The issue of one Master and three Disciples is very difficult to understand accurately, so recently we have been very cautious and rarely discuss it. The reason is that, looking at the material side, there is one Huynh The Choh (Master), but if we study His entire prophetic scriptures, we see there are many titles, and also one Master along with three Disciples jointly composed the prophetic scriptures and guided humanity. The aforementioned titles, the Master only used to indicate past lives and the spiritual essence. However, lately, many followers who have not studied carefully have been eagerly trying to examine the physical presence of the three Disciples, which has caused many people to be misled, regrettably, due to people faking themselves as practitioners.
So what are the past lives and titles of the one Master and three Disciples?
a.- One Master:: The Master refers to the one who called himself Khùng. In the article ‘Instructions to the Faithful’, the Master confirmed: “Master Khùng, his disciple then becomes Crazy.” And in the People’s Verse, Vol. 2:
“Because of the word Khùng by the Buddha of the Master,
It does not belong to a forgetful person.”
So who was Khùng in the past? That is, he was the Buddha Master Tây An, based on the lecture sentence: “Khùng in his hometown resides on Sam Mountain” (Prophetic Lecture, Vol. 1) and “L
and “The Words of the Deceased Master of Sam Mountain”. (Sấm Giảng, Vol.2) According to historical records, when the Tây An Master Buddha was released by the Châu Đốc authorities, He went to Tây An Pagoda on Sam Mountain to preach, and later He also passed away there. Furthermore, the Master once secretly transmitted to Mr. Đạo Thắng (the ancestor of Mr. Bảy Còn) a poem in eight lines, each line consisting of two characters: “Đạt Đạo Ngao Du Châu Vi Viễn Cận”. (If written in Chinese characters, the first 8 characters all belong to the Xước radical). He instructed: “If someday anyone writes this poem exactly like this, it means I have reincarnated.” Before passing away, Mr. Đạo Thắng passed it on to Mr. Bảy Còn. When the Master opened the Dao, Mr. Bảy came from Long Kiến village to visit, and the Master immediately wrote this poem right in front of Mr. Bảy without a single mistake. Moreover, the Tây An Master Buddha had a prophecy: “When the oil tree sprouts buds, I will wield the royal seal to return to the world.” By the year 1939, when the Master was born, a small oil tree sprout about 7 tấc high had grown in front of Tây An Old Pagoda in Long Kiến village, fulfilling the prophecy.
.The fulfillment of the prophecy mentioned above. Reincarnating into the human world, in the work “Diệu Pháp Quang Minh,” the Master said: “The Holy eyes look over the four seas, A compassionate soul borrows a body to be reborn in the mortal world.” And in another lecture, He explained: “The hand that is turned palm up, Do not turn it palm down because the Master is reincarnating.” (From Saying Farewell to Nhơn Nghĩa Village) Through the events mentioned above, we do not hesitate to acknowledge the Master with the title Khùng as the Buddha Master of Tây An. b. The Three Servants: They are three disciples who closely follow the Master to assist in guiding and saving sentient beings, but they only manifested through incarnations; in reality, there was only one Master seen.
