Spiritual Interludes

Master had told us historical stories about "Guang Zhong and Bau Su Ya," whom most of us are very familiar with. Through Master's explicit exposition, we have a much deeper understanding of what Guang Zhong did during his time. I am deeply impressed by the sacrificing spirit of Guang Zhong, who laid aside his personal feelings of joy, anger, sadness, happiness and honor, and devoted himself entirely to securing a better life for his people and benefiting his country. I truly admire him.

In recent years, Master had exhibited Her art creations, including the Celestial Clothes and Celestial Jewelry all over the world. Her hope is to communicate with all beings on Earth according to their affinities so that they have more opportunities to know about the God's Truth that She is spreading. Guang Zhong did similar things. To make it possible for the people to have a better life, he often had to act according to the moods of Emperor Huan of Qi State, and befriended the wicked officers close to him.

Similarly, in propagating God's will, elevating the spirituality of sentient beings, and taking care of more people's spiritual lives, Master also has to act according to the game rules of this world to benefit more fellow beings on Earth.

Being Master's disciples, we should be Master's bosom friends in the world just like the way Bau Su Ya wholeheartedly supported and trusted Guang Zhong, no matter what his outwardly actions might seemed according to the worldly standard.¡¹

One day during the early years of the Au Lac War, an American platoon was fiercely battling against the Viet Cong in a rice paddy. Suddenly, a row of six monks walked right across the battle field in a smooth and calm manner. An American soldier named David Busch recalled the incident, " This group of monks walked straight ahead without paying the slightest attention to the surrounding. The strange thing was, nobody shot at them. After they walked across, I suddenly had no desire to fight anymore, at least not on that day. Other people must have been feeling the same, because they stopped fighting simultaneously. So, we had a day of cease fire. "

The tranquillity and composure of the monks extinguished the fierce battle between the two sides.¡¹
