Enlightenment
In the muddy human world, pearls
and fish eyes are jumbled together. A Tathagata must descend to the world
quietly. When he teaches the Fa, evil practices are bound to interfere. The Dao
and the demonic ways are taught at the same time and in the same world. Amidst
truth and falsehood, enlightening is important. How to distinguish them? There
are bound to be exceptional people. Those who really have a predestined
relationship and can enlighten will come one after another, entering the Dao and
obtaining the Fa. They will distinguish the righteous from the evil, obtain true
teachings, lighten their bodies, enhance their wisdom, enrich their hearts, and
board the boat of the Fa, sailing smoothly. How wonderful! Strive forward with
every effort until Consummation.
Those who
survive the world without direction and with poor enlightenment quality live for
money and die for power, being joyful or anxious over petty gains. They compete
bitterly against each other, thus accruing karma throughout their lives. When
such people hear the Fa, they laugh at it and spit from their mouths the word
“superstition,” as they are bound to find it hard to understand and hard to
believe deep down inside. These people are the inferior persons who are
difficult to save. Their karma is so much that it has enveloped their bodies and
sealed off their wisdom; their original nature is gone.
