Dadao Series — Book 17
English Edition · 大道崇心
◆ Prefaces ◆
The Seventeenth Volume of the Heavenly Texts of the Great Dao Series—The Exalted Heart of the Great Dao, contains numerous perspectives on causes and conditions. The Heavens bring fulfillment to all sentient beings, first examining their foundations and the workings of their hearts and minds. Through the evaluation and verification carried out in accordance with one's own duties, such conditions are applied without distinction to any temple, palace, or hall. Before considering any matter, there must be ample contemplation and methods of application.
If any one condition fails to meet the requirements of Heaven, other methods will inevitably be employed to achieve completion. Through various conditions, teachings are imparted and foundations are verified. Whether one's actions can fulfill the required conditions becomes a test in itself. This process inherently involves numerous transformations, which constitute the deeds of humanity.
It is to fulfill the responsibility and mission of guiding and transforming sentient beings—the vast multitude of living souls—as well as the principal deities of all temples and shrines. When this cannot be achieved, other karmic conditions will arise to mutually bring about fulfillment. Moreover, through the karmic considerations of Heaven, different lineages and affinities are granted to accomplish the same task, thereby achieving completion.
It is quite favorable and perfect; however, if the conditions jointly established by Heaven and the divine beings cannot serve as the foundation, other methods or alternative approaches will inevitably be adopted. Under such circumstances, the weighty responsibilities entrusted by Heaven will first be tested through one's mindset and actions as the foundation.
Whether one possesses wisdom in response depends on the ability to comprehend all states of mind, reactions, wisdom, and actions. Without this capacity, it is impossible to establish a relatively complete sacred duty to carry out. It can be said: How can one understand the execution of all conditions, whether in descending to the mortal realm or within the Council of the Supreme Heaven?
Often, many immortals and Buddhas can clearly understand the importance of tasks and missions. Moreover, among the sacred duties issued by the Heavenly Realm, from the perspective of immortals and Buddhas, what kind of qualities, karma, conditions, and actions the disciples and leaders of their own lineage possess are all taken into consideration.
If an immortal or Buddha within their own lineage is capable of meeting such conditions, they will readily agree to shoulder the weighty responsibilities. After deliberation among all the immortals and Buddhas, if it is deemed feasible, they will unanimously endorse these conditions and the corresponding circumstances, determining how they should be carried out.
Furthermore, in the tasks assigned by the Supreme Heaven, there will be numerous causes and functions set into motion. Regarding such conditions, as recognized and approved by all the assembled immortals and buddhas, those who can shoulder heavy responsibilities may clearly understand: why those who meet the conditions and opportunities of the assembled immortals and buddhas have far more opportunities than others, or than those who do not participate in the assembly of immortals and buddhas.
It also allows for more opportunities to achieve success. Moreover, when all the immortals and Buddhas in collective deliberation lack such energy (endurance), they will inevitably seek those who are destined, capable, or qualified to shoulder the heavy responsibilities and carry them out. This mode serves as the foundation for fulfilling the tasks decreed by Heaven.
When opportunities are granted to those with predestined conditions, it serves as a foundation for fulfilling the decreed conditions set by Heaven. If the immortals and buddhas have already agreed in advance, but the temple leaders and all disciples and believers fail to cooperate, making it impossible to carry out the original sacred duties, further conditions will repeatedly arise for collective deliberation.
Such conditions are precisely meant to sift out those who are truly capable of bearing great responsibilities. Regarding the qualifications of the divine beings and the roles of all personnel in various sects, temples, and shrines within the mortal realm, when it comes to discerning whether they can accept the sacred duties and missions bestowed by the heavens, careful consideration is also given to all divine beings.
If it is difficult to achieve and one is unable to fulfill the task, it becomes an embarrassment before the Immortals and Buddhas. At times, it may even implicate the merits and deeds of the Immortals and Buddhas themselves, and in the future, it will serve as the basis for determining promotions or demotions. Given such conditions and circumstances, how should one proceed when faced with the various sacred duties decreed by Heaven, along with the missions to be carried out?
There will be numerous agendas for meetings, and all responsibilities will be carried out through delegation. This is executed under the joint participation of immortals and Buddhas, forming the conditions for action. Thus, it can be said: this is a project aligned with the objectives of the Heavenly Realm, where a sacred task is carried out with clear goals, paving the way for the causes and conditions to become fully competent in the future.
It must be clearly understood: the execution of a project designated by Heaven is of utmost importance, just as the execution of a project designated in the human world. If a designated project cannot be carried out, it is necessary to compensate for all losses incurred by the original designation. This principle applies equally to the human world and to projects designated by Heaven, serving as the foundation for future achievements.
If, within the temples, shrines, or halls of immortals and Buddhas, not all promised deities can be fulfilled, it will inevitably affect all conditions related to merit evaluations and the balance of promotions and demotions. This is to ensure the execution of the divine work of Heaven. From this, one can understand how all immortals and Buddhas distinguish themselves among their affiliated temples, shrines, halls, or religious sects!

##Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu
July 9, 2004, the twenty-second day of the fifth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday).
With unwavering diligence and courage, without negligence or oversight, firmly resolve to accomplish the task.
◆ Prefaces ◆
The heavens assess the conditions: can one stand alone and shoulder responsibility? Through one’s actions and deeds, one comes to understand everything—what is one’s own state at this very moment? Yet too many human leaders believe they possess extraordinary abilities, unaware of their many shortcomings. Under such circumstances and conditions, how can they possibly achieve upward growth, elevation, and transcendence?
It becomes very easy to incur divine retribution and the withdrawal of sacred duties and missions. Moreover, can one truly humble oneself to serve as the foundation for becoming a pillar of talent in the eyes of Heaven? That is to say, how much merit and virtue have been cultivated and extended to others? And how does Heaven assess these conditions? What is truly important is whether this karma can be further nurtured and expanded for greater growth and dissemination.
The Scripture of Reverent Heart was appraised by the Supreme Heavens and further affirmed repeatedly through numerous conferences of the celestial beings and buddhas of the Supreme Heavens. All its various conditions serve as the foundation for the future promotion of educational and cultural endeavors. Thus, the immortal and buddha teachers of the Reverent Heart lineage, along with the immortal and buddha teachers of all heavens, jointly participated in the composition of the educational works of the Dadao series celestial scriptures.
First, it is due to the guidance and capabilities imparted by the immortals and Buddhas; second, it depends on the conditions and the determination and perseverance of the principal; third, it relies on the accumulation of merits and resources from the principal’s past lives; fourth, it involves selecting whether the principal can humble themselves and, in recent years, be promoted as an outstanding candidate in the celestial assembly for further advancement.
This is not without reason, nor is it merely a recognition of the leader's considerable merits, but also an affirmation of all the divine beings of Chongxin, as well as an acknowledgment of the unity among Chongxin's students. It can be clearly understood: without the divine beings and the leader themselves, it would have been fundamentally impossible for the Chongxin lineage to possess such conditions and opportunities.
Regarding the sacred duties bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, whether they involve the Heavenly responsibilities and missions or the projects directed toward the Heavenly Realm, the mandate for the present time is one that permits only success and absolutely no failure. In today's world, the only lineage capable of composing the Celestial Texts of the Great Tao series is the Chongxin Sect. This is an exceedingly rare affinity within the human realm.
After nearly two decades of time, none of the Confucian sacred traditions or contemporary religions possess such conditions! Regarding the responsibilities and mission borne by the Chongxin lineage, it is essential to move forward courageously without pause, for this is the correct path. The repeated and insistent demands of the immortals and Buddhas must be carried out!
Why must we unite in heart and mind to carry out and propagate this? This is not without reason; it is precisely due to this layer of cause and condition, this connection, that all the causes and conditions for the "Path of Reverent Heart" are fostered to grow and achieve fruition. As the immortals and Buddhas have said: this is a task to be carried out for countless generations. What humanity sees is merely the present moment in time and space.
Furthermore, regarding all the actions of people in this world, if one can understand what their own shortcomings and deficiencies are, they can then address and compensate for these shortcomings and deficiencies. This will enable them, in the future, to transcend and achieve a legacy that endures for generations to come. This is a growth and transcendence that one can grasp and master, and thus, it is essential to strive diligently towards it.
The revelation of the "Heavenly Judgment" elucidates the actions, mindsets, responses, and wisdom of sentient beings themselves, and is also deeply connected to the immortals and Buddhas! From this, one can understand why some are capable of shouldering the great responsibilities entrusted by Heaven. To be accountable to Heaven, it is essential to possess a genuine foundation in education and culture—this is the true path!
Do not assume that your actions and conduct are unrelated to the inherent conditions of your own lineage. It should be clear that religion operates as a managed system. If it fails to succeed, it may be relatively easy for followers to leave. But for the immortals, buddhas, and those in charge, is departure equally easy? It is, in fact, exceedingly difficult!
To put it plainly, success means the grand undertaking of a thousand years—it is only right! If one fails, not only will the immortals, Buddhas, and the leaders themselves be sacrificed in this lifetime, but even the next lifetime would not suffice to repay the debt. Everyone must understand this profound and interconnected causality, where each link is tightly bound to the next. What can be truly and genuinely accomplished transcends the universe, the void, and attains the boundless freedom of the Wuji.
The advancement of technological civilization to enhance the blessings and opportunities for all sentient beings is precisely the divine decree issued by the celestial administrative units to the mortal world. Through the realms of Wuji, Xukong, and Sanqing, all sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and venerable beings unite in this cosmic cycle to elevate humanity, transcending distinctions among all religions, including Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
In two thousand years, the Earth's star system will be capable of relocating to other star systems or transforming other systems. The technological civilization that emerges will serve as genuine proof of this potential. If the Heavenly Realm wishes to advance this realization to the 21st century, it will manifest through the "virtual reality" of the current spacetime conditions.
Virtual Reality: Currently, there are already instances where "borrowed" extraterrestrial technological civilizations are being showcased, aiming to elevate the greater cosmos to a higher level. This will be demonstrated in the coming two decades through advancements in transportation technology, where vehicles will not only traverse the ground but also soar through the skies and explore the depths of the oceans.

The Wuji Decree is bestowed upon the hall;  
Before the carriage, serving the mother, virtue is exalted.
The Immortal Maiden respectfully congratulates Chongxin for its appreciation, continuing the grand path of the series.
With reverence, we heed the Mother's command, as Her divine presence descends upon the Yichi Chongxin Hall to proclaim the sacred decree. Both deities and mortals bow in humble prostration!
Imperial Decree: Commence the Reading
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the celestial realm of Li Tian, offering the sentient beings of Jambudvipa a path of ascension and transcendence, granting them the ladder of the great Dao for greater growth and opportunity. She not only hopes for their growth and elevation within a single lifetime but also desires a broader expansion and promotion of religious education and teachings. This is the deepest aspiration of the Mother’s heart!
In all educational courses, the truths of heaven and earth are invoked as the foundation to aid all sentient beings in returning to transcendence and achieving growth. The foremost among the halls of education under the Mother's heart is the Yichong Xintang in Taoyuan, Taiwan. Through the "Great Dao Series" celestial texts, it faithfully provides benefits to the original spirits.
In this present era, the sentient beings and primordial spirits have achieved growth and widespread transformation. Each year, they have attained remarkable accomplishments in their trials, bringing great comfort to the Mother's heart! Moreover, the completion of the sixteenth volume of the Dadao series—"The Vast Heaven of the Great Dao"—has yielded merits worthy of high praise and commendation, truly deserving of affirmation!
This extraordinary set of conditions and affinities should next connect with the seventeenth volume of the Celestial Texts in the Great Tao series, titled "The Celestial Text of the Reverent Heart in the Great Tao." It serves to elevate all the affinities of the Reverent Heart Hall, further promoting the Great Tao by providing abundant resources and nourishment to ensure fulfillment. This enables sentient beings and spiritual souls to benefit, grow, and return to their origins.
The decree appoints the Ancient Buddha of Dipankara and the Ancient Buddha of Daoji Nanping as the primary immortals and buddhas, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as supporting immortals and buddhas. Upon receipt of this decree, the work shall commence without delay, aiming for early completion to promote the expansion of the "Great Dao." This is specifically aligned with the karmic growth of the "Chongxin Lineage."
A mother's heart is filled with deep anticipation, hoping that all divine beings and children of Chongxin will unite their efforts and work together to serve as the vanguard in pioneering the Great Path. By doing so, they can achieve self-fulfillment and guide countless spiritual children to return and transcend. In this world of sentient beings, all aspirations and conditions can be realized through the benevolent grace bestowed by Heaven.

All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks another profoundly auspicious opportunity for learning within the Chongxin lineage. It further manifests the boundless grace of Wuji and Haotian, bringing to fruition all karmic connections within the Chongxin lineage.
Elevating the thoughts and concepts of sentient beings and their primordial spirits serves as an opportunity for growth. It also presents a new outlook for future times and spaces, manifesting in the world of sentient beings and further expanding into the vast celestial realms, benefiting the achievements of all enlightened sages and buddhas among sentient beings.
Having just respectfully received the Supreme Ultimate's sacred decree, which has now been fully proclaimed, we now humbly welcome the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven to this hall for proclamation. It is commanded that the following deities of our lineage: the Supreme Ultimate Emperor of Culture and Literature, the Supreme Ultimate City God Emperor, and the Supreme Ultimate Venerable King of Broad Compassion, shall proceed twenty li away to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven and escort it to this hall.

The Imperial Commissioner descends once more,

By Imperial Decree, the Heavenly Jade Edict descends upon the Chongxin Lineage to be proclaimed, with gods and mortals bowing in reverence!
Imperial Decree Proclaimed
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystic Divinity, proclaims by Imperial Decree:
I, as the supreme sovereign, am dedicated to uplifting all sentient beings in Jambudvipa through spiritual teachings. By proclaiming the will of Heaven and embodying the Heavenly Way as my guiding principles, I strive to elevate every potential cause and condition toward ascension and transcendence. In the present era, this is manifested through the elevation of the Confucian Divine Teaching, enabling the Confucian Sacred Teaching to be more widely propagated throughout the universe.
As the virtuous influence spreads and descends, all is abundantly fulfilled. Now, at the Yichong Xintang in Taoyuan, Taiwan, the dedication to composing the Dadao series of books truly brings Us immense comfort and joy. It is a blessing to have a lineage that steadfastly upholds sincerity and commitment to Heaven, consistently striving to build and promote these teachings.
This is precisely what I admire and commend. Now, the Chongxin lineage is able to compose the "Great Tao" series of celestial books, which further manifest and bring to completion the virtues and blessings of Heaven and Earth, the Vast Heaven, the Wuji, and the Void. Even more remarkably, they guide and ferry sentient beings with affection, enabling them to grow and benefit in the time and space of the present era.
Our hearts are greatly pleased! It is only fitting that we once again bestow upon the Chongxin Hall the seventeenth volume of the Dadao series, the celestial book, titled "The Exalted Heart of the Great Dao," for their authorship. In the future, there shall be greater validation and promotion. To all the deities, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin who have toiled diligently, and to all who have come together in unity, this is a tribute to the steadfast dedication and unwavering resolve of the Sect Leader, Li Bi, and is truly commendable!
The decree appoints the Ancient Buddha of Dipamkara and the Ancient Buddha of Daoji from Nanping as the primary immortals and buddhas, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as supporting immortals and buddhas. Upon the arrival of this decree, the compilation shall commence promptly to ensure early completion and promulgation for the benefit of the world. This is to advance the propagation of the Great Dao and promote the veneration of the heart, thereby truly enabling sentient beings to receive blessings and attain rewards.

Namo to all beings as Tathagata,

The Preface to the Exalted Heart of the Great Way comes forth in words,  
Celebrating the opening of the True Buddha’s Heart School.
Preface
Preface to the Preface
Therefore, the Daodao series of works, which are guided by a volume of heavenly scriptures and can receive the affirmation and appreciation of the Heavenly Realm, are truly capable of elevating the sentient primordial spirits, providing them with truly abundant resources, and furthering this transformative influence.
To achieve transcendence, ascension, surpassing, and fulfillment is to truly perform the function of integration. It also serves as a reminder to celebrate order, so it may be said: there is a rather certain karmic cause for growth.
A preface is an opening.
Moreover, it can reveal the complete causal structure, bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the human world. It becomes clear that this integrates the principles of "Buddhism," the norms of "Daoism," and the teachings of "Confucianism," while also aligning with the unfolding of the "Return Home" causality, and further fulfilling the universal love of "Christianity."
Through the human world, the realm of future achievements ascends. It is within the 21st century that completion, growth, and reliance are realized, embodying the true nature of reality! Moreover, in relation to all initial causes and conditions, it thoroughly comprehends all functions of the present world, as well as elevates and transcends within all religious teachings and courses of cultivation.
Function of the Preface
The selection of the Chongxin Sect lineage to stand out among the rest is not without reason, nor is it merely due to the writings in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." It is, moreover, a rare opportunity and pivotal moment across millennia, bestowed from the highest heavens.
Moreover, from all the causal conditions that can lead to achievement, it is precisely through numerous trials and examinations that one verifies the virtue of "propagating the Great Dao and promoting reverence of the heart." This not only benefits oneself but also benefits others, which is the true path!
Namo Amitabha Buddha, descending to inscribe the preface.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha Heart School, the Great Dao Hall of the Ultimate Void, the Chongxin Hall of Imperial Decree.

Aha! Yet another extraordinary and rare opportunity has unfolded to compose this work, and I shall impose upon the Chongxin lineage for a while to discuss future promotion and propagation. Farewell, everyone!

September 3, 2004, the nineteenth day of the seventh lunar month, Year of Jiashen (Friday)
Homage to the supreme affinity in the world,  
The Medicine Master’s compassionate aid extends endlessly to all living beings.
The Tathagata Buddha descends upon Chongxin,  
A celebratory ode to the Great Dao of Chongxin.
Praise and Admiration
Praise is what the world calls commendation; for a lineage to grow by drawing upon all the resources and opportunities bestowed by Heaven, it must endure numerous trials and tribulations. This reveals the unwavering determination and perseverance of the lineage’s leader, who consistently produces works and disseminates the grace and blessings of Heaven into the human world.
With a mindset and goal of a harmonious world, we should work together to achieve mutual fulfillment. Such favorable conditions are meant to be integrated into human society. In striving for the perfection and harmony of all religions, we should transcend distinctions and embrace a universal perspective, aligning with the impartial virtue of heaven that bestows its grace equally upon all faiths.
In Praise of Praise, it is said:
This is a series of heavenly texts from the True Buddha Heart School and the Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect lineage, which clearly dissect the resources of heaven and earth. By understanding the world of sentient beings, it becomes evident that the human world is not limited to a single religion. This allows for a stable foundation for overall faith and spiritual refuge. If this were the case, the Heavens would not need to bestow so many religious affinities.
It can be understood that religious faith should embody equality and fraternity, with mutual fulfillment. When all original spirits integrate under the conditions of faith and belonging, they can harmonize within heaven and earth, thereby mutually supporting the conditions for nurturing life. This aligns precisely with the "justice and equality" that the Divine expects and values.
Praise upon Praise
Regarding the Yichichongxin Sect within the "Dadao Series" of writings, the essence of Buddhism is consistently employed, while also understanding that the overall structure of "mind, thought, and consciousness" is elucidated through innovative writing methods. This serves to complement the profound principles of Buddhist doctrine, enabling sentient beings and primordial spirits of the present era to gain clarity.
It directly enables a thorough and authentic construction of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," while fostering greater harmony and equality among all religions—be they Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam. This is precisely what the Heavenly Realm aspires and hopes for. It can be said that the Dadao Celestial Books authored by Chongxin elucidate the true celestial mysteries in their entirety!
Namo Bhaisajyaguru Tathagata, bestowing praise and reward upon
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha Heart School, the Great Dao Court of the Wuji, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the twenty-eighth day of the fifth lunar month, during the Xu hour (7–9 p.m.), in the Jiashen year of the Tianyun cycle.
Alas! Yet another grand juncture unfolds, a moment for the Dharma to flourish. That I may descend to revere the heart and offer praise is indeed a joy. I must linger awhile to share in this delight, that we may together recount the destined opportunities for future propagation. I thank you all for your diligent efforts. Until we meet again!
Chapter Eight: United as One
##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
September 7, 2004, the twenty-third day of the seventh month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The Southern Continent writes yet another tome,  
A peerless truth, uniquely profound.
The Great Sun Tathagata descends upon the heart of reverence,  
With hymns of praise, sincerity is unveiled and celebrated.
Ode to Celebration
Song of Praise and Celebration
It is with great joy and delight that we reflect upon the works of Songhe, which convey the extraordinary karmic connections of a particular lineage. Through the divine texts of the Confucian tradition descending to the mortal realm, one can comprehend the unique nature and spiritual resonance of the "Great Tao Heavenly Texts" series. The successive works descending for the "True Buddha Heart Lineage" are not without profound reason!
It can also penetrate the mysteries of all cosmic star systems, as well as comprehend the actual processes. For the knowledge and wisdom lacking in the human world, the causes and conditions that have been difficult to elucidate since ancient times are precisely what the Chongxin lineage undertakes to disseminate, expound, and compile, thus presenting a rare and opportune chance along with the corresponding causes and conditions.
Ode to Ode and Felicitation
Moreover, it is a source of deep comfort and gratitude! In the 21st century, this profound connection represents the culmination of all that is great under heaven, chosen by the divine for those with truly extraordinary affinity. As the foremost under heaven, Chongxin, and the writings of the Master of Reason's Brush, also acclaimed as the foremost under heaven, the celestial book series shall endure eternally in both the heavens and the mortal realm.
This work serves as a testament to the process of verifying truth through future technology. It conveys the grace of the Divine to all sentient beings, enabling them to ascend and return, transcending karma and seizing opportunities for growth through fulfillment and elevation. Moreover, it complements the shortcomings of all religious scriptures through the "True Buddha Heart School" and the Great Dao series, making it truly precious!
In Praise and Acclaim
The resources for the verification of technological civilization are indeed continuous and enduring, extending far into the future. This is precisely what the Dadao series, in its composition in the 21st century, has undergone—350 great kalpas of genuine trials and validations. It offers humanity a profound insight into the future technological civilization.
This is the benevolent grace of Heaven, as well as the benevolent grace of the immortals and Buddhas, and even more so the benevolent grace of the Chongxin lineage. Through this function, we can mutually support, mutually give thanks, and mutually uplift one another. It is precisely the causal condition manifested by Heaven to achieve this, fostering the growth of all virtuous and auspicious causes and conditions that benefit both oneself and all sentient beings.
Namo Mahavairocana Buddha descends to bestow a celebratory verse upon
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Academy of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
On the twenty-eighth day of the fifth lunar month, during the Xu hour, in the year of Jiashen under the cycle of Heavenly Fortune.
Aha! Yet another grand and sublime connection of causes and conditions, capable of linking together the virtues of heaven and earth, the virtues of the vast heavens, the virtues of the ultimate void, the virtues of the cosmic emptiness, and the virtues of the great universe—this is precisely the "Great Dao Reveres the Heart"! Gratitude for accompanying the writing, affirming the sublime causes and conditions of revering the heart. Without taking a moment to linger, it would not be truly satisfying, so let us also meet with old friends!
Episode Nine: A Solid Foundation
## Immortal Maiden of the Colorful Clouds in the Void
September 10, 2004, the twenty-sixth day of the seventh lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday).
From the void, fate descends to revere the heart; spirits gather upon the platform to meet the sentient.
The Immortal Maiden gives thanks to the heavens for bestowing the Great Dao, reverently walking the path of education with a sincere heart.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, we are honored by the presence of the three sacred Buddhas—Namo Amitabha Buddha, Namo Medicine Buddha, and Namo Vairocana Buddha—who have descended upon Chongxin Hall to compose the preface, praises, and hymns for *The Great Dao Chongxin*. Once again, old friends have gathered together in this hall.
Being able to freely express our thoughts and resonate with one another brings both comfort and joy. For all the divine beings of Chongxin, this offers greater support and protection. It becomes clear that "The Great Dao of Emptiness," "The Great Dao of Infinity," "The Great Dao of Haotian," and "The Great Dao of Chongxin" are interconnected through a remarkable and consistent affinity, representing a continuous lineage that nurtures and elevates the Chongxin tradition.
This is a rare and profound opportunity across the ages, a remarkable affinity that validates the connection for all divine beings, sages, students, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Institute. We should all cherish this moment, as after centuries, we have gathered once again to reflect upon this journey. How profound it is to contemplate! The affinities in the human realm hold boundless potential for achievement, and the path of return is equally infinite!
Chapter Ten: Steady and Sure
##Venerable Void - Homage to the Ancient Buddha of Void, Supreme Virtue of Humans and Devas
September 17, 2004, the fourth day of the eighth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
Namo, all beings proclaim the Tathagata;  
The Lamp-Lighting Heart-Dharma carries sentient beings.
The Ancient Buddha ascends to compose the Great Dao Scripture;  
The heart of reverence begins, opening the origins of cause and effect.
The Dao venerates the heart, the origin of all beginnings.
The entire collection of the Dadao series is a crystallization of the collective efforts of celestial immortals and buddhas from all heavens. It has been nurtured through the profound grace of the Supreme Heaven, the boundless benevolence of the Primordial Mother of the Infinite, and the majestic virtue of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven. Only through such divine favor have "The Void of the Great Dao," "The Infinity of the Great Dao," and "The Vast Heaven of the Great Dao" been seamlessly woven together into "The Reverent Heart of the Great Dao."
Through this particular cause and condition, a complete series has been integrated, enabling the True Buddha Heart Sect and the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall to produce a holistic collection of heavenly texts. This is not an achievement that ordinary individuals can attain, as it is established through the selection and manifestation across 350 great kalpas (epochs), choosing one who can harmonize the principles of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism.
It is precisely by recognizing the common essence of the three teachings, incorporating the principles of Christianity and Islam, and uniting them to demonstrate the shared origin of the five religions. This is not only for the benefit of sentient beings in the present era but also for the grand undertaking of future generations—the revival of the Confucian sacred tradition in the world. This serves as the most crucial condition.
Initial Conditions of Causality and Opportunity
Since the ascension of the Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Radiance and Exalted God, there has been a greater expectation and vision for the Confucian Divine Religion. Over the past one to two thousand years, the groundwork for the Confucian Divine Religion has already been laid, enabling the establishment of educational and cultural curricula that have spread widely throughout the human world.
This pertains to the significant support and substantial development that the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven has extended to all Confucian religious traditions since His ascension to the throne. It further clarifies: Can Confucian religious traditions be revived across the entire universe? This, in turn, raises the question for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land: Can they achieve genuine elevation and transcendence for the future world?
Therefore, after ascending the throne, he further pursued equality and universal love toward all religions. By establishing the entire system of "Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam," he aimed to fulfill all opportunities required by Heaven, thoroughly comprehending and conveying the divine will to the mortal world for its growth.
It is clear that among all the societies of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, it is relatively quicker to achieve the reception of the divine will from Heaven. This is because it can be conveyed through the "Transmission of Heavenly Truths," which also summons the celestial beings and Buddhas from the upper realms to descend and address all the ignorance of sentient beings. It is precisely under such conditions that this analysis is made.
The Function of the Original Cause
Why, then, does this condition manifest more rapidly than in Western nations? It is because the ability to apply the interactive process of communion with divine beings allows one to perceive in the present moment the boundless compassion, grace, and original intent of Heaven. The condition of "Heavenly Truth Transmission" is thus exceptionally profound and extraordinary!
Thus, I, the Master (the Ancient Buddha of Nama Burning Lamp), along with the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoist Ji, the Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Primordial Lord, and nearly thirty other immortals and Buddhas, deliberated on how to promote the Confucian Divine Religion in the future. Additionally, the Grand Chairman, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, had just assumed this position at that time.
We are gathered to deliberate on how, in the future, the Confucian tradition and its sacred teachings should carry forward the great mission of the Sage's path. Furthermore, we reflect on the accomplishments achieved over the past two thousand years. By gaining clarity on what the future holds, we can, in the present moment, elevate all sentient beings with sincere hearts, thereby fulfilling what is essential to the system of the Sage's path.
The Original and Sublime Work on Causality
This scripture was deliberated and concluded upon by all present immortals and buddhas, then submitted to the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity of the Mysterious Firmament, at the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven and the Hall of Celestial Clouds. After reviewing it, the Supreme Deity was greatly pleased and personally approved the two works: "Records of the Peach Banquet" and "Precious Records of the Grotto Abyss."
Leading the devoted phoenix scribes to mutually verify and uplift, the entire process is conveyed to the mortal realm through the phoenix pen, as recorded in the sacred texts. This allows all sentient beings in the world of emotions to understand the primary prophecies bestowed within the Confucian School of Sacred Teachings. Thus, it can be observed that these events have already transpired over a century ago!
Thus began the initial cause and condition. In the past, all the immortals and buddhas who had jointly deliberated would establish their teachings after the future founding of the Republic of China. The process of manifesting and transforming the sacred gate system in Taiwan would first be constructed entirely through the "Yixin She Leshan Tang" in Penghu, and then propagated to the "Xinmin Tang" in Yilan. This signifies that immortals and buddhas expound the teachings in every direction and establish halls in every place.
This means: the process through which the Confucian tradition and the sacred system respond and manifest is conveyed through divine writing. It can be said that all sacred works and duties brought down to the mortal realm are established through the collective efforts of numerous sages, deities, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings. This serves as a foundational project for the sacred system!
Future revisions shall be discussed and agreed upon collectively.
Around the year 1968, through a joint assembly of the founders of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, it was collectively decided before the presence of the Limitless Heavenly Mother (the Luminous God) that the responsibility would be undertaken by the Buddha, with the assistance of the two sages of Confucianism and Taoism—Confucius and the Heavenly Lord of the Dao and its Virtue—for all religions, using the Taiwan region as the base.
The future of Taiwan lies in elevating the human realm through the principles of Buddhism, guiding with the essence of Daoism to enhance the conditions for the purification of all beings, and pacifying the world through the Confucian ideal of the "Great Unity" as articulated by Confucius in the "Li Yun" chapter. By embracing the non-action approach of "treat the aged of your own family in a manner befitting their venerable age and extend this treatment to the aged of other families; treat the young of your own family in a manner befitting their tender age and extend this treatment to the young of other families," such affinities are mutually fulfilled.
It can be understood that during the collective discussions among immortals and buddhas at the time, there was a group dedicated to affairs in the Nanyang region. They had long recognized the role of spirit writing, though its flourishing there was slightly less prominent compared to Taiwan. Despite this, in Nanyang, such conditions were precisely met with numerous affinities, enabling the establishment and growth of the Confucian Sacred School.
Within the auspicious conditions of causes and conditions
These conditions are precisely why the nations in the Southeast Asian region have developed into future "Moral Education" associations. Their opportunities for propagating and transforming society are quite flourishing, and they spare no effort in promoting moral teachings, aiding the poor, providing medical assistance, and offering coffins for the deceased. Through these various charitable deeds, many people have come to participate in the educational influence of the "Moral Education" associations, creating a significant impact.
This is precisely why the future integration of all sacred systems originates from here. At that time in Taiwan, it was the Shengxian Hall in Taichung that undertook the compilation, with Saint Scribe Yang serving as the principal medium. All karmic connections were thus elevated to a higher level, precisely because the two celestial books, "Journeys to Hell and Heaven," were composed at the Shengxian Hall.
It is comparable to all the precept treasures of reward for good and punishment for evil in the present age. Based on the principle of rewarding good and punishing evil, it enables sentient beings to understand that between heaven and earth, there exist the two realms of "heaven and hell." At the same time, it has guided many sentient beings toward virtuous connections, achieving commendable merits and demonstrating excellent efficacy.
However, in the search for all the conditions of the time, as well as through both open and discreet investigations to find those truly capable of representing Heaven in spreading its teachings, the goal was to implement and realize these conditions for dissemination. This would enable all beings to transcend in both mind and spirit. Over a total of five years in Jambudvīpa, the Bodhisattva Xianhui conducted these open and discreet investigations.
Identifying Talents through Open Inquiry and Discreet Investigation
Regarding those who may serve as supporting conditions, all are reported to the Heavenly Sovereign for selection. This process has undergone: joint deliberation by the founders of the Three Teachings, leading to the establishment of the "Zhengyi Hall" in the Southern Cloud Palace, followed by the subsequent founding of the "Honghua Hall" in the Northern Cloud Palace. Furthermore, with Dharma-illuminating Bodhisattva as the sacred officeholder, the first—assumed the role of presiding mentor to guide and transform the human world.
Therefore, with the Venerable Ananda Bodhisattva, Chairman of the Mahayana Monastery of the Western Heaven, as the founding master, and with the Venerable Shakyamuni Buddha, our original teacher, as the supreme guide, the foundation and conditions for all future fulfillment were established. Through the publication of the "Sacred Truth Magazine" in the north, and the subsequent branching out from the "Sage Hall" in the central region into the "Bright Righteousness Hall" and the "Phoenix Friends Magazine," the paths diverged accordingly.
Originally intended to serve as the unified foundation for all sacred sects, it also shared the affinity of being one of Taiwan's three largest sacred sect systems, jointly promoted by the "Sages Magazine" and "Luan You Magazine" in central Taiwan. Soon after, the Sage Hall branched out into the "Sheng De Hall" and others, gradually expanding from a single root into many branches. Furthermore, the "Sacred Principle Magazine" was renamed "Rao Zhi Magazine" in accordance with divine decree.
Through the vicissitudes of human affairs.
Although the "Shengxian Hall" still exists, its educational efforts have yielded the same results as the "Shengde Hall." Moreover, the "Shengli Magazine" was earlier renamed by the Heavens as the "Raozhi Magazine," serving as a unifying platform for all conditions. Consequently, the system of the Sacred Gate has undergone adjustments over the course of nearly thirty years.
All personnel changes serve as a means of selection and division. Some of these are undertaken solely by the Sacred Virtue Hall, which also depends on all causes and conditions. It is precisely these that can shape the future of the Sacred Gate system—the future masters. At that time, there was no such concept or practice, and thus, the Sacred Scribe Yang Sheng also lacked this line of thinking.
If one could establish a new lineage in the present era, then in the past, one would not have turned to esoteric Buddhism seeking breakthroughs, nor would the sacred duties of the Sage's School have been halted. This is a matter of the cyclical nature of time. Had such fulfillment been possible back then, the Confucian Sage’s School would not have suffered a discontinuity, and its inadequacies and shortcomings would not have persisted.
With such karmic conditions in place, a talent capable of becoming a master for future generations entered the path of breakthrough and accomplishment in Vajrayana Buddhism. These conditions were also set by Heaven, serving as a basis for later adjustments, forming a misalignment in the karmic fabric of time and space—both difficult to change and utterly inevitable.
The origins and causes are vastly different,  
Yet all human deeds are worthy of reverence.
With the cycle of time and space as its foundation,  
Establishing the school and lineage responds to practical achievements.
The Great Way begins with reverence of the heart,  
From initial causes and conditions, actions unfold.
Elaborating step by step, what can achieve the salvation of many?
This verse is shared with all fellow students of goodwill; what happens next? That shall be revealed in our next meeting. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Eleven: Propagation and Expansion
## Immortal Maiden of the Colored Clouds in the Void
September 21, 2004, the eighth day of the eighth month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The Limitless, selfless, acts through non-action;  
The ways of immortals, humans, and sages converge as one.
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform, gathering all beings with compassion;  
The Great Dao esteems the heart, this marks the very first assembly.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the principal authoring immortal Buddha of "Chongxin of the Great Dao," the Great Patriarch of our lineage, Namo Ancient Dipamkara Buddha, has descended to compose an analysis of the "Initial Causes and Conditions." This exposition of the causes and conditions from a century ago provides a remarkably clear and profound elucidation for the Chongxin lineage, enabling its application and propagation!
In the future, when it can be verified for all, there will be numerous opportunities for elevation and fulfillment. It is hoped that all virtuous students will deeply appreciate the care and protection bestowed by the Heavenly Will upon Chongxin, and should cherish this rare and precious opportunity of affinity. Only then can it be considered true to its nature! Today’s sacred decree is only the first half; the remainder will be left for the next occasion, which promises to be even more splendid. Let us reflect carefully and wait with patience!
Chapter Twelve: Delivering All Sentient Beings
## The Celestial Venerable of the Void, The Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance
September 24, 2004, the eleventh day of the eighth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The multitude of living beings in Nanping are filled with compassion;  
Daoji unites hearts together in shared sincerity.
The Ancient Buddha bestowed the Great Dao scriptures, a truly sublime and predestined opportunity.
The Dao exalts the heart, and the conditions are exceptionally auspicious.
The Confucian Sacred Teaching: By relying on the role of the Sacred Hall system, one can clearly understand the functions of all temples, shrines, and religious practices in Taiwan. Furthermore, within all Confucian divine teachings, when aligned with the Sacred Gate system, there will be greater support and fulfillment. It becomes evident that the requirements for orthodox spirit-writing mediums are no longer the same as in the past.
It can be said: the role is no longer one that only the top scholars, the third-place examinees, or provincial graduates of the past could fulfill. Now, as long as one can learn to read and write, one can meet the requirements to serve as a spirit-writing medium. Therefore, in modern times, there are increasingly more who lack the ability to compose poetry or match tonal patterns in couplets. In the sacred texts produced through spirit-writing, there is indeed a deficiency in literary refinement.
In the choice of words and phrasing, it is difficult to achieve excellence. Consequently, when it comes to promoting the sacred teachings, it becomes impossible to present a fresh and expansive interpretation that resonates with the aspirations of people today. Instead, it may invite criticism from future generations, who will find it hard to recognize or endorse such actions. Spanning two thousand years of time and space, this is the sorrow of the sacred tradition!
Causes and conditions begin to extend and continue.
For the same reason, when it comes to Taiwan, it can be said that those truly capable of stepping onto the stage do not exceed thirty individuals, or even as few as just over ten. Moreover, in the training and understanding of spirit-writing mediums, there is a lack of clarity regarding how they should act and how they should shoulder the great responsibilities entrusted by Heaven.
Some may think that becoming a spirit-writing medium is quite simple, as it merely involves distinguishing between different aptitudes and conditions. What can be observed is that, within the role of a spirit-writing medium in the rise and decline of a temple, the essential qualities required are simply a matter of how they are demanded. In the Confucian Sacred Sect system, there are no true guidelines or training programs in place.
How can one truly train a superior spirit medium? In this regard, if we consider the current spirit mediums in Taiwan, who number no fewer than five hundred, how many can truly be considered spirit mediums with a genuine mission? The answer is none! They are merely trained by various temples and halls in their own ways, with little reliance on a genuine training system.
The Sublime Process of Growth Through Causes and Conditions
Regarding the qualifications for a principal medium, what should be done? And how should one meet the responsibilities required by Heaven? There are none—it merely depends on the needs of each temple hall! In training principal mediums, it is difficult to establish a broad, guiding framework. If training is conducted in this manner, how can one produce an exceptional principal medium? Impossible indeed!
It is under such conditions that one can fully comprehend the learning process of a spirit-writing medium. It requires the accumulation of extensive training resources, as well as diligent effort in mastering poetry, literature, and etiquette. Moreover, the ability to integrate the classics of the Three Teachings and the essence of the Five Religions makes it clear: what truly constitutes the qualifications of a spirit-writing medium?
By examining the literary compositions and characters produced through various spirit-writing methods, one can immediately discern the qualifications and inherent qualities involved! This pertains specifically to the duties and mission of the principal spirit-medium: they must achieve thorough understanding and clarity. Moreover, a superior principal spirit-medium must undergo numerous trials and tribulations to temper their will, particularly in overcoming arrogance, self-conceit, and pride.
Will it arise: a heart of anger and hatred, a heart of resentment and lament, a heart of dissatisfaction, a heart of discontent? Can one lower one’s pride and humble oneself? These must be clarified through repeated trials. Moreover, the training of spirit-writing mediums in the human world must pass through such trials of character before they can clear the first hurdle alone. There are still many conditions to be integrated in terms of knowledge and understanding of principles.
Accomplishments achieved through exceptional conditions
To be able to comprehend and convey all the virtues bestowed by Heaven, this is the foundational training for a genuine spirit medium. Without undergoing such trials and tribulations, aspiring to become an exceptional spirit medium is no simple matter. It is through these conditions and circumstances, enduring all trials with unwavering determination and without retreat, that one can achieve this.
One must not harbor even the slightest resentment, dissatisfaction, or discontent, nor should one ever feel anger toward the immortals, Buddhas, or the heavens for all the trials and sufferings endured. It is essential to humble oneself and submit to such conditions, contemplating whether one can rely on this foundation to shoulder weighty responsibilities in the future. Moreover, how should one navigate through the torment inflicted by these extraordinary trials?
If one falls short, the exercise of conditions for future reliance necessitates a thorough integration of the principles of the Three Teachings, as well as the mutual fusion of the essences of the Five Teachings, and even their appropriate application. This is precisely the criterion for selecting what to rely upon from all that is stored from past lives. In true conditions, it is the act of "the fuller the rice ear, the lower it bows."
It is precisely through such humble and devoted actions that a generation of enlightened teachers, and indeed a generation of masters, can be cultivated, thereby meeting the requirements set by Heaven for such conditions. How, then, should one proceed in this role? How should one act? Thus, from all causes and origins, we may observe the fundamental framework of a true spirit-writing medium.
Different criteria for assessment under exceptional conditions.
It must be sufficient to meet the requirements of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of awakening" before Heaven, the immortal Buddhas, oneself, and all sentient beings. It can be said that under such exceptional conditions, within the sacred lineage of the present era, there is only one who fulfills this. Moreover, under these conditions, one must undergo the various trials and tests set forth by the immortal Buddhas.
Thus, it will lead to: grinding the heart, tempering the nature, and smoothing the temper, thereby striking down the illusory heart. Once the heart is thus dead, one will inevitably have no desires for oneself, and will be able to give selflessly to Heaven, to the immortals and Buddhas, and to oneself and all sentient beings. Under such conditions, precisely because the function of the heart has been struck down, one can achieve thorough understanding.
Under such auspicious conditions and favorable circumstances, it is precisely because of the Chongxin lineage that such verification and dissemination have been possible. Everyone can rejoice that the direction and methods taught by the immortals and buddhas can thoroughly manifest the true realization of "illuminating the mind, seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition." This is accomplished through the dissemination and verification carried out by those in charge.
This is precisely what the heavens have selected for the 350 great sages of the kalpa (the outstanding ones) to possess—that is, the True Buddha Heart School, the Principal of the Principle Brush. It is through passing trials and tests step by step, stage by stage, that one achieves elevation and transcendence. Moreover, the transformative influence bestowed upon the entire Chongxin lineage is profoundly correct and clear.
Superior Conditions and the Superiority of Conditions
It is precisely the will of Heaven that all may, in the course of a lifetime, practice true non-action as required, and that non-action—as the great direction and efficacy of meaningful action—may be genuinely and steadfastly carried out. For the human world to achieve widespread promotion and propagation, the True Buddha Heart School, the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall are precisely affirmed by Heaven.
It is also bestowed by immortals and Buddhas, and by all as teachers, but in truth, it is precisely through one's own efforts and hard work, through what one gives oneself, that is correct! Moreover, under such rare and favorable conditions of karma, it is precisely to strike down the hearts of all—do we not know whether to accept or reject it? Since it is good! How then should we proceed?
If one undergoes trials, suffering, and hardships, will there arise feelings of resentment, anger, dissatisfaction, or discontent...? Could everyone simply be tested by the Heavens just once? If such conditions were met, given how readily everyone agrees, with just this promise alone, one could surely achieve fulfillment in a single lifetime!
Why worry about not being able to become a holy Buddha in one lifetime? Indeed! One must possess unwavering determination to transcend, within a single lifetime, the realms of: the Void, the Boundless, the Vast Heaven, and the workings of the Revered Heart, capable of traversing the myriad star systems of the great cosmos, and entering: the Pure Land World of the Void’s True Treasure, and the Lotus Buddha Pure Land of the 21st century. Haha... let us all strive a little harder, then!
One lifetime's achievement surpasses a thousandfold,  
Yet the toil in the mortal realm is a hundredfold more.
Only to break free in the present moment,  
A fortunate cause surpasses all that came before.
The cycle of time returns to the present moment,  
Having traversed the home of a thousand years and more.
Looking back on the events of days gone by,
It is as if they passed by just yesterday.
This verse! Let us study and contemplate together with all virtuous beings; it is precisely the transformative effect bestowed for countless generations. This old monk does not worry that Chongxin will not propagate it throughout the world—it is merely a matter of time and conditions. Human effort can achieve it, and with the assistance of immortals and buddhas, all will mutually accomplish it. This old monk has once again taken the lead tonight! Do you envy? Until we meet again!
Chapter Thirteen: Seeking the Immeasurable
## Immortal Maiden of Embroidered Flowers in the Void
September 28, 2004, Jia Shen Year, Eighth Month, Fifteenth Day (Tuesday)
A carefree journey through the mortal world,  
The Daoist Ji of Nanping descends to join the gathering.
The Celestial Venerable of Southern Heaven, Qi Yang, descends in grace,  
As the Great Dao reveres the heart, Heaven bestows its return.
Good evening to all the sacred Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao," the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, has descended to compose the second chapter, titled "The Extraordinary Function of Causes and Conditions." This chapter analyzes all the qualifications of a principal medium, and the next installment will continue by elucidating the unfinished causes and conditions from this session.
I hope you will carefully reflect on this: to truly propagate our lineage, it is essential for everyone to be united in heart, for everyone to strive together, for everyone to work hard together, and for everyone to share joy together—this is the right path! If there is any discord, right or wrong, correctness or error, good or evil, it only brings suffering upon oneself and hinders the propagation and expansion of our teachings. Can you understand this?
Chapter Fourteen: Virtue, Fortune, and Wisdom
## Chongxin Vice Chairman  Wuji Yuanjun  Ma Xiangu
October 1, 2004, Jiashen Year, the Eighteenth Day of the Eighth Lunar Month (Friday)
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea descends to the hall assembly;  
The Great Dao series is truly effortless and natural.
The Heavenly Bestowal of the Heart’s Devotion and Cause  
Chapter Three: The Return and Restoration
The Great Dao exalts the heart, a supremely wondrous and profound cause.
The Heavens bestow a great cause and condition, elevating the Confucian school and the sacred gate to serve as the foundation of this present era, while also taking the virtue and grace of the entire cosmos as the guiding principle. Thus, the virtue and grace of the Vast Heaven, the Boundless, the Void, and the Great Cosmos are interconnected, further fostering the growth of the Chongxin lineage through this profound cause and condition.
To achieve the ultimate sacred mission of serving Heaven in the human world, it must be realized through the realm of humanity: it is accomplishment, it is return, it is transcendence, it is fulfillment through elevation. This can be provided to all human beings through the educational and cultural curriculum of the present world, within all the norms of ethics and morality.
The Sublime Cause of Reverent Faith
This pertains to the early Republican era of the past, when the divine beings and buddhas deliberated together in the heavens. Some of them were in Taiwan, while others were in Southeast Asia. Thus, within the sacred system, the framework of the "Moral Society and Confucian Society" emerged as distinct branches of the sacred tradition. However, the Southern Heaven Luan Affairs Court of the heavens is responsible for consolidating all the required conditions and matters pertaining to Luan affairs.
It makes no distinction between the Nanyang region or the central lands of Taiwan; thus, the practice of spirit-writing has expanded outward from the Divine Land. Moreover, in the human world, during eras when technology was not yet widespread, such conditions could be said to have greatly benefited humanity by spreading virtue downward. The qualifications required to shoulder the role of a true spirit-writer in the sacred tradition are therefore exceptionally rigorous!
Whether in the demands of poetry, lyrics, songs, or prose, or in the mastery of poetic forms, hymns, tonal patterns, and rhyme schemes, one must possess a certain level of aptitude and meet the conditions to barely qualify for the role of a divine scribe. Moreover, an understanding of human affairs, especially ethical principles, and even more so, familiarity with local customs and traditions, is indispensable—no aspect can be overlooked.
Strict Assessment of Devotion and Karma
In the past, the circumstances and conditions were such that, in the present era, due to the deficiencies among the orthodox spirit-writing mediums of the sacred tradition and the uneven quality within the system, any contemporary medium with a modest literary foundation or basic literacy can now fulfill the role. Such requirements apply only to the duties of spirit-writing mediums at local temples and shrines.
However, to truly embody the fundamental principles of a proper medium, it is essential to adhere to all the norms and guidelines that define the conduct and responsibilities of a medium. Moreover, one must diligently practice various precepts and regulations to avoid being marginalized in the community, thereby preserving the dignified image of the sacred tradition across all regions.
The stringent criteria for a true Luanist are established by the Heavenly Realm, which selects from the 350 great sages of the kalpa as a fundamental requirement. It is essential that one be truly capable of fulfilling the duties entrusted by the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, a true Luanist must first undergo over thirty years of trials—a process that ordinary Luanists could hardly endure.
The Dadao Series Expounds the Mahayana
Moreover, one must thoroughly comprehend the underlying principles of the Buddhist "Consciousness-Only" doctrine to guide and transform sentient beings. Furthermore, the essence of the entire *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra* is condensed into what is revealed in the *Heart Sūtra of the Great Perfection of Wisdom*. This means that "Mahā" is defined in Sanskrit, while in the Central Plains, it is manifested as the "Great Dao."
Prajna—it is the perfection of wisdom, the means to reach the other shore. To attain the elevation of the other shore, one must possess great wisdom, great merit, great causes and conditions, and great auspiciousness. But what exactly is this "other shore" as commonly understood? It is precisely a realm that transcends the causes and conditions of the other shore—the Pure Land world of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom in the present 21st century.
This is what is referred to in the mortal world as: the Great Dao! To establish the Great Dao as the core, the essence of the "Heart Sutra of Prajñāpāramitā" is interpreted through "Mahā," resulting in the creation of the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts." This fulfills the requirements for a true medium—to be a transmitter of the Heavenly Will, devoid of any imposing manner or airs.
The profound principle of Consciousness-Only is the great path of Mahayana.
Regarding the karmic connection to the Chongxin lineage, if one does not first undergo the transformative influence of Buddhist principles, how can one manifest the "Mahā" (referred to as the "Great Dao" in the Central Plains) and meet the requirements of an advanced foundational framework? This is precisely the process of how the Heavenly Realm selects a future religious leader!
Only with the capacity for systematic thought and contemplation can one undertake the entire process of authoring the "Dadao Series." Otherwise, if one is merely an ordinary spirit medium, could they achieve the efficacy required for such conditions? Impossible! This also forms the basis for the divine will to be changed into the transmission of heavenly messages, which absolutely does not rely on the qualifications of what is commonly referred to as an ordinary spirit medium.
Furthermore, in response to such conditions of cause and effect, one must take it as a duty to transform the virtues and graces of Heaven into earthly teachings, and to integrate with all the celestial immortals and Buddhas of Heaven. As for how the inherent foundational structure of a true medium is formed? It can be clearly observed through the authored "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
Thus, it becomes clear that across all past works, comprising a total of sixteen heavenly volumes, each volume consistently addresses: the evolution of heaven and earth, the evolution of Haotian, the evolution of Wuji, the evolution of the void, and the evolutionary processes of the great cosmos, all interwoven with the evolution of Chongxin. Without such conditions, how could sentient beings attain endless benefit?
The Sublime Framework of the Great Path of Causality
Furthermore, applying these novel concepts and ideas to all sentient beings in the world, within the framework of thought construction, means being determined to overcome any difficulties in fulfilling the divine mission, and never uttering a single "no!" It is precisely under such conditions that the Supreme selects a lineage leader, who, in meeting the required principles, becomes one whom the Supreme can truly rely upon!
Thus, the Heavenly Lord has bestowed such abundant resources upon all the deities, saints, immortals, and bodhisattvas of Chongxin in response to every requirement for educational training. How, then, do these divine mentors themselves undertake the work of teaching and transformation? And what are the basic requirements and examination processes for the spirit-writing mediums? All of this can be understood in the present moment!
Under such conditions, the reason Chongxin was able to stand out among the candidates is not without cause, nor is it merely due to ordinary qualifications alone. To undertake this sacred duty of promotion, one must possess a firm belief in the mission of Heaven itself, as well as meet the fundamental requirements of "punctuality, lawfulness, trustworthiness, and righteousness" toward Heaven.
It can be said that the teachings of the immortals and Buddhas, as held in reverence by the Chongxin lineage, are absolutely true and genuine. This requires the mutual cooperation of all deities, Buddhas, and students within the Chongxin lineage to promote and propagate the Great Dao. Moreover, the "Great Dao Series" must be extended to the entire universe. This cannot be achieved solely by ordinary leaders; it demands considerable vision and unwavering dedication.
Special Efficacy in Growth Through Causes and Conditions
This requires a sufficiently broad mind and corresponding actions to achieve; otherwise, while immortals and buddhas speak of their ways, humans go about their own. I ask you all: can we truly work alongside immortals and buddhas to attain transcendence and return for millennia to come? Moreover, such conditions demand that even a respected human spirit-medium must exercise caution in words and deeds.
This presents a significant test for the responsibilities of the spirit-writing medium, challenging both wisdom and virtue themselves: how can one progress toward greater growth and accumulation? By examining all present actions, one can clearly see that each step leaves a footprint—a demonstration of steady progress at every turn, while harmoniously fulfilling all precepts and conditions.
Necessary mutual application: wisdom and virtuous merit are essential to cultivate and transcend for countless generations. If, in a certain period, one focuses solely on reverence and leads the entire lineage into Buddhism, how can that be worthy of the painstaking cultivation bestowed by Heaven? For the promotion of the lineage itself is the training that cultivates a great master for all eternity.
The True Buddha Heart Lineage, the Great Dao Sect Lineage
This is not merely as it appears; it is more so a testament to the future world, through which genuine transformation can be realized. Without fulfilling this sacred duty of reviving and propagating the teachings of the holy path, how could we face the prospect of returning and meeting the expectations of the Eternal Heavenly Mother? It is precisely through this that the True Buddha Heart School has been propagated!
It is precisely through expansion and return that "the True Buddha lies within the Heart School—at its core" that the fundamental structure of the True Buddha Heart School is realized. Over these past years, everyone has come to see this clearly, and what, then, is the divine intention behind it? Therefore, the True Buddha resides within the heart (of the School), and moreover, every sentient being is capable of transcending all the demands of this fundamental structure!
This is not an ordinary spirit medium, and the conditions and transcendence that can be achieved are worth contemplating in detail: why is the affinity behind the "Dadao Series Classics" authored by the Chongxin lineage different from ordinary moral books in the outside world? Wherein lies the profound truth for all? Moreover, the series of classics published by Chongxin represents a completely new method of compilation.
Promoting and Expanding the True Buddha Heart Religion's Teachings
If one can guide sentient beings with good karma towards a more contemporary approach, enabling them to return to the ranks of the True Buddha Heart School, this will bear witness to the great lineage that spans generations. It demonstrates precisely what is revealed in the world by the teaching that "the True Buddha is in the heart (school)." In truth, the True Buddha resides within the heart of every being, meaning that the True Buddha cannot be sought externally—the True Buddha is within everyone's heart!
The cause and condition of revering the heart are precisely as such. Moreover, regarding all the teachings and confirmations bestowed by the heavenly deities and immortals, they serve as a test and verification of the humility and modesty of the principal medium. It can be said that those who can meet the fundamental requirements of the heavenly deities are precisely those who can honor and respect the immortals as their revered teachers. Furthermore, they regard the immortals as their own benevolent mentors.
This can be expressed as follows: A religious leader, whose foundational qualities are shaped by the education and guidance of the revered celestial Buddhas, has long been aligned with their compassionate grace and wisdom-derived blessings. In this way, they are able to deeply comprehend and genuinely absorb the insights of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one’s true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of awakening" as imparted by the celestial Buddhas.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect must no longer be absorbed into the Buddhist tradition.
Moreover, by enriching one's own inner cultivation and wisdom to guide and transform others, the Patriarch of the Li Bi Sect is recognized as the foremost among all contemporary transmitters of celestial teachings in the world today—the first to establish a lineage, achieve clarity of mind and insight into one's true nature, attain enlightenment, and verify the fruits of realization. It can be understood that the inherent qualities of Chongxin itself are precisely due to the humility and sincerity of its leader, which pave the way for future growth and favorable conditions.
Everyone should be grateful that, in the 350 great kalpas of the Heavenly Providence, we have been able to select a true oracle master—the Patriarch of the Principle Pen! This is not only praised by the revered immortals and buddhas of Chongxin, but is also witnessed and acclaimed by all the celestial immortals and buddhas. For one who takes on the role of a true oracle, there lies the responsibility to fulfill all duties with utmost dedication.
Everyone can observe carefully that Chongxin is by no means an ordinary or common sect; rather, it serves as evidence of the conditions and karmic affinities necessary for transcendence across countless generations. How can one elevate and surpass? This is precisely what is revealed in the *Dadao Series Celestial Books*, which are specifically intended to benefit the survival of all human beings.
The Great Dao Series Exhibition Promotes
The Form of the Void, the Limitless, and the Vast Heaven.
Connecting the great cause of revering the heart,  
Together we spread it across the four seas.
The cosmos renews with each passing era;  
Thought constructs give rise to sentient beings.
Roaming freely through the galaxies of the universe,  
The heart finds even greater joy.
This verse is shared with all virtuous beings and sentient beings of good affinity to encourage one another; it is an affirmation and praise of the leader of a spiritual lineage. Although this is the case, on the path ahead, one must still proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint with each stride, so that every step is steady and secure. Only in this way can the destination be perfectly reached, achieving both return and transcendence.
Thank you all for your efforts in coming today to celebrate on behalf of your teacher in advance. I am truly grateful. I have troubled Chongxin Temple for a while, and when it comes to the journey to Southeast Asia, your teacher will surely arrive in the region before all of you. We shall meet again then; farewell!
Chapter Fifteen: Guiding All Sentient Beings
##Rainbow Immortal Maiden of the Void
October 8, 2004, the 25th day of the eighth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
Colorful clouds descend from the void to the mortal realm;  
The immortal maiden's virtue and grace renew with each passing day.
The Path of Reverent Heart and Causality Unfolds; The Journey to the South Seas Guided by Virtue Teachings.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea descended to compose the third chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao," titled "The Cause and Conditions of the Revered Heart." This chapter interconnects the continuous functions of the Void, Wuji, Haotian, and the Revered Heart, all of which have been jointly deliberated and implemented by the celestial immortals and Buddhas long ago.
We are able to have such a fortunate opportunity due to several reasons: first, the teachings of the immortals and Buddhas have provided us with the correct direction; second, the leaders themselves possess a broad vision and an open-minded heart; third, the collective efforts of all students have led to the establishment of a harmonious and united foundational structure, which is the true essence. All virtuous students must, within this lineage, unite as one to carry forward the teachings.
Some students do not cherish this opportunity, treating it as optional and dispensable. They will soon be eliminated from the group. They are aware of this themselves; even if the immortals and buddhas do not point it out, if they continue this way, they will inevitably be removed from the ranks of formal students within half a year, and from the ranks of probationary students within a full year. Consider this carefully.
Chapter Sixteen: All Can Be Saved
##Celestial Worthy of the Void's Sacred Transmission
October 15, 2004, the second day of the ninth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The structure of human inheritance is woven from the interplay of emptiness and substance,  
while the turning wheel of causality brings fruition to all endeavors.
The supreme virtue shapes the grand cosmic cycle,  
While heaven and earth evaluate the works of humanity.
The Criteria for Evaluation in the Celestial Realm
There are many reasons to observe the whole picture: the way the Heavens fulfill all living beings is precisely by first examining their foundation and the role of their mindset. This is assessed through their own actions or the duties delegated by the Heavens. Such conditions are exercised without distinction among any temples or halls. Before the Heavens consider any matter, there must be numerous reflections and methods of application.
Furthermore, within this process, if any condition fails to meet the requirements of the Heavenly Realm, other methods will inevitably be employed to achieve completion. Through undergoing various conditions for dissemination and establishing verification as a foundation, one's actions become a test of whether the conditions can be exercised. This dynamic inherently involves numerous transformations.
It is to fulfill the duty and mission of guiding all sentient beings and the principal deities of all temples and shrines. When this cannot be achieved, other causes and conditions will arise to mutually accomplish it. Moreover, through the causes and conditions considered by Heaven, different lineages and affinities are granted to achieve the fulfillment of a single matter.
The benevolent influence of Heaven relies on its supportive function.
It is indeed quite favorable and perfect; however, if one is unable to establish a foundation based on the conditions jointly deliberated by Heaven and the Immortals and Buddhas, other methods or alternative approaches will inevitably be adopted. Under such circumstances, in fulfilling the weighty responsibilities entrusted by Heaven, the foundation of one's mindset will first be tested.
It depends on the presence or absence of wisdom in response. If one cannot understand through all states of mind, responses, wisdom, and actions, then one cannot establish a relatively complete execution of sacred duties. It can be said: How can one comprehend the exercise of all conditions, whether in descending to the mortal world or within the assembly of the Heavenly Council?
Often, many immortals and Buddhas can clearly understand the importance of their tasks and missions. Moreover, in the sacred duties decreed by Heaven, from the perspective of these immortals and Buddhas, the qualities of the students and leaders within their own lineages—what kind of innate nature they possess, what karmic connections they have, what conditions they meet, and what actions they take—are all taken into consideration.
The Conditions and Functions of the Heavenly Assessment Office
If an immortal or Buddha, within their own lineage, is capable of meeting such conditions, they will readily agree to take on this significant responsibility. After deliberation and consensus among all immortals and Buddhas, if it is deemed feasible, they will collectively endorse these conditions and the associated circumstances, determining how best to proceed.
Moreover, in the tasks decreed by Heaven, there will be numerous causes and functions set into motion. Regarding such conditions, through the recognition and approval of all the assembled immortals and buddhas, those capable of bearing great responsibilities can clearly understand: why, under the conditions and opportunities of the assembled immortals and buddhas, there are far more opportunities compared to others who do not participate in the assembly of immortals and buddhas!
It also allows for more opportunities to achieve accomplishments; furthermore, when all the immortals and buddhas in collective deliberation lack such energy (endurance), they will inevitably seek those who are destined, capable, or qualified to shoulder the great responsibilities and carry them out. In fulfilling the tasks decreed by Heaven, this pattern serves as the foundation.
When providing opportunities to those with predestined conditions to fulfill the foundations set by the decrees of Heaven, if the immortals and Buddhas have already given their prior consent, but the temple leaders and all disciples and followers fail to cooperate, thereby preventing the execution of the original divine duties, further conditions will inevitably arise for renewed deliberation.
How does the divine evaluation proceed with its selection?
Such conditions serve precisely to sift out those truly capable of bearing great responsibilities. Regarding the criteria for immortals and buddhas, as well as the roles of all personnel within various sects, lineages, temples, and shrines in the human realm, it is essential to understand whether they can accept and fulfill the sacred duties and missions bestowed by Heaven. In this process, every immortal and buddha will also be considered with utmost clarity.
Otherwise, if it is difficult to achieve and one is unable to fulfill the task, it would be embarrassing before the immortals and buddhas. At times, it might even implicate the merits and deeds of the immortals and buddhas themselves, and serve as a basis for future judgments regarding promotion or demotion. Given such conditions and circumstances, how then should one proceed when faced with the various sacred duties decreed by Heaven, along with the missions to be carried out?
There would be too many agendas for meetings, and all responsibilities are exercised through delegation. This is carried out under the joint participation of immortals and Buddhas. Thus, it can be said: it is a project aligned with the will of Heaven, where a sacred duty is executed as a mission, creating the causal conditions for whether one will be fully qualified to undertake it in the future.
It must be clear: the execution of projects designated by Heaven is of utmost importance, just as it is with projects designated in the human world. If a designated project cannot be carried out, it is necessary to compensate for all losses incurred from the original designation. This principle applies to the human world as well, and similarly, the execution of projects designated by Heaven serves as the foundation for future achievements.
All varying conditions in the assessment process
If, within the temples, shrines, or halls of immortals and Buddhas, it is not possible to carry out all the commitments made by these deities, it will inevitably affect all conditions related to their evaluations and the balance of promotions or demotions. This is done to fulfill the execution of the divine mandate from Heaven. From this, one can understand how all immortals and Buddhas are distinguished in relation to their affiliated temples, shrines, halls, or religious sects.
Thus, the connection between immortals and Buddhas involves interrelated causes, effects, and retributions, which also serve as the basis for rewards and punishments. This resembles the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven, requiring the exercise of authority. Whether one possesses the qualifications and conditions to bear such a heavy responsibility can be observed through the lineage or temple, and the capabilities of the immortals and Buddhas themselves will become clear at a glance!
At times, the celestial beings and Buddhas harbor grand aspirations of cosmic scale, yet the human world fundamentally lacks such a mindset and concepts. Even if one wishes to facilitate such conditions and causes, it remains utterly unattainable. From the perspective of the celestial beings and Buddhas, the principle of "celestial matters handled by deities, divine matters handled by humans, and human matters handled through cooperation" applies universally across the vast cosmos, under the same conditions.
There are projects that require setting objectives for the Supreme Heavens, and what can be clearly understood is precisely how the Supreme Heavens establish the criteria and carry out their duties. This allows for a clear understanding of the inherent qualities of celestial beings, Buddhas, and all sentient beings, as well as how they should act and develop. At times, there is no need to set objectives for the Supreme Heavens, as the conditions for action are directly bestowed and implemented by the Supreme Heavens.
Assessment of Fundamental Roles and Functions
It is precisely because the conditions for growth have long been in place, awaiting only the right time and space to unfold, that opportunities to create the necessary conditions for dissemination are abundant. Thus, it is essential to first observe whether the leaders of the human world themselves are truly capable of bearing such a great responsibility, and whether they can fully comprehend their own inherent qualities and understand how they should be utilized.
It is precisely because there are those who, though capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, often act with stubborn self-assurance. If their habits, temperament, tendencies, and nature are deeply flawed, how can they truly bear such duties? Even for the virtuous, they must be evaluated on their mindset, responses, wisdom, and actions—can they withstand all the trials set by Heaven?
This foundation is built upon a process of selection and refinement. How then do we approach the conditions and circumstances of our trials? It becomes clear whether one can humble oneself with a lowly heart, or become lost in the applause of others! Even worse, some have already strayed into the tainted mindset of "I alone am supreme," believing themselves to be the greatest under heaven. Though one may claim to be the greatest, it is precisely such a person who will face numerous trials!
The heavens evaluate, examine, and sift.
To test whether one can humble oneself or become arrogant, and to think that in all the world, there is only oneself! Little does one realize that the heavens are high and the earth is vast, and there are many: those above others, immortals above immortals, Buddhas above Buddhas. It is precisely under such conditions of cause and effect that one must consider how to achieve the right attitude toward oneself: humbling the heart and lowering the spirit as a cause for accomplishment!
It is precisely because there exists a set of criteria determined by Heaven to assess whether one is truly capable of standing alone. Through one’s actions and deeds, one comes to understand one’s current state. Yet, far too many human leaders believe they possess extraordinary abilities, unaware of their many shortcomings. Under such circumstances and conditions, how can they possibly achieve upward growth, elevation, and transcendence?
It becomes easy to incur divine retribution and the withdrawal of sacred duties and missions. The foundation of whether one can humble oneself to become a pillar of divine talent lies in how much one's accumulated merits are disseminated below, and in how the divine criteria are evaluated. What truly matters is whether such causes and conditions can foster greater growth and expansion.
The criteria for divine judgment are exceedingly stringent.
The Scripture of Reverent Heart has been evaluated and affirmed time and again by the Heavenly Court through numerous conferences of celestial beings and buddhas. All its various provisions serve as the foundation for the future promotion of educational and cultural endeavors. Thus, the immortal and buddha teachers of the Reverent Heart lineage, together with celestial immortal and buddha teachers from all realms, have jointly participated in the creation of the educational works of the Great Dao series of heavenly texts.
First, it is determined by the abilities imparted through the teachings of immortals and Buddhas. Second, it depends on the conditions and the determination and perseverance of the principal in charge. Third, it relies on the accumulation of merits and resources from the principal’s past lives. Fourth, it involves selecting whether the principal can humble themselves and approach with sincerity. In recent years, Chongxin has been recognized as an outstanding performer in the heavenly assembly, earning promotion for its efforts.
This is not without reason, nor is it merely an affirmation of the leader, but also an affirmation of all the immortals and buddhas of Chongxin, as well as an affirmation of the unity among the students of Chongxin. It can be clearly understood: without the immortals and buddhas and the leader themselves, it would be fundamentally impossible for the Chongxin lineage to possess such conditions and karmic affinities!
Regarding the sacred tasks bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, whether they are duties and missions from the Heavenly Realm or projects aimed at serving the Heavenly Realm, the current period demands nothing but success, with no room for failure. In the present era, only the Chongxin Sect lineage is capable of authoring the Great Tao series of celestial texts. This is an exceedingly rare affinity within the human world!
The Criteria for Divine Evaluation
After nearly two decades, no system within Confucian sacred traditions or any contemporary religion possesses such conditions! Regarding the responsibilities and mission borne by the Chongxin lineage, it is imperative to advance courageously without pause—this is the correct path. The repeated and resolute demands of the immortals and buddhas must be carried out.
Why must we unite in heart and mind to carry out and propagate this? This is not without reason; it is precisely due to this layer of cause and condition, as well as the connection, that it promotes the growth and accomplishment of all the "Path of Reverence." As the immortals and Buddhas have said: this is an endeavor to be carried out for generations upon generations. From the perspective of humanity, it is merely a fleeting moment in time!
Moreover, for all the actions of people in this world, if one can understand what their own shortcomings and deficiencies are, then they can address and compensate for these shortcomings and deficiencies, thereby enabling themselves in the future to transcend and achieve a legacy that endures for generations. This is a growth and transcendence that one can grasp, and thus it is essential to strive diligently!
From the void, causes and conditions elevate the heart's arrival;  
The Wuji decrees, unveiling the sacred edict.
The great virtue of the vast heavens forms a profound cause,  
Under the protection and guardianship of the Southern Heaven's sovereign.
Heaven and Earth bear witness to all beings with feeling,  
Yet the causes and conditions that elevate the heart vary greatly.
The Sovereign of the Principle-Pen takes refuge in reliance,  
Achieving the cosmos and upholding the celestial arch.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; to bring greater growth and benefit to the sentient world, achieving elevation and transcendence is the true nature of reality! Furthermore, for sentient beings who have yet to attain accomplishment: it is hoped that by understanding the karmic connection to the "Path of Reverence" and the foundation of "Reverence for the Path," one may ascend and transcend!
Chapter Seventeen: Transcendence and Ascension
##Void-Colored Crane Immortal Maiden
October 19, 2004, the sixth day of the ninth month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
Radiant clouds descend from the void to the lofty heart;  
The immortal maiden ascends the stage to meet with affection.
The Great Way exalts the heart, recounting causes and conditions;  
Roots of virtue and grace guide all beings.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Human-Heavenly Patriarch of our lineage, the Supreme Master of the Void, descended to impart the teachings of the fourth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao," titled "The Evaluation of Heaven." This discourse elucidates the actions, mindsets, responses, and wisdom of sentient beings, while also highlighting their profound connections with the Immortals and Buddhas.
From this, one can understand why some are able to shoulder the heavy responsibilities entrusted by Heaven and remain accountable to it. It is essential to have a genuine foundation in education and culture—this is the true path! Otherwise, it is merely empty words, difficult to translate into practice. This is a rather harsh reality for both the celestial beings and students, and it constitutes a severe punishment for the celestial beings themselves.
Do not assume that your actions and behaviors are unrelated to the inherent conditions of your own lineage, and can be clearly understood as part of a religious operational system. If success is not achieved, it may seem quite easy for everyone to leave. However, for the immortals, Buddhas, and the leaders, is it equally easy for them to depart? It is, in fact, exceedingly difficult!
To put it plainly, success means the great undertaking of a thousand years—it is only right! If one does not succeed, not only will this lifetime of the immortals, buddhas, and the leaders themselves be forfeited, but even the next lifetime would not suffice to repay it. Everyone must understand this profound and interconnected cause and effect, as well as the interlinked actions taken. To achieve this truthfully is to transcend and roam freely across the universe, the void, and the boundless realm of Wuji.
If we do not succeed this time, shall we try again in the next era? If you can respond with unwavering faith, the success of our promotion and dissemination is assured. Then let us unite wholeheartedly in this endeavor, treating the operation as a comprehensive system, so that it may better fulfill the requirements for ourselves, for all sentient beings, and for the Divine. Do you understand? Strive diligently!
Chapter Eighteen: The Perfect Return
## Celestial Venerable of Ethereal Brushstrokes
October 22, 2004, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The void's cause and effect threads through the revered heart,  
The presiding Lord of Literature and Scales, the Sacred Emperor, arrives.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
Testing and discerning the root cause of all things.
The Fundamental Criteria for Divine Examination and Evaluation
The divine authority oversees and evaluates the functions of all religions. It can be said of any religion that the purpose of this assessment is to clarify its efficacy. Through this divine evaluation, it becomes evident that the responsibilities and duties entrusted by the divine are carried out, and each sacred task is endowed with a specific purpose, thereby achieving its intended accomplishment.
Through the supervision and assessment by the Divine, it is akin to the necessity in the human world of having an authority that oversees all administrative bodies. It is precisely this necessity that raises the question: for all religions, what mindset and wisdom in response are required to clearly discern matters and actions?
It is precisely through the evaluation and scoring by Heaven that one comes to understand, through the changes and effects of each year, how to act in every passing year. This enables one to fulfill the duties and responsibilities one has undertaken, and through Heaven's judgment of merits and virtues, to accumulate and perfect one's actions.
Assess and verify all conditions.
If the system is well-established, the annual performance evaluations would be quite impressive to observe. However, if no performance outcomes are achieved, it may be left to future assessments to determine whether there is sufficient basis for entrusting significant responsibilities. Moreover, for all divine beings, immortals, Buddhas, and leaders within religions, there will inevitably be distinctions in evaluations that determine ascent or descent.
Through the conditions set by the presiding immortals and Buddhas, combined with the efforts of the human leaders and the actions of all students and devotees, all elements can complement and support one another. For a temple, shrine, or religious lineage, growth can be achieved through the assessment of merits. It requires considerable dedication and effort to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted by Heaven and to advance its mission.
It serves as a rather strict assessment for all religious sects, temples, and halls regarding their human leaders, allowing one to understand how well the human world aligns in cooperation. Additionally, it examines whether their perspectives on matters correspond with the educational and cultural guidance imparted by the presiding immortals and Buddhas, and whether they can mutually reinforce one another.
What about the conditions of the assessment system?
If they can complement and support each other, the collective efforts and dedication from top to bottom will indeed be considerable. However, whether the effectiveness is truly substantial is not guaranteed! This can be clarified by examining whether the approach to a matter is correct and whether the methods of implementation are appropriate. It is determined by the divine beings and immortals dispatched by Heaven to reside in the mortal realm.
If the project designated by the Heavenly Realm is carried out through the presiding immortals and Buddhas, how should the fulfillment of duties achieve complete and perfect results? If success is attainable, there must be numerous practical manifestations of divine grace bestowed upon the world. Moreover, regarding the affairs of all human beings in the vast universe, through the evaluation and assessment by the Heavenly Realm, what will be the merits and fruits in the future?
This is to realize the project of either descending transformation from the Supreme Heaven or ascending towards the Supreme Heaven. It is necessary to undergo assessment and evaluation in order to understand the fundamental conditions of various aspects and how to grow upward! For all human beings and sentient beings, the conditions for growth can be elevated and transcended in a virtuous manner, all of which are shaped by human factors.
Screening based on the criteria of identification functions.
How can all the achievements of efficacy be verified? With such manifestations of efficacy and accomplishments, even in the process of understanding the vast universe, there arises the question of what the effects of merit and fruition might be. It is precisely through the actualization of these effects of merit and fruition that distinctions are made among all religious sects, lineages, temples, and sacred halls across the vast universe—what levels and conditions do they represent?
And what kind of education is this? What distinctions does such cultivation entail! Under these conditions, there is a significant differentiating effect. To clarify this effect, and to distinguish these conditions as a basis for undertaking weighty responsibilities in the future, will allow the Heavens to trust—indeed, far too many!
Moreover, one can rely on religion or temples and halls, where the conditions of the immortals and Buddhas, as well as the leaders themselves, greatly enhance many affinities. Differences in levels, realms, and the affinities of teachings lead to varied functions. Such coordination in the human world is precisely complementary, highlighting the importance of relying on these affinities.
The Basic Function of Appraisal
It is precisely based on the principles of transformation under the responsibilities of Heaven that one can understand how all actions are to be evaluated. There exists the examination and judgment of Heaven over all deeds, assessing whether the direction of sacred duties and missions deviates from the norms and regulations set by Heaven. If the deviation is too great, it will affect the future, leading to a reduction in the capacity to shoulder significant responsibilities.
This clarity can be achieved through the principles and norms established by Heaven, which guide how they should be implemented and promoted. It is through all religious traditions and their temples and sacred halls that this clarity emerges. Educational and cultural curricula serve as a foundation for all generations, providing humanity with the framework of "ethics and morality."
For those who place their trust and reliance in the Heavenly Will, it becomes clear how the foundations for shouldering great responsibilities are established. It is precisely because of such principles and norms that integration is achieved, guiding actions in accordance with these standards without straying too far from them. Moreover, all actions undertaken in adherence to these principles are subject to the examination and supervision of the Heavenly Will.
It is up to Heaven to evaluate and judge—how then are the actual achievements of all functions and benefits? It is essential for all, from top to bottom, to unite in heart, serving as the basis for Heaven to fulfill its responsibilities. Only by accomplishing each and every duty and mission entrusted to oneself can one be considered truly genuine. This will inevitably lead to success, elevating oneself to higher growth.
Assessment and evaluation at various levels
Granting various religious sects and temples a basis for evaluating the merits of their presiding deities will influence the future distinction between ascent and descent. If the deities manifest majestic spiritual power and command reverence in their domains, they can collaborate with all human leaders, students, and followers to advance their teachings through mutual cooperation.
This type of religious lineage, when localized, represents all the functions of a region to manifest its essence. It acts upon the locality with authenticity, inevitably gathering a great force to achieve its purpose. Within this general force, all inhabitants within the area are mobilized to integrate and harmonize with one another.
Furthermore, it will extend to the sojourners living in distant lands, who return to participate in and support the grand regional gatherings. Such circumstances precisely converge into a powerful force for integration, contributing significantly to the peace and tranquility of a region. Within the bounds of that area, all are bound to benefit, and this can be genuinely manifested through the reliance on faith, where its authentic nature takes effect.
Granting sentient beings and primordial spirits their first step into religious faith can bring clarity to the peace and tranquility of a region, purifying the hearts of all people. This in turn generates a force that integrates the driving power of faith. For sentient beings, it is through such karmic connections that they enter the ranks of religious belief, all beginning with this initial step.
The judgment of Heaven serves as the ultimate guide,  
All temples and halls gather in shared reverence.
Religious sects and lineages come to participate,  
The presiding immortals and buddhas are recommended by humanity.
Teaching is tailored to different levels,  
Each being's karma nurtures the heart's blossoms.
The division into upper and lower tiers  
Creates a fine tale through differentiated evaluation.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original souls; it also shares sincere dialogue with all the divine beings and students of Chongxin, as well as the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. It conveys the compassionate grace and virtuous blessings bestowed by the Heavens, hoping that in the future, there will be substantial progress and promotion in the aspects of educational and cultural courses.
Episode 19: Energy Overflowing
##Void-Colored Spirit Immortal Maiden
October 29, 2004, the sixteenth day of the ninth lunar month, Year of Jia Shen (Friday)
The truth of emptiness is not the same as the mundane world,  
Yet its virtues, like colorful blossoms, are appreciated by all hearts.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the stage to meet the virtuous student,  
The Great Way reveres the heart, its truths are expounded in detail.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, His Holiness, the Heavenly Lord of Civil Enlightenment, also known as the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, the Chairman of our lineage, has descended to elucidate the causes and conditions for the assessment and verification in the fifth chapter of "The Reverence of the Heart in the Great Dao." This is a revelation that has rarely been expounded within the Confucian sacred tradition for thousands of years.
Furthermore, by evaluating and elucidating within the human realm, it becomes clear that the works of Da Dao Chong Xin are intended to unveil the heavenly mysteries that are difficult for all religious sects, temples, and sacred halls in the world to comprehend. They also provide religious leaders with clarity on how to align with the descending causes and conditions of the immortals and buddhas in the future.
If one cannot achieve the full efficacy of all constructed endeavors, the results will be significantly diminished. It can be understood that the Chongxin Sect lineage is fundamentally different from the practices of ordinary religious sects, temples, or halls. It carries a distinct mission and purpose, and it is precisely due to this unique condition that the Chongxin Sect lineage possesses greater potential for expansion and propagation.
Chapter Twenty: Emitting Light from the Self
## Void Golden Brush Wisdom-Opening Celestial Worthy
November 2, 2004, the twentieth day of the ninth lunar month, Year of Jiashen (Tuesday).
Deputy Head of the Chongxin Dojo,  
Immortal Ma Gu expounds the principles and structure.
The Sixth Chapter: The Great Dao Exalts the Heart — The Basis of One’s Mission Lies in Self-Determination
The function by which the divine assesses the fulfillment of a mission.
The criteria for divine assessment and evaluation are based on whether one is truly qualified to fulfill the sacred duties required. There must be numerous applicable conditions to rely upon in the world of the Great Dao or the Heavenly Dao. Through all the assessments and evaluations conducted by the divine, only those who are capable of bearing the weight of great responsibilities and can pass the divine screening will be selected.
In aligning with the sacred mission as a guiding principle, and in fulfilling the responsibility and duty toward Heaven, what mindset should one adopt to understand how to respond and act with wisdom? That is, under what conditions should the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven be carried out? This is precisely what serves as the basis for Heaven’s evaluation.
It is through divine descent and transformation, based on all one's efforts in fulfilling the sacred duties required by each mission, that one gains the support of action. This driving force enables the formation of an entity of action to accomplish the mission, which is indeed entirely correct. As for the conduct and deeds of the actor, how are they to be assessed?
A mission must have a foundation.
There will inevitably be a considerable supportive role, driving and propelling the mission into action. Moreover, all such driving forces within this framework of action are, within the human world, subject to evaluation by the Supreme Heaven. By understanding the full scope of these functions, one can clearly grasp the driving power that upholds the Great Dao.
Only then can we fulfill the duties and missions bestowed by Heaven, understanding how to act and how to accomplish them! This means truly carrying out the duties and missions of Heaven to perfection, completing the entrusted tasks, and fulfilling the responsibilities and missions undertaken for the temples, halls, or sacred deities, immortals, and buddhas.
It will undoubtedly lead to greater growth, yet it remains impossible to foresee what its future effects will be! The sentient beings of the human world fundamentally cannot comprehend this, which lies precisely in the idea that all actions and behaviors, as taught in the human realm, must embrace the concept of "non-action"—a way of acting that is free from desire and striving.
Functional Basis of Mission Conditions
Such conditions are precisely ordained by the heavens above. The presiding immortals and buddhas who shoulder these responsibilities must establish a channel of communication with the leaders and devoted disciples of the human world. It is essential to understand the duties and missions they bear, and to discern what methods and approaches should be employed to achieve perfection.
Furthermore, only with full certainty of efficacy can the sacred duties and missions bestowed by Heaven be accomplished in the human world. It is also essential for the presiding immortals and Buddhas who shoulder these holy responsibilities, as well as the human leaders in charge, to cooperate and unite their strength. Only then can the teachings be genuinely propagated and expanded! This is a demand placed upon all who bear such duties and missions.
For the presiding immortals and the leaders in the human world, there must be mutual support and cooperation. To fulfill the duties of Heaven in the human realm, there is a requirement to carry out all missions and responsibilities entrusted by Heaven. This is achieved either through the collective deliberation of all immortals and buddhas, or by following the designated projects set forth by various religious sects and lineages.
Based on the conditions, decide what should be done.
It is precisely by aligning with the responsibilities of the Heavenly Realm that one can realize how to manifest them in the human world. Whether through the sacred duties carried out by the Heavenly Realm, which demand execution, or through the cooperation of immortals, Buddhas, and all sentient beings, it is essential to achieve the fulfillment of the Heavenly Realm's entrusted mission and its transformative influence.
In fact, granting repeated opportunities requires seamless cooperation between the presiding immortals responsible for their duties and missions, as well as the human leaders in charge. Only by achieving perfection in the efficacy of their actions can the responsibilities and missions bestowed by Heaven be accomplished, and this must be done with solid evidence and justification.
To serve as a basis for entrusting significant responsibilities in the future, there are many deities and buddhas capable of undertaking such duties, while many others remain ambiguous in their suitability. Additionally, numerous tasks struggle to meet the standards set by Heaven for implementation. Only upon the completion of each duty and mission entrusted by Heaven can actual merit be established as a foundation.
Act according to the mission at hand.
Furthermore, after fulfilling the duties entrusted by Heaven, numerous achievements and effects will inevitably emerge. From the perspective of Heaven, these conditions allow the observation of the merits and benefits obtained in return, forming a basis for future efficacy. They also constitute the capacity to bear the significant responsibilities bestowed by Heaven.
Each time the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven are carried out, there may be significant shortcomings or numerous difficulties that hinder their fulfillment. In such processes, Heaven dispatches immortals and buddhas to oversee and assess, evaluating all relevant details as the basis for judgment, and also examining both the presiding immortals and the human leaders involved.
In evaluating one's firm resolve and actions, it is essential to consider whether difficulties may arise or whether there are dissatisfactions and resentments stemming from one's mindset. This assessment also determines whether one can meet future demands. It involves distinguishing all relevant details and examining both the principal and assisting celestial beings, as well as the principal and assisting individuals in the human realm.
How would it be according to the conditions?
In terms of personal suitability, it further assesses and examines all students involved in the sacred duties to evaluate whether they meet the conditions required for the sacred tasks with integrity, or whether they encounter numerous dissatisfactions and difficulties in achieving the conditions for success. Thus, there remain many aspects in this process that cannot be accomplished through worldly perspectives and actions.
There are still many uncertain factors that will inevitably be present. Through assessment and examination for evaluation, the overall score serves as a means to determine the final grade. This allows us to understand: the mindset and influence of the presiding immortals and the human leaders, as well as their wisdom in response. Can they pass the evaluation, examination, and assessment set by the Heavenly Realm?
This also serves as a foundation for future achievements and for entrusting significant responsibilities once again. Based on this foundation, it becomes clear how the presiding immortals and the human leaders are designated! Through various assessments and examinations, it becomes evident whether one is worthy of undertaking the weighty responsibilities bestowed by Heaven in the future, all based on this foundation.
Moreover, possessing such a basis of conditions is precisely what provides a genuine foundation for those who undertake the mission: the presiding immortals and the assisting immortals, along with human efforts to overcome any difficulties. Through the combined efforts of the presiding immortals and human factors, the responsibilities of Heaven are thus transmitted and realized within the human world.
What is the utility of the mission's basis?
It is about fulfilling the duties and missions bestowed by Heaven, during which there are many difficulties and obstacles that are hard to overcome through human effort alone. It is essential to observe: the actions of the presiding immortals and humans, the conditions they employ, and the wisdom they apply to overcome all hardships and obstacles, striving to achieve perfection in all endeavors.
Only with a steadfast will to overcome all dangers, setbacks, and difficulties can one come to understand how to fulfill all responsibilities and missions one shoulders. This state of mind is precisely what the character "faith" embodies. Towards Heaven, it manifests as "sincerity and trustworthiness," while in the human world, it is expressed through the perfection of goodness.
Thus, the sacred duties and responsibilities are bestowed by Heaven as the basis for the benchmark project, much like the engineering contracts signed in the human world. If they cannot be fulfilled, one must compensate the other party for all losses incurred. However, from the perspective of Heaven: once trust is broken, how can compensation be made to Heaven? Consequently, there can be no foundation for "sincere trustworthiness" to rely upon.
The inability to meet the condition of "sincere faith" results in "breach of trust"! This resembles the contracts humans sign for specific projects in the mortal world; yet, how can one sign such a contract with the heavens for a divine undertaking? It is exceedingly difficult! As for the efforts of humanity, they must rely on their own capabilities to grasp them.
The grand design of Heaven's work  
Resembles contracts born of mortal ken.
How to accomplish your goals? Strengthen your resolve, and overcoming difficulties will lead to success.
The character "faith" works among mortals,  
The duties of Heaven will extend their call.
Remaining faithful to one's commitments fosters growth,  
And future achievements will shine even brighter.
This verse is shared with all religious sects and lineages, the presiding immortals and buddhas of temples and halls, as well as the leaders of the human world, to encourage one another. It is a true testament to the firm resolve toward Heaven, which enables overcoming all difficulties and achieving growth. May it be so! May it be so!
Chapter Twenty-One: The Differentiation of Energy
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void
November 5, 2004, the twenty-third day of the ninth lunar month, Year of Jia Shen (Friday)
In the boundless void, the exalted heart finds its cause;  
A radiant rainbow graces the expanse of the sky.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the sacred platform today,  
Gathering with virtuous sages of profound compassion.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu of our lineage has descended to compose the sixth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao": The Basis of Mission. This is to understand the role of the conditions set by Heaven in fulfilling the objectives of predestined affinities, and to recognize how Heaven bestows such causal functions toward these goals.
Through human agency, the cooperation between the presiding entity and the celestial beings is precisely aimed at fulfilling the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven. Only by establishing the basis for carrying out these divine responsibilities can one achieve merit and tangible accomplishments in the future. Thus, the Chongxin lineage possesses precisely such qualifications, earning the trust and affirmation of Heaven.
In the faithful compilation of the Da Dao series, there will be no delays or omissions. The celestial texts are presented to the Heavenly Realm as scheduled, a goal and achievement beyond the reach of ordinary individuals. Only by the resolve of those in charge to overcome all external difficulties can they earn the affirmation and praise of the Heavenly Realm. It is hoped that with steadfast determination to surmount every obstacle, they will surely become executors of the Heavenly Realm’s mission in the future.
Chapter 22: The Rise and Fall of Spiritual Attainment
## Void Silver Brush Great Dao Celestial Worthy
November 12, 2004, the first day of the tenth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday).
From the void descends to the Heart of Reverence,  
The imperial decree conveys celestial will, bestowing virtue upon sentient beings.
The Heavenly Venerable composes the revered Heart Scripture;  
The sacred task of engineering serves as a guide.
The Grand Endeavor of Honoring the Heart and Sacred Duties
The sacred mission bestowed by Wuji and Haotian serves as the foundation, aiming to elevate and perfect the human world. To achieve this ultimate state of excellence, it is essential to employ various methods within human society, ensuring each stage is accomplished with thoroughness. Moreover, for the responsibilities and missions undertaken, it is necessary to possess the driving force upheld by the heavens.
In fulfilling the duties and missions bestowed by Heaven, it is essential to achieve thorough and complete implementation while aligning with the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Will in the sentient world. This requires actively promoting and disseminating the causal actions decreed by Heaven, driven by a steadfast and resolute force. Such foundational actions are indispensable for the overall sacred endeavors.
Regarding all temples, halls, or religious sects, can the presiding deities and their human leaders possess a broad and far-reaching vision? Moreover, in the sacred duties and missions they undertake, how can they achieve completion? Only with such conditions can they present their projects to Heaven. In carrying out these sacred tasks of dissemination, there must be abundant resources and provisions.
The Necessity of the Great Work of the Sacred Service
To achieve mutual assistance in all actions undertaken, in the context of sacred duties, it is essential to mobilize human resources, material assets, and financial strength as the primary pillars of support. Additionally, the divine power of immortals and Buddhas must be invoked. Only by passing through this threshold of divine power can we effectively collaborate with the human world in a manner that promotes mutual support and expansion.
Only then can the sentient beings of the vast world, relying on the original driving force of all goals, through the divine power of the presiding immortals and Buddhas, along with numerous manifestations, be demonstrated and verified in the human world. Thus, it becomes clear that in sacred duties, the divine assistance of immortals and Buddhas is indispensable, for this is the true nature of reality!
It is precisely for the sake of all sentient beings in the world of affection, and to enhance the divine power of the revered immortals and Buddhas, that this karma is fostered to elevate the human world. If there were only mere excitement, a great force must be gathered to bring together the original spiritual beings of sentient beings for the purpose of widespread transformation.
Conditions and Acts of Sacred Service
Thus, even before formally entering a religious faith, one can establish a connection with the immortals and buddhas, and form a mutual bond with them. This allows for the promotion of sacred duties and the attainment of accomplishments, enabling personal growth through this connection with the immortals and buddhas. In the future, this very affinity may lead one to enter a religion for cultivation and practice.
In the human world, embarking on religious practice is considered the first lesson. However, when one aspires to enter religious practice but lacks all necessary conditions, it is essential to first establish a connection with the immortals and Buddhas. This connection allows the immortals and Buddhas to rely on this affinity as a basis for guiding and fostering virtuous causes in the future, as well as for fulfilling the conditions needed to achieve progress in practice.
It is precisely to guide all sentient beings into the second lesson of religious faith. Regarding these conditions of karma in the practice of faith, one often only enters the first or second level of karma. However, through one's own conditions, combined with the thoughts and concepts of faith, one can rely on this to embrace all future lessons in faith.
The Perseverance and Determination Required for Engineering Conditions
When engaging in religious faith, how can one discern the errors in one's own thought processes and the distinctions in interests, and further, what might faith become after fully entering into religion? It should be clear whether it can integrate with the religion as a whole or whether one simply follows one's own inclinations.
It is precisely when one brings into religion their worldly habits, personality, disposition, and inertia, and upon entering a community, it becomes essential to integrate with the group in order to promote and expand its mission. The interplay of these conditions and circumstances determines whether, after embracing religion, one can harmoniously integrate and achieve fulfillment within the community.
Or, when causing harm to a group, one remains fundamentally unaware of one's actions within the collective. Under the influence of habits, personality, inherent nature, and inertia, one cannot clearly perceive one's own conduct. Even peers nearby find it difficult to point out these shortcomings, as they appear unrelated to themselves.
Because each individual cultivates and each individual attains, such conditions make it difficult for a group to achieve great expansion, let alone have a widespread impact. It must be clearly understood from a religious perspective: what are called cultivators, from the viewpoint of immortals and Buddhas, are not so. This is because such individuals often fall into errors upon entering religious faith, and such cases are everywhere!
The contract for the sacred works project is established.
For an organization to carry out and promote its mission in the human world, it must achieve completeness and integration. Only through such completeness and integration can a religion be effectively spread and upheld. Furthermore, in fulfilling sacred duties and addressing various tasks, it is akin to "signing a contract" in the human world.
When such conditions are integrated into religion, they can provide clarity to those in charge. Whether it involves projects dedicated to Heaven or tasks based on sacred duties bestowed by Heaven, both aim to achieve complete and successful outcomes, without distinguishing between projects directed toward Heaven or those directly imparted by Heaven to the human world.
It is essential to understand that in the honest application of all aspects of engineering quality, one must genuinely strive to benefit the welfare of all humanity, achieve perfection to the fullest extent possible, and faithfully fulfill one's duties to Heaven. This means taking responsibility towards Heaven, towards the divine beings, and towards oneself.
How Should the Sacred Work Be Carried Out
When both the celestial immortals in charge of sentient beings and the human leaders fail to achieve perfection, numerous variables arise in the human world, along with hidden obstacles that are difficult to overcome. Moreover, in all human endeavors, it becomes challenging to maintain the correct perspective and navigate the process of change. What can be done when human hearts are prone to change and their thoughts and concepts are misguided?
When encountering difficulties, obstacles, setbacks, or adversities, it is often hard to foresee whether the original plans, timelines, and deadlines can still be met. Moreover, within each endeavor, significant variables exist, making it unclear how such unpredictable hindrances will ultimately shape the process of completion.
There are often those who are brimming with confidence, even going so far as to pledge to the deities and heaven with a thump on their chest. Yet, as soon as they encounter the slightest setback or trial, they immediately retreat, grumbling incessantly, blaming heaven, blaming humanity, blaming religion, and blaming all those involved.
This is an awareness of one's own inability to maintain a fixed direction, and such a condition is exceedingly common among those who hold positions of leadership among humanity. If we were to say: all believers and students are even more so, it is fundamentally difficult for them to establish a central guiding ideology or concept. Moreover, their responses to matters are merely sparked by momentary impulses, lacking any resolute determination to overcome difficulties.
Performance of Completed Sacred Works Projects
Under such conditions, the human world is transformed in a manner that truthfully reflects the fulfillment of the objectives set by Heaven or the conditions of karmic descent. It is essential to understand that in striving toward the goals set by Heaven or in carrying out the sacred missions bestowed by Heaven, celestial beings, immortals, and Buddhas will be dispatched to oversee and assess all individuals involved, all of whom fall within the scope of this supervision and evaluation.
No one will be overlooked in this supervisory assessment, which is given without prior notice or awareness. It is only after actions are taken that the relevant details of how to accomplish the sacred mission and project are evaluated under this supervision, and scores are assigned accordingly.
It is precisely the actions taken in the present that serve as the foundation for the future, establishing the relevant causes and conditions to fulfill the necessary prerequisites. This process does not rely solely on a single entity as its basis. Moreover, many entities are engaged in the same sacred work and mission. How then can we judge which among them will achieve outstanding results in the future?
The decree from Heaven is issued to the world below,  
All sentient beings may bear the teachings of religion.
To sift and select for clarity, discerning which is fit for such a task.
The great undertaking of sacred duties must be understood truly and clearly.
Relevant details are presented truthfully,
Ensuring no causal connections are omitted.
This verse! For all sentient beings and primordial spirits to achieve greater mutual growth, it is essential to understand the conditions set by Heaven for each sacred task. It is not merely a matter of selecting a single unit as the basis for growth; rather, there are numerous units, all designated or assigned to the same sacred mission. Yet, those who can truly accomplish it are exceedingly few!
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lord of the Vast Heaven Governs
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void
November 16, 2004, the fifth day of the tenth month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
Vast and empty, causes and conditions greatly differ;
Colorful cranes soar across the sky's expanse.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the platform to meet the virtuous student;  
The noble work of Chongxin bears the weight of sacred duties.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Celestial Transmission from our lineage descended to compose the seventh chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao," elucidating the sacred tasks and projects of the heavens. This precisely serves as a foundation for all functions within the human world, brought about through human efforts!
Through the descent of divine will from Heaven or the undertaking of projects directed towards Heaven, and by assessing the function and purpose of these projects, there exist conditions for supervising and evaluating all human beings. By integrating and comprehending every detail, one can surely gain clarity in the future regarding how each process within every detail unfolds.
If the significant and noble responsibility is shouldered by only one unit, it becomes difficult to ascertain whether it is fully capable of fulfilling the task to completion! Of course, from the perspective of **Shang Cang**, it would be best if such a noble condition could be accomplished by a single unit, as it could then serve as a basis for the actions decreed by **Shang Cang**.
Consequently, numerous supervisory and assessment measures will be implemented in the future to ensure that every detail is completed as scheduled. This is the foundation for fulfilling the sacred duties and missions entrusted by Heaven, and it applies equally to all religious traditions in the human world, as well as to the sacred responsibilities of temples, shrines, and halls.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect was established under such conditions, and through it, the successive sacred missions of the heavens were accomplished. From this, one can observe the qualities of a leader—what inherent conditions they possess and how they respond to the teachings of the immortals and Buddhas. This serves as the basis for determining whether they are truly capable of shouldering the weighty responsibilities of the future.
How fortunate! The Chongxin lineage has consistently passed each round of such supervisory evaluations, meeting all the criteria set by the Heavens. It has also faithfully accomplished the sacred tasks and projects entrusted by the Heavens. Fortunate indeed! Fortunate indeed! May this fervor and momentum be sustained in the long run, as it will undoubtedly contribute greatly to further promotion and expansion.
"The Great Dao of Haotian" — The submission of the texts is imminent. All preparatory actions are in place, and it is hoped that all students will take action. With everyone united as one, we shall complete the sacred mission entrusted by Heaven. This will serve as the foundation for greater undertakings in the future of the Chongxin lineage. We eagerly anticipate it! We eagerly anticipate it!
Chapter 24: Supervision and Assessment
## Celestial Venerable of the Void's Principle and Order
November 19, 2004, the 18th day of the 10th month in the Jiashen year (Friday)
From the void, destiny descends;  
With brush to dust, the great path extends.
The Heavenly Venerable descends to Chongxin Hall,  
Uniting hearts and minds as is right and proper.
The divine decree is proclaimed to the world to descend and transform.
The divine mandate for all sacred tasks is bestowed precisely so that every religious sect and temple, along with all clergy, leaders, and relevant personnel in the mortal world, may mutually support and fulfill one another. It is through unity of heart and collective promotion that these sacred undertakings are transformed into a guiding foundation.
Through the implementation of all targeted projects for descending blessings, this applies not only to Chongxin but also to all religions in the human world, as well as related temples and shrines. It is based on the objectives of implementation and the various conditions for descending blessings, involving the cooperation between deities, Buddhas, and those in charge.
Unity of purpose is the condition for success.
A sacred mission is thus entrusted to each unit as a project. To ensure that all units are united in purpose from top to bottom, it is first necessary to undergo thorough planning, then integrate the overall design function. Only then can each sacred mission be accomplished, and the role of this process be clearly understood in a timely manner.
It is precisely about dissolving all difficulties and obstacles that may be encountered, as well as every adversity, setback, slander, and bottleneck. Moreover, such conditions must be followed through the commands issued by each individual entity. This is how future fulfillment can be achieved and the conditions for accomplishment can be reached. It is precisely about reducing all errors to the minimal threshold of hindrance.
Moreover, how can we ensure that through the function of overall command, it is imperative to thoroughly implement a single directive from top to bottom, extending into the human world for execution? We must also resolutely overcome all obstacles and difficulties, faithfully completing the sacred mission and striving for perfection. Only in this way can we fulfill the responsibilities entrusted by Heaven.
Unity makes strength immeasurable.
Furthermore, it can integrate the division of labor among various bodies and offices through a sacred mission project, ensuring that each bears its respective responsibilities. In particular, the tasks and missions assigned to each unit must be accomplished within the human world. Within this process, there are inevitably many unforeseen adversities or challenges that are difficult to overcome.
Through the collaboration and division of responsibilities among various organizational units, especially by entrusting the leaders of each unit with the mission of shouldering their duties, the descent of divine will or the targeted projects can be carried out most effectively. Only in this way can the forces be genuinely gathered and integrated, leading to a perfect outcome. This is precisely the authentic efficacy of the descent.
It is essential for all levels to unite as one to achieve completion and to effectively carry out their functions. It can be said that, in relation to the inherent conditions of the mission and tasks, the degree of overall integration is a critically important factor. If it is not possible to coordinate all individual units to collectively fulfill the responsibilities and missions they shoulder, then it will be difficult to smoothly integrate all duties to accomplish them.
To achieve the utmost perfection in all sacred duties and missions, it is essential to understand clearly: whether the responsibilities and missions borne by each unit can be fulfilled or not depends entirely on the mindset and perspective of the leaders in charge of each respective unit.
With single-minded effort, firm determination, and unwavering perseverance, one can achieve success.
By integrating the personnel from all units and emphasizing the necessity of shouldering responsibilities and missions, we can synthesize diverse opinions to establish a general direction for the overall operation. This enables the collective thinking of all individuals to converge toward the refinement of a central guiding principle for the whole.
Without distinguishing between individual units and the overall responsibility, and considering the necessity for all who can shoulder duties and missions, it is essentially an act of "trustworthiness." If there is no mutual integration among the various smaller units, a holistic perspective to unite them will be lacking. To achieve completion, this would be insufficient.
The division of responsibilities and sacred duties among various units is based on a detailed breakdown of smaller components, where each unit is assigned specific tasks to collaborate and fulfill its obligations. This requires thorough planning and meticulous design, as well as attention to every detail, in order to foster unity from top to bottom and achieve greater cohesive strength.
Unity of purpose is essential for concerted action.
Otherwise, each person's thoughts, ideas, and actions cannot be integrated into a unified whole, much like a carriage pulled by multiple horses, making it difficult to advance and promote progress. It is necessary to gather different lines of thought, first design and plan accordingly, and then proceed with construction according to the blueprint. Only then can a more satisfactory completion be achieved.
Thus it becomes clear: what conditions and obstacles will arise in the future? It is essential to first understand all the obstacles existing within the entirety, as well as where the difficulties lie, through the planning and design blueprint. Only after detailed planning and design can construction proceed effectively and in accordance with reality.
Otherwise, one would not go through the process of having already done it, nor understand where all the shortcomings and deficiencies lie? As a result, when it comes time to make revisions later, it would undoubtedly waste a great deal of resources—time, space, manpower, materials, and finances—combined. To carry out an unknown sacred task without encountering difficulties would indeed be strange!
United as one, strength is combined.
For any organization, it is essential to act in accordance with its inherent responsibilities. This is even more crucial for a religious sect or lineage. Only through prior planning and design can all potential difficulties and obstacles be anticipated and simulated on paper, akin to a war game. This approach ensures that, in the future, the conditions for success can be realistically achieved.
Just as in the planning of human engineering projects, where designs are first developed by planning units and then undergo preliminary planning, the difficulties and obstacles of ignorance can be anticipated in advance through the understanding of the designer, who exists within the process. This is precisely the accumulation of experiential growth. Otherwise, how could a design untouched by worldly experience possibly comprehend all the difficulties?
Regarding all endeavors within the sacred mission, how should one approach risks and adversities? Precisely because such conditions exist, the ability to plan and prepare for a project with foresight is the truest means of faithfully executing a command. When all members, from top to bottom, unite in heart to promote and expand the mission, can success be achieved? It is assuredly within reach!
Unity from Top to Bottom: The Condition for Success
This serves as a rather crucial foundation, aiming to eliminate the flaws and deficiencies contained within. It is achieved through the collective force of action, and only by being upheld through this collective force can it gradually reach the stage of successful establishment. In carrying out all sacred duties, it is akin to "engineering cooperation" in the human world.
There is a fusion of collective strength that can even be extended outward, serving as the foundation for all who shoulder responsibilities and missions—this is the true nature of integrity. It can be described as "one word carrying the weight of nine tripods," not the failure of "making promises without keeping them." How, then, should the character of "trust" itself be practiced? And are the eyes of selection sharp enough to make the right choices?
Otherwise, sentient beings in the present could easily renege, and moreover, unilaterally break the covenant. If the sacred tasks and projects cannot be carried through to completion, how can the objectives set by the Heavenly Realm be truly accomplished? Whether it is a goal set by the Heavenly Realm or a mission bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, they are all the same and must be fulfilled.
It is precisely the distinction between "a word as weighty as nine cauldrons" and "making promises without keeping them" that marks the difference between achievement and failure. I believe everyone can perceive this condition, but how does one attain achievement? This is something one must come to understand for oneself. Indeed, all actions in this present life serve as the foundation for the future.
A single word holds the weight of nine tripods, embodying trustworthiness;  
One who speaks without honesty finds it hard to walk alongside others.
The goal of all transformations from heaven above to earth below  
Is uniformly such merit as this.
Sentient beings are hard to fathom,  
Yet the holy work is crafted in reliance upon them.
How to unite as one heart,
With firm resolve to overcome and achieve excellence.
This verse! It complements all religious sects, temples, and halls, and through the union of the presiding immortals and Buddhas of various forms with the presiding figures in the human world, one can clearly distinguish between "a word as weighty as nine tripods" and "empty promises." This understanding will thoroughly penetrate all actions and practices, becoming a foundation for the future!
Chapter 25: The Basis of Ascent and Descent
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void and Spiritual Connection
November 26, 2004, the fifteenth day of the tenth month in the jiashen year (Friday)
Vast and empty, causes and conditions differ greatly,
The colorful spirit descends to meet and unite.
The Immortal Maidens share a bond of deep affection,
With one heart and mind, success is assured.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Heavenly Lord of Void Penfall from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the eighth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." By promoting and establishing unity of heart, we can surely achieve success through both higher and lower realms, spreading this destined affinity. In doing so, we can accomplish our own cultivation while also delivering and transforming all sentient beings!
This kind of causal condition is precisely the unique value of the Dadao series of heavenly scriptures, authored by various celestial immortals and Buddhas. It aims to elucidate and analyze the shortcomings and deficiencies of all temples, halls, and religious sects in the human world. It is hoped that this will genuinely elevate and address all inadequacies in the human realm, thereby achieving true authenticity!
Chapter Twenty-Six: The Great Dao Exalts the Heart
##Void Dao Transmitting Virtue Celestial Worthy
November 30, 2004, the nineteenth day of the tenth month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The golden pen of the void opens wisdom’s gate;  
The Heavenly Lord’s virtue nurtures all with love.
The Ninth Chapter of the Dao Reveres the Heart: A Firm Foundation Is Rightly Expected
The foundation of religious belief is solid.
Unity and integration serve as the foundation for the growth and guidance of all religious sects and lineages. For all causes and conditions, it is only through solidarity and unity of purpose that a stable foundation can be established for expansion and promotion. It must be clearly understood that the human world itself is a driving force for upward advancement—a condition attainable by all human beings.
Only through unity can we have the strength to expand outward. It is essential for all to be of one mind and act in solidarity. Otherwise, if there is a single saboteur, it will hinder all efforts of promotion and expansion. This is not the condition or action that unity should entail. How then should we proceed to achieve beneficial outcomes?
It aims to enhance all educational and cultural curricula, ultimately benefiting one's own students and all sentient beings. Through firsthand materials, this is precisely how it is achieved. Moreover, by using firsthand materials to correct past ways of thinking and perspectives, one can achieve greater progress and elevation than followers of external religious beliefs.
The Necessity of a Solid Foundation
Furthermore, regarding the firsthand materials bestowed through the descent of celestial beings and Buddhas, and conveyed by the preachers: by comprehending the original intent of these celestial beings and Buddhas, and through the personal reception by the presiding figures, one attains a condition of blessed virtue sufficient to transcend, thereby offering sentient beings the opportunity to benefit.
Sentient beings, in their original state of spiritual ignorance and lack of awareness, often create for themselves a veil of obscurity. This leads them to encounter numerous obstacles and difficulties. Faced with their own ignorance and lack of understanding, they neither know how to dissolve these hindrances nor how to resolve them, thus plunging themselves into an even more tragic predicament.
If one fails to lay a solid foundation, even the slightest difficulty or obstacle can lead to complaints against heaven and others, making it impossible to find peace. Instead, one becomes trapped in a narrow mindset, which in turn creates numerous insurmountable obstacles and troubles. From the perspective of the human world, such situations are all too common—indeed, far too many!
Fundamental Role of the Foundation
Sentient beings and primordial spirits must clearly understand: when one's foundation is unstable, how can one achieve the urgency of reforming one's own thoughts? If one cannot integrate this into daily life, blending it with the nourishment of existence and taking survival as the ultimate reliance; if all the worlds in which one exists cannot be separated from this cycle of nurturing life—then such actions are no longer within the realm of human endeavor.
Precisely because clarity is possible, one must ask: have I laid a solid foundation for myself? In reality, even a slight disturbance can undermine all past efforts and established practices. Moreover, those hindered by their own thinking are everywhere to be seen—why is it so difficult to create greater conditions and opportunities for growth? It is essential to develop one’s own way of thinking, perspective, and corresponding actions!
A significant transformation is necessary. If the foundation is not solid, and the influence of religious indoctrination has not exceeded ten years, there may still be room for adjustment. However, if too much time has passed, it will solidify into a predetermined pattern of prior thinking. In such cases, change is unlikely to be achieved overnight.
Establishing a solid foundation requires conceptual understanding.
On the contrary, those with "hard and empty skulls" remain completely unchanged. Because they are deeply entrenched in previously established concepts, such rigid ways of thinking inevitably affect all future achievements and will lead to numerous difficulties. This is precisely why it is essential to choose and forever maintain a "half-full cup" mindset for self-improvement!
To achieve a constructed mode of thinking, and then for sentient beings to engage in religious practice only to end up with an "empty and rigid mindset," is something that can never be changed. If one wishes to return or transcend, it becomes fundamentally impossible! This is precisely because the "previously constructed notions" are already deeply ingrained and exceedingly difficult to alter!
If one is "stubborn and closed-minded," they will inevitably fail to incorporate even the methods of "later-established concepts." Those who can build upon earlier conceptual thinking to achieve success and transcendence are truly admirable and commendable religious believers. The fear is not in lacking ability, but in being forever unwilling to change!
A solid foundation is essential.
When driven by flawed human motives, merely to curry favor and benefit a group, the harm inflicted upon sentient beings is immense. Because the foundation is unstable and preconceived notions are deeply ingrained, if one can achieve something of merit in a lifetime, it is indeed worthy of affirmation and praise for the religion.
If there is only a religion that appears plausible but is actually false, it is undoubtedly a poison that harms sentient beings, undermining their opportunities for return, transcendence, fulfillment, and liberation. I ask all sentient beings: What are your thoughts, beliefs, actions, and responses? Do you lack the wisdom to elevate yourselves? Often, you trap yourselves in a dead end without even realizing it!
For those who hold such faith, the distinction between achievement and non-achievement lies precisely in enabling all sentient beings in this vast world to attain greater personal growth—this is what is correct! The teachings imparted by Chongxin manifest in the great cosmos, representing the boundless care, compassion, and universal love of the Heavenly Realm.
The Function of Stable Conditions
It is precisely through fairness, equality, and a non-interfering approach that all living beings in the vast world can achieve fulfillment, while also allowing oneself greater room for growth. This enables a clear understanding of the virtuous grace bestowed upon the universe and whether the benevolent care of Heaven can be thoroughly comprehended by sentient beings. If one struggles to grasp the mysteries within, how can one proceed?
It is merely that sentient beings enter the human world as seeds of cause for the next cycle of reincarnation, making it exceedingly difficult to comprehend and fulfill the grace and care bestowed by Heaven. If one wishes to have a foundation for transformation, it is better to say that they are confined by a "hard and empty skull," which leaves no room for change, let alone any trace of evolution.
For such sentient beings, can one even speak of pity? They would instead laugh at everyone for being too attached and rigid! From such perspectives—different angles, different levels, different realms, different teachings—this is merely a path chosen by human beings, so what can be done? It is precisely so helpless, and yet utterly beyond help!
A solid foundation promises a flourishing future.
This is precisely the consistent purpose of Chongxin's teachings, which, through the guidance of numerous immortals and Buddhas descending to the human world, integrate the cosmic, ethereal, and primordial causes. These teachings are channeled through the great virtues and blessings of the Haotian World, further manifested in the "Yichi Chongxin Hall." Thus, everyone gains enlightenment directly from firsthand sources.
To truly comprehend that the evolution of heaven and earth bestows virtue and grace upon sentient beings is to clear and dissolve the karmic debts accumulated from past causes and effects. This is the temporal and causal condition for a great undertaking that spans millennia. Moreover, by understanding this line of thought and recognizing the evolutionary processes of heaven and earth, the celestial realms, the boundless void, and the cosmos (the great universe), one can transform and elevate their mindset and perspectives.
This is not merely a personal belief, but rather a transcendence of oneself, further affirmed and confirmed by the celestial immortals and Buddhas. Moreover, in the divine texts authored by the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang," it is not merely a matter of ordinary levels and teachings. It is precisely an opportunity for transcendence that spans millennia. If one’s foundation is not solid, what then will become of it?
It was only after eight years that we were able to more extensively promote and disseminate it. Through these years, we have observed all students in terms of their mindset, actions, responses, and wisdom, which allows us to understand: how is the thinking and approach of each student? This is not what everyone says—that there is no response at all!
A solid foundation and practical actions
In fact, the immortals and buddhas have long been observing and evaluating each student's mindset, actions, responses, and wisdom. They assess the conditions under which one acts, using these as the basis for future achievements. Everything one contributes is scored by the immortals and buddhas, forming the standard and foundation for what is to come.
This is for all the Immortals, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin to establish a solid foundation. It is not merely about performing virtuous deeds; there is also an abundant source of rich resources. If you do not believe it, you can clearly observe: from your former self before joining Chongxin to the present, how much have your appearance, blessings, wisdom, perspectives, and actions changed?
Moreover, how much have the immortals and Buddhas protected and blessed your own families and relatives? To all students: the rights, responsibilities, and obligations granted to you are exercised within the selfless and effortless dedication of all. Throughout this process, the immortal and Buddha teachers have meticulously cared for every aspect of your existence, giving to all of you and receiving in return.
It is hoped that in this lifetime, everyone can transcend alongside the immortals and buddhas, freely traversing the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heavens. This approach is akin to a form of tough love, urging you to strive for excellence. Can you truly comprehend the profound care and intentions of the immortal and buddha teachers? Not necessarily! Only through deep contemplation can one come to realize them.
To wander the world with grace and ease,  
From the boundless void we come, and to it we return.
Traveling across the myriad star systems of the universe,  
We shall surely meet as desired.
A firm foundation is cultivated through deep plowing; virtue and wisdom bring forth the manifestation of blessings.
Step by step, a footprint is left behind;  
The Great Path, revered in the heart, can be truly realized.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all religious sects, all deities and Buddhas, students, and the original spirits of sentient beings. It is precisely by deeply cultivating virtue within one's own actions that one can come to understand whether wisdom, compassion, and universal love are present in one's responses. This constitutes a complete curriculum of cosmic educational culture, benefiting oneself in upward growth and elevation.
Chapter 27: The Great Path of Honoring the Heart
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Assembly
December 3, 2004, the twenty-second day of the tenth month in the jiashen year (Friday).
The void pierces through the opening of the cosmos;  
The spiritual will arranges all sentient beings with feeling.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the stage to meet the virtuous student;  
The grace of Heaven and Earth arrives for all.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Golden Brush and Enlightened Wisdom from the Void of our lineage has descended to compose the ninth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This work establishes a solid foundation, manifesting truthfully in the human world. Sentient beings, if bound by their previous concepts and thoughts, will find it difficult to attain elevation.
It will inevitably influence the future, and can provide a greater role for growth-oriented thinking. When it comes to rigid and solidified beliefs, they will affect the growth of sentient beings. Such conditions are particularly significant in causing harm and obstacles, and this applies to all sentient beings. After entering a religion, if one cannot elevate and transcend, what else can be done?
One must adopt a broader perspective to examine the role of all forms of indoctrination. Rarely can one break free from such shackles; many remain trapped by this harm, confined even to the next life, merely becoming seeds for further cycles of rebirth. We should all feel fortunate to have firsthand information available for reflection, enabling us to reform and elevate our thinking. By carefully considering all strengths and weaknesses and making necessary corrections, we can achieve this ourselves.
Chapter 28: Technological Civilization
## Void-Soaring Dragon Celestial Worthy
December 7, 2004, the twenty-sixth day of the tenth month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
The void traverses the cosmos to arrive,  
The silver brush spreads virtue and grace through the Great Dao.
The Heavenly Venerable bestows the Chongxin Volume,  
Steady and sure progress is all the more essential.
The foundation must be solid and steadfast.
In the endeavor to build a solid foundation through unity, it is essential to achieve the conditions for deep cultivation. This requires not only the manifestation of "virtue," but also the wisdom to create and present "good virtue." Furthermore, it involves seizing opportunities for personal growth and development, all of which must be established through the deep cultivation of foundational work—a necessary and indispensable action.
Otherwise, when even a minor trial arrives, one may quickly become bewildered and even be defeated by numerous hardships and obstacles, thus abandoning the practice of this sacred duty. This set of circumstances and conditions necessitates a "steady and sure" approach in order to achieve success, and to foster growth for all future students.
After several years within a religious context, what should all education and culture be like? It must undergo numerous trials and tribulations, and temper the conditions required to achieve mastery—this is the function of "true gold fears no fire." Only then can one withstand the demands of many experiences and trials, using them for growth and elevation, and through refinement in the human world, bring about transformation.
A solid and steady approach lays the foundation for widespread influence.
Such conditions are provided for all students of the Chongxin lineage to observe: what kind of conditions and qualities are required becomes immediately clear. Although it is said to depend on each individual's state of mind, it is achieved through the application of wisdom and action. That is, one must immerse oneself in this state of consciousness to attain all forms of elevation.
Otherwise, how could one come to understand: whether one can withstand repeated trials and tempering? Moreover, in this life, if one’s blessings are rather abundant and one never encounters many dangers or hardships throughout their lifetime, such favorable conditions are precisely what sentient beings pursue. Yet, under such circumstances, it becomes impossible to achieve transcendence and elevation.
If blessings are too abundant, they can conversely become a source of stagnation and decline. Such conditions and circumstances are precisely what people in the mortal world strive for. However, from the perspective of immortals and buddhas, these achievements do not even amount to one percent of true attainment, nor can they help transcend obstacles. It is difficult to cultivate genuine abilities through external influences and tempering under such circumstances.
It is further demonstrated by immunity, which necessitates enduring numerous trials to achieve growth. It can be said that one gains a clear direction for oneself and an understanding of whether one harbors resentment or dissatisfaction toward the various experiences in the world... All of this allows one to know oneself and discern the actions driven by what causes and conditions.
Stable Conditioning
To be the master of one's own destiny in this world is to forge a strong and resilient character from a fragile frame. Can one withstand the trials of wind and rain? This is the very foundation upon which one shoulders great responsibilities in the future. Otherwise, how can one claim to endure the relentless battering and pursuit of life’s storms?
True gold fears no fire; it can also withstand the relentless ravages of wind and rain. This allows one to test whether their foundation is solid through the trials of "earth, water, fire, and wind," and whether they can endure all external challenges. From a human perspective, this process provides an inner driving force for self-improvement.
If this is not the case, how can one hope to cultivate a group of frail and delicate scholars and students? Because such individuals are often unable to withstand the pressures and challenges of the outside world, and they fail to grow and mature in the human world. How can they achieve solid and steady accomplishments? It is simply impossible!
Steady Strikes: Behavior and Function
Although it is called a "steady strike," it is not directed outward but inward, toward oneself. One must realize that the greatest enemy in the world is not external but precisely oneself! This is because human beings often indulge their own weaknesses and postpone today's duties and missions until tomorrow. If these can indeed be accomplished tomorrow, it might still be excusable.
Day after day, year after year, and even a lifetime after a lifetime slip by. Let us ask ourselves: without any external blows, we are already driven away by our own actions. Yet we still wish to charge forward into the world. Undoubtedly, this is nothing but self-deception, and it is precisely the mindset that "steady progress" should embody.
Rather than subjecting oneself to repeated self-inflicted wounds, it becomes difficult to clearly recognize one's own shortcomings. Moreover, because it is hard to understand the obstacles of one's own ignorance, it is also challenging to maintain the right direction in one's actions. Often, when encountering the crux of a problem, one frequently finds oneself cornered into a situation with no room for maneuver.
In the human world, such circumstances are commonplace. Individuals often lack a truly correct direction for themselves and are deficient in the ability to confidently navigate toward a bright and prosperous future. Under these conditions, the blessings and opportunities that arise—specifically for sentient beings and original spiritual souls—are most prone to encountering bottlenecks and obstacles.
Steadily build conditions to advance.
It is often difficult to have the conditions to fulfill oneself in the present moment. Moreover, can this kind of "steady progress" make one clear-sighted and withstand all external trials and tribulations? This is precisely what foundational work requires—it is about building the necessary conditions. The importance lies in whether one "deeply cultivates the foundation," which is even more crucial for upward growth, enhancement, and transcendence.
It is precisely because of the need to firmly establish one's own foundation that the conditions for self-transformation are secured, providing a guiding light toward the broad path of the future world. Whether this foundation is deeply rooted determines whether one can withstand external trials and tribulations in the future.
It is the primary factor for achieving success in oneself, and because of this solid foundation, one can deeply root oneself in their inherent capabilities. These conditions of cause and effect allow one to clearly discern whether there are shortcomings or deficiencies within themselves, making it evident throughout the course of any endeavor.
Sentient beings are indeed as such; it is through accumulating all experiences in the human realm that one can cultivate a robust immunity. Only then can one genuinely create room for growth and progress. For oneself, this raises the question: Are future goals correct? And can one rely on a proper direction for oneself?
The Necessity of a Steady and Methodical Approach
One must truthfully forge ahead towards a bright future. The human world is itself a process of learning and growth; by embracing this, one can fulfill all necessary conditions and circumstances for development, thereby benefiting from it. It is essential to discern whether one possesses the qualities and conditions to withstand trials and tempering opportunities.
The importance of deep-rooted foundations lies in immersing oneself in the human world to achieve success, which is accumulated through rich experience. This is further elevated by the worldly wisdom that "without experiencing something, it is difficult to gain wisdom." This holds true throughout the vast world, transcending all religions and nations.
The human world is a realm for learning and accumulating experience. Without such a process of gradual cultivation, how can one amass rich experiences and reap rewards? It is precisely by deeply embedding oneself in these causal conditions and reflecting on one's own position within them that one becomes a great wise being capable of ascending and transcending, taking on the responsibility and making the choice to grow upward.
It will not merely cling to the goodness and depth of blessings and rewards. Instead, by distinguishing between the rise and fall of such causes and conditions, one can achieve fulfillment through one's own efforts. Moreover, by accumulating all the processes and experiences one undergoes in the human world, one will ultimately transcend and elevate oneself to a higher realm in the future.
Conditions for a Steady and Sure Approach
It is precisely under such conditions that the fulfillment of all sentient beings in the world of living beings is achieved. Because they possess blessings and merits, if they are not tempered by the trials of external wind, frost, rain, and snow, how could one witness the hardships and sufferings endured by a great accomplished being? It is through the refining fire that true gold is tested, and in the human realm, it is also through the merciless ravages of water and fire that one is tempered.
This describes the process experienced by a compassionate immortal or Buddha, as well as all sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings. All rely on the Heavenly Heart Holy Mirror of the Supreme Heaven, which deepens the energy bodies of self-generated radiance. This radiance is both bestowed and accumulated by oneself, and ultimately reaped through one's own efforts.
The human realm is precisely a world of transformation, where beings either ascend or descend. Countless sentient beings yearn for a bright and clear path ahead in their future journey. Yet, can such aspirations truly be fulfilled? It is exceedingly difficult! Only through repeated trials and tempering, time and again, can one discern what qualities are required of one who is to ascend in the future.
Can there be a karmic condition for achieving the status of a sage, immortal, Buddha, Bodhisattva, or exalted being? One must undergo countless battles, each time defeating oneself, and each time rising again. Such repeated experiences of failure become the very driving force for the next endeavor, and through this process, future growth is cultivated through transformation. Is this not so?
United in heart to promote and expand, with a solid foundation for development.
Having endured countless battles and overcome hardships, the wisdom gained can be passed down and shouldered.
The root of all sentient beings  
Can be tempered to achieve truth.
Step by step, each footprint leaves a mark;  
Every mark, steadfast, becomes a guide.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original souls; it is about whether one can endure countless trials, and after each and every battle, manage to defeat oneself and rise again, rather than seeking to defeat others externally—which only brings temporary victory and may lead to self-indulgence, making one believe they are extraordinary.
Chapter 29: Blessings Bestowed Upon All Living Beings
## Holy Mother of the Celestial Void
December 10, 2004, the 29th day of the tenth lunar month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The void and infinite permeate the cosmos,  
The spiritual aperture, endowed with feeling, can attain fulfillment.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the dais to meet the virtuous student;  
Eight years of reverent cultivation at Chongxin have borne fruit.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Lord of the Great Tao of the Void Silver Pen from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the tenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This chapter provides a reverse exposition on the principle of steady and solid progress, aiming to help everyone understand how to build a firm foundation through steadfast and diligent efforts.
In the face of one's own lack of experience and knowledge, how can one enhance and accumulate wisdom to transcend these limitations? This is a challenge faced by all sentient beings in the human world. Achieving self-fulfillment and elevation is precisely what allows the lineage of the Chongxin Sect to benefit endlessly. Likewise, it is through this very process that the compassionate immortals and Buddhas of the past attained their accomplishments.
It is rare for one to have a smooth journey with consistently good fortune, as this makes it difficult to truly accumulate experience and undergo genuine trials. For a truly accomplished immortal or Buddha, it is precisely through such a bitter and arduous process that one achieves success in the human world, and it is this journey of achievement that is shared with all.
The submission of "The Great Dao Hao Tian" is imminent. All preparations must be thorough. With so many years of experience, if progress remains elusive, could it be that the methods are flawed? If one remains unaware of their own weaknesses, what more can be done? It is precisely in times of smooth sailing that one's determination and perseverance may wane. This calls for deep reflection.
Episode 30: Advanced Technology
## Celestial Sovereign of Soaring Through the Void
December 17, 2004, the sixth day of the eleventh month in the jiashen year (Friday)
The Venerable Heavenly Lord of the Principle Governing Emptiness,  
The Boundless One Who Pervades All and Honors the True Heart.
The Eleventh Chapter of the Great Dao Honoring the Heart: Spreading and Expanding to Achieve Universal Harmony
Unity of hearts and minds can propagate and expand.
To establish the foundation of a devoted heart, it is essential to have a solid base and to proceed steadily and surely. Only then can the entirety be promoted and expanded. This is how one comes to understand every aspect and process of the sacred duties of the Great Dao: how to fulfill them, and how to develop the capacity to shoulder the great responsibilities for oneself, for all beings, and for the Heavenly Realm.
Unity of purpose is essential for genuine propagation. How, then, should we propagate? It is through guiding actions in the human world that can start from small beginnings and grow to benefit the masses. Even the most obscure corners can become sites for widespread transformative action. This is the very opportunity that guiding actions provide.
How can one develop genuine faith in their own lineage, allowing it to inspire the roles they recognize within themselves, and further join the ranks of propagating and promoting the teachings through drawing connections? For all relatives and friends around, this marks the beginning of such connections. In the compassionate realm of religion, there is no distinction between large or small, high or low, nor between many or few.
Conditions for Promotion and Dissemination
It is within the overall framework of requirements that one must understand the responsibilities and missions borne by each component. This very condition for promoting awareness allows one to immerse oneself in the supportive role of faith, confirming that it is truly worthwhile to devote oneself to it. Moreover, it can guide relatives, friends, and peers to join, thereby strengthening the force with new vitality.
With more people, tasks become easier to accomplish. A larger group allows the strengths of each individual to be fully utilized, enabling the guidance and elevation of all students and newcomers. From this, we can understand the foremost priority in promoting a cause: it is essential to foster empathy and unity, which in turn helps everyone develop a correct and shared understanding of ideas.
It can be achieved through the guidance of conditions, by bringing the perfection and diligence within religious faith into the power of reliance on faith. This, under the conditions for propagation, will avoid many adverse troubles and obstacles, providing genuine driving force for propagation. Moreover, religion itself is like a vast dye vat; how to "purify the stains" is the true path!
Promoting Fundamental Actions
Moreover, the ability to unite and integrate lies in understanding how, in all actions, it should be a collective effort with one heart, rather than each holding onto their own intentions. Without this, it becomes difficult to achieve unity, and there can be no talk of promotion and expansion. This condition is further shaped by the inherent causes and conditions within religion itself, as well as the inspirations drawn from the manifestations of immortals and buddhas.
It is precisely through the determination and courage of the leaders that a great convergence of strength is achieved, enabling the promotion and expansion of the whole. This is exactly as it should be! It is also accomplished by uniting the collective power, allowing all sacred missions to reach perfect fulfillment and benefiting all beings across the vast universe. This is indeed the right path!
This is precisely the mindset and conditions that an expansion should possess. From this, it becomes clear that expansion involves promoting the strengths of one's own religion, guiding others to achieve success through a correct understanding of its virtues. With such recognition, one can fully devote themselves to it, making it evident that the power of religion cannot be overlooked.
Expanding the Framework of Basic Conditions
In the endeavor to promote and expand, it is essential to have individuals who uphold and protect it. Otherwise, if immortals and Buddhas speak only of their own ways, and human beings simply go about their own affairs, what then? How can it be said that promotion is possible? Without such support, expansion would inevitably be difficult. One must personally embody the conditions for expansion, immersing oneself in the process while also guiding and inviting friends and family to participate.
This is the achievement through the guidance of affinity, further safeguarded by immortals and Buddhas, granting greater confidence and perseverance to attain harmony. It also establishes the true driving force of faith and reliance. Not only does it provide oneself with greater room for growth, but it also enables mutual fulfillment among family and friends. Throughout all past dynasties, it has always been this way!
It is to bestow upon all living beings, so as to achieve boundless benefit. If, in the process of expansion, it cannot bring benefit to all living beings, but only to a small handful of individuals, it can be said to be merely self-admiration. In that case, it cannot be expanded for the purpose of propagation, given such conditions for expansion.
Expanding the True Purpose and Function
It is about guiding people through people, relying on truth as the foundation. This not only allows oneself to benefit but also enables all living beings to benefit. This is the ability to genuinely establish a cognitive understanding of a beneficial space, as well as a recognition of values. With such conditions and connections, it provides all human beings with opportunities to gain and reciprocate.
It involves not only promoting but also expanding, offering genuine opportunities for benefit to all living beings. This is the true way to achieve ascension and transcendence for Heaven, all beings, and sentient life. Otherwise, mere accomplishments are difficult to transcend, remaining confined to the human realm and offering little true elevation for the spirituality of all beings.
Even if it starts from a small, obscure corner, one should not think that such a corner is insignificant. For all compassionate religions, they spread and expand from these small corners to the entire world. It is clear that even today’s five major religions have flourished and expanded in precisely this way.
Promote and Expand the Necessity of Staff Operations
This entails traversing a path of considerable hardship, built upon the efforts and sacrificial devotion of all predecessors and sages within the religion. Only then can it gain recognition within a region or nation, enabling its propagation and expansion. It requires the united commitment of all, advancing together toward the educational goals of the religion.
This allows everyone to understand that all religious sects and lineages today are similarly shaped by the need for leaders to possess broad vision and an open mind, coupled with the diligent efforts of their staff. In particular, the role of the secretariat is especially crucial and significant, as it can be seen as the key factor determining success or failure.
One can carefully observe that the advisory work of Zhuge Kongming during the Three Kingdoms period played a pivotal role in assisting the development and expansion of the Shu state. In terms of its historical significance, it is truly commendable and noteworthy. Moreover, the importance of advisory work throughout history contributed to the legacy of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Can one grasp the profound essence of this?
Seeing the group unite as one heart,  
The foundation is firmly laid and thus guided.
Expanding and Promoting Significance: Staff Work Truly Wins
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms from ancient times  
Establishes the foundation of history for millennia to come.
The current situation remains the same,  
With unity from top to bottom, we perform and explain.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits; it is about how to fulfill, promote, and expand the importance of the duties, responsibilities, and missions entrusted by Heaven to all living beings. Only by doing so can we truly benefit humanity, allowing goodness to flourish through our own efforts.
Episode 31: Deep-Sea Resources
##Void Principle Virtue Guanyin Bodhisattva
December 21, 2004, the tenth day of the eleventh month in the jiashen year (Tuesday)
Vast emptiness differs greatly in cause and condition;  
Spiritual energy resonates with heartfelt devotion.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the platform to meet the virtuous,  
Together they discuss the promotion and expansion of their shared cause.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Heavenly Venerable of the Void Principle Governance from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao" — Promotion and Expansion. This chapter imparts the understanding and perspective of unity in heart and mind, enabling our surrounding relatives and friends to share in the blessings and fortune that are thereby enhanced.
How can one truly benefit oneself, not merely within one's own nation, but also extend it to the entire universe? This is the true nature of reality. It is also a condition that should be fulfilled for the unity of all, and in the establishment of the revered heart, various methods are employed to observe the mindset and actions of a leader and all students.
Furthermore, how does wisdom manifest in response? After eight years of foundational work, it cannot be said to be shallow. It precisely incorporates future adversities into the present, even examining them ahead of time, allowing everyone to understand their own perspectives. If unity of purpose cannot be achieved, various bottlenecks and obstacles will arise from all angles.
This is yet another opportunity granted to everyone, a chance to witness and grow within the profound workings of destiny. Without such opportunities, how could a great lineage be established, one that guides all sentient beings across the sea of suffering? Through these years, up to the present moment, it can dissolve all disputes and conflicts, resolving every issue.
In this process, everyone views things from their own perspective, making it difficult to adopt a holistic viewpoint and unite as one. This is due to the flawed approach of judging the whole through one's own lens, rather than examining one's own shortcomings from the collective standpoint. Hence, the saying becomes clear: "Others' flaws are many; one's own flaws are none."
Is this truly the case? Not at all! Borrowing a phrase often spoken by the Patriarch of the Li Bi Sect recently, it is: "Look at your own shortcomings instead!" Do not impose past misconceptions onto others—that cannot promote expansion. The fact that such a situation no longer exists in the present is indeed something to celebrate!
We must strive even harder! The time for propagation is at hand. It relies on everyone uniting as one to promote it, so that it may spread across the entire universe. The efforts made by all virtuous students in recent months have truly touched this teacher’s heart. It is only right to further strengthen our unity and work together to expand and propagate, for this is the true path!
Today, the Holy Mother has instructed: bestowing three cups of great blessing and nectar upon all, to increase your fortune and enhance your virtue. All devoted disciples have worked diligently to uphold the faith; let us continue to strive with greater effort! The propagation of the true teachings has now truly begun. It is hoped that this year will be a pivotal opportunity for profound transformation, and by starting our efforts from this very moment, everyone may attain it!
Chapter Thirty-Two: The Economic System
##Void-Saving Living Buddha
December 24, 2004, the 13th day of the 11th lunar month, Year of Jia Shen (Friday)
The Void and the Infinite span heaven and earth;  
The Way transmits virtue to illuminate truth.
The Heavenly Venerable descends to bestow reverence upon the heart,  
Guiding all beings to establish the foundation of a Buddha-mind.
Only through propagation and expansion can all beings be delivered.
The foundation for promoting and expanding lies in solidifying the genuine groundwork of construction, which is achieved through one's own journey and actions. It depends on whether one dedicates heart and effort to enriching all resources and the learning process. Only then can true results be attained, offering sentient beings and primordial spirits the opportunity to learn and grow.
This will not bypass the threshold of human existence; rather, it allows one to benefit and grow. Moreover, the experiences accumulated through the process of cultivation can serve as the driving force for future benefits—the very foundation for elevation. This is precisely the guiding principle employed by the Supreme Divine, and it applies equally to all sages, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings in their compassionate efforts to guide and transform.
This statement applies without distinction to any religious sect or lineage. By providing oneself with the conditions for genuine benefit, one can truly come to understand. It is about enabling oneself to benefit, as well as creating the conditions for sentient beings to benefit, offering all human beings the means to genuinely achieve their goals and attain efficacy.
To guide all beings to enlightenment, one must have a method.
It is about advancing oneself toward genuine attainment, which can also serve as the foundation for achievement, allowing one to both seek higher wisdom and transform the mundane. For sentient beings, this is precisely the driving force behind all accomplishments. How can one liberate oneself while also elevating others? This is a process of personal achievement and growth, as well as the refinement of learning experiences into tangible results.
From the perspective of the human world, all sentient beings are capable of applying principles and functions to understand the processes of their immediate environmental conditions. For the original spirits of sentient beings, this applies to their own growth, the growth of all beings, and even to the vast cosmos. This is what "deliverance" entails—it must be achieved through the curriculum of education and culture.
It is precisely the cultivation of resources and merits that can be achieved through guiding sentient beings, which also constitutes an educational and cultural curriculum. This holds true regardless of whether it pertains to the past or the present, and one may also say that it will remain so in the future. Moreover, the very concept of "deliverance" serves as the driving force for accomplishment, applicable equally to all sentient beings, sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings.
The Establishment of Salvation Objectives
For the myriad sentient beings in the vast world, there is an opportunity to guide and transform their inherent dispositions, which indeed serves an uplifting purpose. Through external circumstances, sentient beings can decide for themselves whether to accept it or not. However, if it is not a choice made by oneself but rather imposed by others, that would indeed be lamentable!
Sentient beings are precisely those who can determine themselves. Regarding the choice of "to want or not to want," this again constitutes a fundamental condition necessary for the unfolding of causes and conditions in the environment. It can be achieved through: mindset and concepts as thoughts, reaching a state of wisdom in response, thereby enabling oneself to fulfill both achievable and unachievable factors.
Because in the process of guiding sentient beings toward enlightenment, one can make one's own decisions, and within the conditions that allow for such determination, there lies a distinction between being the master of oneself or the slave of oneself. It is under these circumstances, and in the present era of the human world, that the boundary between the ascent and descent of the original spirits of sentient beings is defined.
Can sentient beings benefit themselves?
It is a choice made based on conditions of "benefit or non-benefit" to oneself, yet it is also the original spirit of a sentient being deeply immersed in the five turbidities of this evil world. Because one does not know why one came, why one was born, or what purpose one serves in this human world, and remains unaware of the entirety of one's journey and future, such ignorance is often inevitable!
The accumulation of various delusions creates a profound barrier of ignorance. Sentient beings in this deeply afflicted era of the Five Turbidities remain unaware of how to transcend this world or escape the Three Evil Paths and Six Realms. Confined within the human realm, they struggle to fully comprehend their present circumstances.
How should all actions be undertaken in the future? Even with the conditions of ignorance, how can one comprehend all the paths that lie ahead? Often, one struggles to understand these cyclical afflictions, which in turn dominate the self. Originally, one ought to strive upward to attain the complete conditions for immeasurable—blessings and wisdom.
The Necessity of Delivering Sentient Beings
Yet often, things do not go as one wishes. All the misdeeds committed over countless lifetimes accumulate and combine. When all the karmic creditors come to demand repayment, how can one possibly understand what the future holds? How, in the present moment, can one break free from these shackles? It is about transcending such limitations by elevating oneself within the very existence of this earthly star system.
If it is so difficult to understand where we come from, what we are here to do, and what we ought to accomplish, then these repeated uncertainties combine to form the most profound obstacle for sentient beings to comprehend! Moreover, what are the conditions for survival among human beings?
That is to say, for sentient beings: the proliferation of countless thoughts is precisely a process where the previous thought has not yet faded away, and the next thought arises again; the previous thought has not yet ceased, and the following thought adds on. In relation to: past thoughts, present thoughts, and future thoughts, there exists a continuous flow of the three temporal states, all interacting and cycling within one another. If one cannot settle the mind and become one’s true self, what else can be done?
Sentient beings are a species born of myriad thoughts.
This cyclical interplay, when compounded over time, renders sentient primordial spirits fundamentally incapable of escaping the cycle of samsara, thereby forming a world that inflicts suffering upon all living beings. Moreover, all phenomena arise from "karmic cause and effect," which further binds human beings, making it impossible for them to transcend all obstacles within the Earth's planetary system.
It is also difficult to understand how one should act and what one should do. Often, in religion, such limitations are attributed to the "thoughts and consciousness" of sentient beings, and it is believed that merely having faith in religion can truly lead one back to the heavenly world. Little do they realize that this notion is quite alarming!
It is precisely from within one's own "thoughts and consciousness" that if one cannot purify their own mind and awareness, it is fundamentally impossible to achieve a lifetime of return and transcendence! Moreover, in the current earthly realm, this holds true for all living beings: it is the interplay and influence of "celestial gravity and earthly gravity" that mutually shape and affect existence.
The Mind and Consciousness of Sentient Beings in the Path of Liberation
To exist within the Earth's galaxy, yet find oneself unable to break through its limitations, makes the desire to transcend this galaxy and all sentient beings within it undoubtedly more difficult than ascending to the heavens. For the Earth's galaxy, it is precisely a constraining energy—one forged by the gravitational force at its core—that enforces this reality.
Otherwise, for the myriad primordial spirits, who are truly grounded with their feet on solid earth and whose heads are covered by the heavens, it is precisely under such conditions of cause and effect that they exist, without distinguishing whether they inhabit the Earth's galaxy or other galaxies! There would then arise a limiting barrier of energy, which, for all living beings in existence, would require immense energy to possess.
The primary objective and efficacy lie in transcending the planetary system, specifically countering the conditions of survival and dependence fostered by gravitational forces. It is precisely through mutual gravitational attraction that the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of the divine are disseminated across all galaxies, enabling growth and benefit. This process allows for choices based on the depth of one's own accumulated blessings and affinities.
To guide all beings to enlightenment, there must be genuine and tangible efficacy.
Through the interplay of fortunate affinities, the sentient spirit beings of Earth's planetary system are enabled to ascend beyond mere survival orientation. In other star systems, such conditions give rise to "translocation and transformation" energy bodies, manifesting as one form of physical incarnation and another form of spiritual incarnation—thus creating these two distinct modes of being.
It forms a demarcation point between ascent and descent, which applies to all divine beings, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted sages alike. This is further facilitated by distinctions such as "relocating to other realms or transforming other lands." Another approach involves achieving this through technology or by means of virtue and merit energy.
The demarcation between these two realms is precisely the condition for the mutual cycle of time and space transformation, which alone can give rise to such opportunities. Without understanding the energy entity of "transforming other places and being transformed by other places," it is difficult to attain genuine benefit and efficacy. Hence, the distinction lies in the functions of physical rebirth and merit-based rebirth.
Sentient beings are guided across,  
Education and culture may diverge.
Superior and inferior are distinguished by causes and conditions;  
Transcending the cycle of rebirth is a matter of numbers.
The Great Way esteems the heart as its foundation,  
Sentient beings, original spirits, enter the Buddha-land.
One step, one footprint,  
Each print solidly shapes who I am.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original souls; it is about achieving through the salvation of all beings, seldom elaborated upon in the human world through the dissemination of karma. This represents another level of spiritual elevation, where one attains a state of accomplishment and efficacy that not only benefits oneself but also brings blessings to all sentient beings.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Ample Provisions
##Wuji Yaochi Lingbao Immortal Child
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.  
Spirit meets spirit, and all beings commune.
The fairy maiden ascends the stage with heartfelt sentiment,  
Yet the fulfillment of fate's bond is not the same for all.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous sages, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Virtual Dao Transmission and Virtue from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Reverence of the Great Dao in the Heart." This chapter provides a deeper analysis of the causes and conditions for guiding sentient beings toward achievement at another level, allowing everyone to cultivate virtuous thoughts and perspectives, and to attain an even greater level of elevation.
It is through all past causes and conditions that the boundary between one's transcendence and ascent or descent into samsara is determined. The human world is deeply mired in the age of the five impurities, where troubles and afflictions are far too numerous. For the sake of livelihood and its underlying causes, problems arise endlessly, and it is difficult to know how to resolve them.
Furthermore, there are numerous reasons for the troubles surrounding the issue of survival. Can one truly achieve success in the human world all at once? Certainly not! Only by constructing thoughtful concepts to facilitate growth and learning can we progress step by step, leaving a solid imprint, and thus become the driving force for transcendence and return. Recently, everyone has been working quite hard, and with the upcoming eighth anniversary temple celebration, we are somewhat short-handed. Let us all put in more effort. Farewell for now!

序言、讚曰、頌賀
##Void Fortune Bright King
The boundless void of the cosmos unfolds,  
As dragons soar across the sky, spreading virtue far and wide.
The Heavenly Venerable descends to bestow upon the reverent heart,  
Seeking the boundless principle, as is fitting.
Seeking boundless wisdom for ascension
To propagate and expand the sacred mission of delivering all sentient beings, it is essential to possess genuinely effective functions and benefits, as well as truly abundant resources and sustenance. Through one's own actions and endeavors, one must strive to achieve transcendence within a single lifetime. Moreover, such causes and conditions must contribute to fostering virtuous circumstances in the human world.
Sentient beings, in determining their own path of survival, must truly grant themselves endless benefits, so that their daily existence can clearly obtain abundant resources through their own actions! This means an endless pursuit, which is the accumulation of rich resources and experiences for one's own existence.
One must be able to draw from one's immediate surroundings to facilitate personal growth, thereby accumulating experience. This is acquired through the process of learning and maturing, a condition that also requires navigating the trials of human existence. Through one's own efforts, it becomes possible to align with the orientation of survival in the world, finding sustenance and support in all aspects of life.
Seeking wisdom above, transforming sentient beings below.
It is precisely within religion that one benefits and learns to grow, thereby becoming the master of oneself in the present moment rather than a slave to oneself. Many sentient beings and primordial spirits are unable to clearly perceive the obstacles to their existence, yet their actions and deeds serve as the very basis for discerning all future growth.
Thus, one can achieve: whether one can grow within a single lifetime, or sink into the cycle of rebirth to come again in the next life, one must allow oneself to attain clarity in the present moment! And because there is clarity in understanding one's own role, it is also about whether one can achieve transcendence in the human world within a single lifetime—this is not certain!
Sentient beings often entangle themselves in predicaments from which it is exceedingly difficult to extricate themselves, and they struggle to break free from the obstacles of "boundless suffering." This is the greatest sorrow of sentient beings! It is through the process of learning, by allowing themselves to undergo a lifetime of cultivation, that they can achieve fulfillment and integrate all the teachings and wisdom of the immortals and buddhas.
The Purpose of Seeking Growth
It is to allow oneself to understand, through contemplating the process of causes and conditions as elucidated by immortals and buddhas, thereby examining one's own thinking—whether it remains hindered by ignorance or struggles to achieve genuine elevation. One must establish a correct perspective in order to truly benefit and grow.
In the present moment, can one achieve transcendence and return in a lifetime? To seek elevation requires a correspondingly low-key approach; to forever maintain the measure of half a cup of water (a bucket, a lake, an ocean) for transcendence is to truly enter into all experiences of upward elevation, and to genuinely benefit oneself.
Within the realm of religion, one can indeed benefit endlessly. However, sentient beings often become obscured by their own religious beliefs, which hinders the conditions for their return. Through the clarity of all heavenly realms, it becomes evident: why do religious practitioners cling more strongly to the notion of "self-attachment" than ordinary sentient beings who have not entered religious practice?
The boundless pursuit of wisdom is the foundation for elevation.
It is precisely because it is boundless, immeasurable, and unrestricted—a limitless and immeasurable reservoir of virtue and wisdom that can be accumulated through personal experience—that the human world, obscured by its own ignorance and obstacles, often leads individuals into predicaments that are exceedingly difficult to resolve. This is precisely why one turns to religion, for such is its function!
It is merely confined within one's own religion, and one believes that their faith is the only supreme one in the world. However, they fail to realize that, from the perspective of the impartial and equal nature of Heaven, the educational and cultural aspects of all religions in the human world are precisely derived from a spirit of equality, non-interference, and universal love. Only in this way can the impartiality and equality of each religion be upheld.
Furthermore, in the functions of universal love, purity, compassion, mercy, and non-action, there is no distinction: all religious traditions—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and others—are alike in this regard. Observing the teachings and curricula of each religion, every tradition possesses its own unique strengths, each worthy of verification and clear propagation!
Continuous upward elevation is essential.
However, within each religion, there exist numerous inherent shortcomings and deficiencies that are difficult to change. It is clear that to attain immeasurable and boundless wisdom and virtue, one must integrate the strengths and weaknesses of all religions. Only then can one truly elevate and benefit from the construction of one's own thoughts and beliefs. This is an essential understanding for humanity.
It is also boundless and endless in its elevation. Regarding the sages, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, one can understand this through the causes and conditions achieved in the past. It is precisely by enduring all the trials and tribulations of the human world, along with numerous obstacles, adversities, setbacks... so many trials and hardships!
By drawing upon and elucidating the accumulated merits of all immortals and buddhas from their past experiences, one can achieve a process of continuous learning and boundless benefit. It is precisely through the function of such causes and conditions that one can genuinely advance in the learning process, gaining elevation and transcendence, thereby achieving upward growth and surpassing one's former self.
Seeking boundless wisdom from above.
Among all religions: the founders, revered leaders, and saints, the trials and experiences they endured in the past have accumulated as valuable lessons. These serve as a mirror for future generations of sentient beings and original spirits, providing them with reference and guidance based on experience. This clarifies how a single immortal or Buddha underwent all the trials of the past, and what can be learned from them.
It is precisely because experiences can be borrowed and regenerated. But how does this function of conditional causation work? It is through the accumulated experiences of past immortals and Buddhas, which serve as the foundation for achievement, offering reference and guidance for all religious practitioners! This not only allows oneself to benefit, to achieve progress and elevation, but also enables all sentient beings to advance.
Such conditions enable future cultivators in the present to transcend the limitations of being bound solely to the teachings and karmic connections of a single religion. Instead, they can integrate the teachings and karmic connections of all religions, which complement and reinforce one another. This allows both themselves and all sentient beings to ascend directly within a single lifetime to the realms of the Wuji Heavenly Principle or the Vast Heaven World, and even to the great cosmic universe of the void!
To seek wisdom, one must do so within the human world.
In the human world, one observes oneself to achieve thorough understanding. Through gaining genuine benefits and efficacy in this realm, and by discerning the strengths and weaknesses of all religions—what each religion lacks and what it excels in—one can truly clarify how to perfect oneself and guide all sentient beings.
Those with significant karmic affinity are precisely those who manifest in the human world, elevated by the causes and conditions of their accomplishments, without distinction among religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, Christianity, or Islam. They appear in the human realm like a single flower with five petals, embodying a unified essence: justice, equality, universal love, non-action, purity, compassion, and mercy—integrating these virtues across different faiths.
Such conditions allow sentient beings to elevate themselves through successive cycles of cultivation and trials. Each time they pass these examinations while in the human realm, they are granted the great fortune of an attachment process. However, in past eras and circumstances, such exceptional conditions for fulfillment were not available. How fortunate! How fortunate indeed!
The fruition of causes and conditions is not the same,  
Thus do immortals and Buddhas experience their work.
The sages of the five teachings set the standard,  
Fulfilling causes and conditions as they reach their destined end.
One entity as the capacity for understanding,  
Equality and universal love are selfless.
Pure and true is the compassion that bestows mercy and empathy,  
Vastly transforming sentient beings, the virtue of heaven is granted.
This verse! It is about the mutual fulfillment among all sentient beings and original souls; it is also the accumulation and dissemination of all growth experiences. We should rejoice in being able to participate in this present process of karma, which differs from the past and is distinct from all previous achievements in elevation!

##Wuji Yaochi Zhenbao Xiantong
The emptiness of cause and condition is not the same;  
In heaven and on earth, sentient beings bow in reverence.
The Holy Mother ascends the platform to meet the virtuous disciples;  
The Great Path honors the heart, bringing them together in reunion.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Void Soaring Dragon from our lineage has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This chapter addresses the boundless aspirations of sentient beings, systematically elaborating on how to remedy one’s own shortcomings and deficiencies.
It also compensates for the deficiencies and shortcomings of all five religions, making it clear that all survival dependencies in the human world should integrate religious faith into daily life. Thus, life and faith are not separated but are interconnected and mutually supportive. Can sentient beings understand how religious faith is practiced in the human world, and how it can be cultivated and refined?
It is essential to have a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of one's own religion, rather than accepting it blindly and without question. If one can avoid bias toward their own faith and refrain from viewing it as the sole supreme truth, their thinking and perspectives will become fair, equal, and impartial. This approach is endlessly beneficial for personal growth. For those who doubt this, I encourage you to give it a try!
This sense of justice and equality serves as the foundation for future accomplishments. It does not discriminate based on notions of impurity between you and me, nor does it hold that one's own belief is the foremost in the world while all others are secondary religions. Without this, it is difficult to attain the achievements of return and transcendence. This truly forms the basis for the karmic conditions of one's future attainments.
It is hoped that one can deeply comprehend the great compassion and profound grace of the immortals and Buddhas, which guide the salvation and teachings of all religions with fairness and equality, urging us to ascend, grow, and transcend.
Chapter 36: Transcending the Cosmos
##Void Sacred Virtue, Heavenly Holy Mother
Vast are the causes and conditions in the void of the cosmos;  
The phoenix soars across the sky, shining with auspicious light.
The Heavenly Venerable descends to the Chongxin Hall,  
Bestowing abundant blessings, wisdom, and grace.
Accumulation of Merit and Wisdom
To seek boundless growth amidst infinite causes and conditions, one must possess inexhaustible virtue and wisdom. Only then can one be fully equipped to uplift all sentient beings, sages, immortals, and Buddhas, as well as the multitudes of living beings, thereby allowing virtue and wisdom to expand further and bring greater benefit. It is essential to be truly abundant and complete within, in order to achieve elevation and accomplishment.
Talent, when enriched by virtue and wisdom, can endure long and without deviation. This is the inherent and sought-after goal of all sentient beings, from sages, immortals, and buddhas to the multitudes in the human realm. It is also the essential action and efficacy required for achievement—a condition that should be possessed without distinction in any celestial realm or any world of humanity.
For those without the fortune to encounter sages, immortals, Buddhas, or sentient beings, there is also no virtue to be fully realized. The enjoyment of fortune lies precisely in its ability to create all good causes and conditions. Through the past, by relying on the field of merit where fortune is cultivated, such fortune can be fully possessed for growth and benefit.
The Conditions for Complete Blessings
Only then can it truly be endowed to all sentient beings, including immortals, Buddhas, saints, deities, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, enabling them to accumulate the blessings necessary to soar through the heavens. If one is unable to fully attain and accumulate such blessings, it becomes impossible to exist within any celestial realm, to grow, and to receive the nourishment of virtuous grace. This is precisely the essential energy and resources that all saints, deities, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings must possess.
It is virtue that enables one to soar freely through any realm. This genuine and potent source of energy, if possessed by those with fortune but lacking virtue, may grant them the path but not the true essence, making it difficult to achieve genuine growth and efficacy. For those endowed with virtue, this energy radiates fully, bestowing boundless grace that shelters not only themselves but also all living beings.
It is the source of nourishment for genuine upward advancement, and it is also inherent in virtue. It grants the capacity for ascent, elevation, and transcendence, serving as the fundamental driving force. Without virtue, one lacks the true conditions for ascent and is instead easily drawn into the path of darkness. This is precisely the dividing line between "having virtue and lacking virtue," a distinction that all human beings must understand!
The virtue that accumulates and is possessed.
Furthermore, regarding the existence of possessing and receiving the energy resources of all immortals, Buddhas, saints, deities, and Bodhisattvas, if viewed from the human realm or the divine realm: whether one can possess an inexhaustible supply of energy resources—that is, the luminous function of an energy body—depends on whether the QNA is endowed with abundant energy conditions!
For all living beings, it is possible to achieve greater growth and benefit. This is also the energy resource of the multitude of immortals and Buddhas, which can be realized, elevated, and accumulated through one's own inherent completeness. Regarding the conditions of virtuous merit itself, even the most fundamental "God of Virtuous Merit" must possess "virtuous merit" to be worthy of being called a "true god."
If one possesses fortune but lacks virtue, they are easily drawn into demonic realms, and from these realms into their own, forming a pitiable state of ignorance. Sentient beings fundamentally cannot comprehend how such a situation arises, often believing, "I could never fall into such a state." In truth, they frequently enter these realms without even realizing it.
Wisdom is the radiance of awakened consciousness.
It is the accumulated "radiance of awareness" from experience, which serves as a condition for growth and benefit through the eighth consciousness. It also incorporates past knowledge and one's own formative processes, as well as all personal actions and behaviors, to achieve and accumulate growth. This is the essential necessity for survival and dependence in the human world.
If one is knowledgeable, regardless of the realm or celestial space they inhabit, they possess the conditions to truly benefit. Moreover, whether such conditions, shaped by these causes and circumstances, lead to genuine and boundless benefits depends on the accumulation of knowledge and experience. This, in turn, enables one to achieve survival and benefit for oneself within the vast world.
It can also achieve benefits across different levels of celestial realms. How, then, does it disseminate the accumulated experiences of knowledge? Precisely because for those who have attained the status of sages, immortals, or buddhas, possessing sufficient energy and the accumulations from past existences, they make choices based on whether it brings benefit. This not only benefits themselves but also benefits all sentient beings!
Enhancing wisdom and awareness requires a sensitive Buddha-nature.
It is precisely through the accumulation of knowledge and experience, gained from personal practice, that one achieves the function of planting the seeds of awareness within oneself. This is the essential quality a person of awakening should possess. However, having abundant knowledge does not necessarily mean one can manifest the "radiance of awakened nature." Such awakened nature, in turn, benefits from a condition of remarkably sensitive Buddha-nature.
It is precisely by elevating all of one's growth and benefits that it becomes essential to clarify the process through which the "seed of awakening" radiates, thereby bringing "wisdom-awareness" to its ultimate peak. This is achieved through the application of all past knowledge, leading to the manifestation of the energy body of "luminous wisdom-awareness."
The conditions of affinity possessed by immortals and Buddhas are the mutual illumination of "the radiance of awakened nature and the light of wisdom." By descending and imparting the accumulated experiences of the past, they can achieve all elevating functions, manifesting the process of wisdom and experience. How, then, can one reveal the true suchness and manifest the Buddha-nature, thereby creating all practical affinities for the future?
Wisdom grows with the elevation of the eight consciousnesses.
Within the conditions manifested by wisdom, through the accumulation of all processes, one can engage in the path of accomplishment for both the human realm and all celestial realms, thereby benefiting oneself. Moreover, as wisdom grows through the accumulation of experience and matures into a clear and thorough understanding, it becomes possible to achieve "not repeating the same mistake," enabling continuous upward growth and elevation.
Thus, it is essential to have a previously established growth experience of concepts, which fulfills itself by hiding within the deepest recesses of the "eighth consciousness." This is achieved through the "ninth consciousness"—the true suchness of the Buddha realm—entering into the first mystery of the Buddha-nature world! All accomplishments in the heavenly realms and the myriad worlds are fulfilled and benefited thereby.
In truth, it is precisely because there exists a virtue accumulated from blessings that brings about accomplishment, and through the wise, one can clearly comprehend how all past processes have unfolded, that the functional conditions of "wisdom-awareness" can be manifested. This requires first possessing "wisdom" in order to create "blessings" for evolution. This is what is fully present in the moment.
Before one can create blessings, it is necessary first to possess the radiant energy of virtue, for only then can blessings be fully attained and not vanish without a trace in an instant. Sentient beings in the human world strive to achieve the fullness of blessings. As the ancients said: One must be endowed with sufficient blessings to enjoy the rewards of goodness.
Virtue and wisdom mutually fulfill all living beings.
Few among humanity possess the radiance of virtue in its fullness. They must inevitably undergo many trials and tribulations. Often, they believe themselves to be profoundly wise and richly endowed with virtue, yet in truth, they possess none at all. Instead, they merely pursue the attainment of blessings, which are but fleeting rewards that offer only temporary fulfillment.
On the contrary, if one fundamentally lacks the capacity for long-term cultivation of "virtuous character," but instead merely accumulates blessings, then it can certainly contribute to the accumulation of wisdom and establish genuine interconnectedness. In accordance with the requirements of the Chongxin lineage, one must first attain the elevation of wisdom before creating the radiance of virtue. Only then can one be endowed with abundant blessings.
To understand what conditions are required, one must first grasp what functions they serve! The accumulation of currency is a condition for future achievements, while the inherent energy one possesses fuels growth. It is a step-by-step, footprint-by-footprint journey toward fulfillment and elevation. So I ask everyone: How much do you truly possess within yourselves? Deep down, you know the answer! Ha ha!
Promotion and expansion rely on unity,  
With one heart and combined strength, we join together.
The world grows and thrives,  
Returning is a destiny bestowed by heaven.
Seeking boundless great resources above, wisdom and virtue manifest together in abundance.
The fruits amassed through abundant and diligent efforts  
Shall forge a destiny of heavenly virtue in the future.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and fellow spirits for mutual encouragement; it elucidates the cultivation of both blessings and wisdom, allowing one to clearly recognize how much one has attained and how abundant the accumulated merits are. In other words, growth must be achieved step by step, leaving a solid imprint with each stride.

## The Joyful Jade Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Jasper Pool
The void and causality are vastly different,
The voice of Guanyin responds to suffering.
When the Bodhisattva ascends the platform, compassion manifests; wisdom and virtue share in the same great merit.
Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Celestial Venerable of Soaring Phoenix from the Void has descended through our lineage to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This chapter further elucidates the fulfillment of both merit and wisdom, offering a broader perspective on their functions. May it bring clarity to all, helping you understand how much merit you have accumulated in this human world.
Moreover, if one merely pursues the conditions for material wealth, it indicates a lack of personal blessings and insufficient radiance in virtue. Can one then truly attain the conditions for material wealth? Certainly not! Although this lineage repeatedly emphasizes that all noble disciples should strive to fulfill the conditions for material wealth, let us first ask ourselves: How much blessing and virtue do we possess? How abundant are they?
Through the interdependent causes and conditions that mutually support one another, we benefit and grow. From this, can we understand what all students of this lineage possess and what they lack? Haha! Haha! What one understands for oneself is precisely what one must strive to attain through one's own efforts!

序言、讚曰、頌賀
##Void Principle Virtue Guanyin Bodhisattva
Void and substance, such is human life; emptiness and change, such is the cycle of rebirth.
The Living Buddha Jigong descends,  
To enlighten all beings is his purpose.
One must aspire to seek boundless wisdom for elevation.
Seeking boundless wisdom and virtue from above to observe, bestowing upon all sentient beings the conditions for achieving karma, there exists such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity. This is precisely the descent of divine grace from the heavens, evaluating all members of the Chongxin lineage. It is essential for immortals and buddhas to take the lead, and to educate all students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage.
From the current perspective, it is essential to have a human leader who oversees all matters and guides the conditions determining success or failure. For the conditions established by Chongxin, there are: the Void Heaven Realm, the Wuji Heaven Realm, the Haotian Heaven Realm, as well as all celestial immortals, Buddhas, saints, deities, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings, working together with one heart to achieve fulfillment.
It is under the protection and care of the divine that guidance descends from above. For the growth of all emerging spiritual lineages, the necessary conditions are fulfilled through seeking from above. Thus, it becomes clear how to seek from above. The sacred mission of the Chongxin lineage is precisely the educational curriculum bestowed by Heaven upon the "Sacred Teaching of Confucianism," serving as the true driving force for elevating the entire world.
To guide all sentient beings toward enlightenment.
How can one allow oneself to be guided by the teachings of the immortals and buddhas, thereby accumulating abundant spiritual resources, while also dissolving the karmic obstacles and entanglements from past lives? This is precisely the process through which all the immortals and buddhas of the Chongxin lineage educate their disciples, fostering growth and learning experiences that benefit both oneself and all sentient beings.
Otherwise, how could growth and learning be accomplished in this present lifetime? Indeed not! It is precisely due to the conditions and affinities endowed in this cosmic cycle that such heavenly opportunities and favorable connections are initiated by the Patriarch of the Principle Pen. Without the affinities brought forth by the Patriarch of the Principle Pen, how could all the heavenly texts of the "Hall of Revered Heart, Decreed by the Empress of Heaven" be fully realized?
This is precisely a moment when the heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions are fully present, and even more so, it is an accumulation of abundant resources and sustenance from the Heavenly Realm. I ask all virtuous students: without the Master of the Principle Pen, how could we have first-hand materials to improve and elevate ourselves through contemplation and refinement? It would be extremely difficult! Without the fulfillment of such causes and conditions in the first place, how could one elevate oneself and grow?
Seek self-improvement above, and guide all beings below.
Through the collective deliberation of all celestial immortals and Buddhas, the great virtues and blessings of the five religious founders were jointly manifested as a revelation. This was established for the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall, making it clear that among all sacred writings, it is intended to enlighten all sentient beings in the world. Within all religions, there has been no such exposition of writings to disseminate teachings downward.
To fulfill the celestial predestined affinity in the 21st century, without distinguishing any religious sects or lineages, and to elevate the understanding of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" — this is a blessed opportunity bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, a rare chance that arises only in this cosmic cycle. Everyone should recognize that such conditions of predestined affinity are truly extraordinary. Can you comprehend this?
All issues can be resolved through transformation, yet regarding such causal conditions, it is said that humanity and all living beings will encounter numerous obstacles and challenges. From the perspective of the human world, these problems persist, and if they remain unresolved, they will give rise to many reasons for failure.
Sentient beings undergo mutual cycles of rebirth within the human realm precisely due to obstacles formed by such causes. This is akin to executing a project based on predetermined benchmarks—inexpressible and unattainable, for the root cause lies herein. It is also because human beings are hindered by too many causes that obstruct their upward pursuit of greater realms of growth.
The cultivation and growth of sentient beings' habits and dispositions.
One may say there are a hundred or a thousand reasons, but the primary cause must confront all issues. If one insists there are a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand reasons why something cannot be achieved, then from the perspective of the immortals and buddhas, it is no different from the way humans think—there will always be reasons that cannot be transformed or resolved. This is precisely the case!
That is to say: if there are a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand reasons and causes, it would be all too simple! However, while everyone can speak of them, can they truly ascertain whether these causes exist? And how should one approach the objectives of the project? Regarding the formulation of such contracts, has there been a breach of trust? Are they insufficient? It is also difficult to muster the willpower to achieve them!
Can everyone possess all that is needed to achieve success in this lifetime? No! Precisely due to such unfavorable conditions and reasons, it can be said: even if there are a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand causes of difficulty, so too—when viewed from the perspective of Heaven—there will inevitably exist a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand reasons why it cannot be bestowed upon everyone!
Beings act differently to bring about change.
Under such circumstances, it is only natural that humans, who cannot escape the need for sustenance, are unable to overcome any difficulties. If one merely hopes to fulfill the sacred decrees of the heavenly deities and Buddhas but fails to achieve them, how can the reasons be explained? It is because all beings must live, and living necessarily requires sufficient currency to sustain life.
How can one accumulate sufficient wealth within one's own fortune? Everyone believes that their own efforts will lead to responsibility and sacrifice in the name of religion. Ask yourself: if it were so easy to gather the conditions for wealth, would true sacrifice and dedication truly be necessary? And how could one demand that immortals and buddhas grant such blessings? Surely not!
Furthermore, in the process of elevating one's spiritual levels and realms, if one merely speaks of the reasons for failing to achieve them, then in the human world, it only becomes the seed cause for another cycle of reincarnation in the next life. From the perspective of all religious traditions between heaven and earth, this condition is universally true! This is precisely because there are teachers capable of producing top scholars, yet there are no students who strive to become such scholars through learning.
One may then believe they have contributed and sacrificed greatly for the religion upheld by it. Yet how much have we truly accomplished in terms of learning, growth, and transformation as taught by the immortal Buddhas and teachers? This can be observed: whether there is one reason, a hundred reasons, a thousand reasons, or ten thousand reasons—such conditions are merely the seeds of causes for rebirth in the next cycle of reincarnation.
The primary condition for guiding and transforming sentient beings
There are far too many reasons and causes that prevent their fulfillment; in contrast, when we look at the celestial realm today, all the carefree and unrestrained immortals, Buddhas, saints, deities, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings were once in the same position. They steadfastly fulfilled all the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven, and for the current era, this very cosmic cycle of time and space, it is merely the beginning of a new opportunity!
Regarding this engineering mission, since the opportune moment of heavenly design and favorable affinity has already been marked, it is imperative to accomplish it within this sacred destiny ordained by heaven. If it cannot be completed, how can we face the expectations of the Heavens? Upon careful observation, it becomes evident that the resources and sustenance bestowed by all the immortals and buddhas upon the Chongxin lineage are indeed boundless and abundant, fully sufficient for its needs.
In the face of all shortcomings and deficiencies, through mutual encouragement among peers, everyone can unite in heart to pursue growth and learning. As for all the sacred duties and missions of the Chongxin Sect, when viewed in the present moment, they serve as a foundation for growth and the propagation of its teachings. It is hoped that everyone will grow and learn together—this is the right path!
Otherwise, in the human world: the manifestations of habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature, if pointed out by immortals and Buddhas, still prove difficult to dispel the hardships of sentient beings. This is because too many flaws and deficiencies have accumulated, making them hard to rectify and transform. It is precisely this that causes everyone to repeatedly cycle between the human realm and the underworld.
Heaven bestows a blessed union to spread far and wide,  
Seeking wisdom and virtue, prosperity flows with the tide.
Transforming all beings to attain fulfillment,  
Refining habits and dispositions toward goodness.
The reason it cannot be achieved lies in the millions of difficulties that are hard to change.
The faults of others are easily seen, while one's own shortcomings remain obscure.
This verse is shared with all as a mutual encouragement: for the Chongxin lineage, there must be no reason or cause that hinders its promotion! Regardless of whether others may have one hundred, one thousand, or ten thousand reasons to justify their growth and conditions, apart from these conditions, it is certain that future beings will lose many opportunities for the enhancement of their blessings. It is hoped that everyone will wholeheartedly unite in strength to propagate and transcend!
## Wuji Yaochi Fengqiong Fairy Maiden
The Limitless issues decrees to the mortal realm; the bonds of the Jade Pool are ever more true.
The Lingbao ascends the platform to gather virtuous disciples,  
Immortal youths join in encouragement to guide them toward fulfillment.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Living Buddha Jigong from the Void of our lineage has descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This chapter focuses on the growth and learning derived from seeking "blessings and wisdom" above and "transforming sentient beings" below, allowing everyone to deeply reflect. It reveals that each of us still has far too many shortcomings.
This is precisely the seed cause for the next cycle of reincarnation. Do not assume that entering Chongxin allows one to rest easy without worries. It is truly difficult for everyone to genuinely elevate themselves, and there will be distinctions between achievement and non-achievement—all within one's own grasp. Do not let one reason, a hundred reasons, a thousand reasons, or ten thousand reasons become obstacles to your attainment.
Otherwise, if one merely operates the project marked by Heaven through cycles of reincarnation in the human realm, obstacles will arise—be it for one reason, a hundred reasons, a thousand reasons, or ten thousand reasons—making it difficult to meet the conditions for success. This is an absolute truth. Can you comprehend it?
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
Vast emptiness and karma, truly profound,  
Bestowing blessings and affinities upon sentient beings.
The Enlightened King ascends the platform to inscribe the celestial scriptures,  
All may be saved, delivering sentient beings in perpetuity.
All sentient beings can be saved.
Seeking boundless blessings and wisdom from above, and transforming all sentient beings below, there exists a divine grace and compassion from Heaven. It does not discriminate among any sentient beings or original spirits, nor does it differentiate among any nations or peoples. This grace extends to the entire world, bestowed by Heaven through the compassion and universal love of the immortals and Buddhas.
How does talent facilitate the positive guiding function and effect within the vast universe? It can be understood that in the sentient world, the blessings of virtue and their downward influence do not discriminate among all living beings and the original spirits of all nations. They all operate with the same impartiality and equality. Through growth and elevation in the human world, there is upward progress, enhancement, and transcendence.
It is precisely by not distinguishing between one and another, nor differentiating among Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, the Heavenly Way, and all emerging religious traditions, that the grace of Heaven descends and transforms, operating with equal opportunity. This allows all beings in the vast world to seek boundless wisdom and virtuous blessings for their elevation, thereby benefiting themselves with goodness.
All are conditions for salvation.
How can one place oneself in a position to elevate and transcend? It is through the conditions that sentient beings themselves desire and choose—regardless of whether these lead to downfall or rebirth—that every sentient being is granted an equal opportunity to act, thereby determining the distinctions of future fortune or misfortune.
Regarding the mentality, actions, and wisdom of sentient beings, what is their state? It is also through the function of equal opportunity that the original spirits in the sentient world are granted the initial role of virtue’s nourishment. They can discern the distinction between "wanting or not wanting," which must be differentiated through their own choices, thereby seeking to elevate and transcend wisdom and blessed virtues.
There exists a condition for one's own cultivation, which is created precisely through the presence of a resolute will to achieve goals as the driving force, and the strength to persistently carry out actions. This condition offers an equal opportunity for all, yet it is not guaranteed that one will necessarily have the chance to apply it, even if it could lead to growth and elevation.
All can be successfully aided and delivered to their purpose.
In the human world, individuals often find themselves hindered by their own mentalities, perceptions, actions, and thoughts. They remain unaware of their own ignorance, instead believing that their deeds are aligned with predetermined goals and carried out under the guidance of immortals and Buddhas. But how does this truly serve the vast multitude of sentient beings across the universe?
It is precisely the opportunity to have a celestial and auspicious affinity with oneself, but not necessarily one that can be fully realized. Otherwise, attaining immortality, Buddhahood, enlightenment, or divinity would be quite easy. These conditions may seem simple, yet they are often unattainable. Such affinities are all equal in nature, but the resulting fruition and efficacy are greatly diminished.
Non-Discrimination: The religions of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam—all were conditions and causes of transformation bestowed by the Heavenly Realm in ancient times, each capable of guiding a particular group toward salvation. Yet why, in the present era, are there so few who can be guided back to salvation? It is precisely because, within the causes and precepts bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, distinctions have been made regarding their different functions.
It is difficult to fully comprehend religious beliefs—how did immortals and Buddhas cultivate themselves in the past? Moreover, when applying religious practices to the conditions and customs of the modern era, they often conflict with the original precepts of cultivation. It is precisely due to these circumstances that we may wonder why so many deficiencies exist in our present age.
Ji Hua grows and ascends.
How, then, can one truly attain the driving force for elevation? Thus, it becomes clear: regarding the religious teachings of all five faiths, the genuine opportunities for achievement that have emerged up to this day have long been cultivated through the practice of precepts, spanning over two thousand years of disciplined effort. Yet, even so, much has been altered and diluted over time—what can be done? It is truly a matter of profound helplessness!
Without discriminating among the conditions for spiritual cultivation in any religion, one passes through the human world to reach one's own conditions and precepts for cultivation. Yet, by adhering to the conditions and opportunities established by religions, one has already deviated from the cultivation conditions and precepts set forth by the sages of the five ancient teachings. How, then, can such an approach have any effect on one's own cultivation? It is exceedingly difficult!
Can there be genuine elevation? No! This is merely a practice discipline that has long undergone significant deterioration; having evolved over more than two thousand years, it serves as a standard for spiritual discipline in the human world. Those who can truly achieve success under such conditions are exceedingly rare—this is not alarmist talk but an undeniable truth!
All beings can be saved and elevated.
Furthermore, regarding the true nature of the transformative actions, it is within the process of salvation and accomplishment that one can come to understand how the transformative actions guide the process of deliverance. It is precisely because of the growth and function under such conditions that one's future path can be smooth and unobstructed. Moreover, one will not encounter many bottlenecks, nor will one be bound by self-imposed constraints.
Moreover, through the process of salvation and guidance, one can truly benefit. To understand how to elevate oneself with efficacy and effect, it is essential to comprehend what salvation entails. Otherwise, even with the abundant resources bestowed by Heaven, if sentient beings and primordial spirits persist in their self-willed ways, how can they adhere to Heaven’s precepts and the conditions for spiritual cultivation?
Can one truly experience growth and benefit? Not at all! This is precisely because the establishment of precepts must be understood in terms of their primary function! Moreover, regarding the elevation of realms and levels, when viewed from the perspective of sentient beings and original spirits in the human world, there are far too many reasons and causes that prevent their attainment, which also obstruct all opportunities for virtuous growth.
Benefits of Growth in Salvation Efficacy
Thus, it is merely a cycle of impermanence and distress. In the present moment, human beings may readily agree, yet as time passes and circumstances shift, encountering various bottlenecks and difficulties often leads to retreat. It is these external factors—the unpredictability of commitment and breach—that precisely constitute the challenge of "breaking trust."
Humanity is plagued by too many uncertainties that trouble sentient beings. How can one strengthen their resolve to achieve goals in engineering endeavors? These objectives are set by heaven, yet no tangible contract is established. This is the difference between "a promise as weighty as nine tripods" and "making empty promises"!
It is certain to be understood, what the future achievements and benefits will be! Taking the sentient beings and primordial souls of the vast mortal world as an example, even under such conditions of guidance, there are equal opportunities and actions. Thus, what can be grasped lies precisely in one's own hands, and will never be held in the hands of immortals, Buddhas, or any religion.
All are excellent conditions for salvation.
Sentient beings, in their original spiritual state, are subject to the fluctuating influences of impermanent mindsets, as well as the optional nature of thoughts and actions. Those who can achieve success through unwavering determination must possess the conditions and reasons to persevere, without distinguishing between those who are destined by fate and those who are not. Furthermore, they do not differentiate among human beings based on poverty or wealth, lowliness or nobility.
Moreover, among those blessed with wealth, honor, and good fortune, few indeed are able to truly enter the realm of spiritual cultivation. Likewise, among those in poverty and lowly circumstances, few indeed can transcend their condition to enter the genuine state of practice. Yet, from the perspective of ordinary beings, it is simply a matter of having equal opportunity to grasp one's own efforts or to enter the true path of practice.
Will one's efforts necessarily yield proportional results in the future? Not necessarily! If one has put in the effort but struggles to achieve proportional gains, it is likely due to incorrect methods. Moreover, it becomes difficult to transcend precepts and achieve elevation in practice. This is truly a rather helpless situation!
In the brief span of a lifetime, many indeed depart with regret into the netherworld; sentient beings, having sacrificed under such conditions, are caught in the cycle of rebirth—how sorrowful! How sorrowful!
Conditions for ascension are set at the outset,  
Achievement of karma is rooted in selflessness.
Seeking blessings and wisdom from above, returning to ride upon the great enlightened wisdom.
All sentient beings are equal in cause and condition—  
How then to grasp the truth bestowed by heaven?
Salvation and guidance depend on oneself;  
Achieving perfection returns one to the heavenly ascent.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; it is about breaking through obstacles within one's own ignorance, and when all obstacles arise, allowing oneself to benefit and gain from them, which is also an achievement in reverse. Today, just before the eighth anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect (Hall), we bestow upon everyone some blessings and karmic affinities.
##The Primordial Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
From the Limitless Jasper Pool descending upon the mundane world,  
The Treasure-Guarding Immortal Youth reverently bestows divine protection upon the heart.
May all be blessed in the eighth year of celebration,
May disasters be dispelled and all things be renewed.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Void Blessed Virtue Bright King of our lineage has descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This sacred teaching, which can universally aid in salvation, is elucidated with utmost sincerity, allowing everyone to comprehend it clearly and recognize their own shortcomings and deficiencies!
Otherwise, all sentient beings in the world of emotions would find it difficult to achieve transcendence and ascension, remaining trapped in the cycle of rebirth within the six realms. Moreover, the equal opportunities bestowed by Heaven often fail to truly benefit sentient beings. Instead, when the precepts of cultivation are difficult to uphold, one cannot attain the growth and elevation that come from learning and transcendence.
This is not a lack of compassion from Heaven, but rather a path chosen by sentient beings themselves—one on which true attainment is exceedingly rare. It is hoped that we may clearly recognize where our shortcomings lie. In truth, by simply adjusting our mindset, methods, and responses, we can accumulate wisdom, experience, and elevate ourselves through growth.
##Ancient Buddha, Nanping Daoji
On the Mid-Autumn Festival of Jiashen,  
The Holy Mother of the Void Heaven is arranged.
The Seventeenth Chapter of the Dao Reveres the Heart: Transcending and Ascending, All Beings Are Sustained
All sentient beings can be aided and elevated.
All can be saved and transformed: this means dispelling the delusions and obstacles of sentient beings. Through all actions in the human world, the transformation of thoughts and concepts can be achieved, allowing oneself to enter religion for elevation and transcendence. Moreover, for the ignorance and obstacles encountered in the human world, all karmic debts and causal retributions can be repaid.
Moreover, it is through all causes and conditions that one is elevated, facilitating a smooth path for one's own cultivation. Thus, it becomes clear that the most important matter is to elevate and transcend one's own thoughts and concepts. This elevation is achieved through the accumulation of "wisdom and experience," leading to personal benefit and ultimately yielding great rewards.
Even when contemplating and acting upon such thoughts, one must also face the repayment and enjoyment of all "karmic retributions" from past lives in the human world. It is essential to manifest these conditions through the Great Dao, which is currently elevating and transcending sentient beings and their original spirits. Can one understand whether many bottlenecks and obstacles will be encountered? Not necessarily!
Transcending the Conditions of Growth
It is essential to be able to reflect within one's own thoughts and perceptions—that is, to bear the consequences of one's own actions. Furthermore, through the process of dissolving the obstacles of ignorance within oneself, under such conditions, one can come to understand where one's own shortcomings lie. Precisely this is what sentient beings and original spirit beings lack: the driving force for such cultivation and transformation.
All are trapped in a mindset of muddling through and getting by however possible. As sentient beings and primordial spirits frequently encounter such bottlenecks and obstacles, they cannot achieve any form of transcendence or elevation. Moreover, they fail to realize that life in this world is merely about navigating the karma of currency and surviving as an entity bound by the conditions of livelihood.
Sentient beings are the product of the combined necessity of the "food chain and the chain of affairs," which must work together to enable the pursuit of comfort and sustenance in life. If warmth, nourishment, and comfortable survival are lacking, the enhancement and enrichment of life will diminish. From the perspective of sentient beings, this is both profoundly correct and indispensable.
These sentient beings, in their pursuit of comfort and sustenance, often fall short in their spiritual cultivation. Moreover, they adopt a mindset of muddling through, content to drift along as circumstances allow. Yet, within the very fabric of time and prevailing attitudes, there lies an opportunity to transcend this state. Through the conditions that enable salvation, they may rise and grow.
Conditions and Benefits of Ascension
How can one enhance the conditions for self-improvement and facilitate the elimination of one's own ignorance? Furthermore, how can one analyze and overcome personal obstacles? In this context, what actions should be taken regarding one's own thoughts and perspectives? These very factors shape one's future: the paths taken, the actions performed, the deeds accomplished, and the achievements attained—what, then, will be their efficacy? Yet, the majority of humanity lacks such awareness altogether!
It is said that the Dadao offers equal opportunity to all living beings across the great cosmos. While many sentient beings engage in cultivation, few truly attain accomplishment. This is often excused with a multitude of reasons—a hundred reasons, a thousand reasons, even ten thousand reasons—each sounding ever more lofty and self-justified.
Moreover, from the perspective of the human world, such reasons and causes are absolutely true and undeniable. Otherwise, if one were to practice cultivation only to burden oneself with the economic pressures of sustaining life, then for sentient beings, there would even be a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand reasons and causes. Precisely because there are far too many reasons and causes!
Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the elevation of obstacles, which arise under such circumstances. One must first gain clarity in managing one’s own life and ensuring comfort and sustenance before engaging in other endeavors. It is also essential to foster growth and elevation in one’s own heart, spirituality, nature, and inherent self, progressing upward to transcendence.
Essential Conditions for Advancement and Growth
For the myriad living beings across the vast world: if one merely seeks a comfortable and well-fed life, yet allows oneself to fall into the harm of spiritual nature, inherent nature, and true nature, this is indeed an act of great cruelty toward oneself. Yet, for sentient beings, such a situation may not be felt as anything improper.
However, from the perspective of the elevated and transcendent beings—the sages, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and exalted deities—this is truly a sorrowful situation. Moreover, the heavens have clearly established the conditions for "universal salvation and the fulfillment of the cosmic cycle." To this day, many have indeed attained universal salvation, yet those who have achieved the fulfillment of the cycle are exceedingly rare. As for those who can return to transcendence themselves, it is even more difficult.
Undoubtedly, this is nothing but an empty hope, let alone achieving perfection. Only by truly transcending and elevating can one genuinely progress. Moreover, for sentient beings, since the founding of the five religions by the sages in ancient times, over two thousand years have passed to this day. All the precepts for cultivation, as well as the causes and conditions for genuine practice and attainment, have long been obliterated!
If we examine all religions today, aside from Taiwanese Buddhism which still preserves some of the essence, it is difficult for other religions to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. This leads one to reflect in the realm of the eighth consciousness: how should one transform oneself to attain realization! It is essential to elevate and transcend one's own modes of thinking and concepts, and to do so with utmost sincerity and authenticity.
Eight consciousnesses, seed causes, elevated and transcended.
Transcendence—it is not an empty concept. Moreover, it cannot be clearly observed with the naked eye. Can sentient beings truly discern whether their thoughts and perspectives have been elevated? Whether they have achieved transcendence? This is not something that can be understood at a glance through mere appearances. Observing the external form of sentient beings also reflects the function of one's own image.
For those who have truly "realized the mind and perceived the nature, attained enlightenment and verified the fruit," their outward appearance, when observed, increasingly becomes more youthful and exudes a richer presence. It can be clearly understood that the insights gained from their own "realization of the mind and perception of the nature, attainment of enlightenment and verification of the fruit" involve immersing oneself in the elevation of wisdom. Moreover, how does this contribute to the accumulation of one's own wisdom?
Through a single matter, one can gain clear insight, yet because sentient beings and primordial spirits are unable to comprehend fully, there arises another level of elevation in their understanding of their own "spiritual nature." How, then, can one grasp the entirety of a matter or understand its origins and development through a single issue? Observing the entire process of cause and effect—how it unfolds—is exceedingly difficult to comprehend!
This is related to the conditions for enlightenment, which also involve a clear understanding of the origins of all matters, allowing one to comprehend everything thoroughly up to the present. If genuine practice yields results, these should be the fruits of "realization." However, sentient beings often find this difficult to grasp, frequently merely sustaining themselves through daily life.
Ascending Transcendence and Transcendent Ascension
It is by allowing oneself to undergo the acceptance of past karmic debts that one can achieve repayment. All sentient beings across the vast world are granted an equal opportunity and condition. However, among the many who cultivate, few attain accomplishment! This is precisely because they cannot see through the delusions that lie between cultivation and livelihood.
If one prevents oneself from truly attaining the fruits of wisdom and accumulated experience, how can one benefit at the moment of realization! For all sentient beings and original spirits, there exists an obstacle to ascension and transcendence. If it is difficult to dissolve, it is essential to immerse oneself in the accumulation of experience, thereby applying the true source of wisdom.
Only by truly benefiting oneself can one accumulate such causal conditions, enabling actions in the future that benefit both self and others. Through reverence of the heart, these causal connections are bestowed upon all virtuous beings. It is precisely through the accumulation of experiential wisdom that one reaps the rewards. If one struggles to achieve ascension and transcendence, it merely becomes the seed cause for the next cycle of rebirth!
In the realm of religious faith and practice, it is crucial to remember: do not enter a treasure mountain without recognizing its riches! If one fails to do so, all devotion and cultivation become merely a nominal pursuit—like being a student in name only—and one should feel ashamed of oneself. Conversely, many religious devotees strive their entire lives yet still cannot break through this barrier. What, then, can be done?
The Mid-Autumn Festival brings boundless joy,  
Eight years of Chongxin, a unique journey to employ.
Across the four seas, all praise and acclaim—  
The Dadao series spreads its glory and fame.
The sublime principle of karmic affinity,  
From heaven above, descending to aid sentient beings.
Ascend and transcend to return,  
Fulfill and surpass in this assembly.
This verse! For all sentient beings, original spirits, and the virtuous students of our lineage, let us mutually encourage one another. Through genuine trials and experiences in the human world, one can gain endless benefits. Can we understand that sentient beings should strive for their own achievements and elevate themselves through cycles of rebirth, rather than allowing obstacles and hindrances to impede their growth and cause them to sink into degradation.
##Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta of the Limitless
Effort must be applied to the cause of the Wuji;  
All beings share the treasures of the Yaochi.
Joyous Qiong descends to the Chongxin Hall,  
The celestial maiden shelters all beings with compassion.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Holy Immortal Maiden of the Void, the Heavenly Holy Mother from our ancestral lineage, has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This chapter provides a detailed and truthful account of the causes and conditions for transcending and elevating, offering mutual encouragement to all sentient beings.
Today marks the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Renjian Year of Jiashen: all is auspicious and complete. Being able to participate in the writing of the Celestial Book, receiving recognition and praise from Heaven, serves as a fulfillment of "faithfulness" toward oneself, toward Heaven, and toward the immortals and Buddhas. I appreciate everyone’s hard work and companionship in this endeavor.
##Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
Compassionate and vast as the void,  
Guanyin hears the cries of suffering.
The Bodhisattva descends upon Chongxin Hall,  
Perfecting the return to self-achievement.
Returning to the Fundamental Role of Perfection
To ascend and transcend is to achieve an elevation, precisely by harnessing the holistic efficacy, which highlights the significance of the subject. In the educational curriculum for all religions, particularly when viewed through the lens of Buddhism and Yiguandao: it is precisely in the current era that guiding through educational and cultural courses can yield the profound efficacy of rare and auspicious affinities.
It is clear that in order to foster growth and elevation for all future students, the efficacy of teaching is integrated into one's own religious system. Moreover, regarding the elevation of both mind and spirituality, there are profound and wondrous truths to be expounded. Through a mere external observation, it becomes evident that these are truly religious practitioners who have cultivated themselves.
This educational and cultural curriculum for all religions provides numerous conditions and opportunities for cultivation and transformation in the context of human survival and livelihood. Speaking in terms of the present era, Buddhism and Yiguandao are two traditions that have achieved relatively genuine and commendable results. This can be clearly observed from their outward manifestations, which reflect the dignified appearance of true practitioners.
The mind, thoughts, and consciousness are perfectly restored.
It is about purifying and transcending one's own mind and spirituality, which must achieve a complete and beneficial effect to yield genuine efficacy. Through religious purification, when observing sentient beings: regardless of which religion, the process is the same. This is precisely due to the ingrained habits of sentient beings, combined with the attachment formed through their life orientations.
There will be many shortcomings and deficiencies, so how can one achieve such a state of perfection? I am afraid it is not particularly easy! Moreover, in terms of cultivation and transformation, as well as striving to achieve perfection oneself, within the Buddhist teachings, it is precisely through this that one can more deeply understand the inclinations of the human mind and firmly root the principles of Buddhism.
By discarding all past impure thoughts within the mind and consciousness, one can clearly comprehend the principles of Buddhism. From the perspective of sentient beings, this constitutes a commendable primary causal condition. It is precisely through the establishment and growth of such causal concepts that Buddhism gradually surpasses and elevates itself above all other religious traditions.
The Buddhist doctrines are not merely aimed at enhancing the functions governed by "thoughts and consciousness." In truth, can one truly comprehend and assimilate the essence of Buddhism as a whole? At the same time, how does one address the karmic debts accumulated over countless lifetimes? It is not something that can be resolved merely by reciting sutras, mantras, or the Buddha's name, nor is achieving Buddhahood in a single lifetime a plausible reality!
The Enhancement of Perfect Growth
Is it truly possible to achieve a state of unwavering focus? It is exceedingly difficult! This essentially requires that in all human endeavors, from the beginning to the end of every task, one must achieve personal fulfillment, fulfillment for others, and harmony in the surroundings. This is a remarkably challenging level of efficacy to attain, and it is also a transcendence that necessarily calls for complete fulfillment.
In the practice of faith among human beings, humans have their own ways of thinking, beliefs, and actions, while immortals and Buddhas also possess their own distinct ways of thinking and conduct. This creates a divergence that often prevents mutual understanding. In comparing the actions of the human world with those of immortals and Buddhas, it is rare for them to align.
However, when considering the initial causes and future effects, they will reach a state of equal function. Yet, when viewed through the actions of immortals, buddhas, and human beings, how can they mutually harmonize and mutually fulfill each other? It is essential to clarify that all perspectives on a single matter can be vastly divergent, creating a situation where mutual understanding and cooperation are difficult to achieve.
From this, it can be understood that when dealing with any matter, if the human world and the perspectives of immortals and Buddhas can complement each other, the matter can be brought to a state of perfection. The perfection of human beings, the perfection of the actions of immortals and Buddhas, and the perfection of all karmic connections in heaven and earth—each of these will present a significant test of one's capacity.
Establishing the Concept of Perfect Return
How can the actions of the perfected one achieve true completion, and what is the right path? For "perfection" alone is still insufficient; it is only when one can attain "complete fulfillment" that it becomes the guiding principle for all thoughts and actions regarding any matter. The true efficacy of such complete fulfillment lies in how humanity, in its existence and faith, can return to transcendence!
Through the compilation in the third volume of the "Great Dao Series"—"The Return to the Great Dao"—authored by the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall," such conceptual approaches and methods have been established. Yet, how can one truly return? It is necessary first to achieve completeness, after which the harmonious approach of "full circle" can be attained. This further facilitates a harmonious integration with affairs, heaven and earth, all sentient beings of humanity, and the immortals and buddhas.
Only then can the true primary efficacy of return be achieved. In the "DNA" of the human world, how to elevate it into a higher-quality "RNA" means enabling all sentient beings to emit light from within themselves, thereby facilitating the function of the "QNA" energy body within each individual. This clarifies the primary function of return, which is not merely an elevation to "RNA" alone.
Moreover, it is essential to understand how to establish the conditions for the growth of high-quality "RNA" genes. Only when all their effects are fully and truthfully manifested can they facilitate the transformation of one's own energy into a luminous body, and further elevate and transcend the energy within oneself. This, in turn, must be achieved through all the experiential processes in the human world.
The Fundamental Movements of Returning
Regardless of the hardships and trials one may face, each serves as a crucial point for elevating RNA. By enhancing the self-energy radiance of RNA through one's own actions, one can attain the fundamental causes and conditions for superior elevation, thereby integrating the act of return into the very fabric of one's existence.
Sentient beings in the human realm stand precisely at the juncture where they may ascend and transcend, or descend and fall. This boundary is determined by whether, through their own unwavering resolve, they can genuinely create beneficial effects and auspicious opportunities for themselves. It further hinges on whether they can foster the conditions for such attainment, and on the extent to which their energy bodies are fully realized.
Furthermore, when considering one's energy within the realm of sentient beings, the process involves utilizing high-quality RNA genes for growth. This means enhancing the functional benefits of these superior RNA genes to a greater extent, thereby elevating all luminous frequencies of the energy body. This constitutes the fulfillment of the QNA energy body. How, then, can the QNA energy body be established?
The energy of Buddha-nature returning to the primordial ground.
It is essential to possess the functional efficacy of the "initial stage of Buddha-nature," and to systematically create and develop the concepts recognized by the "subtle initial consciousness." If one cannot even understand one's own "thoughts and consciousness," how can one achieve the verification of upward growth, ascension, and transcendence through the luminous body of one's own energy entity?
It is essential to understand why, within the sutras left by the Buddha Sakyamuni, the future world of Maitreya Buddha was prophesied and affirmed. This signifies that the cultivation practices to be undertaken in the future within Maitreya's Inner Court are being truthfully transmitted and actualized in the present—through the Yichong Xintang, where the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are authored with profound clarity.
It allows everyone to access firsthand materials and genuinely immerse themselves in the thought concepts of "consciousness-only," thereby fostering growth and learning. This is the manifestation of the great virtue and compassion of Heaven, as well as the collective deliberation and achievement of all celestial beings and Buddhas, aimed at elevating and transcending through the "21st Century Lotus Transformation Buddha Land Pure World."
The Pure Land of Maitreya Returns in Fullness
Furthermore, regarding my entry into the human world, I do not discriminate among any religious sects or traditions. The key is to be utterly truthful about the "mind-consciousness" that guides oneself, and to comprehend it through one's own learning and growth. If one cannot truly and clearly understand one's own "mind-consciousness," it becomes exceedingly difficult to achieve elevation.
Whether they are Buddhist practitioners, Yiguan Dao followers, or even adherents of other religions, it is difficult for them to attain true accomplishment, fulfillment, and return. This is because it is essential to first bring all the necessary genuine cultivation courses from the Maitreya Pure Land’s Inner Court to the human world through the compilation of the "Dadao Series" books, providing contemporary humanity with beneficial guidance for faith and practice.
If one can understand what constitutes true ascension and transcendence, what is expedient ascension and transcendence, and what is nominal ascension and transcendence, then everything can be made perfectly clear. Thus, it becomes evident that true and complete return through transcendence means that even one's own eighth consciousness cannot be comprehended. If one wishes to return, it is fundamentally impossible!
Moreover, how can one truly ascend, transcend, and return to perfection within the world of sentient beings? It is exceedingly difficult! Most practitioners of religious faiths only achieve the celestial realm of the "Middle Heaven." To reach a higher level of spiritual attainment is exceptionally challenging, with genuine efficacy being hard to attain. Do you understand? I offer this for everyone's reference.
Construct the mind and consciousness as they truly are;  
Ascend and transcend through wisdom.
Perfectly returning to rely on one's own essence,  
The energy emits light even more truthfully.
The Religion of the Sentient World — Anticipating the Arising of Maitreya's Pure Land
It is difficult to grasp the true method—  
How can one return to carefree wandering?
This verse! It is about sentient beings and original spirits mutually fulfilling one another; it precisely concerns whether one can truly, through QNA, radiate all the light of an energy body, spreading its brilliance to one’s surroundings. This is achieved and attained by oneself. Such an energy body is something that very few practitioners of religious faith in the human world truly comprehend!
##Limitless Manjushri Bodhisattva
Few tread the land of the Infinite Treasure,  
Even fewer are guided to the palace of the Jasper Pool.
Fengqiong descends to Chongxin Hall;  
Immortal maidens ascend the platform to compose the cause.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Void Principle and Virtue from our lineage, along with the Bodhisattva Guanyin, have descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Reverence of the Great Dao." This completion and return precisely bestow upon the human world the "subtle initial awareness" from the "First Ground of the Buddha Realm."
This pertains to the cultivation practices of the future, which have already been disseminated into the present world through the Dadao series of celestial texts—specifically, the inner cultivation courses of the Maitreya Pure Land. These are not comparable to ordinary celestial texts or virtuous books, as they enable one to truly understand the inner cultivation of one’s own "mind, thoughts, and consciousness," which is intimately connected to human existence.
If one fails to comprehend the essence and efficacy of the "Dadao Chongxin" writings, it will be a great loss to oneself. Through the celestial immortals and buddhas, various energies are bestowed upon the heavenly texts, simultaneously granting aura and magnetic fields for elevation. This also allows one's own energy body to increase significantly—a manifestation of the great compassion and virtuous grace of the immortals and buddhas.
In the reverence of the heart, all students attending the classes and those with good affinity are treated equally, receiving the same energy to be bestowed downward. This allows everyone to eliminate karmic obstacles and increase blessings and wisdom, all facilitated by the guidance of the immortal and buddha teachers. Why not embrace this opportunity! However, the extent to which each person comprehends and absorbs these teachings depends entirely on their own efforts, for only through diligent striving can one truly reap the rewards.
##Namo Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Humans and Celestials in the Void
Namo, all beings praise the Tathagata;  
The Lamp-Lighting Mind Dharma opens the Great Path.
The Ancient Buddha bestowed the Chongxin Volume;  
Abundant energy fills it as is fitting.
Energy Fullness Function and Benefits
If sentient beings are to return to transcendence, they must first possess an abundance of energy—it is through the sufficiency of one's own energy that one can ascend! For sentient beings or the energy bodies of celestial beings and buddhas, the primary cause and condition for achieving self-luminous radiance lies precisely in whether they possess this fullness of energy, which in turn enables their own energy to manifest vast efficacy.
Only then can one easily meet the demands of greater growth and achieve the effect of being filled with energy. Moreover, this energy body is fundamentally different from what is generally referred to among sentient beings! It is observed through the virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the conditions and causes possessed by sentient beings: it is precisely the energy body that encompasses all active forces.
Under what conditions can one fully comprehend the nature of the energy body itself? Among all the conditions bestowed by Heaven upon sentient beings, what kind of energy body is present? Moreover, the distinct functions of descending into degradation and ascending toward transcendence in existence are precisely differentiated by the energy body, which serves as the primary cause for survival.
The Necessity of Abundant Energy
Through this kind of condition, the energy body achieves a greater integration with one's own survival orientation. It allows one to understand under what conditions and with what efficacy this energy body operates. For the observation of all living beings throughout the vast universe, it is the conditions one possesses that determine ascent or descent.
All sentient beings, by understanding what kind of energy body they inhabit to facilitate their growth and learning in the human world, can surely come to know the state of their own energy! The demand placed upon one's energy body lies precisely in whether it is fully endowed or not. Regardless of how profound their cultivation may be, or how great their achievements, what does it ultimately amount to for sentient beings?
Within the assembly of qualities possessed by the energy body, through the awareness of one's own energy, what level of conditions does it entail? Many sentient beings remain confused, questioning whether their energy body is truly complete. As for the functions and conditions of the physical body's energy, they remain unable to comprehend them clearly!
Furthermore, it is impossible to thoroughly understand under what conditions one's own energy body exists, and thus one cannot clearly comprehend the entirety of one's own energy body! When it comes to benefiting from the energy body, the energy bodies of the sages, immortals, and Buddhas differ from those of sentient beings, and thus they are analyzed from different perspectives.
The energy body is brimming with the efficacy of energy.
This energy entity is the fundamental substance of what humans refer to as the "cellular body," and it is endowed with an electromagnetic wave energy of its own. This type of electromagnetic wave energy differs from what humans describe as "voltage." In terms of the inherent conditions of the energy entity itself, celestial beings and Buddhas possess their own distinct energy, while sentient beings have their own unique energy entities, which are also not the same.
The divine beings and immortal Buddhas in the human realm can be said to possess energy levels of at least over fifty thousand volts, or even millions of volts. In contrast, the energy levels of other sentient beings are only around two thousand volts. Moreover, this energy of approximately two thousand volts is measured differently from ordinary electrical energy.
This two thousand volts is sufficient for a sentient being, through the function emitted by its own energy body, to be comparable to other species of living beings. In terms of the "volts" possessed by the human spiritual energy body, it differs from those of other beings, which generally reach a maximum of only around three thousand volts.
Regarding the understanding of all matters in heaven and earth, and even more so towards all living beings, as well as the "volt" possessed by this type of energy entity itself, there exists a state of fullness or deficiency! This is measured by different energies in the achievements of deities, immortals, and buddhas in both the human realm and the formless realm, and it is not calculated by human methods.
Full and complete in function
Furthermore, the energy of the Supreme Heavens originates precisely from the celestial realm of the great cosmos. It is through this that humanity and the universe are interconnected with the energy of the great cosmos. It can be clearly understood that the human body is a microcosmic cycle, while the entire universe is a macrocosmic cycle. Thus, all are interlinked through mutual contact.
To attain such an energy body, one must not rely solely on meditation and stillness, as if that alone could transcend life and death—that is an age-old joke. If the energy emitted by the energy body itself is merely abundant in energy, it still lacks the purification and elevation of one’s soul. In other words, it falls short of the purification and transcendence achieved through the Mind-King and the Tathāgatagarbha.
To achieve a state of true purification, free from all defilements, may be difficult to attain for the multitude of sentient beings. As for the potential functions created and manifested by one's own energy body, and whether it is possible to transcend life and death through meditation or qigong practice alone—even with the support of the divine energy body—is such a possibility truly feasible?
May I ask, where do sentient beings stand in the entire process of karmic cycles and retribution? For ordinary practitioners, such doubts often arise precisely because they have yet to break free from the cycle of karmic retribution. It is essential to clarify the conditions and processes through which karmic retribution unfolds.
The Necessity of Energy Fullness
Abundance: It signifies the absence of any deficiency and the capacity for self-sufficiency, representing a state of perfect fulfillment in harmony with heaven, earth, and the cosmos. For sentient beings, if they fail to transcend the purification of the "spiritual seed causes" and believe that mere meditation or cultivation practices can eliminate the cycles of past karma, such an idea is nothing short of a fantasy!
Regarding the elevated beings such as saints, immortals, and buddhas, what are the requirements for their own energy bodies? Furthermore, the additional energy bestowed by the heavenly realm must be purified through the "eighth consciousness" of the human world. Only when the energy of human brainwaves is fully saturated can it truly be imparted: the Tathāgatagarbha—the mind king—serves as the creation and development of the true thusness and buddha-nature.
The myriad sentient beings remain unaware that if the human world clings solely to the practice of meditation as a cultivation method, it will never achieve the elimination and resolution of all karmic causes and effects. This is because meditation can align the body with the workings of heaven and earth, fostering mutual resonance, while also enhancing the body's inherent energy.
Retribution of karma is the invisible energy.
Regarding the cycle of cause and effect, it merely delays the time for sentient beings' original spirits to seek retribution. When one's energy is strong, the grievances and debts from past lives cannot draw near. However, no individual can maintain a perpetually full and abundant energy body throughout an entire lifetime. Thus, these grievances wait continuously for the opportune moment to seek repayment.
If one is even slightly careless or finds oneself in a period of decline and low fortune, the retribution for these karmic causes and effects will enter the body, taking hold and refusing to depart. Furthermore, it will allow yin energy to invade the body’s energy, causing damage. Under such circumstances, it is fundamentally difficult for sentient beings to comprehend, nor do they believe in the retributive function of all karmic consequences.
In particular, those who consider themselves highly capable, possess profound skills, wield powerful spiritual abilities, or have accumulated significant merits are even more prone to believe that such matters do not exist. They fail to realize that the cyclical retribution of karma across lifetimes is precisely aimed at disturbing sentient beings.
The primary functions of energy saturation
It is essential to understand how the process of karmic retribution unfolds. For these sentient deceased souls and their karmic creditors, the process of seeking retribution is arduous. If we shift perspectives, religious practitioners can clearly comprehend why karmic retribution occurs and how to resolve it in a complete and harmonious manner, within the context of these karmic debts accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Even within religion itself, it is difficult for immortals, buddhas, and those who hold sacred duties to fully comprehend all subjective causes and conditions. This is because differences in spiritual realms, levels, and education make such understanding hard to attain. Moreover, the vast universe, in its process of rectification, seeks to fulfill sentient beings, allowing them to resolve karmic retributions of cause and effect within a single lifetime.
For the celestial deities and Buddhas, for all living beings, as well as for the souls lost in the underworld, how can we achieve a more perfect state without deepening the cycle of karmic retribution from one lifetime to the next? It is precisely this that should be resolved with completeness. And how can we eliminate all karmic causes and effects? Only through the growth of goodness and the elevation beyond can we tread the true path!
The self can generate energy,  
Abundant conditions are infinitely favorable.
Returning to transcendence is one's own affair; achieving the heavenly virtue of benefiting all beings is the reward.
The self creates shade for all beings,  
The energy itself is infinitely profound.
What is it that relies on oneself for sustenance,  
And whose fulfillment returns to be verified by the cosmos?
This verse! Let us encourage one another along with all sentient beings; to achieve greater growth and learning for the sacred immortals and Buddhas of compassionate religions and for all living beings. Otherwise, given the differences in levels, realms, and educational cultures, how can one speak of all so-called: right and evil, right and wrong, correct and mistaken, or even yes and no? Indeed, it cannot be spoken of in such terms!
Indeed, there is only this: differences in realms, levels, education, and cultivation—such is the world of sentient beings! How, then, can one elevate one's own thoughts and perspectives, so as to benefit oneself endlessly? In truth, it all comes down to one's own "discernment and understanding" of value. Haha! Thank you all for your hard work, and until we meet again!
## The Supreme Earth Mother of the Infinite
The state of Wuji has already ascended high,  
Puxian descends in true authenticity.
Bodhisattvas gather at Chongxin Hall,  
The Great Way unfolds with Heaven's bestowed affirmation.
Good evening to all the holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the main authoring immortal Buddha of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao," the great patriarch of this lineage, the Ancient Buddha Nama Dipankara, has descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the fullness of energy, marking a step toward an even more enriched writing process for "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao."
We shall wait and see. The authentic works constructed based on "Da Dao Chong Xin" will bring endless benefits to humanity. For Chong Xin students, all their learning will reach another level of elevation, enabling them to understand how to achieve completeness within the transcendent energy body. Only in this way can genuine wisdom be elevated, allowing oneself to reap boundless and infinite benefits.
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void and Spiritual Aperture
Nanping's One Vehicle Ferry Widespread Transformation;  
Daoji's Perfection Ascends to Hang in the Heavens.
The Ancient Buddha descends to bestow the Chongxin Volume,  
Speaking of the self-illuminating energy of the inner being.
When energy is full, it naturally radiates light.
When energy is abundant and elevated, it is precisely the luminous QNA energy body that acts. For sentient beings, this is a condition difficult to attain. Moreover, because all energy bodies within RNA can assist in elevating the myriad beings of the sentient world, it must be accomplished through the DNA of the human world, shaped by the essence of genetic makeup.
It is clear that achieving self-illumination is not an easy task. It involves cultivating oneself through religious practice and refinement, thereby creating one's own energy body, which is capable of ascending, growing, and transcending. How can one attain such a virtuous and complete state? It must be achieved through one's own efforts—yet even then, success is not guaranteed.
It is precisely about bestowing endless virtue and blessings, while also enabling sentient beings to grow based on their own energetic conditions. Through these conditions, all functions are actualized, created via the energy body, and matured through the refinement and cultivation of religion. This is because the entire process of religious refinement makes it possible.
The Conditions of the Energy Body Itself
It is precisely through meditation and subsequent contemplation that one must realize the need to reflect on one's own "thoughts and consciousness," and to grow and learn in relation to the body. Sentient beings often mistake the phenomena observed during the "meditative" stillness as real, believing them to be absolutely true and correct ways of thinking.
Under such conditions, a genuine practitioner will often encounter numerous obstacles that are difficult to overcome in the future. This is because humans can be seen as a microcosm, while the entire universe is a macrocosm. By analogy, when observing sentient beings on Earth within the galactic system, it becomes clear that they are largely confined by the limitations of the Earth's galactic sphere.
Typically, it is merely the function of the spiritual body's reincarnation; it is necessary to undergo tempering through the influence of cultivation in the human world in order to elevate one's own energy body. As for the energy bodies of other species of sentient beings, the highest is only around two thousand volts. If viewed from the perspective of sentient human primordial spirits, it is precisely around three thousand volts!
Furthermore, the lowest level of spiritual deities requires at least over five thousand volts to merely attain the energy form of a deity, such as the God of Fortune and Virtue. For deities of slightly higher attainment in the mortal realm, it is necessary to exceed fifty thousand volts or more. As for those of even higher levels—such as saints, immortals, Buddhas, deities, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings—they may even require millions of volts.
The Energy of the Self
This energy body, if incapable of discerning what kind of energy body it itself is, will find it difficult to comprehend the extent of its own "self-illumination." Without fundamentally understanding the magnitude of its energy in volts, and without clearly perceiving how much energy its sentient primordial spirit possesses, it becomes essential to know truthfully what one's own energy is like—yet this is not always certain!
It can be further categorized into several to dozens of types, which can generally be divided into six to seven main categories: first, sentient beings of the material realm; second, spirits of the deceased; third, human beings; fourth, deities within the human world; fifth, deities of the intermediate realms; sixth, celestial beings of the upper realms; and seventh, those who have transcended the cycle of reincarnation and attained enlightenment. Each of these categories is further subdivided into distinct types based on their individual natures.
In terms of classification, there are three to five categories, or even more than ten. This condition results in dozens of distinctions for the energy bodies of beings at different levels, which must be clearly and meticulously differentiated. Furthermore, if one's own energy body from the past cannot harmonize with the energy and magnetic fields of the present era, different energies will inevitably arise to facilitate elevation.
From the perspective of the myriad sentient beings in the world of living beings, this is an impenetrable veil of ignorance. Such obstacles often hinder practitioners in the world of sentient beings, leading them to believe they possess great merits and mystical methods within the human realm. Yet, what becomes of these after death? This remains profoundly difficult to comprehend!
Full of energy, it radiates light from within.
To understand how to radiate light is to recognize the potential for greater growth within one's own energy body. When sentient beings seek to connect with heaven, earth, and the universe, it is essential to fully comprehend how to first cultivate one's own virtue as a means of manifestation. If one fails to develop and express this inherent virtue, what then will become of the attempt to commune with heaven, earth, and the cosmos?
Moreover, within the vast cosmos and between heaven and earth, there exist many harmful energies that permeate and fill one’s own body. This is precisely the moment when connecting with the spiritual essence of heaven, earth, and the universe occurs—a mutual alignment of frequencies to achieve union. It is through the cultivation of virtue that one becomes capable of harmonizing with the frequencies and energies of those who also possess virtue, thereby enabling a mutual connection.
When dealing with the wicked, one inevitably connects with the energies of misfortune and calamity. This is precisely why immortals and buddhas constantly strive to enhance their virtue! In the future, all celestial scriptures will reveal this divine mechanism of energy to everyone. However, the prerequisite is that one must first possess virtue to be fully qualified!
Otherwise, for those lacking virtue, the cosmic and earthly energies they attract will inevitably create opportunities for "demonic tribulations" in the future, and such chances will only increase! This point is of utmost importance. Moreover, for one's own energy body, growth and elevation in the present moment shape all survival orientations of humanity, leading to the distinction between good and evil.
The emission of luminous energy must be accompanied by virtue.
From the perspective of Chongxin students: each individual possesses an energy level between three thousand and five thousand. For those with even greater energy reserves, the range extends from twenty thousand to over fifty thousand. This clarifies how, within an energy body, the conditions for one's own radiance are determined. Moreover, it explains why so many in the vast universe embark on spiritual pilgrimages, seeking a future world that remains beyond comprehension.
These sentient beings are unable to comprehend their own future paths, so how can they illuminate their own energy bodies? It is exceedingly difficult! Instead, they remain mired in the gradual diminishment of their own energy, while the celestial immortals and Buddhas consistently discourage them from becoming spiritual mountain wanderers, thereby burying the precious opportunity of this human life.
It has always been required that everyone cultivate wisdom and enhance virtue through accumulation, thereby increasing blessings and abundance. This can also add to financial fortune and ensure ample resources, fulfilling all personal aspirations as desired. This is precisely the foremost demand that the revered teachers and celestial beings of the Chongxin lineage place upon all students at present.
The Function of Self-Generated Energy Illumination
Speaking from the lineage of our sect, the immortal Buddhas and teachers bestow upon all disciples a luminous energy body of their own. This allows one to clearly discern whether, in recent years, the entanglements of karmic obstacles and cause-and-effect have been diminishing year by year. Unless Heaven has explicitly designated a year for the retribution of karma, in which case one must inevitably bear the consequences oneself.
If we consider all the disciples within our lineage, we must ask ourselves honestly: in recent years, how many have truly transcended their karmic creditors from past lives and advanced in their spiritual studies? Very few! This is because the celestial beings and buddhas have shielded everyone, intercepting most grievances. Unless a creditor arrives with a legitimate decree to claim what is owed, we would all find it difficult to withstand such retribution.
Therefore, the radiance of the energy body that everyone possesses is subdued by the immortal and buddha teachers, much like "bending the grass," preventing everyone from being harmed by other factors when venturing outside. This is the compassionate grace bestowed by the immortal and buddha teachers to protect and shelter everyone. Can you understand this?
Subtle energy can emit light; wisdom tempered by practice grows strong.
Diligently cultivate the great path to return to heavenly ways,  
Roaming the universe as truly flourishing.
The energy emanating from the self  
Is held down by immortals and buddhas like bending grass.
Do not let him come to disturb,  
Protect everyone with such goodness.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits, as well as among all students of the Chongxin lineage. It emphasizes that the radiance of one's own energy body must be attained through growth and learning, and is also a manifestation of the compassionate grace of the immortal and buddha teachers, enabling everyone to reduce the entanglements and demands of karmic causes and debts. As your teacher, I have disturbed Chongxin once more, and now take my leave! Farewell!
## The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond of the Wuji
All attain the supreme state of enlightenment,  
The Great Power Arrives to elucidate sincerity and clarity.
Through the affinity of the Bodhisattva, the heart is exalted;  
Ascending the platform, together they meet all virtuous beings.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha—Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji—has descended to compose the twentieth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao," analyzing and elucidating the energy of self-illumination, allowing everyone to understand. Moreover, how does one's own energy body align with that of the immortal Buddhas?
Furthermore, regarding the enlightenment gained from one's own ignorance and how it operates within the cycle of cause and effect, one can achieve self-improvement and transcendence, thereby attaining a complete energy body. In light of the efforts made over the past few months, it remains essential for all to unite in promoting future endeavors. Efforts should focus on identifying and selecting a location for the cornerstone as soon as possible, followed by reporting to Heaven, to facilitate the expansion of propagation efforts.
Thank you for your hard work! Regarding the passing of Zeng Xiansheng's mother today, had it not been for the protection of the immortals and buddhas of our lineage at this moment, she would have long fallen into the underworld to face punishment. Now, she has been taken into the netherworld by the City God, awaiting future arrangements according to official decrees. This matter must be properly handled by Zeng Xiansheng. Otherwise, his mother will be entangled by underworld debts—this must be clearly understood!

The Twenty-First Chapter of the Great Dao Exalts the Heart: The Great Dao Attests Through the Distinction of Energies
The Functional Differentiation of One's Own Energy
Self-illumination is achieved through one's own essence, which precisely distinguishes sentient beings from the ascended and transcendent sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings. Further distinctions arise among different energy bodies, resulting in varying levels, realms, and disparities in energy. Sentient beings in the world of consciousness are unable to comprehend the nature of their own energy bodies, much less understand the energy bodies of immortals and Buddhas.
This type refers to the obscurity of ignorance that cannot be clearly discerned. Furthermore, when observing the vast cosmos, how much energy do all sages, immortals, and enlightened beings possess? They are also distinguished by the type of volt in their energy bodies. However, this "volt" is not what the human world refers to as electrical voltage; rather, it is precisely the "self-illuminating" energy body!
When sentient beings come to observe, it is possible to transcend, and to attain the energy of "self-illumination." It is necessary to surpass the energy bodies created by over fifty thousand volts in order to achieve the development of "self-energy." How then do ordinary sentient beings fare with their energy bodies? Very few are able to comprehend this!
Different Voltages of Various Forms of Energy
The energy of sentient beings is typically only around two to three thousand volts. Under such conditions, aspiring to reach over fifty thousand volts cannot be achieved solely through personal meditation and cultivation. It is essential to clearly understand whether one's energy body has been created and purified through the cultivation of "virtue."
In the world of sentient beings and all living things, energy levels are confined to below three thousand volts. Moreover, when observing such energy forms from the perspective of ordinary beings: some possess only between fifty to five hundred volts, while the highest range merely reaches five hundred to two thousand. Without the energy of "virtue," sentient beings fundamentally lack the capacity to transcend spatial boundaries.
Many sentient beings and living creatures find it quite difficult to focus on their own energy bodies, often paying little attention to them. From the perspective of humanity, the distinctions within the energy body are precisely judged based on "virtue and cultivation." This is both clear and yet obstructed by a kind of "rigid fixation"!
What is the magnitude of the energy bodies of humans, celestial beings, and earthly deities? It is beyond 50,000 volts. As for the higher-level saints, immortals, Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and venerable beings in the human realm, most exceed 50,000 to 100,000 volts, and such cases are numerous. Without undergoing the transformation and elevation by heaven and earth, they merely exist within the human world.
Energy distinguishes among the various species of sentient beings.
Typically, they only serve for a span of five hundred years, acting as deities, saints, immortals, or buddhas in the temples and halls of the human world. If they can undergo rebirth and elevation, they will accumulate an energy of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand volts upward. At the same time, how can the merits achieved over five hundred years in the mortal realm reach the level required for such rebirth and elevation?
Does it become rigidly attached, or does it merely exist as a form of protection within the human world? Moreover, when it comes to self-improvement, one often encounters numerous bottlenecks and obstacles. This condition must be clearly understood. During one's time serving in the human world, is it possible to elevate oneself and create opportunities for future growth and learning? Not necessarily!
For those energy entities of fifty thousand to one hundred thousand volts: those educated through the "Underworld Accumulated Virtue Institute" rarely possess a macro perspective on the virtuous influence of heaven and earth's evolution. Instead, they remain fixated solely on the quantity of their own energy, achieving only ordinary improvements. Worse still, they often merely cycle through repeated setbacks and obstacles.
Regarding the "energy body," if it cannot reach a level of five hundred thousand or one million volts or higher, there is a risk of depletion at any moment when applying voltage. As for the protection and guidance provided to sentient beings and their original spirits, this adds cause upon cause and effect upon effect within the cycle of karma. In the midst of this karmic cycle, it is said that immortals and Buddhas may remain unaffected by the entanglements of karmic retribution.
The process of salvation must not be biased toward any one side.
However, it often happens that the mediator becomes the principal party involved. For those who serve in temples, shrines, and halls, as well as for the sages, immortals, Buddhas, and bodhisattvas, this can pose significant obstacles. It hinders the opportunity to elevate one's own energy. Yet, as decreed by Heaven, since one holds a divine office within the temples, shrines, and ancestral lineages, it is essential to protect and bless the students, successors, and devotees.
Under such conditions of protection, it often happens that a mediator becomes entangled in the affair, and in future circumstances, they find themselves unable to escape this predicament. This situation does not differentiate among the energy forms of all deities, and even holds back those divine beings who aspire to ascend. This is the sorrow of the deities in the human world, yet what can be done about it!
Regarding the energy body, the ability to truly comprehend lies in: the unfolding of virtuous grace by Heaven and Earth, the unfolding of virtuous grace by the Vast Heaven, the unfolding of virtuous grace by the Wuji, and the unfolding of virtuous grace by the great cosmic void. This repositions past modes of thinking and also addresses whether, in all matters or for those who come seeking answers, there can exist an impartial and selfless third-party adjuster.
Different levels correspond to varying energies.
This refers to the differentiation within the vast cosmos of right and wrong, true and false, correct and erroneous, good and evil, and how these distinctions affect one's own energy body. It becomes clear why deities often find themselves helpless, for originally, when sentient beings make their pleas, it is they themselves who should bear the karmic consequences and debts—this is the correct way!
From the perspective of immortals and buddhas, there exists a compassionate function. When intervening in the process of protecting and aiding those who seek their help, it often results in the mediator becoming entangled in the matter—a persistent troubling factor that has existed from past eras to the present. How, then, can this be resolved? This is an examination of such a deeply troubling yet inseparable element of compassion!
Can we comprehend: the virtuous grace of Heaven and Earth, the virtuous grace of the Vast Heaven, the virtuous grace of the Infinite, and the virtuous grace of the great cosmic void—how all the evolutionary processes of creation in Heaven and Earth unfold? If so, it is essential to minimize such formidable obstacles to spiritual elevation! Human ignorance leads to the belief that deities, immortals, and Buddhas are omnipotent and must assist us; if they do not, it is deemed a lack of divine inspiration.
Regarding the karmic obstacles of individuals, sometimes a slight adjustment can help overcome difficulties. However, for those who hold decrees to seek retribution, it is fundamentally necessary to personally endure and repay in order to resolve the situation. This addresses the ignorance of those who pray, believing that supplications to deities, immortals, or Buddhas will surely yield results. In truth, even deities, immortals, and Buddhas cannot defy the law of karma.
Differentiation in the Growth of Energy
The deities of the great cosmos and earth come to observe, and when there are compassionate acts of salvation, if they do not extend aid to those who beseech them, can the gods remain indifferent, witnessing the sorrow, pain, and torment of sentient beings who come to plead? Moreover, the compassionate deeds of salvation and merit performed by all deities, as decreed by Heaven, serve as the criteria for their future ascension and transcendence.
If a just third-party deity demands of itself the ability to achieve harmony and satisfaction for both sides, as well as mutual joy among all three parties, such obstacles would not arise. When sentient beings compare human energy with that of immortals and buddhas, they inevitably perceive the latter as omnipotent, even as beings of boundless supernatural power.
Thus, if one does not beseech the deities and buddhas, whom else should one turn to? When sentient beings come to pray, they often prepare modest offerings of fruits and make small donations of merit money. At such times, the deities and buddhas find themselves in a dilemma, troubled and perplexed. For in such acts of giving, if they do not grant the wishes of those who pray, how then can the supplicants' hopes and requests be fulfilled?
Humans often say: when one is utterly ignorant of the divine energy and power of gods and enlightened beings, there is no spiritual efficacy, nor any responsiveness or capability. Under such circumstances, in a desperate attempt to save face and offer protection to those who pray, they may drag an upright deity or enlightened being into a state of downfall and obstruction. How can human beings bear to do this in their hearts!
Energy Distinguishes Deities, Immortals, and Buddhas
Regarding the merits of a deity or immortal, whether they exist for only five hundred or a thousand years in the human realm, it is generally the case that most deities possess merits lasting only five hundred years, rarely exceeding a thousand years in their appointed positions. Furthermore, the distinction lies in how their intrinsic energy is elevated or diminished.
In a state of ease and tranquility, it is often difficult to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. This also depends on whether the energy bodies of all appointed deities, immortals, and Buddhas can reach an increase of 50,000 to 100,000, or even 500,000 to 1,000,000 volts or more. Through this, one can clearly discern the differences among immortals and Buddhas in terms of their levels, realms, teachings, and energy.
Can it be said that the fruit levels are the same? No! Take, for example, the one known in the human world as Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva—the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea. Although the titles used by various entities are the same, the actual fruit levels, layers, energy, and realms are not identical. It is essential to understand that the layers, realms, teachings, and energy all differ, making it exceedingly difficult for them to be the same!
Creating the future through self-illumination, shaping what ought to be with energy and resources.
Levels of realms and energies unfold,  
Distinct fruition stages bear the virtue of heaven.
Deities and Buddhas serve in the mortal realm, sheltering and blessing all sentient beings.
Offering mere fruits and cloth as alms
Obstructs the energy of the transcendent vehicle.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits: cease all creation of evil karma in the human world, for it prevents the deities and immortals beseeched from ascending and transcending, causing them instead to remain perpetually mired in the turbid, evil realm of the five impurities. Moreover, in this present era, as we have entered the age of cosmic void and technological civilization, all modes of thinking must be transformed accordingly.
Do not merely rest on the achievements of the past five hundred years. Is it not time to ask: Can we elevate ourselves for millennia or even tens of thousands of years? Better yet, can we transcend the obstacles of reincarnation, surpass and return, roaming freely in the vast cosmic void and celestial realms? Such growth in thought and perspective is essential for today's world. Let us hope for it! Let us hope for it!
## The Primordial Queen Mother of the West
The Ultimate Non-Dual Realm has already ascended; Manjushri ascends the platform to meet the virtuous students.
The Bodhisattva arrives today to form a bond,  
As the ancient Buddha’s work fulfills heaven’s design.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea has descended to compose the twenty-first chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao," which elaborates on the differentiation of energies. There are indeed many profound truths to be recorded, yet they cannot all be completed at once due to time constraints. In the next chapter, another immortal or Buddha will continue to analyze and compose.
One can carefully reflect that the compassionate grace of deities and enlightened beings is often intended for sentient beings who come to beseech them. Yet, in doing so, they allow their own opportunities for spiritual attainment to be both created and negated. Can the original spirits of sentient beings truly comprehend such a situation? Alas, no! Often, they only offer one-sided resolutions to those who plead, unable to achieve a mutual and complete fulfillment.
Thus, it becomes impossible to achieve a more harmonious integration among the three aspects. This is the sorrow of sentient deities, immortals, and buddhas, who are unaware that by carefully embodying the essence of deities, immortals, and buddhas, they can dissolve the obstacles of sentient beings. However, the entire process is often beyond the comprehension of emotional human beings. Deities, in their struggle to maintain dignity, often find themselves helplessly transformed from mediators into parties embroiled in conflicts.
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Assembly
The emptiness of cause and condition is by no means shallow;  
The exalted one descends to compose the great treatise of the Dao.
The elevation of the heart's devotion is bestowed by heaven; the rise and fall of one's spiritual rank is inherently prolonged.
The Measure of Ascending or Descending in Spiritual Attainment
Examining from the perspective of energy differentiation, sentient beings such as saints, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings who hold positions in the human realm—whether as main deities or associated deities in temples, palaces, and halls, along with related divine beings—are all subject to the administrative units of the Haotian Executive Yuan. This authority oversees their promotions, demotions, and the balancing of duties, thereby clarifying the mechanisms of advancement and regression for all celestial and Buddhist beings.
Without distinction among Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and all deities of the human world, all are subject to the supervision and jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court's administration. This is precisely the essential duty of Heaven, and it serves as the basis for all promotions and demotions. Furthermore, due to distinctions in energy bodies, all actions in the human world are judged accordingly.
In the future, the conditions of karma and merit that determine one's ascent or descent can be clearly understood through the deity's own karma and actions. These will influence whether one transcends to higher realms or descends into lower states of suffering. This distinction depends on whether, while serving in the human world, one is justly elevated or constrained by human limitations.
Deities, Immortals, and Buddhas are distinguished by their respective levels of attainment.
When sentient beings among humanity come to seek blessings, there is often a tendency to favor those who can ascend spiritually, while showing less care for departed souls. Under such circumstances, those who could ascend to transcendence—immortals, buddhas, or deities—often become entangled in disputes over reputation, turning from impartial mediators into involved parties.
In an instant, it can affect the merits and ranks of the human world for five hundred or even a thousand years. It is clear that when a deity, in responding to the inquiries of all sentient beings, fails to fully comprehend the intricate web of cause and effect, they often become entangled in karmic influences, showing favoritism toward the living while neglecting the spirits of the deceased.
Why, in the work of aiding the world, must a true third-party mediator be impartial and selfless, absolutely refraining from favoring any side? Moreover, these qualities serve as the very foundation for future ascension and transcendent merits. Yet, it is precisely such conditions that are often difficult to truly fulfill—hence the need for cultivation and refinement through impartial and selfless teachings.
Pray for all beings to prepare merits and virtues to offer support.
When human beings make prayers and inquiries, they often prepare fruits and offer money as a means of mediation. However, among all the karmic causes and effects of the past, if one merely relies on a small merit dedication or piously prepares a few fruits to bribe or buy over immortals and Buddhas—and such situations are indeed common among those who make such pleas—it is hardly sufficient.
If it is said that the immortals, Buddhas, and deities do not grant approval, then when examined against the standard of compassion, this criterion cannot be met. Moreover, for the immortals, Buddhas, and deities, it is precisely through the application of wisdom that they should judge how to mediate and adjust all that ought to be redirected. Only in this way can it be avoided that the mediator becomes a party to the dispute, thereby harming the basis for their own future ascension.
It is precisely because all immortals, Buddhas, and deities rely on the human world for their own elevation that the various courses offered by the educational institutions can be studied in detail. They will inevitably take on the role of teaching and guiding in the temples and shrines of the human world in the future. However, when sentient beings come to seek help, they often arrive with tears streaming down their faces, sobbing and weeping uncontrollably.
The Weighing of Ascension and Descent Among Different Levels of Attainment
This situation once again shakes the compassionate and merciful hearts of immortals, Buddhas, and deities. If they do not help sentient beings, they are accused of offering no protection, no inspiration, and no manifestation—such predicaments are endless. All these difficulties also bind the deities, immortals, and Buddhas themselves. It is essential to understand: sometimes, deities, immortals, and Buddhas are helpless, as they absolutely must not interfere with karma!
Furthermore, some individuals may temporarily set aside the cycle of cause and effect due to concerns over saving face, acting rashly without considering the consequences. This allows the supplicants to receive responses and efficacy, thereby achieving three outcomes: first, preserving their own dignity; second, granting the wishes of the beings who seek help; and third, in handling matters, making other immortals, Buddhas, and deities perceive them as possessing vast supernatural powers.
Such conditions often become obstacles that hinder future ascension and transcendence. These are precisely emanated from the energy body of an immortal, Buddha, or deity themselves, clearly indicating that true elevation of future accomplishments and reliance lies in the transcendence of one's own energy. It is in response to this situation that sentient beings flock in droves to seek blessings and make supplications.
Another instance where it is difficult to foresee what the future holds? In the present moment, many beings come knocking, seeking to join the ranks. With more people, tasks are easier to accomplish; more people bring more wealth, and more affairs arise. The efficiency of handling matters yields genuine results, making it clear that this is precisely what is exchanged for one's own merits before an immortal Buddha or deity!
Ascending and descending through all different levels.
If sentient beings were to shift their perspective, how would their mindset change? Without engaging in the cycle of cause and effect, there would be little inspiration, few beings coming to seek blessings, and even fewer resources to enhance the splendor and glory of temples and shrines. This can be said to be another sorrow for immortals, Buddhas, and deities—such is the way of the human world.
In the heavens, there exists a Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, which illuminates every action of all deities, immortals, and Buddhas. Through this Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, everything can be clearly understood. Yet there is no need to stand before it; simply by integrating "energy, merit, aura, and codes" into the Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, all becomes immediately apparent.
Can the sentient deities, immortals, and buddhas comprehend this process? No! It is precisely because of such conditions that there exist, in the human world, deities, immortals, and buddhas of varying levels, teachings, realms, and energies. As for how one should conduct oneself? All can be understood through the "Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror"!
All functions of ascending, descending, weighing, and measuring.
It is through the compassionate grace of sentient deities, immortals, and buddhas that the suffering, ailments, and afflictions of sentient beings are alleviated. However, it is essential that, through education and culture, sentient beings—after receiving the aid and transformation from deities, immortals, and buddhas—can rectify their past mistakes. Only then can there be true and perfect great compassion for oneself, for the immortals and buddhas, and for the deities.
If we consider the sentient beings of the present moment, it is precisely they who are capable of frequently committing mistakes and evil deeds, yet often turn to deities and immortals to seek resolution. By merely offering a small donation of money or preparing some fruits and melons, they believe they can appeal to the powers of these deities and immortals. In doing so, the very abilities of these divine beings are, in a sense, betrayed by the humans who beseech them—a truly lamentable state of affairs!
The compassion of such divine beings, immortals, and buddhas is often held back by these misguided and wrongdoing human beings. Can the energy of these immortals and buddhas then ascend? I ask you all! Such circumstances are now ubiquitous, precisely because differences in levels, teachings, and realms lead to differences in energy.
Pitiful and sorrowful, they come knocking and pleading.
It can be said: the margin of error in the rise and fall of spiritual attainment determines whether a deity, immortal, or Buddha can ascend further. This distinction lies in the merit accumulated over one to five hundred years in the human realm, or six to a thousand years—precisely the dividing line between ascent and descent. If it were oneself, could one comprehend how such achievements lead to promotion or demotion?
It is through the Heavenly Mirror of the Divine Will that everything becomes perfectly clear. There is no need to summon immortals, Buddhas, or deities before the Heavenly Mirror of the Divine Will. Merely by inputting the four elements—code, color, score, and energy—one can understand everything at a glance. All judgments regarding the rise or fall of merits are based on this.
If we merely ask: can the human world comprehend this issue? It is not certain! I ask all sentient beings with emotions: will you forever remain trapped in the cycles and whirlpools of reincarnation? Moreover, the obstacles posed by all deities, immortals, and buddhas are precisely what cannot be overcome—that is, they are the karmic hindrances of humanity, burdened by too much, which must be redirected and transformed!
Energy is distinguished by ascending and descending positions;  
Sentient beings, deities, immortals, and Buddhas return to their origins.
If the supplication of all beings is not granted, it means compassion has failed the test.
If one claims that spiritual responses are guaranteed,  
the more people and wealth, the more troubles will arise.
Prosperity and action must be guided by teaching—  
Do not act rashly, lest evil obstacles remain.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and all students of our lineage. Everyone can shift perspectives—imagine yourselves as deities or immortals. How then should one respond to such supplications from sentient beings? In this way, one can understand how to approach all obstacles, and thus avoid being influenced by the pleas of human petitioners.
## Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang
The boundless karma reveres the heart's labor,  
The Earth Mother's grace bestows merit upon all beings.
The Supreme ascends the platform to meet the virtuous;  
All unite in harmony to achieve the Great Unity.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the True Chairman of our lineage, the Supreme Being of the Void, has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of *The Revered Heart of the Great Dao*. This chapter addresses the elevation and demotion of spiritual attainments, serving as an educational and cultural curriculum for all sentient beings who earnestly seek. It is, in essence, a transformative project of "not repeating past mistakes."
The lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect, from the establishment of its hall to the present, must be understood in terms of its purpose: to aid sentient beings through transformation. In this process, both merits and karmic obstacles are formed, requiring harmony between the two and fulfillment among the three aspects. This further reflects distinctions in levels, realms, attainments, and energies, shaping the varied approaches in the teaching process from different perspectives.
Over these years, although the personal realization of "clarifying the mind and perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and achieving fruition" has not been highly effective, from the perspective of everyone's wisdom enhancement, gradual progress and results have already been achieved. If one can persist without interruption or disconnection, it will certainly become much easier in the future to attain "clarifying the mind and perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and achieving fruition."
This is yet another virtue cultivated by the Patriarch of the Li Bi Sect in recent years, presented for everyone to learn and grow. Just as there is a "top scholar teacher," there must also be "top scholar students" to carry on the legacy. One can deeply appreciate the profound care and intentions of the immortals and buddhas—truly, it is a case of "wishing iron could turn into steel," striving to offer everyone the opportunity for lifelong elevation and achievement!
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void
From the void, the exalted heart originates as one,
The spiritual aperture descends to the foundation of supreme virtue.
The Immortal Maiden authored the revered Heart Sutra,  
As the Celestial Emperor presides over the era of the Great Dao.
The Lord of Heaven governs the authority of promotion and demotion.
By observing the ascension or descent of spiritual ranks, one can discern the presence of a Celestial Administrative Unit that oversees all evaluations and assessments. This unit is responsible for determining the criteria for promotion or demotion, which serves as the dividing line between the attainment of future sainthood, divinity, enlightenment, or bodhisattva status, and the risk of worldly downfall within a single lifetime.
The spiritual hierarchy and the assessment of merits and demerits among all deities in the sentient world are overseen and evaluated by a supreme divine authority. Through the training and cultivation of humanity and the unseen realms across the vast cosmos, these deities are prepared to serve as future emissaries of divine will, whether as principal or auxiliary deities in temples, shrines, or among all celestial beings.
There must be the administrative responsibilities, missions, and sacred duties bestowed from the Heavenly Realm, which are understood through the assessment and training processes conducted by the Heavenly Realm. During this training, the accumulated trials and the wisdom and virtues gained, combined with one's own actions, serve as the basis for determining whether one is capable of shouldering the significant responsibilities entrusted by the Heavenly Realm in the future.
The Celestial Court administers the assessment of all divine duties.
It is precisely through this process that the accumulation of experience in such duties determines the conditions for an action, providing a basis for all deities and enlightened beings to make future judgments. It is also through the evaluation of actions by the Heavenly Realm that the future distinction is reached—whether one is worthy of being elevated or condemned in the scrutiny of the Heavenly Realm.
The ascension and descent of all sentient deities, immortals, and buddhas must be achieved through training and conditioning, enabling them to accomplish their missions and carry out educational actions for the guidance of beings. This process is passed down from generation to generation, from era to era. For all sentient beings, it is through this means that they can attain positions of responsibility in the present and in future realms.
It is also the authoritative body that oversees the ascent and descent of all deities, immortals, and buddhas, and in the human world, it makes no distinction between the innate and the acquired. Nor does it differentiate between Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, or any other religion, as well as all temples, palaces, halls, and the appointed representatives of deities. All must undergo the evaluation and judgment of the administrative unit of the Heavenly Supreme Sovereign, which holds the authority to promote or demote.
The amount of merit points awarded for all accomplishments serves as the boundary determining future ascension or descent in achievement. In the sentient world at this very moment, numerous innate and acquired deities, immortals, and buddhas—regardless of religious distinctions—must undergo assessment and review by the administrative units of Haotian. This applies both during training and in the execution of duties aligned with their attained positions.
Haotian governs the administration of heaven, earth, and humanity.
It can be understood that one matter is that the administrative unit of the Great Cosmos, Haotian, precisely governs all thirty-three or thirty-six celestial realms, as well as the subordinate seventy-two underworld realms. This constitutes all the duties and balancing functions of the Haotian administrative unit, which are applied to the ascent and descent of all deities, following such regulations.
Regarding the distinction between ascent and descent, none are overlooked; all deities, immortals, and buddhas are treated as such. There is no differentiation between what the mortal world refers to as the earlier and later heavenly realms, nor among all temples, palaces, and halls. The one who governs the balance of all ascents and descents is none other than the Heavenly Executive, the Great Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven!
Furthermore, for all deities, immortals, and buddhas, regardless of whether they are primordial or later celestial beings—except for those who have transcended the cycle of rebirth—they are not subject to this condition for supervision. However, although the Haotian administrative unit does not directly govern them, it still manages them indirectly, without distinction, overseeing all Yiguan, Buddhist, or Taoist temples, monasteries, and halls under its jurisdiction.
Regardless of any conditions, in the exercise of administrative jurisdiction over the Heavenly Court, it serves as the primary basis for governance. For each deity, immortal, or Buddha, the energy derived from their merits and virtues continuously accumulates and dissipates. The distinction lies solely in whether the energy of a deity, immortal, or Buddha is sufficient and abundant, which serves as the basis for their future ascension or descent.
The Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror can discern all divine officials.
If one is unable to accumulate merit, it is due to the fullness of the energy body being fulfilled. Precisely because there exists the condition of relying on the Supreme Heaven, it can be said: because of the illuminating function of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," there is fundamentally no need to summon deities, immortals, or Buddhas before the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror" for judgment. Merely through codes and words, distinctions are revealed.
Thus, it becomes clear how the energy resources of the present moment are. This condition also departs from the reliance on the "Doumu Palace" in the Middle Heavenly Realm, as the "Doumu Palace" serves as the foundation for the "primordial spirits" of all human beings, which can be understood through it. However, for ascending deities, they are no longer subject to the supervision of the Doumu Palace!
It is essential to directly receive the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" for supervision, which serves as the criterion for judging all actions. Precisely, it grants "codes, hues, scores, and energy" in varying measures—ones that cannot be comprehended by oneself. Yet, with the presence of numerous deities and enlightened beings, one can directly understand the state of one's own energy body and discern how much of it is truly complete.
Administration governs all fundamental conditions.
For all deities, immortals, and buddhas, their own conditions determine that their energies are stratified into many levels. Among the deities, immortals, and buddhas in the human world, as well as those higher-level divine beings who seek to transcend the Earth's star system, such causal connections, shaped by their inherent conditions, manifest as distinct functional roles.
Furthermore, in seeking to obtain from such high-level deities, immortals, and Buddhas the fullness and abundance of energy they possess, the amount of energy one receives depends not only on the quantity available but also on corresponding causes and conditions. As this pertains to another level of spiritual attainment and varies in terms of karmic connections, it can be assessed through the inherent conditions of the Great Dao itself.
As for the deities, immortals, and buddhas themselves, their levels and realms differ, and whether their energy resources are complete or not? This is again achieved through the causes and conditions cultivated within the human world, which can fulfill the energy of all deities, immortals, and buddhas. Precisely because the conditions of levels and realms differ, so too are the conditions of levels, realms, and fruition stages different!
It can be said that deities, immortals, and buddhas, through their own karma and cultivation, achieve transcendence over growth and the fulfillment of causes. This precisely distinguishes the various levels within the realms of the innate and the acquired. Moreover, it differentiates the future ascension across the thirty-three celestial realms, reflecting variations in the conditions and stages of enlightenment and teaching.
The Sovereign of Heaven governs the authority of ascent and descent.
In the vast cosmos, regardless of all Earthly star systems, any deity who has ever been a human being in an Earthly star system—whether trained, self-cultivated, or educated—can meet the qualifications to preside over the Heavenly Court. As for all deities, immortals, and Buddhas in the human realm, if they are not governed by the Heavenly Court’s administration, can they truly ascend? It would be exceedingly difficult!
All that is accomplished in the vast world, along with the management norms upheld, and the training for the human world, which gives rise to all deities, must be supervised and governed by the Heavenly Will to be the righteous path! It is under such conditions that the karmic functions descend, enabling an accomplished deity or immortal Buddha to attain: the fruition of enlightenment!
After five hundred or even a thousand years of meritorious contributions to the human world, and by relying on such principles, one can understand that those capable of transcending deities, immortals, and Buddhas hold their future ascent or descent in their own hands. It is through their own efforts that they achieve upward attainment.
The celestial scales of ascent and descent  
The sentient beings of the human world
Appointed to the worldly path, all immortals and deities are elevated through the training process.
Different levels and conditions vary, yet the fruition of merits heralds auspicious signs.
Realms and conditions grow through cultivation,  
Learning and achievements are each appreciated in their own way.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits; regardless of the distinction between the primordial and the manifested: the Limitless Three Pure Ones and all deities, immortals, and buddhas in the worldly paths serve as the support for growth. One must understand that one's future lies in one's own hands, and that by channeling one's own energy and resources, one can attain completeness and elevation. May this be hoped for! May this be hoped for!
## The Venerable King of Boundless Grace and Vast Dominion
A rare chance brings me to this stage,  
Beloved students, your affection I engage.
The Golden Mother of the Jade Pond of the Wuji is present,  
It is only right that she protects and bestows auspiciousness.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Spiritual Aperture from our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-third chapter of "The Reverence of the Heart for the Great Dao." This chapter elucidates the principles governing the celestial order under the rule of the Heavenly Emperor, aiming to elevate all deities, immortals, and Buddhas within the vast cosmos.
In the planetary system of Earth, whether through training, self-cultivation, or ascension beyond, one must undergo the administrative judgment of the Heavenly Court regarding promotion or demotion. This process serves as a foundation for one’s future achievements. If one can ascend and transcend, it becomes possible to break free from the constraints of the three-dimensional space and escape the limitations of the cycle of rebirth.
Under the nurturing and protection bestowed by the virtues of heaven and earth, illuminated by the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," one may in the future break free from the constraints and obstacles of the Earth's star system. This pertains to all experiences and trials in the human world, which are precisely guided by one's actions and deeds, determining whether one will ascend and transcend or repeatedly sink into the cycle of reincarnation. Can this be understood?
## Void-Colored Numinous Immortal Maiden
Void harbors affection, nurturing all living beings;  
Spiritual will, rooted in origin, descends with fulfillment.
The Immortal Maiden's works revere the Heart Book; supervision and examination are indeed genuine.
Supervision, Assessment, and Promotion/Demotion System
The authority to elevate or demote is governed by principles, precisely because there exists the administrative unit of the Heavenly Court as its foundation. Moreover, it has undergone a unified management of all that descends below and ascends beyond, including sages, immortals, and buddhas. This serves as the basis for assessing ascent and descent. Only under such conditions can norms be used as criteria for judgment.
Otherwise, how could there be the authority to determine ascent and descent? This is precisely the condition clearly established by the Supreme Heaven for its exercise. For all deities in the sentient world, it is necessary to undergo the judgment and assessment of the Supreme Heaven in order to establish the basis for ascent or descent. This serves as the criterion for evaluation, guiding future transcendence and ascension.
Moreover, within the vast cosmos and the human realm, encompassing all religions, there must be a comprehensive system of rewards and punishments for all deities, immortals, and buddhas. This system serves to evaluate, promote, or demote based on merit, distinguishing between those who genuinely contribute and those who merely muddle through. In the human world, it is the deities, immortals, and buddhas who conduct these assessments.
The basis for impartial rewards and punishments, overseeing heaven, earth, and humanity.
Through the system of divine rewards and punishments, those who achieve excellent results are granted incentives, while those with average performance are motivated to improve. For those who repeatedly fail to demonstrate tangible results in assessments, a set of punitive measures is in place. This constitutes the comprehensive framework for evaluating advancement and demotion.
Under such conditions, all thoughts and intentions arising in the human world are functions of consciousness that remain invisible and elusive. However, in the realms of deities, immortals, and buddhas, every single thought that arises can be perceived with absolute clarity and thoroughness. This allows for the establishment of a system of rewards and punishments, ensuring that there is no deviation or injustice whatsoever.
In establishing the basis for rewards and punishments, there exists this clearly defined operation by Shangcang (Heaven), which has implemented the system of rewards and penalties for countless eons. This ensures that for the deities, immortals, and Buddhas themselves, there is no room for an imperfect or unworkable system. Such conditions of cause and effect are inherent to the world of deities, immortals, and Buddhas, and have always been so!
To clearly understand that the energy of deities, gods, and buddhas themselves is thousands of times greater than that of human beings, one must truly comprehend and realize this energy through the very act of intention and thought. If this condition cannot be met, it will inevitably affect the functional efficacy of the deities, immortals, and buddhas themselves, greatly diminishing their effectiveness.
Assessment of Three C's, Ten C's, and Ten-Dimensional Space
From the perspective of the deities, immortals, and buddhas themselves: only through a just approach and an impartial system of rewards and punishments can a compassionate world of deities, immortals, and buddhas be established, characterized by fairness, selflessness, and equality. It is precisely through this system of rewards and punishments that the merits and virtues of each deity, immortal, or buddha are evaluated.
Furthermore, throughout each year, every process and detail is conducted without departing from the regulatory framework for evaluating the actions of self-interested and malevolent deities and immortals. Thus, heaven has its celestial laws, earth its public statutes, and humanity its legal codes. This makes it clear that the just laws governing heaven, earth, and humanity serve the function of management and regulation.
It is precisely the supervision over all within the vast cosmos—deities, immortals, Buddhas, sentient human beings, and all living things—that encompasses the oversight of heaven, earth, humanity, and all creation. This function is carried out by the "Mirrors of Heaven, Earth, and the Human Heart," which, through scores, hues, energy, and codes, enable the understanding of all things!
Furthermore: within the achievements from the third to the tenth C and the ten-dimensional space, when prompts are given, this "Heaven and Earth Heart Mirror" emerges with its: hues, scores, energy, and codes, all becoming instantly clear. The abundance or scarcity of these conditions precisely depends on one's own boundary point of ascension or descent, serving as an impartial and selfless demonstration.
Supervising the Duties and Assessing the Deities and Immortals
Without oversight, it would be impossible to impartially manage the system of rewards and punishments for the three realms of heaven, earth, and humanity. In the absence of fairness and impartiality, numerous issues would arise, making it difficult to ensure just rewards and punishments. Therefore, all actions—whether of deities, sages, immortals, or buddhas across Earth and the star systems—are subject to supervision and evaluation as the basis for judgment.
It is precisely through the celestial and terrestrial mirrors that the deeds of deities, immortals, and buddhas are examined and categorized for any errors. Not the slightest mistake from past actions is overlooked, ensuring absolute impartiality. This process determines whether the thoughts and deeds of deities, immortals, and buddhas lead to ascension and transcendence or to descent and downfall.
All deities within the sentient world often possess only five centuries of merit, frequently leading to numerous inescapable predicaments. Rarely are there those like immortals and buddhas, who transcend millennia of time. As for the assessment of their performance, how should it be conducted? It ought to be based on evaluating the merits of the deities, immortals, and buddhas themselves.
This is often unclear to sentient deities and immortals, and why the heavens can see one's every action with perfect clarity. This is precisely due to the function of a "Mirror of Heaven and Earth's Heart," which truthfully reflects and projects all assessments, rewards, and punishments, providing a standard of conduct that demands vigilance and caution, as if treading on thin ice.
The Heart-Mirror of Heaven and Earth Reflects All
Within the vast universe, whether it be humans, deities, immortals, Buddhas, or departed spirits—all living beings and myriad things of heaven and earth—are projected and reflected by the heart-mirror of heaven, earth, and humanity, the "IC microcrystal." Through this, one can instantly comprehend their own evaluation scores, clearly seeing how many points they have attained.
It is precisely an educational and cultural curriculum condition, with very few such conceptual frameworks for dissemination. Because of this condition, the evaluation of human beings and deities, immortals, and Buddhas is based on this foundation, ensuring that absolutely no unjust judgments arise. This circumstance and condition have existed within the Earth's star system for hundreds of billions of years.
To render a fair, just, and impartial judgment on the authority of all deities across the vast cosmos, one may achieve this through their own actions, allowing for personal growth and learning. This, within the foreseeable conditions of the future, offers all deities, immortals, Buddhas, and the myriad beings of the human world the ability to remain blameless before heaven and earth even in the darkest of chambers.
The assessment system leaves no dark corners unexamined.
Furthermore, for those who remain blameless in their conscience toward heaven and earth even in the darkest of circumstances, this may serve as a condition for ascension and transcendence. Through the projection of memories stored within their own IC micro-crystals, under the conditions of such memory projection, it is precisely this process that monitors and evaluates all deeds—both merits and faults—of every human being, deity, and immortal.
There is no need to speak of how much one has accomplished, for there exists the "Mirror of Heaven, Earth, and the Human Heart" to serve as judgment. This provides a fair and impartial basis for assessment, offering an equal and trustworthy standard. Moreover, for all deities, immortals, Buddhas, and the myriad beings of the sentient world, how do their "thoughts and intentions in the heart" fare within a given process or period of time?
These conditions are immediately clear, and with them, there is a precise basis for expressing the "arising of thoughts and intentions." Thus, in Buddhist thought, why is it necessary to purify and elevate the true nature of actions such as "purity tainted by defilement and defilement transformed into purity," and to eliminate all shortcomings of "stains that defile and defilements that stain"!
Supervision and assessment should be carefully considered and practiced.
It becomes clear why, in Buddhist thought, the condition of "subtle contemplation and cultivation" is necessary for growth, elevation, and transcendence. Thus, the true condition applies without distinction to deities, immortals, Buddhas, or sentient beings—all are projected upon and illuminated by the "mirror of heaven, earth, and the human heart." Moreover, this mirror does not permit falsification or the exchange of relational interests.
Therefore, "the conscience of heaven, earth, and humanity" serves as the "mirror of conscience and benevolence" to guide and transform the world. This also provides a basis for assessing and rewarding or penalizing the original spirits of sentient beings. Otherwise, despite great effort and hardship, and despite those who strive and struggle relentlessly, without any form of reward, the impartiality and selflessness of heaven and earth would be compromised. Hence, the "mirror of heaven, earth, and the human heart" is taken as the ultimate standard.
This is the basis for deities, immortals, and buddhas themselves, which lies in the verification process of "arising thoughts and intentions." It is entirely truthful, leaving no room for any falsification. It grants deities, immortals, and buddhas of the sentient world clarity through the function of the great cosmic mirror of human hearts—the IC microcrystalline memory. Under such conditions of cause and effect, all assessments are conducted.
It is extremely rare for deities, immortals, and buddhas to descend into either their own realms or the human world to provide guidance and validation. Yet, we are blessed with this profound celestial opportunity to compile the "Dadao Series" of heavenly texts. Within this course, we are granted firsthand materials and abundant resources for verification. Only the Chongxin lineage can genuinely validate and comprehend this truth.
The authority of the lofty heavens to elevate and lower, overseeing and managing all spiritual deities.
The divine realm bears witness,  
Every thought and intention reveals the truth.
Thus are the multitudes of sentient beings with love and affection formed between heaven and earth.
The heart-mirror of heaven and earth shines forth,  
Revealing truth without the slightest distortion.
This verse! It serves as mutual verification and growth for all sentient beings in the human world, as well as all deities, immortals, and buddhas, enabling one to truly benefit oneself. Otherwise, how would one even know one's own score? How could one clearly understand, within the merits of five hundred years or a thousand years, what one's own actions and deeds have been? Difficult indeed! Difficult indeed!
##The Supreme Martial King of Wuyue
Rare is this auspicious occasion, as the Queen Mother of the Primordial Realm ascends the platform.
Together we gather, all wise spirits and children,
Growing and learning, we line up in order.
All Saints, Buddhas, Virtuous Souls, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Spirit from our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This work presents the evaluations and judgments from the overall supervision and assessment, and verifies the rare karmic opportunities bestowed throughout the ages. It is offered for the understanding of deities, immortals, Buddhas, and all sentient beings among humanity.
In the midst of "arising thoughts and stirring intentions," how can one benefit oneself, and how does this serve as the basis for the divine examination and judgment by the heavens? This is not something ordinary deities, immortals, or Buddhas can fully comprehend. Through the reflection of this "Mirror of Heaven and Earth's Heart," all manifestations are verified and imprinted. Every past action and movement is projected and reenacted truthfully within this mirror. Can it be falsified? Certainly not!
## Immortal Maiden of Embroidered Flowers in the Void
The causes and conditions of emptiness are vastly different; the spiritual assembly descends to the mundane to accomplish its work.
The Immortal Maiden authored the revered "Chongxin Volume,"  
Ascending and descending are guided by the cultivation of great virtue.
The basis for all ascents and descents lies with the August Heaven.
The Heavenly Court, in administering governance, supervision, and assessment, establishes a unified set of criteria for promotion and demotion. This system is founded on principles of justice and fairness, providing a clear basis for evaluation across the vast cosmos. For all deities, immortals, and buddhas, as long as they adhere to the fundamental functions of supervision and assessment, there will be objective standards to determine the conditions for ascension or descent.
For all deities, immortals, and buddhas across the vast universe, there exists an evaluation of their own actions, governed by the criteria set by the Heavenly Realm. Within the human world, whether one has accumulated merits over five hundred years or a thousand years, there is always a system of assessment, promotion, or demotion based on these standards.
From ancient times to the present day, the celestial realm maintains a system of wandering deities of the sun and moon. These deities, in their supervisory and evaluative duties, often incorporate personal emotional factors into their assessments and judgments. This condition, to a small extent, lacks a basis of impartiality, as it occurs within the framework of time and space where the wandering deities of the sun and moon are themselves monitored and evaluated, determining all records of ascent and descent.
The Sun and Moon Wandering Spirits examine and assess all sentient beings.
After being supervised and assessed by the traveling deities of the sun and moon, the results are compiled and reported to the Heavenly Emperor. Through the function of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," all deities, immortals, and Buddhas are evaluated for promotion or demotion. This clearly reveals how the merits, virtues, and actions of deities, immortals, and Buddhas are judged in the human world.
Incorporating one's own thoughts and consciousness as a basis for ascent or descent introduces many new concepts and knowledge not covered in past training courses. Furthermore, regarding the actions of deities, immortals, and buddhas, who is to evaluate, assess, and oversee all their thoughts and concepts? This also encompasses all their deeds.
The determination of whether one's future ascends or declines hinges on these conditions, which are reflected in scores and hues to mark each individual's achievements and karmic connections. Moreover, not the slightest outcome of all diligent struggles and earnest efforts will be overlooked, as they are precisely recorded by the IC micro-crystal and projected directly.
The rise and fall of actions serve as a mirror to the heart of heaven and earth, offering clear reflection.
It will then be revealed in the projection of the past, recorded by the "Mirror of Heaven, Earth, and Human Hearts—the IC Microcrystal Memory," how the deities, immortals, and buddhas of the sentient world or the Heavenly Realm have fared in their merits and virtues, without the need for self-judgment. The same applies to the actions of all living beings in the sentient world.
Furthermore, in every detail and across all times and environments, every action of each deity, immortal, Buddha, human beings, and all living creatures is under supervision and evaluation. Only in this way can true fairness, justice, and even a state of selfless impartiality be achieved. This is precisely because every sentient being possesses an IC microchip that records all memories.
In essence, this involves integrating the causal essence—or genetic makeup—of a deity, immortal, or sentient being into the code of the "Mirror of Heaven, Earth, and Human Hearts." Through this mirror, one can truly and clearly perceive all past actions and deeds, much like viewing slides from the microcrystalline memory of a human IC chip. This comprehensive record of thought and experience is utterly incapable of falsification.
The Heart-Mirror of Heaven and Earth Manifests Differently
This is not something that can be synthesized by ordinary computers. Through the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," the process is integrated into IC microchips. The microchips currently used in the human world's computers are precisely a small part of the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" bestowed by the heavens upon the human realm, serving to elevate technological civilization.
In the process of verifying this civilization, it can also be corroborated by all that has come before. Moreover, through the great compassion and grace bestowed by the Heavenly Providence, the essential factor of this high-tech civilization—genes—has been imparted to the human world. For all deities, immortals, and buddhas in their realms, such knowledge remains rarely understood with clarity.
In the Haotian world, deities, immortals, and Buddhas, as well as the immortals, Buddhas, and holy deities of the cosmic void worlds, differ in their levels, realms, and functions of enlightenment. They rarely possess a comprehensive understanding of the merits accumulated over "five hundred years" in the human realm, or even of the merits associated with deities, immortals, and Buddhas over "a thousand years."
Ascending and descending, all can be known according to the secret code.
It involves encoding all the actions of deities, immortals, and buddhas from the human world into IC microcrystals. Through the encrypted codes of the Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror, these are evaluated based on criteria such as color, score, and other functional assessments. Thus, when an immortal, buddha, or deity enters the human world, they must have accumulated merits spanning at least one hundred to one thousand years.
Why is it that in the human world, deities, immortals, and buddhas—or those who have already transcended the cycle of rebirth, such as saints and divine beings—possess fundamentally different energies? It is precisely due to this distinction that, under such conditions, the past thoughts and actions of a deity, immortal, or buddha in the human realm can serve as a basis for judgment.
The heavens are indeed quite fair and just, even selfless and impartial. For the deities, immortals, and buddhas of the sentient world or the celestial realm, including all religious deities, immortals, and buddhas within the Earth's star system: it is necessary to undergo the projection of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," which incorporates all actions as a basis for upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
The color of the password score indicates the level of energy.
A single lever of ascent and descent governs all actions. Through the administrative unit of the Heavenly Court, the code is input into the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart," which distinguishes scores and colors, along with their associated functions. This is then incorporated into the IC microcrystal—the genetic essence—for judgment, ensuring that all deities and celestial beings are truly evaluated without resorting to sophistry or deceit.
When one believes oneself to possess great virtue and merit, or harbors feelings of grievance and complaint, the basis for all judgment is not merely recorded and assessed by the celestial deities of the sun and moon. Rather, it is truly projected through the imaging of the IC micro-crystal, which verifies according to one's own inherent conditions.
Thus, there will be no fabricated or false confirmations, nor will there be any basis for evaluating all human beings, sentient beings, and all living things. Sentient beings often resort to sophistry and believe they have accumulated abundant merits and virtues, unaware that in any time or space, a subtle reflection exists regarding their every action.
Nothing will be overlooked by the projections of the "Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror" or the "Earthly Heart's Sinful Mirror," nor even by the projections of the "Conscience's Benevolent (Human) Mirror—the memory of the IC microcrystal." This serves as the basis for judging all living beings in the vast world, and it is through these conditions that the heavens above can understand everything with perfect clarity.
The balancing role of ascent and descent
Furthermore, for all sentient beings in love, as well as deities, immortals, and buddhas, if one repeatedly resorts to sophistry or even imposes cunning arguments, then there is no need to engage in further self-justification. Instantly, all aspects—such as codes, hues, scores—will generate corresponding energy forms, along with all other functional judgments, and the outcome will be immediately apparent.
Moreover, there is no room for any falsification or for thoughts influenced by human sentiments. This is because the Heavenly Providence, in its dealings with all deities, immortals, Buddhas, human beings, and all other living creatures, leaves not the slightest oversight, nor does it harbor any partiality—it is utterly just and impartial!
There is such a high-tech combination of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror, Earthly Heart Karmic Mirror, and Conscience Benevolent Mirror—IC Microcrystals." Together, they provide a truly convincing effect for the deities, immortals, Buddhas, human beings, and all living beings in the sentient world. This serves as a highly accurate basis for the principles of ascension and descent in the vast universe.
Rise and fall are based on one's deeds,  
Heaven's scales weigh the duties one heeds.
The Heavenly Heart's sacred mirror illuminates all things,  
The Earthly Heart's mirror of iniquity can trace every trace.
A benevolent heart is a mirror of virtue;  
Every sentient being is a self unto itself.
The vast heavens fulfill all living spirits,  
Returning to transcendence, perfect and complete.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings in the world, including humans and deities alike. Yet, in the very act of "arising thoughts and stirring intentions," how often do humans and beings impose clever arguments, even resorting to sophistry—and what can one do about it?
This is the most fundamental cause that can make one genuinely convinced. It is not something that has only emerged in the present moment but has been so since countless billions of years ago! Otherwise, on what basis would the administrative units of the Heavenly Court operate? Everyone can also understand this clearly from the firsthand information available!
##Wuji Chenghuang Dijun
The Ultimate Fruition is bestowed by the Heavenly Court,  
All sentient beings may bear the charge of life's endowment.
The Lady gives thanks for the grace of the Imperial Mother, whose achievements elevate and benefit all sentient beings.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Immortal Maiden from the Void Spiritual Assembly of our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This work truthfully elucidates the function of ascent and descent as a basis, which is not an evaluative criterion that deities, immortals, or Buddhas from ordinary temples or monasteries can fully comprehend.
Such causes and conditions have led the Chongxin Sect to bear this heavenly mandate, enabling all deities, Buddhas, students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy to understand, through firsthand information, the process of virtue and grace in the evolution of heaven and earth. This reflects the celestial duties and mission undertaken by Chongxin, demonstrating great courage and determination to advance and promote its cause.
##Void-Colored Crane Immortal Maiden
Vast and empty, causes and conditions are greatly distinct;  
Spiritually connected, they aid and transform all sentient beings.
The Immortal Maiden's work spans twenty-six chapters,  
Where the Great Dao exalts the heart and virtue pervades the vast cosmos.
The Supreme Conditions for Honoring the Heart in the Great Dao
The celestial authority, in its divine judgment, observes all compassionate temples, halls, and sacred sites across the world, as well as the deities, immortals, and buddhas of every religious lineage. This serves to unify the administrative governance of the Heavenly Court, making it known that within the Earth's star system, all deities, immortals, and buddhas must operate under the jurisdiction and authority of the Heavenly Court's administration.
It can also be said that it is precisely through the assessment based on primary causes and conditions, under the supervision and management of the Heavenly Emperor, that all deities, immortals, and Buddhas are evaluated for their promotion or demotion, as well as the actions of all human beings, thereby achieving a just and fair system of supervision, management, and assessment. This is what aligns with the beginning of celestial administration.
Regarding this matter: Through the personal decree of the Supreme Venerable Mother of the Wuji, bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage, a mission and heritage have been established as a foundation. As for the sacred duties and responsibilities undertaken by this newly emerging lineage, what are they? Precisely, within the timeless work of the ages, it is to uphold and renew the dharma of this cosmic cycle, disseminating and verifying it within the context of contemporary technological civilization.
Namo Dipankara Ancient Buddha's Proclamation: The True Buddha Heart Sect
Within the realm of sentient beings, throughout the administration of the Celestial Court and all sacred duties under the jurisdiction of the Wuji, the Chongxin lineage was able to stand out and be selected precisely because its duties and missions had long been predetermined. Having endured numerous trials and tribulations, and having passed rigorous tests under harsh conditions, it was ultimately affirmed by the Heavens. This was no mere coincidence!
Nor is it merely a matter of minor sacred duties. If Chongxin were unable to shoulder the responsibilities and sacred mission bestowed by the Heavens to descend and enlighten, then the rigorous demands placed upon the leader of Chongxin—the Patriarch Li Bi—would be in vain. It is precisely because the celestial beings and Buddhas from the Void and the Wuji Heavenly Realm descend to reside at the Yichi Chongxin Hall that the only "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" of our time are being authored.
Moreover, through the guidance of the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara, the five great founders and venerable leaders of Buddhism descended to the Chongxin Hall of Imperial Decree, personally bestowing the establishment of the "True Buddha Heart School." This marks a rare and pivotal opportunity and karmic connection across the ages. For the "True Buddha Heart School" and the "Chongxin Hall of Imperial Decree," this signifies an elevation within the extraordinary lineage of the Heavenly Administration.
The establishment of the first "Academy of the Supreme Ultimate Dao" in the realm of the Supreme Ultimate Principle is a profound and rare opportunity in the history of education and cultural courses for sentient beings and primordial spirits. The elevation of "ancestral spirits, virtuous and aggrieved souls, and infant spirits" into this academy, as advocated by Chongxin, represents another unprecedented and exceedingly rare karmic opportunity.
All Duties and Missions of the Chongxin Organization
The cause and conditions are particularly auspicious. Through the Principal of the Li Pen Sect, in the process of constructing all past contemplations, the verifications originally existing in the Void Heaven Realm and the Wuji Heaven Realm were truthfully transmitted into the celestial texts. For all to contemplate and understand clearly, the Chongxin Celestial Text Series is indeed of an exceptionally high level and profound practicality.
If it aligns with the technological civilization of the present era, it can meet the needs and necessities of sentient beings. To clearly manifest what future technology will verify and bring down is, in fact, a reality that surpasses the current technological civilization by thousands of years—a state that all beings have struggled to attain over countless lifetimes. It truly elevates the conditions guided by the "consciousness of the mind."
This can be verified with absolute certainty, and under such conditions, it becomes clear that the Master of the Principle Pen is by no means an ordinary "transmitter of heavenly messages." Rather, he has descended to fulfill the eternal mission of the ages, bringing down from the realms of the Void and the Limitless Heaven a celestial Buddha to the human world, to serve as a curriculum of education and culture.
Thus, the teachings bestowed by "Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha" in the human world precisely attest to the benevolence and compassion accumulated over millions of years. Moreover, Chongxin has undertaken the sacred mission and duty, which is not merely an ordinary sacred task, but rather a testament to the ancient sages and Buddhas who descended into the mortal realm to carry out education and cultural enlightenment.
A Sublime Affinity: Authoring the Series of Heavenly Texts on the Great Dao
Moreover, there was one who, under the "Venerable Celestial Lord of Illuminating the Heart in the Ethereal Heaven," descended to the Chongxin Hall! This is indeed a rare and supreme affinity across the ages, which also facilitated the creation of all the works in the "Great Dao Series." How can this enable everyone to achieve genuine attainment in this lifetime, while simultaneously attaining enlightenment and verification in the present moment?
The phrase "illuminating the mind to perceive one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit of practice" serves as a profound and authentic testament to a timeless achievement. It reflects the boundless compassion and grace of Heaven within the human realm, manifested through the descent of sages and buddhas from the realms of Emptiness, the Limitless, and the Pure Land into Chongxin. This marks an eternal milestone, affirming the karmic attainment of Chongxin's principal leaders in their past lives.
It can be verified that the revelations of the timeless scripture are in alignment with the technological civilization of the 21st century in the present era. This verification and dissemination serve precisely to affirm the "Buddha of Glazed Radiance of the Rational Heart" and the "Celestial Venerable of Radiant Rational Heart." They bear witness that the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Burning Lamp is both a peer and an old friend, as well as an old friend of the Void Supreme Being.
Moreover, the conditions and karmic connections between the Void Supreme Being and the Mysterious Supreme Being are identical. This particular karmic connection regarding Chongxin was revealed in the Celestial Book only after eight years. However, what can be verified lies precisely in the karmic connections of Heaven, Haotian, the Wuji, and the Void, which transform the "Consciousness-Only Theory" into "Consciousness-Only Concepts," thereby fostering "Consciousness-Only Conduct."
The Southern Heaven Recommends the Master of the Pen to Record Causes and Conditions
This also involves a necessary, prolonged period of trial and observation for a holy Buddha after descending to the mortal realm, to examine how a leader conducts themselves: in attitude, thought, and the application of wisdom. It is precisely under such conditions that sentient beings and original spirits are granted the opportunity to ascend, transcend, and ultimately return to perfection.
It is precisely through the descent of divine will from Heaven, coupled with the strong recommendation of the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, that this cosmic cycle has been granted such an opportunity. Regarding the principle of "proclaiming the sacred teachings throughout the world and elucidating the profound mysteries to deliver all beings," if one can clearly understand its origins and development, naturally no doubts will arise. Moreover, this is a destiny that all religious sects and lineages have found difficult to attain.
He has come to fulfill himself and all sentient beings, making him worthy of emulation. Among all religious leaders, he is one of the least authoritative in demeanor. This has been proven true over eight years of time, and even through thirty years of trials and tribulations, which ultimately brought about the predestined affinity of Chongxin. It is through the verification of future technological civilization that this truth is clearly and unequivocally revealed.
The fifth phase of the sacred mission is to disseminate teachings downward, enabling sentient beings and primordial spirits to grow, and providing them with abundant resources for growth and learning. For the present achievements of the vast celestial realms, this mission is all-encompassing and leaves no detail unattended. In this cosmic cycle, it further aims to elevate and transcend all sentient beings across the great cosmos.
The Sublime Deeds of the Honored Heart and Great Path
Moreover, this is one who once truly held an important sacred duty in the realms of the Void, the Boundless, and the Heavenly Cosmos, and who has descended to the mortal world with a mission of the Dao. That is to say, following this karmic connection, they have taken residence at the Yichong Xintang to mutually protect and complete all endeavors, as well as to oversee the karmic ties of education and culture.
Therefore, the ability to achieve perfection lies in providing a relatively complete verification and accomplishment for the great undertaking of the ages. There is no need to ask what the results will be; it is simply a cause and condition for effortless attainment. Moreover, it serves as an opportunity for an old friend, who descends to guide the human world, to observe, supervise, and evaluate those in charge, fostering growth in mindset, actions, responses, and wisdom.
It is precisely by using the human path to validate the mundane world that, through all of Chongxin's verification of this extraordinary cause and condition, the great lineage of the Dao is established for guiding sentient beings with virtuous affinities in the future, enabling their return and accomplishment. This is a remarkably advanced and extraordinary grand lineage. Thus, while many may not believe it at present, in the near future, all of Chongxin's actions will become clear.
To manifest the extraordinary affinities within the human realm and to widely propagate them, it is thus specifically required that at the inception of the fifth phase, no compromises shall be made. This pertains to the expansion of all future growth affinities, as well as how to achieve them through human causes and conditions, further verified by the manifestations of immortals and Buddhas.
An unprecedented masterpiece from ancient times,  
Void and infinity forge virtue into being.
The Tathagata of the Illuminated Heart of Principle  
Descends to the Reverent Heart to cultivate sainthood.
The Great Way exalts the heart, its virtue boundless;  
Exalting the heart in the Great Way unfolds the path of destiny.
The grace of the heavens nurtures all beings between heaven and earth,  
Manifesting the achievement of a complete and perfect return.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits; it is a truthful manifestation within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," documenting the past karmic connections of a presiding figure under the growth of all affinities within Chongxin. Furthermore, it offers mutual verification for the myriad sentient beings in the world of emotions, enabling them to attain Buddhahood in this very lifetime: "Awakening the mind and seeing one’s true nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit of wisdom"!
Ignite the heart's lamp to illuminate the cosmos;  
A bright future depends on oneself.
To come as such and go as such is to be a Buddha—returning to the realm of the formless, boundless void.
## Wuji Wenchang Dijun
Limitless, truly boundless is the Wuji;  
Vast grace, the vast grace nurtures all living beings.
The honored king ascends the platform to meet the virtuous;  
The great way reveres the heart, and virtue pervades all opportunities.
Good evening to all Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Void Spiritual Communication from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the twenty-sixth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This work faithfully transmits the causes and conditions of the timeless pivotal revelation into the celestial scriptures. How then should all leaders of the various ancestral lineages reflect upon this?
After thirty years of supervision, assessment, and all manner of trials, hardships, and setbacks, it has been verified whether a leader would exhibit arrogance, self-exaltation, pride, haughtiness, or rebellious defiance. Throughout these three decades of testing, each instance has passed under the watchful eye of Heaven, each verification has been granted with every cause and effect, and every merit and outcome.
Moreover, the extraordinary mission and path require that the conditions of a leader be disseminated and refined, while also validating numerous trials and tribulations as opportunities for growth and learning. Only through this process can the great virtues and graces of Heaven be truly imparted to a major lineage that genuinely holds the true mandate and sacred duties. Everyone, reflect carefully: it is indeed a cause for celebration, but do not rejoice too soon!
The mission on the future path remains distant, and moreover, there are many uncertain conditions. It is essential to increase wisdom and elevate transcendence, but that is not all. Should any difficulties arise, they must be overcome through human effort, and mutual fulfillment must also be achieved through human endeavor. Only then can both yin and yang benefit, and the protection of immortals and buddhas will never be withheld. The future will then illuminate all!
Disciples: As the immortals and Buddhas have foretold, this year is far from auspicious. Natural disasters and human calamities are drawing near, and the retribution from karmic creditors is accelerating. All students must exercise greater caution, is that clear? The warnings of the immortals and Buddhas have already been confirmed in many instances. It is essential to engage in repentance, practice generosity, and dedicate merits—this is the true path. Thus, the protection of the immortals and Buddhas is assured!
##Void Rainbow Immortal Maiden
The void, boundless and infinite, permeates the cosmos;  
The radiant spirit descends to aid and fulfill all endeavors.
The Immortal Maiden composes the Chongxin Volume,  
The Great Way of Chongxin is practiced in truth.
The Sacred Mission of the Supreme Path of the Heart
The Great Dao Reveres the Heart – In viewing all works through the holistic process, all deities of the sentient world are integrated into the administrative hub of Haotian. Regardless of which deity within the Earth's star system, all must fall under the jurisdiction of Haotian's administration. This serves as the overarching basis for supervising and assessing the balance of ascension and descent.
Moreover, when beings in the human realm come to plead, it is often a situation where sentient beings are left with no other choice, compelling a deity, immortal, or Buddha—who could otherwise transcend and ascend—to act. Under the scrutiny of boundless compassion, they are unable to fulfill matters strictly according to the cycle of cause and effect. Instead, they encounter an obstacle that hinders their own opportunity for upward transcendence. Truly, it is a situation of helplessness!
The differences in the levels of elevation correspond to variations in educational conditions and teachings, and even more so in the attainment of fruition stages. This involves elevating all points of transcendence for sentient beings in the human realm, as well as for deities, immortals, and Buddhas. Such elevation can be achieved through merits accumulated over five hundred or a thousand years, serving as a vigilant reminder to reach accomplishment and transcendence.
The various practices within the Chongxin lineage differ in their approaches.
In guiding and aiding the sentient beings and primordial spirits, one must never violate the cycle of cause and effect, while also ensuring that all three parties achieve fulfillment. To manifest the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Path, and to attain genuine righteous thinking and accomplishment, it is essential to invoke the "Theory of Consciousness-Only," coupled with the mindset of "Consciousness-Only." Only then can actions aligned with the "Conduct of Consciousness-Only" be undertaken to facilitate elevation.
For all sentient beings and primordial spirits, originally destined to enter the "Maitreya Pure Land" in the future world, it is possible to genuinely attain the profound practice of the "Inner Realm (Sanctum) of Maitreya." This is precisely the great compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven, allowing one to achieve learning and accomplishment in the present moment, without having to enter the Inner Sanctum of Maitreya in the future for further learning and growth.
Under such conditions, if one can genuinely "illuminate the mind and perceive one's true nature, attain enlightenment and realize the fruit" in the present moment, it is possible to achieve the stage of Buddhahood within a single lifetime. This is the function derived from such verification. However, it is often overlooked that all sentient beings in the realm of existence, including sentient deities, immortals, and Buddhas, must undergo a transformation of thought to grow.
All superior conditions for transcendence and elevation.
Furthermore, in the pursuit of one's own learning and growth, it is only through benefiting oneself that one can attain the insights necessary for future development. This lies within the function of the "Consciousness-Only theory." If one fails to comprehend the profound merits of the "Consciousness-Only truth," they will fundamentally remain unaware. How, then, can they engage in the profound practice within the "Inner Realm of Maitreya" in the future?
Sentient beings often lament in the present moment: "The Dadao series is becoming increasingly difficult to comprehend, and we cannot deeply grasp all its underlying meanings. How can this be?" It is essential to apply genuine and earnest effort. To achieve a thorough understanding and profound realization of the entire Dadao series, relying solely on past modes of thinking and preconceived notions will make it exceedingly difficult to truly appreciate its essence.
In truth, the Celestial Texts of the Dadao series address differences in one's own state and level through various approaches: teachings for the lower vehicle, teachings for the middle vehicle, teachings for the upper vehicle, and even teachings for the great vehicle! The mysteries within, though each individual comprehends and gains according to their own understanding, give rise to diverse states and levels. Each person’s realization and experience are, moreover, distinctly unique.
The extraordinary affinity of the reverent heart
Of course! Each person's comprehension and perception is unique. The primary author of the entire "Dadao Series" is an immortal Buddha who once truly resided in the Void and the Wuji Heavenly Realm, and descended into the human world to guide and compose the only "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" for the enlightenment of all humanity.
This is the descent of the Virtuous Grace of the Venerable Celestial Lord of the Luminous Heart of the Void and Limitless Principle, who came to the Southern Continent of Jambudvīpa to elevate all sentient beings. He facilitated the ascension and transcendence of those deities, immortals, and buddhas who had once assisted the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dipaṃkara in guiding beings during the Red Yang Era. In the first celestial cycle of sacred duties, they mutually supported one another.
There was once a being who, within the principles of Buddhism, benefited immeasurably from the descent of "Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Fo." This descent bestowed the essential essence of the entire Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra as a grace upon the sentient beings of the present generation, offering genuine practitioners the opportunity to grow truthfully, ascend, and transcend.
This condition can truly bring endless benefits. It is not merely about general growth and improvement, but also about reaching a level where profound realms and higher spiritual attainments can be taught through the right causes and conditions. Moreover, it is precisely aligned with all the verifications of the Dadao series, leading to "illuminating the mind, realizing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition"—this is exactly what it means!
Benefiting from the Dadao Series Celestial Books
How does everyone view this matter? There was once a descent into the mortal world, during the first Red Yang period, to guide and widely deliver two hundred million Buddha's disciples, elevating deities, immortals, and Buddhas, enabling them to return to the Haotian world and achieve complete transcendence! This also involved the sacred task of the "Investiture of the Gods" during the Zhou dynasty, which accomplished all the internal deeds.
It is precisely because of its selflessness and impartiality that the Da Dao series is transmitted with utmost fidelity. Moreover, it conveys the holistic understanding of "illuminating the mind, perceiving the true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit" through direct personal insight, all of which is infused into the celestial texts. At this moment, everyone can carefully contemplate how the speed of writing these celestial texts has gradually approached the pace of ordinary spoken language in their transmission.
There is yet another: writing with a speed as swift as flight, and also possessing genuine contemplation, capable of producing nearly eighty words in about a minute. This is indeed the foremost work in the world—can it allow room for thought? No! It is simply a true and direct personal realization, transcending and elevating all past contemplations.
The great Dao bestows its grace upon all sentient beings.
That is to say: how should one comprehend the right path, right principles, right mind, right thoughts, right equality, right enlightenment, right wisdom, right conduct, right faith, and right contemplation? Reflect upon it carefully yourself! Moreover, for all sentient beings, as the driving force for transcendence and elevation, how can one truly achieve a clear understanding of one’s own inner nature?
Only by perceiving the true functions of one's original mind and inherent nature can one immediately comprehend all causes and consequences. This leads to a transformative realization that benefits both oneself and all living beings, serving as a virtuous influence that permeates all understanding. This marks a favorable beginning. If one genuinely experiences and gains from this realization, it is what is called "illuminating the mind, perceiving the nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit."
In the very authentic dissemination of firsthand information, it is precisely by nurturing everyone's magnetic and energetic fields that we impart a truly harmonious and integrated energy. This holistic effect on the Great Dao is, in essence, the embodiment of a "childlike heart"! By understanding and unifying through verification in the process of dissemination, we can genuinely bring endless benefits for the future.
The Fundamental Cause and Condition of the Noble Heart and the Great Way
It is precisely the pure heart of a newborn that gives of itself to bring benefit and fulfillment, and is also the creative force that initiates the flourishing of life throughout the universe. This creativity is directed toward the cosmos, the void, and the infinite. Not only can it facilitate the growth and learning of all sentient beings, enabling them to return and transcend in the future, but it is also the very nature of reality itself!
It is precisely due to the extraordinary affinity of this final and ultimate act that it is so! Otherwise, why would Heaven desire to accomplish and bestow it in this manner? Moreover, for the future well-being of all sentient beings, it will be continuously and endlessly bestowed from above. It can be clearly understood from the perspective of the Confucian sacred teachings: this is indeed the foremost principle under heaven, and it is precisely so!
Thus, the promotion of the True Buddha Heart School: the School of the Principle Brush, by its founder, is not without reason. It is precisely after more than thirty years of rigorous assessment that the overall evaluation of his achievements has been rated as excellent! Moreover, such qualifications are exceedingly rare. In this way, within the Confucian Sacred Teaching, he is indeed the first to have attained "illuminating the mind and perceiving one's true nature, awakening to enlightenment and realizing the fruit of practice"!
The Sublime Path of the Heart Elevates and Transcends
It is precisely due to these causal conditions that the higher-level immortals and buddhas from the celestial realms descend to participate in the compilation, without encountering many difficulties in adaptation. Moreover, there is a harmonizing function of remarkably agile thought, which involves constructing the verification of future technological civilization within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
Furthermore, the true nature of the teachings disseminated to sentient beings is not an ordinary condition or cause that can be easily attained. It is essential to understand that for all beings, it is exceedingly rare to encounter such a profound and opportune revelation, even across countless lifetimes. This is indeed something to be celebrated! It provides everyone with a space for contemplation, enabling growth, elevation, and transcendence.
It is precisely by applying advanced technology to the divine scriptures that we encounter the principle of "mysteries within mysteries, truths within truths, and celestial secrets within celestial secrets." This is also the reason behind the saying: "The profound wonders arise from nothingness, descending to transform the myriad living beings." How can one comprehend all the intricacies within? It is essential to experience it personally!
The universe is vast and boundless as the Great Ultimate;  
Realizing the essence and clarifying the mind brings forth true intent.
Realizing the true nature of the self relies on oneself; attaining enlightenment and bearing fruit is a matter of the present moment.
The Great Dao reveres the heart in its creation,  
Revering the heart, the Great Dao is constructed as it truly is.
All sentient beings transcend their original spirits,  
Returning to ride beyond to the Lotus Land.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; it is truly a remarkable opportunity for everyone to gain genuine insight and for one's own growth and learning within the path of Chongxin. As the ancients said: "With fate, one may coincidentally encounter the Buddha's manifestation; without fate, it is difficult to meet the era of the great path." The creation of this opportunity lies in how one seizes it to benefit oneself!

The Twenty-Seventh Return of the Great Dao Honoring the Heart  
The Great Dao of Honoring the Heart Returns to Truth
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Colors from our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." She brings the teachings of the Revered Heart Great Tao into this celestial book with utmost authenticity, akin to everyday conversation, articulating with such swiftness to analyze and ensure all may benefit.
This kind of extraordinary cause and condition, as everyone can clearly understand, does not require deliberate contemplation. It can genuinely serve as a foundation to verify all conditions, which is to nurture the "evolution of heaven and earth" into growth, bestowing upon sentient human beings the great virtue and grace for elevation. It is precisely through cultivating such extraordinary cause and condition into maturity. I wonder what perspectives the students of the Chongxin lineage may hold on this?
Excellent! The lineage of the Chongxin Sect is gradually entering the fifth phase of propagation. It is essential to make thorough preparations as early as possible to ensure its proper realization. This requires the collective effort of all members, uniting to form a powerful force for dissemination. Such a rare and auspicious condition of causes and circumstances represents the return of all that is virtuous, growing, elevating, and transcending. The celestial beings and enlightened teachers will undoubtedly lend their support. Do you understand?
##The Immortal Maiden of Colored Clouds in the Void
Through the void and boundless, piercing the mortal dust,  
Bright blossoms, fair and charming, laugh with artless mirth.
The Immortal Maiden descends, bestowing reverence upon the heart;  
Technology and civilization harbor profound affection.
All future technological civilizations of humanity
The Noble Path of the Heart Reveals: Sentient beings and primordial spirits are elevated and transcended, forming a unified body that nurtures and uplifts all living primordial spirits. Through such conditions of karma, a greater elevation and integration can be achieved. By the grace of great virtue, even greater fulfillment is attained, bestowing immense blessings and virtuous rewards upon all sentient beings across the vast world.
It is precisely due to this blessing and karmic affinity among humanity that future technology can be more authentically brought down to the mortal world. This serves as a shelter for all beings within the vast universe. In the current era of technological civilization, it can provide all living beings with the means to sustain life, integrating all aspects of existence. Moreover, in all actions and endeavors, it will never stray from the protection of heaven and earth.
There exists a tripartite sacred mirror akin to "Heaven, Earth, and Humanity," which functions like an integrated computer system recorded in an IC microchip. It can be said that this serves to harmonize the present global village. If we fail to skillfully apply the fusion of electronic communication and computer intelligence, it may become difficult to integrate with the modern way of life in our current era.
The Necessity of Advancing Technology
Within the sacred mirror of the heavens and the earth, a portion of scientific and technological civilization was transmitted down to the Earth’s planetary system—into computers. This was achieved by borrowing high-tech talents from other star systems, serving as a form of "borrowing expertise." It involved descending the primordial spirits who had once lived in the Earth’s planetary system during the first to second cosmic cycles into the earthly realm to engage in invention and creation.
This represents yet another manifestation of a highly advanced technological civilization across time and space. It becomes clear why, over the past nearly ten thousand years—especially in the last three millennia—humanity has yet to break through the barriers and achieve further development in technological civilization. This can be attributed to the distinct cycles of different eras.
This causal condition, through the great virtue and grace of the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, bears the responsibility of educating and enlightening all sentient beings in the human realm regarding their karmic obstacles and retributions. This is precisely why the Supreme Jade Emperor, the Mysterious and Exalted Sovereign on High, was chosen to assume the sacred duties of the eighteenth generation Mysterious Firmament Martial and Philosophical Celestial Emperor. All his holy responsibilities are thus fulfilled!
It is to transfer all the merits and virtues accumulated over countless lifetimes to all sentient beings in the earthly realm, providing humanity’s primordial spirits with the means to bear and dissolve the karmic obstacles and afflictions that entangle them. Originally destined to descend into chaos, these burdens can now be shouldered and resolved through the high-level attainment of the Universal Illumination Prime Minister, the Ancient Buddha of Heaven’s Canopy, who takes upon himself all the karmic calamities and disasters of sentient primordial spirits to eliminate them.
The Council of Heaven convenes to alter the calamities upon Earth.
It can be said: The honor of being appointed to the sacred position of the Eighteenth Generation Xuanqiong Wuzhe Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Lord, Xuanling Supreme God, is precisely produced in this manner. Through the collective deliberation of all the heavenly saints, immortals, and buddhas—over thirty venerable beings in total—including many renowned deities and buddhas, all participated in this grand and virtuous assembly of the Vast Heaven.
To assist the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Heavenly Lord of Mysterious Radiance, in achieving merit and effecting change, to bear and delay the karmic obstacles and entanglements of all sentient beings, and to take upon oneself the responsibility of revitalizing Confucian teachings through education and culture, it was through the powerful recommendation of Guan Ping, the Holy Emperor of Literary Balance and Ruler of the Southern Heaven, that the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall" was granted its role and purpose a century ago due to karmic conditions.
With such causes and conditions established within this framework, the Ancient Buddha of Dipankara, together with the Void Heaven Realm, invited the Void Supreme Being to reside here due to these causes and conditions. Thus, a being who once existed in the Void and the Wuji Heaven Realm—the Venerable Lixin Guangming of the Void—was jointly praised and strongly supported in all the great sacred duties of this cosmic era.
It was precisely during the first Qingyang period that the "Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha," who had once assisted Namo Randeng Ancient Buddha in guiding two hundred million disciples of the Buddha back to their origins and aided all immortals and buddhas, descended to Jambudvipa to establish the true teachings and karmic connections. This makes it clear: it was indeed a descent into the mortal world!
Transcendence through Technological Advancement
However, in all aspects—state of mind, responses, actions, and wisdom—could they become obscured by the confusion of entering the womb and further deluded by the mundane world? Therefore, the Heavens test their foundation; throughout the trials of the past thirty years, each time they have consistently passed the scrutiny and supervision of the Heavens, demonstrating their state of mind, responses, wisdom, and actions.
These conditions are truly commendable and represent an excellent and fitting response! It was over thirty years ago, under the new law ordained by Heaven, that the sages of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism gathered before the Curtain of the Limitless Celestial Mother to deliberate. For all sacred duties of this cosmic cycle, it was decided that the responsibility would be shouldered by the Buddha, with the Confucian and Daoist sages assisting the Buddha in matters of educational and cultural instruction.
Through the inclusion of the two sages of Islam and Christianity, they too have joined in the collective deliberations and responses, without distinction: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam—all of Earth's religions are encompassed within. Everyone can clearly understand why, at this very moment in the current cosmic cycle, there exists such a divine opportunity and favorable condition to establish an educational and cultural curriculum. It is precisely for this reason that it has been formed!
In the present era, Buddhism has long established many formal universities. Similarly, Christianity has also founded numerous religious universities that spread its teachings worldwide, and these are recognized globally as religious institutions. Islam, too, has many international religious universities. However, for Daoism and Confucianism, such religious universities are notably lacking.
Civilization and Technology Selection Conference
This is yet another significant shortcoming. It is precisely because all immortals and Buddhas have jointly agreed on the necessity of establishing a formal university for the peaceful coexistence of the five religions, aimed at elevating the spiritual essence of sentient beings through educational and cultural curricula. For this very reason, this layer of causal connection has emerged, compelling the five religions to coexist in harmony.
Regarding the ancient Buddha of the Heavenly Canopy, the Sage of Literary Balance and Martial Sanctity, who once served as the Prime Minister of Universal Enlightenment, and all the immortals and Buddhas who were responsible for transferring the merits and fruits of sentient beings in the past, it was jointly agreed that there should be one who truly comprehends the Buddhist "concept of consciousness-only and the practice of consciousness-only," to disseminate all the preparatory teachings required for entering the inner court of Maitreya's Pure Land in the future.
First, integrating it into the contemporary era makes it clear: In reverently petitioning the Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji—known in the Yiguan Dao tradition as the Wuji Old Mother, the Illustrious God—for a sacred decree, the two venerable sages, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, respectfully addressed the Supreme Celestial Mother. This decree was then bestowed upon the Yichong Xintang in Taoyuan, Taiwan, to guide the authorship of the celestial texts of the Great Dao series.
The heavens select and guide talented individuals.
Just earlier, during the training of the "Heavenly Voice Transmitter" qualifications, it was discovered that the mission endowed upon one particular "Heavenly Voice Transmitter" aligned precisely with this purpose. Through the Taoyuan Xing Shan Tang, he was granted the pen name "Tian Bi Sheng" (Heavenly Brush Scholar), which led to the creation of the first volume of the celestial book. This work, titled "The Heart Lamp of the Great Dao," serves as the foundational framework for all subsequent teachings.
After more than a year, the second volume, "The Heavenly Virtue of the Great Dao," was completed. At the very moment when the decree for the third volume was received, due to the negligence of the person in charge, the heavenly mandate was returned to the heavens. This period of over a year further facilitated the establishment of the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall," which would serve as the foundation for all future educational and cultural courses.
Originally, the hall should have been opened in the Year of Jiashen to propagate the teachings. However, because the Sacred Pen Yang Sheng entered Buddhism to continue its lineage, this once again delayed the divine mission of heavenly secrets. Consequently, the Confucian Sacred School, which was originally a highly "high-class" lineage, suddenly turned into "no-class," leaving the celestial immortals and Buddhas feeling quite helpless!
All advancements of technological civilization
Under such conditions, one would be too ashamed to face the Infinite Imperial Mother and make a report. It would cause all the sacred duties of the Confucian school to be suddenly spurned by sentient beings. This serves as yet another sharp warning within the practice of the Confucian tradition. Gradually, it becomes clear that such demands amount to a delay in fulfilling the original mission entrusted by Heaven.
Although the establishment of the Chongxin Hall was advanced, and the opportunity to observe all students over eight years was provided to examine their clarity of mind, responsiveness, actions, and wisdom, various karmic conditions differed, giving rise to many obstacles. Throughout these eight years, batches of students were screened, one after another.
What remains is truly worthy of profound appreciation. Yet among all students, there is still a considerable lack of insight into "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit." Thus, the immortal and buddha teachers have repeatedly urged the Patriarch of the Li Pen to impart all his experiential insights to every student within this lineage, so that they may achieve attainment in this very lifetime.
The Heart-to-Heart Dharma Gate of Sages and Buddhas for Honoring the Mind
Such conditions also test whether one truly has the willingness to elevate oneself or merely holds a nominal title as a student of the Chongxin lineage. In relation to the "Mind-Seal Dharma Gate" imparted by the immortals and buddhas, some students are able to mutually seal their minds, some have a slight sense of this sealing, while others feel no resonance at all.
However, regarding the masters themselves, because they had already attained enlightenment as immortals, Buddhas, or celestial venerables in earlier times, their comprehension is exceptionally keen. This is due to their innate clarity, which remains unclouded, and their continuous efforts in the present moment to absorb the insights constructed by "consciousness-only thinking." This enables them to thoroughly penetrate the limitations and obstacles of the current era's technological civilization.
Regarding the Dadao Tian Shu series, it is conveyed with considerable accuracy from the future technological civilization, while also clearly embodying and verifying all origins and developments of the primordial essence that has long been contained within the cosmic star systems. Such conditions are exceptionally rare, as the technological civilization elevates one who has previously experienced and verified the primordial essence within the cosmic star systems.
All actions must align with the times.
To the myriad sentient beings, the act of enhancing and enriching life is precisely the essence of living. Why do the immortals and buddhas persistently emphasize that such sacred duties should not rely on religious labels for promotion, but rather be managed with corporate principles? This approach aligns with the advancement of future technological civilization, creating a complementary relationship between "enterprise and religion."
Otherwise, if one cannot elevate the mutual balance between "religion and worldly endeavors," how can it be promoted? This is not merely a matter of time, conditions, and environmental factors alone; it also requires human effort to facilitate it, and moreover, the divine must integrate into the guiding role of the current situation. Everyone may carefully reflect on this—the words of the immortals and Buddhas are not false.
Regarding the future, one can transcend and roam freely through the cosmos, the void, and the boundless celestial realms—yet can such a goal truly be attained? It is precisely through one’s own efforts that one reaps the harvest. The heavens never force sentient beings into such ascension and return; this transcendence is achieved by pursuing one’s own goals and fulfilling one’s mission through diligent effort.
The world of technology gradually brightens,  
The light of civilization enriches all beings.
The Dao Series Unveils Heavenly Secrets,
Profound Mysteries and Sublime Truths Are Verified as Real.
The brush of reason writes the primordial scriptures,  
The void of infinity proclaims the cosmos.
Clear and penetrating without words,  
At the right moment, all will flow unimpeded.
This verse is shared among all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement. For the future technological civilization, it can indeed verify the descent of numerous heavenly mysteries and virtuous blessings, truly allowing oneself to benefit endlessly. If one cannot transcend in this lifetime, there will still be a favorable living space in the next life—this is the path one has chosen.
It also holds the potential for the wholesome growth of human existence. In truth, the key lies in the present moment: if we aspire to genuinely understand and benefit from future technologies, we can indeed look forward with anticipation. This sense of benefiting and growing is already beginning to take shape, and it will soon be felt.
## The Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven of the Wuji
The City God, in earnest awe, embodies the heart of heaven;  
The Imperial Lord ascends the platform to welcome him together.
The Wuji fruit position has long since ascended,  
Confirmed in heavenly duty to guide and enlighten.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Blossoms from our ancestral lineage descends to compose the twenty-eighth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao"—Technological Civilization. This chapter elucidates the foundational concepts previously established for technological civilization, which in the future will manifest through numerous prologues regarding technological advancement.
This is not merely a prophecy, but rather an advance exposition, allowing everyone to establish a preconceived framework. It will surely clarify that the great lineage of the Dao, entrusted by Heaven, differs from ordinary religions in its duties, sacred tasks, and mission. It truly verifies all that is demonstrated in advance, first providing everyone with a conceptual understanding.
In the future era, the Chongxin Dao lineage will once again be validated as it strides into the 21st century. Thus, all future religious bodies (Dao affairs bodies) and enterprises in the human world will usher in a thriving and prosperous situation. Strive on! Strive on! Reflect on how to achieve self-fulfillment and guide all beings to return and join the vital force of the Chongxin ancestral lineage!
## Immortal Maiden of the Empyrean Rosy Clouds
The void is the boundless heaven,  
A colorful crane descends to earth with a smiling face.
The twenty-ninth revelation of the Immortal Maiden descends,  
A chapter on blessings enriching all beings and the grace of virtue.
May the heavens bestow blessings upon all living beings.
Technological civilization is employed to elevate the blessings and opportunities for all sentient beings, a decree that has descended from the administrative units of the Heavenly Court to the mortal world. Through the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Three Pure Ones, all sages, immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and exalted beings have united in this cosmic era to bring about this elevation. This endeavor transcends all distinctions among religions, including Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
From the perspective of the Earth's celestial system: all are participating in the transformations and movements of this cosmic cycle, while also bestowing great virtue and sacred duties upon all living beings throughout the vast universe. In interpreting the necessary lessons and efficacies for sentient beings, it has taken over five thousand years of time and space to arrive at this opportune moment.
This is the Three Assemblies of the Longhua, which discusses the preparatory functions mentioned earlier, thereby establishing the main framework of the Three Assemblies of the Longhua. It also manifests what was revealed by the "Ancient Buddha Maitreya Who Will Descend in the Future," serving as a verification in the times to come. This is elevated and annotated through the sutras of Shakyamuni Buddha, in accordance with his words: "In the future, it will be established upon the Three Assemblies of the Longhua."
All necessities for the benefit and well-being of all sentient beings
To truly benefit the sentient primordial spirits of the present moment and facilitate their elevation, how can such genuine gains be achieved? It is essential to understand the efficacy of technological civilization as manifested in time and space. Thus, there exist technological civilizations from various extraterrestrial star systems that "borrow" talents to enter the Earth's star system, thereby transforming technological civilization.
In the next two thousand years, the Earth's star system will be capable of relocating to other star systems or transforming other systems, and the technological civilization that emerges will serve as true verification of this descent. If the Heavens intend to advance this realization to the 21st century, they will inevitably employ "virtual reality" as a means within the current spatiotemporal conditions.
Virtual Reality: At present, some of the technological civilizations have already "borrowed" advancements from extraterrestrial sources for demonstration, aiming to elevate the vast universe to a higher level. Moreover, within the next two decades, the technological civilization will first be validated through today's means of transportation—vehicles that not only travel on land but also soar through the skies and explore the depths of the seas.
All Conditions for Benefiting Sentient Beings
This condition: the repeated and insistent demands imposed by immortals and buddhas, regarding the elements and driving forces of future high-tech civilizations, will invoke the "deep-sea water resources" for dissemination and verification. It remains to be seen how all the causes and conditions within the Chongxin lineage will unfold. For the benefit of elevating sentient beings, there will be technological refinement of "deep-sea water resources" to serve as a returning driving force.
Furthermore, in the process of enhancing deep-sea water resources, numerous bottlenecks and setbacks are bound to arise. How can such setbacks be overcome? For the Chongxin lineage, this presents a great opportunity for creation through karmic convergence. It is the will of the Heavenly Realm that Chongxin forge this connection, aiming not merely to struggle alone but to integrate and elevate the spiritual paths of all sentient beings in the future!
The aim is to bring together all religions of the Earth and its star systems, without distinction: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, as well as all emerging religions or ancient primal faiths. It is essential to break down the barriers and gaps between religions in order to truly dissolve all obstacles to the "fusion of the Great Dao," thereby establishing a complete and solid foundation.
The blessings and well-being of all living beings are bestowed by Heaven.
Furthermore, the Chongxin lineage can guide the karmic conditions of one's own career, and also achieve self-sufficiency for all students of this lineage in terms of survival and dependence. After benefiting oneself, it further brings blessings to all sentient beings, providing all guarantees for survival and dependence, and granting karmic conditions free from worries about the future.
With so many people, tasks are easier to accomplish. Moreover, the surplus generated by the religious and business entities can be used to mutually support the Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology. This mutual support also addresses the inadequacies of religions in the eyes of Heaven. Through the "Dadao Series of Celestial Books" authored by Chongxin, the vastness of the entire universe, the void, and the boundless Wuji is clearly elucidated.
Furthermore, for future sentient beings who will enter the "Inner Court of Maitreya’s Pure Land" to delve deeply into the teachings of Consciousness-Only, it is possible to cultivate such practices in the human realm beforehand to elevate themselves. Otherwise, if one merely waits for Maitreya to descend in a future kalpa, how can the original spirits of sentient beings in the present moment address and elevate the inadequacies and deficiencies in their conditions and karmic affinities?
The Fundamental Conditions for the Well-being of All Living Beings
Is it to allow sentient beings in the present to cycle through reincarnation repeatedly? Not so! Through genuine experience and understanding of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," one can achieve numerous effects and accomplishments in "illuminating the mind, realizing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and proving the fruit." Thus, this series of celestial books is far more than ordinary moral exhortations.
It is precisely because of its advanced technology and its ability to supplement the shortcomings of all administrative units under the Haotian that, through the "Great Dao Haotian" series of celestial texts, one comes to understand all the actual processes of the entire cosmic galaxy. Thus, all the past principles of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" are integrated into the Great Dao series of celestial texts.
It is precisely by employing modern methods to elucidate and document the practice of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues in the human world that one's every action becomes truthfully interconnected with the entire cosmic galaxy. This is made possible by the sublime works of the Master of the Principle Pen, which awaken the Creator of all life in the universe.
To assist the flourishing era in achieving its intended accomplishments.
Through such sincere devotion, the firsthand information obtained has arrived decades earlier than that available to others, while also verifying the achievements of technological civilization. By employing modern terminology in its application, it genuinely benefits all sentient beings. Can everyone comprehend the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven, which is truly intended for the welfare of all conscious human beings?
It was precisely a being who, during the Qingyang Era, assisted the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara—the Tathagata of Luminous Liuli and Rational Mind—in descending to establish and accomplish the revered heart. This being, endowed with the innate essence of "Celestial Sound Transmission," serves as a testament to future technology, guiding all sentient beings and primordial spirits of the present toward the true well-being and ultimate refuge of the future.
Without the establishment of Chongxin Hall, how could the future technological civilization be manifested! Step by step, each footprint is solid, each imprint is steadfast. For the future of all primordial spirits, all blessings are elevated, serving as a testament to the virtuous grace of the Dadao series. To have such a profound affinity with Chongxin is precisely what allows for a clear verification of the teachings imparted.
The foundation of virtue lies in bestowing blessings upon the people.
Bestowed upon the future, safeguarding heaven and earth, the cosmos, and the interplay of yin and yang to create, then the entire universe, the void, and the boundless celestial realms will attain carefree ease. Yet, why can sentient spirits and deities arrive in such freedom, but it remains unknown whether they can depart with the same ease? Even the Tathāgata Buddha—can he be known as the "Tathāgata" who comes, yet uncertain whether he may be called the "Tathāgata" who goes? Unclear! And profoundly difficult to comprehend.
Sentient beings and primordial spirits are all troubled within such circumstances, and at the very moment of facing these obstacles, only a handful can break free. Moreover, many are deluded and hindered by the dazzling material world, which prevents them from truly enjoying the grace of Heaven and the blessings of the Great Dao, thereby missing the opportunity for elevation. Consequently, they are unable to return to the cosmic realm, the void, or the boundless celestial heavens.
All sentient beings and primordial spirits believe that this is a distant goal and karmic connection, impossible to achieve or realize in the present moment. Thus, they consider the Maitreya Pure Land as something already within the present, yet still beyond reach, viewing such karmic connections merely as provisional measures.
However, it is little known that this is the way of Heaven towards all sentient beings and original spirits, who share a true connection with their own existence. In the real world, there are many interconnected phenomena. If one wishes to transcend the present moment, especially in modern times, and cannot grasp the causes and conditions that arise from existence, allowing such opportunities to slip away, it is truly regrettable and leaves one with no recourse!
Technological civilization benefits all living beings,  
The existence of sentient life bears witness to this truth.
Present technology shapes the future,  
Bringing blessings to all, with heaven's favor.
The five teachings convene to deliberate on the guidance of technology; the Dragon Flower Assembly thrice convenes to forge self-renewal.
The Pure Land of Maitreya is achieved once more,  
And beings of the present ascend in abundance.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: Why is it that in this kalpa, the Chongxin Academy was established by the Imperial Decree? It is to bring the technological civilization of the future into the present. Without this kind of karmic connection, how could a more advanced technological civilization be revealed? Through this extraordinary karmic affinity, Chongxin truly benefits, bringing blessings to oneself and to all living beings.
## The Celestial Worthy of Limitless Enlightenment
Prosperous writings bring forth books,  
The cause from the Wuji is truly unique.
The virtue of the emperor is elucidated by the words of the noble man;  
The grace of heaven and earth begins with the Buddha's heart.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Colorful Crane from our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of "The Reverence of the Heart in the Great Dao," providing evidence of the blessings and virtuous grace bestowed upon all living beings.
Granting reverence and sincerity will yield numerous confirmations and manifestations in the future. The learning, growth, and experiences of trials over these eight years are precisely what will establish tangible achievements in times to come. Otherwise, how could there be any genuine benefit?
##Lord of the Southern Heaven, Sage Emperor Wén Héng
The vastness of the ethereal heavens is beyond compare,  
While the rainbow across the sky bestows virtue and grace.
The Immortal Maiden descends to compose thirty chapters,  
A covenant for all beings through advanced technology.
Human technology is gradually advancing towards higher levels of enjoyment.
Observing future technology for the benefit of all beings involves the application of telecommunication and information enhancement, specifically created for high-tech civilizations. In terms of survival-oriented actions, it provides a clear understanding of future technological civilization for advancement, thereby assisting all forms of existence in their authentic development. It is precisely through such advanced technology that humanity stands to benefit.
It refers to borrowing a portion of the advanced technology from other planets and, in the future, applying it within the Earth's star system. This is understandable, as such advanced technology will shape the direction of future life and dictate the foundations of future survival. The key lies in how to steer this advanced technology toward a brighter future—this is the true essence of the matter.
Therefore, the existence of all things finds its foundation in interdependence. Viewing from the perspective of the Earth and its star system, humanity stands as the most intelligent among all beings—the higher sentient species. It can be said that the survival of such advanced species relies on mutual nourishment, where all individuals integrate and unite, forming an integral part of the entire Earth and its star system.
Advanced technology benefits all humanity.
To foster boundless benefits for sentient beings, it is clear that among advanced beings, systematically planning the creation and invention of future technological civilization serves as a continuous driving force. This benefits all living beings in the sentient world and elevates their quality of life to a higher level of enjoyment.
Through continuous creation and invention, coupled with ongoing research and improvement, it will inevitably drive the advancement of future technological civilization. This will bring benefits to all sentient beings in the human world, transforming and evolving all aspects of human existence. It will serve the welfare of future generations, precisely by harnessing scientific civilization for creation.
Moreover, with today's world's "biochemical technology," "nanotechnology," "micro-nanotechnology," "cellular technology," "micro-cellular technology," "integrated technology," "micro-integrated technology," and dozens of other advanced technologies, the entire Earth galaxy is advancing toward becoming a developed planet.
This is to create all future living orientations for comfort and convenience. You may understand that as the Master of the Reason Pen often says, in the coming nearly 30 years, all vehicles will not only travel on the ground but also operate in high-altitude and maritime environments, thereby fostering extensive advancements in science and technology.
Benefits of Advancement in Higher Civilizations
Facilitating a high-speed intergalactic transit device enables the integration of diverse resources. It becomes evident in the current era that elements such as zinc and titanium, along with other material resources, are finite. If these can be applied to high technology, combining zinc and titanium with deep-sea elements may achieve elements beyond Co120.
To create a "relocation and transformation elsewhere" or "relocating elsewhere for transformation," such a technological element inevitably faces the risk of gaps or inadequacies. All achievements of the Co120 technological element must, when applied to advanced technologies, be capable of reaching: biotechnology, nanotechnology, micro-nanotechnology, cellular technology, micro-cellular technology...
Regarding the various technological elements of the future, there exists immense high-tech energy capable of elevating the Earth's planetary system to a greater level. At this point, it becomes easy to transcend the Earth's planetary system, achieving a state of carefree freedom where coming and going are both effortless. Thus, it becomes clear: whether relocating elsewhere or transforming other places, it is all inevitably evident at a glance!
For future generations, all living beings must understand that the orientation of survival should rely on this: within the creation of a compassionate human world and universe through technological civilization, we must benefit from it. It should not merely apply technology to the cruel and merciless slaughter of sentient beings. This is the condition and standard that a higher technological civilization ought to demonstrate!
Technology Shapes the Future of Humanity
This, in turn, serves as a significant validation spanning nearly a thousand years into the future. Through technological civilization, it can achieve a protective role for all sentient beings and the myriad living creatures on Earth regarding their living space, rather than a destructive one. This is not the fundamental principle of the divine.
It can be understood that within this cosmic cycle, the Earth and its star system rely precisely on the great virtue and grace of the Celestial Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven as their foundation. It is under such conditions, and in response to the aspirations of the Mystical Spirit Jade Emperor, that future technology can serve as a means to elevate, develop, and create great virtue and grace for the Earth and its star system, while also providing righteous guidance—this is the true essence of the matter.
What is brought into the human world is precisely the elevation of sentient beings in terms of well-being, rather than addressing the deficiencies of the "spirit." It is essential to understand that in the future, the sentient beings of the human world will encounter many bottlenecks and obstacles. There must be a leader of the nation who relies on the test of wisdom to determine the distinctions between fortune and misfortune.
The planetary star system is yet another collective that, within the joint world nations conference, can inevitably interconnect, dissolving bottlenecks and difficulties. This, in turn, enables the world nations to mutually assist one another, applying: nanotechnology, micro-nanotechnology, biochemical technology, and physicochemical technology—all forms of technology to achieve advancement.
Technological civilization leads to a life of goodness.
Furthermore, many future technological energies, through all research, inventions, and creative realizations, provide the conditions for sentient beings in the vast world of living beings to attain and enjoy benefits for humanity. This demonstrates the role of technological civilization, which is not limited to this alone. Many are the future concepts and names that will be invoked to elevate technology.
Application as follows: Nanotechnology, micro-nanotechnology, biochemistry, physical biochemistry, cells, micro-cells... All these combined advanced technologies will be invested in the necessities for future survival. There will be a future deep-sea micro-nano cell, created through Co120 enhancement, which will provide the driving force for all elements.
All dynamic creation will no longer rely solely on black resources—crude oil—to pollute the Earth and its galaxy. Instead, it will give rise to many high-level, integrated technologies of civilization, which will become the primary driving force of future science. This is what will truly benefit all sentient beings, and it is something we can look forward to with anticipation.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect is precisely dedicated to participating in and supporting this cosmic epoch, serving as the driving force behind the advancement of technological civilization. This will lead to the establishment of the Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology in the future—far more than just a slogan. Moreover, it will connect with the entire world by integrating ninety-nine, or eighty-one, institutions of higher education. It will also unite all such universities, including those rooted in Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
Advanced Technology Transforms Power and Energy
To facilitate the creation of a future Pure Land world as our guiding principle, we must focus on humanity’s transition toward newly developed planets. This shift should no longer rely on "black resources"—such as crude oil, which pollutes both the body and the material world. By reducing the many diseases that arise from such pollution, we can genuinely secure a sustainable foundation for the survival of future generations.
The virtue manifested through technological civilization is immutable and infallible, as it involves "borrowing talents" from other star systems to descend upon Earth's galaxy, enabling the creation and application of high-tech civilization. If humanity can sustain itself without perishing for fifty years, it will undoubtedly witness the true verification of this reality!
If after passing away, it is also in regard to your immortal spirit and eternal true nature, reflecting on all the works in the present moment, would everyone think that the immortals and Buddhas are speaking in lofty abstractions again? Not so! It is precisely because there is an elevation of advanced technological civilization, which very truthfully creates endless blessings for the human world, and further fosters the growth of goodness upward.
The supreme cause that benefits all beings is guided and manifested through the advancement of technology and civilization.
Nano-Biochemical Cellular Entities  
Collectively Achieve the Plenitude of All Living Beings.
The sublime cause of the heart is incomparably great,  
Humanities and Technology University stands in reliance.
One step, one footprint,  
Eight years of laying a foundation as solid as truth.
This verse! It is mutually encouraged among all sentient beings and original spirits; it also serves as mutual verification and elevation for all the immortals, Buddhas, and students of the Chongxin lineage. Reflect deeply upon it! It is precisely by advancing the Sacred Gate of Confucianism toward greater growth and propagation that we can lay the foundation and set the goal for verifying the profound grace bestowed by the Great Heavenly Lord of Haotian, the Mysterious and Exalted Emperor on High.
##Wuji Three Passes Sacred Emperor
A rare opportunity arises to impart these teachings, as the Lord of Fate ascends the platform to deliver his words.
The Rainbow Immortal Maiden descends from the void,  
Bringing advanced technology and compassionate wisdom.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Rainbow from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the thirtieth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This work on advanced technological civilization is being revealed through the Revered Heart ancestral lineage, signifying that the path toward future technology is taken step by step, with each footprint firmly planted and taking root.
If one can personally come to experience it, participating on-site in the writing of these works allows one to comprehend, through firsthand materials, the revelation of heavenly secrets and the great virtues bestowed. This differs from the understanding gained when the entire celestial book is completed and can be studied in detail. In the firsthand materials, the aura and magnetic field carry the empowering force of the immortals and buddhas.
Furthermore, it has facilitated greater benefits in the thinking and perspectives of all students within the Chongxin Sect lineage. This is indeed the truth, and it is also the path of righteousness and genuine wisdom that fosters growth. For all of you, this is a rare blessing that would be difficult to attain even across countless lifetimes! Esteemed students: The promotion of the fifth-phase sacred mission of our sect is imminent. Prepare yourselves early in all aspects. Should any difficulties arise, you may study and resolve them together with the immortals and Buddhas!
##Nanping Daiji Ancient Buddha
The vast cosmos descends in arrival,  
Colored clouds bestow grace upon all living souls.
Immortal Maiden's Works, Chapter Thirty-One: The Great Virtue Guides the Deep-Sea Resources
Main Focus of Nanotechnology
Sentient beings of all realms are called upon to ascend, which entails a greater integration of survival orientations. In response to the higher technological civilization, there is a vast cosmic virtue and grace that adapts and transforms. It becomes clear that through advanced technology, the 21st century is truly elevated. From the perspective of the sentient world, this is achieved by harnessing all the transformative effects of advanced technology.
Through micro-nanotechnology, cellular technology is combined with microcellular technology, precisely by integrating zinc and titanium, to achieve greater advancement for the human world. In the future, this will not be the only technology of its kind. Moreover, many advanced technologies from higher realms beyond Earth's galaxy, yet to descend to our planet, will be built upon the inventions of the human world as their foundation.
Leveraging the greater role of growth to create functionality, resources refined through deep-sea technology serve as fundamental fuel for high-speed mobility devices, surpassing zinc-titanium technology. Indeed, it advances beyond zinc-titanium technology, integrating micro-nano, micro-cellular, and micro-elemental technologies to collectively benefit the humanitarian world.
Deep-sea resources are truly applicable.
Through the integration of deep-sea water resources, and in the midst of endless technological creation and invention, true innovation and discovery are destined to emerge within a millennium. Thus, in the recent span of fifty years, both in time and space, it will lead the manifestation of all technological civilizations, driving upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Following the research and invention, the application of extracting deep-sea water resources, regardless of how much research and invention is conducted, inevitably encounters numerous bottlenecks and difficulties that are hard to overcome. Under the condition of "a meeting of minds with a single spark of insight," one can genuinely comprehend and realize. This is the technological civilization provided by the revered teachers and celestial beings of the Chongxin lineage, which helps to break through these bottlenecks and difficulties.
It is precisely when the pioneers of foundation-laying and research and development, as well as scientists engaged in research and invention, encounter difficulties that the immortal and buddha teachers will come to assist in resolving all bottlenecks and hardships. In the future, such opportunities are certain to arise, fostering all endeavors and spiritual missions of the Chongxin lineage.
These two aspects complement each other. By resolving bottlenecks and difficulties, we will attract individuals of great virtue who possess genuine and profound affinity, inviting them to jointly participate in the fifth phase of the sacred mission of the Chongxin Dao Lineage. In this way, the educational role of "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" will be extended across the entire world, achieving practical application in the spirit of "drawing from the world and using it for the world."
Benefits of Deep-Sea Water Resources
It is precisely a source of considerable and reputable resources that, within the celestial realms and planets of the universe, already possesses deep-sea water resources and elements such as zinc and titanium. These are being enhanced by resources like Co3600, which also play a guiding role in the Great Dao. Truly, what is taken from the world is used for the world. Moreover, the Chongxin lineage actively participates in research, invention, and creation.
It also guides future technology, with a portion of its strength truly bestowed upon sentient beings and original spirits for their benefit, as well as bestowing blessings upon all living beings. This is achieved through the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Emperor, which descends and is verified. Therefore, in this cosmic era, it participates in and supports the advanced technological civilization of the 21st century, while also guiding the development of future technological energy.
Over 70% of the Earth's planetary system consists of deep-sea water resources, and similarly, the human body is composed of approximately 70% water. This mutual correspondence aligns with the guiding forces of the heavens and the earth, enhancing the aura and magnetic fields. It becomes clear that the importance of all combined elements in the future, along with the myriad names and forms of all elements, will be provided accordingly!
Purify all sources of pollution in the human world.
It can thus break free from the pollution and abandonment of black resources, providing a greater cleansing effect for the Earth's galaxy. The human world's use of black resources from the 19th to the 21st century has already severely polluted the Earth's galaxy, leading to the continuous occurrence of all future human diseases and creating difficult-to-change limitations and obstacles.
Moreover, many merchants have invented substances that harm all sentient beings and living creatures—pesticides, biochemical materials, and petroleum—which linger within the Earth's planetary system. Such acts of devastation inflicted upon the land of the Earth's planetary system are not what the heavens wish to witness, for they bring destruction and abandonment to all life. It can thus be understood that the Earth's planetary system: its dark resources are growing increasingly dire!
If this obstacle cannot be eliminated, within the next 20 years, all harmful gases—such as ultraviolet and gamma rays—guided by external forces, combined with the kinetic energy of detrimental gases from outer space, will directly strike the Earth's galaxy. This climatic phenomenon has been gradually intensifying, and the resulting harm to humanity on Earth is already becoming visible.
Popularization of Advanced Science and Technology Brings Benefits
It is essential to harness the resources of deep-sea water to overcome all obstacles. For the sentient beings of the human world, this can lead to actions that extend lifespan. Deep-sea water resources serve as a protective force for all living beings in the sentient world and, by providing their essential elements, offer a guiding and beneficial influence.
It is beneficial to all humanity and advantageous to one's own lineage, providing a genuine and verifiable foundation for future technology and its dissemination. Why, then, should it be established and perfected in the 21st century? As decreed through the duties of the Heavenly Mandate, it is a standard that all five major teachings should equally uphold, without distinction of any nation or religious sect.
All possess their own resources for achieving perfection, and in the endeavor to perfect all sentient beings, it is essential to unite all the world's religions. As long as there is no discrimination among them, all are cherished by Heaven and revered by the Divine as righteous paths of faith. With impartial and selfless actions, precisely through selflessness and non-interference, they become even more beneficial to all beings between heaven and earth.
Deep-Sea Resources Guided by Heaven's Will
It is to guide the future resources and sustenance of the Chongxin lineage, which means taking each step with a solid footprint. For the "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" in the 21st century, it will certainly cultivate numerous technological talents. Moreover, it will mobilize all technological talents from the cosmic and celestial realms to jointly contribute to the important causes of advancing Earth's technology.
The Chongxin lineage, in relation to future technology, aims to benefit both oneself and all sentient beings. Although the immortals and Buddhas have repeatedly emphasized that leaders must adopt corporate-style management and operation, it is equally essential to uphold religious teachings and norms. Both enterprise and religion complement each other, and it is this synergy that fosters the growth of a future earthly paradise.
Why: There are too many sages, immortals, and buddhas, such as Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, Ancient Buddha Ji Gong of Nanping, Ancient Buddha Dipamkara, Medicine Buddha of the East, Vairocana Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, the Supreme Lord Laozi, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, Confucius of Confucianism, Prophet Muhammad of Islam, and Jesus Christ of Christianity.
All that has been established and created for the realization of the 21st-century Lotus Buddha Pure Land has been accomplished through the lineage of the Heart of Reverence. This is overseen by the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sage Emperor Wenhang, together with the Supreme Being of the Void, who bears full responsibility for presiding over the origin of the Great Dao in this cosmic era. Their efforts have facilitated the creation of the "Void Treasure Pure Land World." The Heart of Reverence applies and disseminates the teachings of this cosmic era to guide all beings.
Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology Economic System
Through the support of all enterprises, rather than operating schools for profit, it is essential to clarify that education and cultivation form a system that spans generations. This requires the assistance of numerous enterprises to consolidate the establishment of Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology. With these conditions in place, nurturing outstanding talents becomes the very duty and mission of Chongxin.
Rather than merely instructing younger students in "talents and livelihood skills," it is essential to teach the ethical principles of "the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" as the foundation of human relationships. This benefits society as a whole and should be integrated into all educational curricula, with the primary goal of cultivating virtuous character and moral integrity for the future.
In the principles and norms that humanity should follow, there will be no conflicts or incompatibilities. This is because they are adapted to the sentient world and are fully manifested through human ethical and moral standards. In the sacred decree bestowed by the Supreme Mother of the Infinite upon the Great Heavenly Lord of the August Heaven, the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" are implemented in the present.
The Supreme Ruler of Heaven is precisely the embodiment of the Five Constant Virtues and the true gentleman. He has thoroughly realized the principles of Confucianism. In the past, it was said, "There is one master in Shandong and another in Shanxi." The manifestation of these two sages aligns perfectly with the civil and martial sages, who have transmitted and perpetuated the establishment and practice of Confucian ethics and moral norms.
Heaven and Earth hold affection, all beings cherish love;  
Technology and civilization are ordained by Heaven's design.
The Noble Path of the Heart gradually unfolds,  
Bearing the great virtue of the sacred tasks across five eras.
Gifts of destiny descend upon the mortal realm,  
Ethical teachings unfold through moral cultivation.
The Three Bonds, Five Constants, and Four Anchors are all encompassed;  
Education in the Eight Virtues cultivates outstanding talents.
This verse is for all sentient beings and the revered deities and students of Chongxin to mutually encourage one another. It serves as a testament and realization of virtuous influence extended downward—for oneself, for all beings, for heaven and earth, for future generations, and for the teachings.
## Wuji Erguan Shengdi
The virtue of the Mysterious Heaven responds to teachings and transformation;  
The Lord on High protects and blesses the homes of all the virtuous.
Ascending the platform to gather with all virtuous connections, the great path reveres the heart, guided by the original mind.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Colorful Clouds from the Void of our lineage has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao"—Deep Sea Resources. This teaching has been imparted within the Revered Heart, but why has it lingered and paused here over these past few years? It is precisely an extension of what was initiated in the previous period!
Regarding the transformative journey of all students within this lineage, it is to be understood that after the "Heart-Seal Dharma Gate," the teachings of the immortal and buddha mentors on the course of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit" serve as a means of verification and elevation. What the virtuous students have attained remains solely within the "Heart-Seal Dharma Gate," making it difficult to enter into the realm of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit."
Thus, the method employed by the Immortals and Buddhas to elevate wisdom is to ensure that everyone can truly "illuminate the mind and perceive one's true nature, attain enlightenment and realize the fruit of practice." Why, then, do the Immortals and Buddhas consistently emphasize: do not deify human beings, but rather recognize them as human. In the midst of the various hardships everyone experiences, this serves as a resounding wake-up call.
If one fails to truly comprehend and embody this understanding, or persists in following their own ways without any change, then in the future they will face obstacles of their own making by treating humans as divine. When that time comes, blaming the immortals and buddhas for not offering protection is merely a sign of failing to cherish oneself. Without any change, whom else can one blame? Do you understand? Reflect on this and decide for yourself.
Recently, a typhoon has struck, and this autumn-winter typhoon in Taiwan is a once-in-a-century event, so caution is essential. The Immortals and Buddhas hope that all students remain safe and auspicious. Tomorrow, the Zen teachings will dispel confusion—will this reduce the number of people coming to seek guidance? Let all things follow their natural course. The Zen master’s lecture tomorrow evening will proceed as scheduled. Let us all strive diligently!
## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
In the vast emptiness, the revered heart creates causes and conditions;  
The radiant clouds of virtue and grace endlessly nurture all living beings.
The thirty-second chapter by the Immortal Maiden:  
The economic system endures through virtue.
How the Chongxin Economic System Emerged
The dominance of deep-sea resources is precisely the primary basis for the circulation of currency, serving to mutually propagate the religious lineages across the vast world, bestowing the virtuous grace of religions that truly possess the divine will of Heaven. In other words, it is both given by oneself and bestowed by Heaven, fostering the essential resources for the future propagation and transformation.
The significance of an economic system lies precisely in its impartiality toward any currency or industry. For all students of the Chongxin lineage, it is clear that reliance on the future economic currency as the dominant force reveals that the primary source of currency sustenance—its fundamental basis—is inherently rooted in the economic system itself.
It is provided by currency; without the support of an economic system, it is truly difficult to uphold the essential nature of the overall religious lineage. Moreover, in the entire process of developing religious affairs, there must be an economic currency specific to the religious affairs system. It absolutely cannot rely solely on external alms, or it will be exceedingly difficult to advance all sacred duties!
The economic system is indeed of great importance.
This situation clearly informs sentient beings that when external sources do not come to offer alms, one may ask: how then will all the causes and conditions for sustenance arise? How can they be obtained? This presents an uncertain unknown, a state of idle stagnation. When it comes to fulfilling a great sacred duty bestowed by Heaven, how then shall it be accomplished?
These conditions must be implemented correctly! Only by addressing the economic sources behind currency circulation can such pathways flow unimpeded. Moreover, genuine beneficial conditions can only be obtained through authentic and proper means. In all human societies, thorough preparation and necessity must be ensured.
Through the human world, the acquisition of an enterprise is realized authentically. Moreover, the enterprise itself must be created and managed through one's own efforts. As for the survival orientation of various industries, it is guided by the surplus generated from these livelihoods, which in turn yields returns. In terms of currency, it is clear that it is an indispensable necessity for all human beings.
If the human world lacks the conditions for currency circulation, it is a sign of insufficient blessings—namely, poverty. Moreover, if the survival of humanity is hindered by a shortage of currency, causing significant obstacles and disturbances, the economic system must undertake a selection process across various industries and sectors. This is aimed at ensuring that each industry operates appropriately and is capable of generating abundant and sufficient currency.
The system of reverence for the heart creates sources of economic sustenance.
All technological civilizations today are applied and manifested in ways different from the past, as such conditions did not exist in earlier times. Moreover, in the present and future, there are different economic systems and variations in operational functions. How, within these economic systems, can one offer responsible contributions and support to the religion one believes in?
When it comes to managing one's own endeavors, such an economic system must possess complete necessity. At present, Chongxin is precisely lacking its own economic system, which is not within the current capacity to achieve. It is merely a necessity dictated by the circumstances of time and space. All of this requires the support of good causes and conditions to truly reap the benefits.
The Chongxin lineage must develop its own economic capacity in the future, as it is essential to fully integrate into and rely on the overall economic framework of the Dao lineage. To address the needs that arise, the Heavenly Administration has long since formulated practical and comprehensive plans for Chongxin's future economic system. By granting complete educational and cultural programs, the necessary monetary resources will be made available as required.
It is precisely the dominant conditions governed by a single lineage, exercised and adhered to through human factors, that determine whether the human world can establish itself within the Earth's star system as the guiding force for governance and adherence. This influence descends from the void and the infinite into the celestial realm, and further manifests within the Chongxin "Anxin Institution," ensuring the comprehensive implementation of the economic system.
The system functions are implemented faithfully and effectively.
To truly comprehend a system, it is essential to have a principal entity with abundant energy to create and lead it. This means that the operational approach, where success and failure are interconnected, requires the linking of numerous unit systems, which in turn mutually support and fulfill one another. It is precisely for such a leading system that the Void, the Limitless, and the Vast Heaven are implemented in Chongxin.
Furthermore, in the future, a foundation will be established to form the source of all abundant resources and provisions. Guided by the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage, and considering the necessity of all economic systems, all affairs of the humanitarian world—specifically the Anxin Institution—must be fully undertaken and led by the leaders of Chongxin, who will bear all responsibilities for unified governance and guidance.
Moreover, advancing with full dedication is essential not only for establishing a comprehensive framework of all regulations within this system but also for enhancing the necessary management standards. Additionally, the constant emphasis from the Immortals and Buddhas on respecting the presiding authorities is indispensable, as it constitutes the very balance of power that determines the rise and fall of all successes and failures.
It provides abundant resources for the Chongxin Economic Dao Lineage, while also aligning with the favor bestowed by the Great Dao upon the establishment of Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology. This will guide the norms of future technology with authenticity. Such conditions depend on whether all students of Chongxin can unite as one, consolidate the full responsibilities of the leadership core, and disseminate these principles downward.
Strictly assess all students of Chongxin.
It is essential to be supervised and managed by the Immortals and Buddhas. However, the leaders of Chongxin must be accountable to both the Immortals and Buddhas and to the Heavenly Realm. This is a necessity for the sacred duties of this era. Within the framework established by Chongxin, if any student fails to align with the creation and development of the overall Dao affairs, a selection process will inevitably be implemented to facilitate their departure.
At this stage of the sacred mission, in this time and space, a genuine foundation for widespread propagation has long been established, which can be said to be quite profound. Moreover, opportunities for transformation have been provided to all students to address their shortcomings and deficiencies. However, if such opportunities are repeatedly given—specifically, if more than three chances are offered—those who fail to improve will be screened out and will not remain, so as not to affect the implementation of all Taoist affairs within the Chongxin lineage.
Given this strong demand, it is undoubtedly a rather stringent requirement and expectation for all students of Chongxin. How, then, should one comply? It is precisely what one must come to understand on their own! If one still acts willfully and disregards the collective, it becomes difficult to integrate into the overall spiritual affairs of the Chongxin lineage. In such a case, it is not due to a lack of compassion from the immortals and Buddhas, but rather one's own failure to seize the opportunity.
In the face of our own shortcomings and deficiencies, we must strive for mutual fulfillment and improvement. We must also serve as the "vanguard of the Great Dao" in spreading its teachings. This requirement is inevitable—it is a matter of "only success is permitted, no failure is allowed." Can everyone understand this? All implementations of the Great Dao are further promoted through the Chongxin lineage in advancing all aspects of its mission.
The economic system must be accurately provided with what is essential.
Through the powerful guidance of the immortals and Buddhas, it is essential that all students cooperate with one another. Looking toward the future, those who contribute their efforts to Chongxin will also receive corresponding rewards in currency. For all genuine Chongxin students, this means not merely attending classes at the hall, but also enabling everyone to promote and propagate its teachings without any worries or concerns for the future.
We can even be quite assured that, in fulfilling the duty and mission of promoting the Great Dao, how should we coordinate with the Heavenly Will to achieve perfection? Furthermore, in relation to Chongxin: the economic system, the career system, the educational system, and the Dao affairs system—all must be integrated and mutually supportive to achieve fulfillment. This also requires substantial human resources, material resources, and financial resources to create the overall conditions for success.
People might wonder where the wealth comes from. It is precisely bestowed by the heavens and the celestial beings, granting abundant financial resources. By combining the worldly wealth and material resources with the blessings descended from the heavens, even a small amount can accomplish great things. This serves as a transformative influence on everyone’s mindset, bringing about a complete 180-degree change.
The accumulation of wealth, resources, and human effort is created and developed through the collective actions of humanity. Therefore, from the fifth phase onward, all conditions and responsibilities within the Chongxin lineage are not to be understood through conventional thinking. If one remains stuck in personal perspectives and finds it difficult to change, merely holding the title of a student in Chongxin is nothing more than seeking nominal recognition!
Education in the Dharma for the Benefit of Economic Systems
During this period, all constructions following the sacred mission of Chongxin will truly astonish everyone, serving as a genuine cornerstone for the propagation and expansion of our cause! Through the blessings and care of all Chongxin immortals and Buddhas, the future technological civilization will be faithfully manifested, providing Chongxin's entire economic system with deep-sea resources.
It is about offering true compassion, protection, and fulfillment to all sentient beings, providing them with tangible returns and opportunities for growth. This involves establishing systems of faith-centered economy, spiritual affairs, career development, and education. Only then can we avoid the shallow misconception that establishing the Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology is merely for profit-seeking purposes.
It must not only serve the genuine function of educational and cultural curricula, cultivating authentic future talents in science and technology to achieve practical application, nor should it merely teach "skills and technological survival." It must also impart the demeanor of true moral integrity and establish the framework for ethical principles to be implemented.
Deep-sea technology builds the future; a respectful and mindful economy is as it should be.
The construction of the plan as it truly is—the principle of the brush guides this heavenly vessel.
By the power of profound causes and conditions,  
All beings of virtue and goodness gather here.
Together they accomplish the great sacred task of the five epochs,  
Unfolding the cosmos to make the return.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and original spirits. It also lays the foundation for the future Chongxin economic system, faithfully establishing and expanding the "Peace of Mind Institution." Furthermore, it genuinely imparts to the students trained by Chongxin—who practice true virtue and grace in the human world—the moral principles of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics, setting an example for the world.
## Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu
The System of the Heart's Economy is established,  
Cultivated by the Celestial Venerable of Limitless Enlightenment.
Through five periods of karmic connections, the teachings are expanded and widely propagated;  
By establishing the true Dharma, the vast heavens grant their protection.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of Colorful Clouds from the Void has descended through our lineage to compose the thirty-second chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Tao." This chapter thoroughly elucidates the economic system of the Revered Heart, offering guidance for future planning and strategies, thereby establishing a framework for the enterprise system.
Granting all students the opportunity to strive diligently and genuinely achieve practical elevation, the immortals and buddhas have long informed the leaders of Chongxin: How should theories and concepts be put into practice? Through the application of one’s own actions, step by step, progressing forward, and correcting mistakes along the way, over eight years, both knowledge and wisdom have been significantly enhanced.
The future will be incomparable to the past. All students must be strongly urged to integrate with the whole. If one does not strive, what can be done? The immortals and Buddhas, through their understanding of all students' mindsets, have long been aware of everything, seeing it all clearly. If there are still numerous excuses and reasons, it is only oneself obstructing one's own transcendence and growth.
It is essential to understand: among all the sages, buddhas, and divine beings who achieved enlightenment in the past, was there ever one who made a multitude of excuses or offered countless reasons? No! It is absolutely impossible to hinder one's own growth. Everyone acts accordingly; one must rely on their own judgment and effort, advancing step by step, leaving a solid footprint with each stride. Do not assume that joining Chongxin means you can rest easy. If you merely seek a title, it is precisely a sign of your own lack of effort! Do you understand? Farewell for now!

Da Dao Chong Xin, Thirty-third Chapter: Abundant Provisions, Chong Xin's Covenant
Abundant provisions in the human world
The Deep Sea Resource Economic System serves as an educational and cultural curriculum for all sentient beings in the world of consciousness. It involves channeling all resources of the vast universe downward through virtue and grace to benefit the original spirits of all sentient beings. Moreover, it strengthens the resolve of those who revere the heart, enabling them to remain unwavering and unyielding over eight years, even shining brightly: elevating and propagating the Sacred Teachings of Confucianism.
Here is a constructive proposition: the comprehensive system of Confucian sacred teachings can genuinely guide all religious traditions across the world toward integration. Furthermore, it fosters the convergence of all sentient beings, offering mutual fulfillment and guiding them toward true education. It promotes teachings of justice, equality, and selfless action, integrating these principles into the growth and development of human society.
Granting all the causes and conditions to Chongxin, the establishment of "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" was founded to construct a genuine source of resources. In viewing the "Ruzong Shengjiao," after more than two thousand years, it has truly elevated educational and cultural curricula. Through numerous causes, conditions, and opportunities, it has established a remarkably solid foundation.
Abundant provisions are drawn from the world.
The establishment of the Confucian sacred hall system elevates the human world, creating the conditions for genuine educational cultivation and fostering growth and transcendence. This enables the abundant blessings bestowed by Heaven to descend into the human realm. Through the construction of the Chongxin lineage, it becomes a remarkable opportunity to establish a new school and lineage.
By establishing a lineage under such conditions, the truly supreme "ultimate truth of meaning" can manifest in the human world, serving as the source of teachings and an opportunity for transformation. This precisely brings down the rare and profound conditions of ages past to form the foundation of the Chongxin lineage, thereby overcoming the obstacles and limitations of the past several decades, and enabling growth, refinement, and elevation.
It can be said to be a profound endeavor, aiming to construct a future for all sentient beings within the "Confucian Sacred Hall" system, advocating the creation and development of technological civilization. For the myriad living beings in the vast world, it provides truly abundant resources and functions, guiding the growth of generations through the manifestation of technology, fostering nourishment, comfort, and widespread accessibility.
Different Functions under Varying Conditions of Abundance
To discern the lineage masters, one must first consider their inherent qualities. It is clear that most of the expansion and propagation of all lineages within the universe can only achieve regional outreach, rarely extending to the entire world. In the present era, religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam have already created the conditions for global dissemination.
However, both Confucianism and Taoism lack such conditions for teaching and the opportunity to establish connections, and are hindered by their respective sectarian tendencies. This further delays the responsibilities and missions entrusted by Heaven. To foster the connections that Chongxin possesses, it is imperative to establish a government-recognized, formal university.
For a true institution of higher learning, viewed from the perspective of the human world: it must undergo numerous application procedures and related processes. Moreover, concerning the interplay of relevant causes and conditions, since it is supported by all economic systems, it entails considerable burdens. In response, Heaven will accordingly allocate numerous favorable conditions to jointly assist in the fulfillment of this extraordinary opportunity of karmic affinity.
Regarding the establishment and realization of the overall conditions and circumstances for the future "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology," it has been set up and accomplished with great fidelity. Moreover, for cultivating moral talents with an equal perspective on religious education in the future, and for those who engage in educational research and innovation, it is through the role of "borrowing talents" that many technological talents from the heavens have come to bring this to fruition.
The application of resources should be universally accessible.
Mutually assisting in the establishment of "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" to promote global outreach is precisely the goal anticipated by the Heavenly Realm. With resources to mutually achieve this, the abundance or scarcity of these resources will determine how the future economic system will benefit from it, forming yet another self-sufficient educational system.
Prerequisite: If the economic system cannot support the educational system, it may risk becoming similar to ordinary religious universities, which require extensive and abundant monetary support from the economic system to avoid scarcity. Conversely, if the economic system can compensate for the shortcomings of the educational system, there will be no cause for concern.
Moreover, by focusing on promoting and managing university affairs, we can fully utilize the abundant resources bestowed by Heaven, which are indeed inexhaustible. This aligns precisely with the principle of "taking from the world and using it for the world," requiring a broad-minded vision and perspective. Under such conditions, the Confucian sacred temple system can advance toward even greater growth.
The reason for establishing educational and cultural curricula within the framework of heaven and earth lies in the fundamental role and future objectives of the divine. To establish a formal private university, it is essential to gather numerous talents, human resources, and material support, all working in coordination. Moreover, substantial financial strength is required to provide the fundamental driving force necessary for the establishment of the university.
Establishment of a Formal University through the Integration of Chongxin
For the future of the present world, ninety-nine or eighty-one world universities and colleges will be selected to mutually support and connect through religious integration. This initiative is established to build the 21st-century Lotus Buddha Land, based on the fundamental framework of university education institutions. The Chongxin Sect lineage will implement this vision through the future "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology."
To earn the respect of all sentient beings and elevate ethical and moral education for all humanity, the Confucian Sacred Teaching established the Great Academy with authenticity. This initiative is driven by the Chongxin economic system and fully led by the "Anxin Institution." It must first obtain the approval and endorsement of the immortal and buddha teachers before proceeding with future sacred endeavors.
Granting reverence to the heart in the realm of future technology, and as a regional leader in the 21st century, is to bestow the virtues of Shangcang and the merits of the immortals and buddhas upon the human world, allowing them to be utilized and benefited from. For the myriad sentient beings of the future world, this enables growth and learning, offering endless benefits and inexhaustible rewards.
Thus, with the establishment of a comprehensive economic system specifically for Chongxin, the Chongxin lineage will, in the future, possess a self-sufficient economic framework for all its endeavors. This will serve as a solid foundation to support the establishment of Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology, facilitating the implementation of ethical and moral norms for humanity.
Provision of Resources and Assistance
It is essential to establish, within the next fifty years, comprehensive resources for curricula in religious equality, education, and culture. From the perspective of all religious leaders, this will demonstrate the authenticity of establishing formal universities and colleges under the Confucian tradition, while also mutually supporting all religions and serving as a model for equality and selflessness.
It will serve as a proper guiding example and ensure correctness. For the Chongxin Sect, it initiates the growth of the Confucian Sacred Teaching in the 21st century, elevating the well-being of all in the human world. For the sentient world’s technological civilization, it will be recorded as a rich blessing. Regardless of how many centuries pass, it will be faithfully constructed and documented.
This method of technological preservation has already been bestowed upon the human world by the heavens. With only slight modifications, it can be maintained intact for millions of years without damage. It is also within this cosmic cycle that the primary auspicious cause and condition arises, allowing the "True Buddha Heart School" to initiate the genuine dissemination of great virtue and grace across the entire universe, serving as the authentic refuge of true nature.
Abundant resources complement and support each other.
Granting the Chongxin lineage the responsibility towards themselves, all sentient beings, the Heavenly Realm, and the Buddhas and Immortals in a practical manner, and genuinely expanding the welfare of future beings. Moreover, as the spiritual elevation of humanity may potentially decline generation after generation, through the collective deliberation of the Heavenly Realm’s Buddhas and Immortals, how shall the welfare of the future be preserved?
How should it be provided, and how should benefits be made, by offering educational and cultural programs aimed at the growth and preservation of the human world? The key lies in the necessity of genuine educational and cultural virtues being cultivated. As for the focus on the economic system, it must be constructed truthfully, only then can there be truly abundant resources and provisions to be fully realized.
Furthermore, regarding the source of abundant resources and provisions, it is essential to rely not on external donations or sponsorships, but to achieve self-sufficiency—this is the true path! With our own economic system in place, and by genuinely implementing the "Peace of Mind Institution" within the predestined connections of the Chongxin lineage, the conditions have gradually matured. Hence, from the fifth phase onward, we are progressively able to comprehend all the causal conditions and circumstances.
All is arranged and perfected by the heavenly deities and Buddhas. Within the Chongxin lineage, the Confucian sacred teachings serve precisely as the key to unlocking the creator of cosmic life. Thus, we, the deities and Buddhas, possess a profoundly appropriate method of education for all sentient beings. This not only provides the abundant resources of heaven but also benefits humanity and all living beings.
The heavens bestow abundant provisions equally upon all below.
Moreover, for everyone to truly and genuinely benefit in terms of "clarifying the mind, seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit," and to meet the current demands for enhancing the manifestation of wisdom, one must allow oneself to receive endless benefits. This involves personal growth and transcendence through self-cultivation and application, leading to virtuous returns and continuous upward progress and surpassing.
In recent years, everyone within the Chongxin lineage has made sacrifices and contributions, offering selfless and unconditional dedication. This has created the karmic conditions for the true heavenly principles and teachings to be propagated, serving the Heavens, the immortals and Buddhas, ourselves, all sentient beings, and future generations. As a result, the Dadao series has been faithfully compiled, and the seventeenth volume has now been completed.
This divine truth descending in its authentic form is a rare and extraordinary opportunity that is difficult to encounter even over countless lifetimes. Moreover, through everyone's diligent companionship and collaboration in recent years, one can truly attain boundless benefits in the process of elevating wisdom, and it is through oneself that all the gains of upward growth are obtained.
Deep-sea resources forge the future, the economic system must open.
Gradually bestowing abundant provisions upon the world below,  
The Chongxin University was established to carry this noble mission.
Heaven favors the era of great transformation,  
It is essential to have steadfast resolve and mutual accord.
The cause of the writing brush is worthy of praise;  
Recommending the truth brings mutual benefit.
This verse! It is mutually encouraging for all sentient beings and original spirits, as well as all the buddhas, deities, and students of the Chongxin lineage. It is precisely through the Master's powerful endorsement and advocacy that the correctness of the Principal Scribe's propagation and transformation can be affirmed. It can be said: it does not allow the celestial buddhas to be lacking! It also truly grants all the celestial buddhas, teachers of Chongxin, and the celestial buddhas of the heavens the ability to affirm and appreciate it.
## Chongxin Chairman, Wencheng Sage Emperor
The Great Cause of the Revered Heart Lineage,  
The Wuji Bestows the Chapter of Virtue.
The Sage Emperor of the Three Passes ascends the platform to convene the assembly, gathering all sages to achieve perfect fulfillment.
Oh! To all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Chairman of our lineage—the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance—has descended to Chongxin to author the thirty-third chapter of *The Great Dao Chongxin*. This chapter truly elucidates a rich source of spiritual nourishment, offering boundless benefits for the future of the Chongxin lineage.
Due to this kind of karma and connection, it is necessary to apply them truthfully in the human world, linking them together through mutual interaction. Of course, this must be managed through human means. Although the heavens can bestow many opportunities and turning points, it is ultimately up to humanity to create and connect them, rather than relying entirely on the manifestations of immortals and buddhas.
If one does not strive diligently, it becomes an obstacle to collective progress, a truth that holds particularly true for the eight years of education and cultural cultivation we have undergone. Moreover, for all future endeavors in propagating and transforming, every step of the process must already be encompassed within. If we cannot achieve growth through human effort, then the eight years of earnest guidance from the immortals and buddhas would have been in vain.
It is hoped that everyone must apply wisdom to achieve self-fulfillment, as well as success in the following four aspects: the organizational entity, the economic system, the spiritual path, and the educational framework. These four pillars are what the Chongxin lineage will create through all future conditions and causes. The Fifth Epoch will differ entirely from the present reality, and this will become clear in times to come!
Nanping protects and blesses all sentient beings;  
Daoji descends to honor the heart of reverence.
The Ancient Buddha Ascends in Thirty-Four Returns, Using Gravity as Evidence.
Gravitational Interaction
Deep-Sea Provisions: To establish a foundation of abundant provisions, it is precisely guided by "gravity." Sentient beings all tread upon the earth, and in this process of grounding themselves, "gravity" pulls sentient beings to stand firm. This enables them not to be confined or influenced by the "attraction of the heavens," while also fulfilling the actions of beings in finding their refuge.
The Earth's Core: It is precisely due to a rather intense kinetic energy that the benevolent virtues of the earth can harness this energy to find their foundation. Moreover, all living beings within the Earth's planetary system are bound by the "gravitational force" of the "Earth's core," preventing them from being constrained by the gravitational pull of the celestial core. This prevents them from floating uncontrollably into the sky, which would be difficult to manage.
Sentient beings have been seizing the opportunity for growth and survival in the Earth's galaxy for over six billion years. Throughout this time, the Earth's core has consistently guided this process, ensuring that all aspects of human existence genuinely benefit. However, if one were to rely solely on the Earth's rotation and revolution, one would never perceive the galaxy's own spinning motion.
Regulations Governing the Operation of Earth's Star System
Furthermore, regarding the revolution within its own rotation, it follows the operational space to which it belongs, also cycling within such temporal and spatial causes and conditions. For the Earth's star system, which is a gaseous star system floating in the universe, there exists within it an adherence to the overall movement of the Great Dao. In other words, the Earth's star system maintains a regular orbital pattern.
What is referred to by human beings as the universal law of the Great Dao's self-rotation, if not verified by modern science regarding the Earth and its celestial system, would lead sentient beings to believe that the Earth stands still, and that the sun, moon, and stars merely revolve around it. Without the validation of science, how could one truly understand and verify this reality? Indeed, it is so!
It is precisely a kind of rather intense kinetic energy that must be demonstrated—one might speak of thermal energy reaching millions of degrees, fused within the Earth's planetary system. Guided by the Earth's core, all movements rely on this kinetic energy, which serves as the primary foundation for providing a warm, protective force for all sentient beings on this vast land.
Deep-Sea Resources: Why can fossils of creatures originally from the deep sea be found on cold, high mountains? Moreover, this movement of energy bodies has facilitated the transformation of "seas into mulberry fields." In all the variations of seas turning into mulberry fields, it has occurred numerous times before such landscapes could be observed—precisely driven by "kinetic energy."
The force of gravity transforms seas into mulberry fields.
This dynamic energy serves to protect all living beings, providing a warm and nurturing safeguard. How then can we understand that within the solidity of the earth, there must be the warmth of fire to facilitate the survival and attachment of humanity to the Earth's planetary system? Similarly, the warmth of the human body, which is also the action of fire, must ultimately rely on the "heart of the earth" as its foundation.
This is the great earth that governs all geological energy bodies, the kinetic energy of fiery heat conduction, which guides the actions of all geothermal energy. Only through this can gravitational growth be achieved. Without the energy emitted by the geological heat, it would be a lifeless star system. It is precisely this kinetic energy that can generate endless sources of thermal energy.
The dynamic forces that shape the Earth, guided by the thermal energy channeled from the Earth's core, drive the interconnected movements of each individual tectonic plate. It is this process that generates all the thermal energy harnessed for creation. Moreover, due to the multitude of primordial kinetic forces, the warmth produced by gravitational attraction serves to protect all sentient beings.
It is precisely this protective function that enables the myriad beings on Earth to create through daily life and rest, thereby achieving a warmth-oriented existence. This necessity of relying on warm kinetic energy indeed exists within the Earth's planetary system, guided by the thermal energy generated through kinetic forces.
Gravitational forces mutually push and squeeze.
It exerts a restraining influence on the Earth's star system. Consider carefully: why is it that the closer one gets to the Earth's surface, the hotter the overall temperature becomes, while the higher one ascends, the colder it gets? What causes this phenomenon? It can be understood that kinetic energy itself is immense, serving as the dominant force behind all energetic entities within the Earth's star system.
Especially in the central part of the soil, there exists a condition of intense attachment. If one deviates from this central region, it gradually resembles only the existential causes and conditions of a lifeless galactic body. It is precisely the Earth's core within this central part that bestows exceptional qualities upon the planetary system, providing fundamental protection and care for all living beings—this is the correct understanding.
This is kinetic energy: it attaches to all existences, to the mutual combinations of the Earth's tectonic plates, forming yet another overlapping layer. Through kinetic energy, it transmits into heat, prompting the mutual pushing and squeezing among all plates. This is precisely what humans have historically referred to as "the earth ox turning over"—earthquakes—which are exactly the result of the transmission of kinetic energy from the mutual pushing and squeezing of plates.
This will then mutually affect all calamities of sentient beings, which in contemporary terms refers to the occurrence of "earthquakes." It also exists in the mutual pushing and squeezing among all things. When kinetic energy is formed and cannot be released, it inevitably leads to the process of transformation in all geological plates, causing the dissipation and diffusion of all energy bodies.
Gravity pushes and squeezes, causing the earth to turn over.
Regarding the venting energy body itself, it is essential to achieve a balance of internal energies, leading to mutual annihilation. All strata will inevitably generate mutual compression, making it difficult to establish equilibrium. Under such causal conditions, sentient beings and primordial spirits encounter the dissipation caused by kinetic disasters—what is now referred to as earthquake disasters!
When the intensity surpasses a certain threshold, it inevitably triggers powerful tsunamis, which in turn become an immeasurable disaster. This serves as a balancing force that dissipates kinetic energy—a phenomenon sentient beings often struggle to comprehend. All balanced energies within the earth interact to mutually diminish one another. How, then, do such conditional dynamics operate?
The dynamic energy that drives the balance and dominance on the fading earth serves as a mutual protective force for all living beings. If not released through gradual dissipation, it will repeatedly accumulate and exert mutual pressure, leading to even greater disasters on Earth. How, then, can there be a space of peace and comfort?
Gravity has lost all balance in its dissipation.
In the interpretation of the sentient earth, it is to extend protection and benevolent grace to all living beings. Precisely because of this layer of karmic connection, it can also be said that all life forms among the myriad beings exist only in a fleeting moment. I ask the original spirits of sentient beings: When will impermanence arrive, as it is said? Can you comprehend this? Indeed, you cannot!
It is through the process of discharging and redistributing pressures within the earth that the planet sacrifices a small area for the sake of all living beings—a true act of universal protection and profound grace! Without such processes, how could sentient beings even exist within this planetary system, let alone pursue survival with all its dependencies? Not necessarily so!
Given such conditions, the gravitational forces across the Earth's planetary system lead to the mutual repulsion of kinetic energies—what humanity refers to as earthquakes. The guidance of Providence over these conditions serves to mitigate the disasters arising from such mutual repulsion, rather than allowing the Earth to sink into continuous decline. This reflects the inherent truth of adhering to these conditions.
Gravity generates kinetic energy, while overlapping interactions shape the geological formation.
All sentient beings can stand firm,  
And must find growth within this life.
Kinetic energy is expelled to dissipate, while electrical energy is channeled to serve as the foundation.
The warmth of gravity protects all living beings; without this dynamic force, stillness and death would follow.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement among all sentient original spirits: to take the guidance of gravity as our foundation. Why then do sentient original spirits always believe that heaven and earth are unkind, treating all living beings as straw dogs? This is true even for the energy body of the Earth's star system itself. So how can one, in a single lifetime, achieve growth and transcendence?

##The Three Pure Ones Patriarch, The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning
序言、讚曰、頌賀
The cause and conditions of the Wuji have now expanded,  
The Second Lord Guan Sheng Di descends to the platform to bestow his decree.
The Great Way exalts the heart and spreads far and wide,  
As causes and conditions grow, heaven and earth are imbued.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao," the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, has descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao." This chapter elucidates the concept of "gravity," which is not something that ordinary scientific theories can clearly reveal.
Furthermore, it is the great virtue and grace of the universe's creation that facilitates the elevation of all sentient beings' original spirits—precisely so! As for the orientation of existence, it is also interconnected with all living beings, and what can serve as verification is the overlapping karmic relationships among various individual entities. This is precisely what fosters the existence of the Earth's planetary system between the deep seas and high mountains, offering a most authentic testament to this truth.
The reverence of the Great Dao for the heart has gradually been accomplished, and all preparations are in place. It is hoped that everyone can devote more care to the editing, so that all sentient beings may greatly benefit from it.
◎Note: After the Ancient Buddha and Benevolent Teacher, the Daoist of Nanping, authored this piece "Gravity," it was only about ten days before the South Asian earthquake occurred, triggering a tsunami that resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties—truly a sorrowful event! If called a coincidence, it is precisely because the immortals and Buddhas had long warned sentient beings, yet what could be done? Here, in silent prayer, may all our compatriots who perished in this disaster rest in peace! Ancient Buddha of the South Sea
跋、凡例
##The Primordial Qi of the Infinite, Patriarch Hongjun
序言、讚曰、頌賀
Under the Southern Heaven's direct rule, a foundation is laid;  
Across the seas and lands, virtue's grace is widely displayed.
In ancient times, the Great Way prevailed throughout the world;  
The Buddha revealed the heavenly heart, drawing all beings to rely upon it.
The extraordinary function of the gravitational force of the Heavenly Heart.
Sentient beings in the human world orient their survival with the earth as their foundation. A vast energy field generates gravity, which governs the necessity of all survival orientations. It is precisely due to gravity that stability in standing upon the earth is achieved, allowing all beings to receive the nurturing virtue of the earth.
It also serves a guiding function for all living beings on earth: only by being protected by the gravitational pull of the earth can they avoid being drawn into space by the gravitational force of the heavens. Moreover, given that humanity's current energy capabilities are insufficient for traversing the celestial realms of space, it is all too easy for the physical body to vanish, and even for the soul to scatter without a trace.
It is governed by all cosmic galaxies; and why is there a "gravitational force of the celestial heart" in the cosmic heavens? Precisely because it governs the positioning and balance of all celestial bodies, ensuring the true function of the Great Dao's operation, preventing mutual collisions, and enabling each galaxy to rotate on its axis and revolve in orbit, aligning with the virtuous grace of the celestial heart.
Solar System and Its Celestial Bodies
In accordance with the unimpeded operation of the Great Dao, it is precisely the transformation of energy bodies that extends further. Even the rotation and revolution of each stellar system are regulated by the mutual balance generated by the Great Dao. Thus, through the absorption function of their own energy, all stellar systems within the entire universe are propelled toward balanced and mutually creative evolution.
It is essential to understand the operation as revealed by the Great Dao, and through the guiding role of all cosmic galaxies, to accurately summarize the fundamental functions of the heavenly virtues. This further enables the mutual balance of the entire cosmic galaxy system, where the energies emitted by different celestial bodies coexist harmoniously within the space of the universe.
In particular, considering the solar system in which humanity currently resides, there exists a mutual interplay: the positioning roles of Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. They rely on and sustain one another, maintaining a balanced and guiding order. It is essential to comprehend the benevolent grace of the celestial heart, and to understand how it aligns with the fundamental demands of the vast cosmic galaxy.
Thus, the frequencies of rotation and revolution mutually absorb and maintain balance through restraint. If the energy of a planet within a galaxy far surpasses that of the surrounding celestial bodies, mutual absorption will inevitably occur, generating a substantial kinetic force of attraction. Such absorption poses significant danger to the other celestial bodies.
The science of the gravitational force of the heavenly mind is difficult to prove.
The great way of heaven lies in balancing all cosmic and interstellar regulations, enabling all celestial bodies to interact in equilibrium and positioning them in mutual equality. This principle serves as the standard for gravitational interactions, preventing the danger of mutual collisions caused by attraction. It is essential to let the virtuous grace of the heavenly heart guide all celestial bodies, for this is the correct path!
Therefore, within the grand Dao's framework of deduction and norms, whether it is possible to exist for one's own celestial body or for other celestial bodies, there arises a mutual protective action, which is precisely the fundamental function of self-generated kinetic energy. How can we understand the energy that exists within each celestial body? And how can we achieve mutual equality in survival throughout the entire cosmos?
If one can balance the laws governing the positioning of the entire universe, the crisis of mutual collisions would not arise. Sentient beings and primordial spirits fundamentally cannot comprehend that, within the current Earth's planetary system, it is the kinetic mass and electrical energy bodies, which absorb all gravitational forces of the Earth, that operate through the immense kinetic energy of the entire universe, maintaining balance through their own motion.
The flow of Dao’s energy and magnetic fields, through mutual rotation and revolution, generate energy bodies that supply the rotation and revolution of all celestial bodies. This follows the law of the Dao, maintaining mutual balance and fulfilling the fundamental functions of the entire universe. All kinetic energy produced for celestial bodies serves to achieve the absorption and release of dynamic energy in accordance with their inherent nature.
The gravitational pull of the heavens governs the gravitational pull of the earth.
Furthermore, regarding the laws of rotation and revolution produced by celestial bodies in the universe, they are positioned according to the cyclical principles of the Great Dao, without deviating from their orbital functions. If viewed from the perspective of the "earth's core," the gravitational pull of the "celestial core" is even more immense. This clarifies how sentient beings and divine beings, who seek to escape the Earth's celestial body, would be affected.
It is bound to encounter the gravitational pull of the celestial will, which constrains and dissipates it. This is precisely the mutual interference generated by the kinetic energy of the human planetary body, which binds the energy body and, in turn, operates through it. Such constraints exist within the very planet where life thrives, where humanity lives out its existence.
Otherwise, having long grown accustomed to living on various celestial bodies, such habitual existence would likely be constrained by the gravitational pull of the Earth's star system if one attempted to leave the planetary sphere. This would cause considerable harm to oneself, and in an instant, the body would be annihilated by the "gravitational force of the heavens."
Within the energy of each celestial body, there exists a protective force that shields the planet itself. If any external force intrudes, it will generate a destructive power. This exclusive force is present in every star system, making it impossible to suddenly break free from the obstacles imposed by the planetary bodies. This is precisely how it arises!
Gravitational interference disrupts the internal cyclonic fluctuations.
The kinetic energy generated by each entity mutually sustains the planets of each entity, performing a considerable protective function. It can be said: Does its own conditions and energy suffice to depart from its planetary body? If it cannot attain a relatively advanced energy form, it will likely be unable to depart from the planetary body and may vanish before even attempting to do so.
This refers to the dynamic energy currents surrounding each celestial body, which mutually generate a protective force for the planet. These currents can block all external forces of exclusion from foreign entities, preventing them from entering the planet. In this way, each celestial body in the universe possesses distinct dynamic protective energy fields, as well as kinetic entities that safeguard the planet.
How can the kinetic energy possessed by a planet be integrated into one's own energy body? This is a rather significant issue; moreover, why can the energy bodies of immortals and buddhas detach from their respective planets? Furthermore, they are able to come and go freely. Such conditions must be achievable through the conduction of electrical energy, which transmits all sublime energies, thereby clarifying the matter!
The gravitational pull of the celestial heart merges with the great Dao's operation.
It also serves to truly benefit the energy bodies of sentient primordial spirits across various planets, as well as saints, immortals, Buddhas, and high-level bodhisattvas, by absorbing and emitting functions, allowing them to rely on and manifest according to reality. This involves summarizing and regulating the "gravitational forces" of each planet—a concept not easily comprehensible to ordinary human sentient primordial spirits.
How do the energy functions of various celestial bodies operate? It is due to the frequency of the energy bodies that the survival and dependence of all beings within each celestial body are influenced, as well as the role of choice and rejection. Precisely, it depends on whether each energy body itself possesses sufficient QNA energy to emit light and whether it can effortlessly roam freely throughout the universe.
It is only by aligning with the energy of every galaxy that one attains truth. Sentient beings may then discern whether their own energy bodies are abundant or lacking, whether they are complete, whether they can transcend, and whether they can return to their origin. All of this can be revealed in the present moment. Such an energy body can indeed be fully realized in the human world.
Heaven and Earth hold affection for all star systems,  
The heart of Heaven draws, the heart of Earth pulls.
The gravitational forces of heaven and earth interlock in harmony, protecting the planetary energy body.
The planetary system must be made suitable;  
To depart, one must first understand the foundation.
Self-illuminating energy is abundant,  
Leisurely and carefree, the Buddha-mind is relied upon.
This verse is shared among all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; it serves as a guiding principle in summarizing the interplay between "earth's gravitational pull" and "heaven's gravitational pull." Through this, all living beings across various star systems and planets can benefit. This distinction in the well-being of each planet truly brings tangible benefits to all souls and living beings.

##Primordial Ancestral Qi, the Supreme Mysterious Sage
序言、讚曰、頌賀
Ceremony for the Ascension of the Deputy Seat Magu  
The profound affinity of the Revered Heart is incomparably great.
The sacred mission of the five periods is carried forward, guiding the deliverance of the two yang eras of youth and maturity.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, it is the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea who descends to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of "The Revered Heart of the Great Dao," summarizing and elucidating the topic of "The Attraction of the Heavenly Heart." This is precisely a lesson that the sentient beings and original spirits of the human world find difficult to comprehend, as many are encountering such thoughts and reflections for the very first time.
Current technology cannot yet verify this, but in the future, it will be authentically verified and manifested, granting all Chongxin students and divine beings the ability to construct entirely new ways of thinking. Moreover, regarding whether one's energy body can fully benefit from the conditions of karma, it is essential to genuinely understand the karmic connections of "borrowing talents"—only then can one follow the true path.
◎ Inquiry: Is the gravitational force of the Heavenly Heart the Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, or is it another form of energy entity?
Answer: It is not the Heavenly Mind's Sacred Mirror, but rather the original energy body of the Great Dao, which governs all energy sources across the cosmic stars. It interconnects the rotation and revolution of each celestial system, and this is precisely the overall energy source of the Great Dao.
All virtuous beings: The primordial ancestral qi of the Great Dao gives rise to the universe and its celestial bodies, establishing a true and proper guiding order. It is not constrained by the revolution and rotation of individual star systems; rather, it mutually assists these revolutions and rotations. This is precisely the proper guiding function of the Great Dao in action.
In the future, within the Dadao series, all creations of technological civilization will be truthfully expounded, and every effort will yield good results. The Chongxin lineage will also create causes and conditions for the well-being of all beings in the human world and establish them.

##Void Limitless Primordial Qi, Void Ascendant
序言、讚曰、頌賀
Namo, the supreme love and compassion,  
The Dharma of the Lamp-Lighting Buddha naturally unfolds.
The Ancient Buddha descended to author thirty-six chapters; the cosmos rides upon the great Dao, bearing its truth.
The Universe and the Great Celestial Realm Return to Ascend Through Riding
The gravitational force of the Heavenly Heart fosters growth, serving as the basis for the "self-energy—QNA" radiance of sages, immortals, and buddhas across the vast world. It necessitates correct and essential guidance, for if human beings aspire to enter the cosmic star systems, they must undergo religious refinement and cultivation. Only then can the luminous function of their self-energy QNA be activated.
Moreover, one can roam freely among the cosmic galaxies, where all conditions for transcendence and liberation are initially established, providing the true karmic foundation for transformation and ascension. The cosmos is also referred to as the "Great Void." In ancient times, it was not called the cosmos; rather, it was named according to the terminology of the present era. In remote antiquity, it was universally known as the "Void," reflecting different appellations across various periods.
Through the overall balance and positioning among all star systems, galaxies, and planets within the grand void, the unified and mutually guiding interactions of the whole are integrated. This is the ultimate source of the Great Dao, rooted in the "grand void." In the present era, this term is no longer used; instead, it is referred to by the name "the great universe."
The gravitational energy of the Heavenly Heart surpasses all.
To provide a clear understanding for sentient beings in the present era on how to thoroughly comprehend the universe and its galaxies, it is essential to transcend with utmost authenticity. However, the prerequisite lies in upholding the moral virtues of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues" within the human world. This serves as the condition for whether one's own energy body resonates and aligns with one's actions and conduct!
In the human world, the foundations of "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" serve as its roots, enabling sentient beings to understand that their present actions and deeds can harmonize with the energy bodies of the celestial star systems of the Supreme Heaven. Through this, they can obtain the energy bodies of those star systems, achieving mutual integration and sufficient energy within their own physical forms.
Furthermore, when examining the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues," if they can be elucidated using the terminology of today's technological era and provide sentient beings with a scientifically grounded validation, they serve as models and benchmarks for all living beings across the vast world. This can be considered a profoundly transcendent achievement, enabling a high-level return and surpassing of conventional understanding.
The celestial bodies in the universe vary across different star systems.
All points where galaxies exist must be positioned within the cosmic whole by following the orbit of the Great Dao. Similarly, all records in the human world that provide proper guidance regarding the heavens, earth, stars, seasons, and solar terms are exemplified by the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, who integrated the 24 solar terms into the entire cycle of a year's existence.
This temporal and spatial condition is one that follows the rhythms of existence, providing a time and space where sentient beings and primordial spirits can truly benefit. It allows for an understanding of the cyclical changes brought about by the four seasons, eight festivals, and twenty-four solar terms. It can be said that this condition is interconnected with the entire cosmic galaxy, fostering growth within the framework of dependent existence.
Moreover, it serves as a positive guide for the survival orientation of all human beings, and can clearly record the annual cycles of existence each year. Otherwise, how could we perceive the changes brought about by the passage of time? It operates based on the conditions of the celestial phenomena in the greater universe, providing a recorded legacy for the human world.
This kind of causal condition serves to position the entire cosmos as a whole, thereby facilitating the proper guidance for the survival and ultimate refuge of beings. It is precisely due to the elevation brought about by the ascended sages, immortals, and buddhas, and because the sentient beings and original spirits in the human world can resemble these sages, immortals, and buddhas, that those who truly achieve the state of sages, immortals, and buddhas are the ones who genuinely attain transcendence and elevation.
To ride the Yue, one must possess an energy body.
At this level, it can be said that they are merely different species of sentient beings! It is based on the conditions for transcendence inherent in sentient beings that this is promoted, expanding to achieve self-luminous energy bodies. This is the luminous function of one's own energy; the original spirits of sentient beings can attain this goal, as their fundamental roots are originally the same.
It is precisely because all human beings are deluded and obstructed by the five dust realms, and further cover their own intrinsic energy, that it becomes exceedingly difficult to transcend and dissolve these obstacles. How, then, can one truly emit light from one’s own being? One must possess QNA energy in order to expand one’s intrinsic energy. This requires considerable conditions and karmic affinity!
Only then can one truly benefit and advance; in other words, it is about clearing away the filth and impurities that cover us. This very condition arises from the energy we ourselves radiate, enabling us to transcend the Earth's star system, to grow, to surpass, and to return. It is under such circumstances that we achieve transcendence. This is precisely what countless original souls deeply yearn for—to attain elevation and transcendence!
The Main Structural Framework of the Chengyue Foundation
How, then, can one apply the QNA energy body to oneself? It is essential to practice the principles of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics" within the human world. This human realm can be fully realized, transcended, and used as a foundation for elevation. How can one surpass the Earth's star system? It is necessary to be human as a human, to act and uphold through human conduct!
It is under the positive guidance of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" and in alignment with the energy bodies of the celestial systems within the vast universe that mutual connections can be established. This, in turn, allows one to live as a true human being, enabling them to transcend conditions and karmic affinities within a lifetime, ultimately benefiting and gaining from their own efforts.
To traverse the realms of the cosmos, the void, and the infinite, one must rely on genuine energy as a foundation. It is essential to first embody the functions of great virtue, great wisdom, great auspiciousness, great compassion, great universal love, and great equality. Only then can one interconnect with the cosmic order of the entire universe and its galaxies, fostering growth in a manner that is both correct and practical.
The Conditions for Transcending the Cosmos
Sentient beings, in their original spiritual state, arrive at the understanding of past karmic attainments. This is genuinely manifested within the consciousness of thoughts and awareness, serving as the primary basis for the dissemination of all principles. It is therefore essential to address one's own "purity and defilement, defilement and purity" as the fundamental orientation. Moreover, for all original spirits across the vast universe, each is obstructed by their own thoughts and actions.
How can one cleanse the filth that covers oneself and restore one’s innate original nature? It is essential to genuinely open one’s "pure heavenly spirit" to transcend, and further cultivate virtue to manifest it, thereby enabling the luminous energy of "Buddha-nature manifestation."
Sentient beings and primordial spirits lack precisely these conditions. Why, then, in the past millennium, have there been so few opportunities to facilitate the elevation required for return? Moreover, as each individual’s capabilities and karmic conditions differ, and as they exist across distinct temporal phases—the Red Yang and Green Yang periods—those who have been guided to return have already descended anew to carry out their transformative missions.
This convergence of time and space has facilitated the descent of all the sages, buddhas, immortals, and deities from the "Blue and Red Suns" to return and assist humanity. They have fully descended into the human world during this cosmic cycle to make amends. In response to the era shaped by modern technology, they have "borrowed" over two million highly advanced technological talents from extraterrestrial civilizations to descend and guide the Earth's planetary system.
Fundamental Interactions Across the Cosmos
Regarding these original souls sent down to Earth, is it truly difficult for them to return from within the Earth's star system? Not so! The true crucial point lies in whether, given the corruption of human nature today and the temptations of this dazzling world, the saints, immortals, and buddhas who were guided to return during the "Green Sun" and "Red Sun" periods can now lead them back to their origins.
Building upon this foundation, how are the four billion Buddhas and disciples to be guided back to the cosmic stars? This is precisely the sacred mission that must be undertaken from this era onward, regardless of whether it concerns: the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the Eastern Lapis Lazuli World, the Southern Celestial Realm, the Northern Purple Tenuity World, as well as the Heavenly Realms of Haotian, Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Universe.
This serves as the primary cause and action for guiding and returning the four hundred million Buddhas' disciples who descended to the Earth's star system during the Green Yang and Red Yang periods, in order to nurture the future technology of the Earth's star system and facilitate their growth and return, all achieved with utmost sincerity.
Furthermore, regarding the future interstellar traversal of the universe, there is a guiding role of considerable correctness. This involves the "borrowing of talents" from the heavens, descending into this cosmic cycle to expand the technological karma of the Earth's star system. Moreover, a reciprocal action of return and restitution is essential for it to be deemed proper.
The azure and crimson suns guide the passage, descending to transform the care of four hundred million Buddha's disciples.
Making a covenant with Heaven above,  
Forge the path of technology in the future.
Borrowing two million in funding to expand the perspective of earth science.
How to return without falling back—  
This is the true path to guide the Way home.
This verse! It is shared among all sentient beings and original spirits for mutual encouragement; it verifies the descent of future technology, faithfully documented within the Dadao series. It also addresses how, in the future, four hundred million Buddha's disciples and over two million highly skilled talents from extraterrestrial star systems will return. Through the future Pure Land in the human realm, they will create the 21st-century Lotus Buddha Pure Land world.

The Great Dao, revered in the heart, is now completed in writing,  
Entrusted to the heavens, its virtuous intent is true.
The cause of revering the heart is even more sublime; the great path of the Lamp-Lighting is ascended once more.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Patriarch of our lineage between humanity and heaven, the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dipaṃkara, has descended to compose this work. The thirty-sixth chapter of "Chongxin's Great Dao" — "The Cosmic Ascension" — is expounded with considerable depth. How will it guide the future of the Chongxin lineage? How will it lead the way for return and salvation?
To bestow upon the future, one must first undertake the great sacred task. All that Chongxin has accomplished over these years has been affirmed and praised by the Heavenly Realm. Faithfully completing the volumes of the Dadao series one by one, each book encompasses different extraordinary affinities, allowing Chongxin to author them. This growth stems from a steadfast commitment to the duties entrusted by the Heavenly Realm, which is the primary reason!
◎ Pure Heavenly Spirit – this is the eighth consciousness of human beings and all sentient beings, and it is further distinguished by various names: Tathatā, Mind-King, Tathāgatagarbha, among others. How, then, should one purify oneself? That is, the distinction between "purifying defilement and defiling purity, or between impurity and defiled impurity" will form the boundary between "ascension and descent" in the future.

Postscript I
Postscript to the Works of Yi Zhi
To elevate the potential for greater growth within a spiritual lineage, it is precisely through the karmic connection with the works of the "Dadao Series" that sentient beings and primordial spirits are provided with the true ladder of return to the Great Dao. This return is realized and clarified through one's own personal experience and understanding.
To truly become a sentient being with an original spirit, all growth transcends karma and achievements. Moreover, it is through the descent of divine grace from the heavens upon the vast world, along with numerous testimonies, that one can comprehend the unfolding of heavenly virtue and grace in the universe.
Postscript One: Congratulations
It is precisely through the unique blessings bestowed by the Hall of Reverent Heart, decreed by the divine, that the accumulated causes and conditions for growth are granted to all sentient beings. This enables them to truly realize and embody the guidance of their own "mindful consciousness," fostering growth and elevation for all living beings in this cosmic cycle.
With numerous clear testimonies, one can truly obtain the sustenance of heaven and earth. By relying on the grace bestowed by the Heavenly Creator upon all sentient beings and original spirits, it is possible to attain enlightenment and achievement in this very lifetime, enabling growth and eventual return. This is the true nature of reality!

Postscript Two: Congratulations
In the authentic transmission of the entire series of the Dadao Celestial Texts, sentient beings and all spiritual souls are enabled to elevate their wisdom and accumulate merit, while also empowering the sentient universe with the true driving force for ascension and return to the origin. This is bestowed upon all beings of heaven and earth for their growth and elevation.
It is to enable sentient beings and original spirits to understand the fundamental role of their own growth and learning, so that they may realize that in all human worlds, those who serve as sages, immortals, Buddhas, or deities must be able to comprehend the difficulties and obstacles they encounter, as well as where they originate!
Postscript Two: On Growth
To elevate the foundation of all primordial spirits existing within the Earth’s star system, and to achieve genuine growth in the overall origin of the Great Dao—this is what is truly authentic. For all sages, immortals, and buddhas in the human realm who seek to ascend within the human world, it is essential to rely on the regulatory and managerial conditions established by heaven and earth. These conditions serve as the basis for weighing ascent and descent.
It is the unveiling of all celestial secrets never before recorded in the annals of heaven and earth, descending to manifest the causes and conditions for the genuine elevation of sages, immortals, and buddhas across the cosmos. Most are hindered only by the obstacles of five centuries of merit, yet it is essential to transcend into the boundless freedom of the Wuji, the Void, and the celestial realms of the universe. This is the journey.

All growth of the mysterious and wondrous
Regarding the very nature of a destined opportunity and affinity, it serves as a path for growth and learning. In the world of sentient beings, whether they are sages, immortals, Buddhas, or all original spirits, this principle remains the same. Furthermore, when viewed from the perspective of the Earth's star system, it represents the boundary between ascension and descent. Often, what is lacking in both sides emerges, leaving one unable to comprehend what the future path holds.
It becomes exceedingly difficult to have a genuine goal to practice, and this is precisely the obstacle that prevents the sentient beings and original spirits from being elevated. If one merely knows about existence within the Earth's star system, it is fundamentally hard to comprehend that there is still a greater cosmic star system, which is the collective source of all beings' descent. It is essential to return to and transcend it in order to attain true reality!
The Universe of Sentient Galaxies
It is about how all primordial souls, upon descending to their respective birthplaces, transcend their original foundations, thereby granting them a true basis for learning and growth. After descending to the planetary systems of Earth, how then can they achieve a thorough understanding and awareness of their original homelands? This applies without distinction to humans, deities, spirits of the departed, and all the myriad sentient beings.
How can one return to the original foundation? It is essential to thoroughly comprehend and construct based on the authentic teachings within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" in order to effortlessly return to the land of the original foundation. How then should one proceed? How should one act? Moreover, how can one achieve transcendence? It is through accumulating step by step that one attains accomplishment!

The sage guides mortals back to their destined path.
Guide to the Reader
I. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: Connecting the karmic origins of all works such as "The Great Dao Emptiness," "The Great Dao Infinity," and "The Great Dao Haotian" to foster mutual growth. Regarding all sacred duties and missions of the Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang, it is after the promulgation of "The Great Dao Reveres the Heart" for the benefit of the world that the true opportunity for development and propagation can genuinely unfold.
II. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: The construction aims to elevate the sages, immortals, buddhas, and deities serving in the mortal world beyond the obstacles of five hundred years of merit; granting them the ability to transcend through the ages, aligning with the true conditions for return and reliance, and fully comprehending how the great virtue and grace of the universe's void and the Wuji unfold!
III. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: The causes and foundations provided enable sentient beings and original spirits to realize their own mistakes. If one seeks the aid and mediation of celestial beings and buddhas, what mindset and actions should be adopted to work in harmony with them, mutually assisting in eradicating one’s own errors, while also preventing the mediating celestial beings and buddhas from becoming entangled as parties in the conflict? This approach allows both sides to fulfill the causes and conditions for a complete resolution.
IV. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: The constructed causes and conditions are to address the retribution of sentient deceased spirits, enabling both assisting immortals and Buddhas and the beseeching sentient beings to achieve mutual fulfillment for all three parties. Furthermore, regarding the karmic obstacles created by one's own ignorance, it is through educational and cultural courses that they are reformed and dissolved, thereby genuinely elevating one's own growth.
V. The Great Way Reveres the Heart: This precisely manifests the interpretation of the virtues and blessings of heaven and earth, granting all deities, Buddhas, and students of Revering the Heart the ability to understand. As future world technologies advance, how should one act and what should one do? It is about being the master of oneself in the present moment, rather than blindly becoming one’s own slave. Such self-inflicted cruelty leads to downfall, and it is precisely in this way that obstacles arise, hindering the elevation of sentient beings.
VI. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: This reveals the sacred duties of the future for Revering the Heart, outlining how to align with the virtuous grace of heaven and earth to contribute to the creation of the future "21st Century Lotus Buddha Pure Land." It is a step-by-step, footprint-by-footprint process, offering genuine benefits to oneself and all sentient beings. It also elevates the necessity of integrating body, mind, and spirit to enhance the standard of living, while harmonizing with the overall cosmic resources to achieve transcendence.
VII. The Construction of the Great Dao’s Reverence for the Heart: It enables sentient beings to clearly understand what they lack and how to adjust their "mind, thoughts, and consciousness" for growth and learning. Through the construction of these karmic conditions, which pave the way for the future, one can thoroughly realize the experience of "illuminating the mind to perceive one’s true nature, attaining enlightenment and fruition." Furthermore, it allows the students of Reverence for the Heart and the original spirits of truly virtuous beings to mutually benefit and transcend together.
8. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: As has been faithfully recorded and completed in writing, for the sentient beings of the future, how to guide the four hundred million Buddha-disciples once delivered by the "Green and Red Suns" in ancient times—all of whom have now descended again into the human world—and how to create the opportunity for their return and reunion, is verified in this cosmic cycle through the provision of various karmic opportunities. Moreover, there exists a fundamental method for genuine return and transcendence.
IX. The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: It is precisely this that guides sentient beings and primordial spirits to achieve the true return to the great karmic affinity of the cosmic star systems, manifested through the construction of thought. This great karmic affinity can be realized in one's own learning and growth; otherwise, would the four billion Buddha-children in the human world below continue to wander through birth and death in the six realms of reincarnation? Certainly not! This is the elevation of the "spiritual seed cause" through the virtuous grace of Heaven, purified and manifested in creation.
Ten, The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: Through the verification of high-tech civilization QNA, it truly bears witness to the technological civilization for sentient beings, serving as a "borrowing of talents" for the planet Earth, fostering research, development, and creation within the technological civilizations of the cosmic galaxies across the great universe. It genuinely propels the Earth's star system toward becoming a developed interstellar entity, further manifesting the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Realm, truly elevating and surpassing the technological civilization of Earth's star system.
Eleven, The Great Way Honors the Heart: As the completion and submission of the work approaches, for those who contribute through writing, sponsoring printing, distributing, and preaching, the heavens will weigh their merits and bestow blessings of fortune, prosperity, longevity, wealth, nobility, and virtue. These rewards are granted in return for their diligent support and efforts, providing future opportunities for the energy body. As the ancient saying goes, "To have good descendants, first accumulate virtue." Such virtuous grace is rooted in one's own energy body, embodying true authenticity!
Twelve, The Great Dao Reveres the Heart: Having completed this work, the eighteenth volume of the Great Dao series will soon commence. It is hoped that all sentient beings can clearly understand the benevolent grace of Heaven and how to guide these descending Buddhas and disciples to return and transcend. Due to the urgency of the times, it is essential for all sentient immortals, Buddhas, and beings in the mortal world to take the goal of guiding through karmic connections, enabling genuine growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Thirteen. It is by each individual's own will that they are received, and it is through their own will that they achieve the perfect transcendence. This is precisely the sacred duty and mission before the Three Dragon-Flower Assemblies. Otherwise, if we wait until the time of the Three Dragon-Flower Assemblies to guide their return, I fear that by then, many Buddhist disciples will have already been lost in the present moment. This is not the fundamental original intent of Heaven, which hopes that all may truthfully return and transcend!
The Boundless Void, the Primordial Qi: The Sage of the Void Descends to Establish Precedents for Mortals.

We sincerely appreciate everyone's companionship in the creation of this work. The preface and introduction of "Da Dao Chong Xin" are dedicated to constructing the sacred mission of the Chong Xin lineage for the future of the Great Dao, allowing each individual to grow, learn, and benefit from it. It is our hope that this will truly elevate and transcend one's own being.

The intention behind the preface and postscript is hereby revealed, as the Living Buddha Ji Gong ascends the platform in accordance.
The Noble Path of the Heart has been completed,  
The time has come to present the sacred text of the Great Dao.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the supreme beings from the upper realms, including the Primordial Heavenly Lord, the Ancestor Hongjun, the Mysterious Supreme Being, and the Void Supreme Being, have descended to compose the "Preface and Introduction" for the work *The Reverence of the Heart in the Great Dao*. This is intended to elevate and nurture the sentient primordial spirits.
Furthermore, to the divine beings and disciples of the Chongxin Sect, truly establishing what has been accomplished by the Great Way Chongxin clarifies how the sacred duties of the future path will grow! How should one act and proceed in the future? Only by aligning with the requirements of all sacred duties along the path, cooperating with the guidance of the immortal and Buddha teachers, and striving with human effort to promote and spread it throughout the universe and the world.
The calamities of the sentient world have already arrived, and the future holds even greater terrors. Everyone must be mentally prepared. Even the immortals and buddhas feel profoundly helpless. Those who can be saved and those who can be transformed—the heavens have long made arrangements. Whether one is "doomed within the calamity" remains an unknown.
Do not develop a negative psychological reaction towards such calamities. It is necessary to view everything with an ordinary mind, accepting that life and death are predetermined and letting them come and go as they will. Only then can one avoid creating insurmountable obstacles and troubles. Do you understand?
Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year, the year 2005 in the Gregorian calendar, where everything can grow and flourish! There are no classes tomorrow evening—could we perhaps come together to achieve completion and fulfillment? It truly depends on our own efforts! The Zen insight that dispels confusion will unfold in its own time. Let us all join forces to guide sentient beings with good karma and welcome new, vibrant energy into the ranks of Chongxin!
Inquiry: What is the connection between the Mysterious Supreme Being and the Void Supreme Being, and in what ways do they differ?
Sacred Revelation: Firstly, both the Supreme Mysterious Sage and the Supreme Void Sage are ancient celestial beings, as well as Buddhas and immortals of the same era, possessing equal energy and spiritual attainment. One has manifested in the human world at present, while the other had already manifested in the human world during the previous one or two cosmic cycles. However, in this current cosmic cycle, there is no karmic cause for the latter to manifest.
II. The celestial Buddhas and immortals from the ethereal heavens have descended to Chongxin for the first time in sixty thousand years, manifesting in the human realm as guiding deities of education and culture. They have also bestowed the vastness of the cosmic star systems within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," enabling modern beings to comprehend the great mysteries of the universe. This serves as genuine reference material and spiritual nourishment for all sentient beings, offering fresh insights and writings for the flourishing of future technological civilization.

All other deities, Buddhas, disciples, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Institute shall line up in order to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of etiquette.

The Sacred Decree of the Supreme Mother of the Wuji proclaims:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, offering to the sentient beings of the mortal world a curriculum of elevation, education, and enlightenment. This bestows upon the earthly realm a rare and profound affinity, providing the myriad spirits throughout the vast cosmos with a genuine source of nourishment for their advancement. Through the growth and refinement of goodness in the human world, they may thus mature and learn.
For all sentient beings who descend to the mortal realm, there is an opportunity to ascend and transcend. Moreover, there exists a great celestial ladder of the Dao, enabling a return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm of Truth. This is precisely the construction of the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books" by Chongxin, faithfully authored and resolutely accomplished. It further allows all mortal beings to ascend and transcend: to the Wuji and the Void Celestial Realms.
Mother's heart is deeply comforted, for in Taoyuan, Taiwan, through Mother's personal sacred decree—the revered Chongxintang was commissioned to compile and publish the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This is to manifest Mother's compassionate grace and virtuous blessings upon all souls in the vast world, providing them with abundant spiritual resources for growth, transcendence, and return. It is Mother's heartfelt hope that this endeavor will be accomplished.
Today marks the completion of the seventeenth volume of the Dadao series—the full compilation of the Dadao Chongxin. This is truly an honor worthy of great recognition, as it embodies the true benefits imparted by all deities and buddhas of Chongxin through their virtuous influence and teachings in the world, representing genuine authenticity.
The mother's heart is gratified that all deities and beings have striven with reverence to accomplish this task. It is fitting to reward all enlightened beings and children, inscribing these meritorious achievements upon the celestial register. These shall be integrated and richly bestowed in the future, and through the efforts of all enlightened beings and spiritual children, a great karmic opportunity shall arise for the creation of the next volume.
By the decree of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Immortal Lady, two vessels of celestial nectar are bestowed upon the Chongxin Hall, to be added to the tea, as a reward for the devoted efforts of the divine beings and all children in their writings. This is also to encourage greater achievements in the future, fulfilling the expectations of the Mother’s heart, and to widely guide and transform all original spirits, fostering goodness, growth, and elevation, thereby achieving the efficacy of transcendence and return.
The Imperial Mother of the Wuji issues a sacred decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Academy of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
At the hour of Xu on the twenty-fourth day of the Jia month in the year of Jiashen under the Celestial Cycle.
The imperial decree has been fully proclaimed! Congratulations to all deities, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin for earning the greater honor of recording the accumulated foundation of the next volume, which will continue the imperial decree. Congratulations! Congratulations! We shall now return to Li Tian to deliver the decree. Farewell, everyone!
Teaching the doctrine through the interplay of void and form,  
The person of superior virtue achieves tangible accomplishments.
The esteemed Chairman of the Chongxin Taoist Hall ascends the platform to gather with all virtuous companions.
Aha! Today marks another grand sacred task for Chongxin to accomplish—specifically, the completion and submission of the seventeenth volume of the Dadao series, *Dadao Chongxin*. This sacred mission serves as a true great affinity for all divine beings, Buddhas, virtuous disciples, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Dadao Academy, allowing them to receive the virtuous grace descended from the Heavenly Realm.
Furthermore, this form of endorsement represents the trust and affirmation bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the Chongxin lineage, signifying its authenticity and truth! Having just reverently received the Sacred Decree of the Wuji in the hall, we now continue to welcome the Jade Edict of the Haotian. By its command, the immortal maidens of the Void Spiritual Assembly, the Void Spiritual Intention, and the Void Spiritual Communion from our lineage are dispatched to reverently receive the Jade Edict of the Haotian twenty li beyond.
By decree of the original lineage, the Infinite Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta, the Infinite Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, and the Infinite Goddess of Childbirth are dispatched to respectfully receive the Imperial Edict ten li beyond and escort it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, students, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Infinite Great Way shall line up in formation to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum.
Imperial Envoy bearing the sacred decree descends,

Yue Wumu the Prince came to issue the imperial decree,

The Great Heavenly Lord of Jade, the Supreme Emperor of Mystical Divinity, decrees:
As the supreme sovereign of the Nine and Five, I observe that among all religions under heaven and earth, few possess the genuine capacity to benefit and achieve true efficacy in education and transformation, thereby receiving sacred duties and missions. Now, Yichi Chongxin Hall has faithfully completed the compilation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" and remains steadfast in its ongoing work, earning the affirmation and praise of the Heavenly Realm.
By the sacred decree of Chongxin Hall, the completion of the seventeenth volume of the Great Tao series, "The Great Tao Reveres the Heart," a celestial book, is truly commendable. Moreover, it faithfully disseminates the administrative core of the Haotian Divine Order into the human world, assisting all deities, immortals, and buddhas in the sentient realm to ascend, return, and transcend through thekarmic affinities of the Great Tao. This indeed qualifies as a pillar of talent for the Heavenly Realm, and it is profoundly genuine.
My heart is deeply comforted. It is an extraordinary and profound affinity that Chongxin Hall has been able to faithfully construct and complete the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." Moreover, understanding the functions of all such conditions, I recognize the unwavering dedication of all divine beings and students of Chongxin in fulfilling their duties and missions entrusted by Heaven. Such sincere devotion truly deserves commendation.
All deities and Buddhas of Chongxin have been granted three additional levels of merit, while Chongxin students have each been awarded three thousand great merits as rewards, which is indeed fitting. By taking sincerity and faith in Heaven as the foundation, and through the science and technology of the universe, the well-being of all beings in the future will be achieved. This must be initiated and accomplished by the "Confucian Sacred Teaching" in constructing the 21st century. This is truly commendable and worthy of celebration, deserving both praise and affirmation!
The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the Mysterious and Exalted Supreme Deity, issues the Jade Decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, The True Heart School of Buddhism, The Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, The Chongxin Hall Bestowed by Divine Decree.
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month in the year of Jiashen, during the hour of Xu.
Alas! That the Confucian tradition and sacred teachings could encounter such a celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity is precisely the result of the determined efforts of all revered deities and Buddhas of Chongxin, together with the disciples, to bring it to fruition. Congratulations! Congratulations! The Jade Decree has been fully proclaimed. Let us swiftly return to the Heavenly Court to deliver our report. We shall meet again in due time to trouble you once more. Farewell, everyone!
Devotion of the heart builds and fosters growth,  
The presiding Lord Wénhéng Shèngdì manifests his glory.
All have completed the Book of Heaven,  
Once more affirming its propagation.
All Saints and Buddhas, students, and virtuous ones, along with the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, we give thanks for the Sacred Decree bestowed by the Wuji Imperial Mother, who has granted rewards to this hall. We also reverently express gratitude to the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven for conferring merits and honors as recognition. For all the deities, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin, this marks a step of growth and a path of return, which is truly substantial and genuine.
To affirm the karmic connections of all works, rewards for merit are granted in full to those with full attendance, halved for those with less than two-thirds attendance, and so forth. It is hoped that this will further promote and propagate the continuation of the Dadao series, particularly the eighteenth volume of Chongxin. The next phase will involve receiving the decree to commence the eighteenth volume of the Dadao series, so early preparation is essential. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
