Dadao Series — Book 15
English Edition · 大道無極
◆ Prefaces ◆
In the fifteenth volume of the Dadao series, *The Limitless Dao*, sentient beings in the human world, while making choices for survival, inevitably adopt various methods for growth and development. The continuous refinement and elevation of all functional benefits for the survival of sentient beings' primordial spirits through successive cycles of reincarnation are governed and commanded by the Limitless.
Most of these are undertaken in accordance with the Sacred Decree of Wuji and the Daoist Decrees of the Three Pure Ones for the purpose of descending and transforming. This condition of karma is under the unified leadership of the Wuji Heavenly Realm, meaning that the Wuji Principle Heaven performs greater acts of fulfillment. The human world is guided and supervised in an integrated manner by the Wuji Principle Heaven, which also addresses how sentient beings and original spirits can achieve elevation and transcendence.
Wuji—thus unifies and leads all primordial spirits to descend and transform the primordial land. From the perspective of Jambudvīpa, this truly serves as the condition for unified leadership. All spiritual beings that govern the myriad sentient beings—whether sentient or non-sentient, movable or immovable—are subject to the guiding and ruling function of Wuji.
Granting numerous sentient beings and primordial spirits the opportunity for elevation within the human world inevitably involves the crucial test of survival orientation. This then leads to cultivation within religious traditions, which holds true for all five major teachings—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. It may be said that through the karmic connection of "one flower with five petals," each has merely evolved into a distinct lineage, carrying forward its own tradition.
Such conditions have existed within the Earth's star system for over two thousand years, serving as a legacy of educational and cultural curricula. Moreover, they have provided a substantial and enduring force of transmission for all those who have entered religious practice in the past. Now, after nearly two millennia, how do these conditions stand in the present?
If time could be turned back, would we choose a different method to guide humanity? Having inherited over two thousand years of educational culture, how should we approach all past educational curricula—should we start anew? Yet doing so would negate the enduring legacy of teachings left by the sages of the five major religions in the mortal world.
From the perspective of the human world, this is not an advisable course of action. It is essential to understand how, through religious faith, one can enter into a state of equal function, enabling sentient beings to achieve elevation through successive cycles of reincarnation and transformation. This is not an empty ideal or mere lofty talk, but a practical path capable of fostering genuine growth and elevation.
One must understand how to break down the "self-centered and impure ideologies" of various religions! It is essential to establish a fairly comprehensive framework of thought, which can then be employed to elevate and transcend the sentient beings and primordial spirits through teaching. This approach aims to foster virtuous growth among religious believers in the human world, while also enabling them to ascend and surpass their current state.
The Mission of the Ultimate—to carry forward the legacy, bestowing upon all sentient primordial spirits of this era the ability to enter into religion, transforming all past innate dispositions and ingrained habits. Not only does it create the conditions for reincarnation to foster greater growth, but it also enables sentient primordial spirits to easily attain the elevation of "Nirvana—extinction of suffering—passing away" within a single lifetime.
Regarding Nirvana: It is precisely through the conceptual framework derived from Buddhist terminology that one can comprehend how, within Nirvana, "samsara is transcended." Although the terms used by various religions in the human world differ, their meanings are entirely identical. They also reveal that a human's past life is understood through the event of death.
How can one reform and elevate all the negative dispositions and ingrained habits accumulated over a lifetime? This process of transformation must be approached with genuine relevance and clarity. Without understanding how to elevate oneself through each temporal and spatial stage within the cycle of rebirth, it becomes impossible to guide sentient beings toward achieving transformative progress through successive cycles of reincarnation.
The potential for greater growth lies precisely in the necessity of not skipping over the conditions of survival. Because sentient beings in the human world all endure considerable suffering, it is rare for anyone to live from birth to old age without any hardship. This forms the very foundation of all living conditions for humanity, which are merely a continuous repetition of the same cycles.
This is because: the affluent have the sufferings of the affluent; ordinary beings also have the sufferings of ordinary beings; the poor have the sufferings of the poor. Observing this situation in the human world, it is precisely through enduring such torment and hardship that one inevitably gains profound, unforgettable insights and becomes willing to undertake transformation.
If one were to pass through life in a state of constant ease, or with little hardship, it would be quite difficult for such a person to truly comprehend the sufferings of birth, aging, sickness, and death—all the torments, setbacks, helplessness, and slander... Only with a genuine intention to elevate and transform oneself can one truly benefit from these experiences.
It is precisely because of the reliance on all religious objects of faith that, in applying the efficacy of faith itself, one undergoes a significant transformation of one's inherent temperament and habits! How then can one immerse oneself in this reliance on faith, fostering the growth of one's heart and spirit, without straying from the nourishment of life?

June 27, 2003, the twenty-eighth day of the fifth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Diligent and courageous, without negligence or oversight, may it be completed and promulgated soon to benefit the world, widely guiding all souls to return, transcend, and ascend to the ultimate bliss.
◆ Prefaces ◆
Interpretation—It is precisely through the inheritance of education and culture that one is guided into the growth of evolution, for the human world is the very dividing line between the ascent and descent of life. If sentient beings, the original spirits, can ascend yet choose not to, they will remain stagnant, unable to discern their future purpose or comprehend the entirety of the journey ahead.
Thus, it can compensate for all fundamental functions and effects, yet it does not truly exist, allowing transformation through the evolution of thought. This process can be achieved through repeated cycles of variation and refinement, elevating oneself into a significant role, advancing into religious faith for elevation, and through the process of variation, entering into the transformation of thought for growth.
In the "Deduction," it is precisely the driving force of evolution within the unfolding process, and all actions never deviate from the threshold of human survival. This addresses the current era, where all primordial beings can enter the process of transformation, drawing upon accumulated past experiences as a driving force for elevation. Through this kind of cause and condition, growth and elevation become possible.
Under such conditions, the function of thought precisely achieves the conditions for evolutionary causes through deduction. It is because of evolution that creation can occur. The original driving force of such creation is to improve the fundamental conditions necessary for human survival, making it both authentic and aptly suited to the present moment of existence.
Conditions for Evolution—this involves transforming all past accumulated habits to achieve elevation. Regardless of innate temperament or acquired tendencies, both comfort and hardship encountered in survival are utilized to foster growth through evolutionary creation. Only after embracing religious faith can one genuinely achieve greater growth and elevation of "mind and spirituality."
Why is it necessary to establish the moral influence of educational and cultural courses? This process is by no means something that falls from the sky, nor can it skip any stage of the environment. It must proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each stage, in order to be realized in the present moment, without bypassing the fundamental aspect of human survival.
How can we attain greater space and environment for growth? This is the fundamental requirement of Heaven, and the basic role and mindset that sentient beings in the current era should possess. It is essential to understand how, through taking each step firmly and leaving a solid footprint with every move, we can steadily progress, ultimately achieving transcendence and providing humanity with the means for upward growth.
The School of the Revered Heart—it is precisely through this karmic connection that, over millions of years, the well-being of the human world has been anchored. Thus, to be human as humans, one must not deviate from the moral, ethical, and spiritual principles of the human realm. This brings genuine and substantial virtue and grace to oneself and all primordial spirits, descending to benefit the present world.
It does not emerge out of thin air; rather, it is shaped by a specific time, environment, process, and space—all very tangible factors—and is deeply ingrained in the heart. Only then can it serve as a model for the human world, ensuring that future generations do not leapfrog the essential stages of existence or focus solely on spiritual transcendence.
Moreover, it even obscures the construction of the physical body and the mind-nature. How, then, can one elevate through the three aspects of "mind-nature, spirituality, and existence"? Achievement must be attained under these conditions, making it clear that the grace of Heaven and the sacred duties are chosen by humanity itself. Heaven merely acts in accordance with each individual's will, descending to assist in their fulfillment.
Sentient beings, in their pursuit of spiritual clarity, must establish a genuine resonance with the divine or celestial frequencies to connect with the heavens or enlightened beings. Only through this mutual attunement can they awaken past accumulations or adjust their cultivation through present learning processes, thereby accumulating experiences for growth.
In the course of existence, if one can establish a spiritual connection with Heaven and the celestial beings, it will prompt a process of reflection: how can this be realized in practice? One must genuinely "live as a human being," not "act as a deity." Only by adhering to this principle and practicing it truthfully can one avoid falling into a state that is difficult to transform.
Sentient beings often encounter situations where, while connecting with immortals and Buddhas, a long-term trust must be established. It should be "treating humans as humans," not "treating humans as gods." Under such circumstances, if one does not face setbacks and adversities as trials, it would indeed be strange, and it would also be difficult to resolve predicaments.
Wuji—it is precisely by issuing numerous decrees that descend to the mortal realm, regardless of whether they belong to: the Mother Goddess system, the Queen Mother system, the Compassionate Grace system, the Heavenly Dao system, the Luanmen system... among too many systems, all are intended to allow sentient beings to make their own choices, selecting a religion that sparks greater interest, for the purpose of learning, growth, and practice.
In the human world, many people choose to study religious educational and cultural courses based on their own interests. This is a great opportunity bestowed by Heaven upon sentient beings, not limited to just one or two religious sects. However, it is not enough to merely engage with religions one likes or is interested in; one must also step into the practice of their teachings.

By imperial decree, the boundless divine will descends upon the Chongxin Hall to proclaim its edict; gods and mortals bow in reverence!
Imperial Decree: Proclaim and Read
By Imperial Command
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
Our Mother resides in the celestial realm of supreme bliss, ever mindful of all her children who have descended to the southern continent of Jambudvipa. She earnestly hopes that they may transcend and return within a single lifetime. Thus, she has repeatedly issued sacred decrees and appointed various religious sects to undertake this holy mission. This is especially true for her beloved children within the Buddhist and Taoist traditions, for whom she holds an even deeper and more fervent expectation.
At present, certain religions have achieved remarkable results in their efforts to guide and transform sentient beings, which can be considered quite impressive. All of these accomplishments are evaluated and recognized by the Heavenly Realm. It is truly gratifying to see that various religions can draw upon and integrate each other's strengths to further propagate their teachings. Such outstanding achievements within the human world are indeed commendable.
The Mother's Heart naturally bestows greater virtuous affinities upon all those in Jambudvipa who, through their karmic connections, are able to enter religious practice for learning and growth. Such favorable conditions are conferred by the Heavenly Mother's Heart. Now, the Yichong Xintang in Taoyuan, Taiwan, since its establishment in the Bingzi year, has received the decree to compile the Dadao series of books, which has now reached a considerable level of completion.
Facing each volume of these works, we further employ the true principles to descend and transform the sentient world of mortal dust, granting all children greater opportunities for growth and more complete, harmonious achievements. This does not come from empty promises; it is accomplished through the steadfast dedication and fulfilled duties of the Chongxin Sect lineage. To date, this marks the fifteenth volume authored in accordance with the sacred decree.
It is appropriate to bestow this upon Chongxin, to achieve even greater accomplishments in the future, guiding more sentient beings to return. Therefore, it is titled *The Infinite Great Dao*. Upon receiving this decree, the work shall commence immediately, with Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji and Ancient Buddha Namo Randeng appointed as the principal immortals and buddhas, accompanied by other exalted beings from the three realms as supporting immortals and buddhas.
It should be acknowledged that the integration of the three teachings sharing the same origin and the five religions sharing the same source is the original intention revealed in *The Great Dao Is Boundless*. Moreover, without distinction, all religious traditions—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and others—are equally and collectively united as the "Boundless Great Dao," which grows and bears witness to this truth.

Gratefully receiving the Empress Mother's sacred decree, we await the further divine mandate from the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven.
Today marks another significant expansion of the sacred mission of Chongxin. By consistently upholding the Great Dao, it provides a greater foundation of causes and conditions for growth to all sentient beings in the vast world, as well as to the virtuous disciples of the Chongxin lineage. It is only within Chongxin that such an opportunity and affinity arise, enabling not only everyone to achieve accomplishment but also allowing all sentient beings to attain fulfillment.
We have just reverently received the sacred decree from the Wuji realm and should now offer our gratitude to the heavens and the master's grace for this bestowed honor, as well as thank all celestial immortals and buddhas for their care and support. Shortly, we will further receive the jade decree from the Heavenly Court, commanding the dispatch of our lineage's deities—the Wuji Mysterious Heaven Supreme Emperor, the Wuji Director of Fate True Lord, and the Wuji City God Emperor—to welcome the imperial carriage twenty li away.

The August Heaven dispatches an envoy to descend upon the Chongxin, with the Mighty Spirit Official serving as the guiding master.
Receiving the Great Dao to propagate and expand, fulfilling the perfection of countless spirits anew.
Imperial Decree of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven descends to the Chongxin Hall to be promulgated, with gods and mortals prostrating in reverence!
Imperial Decree, Proclaimed and Read
Respectfully Received
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystical Divinity, proclaims by His sacred decree:
I, the supreme sovereign, bear the responsibility of evaluating and regulating all religions, issuing decrees to provide guidance. Particularly in Jambudvīpa, as we gradually enter an era of technological civilization, it is appropriate to adopt more innovative methods to elevate and fulfill sentient beings. In the present age, this approach better aligns with the preferences and aspirations of all living beings.
Now, some religious sects have already achieved this level of accomplishment, and they possess a good philosophy that can foster virtuous conduct among ordinary people. For the sentient beings in the mundane world, this is truly a great opportunity brought about by favorable conditions—a manifestation of blessings and virtue. Although such virtuous merits and auspicious connections have been achieved, when viewed as a whole, they remain insufficient.
All are immersed in the turbid and evil world of the five impurities. Moreover, after entering the mundane realm, they are deluded by the illusory scenes of human existence, finding it difficult to escape from their suffering. Thus, they remain trapped in the cycle of rebirth within the human world of the mundane. This is the choice made by sentient beings themselves—what can be done? Only through sincere and diligent effort to change can there be genuine improvement and growth in goodness!
By Imperial Decree, the Chongxin Sect Lineage: The creation of the Great Dao series has already demonstrated genuine efficacy and benefit, precisely aiming to construct and guide a beacon of light for sentient beings of the future to escape suffering and hardship, ultimately leading them to achieve their goals. Now, as the fifteenth volume of the Great Dao series is being composed, it is fitting to bestow the Jade Decree to ensure its accomplishment.
My heart is greatly pleased. I have inscribed its cover with the title "The Celestial Book of the Great Dao Without Bounds," and have commanded that the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji and the Ancient Buddha of Namo Randeng serve as the principal composing immortals and buddhas, with the other exalted beings of the three realms assisting as accompanying immortals and buddhas. Upon the arrival of this decree, the composition shall commence immediately. It is my hope that the book may be completed and promulgated to bless the world at an early date, widely seizing the opportunity to guide and educate.
In the current era, all followers of emerging religious beliefs can find their basis and fulfillment in this cause and condition, thereby achieving greater completeness. Moreover, for all adherents of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and other religious faiths, this provides an opportunity for holistic elevation and return, enabling virtuous growth and transcendence.
Truly, this work "expands the Great Dao and bestows the boundless virtue of the Ultimate," enabling all sentient beings, virtuous original spirits, and others to achieve perfection, return, and transcendence. Without distinction between self and others or between religions, and with complete equality, it attains the purpose of ascending and surpassing. Thus, one can both perfect oneself and deliver others—this is what the Heavens eagerly anticipate!

All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks another grand sacred occasion for the Chongxin lineage. This did not descend out of thin air; rather, it has been achieved step by step, through each volume of our writings, which have elevated and transcended the consciousness and thoughts of all sentient beings to a greater accomplishment.
Moreover, it is through the diligent efforts of everyone, combined with the heartfelt contributions of the celestial immortals and Buddhas, as well as the collective achievements and guidance of all the sacred Buddhas and disciples within our lineage, along with the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, that this has been accomplished. It truly brings great joy to the Chongxin lineage. In the future, we will shoulder even greater responsibilities and missions, which will be achieved step by step.
The Limitless Haotian descends to proclaim the decree;  
The Great Dao's virtue nourishes, all beings find accord.
The cause and condition of the Wuji shall unfold,  
Revealing wisdom and intellect among all beings equally.
Keep this in mind always: all sacred duties and responsibilities must be gradually fulfilled. This is not a fantasy; it is through the steadfast determination of those who fulfill their duties that a transcendent foundation is established for the future achievements of all beings. It is my hope that we all unite in heart and effort, working together to advance the Great Way and to achieve the grand unfolding of the Infinite, making it ever more perfect and harmonious.

## Void-Colored Numinous Immortal Maiden

When the world began, it bore the boundless void;  
Ancient virtues spread the foundation of the Great Dao.
Great is the great virtue, the great assembly's opportunity;  
The Emperor composes a preface to convey congratulatory sentiments.
Preface
The purpose of the preface is to offer sentient beings a greater integration and elevation through this entire series of books, which in itself is a significant affirmation of the author. As praised by the immortals and Buddhas—"the pivot of the Great Dao, the grand unfolding of the Wuji"—it elevates such conditions and causes to a higher level of accomplishment.
Furthermore, at each stage, there are often numerous virtuous connections that mutually facilitate learning. How should one approach this as a study? How to grow? How to elevate? This relates to the fundamental framework that the entire series of books should possess. Within the context of "the evolution of the Great Dao and the unfolding of the Wuji," one is bound to understand the role played by the entire series in the descent of causes and conditions!
Preface—Its Celebration: Regarding *The Great Dao Is Boundless*, within the realm of sentient beings, it offers the multitudes of mortal existence a fundamental guide on how to transcend the bonds of karma. This is the essence of the preface's tribute, and it is also affirmed by a divinely inspired text, making it immediately clear! It brings great elevation and specifically benefits the sentient human beings.
The Great Dao serves as the guiding force for all galactic systems, precisely because its utmost integrity and fairness provide a foundation upon which the myriad stars of the universe converge. Humanity resides within this earthly star system—how could it possibly transcend such boundaries? It is only through the advancement of technological civilization that we may achieve this aim, thereby creating enduring well-being for all beings of the future.
Wuji—this is a term used in Daoism, serving to enlighten and guide the hearts of people within the Chongxin lineage. It is unified and anchored by "the Nothingness of Nothingness, the Ultimate of Nothingness." Under this framework, the entire "process of elucidating Wuji" is analyzed and expounded in broad strokes for all who receive the sacred decrees of Wuji, providing humanity and all sentient beings with a direction and goal to rely upon.
The Great Emperor Pangu bestows a preface upon
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.

Episode Seven: A Solid Foundation
##Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji
August 15, 2003, the 18th day of the seventh month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Immortal teachings transform into a legacy; agriculture flourishes and virtuous deeds flourish.
The Great Dao, boundless, praises the words spoken; the Emperor's words, revered and joyful, uphold the heart's righteousness.
Praise and Felicitation
The Great Dao is the ultimate impartiality and righteousness, governing the operation of all stars and galaxies, as well as all sentient beings across the vast cosmos. It bestows the virtue and grace upon which existence depends, granting growth through continuous transformation. For all sentient beings under its protection and care, the Great Dao not only ensures that the myriad beings of the Earth and its star systems may all receive benevolent benefits.
Through an orientation towards existence, one can enhance the quality of life, which in turn nurtures all living beings across the vast world. This nurturing, rooted in the pursuit of existence, does not depart from the essential conditions required for survival. Moreover, it aligns with the contemporary growth of sentient beings in both heart and spirit, thereby constructing a path toward upward progress and transcendence.
Wuji—this concept, taking Daoism as its standard, is further applied to the process of the creation of heaven and earth. It elucidates how all living beings existing within the Earth's star system are manifested through Wuji in every descending transformation. This has been passed down through written records, which is both truthful and fitting—it is essential to understand! All of this is achieved through the functions of Daoist practices.
To transcend and return to the Wuji, it must be understood that the innate spirit of humanity originates from the "Wuji." Upon descending into the mortal realm, humans begin the entire process of attachment that defines their existence. This is neither an unfounded leap nor empty discourse, for the human world is precisely a realm of cyclical reincarnation and transformation.
If sentient beings do not undergo reincarnation, how can they possess the driving force for elevation and transformation? Within the essence of reincarnation lies the ability to become one's own master, which constitutes true authenticity. Moreover, one must not deviate from the innate nature and spiritual instinct inherent in humanity. By embracing this inherent quality, one can genuinely immerse oneself in the transformative process of reincarnation, thereby achieving upward progress and accomplishment.
How can the human world be elevated? It lies precisely in leaping beyond and transcending its inherent nature, ascending and transforming through the cycles of rebirth. This means becoming the master of oneself, evolving through the succession of all reincarnations, accumulating past experiences, clearing away detrimental thoughts and notions time and again, and ultimately eradicating all defiled thinking and karmic obstacles.
Shennong the Great Emperor descends to bestow praise and congratulations.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Court of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
On the second day of the sixth lunar month in the year Guiwei of the Tianyun era, during the hour of Xu.
Observing this formidable presence, I shall take my leave after a brief disturbance to reminisce with old friends.
Chapter Eight: The Path of Expansion
## Immortal Maiden of the Multicolored Clouds in the Void
August 19, 2003, the twenty-second day of the seventh month in the Guiwei year (Tuesday)
Originally formless, the spirit descends into mortal form; only upon reaching the great earth does it find its place.
The Way of Heaven is impartial, favoring only virtue;  
Respect and blessings descend as the Great Path unfolds.
Ode to the Sun
The Ode says: Praise and commendation lie in the reverence of the heart and the sacred grounds. This is the true lineage that can earn the trust of Heaven, precisely because it is overseen by Heaven and presided over by the immortals and Buddhas who have descended to the mortal realm. It also draws upon ancient virtues as the foundation for all educational and cultural curricula, while integrating the moral and ethical traditions of the Central Land's Yan and Huang heritage spanning over five thousand years.
Furthermore, by incorporating modern and innovative educational methods, greater benefits can be derived from technological civilization. This is not only guided and arranged by the divine, but also synthesized and deduced by the Wuji (the Ultimate Void) and the cosmic void, evolving all virtues and blessings to be bestowed upon the sentient beings of Earth and its star systems. This approach aligns well with the current needs of all living beings.
Ode of Felicitation: To all sages, immortals, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, who in this moment of once-in-a-millennium opportunity lay the foundation for future achievements. One might think now, "What is so remarkable about this?" Yet it is precisely for the descendants of the future world, who will truly receive blessings for generations to come, that this holds genuine significance!
In Praise of the Commendation—Regarding the Yichi Chongxin Sect Lineage, its ability to comprehensively interpret and continue the writings of the Great Dao series, bestowing virtue and grace, is something that could not be referenced in the past thousands of years. Moreover, regarding the great virtue and grace of the compassionate Heaven, it can be embodied and disseminated through the innate wisdom contained within the Principal of the Rational Pen. This is a great and sacred task for which you all can be fortunate.
This is also one of the 350 great sages (kalpas) selected by Heaven, the most distinguished among all the "Transmissions of Heavenly Truths," and is thus praised as a blessed cause. Moreover, immortals and buddhas from the Wuji and Void Celestial Realms have descended and taken residence here, undertaking the profound responsibility of education and culture for generations to come. The fusion of these two aspects is precisely the grace bestowed by Heaven, which should be celebrated as the second cause for rejoicing.
Moreover, in the distant future thousands (or millions) of years from now, if one can inherit and continue this connection, and then look back upon all the present circumstances, there will arise a subtle transformation of the heart and mind that extends through virtue. This, indeed, is the third aspect of congratulating the Way; give it a try! Yet, who can inherit this connection and, in the far-off future thousands of years from now, provide annotation and verification? One must strive diligently!
The Primordial Celestial Worthy descended and bestowed the following verse:
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
On the second day of the sixth lunar month in the year Guiwei of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of Xu.
Aha! It is truly rare to ascend the Sacred Platform of the Revered Heart today, and I am deeply gratified. I shall linger for a while to gather with old friends in this hall, before returning to the celestial realm shortly.
Chapter Nine Expanding the Universe
##Void Ascendant (Namo Void Ascendant, Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue for Humans and Devas)
August 22, 2003, the Guiwei Year, the 25th day of the seventh lunar month (Friday)
Through the void, the boundless connects the revered heart;  
Upon the platform, the enlightened one ascends to meet all beings.
Praise to the Infinite Dao  
How rare to have the exalted ones descend from the upper realms
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today marks the completion of the "Preface, Praises, and Odes" for the fifteenth volume of our sect's Great Tao series, "The Great Tao Without Limits," following its reception of the divine decree. This work has been bestowed upon the Chongxin Sect by the exalted deities of Heaven, serving as a commendation and affirmation of our efforts.
Granting reverence in the heart can achieve greater promotion and expression, and it is essential to understand the profound significance of this connection. It is continued and linked through the two heavenly texts, *The Great Dao of Emptiness* and *The Great Dao of Infinity*, serving as provisions for the accomplishments of future generations. This is not only to enable us to serve Heaven, all living beings, ourselves, and our descendants.
If one could strive for thousands of generations, I wonder how you would feel in this very moment? If the immortals and buddhas were to open the celestial crown of a few students, allowing them to understand their past journeys, they would surely share the same profound emotions as I do. Having traversed hundreds of billions of years, and looking back at the present, it is precisely a cycle of rebirth, elevation, growth, transcendence, return, and ultimate fulfillment!
Chapter Ten: Virtue Spreads Throughout the World
##Void-Colored Numinous Immortal Maiden
August 29, 2003, the second day of the eighth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
China's five-thousand-year heritage begins to unfold,  
As the founding ancestor's virtuous grace embraces all sentient beings.
Namo to the supreme beings who come forth,  
The Dharma of the Burning Lamp naturally unfolds.
Ancient Buddha's First Return to the Great Dao Volume  
The Wuji Expounds and Carries All Spirits
The Fundamental Conditions for the Elaboration of Wuji
Sentient beings in the human world, while pursuing survival, inevitably adopt numerous methods for growth and development. Regarding the functional benefits of all aspects of existence, the repeated cycles of transformation and elevation for the primordial spirits of sentient beings are governed and commanded by the Wuji. This encompasses all Taoist philosophical constructs, which benefit the primordial spirits of sentient beings and others.
Most of these are undertaken in accordance with the sacred decrees of the Wuji and the Daoist edicts of the Three Pure Ones for the purpose of transformation. This causal condition is unified and led by the heavenly realm of Wuji, meaning that the Wuji Principle Heaven carries out a greater act of fulfillment. The human world is guided and supervised in an integrated manner by the Wuji Principle Heaven, which also works to elevate and transcend the sentient beings and original spirits.
The governing functions of the Wuji
Wuji – Thus, through unified leadership, all primordial spirits descend to the primal land. From the perspective of Jambudvīpa, this truly constitutes the condition for unified leadership. All spiritual beings governing sentient beings—whether sentient or non-sentient, movable or immovable—are subject to the function of leadership and governance by Wuji.
Granting numerous sentient beings and primordial spirits the opportunity for elevation, within the human world, there inevitably exists the trial of survival orientation, followed by entering into religious cultivation. This applies equally to the five major traditions: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. It can be said that through the affinity of "one flower with five petals," each merely manifests as a distinct lineage in its respective domain.
This condition has existed within the Earth's star system for over two thousand years, passed down through educational and cultural curricula. Moreover, for all those who have entered religious practice in the past, it has carried a considerable force of transmission. Now, after nearly two millennia, how does this manifest in the present?
The Fundamental Virtues and Beneficence of the Five Teachings
If time could be turned back, would we choose another way to guide humanity? Having inherited over two millennia of educational and cultural traditions, how should we approach all past educational curricula—should we start anew? Doing so would erase the enduring legacy of teachings left by the sages of the five major religions in this mortal world.
From the perspective of the human world, this is not an advisable course of action. It is essential to understand how, through religious faith, one can enter into a state of equal function, enabling sentient beings to achieve growth and elevation through successive cycles of rebirth. This is not empty talk or lofty rhetoric, but a practical path to genuine progress and improvement.
One must understand how to break down the "defiled notion of self-exaltation" found in various religions! It is essential to establish a well-developed framework of thought, which can then guide sentient beings toward greater elevation and transcendence. This approach is aimed at fostering virtuous growth among those in the human realm who follow religious beliefs, enabling them to advance and surpass their current state.
To fulfill the mission of guiding and enlightening humanity
The Mission of the Wuji—to carry forward the legacy—is bestowed upon the sentient primordial spirits of this era, enabling them, after entering into religion, to transform all past inherent dispositions and ingrained habits. Not only does this create the conditions for reincarnation to have greater room for growth, but it also allows sentient primordial spirits to easily attain the elevation of "Nirvana—Demise—Passing" within a single lifetime.
In the context of Nirvana: It is precisely through the constructs derived from Buddhist terminology and contemplation that one can comprehend how, within Nirvana, "transcendence through the cycle of rebirth" is achieved! Although the names used by the world's religions differ, their meanings are entirely the same, and they also reveal that a human's past life is understood through the event of death.
How can one transform and elevate all the inherent negative dispositions and accumulated habits of a lifetime, as if starting anew? This process of cause and condition must be approached with appropriate precision and clarity! If one fails to understand how to elevate oneself through each moment and phase in the cycle of rebirth, it will also be impossible to guide sentient beings toward achieving transformation and accomplishment in each successive cycle of rebirth.
The potential for greater growth lies precisely in the necessity of not skipping over the conditions for survival. Because sentient beings in the human world all endure considerable suffering, it is rare for anyone to go from birth to old age and death without experiencing any hardship. This forms the very conditions of existence for all human beings, which are merely the constant repetition of the same actions.
Human beings each have their own distinct troubles.
This is because: the wealthy have the sufferings of the wealthy; ordinary common beings also have the sufferings of ordinary common beings; the poor, too, have the sufferings of the poor. When viewed within the human world, it is precisely through enduring such hardships and torments that one inevitably engraves them deeply in the heart and becomes willing to undertake transformation.
If one were to pass through life in a state of constant ease, or with little suffering, it would be exceedingly difficult for such a person to truly comprehend the trials of life—aging, sickness, death, hardship, setbacks, helplessness, slander, and all forms of torment. Only by earnestly striving for self-improvement and transformation can one truly benefit from these experiences and cultivate inner goodness.
It is precisely because of the reliance on all religious faith objectives that, when applying the efficacy of faith itself, one undergoes a significant transformation of one’s inherent temperament and habits! How can one immerse oneself in this reliance on faith, fostering the growth of one’s mind and spirituality, without straying from the nourishment of life!
The actions performed by the Wuji
Interpretation—It is precisely through the transmission of education and culture that the growth of evolution is granted to those who enter into it. This is because the human world stands as the dividing line between the ascent and descent of life. If sentient beings, the original spirits, can ascend but choose not to, they will remain in existence, yet be unable to discern their future purpose or comprehend the entirety of the process.
It can compensate for all basic functions and effects, and it does not allow for transformation through changes in thought; this process can, through repeated cycles of variation and transformation, elevate oneself into a significant role, advancing into religious faith for enhancement, and also, through the process of variation, enter into ideological transformation for growth.
In "Deduction," it is precisely the driving force of evolution within the process of change, and all actions do not deviate from the threshold of human survival. This addresses the current era, where all primordial beings can enter the process of transformation, and the accumulated past experiences serve as the driving force for elevation. Through this very cause and condition, growth and elevation are possible!
Under such conditions, it is precisely through deduction that we address the function of thought, thereby reaching the conditions for the causes and conditions of evolution. It is because of evolution that creation becomes possible. The original driving force of such creation lies in improving the fundamental conditions necessary for human survival, which is both truthful and aptly suited to the reality of existence.
Deduction, transformation, creation, and perfection.
Conditions for Evolution—this entails transforming the past, utilizing all accumulated habits to elevate oneself. Whether innate temperament or acquired tendencies, both manifest in the comforts and hardships of survival, and through evolutionary creation, growth is achieved. Only after embracing religious faith can one truly foster greater growth and elevation of "mind and spirituality."
Why is it necessary to establish the virtuous influence of educational and cultural curricula? This process is by no means something that falls from the sky, nor can it bypass any stage of its environment. It must proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each stage, so that it can be realized in the present moment without ever straying from the essence of human existence.
How can we achieve greater space and environment for growth? This is the fundamental requirement of Heaven, and it is the basic function and mindset that sentient beings in the present era should possess. It is essential to understand how to progress step by step, leaving a solid footprint with each stride, in order to attain transcendence and provide humanity with the means for upward growth.
Wuji and Chongxin are interconnected with each other.
The Sect of the Revered Heart—it is precisely through this karmic connection that, over countless millennia, the well-being and spiritual refuge of humanity have been established. Thus, to live as a human being, one must not deviate from the moral, ethical, and foundational principles of the human world. This brings genuine and profound virtue and grace to oneself and all primordial spirits, benefiting the present world through its transformative influence.
It does not emerge from thin air, but is forged through a specific time, environment, process, and space—all grounded in reality and profoundly meaningful. It can serve as a model and benchmark for the human world, ensuring that future generations do not leapfrog the essential stages of existence or focus solely on spiritual transcendence.
Moreover, it obscains how the construction of the physical body and the mind should be elevated through the triad of "mind, spirituality, and existence." It is through these conditions that one can achieve clarity. The grace of Heaven and the sacred duties are chosen by humanity itself; Heaven merely descends to fulfill them according to each individual's will.
The Great Dao, with emptiness as its sovereign principle;  
The Great Dao, boundless, is where all virtues rely.
The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven both bring benefit;  
The Great Dao elevates the heart in its time of writing.
The first chapter lays the foundation,  
Expounding the profound meaning of the boundless Dao.
The fundamental meaning of returning to heaven and earth lies in creating boundless opportunities for oneself.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it is not directed solely at the revered sages, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin. It is essential to understand that mindful presence in every moment is precisely the unfolding of the Great Dao, which bestows its vast virtues. This is presided over and carried out by the Wuji (Ultimate Nothingness). Through the human world, greater achievements and karmic connections can be realized. Can this be comprehended? Thus, diligent effort is indispensable!
Chapter Eleven: The Kindness of Love
## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
September 2, 2003, the sixth day of the eighth month in the Guiwei year (Tuesday)
The ethereal spirit ascends the sacred dais;  
The immortal maiden's virtuous grace draws reverence to the heart.
The Great Dao is boundless, initiating the first chapter;  
The Lord, with sages and buddhas, carries the multitude of virtues.
Good evening to all saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the inaugural work of "The Great Dao Without Extremes" has been composed through the descent of the Great Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dipaṃkara. It also provides a clear analysis of the process, tasks, and mission involved in "The Deduction of Wuji."
It is important for everyone to understand that *The Great Tao in Emptiness* and *The Great Tao Without Limits* are two interconnected volumes, and the subsequent heavenly texts are also interlinked. This is because the series of books authored by the Chongxin lineage elaborates on the essence of the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra* and integrates the quintessence and fundamental nature of the five major teachings.
Moreover, it is about thoroughly elucidating and analyzing concepts such as equality, fraternity, compassion, empathy, purity, and non-action in a tangible manner. This enables sentient beings and original spirits to clearly understand how to achieve transcendence and return in a single lifetime! Without skipping steps or detaching from the realities of human existence, they can naturally grow and transcend, right here and now!
Chapter Twelve: Protection for All Living Beings
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void and Spiritual Aperture
September 5, 2003, the ninth day of the eighth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Nanping protects and blesses all sentient beings,  
Daoji guides and enlightens every living soul.
The Ancient Buddha descended to compose the Wuji Book,  
Wuji unfolds to reveal the true purpose.
The purpose of this exposition is to bestow virtue and grace upon all living beings.
"The Great Dao of Emptiness" has been completed, and we now continue with "The Great Dao of the Infinite" to further elevate our work. This not only fosters growth within the human world but also affirms and commends the "Great Dao Series" of books, authored in the mortal realm by the Chongxin Sect lineage. This is the purpose of elaborating through "The Great Dao of the Infinite."
In the human world, the conditions for greater growth, causes, and opportunities, as well as the basis for self-realization, are processes beyond human comprehension. Consequently, there can be no further elevation, as it is hindered by the limitations of the human realm. Moreover, one’s actions and endeavors fail to permeate daily life.
Thus, the human world comes into being, yet it inherently lacks the conditions for upward advancement due to fundamental obstacles. Therefore, in relation to the purpose and actions of the Wuji's evolution, it serves as a great opportunity for growth and transformation for all sentient beings and original spirits who pass through this world. It is through the human world that one becomes the master of oneself, determining whether virtuous elevation can be achieved.
The Fundamentals of Wuji Deduction
Moreover, for over two thousand years, the beings of the sentient world have often been constrained by religions and scriptures, unaware of how to navigate the human world. The essence of uplifting lies in the fundamental causes and conditions; if the original spirits of sentient beings cannot be guided by truth as their foundation, religions will struggle to achieve greater transcendence, remaining confined to the transmission of ancient scriptures.
However, it is often overlooked that the realization and knowledge derived from the classics require a clear understanding of their meanings, which goes beyond mere intellectual enhancement. To achieve greater growth, one must thoroughly and truthfully comprehend the classics. Moreover, when examining religious scriptures, they cannot simply be labeled as good or bad; rather, they represent different layers of confusion stemming from the original intentions of sentient beings and their primordial spirits.
If one is unable to integrate the meaning of the classics with life, it becomes difficult to achieve complete growth. The classics and life then remain separate entities, with no fusion between the two. This relationship is hindered by the divide between the classics and existence, making it impossible to merge them into one, thereby obstructing any thorough and harmonious integration.
Extending virtue and grace to all living beings.
Interpretation—Sentient beings, as original spirits, are capable of becoming their own masters through the basis of existence. Yet, more often than not, they fail to do so. On the contrary, they confine themselves within constraints that are difficult to escape, treating humanity merely as their own slaves to command. Those who doubt this need only observe: they exist merely in the daily pursuit of "warmth, sustenance, and comfort"!
If one can quiet the mind, there often emerges a profound and genuine place of questioning about one's own future. The subtlety of this state of mind frequently reveals itself, and it is precisely in the stillness of the night or when the soul is utterly tranquil that such subtlety becomes evident, manifesting as a sense of "loneliness" within the heart.
One will then come to a true understanding of why one has come into this world. If the causes from past lives are not forgotten, and if the spirit remains pure and clear, such thoughts will often arise, gradually leading one toward religious faith. This faith becomes a guiding force, allowing one to reflect deeply in the quiet of the night.
This subtle state of mind, when it manifests, sometimes further prompts one to reflect: What exactly is this subtlety within my own heart? Often, one asks oneself: What is the purpose of this lifetime in the human world? Who am I? And who, in turn, is the "I"? What should I do? What is it that I ought to accomplish? Thus, a multitude of questions arises within the heart.
Deduction serves as a means of elevation.
Purpose Manifestation—It is precisely this subtle state of mind that reveals the distinction between being one's own master or one's own slave. I ask all sentient beings: Does this subtle state of mind often arise? If, in this lifetime, one can understand why one has come into this world and what one is meant to accomplish, what then?
All missions and tasks to be undertaken will lead to a greater elevation of one's future. If one cannot comprehend this, it is precisely because such subtlety of mind arises from one's own eighth consciousness, manifesting solely as one's own delicate state of mind. In the context of the human world, these conditions of cause and effect are indeed just as they are!
If one is unable to comprehend the subtlety of this state of mind, they will inevitably drift with the tide in this world alone, and even wander through the sufferings of the three evil paths and six realms, trapped in the cycle of rebirth. In such a state, one cannot achieve a greater turning point for self-improvement, and will inevitably remain ignorant of the subtle aspects of the mind.
It is precisely about personal realization and understanding, and moreover, it is impossible for one to rely solely on the experiences of this lifetime to achieve the transformation and growth rooted in one's karmic conditions. In the human world, once one enters a religion, those who forever adhere to it and never retreat can be described as loyal and devoted. Such individuals, bound by these karmic ties, are numerous—they are simply steadfast in their protection and support.
Survival Deduction and Life
If one may ask: Can there be greater elevation or transcendence in religious faith, or should one simply follow all the doctrines and precepts of that religion? Not necessarily! If one can be utterly devoted, they may indeed be called a faithful practitioner of the Way, but whether this leads to upward growth and elevation is also not certain!
Achieving the goal—by remaining steadfastly loyal and further elevating one's religious faith—requires asking oneself inwardly: How can I transcend, grow, and return in this world? Yet, those who possess such a mindset are few, for in matters of religious faith, many often lack the ability to remain "firm in heart and mind."
On the contrary, one often indulges all of one’s actions. If there are faults today, one can rely on tomorrow to correct them, thereby indulging one’s own state of mind and frequently giving oneself a way to step down. The subtlety of this mindset lies precisely in forgiving oneself—for if one cannot forgive oneself, what else can be done?
Would one then beat oneself black and blue? There is no such foolish person in the world—it is highly unlikely! Moreover, because there is always tomorrow to start anew, such firm resolve is likely to be greatly diminished. This subtlety of mindset is precisely where sentient beings often find themselves, slipping into the habit of forgiving themselves and thus indulging in leniency.
Deduction is a necessity for survival.
If, when the next incident occurs, one forgives oneself yet again, and this pattern repeats each time, what can be done? Is there room for greater growth and opportunity? In Confucian thought, "not repeating the same mistake" is achieved through accumulated experience, transforming circumstances and creating conditions for progress. What alternative is there? Such is the helplessness of sentient beings!
The Purpose of Elaboration—It is precisely with this state of mind that, through one’s own contemplation and by practicing "not repeating mistakes" as a means of self-transformation, one fulfills the fundamental duty of a "virtuous person." Moreover, for the "sage," it can be said that all actions must be accomplished through human endeavor in order to transcend those very actions. How, then, does one set an example?
Through one's own contemplation, one can understand the fundamental causes and conditions behind the purposes one pursues. If one can undergo continuous transformation and growth, it is certain that through the accumulation of countless experiences, one will progress and transcend. This is not a state attainable only by "sages and virtuous ones"; all sentient beings can reach such a condition.
What is the purpose of the evolution of Wuji?  
It is to achieve growth and attain Prajna.
Achieving sagehood as the ultimate aim, religious equality is fully realized across the five teachings.
Future technology creates this life; personal nature is revealed in the dark of night.
In moments of tranquility, it becomes clear: which is real, this life or the next?
This verse! For all sentient beings and original spirits, to integrate with the nourishment of life and spiritual practice, and to serve as the foundation for future experiential growth, it is essential to achieve this condition of growth through the purpose of evolution—only then can it be considered genuine. How, then, can one truly understand the "purpose of the Wuji evolution"? Thank you all for your hard work. Today, this old monk will linger at Chongxin Temple and not return. Farewell!
Chapter Thirteen: Heaven and Earth Receive Benefit
##Three Pure Ones Patriarch, Primordial Heavenly Venerable
September 12, 2003, the 16th day of the eighth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Through the void and boundless, reverence connects the heart;  
Colorful clouds together aid the cause of brush and ink.
The Immortal Maiden meets the virtuous student today,  
Tomorrow, the Zen teachings will illuminate the path through confusion.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha—Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji—has descended to impart "The Great Tao Is Infinite: Second Chapter—The Purpose of Elucidation," revealing the subtleties of this state of mind. How can one elevate oneself in the human world? What is the purpose of this life in the mortal realm? How should one advance toward greater growth and transcendence?
One must come to understand that to grow through human existence, it is essential to be clear: life itself is practice, and practice is also life; life is the Way, and the Way is also life. With this understanding, do you realize that every day, every hour, every moment is within life, within practice, and within the great Way? Do you feel this insight?
Upon careful reflection, one can clearly understand that "life is inseparable from living, life is inseparable from cultivation, and life is inseparable from the essence of the Dao." This is the very foundation of all human existence!

Where the enlightened aid all beings in their cultivation.
The Third Chapter of the Great Dao Without Bounds: The Purification of Primordial Spirits and the Fulfillment of Original Causes
The Purpose of the Primordial Spirits' Descent from the Wuji
The purpose of the evolution derived from the Wuji is precisely to purify all primordial spirits in their essence. It must yield tangible and substantial efficacy, ensuring that the purification process of the primordial spirits is crystal clear, free from any ripples or disturbances that could hinder growth. It is essential to clarify: how can sentient primordial spirits purify their own spirituality!
Transformation requires action to be realized. Moreover, if the human world remains mired in the impurities of the past, it fundamentally lacks the capacity to purify its own spirituality. Therefore, for sentient beings and primordial spirits, this often results only in continued cycles of rebirth in future lives, bound primarily by the karmic ties of the human realm. How, then, can spirituality transcend and return to its origin?
How should the primordial spirits descend to be born?
Original Spirit – This is to be addressed after descending to the mortal realm, and because there are obstacles inherent in this descent, the question arises: How can the three aspects of an individual—mind, spirit, and body—be integrated? It is essential to clarify whether these three elements—"mind, spirit, and body"—can harmoniously coexist in this world. There must be a focus on elevating and nurturing the spirit, mind, and body together.
They can cooperate with each other; it is essential to begin with purification. After the original spirits of sentient beings descend to the mortal realm, they are influenced by the contamination of the five dust realms, prompting themselves in the human world to understand, throughout the process of all survival orientations, how to allow their "mind, spirit, and body" to coexist comfortably within this space.
It is essential to understand that while sustaining existence, there is a guiding force within one's own mind that constructs and is closely linked to the process of achieving comfort in life. In this way, sentient beings can find ease in their living space. If they cannot live comfortably within this earthly realm, it will affect the peace and comfort of their livelihood.
Nor is there a sheltered harbor to rely upon; for sentient primordial spirits themselves, this means there is no greater space for growth. It is essential to understand: what is the origin from which the primordial spirit descends into the mortal realm? To achieve elevation in all aspects of human existence, it is necessary to transcend and grow in the threefold aspects of "body, mind, and spirit."
How Should Sentient Souls Purify Themselves
Original Spirit – This refers to all living beings across the vast cosmos, every sentient existence within the Earth's star system. It originates from a primordial birthplace and descends into the human realm on Earth. For most humans, it remains unknowable: from where do they truly come? What tasks and missions do they carry?
Moreover, they do not even understand what they themselves wish to accomplish. Nor can they clearly comprehend and realize from where exactly they descended to Earth. Many such doubts and perplexities are difficult to resolve immediately in the present moment, simply because sentient beings are often preoccupied with the necessities of survival and fail to fully grasp what they are meant to do or what they are destined to fulfill.
None can truly comprehend it; it is precisely for the sake of existence itself that existence persists. This often stirs within oneself the accumulation of all past causes stored in the eighth consciousness. Thus, it creates an inability to clearly discern one's future path or understand how all that has come to pass came to be. Moreover, one becomes ensnared by one's own delusions, obscuring the inherent causes and conditions that could lead to future accomplishments.
The Fundamentals of Purifying the Original Spirit
Purification Action—Bestowed upon the descending mortal souls, it is a process of spiritual purification through one’s own spiritual refuge in the human world. As for ordinary sentient beings, they are unable to comprehend how to purify their own spirituality. They only know that in the process of spiritual cultivation, they will inevitably encounter many obscure and limiting obstacles!
Often, one is obscured by ignorance, and the growth of one's spirituality is hindered by such obstacles, making it difficult to attain a driving force for elevation. This is precisely due to the impediments that prevent one from achieving greater growth. It is precisely because there are conditions for purification that all sentient beings can undergo the process of "spiritual purification."
To discern between what should and should not be done, under such conditions, one would naturally expect greater opportunities for growth. Yet, often, these aspirations cannot be realized as desired, precisely because of the flawed circumstances that hinder oneself. This leaves sentient beings and primordial spirits in a state of confusion, unable to determine what ought to be done and what ought not.
Moreover, in such polarized judgments, there is no way to attain the purifying effect of clear and clean contemplation, which would allow one to live comfortably in this earthly space. Regarding all that should be carried out but cannot be fulfilled, one often encounters the obstacles of one's own ignorance. This is the hindrance to human existence, and it is difficult to dissolve—such is the helplessness!
Transcendence of Purifying the Primordial Spirit
Purification Conditions – It is essential that all sentient beings be capable of purification. Because sentient beings often create obstacles in manifesting their individual inner nature, if they fail to elevate and purify themselves, they instead allow a tainted spirit to become their master. This, in turn, forms layer upon layer of obstructive walls in their own human existence.
Moreover, one often finds oneself unable to achieve what is desired, as things tend to go contrary to one’s wishes. For sentient beings, this means there is little room for greater growth. Because the conditions for purification are so readily available, existence becomes merely about survival, making it exceedingly difficult to transcend beyond that.
If one lacks the will, how can it be achieved? But if one possesses the will, there will inevitably be causes, conditions, and opportunities. Through the process of purification in the human world, one can ascend. Understand this: by knowing how to purify one's thoughts and perspectives, one will surely find a period of tranquility for their "spirit and heart" in the stillness of the deep night.
The elevation of heart-nature and spiritual nature
During this period, if one cannot benefit in body, mind, and spirit, it is precisely because there is no moment of purification to manifest. This is due to the fact that in the stillness of the deep night, when all things under heaven rest and recuperate, such a moment offers oneself an opportunity and a cause for stillness in heart, spirit, and body.
Though time passes moment by moment, it is also a time of rest for the "mind, spirit, and body." When this rest comes to an end, no matter how busy or troubled the day may be, what would happen if, in that very moment, one were to take a very, very deep breath?
One will feel that their mind, spirit, and body can merge with heaven and earth, the infinite, the cosmos, and the void. It is precisely in the stillness of the deep night that these three—mind, spirit, and body—can be truly unified into one, enabling humanity to ascend and grow.
No matter how busy or unpleasant the day's affairs may be, one should be able to pause for a moment at this time. It is precisely in this temporary cessation that all actions of karmic retribution and contention also come to a halt as one rests. This allows for the conditions to purify oneself.
Purifying the Original Spirit, Heart-Nature, and Spiritual Nature
The fundamental function of primordial spirit purification is that, in this very moment, it can bring forth all past causes and conditions, allowing them to continue through this opportunity. With each passing day, it further purifies the spirit, the mind, and the body, yielding tangible effects and benefits that can be utilized in the future.
From the perspective of ordinary sentient beings: this is precisely the ideal time for restful sleep, yet also the moment when all karmic retributions and obstructions come to claim their due. It is during this period that transmissions occur—emanations from each individual's mind, spirit, and bodily energy waves. All those who share either "meritorious karmic connections" or "obstructive karmic ties" with oneself can mutually receive and absorb these transmissions.
Thus, in the stillness of the deep night, if sentient beings are still unable to rest, they will be unable to facilitate the emission of each individual's thought waves. This serves as a crucial basis for purifying one's own mind and spirituality. Some sentient beings may ask, what is the significance of emitting such waves? In truth, this is precisely the most opportune moment for self-rectification!
This is to provide an opportunity for karmic creditors or virtuous affinities to seek reunion and connection. If humans did not require sleep, there would be no encounters with karmic creditors or virtuous affinities, inevitably leading to the formation of such misconceptions. This further reflects a failure to comprehend the essence of human nature—namely, the conditions under which cause and effect manifest as retribution.
Purifying the primordial spirit as the foundation, one comes to realize that the body is originally true.
The spirit of the heart awaits the deep night,  
To purify and dissolve the depths of the past.
Realize each step of personal growth, advancing steadily without exaggeration.
Purify karma without delay,  
For fleeting moments bring dismay.
This verse is offered as encouragement to all sentient beings. Those who can grasp its meaning are wise; those who cannot remain forever bound by their own obstacles and limitations, unable to transcend them. May the wise transform and dissolve the afflictions of past karma, thereby ascending and surpassing them!
Chapter Fifteen: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity
##Tongtian Jiaozhu  Lingbao Tianzun
September 19, 2003, the twenty-third day of the eighth lunar month, Year of the Guiwei (Friday)
The ethereal spirits ascend the sacred platform,  
As the Immortal Maiden's virtue carries all beings.
By the sacred decree, Chongxin is commissioned to compose the celestial texts, systematically arranging the fundamental teachings for enlightenment.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the True Chairman of our lineage, the Supreme Being of the Void, has descended to compose "The Great Dao Without Limits · Third Chapter: Purification of the Original Spirit," granting us the revelation of a profound karmic foundation that has been difficult to comprehend throughout the ages. This serves to purify the growth of our own "heart-nature and spiritual nature."
If the three aspects of one's own being can integrate and mutually fulfill each other without deviating from the purification of existence and spirituality, it enables self-transformation and elevation within life. This is not something that descends out of nowhere; rather, it is a fundamental and profound cause for elevation, yet we have all forgotten this very cause.
Therefore, it is impossible to understand how the fundamental causes and conditions relate to the embodiment of opportunity. How can one comprehend the purification and growth of one's own "mind, spirit, and body"? I hope you will carefully contemplate today's teachings, which are certain to bring genuine elevation to everyone. Such an opportunity is an exceedingly rare condition!

As the Ancient Buddha descends to bestow the Great Dao.

Elevating the spiritual cause to guide the return.
The Necessity of Planting Seeds for Spiritual Elevation
Purification of the Original Spirit: By observing this world through the lens of human existence, one can thoroughly comprehend whether each sentient being is capable of elevating the karmic seeds of their own spirituality. It is precisely due to the necessity of such conditions that sentient beings must, within a single lifetime, use these circumstances to achieve spiritual ascension.
Given that the original essence is inherently pure and transparent, it manifests repeatedly and continuously in response to sentient beings. This process allows for the possibility of growth through one's own spiritual essence, enabling actions that fulfill the conditions for transcendence within the realm of sentient existence. By elevating the fundamental seeds of spirituality, it ensures that the original spirits of all sentient beings do not deviate from this lifetime, thereby establishing a foundation for their own growth.
Sentient beings in the human world often encounter numerous contradictions and setbacks. Such seemingly plausible yet misleading arguments can leave one at a loss—where should one begin? Where should one seek improvement? This state of uncertainty makes it difficult to settle the mind and cultivate the causes and conditions for spiritual elevation, leaving one trapped in ambiguity.
Why Cultivate Spiritual Causes
It is precisely the path chosen from one's own contradictions that makes it impossible to make straightforward decisions. Often, it also prevents one from achieving the foundation for personal growth within the human world. This results in a lack of greater opportunities for growth, hindering the elevation of one's fundamental causes and conditions, and obstructing progress toward the transcendence of goodness.
If one merely focuses on enhancing daily life and only seeks personal comfort, it is fundamentally impossible to achieve the growth and renewal of spiritual qualities. This, in turn, becomes an obstacle to existence, preventing all sentient beings and original spirits from calming their minds to allow the transcendence of their "spirit, mind, and body."
Elevation is necessary for all sentient beings, yet what conditions must be met for such elevation, and to what extent should it be pursued? For the sentient beings of the vast cosmos, this is difficult to comprehend. To govern all affairs and conditions through this very cause and condition, thereby transcending through elevation—it is believed that human beings would find this exceedingly hard to grasp.
The vast universe and all realms, for every sentient being within, if they so desire, can be achieved according to their own aspirations. It also demands fundamental mastery over one’s own spiritual nature and essence. Because there exists the potential for elevation, all original spirits of sentient beings in the human world of the great cosmos can genuinely grow and evolve.
Elevating the Human Race Through the Cultivation of Causes
If we consider the human world from the perspective of ethnicities, to establish the conditions for elevation, we must enable this karma to find a greater basis for growth. Moreover, regarding sentient beings, it is essential to understand that elevation does not discriminate among any race or karma; all can serve as the means for elevation and transcendence, allowing oneself to advance toward a greater space for growth!
All can harmonize with the growth of one's own "spiritual causal nature"—this is the true reality! Regarding spiritual causal nature, it is essential to allow oneself to cultivate and transform through this lifetime, to correct all past errors, and to elevate one's spiritual causal nature. This is precisely the role of spiritual causal nature—how should it be approached?
It is precisely the combination of "body, spirit, and mind" that constitutes the whole. But what about the conditions of these three themselves? There should be a space for purifying the "mind and spirit," all for the sake of elevating and purifying one's own body. Sentient beings are unable to understand why the quality of the spirit is so closely related to their own future!
The Three Aspects of Human Being: Body, Mind, and Spirit
The formation of the causal conditions for achievement and the essence of opportunity—why are they interrelated? It is a process of self-elevation, an enhancement of one's spiritual nature. To understand the fulfillment of such conditions, one must recognize that it arises from purifying the fundamental functions of "mind, spirit, and body." It is about enabling oneself to exist through "purification and contemplation."
The essence of spirit—it must be formed through the convergence of causes and conditions, and this holds true for all sentient beings as well as the myriad forms of life, whether animate or inanimate. Through the nature of spirit, shaped by the union of causes and conditions, the functions of time and space can be elucidated, allowing everyone to understand the workings of all living environments.
It is precisely through the interplay of time and space that the infinite origins of karma are formed. Under these conditions, within the convergence of karma and the dimensions of time and space, it is essential to clearly understand how one can cultivate one's "spiritual cause" through the triad of "mind, spirit, and body." This requires the spiritual qualities of "purification and contemplation" for growth.
How DNA Grows Upward
Therefore, it is only by attaining a greater affinity with the fundamental essence and pivotal opportunities within oneself—while recognizing that sentient beings are generally unaware—that human beings can penetrate all fundamental affinities and pivotal opportunities. This must be achieved through the convergence of causes and conditions, enabling the elevation of spiritual qualities and facilitating the growth and transcendence of DNA.
Otherwise, in the human world, it would merely be a repetition of past existence, merely reliving the survival process of "becoming a general or a minister" over and over again in the human realm. This is not the fundamental purpose of Heaven. It is essential to realize that one's spiritual essence—what humans refer to as DNA—must be transcended to a greater extent.
It must be achieved through "purification and contemplation"; I ask all virtuous students: In these years since you entered Chongxin, have you purified your spiritual causes? It is in the human world that you elevate your DNA through growth, learning, return, transcendence, and fulfillment—such conditions provide the opportunity for virtuous growth.
Purifying the essence to foster growth, cultivating the chapters of spirit, mind, and body.
Understanding that the spiritual cause in its essence  
Is each attained by one's own effort.
Pure filtration and serene contemplation, both are fitting,  
Transforming the spiritual cause, boundless opportunities arise.
This is the human DNA cause,  
Which in the future may benefit all living beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. Today, due to numerous ceremonies celebrating the attainment of enlightenment, time has been set aside to honor the Chongxin lineage for their work in "The Limitless Great Dao." Gratitude is extended to all deities and individuals of Chongxin for their devout commemoration of this enlightened longevity, which is truly heart-touching. Thanks are also given to everyone for their dedicated efforts and hard work.

All sentient beings with feelings are truly endearing.
Celebrating the Commemorative Day of Enlightenment, all living beings across the vast world gather in reverence.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea has descended to compose the essence of "The Great Dao Without Limits · Fourth Chapter: Purification of Spirituality," allowing spiritual causes to elevate the foundation of karma and serve as an opportunity for one's own growth. It is essential to understand that the content composed by the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea is worthy of affirmation.
It is precisely as revealed in "connotations within connotations, mysteries within mysteries"—can one truly and thoroughly comprehend this? By elevating the intrinsic nature of spiritual causes, rectifying past errors and misconceptions, how then, through such rectification, can one genuinely secure for oneself a fundamental role in ascending toward the path ahead?

The Three Pure Ones descend in grace,  
Primordial Heavenly Lord, with virtue and compassion.
The Fifth Chapter of the Great Path Without Bounds: Elevating and Purifying the Fundamental Origin
The necessary actions for purification and elevation.
The original spiritual essence and its source of substance are integrated and regulated with the true purpose of initiating through a single function. It is essential to be able to descend and transform the original spiritual essence and substance. Moreover, in the process of elevating the foundational role of the original spirit, such conditions can be harmonized. This advocates for the fundamental function of spirituality, providing a unified integration for all sentient beings and their original spirits.
It can lead to elevation and transcendence, particularly when viewed in relation to sentient beings—it is both highly relevant and remarkably effective. It is essential to understand that this very essence, which serves as the foundational cause for transcendence, can be applied to uplift others. This is the root of growth and also effective for purification. One must clearly comprehend how it will function in the future.
Elevation and Purification—this is precisely the fundamental role and ultimate purpose. Can sentient beings in the human world create the foundational causes for their own elevation? It is through the human world that the advocacy for the quality of causes is achieved. How can this quality of causes progress toward greater opportunities for growth and pivotal moments? It must be attained through elevation to transcend!
How to Elevate and Purify the Original Spirit
If one cannot elevate oneself, it becomes impossible to achieve greater gains. Instead, one merely cycles through repetitive actions within the vast cosmos, unable to foster personal growth or transcendence. Transcendence is driven by the motive force of elevation, enabling humanity to genuinely grow and ascend.
Sentient beings and primordial spirits, if they cannot elevate and transcend their inherent qualities, may find themselves unable to grasp greater opportunities for growth in the future. It is precisely through this intrinsic cause and the opportunities themselves that the primary momentum for mutual elevation is generated. If one merely desires to ascend but does not know the methods, it will be impossible to achieve the intended efficacy.
The Foundation of Advancement—this is precisely the condition that provides oneself with the correct method for progress. If one is unable to make progress and remains stagnant, repeatedly forming cyclical obstacles, how can humanity, in this present era, still rely on outdated methods and hope to elevate the civilization of future science and technology?
The Divine Intention to Purify the Original Spirit
Thus, it is impossible to meet the conditions for growth, inevitably leading to endless cycles of rebirth within the human realm—this is the sorrow of sentient beings. If one persists in following the ways of the past, true achievement will remain elusive! No matter how many cycles of rebirth one undergoes, it merely results in lifetimes spent solely as humans, generation after generation sinking into greater sorrow.
From the perspective of the heavens, such actions would not be taken; instead, decrees would be sent down to the mortal realm, allowing the compassionate immortals and buddhas to guide accordingly. However, when it comes to the guidance offered by these immortals and buddhas to sentient beings, whether it can elevate the fundamental causes and opportunities of their destiny remains profoundly difficult to comprehend. Moreover, most beings remain solely attached to mere survival.
The purpose of purification is to repeatedly precipitate clarity through the action of essence. Within the processes of "purification and contemplation," if one fails to comprehend the progression and essence of these two processes, it becomes impossible to achieve fulfillment through "purified transformation." In such a case, how can the purpose derived from the infinite be realized?
The Role of Primordial Spirits Descending to the Mortal Realm
From the perspective of all sentient beings and primordial spirits descending to the mortal world, it is precisely through the descent that all impurities can be gradually elevated and transformed. This is unified through "purification." How, then, can the inherent nature of primordial spirits be purified? It is to allow the inherent nature of primordial spirits to be understood through the process of purification!
What, then, is the impurity of the "spiritual" essence? It is precisely what is verified by the present-day technology of the human world in the "process of screening spiritual seeds and causes"! Through the "spiritual seeds and causes," one can understand what the nature of the causes encompasses. By clarifying the nature of these causes, one can see at a glance what the future descent will bring!
In the future, what kind of causes, conditions, and actions will be encountered? All can be understood through the distinctions in spiritual seeds, and what lies within them! At the same time, it can be verified: what kind of causes exist in the future, arising from the inherent qualities and conditions of these spiritual seeds? This is indeed profoundly difficult to comprehend!
How is the efficacy of the purification function achieved?
The purification function, which filters and clarifies the seeds of spiritual causes, resides precisely within the micro-crystals of humanity. Without achieving clarity and thoroughness, there can be no greater accumulation of karmic conditions for accomplishment—only repeated cycles of rebirth. It is essential to understand that this process of purification requires the addition of numerous virtuous karmic conditions.
Only with greater room for growth can there be greater potential for future improvement. It is essential to clearly understand the nature of one’s DNA—how it is constituted? This can be grasped at a glance. Moreover, the inherent qualities and spiritual seeds of sentient beings in the present moment, once descending into the mundane world, give rise to opportunities for reincarnation and the process of cultivation and transformation.
By observing the "causes of spirituality," one can comprehend all things. Through the present state of the human world, we can foresee what causes and conditions will arise in the future. The ability to understand everything stems from the fact that if the human world lacks the capacity for elevation and purification, it will merely remain trapped in the cycle of rebirth within the realm of humanity.
It is essential to elevate and purify oneself through the "planting of spiritual seeds." Only in this way can one achieve fulfillment and transcendence within the human world, and transform the past from the present moment. All deficiencies, shortcomings, and mistakes serve precisely to rectify one's undesirable habits, ingrained tendencies, and unpleasant character. I wonder if everyone can deeply contemplate the inner meaning and mysteries within this? With careful reflection, it will become clear!
Elevation purifies the depths of sinking,  
Understanding reveals the true seeds of spirituality.
It encompasses the seeds of the future,  
Which can be clearly realized in the present moment.
The Wuji unfolds all sentient beings;  
The great cosmos' original spirits should befriend one another.
Heaven and earth, with compassion, guide all beings to return,
Elevating and purifying the fundamental essence.
This verse! Let us encourage all sentient beings together; in the future, how will all causes and conditions unfold? It can surely be seen clearly from the present moment, for all the spiritual seeds and causes of the future have long been discernible within the essence of their origins. Well, it is a rare opportunity today to come to Chongxin Hall to participate in this work. I shall linger a while longer before returning to the heavens!
Chapter 19 The Benevolent Will of Heaven

The Void and Limitless Penetrate the Reverent Heart,  
The Spiritual Immortal Maiden Aids Sentient Beings.
The boundless Dao unfolds its narrative,  
Renewing the heavens, the earth, and all creation with clarity.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Supreme Master of the Three Pure Ones, has descended to compose the fifth chapter of "The Great Dao Without Extremes," which elevates spiritual purification through karma. It integrates the essence and opportunities of all karmic connections between the "human world" and the "heavenly realm."
In the present moment, one can observe the inherent nature of the "spiritual seed cause." What conditions and karmic connections will arise in the future have already been fully understood even before birth. Thus, the human world merely grows according to the DNA of cause and nature bestowed by Heaven, following the course of destiny as it unfolds.
It is essential to understand how to elevate oneself, how to transcend, and what methods to employ for growth! The Chongxin Lineage is precisely capable of transformation, evolving from the spiritual seeds of causation that existed before, rather than being limited solely to the endowments bestowed by Heaven in the past. One must undergo all the trials and experiences of the human world to achieve accomplishment.
Can one comprehend the essence and original intent of the teachings authored by the Three Pure Ones today? It is to classify humanity based on their inherent qualities, and to thoroughly understand the workings of all future causes and conditions! Can transformation be achieved? Can purification be attained? Only with the correct methods can this be realized! Otherwise, one will merely continue to cycle through the human world in repeated rebirths.
Chapter Twenty: The Great Cosmos' Protection
##Immortal Maiden of the Void-Colored Crane

Creating planets that span heaven and earth,  
The sect's master descends to cultivate the Great Dao.
The Celestial Worthy of Numinous Treasure descends upon the sacred altar,  
Riding beyond the foundation to return to the celestial realm.
How to Elevate the Foundation of Riding the Way
Elevating and purifying the sentient beings' original spiritual essence and nature serves as the process of survival and dependence. This entails establishing conditions for enhancing the spiritual seed causes, transforming all actions within the human world into opportunities and foundations for elevation. In this earthly star system, sentient beings, through their choices in the journey of survival, are provided with the conditions to advance toward the cultivation of spiritual seed causes.
Sentient beings and original spirits often struggle to comprehend and fully grasp the methods of ascension—how to proceed, how to act, and how to create the karmic conditions for their own upward elevation. This must be understood! Moreover, it is essential to know how to transform these karmic conditions for ascension into the foundational functions for transcending to higher realms, and indeed, to achieve this integration from within the human world.
Furthermore, by taking present existence as the foundation for constructing the means of transcendence, and by using the conditions for transcendence—specifically, the threshold of human survival—to elevate the causes of existence, it is through the screening of causal qualities that this is achieved. Moreover, it relies on the DNA of the human world, precisely because human DNA serves as both the causal substance and the genetic basis.
How can one attain transcendence?
This is precisely the fundamental cause for growth and elevation, which holds a significant and crucial key point. Moreover, for all human beings in the vast universe, it is essential to undergo the "action of purification" and pass through the "process of filtration and cleansing" in their daily existence, thereby achieving the basic concept inherent in the "condition of serene contemplation."
This purification process involves the sedimentation, removal, and filtration of all past impurities. Through this "purification process," sentient beings in the human world can achieve the same effect as "tranquil contemplation and selection." These interconnected actions lead to growth and elevation.
It is precisely through such conditions that the primordial spirits, descended from the Wuji, can attain pure and clear actions—radiant, luminous, and perfectly rounded—illuminating the entire process of thorough comprehension. Moreover, based on these fundamental requirements, it becomes possible to promote the elevation of the basic functions of sentient beings in the human world, through the process of "purification and refinement."
Riding the Wave and Elevating Oneself is Transcendence
Cheng Yue—it is through such conditions that one attains what is required by the human world, enabling oneself to enter into the purification of "body, mind, and spirit." This must be accomplished, elevated, and purified within the human realm. How, then, can one integrate the "body, temperament, and spirituality"? It is essential to cleanse the defiled accumulations of the "eighth consciousness" from the past!
Not only must sentient beings be enabled to elevate their Mahayana foundations within the human realm, but also to cultivate talents who may in the future attain the ranks of sages, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas. This achievement must be realized through such causes and conditions, precisely because it stems from the cleansing actions of one's own "eighth consciousness."
This is not merely a matter of relying on merits, virtues, and wisdom alone; it is, moreover, a highly practical necessity for future transcendence. Precisely because it arises from the human world, it serves as both the fundamental cause and the pivotal opportunity for upward growth. It is not just about general elevation; it is about striving alongside the cosmos to surpass and endure for generations to come.
What constitutes the fundamental foundation of humanity?
Foundation – It is the integration within the human world of the original causes and opportunities that can lead to upward elevation. Precisely because, in the process of transcending, the foundation inevitably exhibits unique tendencies, these can be understood through its functions. Under the influence of an unfavorable foundation, how should one re-elevate the foundation? How should it be repositioned?
Thus, how should one incorporate the virtuous causes and conditions, as well as the opportunities for blessings and wisdom, which are beyond the comprehension of the human world, through the function of fundamental qualities? How do the inherent causes within the foundation exist, when sentient beings fundamentally cannot perceive them? If only the original qualities of humanity could be revealed before your eyes.
How can one come to know, and what about the process of the original cause? If one cannot thoroughly comprehend the function of the primordial foundation, and what the cause itself is! Then one must understand that by clarifying through the original cause, one can illuminate all things. Precisely when there are no ripples or waves, one can see clearly even beyond a thousand miles. Such a condition is the fundamental function inherent in the foundation.
How to Transcend the Foundation
How can fundamental conditions be transformed through the human world? It is essential to genuinely allow all past impure thoughts to settle, be cleared away, and be sifted. Moreover, one must integrate oneself into the unity of "body, mind, and spirit." If any one of these is lacking, they cannot interconnect or communicate with one another.
This is an inability to comprehend the fundamental cause and opportune moment for elevating one's eighth consciousness. It is precisely due to such conditions and karmic affinities that sentient beings, through the tempering process in the human world, can thoroughly understand which ways of living should be applied in daily life to benefit themselves.
If one is compassionate towards all sentient beings in the human world yet lacks the capacity for self-improvement and cultivation, it becomes impossible to unify the "body, mind, and spirit" as one. In such a state, existence is reduced to mere survival, utterly incapable of glimpsing a vaster and more expansive cosmic expanse.
To understand that in the human world, a mere hundred years is but a fleeting moment, how then can one lay the foundation for transcendence over countless millennia? In the realm of humanity, it is essential to have a process that provides the means for cultivation. Only by understanding the right methods can one transform; if the methods are unsuitable, one will merely endure a life of "suffering and hardship" in the human world.
Enhancement of Body, Mind, and Spirit
Fundamentally unaware of how to properly utilize the ways of existence in the human world, one fails to advance toward greater growth. Therefore, it is essential to clarify whether the methods are correct or not, as only then can one achieve transcendence in body, mind, and spirit, becoming the master of oneself. This is precisely the condition and function that sentient beings ought to understand.
This is what aligns with the purpose and objectives as demonstrated by Heaven, rather than being confined and hindered by religious doctrines upon entering a religion, which also prevents one from fully realizing their own process of thorough understanding. Thus, for sentient beings to observe: it is necessary to have such experiences reenacted and to grow from them, benefiting both oneself and all beings—only then is it correct!
Through the elevation of foundational causes and conditions, this affinity is integrated into the education and culture of sentient beings, which can be fundamentally realized through the human world. Moreover, it fosters a greater affinity that penetrates to the essence of religion—what is its original nature? It is precisely because of the process of being nurtured by religion that one develops a more intimate and natural disposition compared to beings without cultivation.
The Human Body Can Emit Its Own Light—Q&A
It is because of elevation, a process of reformation where one's inherent nature is revealed, that it radiates from one's own body. By manifesting and elevating one's original true nature through "mind and spirituality," one can, through religious refinement, emit a greater "radiance of the Buddha's heart." As for the energy body manifested by this "radiance of the Buddha's heart," how is it understood?
It is precisely through worldly experiences that growth and development are achieved, which is the manifestation and maturation of a truly "Buddha-hearted radiance" energy body. Whether sentient beings and original spirits can attain growth and accomplishments in the human world can be clearly observed by examining the nature of causes and conditions within the human realm.
Rather than only after twenty or thirty years of religious devotion, it remains the same. Moreover, this kind of practice is merely: paying lip service to cultivation and discipline! In reality, there is absolutely no genuine room for transformation or improvement. Such religious practitioners are everywhere. One can search their conscience and ask themselves: how have they truly changed since entering religion?
To this day, how much has already changed? How much has been accomplished? How much has been refined? How many alterations have been made to one's habits, inertia, nature, and personality? That is what one understands most clearly in all one's actions—ha ha!
Elevating the essence to engage in creation; purifying the original spirit, inherently sublime.
The process of purification must be clearly understood;  
Even more wondrous is the cleansing through serene contemplation.
Riding the foundation of transcendence relies on evolution;  
The flower of true heart blooms through human karma.
Habit, custom, and innate nature combined,  
Transforming boundlessly, heaven bestows its splendor.
This verse! With all sentient beings and original spirits, it serves as mutual validation and fulfillment. It can indeed become the fundamental cause and opportune moment for one's own growth in the future. This process of purification in the human world—if one waits until after death to contemplate transformation—then you will have no opportunity at all!
Thus, one will continue to cycle through the vortex of successive existences. In truth, through the human realm, there is indeed a process of purification that is very genuine. Everyone has worked hard, and it is evident that the momentum of Guan Chong Xin has recently surpassed many, showing indeed much greater progress compared to previous years—this is truly commendable and worthy of celebration! Keep striving diligently! Future growth is just around the corner. Today, I have taken up some of your time and will now return to the heavens.

The Seventh Chapter of The Infinite Dao: A Firm Foundation and the Arrangement of Truth
How to Establish a Firm Foundation
From the perspective of enhancing the essence of spiritual causes, it is essential for sentient beings to understand how to transcend their foundational roots and elevate the source of their causes. This means becoming the master of oneself! Furthermore, when observing sentient beings in the human world, it is often seen that their "spirituality, mind, and body" work in counterproductive ways.
In such circumstances, it is quite normal that, driven by the necessities of survival, one may betray the spiritual qualities that should be manifested. Often, by citing the conditions of human existence, one also makes it impossible to break through the constraints of survival. What is truly needed is a fresh initiative for elevation. Yet, in the human world, people frequently resort only to actions aimed at mere survival.
It is fundamentally impossible to bring the function of a pure and luminous spirit into clarity. In the human world, one is inevitably bound by one's own actions and further constrained by their effects. Moreover, if such obstacles cannot be dissolved, they will, through their very existence, inflict harm upon the stability of one's foundation. Most human beings are precisely like this!
And what of the foundation of humanity?
The function of the foundation—is to enable sentient beings to elevate themselves within the human realm. Due to the desires and necessities of human existence, the human world is often constrained by the pressures and helplessness of survival. When there is a need for the conditions of livelihood, yet they cannot be fully met, all available means are inevitably manifested in the human world.
If one can skillfully employ proper methods, there is nothing to criticize. However, if one habitually resorts to improper means, it will lead to the creation of further evil karma in the human world. Consequently, one betrays one's innate conscience and moral nature, and in the future, across time and space, will inevitably face retribution through the cycle of cause and effect. In truth, everyone understands this, yet feels helpless against it.
Why is it that in the human realm, so many sentient beings are like this? Indeed, throughout the cycles of reincarnation in the human world, it has always been this way! Moreover, such circumstances are far too numerous, leading to the sinking of sentient beings into the turbid and evil world of the five impurities—a reality that Heaven itself is unwilling to witness.
For sentient beings, by establishing a firm foundation and steady steps, when encountering many setbacks, dissatisfactions, or adversities, one can apply wisdom to adjust and transform, thereby freeing oneself from such predicaments. It is essential to draw upon various methods of wisdom to dissolve and transform hardships, which is precisely the manifestation of wisdom.
A solid foundation enhances the cultivation of wisdom.
Foundation and Method Application: By drawing upon the accumulated wisdom of humanity's past and combining it with one's own reflective thinking, it is possible to resolve such predicaments. When encountering similar challenges in the future, one can then rely on this accumulated experience as a foundation for greater growth, serving as both the fundamental cause and the opportune moment for development.
It is precisely through the process of establishing a solid foundation that one can proceed. When faced with the actions of sentient beings, it may not always be possible to rely on wisdom for choices. However, by combining past experiences with the guidance of virtuous knowledge, difficulties can be resolved with ease, and obstacles and adversities can be dissolved. Regarding the role of a solid foundation, one must understand: it is essential to grow through one's own experiences!
To understand what methods and experiences should be employed to dissolve challenges, and through the repeated application of wisdom in the accumulation of experience, one can elevate and transcend their own wisdom. Since the human world involves people and thus affairs, and affairs are composed of interconnected chains of matters, how then should one overcome these difficulties?
Stabilize the Fundamental Framework
It is essential to apply experiential wisdom and continuous refinement to achieve genuine growth, thereby expanding one's potential for greater development. This stems from a solid foundation and represents the kind of intellectual elevation that humanity ought to pursue. It is not about retreating at the first sign of difficulty or being unable to overcome challenges. Such a mindset and attitude are truly undesirable.
Steadfastness—this means creating space and opportunities for greater growth amidst the constraints of life's circumstances. Because the methods commonly applied in the human world often lead to numerous bottlenecks, one may find it difficult to break through and resolve challenges. How, then, can one elevate their wisdom through experience?
It is precisely through oneself and virtuous mentors, along with the guidance of immortals and buddhas, that we can analyze and apply the methods of the human world. By using the methods of the "real world" to "apply the real world," we can certainly overcome the difficulties we once found insurmountable. Sometimes, in the present moment, it may not be possible to immediately resolve or dissolve such predicaments.
Time can be exchanged for space.
However, the principle of "trading time for space" can only be applied when one has sufficient time to resolve all their predicaments. From this perspective, matters that often require immediate resolution in the present moment should be addressed promptly, so as not to leave any difficulties for the future. This demands the application of "wise judgment" in making such decisions.
Under such circumstances, to build a solid foundation, one may apply the strategy of "trading time for space," and sometimes also "trading space for time." By making choices between these two approaches and applying them interchangeably, one can surely resolve personal predicaments and enhance the application of wisdom. When encountering similar situations again, how can one leverage this experience to foster further growth?
Foundation Consolidation Project – From the perspective of the human world: How can a foundation be made stable? It is essential to understand: One must not resort to underhanded or dishonest methods. Instead, it is necessary to proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint with each move. Only then can each step be firmly grounded and each step advance steadily. This can also be achieved by honestly accumulating practical experiences from daily life and applying them in everyday living.
There will be a tangible effect and benefit. How can we solidify the foundation? It is essential to enhance it through one's own interests, because sentient beings often face "ambiguous" choices, making it difficult to reach a definitive decision. This is precisely due to insufficient knowledge and lack of experience.
The Necessity of the Zhaji Project
Due to the limitations of one's own wisdom and various constraints on judgment, it is essential to rely on a value system to determine what conclusions and choices are correct. Moreover, the presence of such a value system enables one to make firm and decisive judgments and decisions, avoiding ambiguity.
It is determined by one's own judgment! By taking charge of one's values, one can assess through personal conviction whether such values are worth pursuing and aspiring to. This is the result of judgment and choice; thus, with a solid foundation—under such conditions—one can achieve the standards set by one's own determination.
In the human world, it is a common action often cited by sentient beings, and all processes follow this pattern. Because there exists the concept of value judgment, one can, through the function of their own thinking, propel themselves forward and grow. This means that from a solid foundation, one can firmly establish all their fundamental endeavors.
I wonder if everyone is aware: within the process of establishing a solid foundation, how should the groundwork be laid? That is, through the "determination of values" and discernment in making choices—can this be understood? Moreover, it allows one, while striving to firmly establish the foundation, to affirm and discern that the values being pursued are indeed correct and favorable conditions.
Spiritual nature is transformed through substance,  
Elevating the causes of existence with boundless goodness.
DNA functions to grow, surpassing the foundation to ascend ever higher.
To ensure the foundation of the project is solid, it must be constructed with exceptional value.
Judging the future as an idea; Contemplating affirmation is progress.
This verse! When we, as sentient beings, engage in mutual and detailed inquiry and exploration, it can naturally be applied to the pursuit of future goals, fostering growth and accomplishment. It is precisely through our own diligent efforts and choices that we can truly benefit! Today, descending with a reverent heart, I may disturb for a while longer. After bidding farewell to old friends once again, our reunion shall surely be filled with abundant conversation!
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sacred Decree of Wuji
##Pangu the Great Emperor
October 24, 2003, the twenty-ninth day of the ninth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
In the ethereal void, spirits gather at the sacred altar;  
Immortal maidens join in support, honoring the heart's devotion.
All beings of good affinity are guided across,  
The Great Dao unfolds as heaven ordains.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Supreme Lord of Dao and Virtue, the Heavenly Venerable of Daoism, has descended to Chongxin to compose the seventh chapter of "The Great Dao Without Limits," offering insights on "solidifying one's foundation" for our understanding. This enables us to learn how to firmly establish our roots, allowing ourselves to ascend and progress upward.
Rather than retreating at the first sign of minor setbacks or difficulties, which is not truly facing and resolving matters, one should understand: how did the problem arise? And how can the difficulties be overcome? This allows both experience and wisdom to grow, and since it is a deeply personal and unforgettable firsthand experience, is it not worth cherishing and celebrating?
Whether it be good or bad, it is through personal experience that one elevates their wisdom and insight; thus, after centuries have passed, how would one view all present states of mind? Would it be with a gentle smile, or with tears of sorrow? This is for each individual to realize and cherish! It is precisely through such growth in wisdom—can it be truly understood?
Chapter 24: Creating Something from Nothing
##Rainbow Immortal Maiden of the Void
October 31, 2003, the seventh day of the tenth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Auspicious tidings arrive, drawing fortune near,  
All are blessings bestowed from heaven's sphere.
The venerable Elder De now turns to the great Dao, opening the way,  
The Patriarch composes the "Chapter on the Path of Broad Transformation."
The Foundation of the Path of Moral Transformation
During the process of establishing a solid foundation, it becomes clear that to promote the expansion of the Great Dao, significant actions are necessary to elevate the living conditions of sentient beings. In the human world, this requires that humans, through their own actions, fulfill the essential tasks of enhancing and meeting the demands of their desired way of life.
The conditions and causes within the vast universe are such that only through the desires and pursuits of the human world can their fundamental essence be attained. What, then, are the necessary conditions to achieve the actual fulfillment of these desires? It must be clearly understood that what is sought must be obtained through the human world—through the orientation toward real material existence and practical survival.
Honghua—is sustained by the expansion and nurturing of principles, as the expansion and nurturing must be grounded in truth. Without the reliance on genuine truth and principles, it becomes difficult to establish the conditions for expansion. Moreover, without this foundation, one cannot even begin to comprehend the process of nurturing. Within such conditions of propagation and cultivation, what is to be done? And what conditions are necessary to achieve it?
Religion must be propagated and promoted.
Only then can the fundamental role of propagation be fully manifested; and what conditions can serve as the essential tasks for the foundation of propagation? It is necessary to take "moral norms" as the standard! Because the true principles are universally applicable, not confined to any single place, and they manifest across all customs and traditions.
The human world is governed by the causes and conditions that can be propagated downward, and it must be guided by the true principles in order to speak of establishing a foundation for propagation. Only by firmly rooting one's steps can one gradually achieve success. It is essential to rely on the foundation of propagation and to understand clearly: the expansion of this foundation requires a tangible and steadfast process of dependence!
It is through the educational and cultural curricula of the human world that the fundamental aspects of human society can be elevated to a higher level. However, if these means are not applied appropriately, they often lead to numerous barriers and obstacles, frequently hindering one's own progress and growth.
It is precisely because one cannot rely on the conditions and causes for spreading the teachings that one encounters even more difficulties that cannot be clearly understood, and even suffers repeated obstacles. Consequently, one cannot establish the true foundation for the causes and conditions of spreading the teachings. It is essential to understand clearly: In the process of the Great Dao's unfolding, what are all its virtues and blessings? And what benefits can they bring?
How should the main body of the Honghua Dao Course be structured?
Can it provide aspiration and refuge for all sentient beings in the vast universe? Moreover, in the conditions for spreading teachings, it is essential to have a true grand direction for guidance. If one fails to comprehend the process through which the virtues and graces of Heaven are manifested, then one cannot integrate with the great virtues and graces of the universe. Among sentient religions, such bottlenecks and obstacles often arise!
This kind of mission to propagate the teachings must be grounded in the expansion of religion. Moreover, regarding the expansion of religion, it is essential to elevate this mission to propagate the teachings—only then can it be considered genuine and true! It requires significant responsibility and action, not only within religion itself. It is precisely through such fundamental practices that one achieves self-fulfillment and also benefits all sentient beings.
If one cannot rely on a process of greater growth, how can there be the fundamental causes and conditions for greater expansion? It is precisely because, along the path, one must understand that one's own responsibilities and actions are ultimately achieved through humanity! Correspondingly, there will also be favorable conditions of good causes and conditions to benefit oneself and all sentient beings.
There is a kind of virtue that benefits oneself and all sentient beings greatly. However, if it cannot be guided by the truths of heaven and earth as its foundation, and merely consists of sacrifices and devotion made within the confines of religion itself, it fundamentally fails to uphold the essence of the scriptures. It becomes nothing more than practice for the sake of practice—a common occurrence in religious life.
Framework for the Implementation of the Dao Path
Regarding the conditions and causes for the propagation of the Great Dao, if the path cannot be advanced, it will inevitably encounter numerous obstacles and be unable to break through such predicaments. Even within compassionate religions, there may be no greater methods to invoke for its promotion. This is precisely because the mission and causes of the Dao's path are passed down from generation to generation!
In the responsibility to Heaven, can one integrate and disseminate the duties and missions one undertakes? It is essential to thoroughly and genuinely comprehend the functions of all the scriptures and writings of one's religion. If such understanding is achieved, and it is indeed profound, then expanding and promoting them is merely a matter of time!
However, as for the project bestowed by Heaven, now that it has been decreed, how should it be applied and carried out? For the compassionate religion, this presents a great challenge. If it can be promoted, many virtuous connections will surely come together to contribute to this grand endeavor. Yet, if it fails to advance, numerous obstacles will arise.
Therefore, it is impossible to carry forward according to the predetermined schedule of Heaven. Since religion itself does not take any action, it is necessary for humans to promote and propagate it in order to expand its reach. This precisely involves using human methods to guide people into taking refuge in religious faith. Such is the primary function of "using people to guide people."
It is necessary to employ human methods for promotion.
It is precisely because of the "advancement of human language" that we can attract relatives and friends with good affinity to join the ranks of religious faith. Moreover, within the conditions of the path and mission, it is precisely humans who carry out these tasks, making it the best method for guiding others. In Taiwan today, there are many such religious conditions serving as guidance.
Through such conditional guidance, one can direct oneself towards the greater causes and opportunities for growth. This involves using the conditions of the human world to achieve the principle of "guiding people with people," serving as the fundamental means for leading, guiding, and propagating transformation. It is precisely by employing human methods that this can be genuinely and effectively advanced; otherwise, how else could such conditions be truly expanded?
In the propagation of the Dao, it is essential to clearly discern whether the methods employed are appropriate and whether they can yield genuine results and efficacy. This is the fundamental role that the human world plays in its advancement. It is evident that for a religion to spread its teachings, what conditions must it meet? Precisely, it must be able to guide humanity in the human world to deliver sentient beings in the present moment.
In this era of flourishing diverse teachings, new religions are emerging one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. If they lack a solid foundation and are unable to draw upon the truths of heaven and earth for support, they will struggle to achieve greater growth and development. Ultimately, they cannot fully comprehend that the great virtue and grace manifested by heaven and earth are interconnected with the void, the infinite, and the vast cosmos!
Establishing a firm foundation relies on truth,  
All endeavors to propagate the way proceed with ease.
Using human means to guide the crossing,  
The transformation of person into person is the opportune moment.
Throughout the journey of life, myriad teachings arise,  
Like spring bamboo shoots after rain, each school its own method.
Clarifying the universe to unfold its principles,  
The truth of the infinite void holds the reins.
This verse! Fellow sentient beings and original spirits, relying on and supporting each other through religious faith, should have greater opportunities and space for growth. In the propagation and transformation of the Great Dao, it is correct to base it on human beings nurturing human beings! Do you understand? Observing the growing momentum of Chongxin, I truly rejoice for Chongxin. Strive on! After a brief disturbance, I shall return to the heavens.
Chapter 25: True Emptiness, Marvelous Existence
##Fuxi the Great Emperor
November 4, 2003, the 11th day of the 10th lunar month, Year of Guiwei (Tuesday)
The Void and the Infinite are one family from the start,  
A colorful crane descends to drive through the mortal dust.
Immortals and maidens gather today in joyful meet,  
Welcoming all virtuous souls with affection sweet.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Primordial Hongjun Patriarch descended to Chongxin to compose the eighth chapter of "The Great Dao Without Limits," offering an exposition on the path of propagating the Dao. This is intended for the human world to understand how to respond when encountering difficulties and obstacles during the process of propagation.
It must be overcome through human methods, which aligns with the foundational role of the path of propagation and transformation. To genuinely elevate one's religious faith, how should those devoted to religion enhance their own life orientation? I shall not delay your meeting further. Regarding the recent Dharma assembly, the unity and collective effort were commendable, though there were minor imperfections. These must be carefully reflected upon and diligently improved.
Chapter 26: Growth from Existence
##Celestial Worthy of the Void-Penned Brush
November 7, 2003, the fourteenth day of the tenth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
The Primordial Qi pervades the cosmos,  
The Heavenly Truth reaches across all continents.
Mysterious Supreme Being descends to the hall, expanding the cosmos with virtuous grace and protection.
Essential Actions for Expanding the Universe
When examining the foundation of the sacred path, one must consider: under what conditions and circumstances has a religious lineage acted? Through what state of mind has the sacred path been promoted and expanded? Only by firmly establishing each step can one understand how to fulfill the sacred duties and missions undertaken.
Moreover, how can one achieve the utmost perfection in fulfilling the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven, while also aligning with the aspirations and pursuits of all sentient beings across religions and nations in the world today? This necessitates that all sentient beings in the human world can fully integrate into the vast universe, without any sense of discomfort or unease.
Moreover, in all actions, one must not deviate from the guiding principles of human existence in this world. It is through the consistent application of such strength and perseverance that the true process of fulfilling a sacred mission can be realized. This allows us to understand that in the human world, the approach of "being human as humans ought to be" should be promoted, and it must also align with the customs and conditions of the local society.
How, then, is the purpose of expansion defined?
Only then can the people of this region find a place to belong, ensuring that every condition fulfilled meets the essential requirements for survival in a humanitarian world. By providing the necessities for humane existence, it also enables individuals to pursue the elevation of their "inner nature and spirituality," thereby promoting the virtuous causes and conditions that foster goodness.
Furthermore, one can also cultivate the causes and conditions for self-improvement through virtuous deeds, which aligns with the aspirations of the Great Dao for existence. Thus, should the human world adhere to the role of virtuous deeds? It must be guided by the local customs and traditions, precisely because virtuous deeds represent the noble and desirable aspect that humanity seeks and aspires to!
In the human world, without the application of virtue and morality, it becomes impossible to exemplify the local customs and social conditions in a positive manner. It is essential that such conditions and circumstances, in every nation, are upheld by moral principles and causes. Furthermore, for all sentient beings living in each region, it is necessary to align their survival orientation with the imperative of nurturing life harmoniously.
Attaching to the concepts of "goodness" and "virtue" lies in the principle that "goodness brings good retribution" and "virtue yields virtuous effects." This is inevitably reflected in their counterparts, for the combination of goodness and virtue forms the very foundation upon which humanity relies: the basis for blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth. This holds true across all nations, precisely because of the interdependent functions that goodness and virtue provide.
How to Expand and Promote Connections
Therefore, it is only possible to bestow upon sentient beings the blessings of virtue, prosperity, longevity, and wealth by establishing conditions for their manifestation. It is essential that within the nation, these conditions can be judged by humanity. Furthermore, after death, all accounts are calculated by the heavens through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, integrating future blessings and calamities.
It is the sustenance bestowed by Heaven upon future descendants and oneself for prosperity, longevity, and wealth. Such conditions enable the propagation of the Great Dao to expand and be practiced within a region, relying on the virtuous customs of that area as the foundation for existence. Humanity abides by the principles of morality and ethics, showing compassion for living habits, all of which remain inseparable from the norms of human relations and virtue.
The universe bestows its virtues upon all sentient beings.
The cosmos—that is, the vast universe and its spatial expanse—must, for any nation in the world, be guided by the orientation of survival. Precisely because survival is the fundamental threshold, it is essential to establish both a food chain and a chain of affairs, both of which manifest within human society. These chains govern the necessary conditions for survival, and the question then becomes: how are such conditions to be exercised?
Through the necessary processes of human existence, it is precisely because "where there are people, there are affairs; where there are affairs, they must be handled; and handling must be brought to completion" that all chains of affairs are combined to provide the function of the food chain. Only in this way can sentient beings be granted the causal conditions for elevation within the human world.
The role of Wuji is to ensure that after all beings descend into the mundane world, they must mutually elevate their "mind, spirit, and body," transcending through their own existence. How, then, can such conditions be cultivated and manifested as necessary for survival? It is only through the process of human experience that one can "discard the dross and retain the essence"!
Otherwise, all sentient beings could smoothly transcend, but if they are unable to reform any of their own habits, what then of their actions? Can they meet the conditions for ascending to the azure heavens? It is far too difficult! Moreover, across the vast world, it is necessary to reform, elevate, and transcend the habits of all beings.
All sentient beings across the vast world
The Universe—Many sentient beings may ask: Why not allow the original spirits of all living beings in the human world to return directly to the sublime realm of the heavenly principle? Would that not be more beautiful and easier for transcendence? Moreover, under such conditions, it is unclear what role your accumulated habits and tendencies, formed over countless past lifetimes, would play.
Is it possible to transform and transcend within this lifetime? It all depends on how one conducts oneself! However, if one's "habits, inertia, innate nature, and personality" do not manifest, there may be such an opportunity. Yet, when faced with obstacles in the chain of affairs, what then? Can one comprehend it? It is not so easy!
All at once, such undesirable habits, ingrained tendencies, inherent dispositions, and personal traits are each revealed one by one, thereby obstructing the opportunity to return to the heavenly principle. In the realm of the azure heavens, how can such habits align with the light and ethereal magnetic and energetic fields of the azure sky to transcend? Indeed not! There are far too many such behaviors in the human world.
The Spiritual Elevation of All Beings in the Universe
Regarding the mind, spirit, and body of each individual, all are subject to erosion by their own: habits, inertia, inherent nature, and personality. Over prolonged periods of time, and through each successive lifetime, impurities accumulate, further adding to the turbidity. Thus, life after life, they sink into this world of five impurities and evils—what can be done about it?
How then can there be a moment of fresh return? Not so! This, in turn, lies in the fact that the heavens have bestowed many religions to descend and transform through the process of education and cultivation, allowing sentient beings to reform themselves, and to thoroughly cleanse all such unwholesome habits, inertia, and personal traits!
This allows one to attain a light and agile body, free from all burdens, enabling free movement throughout the vast universe. However, this merely aligns with the first step toward one's own transcendence and return. It is essential to understand that such conditions are achieved and attained by oneself. Can this be comprehended? Not necessarily!
Expanding the Universe—It is precisely because there is no distinction between self and others, no division among religious sects, no separation by nation or race, and no discrimination between wealth and poverty, that all are equally cherished and universally loved by Heaven. The great virtue and grace bestowed upon all beings under heaven are further extended through compassionate virtue and grace descending upon them. This is truly fair and just, descending to achieve the fulfillment of all living beings under heaven.
The foundation of the path must be steadfast,  
Expanding to care for all under heaven.
All sentient beings await the grace of virtue,  
For the heavens' protection never runs dry.
Virtue spreads its grace to rescue the common people,  
Such is the profound virtue bestowed by the sovereign heavens.
Each one is descended from heaven,  
Returning to transcendence and further ascension.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it serves to foster growth by reforming one's habits, inertia, innate nature, and personality. How can one diminish unwholesome innate tendencies and enhance virtuous qualities and wisdom? Through the trials experienced in the human realm, one achieves growth and transcendence! Today, observing Chongxin's vibrant energy and momentum, I have lingered awhile before returning to the celestial realm.
Chapter 27: Truth in Falsehood, Reality in Emptiness
## Emperor Shennong
November 14, 2003, the twenty-first day of the tenth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Void and emptiness are the true reality; splendor and blossoms are the continuation of virtue's grace.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the stage, a meeting filled with deep feeling;  
The Great Way is boundless, its truths inscribed in sacred texts.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Mysterious Supreme Being from the Primordial Heavenly Pivot descends to compose the ninth chapter of *The Great Dao Without Limits: Expanding the Cosmos*, elucidating the habitual tendencies of the mind and nature. It explains why primordial spirits descend to the mortal realm due to karmic connections, and how to employ transcendent methods for elevation!
It is precisely by advancing oneself within the web of causes and conditions that one achieves elevation; thus, one must undergo all the trials and tribulations of human existence in order to attain growth. Otherwise, if one lacks the bitterness and hardships of all worldly experiences, how could there be any genuine opportunity for growth? Indeed, upon careful reflection, this becomes clear!
Furthermore, the power achieved through opposing actions is even greater and more abundant than that achieved through direct ones. This is precisely why the great virtuous monks of ancient times, having endured the trials of centuries, can serve as a testament to this truth. Their legacy has been passed down through the ages, enduring and remaining vibrant in the human world.
In the seventh month of the Guiwei year, a month dedicated to teaching filial piety, repaying kindness, and expressing gratitude, there should be no psychological fear in the human world. Instead, one ought to perform acts of gratitude as a way to repay the toils and efforts of elders. This is how all virtuous beings among humanity repay their ancestors and loved ones for their past hardships and nurturing grace.
Chapter 28: The Realm of Wuji Heaven
## Celestial Venerable of the Void and Imperial Transmission
November 18, 2003, the twenty-fifth day of the tenth month in the guiwei year (Tuesday)
The plate reveals the primordial mechanism of the infinite;  
Ancient virtues and blessings spread across a thousand miles.
The Great Dao is selfless, only virtue assists;  
The Emperor manifests the Heavenly Text, the foundation's base.
Virtue is bestowed upon all living beings under heaven.
Sentient beings can comprehend the role of elevating the primordial spirit, but what are the conditions and effects of the actions undertaken by a particular lineage? This can be clarified in the present era, as throughout the entire process of human existence in this world, it remains impossible to understand the function of "the benevolent grace of heaven and earth." It is precisely through this understanding that we should achieve "the widespread dissemination of virtue across the world."
It is precisely in the realms of survival and religious faith that one must consider: What conditions are required? How should one transcend them? These can be understood through daily conduct. As for the educational and cultural courses within religion—what are they? One can certainly come to know, through the principles that all things between heaven and earth rely upon, what great virtues and blessings lie in these conditions.
De Bu—it is precisely the alignment with the righteous principles and moral foundations of heaven and earth. If De Bu is used to protect all sentient beings under heaven, and the exercise of great moral grace is carried out through the human world, then under the condition of adhering to the truths of heaven and earth, how can De Bu be evenly distributed among all beings in the universe, thereby further benefiting humanity and aiding its upward growth!
The sun and moon illuminate the heavens and earth, offering their protection.
It is the radiance of the sun and moon that shines upon all living beings, bestowing virtue and grace upon them. This radiance of the sun and moon represents fairness and justice, illuminating all beings on earth. However, when it comes to the myriad things and races within the Earth's star system, the "radiance of the sun and moon" only extends to this planetary system alone, and it is difficult for it to reach the entire galaxy.
However, it is little known that the same principle applies to other star systems as well. If the heavens and earth of that star system protect all living beings throughout the vast universe, it is akin to the "radiance of the sun and stars" shining upon all star systems to offer protection. Yet, it is within the Earth's star system that virtue can be "bestowed" upon all living beings, which is also a manifestation of the compassion of heavenly protection and earthly guardianship.
Virtue: It is a legacy of goodness and beauty. Distribution: It is the impartial and selfless dissemination of fairness, akin to the heavens covering and the earth supporting, offering care to all. All beings and races inhabiting the Earth and its star systems are safeguarded, and they receive the compassionate care and protection of the Supreme Void Earth Mother. All fall within the scope of her governance and jurisdiction.
All living beings between heaven and earth, whether mobile or immobile, including all animals and plants, receive the compassionate radiance of "De Bu" (Virtue Bestowal) descending upon them, becoming beneficiaries of its protective grace and benevolent influence. In its great compassionate function, De Bu is like a mother, offering all her care and protection to her own children.
The world is like a mother caring for all living beings.
For all beings dwelling within this Earth star system, it is precisely so. It is due to this condition of great compassion and protection—like that of one's own birth mother—that the multitudes of sentient beings in the Earth star system are cared for and nurtured. How can the maternal radiance of great compassion manifest its virtuous grace downward? It is essential to understand: How, then, is this virtuous grace bestowed and manifested downward?
Furthermore, in addressing the foundational role of "virtue and blessings," it is precisely the original spirits of sentient beings that can receive fundamental care through learning and growth. This is implemented by a "maternal radiance," which allows for the genuine accumulation of learning and growth experiences in the human world, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
Throughout the world—regardless of any nation or all races, and without distinction among the sentient beings of the East, South, West, North, or Center, nor among the races of blue, red, white, yellow, or black—there is comprehensive protection and care. Moreover, this condition of causation descends upon the Earth's star system through the vast and benevolent grace of the Heavenly Sovereign.
Such conditions represent fundamental resources that were unattainable in the ancient eras of the human world. It must be understood that in the present era, through high-tech rapid-transmission devices, time and space are compressed, allowing for comprehensive understanding. Moreover, via all telecommunication and information functions, this knowledge can be disseminated across Earth's star systems and cosmic galaxies.
Technological civilization has come to understand all things in the universe.
Being able to instantly understand events occurring thousands of miles away, with all situations unfolding before our eyes, is precisely thanks to today's technological civilization and all its research and inventions, which serve as the foundation for advancement. In terms of Earth's current modern technology, it is indeed more practical and civilized compared to ancient societies of the past.
From the perspective of the Heavenly Realm: it is precisely to disseminate technological civilization within the Earth's star system, so that all sentient beings in the universe may attain greater convenience, widespread access, and enhanced comfort. In the vast expanse of the cosmos, it is the Heavenly Realm that sends down and "lends" technological talents to fulfill this purpose.
To gain a comprehensive and clear understanding of this condition, one will see that the technological advancements of our era are progressing at a breathtaking pace. It is through the process of "borrowing expertise" that technological civilization is researched and invented, thereby elevating the technological civilization of the Earth's planetary system. This elevation can bring immense blessings to all living beings within the Earth's planetary system.
Through the extraterrestrial civilization technology—specifically the "borrowing of expertise" mechanism—research, invention, and the creation of great virtues and blessings can be achieved. This approach precisely cultivates virtue and benefits both oneself and all sentient beings, serving one's own interests while also benefiting others. By spreading such virtue to all sentient beings across the world, we can understand that the technological knowledge acquired by humanity must be progressively elevated step by step.
Virtue Spreads Across the World, Transcending and Elevating All
Why then must we "borrow" inventions and creations? It is precisely because the technological civilization of outer star systems surpasses that of the current Earth's star system by thousands of times. Today's technology is merely an evolutionary development built upon foundational groundwork. To ensure that all virtues and benefits extend throughout the world, it is essential that every living being can partake in these advancements!
Through the cycle of rebirth in the human world, one achieves elevation rather than remaining perpetually trapped in the cycle. This is an indelible truth, and it allows for the growth of one's innate conscience and spiritual ascension. By undergoing rebirth, one can expel all past impurities and stagnant energies, making necessary evolution possible.
It is precisely within the human world that one cultivates virtue and grace, creating and elevating oneself through personal effort. Without this, one will remain perpetually mired in the cycles of Earth and its celestial systems. Understand this: how can one contend with heaven and earth for eternity? This is not an empty slogan, nor an unattainable illusion. It is a tangible achievement—reached through one’s own creation and transcendence, a genuine ascent and return to one’s origin. Can you grasp this truth?
Heaven and earth, through causes and conditions, create all beings;  
Virtue's grace descends and transforms, all achieving fulfillment.
Technology and civilization look to the future,  
Creation and research validate virtue and intent.
Virtue spreads among all beings, calling them to return;  
Under heaven's vast expanse, all may come to pursue it.
Creating new life in the universe,  
We must strengthen our resolve and walk together.
This verse! Let us study it together with all sentient beings; by carefully contemplating its meaning, one can understand that in reforming and growing through one’s own actions in the human world, and in elevating and transcending oneself in reality, it is essential to proceed step by step with a firm foundation, so as to remain unwavering. Let us take this moment to share and reminisce about our time apart.
Chapter 29 The Vast Universe
##Ancestral Founder of China, Ancient Emperor Huangdi
November 21, 2003, the twenty-eighth day of the tenth lunar month (Friday), Year of Guiwei
The Hall of the Boundless Void, bestowed from the infinite,  
Shines with rainbow light, limitless and eternal.
The Immortal Maiden gathers with all beings of affection,  
Sincerely celebrating, crimson clouds rise high.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor Pan Gu descends to compose "The Great Dao Without Extremes: Chapter Ten—Virtue Spreads Across the World." This work elucidates a true path that enables us to transcend the root of karma and return to our origin, as conveyed in the "Heavenly Truth Transmission." Such profound teachings have rarely been bestowed upon the world since ancient times.
Only at the Yichongxin Hall in Taiwan can such an opportunity and literary work arise. Moreover, one may carefully observe whether any other lineage in the world today possesses such a favorable opportunity and affinity. Indeed not! It is precisely because the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are being transmitted truthfully that the Chongxin lineage has been entrusted with the divine will of Heaven to undertake this great vehicle of dissemination.
This is no ordinary Taoist hall; it is an extraordinary achievement of a timeless affinity, laying a foundation of great virtue and grace. I wonder if all you noble students will cherish it? Or perhaps you think there is something miraculous and extraordinary about it? If one does not hold it dear, then all of it holds little meaning. For those with such an attitude, what purpose would entering the Chongxin lineage serve? And what, then, is the journey of a Mahayana practitioner meant to be?
Carefully contemplate the profound intentions of Heaven; the celestial immortals and Buddhas hold high hopes for Chongxin. Through the diligent teachings of these enlightened mentors, can one attain Buddhahood in a single lifetime and even return to a state of perfect transcendence? Precisely by one's own efforts and steadfast practice can such affinity and opportunity be obtained, allowing sentient beings to cultivate and increase their goodness.
Today, as we reverently offer birthday felicitations to the Eternal Sacred Mother, we can witness the genuine heart-to-heart communion and realization. You may use this sincere heart to uphold and propagate the "True Buddha Heart School," and there will be no need to fear that it will not expand. Through each step leaving a solid imprint, progress steadily and achieve realization. Firm determination and diligent effort are essential for establishing the foundation of Mahayana propagation.
Episode 30: The Supreme Way of the Ultimate Void
## Void Golden Pen, Celestial Worthy of Wisdom Opening
November 18, 2003, the fifth day of the eleventh month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Fu Xi initiated the cosmic order and set the heavens and earth in motion;  
His principles and wisdom brought profound benefit to all living beings.
The Eleventh Chapter of the Boundless Great Dao:  
The Emperor’s Virtue, with Compassionate Grace, Brings Salvation
The benevolent deeds of divine care
Virtue spreads across the world for all to witness. All beings in the universe, heaven and earth, are governed and guided by the divine. The future growth, its inherent causes, and the opportunities for realization can be achieved through the process of aligning with the orientation of existence. This means integrating one’s own survival into the guiding force that enables elevation—a necessary path for genuine existence in the human world.
It can thus be understood that through the grace of Shangcang, sentient beings are able to practice within a stable and comfortable living environment. This not only provides opportunities for personal growth and elevation—bestowed by Shangcang—but also, through the development of technological civilization, achieves mastery over all aspects of existence.
Sentient beings—precisely those not distinguished by heaven and earth, yin and yang, male and female, etc., encompass all animals and plants within. This includes not only all living beings throughout the vast universe, but also all processes of survival orientation and dependence, providing the fundamental causes and conditions for the human world to elevate. It offers sentient beings the opportunity to grow through the crucial stage of human existence.
Love is what nurtures humanity's growth.
It is precisely through the refinement of reincarnation that elevation occurs; otherwise, sentient beings and primordial spirits would remain forever confined to a state of mere stability and comfortable existence. Yet, it is often overlooked that the very process of refinement through reincarnation entails numerous obstacles and setbacks. Thus, one may fall into the trap of merely existing for the sake of survival!
This concept is not the original intent or purpose of the heavens. The key question is whether sentient beings can, through the primary process of purifying their original spirit—which involves merging "stillness and purification"—achieve the union of their "heart, body, and spirit." It is precisely through the trials of human existence that one attains this elevation.
Otherwise, one merely remains in a state of comfortable and stable existence, forever trapped in the vortex of reincarnation. Precisely because it is too comfortable and stable, one fails to understand the purpose of coming into this life. How should one break through the obstacles of existence? It is by ensuring that each cycle of rebirth brings greater benefit!
The benevolent grace of affectionate care.
It is precisely through one's own selection and acquisition that one can overcome the obstacles within oneself. How can the multitude of beings transform themselves through the process of survival and dependence? How can they elevate themselves? It is essential to understand in daily life how to take charge of one's own "original spirit and inherent nature"!
Only then can one avoid falling into the vortex of self-imposed obstacles. Sentient beings often find themselves harmed again in such situations and processes, which arise from ignorance and lack of clarity. They merely know they have come into the human world, and in the process of accumulating experience and acquiring knowledge, they possess the resources for inheritance, transformation, and creation passed down through generations.
However, what is the fundamental nature of its origin? This often leads one, in the process of survival and dependence, into a situation that is difficult to reverse. Under such conditions, how can one use one's own existence to achieve fulfillment? It is precisely through the cycle of rebirth and recreation that one can turn adversity into a catalyst for upward progress!
Through enduring the trials and tribulations of the human world, one can accumulate a wealth of experience, elevate knowledge into wisdom, and manifest that wisdom in action. Only then can it be said that the wise must not only benefit their own existence but also strive to reduce the vortex of evil, wrongdoing, and sin within the realm of humanity.
Caring for the well-being of all sentient beings in their way of life.
How can one break free from this predicament? It is precisely for this reason: O wise ones! Thus, the heavens impartially descend upon the vast universe, and in the face of sentient beings in the present moment, can they understand how to achieve the reliance necessary for survival in every process? There must be a greater opportunity for growth—can this be comprehended? It is exceedingly difficult!
It is essential to understand that, taking the human world as the primary cause and opportunity for existence, one can aptly apply this context. Moreover, through these conditions, one can enable all living beings to benefit endlessly, and further extend this to foster the growth and elevation of all sentient beings across the universe.
For the myriad original spirits within the vast universe to truly and profoundly benefit endlessly, it is necessary to undergo growth across numerous times and spaces before such a state can be attained. Perhaps at this moment, one might think: such conditions of cause and circumstance are impossible to achieve! Moreover, one might even believe that the celestial immortals and Buddhas of Heaven are merely speaking in lofty ideals or empty slogans!
Everything depends on human effort.
However, it is often overlooked that the essence of "human effort determines success" lies in the fact that all human endeavors are inherently tied to the realm of human existence and directly benefit from it. Moreover, even those among humanity who possess spiritual insight and can penetrate the mysteries of heaven and earth are unable to truly integrate such wisdom into the fabric of daily life.
Perhaps, at present, those who are spiritually sensitive and emotionally aware cannot fully comprehend the actual circumstances. Within the realm of human existence, how should one internalize such conditions to achieve self-realization and benefit from them? It is essential to gradually attain this through one's own seeking, step by step, avoiding any hindrance that spiritual sensitivity or psychic abilities might pose to one's own transcendence.
The essence of care—it is impartial, transcending all distinctions and religious sects. It must be realized through every aspect of existence, elevating the current technological civilization as a means of advancement. Otherwise, how can there be greater opportunities for growth? It is essential to understand: in relation to the technological civilization of our present existence, what is its true nature?
Although it is possible to comprehend, in this era, the entirety of the process is beyond the reach of even the most spiritually attuned beings. In the present moment, can sentient beings truly empathize with the evolution and transformative workings of heaven and earth? It is essential to grow with both genuine authenticity and considerable swiftness. Because there exists the function of "borrowing talents" to elevate, it becomes possible to achieve integration with the Earth's star systems.
Borrowing the function to elevate civilization.
It is precisely because civilizations that serve as "borrowed talents" will gradually achieve a dominance over the essential qualities required for survival orientation. If one doubts this, one may carefully reflect on the technological and civilizational evolution from over thirty years ago to the present era—they are truly incomparable. Have we ever deeply considered where the differences lie?
In the future, the human world will witness the continuous creation and invention of numerous unimaginable technological civilizations. As such technological civilizations unfold, there exists a "Great Dao Governing Institution" dedicated to overseeing this evolutionary process. It determines the appropriate timing for nurturing and deploying high-tech talents.
Each individual is shaped by the interplay of different times, spaces, causes, and conditions. When the blessings and affinities for the collective are particularly profound, such high-tech talents may be born into one's own family among future descendants. Reflecting on this entire process in hindsight, one may well feel deeply gratified.
Striving to cultivate outstanding descendants
It is because through one's own efforts, one can sincerely nurture virtuous descendants within one's own family. Precisely by striving to create this, one contends with Heaven for blessings that span generations, thereby bringing fortune to one's descendants. This kind of "sow one, reap ten thousand" reward—how, then, can it be attained and fulfilled?
It is in the present moment that one's own efforts will reveal the true outcome! One must understand: Heaven will never arbitrarily bestow upon one's descendants either a person of great wickedness or one of great fortune. Step by step, through one's own diligent efforts, one can attain the distinction of being a person endowed with either "hidden virtue" or "base wickedness."
It is precisely because of virtuous ancestors that virtuous blessings are bestowed upon future generations, which is indeed correct. This is the very basis upon which the Heavenly Will relies to grant such gifts, rooted in reverence of the heart. It is through reverence of the heart that these blessings are obtained and fulfilled. Can one comprehend all the mysteries within? It is through "hidden virtue" that they are attained!
Virtue bestowed upon all living beings under heaven must be rooted in hidden merit.
Those with profound virtue and deep affinities shall themselves attain the future destiny they seek.
When the civilization of future technology emerges,  
It will be born into your household of virtue and fortune.
To vie with heaven and earth for eternity,  
And win shade for one's own descendants to come.
This verse! Together with all beings and the myriad living souls, it serves as a guiding direction in the process of genuine realization. It certainly does not stray from the crucial juncture of human existence, and moreover, it carries the profound virtue of contending with heaven and earth for the benefit of countless generations. Is this not the very foundation upon which it stands?
In the future, to create a pure land in the human world—the vanguard of the Great Dao, contemplate and carry out all things, and naturally you shall attain them as they truly are. The momentum of this era is already unlike any ordinary time; strive diligently! After a brief disturbance, we shall return to the heavenly realm.
Chapter Thirty-One: The Limitless Realm of Principle
##The Heavenly Official of the Upper Prime, the Great Emperor Who Bestows Blessings
December 2, 2003, the ninth day of the eleventh month in the guiwei year (Tuesday)
Void and emptiness are the true reality;  
The falling brush is the Celestial Worthy.
Ascending the platform, gathering in assembly, life is born; in subtle words, the great Dao is revealed.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor Fuxi has personally descended to Chongxin to compose "The Boundless Great Dao · Chapter Eleven: Compassionate Care." Through this work, he bestows virtuous grace upon the Chongxin Great Dao series, enabling all of us to achieve a legacy of immense virtue that will endure for generations to come!
Perhaps such thoughts and concepts do not exist at present, but in centuries to come, it will allow everyone to truly realize that all efforts are indeed reaped by oneself. Moreover, with the virtuous karma and blessings, highly capable talents in science and technology will be born among one’s descendants—this is not mere empty talk or slogans, but will be verified as truth. Let us wait and see!
※ Can you feel a slight dizziness when sitting down and then standing up? Oh! Your cultivation has improved, congratulations! But in truth, it is not so. Some can perceive it, while others take this good opportunity to doze off—why not let yourself rest a bit! Some carefully contemplate: what is the content of what the immortals and Buddhas have spoken?
Some individuals, though physically present, have long since departed in spirit, merely using their attendance as a pretext for participation—the variations are too numerous to list. My apologies! I have pointed out your shortcomings once again, all so that you may carefully reflect: What is the true essence of all the works composed by the immortals and buddhas in this era? Can you grasp the key principles within?
Otherwise, having come today to participate in the writing, you would return empty-handed, gaining nothing at all. Can you understand that in the process of gradual cultivation, it is through accumulating bit by bit that a great source is formed? I wonder if you possess such a source? It should never run dry! Can you verify this in such a way? You yourselves know and experience it best! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 32: The Mission of the Heavenly Principle
## The Great Celestial Sovereign of the Void, the Silver Brush
December 5, 2003, the twelfth day of the eleventh month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
The divine way establishes teachings for transmission,  
Prosperous agriculture brings abundant blessings.
The Twelve Cycles of the Boundless Dao:  
Imperial Virtue Shelters All Living Beings.
Bestowing great virtue and grace to shelter all living beings.
Virtue is bestowed upon the world, creating the conditions for all sentient beings to achieve fulfillment. This requires that the blessings of fairness and justice permeate the vast universe and the earth. It is essential to extend care and protection to all living beings, enabling each individual to grow and, through learning, overcome their own ignorance and obstacles.
Moreover, in the very moment of encountering events, treat them as a process of learning and growth through conditions; it is essential to understand that this involves accumulating many valuable experiences from one's own learning journey. One can also surpass oneself by learning from the strengths of others, turning them into conditions for achievement. It is necessary to seize such opportunities, as they become the foundation for learning and growth through conditions.
If one cannot achieve improvement through learning by laying a solid foundation, it will be impossible to grow in the process of learning. It is essential to understand that in the journey of learning and growth, for all sentient beings, enhancing and surpassing oneself through the pursuit of one's interests is precisely how growth and transcendence are achieved in the present moment. This is the path followed by most people!
Why Should We Protect All Living Beings
Blessing and Protection—All sentient beings within the vast cosmos, whether animate or inanimate, including stationary plants, receive divine blessing and protection. Although the metabolism of plants follows an annual cycle, progressing through the alternation of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, their growth undergoes the process of sprouting in spring, flourishing in summer, fruiting in autumn, and resting in winter, all within the span of a single year.
This process serves as a study of the cycles of growth and change. One must understand that the growth of plants is akin to the survival and development of human life. Just as a human being goes through an entire lifetime, plants also undergo a journey of survival—from birth to old age and death. This progression moves from infancy and youth, through the vigor of maturity and flourishing, then gradually into decline with age, ultimately reaching the end of life.
Thus, it disappears from the human world, allowing humans and plants to bear witness to a phenomenon: the process from birth and gradual growth, through flourishing, into old age and withering, and finally into extinction. This is akin to all that exists in human life—the very process of a lifetime. It is essential to understand: how does this relate to the growth of plants?
Trees can have a life cycle each year.
It can be renewed each year, or endure for millennia without decline (note: like the ancient sacred trees of the mountains). However, for human life, it is impossible to be reborn anew each year after a false start. One can only experience the cycles of a few decades, much like a condition in which humans grow and mature through a single lifetime.
Thus, unlike plants, humans cannot start anew. From birth to old age and death, there is only this one lifetime, a single allotted span of time. It must be clearly understood that humans cannot "NG" and restart within one lifetime. Therefore, for all growth and development, there is the blessing and care of Heaven, ensuring fairness, fulfillment, and protection.
Protection and blessing—this has always been the consistent purpose of Heaven. It is a process that can be witnessed within the human world, precisely because the existence of plants and trees serves as testimony. It allows humanity to clearly understand that human life is but a single lifetime for each individual, with no possibility of a "NG" (take two) or starting over.
It is impossible for a human to have a lifetime each year.
If life could be started anew, it would only be a rearrangement of one's own existence, not a true rebirth into a new life. Afterward, to be born again would require establishing an entirely new configuration for life's reconstruction, merely allowing for a reshaping of its turning points. It is fundamentally impossible for life to be born again from the very beginning.
It can only be reinitiated through the recombination of life. Thus, under the protection of Heaven, all living beings can come to understand that the length of life differs between animals and plants. The existence of animals and plants (trees) serves as a metaphor for the entire journey of human life.
Thus, it is essential to cherish human life, for it cannot be reborn anew. Through the process of life's recomposition and regeneration, the virtues bestowed by heaven and earth are disseminated throughout the vast cosmos. One may learn from past experiences or, in the course of nurturing life, dissolve all ignorance in the present moment.
Through learning, one grows and accumulates a wealth of valuable experiences. Therefore, in the process of learning and growth, one must inevitably undergo numerous trials and tribulations to achieve the renewal and manifestation of experience. If one cannot empathize with this, how can one dissolve the obstacles of ignorance within oneself? This is often the way of human beings.
Life is fraught with many difficulties.
In the human world, one inevitably encounters numerous adversities and setbacks, difficulties and ignorance that obstruct the way. Troubles arise one after another, each wave following and connecting to the next, repeatedly entangling one in these obstacles. If one can thoroughly understand all the processes of human life, many difficulties and crises can be prevented from recurring.
One will also grow through many experiences, both personal and those of others. Moreover, all habits and dispositions of sentient beings are inherited from past lives into the present, accumulated from the "unfading latent causes" of the past. All the strengths and weaknesses, merits and flaws of these "unfading latent causes" will gradually manifest, allowing one to grow while preserving the virtuous habits.
Inevitably, the retribution of virtue will continue to unfold. If one fails to maintain, recreate, and manifest good habits, it will inevitably trigger the emergence of all past negative tendencies: habits, inertia, innate nature, and personality traits. In truth, what truly affects the flow of energy in one’s space is precisely what is referred to in the human world as feng shui and geomancy.
Where there is human habitation, there is the art of feng shui and geomancy.
If expressed in terms used by contemporary humanity: that is, the interplay and mutual influence between "aura and magnetic field," it is essential to clarify the concepts understood by humankind. As for the latter, how do the accumulated causes from past lives come into play? They inevitably evoke the attachments of the will to survive, or transform the flourishing of "aura and magnetic field" to take root.
It must be understood that in the vast world and among all living beings, if one remains trapped within one's own habits, tendencies, innate nature, and individuality without being able to change, one will inevitably attract a space imbued with the same kind of energy as a basis for existence. Moreover, this is what one has summoned oneself, and it is necessary, through humanity, to discern and differentiate what was referred to in the past as "feng shui and geography."
The "qi (magnetic) flow space" spoken of in the present era exists to bring about transformation. Whether through accumulated causes from past lives, the cultivation of virtue or the creation of misfortune, all will influence and determine the quality of the "qi flow space" in which one exists. Not only can it be chosen and attained by oneself, but it is also shaped by the accumulation of causes from both the present and the past.
How shall all living beings be sheltered and protected?
Blessing All Living Beings—this is achieved through the accumulation of causes from the past, transforming the human world into a "current of energy space" for growth, and realized through present actions and deeds! Just as in this moment, within the Chongxin lineage, this current (magnetic) energy space, where immortals and Buddhas participate in the timing of creation, is filled with unparalleled warmth and harmony.
However, once the work is completed, the flow of energy in the space simply returns to the ordinary flow of energy in the human world. Thus, it can be said: the flow of energy in the space of immortals and buddhas—that is, the magnetic field—can be transformed or created through human actions! How can they protect all living beings? It is precisely through the flow of energy in the space of immortals and buddhas—the manifestation of the magnetic field!
Regarding the understanding and concepts of sentient beings, it is often difficult to achieve thorough comprehension. As humans often say: in terms of geomancy and feng shui, if one speaks of all that is good or bad, it relates to the space of airflow, which is essentially connected to the "magnetic field." If it is said that the "energy field" can be transformed by humans, it would be like opening a space of cool, refreshing air in ordinary times to bring about a shift.
If within the energy field, one can immediately transform such a field—meaning that technological civilization is capable of altering the energy field, which is also a re-emergence of the energy field space—I wonder if this process can be grasped, and how it might be realized? The "magnetic field" differs significantly from the "energy field" as an energetic entity. The words hold profound implications; contemplate them yourself.
May it protect and bless all living beings,  
and may the currents of space bring about their fulfillment.
Humans alter their original state,  
Changes in magnetic fields all bear witness.
The causes sown in past lives  
All manifest and draw forth in this life.
If one can alternate and transform to bring about change,  
It will accomplish the welfare of all sentient beings.
This verse! Let it be mutually contemplated with all sentient beings; whether one is wise or foolish, each shall understand through personal realization—what is the entire process? If all human beings come to understand everything identically, that would indeed be commendable!
Even the immortals and Buddhas need not toil tirelessly between the celestial realm and the mortal world, imparting great virtues and offering validation. Is this not so? The spiritual lineage of Chongxin is flourishing with remarkable vigor, and the energy within its space grows ever more serene. Having disturbed you for a while, it is now time to bid farewell!
Chapter Thirty-Three: The Mission on the Journey
##Zhongyuan Diguan, the Great Emperor of Pardoning Sins
December 12, 2003, the 19th day of the 11th lunar month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
The Immortals and Buddhas of the Void and Infinity descend,  
Old friends come down to grace Chongxin.
We shared countless words since our parting,  
And drank together, cups brimming with joy.
All Saints and Buddhas, as well as the virtuous students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Divine Farmer Emperor has personally descended. In the Chongxin lineage’s work "The Great Dao Without Limits: Chapter Twelve," the section "Protecting All Beings" serves as a testament to "The Great Dao Without Limits," while also elevating oneself through the flow of energy in both past and present spaces.
By taking this eternally unfathomable essence of karma as a foundation for transformation and verification, one can thereby enter into the process of reshaping the root of one's own destiny. If one fails to thoroughly comprehend and cultivate all latent causes from past lives, one will inevitably remain trapped in the whirlpool of samsara, fundamentally unable to ascend and transcend.
I truly wonder if our Chongxin students are willing to remain forever in such a predicament? One ought to have the courage to achieve in this very lifetime the great cause ordained by heaven! If there are those willing, please speak out loudly! Answer OK! From now on, we must unite as one to propagate our mission, without further entanglement in disputes and endless gossip.
Furthermore, if the Chongxin Sect were to resemble a marketplace rather than the supreme institution of the Heavenly Realm, then the expectations of the Heavenly Realm could not be fulfilled. This condition of karma requires that the actions and conduct of the Chongxin Sect must absolutely not involve worldly disputes over right and wrong, superiority and inferiority, pros and cons, correctness and error, or righteousness and evil!
It is precisely by utilizing this present life to cultivate and elevate all that is good that one can "attain the Pure Land of the Buddha in this very body," thereby returning to transcendence. In this way, all past mistakes in matters are now behind us, having arisen from insufficient experience. One must not repeat them, for only then can this life serve as a true testament to realization and insight.
Chapter 34: The Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Principle
## Vast Emptiness Wisdom Dharma Celestial Worthy
The Yellow Emperor, our revered ancestor, celebrated the completion of seven years,  
While the Great Dao, boundless and infinite, deeply blessed heaven and earth.
How can heaven and earth bring about benefit?
In the course of existence within the human realm, sentient beings undergo the process of transforming and elevating all aspects of their past lives. It is essential to understand that through the cycles of reincarnation across generations, and by receiving the profound blessings bestowed by great virtues, immense benefits and grace are obtained. Moreover, it is through the transmission of teachings that the conditions for growth and learning are provided.
It is precisely in the achievement of efficacy that one must understand whether it can benefit the sentient world. This is determined by the local customs and conditions, with the primary causes and conditions set by the administrators serving as the basis. Why, throughout the more than five thousand years from ancient times to the present, have all the "cycles of change" failed to elevate the recreation of samsara and achieve greater integration, with the majority instead sinking into decline?
It is essential to understand that the cycle of rebirth serves as a means of elevation. It allows all beings to ascend through the succession of generations, turning sentient beings in the human world into opportunities for achievement and affinity. Precisely under such conditions, regardless of gender or duality, all can receive protection and grace. Thus, the benevolence of Heaven is truly vast and profound.
Heaven and Earth distinguish all sentient beings.
Qian and Kun—under the influence of such conditions, they inevitably stir sentient beings, activating the functions of their own past karmic cycles. This precisely serves to dissolve the cause-and-effect retributions of the past, enabling their repayment and purification. It is essential to allow oneself to undergo a process of elevation, which, in relation to the sentient world of yin and yang, Qian and Kun, allows all to grow under the nurturing grace of virtue.
Through the cycle of rebirth and renewal, sentient beings are given life. How should one act and conduct oneself so as not to stray from the path of human existence? And how can one fully resolve the karmic debts accumulated from past causes and conditions? It is essential to genuinely and thoroughly clear them in this human world, thereby avoiding repeated cycles of rebirth within the realm of humanity.
It is precisely the predicament that past dynasties could not overcome, rooted in the constraints of time. If one cannot transcend the cyclical limitations of human reincarnation through religious faith and practice, then over the past five thousand years, the cycle of human reincarnation has, on the contrary, intensified, further hindering the return and transcendence of the "body, mind, and spirit."
Heaven and Earth, with deliberate intent, distinguish between yin and yang.
Qian and Kun: Without distinction between races or all things, everything is composed of yin and yang, which are then passed down to future generations. The transmission of teachings through the composition of yin and yang never ceases. Why then does Heaven possess the fundamental cause for elevating this transmission? I ask all sentient beings: Is human existence merely for the needs of eating, drinking, excreting, sleeping, and passing on descendants? Surely not!
In every generation, the cycle of reincarnation operates inevitably. Each primordial soul descends from the heavens to the human realm for renewal and elevation. Whether one can manifest improvement in essence is uncertain! It is essential to thoroughly transcend past obstacles in human existence—whether constrained by survival tendencies or merely by inherited teachings.
Seldom does one break through the constraints of inherited teachings, as both are hindered by survival-oriented tendencies. It is difficult to overcome these two limitations, and survival itself becomes an obstacle. Under such conditions, one is often confined to the basic actions of existence, fundamentally unable to discern whether the future holds the potential for elevation or merely the repetition of karmic seeds.
How Sentient Beings Can Benefit
Benefit - is the elevation achieved by breaking through the cycle of reincarnation within the confines of "survival limitations" and "inheritance limitations"! It is precisely the fundamental cause and opportune moment for greater growth in the present era; otherwise, one would remain deeply entrenched in these conditions, making it fundamentally impossible to enter and transcend the cycle of reincarnation in the future.
In the human world, the necessity of "currency" for survival, combined with the need for the continuation of human lineage, inevitably leads to the complete suppression of the body, mind, and spirit. This creates obstacles within one's inner nature, spirituality, and physical being, preventing greater opportunities for growth. Such is the hindrance of the sentient world!
However, in the current era, the heavens are implementing new laws, intending to bring about greater transformation in the human world. Precisely because many karmic connections are descending upon the human realm, there exist numerous sentient beings capable of receiving these karmic vessels. Thus, they can achieve greater elevation and transcendence within the world of humanity.
Can one fully accomplish the responsibilities and missions entrusted by Heaven? This can be observed through the examination of each individual's "mindset, actions, responses, and wisdom." From these four aspects, it becomes clear at a glance whether one is truly a pillar of talent or merely filling a position without substance. Moreover, how is such transcendence facilitated by these very conditions of cause and circumstance?
Yin and Yang are distinct; Heaven and Earth differ.
The great virtue and grace of Heaven are bestowed with the intention that all sentient beings of the universe may benefit. This can be observed through the actions of humanity, which reveal a profound truth: in the realm of sentient beings, whether in the human world or the animal kingdom, regardless of race or nation, all are treated with equal fairness, impartial justice, and selfless care.
For sentient beings to benefit from divine protection and shelter, it is essential to understand: the great virtue of Heaven and Earth, which governs and shelters all, does not discriminate among nations; it fairly cares for all living beings. This applies equally to animals and humans alike. Moreover, since the benefits are bestowed without distinction between all creatures or races, they are all granted by the grace of the divine to the multitude of living beings.
One must thoroughly comprehend the fundamental essence and genuinely strive for elevation and transcendence. It is absolutely impermissible to negate the existence of various human worlds by focusing solely on protecting and favoring "the yellow race or the white race." Instead, it is essential to uphold fairness and justice for the entire world, ensuring that all living beings in the human realm may receive protective blessings and virtuous grace, thereby returning to and transcending the causes and conditions of their origins.
It is essential to understand that the "Buddha-nature" of every sentient being is equally unobstructed, and their inherent nature is also entirely identical. When this virtue and grace descend into the human world, consider this: if, in this present era, we are unable to comprehend our own future path, how can we possibly achieve genuine transcendence and elevation in the times to come?
How to Benefit from the Universe
How to Act and Conduct Oneself in the World: How should one proceed? And how should one act? Precisely because all are confined by religion, they fundamentally fail to grasp the essential spirit of religion itself. Instead, after entering religion, they become further limited by their own inherent dispositions, causing the path of practice to repeatedly obstruct them. Consequently, they remain unable to discern clearly: How should one engage in future cultivation!
On the path of spiritual practice, it is possible to observe clearly, within a certain period after a person enters a religion, all their actions and conduct. This is precisely because the process of self-reflection, self-transformation, and self-discipline represents a transcendence across generations. What the human world lacks is precisely this kind of spiritual endeavor.
Therefore, the root cause is consistently indulging, forgiving, and excusing oneself. This is a rather cruel mechanism, and it cannot transcend karma within any religion. Instead, it confines oneself within the religion, becoming limited by it and unable to break free from its constraints.
It is essential to understand: what is the fundamental role of religious spirit? It is to free oneself from the cycle of repeated entanglements within this worldly existence—this is the sorrow of sentient beings! Upon careful reflection, one will surely grasp this truth. Under such circumstances, how should one act? How should one elevate oneself? And how should one return to the true path? Only then can one proceed correctly!
With tender care for all sentient beings and the multitudes,  
Protecting the original spirits is the will of Heaven.
The grace of virtue nurtures all sentient beings,  
Heaven and earth alike may receive its benefits.
The principle of ascension through reincarnation lies in refraining from creating causes for evil.
Realizing that difficulties are of one's own making,  
transformation and transcendence can surely be anticipated.
This verse! I share it with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; moreover, on this auspicious occasion of the seventh anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect, I have descended to compose this work. I truly feel gratified that such conditions exist to propagate and promote the teachings. It is evident that the Heavens have selected the Great Dao sects for their genuine nature. It is only fitting to linger a while longer before returning to the celestial realm. I appreciate everyone's hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 35: The Cause of Conversion
跋、凡例
December 16, 2003, the twenty-third day of the eleventh month in the Guiwei year (Tuesday)
序言、讚賀、頌日
## Lower Primordial Water Official, Great Emperor Who Dispels Calamities
The Void and Infinity pierce the Vast Heaven;  
The Golden Pen’s virtue nourishes the Heart’s affinity.
Seven-Year Hall Celebration Dharma Assembly  
Celebrating Achievements Gradually Becoming Evident
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, we joyously celebrate the seventh anniversary of our hall’s founding. Moreover, we are honored by the personal descent of the Yellow Emperor, the revered progenitor of the Chinese people, to compose the thirteenth chapter of *The Great Dao Without Extremes*, titled "Heaven and Earth Receive Benefit." This work enables us to undergo rebirth and renewal, gaining greater wisdom and profound understanding.
If one can deeply comprehend the essence of today's writings, they are undoubtedly a "wise person" and will possess the foundation for accomplishment. If they cannot fully grasp the intended meaning of these works, they are merely a hammer—something that still requires strengthening. Without understanding the fundamental purpose, how can one know why they have come into this world? Is it merely for eating, drinking, sleeping, and passing on to the next generation?
In the future human world, there will no longer be a need for the transmission of "yin-yang combinations" among all. At that time, whether you will feel a sense of sorrow and resonance remains unknown. Should there be a fresh mode of thinking and action? To enable oneself to achieve genuine elevation, return, transcendence, and surpassing—can this be understood? Great effort is undoubtedly required!

##Void-Way Transmitting Virtue Celestial Worthy
The Heavenly Official descends in auspicious splendor, bestowing blessings upon all living beings.
The Fourteenth Return of the Boundless Dao:  
Harmony of Yin and Yang Brings Greater Advantage
The actions that can benefit both Yin and Yang.
Protecting and blessing all beings in the universe to observe, for the myriad living beings across the vast heavens and earth, it can serve as a refuge. It is precisely about aligning one's own survival orientation in daily life, integrating it into the standard functions that the survival system ought to have. It is about recognizing the desires one must pursue, for it is through having desires that one can find attachment in the course of survival.
In the moment of orienting oneself towards survival, one also imposes a standard on one's actions, or merely seeks to fulfill the conditions for growth driven by the desires of karma. This constant presence in daily existence is precisely the precursor of ignorance, and it cannot dissolve the predetermined effects of the future, allowing for a thorough and genuine realization.
It is precisely because sentient beings cannot grasp the unknown future, nor fully comprehend the consequences of their actions, that they often lose confidence in what lies ahead. This uncertainty frequently leads to diminished resolve, and in turn, a lack of conviction—yet what can be done?
Yin and Yang mutually achieve perfection.
Yin and Yang—without distinguishing between Qian and Kun, male and female—are present in all animals capable of reproduction. It is through the interaction of the two aspects, "Qian and Kun, Yin and Yang," that descendants can be passed on. From the perspective of the Heavens: why is it necessary for the two aspects of Qian and Kun to continue the mission of inheritance? Moreover, for one's own descendants, this allows for a dependent action of nurturing and continuation!
This principle applies universally to all species without distinction. It is precisely through the interplay of yin and yang, the dual forces of heaven and earth, that endless continuation and transmission are made possible. Regarding the roles played by these cosmic forces, it is only after the union of "yin and yang" that inheritance to future generations is achieved—and this holds true for every single species.
Otherwise, how could it serve as a foundation for passing down to future generations? If it cannot be inherited by descendants, what then? Could it truly foster the flourishing of human society? Certainly not! This is an essential condition in the human world—one generation passing it on to the next, thus perpetuating an endless cycle of transmission.
Yin and Yang divide the human world and the underworld.
Yin and Yang—again, they act upon both the "human world" and the "netherworld," enabling mutual interaction and benefit. How then can one achieve realization in these dual realms of Yin and Yang? One may cultivate growth in the mortal world while also elevating the netherworld, allowing both spaces within the great cosmos to mutually benefit and prosper.
Thus can they mutually bring each other to fulfillment; precisely through the descendants in the world of the living and the ancestors in the realm of the departed, it is necessary that both parties may mutually share in the benefits. This is what the Heavens most earnestly desire, for in addressing the "two realms of yin and yang," it is to offer all favorable conditions for the transmission to future generations.
In honoring the toils of our ancestors and diligently nurturing all seeds of growth, we propel the human world toward a broader realm of development. Thus, by integrating the "yin underworld" and the "yang human world," we advance within the vast cosmos. Moreover, for all beings across the universe, we make no distinction between these two realms, embracing all sentient primordial spirits.
All sentient beings share the same genetic code.
All are born into this world from the same primordial spiritual seed. If the harmony of yin and yang cannot be achieved to bring mutual benefit to both, it will inevitably cause significant disturbances to the human world. Perhaps even ordinary beings are unable to perceive that within such actions, there exists no such mindset or concept.
Moreover, being unable to comprehend the underlying causes and effects, why is it that despite all one's diligent efforts, one cannot obtain the corresponding rewards and compensations? How can such conditions be achieved? It is necessary to have "the harmonization of the two worlds of yin and yang" in order to benefit both sides. This is a concept that should be understood in the human world.
Duality of Benefits—It involves the mutual elevation and transcendence of sentient beings in both the yin and yang realms. Since the "netherworld and the mortal world" are distinct entities and spaces, each representing an inverted version of the other's realm of existence, the question arises: How can these two be harmoniously integrated within this four-dimensional space?
Human beings are not merely about striving.
It is precisely to avoid the interference from the spectral frequencies of ancestors in the underworld! Such frequency interference exerts a tremendous destructive force and inflicts severe harm upon the descendants in the mortal world. It is essential to understand clearly: why is it that some people toil diligently their entire lives, yet in the end, achieve nothing at all? What is the reason for this?
Instead, they are burdened with heavy debts and sins! Such circumstances are all too common in today's era! It is precisely because people fail to understand whether "both yin and yang" can be mutually beneficial. Guided by the pursuit of their respective interests, how can such conditions be integrated into one's own existence? It requires achieving mutual benefit between both worlds of yin and yang!
Only then can there be an opportunity for mutual fulfillment; this is not empty talk or lofty rhetoric. Regarding the inheritance of lineage, it is precisely the continuity of bloodlines—all belonging to the same human DNA genes. They are not only identical but also share the same ancestry, the same race, and the same descent. Thus, if the ancestors are not at peace, how can the descendants find comfort? Indeed!
Filial piety transmits the virtues of bloodline and moral integrity.
Mutual Benefit—It is essential to be able to move the deceased ancestors, freeing them from the entanglements of karmic debts, while also performing actions that elevate and liberate them! In the transmission of filial piety, this precisely represents a genuine continuation of a fine traditional moral standard for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains. In the heavenly realm, it serves as a significant basis for elevating merits and receiving rewards, as part of the process of adhering to the transmission of filial piety.
It is essential that within the human world, genuine actions are taken. If such actions allow the Heavenly Realm to perceive and appreciate the sincerity of filial piety, it will bestow abundant blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and virtue. Moreover, virtuous descendants will be born into the family to carry on the lineage. Such benefits are beyond the comprehension and empathy of sentient beings in the present era.
The Transmission of Filial Piety—Up to the present, the human world has gradually forgotten it. Moreover, it can no longer rely on the "virtuous legacy of the branching lineage of filial piety" from the past. It can be said that each generation falls short of the previous, each era declines further. In today's age, filial piety is increasingly undervalued, truly making the Heavens unable to bear witness, yet also unwilling to harshly condemn.
Only through the "inheritance of teachings" can the "transmission of filial piety" be imparted endlessly. It is precisely this that allows all beings between heaven and earth—whether ancestors and loved ones in the underworld or all virtuous descendants in the human world—to appreciate that, under the transmission between yin and yang, there must be a principle of "mutual benefit for both yin and yang."
How to Achieve Marital Harmony and Happiness
The principle of "benefiting both yin and yang, with heaven and earth both able to gain advantages" is precisely the regulatory framework most anticipated by the heavens. It must be achieved through the conditions of the human world to transcend, not only allowing oneself greater space and opportunities for growth but also enabling the fundamental culture of the Chinese descendants—the tradition of "filial piety"—to be passed down to future generations.
It is to enable couples, such as Qian and Kun, to bestow the virtues of harmonizing yin and yang for the benefit of all, and to transform and guide the world. In today's era, where couples often speak lightly of separation and part ways like the swallow and the starling, this is not a method that goodness should employ. Perhaps, in the practice of "communication," the current estrangement and gaps between husbands and wives can be reconciled.
In such a union, both parties benefit mutually, fostering endless virtuous descendants. Even with excellent offspring to carry on the lineage, one should never lightly speak of abandonment or divorce. As for how a marriage between two individuals can achieve happiness, it is precisely through self-creation, self-fulfillment, and self-realization that a "harmonious, happy, and complete family" can be attained. May this be aspired to! May this be aspired to!
May all sentient beings be blessed,  
Both realms of yin and yang may they attain enlightenment.
Man and woman, husband and wife, dwell together in harmony;  
Heaven and earth draw close, each completing the other.
Ancestors observe from the world of shadows,  
Descendants revolve in the realm of the living.
Both benefits can be fully realized,  
Achieving transcendence and guiding the return.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it becomes clear that when the Great Emperor of the Heavenly Official of the Upper Prime wishes to bestow blessings upon everyone, it is actually created by oneself. After one has achieved it through their own efforts, the heavens then intervene to adjust and grant even greater blessings of "fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and virtue." Isn't that even more wonderful! What do you all think? The immortal and buddha teachers also express their hope: may all lovers under heaven become couples! And may all couples under heaven remain deeply in love!
Thus, one can form a "happy and harmonious family" to thrive. Is it not the hope of everyone that every family remains this way forever! Reflecting deeply on its meaning, one can thoroughly comprehend the benefits of both yin and yang, thereby spreading this virtuous grace to the human world. Thank you all for your hard work and patience; after a brief disturbance, we shall return to the heavenly realm!

##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
The boundless void, the true and solid ground;  
The Silver Brush Celestial Venerable, whose virtue shelters all people.
The Great Way expands, proclaiming the celestial sound; together we gather with sages, embracing the truth of affection and righteousness.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Heavenly Official of the Upper Prime, the Great Emperor Bestowing Blessings, has personally descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Great Dao Without Limits." This chapter addresses the great virtue and grace of "benefiting both heaven and earth, and profiting both yin and yang," offering an explanation for the blind spots of sentient beings in the current era and awakening everyone from their delusions.
In the hope of knowing that amidst the harmony of yin and yang, it is precisely through the union of heaven and earth, like husband and wife, that we can jointly create the future, enabling the family to function and pass on an endless legacy of outstanding descendants. Thus, after another century, will we all still be alive? Not necessarily! Yet, such conditions are not only akin to heaven and earth but also strive with the heavens themselves to surpass for countless generations!
When that time comes, you will look back upon the present moment, only to find that the descendants of Qiankun and his wife—your own ancestors and kin—have long since forgotten you entirely, having lost all notion of the existence of such another realm. Yet you, having already transcended and returned, are able to show compassion for this reality and thus undertake this ascent. I earnestly hope for it! I deeply yearn for it!
The seventh anniversary temple celebration service has come to a close amidst everyone's diligent efforts, truly moving the heavenly deities and the immortal Buddhas of our lineage. To have such a devoted lineage is commendable indeed! It is this very sincerity that has moved the Heaven, moved the deities of the heavens, and moved all the immortal Buddhas of our lineage.

##Celestial Worthy of the Soaring Dragon in the Void
The Mid-Year Earth Official bestows blessings upon the people, granting pardon to all living beings for their sins.
The Great Emperor descends, bearing the celestial scriptures;  
Heaven bestows a favorable opportunity, all as one wishes.
Heaven bestows a sacred mission.
Both heaven and earth can receive benefits, thereby achieving the virtuous grace that benefits both yin and yang. This is precisely bestowed by the heavens as a divine opportunity and good affinity to descend and transform. For sentient beings, whether they can receive the virtuous shelter and protection of the heavens will determine greater opportunities for growth. However, sentient beings, merely existing in the present moment, often commit numerous sins and accumulate karmic obstacles.
To enable successive lifetimes to have greater room for growth, one must not only create the fundamental conditions for one's own upward advancement but also achieve the opportunity for the reincarnation and growth of all sentient beings in the vast universe. Such conditions of karma require the blessings of Heaven to "bestow blessings, pardon sins, avert disasters, and relieve misfortunes."
Thus, all sentient beings across the vast universe may have opportunities for growth. Such favorable conditions are rather scarce in the human world. However, as times have changed, the Heavenly Realm now seeks to eliminate and diminish the circumstances of wrongdoing and sin. In the present era, more virtuous methods have been established, enabling all sentient beings to transcend and ascend.
A heaven-sent opportunity to fulfill one's mission and purpose.
Tianci—it is precisely bestowed and decreed by Heaven, serving as the fundamental cause and condition for growth. To clearly embody and realize this opportunity is also granted by Heaven. Since Heaven neither speaks nor utters, it can only carry out sacred duties through the celestial immortals and Buddhas. Indeed, there exist administrative units in the celestial realm that preside over these sacred duties.
This kind of opportunity, which can be granted by Heaven to all sentient beings in the great cosmos as a foundation and catalyst for their future growth and destiny, is decreed by Heaven as a destined chance. How, then, should one petition Heaven to undertake this sacred task? It is essential that the presiding deities of temples, shrines, and monasteries guide all practitioners in the human world.
As well as the centripetal force towards believers, students, and disciples... can this condition be realized in the human world. It is precisely because the project of setting a benchmark towards Heaven has been established that it must undergo numerous trials of the Way, only then can it be seen whether a Daoist temple or lineage is capable of shouldering this great responsibility!
How should humanity present their projects to the heavens?
One must first observe and assess one's own capacity—how much strength and ability one possesses? Is it sufficient to shoulder heavy responsibilities and make decisions regarding numerous "targeted projects"? This is a heaven-sent opportunity, a karmic cause, which depends on whether the main deity and the leadership of a temple or shrine are capable of bearing such weighty duties, serving as the foundation and turning point for future growth.
If one is capable of shouldering great responsibilities, the heavens will observe whether they are truly fit to carry out such weighty duties. A direct decree will then be issued to the principal deity and the presiding figure of the temple or shrine. Thus, it will be tested whether the temple's principal deity or its presiding figure possesses the fortitude to shoulder and execute the significant responsibilities that lie ahead.
The process of execution inevitably gives rise to numerous trials and setbacks, through which it becomes evident whether a religious sect is capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility and carrying it out. This can be clearly observed. If the capability is insufficient, it becomes necessary to reconsider. At times, even when the compassionate grace of Heaven descends, achieving perfection may not always be attainable.
The heavens bestow great virtue and grace.
The gift of Heaven—is to bestow and disseminate the conditions of the Celestial Realm. There is another scenario, akin to the principal deity of a palace or temple, whose primordial origin is bestowed by the Celestial Realm upon those destined for salvation, serving as an object of reliance and accomplishment. This further enhances what was already transcendent, allowing one to return again with a vow.
Thus, numerous divine decrees from the heavens descend upon the sacred grounds to be carried out and propagated. In such circumstances, it is essential to observe whether the human leaders are willing to cooperate and enforce them with strength. Or do the celestial beings merely speak their truths? When the divine decrees from the heavens are received, yet the leaders and disciples in the human realm are unwilling to cooperate in their execution, what then can be done?
In such a situation, there is simply no other way! Even if the immortals and buddhas possess great capabilities, these abilities remain theirs alone and cannot be exerted upon the decision-makers of the human world. They are fundamentally unable to carry out the missions and responsibilities bestowed by the heavens. This is precisely the helplessness faced by the heavens, the immortals, and the buddhas.
A heaven-sent opportunity must be cherished.
All sacred missions bestowed by Heaven must be accomplished through human endeavor. Only when the facilitation of immortals and buddhas aligns with human effort can the conditions for propagation be realized. This process conveys and executes the divine will of Heaven, achieving fulfillment within the human realm, which also serves as the foundation for future accomplishments.
Predestined Fate and Heavenly Opportunity — This refers to whether the principal deities of temples and halls possess the will and vow to undertake such a mission, willingly accepting these conditions and responsibilities. It also depends on whether the leaders or disciples in the human realm can grow and align with these conditions. It is only through the opportunities bestowed by Heaven that achievements in the mortal world find their foundation.
In the human realm, there are immortals, buddhas, and leaders who are wholeheartedly willing to undertake the mission of propagating the teachings to expand their influence. It is precisely because of this willingness among these deities and leaders that the teachings can be spread throughout the human world. Moreover, it is through their voluntary acceptance of heavy responsibilities and duties that they are granted greater opportunities for growth and the fundamental conditions for development.
The works of Heaven are difficult to measure.
It is precisely through the divine gift of a favorable affinity, acting as a catalyst for transformation and action, that such conditions can be achieved within the human realm. By mobilizing all benevolent connections among sentient beings in the mortal world, they serve as the foundational impetus for growth. It is through the human realm that these conditions are established, enabling the fulfillment of weighty responsibilities and great missions. How, then, can such a monumental undertaking be perfected?
A Golden Opportunity—Do Not Miss This Karmic Encounter. It is precisely because of the support from numerous religious sects and lineages across heaven and earth that such conditions have been granted. Thus, for the main deity of a temple or shrine, there are times when it is necessary to return to the celestial realm to attend meetings. Moreover, the proceedings of such meetings are occasions when the responsibilities and missions for each era are decreed by the Heavens.
Is it possible to seek divine decrees for sacred duties in any temple or shrine through the mandates of Heaven? Not necessarily! This is not only a challenge to the presiding deities of the temples and shrines or to the leaders in the human realm, but also a task through which one can discern whether they are truly capable of carrying out and promoting future sacred duties.
Heaven-sent opportunity — immortals, buddhas, and humankind must cherish it.
Such conditions serve as a cause and affinity for the integration and dissemination of religious sects and lineages between heaven and earth. They must be capable of aligning with the "targeted project" of the Heavenly Realm in their implementation, meaning they must be sufficiently qualified to undertake and surpass the conditions required for future execution. This forms the basis for any duties and missions in the human world, which must ultimately be fulfilled by humanity itself.
A heaven-sent opportunity—can such favorable conditions be extended to the human world as educational and cultural curricula for sentient beings? Such circumstances often place a psychological pressure on the dedicated immortals and buddhas who bear the responsibility and duty of the heavens, necessitating a mutual collaboration between humans and deities to be forcefully implemented!
This sacred duty must be carried out through shared responsibility, not by immortals and buddhas alone. Under such conditions, even if the immortals and buddhas possess the capability (endurance), yet the human leaders lack the willingness, the effectiveness will be greatly diminished. It is precisely for this reason that the principal deities of temples and shrines must coordinate clearly with human leaders in their efforts.
How can there be a divine decree from heaven descending to earth?
When believers and students are unwilling to cooperate, the immortals and buddhas will feel a profound sense of helplessness. It can be clearly understood: this is an opportunity bestowed by Heaven for transformation and guidance. Yet, when the human world fails to align with this, not only does it become impossible to fulfill the entrusted missions and tasks, but breaking through such difficulties also becomes exceedingly challenging.
In the vast expanse of the universe, why are there so many immortals and buddhas unable to fulfill their missions? It is precisely so! Because matters must be handled in the manner of the human world, and one cannot transcend the way of "being human as humans" that is proper to the human realm. Only then can one avoid bypassing the crucial test of existence in the human world.
It is essential to understand: in relation to the heavens, earth, deities, and Buddhas, as well as the students, can we unite as one to expand this great path? This requires taking each step firmly, leaving a clear footprint with every move, so that we may ultimately achieve it. In completing all future sacred tasks and "targeted projects," it is precisely within the human world that their efficacy can be realized.
All deities of the sentient world,  
Are willing to join in the work of teaching and transformation.
Heaven has bestowed a blessed union to foster growth,  
With great promise for future flourishing and expansion.
Only when both superiors and subordinates are united in heart can the sacred mission be accomplished.
All works aimed at the heavenly goal  
Can bring renewal to the mortal world.
This verse! Let all fellow beings in the human realm, the leaders of the Path, and the students of the lineage examine it closely together. The sense of powerlessness that sometimes arises when facing the celestial deities and immortals in charge is precisely caused by the reasons described herein. It is hoped that all, from top to bottom, can unite as one, jointly embody the virtuous grace bestowed by Heaven above—this rare opportunity given as a covenant—so that it may descend upon us. This is the very opportunity that can lead to greater growth in the propagation of the Great Dao.
Can it be achieved? It will inevitably become clear through the execution of each mission: what difficulties and setbacks are encountered, and how can these obstacles be overcome to achieve success? I look forward to it! I look forward to it! Thank you all for your hard work. I have troubled you for some time, and now I shall return to the heavenly court. Very well, thank you all!
The celestial blueprint sets the aims for humanity,  
While sacred duties are carried out by diverse faiths.
The procedures have now been altered;  
How to accomplish them requires unity from top to bottom.
##Nanping Daoci Ancient Buddha
A rare opportunity to convey sacred teachings, the reason for their secrecy through the ages.
The Great Emperor of Earthly Officials composes and narrates the introduction,  
With reason and dharma ascending the platform to preside.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of Earthly Officials for Granting Pardon has descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of *The Great Dao Without Limits: A Heaven-Sent Opportunity*, elucidating the mysteries among the celestial realm and deities. This clarifies how celestial immortals and Buddhas sometimes carry out "targeted projects"!
Or perhaps, when the Supreme Heavens directly issue a decree, there must be numerous conditions that can be put into effect, which can verify that the decree bestowed by the Supreme Heavens is being carried out among the immortals, Buddhas, leaders, and disciples in the mortal realm. Can they unite as one, working together to accomplish this mission? The Chongxin lineage is precisely the condition personally decreed and bestowed upon the mortal world by the Mother of the Wuji Celestial Realm.
In the future, will we be capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of education and moral cultivation, thereby passing on Confucian teachings? Rather than merely going through the motions without fulfilling our mission! To unite as one in achieving the great cause, and recently, with two Dharma assemblies held in close succession, the psychological pressure on everyone has been relatively significant.
Yet what has passed is in the past; it is essential to reexamine one's own growth and to devote oneself wholeheartedly to seizing opportunities for learning and achievement. Such chances are fleeting—do not assume that divine decrees are easily granted. Moreover, the karmic conditions within our lineage are exceptionally rare. If doubtful, observe whether other lineages possess such opportunities. They are exceedingly few! Reflect deeply: do you cherish this? All choices stem from "one's own values making the decision"!
## Celestial Sovereign of Soaring Through the Void
The Lower Primordial Water Official bestows grace upon all beings, dispelling calamities and ushering in blessings for the life to come.
The Great Emperor descends and manifests, giving birth to the Boundless;  
All rejoice together in this present life.
The universe receives benefits, and all can rejoice greatly.
The universe receives benefits, and the dual forces of yin and yang act as a guiding principle, allowing all living beings across the vast heavens and earth to partake in the bestowed opportunities and virtuous grace from above. This is truly overseen by a divine authority that governs administrative affairs, guided by the actions and conduct of sentient beings in the human world. It is through this divine oversight that observation, reliance, supervision, and evaluation are established.
It is also through observing one's actions that one can understand how much "merit or sin" accumulates in each lifetime. Therefore, it is essential to guide the conduct of each individual's mind and nature as a foundation, applying addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to shape one's path toward the next life or the immediate future, thereby obtaining the basis for blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth.
With the birth of virtuous and excellent descendants, such conditions must be understood through the actions and conduct in the present life or across lifetimes, providing a basis for judgment. This serves as the foundation for human existence and growth, offering integration into daily sustenance, thereby fostering a benevolent orientation toward life.
All are further subdivided into numerous species.
All-encompassing Greatness—this means that among sentient beings, regardless of any nation or race, it is universally so. Precisely because it is a vast and expansive function, it serves as the foundation for the majority of sentient beings. Therefore, whether one can enter the conditions one prefers through "all-encompassing greatness" depends on whether one can grow and elevate oneself within the human world!
One must undergo an evaluation of all actions performed in this lifetime, as well as all deeds from past lives. This serves as the basis for granting oneself "blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and virtuous descendants" in the present or future lives. Thus, under such conditions, these outcomes will manifest truthfully for one's descendants, in the present, or in times to come.
It is precisely because of the "accumulated virtue and blessings" left by benevolent ancestors that many descendants are able to inherit and carry forward this legacy of goodwill and moral grace. This process of sustained growth, through which one elevates oneself and cultivates the foundation of favorable conditions, must be achieved in the human world, relying on goodness and virtuous merit.
What serves as the foundational basis
The boundless grace of Heaven! It does not arbitrarily bestow upon sentient beings descendants of great fortune and virtue, nor does it arbitrarily produce offspring of great wickedness. Such outcomes arise from the deeds of each individual. In other words, the birth of descendants blessed with great fortune and virtue must be rooted in the accumulation of virtuous merits and auspicious affinities.
If one engages in wickedness and great evil, then descendants of great treachery and malevolence will be born, inheriting all past transgressions to corrupt and pass down through your lineage. This is determined precisely by the deeds of "virtuous ancestors or wicked ancestors." Based on all conditions, the necessary descendants are thus bestowed.
All great ones—whether they be of great virtue and blessings or of great treachery and wickedness—descend into their own families to carry on their legacy. It must be understood: only when there is an ancestor of great treachery and wickedness, or of great virtue and blessings, can they mutually resonate with their descendants through their magnetic fields. This resonance, guided by the attraction of these fields, is entirely accurate!
What benefits do large species provide to humanity?
Moreover, acting in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth embodies impartiality and selflessness. Because similar energy fields and magnetic fields attract each other, one can draw descendants who share the same spiritual resonance to be born into their lineage for continuation. This aligns with the equitable principles of heaven and earth, enabling upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
It aligns with the thoughts and actions of sentient beings in the present moment, flowing through a shared energetic space. For all sentient beings across the vast cosmos, it embodies fairness and justice, even selflessness and non-action. Within the "universal greatness," it provides a guiding direction, traversing the world of sentient beings and offering a profoundly accurate validation.
Given such conditions, one can transmit all virtues and blessings to future generations as a legacy. It is essential to realize that when the Heavenly Will bestows descendants, it also grants abundant blessings, prosperity, and nobility, ensuring the family's flourishing and continuity. This is the most profound mystery that sentient beings often fail to comprehend, discerned through the enduring power of "non-action."
Store up grain in fine weather for use in rainy days.
Joy is the inheritance of virtuous blessings by future generations, rooted in the merits and virtues of an ancestor. It is bestowed by Heaven upon one’s household as "prosperity, status, longevity, and wealth," along with abundant wisdom to sustain these blessings. It is through such steadfastness that they endure, extend, and become a source of lasting enjoyment.
Sentient beings in this world often fail to appreciate such blessings. If they enjoy them for too long, they cannot grasp the notion that "one must store grain during sunny days for rainy days," nor can they, in preparing for uncertainties, maintain a vigilant and cautious attitude as if treading on thin ice—a process that serves as a precaution for themselves.
Within fortune, one must preserve even greater hidden virtue.
In the future, when "the body declines and fortune wanes," one should face it with composure, and even take it as a caution. Otherwise, sentient beings, because they enjoy considerable comforts, may become too accustomed to this mindset of delight and indulgence. If such a mindset persists for too long, they risk losing their genuine, childlike sincerity, and it may even vanish without a trace.
For sentient beings, the reason why "wealth and honor do not last beyond three generations" lies precisely in this! Because it is so that "wealth and honor do not last beyond three generations," they fail to cherish the blessings they possess, unable to preserve long-lasting fortune, and all too easily commit sins and create karma.
It is precisely because sentient beings, in accumulating the virtues and merits of their ancestors, pass them down to future generations, that wealth and nobility cannot last beyond three generations. This is the very reason! And because wealth and nobility do not endure beyond three generations, it drives the sentient beings of today's world to be unable to elevate their minds, spirits, and bodies to transcend this limitation.
Joyful hearts can gain much.
A joyful heart can serve as the foundation for achievement. In today’s era, shaped by technological advancement, one only needs to apply a bit of thought and invest in some advertising to reap substantial rewards and returns. It is essential to understand and skillfully apply all available methods, adapting them appropriately to the distinct characteristics of each profession.
Can we allow the heavens to bestow "blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth" as a basis? Otherwise, ordinary beings have no opportunity whatsoever for the heavens to grant them the fortune of blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth. May I ask, from where should the heavens begin to bestow these blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth as a foundation? How should this be carried out? Can it be clearly understood? Not necessarily!
To draw an analogy: if one possesses profound blessings and merits, yet remains alone without a spouse, can Heaven bestow upon such a person virtuous descendants? You need only reflect on this to understand! Without any conditions in place, how could one possibly receive such benevolent gifts? What then can be done?
If one does not possess it, how can one claim to own it?
This is a case where one is unwilling to grant oneself even the slightest opportunity, so how can one expect the heavens to bestow the basis for blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and noble status, as well as virtuous and moral descendants? No! It is precisely through a joyful heart that one can achieve: a future where one can grow and gain! To have a basis for harvest, one must create opportunities for oneself to possess it!
Granting oneself the conditions to receive such rewards from Heaven is precisely about finding joy in the process, where opportunities for achievement can be realized. It is impossible for gold to fall from the sky or for virtuous descendants to appear out of thin air in one’s home—such notions are impractical and lack the necessary conditions and causes. One must proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each turn, to truly attain fulfillment.
It must be clearly understood: Only by taking each step with unwavering sincerity can one reap what they have sown and nurture virtuous descendants who embody their accumulated merits. Whether future generations will honor and carry forward one's deeds depends precisely on this foundation. This principle is profoundly just, fair, and impartial—it is not something that can be attained merely through human words or promises.
The foundation lies in the benefits of Heaven and Earth,  
Boundless favor flows from the harmony of Yin and Yang.
All rejoice in the pursuit of learning,  
Yet it is essential to progress step by step and accumulate steadily.
In the world of humankind's growth,  
There was a virtuous ancestor who set sail.
Magnetic attraction brings forth,  
So that virtuous offspring may be praised.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it is not empty talk, nor mere sloganeering, but a thousandfold truth. The heavens themselves use it as the basis for judgment and action, making it both profoundly fitting and utterly authentic.
##Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
Through the void and the boundless, piercing the mundane realm,  
The Way transmits virtue, and the sage reveals truth.
The Heavenly Venerable gathers all sentient beings,  
Manifesting the cause and effect of virtue and the Way.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Lower Primordial Water Official, the Great Emperor Who Resolves Misfortunes, has descended to provide an analysis of "The Great Dao Without Limits, Chapter Sixteen: Universal Joy." This will broadly elucidate the basis for the "blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth" bestowed by Heaven.
Let it be made clear to us that in our own actions and in the present moment, there is a basis upon which our future deeds may be founded, and further, upon which virtuous descendants may rely in times to come. This does not descend from empty air; rather, it arises from the extent of our own actions, each of which provides a foundation that we ourselves may attain.
Do not think that heaven will arbitrarily bestow gold or virtuous descendants upon your family. That is merely a shallow perception and a wishful, delusional thought. One must clearly recognize that the extent of one’s own actions and achievements will determine the foundation for the virtue of future generations.
Upon careful reflection, one can comprehend all the causal workings within the human world. To cultivate virtue or to commit wickedness—both are achieved by one’s own choices. The events we students have recently witnessed are truly remarkable, yet they pale in comparison to the deeds of us immortals and buddhas. Should we judge by human thought or by the wisdom of immortals and buddhas? This is a question worth pondering.
On this Mid-Autumn Festival, the Moon and Mars align in a rare celestial balance—a sight that may not be seen again for ages to come. Though many may lack the fortune to witness such an astronomical wonder, the natural unfolding of heaven and earth leaves us to wonder: what trials might the future hold? It remains unknown. Yet let us take this moment as a foundation upon which to build and transcend in the days ahead.
A hundred years from now, one will witness many astronomical wonders. Whether one can possess such karmic conditions depends entirely on oneself. Only by continuously advancing, elevating, and transcending can one, under these karmic conditions, have the opportunity to witness more cosmic galaxies and astronomical wonders!
## The Holy Mother of the Void Heaven
Namo, all beings are sentient; the self-nature of the Lamp-Lighter reveals true clarity.
The Ancient Buddha descended to reveal the Wuji Scripture, perfecting the vessel and establishing the Buddha's testament.
Sentient beings can be perfected to become vessels of virtue.
The decree from Heaven serves as the fundamental basis for guiding and transforming all beings. For all religious sects and lineages across the vast universe, it can be incorporated into educational and cultural curricula. It is essential to establish genuine and constructive standards for practice, enabling sentient beings to attain fulfillment. In the transmission of all educational and cultural traditions throughout the universe, this foundation plays a crucial role, providing guidance for all beings to follow.
Furthermore, the curriculum of education and moral cultivation should be genuinely implemented, not merely confined to daily life and the application of resources. It is essential to elevate sentient beings in terms of ethics and morality, ensuring that "mind, spirituality, and body" complement and fulfill one another.
To achieve fulfillment, adjustments must be made through learning and growth, which necessitates foundational educational and cultural curricula. In the pursuit of survival orientation or within the course of life, it is essential to elevate all processes of existence through creative evolution. This aligns precisely with the necessity of survival orientation. How, then, can we come to understand that growth occurs within the human world?
What is the Function of Perfection
It is precisely because of the genuine and necessary "survival orientation" that one must, through learning experiences, achieve the enhancement of all aspects of survival. Moreover, this involves perfecting all of one's own actions while also adjusting to achieve harmony among "people, matters, and things." This goes far beyond the mere "perfection" as commonly understood by ordinary beings.
Rather, it truly serves as the foundation for elevating the human world, advocating that in the process of survival and learning, humanity must progress step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each stage, in order to achieve its goals. It also calls for the harmonious resolution of all matters, striving to reach a state of perfection. In the human world, this is the true nature of reality!
It is essential that through the fundamental role of education and culture, sentient beings can clearly understand, in a very truthful manner: What is called perfection? What is called normalcy? What is called reality? Through a learning experience, one can thoroughly grasp this curriculum within the learning process and thereby genuinely benefit from it.
This necessitates the cultivation of educational and cultural curricula, providing oneself with the inherent conditions and opportunities for upward learning and elevation. Only by thoroughly comprehending this truth can one reach the stage of perfect fulfillment. In all aspects of existence in the human world, one must achieve complete harmony and smoothness in every matter, while also bringing fulfillment to all people, affairs, and things.
Fullness and perfection are mutually complementary.
Full Circle—Again, it is different from perfection, precisely because perfection is a state of seamless and complete harmony within matters, allowing for mutual "rounding." This rounding ensures that no flaws are left to slip through the cracks, which is the essential process that "rounding" must undergo. Yet, this very action is fundamentally beyond the grasp of humanity.
Within the full circle, it surpasses the completeness of a circle that has been perfected, reaching an even higher level. In the full circle, everything can proceed smoothly, luminous and unobstructed. In the human world, if one finds it difficult to achieve perfection, one may enter a state of "full circle" through the essence of "completeness," thereby fulfilling the necessary function of allowing "completeness to progress toward the full circle."
Why is it that sentient beings cannot achieve perfect fulfillment in the human world? It is because all that they do and undertake must be capable of being fully imbued with radiance, not merely perfected. Perfection itself may still fall short, while radiance signifies that everything can be filled to the brim. This state of fullness is precisely the fundamental spirit required for perfect fulfillment!
What Can Be Forged into a Vessel
To Become an Instrument - It is because sentient beings can make adjustments within the human world. The character "human" is insufficient when adding one stroke, and still lacking when adding two. Thus, when one stroke is added to "human," it becomes "great"; when two strokes are added, it becomes "heaven". If it extends beyond, it transforms into "husband". This is what humans lack, and they cannot compare with "greatness" or "heaven".
It then becomes an ordinary "person"; if one adds a horizontal stroke to become "great," and two horizontal strokes to become "heaven," one can transcend the ordinary "person." If a horizontal stroke is added above and a dot below, it becomes "supreme"; adding another dot above turns it into "dog." If strokes are added both above and below, it becomes either "supreme" or "dog," both of which are causes of downfall and degradation.
When humanity seeks to become "great," adding one or two horizontal strokes can fulfill all the requirements for ascension. Yet, adding a stroke below or a dot turns it into "excessive" or "dog." So, I ask everyone: where do you demand these additions be placed? And where do you demand you place your own dot? In the face of reasons that prevent ascension in the human world, placing a dot below is comparatively easier!
If one wishes to pinpoint the essence, it is indeed quite challenging. This principle holds true both in religious contexts and in ordinary secular life. Considering human growth, how should one show compassion for the fundamental nature of a person? Therefore, humans inherently possess fundamental shortcomings. Precisely because of these shortcomings, it is necessary to undergo transformation and growth within the human world in order to become truly accomplished.
The most fundamental foundation for becoming a vessel of value
The purpose is to make all sentient beings across the vast universe and the human world understand the fundamental role of things! Only when something is useful can it become a talent and be applied without hindrance. However, sentient beings often receive a mere fraction of materials from Heaven and immediately think themselves capable of running a dye workshop—truly overestimating their own abilities!
Yet it remains unclear: what purpose does Heaven's influence serve? It is precisely through understanding the process of learning and growth that one may gain more insight into the necessary experiences required for development. This understanding allows one to discern how to forge oneself into an instrument of achievement, and whether one can ascend and elevate further.
Humans are also one of the animals, being the active entities of sentient beings, not merely fixed active entities. In contrast, plants and trees are fixed active entities, while humans are the active entities within the realm of sentient beings. These two are distinctly different, as all sentient beings have the potential to become vessels of cultivation.
One must undergo a transformation by addressing one's own peculiar temperaments and eccentric habits in order to attain the opportunity for achievement. Otherwise, persisting in the habitual patterns of the past will likely make it exceedingly difficult to become a being capable of benefiting from and engaging in meaningful activities. Engaging in such beneficial activities is, moreover, a fundamental condition for all sentient beings to achieve growth.
Fulfilling all the conditions necessary for completion.
The fundamental requirement of Heaven is because sentient beings in the human world often impose their own habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature upon their actions. This gives rise to numerous behaviors that fail to benefit themselves or bring virtue and grace to all living beings, thereby hindering the elevation of the mind, spirit, and body.
Within the fundamental functions of one's own being, there exist many obstacles and barriers. These not only subject oneself to such hindrances but also make it difficult to break free from the resulting suffering. This is because, under such conditions of cause and effect, one is unable to gain greater benefit, failing to achieve refinement or attain perfection. How could such a situation arise in the face of these issues?
I ask of all sentient beings, in the human world, how many can truly claim to have achieved genuine maturity and perfection? Such individuals are exceedingly rare! This is largely due to one's own inability to attain complete maturity and perfection, which in turn traps oneself in circumstances that hinder further growth. This gives rise to numerous problems, making it profoundly difficult to achieve "perfection," and equally challenging to attain "completion."
Sentient beings descend to the mortal realm,  
Their habits, personality, and innate nature are revealed.
Such is the nature of habitual forces—they hinder one's own return to the celestial vehicle.
Perfection requires the capacity to fulfill completeness,  
Achieving one's own vessel of causes and conditions.
The movement of objects draws from themselves,  
Perfecting the vessel fills the circle to its brim.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; furthermore, regarding the full and abundant functions we each possess, how can we elevate them to a higher level? It is through constructing and cultivating within the human world, rather than waiting until after death to speak of fullness and perfection. Under such conditions and causes, there is fundamentally no opportunity at all. I hope we can deeply contemplate the meaning contained within.
We are grateful for the sincere hearts expressed in the birthday celebration rituals, and also for the purpose of the True Buddha Heart School’s descent into the human world to promote and propagate the Dharma. This is to ignite countless heart-lamps, illuminate the boundless shores of Buddha-nature, and elevate the four billion sentient beings who are Buddha’s children. At this very moment, they have all descended into the human world to guide and deliver, enabling the ninety-two original spiritual beings to ascend, transcend, and progress!
##Venerable of the Void (Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue of Humanity and Heaven)
The Venerable Void-Dragon Soaring Celestial One arrives,  
Truly delightful is the Chongxin Daoist Sanctuary.
The arrangement of students and teachers supports and promotes the great path of the Dao.
Aha! Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, we joyfully celebrate in advance the auspicious birthday of our lineage’s Great Patriarch, Namo Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp. Reflecting deeply on the Great Patriarch fills one with heartfelt emotion—truly a devotion that remains unwavering from start to finish. Moreover, all saints, Buddhas, and students of the True Buddha Heart Lineage will surely propagate its teachings in the future.
To understand: How can one truly contribute to the propagation of the Great Dao? It is by practicing it in the present moment. Because the Chongxin Lineage and the True Buddha Heart Lineage are inseparable, these two lineages complement and support each other. It is essential for everyone to mutually fulfill, mutually achieve, mutually refine, and mutually promote one another. Only then can the true nature be realized!
## Living Buddha Jigong of the Void
Nanping protects and blesses all sentient beings,  
Daoji unifies and embodies the proof of religion and enlightenment.
The Ancient Buddha descended to compose the Book of the Limitless,  
The Limitless issued decrees to bestow blessings upon the world.
How does the Wuji issue decrees?
Sentient beings, in their pursuit of spiritual clarity, must align with the true frequency that comprehends the will of Heaven or the divine Buddhas and immortals to establish a connection. Only through mutual reception can they activate past accumulations or, through all learning processes in the present moment, engage in cultivation and adjustment, thereby accumulating experiences for growth.
In the course of existence, if one can connect with the heavens and the immortals through spiritual communion, it will prompt a process of reflection: how can this be put into practice? It is essential to be truly grounded, "living as a human rather than pretending to be a deity." Only by adhering to this principle and acting with sincerity can one avoid falling into a state that is difficult to transform.
Sentient beings often encounter situations where, while connecting with immortals and Buddhas, a long-term trust must be established. It should be "treating humans as humans," not "treating humans as gods." Under such circumstances, it would indeed be strange if one did not face setbacks and adversities, and it would also be difficult to resolve predicaments.
Conditions for the Issuance of Wuji's Decrees
Wuji – precisely when numerous decrees are bestowed and descend to the mortal realm, regardless of whether it is: the Mother Goddess system, the Queen Mother system, the Compassionate Grace system, the Heavenly Dao system, the Luanmen system... among too many systems, all aim to allow sentient beings to make their own choices, selecting a religion of greater interest to them for learning, growth, and practice.
In the human world, many people choose to study religious education and cultural courses based on their personal interests. This is a great opportunity bestowed by Heaven upon sentient beings, not limited to just one or two religious sects. However, it is not enough to merely engage with a religion out of preference or interest; one must also commit to its practices.
Providing sentient beings with the opportunity to select favorable affinities is precisely the foundation and pivotal moment for learning and growth in the human world. It is essential to first undergo learning and development within all religious sects and lineages across the vast universe, as this serves as a significant catalyst for profound elevation—a kind of virtuous growth and ascension.
Therefore, if sentient beings, upon entering a religion, still retain their former undesirable eccentricities and peculiar temperaments, how can they transform themselves? How, within the religion they are drawn to and fond of, can they achieve upward progress and self-cultivation? This is an aspect that followers of all religious faiths in the human world find exceedingly difficult to comprehend!
In the past, immortals and buddhas; in the present, humanity.
Wuji—is the birthplace where all sentient beings' primordial spirits descend! Yet, can one truly comprehend the deeds and actions of past lives in one's own history? Now, having descended into the mortal realm, and even having been born as a human, one should strive to return to and transcend the duties and missions once undertaken in Wuji within this very lifetime!
Otherwise, one will remain perpetually mired in the mundane world, unable to access the abundant resources bestowed by Heaven to seize the opportunity for personal achievement, return, transcendence, and fulfillment. This is because, regardless of one’s past sacred duties or spiritual attainments, one is now truly oneself once more, irrespective of how lofty one’s past spiritual rank or merits may have been.
In the present moment, one is truly oneself, no longer the immortal or buddha of the past. In the human world, it is essential to take responsibility for one's own actions and conduct, rather than imposing all past spiritual attainments upon oneself. Undoubtedly, doing so would only create numerous troubles and obstacles for oneself.
Because the present self is the true self, no longer the immortal or Buddha of the past, and moreover burdened with numerous sins, having been banished to the mortal realm, it is impossible to retain the spiritual attainment of former times. For those who are reborn by vow, it is precisely their own willing choice to come into the human world, where they must experience all the joys and sorrows, using them as opportunities for learning and growth.
Imperial Edict Issued for the Selection of Movements
Only then can one avoid losing their original nature and innate spiritual standing in the human world. It is essential to understand clearly: regardless of whether one bears any responsibilities, returns by vow, or is cast down to the mortal realm burdened with sins, all are treated with equal and impartial regard, and no special privileges are granted to anyone.
Issuing the Decree—In the temples and halls of the human world, whether it be the presiding immortals and Buddhas or the leaders of a religion, all bear the duties and missions bestowed by Heaven. From the perspective of the human world, this is an undeniable fact. Regardless of the specific duties and missions undertaken, they are all bestowed upon the human world by Heaven.
Heaven and the human world share a covenant of duty and mission, whether formal or spoken: How should one act, in the past, present, or future? It also allows one to understand: to be willing is to become a spokesperson for Heaven, and the duties and missions undertaken by each person are never the same!
This is precisely the project benchmarked by the Supreme Heaven, serving as the basis for carrying out the duties and mission of the Great Dao. It is founded upon the "benchmark project" implemented by the Supreme Heaven and the principal deities of this lineage and its temples, halls, and shrines. The covenant established with the Supreme Heaven thus represents an opportunity unlike that available to ordinary temples, halls, or shrines.
How to request and issue imperial decrees.
Among the decrees issued by Heaven, there is one that involves collaborating with specific lineages or temples and halls to fulfill, in the human realm, all the mandates and actions ordained from above. It is precisely through the decrees promulgated by Heaven that numerous acts of selection are necessary, so that the will of Heaven may be truly implemented and carried out in the human world.
However, not every lineage or temple, shrine, or hall is capable of fulfilling such duties and missions! Some flee midway, while others, constrained by all manner of human affairs and various factors in the mortal world, fail to accomplish the will and duties entrusted by Heaven—such cases are all too common.
Not only is this the case; it is precisely by the selection of Heaven that the conditions for issuing and disseminating decrees are established, targeting those with true virtue and capacity or religious institutions! It is also through Heaven's selection that those virtuous individuals truly capable of undertaking Heaven's will to fulfill their duties, or the presiding deities of various temples and sacred halls, are chosen to jointly bear these conditions and carry them out.
Moreover, this kind of function merely serves as the very first cause and condition within the human world. However, it does not guarantee that every mission or sacred task can be accomplished, precisely because there are too many uncertain factors involved. This is exactly why sentient beings often find it most difficult to achieve their aims—most of the time, obstacles arise as a result.
Conditions for the Proclamation of the Supreme Ultimate's Edict and the Expansion of the Great Vow
Under the conditions set forth by this decree, it is often impossible for sentient immortals, Buddhas, or those in charge to align with the responsibilities bestowed by Heaven, resulting in numerous missions that are difficult to accomplish. Moreover, when such conditions lead to decline, not only does it fail to enable sentient beings to learn and transform, but it also drags religion into obstacles that are hard to overcome and transcend.
It also depends on whether one possesses "sufficient awareness" and a substantial "spiritual orientation," and even more so on having a "firm determination to accomplish" the mission's objectives, as well as how to differentiate the means of achieving them! Regardless of any deity or buddha in temples and shrines, or all leaders in the human world, all should be able to meet these conditions and opportunities.
It is precisely because the Heavens observe that whenever an immortal or Buddha submits an application, or when the presiding one holds such a grand aspiration, the combination of both the immortal or Buddha and the presiding one will create the prerequisite conditions. Therefore, as long as it is not too far-fetched or deviates excessively from the main theme, the Heavens will grant the application according to their grand aspiration.
Borrowing the great vow must be carried out truthfully.
It is precisely in the issuance of decrees that define duties and missions that one must understand: issuing a decree is quite simple, but fulfilling the duties and missions may not necessarily be accomplished! Moreover, within the human world, there are too many uncertain factors, which are the very reasons that prevent duties and missions from being achieved. Yet, it is still necessary for humans to carry them out.
If it cannot be accomplished, the mutations that occur in humanity are truly dreadful. Thus, the immortals and buddhas sometimes observe all that humans do, yet find themselves utterly helpless! In the present era, there are many who merely borrow the connection with immortals and buddhas to engage in spiritual communication as spirit mediums. In the human world, this practice of "treating humans as gods" again falls into limitations and obstacles.
One often falls into the predicament of being unable to fulfill one's duties and mission, and such obstacles are ubiquitous in the mortal world, leading to a sense of helplessness. Moreover, those who bear a karmic connection with higher and more profound celestial beings from the upper realms tend to inflate themselves by identifying with the highest and most profound realms.
The decree mandates that the foundation must be examined.
Then one would look down upon all other religions of sentient beings, which also leads oneself to encounter many bottlenecks and hardships in the trials of life. Moreover, failing to recognize that one is human, not divine, and that immortals and Buddhas are immortals and Buddhas—if one cannot view them equally—will result in the fundamental principles of equal religious education and culture being obscured by even more ignorance and obstacles within the human world.
One is bound to encounter numerous obstacles, adversities, difficulties, and setbacks... that serve to wear down and magnify one's own hindrances. Under such conditions, can these trials be overcome? It is essential to let go of all arrogance in perspective and posture, allowing oneself to practice great equality and great impartiality!
All sentient beings are human, just like oneself, and not the deities or buddhas behind them. This point must be clearly and firmly understood; otherwise, all those who speak on behalf of deities and buddhas, if they cannot change this condition, will inevitably face their own suffering, hardship, and torment! This is an absolutely true trial—can one pass it? It is exceedingly difficult!
The Limitless issues decrees descending to the mortal realm;  
All sentient immortals and Buddhas join together in their fulfillment.
The master of the palace hall serves as the guide—how should one tread the great path of practice?
Do not think that receiving the high and mighty is a matter of bowing low and humbling oneself at all costs.
Humility of heart is of greater importance; it lessens obstacles and mitigates trials.
This verse! Let it be studied together by all temples, halls, and leaders of various lineages! Do we ourselves harbor such arrogant thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes? This is bound to bring upon us numerous difficulties, obstacles, and sufferings. To understand the methods to dissolve these is indeed a great fortune! If we fail to do so, what then shall become of us after our passing?
It is truly difficult to ascend and return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm of Principle and the various celestial realms, and within these realms, there is not a single immortal or Buddha who is unequal; it is precisely humanity's self-inflated suffering and torment. This old monk has arrived today, and I have brought along a companion! Our old friend is here cheering us on, and soon we can revel through the night once more—how splendid, haha! Let us meet again!
##Before the Throne of the Limitless, Immortal Ma Gu
Void traverses from the boundless origin,  
As the phoenix descends, reverence aligns the heart.
The Celestial Venerable presides over the celestial rotation today,  
Tomorrow, the Chan teachings shall dispel confusion and reveal enlightenment.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha—the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji—has descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of *The Great Tao of Wuji: "The Decree of Wuji." This work arranges a karmic connection that has remained indescribable for countless generations, transcending ordinary transmissions and comprehensions.
Understand clearly: the works expounded by the Chongxin lineage are precisely the cause and condition of a timeless masterpiece, which alone makes possible such dissemination from above. Otherwise, how could one comprehend so many divine resources from firsthand materials? It is achieved through the mutual cooperation of the immortals and Buddhas of the Dao lineage and the presiding officers, growing step by step. Do you not consider yourselves fortunate?
Moreover, one might still think: that is nothing extraordinary! It is essential to gain clarity about one's eighth consciousness, and not merely attend classes at the temple. If one listens to the teachings of the immortals and buddhas in the moment, only to return them afterward, this is why memories fail to take deep root. Consequently, you are unable to "have it ready when needed." Is this not the case?
##Void Fortune Bright King
The South Sea serves as a protective barrier,  
Where ancient Buddhas, in compassion, guide all beings toward cultivation.
The Infinite Dao, Chapter Nineteen:  
When Heaven’s Virtue Prevails, the World Finds Peace.
The will of Heaven is benevolent toward all sentient beings.
Sentient beings are the foundation of ascension, for it is from the Wuji that the decree is issued, bringing forth both a downward transmission and a legacy. To the myriad beings of the sentient world, it can be said: this serves as the dividing point between ascending transcendence and descending reincarnation. How, then, can one come to understand oneself? It is essential to grow within the vast cosmos—only then is it correct!
Sentient beings may say: it is precisely through the elevating function to transcend. In this way, one can certainly clarify within one's own existential orientation—how to achieve thorough understanding of oneself? Furthermore, amid all life processes within the vast universe, one grows through this existential orientation. At the same time, when religion is understood as decreed by Heaven, how then should one proceed?
All sentient beings aspire that the decrees bestowed by Heaven upon the appointed ones, within their present religious faith, can lead to elevation and transcendent growth. Moreover, in the Wuji, decrees can be granted to all sentient beings, allowing everyone to fully comprehend and manifest the virtuous intent of Heaven. In this way, upward growth, elevation, and transcendence can be achieved.
The blessings and grace of Heaven are boundless.
The Supreme Heaven—this refers to all celestial realms within the great cosmos. The Supreme Heaven is composed of numerous celestial realms. In any celestial kingdom, it can be referred to as the Great Celestial Realm of the Supreme Heaven. This is because sentient beings in the mortal world often look up in reverence, perceiving the heavens as a vast cosmic realm.
In today's era, if one could traverse the celestial realms by means of high-speed technological aircraft, it would become apparent that human existence in this world is bound to a certain orientation of survival, dependent on all mountains, rivers, and seas. Within the vast expanse of heaven and earth, without the aid of flying vehicles to soar through the skies, it would be exceedingly difficult to comprehend the immense vastness of the entire cosmos.
Thus, one cannot understand that in the sky, there are still celestial realms. Humans might think that immortals and Buddhas reside in the space of the heavens, yet they cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is only because aircraft soar through the sky that we can know how extremely cold it is at altitudes of twenty to thirty thousand meters. The existence of such atmospheric spaces remains beyond human comprehension.
Originally, the space illuminated by the sun should be a rather hot space, right? Why does it become colder the higher one goes, while the space where humans live is comparatively warmer? This aspect of the high-altitude space allows everyone to understand why it becomes colder the higher one ascends. Thus, for sentient beings, this becomes comprehensible knowledge.
Only by soaring high in the sky does one realize how cold the weather truly is.
The Supreme Heaven—offers protection to all sentient beings within the vast cosmos and the earthly realm. Regardless of all species of beings, particularly those sentient beings coexisting in the human world, who live naturally and thrive, it is by the decree of the Supreme Heaven that all are safeguarded and granted greater and more abundant sustenance.
It is in accordance with the decree of Heaven that it is revealed, so that sentient beings may understand: in the world of sentience, to achieve the protection of the entire human world, without distinction of any religious nation or sect, all are treated with equal truthfulness. For the land of the Chinese nation, it is also more likely to receive the direct decrees of Heaven to be conveyed.
If we consider other nations, it is difficult to find such an opportunity for the Heavenly Decree to be bestowed. Moreover, without the capacity to perform appropriately solemn rituals, seeking the Heavenly Decree to be imparted upon the sentient world can be said to be an endeavor to establish karmic causes within the vast universe. Often, it cannot be expanded according to the original great vows.
Instead, it brings upon oneself considerable difficulties and obstacles, precisely because obtaining a divine decree is exceedingly easy. Yet, after receiving the decree from Heaven, how should one proceed? How must one align with the sacred duties of Heaven to enact them across the vast universe? All actions following the issuance of the decree will reveal the true essence!
Why is it so difficult to carry out the will of Heaven?
Germany and Italy—precisely by the grace of heaven descending in compassion, the decree is now issued within temples, halls, or religious lineages. It is essential to realize how to enact it after the decree is proclaimed. Moreover, humanity is precisely a world "transformed by the mind alone." Within the arising and ceasing of a single thought, what exists in the human realm cannot steadfastly uphold the great vows once made in the past.
Among all the sects and lineages across the vast universe, it should be clear that there is a margin of error in terms of percentages. It can be said that while a hundred divine decrees may be bestowed upon the human world, only about one-fifth of them can truly be realized. Even achieving this is considered quite remarkable, for in reality, most efforts end in complete failure.
When the will of Heaven is decreed, how should one act and conduct oneself in the mortal world? Observe the actions of religious leaders—how do they proceed? Precisely because of such decrees, it is essential to understand: how to act and conduct oneself in the mortal world is a matter of practical and engaged behavior!
Nor is it merely about armchair strategizing; one must charge into battle to achieve success. As for the leaders who issue commands, if they cannot demonstrate a clear overarching vision, the entire force is likely to be annihilated. It is only by planning and strategizing holistically in the present—considering how to accomplish future goals—that the right path can be found.
The essence of divine virtue and intention is to achieve fulfillment.
It is essential to apply wisdom, and furthermore, to strive for self-awareness and understanding of others, so that all students may unite in heart and participate in the implementation of all sacred duties. This will gather a great force, which, when viewed in this light, represents the sum of collective action. If united as one, it will surely be promoted and expanded!
The essence of virtue and will—is the descent of divine decrees bestowed by Heaven. If, upon receiving such decrees, one fails to devote full effort to the growth and realization of sacred duties, it will inevitably burden humanity and the celestial beings with sorrows and obstacles that are difficult to transcend through the ages. Such circumstances will, in the future, hinder the conditions for the celestial beings' ascension and elevation.
Moreover, this hinders the leaders and all participating students from achieving greater transcendence. This is a bottleneck and difficulty often encountered in general temples, monasteries, and religious lineages. How can one break through this? It is essential to have a firm, clear, and correct understanding of sacred duties, without any compromise whatsoever!
This can be compared to a project bid in the human world: once accepted, it cannot be retracted or breached, and every possible means must be employed to fulfill it. As for the sacred duties themselves or the decrees issued by the divine will of Heaven, Heaven observes the actions taken after the decrees are bestowed. How then are the immortals, Buddhas, leaders, students, and believers assessed? This is profoundly difficult to comprehend!
Firm resolve fulfills the will of Heaven above,  
Extending to the mortal world, impartial and just.
One must clearly understand the commitments made, and not rely on them to be fulfilled.
The objectives of human endeavors are set,  
All can be negotiated with clearly defined contracts.
The divine virtue descends to the mortal realm—  
How shall the great foundation be fulfilled?
This verse! It encourages all sentient beings to support one another; in the vast universe, if the benevolent will of the Heavens can grant sentient beings greater room for growth, it must be observed through whether the sacred duties can be steadfastly accomplished! Moreover, in the vast universe, all religions may seek divine decrees, but how much endurance do they truly possess?
When the decrees of Heaven are issued, Heaven also oversees and examines whether one can shoulder its great responsibilities. Whether one will retreat in the face of even the slightest setback or difficulty, and the sorrow that follows, can be clearly observed in the human world. This is because the fulfillment of Heaven's will is not guaranteed!
It is essential to have a comprehensive and far-reaching dissemination of the Dao's teachings to promote its spread. Whether sentient beings can resolutely accomplish this in the present moment, and realize the divine will and decreed intentions of Heaven, determines whether goodness can flourish and grow in the human world. This also requires perfect coordination among the immortals and Buddhas, the leaders, all students, and believers.
Only then can the realization of a spiritual mission be achieved, which is precisely understood and accomplished through the human world. All religions are the same in this regard. How can one reach the firm determination to complete it? It must be clear at a glance! By thoroughly comprehending all sacred duties, there will be a virtuous upward growth, elevation, and transcendence. After troubling for a while, one returns to the heavenly realm. Farewell for now!
##Before the Throne of the Limitless, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Lady
Through the void, the infinite penetrates the revered heart; in heaven and on earth, all share one heart.
The Holy Mother ascends the platform with a righteous heart,  
Gathering together virtuous disciples in sincere devotion.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea descended to compose "The Great Tao Without Limits – Chapter Nineteen: The Virtuous Intent of Heaven." By further analyzing the origins of the opportunity to receive decrees for those steadfast in fulfilling their missions, we can gain a thorough understanding of how every worldly and sacred task is accomplished.
How can one achieve realization? It can be accomplished through unwavering determination in the human world. One must understand that encountering difficulties, setbacks, and adversities is a very ordinary matter. Furthermore, it is realized through the integration of all mental states. How does one maintain steadfast determination toward both the "enterprise body and the path-duty body"? One must truthfully, in the present moment, embody and verify that both worldly endeavors and the divine duties of Heaven are accomplished through the same underlying principle.
## Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
Virtue and grace of heaven and earth depend on the interplay of emptiness and substance,  
While the turning of the void in the human world is grounded in affection and righteousness.
The virtue of the sage aligns with the will of Heaven,  
Protecting and upholding the world as its sovereign guide.
All sentient beings in the vast universe are protected and upheld.
The decree is issued by Wuji, carrying the virtuous intent of the Heavenly Realm, which is to protect and uphold all religious sects and lineages across the vast universe. Whether the decree is issued by Wuji or by Haotian, it is upheld by the administrative units of the Heavenly Realm, reflecting a genuine necessity. For all humanity, it is essential to propagate and promote this necessity in such a manner!
Within the decrees issued by the Wuji, it is necessary to incorporate the retrospective recognition of Haotian in order to achieve mutual fulfillment among all temples and sacred halls. This is because, in relation to the decrees of Haotian, they also align with the foundational reliance of all religions. It can be likened to an administrative unit receiving a decree—yet from where does the decree itself originate?
If one deviates from the decrees issued under this edict, it often raises doubts in the human world regarding all subsequent decrees: why do sentient beings frequently become embroiled in disputes over where the decrees originate and from whom they are issued? It is precisely under such circumstances that the obstacles of ignorance arise!
The Wuji decreed that Haotian must be retroactively recognized.
The Great Cosmos—this term can be applied to all religious sects and lineages under heaven and earth. This is because within the cosmos, all religious practices for edification or any decrees issued are uniformly promulgated by the Heavenly Court, rarely directly by the Wuji. In the present era, why must decrees be issued directly by the Wuji?
It is essential to understand: at the moment the Wuji issues a decree, an additional confirmation is made through Haotian. This step ensures the completeness of the decree. Sentient beings, in their religious faith, often overlook this stage, believing that all decrees they receive are directly transmitted from the Wuji to the human world.
However, it is little known that at the same time the decree is issued from the Wuji, if Haotian does not subsequently acknowledge it, there will be very little substantial basis to rely on in the future. In the past, all palaces, halls, temples, and shrines were like this. Yet now, many bypass this decree to issue directives directly, making it impossible to understand how, at the moment the decree is issued by Heaven, it is to be followed?
The Grand Cosmos's Framework for the Protection of All Beings
It is essential for the Heavenly Court to reaffirm and issue decrees, granting temples and halls as places of reliance. The Heavenly Court is precisely the supreme institution directly overseeing the authority to judge the rise and fall of all religions. This includes all religious sects and lineages, as well as contemporary emerging religions. This immutable law, passed down since ancient times, applies to all religious entities without exception.
The Great Cosmos—regards all religious sects and lineages in the human world with complete equality, impartiality, and selfless provision of abundant resources. When there is genuine need or desire in the human realm, from the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, divine decrees can be directly issued to the respective temples, halls, or religious sects and lineages.
It is the decree issued by the Heavenly Realm to the mortal world, to clarify that the great compassion and benevolent virtue of the Heavenly Realm are omnipresent. Moreover, for the well-being and needs of all humanity, the Heavenly Realm grants even greater elevation to the sentient world, regardless of any sacred deities, immortals, Buddhas, exalted beings, or Bodhisattvas—all are treated equally.
The will of Heaven proceeds according to established order.
When submitting an application or making a request to the Heavenly Realm, it is necessary to report it level by level, passing through each checkpoint upward. After the Heavenly Realm receives the decree, all required procedures must be followed. The administrative units of the Heavenly Realm then forward it to the respective subordinate units for review. If the matters applied for or requested involve different departments, how should this be handled?
A comprehensive meeting of all departments will be convened to deliberate collectively, gathering all agenda items for formulation. Precisely according to the conclusions reached through collective deliberation, decisions will be conveyed level by level and gate by gate to the applying and requesting units. Whether to provide answers, grant approval, or deny requests must be discussed jointly by all units of the heavenly realm.
Protection and Upholding: This is a principle that all religions across the vast universe must adhere to. It is because the decrees issued by the Wuji or by the Haotian must be faithfully observed. Moreover, it is precisely within Haotian’s authority to carry out rotations and adjustments of the duties assigned to the deities of all religious sects and lineages.
It is precisely because the Great Heavenly Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven establishes and oversees the duties and responsibilities of the celestial order that respect and support for the administrative units of the Vast Heaven are essential. Otherwise, if a celestial being, Buddha, or deity is reassigned, it becomes impossible to foresee the implications for their associated religion, temple, or sacred hall. Moreover, who the next appointed deity or enlightened being might be remains exceedingly difficult to ascertain.
Rise and fall, power and measure, examination and supervision.
Will it proceed according to the original ways and practices? Not necessarily! If it is solely appointed by Heaven to carry out the fundamental functions of its duties, it will indeed be so. However, when it comes to protection and support, whether through all religions of the human world or temples and sacred halls, what will be the merits and achievements of the appointed deities and buddhas before they descend into the world?
This is because, in most temples and religious halls, the longest tenure is seven years, after which one is rotated to another post. This applies to all religions and temples in the world, regardless of whether they are Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, Christian, or Islamic. Some may wonder: why is the tenure set at seven years?
In the human world, there exists the necessity of promotion and demotion as a balancing mechanism. For deities and buddhas: those with merits may ascend and transcend; those with faults are given opportunities for reflection and improvement, undergoing demotion for rectification. Thus, a process of alternation takes place, bringing forth a renewed atmosphere. In the assignment of duties and positions, this serves as a rotational function.
Rise and fall, authority and balance, must be regulated through rotation and adjustment.
Furthermore, in the process of all renewal and transformation, mutual learning and growth are possible. Precisely for this reason, there exists a trajectory that follows previous precedents. Why, then, during the tenure of 100 to 500 years, does one engage in the cycle of learning and rotation? It is essential to understand that this pertains to how all merits and achievements from past lives are accounted for!
Furthermore, in the learning process, can one ascend to a higher level, or become rigidly attached to fixed patterns? Moreover, if one stubbornly clings to all past learning behaviors or acts according to ingrained habits from previous lives, it often only amounts to persisting for a maximum of "five hundred years of merit." It is exceedingly difficult to achieve any progress beyond such a timeframe.
The Great Cosmos Sustains—It is evident through the cyclical rotation system of the celestial deities and Buddhas decreed by Heaven, which clarifies one's merits and achievements in life: what they were then, and what they are now. In response, Heaven dispatches the Sun and Moon Traveling Deities to oversee, and even assess the promotions and demotions of all appointed deities and Buddhas. In essence, this is what humanity today refers to as the IC microchip!
These conditions and causes are fulfilled through direct engagement with the human world, serving as the prerequisites for appointment. They are precisely overseen and monitored by the Heavens to assess the results. If the conditions and causes are insufficient or stagnant, it becomes difficult to elevate oneself. Moreover, one's achievements in life are combined with one's current actions and conduct.
The cause and condition of Chongxin are special and not subject to rotation.
Regarding appointments to positions and assignments of duties or rotations, such conditions are quite common even among the deities in the human world. As for the predestined affinity of the Chongxin lineage, it indeed has a foundation for establishing a sect and founding a lineage: clearly, it is a temple of educational culture akin to the Apricot Altar, directly receiving and disseminating the affinity bestowed by the Heavens, thus free from such concerns.
It is precisely that the Supreme Being has established this condition through the implementation of the new law, aiming to create a foundation for future sentient beings to transcend and ascend, free from the entanglements of the cyclic adjustment system. This is because, within the Chongxin Sect lineage, the Supreme Being regards all celestial Buddhas and sacred duties as those who possess a stronger resolve to accomplish this mission.
If we were to rotate and replace the current immortals, Buddhas, or deities, one might ask: how then can we remain steadfast in our resolve to achieve the implementation of the new laws by the Heavenly Realm, and to promote and realize all the accomplishments of the Lotus Buddha Land Pure Land in the 21st century? From this, it becomes clear that the foundational conditions established by Chongxin are not comparable to those of ordinary worldly religions or temples!
The decree of the Wuji is bestowed upon the mortal realm;  
The virtuous intent of Haotian is even more genuine.
All religions in the world uphold the balance between ascent and descent.
Rotation and succession bring renewal; reverence of the heart, through cause and condition, brings renewal anew.
Guiding the return to surpass the new,  
Nurturing the ancestral lineage with renewed virtue and intent.
This verse! Together with all the deities, Buddhas, and students of our Chongxin, as well as all the listening divine beings, we mutually grow. In the process of protecting the great cosmos, it is an achievement of pioneering a new emerging sect. Moreover, it is through the Highest Heaven’s implementation of the new dharma in the mortal realm, establishing the sect of the Great Way of return and perfection, that we can dispel everyone’s doubts.
## Immortal Maiden Xu Feiqiong, Before the Throne of the Limitless
Void and karma revere the heart's awakening;  
The Living Buddha Jigong descends to the world.
The Chairman clarifies the original intent, dispelling doubts with virtuous grace.
Good evening to all holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the true presiding chairman of our lineage, the Supreme Master of the Void, has descended to compose the outline for "The Great Dao Without Extremes: Chapter Twenty—The Protection of the Great Cosmos." This work analyzes the laws that Heaven has rarely expounded upon throughout the ages, making clear why Heaven’s rotation and adjustment system operates on a seven-year cycle.
However, while this is generally the case for ordinary temples and halls, within our lineage, we are supported by the Supreme Ruler of the Cosmos—the Heavenly Father, the Primordial Celestial King. Moreover, we have received the direct personal decree of the Supreme Empress of the Wuji, as well as the confirmed edict issued by the Great Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven.
Moreover, the Grand Chairman of our sect—the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor Wén Héng—personally recommended, approved, and endorsed this endeavor. Additionally, the Ancient Buddha Námó Rándēng came to the Chóngxīn sect to establish the system of the True Buddha Heart School. This was further supported by the Three Pure Ones system, including the three great celestial venerables: Yuánshǐ, Língbǎo, and Dàodé.
Therefore, the commencement of growth in the twenty-first century serves as the foundation, further enhanced by the sacred scriptures authored upon imperial request by the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha Daoji. Together, they have inaugurated the realm of the Lotus Treasure Pure Land World. With all these intertwined causes and conditions converging, it becomes evident how a new emerging religion can propagate its teachings into the future.
Otherwise, one might think that establishing "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" is merely a slogan, an empty promise, an unattainable illusion. Not so! If the Chongxin lineage fails to fulfill its sacred mission, such conditions will only elevate to the next level and realm in the future.
If this can be achieved, the future will be truly as it is—roaming freely through the cosmic realms of heaven, coming and going like the Tathagata. What would such a state of mind be like? One might think that it is utterly unattainable in the present moment—is that so? It is essential to have faith! There is an old saying in the human world: Back when computers were not yet advanced, a certain manufacturer once boasted extravagantly. How did it go?
In the future, every household will be equipped with computer technology—a notion that was once dismissed by others as lofty rhetoric, even empty talk, and deemed utterly impossible to achieve! Now, merely twenty years later, I ask everyone: Are computers still unfamiliar to us? I wonder how this analogy resonates with your current mindset.
All conditions are set for success, do you have faith? Yes, that's the right attitude! Faith is what makes it real, because it's not just about: Chongxin University alone, but also many other ventures, waiting for everyone to come together and jointly achieve the growth of this great undertaking for the ages. I wonder if you can embrace this mindset and approach? It is essential to strive diligently!
##Void Principle Virtue Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva
The Limitless issues edicts to bestow virtue and grace;  
Before the carriage, protecting the mother with sincere devotion.
The Immortal Maiden descended with the celestial scriptures,  
To guide all beings toward the ultimate path of salvation and completion.
Basic Conditions for Universal Salvation and Completion
Sentient beings within religions often hope to receive direct decrees from the Wuji for dissemination, essentially bypassing the stage of decrees issued by Haotian. This leads to comparisons among religious beliefs: which is higher? Which is greater? Which is superior? All such attitudes arise from this mindset.
Regarding the act of receiving divine decrees in religion, it is precisely about how to enable oneself to clearly understand: while receiving the sacred decree from the Wuji, one must be aware of which level and realm it is that provides the teachings! The conditions manifested by the Great Dao must be genuinely and substantively educational and transformative, serving as a means of dissemination in the human world, thereby benefiting humanity and promoting its elevation.
If one merely receives the decrees of Wuji or the void, a crucial step would be overlooked: the subsequent action and recognition of the Haotian decree, which must not be ignored! Therefore, when Wuji issues a decree, it simultaneously descends to all realms, serving as a test. Whether one can pass it is uncertain!
The decree of the Wuji has been proclaimed.
To be granted the tangible and substantial, and to achieve genuine merit in carrying out the divine will—this requires that sentient beings, upon receiving the decrees of Heaven, possess a sufficient understanding. They must recognize that it is through the respectful petitions of celestial beings and Buddhas to Heaven that the "Wuji Yi Decree" is bestowed, thereby benefiting all affectionate human beings.
Sentient beings look to the heavens with hope, seeking an act of "elevating and illuminating the heart." This is because the decrees issued by the Wuji must be validated and confirmed by Haotian, who grants the Jade Decree as proof. Otherwise, how could the decrees be fully implemented and realized? Moreover, what obstacles might arise in the human world as a result?
All human beings are fond of comparing themselves with others, criticizing and attacking one another. Some even boast that the teachings they have received are directly decreed by the Wuji, thereby looking down upon the merits of other religions. It is essential to understand that in the mortal world, submitting petitions level by level and stage by stage is merely the completion of the application process.
The decree of the Wuji descends and transforms into action.
It is precisely the Wuji Heavenly Principle that takes the lead. Can one possess all the bearing, or the realm and level, of the Wuji Heavenly Principle? That is simply impossible! Sentient beings all prefer to receive edicts from Wuji for validation and reliance, yet they are unable to comprehend how the edicts and intentions encompassed by Wuji truly operate. I believe very few truly understand this!
Universal Salvation Criteria—For the present era's practitioners of the Yiguan Tiandao, this refers to a lineage that is truly capable of inspiring heartfelt devotion and providing verification. It must possess the capacity to purify the vast world. This is because the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji mutually reverently petitioned the Wuji Huangmu to receive the decree of Heaven, thereby initiating the action of universal salvation and descending grace.
For a practitioner of the Yiguan Tiandao, the cultivation of a fresh and pure character can transform even the most stubborn and unwholesome individuals. Through the continuous influence and practices of Yiguan Tiandao, they are completely remade, even to the point of a thorough moral renewal. This involves significant reform and change, guiding sentient beings into the religious path to correct the erroneous sectarian tendencies of the past.
Moreover, it can be said that the Yiguan Heavenly Way possesses such educational capabilities and conditions, enabling its practitioners to unite in heart and strength. This fosters an opportunity and affinity for the solidarity of a great Dao lineage. Achieving such conditions requires considerable effort and dedication. Considering that the Yiguan Heavenly Way has spent over fifty years in Taiwan, accomplishing this can be described as truly diligent.
The achievements of the Yiguan Dao in education and transformation are quite remarkable.
To have achieved such results is highly commended by the Eternal Heavenly Mother, and it can be said to be truly commendable. Therefore, from the perspective of practitioners of the Yiguandao tradition and those who have entered the Buddhist path, the "Completion of the Circle" can be seen as mutually illuminating. Moreover, for all practitioners within Buddhism, regardless of their sect or school, there exists a significant karmic affinity and cohesive force.
It can be said: through any Dharma assembly or other events, as well as lecture venues, one can observe that the supporters who come forth are quite enthusiastic, and the power of unity they rally is also considerable. All are able to participate together in everything that is accomplished. From the perspective of sentient beings in humanity: it is possible to enter into religion to learn and grow!
This is the perspective: One can have previous thoughts, concepts, and methods, yet because sentient beings exist within the human world, if they are unable to find refuge in religious faith, they will lack the greater conditions for growth. Consequently, they become more prone to committing transgressions. The root cause lies in their inability to persist in embracing religion, which hinders their improvement, elevation, and transcendence.
After the completion of the gathering, it is necessary to return.
It is precisely through the essence of "gathering completion" that one can understand how to proceed. It is essential to clarify: entering a religion for cultivation does not mean that everyone can achieve success. Some merely register their names as practitioners in name only, lacking even the slightest temperament that a religious cultivator ought to possess!
Conversely, some individuals bring their own negative dispositions into religion, even influencing how that religion is perceived by outsiders, making it difficult to gain recognition or a sense of refreshing vitality. It is also believed that those who have recently entered a religion should not exhibit such undesirable behavior, but since they are still in the process of learning and growing, it can be forgiven.
However, there are those who, even after three to five decades of joining a religion, show no improvement in their negative habits. Instead, they become complacent, flaunting their seniority and clinging stubbornly to their ways, making it difficult for them to change. Worse still, they may even engage in actions that harm the religion, creating an extremely unfavorable impression among outsiders.
Buddhist cultivation is even more superior.
The cultivation undertaken by Buddhist disciples is notably more accomplished compared to that of ordinary religions. From the perspective of Buddhist practitioners, their profound recognition by the world is not without reason. It stems precisely from the transformative influence of a religion, shaped by the Buddhist scriptures and the efforts of all past great virtuous monks, who have diligently passed down this legacy for over two thousand years.
It is precisely because a solid and sound foundation has been established that all religions in the vast world will have a model and exemplar, and even serve as a positive example. This is because Buddhist practitioners, being more aware of the relationship of cause and effect, will reduce all calamities in the human world. It can be said: there is a genuine quality of cultivation in them!
From a single external appearance, one can see everything clearly, rather than merely relying on verbal explanations or self-promotion to claim how profound and virtuous one's cultivation is. When it comes to the temperament of a practitioner, can it be judged based on whether it embodies these qualities? If compared with external religions, it will undoubtedly be evident at a glance!
The original intent of all decrees issued by the Wuji
However, it is often the case that one regards their own religion as unique and thus looks down upon others. This is a shortcoming and an inequality—a failure to understand religious equality and an act of unfairness. Be cautious and guard against this! If one wishes for people to establish temples or carry out great sacred missions in the world, how can this be achieved otherwise?
How can one clearly understand the will transmitted from the Wuji? If one cannot fully comprehend and grasp it, merely believing that one has the will of the Wuji as a backing to rely upon, it is precisely because of this mindset that it will inevitably affect the future development of all Dao affairs. How can one truly understand the process through which the will of the Wuji is conveyed? It is exceedingly difficult!
Those who can truly fulfill and achieve the divine will are indeed few and far between, with complete failure being far more common. Under such circumstances, why does Heaven still bestow its decrees upon the mortal world? Precisely because Heaven’s great virtue and grace are bestowed upon sentient beings, allowing them to transcend, learn, and grow. It is through this very relationship that the divine will is extended.
The same frequency must be identical.
Furthermore, for all deities, if they are entrusted with the decree of the Infinite, the transmission of education and culture will inevitably be guided by a presiding immortal or Buddha. To fully comprehend the original intent of these immortals and Buddhas, there must be humans with matching frequencies to convey it! When spirit mediums and oracle practitioners undertake this great task of transmission, how does such mutual interaction occur?
Otherwise, how could one come to understand the tasks and missions of Heaven, as well as the intentions and methods of the immortals and buddhas? How could these divine beings descend into the human world? It is precisely because, within the edicts inherited and received by the immortals and buddhas, there exists a need for cooperation with the human world—only then can the conditions for guiding and transforming a realm be fulfilled.
This kind of causal condition requires the cooperation of human "messengers" to enable mutual communication and transmission. The original intention of spreading teachings in all directions and establishing halls everywhere is to guide and help those with destined connections and virtuous affinities to achieve mutual fulfillment! Otherwise, it would be impossible to guide and educate the human world. This is precisely:
The Limitless issues the decree, descending to the mortal realm,  
Guiding sentient beings to return to the true path.
Human beings, through the convergence of causes and conditions,  
Ascend and transcend to achieve perfection.
Everywhere the teachings are expounded under the guidance of the master,  
In every place halls are opened by the will of heavenly virtue.
The salvation and completion of the universal crossing must be clearly understood; the return and transcendence hold even greater promise.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. It serves as a mutual verification for all religions in the present era, offering greater room for growth. Furthermore, it enables sentient beings, within a single lifetime, to enter the stage preceding universal salvation, then proceed to rectify their peculiar habits and temperaments. It is essential to perfect all one’s shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors through cultivation—this is the process of achieving ultimate fulfillment.
Moreover, how can there be a return and transcendence without first achieving a complete cycle? If there is a deficiency in this full circle, how can one truly attain perfection, return, and transcendence? There is only universal salvation, yet without the possibility of return and transcendence—ponder this carefully, and the truth becomes clear!
##Before the Throne of the Limitless, Immortal Maiden Dong Shuangcheng
The Void and Limitless penetrate the revered heart;  
The Virtuous and Bright King ascends the platform in presence.
The Great Way, boundless and profound, is to be propagated; together we recount the universal salvation and the fulfillment of the divine plan.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Institute, good evening! Today, the Vice-Chairperson of our lineage, Immortal Magu before the Wuji Throne, has descended to compose the origins of "The Great Dao Without Limits: Chapter Twenty-One, Universal Salvation and Fulfillment." She has descended to convey the benevolent will of Heaven, offering a clear and thorough exposition and analysis.
It is essential for people to clearly understand that the true purpose lies in "what is universally delivered and what is ultimately fulfilled." Only then can one genuinely exercise their role effectively. Otherwise, even after entering a religion, sentient beings may still be burdened with a multitude of peculiar habits and temperaments. There are even those who, after three or five decades in religion, continue to demonstrate such undesirable traits.
When advice falls on deaf ears, reprimands prove ineffective, words lead to conflict, and actions only make guidance more difficult—can such disciples ever attain accomplishment? Such individuals exist even within our own sect, let alone among the myriad religious schools beyond! If you doubt it, examine yourself honestly. Look back and observe: is this not the reality in all things? This is precisely what must be cultivated and transformed in this world of sentient beings.
Moreover, it can be said: Is he not a cultivator? Certainly not! Is he merely occupying the title of a cultivator without even the opportunity for self-improvement? In the future, will he transcend and return? It becomes exceedingly difficult! Upon careful reflection, all becomes clear! There is no need to elaborate further—such habits are everywhere. If not reformed, it is a waste to have entered a religion as a cultivator, merely holding onto an empty title!

The Twenty-Second Chapter of the Infinite Way of Dao:  
A Joyous Welcome for the Return to Completion
How to Return with Perfection
All sentient beings delight in receiving decrees from the Wuji, which establish opportunities for transformation and transmission of karma. They further yearn for the Wuji to serve as their support and reliance. This grants sentient beings within the vast cosmos the chance to transcend. Yet, when the Wuji issues its decrees, it inevitably brings forth numerous trials and tribulations.
All of this pertains to the actions taken after receiving the "Decree of the Wuji," ensuring that they possess the foundational conditions for transcendence. This precisely distinguishes the different bases of "levels and realms." Thus, regarding the conditions for such bases, it is essential for sentient beings receiving the Decree of the Wuji to understand clearly: this is exactly the case!
How can one achieve perfection
Perfection—it is a very genuine state, capable of harmonious conduct in the human world. Precisely because there is perfection, it is necessary that from the very inception of any matter, this harmony can be fostered, allowing greater room for growth. It must be understood that perfection means there is no deficiency or lack whatsoever!
It is precisely because harmony can bring about universal satisfaction that it is essential to fulfill the necessary conditions. Moreover, since perfection transcends the constraints of conditions and can be elevated through the lubricating effect of harmony, it is through this "perfection of harmony" that all affairs in the human world can achieve a state of completeness without any deficiency.
There is no deficiency whatsoever; it is guided by universal joy to transcendence, and it grows through the mundane human world. This is precisely because, within the human world, if one fails to understand that every undertaking must begin with the intention to achieve universal joy and fulfillment, it becomes exceedingly difficult to attain harmony in all actions and endeavors.
There is a method for how to return.
If we speak of returning, there are many deficiencies and inadequacies. Can we truly understand where this return lies? This is because sentient beings exist only within the human earthly realm. For humanity, the crucial aspect of survival is sustaining life through livelihood, and to sustain life through livelihood, it is essential to combine both the "food chain and the chain of affairs."
This kind of union is precisely what sentient beings cannot do without. If any part of it is missing, one cannot live securely in this earthly realm. For the world of humanity, in relation to the space of Earth, is merely a "passerby in time"—a reality that is profoundly inevitable!
It is precisely because the universe is eternal and enduring that when compared to the human world, the latter appears exceedingly brief—merely a "passing traveler in time and space." Thus, all food chains and chains of affairs within the human world must integrate with space and be capable of mutual connection, achieving harmonious completion.
Only then can one avoid the peril of survival, and moreover, it is essential to mutually eliminate the detrimental innate tendencies in the orientation of survival. Otherwise, how can one initiate the process of removing all one’s own harmful habits and tendencies? From the perspective of the human world, it is necessary to return to the original foundation, and it is within this time and space that one can achieve fulfillment.
How Should Humanity Transcend
Perfect Return—This is precisely the movement of descent and transformation from the Wuji. In contemporary religions, there exists no such framework or concept; it is only understood that after the "Universal Salvation and Completion of the Cycle," a discontinuity arises. Within the teachings of "Yiguan Tiandao and Buddhism," these two lineages are comparatively flourishing and advancing forward.
It can indeed be said: those who are capable of receiving and enacting the decrees bestowed by Heaven, achieving such accomplishments, are truly worthy of celebration and praise. Moreover, having traversed the teachings of Buddhism, in the construction of all frameworks, it is fitting that all sutras should align more closely with the spiritual practices aspired to by sentient beings in the present era.
Within the framework of the Yiguan Heavenly Way, the approach of "Three Teachings Sharing the Same Origin, Five Teachings Springing from the Same Source" is adopted. This integrates the five petals of a single flower, giving rise to the presence of the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji. These two sacred Buddhas transcend within the Yiguan Heavenly Way. After all destined connections undergo the process of "Universal Salvation and Completion," they will inevitably encounter bottlenecks that are difficult to surpass.
Now, through the process of complete return, to ensure a correct direction, the Wuji Heavenly Mother personally issued a sacred decree, bestowing upon the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall" the mission to compile the entire "Dadao Series Classics." This work is designed to complement and elucidate the shortcomings of all past classics in the human world, drawing parallels for mutual enrichment.
Return to the Fundamental Conditions
Return—it is essential to understand the true meaning of heaven and earth as it unfolds! For one who relies on a religious faith, if distinctions are made only within the human world—such as right and wrong, good and evil, correct and incorrect—it will inevitably affect one’s future accomplishments. Even if one’s merits are abundant, they will only take effect within the human realm, limited to achievements lasting a mere five hundred years!
This is precisely why there can be no greater vehicle for transcendence and elevation. Why then, under the current conditions of desiring to "revere the heart and honor the lineage" as a path of return, is this being revealed? It is because it was not proclaimed in the assembly of all immortals and buddhas in the past. Instead, it awaited the arrival of the appropriate time and karmic conditions. Only now, within this era, has it been made public, as a revelation bestowed upon "Revering the Heart" according to the conditions of karmic affinity.
It is precisely due to the elevation and transcendence of karma by Heaven that one must not only comprehend but also transcend all karmic connections related to the heavenly secrets of the Great Dao. Moreover, the immortals and buddhas of the celestial realms, within the spacetime of this cosmic cycle, descend to the Southern Continent to aid sentient beings, enabling them to achieve perfect transcendence and return, thereby attaining greater elevation.
The Function of Returning and Transcending
There are many affairs that must undergo numerous integrations, and some are carried out as tasks assigned by a particular lineage or spiritual center. These must pass through various assessments and examinations before such conditions can be met. This is because "return" must be realized in the present moment, yet none of the religious sects or lineages possess this information to disseminate.
It is precisely the conditions governed by "this cosmic cycle" that serve as the causal foundation, allowing one to understand how the workings of Heaven operate. It is only after achieving perfect completion and returning that one realizes it, yet one does not know where to return to, nor is there any specific destination. Thus, many sentient beings will say: in the end, all shall return to the "Wuji Li Tian" to serve and sweep the grounds.
If such a line of thought exists, it is indeed a rather naive notion. This is because in the Wuji Heavenly Realm of Principle, there is simply no worldly dust to begin with. If one were to sweep the floor, there would not even be the slightest opportunity to do so! If a multitude of beings were to return, would it merely be for the purpose of sweeping the floor? Certainly not! That is entirely unnecessary!
Return, Transcend, Ascend
It is essential to understand that only after achieving transcendence can one establish an enduring legacy for generations to come. However, within the vast expanse of the entire cosmos, there remain numerous dimensions of time and space where transcendence is possible. As for the present earthly realm, can all sentient beings truly return? In essence, this is but a minor influence.
If one wishes to traverse the vast cosmic space, different galactic realms remain unseen and untraceable. Only by contemplating the entirety of the great cosmic expanse can one grasp its boundless immensity. This is not a concept that humanity can fully comprehend in the present moment. It requires taking each step with determination, leaving a footprint at a time, in order to ascend, transcend, and ultimately achieve perfection and surpassing.
Only then can one truly understand that all actions of the "Wuji" and its functions permeating the void and celestial realms are meant for the growth of all sentient beings in the world of emotions, to elevate and return to transcendence and perfection. Whether one can properly conduct oneself in the present moment? This becomes the foundation for future growth—an undeniable truth that must be diligently applied.
The Wuji decrees descend to the mortal realm;  
All sentient beings rejoice and cherish them.
Different levels and realms must be evidenced by growth.
Perfect return transcends arrival,  
The infinite void opens to the celestial realm.
The universe is vast and boundless,  
A grand new order for humanity is arranged.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, and also as mutual fulfillment in the achievement of the Lotus Pure Land in the twenty-first century; I hope for it! I hope for it! Tonight, I have troubled everyone, disturbing you for a while, before returning to the Limitless Heavenly Principle.
##Homage to Our Original Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha
Boundless, selfless, and without limit,  
The Central Altar Marshal ascends to aid and uplift.
The Dadao Series Exhibition Promotes and Expands
The Transcendence and Elevation of the Human World
All saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Niangniang of Jiutian Xuannü descended before the Wuji carriage to compose "The Great Dao Without Extremes: Chapter Twenty-Two – Perfect Return," elucidating a greater role of the Heavenly Realm. This allows us to understand that, within the operation of the Great Dao, it offers transcendent growth.
If sentient beings wish to return to the "Wuji Heavenly Realm of Principle," what must they do? Sweep the floor? Brew tea? Offer service? None of these are needed! The attainment of this achievement is gained by oneself, which is what has been passed down through countless generations. It is not like human thinking, which is confined to the human world. What, then, must one do to return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm of Principle?
Sweeping the floor, brewing tea, and serving—none of these require one to lift a finger. Simply by shifting a single thought or perspective, one can obtain all that is needed. There is no need to sweep, brew tea, or serve personally—none at all! If this cannot be applied in the realm of heavenly principles, a moment of reflection will bring a knowing smile. My heartfelt gratitude to all for this meaningful encounter, and I look forward to meeting again!
## Western Way-Investigation Bodhisattva
The Wuji Decree descends upon the mortal realm,  
Before the carriage, serving the Mother with true virtue and sincerity.
Xu Feiqiong descended bearing celestial scriptures;  
The immortal maiden's virtue nurtured all living beings.
The Wuji Decree is promulgated to the mortal realm.
All temples and halls in the human world, especially those within the Taoist system, eagerly anticipate the issuance of an edict from the Wuji (the Ultimate Void) to serve as the foundation for all future sacred affairs. Under these circumstances, it is essential to understand why it is necessary for the Wuji to issue such an edict for its dissemination. Only then can the sentient beings of humanity be provided with the causes and conditions for their elevation!
Will it have a greater uplifting effect? After receiving the decree, all actions will reveal whether one is achieving transcendent growth or merely following the general will of the Heavenly Mandate to aid the world. This will become clear after the decree is received. Whether such a vow can be sustained over the long term will determine the foundation for future accomplishments.
Wuji—it is the cause and opportunity for further elevation and transcendence beyond Haotian. Moreover, regarding what Wuji has achieved in relation to Haotian, one cannot speak of hierarchical distinctions or gradations of levels. As for the bottlenecks encountered by ordinary sentient beings, how can they be resolved through the true principles? It can further aid in solving all troubling issues.
Comparing the Limitless and the Vast Heaven
It can be said: the Heaven of the Vast Sky has its own conditions, and the Supreme Ultimate has its own conditions. In the process of sentient beings making inquiries, the distinctions between the two can be compared, allowing one to understand which conditions apply. When sentient beings come to inquire, there is a mutual comparative function, and all can be clearly differentiated in detail.
What distinguishes the levels and realms of influence between temples and monasteries guided by immortals and Buddhas, and those directed by human beings? If we consider the level of the Wuji (the Ultimate Void), it should possess a higher level and more elevated spiritual teachings compared to temples that receive decrees from the ordinary Heavenly Court.
In the current era, such circumstances have largely devolved into the common practices of charitable temples, making it exceedingly difficult to transcend and manifest the "true principles of heaven and earth." Conditions of this kind are now ubiquitous. Moreover, can all acts of salvation and transformation achieve greater elevation? Or will they merely remain indistinguishable from those of ordinary charitable temples?
All primordial spirits are born from the Wuji.
When one can discern the level, conditions, and state of being that manifest after the descent of immortals and buddhas, then all becomes clear! Moreover, in the Wuji—the very source from which all primordial spirits descend—everything is uniformly planned and overseen by the Wuji. This is among the responsibilities of the Supreme Sovereign of Wuji, the Celestial Mother.
It is about guiding sentient beings and primordial souls to "return" and grow. This descending action is facilitated by the Wuji, with the Wuji taking the lead. It is essential to understand: how can the adverse influences of human temperament be transformed? One must undergo the experiences of the human world, through transformation and refinement, to then cleanse one's eighth consciousness.
Under such conditions, if one fails to carry out purification within the human world, regardless of how profound their achievements or how deep their virtues may be, it will merely become a seed cause for reincarnation in the next life. Conversely, through the process of self-purification, even an ordinary human being can grow and elevate themselves.
One must undergo the process of religious refinement to attain achievement. It is fundamentally impossible for every sentient being to engage in such actions for purification! It is merely a matter of the goals one chooses—whether one can ascend upward or merely remain at the level of ordinary charitable temples—this can be understood by one's present actions.
The decree must be promulgated to ensure understanding at all levels.
Imperial Decree - It is a religion of compassion, especially for the current Taoist practitioners, who all favor the decrees or Taoist edicts bestowed by Heaven. This clarifies: whether one can attain the level and realm of an "Imperial Decree" or "Taoist Edict"! If one cannot seize this opportunity, in the future, it will be impossible to fully comprehend what one has been entrusted with.
When the "Edict of the Heavenly Mother" or the "Edict of the Dao" is proclaimed, it operates without distinctions of hierarchy or realm. At that moment, all future actions become clear and foreseeable. Precisely because of this condition, one must undergo numerous trials and tribulations to bear witness. It also serves to observe the qualifications of those in charge and the conditions for the salvation and transformation by the immortals and buddhas.
Only then can the human world truly carry out the actions decreed by the "Wuji Yi Zhi," the "Sanqing Dao Zhi," and the "Haotian Yu Zhi." Regardless of which decree—be it the "Wuji Yi Zhi," the "Sanqing Dao Zhi," or the "Haotian Yu Zhi"—is issued, it will inevitably entail the same trials and tempering. This is to ascertain: once the decree has been proclaimed, can it be fulfilled?
Furthermore, regarding the levels and realms of immortals, Buddhas, and spirit mediums themselves, these can be understood through the mutual cooperation between immortals, Buddhas, and spirit mediums! What must be clarified is whether all the acts of salvation and transformation in the human world can be likened to educational and cultural endeavors, or are merely actions for sustenance within the food chain.
The multitude of sentient beings must be satiated.
Because the food chain is essentially the act of eating—there are significant distinctions that must be clarified: What kind of food can satisfy human hunger? In truth, one can be satisfied by eating any type of food; it merely depends on what is being consumed, under what conditions, and what the specific items are. These distinctions are indeed numerous and finely detailed!
Humans have an abundance of food to enjoy. A simple example: from the perspective of the Chongxin Sect lineage, everyone says that the three daily meals prepared by the beauty (the Chongxin Hall student and head of the general affairs team) are made with great care and are quite delicious. It can be said that her cooking methods are praised by all, and it is a true delight for everyone's palate.
If it is further said: Mei Luan (a student of Chongxin Hall – Deputy Dean of Wuji Daoyuan) employs yet another distinct level of cooking method, one can understand from all past Dharma assemblies of the Chongxin lineage that there exists a truly "licensed chef" whose cooking approach is again different, which further constitutes a great culinary blessing for all students of the Chongxin lineage.
The primary causes for the issuance of the imperial decree to transform and guide the people.
It is precisely because there are different levels and realms that this differs further from the chefs of ordinary restaurants or grand hotels. To put it in common terms: it is yet another way to satisfy one's hunger. If we were to express it in the words of the Master of Reason and Brush, "No delicacies from land or sea can compare to a single packet of instant noodles," we might say: the act of satisfying hunger varies! Tastes differ, and all levels and realms are distinct as well.
Therefore, in comparison: the transformation decreed by the imperial edict—this is precisely where education and culture differ. If we speak in terms of external palaces, temples, and monasteries, those possessing such conditions are numerous and widespread. It is merely that the methods of management employed by those in charge differ, and further, in terms of the conditions produced and the levels of spiritual attainment, while they may appear similar on the surface, in essence, they are fundamentally different!
If we consider education and culture in the contemporary era, the levels and realms of graduate education, university education, high school education, junior high school education, elementary school education, and kindergarten education are all different. Yet it can be said that they all belong to education and culture. It can be observed that the differences in levels and realms precisely reflect the distinctions among various tiers and spheres.
The various levels of Wuji
It can be understood that the sacred decrees issued by the "Wuji" (the Ultimate Void) for descending and transforming must differ from the growth of ordinary worldly temples and halls. By allowing everyone to comprehend this, distinctions in different levels and realms can be realized. This is precisely because the difference between "Wuji and Haotian" (the Ultimate Void and the Vast Heaven) represents yet another distinction in levels and realms.
When the times change and the Dharma changes accordingly, how should one adapt to such conditions? It requires that sentient beings, immortals, and buddhas, along with their own spirit mediums, channels, and messengers, mutually verify the teachings bestowed by Heaven. One must elevate their own level and spiritual state, rather than clinging solely to the ritualistic methods of the past, lest they be rendered obsolete in the future.
In the present era, there has already been significant progress forward, and it is necessary to reform this ancient method of guidance. Otherwise, when those of higher spiritual levels come to inquire, would it not immediately reveal to the outside world the vulgarity of lower spiritual levels? Moreover, would there be another opportunity for them to return and inquire again? Surely not!
The Limitless Decree issues a guiding proclamation,  
The Sacred Edict descends to transform the mortal world.
Different levels of spiritual attainment,  
All aspire for sentient beings to ascend.
Only by examining the structure of returning movements can one comprehend how numerous they truly are.
Unable to unify all in one,  
Toiling with partial views as the whole.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. Within the content of today’s writings, it is hoped that one may come to understand: this is a rare opportunity, seldom bestowed across the ages, allowing everyone to realize that in the human world, the religious practice of "ritual correction" must be strengthened! Otherwise, it will be phased out in the time to come. May you deeply contemplate its original intent. Thank you all for your efforts and patience during this time. Now, I return to the Heavenly Realm of Ultimate Principle.
##Prophet Muhammad, Founder of Islam
The Void, the Boundless, unfolds its narrative;  
The voice of Guanyin brings benefit to all.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet the virtuous student,  
Together they converse of daily life and the accumulation of good virtue.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the immortal Xu Feiqiong descended before the Wuji carriage to compose the foundation of "The Great Dao of Wuji: Chapter Twenty-Three – The Sacred Decree of Wuji." This work provides a clear and explicit interpretation of the original meaning of the decree issued by Wuji, offering humanity the opportunity for virtuous growth.
Let all sentient beings in temples, halls, and among immortals, Buddhas, and spirit mediums understand clearly: When decrees are issued from the Wuji (Ultimate Void) to descend and transform, what conditions and tasks must be fulfilled? It is essential to achieve clear verification and growth after the descent and transformation—only then can it be deemed correct! Otherwise, the myriad sentient beings in the world of emotions all delight in receiving edicts from the "Wuji," yet they fail to comprehend the purpose behind these decrees. If one is currently within the Chongxin lineage, what should be done? It is crucial to recognize the differences in levels, realms, and teachings, and to hope that all may truly achieve growth!
If there are no other matters, today coincides with the fireworks display for the National Day of Taiwan in Taoyuan, and it is already quite lively outside! Thank you for your hard work; I will stop writing here. We shall meet again tomorrow for "Zen Insights to Dispel Delusions"!
## Bodhisattva Xifang Daozhan
The Supreme Dao unfolds its virtuous grace,  
Dong grasps the wondrous principle, achieving dual perfection.
The Immortal Maiden descends to inscribe the celestial scriptures,  
From nothingness emerges the fundamental attainment.
Humans are a species that emerges from nothingness.
The Supreme Ultimate issues decrees to bestow grace and virtue upon the world, which is cultivated through human society. Each religion may receive the sacred decrees of the Supreme Ultimate to disseminate its teachings. From the perspective of humanity, this constitutes a course of karmic attainment. It is essential to understand that the issuance and dissemination of decrees by the Supreme Ultimate must align with its level and realm of existence.
Regarding the religions of the sentient world, all can be considered as paths to attainment. Whether greater gains can be achieved depends on whether one, through all that has been learned and cultivated, can comprehend the true meaning of Heaven and transcend it. In the vast cosmos, the elevation of levels and realms also requires the sublime qualities of the Wuji state and its corresponding levels.
Within the void—there has long existed the inherent cause of conditions, the root of karma. To attain the conditions and karma that transcend all human realms, one can rely on the function of learning and growth. Through this, one may understand whether greater gains can be achieved in the human world. It can also be said: the necessity for human survival lies precisely in learning to transcend within the human realm.
From nothingness, all foundations arise.
At the stage of survival, growth is achieved through the accumulation of learning and experience, precisely by maturing within "nothingness" and reaping gains from the human world. However, one often cannot attain conditions as desired. Yet, within nothingness lies the potential for causes, providing the basis for all future achievements. And because of the existence within nothingness, what then lies ahead in the future?
True existence becomes prominent and grows within nothingness, precisely because all growth of "being from non-being" can be attained through one's own efforts, and is also facilitated by the accumulated "latent causes" that contribute to "the harvest of being from non-being." Yet, all sentient beings are unable to comprehend that "the containment within non-being" is the accumulation of future harvests.
Whether in the human world or the realm of species, anything to be attained within the Earth's star system must follow this principle! To achieve gains through learning and to understand how the accumulated harvest from latent causes comes about—how, then, can one reach the fruition of "latent causes" that shape destiny? The necessity of relying on survival is precisely what forms the foundation for nurturing life.
"Existence in life" entails a capacity to comprehend the process of evolution bestowed by the heavens through the dissemination of virtue and grace—a process fundamentally beyond the grasp of the human world. For the myriad beings of the vast cosmos, growth through the human realm is exceedingly difficult to understand. This is because what is accumulated in "existence in life" must first undergo the presence of "latent causes."
How to Enhance Beneficial Genes
Only through "emergence of being from non-being" can fulfillment be achieved. In all future causes and conditions, it is necessary to pass through the four actions of "cause, condition, harmony, and union" to transmit such conditions downward. Moreover, within the human world, to truly attain anything, one must understand how the condition of "contained causes" exists.
It is precisely because of the four actions of "cause, condition, harmony, and union" that existence can arise from nothingness, enabling a true and thorough manifestation of being within the human world. Only through the convergence of causes and conditions in future time and space can this be realized—for the myriad living beings of the vast cosmos, or for all sentient beings in the world of species.
This is precisely the cause and condition for the downward transformation that leads to accomplishment, which absolutely cannot be separated from the process of downward transformation accumulated through "inherent causes." In "the existence of life," there is what humanity refers to as DNA, which, as verified by technological civilization, is facilitated by RNA. Moreover, RNA itself elevates the inherent qualities of DNA to a higher level of cause and condition.
The fundamental nature of humanity in the sentient world, as well as the process of its manifestation through descent, must be verified by advanced technology. This is facilitated by such causes and conditions, and the necessity for survival has long been rooted in the accumulation of all latent causes that descend into manifestation. All sentient beings will validate this through the world of actual phenomena, which is an undeniable truth.
Essential Knowledge for Human Genetic Enhancement
However, it fails to comprehend the causes and conditions that exist within the entire cosmos, the void, and the infinite. This is not merely an attestation of boundless emptiness; rather, it is a process of transformation accumulated through genuine underlying causes. If one merely fixates on such conditions, it becomes impossible to attain accomplishment in the human world. Even with the desire to elevate oneself, what can one do?
Fundamentally, human beings are entirely unable to comprehend that the human world exists precisely within the process of imparting educational and cultural curricula. Every phenomenon has its origin and causes, each with stages of learning and growth. Through educational and cultural curricula, one can approach the true nature of reality, which is inherently necessary for the emergence and development of life.
It is precisely through the inheritance from one generation to the next and the accumulation across lifetimes that all DNA in the human world is elevated. With the essential causal qualities of superior RNA, it can attach to the human world, enabling greater harvest and growth. However, such conditions are scarcely perceived by humanity today, yet they will undoubtedly be verified in the future!
The Wuji issues decrees to guide the transformation below,  
All karmic ties in the human realm are elevated and refined.
To understand the existence of inherent causes, one must thoroughly comprehend the teachings.
The accumulation from learning and growth  
is a benefit of experience and knowledge.
Human connections have long been in place;  
Alas, their fundamental roots are hard to trace.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: it is precisely within the curriculum of descending transformation that one can grow through "creating something out of nothing" to attain the "wondrous existence in true emptiness." How can we comprehend the eternity of heaven and earth, as well as the transience of the human world? It is precisely due to the karma of "false emptiness within truth" and "reality preserved within illusion."
Only then can one speak of the conditions under which all necessities for survival arise, which necessarily entail the integration of both the "food chain and the chain of affairs." If, through the growth and learning process of humanity, one achieves a true ascent beyond the "illusory truths of the void" and comes to understand this, it is hoped that one can appreciate the essence within the writings, which is to comprehend all mysteries thoroughly.
The distinction between "being from non-being" and "being from generation":
I. The Existence of Non-Existence: That is, the "latent cause" resides within the causal substance, appearing as if it does not exist, yet it is precisely what may come to be in the future.
II. The Existence of Life: Once existence is present, it can be examined through the DNA of survival—what, then, is the nature of its causal substance?
## The Great Sage and Foremost Teacher, Confucius
Few tread the paths of the Western world,  
Yet its sutras spread grace to all beings.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to embrace all beings;  
The Great Way is boundless, the Primordial Nature.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the immortal Dong Shuangcheng, from before the throne of Wuji, has descended to elucidate the original meaning of the work *The Great Dao Is Wuji: Chapter Twenty-Four – Creation from Nothingness*, unfolding the wondrous truth of creation from nothingness, so that all human beings may be endowed with wholesome and virtuous concepts.
It will also enable us to achieve greater gains in the process of advancing technological civilization, or at least to understand and clarify the obstacles that exist in the present moment. Because the world of sentient beings is inherently impermanent, through the ever-changing course of evolution, humanity has never been able to fully grasp these conditions with perfect precision.
If one cannot achieve a state of calm and stability in their own mindset, they will be unable to master themselves. To truly understand the human world, one must grasp the root of "arising thoughts and stirring intentions." Only then can a virtuous future grow, ultimately forming a beautiful and fulfilled outcome. Do you understand? Thank you all for your efforts. Tomorrow, we will meet again for "Zen Insights to Dispel Delusions."
##Western Scripture-Transmitting Bodhisattva
Namo, all beings sing praises,  
Revere the true teachings of our original teacher, Shakyamuni.
The Buddha came bearing the celestial scripture;  
True emptiness and wondrous existence reveal the original intent.
How does emptiness give rise to existence, and how does the wondrous existence emerge from the void?
From nothingness arises existence, observing sentient beings. In the human realm, it is precisely from "within nothingness" that being emerges, and through "within being" it can be attained. In the process of aligning with the orientation of survival, all the virtues of existence are bestowed upon the human world. For sentient beings in the human realm to observe, one must understand the mystery and functional benefits of "creating something out of nothing."
It is precisely through the fundamental functions accumulated by causes and conditions that one can achieve transcendence in every aspect, learning and growing through each process. This is because sentient beings in the human realm are unable to comprehend that their own existence, too, arises from "being born out of nothingness" as part of the whole.
On the contrary, all believe that the human world is precisely an actual existing world, unaware that it too is endowed with "existence from non-existence." This means there has long been a preparation of "latent causes." Thus, creation from nothing is precisely the preparation of "latent causes." It can be said that existence within non-existence inherently contains all causal qualities (genes) within.
Within causes lies the ultimate truth of human existence.
If there is no latent cause in existence, how can there be the realization of future existence? It is precisely in generating something from nothing that the process becomes unforeseeable, and thus unknowable. Given the existence of latent causes within nothingness, it is difficult to establish such a concept. It is essential to clarify: it is through generating something from nothing that one attains the state of "wondrous existence in absolute emptiness"!
This represents yet another level and realm, precisely emerging from the profound interplay of emptiness and wondrous existence. It shares similarities with the concept of "latent causes," yet how does wondrous existence manifest within emptiness? Throughout the evolution of heaven and earth, the human world fundamentally lacks the capacity to comprehend this. One can only recognize that one's own existence arises from "being born out of nothingness," merely understanding it as the wondrous existence within emptiness.
It can be observed: For the vacuum, it is a preparatory action of containment. Moreover, under the premise that everything will "contain its own intrinsic essence," it can be said of such a vacuum world: Whether in any space of heaven and earth within the world of Earth, or in the vast interstellar spaces of the universe, there exists the condition of the true essence of vacuum as the foundational substance.
Moreover, it is from the very void that the causal substance of all future conditions of existence is to be diffused downward. This constitutes the necessary conditions and concepts for the action of transmission and succession. The void—precisely because it contains causes—accumulates and stores their effects. Whether in the Wuji, in Haotian, or within Heaven and Earth, this principle remains the same!
True Emptiness and Wondrous Being contain and preserve all causal substances.
Furthermore, within the conditions of the great void and the vast cosmos itself, one may speak of the conditions of true emptiness. These conditions lie in its environment, which encompasses the accumulation and transmission of latent causes, as well as the fundamental nature that contains all things, serving as the basis for their manifestation. It is only when there exists the latent cause of true emptiness that one can say: within true emptiness, existence is present. Such a concept is exceedingly rare among humanity!
Moreover, regarding existence, it is often dismissed as non-existent simply because it cannot be seen in the present moment. Most sentient beings rely on what is visible to the eye as the sole criterion for truth! They fail to comprehend that within the accumulation of causes in the true emptiness, lies the potential for real space to exist in the future—a reality that cannot be perceived with the naked eye, let alone penetrated.
How can one develop a broad, directional way of thinking and perspective about oneself? All are confined by this world of form and appearance, making it difficult to comprehend the overall evolutionary process of the universe. Therefore, "wondrous existence" also encompasses the benevolent grace of the universe's downward transformation. Moreover, why do all external meteorites in the universe suddenly descend into Earth's space or the space of other galaxies?
The existence of the wondrous being is due to the interplay of causes and conditions, not merely confined to the space of Earth. In truth, the fundamental essence inherently possesses all the conditions for formation—a concept that humanity must come to understand. If celestial bodies push against each other in cosmic space, it can lead to a scenario of mutual collision, exposing all galaxies in the vast universe to the impact of external meteorites.
The inherent existence of the cause within the true emptiness and wondrous being.
It is possible that a certain type of meteorite, under the influence of karmic conditions in the future, could undergo the entire evolutionary process of true nature. Consequently, in relation to meteorites from beyond the great cosmos, they may transform into the essential substance of future Earth or other galactic species, existing within that galaxy. This highlights the unique energy of such meteorites, which differs from that of the planetary body itself.
True Emptiness and Marvelous Existence—refers to the scenario where an external galaxy forms a collision, resulting in meteorites falling onto the Earth's galaxy or other galaxies. These meteorites contain the original "causal existence" of their celestial bodies, including future technologies. Such conditions are destined to elevate the causal foundations of the Earth's galaxy or other galaxies.
Why is it that the magnetic fields generated by numerous meteorites from external galaxies can bring about greater enhancement and transcendence for Earth's galaxy or other galaxies? Precisely because, within such conditions and circumstances, if they persist in this spacetime environment, there will inevitably be mutual intersection and balancing effects.
Being and Non-being
This extraterrestrial galactic technological civilization provides Earth and other galaxies with a greater impetus for advancement. As revealed by the Dao, this is not merely a matter of survival orientation within the human realm. It requires millions of years to attain the energetic form of airflow magnetic field motion, enabling elevation and growth.
"The existence of life" must be realized within "the existence of non-being," and through the environmental space of "wonderful existence from true emptiness" that encompasses all conditions for the transformation of "existence containing causes," all galaxies, without exception, are thus formed. They arise from a condition capable of fostering growth, enabling the Earth's galaxy or other galaxies to benefit from it.
Conversely, one may suffer harm before reaping any benefits. This is a dual-sided action, clarifying that the spatiotemporal environment of "true emptiness and wondrous existence" can create all future causal spaces; regardless of any spatiotemporal environment, this remains true. It is hoped that one can understand how what exists through "true emptiness and wondrous existence" truly operates!
Wuji unfolds into myriad celestial bodies,  
Creating existence from void, as if seeking something more.
True Emptiness and Marvelous Existence contain the cause;  
Future time and space can bring it to fruition.
Sentient beings, with vision shallow and confined,
Believe only what is visible, as truth defined.
The causes hidden in obscurity, once accumulated,  
Will yield even more abundant fruits in the future.
This verse! Through bidirectional contemplation and construction with all sentient beings, it allows everyone to easily understand that the unfolding of the Great Dao is precisely facilitated by Wuji, and is also a cause for downward transformation. This must be clearly grasped in the present moment! Otherwise, how could there have been the construction of previous thoughts and concepts? I earnestly hope for this! Taking a moment to reminisce, how joyful it is for old friends to reunite!
##Founder of Christianity, Jehovah
Westward, the establishment honors the heart's arrival;  
Through Dao's study, calamities and misfortunes are dispelled and dissolved.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to perform purification,  
The noble heart's karma is rearranged anew.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the founder of Buddhism, Namo Original Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, has descended to compose the concepts of "The Great Tao Is Wuji: Chapter Twenty-Five—The Wonder of True Emptiness," linking the creation of something from nothing, allowing everyone to build upon previously established thoughts and concepts to elevate and transcend!
Moreover, among sentient beings, there are those who, when faced with scriptures, fail to free themselves from the constraints of the texts and instead become bound by them. This occurs precisely because scriptures themselves do not bind people; it is people who allow themselves to be bound by the scriptures. This is a common delusion that spiritual practitioners are most prone to fall into. It is hoped that one can carefully reflect on how, in different eras, the growth of thought and perspective can be nurtured, for only then can one align with the truth!
##Western Manjusri Bodhisattva
The teachings of Islam are inherently profound and enduring,  
Muhammad bestows the sustenance of faith.
The Great Dao, without limit, manifests its unfolding;  
Within existence, it grows into the likeness of heaven and earth.
From nothingness, being emerges; from being, growth unfolds.
"Creating something out of nothing" can be used to contemplate sentient beings. In terms of the requirements for their own survival orientation, they truly possess the necessary conditions. These should be pursued with authenticity, allowing themselves to understand the nature of their survival orientation. This understanding arises from their own efforts to achieve the standards they desire for survival, forming the foundational cause for upward striving.
The growth of each individual is shaped by their respective needs and conditions. As for sentient beings, the question arises: can the preconceived notions they hold regarding the demand for "creation from nothing" lead to the elevation of "growth from existence"? This fundamental requirement is ultimately fulfilled within the human world, which inherently possesses the genuine foundation for survival that is essential for the orientation of existence.
It is both authentic and fitting to the world of reality, enabling one to fulfill every process needed for oneself. This means that through the needs one desires, growth and realization can be achieved. It pertains to what is contained within "the wondrous existence in absolute emptiness," precisely meeting the requirements accumulated through all underlying causes. This is nurtured by an already existing concept and prepares for what is demanded.
Such is the way of human action.
There is a form of differential treatment that arises from one's own sexual orientation, which develops from the conditions one desires and also from the demands placed on everything. Whether these can be achieved depends on oneself, and can be realized through one's orientation toward survival. It is a progression from "emptiness" to "wondrous existence," emerging from the causes inherent within causal substance (genes).
The requirement for comprehensive understanding of the Dao as it manifests is precisely such that it can be fulfilled by the existence of "marvelous being" within "true emptiness." This enables the continuation and transmission of virtuous grace downward. It is essential to first establish the concept of a "cosmic creative cause," which can descend into the planetary systems of Earth to carry out this transmission.
Sentient beings: This true emptiness can be contained within the "latent cause," that is, the accumulation of "genes," which can lead to a potential for growth in the future. This is a very truthful passage through the four stages of "cause, condition, harmony, and union," only then can the process of growth be achieved.
Being is that which encompasses all that is to come.
"Having a center" signifies that which already exists. From this state of existence, and in relation to all human beings existing within heaven and earth, there arises a continuous action. Moreover, as it already exists within the spatial realm of Earth and will not detach from the future, it possesses the genuine nature of continuity. This constitutes the condition for the sustenance and flourishing of human beings.
The process of cosmic evolution, much like that of the Earth and galaxies, operates under such conditions that all latent causes are embedded within the primordial essence of all beings. This cannot be clearly observed by the naked human eye, as it resides precisely in the state of "existence within non-existence," where what is present holds the potential to fulfill the causes that will manifest in future existence.
It is precisely the existence of "creation out of nothing" itself, which descends and transforms into the cumulative growth of all future possibilities. All sentient beings in the human realm, regardless of kind, are born in this way—directly nurtured through the "interaction of light," whereby such conditions, through the illumination of both the sun and the moon, allow causes and conditions to converge.
That which exists within existence matures into certainty.
The convergence of yin and yang is achieved through the human world. The reason for the existence of mutual interactions and affinities lies precisely in the combined illumination of the sun and moon, which brings yin and yang into union. This allows affinities to permeate and foster growth. All sentient beings, under such conditions, undergo the processes of cause, condition, harmony, and union, thereby growing and surviving within the human world.
Growth—it necessarily involves the photochemical processes of the sun and moon celestial bodies upon the earth or other planets. Within the Earth's star system, there exists a "solar illumination" effect (yang) and a "lunar yin convergence" effect. Such conditions are not present in other star systems, where this particular causal connection does not exist.
Yin and Yang illuminate all! Under such circumstances, it gives rise to the fact that all things in existence rely on the photosynthesis of the sun, moon, and stars, enabling Yin and Yang to merge and complement each other. It is precisely through this photosynthesis of the sun, moon, and stars that growth is achieved. Moreover, in this process, there is both the capacity for activity and a vigorous cycle of motion. Should there not also be conditions for stillness?
Within existence lies the function of growth.
It can undergo photosynthesis through the solar cycle, yet without the complementary yin harmony of the lunar cycle, it would be difficult to achieve rest. This has persisted for billions of years. For the Earth's star system, it is only after undergoing the causal interactions evolved through the "Third Epochal Kalpa" that such a function of photosynthesis has emerged, and it is through this causality that growth is attained.
Growth within Existence—It is through the solar and lunar systems' processes of light synthesis and shadow synthesis that the functions of this framework are realized, enabling the myriad beings of the Earth's planetary system to thrive. As for why all living things within the Earth's planetary system are subject to the limiting conditions of yin and yang, this is precisely the case. If we speak of other planets, such conditions do not exist there.
Only celestial bodies such as the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto emit light (yang) and engage in both yang and yin unions. However, what exists is merely "photosynthesis"; there is fundamentally no "yin union," meaning growth unaffected by yin conditions. Most planets only possess "solar photosynthesis" at most!
The cosmos itself undergoes photosynthesis.
However, under such conditions, if they rely solely on the photosynthesis of the sun, the other side of the planet would inevitably be deprived of this sunlight during its rotation and revolution. This highlights the inability to generate energy and light autonomously, resulting in a lack of self-illumination. Consequently, it becomes exceedingly difficult for such a celestial body to possess the conditions for solar photosynthesis within its star system.
However, there are those who can achieve self-emission of light from their own celestial bodies, using their own energy to expand. Within each individual star system itself, they are no longer confined by the light of the sun. Thus, they can move farther away from the solar galaxy. This is how it is! With the ability to radiate their own luminous energy, they are no longer dependent on the illumination of the sun.
It is inherently not confined by the energy of the sun, having long transcended the constraints imposed by solar influence. While most beings are limited by the illumination of the sun, it relies on photosynthesis not as a dependency, but as a means to channel its own intrinsic energy, generating a gravitational force. This gives rise to an existence distinct from the emotional human world on Earth, allowing it to grow and evolve among the various star systems.
The advancement of all human technological civilizations
This is a result of the combined action of solar and lunar (yang) and yin forces, which confine this type of energy solely within the Earth's star system, making it fundamentally impossible to escape the celestial sphere of the Earth's star system. Why then, in the current state of human technology, must all processes of civilization inevitably be constrained by the limitations imposed by Earth's energy?
If one wishes to transcend the limitations of Earth's energy, a light and ethereal energy body is essential. As the ancient saying goes, "The clear ascends to become heaven, the turbid descends to become earth," which precisely illustrates the distinction between the energies of the yang pole and the yin pole. Moreover, such conditions cannot be separated from the human world, fundamentally remaining bound by the constraints of the cycle of rebirth within the three realms.
Why does Heaven desire that sentient beings be able to channel the smooth and light energy of the utmost yang, granting themselves the karmic conditions for upward ascension? If instead they sink into turbid yin and fall earthward, then even across countless lifetimes, they will remain merely beings of the Earth's star system! Utterly unable to transcend the constraints of the Three Realms—such is the sorrow of sentient beings. Tell me, is this not so?
From nothingness arises the root cause; from existence grows the continuation.
The fundamental nature of humanity lies in its substance: the light ascends as the yang pole, pure and clear.
The turbid are deeply yin, hard to find return;  
All because each self has sunk into profound depths.
Light and darkness converge then part,  
Transcending growth, the cosmos circles back.
This verse! Let us study together with all sentient beings; the long-untold secret lies in the exposition of the work "The Limitless Great Dao," enabling future technology to achieve greater growth, which is precisely attained through the world of true reality, allowing one's future accomplishments to transcend with utmost authenticity. Today, old friends gather once again in this hall—without spending some time in such communion, true joy would indeed be rare!
##Venerable of the Void—Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, the Virtuous One of Humans and Devas
The Western World, the Land of Ultimate Bliss,  
The Path unfolds and grows from the individual self.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet the faithful,  
Grateful for the sacred descent of the Prophet.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Prophet Muhammad, founder of Islam, has descended to compose the chapter "Growth Within Existence" in the twenty-fifth installment of *The Great Dao Without Limits*. This work unveils secrets never transmitted through the ages and imparts wisdom unrecorded in all classical scriptures, now bestowed within this celestial text.
This is an opportunity for self-reflection, to elevate and reshape one's mindset. If one fails to comprehend the compassionate grace of the immortals and buddhas, and thus cannot achieve greater transcendence, then it should not devolve into a situation where the immortals and buddhas speak their truths while we remain entrenched in our own ways. Such a mindset makes it exceedingly difficult to attain genuine growth and elevation.
Moreover, why must immortals and Buddhas travel thousands of miles to descend upon the Chongxin lineage, laboring to compose texts? Reflect upon this, and it becomes clear. The teachings imparted by the Prophet of Islam, along with the immortals and Buddhas, are offered with profound dedication, hoping that all may cultivate goodness, grow, and transcend! They grant us the opportunity to ascend and elevate ourselves. Today, old friends gather in lively reunion, and I too shall join in to add to the merriment. Farewell for now, everyone!
## Western Splendor Bodhisattva
For two millennia, Confucianism has spread,  
The teachings of the Supreme Sage grace all without bounds.
Confucius Descends to the Heart's Altar  
A Treatise on the True, the False, and the Profound Mystery of Emptiness
Within the truth, continuity is essential.
From the perspective of creation out of nothingness, growth occurs within existence. Thus, it can be said: entering the fundamental cause and condition of "truth within false emptiness," and clarifying the environment in which the human world survives, one can understand that all educational cultures of the world's religions serve as conditions for ascension and transcendence. This necessitates the implementation of a guiding principle of the "Middle Way."
This principle applies across all religions, involving the dissemination of educational and cultural curricula within religious frameworks. Moreover, in determining the direction of human existence in this world, it is essential to clearly recognize the process of distinguishing between "the real and the illusory." The key lies in how to strike a balance without leaning toward either extreme—this is what constitutes authenticity. Only then can one break free from the bewildering obstacles that are otherwise difficult to comprehend.
In truth: it is within an authentic process, where one comes to understand the existence of true causes accumulated and perpetuated, and further possesses a concept of the Middle Way thinking. It is essential to have a world of true reality facing one's future, capable of existing genuinely rather than falsely—that is, the world of sentient beings as it exists, a mode of thought and concept that human beings ought to possess.
From nothingness, existence arises—this is the eternal principle.
Do not liken this causal process to a "false or illusory" world, nor can one grant oneself the notion that present actions must bear responsibility for the future. Moreover, regarding all necessities of existence, one must not depart from the cultivation of goodness inherent in the human way of life.
Consider the human world: is it merely a realm of "emptiness and illusion"? Certainly not! There exists a foundation that can be established for the future—a guiding principle for one's path in life or the achievements one aspires to attain. This foundation does not bypass the entire process of human existence and accomplishment; rather, it is an essential condition for humanity, enabling progress and transcendence.
Thus it can be said: Does the present exist in emptiness and illusion? Or is it false? Not so! It is precisely a true and genuine actual process. In the achievements that depend on the future, this process is indispensable—indeed, it is most authentic and fitting. It serves as the foundation for one's own accomplishments, rather than leaping into the void of "falseness and illusion"!
All phenomena in life are the true reality of existence.
Truth: It is the process of all genuine experiences, real and not false. Why can sentient beings rely on themselves to achieve their future, rather than being unable to grow through the accumulation of their own experiences? It can be said: this is precisely what provides a solid foundation for one's own growth, something that human beings must understand!
It is through the genuine process of personal experience that one can achieve greater gains and accomplishments, which is the accumulation of authentic and unfeigned experiences! This holds true in the human world, in the vast world, and even in the celestial realms of the universe. There exists a genuine accumulation of experiences, yet once it passes, everything returns to the existence of "emptiness."
This kind has already passed, and is once again validated by emptiness, thus it is said: it is merely all processes! Through the accumulation of experience, for every sentient being, none can escape this kind of attainment. Can one truly realize the concepts constructed by this? What forms the necessity for human survival lies precisely in this process of true reality!
False emptiness is what exists in the future.
False Emptiness: The existence of what is known arises from the accumulation of experience, which is then refined through the process of re-experiencing. This is the manifestation of future wisdom, which inevitably encounters events that allow one to be truly "equipped when needed." It can be said that a significant function emerges, growing from the accumulation of prior experiences.
Now, only when one can "possess what is needed when it is used" upon encountering matters, and not detach from the true aspects of human existence, can one accumulate such experiences to internalize them into one's wisdom. This enables genuine growth and the necessary achievements for one's future, which, for the future of humanity, are but "illusory" existences.
This process of "falseness" is precisely the inevitable progression of the future, and it is said: it is the "falseness" that brings about fulfillment! It can also be thoroughly understood as merely the continuation and reappearance of experience. Not only does this allow one to accumulate through "falseness," thereby advancing oneself toward greater achievements and the fundamental causes and conditions, but it can also serve as the driving force for future elevation.
The existence of emptiness, emptiness has already passed.
The existence of emptiness lies precisely in the fact that emptiness speaks of emptiness, yet why can emptiness also speak of existence? It is because of "emptiness" that we can speak of "the existence of being." True emptiness also contains emptiness, akin to what the *Heart Sutra* describes: the wondrous existence of emptiness, which neither increases nor decreases, is the very existence of being. This emptiness can be described as the process through which the Great Dao manifests, embodying absolute authenticity!
And it is not false! Indeed, it is beyond words: illusory, yet an existence within emptiness—how can it be said not to exist? How then can one claim it does not exist? It has already passed, yet if it exists as a latent cause, it cannot be said to be non-existent. That is to say, it can exist in the future. Such existence is precisely the accumulation of latent causes!
Rather than being an illusion of the past, this is a very truthful way for sentient beings to understand what can be called the "illusion of emptiness." It is precisely the process of personally experiencing all phenomena, not something that has already become boundless emptiness. This is indeed not very truthful. If one can thoroughly comprehend the four actions of "truth within false emptiness," one may come to know it truthfully.
Moreover, one can attain a clear and experiential understanding of one's own future, thereby transcending the three lower realms and six paths of rebirth, rather than being confined by the limitations of the three realms. This is to enter into the contemplation of the Middle Way with utmost truthfulness, offering all that is essential for the human world. One can realize that all processes of heaven and earth exist merely through the interplay of truth, illusion, and emptiness. Can this be comprehended? Reflect upon it deeply!
Within it is the continuum that the moistened body receives.
This is constructed by all religions of humanity. If one only speaks of "truth, falsity, and emptiness" without addressing the continuity of the "Middle Way," then one cannot thoroughly and clearly comprehend the teachings of all religions in the world and among humanity. Instead, it leaves sentient beings unable to understand. In learning the teachings of religion, it is essential to proceed step by step, solidifying one's footing at each stage.
If one merely clings to the concepts of "truth, falsity, and emptiness" without addressing the continuity of the "Middle Way," it leads to bias toward extremes, which is not in accordance with reality. Consequently, one cannot transcend the limitations of the three realms and six paths of reincarnation. It is essential to understand: How can one embody the "Confucian Doctrine of the Mean"? By earnestly embracing this religious and philosophical perspective, one can benefit endlessly!
It further transcends the limitations of the three realms of space, serving the greater benefit within the grand framework of religion, and embodies the educational teachings presented in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This is not an achievement that can be realized overnight; it must bring forth profound and virtuous benefits, particularly for the humanities and sciences of humanity, from which immense gains can be derived.
All continuations must follow the Middle Way.
It is necessary to undergo seven years of studying the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" before such conceptual messages can be fully comprehended by you. It is hoped that through a thorough understanding of the 'Dadao Series Celestial Texts,' one can avoid being confined by religion and its scriptures within their own religious faith, thereby attaining a state of genuine authenticity.
True within false emptiness: It is precisely a very authentic state, enabling oneself to truly possess an energy body that emits light. This is entirely identical to the self-luminous celestial bodies of the universe. If one cannot attain an energy body capable of "self-luminescence," it becomes difficult to fully expand through "self-energy." This indeed involves a foundational concept of authenticity.
It can be said: The Great Way is compassionate, truly a great mercy of Heaven. It is certain that in the 21st century, under the profound grace of great virtue, all may achieve realization through firsthand materials. Moreover, there is the Venerable Master Li Bi of the Chongxin lineage, who personally experienced the profound grace of Heaven’s great virtue to accomplish this achievement. How fortunate! How truly fortunate!
The process of emptiness and wondrous being — growth in truth is the true realization.
True within false, emptiness in the great cause;  
Through embodied realization, experience becomes future fulfillment.
The body radiates its own luminous energy, abundant and full, akin to the cosmic pull of the stars.
A fine experience of growth in the human world,  
In the future, it will descend to transform countless kindred.
This verse! Together with all sentient beings, one may clearly discern whether one's own innate energy is sufficient to achieve luminous radiance, and thus be liberated from the three realms to transcend them. I earnestly hope for this! I earnestly hope for this! I have troubled you all today, taking up some of your time. It has also been a joy to meet old friends. Farewell for now!
## The Celestial Venerable of the Void, The Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance
The Great Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss,  
Where scriptures are transmitted and wondrous transformations arrange the truth.
Bodhisattvas, through karmic bonds, uplift the heart,  
Together gathering to bear all sentient beings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Confucian Master, the Great Sage of Supreme Perfection, Confucius, has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of *The Great Dao Without Extremes*, titled "The Illusion Within Truth and Emptiness." This work presents a complete and systematic integration of a very authentic line of thought—a conceptual understanding that one had long forgotten.
Moreover, it allows everyone not to spend their entire lives in poverty, enabling them to transcend themselves, rather than remaining deeply confined by the limitations and illusions of all scriptures. Sentient beings are indeed like this—they are bound by the constraints and delusions of scriptures and religions, and even cling to them tightly, believing that this can serve as a condition for returning to heaven in the future. Such thinking is far too naive!
Consider this: Do you still cling to the methods of early childhood education from the past, even in today's era? Can such an approach truly foster experiential growth? It is impossible! Reflect deeply and understand why it has taken until today, seven years later, to connect all these elements into a cohesive educational framework. It becomes clear that the educational culture bestowed by Heaven is built step by step, with each stage firmly established before the next begins!
It is fundamentally impossible to skip steps! In the accumulation of human survival experiences, one cannot claim to achieve great harvests all at once! Precisely because the construction of human thought and understanding fundamentally lags behind, this constitutes all the limitations and obstacles in the human world. Having toiled so hard, how do you now perceive the experience of quiet sitting?
In this opportunity to receive the teachings of the immortals and buddhas for the edification of all, reflect on whether you have made any progress. The recent examinations of our lineage must certainly be answered, and you must not flee at the last moment. Moreover, if you cannot even answer such simple questions, then when you ascend to the Heavenly Realm in the future, the examinations you will face will be far too numerous. Therefore, it is essential to strive diligently in the present moment!
Also addressing: how to transcend in the future? And how to elevate that transcendence? Perhaps it would be easier to adapt by descending once more into the mortal world to live! This is each person's own realization, each person's own attainment. Let us strive diligently! Strive diligently! Very well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##The Primordial Celestial King, Sovereign of the Cosmos, Limitless as the Void
The doctrine of Christianity is universal love,  
Spreading the truth for all beings to bear.
The Lord bestowed the celestial scriptures;  
Virtue and grace descended from the boundless heavenly realm.
The Sublime Exposition of the Wuji Celestial Realm
"The true within the false and the empty" in "growth within existence" is the function of the Wuji realm, enabling sentient beings to experience and understand how to navigate the process of their own survival and dependence. This also provides the causal foundation for the ascent and achievement of their own luminous energy bodies. This arises from the transcendence offered to sentient beings within the human world.
There exists a "self-luminous energy" as a foundation. However, sentient beings are unable to achieve self-luminescence within their own physical bodies precisely because they are constrained by the yin-yang photosynthesis of Earth's celestial system, which confines them to the terrestrial realm. Without the illumination of the sun, moon, and stars, such a state would be fundamentally impossible.
And there exists a solar-lunar synergy, which enables one to survive and grow within the Earth's star system. This precisely illustrates the guiding cause and condition for all star systems in the great cosmos to bestow virtue and grace downward, allowing the sentient celestial bodies of the universe to achieve balance among the various star systems. Thus, it prevents sentient star systems from colliding with one another.
Wuji gives rise to the myriad star systems of the cosmos.
Regardless of which galaxy within the vast cosmic starry realm, should they collide with one another, it would inevitably affect all other individual galaxies, causing harm to all living beings in existence. From the perspective of the Heavenly Providence, this is the most undesirable scenario to witness! Over tens of billions of years, the role of maintaining balanced orbits among all galaxies has been fulfilled.
It will not be destroyed by mutual collisions, nor will it allow the Earth's galaxy or other galaxies to bear the impact of collisions, which could send meteors hurtling toward other planets. This ensures that all living beings within the Earth's galaxy are protected and cared for by it, yet it also prevents them from fully understanding the entire evolutionary process of the universe.
Is it easy to understand clearly that, through the virtue and grace derived from the Great Dao, a true opportunity for elevation can be thoroughly comprehended and realized? Through such conditions, how can the space in which all living beings exist achieve mutual balance? This is precisely the fundamental grand trajectory that should be guided by the Supreme Heaven.
The Fundamental Framework of Wuji
This is the primordial ground from which all souls of myriad beings are nurtured and born. In this fundamental and original birthplace of all sentient souls, one can clearly understand: why must primordial souls descend from the Wuji? Furthermore, in the manifestation of all causal qualities by the Great Dao, it can be said: without the myriad beings, it would be impossible to comprehend all the transformations of future time and space!
Indeed! It is only a record of the evolutionary process of the Great Dao, yet there is no way to provide a detailed account of how the temporal and spatial environments evolved in each era. As for the myriad beings that come to inhabit any planet, it is precisely those living within that galaxy who can document how all evolutionary processes unfold.
What is recorded by civilization in each era and space? What memories are preserved? Precisely so! Through each era and space, human DNA can be projected into the future, which is the function of "causal reemergence." This occurs because all past DNA is projected and reproduced through this causal quality.
Regardless of the time and space in which one exists, there can only be one material substance of DNA at any given moment. This substance can be made visible through imaging, allowing this inherent quality to be presented before one's own eyes. It is, in fact, the manifestation of all past living DNA, much like how contemporary Earth's stellar technology can reproduce images with vivid realism.
The great cosmic celestial realm is the void of the infinite.
If the conditions of time and space cannot yet bring about realization, but through the changes and workings of time, such conditions may be attained in the future, then this existence manifests within the spacetime of what is to come. It is precisely due to the interplay of causes and conditions within the vast cosmic void that when we on Earth gaze up at the sky, we see only a blue expanse of stars.
If one were to depart from the Earth's galaxy, it would not be as it appears; rather, it is a vast vacuum-like spatial state. Through current technology, such as "satellites," projections can recreate this, allowing us to understand the vacuum of the entire cosmic interstellar expanse, which is precisely what the vast celestial realm reveals. Could such understanding be achieved solely within the human world? It is fundamentally impossible!
From the perspective of all educational and cultural aspects of religion, these are fundamentally concepts that cannot be fully comprehended. Even if one seeks to transcend and ascend beyond the three-dimensional space, it remains confined within the Earth's galaxy, unable to break free from the limitations of this three-dimensional realm. This is precisely the condition of sentient beings among humanity!
Thus, one cannot break free from the obstacles of samsara within the three realms. Yet, some still boast without shame, believing that mere religious faith alone can elevate them, as if it were only a matter of the balance of ascent and descent in the vast heavens. Regarding the conditions for human existence, it is essential to find inner peace and refrain from committing evil deeds.
Human beings are capable of preserving all virtuous deeds.
Human beings can: harbor good intentions, be good people, speak kind words, and perform virtuous deeds. In doing so, they can endure the trials and blessings bestowed by Heaven, thereby achieving greater merits in this lifetime. It is precisely after their passing that they may ascend to heaven or the Pure Land, attaining ultimate fulfillment. One must observe that among all sentient beings, it is the compassionate humans who strive to cultivate and enhance goodness.
Sentient beings often believe that by adhering to their own religion, they can transcend worldly limitations, while dismissing other faiths. Not only does this fail to achieve true transcendence, but it also violates the fair conditions and rights essential for spiritual ascension. Consequently, they may ultimately fall into hell, subjected to an unjust process of reward and punishment, and personally experience the realities of "heaven and hell."
Such conditions are commonplace among religious believers, and even more so among the general clergy of various faiths, most of whom are likely to fall into this pattern. Regardless of the religion—be it Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam—such obstacles of error frequently arise, leading to the creation of negative karma amidst good intentions. Can this be understood? It is exceedingly difficult!
The Great Cosmos of Heaven is uniquely sublime and transcendent.
It is essential to understand that for religious clergy, the practice of faith should be based on the principle of equality. One must affirm oneself while also appreciating others. Only by approaching the essence of other religious doctrines in this manner can it be considered correct. This is how, through the diverse religious beliefs held by all humanity, we can achieve the guidance of peace education.
This is precisely the work of the Supreme Deity over the past twenty-plus years, and throughout all the proceedings of the Supreme Deity's assemblies, such conditions have been instilled into all religions within the human world. The purpose is to ensure that people do not, due to their religious beliefs, reject the differing doctrines of other religions, thereby fostering significant exclusivity—which is highly inappropriate!
It is essential to affirm one's own beliefs, and even more important to appreciate and affirm the religious beliefs of others. This is the karmic entity guided by the "Wuji" (the Ultimate Nothingness), which defines the role played by the Chongxin lineage. As the "Pioneer Educator for World Peace," it carries out educational missions to uplift humanity, with the "Confucian Divine Teaching" elevating the "Confucian Sacred Teaching" to transcendence.
The Noble Mission and Task of Honoring the Heart
Thus, one can transcend beyond this, and in the present moment, it is merely the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang Sect Lineage." By steadfastly achieving merits that can be witnessed in the future, there is fundamentally no need to beseech the heavens to bestow the fruits of merit. It is precisely through relying on one's own accomplishments that one can align with the true principles of the evolution of heaven and earth, thereby finding refuge.
If the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect fails to act, even the heavens will be powerless. This pertains to the causes and conditions bestowed by Wuji, which, up to now, have fostered a gradual growth of such constructive thinking across all religions throughout the world. In the future, it is certain that a comprehensive integration of religions will take place, ultimately forming a unified religious world of the Five Teachings—the Pure Land World of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom!
This is the pure land world of the void and the treasure of reality, where what you gain corresponds to what you give. The Chongxin lineage, as the new Dharma upheld by Heaven, serves as the cause for accomplishment. Truly, it can be said to be a lineage of great virtue, great causes and conditions, great blessings, and great wisdom, dedicated to the peace of all religions in the world!
The Realm of Wuji Heaven is just and impartial.
It is precisely the five petals of a single flower that grow into maturity, enabling the peaceful coexistence of those who advance world education and culture. This embodies the great compassion of the Lord of Heaven, as well as the profound virtue and grace of the Imperial Mother. In the 21st century, all eras are already undergoing transformation. According to the causes and conditions of time and space, in fifty years everything will be different from the present.
The ability of the Chongxin lineage to meet these criteria is by no means merely a momentary function; it can transcend time and grow across millennia. This very capacity serves as a foundation for surpassing limitations, enabling not only the realization of all karmic achievements in the future but also the genuine dissemination of the spirit of Confucianism to the entire world.
Whether it is religions such as Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, or Islam, all forms of education and culture should be founded on mutual equality to achieve fulfillment. It is hoped that each can clearly understand the responsibilities and missions they bear, which are indeed attainable. Moreover, all existence in the human world must strive for virtuous growth, and through such existence, there will be well-being and comfort.
Through countless transformations they grow,
Yet human fates are not the same.
With a devoted heart, I undertake the sacred task;  
The Master of the Principle Pen reveals the cause and condition.
Bestowed from the realm of Wuji Heaven,  
All compassionate religions revere it together.
Great mercy, great compassion, and boundless love—  
All human connections are arranged by heaven.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, fellow sentient beings; to bring the great virtue of the Wuji Heavenly Realm down to the human world as a testament, thus creating greater room for growth—this is the true nature of reality! May you deeply contemplate the subtle and profound deeds born of such wondrous karma. Today, old friends reunite with joy, and we may yet spend an evening together, speaking freely of the future. Farewell for now!
##Void Ascendant
The Western teachings convey the profound principles to elevate the heart;  
The literary themes reveal the wondrous truths to unfold the sincere heart.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform with true sincerity,  
Gathering all sages to share their heartfelt thoughts.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the founder of Christianity, Jehovah, has descended to compose "The Great Dao Without Extremes, Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Realm of the Wuji Heaven." This serves as a transformative cause for a divine conference agenda of the Supreme Heaven, through which mutual fulfillment can be achieved in the future world.
All religions advocate peace through education. In the topics jointly discussed by the founders of the five major religions under the guidance of Heaven, Confucian thought serves as the foundation for verification. The lineage of Chongxin bears the responsibility and mission passed down through the ages, which is precisely the fundamental principle of peaceful coexistence. This allows everyone to live with ease, fostering equality among all religions in the world as a united whole.
##Nanping Daoci Ancient Buddha
The void and the real unfold across the celestial horizon,  
The empty wheel of the Great Way turns without end or cause.
The highest virtue is founded on the emptiness of the void,  
Thus the great cosmos of the human world is established.
The Mysteries of the Grand Cosmos and Its Evolution
Observing from the Realm of Wuji Heaven, the causes and conditions achieved by all compassionate immortals and Buddhas can truly be described thus: whether they manifest in the world or not, throughout different times, spaces, and environmental processes, it is essential to truthfully offer the causes and conditions accomplished through the combined cultivation of "blessings, virtue, and wisdom," thereby elevating human thought.
Whether it concerns the vast cosmos, or the realms of the Wuji Heaven and the Void Heaven: all can become exemplary models for the future. Moreover, for the sentient beings of the three thousand great chiliocosms, any star system is likewise so. Even among the sages, immortals, and buddhas, it is precisely through their own personal experiences that they can create the causes and conditions to serve as demonstrations.
It is certain to accomplish all sentient beings and original spirits, enabling them to attain the function of learning and emulation, and to be faithfully "preserved" for future generations and aspiring students. This is precisely the process shaped by innate abilities. For any accomplished immortal, Buddha, or Bodhisattva, their virtuous influence extends to all sentient beings, and such is the way of their conduct.
The Grand Cosmos System Evolves Various Celestial Bodies
Throughout the vast cosmos—this holds true in any star system—all sentient beings in the human world grow based on the star system of their own planet. It is essential to understand that to advance through the stage of human existence, one must possess the capacity to transcend the roots of karma. Only then can one avoid being trapped in the cycle of human survival.
Conversely, it exists even more within the necessities of human existence. This can be observed from one perspective: the process manifested by the Great Dao should also be this way. In the human world, there is originally an essential desire for one's own survival orientation, and under such conditions, the process of existence is inherently as it truly is.
Moreover, how can one detach from the world of human existence and still possess such efficacy? All beings bear the dependencies required for their own survival, which is precisely as it should be. Observing from the perspective of all living beings in the vast world: each exists within the heavens and earth with the necessities of survival. And when considering the vast celestial systems, it is indeed possible to transcend such constraints.
It is essential to first allow oneself to give rise to a "thought and concept" anew, thereby elevating and transcending. It is precisely through such conditions that one can attain clarity regarding the direction of one's own existence. In the same way, all sentient beings will come to understand: what is it that they truly desire? For the most part, it is merely the "food chain"!
The Realm of Wuji is the Great Cosmos.
The Great Celestial Realm: This refers to the initial function of the "Realm of the Limitless Heaven," which is precisely the role of the Great Cosmos in creating any galaxy. It can also accomplish all higher-level states, realms, and attainments, such as those of sages, deities, immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas. All require a higher-level energy body to serve as the opportunity for their own return and transcendence.
This is for oneself, to serve as an example and model for the future. However, even with such conditions, there are many who could achieve the status of sages, immortals, Buddhas, or bodhisattvas but are unwilling to set such examples. They rarely manifest in the "Jambudvīpa," as it depends on whether the causes and conditions they carry are sufficient for such manifestations.
It is precisely by engaging with the sentient world that one can attain the causal conditions to transcend and achieve future realization. This is not only profoundly correct! Among the beings within the Earth's star system, those who manifest and serve as exemplary models are less than one in ten million. The rest have not come to the Earth's star system but have instead transcended within other star systems.
This aligns with the principle that within "Jambudvīpa," all that can be clearly understood is that sages, immortals, buddhas, and deities must first possess the requisite karmic connections before they can manifest within the Earth's star system. Moreover, there are many such karmic connections within this system that have yet to be revealed or demonstrated, making them difficult to fully comprehend. It is precisely based on the presence or absence of these overall karmic connections that choices are made!
Different immortals and Buddhas manifest in different galactic systems.
This is not a lack of compassion from the immortals and buddhas; rather, it is precisely because they descend to guide and accomplish beings according to different causes and conditions that such actions arise. Within the human world, distinctions are made, and for nations in every corner of the world, all are differentiated into religions such as Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Yet these are merely teachings within the religious sphere of the Earth's star system.
It is essential to clarify: All human races across the vast universe, together with all celestial beings, Buddhas, saints, deities, and Bodhisattvas, each follow their own karma to fulfill their respective destinies. Through this, they achieve the manifestations and compassionate descents revealed in the future. This process, driven by the education and elevation of sentient beings, enables all humanity to benefit.
The Universe: From the perspective of the Milky Way galaxy, the Earth's planetary system has been graced by the virtues of religion, allowing all faiths in the human world to find their spiritual anchor. This enables a shared affinity to transcend and ascend. In other star systems, however, there exists no concept of religion; rather, all are oriented toward the Great Dao as the ultimate object of faith.
There is no such thing as the religious divisions that exist in the human world, which serve as barriers of faith. Such divisions represent only a limited form of religious belief, and if taken as an ultimate goal, they become a form of bondage and limitation. What differs from worldly faiths is that it is driven by one's own "inherent inclination and discernment" as a matter of personal interest, and it does not rely on religion as its foundation.
How can different religious bodies be implemented?
This allows one's spiritual framework to become more grounded. If religious terminology is set aside, the constraints of faith also dissolve. Observe carefully the world today: the actions of those without religious beliefs are clear to see. How do the limitations imposed by religious faith compare with those experienced without it?
Dahuan: Once again, this serves as mutual verification. In times when one feels lost and helpless within, the many troubles and setbacks encountered in the human world—that is, hitting too many walls—inevitably wear down a significant portion, or even erase entirely, one’s inner self: the soul, orientation, personality, innate nature, habits, and tendencies.
It is precisely because all trials in the human world follow this pattern—being worn down through the process of experience—that one subjects oneself to the painful torment of one's personality, innate nature, habits, and ingrained tendencies. This is the result of all the many trials one has encountered, along with a deep-seated emptiness within the heart that finds no place to anchor itself.
It is akin to a solitary boat adrift at sea, lost and helpless, unable to find a shore to rely upon, drifting aimlessly in vast obscurity, with no true refuge or support for one’s future path. Under such circumstances and conditions, one may turn to religious practice in the human world, seeking solace and escape from the suffering of earthly existence.
Religious faith provides spiritual sustenance.
It is precisely because there is something that can be spoken of, that there can exist the original driving force of faith—that is, generated by faith itself. And it is through such a cause and condition, precisely after entering into religion, that one can find for oneself a spiritual reliance, a foundation upon which religious faith is anchored. This is bound to alleviate the painful trials and tribulations within human society.
This kind of faith, which can serve as a spiritual refuge for all sentient beings across the vast universe, is indeed authentic and provides a foundation for transcending the mundane world. But can it truly sustain long-term religious devotion? Not necessarily! Why is this so? Often, at the slightest encounter with a minor setback, one retreats and gives up—what can be done about it?
The Vast Cosmos: In the context of one's faith, all that can be transcended—whether in the human world or within this cosmic space—is profoundly authentic. It relies on the foundation of religious belief and, moreover, helps to diminish the continuous manifestation of one's own: individuality, inherent nature, habits, and tendencies.
It can certainly reduce many of the trials and tribulations that serve as tests in the human world, thereby eliminating future difficulties and setbacks for oneself. This is precisely achieved by transcending the planets of the vast universe—that is, by returning in a truly complete and perfect manner. Moreover, what will become of all sentient primordial spirits who descend to the planetary system of Earth in the future?
Can religious discipline be used for self-improvement?
Can one comprehend how one will return or transcend in the future? Or will one merely sink into the Earth's galaxy? This is a path one chooses for oneself. Whether future achievements and karmic roots can be attained depends on this: it may be said that one should not be bound by any religion within the Earth's galaxy—only then is it the true path!
On the contrary, one may utilize religious disciplines to achieve the opportunity for returning to transcendence. It is necessary to establish a prior conceptual framework of thought in order to attain transcendence. This can be achieved by elevating oneself through the compassionate religions of the human world, rather than clinging rigidly to religious scriptures or confining oneself within the limitations and obstacles imposed by religion.
This is a case of confining oneself within limitations and constraints, even within the framework of religion, to bind oneself. If one merely engages in faith and practice with the desire to ascend, such an approach fundamentally lacks any opportunity for genuine growth! I hope you will carefully reflect on the essence of religion: it is meant to enable one to transcend, not to become ensnared.
From the realm of the Limitless Heaven descending to the mortal world,  
The vast cosmos and celestial realms unfold.
The laws of human religion  
Through these, karmic connections are arranged and fulfilled.
Cultivate and control one's own disagreeable temper;  
Personality and habits are all one's own making.
It is but a limitation and an obstacle;  
Transcend it to return to the destined time.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it is precisely through this that one can achieve ascension and transcendence in the future! Yet, sentient beings are unable to transcend on their own, and instead may sink into the five turbidities of the evil world, merely existing within the Earth's star system. I hope that by carefully contemplating its meaning, one may transcend the universe.
Further notice: In the next period, the Celestial Book will be authored by the Universal Master, the primordial Heavenly Sovereign and Benevolent Teacher, who will personally descend to compose it. All rituals must not be neglected, as this marks the first descent of the Sovereign Benevolent Teacher to the Earthly Star System—the Chongxin Sect Lineage. Your hard work is appreciated!
## Limitless Jasper Pool Numinous Treasure Immortal Lad
The Western world imparts wondrous truths;  
Refined teachings descend, exalting the subtle workings of the mind.
Bodhisattvas, through the power of their vows, bring about growth and maturity, gathering together all virtuous beings as their refuge.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Orthodox Chairman of our lineage, the Supreme Master of the Void—Namo Void Supreme Virtue Human-Heaven Ancient Buddha, has descended to compose "The Great Tao Without Extremes: Chapter Twenty-Nine, The Great Cosmos," elucidating the differences between human world religious beliefs and cosmic celestial beliefs.
It must be balanced through human society—how exactly should this be done? And how can one achieve transcendence? It is not merely confined to the limitations of worldly religious beliefs. Moreover, in the future, there will be no possibility for genuine transcendent growth. It is essential to understand: can one truly rise above oneself, or will one merely remain trapped within the Earth's galaxy? It is hoped that in the growth of this state of mind, one can become the master of oneself.
## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The Lord of the Void descends in glory;  
The Sage Emperor Wen Heng stands in reverence.
Respectfully welcoming the sacred arrival for inspection, all deities and mortals arrange the ceremonial rites.
Today, we reverently welcome the personal descent of the Master of the Universe to Chongxin Hall for the writing of the scriptures. This is truly a rare and precious opportunity, bringing immense honor to our entire Chongxin lineage. We are filled with joy! Delight! Happiness! Gratitude! The auspicious moment in time and space has arrived, and we should respectfully receive the descent of the Heavenly Father, the Master of the Void, Wuji, and the Universe, to our hall!
By decree, the Celestial Venerable of Golden Brush from the Void, leading the immortal maidens of the "Ling" generation from the Void, shall receive the sacred carriage thirty li away; by decree, the Celestial Venerable of Silver Brush and Great Dao from the Void, leading the immortal maidens of the "Cai" generation from the Void, shall respectfully greet the sacred carriage of the Heavenly Father twenty li away. All other deities, Buddhas, disciples, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Institute shall line up in formation to await the carriage.
##Wuji Yaochi Zhenbao Xiantong
From the void of causality, descending to the mortal realm;  
The Supreme of the Infinite, with virtuous grace, draws near.
The Lord of the Universe bestows reverence upon the heart,  
The Great Way, boundless, unfolds and attests.
The Dao decree of the void descends upon the Hall of Reverent Heart.
The Dao decree is proclaimed from the void and descends upon the mortal realm. For all sentient beings in the world of affection, it offers the potential for growth. In this present era, as sentient beings grow and learn within the human world, they may cultivate the foundation for their own elevation, enabling self-transcendence. By achieving in the present moment what the world of affection can accomplish, one attains what is right and true.
It is certain that one can achieve the ability to ascend, transcend, and surpass, through the toils of a lifetime in the human world, attaining growth through learning from one's actions, thereby making greater strides in surpassing. Through all efforts in the mortal realm, one can alter the innate destiny, embodying the precious principle that "if fate does not grant it, one must create it."
From the perspective of the human world: the growth of the universe, emptiness, and the infinite can be seen as a means of transcendence. Yet, the world of sentient beings is a limited one. At present, the myriad beings living in the human world are unable to fully comprehend the fundamental workings of the universe, emptiness, and the infinite. How, then, can there be greater opportunities for growth? Indeed, there cannot be!
The Supreme Cause of the Formless Void
Wuji: It uses the void as its foundation for deduction, aligning more closely with what humanity today refers to as the cosmic world—the very term currently in use. It is not merely a process of learning and growth but also a means, through such conditions, to achieve accomplishments aligned with one's own interests. Through Wuji, decrees are issued, establishing all courses of education and enlightenment in the human world.
It is necessary to undergo a process of self-refinement to accumulate learning experiences. However, if this refinement originates from the Wuji (the Limitless), it aligns with the future of the human world. This is due to the function of the "West – Gengxin Metal," which corresponds to the primary operation of celestial destiny. Thus, it can be said that gradually, the virtues of the Kun (Earth) principle will emerge and flourish.
The masculine principle in the human world gradually recedes behind the scenes to facilitate accomplishment, undergoing the necessary cycles of celestial destiny. In relation to the cosmos and the void, it can be said: this precisely aligns with the karmic causes that fulfill the human path! By understanding the Chongxin system, one can also comprehend why, among all the celestial beings and buddhas descended from the void and heavenly realms, the feminine principle outnumbers the masculine—this too is for the same reason!
The Realm of the Void and Boundless Heaven descends to Earth.
The Primordial Origin itself—through nurturing all souls to descend and transform, targets all celestial bodies in the universe. It is through the human world that the propagation of the Dao's path and sacred duties is accomplished. How can one comprehend the entirety of the Great Dao? It lies in understanding how the actions of descent and transformation across the entire cosmic galaxy unfold. That is, through the Primordial Origin nurturing all primordial spirit seeds, enabling them to ascend, grow, and transcend!
In the role of providing detailed records for the future Milky Way galaxy, it can be understood that the records made by humanity from Earth about the Milky Way galaxy have, in fact, already undergone numerous cycles of chaos and rebirth over billions of years under such conditions—a mystery not yet comprehensible to the current human world.
The human world can only be clearly understood through the towering mountains of the Earth's galaxy. Yet why is it that within these very mountains, one can find fossils of deep-sea shells? This is the result of successive cycles of chaotic transformations, prompting us to question whether the Earth's galaxy can truly serve as our eternal dwelling place. Perhaps it is best not to consider it so.
The Great Dao governs the rotation of cosmic galaxies.
The Great Dao operates naturally, interconnecting the human world, the Haotian world, the Wuji world, the void world, and the cosmic galaxy world through a "consistent thread of the Great Dao." This function is clarified from the very inception of the Great Dao. How, then, should we understand the space of Earth on which we live?
Not only within the Earth's galaxy, but in fact, the human world has long been spreading to other galaxies through planetary collisions that propel meteorites outward. This is essentially what humans refer to as the dissemination of DNA. It is important to understand that this DNA elevates into RNA, which serves to transform the original substance, and furthermore, it spreads throughout the entire galactic system.
Allowing the original DNA to undergo growth, through billions of years of evolution, this causal essence (DNA) was transmitted to the Earth's galaxy. In truth, it had long existed within the Milky Way galaxy, and such causal essence has already spread throughout the entire cosmic galaxy. It is merely that human technology has yet to verify this reality.
QNA's Superior Genetic Energy
The Dao—it is accomplished through the "QNA" of the galaxy, which cannot be comprehended by current knowledge. Even within the technological civilization of the human world, it remains incomparable to the diverse technological civilizations of the galaxy. If one relies solely on human technological knowledge and wisdom, it is fundamentally impossible to grasp the universe and the galaxy.
As if departing from the radiant illumination of the solar system, and engaging in the shadowy photosynthesis of the lunar and stellar systems, it becomes possible to transcend the limitations imposed by the Milky Way galaxy. This is not something that can be comprehended or verified by Earth's current scientific and technological capabilities. It forms an energy that allows one to generate light from within oneself—an achievement attained through QNA.
Nor can it be comprehended by humanity why, at this very moment, the resources of the void, the cosmos, and the celestial realms are descending upon the Earthly Star System of "Jambudvipa." It is precisely due to profound causes and conditions that have been forged, merging with the original spirits of sentient beings in Jambudvipa. In truth, this has long been facilitated through the "borrowing of talents," thereby enabling the descent of technological resources for humanity.
The energy of all that is illuminated by the celestial dawn.
This entity also resides in the celestial realm of the void, descending the "luminous energy of the cosmic stars" into the Chongxin lineage to foster its growth. Moreover, it disseminates scientific and technological civilizations that are beyond the comprehension of many human worlds, enabling all to attain accomplishment within a single lifetime. By benefiting future generations of humanity, it achieves self-fulfillment while also guiding and liberating sentient beings.
The Supreme Way of the Wuji—precisely: the Great Way of the Void, also known as: the Great Way of the Cosmos—was bestowed upon the human world from the celestial realm of the Void. Moreover, it descended with the presence of the Venerable Void and the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara. These two sacred Buddhas descended to serve as vehicles, uniting to establish the foundation for the return of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children of the Earth’s star system.
How can one, regarding their own future, truthfully utilize the QNA energy to achieve "self-illumination of energy"? This is not fabricated out of thin air but is grounded in reason and reality. By taking action in the present moment, we can provide evidence for all to witness. In the future, as technology leads the civilized world, cherishing this opportunity is to embrace the virtues of the Wuji, the Void, and the Cosmos!
To achieve transcendence beyond one's own karma, it is essential to attain it through QNA. In aligning with the luminous energy of the future—self-illumination—it is precisely through taking each step with a solid footprint that one can genuinely fulfill such karmic conditions within a single lifetime. This is a functional condition not enjoyed by other lineages, enabling upward growth, elevation, and transcendence!
Self-illumination transcends all returns,  
The fundamental path of life unfolds.
Steady the mind, steady the nature, steady the wisdom—  
Thus shall one in the future achieve self-mastery.
The great energy of QNA itself surpasses the foundation of religion.
All sentient beings of heaven and earth,  
Each can ride the tide back to the destined return.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement for all humanity; it is only by constructing another perspective of thought for everyone that we can attain truth. Today, as I first descend to our Chongxin lineage, I observe this inspiring momentum, which is truly commendable. Diligently expanding and propagating this path will establish an infinite foundation for countless generations, enduring through the ages. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and apologize for the disturbance caused to Chongxin. Farewell!
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
Descending from the void world to the mortal realm,  
The noble one’s destiny is borne by the heart of reverence.
The Lord of the Universe descends for the first time,  
Together meeting the wise pen, beloved by virtuous students.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today marks an exceptionally rare moment. On this auspicious seventh anniversary of the Chongxin Sect, the Heavenly Father—the Supreme Venerable of the Void, Wuji, and the Cosmos—has descended to our Chongxin for an inspection, bestowing boundless glory upon all the deities, Buddhas, students, and fellow members of the Great Tao Academy at Chongxin!
For all those who have participated in today's sacred Buddha event, there can be considerable confirmation that the foundational structure of Chongxin will be faithfully expanded and propagated in the future. This verifies that it is precisely through the support and bestowal of the Void and Wuji that such achievements are made. This is not an opportunity that ordinary spiritual centers can attain, and it must be cherished with great care!
It is precisely to grant our sect lineage the opportunity to expand and validate itself within the future of education and culture. Today, the chance for the Universal Sovereign, Heavenly Father, and Primordial Celestial King—our revered teacher—to personally descend upon the Chongxin sect lineage is exceedingly rare. All rituals must be observed without fail, and loud clamor must be avoided. Proper etiquette in both approach and retreat must be carefully attended to. We appreciate everyone’s diligence and efforts!
## The Joyful Jade Fairy of the Wuji Yaochi
Nanping guards all beings with compassion,  
Daoji ascends with the people in harmony.
The Ancient Buddha descended to bestow the celestial scriptures,  
And all spirits in the Wuji Realm of Principle were perfected.
The Cause and Condition of Wuji Descending to the Human World
In the perspective of the Limitless Dao from *The Dao Without Bounds*: It provides sentient beings with a foundational cause for growth in their worldly existence, offering them the means to achieve spiritual maturity. Precisely through one’s own actions in the present life, one can gain clarity on how to apply the mind. Furthermore, how can one grant oneself greater space for growth?
From the perspective of sentient beings and primordial spirits, the choice lies in whether one strives or not. If one can exchange the toil of a single lifetime for achievements spanning millions of years, and move freely like the Tathagata, it is truly worthwhile. Without diligent effort in the present moment, one remains forever confined to the Earth's star system, and it becomes difficult to attain the fundamental conditions for transcendent accomplishments.
The Wuji unfolds all creation.
Even within the Earth's star system, the purpose is to enable all sentient beings and primordial spirits to grow and learn, accumulating knowledge through experience. By transforming every challenge and difficulty encountered into lessons for the future, wisdom is elevated through the accumulation of knowledge. Without such a foundation, achieving true accomplishment in the human world would be fundamentally impossible.
It is not that one can achieve ascension and transcendence on one's own. This can be cultivated through gradual accumulation, by means of one's own learning process, to attain clarity about the future direction. It is precisely these conditions that enable transcendence. Yet, within the human world, constrained by the mutual influences of the Earth and Moon systems, it becomes even more difficult to break free from this predicament.
The application of the "Middle Way" thinking in the human world enables one to genuinely achieve the transformation of one's future path. This necessarily entails undergoing all trials and experiences within the human realm, through which a process of refinement and selection occurs. Only then can one elevate oneself into a state that transcends mere transformation, a state achieved precisely through the choices one makes in one's own direction.
The boundless virtue and grace unfold for all living beings.
All interpretations, from the human world to transcendent growth, can serve as vehicles for all original spirits of "Jambudvīpa" to ascend. Yet, does this raise the question of whether the foundation for such ascension can be firmly established? Or is it merely through religious power that one believes they can achieve fulfillment within a single lifetime?
One must undergo numerous trials and tempering to truly comprehend: what material or quality is this? Precisely because there is a basis for future growth, sentient beings all delight in being shaped by the decrees of the Wuji in the human realm. Thus, it becomes clear: one must personally experience and embody the fundamental virtues revealed by the Great Dao through its manifestations.
If one cannot achieve clarity, it becomes difficult to have a foundation for future accomplishments, and one will not transcend all actions in the human world. In the very act of survival, it is necessary to surpass the three aspects of "heart, body, and spirit," which requires enduring numerous trials and experiences. Only then can one attain the conditions to rely on for future achievements.
The Great Causality of the Divine Principle
It is precisely the "essence of the Dao," and because "principle" is the "substance of the Dao," it can be observed through the human world precisely because "principle" signifies separation! Principle is: the Dao, the path, the course; it can be clearly understood that the "adherents of principle" are mutually integrated in the necessity of elevation—this is the opportunity for transcendence.
Whether it is the human world, the world of Haotian, the world of Wuji, the world of emptiness, or the vast cosmic world, all are interconnected through the course of the Principle. Without this mutual connection, it would be difficult to achieve clear verification in the future. It is precisely through the creation of the Principle that the human world can be thoroughly unified.
It is indeed correct to elevate through the "realm of principles"! It can also serve as the foundation for transcending causality, aligning with the fundamental origin of the Wuji—that is, taking principles as the guide. To depart from principles is to deviate; such conditions may interconnect in the future, which must be clarified through the celestial realms of the great universe and the galaxy.
If all galaxies in the entire Milky Way were to deviate from their rotation and revolution, they would collide with one another. In the human world, would the myriad planets within all galactic systems suffer calamities, or even be pursued and struck by meteors, leading to the complete annihilation of their countless original spirits? Not necessarily!
The Foundation of Transcending the Celestial Principle
It is indeed difficult to ascertain whether all beings in the human world and the galactic world will face the calamity of extinction. This makes it clear that, as evidenced in ancient times, the dinosaur world was similarly eradicated. Whether they perished entirely remains a mystery, as humanity struggles to fully comprehend the complete truth of such events.
Wuji Li Tian: This is precisely the birthplace of all primordial spirits. Not only does it send down the myriad sentient primordial spirits to the Earth's star system, but also to spaces far beyond this galaxy, free from the limitations of solar and lunar illumination. The distinction between the galactic world and the human world lies precisely in the difference in civilization and technology.
In the human world, sentient beings often believe that beyond the space of the Earth they currently inhabit, there are no species similar to humans. Is this truly the case? In fact, it is not so! This is because Earth's technological civilization remains at a relatively rudimentary stage. As such, it is currently unable to verify all that exists in outer space.
It should be clearly understood that current Earth technology, in relation to all celestial bodies within the universe and the Milky Way galaxy, includes numerous species similar to humans. Through the "borrowing of talent" facilitated by high-tech civilizations, advanced species from other star systems have been brought down to the Earth's planetary system to conduct research, foster innovation, and drive progress, thereby benefiting future generations of humanity.
The Ultimate Principle of Heaven governs all manifestations.
Regarding the grand mission guided by the "Realm of Principle," without the resources of the Wuji Realm of Principle, how could present-day technology achieve leaps of a thousand miles a day, or even ten thousand miles a day? Without the role of these high-tech civilizations—borrowed for assistance—how could humanity truly possess the resources to disseminate and transform? Indeed, it would be impossible!
It is essential to understand clearly: why can all the inventions and constructions of humanity's next generation be verified in the present world, and why will they surpass what exists today? Precisely because they are brought into being through the "borrowing of talents"—not merely through the achievements of contemporary human religions, but by truly elevating human civilization with all its advanced technologies.
If, after several more decades, human beings on Earth can soar through the skies in a world of high-speed technological movers, what kind of energy would make this possible? It would be derived from the extraction of cosmic flight energy from all matter in the human world, sourced from Earth's water resources and other energy reserves, only then could it be fully realized!
If one cannot clearly comprehend the essence of other energy sources and water resources, which can serve as the "energy fuel" for sustenance, then attempting to glimpse the mysteries of the vast cosmic heavens is beyond the reach of human technological capabilities. It is only through future advancements in technology, where civilization progresses by leaps and bounds—advancing a thousand miles in a day or even ten thousand—that such understanding may become attainable.
Subtle is the cosmic evolution and transformation; sublime is the ascension and migration of Earth's star systems.
Harnessing the vast resources of the deep sea to refine energy and return to the primordial essence.
In the human world, survival is but a fleeting fate of a hundred years.
Learning from within religion,  
Growth transcends a millennium with stability.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; in elevating and transcending all technological civilizations, it is precisely about taking each step firmly and steadily towards achievement in the future. We hope to strive to surpass, not merely confined to the hundred-year karmic connections of the human world. It should transcend millions of years to be as true and real as it ought to be!
One must be clear-minded to truly cherish! Through one's own contemplation, in the present moment, it is possible to verify the mysteries of the vast universe from the human world—this makes one the foremost among humanity. Today, this old monk has descended once more, leading the way—in Taiwanese accent! Old friends gathering brings joy and delight in the heart. Let us bring forth the thousand-year-old sweet ferment once more! A craving stirs! I have troubled you all. Farewell!
##Homage to Mahavairocana Buddha
The Wuji Heavenly Principle unfolds its foundation,  
The Yaochi paradise is rare in the mortal realm.
Lingbao achieved enlightenment in youth,  
Immortal youths accompany the master, embodying the virtue of grace.
Good evening to all the sages, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Institute! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha—the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji—has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of *The Great Dao Without Extremes: The Realm of Wuji Principle*. Through this work, the mysteries that will be verified by future technology will gradually become clear to all, allowing us to construct this understanding from firsthand sources.
This is not something that can be obtained out of thin air; it is precisely through the process of "taking one step at a time, leaving a solid footprint at each stride" that such an opportunity and condition have been nurtured. It is also not something that other religions can accomplish. It has been achieved through seven years of cultivation within the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. Only through the unwavering determination of Master Li Bi has this been made possible—a condition that is truly rare and precious.
It is essential to clarify: the "Pen of Principle" — that is, the Pen of the Ultimateless, the Pen of the Celestial Principle, the Pen of Truth, the Pen of Mysterious Mechanism, the Pen of the Great Dao! It is not comparable to ordinary, commonplace writings, nor can it be matched or equaled. Indeed, it is the descent of the Ultimateless, the sole "Divine Voice Transmitted in Truth" in the world today. Treasure it, strive for it, and advance courageously!

The Thirty-Second Chapter of the Infinite Dao:  
The Mission of the Celestial Principle and the Grace of Virtue
The Evolutionary Process of the Wuji Heavenly Principle
The Limitless Realm of Principle serves as the foundation for observing the resources of all sentient beings. It is from the Limitless that all primordial spirits descend and manifest within the human world. It is also through the nurturing of the Heavenly Providence that all sentient beings with consciousness are brought forth. Within the human world, under the benevolent influence of the vast cosmos, a record of future technological civilizations is preserved—a truth that is profoundly real.
Furthermore, it can channel all the virtues bestowed by Heaven into the human world. However, if these virtues cannot be applied to record the transformations of civilization, then within the entirety of the vast cosmos, they remain merely an eternal presence—unable to comprehend the entire course of time and space, and even more difficult to clarify the evolution of any single link within it.
From ancient records, we can understand why "Wuji" is also referred to as "Li Tian." It is merely a distinction among the three concepts of "Li, Qi, and Xiang," which lies in:
Existence in the Realm of Forms (the Realm of Heaven)
It originates from the world of human existence, and can be said to be a stage of survival within the human realm, where the function of progress cannot be manifested. It follows the footsteps of survival in the true human world, leaving one footprint with each step, each stride grounded firmly in the world of reality. This is the essential nature of human life.
Only then can the future technological civilization be truly integrated into the human world. This is precisely how the actual processes of all existing phenomena in the real realm should be! Through the process of manifestation, all applications can be verified across the vast world, aligning with the true existence of all living orientations.
The realm of qi (the heavens of qi) exists.
Through the realm of qi, one can reach the great cosmic world and thereby "move a single thought." This is achieved through the movement of qi, guided and dominated by the motion of qi itself. What the realm of qi can accomplish is propelled and directed by invisible forces. In the current time and space, it is fundamentally difficult to verify this through technology.
It is through the function of "subtle contemplation and cultivation" that, within the stirring of qi, a kind of "supreme vehicle" manifestation emerges. This can achieve the formation of the vast cosmic world, transcending the limitations of both the realms of "qi and phenomena." Moreover, it can surpass all the constraints and obstacles of the earthly world through the atmosphere, achieving an even greater transcendence through elevation.
The principle governs the transformation and nurturing of the celestial realm.
Through the achievements of the great cosmos, the intangible realm of qi is equally transcended by the tangible "manifestation" realm of human existence. It is through the activation of "qi" that the function of principle is realized, allowing the guidance of the cosmic galaxies to achieve the fundamental ascent and transcendence via the fulfillment of "principle." This is indeed profoundly true!
Regarding the realm of principle manifested by the Great Dao, it can be said: through the process unfolded by the Great Dao, the orbital functions of "revolution and rotation" are separated for all star systems. Only in this way can it be ensured that all star systems within the vast cosmic world, precisely through the "separation by principle," operate along their respective orbits without interference.
It is through the manifestation of the Great Dao and the function of the "separation of principles" that things do not become entangled. If they deviate from their respective orbits of motion, they will easily fall into mutual attraction, likely leading to the tragic outcome of collision—a situation the Great Dao least wishes to see.
Achieving the Mission and Fulfilling the Mandate
If we consider the separation of principles, it is through the great virtue and grace derived from the Dao's unfolding. Over billions of years, it separates all mutually attracting actions, granting each its own orbit. Then, through the interactions of all celestial bodies colliding, necessary distinctions and isolations are made. How would this process manifest in the unfolding of the Dao?
It is precisely through the process of the Wuji Heavenly Realm that the respective motions of celestial bodies are distinguished. Through the space of the vast cosmos, all star systems mutually fulfill one another, thereby establishing the positions of their respective systems. Following the universal laws of rotation and revolution, each star system operates according to its inherent functional dynamics.
Thus, it will not collide with other galaxies, and all planets within the Milky Way galaxy will also avoid numerous disasters. This is due to the overarching operational function directed by the Supreme Heaven, which can instill all laws of operation into any galaxy. It can be said that in the future, this will enable the unfolding of a directional role.
Mission of the Wuji Heavenly Principle
Moreover, it can allow the Milky Way galaxy to mutually fulfill and protect its movements, which is indeed very true and necessary to clarify: why is it that sentient beings living in the Earth's galaxy are unable to comprehend the operational movements of the entire vast universe? Even for sentient beings in the human world, there is also an inability to have a clear understanding.
How does the evolution of the vast world unfold? We can only clearly understand that it lies in the survival of the human world, and thus cannot fully comprehend the entire process of interstellar operation. It is governed by the "rotation and revolution" within each star system, and further operates in mutual accordance with the universal laws of orbit, never deviating from the principles deduced by the greater Dao.
It is precisely through mutual separation and independent operation that we can understand: why, in the overall operation of the Great Dao, there exists a supremely impartial and righteous cosmic principle, which is perfected by the entire star system of the great cosmos. Only through the operation of the entire star system can mutual balance be achieved, enabling the cyclical functioning of all cosmic principles of the Great Dao.
Architectural Framework of the Mission in the Realm of Principle
It enables all living celestial bodies and planets to mutually fulfill one another. The future will allow for the recording and downloading of actions, precisely and truthfully transferring such conditions to the technological civilization of tomorrow. In the human world, this is merely an entity of the "realm of form." How, through the transformative actions of the "realm of energy," can it ascend to the "realm of principle" to achieve transcendence!
In the realm of sentient beings, one may utilize both the physical and spiritual bodies to achieve "translocation and transformation" or "transforming and relocating elsewhere." This is accomplished through the technological civilization of the human world, which is as it should be! Thus, there will be future actions of verification and dissemination, carried out via the human world, to provide validation and documentation for all technologies.
The Limitless Realm of Principle unfolds its evolution; the mission of the Principle Heaven knows no end.
Clarify the separation between star systems to protect the myriad galaxies of the cosmos.
The merciful grace of Heaven bestows its virtue,  
Recording below to guide all toward refuge.
The Patriarch of Reason-Pen, with profound foundations,
Records the true principles in his writings.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings; it can be verified through future technology, by means of various causes and conditions, serving to guide and confirm. For the sentient beings of the human world, it very truthfully takes these conditions and causes to practically verify the civilization of future technology. Thank you all for your hard work. As your teacher, I have troubled Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
##Namo Amitabha Buddha
The Limitless Realm of Principle descends to the mortal world;  
The Jasper Pool, a sacred realm, opens the Great Way.
The Scripture of Stabilizing Treasures originates from the reverence of the heart,  
Where celestial virtues and intentions manifest as love in the mortal realm.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea has descended to compose "The Great Tao Without Limits: Chapter Thirty-Two – The Mission of the Heavenly Principle," offering an analysis that separates the star systems of the vast universe, distinguishing the rotation and revolution of each celestial body. Through this immortal work, may all gain clarity.
Why is the "separation of principles" the force that divides and isolates cosmic galaxies? Precisely to allow the human world to possess a renewed space for thought. If this "separation of principles" cannot achieve mutual balance within the vast cosmos and operate in accordance with universal order, it will generate a crisis of collisions among all things and endanger other star systems.
This condition has been shaped over billions of years of cosmic operation, while human civilization has only been able to comprehend it within the brief span of sixty thousand years. This wisdom and experience have been imparted to humanity through the recorded teachings of immortals and buddhas in our worldly civilization. Even with today’s advanced technology, we remain unable to fully grasp the entire evolutionary process of these sixty millennia.
By diligently following the works, one can clearly understand and verify the entire deductive process! If nothing happens, it does not signify true knowledge; it merely indicates a lack of clarity in the verification process. It is essential to strive earnestly, thoroughly studying the "Dadao Series Classics." Through this, one will surely gain insights. Each repeated study brings new realizations and personal confirmations, with each experience offering different reflections.
##Wuji Erguan Shengdi
All sentient beings pay homage to Tathagata,  
The Lamp of Dharma naturally illuminates the way.
The ancient Buddhas jointly support Chongxin Hall, bearing the mission and responsibilities of the Dao path.
The Mission of the Wuji Path
The actions of the Wuji Li Tian can be observed as the elevation of the original spirits of sentient beings in the present moment. It is only right to undertake the responsibilities and missions with a sense of duty, and for all the original spirits descended from Li Tian, elevation is also a process. As for the habits and tendencies acquired after descending to the mortal realm, how should they be adjusted through religious cultivation? It is essential to undergo growth through all religions!
Sentient beings rely on religious faith for support, which enables the human world to achieve fulfillment and learning. That is to say, after entering into religion, all actions—such as sacrifice, dedication, charity, sponsorship, protection, and fulfillment—can be said to provide greater guardianship and guidance to the original spirits of sentient beings. Only then is it truly authentic!
The Path Course—it is distinct from the duties of the Void Path that serve as a foundation. Thus, the Void has its own tasks within the Path Course, and the Wuji has its own tasks within the Path Course. These are directed toward all primordial spirits, descending to transform the world of sentient beings, and further elevating the multitudes of primordial spirits across the vast cosmos. If one cannot transcend the cycle of reincarnation in the human path, how then can this be achieved?
How does the Dao path grow?
Sentient beings in the human realm are confined to the cycle of repeated reincarnation. By grounding themselves in religious faith and educational culture, they can transcend the limitations of their current cycle and further elevate the foundation of their karma. For the compassionate humanity of this vast world, how then can they stride toward greater achievements?
It is only through the refinement of rebirth that one can achieve virtuous transcendence. The cycle of rebirth for all sentient beings is profoundly dreadful, yet humans seldom fully comprehend the constraints of this process. Therefore, they fail to realize that within the continuous cycle of rebirth, there lies the potential to cultivate the causes and conditions for their own upward elevation.
To understand that reincarnation is precisely the means to transform all past circumstances into a fresh state, if sentient beings remain burdened with sin, how can they advance toward a new beginning without elevating themselves through reincarnation! For such beings, there is fundamentally no opportunity to transcend the vortex of past transgressions.
By the mercy of Heaven, and with the protection and guidance of immortals and Buddhas, one can be reborn anew amidst sin and karma. Emerging into the human world or the animal realm represents a refreshing new beginning. Through this process of renewal, past sins are gradually diminished through repeated cycles of reincarnation.
How should the course of the Heavenly Principle be pursued?
This can reduce many limitations imposed by hardship. It requires numerous virtuous causes and conditions to achieve the effect of mitigation and fulfillment. One must willingly undertake repayment and exhaust retribution, which is precisely what provides the necessity for human existence. By fostering the function of good recompense, much can be resolved and settled.
The Path of Dao—it is for all sentient beings and original spirits, enabling them to undergo the process of reducing sins and achieving perfection, thereby elevating their own foundational causes and conditions. In this way, they can experience the cycles of rebirth and renewal, precisely to diminish the many sins of the past. This aligns with the mutual cycle of cause and effect, allowing repayment to be made in the human realm or the animal realm.
In accordance with the cyclical principles of the ultimate truth and universal law of heaven and earth, all sentient beings are bound within this process. The key lies in how to utilize the conditions of the Dao to immerse oneself in the causes and opportunities for elevation and transcendence. If the causes are insufficient and opportunities difficult to attain, attempting to eliminate sins within the human world will ultimately prove ineffective.
There exists an eternal vortex of downfall and predicament, which is not the work of Heaven, nor is it the principles invoked by immortals and buddhas. It must align with the fair laws of heaven and earth, genuinely caring for sentient beings and original spirits to bring them benefit. Such conditions of karma are bound to foster virtuous growth and transcendence.
The Mission of the Wuji Li Heavenly Dao Path
Mission - How can the sins and transgressions of human primordial spirits be reduced and purified within the celestial sphere of the Great Earth? It is precisely because sentient beings, burdened with sins throughout their lifetime, lack the virtuous causes and conditions to accumulate greater merit, and are without the support of their own noble guides, that such circumstances arise.
How can the sins possessed by the primordial spirit be diminished and purified? It is through the trials and sufferings bestowed by Heaven that one enters into a state of enduring hardship. This process serves to eliminate the sins one has created, thereby cleansing them completely. For all sentient beings in general, this method effectively reduces the entanglement of numerous sins, precisely because of its purifying function.
It is through one's own actions of wrongdoing and error that one falls into sin and undergoes the cycle of rebirth and transformation. The mission of the next life is to achieve the reduction and repayment of these debts. At the root of the human world, it is about settling all negative karma accumulated across lifetimes. This condition of cause and effect, within the cycle of successive lives, ultimately leads to the complete resolution of sin.
It is essential to be utterly truthful, for only by doing so can one refresh the process of rebirth and renewal. This allows oneself to enter into a state of purification and repayment that is deeply beneficial. This cannot bypass the constraints of reincarnation; rather, it enables one to undergo rebirth anew, to start afresh and be reborn as a human. This is the great compassionate teaching of the divine beings and celestial Buddhas, aimed at guiding sentient beings through the process of repayment and renewal within the cycle of reincarnation.
All sentient beings have their own distinct missions.
Mission - The original spirit undergoes purification and elevation through the trials of sin. If the burden becomes too heavy or too complex, it will inevitably return to the human world, being reborn as a human or as an animal. In this state of "four feet on the ground," when the original spirit remains undimmed, it will deeply reflect upon its past sins and mistakes.
This aligns with the saying in the human world: "One does not shed tears until seeing the coffin; only when all four legs touch the ground does one realize the truth." Moreover, the past is no longer the present. In such circumstances, if the original spirit remains undimmed, it can serve as a warning. When one is reborn in the next life, there will inevitably be a greater transformative effect, allowing one to reposition and redefine oneself.
It is to allow this life's mission to mitigate all past sins and entanglements. This is achieved through the merciful and just principles of Heaven, aligning with the standards and foundation of "karmic cycles and retribution." Precisely because of this mission, one undergoes all the transformations and reforms of the human world to achieve this mitigation, enabling a fresh start.
The Mission of the Dao Path—regardless of whether it concerns the original spirits of sentient humans or those of other species, all are protected and fulfilled by the vast cosmos and the earth. Through the arrangements of all "missions of the Heavenly Principle," sentient original spirits are granted the opportunity to achieve transcendence and return. This holds true regardless of how many lifetimes of repeated cycles one has undergone, as long as genuine change and repentance are attained.
Humans of Various Missions
This is the realization of what Confucianism refers to as "not repeating the same mistake." Only through continuous improvement and refinement can purification be achieved. From the perspective of the human world, such actions are necessary to align with the universal principles established by heaven and earth. This should also be the path forged by each primordial spirit; otherwise, all sentient beings would be divided by too many conditions.
Why are some people: very kind-hearted, while others: are very domineering, and still others: are of very poor character, and yet others: are blessed with good fortune... There are simply too many different conditions in the human world. All original spirits can be purified in their future karma, but to achieve this future purification, they must undergo the process of growth through cycles of rebirth and renewal!
How then can one mitigate the sins and errors within the human world? Sentient beings may wonder why they must repeatedly undergo the cycle of rebirth! This cycle is precisely constrained by the upward path, marking the boundary between ascent and descent. If one diligently strives in the reverence of the heart, there is no need to worry about the possibility of descending in the future.
Prerequisite! It lies in the purification of the "Eighth Consciousness," which can generate a "differential effect spanning countless generations." We should all rejoice that celestial immortals and Buddhas have traveled vast distances to descend upon the Chongxin lineage, authoring works that elevate the efficacy of present opportunities—karmic connections not bestowed in the past. Can we cherish this? Strive diligently!
The mission of the Heavenly Principle is to teach all beings, guiding the original spirits below to manifest their Buddha-nature.
The path must be purged of karmic obstructions,  
So that the virtue of one's mission may be more fully realized.
Purification relies on oneself, while the heavens bestow mercy with great virtue.
Immortals and Buddhas protect and guide in education, achieving the return to reliance on oneself.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it not only enables one to transcend the present moment but also clarifies all past mistakes and transgressions. It is precisely by reducing these numerous evils and errors in the present that one can, in the future, genuinely create the conditions for self-purification and establish the foundation for fulfillment.
##Namo Medicine Buddha, the Tathagata
Few tread the sacred land of the Ultimate Void;  
The Jade Pool governs heaven with selfless heart.
Xi Qiong ascends the platform to meet the worthy student;  
Even a celestial maiden is guided by human cultivation.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Grand Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namas Dipankara, descended to author the thirty-third chapter of *The Great Dao Without Extremes*, offering a clear and thorough elucidation of the Dao’s journey and mission, which lies in the two distinct levels and tasks of the Void and the Wuji.
Thus, let it be clear to all: whether it be the errors and sins of the present moment or those inherited from countless past lives, the human world is precisely the arena for repaying the karmic debts accumulated over lifetimes. How, then, can one use this illusory body to cultivate the true self? This is indeed a process of genuine experience, one that cannot be bypassed without personal realization.
It is a fulfillment of one's duties and responsibilities to achieve greater accomplishments, and it is within this sense of personal accountability that one attains true achievement! Such exceptional conditions and circumstances are rare in the human world, and only by genuinely accumulating, advancing, and transcending can one elevate oneself to higher levels of understanding.
The student inquired: Primordial spirits are emanated by the Heavenly Realm, yet after descending to the mortal world, they all become lost in worldly illusions. Since this is the case, why does the Heavenly Realm wish to emanate these primordial spirits into the human world, where they continuously suffer due to the creation of negative karma? Moreover, there is confusion regarding today's writings. In truth, why are they emanated? This has already been recorded in detail in past scriptures.
To document the entire deductive process of the cosmos, without such causes and conditions, how could the entirety of the universe be thoroughly understood? This is also one of the reasons for recording the evolutionary process of this planet.
But that is not all; recording is merely one part of the mission. Today's writings further aim to provide a clearer analysis of the repayment of karmic causes and effects accumulated over lifetimes. They also explore how to undertake actions of purification and transcendence within this illusory world (not the illusory body) in order to fulfill one's divinely bestowed mission.
1. Repayment of karmic debts accumulated over lifetimes  
2. Fulfillment of one's heaven-bestowed mission
3. Returning to the True Through the False  
4. Transcending Modern Technology
"Verification" and "wisdom" are indeed directly proportional. As for the questions being asked, it is so! It is so! Yet, everyone still only has a partial understanding; this is precisely why, at the root of the cycle of rebirth for sentient beings, it is essential to incorporate the advancement of "contemporary technology" in growth, enabling the acquisition and assimilation of firsthand information.
Targeting: habits, inertia, inherent nature, along with a foul temperament, further tainted by descending into the mortal realm—these do not exist in the primordial state. What then is to be done? If one is demoted to the realm of phenomena, can one still possess the energy of self-illumination? Precisely not! It is all because the self cannot contain the pure energy of principle and vital force, and thus automatically descends into the human world of phenomena.
## The Sacred Emperor of the Three Passes of the Limitless
Namo Mahāvairocana Buddha  
All sentient beings call upon my name.
In the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa, celestial scriptures are inscribed,  
From the Primordial Realm of Wuji, the original spirits are formed.
The foundation of the original spirit in the realm of principle.
The tasks and support within the Wuji Li Tian (Realm of Principle) are established as conditions for transcendence for all sentient original spirits. It is understood that all sentient beings who descend into the mortal world are capable of transcendence. Thus, the descending actions of the original spirits from the Realm of Principle serve to integrate and record the evolutionary functions for the future within the Earth's star system.
It is precisely by taking the present era as our reference that we can record all the processes of cosmic evolution from the past, all documented through human existence. This clarifies that within the vast universe, as it descends into myriad star systems, there exists the "energy of the Principle Heaven" as a foundation. This is both profoundly accurate and practical, yet it remains a mystery that is exceedingly difficult for humanity to comprehend.
The Realm of Principle is the Boundless Heavenly Realm.
The Realm of Principle: Also known as the Ultimate Non-Polarity; precisely because the three realms of "principle, energy, and form" are integrated, functioning as one continuous whole, it is necessary to traverse the vast cosmos and its galaxy systems. Moreover, it involves transmitting high-tech substances from other star systems down to Earth's galaxy or other star systems. It must be understood: without the recorded actions of life phenomena, it is impossible to comprehend the evolutionary process of the universe!
For all galaxies: Without the ability to clearly surpass the high-tech civilizations of other galaxies, it is impossible for sentient beings of the present era to achieve thorough understanding. It is precisely through technology that the true nature of reality can be verified, which neither detaches from the Earth's galaxy nor deviates from the existential orientation of human beings.
How can one truly verify the future technological civilization through the experiences within the Earth's star system? This is the reality! For all human beings in the Earth's star system are originally spiritual seeds descended from the Wuji, born into the Earth of the Milky Way galaxy. The Great Dao manifests itself to elevate the sentient original spirits through the trials of technological civilization.
The Ascent to the Realm of Limitless Principle
To propel oneself towards a greater space for growth, it is necessary to undergo such a refining process, which can elevate one's spirituality to a deeper level of enhancement and realization. This is precisely what the human world refers to as "illuminating the mind, seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit." Therefore, for religious believers, such verification is not necessarily guaranteed.
When one's practice reaches a certain level of mastery, a single thought can manifest the object of that thought directly before one's eyes. Furthermore, the Realm of Principle responds to and actualizes the entire process of verification. The Realm of Principle is also referred to as the Wuji, which serves as the command center issuing all decrees and is the very source from which all primordial spirits descend.
Regardless of any religious sect or any sentient primordial spirit, all originate from the Realm of Ultimate Principle and descend into the human world. This process inevitably raises the question: why must primordial spirits descend into the earthly realm? It is essential to understand: the Realm of Principle is superior to the earthly world, and one must possess the essence of the Principle Realm. Yet why is it that primordial spirits are unable to fully embody the essence of the Principle Realm?
Defilement and being defiled lead to downfall.
It is precisely the relationship of "staining"! Once stained in this way, and not knowing how to cleanse it, how can one achieve the elevation of "purifying the stained"? It is as if: the original root nature of the human species at present is inherently capable of "self-illumination." However, after being stained, the self-energy becomes depleted, making it impossible to attain the rational heavenly disposition.
Thus, they were demoted to the realm of qi to survive. Over nearly two hundred million years, their qi-nature in the realm of qi became increasingly tarnished, and their li-nature was almost entirely extinguished. Unable to remain in the world of qi, they could hardly possess the self-illuminating energy body of the li realm, making it difficult for them to ascend beyond their karmic origins.
How can one attain the "self-illuminating energy"? It requires an elevation of "purity and defilement" regarding the possession of self-energy! Otherwise, if one remains solely within "defilement," how could they possibly be accommodated in the sublime realm of the Principle Heaven? It is simply impossible! This is because the necessary causal conditions cannot be met, making it exceedingly difficult to be accepted among the multitude of human beings in the present moment.
The original spirits of the Heavenly Principle ought to return.
Original Spirit: Precisely in this manner, through the process of dissipating the temperamental energies in the Realm of Principle, the self-illuminating energy of the individual gradually fades away into nothingness. This is why it cannot be accommodated within the existence of the Realm of Principle and descends into the space of the Realm of Ether, where it continues to be tainted by impurities, unable to elevate the energy body of "self-illumination."
Furthermore, due to the gradual depletion of its own luminous energy, it gradually lost the qualities of the Qi Heaven realm and became increasingly tainted by dust and impurities. Unable to harmonize with the essence of the Qi Heaven, it survived in the Qi realm for two hundred million years, gradually accumulating weight and slowly descending into the mundane world.
This is the realm of "the world of forms," which is precisely the "world of true reality." Having lost the luminous energy body of the "self-illuminating" celestial principle, and having accumulated weight through the process of existence in the celestial ether, it is perceived as a space of thought and spirit in response to the etheric realm. Only that which can accommodate this increased weight is entirely cast down into the world of forms to survive.
Silken ribbons of yellow and colored streamers flutter gracefully in the celestial realm.
Original Spirit: This temperament, having endured numerous layers of defilement, could no longer be contained within the realm of the Qi Heaven. Thus, it descended once more into the mundane world of forms to survive. At the very moment of descending to the mortal realm, it often lifted its head to gaze longingly toward a certain place in the celestial realm—precisely in the Qi Realm—where the "Infinite Yellow Silk Ribbon" could still flutter gracefully by its side.
This descent into the realm of form causes the loss of the colorful ribbons of the Wuji Heavenly Principle, making any return to the primordial origin of Wuji fundamentally impossible! Having lost the yellow silk ribbons of Wuji, the original spirits that descended into the mortal realm weep incessantly, day and night, and must gradually adapt over a long span of time and space.
At the moment of birth into the mortal world, the environment is entirely unfamiliar, and one is fundamentally unable to adapt to survival. The primordial spirit, descending from the realm of principle, originally required neither food nor drink. Even upon descending into the realm of qi, it could survive merely by absorbing air. However, after descending into the realm of form, one gradually begins to feel an indescribable disturbance within the body.
In the beginning, humans were driven by hunger.
Again, it is not known why this is so. This kind of thing is the original foundation, arising from the earliest "hunger." In truth, it is not even known what "hunger" is—only that there is a certain force compelling one to seek food, to bring it into the mouth. Gradually, a sensation emerges, suppressing that inner momentum within the body.
This is the earliest cause of "the descent from the realm of qi to the mortal world"—the human food chain. Regarding the original spirits of the celestial realm of principle, they descended from the Wuji to the realm of qi. Originally carefree and at ease, though not as boundless as roaming the universe in the celestial realm of principle, they still lived in harmony and joy. Only after descending to the realm of form did they realize that something was gravely amiss, for their ethereal essence from the realm of principle had long since vanished.
Furthermore, the yellow silk ribbons and colorful bands in the realm of qi have also vanished. Upon descending to the mortal world initially, one was fundamentally unable to adapt to survival in the Earth's star system. It was precisely this inability to comprehend why, in the present moment, the questions "Who am I? Who is I?" arose, and what I have come here to do? What is it that I ought to do? All of these form a tangled web of doubts that remain unresolved!
The filth of the world causes one to fall.
This most primal essence, having traversed over ten million years of time and space, vanished without a trace, only to be born into the phenomenal world. Through more than forty million years of cyclical transformations, it remains impossible to comprehend: why did it descend to the Earth's star system? Why was it not born into another star system, to transcend from there?
Thus, regarding one's own spiritual body, it becomes a matter of being unable to elevate through "purity" and instead sinking into "defilement." Within the fundamental nature of sentient beings' original spirit, there also exists an inability to overcome the obstacles to ascension. If one can elevate through purity, the original spirit of sentient beings can return and transcend—this is the true reality.
Does everyone possess the ability to reignite the lamp of the Buddha's light within their hearts through the energy of self-illumination, thereby illuminating themselves? Only this is correct! And how can one achieve "self-illuminating energy"? This is precisely what is accomplished through the inherent qualities of QNA. This is not empty talk but has been verified as absolutely true!
The Limitless Realm of Principle descends into the realm of qi,  
Where self-illuminating energy fades away.
Filth and defilement accumulate, adding weight and piling high,  
Descending to the mortal realm, they take form in the world of phenomena.
Clarifying causes and conditions leads to return; purity and defilement reveal the pursuit of Buddha-nature.
Reignite the light of the Buddha-mind,  
Kindle its radiance to illuminate the return.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it analyzes the reasons why the primordial spirits of the Wuji Heavenly Realm descend to the mortal world, allowing everyone to truly understand why they have descended into this earthly dust. Step by step, they have descended into the space where humanity exists. You have all endured hardships; after some time of disturbance, you shall return to the heavenly realm!
The Limitless Heaven of Principle descends to the mortal realm;  
The Jasper Pool and its wondrous realm are all true.
Fengqiong Together Aids Chongxin Hall, Immortal Maiden Ascends the Stage to Meet Virtuous Disciples
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, by the descent of Namo Mahavairocana Buddha, we shall compose "The Great Dao Without Limits: Chapter Thirty-Four – The Primordial Spirit of the Heavenly Principle," analyzing and unraveling the perennial doubts and perplexities that often trouble humanity. This will unveil secrets not transmitted for millennia, allowing everyone to gain clarity on many lingering questions!
Why then do we descend into the realm of phenomena? How can one truly return to the source of sustenance? There exists a foundation capable of serving as a vehicle for transcendence, through which one can clarify oneself within firsthand experience. Only by understanding how to return and transcend in elevation can one attain authenticity; thus, goodness will naturally grow, elevate, and surpass.
※Students of the Chongxin Sect lineage respectfully inquire:
I. What is the Wuji Yellow Silk Ribbon?
The Sacred Revelation states: This has already been explained in the "True Interpretation" earlier. Such methods are only applicable within the realm of the Qi Heaven and the realm of the Principle Heaven, much like the "yellow silk ribbons" placed behind the deities in temples and halls. Only by thoroughly comprehending the entire "Great Dao Series of Heavenly Scriptures" can one truly grasp the essence throughout the process of interpretation.
II. The realm of principle is self-illuminating; does the realm of ether possess sufficient energy?
Revelation: The Realm of Ethereal Heaven: It does not possess self-illuminating essence, yet retains its inherent substance. Thus, it is merely adorned with "yellow silk ribbons," which serve as the primary tools employed in the ethereal realm for traversing the celestial skies.
Third, if cultivation is undertaken from the phenomenal realm, when the self-illuminating energy is fully attained, the path of return follows: phenomenal realm → energetic realm → noumenal realm, or how can one directly return to the noumenal realm?
The Sacred Revelation states: Normally, one must return from the realm of form to the realm of energy, and then return to the realm of principle—this is the correct path! However, if one has a special duty or mission, it is possible to directly transcend from the realm of form back to the realm of principle.
跋、凡例
##Void and Boundless Old Mother of Mount Li
序言、讚賀、頌日
Homage to the Tathagata of Sentient Beings’ Praise,  
Amitabha Sutra, Avalokitesvara.
The Buddha records the boundless path in the scriptures,  
Descending to transform and open the causes and conditions of virtue.
The karmic causes and conditions bestowed by the Heavenly Principle.
The descent of the primordial spirit from the Wuji Realm of Principle is driven by a profound cause and condition, sustained by the "self-generated luminous energy" of one's own being. It is precisely because one possesses the provisions endowed by the Wuji Realm of Principle that growth is possible. Without the provisions to return to the Wuji Realm of Principle for maturation, one would be unable to achieve greater growth and benefit in the future.
It is precisely because of the karma of descending to the mortal realm that, when all sentient beings are unable to comprehend why they have descended into the mundane world through this karma, they come to realize that their own energy inherently possesses a "self-illuminating" quality. How can there be a dividing line between "fullness and dissolution," and why does such a distinction exist?
Transformation Below—this precisely distinguishes between "pure defilement" and "impure defilement," as well as the difference between "defiled purity" and "defiled impurity." If in the past one could have truly benefited from understanding pure defilement, one would not have descended into the realm of qi. Moreover, within the realm of qi, it is experienced as: being able to absorb air for survival!
The Reason for Benevolent Guidance
By analyzing the causes and conditions accomplished through the realm of qi, it is essential to fully possess within oneself both "blessings and wisdom" in order to navigate the energies generated by the realm of qi, integrating all processes of dependent existence. This is achieved through: understanding all functions of the realm of qi, and immersing oneself in mutual integration with the realm of qi to attain accomplishment.
To establish one's survival in the realm of qi, it is essential to clearly understand whether the atmosphere generated by this realm possesses compatibility. If such compatibility is lacking, it may lead to a rejection of the atmosphere, fundamentally depriving oneself of the mutually beneficial conditions necessary for survival.
Through the absorption function of the Qi Heaven Realm, the original spirits of sentient beings can merge and descend to exist in the Qi Realm. It is precisely due to the lack of such conditions that they are further demoted to survive in the Phenomenal Realm. Therefore, descending and transforming is a process that all original spirits of sentient beings aspire to and rely upon. In the context of the sentient world, when viewed from the human world, what is necessary?
Human beings must possess the capacity for absorption.
It is precisely because of the existence of oxygen and carbon dioxide that inhalation serves as the primary function for survival. Without inhaling oxygen, all species inhabiting the Earth's planetary system would be unable to survive, let alone grow. This confirms one thing: for the Earth's planetary system, the presence of "oxygen and carbon dioxide" is essential!
Only then can it facilitate the absorption function towards all living beings, providing sentient beings with the very breath that sustains their existence. Without a single breath, one becomes a lifeless corpse—this is the condition bestowed upon them. Therefore, all living beings in the sentient world cannot survive in the human realm if they lack oxygen and carbon dioxide.
If in the realm of qi, there would be no need for the function of absorption; one must survive by absorbing all that is exhaled, and through the continuation of the substance of "self-luminous energy," one can endure. Thus, part of the substance grows, and when the "self-luminous energy" becomes more abundant, one will surely be able to travel directly through the universe.
The world distinguishes between purity and defilement.
Within the vast cosmos, if one lacks the capacity to traverse the celestial realms, it is precisely due to a deficiency in the continuous energy of self-illumination. For all immortals and buddhas of the great celestial realms, the question arises: can they possess this self-illuminating energy? If such energy is insufficient, it invariably affects the ability to journey through the cosmic heavens. This marks the boundary between ascension and descent.
Karma—is further subdivided into two types: "pure defilement" and "impure defilement." It is essential to understand why pure defilement can exist. This is precisely because the self-illuminating energy inherently possesses the capacity for clarity, meaning that what can be understood as pure defilement relies on taking responsibility for oneself. Sentient beings and original spirits can say: all possess the same inherent nature as immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, holy deities, and exalted beings.
Without distinguishing the differences between you and me, impartiality, selflessness, and equality arise as the primary causes and conditions. This lies in whether the energy of "purity and defilement" is fully present or not. Those who can attain accomplishment through "purity" will surely be endowed with the "self-illuminating energy." But what can be done if one is shrouded in the dust of "defilement"?
Opportunities in time and space are fleeting.
It is precisely through the dissipation of "self-energy radiance" that gradually, there is no longer sufficient self-energy to sustain. This differentiation, born from contamination, if separated into "pure contamination" and "defiled contamination," represents precisely the distinction between ascent and descent. This is the entire process of existence in the human world.
Causality—again, it is distinguished by "pure defilement" and "impure defilement." This is a known concept regarding "defilement and purity" versus "defilement and impurity," which essentially separates ascent from descent. Often, one is compelled by helplessness yet remains clear-sighted, yet unable to make adjustments. Instead, one may believe that in the future, there will be another opportunity to transcend.
However, many fail to realize that the transformations brought about by the passage of time and space lie precisely in the interplay of causes, conditions, and space—a fleeting process that vanishes in an instant. If one fails to seize the rare and precious opportunities in the present moment, yet hopes to achieve something when similar conditions arise again in the future, such expectations are as futile as climbing a tree to catch fish. This kind of longing stems precisely from a lack of sufficient causes and conditions.
The essence of reincarnation is transformation.
Sentient beings are precisely like this: they indulge and nurture their own flaws, and forgive themselves. Moreover, they cannot allow themselves to establish a foundation for growth or rely on it. As for the causes and conditions that have already vanished, how could they possibly be recreated anew? It is fundamentally impossible! Within the cycles of time and space and the universal principles, such causes and conditions are exceedingly rare!
This is why sentient beings are unable to grasp and control themselves, and why causes and conditions are fleeting—precisely for this reason! Therefore, the transformation of causes and conditions is also directed toward oneself, distinguished by "tainted purity" and "tainted defilement." It is through "tainted purity" and "tainted defilement" that all growth unfolds from different perspectives within the vast universe.
Sentient beings descend into the earthly realm, which marks a boundary for self-transformation and ascension, yet also initiates a cycle of descent and reincarnation. Without thoroughly understanding the true nature of reincarnation, one can never truly become the master of oneself in the present moment. Instead, one will remain trapped, perpetually swirling within the vortex of cyclical existence.
The distinction in the human world lies in the division between purity and defilement.
If one can clearly understand the distinction between "purity and defilement," and even more so, the difference between "pure defilement and impure defilement," then in a single lifetime, one can create the conditions for achieving benefit. If the efficacy is even more certain, one can be enriched with both "wisdom and merit," thereby fulfilling responsibility toward oneself within that very lifetime.
Sentient beings fundamentally cannot clearly comprehend why, despite accumulating so many merits, they ultimately remain unable to return to the realm of qi, the Western Pure Land, or the Heaven of Ultimate Principle. This lies precisely in the distinction within the eighth consciousness between "purity and defilement" and "defiled purity and defiled impurity"—a subtlety that ordinary beings cannot truly grasp!
How can one adhere to the "Middle Way" without deviation? Moreover, sentient beings and original spirits can, in the present moment, benefit in advance from the resources intended for entry into the "Maitreya Pure Land" in the future, as truthfully documented in the 'Dadao Series Celestial Books.' If one fails to allow oneself to benefit, they will repeatedly cycle through obstacles; may this be hoped for! May this be hoped for!
Purity and defilement distinguish ascent and descent;  
Filth and contamination are obstacles that cause sinking.
Purity and defilement are achieved within oneself; defilement entangles one in the cycle of suffering.
The cause and condition of the Limitless Heaven of Principle,  
Descend to transform the mortal world with boundless virtue.
Clarity in ascent and descent, self-luminous energy manifests.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement: one should take responsibility for one's own future path, rather than merely cycling repeatedly through the mundane world. For the mundane world is precisely where the dust of defilement accumulates. Do you not believe it? Consider why, after daily washing (bathing), one still feels a layer of white, earthy substance—this is the accumulation of grime and defilement!
When the body is clean, can this reduce the causes of defilement and achieve purity? It is essential to strive diligently for upward growth, transcendence, and return! After lingering a while longer, we shall return to the Western World. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

## The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, Limitless as the Void
序言、讚賀、頌日
The primordial reverence of the heart begins as one,  
The Holy Emperor of Two Passes descends in solemn rite.
Ascending the platform, we gather with all virtuous scholars, alerting those unaware in this age of decadence.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, it is Amitabha Buddha who descends to compose "The Great Tao Without Limits – Chapter 35: Spreading Causes and Conditions." This chapter follows the previous one, "Original Spirits of the Heavenly Principle," and continues to provide verification, elevating understanding through the coherence of the entire "Great Tao Series."
Even the truly enlightened faculties, if they cannot comprehend the Great Dao, are merely "scattered fragments," incapable of truly grasping the suffering of samsara in the human world. Everyone believes that in this world, after this life ends, there will still be opportunities in the next life to achieve something. Is that not so?
It is precisely because opportunities are fleeting and easily lost. If one does not know how to cherish and strive, and fails to ascend and transcend in this lifetime, how can one hope for such a rare and precious opportunity in the next? If fate allows, one may encounter wise mentors to aid in achievement; if fate does not, even forceful pursuit will yield nothing.

## The Supreme Mother of the Void, the Limitless Earthly Sovereign
序言、讚賀、頌日
The Southern Continent embraces the Great Way,  
Where the supreme truth is cherished by all.
The Medicine Buddha descends with a compassionate heart,  
Returning to the vehicle that transcends and perfects the fruition of merit.
The Wuji Principle is the origin of all transformations and the source of all spirits in the world.
Sentient beings and primordial spirits come to grow, for it is only amidst the myriad living beings of the vast cosmos that they may encounter causes and conditions. Thus, "pure contamination and defiled contamination" are distinguished from "contaminated purity and contaminated defilement." By cultivating their own luminous energy bodies, they may attain the state of "perfect and complete fulfillment." In this way, they will surely be able to ride upon and transcend the great path of return!
It is essential to have a genuine foundation for one's own growth and elevation, enabling oneself to achieve realization within the great Dao's causes and conditions. Through the efficacy of one's own "purification of defilements and defilement of purity," one can truthfully attain a guiding function, which genuinely manifests the energy of one's own being.
Return—this means relying on one's own reserves of resources and energy. Within the planetary systems of Earth, how can one ensure that one's own energy truly possesses a sufficient source of sustenance? In the interplay between "the function of purity and defilement" and "the achievements born of defilement and purity" within oneself, there must be such a foundation of reliance in order to foster growth.
To undertake elevation, transformation, and purification.
Among sentient beings, there often exists a state of helplessness and profound unwillingness. Though fully aware of their own shortcomings, they are compelled by dire circumstances—for survival, for livelihood—to repeatedly betray their innate spiritual essence. This descent into degradation is driven by the "stains and defilements" of the human world.
Moreover, one may clearly understand the conditions and causes for ascension, yet often lack the means to construct such a path. How, then, can one take responsibility for the future? Without a true pathway for growth and reliance, and without the resolve to achieve genuine accomplishment, one sinks deeper into the turbid and evil world of the five impurities. This is indeed the sorrow of sentient beings!
Return—it can indeed be said: to achieve oneself is to return to the primary resources of the original foundation! However, those capable of fulfilling the conditions for return must be able to clearly understand how purification functions in the human world. Moreover, for sentient beings, it is often possible to discern how purification occurs, and through the cultural learning imparted by religions, such conditions ought to be present.
However, what truly constitutes the opportunity for return? It is precisely because one cannot grasp the true conditions for return that one achieves it through the process of worldly experience, making one's inherent nature the master. This is driven by "habits, inertia, innate nature, and personality," which influence the process and can shape all future conditions for existence.
Return, Transcend, Fulfill, and Surpass
It is precisely this that prevents one from achieving the conditions for transcendence within the human realm; instead, it becomes an obstacle to oneself, further hindering the transcendence required to return to the Heavenly Realm of Haotian or the Realm of Ultimate Principle, or the Western Pure Land. This is a common undertaking among sentient beings in the human world, which, paradoxically, obstructs their own upward growth.
The Condition for Transcendence—One must first achieve personal fulfillment, and then return to fulfill and perfect all sentient beings. Through one's own fulfillment, one must also enrich all primordial spirits. Only then can one facilitate the opportunity for ascension and return within the vast cosmos. Moreover, when the conditions for return have ripened, what then?
However, in terms of opportunity, sentient beings are well aware that the conditions for "return" are exceptionally rare and auspicious—truly something that can be encountered but not sought. Yet, they often fail to grasp such conditions, unable to transform them into opportunities. Moreover, they are frequently incapable of seizing these opportunities to achieve their own fulfillment.
Returning to the perfection of conditions for transcendence, it is precisely a cause and effect for sentient beings to choose and abandon by themselves, serving as the dividing point between ascent and descent. Let us apply a bit more mindfulness, for only then can we grow through diligence. This is precisely taking responsibility for oneself, and growth can be achieved from this very moment.
Have faith, zeal, patience, and unity.
Moreover, by utilizing such resources to achieve one's own fulfillment, one can not only pursue the higher aspirations within oneself but also guide sentient beings toward the path of transcendence and return. This is the condition of "having all that is needed when put to use." It is also a step-by-step, footprint-by-footprint journey that requires utmost dedication to become the master of one's own transcendence, rather than being merely hindered by the demands of daily life.
Furthermore, if one leaves no room for oneself and remains entirely bound, can one then transcend? No! Therefore, in transcending, it is about affirming one's own capabilities. It is precisely because of the confidence that drives progress that one can develop an interest in learning and move forward. It is through the process of learning that one can achieve the differentiation in the function of "understanding through interest."
It is essential to be driven by "faith," guided by "enthusiasm," and supported by "patience." Through continuous learning and growth, both for oneself and for all beings, one can gradually elevate step by step through personal effort, ultimately achieving fulfillment!
Rather than leaving oneself without genuine clarity and the driving force of interest, it is essential to ground one's future achievements in the present by integrating these three qualities: "faith, passion, and patience." By combining them, one ensures that the conditions for future growth will not overlook one's efforts, and everything will unfold with utmost authenticity.
Faith, zeal, and patience must be combined.
Achieving Perfection—this means that in the present moment, one must dissolve all negative dispositions and innate tendencies, thereby reducing the influence of defilement and impurity. Only then can one progress toward growth in purity, free from sinking into contamination. It requires "persistence in faith" coupled with "enthusiasm for fulfillment" to foster "diligence through patience."
When these three mindsets converge, it would be strange indeed not to achieve success! In the Chongxin lineage, this is precisely a great lineage of the Way: one of right equality, right enlightenment, right faith, and right mindfulness. With such grand objectives and directions already established, all that remains is to strive diligently oneself, to reach a state of firm resolve that overcomes and dissolves any difficulty.
Not only does it allow oneself to transform and transcend conditions, bestowing benefits upon oneself, but it also enables the virtuous influence to extend to all sentient beings. This is not merely spoken in words; it is a firm commitment to accomplish the task with unwavering resolve. If you do not believe it, you may strive to try it for yourself, allowing your own efforts to achieve this realization! The immortals and buddhas never speak in vain!
Thus, within the Chongxin lineage, one can establish a great cause and a foundation of profound virtue, which serves to pave the way for a smooth and prosperous future. Moreover, it offers oneself a vehicle for ascension and return. It is essential to maintain unwavering determination and diligent effort in order to achieve the elevation, transcendence, and ultimate fulfillment of this ascent.
Perfection in cultivation is the key to transcendence.
Perfection—it is precisely through the act of fulfillment that one’s own inherent energy can be realized via the interplay of "purification from defilement and defilement from purification." To be capable of such an act of fulfillment, one must first be able to grant oneself greater resources. And because abundant resources are fully present, it is thereby possible for all to possess the inexhaustible "blessings and wisdom."
Only then can one ensure that in the future, numerous virtuous causes and conditions will arise, providing genuine support for one's own ascension and transcendence. This not only allows for the care of sentient beings but also enables one to truly surpass through abundant actions. It is essential to possess such resources in full measure.
Granting oneself passage through the trials and verifications of Heaven allows one to cultivate the foundation for "self-illuminating energy in full possession." To smoothly transcend the limitations imposed by Earth's planetary system is to achieve liberation from the three-dimensional space, to fulfill the conditions for downward transformation, and to attain accomplishment through perfection.
Perfect conditions, free from selfish intent,  
Transcend causes and conditions, inevitably aligned.
Abundant resources can be fully attained,  
The perfect return is arriving as scheduled.
The Great Dao is boundless and complete;  
Thirty-six cycles attest to Heavenly Virtue.
Celestial immortals and Buddhas descend to bestow their grace,  
Together they accomplish the transcendence of all sentient beings.
This verse! Let us study it together with all sentient beings; carefully contemplate it within "The Infinite Great Dao," a work that began with the first chapter and has now completed thirty-six chapters. Throughout this entire process, it has undergone the diligent efforts of celestial immortals and buddhas descending to impart it, culminating in a perfect achievement. To reach the state of fullness and completeness, one must undergo the experience of "the energy of self-illumination."
To be filled within oneself is what enables the role of ascending, returning, and purification. One must truly and clearly comprehend the functions of "purifying defilement and defiling purity," and further discard "stains of defilement and defiled stains." Only then can one possess abundant resources for growth. May all sentient beings clearly understand what they strive for!
The illumination of future self-sufficient energy is precisely about achieving personal fulfillment through transcendence, returning to a state of abundance! Thank you all for your hard work and patience during this brief interruption. I shall now return to the Eastern world. Farewell!

Limitless, selfless, and without complaint,
The Three Passes Sage Emperor ascends the platform.
The Thirty-Sixth Return of the Limitless Great Dao:  
The Completion of the Work Reveals the Truth.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, Namo Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World has descended to compose "The Great Dao Without Limits, Chapter 36: Returning and Ascending Beyond." What is elucidated here is a thorough and precise analysis of the action of achieving perfection and fulfillment, enabling sentient beings to ascend beyond.
It also enables sentient beings to clearly understand that the meaning conveyed in "The Great Dao is Boundless" is precisely through the causes and conditions bestowed by the boundless realm of principle from above. It allows all living beings to undergo the trials and tribulations of the human world, thereby dissolving the obstacles of reincarnation, while also ascending and transforming within the realm of improvement. This represents a genuine and truthful path of growth for oneself.
To clearly understand the helplessness of sentient beings! It is often the betrayal of one’s own spiritual essence that causes one to sink into the defiled world of the five impurities. Under such circumstances, if one remains trapped for a long, long time in the swirling vortex of samsara, how could there ever be a day of liberation? Indeed, there is not!
One must possess "faith, fervor, and patience." When these three hearts unite, they accomplish self-realization and also benefit all sentient beings. If you doubt it, try it yourself. If you diligently apply these for three months within the Chongxin lineage, many new forces will surely join our ranks! Recognize the importance of "faith, fervor, and patience." Strive! Strive!

##Lord of the Southern Heaven, Sage Emperor Wén Héng
The Void and Infinite descends upon us,  
Guided by the compassionate Mother of Mount Li.
The Great Dao is boundless, and the completion of this work is a virtuous cause.
Postscript I
In this world, the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" can accomplish great things. Through the diligent efforts of numerous divine beings, the dissemination of these celestial texts can yield substantial effects, enabling sentient beings and primordial spirits to elevate themselves. Moreover, through the educational and cultural aspects of religion, they can achieve even greater growth and reliance.
This can be said: the virtue and mercy of Heaven are omnipresent. But whether the original souls of sentient beings in the mortal world can achieve greater accomplishments depends on the choices made within the human realm where they live. Only through virtuous growth and elevation can one truly attain transcendence and return. There remains much room for further effort!
The purpose of the postscript is to elevate a book from the Celestial Series by utilizing all learning processes in the human world as resources for ascension and transcendence. Without the ability to "emit light from one's own energy," true ascension and transcendence cannot be achieved. Furthermore, within the vast universe, all religions can serve as courses for downward transmission.
Only through the transformative power bestowed by Heaven can one truly attain accomplishment. This is not something that can be achieved by ordinary celestial writings. Moreover, the profound truths elucidated in the "Dadao Series" represent the most abundant resources bestowed by Heaven upon the mortal world, benefiting the growth of all virtuous fruits.
If sentient beings and primordial spirits cannot, in the present moment, attain the transcendent causes and conditions for a truer ascent, they will be unable to achieve a great transcendence within this very lifetime. This is made possible through the compassion of Heaven and the celestial Buddhas, who transform and fulfill, precisely in the hope that all sentient primordial spirits may return and accomplish the great transcendence.
Deeply moved! The fact that Chongxin can produce the "Dadao Series" works is precisely because it has received the great virtue and grace bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the mortal world. Moreover, as a superior "Heavenly Voice Transmitter," only thus can it achieve such construction and opportunity. We should strive to practice diligently, widely guiding more sentient original spirit beings to return to the Wuji and Void Heaven Realms.

From the Void and Infinite descends the Sacred Heart; upon the Jasper Terrace, a gathering of kindred spirits ascends.
The Benevolent Virtue of the Golden Mother  
An Introduction to the Boundless Great Dao
Postscript Two
The function of the postscript—is to demonstrate that a series of heavenly scriptures, through their profound composition, have earned the esteem and affirmation of the celestial immortals and buddhas of the Highest Heavens. This achievement is realized only through extensive effort. Moreover, the devoted sons and daughters of Chongxin have united in purpose, collectively working to disseminate the virtuous grace of the great Dao on behalf of the Highest Heavens. This marks the first occurrence of such an endeavor in millennia.
Within the Confucian tradition and sacred teachings, it is rare to find works that transcend and excel in such a manner! This is also because, in the past, heavenly texts were often limited to one or a few volumes with limited continuity. Seldom has there been such a coherent series of heavenly texts capable of descending and transforming, while further elucidating the boundless grace and compassion of Heaven.
This is not a condition that ordinary individuals can attain for ascension. It is precisely through the selection across 350 great kalpas that such a pillar of talent, endowed with this rare karmic opportunity, emerges. Only those with such exceptional qualities possess the remarkable "Celestial Sound Transmission," a condition exceedingly rare in the human world, and a unique honor bestowed solely upon Chongxin.
Affirmation of the Epilogue: All the immortals and Buddhas of the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang" and their children are united in heart, striving for the eternal transcendence of themselves and all original souls. They have truthfully surpassed the technological civilization of the 21st century, initiated the true dissemination and promotion of the Great Dao, and have also revealed heavenly secrets that have not been disclosed for thousands of years.
All are elucidated within the heavenly texts of the "Great Dao Series," which serve not only to nurture the present generation of children but also to cultivate the thinking and perspectives of all deities in the mortal realm. This is bestowed through the compassion of Heaven above, made possible by the unwavering dedication of the revered deities and Buddhas of Chongxin, along with the children, thereby creating this opportunity and affinity for achievement.
The mother's heart is greatly comforted, for having devout hearts, the Buddhas and deities, together with all sons and daughters, strive together to become the "Vanguard of the Great Dao" for Heaven. It is precisely through self-cultivation and self-harvesting that the best evidence of seeking above and transforming below is provided, offering sentient beings the opportunity to truly benefit and achieve great virtuous rewards.

The Void and the Infinite arise from a single source;  
The Earth Mother’s compassion bestows grace and virtue.
The Supreme Lady protects all sentient beings,  
With compassionate care, she guides wandering souls back to the heavenly path.
Colophon III
The affirmation of this postscript is for the Yichongxintang, regarding the celestial texts authored in the Da Dao series, which can be said to be unparalleled in the world within Jambudvīpa! Moreover, it is the first time in thousands of years that the resources of the evolution of heaven and earth, the evolution of the Wuji, and the evolution of the void have been disseminated, surpassing the technological civilization of the present era.
Having now entered a different realm of temporal and spatial rotation, if we still rely on ancient written records and wish to enable the children of this era to achieve such transcendence, it would be impossible! This is because, in the present moment, it is through the transmission of technological electronic communication and information (visual media) that the truths of events thousands of miles away can be analyzed and understood.
In Praise of the Epilogue—Regarding the works published by the Yichi Chongxin Hall in recent years, through the unwavering dedication of the virtuous disciple Li Bi, who persevered in composing and expanding the teachings, one can truly appreciate the immense hardships endured throughout this journey of time. Over the seven years since the establishment of Chongxin Hall, the works produced, along with the two foundational volumes, *The Heart Lamp of the Great Dao* and *The Heavenly Virtue of the Great Dao*, form a continuous extension of all the writings.
This opportunity and return are precisely what the Heavenly Father hopes for all His children: that they may personally participate, and even more so, witness the true return of the Great Dao’s unfolding. It is through transcending one’s own energy body and genuinely elevating through purification that this process can be authentically manifested before all children via technological civilization.
It can be verified that as time and space vary, the methods applied also differ, thereby allowing authenticity to emerge. Moreover, because the Great Dao manifests itself across eras of changing times and spaces, this opportunity of karmic affinity, through the compassionate grace of the Supreme Heaven and all celestial immortals and Buddhas, enables transcendence and return—this is what is hoped for by all beings as their mother.

The Void and Infinity descend to the mortal realm,  
The virtue and will of the Heavenly Queen Mother are borne aloft.
The Compassionate Lady protects heaven and earth,  
The Great Dao, boundless, opens its universal path.
Editorial Principles
I. The Great Dao: It is observed that among all sentient beings and original spirits in the mundane world, those capable of transcendence can, within a single lifetime, rectify all past mistakes and sins. This is a natural alignment with one’s own choices—determining whether to ascend toward growth or descend into degradation—and is fundamentally a matter of personal decision.
II. The Wuji (Ultimateless): This refers to the sublime realm of the Principle Heaven, from which all transformations originate and to which all return. To seize this pivotal opportunity, it is essential that all children of the Way, in the present moment, propel themselves toward a broader temporal and spatial dimension of growth, thereby creating the cause and condition for a transcendent return. This is the correct path!
III. "The Great Dao Without Bounds": It takes the transcendent realm of the Principle Heaven as its foundation and vehicle, enabling clear comprehension of all religions within the mundane world of phenomena. It serves as an educational and cultural curriculum, allowing all children to truly experience the effects of returning, ascending, and purification.
IV. The Dadao Series: All works, from the first volume *The Heart-Lamp of Dadao* to the fifteenth volume *The Boundless Dadao* to date, elucidate the true principles, which are substantiated by the cycles of heaven and earth and the law of cause and effect in the human realm. Aligned with the cognitive functions of all children in the present era, this enables attainment and transcendence.
V. The Celestial Texts of the Great Dao Series: These texts interlink and mutually fulfill the authenticity of the evolutionary processes among Heaven and Earth, Haotian, Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmos. They are bestowed upon all children, enabling them to obtain the resources of the Supreme Heaven. This embodies the great compassion and virtuous grace of the celestial immortals and Buddhas toward all sentient original spirits, which should be realized and understood.
Six. The Dadao Series Classics: They are capable of connecting vertically and horizontally, interlinking across volumes without omitting any single book in the continuity. This seamless coherence provides all children in the mortal world with the opportunity to absorb and grow through these connections, turning them into the conditions for achievement and return, thereby transforming them into opportunities.
VII. The works of the Dadao series: Through deliberation between the Void and the Wuji, they have become the principal karmic vehicle for descending teachings. This is not merely an ordinary celestial scripture for dissemination; rather, it expounds upon the evolutionary functions of Heaven and Earth, Haotian, Wuji, and the Void, enabling the Great Dao to be realized and truly descend into the human world for the benefit of all.
VIII. The works compiled in the fifteenth volume of the Dadao series utilize the resources of the celestial realm of principles, employing the technological civilization of the present era—specifically, the "self-generating luminous energy resource"—as a vehicle for transcendence. Can one truly comprehend and gain clarity, or will it remain but a superficial understanding? If one fails to fully grasp the compassionate grace and virtuous blessings bestowed by Heaven through its causal connections, what recourse remains?
Nine. What is the vision of all children? If it is very superficial and unaware of the "treasure," then it will be fleeting in time and space, and rare will be the chance to hope for such a cause and condition again! It is not composed at the level of ordinary spiritual communication; it is essential to clearly understand the supreme and authentic nature of the "Abhidharma" function, which is indeed exceedingly rare!
Ten. The fifteenth volume of the Dadao series, *The Boundless Great Dao*, is nearing completion, as all writings gradually approach their conclusion. It is through the grace of the Heavenly Realm that the "treasures" of the void and the boundless have been bestowed upon the human world. It is hoped that all children of the Dao may truly comprehend "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of practice." Only in this way can one align with their own karmic conditions and achieve greater harvests.
Eleven. "The Great Dao is Boundless": This work has been completed through the compassionate guidance of higher-level immortals and sages from the heavens. Moreover, by engaging with the karmic connections of sages, immortals, and buddhas involved in its creation, it becomes clear that "The Great Dao is Boundless" is composed from a higher perspective, offering a fresh viewpoint rooted in a new technological civilization.
Twelve, The Great Tao Series: Each volume of the celestial texts in all works is guarded by auspicious deities. It is hoped that they will be cherished with great care and never defiled, for this is the proper way! Furthermore, by accepting the blessings and opportunities bestowed by Heaven, one may reap rewards. In contemplating and constructing the thoughts contained within, there is no distinction made among the essential teachings of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and other religions.
Thirteen, "The Great Dao is Boundless": As the book is soon to be published, it is hoped that all children can unite in heart to support the noble endeavors of publishing, sponsoring, preaching, circulating, and distributing it. The heavens will bestow blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, honor, and auspiciousness based on the hard work and effort each person contributes. Let us join hearts and exert our utmost efforts to propagate "The Great Dao is Boundless" through action.
The Queen Mother of the West descends from the Void and Infinite Heavenly Realm to establish the sacred example on earth.

Lord Wenheng, Sovereign of the Southern Heaven,  
Grand Chairman of the Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary.
The Great Dao is boundless, beyond all mortal examples. The Heavenly Mothers descend to impart the sacred truths.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today marks another rare and auspicious opportunity for the Chongxin lineage, as the Four Great Heavenly Mothers have descended upon Chongxin. This moment, in relation to the composition of the "Preface and Introduction," serves as a pivotal juncture to elevate and interconnect all the karmic threads within *The Great Dao Without Extremes*.
In this rare opportunity to understand the divine mysteries, the Chongxin lineage is able to compose the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" and further propagate them across the world. This offers genuine benefits and efficacy for all sentient primordial spirits. Whether to accept or reject this opportunity is a choice each must make for themselves, and through this choice, each achieves their own fulfillment. May all carefully appreciate the compassionate grace of Heaven and transcend through it.
Today, the esteemed Mothers and deities have graced us with their presence. Although we have not formally welcomed them according to protocol, this is only to avoid disturbing the peace of the mortal realm and the fatigue of the many celestial beings. It is solely for the sake of promoting the "Joint Conference" of the Chongxin lineage in the future. It is hoped that all students of this lineage will refrain from making noise or behaving discourteously. If there are no other official matters, you may proceed with all scheduled courses. Thank you all for your hard work!

It commands the dispatch of our lineage’s Immortal Maidens of Void-Colored Rosy Clouds, Void-Colored Blossoms, and Void-Colored Spirits to welcome the Sacred Decree from Wuji to the hall from thirty miles away.
By decree, the following immortals of our lineage are dispatched to receive the carriage twenty li away: the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Assembly, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Intent, and the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Communion. They shall reverently welcome the Sacred Decree of the Wuji to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, virtuous disciples, and cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Institute shall likewise arrange themselves in order of precedence, awaiting the carriage with due decorum, ensuring no breach of protocol.
Wuji, selfless, without bias or contradiction,
Descending before the chariot, riding clouds to the mortal realm.
The Immortal Ma came to deliver the sacred decree, and the deputy seat of the Chongxin Daoist Temple returned.
By imperial decree, the sacred mandate from the Wuji has descended upon this lineage to be promulgated. All deities and mortals, bow in reverence!
An Imperial Decree is to be read aloud.
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, and among all the teachings of the religions in Jambudvipa, She holds the greatest appreciation. Thus, She bestows a profound and auspicious affinity, destined to be passed down through countless generations, allowing it to flourish in the mortal world—a truly joyous and commendable blessing. Yet, since the descent of sentient beings and spirits into the mundane realm, it has remained difficult to genuinely achieve and elevate both "the nature of the heart and the nature of the spirit."
Moreover, even encountering the very means of daily survival upon which they depend, they often betray their own spiritual essence. Thus, the more the virtues of heaven and earth descend, the deeper the human world sinks into depravity, causing the Mother's heart to weep and lament profoundly! It grieves for the deficiencies in today's education and culture, and for the degradation of human nature!
The heavens observed this readjustment and, in relation to Taiwan and the Divine Land, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains have achieved even greater advancement in the sacred mission of enlightenment. Now, with the compassionate decree of the Mother's heart, Chongxintang, since its establishment in the year of Bingzi, has embarked on the compilation of the Great Tao series of celestial texts. Through the elevation of the "Treatise Treasury," it expounds upon the essence of Buddhism.
Furthermore, annotations have been made on the guiding principles of Confucianism and Taoism, while also drawing upon the universal love and purity of Christianity and Islam as foundations. This has now culminated in the completion of the fifteenth volume of the Dadao series, "The Boundless Great Dao," which fulfills its ultimate purpose. Together, all deities and Buddhas of Chongxin, along with their devoted followers, unite in heart and effort to serve as the "vanguard of the Great Dao" for Heaven, promoting its profound teachings.
My heart is greatly comforted! To witness the completion of the work *The Great Dao Is Boundless*, it is evident that Chongxin’s unwavering determination and resolve to overcome all difficulties are truly moving! As a special reward, I bestow two jars of "Boundless Nectar"—one for the deities and buddhas of Chongxin, and the other for all the children, in recognition of their dedication as pioneers of the Great Dao, which will faithfully serve as a vehicle for future transcendence.
The Imperial Mother of the Wuji issues a sacred decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the twenty-sixth day of the Eleventh Month in the Guiwei year of the Tianyun cycle, during the Hour of the Dog.
Excellent! The sacred decree has been fully proclaimed. Congratulations to our lineage, for yet another duty has been fulfilled. All the efforts of the deities, Buddhas, and virtuous disciples have certainly not been in vain! You have all worked hard, and it is only fitting to bow in gratitude for the gracious rewards bestowed by the Holy Mother. This brings me great comfort! As your mentor, I shall now swiftly return to the Celestial Realm of the Ultimate to report the completion of this mission. Farewell!
The great virtue of the Dao is selfless and impartial;  
The Wuji is inherently pure, illuminating the realm of principle.
Complete a heavenly book volume,  
Return the decree and descend to the world to receive the volume.
Today marks the completion and submission of the fifteenth volume of our sect’s Great Dao series, "The Boundless Great Dao," and it is also a highly auspicious and celebratory occasion. Through the collective efforts of all the deities, Buddhas, and virtuous disciples of our sect, we have achieved the results we see today. From the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, it is a blessing that within the Confucian Sacred Teaching, the works of the Great Dao series have been accomplished.
It is precisely due to such a remarkably profound and great cause, combined with the convergence of various divine powers, human efforts, and material resources for its propagation, that it not only serves as a testament to the transformative role of future technological civilization among the achievements of the 21st century, but also offers genuine and comprehensive benefits to sentient beings of the present era in their journey toward the future.
Today, having first reverently received the descent of the Wuji Imperial Decree into the hall, which has now concluded, it is appropriate to proceed with the reverent reception of the Haotian Jade Decree, to be issued in the hall. It is commanded that three venerable deities of our lineage—the Celestial Worthy of Heavenly Transmission, the Celestial Worthy of Heavenly Brushwork, and the Celestial Worthy of Golden Brush Enlightenment—shall respectfully receive the Jade Decree twenty li away and bring it to the hall for proclamation.
It is decreed that the following three from our sect lineage: the Great Dao Celestial Venerable of the Void and Silver Brush, the Soaring Dragon Celestial Venerable of the Void, and the Virtue-Transmitting Dao Celestial Venerable of the Void, shall respectfully receive the Jade Decree at a distance of ten li and escort it to the hall. All other deities, Buddhas, virtuous disciples, and the cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy shall also line up in order and await the arrival, ensuring no breach of etiquette.

The Great Heavenly Lord of Jade, the Supreme Emperor of Mysterious Spirit, proclaims in His Jade Decree:
As the supreme sovereign, I take it upon myself to elevate all teachings, cultures, and sentient beings, including the celestial immortals and buddhas, by wielding the authority to promote or demote all sages, deities, and enlightened beings. This is to bestow upon them greater virtuous causes and conditions, enabling their ascent and transcendence.
Granting greater, more abundant, and richer resources for growth—now that the era has changed, time and space have shifted, and the environment has transformed, the teachings for all original spirit beings should also be different. What I bestow upon all sentient original spirit beings is precisely an infinite and immeasurable source of sustenance!
Whenever there is a legitimate need for transcendence, those entrusted with duties and missions will be appointed to fulfill their responsibilities completely. Now, however, religions across the world are regressing further and further. This situation arises because the times have changed, the circumstances have shifted, and educational and cultural approaches should likewise evolve accordingly.
My heart rejoices! With the recommendation of the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, Guan Qing, and under the grace of the Heavenly Emperor, the works to be composed by the Yichongxin Hall in Taoyuan, Taiwan, under the maternal decree, will be profoundly truthful. Moreover, they shall be grounded in genuine principles, align with the present era, and uphold the ethical foundations of the past!
It has played an even greater role in elevation, and now the completion of the "Dadao Series" works, totaling fifteen volumes of *The Limitless Great Dao*, has been accomplished and submitted as intended. For all sentient original spirit beings, this serves as the fundamental cause for upward elevation, providing them with a basis for future reliance and return: the Celestial Ladder of the Great Dao. This can truly be described as profoundly moving!
We commend the sincere efforts of all deities, Buddhas, and disciples of the Chongxin lineage, who have persevered through all difficulties to bring forth the return of the *Great Dao Celestial Ladder* for dissemination. This work truthfully presents the teachings, earning the appreciation, aspiration, and affirmation of the celestial immortals and Buddhas of the heavens, as well as all sentient beings in the mortal realm. It is our hope that this will be widely propagated.
This scene and sentiment are truly commendable, and it is fitting to inscribe such merits upon the celestial records. In the future, one will be able to verify them truthfully through the fruits of these accomplishments.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity, bestows the Jade Decree upon
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Court of the Ultimate, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the twenty-sixth day of the Eleventh Month in the Guiwei year of the Tianyun era, during the Hour of the Dog.
Aha! The Jade Decree has been proclaimed. This old immortal is fortunate indeed to have come to Chongxin to lend a hand. It is truly a cause for celebration that the Confucian Sacred Teaching—the Chongxin lineage—has produced works capable of benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings. This old immortal shall now take his leave, hurrying back to the Heavenly Court to report the fulfillment of the decree. Another day, I shall return to trouble you for a cup of wine. Farewell!
The esteemed Chairman of the Chongxin Taoist Temple, descending in solemn ceremony from the celestial realm of the Void.
The sage ascends the platform to deliver divine teachings;  
Gods and mortals toil to lay the foundation of virtue.
All Saints, Sages, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks another auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Lineage—one truly worthy of celebration. It is a day that allows every participating student and divine being to witness the favor and affirmation bestowed upon the Chongxin Lineage by the Heavens, as evidenced by the tangible achievements in its growth.
Receiving the "Outstanding" performance evaluation once again is a truly remarkable and heartening affinity! The Chongxin lineage possesses this steadfast sincerity and unwavering determination, which, combined with the resolve of the presiding leader—Patriarch Libi—to fulfill his duties with dedication, has led to such excellent achievements! Worthy of celebration! Worthy of praise!
Thank you all for your hard work today. Later, I will share the nectar with everyone. I hope that everyone will unite and strive as a collective, using the group as the foundation for future propagation. Whether through individual efforts or heroic actions, none should undermine the great unity of the Chongxin lineage. Is that understood? Farewell for now!
