Danger Signs during the Decline of Dharma

We are born during this Age of Decline of Dharma. The decline of Dharma means that Dharma has reached the ends of branch tips and is about to die out. This is a time when the demons are strong, while the Dharma is weak; evil is gaining, while that which is proper is withering. This is why there are all kinds of deviant theories that appear to be very reasonable but when applied, could lead nations or humanity to their end. Everyone understands the idea that infinite growth and change occur in the universe according to yin and yang, to that which is proper and evil. If we go against the principle of yin and yang, against that which is proper and that which is evil, we will definitely walk down the road to extinction. The whole world is afraid of AIDS now. AIDS victims die because they were promiscuous and did not go down the right track; they went against biology. They even advocate and promote their lifestyle everywhere they go. They confuse people so that people do not know what human nature is and the difference between the proper and the deviant, between right and wrong. They even ask that their lifestyle become legal. If it were really to become legal, there would be no truth in the world! AIDS started because of homosexuality. The Book of Changes says, "One yin and one yang is the Tao; too much yin or too much yang is a sickness." If there is day, there is night; if there is good, there is evil; if there is opposition, there is compliance; and if there is heaven, there is earth. These phenomena are quite normal. "Men marry at the age of thirty; women wed at the age of twenty." These are normal relations. Relations between emperor and ministers, father and son, husband and wife, elders and youngsters, and between friends ought to be based on the eight virtues of filiality, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, justness, incorruptibility, and a sense of shame. We should base ourselves on the eight virtues as people. Cohabitation between those of the same-sex contradicts natural human relations. During the Age of
Decline of Dharma, monsters, demons, and ghosts are coming into the world
and openly promoting this idea, which shall lead to the extinction of
the human race, the death of nations. If everyone were to become homosexual,
our nations would be devoid of people; with no people, there would be
no human population in the world. Human beings are poisoning themselves
and being the cause of extinction for themselves and their countries.
This is why AIDS is around. Up until now, no cure has yet been found.
This illness makes people lose their immunity so that they die immediately
when foreign and malevolent viruses enter the body. The cause of this
disease is homosexuality. Poison attacks poison so a sickness more severe
than atom bomb is created. I'll tell you, I do not care that monsters,
ghosts, and demons will be unhappy when they hear this. I still have to
say it: this is a time of major catastrophes and grave dangers. We must
make this clear. We must unite as we recite Guanshiyin Bodhisattva's name
to revert the tide of huge disasters. "Anger engenders happiness;
dead men live again. If you say these are lies, no Buddha ever deceives."
Guanyin Bodhisattva has the great power to make angry people happy, making
it possible for those who are meant to die to survive. Perhaps you do
not believe it and consider this false, but you ought to know the wonderful
works of Guanyin Bodhisattva's spiritual powers and that no Buddha lies
or fabricates the truth. This is why everyone should take refuge with
Guanyin Bodhisattva and save and protect our endangered human population. |
