Thou hast written regarding Buddha and Confucius. Buddha was
an illustrious personage. Confucius became the cause of civilization,
advancement and prosperity for the people of China… Buddha and Confucius were
kings in bygone ages who have disappeared. Their sovereignty in this world is
ended and their cycle is completed. Now the Throne of the Kingdom of Abha is
established and the Blessed Perfection is sitting upon the Throne of Grandeur.
We must raise this Call, promulgate the Word of God and live in accord with the
teachings and advices of the Beauty of Abha.
