Dadao Series — Book 16
English Edition · 大道昊天
◆ Prefaces ◆
The sixteenth volume of the Dadao series, *The Great Dao and Haotian*, explains that Haotian establishes the foundation for ascension and transcendence. This enables sentient beings to achieve elevation and surpass their limitations, while also allowing virtuous conduct to manifest in the human world. Furthermore, it permits beings to rely upon the divine will of Heaven, thereby transforming the merits and virtues accumulated in the mortal realm.
This can serve as proof to oneself, whether one is truly worthy of being validated by Heaven. It is essential to undergo all past experiences, to grow within the human world, and to rely on the virtues cultivated thereby—this is the true path. Moreover, how can such conditions be elucidated? They are forged through the virtues nurtured in the human world and preserved within the vast cosmos.
All humanity can perceive the vast azure sky as their ultimate refuge, and this azure sky is precisely what is fundamentally referred to as the Celestial Realm of Haotian. Through human perception, the celestial realm is observed, with the vast azure sky serving as its boundary, forming the celestial realm–Earth space visible to humanity. This is merely one celestial star system within the Celestial Realm of Haotian, and it is by no means the only celestial realm that exists!
Additionally, there are other realms: the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Heavenly Realms. Among these, there exists the Thirty-Threefold Heaven. However, the heavenly realm visible to the human world is merely one perceived by the naked eye. Under the jurisdiction of the Vast Heaven, there exist far, far too many heavenly realms—galactic systems that sentient beings cannot possibly comprehend.
All celestial administrative units are under the jurisdiction of the "Haotian" Heavenly Realm, which serves as the central administrative hub for all heavens. It is the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Honored One, jointly revered by the five major religions, who governs all celestial realms, all human beings, and oversees the responsibilities and sacred duties of promotion and demotion across all religions.
Thus, it not only encompasses all human races inhabiting the Earth's star system, as well as all living beings across the myriad realms, but also includes all primordial spirits of the underworld and the netherworld—all of which fall under the jurisdiction of the Haotian administrative unit. Moreover, all celestial realms are collectively referred to as the Haotian Central Hub, serving as the overarching administrative unit of the Great Haotian.
It is to allow all the sacred deities, immortals and Buddhas, exalted beings, and Bodhisattvas throughout the vast cosmos—encompassing all nations and religious sects—to bestow the virtuous grace of the heavens. This grace is precisely given to the multitude of sentient original spirit beings, enabling the human world to possess the Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants to follow, and providing the countless living beings of the vast world with the means to transcend.
It is within "filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, benevolence, wisdom, harmony, and peace" that the foundation of virtuous grace finds its anchor and expression. This represents a profound and authentic bestowal of great virtuous grace from above, which also serves as a dependable source of such grace. Thus, through the human world, it becomes essential to adopt this as the fundamental standard for all realms of human morality.
In the human world, one must fully embody the "Four Virtues, Eight Ethics, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants" as a foundation. This can elevate one beyond the realm of Haotian, but to which nature of celestial realm does it belong? As long as one exists within the Earth's star system, all are governed and managed under the supervision of Haotian. This allows for transcendence and carefree enjoyment of blessings, while also serving as a foundation in the human world.
Therefore, the human world, in relation to the Four Cardinal Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants, collectively forms the basis for transcending conditions through their functions. Within the entire human world, it is the mindset and the impulses of thoughts and intentions that drive actions. Only by enduring genuine trials can one attain a measurable foundation to rely upon.
Furthermore, the process of verifying and reporting on the supervision and evaluation by the heavenly "Sun and Moon Wandering Deities" is achieved through continuous accumulation. It is also through the human world’s efforts to elevate all thought constructs, gathering the basis for supervision and evaluation, that determines what kind of celestial realm one will enter in the future to grow and enjoy heavenly blessings.
Whether in the celestial realm or the human world, the reliance on enduring blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth is bestowed by heaven upon the human realm. This serves as a guiding principle, allowing for the verification of human conduct through the functions of the "Four Pillars, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants." It is through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" that such verification and assessment can be achieved.
It can be thoroughly understood—that is, whether one truly practices the Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants, or merely experiences brief moments of such a mindset, all will be revealed, without any possibility of deception, through the process displayed by the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart." This is precisely because it is manifested through what humanity refers to as the IC micro-crystal.
It enables the reenactment of all past events, and because this condition allows for clarity, one's deeds during life, combined with the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" assigning colors and scores, reveal whether each thought and intention was righteous or not. Thus, all color gradations and scores become immediately apparent, leaving no room for any error.
In the process of the Heavenly Heart Mirror's manifestation, it is precisely through the accumulation of every mindset and thought that transformation occurs—this is where its subtlety lies! Not a single link is overlooked, and thus, it becomes clear that the divine grace bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the entire world, encompassing all "Four Dimensions and Eight Virtues" as well as the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, and Five Relationships," is utterly transparent.

Diligent and brave, without negligence or oversight, fulfill your duties and complete the task, submitting the book at the earliest.
◆ Prefaces ◆
What of the thoughts and perceptions of sentient beings? It is certain that the deeds and actions within the human world can be clearly articulated, with no possibility of falsification! Judging by one's own lifelong conduct, it is said: "Deeds in the mortal realm cannot deceive the heavens; the verification by the laws of the underworld will be unmistakably clear. The minute details of human actions are bound to reflect the perspective (mirror) of heaven and earth."
This can be understood with certainty: in the thoughts and intentions of a person, while they may deceive the eyes of all people in the human world, they absolutely cannot escape the illumination of the mirrors of Heaven and Earth. Whether in the human realm, the underworld, or any celestial realm, once illuminated by the mirrors of Heaven and Earth, everything becomes clear at a glance!
It is absolutely impossible to falsify or conceal anything. For all celestial realms, the human world, and the underworld within the great cosmos, everything is illuminated by the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth." This ensures that every thought, intention, and action throughout the process is fully revealed. This is precisely how the sentient beings of the great cosmos are watched over and cared for.
The grace of Heaven's virtue is the foundation of reliance; in the human world, all living beings descend from the heavens to the mortal realm. Why do they descend to live in the human world? For all sentient beings and original spirits, can they understand this process and realize how it unfolds? And how, in the human world, they truly rely only on the blessings bestowed upon them!
It is often a process of repaying karmic debts, an ordeal that is unbearable for any primordial spirit. It is precisely these accumulated blessings and karmic obstacles from past lives that persistently follow one, remaining by one's side to bestow blessings or to clear all karmic debts for resolution.
This is not limited to humanity alone! As stated: it is the true and accurate descent of cause and effect for repayment. All orientations of existence in this human world are merely projections and reappearances of actions and deeds from past lives. Sentient beings and primordial spirits can understand this—they are simply experiencing blessings or repaying debts through the cause and effect of the present moment.
It is to take responsibility for settling the debts of oneself, one’s family, and all karmic consequences. In this way, one can understand why the Heavens must take such action: it is to transform and completely resolve all past karmic obstacles of sentient beings, which is the true reality! If one can comprehend the great virtue and grace of the Heavens toward sentient beings, one would be moved to tears of gratitude!
If one fails to appreciate the profound grace of Heaven, they will forever remain among the sinking multitudes. The transformation of a single thought marks the boundary between ascent and descent. I wonder if everyone can reflect deeply on this? Without establishing such a concept at its foundation, it is exceedingly difficult to comprehend the profound mysteries within.
It becomes clear why one's actions and their underlying causes never escape the reflection of the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth"? This is not merely what is referred to in the human world as three-dimensional space, but rather a ten-dimensional space, along with all numbers and colors, which serve to verify one's own deeds.
Can all human technologies meet such conditions? They cannot! From the perspective of the human world, even the three C and three-dimensional space are only sufficient for application within the realm of human principles. Yet, how could one possibly comprehend the mysteries of the ten C and ten-dimensional space? It is impossible! Only through Chongxin can one, with firsthand information, come to understand the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, their transmission and documentation.
The Conscience Mirror of Benevolence—integrating the IC microcrystal with the underworld’s mirror of retribution—fulfills its guiding function for both the human realm and the netherworld by aligning with the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Heart. It is precisely through this alignment that elevation is achieved via the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," thereby manifesting the great virtuous grace of the Heavenly Heart.
It is the function of upward ascension, which is also quite true to reality. Furthermore, through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," it serves as a unifying condition. Projected via the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," it reflects upon the sages, immortals, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings in their ascent, allowing their actions and thoughts to be projected through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" within their own energy and consciousness. This is entirely correct.
It is precisely the virtue that nurtures all sentient beings; from the perspective of the human world in which we live, what can be understood and witnessed is merely the time and space of a vast blue sky and bright sun. It is also difficult to comprehend that within this blue sky and bright sun, in the space of Earth, there exists the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" as a source of illumination and support, which is also stored in the vast memory of the great cosmic space.
Under such conditions, the vast heavens and earth, along with all living beings, are afforded a protective measure. This prevents ultraviolet rays from directly striking the Earth. The gamma rays present in outer space also serve to block the radiation that escapes into the cosmos, thereby offering protection to all living things in the great world.
In fact, in outer space, there are many types of radiation harmful to sentient beings on Earth that obstruct protection and care. From the perspective of all living beings, this is a protective measure, preventing harmful radiation from directly irradiating Earth's space. However, what humanity currently understands about this is very limited.

##Vice-Chairman Immortal Ma
Before the Limitless Throne, the Mother Goddess attends,  
Xu Feiqiong descends to the Daoist hall.
The Sixteen Volumes of the Dadao Series  
Expanding Virtue Across the Universe, Elevating the Heart of Morality
By imperial decree, the sacred edict of the Wuji descends upon the Chongxin Hall to be proclaimed. All deities and mortals bow in reverence!
Imperial Decree Announced and Read
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Matriarch of the Wuji, the Great Heavenly Venerable, proclaims by sacred decree:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, and her achievements for all original spirits in the mortal world are manifested through meticulous and all-encompassing guidance. Moreover, for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the central land of Jambudvipa, who are able to connect with the divine in the present moment, she also works to elevate the energy of each individual. This is precisely the use of the pure Dharmakaya as the fundamental cause and condition for one's own upward transcendence.
For the children of the human world, those who can transcend in the present moment are making choices and selections for themselves. This opportunity is fairly bestowed upon the mortal human realm, without distinction among any race of sentient beings or original spirits. To receive beneficial grace, one must act accordingly to truly attain it.
Observing Taiwan: Since its independent establishment, the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang" in Taoyuan has been dedicated to composing the "Great Tao Series of Heavenly Texts." These works serve as the foundation for all sentient beings and primordial spirits to achieve transcendence within a single lifetime. It is the heartfelt hope of the Mother that all primordial spirits in the vast world may be elevated and attain transcendence.
Now, the Sacred Heart of the Heavenly Mother decrees that the Chongxintang, since the completion of the fifteenth volume of the Great Tao series—The Limitless Great Tao—has earned the profound affirmation and praise of the immortals and Buddhas of Heaven; moreover, the Mother's Heart is deeply gratified! It is thus fitting to continue with the sixteenth volume of the Great Tao series, titled The Great Tao: Vast Heaven, which expounds upon all the mysteries of the great cosmos.
The decree appoints the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea and the Supreme Master of the Void as the principal writing immortals and buddhas, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as assisting writing immortals and buddhas. Upon receipt of this decree, the writing shall commence immediately, aiming for early completion of the work to guide all mortal souls, enabling them to ascend, transcend, and return to the Heavenly World of Haotian and the Primordial Realm of Wuji. This is the heartfelt aspiration of the Divine Mother!

I, the supreme sovereign, hold the authority to evaluate and elevate all religions of the human world.

To achieve greater accomplishments as one's own duty is of significant benefit to all divine beings and humanity in the vast world. I am gratified that the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall in Taoyuan, Taiwan, has diligently accepted the decree and undertaken the compilation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," which have now been completed in fifteen volumes.
It is appropriate to bestow and disseminate the sixteenth volume of the Celestial Texts of the Dadao series. This opportunity serves to verify the firm faith and steadfast determination of Chongxin, which is indeed highly commendable. We are greatly pleased! We hereby grant it the title *Dadao Haotian* and confer it upon Chongxin for its compilation, aiming to enable all sentient beings to achieve the causes and conditions for accomplishment.
The decree appoints the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea and the Supreme Master of the Void as the principal composing immortals and buddhas, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as assisting composing immortals and buddhas. Upon receipt of this decree, the composition shall commence immediately, aiming for early completion and promulgation to benefit the world. This will broadly propagate the roots of enlightenment and serve as a vehicle for transcendence. It is hoped that Chongxin will yield greater benefits and gains for future educational and cultural curricula.

Preface
A celestial book is composed through the convergence of divine power, human effort, and material resources, all of which combine to facilitate its completion and dissemination. Observing the series of celestial books authored by a single lineage, one can see that those who attain such exceptional honor are truly unparalleled in the world! Those who steadfastly achieve the benevolent grace bestowed by Heaven are exceedingly rare!
Now, we are fortunate to have the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Yichichongxin Hall in Taoyuan, Taiwan, which can truly be considered unparalleled in the world. This extraordinary honor is the result of the collective efforts of all divine beings and students, making it a cause for joy, celebration, praise, and commendation! It serves to genuinely elevate and nurture all sentient beings.
The Great Dao—by its inherent nature—nourishes and benefits all sentient beings, granting them the means to integrate within existence. It offers greater opportunities for growth in the course of life, serving as the foundation for achieving causes and conditions. It unfolds the virtuous grace of heaven and earth, and under the great compassion of Shangcai, it manifests as the cultivation, transformation, and ultimate realization of all sentient beings’ primordial spirits. Only in this way is it both principled and practical.
Haotian—through the grand evolution of the cosmos, elucidates and disseminates the mysteries of the celestial realm to the world below. This grants sentient beings and primordial spirits in the human world greater space for growth, allowing such conditions to be understood through religion and elevating "consciousness of the heart and mind" to achieve fulfillment. This is particularly vital in the era of contemporary technological civilization.
Indeed, we are already in a different era, having long departed from different temporal and spatial realms, as well as varying environmental levels. For all sentient beings in the vast universe, it is possible to invite abundant resources from the heavens to descend. The great virtue of the Heavenly Dao lies in bringing the resources of the heavens down to the human world as a whole, elevating through education and culture, and guiding toward greater growth as the ultimate goal.
The Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Celestial Venerable of Dao and Virtue, bestows this preface.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddha, the Great Dao Academy of the Ultimate, and the Chongxin Hall of Imperial Decree.

Episode 7: Distinctions Based on Substance
## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
March 2, 2004, the twelfth day of the second lunar month, Year of Jiashen (Tuesday)
Confucianism elevates the Middle Kingdom,  
The Great Sage's utmost wisdom illuminates sincere devotion.
Confucius descends to the Chongxin Hall,  
The Great Dao of the Vast Heaven praises and attests.
In Praise of the Sun
In the dialect of Taiwan, "erluo" is a term of praise! Those who can earn the commendation of the Supreme Being with a single gesture of approval in the celestial assembly of the Heavenly Court, before all the immortals and buddhas, are able to rely on the essence of the Great Dao as their foundation. Moreover, all the celestial scriptures authored in the past have taken the principles of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues as their guiding standards.
This principle is quite sound, yet in the present era, it is rare indeed to align with the sentient beings' pursuit of novelty and change in thought, and to elevate human ethics and morality! This is also due to the changing times, and thus the Heavens have established new laws to bring about achievements. Those who can attain this exceptional honor are the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang," which has seized this opportunity and established such a structure, truly deserving of praise!
In Praise of Praise—this is a celestial scripture series that elaborates on the unfolding process of the Great Dao in great detail, disseminates the virtues and blessings of heaven and earth, and further integrates the unfolding processes of the void and the infinite. It does not detach from the human world but rather harmonizes with all sentient beings within it, enabling them to transcend.
Moreover, having the assembly of immortals and Buddhas from the Chongxin Hall come to teach and guide all sentient beings and original spirits of Jambudvīpa is truly a fundamental cause for upward advancement, worthy of praise and commendation! To praise and affirm this is to elucidate the profound mysteries of the Heavenly Court and to further demonstrate the great compassionate grace and benevolence of the Heavenly Lord.
Providing sentient beings with the benefits and gains for greater growth, and for the deities of the human world, it means they can break free from the limitations of the "five-hundred-year merits of the gods," transcend millions of years of ascension, and achieve the works of the "Great Dao." In bestowing the grace of the "Vast Heaven" upon all original spirits, they are further praised and commended.
This is not a resource that ordinary individuals can possess. It is admirable to observe how a spiritual lineage, through unwavering determination and success, elevates itself. The affirmation and appreciation for the Patriarch of the Li Bi lineage, as reflected in the authorship of the Dadao series of celestial texts, which educate and cultivate through the dissemination of all previously untaught karmic connections within these works, is truly praiseworthy and commendable.
The founder of Confucianism, the Great Sage of Ultimate Perfection, Confucius, descended to bestow this eulogy:
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism  
The True Heart School of Buddha  
The Great Dao Court of the Wuji  
The Chongxin Hall, by Imperial Decree
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Guiwei year of the Tianyun cycle, during the Xu hour.
Oh! Truly worthy of praise and congratulations! We too have been privileged to gather with reverence in this noble assembly. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
Chapter Eight: Different Levels
## Wuji Xuantian Shangdi
March 5, 2004, the fifteenth day of the second month in the jiashen year (Friday).
Namo, the true nature of all sentient beings manifests in perfect freedom;  
The teachings and virtues of Shakyamuni Buddha arrange the causes and conditions.
The Great Dao, vast as the heavens, creates a world imbued with compassion.  
In hymns we celebrate the revered spirit, where humanity fulfills its sacred duty.
Ode of Felicitation
Ode of Odes—It affirms a series of sacred texts, transcending any religious sects or lineages. By not distinguishing between one another, greater mutual integration is achieved. Through religions such as Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam, mutual equality and coexistence are realized within the vast universe, allowing religions to harmoniously blend without distinction.
To be granted the opportunity to elevate the great cosmos and earth is a rare blessing indeed, one that is deeply affirmed and praised by Heaven! Yet, those who fulfill such conditions, steadfastly dedicated to the duties bestowed by Heaven, and accomplish the composition of the Celestial Books series—transcending all intersections while maintaining coherence and balance throughout—truly deserve the highest commendation!
In Praise and Celebration—Within the Dadao series, the evolution of heaven and earth is meticulously compiled volume by volume, fully descending into the celestial texts. For the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian School, it offers sentient beings greater elevation. Throughout the present era, without distinction among any religions or sentient beings, it serves as the foundation for conditions of transcendence.
This is not an achievement that can be easily attained. It is essential to clearly understand that this is a decree issued by the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, it requires the collective efforts of all divine beings and disciples, as well as unwavering determination to accomplish. It serves as a tangible verification for the future propagation, providing all sentient beings with the genuine means to transcend and achieve the necessary growth.
The one who extols the Great Dao is also the one extolled by the Great Dao. In elevating the original spirits of sentient beings, it involves transcending the "latent causes" stored within the "causal substance." This is achieved by creating something out of nothing to attain accomplishment. Moreover, through the preparation of latent causes, the opportunity for future achievement is fully realized. This is the virtue and process evolved by the Great Dao.
The one who praises the Vast Heaven—and is also praised by the Vast Heaven—is able, within the heavenly realm of the Vast Heaven, to compose the "Great Dao Series" of books. These works compile and elucidate all past karmic connections that have never before been transmitted to the human world. Through this series of celestial texts, the essence of the Buddhist "Sutras, Vinaya, and Commentaries" is further integrated into the mortal realm.
Therefore, the function of the "Treatise Treasury" authored by the Supreme Heaven can be verified through "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," which accurately reflects the evolutionary processes of all celestial realms and seamlessly integrates with the sentient beings of the present era. It is hoped that all may deeply comprehend the boundless compassion bestowed by the Supreme Heaven and the benevolent grace extended by the immortals and buddhas—a rare and profound opportunity of karmic affinity across the ages.

Prelude to the Ode of the Great Dao and the Vast Heaven  
The Lord of the Southern Heavens descends to meet us.
The Grand Chairperson of the Chongxin Taoist Center expresses gratitude to the divine Buddhas and students for their reverence.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, we are once again blessed with a great cause and condition within our Chongxin Tao lineage. It is the descent of the founders of the Three Teachings to compose the preface, praises, and celebratory verses for *The Great Tao Haotian*, precisely presenting the rarely witnessed verification process throughout the ages, which is now being disseminated through the Chongxin ancestral lineage.
It can be said: In recent years, all the efforts and hard work of our Chongxin have been affirmed by the Heavens and praised by the celestial immortals and Buddhas, as well as by us teachers. This is the result of the united efforts of all deities, Buddhas, and students, who have persevered to complete each volume of the celestial book series—a tightly woven and remarkably challenging endeavor.
It is the steadfast fulfillment of one's duties toward Heaven that earns the profound affirmation and praise of the celestial immortals and Buddhas. This, in turn, brings immense honor to us, your teachers, within the assembly of the Heavenly Court. We earnestly hope that these works may continue perpetually, dutifully accomplishing the divine mission bestowed by Heaven, enabling both oneself and all sentient beings to transcend and return to ultimate perfection. This is the true reality. Strive diligently!
Chapter 10: Sinking into Obstruction
## Wuji Siming Zhenjun
March 16, 2004, the twenty-sixth day of the second lunar month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
From the Void and Infinite, the cause descends to the mortal realm;  
The Superior One first composes the Guide of the Vast Heaven.
The Great Dao unfolds to propagate its teachings, descending from the cosmos to enlighten humanity.
How are the mysteries of the universe transmitted downward?
It is governed by a galaxy, which uses all living beings of the entire Earth's galaxy as a process of interpretation. This process must also possess the function of survival and dependence, without departing from the threshold of human existence. It is necessary to bestow great virtue and grace upon the world through the Earth's galaxy, and this process requires the conditions of survival and dependence.
Human beings on the planet Earth are endowed with the capacity to nurture life, which requires a genuine reliance on survival. It is within the "world of actuality" that one elevates and grows—through the process of nurturing life, one truly gains abundant resources for advancement. Moreover, by means of the survival journey, one can implement guiding principles to benefit all sentient beings.
The universe—a term commonly used in contemporary times—was historically referred to as "the void." When speaking of all galaxies within the vast cosmos, they may rely on the ascension of the Milky Way galaxy. This is governed by the supreme administrative authority, which exercises full responsibility and authority, and for the grand world, an administrative unit is essential for its governance.
Resources of the Cosmic Celestial Realm
Only then can one bear the responsibility for the administrative operations of the entire Earth's galaxy or the celestial realms of the universe. Thus, the great celestial expanse descends to transform, and even more so, takes the universe as its foundation. Within the celestial realms of the universe lies knowledge that the human world cannot comprehend. Although, among these realms, there have been some celestial beings who ascended to the cosmic heavens to seek verification.
These causal conditions represent only a fraction of the whole, making it exceedingly difficult to fully comprehend all the mysteries of the vast cosmos, let alone to disseminate such understanding within the Earth's galactic system. To this day, amidst the evolution of eras, we can utilize technological civilization to convey this information through television screens, thereby revealing the true substance of outer space.
The universe—it permeates heaven and earth, extending across all directions, past and present, interwoven in time and space. How, then, can we comprehend the benevolent grace bestowed by the heavens? It is precisely because within the cosmos, all extraterrestrial civilizations can bear witness to this truth. If we rely on artificial satellites, we are unable to penetrate its inner depths—how, then, can we discern all the processes of transformation and their underlying causes?
To comprehend the truly vast, boundless, and infinite cosmos, one must have once dwelled within the celestial realms of the universe to bear witness. Otherwise, if relying solely on the technology of the current era from the human world, it is indeed exceedingly difficult to achieve thorough understanding. Moreover, how can one discern the underlying causes and essences that descend upon all universes? It is profoundly challenging to distinguish!
The Delimiting Function of the Cosmic Celestial Realm
It can be said: all galaxies, due to their inherent nature, are formed entirely from genes produced by the same DNA. Therefore, it is essential to clarify what this inherent nature is. Through the complete formation of RNA, the inherent nature of QNA can be elevated—a process of reality that the human world cannot fully comprehend. Through the manifestation of virtue and grace by the Great Dao, it becomes distinguishable.
Through the enhancement derived from the "Void and Limitless," a truly authentic process of downward transformation occurs. By verifying all species within the Earth's star system in the present space-time, it becomes clear that these original essences are all the same. This understanding underscores the necessity for future technological civilization to genuinely undertake such elevation.
Transformation from Above—It is absolutely true that across the galaxies of the universe, all share the same origin of matter, which must undergo growth through the "qi and magnetic" essence of all energies. If one can utilize the energy of qi and magnetic essence, it can be said that one has already ascended beyond the spiritual particles, only then can such an opportunity and affinity arise, and thus understand what is truly meant by the transformation descending from the Great Dao!
How should one descend to the Earth's star system? This is precisely the initial function of the origin of life! It is essential to clarify: why did the human world descend to the Earth's star system to survive? Rather than leaving it as a timeless, bewildering question! This condition can thus serve as verification and clarification, benefiting and rewarding all sentient beings of humanity.
The Universe and the Earth's Galactic System Are Interconnected
Why is it that in the Earth's star system, all life that has evolved and survived on Earth—though human existence is documented as merely a few thousand years—is in fact far older, having already undergone several transformations within this star system? From the perspective of the present era in the human world, all that can be observed is merely the sky, a vast expanse of azure blue.
In truth, within the galactic system of Earth, the seas have transformed into mulberry fields not merely a dozen or so times, but indeed more than twenty times over such vast stretches. How, then, can the human world, with its shallow and limited perspective, verify the foundations laid over millions and billions of years? Moreover, across the span of billions of years in time and space, it is fundamentally impossible to establish any proportional measure!
Descending transformation—another instance of Heaven bestowing its grace upon the human world through karma. Precisely within the vast galaxy, there exist numerous stellar systems far from Earth's solar system, where the luminous synergy of sun and moon is absent. In such realms devoid of any "solar-lunar radiance," one must contemplate: why does this not lead to the tragic outcome of mutual collisions?
All structures under the cosmos are transformed.
The revolution and rotation of this galaxy follow the great cosmic truth, emitting light through its own energy. This further verifies that, throughout the vast expanse of time and space, the human world is bound by the daily "photosynthesis of the sun and moon." If one were to depart from the Earth's galaxy within the Milky Way, it would indeed confirm that self-illumination is an undeniable reality!
However, there are many galaxies that are fundamentally incapable of emitting light on their own, and have long since transcended the limitations of solar and lunar photosynthesis. They have departed from the world of mutual interaction between yin and yang, being sustained by an energy akin to that which forms the human body. Correspondingly, there arises the necessity for growth and elevation in the present moment.
The descent of the universe—that is, elevating this causal connection—is also meant to involve the photosynthetic interaction of the sun and moon within the Earth's star system. This, in turn, refers to the application of the "yang interaction of the solar cycle" and the "yin interaction of the lunar cycle," which mutually fulfill the human world, precisely forming the conditions for the energy body.
The Various Functions of the Cosmic Celestial Realm
If so, a sufficiently transcendent energy entity would certainly not be subject to the photosynthesis of the sun and moon, or the dualities of yin and yang. This means that for all celestial bodies within the vast cosmos, those star systems that have transcended the photosynthesis of the sun and moon are no longer constrained by it. In confronting the two obstacles of "yin and yang," they operate precisely through the function of their own intrinsic energy.
In the future, all energy entities that descend to transform the human world operate through the "photosynthesis of the sun and moon’s yin-yang light." Returning to the context of human existence, how can every moment and process across time and space be recorded? This is precisely for the benefit of humanity, offering sentient beings the means to harvest and grow.
For the life of the universe to descend upon the Earth's star system, there must be a true foundation for elevation in cause and condition—only then can it be considered genuine reality! Otherwise, why would sentient beings descend upon the Earth's star system? And can the spiritual seeds of sentient beings truly comprehend this? No! However, with the revelation of the cosmos and celestial realms in *The Great Dao of Haotian*, part of the mysteries of the star systems will be unveiled.
The Great Dao of Haotian is boundless and far-reaching; the Great Dao of Haotian is the true and righteous path.
All causes and conditions arise from the universe, descending to illuminate the Earth with radiance.
The boundless energy of the void descends,  
As sun and moon unite, yin and yang are measured.
Two halves, two sides, complete the whole;  
All sentient beings are alike.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; as written in the first chapter of *Dadao Haotian*, it verifies how life is bestowed throughout the vast cosmos. It is essential to understand that this is not limited to the Earth's star system alone, but extends from the "Void Wuji" to the Earth's star system and all star systems, enabling universal fulfillment.
Study it carefully! In each installment of the writings, an ancient, untold secret will be revealed and transformed within the celestial texts, offering immense benefit to all humanity. By truly and faithfully integrating these teachings in the course of growth, one will surely attain the ability to traverse the cosmos, the void, and the infinite—this is the true path!
Episode 11: Transformation Through Tribulation
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipankara
March 19, 2004, the twenty-ninth day of the second lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The boundless void is the true heaven and earth,  
Vastly nurturing all sentient beings with compassion.
The esteemed king ascends the platform, bearing deep affection;  
The Great Dao and Vast Heaven reveal the first chapter's truth.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Great Tao Haotian" — the true presiding master of our lineage, the Supreme Master of the Void — has descended to compose the first chapter, fulfilling the cause and condition of "the descent of the universe." It is essential to clarify: within the star system of Earth, how are sentient beings among humanity faring?
If one's existence is merely for nurturing life within the Earth's star system, it must be understood that this is by no means one's eternal home in the human world. It is essential to truly comprehend, regarding the land where one temporarily resides, what is real and what is illusory. What one can offer may be extended to the heavens to widely invite abundant resources, enabling transcendence and return!
The work presented in the first chapter, which forms the foundational framework, was composed through the descent of the Patriarch of the Human-Heaven Lineage, the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue of Humanity and Heaven. It imparts a secret that has remained untold for millennia, making this karmic condition exceptionally rare and precious. Will you cherish it? With this, we conclude for today. Thank you all for your diligent efforts. Farewell!
Chapter Twelve: Reformation and Enhancement
## Wuji Wenchang Dijun
March 26, 2004, the sixth day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Friday)
Ancient Buddha of the South Sea descends to the Sacred Hall;  
The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven are not the same.
Promote and Expand Across the Universe Unveiled,  
The Chapter of Life’s Origin in Hidden Corners.
All Functions of the Origin of Life
From the perspective of a single lineage, what mindset should be adopted in promoting and expanding the Great Dao as a whole? Under what conditions should this propagation be carried out? Moreover, the "remote corners" refer to spreading from an extremely small region to the entire universe—a pattern that has been consistent with the origins of ancient religions, all accomplished through the karmic conditions bestowed by Heaven.
It is precisely through the elevation and transcendence of the human world, and through the authentic construction of the great truths, that even a small region can serve as a base. To propagate the great Way across the entire universe, it is necessary to integrate all resources: divine power, human effort, material resources, and financial strength, in order to create the conditions for its realization.
This must be accumulated bit by bit, and in the process of verifying "each step leaving a solid footprint," every imprint is steadfast, never straying beyond the realm of human endeavor. It can endure through the ages to be passed down to future generations, offering a true and tangible benefit for all sentient beings, enabling them to gain and receive its rewards.
The Origin of Human Life Creates Necessity
Life—it is precisely the driving force of activity, and within the great cosmos, the Earth's star system, it serves as the nourisher of existence. It takes the humanity of this vast heaven and earth as its foundation, and because it is guided by the human world, there are written records, even detailed accounts of all processes to serve as verification, never skipping any single link.
Having undergone the creative process of life, what will be the accumulation of causal essence from future causes? And how can one advance toward the future to achieve greater growth? This must be accomplished through the human world. In the creation of all life, it is essential to provide such conditions for the growth and benefit of sentient primordial spirits.
It provides the human world as a foundation for transcendence, enabling the elevation of all sentient beings and original spirits. Within the human realm, it transforms all aspects—habits, inertia, innate nature, and individuality—allowing one to become the master of oneself rather than a slave to oneself. This is because it is meant for the creation and elevation of life!
Through the descent from the void, the infinite, and the interstellar realms of the great cosmos, nurturing humanity within the Earth's star system, it is precisely this that does not depart from the necessities of human existence. It also embodies the processes forged in the origins of life, driving the flourishing of the human world and the succession of generations toward greater benefit, encompassing all living spaces of humanity.
The Foundation of Human Life's Conditions
It is precisely through the human world that the turning point of life's levels emerges, giving rise to distinctions among these levels. Within the realm of humanity, individuals often find themselves unable to act according to their own desires. Instead, they tend to believe that in the process of their pursuits, there must be a longing to chase after something, yet such desires frequently remain unfulfilled.
Life—is to create all processes for elevation. It lies in the significance of life, providing the fundamental requirements for activity, which in turn fosters the creative advancement of life. Yet, what life offers is a question of whether one can reap greater benefits for the future or achieve greater room for growth. It is essential to understand the importance of life!
If there exists only the necessity of active force, it is the creative process that manifests under all conditions, granting sentient beings and primordial spirits the opportunity to engage in an evolutionary progression of creation. This is the great moral virtue that can benefit not only sentient human beings but also all living creatures across the myriad realms. It is precisely the grand unfolding at the very inception of all life.
The process of imparting vitality to activities and creation, having undergone the necessities of life and integrated into the collective coexistence of society, can be described as follows: within the survival of society, how to provide the achievement of life's value, offering sentient beings and original spirits a foundation for future existence, thereby enabling the genuine bestowal and nourishment of all that comes into being.
The Origin of Life
Origin—It is also from which all life is born. At the same time as nurturing life within the Earth's star system, it has long sown seeds of virtuous karma for this realm. Regardless of what profound spiritual attainments one may have held in past celestial realms—be it as a holy deity, immortal Buddha, bodhisattva, or exalted sage—in this present moment, all are merely sentient beings among the multitude.
It is no longer the same entity as before: the former status of holy spirits, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings is gone. Now, one is merely a mortal body, no longer the immortal or Buddha of the past who needed no food, drink, sleep, or elimination. If one fails to understand this reality in the present moment, and instead believes that religious cultivation and practice will restore what was lost, what then?
In terms of what can be expressed, one has now regained: are the conditions for the spiritual achievements of the immortals and buddhas of the past like this? Not so! At this very moment, it is necessary to elevate through the human world. Within the human world, the true nature of caring for life is precisely inseparable from the necessities of human existence, and this is not merely a matter of religious faith alone!
Only then can one avoid departing from all human existence in the mortal world, and claim to have attained the body of an immortal or Buddha—is this truly the case? Granting oneself the notion that these aspects of life's origins have already passed, can one restore the original divine form? It is indeed difficult to know whether, in the future, one can once again ascend and return!
The growth achieved through creative efficacy
How, then, can one achieve greater growth and benefit? It is essential to experience all aspects of human existence: the sweet and the bitter, the joys and the hardships... Only through such trials can one be tempered anew, creating a foundation for future achievements and a return to one's true place. This may even lead to surpassing the merits and attainments of the past, thus fostering virtuous growth.
Origin – It is the descent from the Wuji to the mortal realm, the birthplace of all primordial spirits, and the destination to which they aspire to return in the future. It is essential to undergo the scrutiny and assessment of "Wuji and Haotian" to determine whether one is worthy of future attainment. Yet, do the lingering habits, tendencies, personalities, and inherent natures from the human world still create various obstacles?
In the fundamental actions necessary for aspiring to ascend and transcend, one must ensure that in the future, when striving to rise into the realms of the void, the infinite, or the great cosmic heavens, they do not instead descend back into the mundane world to undergo further trials, tests, and start anew. For both the beginning of origin and the return to the future are created in the present moment and achieved now!
In contemplating one's own future, how can one achieve clarity regarding the role of life's origins from the very beginning? Furthermore, concerning the blessings and trials bestowed by the Boundless and the Vast Heaven, under what conditions can all saints, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, upon descending to the mortal realm, transcend and elevate themselves?
The Fundamental Functions in the Origin of Life
The Origin of Life – It is the universe descending into the human world, where all life undergoes transformation, elevation, and transcendence, enabling greater benefits and gains in the future. In the human world, every process is but a fleeting moment, and all beings are merely passing travelers.
One may carefully contemplate the present self, comparing it with the self of five years ago, then with the self of ten years ago, and even further with the self of twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty years ago. In doing so, all these processes are but fleeting moments of the past, for no one remains in the future.
It is the present moment that has already passed; how can one grasp oneself, and how can one clearly understand that one's life is interconnected with heaven and earth, the infinite, the void, and the vast universe? When compared to others, the human world appears so minuscule, so helpless, and even more incapable of ascending and elevating itself!
All that exists in this life is determined by the actions and deeds of the past, as well as the karmic consequences from previous lives, which serve as the basis for this lifetime's existence and judgment. Can one truly grasp the subtlety of such a state of mind? It is but a fleeting moment, gone in the blink of an eye! How can one comprehend the helplessness of this process?
All life in the universe is interconnected.
From the very beginning of life's origin to its ultimate completion, it is but a trace left between heaven and earth, fundamentally unable to transcend all that exists within the space of this planet! Thus, through cycle after cycle, generation after generation, revolving within the Earth's celestial system, it becomes clear: every sentient being in their past existence was a great pillar of the heavens.
Furthermore, for all those whose karmic conditions lead to ascension and attainment, or those who have been demoted to the mortal realm, as well as those who return by vow, or those who originally wander through life and death in the human world—it is essential for each of these individuals to understand how to truly create the path of return to the heavenly ladder. In the process of creating the origin of life, they must be endowed with the fundamental essence of the original spirit of sentient beings.
Regarding the potential for creative elevation and transcendence, it is a matter of self-assessment, not merely being evaluated under the supervision of heaven and earth. Can the human world achieve transcendence within a single lifetime? It is precisely through one's own selection and decision! Neither celestial beings nor other benevolent guides can compel this. May you understand and strive diligently!
The universe bestows the sustenance of transformation,  
The origin of life unfolds upon the great Dao.
The human journey is divided into ascent and descent,  
Transcending myriad years is the rightful course.
Sentient beings return to the origin,  
The cosmic void returns to the boundless infinite.
Do not belittle yourself; strengthen your resolve and return to your true place.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it is essential to honestly elevate oneself through great causes and conditions, and to strive together with heaven and earth, the boundless void, and the vast cosmos for transcendence across generations—this is the true path. I earnestly hope for this! I earnestly hope for this! Having reached this point today, I appreciate everyone’s efforts. After disturbing you for a while longer, I shall return to the celestial realm.
Chapter Thirteen: Haotian Rides the Wind
## The Great White Star Lord, Immortal Elder Li Taibai
March 30, 2004, the tenth day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
Limitless, truly boundless is the Ultimate Void;  
Mysterious Heaven, in its mystery, becomes the Supreme Deity.
Revere the Heart, revere the Heart, the great cause and condition;  
Achieve the fruit of attainment and forge your own self.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the second chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," elucidating the initial process of the origin of life and the causes and conditions following the end of life, thereby establishing the fundamental framework for "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven."
It is very true to say to all sentient beings and original spirits: In the human world, should one strive to transcend in the present moment, or remain to achieve transcendence in the next life or future lives? I ask: Can such an opportunity be grasped? No! If it cannot be grasped even in the present moment, how can one hope to attain it in the next life?
In truth, whether in the present or the future, is there greater room for growth? It is hoped that one can clearly recognize that the present moment is precisely the cause and condition for future achievements. Esteemed students: This year, our sect has been honored by the heavens with an "outstanding" performance evaluation, which has been formally bestowed. This is the result of our collective determination and efforts, and it is hoped that we will continue to strive for the greater promotion and propagation of our teachings for all.
It is only correct when the entire body unites as one! Moreover, due to the affirmation bestowed upon our lineage by the divine evaluation, it is hoped that all students should wholeheartedly and with unified strength cooperate in the propagation of the Dao affairs among the whole body, showing greater respect for the leadership of Patriarch Li Bi. Without the great compassion and vow power of Patriarch Li Bi, and his unwavering determination to fulfill his duties in accomplishing the divine mission, this would not be possible!
How rare it is for everyone to have such a great affinity, such an excellent opportunity, and such a grand achievement! It is essential to sincerely cherish all the gratitude felt toward the Patriarch. Let us unite as one in our efforts to propagate the teachings.
Chapter Fourteen: The Bountiful Grace of Heaven
##The Bodhisattva of Great Strength, Limitless
April 2, 2004, the thirteenth day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Friday)
January 9, 2004, Friday, the 18th day of the 12th lunar month in the Guiwei year
Nanping aids all beings under heaven and earth,  
Daoji harmoniously promotes the profound truth.
The ancient Buddha descended, bestowing the Celestial Tome;  
From the dawn of life, sentient beings reverently uphold.
Preparation of Primordial Genes
All beings existing within the Earth's star system can clearly understand: for all sentient primordial spirits, there exists a latent genetic foundation for growth. This originates from the descent of the cosmos into the Earth's star system, marking the beginning of life's genesis. It endows all sentient primordial spirits with the capacity for sustenance, enabling them to achieve warmth and nourishment throughout the process of nurturing life.
If we combine food chains to facilitate the creation of transactional chains, and rely on the interdependence of both food chains and transactional chains, then all original spirits can have the means to be fed and take action. The demand for satiety drives the desire for actions that ensure warmth and sustenance, which in turn gives rise to the development of transactional chains. Through all living beings in the human world, the actions driven by the desire for satiety are indeed absolutely true!
The Process of Genesis – The essence endowed with the primordial seed of all beings originates from all living things within the sentient world. Through the "interaction of sun and moon, yin and yang, and photosynthesis," the primal driving force for growth is generated. This inevitably leads to the formation of a future appearance, determined precisely by genes. It must be clearly understood how this process of creation through inherent qualities unfolds.
Different genes result in different forms.
In the future, many different forms will emerge, each shaped by the unique genetic makeup of individual beings. All living creatures in the sentient world, including animals and plants, share the same DNA in their primordial genetic origins. However, humans possess a distinct genetic creation, which raises the question: how does this shape their existence even before birth?
It cannot be clearly understood through the lens of the human world; it requires the application of a more subtle perspective to observe. What, then, is the nature of the inherent causes? It is the primal desires present at birth. How are these rooted in the essence of genes? The "original essence" is the same for all sentient beings. This is what the human world refers to as the combination of cells!
Within the cell, there exists the essence of numerous genes, which at the very beginning of the "process of containing causes" can clearly indicate what kind of appearance will emerge in the future, under what conditions. Moreover, it is certain that this will inevitably be validated and nurtured into exceptional conditions through the technological civilization of the human world.
The intrinsic nature of the original genes remains the same.
From the outset, the original essence is the same, yet the conditions and developmental processes that shape the future differ. Why is this so? It is precisely through the inherent nature of the latent causes and genetic factors that we can discern the qualities embedded within. Observe: how are the resulting cells formed? And because of this, what will the future produced by these cells be like? What will their appearance become?
However, what is the overall process? And how does it develop? All of this can be understood clearly before the future (birth) by thoroughly examining the inherent qualities, allowing one to know everything even before the initial birth. If the genes are flawed, yet one does not know how to make improvements, merely waiting to eliminate issues after birth may lead to numerous obstacles that are difficult to resolve!
Through contemplating the human world, one can comprehend how the "inherent causal qualities" of existence can be expanded more broadly for all sentient beings, granting them greater space for growth within the human realm. If detrimental genetic influences are not transformed and eliminated, they will impart harmful conditioning effects upon humanity.
The Distinctive Functions of Life Transformation
Through a thorough understanding of this flawed gene, one can comprehend that genes inherently contain all causal factors from before their formation. Regarding the origin of life, it is essential to understand how the causal factors within the creative entity of life function. These factors act upon the unborn genes by eliminating and selecting, thereby preserving the superior genes as the essential foundation for future survival.
It is precisely within living organisms that greater growth and harvest can be achieved. By clearing and screening out undesirable genes for growth, while preserving and passing down superior genes, we can advance future eugenics. Why must this be done? The essence lies in passing down superior genetic qualities, which is fundamentally the process of screening out undesirable genes.
It is brought about by the creation of a pure land for humanity in the future! Through the merits and flaws of genes, it thoroughly reveals: Under what conditions does the essence of genes manifest in the human world, and how does it elevate the survival and dependence of all human beings? This is made possible by the compassionate grace of the Heavenly Dao between heaven and earth, which treats all sentient beings and original spirits with fairness and equality, without any bias or partiality.
Superior Genes of Different Categories
The selection of superior and inferior genes is, in truth, a manifestation of the compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven upon the sentient beings of this world. For the current human species to aspire to purification and elevation through superior genetic qualities is akin to climbing a tree in search of fish. It must be understood that the fundamental essence of humanity has gradually been tainted by the impurities of the mortal world.
It is exceedingly difficult to restore the original purity of one's fundamental essence. If this situation persists, all sentient beings and primordial spirits will be unable to attain true clarity through "purification and contemplation." Moreover, they will fail to achieve "purifying the tainted and tainting the pure" within themselves in the present moment, remaining perpetually sullied by the worldly "defilements and contamination."
This scenario is ubiquitous in the present moment! Rarely is there genuine elevation through "purification of defilement," nor transcendence beyond "defilement and purity." Fundamentally, it remains impossible to break free from the cyclical predicament of "stain and defilement," making "defiled stains" seem normal. Moreover, how many primordial spirits today can truly internalize the divine grace bestowed by Heaven to achieve self-realization? It is highly unlikely!
Pure and defiled, defiled and pure; tainted and defiled, defiled and tainted.
Furthermore, due to the elevation brought about by "defilement and purity, purity and defilement," and the dust of "impurity and defilement, defilement and impurity," the future self's energy of illumination is confined within adversity. This prevents one from ascending and transcending upward, thereby trapping oneself in the human world and remaining bound by limitations.
At the origin, the essence of genes is pure and flawless. However, through the passage of time and space, all sentient primordial spirits have undergone repeated genetic modifications, yet remain unable to comprehend: the benevolent grace of Heaven and Earth, the divine grace of the Supreme, and the compassionate grace of the immortals and Buddhas. As a result, the human world, in its present state, is burdened with all the obstacles of the past.
It is essential to undergo the transformation of the human world, which grants oneself a purifying effect. This can eliminate the function of one's defiled genes and further precipitate and dissolve the causes of contamination. Only in this way can one create greater room for personal growth. It is necessary to rely on one's own efforts and creations to elevate and transcend!
From the very essence of our innate genetic makeup, we are given the opportunity to preserve our superior qualities while allowing the sedimentation and elimination of our undesirable traits. Humanity stands at the crossroads of ascension and decline. How, then, can we elevate ourselves? The responsibility lies with us in this very life, not in hoping for another chance in the next. Do we truly possess such a rare and profound opportunity? No, we do not!
The genes of sentient beings  
contain the latent causes that guide their descent and transformation.
Every being in the human world  
Can ascend anew, each one.
Accumulated causes from the past give rise to new life,  
Superior genes forge renewal and refinement.
Refining strengths and weaknesses to transform,  
Future achievements soar toward the heavens.
This verse! In the process of elevating and creating alongside all sentient beings and original spirits, one must strive for greater and higher achievements. Only then can one avoid failing oneself, failing the heavens above, and failing the compassionate guidance bestowed by the myriad immortals and buddhas. If you find yourself in such a state of mind, should we not consider shifting our perspective? Ponder this!
Regarding oneself: what of the state of mind and the state of circumstances? If one can give to oneself, there will surely be growth, elevation, transcendence, and return through genuine goodness; hahaha... This old monk can once again linger in Chongxin today, spending a delightful and refreshing evening. Though a thousand words could be spoken, all is conveyed in conversation. Thank you all for your hard work, farewell!
Chapter Fifteen: The Compassion of Heaven
## Emperor Guan, the Sage of Southern Heaven
April 6, 2004, the seventeenth day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The Celestial Realm of Wuji decrees its will,  
The Director of Fate oversees human affection and righteousness.
The True Lord ascends the dais to meet the virtuous disciples,  
Together they recount the destined encounters of the mortal realm.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji descends to compose an analysis of "The Great Tao Haotian – Chapter Three: The Primordial Genesis," which is to prepare and complete all inherent causes. What forms will they manifest in the future? What achievements will they bring? And through what processes will they unfold?
All arise from genes, making it clear how it is! Precisely because, under the preparation of inherent causes, they transform through genes, equipping future births from the start. It is within the excellence and deficiency of genes that the ability to thoroughly understand the transformative function of their essence is granted, providing sentient beings with the means to return and transcend, to learn and grow, thereby achieving the enhancement and transcendence of goodness.
Lailiao Zhi: In the world of sentient beings, all living things are merely manifestations of the same DNA, descending as causal matter. How, then, can such conditions progress toward an elevation of RNA, thereby enabling the transcendence of self-energy to shine through QNA? This is the transcendence to be achieved in the present moment. As the year draws to a close and the new spring approaches, the entire momentum has long since diverged from that of times past.
How should we propagate in the future? It is essential to have a structured plan in order to create greater space for expansion in the year of Jiashen. By striving together for all students of this lineage, numerous beneficial effects will be achieved. It is hoped that everyone will unite as one, jointly promoting for Heaven, for the Great Dao, for Chongxin, and for themselves across the universe.
Chapter Sixteen: The Central Celestial Realm
##Wuji Xiangu (Limitless Immortal Maiden)  Manjushri Bodhisattva
April 9, 2004, the 20th day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Friday)
January 16, 2004, the 25th day of the twelfth month in the Guiwei year (Friday)
Namo the Supreme Praised Tathagata,  
The Lamp-Lighter manifests virtue, dispelling all obstructions.
In the year of Guiwei, the Ancient Buddha penned the final chapter; the primordial spirits, through their essence, opened the great path.
The Function of the Original Spirit through Substance
Under the cosmic void, it descends and transforms into the formless world, then into the celestial world, and finally into the human world. From this, one can observe: what is the nature of all existing causes? It also becomes clear: only by comprehending the essence of existence can one, in facing the future, undertake the tasks of descent, transformation, and fulfillment with true clarity and complete understanding.
One must undergo the process of harmonizing the fundamental principles of ascension and transcendence within the human world, and pass through all the creative processes of this realm, in order to manifest in existence. What conditions are required? What levels must be attained? What states of being must be reached? These very conditions are bestowed by the boundless compassion of Heaven, showering the great virtue and grace upon all living beings of this earthly world.
Primordial Spirits—After the Wuji principles descended upon the Haotian world, they could no longer accommodate the energy of the Qi Heaven realm. Thus, they were cast down into the phenomenal world to exist. In their reliance on the phenomenal world for survival, they inevitably stirred the conditions of their original foundation. Whether they ascend or descend is clarified within the interplay of "purity and defilement."
The foundation of the primordial spirits transformed and bestowed from the Wuji.
Regarding the attitude one should adopt toward the human world in the supportive role after survival, it is essential to proceed through the actions required by survival dependence. By navigating the stage of human existence, one must genuinely integrate the nurturing actions into one's own life. From this, it becomes clear: how does the descent of the primordial spirit from the heavens relate to all inherent qualities?
It is precisely through experiencing the joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of human existence... that one can, after all these experiences, achieve a transcendence for eternity toward the heavens, or merely remain within the human world of the Earth's star system, caught in the cycle of repeated reincarnation! Moreover, one can come to understand what the journey of life encountered during existence truly entails.
How can one withstand the tests of time and space? It is precisely by fostering within oneself the adaptability to survive and integrate that one can clearly discern all that exists in the human world, as well as the dependencies in the process of "discerning one's nature" and "nurturing interests." How, then, does this shape the quality of human existence, enabling it to ascend ever higher?
The deeds of the primordial spirits after descending to the mortal realm.
Original Spirit – This is also the cause of descending as seeds, meaning that through the primordial substance born from the original source, it can be relied upon and sustained. It is certain to provide all sentient beings and original spirits with the fundamental cause and condition for upward elevation. This involves bringing the Great Dao down into the human world, enabling humanity to seek from Heaven greater and more abundant transcendent resources, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
One must clearly realize and personally verify that by means of the process created by oneself, one aligns with heaven and earth, with the great Dao, with the infinite, with emptiness, and with the great cosmos, thereby establishing a fundamental cause for inviting blessings from heaven to descend and transform. Only then can it be possible to promote a clear understanding of the inherent conditions of the original spirit—that is, to differentiate the nature of the original spirit’s causal substance.
It can serve as a turning point for upward ascension or downward decline. Based on one's own efforts, what conditions are required? What level? What state of being? What heavenly kingdom must be transcended? For those who hold sincere religious beliefs, how can they aspire to achieve this within a single lifetime?
Thus, one can ascend to the Pure Land, the Heavenly Realm of Haotian, the Non-Ultimate Heavenly Realm, the Void Heavenly Realm, or the Cosmic Heavenly Realm, achieving the concept and goal of transcendence. The reason why sentient beings and original spirit children remain trapped in the cycle of reincarnation within the human world is precisely because they are unable to transcend toward the heavens and lack the true celestial ladder of the Great Dao and the necessary karmic conditions.
The primordial spirits descend and transform, shaped by their inherent substance.
Essence—also referred to as genes or DNA—is merely a difference in terminology. In reality, all their functions are the same. It is precisely through this condition that all tendencies and desires are directed and exercised. For the growth and transcendence of all sentient beings' original spirits, this must allow oneself to have greater room for development.
This is about having a steadfast determination and confidence in one's goal, which can propel one to achieve the state of Buddhahood in this very lifetime, transcending all realms. It is what Buddhism refers to as the "Great Bliss of Nirvana." To attain this within the conditions and circumstances of such an upward journey, the principles and requirements revealed by the Great Path are precisely those of entering the Middle Way without deviation or bias.
Moreover, one can transcend the confines of the Middle Way, not only establishing a truly clear and distinct conceptual framework, but also comprehending the function of "entering the Middle Way while transcending it." This is a dimension beyond the understanding of sentient beings, a reality that holds true across all religious sects and traditions. Furthermore, one may carefully observe: how does this manifest within the construction of Confucian thought?
Impartial and unbiased, one enters the path of the Golden Mean.
It is precisely about being impartial and unbiased, not falling into any extremes, and understanding clearly that "entering the middle way and departing from the middle way" is the fundamental cause of all ascension. This not only allows for genuine attainment within the framework of causal substance, but can also be sought and obtained from the "root of causal substance." Yet, this is precisely the origin of causes that the multitude of living beings find most difficult to fully comprehend.
To thoroughly comprehend and clarify all processes, how can one then hold the notion of "entering the Middle Way yet departing from it"? Moreover, one must not cling to any distinctions: pure or defiled, defiled or pure, tainted or defiled, defiled or tainted. This requires a profoundly advanced state of realization to achieve such conditions, thereby enabling the human world to genuinely attain elevation and transcendence.
Because of substance—thus, from the perspective of the human world, only then does the function of documentation arise, enabling the recording of all living beings in the human world, all creatures of the Earth’s star system, which share a common DNA as their foundation. This, in turn, stems from the substance descended from the great cosmos, through which one can come to understand the world of the Great Dao. If one merely wanders through the three paths of life and death and the six realms, what can be done?
Entering the Middle Way, one may depart from the Middle Way.
Unable to clearly perceive the limitations imposed by the Earth's celestial system, and even more incapable of transcending the obstacles of the mutual opposition between yin and yang, how can one enter the Middle Way and yet depart from it? This must be the function of a profound state of being, which alone can penetrate such boundaries. It is essential to understand that through Confucian thought, one enters and transcends the return to the root of causality—this is taking responsibility for oneself and achieving completion.
Otherwise, why is it that among sentient beings, many who have embraced faith and devoted thirty to fifty years to earnestly pursuing the clarity of the Great Path of Heaven and Earth often fail to achieve greater karmic attainments? Thus, one must reflect on whether, in past lives or the present life, they have been able to enter the karmic conditions that elucidate the unfolding of the Great Path, and thereby transcend them!
It is essential to thoroughly understand the nature of the genetic legacy from the past. Furthermore, one must ask whether, in this present lifetime, it is possible to transcend the limitations of one’s own religious beliefs. Only by taking action in this way can one truly pursue and adhere to the truth, enabling oneself to move beyond existing boundaries. This is the genuine path toward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
The foundational essence of the primordial spirits descended from the Wuji.
The Original Spirit’s Intrinsic Quality—is to achieve self-responsibility through such principles, rather than merely believing that one’s own religion is the best, the finest, the highest, or the most supreme. It is also essential to view all religions with equality: such an attitude is indeed highly inadvisable. The Heavens are fair and just to all sentient beings, and it is precisely through oneself that this fairness and justice are attained.
Achievement is attained through one's own efforts; it is by these conditions that one becomes master of oneself, rather than being confined merely by one's own perceptions, which hinder faith. Only thus can the inherent opportunities and causes that already exist within the original nature be fully realized, for they cannot be broadly developed without one's own diligent striving.
To achieve this realization, to embark on this transcendence, and to accomplish this return, it is essential to understand clearly: by examining the inherent nature of the primordial spirit and how to integrate the accumulations of the present life with those of past lives, one can make the choice to unfold or not unfold the karmic connections! However, the present moment surpasses the past, meaning one can now actively select the karmic foundation for achieving the return through transcendence.
The primordial spirit originates from the Wuji,  
descending into the realm of qi to rely on itself.
Filth and defilement add to the weight,  
Condemning one to the mortal realm's fate.
In their original substance all are alike,  
Each grows into its own distinct form.
Achievement and failure are two distinct paths;  
Ascent and descent are not the same.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits, truly a path where one attains achievement through oneself, and it is also through oneself that one obtains the karmic conditions bestowed by Heaven, enabling self-elevation, return, and transcendence. Only then can one truly "strive for a transcendence that spans millennia and generations" together with Heaven and Earth, the Great Dao, the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmos!
Chapter 17: The Purple Subtlety Star System
##Huoluo Lingguan Wang Tianjun
April 16, 2004, the twenty-seventh day of the intercalary second month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The Wuji Emperor of Culture and Literature arrives,  
The great Dao of the Vast Heaven arranges its works.
The sacred tasks of Guiwei are now laid to rest;  
The new spring of Jiashen shall once more be set in motion.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dipaṃkara, descended to compose this work. As elucidated in "The Great Dao of Haotian, Chapter Four: The Nature of Primordial Spirits," it becomes clear why the Heavens, in their fairness and justice, bestow upon sentient primordial spirits the causes and conditions for their return and transcendence.
All beings share the same inherent conditions, yet why do some transcend, some wander in the human realm, and others fall into the dark underworld? To understand all causes, conditions, and methods, one must also possess unwavering determination to achieve them. Otherwise, how could one return to the celestial realm and transcend within a single lifetime? It is about becoming the master of oneself, not a slave to oneself. The choice and decision lie entirely within, determining the difference between future attainment and the cycle of rebirth.
Chapter Eighteen: The Three Stars of the Eastern Dipper
##Wuji Xiangu (Immortal Maiden of the Infinite)  
##Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
April 20, 2004, the second day of the third lunar month, jiashen year (Tuesday)
Taibai flourishes in the mortal realm;  
The Star Lord writes with sincerity at the year's dawn.
Plum blossoms bloom everywhere, gold and silver abound,  
Superior genes bring true blessings to the land.
Enhanced by superior genes.
Human beings, through the transformation of inherent qualities, establish the foundation for upward advancement. It is essential to cultivate growth with superior genes and further select even higher-quality genes to achieve accomplishments. Under such conditions, this process bestows virtue and grace upon all living beings in the future world, aligning precisely with the predetermined policies and sacred duties of the Heavenly Mandate for elevation.
Granting the myriad beings of the vast world the ability to receive this virtuous grace, and allowing future generations to benefit even more profoundly, requires the participation of all sentient beings in the world to enact and propagate this benevolent influence. This must be accomplished with the fulfillment granted by the Heavenly Will, which selects and cultivates superior qualities to achieve progress, enabling upward growth and transcendence.
Only by achieving the quality required for the future 21st-century Lotus Pure Land can one truly ascend. This is because, amidst the spectrum of qualities from inferior to superior, if one fails to possess greater excellence, it becomes impossible to foster growth in the sentient world, and it is difficult to attain the elevation brought by genuine, high-quality virtue.
The Essence of Eugenics Genes
It will manifest in superior quality, precisely benefiting from the selection of more excellent genes, while also being guided by moral principles. For all living beings in the future world, all may receive the shelter of virtue. Otherwise, merely enhancing superior genes without emphasizing the elevation of moral quality will inevitably lead to a deficiency in morality within the human world.
It is precisely because it cannot long endure to bestow virtue and shelter upon sentient beings, and within the heavenly virtue and its workings, it is indeed necessary to be so! To comprehend this, one must view it from a moral standard that is relatively elevated. For the myriad sentient beings, whether they can secure blessings for future generations depends not merely on the pursuit of enhancing the quality of life alone!
Undoubtedly, in the construction of elevating human nature and spirituality, there would be no greater room for benefit without clarity: under the transformative influence of virtue upon the human world, it is essential to possess the necessary conditions and functions. How to achieve a good and high quality in what is required for survival—this is the growth that should be attained in the human world.
Enhancement of Eugenics Quality
Granting all living beings in the sentient world the ability to receive the blessings of virtue is to create greater room for growth in the future world; otherwise, relying solely on the role of "borrowing talent" for improvement, without adhering to the standards of "moral principles" that align with the righteous order of heaven and earth, will ultimately fail to provide greater benefits for future generations.
It is through the human world that all those who can guide the survival of humanity within the Earth's star system must come to understand that the standards of morality present a significant test. Otherwise, in the future, there will only be an elevation of material life, without a corresponding enhancement of human ethics and moral quality.
Precisely because of the deficiency in both human nature and spirituality, it is essential for them to complement and benefit each other. Only through this mutual fulfillment can the "nature and spirituality" achieve a thorough and penetrating effect. This constitutes a crucial link in elevating the quality of life for sentient beings, as well as enhancing the quality of their nature and spirituality.
Adding Genes
If sentient beings are unable to empathize, the future moral standards and norms will differ from those of the present. Moreover, all genes are integrated into Earth's realm through the "borrowing mechanism" of extraterrestrial scientific talents, without distinction among one another, all elevated in a fair, selfless, and impartial manner.
Moreover, we should treat each other with universal compassion, fraternity, and equality, without relying on any privileges or connections to bind us. It is essential to understand that the Great Dao operates upon humanity precisely without distinguishing between "the human realm and the celestial realm." Both are fundamentally nurtured and blessed by the vast cosmos—this is indeed the way it is!
It is through understanding the process by which all life in the vast world depends on and aligns with its existence that we can clearly grasp the fundamental fairness of "heaven covering all without bias, earth carrying all without partiality." Whether it concerns the "borrowing" of beings from extraterrestrial star systems or the myriad races and species of the current Earthly star system, all are equally and justly protected and cared for as one unified whole.
Genetic Eugenics Enhancement and Modification
It enables an elevation and transcendence of the past, present, and future. In the cyclical shifts of time and space, humanity, through each cycle of rebirth, has largely remained mired in the Five Turbidities of the degenerate age, seldom able to break free from the constraints of samsara. This, in turn, becomes a limitation for humankind.
This kind of person is unable to comprehend the essence of samsara—how to elevate, transcend, and utilize it. Through the repetitive cycles of human existence, sentient beings become numb and indifferent, each solely focused on their own survival needs. Consequently, they repeatedly sink into the recurring patterns and obstacles of samsara, again and again.
Why must the heavens continuously employ the method of screening the essence of genes? How can one obtain superior genetic quality? It is precisely through the ongoing act of reincarnation and selection; otherwise, how could the virtuous grace of the heavens and high-quality genes be elevated and refined? This is the way it is across all realms within the mortal world!
From the perspective of the Heavens, this is indeed a rather helpless predicament. Yet, unknown to many, when all methods seem exhausted, within the fabric of time and space, there emerge numerous opportunities to elevate the fundamental causes and conditions. This enables sentient beings and primordial spirits to transcend their roots and inherent qualities, achieved through continuous refinement and creation.
The excellence achieved by superior genes transcends all.
It is precisely due to the accumulation of negative causes from the past that humanity often fails to clearly comprehend why the Heavens act in such a manner. Otherwise, why not simply allow sentient beings to "graze freely like cattle"? Thus, within the "great virtue of Heaven," which nurtures all beings and all things between heaven and earth, lies the repeated elevation of humanity—the most spiritually endowed among all creatures.
Thus, within the causal substance, there exists a selective function that can transcend. However, sentient beings and original spirits are all unable to clearly comprehend why, through each cycle of reincarnation and transformation, they fail to achieve greater benefits. Instead, they remain deeply constrained and hindered within the cycles of rebirth. From the perspective of original spirit children who truly cultivate and practice, this is truly a matter of helplessness!
Although it is a construct of inner contemplation, it may also feel as though it should be so. Yet, due to methods, opportunities, time, space, and one's own insufficient resolve, the divine opportunities and favorable conditions bestowed from Heaven are often negated. From the perspective of Heaven, this is even more unbearable, as it inevitably obstructs all of humanity!
Riding the foundation of Yue, descending to the mortal dust,  
Superior genes are bestowed to grant authenticity.
The process of selection is akin to reincarnation,  
It is precisely the transformation for returning to the heavenly vehicle.
All sentient beings find it hard to comprehend,  
Yet the grace of Heaven is profound and intent.
If one struggles to grasp the will of Heaven,  
Each cycle of rebirth grows harder to attain.
This verse! It is mutually encouraged among all sentient beings and original spirits; that is, under the virtuous grace of Heaven, there is a process of imprinting and verification, which can certainly benefit and fulfill the myriad sentient beings, enabling them to transcend. Whether one can comprehend this depends on having one's own directed mind and nature, for only then can one achieve growth in the future.
Could it be that among all living beings in the vast world, none can transcend, none can ascend and return? Alas! Sorrowful! Truly sorrowful! It is essential to diligently correct one’s own mistakes—only then is it right! Today, I shall remain at Chongxin without returning, to bestow blessings and auspiciousness upon everyone! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 19: The Four Stars of the Western Dipper
## Nine Heavens Director of Destinies, True Lord Protector of the Household
April 6, 2004, the seventeenth day of the second lunar month in the jiashen year (Tuesday).
Limitless, selfless, and impartial,  
Great power, great virtue, and the great Dao's guardian.
At the arrival of the revered New Year’s return,  
The Bodhisattva opens the year with a gathering of writing.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Immortal Elder Li Taibai has descended to our Chongxin Academy to compose the fifth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." In this chapter, the quality of "Eugenic Genes" is elucidated. However, due to time constraints, it is not possible to provide a more detailed account of all future applications within the work.
It shall be left for the next occasion, to be supplemented and connected by another immortal or Buddha. This is yet another profound and difficult-to-understand karmic affinity to be recorded in writing. Moreover, regarding the "auspicious beginning of the new spring," all is blessed and as desired. Our grand expansion this year is already imminent. All virtuous students must unite wholeheartedly and work together to promote the Great Dao—this is the way to establish your own merits.
For the future world of humanity, there shall be a guiding principle to follow; tomorrow is Saturday again, and the Zen insight that dispels confusion should proceed as in the past. Moreover, with the submission of the book on *The Great Dao Without Limits* approaching, all efforts must be redoubled to achieve the full purpose of its propagation and expansion. Indeed, it is essential that people strive diligently toward this end.
It is essential to understand the intentions of the divine beings and the Heavenly Realm, as well as the hopes and expectations placed upon all deities and practitioners of the Chongxin lineage, which grow deeper with each passing year. We must unite even more closely in our efforts to propagate the teachings, taking responsibility before the Heavenly Realm and the divine beings, for this is also taking responsibility for our own future. I earnestly hope for this! I earnestly hope for this! Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!
Chapter 20: The Five Stars of the Central Dipper
##Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang
April 30, 2004, the twelfth day of the third lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The Southern Continent is upheld by the vast heavens,  
Where heavenly virtue, selfless, extends the Dao's reign.
Lord Wenchang descends upon Chongxin,  
Sifting and classifying to reveal the genetic essence.
Classification by Genetic Quality
From the perspective of the essence of superior genes: In the cyclical process of reincarnation, sentient beings and primordial spirits undergo a selective function, enabling them to be categorized accordingly. This is precisely what sentient beings and primordial spirits are unable to comprehend regarding how to act and conduct themselves in the vast world, so as to achieve growth in causal qualities and attain transcendence through selection.
Sentient beings must undergo growth and necessity to understand: under what conditions, whether for the future or the present? Furthermore, through the process of selection, the original flawed genes are transformed and elevated, categorized via this screening. It can be said: like attracts like. Otherwise, how could the original spirits of sentient beings, whether good or bad, superior or inferior, be distinguished?
If they are all placed together, it is likely that there will be a contaminating effect on the excellent genes, and this contamination often spreads to the entirety, leading to widespread pollution and staining. It can be clearly understood that both "contamination and being contaminated" are precisely the factors that prevent the fundamental qualities of excellence from being elevated and enhanced as the primary causes.
Growth through Genetic Enhancement
It is through the impurity and defilement that one comes to understand: being mired in contamination makes it impossible to ascend; instead, one will continue to sink into the turbid and evil world of the five impurities. This is precisely why the Heavenly Realm desires sentient beings to cleanse their pollution and undergo purification for elevation, thereby bringing about the selective function of "defilement-to-purity and purity-to-defilement" based on inherent qualities. How is this so?
Once again, it is a matter guided by the cycle of rebirth—one must not sink into the defilement or contamination, but rather transcend it. How should one approach the process of purity and defilement inherent in one’s fundamental nature? Only by elevating the understanding of purity and defilement can the interplay between them be thoroughly integrated into the original essence of one’s nature, merging it with a broader moral framework.
This is why the heavens use moral principles to sift the sentient primordial souls, and in the future world, will judge human survival based on the virtue they cultivate in the mortal realm. It must be understood that in the 21st century, the descendants of the Yan and Huang emperors in the Central Land will surpass the sentient primordial souls of other nations in the widespread practice of morality.
It must be clearly understood: For the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land in the 21st century, it can be said that they can play a pivotal role in the humanistic world. If the humanistic world is to serve as a means of "borrowing talents" from Heaven, then since those born of the Yan and Huang lineage are numerous, they ought to show compassion in the process of moral reliance and judgment.
Screen all essential requirements
It is precisely the endowment for the future, capable of serving as a foundation for virtuous descendants and a basis for achievements. One must understand: what kind of ancestors one has will attract what kind of descendants—this is an immutable law throughout the ages. It is also granted by the Heavenly Providence to sentient beings, serving as the foundation for a moral world and providing humanity with the means for upward growth.
In the vast world, all races and living beings are as such. What kind of selection is then achieved in the human world? It is eugenics, deficiency, excellence, or corruption—all are determined by the inherent qualities of individuals and the virtues inherited from their ancestors! Only with the support of such conditions can human genes be transformed.
Moreover, it involves the differentiation and integration of what is currently referred to as the WTO in the context of the greater world and humanity. It is essential to clarify: why can the sentient beings and original spirits in the Taiwan region achieve transcendence and integration with neighboring nations? This process involves genetic harmonization and selection, enabling fusion with superior nations, which serves as the foundation for passing on excellent qualities to future generations.
Conditional Category Filtering
To have a future action of spreading virtuous connections, it is also because of harmonizing excellent genes in the present moment. From the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, this will bring even greater benefits to sentient beings. Through the outstanding lineage of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, combined with the superior qualities of other nations, such eugenic genes can be integrated and passed down.
In the future, it is certain that we will attract the role of borrowing superior breeds from extraterrestrial galaxies—space babies—resonating with each other right in our own homes! One must understand: what is the virtue and grace of our ancestors? And what is the quality of our own genes? Furthermore, by thoroughly comprehending the strengths and weaknesses of both parties' genes, this is precisely the great project of genetic transformation ordained by Heaven!
Furthermore, by considering the inherent conditions of genes themselves, it becomes possible to determine which genes can merge under these conditions, thereby serving a classifying function that allows like to attract like. It is precisely the superior genes within superior qualities that can fulfill the moral character of a nation, and it is through the gathering of moral genes that the nation is perfected.
Classification of Technological Genes
Technological quality, in turn, clusters by its kind, forming the quality of a nation's transcendence—and further, clustering by the genes of this transcendent quality. In a nation that has achieved such transcendence, what other quality genes exist? In a nation with such quality genes, how are sentient beings and original spirits enabled to screen, classify, and cluster the undesirable genes?
It is determined by Heaven: what conditions, what genes, what achievements? Through the reconstruction project of technological civilization, in the future, which galaxies will one be able to traverse? In the present, it becomes clear what conditions and inherent qualities underlie one's actions and conduct. All of this is guided by moral principles as the foundation.
It is precisely due to the existence of human ethics and morality—a fine tradition that does not deviate from eternal truths—that the moral norms bestowed by Heaven serve to categorize and elevate. Through screening and classification, these norms are elevated across different nations, varying inherent qualities, and diverse conditions, undergoing cycles of renewal and refinement for further advancement.
Screening, Classification, Growth, Enhancement
Rather than allowing the cycle of rebirth to descend further into degradation; from the perspective of the heavens above, this is deemed undesirable. Only by adhering to moral principles can we inspire future generations endowed with virtuous moral genes, allowing us to mutually reflect on the extent of our own moral integrity. This condition also serves as a foundation for fostering the growth of future technological civilization.
It can lead to greater elevation; only then will we not be confined solely to technological civilization, allowing the moral norms that guide our actions to be buried. This is one of the most crucial aspects in the divine process of selection and classification, precisely using the norms of the human world as the standard. In the 21st century, it is precisely the century of grand expansion for all the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land.
The descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, guided by moral principles, have achieved the elevation of technological civilization. This is precisely the effect of superior genetic conditions, as it should be. Thus, under the complete authority and guidance of Heaven, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land during the 21st century can ascend, advance, and transcend.
The Chongxin Sect plays a pivotal role in all the unfolding processes of the future world. Without the Chongxin Sect, this would be impossible! This legacy is destined to bless future generations, making it the "vanguard of the Great Path" that should be promoted in the present. It is an eternal foundation that transcends all eras, established to propagate and expand its influence.
Superior genes descend upon us,  
Selection and classification are truly novel.
Each form of energy is distinctly categorized,  
Moral principles shape the heart of heaven.
Technology and civilization shape humanity,  
Pushed forward by the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land.
In the twenty-first century, all is accomplished,  
The radiance of virtue meets the vast heavens.
This verse! Together with all sentient beings and primordial spirits, it initiates a process that can bear witness to virtuous grace in the future. Guided by the overarching responsibility and norms led by Haotian, the Chongxin lineage plays the role of the formulator and implementer of the new moral code. All beings as teachers will also contribute to the future propagation of Chongxin as a whole, leading to greater growth and benefit.
Granting Chongxin a transcendence through the ages, capable of achieving accomplishments for millennia; this is the result of everyone’s diligent efforts—thank you all for your hard work! Today, amidst your busy lives, you have returned to Chongxin. The process of composing *The Great Dao Haotian* serves precisely as a timeless testament. As your teacher, I shall remain within the Chongxin lineage, joining together with all of you.

Limitless, selfless, without bias or contradiction,  
Manjusri ascends the dais, the virtuous assembly gathers.
May the Bodhisattva bless everyone well;  
The Chairman, amidst countless duties, returns to author this work.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Chairman of our lineage, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wenhang Shengdi, despite his busy schedule, has descended to Chongxin to compose the sixth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter provides a more detailed analysis of "Screening and Classification," allowing us to better connect the previous chapter with this one.
This is for the observation of the Heavenly Realm: the practice of virtue and grace descending to transform the world is precisely the great construction that only Chongxin can achieve; may this be understood! Moreover, the Heavenly Realm places increasing emphasis on all the spiritual affairs of the Chongxin lineage. Therefore, in regard to the actions and endeavors of Chongxin, which are established as the foundation of the lineage, greater, more abundant, and richer resources are bestowed to achieve success!
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper
##Supreme Mother of the Boundless Earth
May 7, 2004, the nineteenth day of the third lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
Open-minded enlightenment reveals true reality;  
The brush falls, blooming wondrous flowers of ultimate truth.
The Divine Official, Heavenly Lord Wang, descends to bestow blessings; through the examination of substance, he distinguishes and aids the great Dao's salvation.
Enhancement through differentiation of qualities.
Spiritual Seeding of Causes: By refining the essence of superior genetic traits, a process of selection and classification is undertaken. This serves to better align with the elevation of all sentient primordial spirits, allowing for differentiation based on causal qualities. Through this, the energy of each individual can be actualized, while also enhancing and transcending the fundamental causal nature of sentient primordial spirits, fostering upward growth and surpassing limitations.
Only through the manifestation of the Great Dao can the original spirits of sentient beings be guided to achieve elevation through the differentiation of causal qualities. This is judged through the realms of sentient beings and the heavenly world, where superior genetic traits can be clearly discerned and understood. Without this, how can the growth of all beings in the human world be elevated?
The distinction of superior genetic traits lies in their selective classification, which can differentiate the inherent quality of sentient beings' original spirits—whether they possess superior or inferior, good or flawed genetic essence. This distinction determines whether, in the cycle of reincarnation, one will ascend and transcend or sink and decline, marking the boundary between ascent and descent.
Differentiated by the nature of their growth
If sentient beings and original souls are unable to clearly understand how their inherent nature and genetic essence function, they may carefully reflect on their past to discern whether there has been a tendency toward ascension and transcendence, or merely a descent into deeper decline. This can be clearly verified and comprehended by oneself in the present moment.
Sentient beings arrive in this world to bear witness to the vast multitudes of the great cosmos. It is essential to understand that this very act of differentiation serves a purpose, and by analyzing one's own past karma, a discernible path and direction can be traced. In the present moment, should not every sentient soul, through reflecting on its own past, come to realize what kind of inherent conditions and predispositions have shaped its existence?
What kind of causal interaction is at play? It must be clearly and thoroughly understood. When one enables others to comprehend, it naturally arises from all past actions—that is, given certain conditions, there must be a correct direction to clarify. If one cannot gain clarity under such conditions, they will only sink into the declining essence of their inherent nature in the future.
The Substantial Cause of Differentiating Functions
It is essential to thoroughly understand the function of the original genes, and the most evident way to propel oneself toward greater growth is through personal verification and examination. Moreover, in the present moment of these sentient beings and original spirits, one can verify and clarify precisely what kind of causal qualities one possesses—this is exactly what one can comprehend most clearly!
If one cannot even comprehend this point, I ask all sentient beings: do you still hope to transcend and return in the future? That is impossible! Even within religious faith, the most urgent requirement is: how can one come to understand all of one's own shortcomings, and where exactly they lie?
If one cannot even thoroughly understand their own shortcomings, how can they hope for opportunities and conditions to rise and surpass themselves in the future? Furthermore, in the process of embracing religious faith, it can provide clarity about one’s own deficiencies, and the pursuit of religious faith should be part of establishing broader life goals.
Otherwise, the virtues and deeds of all religious founders and revered teachers can be imitated and compared by all sentient beings. Moreover, this very condition provides a foundation for surpassing them—that is, "there are teachers who produce top scholars," but it is uncertain whether "there are students who become top scholars." Not necessarily! This is precisely the reason why such instances are rare.
Achievement through the integration of essence.
This belief seeks to clarify for all living beings across the vast world: After entering a religion, how should one conduct oneself? How should one act? In determining the future direction for oneself, it is essential to have a clear overarching goal and to understand how the founders and revered figures of each religion, within the context of the current era and its circumstances, continue to influence future generations of followers.
All can serve as exemplary conditions for the sentient beings of the present moment, providing a basis for faith and reliance—that is, entering into religion. Each can follow the teachings of predecessors or transcend through the legacies of scriptures. Yet, such conditions precisely illustrate that there are "teachers who produce top scholars," but not necessarily "students who become top scholars."
This is following all the traces left by predecessors, and so it is with the norms of learning through the vehicle of transcendence. If sentient beings and original spirits cannot comprehend in the present moment how they should act, how then can they follow the vehicle of transcendence upon which faith relies? I fear that in the present moment, they may merely join religions to swell their numbers, fundamentally unable to grasp the true essence upon which faith depends.
The function of inductive differentiation as action.
If one can achieve elevation, it is only by entering into religion, registering as a follower of faith, thereby discerning in the present moment how to transcend! This discernment functions precisely to classify and summarize the necessary conditions. It is through function that one attains this, distinguishing and selecting conditions and their roles, thereby ascending to higher levels.
It must be understood: what is the fundamental function of the sentient beings' primordial spirit? One must realize that in religious faith, if one cannot transcend, one will sink—merely revolving repeatedly in a downward spiral. It is within this cycle that "transcendence and descent" are distinguished, which is precisely the great cause and condition that the primordial spirit of sentient beings cannot fully comprehend.
Why is it that some beings, within the cycle of reincarnation, repeatedly fall time and again? This is precisely: sinking into the very nature of the celestial cycle of rebirth! It is the failure to understand: how to transcend the cycle of reincarnation, and how to act and conduct oneself accordingly. On the contrary, one is bound to remain perpetually mired in the obstacles of descent.
If one distinguishes between ascent and descent, every sentient being and primordial spirit would undoubtedly choose to ascend rather than descend. Yet can reality align with one’s wishes, allowing one to ride the tide of ascent? No, indeed! In the cycle of reincarnation, one repeatedly sinks into the obstacles and whirlpools of descent.
Differentiation in quality arises from superior genes.
All sentient beings in the vast universe, originally spiritual in essence, ascend through the vehicle of reincarnation, offering the multitudes of living beings in this great world a means to return through transcendence! Yet, with such conditions in place, many original spirits of the sentient world are unable to enter into religion as a vehicle for transcendent return. This is because, once they enter the religion they believe in, what then?
Thus, one has always upheld the belief that one's own religion is the sole supreme faith in the world—the only, the most excellent, the most extraordinary, the highest, and the greatest—yet fails to penetrate the essence of religious faith. Even if one believes oneself to be the best, one must also be able to respect the excellence and uniqueness of others. Only in this way can one avoid becoming trapped within the confines of one's own limitations.
It is essential to understand that entering into religious faith requires fairness, equality, universal love, and selflessness without bias. Only by not limiting oneself to one's own beliefs can one achieve the best, most superior, highest, and greatest form of steadfast thinking for one's own future. This elevates and transcends all religions in the fair and vast world for their believers.
Where do one's own shortcomings lie? They become apparent only when one can see them clearly at a glance, thereby avoiding the limitations and obstacles imposed by religion after entering it. This is also the greatest ignorance among all religious believers. It is essential to break through such obstacles to become a joyful and wiser practitioner.
Superior genes guide the way forward,  
Screening and classification are done with care and compassion.
Quality distinguishes the superior from the deficient,  
Faith in fairness renews virtue and intent.
The vortex of self-made troubles leads into hardship; obstacles and equality both have their foundations.
Clarify how to dissolve and transform,  
Transcending the causes and conditions of the great path's multitude.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement shared with all sentient beings and original spirits; it serves as a sharp awakening for the vast multitude of living beings who follow religious beliefs, hoping they can understand! Indeed, with "scholar-teachers" to guide, there can also be "scholar-students" who transcend and achieve perfection, thus passing down a beautiful tale for generations!
I hope to create more opportunities for the Heavenly Will to expand the Great Dao, which means making greater contributions to the reverence of the heart and the True Buddha Heart School. Apart from this, all other causes and conditions will fade away. I sincerely hope for this! The Heavenly Will now governs the new dharma, with a special emphasis on the most crucial conditions of causation. Can you understand this? Today, having arrived here, I humbly request to stay overnight at Chongxin's "Dharma Assembly of the Boundless Great Dao for Submitting Scriptures."
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Eastern Celestial Star Realm
##The Mysterious Heavenly Emperor of the North Pole
May 14, 2004, the 26th day of the third lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The Great Way, boundless, unfolds its sacred texts;  
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva ascends the platform.
Celebrating the Lantern Festival on the Jia Shen Year: May fortune and prosperity fill your home with wealth.
Good evening to all sacred Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the seventh chapter of *The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven* is being composed through the descent of the Honorable Wang Tianjun, the Luminous Official of the Huoluo Division from the Southern Heaven Phoenix Affairs Academy. By distinguishing the nature of causes and effects, this chapter elucidates how believers should elevate their mindset!
Providing oneself with the conditions to transcend and rely upon in the future, achieving for oneself and for all living beings, is the right path! It is hoped that one may carefully contemplate the essence of this work, as it will bring greater benefit to oneself. This is the great virtue and grace of Heaven bestowed upon the human world, precisely the path chosen by the sentient original spirits themselves.
Congratulations to Cai Xiansheng and Li Xiansheng for completing their training as spirit-writing mediums. Today marks the formal bestowal of their official pen names as celestial scribes! May they cherish this honor, for it represents the unity of "Principle, Divinity, and Spirit"—a testament to the Great Dao’s validation. Through the interplay of "Principle, Spirit, and Divinity," may they ascend to even greater heights in their spiritual journey.
However, if one departs from the lineage of the Chongxin Sect or the True Buddha Heart Sect, and lacks any predestined opportunity or heavenly mandate in all matters, it is hoped that they will carefully contemplate the benevolent grace of Heaven, and dedicate themselves to promoting the Great Dao, expanding it throughout the universe. In this way, they may ascend, grow, elevate, and transcend!
Chapter 24: The Northern Celestial Frontier
##The Primordial Queen Mother of the West
May 18, 2004, the 30th day of the third lunar month, Year of Jiashen (Tuesday)
The Nine Heavens, boundless, pierce the great earth;  
The Lord of Fate, with compassion, watches over all living beings.
The virtue and grace of the household guardian extend throughout the Saha world,  
Yet the ranks of the True Lord are not all equal.
The levels of humanity are not uniform.
To select actions based on the essence of karma is to categorize karma by its nature. This categorization is differentiated by levels, and further classified according to the myriad beings within the vast universe. For the future, what kind of karma will come into play, and by what conditions and levels will one elevate? This depends on one's own inherent conditions and the choices one makes.
Reaching the point where one can distinguish between transcendence and downfall for oneself and for all sentient beings, through such relevant conditions, involves differentiating the varying levels of human individuals based on their inherent qualities, and further distinguishing them according to their individual karmic connections. This will also exert a distinct influence on the future world, enabling selection and classification in any environment or across time and space.
From one's own fundamental qualities, combined with the transformative influences of the present world, what conditions can be attained? What goals? What levels? In what realms? It is essential for each individual to distinguish between two aspects of future existence: the "direction of one's path" and the "discernment of one's nature."
Hierarchy differs from survival.
The distinction lies in what kind of realm, what level, and what karmic conditions one chooses to descend into, in order to fulfill the dependent conditions for each individual's attainment. For sentient beings and original spirits, there is a differentiation between ascending and descending—this is precisely determined by one's own choices, as well as distinguished by the karma stored within each individual's past genetic imprints. It is indeed profoundly true!
In the technological civilization of the 21st century, this holds true for any nation! Otherwise, if the energies of various causes and conditions—integration and repulsion—cannot coexist harmoniously within a nation, how can they provide a correct direction for survival? This is indeed the reality! What, then, is the nature and function of the inherent qualities and conditions of each entity?
How then can one achieve the transformation and renewal of one's inherent nature? It is to allow "reincarnation and rebirth" to serve a role of elevation! In all concepts within theistic religions, reincarnation is spoken of as a downward spiral of obstacles and limitations. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, how then can the myriad beings of the vast universe transcend and ascend?
It distinguishes the effects of different causal substances and uses the energy of each entity to transcend them. This is because, at the present moment, there is a process of selection, enabling the civilization and technology of the future world to achieve greater elevation and surpassing. Furthermore, from the perspective of religions in the current era, they have already undergone over two thousand years, yet they have remained confined to their original causal substances.
Education varies across different levels and realms of existence.
How can we expect the five sages of that era, who established their teachings with profound insight yet fundamentally lacked awareness, to have foreseen that over the course of more than two thousand years, the original transcendent qualities would have transformed so greatly? How, then, could these teachings provide future generations with a foundation for faith capable of seizing the opportunity for transcendence within a single lifetime? It is truly unimaginable!
Why, in this present era over two thousand years later, have so many obstacles arisen that hinder progress? Moreover, why is it impossible to transcend the fundamental equality of religions? And why, regardless of the amount of energy within each individual essence, is it necessary to understand: the grace bestowed by Heaven upon all living beings in the vast universe is truly boundless!
All are one body, equal, just, pure, non-action, and compassionate. Through these inherent qualities, one can transcend religious beliefs, harmonize all religions to achieve integration and equality, and also transcend through the unique qualities of each individual. This leads to the upward growth of goodness and elevation beyond.
It is precisely because of the equality of faith, which provides all sentient beings with a spiritual anchor, that the approach is correct! However, many fail to realize that religious believers themselves, due to their rigid attachments, often lack an equal heart, a compassionate heart, and a benevolent heart. This creates individual obstacles, and when viewed under such conditions, it appears both profoundly harsh and deeply regrettable!
Functions at Various Levels
Thus, with the erroneous concepts taught by predecessors, a believer with a pure heart, once immersed in the process of religious indoctrination, will hinder the great opportunity to return to heaven! Those who doubt may carefully observe that in the present era, all heavenly realms lack such sages, immortals, or buddhas, and are even more incapable of merging with the entire Haotian world!
Moreover, it is impossible to integrate the whole: the Wuji, the Void, and the macrocosmic world. This is precisely the obstacle and rigid, clinging notions encountered in all religions, yet one cannot break through this barrier to grant oneself greater space for growth. For believers of such faiths, how sorrowful and helpless this is!
It is simply because each individual is deeply entrenched in their own rigid attachments and finds it difficult to change. This keeps them perpetually trapped in the obstacles of this corrupt and turbid world, making it hard to rely on their individual conditions and inherent qualities to achieve the fulfillment of their own karmic causes. Consequently, they deprive themselves of the space to grow and progress. This reality applies to every individual’s inherent nature, regardless of their circumstances or beliefs.
Thus, for each entity itself, numerous impure thoughts and concepts are inevitably added to the causal substance. Moreover, this very function of causality is precisely what prevents greater opportunities for growth in the future world! It is essential to understand: although the "energy" of the causal substance that forms all living beings across the vast cosmos differs, the DNA causal substance remains the same.
Different Levels of Living
Regardless of any inherent nature, all sentient beings are thus. However, with the current state of technology in the human world, it remains impossible to verify this fundamental nature. Only through the passage of a long span of time can it be realized that each individual shares the same inherent nature—that is, they are all integrated by the same genes descended from the entirety of the great cosmos.
It is about whether one's own energy radiates light, whether it is abundant or merely confined to the human world, perpetually wandering and sinking within the vast cosmos! One must understand that the human world is not the eternal dwelling place for sentient beings and their original spirits; it is merely a temporary abode. Therefore, it is essential to thoroughly comprehend the original birthplaces of all beings and the conditions for survival in those realms.
Differences in levels lead to differences in realms. For humanity in the vast world, living within the space of Earth, it can be said that all are confined by the energy of "solar and lunar photosynthetic interactions." To achieve relative harmony of yin and yang within each individual, it is necessary to transcend through the radiance of one's own energy body, thereby attaining the fullness required for personal growth.
Otherwise, how could one achieve greater benefits? In the human world, it is said that even though yin and yang coexist, one can overcome any difficulty through firm determination and perseverance, attaining personal transcendence and accomplishment. Yet, in comparison to all the achievements of divine beings, buddhas, and saints in the past, how can one, within the interplay of yin and yang, reach such heights of transcendence?
All Levels of Human Existence
This is an achievement of a different level, which must be clearly understood: although the world of five impurities is a great dye vat, sentient beings within it can still choose a transcendent state free from contamination. How can one attain "entering the Middle Way while departing from it"? Moreover, the original spirits of sentient beings in the vast celestial realm (heaven and earth) must achieve elevation through their own efforts.
In reflecting on the growth that benefits oneself, the formation of opposites such as yin and yang represents the bittersweet experiences of the human world. These are merely achievements of "the positive and the negative," all of which leave an indelible mark. They serve as a warning and a reminder to sentient beings and original spirits: by remaining steadfast throughout one's lifetime, one can surely transcend and rise above.
Otherwise, how could the hearts and actions of sentient beings and original spirits be stirred toward upward elevation? To deeply comprehend the compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven is precisely to achieve, through contrast, all transcendence and return for sentient beings! Moreover, how could transcendence and accomplishment be so easily attained? Upon careful reflection, all becomes clear!
Selection is made based on the nature of causes and conditions;  
Genetic achievements pervade each individual entity.
Classification and distinction lie in levels,  
Different realms follow one's own affinity.
Past causes and conditions can bring fulfillment,  
Present growth is also attainable.
The two combine into one whole,  
Cultivating realms at different levels.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement with all sentient beings and original spirits, truly enabling oneself to achieve and return as a Mahayana practitioner with transcendent roots. Thank you all for accompanying me in this endeavor. Today, we have gathered at Chongxin as old friends for a heartfelt conversation. Due to the urgency of the Jade Decree issued recently, we did not have the chance to gather properly. Thank you all!
Chapter 25: The Western Celestial Realm
## Emperor of Southern Palace, Protector of Blessings
May 21, 2004, the third day of the fourth month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The Supreme Way of the Wuji has already submitted the records,  
Marking the causes of life, each being distinct and unique.
The Goddess protects the faithful heart,  
And watches over all her descendants with care.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Descending Lord of the Ninth Heaven, Guardian of Households and True Sovereign, has descended to compose the eighth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter clearly elucidates the different causes and conditions of "varying levels," allowing everyone to understand the distinctions between "negative achievements" and "positive achievements" in relation to the Heavenly Realm.
It is the fundamental cause for ascending beyond karma. Without this cause, all would merely sink into the turbid, evil world of the five impurities. Therefore, it is essential to understand how to elevate oneself through one's own "cycle of rebirth and recreation." This enables one to transcend and return in this very lifetime, and serves as the foundation for freely traversing the celestial realms of the vast universe in the future!
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Southern Celestial Frontier (Part 1)
## The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond of the Wuji
May 28, 2004, the tenth day of the fourth month in the Jiashen year (Friday)
The Loyal and Martial King descends in grace, Marshal Yue ascends the sacred stage.
The Sacred Path of the Heart: The Celestial Register of Haotian  
It is only right that reincarnation brings renewal.
How Reincarnation Recreates
Screening is a process of selecting all seed causes, which involves hierarchical differentiation. There are inevitably many that cannot integrate with the current era, nor align with the process of enhancing spiritual seed causes for renewal. Thus, the divine bestows the function of cause quality through reincarnation to facilitate elevation and transformation. It is essential to understand: reincarnation and renewal are means to ascend upward!
Rather than sinking into the limitations of all constraints, it is possible to clearly dissolve and transform the various negative habits accumulated in the present or past through the cycle of rebirth. This grants sentient beings greater capacity for growth, transcendence, and elevation in the present moment, ultimately benefiting them with greater rewards and enabling upward progress and enhancement.
Without distinction: day after day, month after month, year after year, throughout a lifetime, it is always thus, and this too lies within the cycle of the human world. It can be said: it is merely what is called in the human world "passing away" (in Taiwanese pronunciation) — that is, simply death. Only after one has passed away (departed) and perished is it possible to use such conditions to achieve transformation and growth.
How can one elevate through the cycle of rebirth?
It is precisely in this lifetime or the next, when one has the opportunity for a renewal and transformation, that the cycle of reincarnation in the human world operates in accordance with its own laws. Yet, constrained by the limitations of karma and karmic obstacles, one fundamentally cannot achieve the elevation and transcendence of the cycle of rebirth. It is only by thoroughly attaining the true sustenance and resources bestowed from above by Heaven that one can accomplish this ascension and transcendence.
It is not merely what is referred to in the human world as passing away or departing from life! Many sentient beings and primordial spirits are fundamentally unaware of how to ascend through the cycle of reincarnation. They lack the guidance to foster their own growth and transcendence, and thus fail to reap the benefits that can be gained in the present moment.
To understand the human world, one must recognize that all the joys and sorrows, or the adversities encountered in existence, inevitably provoke displeasure or rejection in human life. Sentient beings, by their original nature, favor favorable circumstances, while harboring considerable aversion to adversity. Consequently, they often fail to appreciate how the trials of the present world, ordained by Heaven, serve to refine and transform all living beings.
Furthermore, regarding the negative accumulations and deficiencies from past lives, one can undertake actions to elevate and transcend them. Such a concept of transcendence fundamentally does not exist within the human realm. Thus, how does the process of this present life, shaped by the accumulations of past lives, influence the experiences and journey of this lifetime?
Growth Through Reincarnation and Rebirth
One often encounters numerous trials and tribulations, especially when accumulating experiences forged through adversity. Often, these challenges become overwhelming for sentient beings, leading them to give rise to ignorant complaints and resentful thoughts. They inevitably blame Heaven, uttering words like "The heavens are unjust," and wonder why others can lead such smooth and prosperous lives.
Why is it that no matter how hard I strive, in the end, it only amounts to securing three meals a day! Time and again, burdened by overwhelming debts and lacking the favorable conditions for financial stability, there are even times when I cannot manage three regular meals. What is the purpose of all this struggle for survival? It would be better to end it all once and for all, rather than endure this continuous suffering!
One can thus break free from the constraints imposed by the obstacles of reincarnation. It is essential to understand that such a mindset is widespread, and many sentient beings and primordial spirits believe that death resolves all problems once and for all! In reality, the suffering endured in the future and the next life will be a hundred times greater than in the present. Regardless of how much one transcends any form of suffering, can this truth be truly comprehended?
When facing setbacks, adversities, slander, and all forms of injustice—be it disputes, conflicts, right and wrong, or good and evil—especially in times of dissatisfaction, such a reversal of right and wrong often arises. It is precisely through the trials of pain and hardship that those who once held hope in their hearts are often worn down until their fighting spirit vanishes entirely.
Rebirth and Growth Through Re-creation
In the context of the human world, such situations are all too common. When faced with a test of one's own mindset, how should one think and act to overcome all adversities? This is often unknowable. Moreover, such situations arise precisely from one's own inadequacies, which are frequently encountered.
To bestow upon sentient beings is precisely the reverse means of achieving elevation through causes and conditions. Will everyone desire this? Not necessarily! Amidst adversities and obstacles, one transforms all past unfavorable and insufficient experiences through a process of refinement, allowing oneself to be profoundly impacted. Moreover, by enduring all trials and tribulations in the human world, one attains the very capacity for transformation.
Furthermore, to achieve clear and comprehensive understanding of all worldly matters, it is essential to possess correct thinking. Only by considering both the positive and negative aspects of a situation can one facilitate one’s own "reconstruction of experience and transformation of thought." All growth inevitably leads to ensuring that past mistakes are not repeated in the future. Through the development of thinking and concepts, actions are also bound to undergo change.
Otherwise, even if one were already nailed down with four nails (dead and gone), there would still be no change. Yet, by this point, everything is already settled and judged. Given such inherent nature, habits, inertia, and the influence of a foul personality, will there be change in the next life? Not necessarily! Can it change in the present moment? If it could, that would be truly strange!
What would happen if it were recreated and elevated?
Wow! Such sentient beings, these original spirits, will further descend into the netherworld, sinking into repeated cycles of suffering, utterly unaware of what the grace of Heaven truly is. Even after undergoing religious refinement, they show not the slightest change, wasting decades of time within religion, all the while believing in their practice that deities and buddhas can protect and bless them.
It is merely a matter of one's own wishful thinking. After entering into religion, if one fails to change their own flawed thoughts and perspectives, they may mistakenly believe that simply by giving alms, making sacrifices and offerings, and by defending and supporting their faith, they can rest easy without a care.
Furthermore, after passing away in the future, the deities of one's believed religion will surely help oneself break free from all the constraints and obstacles of the underworld! For those who hold such beliefs, I ask: Can they truly understand the sorrows of sentient beings' souls in the cycle of reincarnation? Can they comprehend the causes and conditions for rebirth? After entering a religion, if one cannot achieve further elevation and transformation, what else can be done?
Formation entails repeatedly sinking into the cyclical obstacles of reincarnation. Yet, such circumstances are ubiquitous across all religions in the human world. How, then, can one speak of transcending and achieving liberation through reincarnation? Most people only perceive reincarnation as a descent into confined sorrow, and conversely, find it exceedingly difficult to conceive of growth and elevation.
The Function of Elevation and Re-creation
It is precisely the "inherent nature" itself that ascends or descends, offering opportunities for renewal in the cycle of rebirth. Otherwise, among all religions in the human world, even after decades of cultivation and selfless devotion, one may still end up clinging to rigidity and stagnation. For such practitioners, can it be said that they can ascend to the heavenly realms or the Pure Land? Surely not!
All will successively sink into the underworld, or be reborn as humans in the next life, only to return once more, again taking human form in the mortal world. Under such conditions, entering the human realm means that each life becomes more painful than the last, further deepening the unresolved trials and tests from previous existences.
Granting entry to correct all past mistakes allows for clarity: why human thought and concepts, influencing future paths, must bear the repayment of all past karmic causes and effects. This offers sentient beings and primordial spirits in the human realm the opportunity for self-recreation, as well as the means to ascend, grow, and transcend.
How to Recreate and Elevate the Cycle of Rebirth
It is precisely by being shaped and influenced by thoughts and concepts that one grows and benefits. Yet, when it comes to the karmic obstacles one creates, can one truly appreciate the virtue of heaven and earth and the process of evolution? It is precisely in each cycle of reincarnation within the human realm, with all its limitations and hindrances, that one fails to bring about any transformation in oneself throughout these cycles. That is what it truly means to be numb and indifferent!
Yet it cannot be said that the Divine is not compassionate. Under the impartial, equal, and merciful grace of the Divine, all sentient beings are granted equal opportunities. This very principle hinges on whether each individual makes a choice, thereby influencing all their thoughts and actions, and bearing the consequences of the correctness or error of their decisions.
After sentient beings and primordial spirits enter the human world, they can utilize its abundant resources for transformation. They then undergo all the bitter and sweet experiences of this life in the human realm, which give rise to numerous achievements through adversity. Yet if one says: these are accomplishments born of adversity, and what one personally deems as unworthy—what can be done about it?
Reincarnation is difficult to alter once set in motion.
Sentient beings are unable to use the positive and negative aspects of events to observe meticulously. The resources that can be provided for their attainment are indeed abundant. Otherwise, the many favorable circumstances offered by Heaven allow sentient beings to enjoy pleasures in the human world. In this way, these original spirits of sentient beings, in relation to the primordial Wuji Heavenly Realm of the past, have also applied this kind of virtuous grace and process.
Because the period of enjoyment has been too prolonged, all inherent dispositions have already been derived, and upon descending again to the world of Haotian, it remains the same; further descending to the realm of form, transformation takes place. Why do sentient beings repeatedly sink into the Five Turbidities and the evil world? To understand the fundamental obstacle and its cause, one must comprehend: why does Heaven, in reverse, accomplish all that nurtures human existence? Is it not so!
Alas! It is truly difficult to comprehend the benevolent grace of Heaven. Indeed, "heavenly blessings" often come through adversity, fostering growth and accumulation. One may carefully observe how swiftly one can fall, yet how slowly one learns and grows. Thus, descent is often swift, while ascent is gradual. Can we truly fathom the mysteries within this? Most of humanity is exactly like this!
Levels are distinguished by the causes sown;  
In the cycle of rebirth, one forges oneself anew.
Recreated, elevated, descending in division,  
The subtle essence draws from Heaven's virtue and grace.
Human prosperity is granted by heaven's decree; from the boundless realm descends the nurturing light of the vast firmament.
Through a thousand past lives, it has always been thus,  
Renewing and reshaping the virtue of heaven's endowment.
This verse! Fellow sentient beings and original souls, carefully contemplate how the great virtue, grace, and compassion of Heaven descend and transform. If one can understand the mysteries within through this work, they are truly wise. If unable to empathize with the reasons therein, they remain but beings destined for further cycles of reincarnation and suffering! Thank you all for your companionship in this endeavor. Gratitude! Today, we have troubled Chongxin with our presence.
Chapter 27: The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions (Part 2)
## Heavenly Venerable of the Void, Sage Emperor of Literary Balance
June 1, 2004, the fourteenth day of the fourth lunar month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The Earth Mother ascends to the realm of the boundless reverent heart,  
Where all sages learn and cultivate, reaching the pinnacle of growth.
Understanding the author's compassionate intent,  
Turning the opposite side leads to ascension.
Good evening to all saints, sages, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Five Saints of the Sacred Gate—the Loyal and Brave King Wumu, Marshal Yue—has descended to compose the ninth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter offers a clearer analysis of the growth and downfall in "Reincarnation and Re-creation," helping everyone understand the causes and conditions of the past.
Why does Heaven desire that sentient beings ascend and transcend, rather than descend into the cycle of sinking and reincarnation? In contemplating one’s own future, where should one begin? Truly, one must grant oneself the opportunity to rise and transcend. Otherwise, even if one enters a religion and cultivates for thirty or fifty years, sacrificing and devoting an entire lifetime—what can be achieved?
It is precisely because there is no opportunity for transformation at all, that from the perspective of immortals and buddhas: it is utterly helpless, and it prevents one from elevating and transcending oneself. By understanding and carefully reflecting on the causes and conditions behind today's work "Rebirth and Renewal," one can create greater space for personal growth and advance toward how to propagate and promote it in the future.
In response to recent changes in our promotional methods, this lineage will implement these approaches in the future expansion of our Dao affairs, which is expected to yield visible results. Therefore, it is hoped that everyone can take responsibility for their respective duties, without offering numerous excuses, and avoid assuming that their contributions will be deemed insufficient in many aspects.
Moreover, from the perspective of immortals and Buddhas, this is not the conduct or mindset that a true cultivator should possess! Can you comprehend all the shortcomings and errors herein? How can they be rectified and transformed? It is hoped that all, from top to bottom, will unite in heart and mind, working together to propagate and guide others toward the Great Dao! Thank you all for your hard work today. Farewell!
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Central Celestial Star Realm—Doumu Palace
##Void Principle Virtue Guanyin Bodhisattva
June 4, 2004, the seventeenth day of the fourth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The true principle of Heaven and Earth at the North Pole,  
The profound meaning of the Great Way of Mysterious Heaven, without limit.
God descends from the vast heavens,  
Yet the deluded masses, hindered by obstacles, shun Him.
Where Lies the Obstacle to Sinking
The distinction between reincarnation and rebirth lies precisely in the division between ascending transcendence and descending degradation. To understand what is required for the survival of each sentient being and primordial spirit, one must closely observe human existence. All desires inherent to survival inevitably encounter numerous obstacles and setbacks. In the human world, is it truly impossible to act according to one’s own will and fulfill every wish?
Moreover, what is the fundamental reason for being unable to fulfill one's desires even when seeking the actions driven by greed? It is precisely the need for transformation that should be recreated from the state of descent! For sentient beings and original spirits, if they fall into the human world, there remains an opportunity to transcend and return. But if they descend into the underworld, how then can they aspire to rise and surpass it?
It is essential to redouble one’s efforts with utmost sincerity, striving diligently to nurture one’s thoughts and perspectives. In truth, one has already descended into the underworld—precisely what the mortal realm refers to as the dark abyss of hell. Observe carefully how all sentient beings and original souls survive and cling to existence. If one cannot elevate oneself upward, one will only sink further into the depths.
All obstacles of sinking into the cycle of rebirth
This kind of existence is only within the human realm, suited to the comfort of survival. However, if one desires greater gains, it will stir the greed of pursuit and desire. In the future, it is bound to affect the presence or absence of the "blessings, karma, and material conditions" sown in past lives, which can be chosen. It is precisely in the human realm that such demands arise.
It will have an impact on all desires for existence. If one cannot achieve greater gains, nor accumulate sufficient "universal currency," it is necessarily related to the amount of one's accumulated blessings and karma. This is precisely the understanding and mindset that the sentient world should cultivate. In the human world, one must utilize the karmic conditions of currency to achieve fulfillment.
Only then can one adapt to the vast world as a whole, moving through it without obstruction. Furthermore, by meeting the demands of survival and dependence, one allows oneself to accumulate the necessary conditions and karmic connections—this pertains to understanding, within the karmic retribution of one’s past lives, whether one possesses these conditions or not, and making choices accordingly! This necessity for such conditions and karmic connections is, in fact, inherent to all human beings.
How to Overcome the Obstacles of Degeneration
This will foster a lifestyle in the human world that meets the conditions for such a "universal currency." If one can incorporate this need into one's own resources, it will be fulfilled. However, if the conditions for abundant currency are not met, it must be due to one's own deficiencies, lack of restraint, or excessive spending, which will inevitably lead to the formation of debt.
Moreover, within this state of indebtedness, one often betrays oneself: the nature of the mind and spirit, hindered by the causes that obscure the seed of Buddha-nature. In this world of sentient beings, it is further thrown into chaos by what is known in human society as "money"—the so-called "Mani." This leads one to sell out one's own spirituality. I ask all wise beings: Should we endure such afflictions in this human world?
In the human world, where the "orientation toward survival" serves as the guiding principle, there arises a demand for currency, which inevitably relies on chains of affairs. And because these chains of affairs exist, they provide sentient beings and primordial spirits with the means to fulfill their desires and attain sufficiency. This becomes the dividing line between one’s ascent and descent, turning into the very obstacles that confine humanity.
If one cannot fully meet the demands of abundance, time will inevitably slip away, and desires will remain unfulfilled! This also means being unable to provide for oneself, whether in seeking basic sustenance or amassing wealth, which gives rise to all manner of dissatisfaction and lament toward humanity. This is precisely the point of downfall and obstruction for sentient beings, rooted in greed and desire—yet paradoxically, it can also become a catalyst for achievement!
Obstacles and Difficulties Resolved
The process of creation and advancement in the human world is precisely about propelling forward toward a bright future. If humanity cannot resolve its own deficiencies and dissatisfactions, it will inevitably activate its own conceptual thinking to gather the conditions for abundant and sufficient desired resources. This leads to the frequent sacrifice of the purity of one's original essence in pursuit of what one perceives as necessary.
It is precisely because of being tainted by all the worldly, impure thoughts and constructs. If this condition persists for too long or goes too far, one fundamentally loses their innate moral conscience and falls into the depths of delusion and obstruction. Moreover, driven by the demands of survival and attachment, the human world is unable to fulfill the endless desires, preventing one from attaining true abundance.
Yet, they will repeatedly find themselves unsatisfied. If such a state persists too long in the human world, they will only sink forever into the mundane reality of mortal existence. Worse still, they may betray themselves by indulging their desires and greed, deepening their plight and easily driving themselves into the shadowy underworld, where they unknowingly endure punishment as retribution.
How to Transform and Elevate Through Obstacles
Under such circumstances, how many can truly discern whether they will descend into the netherworld in the future? None! None can understand what it is that blinds them in their pursuit of material desires, nor how to break free from this comparative influence. If given a chance for introspection, one might say: far too few, far too few!
In the human world, the food chain supplies all that is necessary for warmth and sustenance. Thus, within this food chain, a chain of affairs inevitably intertwines with it. How can a balance be achieved between the food chain and the chain of affairs? This is the boundary that distinguishes the descent from the ascent of sentient primordial spirits, formed through the combination of the food chain and the chain of affairs.
It is by making demands on all "orientations toward existence" and "renunciations of existence" that these two are distinguished. By differentiating between orientations toward existence and renunciations, one inevitably allows oneself to distinguish between ascension and transcendence, or descent and degradation. Moreover, the majority of human beings desire precisely this.
Sinking and obstacles hinder all achievements.
The distinction between the food chain and the chain of affairs in the human world is precisely what creates the karmic obstacles of good and evil. Human beings often encounter obstacles of principle that hinder their upward progress, instead causing them to fall into downward impediments. Through their choices in survival orientation, they enter the boundary of rebirth and re-creation.
To ascend or to descend? That is precisely the distinction! Otherwise, all sentient beings could grow without ascending, which would entangle them in their own karmic obstacles, trapping them in a vortex of hindrances from which they cannot escape. It must be clearly understood: the Great Dao offers all beings the very cause and condition for transformation and growth!
That is precisely the great virtue and compassion of Heaven. The human world can, through the process of cultivation, facilitate rebirth and renewal, thereby achieving elevation and transcendence. It should not be that rebirth and renewal lead to a fall into the obstacles of degradation, making it difficult to attain virtuous growth. This can be changed through one’s own efforts in the present moment.
Two Divisions of Rebirth and Renewal: Ascent and Transcendence Are Both Mahayana
Falling and sinking into the netherworld,  
Blocking the return to the world of the living.
The nourishment of growth is provided,  
Virtue in heaven relies on deeds accomplished.
If such hindrances arise here,  
It is not fitting to seek conceptual thoughts.
This verse! With all sentient beings and original spirits, we mutually fulfill the necessities we each desire and must achieve, making choices based on what is needed or not. This allows us to become joyful practitioners! By carefully contemplating all its inner meanings, one can surely comprehend many mysteries! Thank you all for accompanying this work and troubling Chongxin for a while. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The World of the Middle Heaven
## Golden Palace Prime Minister, Marquis Wu of Zhuge
June 11, 2004, the twenty-fourth day of the fourth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
A rare chance brings us together;  
The Queen Mother ascends her stage, as sages gather.
The sublime cause of the heart is unparalleled,  
Throughout the vast heavens, all realms revere it.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Five Saints of the Sacred Gate—the Mysterious Heavenly God of the North Pole—has descended to compose the tenth chapter of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*. This chapter offers an initial exposition on the causes and conditions of "sinking obstacles," clarifying how the human world is constrained by both the food chain and the chain of affairs.
How can one dissolve obstacles? This is the key to becoming a joyful practitioner in the human world. Otherwise, when everything is bound and entangled by the karmic consequences of cause and effect, how can one break free from this vortex of hindrances? In truth, it lies in the conditions one can grasp and uphold in the present moment. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
Chapter 30: The Vast Starry Expanse
##Void Holy Virtue, Celestial Holy Mother
June 15, 2004, the twenty-eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
Nangong teaches and transforms sentient beings,  
Blessing and aiding all beings to achieve fulfillment.
The Emperor descends, manifesting in the Vast Heaven;  
As the sunken world is transformed, virtue flourishes in its prime.
Humanity sinks into depravity, awaiting transformation.
Reincarnation and Renewal: The entry thus involves transforming the obstacles of downfall. Through downfall, it is essential to have the conditions for improvement and elimination; otherwise, for sentient beings in the world of affection, it becomes impossible to transcend all their obstacles in the present moment, and to realize that in the human world, there must be a greater role for growth.
It is precisely through the cycle of rebirth and renewal that one can transform the obstacles of sinking into delusion, thereby dispelling one's own ignorance. What is offered is this: it is up to oneself to distinguish between the path of "ascending to achievement" and the path of "descending into downfall." Both are chosen willingly by oneself, reflecting the differences in what one desires and prefers to select.
To achieve rebirth and the conditions for upward progression and elevation, it is essential to have a genuine and truthful construction of one's own "mental consciousness." This is stored in sentient beings' "eighth consciousness," which fundamentally cannot be fully understood in the human world, nor is its connection to one's own existence fully grasped.
How to Transform Sinking and Rising into Transcendence
Entering the human world, yet unable to comprehend the nature of one's own obstacles, one then lacks the fundamental conditions for upward progress. Moreover, failing to understand how to advance within the human realm inevitably creates hindrances that block transcendence. This results in the sentient world being divided between the "chain of affairs" and the "food chain."
What is required by the "chain of affairs and food chain"? It is precisely through distinguishing between upward and downward differentiation based on the causes and conditions one can cultivate for growth, and by utilizing the realm of reality inherent in the human world, to achieve genuine benefit for one's own survival orientation.
It must be clearly understood: because the food chain gives rise to the chain of affairs, the combination of these two constitutes the world of reality. From the perspective of all human beings and sentient beings in their existence, these are necessary actions. It is precisely due to the necessity of "food" that the directional action toward "affairs" arises, forming the mutual necessity between the two.
In the human world, how do we achieve the necessity of survival orientation? Is this need exclusive to the human world? Not at all! It is because food is the paramount necessity of the people, and all living beings capable of activity rely on food as their foundation. Indeed, "adequate nourishment" stands as the foremost priority for all creatures, representing the primary link in the food chain.
How can the cycle of sinking and rebirth be transformed?
In the human world, the availability of currency serves as the condition for the supply of the food chain. Whether this condition of currency is fulfilled determines whether abundance through currency can be achieved. Through the processes shaped by human society, the distinction between the "food chain and the chain of affairs" is created, leading to differentiated choices and treatments in handling matters.
It is precisely by rectifying all errors and fallacies in the realm of true reality through the directed application of one's own inherent nature, and by enabling sentient beings and original spirits to seek the fulfillment of causal conditions for universal currency, that distinctions in the selection and rejection of all transactional chains are created. Thus, in the human world, there emerges the provision of food and affairs, and through both the food chain and the transactional chain, distinctions between ascent and descent are established.
Regarding the distinction between these two, it is essential for the human world to gain clarity. Only by discerning how the orientation of one's "innate nature" functions can one foster the conditions for self-elevation through the sufficiency or insufficiency of "currency" desired within the heart. Simultaneously, the necessities of survival orientation must be fulfilled through what is needed and what is desired.
The process of achieving this kind of fulfillment is precisely one that is pursued by adding many undesirable dispositions, thereby facilitating the fulfillment of conditions related to currency. Consequently, it often involves actions that betray one's innate moral conscience, frequently driven by self-deception and the pursuit of what should not be desired, imposing such processes onto the pursuit of fulfilling conditions related to currency.
How to Grow Through the Transformation of Reincarnation
The formation and accumulation of numerous karmic obstacles inevitably deepen the commission of sins in the human world. This is a necessary process. When sentient beings descend into the human realm, they often give rise to a kind of ignorance-based obstruction. Within this obstruction, there is frequently a tug-of-war between "heavenly principles and conscience" and "demonic heart and nature."
The conflict between these two aspects arises from the many actions driven by self-deception and personal desires within the human world. These are common behaviors among sentient beings and original spirits in the human realm. Consequently, such obstacles are formed, preventing one from manifesting their own Buddha-nature.
On the contrary, it stirs the malevolent elements within one's own heart—allowing demonic nature to become one's master. From the perspective of the human world, this is a common behavior: when one fails to obtain the "currency" one desires, it inevitably leads to the lament, "Heaven is unjust"—a harmful act.
The fundamental cause of virtue and grace in the vast universe lies in upholding all that is just, all that is equal, all that is compassionate, and all that is universally loving. It does not distinguish among any races or peoples in the world, for it is precisely the obstacles born of ignorance that must be dissolved! Moreover, judging by the survival orientations of the human world—whether people can attain warmth and sustenance—serves as the criterion to determine whether these virtues are fully realized.
The obstacles of degradation have been dissolved.
The great virtue of Heaven lies in nurturing all living beings. In the animal world, this manifests as the principle of the strong preying on the weak. However, in the human world, it is not so. When viewed from the perspective of the vast cosmos, after human beings are born into this world, their desires for pleasure and enjoyment become boundless, ever craving more.
It is precisely the karma created by a life of ease that is found everywhere! Because of being too comfortable, "comfort leads to lust." Through excessive warmth, fullness, and fortune, this results in misfortunes and calamities that, compared to the evils committed by some impoverished sentient beings, are indeed even more severe.
In the realm of officialdom, humanity often creates far greater calamities and evils. The convergence of power and currency inevitably provides more opportunities to commit misdeeds amid the pursuit of wealth and influence. Such swift and widespread actions are frequently observed in human society, particularly within positions of authority, precisely where the distinction between "creating blessings and creating karma" lies.
This means having control over all acquisition of wealth and power over life and death. As the ancient saying goes, "A generation's fame and fortune can create grievances lasting for a hundred generations." Consequently, the evil karma accumulated is extensive, far surpassing that of ordinary common people. This is the greatest sorrow and cruelty in the world of sentient beings.
The cycle of rebirth and suffering must be reformed and eliminated.
Take the obstacles of downfall as the true process of descending transformation. One must clearly understand how to embody the virtues of heaven and earth—justice and compassion. Sentient beings and original spirits often fail to realize that the karma created during favorable circumstances is even more severe than that formed in adversity! This is because sentient beings and original spirits, indulging in long-term comfort and pleasure, become corrupted in heart and mind by power, wealth, and influence.
Regardless of which sentient being it may be, if they remain in such a state for an extended period, they will sink into deeper obstacles that are even more difficult to overcome in their upward progress. Sentient beings should clearly understand, within the distinction between "following or opposing" the creation of evil and karma, whether they can realize: How can they dissolve the abyss of evil karma they have created for themselves?
This leads to a reluctance among all high beings, bodhisattvas, and immortals who descend with a vow to indulge deeply or long in comfort and pleasure. How then should we understand that favorable circumstances are precisely the obstacles that tarnish the elevation of one’s own spirit? Moreover, when such smoothness endures too long, it inevitably corrodes one’s inner being, and even more so than one might imagine!
Otherwise, sentient beings originally all crave for peaceful and joyful states, even more so for long-lasting enjoyment within blessings. I ask all sentient beings: can you understand that the current planetary system of Earth is not a place for long-term residence? Most human beings can only follow their own karmic obstacles and cycle through rebirths.
To enjoy prosperity in times of ease  
Corrodes the heart, a state hard to appease.
It is precisely through enduring the hardships of ages that joy is found; adversity forges the truest toil.
Sentient beings, lost in delusion,
All prefer favorable conditions to last long.
Unaware of the obstacles of downfall,  
Through ages, karma is wrought and repaid.
Such is the way of the world! To dwell long in favorable circumstances amidst blessings—whether one can cherish the fortune thus created lies in the growth of "knowing blessings, treasuring blessings, and creating further blessings." It also depends on whether one can comprehend the virtue of future blessings. Yet one must not let oneself perish in the present moment; even if the toil is overwhelming, what can be done? Haha! Tonight, we have disturbed Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 31: The Western Star System
##Haotian Golden Tower, Luo Heavenly Venerable
June 18, 2004, the 1st day of the 5th lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The works of the Great Dao and the Vast Heaven are blessed by the Mother of the Golden Pond of the Wuji.
The Great Cause of the Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary  
Achieves the Ascension of Primordial Spirits to the Realm of Principle.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Five Sacred Enlightened Masters of the Sacred Gate—the Southern Palace Fuyou Emperor, Immortal Elder Lü Chunyang—has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." In this chapter, the method of "transformation through redemption" is analyzed, allowing everyone to understand the distinction between the realms of "compliance" and "adversity."
Sentient beings often compromise their original nature and true heart for the sake of material wealth and worldly conditions. This very tendency constitutes the primary cause for descending into the dark and obscure realms. It is essential to understand that in all such predicaments, the process shaped by the dual states of "compliance and adversity" precisely marks the dividing point between ascent and descent.
Otherwise, if all sentient beings and primordial spirits could simply transcend and return, then what of the karmic retribution and causality in the human world? It should be understood that one descends into the human realm due to "ignorance," and must return by "clearly comprehending" the virtuous grace of heaven and earth. Only then can the obstacles of ignorance be dissolved into nothingness.
It is about truly transforming oneself, removing all obstacles through repeated cultivation, rather than merely being caught in the cycle of reincarnation in the human world. It is hoped that one can understand that the works of Chongxin embody the true principles rarely encountered throughout the ages. Among all religions, such heavenly-bestowed opportunities and treasures are exceedingly rare.
All virtuous students, the transformation in the style of the Chongxin lineage is aimed at guiding sentient beings with wholesome affinities to return and jointly participate in the great path of Chongxin for its further advancement. It is hoped that you will devote more effort and diligence! This will bring boundless benefits to yourselves, and also allow all sentient beings and original spirits to gain advantages. Indeed, what you strive for, you shall obtain and benefit from. May this be realized! May this be realized!
Chapter 32: The Twelve Constellations
##Void Fortune Bright King
The Void and Boundless, piercing the Vast Heaven;  
The Sage Emperor of Literary Balance expounds the principles.
The Great Dao descends from the vast heavens to compose, transforming and elevating the fate of all beings.
After transformation, elevation is imperative.
Observing the actions of sentient beings in the human realm, who are submerged in the turbid and afflicted world, it becomes evident that they often engage in behaviors driven by the pursuit of survival, only to plunge themselves further into obstacles and decline. This is precisely because they fail to realize that in the human world, the orientation toward survival serves as a guiding principle and a foundation for existence, and one must inevitably pass through the trials of human life.
Furthermore, in the process of survival, both the food chain and the chain of affairs are essential, as they necessitate a survival-oriented approach to the actions that sustain life. In this context, how should one cultivate and refine these survival actions to achieve greater growth and reliance, thereby avoiding the obstacles of sinking into the turbid and afflicted world of the five impurities? And how should one sustain life? How should one truly survive?
There is a greater vehicle of transcendence, which must be achieved through cultivating and transforming one's existence, thereby elevating oneself to surpass one's current state. Otherwise, even if one enters the human world, it would only lead to a downward spiral, lacking the causes and conditions for ascension and transcendence. Instead, it would become an obstacle to all one's growth and elevation.
Improve and Upgrade Basic Conditions
It is through the orientation towards survival in the human world that one elevates oneself genuinely! However, sentient beings are unable to comprehend that this survival orientation is indeed the very action upon which all things depend! Viewed from the perspective of the vast world, this is an indispensable action, and humanity, in its reliance on this survival-oriented action, has always been and will forever remain so!
May I ask all sentient beings and primordial spirits: Can you endure in the human world forever? No! It is through repeated cycles of experience, each time plunging yourself into successive rounds of demise, sinking again and again into the human world or the three lower realms, unable to comprehend why such actions occur? Indeed, it is judged by your own deeds!
The orientation of survival in the human realm inevitably leads to the creation of negative karma through the cyclical actions of humanity. From the perspective of the human world, this situation is unavoidable. Therefore, whether the human realm can strive for upward progress depends on the necessity of natural survival. It is through this necessity that one can genuinely and thoroughly understand oneself, the Great Dao, and all sentient beings.
Regularly placing oneself in a predicament where one cannot progress upward, yet persists in existence, allowing survival without the ability to transform, is a recurring dilemma. It is essential to navigate the human world to achieve self-renewal and adjustment, which brings greater benefits to oneself. This process also involves taking action to eliminate all accumulated negative habits from the past.
Transform and enhance the practical functions as they truly are.
Moreover, in the human realm, regardless of how many hundreds or thousands of lifetimes one undergoes in the cycle of rebirth, it is difficult to thoroughly comprehend the true nature of the cyclical movements of heaven and earth. Consequently, one cannot truly realize what the great virtue and grace of "the evolution of heaven and earth" are. Sentient beings find it hard to understand: Why must I have this life, within this particular realm of existence? At the fundamental level, it remains entirely unknowable!
As time and space shift into the next life, who will I become? And who will I be? These are but recurring obstacles in the cycle of rebirth—merely a change of body and name, time and again. Yet, fundamentally, we remain unable to comprehend where all contradictions and hindrances lie. Sentient beings are incapable of understanding this, so how then should the human world proceed?
However, in the cyclical process of formation and dissolution, and within the circumstances surrounding life and death, how can transformation be achieved? Therefore, the divine has bestowed all religions upon the world to serve as tools for cultivation, education, and enlightenment. It is hoped that all sentient beings and original spirits may, amidst their own obstacles and helplessness, come to realize that they can transcend through the elevation of their own heart and spirituality.
How can we transcend such blind spots and misconceptions on a grander scale, returning to the true essence, so that sentient beings and original spirits may truly become masters of themselves, rather than repeatedly cycling through the obstacles of the mundane world? The myriad ways of existence in the human realm are but another realm of sentient beings, filled with countless inescapable helplessness and sorrows.
Enhancing the Necessity of Growth
Among all human races, the majority endure hardships and adversities, tormented by their own limitations, all bearing the consequences of karmic obstacles accumulated from countless past lives! Unable to break free from these hindrances, they become trapped in their own resistance, making it exceedingly difficult to elevate themselves. This is truly an inescapable and profoundly regrettable reality!
All desires are difficult to fulfill, and since it is impossible to comprehend how the "evolution of heaven and earth" unfolds, one repeatedly sinks into the turbid, evil world to live out life. Once this body passes away, the form of the next life remains unknown! Thus: one body, one lifetime, and then another lifetime, another body—with all these accumulations piled together, what can one ultimately achieve?
Repeatedly, such formations become a thousand and one unavoidable obstacles to oneself, and in the pursuit of survival, one cannot avoid even greater impediments blocking the way. Moreover, one’s innate nature, original mind, and primordial spirit are repeatedly tainted within the turbid and evil world of the five impurities. If this persists for too long, it may become impossible to break through these obstacles.
They will forever be trapped in the cycle of existence, merely alternating between the human world and the underworld, living only as humans or spirits. These sentient beings are truly the most sorrowful. Can everyone understand that humanity is merely caught in this endless repetition, existing only within the "human world and the underworld"? Is it possible to grasp this? It is profoundly difficult!
Enhancing the Efficacy of Growth
Sentient beings can understand: while making choices for survival in the human world, they can also comprehend, through the religions bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, all their own helplessness. Moreover, they can guide themselves toward the pivotal opportunity of returning to the Heavenly Realm—a great cause that enables all living beings in the vast world to grow and transcend!
In the human realm, sentient beings often fail to comprehend or empathize with this truth. Instead, they repeatedly believe themselves incapable of transcending karma. While navigating survival in the human world, they fundamentally lack clarity on how to act or conduct themselves. Consequently, they end up binding themselves within the very pursuit of survival.
It is precisely the greatest sorrow of sentient beings and original spirits to be tightly bound without any room for escape, and without any possibility of breaking free or changing one day. When observing the multitude of living beings in this vast universe, one should, in moments of "mental clarity and tranquility," frequently reflect upon oneself: Is such conduct truly worthwhile? Must it remain this way forever? Surely not!
Moreover, during one's moments of "purity and tranquility," when the innate moral conscience of heavenly principle manifests itself in the present, there is often a sense of being guided by "an inexplicable force." This prevents one from remaining forever confined to the human world for existence. This is the most crucial manifestation of the innate moral conscience of heavenly principle in the process of transformation and elevation; it is, in other words, the manifestation of Buddha-nature!
Transform and Elevate in a Great Leap Forward
The fundamental basis for all existence in the vast world is manifested through the principles of heaven and the innate conscience. This prevents one from falling into a state of utter helplessness and despair toward the ways of the world and the hearts of people. Yet, amidst various trials and tribulations, these challenges persistently follow by one's side, never departing even for a moment, causing all difficulties to continually accumulate.
In such circumstances, how does one confront one's own existence? There arises an irresistible force of resistance and guidance. Between these two, one is compelled to let the helplessness of survival and the causes for self-improvement guide oneself. This precisely drives one to transform, to eliminate all past mistakes, fallacies, and various harmful accumulated habits.
One must truly make a firm resolution; otherwise, it is often a case of working hard for one day and slacking off for ten. Moreover, if one frequently allows their determination to waver and their will to change, it will undermine the guiding role that such resolve could have played. This phenomenon is ubiquitous in the world of sentient beings, and such changes are precisely the result of a tug-of-war between opposing forces.
Sentient beings are precisely like this, obstructing their own upward ascension, thereby confining themselves to the human realm and demeaning their own existence, making it even more impossible to elevate and transcend themselves. One might ask: Is this not lamentable? Despite countless frustrations and helplessness, it is merely the obstruction caused by their own inability to find direction, which in turn becomes a great source of distress.
Sinking obstacles are to be dissolved,  
Understanding that all worldly life is toil.
Hardship follows the self, yet transformation and elevation endure through the ages.
Worldly karma grinds with bitter toil,  
Passing on transforms the body's mold.
Who shall I be in the next life?  
The unclear journey troubles me greatly.
This verse! It encourages all sentient beings and original spirits to inspire one another, to grow and benefit more greatly, enabling themselves to enter into transcendence, elevation, and creation. It is precisely about freeing oneself from the torment of worldly suffering, steadfastly and resolutely striving to become a transcendent being across countless generations. It is by no means unattainable; through unwavering determination, one can create boundlessly!

##Haotian Golden Palace　Immortal Xu
From the Void, the Infinite, the Vast Heaven descends;  
Observing the world's sounds, how bitter the suffering.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform, embracing all beings with compassion;  
The Great Way of the Vast Heaven unfolds its sacred writings.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Chairman of our lineage, the Heavenly Lord of Emptiness, Emperor Wenhang the Sage, has descended to compose the twelfth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter provides a more extensive exposition and analysis of "Transformation and Elevation," enabling all sentient original spirits to understand and elevate themselves within the human world.
Do we dwell eternally within the Earth's star system? No! This is to help everyone understand that even within the human world, we are merely temporary residents. For humanity originates from the Wuji, the Void, and the Celestial Realm of the Great Cosmos. It is essential to realize: how we should return to the Wuji, the Void, and the Celestial Realm of the Great Cosmos—for that is our true homeland!
Otherwise, one will remain forever in the borrowed dwelling, where nothing is comfortable, merely lingering in a place that is not truly one’s own, unable to break free from such obstacles. This is not the way of the wise, nor should it be the conduct of the wise! It is hoped that one may understand the essence of the Chairman’s writings, which can elevate and benefit—only through steadfast determination and focused growth can one truly realize their meaning.

The Thirteenth Cycle of the Great Dao and Haotian: Haotian Ascends, the Great Dao Unfolds.
The Conditions for the Mandate of Heaven
Reincarnation and Transformation: Enabling sentient beings to ascend beyond the foundation of karma serves to elevate the human world, offering genuine benefits for survival. If the great cosmos can achieve self-transcendence and completely resolve all past karmic obstacles, it will serve as a testament to the surpassing of each individual's inherent nature. The necessary action is to align with the true essence.
It also aligns with the benevolent virtues of heaven and earth toward sentient beings, enabling progress through elevation and transcendence. Taking the vast celestial realm and the human world visible before us as an example: the moral regulations governing human ethics, unified by the Heavenly Court through its division into the "Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Celestial Realms," foster virtuous customs and habits among humanity.
Regarding all that can elevate and transcend the actions of sentient beings, achieving the principles of "filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame," and establishing these fundamental virtues as the foundation, there exists the framework of "Four Anchors, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants." Only through these can humanity in the world rely upon the rightful principles for all existence!
The vast heavens bestow great virtue and blessings.
Otherwise, in the world of sentient beings, there would be no virtue whatsoever for the Heavens to judge and bestow blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth in the future! This divine grace from the vast heavens can be attained by all compassionate beings across the great world, yet it is determined by the measure of one's own merits and virtues, defining which qualities are manifested.
All sentient beings in the world of emotions, if they wish to ascend to the celestial realm of Haotian, must first possess the virtues of "Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants" as their foundation. Only when these virtues are preserved in the human world can they be judged by Haotian and serve as the basis for transcendence. This is the path for humanity to ascend and surpass.
Haotian: Also known as the administrative unit of all celestial realms, it serves as the central administrative hub for all heavenly domains. It is responsible for evaluating and distinguishing between ascension and descent within all celestial realms, determining whether beings shall transcend or fall into degradation. This process must necessarily pass through the administrative unit of Haotian and is subject to the supervision and assessment of all day and night patrol deities as well as the supreme heavens.
The appointment and assignment of tasks to all deities within the temples and halls of the mortal world serve as the basis for evaluation, weighing ascension and descent. In other words, these are the necessary sacred actions supervised and assessed by the administrative units of the Heavenly Court, which determine the outcomes through the process of divine examination and inspection by the Supreme Heaven.
The fundamental principle of Haotian's ascension through transcendence.
In the mortal realm or the celestial world—comprising the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Heavens—all deities are governed according to the administrative units of the celestial bureaucracy to which they belong. This system is not merely a recent development but has persisted for billions of years. It operates through the balanced responsibilities of "ascent and descent," essential for both implementation and oversight.
In making judgments about the human world or the Haotian world, both the human races of the sentient world and the deities of the Haotian world are subject to the jurisdiction and supervision of the Haotian administrative units. This applies universally, without distinction among all religious sects within the Earth's star system, and regardless of any nation—all are governed and guided by the authority and responsibility of Haotian's system of promotion and demotion.
Throughout the vast world, including all nations within the human realm, it is universally true. Sentient beings and original spirits may mistakenly believe that by residing in other worlds or adhering to different faiths, they are no longer part of the Central Land and thus exempt from the governance and oversight of the Heavenly Sovereign. Such a notion is precisely a fallacy born of erroneous thinking.
Furthermore, under the jurisdiction of Haotian, the ascent and transcendence of divine spirits, passing through the human world, are based on the fundamental conditions of "Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants." Through the cultivation of virtue to achieve transcendence, all beings across all planetary systems on Earth—every race and all living creatures—are distinguished by Haotian’s elevation or descent.
Benefiting from the Growth of Vietnam
The necessity of survival attachment is fulfilled by the conditions bestowed through "fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and honor." Thus, in the vast world, sentient beings are granted either "fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and honor" or a life of "hardship, poverty, and lowliness." The distinctions lie in the trials of setbacks, adversities, and the inversion of right and wrong, which are further differentiated by the various processes of examination and attachment.
Among the human races of the sentient world, some believe that by merely professing faith in Jesus Christ or the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, they can escape the governance and oversight of the Heavenly Lord. It is essential to understand: all religions of sentient beings across the vast world are subject to the jurisdiction of the heavenly realm of the Heavenly Lord. Only within the earthly realm are distinctions made among "species and religions." How, then, can sentient beings be exempt?
All are under the benevolent protection and oversight of the vast heavens. Moreover, in the course of existence, all living beings across the myriad creations are inevitably influenced and monitored by the "Mirror of the Earth" and the "Mirror of the Heavens." This means that every single action within the human world—every move, every gaze of ten eyes, every deed done even in the darkest chamber without deceit—is observed as if by divine eyes, shining like lightning, watching over all that transpires.
It is constructed based on the "eighth consciousness of spirituality." Through the "Heavenly Heart Mirror and Earthly Heart Mirror," every single action in the present moment will be re-manifested in either the Heavenly Heart Mirror or the Earthly Heart Mirror. This is the projection and reappearance of all things in the human world! It is also verified by what humans refer to as the micro-crystals of computer ICs.
The heavens, riding upon the celestial chariot, transform and elevate all things.
Therefore, all actions cannot be fabricated, and they can be re-presented once again. In the mirror of the earth’s heart, it is precisely the projection of "before the Mirror of Karma, there are no good people"; while in the mirror of heaven’s heart, it is precisely—virtuous radiance serves as the basis, regardless of race or deities, all are subject to both the mirrors of heaven and earth, and are projected and re-presented!
All actions serve as the basis for judging future merits and karmic obstacles, distinguishing between humans and deities through the "Heavenly Heart Mirror" and the "Earthly Heart Mirror." Every past deed in the present world, every word and action, is replayed through IC microcrystals. As humans say, can all of this be falsified? Surely not!
Just as a video recorder in the human world replays scenes, it is impossible for any falsification to occur, clearly proving that all actions throughout history are truthfully presented. Moreover, the conditions upon which this relies—the boundary between ascending to the heavens or descending into the abyss—are beyond human capability to alter the memory stored in the "Mirror of Heaven and Mirror of Earth"!
This is the current state of human technology, capable of verifying the original form of the IC microchip. As virtue is further cultivated, the next life (or cycle) will surely serve as proof: under what conditions, at what level, and in what nation will it manifest? Does the mortal world truly comprehend this mystery? No! Only through a rare opportunity spanning the ages can such verification be bestowed.
The distinction between sinking and falling is clear,  
IC microcrystals are distinctly large.
In the mirror of heaven's heart, virtue piles high;  
in the mirror of earth's heart, evil towers tall.
For ages, humanity has struggled to comprehend;  
All sentient beings leap and bound with feeling.
The four cardinal principles and eight virtues form the foundation,  
Relying on moral character to invite heavenly blessings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; whether in the human realm or the ascending divine realms, it remains the same. Without distinguishing between the heavenly kingdoms of "east, west, south, north, or center," it is precisely thus. It can verify all administrative conditions, which are indeed rooted in the virtuous grace of the Supreme Celestial Jade Emperor, serving as the reliance and protection for all humanity's blessings, prosperity, longevity, and nobility.
All celestial saints, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings in the heavenly realms exercise their authority over the rise and fall of all religions through the duties assigned to them. This is the inherent responsibility of the Heavenly Court. In elevating the Sacred Teachings of the Confucian tradition, the Chongxin lineage has been fortunate to receive this profound celestial opportunity to transcend and advance. Moreover, the immortals and Buddhas of Chongxin, along with its leaders, have disseminated the mysteries of truth. We extend our gratitude for everyone’s hard work and apologize for the disturbance during our time at Chongxin before returning to the heavenly realms.
Chapter Thirty-Five: The Sin-Mirror in the Earth's Core
## The Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Southern Pole Immortal Elder
The Void, the Boundless, the Vast Heaven Realm;  
The Heavenly Holy Mother mutually assists.
The Great Dao of Haotian enters the essence,  
Gradually ascending the steps of truth, ever more sublime.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Golden Palace’s Chief Minister, Zhuge Wuhou, has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*, elucidating the profound and timeless truth of "Ascending Through the Vast Heaven." This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the administrative governance within the heavenly realm of the Vast Heaven, clarifying aspects that have long been misunderstood.
Regarding the many ambiguous views in the human world, they often lead to the creation of evil and karma, while also inheriting the erroneous teachings and misguided thoughts of predecessors. This stems from a lack of understanding of the administrative principles of Haotian. Furthermore, both the world of sentient humans and the realm of deities are subject to the guidance of the Great Cosmos Haotian over all nations within the Earth's star system!
as well as all religious jurisdiction and protection, it is through such divine grace that in the vast celestial sphere of the Earth's star system—a world of "mutual interaction between yin and yang"—every deity and all living beings alike receive the great grace of protection bestowed by the Supreme Heaven. That is, it is the Supreme Heaven's guidance and elevation of the myriad beings in the great cosmos that enables sentient beings in the world of emotions to transcend and ascend. Can this be understood?
Chapter 36 The Heavenly Mind's Sacred Mirror
## Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
The Heavenly Mandate descends to compose this work; the Golden Palace aids with compassionate and sincere hearts.
The Heavenly Lord Luo descended upon Chongxin Hall, and the grace of the vast heavens watches over all living beings.
The great virtue of the vast heavens bestows grace upon all sentient beings.
The fundamental cause for elevation and transcendence bestowed by the heavens is to enable sentient beings to attain a state of ascension and surpassing. This allows them to exert virtuous influence within the human realm, and through divine reliance, to preserve the merits and virtues accumulated in the mortal world. It is thus achieved by one's own efforts to establish this reliance.
This can serve as a testament to oneself—whether one is truly worthy of Heaven’s validation. It must be achieved through all past experiences, growing within the human world, and relying on the virtues cultivated therein. Only this is the right path. And how should such conditions be articulated? They are shaped by the virtues nurtured through life’s journey and preserved within the vast world.
It is precisely all of humanity that can perceive the vast expanse of the azure sky as their ultimate refuge, and this azure sky is known by its original name, the Vast Heaven. Through human observation, it extends to the celestial realm, with the vast azure sky serving as the boundary, forming the celestial realm as seen by humanity—the space of Earth. Yet, this is merely one celestial star system within the realm of the Vast Heaven, and it is not the only celestial realm that exists!
The Supreme Administrative Pivot of the Vast Heaven
There are yet others: the celestial realms of the East, West, South, North, and Center. Among these, there exists the Heaven of the Thirty-Three. Moreover, the celestial realm visible to the human world is merely one perceived by the naked eye. However, under the jurisdiction of Haotian, there exist far, far too many celestial realms—these are stellar systems beyond the comprehension of sentient beings.
All celestial administrative units are under the jurisdiction of the "Haotian" celestial realm, which serves as the central administrative hub of all heavens. This is precisely the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Honored One, jointly revered by the five major religions, who governs all celestial realms, all human beings, and oversees the responsibilities and sacred duties of promotion and demotion across all religions.
Thus, it not only encompasses all human races living in the Earth's star system, as well as all living beings across the vast creation, but also includes all original spirits of the underworld and the netherworld—all of which fall under the jurisdiction of the Haotian administrative unit. Moreover, all celestial realms are collectively referred to as the Haotian central hub, serving as the overarching administrative unit of the Great Haotian.
It is to allow all sacred deities, immortals, Buddhas, exalted beings, and Bodhisattvas across the vast cosmos, encompassing all realms and religious traditions, to bestow the benevolent grace of the heavens. This grace is precisely given to all sentient primordial spirits among the multitude, enabling human society to attain the guidance of the Four Anchors, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants, and providing the countless beings of the vast world with a means to transcend.
Haotian Star Realm serves as the administrative headquarters.
Within the principles of "filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, benevolence, wisdom, harmony, and peace," there lies the foundation and manifestation of virtuous influence. This is a profound and genuine virtuous influence that descends and transforms, capable of serving as a dependable force of moral grace. Thus, through the human world, it becomes essential to take this as the standard for all realms of human morality.
In the human world, one must fully embody the "Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants" as a foundation. This can elevate one beyond the realm of Haotian (the Heavenly Emperor) and lead to belonging to a higher celestial realm. As long as one is within the Earth's star system, all are under the supervision and governance of Haotian, enabling transcendence and carefree enjoyment of blessings, while also finding guidance in the human world.
Thus, the human world, in relation to the Four Cardinal Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants, collectively forms a foundation of surpassing conditions and functions. Throughout all human societies, it is through the workings of the mind—driven by thoughts and intentions—and by enduring genuine trials, that one can attain a measurable standard to rely upon.
Furthermore, the process of verifying and reporting on the supervision and assessment by the heavenly "Sun and Moon Wandering Deities" is achieved through continuous accumulation. It is also through the human world’s efforts to elevate all thought structures, gathering the basis for supervision and assessment, that determines in the future which heavenly realm one will enter for growth and enjoyment of heavenly blessings.
The Function of the Great Condition of Virtue and Grace
Whether in the celestial realm or the human world, the reliance on enduring blessings, prosperity, longevity, and wealth is bestowed by the heavens upon the human realm as a guiding principle. This serves to verify the conduct of humanity, illustrating the functions of the "Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants." It is through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" that such verification and assessment can be achieved.
It can be thoroughly understood, which means that whether one truly acts in accordance with the Four Principles, Eight Virtues, Three Bonds, Five Relationships, and Five Constants, or merely experiences a brief moment of such a mindset, it will be fully revealed during the process displayed by the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," without any possibility of falsification. This is precisely because it is manifested through what humans refer to as the IC microchip.
It enables the reappearance of all past events, and because this condition can be clearly discerned, one’s deeds during life, combined with the colors and scores granted by the "Mirror of Heavenly Heart," reveal whether every thought and intention was righteous or not. Thus, all colors and scores become immediately evident, leaving no room for any error.
In the process of manifesting the Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, it is precisely the accumulation of every mindset and thought that brings about transformation—this is where its subtlety lies! Not a single link is overlooked, and thus one can clearly perceive that the Heavenly Providence's virtuous grace upon the great cosmos—encompassing all "Four Principles and Eight Virtues" as well as the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, and Five Relationships"—is utterly transparent.
The Functions and Deeds of Virtuous Grace
Regarding all thoughts and concepts towards sentient beings, how should we understand them? It must be clearly recognized: the actions and deeds in the human world can never be falsified! Judging by one’s own lifelong conduct, as the saying goes: "Deeds in the mortal realm cannot deceive heaven; the laws of the underworld will reveal them clearly. The details of human actions will inevitably reflect the mirror of heaven and earth."
This can certainly be understood: when a person gives rise to thoughts and intentions in the human world, they may conceal them from the eyes of all people, but they absolutely cannot hide from the reflection of the Heavenly and Earthly Heart-Mirror. Whether in the human world, the underworld, or any celestial realm, as long as they are illuminated by the Heavenly and Earthly Heart-Mirror, everything becomes clear at a glance.
It is absolutely impossible to falsify or conceal anything, for in the eyes of all heavenly realms, the human world, and the underworld of the Great Cosmos, one will be illuminated by the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth." This ensures that every thought, intention, and every action throughout the process is clearly revealed. This is precisely the compassionate care extended to all sentient beings of the Great Cosmos.
Moreover, it is the virtuous grace of the vast heavens that serves as the ultimate reliance; all sentient beings in the human world descend from the celestial realm to this mortal world. Why must they descend to live in the human world? For the original spirits endowed with sentience, can they comprehend this process and understand how it unfolds? Furthermore, how do they realize that their existence in the human world is, in truth, merely a reliance on accumulated blessings?
The Fundamental Framework of Haotian's Virtuous Grace
Often, it is about undergoing the process of repaying karmic debts. Regardless of the type of primordial spirit, this process is invariably filled with suffering. Precisely because of the accumulated blessings and karmic obstacles from past lives, they persistently follow one's side, either bestowing fortune or demanding the settlement of all karmic debts to achieve resolution.
This is not only true for humanity! As it is said: it is the true and factual manifestation of cause and effect, where retribution is repaid. All orientations of existence in this human world are merely projections and reappearances of actions and deeds from past lives. Sentient beings and primordial spirits can understand this—they are merely enjoying blessings or repaying debts through the cause and effect of the present moment.
It is to take responsibility for settling the debts owed to oneself, to one's family, and to all karmic causes and effects. In this way, one can understand why the heavens must take such action: it is to reform all sentient beings, to completely resolve their past karmic obstacles, and this is the true nature of reality! If one can comprehend the great virtue and grace of the heavens toward all sentient beings, one would be moved to tears of gratitude!
If one cannot appreciate the profound grace of Heaven, they will forever remain among the sinking masses. The transformation of a single thought marks the boundary between ascent and descent. I wonder if everyone can reflect deeply on this? Without establishing such a fundamental understanding, it is difficult to grasp the inner profundity.
The vast heavens ride upon the divine phoenix, ascending ever higher,  
Bestowing virtue and grace upon all living beings.
The vast universe watches over all living beings with care, nurturing the spirits of the world so they may ascend.
Gratitude arises from a shift in thought,  
Enlightening the ascent and descent of the soul.
If one can grasp its profound mystery,  
the achievement will naturally be realized and verified.
This verse! It serves as a mutual testament among all sentient beings and primordial spirits. The virtuous grace of the Heavenly Court and the boundless compassion of the Supreme Deity descend upon all, leaving no detail unattended, bestowing upon sentient beings and primordial spirits far more than can be measured. Through the course of daily life, one may come to understand the conditions for all sentient beings—how they may ascend and transcend, or fall and sink into oblivion.
Human beings often achieve growth and elevation simply through a shift in thought, thereby receiving protection for themselves, all sentient beings, the heavens, and the immortals and Buddhas. This condition of cause and circumstance is precisely the means for all goodness to increase and transcendence to be attained. Thank you all for your hard work and for taking the time to gather with Chongxin and old friends. Farewell!
Postscript, Guide to the Reader
序言、讚日、頌賀
## The Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity
The Void and Infinity pierce through the Vast Heaven;  
Blessings and virtues are bestowed upon all living beings.
The enlightened king ascends the platform to meet the divine beings;  
When true deities possess wealth, all living beings are revealed.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Lord Luo from the Haotian Golden Palace descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Great Dao of Haotian," titled "The Benevolent Grace of Haotian." This chapter elucidates the function of the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth," allowing everyone to gain clarity on how to elevate all sentient beings.
Thus, it becomes clear why, based on the karma of one's own actions, nothing escapes the reflection and exposure of the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth." This is not merely referring to the so-called three-dimensional space of the human world, but rather a ten-dimensional space, along with all numbers and colors, which serve to validate one's own deeds.
Has all human technology reached such conditions? It has not! When viewed from the perspective of the human world, even the three C’s and three-dimensional space are only sufficient for application within the human realm. But as for the ten C’s and ten-dimensional space, how can one comprehend its mysteries? It is impossible! Yet, Chongxin can, through firsthand information, come to understand the inheritance and writings of the mysteries of heaven and earth.
##The Great and Venerable King of Boundless Grace
The Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven descends to the mortal realm;  
Immortal Xu arrives to fulfill the sincere heart.
The Great Dao of Haotian, Chapter Fifteen: The Compassion of the Supreme Heavens Gives Life to Sentient Beings
The grace of Heaven bestows its virtue upon all living beings across the vast universe.
The benevolent grace of the vast heavens descends upon the mortal world, manifesting as a truthful and beneficial action for the original spirits of sentient beings. This grace is expressed through the boundless compassion of the great cosmos and elevates the myriad living beings of the sentient world. Only through such elevation can greater benefits and progress be achieved in the pursuit of survival, enabling the growth and ascension of humanity today.
To truly benefit the myriad sentient beings in this world of affection, it is essential that one willingly aligns with the divine, with the Great Dao, and with heaven and earth, allowing their virtuous influence to permeate and guide all actions. Only then can the countless sentient beings be genuinely uplifted and transcend their current state. It is through the collective harmony of the celestial realms that the welfare and benefit of all sentient beings are truly realized.
Throughout the vast celestial realms, it is revered as the Supreme Heaven! In the mortal world, it is spoken of as the Old Heavenly Lord—also known as the Heavenly Duke. Thus, it is known by many names and forms, and its function is to extend the benevolent grace of the Supreme Heaven to all living beings across the great cosmos, fostering evolution and expansion. This directly benefits all creatures of the world, not humanity alone!
Heaven is merciful to all living beings.
All functions are precisely aimed at elevating and transcending the human world toward ultimate perfection. They grant sentient beings the capacity to pursue upward transcendence, meeting its demands and finding refuge therein. This also entails actions of belonging to the vast cosmos, enabling all sentient original spirits to advance from the present moment toward their own existential orientation.
It is precisely these conditions and requirements that can facilitate transcendence for oneself and for all living beings; otherwise, how can the great virtue and grace of Heaven be brought down into the world of sentient beings? It is necessary to pass through the human world to fulfill all the requirements for one's own existence, thereby achieving evolution and transcendence.
To achieve a harmonious existence and a bright future in the human realm, one must understand that the divine has granted sentient beings and primordial spirits the opportunity to transcend in this lifetime. How could one not cherish this? This is what may be called rare! Yet it is also the very point where sentient beings and primordial spirits are most obscured by ignorance.
The Celestial Administration oversees the entire star system.
It is precisely the governance and guardianship over all living beings between heaven and earth, bestowed upon the human world, that enables self-elevation. Through all the arrangements and requirements of the divine, sentient beings are granted the ability to achieve greater comfort, progress, and creativity—all accomplished from the present moment.
In response to all the civilizations and technologies of the present era, if one can truly embody and verify their essence, aligning with the vast cosmos, and elevate the protection and care for all sentient beings and original spirits, then it becomes possible for the heavens and earth to achieve a transcendent demand and evolution. Otherwise, how could we come to understand that within the human realm, existence is merely a process of survival-driven evolution?
Such conditions undoubtedly cannot provide complete and perfect care for all living beings. Thus, in response to the great grace of Heaven, it is precisely by offering sentient beings and primordial spirits a path toward their future direction, enabling them to achieve greater growth and belonging, that the great grace of Heaven is truly realized, allowing all sentient beings and primordial spirits to transcend and ascend.
The boundless mercy and virtuous grace of Heaven.
It is precisely the embodiment of impartiality, compassion, universal love, purity, non-action, and empathy—this is the essence of imparting the original wisdom of the Five Great Religions across the cosmos to all primordial spiritual beings within the Earth's star system. Through a lifetime of cultivation, they may achieve perfection and return to their origin. Indeed, it is so! This enables them to transcend all trials and tribulations in the human world, thereby attaining elevation.
To the myriad souls of the Great Cosmos Star System, may they forever remain free from sinking into the Earth Star System! Moreover, due to the actions shaped by the Earth Star System, sentient original souls often create obstacles for themselves, forming points of hindrance that prevent their upward ascension. These very obstacles impede their return to the Celestial Kingdom of the Great Cosmos Universe Star System.
In the course of human existence, when time, environment, space, and process are the same, life is always a mixture of suffering and joy. Yet, sentient beings often feel that "suffering" outweighs "enjoyment" in their hearts. Moreover, why is it that in this half-suffering, half-joyful temporal and spatial environment, "suffering" tends to last longer than "enjoyment"?
Human life is a blend of joy and sorrow, which fosters growth.
This process is precisely what sentient beings are unable to comprehend. Why is it that in the same span of time, the experiences of suffering and joy are intermingled, yet all sensations differ? It is because suffering is comparatively more difficult to endure, and thus the experience of suffering feels longer than that of enjoyment—this is the very reason! If one doubts this, observe carefully: in the same time and environment, how does the passage of time feel?
In the process of the waxing and waning of suffering and joy, sentient beings often perceive that suffering outweighs pleasure, but this is not actually the case! Due to the shifts in time and space, the inner feelings experienced also differ. It is precisely these differences in perception that lead to varied experiences within each individual's heart.
It is precisely because there are demands for transcendence placed upon the sentient beings of the vast world, and because these original spirits of sentient beings do not know whether they can become masters of themselves in the very moment of existence, that they often lack the awareness to realize this. Consequently, they give rise to actions obscured by ignorance, making it even more impossible for themselves to break through and dissolve the various difficulties, setbacks, and adversities they face.
Compassion and virtue provide benefits for all living beings.
It is also a hindrance to oneself, thereby preventing the ability to achieve greater growth and transcend all obstacles. Moreover, under such conditions of causality, the human world is precisely the realm where sentient beings and original spirits find it most difficult to break through. This is further because, in the human world, sentient beings and original spirits must bear responsibility for themselves and adhere to this guiding principle.
Regarding all the karmic consequences accumulated from past lives, they will follow closely by one's side, manifesting as blessings to be enjoyed or misfortunes to be repaid. I ask all sentient beings: Are you aware that the "karmic causes of virtue" and the "karmic causes of misfortune" you have accumulated precisely differentiate between "receiving blessings" and "enduring retribution" in their effects?
Can the feeling of enjoyment truly last longer than enduring suffering? Not at all! It is merely that pleasure fades swiftly, while pain lingers and torments slowly. This is precisely what shapes the inner experiences we feel yet cannot dispel—a sensation within the heart, born from the swiftness of favorable circumstances and the slowness of bitter consequences.
The human world is the realm for transforming life.
This kind of attitude toward all sentient beings—can it be applied in the present moment, using an ordinary mind—that is, an ordinary state—to handle all favorable and adverse circumstances? Then, when faced with the grinding of bitter consequences, one would not feel so much pain and helplessness. Moreover, some people simply cannot endure even the slightest suffering or torment.
When the thought that death ends all troubles arises in the mind, it triggers a tug-of-war within the heart between "inherent nature and demonic nature." On one side is the urge to end one's life, while on the other is a force that holds one back, preventing the completion of such destructive actions.
From this perspective, it becomes clear that all sentient beings fundamentally cannot withstand even the slightest bit of suffering or hardship. This immunity is something that must be strengthened. Moreover, facing one's own suffering is precisely a test bestowed by heaven before blessings arrive. To pass it is to lay the foundation and basis for future achievements.
The heavens in their mercy uplift all beings in the vast universe.
It is precisely for the sake of providing greater protection and shelter to all living beings across the vast universe that no distinction is made among any nation, realm, or religious tradition. All are embraced as one, offering compassionate guardianship and virtuous grace, enabling sentient beings to strive through their own efforts.
Allowing oneself to have greater comfort and a more favorable environment, thereby facilitating the manifestation of the grace and virtue of the Great Dao, is indeed the protection and blessing bestowed by Heaven. However, it remains uncertain whether all sentient beings can truly perceive the profound care and intentions of Heaven, which are extended to nurture and safeguard every living soul.
Just as parents care for and protect their own children, how does the divine grace of Heaven extend its compassion to the human world, offering meticulous care and protection in every possible way? Indeed, it is essential to understand: the efforts of humanity can alter the predetermined fate of past lives!
The heavenly virtue bestows grace upon all living beings;  
The boundless mercy of the heavens shelters and nurtures their growth.
Filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty, trustworthiness, wisdom, benevolence, and courage—  
Propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame extend boundlessly.
Heaven and earth bestow their favor with feeling,  
All within the human world can lend their aid.
Through the fulfillment of karma, the blessings of the heavens are attained;  
The universe and the void originate from the boundless beginning.
This verse! It encourages all sentient beings to mutually inspire one another; to create a great virtue and grace of mutual assistance between heaven and earth, protecting and blessing the myriad original spirits of sentient beings so they may transcend the present moment, and to extend this virtue and grace throughout the world. It is hoped that all may deeply contemplate the virtue and grace of heaven and earth, for it is precisely the Great Cosmos of the Vast Heaven that guides the process of human existence in this way! Having disturbed Chong Xin for a while, I shall now return to the celestial realm. Farewell, everyone!
##The Star Lord of the Eastern Dipper
Serving in the sacred role at Chongxin Daoist Temple,  
Jigong aids the world with selfless compassion.
Living Buddha, living perspective on a living world; all sentient beings may embrace it.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, esteemed individuals, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Xu from the Haotian Golden Palace has descended to continue the fifteenth chapter of "The Great Dao and Haotian," titled "The Compassion of Heaven." This chapter provides a deeper exposition on the bittersweet nature of human existence and further unravels many mysteries of human life.
This not only grants sentient beings the opportunity to grow through their own existence, but also allows them, in the course of their life's journey, to dissect the bittersweet emotions within their hearts. Whether these inner feelings can be transformed or dissolved depends entirely on one's own inner experience—it is merely a shift in the perception of what lies within the heart.
Why is it that in today's era, so many modern people cannot withstand even the slightest or smallest trials? It is through enduring these repeated tests that humanity must accumulate experience, enabling them to dissolve all obstacles and limitations in life, thereby achieving growth and elevation.
## The Sacred Emperor of Two Passes, Limitless
The Southern Continent is under the vast heavens,  
While the Pure Land arises from the Buddha's vow.
The Immortal Sage expounds the realm of the Central Heaven,  
The Great Dao of Haotian adds blessings and virtue.
All jurisdictions of the Central Heaven Realm
The administrative unit of the Heavenly Court exercises governance and management, which is directed by the central heaven of the Heavenly Court. It encompasses all celestial realms in totality, and from the perspective of all Pure Lands or the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Worlds, as long as they are within the Thirty-Three Heavens, they must all be supervised through the central heaven of the Heavenly Court.
This is the seat of the administrative authority, serving as the basis for all official documents concerning the administration of the celestial realm. It is under the governance of the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven. All matters of ascension and descent within the celestial realm, as well as the existence of all beings in the human world, the Earth, and the star systems, are included—without distinction among religious sects or lineages, nor among other star systems under its jurisdiction.
The Thirty-Six Celestial Realms and the Seventy-Two Terrestrial Realms are all governed and administered by the Haotian Celestial Realm. Encompassing all the star systems of the Great Cosmos Celestial Realm, it serves as the supreme administrative hub for all celestial realms. For the Haotian Celestial Realm, this represents the central nexus of all governance—the administrative unit known as the Zhongtian Star System.
Administrative Units of the Central Heaven
This principle applies to the entire Dahuan star system, including the planets of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Earth (planet), Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, as well as all celestial bodies within the Milky Way galaxy. All are inevitably governed by the supreme pivot of Haotian, and their operational dynamics are guided by the proper cyclical system mandated by the Great Dao.
In the natural laws governed by the Great Dao, over the course of 3.5 billion light-years of achievement, all systems within this span of time have been elevated and integrated with all galaxies in the vast celestial realm. It is precisely through this process of integration that the galaxies of the great cosmos are able to operate along a regular and systematic orbit.
It also addresses the distinct responsibilities and functions borne by each celestial body in their respective orbits, providing a basis for the administrative operations of the heavenly realms. Otherwise, how could the great virtues and blessings manifested by the Dao be cultivated and realized within the Earth's star system? Furthermore, how could the virtues and functions of the Central Heavenly Realm benefit the growth and elevation of each star system?
How can all celestial causes and effects be made clear to the myriad beings of the great cosmic Earth and its star systems, so that they understand how to act in the human world? This is because the central administrative hub of the Middle Heaven operates according to the movements of different star systems; thus, it can achieve the guidance and management of the operations of all celestial star systems.
The Central Administrative Hub of the Celestial Realm
It must be understood that among all celestial realms, regardless of any religious sects or lineages, all are subject to the governance and jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor of the Central Heaven. The neutrality of this administrative unit is precisely what ensures the operation of all governing actions and the necessary balance in the ascension and descent of all deities, thereby promoting the impartial functioning of the Great Dao of the Central Heaven.
In the Central Heaven (Hao) celestial realm, the impartial operation of all celestial realms is governed. The administrative procedures for each planetary body (celestial realm) are all executed and promulgated by the Lingxiao Palace of the Central Heaven. From ancient times to the present, this has been the process governing the evolution of the Earth's star system.
In particular, why is it that for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, there is perceived to be a Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Heavens and Exalted God, as well as a Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Spirit and Exalted God? In the Daoist conceptual framework of all the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, the lineage of Dao is transmitted through the deities of heaven and earth, who govern the ascension and descent, as well as the balance of all celestial bodies and star systems on Earth.
However, it is little known that the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, has been passed down from the first generation to the eighteenth generation up to the present day. This is a concept beyond the comprehension of human beings, and within the entirety of Daoist thought and practice, there are many aspects that are difficult to grasp accurately. Moreover, in the current era of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, who exactly holds this exalted position?
All Management Systems of the Mid-Heaven Realm
Thus, with the Central Heaven as the administrative hub from which decrees are issued and upon which all rely, what is understood in the human realm is similarly based on the precedent set by the Seventeenth Generation of the Jade Emperor. That is to say, without knowing the underlying reasons, and guided by the doctrinal framework of Taoist teachings, it is believed that within the celestial administration, the Jade Emperor is absolutely irreplaceable!
It was previously the Seventeenth Generation Jade Emperor, the Exalted and Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Firmament, who held the position. Little did anyone realize that this was a grave error—how could the truth be clearly understood? However, in the present era, the position has long been rightfully passed to the Sage Emperor Guan, the Guardian of Culture and Justice, for his ascension. This has been clearly recorded in all ancient spiritual texts and must never be transgressed!
Why is there a distinction between the "Celestial Vault" and the "Celestial Spirit"? It is because the entire evolutionary process of the heavenly realm cannot be fully comprehended. There are certain sacred duties, which are phased missions. Moreover, all decrees—whether Jade Decrees, Dao Decrees, Imperial Decrees, or Buddha Decrees—must be issued through the Supreme Heaven. They are not simply delivered directly by the respective units to which they belong.
All appointments are selected by the Celestial Jade Emperor.
It is essential to have the confirmation of the Heavenly Emperor to ensure correctness and efficacy. It must be clearly understood: The sacred administrative duties under the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, are determined through joint deliberation by the founders of the Five Religions and all the heavenly sages. They recommend candidates from the statutes of the Five Constant Virtues, requiring that they have meritorious deeds left in the human world to be eligible for selection.
Among the many potentially worthy candidates, there were no shortage of those who could have been chosen. However, seven individuals were initially recommended for selection. In the end, it was the Martial Sage, Lord Guan, who descended to the mortal world to inherit and uphold the orthodox lineage. Yet, when it came to the transmission of this orthodox tradition, which had endured for nearly three hundred years, even the Martial Sage, Lord Guan, dared not assume this sacred duty.
The underlying cause lies in the era of the Three Kingdoms' warfare, where allegiance to different lords led to widespread slaughter and the destruction of countless innocent lives, all driven by the fear of public censure. These karmic ties, born from the vengeful spirits of past dynasties' massacres, have now re-entered the human realm in the present age, being reborn as members of humanity.
It has been delayed for far too long! Finally, by the decree of the Eternal Empress Mother, it was imperative that by the Shangyuan Jiazi year there be no further refusal, and I must take up the role of unifying and guiding the return. Precisely, from the initial span of 136 years up to the present era—that is, from after the Shangyuan Jiazi year until 141 years following the Xiayuan Jiazi year—amounts to a total of 277 years.
The Nature of Differentiation by the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord
It is also practiced through the virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness," shaping a future where the true gentlemanly virtues of the Five Constants bring blessings to the entire world, leaving behind exemplary models of goodness. Wherever there are Chinese communities, there are temples dedicated to Guan Yu, where he is worshipped. This is because after the Martial Sage Guan Gong passed into immortality during the Three Kingdoms period, he was honored with the sacred duty of serving as the Jade Emperor in the present day.
Moreover, it was observed that the cruelty and treacherous nature of the human heart had reached the utmost depths of evil. Originally, the heavens intended to return the Earthly Realm to chaos, yet were hindered by the fact that such restoration could not be achieved in a brief span of time. Witnessing this, they could not bear it in their hearts. Thus, after consulting with all the revered sages and buddhas of the heavens, they chose to pledge the majority of their own merits and virtues as a guarantee. It is only through this act that the future technological civilization of humanity has been able to manifest as it does today.
With reverence, we receive the grace and virtue of the Jade Emperor of Great Heaven as our refuge. However, as the Seventeenth Generation Jade Emperor continues to issue decrees, the present era thus witnesses the distinct proclamations of both the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Generations of the Jade Emperor of Great Heaven. It is precisely due to the compassionate grace and virtue of the Guanhuang Jade Emperor in this current age that many Daoist cultivators still come to receive these sacred decrees.
All those involved in such circumstances will be forwarded to the Supreme Emperor Xuanqiong for approval. Regardless of whether the approval is given by the Supreme Emperor Xuanling or the Supreme Emperor Xuanqiong, each carries its own efficacy and purpose in accordance with the divine will. In Taiwan, the term "Xuanling" is used, whereas in other nations, it is not referred to as "Xuanling" but rather as the Supreme Emperor "Xuanmin."
Jade Emperor's Titles: Xuanqiong, Xuanling, Xuanmin
This is the basis for receiving the Jade Decree across different regions, which also varies in the titles used to address the Jade Emperor. Moreover, in all instances of receiving the Jade Decree, whether it is issued by the "Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Firmament," the "Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Spirit," or the "Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven," all sentient beings and religious sects should offer praise and affirmation.
One must not distinguish who is right or wrong, who is true or false; as long as it can truly benefit the human world, it may be said: to bestow upon all sentient beings the opportunity to receive the decree. Its true purpose is to bring benefit to oneself, to society, to the nation, to the world, and to all living beings. This is the great compassionate grace of Heaven.
Whether it is received from "Xuanqiong," "Xuanling," or "Xuanmin," only that which can truly achieve the effects and accomplishments of teaching and education is considered authentic! Otherwise, no matter how noble the decree descending into the mortal realm, if those who receive it in the human world merely muddle through, what becomes of their initial fervor after accepting the decree?
Having endured numerous trials and tribulations, one gradually grows weary and finds it difficult to muster the drive to strive further. In such a state, no matter what decrees are bestowed upon them, they are simply unable to fulfill them. I ask all sentient beings and original spirits: How can one possibly carry out the Empress's decrees, Dao decrees, Jade decrees, Buddha decrees, imperial edicts, and the like?
The authority and responsibilities of all positions in the Central Heaven.
Is it through one's own efforts to strive and become a spokesperson for Heaven, as well as a pioneer of the Great Dao of Heaven? This is something one knows well in their own heart! It is precisely by carrying out all decrees descending to the mortal realm, without distinguishing between high or low degrees and levels, that one relies on their own steadfast will and perseverance. This is the true and undeniable duty and mission!
That is to say, without distinction, regardless of what one was in a past life: a divine spirit, an immortal or Buddha, a Bodhisattva, a high-ranking celestial being, Guanyin, a holy emperor, a holy mother, a mother goddess, the Jade Emperor, the Three Pure Ones, the Heavenly Father, the Heavenly Mother, Jesus, the Prophet Muhammad, the ruler of the universe... so many, so many original deities and past incarnations have descended to the mortal world as divided spirits. How, then, do they carry out their duties and missions upon descending to the mortal realm?
It refers to the conditions under which one descends into the human world; if one cannot understand their own strengths and weaknesses, they will often harbor obstacles to the promotion and expansion of their mission, and will be unable to achieve greater accomplishments or fulfill their responsibilities. This applies regardless of how great one’s past merits and achievements may have been, or what their relationship was to their original deity form—whether as a divided spirit or a separate manifestation.
Whether one's present actions can benefit oneself and all beings is the true measure of whether one can attain in the future all the merits and accomplishments of the deity. Moreover, how one's own merits accumulate is a matter of honest self-assessment, providing a reliable basis for clarity in the present moment. As one acts now, so shall the future unfold.
The grace of the vast heavens descends upon the mortal realm,  
Bringing profound benefit to all sentient beings.
All celestial immortals and Buddhas come together to assist,  
The great Dao and the universe can all ascend.
The Central Administrative Hub of the Heavens  
The Jade Emperor's Benevolent Grace Can Be Cultivated and Attained
The Mysterious Vault and the Mysterious Spirit, together with the Mysterious Heaven,  
All serve to fulfill and perfect the existence of sentient beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it elucidates why the Divine has allowed so many divisions in the present era. It is precisely because no distinction is made between the "Mysterious Firmament," the "Mysterious Spirit," and the "Mysterious Heaven" in achieving accomplishments. Moreover, in the current age, the sacred duty of the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Honored One, is now held by the Martial Sage and Literary Guardian!
His title is precisely: The Eighteenth Generation Celestial Sovereign of Profound Vault Martial Wisdom—Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Honored One, Supreme God of Mystical Divinity, the Ancient Buddha of Heaven’s Canopy! Who do you think this deity might be? Thus, the question must be clarified thoroughly, to resolve the disputes and doubts of the mortal world. Our old friend is urging us on from the side; soon there will be another joyous gathering. Until we meet again, everyone!
## The Star Lord of the Western Dipper
Limitless, selfless, and without bias or contradiction,  
The Central Altar descends, imbued with heartfelt sentiment.
Marshal Gu Zhui, both sharp and endearing, ascends the stage to gather all sages in assembly.
Aha! Good evening to all venerable Buddhas and teachers, virtuous and great beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Inner Minister of the Heavenly Court, the Southern Pole Immortal Elder, has personally descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of "The Great Tao and the Heavenly Court." This chapter analyzes the extraordinary karmic connection of the "Central Heavenly Realm," offering humanity clarity and genuine, thorough understanding.
This is to enable sentient beings in the current era to clearly understand why distinctions are made among the "Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Heavens," the "Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Spirit," and the "Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Firmament." It allows humanity to comprehend that in the present age, the great virtue and grace of the Eighteenth Generation, the Great Heavenly Lord Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of the Mysterious Spirit, are precisely a testament to profound compassion.
We, the followers of the Confucian Sacred Teaching, are being perfected within this tradition. This is no ordinary temple hall; rather, it is a place from which a new lineage can be propagated throughout the world. It is known as: the Confucian Sacred Teaching, the True Buddha Heart Lineage, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall. Many may not yet realize that our lineage is precisely the new lineage revealed by the heavens on the Celestial Register (the Yellow Register).
It can bear witness to the current confirmations of the celestial realms in the center, west, south, north, and east, as well as all confirmations across the boundless, the void, and the cosmos. This is not something that can be easily verified or understood. Only through seven years of trials, integration, and examination can one be perfected in accordance with celestial law. Do you comprehend? Do you cherish this? Strive on your own!
##Wuji Three Passes Sage Emperor
The Purple Emperor governs the myriad stars,  
His virtuous grace brings succor to all beings.
Human destinies intertwine and mature,  
While the Ziwei constellation traverses the cosmos.
All Deductions of the Ziwei Star System
The governance of the Central Celestial Realm is led by the Ziwei Star System, which oversees all planets and celestial bodies across the vast cosmos, thereby elevating virtue and benevolence. Under the administration and jurisdiction of the Great Emperor of Ziwei, the Jade Sovereign of the Vast Heaven issues decrees and directives to the Ziwei Star System, establishing the conditions for their promulgation.
This is overseen by the administrative system of the Great Cosmos and the Vast Heaven, which governs all star systems in their influence upon the human world and other star systems. It validates all aspects of human existence—blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, honor, poverty, and humility—through the integration of the Ziwei Star System. Thus, the Ziwei Star System operates within the great cosmos of the three-thousandfold world, carrying out the virtuous grace of the Great Dao.
Within the vast celestial realm, it governs all the planets across the cosmos—a truth that the human world cannot fully comprehend. Yet, why do all the celestial bodies under Heaven share connections and affinities with human concepts such as fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, honor, poverty, and humility? Precisely because the human world embodies and enacts the benevolent virtues bestowed by the great celestial realm.
The governance of the Ziwei Star System.
In the human world, the establishment of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues serves as the demarcation point between ascent and descent. The governance of the myriad star systems extends not only to the human realm but also spans the entire cosmic array of galaxies. In this context, what significance do worldly wealth, honor, prosperity, or adversity hold?
That is to say, it is governed by the Ziwei star system and led by the Great Emperor of Ziwei, serving as the foundation for all star systems and the earthly realm of humanity. This is achieved through the mutual fulfillment and governance of the Great Emperor of Ziwei, establishing such a karmic connection that brings all celestial bodies in the vast heavens to completion and reliance.
It can be said that the virtuous grace of the Ziwei Star System shares a profound connection and karmic bond with all sentient beings across the vast Earthly Star System. It is precisely this system that governs and oversees the fulfillment and elevation of all major star systems, commanding all myriad celestial bodies, all through the administration and guidance of the Ziwei Star System.
The Purple Tenuity Star System is the greatest in the universe.
Through the benevolent grace of the Ziwei star system, it descends to transform the human world, and its transformative actions upon each planet are profoundly practical, bestowed upon the myriad beings of the present moment. This is because all sentient beings within the current Earth star system believe that humanity exists only within this realm, yet in truth, this is not the case!
It is that within each stellar system, there exist numerous sentient beings among the celestial bodies, who have long inhabited the various interstellar worlds across the vast cosmos. However, they are confined by the "unique planetary energies" present on each celestial body, which prevents these sentient beings from transcending their respective stellar systems. What, then, is the reason for this?
That is to say, within the tangible and visible realms of the great chiliocosm and the three thousand worlds, across various star systems and celestial bodies, various physical forms are shaped. Yet these forms are confined solely to the conditions of survival on their respective planets, making it exceedingly difficult to transcend the limitations and obstacles imposed by the energies of their own star systems. This predicament thus becomes an inescapable constraint.
If one attempts to use their own physical body and rely on energy to descend to the Earth's star system or other star systems, it is fundamentally impossible to verify this using the concept of time-years as understood in the human world. It is precisely due to this relationship that it can be verified in the present moment through the application of high-speed movement devices. Otherwise, for all tangible and visible physical bodies, it is fundamentally impossible to achieve departure and movement.
The Great Virtue and Grace of Galactic Evolution
It is governed and ruled by the Polaris Star, and the overall cosmic star systems also include: the Antarctic Star System, the Arctic Star System, the Solar System, the vast Galactic Star System, the Wuji Star System (the Great Luo Heaven Star System), and the Void Star System, among others (the Macrocosmic Star Systems). From this perspective, within the vast interstellar expanse, the mysteries of the human world remain fundamentally unknowable.
Why is it that, while utilizing the "borrowing of generals" function from Heaven, the same inherent qualities (genes) from the past can be perfected? Moreover, the transcendence achieved through borrowing and elevating can be applied to the future technological civilization, as demonstrated. This allows the Ziwei Star System to integrate and disseminate verification across all star systems, yet all original souls and beings remain unable to comprehend the process of this verification.
If we attempt to use the technological capabilities of the human world to verify all the great virtues and blessings that have been deduced throughout the ages, it is impossible for current technological civilization to achieve such verification. This is because all celestial systems are precisely the manifestations of all descending actions, and they are profoundly true in nature. Furthermore, with the Ziwei Star System serving as the condition for governance and leadership, the entire cosmic galaxy operates in accordance with this truth.
Galaxies and star systems evolve.
It is precisely within the Ziwei Star System, which, compared to what you humans refer to as the Solar System, is tens of thousands of times larger in its surrounding expanse. If we further compare the Earth's system to the Solar System, the difference in scale is immense. Thus, if the Earth's system were projected into the Ziwei Star System, it would appear as nothing more than a tiny grain of sand, scarcely visible at all.
Furthermore, within the Ziwei star system, which governs all star systems in the east, west, south, north, and center, the ability of each celestial body to maintain balance between its rotation and revolution within every star system is managed and regulated by the heavens of the east, west, south, north, and center, overseeing all orbits in accordance with the universal laws of motion.
It lies in the fact that the star systems in the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central heavens consist of 28 constellations. Within these 28 constellations, there are planetary bodies that govern and lead each respective constellation. It can be said that among all the star systems in the vast cosmos, their number is beyond calculation—so immense and so numerous are these star systems.
The Dominant Role of the Purple Forbidden Star System
According to the overall calculation of this galaxy, there are nearly 350 billion star systems within galaxies, each engaged in rotation and revolution as part of a cyclic system. This is precisely because each entity carries its own responsibilities and missions, governed and nurtured by the Five Celestial Realms: the Eastern Celestial Realm, the Western Celestial Realm, the Southern Celestial Realm, the Northern Celestial Realm, and the Central Celestial Realm.
The various celestial systems operate and rotate in accordance with the laws of revolution, thereby avoiding collisions. Moreover, guided by the Ziwei constellation, all movements remain harmonious. This governance extends across the entire celestial realm of galaxies, not including planetary bodies beyond the solar system, which are also not accounted for here.
These include: the Southern Pole Star System, the Northern Pole Star System, the Milky Way Galaxy, the Wuji Star System (the Daluo Star System), and the Void Star System (the Macrocosmic Star System). These are not encompassed within the Ziwei Star System. For all star systems within the Zhongtian system, the Ziwei Star System serves as the leading authority, and they are all under the administrative jurisdiction of the Haotian Administration. Precisely so!
The virtue of the Central Heaven knows no bounds,  
All galaxies in the cosmos are interconnected.
The Purple Forbidden Star System governs all,  
While myriad stellar bodies bestow their wondrous blessings.
The Milky Way spans from the South Pole to the North Pole,  
The vast sky extends boundlessly into the infinite cosmos.
The sentient beings are born into existence,  
precisely as the foundation for each entity to transcend and surpass.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; to elucidate and verify the great karmic connections bestowed by Heaven, which are scarce in the human world. It is hoped that the functions and governance of the Ziwei Star System can be clarified, as they are precisely entrusted under the Jade Decree of the Great Heavenly Lord Haotian Jade Emperor. Thank you all for your hard work. Today, we have disturbed Chongxin. Farewell!
## The Star Lord of the Middle Dipper
The vast and boundless great cosmos,  
Extends its virtue and shelter for all beings to cultivate.
The revered king ascends the dais, moved by deep sentiment;  
With clarity, the celestial virtues of the stars align.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the North Pole Emperor of Purple Subtlety has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven," elucidating and analyzing the Purple Subtlety Star System. This once again broadens our horizons and deepens our understanding, revealing the boundless and meticulous grace of the Heavenly Realm!
For all sentient beings descending to this world, it is possible to transcend and return. Otherwise, all primordial spirits descending to the Earth's star system for cultivation might mistakenly believe that this star system is their permanent abode—a notion that is incorrect! In truth, humanity originates from the Wuji and the Void, descending to inhabit the earthly realm.
It is essential to return to the original birthplace, where one can ascend and transcend, enabling all to achieve an eternal ascent. In the process of personal growth and learning, it is necessary to genuinely progress upward, elevate, and surpass oneself in order to attain accomplishment. This is the true nature of reality—the foundation upon which one can rely to return and transcend in the present moment.
The Guiding Principles Established by the Chongxin Lineage:
It must proceed through: 1. learning, 2. growth, and 3. elevation—these are essential in the human world; 4. return, 5. transcendence, 6. fulfillment, and 7. ascension—these are required for upward growth. These seven steps must be carried out systematically, one by one.
## Limitless Teaching Celestial Worthy
The Purple Star of the Eastern Heaven guides with boundless merit measured by the Dipper.
The starlight shines brightly across the universe,  
As you adorn the three stars of the Eastern Dipper.
The Purple Forbidden Star System governs the great star systems of the universe.
The accomplishment of the Ziwei Star System is derived from the Solar System, encompassing Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Earth, the Sun, the Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and all star systems within the vast celestial sphere. It is precisely under the unifying and downward-transforming function of the Ziwei Star System, guided by all star systems under the dominion of the Great Emperor of Ziwei.
Thus, the Great Heavenly Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven decreed the issuance of commands, granting the Ziwei Star System as the foundation for adherence. It further received the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven to unify and govern, through the Ziwei Star System, the celestial realm of the solar system within the great cosmos. This includes the Earth's star system, all of which belong to the Ziwei Star System, performing rotations and revolutions to bestow virtuous blessings, thereby forming a dependent relationship.
The realm governed by the Purple Tenuity Star System encompasses an immensely vast expanse of celestial space. This is beyond the comprehension of any conceptual framework constructed within the human world, for within the confines of human thought, it is often assumed that only the earthly space we inhabit exists, with little to no understanding of other star systems.
The three stars of the Eastern Dipper in the great cosmos are aligned.
It is also unknown that there exist other vast cosmic star systems that are intrinsically connected to the Earth's star system. This connection is not something that can be constructed through human thought alone. It must be clearly understood: within the space where the entire great cosmos operates, there exists the administrative order of the Heavenly Sovereign, which governs the heavens, the earth, and humanity—the three realms—in all their functions.
It is precisely through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" and the "Mirror of the Earthly Heart" that the human world or the spiritual world reaches a boundary point of ascension and transcendence or descent and degradation. This is the foundation upon which both mirrors rely, and it is why, as truly spoken in the mortal realm: all projections of the IC microcrystal are recreated!
All of this is taken as a process, reflected within the IC microcrystals as a foundation, akin to the video recorders of the human world. This karma represents the descent of the profound mysteries of Heaven into the human realm, fostering the civilization of all future technologies, which has already begun to nurture and elevate all sentient beings.
All presiding deities of the Eastern Dipper celestial realm.
The Eastern Heaven (Dou) governs precisely the three stars: Tiandong, Tianwei, and Tianyu. These three stars function as the balancing forces circulating among the three constellations of the Eastern Heaven. This arrangement exists because, in the East, the celestial stems Jia and Yi correspond to the element Wood, the virtue of Benevolence among the Five Constants, the organ of the Liver in the body, and the color Blue among the Five Colors, which manifests as green on Earth.
Tiandong Star: It is considerably larger than the Earth's planetary system, surpassing it by over 120 times. On Tiandong Star, there exist mountains, rivers, and flowing waters, yet no traces of human presence. It is orbited by two satellites that revolve protectively around it, both existing within a higher, formless realm. In the future, traces of human activity will emerge there. In fact, the foundation for the emergence of species has already begun to take shape.
Tianwei Star: It is 170 times larger than the Earth's solar system, also featuring mountains, rivers, and traces of some animals, but without any satellites. In the future, there will be signs of human presence! It is a star system capable of sustaining life in the future, yet invisible to the naked eye of humans, only manifested by intangible species.
Tian Yu Star: This star system is 160 times larger than the Earth's solar system and possesses one satellite. Its geology is characterized by intense heat, and no life forms exist within this system. To date, no traces of any species have been found, thus it remains incapable of supporting any life forms. In fact, among the three stars of the Eastern Dipper, many advanced intangible realms are known to exist.
The three stars in the eastern sky each have their distinct forms.
It is precisely because of this human technology that we are unable to verify the existence of intangible energy bodies and their functions. The Three Stars of the Eastern Heaven are by no means ordinary planets; they have long been governed and administered by the Eastern Dipper. Therefore, under the management of the Three Stars of the Eastern Heaven's realm, there exist numerous stars, planets, and meteors, all of which serve as the foundation for the operations of this celestial realm.
The three stars of the Eastern Dipper Celestial Realm project all human actions onto the mortal world. Even before humans are born into the Earth's star system, there inevitably exists the principle that "life is not yet registered, but death is predetermined." Furthermore, under the leadership of the Eastern King, Lord of Wood, who governs the Eastern Celestial Realm, all administrative units are directly subordinate to the Eastern Dipper star system.
It is Dong Wang Mu Gong who governs the celestial realm of the East, with the three stars of the Eastern Dipper serving as the eastern, western, central, southern, and northern coordinates, exerting transformative influences upon all star systems. He further oversees the administrative operations of all verdant plants and trees in the human world. Thus, in heaven, this manifests as the color azure; on earth, as the lush green of spring; in the body, as the liver; and in humanity, as the nascent vitality of early spring.
Among the Five Constants, it is benevolence that governs. Thus, all actions and endeavors within the earthly realm are influenced by the verdant vitality. The flourishing and thriving of all living beings in the human world rely upon and are accomplished through this lush green condition. Such verdant circumstances provide a wholesome living space for the entire world, representing the most genuine and excellent opportunity for all existence.
The Eastern Dipper governs the records and calculations of human existence.
Thus, the stars 'Tiandong, Tianwei, and Tianyu' govern the human world and all star systems within the vast cosmos. Their descending influences within the Ziwei star system interact with this Earthly star system in a mutually supportive and fulfilling relationship. This dynamic operates in alignment with the principles of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics," guiding their functions accordingly.
Sentient beings, as original spirits in the human world, if they are virtuous individuals (benevolent), will inevitably be blessed with increased fortune and longevity. This enables them to establish and uphold all moral principles of human relations and social order within the human realm. These principles are implemented through the foundations of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues, thereby elevating the survival and interdependence of all humanity.
If a person is greatly wicked (lacking benevolence), their allotted lifespan will inevitably be reduced accordingly. The specifics are as follows: the most wicked will have their life reduced by a *ji* (one *ji*: 12 years); the next most wicked will have it reduced by a year (one year: 12 months); the third most wicked will have it reduced by half a year (180 days); the next level of wickedness will have it reduced by a *suan* (one *suan*: 30 days); and lesser degrees of wickedness will have it reduced by days...
There are numerous punishments and rewards, which are reported to the Three Stars of the Eastern Dipper and documented to the Five Ancient Celestial Realms. The Eastern King, Wood Duke, issues judgments based on "benevolence," which are then submitted to the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven for consolidation. Each year, on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, the accounts are settled. After the Lantern Festival of the following year, blessings such as prosperity, rank, longevity, and wealth are bestowed, or calamities, poverty, and hardships are decreed according to the year's reckoning.
All the star systems and celestial realms of the Three Stars
To understand survival in the human world, one must recognize that it is judged by Heaven, which determines the consequences of human actions. If one realizes that in this world, they are merely a fleeting passerby, then all wealth, poverty, success, or adversity are merely transient shifts within the present time and space—just part of the ebb and flow of life.
If one cannot clearly understand one's own actions, then all deeds are merely inherited and passed down, leaving only traces in the human world, with nothing that can be taken away. It all depends on whether one practices the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Principles and Eight Virtues. Therefore, in terms of blessings, wisdom, or a body full of sin, one knows best oneself!
Never allow the actions of your entire life to become "a lifetime of fame and achievement, yet a hundred generations of karmic debt"—that would be truly unworthy! Human beings often act in just this way, unable to break free from such limitations and obstacles. Frequently driven solely by personal gain—the pursuit of "currency"—they end up creating countless karmic obstacles and negative consequences.
The reflective effect of the three stars of the Eastern Dipper.
It is through the grace of Haotian that all sentient beings and primordial spirits are granted an opportunity for ascension and transcendence. Without understanding the respective duties of the Eastern, Western, Central, Southern, and Northern Dippers, one cannot comprehend how human actions in this world are observed, assessed, and verified by the divine providence.
No one can escape the illumination of the "Mirror of the Earth's Heart." Therefore, do not assume that your actions are merely minor flaws, thinking that heaven is high and the emperor is far away, or that the heavens have no eyes or ears. It is essential to understand that the eyes of heaven are like a net—sparse yet leaving nothing uncaught—and they will illuminate every single action, no matter how slight, of every sentient being and original spirit.
All will be faithfully presented anew, and even in the process of changes in thoughts and intentions, there will be no possibility of falsification. While computers in the human world can still be altered, this kind of IC microchip simply cannot be modified by human computer programs. If it could be altered, where then would the fairness and legitimacy of the laws of heaven and earth lie?
The virtue of the Purple Tenuity constellation knows no bounds,  
As the decree of the Vast Heaven descends to extend its blessings.
The three celestial bodies of the Eastern Dipper constellation  
All human deeds are clearly revealed.
Every action is clearly seen;  
It cannot be said that Heaven is blind.
In the verdant existence of humanity, virtue can be added to the sentient universe.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings; it embodies all the karmic conditions that have been profoundly difficult to convey within religions throughout the ages. Such karmic conditions can be elucidated through the works of "Dadao Haotian," thereby evolving the understanding of the true realities that have been challenging to verify clearly across millennia. Thank you all for your efforts and for dedicating some time to Chongxin. Farewell for now, everyone!
##The Star Lord of the Southern Dipper
The Sacred Heart Daoist Temple receives the decree of the Sage Emperor,  
An edict from the Wuji Mother descends in solemn ceremony.
The Second Lord Guan Ascends the Stage to Meet the Assembly —  
One’s own virtuous affinity is of one’s own making.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Star Lord of the Eastern Dipper from the Purple Subtlety Star System of the Eastern Heavenly Realm has descended to Chongxin to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven," offering a remarkably clear exposition of the "Three Stars of the Eastern Dipper." This is a profound celestial mystery rarely revealed throughout the ages, now presented for all to understand.
I wonder if you have ever heard of, or witnessed, such a process? Very few have! This is because in the present world, only the Chongxin lineage possesses such affinity and opportunity, and the karmic connection with the writing of "Dadao Haotian" has grown increasingly splendid to this day. Everyone can clearly see that, regarding the overall conditions, there can be a truthful analysis.
The Purple Star System, the Solar System, the Milky Way System, the South Pole Star System, the North Pole Star System, the Daluo Heaven System, the Wuji System, the Void System, and all the Pure Land Heavenly Systems—if the conditions mature, each may be elaborated and analyzed in the future. Can you comprehend this? Is it worth cherishing? Reflect upon it yourself!
This regional energy body will be imbued with the hues corresponding to the specific variation of the Five Elements energy it encompasses. These Five Elements include: benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust; metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; and the colors blue, yellow, red, white, and black. Different hues are distinguished by these Five Elements, each representing distinct energies.
The following is the arrangement of the five elements:
Five Directions, Five Associations, Five Elements, Five Constants, Five Colors, Five Viscera, Five Bowels, Five Precepts, Five Qi, Five Primordial Origins
East, Jia-Yi, Wood: Benevolence, Green, Liver, Liver-Gallbladder, Killing, Primordial Nature, Wandering Soul
West, Gengxin, Metal: righteousness, white, lungs, respiration, theft, primal emotion, ghostly soul.
South, Bing-Ding, Fire: Ritual, Red, Heart, Circulation, Excess, Primordial Spirit, Conscious Spirit
North, Ren and Gui, Water: Wisdom, Black, Kidneys, Urinary System, Alcohol, Primordial Essence, Turbid Essence
Center, Earth Element of the Wuji: Sincerity, Yellow, Spleen, Lymph, Delusion, Primordial Qi, Delusive Thought
## Wuji Chenghuang Dijun
The true realm of ultimate bliss in the Western Heaven,  
Where the merits of the Dipper stars align with righteousness.
The radiance of the stars illuminates the cosmos,  
As the lord ascends the four-star tier of the Western Dipper.
The Four Stars of the Western Dipper Govern
Governed by the Ziwei Star System, there are far too many star systems to count. Among all the myriad stars in the celestial firmament, it serves as the supreme administrator. Through the decrees of Haotian, commands are issued to the Ziwei Star System, establishing it as the ultimate authority. Furthermore, the five star systems—Eastern Dipper, Western Dipper, Central Dipper, Southern Dipper, and Northern Dipper—mutually complement and fulfill one another.
The Great Cosmos is not merely defined by the Earth's star system as its ultimate achievement; rather, it serves as the foundation and driving force for all the star systems of the Celestial Heavens. This truth manifests concretely within the vast expanse of the Great Cosmos. It can be said that the Ziwei star system, much like the Earth's star system, harbors myriad forms of life, all undergoing their own processes of survival and dependence.
The righteous deeds of all the star deities in the Western Dipper.
It is precisely with the metal element of the west, represented by Geng and Xin, that the unity of all things finds its home. In the heavens, it manifests as the white color of the west; on earth, it corresponds to the harvest of autumn. It is also the source that nurtures the original spirits of all beings, guiding them to their ultimate return. Among the five virtues, it embodies righteousness; in the human body, it corresponds to the lungs; in the heavens, it appears as white. Therefore, if a person upholds righteousness, their lungs will surely be healthy. Conversely, if a person lacks righteousness, their lungs are more likely to fall prey to illness and misfortune.
Thus, the Five Constants of the human world are grounded in the principles of heaven and earth, operating through the processes of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness." These can be integrated into the Three Bonds and Five Constants, as well as the Four Virtues and Eight Ethics, aligning precisely with the cyclical order of heaven and earth. Here, "righteousness" corresponds to the metal element of the west, represented by the colors white and gold, and further serves as a unifying and grounding force through the color white.
It can be said: In the human world, if one practices the principle of righteousness within the framework of the Five Constant Virtues, such a person is undoubtedly upright and loyal. Moreover, in the realm of human morality, possessing a "sense of righteousness" aligns with the actions and intentions of all sentient beings. If one lacks the practice of righteousness, they will fail to conform to the norms recognized by human society, which in turn will cause harm to the lungs.
The Western Dipper: Four stars govern the conduct of righteousness.
It is precisely the four stars of jurisdiction and balance that bring fulfillment: the Star of Lasting Brightness, the Star of Lasting Favor, the Star of Lasting Peace, and the Star of Lasting Prosperity, all under the administration of the Golden Mother within the celestial realm of the Five Elders. These correspond to the three stars of the Eastern Dipper, the four stars of the Western Dipper, the five stars of the Central Dipper, the six stars of the Southern Dipper, and the seven stars of the Northern Dipper, aligning with and integrating the various stellar systems.
It is essential to understand the virtues and blessings manifested by the operation of various celestial bodies. Each stellar system has its own achievements, causes, and interconnections. In the present human world, the function of "borrowing forces" operates extensively, as numerous different star systems mutually support one another, transcending the technological civilizations of each system and transmitting them downward to the stellar entities within Earth.
Only those who have formed virtuous connections with all the "primordial spirit seeds" of the Earth's star system can achieve mutual fulfillment. This can be described as a shared essence (genetic foundation), which prevents any adverse cycles of mutual obstruction and fosters interactive harmony. It is precisely such affinities that bring this about.
In the celestial realm of the Western Dipper, most beings exist in formless states.
Changming Star:
This star system, several times larger than the Earth's galaxy, possesses a self-luminous star and is home to numerous technological talents who thrive there, complete with mountains and flowing rivers. In their current state of survival dependency, some have borrowed the technological civilization of this star system and descended to the Earth's galaxy. Many star systems have thus been perfected, bestowed through mutual "borrowing of talents."
Changshun (Xiang) Star:
It is several times larger than the Earth's galaxy, with mountains, rivers, and flowing waters, making it more suitable for the survival of human-like species from the Earth's galaxy. Its technology surpasses that of the Earth's galaxy, having advanced further in scientific and technological civilization. In terms of survival and technological advancement, it even exceeds the Earth's galaxy, as all were created by more advanced species. On Changshun (Xiang) Star, sentient beings mutually support and fulfill one another, embodying the very essence of "righteousness."
Chang'an Star:
This celestial body is only a few times larger than the Earth's galaxy, featuring mountains, rivers, and flowing waters. Its soil is a softer, purer land, and its landscapes are those of a world with perpetual spring-like seasons. In terms of the abundance and comfort of life, it surpasses the Earth's galaxy without a doubt. Its superiority in sustaining life far exceeds that of the Earth's galaxy, making it clear: it is an energy entity equal to the collective primordial spirits of the Earth's galaxy!
Changtai Star:
Similar to the Earth's star system, it is only a few times larger than the Earth's system. It has rivers but no mountains, and its fiery heat is relatively mild, rarely erupting violently. Moreover, there are no living beings of any kind, meaning there are currently very few signs of life. Therefore, those who inhabit this star system are solely deities governing different star systems. Thus, it is clear that the current state of this star system is relatively unsuitable for the survival and dependence of the human race from Earth.
The four stars of the Western Dipper govern and oversee.
Therefore: the Star of Longevity and Radiance, the Star of Longevity and Harmony (Auspiciousness), the Star of Longevity and Peace, and the Star of Longevity and Prosperity are purified by the four stars of the Western Dipper celestial realm. Moreover, the Eastern Dipper governs the entire process of nurturing all verdant life within the star system. Furthermore, in the descent of primordial spirits, it is the Western Golden Mother who reigns and oversees. Humanity possesses sentiment and righteousness, and future generations of descendants shall likewise be virtuous, compassionate, and righteous.
It can be clearly understood: what kind of character one possesses now, future generations will possess the same! If one is compassionate and righteous, descendants will likewise be compassionate and righteous. Therefore, by aligning with the Xidou, no matter what humans do in this world, if they begin with righteousness, the future will inevitably bring "compassionate righteousness" and "righteous compassion." This is the natural consequence of the Way of Heaven rewarding virtue!
If the human world takes the Western direction of Gengxin Metal as its guide, it must meet the conditions of currency, which is precisely what enables the repayment of debts according to one's own wishes. Moreover, through mutual fulfillment within the Western world, and under the unified governance of the Western Golden Mother over all primordial spirits, they descend to be born in the Earth's star system or other star systems.
The Connection of the Four Stars in the Western Dipper Celestial Realm
It can be said: if humanity's current technological civilization lacks compassion and righteousness, it will suffer numerous harms born of such indifference in the future. It is clear that within the evolutionary process of the vast cosmos, the actions of oneself and all beings across Earth's planetary system are profoundly interconnected.
Can everyone clearly understand that within the vast universe, there exists a tangible connection with one's own body? If you do not believe it, the energy of your own body can connect with the energy of other star systems. I wonder if you can perceive how such an incredible connection arises?
This also verifies that for the entire cosmos, it is the same primordial spiritual particles that undergo the downward transformation of causal qualities (genes), and all incarnated primordial spiritual particles are granted the possibility of achievement and return. However, I wonder if everyone can clearly understand what the true intention is? It is fundamentally impossible to know: the original purpose of human incarnation is precisely to undergo transformation and elevation!
The filth of the original spirit and body runs deep,  
Unable to ascend and transcend into completion.
The Western Golden Mother protects the spiritual nature,  
All hoping to ride beyond the true.
Humanity, by virtue of its essence, lays the foundation for transformation;  
The cosmic star systems are interconnected by a profound covenant.
All forms of energy are identical;  
Telepathy functions like a real machine.
This verse is meant to encourage all sentient beings and original spirits: it is about achieving greater fulfillment for oneself and transcending the present circumstances, rather than remaining forever among the pitiful beings of the Earth's star system, unaware of where one came from or where one should return. This is the greatest obstacle that sentient beings and original spirits struggle to comprehend!
##The Great Emperor of the Northern Dipper
The Infinite Reverence of the Heart is the core essence;  
The Three-Pass Sage Emperor ascends the platform to bestow salvation.
A rare opportunity becomes clear and bright,  
A great turning point achieved through the ages.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Lord of the Western Dipper has descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*, offering a deeper analysis and elucidation of the "Four Stars of the Western Dipper." May you come to understand: the Four Stars of the Western Dipper are formed by the fusion of the Star of Eternal Brightness, the Star of Eternal Auspiciousness, the Star of Eternal Peace, and the Star of Eternal Prosperity.
Furthermore, across the east, west, center, north, and south, there are a total of 25 stars, plus the 28 lunar mansions, making 53 star systems in all. These are relatively more capable of having a genuine connection to all star systems, especially to the myriad beings of Earth's star system, sharing the same existence. Otherwise, how could one clearly discern whether, throughout all of humanity's existence, there is any relevance to oneself?
Again, all things begin with "the inception of containing causes," which is why there is "the retribution of results." Without the inception of containing causes, it would be difficult to achieve mutual harmony in all matters. It is essential to understand: What is the inception of containing causes! If so, then after the descent of the primordial spirit beings and their subsequent actions, having undergone numerous "kalpas of virtue (or vastness)," what should be done?
How can all negative cycles of cause and effect be resolved? It lies precisely in the fact that, across most celestial bodies of the Heavenly Realm, the origins of one’s inherent causes, along with actions in the present and past lives, are deeply interconnected. These all profoundly influence one’s current blessings and misfortunes. Can this be fully understood? Not necessarily!
## The Celestial Worthy of Limitless Teaching and Transformation
In the Purple Tenuity Constellation of the Central Heaven,  
Merits are measured by the Dipper, and credit brings relief.
The starlight spreads across the universe,  
You wield the five-star mechanism of the Central Dipper.
The Five Star Systems of the Middle Dipper Heavenly Realm
The Ziwei Star System: In its role as the guiding and central force, it is precisely the Five Dipper Star Lords of the East, West, South, North, and Center who carry out the alignment of the great cosmic Ziwei Star System. It is through the operational functions of each stellar body that interconnected systems are mutually linked, and in the process of aligning with the Ziwei Star System, the mission is accomplished through downward manifestation.
It governs the five star systems, which are respectively: Tianhe Star, Tianping Star, Tianzhong Star, Tianquan Star, and Tianlie Star. These five star systems operate with the Zhongtian Star System as the "Central Harmony and Righteous Path," serving as the functional mechanism that connects all star systems. This is achieved through the Five Constants of Heaven, specifically manifesting as the principle of "Trustworthiness."
Within the human body, it corresponds to the spleen; on earth, it is the "central" earth of Wu and Ji; in color, it manifests as yellow-orange. It can be clearly understood that under the governance and management of the Five Ancient Heavens, the Yellow Ancient One serves as the guiding authority. Regarding all "faithfulness" and truth in the human world and all living beings, it can be said that within every species of animal, there exists the function of "faithfulness" as its foundation.
The Deeds of the Five Stars of the Middle Dipper
It is akin to the cycle of spring's birth, summer's growth, autumn's harvest, and winter's storage—a process confirmed without deviation, guided by a faithful force that governs every seasonal dependency. Within the heavens and the earth, the four seasons are distinctly ordered, establishing a remarkably trustworthy and dependable rhythm.
Similarly, in each season: time and space are never disconnected from the faithful actions of reality—that is, the distinct four seasons are given to sentient beings and original spirit seeds to achieve the necessity of accomplishment for each star system, as well as for the fulfillment and growth of each original spirit seed. Only then can there be a virtuous elevation and return.
Through the guidance of Huang-Lao, the exercise of all genuine credit in the human world can attest to one fundamental truth: it is precisely by upholding integrity that humanity can navigate the vast spaces of the Earth's planetary system. This principle applies equally to the operation of all galaxies within the universe—it all hinges on adhering to "faithfulness and truthfulness."
The Five Stars of the Central Dipper in the Heavenly Realm of Zhongtian
The primary reliance of Heaven lies in the fundamental operations of the entire cosmos. Should there be planets that lack trustworthiness and integrity, numerous hardships, calamities, and perilous actions will arise. This clarifies the importance of "trustworthiness," and the conduct pertaining to integrity is precisely the key factor upon which the human world relies.
If a person lacks "faith," it is difficult to achieve favorable conditions for accomplishments. How, then, should one practice the concept of "faith"? Precisely by taking the yellow-orange light as the foundation for coexistence in life, we can clearly understand whether the gold used by humanity, as manifested by this yellow-orange radiance, aligns with this principle. Moreover, the adequacy of currency in facilitating livelihood must be accompanied by tangible and concrete actions of reliance.
This clarifies the crucial role that "faith" actually plays in guiding all transformative functions under the Ziwei star system, and how understanding the Five Stars of the Central Dipper can fulfill all living beings' dependencies for survival. Regarding the celestial realm of the central heavens, it is the Five Stars of the Central Dipper that govern the vast celestial expanse, exercising their authority over this domain.
The five stars thus take the central heavens as their ultimate destination.
Tianhe Star:
This planet is two to three times larger than Earth's solar system, featuring water and mountains, with geology resembling that of an orange-yellow hue. Within this galaxy, it possesses a satellite that mutually sustains and protects its host planet, forming a relatively mild, harmonious, and well-rounded celestial body. It is also among the more benevolent planets in its cosmic neighborhood.
Libra Star:
It is only about two to three times larger than the Earth's star system. All the geology on this planet consists of a relatively hard material, with no satellites, yet it features mountains and flowing water. Compared to Tianhexing, it possesses more advanced stellar technology and also draws upon resources from the Earth's star system.
Celestial Center Star:
It is precisely the arrival of the Purple Subtlety Star System at the Central Guiding Position. This is a relatively gentle star system, featuring mountains and flowing water, with three satellites providing protection. Its technological civilization is more advanced than that of the former Libra Star, leading to the "borrowing" of some high-tech primordial spirits to descend into the Earth's star system. As for the "Doumu Palace," that will be discussed another day.
Star of Celestial Authority:
The geology of this star system shines like quartz, without any satellites to guard it. It possesses both water and mountains, and is self-luminous with abundant energy. Its technological civilization surpasses that of any other star system. Moreover, it has lent the original spiritual essence of its high-tech civilization to the Celestial Authority Star, which in turn descends and transforms it into an even more exceptional form within the Earth's star system.
Heavenly Fierce Star:
It is a terrain akin to brass, devoid of mountains and rivers, and relatively hot. Thus, survival depends on achievements in the future, necessitating the transplantation of certain star systems. With three satellites, it accomplishes the descent of all future virtues and graces. In the vast cosmic star systems transformed by the Supreme Heaven, there are too many borrowed functions at play.
The Guiding Role of the Five Stars of the Middle Dipper
The five stars of the Middle Dipper are: Tianhe Star, Tianping Star, Tianzhong Star, Tianquan Star, and Tianlie Star. How do they manifest their functions by descending from the celestial realm of the Middle Dipper to the human world? Moreover, with the boundless grace of the great cosmic heavens, why does the Supreme Heaven bestow upon the sentient beings and primordial spirits of the Earth's star system the opportunity to mutually fulfill and perfect this grace? Truly, it is an expression of utmost care and meticulousness!
At present, human technological civilization is becoming increasingly prosperous, yet the principles of the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Virtues and Eight Ethics are gradually deteriorating and declining. With such a lack of goodness and virtue in people's hearts, how can they connect with and return to the heavenly will of the Supreme? This is precisely what the Supreme seeks to demonstrate through the dissemination of all high technology.
The ultimate aim is to enable all living beings across the planetary systems to achieve transcendence through technological civilization. However, the most pressing question at present is how to attain this transcendence. This is a crucial aspect; it is essential to understand all the underlying reasons, for otherwise, how can one establish a foundation for personal accomplishment and fulfillment?
The Role of Borrowing Generals from the Five Stars of the Central Dipper
In the realm of sentient beings, the sages, immortals, and buddhas also act in this manner, mutually aiding and perfecting the myriad sentient beings. This is the great virtue and boundless compassion of Heaven, the great virtue and boundless compassion of the immortals and buddhas. How then can we understand the fundamental reason for the role of "borrowing talents"? It is precisely because there exists an opportunity to elevate and transcend oneself!
The verification of "borrowing generals" for the lower transformation is bestowed upon sentient beings and myriad original spirits to facilitate their growth, elevation, and achievement. How, then, can this be accomplished through the fulfillment of "faith" itself? It is essential to understand that "faith" serves as the fundamental criterion for all paths of practice. It is precisely what human beings rely on for survival in daily life, and thus must be regarded as an indispensable guiding principle.
Those who lack faith waste all the efforts of a lifetime spent in cultivating the Way. This clearly reveals whether one's spleen function is sound, which is the fundamental issue! Hence, it is said: Taking "faith" as the primary reliance allows the Heavens to bear witness and bestow blessings, where all forms of "happiness, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and nobility" serve as tangible foundations for accumulation and preservation!
The myriad star systems of the vast cosmos  
Are governed by the divine mechanism of the Yellow Emperor and Laozi in the Central Heaven.
The five stars of the Middle Dipper are strung together in a line,  
Relying on borrowed forces to wield the power of technology.
The mercy and virtuous grace of Heaven above,  
All celestial immortals and Buddhas share this foundation.
The love among humanity has achieved,  
In the era of technological civilization's growth.
This is a profound mystery of the universe that has persisted through the ages, now realized and verified in the present world. For sentient beings and original souls, how should one achieve the actions that lead to their own accomplishment and refuge? It is about genuinely transforming the energy of one's own physical body. This is neither empty talk nor baseless speculation, but a true and verified function.
At present, it is difficult for humanity to fully comprehend, but through the passage of time and the verification of advanced technology, it will become clear that our descendants are precisely the ones who descend in great numbers—so many, many talents of such high technology—to disseminate this knowledge. It is hoped that readers will understand that these writings serve as proof that future technology will inevitably manifest. Having reached this point today, I thank you all for accompanying this work and troubling Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
## Wood Virtue Star Lord
The Great Cause of the Chongxin Daoist Sanctuary,  
A Sublime Path from the Wuji That Extends Beyond.
The Celestial Venerable of Enlightenment ascends the sacred platform,  
The Purple Tenuity Chapter of the Five Stars of the Central Dipper.
Good evening to all Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Lord of the Central Dipper from the Ziwei Star System has descended to compose the twentieth chapter of "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter verifies the star system of the five stars of the Central Dipper in the human world, revealing how the myriad star systems of the great cosmos are deeply interconnected with all human actions.
If you find it hard to believe, you may examine your own body for clarity. Consider the functions of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Any deficiency in these corresponds to a lack in benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness, and can be remedied accordingly. Moreover, it is possible to recover without medication by employing the method of the five elements' mutual generation to overcome physical ailments.
## Supreme Celestial Worthy of the Limitless Virtuous Path
The Southern Dipper galaxy reveres sincerity and clarity,  
As the Star Lord descends, the vast heavens overflow.
The Great Dao expands throughout the universe,  
Guided by the Fire Virtue of the Southern Dipper's six stars.
The Southern Dipper governs the celestial realm of six star systems.
The Ziwei Star System serves as the unifying force, drawing the allegiance of numerous galaxies across the vast cosmos. This is because the Ziwei Star System governs and integrates all galaxies within the great universe. Under such exceptional conditions and functions, it stands as the supreme commander of the cosmic galaxies. Thus, what influence does it exert upon all star systems?
Within the same galactic system as Earth, as well as all celestial systems and all living beings across the heavens, there exist mutual causes, conditions, and interconnections. The emanations from the Ziwei Star System serve precisely to unify and guide the entire cosmos, uplifting all living beings across all galactic systems of the great universe—particularly those akin to humanity—by elevating their intrinsic qualities toward higher growth.
The Life-Prolonging Function of the Southern Dipper's Six Stars
For each individual star system, there exists its own basis for survival. The ability to comprehend this lies in the fact that the technological civilizations of these star systems are progressively more advanced, necessitating the influence of numerous spatiotemporal environments and the nurturing of abundant virtues bestowed upon each star system. As for Earth, it is merely a medium-level survival star system.
To attain a more advanced technological civilization, one may hope to evolve the species of Earth's galactic civilization. Only then can the Earth's galaxy be propelled to surpass the integrated technological civilization, granting all sentient beings the opportunity to elevate their individual natures through the advancement of both technology and spiritual civilization. This is a gradual process, step by step, not something that can be achieved overnight.
Regarding technological civilization, how can it be perfected to benefit all living beings, bestowing abundant virtues and blessings through its transformative influence? It is precisely necessary to implement it step by step according to the appropriate time and conditions. There will be many great virtues and blessings across different times and circumstances, yet these cannot be achieved all at once to nurture life in the era of technological civilization.
The Southern Dipper's Six Stars: The Southern Fire of Bing and Ding.
The governance is precisely integrated by the six star systems: Tianfu Star, Tianxiang Star, Tianliang Star, Tiantong Star, Tianshu Star, and Tianji Star. Each entity has achieved considerable accomplishments and gains in technological civilization, similar to that of the Earth's star system. It can be clearly understood that all conditions correspond to red in the heavens, and to the south on Earth, with Bing and Ding belonging to the element of "Fire".
In the Five Elements, it pertains to "Propriety" and corresponds to the heart in the body, with its color being red. Its function is precisely unified by the Red Essence, as the Red Essence Ancestor resides in the Five Elders Heavenly Realm, presiding over the great virtues and blessings descending from the Southern Dipper star system. Thus, it takes "Propriety" as its foundation, and further integrates the human world into the proper guidance and operation of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth.
To achieve efficacy in the fundamental functions of practicing the way of humanity for oneself, one must rely on the norms of "ritual" and its order. This necessitates the principles of "order between the young and the old, and distinction between the noble and the humble," which can mutually fulfill the role of "ritual." Only by relying on this for survival can the order of "ritual" be fully realized.
This involves establishing norms for the conditions upon which reliance on Heaven is based. Such norms must align with and complement the cosmos, the void, the infinite, and the vast heavens. Guided by the Ziwei star system, these norms do not overstep the unifying principles of "propriety." They serve as the basis for determining human lifespan, whether shortened or extended.
The Southern Dipper governs the six star systems.
Thus, the stars of Tianfu, Tianxiang, Tianliang, Tiantong, Tianshu, and Tianji mutually support and complete one another, receiving the protection of the six stars of the Southern Dipper. Therefore, in this regard:
Star of Heavenly Prosperity:
It is precisely a galaxy twice the size of Earth's, with three satellites that complement each other; it has mountains, water, and life thriving upon it. Its geology is as solid as stone, much like that formed in Earth's galaxy, and its civilization is particularly advanced in technology, surpassing that of Earth's galaxy by thousands of times.
Heavenly Minister Star:
There is a planet with geology identical to Earth's, yet its star system is twice the size of Earth's. It has mountains, rivers, and life thriving upon it, resembling Earth's star system in many ways. However, it lacks the intense volcanic heat that characterizes Earth's star system. In this manner, it complements Earth's star system, both mutually perfected through the descent of primordial spirit seeds.
Celestial Beam Star:
It shares geological similarities with the Earth's planetary system, featuring a brass-like terrain with abundant fertile soil. There are mountains, rivers, and a highly advanced technological civilization, surpassing the previous two in terms of survival technology and civilization. This is a manifestation of divine grace and accomplishment bestowed by the heavens.
Tiantong Star:
Three satellites provide mutual protection and support. Yet, with mountains but no rivers, the terrain is dry, forming a relatively hot and barren land. Due to this warmer living environment, even with advanced technological civilizations spanning different star systems, there remains a lack of affinity with the Earth's star system. Hence, there is seldom any role for borrowing talents or resources.
Celestial Pivot Star:
It is similar to the planet Earth's star system in terms of its land, being composed of relatively hard, rocky material. Within this star system, there are mountains, bodies of water, and numerous satellites that protect and sustain it. Moreover, its technological civilization is more advanced than that of Earth's star system. Consequently, some individuals have been borrowed from this star system to achieve mutual support and care.
Star of Heavenly Mystery:
It is a planetary system similar to Earth, with geology resembling yellow quartz, and its dominant glow is akin to that of the Milky Way galaxy. The living environment features mountains and water, and it is approximately twice the size of Earth's planetary system. Moreover, its technological civilization surpasses that of the previous five stars.
Therefore, the "borrowing of talents" by the Heavenly Realm on this planet involves a greater proportion from the Celestial Mechanism Star compared to the previous five. However, can sentient original souls, through their descendants, achieve the effect of "borrowing talents" from high-tech civilizations? It is precisely through the function of "propriety" and the mutual resonance of corresponding causes and conditions that this is accomplished!
The Heavens Deliberate on the Future of Technological Development
The grand cosmic system of the Southern Dipper in the universe fosters the mutual fulfillment of all human connections. Under the influence of the cosmic star systems, this can be clearly verified. Indeed, many such phenomena are precisely the workings of the heavens, manifesting truthfully upon the Earth's star system. Over the past millennium, everyone can witness and further clarify these manifestations.
All civilizations evolving on Earth were established over a century ago. In the 21st century, numerous technological civilizations will descend. Through the collective deliberation of the heavenly immortals and Buddhas from the upper realms, this issue was revisited 60 years ago, and again 30 years ago, following joint discussions among the five major religions and the presiding administrators of the celestial realms and star systems.
After mutual deliberation, in order to prevent future calamities that may befall humanity, a proposal was submitted to the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven for a sacred judgment. The benevolent Jade Emperor was further moved and gratified! To elevate the technological civilization of Earth to surpass its current state, it is essential to take the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues as the foundational principles. Only then can we avoid the potential consequences of relying solely on technological advancement.
It is an act that undermines the peace and well-being of the entire Earth and its celestial system, while also negating the profound benevolence bestowed by Heaven. Through deliberation and integration at the Hall of the Lord of the Southern Heaven—the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance—under the administration of the Heavenly Court, a collaborative framework has been established among the celestial realms of the East, West, South, North, and Center. This serves as the fundamental basis for mutual fulfillment and upholds all blessings for humanity.
The Auspicious Karma of the Southern Dipper's Six Stars
It is precisely based on this principle that many high-tech talents from the heavens are selected. They must have had past connections with the Earth's star system to achieve mutual compatibility and accomplishment. Moreover, they must have once lived within the Earth's star system and subsequently attained remarkable achievements through various karmic conditions.
Thus, with such causes and conditions fully in place, returning to the Earth's star system is precisely achieved through "borrowing talents" for rebirth. Descending into the Earth's star system also better aligns with superior genetic qualities and shared inherent qualities. With great affinity to achieve success, there will be no rejection due to differences in inherent qualities.
It also lies within the energy of the self, where the primary causes and conditions for achievement reside. Everyone can understand that the essence of this technological civilization and its genetic foundation is of superior transcendence, something that contemporary humanity is absolutely incapable of comprehending or grasping! The analysis presented in this work requires a considerable length of time to be verified before it can be deemed authentic.
The Ziwei constellation governs in unity,  
Descending to harmonize with the five stars in accord.
The stars of the East, West, South, North, and Center  
Converge here in harmonious union.
The function of rites lies in establishing order,  
Just as the celestial paths rely on one another in harmony.
Without contradicting the cycles of heavenly principles,  
We mutually fulfill and transcend the opportunities.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirit children for mutual encouragement; by analyzing the operational processes of all celestial bodies within the cosmic star systems, one can achieve enlightenment in present thoughts and concepts. Perhaps, at this moment, many may not yet be able to personally realize it. However, when the cycles of time and space manifest their proof, it will surely move the heart to tears.
It is precisely so: The grace of Heaven towards sentient beings of affection lies in its great compassion, great virtue, great benevolence, great righteousness, great sentiment, and great love bestowed upon the Earth and its star system. This is the profound virtue and grace of the Vast Heaven, as well as the compassionate descent and affirmation from the celestial immortals and Buddhas of all heavens. Thank you all for your hard work. We apologize for the disturbance to the Chongxin lineage. Farewell!
## Water Virtue Star Lord
Rare is the affinity that touches the vast heavens; boundless is the virtue across the cosmic stars.
The Imperial Lord of Wuji City God Ascends the Throne,
Expounding the Manifestation of Heavenly Affinities.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Lord of the Southern Dipper from the Ziwei Star System descends to compose the twenty-first chapter of "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven." This chapter disseminates the karmic connections of the six stars of the Southern Dipper, which can be verified by future technological civilization. As it is being written in the present moment, a surge of energy is simultaneously being infused.
The infusion and dissemination within the collective physical form are achieved and attained through one's own efforts. The accumulation of energy for each individual is built in the present moment. This energy can foster the future development of high-tech civilization and ensure the endowment of positive energy for future generations. It requires everyone in the human world to accumulate virtue through moral integrity.
It can be accumulated and attained by each individual, not achieved overnight; it must be gathered bit by bit and passed down. Cherish it yourself! Congratulations to all for having this rare celestial opportunity fully prepared and obtained—a condition not commonly found in ordinary spiritual centers. We should be grateful to Heaven, and bow in thanks for the grace of our celestial teachers, whose virtues are bestowed and verified upon us.
## The Celestial Venerable of Boundless Joy and Bliss
The Big Dipper unfolds vast wisdom across the celestial horizon,  
The Star Lord’s virtuous grace spreads far and wide, impartial and boundless.
Twenty-Second Chapter of the Great Dao Haotian: The Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper Uphold Righteousness.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm governs the seven star systems.
The Ziwei Star System assumes full responsibility for leadership, supported by the celestial realms of the East, West, South, North, and Center. It serves as the governing and guiding force within each celestial realm, and across all stellar systems, each individual star system takes the lead in the world of all beings. The myriad life forms across the vast cosmic star systems are integrated and unified, ultimately guided and encompassed by the Ziwei Star System, which provides leadership and cohesion.
It is under the jurisdiction of the Elder of Water Essence, thus in heaven it manifests as black, on earth as the guiding form of the northern Ren and Gui waters, in the four seasons as winter's storage, in the human body as the kidneys, and among the five elements as wisdom. Therefore, it governs the human world, precisely under the unified management of the Water Essence of the Five Elders' Heavenly Realm, and is categorized under the Water Essence Son of the Five Elders.
From the perspective of the human world, it is guided by the "wisdom" among the Five Constant Virtues. In the process of survival orientation and dependence within the human world, it is precisely through the accumulation of wisdom gained from experience that the nurturing of life and the process of survival dependence in the human world can be promoted. This necessitates the application of wisdom to dissolve the sufferings and hardships of existence in the human world.
Functions of the Big Dipper Constellation
Growth and elevation can be achieved through wisdom; otherwise, in the human world, one cannot attain the wisdom necessary for elevation. For sentient beings and primordial spirits, remaining merely ordinary humans in the human realm is not the original intention or action of Heaven. Rather, it is hoped that sentient beings and primordial spirits will elevate themselves, ascending and transcending upward.
Where one comes from in birth, one ought to return to. Moreover, by transcending the original foundation of one's initial existence, one can achieve abundant gains and benefits, as well as genuine growth and elevation. This, in turn, bestows blessings upon the survival of all humanity and offers every race a path to return and transcend.
The Big Dipper governs the seven celestial stars: the Greedy Wolf, the Giant Gate, the Prosperity Preserver, the Literary Curves, the Pure and Upright, the Martial Arts, and the Army Breaker. Additionally, there are the Outer Assistant Star and the Inner Support Star, which together contribute to the formation of the "Celestial Realm of the Seven Primordials of the Big Dipper." This serves as the foundation for bestowing virtue upon the human world and other planetary realms.
Through the human world, it integrates into the crystallization of wisdom. In the human world, those who use Zi Wei Dou Shu to create destiny charts do so by taking the Big Dipper as the main body, supplemented by the star systems of the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central celestial realms. Only by aligning with all survival orientations of the human world can the future direction of destiny be determined.
The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper Act Through the Ages.
From this, it can be understood that within the celestial realm of the Big Dipper, there exists a principle that can be stated as: "Before life is recorded, death must first be inscribed." Furthermore, the Big Dipper also governs the formation of the Five Elements and Five Constants in the human world. All deficiencies and shortcomings in the orientation of human survival are attributed to whether the kidney water within each individual's body is sufficient.
Furthermore, how can one discern, through the strength or weakness of kidney function in various physical bodies, the nature of provisions within wisdom? And how can one understand the conditions endowed in each individual? It is also because of the "Water of Ren and Gui in the North" bestowed upon the original spiritual beings of sentient beings, and how does this relate to the strength or weakness of kidney function?
Sentient beings can clearly discern the extent of their accumulated wisdom. This can be readily understood by assessing the strength of their kidney function. In the north, the celestial stems Ren and Gui correspond to the water element, which is essential for the fullness of wisdom. For humanity, all survival and sustenance depend on the sufficiency of "kidney water and wisdom."
The Functions and Roles of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper
It is through the governance of the celestial realm of the Northern Dipper that duties are managed and authority exercised. This is precisely because of the alignment with stars such as the Greedy Wolf, the Great Gate, the Wealth Preserver, the Literary Star, the Pure and Upright, the Martial Star, and the Army Breaker, which together constitute the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper, serving as:
Greedy Wolf Star:
It is more than twice the size of the Earth's planetary system, featuring mountains and waters but devoid of any satellites, with a geological composition primarily of quartz. The technological civilization of this system precisely aligns with the celestial realm's purpose of "borrowing talents"; hence, many such borrowed talents have descended into the human world and been born within the Earth's planetary system.
Jumen Star:
It is a galaxy with a terrain resembling wood, featuring mountains and rivers, yet without any satellites for protection. It is twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, and its technological civilization surpasses that of Earth by hundreds of times. Some of the technological talents have been precisely borrowed and cultivated from this galaxy.
Star of Wealth and Rank:
It is a terrain resembling stone in composition, with a technological civilization far surpassing that of Earth. Though featuring mountains and waters, it has no planetary or stellar satellites. Its existence transcends the Earth's solar system by a great measure, and even more so compared to the celestial realm of the Big Dipper, while also exhibiting varying densities.
Beside it, there is also an "Outer Auxiliary Star" that mutually restrains it. This contributes to the mutual balance within the stellar system, as well as to the downward transformative function of nurturing the "blessings and prosperity" that exist in the human world, thereby fostering virtuous growth in humanity.
Wenquxing:
It is one to two times larger than the Earth's star system. This system features both mountains and waters, with no satellites, and is entirely dedicated to the flourishing of literary arts. Moreover, in the past in the Central Land or across the world, all instances of the "Literary Star" descending have occurred within the Earth's star system.
It is precisely because the leading figures of the dynasty are all attached to official positions such as top scholars, second-place finishers, or third-place finishers in the imperial examinations, that their refined literary talent in influencing the world, within the Earth's star system, surpasses even that of other star systems, if not exceeds it.
Lianzhen Star:
It is only about twice the size of the Earth's star system, being a geological and rocky star system, hence it possesses mountains and water, yet it has no satellites. Its technological civilization far surpasses all technological evolution in the Earth's star system, capable of performing dependent conditional actions and movements, serving as a descending and borrowing function, and it radiates throughout the entire cosmic star systems. Consequently, the original spirits existing in each individual star system are indeed abundant!
Wuqu Star:
There are mountains and rivers, yet it is merely akin to the planetary systems of Earth, devoid of any satellites for protection. Moreover, its inhabitants, in their preference for wielding blades and spears, have cultivated formidable martial prowess, capable of leaping hundreds of feet in a single bound.
The civilization and technology far surpass that of the Earth's galaxy and all other galaxies. Moreover, the warriors of ancient times in the Central Land, including all the champions of the Western world in the Earth's galaxy, are all descended from the Martial Star, descending into the human world or the worlds of other planets.
The Star of the Military Strategist:
It is approximately twice the size of the Earth's star system, a celestial body with mountains and waters, much like the Martial Arts Star in its wondrous nature; yet those who descend from the Martial Arts Star must have their own causes and purposes.
When the star of Pojun descends, it attaches itself to the star of Wuqu to achieve mutual fulfillment. Moreover, Wuqu serves as the leader, while Pojun acts as the army, forming a harmonious partnership rarely seen throughout the ages. Additionally, there is a star known as "Neibi" located beside the constellation, which functions to balance and restrain the system, providing mutual assistance and support to fulfill all advisory roles.
Outer Auxiliary Star:
It is through the outer influence of the Star of Lu Cun that mutual assistance is provided to the Big Dipper, achieving mutual fulfillment. This serves as a foundation for supporting all star systems and dynasties in both cultural achievements and martial prowess, governed by the auxiliary star systems. With mountains, waters, and technological civilizations that sustain life, it surpasses the Earth's star system.
Inner Assistant Star:
It is also based on a dynasty, or the internal governance of the celestial court, for when talents in governance are to be bestowed upon a certain star system, they must be capable of assisting in all aspects of internal administration within the court. Therefore, in such a star system, there is water, there are mountains, and its technological civilization far surpasses that of the Earth's star system.
In the alignment of the "Inner Support and Outer Assistance" star system, it is precisely during the period when the Great Heavenly Lord, the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, governs and oversees the cosmos. In different eras and dynasties, it is essential to have the inner political advisors—protected by the Inner Support Star—and the external governance safeguarding the nation—cared for by the Outer Assistance Star. Thus, throughout the grand dynasties of a thousand autumns, they are blessed and guarded.
It can be understood that this revelation of celestial secrets is by no means an incomprehensible matter. Rather, it is precisely because such revelations are rarely bestowed upon the human world that they are seldom recorded in the virtuous texts available to humanity. Moreover, the works that do document and verify these celestial secrets are exceedingly precious, as they can attest to truths across the ages. Indeed, opportunities for such revelations to descend are themselves rare and bound by profound karmic conditions.
The Roles of the Big Dipper Across Various Dynasties
This principle is precisely based on such conditions, and because for all dynasties across the Earth’s space—regardless of whether they were in the Central Plains, the Western Regions, the East, the North, or the South—this "borrowing of generals" function has served as a cause and condition. This is not something that has only emerged in the present; in fact, it has long been in effect since ancient times, continuously working to uplift humanity.
It has long been the case that celestial beings from the heavens are "borrowed" to descend into the human world or other star systems. It can be said that for all the celestial realms—the Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern, and Central Dippers—it is Haotian who governs the decrees issued by all heavenly domains. This serves as an eternal testament to the virtuous grace bestowed upon humanity, descending and transforming within the mortal realm.
In this present era, it is through the Confucian sacred teachings—the Yichong Xintang—that the virtuous grace of a thousand autumns descends and transforms to bear witness. It can be clearly understood: why does the destiny chart of "Zi Wei Dou Shu" integrate with the Big Dipper? This is precisely because such profound wisdom has rarely descended into the human world throughout the ages. It is essential to comprehend how the collective karma of all beings operates.
The Big Dipper of the Haotian Star System
Regarding the virtuous customs and moral standards of various nations, what can be observed? It can be verified that there has been turmoil throughout the ages! In truth, it all arises from the unwholesome nature of human hearts, and is absolutely not caused by a lack of compassion from Heaven. Rather, it is formed by the collective karma of all nations. When can it be eradicated? When will blessings descend?
It is precisely the actions and choices concerning all sentient beings within each nation-state that determine such circumstances, which are ubiquitous and can be clearly understood. In all nation-states across the Earth's planetary system today, can such circumstances be observed? The answer is evident at a glance, and it distinguishes the future "blessings and calamities" of each nation.
In addition to the celestial realms of the Five Dippers—East, West, South, North, and Center—they also govern numerous star systems. Their jurisdiction is not limited to the three stars of the East Dipper, the four stars of the West Dipper, the five stars of the Center Dipper, the six stars of the South Dipper, and the seven stars of the North Dipper. Each celestial realm also oversees the twenty-eight lunar mansions, which are subordinate to their respective celestial domains. Many of these star systems have not yet descended to the Earth's galaxy, precisely because the conditions and affinities for their manifestation have not yet ripened.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions are as follows:
Eastern Dipper Celestial Realm:
Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji are constellations; within them, a total of 31 star systems are governed, each serving distinct functions.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm:
Dou, Niu, Nü, Xu, Wei, Shi, Bi — these are the constellations; within them, a total of 41 star systems are governed, each with its own distinct purpose.
Western Dipper Celestial Realm:
Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen are constellations; within them, a total of 46 star systems are governed, each serving distinct functions.
Southern Dipper Celestial Realm:
Well, Dweller, Dweller, Willow, Star, Extended, Wing, and Chariot are the constellations; within them, a total of 61 star systems are governed, each with its own distinct functions.
Therefore: the twenty-eight constellations governed by the celestial realms of the East, West, South, and North Dippers—among all constellations, the larger ones and those with karmic connections to Earth; among the various celestial bodies, it is only those that have significant karmic relationships with the actions and deeds of the human races within Earth's star system that are analyzed. Other karmic connections remain unripe and thus have not been revealed!
Among these twenty-eight constellations, there are 179 star systems that have relatively strong karmic connections with the human world. In truth, there are far more than these, as numerous other star systems exist, though they rarely descend to influence the Earth's galaxy. These systems are interconnected, much like the relationship between humanity and all extraterrestrial civilizations.
The Purple Emperor Star System governs with authority,  
The Eastern Dipper Star System embodies benevolence and virtue.
The Western Dipper constellation takes righteousness as its foundation; the Southern Dipper constellation establishes propriety as its ritual.
The Wisdom Mechanism of the Big Dipper Constellation  
The Faith-Based Covenant of the Middle Dipper Constellation
All twenty-eight lunar mansions share the same meaning,  
Inner guidance and outer support, their virtue is beyond doubt.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits. It is precisely in the difficult karmic conditions of the present era, as bestowed by the heavenly realm of Haotian, that growth and accomplishment are forged. Only through such firsthand experience can we clearly discern whether there exists a foundation for future achievements. Thus, it truthfully reveals how closely human existence is intertwined with these principles.
Truly, it is the great compassion, great virtue, great benevolence, great righteousness, great affection, and great love of Heaven bestowed upon the Earth and its star system, as well as the virtuous grace of the Vast Heaven, along with the compassionate descent and affirmation of the celestial immortals and buddhas from all heavens. This is absolutely true and indeed related to human actions. Moreover, today we have disturbed Chongxin to establish an eternal testament, and we thank everyone for their hard work. Farewell!
##Lord of the Golden Virtue Star
Unraveling the mechanism of the Five Bushels Heavenly Realm,  
the will of the Celestial Worthy of Infinite Enlightenment.
The Sacred Heart composes the Celestial Tome,  
Dissecting humanity's age of ignorance.
Good evening to all saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the North Star Sovereign from the Ziwei Star System has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*. This chapter provides a renewed exposition and analysis of the Big Dipper’s seven stars and completes the alignment of the twenty-eight lunar mansions, offering clarity for all to understand.
This principle of "borrowing and utilizing" under the virtue and grace of Haotian is not unique to the present era. In fact, throughout different cosmic cycles and dynasties since ancient times, it has been perceptible to all sentient beings and original spirits—it has long existed. Now, under the influence of technological civilization, it is merely being manifested once again through the recurring cycles of different cosmic epochs.
Granting clarity, how shall we transcend in the future technological civilization? Moreover, the compassionate grace of Heaven has already descended upon the Earth's star system and all star systems. Are we, in our present moment, striving to ride the wave of future transcendence, or are we unable to comprehend, thus finding it difficult to return and transcend? Can this be understood? Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

Woodwork embodies benevolence and virtue, shining selflessly;  
Virtue and the Way propagate the essence of truth.
The Star Lord descends to inscribe the Celestial Scroll;  
The Eastern Heaven's constellations are governed by the Star Office.
Eastern Celestial Realm of the Stars
The achievement of the Ziwei star system is accomplished through the integration and reliance upon the celestial realms of the East, West, South, North, and Center. This involves the unified command and authority of the various Star Lords of the Dippers in the East, West, South, North, and Center. It also lies in the governance and jurisdiction exercised by these Star Lords over their respective constellations.
Furthermore, when observing the various celestial realms, it is evident that each must have its own constellations to which it is aligned, not limited solely to the Eastern Celestial Realm. There exist constellations that serve a governing function, and the constellations of the Eastern Celestial Realm, precisely the seven stars: Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji, fulfill this role of command and alignment.
The Eastern Celestial Realm is precisely thus:
Jiao Constellation: governs two star systems.  
Di Constellation: governs four star systems.
Heart Star Mansion: governs the five-star system.  
Winnowing Basket Star Mansion: governs the four-star system.
Kang Constellation: governs four star systems.  
Fang Constellation: governs three star systems.
The Tail Star Mansion: governs the nine star systems.
A total of 31 galaxies
Among these galactic entities, the actions undertaken by each galactic body are significantly related to the deeds and conduct of all sentient original spirits within the human world or other celestial realms of planets. To elaborate in detail:
◎ Horn Star Mansion—Governs two star systems:
01. Tianfu Star:
It is more than twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, with mountains and rivers, and its geology resembles a region of quartzite. Moreover, it holds a significant connection to the virtuous merits of all sentient beings.
02. The Star of Heavenly Nobility
It is two to three times larger than the Earth's galaxy, with water and mountains. The region is built upon a foundation of gold, making it particularly precious, much like the noble essence shared by all living beings, which is inevitably interconnected.
◎ Kang Constellation—Governs the Four Star Systems:
03. Tianzhang Star:
This galaxy is approximately twice the size of Earth's, with mountains and waters, governed by a region of wood element; its authority and responsibility are attached to the sentient beings of the mortal realm, precisely serving as the foundation upon which power relies and functions.
04. Tianfu Star:
Thus, the planetary system serves as the foundation, with water and mountains present, and geology akin to the workings of silver. This provides numerous supporting factors to rely upon, enabling all living beings to be endowed with every form of blessing.
05. Tian De Xing:
It is of the same magnitude as the Earth's star system, yet its virtue has reached perfection. As for the virtue of all primordial spirit particles, how is it to be assessed? It must be illuminated by the Celestial Virtue Star, leaving no place to hide, and thus be examined and augmented accordingly.
06. The Heavenly Tung Star:
Therefore, it is based on mutual fulfillment and guided by ritual and righteousness, with the Great Harmony World serving as the ultimate realization. This is because the terrain resembles aluminum, featuring both mountains and rivers, as well as two satellites, which is why the civilization that thrives here is relatively advanced in technology.
◎Di Constellation—governs the four star systems:
07. Star of Heavenly Wealth:
For all races within the sentient world, this place can be regarded as a land of abundance, akin to a geological formation rich in diamonds. It is characterized by mountains but lacks water, yet it fosters prosperous living and relatively advanced technological civilization. At present, some aspects of this civilization also draw upon resources from other star systems.
08. Tianlu Star:
This realm is of the same size as the Earth's star system, with a terrain resembling "tin"—featuring water but no mountains. However, its technological civilization far surpasses that of other star systems, and thus, some beings have been borrowed from this civilization to assist in guiding and transforming others.
09. Star of Heavenly Longevity:
This planet is approximately twice the size of the Earth's solar system, with geology similar to copper, featuring mountains and rivers, and is also protected by satellites. Indeed, for all sentient beings, whether lifespan increases or decreases is closely related to the celestial star of longevity.
10. Hongluan Star:
It is of the same planetary system as Earth, only slightly larger, with a geology similar to gold and quartz. There is water but no mountains. All marriages in the human world are facilitated by the influence of the Red Luan Star, which must initiate the process to bring about the fulfillment of marriage.
◎Fang Xing Su—Governor of the Three Star Systems:
11. The Heavenly Chamber Star:
Unlike the Earth's star system, it is built upon a foundation akin to gold, silver, and stone, with a technological civilization surpassing that of other star systems, if not exceeding them. This is a planet of even greater achievements.
12. Heaven's Injury Star:
Similar to the Earth's planetary system, it has geology as its foundation, with water but no mountains. The geological conditions are relatively unsuitable for human survival, yet they can accommodate species from other star systems, hence their technology is also more advanced.
13. The Star of Heavenly Waste:
Its geology differs from that of Earth-like planetary systems, resembling more of a rocky composition. Although it possesses water and mountains, the terrain consumes more energy and shows no signs of life. Such resource depletion renders it relatively backward in terms of technological civilization.
◎The Heart Star Constellation—governs the five star systems:
14. Tianxin Star:
This is distinct from the planetary star systems of Earth, possessing a geological composition akin to the quality of gold. Moreover, in terms of compassion, it is a star system more capable of being guided by right view, which is, in fact, the origin of all star systems in the present moment.
15. Tian Ting Xing:
This is a high-tech civilization, serving as the primary controller of computers in the human world. Its geological conditions are relatively less ideal, featuring only water and no mountains. This star system functions as a product of high-tech civilization, benefiting all the myriad star systems.
16. Heavenly Radiance Star:
It is similar to the Tianxing star, but what sets it apart is its more intense radiance and the presence of more advanced forms of life within its galaxy. This is a relatively benevolent star system.
17. Heavenly Awn Star:
It differs from Earth, as there are many meteor streams that are pursued by the Tianmang star. Moreover, within the cosmic galaxy, it ensures that the many meteor streams do not cause pursuit and collisions, and this is precisely the duty of the Tianmang star.
18. Celestial Phenomena and Stars:
Therefore, taking the Ziwei star system as a reference, it can be said that among all the galaxies in the Milky Way, it is one of the more technologically advanced and civilized star systems. Twice the size of the Earth's solar system, it governs and balances the existence and operations of all the celestial bodies within the Ziwei star system.
◎The Tail Star Mansion—governs the nine star systems:
19. Tail Star of Heaven:
The geology of this planet is similar to that of Earth's star system, featuring mountains and rivers, with some starlight radiating from it, albeit slightly dimmer. Within this star system, there exists an abundance of technological civilizations, where thoughts and contemplations can manifest instantly with a mere flicker of the mind.
20. Celestial Creation Star:
Like the lunar star system, it is built upon a foundation of loess, with mountains and rivers, and some human races inhabit the star system. For survival within this star system, high-tech civilizations can be invoked, resulting in many technological civilizations, and some talents are also borrowed and sent down.
21. Tianqi Star:
It is as luminous as the solar system, with a geology similar to that of quartzite. In terms of interstellar technology, it surpasses the previous few galaxies, boasting a highly advanced civilization, and is capable of soaring through the skies.
22. The Star of Heavenly Principle
This planet belongs to the same star system as Earth, radiating with golden light. It features mountains and rivers, as well as a highly advanced technological civilization. The species inhabiting it are superior to those of other star systems. Within the same individual star systems, high-speed transportation devices powered by advanced technology are used for travel.
23. The Heaven-Severing Star:
This is an inauspicious region of inferior quality, where mountains and waters are guarded by three satellites. Yet, it is where the more cunning, malicious, and obstinate entities of various star systems are gathered into this constellation, precisely to sever all foundations for their descendants.
24. Observing the Stars in the Sky:
This is because, towards the vast cosmos of the celestial realm, one can directly gaze upon and rely on the outer galaxies. It is precisely due to the manifestation of technology as vast as the heavens that, when observing the stars from above, the entirety of the outer galaxies becomes clear at a single glance!
25. The Star of Heavenly Conscience:
Thus, in the human world, the virtuous affinities upon which we rely are supported by water and mountains, and for this star system, which serves as a refuge, reliance is placed upon innate conscience. It is three times larger than the Earth's star system. Most religious figures who descend to the Earth's star system or other star systems originate from this very star system.
26. The Celestial Star:
Where there are mountains and waters, and geology akin to quartzite, there lies the Craftsmanship Galaxy, where signs of life flourish abundantly, capable of fostering a technological civilization skilled in all crafts and techniques. Moreover, the technological endeavors cultivated here surpass the inventions and creations of all other galaxies, achieving a greater transcendence.
27. Tianye Star:
It is more than twice the size of the Earth's star system, with mountains and rivers, and possesses a high-tech civilization of creation and ingenuity, thus brimming with vitality. Moreover, as it lies in the celestial wilderness, its lifespan is also long. This is a healthy star system.
◎Jixing Su—Governs the Four Star Systems:
28. The Celestial Winnowing Star:
This is similar to the Earth's star system, where geology exists within the substance like water, with both water and mountains, yet it offers fewer opportunities for life, serving only the purpose of interstellar borrowing of talents. It is a system that seldom descends to influence other star systems and has only partially descended to lend talents to the Earth's star system.
29. The Heavenly Head Star:
It is similar to the planetary system of Earth, and related to its geology, with mountains and water, though it is merely a barren geological landscape; there are also a few signs of life. However, the beings inhabiting this planetary system possess relatively greater intelligence and wisdom.
30. Heavenly Hair Star:
It is a planetary system with geology similar to that of Earth, featuring mountains and rivers, and harboring life within its star system. Not only does it support life, but it also hosts a multitude of diverse organisms across its celestial expanse.
31. The Star of Heavenly Weeping:
It is a planet with geology similar to that of Earth's solar system, featuring water but no mountains, and is guarded by two satellites. In this star system, it is inhabited by a more pessimistic race for survival; yet, even so, there also exists a high-tech civilization living among them.
The above comprises 31 major and more karmically connected star systems in the Eastern Heaven, belonging to the seven constellations of "Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji." Within the Eastern Heaven star systems, there are also thousands of other star systems, each managed by its own governing authority. However, in the human world, it is relatively difficult to fully comprehend the general conditions of each individual star system.
Different Names of Planets in the Current Era
As for the naming of celestial bodies, the current practice often adopts contemporary names, which differs from the original designations. The variation in ancient star names arises precisely due to this reason across different eras. Therefore, the celestial bodies discovered today are typically named after their discoverers, though in truth, they have existed since ancient times.
The Eastern Celestial System—Achievement can be attained in the east, governed by the Wood element of the Heavenly Stems *Jia* and *Yi*, which is under the guidance of "benevolence." This provides substantial support for the functions of the body. It is precisely through these functions that accomplishments can be realized. The actions of all sentient beings and their primordial spirits are closely connected to the celestial bodies in the heavens.
It is hoped that it becomes clear that within the Ziwei star system, there are simply too many galaxies, and among them, those that have relatively little karmic connection with the Earth's star system and are less capable of being applied to the human world are precisely the reason why the Ziwei star system remains poorly understood. This distinction also lies in the expansion of knowledge through such differentiation.
The Eastern Heavenly Realm's multitude of star systems: Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji.
Each celestial body governs its own domain,  
The benevolent virtue of sentient beings draws near in due time.
Human well-being as the foundation, nurturing green trees to flourish.
Origins and causes may diverge,  
Actions and deeds bring fortune or calamity.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement, serving as a reflection in the present moment, elucidating all past concepts and names as well as the designations of the current era. Thank you all for your hard work. Tonight, we have disturbed Chongxin for further verification. Until we meet again, everyone!
##Fire Virtue Star Lord
The Limitless Decree descends from on high,  
The Virtuous Dao Celestial Ascends the platform.
All virtuous beings of kindred spirits shall gather,  
Arranged by the grace of virtue in the eastern celestial star system.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Wood Virtue Star Lord from the Great Cosmos Star System has descended to compose the twenty-third chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," offering a more comprehensive analysis of the Eastern Heaven star realms. This will allow everyone to clearly understand the functions of the various star systems, which have borne different names throughout history, in the present moment.
It is precisely through the comprehensive governance and benevolent influence of all celestial bodies that we can come to understand what the great benevolence and evolution of the universe truly are. This also allows us to gain vast knowledge and wisdom, making it all the more authentic! Thank you all for your hard work today. Due to the extensive time and space required for the analysis of this work, I kindly ask for your understanding. Farewell for now!
The Eastern Dipper of the Heavenly Realm — the seven constellations of Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions: A total of 179 star systems.
Eastern Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven lunar mansions of Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven constellations of Dipper, Ox, Maid, Emptiness, Rooftop, House, and Wall.
The Celestial Realm of the Western Dipper: The seven lunar mansions of Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen.
Southern Dipper Celestial Region: The seven lunar mansions of Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot.
## The Celestial Worthy of Boundless Blessings
The virtue of water descends, giving rise to wisdom and intellect;  
The Star Lord's writings are perfected by the vast heavens.
The stars of Dipper, Ox, Maiden, Emptiness, Rooftop, Wall, and Chamber—  
In the northern sky, their celestial forms are even more true and real.
The Great Celestial Realm of the Northern Stars
The celestial systems governed by the Ziwei constellation are precisely rooted in the Eastern Dipper, Western Dipper, Central Dipper, Southern Dipper, and Northern Dipper. They are further ruled by the Eastern Heaven, Western Heaven, Southern Heaven, and Northern Heaven. All of these are accomplished through the Ziwei constellation, which has evolved in close connection with the Earth's own celestial system.
All galaxies within the vast cosmos, all living beings and races, are interconnected and interrelated. From the perspective of the northern celestial stars, it is essential to understand that the actions taken in the human world, or those of all living beings in other galaxies, are bound by a mutually linked chain of cause and effect.
This is the framework of the righteous path, formed, relied upon, managed, and interpreted by the celestial realms of various heavenly bodies. It is directed and perfected through the seven stars—Dou, Niu, Nü, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi—governed by the Northern Celestial Sphere. Each constellation is interconnected with the actions and deeds of all human beings.
Northern Celestial Sphere - Divisions:
Dou Constellation: governs thirteen star systems. Niu Constellation: governs six star systems.
Female Star: Governs four star systems  
Void Star: Governs two star systems
Wei Constellation: governs seven star systems.  
Shi Constellation: governs six star systems.
Wall Constellations: These manage three star systems, totaling 41 celestial bodies.
◎The Dipper Constellations—are in charge of the thirteen star systems:
1. Celestial Dipper Star:
This celestial body shares a karmic connection with the Earth's star system. It is approximately twice the size of the Earth's system, featuring water and mountains, and is orbited by two satellites. Its foundation resembles a gold-like geological composition. This star system holds connections and karmic ties to all the galaxies within the great cosmos.
2. Heavenly Virtue Star:
It is a star system more than twice the size of Earth's galaxy, with geology resembling gold. It possesses water, mountains, and all forms of life thriving within it. This is a technologically advanced and civilized star system, where virtue also holds a more prominent place in its realm.
3. Sirius
It is the same size as the Earth's star system, with foundations identical to those of the Earth's star system. Where there is water and mountains, there emerge many brave and talented individuals who achieve the star system, and at present, some of them are borrowed from their respective star systems.
4. Azure Dragon Star:
It is more than twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, with a foundation similar to water. All beings in this galaxy are capable of soaring freely through the celestial galaxies, each governing their respective parts of the galaxy, serving functions of assistance and support.
5. The Vermilion Bird Star:
The geological foundation of this planet resembles quartz with a golden hue, indicating a rather advanced star system. It features both water and mountains, and is home to individuals of remarkable achievements. Within this star system, technological civilization thrives, with numerous small satellites managing their respective sectors of the galaxy.
6. The White Tiger Star:
It is a planet of the same star system as Zhuque (Vermilion Bird), though not the same galaxy, and is similar in size to Earth's star system. With water and mountains, its living conditions are quite favorable. It possesses a civilization with technology and has been aided by external guidance, while many small satellites also govern their respective parts of the star system.
7. The Black Tortoise Star:
This is a technological star system equal in size to the Earth's galaxy, featuring water and mountains, as well as a more advanced technological civilization displayed within the system. It is precisely this civilization that, akin to the Azure Dragon Star, White Tiger Star, Vermilion Bird Star, and Black Tortoise Star, has been protected by various dynasties.
Furthermore, the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise stars each preside over their respective constellations, and also govern their own sections of the galaxy along with their minor satellites.
8.  The Star of Heaven's Vault
This is a star system half the size of Earth's solar system, which has provided civil and military protection to all dynasties throughout history. With its water and mountains, its geology resembles that of a wooden star system, making it a habitable celestial body.
9.  Tianguan Star:
It is merely the size of a planetary system, containing water, mountains, and numerous sentient beings residing within that system. Moreover, because its terrain is as pure and flawless as silver, one must possess considerable blessings and noble status to endure long within this system.
10. Celestial Kitchen Star:
Therefore, dietary habits are significantly influenced by the environment: where there is water and mountains, there are abundant food ingredients related to the Great Cosmos Star System, which serve as the foundation for the culinary and dietary systems of that star system.
11. Tianhu Star:
This is a galaxy slightly more than half the size of the Milky Way, with geological foundations resembling loess. It is a galaxy containing water, mountains, and life, though its technology lags far behind that of Earth. It is a relatively young galaxy, having existed for only about three billion years.
12. Tianzuo Star:
Therefore, the constellation that aids ingenious crafts and technical skills, in relation to all constellations of invention and creation, propels the advancement of technological civilization. Although the geological composition resembles that of soil, technological civilization is achieved through creation. It shares a mutually supportive karmic relationship with the Earth's constellation, and also borrows many talents from within the Earth's constellation.
13. Tianxiang Star:
This region, with a foundation akin to quartzite, features water and mountains, and possesses two moons. It is a technologically advanced and civilized star system, relatively peaceful and benevolent towards all living beings. It is clear that those who exist within this star system are not ordinary beings who can reside there.
◎Ox Star - Overseer of the Six Star Systems:
14. Taurus Star:
This star system is half the size of Earth's, with water and mountains, and hosts a multitude of living beings. Due to its more impulsive nature, it frequently experiences both destruction and construction, and its technological civilization remains relatively underdeveloped.
15. Huang Yixing:
It is similar to the Earth's star system, possessing water, mountains, and a civilization with technology, all forms of life existing within its galaxy. It is built upon a foundation of yellow-gold quartz stone, having achieved considerable accomplishments in the realm of technological civilization. Some of these advancements have also been disseminated to various other star systems for research, invention, and the borrowing of talented individuals.
16. Tianming Star:
It is closely related to the Great Dao, with all evolving galaxies in the universe having significant connections to it. Even high-tech civilized galaxies, which frequently visit the Earth's galaxy for observation, are largely involved. Most of the karmic ties of "borrowing talents" descend to the human world from the "Heavenly Bright Star."
17. The Heaven-Crippled Star:
It is a galaxy smaller than the Earth's planetary system, with less-than-ideal geological conditions. It is still a developing galaxy, often marked by both destruction and construction, and is one that lacks technological civilization.
18. The Star Summoned by Heaven
It is a galaxy with many connections to the Earth's galaxy, one guided and manifested by technological civilization. It possesses water and mountains, yet its technology lags far behind that of the Earth's galaxy, being merely a galaxy still in the process of development.
19. Tianyang Star:
This is a smaller galaxy than the Earth's, featuring water, mountains, and three moons. Its bedrock resembles quartzite, and it has experienced rapid and extensive development in technological civilization, making it an exceptionally outstanding galaxy.
◎The Female Star Constellation—governs the four star systems:
20. Tiannü Star:
This is a star system smaller than the Milky Way, with water and mountains, yet its environment is relatively desolate, resembling the lunar landscape. Beings inhabiting this star system are comparatively underdeveloped! However, in terms of spiritual growth, they often possess the ability to "instantly transport to other realms" in a flash—it is a star system that "manifests the heart's desires."
21. Spica:
Unlike the celestial maiden star, it is also less civilized, yet its foundation resembles a watery terrain, clear and flawless. Thus, the achievements of the spirit rival and even surpass those of the celestial maiden star, precisely through "transforming other lands" or "transplanting transformations elsewhere" to construct accomplishments.
22. Heavenly Rooster Star:
At this moment, the celestial systems report that the geological foundation resembles loess-like bedrock. Each celestial system manifests the application of time and space as it truly is, which differs from the calculations of time and space made by humans. The Celestial Rooster Star is the system that emits signals to all other celestial systems.
23. The Star of Heavenly Timing
The time of all cosmic galaxies is reported and transmitted by the Celestial Time Star, whose technological civilization is remarkably advanced and sophisticated. Its celestial body is built upon a foundation of purple quartz, which is utilized for electronic transmission of information, serving the purpose of disseminating accurate cosmic time.
◎Xu Xing Su—Governs the Two Star Systems:
24. The Sky-Emptiness Star:
It is a galaxy much smaller than the Earth's star system, with mountains but no water. Its conditions for survival are similar to those of the Lunar Dawn star system, and everything is rather desolate. It is a virtualized planet, yet many within it will, in the future world, transform into civilizations to manifest themselves. It exists precisely within its star system to achieve and grow.
25. The Sky-Cleaving Star:
This star system is slightly smaller than the Earth's solar system, with a geology similar to that of the Moon, featuring water but no mountains. It possesses a satellite that serves as its guardian—a celestial body capable of guiding "transformation through relocation" and "relocation through transformation."
◎ The Perilous Star Cluster — governs the Seven Star Systems:
26. Tianwei Star:
It is interconnected with all galaxies, and when will each galaxy encounter peril or crisis? Among the Celestial Peril Stars, one can discern whether a calamity is inevitable or can be averted. It is through the Celestial Peril Stars that one learns whether to resolve the crisis or to endure the suffering inflicted upon all, revealing the distinctions therein.
27. The Star of Heavenly Peril:
This galaxy is as vast as the Earth's star system, with water but no mountains. However, its technological civilization was perfected through the Tianwei Star, and thus it is governed by the Tianxian Star. When, then, should it undergo transformation? When should it face tribulation? When should it transition? These matters can be clarified more distinctly, as its geological foundation resembles the bedrock of a wooden star system.
28. The Morning Star
Thus, each celestial system's light serves as the guiding force, while also being directed by its own inherent brightness. With geology akin to an earthen foundation, possessing water but lacking mountains, it is a relatively underdeveloped star system. Yet, it allows one to understand how various causes and conditions act as guiding lights, playing many complementary roles within the cosmic galaxy.
29. Tianming Star:
Thus, the dark night serves to fulfill, as the conditions for survival are less suitable for sentient beings. Their star system has mountains but no water, and their technology is relatively backward. However, it is profoundly connected to the function of meditation. All meditative functions arising in the universe's star systems are related to it.
30. The Morning Star
Regarding technological civilization, there exists a galaxy that has achieved remarkable advancement. Its geological conditions are less suitable for the survival of myriad living beings, yet its technological civilization far surpasses that of all other galaxies. It is a star system where transportation relies on high-speed movers, making it a planetary body thousands of times superior to the Earth's star system.
31. Tiangang Star:
Similar in size to the Earth's galaxy, it is a relatively underdeveloped galaxy. However, within the entirety of the cosmos, in the enforcement of the law of "cause and effect," it serves to mobilize the Celestial Net Star to reclaim all corrupt galaxies. It functions on a legal level, acting as a righteous guide within the fair galaxy.
32. The Star of Heavenly Constancy:
It is a galaxy that serves as the primary reference for positioning all celestial bodies and star systems, and it comprehensively applies the laws of equilibrium and orientation to establish a framework for locating galaxies across all cosmic voids and the boundless universe.
◎The Chamber Constellation—it governs the six star systems:
33. Tianshi Star:
It is of the same size as the Earth's star system, containing water and mountains, with one satellite serving as a guardian for growth and development. For all celestial star systems, when they descend their influence upon individual star systems, there will be numerous forms of support and information that can bring benefits. It is precisely a relatively civilized star system, one that mutually assists other star systems.
34. Heavenly Horse Star:
It is a galaxy as vast as our own Milky Way, though its conditions for life are less than ideal. Yet, it is one that can be traversed across the heavens—a galaxy that can be reached in the blink of an eye, soaring through the skies. This, too, is a consequence of its relatively unfavorable living conditions.
35. Tianlong Star:
It is a galaxy similar to the Heavenly Horse Star, whose function is sustained by the spirit of the dragon-horse. It is a galaxy much smaller than the Earth's galaxy, with water but no mountains, yet it is a star system abundant in water and scarce in land. This galaxy can soar thousands of miles into the sky without hindrance.
36. Tianyang Star:
It is a planet similar to Sirius and Alpha Draconis, relatively simple and more benevolent. Though lacking technological civilization, and neither radical nor innovative, it rarely experiences any conflicts—truly a peaceful star system.
37. The heavens have stars:
It is a galaxy as vast as the Earth's galaxy, with water and mountains, and countless living beings inhabiting it. It is a rich and substantial galaxy, where those who dwell within experience very little suffering, akin to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
38. The Celestial Administrator Star:
This star system, situated close to and facing the heavens, spans a billion light-years in "space" rather than "time," making it an exceptionally vast galaxy. It is not merely a superior planet, but also one with relatively advanced technological civilization. Consequently, many beings are drawn to this planet, and the karmic connections established here are both profound and extensive.
◎The Wall Star Cluster—governs three star systems:
39. Tianbi Star:
It has a mutual supportive function with the Tian Gang Star and Tian Gu Star, serving as a guiding star system that positions and leads against unfavorable constellations. It is a star system with a highly positive guiding effect, enabling all star systems to mutually fulfill and interconnect seamlessly. This causal condition allows for both spacing and regulatory functions.
40. Star of Heavenly Perdition:
Unlike the Celestial Mang Star, and because the heavens have perished and cannot regenerate, the harmful elements inflicted upon all galaxies must be eradicated before reconstruction can occur. This process takes place in the celestial realm, hence the existence of "black holes" to gather and contain them, preventing collisions and destruction among all galaxies.
41. The Falling Star:
Similarly, the "black hole" is connected by a related karma. After it is first disrupted by the Tianwang Star, it is then restored by the Tianzhui Star and incorporated into the "black hole." This serves to guide and regulate all cosmic galaxies, bringing about many positive achievements. This is the duty and mission of the Tianzhui Star.
Evolved from the celestial constellations of the northern sky
To exercise wisdom in governing the human world or other planetary worlds for growth, one must consider the dominant factors of the human body, physical form, and the functions of the five organs (with the kidneys as the core). From the perspective of the Five Constants, this is grounded in "wisdom." The Five Constants of Heaven and Earth evolve into the Five Constants of Humanity, which serve the roles of governance and leadership—this is the correct approach.
Led by the Northern Celestial Stars, it is precisely the formation of "Dou, Niu, Nü, Xu, Wei, Shi, Bi" and others that accomplishes this, mutually fulfilling all processes of evolution and creation. It is indeed as such; the myriad sentient beings of the emotional world find it difficult to comprehend: why is the Solar Star System interconnected with the Ziwei Star System?
Everyone can ponder this: the body of a sentient being is a small universe, while the entire cosmic world is a grand universe. The human body is formed precisely in accordance with this truth, emerging from the actions of attachment and survival, thus giving rise to one's own physical form. Nothing is omitted in this process, and it shares similar genetic qualities with heaven and earth, the cosmos, the void, and the infinite, serving as the substance that enables fulfillment and reception.
The Northern Dipper constellation governs order and intelligence; its stars include Dipper, Ox, Maiden, Emptiness, Rooftop, Wall, and Encampment.
All stars in the sky,  
Are aligned with you in harmony.
Without knowing the true meaning of the universe, it is difficult to clearly transcend its bounds.
Humanity relies on technology, yet this is only the beginning of its potential.
This verse! It can be studied and explored together with all inventors across the Earth's star systems. What it verifies for the future of technological civilization is precisely the boundless and limitless—all that exists is the vast universe, which is entirely guided by the Heavenly Lord. Do you believe it? Thank you all for your hard work. Today, I have disturbed Chongxin to seek verification and dissemination, and so we shall meet again!
## The Star Lord of the Sun
By decree of the Infinite, the Vast Heaven is established;  
With joy and delight, smiles grace the countenance.
The Celestial Venerable ascends the dais, gathering all beings with compassion;  
The virtue of the Northern Dipper spans boundless stars.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Water Virtue Star Lord from the Ziwei Star System has descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven," offering a more extensive exposition on the "Northern Celestial Star Realm." This will help everyone understand why even the distant celestial realms are interconnected with the Earth's star system.
It is the underlying cause of all qualities within the same gene that undergoes transformation. One may carefully contemplate this: the human body itself is akin to a generator, capable of emitting electrical waves and mental power, while also receiving cosmic energy and vitality to enrich itself. Through mutual resonance, it brings greater benefit and growth to the individual.
In the subsequent installments to be written, the timeline will be extended somewhat. Everyone is encouraged to deeply contemplate the great virtue and compassion of Heaven, which has revealed a profound mystery never before transmitted through the ages—now elucidated within the Chongxin lineage's "Dadao Series." This is a rare and profound karmic opportunity, scarcely encountered even across countless lifetimes, and thus should be cherished, pursued with diligence, and cultivated with earnest effort. Only through personal dedication can one attain it. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven lunar mansions of Dipper, Ox, Maid, Emptiness, Rooftop, House, and Wall.
Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions—comprising a total of 179 star systems
Eastern Dipper Heavenly Realm: Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji, the seven star lodges.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven constellations of Dipper, Ox, Maiden, Emptiness, Rooftop, House, and Wall.
The Western Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven lunar mansions of Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen.
Southern Dipper Heavenly Realm: Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, Chariot—the seven lunar mansions.
## Limitless Virtuous Way Celestial Worthy
Golden quality nurtures the foundation of growth,  
Virtue spreads across all galaxies of the universe.
The Star Lord descends to the vast heavens,  
From the western skies, his grace knows no bounds.
The Great Celestial Realm of the Western Heavens
The Ziwei Star System serves as a foundation, integrating the celestial realms of all forms into the human world or other planetary worlds, facilitating growth and the execution of essential duties. It must not only harmonize with sentient human beings but also provide support in daily existence, enabling greater benefits and attainments.
The existence of Metal in the West, corresponding to the heavenly stems *Geng* and *Xin*, is precisely manifested through the exercise of "righteousness." In the human body, it corresponds to the lungs. Just as the functions of the lungs in sentient beings are intrinsically connected to practical, tangible roles, this also represents the operation of the "autumn harvest." In the human world, this is reflected in the causal conditions that enable the function of "universal currency."
All governance in the Western Heaven star system is under its jurisdiction.
Thus it is: the seven constellations of Kui, Lou, Wei, Mao, Bi, Zi, and Shen serve as the unifying and guiding principles. Moreover, within each stellar system, every constellation possesses its own dominant functions and roles, all governed and administered by the Western Heaven. In fulfilling the efficacy of "righteousness," the future will inevitably see the perfection of righteousness.
The Western Heavenly Realm is precisely thus:
Kui Star Cluster: governs sixteen star systems.  
Ang Star Cluster: governs seven star systems.
Wei Constellation: governs three star systems.  
Lou Constellation: governs three star systems.
The Star of Bi governs seven constellations; the Star of Zi governs three constellations.
Observing the Star Lodges: They govern the Seven Star Systems, comprising a total of 46 star systems.
◎Kui Constellation—governs 16 star systems:
01. The Star of Heavenly Authority:
It is more than twice the size of the Earth's planetary system, featuring mountains and rivers, and is protected by a satellite. This star system possesses a highly advanced technological civilization and plays a leading role among all the star systems within the Kui constellation to which it belongs.
02. Tiangou Star:
This is a star system half the size of the Earth's galaxy. While the "Dog Star" is considered inauspicious in the human world, from the perspective of the celestial realm, it is actually a quite remarkable star system. It possesses mountains but no water, and its existence holds much to be said for the related star systems, enabling mutually beneficial interactions.
03. Cygnus:
This is a star system similar to that of Earth, with mountains and waters, where one can roam the skies. Its myriad life forms are closely related to those of Earth’s star system, and its technology is less advanced. However, in terms of spirituality, it surpasses the human world and even exceeds all other star systems.
04. Tianchuan Star:
A galaxy one-third smaller than the Earth's solar system, this star system possesses a relatively advanced technological civilization. With water and mountains, its geology resembles the tin ore found on Earth. Existing within this galaxy, it stands as a stellar system with promising prospects for future technological development.
05. Tiandang Star:
There exists a geological formation similar to quartzite, which surpasses any galaxy in terms of technological civilization. It is a star system of remarkable technological advancement, exceeding many other planets.
06. Star of Heavenly Rites
This is a star system half the size of the Earth's galaxy, existing within a larger galaxy. It is a technologically advanced civilization that places great emphasis on propriety and etiquette, guided by a strong sense of ritual and righteousness. Moreover, it is a system with well-defined norms and regulations for the future.
07. Heavenly Loyal Star:
Planetary systems similar to the Earth's, with mountains and waters, and geological formations resembling gold and silver, are where all those who remain loyal and devoted to any position or duty may reside—this is the Celestial Loyalty Star, the star system of unwavering faithfulness.
08. The Star of Heavenly Integrity:
This is a galaxy smaller than the Earth's, with water and mountains, protected by a single moon. It is less advanced than the Earth's galaxy, yet pure and free from greed, capable of achieving and appreciating the path of integrity.
09. Celestial Serpent Star:
This is a galaxy half the size of Earth's, with mountains and water, making its survival conditions relatively primitive. Due to its serpentine-like mode of existence within this galaxy, even as its internal technology gradually advanced, it remained unable to extend its influence outward.
10. The Heavenly Hare Star:
A galaxy half the size of the Earth's star system, with geology similar to that of a wooden planet, is another relatively temperate galaxy. It is associated with the nature of the rabbit, and its technology is also rather uncivilized.
11. Tian Shu Xing (Celestial Rat Star):
It is similar to the Earth's star system, with mountains and waters, and a technological civilization that is relatively advanced. However, due to its interaction with the Celestial Rat, it also differs from the human world, making it a rather desirable and promising star system.
12. The Star of Heavenly Righteousness:
It is similar to the Earth's star system, with mountains, water, and a satellite for protection. It serves the function of righteousness, being governed with great integrity, and its technological civilization also far surpasses that of many others.
13. Tianxin Star:
This is a galaxy half the size of Earth's, with mountains and rivers, protected by a satellite. It plays a very upright role in the practice of faith, and its technological civilization far surpasses that of Earth's galaxy.
14. The Star of Heavenly Shame
This is a galaxy half the size of the Earth's galaxy, with mountains but no water. It is a recently formed galaxy, having existed for nearly a billion light-years. The technology of this galaxy is relatively uncivilized, and all living beings within it are comparatively primitive.
15. The Celestial Pig Star:
This is a galaxy far smaller than the Milky Way, where all its inhabitants are beings of greater fortune. Here, survival requires no labor—merely a single thought is enough to obtain what is needed. It is a galaxy of blessed destiny and fulfillment.
16. Tianren Star:
It is a galaxy similar to the Earth's, existing with water, mountains, and geology akin to gold. In terms of technological civilization, it far surpasses that of the Earth's galaxy, and it is where "benevolence and righteousness" reside.
◎The Lou Constellation—governs three star systems:
17. Tianyun Star:
It is a star system with a highly advanced technological civilization, capable of transformation and direct integration into any object, thereby gaining control over the object and acquiring some of its functions. This star system, resembling one of stone and light, features both water and mountains. Within this galaxy, an exceptionally sophisticated technological civilization thrives.
18. Original Cloud Star:
This galaxy, akin to the Tianyun Star, is an exceptionally transcendent stellar system. Not only can a single thought manifest within all objects, but it also serves as the guiding force and ultimate refuge for all technological civilizations navigating this galaxy.
19. Gao Yunxing:
Thus, compared to the previous two, the technological civilization here is even more advanced. This is not a star system where ordinary beings can reside; only those with profound virtue and blessings are qualified to gather and inhabit this galaxy. Its technological civilization surpasses that of Earth by thousands of times.
◎Wei Constellation—Governs 3 Star Systems:
20. Celestial Sun Star:
Similar to the Gao Yunxing galaxy, there exists a galaxy with an exceptionally advanced technological civilization. Within this galaxy, talents are also dispatched to assist in the enlightenment and development of other cosmic galaxies, thereby fostering the growth and fulfillment of technological civilizations across the universe.
21. The Purple Sun Star:
This star system bears many similarities to the Earth's galaxy and is home to a technologically advanced civilization. For the Earth's galaxy, many instances of "borrowing talents" have originated from this system, serving as facilitators and catalysts for development. It also maintains significant connections with the celestial realms of the void. Presently, it shares certain karmic ties with Chongxintang as well.
22. Guanyang Star:
Similar to the Ziyang Star technological civilization, it achieved considerable accomplishments. It can be said that it was guided by civilization and unified through invention, precisely what humanity refers to as the "flying saucer" serving as a displacement device. It can be described as capable of instantly relocating to other places, representing a civilization of transmission-speed technology.
◎The Star of Ang - governs the seven star systems:
23. Gao Yaoxing:
It is comparable in size to the Earth's solar system, with a geological composition primarily of metals and minerals. It possesses a highly advanced technological civilization, renowned and radiant among the cosmic galaxies, yet remains invisible from the Earth's solar system.
24. Gao Dexing:
Thus, star systems with comparable brightness and clarity, which provide sentient beings with the conditions for cultivating virtue, are largely aligned with star systems that possess relatively advanced technological civilizations.
25. Gao Angxing:
This is a galaxy twice the size of the Earth's star system, with geology similar to that of quartzite. Its technological civilization is remarkably advanced and far more developed than that of other galaxies, representing a highly progressive and continuously ascending stellar system.
26. Plateau Star:
Therefore, a star system twice the size of Earth's planetary system, with water and mountains, protected by two satellites, and technology surpassing that of Earth by millions of years, is a place where only those with profound blessings may reside.
27. Gao Yuanxing:
This galaxy is half the size of the Earth's galaxy, a star system relatively devoid of technological civilization, yet it serves as the integrator of all cosmic karma. Moreover, the propagation and guidance of any karmic connections are transmitted and directed from this galaxy.
28. Gaoyao Star:
This is a galaxy half the size of the Earth's galaxy, serving as a support and guide for all who practice the virtues: filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. It functions precisely as the foundation for nurturing and spreading all virtuous influences throughout the galaxy.
29. Gao Yin (Ying) Xing:
The following is a transformation into a counterpart: the constellation of filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame serves as a guiding constellation. Though its technology is less advanced, it is an older constellation. Moreover, for every sentient being, all its functions and guidance are closely connected to that constellation.
◎The Bi Star Mansion—governs the 7 star systems:
30. The Net Star:
This is a star system that has a considerable karmic connection with the Earth's star system. Its technological civilization surpasses that of other star systems, if not more advanced. It is similar to what the human world describes as a star system possessing high-speed travel devices, which has indeed visited the Earth's star system, but it is definitely not what the human world refers to as—flying saucers.
31. The Heaven-Sleeping Star:
This is a galaxy much smaller than the Earth's star system, yet it holds considerable karmic connections with Earth. It is a star system with mountains and waters, though it possesses little functional capacity and harbors relatively few living beings.
32. The Celestial Use of Stars:
It is a galaxy similar to the Earth's galaxy but half its size. This effect is related to all galaxies, as it is a galaxy with a more advanced technological civilization, and thus, it is also a galaxy with relatively greater achievements in the physical realm.
33. Heavenly Land Star:
This is a galaxy half the size of the Earth's galaxy, one that contains numerous mountains and rivers. It is also a galaxy with less advanced technological civilization, where the contemplative function of the "heart" among all beings mutually fulfills the galaxy. Moreover, it is a galactic entity where all similar functions are interconnected.
34. Tianwei Star:
This is a galaxy more than twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, which is interconnected and interactive with "black holes." Moreover, all meteoroids missed by black holes are guided and perfected by Tianwei Star, thereby preventing adverse effects on the order of orbital laws. It holds a protective relationship with all galaxies.
35. Tianzuan Star:
This is a star system of considerable technological civilization, as evidenced by the luminosity of all its mineral productions. The substantial enhancement in the quality of its ores is entirely manifested through its civilization.
36. The Withered Star in the Sky:
This is a star system twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, with geology similar to that of quartzite. Its technological civilization is remarkably advanced, making it a far more civilized system compared to others.
◎The Beak Star Lodge governs three star systems:
37. The Star of Heavenly Love:
This star system is half the size of the Earth's galaxy, a realm of sentiment and righteousness, one might say a rather excellent star system. Yet it lacks mountains and rivers, while its geology possesses a density akin to diamond. Moreover, in terms of technological civilization, it can be described as a remarkably outstanding star system.
38. The Star of Heavenly Impurity:
Similar to the Celestial Debris Star, it is formed by the accumulation of meteorites of various types. The minerals found in all cosmic galaxies possess exceptionally excellent intrinsic qualities. Having endured nearly three billion years, they have accumulated the impurities of all celestial bodies, with no trace of any living organisms ever existing. The crust has already undergone more than ten tectonic shifts.
39. Tianchu Star:
This is closely connected to the Celestial Dust Star, as it handles the guidance of all meteorites and meteors. Due to the boundless vastness of the universe, which provides an immense space, it not only deals with the accumulation left behind by all "black holes" but also allows this accumulation to settle within this star system.
◎Canopus - Governs the 7 Star Systems:
40. The Star of Heaven Breaker:
For all constellations and all living beings, it exerts a fragmented influence on the functions of existence. In relation to every galaxy and all sentient life, it is connected to the annual, seasonal, monthly, and hourly disruptions—a star of calamity.
41. The Great Waster Star:
It acts upon all galaxies and living beings, delivering a substantial and swift resolution. For all adverse influences and actions on living organisms, commands are issued through the Ziwei Galaxy to the Great Exhaustion Star, enabling the direct gathering of all beings into the "black hole." All related karma is first dismantled by the Celestial Demise Star, then collected by the Celestial Descent Star, and finally drawn into the "black hole."
42. Minor Star of Consumption:
That year, both major and minor setbacks are governed by the Great Consuming Star. However, among monthly, daily, and hourly setbacks, all are managed by the Minor Consuming Star. It is precisely in this manner that misfortune strikes swiftly, serving also as a cleansing mechanism for all that is undesirable, allowing them to endure lesser hardships and obstacles.
43. Moon-Stealing Star:
It is the constellation that performs tidying actions during the night in the human world! It serves as the basis for tidying away all unfavorable things among humanity and all beings, carrying out nocturnal processing, and also functions to integrate and cleanse over the course of 28 days.
44. The Sun-Robbing Star:
Similar to the calamity stars of the month, one is responsible for the reckoning of the month, and the other for the reckoning of the day. Therefore, all misfortunes that befall humanity or other planets are caused by the destruction and implantation carried out by these two constellations, as well as by the timing of their appointed reckoning.
45. The Great Malefic Star
It is a star system interconnected with the Moon Kalpa, Sun Kalpa, and Star Kalpa, which bestows upon all living beings across every galaxy an implanted energy field that serves as the basis for gradual decline. If such an energy field is guided by the Great Malefic Star, then all galaxies and sentient beings destined for ruin bear the mark of this Great Malefic Star.
46. Minor Malevolent Stars:
For all malevolent beings and living creatures, adopting a demeanor less imposing than that of a major malefic star is precisely an act of implanting a rather substantial "aura of ill tidings." This serves both to rectify all that is unfavorable and cunningly wicked, and to bring about greater fulfillment and transformative resolution for these two stellar systems.
The function of righteousness in action
It serves as a genuine guide to the functions of the lung organ, directed through the western metal element of Gengxin. This can be described as a guidance imbued with sentiment and righteousness; otherwise, how could it achieve mutual fulfillment and reliance for all sentient beings? Moreover, the practice of "righteousness" among humanity manifests as loyalty, integrity, fidelity, and benevolence, fostering the growth and elevation of goodness.
The Lord of Righteousness comes from the Western Heaven galaxy;  
The functions of the human lung organs are extraordinary.
Clear in affection and righteousness,  
They accomplish deeds that lead back to the heavenly realm.
Observing oneself through the lens of conditioned arising,  
Descending in the human realm becomes all the more effortless.
Achievement and ruin stem from one's own foundation,  
Which can transform heaven and earth and unite the people's virtue.
This verse! It is about all sentient beings and primordial spirits mutually fulfilling one another; it depends on the role each plays, for within all star systems, both the human world and the planetary worlds are interconnected through mutual relationships and karma. Otherwise, how could the myriad beings of the vast universe be mutually fulfilled and protected? How should the wicked and malevolent be dealt with?
It is essential to understand: the workings of the celestial galaxies serve precisely as a warning to awaken all beings. One must not obscure one's own conscience in pursuit of desires, claiming that Heaven is unseen and without eyes to observe. Every single action and movement is clearly reflected in the mirror of Heaven's heart—as well as in the micro-crystals of human ICs. Today, I have delayed everyone for too long here; I apologize for troubling Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
##Tu De Xing Jun
From the west, white as metal in the Gengxin cycle,  
The Limitless bestows gold from its eternal trove.
Wealth's arrival brings joy to all;  
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform with affectionate closeness.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Let us gather together! Today, the Lord of Golden Virtue from the Ziwei Star System descends to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," elucidating and documenting the "Western Heaven Star System," so that all may clearly understand the great mysteries of the celestial realm.
Why do some people say: Heaven is unfair! They do not realize that all of their actions are reflected in the mirror of the Heavenly Heart of Shangcang, and can be seen clearly through their own IC microcrystal. This applies to all sentient beings and original spirits, including all sages, immortals, and Buddhas, whose thoughts and contemplations are deeply connected to their own.
Otherwise, there would only be the saying among mortals: "The net of Heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through." This famous teaching precisely means that in the celestial realm, all sentient beings and original spirits are under the watchful eyes of the myriad immortals and Buddhas. Can anyone commit misdeeds? No! Furthermore, the Supreme Heaven oversees and observes all the words, actions, and conduct of the immortals and Buddhas, as well as all sentient beings.
Esteemed students: Today's writing session has been somewhat longer, and I have taken up much of your time. Thank you for your hard work—it was essential to fully convey the profound mysteries of the divine plan. My apologies for occupying your precious class time. Until we meet again!
The Western Dipper Celestial Realm – the seven lunar mansions of Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions—comprising a total of 179 star systems.
## Wuji Daozhen Tianzun
Fire brings light and shelters all beings;  
Its virtue, spreading across the universe, is even more true.
The Star Lord descends to the Vast Heaven;  
In the southern celestial realm, the rites are accomplished.
The Great Celestial Realm of the Southern Starry Heavens
The Purple Star System serves as the foundation for all celestial bodies, guiding the growth of stars in the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central heavens. When the connections among these stellar systems are fully realized, all celestial stars can achieve growth and elevation. Furthermore, it offers sentient beings the opportunity to find their direction through the cultivation of the "propriety" aspect of the Five Elements.
It is through the greater fulfillment and protection provided by various celestial bodies that it becomes essential to understand: all are governed and unified by the Ziwei Star System, which establishes the universal laws of operation for all star systems across the cosmos. Following the foundational principles of the Great Dao, it integrates all orbital paths through the forces of buoyancy, traction, and balance, thereby preventing collisions among celestial bodies.
The Southern Heaven resides in the domain of fire, governed by the elements Bing and Ding. It bestows illumination and radiance upon all flames, serving as a testament to the fulfillment and achievements across the vast cosmos. This is because, within the celestial expanse of the Southern Heaven, authority is exercised over the seven constellations: Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen. Through these star systems, accomplishments are realized, clearly demonstrating that these celestial bodies form the Southern Heavenly constellations, which guide and bring about fulfillment.
The Southern Celestial Star Realm—precisely governs over:
The Well Mansion governs eight star systems. The Ghost Mansion governs four star systems.
Liu Constellation: Governs the Eight Star Systems  
Xing Constellation: Governs the Seven Star Systems
Zhang Constellation: governs six star systems  
Yi Constellation: governs twenty-one star systems
The Zhen Constellation: governs the Seven Star System, comprising a total of 61 star systems.
◎The Well Star Mansion—governs the eight star systems:
01. Tianjing Star:
It is approximately twice the size of the Earth's star system, a star system of considerable technological civilization. It features water, mountains, and geological formations akin to amber stone, all perfected by the support of highly advanced technological civilization. Due to this, many "borrowed talents" from that star system have descended into the Earth's star system.
02. Tianzhou Star:
This is a star system half the size of the Earth's galaxy, a technologically advanced civilization resembling quartzite in geological composition. It features mountains, water bodies, and a highly developed technological civilization. All celestial bodies within it serve purposes of growth and transformation, and among them are some "borrowed talents" from this star system.
03. Tianniao Star:
This celestial body is half the size of Earth's planetary system, featuring water, mountains, and a degree of civilization within its own stellar system. Moreover, as it is capable of soaring through the skies, all its technological and civilizational achievements are integrated into one grand, cohesive endeavor. It is evident that this stellar system is a planet of considerable civilization.
04. Tiancang Star:
This celestial body is four to five times larger than the Earth's galaxy, presenting as a flat star system devoid of water and mountains. It is guarded by three satellites and governed by a single celestial repository that serves as the ultimate authority. Its technological civilization is exceptionally advanced.
05. Tianku Star:
Similar to the Tiancang star, it is a celestial body with water and mountains, possessing a mineral-like mass. The civilizations inhabiting this star system are highly advanced and serve as a foundation for others. Moreover, they can extend their "borrowed talents" to all star systems, fostering mutual fulfillment.
06. The Star of Heavenly Wisdom
This is a celestial body twice the size of Earth's galaxy, endowed with abundant wisdom and benevolent virtue, which descends to nurture and perfect this galaxy. Not only does it foster numerous advanced technological civilizations, but it also sends many "borrowed talents" to descend and assist other galaxies.
07. The Tianwu Star:
It is a celestial body half the size of the Earth's galaxy—a relatively young star system, yet it already spans nearly 1.5 billion light-years in spacetime. Although its technological civilization is comparatively underdeveloped, it has proven remarkably effective in nurturing and elevating the primordial spiritual particles of sentient beings.
08. Tianci Star:
This celestial body, half again as large as the Earth's galaxy, harbors water, mountains, and a benevolent virtue imbued with compassion, righteousness, and empathy. Consequently, all species dwelling within it possess moral integrity and kindness, making it a truly benevolent galaxy.
◎Ghost Constellation—governs the four star systems:
09. The Heavenly Turning Stars:
This celestial body is half the size of the Earth's planetary system. It is a world with water, mountains, and a multitude of life forms thriving within its star system. It is a planet with a highly advanced technological civilization, surpassing Earth's technology by nearly a hundredfold in terms of development. Thus, it is a comparatively more evolved celestial body.
10. The Star of Heavenly Filial Piety
Therefore, the Earth's star system is established as a planet of accomplishment, which fulfills all sentient beings through the virtue of "filial piety" bestowed upon them. This marks the beginning of filial piety's realization, and all functions of 'filial piety' can find their foundation and belonging within this star system.
11. The Eastern Star in the Sky:
Therefore, star systems similar to the Earth's galaxy are also comparable in terms of technology. However, among all that can achieve such advancement, there exists an exceptionally outstanding planetary system. Though its name is Tiandong (Heavenly East), it is actually a celestial body located in the southern part of the eastern sky, thus relatively closer to the east. It is a star system with a more advanced technological civilization.
12. Tiangu Star:
This celestial body is half the size of the Earth's planetary system. Geologically, its mass resembles that of silver. Although it is an ancient star, its civilization has achieved a high level of technological advancement, far surpassing that of the Earth's planetary system in scientific and technological development.
◎Liu Constellation—Governs the Eight Star Systems:
13. Guanglong Star:
It is a remarkably outstanding celestial body, and the technology of that star system is highly advanced. It can be described as a celestial body akin to the Western Pure Land, thus all its celestial bodies are comparable to the heavenly realms of any religion.
14. Guangde Star:
It is a celestial body similar to Guanglong Star, and like all star systems, it is perfected by the teachings of all religions. Those who have merit may return to the star system and will also, in due time, descend to impart true virtuous teachings to all star systems.
15. Guangming Star:
Being part of the same galactic system as Earth, there exists a considerable karmic affinity that facilitates such connections. Moreover, there are relatively many who "borrow talents" to descend and transform within the Earth's galaxy. This refers to a luminous celestial body—a star system capable of emitting its own light—which achieves fulfillment through the collective efforts of all its entities in their transformative missions. From a technological perspective, it is a civilization of remarkable advancement!
16. Guangchang Star:
This galaxy is exceptionally outstanding, a stellar system of flourishing civilization and technology. Its geology resembles quartz, and the beings inhabiting it are formed from pure thought. They can instantly travel to any other galaxy, achieving mutual fulfillment.
17. Vast and Expansive Star:
Unlike Guangchang Star, within the vast expanse of the cosmos, there exist countless living beings, making it difficult to fully comprehend all evolutionary processes. These are all manifested through the technology of Guanghao Star. Humanity's ability to understand the stars is made possible and facilitated by Guanghao Star's contributions and guidance.
18. Guangtong Star:
It is a celestial body twice the size of Earth's galaxy, precisely because it possesses numerous applications. Through the synchronized emission of energy to various stellar bodies, it manifests a sublime civilization and technology within each galactic system.
19. Guangli Star:
This mutual fulfillment with the Earth's star system arises because all those who possess virtue, fortune, and wisdom exist within the "Willow Constellation." It can be said that there are many star systems which serve as cradles of technological civilization, and numerous civilizations are able to descend and manifest among the myriad galaxies.
20. Guangfu Star:
It is of a size comparable to that of the Earth's galaxy, yet it is a star system that can be described as possessing a civilization with technology far surpassing our own. In the future, many will witness the transformative influence of this galactic civilization, which, through this star system, achieves comprehensive protection and fosters mutual resonance through widespread interaction.
◎Star Constellations—are those that govern the seven star systems:
21. Heavenly Stars:
This is a star system half again as large as the Milky Way galaxy, a highly civilized stellar body. Through interconnections among various star systems, it has achieved an exceptionally vast and diverse range of scientific and technological civilizations. Moreover, it maintains mutual communication across all star systems, making it a planet of ultra-advanced technological civilization.
22. The Star of Heavenly Fraternal Love:
It is a celestial body of the same magnitude as the Earth's galaxy. For celestial bodies that observe the order of seniority, it can be said: it is a rather lovely galaxy, capable of fulfilling all the functions formed by the "principle of fraternal duty." Therefore, all living beings that inhabit this galaxy are relatively harmonious and compliant.
23. Tianhui Star:
This star system is twice the size of Earth's galaxy, featuring mountains and rivers, as well as two moons that mutually protect it. The planet's composition resembles that of rocky ore. While its technological civilization is relatively underdeveloped, survival there is a matter of mindset—a single line of thought can lead to achievement on this celestial body.
24. Heavenly Monkey Star:
It is a celestial body half the size of Earth's star system, featuring mountains and flowing waters throughout—a highly dynamic stellar system. Although its technological civilization is not particularly advanced, this is largely due to its relatively impatient nature, which frequently gives rise to numerous unimaginable difficulties that hinder its development.
25. The Sky Scatters the Stars:
It is a pristine celestial body, where numerous civilizations undergo purification through technological fulfillment, bestowing evolutionary progress upon any star system, while also achieving mutual interconnected accomplishments. Its terrain resembles that of gold and silver mineral deposits, and it is also a star system with a relatively modern civilization.
26. Celestial Crown Star:
He is the master and administrator of all sentient beings, and thus shares interconnections and karmic ties with them. Moreover, across all star systems, the decisions regarding which celestial bodies the various masters and commanders will descend upon, as well as the governance and jurisdiction they will oversee, all share the same mutual karmic bonds and accomplishments as the Tianguan Star.
27. Star of Good Affinity:
Therefore, all star systems are formed through favorable causes and conditions, representing a remarkably excellent celestial body that governs all living beings. Whether it transforms into fulfillment under virtuous causes and conditions determines its significant role in growth. In terms of technology, it is relatively less civilized.
◎Zhang Xingsu: Oversees the six star systems.
28. Star of Peril and Exhaustion:
It is a consumption of energy, shining upon all living beings in times of peril and emergency, causing them to gradually decay and weaken under its illumination. This makes it difficult for the myriad beings to recognize their own hardships and obstacles. Thus, it is a rather uncivilized celestial body, and fundamentally, it is a malevolent star.
29. The Yearly Consumption Star:
Similar to the Star of Peril and Exhaustion, it mutually bestows upon all sentient beings the same energies of decline and decay. After granting a chance for a fresh start, it enables one to recognize their own decline and decay. This is a star system that necessitates a resurgence, or else it becomes difficult to achieve success thereafter—truly an inauspicious star.
30. Moon-Consuming Star:
This is similar to the effect of the annual consumption star, because all living beings, whether in the Earth's star system or other star systems, if they are unable to change their ingrained habits, will inevitably face monthly consumption, gradually losing all they have built. It is an inauspicious star system, yet it offers the possibility of a comeback and a fresh start.
31. The Moon Virtue Star:
After the decline of the masses, allowing them to rise again from adversity, they must reorient their thinking and transform past blessings to transcend. In this galaxy, many beings among the masses are bathed in the radiance of the moon's virtue and starlight, gaining the confidence to start anew, or to achieve future success, brilliance, and energy.
32. The Virtuous Star of the Sun:
It is a remarkably outstanding constellation, where all endeavors, growth, and the energies of favorable conditions for prosperity are fulfilled and guided by the Sun-Virtue Star. This provides ample room for achievements to flourish, making it a truly auspicious star.
33. The Star of Fortune and Virtue
It is precisely this celestial body that is most sought after by the multitude of living beings. To reside there, one must possess both fortune and virtue, as the star is endowed with numerous exceptional conditions. It is not a place for those with ordinary blessings alone; only those with profound and abundant fortune and virtue may dwell in this star system—a world of remarkable technological excellence.
All operational functions of the Southern Celestial Stars
In the Southern Celestial Realm, governed by the fire element of Bing and Ding, sentient beings, through the sound functioning of the "heart's capacity," can mutually fulfill the role of "propriety." This can be applied to all living beings, establishing a foundation within the Five Constants of the Five Elements. Thus, in the human world, the practice of the Five Relationships and Five Constants can be realized.
It is precisely by taking "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness" as the foundation, and through "filial piety, fraternal duty, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame," that all virtuous influences are extended to the vast world and all the myriad star systems, enabling mutual fulfillment. This also allows sentient beings and primordial spirits to understand clearly why the Heavenly Realm has chosen to reveal the current twenty-eight lunar mansions.
In the process of perfecting all galactic entities, there exists a profound connection with all living beings within the Earth's galaxy. It can be clearly understood that the actions and deeds of each individual resonate with the universe, heaven, and earth, reflecting one another. This is verified by the virtue and grace of the heavenly heart—recorded and stored within the mirror of heaven and earth and the IC microcrystals.
The Southern Celestial Stars unfold without doubt,  
Each galactic form is thus the foundation.
Well, Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen — in the human realm, karma is observed with proper rites and rituals.
One must not be ignorant of human deeds, for the hearts of heaven and earth are mirrors of perfect cycles.
Every move is seen by Heaven;  
Thus is the vast net of Heaven's justice woven.
This verse! Through the mutual fulfillment of sentient beings and original spirits in the exposition of this work, a heavenly secret and auspicious affinity are verified. Today, we have disturbed Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
The Southern Dipper Celestial Realm – the seven constellations of Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Net, Wings, and Chariot.
## Lunar Star Lord (Goddess)
Daily blessings abound in the realm of the Infinite,  
As the Celestial Venerable ascends the platform for all to cultivate together.
Wealth and fortune depend on virtue and merit,  
Gratitude to the heavens for bestowing this blessing.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Fire Virtue Star Lord from the Ziwei Star System descended to compose the twenty-sixth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," elucidating and verifying the first half of the Southern Heavenly Star Realm. This reveals how the actions of all living beings across the great cosmos are interconnected and bound by cause and effect.
One can comprehend that the countless celestial bodies in the heavens are inextricably linked to one's own actions, which can never be erased. Hence, the saying "As humans act, Heaven watches" validates the ancient adage "The net of Heaven is vast; though its meshes are wide, nothing slips through." This is not a matter of Heaven being blind—such a notion is a mistaken deviation. It is hoped that all beings may understand this principle, thereby mutually supporting and fulfilling one another in the grand scheme of existence.
Everyone, rise up! Come and receive your blessings as well! Settle down for two minutes, without thought or reflection, with a focused mind! The celestial beings and Buddhas will bestow their blessings! Disciples, you may open your eyes. If you feel a stream of energy flowing from the crown of your head through your entire body, there is no need to speak of it! This is the celestial beings and Buddhas granting you increased fortune, auspicious opportunities, confidence, and prosperity. Cherish it yourselves!
Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions—comprising a total of 179 star systems.
Eastern Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven constellations of Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven constellations of Dipper, Ox, Maiden, Emptiness, Rooftop, House, and Wall.
The Western Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven star lodges of Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen.
Southern Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven lunar mansions of Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot.
##Wuji Mande Xiangu
The Solar Deity descends to grace us,
Amidst joyous cheers of celebration, we welcome with delight.
Twenty-seventh Cycle of the Great Dao and Vast Heaven,  
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions Draw Near to the Path.
Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions: The Celestial Realm of the Southern Sky
The Ziwei Star System achieves its accomplishments by aligning with the celestial realms of the east, west, south, and north. It serves as a guiding force for the myriad beings of the universe, bestowing both action and virtue. Furthermore, it is governed and administered by the heavenly administrative units of Haotian. Thus, the growth and alignment of all Ziwei stars are precisely integrated with all celestial beings and the myriad life forms across the cosmos.
Furthermore, the myriad beings across various galactic systems rely on their actions and movements, which are precisely the conditions that enable all celestial bodies within the vast cosmos (across interstellar realms) to ascend. Through the integration of inherent causes and opportunities, a unified process of transformation unfolds. It becomes comprehensible that, across diverse planetary bodies, this dynamic addresses the varied existences of all living beings.
Duties Under the Jurisdiction of the Southern Celestial Star Region
Therefore, the seven constellations of "Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Spread, Wings, and Chariot" serve as the foundation. Through the integrated operation of each of these constellations—Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Spread, Wings, and Chariot—and guided by the principle of "propriety" associated with the southern direction and the element of fire (represented by the heavenly stems *bing* and *ding*), all actions aligned with the Five Constant Virtues are provided for the myriad beings of the vast universe to practice.
All must be able to practice the norms of "ritual" etiquette, for only with such reliance and integration can there be proper guidance and unity. Furthermore, under such conditions, one should observe the actions and behaviors of all sentient beings to evaluate their deeds.
Continuing from the previous chapter—The Second of the Southern Celestial Stars:
Yi Constellation: governs twenty-one star systems.  
Zhen Constellation: governs seven star systems.
A total of 28 galaxies, all under the jurisdiction of the southern celestial sphere: totaling 61 galaxies.
◎Yi Constellation — governs twenty-one star systems:
34. Tianyi Star:
It is a space five times larger than the Earth's galaxy, with geology akin to a massive mineral-like substance. Life exists there with water, mountains, and a highly advanced civilization of remarkable technology. This is not a galactic entity that ordinary understanding can comprehend—it is the central star governed by the Wing Constellation.
35. The Heavenly Physician Star:
This is a star system twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, which is indeed a celestial body with highly advanced technological civilization. For all sentient beings across the myriad star systems, when encountering any calamities or diseases, it is essential to have the Tianyi star system to accurately diagnose and cure ailments, as it is also responsible for healing the illnesses of all living creatures in the universe.
36. The Vast Heaven Star:
It is five times larger than the Earth's galaxy, a substantial physical galaxy in itself, inhabited by myriad advanced technological civilizations and countless living beings. This planet is remarkably advanced in technology and is capable of mutually supporting and complementing all celestial bodies within the cosmic realm.
37. The Heavenly High Star:
It is a celestial body ten times larger than the Earth's galaxy, and a planet that is currently beyond the visual perception of humanity on Earth. This is a highly advanced and civilized planet, whose geological composition is akin to that of gold in quality. Moreover, it is a planet that has achieved remarkable accomplishments in the realm of technology.
38. Tiangou Star:
This star system is twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, featuring numerous small flowing streams and a terrain resembling mercury. Life here adapts accordingly, much like the entities in Earth's science fiction films—capable of extending and retracting at will. It is precisely the celestial body that once visited the Earth's galaxy for observation.
39. Tianxing Star:
This is a celestial body over ten times larger than the Earth's planetary system, composed of geological matter akin to gold. Its geology and species possess a mercury-like flexibility, capable of infinite expansion or compression into minute forms. Its technology is exceptionally advanced and sophisticated, continuously evolving and transcending to higher levels.
40. Star of Heavenly Joy:
It is a celestial body much smaller than the Earth's star system, with mountains and waters, a rather joyous star. Moreover, it is a celestial body that, in satisfying all living beings with its own heart, can provide them with a place of belonging and action. Its geology exists like mercury, flexible and capable of expansion and contraction, yet compared to the previous two star systems, it is more backward and inferior.
41. Heaven Star:
This galaxy, over thirty times larger than the Earth's galaxy, is indeed a remarkably superior star system. There are also many physical galaxies where one can obtain existence simply by moving a thought—precisely what the human world refers to as the structure of heaven. Moreover, its galactic technology is highly advanced, giving rise to a very sophisticated civilization.
42. Kingdom of Heaven Star:
This is a celestial body over a hundred times larger than the Earth's galaxy, surpassing even the Heavenly Star, and is indeed a star of the Kingdom of Heaven, possessing numerous technological civilizations. Whether in thought or in the actual celestial form, all can manifest in the present moment. It is also highly advanced in technological civilization, making it an exceptionally transcendent star.
43. Tianliu Star:
It is a celestial body half the size of Earth's planetary system, with geology resembling wood, featuring water, mountains, and a multitude of living beings. It exists as a vessel for traversing the cosmos and is also a highly accomplished star system, one where technological civilization has advanced to an extraordinary degree.
44. The Star of Celestial Craftsmanship
This is a galaxy far larger than the Milky Way, distinguished by its exceptional achievements in engineering and technology. With highly advanced science and technology, it serves as a model for the evolution of cosmic civilization as a whole. In terms of technological prowess, it can be described as both impressive and transcendent.
45. Heavenly Regulations Star:
It is a celestial body half the size of Earth's planetary system, with geology resembling land composed of gold-like mass. Within its system, all principles are clear and exceedingly upright; every living being that depends on it for survival is orderly and never transgresses.
46. The Heavenly Song Star:
This is a star system connected to music, often descending profound musical talents and renowned singers to the Earth's star system. It is a beloved star system cherished by all, and some of its beings have currently descended into the human world.
Within its star system, there exist many obstacles that can delight the hearts of all living beings, transforming the resulting grievances and dissatisfactions. Furthermore, the so-called "music of heavenly harmony" is all bestowed by this star system, and many such beings are currently descending to be born.
47. The Star of Heavenly Joy
In the vast expanse of all galaxies, there exists a galaxy of joyful music, where countless talents are nurtured to serve the entire cosmos. This celestial body is dedicated to the creation and dissemination of music, and it is also a galaxy where the art of healing is highly advanced—a galaxy renowned for its powerful "self-luminous energy."
48. Tianqu Star:
It is a celestial body that has never descended to the planetary system of Earth, yet it shares mutual karmic connections with many star systems, serving as a relatively advanced galaxy. It is rarely heard of in the human world, and its star system is rich in creativity and innovation, with a culture and civilization that are notably advanced.
49. Tianze Star:
This star system is several times larger than the Earth's galaxy and is quite advanced. Many of the transformative actions applicable to all star systems are mutually accomplished through this particular system. Moreover, once commands are issued from the Ziwei star system, they enable all systems to achieve upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
50. Suipo Star:
This is a relatively inauspicious star system, which brings deficiencies in the annual cycle to all galaxies lacking in righteous principles and benevolence, as well as to all living beings. Therefore, the annual deficiencies are addressed precisely where they fall short. Moreover, the shortcomings observed in the human world on Earth over the past 20 years or more are precisely the result of this star system's destructive influence.
51. Moonhook Star:
It is a celestial body half the size of the Earth's star system, and it performs a protective action toward the Yuechen star system. It also corresponds reciprocally with the Yuechen star system, being precisely a star within the Ziwei star system, which is among all the star systems that receive influence from Yuechen.
52. Sunlight Star:
It is a celestial body that shines with the same radiance as the solar system, yet does not belong to it. Like the sun and stars, it illuminates the Ziwei star system, completing its brilliance, while also sharing a mutual glow with the solar system's luminous bodies.
53. Gao Guangxing:
It is because the Solar System and the Ziwei Star System complement each other. However, instead of complementing the Earth's star system, they mutually illuminate the entire Ziwei Star System, supplementing the deficiencies and functions of the Solar System.
54. Moonbeam Star:
It faces the Sunlight Star from afar, while also supporting the entire Purple Subtlety galaxy system, which comprises over 3.7 million star systems. There exists a mutual assistance and interdependence among them, making it a celestial body that shines in harmony with the Sunlight star system.
◎Zhen Constellation—governs the seven-star system:
55. Tianzhen Star:
It shares similarities with the material composition of the Earth's planetary system, yet it possesses a different mass. Though it has mountains, it lacks abundant water, making it a relatively desolate celestial body. Nevertheless, it has developed a relatively advanced technological civilization, which has been achieved by adapting to its overall conditions.
56. Tiancheng Star:
This is a star system twice the size of the Earth's galaxy, an exceptionally outstanding celestial body, home to a highly advanced technological civilization, and an exceedingly ancient planet that has already existed for nearly a hundred billion years.
57. Heavenly Bodies and Stars:
It is a celestial body much smaller than the Earth's star system, yet its technological civilization far surpasses that of any other star system. For all star systems, in the process of recording civilizations, it is a planet of cosmic phenomena. Some of its achievements have been disseminated to other star systems, while a few have also been borrowed by the Earth's star system.
58. The Star of Celestial Sharpness:
This civilization is far more advanced than that of the Earth's star system, resembling the quality of metal and stone in its geological composition. It shares numerous mutual connections and affinities with the Earth's star system, making it a highly technologically advanced and sophisticated civilization.
59. Tianli Star:
Furthermore, there are star systems with even greater achievements than the Earth's solar system, representing civilizations with advanced science and technology. These are star systems capable of "transforming other worlds or relocating and adapting elsewhere." Many of them possess what humans refer to as UFOs, which have visited the Earth's solar system before.
60. Tian Chang Star:
It is far more advanced than the civilizations of the Earth's galaxy. This galaxy was pioneered by a high-tech civilization, and its geological composition resembles the quality of a vermilion gemstone. The entire galaxy emits its own light, appearing as a fiery, spherical celestial body.
61. Tiansi Star:
A celestial body of similar size to the Earth's star system, yet relatively backward in technological civilization, possesses the ability to "transform other places or be transformed elsewhere." With a single thought, one can enter its realm, making it a star system of considerable illusory and transformative civilization.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions Analyzed by the Vast Heaven
The descent of the twenty-eight lunar mansions has now been fully completed. Among them, many are star systems that have never been publicly revealed in this era, due to karmic connections. Therefore, what human scientists can comprehend remains only a part. To glimpse the entirety of the cosmos, the current state of human technological civilization is still insufficient.
Furthermore, regarding the verifiable aspects of future technological civilization, it is necessary to reach the foundational stage only in the future spacetime. As for the optical computing used in the human world, it remains insufficient for all light-years of time. Greater efforts are required to thoroughly comprehend the vastness of the entire universe, thereby enabling a clear understanding that aligns precisely with reality!
We hope to achieve a true and clear understanding of the operation of the great Dao of the entire universe. Moreover, we star lords are all willing to lend a helping hand to compassionate scientists, enabling all living beings to verify that the universe is boundless and vast, immense and expansive. Through the growth and elevation of wisdom, this will surely be realized in the future.
The twenty-eight constellations are clearly elucidated,  
Suitable in all directions—east, west, south, and north.
The celestial expanse grows ever more vast,  
The world of sentient beings finds it hard to grasp its workings.
The Great Dao, authored by Haotian,  
Expounds the celestial secrets of the cosmic realm.
The starry cosmos is truly vast and boundless, and the realm of the Purple Star is by no means small.
This verse! Together with all sentient beings and primordial spirits, we mutually fulfill one another. In the holistic framework of thought and perception, all constructs can ultimately lead to a unified or complete understanding, which must be realized through human creation and discovery. It is hoped that we may swiftly come to understand, for the sake of all living beings, that the Earth and its star system are by no means a permanent dwelling place. We have slightly disturbed Chongxin, yet we cannot linger for long. We are grateful for your celebration of our birthday today and for taking the time to descend upon the Chongxin lineage amidst your busy schedules. Thank you all, and farewell!
##Void Ascendant - Namo Ancient Buddha of the Void, Ascendant Virtue, Benefactor of Humans and Devas
The decree of the Wuji descends today,  
Celebrating the return to the order of the Heavenly Principle.
The heavens achieve even greater merit;  
On the first day of the Plum Moon, they return to the celestial vessel.
Good evening to all the sages, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Solar Deity has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven"—an analysis of the twenty-eight lunar mansions. This chapter supplements an unfinished segment concerning the southern celestial constellations, which can be said to be a testament to the boundless grace and virtue bestowed by the heavens, truly vast and profound.
It lies in this: having already elucidated the twenty-eight constellations across the eastern, western, southern, and northern skies, future works will continue to explore the celestial stars of the central heavens, encompassing an even broader expanse of cosmic constellations. This endeavor cannot be completed within a single volume such as *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*; such celestial connections, forged by karmic causes, will in the future be faithfully manifested within the thoughts and perceptions of sentient beings, allowing for mutual fulfillment. Farewell, everyone!
Southern Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven constellations of Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot.
Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions—comprising a total of 179 star systems.
Eastern Dipper Heavenly Realm: the seven constellations of Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji.
The Northern Dipper Celestial Realm: The seven constellations of Dipper, Ox, Maid, Emptiness, Rooftop, House, and Wall.
The Western Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven constellations of Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, and Shen.
Southern Dipper Celestial Realm: the seven constellations of Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, and Zhen.
##Immortal Maiden of Boundless Goodness and Perfection
The land nurtures all living beings,  
Its virtue pervades the starry systems, bestowing boundless grace.
The Star Lord descended to bestow the Celestial Scroll,  
Guiding faith through the constellations of the Mid-Heavens.
The Celestial Realm of the Midheaven Starry Expanse
The Purple Tenuity constellation system is governed by the Celestial Sovereign, who presides over and administers the celestial realms of the east, west, south, north, and center. To understand what the integration and bestowal of virtue upon these celestial realms entail, one must look to the growth and alignment of each stellar system. This is invariably commanded by the Celestial Sovereign's administration, which disseminates its influence among the various celestial realms and interstellar domains.
For sentient beings and original spirits, to achieve the practical implementation of the Five Constant Virtues—benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness—it is essential to understand that within the celestial realm of Zhongtian, it is the element of earth that serves as the foundation. Regarding the Five Constant Virtues, it is the function of "faithfulness" that plays the central role, and by adhering to the true principles of "faithfulness," sentient beings can be guided toward fulfillment.
Responsibilities of the Celestial Realms
It is precisely the management and transformation of numerous constellations that are executed through the Central Earth of Wu-Ji. In observing the vast celestial realm, this represents an exceptionally important heavenly domain, comparable to the stellar systems of the East, West, South, and North. Moreover, the practical actions carried out by the twenty-eight constellations must complement and mutually reinforce the functions of the Central Celestial Star System.
From the perspective of the greater cosmos, Earth's star system, or the myriad star systems of the universe, the manifestations of each celestial body are not limited to human beings alone within Earth's star system. Moreover, throughout the vast cosmos and its planetary bodies, within other star systems, there truly exist a multitude of diverse living beings among all things.
There will be actions of mutual integration, and they exist on that celestial body in a complementary manner. Moreover, within the entire universe, for this galaxy, most are influenced by the same DNA—the same fundamental essence and relatively similar genes—extending to all planetary bodies.
The authority and jurisdiction governed by the celestial constellations.
It is precisely under the governance of the thirty-six star systems, where each entity offers numerous testimonies. Regarding the survival and transformation of all living beings in the myriad realms, these are also managed by the celestial star systems. Under the guidance of the Mother of the Big Dipper in the central celestial star system, sentient beings and primordial spirits can gain clarity, allowing them to observe their original destinies with utmost clarity.
It is precisely due to the many karmic connections with the Doumu Palace and the Primordial Goddess Doumu that all living beings across the heavens are governed through the Celestial Star of the Central Heaven constellation, which oversees the descent of primordial light and radiance. In other words, how does this descent of the original spirits of sentient beings into all realms of the heavens manifest?
It can be said that just as there are numerous stars within the Celestial Stellar Palace of Doumu, there exist interconnected karmic bonds. Moreover, within the "Doumu Palace," one can observe all sentient beings to discern whether they are currently experiencing a time of prosperity, decline, or ordinary fortune. All of these can be clearly perceived through the Yuan Chen Palace and the Yuan Ling Palace.
There is no need to descend to the Earth's planetary system at all—everything can be observed directly and with perfect clarity. How is the current fortune unfolding? It can all be seen at a glance! One can also thoroughly understand the conditions of the present circumstances and the state of the current fortune. Thus, the entire process of the rise and fall of all fortunes becomes clear.
The Palace of Doumu is the abode where the primordial spirits reside.
It is precisely by taking the Zhongtian Star System as the foundation for growth and transformation that the sentient primordial spirits are governed. For every primordial spirit descending into any planet, all are managed and overseen by the Doumu Palace. Can it be discerned whether the existence of all living beings in each entity, at any given moment, lies in a state of prosperity, decline, or ordinary fortune?
By passing through the Doumu Palace, one can clearly understand the principal causes and conditions! Furthermore, the memorials submitted by the various celestial realms of the heavens, once reviewed, must be directly transmitted by the Haotian to the Ziwei Star System. Then, based on the actions and conduct of each entity, it is determined whether they align with the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues, and from which unified source they derive their guidance.
After the reports from each celestial body under the Ziwei Star System are submitted, they are forwarded to the Doumu Palace to add the basis for blessings, wealth, prosperity, merit, and fortune... If there are those who have accumulated virtuous deeds, the Doumu Palace will bestow these additions, infusing them with abundant blessings and positive energy, which are directly incorporated into the Yuan Chen Lantern of the Doumu Palace.
What each individual can attain is precisely a gradual flourishing and prosperity... However, if one commits sins, evil deeds, or engages in treacherous and criminal acts—all forms of cunning and miserliness—the actions and conduct of each individual will, through the Doumu Palace, accumulate negative energy and influence. This will lead, whether in the future or the present, to a gradual decline and decay. What then?
It will destroy family fortunes, ruin one's health, reputation, and wealth... causing the separation of spouses and children, and inevitably leading to the loss of all land and property. All these tasks are accomplished by the Doumu Palace, which channels negative energies to amplify such effects. Soon after, numerous unforeseen disasters will occur, and no matter how great one's wealth may be, it will quickly vanish.
The Dominant Role of the Zhongtian Star System
It is the guiding force behind all aspects of the vast celestial realm: the father's kindness and the son's filial piety, the virtuous wife and noble children, prosperous families, harmony, and fulfillment. All these are governed and anchored by the various star systems of the Central Heaven. It also observes all human beings and living creatures, assessing whether their actions within each star system align with the benevolent virtues bestowed by the vast celestial realm.
If we consider the Earth's star system, it is necessary to have the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" to govern and rely upon. It can be said that under the unified energy descending from all the stars in the Central Heaven star system, these are precisely the conditions. From the perspective of humanity inhabiting the Earth's star system, the human world is merely a tiny star system of the Heavenly Dao!
It can be said that it is indeed quite minute and subtle, yet it can connect and communicate with all galaxies in the vast universe. Within the energy bodies that radiate and receive self-generated energy, it achieves mutual fulfillment, providing sentient beings with significant growth and elevation, and thus should bring benefit to the human world.
The Central Heaven is the pivot of all celestial realms.
This refers to the administrative and governing institutions, which are compared to the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions, yet far exceed them by more than ten million times. Regarding the descent and operation of all celestial bodies within the Central Heaven star systems, it is precisely what is spoken of in the human world as merely one "Jambudvīpa." There are still many heavenly realms, belonging to the Thirty-Three Heavens and the Thirty-Six Heavens, which are categorized and governed under them.
It is to achieve unified governance over the celestial realm, and such unified administration must align with: the Three Bonds, the Five Constants, the Four Virtues, and the Eight Virtues. Through these principles, all descending influences can be integrated and unified in the actions and conduct of all beings and myriad creatures. Thus, they may be implemented and disseminated through the celestial stars of the central heavens.
To comprehend the virtues and validation that connect directly to the heavenly realm of Zhongtian, one must have the growth and actions to verify and understand. The ways to achieve thoroughness and clarity are indeed numerous. If we were to compile a "Dadao Series" of celestial texts based on the world of Zhongtian's interstellar realm, even focusing solely on Zhongtian's interstellar aspects would be an endless task, and it could never be fully or completely elucidated.
It is essential to understand that the celestial realm of the Central Heaven is vast and boundless, let alone other star systems and constellations. As for whether the true nourishment for transcendence and return, provided by the Supreme Heaven for all sentient beings, is abundant or not—it is for each sentient being to gather and attain by themselves. Only in this way can one correctly achieve fulfillment.
The celestial expanse unfolds without bounds,  
Where starlight measures causes beyond all grounds.
Abundant provisions are fully endowed,  
Gathered and obtained in plentiful abundance.
If not for the compassion of Heaven bestowed,  
How could sentient souls understand each other so deeply?
Step by step, leaving a footprint with each stride,  
Fulfilling duties and missions one by one.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement. Today, we elucidate the celestial stars and constellations of the Central Heaven, which serves as a testament to the teachings descended from the "Doumu Palace." These teachings are interconnected and bound by karma with all living beings across the vast universe. It is essential for all sentient beings to comprehend and penetrate their profound meanings! Thus, we have troubled the Chongxin lineage once more. Farewell!
##Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The Supreme Wuji Decree is bestowed upon the hall,  
The Dao is true, the truth is true, the Mandate of Heaven is granted.
The Heavenly Venerable, through the interplay of causes and conditions, unites with sentient beings,  
Achieving their return to the realm of heavenly principle.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Virtuous Star Lord of Earth has descended to compose this text. Within the celestial expanse of the Great Cosmos lies the Central Heaven Star Realm, which allows us to clearly understand that among the stars of the Central Heaven Star Realm, there exists a "Doumu Palace" precisely related to the karmic connections and earthly manifestations of all sentient beings.
Under such conditions, sentient beings and primordial spirits are able to clearly discern the actions and deeds of each individual. All are overseen and evaluated by the Heavens, and the causes and conditions for each being’s achievements are bestowed accordingly. It is essential for every being to reflect on their own conduct—how they may become masters of themselves, rather than slaves to themselves! With that, we conclude for today. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
##The Immortal Maiden Who Transmits the Way of the Limitless
The Lunar Moon shines upon the universe,  
As star lords gather, all beings find solace in their embrace.
The Goddess descends from the vast heavens,  
Bestowing virtue upon the world beneath the central sky.
The Great Firmament of the Central Heaven
The Ziwei Star System serves as the central authority, providing a foundation for all celestial realms to rely upon and practice accordingly. Thus, it is essential to have a Haotian administrative unit to oversee and govern the dissemination of celestial decrees. This further verifies that the functions and influences upon the interstellar realms, star systems, and constellations across the vast cosmos can be observed: all such operations are manifestations of the benevolent governance and grace of Haotian's supreme rule.
Granting all sentient beings across the galaxies a unified foundation for the governance of the vast world is the truest nature, further enabling the enlightenment of all living beings. The duties overseen by the Central Celestial Star Realm involve the administration of thirty-six galaxies, providing them with the moral foundations of filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame.
Furthermore, the principles of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues are implemented across the vast universe. These serve as the foundation for the actions, deeds, and conduct of all beings in every celestial body and star system. All of these are disseminated through the celestial realm of the Central Heaven, embodying the benevolent virtues that sustain existence. They are deeply interconnected with all aspects of human life and activity in the world.
◎ The Central Celestial Star System governs 36 star systems:
01. The Star of Fatherly Kindness
Therefore, the great cosmos, in relation to the Earth's star system and all other star systems, relies on the descending actions of a Father of Benevolence.

14. Star of Accumulated Blessings:
This is a star system that achieves the welfare of all sentient beings and original spirits. It arises from the accumulation of blessings within the heart, and thus, from the stirrings of the heart, everything emerges: the star system of blessed connections, prosperity, destiny, and fields of merit. Though its technology is less advanced, it is a star system capable of "transforming other lands or being transformed elsewhere."
15. Tiangong Star:
This is a galaxy of comparable size to the Earth's galaxy, similar to the Earth's galaxy in that it has water and mountains. It follows all functions to obtain a sustaining galaxy, and its technological civilization surpasses that of the Earth's galaxy by thousands of times.

Moreover, the civilization and technology it harbors contribute to the Tianxing interstellar realm, achieving a well-organized structure, thus giving rise to governing celestial bodies.
21. Diligence Star:
It is a rather advanced star system, where all its celestial bodies are diligent and industrious. Originally a barren star system, it has been transformed into one with a highly developed technological civilization. Known for its diligent research and development, it holds promising prospects for future technological advancement. Even within the Earth's star system, there are instances of "borrowing talents" from this system to contribute to progress.
22. Evolutionary Star:
This is a galaxy interconnected with the Diligent Star, with each celestial body evolving independently. It contributes to the advancement of civilization at a rate thousands of times greater than that of the Diligent Star. It resembles a geological formation akin to quartzite, and the entire galaxy is a "self-luminous" stellar system.
23. Rénxiáng Star:
It is an evolving star system, endowed with benevolence and kindness. While the system is relatively less civilized, it has made significant evolutionary progress through "migrating to other lands and transforming other lands." Its geology resembles the loess geology of Earth's star system in terms of energy utilization, yet differs in the quality of its loess. It is a star system composed of a malleable liquid substance.
24. Illuminating Star:
It is a galaxy with considerable intrinsic energy and luminosity, where numerous civilizations have descended into all galaxies. The Earth's galaxy also has a portion that "borrows talents," and the energy of this galaxy is perfected, making it a galaxy of civilizational evolution.
25. The Star of Longevity:
It is a rather benevolent star system, where technology is not highly advanced, yet it is blessed with enduring virtue and happiness due to its inherent goodness. This star system resembles a land of gold, serving as an attachment to its own celestial body.
26. Kuder Star:
It is a less civilized celestial body, yet it harbors infinite and boundless treasures, much like a galaxy rich in gemstone deposits similar to those of Earth. Only those with virtue may reside in this star system.
27. Star of Meritorious Deeds:
This is a star system where civilization is not highly advanced and technology lags behind, yet only those who have achieved merit and virtue may reside within it. It relies on a geological energy akin to quartz and silver, and though not civilized, it is a remarkably benevolent star system.

Similar to the star system of Zaogongxing, but with a civilization far surpassing it and a highly advanced technology, this star system operates to bestow virtue and grace upon all living beings residing within it.
29. Yingman Star:
It is a self-luminous galaxy, which serves as a source of radiant energy for all beings that inhabit it. This energy, akin to that of angels, is transparent and flawless—a galaxy self-sufficient in its own power.
30. Yingguang Star:
Similar to Yingmanxing, it is capable of free flight and movement at will. It is also a technologically less advanced civilization, yet it can move objects effortlessly—simply by a thought, objects can be relocated or materialized as envisioned in the mind. In terms of transformation, it is a remarkably advanced star system.
31. The Celestial Dynasty Star:
This is the first star system under the jurisdiction of the Haotian Administrative Unit within the Zhongtian star region. It is a star system aligned directly toward the Zhongtian Celestial Palace, guarded by five satellites that mutually protect the Haotian Administrative Unit. Therefore, it is a star system with advanced civil and military technology, possessing significant evolutionary development, and serves as the primary protective layer for the Haotian Administration.
32. Uranus:
The celestial star of the Heavenly Dynasty is encircled within the star system of the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, protected by a self-sustaining energy akin to gold, with twelve satellites guarding its surroundings. Thus, the civilization of the Heavenly Dynasty is highly advanced in both culture and technology, serving as the second layer of the star system that safeguards the administration of the Vast Heaven.
33. Tianheng Star:
It is precisely with the Heavenly Golden Palace that there exists a surrounding protective star system, guarded by twenty-four satellites. Moreover, the evolution of civil and military technology is exceptionally advanced. It can be clearly understood that, in relation to the Heavenly Golden Palace, there is a star system that shoulders a portion of the responsibility and mission, serving as the third-tier protective star system for the administration of the Heavenly Palace.
34. Dali Star:
Thus, a galaxy that emits light through its own energy, with a geological foundation akin to the quality of golden quartz, is a galaxy of civilizational evolution and one of considerable achievement. It shares a special karmic connection with all galaxies in the vast celestial realm and, in relation to the cosmic galaxies, resides precisely at the edge of the Firmament.
35. The Star of Achievement
This is a star system that mutually shelters and completes the Zhongtian star system. In terms of technological civilization, it is exceptionally advanced, being a self-luminous celestial body. It is also a star system that, relative to all others, plays a role in "borrowing strength," providing substantial assistance to all technological systems within the Zhongtian star system.
36. The Construction Star:
This is a civilization of a galaxy whose craftsmanship and technology are quite advanced, having achieved the feat of "borrowing talents" from the Great Cosmos Galaxy. In the current era, it has contributed to the evolution of civilization in fields such as ergonomics, mechanics, literature, science, medicine, metaphysics, and more. Only through such comprehensive development and accomplishments can it become the source that "borrows talents" from all galaxies.
All celestial realms within the Zhongtian star system are under jurisdiction.
The Central Heaven Star System governs all thirty-six star systems, yet only those with greater karmic connections to sentient beings are elaborated upon in this work. Those with lesser affinities need not be redundantly included. To attempt a complete documentation of the Central Heaven Star System would likely require more than a single series of books, rendering such an endeavor impossible.
This revelation and elucidation is directed towards the various galactic systems, particularly those with deeper karmic connections to the Earth's galactic system. For those with lesser karmic ties, we shall await future opportunities for mutual fulfillment. It is hoped that all sentient beings may clearly understand that every action taken in the human world is never beyond the omniscient oversight of the Divine. Do not presume that the heavens are high and without eyes or ears.
It is precisely the mirror of the cosmos—reflected through the action of IC microcrystals—that records and details every human deed annually within one's own energy body. This record then determines the allocation of blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, honor, and auspiciousness, or conversely, poverty, ruin, hardship, depletion, and exhaustion. All this becomes clear at a glance, demonstrating that the heavens have eyes and ears: though vast and distant, nothing escapes their truthful and unfailing nature!
The cosmic expanse of the central heavens is vast beyond measure,  
With thirty-six star systems adorning its foundation.
To discern the actions of humanity, not a hair's breadth off from the divine mechanism of heavenly virtue.
All sentient beings are born of selfish intent,  
Yet the virtuous grace of Heaven aligns with them in covenant.
One step, one footprint; each step firmly grounded, relying on oneself.
This verse! It is through mutual encouragement and fulfillment among all sentient beings and original spirits, and through establishing a foundation based on the virtuous grace that pervades the great cosmic star systems, that we can truly uplift and perfect one another. By fostering growth, elevation, and transcendence upward, we shall cultivate good and wholesome causes and conditions. Thank you all for your hard work, and for gracing the Chongxin lineage with your presence. It has been a joy to reunite with many old friends. Farewell for now!
##Nanping Daoshi Ancient Buddha
The decree of the Infinite Heaven has been established,  
With full virtue and sincere heart, blessings and affection are bestowed.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the stage to meet the virtuous student,  
Celebrating the return journey to the Realm of Principle.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Lunar Star Sovereign (Goddess) has descended to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," elucidating and analyzing the world of the Central Heaven. This allows everyone to clearly understand that every single action in the human world is inevitably influenced and reflected by the "Mirror of Heaven and Earth's Heart."
Thus, whatever humanity seeks to accomplish, there is a Heaven above, as well as the pre-existing IC microchip within each individual, overseeing and evaluating all. This cannot be achieved through deceit or hypocrisy! It is utterly truthful—step by step, leaving a clear imprint—serving as the basis for each person's self-fulfillment. Heaven merely follows what humans do and act upon, using it as the foundation for future judgment.
◎ For the outstanding spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy who have returned to the Heavenly Principle to assume positions and advance further, Vice Chairwoman Ma Xiangu of our lineage will lead them back to the Heavenly Principle tomorrow at noon for further intensive study. Devoted benefactors in the mortal world are welcome to come and respectfully bid them farewell. Such individuals are capable of fulfilling and relying on all karmic connections. It is hoped that everyone will cherish this opportunity dearly!
##Limitless Principle Dharma Immortal Maiden
Life's reality and illusion form the root cause;  
Emptiness aids the world with virtuous compassion.
The virtuous above and the virtuous below can cultivate virtue;  
Human words speak of traversing the vast cosmos among the stars.
The Universe and Interstellar Space of the Great Cosmos
The Ziwei star system serves as the unifying foundation for all star systems, acting under the command of the Great Cosmos Haotian to implement decrees and bestow virtues upon all star systems. This is the action of unifying and aligning the interstellar realms of the Great Cosmos, and it is also supported by the celestial realms of the East, West, South, North, and Center.
It is precisely because there exists a process of verification and dissemination that it is necessary to clearly understand and comprehend: all sacred duties and responsibilities are carried out by the Great Cosmos and the Vast Heaven. All dependent actions also encompass all the myriad star systems, including: the Solar Star System, the South Pole Star System, the North Pole Star System, the Milky Way Star System, the Wuji Star System (the Daluotian Star System), and the Void Star System.
This work serves as the foundation for the integration of all star systems, fulfilling its purpose by extending its influence to the east, west, south, north, and center. From the perspective of the celestial realms, it ensures that all sentient beings, in every action and undertaking, are overseen and evaluated by the heavens. Not a single deed shall ever be overlooked or erased!
All cosmic star systems within the Great Celestial Realm
Regardless of the galaxy or celestial realm, all are illuminated and verified by the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" of the great cosmos. In every action required and relied upon, it is essential to fulfill the growth and elevation of all sentient beings and original spirits. This is the compassion of the vast heaven's great virtue and grace, as well as the virtue and compassion of the Wuji. All are bestowed upon the human world.
Moreover, the compassion of the divine Buddhas who possess sentience is a great virtue and grace. This can be observed in the present era, as it manifests in every time, space, and environment. Otherwise, how could sentient beings and original spirit seeds achieve transcendence in a single lifetime? Or must they remain for future lifetimes to transcend and return? It is uncertain whether such opportunities will still exist then.
It can be said that there is one absolute truth, verified through all manifestations below: it is uncertain whether sentient beings, the original spirit children, can achieve transcendence and elevation within a single lifetime! This necessarily requires considerable firmness of will and perseverance, as well as the ability to overcome and dissolve all difficulties and obstacles, in order to attain growth and ascension.
The Cosmic Realm of the Great Universe
It encompasses all sages, immortals, deities, Buddhas, and high-level bodhisattvas... all are included within. Moreover, without distinction, it embraces all sentient beings among the vast multitudes, including all creatures born from womb, egg, moisture, or transformation... all sentient primordial spirits. It further includes all mountain and water spirits, as well as all sentient ghosts and specters, along with all sentient primordial spirits of the asuras.
Moreover, it encompasses all sentient beings and primordial spirits currently dwelling deep within the obscure realms. Furthermore, it includes all galaxies, star systems, constellations, and every living being across all things. Only then can it be said that within the entire grand universe's process of evolution, the great virtue and grace of evolution are precisely demonstrated through the evolution of all galaxies in the vast cosmos!
Moreover, for all realms of heaven, the human world, and the underworld that come to observe, all are capable of transcending, without overlooking any single sentient being. Under such conditions, by synthesizing all aspects, how should each individual nation transcend and return? Only then can the descending influence of the entire cosmic evolution be clearly understood.
It is to grant everyone the opportunity, to enable all to achieve success, and to allow all to transcend, that truly embodies the impartial and righteous virtue bestowed by Heaven upon the world. Moreover, such conditions of affinity precisely represent a culmination of all evolutions in the present era, intended to fulfill the well-being and benefit of all sentient beings, offering humanity the chance to grow in goodness.
Every single galaxy in the celestial realm of the stars
From the perspective of the Great Cosmos, all systems—whether in the east, west, south, north, or center—including the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, the Wuji system (the Great Luo Heaven system), the void systems, and what is referred to today as the vast universe, are indeed boundless, immeasurable, and expansive interstellar realms. All can ascend, transcend, and return.
Only then can we, in this present era, guide the sentient beings and original spirits within the Earth's star system to return to their primordial roots, thereby elevating the resources and sustenance of the great cosmic world! Otherwise, how in this age can there truly be a process that manifests the virtuous grace of Heaven?
All demands can be elevated to a greater vehicle, which also aligns with the present era, serving as the fundamental cause and provision for advancing to a higher vehicle. By reaching a state of thorough self-understanding, one will surely discern: it is precisely through one's own shortcomings and deficiencies that errors must be rectified and compensated for, thereby achieving genuine upward growth and transcendence.
The Vast Celestial Realm Beyond the Heavens and Stars
It is based on the transcendence offered by the Maitreya Pure Land as a foundation, yet also focuses on how to surpass and elevate beyond this transcendence in the present moment. This can be achieved by relying on a broader and richer foundation of resources, not only enabling all original spiritual beings to have more abundant opportunities for elevation but also aligning with the expression and expansion of both collective and individual energies.
This is an elucidation bestowed by the responsibilities of Heaven, clarifying how to achieve the promotion of "consciousness-only concepts" through the "consciousness-only theory." Only then can one incorporate one's own actions and conduct into the realm of "consciousness-only," thereby unifying one's deeds with "consciousness-only conduct" to attain personal elevation and transcendence.
Regardless of any environment or any time and space, there exists a heavenly-bestowed opportunity to ride across and return. Moreover, for all living beings across various stellar systems to reach the base of returning to the origin, it is essential that after the return, one must be able to clearly understand the actions of the vast interstellar systems and constellations, as well as how each stellar system and constellation can grow.
The Fulfilling Function of the Great Cosmos
This marks the beginning of learning and a reinforcement of experiential wisdom. Not only can one achieve personal growth through learning, accumulating abundant resources, but it also prevents one from sinking into the cycles of the earthly realm. Instead, it enables greater self-fulfillment and elevates and transcends all sentient beings.
The original intention of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven" is to advance the scientific and technological civilization of the cosmic star systems to greater fulfillment. However, the current scientific understanding of the Earth's star system is still in its infancy, making any attempt to comprehend the entirety of the cosmic interstellar realm far too superficial. Even so, we can still learn, create, invent, and promote progress by "taking one step at a time, leaving a solid footprint with each stride."
This also aligns with the concept of a planetary body, where all opportunities and causes for transformation are anticipated to be validated by contemporary scientists within the realm of technological civilization. By integrating numerous verifiable elements and promoting extraterrestrial technological advancements, we can ultimately create a foundation for the welfare and homecoming of all sentient primordial spirits within the Earth's star system.
Do not say: what cannot be verified in the present moment should be rejected. It is precisely through the verification of all civilizations beyond our world that we are given the means to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the future. This is a creation born of technological civilization, one that integrates and complements the vast galactic systems, thereby bestowing blessings upon all sentient beings within the realm of Earth.
Technological civilization relies on verification,  
The vast cosmos is a realm of truth.
Planetary System Scientists  
Mutually Expand Space Cities
Reduce many troubles and disturbances,  
Strengthen the principles to meet the eternal challenge.
A century of human ties and fate,  
Seeking a leap across ten thousand years.
This verse! By engaging with contemporary scientists for mutual enhancement, and by fostering greater integration and tolerance of diverse thoughts and concepts, we can reduce many unnecessary troubles and obstacles. This will accelerate the advancement of technological civilization, bringing blessings to all living beings and the heavens alike. It will benefit sentient beings, allowing goodness to grow, ascend, and transcend.
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
Returning to the Realm of Limitless Principle,  
The Virtuous Circle ascends to the platform to meet the worthy students.
The Immortal Maiden rejoices in the virtue of Heaven above,  
With a reverent heart, she receives the proof bestowed by divine providence.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Dao Haotian Lord has dispatched the immortal Buddhas, and the rightful presiding master of our lineage, the Supreme Being of the Void, has descended to compose the thirtieth chapter of *The Great Dao Haotian*. This chapter further elaborates and elevates the concept of the "Great Cosmic Star Realm," aiming to clarify how the great virtue and grace of the Heavenly Realm manifest.
It is precisely because there are abundant blessings and virtues bestowed upon the human world that we can say: greater gains can be achieved in the present era through the "borrowing of talents" to elevate and innovate the process of cultivating these virtues. Moreover, the fundamental approach lies in education—to teach and enlighten the myriad beings across the vast world through educational courses, which is the true essence of it all.
It also fulfills the duties and missions required by Heaven. Today, the Vice Chairman has returned to our sect, bringing back the cultivators who have returned to the Institute of Heavenly Principles to advance their practice in the realm of principles. This will allow for better arrangements to elevate the opportunities for higher-level teachings, and also enable the compassionate salvation of sentient deceased beings, helping them transcend and grow.
This is the great virtue and grace of the Primordial Mother of the Wuji, bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage as a means of transcendence. It is granted to provide a teaching institution for the "ancestral spirits of departed loved ones" in the human realm to attain higher levels. One must deeply comprehend the virtue and grace of the Primordial Mother of the Wuji, along with her expectations and demands for the Chongxin lineage. By bestowing this upon the Chongxin lineage, greater opportunities for fulfillment and karmic connections will emerge in the future.
## The Celestial Worthy Who Descended to the Dao in the Southern Heaven
The Southern Sea stands as a shield, protecting all living beings;  
The ancient Buddha descends, with the vast heavens as witness.
The Dadao Series Exhibition Promotes Virtue,
Fostering Benevolence in the Western Star System.
All Changes and Actions of the Western Star System
The Ziwei Star System is used to elucidate and disseminate all works in the vast universe that are connected to the Earth's star system. It is precisely based on the foundational structure of the Ziwei Star System. How, then, can one understand the entirety of the cosmic star systems and celestial realms, as well as their surroundings? Such cosmic mysteries are exceedingly vast, yet they can be verified by future technology.
If humanity wishes to attain understanding, it may do so through the solar system, the Antarctic system, the Arctic system, the Milky Way galaxy, the Wuji system (the Daluotian system), the cosmic void system (the Great Universe system), the Brocade system, the Polo system... By providing an exposition and written work on these, the sentient world may gain clarity and comprehension.
Regarding the entire cosmos and its star systems, all that can transcend and achieve the process of karma integration is within the Brocade Star System and the Paramita Star System. It is through the Western Star Systems that this achievement and integration are accomplished. It can be clearly understood that the Western Star Systems, specifically the "Paramita Star System and the Brocade Star System," possess mutual karmic achievements and functions.
The Distinctive Interpretations of Western Astrology
Grant sentient beings and original spirits the ability to comprehend the entire cosmos, including knowledge of the overall star systems, constellations, and interstellar phenomena. Among these, the Brocade Galaxy and the Bolo Galaxy are distinguished: it is through the integration and fulfillment of these two galaxies that the Bolo Galaxy can clearly understand the celestial functions of the "equator and ecliptic," as there are still many other galactic entities involved.
The equator can be clearly defined, allowing for the integration of Western theories on cosmic galaxies, thereby providing sentient beings with clarity: within the Polaris galaxy, distinctions are made regarding the Western twelve zodiac constellations, enabling the vast world to achieve fulfillment through the causes and conditions of each entity. How do the sentient world's Western twelve zodiac constellations differ from the Eastern twelve galaxies?
This is the function of mutual fulfillment through causes and conditions, which can be clarified as follows: the twelve-year star systems of the Eastern Land and the twelve-month constellations of the Western world mutually assist all sentient beings and original spirits in carrying out all actions and functions. Through the descent and transformation of the twelve Western constellations to sentient beings and original spirits, there is no deviation from the integration of the Eastern Land and the Western world.
The Functions of Different Star Systems in the Western and Eastern Worlds
It can be said that among the twelve zodiac signs, they serve to bring about fulfillment and protection. Through the distinct inclinations of each sign, they clarify the actions and influences upon sentient beings, revealing how they mutually assist one another and compensate for each other's shortcomings. It is essential to pass through the twelve signs, allowing them to intermingle and function in mutual support.
The Twelve Eastern Star Systems are distinguished as the celestial rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig—each corresponding to one of the twelve-year cycles.
The twelve Western zodiac signs are distinguished as the constellations of the twelve months: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius.
Within the myriad celestial systems, there must exist interconnected causes and conditions, which are established through the achievements of each entity in the twelve constellations of the Eastern Land and the Western World! What can be clearly understood is that, distinguishing between the Eastern Land and the Western World, the twelve constellations complement and mutually accomplish the original spirits of sentient beings. This is precisely the functional efficacy arranged by the Supreme Heaven.
There is a distinction between the polar and equatorial regions.
To the planetary systems of Earth, whether they be of the Eastern or Western traditions, both can serve as complementary and interdependent entities of karma. Not only do they rival the twelve constellations of the Western zodiac, but they also surpass the twelve-year cycle of the Eastern celestial system in their fulfillment. It is through the "Boluo Planetary System" that this fulfillment and dissemination are achieved, offering humanity a role that transcends distinctions between Eastern and Western influences.
In contemplating this framework of thought, one can achieve greater clarity and mutual support by comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the "Western Twelve Zodiac Signs" and the "Eastern Twelve-Year Astral System." This comparison aids in addressing the errors, deficiencies, and shortcomings in the spiritual origins of sentient beings, thereby facilitating the evolution and elevation inherent in these twelve constellations.
Furthermore, according to the "Equator and Ecliptic" of the Supreme Heaven, these two can serve as the causal basis for achieving transcendence in the celestial realm, without distinction between the Eastern lands and the Western world. Based on Western theories, the "Polaris System" is employed to validate Western technological civilization, thereby establishing a fundamental framework for its advancement.
From various star realms of the Eastern Land, they have come to mutually assist the civilization and technology of the present era, to bring about completion and achievement. If they can mutually aid the scientists of this age in their creations, they will be able to advocate for technological civilization. Moreover, through mutual assistance in the construction of technological civilization, they will surely attain understanding and thorough insight. Thus, there will be mutual support for the advancement of technological civilization.
The Difference Between the Weaving Maid Star System and the Ecliptic
For scientists in the contemporary era to create and invent, it is essential to recognize that the terminology applied in Eastern technology differs from that used in the West. This understanding can reduce the time spent on unnecessary exploratory processes, thereby accelerating the advancement of technological civilization and opening up greater opportunities for its benefits.
However, if one can fully comprehend that all existing orientations, despite their different names, actually share the same function in terms of stellar systems, and under such conditions—both exceptionally favorable and highly practical—it will inevitably reduce the time, space, and environmental costs associated with the current era's exploration of technological civilization, thereby enabling rapid advancement.
As a future technological civilization, it can enhance research and innovation, mutually supporting Eastern and Western cultures. Although the names differ, the functions bestowed by Heaven are the same. Otherwise, there would inevitably be numerous discrepancies and incompatibilities between the terms "Eastern" and "Western."
It is essential to clarify that while Chinese culture and Western culture complement each other, the civilization represented by Western culture in the contemporary era is more advanced compared to that of Chinese culture. However, in the overall process of research and creation, there remain numerous bottlenecks and obstacles that are difficult to break through.
The Polaris System and the Brocade Galaxy
If one can comprehend the ancient culture and civilization of China, and also thoroughly understand Western civilization and culture, it will be possible to apply these insights to both China's ancient culture and all aspects of Western civilization, allowing them to complement each other. This will further reduce many unnecessary troubles and difficulties, thereby shortening the time needed for the creation, promotion, and dissemination of future technological advancements.
If you doubt it! Everyone can verify that within the next thirty years, the ancient civilization and culture of the Central Plains will inevitably surpass Western civilization and culture. This is because the mutual support between the Central Plains and the West in enhancing future technological innovations will largely stem from the ancient culture of "Chinese Huaxia."
This causal condition, through the ancient culture of the Central Plains and Huaxia, verifies that the entire vast universe is a manifestation of the same DNA in terms of causal interactions. It thereby clearly demonstrates that all civilizations within the Earth's star system can be authentically applied to achieve transcendence and elevation, ultimately benefiting the well-being and ultimate refuge of humanity and all sentient beings.
Western constellations form the celestial foundation,  
Yet the Chinese star systems are even more fitting.
The two blend and merge with each other,  
Revealing the heavenly design across the West and the Middle Kingdom.
Sentient technology creates reliance,  
Ancient culture finds mutual affinity.
Scientific endeavors are employed in research and development,  
For the benefit of self and others, the great path is anticipated.
This verse! It is shared as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits; regarding the "Polaris Star Realm and the Weaving Star Realm," both are understood through the "equator as clear evidence" and can be thoroughly comprehended via the "ecliptic as a thoroughfare," revealing how vast and boundless the great cosmic universe truly is.
## Emperor of Water, Official of the Lower Prime
The decree of Wuji is truly sublime,  
Spreading the Dao, dispelling doubts, and urging self-cultivation.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the platform, destined to meet with affection;  
It signifies the virtuous intent of the immortals and buddhas fulfilled.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the main author of "The Great Dao of Haotian," the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter. This chapter provides a more detailed analysis of Western astrology, allowing everyone to clearly understand the mutual correspondence between "the twelve Western zodiac constellations and the twelve-year celestial system of the Eastern lands."
It is precisely the complementary and synergistic role of future technological civilization, along with its integration, that is essential for elevating the current era and guiding the research and development efforts of scientists. It is therefore necessary to understand that although the names used in the "Eastern Star Systems and Western Constellations" differ, their fundamental functions are, in fact, the same.
The reason is that in the West, the names of the discoverers are used to refer to the various discoveries they made, while in the Eastern world, the names derived from the "ancient star systems" and those used in the present era are integrated and applied. This approach will bring genuine benefits to all beings in the future technological civilization, offering great virtues and practical efficacy.
The constellations of the Western twelve months and the twelve-year celestial systems of the Eastern world—one may first understand these through contemporary books. Though their names differ, their functions are the same.
The twelve constellations of the Eastern Realm are distinguished by the annual cycle: the Celestial Rat, Celestial Ox, Celestial Tiger, Celestial Rabbit, Celestial Dragon, Celestial Snake, Celestial Horse, Celestial Goat, Celestial Monkey, Celestial Rooster, Celestial Dog, and Celestial Pig, forming the twelve-year celestial cycle.
The twelve Western zodiac signs are distinguished by their corresponding months: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, each representing one of the twelve months.
## The Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation of the Southern Heaven
Nanping opens a realm of sentient beings; Daoji enlightens the masses, enhancing virtue and longevity.
The Ancient Buddha descended to bestow the Scroll of the Vast Heaven,  
The twelve constellations unfold their vast expanse.
The Functions of the Twelve Zodiac Signs
Observing from the perspective of the twelve Western zodiac constellations and the twelve Eastern celestial systems, they indeed play complementary roles. This is because the twelve Eastern celestial systems are based on the "year as a unit," while the twelve Western zodiac constellations are based on the "month as a unit." Both serve to assist humanity in conducting statistical analyses.
It is essential to clarify: how the Western twelve zodiac signs, which correspond to the twelve-year celestial system of the Eastern world, can be integrated with the influence of the twenty-eight lunar mansions on each year, month, and day. This integration operates within the processes of accumulating blessings and incurring misfortunes, specifically affecting the entire global sphere and all sentient beings, determining their fortunes, misfortunes, prosperity, and decline.
It is certain that one can understand the complementary roles of the Western twelve zodiac constellations and the Eastern twelve-year astrological system. This knowledge enables the myriad original spirits of the sentient Earth's star system to clearly grasp how the two interact, thereby facilitating growth and transcendence.
Western Zodiac Signs for the Twelve Months
Based on the Gregorian (solar) calendar, it occurs on the following dates each month:
01. Capricorn December 21–January 20  
02. Aquarius January 21–February 20
03. Pisces February 21–March 20  
04. Aries March 21–April 20
05. Taurus 04/21~05/20　　06. Gemini 05/21~06/20
07. Cancer 06/21~07/20　　08. Leo 07/21~08/20
09. Virgo 08/21~09/20　　10. Libra 09/21~10/20
11. Scorpio October 21–November 20  
12. Sagittarius November 21–December 20
The astrological influences generated by various celestial bodies correspond to the distinct differences in the constellations of the Central Land. These can be understood through the differential effects observed in both Western and Eastern astrological systems: they determine in which year, month, and day auspicious blessings are relied upon for support, and in which year, month, and day the consequences of misfortune are endured. It is by these conditions that one may find guidance.
Because of the twelve constellations, for the vast multitude of living beings in the great cosmos, it is possible to clearly discern each human being. Therein lies the dual function of both blessings and misfortunes, as well as the karmic causes from past lives. Moreover, based on one's present actions and conduct, it serves as the criterion for judgment, precisely distinguishing the differences in all blessings and misfortunes, and differentiating the quality of human existence as favorable or adverse.
Otherwise, how could it be that at every juncture, it is the will of Heaven that takes the lead! It also thoroughly enables the sentient beings of "the West and the Eastern Land" to mutually fulfill one another, ensuring that in the future of the Eastern Land, there will be numerous opportunities to exercise the virtues of fulfillment and care alongside the Western world.
Both the Western world and the Eastern lands work together to fulfill and perfect all humanity and living beings.
Moreover, it can be clearly understood that the 21st century, precisely for a descendant of the Yellow Emperor in the Central Land, is a world that promotes high-tech civilization. This world is achieved through mutual support and accomplishment with the Western world, and can serve as a foundation for mutual achievement. The twelve zodiac signs of the West are comparable to the twelve-year celestial system of the Eastern Land, each complementing the other. Indeed, the Eastern Land’s celestial system is composed of the twelve-year celestial system, which forms its foundation.
01. Zi – Celestial Rat　　02. Chou – Celestial Ox　　03. Yin – Celestial Tiger
04. Mao – Heavenly Rabbit　　05. Chen – Heavenly Dragon　　06. Si – Heavenly Snake
07. Wu – Heavenly Horse  
08. Wei – Heavenly Goat  
09. Shen – Heavenly Monkey
10. You – Heavenly Rooster  
11. Xu – Heavenly Dog  
12. Hai – Heavenly Pig
It can be understood clearly from the equator, perfected through the celestial realm of the ecliptic, and realized via the Eastern Land: each of the twenty-eight constellations is interconnected, and they mutually fulfill the requirements of the Purple Forbidden Star. This is precisely the result of the interaction between the twelve zodiac signs of the West and the twelve-year star system of the East.
It is precisely through: each year, each month, and each day, that we arrive at the present moment. By observing the actions and all behaviors of sentient beings and their original spirits, we can discern the basis for the future bestowal of: blessings, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and nobility, or the endurance of: calamity, disaster, premature death, poverty, and lowliness. Thus, we can clearly understand how our present actions and deeds shape what is to come.
The Functions and Effects of the Heart-Mirror of Heaven and Earth
Each possesses a "Heavenly Heart Mirror" as the unifying foundation, and also a "Earthly Heart Mirror" that brings fulfillment. It is essential to clearly understand the heart mirrors of both heaven and earth, for those who rely on them as the primary basis for fulfillment will, in the human world, achieve the construction of their inner reliance. This means that within their own thoughts and consciousness, they are guided and provided with the principal direction.
If not, the actions of kind-hearted individuals and those with good karma, if they receive no retribution or support, would mean they are not reflected in the mirror of heaven and earth’s conscience. It is precisely observed by the Divine: regardless of any nation, without distinction between the Eastern lands and the Western world, all are mutually fulfilled by the nations of the West. This is the earthly realm inhabited by humanity.
The Mirror of the Heavenly Heart and the Mirror of the Earthly Heart have one counterpart in the human world: the Mirror of Conscience, which is upheld by the Mirror of the Human Heart. It is precisely through the Mirror of Conscience that all religious sects and lineages are endowed. Yet, those who can truly act as the bearers of the Mirror of Conscience—the executors of the IC microcrystalline body—are exceedingly few! Hence, it is often thought: the Mirror of Conscience cannot be seen or touched, so how can it be realized?
However, it is little known that facing the mirror of conscience is precisely the foundation of education and culture. When the mirror of conscience (the human heart mirror—IC microcrystal) manifests itself beside sentient beings, can everyone clearly discern whether it has truly appeared? Not so! In fact, facing the mirror of the human heart (the mirror of conscience) is itself an educational and cultural curriculum, a function of the great virtue and grace that endures through all ages.
The mirror of the human (good) conscience appears by one's side.
It is clear that those who appear in the Mirror of Conscience are a considerable group of benevolent sentient beings, who expand through education and culture. It can be said: this is true in the present, will be true in the future, and was even more so in the past. It is precisely within the Mirror of Conscience that the primary cause for elevating the original spirits of sentient beings can be found.
The twelve Western zodiac constellations are each composed of numerous star systems, which differs from the twelve star systems of the Eastern tradition. Within these Western zodiac constellations, each is governed and overseen by distinct star systems, particularly in that every constellation corresponds to various star systems of different sizes.
Moreover, for the myriad original souls, they only know their constellations, yet remain unaware of how the various celestial bodies within the star systems function. It is clear that this leads to numerous insurmountable challenges in understanding the grand cosmic world and the Earth's star system. Sentient original souls are bound to believe that the Earth's star system, where humanity resides, is a place fit for dwelling throughout endless ages.
In past cosmic cycles, there have also been instances of borrowing generals.
However, it is little known that there are many who come from the vast expanse of the cosmic space, as part of the karmic connections of "borrowing generals" from various galactic systems. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, it is not only that nearly hundreds of billions of primordial spirit beings have been borrowed to carry out their missions. In each era, the purpose of "borrowing generals" is solely to guide and ferry them back to their original return.
Moreover, for others, clarity remains elusive, as it resides within the human "eighth consciousness." If the impurities of thought cannot be dissolved, they will forever remain confined to the Earth's star system. Some have even grown numb and indifferent, believing they live in great comfort within this earthly realm. How, then, can they achieve transcendence and return?
It is an unforeseeable matter! As for other worlds and realms, clear evidence can be found in the Buddhist scriptures or any other religion—the celestial worlds they describe are formed precisely in this way. Yet, can humanity truly comprehend this? No! In truth, when human beings live in too much comfort, they repeatedly sink into the mundane world.
The Role of the Twelve Western Zodiac Signs
The Western zodiac, in its delineation of nations and the world, fails to comprehend and verify the myriad beings within the Earth's star system. Moreover, the current technological civilization of Earth's star system is incapable of fully penetrating or thoroughly understanding it. As for the internal workings of the Western zodiac's constellations and the mysteries of their collective operations—how could these be easily discerned? They are profoundly difficult to distinguish!
Within just the twelve constellations of the Western zodiac, there are over 1,200 galaxies. How can humanity come to understand each one, let alone grasp their respective influences? It is exceedingly difficult! If we were to expound on each of these over 1,200 galaxies in the twelve Western constellations, I ask you all: would anyone be able to remember them in detail and clearly comprehend their individual effects? Very few indeed!
It can only be clearly understood that the various functions of existence are relatively relevant to humanity within the Earth's star system. Thus, to elaborate on the vast universe as a whole and its descent into manifestation would become an endless work of writing and recording. Under such conditions, it is appropriate to integrate and plan for star systems that are relatively close and connected to the human world.
Recorded within the computers of the human world, this karmic connection can be used to explore the boundless and limitless expanse of the entire universe. Everyone can clearly understand how the karmic connections among the various star systems of the entire universe are formed and facilitated. In truth, given the current state of technological civilization, it is exceedingly difficult—indeed, quite challenging—to comprehend the full mysteries of the universe.
Twelve celestial bodies in the Central Land system,  
Twelve constellations in the Western starry sky.
The two intertwine in their use,  
Throughout each year, each month, and every day.
Clarify the functions of each type of celestial vehicle—all are for the accomplishment of sentient beings.
All actions and deeds can be verified,  
Heaven's heart, Earth's heart, and conscience uphold them.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; among the Western twelve zodiac constellations and celestial bodies, many are closely connected to the original spirits of sentient beings. Similarly, in the Eastern twelve-year star system, as well as the daily star constellations—specifically the twenty-eight mansions—they are also intimately related to all sentient beings and original spirits.
From this, it becomes clear that the virtuous grace of the Vast Heaven is both all-encompassing and profoundly vast. That is to say, it cares for all sentient beings and primordial spirits, enabling them to mutually fulfill one another—this is the true nature of reality! Aha! Observing the momentum of such causes and conditions, this old monk today chooses to linger within the Chongxin lineage and not return. Let us all share this auspicious connection together! Farewell for now!

The Immortal Maiden ascends the platform to meet the virtuous student, together they discuss the great path of the Lord of the Vast Heaven.
Good evening to all the sacred Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji has descended to compose the thirty-second chapter of "The Great Dao Haotian," offering a comprehensive exposition of the Western "Twelve Zodiac Signs." By clarifying the functions of each zodiac sign, it aims to establish guidelines for the mutual fulfillment and transformation among all sentient beings and their primordial spirits.
For sentient beings and primordial spirits, opportunities and affinities for elevation must be provided. Otherwise, how could they comprehend the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven? How could they appreciate the nurturing embrace of heaven and earth, or the benevolent teachings of sages and buddhas? How could they recognize the universal blessings bestowed by the sun and moon, let alone the descending grace radiated by the stars? Truly, it would be most difficult!
It is precisely an extraordinary cause and condition spanning millennia that has facilitated the creation of all works within the Chongxin lineage, which will unveil the "Creator of Cosmic Life." Do you not realize that humanity merely exists within the Earth's star system, or that in the next life, one may simply sink back into the cycle of reincarnation? Can you comprehend the profound mysteries within? Reflect upon it yourself!
There will be many constructs of one's own thoughts, aimed at achieving the transcendence one rides upon—both in the present moment and in future growth and elevation—all arising from one's own contemplation. In truth, the human world possesses growth and transcendence, yet it lies in the actions taken in the present, which shape the distinction between future blessings and misfortunes. Everyone must remember this well. Farewell!
## The Heavenly Venerable Who Spreads the Teachings in the Southern Heavens
Homage to the opening of the cosmic stars and planets, may the heart dharma of Dipankara descend.
The ancient Buddha authored the "Haotian Volume," arranging the twelve constellations of the Western heavens.
The Functions of the Twelve Western Zodiac Signs
In the twelve-year celestial cycle of the East and the twelve-month zodiac constellations of the West, each possesses its own unique marvels and mysteries. One system is calculated in terms of "years," while the other is based on "months." When extending these frameworks to encompass all related conditions, objectives, as well as their respective efficacies and functions, their applications diverge significantly.
The twelve Western zodiac signs are primarily structured around the Roman constellations of the "Polaris system." This framework allows for a clear understanding of the role of each constellation in Western astrology, comparable to the practical functions of Chinese star systems, celestial bodies, and constellations. It serves to enhance the efficacy of individual achievements by reflecting the actions and deeds of all primordial spirits.
The twelve Western zodiac signs are respectively:
01. Capricorn 12/21~01/20　　02. Aquarius 01/21~02/20
03. Pisces 02/21~03/20　　04. Aries 03/21~04/20
05. Taurus 04/21~05/20　　06. Gemini 05/21~06/20
07. Cancer 06/21~07/20　　08. Leo 07/21~08/20
09. Virgo 08/21~09/20　　10. Libra 09/21~10/20
11. Scorpio October 21–November 20  
12. Sagittarius November 21–December 20
It can be further subdivided. Among the star systems of various constellations, if viewed from the perspective of the human world and the constellations visible to it, it is impossible to comprehend their full number. It must be clearly understood that there are still many peripheral star systems that manifest. If observed from the vast celestial sphere: it is not only that, but each constellation also has numerous different star systems that serve as complements and manifestations. Only then can a more profound understanding of each constellation be developed.
◎ Classification of the Twelve Western Zodiac Signs:
01. Capricorn:
Therefore, the guiding principle led by the "Capricorn Palace" is precisely the entire constellation composed of 89 galaxies. It is a celestial body capable of manifesting magical conditions, possessing numerous abilities in both sorcery and spiritual communication. It is also a constellation that brings both destruction and construction to the world and humanity. As for humanity, how can there be construction without destruction? It is Capricorn that fulfills all these guiding principles.
02. Aquarius:
This is a highly capable and prosperous constellation, composed of 88 galaxies in its entirety, under the full authority of the "Aquarius Palace." In terms of wealth symbolism, it embodies the essence of immense riches, with numerous treasure troves and antique collectors. It can be seen that the collectors commonly referred to in the world today all originate and evolve from this influence, mutually achieving success among humanity.
03. Pisces:
Thus, the 78 star systems of the Pisces constellation form a collective of all celestial bodies, governed by the "House of Pisces" in directing all matters of wealth, prosperity, and material abundance. This ensures that those who possess surplus are adequately provided for. Consequently, those with surplus must also be endowed with virtue to fully attain blessings. Only after receiving such blessings can one truly possess surplus and extend it further.
It is precisely the galaxy that is fully endowed with abundance, formed by the union of various entities in the present era, and also existing fully within Western civilization—a galaxy of attainment and surplus. To possess both attainment and surplus stems from the accumulation of virtuous deeds and karmic causes in the past, allowing one to enjoy the blessings of this life bestowed upon humanity. Moreover, this endowment is fully realized in this very lifetime.
04. Aries:
It is a relatively benevolent star system, composed of many galaxies, and is a rather gentle one. This star system can be described as a symbol of wealth, and it is inhabited by many virtuous beings. Based on the foundation of the "Aries Palace" as its guiding force, it mutually cares for and protects all 106 neighboring star systems. Thus, Aries is a star system symbolized by wealth.
05. Taurus:
It is a galaxy that is relatively vigorous and driven towards elevation, embodying an indomitable spirit where effort leads to success. Among the various galaxies, there are 75 in total, with the "Taurus Constellation" serving as the dominant one. For wealth to be eternally attained, diligent effort is essential, as only through striving can one secure this galaxy of prosperity.
06. Gemini:
This is an auspicious star system, dominated by the "Gemini Palace," with a total of 108 star systems in its orbit. It brings the joy of passing down a legacy to future generations, making it an exceptionally favorable constellation. Not only does it ensure the continuation of heritage, but it also bestows blessings upon descendants, accumulating abundant virtue and wealth for generations to come.
07. Cancer:
This is a relatively strong and powerful celestial body, less likely to be dominated by other star systems. Governed by the "House of Cancer," it drives all efforts toward achievement. Within the influence of Cancer, it is composed of 95 star systems, forming a powerful stellar entity, particularly in its pursuit of authority. If born into the human world, such individuals are destined to be leaders, each commanding their own domain.
08. Leo:
Thus, with the "Leo Palace" as the leading constellation, it is composed of a total of 120 star systems, embodying the star of the brave. It possesses leadership qualities and is a relatively untamed celestial body; however, it holds strong command over responsibilities and rights, and persistently adheres to its own convictions without wavering.
This highlights the lion's character, where all traits associated with a leader's position are difficult to undermine. Thus, it becomes clear that it is precisely an affirmation of one's own leadership abilities—a genuine appreciation of all that one possesses.
09. Virgo:
It is a constellation composed of 81 galaxies, and being among the relatively benevolent ones, it embodies a gentle, feminine quality. All benevolent influences upon the human world are governed by the "Virgo Palace," which is also the constellation that guides how one may attain the virtues of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
Thus, the star systems and constellations that serve as "maternal models" for all sentient beings in the world of living creatures also include many notable women who have descended and extended from these celestial bodies. In the future human world, it will be precisely in this way—women will rise to prominence.
10. Libra:
It is also said that Libra is a planet embodying impartiality and selflessness. In relation to the relativity of law enforcement, it is governed by the constellation of Libra, which consists of 101 star systems. The evolution and extension of law, leading to the implementation of supreme justice and fairness, constitute the primary duty of Libra. Therefore, the characteristics derived from this constellation tend to be relatively upright and incorruptible.
11. Scorpio:
It is a cluster of galaxies, composed of a total of 125 star systems. From the perspective of earthly time and space, however, only about 60 of these systems are visible. Governed by the "Scorpio Palace," this cluster serves as the anchor for all its member galaxies. These are relatively stubborn celestial bodies, yet they hold considerable authority among the star systems. Consequently, all beings descending from this cluster are destined to become regional leaders, playing pivotal roles in every era.
12. Sagittarius:
This constellation of 151 stars, governed by Sagittarius, directs all actions and serves as the guiding force for its warriors. It embodies immense strength and symbolizes the brave. One must advance step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each turn, to rise from an ordinary citizen to a regional commander through methodical progression. It also encompasses numerous leadership qualities that serve as the foundation for the brave, representing the essential conditions they must fulfill.
The Calculation Method of the Western Twelve Zodiac Signs
The Western twelve zodiac signs are calculated based on the "month," aligning with the 21st day of each month. Thus, starting from the alignment with Aries on March 21st, the subsequent alignments occur on the 21st of each month. Each celestial body in the Western zodiac is formed by the combination of its respective constellation, originating from the celestial equator and intersecting through the ecliptic.
Therefore, in the Western tradition, not only are the twelve zodiac constellations more well-known, but there are also nearly over 160 constellations in total. Compared to the present era, these constellations interact with the spiritual beings of sentient beings, and some of them share origins with the star systems of the Central Plains (China). Although they have evolved different names for each entity, in reality, they refer to the same celestial bodies as those in the Western constellations.
Furthermore, in their functions, although the names differ, the essence remains the same, much like how different star systems, despite varying designations, share similar roles. In this way, the "Central Earth star systems and Western constellations" can intersect and complement each other. This will enable future scientists, in their current research, inventions, and creations, to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The constellations of the Western system are distinct from one another.
It is precisely by referencing all: though the names of galaxies, constellations, star systems, and asterisms differ, their functions in relation to all things are the same. Thus, whether in the Middle Kingdom or the Western world, it is merely the different collective names and concepts that distinguish their functions by name. From this, one can also break through all the differing theories in the study of "Western philosophical science and technology" at the present moment.
In terms of astronomy, it will bring about substantial assistance and efficacy, enabling human society to shorten the time needed to explore the mysteries of the entire cosmic galaxy and disseminate knowledge, while also providing verification for the vast and boundless universe. This is a blessing for all living beings; it will serve as evidence for all the mysteries of the celestial realms, which will be revealed through future human technology.
The works of the Chongxin lineage will deeply resonate in the present moment, carrying this mode of thought and perception. They will stride forward in growth and fulfillment, achieving elevation and transcendence, offering humanity the conditions for virtuous growth and the necessity of advancing technological civilization. This is something we can all look forward to with anticipation!
The twelve constellations of the West align with the starry mansions of the Eastern land.
The great mysteries of the entire universe  
Are truly revealed at this very moment.
Scientific research elucidates principles,  
A time for East and West to converge.
Unfold the entirety of the cosmos,  
Benefiting all living beings and oneself.
This verse! Through mutual research with sentient beings, original spirits, and contemporary scientists, it can foster intellectual growth. All that is verified by scientific and technological civilization will reduce the delays caused by exploring time, space, and the environment, thereby benefiting all. This is beneficial for oneself, for all living beings, and ultimately for the achievement of heaven and earth.
##The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Official of the Upper Prime
From the Southern Heavens, the Limitless descends with a compassionate heart,  
Bestowing the Way to guide all sentient beings with tender care.
The Heavenly Venerable ascends the sacred platform today,  
Gathering with all sages in joyful fellowship.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namo Dipamkara, has descended to compose the thirty-third chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heavens," offering a more extensive exposition and analysis of the "Twelve Western Zodiac Constellations." In addressing the entirety of the Western constellations across the cosmos, they are composed of over 1,200 star systems.
Therefore, through the various star systems observing the actions and deeds of all living beings, particularly those of humanity, we achieve understanding and clarity of their respective influences. By integrating "Western constellations and Eastern star systems," these two can complement each other, offering all their functions and effects to sentient beings and original spirit seeds, aiding in their elevation and transcendence.
## Heavenly Venerable of Southern Celestial Rectitude
Descending from the celestial palace to the mortal realm,  
Primordial beginnings give rise to heaven, earth, and the duality of yin and yang.
The Water Official Emperor resides in the Vast Heaven,  
With a benevolent heart and mirror of virtue, bestowing blessings upon the world.
The Mirror of Benevolence: The Conscience of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity
The process of cosmic evolution, in its entirety, involves integrating heaven, earth, and humanity within the universe to foster greater growth and transformation. It becomes clear that the capacity for all sentient primordial spirits between heaven and earth to possess the inherent resources and driving force for upward elevation is precisely achieved through these spirits' return and transcendence in the human world.
It is essential to determine whether, within the space of Earth, one can elevate oneself to transcendence or remain forever bound by the obstacles of reincarnation. The distinction among all such conditions lies precisely in the difference between ascension and transcendence on one hand, and descent and reincarnation on the other. Moreover, why is it that the actions of human beings influence the differentiation of future blessings and misfortunes?
In the heavens, there exists a "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart"; in the underworld, there is a "Mirror of Karmic Deeds from the Earthly Heart"; and within each human being resides a "Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence—the IC Microcrystal," which records all. Therefore, these three conditions serve to elevate and nurture the primordial spirits of the present, while also distinguishing between ascension, transcendence, descent, and reincarnation within the vast cosmos.
The Unique Excellence of the Three Mirrors: Heaven, Earth, and Humanity
It is essential to clearly understand that within the heart-mirrors of these three—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—each holds the authority to govern all matters of "life and death," which in turn demands either an elevation through rebirth or a descent into degradation. This process, unfolding within the human world, remains obscure to many, for not everyone realizes that each person possesses a "mirror of conscience and benevolence"—a microcrystalline IC chip where such truths are stored.
It is also because it has existed since the very establishment of heaven and earth, and has served to verify and uplift all sentient original spirits. For humanity's existence, it relies entirely on the Conscience Mirror of Benevolence as its foundation. Precisely because of the existence of the Conscience Mirror of Benevolence—the IC microcrystal—what the Conscience Mirror demands to reveal is grounded in education and culture.
In the inheritance and reliance upon the decrees bestowed by Heaven, it is through educational and cultural curricula that the "Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence" can be elevated and transcended. Moreover, sentient beings and original spiritual beings may not fully comprehend why each human being possesses a "Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence"—a heart-mirror that records all. It is precisely the educational and cultural curricula that serve as the foundation for this transmission!
It is precisely due to these conditions that, within the human world, many requirements are set forth by the divine will. Without the foundation of educational and cultural curricula, it would be impossible to sustain the human world in the long term. Moreover, human desires and insufficiencies are addressed through the establishment of educational and cultural frameworks, which serve as a mirror for conscience and benevolence (humanity).
The Purifying Effect of the Conscience as a Mirror of Benevolence
It is precisely the affairs and curricula that endure for generations that can benefit all sentient beings! Therefore, with the Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence (Humanity), abbreviated as the Mirror of Conscience—the Mirror of the Human Heart, all educational and cultural curricula in the vast human world can exist. This is precisely to implement the human principles of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Five Relationships, Four Pillars, and Eight Virtues.
This kind can be compared to the transformation of the human world through all religious teachings, precisely mirroring the conscience of humanity—recorded by the IC microcrystal, it provides the human world with a realm akin to the Lotus Buddha Land. Through reflecting upon the original spirits of all sentient beings, it creates the conditions for reflective memory and radiant illumination.
What can be given is to conceal deep within the eighth consciousness of the inner world, and then extend it into virtuous deeds through actions. It is precisely under such conditions that this manifests in the human world. For the growth and return of the entire cosmos, it is the rightful conduct of humanity to elevate themselves, thereby truly transcending and growing beyond their own limitations.
The Conscience, a Mirror of Benevolence, Reflects and Records in IC Microcrystals.
Thus, through the conscience and benevolent mirror—the IC microcrystal—it becomes the primary factor for perfection, protection, and care. This is precisely because it can be grounded in the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Five Relationships, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" of the human world, constructed upon the thoughts of humanity, thereby enhancing the authenticity of its benefits.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Conscience and Benevolence Mirror that the human world is enabled to achieve growth and fulfillment for all sentient beings through it. If one fails to recognize that the memories held within the Conscience and Benevolence Mirror are indeed real and present in this earthly realm, it must be understood that there is a primary entity—the Great Conscience and Benevolence Mirror—that guides all lesser Conscience and Benevolence Mirrors.
Therefore, in the current era, amidst considerable turmoil, some will remain hidden and unseen, while others will manifest amid the chaos to offer protection. Still others have already revealed themselves in every dynasty, and in relation to the great essence—the mirror of conscience and benevolence—they provide significant assistance when viewed from the perspective of all religions.
The Buddha Converted King Ashoka
Furthermore, the "Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence" offers a truthful reflection for all future generations in education and culture. It provides sentient beings and original spirits with the moral standards manifested by conscience and the conditions for upholding human ethics. Through the reflection of the Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence, even the most wicked and irredeemable individuals can transform their ways of thinking.
It can be inferred that when Shakyamuni Buddha manifested the Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence in the time and space of King Ashoka, after that initial revelation, this great Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence was concealed and has not been revealed again. One may then consider: in the present era, after more than 2,000 years, how might it be? It often manifests among humanity!
It is clear that if we consider the relationship between the Shakyamuni Buddha and King Ashoka, it can be said that the Buddha’s teachings and profound moral influence moved King Ashoka to become a protector and supporter. Therefore, the Conscience Mirror—the IC microcrystal—is always present in the moment. From this, we can understand that what exists is recorded by the great subject—the Conscience Mirror—and how it is so!
The manifestation as shown in the mirror of conscience
Furthermore, the small conscience and benevolent mirror of the divided spirit (ling) can guide the present era through this small conscience and benevolent mirror. It can be said that it has long emerged, precisely because such causes and conditions exist throughout the world. It can be clearly seen that what the conscience and benevolent mirror reveal is precisely the boundless transmission and dissemination of the great compassion of heaven and earth, bestowing virtue and grace upon all sentient beings.
Every sentient being possesses the potential and conditions for awakening. No matter how wicked a person may be, they still feel a sense of shame when committing evil deeds. The very fact that such thoughts arise during wrongdoing indicates that even the most depraved individual retains a conscience and a latent sense of shame within the mirror of their heart—it has simply not yet been fully revealed.
They can first be educated and enlightened, reflecting through the mirror of conscience and memory to be given a fresh start. In the presence of heaven and earth, much of the evil and wicked energy will inevitably diminish. However, among ordinary sentient beings, there are some who, upon entering religion, may come to believe that their actions are a way of "carrying out the will of heaven," considering themselves to be acting on its behalf.
To do good, it is essential to remain low-key—this is the proper way.
This sentiment wishes for all people under heaven to understand that one is currently engaged in truly good and virtuous deeds, and that one fears the world may remain unaware of such commendable actions. However, when such conduct ends up causing greater distress to others, it becomes a case of committing evil under the guise of goodness. Under such conditions, such instances are, in fact, everywhere to be found!
When thoughts and perceptions are incorrect, it inevitably leads to performing evil deeds under the guise of good. From the perspective of the human world, this may seem excusable, but when judged by the mirror of conscience and benevolence, it is not necessarily so. Can such actions yield merit or virtue? Not necessarily! It is merely a matter of how the "eighth consciousness" contemplates it.
It can be clarified: When human beings give rise to thoughts and intentions, do they commit evil deeds while dwelling in goodness? This can be discerned through the Conscience Mirror—the IC microcrystal. But from where, by what means, and through what function is it judged? It cannot escape the memory stored within the Conscience Mirror—the IC microcrystal. Thus, such causes and conditions can be analyzed, and the question of "in what" can be answered.
Before each human being is born, they are already equipped with an IC microchip, which records every word spoken and every deed performed throughout their lifetime, without any possibility of falsification.
Heaven and Earth cherish all living beings,  
Deep are the ties to education and culture.
A conscience of benevolence forms the foundation,  
Reflecting inward can transform the evil-hearted.
The Buddha converted King Ashoka, invoking the flourishing of heavenly virtue.
The IC microcrystal records the main body's conscience within the frame of benevolence.
This verse! It is meant to encourage all sentient beings and original spirits together; if one cannot possess the Conscience and Benevolence Mirror, it can also be rooted through education and culture. This precisely aids and guides the Conscience and Benevolence Mirror—the IC micro-crystal—with complementary effects and a guiding role. There is no need to rely solely on the Conscience and Benevolence Mirror for downward transformation; instead, it depends on humanity itself to achieve fulfillment and take the lead. How wonderful that is! Today, we have troubled Chongxin with our presence. Farewell, everyone!
The Great Dao, the Vast Heaven, composes the celestial scriptures;  
The Southern Heaven’s karmic ties are truly extraordinary.
To uplift all beings universally,  
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform to share in attaining mastery.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the Three Primes and Three Officials—specifically the Great Emperor of the Lower Prime Water Official—has descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of *The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven*. This brings down a profound and ancient karmic opportunity that has long been difficult to convey. Moreover, this chapter, titled "The Mirror of Conscience and Benevolence," marks its first composition in the human realm within the Confucian Sacred Teaching.
This is the grace and function of the great Dao's predestined affinity, providing the entire Chongxin lineage with a greater foundation for growth and reliance. These firsthand materials are unique to the Chongxin lineage, and you are truly fortunate! You are blessed to obtain the firsthand materials from Heaven for contemplation and growth, and to verify the great grace of heaven and earth through their evolution. Rejoice! Rejoice! Let everyone cherish this!
跋、凡例
##Founder of Christianity, Jehovah
序言、讚日、頌賀
Mid-Year Festival's Grace Nourishes All Beings,  
The Earth Official's Virtue Bestows Blessings in the Netherworld.
The Great Emperor descends, manifesting in the vast heavens;  
The mirror of sin in the heart of the earth reveals evil deeds.
The Manifestation Effect of the Sin Mirror at the Earth's Core
The Conscience Mirror of Benevolence—IC microcrystals, which record all actions in the human world, are precisely nurtured and enriched through education and culture. Thus, in the human realm, regardless of distinctions, reliance on the Conscience Mirror of Benevolence must be shaped by conscience, elevating it through the manifestation of conscience and benevolent virtue.
To understand what conscience truly is, it means to act in such a way that one feels no shame before heaven above or earth below. It is bestowed as the "Mirror of Benevolent Conscience"—the IC microcrystal—to be upheld in memory, residing within the conscience of heaven and earth. If the human world fails to practice the way of benevolence, engage in benevolent deeds, or act with benevolence, it will inevitably treat all living beings as mere straw dogs, which is the ultimate inhumanity of humankind.
Again, since all living beings are treated as straw dogs, the heavens will likewise treat sentient human beings as straw dogs, and may even punish them. This kind of cruelty from heaven, or cruelty from humans, must be clearly evident! Often, the actions of human beings will influence the differences in future blessings and misfortunes.
The Efficacy and Benefits of the Heart-of-Earth Mirror of Sin
This pertains to the effect on the souls that have fallen into the underworld. For those spirits who have already descended into the abyss and find it difficult to ascend or transcend, it becomes impossible to invoke the benevolent grace of the heavenly will for their return. Having lost the opportunity to fulfill their human destiny in the mortal realm, such individuals—bereft of humanity (benevolence)—cannot aspire to ascend to the celestial realm from the human world. Instead, they remain bound to the mortal plane, accumulating karma.
This necessity must have benevolence (ren) as the foundation upon which human conduct is based, for only then can it be elevated from the human realm. Otherwise, one sinks into the underworld—a space of obstacles filled with sin—where one’s own energy is already lost beyond reach. Moreover, it becomes difficult to rely on virtue and goodness for any sustaining effect.
It can be said that sentient beings, by choosing a path of downfall and obstruction for themselves, often fall into the underworld due to such conditions. And because of their inhumane actions toward humanity, Heaven no longer allows those who struggle to practice benevolence to be reborn into the human world.
When it is transformed into a force that operates within the human realm (the way of benevolence), it drives descent and downfall into the underworld, ultimately becoming a state in which beings are covered in fur and horns. Once reborn in such a form, it becomes difficult to return as a human. Thus, those who lack benevolence find it hard to embody humanity (benevolence) and instead find their place among the beasts, livestock, or other sentient beings of the human world.
The Heart of the Earth's Mirror Projects an Image
All living beings: The human world upon which they tread can be elevated and transcended by the grace of Heaven. However, sentient beings often fail to cultivate themselves for ascension; instead, they create numerous obstacles that lead to downfall, casting themselves into even more tragic and desolate realms. This is the underworld—the domain of hell.
It is the gravitational pull that draws them together, preventing any possibility of ascent or transcendence. Moreover, due to the depth of their sins, they are unable to attain a light and ethereal form to soar toward the bright heavens. Instead, they remain trapped within the force of gravity, sinking further into the underworld. For humanity, there has always been a distinction between rising upward and falling downward.
Thus, the boundary between descent and ascent is established, allowing one to cast themselves into a realm defined by the distinction between rising and falling. From the perspective of sentient beings and primordial souls, this is judged by the actions and deeds performed in the human world. For oneself and future generations, it forms a formidable obstacle, making achievement exceedingly difficult.
Moreover, the manifestation of the Great Dao is all-encompassing and leaves no detail unattended. However, sentient beings and original spirits are granted the freedom to make their own choices—whether to ascend or to descend. For sentient beings, it is often exceedingly difficult to seize the opportunity for ascension. Consequently, the majority of people frequently gravitate toward the underworld. Such is the nature of this reality!
Before the Mirror of Sin, there are no good people.
Once again, trapped in the vortex of downfall, one may understand the crux of the problem yet remain numb and indifferent. Even with the will to change, the strength to realize and achieve it remains elusive! Thus, through all that can be witnessed in the underworld and hell, one may thoroughly comprehend how sentient beings and primordial spirits act in the human world.
If one's sins were not exceedingly grave, there would be no need to stand before the Mirror of Sins for its revealing light. It is precisely before this mirror that the absence of virtuous souls becomes apparent. Before the Mirror of Sins, there exists a verse of warning: "Before the Mirror of Sins, no good person stands." Thus, all that each has done and all that each has been, illuminated by the terrestrial Mirror of Sins, undergoes transformation through the energies of three dimensions and three C's.
Observe each action and how each step is carried out, as well as how it is enacted. Through the three-dimensional, three-C spatial energy body, examine the eighth consciousness of all sentient beings and original spirits that exist—what kind of mentality and conditions are present? In this way, what kind of thoughts and intentions drive the actions and behaviors in the present moment? What purpose do they serve, and what actions do they entail?
Through the conversion of three-C energy, rather than merely the three-D space, how does it affect the thought and action of all moving entities? It becomes clear: all one's sins are precisely projected in every single move, making them evident at a glance. What, then, of the intentions and thoughts behind them? At this point, what use are sophistry and eloquence?
What the Mirror of Sin Reveals
Moreover, there is no need to elaborate on one's own actions and deeds. Since the evidence of wrongdoing is already irrefutable, the underlying motives are clear at a glance, leaving no room for sentient beings or primordial spirits to argue sophistically! This is the creation of the essence of heaven and earth, and it is certainly beyond the comprehension of human computers or mere energy.
This merely pertains to the three dimensions and three-dimensional space, making it exceedingly difficult to reach the energy of the three-C space, which is capable of transforming and clarifying "conscious thoughts." Furthermore, the "Earth's Heart Mirror" projects the "thoughts and contemplations" of sentient beings' original spirits, yet it does not compromise the function of distinguishing karma through the Mirror of Retribution by resorting to sophistry.
It can be clearly understood that the thoughts and consciousness of each individual, created and distinguished by the energies of the three-dimensional space and the three-C space, cannot be falsified, nor can they be influenced by sophistry. This is precisely because the Heavens, through the ten-dimensional space and the ten-C space, are fully aware of even the slightest "stirring of the heart and mind."
The Function of the Karmic Mirror's Images in the Earth's Core
Created by the essence of heaven and earth: The Mirror of Heaven and Earth's Heart is established to ensure that for all sentient primordial spirits in the human realm, whether sinking or descending, the "thoughts and consciousness" of the mind can never be falsified or deviated. This is precisely the primary reason for its existence. Through the integration of the Mirror of Heaven and Earth's Heart, it is determined whether one ascends and transcends or descends and sinks.
In the Mirror of Karma, all projections are revealed with utmost clarity. Do not claim that the heavens are high and without eyes or ears, nor deceive the gods and spirits of heaven and earth in the dark. Undoubtedly, it is the misguided thoughts of sentient beings that create obstacles, confining and distressing themselves. This cosmic essence, by its very nature, transcends what earthly science and technology can ever achieve.
The essence of the celestial energy coalesces to project the original spirits of sentient beings into various sins and errors. This can be fully understood through the "Mirror of Karmic Reflection in the Earth's Core," which examines how humanity sinks into the underworld and inspects the multitude of sentient beings. What combination of mental conditions and circumstances brings this about? It can be verified through the manifestations of the Great Dao.
In the human world, the reflective effects of every word, deed, and action are absolutely beyond the comprehension of sentient beings. Moreover, the subtleties of all that is done are achieved through the energy of the human three-C space and three-dimensional space, responding truthfully to every movement. It is precisely as if there exists a kind of memory of actions that are absolutely true and accurate in their reality!
The ten degrees, ten C's, and ten D's manifest their functions through shadow-like appearances.
Furthermore, this technology, as it exists in the future, will lead humanity to discover its unique significance within the mirrors of heaven, earth, and conscience. Consequently, technological civilization is achieved through the interplay of time, space, and environment, enabling creation and advancement. It is only through the divine facilitation and invention of energy forms by the Supreme Being that such progress can be genuinely realized.
Sentient beings in the current age of technological civilization often find it difficult to believe that the evil karma they create will inevitably be repaid with manifold retributions. Yet this is an absolute truth, and not the slightest trace of it will be overlooked. Can such sentient beings truly comprehend that every single action they take is clearly and fully known by the Heavens?
All actions and thoughts are clearly observed by Heaven, with not the slightest oversight or omission. For all sentient beings blessed by the virtues of heaven and earth, as well as the ascended sages, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, it is evident that in every action, all validating deeds are faithfully recorded in memory.
Before the Mirror of Sin, no man is blameless;  
Heaven's heart of virtue finds humanity lacking in benevolence.
All that is illuminated from the heart of the earth becomes manifest;  
Reborn are those who wear fur and bear horns.
Reincarnating in the lower realms, it is hard to be reborn as a human—  
all because one lacks the virtues of heaven.
Sinking into obstacles of one's own making—when will one regain a human form?
This verse! It is a mutual fulfillment and encouragement among all sentient original spirits; it serves as a wake-up call for those in the human world who fail to act with humanity (benevolence) as humans should. It provides the true memories imprinted within all sentient original spirits as absolute verification of what is right. In the human world, it also clarifies how to distinguish between ascending or descending paths for the future. Today, we humbly trouble Chongxin for this insight!

序言、讚日、頌賀
The Southern Heavens teach all sentient beings,  
Promoting the Way across the four seas, revered by all.
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform to gather together;  
All sentient sages and virtuous ones shall achieve success.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the Middle Primordial Earth Official has descended to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*, elucidating the function of the "Mirror of Karma in the Earth’s Core" with utmost fidelity within the teachings of the Confucian School. This serves as a benevolent reminder and an awakening grace for all sentient beings and original spirits of the present time.
This allows everyone to clearly understand the workings of divine virtue and grace, as well as how the original spirits of all sentient beings engage in contemplation through thoughts and consciousness. It elucidates the transformation across ten dimensions, ten D, and ten C spaces, enabling insight into what state of mind is at play in the arising of thoughts and intentions. It also clarifies how to comprehend all actions and movements with clarity.
What kind of thought is this? Whether it is a virtuous thought, an evil intention, a sinful mind, or a mind aligned with the Dao—all are perceived through one's own "consciousness and awareness." In every moment and every action, the truthfulness is absolute and cannot be falsified! Yet, this is a concept that sentient beings and primordial spirits are unable to clearly comprehend. Thank you for your efforts. Farewell!

## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
序言、讚日、頌賀
The grace of the Upper Prime pervades the great cosmos;  
The Celestial Official bestows blessings upon all sentient beings.
The Great Emperor descends, manifesting in the Vast Heavens;  
The Heart of Heaven, a sacred mirror, reveals the chapter of immortals and buddhas.
The Functions and Effects of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror
The Conscience Mirror of Benevolence—integrating the IC microcrystal with the Mirror of Karmic Reflection from the Earth’s core—fulfills its guiding function in both the human world and the underworld by aligning with the virtue and grace of the Heavenly Heart. It is precisely through this alignment that one may ascend via the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," thereby receiving the great virtue and grace of Heaven.
This is the function of upward ascension, which is also quite true to reality. Furthermore, it integrates through the condition of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror." Projected by the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," it reflects upon the ascended saints, immortals, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, allowing their actions and deeds to be projected through the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror" within their own energy and consciousness—this is entirely correct.
It is precisely the virtue that nurtures all sentient beings; from the perspective of the human world of existence, what can be understood and seen is merely a vast universe under the bright sky and sun. It is also difficult to comprehend that within this expanse, in the space of Earth, there exists the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror" as the radiant foundation, which is also stored within the vast memory of the great cosmic space.
The Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror Illuminates the Path Beyond Immortals and Buddhas.
Thus, under such conditions, a protective mechanism is established for all living beings of the vast earth, preventing ultraviolet rays from directly projecting into the planet. This Yama-Ga radiation, existing in outer space, also serves to block the outward escape of radiation, thereby safeguarding all living creatures in the great world.
In fact, in outer space, there are many forms of radiation unfavorable to sentient beings on Earth that are being intercepted, shielded, and guarded against. From the perspective of all living beings, this is a protective measure, preventing harmful radiation from directly irradiating Earth's space. Yet, in the present human world, what can be understood about this is still very limited, and even less is truly comprehended.
Not only is it illuminated by ultraviolet light and the "Yamaga Line," but in fact, there are also many harmful radiation rays that are blocked by the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror." In other words, it is protected by the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," which also ensures that sentient beings and original spirit particles are not affected by harmful radiation from outer space.
The Heavenly Heart benevolently protects and blesses all deities and Buddhas.
In addition to achieving perfection and providing protection, it is essential to understand clearly: all sentient beings between heaven and earth are derived from the Supreme Divinity. Therefore, within all realms of Earth, any sacred deities, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings have the duty to achieve perfection, offer protection, and bestow care—this is the righteous path!
From the perspective of all sentient beings in the vast cosmos, there exists protection and care, rather than what some religions claim: when sages, immortals, buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings seek to ascend beyond and transcend, they are obstructed by the Three Officials Great Emperors, preventing them from entering the Milky Way galaxy and the greater universe. Is this truly the case? It is not!
This is yet another immense fallacy and error, failing to understand the boundless compassion and great benevolence of the Three Officials Great Emperors. The regulations they uphold and govern under Heaven are meant to protect and fulfill all sentient beings throughout the vast world. Those who possess the capability may ascend beyond the ten dimensions of space and transcend the cycle of rebirth outside the Three Realms.
Functions and Efficacy of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror
To reach the realms of the great cosmos, the void, and the boundless heavenly domain, it is necessary to project through the Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart. All processes or actions within the human path must be projected into the 'Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart,' akin to a video recorder in the human world, where every energy form is clearly reflected.
Furthermore, for each aspect: from the initial thoughts and intentions, there are different energies, scores, and hues to manifest; one can rely on the Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart as a guide. There is no need to speak for oneself about how many merits were achieved or how many sentient beings were guided in the human world in the past. Simply by looking into the 'Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart,' everything becomes clear at a glance!
There is no need to even mention it—one's own merits and achievements vary in measure, and the process is precisely as verified by the Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror! In truth, there are far too many sages, immortals, Buddhas, and exalted bodhisattvas traversing the cosmic expanse. This serves as a form of protection and, moreover, embodies the great virtue and grace of the Heavenly Will. Thus, countless sentient beings and primordial spirits are revealed through the illumination of the Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror.
The Great Virtue of the Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror Acts as Grace.
Under such conditions, migrating to other star systems—this is the process by which the primordial spirits of the great cosmos, through formal channels, enhance their energy to depart from Earth's space, becoming energy bodies that are both coming and going, like the Tathāgata! At this stage, they are no longer ordinary beings. By projecting all their actions and processes onto the sacred mirror of the heavenly heart, they can clearly perceive the arising of thoughts and intentions: their scores and hues.
Moreover, it is through the actions of humanity that one can discern whether there is a genuine intention to do good, whether there is a true commitment to guiding and liberating sentient beings, or to genuinely elevating the original spirits of all beings to transcendence, or whether one is merely a seeker of fame and reputation, a hypocrite who feigns virtue, and who repeatedly sinks into the cycles of worldly attachments, swaying back and forth.
Thus, all the origins and developments become clear. Moreover, this "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror" reveals that, due to the sentient beings' lack of understanding of the original intent, the Three Officials Great Emperors are metaphorically described as preventing sentient beings from ascending and transcending! Yet, within the heavenly decrees, it is essential to "uphold sincerity in doing good, as the foundation for ascending and transcending—through virtuous conduct!"
The Mirror of the Heavenly Mind can illuminate all thoughts.
There is also a principle stating, "Hypocritical goodness, even if good, is not rewarded; unintended evil, even if evil, is not punished." This principle allows one's actions to be observed as a basis for determining the mindset behind spiritual ascension and transcendence. Through the screening of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," those whose energy is sufficient can truly transcend the earthly realm!
Moreover, regarding hypocrisy versus sincere goodness, genuine salvation versus feigned salvation, and true merits, all can be clearly observed through the "Heavenly Heart and Sacred Mirror." Only those with sincere hearts can directly transcend the earthly realm, unaffected and undiminished by the "Yamaga Line," which is the true path of ascension and transcendence.
To transcend the confines of Earth's space, it is essential to endow it with genuine energy, thereby achieving true liberation beyond the ten cycles of reincarnation and the three realms. This is not a matter for the Three Officials to decide, as it has long been clearly stipulated in the celestial statutes. It is imperative to understand that all processes of elevation are directly projected through the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart."
The Sacred Mirror is the energy of color grading scores.
And reflecting one's actions directly in the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" is precisely what evolves through the essence of heaven and earth. Moreover, all that can be possessed—the quantity of the energy body in terms of its score—is related. Through such conditions, one can understand the hue of past actions, and discern how the thoughts and intentions in the present moment compare with those of the past.
Otherwise, in the human world, if one judges solely by outward actions and conduct, how can one ascertain the state of the "arising of thoughts, the stirring of consciousness, and the intentions of the mind"? It is necessary to rely on the function revealed by the 'Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror,' which, through the accumulation of all virtuous merits and achievements, assesses the "hue and score"—what kind of energy body these represent!
It is akin to the projection from a video camera in the human world, where editing can still be applied. However, when projected through one’s own eighth consciousness, it becomes impossible to modify through editing. Every scene, every hue, every score, every energy is presented exactly as it is, leaving no room for falsification.
The Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart must have a password.
Within this, there are many auxiliary tools for judgment, allowing one to clearly see how the mind functions in the processes of "arising thoughts and stirring intentions" or "mental consciousness and awareness." At a glance, it becomes evident that there is no need to forcefully justify one's own merits or achievements, no matter how numerous or profound they may be. To do so would undoubtedly be nothing more than self-deception.
For the sages, immortals, Buddhas, exalted beings, and Bodhisattvas within the vast cosmos who aspire to ascend and transcend, every thought, intention, and action in each step of their journey is a projection onto the "Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror." If one lacks the sufficient energy body and yet seeks to depart from Earth's realm, they will be cast down, directly returning to undergo further refinement.
If one can pass the judgment of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," which assesses the sufficiency of an individual's energy and merits of virtue, then based on the extent of these merits and the individual's karmic connections, they may advance toward the star (kingdom) that aligns with their accumulated energy and merits. Such conditions serve to protect those with sufficient energy, enabling them to transcend.
The Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror Examines Sages, Immortals, and Buddhas
Without this energy body, allowing it to depart from Earth's space would instantly expose it to the harmful radiation beyond, leading to its elimination and eradication—what could be done then! I ask all sentient beings: Is this a lack of benevolence or compassion on the part of the immortals, Buddhas, or the Heavenly Realm? Not at all! This protective measure is indeed a reflection of utmost truthfulness.
However, there are also some who attempt to leave the Earth's realm through clandestine means. Whether they can survive in the vast cosmos remains difficult to comprehend! This is because many who have just departed are swiftly eradicated. For sentient beings and original spirits who, defying all warnings, resort to such covert escapes, it becomes immediately evident whether their individual energy is sufficient.
Regarding the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" as the unified foundation, this ancient and untold secret is dissected to be understood and realized. Why then did the Supreme Heaven establish: the Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, the Mirror of the Earthly Karma, and the Mirror of the Benevolent Conscience? Thus, they are governed and overseen by the Three Great Emperors of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Those who can clearly comprehend the virtuous connections within the mysteries of heaven and earth are rare indeed! Rare indeed!
This kind of compassionate and virtuous grace lies in the growth, elevation, and transcendence of all goodness within humanity and sentient beings. It is precisely the protection and proper elevation bestowed by Heaven upon those who follow the righteous path, allowing them to genuinely accumulate merits of hidden virtue as their foundation. It does not deviate from the reliance on the righteous path but serves as the basis for future elevation and growth, thus requiring utmost dedication and diligent effort.
Departing from the Earth's Realm, Lacking the Diploma of Virtue
In fact, the most crucial point lies in whether there is a distinction in the elevation of the righteous path. Most are simply lacking the diploma of "true attainment of enlightenment" bestowed by the Heavenly Realm! This gives rise to the divergence between "attaining enlightenment through Buddha-nature" and "gaining insight through demon-nature," which may seem like a minute difference in the present moment but will lead to a vast disparity of thousands of miles in the future, making the journey all the more arduous.
Many embark on the path of cultivation, yet few truly attain enlightenment and bear its fruit! Even among those who achieve some progress in learning the Way, many lack virtue, acting with a demonic nature rather than upholding a Buddha-nature. As the ancient saying goes: "With the Way but without virtue, one becomes a demon; with both the Way and virtue, one may become a Buddha, a deity, a sage, or an immortal." Can one truly comprehend the profound mystery within this? It is no easy task!
The shortcomings of all human beings stem from the accumulation of "virtue and character." Yet, some believe that by learning certain practices, they can transcend and avoid returning as humans in the future. Alas! They possess not even a trace of merit or hidden virtue; if any exists, it is exceedingly meager. How could they endure long within the vast cosmos and heavenly realms? It is far too difficult!
Without understanding the fundamental principles of "how heaven and earth unfold the true meaning," how can one ascend, grow, and transcend? It is nearly impossible! In the end, it becomes difficult to accumulate genuine merit and hidden virtue. Is there any possibility of returning and transcending? Fundamentally, it is impossible! It is essential to serve oneself and all sentient beings diligently, for only then can one attain substantial fruits of practice, which is also more rapid and practical!
The Sacred Mirror of Heaven's Heart forges ascension; all sentient beings may achieve it.
Clarify the virtue of the celestial heart to guide,  
Fulfill all spirits to return and reach perfection on their own.
When causes and conditions bring merit to fruition,  
Virtuous qualities and capacities become truly exceptional.
Projecting its original spirit, the light shines,
Protecting the form, clear at a single glance.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it serves as an annotation to the Three Great Emperor-Officials, ensuring that past misunderstandings and errors do not persist. It is meant to aid and elevate all sentient beings, completing and protecting them, strengthening their energy bodies, so they may adapt to and draw upon all energy sources beyond the cosmic realm for protection!
It is the QNA energy body! When sentient beings lack sufficient primordial spiritual energy and wish to transcend the three realms, they will inevitably be annihilated and eradicated by the radiation electron net energy body. They are utterly destroyed, making it nearly impossible to restore the original spiritual essence. This means the soul is scattered and the spirit vanishes, with little hope of recovery. This point must be taken as a stern warning!

序言、讚日、頌賀
A rare opportunity unfolds the Great Path,
The Heavenly Lord of Southern Justice arrives.
The Celestial Official Emperor elucidates the profound mysteries,  
A sacred record of sages and buddhas, obscure through the ages.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Emperor of Blessings from the Upper Primordial Heavenly Official has descended to compose the thirty-sixth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," offering a rather clear analysis of the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart." This allows everyone to better understand the functions of the 'Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart' and how it operates!
Granting us the space of this Earth, how profound is the protection and care bestowed upon all sentient beings and primordial spirits! Moreover, we are able to comprehend the first and most profound mysteries since ancient times, understanding the process and limitations of transcending the Three Realms. However, if one attempts to cross over by stealth with insufficient energy, they will inevitably be dissolved by the "Yamaga Line" and radiation rays upon departure.
From then on, they vanished without a trace, making it clear: this is the case on any planet! Otherwise, aliens from other planets would have long since invaded Earth's space. It is precisely due to the great compassion and benevolent grace of Heaven, in the operation of the Great Dao's orbit, that we are grateful! With this, the entire thirty-six chapters of *The Great Dao Haotian* have been completed.
Next is an epilogue and preface, followed by the setting up of an incense altar in the hall to reverently receive the Sacred Decree and the Jade Decree, completing the book and fulfilling the divine mandate. We look forward to everyone joining in the preparation for the completion of the sixteenth volume of the Dadao series, *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*. We give thanks to the Heavens and the Infinite Celestial Mother for their benevolent grace and protection upon the lineage of Chongxin.
◎Inquiry:
Yamaga Line: It is a form of extraterrestrial energy. Among the radiation lines, there are over ten types, including the Golulula Line, the Sanfanlamo Line, the Zhehangdanggecuola Line, and the Lishuliyuanbuge Line. Some of these are beneficial to sentient beings, some have an influence on them, and others directly cause harm.
If one wishes to transcend beyond the three realms, it is essential to possess the light emitted by one's own energy body—that is, one must be fully endowed with the QNA energy body. Only then can it be considered truly authentic. Otherwise, if one's energy body does not emit light, how could one possibly slip away unnoticed? I fear it would be difficult to achieve any accomplishment! Today, we have come this far, and I appreciate everyone's efforts. Let us hope that each of us will strive diligently on our own path.

The Great Dao—it is the natural and spontaneous action that integrates and guides the planetary systems of Earth, enabling all sentient beings to transcend. It is precisely the condition that alters and surpasses the cycle of rebirth. This transformation must be realized through the process of cultivation within the human realm, allowing the original spirits of sentient beings to achieve fulfillment and transcendence.
It is essential to pass through the actions and deeds of the human world to fully realize and transcend these conditions. Moreover, for the original spirits of sentient beings, this process significantly enhances their conditions for growth. It also provides a foundation and legacy for the survival experiences of the human world, guiding and transmitting them to future generations throughout the journey of life.
The Heavenly Dao—towards all sentient beings and myriad things in the vast world—possesses the capacity to screen and select based on conditions for transcendence within the Earth's star system. Moreover, it fulfills the conditions for its own energy body's QNA to radiate light, ensuring that the entire cosmos, regardless of nation or race, is unified as one—all living beings under the care of the divine.
It is precisely derived from the Great Dao, blessed by the virtue and grace of the unified cosmos, and grounded in the educational culture of all religions as one body, that one can transcend beyond the three realms. It also provides the condition of "self-illumination" for all who pass through this form of energy. Moreover, in the process of evolution described in *The Great Dao of Haotian*, it manifests as true nature.
"Dao of the Great Cosmos" elucidates the mysteries of the universe and galaxies that have remained unrevealed since ancient times within the sacred texts of the Confucian tradition. This is not an achievement attainable through ordinary "divine transmissions," but rather through the integration of all necessary conditions for revelation. It systematically imparts these age-old mysteries into the conceptual framework of human thought.
This endeavor aims for elevation and transcendence. Future technology will validate the timeless secrets once unrevealed, merging and perpetuating the technological civilization of the 21st century through the union of religion and science. It is hoped that all sentient beings in this world of affection may mutually fulfill and surpass one another. This would be a great fortune for heaven, for all living beings, and for religion itself!

The Great Way of Heaven was established accordingly.
Postscript II
The technological civilization of the 21st century must integrate the scientific and technological achievements of both the West and the East. Relying solely on Western technology to explore the vastness of the entire universe is not an easy task, as it often encounters numerous obstacles rooted in ignorance, making it difficult to break through the mysteries of ancient Chinese metaphysics.
To align with the cosmic evolution of the Central Plains' Yan-Huang traditions, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams, verification becomes relatively straightforward. For Western science and technology, however, it is essential to integrate with the foundational principles of the "Classics of Dao and De" from the Central Plains to achieve mutual enhancement. Furthermore, this integration aids in establishing the necessary preconditions for the detailed research, invention, and innovation within Western science and technology.
Technology is the means by which humanity creates its world, achieving significant advancements that provide a comfortable and secure living environment. This makes it clear to all civilizations across the universe why life thrives on Earth, and how living conditions persist seamlessly through both day and night.
All are connected to the conditions under which all living beings exist, yet humanity fails to truly comprehend that the vast, boundless stars of the cosmos are intrinsically linked to human actions, which in turn are intertwined with the deeds of all living beings. These actions complement and support one another, and in all endeavors, they remain profoundly connected to the galaxies of the universe.
Furthermore, these are matters beyond the comprehension of the masses in the present era. The advancements and transcendence brought about by technological civilization—namely, the future transcendence from the Earth's planetary system to the cosmic realm of great virtue and grace—profoundly and truthfully affect all living beings. This is precisely achieved through the integration of "Eastern culture and Western technology."
This can reduce the reliance on contemporary scientists and the time needed for research and development to create civilizations that transcend current limitations, thereby minimizing many unnecessary troubles and obstacles. Furthermore, it clarifies the ways in which time and space can be shortened. The ancient Chinese concepts of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams, along with the cultures derived from them, are precisely complementary to Western science and technology, capable of mutually reinforcing one another.
For the 21st century, this holds considerable inspiration. Moreover, the virtue and grace that benefit all evolutions across the vast world arise precisely from transcending rigid thinking—may it be so! May it be so! Through this, all future civilizations of the 21st century may be manifested and realized ahead of time.

Colophon III
"The Great Dao of Haotian" – The original intention of this work is to blend the "Eastern Year Star System" with the "Western Lunar Constellations," making it clear to all sentient beings that it is precisely through the influence of the Eastern "Zodiac Year Signs" that:
The Eastern Twelve Zodiacal Constellations—Celestial Rat, Celestial Ox, Celestial Tiger, Celestial Rabbit, Celestial Dragon, Celestial Snake, Celestial Horse, Celestial Goat, Celestial Monkey, Celestial Rooster, Celestial Dog, and Celestial Boar—are here combined with the Western Twelve Zodiac Signs, analyzing them according to the "monthly influences" of the Western zodiac.
It is through the mutual integration of each constellation, combined with the twelve-year star system of the Eastern lands, and further aligned with the twelve-month zodiac of the Western world, that all human beings can come to understand everything they encounter throughout their lives.
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius; each zodiac sign embodies an orientation toward survival, forming interconnected karmic entities that intermingle. Through the varied survival orientations of each month, they thoroughly manifest fortune and misfortune, prosperity and decline.
The Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions: First – East: Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji. Second – North: Dou, Niu, Nü, Xu, Wei, Shi, Bi. Third – West: Kui, Lou, Wei, Ang, Bi, Zi, Shen. Fourth – South: Jing, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi, Zhen, which together determine the prosperity and decline of each day.
Furthermore, the twenty-eight lunar mansions of the Eastern world are brought to completion in their orientations, and they are mutually fulfilled through the twenty-eight "days" of each month. Thus, through the twenty-eight lunar mansions of the East, it becomes possible to integrate and elevate the technological civilization of the West. This serves to elucidate and mutually combine the Eastern art of Ziwei Doushu.
If one can apply the twelve-year celestial cycle of the Eastern lands, along with the twelve zodiac constellations of the West, and further incorporate the twenty-eight lunar mansions of the East, it becomes possible to discern for all sentient beings: in which year, month, day, and hour certain events will occur. One may also comprehend the cycles of cause and effect, and understand from what moment they originate and culminate.
It will manifest within DNA in the future technological civilization, precisely enabling RNA to discern with utmost authenticity. Furthermore, it elevates the luminous function of the self's energy QNA, which is precisely achieved by ascending, transcending, and returning from the human world. This is applied with complete authenticity to all aspects of the present era.
It is hoped that the technological civilization of the 21st century can be integrated with the ancient and enduring culture of the East, as well as with Western technological civilization. Such a rare and favorable combination of conditions will foster wholesome growth, elevate and transcend, and ultimately bring about abundant blessings and benefits for all sentient beings. This is the true nature of reality!

The Great Dao, by the decree of Heaven, sets forth the common example;  
The Great Dao, revered in the heart, enters a new era of writing.
Editorial Principles
I. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven": The works address the mysteries expounded by contemporary technological civilization, which can construct and genuinely elevate the future of technological civilization. This is precisely because they are dedicated to enabling all sentient beings to achieve accomplishment and transcendence.
II. *The Great Dao and the Vast Cosmos*: It elucidates a profound understanding and clarity regarding the correspondence between 21st-century technology and the cosmic galaxy. Moreover, it offers solutions to the civilizational obstacles encountered in the scientific realm of our present era.
III. *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*: Regarding the terms used to describe the civilization and technology of the present era, if different names are adopted in the future world, they are merely designations established within different times and spaces. However, although the names may differ, their functions remain the same. Moreover, their positions and functions are mutually complementary and reinforcing. For those who can comprehend this, it is hoped that they will carefully contemplate these functions, as doing so will lead to rapid and remarkable progress in future scientific research.
IV. *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven*: By elucidating the complementary interactions of civilization and technology in the 21st century, humanity can significantly reduce the prolonged trial and error in creative research, shortening it by thousands of times. It is essential to integrate the ancient culture of the East with Western civilization and technology, as this will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
V. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heavens": All the galaxies expounded herein are profoundly practical, offering substantial benefits and foundations for Earth and all other myriad planets, as well as for every living being across the cosmos. Furthermore, for those who disrupt the galaxies, it is made clear that this serves as an opportunity for elevation and transformation from another perspective. It should not be deemed as negative or unfavorable; rather, it is a provision of adverse conditions to foster further advancement through karmic circumstances.
VI. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven": It will exert a considerable impact on the future technological civilization. It is hoped that all sentient beings will not view the works and expositions of immortals and Buddhas through the lens of current perspectives and thinking. Instead, they should recognize that these works complement and support the development of a technological civilization, rather than creating any obstacles.
VII. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven": It can be made clear to all sentient beings of the future that the verifications and innovations of the present era are indeed a most truthful aid. They can assist in integrating the ancient civilization of the Yan and Huang emperors of the Eastern Land—such as the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and cultural frameworks—and are certain to enhance the creative advancements of Western science and technology, thereby benefiting all sentient beings and their original spirits.
VIII. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heavens": This chapter elucidates the benevolent grace of heaven and earth, as well as the evolution and validation brought forth by the boundless expanse of the universe. It further expounds on the cosmic benevolence, highlighting how the insignificance of the human world is truly incomparable in comparison. Yet, one must not underestimate one's own energy, for it is precisely this energy that can complement and cooperate with the universe and heaven and earth, thereby achieving transcendence and a return to perfection.
IX. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heavens": The direction elucidated in this work precisely provides the orientation and key points for the future elevation of civilization. Moreover, it offers humanity a complete and practical set of applicable conditions, serving as a foundation for inheritance across countless generations.
Ten. The Benevolent Grace of the Great Dao and the Vast Heaven: This is bestowed through the great benevolent grace of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign Xuanling, who extends care and compassion to all sentient beings in the world of affection. It is precisely for the sentient primordial spirits of the Earth's star system, enabling them to achieve ascent, transcendence, fulfillment, and surpassing within a single lifetime.
11. The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven: The galaxies, constellations, star systems, and zodiacs that have evolved, though named differently across various eras, can serve as a timeless testament for the present 21st century. They will truly benefit all sentient beings and primordial spirits. With a broad and open heart, one can integrate all modes of thought and concepts, thereby achieving elevation.
Twelve. "The Great Dao and the Vast Heavens": All the mysteries composed therein will, in the future, mutually assist human thought. For those who seek to transcend the ten dimensions or beyond the three realms, there are regulations and norms that serve as a guide. These principles genuinely benefit sentient practitioners in their journey of transcendence, enabling them to return and ascend into the vastness: the cosmos, the infinite, and the void worlds!
The above twelve guidelines are the culmination of the painstaking efforts and wisdom of each immortal and Buddha, completed through the arduous labor of divine beings. It is hoped that these long-guarded and profound mysteries will be cherished, and that they may genuinely contribute to the well-being and advancement of human technological civilization. By fostering the growth of future technologies, they are intended to benefit all sentient beings, not to hinder them.
The Venerable Void descends to establish the earthly precepts.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.

## Vice Chairman, Immortal Ma
The Void, the Infinite, the Vast Heaven arrives;  
By divine decree, the Great Dao is arrayed.
The Heavenly Venerable ascends the dais, gathering all with compassion;  
The Great Dao exalts the heart, opening the future yet to come.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the founders of Christianity and Islam, along with the presiding immortals and Buddhas—Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea and the Supreme Master of the Void—have descended to compose the epilogue and preface. This marks a perfect conclusion for *The Great Dao of Haotian* and will also serve as a testament to its validation in the future era of technological civilization.
Therefore, taking this as the foundation, it integrates religious culture with the ancient traditions of the Middle Kingdom and contemporary Western technology. This approach benefits the present while also serving the vast multitude of living beings in the future. It is a blessing for all sentient beings and their original spirits, eternally fostering the growth and elevation of humanity.
From the Southern Heavens descends the Chongxin Hall,  
Where the Lord of Literary Balance, the Sacred Emperor, sets sail.
The Great Dao of Haotian completes the sacred text's purpose,  
Respectfully welcoming the noble carriage to bestow rewards.
The book is completed and submitted to the throne.
Today marks another significant moment for the Chongxin Taoist Center, as the completion of the sixteenth volume of the Great Tao series, *The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven*, fulfills the duties and responsibilities entrusted by Heaven. This achievement embodies the principles of punctuality, trustworthiness, lawfulness, and righteousness, reflecting the unwavering dedication of the Chongxin lineage in accomplishing the divine mission bestowed by Heaven.
It is accomplished step by step, affirmed by the Heavenly Will, acknowledging the diligence of all divine and Buddhist disciples of the Chongxin lineage. Their efforts and sacrifices are indeed genuine and worthy of praise and reward. This, in turn, benefits all sentient beings through education and culture, providing for their survival and upholding the righteous principles of ethics and moral order.
Today, we reverently receive the sacred decree from the Wuji descending upon the hall, which commands the dispatch of the Venerable Celestial of Void-Scribed Brush, the Venerable Celestial of Void-Transmitted Edicts, and the Venerable Celestial of the Great Way of the Silver Brush from our lineage to respectfully welcome the sacred decree from the Wuji to the hall from thirty miles away.
Order the following from our lineage: the Immortal Maidens of Ethereal Assembly, Ethereal Intent, and Ethereal Communion to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree twenty li away; all other deities, along with the cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, shall line up in order to respectfully welcome the descent of the Wuji Sacred Decree into the hall.
The Wuji issues a decree, joyfully bestowing rewards;  
Before the chariot, serving the Mother, virtue's intent shines bright.
Xu Feiqiong descends to the Chongxin Hall; the Immortal Maiden proclaims the sacred decree.
By imperial decree, the supreme celestial edict descends upon the hall; gods and mortals alike bow in reverence!
Imperial Decree, Proclaimed and Read Aloud
Humbly Presented
The Supreme Matriarch of the Wuji, the Great Heavenly Venerable, proclaims by sacred decree:
The Mother resides in the celestial realm of ultimate truth, frequently observing the spiritual cultivation of sentient beings in the southern continent of Jambudvīpa. She manifests numerous great paths and karmic connections, serving as a heavenly ladder for their return to the supreme way. It is her hope that all sentient beings in the mortal world may comprehend the truth, thereby embarking on the journey of transcendence and return. Through her grace, many profound mysteries of the heavenly realm, which are difficult for humanity to fathom, are elucidated.
Thus, following the benevolent decree of the Holy Mother’s heart, Chongxintang has received the sacred mandate to compose the sixteenth volume of the Great Tao series, "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven," which has now been completed. This work is bestowed upon all sentient beings and spiritual children, aiming to elevate their understanding of returning to the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmos. It seeks to enhance their spiritual attainment, enabling them to achieve transcendence and ascend to greater heights of growth and elevation.
The mother's heart is greatly comforted! In the compilation of the "Great Dao Series" for the Chongxin Hall lineage under the Sacred Decree, each volume elucidates the true principles for dissemination. For the treasured island of Taiwan in Jambudvīpa, the creation of the "Great Dao Series" is an unprecedented endeavor, marking the first revelation of celestial secrets. Now, this extraordinary opportunity has indeed been fulfilled.
The completion of the sixteenth volume of the Dadao series, "The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven," has brought immense joy and heartfelt emotion to the Mother. It is only fitting to reward all the deities, Buddhas, and spiritual children of Chongxin for their meritorious contributions, which have greatly pleased the Mother. Furthermore, in her profound delight, the Mother has specially granted all deities and Buddhas of Chongxin a promotion of five ranks, and bestowed upon each spiritual child a reward of two thousand great merits.
It traces back to the three heavenly scriptures: "The Great Tao is Emptiness," "The Great Tao is Limitless," and "The Great Tao is Vast as Heaven." Thus, those who fulfill all diligence shall obtain them in full, while those who achieve less than two-thirds shall receive half. This also reflects the care bestowed by the Mother Heart upon the Chongxin lineage, enabling its promotion and elevation in the future. It is therefore fitting to further propagate and spread the Great Tao throughout the universe and the world.
Furthermore, two jugs of fine nectar were bestowed to be added to the tea in the Chongxin Hall, as a reward to comfort the diligent efforts of all the divine Buddhas and spiritual beings of Chongxin. Their steadfast dedication in completing the works—the uninterrupted series of the Dadao classics—ensures that the teachings are genuinely propagated across the four seas and the universe. This is precisely what the Mother’s heart earnestly hopes and expects!
The Imperial Mother of the Wuji issues a Sacred Decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha's Heart Sect, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, the Revered Heart Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, during the Xu hour, in the year of Jiashen under the Heavenly Cycle.
Excellent! The imperial decree has been proclaimed and promulgated. Congratulations to the Sisterhood of Immortal Ma and its lineage for truly receiving the commendation and merit from the Eternal Imperial Mother of the Wuji. This achievement stems from a karmic opportunity to pioneer the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Realm, thereby benefiting all sentient beings with love and compassion. May goodness increase, elevate, and transcend! With this, I return to the Realm of Principle to deliver the decree. Farewell, everyone!
By Imperial Decree, Chongxin is established to propagate teachings; the Chair of Wenheng conveys the virtue of benevolent intent.
Grateful, I bow in thanks for the grace of the Imperial Mother,  
To receive once more the jade decree of the Vast Heaven.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today marks a profoundly auspicious moment in the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. As a member of Chongxin, we should all feel deeply fortunate and comforted, having truly received the rewards bestowed by our revered teacher, the Wuji Huangmu of Heaven. This is a testament to the diligent efforts and hard work of all the deities, buddhas, and students of Chongxin, yielding fruitful returns.
Just now, we reverently received the Sacred Decree of Wuji descending upon the hall, which has already been promulgated and displayed. Now, we further receive the Jade Decree of Haotian descending upon the hall, commanding the dispatch of the Second and Third Guandi of Wuji from our lineage, along with the City God Emperor of Wuji, to respectfully receive the Jade Decree twenty li away and escort it to the hall.
By decree, the disciples of our lineage—the Bodhisattva of Universal Worthy from the Wuji Realm, the Bodhisattva of Great Strength from the Wuji Realm, and the Goddess of Childbirth from the Wuji Realm—shall respectfully receive the Jade Decree of the Heavenly Emperor at a distance of ten li. All other divine beings and practitioners shall arrange themselves in order, including the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, who shall also line up in sequence to await the arrival.
The August Heaven's Jade Decree descends upon the sacred hall;  
The Golden Palace's virtuous grace nourishes all spirits eternally.
Celestial Venerable Luo once again descends upon Chongxin,  
Bearing the jade decree to bestow divine rewards.
By imperial decree of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, this edict descends upon the Chongxin Hall lineage to be proclaimed. All spirits and mortals bow in reverence!
Imperial Decree Commences Reading
Humbly Presented
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity, decrees:
As the supreme sovereign, I have repeatedly observed that the education and cultivation in Jambudvīpa are implemented with genuine effectiveness. It is my duty to elevate the spirituality and virtue of all living beings. In response to the petitions of the compassionate deities and Buddhas, I am committed to advancing educational and instructional programs, fostering growth and elevation, and guiding beings toward transcendence and return.
Only those who can achieve genuine merit and tangible results are truly anticipated by Heaven! Now, in Taoyuan, Taiwan, the Yichongxintang Temple has been commissioned since the year Bingzi to compose the "Great Dao" series of celestial books. With the completion of the sixteenth volume, "The Vast Heaven of the Great Dao," the mysteries and virtuous blessings of heaven, earth, and the universe are being disseminated.
Granting sentient beings and primordial spirits the ability to attain the advancement of future technological civilization is of paramount importance. Furthermore, it is an essential necessity for the spirituality inherent in all primordial spirits to be fully manifested. This enables integration within the vast cosmos and humanity, fostering growth, elevation, and transcendence for all beings, thereby genuinely allowing goodness to flourish and benefit all.
We are deeply gratified! The submission of *The Great Dao and the Vast Heaven* by the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, serves to manifest the virtuous grace of the Vast Heaven. It also provides a tangible framework and substantial insights for the advancement of future technology, making it truly worthy of being regarded as the foremost among all works. Through the dissemination of the Vast Heaven’s virtuous grace, it offers sentient beings and primordial spirits of this era the means to elevate and transcend themselves.
It is precisely through the advancement of quite progressive thoughts, concepts, and actions that the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Dao can be manifested in the world of sentient beings, which is truly commendable and gratifying! With great joy in Our heart, We hereby reward the devoted deities and Buddhas with five additional ranks of merit. Furthermore, to all students of the Chongxin Academy who have fully participated in the compilation of the work "The Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao," We bestow three thousand great merits.
It also traces back to the three major volumes, *The Great Dao of Emptiness*, *The Great Dao of Infinity*, and *The Great Dao of Haotian*. For those who have completed less than two-thirds of the works, the merit is halved, and the rest follow this principle accordingly. Moreover, in response to this situation, all deities, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin are deemed worthy to receive numerous confirmations and provisions for the future propagation of the Great Dao, which is truly commendable!
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity, has proclaimed the Jade Decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Court of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month in the year of Jiashen, during the hour of Xu.
Aha! Once again, congratulations to all the divine beings of the Chongxin Daoist Center for successfully fulfilling their duties. Their manifestations and confirmations in the Dadao series of books are a testament to the collective efforts and wise guidance of all the deities within the Chongxin lineage, as well as the hard work of the virtuous students. Such dedication and spirit are truly commendable and worthy of celebration. However, due to official duties that call me away, I must swiftly return to the Heavenly Court to deliver my report. I shall visit again another day to trouble you further. Farewell, everyone!
With gratitude, we receive the imperial decree and its rewards,  
Humbly we thank the vast heavens for bestowing such grace.
We are grateful for the presence of all celestial beings and Buddhas,  
gathered together to share in the eternal wisdom of the Great Dao.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today marks another auspicious and splendid day for our lineage, as the sixteenth volume of the Great Tao series, "The Great Tao and the Vast Heaven," has been completed and presented as an offering to the heavens. We reverently give thanks for the boundless compassion bestowed by the Wuji Heavenly Mother and express our deepest gratitude for the profound grace and blessings granted by the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven.
This is a provision of resources for the future promotion and propagation of the Chongxin lineage, granting Chongxin abundant means for dissemination and guidance. Such merit has indeed been bestowed, and thus all devoted students must remain humble and modest. They must not cling to this merit to boast or show off, nor should they lose their equanimity in handling affairs, lest they easily provoke grievances from karmic creditors seeking retribution.
It is hoped that the merits bestowed by Heaven will alleviate the many hardships and sufferings of all students within the Chongxin lineage. It is precisely the benevolent intent of Heaven that one must humble oneself and refrain from clinging to the notion of one’s own exceptional merits, lest such attachments invite numerous troubles. This can easily lead one into peril and adversity!
