A Christian bishop came to ask Venerable Master Chin Kung on the
issue of the end of the world and anti-Christ. Venerable Master
Chin Kung replies that it is not other people that rejected
Christian. It is Christian rejecting Christian. In a broader sense,
it is religionist rejecting religionist, that causes the end of the
world attitude. Education no longer teaches moral concepts, but
useless knowledge; Media teaches the evil concept of self, greed,
hatred and ignorance. teaches killing, lust, stealing,
intoxications, and lying.
Sooner or later the root of moral concepts will be uprooted; how
can there not have the issue of end of the world. American empire
fall not because of terrorist but because of the tv media. Now the
Internet media is even worst.
Children fight when they are young; upgrade it becomes a battle;
upgrade it becomes a war; upgraded it become end of the world.
Sociality is walking into a path of grave and had reached a point
where less can be made. Family education had fail; School education
had fall; Society education had too fall; except a last hope on
Religion education.
Religionist don't reject religionist, Christian don't reject
Christian. Buddhist sects don't reject Buddhist sects. Buddhist
sects now no longer interact with each other. We must know that
Shakyamuni Gotama, the Buddha, passed down our teachings. He is
like our father, and different sects are like siblings. Bother and
sisters no longer love each other; imagine how our father felt when
he sees this. We are a big family; other religions are like our
cousins. We should treat all as one big family. Buddhism is
the eye; Christian is the
nose; Moslem is the mouth; Hinduism is the ear etc; all are but one
face; all are number one, nobody is number two.
This is the forth most attitude that we must uphold. This is
meaning of religionist anti religionist, not other religion
anti-ing one religion. God loves all people, not God loves
his believers only. I am part of all people, and I love all people.
God and me are but one compassionate love. Believers only love God
but dislike all people. You and God had different ideas of love,
how can God love you back. God talks on love; Buddha talks on
compassion are all base on one unconditional emptiness. This is the
meaning of anti-Christ.
It's sad thing to see that people are arguing about wrong and right
when only our mind makes it so. Pointing people mistakes, when one
should be pointing at one's own deluded mind. If we want the world
to be good. start from oneself and don't aspect others to start
first.
Ps: One had even communicated with the spirits. Spirits had already
turned over a new leaf; only human are still so stubborn and
deluded. Hence when the spirits are liberated, we human shall take
over their places. The bad karma that we now create is more than a
100 times more than that of the pass karma that the spirits had
created.
However we should not under estimate the power of repentance.
During Buddha's time, there's a evil person who breaks the five
inhabitants states of deprivation, but repented in his later life
was then liberated to Amitabha Pureland in Top middle class!!! It's
a skeptical truth but real. We might think at least a Bottom lower
class is more suitable for those who committed evils, but no, he
repented to a Top middle class. So we should not look down on
evil
peoples, as we might not imagine that he/she might attain a higher
realisation at the very last moment.
