3. The Holy Mother Buddha

Since the universe was divided into two contrasting states, the dynamic and the static, the process of creation began and continued endlessly along the river of time.

•  "Lưỡng nghi" (Dual Principles) separates into "Tứ Tượng" (Four Symbols),

•  "Tứ Tượng" (Four Symbols) transform into "Bát Quái" (Eight Trigrams), and

•  "Bát Quái" (Eight Trigrams) evolve infinitely to create the "Càn Khôn Thế Giới" (Boundless World).

these are the subsequent stages of transformation of the original source of life from within the primordial energy of Nothingness.

The ongoing complexity of these transformations increasingly defines clear boundaries between material forms and empty space, giving rise to the spatial concept of "The pure energy rises as Heaven, the impure energy descends as Earth, ceasing to congeal as Matter."

All phenomena of creation, meaning the metamorphosis of the original source of life, originate from the principle of Dual Principles ("Lưỡng nghi") interacting with each other to bring about creation.

The miraculous clarity of the energy of Nothingness, self-aware and in motion, is called the Divine Light of the Supreme Being, shining upon the "Âm quang" (primordial chaotic energy) and transforming it into tangible substance.

Thus, "Lưỡng nghi" (Dual Principles) is the first principle of creation in the universe, it is the Mother of Creation, the source of all Principles.

All principles, laws, and operations of the universe, in every large and small phenomenon, belong to "Pháp" (Principles or Dharma), and the Mother Buddha is the "Pháp" (Principle), the transformation of the Supreme Being.

Life in the Boundless World is an integral entity, seen from the aspect of the inherent origin called the Supreme Being, and seen from the operational principle, it is called the Mother Buddha.

Therefore, it is also said that:

• The Supreme Being is Buddha (Phật),
• The Mother Buddha is the Principle (Pháp), and
• The Boundless World is the Sangha (Tăng)."
