The Prelude: Manifestation of the Primal Source
Heaven and earth awake, mystical music plays,
Light and shadow divide through endless days.
The heavenly secrets turn, the Three Realms shake,
The Fa-Rectification begins, a new era to awake.
The Awakening of Cosmic Secrets: The Vow of the Gods
Before the rivers and mountains of the mortal plane had taken form, the universe resonated with an anthem of life. Light and darkness collided through eons. As cosmic mechanisms shifted, the boundaries of the lower realms trembled, and the highest heavens silently bore witness to the dawn of a tribulation.
Across the universe, countless divine beings looked down upon the depths below with compassion. They witnessed living beings bound within the shackles of the old cosmic law—Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction. A deep unease stirred within their hearts, for over stretches of time, matter across the heavenly realms had begun to deviate from its original purity.
To salvage their kingdoms and sentient beings, many Gods chose to wager their eternal glory. They risked everything to plunge into the lowest, darkest realm of the cosmos—a place of utter impurity where the dross of the universe gathered—hoping to temper an indestructible Fa to save the heavens. Yet that primordial abyss was a point of no return. The dense, polluted matter instantly enveloped them, stifling their divine nature and severing their way back. Many who departed vanished into the gloom, trapped forever in the heavy filth of the bottomless realm, their original purity swallowed by time.
It was during that hour of despair that the Creator—the Supreme Holy King—appeared at the highest level of the cosmos.
As He descended through the layers of the universe, He unfolded the Great Awakening Fa at different celestial levels, allowing beings in different realms to hear and understand according to the depth of their own foundations.
When He reached the celestial level where Thiện Nghệ resided, He expounded the Fa once to the Great Dharma Kings and Heavenly Lords of that realm.
Among those who listened were Thiện Nghệ and four Great Dharma Kings.
The teaching did not merely reveal a path of cultivation. It disclosed the deeper responsibility carried by existence itself.
Thiện Nghệ understood that the coming descent was not a search for personal salvation. It was a choice to assist the Creator in turning the Fa-wheel and rectifying the cosmos through the mortal world.
He and the four Great Dharma Kings therefore followed the Creator as He continued His descent toward the Three Realms.
The Higher Enlightened One and the Dharma Prince
When the descending beings reached the Great Radiance Heavenly Kingdom, Thiện Nghệ saw a noble figure beside a green mountain stream.
He was the Dharma Prince, the son of a Tathagata Fa King who ruled that celestial domain.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
The Prince stood in silence, gazing downward. His people were approaching a great calamity, and he was searching for a way to save them.
The Dharma Prince had not heard the Creator’s earlier teaching at the higher celestial level. He knew only that the old cosmos was changing and that the beings of his kingdom might soon lose their path of return.
Thiện Nghệ stepped beside him and spoke softly:
“The Buddha Lord will descend into the lower realms to turn the Great Fa-wheel and offer salvation to sentient beings. This is the greatest opportunity in the history of the cosmos. Will you descend with Him and temper an indestructible Fa in the dust below?”
The Dharma Prince met his gaze without hesitation.
“Take me to the Buddha Lord. I wish to make my vow before Him.”
Thiện Nghệ nodded.
“Follow me.”
Together, they turned toward the celestial road leading to the Grand Sovereign Garden.
The Departure and the Seed of the Thousand-Petaled Aster
When the Dharma Prince’s decision became known, the beings of the Great Radiance Heavenly Kingdom gathered along the celestial road. The silence itself became a lament. The Tathagatas and celestial disciples wept, knowing that in the human world, their beloved prince would forget his name, his glory, and his true home.
A young disciple, unable to restrain his tears, asked: “What if the mortal world makes you forget us?”
The Dharma Prince’s expression softened with boundless mercy: “Then remember me until I can remember myself.”
He took a golden seed from within his sleeve—the seed of the Thousand-Petaled Aster—and planted it into the sacred earth of his kingdom. “When the thousandth golden petal opens, that will be the hour when my mission is complete and I return.”
Thiện Nghệ stepped forward and let a single drop of luminous water fall from his palm onto the golden seed.
“Why add your light?” the prince asked.
“So that the flower will remember both of us,” Thiện Nghệ replied. “Every petal will mark one lifetime. Every lifetime will remind us never to abandon one another.”
Heavenly Secrets Illuminate the Mortal Realm: The Sound of Fa Recitation Beneath the Thatch Roof
Thousands of Enlightened Ones followed the Creator downward into the Three Realms. Yet the greatest heavenly secret did not lie merely within the glittering crowns of the high realms—it chose instead to illuminate the mortal earth, weaving its way beneath thatch roofs, merging into the quiet steps of humanity.
In a humble corner of the world, beneath a moss-covered roof: A child sat cross-legged, holding the book of the Great Fa. Though the child’s recitation was halting, its pure eyes emitted a field of Righteous Thoughts that pierced through dimensions.
Beside the child, a mother, exhausted after a day of bitter labor and on the verge of giving up, was awakened by the gentle tug of her child’s hand. She smiled, straightened her back, and resumed reading alongside her child.
The father, passing the threshold with a heavy burden of anxiety weighing upon his shoulders, paused his steps. He spoke no words, but stood there, sensing a warm, divine energy enveloping their home.
In a realm infinitely high, a gaze of compassion from a celestial palace came to rest upon that thatch roof, silently confirming: This spot, this moment—is absolutely right.
The Majestic Virtue of the Sovereign King: Governance Through Wu-Wei
The virtue of the Creator does not manifest through tempestuous wrath or thunderbolts tearing the blue skies. He rests serenely at the center of the universe, allowing all layers of the cosmos to adjust according to divine law.
❖ When the Righteous Law is present, evil naturally dissolves;
❖ When the light shines down, darkness automatically loses its foothold;
Amidst the noisy auditoriums of the mortal world, a person suddenly sheds tears, their heart turning weightless without knowing why. Within a thatch roof, someone long ridden with illness sits straight, their energy channels unlocked. In a Western city, a child forms the Lotus Hand-Seal, softly reciting: “The Fa rectifies the cosmos.” Invisibly, the dark smoke enveloping the realm dissolves into dust. All creation naturally knows the path to revere and return to its primal source.
The Conclusion: Ten Thousand Eons Return to the Source
The cosmos falls still, the stardust flies,
The Three Realms sing beneath the skies.
Eternal light wakes the Righteous Mind,
The Sovereign’s virtue, soft and divine.
The mortal Way continues the grand song,
From thatch roofs to where high gods belong.
No miracles shown, no spells to weave—
With one true thought, all realms achieve.
