CHRISTMAS 1925
The Jade Emperor, or CAO DAI TIEN ONG DAI BO TAT MA HA TAT *, teaching the Way in the Southern Land.
Eternally I hold sovereign power,
Willingly practice spiritually and receive Heaven’s Grace.
The Profound Ways are showered upon all the mortal realm,
Though beings be countless, through endless years, are fully recorded without exception.
Rejoice this night, December 24th, for it is the day I descend to teach the Way in the West (Europe).
I am greatly pleased to see my disciples revere me so.
This house (the house of M. C…) will be filled with My grace.
The time draws near, await My command.
I shall manifest wonders to deepen your devotion.
CHIEU KY TRUNG do dan HOAI SANH
BAN dao khai SANG QUI GIANG thanh;
HAU DUC TAC CU thien dia canh.
HUON MINH MAN (1) dao thu dai danh. **
1. The capital letter words are the names of the first 12 disciples of
the Supreme Being. The last three names of the last verse are
the names of the seance participants
** Meaning: Beckoning flags of loyalty and salvation, guide the cherished life’s birth.
The fundamental Way’s initiation thrives on valued teaching’s completion.
With profound virtue, one resides within the cosmic realm.
In returning to clarity and celestial brightness, one attains a position of prominence.
* Cao Dai, The Immortal, the Great Bodhisattva Mahasattva.
