##True Buddha Heart Sect Deputy Supreme Master　Ancient Primordial Lord Ma Xiangong
September 2017
The tenth volume of the Dàodào Series, the Heavenly Book, titled 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ,' elucidates the fundamental functions of both Buddhist and Daoist practices. In the human world, it combines the 'New Theory of Consciousness-Only' with human existence, offering all religious enhancements and growth, and through practical actions in daily life, it achieves a favorable transcendence.
The table of contents for the tenth volume of the Dàodào Series, the Heavenly Book titled 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ,' is as follows. Human beings first go through the conditions of: Xīnfǎ Principles, Spirit Communication Intent, Spirit Communication Xīnfǎ, Essential Meanings of Xīnfǎ, Categories of Xīnfǎ, Categories of Xīnfǎ (II), Spirit Communication Prediction, Karmic Divination, Radio Wave Mind Power, Magnetic Attraction and Repulsion, in the process of evolution.
Next, humans experience inner sensitivity and spiritual communication through: Língjī Xīnfǎ, Walking on Spirit Mountains, Spirit Mountain Practices, Língjī Training, Contact with Spirit Power, Spirit Power, Heavenly Eye Power, Heavenly Eye Power (II), Heavenly Ear Power, Heavenly Ear Power (II), Mind Reading Power, Mind Reading Power (II), Past Life Power, Past Life Power (II).
As humans advance in their cultivation, they will possess abilities such as: Divine Foot Power, Divine Foot Power (II), Leakage Exhaustion Power, Leakage Exhaustion Power (II), Special Functions, Sole Supremacy, Consciousness Function, Divergent Paths, Self-Righteousness, and Difficult to Correct Errors. These karmic conditions manifest in the pursuit of: Embodied Realization, Dàodào Xīnfǎ.
To understand through spirit communication, one must align with the frequency of the Xiān and the Buddha, thereby receiving clear information. Spirit communicators, spirit mediums, upright spirit-writing practitioners, and celestial pen practitioners, who are spokespersons for the Xiān and the Buddha, must rely on the holy guidance of the Xiān and the Buddha to play a significant role in saving the world. However, in actual survival, this is not always the case.
The Xiān and the Buddha have their own ways of survival and perspectives, and humans have their own ways of survival and perspectives. It is very difficult to integrate these into practical life, and the human world cannot depart from the 'Heaven and Earth Causality Law.' If a spirit communicator is a 'messenger and spokesperson of the gods and the Buddha,' what can they do without possessing the same virtues as the Xiān and the Buddha?
Xīnfǎ is applied in this world between heaven and earth. Whether it is human beings, spirit mediums, spirit communicators, or spokespersons for the Xiān and the Buddha, it is difficult for any of them to fully understand the future process. The question is whether the process can be understood in the present, and how to deal with events that will occur in the future and undetermined variables.
The laws of heaven and earth can be transformed and transferred through human factors. Moreover, the fixed numbers of the future can be truly manifested and transformed in the present through human thought and action, leading to different results in one's direction of survival or the realization and practice of the future. Changing the invasion of calamities is also a result of these human factors.
If it is difficult to differentiate from the 'Heavenly Law Fixed Numbers,' then for sentient beings, it is merely a 'spiritual communication' function. It is also necessary to understand that the citation of 'Xīnfǎ' is a rule applicable to the human world. Xīnfǎ must be something that all sentient beings can truly apply to their process of survival orientation.
In the human world, it is not possible to provide warnings and notifications about the future through a single method. Humans can discuss and agree with the Xiān and the Buddha in the present, but they may also repent after the situation changes. Sometimes, they create verbal karma, leading to the retribution of 'karmic obstacles.' Each person must face and deal with the 'karma' they bear.
From the perspective of immortals and Buddhas, the original nature is compassion, joy, and renunciation, and it is the 'virtue and wisdom' that should function. When bound by interests and benefits, it becomes difficult to fulfill and respond to the deeds and promises that should be made to immortals and Buddhas. Each person evaluates based on their own interests, explaining their ignorance and helplessness, and providing themselves with a way out. This is a common ailment of humanity.
The nature of sentient beings is difficult to fathom, yet it is possible to provide opportunities for change while setting fixed laws for their nature. This is because, in the era of immortals and Buddhas of old, all sentient beings were already enlightened and guided to return. Why, then, is it necessary to establish numerous Daoist temples in the present age to guide sentient beings back? This is the compassion and helplessness of the immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas!
The essential points of the heart method: Through mediums and divine messengers, it is fully manifested and foretold. This allows some to transform misfortune into fortune, while others hold expectations and hopes for the future. Without such expectations, one would not know what the 'goal of life' is. This is because humans must have goals, purposes, and actions.
The essential points of the spirit communication heart method: It serves as a bridge for communication between immortals, Buddhas, and spirit communicators. If spirit communicators, mediums, righteous spirit mediums, and celestial scribes possess proper thoughts and reasoning, live honestly, uphold public heart and virtue, and are free from selfishness and bias, they can be considered upright individuals in human society and have the potential to achieve the fruit of immortals and Buddhas.
One's actions are not due to the immortals and Buddhas being powerless, insensitive, or unmanifested, but rather because human behavior distorts the original intention of the compassion and virtue of the immortals and Buddhas, and even tramples upon it. This undoubtedly makes it difficult to achieve the purpose of salvation and transformation for both sentient beings and the divine immortals and Buddhas.

The Great Way Mind Method: Editor's Note
Strive with diligence and bravery, neither slacken nor neglect, and do not betray My will.
##Ancient Emperor's Attendant　Bodhisattva of the Nine Heavens and Dark Lady
September 2017
Observing the spiritual abilities such as the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Other Mind, Past Life, Divine Foot, and Leakage, these are precisely the special functions that ordinary sentient beings aspire to. Especially in the present age, this tendency is even stronger. In modern society, it is very common, particularly in the precious island of Taiwan, where the trend is more pronounced. Therefore, spirit mediums and spirit channels are widespread, showcasing these abilities.
The spiritual abilities of spirit mediums and spirit channels often lead to the creation of karma. I ask you all, do you desire this? The manifestation of special functions is varied and diverse, with many processes of manifestation. While special functions dominate the display of spiritual abilities, these processes are often limited by certain 'deceptive illusions.'
When one personally observes something, they and others may believe it to be true, and further believe and pursue all the processes of manifestation. Moreover, such spiritual abilities are what human beings and sentient beings aspire to. When it comes to special functions and spiritual powers, there are many levels to these spiritual powers.
There is often a 'phantom effect,' and what is seen is not entirely accurate, as there is a false appearance and illusion. One may mistakenly believe that everything they see is real, and this is manifested through their own spiritual abilities, leading to the 'function of the consciousness deity' that completes the delusion in the present moment.
Those who are clairvoyant, proper mediums, and proper spirit writers all exist in this process. Moreover, if one possesses the abilities of the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, mind-reading, and past-life recall, they can observe things clearly, but the distinctions are based on the levels of existence, ranging only from the first to the fifth dimension. It is extremely difficult to understand the phenomena in the sixth to tenth dimensions.
Regarding different levels and different spaces, the spiritual powers and abilities one possesses are observed through special functions, but often a false appearance exists. This is especially true for spirit writers, mediums, clairvoyants, and those who walk the spiritual mountains. Observations are not always entirely accurate due to the levels of existence.
In the human world, there is no way to distinguish between reality and illusion, making it difficult to clearly understand the mindset of those with spiritual abilities. They may believe themselves to be highly advanced, and even claim to be the reincarnation of a holy Buddha, or to possess a higher attainment than a holy Buddha. This is the 'function of the consciousness deity' and 'proclaiming one’s own rank.'
There is a tendency to inflate oneself and belittle the educational functions of other immortals and Buddhas. Without understanding one’s own abilities, many obstacles and limitations arise. Furthermore, the products of such包装 (packaging) lead sentient beings to pursue blindly, without knowing whether these individuals are seeking a ladder to return to the Great Way for the benefit of all beings or whether they will cause the beings to fall into decline.
Those who possess special functions and abilities, while they have these abilities, true virtuous individuals will never easily manifest in the human world. They operate in secret, just as immortals and Buddhas help sentient beings without making it clear who is assisting them. Through the virtues and actions of immortals and Buddhas, sentient beings are saved and transformed.
Those who possess spiritual powers, instead of fearing their powers, fear not that the world will know of them, and have already packaged and promoted them. This is a common method used by sentient beings today, and the one-sided pursuit of spiritual phenomena is a source of sorrow for sentient beings. The question is whether the manifestation of special functions can serve as a guide and lead to improvement, or whether it merely causes one to create negative karma.
Misconceptions are difficult to correct, and once one enters the position they have set for themselves, it becomes difficult to change. Moreover, if one’s actions are based on erroneous concepts, it is inevitable that they will inflate themselves and undermine the educational functions of other religions. It is necessary to clearly understand the evolutionary process of all things, which allows one to resonate with divine spirits and manifest their spiritual abilities.
Only from a 'human-centered mindset' can one understand and penetrate the truth, preventing oneself from being bound by obstacles through the process of spiritual abilities and clairvoyance. Thus, one can comprehensively clarify and analyze the 'Great Way's evolution,' establishing compassion, universal love, and equality in the survival process of sentient beings.
In the concept of the 'Yogācāra' (Sole Consciousness) ideology, one can construct their 'mind nature and heavenly nature' and resonate with the wisdom of immortals, Buddhas, and holy deities. By understanding the heart-mind principles and how thoughts function, one can elevate their own spirit and essence, and through the process of cultivation, they can realize the overall evolution of the 'Great Way.'
The interpretation of sentient beings should be more creative in promoting the welfare of existence, and welfare should transform all erroneous concepts, thus making it correct. By experiencing and understanding the inner essence of the process of interpreting heaven and earth, one can personally clarify and verify, thereby eliminating all mutual deceit and fraud among religions, and certainly realizing the fairness of all interpretations.
The interpretation of the Great Way is to benefit sentient beings through the practice of mind dharma. The manifestation of all 'welfare and virtues' is to elevate the spirit and reveal the significance of life. That is, the process of interpreting the Great Way involves the increase of all virtuous qualities in humanity, leading to the entry into the Lotus Buddha Kingdom Pure Land world in the 21st century, which is the true nature.

##Imperial Envoy Minister Ancient Deity of the Southern Pole
December 5, 2000 - The Tenth Day of the Eleventh Lunar Month (Tuesday)
The Infinite Imperial Edict is issued before the throne, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Lady descends to reveal it in the hall.
The tenth volume of the Great Way Series elucidates the essential clarity of the mind dharma.
With reverence, the sublime decree of Wuji is delivered to the Chongxin Daochang for proclamation, whereupon all divine and human beings bow in reverence!
The Sublime Decree is read aloud.
With reverence, we receive.
The Sublime Decree of Wuji Huangmu Datianzun states:
Mother resides in the Holy Land of the Heaven of Reason, observing the fallen children of the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa and pondering how to educate and guide them, to facilitate their return to the truth. At times, she commands various celestial immortals and Buddhas to descend to the mortal realm to select the true lineage of Dharma propagation, providing a genuine means of return, to serve as a witness and experience in the human world.
Furthermore, this heart method is to be transmitted to the fallen children in the mortal world, serving as the primary support for their return. Now! By the sublime command of Mother's heart, the Chongxin Daochang, since its official establishment on the first day of the eighth month of the year Bingzi, has commenced the sacred task of writing the Heavenly Books, to enable the fallen children of the present world to understand the grace of the Supreme Heaven upon the human world.
And how to guide the mind and nature for the return? This is achieved through the cultivation and purification by each religion, elevating the human beings to a virtuous and transcendent return. Now! The sublime command to the Chongxin Daochang to transmit a series of 'Dharma Heavenly Books' to the human world truly brings comfort to this mother.
She commands the three holy Buddhas, Namo Rándēng Gǔfó, Nánhǎi Gǔfó, and Nánpíng Dàojì Gǔfó, to receive the decree and author the tenth volume of the Dharma Series, titled 'The Heart Method of the Great Way.' They are to commence writing immediately upon receiving the decree and complete the book as soon as possible, to widely apply and disseminate this heart method in the human world.
Furthermore, it is to enable the children to understand how to apply this heart method in the human world! To harmonize with heaven and earth, Wuji, the void, and the great universe, is the hope of Mother's heart. It can truly guide the fallen children in the mortal world to return early, to see Mother's face, and to comfort their yearning and tears.
Mother's heart hopes! All the divine Buddhas, teachers, and children of the Chongxin Daochang, in writing the sublime truth, are to widely guide and educate for growth, with diligence and courage, without slackness or neglect, with firm resolve to achieve, to complete the book and submit the decree for dissemination in the world, to open the 'True Buddha Heart Sect, Seal Heart Dharma Gate' for propagation and promotion, benefiting oneself and all beings.
The Empress Mother of Wuji issues the edict to
the Confucian Holy Teaching, the True Buddha Mind Sect, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Edict
On the sixth day of the eleventh month of the year Gengchen in the Heavenly Cycle, at the hour of Dog
Well! I congratulate the Chongxin Dao lineage for being able to continue the tenth volume of the 'Great Dao Series Heavenly Books', 'The Great Dao Mind Method'. This clearly shows the high regard and appreciation of the Supreme Heaven for Chongxin. Congratulations! Congratulations! I return to Wuji to submit the edict.
Preface
##True Buddha Heart Sect Supreme Master　Venerable of the Void
December 8, 2000 - The 13 Day of the Eleventh Lunar Month (Friday)
The tenth volume of the Great Dao Series: The Great Dao should be promoted by me
The Great Dao universally transforms true nature; the Great Dao Mind Method can reveal profound insights
This night! I have respectfully received the edict from Wuji. Truly, it brings comfort to Chongxin to receive volume after volume of these works bestowed by the Supreme Heaven. These works guide sentient beings to return to and transcend their own minds and natures, providing the resources for human beings to ascend and transcend, benefiting themselves while also enabling the growth and benefit of all sentient beings.
My heart is greatly pleased. I will continue to receive the Jade Edict from Haotian in the hall, and command the City God and the Bodhimanda of this lineage to receive the carriage twenty miles away. I also command the Second and Third Pass Holy Emperors of this lineage to receive the carriage five miles away. The remaining deities, Buddhas, students, and spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Academy must line up to await the carriage, without any breach of etiquette!

##Namo Amitabha Buddha
December 15, 2000 (Friday)
Writing the Heavenly Books in the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is truly at ease
The celestial realm is not comparable to the human world; the old man's issuance of the Jade Edict is truly unique
Reverently bearing, the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven descends to the hall for proclamation, deities and humans bow in reverence!
The Jade Edict is opened and read.
Reverently received.
The Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable, the Profound and High Deity, decrees:
I, residing in the supreme position of the Nine-Five, promote the Three Teachings and advocate peaceful coexistence among the Five Teachings. The heavenly mechanisms and methods of universal transformation vary, and the effort to guide sentient beings to the truth of mind and nature is exhaustive, aiming for their return to bliss. Therefore! Deities and Buddhas descend to the mortal world, spreading teachings in all directions and opening halls everywhere.
The sole purpose is to guide the original spirits of the nine and six sentient beings to return early to the Boundless Immortal Land and the Pure Land. The deities and Buddhas repeatedly descend to the mortal world to elevate and distinguish sentient beings, precisely to combine their 'mind nature and spirit nature,' thereby enabling human sentient beings to possess the ladder to heaven and the means for return.
And now: By imperial decree, the Chongxin Hall has completed the writing of the Dao Series heavenly books, totaling nine volumes. Especially the two volumes, 'Dao Mingxin' and 'Dao Jianxing,' after their completion and submission, the Chongxin Hall has seen a surge in Dao energy. Indeed! There is a great power in unity, serving as a model for sentient beings, which is commendable and praiseworthy.
Now, by the request of the three venerable Buddhas, Namo Lamps of the Ancient Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, and the Ancient Buddha of Nansheng Daoji, to write the tenth volume of the Dao Series, titled 'Dao Xinfa.' After receiving the edict, the writing shall commence immediately, with no time limit, and it is hoped that the book will be completed and submitted soon to promote the universal transformation and salvation of more sentient beings for their return.
I am particularly pleased and grant this opportunity to the sentient beings between heaven and earth, to use the method of elevating the mind for verification and confirmation. Furthermore, the 'True Buddha Heart Sect' and the 'Seal Heart Dharma Gate' are opened, enabling sentient beings to immediately feel and elevate the 'Seal Heart Method,' which is precisely the great opportunity for their own upward growth and transcendence.
Thus, it can guide sentient beings who share the same origin in the Three Teachings and the Five Teachings, without distinguishing any religious lineage. All can truly verify and imprint the mind method within themselves. Furthermore, the great Dao can be more clearly understood and experienced, which is the hope: to expect the virtuous scholar of reason and the broad salvation of all beings for their return and transcendence.

the Confucian Holy Teachings, the True Buddha Heart School, the Wují Great Dao Academy, and the Yìzhì Chóngxīn Hall, on the sixth day of the eleventh month of the Gēngchén year, at the hour of Dog
Well! We congratulate the Chóngxīn Dao lineage for being esteemed by the Vast Heaven, and for guiding the countless sentient beings in their learning and growth with true principles and truths, thus enabling their return, transcendence, and elevation. By understanding the heart methods of heaven and earth, and by promoting the Great Dao, they truly deserve commendation and celebration! Everyone has worked hard, and the Elder Immortal should quickly return to the Vast Heaven to submit the edict!

Tonight! It is precisely the auspicious moment for the Chóngxīn Dao lineage to reverently receive the tenth volume of the Great Dao series, 'The Heart Methods of the Great Dao.' Being esteemed and anticipated by the Heavens is not merely about completing the writing; it is also a test for those in charge, to see if they are capable of the great task and if they have any arrogance. The truth will be revealed in the present moment!
It is indeed joyful! The hall has been able to lower its voice and demeanor, acting with greater humility, which is the result of everyone's efforts. Having been tested and verified by the Heavens, it has passed all examinations and inspections. In the tenth volume of the Great Dao series, many heart methods will be transmitted to the human world, providing true meanings for the benefit of all sentient beings.
One must understand: how to establish solid and superior principles and truths! It is precisely about applying heart methods in the human world. Otherwise, if the truth is not clear, the heart methods will be difficult to resonate, and it will form an insurmountable obstacle for oneself! This point must be clear, and it must be truly resolved, for it is the essence of reality.
Fourth Session: The Essential Teachings of the Mind Dharma
##Namo Nendou Ancient Buddha
December 29, 2000 (Friday)
Namo the World of Ultimate Bliss, the Amitābha Sutra completes the self
The Buddha speaks in preface, descending to Chóngxīn, to widely guide sentient beings to attain on their own
Preface One
Through the comprehensive works of the Dàodào Series, a new method is employed to discard the stale methods of religious instruction of the past, thereby establishing the dominance of 'mind and consciousness' in the human world and contributing to the actualization and growth of contemporary society through the human world.
By discerning one's 'mind and consciousness' and clarifying it through one's actions, one can know the difference between sinking and transcending. This is understood through human behavior, and the human world is precisely the place where one truly grows, the dividing line between transcendence and ascent, and sinking and descent. Through this, sentient beings can gain true benefit.
The operation of the Dàodào naturally nurtures the world of sentient beings. The Dàodào is the goal and guideline that sentient beings should follow, and in the realm of transforming one's ascent and transcendence or descent and sinking, how should one elevate one's spirit? Moreover, it is truly the case that one should apply the 'mind method' to achieve oneself.
If one lives merely for the sake of living and practices merely for the sake of practice, it is difficult to achieve real results in one's elevation. One must discern the function and apply the methods of the human world. Moreover, in the application of these methods, one should understand the virtues of heaven and earth in the process of the survival of sentient beings.
How should one act in terms of one's thoughts and intentions? Can one apply the 'mind method' with true freedom and ease? This is about one's growth and avoiding becoming a slave. The method that truly guides and elevates oneself is the genuine benefit of being one's own master, and this is the true reality.

Confucian teachings have been transmitted for thousands of years; the Sage of Renewal descended to the Chongxin connection
Yan Hui, with a smile and a raised eyebrow, the Master ascends the platform to speak.
Preface Two
It is necessary to elevate the teachings of Confucianism, to understand that for nearly two thousand years, the Supreme Heaven has been realistically transforming the overall karmic connections of Confucianism. Moreover, for the sentient beings of the twenty-first century, the elevation of mind and nature is the primary cause and basis. Therefore, this applies to sentient beings regardless of their religious lineage.
It is necessary to break down the barriers between religions and to integrate them, thereby not only transforming the sentient beings but also realistically eliminating the divisions and gaps between religions. This ensures that one is not bound by religion and can realistically expound the Great Way through the heart methods of religion, elevating the resources of sentient beings and transforming their conditions.
The 'Great Way Heart Method' breaks down all the difficult 'Yinxin Dharma Gates' between past religions, providing methods in the human world to elucidate these karmic connections. Through the Yinxin Dharma Gate, the True Buddha Heart Sect can achieve greater expression, bringing greater collective power to the integration of sentient beings.
It can prevent the disputes and intrigues, attacks and seizures between different religions, allowing the inherent nature of the mind to be truly revealed and the transmission of thoughts and consciousness to be conducted realistically. It enables the effective application of the heart methods that are achieved through thoughts, dispelling the past misunderstandings of religious heart methods, and ensuring a clear understanding of their inner meanings.
It allows sentient beings to realistically apply the 'Great Way Heart Method' and to avoid becoming engrossed in the veil of heart methods again. In the transmission of thoughts and intentions, it enables more rational and practical application, making the phrase 'arising from a single thought, there is a realistic elevation of the Dharma' truly practical.

The Deputy Venerable of the Great Dao of Wuji, the Venerable Taizhu Jiu Ku, whose virtue is widely present.
The Heavenly Venerable teaches the original spirits, and the Heart Dharma of the Great Dao is presented in an orderly manner.
Preface Three
The process of enlightenment through the teachings of the Confucian lineage is precisely the manifestation of the Heavenly Mandate in the Yizhu Chongxin Hall, serving as a genuine source of nourishment for the world. Moreover, for all sentient beings to understand, it is necessary to employ human methods in the world to educate oneself and achieve the enlightenment of sentient beings, thereby guiding the Heart Dharma of the Heavenly Mandate to lead sentient beings to return and transcend.
In all methods of mind and nature, the 'mind consciousness' is indispensable. It guides one's growth and further removes the veil of mystery of the past, truly unfolding the 'Mind Consciousness Method,' 'Mind Nature Method,' and 'Seal Heart Method' in the human world.
Therefore, the Heavenly Mandate has truly established the True Buddha Heart School - the Seal Heart Method, which has a genuine significance, aimed at elevating the faith of human beings. Moreover, the Great Dao is a natural heart dharma, which can be truly applied in the present, and the heart dharma from the past five thousand years will also be truly manifested in the modern era.
All 'Mind Nature Methods,' 'Mind Consciousness Methods,' and 'Seal Heart Methods' can be truly applied in the human world without deviating from the process of nourishing life. One must understand how to apply these methods to oneself, thereby ensuring smooth and unobstructed progress.
This is the essence of having a foundation. Otherwise, how can sentient beings, in their mind consciousness, apply the virtues of the Heavenly Mandate to their growth and transcendence in the world beyond human survival? It is hoped that the spirit cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy will also understand the virtues of the Heavenly Mandate.
All can grow and transcend, and further embody 'Following Heaven's Way and Proclaiming Heaven's Teachings,' thereby possessing the richness of causal conditions. The virtues of heaven and earth are manifested, and the achievement of sentient beings is due to one's own current efforts, leading to a genuine ascent towards future return and transcendence.

##Void Color Spirit Immortal Lady
January 12, 2001 (Friday)
Namo Wushang Cheng Tathāgata, the Lamp-Lighting Mind Dharma opens the mundane world
The veneration of the heart by the ancient Buddha arises from causes and conditions, the principles of the Great Dao Mind Dharma are arranged
All beings in the mundane world, when desiring to connect with the Supreme Heaven, must take their 'mind and body' as the foundation to facilitate this. The most crucial factor is to lead with one's thoughts and consciousness. Moreover, in the process of orienting oneself towards survival, one can integrate one's survival and spiritual growth.
In constructing one's own mind and nature as an orientation, the principle is to achieve this through one's actions and movements of the body, combined with the accumulation of past experiences. This is how one can truly understand the movements of the mind dharma, and it allows the virtues of the Supreme Heaven to transform the human world. One must also clearly recognize the results of the accumulation of past experiences to be correct.
Otherwise, in the human world, if it is difficult to apply humanistic thought, then regardless of any holy beings, immortals, buddhas, or bodhisattvas, it will be difficult to truly transform the Great Dao for all beings. The Great Dao is at this critical juncture, and if the foundation of human survival is not solid, what will happen?
Desiring to directly enter the mind dharma, one is also more likely to become lost in the realm of supernatural powers, which is a very cruel matter for sentient beings. Lacking virtue, blessings, wisdom, and experience, one cannot establish the basic principles of human survival, and it is also very difficult to truly integrate oneself into the orientation of survival in human life.
It is precisely by integrating one's own spiritual abilities that one must first lay a solid foundation. Otherwise, in the face of the 'difficulty of supernatural powers overcoming karma,' sentient beings must first establish the true 'paramarthika,' the reality of the highest truth. Only then can one more effectively apply the truth to any realm of supernatural powers, thereby fulfilling that realm.
One can then truly transform oneself and sentient beings, and even more so, by clearly understanding the principles of the mind dharma, one can gain a comprehensive understanding of the virtues of the Supreme Heaven, the virtues of immortals and buddhas, the virtues of heaven and earth, and the virtues of humanity. This is the correct approach, which benefits oneself and others, and leads to virtuous growth.
The Mind Dharma: It is the essence employed by all those who are spiritually attuned. Without a foundation in true principles, it is difficult to establish a solid base, and the actions of Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas often become mere acts of salvation. Moreover, due to the inability to deeply understand their compassionate heart, broad love, wisdom, equality, and public virtue, what can be done?
On the contrary, it isolates oneself from the Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, and fundamentally lacks the dignity of these enlightened beings. Therefore, it is difficult to truly complete one's own spiritual resources and to truly meet the requirements for one's own elevation. Thus, many sects find it difficult to reach this realm. What is the cause of this?
Regarding the requirements of the Mind Dharma, some believe they can be compared to the Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, and others believe they have already surpassed the ranks of the Holy, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, thus belittling those who have already achieved these ranks. This is undoubtedly an inflated view of oneself, fundamentally overestimating one's own abilities, and there are too many such people.
The essence of spiritual attunement, if lacking the qualities of the Holy, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, makes it difficult to manifest compassion and to save sentient beings. Moreover, believing oneself to have already surpassed the realms of the Holy, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, and viewing sentient beings as mere straw dogs, while considering oneself a great teacher, is quite presumptuous.
One may believe that one can coexist with heaven and earth, the universe, but according to the principle of spiritual attunement in the Mind Dharma, it is necessary to act with humility, ensuring that one remains in a stage of perpetual learning and growth. Moreover, while it is true that the guidance of religious lineages and the return of sentient beings are necessary when the Heavenly Deity transforms and saves sentient beings,
However, it is also necessary to observe whether the actions of sentient beings align with the virtue bestowed by heaven and earth upon all sentient beings. Due to the equality of sentient beings and the equality of Buddha-nature, with proper training, they can all attain the five spiritual powers, which every sentient being inherently possesses.
The essence of spiritual attunement: If one cannot achieve this kind of construction, and if one's spiritual powers and divine abilities are considered a virtue, without abundant wisdom, merit, and blessings, one remains only at the level of spiritual attunement. Reaching the higher ranks of Bodhisattvas, Immortals, and Buddhas is still a great distance away.
It is necessary to understand how the Holy, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas of the Heavenly Deity are. They have already possessed such conditions, and for humans: rarity is precious! If all human sentient beings possessed the same essence and abilities as the Holy, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, what would happen? Would they no longer be so rare?
I ask the sentient beings: Can the realm of the five spiritual powers cause confusion or obstacles for sentient beings? Due to the premise that rarity is precious, it leads to blind worship and following of those who possess such spiritual powers. In reality, this is a condition that every human sentient being inherently possesses, but it is simply covered up by themselves.
The application of the Mind Dharma to sentient beings involves cultivating virtue and wisdom, experience and merit fields, and it is correct to cultivate them deeply. Moreover, the *Dàodàoxīnfǎ* (The Great Way Mind Dharma) can dispel the misconceptions of all those who are spiritually attuned in this twenty-first century, and explains why the Venerable Heart desires to write such a heavenly book.
To all those who are spiritually attuned, one can truly expound the ultimate truth and apply teachings to sentient beings, not merely relying on the realm of psychic powers to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings. Moreover, one must truly understand the profound truths of heaven and earth, not just the mundane truths.
Otherwise, one will often find oneself in a state where only the presence of immortals and Buddhas can handle the situation, making it difficult to apply teachings based on one's own abundant experience. One must be able to apply teachings without relying on immortals and Buddhas, thereby enabling oneself to fully utilize the profound principles and transform the obstacles of sentient beings in the human world. Moreover, they can be truly applied.
The essence of the Great Way is natural; the principles of the mind-dharma create the other shore.
The cause and nature of spiritual attunement are difficult to understand; the virtue of spiritual penetration subtly imbues with merit.
Karmic obstacles can rival spiritual powers; the wisdom of virtue brings benefits to the field of merit.
Sages, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas transcend the fundamental nature of sentient beings.
This verse! It is for the mutual encouragement of sentient beings, so that they can understand the vigilance and truth regarding the realm of spiritual penetration. Otherwise, to believe that one has already attained this realm is undoubtedly to deceive oneself and others. One must be cautious! Otherwise, one will inflate oneself without understanding the truth, thereby delaying oneself and others. This is a very mistaken action.
Chapter 9: Telepathic Power through Radio Waves
##Nanping Daohui Ancient Buddha
January 16, 2001 (Tuesday)
The original heart of the Great Way is naturally profound; the mind-dharma penetrates thoroughly and is infinitely good.
The divine realm of spiritual penetration depends on cultivation; the principles of truth must be clearly understood.
Today, the immortals and Buddhas, Namo Rándēng Gǔfó, have descended to expound on the 'Principles of the Great Way Mind-Dharma.' This ensures that the mind-dharma of the future has a solid foundation for practical application. Otherwise, if the foundation is not firmly established, one cannot achieve success within the mind-dharma and will likely fall into karmic obstacles, preventing oneself from ascending and transcending.
One must clearly understand the virtues of heaven and earth, the universe, emptiness, and the Infinite, treating all sentient beings equally. One should not be entranced by the realm of supernatural powers, nor should one be self-congratulatory upon the clear understanding and realization of the mind dharma, thinking that one has attained the realm of supernatural powers. This would undoubtedly deepen one's own downfall, making it difficult to extricate oneself from the whirlpools and traps.
Chapter Ten: Magnetic Attraction and Repulsion
##Void Holy Virtue Immortal Lady, Heavenly Holy Mother
January 19, 2001 (Friday)
A compassionate sky over the South Sea, where the benevolence and mercy of ancient Buddhas extend.
The Second Chapter of the Great Way Mind Dharma: The Essence of Spirit Communication Originates from Heavenly Connections.
Understanding the actions of the mind dharma by humans is to place oneself in the same realm as the holy immortals, sages, and Buddhas. When the mind reaches the realm of 'one point of spiritual connection,' one grows in this realm. Moreover, when people in the human world resonate at the same frequency as the holy immortals, sages, and Buddhas, they can mutually imprint and communicate their minds, fostering growth in their own nature.
Furthermore, the process dominated by one's 'mind, thoughts, and consciousness' is the accumulation of past experiences, leading to the realm of spiritual communication. This is a process of accumulating experiences that are difficult to comprehend, necessitating mutual communication with the immortals and Buddhas, thereby facilitating mutual resonance with the invisible world.
Spirit communication—in the present context of sentient beings, especially when myriad teachings manifest in the world today, each religious tradition has a different process of experiencing spiritual power, which promotes the realm of spiritual communication, allowing one to communicate mutually with the invisible holy immortals, sages, and Buddhas, and to understand the realm of the unknown and the unenlightened.
Necessarily, one can break through and clearly understand the realm of the unknown and the unenlightened. By promoting one's own realm of spiritual communication, the essence of spirit communication can be differentiated into higher, middle, and lower levels. Some individuals possess only their spirit communication abilities and find it difficult to engage in two-way communication with the holy immortals, sages, and Buddhas.
If one's spiritual energy waves cannot resonate with the immortals and Buddhas, it is difficult to advance to deeper levels of teaching and function. It is necessary to place oneself in a transcendent realm; remaining only in the realm of spiritual communication does not elevate one's mind, thoughts, and consciousness, making it difficult to transcend during the process of wave transmission and conveyance.
The essence is: one must first use the true principles to create opportunities for one's own survival and growth, which is the right path! Otherwise, even the most profound realm of spiritual communication often becomes an obstacle to oneself, a constraint on oneself, and is further limited by the barriers of knowledge and reason, and may even fall into the realm of delusion.
At the root, it is the transmission of one's mind, thoughts, and consciousness that becomes confused, making it difficult to counteract karmic forces with supernatural spiritual powers. Moreover, supernatural spiritual powers are dominated by one's own cultivation process, lacking entirely the compassion and virtues of the holy immortals, sages, and Buddhas, and are merely a spirit communication machine, devoid of any immortal or Buddha-like qualities.
In the human world, people often create karma and are frequently obstructed by ignorance. On the contrary, they think they possess the ability to penetrate heaven and earth. Such behavior fundamentally shows disdain for everything, leading to many improper actions. In truth, one should understand the essence of spirit communication, which is based on compassion and virtue, and this is the correct path.
The realm of spiritual powers: In this present era, there are numerous manifestations, especially within religious contexts. When the body harmonizes with the divine, if it cannot resonate with the compassion and virtue of the deities and buddhas, it instead interferes and repels the frequencies of the divine.
The human body, as a conduit, finds it difficult to fully resonate with the deities and buddhas, thus being restricted in the realm of spirit communication. Often, one's own thoughts and consciousness are imposed on divine revelations, but sometimes it is possible to discern the type of revelation at a glance from the divine edicts.
The original intent of the Dharma of the Heart: to understand the process of spirit communication, to harmonize with the deities and buddhas, and to resonate with them. This allows one to experience and verify the spiritual journey of the deities and buddhas. Moreover, in the human world, by attaining a frequency equivalent to that of the deities and buddhas, one can reach similar conditions and energies.
The essence of the Dharma of the Heart, if it cannot be applied to the ultimate truth, instead becomes confined to mundane truths. If one transcends, they are merely a common deity. However, there are different methods of teaching for the higher, middle, and lower levels, each with its own distinct realm of attainment.
Ordinary beings in the secular world merely seek peace and the prosperity and safety of their families. They do not realize that the human world is a point of divergence between ascent and descent. If they only cling to their own demands and cannot truly use adversity for growth, they will remain in the cycle of rebirth, which is a very cruel fate for sentient beings.
Both spirit communication and spiritual mediumship, if they cannot establish true principles, merely delude themselves into thinking they are engaged in 'saving the world and alleviating suffering,' and even pride themselves on the achievement and salvation of human beings, without realizing that they cannot even save themselves. In such a case, it is impossible to save sentient beings, and it becomes exceedingly difficult.
Spiritual mediums and spirit communicators in the human world, if they cannot construct the 'Great Truth of the Dao,' will merely be seeds for the next cycle of rebirth. Why do some deities and spirits in temples and shrines remain at the level of ordinary beings, enduring only a hundred years of existence and a few hundred years of merit?
This is because the deities and buddhas in the temples and shrines of the human world find it difficult to transcend and ascend, just like humans. When humans seek salvation and reform from the deities and buddhas, they inevitably become biased and cannot grasp the overall picture with a fair and objective perspective, leading to a situation where 'the public becomes the party involved.'
Furthermore, if one's actions are limited to the higher, middle, or lower levels, or if one is merely preoccupied with the errors and busyness of saving the world and liberating sentient beings, even the deities and buddhas find it difficult to transcend. This is a very helpless situation! The compassion of the Supreme Heaven lies in the authorship of the 'Essence of the Great Dao' in the 'Heavenly Books of the Great Dao Series,' specifically the second chapter on the true intent of spirit communication.
It is necessary to truly understand: Deities, Holy Spirits, and Immortal Buddhas sometimes also endure the entanglements of 'karma and karmic obstructions' just like humans and sentient beings, and this is the reason they find it difficult to return to and transcend. It is hoped that one can understand that in the realm of spiritual communication, one must truly surpass oneself, just as the Immortal Buddhas do, to achieve true nature.
The principle of the mind dharma is in transcendence; the original intention of spiritual communication is in return.
The spiritual power of communication must be clear; the mind and consciousness are the essential core.
When the original intention is inverted, it is difficult to overcome karma; the cycle of cause and effect turns again.
The heart dharma of the Great Way lies in the foundation; one must pursue return with truth and reason.
This verse! I encourage it for all sentient beings; tonight, I have descended to write the second chapter of 'The Great Way Heart Dharma.' To understand the original intention of spiritual communication, how can one achieve heart-to-heart resonance? By combining with the energy bodies of Immortal Buddhas and Holy Spirits, one can obtain good and virtuous energy, which is to say, seal-to-seal resonance, this is the path to understanding the energy and realm of Immortal Buddhas and Holy Spirits.
Chapter 11: *Spirit Medium Mind Dharma*
##Namo Fugen Bosatsu
January 30, 2001 - The Seventh Day of the First Lunar Month (Tuesday)
Empty and void in the human world, the Colorful Spirit Immortal Maiden descends into the mundane realm.
Real and true in creating fields of merit, the heart dharma resonates with boundless virtue.
Today, the Immortal Buddhas take the lead in writing. The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea descends to elucidate the original intention of spiritual communication, making it clear that humans and Immortal Buddhas sometimes form shared karma and should jointly bear the responsibilities of all temple and palace Daoist affairs. Moreover! In the realm of spiritual communication, it is very true that one must understand the difficulty of 'spiritual powers overcoming karmic forces' in terms of their invasion and retribution.
Chapter 12: *Walking on Spirit Mountain*
##Void Bright King, Virtue and Fortune Righteous God
February 2, 2001 - The Tenth Day of the First Lunar Month (Friday)
The southern screen of heaven and earth extends good karma; the Dao of impartial salvation makes people complete.
The Ancient Buddha descends upon the Chongxin Hall, transmitting the method of spiritual communication to manifest goodness.
The spiritual communicators observe: If one cannot apply the 'Ultimate Truth' as a model for teaching, it will be difficult to construct a truthful account of one's growth process. If one follows the religious method of reliance, it will be fundamentally difficult to possess the virtues and qualities of immortals and Buddhas, let alone the wisdom and compassion of immortals and Buddhas.
When the frequency between humans and immortals and Buddhas cannot be continuous, one must bear the karmic retribution of sentient beings and past grievances. However, sometimes the immortals and Buddhas must also bear the collective karmic debt. This is the predicament where the merit and fruit position of the principal immortals and Buddhas are pulled down by the supplications of human beings.
Human beings do not know their own ignorance, and why it affects the inability of the principal immortals and Buddhas to transcend. If one continues to construct using the 'Lingtong Xinfa' (Spiritual Communication Mind Method), what will happen? It is precisely this: since ancient times, all sentient beings in the world of sentient beings cannot escape the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion.
The spiritually attuned individual—during the descent of the immortals and Buddhas, can absorb the grace, wisdom, and compassion of the immortals and Buddhas. However, if one cannot match the frequency of the immortals and Buddhas, it is difficult to transcend. Moreover, all methods of spiritual communication are inseparable from the application of the original spirit of humans. Similarly, whether one can understand one's distant past karmic destiny is not certain.
Can one be clear in the present and predict the future? However, when one's thoughts and intentions arise, some are influenced by the immortals and Buddhas, which means that the frequencies are in harmony, and it is accomplished through the spiritual power of the immortals and Buddhas. If one cannot possess these qualities in the human world—virtue, wisdom, compassion, universal love, and equality—how can one be equal to the immortals and Buddhas?
It is difficult to achieve the transcendence of spiritual power; in any religious lineage, there are unequal actions. Although the levels of teaching differ, leading to differences, the Buddha-nature and self-nature are equal. Due to the many levels of discrimination formed during the cultivation process of humans, how can one transcend?
One can maximize the spiritual power of the immortals and Buddhas within one's own mind-nature. Some can even transcend the realm of the immortals and Buddhas, but it is necessary to understand the mental journey of the immortals and Buddhas in a truthful manner and to apply the resources of their educational and cultural heritage to oneself. This is the benefit of learning and applying immediately.
The human world: it is truly the world of sentient beings for transmission and teaching. If the methods of spiritual communication and spiritual reception are not conducted in a way that is in accordance with reason and reality, it will be difficult to elevate one's mental state and mind-nature. Therefore, many spiritually attuned individuals and spiritual communicators are stuck at this level.
Moreover! It is impossible to transcend forever. This effect arises from the inability to understand the process and accumulated experience of the immortals and Buddhas' teachings in a truthful manner. Furthermore, in the mind method, both spiritual communicators and the spiritually attuned cannot separate from the combination of 'mind' and 'nature.' Otherwise, one cannot realize or understand anything, and all processes will be of no use.
Moreover! Some believe that they can act to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings when the Immortals and Buddhas descend, but they lack even a trace of the qualities of the Immortals and Buddhas. Some serve as agents of the Immortals and Buddhas, performing acts to save the world and alleviate suffering, but after the Immortals and Buddhas depart, they possess not a shred of their virtues, compassion, universal love, or equality.
In the mundane world, sentient beings often equate spirit mediums and those who are spiritually attuned with the Immortals and Buddhas, and this is the reason. It is essential to understand that if spirit mediums and those who are spiritually attuned do not absorb even a trace of the essence and virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas when they depart, it is fundamentally difficult to gain trust, and it will lead to doubts about the Immortals and Buddhas.
On the precious island of Taiwan, such outdated practices exist, and it is difficult for people in the modern 21st century to accept. It is important to understand that when the Immortals and Buddhas descend, one can unearth treasures, and after they depart, one should internalize their virtues into one's own Alaya consciousness.
Furthermore, one should apply and utilize this to 'save the world and alleviate suffering.' In education and moral guidance, one should possess the fundamental path for the long term. Throughout history, spirit mediums, those who are spiritually attuned, righteous spirit mediums, righteous spirit writers, and celestial scribes, who have connections and contact with the Immortals and Buddhas, often find it difficult to understand this critical method.
Thus, the Immortals and Buddhas are the Immortals and Buddhas, and sentient beings are sentient beings. This is the sorrow of spirit mediums, those who are spiritually attuned, righteous spirit mediums, righteous spirit writers, and celestial scribes. In the practice of spiritual attunement, if one cannot absorb the virtues, compassion, wisdom, universal love, and equality of the Immortals and Buddhas, one will only exist when they descend and will have to rely on them to alleviate suffering.
After saving the world, if virtuous sentient beings come to inquire again, the spirit medium will lack the spiritual power of the Immortals and Buddhas and will be unable to obtain their own spiritual resources. Thus, they will be unable to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings in the future. Therefore, it should be clearly understood why the virtues of some spirit mediums are lofty while others are lowly, and why some use the Immortals and Buddhas to promote their own paths (thievery).
Such behavior can be clearly understood in the present moment: whether it is due to the Immortals and Buddhas not being efficacious or whether one is creating karma. In the process of the Immortals and Buddhas saving the world, they cite compassion, universal love, equality, wisdom, and virtues. However, if one cannot absorb or realize these when the Immortals and Buddhas descend, what will happen?
When deities teach the function of 'saving and transforming the world,' it often results in a temporary prosperity of twelve years in the temples and shrines, but it is difficult to sustain over a long period. One should understand how to apply the compassion and generosity of the Immortals and Buddhas in the present moment. One should unearth the treasures of the Immortals and Buddhas and use them as abundant spiritual resources.
One should apply the compassion and generosity of the Immortals and Buddhas in the present moment and use them freely in the reality of one's existence. Moreover, one should practice in accordance with reason and take actions to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings. The sacred duties of the Immortals and Buddhas are numerous, but if one cannot align with their frequency during the process of teaching and transmission, interference will occur, making it difficult to hear clearly, like a radio.
For a spirit medium who saves the world, 'virtue and wisdom, equality and universal love' are very real, and one should place oneself within these two realms. By maintaining the Middle Way and a neutral and fair stance, one will not deviate to one side, and in the future, one will not encounter evil karma or bear the burden of repaying the karmic debts of sentient beings.
This is also the shared karma to be settled between sentient beings and Immortals and Buddhas. It is precisely the scope and matters that are difficult for mediums and psychics in the present era to understand. Moreover, in the practice of psychic heart methods, one cannot depart from these two aspects of 'heart' and 'nature,' as various inspirations arise from the initial movement of the heart.
Furthermore, why can Immortals and Buddhas reveal the delusions of sentient beings with a single word in their salvific work? It depends on whether psychics possess the same frequency as Immortals and Buddhas. This is what allows for such realization. Additionally, mediums and psychics must first cultivate knowledge and use their experience as a foundation, and they must also be able to dissolve the delusions and blind spots of sentient beings.
By doing so, one can truly penetrate the matter, not merely performing salvific acts as a psychic, but ensuring that when sentient beings encounter difficulties, they do not rely on Immortals and Buddhas to solve their problems, but rather resolve their own difficulties. Therefore, it is necessary to transform through education and cultivation, to 'repent and refine' one's actions, and to bring about change.
Thus, it will perpetually exist, keeping the deities, Immortals, and Buddhas busy. Just performing salvific acts for the sake of salvation, and all human beings and sentient beings will seek out places of greater manifestation and response, pursuing relief from calamities. In this way, transformation and refinement through education and cultivation will never be achieved, and one will remain in the depths of karma, again and again.
The compassion of deities, Immortals, and Buddhas necessitates that sentient beings transform the process of ignorance and the unknown. It is essential that there be 'no second fault' for it to be true. Otherwise, due to the constant reliance on Immortals and Buddhas for deliverance, the cause of sentient beings' cyclic existence lies here. They do not know to rely on themselves to transform and alleviate suffering.
Thus, it will be very difficult to achieve ascent and transcendence, which is a rather cruel matter for true cultivators. O virtuous beings of Chongxin, the Immortals and Buddhas have already spent four years in cultivation and education. Can you realize this process? 'My difficulties must be changed by myself, my fate must be walked by myself,' only then can it conform to the principles and truth of Heaven's education and cultivation.
The psychic heart method relies on the self. All conditions stir the mundane emotions.
The essence of mediumship is to understand. Dissolve ignorance and reveal the true nature.
The heart method stirs the world of sentient beings. Human karma is alleviated through currency.
The true principle dispels delusion. Transcend difficulties and awaken sentient beings.
This verse! It is to be shared and encouraged among all virtuous beings and sentient beings, for the benefits in the future are inexhaustible.

##Namo Daichi Monju Bodhisattva
February 6, 2001 - The 14 Day of the First Lunar Month (Tuesday)
The heavens and earth have great love; the highest virtue is selfless and arranges the truth.
The holy teachings save people and benefit sentient beings; the maternal heart transforms obstacles and carries the blessings of virtue.
Today, through the work of the ancient Buddha Nán Píng Dào Jì, 'The Great Way Mind Dharma: Third Session - Spirit Communication Mind Dharma,' if those who communicate with spirits or those who are spiritually attuned cannot apply the truth practically, and can only rely on immortals and Buddhas to alleviate suffering, then it will always be difficult to ascend and transform.
One must truly understand one's own actions and behaviors, and place oneself in a state of transformation. Otherwise, 'samsara' will be inevitable, and it is essential to recognize that both human beings and immortals and Buddhas are engaged in learning and creation, which is in line with the fundamental teaching of sentient beings in the 21st century.
Chapter Fourteen: Training in Spirit Mediumship
##Void Holy Virtue Immortal Lady, Heavenly Holy Mother
February 9, 2001 - The 17 Day of the First Lunar Month (Friday)
Namo to all sentient beings who praise, Pǔxián who ferries all spirits to follow.
The Bodhisattva descends to write the Great Way chapter, elucidating the essential meanings of mind dharma and venerating clear virtue.
To understand through spirit communication, one must be in the same frequency as the immortals and Buddhas. In this case, those who communicate with spirits or are spiritually attuned, as well as mediums and spirit writers, must rely on the holy teachings of the immortals and Buddhas during the process, which can be useful in saving the world, but it is not necessarily so in actual life.
The immortals and Buddhas have their own ways and perspectives of existence, as do human beings. It is difficult to integrate these in reality, but one cannot depart from the law of cause and effect in the heavens and earth. For spirit communicators, they are 'messengers and spokespersons of the gods and Buddhas.' If they do not possess the same virtues as the immortals and Buddhas, then what?
It is certainly difficult to manifest one's own mind nature, to elevate special virtues and wisdom, and to possess the compassion and virtues of the immortals and Buddhas. This is a process that is difficult for general spirit communicators and 'messengers and spokespersons of the gods and Buddhas' to understand. In the human world, it is necessary to be able to interact with the invisible other, to act as a proxy for their true intentions and actions.
The Mind Dharma: It is precisely applied to this world, whether for the sentient beings of humanity, those who are spiritually attuned, those who can communicate with spirits, or those who speak on behalf of immortals and Buddhas, and it is indeed very difficult! To understand a future process and make broad predictions and decisions, can one know the present from that process? How should one deal with the undetermined variables that will occur in the future?
Moreover, humans cannot determine what kind of natural disasters or human misfortunes will occur in the next moment. Furthermore, humans must develop things through their thoughts. Thus, in the human world, if one cannot lead the way of action, it is difficult to understand how the future will unfold, and even more challenging to ascend.
Sometimes, the laws of heaven and earth can be transformed and redirected by human factors. Moreover! The predetermined numbers of the future can be truly manifested and transformed in the present through human thought, action, and function, altering the course of calamities and misfortunes by changing one's survival orientation and methods of realizing and practicing the future.
The result of such practices, if it is difficult to follow the predetermined numbers of heaven, is precisely this effect on sentient beings, and one must understand that the Mind Dharma is the applicable principle in the human world. The Mind Dharma can be truly applied by all sentient beings in the process of their survival orientation, and this is its veracity.
The Essential Point: To give advance notice of the future process to those who are spiritually attuned and the messengers of the divine. That is, what humans in the mundane world call 'prophets.' It is necessary to warn and inform about the future's auspicious and inauspicious events through the foreknowledge of immortals and Buddhas, but it must be clear that each being's circumstances are different.
One should not use only one method to issue warnings and notifications in advance. Otherwise! Humans can discuss and agree to the requests of immortals and Buddhas in the present, but after the situation changes, they may renege, creating verbal karma and suffering the consequences of their actions. However! The position of immortals and Buddhas is one of compassion, joy, and generosity.
Moreover, virtue and wisdom can function, but humans, bound by their interests and benefits, find it difficult to agree to what immortals and Buddhas should do or what they have promised. This is an explanation of one's own ignorance and powerlessness, and finding a way to step down is a common ailment among many sentient beings of humanity.
And! Under the compassion of immortals and Buddhas, the actions of humans are also beyond the control of immortals and Buddhas. Why? Because among these actions, there are those that have the opposite effect and deviate from the path, causing immortals and Buddhas to suffer greater losses and be troubled by bad reputations. This process must be clarified in the essential truths, and what kind of salvation immortals and Buddhas refer to must be made clear.
In this way, it becomes possible to understand the essence and details of things and integrate the Mind Dharma. However! Sentient beings desire to understand, but lack the enhancement of wisdom, being dominated by their own ignorance, and with more heart than strength, they agree too quickly without considering the past or future, and there is no thorough thinking at the beginning of their agreement.
Therefore! Seeking salvation from immortals and Buddhas results in them being defamed. And in one's own actions, why can immortals and Buddhas not warn in advance and understand? Due to the relationship of the incomprehensible and unpenetrable nature of the minds of sentient beings, the compassion of immortals and Buddhas is often abused by humans, leading to many karmic consequences.
The reason sentient beings cannot return to the Wuji Liti Heaven, the Pure Land, or the Void Heaven Realm also lies herein. If sentient beings could uphold their word as 'a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold,' and value trustworthiness and righteousness, the Immortals and Buddhas would not have to descend to the mortal world so frequently to carry out their salvific actions. Thus, the Immortals and Buddhas are often deceived by humans, and this is the reason!
The nature of sentient beings is difficult to fathom, yet there are fixed laws governing their nature that allow for the possibility of change. This is because, in the ancient era of the Immortals and Buddhas, all sentient beings had already been salvaged and returned. Why, then, must extensive monasteries be established in the present age to guide sentient beings back? This is a manifestation of the compassion and helplessness of the Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Deities, and Bodhisattvas!
The essential meaning of the Dharma of the Heart: It is realized and foretold through mediums and divine messengers. Some can transform misfortune into fortune, while others develop hope and anticipation for the future. Without such hope, one would not know the purpose of 'life's goal.' Humans must have goals, purposes, and actions to guide them.
When one encounters obstacles and difficulties in the heart, they will inevitably seek the support of wise friends and peers. Some even pray to the Immortals, Buddhas, and deities to remove their suffering, seeking a forewarning to help understand and resolve their inner darkness and mental knots.
There is an expectation and hope for the Immortals and Buddhas. This is for the sentient beings of the present age to resolve their ignorance and understand the essential meaning of the Dharma of the Heart. If mediums, spirit communicators, upright spirit mediums, upright spirit writers, and celestial pen bearers cannot understand the essential meaning of the Dharma of the Heart, they will not know how to walk the correct path.
The essential meaning of the Dharma of Spiritual Communication: It serves as a bridge for communication between the Immortals and Buddhas and the spiritual communicators. If spiritual communicators, spirit communicators, upright spirit mediums, upright spirit writers, and celestial pen bearers possess proper thought and reasoning, live honestly, and practice public-mindedness and virtue without self-interest or bias, they can become upright people in the human world and achieve the status of Immortals and Buddhas.
Otherwise! They will place the Immortals and Buddhas in an unjust situation. This is the helplessness and sorrow of the Immortals and Buddhas. When selecting a spiritual communicator as a messenger of the divine, if they lack honesty and instead have self-interest, it will be difficult for them to resonate with the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas, to receive and harmonize with their hearts. I am the Immortal and Buddha, and I am the honest public-mindedness that guides the world.
It is necessary to experience the suffering of sentient beings and understand the law of cause and effect in heaven and earth! This is the mindset and action that human mediums should have. Regardless of how high their level or how superior the Immortals and Buddhas may be, if it is difficult to harmonize with the chosen messenger, this issue will even burden the Immortals, Buddhas, and deities.
One's actions are not due to the Immortals and Buddhas being ineffective, insensitive, or unmanifest. Rather, it is because human actions distort the original meaning of the compassion and virtue of the Immortals and Buddhas, and even trample upon their compassion and virtue. This undoubtedly makes it difficult for both sentient beings and the Immortals, Buddhas, and deities to achieve the purpose of salvation and transformation!
Clarify the true meaning of the Great Way; Understand the essence of the Dharma of the Heart.
The Covenant of Spirit and Human, Upright and Communicative, mutually supports and relies on each other.
First, warnings are given to benefit the world and people; actions are taken to transform and enlighten sentient beings.
Misinterpreting the compassionate virtues of Immortals and Buddhas leads to the creation of karma and sin, which are difficult to clear.
This verse! is for the mutual encouragement of all sentient beings; in the essential teachings of the mind, it is not always that Immortals and Buddhas do not manifest, protect, or respond. This is because humans cannot integrate with them, and instead! blame the Immortals and Buddhas. Moreover, due to the law of cause and effect, Immortals and Buddhas cannot violate these laws to save sentient beings, which is also their helplessness!

##Namo Daiseishi Bodhisattva
February 16, 2001 (Friday)
Blessings and virtues are loved by all people; righteousness and deities are revered by all.
Infinite blessings and virtues are all cherished; wisdom is cultivated and planted among sentient beings.
Today, the arrival of Namo Puxian Bodhisattva to author “The Great Way Mind Dharma • Fourth Session: Essential Teachings of the Mind” is to make the teachings clear and experiential for all sentient beings. Sometimes, deities and Immortals cannot fully protect and assist due to human factors and the law of cause and effect, which leaves no room for change. If there were room for change, the Immortals and Buddhas would have already helped.
If there is no room for change, it is right to bear the consequences oneself; otherwise! relying entirely on the protection of Immortals and Buddhas, I ask: O virtuous beings, can you transform your own misfortune by completely depending on Immortals and Buddhas without making any effort yourself? It is indeed difficult! This is because the perspectives and directions of Immortals and Buddhas and sentient beings differ.
Chapter Sixteen: Supernatural Powers and Spiritual Strength
##Void Color Spirit Immortal Lady
February 20, 2001 (Tuesday)
Namo Wujiang, the spirits of all beings, welcome great wisdom and intelligence.
Manjushri Bodhisattva descends to personally attest to the various categories of the mind dharma.
When considering the essential teachings of the Mind Dharma, it is precisely by rectifying one's daily lifestyle that the transformative actions of the lower realms can be achieved. All methods employed in the human world are derived from the Mind Dharma. What is the reason for this? It is because the Mind Dharma must be applied truthfully in life without deviating from the conditions of existence, which are necessary for both survival and cultivation.
The categories of the Mind Dharma: These are the differences in types, distinguished as the realm of supernatural powers and the Mind Dharma in daily life. If these two categories are not properly utilized, it is difficult to maintain the authenticity of survival actions, and no benefit for survival is gained; it is merely the effect of the realm of supernatural powers, making transcendence exceedingly difficult.
The categories of the Mind Dharma are divided into the realm of supernatural powers and the realm of supernatural powers in daily life. The realm of supernatural powers must be achieved through the results of cultivation, thereby possessing the manifestation of supernatural powers. In daily life, it is necessary to apply the Mind Dharma to the supernatural powers of divine vision, divine hearing, mind-reading, supernatural travel, knowledge of past lives, and the power of ending all defilements.
Moreover, in the conditions for communication between mediums, it is essential not to deviate from the law of cause and effect or to employ expedient means when achieving all things. When this is done, one will certainly receive the actual affirmation of the law of cause and effect and will not create negative karmic obstacles.
Sometimes, when the deities (神明) act to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings, they may deviate from the actuality of the law of causality. In such cases, they must bear the responsibility of repaying the karmic manifestations in the future. The realm of supernatural powers in daily life refers to the survival orientation that each sentient being currently possesses. This is a supernatural power that every sentient being has; can you understand this?
Do you all feel that this is very precious and rare? No! Because everyone has such a function, it is felt that everyone is the same, and there is nothing extraordinary. The effects of human actions are behaviors and movements promoted by the realm of supernatural powers of the Mind Dharma, which are so common that they are not considered to be supernatural powers.
For example, if a person's body can consume food but cannot pass it smoothly, many inconveniences will arise in their survival, and they will suffer from gas blockages. If one can eat but the gas does not pass, it is very painful. This is because the realm of supernatural powers in daily life is possessed by every human being. Why is this so?
Human beings can eat, sleep, laugh, cry, be happy, be sad, be angry, and so on, all of which are manifestations of the realm of supernatural powers. Because everyone possesses the same ability conditions, there is nothing extraordinary about it; however, if only one or two individuals possess it, it appears to be unattainably high.
Precisely because it is possessed in daily life, it is impossible to fully manifest this type of realm of supernatural powers to sentient beings. This supernatural power is possessed in daily life and, in the ordinary realm, if I have it and you have it, there is nothing extraordinary. But if only I possess it, what would happen?
Everyone would greatly admire, envy, and praise me for possessing this type of realm of supernatural powers, which would be fully manifested in the present. The realm of supernatural powers in daily life is an indispensable condition for survival in the daily existence and all processes of human life, and it is necessary to possess the essential nature of this body.
One's own body is, indeed, a small cosmic cycle, and this is true for everyone. All necessary sustenance for survival must first pass through the mouth, then the esophagus (i.e., the throat), and after being digested by gastric juices, the nutrients are dispersed to nourish the entire body.
If all the nutrients do not pass through the human body to fulfill their complementary functions, it is difficult for humans to possess the various spiritual powers necessary for survival. Moreover, what is necessary for the body is to use its kinetic energy to observe all external forms and colors with the 'eye,' which is indeed the colorful world of sentient beings.
Using the 'ear' to hear good words, bad words, and various pleasing sounds, this is what humans refer to as the effect of music. Furthermore, through the 'nose' to smell fragrances and odors, human functions can convert these scents and all gases into sensory nerve signals within oneself.
Furthermore, using the 'tongue' in the mouth to taste food, one nourishes the body with edible items. The function of tasting involves chewing the food finely, then digesting and absorbing it through the stomach and intestines, and finally conducting it throughout the body. However, this function requires a 'body.'
The sensory nerves that one's body utilizes enter various spiritual realms through external sensations, guiding one's survival orientation. In life, how does one manifest these realms in the present? Additionally, using the kinetic energy transmitted by one's 'mind and consciousness,' one can harmonize various behaviors in the world of sentient beings.
This function is manifested through the spiritual realms of 'heavenly eye,' 'heavenly ear,' 'mind-reading,' 'past-life knowledge,' 'divine locomotion,' and 'extinction of defilements,' enabling one to predict future events. By possessing these spiritual realms, one can survive in daily life!
One can reach the spiritual realms without cultivation. All mental practices must be applied in daily life, and this is the skill each person demonstrates in the spiritual realms. Moreover, one must know how to place oneself in an ordinary state and not violate the law of cause and effect, which is the true reality. Can one understand this? Not necessarily!
Even without being a 'spiritual medium' or 'spiritually perceptive,' one can possess the spiritual realms of 'heavenly eye,' 'heavenly ear,' 'mind-reading,' 'divine locomotion,' 'past-life knowledge,' and 'extinction of defilements,' and fully manifest oneself in the present. This is the true path because everyone has these spiritual realms, and one must not deviate from the fundamental law of cause and effect. Otherwise, one has already strayed from the path.
If one deviates from the law of cause and effect, one must repay future karmic debts and face retribution from karmic obstacles. Moreover, one must understand that spiritual powers cannot overcome karmic forces, and the reason for this lies here. As a principle of survival, it should be a driving force for the upward advancement of sentient beings.
The human body is 'capable of movement, life, and use,' which is a natural spiritual power. Can one understand this principle? It is very difficult! It is not certain that modern scientific civilization can effectively utilize and modify the human body, because the grace of the Supreme Heaven extends to all sentient beings and all species in the human world of sentient beings.
The supernatural powers target the human race, precisely to discern and utilize their inherent abilities.
Eating, drinking, and entertainment are all present, and growth inevitably depends on the abundance of material things.
The wondrous functions of the body are infinite, and the five supernatural powers transform into new forms.
Only in the human realm are they difficult to attain, and despite everyone possessing them, they lack appeal.
This verse! May all sentient beings savor it carefully. The power of action in the realm of one's innate supernatural abilities is something one is born with, and there is nothing extraordinary in understanding universal truths. Therefore! The uniqueness of the mind-dharma in this process lies herein. I hope that by carefully pondering the reasons, one will surely gain insight.

The virtue of heaven bestows its blessings upon the human world, and the Holy Mother ascends the platform to offer her guidance and encouragement.
Daily life is also a form of supernatural power, and the wondrous functions of the body are the wisdom of sentient beings.
Today, through the descent of Namo Dazhi Wenshu Bodhisattva, the true intention has been recorded, elucidating the wondrous functions of the human body. For sentient beings, this body is the driving force for their growth. Without this body, can everyone survive? It is all difficult! Furthermore, this body is the dividing point between ascending and descending in the universe.
How to use it well! This is the responsibility towards one's 'body and spirit.' In the human world, if one does not cherish this body, there will be no place to pray for regret after one's death! I hope that by clearly understanding the importance of using this body well in one's lifetime, one can achieve transcendence and return, which is the true path!

##Void Brushfall Celestial Emperor
Namo Dadaozhongsheng Shu, Bodhisattva Shizhi promotes universal salvation.
The Sixth Chapter of the Great Dao Mind Dharma: Establishing the Categories of Mind Dharma
When observing the human world through the categories of mind dharma, one introduces the external factors one can influence into one's spiritual nature. Furthermore, by discerning the 'pure consciousness' and 'defiled consciousness' within the inner world through various methods, one applies all mind dharmas to understand the world of mutual obstacles and polarization in the human realm.
All causes, conditions, and karmic retributions must be activated through 'contact with conditions.' The function of recognizing and discerning is to combine humanistic thought with the circulation of goods for sustenance, forming the two essential aspects of sustenance and cultivation. Moreover, in the elevation of spiritual nature, understanding everything is 'all dharmas are created by the mind'!
How to choose and grasp the two aspects of mind dharma and spiritual nature is most important. In the world of sentient beings, humans take themselves as the subject and others as the object. Understanding the application of all mind dharmas means constructing a balance between 'all dharmas are created by the mind' and 'all phenomena are material,' thus balancing 'mind' and 'matter.'
In the present age, all teachings are flourishing, and many forms of education are being applied to the human world. Sentient beings should understand their essential meanings and further manifest true principles to transform the human world, allowing themselves to grow and accumulate rich experiences. However, if one merely clings to mind dharma without embodying and verifying survival, what can be done!
Often, humans apply mind dharma and completely negate the actions necessary for sustenance in survival. Furthermore, in the categories of mind dharma, one distinguishes between 'ordinary mind dharma' and 'spiritual mind dharma.' It is important to clearly embody and not deviate from survival or favor one side over the other, maintaining balance between the two.
Only by achieving completeness in both aspects can one adopt the appropriate method in the human world. Moreover, the present world is one of mutual benefit between yin and yang. Each action must conform to the union of yin and yang. The human world is always in a state of polarization and continues to make choices regarding survival.
If one cannot elucidate this method, it will inevitably lead to favoring one side and neglecting the other. It will also be difficult to recognize the other side and achieve balance. By applying the categories of mind dharma, one can resolve this dilemma and truly integrate survival and spiritual nature.
The realm of mutual benefit between yin and yang is difficult for sentient beings to attain. In the categories of mind dharma, if the foundation is not solid, pursuing spiritual or psychic mind dharmas will lead to many obstacles in making choices about survival, and it will be difficult to guide true principles from the realm of reality and truly transform the world.
If the foundation is not solid, one will often encounter obstacles due to ignorance and find it difficult to understand the true meanings of heaven and earth, the infinite, the void, and the great universe's operations. Moreover, by clinging to notions of right and wrong, ○X, correct and incorrect, and good and evil, and constantly pursuing them, one will remain forever in the vortex of samsara.
Application of the Mind Dharma: Why should the true principle be applied to the present moment of existence? If one cannot reach this state, one will inevitably cling to notions of right and wrong, ○X, correctness and error. Little do they know! All living beings in the human world are subject to the mutual influence of Yin and Yang, and no one can easily escape this predicament.
In the world of sentient beings, even more so! This process perpetually exists in a vortex of creating evil and sin. Moreover! One may think they can escape this boundary, but in reality, they are always in a state where Yin and Yang do not mutually benefit. How can one escape this predicament? It is necessary to guide oneself into the state where 'Yin and Yang mutually benefit' in the midst of existence.
Furthermore, not leaning towards either side and being able to integrate with both is a transcendence and fundamental return to the world. In the human world, how should the Mind Dharma be applied and realized in the present? The Mind Dharma must be applied to daily life, which is guided by the dynamics of daily life.
In the process of mutual communication and application between the mind and existence, how can one transcend daily life in the present moment? That is the truth. Otherwise! Even if the Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Beings, and Bodhisattvas possess extraordinary abilities, how many can truly align their minds with these beings when human thought and concepts are difficult to transform?
Moreover! In the world of sentient beings, how should the Mind Dharma be applied to transform the actual process of daily life and elevate one's mind and the Mind Dharma? In the 'Great Way Mind Dharma,' it is necessary to first establish the main concept of humanistic thought, and one should not mistake spiritual communication and mediumship for reality when applying the Mind Dharma in the future.
For those who are spiritually attuned or mediums, if they cannot enter the true state of transcendence, they will encounter the entanglements and perplexities of karmic obstacles when applying the Mind Dharma of spiritual attunement and mediumship. Moreover, if they cannot realize the 'process of applying the Mind Dharma and spiritual attunement and mediumship,' it should be guided by the mind alignment and body alignment of the Immortals and Buddhas.
And what the Immortals and Buddhas possess and what all sentient beings lack is the ability to unearth the mind alignment, virtue, and wisdom of the Immortals and Buddhas in the present moment. This is the energy that only the Immortals and Buddhas have, and to achieve this, one must put great effort into diligent practice. Only then can one possess the same energy body as the Immortals and Buddhas, which is the state of supernatural power in daily life.
In the classification of the Mind Dharma for this evening, have the virtuous beings unearthed and understood this Mind Dharma? Moreover! If one can align their mind and body with each other in this process, one can quietly meditate for a moment in the present, and there will be a continuous alignment of minds. How can one know and realize this? It can certainly be constructed and discerned in the present moment.
The Mind Dharma's causes and conditions permeate the universe; the Great Way is boundless, and its principles must be comprehensive.
In the process of life, the spirit must be clear; when ignorance obstructs, it can be transformed into sorrow.
To know the realm of true existence, all mental phenomena are solely arranged by me.
Both the benefits of yin and yang are lovable, and one must transcend the vortex to transform relatively.
This verse! I encourage it to be shared with all sentient beings, for there will surely be gains. I hope! I hope!

Revere the heart in the vast emptiness, as it is close to the original home; the colorful spirits assist in the cause of the pen.
The virtues of the Immortal Lady permeate the great thousand worlds, and the Dharma Gate of Imprinting the Heart is rich in merit.
Today, the Namo Dàshìzhì Bodhisattva has descended to author “The Great Dao Heart Dharma • Sixth Category of Heart Dharma (Part Two)”. I wonder if, at this moment, the meanings elucidated by the Immortal and Buddha have been mutually realized and harmonized? Truly recognizing the 'benefits of yin and yang' and transcending the cycle of the three realms is truly understanding the foundation of elevation and transcendence.
Sentient human beings have a concept of 'mistaking the false for the true' and another of 'mistaking the true for the false'. How to reverse such knowledge concepts can be done by setting all survival orientations in the 'true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth' in daily life. Can one truly understand the overall root of the Great Dao in relation to survival? It is up to oneself to grasp it!

Chapter 20: *Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power* (Part 2)
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Void Golden Brush Wisdom-Opening Celestial Emperor
Namo all sentient beings are sinking, and the realm of Avalokiteśvara is connected with the sounds of suffering.
The bodhisattva and Buddha's children look forward to the next life, and the spiritual prediction creates the unproven.
To categorize and judge the types of heart dharma: in the realm of supernatural powers in daily life, and to judge the realm of supernatural powers in the spiritual heart dharma. By foreseeing the future and experiencing the events that will occur in life, one can sufficiently understand the necessity of the present life. This is a realm of supernatural powers that everyone possesses.
In the human world, if one can predict a person's past and future, it is necessary that they possess a very strong spiritual sensitivity. However, if they can only predict the present, it is very difficult to provide a detailed analysis of all future events, and they can only predict the general direction of the future.
Furthermore, the details must be achieved through human actions. Spiritual prediction can only accomplish a small part of this, and thus it is difficult to predict the overall future. Therefore, those who possess such spiritual prediction abilities often predict others with great accuracy, but their predictions regarding their own misfortunes are not necessarily accurate.
Spiritual prediction is a realm of supernatural power, and it can only be effective for practitioners or those who can resonate with the frequency of the无形空间 (wúxíng kōngjiān, the intangible space). Otherwise, it is difficult to manifest the realm of supernatural power, and moreover, from the perspective of all spiritual beings, it is necessary to understand whether it involves the leakage of heavenly secrets within the laws of cause and effect.
If this law is violated, one must clearly inform the other party within the limits of their own abilities. Moreover, when unraveling the heavenly secrets of the future, one sometimes must bear the entire process of the other party's karmic retribution, which often makes it difficult for one to identify with their own actions. Whether the actions taken to resolve one's own difficulties become part of the process of retribution depends on the outcome.
If this process cannot be understood, in the realm of spiritual powers, the process of karmic retribution, which is originally unrelated to oneself, can suddenly turn into a situation where one becomes the main actor, causing harm to oneself. This is the sorrow and confusion of many spiritual or clairvoyant individuals.
The spiritual mind method is formed through the accumulation of past experiences. Additionally, the method of predicting the other party's past, present, and future is deeply resonant because the events of the past are what one knows best. The process demonstrated by a spiritual person should be conducted according to that process.
If the prediction is accurate 60 to 70 percent of the time, it is already considered quite accurate. Achieving 100 percent accuracy is extremely difficult, as the various events of the past become a deeply ingrained memory for oneself, and one can fully understand everything that has happened in their past.
It is as if the self in the present world can more vividly remember the various events of the past. One's actions manifest, and it is possible to understand the future conduct in the present, but it cannot be predicted with complete accuracy. The reason is that one's various actions, along with human thought processes and actions, influence the outcome.
Due to differences in human actions, time, space, location, and environment, changes often occur, or the future may be directly altered. Even matters that can be predicted may become realized in the future due to human actions and methods, leading to recognition and changes.
For those who can understand 'I must change my own difficulties, and my fate must be determined by my own actions,' the matters of sentient beings in the present world are difficult to comprehend. Therefore, in the human world, methods such as fortune-telling, eight characters,先天命盘 (xiāntiān mìngpán,先天 destiny chart), 后天运势 (hòutiān yùnshì, postnatal fortune), 紫微斗数 (zǐwēi dǒushù, Purple Star Astrology), bone reading, clairvoyance, prediction, or other various methods are important.
If one can pass through the predictions of mediums and holy deities, it is only a small part. Why is this so? Because one’s actions can be transformed through thoughts, concepts, and deeds, along with the power of perseverance, thereby manifesting what was originally impossible and altering future fortunes. This is the result of human effort.
Furthermore, due to the transformation of thoughts, it becomes possible to 'thoroughly understand the past, clearly know the present, and predict the future,' but this is not absolutely accurate. One’s conduct and actions will change direction and movement, inevitably altering the actions and indicators of future conduct.
To promote one’s karmic connections and bring about the fruition and retribution. However, in spiritual predictions, it is the mind method most frequently cited by mediums and spiritually attuned individuals. When spiritual abilities manifest, it is essential to clearly understand the fairness of the law of cause and effect, without bias. Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve perfection.
In the human world, such erroneous perceptions have often existed in the past, making it difficult to elevate one’s karmic connections. If one exceeds the bounds of causality, one may fall into the vicious cycle of 'public kin becoming the principal party' during the process of such actions. This is a highly undesirable behavior, and what causes it?
In the process of spiritual predictions, most spiritually attuned individuals and mediums believe that their predictive abilities are highly accurate, and in extreme cases, they may adopt an attitude of disregarding everything. If such concepts and actions obstruct the fairness of the law of cause and effect, which is the truth of heaven and earth, they will excessively interfere with others’ karma, resulting in a situation where 'public kin become the principal party.' Moreover, it is difficult to remedy.
All the evolution in the human world is a world of mutual opposition, and absolutely no one can escape this constraint. Even those who are highly accurate in their spiritual predictions should understand that any existing karma is promoted and extinguished by human factors. This is a point that is difficult for spiritually attuned individuals to clearly understand.
Spiritual predictions: whether viewed from the standpoint of holy deities, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, or from the standpoint of human mediums and spiritually attuned individuals, how do they influence? If they affect the fairness of the law of cause and effect, they are actions that should not be taken. If one cannot remain neutral in karmic retribution, it is biased and imperfect.
It is necessary to clearly understand this process. This is the truth. Otherwise, one may believe that one’s merit is great and that one has saved many people, but is this correct? Unbeknownst to oneself, this becomes a process of creating karma, leading to karmic retribution that is difficult to reverse. One must first stand in a fair angle and position regarding one’s actions. This is the right way.
All mediumistic predictions are accurate, but one must not deviate from the law of karma.
The process of retribution must be fair, so that spiritual abilities can fundamentally transcend.
The principles of causality and retribution must be clearly understood; one should not favor either side but encourage mutual challenge.
To be impartial and upright is the way of righteousness; one should mutually encourage and invite each other.
This verse! It is for the mutual encouragement of all sentient beings. In predicting the future for oneself and others, it is essential to understand the fairness of the law of causality and retribution. Otherwise, one might prematurely reveal the future of others, thinking oneself very capable, which would indeed be a loss, turning the impartial into the principal party.

##Namo Kokuzou Bosatsu
The void is inherently a vast universe; the brushstroke brings virtue and grace to three thousand cycles.
The Heavenly Venerable descends to the Hall of Reverent Heart, assisting in the development and protection of the written word.
Today, through the mind method 'Spiritual Prediction' bestowed by Namo Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva, one can understand whether there is any infringement on the fairness of the law of causality and retribution. This prevents one from creating evil karma and suffering, which would drag one down, and also avoids making the holy immortals and Buddhas bear the karmic consequences of others, which is an unacceptable action and prediction.
It is hoped that one will clearly understand one's actions and be able to truly comprehend the key points of all their effects. Such conditions of causality and conditions are about how all human beings and sentient beings can grow, elevate, and transcend in their survival orientation, leading to beneficial growth for oneself and others. In fact, it is all a matter of one's own choice.

##Void Imperial Transmission Celestial Emperor
Namo Dae Wuan Du Ling Zhen, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha awakens the deluded and the submerged.
Crossing the netherworld to liberation from suffering, the prediction of causality and conditions clarifies the residual dust.
Through the process of the mind method of spiritual penetration, one can predict the future. This spiritual prediction allows one to foresee the future of causality and conditions in advance, serving as a warning. Furthermore, in predicting future blessings, misfortunes, and disasters, one can understand the larger environmental processes, enabling one to take preemptive actions to prevent potential problems.
By making oneself clear in advance, one can change the major wrong directions beforehand, and there will be premonitory signs to prevent evil and wrongdoing. One should also be clear about one's actions and deeds, and the causes and conditions should manifest before they are determined, allowing one to foresee and transform misfortune into good fortune in advance.
This can reduce many obstacles and bottlenecks, providing an opportunity for oneself to transform misfortune into good fortune. Moreover, when the causes and conditions are unclear, all sentient beings will seek out immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods to reveal the heavenly secrets in advance. Additionally, in the process of one's actions and deeds, one should strive to understand before being in ignorance and uncertainty.
Indeed, by receiving advance warnings from immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods, one can prepare to prevent misfortune. Thus, sentient beings can, through the guidance of immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods, foresee future developments in the present and take preemptive actions to prevent potential problems.
It is necessary to clearly understand the advance warnings of 'revealing heavenly secrets' shown by immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods. One often bears the responsibility for revealing heavenly secrets and suffers the retribution of karma. However, it is not always the case that one will suffer retribution and pay for the causes and effects. What, then, is the purpose of the warning?
What mindset do sentient beings who receive warnings adopt to accept transformation? If it is difficult to agree with or trust, or even if they slander the words of immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and the various methods used in the prediction process, is the purpose of the warning to alert the individual with a compassionate heart? Not necessarily!
Furthermore, one should be able to take preemptive actions to transform misfortune into good fortune and be grateful. However, if one receives slander or distrust, one must bear the process of paying for the revelation of heavenly secrets, as shown by immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods. This is something one did not anticipate at the beginning. Why does it happen this way?
When the individual is grateful for the warnings of immortals and Buddhas and undergoes transformation, it becomes another merit. This can guide those who will inevitably bear the consequences of retribution in the future. Moreover, through the advance revelations of immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods, one can fundamentally transform misfortune into good fortune and promote self-improvement.
When 'revealing heavenly secrets' is shown by immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods, one does not need to bear the consequences of retribution in the future. Otherwise, one must bear the retribution of the other party's karma, which is very difficult to escape or avoid. How can both parties benefit and achieve a fair retribution of karma? Human beings fundamentally lack such a concept!
Sentient beings find it difficult to **accept** and trust the warnings and advice given by immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods when facing an uncertain future. This is through their own knowledge and experience, questioning the words of 'immortals, Buddhas, or clairvoyants and various methods.' What then?
It is difficult to agree with and trust their words and predictions about the future. There is also a proverb: 'You can predict an ox, but you cannot predict a person.' This means that humans, through their current thought processes, can realize various things and, through their own choices, can avoid predictions about the future and warnings about their destiny.
Through the process of one's thoughts, one overturns the initial predictions and further places oneself in a state unaffected by predictions. In the midst of unclear divination, this causal condition is achieved through human factors, thereby altering a person's future destiny, which is a validation of the process of divining causal conditions.
One can honestly become a turning point for ascending or descending, which requires understanding the process, precisely formed through human factors. The predictions of spiritual insight arise from the divination of causal conditions, allowing oneself to experience the extremes of growth or decline, and through the combination of causes and conditions, one can understand the origin and development of an event.
Through the process of retribution and reward in causal conditions, one fully manifests and verifies this in the world of sentient beings. The effort to change one's destiny through human factors is a process of 'renovation of latent causes' within this fixed pattern of a larger direction, and it is also the difference between ascending and descending. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to achieve such renovation.
Through this process, one can understand the dividing point between ascending and transcending or descending and cycling through rebirth. Immortals and Buddhas, psychics, and various methods can provide early warnings, guiding the individual to a turning point between growth and decline.
Certainly, when Immortals and Buddhas, psychics, and various methods resonate with the heart and mutually verify, actions that transform misfortune into good fortune will arise. When it is difficult to trust or when one is subject to slander, the early warning role of Immortals and Buddhas, psychics, and various methods, as well as the divination of causal conditions through spiritual insight, can be completely nullified in an instant.
For sentient beings, Immortals and Buddhas, psychics, and various methods, this is undoubtedly a rather cruel matter. When there is an early warning, it is necessary to observe the mindset and purpose of the individual. Without first clarifying these conditions, it is difficult for the individual to acknowledge, and the significance of predictive warnings diminishes.
Causal conditions are achieved through human factors, and divination should be clearly articulated.
The spiritual mind method guides those who are lost, and predictions of the future awaken those who are confused.
The words and deeds of those with insufficient faith should not be accompanied by slanderous speech.
When the heavenly secrets are revealed, one bears the cause and effect, and the merit of renovation is necessarily comprehensive.
This verse! It is a shared encouragement for all sentient beings, in the compassionate guidance of a Transcendent Immortal or Buddha, or through the various compassionate methods employed by spirit mediums, it is essential to understand how one can elevate oneself and avoid descending into degradation when 'revealing heavenly secrets.' This is the most crucial factor for all human beings and sentient beings.

The veneration of the heart in the void is fundamentally one; the golden pen descends to the mundane world and relies on the brush for its principles.
One opening of wisdom brings much satisfaction; the Celestial Venerable ascends the platform to meet the virtuous companions.
Today, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, who has made great vows, descends to author this work. In the process of divination and clarification of causes and conditions, it is necessary to understand the predictions made by spirit mediums. Sometimes! This is the compassion of Transcendent Immortals or Buddhas, and spirit mediums through various methods, hoping to bring about a quality of elevation in human beings and sentient beings. Thus, 'mind seals mind' and the two hearts can resonate, leading to truth.
Otherwise! When encountering distrust and slander, how should one respond? Inevitably, sentient beings will create karma in a state of helplessness. Therefore, in the process of learning the truth, what is the necessity? It is to remove the obstacles of one's own ignorance, to elevate, grow, and transcend. Human beings and sentient beings can certainly grow and increase.

##True Buddha Heart Sect Chief Chair　Venerable of the Void
The void transmits the true meaning; the subtle truth in the air is incomparably good.
The secret teachings are transmitted without bounds; the Bodhisattva relies on the electromagnetic waves of mindfulness.
Spiritual divination: The primary function in predicting one's future is to instill a sense of vigilance and to understand the realm and process of ignorance. In fact! The true intention is to guide the 'mind consciousness' of sentient beings, to change past erroneous thoughts, and to achieve the elevation of one's own actions and mind nature.
Furthermore, through the emission of electromagnetic waves of mindfulness, it is necessary for those who are guided by the intangible to take the lead in this process with their own mind consciousness, whether they are spirit mediums or those who communicate with spirits. This means that the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power are promoted and exercised, and thus it is necessary to have a normative role in one's words and actions.
The function of electromagnetic spiritual power is a point of attraction and repulsion. In response to external electromagnetic waves of mindfulness, it can truly predict and manifest all numerical phenomena of ignorance and the future in advance. In the exercise of electromagnetic waves of mindfulness, all spirit communication, spirit mediumship, righteous spirit mediums, righteous spirit communicators, and celestial pen practitioners are the same.
Indeed! It is not limited to the spirit communication mentioned above. All sentient beings can possess 'electromagnetic mental power' to promote and lead, and by means of mental consciousness, they can enter the manifestation process of the eighth consciousness, 'Mind King.' Only through human methods can one harmonize hearts and connect spirits with the Holy Immortals, Deities, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas.
It is necessary to promote the use or clear understanding of one's experiences, allowing them to manifest truthfully around oneself. One should strive to achieve this process, using mental consciousness and accumulated experience to promote growth, and through growth, to transform the situation, thereby reaping good benefits.
As the electromagnetic waves of the mind, they are precisely the manifestation of spiritual power. If these waves are not clear, they will inevitably increase many interferences, making it difficult to clearly transmit and receive one's spiritual power waves. This results in much noise, and in human mental consciousness, it is precisely what governs one's actions.
This process: human beings are inherently generators. Why is this so? It is because their bodies can emit electromagnetic waves of spiritual power, thereby allowing them to connect with the Upper Heavens, Holy Immortals, Deities, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas. Some can understand all the conditions of the heavenly realms, and others can disseminate these waves of spiritual power without limit.
In the process dominated by one's mental consciousness, human mental consciousness, through the electromagnetic waves generated by the body, can disseminate all processes. Immediately, one can move one's thoughts and clearly understand the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds. The process of dominating one's mental consciousness is facilitated by the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power.
Thus, for sentient beings, why can the Upper Heavens, Holy Immortals, Deities, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas descend to resolve difficulties or dangers when they arise? It is precisely due to the emission of electromagnetic waves of spiritual power. For sentient beings at present: it is based on their growth process and accumulated experience.
For this kind of electromagnetic waves of spiritual power, being able to apply them truthfully and clearly is the correct path. Otherwise, if the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power are weak, it is like being in a fog, making it difficult to receive them, and they will certainly be obstructed and unable to achieve clarity. Therefore, the conditions for emitting electromagnetic waves of spiritual power must include the body's ability to generate electricity.
Only then can the electrical power be conveyed to one's thought processes. If the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power are clear, they will be more easily understood; if there are obstructions, there will certainly be noise and interference. Sentient beings can verify this in televisions or radios, as the attraction and repulsion of electromagnetic waves of spiritual power are precisely what facilitate their own electromagnetic waves of spiritual power.
Therefore, some can directly connect to the cosmic heavenly realms, the boundless heavenly realms, the void heavenly realms, and the heavenly realms of heaven and earth, absorbing and receiving them, due to the strength of their electromagnetic waves of spiritual power. If the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power cannot reach this range, it is because they are very weak, leading to difficulty in reception or interference from noise.
In the case of a person's thoughts and intentions, if the electromagnetic waves of spiritual power are not strong, they will not be able to maintain a firm and lasting focus on a task. If, however, one can truly expand one's electromagnetic waves of spiritual power, there will be an attraction in the waves of spiritual power that allows for this. If they cannot be continuous, it will be like the repulsion of magnetic forces.
Thus, it is difficult for one's spiritual energy waves to reach clarity. The method of spiritual communication is realized within this framework, and it is through the mutual relationship of this function among those who are spiritually attuned, such as spirit mediums, spirit communicators, righteous spirit writers, righteous spirit transmitters, and celestial scribes, that the attraction and repulsion of spiritual energy waves become the dividing point between the two.
Through the facilitation of spiritual energy waves, one can resonate with the hearts and bodies of immortals and Buddhas. Some wonder how to unearth the treasures of the holy deities and enlightened beings within these spiritual energy waves. It is precisely through the similar sentiments and energies of sentient beings and the holy immortals and Buddhas that one is given the opportunity for learning and growth, leading to ascension and transcendence.
Furthermore, how can one truly realize this process in the present moment? It is essential to clarify one's own energy waves and transform negative and impure thoughts and concepts. This is the correct approach; otherwise, within the spiritual energy waves, one cannot achieve clear and profound realization. It is necessary to have this process of energy transformation.
Not only can one emit one's own spiritual energy waves, but also truly resonate with the hearts of immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas, and actually connect with their spiritual presence. This will enable the absorption of the energies of compassion, wisdom, and virtue from the immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas, leading to a virtuous and profound realization. It is hoped that one can understand how to correctly manage one's own spiritual energy waves.
Spiritual energy waves are human-made, shaped by thoughts and concepts.
The method of spiritual communication must be understood; the waves of mental power will follow.
Attraction and repulsion are both manifestations of mental power; the transmission of energy waves knows no boundaries.
Interference from杂讯 (noise) makes clarity difficult; clarity allows one to resonate with heaven and earth.
This verse! It allows all sentient beings to truly manifest their energy waves and mental power, facilitating the exercise of mental power within their own consciousness. It can certainly be clear and free from interference, leading to the elevation of virtuous and beautiful qualities. This is precisely the way to transcend and achieve a higher realm of spiritual power and growth. Hope for it! Hope for it!

##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
From the celestial realm of emptiness, reverence arises in the heart; the virtue of the Celestial Venerable is bestowed upon sentient beings.
Spiritual energy waves attract each other; the true era of the Dao Gate is further flourishing.
Today, we have the presence of Namo Kūkōzō Bosatsu, who has descended to study together. In the ninth session of the Heart Dharma on 'Wave Mind Power,' one must sincerely share their own experiences, as it is essential for mediums in the human world to understand the process and how to make it clear and luminous. Otherwise, if the spiritual energy waves are interfered with, how can they be transmitted clearly?
As long as humans exist, they will receive such感应 (inductions). Whether they can ascend or not is uncertain. Conversely, they may rely on such inductions, and even believe that what they have sensed is very accurate. However, there are many obscure limitations and obstacles within this, making it difficult to understand.

Twenty-Sixth Session: The Power of Supernatural Deeds (Part 2)
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Namo Nendou Ancient Buddha
Namo all sentient beings recite; Maitreya universally transforms the praises of sentient beings.
Bodhisattvas transcend the three assemblies; magnetic attraction and repulsion mutually venerate.
Spiritual energy waves: They are formed by the analogy of mediums and spirit communicators, or righteous spirit mediums, righteous spirit writers, and celestial pen practitioners, to attraction and repulsion. Each has its own independent power generation system, and the process of reception and absorption, as well as repulsion and obstruction, is necessary. From the perspective of a medium, it involves distinguishing between unidirectional and bidirectional reception processes.
By engaging in the actions of mutual acceptance and repulsion with the Holy Immortals and Buddhas, one can construct the ability to receive clearly or be interfered with through their own spiritual body's instinct. Additionally, by distinguishing between sentient mediums and spirit communicators, one must purify their mind to have the possibility of truly receiving the spirits of the Immortals and Buddhas.
Furthermore, one must not harbor uncleanness or defilement within oneself, as this makes it very difficult for the Immortals and Buddhas to accept. In the Dharma of Spirit Communication, clarity is essential, and thus one judges their usual actions and words to determine if they are honest, upright, sincere, impartial, mindful, and accurate.
It is essential to guide various correct thoughts and enable mutual spirit communication with the Immortals and Buddhas, which is the primary principle of mediumship. If one's actions and words make it difficult to resonate with the Immortals and Buddhas, it will also be difficult to communicate mutually with upright Immortals and Buddhas, and it will be very difficult to invite Holy Immortals and Buddhas from the upper realms or higher dimensions.
Directly emitting spiritual energy waves and resonating with spirit communicators makes a significant difference. One's usual actions and words, and whether one is honest as a human being, have a significant relationship. Therefore, humans are likened to machines, and also to radios, which must be equipped with the ability to absorb.
If there is only a one-way reception function, one remains in the act of absorption in the process of modeling from above to below. However, for two-way communication to be possible, one must possess both absorption and emission functions. Moreover! How can two-way communication be achieved? It is precisely through mutual verification and communication with 聖神仙佛 (Sage Immortals and Buddhas).
In reality, it is necessary to understand the process of discerning and choosing one's nature. This allows oneself to resonate with and connect to the spirits of the 仙佛 (Immortals and Buddhas), thereby achieving a higher level of the transformation of the source of merit, and enabling oneself to function in both absorption and emission. Human beings are like magnets, capable of both absorption and repulsion.
One must distinguish between the positive and negative poles, and how to achieve the function of absorption? It is necessarily through the attraction between positive and negative that it becomes possible. If it is only 'negative-negative or positive-positive,' absorption is difficult, and instead, repulsion occurs. It is essential to determine whether the receiver's function is sensitive and to thoroughly understand the true intentions of the 仙佛 (Immortals and Buddhas).
To truly align oneself with the frequency of the 仙佛 (Immortals and Buddhas), it is necessary for both the 仙佛 and human beings to possess the instinctive ability to receive spiritual qualities of Buddha-nature. When contacting the fundamental spirit of the 仙佛, one's frequency must be similar to theirs. Otherwise! No matter how sensitive the transmission device may be, it is difficult to resonate with and connect to the 仙佛.
It is necessary to clearly determine whether one can initiate a sensitive absorption function, and moreover! To be clear and free from any interference is the correct path. For the magnetic attraction to occur, the sensitivity of the receiving device must be very high. If the receiving device is not clear, many obstacles arise, and it is difficult for the reception of such information to align with the frequency.
If! It is truly difficult to be clear and sensitive, then the process of magnetic attraction and acceptance is the correct path. However! In the present era, those among sentient beings who possess such frequency conditions are extremely rare. If it is possible to transmit with over seventy percent accuracy, then such conditions are also extremely sensitive.
Moreover! It is necessary to utilize one's experience and wisdom. In the past, it was possible to apply this fully at one hundred percent. However! In the present era, due to the improvement in knowledge and the widespread availability of education among sentient beings, illiteracy has become extremely rare. Some have read extensively in poetry and literature, applying their specialized knowledge, while others have built a broad and diverse body of knowledge.
All sentient beings should truly understand that the spirit body is a 'reception and absorption' apparatus. It is capable of both 'absorption and reception' and 'interference and repulsion.' This is because both functions are inherent in the fundamental spirit. For one to become a spokesperson for the divine messengers of the heavens, this is the true nature.
It is necessary to possess a highly sensitive reception function. Additionally, in the process of verifying and experiencing, one must clearly discern and be clear. The mutual attraction and repulsion are difficult for sentient beings with spiritual sensitivity to experience, and the difficulty in resonating with and experiencing the 仙佛 (Immortals and Buddhas) lies in this key point.
Moreover, one does not know whether one's receiver has been damaged, nor how to adjust one's frequency. If one can resonate with the frequency of the 仙佛 (Immortals and Buddhas), it is a process that one should clearly understand. If the absorption and repulsion of a spiritually sensitive being are not clear and sensitive, then there is a flaw in one's receiver.
If not! Without the transformation and adjustment by the Dharma, and without the virtues and wisdom of the Immortals and Buddhas, it is very difficult to manifest one's receiver in its true form in the present moment. One must realize: it is precisely through the mutual attraction and repulsion within oneself.
The human body's reception function is characterized by the mutual resonance of the spirit.
The instinct is clear and the body is bright; interference from noise must be removed.
The spirit resonates through causes and conditions, recognizing the heavenly secrets, making reception and absorption easier.
Repulsion and interference are difficult, but the spirit that is light and clear is incomparable.
This verse! I offer it to all sentient beings, encouraging them to understand the functions of attraction and reception, as well as repulsion and interference within themselves. By comprehending the workings of their spiritual instincts, one can harmonize with the causes and conditions of the Immortals and Buddhas. Through the descent of the Immortals and Buddhas, one can possess their virtues and wisdom, which is the true nature.

##Deputy Supreme Master of Humanity and Heaven, Primordial Lord, Lady Ma the Immortal
In the year of Gengchen, the completion and cessation were marked. In the early year of Xinsi, blessings were welcomed.
Using abundant experience for transformation, the correct discourse of imprinting the mind nourishes all beings.
Today, Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva descends to embody the tenth session of the 'Great Way Mind Dharma.' The human body is indeed a mechanism of attraction and repulsion. How does one generate one's spiritual power? It is accomplished within the spiritual energy of electromagnetic waves. How does one achieve clarity and illumination? It is by leading and distinguishing the actions of attraction and repulsion within oneself.

Twenty-Eighth Session: The Power of Ending Defilements (Part 2)
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Heavenly Official of the Upper Yuan, Great Emperor of Bestowing Blessings
The ancient Buddha of the South Sea descends, opening auspiciousness in the early year of Xinsi.
Light the lamp of the heart, never let it extinguish; the Lingji heart method is the master and the cultivator.
In the process of magnetic attraction and repulsion, it is necessary to understand a spirit medium. To finely and thoroughly grasp the heart method, one must sincerely integrate one’s own spiritual power with that of the Immortals and Buddhas, and determine whether one is subject to interference or obstruction, and whether one’s own spirit medium heart method can be sincerely constructed and elevated to transcendence.
Just as with similar radio frequencies, it is necessary to clearly understand whether there is interference or noise in the process of reception and rejection. The essence of the Lingji heart method is precisely this, and all spirit medium functions are related to the operation and construction of the heart method, having different functional relationships and affecting the sensitivity of reception.
It is necessary to embody and verify. The sharpness of one’s ‘heart nature and spiritual power’ can only be achieved through this. Otherwise, the spirit medium heart method will find it difficult to elevate one’s heart nature and actions. In one’s spiritual power, what is the reason for the lack of sincere construction of the spirit medium heart method?
Lingji Heart Method: When observing spirit mediums or spirit receivers, whether as a medium or a Lingji, one must judge whether one can construct one’s heart nature and knowledge, and whether it is reasonable and practical. By invoking the true principles of heaven and earth, one can achieve oneself and sentient beings, and elevate one’s heart nature.
Whether one’s mind and consciousness are leading, or whether one can be guided and elevated to transcendence by receiving the spiritual abilities of the Immortals and Buddhas. However, in the state of mind of the Lingji, if one cannot completely integrate with the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas at the present moment, it is not certain whether one’s actions have reached the conditions of the true realm.
Whether one stands in the ‘conventional truth’ or the ‘ultimate truth’ is judged by whether one is mindful. In the spirit medium heart method of the Lingji, the Immortals and Buddhas have their perspective, and humans have theirs. However, in a broader view, both the perspectives of the Immortals and Buddhas and humans cannot depart from the laws of heaven and earth and the true principles.
Survival Principle: When there is any deviation, it can be understood how to correct and elevate it through human factors. By absorbing the experiences of sentient beings and using them as references, the methods employed can align with the needs of sentient beings, and it is necessary to integrate with the virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas to thoroughly manifest one’s spiritual power.
Whether one can distinguish the sincerity of one’s ‘Lingji heart method.’ The Lingji, through one’s own experiences, can combine with the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas. Depending on the strength and weakness of one’s heart nature and the reception ability of the spirit medium, and furthermore, if the Lingji cannot possess the compassionate virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas, what will be the result?
Whether one can withstand the tests of Heaven and the Immortals and Buddhas. By observing whether one can accept the trials and tribulations and reveal the truth, one can understand whether one is capable of shouldering the great responsibility of ‘proclaiming the teachings on behalf of Heaven,’ or whether one is merely a minor role.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to apply the compassionate virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas fundamentally, and even more difficult for sentient beings to benefit from their teachings. Moreover, when observing the spiritual communication and spirit writing in the realm of sentient beings, it is necessary to go through such a process of trials, and how can one know that all trials are aimed at witnessing and transforming one's own shortcomings to become a future proclaimer on behalf of Heaven?
If one cannot pass through all stages of trials, it would be difficult to become a great vehicle spiritual communicator or spirit writer, and without being selected by Heaven, one would not be fit to assume the heavy responsibility of being a spokesperson. As a result, the process of trials would cease, leading to two scenarios: one is that the individual has already passed, and the other is that they have been abandoned by Heaven.
At times, it is necessary to pass through human factors, at other times through the verification of the Immortals and Buddhas, and at still other times by borrowing other methods for trials. This ensures that all spiritual communicators, mediums, spirit writers, and spirit channels must undergo the foundational process of trials. Therefore, to become an advocate of the formless, one must be able to align with the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas.
Regardless of which Immortal or Buddha in the mundane world interacts with a spiritual communicator, they must go through this process of trials to become a true advocate. In the trial process of spirit writing, mediumship, spiritual communication, and spiritual sensitivity, the most crucial aspect is that if it is difficult to possess the compassionate and virtuous frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas, one cannot be called an advocate.
For sentient beings to reach the stage and realm of transformation, such a process of selection within spiritual abilities is necessary. This means distinguishing between true advocates of the deities and Buddhas and those mediums who have been eliminated from the selection. Everyone should understand their own conditions and qualifications, which are clear to those who are well-versed in the inner workings.
Each time the Immortals and Buddhas descend, there is a process of scoring, and whether the spirit writer can use the treasures of the Immortals and Buddhas to transform sentient beings in the lower realms is determined through the process of being given to and accepted by the true spirit mediums, celestial pen practitioners, spirit writers, spirit channels, and spiritual communicators.
Each time, the mental state must be observed to determine whether it can pass through the trials when the Immortals and Buddhas descend, and whether it can fulfill the role of connecting with their spiritual messages. True spirit mediums, celestial pen practitioners, true spirit writers, true spirit channels, and true spiritual communicators are all the same, ensuring that sentient beings can learn and transform with each trial.
By observing the mental state and its ability to bear the differences between great vehicle, middle vehicle, and small vehicle practitioners, the mental state and thought processes are distinguished to determine how each should be given. In each dynamic and functional process, the role of connecting with the spirits for sentient beings is constructed through human cognitive abilities.
Spirit writing: It is prevalent throughout every place in the precious island of Taiwan. By guiding with the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas, one can connect with them. Each Immortal and Buddha has a designated proxy, and through the process of selection, one can understand how to possess wisdom, virtue, and compassion, thereby fulfilling the role of spirit writing.
When observing each Immortal and Buddha and spirit writing in Taiwan, it is only possible for those who have a karmic connection. If there is no such connection, it becomes difficult to align with their frequency. Moreover, in the process of purifying the spirit, many obstacles can arise. The first essential element for the Immortals, Buddhas, holy deities, and bodhisattvas to connect with the spirits is to have a karmic connection from past lives.
Moreover, one must resonate with those of the same frequency to achieve spiritual communication. If such an opportunity is not available, it must be constructed through the training process of the spirit medium. Some spirit mediums need to enter seclusion, while others require a training process, and still others do not, depending on their individual abilities…, each is different yet the same!
At each stage, how should the Immortals and Buddhas transmit their spiritual power so that the spirit medium can receive it? Moreover, the true connection must be 'spirit to spirit.' There are many different levels within the hierarchy of the Immortals and Buddhas, and the actions of teaching at each level have different effects and functions, thus bringing different benefits!
Therefore! One must not negate the functions and effects from a personal perspective. By truthfully transmitting the knowledge and accumulated experience of each Immortal and Buddha to the lower realms, one can observe the words and actions of spirit mediums, spirit communicators, spirit conduits, righteous spirit mediums, and celestial scribes.
One can certainly know the realm, level, and fruition of the divine spirits behind them. This cannot be deceived, as it can be clearly understood from the words and actions that descend. There is no need to mention grand titles; those in the know can understand everything at a glance. In the present time and space, it is also possible to borrow the names of the Immortals and Buddhas.
However, the Immortals and Buddhas have already attained the fruition of the path and do not need the food chain, while spirit mediums exist only to live in the human world. Moreover, it is true that they must pass through each step of survival, and in the process of receiving spiritual power, the Immortals and Buddhas sometimes use human methods to guide.
Through teaching, one gains the resources for achievement. Whether a spirit conduit or a spirit medium is capable of their role and can fully receive spiritual communication is not always certain. In fact, they are achieved through different causes and conditions, and possess different levels and realms of teaching. It depends on whether they are diligent, for only then can they become a spokesperson for a high-level divine messenger.
Spiritual communication training depends on diligence; the training process has a definite form.
The无形化影 (intangible manifestation) exists in the mind; when understood, it surely becomes a transcendent shadow.
The spirit medium can become a代天宣 (spokesperson for heaven); they are rich in resources and upright and sincere.
Do not slander because of different levels; belittling others creates karma.
Enduring the truth, one transforms the lower realms; all sentient beings are thus sublimated.
In the human realm, one creates a lotus land; through the spiritual heart method, one achieves and adorns oneself.

April 17, 2001 - The 24 Day of the Third Lunar Month (Tuesday)
Twenty-Ninth Session: Special Abilities
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Supreme Master of Humanity and Heaven, Chief Venerable of the Void
Namo Rándēng Gǔfó descends; the Great Way heart method guides through delusions and obstacles.
With the bright illumination of the heart lamp as the theme, one walks the spiritual mountains and returns with ease.
In the functioning of the spirit medium heart method, a medium must understand that they need to undergo training and guidance to communicate with immortals and Buddhas. When promoting one's own spiritual power, it is through the training and practice processes provided by immortals and Buddhas that one can grow and clarify one's mind, thereby achieving elevation and development.
Through the training process, one integrates resources, making one's spiritual power more acutely receptive and effective. Therefore, in one's actions, one should manifest and highlight the virtues of immortals and Buddhas. For those who walk the spiritual mountains, a standard for integrating the spirit mediums of the current Taiwan island is established to bring about a further elevation.
Many delusions and obstacles must be removed; otherwise, in the training of spirit mediums, the virtues and compassion of immortals and Buddhas cannot be connected. The first prerequisite in the training process of a spirit medium is to have karmic connections from past lives with immortals and Buddhas. This enables mutual connection in this era, allowing for the guidance of others.
Moreover, in this era and local environment, it is necessary to embody the virtues of immortals and Buddhas. This is because the exercise of spiritual power is the primary purpose of walking the spiritual mountains. For those who walk the spiritual mountains, it is not always certain that they can enhance their spiritual power at any time and place. One must be cautious!
Currently, spirit mediums are unaware that they can connect with the holy immortals, Buddhas, and deities of all sentient worlds. Regardless of whether they are of the upper, middle, or lower levels, they can mutually respond to their own intrinsic spirits, and also come into contact with many residual spirits, other divine spirits, and the karmic obstacles of 'Yuanqin Zhaizhu'.
Moreover, the reason one cannot elevate and guide one's own spiritual nature lies in this process! The spirit medium itself has different levels, different training, and different teachings, resulting in various different sources of merit. This is discerned by the differences in levels and determined by the realm and rank one occupies, which can be known from one's words and actions.
Traversing Spirit Mountain: The easiest problem to encounter is that any divine spirit, residual spirit, or karmic obstacle “Yuanqin Zaizhu” can interact with each other. Why is this so? It is because within the realm of spiritual communication and power, each level can communicate with one another, and each level is distinct, allowing for the handling and manifestation of affairs.
Therefore: Due to the differences in levels, teachings, and realms, the resulting outcomes are also different. This leads to numerous obstacles, barriers, and bottlenecks. When encountering such issues, if one interacts with righteous spirits, deities, immortals, saints, or Buddhas, greater manifestation is possible, and spiritual power can be thoroughly enhanced and transcended.
However! When traversing Spirit Mountain, what one encounters is not always a righteous deity. Moreover, when one does not come into contact with high-level divine spirits, many obstacles can arise for one's survival and physical body, and the spiritual cultivation of walking Spirit Mountain cannot lead to elevation. Instead, it may use the names of immortals, Buddhas, saints, and deities to lure those who walk Spirit Mountain.
Many erroneous contacts and judgments arise, creating difficulties for those who traverse Spirit Mountain to elevate. At this stage, what should be done is to improve one's mind-nature, understand the virtues and functions of immortals and Buddhas, and guide oneself to a higher dimension. However, this often results in repeated downfall and entrapment in various pitfalls and vortices.
Traversing Spirit Mountain: Sometimes one can connect with righteous deities, saints, and Buddhas, but it is necessary to have a protective divine spirit provide comprehensive protection first. Otherwise, every time, other residual or external spirits may take advantage of the situation and make contact, leading to the distinction of whether one's spirituality will elevate or fall.
Moreover, during the process of connecting with spirits, one can clearly understand. Therefore, what is necessary for those who traverse Spirit Mountain is the protective function for the physical body and spirituality, allowing for the expansion of a broader perspective and a more open heart. It is essential to protect the physical body and spirituality, integrating one's mind-nature and virtues, and bringing a righteous path to one's growth and training.
“Ling Shan Shengjing” originally exists in the heavens. From the perspective of the spirits of the mundane world, the beautiful name of walking Spirit Mountain means that through training and enlightenment, one can awaken the inherent nature and spirituality deeply hidden within one's original spirit. This is the most primitive origin, the original ground of each person’s Spirit Mountain, which Buddhism refers to as the Eighth Consciousness, the Tathāgatagarbha.
Through the enlightenment of spirituality, one can connect with sages, immortals, deities, and Buddhas, further awakening one's spirituality and elevating the correct guiding concepts. In the process where one's accumulated knowledge and learning from past lives take the lead, one must truly “embody the will of heaven, walk the path of heaven, and proclaim the teachings of heaven,” guiding oneself and all beings to growth and transcendence.
Some: grow through being half-saint and half-ordinary, half-cultivated and half-trained, and often encounter many obstacles and bottlenecks due to the insufficiency of their knowledge and accumulated wisdom. Some even cause disharmony in their own and their entire family’s lives, and sometimes walking Spirit Mountain leads to the destruction of their home and the loss of loved ones, with various trials differing from person to person.
Moreover! It is often believed that the Supreme Heaven is testing one's foundation and resolve. Is this due to the lack of power and compassionate protection from immortals and Buddhas? No! Some can even connect with immortals and Buddhas, and there are those who use the names of immortals and Buddhas to commit great theft. In the process of connecting with immortals and Buddhas, many errors arise.
Therefore, in the future, many trials and tribulations will be encountered, which will truly reveal the present actions. Those who practice spirit mediumship and channeling must understand how to act and how to manifest the virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas. This is the correct path! Otherwise, those who use the names of the Immortals and Buddhas to commit theft will surely taste bitter fruits in the future.
In the future, the Immortals and Buddhas may also be affected and find it difficult to escape the causal relationship. It will inevitably become a process of shared karmic retribution for the Immortals and Buddhas, resulting in self-inflicted consequences and self-received retribution. Even when the Immortals and Buddhas advise, some do not listen, and even when they call, some do not wake, believing that connecting with the spiritual energies of heaven and earth is correct, but in reality, it is not so!
The result of incorrect methods leads to such actions, which are processes that those who walk the Spirit Mountain and practice spirit mediumship should understand. Why do some not suffer from bitter retribution? It is because they have a correct understanding of the teachings of the Immortals and Buddhas, which they can implement in the human world, thereby reducing many obstacles and interferences, and truly establishing merit in the human world as a basis for future elevation in status.
Walking the Spirit Mountain is a training,　　broadening one's perspective and forming great and righteous connections.
Borrowing names to steal in the future,　　the Immortals and Buddhas will share the burden of retribution.
The role of spirit mediumship is to manifest virtue,　　to discern the flower of the true mind and inherent nature.
To alleviate the suffering of the human world,　　to establish merit and propagate the teachings.
This verse! It is for the mutual encouragement of sentient beings and those who walk the Spirit Mountain, and this is the correct path!

##Void Principle Virtue Immortal Lady, Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
The Deputy Teacher of Humans and Heaven, Ma Xiangu,　　descended and wrote at the beginning of the year Xin Si.
All disciples and virtuous followers, good evening,　　the principle of transformation through veneration is unique.
Today, the principal author is the Immortal Buddha, Namo Rándēng Gǔfó, who descends to write the twelfth chapter of the Heart Dharma: 'Walking the Spirit Mountain.' This is to gradually unveil the layers of the Heart Dharma, so that those who practice spirit divination can understand how to establish true principles as the guiding force in their training and cultivation, thus avoiding the deep abyss of evil karma in the future.
In the authorship of the 'Great Dao Heart Dharma,' the application of all heart dharmas for higher-level elevation is explained step by step through the function and role of the 'Treatise Treasury.' This is to provide those who walk the Spirit Mountain with a more realistic opportunity for growth and transcendence, rather than continually encountering bottlenecks and finding it difficult to understand the issues, which is indeed a great sorrow.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Function of Consciousness
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Nanping Daohui Ancient Buddha
The Upper Yuan blesses the earth and benefits all living beings; the Celestial Official bestows blessings upon all spirits.
The Great Emperor universally protects the sentient world; the practice of walking the Spirit Mountain is the fundamental cause and proof.
The method of practicing with the Spirit Mountain as the guiding force is to 'penetrate' the spirit divination of the sentient world. This is because constructing within the range of spiritual reception is necessary for oneself to walk the Spirit Mountain in the external world, where one can verify the mind and intentions with many sages, immortals, buddhas, and bodhisattvas.
Additionally, other sentient residual spirits (such as tree spirits, stone spirits, mountain spirits, shadow spirits, animal spirits, deceased spirits, stubborn spirits, and karmic creditors) will mutually verify their hearts along with the karmic obstacles accumulated over many lifetimes. This means that it is difficult to understand during the practice process whether one will ascend and transcend or descend and sink.
Observing the spirit divination of the sentient world, it is undoubtedly difficult to understand the points of difficulty. When walking the Spirit Mountain in the external world, one is verified by external spirits, making it possible to discern one's different mental dispositions and levels through the effects of one's mindset. This is brought about through contact with immortals and buddhas or the mutual invasion of karmic obstacles.
By constructing one's own heart and will, it is possible to understand at the stage of practicing the Spirit Mountain whether one's intrinsic spirit will connect with immortals and buddhas or with karmic obstacles. Because one's spiritual power manifests in one's actions, walking the Spirit Mountain will provide a distinction between whether one's mental disposition ascends or descends.
Practicing in the external world makes it difficult for immortals and buddhas to provide full protection. The process of mutual contact with the external world is naturally less convenient than practicing in the cultivation hall. Being in the external world, there are many external spirits and karmic obstacles that have the opportunity to interact, which inevitably increases.
Walking in the external world, there are distinctions in regions and environments, which increase the reasons for one's ascent or descent. The practice of the Spirit Mountain is the key point where spirit divination contacts, determining whether one can bear the holy mission of the spirits of the heavens. Contact with the external world can increase many experiences and enhance immunity.
However! If not handled well, there will be many disturbances, and one may be invaded by karmic obstructions and past creditors. In such cases, for each person with karmic connections, there will be the protection and heart-sealing of the local deities, but some will be able to elevate themselves, while others will inevitably be dragged down.
This condition: whether the practice of spirit mediumship in the external world can serve as an opportunity to enhance one's immunity? It is precisely through passing the external tests that mutual 'heart-sealing actions or spirit-reception actions' occur, which are related to the future functions of practice and teaching, and enhancing immunity is also a cause for upward elevation.
If one cannot reach this state, on the contrary! one will be affected by the interference and influence of contact with external spiritual forces, which will also become an obstacle to further elevation. From the perspective of the spiritual power of a spirit medium, it is precisely at this point that the distinction is made—whether one's spiritual power is self-directed or guided by external forces.
The methods of spirit communication on Spirit Mountain are numerous, and each recipient of spiritual power is different. There are many different ways to receive spirits from each Immortal or Buddha, and it is impossible to set one method of spirit communication as the standard, otherwise it would be very difficult to make contact with each spirit medium.
This function is necessary within the range of spirit reception, as one must understand the process of repaying karmic obstructions. If this is not clearly understood, it often interferes with the mental power of the spirit medium, leading to direct command actions. Thus, spirit mediums in the mundane world often undergo the process of being influenced by external forces, which is also part of this.
Due to the invasion of karmic obstructions, one pursues the welfare of sentient beings. If karmic obstructions can be repaid with merit, this is a very complete method. However, if one leads with a heart of hatred towards karmic obstructions, it will certainly increase the damage to the spirit medium's mental consciousness, and when led by karmic obstructions or external spirits, this is indeed very helpless!
Therefore, it is impossible to provide an opportunity for further elevation, and in extreme cases! one will be hindered and troubled. This process applies to all practitioners on Spirit Mountain, as well as spirit mediums, spirit channels, spirit communicators, spirit conduits, righteous spirit mediums, righteous spirit writers, and celestial scribes. Moreover, the range within which spirit reception with Immortals and Buddhas occurs during the process of external force invasion is beyond one's comprehension.
Indeed, it is difficult for spirit communicators in the mundane world to clearly understand and experience this process. Therefore, whether the expansion of spiritual power is possible or not is a criterion for evaluating the reception process of a spirit medium. When a spirit medium is in this process, they must discern their own nature and strive for growth through the accumulation of their inherent knowledge and experience.
One's mental consciousness should be the guiding and integrating force. This ensures that the range of spirit communication for a spirit medium does not suddenly shrink. Moreover, there are many who practice the Great Way, the Upper Way, the Middle Way, and the Lower Way, or who carry out the Great Way under the name of Immortals and Buddhas.
This is an indisputable fact! Such actions are often carried out. Therefore, those who practice the Great Way will inevitably face the process of future retribution. Moreover! because they cannot pursue the resources for further elevation, their practice is guided and integrated by the accumulation of their inherent knowledge, learning, and experience, which distinguishes all future achievements.
The practice on Spirit Mountain requires protection; the support of Immortals and Buddhas lies in one's own cultivation.
Due to the interference of karma, transgressions sometimes occur; by understanding and eliminating them, virtue is further cultivated.
The practice on Spirit Mountain is based on karmic connections; the functioning of the immune system relies on one's own manifestation.
The forms of spiritual communication among humans are numerous and varied; each is different and difficult to change.
This verse! We study it together with all virtuous companions to establish a major direction for growth and improvement in the practice on Spirit Mountain in the future. It is precisely the pursuit of immunity and the repeated cycle of rebirth in the human world, leading to the transformation into four-legged creatures, that distinguishes human behavior, creating this very difference.

May 1, 2001 - The 9 Day of the Fourth Lunar Month (Tuesday)
Chapter Thirty-Two: Divergent Paths
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Ruler of the Southern Heaven, Sacred Emperor of Literature and Balance
The Master of the Human and Celestial Sect presides, and the Venerable of the Void expounds the truth.
The mind teachings of the Great Way are widely propagated, and the training of spirit mediums establishes the foundation of the Way.
The practice on Spirit Mountain is for personal achievement, through the process of connecting with the external world to enhance one's own immunity. Moreover, this condition, in relation to the spiritual power of spirit mediums, requires the accumulation of 'wisdom and experience' to learn the compassionate virtues and universal equality of Immortals and Buddhas.
Indeed! Through the process of learning and connecting with Immortals and Buddhas, this virtue can be manifested in the world and in writings, allowing spirit mediums to grow through experience and to establish a solid foundation in their training. This enhances one's own mind and spirit, making it more in line with the unfolding of the Great Way.
The training of spirit mediums requires selection by the principal deity of the local temple or the local deities. This condition necessitates a combination of karmic connections and must meet the criteria of 'proclaiming the teachings on behalf of Heaven.' Selection is made through the recommendations of Immortals and Buddhas, and is determined by one's resolve, character, and intentions.
O practitioner! It is necessary to first submit a special petition and then undergo training. O practitioner! After being reported by the local principal deity, the local deities will take charge of the training. In the general training process of spirit mediums, there is no need to submit a petition; the deities directly select those with a karmic connection for training and education.
In the training process of a spirit medium, how should the role of future propagation and promotion be positioned? This should be understood through the training process, including the methods used for training and the types of resources provided for education. All of these will become clear during the training, guiding how to conduct oneself and how to undergo training.
In the training of a zhengluan sheng or a tianbi sheng, it is necessary to first submit a petition, after which the principal deity of the temple hall reports to the heavens. The Supreme Heaven evaluates their future conduct, and those deemed qualified to proclaim the will of heaven are reported by the principal deity and directly trained, thus eliminating the need for a petition.
Furthermore, what methods are used, and what resources are provided for the future training process? In the educational process of the local area, the principal deity of the temple hall must bear all responsibilities and obligations. It is important to understand that the training period for a zhengluan sheng or a tianbi sheng is generally set at forty-nine days.
This is to show the training methods used for those who previously did not understand the role of their duties and sacred tasks for the Supreme Heaven. Additionally, the training methods for a zhengluan sheng or a tianbi sheng must be integrated and evaluated by the heavens, assessing their behavior before training.
That is, due to the varying qualities of individuals, it is necessary to undergo a transformative training process. Therefore, through evaluation, selection, and training, the role of exercising authority within one's affiliated temple hall or promoting externally can be clarified, and one can understand what educational functions they will undertake in the future.
The training process involves such complex roles. Moreover, the training of a zhengluan sheng must be this rigorous. In general training, the conditions of the trainees are evaluated, and through training, one can understand how their qualities will develop in the future. Indeed, everything becomes clear during the training process.
The cultivation and training of a tianbi sheng in the Heavenly Way is similar to the cultivation process of a zhengluan sheng in a Daoist hall, but it is several times more stringent. Moreover, not only is the selection of character important, but the training process for a tianbi sheng involves many strict limitations.
In the cultivation process of a tianbi sheng, it is necessary to purify the spiritual qualities. Young individuals who have not yet experienced worldly affairs are selected for training. Can they integrate the process of the descent of immortals and Buddhas? Can they be provided with more abundant resources? The cultivation process for a tianbi sheng is far more rigorous and meticulous than that of a zhengluan sheng.
The tianbi sheng cultivated by the Heavenly Way can promote and fulfill the sacred tasks of the Heavenly Way on a broader and more active scale. This is due to the more stringent training and cultivation process. It is necessary to understand that the more rigorous the training process, the more the accomplished tianbi sheng will surpass those from Daoist halls and other temple halls, and their qualities will be superior.
The training and cultivation of Celestial Pen Students, Celestial Talent Students, and righteous spirit mediums by the Heavenly Way enables them to better promote the Great Dao. In the process of cultivating righteous spirit mediums at the Hall of the Same Dao, the rigorous nature of their contributions to the Great Dao leads to a more excellent effect, which is precisely due to the differences in conditions at different levels.
In the cultivation of all righteous spirit mediums and divine spirit spokespersons, most do not need to go through the process of submitting petitions but are directly selected for training. However, for the selection of righteous spirit mediums, they must be given the same frequency of contact; if they meet this condition, they can communicate with each other, and it is necessary to undergo the training process.
Furthermore, in the training process of righteous spirit mediums, how should a proclaimer of the Heavenly Will interact with the Immortals and Buddhas? Although there is no need to submit petitions, the local or main deity of the hall directly selects those with a karmic connection, and the primary training does not require the forty-nine-day training process.
As long as they meet the conditions for interacting with the Immortals and Buddhas, how should they carry out the actions of descending to the world and how to achieve the actions of 'saving the world and alleviating suffering'? In the process of cultivating righteous spirit mediums, it is necessary to determine whether they can shoulder important responsibilities or merely perform the sacred duties of the local hall.
From this, it can be confirmed that in the process of cultivating righteous spirit mediums, many training processes and restrictions are necessarily reduced. In the training process of spirit conduits, spirit communicators, or spirit mediums, there is no need to go through the complex processes of the former three; only how to receive and respond to the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas is necessary.
The application scope of spirit communicators is whether they can have a frequency of contact with the Immortals and Buddhas. Their experience and knowledge are inherent and manifested in the world, and they must clearly understand this. Spirit mediums, spirit communicators, and spirit conduits are all guided by this method, and in the function of descending to the world and teaching, how is the training of spiritual power carried out?
Some must go through the training process to reach the stage of receiving and responding to the frequency of the Immortals and Buddhas. Integrating and clearly understanding one's knowledge and experience is important for one's innate endowment. In the training of spirit conduits, spirit communicators, or spirit mediums, the leading process must conform to a faster training process.
Through the training process, the spirit medium must understand that they are the spokesperson for the Immortals and Buddhas, and how to achieve the same function as the Immortals and Buddhas when they borrow the medium's body. In the process of their own training, they can cultivate the compassionate virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas, and this condition serves as the basis for the accumulation of future merits and positions.
When the Immortals and Buddhas descend to convey, the spiritual power they convey is either directly or indirectly manifested in the world, which is verified by the Immortals and Buddhas at different levels. All sentient spirit mediums can communicate with the spiritual orifices of the Immortals and Buddhas, and it is necessary for them to directly manifest the actions prompted by the Immortals and Buddhas.
In the human world of the present era, if the actions of the Immortals and Buddhas descending to the world are fully applied, sometimes they do not align with the survival methods of the human world. All actions in the human world cannot be separated from the actions of sustaining life. If they are to fully conform to the Immortals and Buddhas descending to the world, what would be the result?
It is necessary to consider both the practical aspects of human affairs and the actualities of human life. Otherwise, if one detaches from existence and focuses solely on the perspective of immortals and Buddhas, the process of nourishing sentient beings will lack substance. The Great Way is intimately connected with human survival, and cultivation must not deviate from this reality.
The training of the righteous spirit medium is guided by karmic connections, and the submission of petitions by the righteous spirit is responded to by the Heavenly Deity.
The training of the celestial pen is even more rigorous, and the communication between the righteous medium and the spirits should be mutually intimate.
The duration of training is not fixed and is adapted to the causes and conditions of the moment.
Whether one achieves success is hidden in one's innate nature, and the propagation across the four seas is universally resonant.
This verse serves as a model for the future cultivation of sentient beings. One should understand how to act and how to perform the cultivation process with certainty. If one merely approaches cultivation while distancing oneself from the necessity of nourishing life, it is highly undesirable. Therefore, many people are tested in this way, resulting in their being thrown off balance, but what can be done?

Chapter Thirty-Three: Self-Righteousness
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Vice Sage Master Meng (Mencius)
The veneration of the heart Dharma assembly gradually concludes, and auspiciousness and fulfillment naturally become intimate.
The arrival of good fortune depends on one's own actions, and the training of the righteous spirit medium serves as a guide for propagation.
Today, the Venerable Xu Kong, the Righteous Chairperson, has descended to write the process of 'The Great Way Heart Dharma • Fourteenth Session: Spirit Medium Training.' It is necessary to make the training process more rigorous and strict, and to have a richer accumulation of karmic connections and resources. Otherwise, if the training is too simple, it will be difficult to achieve the highest level in the role of proclaiming the teachings on behalf of heaven.
Whether one is capable of fulfilling one's role depends on a significant transcendence and elevation. It is necessary to have a great vow and to exert great effort in one's own cultivation. By working hard and relying on the correct faith and ideological concepts, one can certainly create a spokesperson for the highest-level holy immortals and Buddhas. This is a very rare and precious karmic connection, and it is essential.
Having endured the utmost cold, one can attain knowledge and apply reason.
Cultivating the foundation through training shapes the future, achieving abundance and boundless care.

May 11, 2001 - The 19 Day of the Fourth Lunar Month (Friday)
Chapter Thirty-Four: Errors and Misconceptions Are Hard to Correct
◆ Prefaces ◆
##Void Golden Brush, Wisdom-Opening Celestial Emperor
Consistently crossing the Southern Screen leads to transcendence, where the Dao nourishes life and the principle of inherent awareness.
Ancient Buddhas rescue and teach, the spiritual power touches and clarifies the subtle secrets.
Spiritual medium training: One can understand the proper actions of a spiritual medium only after undergoing cultivation and training. Moreover, one must fully connect with the spiritual power of Immortals and Buddhas to take the lead; otherwise, in the human world, the actions of saving and transforming the world often remain hindered and unable to elevate or transcend. Can one harmonize with the frequency of Immortals and Buddhas? It is extremely difficult!
Furthermore, through the actions of spiritual power contact, Immortals and Buddhas can mutually harmonize with the spiritual medium in three ways: mind, body, and intention. This is to dissolve the delusions of sentient beings, and moreover, to elevate and transcend through the actions of alleviating suffering. One must observe whether the spiritual power contact is mutually harmonized to make a decision, which is the leading nature of spiritual power contact.
Spiritual power contact: It is through the training process that an originally ignorant person, and even one who cannot understand the virtues of the heavenly and earthly spirits, is given the necessary resources during the contact process. One must also understand the training process of the spiritual medium, whether it is solely through mental and conscious effort. It is through the function of one's eight consciousnesses that one elevates and allows Immortals and Buddhas to harmonize with the mind, body, and intention.
One must understand the stages and levels of spiritual power. In the world of sentient beings, the spiritual medium uses their own mental and conscious effort to harmonize with Immortals and Buddhas, and can also mutually resonate with them. This requires passing through one's own accumulated knowledge and clearly invoking the true meaning of heaven and earth, enabling oneself to become a spokesperson for the Heavens.
One can then act to 'embody the will of heaven and proclaim its teachings,' allowing the myriad sentient beings to seek the resolution of calamities from Immortals and Buddhas when they encounter difficulties and obstacles. Thus, not only can the process of education and proclamation be carried out, but also, all holy Immortals and Buddhas can mutually provide the resources for transformation through the spiritual medium, and even educate the myriad living beings.
If one cannot achieve such a thorough understanding of spiritual power, it will be very difficult to provide educational resources for transformation. One will inevitably resort to seeking the resolution of difficulties from Immortals and Buddhas each time they arise. This is undoubtedly a process of educational confusion, preventing one from realizing the compassionate virtues of Immortals and Buddhas, which is precisely the method currently adopted by the halls dedicated to saving the world.
In the process of 'spiritual contact,' it is essential to distinguish various levels, especially as each contact point is difficult to be the same. The knowledge and wisdom that a spirit medium can attain are differentiated through the process of spiritual contact, which is fundamentally a means of hierarchical instruction. Thus, it is the process of mutual contact with the frequencies of the Immortals and Buddhas.
Moreover, the spiritual contact of a spirit medium can be elevated, transcended, or returned. Therefore, it should not merely be about saving the world for the sake of saving the world, seeking merit to accumulate merit, or performing rituals for the sake of performing rituals. If the spiritual power of a spirit medium cannot be elevated to a higher level, or if it is hindered by the spiritual power of the Holy Immortals and Buddhas, it becomes difficult to engage in two-way communication.
If it is limited to lower-level instruction and saving the world, there are too many such conditions. Therefore, there are many levels of spiritual power, and a true spirit medium must be able to uncover treasures, elevate, and transcend when the Immortals and Buddhas descend. There are also educational and cultural programs to help elevate the depth of knowledge.
In the process of spiritual contact, it is necessary to clearly manifest one's mind nature, spiritual nature, true nature, and Buddha nature, without any flaws. By elevating the fundamental quality of spiritual power, transcendence becomes possible. Thus, the process of spiritual contact becomes the point of divergence for the spirit medium's ascent and transcendence or descent and decline.
In the process of spiritual contact, distinctions are made due to the differences in levels and realms. Sometimes, the question arises as to what level and what educational and instructional causes and conditions are brought about by one's spiritual power. Through the differences in levels of spiritual power, one's depth of knowledge can resonate with the Immortals and Buddhas.
Moreover, sometimes the Immortals and Buddhas themselves actively manifest, and other times they allow the spirit medium to do so. Depending on the differences in various levels and realms, the effects are observed. Each level and realm is distinct, and there are many ways in which they can be manifested. The most important function is how the process of contact between the Immortals and Buddhas and the spirit medium operates.
It is possible to transcend the manifestation of the mind nature, spiritual nature, Buddha nature, and true nature of sentient beings. Some only resolve the difficulties they encounter, while others directly understand the fundamental nature of existence and remove the obstacles they face. Furthermore, some can understand and resolve obstacles, enabling sentient beings to participate in various groups and organizations.
In the process of spiritual and mental contact, whether there is a response and whether there is true realization are essential for the accumulation of resources for the spirit medium's transformation. During the training process of the spirit medium, it is necessary to ensure that the Immortals and Buddhas can act with peace of mind, without deviating from the fairness of the law of cause and effect. The manifestation of the spirit medium's transformation in the process of contact must be accurate.
Spiritual contact relies on training; the spirit medium and the Immortals and Buddhas mutually resonate.
Through the grace and compassion of virtue, suffering is alleviated; the response is drawn from deep practice.
According to different levels, teachings are imparted; by elevating one's realm, one ascends to the rank of a transcendent being.
Karmic causes and effects must be clearly understood; the law of cause and effect is impartial.
This verse! It is for the mutual encouragement of all sentient beings; in the process of contacting spiritual power, there are various levels and realms. In the process of alleviating suffering and saving the world, one should understand how to elevate and how to transcend. One should not merely cling to感应 (induction), for that is only a temporary flourishing, and after it passes, transcendence becomes difficult.
Despite repeatedly beseeching the Immortals and Buddhas for assistance, one continues to create karma, neither repenting nor making adjustments. This action undoubtedly turns the Immortals and Buddhas' compassionate salvation into mere salvation for the sake of salvation, making it very difficult to achieve genuine educational merit, and even more difficult to elevate and transcend. It is indeed a very difficult, sad, and helpless situation.

May 15, 2001 - The 23 Day of the Fourth Lunar Month (Tuesday)
Chapter Thirty-Five: Embodied Realization and Demonstration
◆ Prefaces ◆
The Southern Celestial Emperor of Literature descends to expound the heart methods of the Great Dao.
While initiating the promotion of Confucian teachings and guiding the holy doctrine, spiritual powers and divine abilities are difficult to sustain.
In the process of contacting and cultivating spiritual power, understanding the training of the spirit planchette is precisely the process of mutual spiritual connection with the仙仏聖神 (Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Beings, and Deities). In the contact of mind and spirit, many manifestations will appear, allowing one to experience the virtues of heaven and earth. For a spiritually attuned person, the process of mutual contact with the仙仏聖神 (Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Beings, and Deities) becomes more clear.
It is possible to open up spiritual powers and divine abilities, and it is also possible to manifest them in the process of training and cultivation. Moreover! For all spiritually attuned beings, it is necessary to truly experience the virtues of the Supreme Heaven and apply the virtues of the Immortals and Buddhas to achieve both oneself and all sentient beings. This must be done based on the true principles and truths.
Spiritual powers and divine abilities: To alleviate the suffering of sentient beings, one must act truthfully, not merely clinging to their salvation and transformation. One should practice the true principles and truths of education and culture. For sentient beings, such actions are not to be taken lightly, and they will surely encounter difficulties or obstacles, leading them to continuously seek the resolution of the Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Beings, and Bodhisattvas.
In the present twenty-first century, if the transformation and evolution of mind and spirit are not advocated, the process of sentient beings encountering difficulties or calamities each time will result in them only seeking the salvation of the Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Beings, and Deities, and most temples and halls will end up merely performing the actions of salvation for sentient beings.
Without doubt regarding the mind-nature of sentient beings, it is difficult to truly elevate and construct spirituality. In the process of contacting supernatural powers, if one cannot truly elevate sentient beings, and moreover! if one cannot clearly understand the origins and developments of matters, this will cause considerable harm to sentient beings.
In each cycle of rebirth, one must seek help by bowing to immortals, Buddhas, or deities, yet it is difficult to transform. Thus! it will flow into the transformation and salvation of sentient beings, merely providing the actions of transformation and salvation. For the spirit medium and the immortals and Buddhas, this remains at a low level, offering no help to the mind-nature or spirituality.
Supernatural powers are divided into five types: Heavenly Eye (天眼), Heavenly Ear (天耳), Mind Reading (他心), Supernatural Travel (神足), and Past Life Knowledge (宿命). However, it is difficult to enter the state of the Sixth Supernatural Power (漏尽通). In the realm of the five supernatural powers, one can achieve enlightenment and obtain the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Supernatural Travel, Past Life Knowledge, and Mind Reading through the process of receiving the spirit guided by holy immortals, Buddhas, and deities.
If one undergoes the training process, the five supernatural powers can also be activated. This can be due to innate potential or the achievement of a state of supernatural power, allowing one to connect spiritually with immortals and Buddhas. The spirit medium, in the process of contacting supernatural powers, serves as a bridge for communication between oneself and the immortals and Buddhas.
Thus, what can be given is, through the training process, the activation of the five supernatural powers in the process of receiving the spirit from immortals and Buddhas, promoting mutual contact of the supernatural powers and opening the clarity and understanding of the Heavenly Ear, Heavenly Eye, Mind Reading, Supernatural Travel, and Past Life Knowledge. The spirit medium can truly possess the contact of these five supernatural powers.
Furthermore, through the training of the spirit medium, one can fully possess the five supernatural powers. How should they be applied? In the process of contacting the supernatural powers, and moreover! by connecting with the five supernatural powers through the process of receiving the spirit from immortals and Buddhas, one can have the ability to transform sentient beings. This involves a thorough understanding of the five supernatural powers and elevates oneself to a higher state.
In the process of promoting the five supernatural powers, one must understand the contact of spiritual power during the training of the spirit medium. Through the guidance and contact of the spiritual light by holy immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas, one can possess the five supernatural powers. This is achieved through the mutual interaction between humans and deities, and it allows one to understand the elevation of the realm of the five supernatural powers.
To grant the spirit medium the ability, in the needs and supplications of sentient beings, how should it be applied? Not only does the process of contacting the five supernatural powers provide actions to alleviate suffering, but also! when observing the creditors and debtors of another party, the spirit medium can serve as a bridge for communication and guidance, making it possible to resolve grievances.
To truly reach a state of perfection and harmonize the creditors and debtors, one must understand the truth of heaven and earth. One should not be overly attached to the salvation and protection of just one side, as this will lead to limitations and prevent the attainment of perfection. In the process of resolving grievances, it is necessary to understand the fairness of the laws of heaven and earth.
How can one further perfect, transcend, and truly grow in the true meaning of heaven and earth? It is necessary to go through the process of transformation and salvation by immortals, Buddhas, and deities. This will provide perfection for oneself and the three aspects, and it will be achieved through harmonization. Thus! in the process of mediation between oneself, creditors and debtors, and immortals and Buddhas, one can better align with the fairness of the law of cause and effect.
Otherwise! Focusing solely on one party's salvation and neglecting the other's perfection often leads to the situation where 'the mediator becomes the disputant.' This is undoubtedly a rather cruel fact, especially for the main deities of temples and shrines, and it is commonly seen in the present age, leaving people helpless! Why does this happen?
Frequently, it is only for the sake of divine power and spiritual abilities that the aggrieved spirits and debtors of the other party are attacked, leading to feelings of powerlessness and intimidation. Moreover, due to the divine power of the temples and shrines involved in mediation, many people often find it difficult to accept and are forced to reluctantly comply.
It is precisely through the contact of spiritual power that the five spiritual abilities and full spiritual manifestation can be realized in the present world. However, when the five spiritual abilities are not used, they can be replaced by a clear understanding of the true meaning of the evolution of the universe, emptiness, the infinite, and heaven and earth, thereby elevating the human world and allowing the embodiment of the virtues of the Holy Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, as well as the manifestation of spiritual inspiration.
Possessing the five spiritual abilities while not using them requires the enhancement of great wisdom, great virtue, great compassion, and great aspiration. Therefore, if one can possess the five spiritual abilities and not use them, the training process of the spirit medium can be more authentic, promoting the manifestation of the mental and spiritual qualities of sentient beings, 'lighting the lamp of the heart' to illuminate, and even radiate boundless light.
In the process of training and cultivating a spirit medium, to thoroughly possess the spiritual power of the five spiritual abilities, it is necessary to understand the truth and operation of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, the infinite, emptiness, and the universe. This enables authentic elevation as a superior practitioner, and through contact with and the training process guided by Immortals, Buddhas, and deities, one can achieve success.
In the process of thoroughly possessing spiritual power, one will inevitably come into contact with the spiritual power of the five spiritual abilities and be able to provide abundant resources for the transformation and elevation of all beings in heaven and earth. This is not limited to mere salvation but forms a situation where human beings are less likely to be misled by the manifestations of Immortals, Buddhas, and deities, and thus are less likely to repeat the next salvation.
Spiritual Power and the Five Divine Realms of Spiritual Abilities　　Cultivate True Heart through Training
Thorough Understanding of Causes and Conditions Depends on Oneself　　The Virtues of Immortals and Buddhas Interact
The Realm of Spiritual Power Depends on Cultivation　　Salvation and Transformation of Sentient Beings in the Human World
Mutual Interaction of Causes and Effects　　The Principle of Fairness Naturally Follows
This verse! By engaging in the process of leading and touching the supernatural powers and spiritual abilities of sentient beings, one can understand the construction of these powers, which greatly aids in revealing the 'mind nature and spiritual nature' of sentient beings. It also makes clear that repeated salvation and reform are not to be used for long periods, as they can create dependency; it is necessary to promote education and cultural growth.

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Great Way and the Mind Method
◆ Prefaces ◆
The Sublime Sage spreads the principles of Confucianism; Master Meng arrives with virtue and is universally revered.
The Great Way's mind dharma crosses the barriers of delusion; the Heavenly Eye's supernatural power comes to meet it.
The exercise of the Five Supernatural Powers promotes the spiritual and supernatural abilities in the human survival process. Can one's spiritual power be elevated? One must understand the promotion of the Five Supernatural Powers through the process of training and cultivation, and through the advocacy of these powers and the mutual verification of mind nature and spiritual nature, one can come into contact with one's own spiritual power.
Why is the process of training and cultivation necessary? It is because through training and cultivation, one can attain a deeper spiritual power, which promotes the transcendence of 'mind nature and spiritual nature' in humans. By understanding one's own growth process, one can know whether it can be fully realized through training, and thus act in the realms of mind and form.
Is one's own growth rich? Does one truly possess the necessary resources? Therefore, the Heavenly Eye's supernatural power distinguishes between the physical eye, the Heavenly Eye, the Wisdom Eye, the Dharma Eye, and the Buddha Eye, categorizing the different levels of supernatural power that various sentient beings can attain. In the human world, the physical eye can observe all phenomena in the realm of form.
To lead one's own growth, one must pass through the realm of mind dharma, and through the physical eye, one can achieve the observation of form. It is certain that this leads the function of mind dharma and form in all sentient beings within the 'realm of mind dharma and realm of form,' serving as the basis for existence. Moreover, the physical eye is possessed by every sentient being and can be acquired and fully realized from birth to old age.
Through the physical eye, one can observe everything, targeting the actions and application range of sentient beings. By focusing the physical eye, one can promote the mind nature and spiritual nature of sentient beings. Observing all phenomena in the human world through the physical eye, one can transmit and achieve the realm of mind dharma, which also enters the promotion of the brain's central nervous system.
In the human world, the supernatural power of the physical eye is already fully realized. This is because everyone already possesses it, so it is not rare. If only one or two people possessed it, that would be truly rare. Through the process of purification and training, one can fully realize and open the Heavenly Eye, thereby promoting a certain level of supernatural power.
I ask: If a sentient being possesses only the physical eye, would they feel it is rare? No! Because everyone possesses it, it is not rare. Opening the Heavenly Eye is also not particularly rare, for through the supernatural power of the Heavenly Eye, one often sees phenomena that the physical eye cannot perceive, including all the deluded forms.
Although what is seen is a form of color, in truth! it is a manifestation of spiritual power. Moreover, those who can open the Heavenly Eye are exceedingly rare, and it is difficult for human beings to possess the necessary conditions. Thus! in the process of the sentient beings' confusion, only a few can open the Heavenly Eye and attain the power of divine vision.
When observing the world of all spiritual beings, those who can fully attain the power of the Heavenly Eye can see forms that are difficult for the physical eye to perceive. Although they possess the power of the Heavenly Eye, there are many levels within this realm. Therefore! the Heavenly Eye can see many aspects of the human world that are invisible to the physical eye.
Especially among the Immortals, Buddhas, Deities, and spiritual beings, there are many levels. Within the realm of the Heavenly Eye, some can see everything clearly, while others can only see a little. Moreover, because the physical eye can see, what the Heavenly Eye can see is at a slightly higher level than the physical eye, due to its rarity and completeness.
Therefore: the reason why rarity is valued lies in this. Humans aspire to the divine vision of the Heavenly Eye, which is a realm of spiritual power. For the Immortals, Buddhas, Deities, and spiritual beings, what they perceive through the third dimension is a manifestation of spiritual power. Because they can observe the same things as humans, is rarity valued? Not necessarily!
Can the Immortals, Buddhas, Deities, and spiritual beings all fully attain the realm of the Heavenly Eye? When humans possess and attain it, they often develop pride and look down on other beings. Is one necessarily a great sage because of their spiritual power and divine vision? Not necessarily! Although they can perceive, how do things stand in the realm of the Heavenly Eye?
In the human world, one should not see what they should not see, yet they often see such things. Does this increase one's own troubles? As soon as the eyes open, they see what they should not see, which provides no help to one's 'mind and spirit.' Is it not related to the lack of a solid foundation? Growing from the present moment upwards is the true path.
In the realm of the Heavenly Eye, when humans fully attain it, they often develop a sense of pride in their abilities, believing themselves to be extraordinary. However, they are unable to understand their own mind and spirit. How should one act with the spiritual power of the Heavenly Eye? And how should one elevate their mind and actions?
One will not merely attain the realm of the Heavenly Eye; on the contrary! it will lead one to commit many evil deeds and increase many opportunities for creating karma. This is due to one's own ignorance, which obstructs the mind and spirit of sentient beings. Even when one has attained the realm of spiritual power, they may compare themselves to the realms of Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Deities, and Bodhisattvas.
Little do they know that virtue and wisdom are precisely what should correspond to such times, testing one's mindset. If one can maintain an ordinary heart and not show off, and even more so, not exaggerate their spiritual power, they will be able to elevate their virtue and wisdom through application. Because they do not show off or exaggerate, they will surely pass the test of their mindset.
One will then possess the 'Heavenly Eye's divine vision,' which promotes such attitudes in the mind: exaltation and pride, and a condescending view of all sentient beings. Believing one's spiritual power and divine vision to be exceedingly superior and remarkable undoubtedly obstructs one's karmic hindrances, increasing many opportunities for trouble. How should one resolve this? It is through practice!
Regardless of whether it is the divine eye, divine ear, mind-reading, supernatural travel, or past-life recall, when one possesses these abilities, one should maintain an ordinary mind, neither showing off nor exaggerating. One should pass each stage of the examination, and subsequently, the five kinds of supernatural powers will be achieved. It is essential to elevate one's moral character and wisdom, for this is the true nature.
The divine eye depends on cultivation; without a stable foundation, it is difficult to clearly perceive.
Moral character and wisdom should be superior; when possessed, they enable one to skillfully utilize them.
The realm of the five supernatural powers is the same in all cases; boasting of one's own superiority is also included.
The karmic obstacles of the examination will surely arrive, and one must polish the mind and nature to overcome difficulties.
This verse! I encourage all sentient beings to reflect upon it. When one possesses each of the five supernatural powers, it is inevitable that many stages of the examination and trials will accompany them. How can one pass through them? It is necessary to apply moral character and wisdom to achieve genuine results. This is also true in the human world. How should one act? And how should one transform?

The promotion of the True Buddha Mind School begins with a careful examination of the procedures of taking refuge.
Proceed step by step with solid effort, guiding sentient beings to the voyage of taking refuge.
Today, the Second Sage of Confucianism, Mencius, has descended to write the Seventeenth Chapter of the Heart Dharma—Divine Eye. When one possesses the divine eye, it is necessary to understand: do not boast, and do not hold the attitude that it is unattainably high. If one does so, it will certainly provide opportunities to increase one's trials and karmic obstacles. This is the cause and condition for ascending.

第十八回　 天眼神通（二）
##Void Virtue and Fortune, Righteous God Bright King
Nanping infinitely ferries all spirits, and Daoji and Zhuanli are both clear.
The ancient Buddha descends to impart the Dharma of the mind; the causes of the divine eye's supernatural powers are recounted once more.
The five kinds of supernatural vision—flesh eye, divine eye, wisdom eye, Dharma eye, and Buddha eye—must be understood as inherent qualities in human beings. However, due to sentient beings being submerged in the impure world of the five turbidities, their spiritual nature becomes unclear, leading to numerous obstacles. As a result, they are unable to fully develop the five kinds of supernatural vision and cannot manifest these powers.
If one observes with the ordinary flesh eye, it is relatively easy to perceive the material aspects of the sentient world. However, to open the divine eye's supernatural vision, one must achieve this through cultivation and learning. Therefore, the higher the level of cultivation, the more advanced the divine eye's supernatural vision will be.
What is observed with the flesh eye and the divine eye is what humans are capable of. The wisdom eye, on the other hand, clearly perceives the direction of human survival and thoroughly understands the 'form and color' of all sentient beings. Through the process of learning, one can activate the supernatural power of the divine eye.
In the human world, if one can obtain the flesh eye, it is an inherent ability of ordinary beings. To understand the origins and development of the divine eye, one must achieve this through cultivation and elevation. With the wisdom eye, one can thoroughly comprehend various worldly affairs, which will have richer causal conditions compared to the divine eye.
One can recognize heroes with the wisdom eye. Through cultivation, one can transform and elevate the abilities of the human, divine, and wisdom eyes. With the wisdom eye fully developed, one can perceive the current situation, past causes and conditions, and future karmic retribution from the human form, all of which can be observed with the wisdom eye, thus fulfilling the conditions for this supernatural power.
To clearly perceive the forms and appearances of heaven, earth, humans, and deities, one must thoroughly understand all actions and deeds. How can one realize this? It can be clearly perceived in the wisdom eye, which can also determine the predictions of the past, present, and future. The wisdom eye's perception of all matters is based on the 'inherent mind-form method' to thoroughly understand human beings.
Dharma eye: It can realize and understand all matters of heaven and earth. This complete condition is based on the clarity of the true meaning of heaven and earth. It can realize various forms of the sentient world and distinguish their functions and correct roles. It must also realize the actions of the countless beings in the Dharma realm, which are applied in the present moment of survival.
The countless sentient beings of heaven and earth can realize the state of mind in survival. How should they act and behave? This is the causal condition that the Dharma eye can achieve. Moreover, the survival process of all beings in the Dharma realm exists in the present moment of survival, which can be realized and understood through the nature of sentient beings, allowing them to integrate and practice within their state of mind.
Dharma eye: It observes the functions and effects of all sentient species. Moreover, within the Dharma eye, one can clearly perceive and realize these. Furthermore, it can enter the Buddha eye's observation of the countless species in the three thousand great worlds, thus realizing the forms of heaven and earth, the infinite, the void, and the great universe, which shape the survival directions of all beings.
The Buddha Eye is also the Dao Eye: If one wishes to be fully endowed, it is through the Wisdom Eye that one passes through the Dharma Eye to elevate oneself, and through the process of one's own realization, one comes to understand the correct unfolding of heaven, earth, the infinite, the void, and the great universe; thereby one can know all species in the great thousand worlds: their past, present, and future, and how they will act!
The Buddha Eye: It is the principal cause and condition of the Dao Eye, which must enable one to have a clear grasp of all matters in the human world, past, present, and future, and to understand clearly how realization and functional actions manifest. One can observe the process by which causes and conditions form, and thereby practice accordingly.
How the causes and conditions promote, and how the process of reaping the results unfolds, are what elevate the full endowment of the Buddha Eye. Through one's original causal nature, one can achieve such functions; therefore, the application of the 'Wisdom Eye, Dharma Eye, Buddha Eye' is relatively difficult to fully realize in the human world.
In the present era, it is already quite difficult to fully possess the supernatural power of the Heavenly Eye. If one can fully possess the Wisdom Eye, it is achieved through human cultivation, which is precisely a highly acute power of observation and insight. The full possession of the Wisdom Eye not only elevates human cultivation but also allows one to open the Wisdom Eye, and some can transcend the Heavenly Eye to directly attain the full possession of the Wisdom Eye.
In the ancient history of the Central Land, there were already many famous individuals who could transcend the Heavenly Eye and directly attain the Wisdom Eye; during the Three Kingdoms era, many renowned scholars possessed this Wisdom Eye. In the present era, those who can possess such qualities include the Master of the Chongxin School, who can intuitively observe sentient beings through the 'Wisdom Eye.'
How can all actions be clearly understood? Without words, by observing their form, one can thoroughly understand them. This is precisely what surpasses the supernatural power of the Heavenly Eye, and within the supernatural power of the Heavenly Eye, it is necessary to pass through cultivation to achieve it. By fully possessing the Wisdom Eye, one can realize all species and enter into the Dharma Eye.
The Dharma Eye: It is the realization of the process by which all beings survive. The true principles of the teachings of Chongxin have already met these conditions, and many students have a foundation to clearly understand: the unfolding process of heaven, earth, the infinite, the void, and the great universe, thoroughly knowing the true meaning of heaven and earth, and using this for future transcendence and return to the fundamental causal nature.
The Wisdom Eye must be clear, The Dharma Eye is the basis for all beings in heaven and earth.
The Buddha Eye thoroughly understands the great universe, It is the mechanism of the three eyes' supernatural powers and the five eyes.
The process of realization must clarify the truth, In the true heaven and earth, there is a bond of sentient beings.
From the causes and roots, the future fruit is manifest; the five divine eyes reveal their wondrous power.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement for all sentient beings. In the process of applying it to heaven and earth, how should one understand the true meaning of heaven and earth? This is a fundamental requirement for all those in the human world who practice religion and seek to elevate themselves, so that they do not merely cling to survival and detach from higher levels of elevation. Otherwise, they will forever remain in the cycle of rebirth.

第十八回　 天眼神通（二）
##Supreme Ancestor of the Dao　Moral Heaven Venerable
The Venerable Dragon Soaring in the Void arrives; the divine eye's power transforms sentient beings.
The Wisdom Eye, the Dharma Eye, and the Buddha Eye are renewed; to realize the truth is to transcend and overflow.
Today, the Ancient Buddha Nán Píng Dào Jì descends to write the mind method of the divine eye. In this process, how should one realize the true meaning of heaven and earth? It is necessary to understand and clarify all manifestations through the processes of heaven and earth, the Infinite, the Void, and the great cosmic evolution, which is precisely a function of the Great Dao's evolution.
One must not merely cling to human survival and detach from the elevation of mind and spirit. If one cannot transcend to a higher level, one will forever remain bound by the cycle of rebirth in the human world. What can be done? Therefore, it is necessary to truly understand the functions of the five divine eyes and return to their authentic power.
##Void Principle Virtue Immortal Lady, Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
In the prosperous era of Wén Chāng, the principles of heaven are proclaimed; in Zǐ Tóng, the teachings enlighten the masses to the true meaning.
The Imperial Lord descends to the Hall of Reverent Heart; the divine ear's power is the foundation.
The five divine powers in the human world must be achieved through one's own cultivation. Moreover, in the previous life, one must have possessed the necessary conditions to open the divine eye or divine ear in this life through cultivation. Obtaining these powers through practice is relatively easier, and the divine ear's power is precisely facilitated by the ear's ability to perceive.
It is necessary to have the cooperation of deities from another space, seamlessly coordinating with the deities to achieve this. This is a different level of attainment compared to the divine eye's power. Since the divine eye has a single function, the divine ear requires the coordination of at least two functions.
The Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power, which is relatively easy for practitioners to attain, is achieved through the cultivation of a superior mind and spirit. By being granted the ability to hear sounds, one can understand what kind of auditory power facilitates this. Moreover, to possess this spiritual power, it is essential to elevate one's own mind and spirit, which is the right path.
The power to hear celestial voices from the external world or the third space facilitates another kind of contact. This can be attained in this life due to cultivation in a previous life. When the Heavenly Ear Spiritual Power is achieved, one can collaborate with intangible divine spirits. Additionally, one can directly obtain the spiritual power from another dimension.
The divine power of ear communication plays a leading role. Those who have attained the Heavenly Ear Spiritual Power do so because their cultivation in a previous life was relatively acute, allowing them to possess this power in this life. It is necessary to understand how to apply and guide it, as this ability is rare among ordinary people.
The Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power requires a process of mutual response. It can be achieved through the karmic connection with another divine spirit from a past life or through the mutual interaction and training provided by the deities of a particular hall. Therefore, in the realm of spiritual ear communication, both parties must cooperate seamlessly to transmit spiritual information.
The promotion of ear spiritual power requires the cooperation of both parties, allowing for direct communication and reception. If the frequency of human spiritual power in the world of sentient beings does not align, it is like a radio with a different frequency, leading to chaotic sound and incomplete transmission of information.
In this kind of Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power, it is crucial to understand the cooperation and communication with divine spirits. One must have a clear and pure mind and a sharp spiritual power, without any obstruction that prevents thorough communication. This is what a spiritual communicator should understand.
The Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power may have karmic connections from a previous life and can also be achieved through the training provided by the deities of a palace, hall, temple, or shrine. Whether the information received by this spiritual communicator is correct or not is determined by the spiritual power and the mutual resonance, as well as the resonance of the heart.
Furthermore, there may be specific codes or different actions to distinguish whether it is used to convey messages from the principal deity or other deities. It is necessary to understand the overall information under these conditions. In the realm of Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power, the spiritual power must be fully possessed to serve as the foundation for future achievements.
In the vast celestial realm of the universe, all information exists and can be received through the 'Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power.' Due to many frequencies, there can be mutual reception and interference. Therefore, in the process of the Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power, it is important how codes, the resonance between deities and spiritual communicators, and other reception actions function.
If they do not function, it becomes difficult to verify who is transmitting the Heavenly Ear information. In the realm of Heavenly Ear Wisdom and Spiritual Power, it is necessary to discard all unnecessary and complex information, and one can clearly understand within the scope of what should be known. Moreover, the information transmitted by the Heavenly Ear is within the range that the spiritual communicator can receive, but why some cannot improve is a matter that needs to be understood.
Some are situated at the stage of neither high nor low, and some directly receive the cosmic information of heaven and earth. The transmission through the divine ear is received through auditory channels, and at times, various ringing sounds in the ear can occur, similar to very subtle speaking voices being conveyed, much like telephone transmission in the present age.
Those who are truly spiritually advanced must rely on external forces for their accomplishments, and it is inevitable that there will be various deviations and deficiencies. Whether one can realize it or not, whether it is correct, distorted, true, or false, all will be distinguished by the achievement of this kind of spiritual power, and there are many messages that are difficult to verify in the realm of the divine ear's spiritual power.
If one cannot achieve direct reception, and even more so, if one cannot achieve direct penetration, this is a spiritual power that is less desirable for the receiver of spiritual messages. Moreover, for this kind of spiritual power to be fully endowed, it is necessary to grow into a deeper and more profound spiritual power. Otherwise, different levels of beings will receive differently, and it will be difficult for true teachings to flourish.
Receiving through the divine ear's spiritual power, incorrect information is even more difficult to disseminate.
The levels of cultivation differ, and the growth of spiritual power is difficult for all.
The wisdom of ear penetration verifies the heavenly secrets, and the spiritual bond is formed through past-life cultivation.
When both are combined, it becomes even more skillful, and the spiritual information is free from error and is well managed.
This verse! Encourages all sentient beings. In the process of receiving the spiritual power of the divine ear's wisdom, how should one advance to a deeper level? In the process of mutual reception, the level of the sentient being who communicates with spirits should guide, leading to a more profound and unobstructed realization, and a higher level of teaching advancement. This is the correct path.
##Earth Official of the Middle Yuan, Great Emperor of Earth
Blessed beings all rejoice, and the righteous spirits of the blue sky even more so in their worship.
The Myō-Ō attained divinity through self-cultivation, and the truth of the levels of enlightenment endures for myriad ages.
Today, the Wenchang Zitong Emperor has descended to elucidate the true nature of the Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power in the series of the Great Dao. Whether the received messages are due to clear causes, obstructions, or difficulties in cooperating with another deity from the spirit realm, it is because the spiritual power of the medium is insufficient, and also due to a lack of communication ability.
In the process of receiving spiritual messages, one should not rely solely on another deity from the spirit realm to transmit them. This is an unreliable practice, akin to 'relying on a mountain that collapses, or a person who falls,' and should not be adopted. Moreover, those who boast about possessing the power of the Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power will undoubtedly find it difficult to achieve true elevation and transcendence. One must not harbor such notions.
##Ancient Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
The Supreme Ancestor of the Dao descends with reverence, and the Heavenly Venerable of Morality upholds righteousness and propriety.
The Great Dao series spreads across the four seas, and the Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power recounts its causes.
From the perspective of the power of the Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power, the process of spirit communication through the use of a spirit planchette must be led by one's own mind and consciousness, entering into the 'spiritual communication realm' to facilitate the elevation of sentient spirits. This is a transcendence of one's own spiritual communication method, and during the process of the spiritual communication method, a certain spiritual power is engaged.
The medium must achieve mutual elevation of their spiritual power through the process of receiving and leading messages. By promoting the elevation of the spiritual communication method in the sentient world, a higher level of mind and spirit can be manifested, and the ability to ascend and transcend in the sentient world can be realized through a more sensitive spiritual power.
The power of the Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power, in the context of the Five Supernatural Powers, is merely the result of the spiritual power of ear clairvoyance. Whether one can achieve a higher level of reception or remain at a general level of reception can be clearly understood through spiritual power. Achieving a higher level of information elevation and mutual acceptance and communication can also promote one's own growth.
If the reception and absorption of spiritual power in the sentient world cannot be aligned with the virtues of the immortals and Buddhas through one's own mind and consciousness, it will certainly be difficult to achieve elevation. One becomes merely a storage device, lacking the virtues and wisdom of the holy deities and bodhisattvas, and relies solely on the spiritual power bestowed by the immortals and Buddhas, without knowing how to elevate one's own spiritual power.
Therefore, if the spiritual power of the Heavenly Ear Communication in the sentient world cannot be elevated, it will hinder the manifestation of the 'Heavenly Ear Wisdom Certification Power' and block the opportunity for one's own elevation. Moreover, it will be difficult to promote the ascent of mind and spirit in a way that manifests the compassion and virtues, wisdom and universal love of the immortals and Buddhas.
If there are many obstructions in mind and spirit, the process of spiritual power's thorough penetration becomes relatively difficult to experience, and it also becomes difficult to realize the virtues, wisdom, and compassion of the immortals and Buddhas. This is the reason why there are often many obstructions in the 'Heavenly Ear Wisdom Certification Power' for spirit planchette users and mediums, precisely because of this.
The Holy Immortals and Buddhas: They are the exemplars of ascent and transcendence. However, humans often refer to human survival methods and place themselves in such scenarios. If ordinary human methods are applied, it is difficult to achieve true elevation, and the process of integrating the mind and spirit of sentient beings is also less likely to manifest through spiritual communication.
The Celestial Ear Wisdom Proof: When sentient beings receive and are promoted by spiritual power, they can reach a deeper level of spiritual power. Necessarily, they can directly connect to the cosmos, emptiness, and the boundless, not just receiving messages from the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Therefore, for true practitioners of sentient beings who wish to transcend, it is difficult to achieve the effect of ascent.
The promotion of ear-penetrating spiritual power is precisely the point of integration between mind and spirit. In any process of receiving spiritual power, there will inevitably be many interferences and noises. This can cause disturbances and obstacles for spirit mediums and those who are spiritually attuned, and there is also a reception of messages between the Holy Immortals and Buddhas.
And in this process: some receive it through codes, some through actions, some through secret phrases, and some through all means that can mutually accept spiritual power. Without such actions, from the perspective of spirit mediums or those who are spiritually attuned, they can choose not to receive and transmit. This is because there are various codes, actions, or other means between the Immortals and Buddhas.
The growth through the reception of spiritual power should function in this manner. The process of all spiritual power, the 'Celestial Ear Wisdom Proof,' should also proceed in this way. For those with a transcendent mind, many spiritual qualities should be manifested, and this is further achieved through the transcendence of virtue. This is the true expression of the Celestial Ear Wisdom Proof, which should be performed without any hindrance.
The process of accepting spiritual messages from the cosmos, emptiness, and the boundless can only be possessed by those with a truly transcendent mind, not by ordinary spirit mediums. From the perspective of a spirit medium who understands the true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth, they can experience the transcendence of mind and spirit and achieve a direct spiritual connection with the cosmos, emptiness, and the boundless.
Moreover! They can manifest the supreme compassion of the Mahayana, which is truly and unobstructedly realized. In the world of sentient beings, the 'Celestial Ear Wisdom Proof' is possessed by many spirit mediums and those who are spiritually attuned in the mundane world, but those who have truly experienced it are few. This is determined by the authenticity of an individual's mind and wisdom.
The Celestial Ear Wisdom Proof spiritual nature possesses this extraordinary cause.
Training can lead to the covenant of Immortals and Buddhas, differing in levels according to the minds of sentient beings.
In the transcendent realms, layer by layer, the mind is unobstructed and the true nature is realized.
Understanding the principle of the cosmic void, return to the Infinite and ascend to the True Spirit.
This verse! It is to be shared and encouraged among all sentient beings, so that in the process of receiving the wisdom of the Heavenly Ear, there may be a transcendent elevation, and not merely a general reception of spiritual power. It is essential to understand the reality that this process can bring about a higher level of elevation and transcendence for those who possess spiritual mediumship and clairvoyance.
##Ancient Master of Clear Water
Observing the world's scenes, all are immersed in delusion; transmitting sounds to guide them to transcendence and rebirth.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet the virtuous assembly; those with a karmic connection cherish each other over a thousand miles.
Today, the Great Supreme Ancestor, the Daozhu of Morality and Heaven (太上道祖道德天尊), has descended to author the twentieth chapter of the Heart Dharma on Heavenly Ear Supernatural Power. In the process of receiving the spiritual power of sentient beings, He imparts the workings of the mind and spirituality, elevating and transcending the process of receiving mind and spirit. It is necessary to understand and apply the virtues of heaven and earth, the cosmos, the void, and the Infinite.
##Void Principle Virtue Immortal Lady, Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara
The Great Emperor of the Middle Earth, the Earthly Official (中元地官大帝), has descended; compassion, joy, and generosity are the essence of this chapter.
The Great Dao Heart Dharma opens the spiritual aperture; it asserts the power of Other-Mind Supernatural Power.
The attainment of the Five Supernatural Powers is facilitated by the five abilities: Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Other-Mind, Past-Life, and Divine Travel. When human practitioners aim to possess these five supernatural powers, it becomes relatively easier to achieve. It is necessary to fully cultivate mind and spirit, and by obtaining spiritual powers, one can perfect the realm of supernatural abilities.
The function of directing one's own spiritual power and psychic abilities should be promoted through the full possession of experience and latent potential. Granting through one's own abilities is a form of elevation, and in the fundamental causes for possessing the Five Supernatural Powers, one should more fully manifest the realm of supernatural abilities. Furthermore, one should select and provide the conditions for promoting mind and spirit.
Other-Mind Supernatural Power: It is the ability to understand the workings of another's mind and to thoroughly penetrate another's inner thoughts. By doing so, one can organize and arrange the thoughts within another's mind, making the mental consciousness clear and distinct. The realm of Other-Mind Supernatural Power is such that it can transmit from another's 'arising thoughts and intentions' to their 'mental consciousness and awareness.'
This process, dominated by mind, thought, and consciousness, involves the arising and movement of the mind and thoughts, and even before it is realized in action, it exists solely in the arising and movement of the mind and thoughts. It is essential that human beings, in their arising and movement of the mind and thoughts, conform to the transmission function of mind, thought, and consciousness, thereby enabling the future acquisition of what is prepared through the present growth, which is built upon past accumulations.
It must be related, and indeed! when it is a continuous action, it will place oneself within the function of all actions, thereby manifesting the present behavior. It is precisely through the actions of others that one can discern what kind of function or action it is, and this can be known through the power of 'Tāxīntōng' (他心神通), providing a thorough understanding and clarity of the issues.
He Xin Shen Tong (他心神通): It is the manifestation of the power of clear insight and spiritual ability, revealing how it functions within the mind, thoughts, and consciousness of others. Whether good or bad, right or wrong, it is all accomplished through the arising and movement of the mind and thoughts. There is a necessity for 'mind, thought, and consciousness' to lead, and how does the process of arising and moving the mind and thoughts unfold?
Indeed, it is through 'past experiences' that 'present actions' are accumulated, and 'future results' are repaid. Each action is accomplished through the law of cause and effect, and one discerns how the next action should be performed. Moreover, it involves achieving the integration that brings past experiences to fruition in the present through the elevation of 'mind, thought, and consciousness.'
The realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' (他心神通力): It can achieve the discernment of others' mind, thought, and consciousness, and the clear understanding of future retribution. Many realizations and clarifications are accomplished through the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li,' and this spiritual power can also be obtained through cultivation, thereby enabling one to know others' mind, thought, and consciousness through training.
The spiritual mediums, spirit channels, and celestial pens of sentient beings all possess these conditions, and the actions of immortals and Buddhas to alleviate suffering and save the world are performed, further manifesting the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' (他心神通力) to understand how the next action should be responded to in the process of a devout believer's entreaty, thereby alleviating suffering and resolving doubts.
And through the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' (他心神通力), one can understand and penetrate the deep-seated, inexpressible words and secrets hidden within the heart. Thus, the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' is fully manifested in the present, allowing the holy immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas to clearly discern the mental state of sentient beings, truly realize this environment, and perform actions to alleviate their suffering.
Many secrets exist, and when they are difficult to express, the holy immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas will invoke the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' (他心神通力) to understand. They will truly remove the difficulties of this kind of mental state and discern the nature of the entreaty, performing actions to alleviate suffering and save the world. This is a skillful means of 'saving the world and alleviating suffering.'
It is necessary to have the genuine resources for transformation and elevation, thereby fully manifesting the elevation of the mind and nature of sentient beings. If the actions to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings are merely modified, it will inevitably only resolve their problems and distress. Without any elevation of the mind and spirit of sentient beings, it is difficult to achieve a more perfect and transcendent realm.
When the realm of 'He Xin Shen Tong Li' (他心神通力) is fully possessed, actions to remove and resolve the difficulties of sentient beings are performed, but it is very difficult to elevate the mind and nature to a higher level. Moreover, after each ritual modification, can it truly help sentient beings? If it is only for saving the world and alleviating suffering, the mind and spirit of sentient beings will not grow to a higher-dimensional realm.
Thus it exists! It is merely the action of alleviating the suffering of sentient beings, limited to the benefit of saving the world through sacrificial reform, and therefore cannot truly implement educational and transformative courses. This is the fundamental issue with the current spirit mediums and psychics who frequently cite the actions of celestial Buddhas and deities, making it impossible to discuss the practicality of education and transformation, and it is indeed helpless!
Spirit mediums and celestial Buddhas mutually invoke, transforming sentient beings through the five supernatural powers.
Through the power of telepathy, the sacrificial reform transforms the form.
Clarify the truth and transform through education, each time reinforcing mutual understanding.
In the process, realize ignorance and guide sentient beings to transform their awakening.
This verse! It serves to mutually encourage sentient beings, and ensures that spirit mediums, psychics, righteous mediums, righteous writing, and celestial pens… all clearly understand the next action and apply it truthfully to the functions of education and transformation. This is the true response to all spokespersons of divine spirits and also a means to achieve transcendence!
##Narrator of the Sage, Master Zisi
Universal education awakens sentient beings; wise beings uphold the truth.
The seeds of enlightenment transform ordinary causes; at the time of the bodhisattva, the truth is clearly realized.
Today, the Great Emperor of the Earth's Mid-Yuan has descended to author “The Great Dao Heart Method: Chapter Twenty-One, Telepathic Power (Part One),” elucidating the mental nature of sentient beings and the methods of sacrificial reform, thereby clarifying the issues that lead to confusion. This will enable the spirit mediums in the world of sentient beings to advance to a higher level and truly grow in their educational and transformative courses.
This type of sentient being can all freely manifest their supernatural powers, alleviating the suffering of sentient beings. However, if they are limited to just a series of sacrificial reforms, it will always be a state of saving the world for the sake of saving the world, and only the actions of sacrificial reform will exist, which is indeed quite helpless!
Thus, it is impossible to facilitate the growth and education of sentient beings, as to how can the clarity and thorough understanding of the mind be further enhanced? Or, if it merely exists for the purpose of ritual reform and world salvation, it will not be able to elevate the levels; it will only flourish for one, two, three, four, or five generations.
Moreover, it is difficult to implement education and cultivation, and human beings will focus only on their own supernatural powers in this concept of growth. Is it useful in the human world and can it be applied in the next life? Not necessarily! It depends on whether one relies on 'virtue and wisdom' to achieve lasting fulfillment.
##Void Holy Virtue Immortal Lady, Heavenly Holy Mother
The original spirit is clear and the mind is calm; the virtue of water will surely bring about renewal.
The virtues of our ancestors have left a fragrance for thousands of years; the teacher continues the cause of other minds' supernatural powers.
Hearts' supernatural power (他心神通) will certainly clarify how others' thoughts and intentions arise and act. Furthermore, it can thoroughly discern and judge these thoughts and intentions, thereby understanding others' mental and spiritual nature. This means that one's own experiential function is promoted by hearts' supernatural power (他心神通), and it can also foresee what kinds of difficulties and obstacles one might encounter in the process of existence.
In the process led by thoughts and consciousness, it is necessary to understand how to resolve difficulties. This involves the application of the realm of hearts' supernatural power (他心神通), and the process! How should actual growth and improvement be achieved? This indicates the necessity of thoroughly understanding the realm of hearts' supernatural power (他心神通).
Hearts' understanding (他心了知): This is an application of psychology, and in psychological factors, it is often more realistic than the methods humans apply. In the process of applying human psychology, it is inevitable to explore and analyze problems. How can one achieve and remove difficulties?
Understanding the psychological function, the perspectives of immortals and Buddhas (仙仏) and sentient beings differ. How should one achieve clarity? Is human psychology being applied appropriately? This is crucial for whether sentient beings can overcome their difficulties. If one can引用引用 true principles, many practical applications will be made in all processes, and difficulties can be resolved.
At this present moment, it is difficult for human beings to reach the stage of transforming their mental and spiritual nature. Instead, they only depend on the application of supernatural powers. As a result, it is difficult to thoroughly understand the functions of mental and spiritual nature, which becomes an obstacle to their own mental and spiritual elevation.
The realm of hearts' supernatural power (他心神通): It is the understanding of the mental state of sentient beings, led and taught by immortals and Buddhas (仙仏). Through the realm of hearts' supernatural power (他心神通), one can achieve self-transformation and the compassionate salvation of immortals and Buddhas (仙仏). Moreover, hearts' supernatural power (他心神通) can clearly understand others' thoughts and intentions, and discern the future retribution from the 'arising of thoughts.' All can be understood from the arising of thoughts.
However! At the initial moment of conceiving a thought of good or bad, if one acts through one's own conduct and movements, the results will certainly manifest in the present and also in the process of receiving future karmic retribution. This is the initial thought that arises in one's mind, which exists in the three categories of 'good, evil, and ordinary' in terms of the nature of the thought.
Furthermore, regarding the future, if one cannot clearly discern the process of thoughts arising in the mind, how can one understand all the outcomes? Moreover! If one can thoroughly understand through one's own actions, it can be clarified by the power of telepathy, guiding and teaching sentient beings. This also applies to sentient beings with psychic abilities, spirit mediums, or those who write divine messages.
Indeed, through the guidance and warnings of the Immortals and Buddhas, the clarity of the power of telepathy is influenced. Moreover, in the process of understanding the mind nature of others, if one thought arises, the whole becomes thoroughly clear and explicit. This is often applied in the methods of saving sentient beings and reforming the world, constantly repeating the process of salvation and alleviation of suffering.
Therefore! Between the Immortals and Buddhas and the psychics, seamless cooperation is necessary. Through this process, one can clearly understand and distinguish its effects. In the mind nature of others, if one cannot clearly understand and thoroughly comprehend, it is necessary to rely on the revelations of the Immortals and Buddhas, which requires a rich and accurate knowledge of life experiences.
The realm of the power of telepathy: it is most suitable for the purpose of saving and alleviating suffering, as well as for reform. However, when ordinary sentient beings possess the realm of the power of telepathy, it is applied to the process of depending on survival. This process of dependence is merely about understanding the course of events, and at this stage, there is no manifestation that can be expressed.
In the process of salvation and alleviation of suffering, psychics, proper spirit mediums, proper spirit writers, and those who write divine messages must understand through the guidance and revelations of the Immortals and Buddhas what the sentient beings are thinking and how their thoughts arise. This allows 'thoughts arising in the mind' to lead 'consciousness of thoughts,' becoming the key to removing and purifying obstacles.
The descent of the Immortals and Buddhas: it is to guide the holy tasks of saving sentient beings and reforming the world. Therefore! The manifestation of divine spirits is all promoted by this. Moreover, human sentient beings who visit temples and shrines often harbor a sense of reliance, and sometimes they tell their heartaches to the Immortals and Buddhas with a trial mindset, but what happens then?
Worship of the Immortals and Buddhas is very appropriate, and some prostrate themselves completely. Through such verification and manifestation, the secrets hidden in the hearts of human sentient beings can be revealed. In their hearts, there is a sense of yearning and worship, and such manifestations are frequently applied in the realm of the power of telepathy.
At this stage: sentient beings can deeply believe in the manifestation, and they often become lost in this process. Through the realm of the power of telepathy, one can understand the existence of secrets and privacy. Others find it difficult to understand. The revelation of faith and reliance on the divine is conducted at this stage, and using it to guide and teach sentient beings is not wrong.
However, if one believes that the manifestation proves the Immortals and Buddhas to be very efficacious, it often leads sentient beings into the obstacles of delusion at this stage. It is also difficult to reach the boundary point of guiding from delusion to enlightenment. The key lies here, therefore! In many temples and shrines, the actions of salvation and alleviation of suffering are constantly repeated, and there is nothing else that can be done.
In the world, the palace halls dedicated to saving sentient beings will exist in this process of manifestation, and it is uncertain whether the elevation of the 'mind nature and spiritual nature' of sentient beings can transcend or merely lead to deeper delusion. It is difficult to use delusion as a means of teaching and enlightenment, which is precisely the rare condition of guiding delusion into enlightenment!
The privacy of others is profound, and the divine spirits can verify the minds of others.
The dichotomy of ascent and descent, and the rectification of virtue through teaching and enlightenment.
With thorough understanding of other minds as the foundation, and the arising of thoughts and intentions as self-formation.
All karmic consequences are self-received, and the realm of spiritual powers ascends to the understanding of other minds.
This verse! Should be studied together with sentient beings to clarify how to act and behave in manifestation and guidance. Indeed, it is about elevating the realm of the spiritual power of understanding other minds, and in the manifestations of the past, this stage was often applied to guide sentient beings into the ranks of practice, and it is still used in the present, existing in this kind of manifestation.
This situation is merely a trend lasting 'one ji = 12 years,' and there is no clear understanding of how to elevate the teaching and educational programs for sentient beings. It is necessary to elevate one's own mind nature and spiritual nature to transcend.
##Sage of the Lineage　Zeng Shen
All virtuous beings observe with their full hearts, and the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara reminds the multitude of the mundane world.
The virtue of bodhisattvas is achieved through people, and the fundamental of teaching and elevation is reached.
Today, Ancestor Zushi from Qing Shui has descended to write the twenty-second chapter of the Heart Dharma—Understanding Other Minds. In the realization of immortals and buddhas and those with spiritual abilities, if one merely clings to the manifestation of sentient beings without knowing how to teach and elevate their mind nature, it is impossible to achieve the fundamental nature of elevation and transcendence. Thus, it will certainly be difficult.
Manifestation: A guidance for the ignorant and deluded beings, indicating that one should not commit evil. However, for true practitioners, it is not necessarily so. If there is only reliance and dependence on supernatural powers, it will always be difficult to elevate, and instead, sentient beings may become lost in the realm of manifestation.
Moreover, in the Taiwan region, over thirty years ago, all temples and halls frequently exhibited the manifestation of mind-reading supernatural powers. However, if one wishes for the present time and space to be like it was over thirty years ago, it becomes difficult to guide and correct practitioners. This is the sorrow of manifestation and indicates that the expedient measures of the past were not necessarily wrong.
##Ancient Great Power Bodhisattva
Speaking of the Great Way that pervades all under heaven, the holy virtue is boundless and the principles are flawless.
Zi Si, thinking of the Master, descends into the holy hall, where the supernatural power of past karma is enhanced.
Past Karma: It is the self's actions and deeds that guide one's destiny. Through survival and nourishment in the human world and the cultivation of character, it involves the integration of mental and material laws. The actions and deeds of one's past lives, whether they were right or wrong, straight or crooked, exist between good and evil, and are manifested and revealed in the present.
In the process of the formation of causes and effects from past lives, how should one thoroughly understand and guide past karma? Through the process of past karma's guidance, it is possible to provide a means for repaying past karmic debts, allowing for a clear understanding and complete manifestation in this life. This is something that every human being must do, and it should be repaid in the human world.
Past Karma Penetration: It is the achievement of the condition to clearly understand and fully comprehend the accumulation of past causes. This is a method of spiritual penetration given to mediums, psychics, spirit mediums, upright spirit-writing practitioners, and celestial scribes, through which the holy immortals and buddhas verify and guide the eighth consciousness of the spiritually attuned to be led by 'mind consciousness.'
Through the attainment of the realm of past karma penetration's supernatural power, one can clearly know the various processes and actions of past lives. By observing the integration of one's mental nature and physical actions in the present life, one will certainly understand that the actions of past lives are 'what has passed is gone, what has departed cannot be pursued.'
Through the process of saving the world, immortals and buddhas and mediums can verify and clearly understand. The causes and effects of past lives are 'what has passed is gone,' and the various past events cannot be brought back. Moreover, whether the past was blessed or cursed, it exists at the boundary between good and evil, and can be clearly known through the causes of the past.
It is about making the intricate details of events comprehensible to sentient beings in the process of saving the world. Through this, one can gain the insight of empathetic understanding, and by treating oneself as another and another as oneself, one can reach the stage of reform and repentance.
If it is difficult to realize and even harder to agree with the sacred teachings, and one goes so far as to slander them, the warning and guidance provided by the Immortals and Deities and the spirit mediums will immediately lose their effectiveness, and the process of creating evil consequences will inevitably lead to frequent interference by misfortune after a period of time.
The realm of the power of knowing past lives (宿命神通力): It involves the realization and discernment of beings' past actions, and even more so, it delineates the boundary between creating good and evil karma. For those who create good karma, it is difficult to recall their past lives, but for those who create evil karma, they will suffer the consequences of their actions, enduring the bitter process of retribution.
Moreover, if one fundamentally believes that they have no faults, it becomes difficult to truly understand and realize the warnings given by the Immortals and Deities and the spirit mediums. Thus, they exist in a deep abyss of disbelief, and even if they believe something, they cannot verify their past actions. Therefore, they often refuse to believe.
Therefore, there are those who take a stance of difficulty in agreeing with the warnings of the spirit mediums or the Immortals and Deities, and who are unable to take preemptive actions to correct themselves. In the process of saving the world, the application of the power of knowing past lives (宿命神通力) is a realm of spiritual power often used by compassionate spirit mediums and the Immortals and Deities in temples, and it is also the sorrow of the beings' ignorance.
Past life (宿命) means knowing one's various past actions and, through the observation of thoughts and intentions, it is difficult to fully understand the results of all causes and conditions. However, it is possible to judge the overall effects of right and wrong, correct and incorrect, good and evil, through one's actions, making everything clear. The actions and deeds of beings always exist in this way.
A certain kind of realization and clarity arises, understanding the cyclic laws of affairs, which is to know from the chain of events whether there is a distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, correct and incorrect. This forms the various accumulations of one's current life, which are promoted by causes and conditions and formed by one's own karma. It is very difficult to thoroughly understand one's past life (宿命).
It is necessary to thoroughly understand the accumulations of life after life. Sometimes, through this, one can see the various actions of past lives. By observing current actions, one can understand what past habits and behaviors were. Through this, thorough understanding is possible. Moreover, by thoroughly understanding the causes and conditions of multiple lives, they will truly manifest in this world.
The habits of beings are difficult to change, and without the purification of religion, it is hard to truly sever evil karma. One's accumulated habits and base nature dominate all actions in life. Therefore, as the saying goes, 'It is easy to change the江山 (landscape) but difficult to change one's nature,' it is necessary to elevate one's 'mind nature and spirit nature' through religion.
Moreover, it is necessary to transcend and fully transform one's accumulated habits. By doing so, one should take appropriate actions in the present life. Otherwise, one will spend their life in confusion and distress, and even if they get another chance in the next life, it will be difficult to change, even if repeated again and again.
Is it the lack of compassion of the Supreme Heaven (上蒼) or the sorrow of the beings' difficult-to-change habits? The reality lies in whether one makes the effort or not. It is not certain that one can clearly understand how to transform their past life (宿命) and elevate and transcend the adverse fate within it.
With the wisdom of past lives, one can clearly understand and transform accumulated habits.
Causes and effects can be transformed; ascending and transcending, one achieves true wisdom.
The realm of supernatural power reaches the heavens; in the mortal world, it is commonly used in temples and halls.
The spirits of immortals and Buddhas are in harmony; transforming past life karma leaves no trace.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement between sentient beings, spirits, and immortals and Buddhas. In the act of saving the world, how can one clearly understand and realize the accumulated habits of sentient beings? And how can one transform and eliminate them? One should make practical efforts to transform and repay in this very life, so as not to carry them over into the next, for such habits are difficult to change.
The actions of sentient beings can all be completed in the present to manifest in this very life. It is uncertain whether sentient human beings can achieve such certainty. It is necessary to make a concerted effort to elevate and strive forward, eliminating all negative karma. Only then can one truly transform past life karma and transcend in the human world; may it be so! may it be so!
##Namo Nendou Ancient Buddha
Every day is a truly good day; life ascends ever higher.
All sages can transcend the ordinary and the sacred; in every mother's heart, there is a compassionate mother.
Today, through Confucianism, the sage Zisi narrates the descent and work of the Master, 'The Great Dao Mind Method • Chapter 23: Past Life Supernatural Powers.' One can understand a person's habits, which are related to the accumulated effects of past and many lifetimes. By observing the present life, one can clearly understand the previous life. If one's accumulated habits are difficult to change, one will certainly experience various processes of retribution in this very life.
Time and again, one repays the accumulated habits of past lives, the karmic causes, effects, obstacles, and retributions owed. How should one act in the present? By elevating one's mind and spirit to a higher level, one can avoid creating the causes of suffering for the next life. The next life is a synthesis of all, and the past life is precisely the process of retribution in this life!
##Ancient Manjushri Bodhisattva
Religion impartially rescues the deluded and submerged; the Holy Path equally awakens all sentient beings.
Having consulted the Master, the veneration of the heart descends; the power of knowing past lives recounts the truth again.
Through the accumulation of various actions over many lifetimes, the total aggregate of one's past causes and conditions is precisely what is brought about by the accumulation of causes and conditions. In the mental and spiritual nature of sentient beings, this leads to the overall planning and nurturing of life and cultivation. Whether one can grow or not depends on the immediate transformation of past negative causes and conditions.
Entering a religious sanctuary: it is the best place to cleanse the human heart. It is also a platform for the veneration of the heart, a place of learning, and a school. The true transformation and reform of sentient beings through religious education are realized in the immediate actions and behaviors, which all become future karmic results—whether for retribution, enjoyment, or calamity. One can know this in the present moment.
By adding together all the various causes and conditions from one's past, they should be transformed in the present. If sentient beings are not educated through religion, it will be difficult for them to act in accordance with the reality of existence, and they will lack the function of positive guidance. By bringing the accumulated causes and conditions from past lives to the present, and acting in the present, one is creating the place where future karmic results will manifest.
If one's actions and behaviors are virtuous, one can transcend, certainly! One can transform past negative habits. Conversely, if they are evil and crude, it will be difficult to change them. This is because the mind and nature of human sentient beings are responsible for themselves. If one cannot achieve this, it will be difficult to transcend the mind and nature, and it will certainly obstruct the manifestation of one's Buddha nature.
One's various actions in past lives are already in the past and are difficult to trace. If one wishes to forcefully understand the past, one merely remains in the circle of good and evil, right and wrong, and positive and negative. Because the past is difficult to recall, one can certainly anticipate the present, and the evaluation of one's inherent nature and actions is precisely the judgment of future results.
The boundary between blessings and misfortunes is formed in one's growth and learning, by understanding how the causes and conditions of past lives are acted upon. How can one transform past habits in the present and become a standard practitioner? Only then can one repay the karmic debts of many lifetimes in the present, which is in accordance with the laws of human existence.
The power of knowing past lives (宿命神通): it is attained through cultivation and will certainly be guided and initiated by sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and other holy beings. Moreover, it provides an opportunity for the growth of one's mind and spirit. Although some can understand the realm and origin of the power of knowing past lives, it is frequently applied in the work of saving the world.
Regardless of whether it is the palaces, halls, immortals, Buddhas, holy beings, or Bodhisattvas involved in saving the world, all are one and the same. If it is impossible to communicate through the medium of the spirit board, it will be difficult to engage in mutual communication with sentient beings. This will only result in superficial manifestations and an inability to open a bright path for sentient beings. It will inevitably lead to the constant act of saving the world for the sake of saving the world, and what can be done about that?
However, during the period of prosperity in the salvation of the world, it will only last for one, two, or three decades, and it will be difficult to surpass four or five decades. Moreover, while manifesting to the minds of sentient beings, it cannot provide the complete realization of true meaning, and even more so, it will cause sentient beings to be confused in an untranscendable predicament.
From the perspective of the salvation of sentient beings, it is also difficult to transform the accumulated causes of the past. In the realm of the supernatural power of past-life knowledge, the Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Deities, and Bodhisattvas may issue warnings in advance, and it is difficult to transcend the limitations of samsara, as there is only the merit and blessings of five hundred years, and it is even more difficult to surpass the limitations of five hundred years of merit.
Thus, the existence of the Holy Deities, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas is one of a difficult-to-elevate sorrow. Therefore, the realms of supernatural powers such as the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, and Past-Life Knowledge, though frequently used in religious practices and attainable through cultivation, how can the Holy Deities, Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas of all temples and palaces transcend them?
The method of spiritual communication and spiritual manifestation for sentient beings only serves to display these realms of supernatural power, and it is difficult to enter the realm of the divine foot power. Moreover, the mental and spiritual nature of sentient beings cannot be transformed through the human world to remove past bad habits, and it is even more difficult to transcend the various limitations of the mundane world.
The human world is a realm of the duality of Yin and Yang, where there is right and wrong, error and truth, right and wrong, and ○ and X. To transcend samsara in this world of duality, one must know the true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth, and it is even more difficult to thoroughly understand the process of the evolution of the Boundless, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heaven.
It will only remain in the duality of Yin and Yang, and it will be difficult to transcend, and even more so, to achieve the completeness of return and transcendence. Through the power of past-life knowledge, one can understand the habits and routines of sentient beings, but sentient beings often indulge in petty and harmful actions, and cannot find a way to know their own existence at a higher level.
In religious scriptures, through repeated gatherings and revisions, they align with the essence of human existence, and it is difficult to invoke the true meanings of heaven and earth, the Boundless, the Void, and the Great Universe to create the true meaning of one's own existence. This is the helplessness of those who enter religious faith, and it also creates limitations and obstacles in faith.
The realm of the supernatural power of past-life knowledge is something that sentient beings can attain and obtain through cultivation. Moreover, human sentient beings are inherently endowed with these four realms of supernatural power: the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, and Past-Life Knowledge, and they can be truly obtained. However, what is obtained is merely the manifestation of one's own spiritual power, and if one cannot maintain the originally endowed realms of supernatural power, how should one proceed?
If one boasts and exaggerates, this realm of supernatural power will disappear. It is necessary to understand that supernatural power is no match for karmic force, to be humble, and to clearly comprehend how the use of the realm of supernatural power will manifest in the future. Only then will it not lead to the frequent provocation of karmic causes, karmic effects, and karmic obstacles.
The interference of karmic causes and obstacles is, in itself, not surprising. However, there are many who obtain this realm of supernatural power and frequently boast and exaggerate, and even more so, there are too many who use supernatural power to create karma. This is beyond one's own ability, and it would be strange if karmic causes, karmic effects, and karmic obstacles did not come to punish them.
Why is it that in the Jishi Palace or among spiritually gifted individuals, such difficult processes of retribution often exist? The true reason lies herein: they are unable to practically impart the true meaning of transcending existence to sentient beings, and instead rely solely on 'manifestation' to display exaggeration and boast of their own superiority and mysticism.
It offers no help whatsoever to one's own cultivation; what benefit is there for sentient beings and mediums? Can they understand? It is very difficult! For the Immortals and Buddhas, it is the same manifestation of karmic obstacles and karmic retribution that leads to their downfall, and they often sink into the mundane, with only the merit and blessings of five hundred years. When the time comes, they will be reborn into the world of mortals to suffer again. Why should they do this?
Therefore! For the Immortals and Buddhas, and the deities of various levels in the temples and palaces of the human world, it is necessary to transcend, return, and achieve perfection. They must also understand and thoroughly comprehend the true meanings of heaven and earth, the universe, the void, and the infinite in order to ascend and transcend. This is an essential action and mindset, and it is the right path.
The spirit mediums work for the salvation of the world, and the Immortals and Buddhas share this attachment in their endeavors.
With the heavenly eye and heavenly ear, and the ability to know others' minds, the understanding of past lives is even more accurate.
After five hundred years of merit, the true meaning of heaven and earth becomes clear and transparent.
Returning, transcending, and achieving perfection, one ascends and surpasses the infinite.
This verse! It is a shared encouragement for the compassionate Immortals and Buddhas and the spirit mediums. In the future, it should not be limited to just five hundred years of merit. To transcend the cycle of rebirth, one must strengthen the understanding and clear comprehension of the true meanings of heaven and earth, the infinite, the void, and the universe. This is a form of upward growth and transcendence.
Do not remain only in the salvation of the world, and do not forever sink in the Jishi Palace. One must certainly apply the 'realm of the power of knowing past lives' in the salvation of the world to truly understand the nature of human beings. How to elevate and how to transcend depends on one's own perspective and actions, and it will determine whether the future will be one of ascent or descent!
##Water Official of the Lower Yuan, Great Emperor of Water
The great trend inevitably leads to the true heart, and the path to the Bodhisattva is the right path for human sentiment.
All karmic connections and past-life destinies are thoroughly understood; the role of saving the world transforms the inherent causes.
Today, through Confucianism, Zongsheng Zengshen descended to author “The Heart Method of the Great Dao, 24th Session: Past-Life Supernatural Powers (Part 2)”. It elucidates that in a temple dedicated to saving the world, if the principal deity or other spirit mediums use true teachings and principles, they can elevate the mental and spiritual nature of sentient beings. What, then, is the role of such a temple?
Through the act of saving the world, it becomes clear whether the education and culture of sentient beings are genuine, and whether they are invigorated through the manifestation of enlightenment. This only exists in the context of being unable to transcend and elevate, can you understand? Furthermore, in the context of the overall teachings and karmic connections of Chongxin, the high sages and Buddhas of the Void, the Infinite, and the Heavenly Realm elucidating the true meaning of heaven and earth is indeed very precious.
Providing sentient beings with the necessary resources for higher-level teachings in terms of mind nature and spiritual nature, thus enabling the karmic connections of all virtuous beings to be fully endowed with blessings, wisdom, and merit. Understanding one's mindset, responses, actions, and wisdom determines whether it is a cause for celebration or sorrow, which is decided by one's own efforts and practice.
##Ancient Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
Namo to all sentient beings who chant, connecting with the Heart Method of the Lamp-Bearer.
The ancient Buddha promulgates the Chongxin connection, in the chapter on the Divine Path of the Supernatural Power of the Divine Feet.
Understanding the divine eye, divine ear, other minds, and past-life destinies, all spirit mediums, mediums, psychics, righteous spirit mediums, and celestial pen mediums in the human world, as well as the holy immortals and Buddhas in temples and halls, frequently apply their supernatural powers to perform acts of saving the world and alleviating suffering, and to transform the difficulties encountered by sentient beings.
The realm of supernatural powers: This is indeed necessary. In the process of manifesting spiritual abilities, if the educational and cultural programs and opportunities for teaching are not realized, sentient beings often fall into a process of obsession with manifestation. This is a frequent action applied by the deities, immortals, and Buddhas in the temples and halls of the human world.
The realm of the supernatural power of the divine feet surpasses the realms of the first four supernatural powers without falling short. While the divine feet's supernatural power is relatively easy for immortals and deities to attain, it is relatively difficult for humans to achieve. Furthermore, the divine feet's spiritual power transforms the body into a light and agile state in this world.
When the body becomes light and agile, it resembles the ethereal grace of an immortal. The weight of the human body, due to consuming grains and other foods and indulging in desires without knowing moderation, becomes even heavier. Therefore, the karmic obstacles of the body are difficult to remove, often leading to an increase in one's weight. If one wishes to fully attain the realm of the supernatural power of the divine feet, how should one proceed?
One must have a light and nimble body, and through this lightness, one can even stand on water without sinking. Therefore, to make the body light and nimble, one must rely on personal cultivation to achieve it. Being able to enter rivers and seas without sinking, the spiritual bodies of immortals and Buddhas possess a certain energy body, which is indeed very light and nimble.
Energy: Every sentient being possesses it. This energy is conditioned by causes and conditions, and is closely related to the various practices of this life, past lives, or previous existences, which have a significant impact on the energy stored. It is what every sentient being exists and possesses, and the manifestation of the divine power and spiritual realms depends on the fulfillment of what kind of causal energy.
Moreover, for ordinary human beings to achieve a light and nimble body or a spiritual light body similar to that of immortals and Buddhas, it is necessary to eliminate the various karmic causes, effects, and obstacles accumulated over many lifetimes. Otherwise, it is difficult to fully manifest the divine power and spiritual realms. How then, are the energy and lightness of the spiritual light bodies of deities, immortals, and Buddhas?
It is difficult to be similar to the wandering spirits of the secular world. The spiritual light energy of immortals and Buddhas, when fully possessed, manifests the divine power and spiritual realms, which cannot be achieved in the human world, where only the weight of the body increases. Thus, sentient beings find it difficult to achieve lightness and to fully possess the energy of the spiritual light body.
It is precisely because they cannot manifest the divine power and spiritual realms that human beings are in this situation, unable to achieve a light and nimble body, and thus unable to fully possess the divine power and spiritual realms. However, deities, immortals, and Buddhas are not only light and nimble, but also, by fully possessing the energy of the spiritual light body, they can fully manifest the divine power and spiritual realms.
If sentient beings cannot reach this realm, it is difficult to open the divine power and spiritual realms. To fully manifest the divine power and spiritual realms, it is necessary to move a single thought: to change one's location and transform. By moving this thought, one can certainly change one's location and transform in the human world, and reach it in an instant.
Moreover, the divine power of deities: it exists in many layers. Some can fully possess the energy body and achieve the divine power and spiritual realms of changing their location and transforming. Some, although they possess it, lack the divine power to do so, and thus cannot meet such conditions. To reach it in an instant, time is necessary.
For deities, immortals, and Buddhas to reach this realm, they must proceed step by step to fully possess it. Moreover, when ordinary sentient beings encounter calamities, why can deities, immortals, and Buddhas rush to the scene to save them? It is because deities, immortals, and Buddhas can fully possess the spiritual power and divine realms, which they manifest.
Moreover, if it cannot be reached instantly, it is due to the difference in levels. Those who can fully possess the divine power and spiritual realms in the human world are very few, even in Taiwan. In the entire world, they are rare. A light and nimble body is a necessary condition for fully possessing the divine power and spiritual realms.
The divine power and spiritual realms of ordinary human beings are possessed through meditation. Meditation is a state of lightness, not one of completely changing one's location and transforming. By distinguishing between the spiritual body and the physical body, one can truly manifest one's spiritual power.
The realm of divine foot power can sometimes be attained by practitioners, thereby taking the lead in their own spiritual power. Moreover, it is given to them to achieve within the realm of divine foot power, and to fully realize the realm of divine foot power, making their spiritual bodies light and complete. Otherwise, it would certainly be difficult to attain.
The ancient Dámó Chan Master: was able to cross the river with a single reed, which was a manifestation of the realm of divine foot power. Moreover, the divine foot power is a cause and condition achieved through cultivation, and in this realm of divine foot power, it can be manifested from the perspective of humans or immortals and Buddhas. Those with divine foot power can manifest it through cultivation, which is a reflection of their ability to move to other places, endowed with the cause and condition of lightness and completeness.
Divine foot power: is possessed under these conditions, and sometimes one can attain the grace of an immortal and the bones of a Daoist. In the living habits of human beings in the present era, if one desires to move to other places, it is necessary to borrow the use of aircraft in the sky or vehicles on the ground to achieve such relocation, and even more so, to move to other places without setting foot on the ground, fully manifesting the transformation.
This condition does not apply to immortals, Buddhas, and deities. Moreover, when it is necessary to move to other places, it is something that can be achieved by an energy spirit body. Indeed, what conditions does such an energy spirit body possess? It is possible to know what kind of divine foot power and spiritual energy for moving to other places are possessed by sentient beings and immortals, Buddhas, and deities.
Divine foot transformation involves relocation, while human beings rely on vehicles.
Aircraft in the sky take the lead, while not setting foot on the ground is the foundation.
The divine foot power in the realm of spiritual penetration is something that immortals and ordinary people should clearly understand.
This surpasses the first four penetrations; moving to other places demonstrates the fulfillment of a contract.
This verse! is offered to encourage all sentient beings, to take the lead in the relocation through the realm of divine foot power, and to fully realize the practitioner's mind and spirit as they truly are. Thus, it will not merely exist in the process of the five penetrations' delusions, but can change the manifestation of spiritual powers, providing a clear understanding to dissolve the delusions of spiritual powers.
The text enlightens the world and resolves the delusions of sentient beings; the special function is self-contracted.
Bodhi seeds transform ordinary causes; at the time of the Bodhisattva, clarity is attained.
Today, Namo Rándēng Gǔfó descended to write “The Great Dao Mind Method • Chapter Twenty-Five: Divine Feet and Supernatural Powers,” demonstrating the supernatural spiritual powers of sentient human beings and serving as a driving force for their upward ascent. In this world, the clarity of divine spirits and humans is more firmly understood through this process.
【Note】: Transferring to another place, transforming another place
Transferring to another place—As a mover, one transfers one’s spiritual body to another realm.
Transforming another place—One also transfers one’s body to another realm, but it is different from the transfer through time and space.
One who transfers to another place does so with the physical body. One who transforms to another place does so with the spiritual body, but this spiritual body can also manifest as a separate body, precisely as a separate body that descends to the human world.

第十八回　 天眼神通（二）
The Lower Yuan transforms and opens the masses from delusion; the Virtue of the Water Official pervades and supports all sentient beings.
The Great Emperor, with compassion, saves the masses; the divine feet and supernatural powers are recounted again.
Divine feet: One possesses them through one’s own cultivation, having supernatural spiritual powers in the human world. Therefore, possessing them from the human world is relatively novel, while possessing them from immortals and Buddhas is common. Divine feet primarily involve ‘transferring to another place’ and can be effectively used in both ‘transferring to another place’ and ‘transforming another place.’
Indeed, with a single thought: one can move one’s physical body through the supernatural power of transferring to another place. The condition that those with supernatural powers possess is a light body. Without this condition, it does not exist. Therefore, in the manifestation of ‘transferring to another place’ or ‘transforming another place,’ the body must be as light as a goose feather, which is a crucial requirement.
Divine Foot: It is necessary to possess a certain spiritual power that can directly elevate oneself to the celestial realm or descend to the netherworld, manifesting through the conditions of this spiritual power. As recorded in Buddhist scriptures: Venerable Maudgalyāyana descended to the netherworld to rescue his mother from suffering, demonstrating the power of divine foot, precisely as such.
Precisely because it is recorded in the scriptures, it is difficult for sentient beings in the present era to clearly understand and experience it, and they may even disbelieve it; it is considered a manifestation of religious phenomena, a reflection to warn the hearts of people. In fact, to fully manifest this power of divine foot, to achieve transformation by moving to another place or transforming another place, can be said to be the spiritual power of divine foot.
One who possesses the Divine Foot: must have a body as light as a feather. If an ordinary human body cannot meet this condition, it must be achieved through meditation. This involves separating the spiritual body from the physical body through meditation, and sometimes during the meditation process, one can free oneself from the constraints of the physical body.
If observed from the outside, it appears as if only the physical body is meditating, while the spiritual body has already ascended to another place. In the records of spirit medium travels, this is another manifestation process of the spiritual power of divine foot, with many accounts of encountering certain masters and Zen teachers in certain places, engaging in pleasant conversations that are vividly described.
The manifestation of the spiritual power of divine foot is precisely the spiritual insight of the meditator. The divine foot's ability to 'transform and move to another place or move and transform another place' is a manifestation of one's own spiritual power. However, for human beings, it is impossible to have a body as light as a feather, and thus, when they fall into water, they sink straight to the bottom, which is the reason they cannot possess the power of divine foot.
For sentient beings, how should they manifest their spiritual power? It is necessary to distinguish and separate the 'spiritual body and physical body.' The required conditions are to purify one's 'thoughts and consciousness' and to resolve and eliminate the karmic causes and effects accumulated over many lifetimes. Otherwise, it is difficult to achieve a light and nimble body.
Being light can ascend directly to the blue sky, and there are many cases of 'broad daylight ascension' manifested in the human world. In fact, for sentient beings in the human world, it is quite easy to possess the divine eye, divine ear, mind-reading, and knowledge of past lives. However, to fully possess the power of divine foot and the power of complete liberation is not something an ordinary person can achieve.
Facing the repayment of karmic debts, one must truly manifest them in the present life. Without these conditions, one will be entangled by the karmic obstacles accumulated over many lifetimes, making it difficult to attain or realize the power of divine foot. Moreover, the manifestations of divine foot are not limited to this; there are many different levels.
Divine Foot: What are the necessary conditions and limitations? Why can sentient beings not fully manifest this spiritual power? This is determined by whether the karmic obstacles have been completely eliminated. Otherwise, one must wait until one's cultivation surpasses these obstacles and one possesses this ability to develop the power of divine foot.
At this stage, one must abandon the physical body and possess only a luminous energy body, which is as light as a feather, or even lighter than a feather. To enter this level of the luminous energy body of immortals and Buddhas, one must cultivate to the point where this realm is supported. Otherwise, no matter how much one desires or practices, it is difficult to achieve.
The realm of divine foot power is subject to certain conditional limitations and is not as easily attainable as the divine eye, divine ear, mind-reading, and past-life recall. This applies to celestial and buddhist deities, bodhisattvas, asuras, mountain and water spirits, and various other ghosts, all of which have lost their human physical bodies.
To fully attain the realm of divine foot power, one must recognize that the intangible energy already possesses the necessary conditions. How, then, should one seek this energy body of supernatural power? In the process of ascending and transcending, it is necessary to rely on the manifestation of spiritual and supernatural powers, as well as various methods, to ascend and reach the energy body of the Boundless, Void, and Great Cosmic Heaven.
These conditions are not within the reach of the general sentient world, including mountain and water spirits, and various ghosts and spirits, as well as the deceased. Why is this so? The distinction in these levels is not clearly understood by ordinary beings, nor can they grasp the knowledge and wisdom required, which differ greatly in hierarchy.
Divine foot power transforms and moves to other places, and spiritual supernatural power becomes even more wondrous.
Only then can one perceive the present, and even a thousand miles away, one can form a connection.
The levels of divine foot power in sentient beings are numerous, and they must possess the resources and experience to achieve it.
When all karmic causes and effects are settled, one can attain the infinite cycles of divine foot power.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement for sentient beings. In the karmic causes and conditions revealed by spiritual and supernatural powers, some elevate the essence of their spiritual abilities to a higher level. This is a result of their own karmic conditions and efforts, and it is necessary to proceed step by step to achieve success. This is a process of gradual growth, not something that can be accomplished in a single leap; I hope for it! I hope for it!

第十八回　 天眼神通（二）
To universally save sentient beings, one must be earnest. The virtuous must clearly understand and practice the teachings.
The method of bodhi has changed, and the bodhisattva's formation is boundless in its compassion.
Today, the Great Emperor of Water has descended to write the 26th Chapter of the Great Dao Heart Method, titled “Divine Feet and Supernatural Powers,” elucidating how sentient beings can clearly understand the energy of divine feet. Humans, immortals, Buddhas, and spirits possess this energy at different levels. Why can some ascend and transcend? Why do others remain in the mundane world, unable to achieve ascent and transcendence?
It is necessary to undergo many levels of cultivation to understand and transcend the truth, which is a step-by-step process of self-elevation, bringing about real functions and effects. Moreover, the 'sentient and formless' in the vast universe can easily possess such abilities, but few human beings have this energy and supernatural power. This is a concept that must be understood.

##Ancient Deity Han Zhongli
##Ancient Dark Heaven Supreme Deity
The Southern Palace should teach without bias, and the protection of sentient beings should be done with humility.
The Imperial Lord writes the chapter on the Heart Method, detailing the power of the cessation of outflows in one go.
The Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, Past Lives, and Divine Feet are known as the Five Supernatural Powers. Possessing the first four supernatural powers is relatively easier in the human world, but reaching the realm of the power of divine feet is more difficult. Furthermore, the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows is not something that ordinary mortals or spirits can possess.
Only those who have reached the realm of a bodhisattva, and even more so those who have entered the realm of a Buddha, can attain it. Moreover, the supernatural powers of spirits can only be developed through the cultivation of 'virtue and wisdom.' In the realm of a Buddha, not only can the process of the power of the cessation of outflows be understood, but its functions can also be clearly comprehended.
The realm of the power of the cessation of outflows is not something that all holy immortals, gods, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas can possess. The most crucial factor is that 'virtue and wisdom' must be extremely advanced. If either 'virtue' or 'wisdom' is lacking, it is difficult to meet the conditions. The cessation of outflows is related to the accumulation of various causes from the past.
All those who have reached the high ranks of holy immortals, gods, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas can truly attain it. However, unless the conditions of 'virtue and wisdom' are highly advanced, the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows cannot be manifested. Moreover, the process of the power of the cessation of outflows is a specialty of immortals and Buddhas, and it is rare for human beings to possess and attain it.
Unless one inherently possesses the essence and has descended to the human world to be reborn, it is difficult to manifest the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows. To manifest this condition, one must go through the 'process of entering the womb.' In reality, this is often obstructed by the 'delusions of entering the womb,' making manifestation difficult.
The causes and conditions of the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows allow one to directly understand and penetrate the various causes and essences of the past. The power of past lives is truly manifested in the present. Furthermore, one can clearly understand the universe, the void, and the Infinite Dao, and comprehend the various causal effects of the stars in the universe. This is what is fully manifested in the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows.
The realm of the power of leakage cessation: to attain true and clear knowledge is to have a definite and clear understanding and realization of all living beings, and in the realm of the power of leakage cessation, one can truly and clearly realize the detailed process in the present moment. If one cannot realize the way of survival of all things in the realm of the power of leakage cessation, it is impossible to fully manifest this realm.
In the realm of spiritual power that is facilitated by spiritual force, the myriad beings in the great thousand worlds can intricately experience the way of survival and can truly and clearly understand and clarify their mental states of survival. Thus, in the realm of the power of wisdom, there is a true and complete manifestation, and therefore, the realm of the power of wisdom must have abundant and practical fruits of realization.
To provide the essence of survival to the myriad species and beings in the great thousand worlds, and to transform virtue into the sentient beings. To elevate the causes and conditions of the virtuous immortals, holy deities, and bodhisattvas, and to realize and apply the methods of nourishing life for the beings. This is to transform virtue into the sentient beings.
Moreover, in the realm of the power of leakage cessation, one can truly and clearly understand the four aspects of sentient beings: 'mental state, wisdom, response, and action.' Therefore, in this realm, the holy deities, immortals, buddhas, and bodhisattvas all embody high virtue and wisdom, and through these conditions, one can clearly realize the process of nourishing life in survival.
To provide true and practical application for the survival and nourishment of beings, and to ensure that the methods of survival do not deviate from the habits of beings, leading to the improvement of the survival environment. This is precisely how the elevation of spirituality is manifested, and it is the reason why the wisdom and virtue of holy deities, immortals, buddhas, and bodhisattvas are fully realized in the realm of the power of leakage cessation.
How to elevate the spirituality of sentient beings? To move towards a more transcendent realm, in the 'realm of the power of wisdom' and the 'realm of the power of virtue,' one must truly and practically realize the survival and application of sentient beings, directly elevating the scope of transcendence. What then is the realm of the power of 'wisdom and virtue'?
This indicates that the 'realm of the power of leakage cessation' is fully manifested in the present moment, and even more truly transcendent and practical. Why cannot the spiritual power and physical body of sentient beings transcend? It is because in their cultivation, they cannot elevate the integration of mind-nature and spirituality, and thus cannot ascend to deeper and higher dimensions.
In the survival and application of beings, they often conceal their conscience and true nature for the sake of survival benefits, trampling on their own spirituality. This means that in the human world, where 'people die for wealth, and birds die for food,' spirituality is not used for transcendence and only serves the role of survival in the world of reality.
Moreover, in the present world, people often engage in actions that are not in line with their own conscience, and some even take pride in such actions, believing that future retribution will not diminish their blessings and virtue. However, those who hold such actions and thoughts cannot transcend further and instead fall into the whirlpool of sinking and rebirth. Why would they do this?
The power of leakage cessation relies on causes and conditions, and wisdom and virtue are mutually close.
The function of human life lies in transcendence; to sink and obscure oneself is infinitely close.
The power of the power of exhaustion surpasses the five spiritual powers; the Holy Immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas are the same.
In the mundane world, seeking great causes and conditions, the delusion of entering the womb ceases to exist.
This verse! It is to encourage all sentient beings together. In the future, whether one can transcend and elevate, by knowing the way of life of all sentient beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds, one can elevate the realm of **exhausting all outflows and attaining spiritual powers**, and not sink down. It is only through profound wisdom and virtue that one can be fully endowed.
##Ancient Deity Cao Guojie
Open the Great Way widely to ferry all beings; all sentient beings will transcend.
Respect the teacher and value the Way, be mutually affectionate, and the king will be invincible and praised by all.
Today, the Southern Palace's Blessed and Protecting Emperor has descended to author 'The Great Way Mind Dharma • Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Spiritual Power of Exhausting Leakage'. By truthfully analyzing the realms of wisdom spiritual power and virtue spiritual power, and understanding the essence of blessings, one will gain a rich and abundant essence and resources in the future.
##Celestial Emperor of the City God of Wuji
The great nation of Han is inherently selfless; the mountains and rivers of Zhongyu are freely traversed.
Leaving the world to speak of humanity, the story of attaining perfect spiritual power is recounted again.
From the perspective of the spiritual power of complete exhaustion of defilements, it is for the elevation of the realms of wisdom spiritual power and blessings spiritual power. The spiritual power of sentient beings is lacking in this process, and in the human world, without being fully endowed with the realms of wisdom spiritual power and blessings spiritual power, what can be done?
The desire to attain one's own 'Lòujìn Shén Tōng Lì Jìng' (state of complete psychic power) cannot lead to the higher realms, and it is even more difficult to reach the 'Lú Huǒ Chún Qīng' (state of perfect refinement). This is because it requires being without any hindrances; and since the state of complete psychic power means being without any hindrances, it also requires a true elevation and transcendence of one's own virtue and wisdom.
It is through one's own actions that the human world can be applied to perfection, thereby enabling transcendence and integration. Moreover, if sentient beings in the human world find it difficult to reach such a state, they will be unable to resonate and manifest like the Holy Immortals, Sages, and Buddhas, and thus their mind-nature and spiritual nature will not be clear and realized.
There will be constraints and obstacles in the mind-nature, making it difficult for the spiritual nature to reach completeness and harmony. In terms of the subject of psychic powers, they merely give humans a sense of aspiration, whereas the Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas have a luminous and transparent spiritual body, and are even crystal clear. In the realm of the spiritual body's psychic power, what is it like?
If the spiritual powers of the Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and sentient beings in the secular world cannot reach their realm, the psychic power realm cannot be fully and truly manifested, which is what the human world lacks. Furthermore, because the human world lacks a luminous spiritual body, it cannot be radiant and clear, nor can it be crystal clear.
To truly illuminate the world of sentient beings with spiritual power, according to the general secular scriptures, when speaking of the 'Lòujìn Shén Tōng Lì Jìng' (state of complete psychic power), it is necessary for the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas to advance without any hindrances. However, since the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas cannot abandon these hindrances, their luminous spiritual body's energy cannot become crystal clear.
Furthermore! To see the outside world directly without any obstruction, and to ensure that the psychic and spiritual powers of wisdom and merit do not leak, how can one reach such a state? Moreover, any Holy Immortal, Sage, Buddha, or Bodhisattva in the world of sentient beings can truly strengthen and fully possess the energy of their luminous spiritual body. However, it is difficult for the human race in the world of sentient beings to reach this goal.
The realm of psychic power of wisdom can be truly elevated in this era. The entire 'Dà Dào Xì Liè' (Great Dao Series) is constructed based on this, and through this, one can return and transcend to the vast resources of the Wuji and the Void Heaven Realm. Moreover, it is possible to achieve the Lotus Buddha Kingdom in the 21st century and enter the Pure Land of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom.
To truly manifest and elevate the psychic realm of spiritual power, and to elevate wisdom and merit, if it is difficult to fully possess oneself in a more advanced manner, one will not be able to stand for a thousand ages and will fall. To allow the sentient beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds to understand the complete manifestation of the 'Lòujìn Shén Tōng Lì Jìng' (state of complete psychic power),
The spiritual power of merit and wisdom must be the leading force, and all the Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas in the three thousand great thousand worlds are subject to this, thereby enabling them to stand eternally without contradiction. To transform and bestow boundless welfare upon sentient beings, and to further fully possess the Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas with: merit and wisdom, compassion and universal love!
Equal and truly non-action transformation and bestowal: all Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas in the world of sentient beings can truly possess all merit and wisdom, and furthermore, it is an unceasing and endless source. By possessing such causes and conditions, one can become the driving force for all Holy Immortals, Sages, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas to transcend and elevate even further.
All temples and palaces in the human world, the deities, immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas residing therein, if they wish to achieve further transcendence, must break through the obstacles of their own mind and nature. This can be accomplished by entering the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows. If there is merely a limitation of 'five hundred years' of time, then one must elevate to transcend a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, ten thousand years, and ten thousand ten thousand years.
This involves transforming and elevating oneself in the present, and through the realm of the power of the cessation of outflows, one can let go and be free from attachments. To reach such a state, one must possess 'immeasurable wisdom and boundless merit' to make one's luminous body as clear and transparent as possible and to infinitely manifest one's energy.
This is about transforming oneself, transcending the limitations of 'five hundred years' or 'a thousand years' of mundane time, and achieving transcendence of a thousand thousand years, ten thousand ten thousand years, and even entering the realms of the Infinite, the Void, and the Great Universe. One should be able to fully manifest and lead through the power of the cessation of outflows, ensuring that one's luminous energy body is boundless and infinitely clear.
The divine eye, divine ear, mind-reading, knowledge of past lives, supernatural travel, and the power of the cessation of outflows can elevate all deities, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and human beings in the world of sentient beings. This is the process of clarifying such conditions, and it should be so. If one cannot clarify, the desire to ascend and transcend will be limited to mundane functions!
The holy deities, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas cannot leave the world of sentient beings. This world is indeed a 'realm of life transformation.' If one cannot achieve ascension and transcendence, the full manifestation of the Infinite, the Void, and the Great Universe will often encounter many bottlenecks and obstacles. How can one truly realize and clearly understand the meaning of the power of the cessation of outflows?
The entire sacred mission of veneration is to provide the deities, Buddhas, and virtuous beings with such an opportunity, allowing them to truly understand the process of the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth in the first instance of time and space. This is an opportunity one should celebrate and find solace in, as it is a heavenly opportunity and a good connection that other lineages cannot offer in matters of human religious faith.
Do you know whether you can cherish it? Be comforted by it? Be happy about it? It is correct to know this for oneself. Otherwise, future sentient beings will yearn for such a heavenly opportunity and conditions. At present, everyone can realize the virtues of heaven and earth and the virtues of the deities, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas. This is about more fully manifesting one's mind and spirit.
The power of the cessation of outflows serves as a cause and condition, and the realm of wisdom and supernatural power is intimately connected.
The supernatural power of merit draws near, and the luminous brilliance shines boundlessly.
A luminous body as clear and transparent as crystal, with energy fully present and mutually supportive.
The function of knowing is inexhaustible; transcending sentient beings, myriad spirits are renewed.
This verse! We encourage all sentient beings together; in the future, one can truly promote the entirety of the Great Dao, and also enhance one's wisdom and merit to be inexhaustible. This is precisely to change the conditions that could not be fulfilled in the past, and to achieve a genuine transcendence and elevation, leading to true growth and return.
##Ancient Deity Li Tieguai
Mystery and wonder inherently exist; the heavens and earth, with their sentient beings, are even more lovable.
The highest virtue, being selfless, is true action; even the Emperor on the throne must strive.
Today, the Immortal Elder Hán Zhōnglí descends to write 'The Great Dao Heart Method • Chapter 28: The Second Part of the Perfection of Insight.' This will thoroughly illuminate all connections. In the world of sentient beings, how can one elevate and transcend by observing the holy immortals, gods, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and spirit mediums? How can one transform the mere existence of five hundred or a thousand years?
Let one's luminous spirit body shine with boundless light. Through this function, all deities in the world's temples and palaces can understand how to transcend, how to elevate, and how to return. By comprehending this, one can transcend in the present moment and enter the future: the Pure Land of the Lotus Buddha, where there is no hindrance.
##Ancient Wenchang Imperial Lord
Cáo Zhào reveals the true nature of all; the nation will be at peace without contention.
The uncle says in the Great Dao Heart Method chapter: it provides guidance on extraordinary abilities.
Observing the abilities of the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, Past Life Knowledge, Divine Feet, and the Perfection of Insight, these are the extraordinary abilities that ordinary sentient beings aspire to, especially in the present era, which is more pronounced than ever. These abilities are also very common in the contemporary world, particularly in the precious island of Taiwan, thus spirit mediums are widespread, showcasing these abilities.
To be endowed with such spiritual abilities and to pursue the perfection of extraordinary functions, it is essential to understand that these spiritual powers are sometimes the result of past cultivation, sometimes acquired through present training, and sometimes bestowed by immortals and buddhas. The most important task is to use them wisely without creating karma.
Otherwise! In the spiritual abilities of spirit writing, one often creates karma for oneself. Would you all wish for this? The manifestations of special abilities are indeed varied and diverse, with numerous processes of manifestation. Therefore, in the leading supernatural abilities of special functions, there is always a part that is limited by 'illusory tricks.'
Moreover, by personally witnessing, one convinces oneself and others, and even more so! one believes and pursues all the processes of manifestation. This kind of spiritual ability is precisely what human beings aspire to, and the special functions and supernatural spiritual powers are divided into many levels.
However, all of these do not depart from a certain kind of manifestation. The process led by supernatural spiritual power is the goal that spirit mediums strive for. Moreover, it is necessary to avoid creating karma, and the actions of sentient beings can break through the obstacles of ignorance. The abilities demonstrated by special functions also have a positive guiding effect on one's own spiritual abilities.
Otherwise! If one uses the supernatural abilities of special functions to fall into the depths of sin and karma, it is not what the Heavenly Emperor and Immortal Buddhas desire. Therefore! The moment when 'special functions' are demonstrated is to observe all the signs and procedures, and through one's own mind and spirit, to manage them through one's own thoughts and consciousness.
Often, there exists a 'hallucinatory effect,' and not everything seen is entirely accurate. Moreover, there is a false appearance and illusion, leading one to believe that everything seen is real. What is demonstrated by one's own spiritual abilities is certainly completed and obscured by one's own 'consciousness function' at that moment.
Spirit mediums, righteous mediums, and spirit writers all go through this kind of process. Moreover! the supernatural powers one possesses, such as the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, mind-reading, and past-life recall, can all be clearly observed, one by one. However, they are distinguished by the levels of their hierarchy, only ranging from the first to the fifth dimension, and it is extremely difficult to understand all the phenomena in the sixth to the tenth dimension.
In different levels and different spaces, the supernatural spiritual powers one possesses are observed through special functions. Often, there exists a false appearance, and this tendency is even stronger in spirit writers, spirit mediums, spirit communicators, and those with spiritual abilities. It is even more pronounced in those who walk the spirit mountains, and what is observed is not entirely accurate due to the level of hierarchy.
One may think that one can communicate with Holy Immortals, Gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas, mutually receive spiritual messages, or mutually verify with higher-level immortals and sages. However, the information obtained depends on external abilities and is accomplished through external spiritual power. This is because each person's level of hierarchy is different, and what they see also differs.
Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is real or an illusion. The mindset of those with spiritual abilities becomes difficult to clarify, and they believe themselves to be very superior, even considering themselves to be the reincarnation of a Holy Buddha. Moreover! they may even think they have a higher attainment than a Holy Buddha. This is the 'function of consciousness' and 'proclaiming one's own rank.'
Moreover, one cannot recognize the truth of the matter and continues to believe oneself to be superior to Buddhas, Holy Beings, Immortals, and Deities. This is a contemptuous view of all Holy Beings and Buddhas, inflating oneself and believing oneself to be absolutely true, and being convinced that Immortal Buddhas descend to save sentient beings.
There will be a tendency to inflate oneself and belittle the transformative functions of other immortals and Buddhas. Moreover, without understanding one's own abilities, numerous obstacles and limitations will arise, and the packaged products will lead sentient beings to blindly pursue them, unaware of whether they can seek a ladder back to the Great Way or fall into a state of decline.
Those with extraordinary abilities and special powers, though they possess these functions, true virtuous individuals will never easily manifest in the human world. They act secretly, just as immortals and Buddhas help sentient beings without making it clear who has relieved their distress. It is through the virtue and actions of immortals and Buddhas that sentient beings are transformed and saved.
However, among those with supernatural abilities, there are some who, after acquiring such powers, fear that the world will not know and have already packaged and promoted them. This is a method often used by sentient beings today. Through the guidance of the Confucian Sage Gate, it is possible to lead sentient beings to goodness, guiding them from delusion to enlightenment, rather than deepening their delusion.
If one cannot understand how to elevate and transcend, one can integrate and harmonize the true meaning of the external and the true nature of the internal. Using this as a means of transformation rather than complete absorption, it should be a more excellent way to achieve the elevation of human sentient beings and to make them understand the compassion and teachings of immortals and Buddhas.
Moreover, transforming one's own ignorance is the true nature. Otherwise, if it is difficult to elevate and one merely chases the process of spiritual manifestation, this is the sorrow of sentient beings. Therefore, the extraordinary abilities that exist for sentient beings are a process of manifestation, but can they serve as guidance? Can they lead to elevation? Or will they cause one to create negative karma?
Can the spirit mediums of the sentient world understand the true meaning? They possess the supernatural powers of divine hearing, divine sight, mind-reading, and knowledge of past lives, and even all kinds of supernatural spiritual powers. Can they use them well? Can they help themselves and others achieve a higher level of transcendence? This is the true nature.
At the same time, by the mutual cooperation of the holy immortals and Buddhas, they can promote and manifest greater virtues, leading sentient beings to higher moral attainments. This is the true reality. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say that immortals and Buddhas and oneself are not creating negative karma together. How can one avoid creating negative karma? Truly, how can one discern and understand the true elevation and transcendence in the present?
Many seek extraordinary abilities; supernatural spiritual powers will inevitably be close.
Divine sight, divine hearing, and mind-reading; knowledge of past lives is even more in accordance with the heart.
Karma and its consequences are fair; one must not create sin or indulge in self-pity.
The Immortals, Buddhas, and Holy Deities together form a bond, guiding sentient beings to the true cause of enlightenment.
This verse! It is to be shared and encouraged among all sentient beings; in the realm of special abilities and spiritual powers, how should one understand the application of the Dharma? It is imperative not to create karma, but to genuinely enhance and develop these spiritual powers, transcending and eliminating all obstacles of ignorance, thus achieving a perfect resolution of problems.
##Immortal Patriarch Han Xiangzi
The city walls must be strong and endure forever; the hearts of the heavenly people are even more pure.
The virtue of the Emperor is exalted, and the hearts are mutually attracted; the words of the gentleman guide the heart to be sincere and upright.
Today, the Immortal Scholar Cao Guojiu has descended to write 'The Great Way Heart Dharma • Chapter 29: Special Abilities.' Those who already possess the divine abilities of the Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear, Mind Reading, and Past Life Insight must be aware of this! It is necessary not to create karma, but to skillfully utilize these inherent spiritual abilities to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings and transform their obstacles.
The deities in the temples and palaces of the human world are precisely a means of guiding through karmic connections, leading sentient beings to the path of good guidance and preventing them from being ensnared in the whirlpool of alcohol, lust, wealth, and fame. This is the true nature, and no criticism should be allowed. Even if the levels of education and transformation differ, they should be treated equally. I hope! I hope!
##Ancient Educator Celestial Emperor
Li Zicheng (Iron Crutch) descends to venerate the heart, and the Immortal Scholar writes the sounds of the Heart Dharma.
The Great Way is widely propagated, reaching all corners of the universe; like the sole revered one, it transforms and eliminates everything.
Spiritual powers and divine abilities promote special functions and manifest in the human world. The human realm is opened to elevate the mental and spiritual qualities of oneself and all sentient beings. Moreover, not only for the necessity of one's own survival, but from the most fundamental necessity, currency and the food chain are formed.
Without good fortune and karmic connections, one cannot possess currency (money). Moreover, in the present era, all sentient beings look forward (to money). Furthermore, the basic conditions necessary in the human world also, through this possession, frequently increasing currency in one's survival process, affect the authenticity of one's mental and spiritual nature.
Moreover, one often sells one's own intrinsic nature and mind, and yet! considers this to be a matter of course. In this era, 'special abilities and extraordinary functions' are frequently obtained through the cultivation of sentient beings; some are formed through the cultivation of past and present lives, and there is a necessity for the manifestation of psychic powers.
Furthermore, in the present, one often sells one's own heavenly principles, good conscience, and original spirit for the sake of nourishing life, thereby entangling oneself in numerous karmic causes, effects, and obstructions. Thus! Regarding psychic powers, if the true meaning of heaven and earth is taken as the foundation, this should not be the case, but rather the correct path!
The psychic and spiritual powers of sentient beings allow them to perceive the contemporary society, and in this era, where they cannot see all phenomena, these powers lead to the inflation of self-consciousness. In the mindset of 'self-supremacy,' they belittle other religions and further diminish and negate the educational functions of orthodox traditions.
When such opportunities are put into practice in the present era, there are many who walk the spiritual mountains, possessors of extraordinary functions and psychic abilities, and those with special abilities. Their 'mind nature and spirit' exist in the realm of 'self-supremacy' and 'the functioning of the conscious spirit,' thus they are unable to realize the true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth.
It is extremely difficult to have equality, universal love, compassion, and virtue towards other religions. When one reaches psychic abilities through cultivation, there are many phenomena that are difficult to verify and understand, and the acquired psychic and spiritual powers serve as the basis for one's own inflation, and one even boasts of one's abilities as being exceptionally superior.
Such abilities can rival any and surpass the energy of immortals, Buddhas, holy deities, and bodhisattvas, all existing within the realm of 'self-supremacy' and 'the functioning of the conscious spirit.' Therefore! Although all teachings from ancient times have been transmitted to the present era, due to the mentality and actions of mutual deceit and self-interest among religions, humans find it difficult to understand the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth.
If the 'self-supremacy' and 'defiled thoughts' exist, one's karmic obstructions will entangle, making it impossible to realize and understand. Moreover, the longest duration of all psychic and spiritual powers is only sixty years, and they cannot exist eternally. What kind of problem is this? On the contrary! It accelerates one's own downfall.
One harms one's own body and spiritual power, and the psychic and spiritual powers bring about the effect of inflating the mindset of 'self-supremacy' and 'defiled thoughts,' thereby negating the educational functions of all religions. Thus! One does not know one's true face, and on the contrary! Exists in the constraints that prevent one's own elevation.
The true meaning of heaven and earth is that, regardless of the conditions in which sentient beings are born and raised, all are one and the same: equal, universally loving, compassionate, and justly protecting the living space of sentient beings. Through the virtue of the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth, if! Human beings cause fear and destruction among the multitude through psychic and spiritual powers, what then!
Through such actions, heaven and earth will eliminate the psychic and spiritual powers that create evil karma over time. If one can bring about significant creation for the welfare of sentient beings, heaven and earth will favor those with psychic and spiritual powers, and whether or not one's heart is truly devoted will determine whether one can elevate and grow.
And one must not harbor the defiled thought of 'I alone am the honored one'. If one regards oneself as the sole existence in heaven and earth, it will accelerate the interference of karmic obstacles. Such actions, based on the nature of the spiritually attuned, can lead to a more genuine transformation and integration with sentient beings, thereby enhancing one’s spiritual power.
All spiritually attuned beings in heaven and earth must not have the mindset of 'I alone am honored'. If this mindset exists, it will be difficult to bring greater welfare to sentient beings, and those who create evil will accelerate harm. All divine spirits in heaven and earth are far more advanced than the spiritually attuned beings in the mundane world.
The human world has its necessity for existence, but it cannot comprehend the true meaning of the workings of heaven and earth. Moreover, all spiritually attuned beings are limited to the human world and thus cannot clearly understand the reality of the great universe’s operations. It is extremely difficult to glimpse the true principles of the vast emptiness and the infinite void.
All spiritually attuned beings with supernatural powers must maintain a humble attitude. Furthermore, they must integrate and transform for the welfare of all sentient beings in heaven and earth. This is the true essence; otherwise, the mindset and actions of 'considering oneself supreme above all' will cause the holy immortals, deities, and buddhas to feel a profound sorrow at their inability to recognize such beings.
For the human world to try to glimpse the formless world of divine spirits is nothing but overestimating one’s own abilities. On the contrary, in this opportunity, it is essential to understand all spiritually attuned beings with supernatural powers. If one can accumulate merit in the mundane world, one can transcend to the great universe, the vast emptiness, and the infinite void in the future, and will not sink back into the five turbid evil worlds.
Supernatural powers and spiritual abilities depend on cultivation, nourished by both past and present lives.
The mindset of 'I alone am honored' should not be harbored and must be eliminated.
Experiencing and interpreting the workings of heaven and earth, the essence of the infinite void is truth.
The space of the universe is infinitely vast, and all sentient beings hope for mutual resonance.
This verse! It can be mutually experienced and heart-sealed with the spiritually attuned among sentient beings. It is for the creation of future welfare for all beings, and by observing the actions of those who commit evil, the mindset and actions of spiritually attuned beings with supernatural powers can be truly understood and elevated. I hope! I hope!
##Immortal Elder Lan Caihe
Elucidate the subtle principles in writing, and the flourishing and propagation of the Way will naturally follow.
The Emperor's virtue and compassion are demonstrated on the platform; your words should be without jest and more clear.
Today, Li Tieguai Xianweng has descended to write “The Great Way Mind Methods, Chapter Thirty: Wei Wo Du Zun.” For all those with spiritual and supernatural powers, if they cannot harmonize the process of divine power with heaven, the infinite, the void, and the universe, it will be difficult for them to benefit sentient beings.
Furthermore, for the sake of circulating wealth and benefiting life, one often commits sins, accumulating immeasurable karmic causes and effects in this lifetime. This is a sorrow for those with spiritual and supernatural powers, and it is difficult for them to be aware of it. It serves as a warning and admonition to those with such abilities, for ‘spiritual powers are hard to overcome karmic forces,’ and one must be very cautious!
##Celestial Emperor of the Third Pass of Wuji
Cultivate the hearts of people as Han De did, and the truth of Xiangtiao will naturally be promoted.
The Master said, ‘The Great Way is boundless and far-reaching; the function of consciousness is for the benefit of humanity.’
When the consciousness of ‘Wei Wo Du Zun’ (Solely I am Supreme) dominates and enters the true mind, there is the function of consciousness. If such human beings cannot eliminate impure thoughts, they will form a ‘fixed attachment’ to their own actions, and ‘Wei Wo Du Zun, Yi Shi Tai Tou’ (Solely I am Supreme, Consciousness Rises) will undermine the educational effects for sentient beings.
When one's consciousness is elevated, it also leads to the undermining of the teachings of other religions. This is a process dominated by one's own consciousness. If one cannot adopt a humble attitude, and instead boasts about the heights of one's own cultivation, it will be difficult for one's cultivation to be recognized by the Holy Immortals and Buddhas.
Furthermore, it is impossible to integrate with the world of sentient beings. The function of consciousness, in the realm of human thought and awareness, lacks completeness in one’s own consciousness. One’s mindset harbors a notion of looking down on others, and even fails to recognize the teachings of other religions.
Moreover, due to the function of the high and arrogant mindset of ‘Wei Wo Du Zun’ (Solely I am Supreme), one cannot advance to a higher level and will stagnate at this level. One cannot coexist with other religions and society, and will be mutually constrained, unable to escape this predicament.
It is necessary to understand that all religious lineages have the function of receiving the will of Shàng Cāng and promoting educational and cultural values. Therefore, one must not only adhere to the truth in one's own faith but also protect one's own religion, and affirm and praise other religions, thereby acting with an equal and loving heart.
This allows the educational and cultural values of all religions in heaven and earth to flourish without mutual denigration. In the human world, some beings can practice the Lesser Vehicle, some the Middle Vehicle, some the Higher Vehicle, some the Great Vehicle, and some the Buddha Vehicle. How, then, are they to be distinguished?
This is because the teachings of each religion are designed to foster personal growth and provide opportunities for the masses to enter and learn from religion, improving themselves. Moreover, they offer a path for human beings to ascend, enabling those who truly cultivate and practice to understand the true unfolding of heaven and earth, thereby ensuring that their actions align with the requirements of Shàng Cāng.
By cultivating and transforming oneself, one can return to and transcend, which is the correct path. Moreover, the consciousness of religious practitioners is often influenced by the will of Shàng Cāng, who provides various resources. Furthermore, the lack of manifest and tangible responses from one's own and other religions is a fundamental means of guiding sentient beings.
Under these conditions: can one truly understand the unfolding of heaven and earth? In the human world, regardless of the circumstances, one cannot escape the issue of human survival. If one cannot understand this issue of survival, one's mindset and consciousness will often lead to opportunities for mutual denigration among different religions.
This effect: it is precisely the undermining of the educational efficacy of other religions, which leads to one's own sinning. In the human world, this will not increase one's accumulation of merit but rather increase the opportunities for creating karma due to religious faith. Such karmic consequences will persist into the future, preventing one from truly understanding the true meaning of the unfolding of heaven and earth.
One will then assume that the mission and will one has received are unattainably high and incomparable to those of other religions, influenced by erroneous thinking. This leads to the inflation of one's own thoughts and consciousness. Although it is said that immortals and Buddhas can provide partial guidance and correction, in the human world, they cannot be mutually integrated.
This results in mutual comparison and denigration, leaving one at a loss! Consequently, the teachings of religions not only fail to promote the cultivation and growth of sentient beings but also lead to confusion, preventing them from truly cultivating and resulting in judgments of right and wrong, good and evil.
It is necessary to understand that every religion in the human world has different educational functions and cannot be said to be incorrect. It is also not right to claim that all stages of cultivation in different religions are incorrect. It is not possible to assert that only the Buddha Vehicle is correct. The educational functions of each religion should be evaluated based on the conditions at the time to foster cultivation and growth.
One must recognize that after one's birth, each stage of learning and growth, as well as each year and each learning experience, should lead to advancement. One should not remain at a single stage. After learning in one's youth and entering society and family, this is another form of learning that provides opportunities for the growth of social and familial knowledge.
Thus, in the study of 'old age and death' in the future, it is a humorous saying often repeated by the Master Lǐbǐ Zōngzhǔ, that one should 'come and go well, not come and go in deception.' It is essential to understand clearly in one's own learning that everyone can come well, but not everyone can go well. Why is this so?
Throughout one's life, frequently engaging in 'deception and more deception' leads to the accumulation of many negative karmic deeds and entanglements of karmic obstacles. This process exists in the human world, and it is impossible to praise and affirm other religions. It is necessary to understand that teaching has no inherent hierarchy or class distinctions.
Each sentient being grows and learns at different stages. The differences in the teachings of society and religion are reflected in the educational stages of the current era, from kindergarten to primary school, middle school, high school, university, and graduate school. Can it be said that any of these stages are incorrect or inappropriate? It is difficult to do so!
One must clearly understand the educational and cultural curriculum, and each religion is no different. Through education, another focus is on the equality and universal love in the educational curriculum. Upon entering a religion, one should appreciate the grace and compassion of the Heavenly Deity, which serves as a correct guiding principle for one's learning and growth.
One must, in the process of learning and growing, be able to assist and support others, allowing oneself to achieve a higher level of learning and improvement. This is the correct approach. It is necessary to understand that one can praise and admire other religions or people, thereby accumulating virtue within oneself.
If one resists and rejects others, it diminishes one's virtue. If one further defames or attacks others, one's virtue will be completely lost. By defaming and belittling others, one bears the burden of one's own shortcomings and inadequacies, and one's mistakes become the subject of others' criticism.
This is truly a loss that cannot be compensated. In this process, one's mistakes continue, not only reducing one's merit and virtue but also causing suffering. Religious leaders often encounter points of contradiction and must understand clearly that by integrating with the masses, one can integrate with the Heavenly Deity and any sage, immortal, deity, or Buddha.
If it is difficult to integrate with the masses, it will be difficult to integrate with the Heavenly Deity, and even more difficult to integrate with the sages, immortals, deities, and Buddhas of all heavens. This is a necessary condition for 'harmonious integration.' This truth has remained unchanged for millennia, and it is hoped that one can clearly understand that religious teachings can be more complete and unobstructed, making heaven and earth more harmonious and approachable.
The notion of 'only I am supreme' should not dominate one's thoughts and consciousness.
The discernment of consciousness should be harmonious, making heaven and earth a subject of laughter and ease.
The sacred landscape of Spirit Mountain is cultivated by ordinary people; it is truly sought by all sentient beings.
A haughty mindset and thoughts make it difficult to achieve with the Supreme Heaven.
This verse! It can be mutually encouraged by all sentient beings; I hope! I hope!
##Zhang Guolao Immortal Elder
The veneration and teaching are entrusted to the Heavenly Venerable; human cultivation comes to verify it.
The descendants surpass and enter the realm of proof; they can feel this heart in harmony with heaven.
Today, the Immortal Elder Hán Xiāngzǐ descends to write 'The Great Way Mind Dharma • Chapter Thirty-One: The Function of Consciousness,' which can verify one's own thoughts. One should not have a mindset that belittles others' actions; the more people you admire, the more virtue they will bestow upon you. If you slander with words, your cultivation will be lacking, and you will surely give your virtue to the other person.
##True Lord of the Fate of Wuji
The fruits of Lán Lán's efforts depend on cultivation; Cǎi Hé's transmission of the truth is thorough.
The Immortal Elder descends to write the mind dharma; it is necessary to abandon divergent paths and wrong ways.
The consciousness and thoughts of human beings and all sentient beings lead to their own functions, making it very difficult to clearly understand: the consciousness of self-importance forms a mixed body of consciousness functions, and even more so! When one takes the information they receive as the main subject, they cannot understand the origins and developments of all matters, often becoming a hindrance to themselves.
Furthermore, with the consciousness of self-importance and the function of consciousness, one is guided into divergent paths and wrong ways. It is precisely in this era that spirit mediums and those with spiritual insight are likely to fall into this trap.
Yilu Qitu: This means being unable to practice in the correct manner and also being unable to serve as a proper spokesperson for the Immortals and Buddhas. In such a case, one merely receives messages and finds it difficult to ascertain whether they are correct. Furthermore, one is unable to use common sense to judge and thus cannot apply wisdom to understand how one should act.
Moreover, it is difficult to know what is correct! Without a clear direction to understand the correctness of one's actions and behaviors, one falls into a situation where self-improvement is impossible. From the perspective of those who walk the spiritual mountains and use the spirit medium: giving a signal to the reception of messages can activate one's spiritual power.
Just depending on external spirits and being unable to lead with one's own mind and consciousness, one ends up in a state of merely receiving messages. Furthermore, one cannot erase the messages received, thus cannot be the master of oneself, nor can one distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil. As a result, one ends up accepting everything without question.
On the contrary! One becomes a slave to the messages. In the process of receiving spirits, if one can apply wisdom, one can perform teachings at a higher level. However, if one tries to complete teachings at a general level, one remains in the lower teaching process and only influences the lower levels.
Yilu: There is no correct path, nor is there a road that follows rules. One's mind and consciousness are attached to receiving, and one cannot clearly understand what level of Immortal or Buddha has been received. Moreover! One cannot truly believe that what has been received is absolutely correct and without error.
It is also difficult to know how to use the resources for transformation, and how one's spiritual power can resonate with the Immortals and Buddhas. One ends up merely discerning one's own tendencies and making discriminatory judgments. Especially for spirit mediums who speak, it is necessary to understand the impact of overly detailed revelations.
If one reveals unnecessary heavenly secrets, part of them will be disclosed, causing sentient beings to fall into confusion. Frequently knowing future events in advance is often too excessive. Sometimes, sentient beings should be allowed to bear their own consequences. If, in this process, sentient beings cannot personally experience and eliminate their karmic debts, it becomes a difficult process for both the Immortals and Buddhas and the spirit mediums.
One must inevitably face the cycle of karmic retribution. From the perspective of the Immortals and Buddhas, this should be avoidable. However, for the spirit mediums, in the relationship where their frequencies resonate with those of the Immortals and Buddhas, they must speak what should be spoken and remain silent about what should not be spoken. Otherwise! At that time, both the Immortals and Buddhas and the spirit mediums will fall into a situation with no room for maneuver.
Qitu: One cannot follow the path that should be taken as a proper way. However! The process of all survival orientations in the human world is established through the accumulation and progression of causes and effects. Sentient beings can eliminate karmic obstacles through repentance and reform, but if they cannot be eliminated, sentient beings must inevitably bear them.
Those who create grievances: they can enhance their sensitivity and gain many experiences in this process. This is the compassionate grace of the Supreme Heaven. In the human world, there are also spirit mediums and deities who cannot experience this process. On the contrary! They perform sacrifices on behalf of sentient beings and assist in matters related to karmic obstacles.
Those who suffer injustice have no true means to overcome such karmic obstacles, leading to an increase in their feelings of anger and hatred, which in turn prevents their resolution, further compounding their resentment. Thus, they cannot dissipate and will intensify in the future, which is the sorrow of spirit mediums in the present age.
Divergent Paths: To provide the spirit mediums and those with spiritual abilities with the process they should understand, sometimes guiding sentient beings to fully repay their past karmic debts. There should be a more correct method, allowing sentient beings to take heed and be warned, and not to repeat the same mistakes in the future.
Complete Elimination of Karmic Consequences: This is to provide a more perfect resolution for both parties, allowing the 'perpetrators and victims of injustice to mutually seal an agreement.' This enables sentient beings to take heed and not create evil causes again. Such conditions align with the fairness of the law of cause and effect, do not deviate from it, and do not obscure it, thus being truly effective.
Otherwise! Relying on the spiritual powers of immortals and Buddhas and the abilities of spirit mediums to repel the wronged, if one were to stand in the position of the 'victim of injustice,' how would everyone feel? One should carefully reflect on the process of repaying karmic debts, as the correct path is to fully eliminate the causes of karma. Repaying karmic debts from past lives should be done in this life to clear the karmic obstacles created by past actions.
It should be fully resolved in this life! There is no need to repeat it in the next. Whether sentient beings willingly accept the repayment or try to escape their difficulties in ignorance, it is necessary to prevent the formation of a triangular relationship in the next life, caused by the accumulation of karmic obstacles when spirit mediums and deities repel the wronged.
Alas! Life is truly a boundless sea of suffering, and it is easy to create sins but difficult to repay them. The most difficult obstacle for sentient beings to overcome is that, during the process of repayment, the wronged creditors find it hard to harm when they see the sincere repentance of the wrongdoers. This is the compassionate virtue of the wronged creditors.
In the mediation process involving spirit mediums, spiritual communicators, spirit oracles, spirit mediums, and immortals and Buddhas, a perfect resolution is the right path! How to fully eliminate the entanglements of karmic consequences? The right path is to ensure that the spirit mediums, those with spiritual abilities, and the divine spirits of immortals and Buddhas do not become the parties involved, thus preventing the karmic cycle from continuing into the next life!
Divergent Paths Should Not Be Taken, For Karmic Debts and Injustices Pursue People.
Spirit Oracles and Mediums Make the Final Judgment, Yet Divine Spirits Similarly Suffer Obstacles.
Karmic Causes and Consequences Are Predetermined, In This Life Sentient Beings Transform Obstacles and Clarify.
Willingly bear and willingly dissolve, experiencing and perfecting wisdom.
This verse! It is to be shared with all sentient spirits and deities; in the future, one must not create another cycle of karmic retribution. This is what the sentient beings of this era should clearly understand and personally experience, the process of willingly bearing and clearing karmic obstacles. 'The heart of repentance, the heart of sincerity, the heart of accomplishment, and the heart of gratitude' must not be lacking, for this is the complete dissolution of karmic debts accumulated over many lifetimes!
##Lady He the Immortal
The Holy Emperor of the Three Passes ascends the stage, and through the veneration of the heart, the truth is set in order.
Each chapter of the Heart Dharma is true and real; karmic obstacles are transformed and the mind becomes free.
Today, the Immortal Elder Lán Cǎihé descends to write 'The Great Way Heart Dharma • Chapter Thirty-Two: Divergent Paths and Misleading Ways,' to understand the process of retribution from past debts. Sometimes it is protected and redirected by immortals and Buddhas, and sometimes it is necessary to personally bear the consequences. However, this is not due to a lack of compassion from the immortals and Buddhas, but rather it is often necessary for humans to personally repay the debts they have incurred in the past.
Indeed, it is necessary to completely dissolve karmic debts in this life, to increase wisdom and provide a great opportunity for personal experience. However, the retribution from past debts should not be excessive, otherwise! In the next life, it will be: cause upon cause, effect upon effect, debt upon debt, leading to endless cycles of retribution, which is not what the immortals and Buddhas wish to see.
##Ancient Queen Mother
Open both hands to welcome the Great Way, and the merits of Guǒ Lǎo naturally increase.
The Immortal Elder gives a warning, admonishing the tardiness of repentance; arrogance in self-righteousness is not permissible.
When human beings enter divergent paths and misleading ways, it is precisely because they cannot personally experience the process of self-consciousness leading them. It is necessary to have clarity of mind and consciousness, and to manage one's own mental state. By doing so, one can understand all processes in the human world and handle personal survival matters, knowing how to personally experience all processes and manifest them in the present.
Furthermore, in divergent paths and misleading ways, it is correct to know how to correct and resolve them. One must not be attached to the notion that one is always right, otherwise it will lead to repeated mistakes, and one's mind will not be able to be its own master, but will instead become merely a vessel for receiving external information!
Different Paths and Divergent Ways: In such a situation, if one cannot transform oneself to achieve all causes and conditions, the spiritual messages received will not have true efficacy, and one’s understanding will be limited, leading to self-willed actions. This is precisely the result of such a cause.
Being on Different Paths and Divergent Ways: If one cannot escape this predicament, one will sink deeper and deeper, believing oneself to be correct and thinking that the process of receiving spiritual messages is absolutely right. This makes it difficult for one to experience the grace of heaven and earth, and it applies to all sentient beings in the human world.
One cannot clarify this process, and one’s actions often encounter bottlenecks, leading to a deeper entanglement and making it difficult to extricate oneself. The act of transformation and elevation is such that some who have the ability to receive spiritual messages will find themselves in this process, believing they are correct.
Self-Righteousness: Religious practitioners, mediums, spirit mediums, etc., often act in this way. Within the scope of their own experiences, they frequently believe that they are absolutely without error, and conversely, they think that the outside world cannot understand the magnitude and height of their heavenly mission or their great ability to save sentient beings.
In such a situation, one cannot use this as a standard, but instead falls into a trap, sinking deeper and deeper, and stubbornly believing oneself to be correct. One cannot view all things with an impartial mind, and thus cannot extricate oneself from the process of creating karma.
In all cases: For mediums, spirit mediums, psychics, and those who are spiritually attuned, if they can humble themselves and integrate with all things in heaven and earth, and understand the true process of heavenly and earthly evolution, they can reflect on the spiritual messages they receive to eliminate and compensate for their own shortcomings.
All phenomena in the mundane world, when viewed by sentient beings, are indeed in a polarized world. Unless one can clearly understand the constraints of this polarization, one cannot humble oneself. Right and wrong, good and evil, correct and incorrect, and righteousness and wickedness are mental states and concepts held only by humans, and it is possible to break free from these constraints.
In the present existence of sentient beings, if they do not achieve fundamental transcendence and a major transformation from the constraints of polarization, they will create karmic obstacles and entanglements that span multiple lifetimes, binding themselves without the ability to escape. This is not how sentient beings can free themselves from the vortex of polarization.
Furthermore, one cannot dissolve these constraints or change one’s past karmic obstacles. As long as one lives within these constraints, for human beings to free themselves from the vortex of polarization, they must align their survival orientation with the integration of all things in heaven and earth, practicing equality and universal love. This is the true reality.
It is necessary to experience this process, to thoroughly understand and experience the process of heavenly and earthly evolution, and to clearly comprehend the evolutionary process of all sentient beings and all things. Otherwise, regardless of whether one is a sage, immortal, deity, or Buddha, or any sentient being or human race in the mundane world, one cannot escape this predicament.
Reception of divine messages: Often, the spirit medium becomes self-important, unable to comprehensively analyze the equality and universal love of heaven and earth, and frequently believes that their spiritual power is higher than the sky, thicker than the earth, and superior to the virtues of all beings. However, it must be clear: when one observes oneself, one is merely one of the myriad beings!
Therefore, one must not deviate from the names and forms of all beings. To transform and embody the virtues of heaven and earth for all beings, it is necessary to change the attitude of self-importance. By widely accepting all divine messages, one can only embody them as a spirit vessel, making it extremely difficult to transform and embody the virtues of Immortals, Buddhas, Holy Spirits, and Bodhisattvas.
Possessing the wisdom and merit of Immortals and Buddhas is the eternal path. Yet, all beings lack this understanding and are unable to escape the limitations of dualism within the constraints of existence. To transcend this predicament, it is necessary to embody the equality and universal love of heaven and earth in the true process of existence. This is the actuality.
All things in heaven and earth have sentiment; embody universal love and fairness.
The virtues of Immortals and Buddhas pervade the great thousand worlds; human well-being and virtue are boundless.
Receiving divine messages clearly; obstacles arise, making it difficult to understand.
Self-importance surpasses the sky; karmic obstructions invade.
This verse! To be studied together with all sentient beings, in the future, to clearly understand the dualism of heaven and earth, which is a perspective of duality. How can it be transformed? By truly embodying the reception of divine messages, one can escape the constraints and obstructions of the cycle of rebirth. May the actual embodiment and elevation be realized!
##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
The Master of Fate governs human life, which is all ordained by heaven; the True Lord, True Spirit, and True Divine Spirit.
Transcending and elevating to become a Holy Spirit; guiding and ferrying future sentient beings as proof.
Today, the Eight Immortals Elder Zhang Guo Lao has descended to author “The Great Dao Heart Method • Chapter Thirty-Three: Self-Righteousness,” which can be embodied and verified. It is about how to integrate one's thoughts and consciousness in the process of receiving spiritual messages, thereby merging with all things and beings in heaven and earth, and understanding the grace of heaven and earth. Moreover, it addresses how to escape from the predicament of a polarized world!
Growth from this process is the true path, and through the process of the evolution of heaven and earth, one can break free from the karmic obstacles of the past and return to transcend the realms of Wuji, emptiness, and the great cosmic heavens in this era. May it be so! May it be so!
##Ancient Jade Pool Golden Mother
What flowers bloom throughout the world, fairies cultivate to become celestial beings.
Young women can also become true immortals, but errors are hard to correct, which is inherently a flaw.
When one is immersed in the mindset of 'self-importance,' the effect of 'self-righteousness' makes it difficult to verify whether something is correct or not. One cannot even realize that errors have become difficult to correct. Moreover, being trapped in the predicament of 'errors are hard to correct' leads to an inability to know how to improve one's actions, thereby creating many limitations and obstacles.
Indeed, such a mindset and concept restrict the process of dealing with all spirit mediums, psychics, and those who are spiritually attuned, and it also prevents one from escaping these predicaments. In the process where one's thoughts and consciousness are dominant, it is impossible to clearly identify the correct direction, and one fundamentally continues to inflate one's spiritual and divine powers.
It becomes difficult to affirm and recognize other religions, and one only acknowledges what one currently believes in. Such obstacles in the process constantly exist, and when one falls into the difficulty of turning and adapting, it is impossible to escape the constraints of that realm, leading to great predicaments for oneself, which is truly lamentable!
‘Errors are hard to correct’ means that mistakes are difficult to amend, and one often finds oneself in a state of limitation regarding the enhancement of spiritual power. One overestimates one's own spiritual sensitivity and accomplishments, believing that one's mission and task can rival the evolutionary process of heaven and earth, and that one is higher than the heavens and thicker than the earth. This is due to a lack of power between oneself and the celestial, buddhist, and divine spirits.
One tends to promote oneself, and in the human world, it is impossible to improve through human methods. Instead, one relies on divine spirits and views all sentient beings as slaves. It becomes difficult to distinguish one's own actions and deeds, and one cannot realize that one is also one of the sentient beings in the universe.
Divine spirits, in the present, recognize the existence of the mindset of 'self-importance.' It is necessary to embody and clarify the process of 'there are people above people, Dao above Dao, heavens beyond heavens, gods above gods, immortals beyond immortals, and Buddhas above Buddhas.' If one does not hold the spirit of fairness, unity, and universal love towards all things and beings, one will become stubborn and find it difficult to adapt.
One must understand that all beings can be transcended, and whether fairness can be maintained in their elevation. Furthermore, whether all holy immortals, deities, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and divine spirits can be equal without distinction of high or low, great or small, is to be realized through the levels of sentient beings. Regardless of any minute spirit entity, the 'Buddha-nature and True Suchness' is manifested.
Errors are difficult to correct: indeed, misconceptions are hard to change, and in this process, the notion of 'self-righteousness' often takes the lead. Moreover, if one's inflated sense of self cannot lead to genuine elevation, it will fall into a state of insubstantiality and illusion. This is also a result of the tasks and missions bestowed by  Shàngtiān.
Moreover, for each divine spirit, medium, clairvoyant, and spiritually connected individual, there is only learning and growth. Regardless of how exalted a holy Buddha they were in a previous life, they are now in the mundane world.  Shàngcāng can widely nourish the welfare and virtue of all sentient beings.
When observing all divine spirits and spiritually connected individuals at present, if they do not adopt a humble attitude, they may instead become self-important. One must understand that in this world,  Shàngcāng also transforms the spiritual energies of many divine spirits, mediums, and spiritually connected individuals to promote the welfare of sentient beings. How then, should we view their results and effectiveness?
Furthermore, after each divine being descends into the mundane world, whether the tasks and missions they undertake can reach the virtue and grace of  Shàngcāng. If they do not genuinely transform and benefit sentient beings, claiming to be the only one in the world who is supreme and unique undoubtedly shows a lack of understanding of the transformation of the great universe. Each sentient being is under examination and observation.
Errors are difficult to correct: and it is impossible to escape this predicament. Indeed, it is due to one's defiled thoughts, and the electromagnetic thoughts of divine spirits can instill a sense of arrogance in spiritually connected individuals. Observing spiritually connected individuals and divine spirits, it is very difficult to truly experience this, and in the process of the unfolding of heaven and earth, it is due to an inability to thoroughly comprehend the reasons.
This sense of arrogance and behavior will arise. One must understand that the higher the level, the more one should bow one's head, similar to how the more abundant the rice stalks in a human field, the more they bow down. This is guided by a sense of true abundance, and all divine spirits and spiritually connected individuals in heaven and earth must understand and realize the true meaning.
Moreover, whether the functions of divine spirits and mediums are fair and equal. Their effectiveness in the present, if not humble, depends entirely on the guidance of divine spirits. It is difficult to ensure smooth passage in the human world, and many obstacles will be encountered.
Especially in the modern era, the knowledge of this age has greatly increased and become widespread. Indeed, it is like the knowledge explosion that humans speak of. If, in all external matters, one does not base oneself on human ethics but relies solely on divine authority, one's future will undoubtedly fall into a narrow and inflexible predicament.
It is necessary to realize this through experience. The modern era has already entered the world of technological civilization, especially in the 21st century generation, where one must elevate human ethical thinking to a higher level without being blind to the cyclical nature of cause and effect. Promoting the welfare of sentient beings will become more genuine and realistic.
The 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ' is a truthful guide for spirit mediums, spirit communicators, and deities on how to achieve elevation and transcendence. It is necessary to educate and enlighten sentient beings so that the virtues of heaven and earth can be widely disseminated and clarified, thereby transforming and nourishing the welfare of all living things.
The analysis of the evolutionary process of all things in heaven and earth is intended to provide humans with an opportunity for a higher level of transcendence in their mind and spirit. Therefore, in the process of human survival, people often base their actions on their own interests, leading to 'self-attachment and fixation' in the process of nourishing life, which is difficult to transform and becomes a source of trouble.
Whether in cultivation and nourishing life, or in business and family, 'self-attachment and fixation' exists and is difficult to digest, making it impossible to lower oneself and achieve a higher level of realization. The 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ' aims to transform sentient beings, promoting the further elevation of their mind and spirit, and achieving the transcendence of their spiritual nature in a truthful manner.
The concept of self-attachment has already solidified, becoming a flaw that hinders realization.
The unfolding of heaven and earth reveals the love for sentient beings, and by clearly understanding it, the seed of the Way is awakened.
Being self-righteous makes it difficult to change, and the fundamental task is to correct one's mistakes.
Misconceptions are difficult to change and lead to distress, while the construction of the mind method brings one's own troubles.
This verse! I encourage it together with all sentient beings; in this era, achieving a higher level of elevation and transcendence and fully realizing the mission one has inherited is the right path. This is to resolve the difficult situation of misconceptions and to promote the growth and transcendence of all those who receive spiritual obstacles.
##Nanping Daohui Ancient Buddha
Serving in the veneration of the heart and first ascending the platform, the Queen Mother of the West embodies the love for all sentient beings.
Diligently working and writing bit by bit, I am grateful for the books written by the Supreme Heaven.
Today, through the descent of the Eight Immortals Elder - He Xiangu, in the writing of “The Great Dao Mind Method • Chapter 34: Erroneous Misconceptions Are Hard to Reverse,” there is a more realistic analysis of the mental states of all deities and spirit mediums. This is a process through which all sentient beings can gain understanding and experiential realization, thereby elevating and returning themselves, which is the true nature!
##Celestial Emperor of the Second Pass of Wuji
The Southern Sea is inherently pure and natural; the ancient Buddha's compassion is the essence of Zen.
The Great Dao Mind Method is written in the Celestial Book; the process of experiential realization and elucidation is described in detail.
Within the conceptual framework of Yogācāra thought, by entering the construction of one's 'mind nature and heavenly nature,' one can resonate with the wisdom of immortals, Buddhas, and holy deities. Understanding and reflecting on the mind method can elevate one's spiritual and essential nature. This is achieved through the process of one's own cultivation, thereby realizing the overall 'Great Dao Elucidation.'
By entering 'human-centric thinking,' one can gain a thorough understanding and clarity. This ensures that one is not bound by obstacles in the processes of spiritual communication and mediumship, allowing the 'Great Dao Elucidation' to be implemented and comprehensively analyzed. This is to establish compassion, universal love, and equality in the survival process of all sentient beings.
Erroneous Misconceptions Are Hard to Reverse: If one enters a preconceived position, it becomes difficult to change. Moreover, erroneous notions of one's actions and deeds can inflate one's original nature, leading to the suppression of the educational functions of other religions. It is necessary to clearly understand the evolutionary process of all things, which allows one to resonate with deities and possess the ability of mediumship.
If one can fully possess the five supernatural powers and the process of divine manifestation, it is necessary to clearly realize the sentient beings in the vast universe, maintaining universal love, compassion, and equality across all species. This will elevate one's actions and deeds, bringing about growth and protection. This is the grace and favor of the Supreme Heaven.
If one treats all sentient beings in heaven and earth as slaves, this process will inevitably create many evil karmic conditions and lead to the repayment of negative karmic debts. By forming and accepting karmic obstacles, one's conceptual understanding becomes difficult to discern in the context of survival.
As a result, the process of experiential realization and elucidation is hindered by one's arrogant attitude and actions, leading to a decrease and difficulty in resolving spiritual communication abilities and divine mediumship powers. Moreover, if erroneous stubbornness and the concept of 'erroneous misconceptions are hard to reverse' persist, one will be deeply entrenched in all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, making it hard to achieve fairness.
In the human world, for all sentient deities and spirit mediums to realize their supernatural and spiritual powers, they must rely on cultivation and pass through the enlightenment provided by deities to fully possess these powers. The question is how to realize and understand the fairness of the 'Great Dao Elucidation' in relation to oneself and all supernatural and spiritual powers.
And yet! It is merely a temporal function, and absolutely no deity or spirit medium can possess divine and spiritual powers without interruption forever. What, then, should be the conditions? If one can create boundless blessings for sentient beings, it is necessary for deities and spirit mediums to accumulate and increase their 'virtue.'
If this function cannot fully benefit sentient beings, it will instead create boundless sins. Even if deities and spirit mediums possess divine and spiritual powers, they will cause themselves to create sins, karma, and misfortune. This is because they fail to correct their errors and act with a sense of self-importance.
I ask: If compassionate deities and spirit mediums find themselves at such a stage, would you all desire it? Or, if one believes that they are creating blessings for sentient beings and eliminating their karmic obstacles, such actions are based on one's erroneous judgments and are difficult to clarify. On the contrary, they will extend due to incorrect thinking.
The spiritual seeds of the Buddha's children, originally, will create misfortune in this life due to the difficulty in correcting such errors. There will be no reflection or repentance. Instead, they will mistakenly believe that the external world is difficult to comprehend due to their superior mental nature, and the proportion of creating blessings for sentient beings will be low, leading to the creation of 'negative karma' in the process of bestowing blessings and cultivating.
It is necessary to realize the processes of evolution and interpretation in heaven, earth, and the human world. Only then can one apply the Dharma. And! This is both natural and true. In the evolutionary process of the human world, the comfort and well-being of the mental and spiritual nature of sentient beings are constantly being enhanced, whether in the past, present, or future.
The evolution of sentient beings is to create greater well-being for survival, and it is correct to transform all erroneous concepts through this well-being! By realizing the process of the evolution of heaven and earth and further clarifying and verifying it personally, one can dissolve all deceit and manipulation between religions and inevitably realize the fairness of all interpretations.
As a Mahayana practitioner, one must possess the basic concepts and actions necessary to realize the process of the evolution of heaven and earth. Without realizing the process of the evolution of heaven and earth, attempting to realize the process of the evolution of the Infinite, the Void, or the Great Universe will only remain at the level of human interests and personal gains, limited to the function of survival!
Furthermore, all survival functions in the human world also exist to create sins, karma, and misfortune. I ask the sentient beings: If you were to find yourselves in such a state, would you all desire it? It is necessary to realize the process of the evolution of heaven and earth and elevate all mental Dharma to a higher level, not remaining at the general level.
Furthermore, it is difficult to realize the evolution of the Great Dao, and even more so! to use the Dharma to benefit the welfare and virtue of sentient beings, elevate their spirituality, and target the significance of manifesting life. This is the process of the 'evolution of the Great Dao' entering the Lotus Buddha Land Pure Land world in the 21st century, which is the very essence of truth!
The purpose of realizing evolution is unique; heaven and earth dwell compassionately without bias.
All living beings are lovable; a single blade of green grass and a drop of dew.
The manifestation of heaven and earth must be clear; sentient beings support each other.
Equality and universal love in the human world; mutual love and respect among sentient beings.
This verse! It is to be shared and encouraged among sentient beings; as the writing of *Dàodào Xīnfǎ* approaches its conclusion, it can serve as a means for human beings to verify and manifest the truth, fostering mutual love and respect among sentient beings. It also serves as an elevation and transcendence for the spirits, mediums, and spokespersons of the human world.
In the Jade Pool Palace, all is compassion; the Golden Mother is a deity in her own right.
Descendants are elevated to take up their roles; those who have fallen are raised up in two different ways.
Today's writing is by the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea. Can it be verified and serve as a testament to the mental and spiritual nature of sentient beings? I do not know if I can, within this limitation, delve deeper into and clarify the process of manifesting the Great Way, and verify it, with the welfare of all beings in heaven and earth as my guiding principle, rather than merely seeking to benefit life and being preoccupied with gains and losses!
To also create sins, karma, and misdeeds is a losing proposition. It is essential to benefit both one's spiritual nature and survival. This requires transformation through cultivation. Otherwise, no matter how long one has practiced, if there is no improvement, it is undoubtedly difficult to understand one's own role and verification.
Remaining only for the sake of practice, the fundamental nature of the mind and spirit is difficult to elevate. In terms of survival, there can be no increase in blessings. If one's verification is limited to mere survival, it is difficult to achieve a state of perfect transcendence. It is hoped that this will lead to a deeper level of verification, which is the true nature.

##Supreme Teacher of Humanity and Heaven, Original Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha
◆ Main Text ◆
第廿七回　 漏盡神通（一）
Nán Píng Dàojì writes the final chapter; the Ancient Buddha completes the transmission of the heart method.
The Re-enactment of the Great Dao's Teachings: The Virtue of the Great Dao's Heart Method is Boundless
Understanding the process of the Great Dao's enactment means comprehending how sentient beings use the supernatural powers of 'spiritual communication and mediumship' to interact with divine spirits. If one cannot realize the process of the Great Dao's enactment, it is difficult to treat all things in heaven and earth equally, and one's efforts are limited to personal growth, unable to assist sentient beings in transcending.
It is also impossible to understand the process of the Great Dao's enactment without knowing the process of the evolution of heaven and earth. Furthermore, how human beings can elevate themselves, pursue the inexhaustible treasure, and apply it appropriately in the human world can be realized and understood by truly comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao's enactment, thereby practicing equality, universal love, compassion, and virtue.
The process of enactment involves the integration of all living beings, where the human world, the world of all things, heaven and earth, the infinite, the void, and all the stars in the universe each undergo their own evolution and operation. The survival of Earth involves 'rotation and revolution,' which is the evolution of the Great Dao.
Realizing all the effects in the human world means understanding that those who are spiritually attuned and those who are mediums are part of all living beings. No one can escape the limitations of human existence. Moreover, in the process of the evolution of heaven and earth, each being thrives individually and survives through mutual assistance in a community.
If those who are spiritually attuned and those who are divine spirits cannot realize and clearly understand the process of the Great Dao's evolution, it is difficult for them to improve their own shortcomings, and they will only create causes for the cycle of rebirth in this life. For those who create karma, their karmic obstacles will deepen, and they will be unable to improve their habits and faults.
The 'Great Dao Heart Method' provides clarity and realization through the grace of heaven and earth. Moreover, the obstacles of ignorance are self-imposed. It is often the case that ignorance and obstacles are highlighted, but it is necessary to truly recognize the reality of existence. By understanding and realizing the Heart Method, one can make improvements, and the Heart Method is the root of all primary causes and conditions.
The Law of the Heart is the Law of all things. The heart can achieve and can also fail. The heart can also neither achieve nor fail. Whether all living beings can realize the Heart Method depends on correcting past errors and misconceptions. This is the transformation of the self, becoming the driving force of this life, and inevitably contributing to this world.
The Heart Method involves enabling those who are spirit mediums, those who are spiritually attuned, and those who are divine spirits, along with all related individuals in this world, to deeply understand and realize the process of the evolution of heaven and earth. In all processes of the human world, one should not hold the mindset of 'only I am supreme,' but rather, inevitably use one's spiritual and divine powers to bring virtue to sentient beings.
One should not use the realm of supernatural powers to create karma, sin, or suffering. The supernatural and spiritual powers and mind consciousness can directly connect to the Supreme Heaven without any difference. By inheriting the scope of spiritual power, one can achieve greater causes and conditions in this opportunity and understand how to act in one's own actions and deeds.
The Daodao Series of Heavenly Books has now reached its tenth volume, allowing for a deeper exploration of the Daodao series. It provides a more profound understanding of the overall process of 'True Non-action' (真無為), ensuring that one does not create karma by entering a religion, which is an educational and cultural institution in the human world.
Those who cannot transform themselves may enter a religion and consider themselves 'true cultivators,' but in reality, they are merely believers, and there is still a great distance from true cultivation and practice. Some even become religious sinners within the religion, held back by ignorance and stubbornness, making transformation and change difficult.
A deeper understanding of the overall process of the Daodao's evolution is correct. The original intention of the writings of 'Chongxin Hall' (崇心堂) is to provide an educational and cultural program for all sentient beings, without involving any religious sect. Good and evil, right and wrong, correct and incorrect, and righteous and evil should not be self-imposed limitations in the human world.
Understanding and clearly knowing the evolution of the Daodao leads to the achievement and transcendence of one's original spirit. One should remove obstacles within their self-awareness, and to do this, they should adopt a 'half-filled bucket' mindset and behavior, integrating with all sentient beings on earth. This is the true nature, aligning with the overall process of the evolution of heaven and earth, and not creating sin.
The essence of the Daodao's heart method is the elevation and discernment of the spirits and mediums of the sentient heavens and earth. Observing the evolutionary process from an objective perspective and doing so within that perspective prevents one from falling into a difficult-to-extricate situation or becoming trapped in a deep pit and feeling self-satisfied. Moreover, one should avoid the illusion of having great merit.
Unbeknownst to many, all spirits and mediums are interconnected, and cause and effect are related. It is necessary to conduct a deeper analysis of the arrogant attitudes and erroneous thoughts towards spirits and mediums, transforming oneself, being humble, and thoroughly examining and analyzing all bad habits and behaviors.
One should objectively transcend and return to the spirit mediums and divine spirits of sentient beings. Some people mistakenly believe that they should return to the holy lineage of the Rational Heaven and Buddha Spirit, but instead end up in the painful realm of the netherworld to atone for their sins. By then, regret will be of no use. This is the main concept that must be clearly understood for one to grow, develop, and transcend.
Through the writings of 'Chongxin' (崇心), the 'Daodao Series of Books' (大道系列叢書) is propagated throughout the world. It enables sentient beings to observe the sentient beings of heaven and earth from an objective perspective, free from preconceived notions, and to enter the overall process of the Daodao's evolution, thereby avoiding the decline into the Five Turbidities and Evil World.
And truly returning and transcending is a responsibility to one's present life and to one's spirituality. It is important to prevent one's ignorance and all limitations regarding divine spirits, spirit mediums, mediums, and the invisible spokespersons of the human world. This leads to the creation of boundless blessings and the receipt of endless grace.
The Daodao's evolution is clear, and the true meaning of the spirit medium's heart method is explicit.
The divine spirits come to form a bond; the virtue of sentient beings is incomparable.
Through causes and conditions, one accumulates merit and virtue in this life; one can clearly perceive the principles of ascending and descending.
Through embodied realization and logical deduction, one corrects errors; one establishes the principles of mind and body.
This verse! It is to be mutually encouraged with all sentient beings; to clearly realize and embody the process of the Great Dao and the evolution of heaven and earth, without creating sin and karma in the human world, and to understand the cycle of cause and effect and the origins of karmic obstacles, is true reality. Through virtue, one can gain boundless benefits and achieve one's own elevation and transcendence.

第廿七回　 漏盡神通（一）
The Holy Emperor of the Second Gate ascends the platform; transcending and realizing the fruit, he attains freedom.
The beginning and end of causes and conditions are set in time; the accomplishment of sentient beings is the primary matter.
Today, the Master writes of the immortals and buddhas, as the ancient Buddha Nán Píng Dào Jì descends to write the thirty-sixth chapter of 'The Heart Method of the Great Dao,' which serves as a direct resource for the elevation of sentient beings in the human world. It is here and now that they are accomplished. This is the gateway to ascending and growing beyond the human world. To achieve this, one must make efforts.
The process of the Great Dao's evolution clearly combines mind nature and spiritual nature, avoiding difficult situations. By embodying and understanding the profound mysteries of the Great Dao and the true evolutionary process of heaven and earth, sentient beings can more realistically ascend and transcend. By grasping this cause and condition, one can dissolve all obstacles of ignorance.

##Great Accomplished Sage and Venerable Teacher Confucius
##Yahweh
The teacher of humans and gods instructs the multitude of beings; the original teacher Śākyamuni enlightens the intrinsic spirit.
The Buddha Master Móu Ní descends to the Chóng Xīn Hall, completes 'The Heart Method of the Great Dao,' and provides the concluding guidance.
Postscript One
The Dàodào Series: To date, ten volumes have been completed. During this period, numerous celestial deities, immortals, and holy buddhas have painstakingly contributed to the writings, spanning several years of temporal and spatial existence. All interpretations aim to elevate the 'original spirit' of sentient beings, and even more so, to manifest the buddha-nature of sentient beings, guiding them away from the whirlpool of decline.
One can transform oneself in this lifetime through cultivation. By providing correct guidance for all resources and learning available to sentient beings, and by guiding their minds and natures back to their original state, survival and cultivation naturally merge. This allows for a true and clear realization and thorough understanding, from which sentient beings can benefit.
The Yìchì Chóngxīntáng: In the Dàodào Series, there is no distinction of right or wrong, good or evil, or any sectarian bias. It provides a correct and comprehensive direction, enabling sentient beings to cultivate and elevate to deeper levels, which is essential for understanding the role of the 'Great Way' and growing oneself.
By passing through the human world and applying the 'Mind Dharma,' sentient beings can be guided to success. The Mind Dharma is also used to transform the human world, allowing for the true manifestation of the present life. This can dissolve the karmic consequences of past lives, enabling one to enter the Lotus Buddha Land of the 21st century unburdened. The Master also awaits everyone in the Lotus Buddha Land, guiding sentient beings to return.

Postscript Two
The foundation of human morality leads to the accomplishment of sentient beings and should not deviate from the methods that nourish life, with survival as the ultimate reliance. In the human world, this process is rooted in the mutual integration of causes and conditions for survival. One must realize that if religious practice is solely for the sake of survival, it will be difficult to truly transform one's karmic obstacles.
In the process of all survival in this world, many obstacles and difficulties will increase. If one understands that practice can compensate for the insufficiencies of survival, it becomes clear that practice should not be done merely for the sake of practice. ‘Transformation and elevation’ is the correct approach, and the heart method is the fundamental driving force of practice.
"The Heart Method of the Great Dao" is intended for the transformation of all sentient beings. However, if one struggles to embody and realize the application of this heart method, and instead merely focuses on its manifestations, in ancient times this could be handled with ease. Yet, due to the ignorance of sentient beings, it becomes difficult for them to embody and realize it, often leading to fear and apprehension. If such an approach is still employed today, it will hardly yield any efficacy or benefit for sentient beings.
"The Dharma of the Great Dao" truthfully removes the illusory shadows of the mind. By nurturing the nature of sentient beings and cultivating their conceptual consciousness seeds, it creates room for upward growth. It is essential to comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao's evolution, so as not to remain confined within the human realm, forever entangled and bound by the cycles of karma and karmic obstacles. One must be able to transcend in order to attain true reality.

Postscript Three
The process of cosmic evolution allows sentient beings to follow a path, and the virtue bestowed upon the sentient beings of the earth lies in the process that enables them to understand all the illusory transformations of the mind. If they cannot truly comprehend this, it becomes a form of harm in the space where sentient beings live, and it is necessary to invoke the true meaning of cosmic evolution, which is the essence of reality.
All sentient beings can understand the true meaning of cosmic evolution and derive genuine motivation from it. By comprehending and knowing the evolutionary process of the earth, one can recognize that, regardless of any religious lineage, it is merely a function of education and learning, and one should not belittle or slander the educational effects of other religions.
To avoid the entanglement of karmic causes and effects in the future and to make it difficult to return, one should elevate and transcend as originally intended by the Supreme Heaven. One should not create negative karma from goodness within religion, becoming a sinner of religion and increasing many opportunities for creating karma. This is quite regrettable and must be guarded against!
The 'Great Learning' and 'Doctrine of the Mean' are the driving forces of Confucian thought. In the present era, 'Great Learning' is considered the highest institution of learning, and in ancient times, the apricot altar, which is today's academy, should have those who 'learn the great' with unique insights. If it is difficult to 'learn the great,' it remains only in what has been learned and used.
Not only is it difficult to be useful to oneself, but it is also difficult to be useful to sentient beings, and it is no longer possible to utilize one's strengths to nourish sentient beings. Therefore, the 'Great Learning' and 'Doctrine of the Mean' can truly serve as educational courses for the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and Confucian thought should be introduced into the human world without bias or attachment.
Indeed, the concept of the Middle Way is to be unbiased and is called 'the center.' This is the true embodiment and application of reality, and the practice of mind methods is the best process of clear understanding, allowing sentient beings to have a foundation for growth and reliance.

Postscript　Four
Observing the vast universe, the moral state of humanity has sunk, and the dark energy of the earth has obscured the heavens. This is an era of yin dominance and yang decline, and the Lord of Heaven desires to stem this tide, allowing humanity to return to a clear and prosperous age, providing nourishment for the survival of all beings by making faith their foundation, cultivation their transformation, and learning their growth.
It is necessary to practice 'fairness, justice, public-mindedness, public virtue, and public action,' and to love all sentient beings in heaven and earth with universal love. By doing so, all things can be equal, and every species of sentient beings can have the right to coexist and live in peace, leading to greater prosperity and mutual support for all life.
Heavenly Father: By descending and transforming all religions, it is possible to integrate all races of humanity in the vast universe, regardless of east, west, south, north, or center. Moreover, without distinguishing between you and me, the differences in race allow sentient beings to coexist peacefully in this world, and the compression of time and space brings us closer together.
In the past, such conditions did not exist. Today, the ends of the earth are as close as neighbors, and the transformation of time and space no longer allows for contention and deceit between you and me. This is the least desirable aspect of the hearts and minds of all beings. Heavenly Father: By having the beings of the vast universe learn and grow through the religions applicable to their localities, harmonious coexistence can be achieved.
Each religion's strengths should be brought to bear to benefit all sentient beings in the vast universe, thereby eliminating the barriers and gaps between religions. In education and transformation, this is the truth, and the 'highest realm of mind practice' is the equality of all beings, all things, all religions, all faiths, and all inherent natures. I pray! I pray! Amen!

In the year of Xin Si, on the seventh day of the intercalary fourth month, at the hour of Dog
All living beings are imbued with sentiment; it is rare to see them welcome each other in this life.
Silently performing good deeds creates the causes for the future; virtue pervades all sentient beings, leading them to return to their original causes.
Epilogue　Five
The Great Dao: It is the natural and true meaning of the operation, whereby the revolution and rotation of planets can be positioned, allowing sentient beings in heaven and earth to coexist peacefully. If the human world encounters invasion or damage from other planets, will sentient beings still engage in mutual attacks and wars, and what will be the outcome?
As such, it is certain that the opposition between you and me can be transcended. By bringing the moral grace of the Great Dao down to the human world and experiencing the process of its evolution and interpretation, the thoughts of sentient beings can certainly be elevated. Moreover, by guiding the consciousness of peace, the disputes and chaos among sentient beings can be eliminated, and the moral grace of the Great Dao can enable them to coexist.
The Heart Dharma: It is precisely the necessary method for the survival of all beings. Not only can it enable those who are spiritually connected and divine to experience the process of the evolution and interpretation of the Great Dao, but it also eliminates the opposition between you and me, preventing religious wars that could affect the comfortable living spaces of sentient beings.
The current era has entered the early 21st century, and everything is still in its beginning stages. The future of human hearts depends on the fundamental nature of education and culture. If the principles of fairness and justice are not spread to educate the sentient world, wars will continue. Therefore, in response to the heavens, the true teachings of religion have been initiated.
Moreover, nourishment also influences the occurrence of disasters, and it can prevent the continuation of the evil and greedy thoughts and the rigid beliefs of sentient beings. This can allow the 'Heart Dharma of the Great Dao' to be integrated into the earth, eliminating all disputes and wars. This is indeed a great fortune for humanity! For all things! For heaven and earth! For the Infinite! For the Void! For the Great Universe!

1. The Great Way of Non-action: It is precisely the evolution of all human beings and living creatures, as well as all things in the vast universe, to serve as a guideline for their survival, making the great universe more comfortable and enabling a clearer understanding of the true meaning, thus promoting cultivation, transformation, and growth.
2. Mind Dharma: It is transmitted through the divine in the mundane world, granting the ability to communicate with spirits, to those who are mediums, spirit channels, and righteous spirit writers, allowing them to transcend and enabling all beings in heaven and earth to resolve karmic causes and effects accumulated over many lifetimes.
3. Interpretation: The essence of evolution lies in the learning and growth of sentient beings, serving as a process of embodiment and exploration, allowing one to personally experience and understand all the processes of human life.
4. The Great Way Mind Dharma: It involves a subtle analysis of this kind of spiritual power, ensuring that one does not fall into the depths of sin through the use of spiritual abilities, and enabling the resolution of past karmic causes and effects in this process.
5. If spiritual power is used wisely, it can greatly benefit all sentient beings in the vast universe, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted benefits, and fostering virtue and merit. If it is used to commit sins and accumulate evil karma, it will inevitably accelerate the process of retribution and resolution.
Six, the essence of divine spirits: In alleviating the difficulties of sentient beings, one must also embody and clarify. Sometimes, allowing human beings to personally experience the retribution of karma is truly a means of elevating and transforming them, achieving a harmonious resolution between divine spirits, karma creators, and those who suffer injustice.
Seven, the facilitation of causes and conditions: Regardless of any circumstances, one must not deviate from the principle of cause and effect or the laws of the Great Dao’s evolution. Only then can there be mutual integration and a holistic manifestation.
Eight, the authorship of the 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ' is such that divine spirits with sentiment should not use their divine powers to favor those who create injustice. Instead, they should ensure a fair resolution for those who suffer injustice, thereby achieving completeness.
Nine, the 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ' provides the resources and impetus to transform the mental and spiritual obstacles of sentient beings, offering unique benefits for their elevation and ensuring the long-lasting and continuous welfare of human beings.
Ten, the promulgation of the 'Dàodào Xīnfǎ' is imminent. To achieve a greater manifestation of 'Chóngxīn Yīnyuán,' it is necessary to understand all its implications, thereby enabling sentient beings to gain deeper insight and cherish it. It is hoped that those who assist in its publication will increase their blessings and wisdom and eliminate their karmic obstacles. If there are any prayers, the Supreme Heaven will consider and manifest them.

The Pure Land of the Real Treasure of Emptiness, the Colorful Spirits and Chóngxīn in mutual accord
The Immortal Lady ascends the platform to meet the virtuous beings, descending to complete the book’s preface and conclusion
Today, the six great religious leaders and venerables from Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and other traditions have descended to complete the work of the *Dàodào Xīnfǎ* and to provide annotations for the postscript and preface. This allows sentient beings to understand clearly and to conduct a precise analysis of the causal conditions of the *Dàodào Xīnfǎ*, and it enables both the spiritual beings of the earth and the mediums and psychics of the human world to realize the formation of karmic retribution, thereby eliminating the cycle of karmic obstacles for all sentient beings.
Furthermore, if sentient beings transform themselves in this lifetime, they can dissolve all obstacles of ignorance and surely advance to a deeper level of transcendence. We hope that today’s work will contribute to the construction of the ‘mind nature and spirit nature’ of sentient beings, so that they do not create evil or sin in the present and can instead grow, return, and transcend to higher realms.

Imperial Edict of the Empress Mother of the Infinite Heaven, to be read aloud
Reverently received
The Empress Mother of the Infinite Heaven, the Great Celestial Venerable, decrees:
Residing in the Holy Land of the Principle Heaven, I have repeatedly observed the multitude of fallen spiritual children in the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa. They find it difficult to achieve clarity and realization in the 'Great Dao Heart Method.' Often, their self-consciousness expands, and they struggle to elevate their thoughts and intentions, thus frequently creating karmic obstacles that entangle them.
Moreover, they are unable to escape this predicament and often cannot overcome these obstacles. My heart grieves for the fallen spiritual children who cannot return to the truth. I frequently ponder how to elevate and guide them to return to the Infinite Principle Heaven and achieve transcendental enlightenment. This is my earnest wish!
Now, by the imperial edict of my heart, the Chongxin Hall has completed the writing of the 'Great Dao Heart Method,' the tenth volume of the Great Dao series, and has submitted it to fulfill the imperial decree. My heart is greatly comforted, and I should reward the Chongxin Hall's deities, spirits, and children for their contributions to the Great Dao, allowing them to truly elevate and achieve success.
The Great Dao Heart Method: For those with special karmic connections in the human world, whether they are divine spirits, spiritually enlightened beings, etc., it is correct to understand that not violating the law of cause and effect in its cyclical nature is the right path. My heart especially commends this, and I bestow a pot of divine nectar to be mixed in the tea, to reward the steadfast resolve of the deities and spirits.
Chongxin has achieved this holy mission with steadfast resolve, which is worthy of commendation. The fruits of their labor will be recorded in the heavens, and when the time of accomplishment and enlightenment comes in the future, even greater rewards will be bestowed. This resolve is sufficient to complete the duties of the heavens, fulfilling their responsibilities and representing the correctness of Chongxin's holy mission and mission, revealing many profound celestial secrets to the human world!

Confucian Sacred Teachings, True Buddha Heart Sect, Infinite Great Dao Academy, Imperially Commanded Chongxin Hall
In the year Xin Si of the Heavenly Cycle, on the tenth day of the intercalary Mei month, at the hour of Dog
Well! The imperial edict has been issued. I respectfully congratulate all the deities and people of this hall, as well as the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wují Dàodào Academy, who have truly received the weighty mandate of the Heavens and are worthy of being role models! Everyone has worked hard. I will return to Wují quickly to submit the edict.
The Great Chairman of the Southern Heaven, the Virtuous Saint Emperor Wén Héng, is awaited by the multitude for his virtue.
The tenth volume of the Dàodào series, the completion of the Dàodào Heart Method.
Tonight! Returning to Chóngxīn Hall from the Southern Heaven, this is a most auspicious and favorable moment to submit the completed Dàodào Heart Method. Truly, it brings me joy and comfort, as each volume has been able to guide the minds and elevate the spirits of all beings with genuine truth. Now the time has come! It is proper to respectfully receive the Jade Edict in the hall.
I command the Second and Third Pass Emperors of our lineage, as well as Living Buddha Jì Gōng, to receive the carriage twenty miles away. I also command the Heavenly Holy Mother, Guānshìyīn Bodhisattva, and Pǔxián Bodhisattva of our lineage to receive the carriage ten miles away. The remaining deities, people, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wují Dàodào Academy should line up in order to await the carriage, without any breach of etiquette, to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven arriving at the hall.
The imperial envoy brings the Jade Edict, and the Venerable Luó Tiān descends to issue the imperial decree.
The Dàodào Heart Method is completed, and further efforts and perseverance are encouraged.
Respectfully bearing the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven, I descend to issue it at Chóngxīn Hall, where all deities and people bow down.
The Jade Edict is opened and read.
Respectfully Received
The Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Venerable, the Profound and Luminous Supreme Deity, decrees:
I, residing in the supreme position of the Nine-Five, hold the authority to elevate and demote the five teachings. Especially in the Confucian tradition, which proclaims the teachings on behalf of Heaven, I have many expectations. It is hoped that the benevolent human beings can understand the 'truth of the evolution of the Great Dao' and the 'clear functioning of the mind method,' thereby enabling them to ascend and transcend.
Furthermore, they can repay their past karmic causes and effects, which is a means to bring blessings to sentient beings, allowing them to continuously ascend and transcend their own limitations. Therefore, I hereby command the Yi Ci Chongxin Hall to author a complete series of the Great Dao books, serving as a model for guiding and elucidating the true principles, which is indeed a rare and commendable achievement.
Now, the tenth volume 'Great Dao Mind Method' has been completed, addressing the difficulties and constraints of sentient beings, enabling their transformation and elevation. This is in accordance with the benevolence of Heaven towards sentient beings. The book should be completed and the decree fulfilled, and the merit should be rewarded. Therefore, this merit is specially recorded in the Yellow Register of Heaven to announce it to the world.
In the future, when the actual fruits of merit are realized, the divine beings and humans of Chongxin will all benefit from this benevolence, aligning with the elevation of sentient human beings. Moreover, the Chongxin lineage will be praised and affirmed, and under the guidance of numerous deities and Buddhas, the truth of the return to heaven and earth can be created, enabling the elevation and transcendence of sentient beings.

the Confucian Holy Teaching, the True Buddha Mind Sect, the Wujiji Great Dao Academy, and the Yi Ci Chongxin Hall

The decree has been issued. I respectfully congratulate the Chongxin Daoist venue for their works, which have earned the praise and affirmation of Heaven. This not only encourages the efforts of the Chongxin virtuous practitioners but also commends the diligent guidance of the deities and Buddhas. Congratulations! Congratulations! I return to Heaven to fulfill the decree.
The Chief Master of the Human and Celestial Sect, the Venerable Xukong, venerates the heart and mind.
The Great Dao Heart Method has been completed; the imperial edicts have been presented and the administration is now in order.
Good evening, all virtuous students. Tonight, we respectfully receive the Wují Edict and the Haotian Jade Decree to be promulgated with reverence. Therefore, we begin the preparations for the eleventh volume of the Great Dao Series, and in the next session, we will continue to receive and write the Edicts and Jade Decrees.
We hope that all the divine beings and humans of our lineage, as well as the spirit cultivation academicians of the Wují Great Dao Academy, will embody the heart of heaven and promote the teachings, serving as vanguards for the transformation by the Supreme Heaven, and be fully capable, striving to achieve perfection, beauty, and responsibility.
The Great Dao Heart Method will be presented on the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the year Xin Si, in celebration of the birthday of the Great Chairman, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Wenheng Shengdi. Therefore, all students of this hall are instructed to put in extra effort and not to delay; we look forward to it! We look forward to it!
