• One day, when the Lord went downtown with His disciples, it was raining. The Lord looked at the sky saying: “God helps me to stop rain so that I could finish my work in the town.” The rain immediately stopped, the clouds dispersed, and the warm sunshine came.

• One time in the Nha Trang airport, when the plane was about to take off, the sky became cloudy, strong wind blew suddenly, and it rained torrentially. Due to bad weather, the airport cancelled the flight, and the passengers were advised to return home and wait for the next announcement. The Lord then told His disciples not to go home, then He pointed His hand up to the sky. Suddenly in the sky, flashes of lightning appeared, and in less than a minute the wind stopped, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. The passengers, after claiming their luggage, had not yet gone home; the airport then announced that the plane was ready to take off again. It was warm and sunny that day.

• One day, I accompanied the Lord from Nha Trang to the Meditation Monastery of A Đề forest in Phú Hữu hamlet, Vĩnh Ích village of Ninh Hòa district. On the way back, we were standing on the roadside, waiting for the bus. Surrounded by the open-field, the rain began to fall, and we had nothing to cover our head and no place to take shelter. But, around the place we were standing, a circle of 1.50 meter in diameter did not contain one drop of rain. The rain formed itself into a circle on the asphalt road and the water fell completely outside the circle, while the inside remained dry without any water drops. When the bus coming, we boarded the bus, the rain started to fall inside the circle.

• Living in Nha Trang, the Lord helped Khánh Hòa province, many times, dissolve storms, avoiding misery to the people while the police of Nha Trang kept taking down His sign plate, forbidding Him to teach the Tao Dharma! And they always waited for a reason to put Him in jail.

• The Lord also used meditation to effectively cure many diseases of His true disciples and faithful followers’ relatives. In many cases, but here, I only mention a particular case as follows:

Mr. Diệp Ngọc Châu was a southerner who came to work in Nha Trang. His 4 years old son could not sit and stand since his body was flabby and his skeleton was very weak. Mr. Châu was an atheist, and he named his son Diệp Ngọc Hoàng (that means Diệp the God). Mr. Châu’s family was wealthy, but the doctors gave up and were unable to cure the boy. One day, informed by one of his acquaintances, he came to ask the Lord to cure his son.

The Lord used meditation to help the boy stand and walk normally and He told Mr. Châu to change the name of Ngọc Hoàng to another name immediately. Later the boy grew up and was intelligent in school. Mr. Châu has since repented and become a faithful Buddhist disciple.

• Every time He came to visit a province, it had torrentially rained the previous night. Nevertheless, the next morning, traffic moved smoothly on the clean roads and the air became wonderfully fresh. There were also many things the Lord wonderfully utilized, and yet no amount of books could ever tell them all.

• Mrs. Tạng Hiếu in Qui Nhơn was one of His faithful disciples. Her mother-in-law, who was frequently ill and very weak, wished to have more time to meet her child. Her mother-in-law came and asked the Lord for help. The Lord made her live for one more twelve years cycle. After that, she recovered and went on to live a normal life. Twelve years exactly passed, she was very satisfied and came gratefully to greet the Lord before returning to die in her native village. The Lord praised and asked her why she did not request more years in spite of just greeting. Mrs. Tạng Hiếu's husband was Food Provincial Deputy Chief of the Communist in the province of Bình Định.

• One day, Ms. Phương Thảo, who was residing in Ngô Thời Nhiệm Street, Saigon, invited Reverend Sangha Chief to come to her house in the evening so that she could offer a meal. On the visiting day morning, I early came to observe. As I entered the living room, I saw the spirit of her mother who died more than 10 years ago, coming to greet me in an uncomfortable mood. I asked her, through my thoughts, why she died and she said that she died of heart disease in Grall hospital, Saigon. Meanwhile, Ms. Phương Thảo was walking beside me without seeing her mother.

I told the story to Ms. Phương Thảo. She was doubtful and said that the Tây Ninh Holy House saved her mother to the Fairyland. I affirmed that her mother’s spirit was still living in the house, and unable to be reincarnated.

In the evening, Reverend Sangha Chief came and saw her mother’s spirit still living in the house, too. The Lord told her to light three incenses so that He could request two (invisible) Dharma Protectors around Him to guide Ms. Phương Thảo’s mother to the Tây Ninh Holy House where she could hear the recitation of sutras in all day long. Ms. Phương Thảo then wept and asked the Lord, He taught that:

Only those, who have cleared their living beings’ natures and possessed sufficient virtue of Bodhisattvas’ rank upwards, are able to free others (dead people). As for those who are still practicing the nature correction with polluted natures still remaining, they have not finished salvaging their own natures, that is, they do not have sufficient power to salvage for others — They could not save themselves completely; how could they save the others?

•  Charity [salvaging Hell]: Giving alms to the poor and making offers to the Triple Gem of Buddhism will obtain happy blessed rewards.  If meeting the Sacred Monk to make offerings with sincerity, one will have good results at present and in the future. If giving Dharma, knowing how to speak beneficial words of rooted goodness so that those who are in suffering circumstances will be relieved from anxiety and suffering. That is making offerings to the Tathagata and the Buddhas. Such efforts will save one’s own living being natures and that of others. Resultingly, this one will be liberated from hell, and from hardship and suffering of the secular world. Giving alms without showing off or spinning a long yarn, called the Pāramitā Charity, will be rewarded with complete salvation from hell. Building temples and stupas for living beings to have a place practicing Tao Dharma is also a way of charity to make offerings to the Buddhas.

•   Keeping precepts [salvaging hungry ghosts]: For the Lord, the precept that He often taught the Four Followers to observe: “Every cruelty, no matter how small, must be eliminated. Every good thing, though small, must be done.”

The seeds of hungry ghosts’ natures are usually unrestrained, speak carelessly, and spend wastefully or stingily; they often like flatterers, who are on money purpose; they often dislike those who contradict their thoughts. Those are the world of hungry ghosts. The Lord taught them must keep the precept to self-correct the nature of unrestraint, use solemnness to self-relieve oneself from carelessness — all are aiming at being liberated from the hungry ghosts. Being of sincere mind to solve careless speech, often helping our surrounding people to correct themselves, is a way to be liberated from the rooted hungry ghosts. That’s precisely the “keeping precepts.”

•  Diligence [savaging animalism Dharmas]: Diligence is a very effective Dharma subject used to resolve the polluted mind. Diligence saves animalism Dharmas. Animalism is the cravings, the desires, the dreams, and the lust. It originates from the form such as: fame, material, money, love, … From the form, enjoyable seeing gives rise to love, then to lust, one is therefore never willing to leave it. This is called loved attachment. The loved attachment produces loved passion, which is polluted. For example, the wish for unreal fame mistaken in position and reputation for one’s satisfaction is called the root of animalism. Attached to the form, one becomes happy when they succeed; but when losing position and [unreal] reputation, [no longer possessing the form], the mind of misery and resentment against life is immediately generated, one falls in the animalism and is closer to hell. Suffering and complaining about life readily generates the mind of creating wicked acts, which lead to the receiving torturous punishment of one’s deeds in hell.

•  Endurance of dishonors [salvaging Asura]: When being angry and hot-tempered, ignorance is often produced, burning away all developed, accumulated virtuous merits. Because of hot temper, the karma of arguments, anger and hatred are formed, that induces the cause and effect of birth–death, death–birth. Endurance of dishonors helps to overcome hot tempers, which is called the salvation of Asura. Asura destroys the field of blessed rewards. Only Tao practitioners, who know how to endure dishonors, are able to save the hot temper of Asura. In fact, the practitioners, though reciting sutra for many decades and being on a continuous vegetarian diet, but not paying special attention to correct their hot temper, their karma still ceaselessly increases. Once the seed of angry temper nature is annihilated, the suffering karma is no longer produced, and one is no longer lost on the three evil paths of the hungry ghost, animal, and hell. The Asura Tao covers and obscures the Buddha nature, hindering it from appearing. Tao practitioners, therefore, need to endure dishonors to be saved through integration.

•  Buddhist Intelligence [savaging human beings]: The Human Path ranks first in their attachment among the Six Paths. Human treasures humanity, politeness, gratitute, intelligence, and reliability. They readily oppose a thing that is different from their point of view; when hearing what is disagreeable, they immediately feel hateful and denigrate it, and thus become solidly attached. Therefore, the more educated they are, the more they believe themselves to be right, the more they have a big ego, and the more they become solidly attached. Human makes use of their intelligence to study and become intellectual. They then immediately have their own reasons for life and readily oppose different ones. Thus, they have their boundaries called the Dharma precepts. Being attached is naturally clinging and that is very difficult to dissolve. That is a serious sickness, making one often doubtful, often expressing oneself, causing insane confusedness, and being unable to get results in one’s Dharma practice. Attachments and doubts of human beings are so numerous that it is impossible to enumerate all of them. A Tao practitioner must make use of their wisdom to dissolve doubts and attachments to salvage living beings, in order to get the basic Buddhist intelligence[73] to follow the knowing-seeing path. Being able to recognize one’s personality attached, one will be no longer confused, and their Dharma practice will be no longer separated from the essence of nature, it is rather practiced in conformity with reality. The Dharma practice, using the intellect from education, only helps to practice for the Blessed Rewards.

• Meditation [salvaging Deva]: Meditation is a salvation subject of the Divine Tao. The practice by supplicating and praying is that of the Low Level (Hinayana). According to each true disciple’s rooted capability, the Lord usually allowed them to sit semi-cross-legged to recite the Buddhas’ Appellations for one year before He taught them the meditation along with the doctrine teaching in every week. This makes the practitioner perceive that meditation aims to settle the thoughts and temper, and through meditation, the practitioner becomes clear-sighted to resolve family and workplace affairs more reasonably—it’s not looking for miracles through meditation.

When not realizing that the object of meditation is intuition, a meditator easily is in the situation of “all of one’s energy is escaped and the devil is entering,” and easily become mad because meditation is a very dangerous practice. Practicing the right way, meditation is immeasurably useful, so it is important to learn meditation from the one who has been mind-transmitted. From now on, in the Period of Return and Dharma-Ending, there has already had the Mind-Seal, we should not be afraid of losing the way because during His 37 years of executing the Tao Dharma, Reverend Tịnh Vương Nhất Tôn, incarnating Lord Maitreya, representing the Three Postures, has carefully, clearly and meticulously handed it down to the posterity. The path now has been showed and the object has been evident, it just needs to wait for a Tao practitioner with their sincere and earnest mind, who will certainly meet the Bodhisattva who saves them efficiently.
