TOURING THE FOURTH TRIBUNAL - MEETING WITH WU GUAN WANG

Quote from Buddha Tse Kong:

Mankind! Why are you so hurry-scurry?
Do three daily meals keep you busy?
Mankind! What is your desire?
Are you preoccupied all day with honors and gains?
Mankind! What on earth makes you so passionate?
Are you plagued with desire and your body disagrees?
Mankind! Of what are you thinking?
Do illusions almost drive you mad?
Mankind! What have you obtained during your existence?
Will a burdened life leave you with empty hands at death?
Mankind! What will happen to the lascivious?
Bad karma: Family virtue lost, greed begets hate.
Mankind! What are you waiting for?
Return to the right Way and regenerate continuously.
Mankind! What are you doing in the way of religion?
Rise from the mire and take excursions that are fun.
Mankind! Where will you go on your excursions?
Profound enjoyment awaits you aboard the “Arch of Mercy”.
