Câu chuyện số 2 - Thần Nguyễn Trung Trực by Old-Guru - on 12 Nov 2008, 02:52 - Translated from Vietnamese by NgocXuan

Edited by Horangi

Dada is of Cambodian-Vietnamese descent. However, a series of events led him to identify more closely as Vietnamese-Cambodian. His journey intertwines with the veneration of a Vietnamese deity, Nguyễn Trung Trực, a national hero.

The reasons for Dada's relocation from Sóc Trăng to Cambodia are complex. In summary, the circumstances of the era and his personal situation forced his departure. Dada shared that he faced significant financial struggles and lacked connections in Cambodia, finding himself in a dire predicament (faced with an abyss ahead and a tiger in pursuit).

Wandering the streets and returning to his temporary shelter, he experienced profound desolation and near despair. Interestingly, although Dada practiced Buddhism, he turned to gods and spirits in his darkest moments. On this occasion, he earnestly prayed to Deity Nguyễn Trung Trực, a figure deeply revered in his province, and his prayers were answered.

In a dream, Nguyễn Trung Trực advised him to be at a specific location at a certain time the following day, where a benefactor would arrive to assist him. He was instructed to follow a given itinerary.

True to the dream, a couple approached him the next day, inquiring about his name before presenting him with a basket of food and a packet of money, claiming they were instructed by Nguyễn Trung Trực to do so.

Excited, Dada headed towards the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, despite concerns about lacking legal documents or relatives in Cambodia. Miraculously, as if led by divine spirits, he encountered some impoverished Cambodian women who invited him to oversee an unattractive, deserted pagoda, shunned by local monks. Gradually, they secured official documentation for Dada, allowing him to legally stay in Cambodia and settle down during his initial days in the foreign land.

Dada firmly believes that it was Nguyễn Trung Trực who manifested himself to aid him three times. He vividly recalls the deity's words during their last encounter: "This is the last part of Vietnamese soil under my jurisdiction. Keep going forward, and someone from the other side of the border will continue to assist you."

In time, Old_Guru promises to share more stories involving other deities such as Lê Văn Duyệt and Saint Trần Hưng Đạo.

Analysis of the story of Deity Nguyen Trung Truc"

1. This story verifies the existence of the heroic spirit of anti-French resistance fighter Nguyen Trung Truc and the principle of living as a general and dying as a deity.

2. The tale affirms the enduring spirit of the heroic anti-French fighter Nguyen Trung Truc and the principle of transitioning from a mortal general to a revered deity upon death. Not every military leader achieves such divine status; it requires both military prowess and moral integrity. A skilled general without virtue risks punishment in hell, demotion, or exile. This principle extends to spiritual practitioners. To receive heavenly rewards, they must contribute positively to society and uphold virtuous conduct. Mere rituals and empty practices yield only temporal accolades, not spiritual elevation. Those who exploit spirituality for personal gain or promote falsehoods risk condemnation to hell. Without true spiritual attainment, they find themselves mere shadows (underworld militia) in the afterlife.

3. Deity Nguyen Trung Truc revealed to the CDD the invisible laws: Every nation has its own guardian deity, in other words, the guardian deity of each nation only cares for that nation. If a nation is abandoned by its guardian deity, it will cease to exist. A nation that is erased will gradually lose its language, culture, and religion (such as Cham, Tibet...).

4.The monk CDD, along with anyone drawn to spirituality and the mystical, all experience divine manifestations aimed at fortifying their faith. Established religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism, Chinese Esoteric Buddhism, or Japanese Esoteric Buddhism, are human-made organizations bearing religious labels solely to impart rules and dogmas to their followers. Followers of such religions lack the sacred seal necessary for guidance from celestial beings.

The crux lies in spiritual affinity. Those with it can adhere to any religion and receive divine manifestations, while those without it won't, regardless of their chosen faith. Since religions are man-made constructs, their adherents lack personal guidance from celestial beings. The absence of spiritual guides often leads to religious conflicts and crusades among them.

The Old_Guru Secret Teachings originate from Heaven, providing practitioners with individual divine guidance. Their teachings focus on spiritual cultivation for inner peace and happiness, not competition in the name of religion.

5. The spiritual entities of Vietnam reveal themselves to teach humanity the importance of worshiping the deities and Buddhas native to Vietnam, rather than pursuing those of Europe, India, Tibet, or Greece. In the Christian scriptures, there's a passage that illustrates this:
"...One day, a Canaanite woman, not of Jewish descent, approached him, pleading for the healing of her daughter. Jesus responded: 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' But she persisted: 'Lord, help me.' To this, he added: 'It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs.' Dogs were deemed unclean by the Jews. (Matthew 15:22-28). It's evident that Jesus declined aid to the outsider and focused solely on helping the Jewish community.

6. The story imparts a crucial principle of the supernatural: when a divine manifestation occurs, it is unmistakably clear. The CDD not only received assistance from the deity NTT once, but three times, with an additional couple acting on NTT's orders to provide food and money to the CDD. Clarity is paramount in the realm of the supernatural; there is no room for ambiguity. There's no need to decipher which manifestation is divine and which is fabricated or spread through hearsay. Mysticism should not be perceived as vague or subject to personal interpretation. Genuine mysticism involves collaboration from various sources and individuals, rather than being solely the creation of any individual monk.
