There is a Bodhisattva named Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva.
Buddha was introducing his incredible wills to the Jade Emperor and many other energy gods and Bodhisattvas.

He is in meditation with no beginning, no end, in every moment. Through that, his heart’s concentration is to create all kinds of convenient wisdom systems to help every life.

If anyone in reincarnation can hear his name, see his appearance, and have respect and joy, they will get protected to have birth into any pure land, until they finally become Buddha themselves.

If our heart is aware of this Bodhisattva, he will directly guide us and protect us to become Buddha.

10 different lucky spiritual karma will appear:

  • Women hear his name, when they give birth, their suffering will reduce or disappear.

  • Babies will be born with beautiful, healthy, perfect bodies.

  • Anyone who hears his name with respect — their illness can disappear. Their bad karma can disappear.

  • Their life can be extended in a healthy and joyful way.

  • Their intelligence can be developed higher to be aware of all different angles of life.

  • They will never have to worry about finances.

  • Everybody will respect and love them.

  • Where they live, where they exist, food will always grow very well and mature. No one will have to worry about hunger.

  • Energy gods will protect you, so you can continue to learn philosophy and develop spiritual karma.

  • They will guide and influence you to become completely awakened and become Buddha.

Take out 8 different kinds of fear, fear from:

  • 4 elements

  • War in your country

  • Your own country or people will not betray you

  • Sun and moon will be in harmony

  • The stars will stay in eternity

  • Ghosts and energy gods will only protect and not bother you

  • Hunger will not appear

  • Illness will not appear

In the future, if someone understands his will and sincerely bows to this Bodhisattva, they will not have:

  • Nightmares

  • Bad appearance

  • Unlucky things appear around you, because all the energy gods and ghosts will protect you

  • Many kinds of energy gods will protect you, including all the animal and 4 element energy gods, smell energy god, even cooking energy god (protect you in the kitchen, not to be in danger)

They will all be aware—life is illusion, really empty. Their heart creates it, so they will awaken their heart to create pure land themselves.

The Jade Emperor energy god then asks:
“How does Extension Life Bodhisattva help everyone? How does he do that?”

Well, all the Dharma is empty.

The essence has no birth or death.
Never appears nor disappears.

That eternal power can create from our intention, from everyone’s intention—creates all kinds of appearance. From physical desire to exist, is already unlimited.

Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva will appear as:
Bodhisattva, Buddha, wise man, monk, nun, emperor energy god (like you—Jade Emperor), energy god, devil king, or as the sun, moon, space, or all the stars, appear as 5, 7 or 9 stars joined together. As galaxy, or in the galaxy as galaxy king, as one of the kings of the kingdoms in the galaxy, or as wise men there to help the king. Appear as a businessman, lady, sky human, dragon, awakened wise consciousness, ghost king, all kinds of humans, non-humans, doctor king, as medicine, as farmer, elephant king, lion, buffalo, horse, earth, ocean.

In all the appearances, his heart creates all kinds of wisdom as a bridge—to appear as everything, to help every consciousness awaken. Whatever he appears as is his Dharma wisdom. This Dharma wisdom is in every space. From all the pure lands from Buddhas, to all the hells, in 6 reincarnations. He is constantly aware of all unlimited systems to help everyone develop kindness and get out of bad intentions. Help them develop joyful, kind heart karma.

When every life hears his name, they will all feel incredible, bow to him with sincere heart. If they do that by their own nature heart, then they will get protected by all the energy gods, even ghosts.

This time the Jade Emperor asks:
“Why is his name Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva?”
He said to this kindness consciousness:

His heart is completely awakened, aware of all the possibilities. So it’s called Dharma Will Free Being. His heart can be aware, see through all the illusion. So his heart is called Observing Self Being King. His heart sees through all the birth, death, and disappearing. Can change those and influence them—that’s why Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva. His heart can break all the fear from the hell, so it’s called Hell Bodhisattva. His heart has no border, no limitation. So also named Greatest Heart Hell Bodhisattva. His heart has no appearing form, no limitation. With 4 eternal hearts and 6 Bodhisattva characters all developed perfectly. His heart already reached complete care for every life—compassion equally.

When Buddha finished talking about his heart having reached such a level, Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva suddenly appeared and bowed to Buddha and then said:


“I meditate every day in the morning, try to help everyone out of hell, out of hell suffering. Go to where there is no Buddhas, to help them learn Buddhism. Hopefully in this lifetime or future other lifetimes, find all kinds of convenient wisdom to help them awaken, to help them become Buddha themselves.

Doesn’t matter human or any kind of life, if they ask for protection, if their heart is willing to regret and willing to be kind, I will help them out of all the bad karma.

When they purify their heart, regret all the bad karma, I will right away in this moment change their karma and help them have the possibility to develop Bodhisattva karma, pure land karma, awakened karma.

I saw all life never regret, and are in reincarnation for unlimited lives because of their blind greed and possessiveness. If some consciousness hears my name and realises this is all illusion, nothing they can hold, their heart returns to no beginning, no end, no good, no bad, no searching—I will from there protect them, continue developing convenient wisdom to help them awaken and become Buddha.

If there is one kind of life, or person, that regrets their bad karma and would sincerely like to develop awakened karma, I will protect them to become Buddha.

If one person will not become Buddha, I will not become Buddha.”


Buddha says,
“Incredible will. When I am out of the Earth and the Dharma ending appears, there are many blind karmas from the consciousness created. Only from your will can they be free and regret and be away from all the bad and hell karma—and change into developing Bodhisattva character karma and pure land karma.”

Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva said to Buddha:
“My heart will remain in this sincere will to help every life with joy. Their suffering, I will care as my suffering and find the fastest way to help them release it. Their blindness, I will care as my blindness—help them develop wisdom, help them to see through their blindness.”

Anyone who hears Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva’s name and asks for his protection will all get protected and become Buddha.

When he appears and finishes this teaching, all the Buddhas shoot lights to prove his will is sincere.

All the different Bodhisattvas — 21:40.

They all say:
If anyone hears his name and bows sincerely, regrets their bad karma, and is willing to be awakened, they will also protect this person, make their karma become wise, and help them find a way to become Buddha.

The energy gods also make a will:
If anyone hears his name and is willing to learn to create spiritual karma and regret their bad karma, we will be the Dharma protectors and protect this person.

There are two spiritual kindness consciousnesses holding two lotuses.
One is a white lotus and one is golden.

  • The white lotus purifies all the bad intentions.

  • The gold one helps them develop wisdom.

These two kindnesses are already aware their Dharma is their heart.
They can either be awakened and remain awakened—with eternal good intention, help every life out of bad karma and help everyone develop wisdom and spirits.
Or they do not remain awakened, but because their heart is strong, so disciplined, they choose to remain awakened.

They all become Bodhisattvas.
Protect anyone who wants to regret their karma and wants to learn from Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva as well. They will also follow Extension Life Hell Bodhisattva, to help everyone out of blindness, develop wisdom, and get out of suffering, out of reincarnation—find a pure land to learn and become Bodhisattva and Buddha themselves.
