Take for instance, the war between Afghanistan and America. From the news report for the past two days, we can speculate that there is a high possibility that they might have nuclear weapons. If nuclear weapons were to be used in war, then it will be the realization of the End of the World. The target will definitely be a densely populated place and thus, many will not survive.
And so, an ancient prophecy from France, a prophecy by Nostradamus, mentioned that after a world war, only a tenth of the current population will be left in this world. Let's think about it, is that possible? It's very likely. Without the use of nuclear weapons, it is not possible to take away that many lives. The old prophet also mentioned, after the war, the world will be at peace for a thousand years. Why is that so?
That's because most of the population are already gone. And thus, people will love and respect one another and will no longer be calculative between each other. People will not repent unless they have undergone a major catastrophe. We have the obligation to advice them. However, it's their choice to take our advice. We have fulfill our duty and have had done our due diligence.

People will not repent unless they have undergone a major catastrophe. We have the obligation to advice them. However, it's their choice to take our advice. We have fulfill our duty and have had done our due diligence.
Just like a quote that Buddhist normally use, "A day as a Monk, A day of Chant." This means that for the each day that I live, I complete my duties for that day. And so, my day has not passed in vain. Our thoughts and actions must set an good example for the public while our speech and verbal communication must be used to advice the distressed public for the realization of facts. This is especially so with the mindset.
Please do not have the impression that our mindset has nothing to do with the current events that are happening right now. On the contrary, it is crucial. The mindset is a kind of wave. In this current society, many people think about war. This is not a good thought, as it hasten the happening of war. What should we think about then? We should think about peace. Everyone wants peace. The wave formed by the mindset of peace will neutralize the wave created by the mindset of war.
And even if a total neutralization is unable to occur, it will at least reduce the waves initiated by the mindset of war. To put it across in another way, it will mean that the calamity we face will be not be as intense. Furthermore, if many of us think about peace with no thoughts of war or revenge but only on mercy and love; this will be an act to help self, the society and the world to avoid the adversity.
And that is the only route to the problem that is most efficient. The waves created by our mindset is much stronger than electromagnetic waves. To put it across in a another way, this is to have a common wish amongst the people in the world. We must condition our minds to have no evil thoughts and to be determined that there will be no disputes.
The society of today is perplexed. The western culture emphasizes on competition. Competition is unpleasant. With competition, disagreements follows and ultimately, war that will lead to the end of the world. And so, the kind of mindset used by the Westerns will inevitably lead to the end of the world. In the East, all religions have the mindset that is exactly opposite to those of the West.
The mindset of the East is peace. And so, we will never have the thought of competing, living in a world without competition and with no worldly desires. This kind of lifestyle is a happy one. In this world, even if one is wealthy or have a high stature in society, they live in much worries everyday, relying on sleeping pills to sleep every night. Imagine what kind of lifestyle will that be? We must live our life in bliss. To do that, we must accept the teachings of the Saints.
HOST: That sounds easy but in actuality, though everyone wants to lead a peaceful life, be contented and happy, there are many things in life that will make us - earthly beings - distraught. How then do we elevate our behavior to the state whereby we can control our temper? With no temper, there will not be conflicts. And without conflicts, there will not be misunderstandings, which will lead to war. In this respect, what is the only way to enable ourselves to be calm?
The crucial factor lies in the fact in understanding the true meaning of the Universe and Life. If we can make light of the prior mentioned, the root of the issue will be resolved.
To fathom the true meaning of the Universe and Life is an immense knowledge. And these knowledge are all recorded in the scriptures of the ancient Saints; the written work from the religious books. How will you then have the knowledge if you do not study them well? I have studied this aspect for 55 years now and thus I am living with ease.
I must thank and repay my teacher for it. I have obtained the highest level of enjoyment through the true teachings of my teacher. To requite him, I must exhibit my behavior and share what I have learnt to the people. And this is how I will thank my teacher. Learning is of utmost importance. On the first day I met my teacher, he taught me that I must let go of selfishness and the pursuit of fame and worldly desires; to let go of greed, hatred, ignorance and arrogance.
Be self-contented and to raise my spiritual level and state of mind constantly. Having a materialistic mind frame will definitely lead you to degeneration. And thus, why do earthly beings whom practice the teachings not able to attain success? The reason is because they are still unwilling to let go of the gratification of worldly desires and as a result, they fall through. The indulgences to gratify for our senses corrupt our body and mind.
On the other hand, a simple life is the healthiest lifestyle of all but people do not know that. Around the world, people are always very delighted to interact with me. They often ask me how do I maintain my physical appearance after seeing me. I replied, "I only drink plain water to get such a healthy body. I do not drink any other beverage, as they contain chemical ingredients. As for food, I only consume vegetables and tofu, plain and easy.
Furthermore, I only have a meal per day to save me the hassle. The quantity of my meal is also very little and so, it will fully be digested in my body. My heart is pure and untainted. The happenings of the outside world do not bother me. I don't watch television nor do I read newspapers or magazines or listen to the news. And so, whenever people ask me about the current situation, I will reply them, there is nothing extraordinary going on.
The world is at peace. I am living a stable life. On the other hand, people will feel disturbed and burdened after reading the news. And so, if you were to ask me, I will not know. And that will also apply to keeping track of the date and time as I don't wear a watch. Even my itinerary is organized by others, following the flow of others, feeling happiness from all the good around me. See, this is a lifestyle of happiness.
Can someone subtitle this? It's frustrating since i don't understand Chinese. Please someone out of a good heart translate this into english. Amitabha.

Why does the End of the World exist? It is a result of what we do. If we don't repent, the issue will be serious.
