Hello kids, time flies so fast, and suddenly it's time for me and you to meet again.
In the last episode, we heard the story of Little Elephant Lele,
and we learned that different environments have different effects on us,
and we learned the principle of silence is black and silence is white.
In today's episode, I will tell you a beautiful prophecy story.
The name of this story is The Seed of Truth.
I hope that after listening to the story, you can get the seed of truth.
A long, long time ago, there was an ancient country in the far east.
The king of this country was a very ugly toad.
Although he was dressed in human clothes, had the limbs of a human and his appearance,
he looked like a toad.
He had a pair of bulging eyes and a big mouth,
and he had a round belly.
So the people secretly gave him a nickname,
the king of toads.
The king of toads was cruel and evil.
Under his rule, this ancient country was constantly in trouble.
The people were suffering.
One day, a beautiful fairy came down from the sky.
Her eyes shone like stars,
and her clothes shone like colorful clouds.
The king was wearing a bright green flower basket,
and he was holding a flower basket full of flowers.
He sang the most beautiful song in the world,
sprinkling flowers on one side.
The fairy walked through the desert,
and the desert became a beautiful oasis.
The fairy walked through the wilderness,
and the wilderness became fertile land.
The fairy walked through the river,
and the river became clear.
Where she went, there was no sorrow, no hatred,
full of warmth and happiness.
Anyone who saw her could be healthy and happy.
People liked her very much.
This story soon spread to the ears of the king of toads.
He was angry and jealous.
He shouted wildly,
What? Everyone praises her? Everyone likes her?
She is just a little girl,
but she can get so many people's hearts.
How dare her prestige surpass me, the king?
No, this is absolutely not possible. I will kill her.
Jealousy made the ugly king
want to kill this beautiful and kind fairy.
But in order to cover up her evilness and ugliness,
he made up lies with all his heart.
He used the propaganda machine of the whole country
and began to slander the fairy.
He said that the beauty and kindness of the fairy were all fake.
It was the devil that changed.
It will bring misfortune and disaster to people.
Under his lies and propaganda,
many people were deceived by lies.
The fairy saw this situation
and was worried that the vicious lies would destroy humanity.
She knew that only the seeds of truth
could change people's lost souls
and save people's lives.
So the fairy took the seeds of truth
and began to spread the seeds of truth
all over the country regardless of the chase of the toads.
At first, many people didn't dare to believe her.
Gradually, people found that
the fairy was not only beautiful,
but also very sincere and kind.
So many people began to believe in the fairy
and believe what the fairy said.
They also began to be willing to accept
the seeds of truth that the fairy gave them.
One day, the fairy came to a poor man's house.
There was only a blind old lady and a grandson in this house.
They gave the only bowl of porridge to the fairy.
After the fairy finished drinking,
she smiled and gave them a seed of truth.
The seed just touched the old lady's hand
and a golden light flashed by.
The old lady's eyes suddenly became bright.
The bowl of porridge also turned golden.
The fairy came to a village again.
The toads were chasing her.
Many villagers saw the toads avoiding
and pretended not to see.
Only a kind farmer invited the toads to his house
and hid them.
As soon as the toads were hidden,
they came to the door.
Did you see a woman passing by?
The toads asked.
Oh, are you talking about a very beautiful girl?
I saw her.
She seems to have gone east.
The farmer said.
The toads were getting farther and farther away.
When the farmer returned home,
he respectfully said to the fairy,
Please stay in my house for the time being.
When it's safe, you can leave.
The fairy smiled and agreed
and gave the farmer a seed of truth.
The next day, the farmer went up the mountain to cut firewood.
A mountain suddenly collapsed on the way.
All the people on the way were killed.
Only the farmer was safe and sound.
After the farmer returned home,
his son ran over excitedly and said,
Dad, look!
Following the child's finger,
the farmer found that his wife,
who had been in bed for many years,
stood up with red light all over her face.
The farmer couldn't believe his eyes.
The seed of truth was so amazing.
The farmer's neighbor, A-Diao,
was a leisurely wanderer.
On this day, he had just returned home from school,
and he found the fairy in the farmer's house.
He had heard outside that
the fairy could get a lot of money.
So he told the king of the toad overnight.
The king of the toad was very happy
and rewarded A-Diao with a lot of gold.
He wanted to keep him as an official
and called his personal bodyguard,
A-Mao A-Gou,
to arrest the beautiful fairy.
But this is the servant of the toad,
A-Guai, who happened to be visited.
A-Guai had long heard that the fairy was beautiful and kind
and had saved many people.
Kindly, he decided to report to the fairy immediately.
A-Guai, because the fairy was disabled,
walked with a limp.
But on the way to report,
A-Guai was surprised to find that
his legs were not only not limping,
but also walking like flies.
So when A-Mao A-Gou arrived,
the fairy had already safely left the village.
The two guards who came to arrest the fairy
were killed by a flying carriage on the way back to the palace.
The death toll was terrible.
After the king of the toad found out,
he was very angry.
He blamed A-Diao for not getting the reward
and reported the fairy's whereabouts.
A-Diao was scared to death
and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
But the king of the toad, angry,
pulled out a knife and cut A-Diao to death.
The reward gold also rolled out of A-Diao's arms
and scattered all over the place.
The fairy also told people a big secret.
Because the king of the toad did a lot of evil,
many people spoke ill of him for the sake of money.
For this, God has to punish humans.
When the hundred-year-old tree in front of the palace blooms,
those who do not get the seed of truth
will have a disaster.
When the king of the toad heard this,
he laughed.
He thought,
as long as the disaster has not come when the tree blooms,
people will naturally not believe the fairy's words.
So he sent people to take a walk everywhere,
saying that the tree would bloom in three days,
and asked everyone to come and see.
That day, the king of the toad brought people
to the palace early
and arranged the guards to put the fake flowers
one by one on the tree branches.
Who knew that when the ninth fake flower was placed,
the king of the toad suddenly appeared.
It turned out that the king was a three-legged toad.
At this time, people just came from all sides
and saw the truth with their own eyes.
Those who understood the truth shouted angrily,
Kill him! Kill him!
The toad jumped into the water and wanted to escape.
At this time, countless golden arrows were fired from the sky.
The toad was shot to death by the golden arrow on the spot.
His body was floating on the water with his belly.
Then the flood from the sky fell from the sky.
People cried and screamed,
desperately trying to escape.
The beautiful fairy stood in the clouds,
and the colorful flower rings on her head shone.
She waved her long sleeves a few times,
and a huge lotus appeared in the water.
Those who got the seed of truth before
all stood on the lotus.
The lotus held the fairy higher and higher.
And those who refused to accept the seed of truth
were drowned by the raging flood.
That's the end of the story.
Dear children, do you know?
Now in the prophecy story,
the seed of truth is also spreading to us.
So what is the seed of truth?
I will tell you.
The seed of truth is the truth of the universe.
It is the truth of Mahayana.
That is to say, as long as we can remember what Mahayana teachers tell us,
the nine-character mantra,
and be a good person according to the standards of the universe,
that is to say, accept the seed of truth,
we can sit on the lotus in the story,
so that we can escape the storm safely
and have a happy and beautiful tomorrow.
Children, have you all received it?
Well, that's the end of today's story.
Children, see you next time.
