Such were the twenty books of Ka&#8217;yu, which were the pith and cream of the eighteen<br \/>\nthousand books of the ancients, together with all the light of the latter days added thereto.<br \/>\nAnd in not many years, these also became the standard books of the Chine&#8217;ya empire.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And the Council of Ts&#8217;Sin&#8217;Ne came to a close, and the disciples of Ka&#8217;yu departed to<br \/>\ntheir respective provinces, taking copies of the books with them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. God had said to his inspiring angels: Suffer not Ka&#8217;yu to know he receiveth light from<br \/>\nheaven, for he shall be as an example to men, to inspire them to perfect the talents created<br \/>\nwithal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. And it was so; and during all these years of labor, Ka&#8217;yu knew not that he was<br \/>\ninspired.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. And God looked upon the empire of Chine&#8217;ya, and he said: Behold, my son shall write<br \/>\nother books, but less profound.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. And God inspired Ka&#8217;yu to write:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. A B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OOK OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AMILY <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AYINGS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31.A B<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OOK OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NELECTS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32.

Nevertheless, his fame became so great that many men followed him about, even<br \/>\nwhen he traveled into distant provinces, and they watched for the words he spake, and<br \/>\nthey wrote them down, and these were also made into books.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">37. Because of the presence of God and his angels, Ka&#8217;yu saw clearly and heard<br \/>\nclearly; nevertheless, his inspiration was God by proxy, and not like the inspiration<br \/>\nof Chine, to whom God came in person, dwelling with him. Wherein, on<br \/>\nmany occasions, Ka&#8217;yu did things of his own accord, and committed some blunders.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">END OF THE HISTORY OF KA\u2019YU.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 38<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AGAIN OF THE TRIUNES.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When the Triune Gods perceived the great work accomplished by God, Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nSon, in Vind&#8217;yu and Chine&#8217;ya, thus going to the root of the resurrection, they<br \/>\nwere sorely troubled for the ultimate prospect of their own heavenly kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Ennochissa, Triune of Eta-shong, the heavenly kingdom over Chine&#8217;ya, sent an<br \/>\ninvitation to his two brother Triunes, to come to his heavenly city, to confer as to what<br \/>\nshould be done.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Accordingly, Kabalactes and Looeamong went to Eta-shong, where they were received<br \/>\nin great grandeur, by one thousand million angels, and conducted to Ennochissa&#8217;s<br \/>\nheavenly capital and to his throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. After due salutations and ceremonies, the Triunes all took seats on the throne.<br \/>\nWhereupon the Holy Council retired from the presence, leaving only the Lords-inattendance and the chief marshals within the crescent of the throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Ennochissa said: My brothers, peace be with you, because of my great joy for your<br \/>\npresence.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Behold, Chine&#8217;ya, my earthly kingdom is being sapped in the foundation by the<br \/>\nKa&#8217;yu&#8217;an (Confucian) doctrines. What more will these people care for the Trinity? Jehovih<br \/>\nis triumphant.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Kabalactes said: As thou hast spoken of Chine&#8217;ya, so say I of Vind&#8217;yu: The doctrine of<br \/>\nthe Trinity is being entirely destroyed by the Sakaya&#8217;yan doctrines. Our heavenly<br \/>\nkingdoms will lose their base of supplies for subjects. Jehovih is triumphant.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Looeamong said: My brothers, it is not my place to point out the mistakes of others.<br \/>\nBut ye twain have built great heavenly capitals and palaces. Your kingdoms are<br \/>\nembellished, as these heavens never were before, with magnificent cities.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Now, whilst ye were thus building, behold, I went with my legions down to the earth to<br \/>\nwar. I have not only overthrown many of the false Gods and Lords, but driven the<br \/>\nworshipers of Jehovih to death.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Therefore, I have done little to beautify my heavenly kingdoms; but I rest above fear<br \/>\nand apprehension. Nevertheless, whatsoever ye would, that I can do, to assist you out of<br \/>\nyour dilemmas, that will I do.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Now, after many suggestions and proposals, which were not accepted, Ennochissa<br \/>\nsaid: As God, Jehovih&#8217;s Son, hath taken an earthly course to insure his success, why shall<br \/>\nnot we also?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Behold, let us seek out a number of mortals also, and through them, establish our<br \/>\ndoctrines with mortals.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Looeamong said: A most wise suggestion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Kabalactes said: This have I seen, since a long time, would be necessary to<br \/>\naccomplish.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Thereupon a coalition was entered into by the three Triunes to give to mortals fortynine Saviors, in order to establish the Trinity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Which labor should be accomplished within two hundred years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. And it was also stipulated, that the whole forty-nine Saviors should be put to death<br \/>\nignominiously in order to win mortal sympathy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. To accomplish which, the Holy Confederacy provided, that each kingdom should<br \/>\nsupply one million angels for the army of inspiration, and that the same doctrine should<br \/>\nbe enunciated through every Savior, raised up for the work. And, accordingly, the three<br \/>\nmillion inspiring angels were selected, all being above grade eighty, and these, being in<br \/>\nthree armies, were provided with one general officer to each army, called captain of the<br \/>\nhosts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. For Looeamong&#8217;s hosts, Thoth was made captain.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. For Kabalactes&#8217;hosts, Yima was made captain.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. For Ennochissa&#8217;s hosts, Satree was made captain.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Accordingly, these three, Thoth, Yima and Satree, with their three millions, were sent<br \/>\ndown to the earth, to cover it around about in their own way, to raise up amongst mortals<br \/>\nthe required Saviors.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And there were thus given to the earth, in the space of less than two hundred years,<br \/>\nforty-nine Saviors, to wit:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Rita, Gibbor, Gaal, Efrokin, Gargra, Thules, of the house of Thules, Etrus, Gadamon<br \/>\nand Shofal; and all of these were of Egupt, and performed miracles, such as healing the<br \/>\nsick, giving sight to the blind, and hearing to the deaf, and raising spirits of the dead to<br \/>\nlife; and they preached the doctrine of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And the angels<br \/>\ninspired their enemies to put them to death, that their doctrines might be sealed in blood.<br \/>\nAnd this was done.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Of the land of Parsi&#8217;e, the following men: Adakus, Mithra, Bali, Malopesus, Gonsalk,<br \/>\nHebron, Belus, of the house of Belus, Megath, Yodoman and Beels. And these preached<br \/>\nthe same doctrines, and were also put to death in order to seal their words in blood. Some<br \/>\nof them were boiled in oil; some given to the lions in the dens, and some nailed on the<br \/>\nugsa, and left to perish.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Of Vind&#8217;yu, the following: Indra, Yuth, Sakai, Withoban, Aria, Devatat, Chrisna,<br \/>\nLaracqu, Hagre, Anathia, Jannassa and Janeirus. And these performed the same kind of<br \/>\nmiracles, and preached the same doctrines, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. And they<br \/>\nlikewise suffered ignominious deaths, through the inspiration of the angel hosts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Of Chine&#8217;ya, the following: Sam Sin, Ah Wah, Ah Chong, K&#8217;aou&#8217;foor, King Shu,<br \/>\nShaou and Chung Le. And these performed miracles, and preached the same doctrines.<br \/>\nAnd they were also put to death ignominiously, being killed on the fetes, in order to seal<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">their doctrines in blood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Of Heleste and Uropa, the following: Datur, Promethus, Quirnus, Iyo, Osseo and<br \/>\nYohannas. And these taught the same doctrines, performing miracles also. And they were<br \/>\nkilled on the fete in like manner, that their teachings might be sealed in blood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Of Guatama, the following: Manito, Quexalcote, Itura, Tobak and Sotehoo. And these<br \/>\nperformed miracles, taught the same (Triune) doctrines, and were all put to death<br \/>\nignominiously, that their doctrines might be sealed in blood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. By the same army of angels that inspired these priests and magicians to miracles and<br \/>\nthe preaching of the Triune doctrines, were they also betrayed, suffering death by enemies<br \/>\nwho were inspired by the same angel hosts to that end.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Now so far as the Triune doctrines affected mortals, it related chiefly to war. The<br \/>\nconfederate Gods had said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. War for righteousness sake is just. We go to the earth to put swords and spears in the<br \/>\nhands of the innocent and upright, saying to them: Defend yourselves! Establish<br \/>\nyourselves! There is no Ever Present Person. All things were created out of the Holy<br \/>\nGhost. Depend upon yourselves. Rise up and be men, mighty to do the will of the Son,<br \/>\nthe Father and the Holy Ghost!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 39<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When God, Son of Jehovih, saw the work of the Triunes, he bewailed the ways of<br \/>\nheaven.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Jehovih said to him: Bewail not, My Son, nor grieve for what they have done. But<br \/>\nmake thou a record of their works; for mortals will preserve a history of this period,<br \/>\nwhich shall be called, the Era of Saviors. And it shall stand as the darkest era in the cycle<br \/>\nof Bon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. But it shall come to pass on the earth, that the Triunes will cut themselves off in a way<br \/>\nthey see not. For mortals will worship the Saviors. Whereupon the Triunes will become<br \/>\ndivided in their heavenly kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. So God bewailed no more, but prepared a new army of a thousand million angels, to go<br \/>\ndown to the earth, to provide for receiving the spirits of such as were sure to be slain in<br \/>\nwars near at hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Of these hosts, Eyodemus was given command, and he appointed the following<br \/>\nofficers (to each hundred million), to go with him to wit:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Sogothwich, Yutempasa, Loo Wan, Thagaik, Maratha, Wein, Shuberth, Le Shong,<br \/>\nTaivi and Duraya.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Nor did they reach the earth any too soon, for war soon circled the whole earth around,<br \/>\nand every nation and tribe and people were immured in bloody carnage.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. This period was practically the end of the good works of the Triune, but equally so the<br \/>\nbeginning of their mighty kingdoms in heaven, which were destined, ere long, to<br \/>\novershadow the whole earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. The war, they set on foot on earth, extended into their own kingdoms. And these three<br \/>\nGods, the Triunes, saw, that only by might and desperate vigor, could they preserve their<br \/>\nheavens from anarchy.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Five of the sub-Gods of Kabalactes, of Vind&#8217;yu, revolted within his own kingdom,<br \/>\nand set up places of their own. And they falsely assumed the names of the Saviors, who<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">had been put to death, in order to establish the Trinity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Kabalactes summoned his remaining chief officers to Haractu, his heavenly city,<br \/>\nbefore his throne. And when they were before him, he said unto them:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. This is the emergency of the Gods. My voice and my strong arm are raised up.<br \/>\nMiscreants, whom I elevated to official positions in heaven, have betrayed their<br \/>\ntrust. With their legions they have seceded, and set up kingdoms of their own.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. I have called you before me, that ye may jointly hear my decree, and obey. I will<br \/>\nhave order and harmony in my heaven. Neither shall there be but one God in my<br \/>\ndominions, even myself. It is my will, therefore, that ye pursue these rebellious<br \/>\ncaptains down to the earth, to their heavenly kingdoms, and despoil them utterly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And if need be, ye shall capture them and their chief leaders, and cast them into hell.<br \/>\nFor they shall understand that I am not a God of peace, like the Jehovihian Gods, but a<br \/>\nGod of war.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. For this purpose, I appoint Yima as my Holy Embassador and Earth Warrior. And I<br \/>\ngive to him two thousand million warriors, that he may make quick work of my rebellious<br \/>\nchiefs.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. My marshal shall select, therefore, for thee, Yima, the two thousand million<br \/>\nangel warriors; and thou shalt appoint thine own generals and captains, and go at once<br \/>\ndown to the earth regions of these miscreants, and carry out my commandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Yima and his hosts did as commanded, but not suddenly; for an angel war ensued<br \/>\nwhich lasted forty-six years, before the five rebellious Gods were beaten from their<br \/>\nstrongholds. And, even then, they were not captured and cast into hell; but they escaped,<br \/>\ntaking half a million angel warriors with them, and they migrated to Uropa, to the city of<br \/>\nRoma, where they established themselves in security. Thus the deposed Vind&#8217;yu Gods<br \/>\nbecame Gods of Roma.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Immediately after Yima succeeded in clearing Vind&#8217;yu, Kabalactes summoned him<br \/>\nagain to Heractu, his heavenly seat, before his Holy Council. When he had thus come,<br \/>\nKabalactes spoke from the throne, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Because my wisdom hath triumphed in heaven and earth, I now take unto myself a<br \/>\nnew name, BUDHA. And from this day and hour I shall be called by no other name<br \/>\nforever. And my heavenly place, my city and my heavens, shall be known henceforth,<br \/>\nforever, as Haractu, the Budhist heavenly kingdom, the All Highest Heaven of Heavens!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Thou, Yima, shalt repair again to the earth with thy two thousand million warring<br \/>\nangels, and establish me, as the Budha. By fire and by sword, by blood and death shalt<br \/>\nthou establish my name on the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And thou shalt find a way to teach mortals, that I was Sakaya, and Sakaya was and is<br \/>\nthe Budha, Son of the Triune, Son of the Holy Ghost.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. Jehovih had said: Behold the time will come unto both Gods and men who deny My<br \/>\nAll Person, when they will espouse even falsehood for sake of their own selfish ends.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And Kabalactes shall falsely assume, that he was Sakaya, and that Sakaya was and is<br \/>\nBudha.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Jehovih spake to God, saying: Behold, he commandeth himself to be called Budha.<br \/>\nNow I say unto thee, suffer this also to be, neither accuse thou him before heaven or earth<br \/>\nof his falsehood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Nay, but thou shalt also henceforth call him Budha, signifying A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NOWLEDGE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">for it is his choice.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. So it came to pass from this time after, Kabalactes was called Budha in heaven.<br \/>\nAnd his angel hosts under Yima, who descended to the earth, inspired mortals, both<br \/>\nthrough the oracles and by direct contact, to call Sakaya, Budha, and Budha, Sakaya.<br \/>\nAnd these things were so. And in not many generations, mortals forgot that they were<br \/>\ntwo persons; but they accredited all things to Budha of the spirit, and all things of the<br \/>\nflesh to Sakaya, although the whole matter was false in fact.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Wherein, it came to pass, that the followers of Budha professed peace, but practiced<br \/>\nwar and conquest, setting out by bood and carnage and destruction to establish Budhism<br \/>\nin Vind&#8217;yu.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Jehovih said to God: Even this shalt thou suffer them to do. For herein will they lay<br \/>\nthe foundation of the final overthrow of this false God, Budha. For they will put aside the<br \/>\nTrinity of their own accord, retaining Budha and the Holy Ghost. Yea, they will<br \/>\nultimately teach, that Budha is itself but a principle, and that the Holy Ghost is but as<br \/>\nnothing. They will say: War for Budha, and thou shalt attain Budha, which shall be<br \/>\nfollowed by Nirvana, which they will also call nothing. And these things came to pass.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Third Quarter Moon God&#8217;s Book of Eskra Chapter 37, Chapter 38, Chapter 39 Chapter 37 1.
