way of Reincarnating the Dead
You should also know: For someone who already has had the field of good fortune and faith to do good things, there will be a place to attest it, and a Holy One to sponsor it. At their death, their subconscious ascends into the emptiness, and their mouth immediately recites the name of the religion of their faith, such as: ‘I'm respectfully kowtowing to God,’ or ’I’m respectfully waiting for the Deity or for the meeting with the Holy’ (praying according to their faith). Then there is an immediate light. A pink light means the way to the Deity world; a blue light, to the Heaven world to be a citizen; a white light, to the Heaven world to be a mandarin, and a yellow light, to the Tranqility-for-Salvation World.

Reverend Tịnh Vương Incarnating Lord Maitreya Confirms That There Is Rebirth
Sometimes there is a very good human, but their faith is not firm enough so that when ascending to the emptiness, they become happy and wander throughout the universe, and yet could not witness any world or precept scene. Later, their mind becomes less at ease and less dull, sometimes awake and sometimes dreamy, seeing the place they remembered, they then immediately either come to reside in a village Deity’s shrine and become a Mountain Deity of the human world, or return to the mankind world after meeting the multicolor light, being reborn in a rich family to continue the Dharma practice.
On the contrary, there are others who are very good, but indulge themselves and sink into debauchery in teahouses and brothels. While alive, they have a lot of friends in many places, and they usually amuse themselves together with their friends. In the state of wandering everywhere mentioned previously, they then come to an enjoyable place with singing, eating, and dancing, and immediately join the group there. Having a passion for it for a long time, they are still covered by a curtain and reborn in the animals’ world. If elegant and noble ways of playing with abundant and eminent virtuous merits, they will be reborn happily in the Six Desire Heavens. —T. V.
This extract of a sutra, noted by Reverend Tịnh Vương, and passed down to the 20th century, proves that death is not the end for humans. They have to pay for their acts and words in the world, and are reborn in a place in proportion to what they have created. Tao practitioners with an abundance of virtuous merits are compassionate to erroneous living beings; they never have the thought or deed to hurt any living being. Humans have the right to not believe in religion or Tao practitioners, but if they intend to affront or harm a virtuous Tao practitioner, the consequences will be immeasurable for many lifetimes. They will be in doleful circumstances in the present and eternally in hell in the future. Here are the two events occurring in Nha Trang:
Mr. Cũng, security agent of Tân Lập ward of Nha Trang city, did not like Reverend Tịnh Vương, and established a document of accusation to arrest the Lord. I was, at that time, in re-education camp A-30. There was a collision between the Most Venerable with virtue as large as the sea, and a living being without any field of blessing. Mr. Cũng suddenly, at his work, had a grave accident to his spine. He was bedridden, unable to sit and walk like before. What a catastrophe! The end of good fortune in this world, and hell was awaiting him!
Mr. Cũng’s descendant succeeded Mr. Cũng. In 1980, when I returned from the re-education camp, Mr. Descendant called me to the ward of Tân Lập, and told me to write a report on my family situation and my practice of Tao Dharma. I knew that he intended to find a reason to arrest Reverend Tịnh Vương. I said:
“The thing passed over, and everyone has a settled life now. It is no use recalling bygones.” Knowing my refusal Mr. Descendant said, “If you write the report, I will arrange so that you and your four children can buy rice at the government price of 5 dimes a kilo.” At that time, every family had to earn, with real sweat, its daily rice ration. A person could only supply the food for themselves, not for two or three others. I myself also had an uneasy life, and my family was always in financial difficulty. On a day we did not work, we had no rice to eat. But I was not happy to hear that I could buy the rice at a low price. I knew it was a challenge, and if I were not wise, I would lose all my virtuous merits cultivated through countless lives, because living beings could never understand profoundly the Tao practitioner who sought enlightenment. The ward lady secretary said that I was an educated man but I was very stupid. Others wondered how I could be such an idiot to follow Mr. Tịnh Vương Master. I still kept silent and went home.
Mr. Descendant then established a document to arrest the Lord in another way. But, he suddenly suffered from cirrhosis ascites and had to go to the hospital. People who caught this disease would normally die in two years. But Mr. Descendant did not live much longer than 20 days. Among the citizens of Mới market, Nha Trang, it was rumored that Mr. Descendant looked very horrible in his death. Seeing people gather behind his house, I also looked in. His abdomen was enlarged, his mouth agape, and his eyes were open with a ferocious expression. This was conclusive evidence of him going to hell—his retribution.
Later, the local authorities came and asked Mr. Descendant's family to take down the altar of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and replace it with a picture of Hồ Chí Minh. The local Communist party took charge of his burial and granted some privileges. His family complied with the Communist party.
In this case, it’s sure that he was penalized in hell without knowing the day he would be freed. In this Degenerate-Life Period, there are numerous strata of Tao practitioners, as well as those who do not practice Tao Dharma, being attached to emptiness. They do not believe in the transmigration of birth and death, and in the Deities, Holies, Gods, or Buddhas. For them, death is the end, because they do not practice meditation, or they practice it incompletely without obtaining the determined result. For them, once their parents, grandparents, and relatives die, they reach the end. Annually, on the full-moon day of the 7th lunar month, Reverend Tịnh Vương, incarnating Lord Maitreya, usually held a ceremony to liberate spirits for His true disciples' defunct relatives. When the names were called, if they were not reborn, they would meet the Dharma Protectors, who would bring them to the Great Ceremony to take part, which astonished the disciples who were present.
