Today is January 12th 2013, December 1st in the Chinese lunar calendar. Now China is in winter, the coldest time of the year. Especially this year, the temperatures in many regions have reached the lowest temperature in the past thirty years.

It is too cold. So all of you need to protect yourselves from the cold, put on more clothes and take good care of yourselves. In freezing weather, it is unfit to go out. So we can just be at ease at home or choose a quiet place, where we can be calm and read the sages’ books, drink light tea and practise self-cultivation.

Read as many books as possible. Read good books, and read the sages’ books.

The ancient sages and scholars of the past gave us many teachings about the universe, nature, society, life, science, philosophy, art and so on. There are so, so many. All of these are worth studying for our learning. Only when we use the crystallisation of wisdom in the ancient sages and scholars of the past for reference can we do a better job in promoting our level of awareness.

I hope that you all form the good habit of learning. Learn every day and take the pith from human civilization. Study with perseverance and don’t slack off.

One of the important purposes of our coming to the earth is to experience, study, and ascend.

The overall intelligence level of earthly humans is not high in the universe and is in the middle and lower section at present.

In the history of earthly humans, there have been many people of high intelligence who have facilitated leaps during key periods of earth-civilization development.

These people of high intelligence who were reincarnated to the earth played a significant advancement role in the development of earth civilization, and made outstanding contributions. Their names have gone down in history. As for these people, it’s inconvenient for Osifu to point out their names one by one.

Among these people who have made monumental contributions to earth civilization, some of them have been written into the annals of history, recorded in lists of merit and virtue, looked upon as ancient sages and wise philosophers, or respected as great leaders; while some of them were burned to death, crucified by nails, cruelly killed or persecuted to death.

Earth Humans are selective about people of high intelligence.

Earth Humans have likes and dislikes about people of high intelligence.

Earth Humans are contradictory about people of high intelligence.

That people of high intelligence appear on the earth is one of the indispensable conditions in the development of earth civilization. In other words, without the guidance of people of high intelligence, earth civilization couldn’t have developed to today’s level.

Nowadays, the development of earth civilization has reached a critical period, so a large number of people of high intelligence have been reincarnated to the earth.

These people of high intelligence have been reincarnated in different countries, different races, different regions, different social classes, different ages and different careers. Their locations of reincarnation, life track, parents, marriage, educational level and so on were designed well in advance by cosmic beings in a higher dimension. (Of course, some adjustment in to a narrower range occurred according to the needs of cosmic operation.)

These people of high intelligence all have their own specific missions, but the overall mission is the same: to bring bliss to all under heaven and to benefit all living beings.

The missions of these people of high intelligence were bestowed by cosmic high-dimensional beings, of course; and of course, they follow their own will as well. The universe exercises the rule of respect and won’t compel anyone by force to do anything, or implement any mission.

These people of high intelligence have already been born on the earth and there will still be some to be born on the earth in succeeding generations. Here, a point needs to be clarified, which is that there is no saviour among these people of high intelligence because there is not a saviour at all in the universe. The saviours-of-earth humans are earthmen themselves, and the saviour of each person is himself or herself.

The process of these people of high intelligence fulfilling their missions on the earth is extremely hard. Some of them even face the danger of bloodshed or death. Although they came here to help earthmen and have already become one with earthmen, earthmen will also injure them, kill them and persecute them.

Throughout the history of earth civilization, each group or each person of high intelligence who came to the earth to carry out the mission, was faced with extreme difficulties, and every step was full of hardships. Many people of high intelligence lost their lives while accomplishing their missions. Surely, the soul won’t die. Only the body of flesh dies.

Every time in referring to this issue, Osifu feels extremely desolate and heartbroken.

However, people of high intelligence are indeed highly intelligent people, and they come to the earth persistently, like wave advancing upon wave.

For the sake of finding their relations and family who are wandering and lost on the earth, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making the earth achieve balanced, scientific and sustainable development, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making the sky of the earth much bluer, making the grass much greener, making water much clearer and making people more kind-hearted, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making earthly beings equal, free, harmonious, peaceful and friendly, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making the earth full of brightness, love, compassion and auspiciousness, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making the earth cleansed, purified, evolved, sublimated and ascended, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For the sake of making earthly beings keep away from all sufferings, get rid of samsara and gain ultimate liberation, they spare no sacrifice of their lives and come to the earth again and again.

For this, for that, for the sake of so many, they came to the earth repeatedly again and again.

Having come here over and over again – so many of them – they have practised dedication and sacrifice, spared no effort in the performance of their duties, and done their best time and time again until their hearts ceased to beat.

Praise all the people of high intelligence who have made an outstanding contribution to earth-civilization!

Although Osifu is just an ordinary earthman, Osifu would like to make his minor dedication to the development of earth-civilization as well.

Osifu will perform according to the Way, to be a practitioner of cosmic laws.

Osifu will be egoless and unconditioned, to be a practitioner of natural rules.

Osifu will bring bliss to all under heaven, to be a practitioner of compassionate dedication.

Osifu will benefit all sentient beings, to be a practitioner of light and great love.

9  Study with perseverance

Well, the tea has cooled off. Today, Osifu made a cup of Kunlun snow-chrysanthemum tea. Light fragrance mingles with the bitter. This kind of faint fragrance, which can be found nowhere but in Kunlun Mountain, is ethereal, misty, elusive and intangible.

Well, it is getting late.

Bless you all!
