Spiritual Practice - I. LAMA

you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their brothers, who would also be killed even as they were, should complete their course.

I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. They told the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"

I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, … And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and to conquer – Buddhism. Victorious (winner in Truth, jina, arihant) is the widely recognized highest title of the Buddha. The real victorious is not the Great Martyr George, but the Conqueror in Truth Gautama (Buddha Shakyamuni). Bow in the context of Buddhism means altruism. Also, a bow can mean piercing, insight. Horse means rapid spread, development. The presence of a rider means that the spread and development is subject to the will of man. White color means holiness, true faith. It was the philosophy of Buddhism that made it possible to find the true decoding of the Revelation.

When he opened the second seal, … Another came forth, a red horse. To him who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword – ancient mythology, the cult of military glory. In one version of the translation, the color of the horse is not red, but fiery. The appearance of such a delusion among a part of the population that getting bread with a sword is the same worthy work, for example, like agriculture, or like cattle breeding, or like weaving, or like blacksmithing.

When he opened the third seal, … And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, "A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't damage the oil and the wine! – The market economy, commodity production, the cult of wealth, the cult of money, black greed. Black color means the karma of hell. A product produced for sale, unlike a natural one, is of poor quality, made without a soul, unhealthy, damaged. "Oil and wine do not hurt." Oil and wine are products that are used for worship. In those times when all products will be saturated with filth, nevertheless, a person will try to keep his personal relationship to God pure. The appearance of such a delusion among a part of the population that earning bread by trade (speculation) is the same decent work as any other occupation.

When he opened the fourth seal, … And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him. – The Abrahamic religions. A pale color indicates a low-level religion, an incorrect faith. That monotheism is superior to polytheism is an erroneous, false statement. It's a delusion. The sound idea that it is best to worship only the highest god should not lead to a denial of the existence of other gods. Moreover, in practice, everything still returned to the original mistakes: the pantheon of deities was replaced by the pantheon of saints, and as a result, believers again began to worship not the most important god, but one of their favorite saints or any specific prophet.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" – Holy Great Martyrs of early Christianity and other religions. The Holy Great Martyrs wish death to those who live on earth, since in itself the birth in the world of people leads to communion with the crimes of mankind, the crimes of the past, present and future.

I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake – the eruption of Vesuvius and other earthquakes. The punishment of the crusaders, as well as Muslims, who allowed themselves to organize religious wars, kill and torture people in the name of faith, in the name of God, lead to faith by threatening death or under torture. The one who kills "for the faith", "for the true faith", "for the right faith", "for the righteous faith", "in the name of faith", "in the name of God", "in the name of Allah", "for the Orthodox faith" – they commit great blasphemy and there is no forgiveness for them.

Such scripture as the Old Testament is seventy-five percent filled with descriptions of how certain
