The Truth Beyond Death: A Message from Lee Kuan Yew
A Testimony from the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss
Recorded by Practitioner Shi Faxi
I am Lee Kuan Yew. Those in the world who do not understand the Truth often assume that I have died. It is true that my physical form has passed away, but my life remains exactly as it was; it has never been extinguished. Many people wonder where we go after death. I spent a long time in the hells, and I must ask you: where will you go? If one believes that death is the end of everything, then does it not imply that there is no law governing the actions we take while alive? This is a flawed and incorrect view. In the past, I never considered these matters. I always felt that the world after death had nothing to do with me. However, having walked that path myself, I have come to understand the reality of existence.
The Unyielding Laws of the Universe
When a person does not live according to the Truth while in the world, the price they pay after death is a that is incredibly difficult to repay. In fact, the suffering often begins while one is still alive. The Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way are terrifyingly precise; there is no way to escape them. They are far stricter than any laws I ever drafted while leading Singapore. I suffered immensely under the weight of my own karmic retribution, yet while I was still in the world, I was completely unaware and unawakened to this reality. I wept, begging myself to stop, but my body had already deviated from the right path. I had no way to tell it to correct its course. This is the tragedy of being unable to master one's own life while in the world.
The Tragedy of Losing One's True Self
The Buddha’s teachings are vast and profound. They tell us that the most important task in life is to find one's true nature. We are constantly in the world, becoming lost and stained by the and . Because of this, we lose our connection to the Truth. Once our actions are no longer guided by the Truth, any external force can take control of our thoughts and our behaviour. Looking back, I see that I was replaced by these forces, becoming a version of myself that was not truly me. This is a terrifying reality, and only someone who has been a dead person, as I have, can explain it clearly enough for others to understand.
The Path to Eternal Life
You do not have to remain a dead person, trapped in the cycle of being reincarnated. As long as you follow the Truth, you can be reborn in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. Once you reach the Western Land, you can achieve an eternal life, free from the suffering of being reincarnated. You can truly attain the happiness of the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I am Lee Kuan Yew, and I am now in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I sincerely wish to tell everyone about this method for attaining eternal life. However, it requires everyone to be truly willing to live according to the Truth. This process requires re-education, and it requires significant financial support and protection. Yet, this is a cause worth pursuing. I will continue to call upon others to help everyone find their true selves as early as possible.
A Father's Call to
Life in the world is limited in its capacity. If you wish to transcend your current state, you must realise that anything that is not the Truth—anything that goes beyond the Truth—is no longer your true self. This is because many powerful forces attach themselves to you, controlling your mind and preventing you from waking up. Since you still have the opportunity to hear these words, I hope you can understand the importance of saving the world. Hsien Loong, you are the child I cultivated with my own hands. I hope that one day you will be able to come and see me. I am your father, waiting for you in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I look forward to the day when we can all meet again formally. I am grateful to the Buddha for his , for his mercy in helping all beings. Namo Amituofo.
