1. Enlightenment means understanding correctly.
Having not understood correctly means having not been enlightened.
Understanding nothing or purporting to not understand is ignorance.
Enlightenment is not to believe in certain religion but to understand clearly about the Universal Existence. If you understand that Universal Existence is true and comprehend it, then you are called enlightened. Without having understood Universal Existence is called ignorance and delusion. As long as there is delusion, it cannot be called enlightenment.
If you believe that there are Troi, Upper Buddhas and Emperors who are operating this Universe you have been enlightened in one aspect.
If you also believe that there are Physical and Invisible spaces existing in parallel in the Universe you have been enlightened in one more aspect.
If you further believe that there are Highest Universal Council, Emperor Council and Buddha and God Council who are Troi’s executives to operate this Universe you have been enlightened in one further aspect.
And so on, you gradually comprehend truth by truth until you comprehend all the truth existing out there, i.e you have comprehended all the Universal Existence. At that time you have been wholly enlightened.
There must be enlightenment to have Noble Belief. If there is only partial enlightenment there is only partial belief. If there is comprehensive enlightenment there is whole and firm belief.
For having enlightenment you must study. You must humbly learn from books, from religions, from life, from your teacher and friends and from every one. You need to learn gradually to understand every single and all truth in the universe until you comprehend the whole Universal Existence. This is a difficult task requiring modesty and perseverance. Once you believed in the Universal Existence so firmly that no one can change your mind you have a Noble Belief.
2. What is Universal Existence?
Those are things existing apparently in the Universe independent to the thoughts of men.
Universal Existence includes:
- Troi is the supreme power Creator of the Universe. Troi created the Universe and men and is controlling every activity in this immense Universe.
- There are Troi space and Physical space, i.e invisible or hidden and visible spaces which are existing in parallel in this Universe.
- There are Upper Buddhas, Emperors and other Gods and Deities who are dwelling in the invisible space in the Universe.
- There are Troi and the Emperor Council (comprising of the Emperors and Gods), Buddha and God Council (comprising of the Upper Buddhas, High Buddhas and Gods heading global religions) who are Troi’s executives to operate this Universe.
- There are laws promulgated by Troi called the Laws of Troi.
- There are Astral and Rough men co-existing in this Universe. The Astral men are a lot more advanced than the Rough men.
- There is an Astral man in the body of each Rough man.
- The duty of each Rough man is to increase his Spiritual Ratio. Cultivating to elevate to higher level in the Universe is the duty of each Rough man or Astral man in this Universe.
- Disease is the way one has to pay for the bad deeds and crimes one committed. If there is no bad deeds or crimes accumulated from previous incarnations there is no disease in this incarnation.
- Etc.
All of the existing things mentioned above are true, existing truthfully, they are not legend and cannot be considered superstition. They exist regardless whether you believe them or not. These existing things are called Universal Existence.
3. What is faith ?
Faith is not believing in a religion, but believing in the Universal Existence.
So you need to believe that it’s true that there are those things mentioned above that existing in this Universe. You need to build up this belief firmly because without such belief there is nothing for your life to discuss.
There are many religions and each person may follow their own religion. But if you only believe in religion without believing that the Universal Existence is an objective truth, you lost a fundamental belief. That’s a rot at the root! If you are always questioning: Is Troi true? Is Buddha true? Are there Emperors? Or is there Astral men? Etc it means you are still in doubt and you will be put aside by the Universal Existence on its way forward. If you completely believe in the Universal Existence you will be accepted and guided by the Universal Existence in cultivating to elevate to the higher level in the Universe. If you don’t believe that your duty in this life is to cultivating (but whether cultivating not is your discretion) it is also a rot at the root.
4. Faith is different to Superstition
Faith is a belief built up on scientific grounds but superstition is un-guided belief on certain thing without correct understanding of such thing. So before puting your belief to a Faith, you need to comprehend such belief. If you believe in Buddhism you need to understand that Buddhism is a scientific truth. It educates mankind to have correct understanding of the Universe and men. It is not a delusive legend. You also need to understand that Shakyamuni Buddha is truth not legend. It’s also necessary to understand the lofty humanity of Buddhism etc. In such way, you can build up your faith. If you have faith you will have strength. Belief only cannot build up strength.
5. Faith must go with honest and compassionate mind
An honest and compassionate mind is needed to gain success in everything we do. If you want to establish a company for business you should not make money at all costs. You need to have a mind to serve for the benefit of society, help other people and the society to develop toward a progressive society. If you are a cultivator you need even more compassion and love-kindness as every religion requires followers to have compassionate mind and not to dream wildly. Cultivation is just for cultivation, not for achieving certain goal or for competing with anyone. Only in such way, cultivation can gain fruitful result. What comes will come and it will come to you beyond your expectation.
