Life is uncertain. Today you’re rich, tomorrow you may have nothing, from the flood or a storm, by any kind of other disaster. You know it these days, earthquakes and all that, they take away everything in the blink of an eye, even your life also. So be prepared. Be prepared. Always remember the Buddhas. And the Christians, always MUST believe in God, with all your strength/heart and soul, always remember God, always pray to God, and love Lord Jesus, praise Jesus, remember Him as well. Jesus never died on the cross. He never dies. He’s always there. Just try to be pure enough so that His Blessing, His Grace, His Teachings will be shining upon you. […]
Now, the Buddha said also there is a God. It’s just He didn’t say the word “God.” Somebody asked Him, “Is there a God or not?” And probably in the old times, the way they expressed it and the way the Buddha knows about these people who make God into something that is not correct, they just described God with a human understanding, so it’s completely not right, because they’re ignorant, they don’t really know what God means. We must have God, or else where do you come from? Of course, the Buddha also mentioned that you have to rely on yourself. You have Buddha Nature inside. Where do you get that Buddha Nature from? And in Christianity we say, “God dwells within you.” So these two different terminologies, “Buddha Nature” or “God dwells within you,” they point to the same. It’s just different terminology because of different countries.
I’m telling you, there’s no end to some of the fake monks anywhere, not just in Buddhism. […] There are quite a few like that in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and in Thailand and other countries as well. Many that maybe we don’t know of. But similarly, in Christianity we also have many of those priests who are just there for money and abusing women, men and children like that. […] So, please, in every so-called religion, there are rampant cases, a lot of these kinds of fake priests, harmful priests, evil priests, monks and nuns even. There are nuns who even sell orphans to make money. So there is no need to go against Buddhism just because of this monk. He’s just uneducated. He’s just, I have to say, maybe evil. Maybe he works for maya, you can tell. […]
