The Other Shore!

Deiform Buddha

May 31, 2006

Rivers have this shore and the other shore, and so does LIFE. From the shore of a river, one crosses to the other shore by boat, disembarking upon arrival. Similarly, from the shore of LIFE, one crosses to the other shore using the physical body as the vessel, abandoning it upon reaching the destination.

Some do not believe in the existence of the other shore; some doubt its existence; some know it exists but are unaware of its conditions; and some wish to reach it but do not know how to get there.

Christopher Columbus once sought funding from the Spanish king and queen for a maritime expedition. Columbus believed the Earth was round, reasoning that if one kept moving forward, they would eventually return to the starting point. The king and queen were skeptical and convened a committee of renowned scholars and geographers, including theologians such as St. Augustine and Christian philosopher Lactantius, to evaluate the feasibility. The resulting report stated:

“Would anyone be foolish enough to believe in a place where people walk upside down, their feet against ours, their heads pointing downward? Or that such a place exists where trees grow downward, and rain, snow, and hail fall upward? Declaring the Earth to be round is merely a defense of such myths about the existence of polar opposites. The western Atlantic is boundless and perhaps unnavigable. For centuries, no one has discovered any uncharted, useful lands there.”

Others said:

“Your Majesty, Columbus is undoubtedly a fraud, attempting to swindle money for his indulgences. Should you fund him, the world will mock Your Majesty. The only solution for such a swindler is execution by hanging.”

Those who ridiculed Columbus lacked a holistic understanding of the Earth.

Jesus Christ knew of the other shore. Buddha Shakyamuni knew of the other shore. The spiritual guide of Lifechanyuan also knows of the other shore.

Christ did not describe the conditions of the other shore. Buddha did not provide a complete discussion of it. To lead people to the other shore, the guide of Lifechanyuan has come, inheriting the mission of Christ and Buddha to fulfill the will of the Greatest Creator.

The 36-dimensional spaces can be seen as 36 distinct other shores. For LIFE, the most ideal other shores are the Thousand-Year World, the Ten-Thousand-Year World, and the Elysium World. The least desirable ones are the Netherworld, the Frozen Layer, and the Fiery Refining Layer.

Naturally, few will believe this “account”, just as experts in Columbus’s era doubted the Earth’s roundness. The guide does not expect everyone to believe it—1% of the population will suffice.

As for how to reach LIFE’s ideal other shore, only one person in the world knows, and that is the guide of Lifechanyuan. Trust in Christ was not misplaced. Trust in Buddha was not misplaced. Trust in the guide of Lifechanyuan is also not misplaced because Jesus, Buddha, and the guide are one and the same—indistinguishable.

Many may think the guide of Lifechanyuan is a grand deceiver, motivated by fame and fortune. To this, the guide has no response. Buddha once renounced the chance to become a king—he had no desire for it. Many sought to make Jesus a king, but he fled. Speculating that the guide seeks kingship is baseless. If possible, the guide would prefer death and has no desire to remain in this world even one second longer.

Consider the story of the spider demons who captured Tang Sanzang, offering what they believed to be the finest delicacies, including plump insects. The spider demons thought this was the ultimate hospitality. But if you were Tang Sanzang, would you eat such food?

Or imagine a pack of dogs that fought incessantly and eventually begged a human to become their king, bowing humbly and sincerely. If you were that human, would you accept the role of their king?

Delicious insects may be prized by spiders but are unsuitable for Tang Sanzang—they are not his food.

A king of dogs, no matter how prestigious, does not suit humans—it is not their calling.

Do not think I desire anything in this human world. Even the humblest citizen of the heavenly kingdom is nobler than a king, president, or leader of this earthly world.

If you approach with sincere scientific curiosity, you will believe me. If you have spirituality, you will believe me. If you understand divine revelations, you will believe me. If you grasp Christ’s heart, you will believe me. If you comprehend Buddha’s teachings, you will believe me.

Do not assume I will preach to you as Jesus or Buddha did. For most humans, compassion and universal love are ineffective. Without transforming the structure of your LIFE, you cannot reach the ideal other shore.

Stop aimless practices and haphazard cultivation. Cultivation is like launching a spacecraft into outer space—every calculation must be precise. Blind attempts and wishful thinking are futile. Do not harbor the slightest delusion. If you lack clarity on even one calculation or entertain unrealistic expectations, you will never reach the ideal other shore.
