“The King is still hoeing the moon, plowing the cloud The weather is favorable, and people are contented Rice harvest is plentiful The King lives on the mountain, where there are five-colored clouds The main palace is surrounded by clouds. Indeed, the Son of God is here now to rule.”
In our last two episodes, we followed dragon clues in prophecies imparted by the renowned Aulacese (Vietnamese) administrator, poet and prophet, Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm, as well as those by the Reverend Hồng Tâm Trúc Lâm Nương (vegan). We discovered that our Most Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) is the Holy Saint, Great Sage, or Heavenly King from the East. She was born in the Year of the Dragon and in the Dragon country of Âu Lạc (Vietnam) and She is fulfilling the sacred mission of bringing peace on Earth.
Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) often speaks highly of the spiritual essence and nobility of regions within Âu Lạc (Vietnam). For example, in 2015, multi-award-winning Aulacese (Vietnamese) singer, Ms. Hồ Quỳnh Hương (vegan) undertook the planning of a charity event to support the underprivileged children in Quảng Ngãi province, Âu Lạc (Vietnam), inviting government officials, esteemed artists from various regions and some of our Association members (all vegans).
For this noble cause, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) lovingly offered US$300,000 as a contribution to assist the children, as well as US$800,000 to build a meditation center for our brothers and sisters in Âu Lạc (Vietnam), with all Her Love and best wishes for the wonderful Dragon Land, Her Birth Country. Even though the event didn’t come to fruition, Master instructed that Her financial offer stayed in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) to help other charitable causes, and also build a place of spiritual Meditation for Her disciples there.
We would like to take this opportunity to share with you the joyful message that Master recorded for this occasion. In this message, Master described the noble spirit of the Quảng Ngãi people, and shed light on the meanings of the names given to auspicious locations in this area.
“Dear patrons! First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for your protection and concern for the local children in need through the organization of today’s charitable musical event. A special thanks goes to the benefactors and moral supporters, including government officials and renowned artists from various places. Your contributions are truly invaluable; and may the blessings of Heaven and Earth protect you and your families.
Quảng Ngãi has a pristine coastline, beautiful mountains and rivers, and many talented and virtuous people. It is home to many auspicious places: Quảng Ngãi, Đức Phổ, Vĩnh Bình, Phổ Ninh, Thiên Ấn, Thiên Bút, Cổ Lũy, Mỹ Khê, etc. I wonder if there is any other province in Âu Lạc (Vietnam) or abroad that carries as many exceptional and sacred titles. Quảng Ngãi means ‘boundless love,’ Đức Phổ is ‘widespread virtue,’ Vĩnh Bình represents ‘eternal peace,’ Phổ Ninh signifies ‘widespread security,’ Thiên Ấn represents ‘the mark of Heaven,’ Thiên Bút is ‘the Pen of Heaven,’ also known as ‘Thiên Bút phê vân,’ or ‘the Pen of Heaven that paints clouds,’ Cổ Lũy means ‘the ancient fortress,’ Mỹ Khê is ‘the beautiful and charming mountains and forests.’ The people in this region are all imbued with the spirit and sacredness of these noble names and lofty ideas.
On this auspicious occasion, I extend my best wishes to the Aulacese (Vietnamese) people in general and to my homeland of Quảng Ngãi in particular, wishing you all happiness, prosperity, and longevity. And hereby, I would like to take the liberty to contribute a modest gift of three hundred thousand US dollars (equivalent to six billion three million VND) for the children. With all my love, I wish the children good health, diligent studies, and a bright future. Once again, I sincerely thank those present and everyone who has contributed their efforts, talents, and support to today’s charitable event, with a heart of deep gratitude.”
Writings by poet and prophet Trạng Trình Nguyễn Bỉnh Khiêm highlight the important mission of our Beloved Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan). In a poem based on his prophetic vision, Trạng Trình revealed more details about the Holy King.
“The King is still hoeing the moon, plowing the cloud The weather is favorable, and people are contented Rice harvest is plentiful The King lives on the mountain, where there are five-colored clouds The main palace is surrounded by clouds. Indeed, the Son of God is here now to rule.”
This poem appears to describe the early years of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s mission when She lived in Taiwan, also known as Formosa. In those years, Master had less disciples and was more carefree. Although they lived in simple dwellings like tents and sometimes tended to their own gardens for certain food, they felt contented. Master often recalls those years with fondness.
“In the 80s. At that time, I was just beginning my little mission, just beginning a little bit in Taiwan (Formosa). And we didn’t have a lot of money then. I’d grow, sprouts, bean sprouts to sell, to have some money. And the disciples at that time, there were some monks and nuns who just followed me like that, and we didn’t have anywhere to live.”
Later in the late 1980s, the headquarters of our Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association was established in Hsihu Ashram in Taiwan (Formosa), located in a mountainous area. This could be the “main palace” that the poet is referring to.
Where Master’s tent was pitched, there used to be many colorful, blooming flowers called Hoa Ngũ Sắc in Aulacese (Vietnamese), literally meaning “five color.” Growing on shrub-like bushes, these small, elegant flowers are made up of tiny flowers of different colors in one stem, including white, pink, scarlet, orange, or yellow.
Master commented that there were so many of these bushes, that it was difficult to enter, because they are hard and strongly rooted. So they were cleared up by the disciples to make way, and some are now planted in Master’s living quarter in Hshihu Ashram. Master took photos of them and shared their beauty on Supreme Master Television.
These flowers are also a natural medicine for small cuts, used in some regions as a remedy to stop bleeding and healing. Master used them in Her childhood. The leaves and flowers also have a strong but nice fragrance!
Could this be the “five-colored clouds” surrounding the “main palace” seen by the seer? Additionally, in Eastern culture, the “five-colored clouds” are traditionally perceived as a symbol of Heaven and are often associated with good omens. Over the years, at places where Master has resided, our Supreme Master Ching Hai International Association members and non-followers have witnessed many auspicious signs and the benevolent presence of Heavenly Beings.
“Respectful greetings to Supreme Master Ching Hai. Dear Zen Master, and esteemed audience, last night, I had a chamber music performance in San Jose. And this morning, I had to wake up very early to travel here by car. There were only two of us making the journey, with Mr. Lộc driving me. While we were en route, I happened to look up at the sky and noticed a remarkable sight – a multicolored cloud. It wasn’t the usual rainbow or colorful rings, but a cloud that had gathered with shades of pink, red, blue, yellow, purple, and more. I pointed it out to Mr. Lộc, wondering aloud, ‘Oh, how strange!’ Neither of us knew what the sign was, and Mr. Lộc was also intrigued. It made me think of the story in the Bible about the birth of Jesus Christ. When Baby Jesus was born, the three wise men were told that the Baby Lord was born in the East, and to follow a star in search of the newborn King. I began to think that maybe this cloud is a Heavenly sign.
When Mr. Lộc and I arrived here, the cloud slowly dissipated, which I interpreted as a Divine message indicating that we have a Zen Master to guide us [Home]. If you are here, could you please confirm and describe this extraordinary sight, which was indeed a phenomenon?
While waiting, I respectfully ask that You (Supreme Master Ching Hai) continue on Your Path and remain a guiding Light for all of Your disciples to follow. […]”
“When I drove Ms. Lệ Thu here, I was focused on driving. However, Ms. Lệ Thu noticed a very beautiful cloud above us. The cloud was white and very high up. Suddenly, it transformed into a five-colored hue, just like the colors of a rainbow, Master. It was very beautiful! (Explain where it was seen.) (It was nearby.)
It means, for example, while we were driving like this, the place where our assembly hall is located would be over there, and it seemed like it was almost right above us. The cloud was directly above us. (Right above.) Right above us, just like that, and it was very beautiful. […] (Thank you, Mr. Lộc for being a witness to what I saw. Once again, congratulations to You [Supreme Master Ching Hai]. Congratulations to You! That is a sign from God.)”
“I remember during the 7-day retreat at Sandimen, Pingtung, in 1993, we meditated on the banks of a river surrounded by streams. One evening, Master was about to come out to give a lecture. I suddenly looked up at the sky and found that the scattered stars all formed a circle above the riverbank I was so amazed! The stars and the Moon gathered to listen to Master’s lecture, and when it was finished, they scattered again to fill the sky. After that, I often looked up at the sky. If I saw the stars and the Moon gathering above the riverbank again, I knew that Master was coming out to give a lecture. If Master didn’t come out that day, the stars and the Moon wouldn’t gather.”
“On that day, the whole sky was filled with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. They were admiring Master. […] All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Universe were praising the Power of Master.”
“I saw that the sky was full of UFOs of various sizes. Like stars dotting the entire sky, the number of UFOs was so many that I could not even see buildings outside. Next, four beings with bright light came down from a UFO. In a second, they transformed themselves into the appearance of Master in front of me. They told me that they would like to enter the meditation Center to attend the retreat (with Master) and asked me to lead the way.”
“On the first morning after meditation in the Art Gallery, I casually looked out of the window and saw a very long and strange cloud. Looking at it carefully, I noticed that it was a giant dragon floating in the sky. It had an enormous head and huge eyes, with two puffs of finger-sized clouds streaming from its nostrils. It had a thin mustache with both ends curling upward on the two sides of its face. Its claws, long, huge body and tail were also visible. Above this cloud dragon were several small dragons. That was indeed a fantastic sight. The whole ashram was under the protection of the divine dragons.”
“Not long ago, there was a Chinese Taoist. While meditating, he saw a Bodhisattva standing in the middle of the water pond in front of his house. Above Her were many colorful clouds that formed the words ‘Ching Hai.’ Since then, he intended to look for Master. Unexpectedly, a year later, Master went to China and met him; he immediately asked Master for initiation. He was very delighted and said, ‘Master is an ancient Buddha coming here to liberate beings from Samsara. If She was not a True Enlightened Master, I would not have given up over forty years of practice to follow Her.’”
ETC…
Moreover, recently, Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan) shared with us about the invisible palaces created by Deities. These are built above current and past Ashrams or places of residence where a true enlightened Master lives or once inhabited.
“Sometimes if a True Master or a big Saint stayed there, or continued to reside there, or left already, the environmental Deities, the local Deities or nearby Deities would come together, use Their power to build a palace for worship – for a ‘loving, peaceful worship.’ That’s what They call it. Their exact words They put are like this: ‘To build a loving, peaceful place of worship’ for those Saints or Sages or Masters which They know are a benefactor for the Land and WORTHY OF THEIR REVERENCE.
[…] And it normally would be in the air around 9, 10 meters above whatever existing surface, either ground or a roof of something, like a roof of a cave or roof of a house. If the Master’s not there, They will begin to build a palace with gold, diamonds, jewelries, that – I quote the words of the reporting Deity – ‘that world has never seen before. Gold jewels that the world has never seen before.’ That’s the quote of the report to me about some of my palaces that They built. […]
These worshiping Palaces help to naturally stabilize the surrounding, bless the atmosphere and all beings nearby.”
Could these Sacred Palaces for worship built above in the sky mean “The main palace is surrounded by clouds”? In our next episode, we will look further into the hidden meaning of this prophetic poem.
