The Secret Doctrine of Antarabhava This book was developed to help the Vietnamese to understand the process of dying and how to achieve a better reborn such as in a pure-land or in the realm of gods for the progression of spiritual development in the continuous stream of life. In the other words, it helps the Vietnamese to realize the Buddhahood in the moment of death. Death ceremony in Vietnamese Buddhists tradition is solely based on the pure-land conduct and practice. Unfortunately, the dying persons or the corpses in their lifetime may not practice the teaching of pureland (a very hard to believe in practicing) even in 10 moment of thought, nor they even heard the name of the Buddha Amitabha, or the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara with a great faith, nor they lived in harmony with the Buddha’s/Bodhisattva’s Vows. How can these dying persons or corpses reborn in the pureland Sukhavati of the Great Compassion and Great Mercy Buddha Amitabha? One who denied hisher PrincePrincess title shall not be realize he/she is actual a son or daughter of a king or queen. In the same manner, one who never believes in the Buddha/Bodhisattva power and feels shamefully as a Buddhist shall not be reborn in the pureland of the Dharmaraja (King of the universal phenomena) Amitabha! Why? Because they denied their real positions in the royal court of Dharmaraja Amitabha. Therefore, they shall fall in the realm of birth and death forever! The pseudo Buddhist monks and nuns have been conducting a deceitful practice to defraud the family of the dying person(s) or the corpse(s) in order to gain financial and related benefits. On the other hand, the beloved persons of the dying person or the corpse has been wrongly believing that due to the religious ceremony their beloved dying person may go to the Sukhavati and shall become a Buddha in no time! This book is based not on the author idea, but he relied on two extremely important sutras: 1) The Maharatnakuta-Sutra and 2) The Mayjala when developed it. It was the power of the Buddhas in the ten directions of the universe to bestow the author to have a flash of instant wisdom to compose this text in a very short period of time. Whoever wants to rescue the world must read and spread the teaching of this book!
