Foreword
We were fortunate enough to have been introduced to this book by a
relative. Her intention was to give
us the same experience that she had obtained a while ago. We have always been interested in this
matter since we saw a documentary about Nostradamus,
as many of his predictions have astounding accuracy. The predictions or forecasts in this
book are very parallel to those of Nostradamus' but
with diverse context which we personally can associate with even more, because
many of the predictions became part of our history. Many of them are part of our daily
lives.
As Buddhists, we feel that this kind of knowledge and information should
be given to the world to learn and benefit from it. One important thing to do
was to put it in a language that people can understand. We can not change the history but we can
try to change future with what we have learned out of the past. This book can
give the reader a great deal of thoughts and inspiration to do so. We certainly hope that this book will
enlighten you in one way or another as it has us.

Predictions of the Buddha
This
book tells about Buddha's predictions concerning King Pasenadis’16 dreams. In my opinion these predictions will be
of value to those who are interested in studying future events. I tried to keep
to the original text as much as possible and only put it in to a more simple
literary style, so that it can easily be understood by laypeople. Consider its
truth by yourself and may be you can pass this knowledge on to your
descendents, to make them also understand that this “old truth” is still
applicable nowadays.
Further I want to ask you to use your
ability of reasoning and contemplating the truth behind these predictions and
apply the so gained knowledge in your daily life.
Back
in the lifetime of the Buddha there was a king named Pasenadi
of Kosala region who had faith in Buddha. One morning short before he woke up, he
had dreamed of 16 omens that frightened him. He was worried - not knowing
whether the good or bad things he had seen are going to happen or not. He went to Jetavana
Vihara Monastery to ask the Buddha about the meaning
of those 16 dreams. Buddha
explained the meaning of those 16 dreams as follows.
Dream No. 1
King
Pasenadis’ first dream: - he
saw 4 stout oxen came running from all 4 directions. Furious with anger and grudges they
looked like they wanted to fight until death. But when they got close to each other
they just retreated without crashing at all.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Inauspicious) In the distant future, there
will be natural disasters happening everywhere. Rain will not fall in
time. There will be very large
clouds coming from 4 directions and it seems that there will be heavy rain.
Once all 4 clouds have gotten close to one another, they will retreat without a
drop of rain falling to the ground. The results will be draught. Humans and animals will be famished and
die in large quantity. Survivors
will become immoral and finally the 4 superpower countries in the world will
declare war, they verbally fight with each other and try to destabilize the
opponents but all of this will not bring any results or changes. This type of calamity will occur in the
future and can be seen and heard not too long from now.
Dream No. 2
King
Pasenadis’ second dream: - he
saw all kinds of trees, not big enough to be able to bear flowers or fruits but
they were full of fruits and flowers to the extent that the branches and limbs
nearly could not support them.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Trees) In the distant future, daughters that
are too young to have husbands, desire to be married and start a family in
their young age. Some have indulged
prior to their marriage without shame.
Once they are pregnant they will find a way to abort their fetuses
(similar to the adolescent in today's society). With those unwholesome actions
they commit great sins which will have their results in their future. Some adolescents will be under the care
of their parents, some have parents that can’t take care of them. Neglected,
they become vagabonds practicing petty crimes like theft and later even
robbery. Some become beggars,
drifters with no parents, families or a chance for education, no home or
domicile, sleep wherever they happened to be when it’s getting dark. Some may
stay on a bridge waiting to rob someone to support themselves. Those that are attractive become
prostitutes. Some grow up to be
hooligans extorting protection money from new comers. Some just sleep on the roadside.
Some will entice those kids that have problems with their parents
or come from broken families, to become their followers by offering help at
first but once the kids can’t perform their tasks they will leave them without
food in misery. Some of the kids'
limbs will be amputated or their fingers and toes will be cut off so that they
become handicapped and turned into beggars. When it's time to beg they will be taken
by vehicles to various locations but the boss will be well dressed sitting
around monitoring the activities.
When it's time, the vehicle will pick them up. This type of calamity will occur in the
distant future. Those that live in
that epoch will see many of such activities everywhere, day or night without
shame and it will not be too long before it can be heard and seen.
Dream No. 3
King
Pasenadis’ third dream: - he
saw a herd of cows and bulls drinking milk from their offspring.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Bovine) in the distant future, parents will
depend on the labor of their children. Food and other goods, including money,
will be provided by their children.
In that era, parents will have to specially please their children. They
will have to be biased if there are several children and their financial status
is not equal. Parents must flatter
and praise their children; they must talk politely to them in order to get them
to share their money. If parents do
not talk nice to the children, they will not get any of the shares from them
and may get sent to old people’s facilities (Nursing homes). The children might curse at them or
chase them out of the house to live alone.
Perhaps they will buy life insurance on their parents and get rich after
their death (they might have a nicer funeral). This type of calamity will occur in the
distant future, it will not be long to hear and see it happen.
Dream No. 4
King
Pasenadis’ fourth dream: - he saw group of people
harnessing calves to pull their wagons and beat them when they couldn’t do so.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Bovine) in the distant future, people will favor
fresh graduates who lack experience, ability, omniscience and circumspection
and still do not understand social customs, to govern a country, economy,
society. They allow them to govern
the affairs of the country which is a difficult task. Because of their
inexperience they bring about mistakes, they can’t keep up with changes that
occur rapidly, and they lack responsibility and create trade deficits which
will ruin the country. People that
elected them become dissatisfied with the way they govern the country. They
will score them without trying to help them to solve the problems. Protests will occur periodically.
Those who have warm and supporting
families will be able to cope with it.
Those not having family will have to flee the country and some will
commit suicide to escape from those problems. Some will have to separate from families
and cause affliction to their wives and children. Such incidents have occurred countless
times all over the world. Sometimes
they will kill each other because they do not want to be chased away. Sometimes they work for the country but
disobliged their superiors or their financial supporters in election time, so
they will end up getting terminated.
Some that used to conduct business together in the past and became
powerful but could not benefit their clansmen enough will get deposed from
their positions. Those that are
equally powerful will use the country's interest in bargaining and cause
dilapidation to the country. Some
will bring down their superiors to steal their power and hope the people will
believe that their superiors are on their side to gain trust and power. Both groups weaken or even destroy the
country for their own benefits.
This type of calamity will occur in the distant future. It won’t be long and you will hear and
see it happen.
Dream No. 5
King
Pasenadis’ fifth dream: - he
saw a one headed horse with two mouths which can eat grass with both mouths but
will not get full no matter how much it eats.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Equine) in the distant future. Judges will extort money from both sides
of the parties as bribery for inquisition.
Some cases will get postponed to acquire more money. They will request
all kinds of fees for their own satisfaction without mercy or ethics. If they do not get what they want they
will not take the complaint. They
will shamelessly demand as much as they desire.
For small cases, they will demand according to the proportion and
for big cases they will demand for the maximum and only then they will
pronounce the case or overturn the case.
They will annihilate law and justice. This type of activity will occur all
over the world in every society.
This type of calamity will occur in the distant future. It won’t be long and you will hear and
see it happen.
Dream No. 6
King
Pasenadis’ sixth dream: - he
saw a group of rich people bringing extremely expensive golden trays for foxes
to defecate and urinate on them.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Golden Tray) in the distant future there will
be foolish people claiming to be knowledgeable and trustworthy. They are well known in society, mature
but unreliable and they will propagate that they teach the Buddhas’
teaching. In reality they teach out
of selfishness, desire and lust and try to distort the Buddhas’
teachings. They try to adapt the Buddhas’ teachings,
and blend it with their doctrine and declare that my teachings are part of
their doctrine which will make most people misunderstand and assume that my
teachings can blend with their doctrine and believe that they are one and the
same. But those doctrines can’t
comprehend the value of my teachings in any way because their minds are not
pure. This type of people will
exist in the future after my death.
There will be a great variety of doctrines that will claim to be
religion.
People from families out of lower social status will raise their
status with education and gain important position. People from higher social status will
have to give their daughters to people from lower status because it's the era
for lower people to gain power. This happens because those families from higher
status live in negligence. Not too
far in the future all will hear and see, there will be
more turmoil in religions. Monks
will deteriorate in discipline, not obeying their disciplinary rules. They do not practice like monks but like
laymen and are only interested in rank and status. Their followers will try to bring them
rank and titles. There will be great disturbance in religious circles and
people will lose their faith and start to look for other refuges. They will
turn to mediums, magic and fortune tellers because they can give them better
advice than psychiatrists. There
will be more of these things happen in near future; we will be able to witness
this.
Dream No. 7
King
Pasenadis’ seventh dream: - he
saw a man weaving books into ropes on a bench and there were foxes waiting to
bite and eat the rope when it's completed.
Once the rope was completed the foxes ate it all up.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (A man weaving rope) in the distant future,
people with immoral mind will obtain titles, working in high office and relying
on the power of the king. They administrate the affairs of the country on the
behalf of the king with foolishness, lack of intelligence and impolite speech,
revealing intern secrets of the palace to the common people. People from different doctrines with bad
intentions towards the king will hear this and lose respect for the king and
the whole dynasty. This type of
calamity will occur in the future, it will not be long and we will hear and see
this. Those people with bad intentions toward the royalty will become
destructive (like Wasakala Brahmin).
Dream No. 8
King
Pasenadis’ eights dream: - he
saw large earthen jars and small earthen jars in the same location. People will
stand in queue to fill those large earthen jars with water until they overflow
but no one care to fill those small earthen jars.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Earthen Jar) in the distant future people will
make donations selectively. Senior
monks with higher rank will get attention and people will give too much
offerings with expensive goods and food, whereas novices sitting beside those
senior monks will not be presented with any offerings at all. The people will have to work much harder
to pay their tax to the country without thinking of saving some for themselves. They will seek accommodations which satisfy
their desires for luxury and comfort without end. This type of calamity will occur in the
future. It will not be too long for
all to see and hear.
Dream No. 9
King
Pasenadis’ ninth dream: - he
saw a pond with clear water but the water in the middle of the pond was muddy
and dirty. All animals went to the center of the pond to drink but they didn’t
care about the clean and cool water at the ponds bank, they just smelt it and
passed by it.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Large pond) in the distant future people will
be endlessly greedy, they can’t get enough possessions. Honest work will not be desirable
because the small salary they receive for it is not satisfying to their greedy
minds. They apply for jobs in
politics and once voted they handle the states affairs and finances with
corruption. They try to get as much as possible out of their job as long as
they have it. They work with the motto “may the best man win”. This type of
calamity will occur all over the world, in every country and every territory.
It will multiply enormously and cause turmoil on every continent. Some will be
more corrupt than others and then they will eventually expose each others'
secrets and can’t get along anymore.
Each party will have their own clique. Occasionally there will be revolutions
and coup d' etat because of fights among the demons
in suits.
Capitals will not be suitable living places because of an increase
of dangers. The public will migrate
to rural areas. This type of
calamity will occur in the future.
It will not be too long for all of us to hear and see.
Dream No.
10
King
Pasenadis’ tenth dream: - he
saw rice in a pot which was in different states of the cooking process. Cooked
in one section and half cooked in another section and totally raw in yet
another section.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Uncooked) in the distant future most people in
the world will have differences in thoughts. One group believes that I am their
refuge and truly respect me. They
believe that my teachings are correct and when practiced to completion, it will
lead them to completely overcome suffering. They believe in nibbana,
heaven and hell and that there is such thing as good karma and bad karma. But
they do not change, and when they die while still have passions and desires,
they will be reborn.
Another group is not sure if nibbana
still exists in this time because it is long time ago that the Buddha was alive
on this earth.
They wonder if the Buddha's teaching is still originally. They wonder if monks that practice good
self conduct will achieve nibbana. They are full of doubts and uncertainty
and because of this they fail to do any good deeds or practice ethic
principles. They wander without refuge, lack in morality and finally find no
refuge in their old age because they did not do any good deeds to prepare for
the future.
Another group will totally reject the concept of nibbana. They
do not believe in life after death and therefore are bound to mistreat their
parents, society, steal Buddha images and sell them and steal from the
temples. When Buddhism comes to its
declining state, people will misinterpret the Buddhas
teachings and prefer immorality more and more. It will not be long for all of us to
hear and see this.
Dream No.
11
King
Pasenadis’ eleventh dream: - he
saw a group of people exchanging cores of red sandal wood which is expensive to
trade with just a pot of sour milk which is absolutely incomparable in value.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Core of red sandal wood) in the distant
future, a group of people will trade my teachings for money. They will publish
and sell them to make a living. They will try to make all kinds of business
with my teachings to earn money which is incomparable to the value of the
teachings. It won’t be long then philosophers
will interpret that my teachings are the same as other religions'
teachings. They will say that I
teach everybody to be good (but my teachings teaches people to achieve nibbana, which is reached by standing above good and bad)
and philosophers will not practice my teachings but they will try to interpret
my teachings to appear to be enlightened ones. There will be lots of these philosophers
in the future. These calamities
will occur towards the end of the Buddhist era. It will not be long and all will
certainly hear and witness this.
Dream No.
12
King
Pasenadis’ twelfth dream: - he
saw a dried up hollow bottle gourd sinking into the water which would normally
float on the water. This truly
baffled him.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Dried up hollow bottle gourd) in the distant
future, good knowledgeable and wise individuals both monks and laymen who
deserve praise and admiration in society will be hindered by groups of bullies
repeatedly. Good laymen will not
get the chance to work in the countries administration. Those that are
knowledgeable, capable and honest will not be elected into the higher
government positions and if they will be elected then there will be groups of
dishonest people working for their own benefits trying to harass them. These dishonest people will regard the
good people as evils and they will try to cover their own misconducts.
Good people will not get a chance in their society and monks will
get the similar treatment. Good and
well disciplined monks, highly educated, which strive for the achievement of nibbana or work to help the society will be considered as
undesirable to them and get no respect from them. They may share their abundant
necessities but without clear conscience or they may just offer very small amounts
just to get by. Those monks will
have a difficult life; people will not want to go into monk-hood for this
reason. Eventually, good monks will
fade away and disappear from society.
This type of calamity will occur in the future and it will not be long
before all will see and hear.
Dream No.
13
King
Pasenadis’ thirteenth dream: - he
saw a solid block of stone as big as a ship floating of the surface of water
like an empty bark. Normally such
stone would sink but that block of stone just floated on the surface of water.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Big solid stone) in the distant future, bad
people will get praised and be admired in society. They will have rank and power; they will
be popular and dignified. They will
have many subordinates and followers.
If they were laymen they will be well-liked and respected everywhere
they go. The crowd will greet them
and please them they are like a big mirror that reflexes the image of that
country. Prosperity or decline of
the community of such a country will be seen in this big mirror. The congress
is this big mirror; it reflects the character of the elected members. The elected congressional members will
have similar character to those that voted for them because they will pick the
type of people that are similar to them.
The trait will be the same for clerics or ascetics, whether the religion
will prosper or decline will depend on all of the 4 congregations.
Without help, monks alone will not be eminent among the
community. Monks can become famous
because their followers advertise their goodness or sacredness and the miracles
they have performed. Their
followers advertise their knowledge and abilities, whether the monks like that
or not. Disciples of some monks will determine the character of their own
teachers and turn them into saints or so called “Established Saints”.
Disciples will make the public know how strictly their teachers
follow the principles, beyond the actual truth. This is the floating solid stone that's
so eminent; it’s a business hiding beneath the yellow robes of the monks. Some will arrange tours to visit temples
just to get a cheap vacation and overcharge others in the group. Some of them
will take a part of the donations.
Religion can not depend on these people because they misuse it to make a
living. Finally people will lose
faith because they can see the unworthiness of monks in that era. People with
wisdom, stability of mind, and the ability to reason will seek for “true”
monks. In the time of decline of
Buddhism this type of calamity will certainly occur. It will not be long for all to hear and
see for themselves especially during the time of recession or war this will
happen everywhere.
Dream No.
14
King
Pasenadis’ fourteenth dream: - he
saw a small toad chasing an enormous cobra for a meal. Once caught, the toad immediately
devoured the snake.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (A small toad chasing enormous black cobra once
caught she immediately devoured it as if it were a small insect) in the distant
future, famous monks with great ability to give rhetoric speeches gain influence and power. They
start to play an important role in society, are respected and trusted by people
and gain admiration. That makes them become conceited, without conscience, and
they do not know how to be humble.
They lack of wisdom and therefore lack of the ability to control
their five senses and the mind. They get attached to beautiful sights, sounds,
fragrances, flavors, tangible sensations and pleasant thoughts. This will be
followed by passion for love and sex. They become possessed by sexual desire
and therefore small toads (women) will see the opportunity to seductively lure
with charming words that fascinate the cobras. And then the toad devours the
cobra. In the distance future all
will see and hear this for themselves.
Dream No.
15
King Pasenadis’
fifteenth dream: - he saw a crow surrounded by golden
swans wherever the crow went, those golden swans will surround it as followers.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Golden swans served a crow) in the distant
future, newly ordained monks and novices whose morals are not quite pure will
surround, admire and pay respect to immoral monks as teachers. The crow is clever and devious in giving
gifts in return for the respect of all little swans, small swans, and big
swans. The swans will show how
important the crow is by sending gifts every month. Every year they will gain
more status and titles. They will
not work for religion but they flatter the housemaster for status in return.
When the era of decline
of Buddhism is coming, there will more immoral monks. Monks and novices who lack of education
and guidance in monkshood will not understand the discipline and their duties. They will not conduct their daily prayer
but just watch TV, those in the rural area will enter monkshood for the sake of
tradition or they do it for money, some will do it on their parents' request
and while being ordained they will bring entertainment to the temple which
violate the rules and regulations of priesthood and bring unwholesome kamma for their parents and relatives. They do not perform
monks’ duties and lack of discipline.
They neither listen nor pay attention during dhamma
teachings. They talk without respect and are even proud of their immoral
behavior, without shame and not afraid of the results of their unwholesome
deeds. This will happen in the
distant future and all will hear and see.
Dream No.
16
King Pasenadis’
sixteenth dream: - he saw a herd of goats hunting
tigers and enjoying eating the tiger’s meat.
Buddha
made the prediction that: - (Tigers were afraid of being hunt by goats and
disappeared) in the distant future, people will not be satisfied with a
monarchy. They will turn against the monarchy and vote for democracy. In order
to decrease the role and the power of the King they put him under the same
administration and the same laws.
When the King rejects the proposal, they will start a coupe d’etat to seize power in accordance with their
desires. If any King resists, they
will eradicate the monarchic regime of that country. In some countries the King consents to
the people’s demand and surrenders his power. Then he will be highly respected,
trusted, and praised as their moral supporter and a God like individual and be
the center of people’s moral.
Once the King consents to the wishes of the people the voted
democratic government will soon be misguided and believing that they rightfully
deserve their status, they misuse their power to benefit themselves and their
siblings. Eventually there will be
other equally powerful groups which to try to take over and this will endlessly
go on. This type of event will
happen in the distant future and we all will hear and see it.
Things to
ponder
Readers,
men and women, bear in mind that we all have to support goodness to set good
samples for the future of our descendants.
We should regard Buddha’s predictions as “Forecast”. Forecasts are superior to predictions
because predictions are meant for short term.
What’s the meaning of it being superior?
For example, predictions were made by astrologers of the king and
by the 108 Brahmins which were invited to the palace, to make predictions for
the future of Prince Siddhartha. These predictions had to be calculated
concerning time, factors and mathematic formulas. Buddha used his special wisdom that he
had gained through practicing uncountable lifetimes and through his ability to
clearly visualize. He only spoke of
his forecast once and never again and all of them came true as he'd said it
over two thousand years ago.
Almost every forecast happens in today’s society. These
forewarnings were given to the world to acknowledge - not only for King Pasenadi. We
can see it happen in many societies in the world. The author of this book did not believe
it as he read the scriptures but came to realize how accurate the forecast was,
as he reflected on many occurrences throughout many epochs. His forecast truly benefits the world
and therefore the author decided to compile and give it to those who have faith
in the Buddha’s teachings. The
author wants to apologize for any error that the book may have. Any merits will be given to those who
helped in publishing this book. The
author wishes all those involved in the publishing of this book, prosperity and
happiness.
The Translators and Reviser also ask for apology for any mistakes
in the translation.
Appendix
Five
Stabilities
After
the Parinibbana (final nibbana)
of the Buddha, these forecasts have marked periodically every 500 years rising
and 500 years of decline of morality and ethics.
1. Stabilized freedom; 500 years after
Buddha’s death, moral principles prospered, people were abundant with merits,
faith was unwavering and many achieved ultimate wisdom and became liberated.
(From B.E. 1-500)
2. Stabilized concentration ; the second
500 years after Buddha’s death, people tried to earn merit from meditation
practice therefore people meditated more, and many reached a high level of
absorption (jhana). (From B.E. 500-1000)
3. Stabilized listeners; the third 500
years after Buddha’s death, less merit was done, many observed and knew the
teachings well, they were talking about the teaching but fewer actually
practiced. (From B.E. 1000-1500)
4. Stabilized temples; the fourth 500 years
after Buddha’s death, in this period those
who ordained were not pleased in listening to the teachings, they
concentrated on building temples, pagodas and living places, to improve their
image or to have better accommodation while being a monk. (From B.E. 1500-2000)
5.
Stabilized controversy; the fifth
500 years after his death, in this Buddhist era religion deteriorated. The observers of the teachings abandoned
the Sila (morality), Samadhi (concentration) and Panna (wisdom) but contradicted and competed among
themselves, misbehaved, violated the principles to the point of condemnation.
They did not believe in the principles “doing good, will have good results and
doing bad will have bad results” (From B.E. 2000-2500)
Once
Phra Ananda dreamed of a
large lion death, immediately there were maggots all over the lion. Phra Ananda told the Buddha about his dream the Buddha sighed
and said to Phra Ananda,
“In the future buddhism will be destroyed by people
within the Sangha.” So in the fifth era religious doctrines
and people will be competing with one another. They will cause a great number
of controversies; they will fight for status and benefits secretly and out in
the open.
“500
years after” means this last era, from now on - two thousand five hundred and
some years after Buddha’s death, is the time that moral principles will
flourish again. The circle of dhamma returns to the first five hundred years of
Stabilized freedom, an era that saves mankind from being unwholesome throughout
the three worlds (heaven, earth, and hell).
Predictions
of the Buddha Part 2
The World’s
Revolution
Buddha’s
teachings predicted about changes in the world. World means creatures that
includes mountains, plants, rivers, water, natural resources such as minerals
and humans change as time passes.
A
group of pilgrims undertook the mission to go to
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu!
The Buddha having compassion for all creatures that were born to struggle, when
his death was near, he said to his disciple Phra Ananda:
“Listen
to me Ananda, all creatures that are born into this
world have to suffer, no matter what nationality, religion, believe they are,
everywhere, all over the world, they all have to go to an end.
My teaching will last 5,000 years after my death, when the world
reach the half time of my teaching (2,500 years), half of all human and animals
will face major catastrophes from all directions. Within 30 years, they will see things
that they have never seen before, a stone giant that was cursed to sleep will
wake up to create disturbances.
At the half time of my
religion, there will be more dangers by day and night. People following other
beliefs will kill one another; bloodshed will be everywhere, on land and in the
seas. Dangers will also come from
every direction of the sky. Fire
will continuously to burn mankind; they will destroy each other like blood
thirsty demons. Rage will come over
land and sea. When half of mankind
has been eradicated the battles will cease because each side will be exhausted.
For
those that stay in virtue, their suffering will be less severe. Those that pay respect to the Bodhitree and the robes (of Buddhist monks) the calamity
will be minimized but still even they will be unable to escape nature.
From
year 2485 B.E. fire will spread to the east and burns temples. Monks, Nuns, laymen and Laywomen will
suffer starvation, people will live in the jungles, and animals will come to
town. Cities will be in turmoil
because of selfish people.
Fireballs from flaming skies (like bombs),
metals will rise from seas (missiles).
The oceans will have strong turbulences, the crust of the earth
will be affected, and Tsunamis will swallow millions of animal and human
continuously for years. There will
be 7 Tsunamis. The first Tsunami
will hit
This type of events occurred a thousand years ago and will happen
again in the next century, due to global warming. People try to control nature
and end up destroying it (example: the powerful countries in the world doing
experiments with atomic bombs).
Wars happens everywhere, constant battles, military will be superior in
almost every country. Food will be
short in supply, people will starve.
Chaos will happen among classes and castes. Orders will reverse in many levels.
Once
Buddhism passed through the year of the big snake, people will crawl instead of
walking, in the year of small snake, the river banks will collapse, and land
will submerge under the sea. In the
year of chicken the earth will be dark for 7 days and 7 nights and heads for
disaster. Scrupulous people will
escape the catastrophe and develop Metta (Loving
kindness) and Sila (Morality). They should recite the following chant
every morning and evening :
"He
ta she ra tan Mon ka lo un ka Si la ka
la sa
Sa sa sa Ti ho tat hi ho ku ha ka nae" recite this verse regularly, write it
down on paper or white cloth and pin it to the front of the house or head of
the bed or wrap it around your head to escape or avoid dangers and
disasters.
Listen
to me Ananda, I feel compassion with all living beings in this world
that only live to the half time of the era when it crumbles. In the year of the dog after my religion
declines, the moon will begin to emit rays to the earth. Then in the year of
the rat or 30 years after, the unscrupulous, those who lack ethic principles
and are devoid of morality will vanish from the face of the earth, because they
do not believe in and disrespect the teachings. The unscrupulous will
eventually be defeated, the garuda will fly back to
the skies; monks from the forests will return to the cities and preserve the
teachings.
Morality will win. Religion will stay as national
institution; people will be ethical and will not exploit one another. Everyone will return to a life with
moral principles and they will live with contentment. A righteous man will be born as a
prince with the heart of a bodhisattva and under the guidance of a certain
patriarch who is a bodhisattva as well; they will nourish my teaching and make
it bloom again.
This
era is the "civilized" era; a certain patriarch will be born 2454
years after my death. 2467 to 2486
years after my death the righteous bodhisattva will be born in the royal
family. Both of them will reside on
the east side of central

The smell of corpses was everywhere. The streets were abundant and silent no
pedestrian were seen because they were hiding in their homes, afraid of

Majesty the King ordered the firing of cannons ceremony around the walls of the
palace for 1 night, to respect the Emerald Buddha and Buddha's relics. He asked
various temples to pray "Prayers for Giant" to chase despicable
curses believed to be the cause of the illness. The plaque lasted almost 2 months and
caused over 30,000 deaths. This is

10. 2572 - 2582 B.E. Worry free era.
The
present time is in 7th era "Admiring the traitor" it’s an era that
unmoral attitudes affect the country, causes the country to be disunited,
facing all kinds of troubles. There
is a forecast toward the end of year of the dog 2549 B.E. period of moonless
nights. People will suffer from
many causes. This is called 8
distresses and they are:
Distress
from flood coming from the melting ice mountains which raise the sea level
Distress
from selfishness
Distress
from lack of food
Distress
from family separation
Distress
from death in the fields
Distress
from inconvenience to leave the country
Distress
from inability to sleep
The
capital did not only suffer from war but also from other endless problems. These 8 distresses will occur in
Government minor officials will become scapegoats. The top administrator will bring their
followers as subordinates. Many
groups will use the country's benefit as a front to build trust from the
people. These types of people only
seek to profit themselves. It will
not be long before we get to see for ourselves. As a matter of fact, the author learned
from many teachers about forecasting
The author could not
truly believe that the teachers' forecast will come true and did not quite
agree with them at first. But
today, I understand and witness the reality of the forecast. If the readers are interested to read
more about which provinces will face the most dangers, they should do so and
will understand better. Who will solve
the problems for
I
will like to thank those that were interested enough to have read the whole
book. It will not be a bad idea to
prepare yourself and be careful. The author is always prepared as well
because I have not believed in the forecast until I saw it for myself.
The
author wishes everybody to escape all dangers, stay healthy, wealthy and happy!
If
buddhism exists, we stay
alive.
If
buddhism vanishes, Thai will
exist no longer.
