Chapter 3: God and Buddha Exist Side by Side

In the primordial universe, only seven Ancient Buddhas existed. God and Buddha coexist simultaneously. The revelations provided here will answer many questions about the invisible spiritual world and help dissolve the boundaries between different religions.

1️⃣ God – The Creator

He is the First Ancient Buddha, the Supreme Creator who brought everything into existence, from the material world to the six realms of samsara and all sentient beings. We revere Him as God, the Divine Father.

He radiates a great divine light, and those with deep spiritual affinity may be able to perceive His presence.

God creates beings through two methods:

1. He combines His divine light with His celestial wives to give birth to souls.
2. He replicates His Dharma Body to create Buddha-nature. His wife, Heavenly Empress Holy Mother, then infuses these Buddha-embryos into spiritual entities, which take on various forms.

The Manifestations of God

• In Christianity, He is known as God the Father, the Father of Jesus Christ.

• In Caodaism, a religion that worships God, He is Cao Đài Tiên Ông Đại Bồ Tát Ma Ha Tát.

Throughout history, God has descended to the human world, taking on human forms to guide sentient beings.
