The Truth Beyond Life and Death
A Message from the Spirit of Lee Kuan Yew
Recorded on August 20, 2018
The Unseen Laws of the Afterlife
Where do we go after we pass away? I spent a very long time in the hells, and now I must ask you: where will you go? If one believes that there is nothing after death, then does it mean that everything we do in this world is beyond the reach of any law or consequence? This is a deeply mistaken view. In the past, I never truly contemplated these matters. I always felt that the world after death had absolutely nothing to do with me. However, having walked this path myself, I have come to understand the Truth clearly.
When a person does not live according to the Universal Principles while in this 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 Principles are terrifyingly precise; there is no way to escape them. They are far stricter than any laws I ever drafted during my time in Singapore.
The Tragedy of the Lost Self
I suffered greatly during my time in the hells. When I was still in the world, I was completely unaware and lacked clarity. I wept, begging myself to stop acting in certain ways, but my physical body had already deviated from the right path. I had no way to tell my physical self to correct its course. This is the tragedy of being a human in this world—we are often unable to be the master of our own lives.
The Buddha’s teachings are vast and profound. They tell us that the most important task is to find our true nature. When we live in this world, we are constantly stained and confused by the and . Because of this, we lose sight of the Truth. Once we act without the guidance of the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, any external force can take control of our thoughts and our actions.
to the Eternal
I realise now that in my past life, my identity was essentially replaced by other forces. I became someone who was not truly myself. This is a terrifying reality, and only someone who has walked the path of the dead can explain it clearly enough for others to understand. You do not have to continue living as a 'dead person' while you are still breathing. As long as you follow the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, you can achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Once you reach the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, you will achieve an immortal state. You will no longer be subject to the cycle of being reincarnated or the suffering that accompanies it. You will finally attain the true happiness of the Pure Land. I am Lee Kuan Yew, and I am now in the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. I sincerely wish to share these teachings on the immortal with everyone.
A Call to Awakening
To follow this path, we must be willing to truly live according to the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. This requires a process of re-education, which in turn requires significant resources, support, and protection. However, this work is worth every effort. I will continue to call upon everyone to help others find their true selves as early as possible. When we look at our lives in this world, we realise that our individual capacity is quite limited. If we wish to transcend our current state, we must align ourselves with the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way. If we stray beyond the Universal Principle, the Truth, and the Right Way, we are no longer ourselves, because we become attached to powerful external forces that control us, leaving us unable to wake up.
I hope that while you still have the opportunity to hear these words, you will understand the importance of the mission to save the world. Hsien Loong, you are the child I raised 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 Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and I look forward to the day we can formally meet again. I am deeply grateful to the Buddha for his in helping all beings. Namo Amituofo.
This teaching was recorded by the Buddha's disciple, Venerable HaiZe.
