The Truth Beyond the Grave
An Interview with the Spirit of Lee Kuan Yew
Recorded on August 20, 2018
This is a record of an interview with Lee Kuan Yew, who sought deliverance at the Hsiang Kuang Buddhist Centre in Australia. He now resides in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. This account reflects upon his journey after his passing in the human world. Recorded by the chief writer, Shi Faxi, on August 20, 2018.
Lee Kuan Yew speaks:
"Namo Amituofo. I am Lee Kuan Yew. Those in the world who do not understand the Truth will all assume that I am dead. Yes, it is true that I have passed away, but my life has not been extinguished; it remains exactly as it was, never having been destroyed.
Where do people go after they die? I spent a very long time in the hells. Where will you go? If there were truly nothing after death, then would there be no law to govern what we do in this world? That is an incorrect view. In the past, I never considered these matters. I always felt that the world after death had nothing to do with me. But after walking that path myself, I have come to understand everything. If a person does not follow the Truth while living in this world, the price paid after death is a that is impossible to repay. In fact, the retribution often begins while one is still alive.
The Strictness of Universal Principles
The Universal Principles are terrifyingly strict—far stricter than the laws I established during my time in Singapore. I suffered immensely under the punishments of the hells, yet the 'me' who was still in the world was completely unaware and unawakened. I cried out, begging myself to stop what I was doing, but my physical body had already veered off course, and I had no way to tell it to correct itself. This is the tragedy of being unable to master one's own life while in the world.
The Buddha’s teachings are vast and profound. They tell us that we must find our true selves, and this is truly of the utmost importance. We are in this world, becoming lost and confused by the and , and because of this, we lose the Truth. Once our actions are devoid of the Truth, any force can dominate our thoughts and our behaviour.
The Danger of a Lost Identity
Looking back, I realise that my identity was replaced, and I became a 'self' that was not truly me. This is a terrifying reality, and only someone who has been a 'dead person' like me can explain it clearly enough for others to understand. One can stop being a 'dead person' by following the Truth; if you do so, you can achieve rebirth in the Western Pure Land. Once you reach the Western Land, you can achieve immortality, for there, you will no longer face the suffering of reincarnation. You can attain the true Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.
I am Lee Kuan Yew, and I am now in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss. I have a deep desire to tell everyone about these immortal methods. However, it requires everyone to be truly willing to follow the Truth. This requires re-education, and it requires significant financial support and protection. Yet, this is a task worth doing. I will continue to call out to everyone, helping you all to find your true selves as early as possible.
A Father's Call to His Son
Life in this world is limited; it turns out that we only have this small amount of ability. If you wish to transcend, you must realise that anything beyond the Truth is not your true self. This is because many powerful forces will attach themselves to you, controlling you and preventing you from waking up. While 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 raised with my own hands. I hope that one day you can come to see me. I am your father, waiting for you to be reborn in the Western Pure Land. I am waiting to meet everyone again. Thank you, Buddha, for your in helping all beings. Namo Amituofo."
