Some big traditions of enlightening practice don’t still always have a great Enlightened Master there, but at least the Master just passed away recently. Within 300 years, you still can have that Power embedded into the successor of that Master and even the next successor of that Master. […] They still have enough Power to cover Their present followers, even though they have not reached above the Third Level. After this world, we have Five Levels. The Fifth is the highest one within this Five Levels’ kind of dimension.

The Fifth is the highest one. If you reach the Fourth, then you’re already liberated. But if you still stay on the Third Level, even the high Third Level, you are not liberated. But with the greatest Master before you, you can rely on that (Master Power). The Master is there to help you to liberate yourself and the followers, even though you are just on the Third Level.

Well, I observed that. All of the ones that teach the same teaching as the Masters before them are just at the Third Level, maximum high Third Level. I am afraid that I’ll offend a lot of people, but I have to tell the truth. I can’t tell lies. I can’t tell lies just so that people will like me or love me. I’m already in trouble all the time anyway – more trouble now, because I was already forced to reveal my own real identity as Maitreya Buddha, also known as Christ, Jesus Christ returned. I don’t count on my safety anymore. It doesn’t matter. I don’t really want to live long in this world. Every day I live, I suffer. I see the suffering of all other beings, and my heart… every day, it’s like it breaks, it mends again; it breaks, it mends again. I don’t know for how long. What is it in this world that I would want to have anyway? Maximum, I would have another room, an even more decorated room, more beautiful furniture – so what, then? What good does it do me?

It’s only suffering that I have, no matter where I live, no matter what I eat, no matter what I wear anyway. I want nothing except to help all beings to be liberated from this terrible, vicious, brutal, merciless cycle of a delusional, negative planet. Everything you see is not real. Only the Heavenly things you see inside you are real. So what is it that anyone would want to stay here for? And not long anyway – you never know. Nobody knows if they’ll die tomorrow. Well, except some Enlightened Masters – They would know in advance, if They don’t have a lot of disciples. If They have a lot of disciples, They don’t know much about Their own death – maybe at the end. But They just do what They can while They are still alive, with the Grace of God and all the Mercies of the Masters. They are doing Their job.

If They don’t work for, for example, Supreme Master Television, and They don’t have to edit all kinds of cruelty that They have to see and handle for Supreme Master Television, then They could live happier. And if They don’t have a lot of disciples, then They could live happier, healthier, more carefree, like the way I felt when I first came out, when I had a very small group of disciples. I was so confident, so invincible, so happy, so blissful, so carefree every day; almost every day was like a party. Even though we didn’t have a lot of money and food at that time, we managed to have a simple vegan barbecue many of the weekends when there was nothing else – no retreat, no special arrangement or lecture anywhere. Then we would sit together, have a vegan barbecue and sing songs or play guitar or something, and somebody else would play the sitar, and somebody else would play the flute, and somebody else would play whatever.

I used to play with a group of monks and nuns on different instruments together at night. I don’t remember we ever recorded them. I don’t remember if anybody ever informed another person with a camera in the ashram to record these things. Maybe they did; I don’t remember that. But we did have some good times like that. Now all those good times are gone. I’m only happy or feel lucky that I’m still alive.

Every day I’m alive, I do my best, every nanosecond of my existence, to work for others with all my heart, all my soul, all my love, and God knows it. All Heavens know it. When I first came out, Heavens, angels, and everyone ran for anything I needed or wanted. Even though I didn’t want much. But nowadays, mostly They just cry because They can’t help me. So, I’m very much alone. Even if They wanted to help me, They can’t. The karma obstructs Them. And it’s too much karma for Them, even.

But we always have to have dreams and hope. Because if you don’t have a dream, people say you will never have a dream come true. So I still dream of a kind of free life again, when all the Heavens don’t have to cry for me frustratedly, where we all can rejoice in happiness, at least in prosperity for the world and peacefulness. It’s like Heaven on Earth again; it’s like old Eden again. Then everyone will be happy, and then I would be the happiest.

Until that time, we never know what will happen. Because nowadays, it’s worse. It’s more delusional than in the Buddha’s time. And in Lord Jesus’ time, it wasn’t all bad like now, and Jesus was still brutally crucified. And all of His Apostles, whoever was caught by the government, were killed brutally, burned or crucified, or experienced all kinds of unimaginable cruelty that a human can do to another human – a harmless, holy human. Oh, whenever I think about that, I cannot cry enough. I have to stop now. I will talk (again) after I finish crying.

You see, nowadays, people told me they don’t even know who’s a good monk and who is not anymore. Well, I understand that, and I agree with that. Even priests, they all look very good, well-dressed, well-fed, talk very well, and even show some kind of manner, behavior or action that makes people trust them. Like they help some orphanage, tell people don’t eat animal-people as food, and live poorly, even. Not like some of the monks or the priests that live richly, luxuriously– then it’s easier for people to recognize. But some don’t do that. They use different ways. They don’t just use one way.

“Excerpt from ‘Preparing for the trial of the former abbot of Phước Quang pagoda for using many tactics to defraud 68 billion VND (US$2.7 million)’: Never before have we witnessed so many people who used to be monks and religious leaders yet engaged in deceitful and fraudulent activities as we did in 2021-2022. A series of former monks and abbots were exposed, and only when the press reported it and the authorities got involved did these fake monks and fake teachers reveal their true faces as professional scammers. The Vĩnh Long Provincial People's Procuracy has issued an indictment to prosecute Phạm Văn Cung, 40 years old, former abbot of Phước Quang Pagoda, and Nguyễn Tuấn Sĩ, 54 years old, residing in Vĩnh Long City, for fraud and appropriation of property. Cung organized many programs and events to build his own reputation. Cung introduced himself to the victims as being acquainted with many high-ranking leaders. He made video clips about the charitable activities of Phước Quang Pagoda and the Suối Nguồn Tình Thương Buddhist Orphanage Center, in which he was the main figure, and posted them on social media. Through these videos, Cung promoted his image and gained the trust of many people. Through this, Cung introduced his charitable work and described the arduous conditions of raising orphans to elicit their sympathy and assistance. Cung also fabricated events to borrow money. In total, Phạm Văn Cung borrowed over 77.7 billion VND (US$3.1 million) from four people for personal expenses, leading to an inability to repay. After being reported, Cung returned nearly 10 billion VND (US$400,000) to the victims. Thus, the amount Cung still owes is over 67.7 billion VND (US$2.7 million).”

They use the richness, luxuries, to attract some different types of people in society. And some use very poor and very ascetic ways even, just to attract some different kinds of people. Some are normal men that attract different people. Some are even bisexual or homosexual. I’m not trying to offend these people. I’m just saying they (bad monks or priests) are not real. They’re not human. They are demons. They are zealous ghosts. They are all kinds of different ghosts, different kinds of demons. It’s all from the Mara Kingdom, who became monks, nuns, priests and even charitable organizers. They do all kinds of things to attract people with different kinds of karma so that they will lure them away from goodness, from God, from the real teaching of the Buddha and of Christ.

It’s not like they do only one type of thing. Some don’t want your money, don’t want anything, so that you can trust them completely. And they know that there are different kinds of gender orientations in our societies as well, so they don’t just put out real, normal men. They put out also the same kinds of humans with different gender orientations as well to attract those types of people, to die for them even, because they trusted them so much with their poor ascetic appearance. That is the thing.

You could never tell. You just have to pray inside your heart sincerely. Let the Buddha help you, let Christ help you, that God protects you from all kinds of distractions. Otherwise, you could never find your Home in Heaven again. They just try to lead you astray, to go to hell, or even if you come back to this life again – which is very difficult to come back to human life – then you will be tricked and distracted again, and then forever, you could never get back to your Real Self.

Your Real Self is not here! Not in this body! Everything you see here – not real! Only what you see inside when you meditate is real. Only when you connect with God, then it’s real. Only when your real Master takes you Home, and on the way Home shows you different scenery of the Heavenly Road to Home, that is real. Just the way my people do, that is real. They can see Heaven; they can see Buddha and Jesus Christ for real, and they know the way to protect themselves if these are false appearances to trick them.

Some of the false masters also accepted so-called disciples, and later these disciples came to me crying and said, “Why this? Why that?” Because it’s all false; it’s all fake! Even if they repeat the same teaching that I do, which is so easy – everybody can watch Supreme Master Television and see and hear what I say, and then they can zigzag into making it into their talk, and then they delude their own followers.

And the followers, they’re vulnerable. They know nothing! They have pure hearts and they long to see the Buddha, to see God, and they just believe. And because many other monks, priests or other teachers openly abuse other people, which goes on the Internet, newspapers, or television, so they grab onto somebody who apparently looks the opposite – looks holy, looks wholesome, looks like caring-for-nothing. So, they grab onto this being – even demons that fake into holy persons. They still “need” them; they kind of grab onto them like a person who is drowning in the river grabs onto a piece of wood, thinking it’s better than all around them – it’s all drowning water and garbage. That’s what it is.
