Extended data

The Five Palace Classics is a book devoted to catastrophes, which has been regarded by heretics and tantric sects as an important basis for them to publicize their thoughts of robbing catastrophes since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This book was written in the Qing Dynasty. On August 15th, the first emperor Kangxi dreamed that a monk named Qu Sida was wandering in the world of concubines and gave him a Buddhist scripture. Kangxi read this passage and realized that he would pass the throne to Yongzheng. He took Wang Shiqing, the first minister, to Tiantai Mountain for practice. I'm here to save the last robbery

The prophecy of Wei Zisheng is its key point, and this scripture hints at the name of the saint many times. The prophetic poems recited by the five Bodhisattvas are mixed together, which look different, but the content is similar. These different statements can just confirm each other and perfect the meaning of prophecy.

This passage points out that there will be a terrible era in the future, called the last robbery. There are swords and soldiers everywhere, and ants and bones are everywhere. The purpose of this lesson is to increase the confidence of ordinary people, let them get through this last robbery safely, and point out the way: always do good things and do bad things. I will save my life and wait for the world to clarify that the world is at peace.

This prediction made people full of hope when they suffered disasters and robberies, because God had made arrangements for the end of the last robbery in troubled times, so there was no need to feel ignorant and afraid of the future. Dawn is just ahead. With the emergence of saints, the disaster of swords and shadows will be over, and the happy years of eternal peace will surely come.

So this prophecy is valued by many ordinary people and treasured at home to help the whole family survive the last robbery in the future.
