Dadao Series — Book 19
English Edition · 大道光明
◆ Prefaces ◆
The nineteenth volume of the Dadao series classics, *The Radiance of the Great Dao*, is blessed by the nurturing grace of teachings and virtues. It serves as a pursuit of blessings, offering to all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children across the vast universe and earth the karmic foundation to attain blessings for future generations. By aligning with the virtuous blessings manifested by the Great Dao, it enables abundant growth and learning within the human world.
To achieve the welfare that both oneself and future generations depend upon, and to guide the human world toward a bright and promising path; it is by relying on the Great Way as the foundation for existence, and through various causes and conditions, that one can understand: it is precisely through actions taken for oneself and for all beings that this is realized. If such efforts cannot achieve full efficacy, the results will be greatly diminished.
The key lies in the very foundation of educational and cultural curricula, which should enhance the functions of education and moral cultivation. Only by mutually fostering the blessings and protection for future generations can we bring about abundant fortune for them to draw upon. Such blessings are accumulated by our predecessors and represent the hard-earned fruits of our elders and ancestors.
Every sentient being and spiritual child of Buddha is nurtured and educated by their human parents, inheriting all the blessings and misfortunes passed down from their ancestors and elders. Moreover, through the diligent efforts and accumulated contributions of their forebears, the Great Dao is made manifest. This embodies the principle that "one generation plants the trees under whose shade another generation rests," benefiting all of humanity.
From this, we can understand that our present situation is just the same: it is only through the collective efforts we diligently invest now that future generations will be able to enjoy the blessings and virtues of this legacy. Consider the process of composing the Chongxin lineage texts—it is precisely the same! It is through the diligent efforts of all the celestial beings and Buddhas who participated in this work that future descendants can come to grasp this great opportunity.
Thus, one can easily comprehend all the revelations of the divine will and understand what the future world will be like. Furthermore, the sacred texts of Confucianism, composed in the past, have been primarily structured around the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Principles and Eight Virtues." For over two thousand years, this framework has consistently served as a means of moral cultivation and transformation, making it difficult to alter or renew its application in guiding contemporary thought.
Thus, it becomes clear why in the current era, the "Sacred Gate of Confucianism" has declined: it is the result of both the influence of time and space and human factors. Moreover, the technological civilization of today has abandoned the functions of all past educational and cultural curricula. This is a helpless and sorrowful admonition from the Heavenly Lord to all the original spirits and Buddha-children of the vast world!
In the present era, while the Confucian sacred hall compiles its works, it is also granting the "True Buddha Heart Sect, the Imperial Decree Chongxin Hall Lineage" the authority to uphold new methods. To elevate the growth of thought structures and achieve further advancement and transcendence, it is essential to initiate this through one's own efforts. This is because the Confucian sacred system has declined to this day—what more can be done?
This decline lies in the fact that, from the perspective of Heaven, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains have been delayed by the Confucian system from the time of the Yellow Emperor to the present. How, then, can the transformation of the Confucian system be realized? It will be achieved through the creation and advocacy of future technological civilization, making it easily comprehensible to all sentient beings and original spiritual Buddhas.
How can one integrate the "body, mind, and spirit" within oneself? It is essential to achieve this union of the three, sowing the seeds of causes and conditions that have never been expounded since ancient times. This allows the future technological civilization to be applied to the present energy body, thereby enhancing the growth and learning process.
This also establishes a well-organized framework and regulations for the Confucian sacred tradition. Not only does it pave a bright path for future generations through guidance and cultivation, but it also brings immense blessings to descendants that extend beyond the Earth's star system. These blessings can reach across the entire cosmic galaxy, fostering interconnectedness and mutual communication among all.
At present, technological civilization is just beginning, and everything is still in the process of exploration. Therefore, it is not yet possible to fully and accurately comprehend the essence of the entire cosmic galaxy through future technology alone. It is necessary for the works of divine texts and technology to complement each other, and this will not deviate from the great opportunity of mutual assistance.
Furthermore, mutual assistance means that a light arrives ahead of time to transcend. It is not merely about relentless research and creation, for if it were so, one would inevitably encounter numerous setbacks, bottlenecks, and difficulties. This is not the true path that light ought to follow in its journey. To achieve fulfillment in the human world, it requires the functional role of humanity and all living beings to pass through this crucial stage.
Only by applying the way of human existence can one achieve elevation. In the present moment, if you pursue the advancement of technological civilization, do you feel as if you can never catch up with its surpassing progress? Consider the computer systems of the human world: early computers already pale in comparison to today’s, and future computers will be even more sophisticated and transcendent!
Furthermore, the knowledge you are currently studying cannot keep pace with the leaps and bounds of technological civilization, which is systematically perfected day by day. Although it is said that the Heavens have borrowed over two million high-tech talents for research, development, and creation, bottlenecks are still encountered. Only through continuous growth and advancement can achievements in invention, research, and creation be realized.

## Chongxin Chairman  Wenhang Holy Emperor
July 8, 2005, the third day of the sixth lunar month (Friday), Year of Yiyou
With unwavering diligence and courage, without slack or neglect, steadfast in purpose to achieve, bestowing longevity upon the world, and attaining the ultimate return to perfection.
All human beings are perpetually ahead of your current level of thought and understanding. This, in turn, presents an opportunity for growth in areas where you are lacking or deficient, enabling genuine development in accordance with the virtues and blessings manifested by the Great Dao. Furthermore, as technological civilization advances the world as a whole, you too, in the present moment, cannot afford to miss the conditions for such growth.
In the trajectory of future technological civilization, firsthand information will become available to clarify what has long been understood in its entirety. This is presented through this work to address the gaps in your understanding of contemporary technological civilization. Since you are not "borrowed talents" in high technology, you will not engage in "research, invention, or creation."
This kind of causal condition can easily penetrate the technological civilization of the future. You already possess firsthand information to understand this clearly, and have long known that the future will manifest truthfully. It is precisely because of the celestial immortals and Buddhas who have endured hardships, descending to compose the "Dadao Series Classics," that the overall causality of the 21st century has been unveiled.
However, if even a single lesson is missed, there is a risk of overlooking many revelations of divine will, which are intended to aid and elevate all original spirit disciples of the Buddha. This is the framework for growth applied by technological civilization, precisely because it aims to guide and ferry the vast multitude of "over four hundred and two million" original spirit disciples of the Buddha back to transcendence and return.
This great Dao, descending into the mortal world through predestined affinity, has thus been sought for over thirty years. Through the assessment and selection of all leaders of religious sects in the human realm, only a few have been found to possess such a rare and profound heavenly opportunity. After rigorous screening and evaluation, even fewer have managed to pass the strict, indeed severe, examination by Heaven.
Thereafter, only two were ultimately chosen. After further screening based on these conditions, only one individual was found suitable to practice the transcendent spiritual mind method. This chosen one, endowed with all extraordinary qualities, manifested the heavenly secrets and propagated the Great Dao. It was precisely through the "Imperial Decree Chongxin Hall Ancestral Lineage" that such karmic conditions were fulfilled.
The entire series of celestial texts has been bestowed upon the mortal world. Now, you may carefully reflect upon the present moment: from the firsthand materials at hand, can you grasp and clearly understand the process by which the future technological civilization will be elevated? It is precisely due to this extraordinary and profound cause that the Chongxin lineage has been tested over nine years, enabling it to reach the current conditions.
The cause of "The True Buddha is in the Heart" has manifested as the "True Buddha Heart School" in the human world. Whether it can achieve success depends entirely on how you act and contribute in the present moment. To support the Chongxin Hall lineage, the "China True Buddha Heart Religious Association" has been established to manifest in the human world. This is the great path lineage accomplished by the Heavens.
From this, it becomes clear: how will the overall leader's wisdom be applied? It is precisely through imposing upon you all the bottlenecks, difficulties, setbacks, trials, and slanders of the past that one can witness the true, effective application of wisdom. This outcome is determined entirely by your own actions and conduct.
The completion of "The Great Path of Light" further clarifies the overall direction of the Chongxin lineage's spiritual mission, truly establishing the goals guided by this path. This serves as a model for future generations, enabling the genuine gathering and propagation of benevolent affinities for sentient beings. It is precisely a test of the application, elevation, and fulfillment of wisdom.
Heaven and earth unite in covenant to observe: all existence within the great Dao world relies upon this mortal realm as its foundation. It is through this worldly domain that the process of aligning with the orientation of survival is integrated. One must achieve clarity regarding the course of one’s own desires, understand the conditions required to fulfill them, and simultaneously elevate both the space of one’s material life and the realm of the spirit in mutual enhancement.
These points must first be clarified: what is the fundamental cause that enables such conditions to be transcended? It is to elevate one's spiritual essence, achieving growth, transcendence, and fulfillment. In this process, one should genuinely enhance both "the mind and daily life," thereby harmoniously integrating them to foster genuine personal growth and elevation.
In the vast universe, all living beings and myriad things are considered the main entities. This is because the process of harmonizing yin and yang is fundamentally based on the continuation for future generations. This generational transmission of harmony is realized through the principle that "one generation plants the trees, and the next enjoys the shade." Can the sentient world pass down such experiences to its descendants?
This is a transcendence of DNA and the fundamental principle of eugenics. For sentient beings in the human world to achieve transcendence, it is essential to genuinely elevate their spirituality and standard of living. This means applying the principles of eugenics to human DNA to achieve the transcendence of RNA. Can the world comprehend such extraordinary conditions?
Therefore, the Supreme Deity, witnessing these detrimental genes, must re-engineer and elevate all benevolent qualities within humanity to foster their growth. Observe carefully, for there are already foundational DNA modifications in place to enhance RNA. This is how the Supreme Deity bestows upon the world an improved quality of life, transcending the ordinary.

##Imperial Envoy, the Ancient Immortal of the South Pole
Expanding the Vast Path of the Reverent Heart,  
A New Truth in the Series of Classics.
The universe bestows its virtue upon all living beings;  
Reverently receiving the sacred decree, the rites are intimate.
Respectfully receiving the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven.
Today, the Chongxin Sect has once again reverently received the Sacred Decree from the Wuji Heavenly Mother at the hall, announcing an auspicious occasion. For all the sacrifices, dedication, and diligent efforts made by this sect, it is precisely what the Heavens have observed and affirmed with praise. Moreover, for both oneself and all original spirit Buddhas, this serves as an opportunity to elevate and transcend the "radiance of self-nature," offering immense benefits—truly a most hopeful prospect!
The auspicious moment has arrived. Reverently receiving the Sacred Decree from the Wuji, it is commanded that from this lineage, the Immortal Maidens of Ethereal Void—Lingqiao, Lingyi, and Linghui—shall proceed thirty li hence to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree from the Wuji and convey it to the hall.
By decree, the patriarch of this lineage—the Great Dao Heavenly Venerable of the Void and Silver Pen, the Heavenly Venerable of Void and Golden Pen Who Opens Wisdom, and the Heavenly Venerable of Void and Dao Who Transmits Virtue—are to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji at a distance of twenty li and bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, students, and the cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy shall line up in order to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum.

## Chongxin Great Chairman, Southern Heaven Sovereign, Wengheng Sacred Emperor
The Limitless issues the decree, arriving at Chongxin;  
Before the carriage, serving the Mother, together we welcome.
Xu Feiqiong arrives to proclaim the sacred decree; the Great Dao unfolds nineteenfold radiance.
With reverence, the boundless divine decree descends upon the Chongxin Hall to be proclaimed, as both deities and mortals bow in humble prostration!
Imperial Decree: Commence the Reading
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the celestial realm of supreme bliss, bestowing upon the children of the mortal world abundant resources for their growth and learning, and has also dispatched numerous immortals, Buddhas, saints, deities, and bodhisattvas to descend into the earthly realm, guiding them toward purification and the blessings of virtue. Yet, each time, genuine efficacy and tangible achievements have been scarce, thus causing the Mother’s heart to grieve and weep with sorrow.
Now in Taoyuan, Taiwan, the Chongxin Hall, established by the compassionate decree of the Mother, has been engaged in composing the "Great Dao Series of Heavenly Books" since its founding in the Bingzi year. This work aims to elucidate the great virtues and blessings of heaven and earth, expounding the true meaning of the cosmic evolution. It is driven by the Mother's boundless compassion and conveys the genuine principles, embodying the hopes and reliance that the Mother places upon this lineage.
Now that the Great Dao series of heavenly texts has been completed, totaling eighteen volumes, each volume is grounded in the true principles and truths, thus the Mother's heart is filled with great joy and comfort. With the nineteenth volume of the Great Dao series, titled *The Radiance of the Great Dao*, the evolution of the Great Dao illuminates the light of science and technology, enabling all children in the mortal realm to return and ascend.
By special decree, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoji, the Ancient Buddha of Namo Randeng, and the Ancient Buddha of Nanhai are appointed as the principal immortals and buddhas, with all other exalted sages and buddhas from the three realms serving as supporting immortals and buddhas. Upon receipt of this decree, the compilation shall commence immediately, to be completed and promulgated for the benefit of the world at the earliest opportunity, so that all sentient beings and original spirit disciples may fully achieve their true fulfillment in this lifetime and return to their origin.
In this lifetime, to genuinely ascend and return, transcending the ordinary, and to repay the karmic debts accumulated over many lifetimes within a single existence, truly attaining the religious cultivation that leads to a bright future—this is the utmost hope! Furthermore, to achieve the "attainment of the Buddha's fruition stage," that is, to fulfill the expectations and aspirations of the Mother's heart.

The Southern Continent once again sees the writing of books,  
The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is truly extraordinary.
In the celestial realm, carefree and without worry, the elder descends with the jade decree to announce in the hall.
By Imperial Decree of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, this edict descends upon the Chongxin Hall to be proclaimed. All deities and mortals shall bow in reverence; let no one breach the proper decorum!
The Imperial Decree is to be Proclaimed
Respectfully received.
The Great Heavenly Lord of Jade, the Supreme Emperor of Mysterious Spirit, proclaims the Jade Decree:
As the supreme sovereign of the Nine and Five, I regard all religious sects and lineages across the vast universe as sharing a common origin and purpose, meant to complement and uplift one another. Thus, the Heavens have bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage abundant spiritual resources and nourishment, with the "Sacred Gate of Confucianism" serving as its guiding model and educational mission.
In the current era, the Confucian tradition and sacred teachings can genuinely guide and educate within the system of the sacred path, leading the original spirits of the ninety-two types to return, achieve realization, transcendence, and ultimate fulfillment. This not only enables mutual fulfillment among all temples, halls, and monasteries that seek authorization for their writings but also benefits and fosters integration with other religious traditions and lineages.
Among these, the Taiwan-Taoyuan Yichongxintang lineage within the sect has achieved remarkable accomplishments in authoring the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." These works consistently adhere to genuine principles and truths, highlighting the advancement of technological civilization. This effort greatly promotes and expands the Confucian sacred tradition, bringing both celebration and heartfelt satisfaction.
The Chongxin Sect lineage's series of sacred texts on the Great Path has been completed, totaling eighteen volumes. Each work illuminates the benevolent virtues of heaven and earth, offering exceptional guidance for the elevation and transcendence of the "self and spirit" of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples. Moreover, to guide these beings across, the indispensable true lineage of the Great Path—the "True Buddha Heart Sect"—is precisely this.
I am pleased! To continue, the nineteenth volume of the Dadao series is titled *Dadao Guangming* (The Great Tao Illuminated), a celestial scripture. It is thus that the Great Tao, in its natural spontaneity, nurtures all living beings, and with the luminous heart of principle, the Tathagata accomplishes enlightenment in Jambudvipa, guiding, delivering, transforming, returning, perfecting, and transcending.
It is further hoped that the Confucian tradition and the lineage of sages may flourish across the vast world in the 21st century. The decree is to be implemented upon arrival, with the aim of early completion and promulgation for the benefit of all ages. The principal immortals and buddhas appointed for this task are the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, the Ancient Buddha of Namo Randeng, and the Ancient Buddha of Nanhai, while all other exalted sages and buddhas from the three realms shall serve as assisting immortals and buddhas.
In guiding the multitude of original spiritual beings and Buddha's disciples toward ascension and transcendence into the radiant world, many heavenly secrets have been bestowed as foundational teachings, which truly benefit all of humanity in their journey of return and attainment! This is our utmost hope. Furthermore, merits shall be rewarded according to deeds, to honor the diligent efforts of the authors.

We give thanks for the sacred decree from the Wuji, and bow in reverence to the heavenly edict of Haotian.
All celestial immortals and buddhas join in celebration,  
May the Great Dao bestow luminous light and fulfillment of wishes.
All Saints and Buddhas, students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, we have respectfully received the Sacred Decree of Wuji and the Jade Edict of the Heavenly Court in our hall, which truly affirm and commend all the deities, Buddhas, and students of our Chongxin lineage. It is praiseworthy that we have remained steadfast and unwavering in fulfilling our sacred duties and missions entrusted by Heaven!
Furthermore, in the promotion of the Dharma, regardless of any difficulties encountered, it ensures that all immortals and Buddhas are free from worry and unease, while also affirming the efforts of all disciples. This is truly praiseworthy! Joyful! Congratulations! Commendable! Encouraging! Moreover, in the fifth phase of the Dharma propagation of this lineage, new foundations are already being laid.
It is appropriate that, on the auspicious occasion of the sacred birthday of the Supreme Emperor of Heaven, the Jade Emperor, the Mysterious and Exalted Sovereign, we shall relocate to a new Daoist center. It is hoped that within this new atmosphere, new practices, and new mission, all students will steadfastly fulfill their duties and responsibilities toward Heaven, achieving continuous and repeated accomplishments and merits in spreading and transforming the Dao. This is indeed a source of joy and celebration for all revered teachers.
The Chongxin Sect earnestly hopes that after the relocation of the new temple, the true work of guiding over 420 million sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples will commence, fostering mutual fulfillment. It is hoped that all students of the Chongxin Sect, under the leadership of Patriarch Li Bi and guided by Dean Lin and Hall Master Lin, will accomplish the sacred mission of the Great Path. Such is our earnest anticipation! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell! Let us together pioneer the 21st-century Lotus Buddha Land and ascend to transcendence.

##Southern Heaven Proclamation Heavenly Venerable
August 16, 2005, the twelfth day of the seventh lunar month, Yiyou year (Tuesday)
The teachings of Taoism spread across Penglai,  
The Taoist ancestors, by destiny, revere the heart's alignment.
The Celestial Lord of the Way and Virtue offers a hymn of praise:  
The Great Way shines bright, and virtue should be upheld.
Praise: Introduction
The Grand Dao's Vast Transformation
It is the natural force that nurtures all living beings and all things, and it even manifests in the mortal world to facilitate ascension and transcendence, with the hope of achieving fulfillment within a single lifetime. Moreover, within that lifetime, it aims to dissolve all karmic causes and retributions that entangle, striving through human effort in the mortal world to repay the accumulated karma across countless lifetimes.
It is certain to fully resolve the effects of all karmic causes and consequences. For the original spirits and Buddha’s children among sentient beings in the mortal realm, this presents a profound opportunity to unfold and rely upon all favorable conditions. This is precisely the manifestation of the grace bestowed by Heaven, aimed at enabling the four hundred million Buddha’s children to transcend and return, achieving genuine growth and elevation.
What the enlightened affirm
The great virtue of Dao bestows the creation of evolutionary progress, elevating and transcending technological civilization; thus, all advancements in the mortal world must, within this cosmic era, achieve a technological evolution that can be preserved for the future. Moreover, by bestowing creative virtue upon the vast universe and its star systems, it precisely benefits the growth of all humanity.
Furthermore, it manifests all aspects of light within the human world, enabling all religions of the Earth and star systems to mutually fulfill their reliance on the Great Dao. This is the fundamental policy of the Heavenly Realm. It also provides luminous guidance and promotion to the Yichongxintang, presided over by the Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha, guiding its growth and return.
The Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Its Virtue, descended to bestow this laudatory introduction.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Hall of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month in the year Yiyou, at the hour of Xu.
Aha! Once again, I have come to Chongxin to compose this preface in praise of the Celestial Texts of the Great Tao series, achieving this through the grace and virtue of the Heavenly Emperor. It has been a long time since I last saw my old friends. I am grateful to the Chongxin lineage for allowing us to gather here once more. Everyone has worked hard. Until we meet again!

It is to bestow greater growth and virtue upon the mortal world, through the collective deliberation of the Heavenly Sovereign, the Limitless, the Void, and the Great Cosmos. In the 21st century, guiding over 402 million beings, along with the achievements and transcendence of the ninety-two primordial spirits, is to grant this cosmic cycle the ability to achieve self-evolution and elevation within the human world.
It is precisely through the ethical and moral regulations embodied in the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Anchors and Eight Virtues" that the new methods are implemented to discard filth, errors, and deficiencies. This enables the transmission of fine traditions to future generations through education, and ultimately serves the well-being of humanity—this is the righteous path!
The Radiance of Light
Furthermore, regarding the human world in the 21st century, it is essential to consider how all technological advancements can generate benefits for future generations, allowing the blessings of technology to be widely disseminated. Moreover, for the countless sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be of future generations, it is crucial to attain the realization of "illuminating the mind and seeing one's true nature, awakening and attaining fruition," which represents the practice of transcending fundamental karma within the human realm.
Capable of Unification: The cosmos, the void, the boundless, and all interstellar systems of the vast heavens, through great karmic connections, respond and unite with one another. This not only creates benefits for oneself but also for all original spirit Buddha-disciples, enabling the attainment of all scientific and technological civilizations from the 21st to the 30th century, and achieving the establishment of the Pure Land world of the Lotus Buddha Kingdom.
The Supreme Lord of Heaven, the Great Celestial Worthy of Numinous Treasure, bestows a eulogy in celebration.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Supreme Daoist Court of the Primordial Ultimate, and the Chongxin Hall of Imperial Edicts.
On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month in the year Yiyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of Xu.
Oh! All the venerable immortals have gathered together once more, truly a joyous occasion. We shall then impose upon the Chongxin lineage for a time, to convene and discuss all future endeavors, every construction and shared deliberation, on how to benefit all sentient beings with affection. May there be growth in goodness, elevation, and transcendence!
Episode 7: Passing Down Experience
##The Celestial Worthy of Upholding Righteousness in the Southern Heaven
August 26, 2005, the twenty-second day of the seventh lunar month, Yiyou year (Friday)
The cause of the Three Pure Ones is no small matter;  
The Patriarch descends to this world of suffering.
The Primordial One established the Hall of Reverent Hearts,  
The Celestial Venerable descended to compose this preface.
Preface
The Supreme Excellence of the Great Dao's Radiance
His works! They serve to further perfect the technological civilization of the human world, and they also represent, in the present era, all the extraordinary affinities capable of truly connecting with the divine. It is precisely through the connections of such affinities as Namo Dipankara Buddha, Namo Shakyamuni Buddha, and Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha that this is achieved.
It is accomplished by the "True Buddha Heart Sect - Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall," and within the thousand-year span from the 21st to the 30th century, it brings the future 'Maitreya Pure Land' world from the mundane realm into the present ahead of time. Furthermore, it facilitates the return of over two million scientific and technological talents borrowed from the Heavenly Realm, achieving elevation and advancement.
The Manifestation of the Great Dao's Radiance
Targeting the four billion Buddhist disciples and the ninety-two original spiritual disciples for mutual connection, and borrowing high-tech talents, the true evolution lies within the human world of the Earth's planetary system. By elevating all creations and growth from technological civilization, it can be understood that future technology will become increasingly mature and ever more evolved.
All the leading advancements in contemporary technological civilization are, in fact, the result of collective deliberation among the Great Cosmos, the Void, the Wuji, the Haotian, and the Southern Heaven. They are implemented to enhance the well-being of the human world, further benefiting the living space of humanity, and truly elevating the virtuous blessings of technology for the human realm.
The role and manifestation of the Chongxin lineage is to analyze the entirety of the origins and intricacies of all heavenly mysteries and profound secrets. It aims to provide greater guidance for the future technological civilization of humanity, thereby recreating the technological golden ages of the past: the First Epoch, the Second Epoch, and the Third Epoch. Guiding and achieving this through virtuous influence is the true essence of its nature.
The Preface Descended from the Three Pure Ones' Patriarch, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Court of the Ultimate, and the Chongxin Hall of the Imperial Decree.
On the seventh day of the sixth lunar month, in the year Yiyou of the Tianyun era, during the hour of Xu.
Praise! With unwavering determination, the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect has accomplished the task, faithfully composing each volume of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Texts." To date, the nineteenth volume has been completed. Today, this preface of praise and celebration is formed through the auspicious affinity of the Three Founders of Daoism. Truly, it is worthy of heartfelt gratitude. An old friend is already urging me by my side, so I shall stop here. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Eight: Implementing the Teachings
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
August 30, 2005, the twenty-sixth day of the seventh lunar month in the yiyou year (Tuesday)
From the void, destiny descends to revere the heart;  
The imperial decree is transmitted to guide and lead.
The Celestial Worthy gathers with all today,  
The third cosmic era sees Heavenly Virtue rise.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks yet another grand gathering, graced by the descent of the three great Daoist patriarchs—the Celestial Venerable of the Way and Virtue, the Celestial Venerable of Numinous Treasure, and the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning—along with numerous other celestial venerables, to convene with us at Chongxin. Gathering so many old friends together in one hall is an exceedingly rare affinity, a testament to the radiance of the Great Dao.
Namely, with the Buddha of Infinite Compassion and Light, Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai, as the guiding principle and foundation of all structures, we further expand and propagate the sacred mission of the fifth period of the Chongxin lineage. It is hoped that in the future, favorable conditions and virtuous causes will arise, providing opportunities for growth, elevation, and transcendence for all sentient beings with affection and consciousness. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 9: Spreading Enlightenment Through Education
##Southern Heaven Immortal Dao Celestial Worthy
September 2, 2005, the twenty-ninth day of the seventh lunar month, Yi You year (Friday).
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea descends upon Penglai,  
As the Great Path illuminates the heavens, celestial scriptures unfold.
Promoting transformation across the world,  
Illuminating life with virtuous grace.
A bright life is the foundation of all.
The works of the Dadao series, when viewed as a whole, are precisely grounded in the true principles for dissemination and guided by the virtuous grace of the universe. They not only evolve through the great compassionate grace of the Heavenly Sovereign but also achieve mutual fulfillment through the Void and the Wuji, transcending all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples.
Granting abundant resources for fulfillment, guidance, and elevation, this includes the boundless compassion of the Primordial Heavenly Mother and the profound grace of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Realm, which descend to nurture and accomplish all planetary systems, every sentient being and original spirit of Buddha-nature, as well as all living creatures. They provide integration and refuge, bestowing growth and benefit upon all.
It is only after "lighting the lamp" that the path can unfold, for "lighting the lamp" means igniting the light, illuminating the vast world and the cosmic galaxies. This light can thoroughly illuminate the righteous path through the fulfillment of the Southern Bing Ding Fire, guiding all future sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples toward true return and transcendence.
Light must bring benefit.
The primary essence of ascending through the human world lies in illuminating the earth and the galaxies of the universe with light. Without light, there would only be darkness, for light and darkness exist in a state of mutual opposition. By addressing the errors inherent in both, light can be manifested within the human world.
This allows the multitude of original spirit Buddha children, illuminated by the light, to gain clarity in perceiving all matters. It serves as a guiding light for human existence, further enabling all sentient beings to ascend and grow, fostering a virtuous quality of life and advancing toward a superior living space of higher-level civilized technology.
The role and pursuit of the human world lie in a bright future, and only by illuminating one's own actions with this light can one truly extend the various outstanding functions and benefits to others within the human realm. Moreover, it is through this radiant future that all living beings and Buddhist disciples are illuminated, which resides in every action of existence.
There must first be a primary attachment oriented toward survival before actions can arise. Without light, it would indeed be difficult to truly operate within the vast universe of the human world. This cause and condition reveals that light, for all the original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the human realm, is once again a primary causal body illuminated by its radiance.
A bright life is essential.
Therefore, the human world is oriented towards a guiding principle; without light, the necessity for human survival would be difficult to manifest. Moreover, what humanity relies upon is precisely the radiance of the "Southern Bing Ding Fire," which facilitates the brilliance illuminated by the sun. Without the sun's illuminating brilliance to reveal it, the world would inevitably remain in darkness.
The sentient beings and original spirit disciples of Buddha, with all their gaze, lack the true ability to look directly into darkness, and thus cannot perceive all matters with clarity within it. Moreover, if they struggle to adapt to sentient beings, it will limit the scope of their vision. Under such conditions, how then should they choose between darkness and light?
It is inevitable to incline towards light, which gives all sentient beings and spiritual disciples a direction and action to aspire to and pursue, compared to darkness. This arises from the dynamic energy generated by "light and darkness" in mutual comparison, meaning that being chosen by light offers a greater space for functional action than being selected by darkness.
Sentient beings in the human realm orient their light toward the function of all errors within darkness, which in turn influences their own choices in the human world. It is precisely because there is a light illuminating the human realm that, when compared with the "netherworld," its exceptional qualities become distinctly evident.
Life must have light.
It is by considering all humanity and sentient beings across the vast universe as a collective existence that we define a lifetime from birth to old age and death. In other words, this is measured by the universe itself, rather than using a single human life as the benchmark for a lifetime. The journey from birth to death for each conscious human and sentient being is, in fact, unique to every individual.
If we consider each day as a cycle within the human world, it is indeed that each day is spent within this cycle, rarely able to escape the repetition of daily life. Thus, within each day, there is inevitably an alternation of light and darkness. It can also be said: the moments when the sun shines brightly and when the moon casts its dim light represent the cycle of each day, mirroring the journey of a lifetime.
How can the human world allow for the next cycle of reincarnation? There are far too many next lives to be reincarnated into! Thus, the human world may tolerate evil, allowing oneself to postpone endlessly—how many tomorrows are there? I ask all compassionate disciples of the Buddha, how many yesterdays do you have? How many todays? How many tomorrows? How many next lives?
This is a cyclical interplay of time and space, where actions oriented toward survival mutually fulfill one another: yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Of these three, which day can truly be called an auspicious one, guided by genuine brightness? It is precisely because there is always tomorrow to defer to and connect with!
The Bright Path is necessary to create.
All sentient beings and original spirit Buddha disciples face one greatest obstacle—what is the issue? If tomorrow has already arrived, then today becomes an endless today that can never be fully passed, and there will always be today, as well as this present life. So, how can one grasp and handle "today and this present life" in the present moment, enabling oneself to grow, transcend, and ascend?
Only then can one easily, and without deferring to tomorrow or the next life, continue to advance and transcend oneself! If guided by light, how could one wait until tomorrow or the next life? In doing so, can tomorrow or the next life truly be within one’s own grasp and control?
It is through the human world that true descent and transformation occur. Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, under the illumination of the southern fire of Bing and Ding, can comprehend the radiance of the south. Guided by the essence of fire, the primary causal body of all illumination is precisely what benefits humanity, serving as the foremost reliance on the path of light.
Where there is light shining, one can clearly see all things and the myriad forms ahead. For human beings, this is inherently so. How much more should we value the light that illuminates our own path forward? If there were no illuminated path in life, one would inevitably encounter numerous obstacles and hardships—this is easy to imagine.
Light is beneficial to human survival.
It is quite difficult to know what lies ahead on the path, nor is it easy to foresee whether one's future journey will be illuminated by a bright light. Under such circumstances, one may lose confidence in oneself. Without confidence, it becomes challenging to act with genuine determination in one's endeavors.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world aspire to illuminate human life with light. Observing the present, the advancement of technological civilization in the human world serves as a fundamental force of illumination for all current survival orientations. It provides humanity with the opportunity to benefit and grow upwardly. Is this not the case?
Moreover, from the perspective of the human world, it is precisely the illumination of light that ensures one's path of vision does not fall into darkness. For sentient beings with emotions, this is indeed the case. Similarly, the reliance on technological civilization is rooted in this very principle. How, then, can such technological civilization be manifested on the great path illuminated by light?
Light illuminates the path ahead for all beings.
For the multitude of original spirit Buddhas in this present era, it is easy to walk in the light that illuminates their every action. All deeds, through the radiance of the "Southern Bing Ding Fire," cause this light to shine upon the human world and upon each individual among the multitude of original spirits. This manifests in human affairs and all matters, linking together the chain of all events.
If all beings, matters, and phenomena lack light, they will be influenced by darkness. This condition will affect all their actions and orientations toward survival. Integrating the process of existence in the human world serves as mutual elevation. Which among you is not influenced by light? All species living in the space of Earth require it entirely!
All rely on the function manifested by the radiance of the sun and moon to pave a smooth and bright path for one's own journey forward. It can be said that only when one is fully endowed with the illumination of all light in the phenomenal world of "the eye perceiving form" is reality truly present. If one lacks the merit of perceiving form with the eye, one also lacks the primary causes and conditions essential for one's own existence.
Question: If that is the case, would you yourselves desire it? All may say they do not! The existence of sentient beings in the human realm relies upon the illumination of light shining upon the vast heavens and earth, allowing one to observe the great world manifested by the colors and forms of the human realm. All the myriad phenomena and the dazzling splendor of this world are likewise so—can everyone comprehend this? Not necessarily!
The Great Dao unfolds its luminous aspect, extending throughout the universe and the world.
The first chapter is written to elucidate that the light of life is boundless.
The fire of the south, born of Bing and Ding,  
Flourishes with fullness, virtue stands upright.
The world of glass gleams once more;  
Human bonds are forged by affection's lore.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children! To spread the virtuous grace bestowed by Heaven upon the world, to promote it throughout the universe—the virtuous grace revealed by the Great Dao is precisely the illumination of life. What do you think of this? Thank you all for your hard work and for gathering within the Chongxin lineage to discuss how to promote this in the future. May all be auspicious. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Ten: The Blessings of Wisdom
##Void Ascendant, Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Ascendant Virtue of Humans and Devas
September 6, 2005, the third day of the eighth lunar month in the yiyou year (Tuesday)
The southern heavens, by fate, bestow reverence upon the heart;  
To propagate the Great Way is inherently pure from the start.
The Heavenly Lord today takes his turn among the stars,  
The celestial scriptures are composed as he ascends the platform.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the first chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." It elucidates the path to an enlightened life and will unveil the manifestations of future technological civilization for the benefit of all sentient beings.
It is precisely by expanding and propagating such divine opportunities and auspicious connections that all deities, Buddhas, and students of the Chongxin lineage must unite in heart and effort to promote and disseminate this path, for this is the true way! How, then, can such conditions be genuinely extended? This can be achieved through mutual guidance among your relatives, friends, and fellow practitioners in your surroundings.
Extending further to communities, cities, and beyond... in this way, a positive message can be mutually fulfilled. I wonder if you all desire this? (Answer: We do!) Since you do, then it is essential to strive diligently. Do not worry—this year will surely see great expansion. Moreover, our lineage has already guided and fulfilled over 402 million primordial spirit Buddha-disciples, so it should be quite easy to promote widely!
There are far too many methods at your disposal. If you constantly await the guidance of immortals and Buddhas, it would be more practical to use your own methods to guide others, wouldn't it? If so, then proceed according to your own ways. The immortals and Buddhas will further assist and fully support everyone's efforts to promote and propagate the Great Dao. May all be auspicious. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Eleven: The Path of Light
## Southern Heaven Qi Yang Celestial Worthy
September 9, 2005, the sixth day of the eighth lunar month in the yiyou year (Friday)
All beings in Nanping are like Tathagata;  
Daoji joins in aiding Chongxin's endeavors.
The Ancient Buddha descends to bestow the Book of Light;  
An infinite future path is indeed as it should be.
The future of credit will be fundamentally bright.
Perspective on the Radiance of Life: In all endeavors of the revered heart, it is not only about fulfilling the duties and missions bestowed by the heavens, but also about elevating the original spirits of all sentient beings and Buddha’s disciples in the vast world. Within a single lifetime, one may attain the realization of "illuminating the mind, seeing one’s true nature, awakening, and achieving enlightenment," which will undoubtedly bring growth and benefit.
The manifestation of great virtue and benevolence extends not only to oneself but also to Heaven, the immortals and Buddhas, and all sentient beings and original spirit disciples. To achieve the foundation for accomplishment, return, and transcendence, it is essential to propagate and promote such conditions. True transcendence and ascension represent the ultimate purpose and sustaining force of all human endeavors.
The primary cause of human actions in the world lies in understanding how they shape the future. Once this is grasped, one can redouble efforts in present endeavors. This not only clarifies the process of personal growth and learning through action but also allows the accumulation of experience from learning and growth to elevate one's perspectives.
Unlimited prospects hinge greatly on credibility.
Under such conditions, one should possess genuine clarity and thorough understanding of human principles. Since growth and learning unfold in this manner, it not only allows for the authentic application of such learning and development to daily life, but these very conditions and circumstances also yield beneficial outcomes—precisely as shaped by human choice.
In the human world, one often cannot act solely according to one's own goals. Since the future depends on what one does in the present, one should strive to accomplish each task to the best of their ability. In doing so, one can easily gain valuable experiences of growth and improvement in daily life, from which they will benefit greatly.
This is the true nature upon which all existence in the vast world depends. For sentient beings, original spirit Buddhas-to-be, to achieve a bright future from the human realm, it is essential to rely on their own efforts and learning. Through the accumulation of personal experience, one can attain the genuine conditions for benefit, thereby achieving growth and fulfillment for oneself.
As for how the future unfolds, it truly lies in the efforts one makes to shape it, and the rewards and benefits can be reaped through one's own endeavors. From the perspective of the human world: matters of the future are indeed realized in the time to come. In the journey of future life, will the path be smooth, or will there be many obstacles and troubles?
Good karma arises from the role of sincerity and trustworthiness.
How can this be achieved? It requires the resolve to overcome difficulties and obstacles, unwavering faith to persevere, and the practical strength to carry it out. Only then can the goal be accomplished and success attained. Yet, when sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children in the human world encounter even minor hardships or obstacles, they often retreat in discouragement. What can be done about this?
If one wishes to accomplish something but fears it is beyond their capability, and fundamentally lacks the firm will and perseverance to achieve the goal and put it into practice; if every undertaking were always smooth sailing, how then could the accumulation of knowledge in every detail and circumstance be demonstrated? Sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, what mindset should you adopt when carrying out your tasks?
One can certainly understand what the future holds! This mindset is commonly seen in the human world. One must firmly resolve to overcome all difficulties and obstacles, enabling the implementation of all conditions that depend on the future. This leads to the fulfillment and achievement of all endeavors, revealing how a leader’s own determination and perseverance truly manifest.
How to cultivate the right mindset in action? By observing the behaviors and actions demonstrated, one can easily achieve success! If one remains ambiguous and indecisive, such a mindset fundamentally cannot bear the "sacred mission of the Tathāgata." How then can one speak of shouldering all the duties and responsibilities entrusted by Heaven?
Firm resolve fulfills all promises.
Observe how a matter itself is! Regardless of encountering any difficulties or obstacles, it is essential to see it through to completion and overcome all hindrances and dangers. Such conditions and circumstances, when viewed in relation to one's own future, should appear quite bright, precisely because these conditions are made whole and mutually supportive.
How can one easily achieve such a boundless and bright future? It lies in understanding the mindset, perspectives, and actions to be applied during the process of any endeavor, which ultimately lead to success. As for whether the future is infinitely bright or dim, it is determined and chosen by human factors.
To achieve perfection in this process, it is essential to apply it within the context of human existence and learning experiences. One must consider whether the principle of "trustworthiness" can be implemented in all affairs. This allows for a clear understanding of "how trust itself should be applied." It is the manifestation of a steadfast commitment to the function of integrity.
The bright future ahead is indeed a natural outcome, realized through the entire process. In human affairs, the practice of "trustworthiness" must be understood—it is the enhancement of the role of "faithfulness" applied to "trustworthiness." To uphold "trustworthiness" in any matter, one must also possess unwavering determination and perseverance to achieve it.
A promise worth a thousand pieces of gold is the foundation of achievement.
Otherwise, with the slightest obstacle encountered, there will be a litany of excuses and reasons. One can see that such a person fundamentally lacks integrity—how could they possibly carry out the duties and missions entrusted by heaven? Indeed not! It is essential to have a steadfast will to overcome any difficulties that arise, which is the true embodiment of the word "integrity."
This is the essential necessity for forging a bright future. Through the application and practice of "trustworthiness," one can achieve predetermined goals and reap benefits and rewards. Whether sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples can be competent in this endeavor depends on firmly engraving these two words—"trustworthiness"—in their minds, which is the true path!
This concept: to hold such a view toward "thoughts and consciousness" means that in the process of carrying out an affair, after observing all its details and considering how to extend and benefit from it, it is essential to fulfill every "promise and commitment" without any compromise. This is the necessity for humanity to "honor one's word as worth a thousand pieces of gold"!
One can assess the feasibility of any promise before making it, and if the conditions are difficult to fulfill, one should not readily agree. Once a promise is made, regardless of any difficulties encountered, one should spare no effort to fulfill it, as the essence of "trustworthiness" lies in the faithful execution of promises.
A promise made must be honored with integrity.
How can sentient beings and spiritual disciples be made willing to commit to "credible promises"? By anticipating that such commitments will surely lead to future gains and benefits. This very credibility is key to expanding human connections and karmic ties. In other words, it will also establish, broaden, and promote interpersonal relationships, thereby fostering virtuous and favorable affinities.
In the human world, there is the principle of keeping one's word as worth a thousand pieces of gold. When there is a karmic connection with Heaven that allows for mutual fulfillment, it becomes evident how one should respond to Heaven—what actions to take, how to proceed, and how to achieve the goal. By truly upholding the concept of "trustworthiness," one can genuinely benefit and put it into practice.
It is essential to establish a firm resolve toward a matter, without needing to articulate any reasons or causes for this elevation. It is the wholesome condition universally acknowledged and gladly accepted by all, which also builds the driving force for future achievements. The overall function of this process must undergo the fulfillment of all commitments and promises. Only by implementing it in this manner can one achieve twice the result with half the effort!
To live as human beings, we must have integrity.
It is precisely because the prospects for a bright future are limitless; conversely, if one shirks all causes and reasons and fails to act, how can sentient beings fulfill the promises they have made? It is about striving to perfect a task and adhering to the agreed-upon timeline to demonstrate credibility and achieve completion!
Only by doing so can we create a boundless bright future for all humanity in the vast world. If one adopts an indifferent attitude, it will become the dividing line between success and failure. What do you think? It is essential to understand 'trustworthiness' and to act with steadfast integrity. In doing so, we not only benefit all sentient beings but also benefit ourselves.
A bright life is built on hard work, and promoting integrity yields its own rewards.
Boundless prospects for grand expansion,  
The Dadao series unfolds across the universe.
The Luminous Scripture descends to be inscribed;  
Thus do the sages and buddhas of all beings unfold it.
Step by step, footprint by footprint, building the great future Kingdom of Heaven.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children as mutual encouragement; it elucidates the boundless bright future of the Great Dao. By understanding how to fulfill the promises one has made to oneself, one can truly achieve completion and put them into practice. Hoping for it! Hoping for it! This old monk has once again indulged in a drink today! I have disturbed Chongxin—what does everyone think?
Here are longans and lychees from ahead! Let them bring everyone blessings and increase wealth and prosperity. "Longans add blessings, lychees boost wealth"—I wonder if you all want them? Yes, you do! So full of spirit, then let's share some together! But don't be too greedy, to avoid the opposite effect; everyone has worked hard, farewell!
Chapter Twelve: The Condition of Light
##Southern Heaven Sovereign, Emperor Wenchang the Sage
August 18, 2005, the 10th day of the 8th month in the Yiyou year (Tuesday)
The celestial virtue of the south bestows grace upon the reverent heart;  
Upon the platform of righteous principles, ascent is made with heartfelt sentiment.
The Heavenly Venerable gathers with all virtuous disciples,  
Where trust and integrity are bound to draw them close.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji in his true form, has descended to Chongxin to compose the second chapter. It elaborates on the boundless future by expanding upon the two words "trustworthiness." Are you able to understand the intentions of the immortal Buddhas?
It is precisely because all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, whenever they encounter difficulties or setbacks, tend to come up with numerous causes and excuses. Moreover, they often find it hard to fulfill their duties toward Heaven or to act upon their own commitments and promises. Thus, it is evident that once a promise is made, one must devote all efforts to fulfill it, thereby accomplishing the primary cause and condition of their existence.
All the insinuations today are directed at the newly completed Chongxin Dao Center. Whether it can be finished within the already scheduled date, and whether you can rush to complete the work in just a few days, turning impossible conditions into achievements, is a testament to the commitment and promise demonstrated. This extends to creating limitless possibilities, serving as a genuine test of performance.
It is for you to contemplate; all is left unsaid, ha! ha! ha! If you can accomplish it, you will truly create infinite possibilities—many sacred duties in the future are just like this. If you cannot complete it, it is due to your own lack of skill or inability to reach the required capability. You should then refine and manage yourself within your own profession.
Only then can one truly benefit and gain! The earlier divine teachings contained veiled allusions—I wonder if all virtuous students have grasped them? At times, immortals and Buddhas also employ such circumstances to caution and encourage you, hoping everyone will reflect more deeply. This is how one insight leads to many; from one example, ten more may be inferred. Thank you for your diligent efforts. May you be auspicious and at peace. Farewell!
Chapter Thirteen: The Radiance of the Great Dao
##Void Principle Virtue Guanyin Bodhisattva
September 16, 2005, the thirteenth day of the eighth lunar month, Year of the Yi You (Friday)
Namo, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara descends,  
The True Buddha Heart School presents auspiciousness.
The Third Chapter: The Radiance of the Great Dao  
Navigating the Creation of Well-being for All Beings
Humanity's technological civilization has benefited.
The Great Path illuminates all, revealing that every sentient being, every original spirit and Buddha child, while existing in the human world, is subject to the influence of varying degrees of blessings. This involves cultivating one's own entry into the realm of well-being and ensuring the completeness of virtuous merit. Such actions are essential for one's survival in the human world, serving as a necessary foundation and relying on the manifestation of karmic rewards.
Regarding the vast human world, how can we secure a bright future to create boundless prospects ahead, and how can we base our efforts on the well-being of all living beings across the globe? It involves integrating all beings and things within the Earth's star system, achieving through the creation of welfare. We must understand: how is this process of creation to be realized?
How can we integrate the culture of human survival? It is essential to follow and unify all norms of the human world. Only then can it become clear why, within the human realm, we must create and implement well-being to benefit all humanity. This is precisely about the extent of one's own virtue and merit, which serves as the foundation for future actions.
Granting such conditions to all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas across the vast cosmos enables them to create and integrate their own well-being and blessings. How, then, should one create? And how should one put it into practice? Only in this way can well-being be cultivated, ensuring that all blessings are attained correctly and beneficially. It is precisely through the presence of well-being that one may fully embody the virtuous causes and conditions.
to create blessings and benefits for the world of humanity.
If one can long maintain the causes and conditions of virtuous deeds, many blessings will manifest in the living environment. If the manifestation of blessings is lacking, well-being cannot be fully realized; instead, many adverse influences may arise, and one may even be swayed by them. Therefore, it is essential to cultivate blessings and well-being in the human world. How, then, can these be fully attained?
It is precisely to enable all original spiritual beings and Buddha's disciples to transcend, while also providing them with numerous celestial opportunities and favorable conditions to rely upon. Moreover, due to the abundant merits and blessings created, it becomes possible to allow sentient beings and original spiritual disciples to fulfill the necessities for their own comfortable lives. Such conditions are even more essential in the present era.
Only through the creation of well-being can the direction of future survival be truly elevated. In today's era, when considering such conditions, to achieve this, it is essential for the leaders of the nation to possess a mindset oriented toward well-being. If they lack such a mindset, how can they provide the people with the full enjoyment of well-being?
This is about how a national leader should carry out crucial tasks, and how the well-being, mediocrity, or misfortune of all citizens depend entirely on the leader's mindset and actions. It is precisely by implementing all that is good and virtuous that a foundation for prosperity and welfare is established.
The well-being and happiness of all humanity
Not only does it provide a foundation for survival, but it also offers comfort, convenience, and accessibility. As we now enter the process of technological civilization in the 21st century, the enhancement of well-being creation will undoubtedly allow all sentient beings and spiritual disciples to clearly partake in the profound blessings of enduring welfare.
This virtue and grace must be established through the implementation of rules and regulations. Under such conditions, it can not only benefit all humanity but also extend to the myriad original spirits and Buddha-seeds of other nations. Thus, through the long-term enjoyment of what is established by these rules and regulations, one can not only create virtue and grace but also reap the benefits of blessings.
Among the sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples of the present era, can they fully possess such conditions? There exists a concept, a vision for the great unity of humanity, but how can such actions be realized? By elevating the practice of relying on virtuous grace, one can fulfill the demands of creation, precisely through a system that is both perfected and complete.
If the human world can be elevated, it will bring forth blessings and well-being for the original spirits of all Buddha’s disciples in the realm of existence. This has been the essential concept that all leaders in positions of authority throughout the ages must embrace. If such a concept can be instilled and practiced from a young age, it will undoubtedly manifest benevolent virtues in the future.
Blessings Forge a World of Great Harmony
This is the ideal that a "Great Harmony World" should embody. If we can enhance the systems and regulations, it will inevitably lead to the dissemination of all the virtues and blessings from ancient times. Precisely because such fortune and merit are the fundamental causes for the descent of well-being, can humanity and all beings comprehend this?
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can easily enter into the conditions for survival, thereby long enjoying the implementation of rules and regulations. Moreover, regardless of who administers such a system, from the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, all are the same. It is essential to have a fairly comprehensive set of rules and regulations, upheld for the necessity of the overall existence.
Furthermore, it can elevate the myriad original spiritual beings and Buddha-nature of the future by integrating the "human heart, spirituality, and physical body." In creating blessings essential for human existence—whether for the future or the present—the completeness of all rules and systems can determine how such virtues and blessings are manifested!
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, in this era, must establish a new mindset that embraces the concept of well-being. In truth, this aligns precisely with the vision of society and nation described in the "Book of Rites: Evolution of Rites – The Great Unity." Whether for the religions and nations of "Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam," all must be guided by the genuine creation of enduring well-being as their foundation.
Where there is a world of sentient beings, there is the blessing of virtuous grace.
It is through such conditions, manifested and bestowed upon the present era, that the Heavenly Will demonstrates its virtuous grace upon the Great Dao. This enables all sentient beings and original spirits of the twenty-first century to create blessings and virtuous grace, extending them to all living beings. It is precisely within these conditions and this era that integration and application are achieved.
In assessing whether all effects are manifested or not, it is based on the conditions implemented by the higher authorities themselves! This involves a creation of virtuous grace, further leveraging over two million high-level scientific and technological talents and compassionate original spirit Buddha-children to enhance the well-being and benefits of the human world.
You may ponder carefully: the virtue and well-being created by these "borrowed" high-tech talents—are they not greater, and indeed more refined and elevated, than the blessings enjoyed by ordinary virtuous human beings today? This is precisely the primary causal manifestation of technological civilization, through which growth and transcendence are achieved.
The lineage of the Heart Reverence School elevates precisely these conditions, transforming the creation of blessings into a manifestation. It integrates and engages the three aspects—"human heart, spirit, and body"—further elevating the technological civilization of the human world through creation. As for your thoughts and perspectives, can they be elevated to enjoy growth? This is indeed achieved by learning and growing in the present moment!
Technological civilization arises from causes and conditions, as the divine descends to manifest sentient beings.
Borrowing the power of two million merits to achieve ascension and enjoy the field of blessings.
A bright life holds promise, with boundless prospects for grand achievements.
With reverence of heart, partake in this cosmic cycle;  
Presiding to perfect virtue, its grace stands firm and stable.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement: transform the future that will surely be created under the blessings into practical application. With a mindset of the present era, integrate it into your "eighth consciousness," and you will achieve fulfillment, as well as long-lasting enjoyment and application of blessings. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Fourteen: Benefiting Oneself and Others
## Nine Heavens Director of Destinies True Lord
September 20, 2005, the seventeenth day of the eighth month in the year of Yiyou (Tuesday)
The Southern Heaven Sect stationed at Chongxin Hall,
Promotes the ways of Immortals, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform to gather with virtuous disciples,  
The Great Dao illuminates the celestial scriptures.
Good evening to all Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the third installment has been bestowed by the Great Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Nāmó Burning Lamp. This transmission will bring to the human world opportunities that are destined to create future blessings, precisely initiating the application of future technological civilization, and doing so in a manner that is both truthful and direct, allowing all to benefit.
It is the enhancement, fulfillment, and achievement granted through numerous virtuous conditions. Such supreme qualities of wholesome causes and conditions are fundamentally beyond the comprehension and experience of human beings, so how could they be applied in accordance with reality? These conditions will inevitably manifest truthfully in the technological civilization of the human world in the future.
Chapter Fifteen: The Mutual Support of Yin and Yang
##Living Buddha Jigong of the Void
September 23, 2005, the twentieth day of the eighth lunar month, Yi You year (Friday)
The void descends to the mortal world through cause and condition,  
As the Master reveals and manifests the light.
With a devoted heart, we expand the new sacred ground,  
Where blessings flow endlessly and virtuous intentions abound.
All human beings should have goodness and well-being.
The path of light reveals itself by elevating the foundation of all sentient beings and the four billion original spirit Buddha-children through the radiance of great virtue and grace. By invoking this manifestation of great virtue and grace, it becomes possible to truly guide and uplift sentient beings and the four billion original spirit Buddha-children toward transcendence. This causal condition can be nurtured through the refuge of blessings.
The realm of sentient beings demands that the fundamental function of benefiting all living beings be elevated to a level where it can bring about upliftment, transcendence, and return—for oneself, for all beings, and for the myriad original spiritual Buddha-children among sentient beings. This is what the Heavenly Lord earnestly hopes for and what the original spiritual Buddha-children among sentient beings strive to achieve.
The human world takes this condition as the primary and fundamental pursuit, regardless of whether one cultivates or not. Only by having the goal of pursuing well-being is it possible to achieve the fulfillment of one's own blessings and welfare. This is not only what sentient beings seek and aspire to, but also the aim of all cultivators throughout the vast universe.
Sentient beings possess the fortune of existence.
At the same time, it is also what unenlightened beings aspire to pursue and obtain. How can such conditions be fulfilled? Observe the extent of one's own virtue and blessings, or assess the measure of one's own fortune. Further, discern through one's actions and conduct—not only for oneself but also for all beings, and even for heaven and earth, for all things, such fulfillment can be achieved.
From this, we can see the importance of blessings. Only when one's blessings are sufficient can one truly fulfill the conditions for both spiritual practice and worldly life, as well as all aspects of existence. Otherwise, if blessings are lacking and virtue is weak, one is more likely to encounter trials, difficulties, and various obstacles, hindering the pursuit of one's life goals.
It will inevitably bring upon oneself numerous difficulties and obstacles, hindering one's spiritual practice and the blessings of life, making it hard to achieve peace and smoothness. Whether for beings who practice cultivation or not, it offers a divine opportunity for genuine elevation and refinement. Without such a chance to train and improve, one would lack the accumulation of experience necessary for reappearance.
In the human world, this results in a lack of accumulated experience. If sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples hold such thoughts and perspectives, it becomes exceedingly difficult for them to achieve genuine self-improvement, nor can they easily pursue and accumulate profound blessings. Moreover, without wisdom, they are unable to integrate and transcend the three aspects of their own "heart, body, and spirit."
The grace of the heavens descends to transform all sentient beings.
This kind of obstacle merely leads to mutual cycles of reincarnation in the next life, which again only traps oneself in the pursuit of abundant blessings. That is not what Heaven hopes for. It is essential to understand that undergoing such trials for elevation is, in fact, the fundamental task granted to sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, enabling them to truly ascend and transcend.
Why does the Supreme Heaven act in such a manner? It is to bestow the great virtue and grace upon the world. Without even this basic concept and the accumulation of experience, how can one establish the true wisdom that leads to elevation? If, through the Supreme Heaven’s compassionate virtue and grace, all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can be nurtured and elevated, then there will be a transcendent goal to aspire to.
Furthermore, by dissolving the obscurations of ignorance that come from lack of experience, one truly accumulates the wisdom that descends from above. This is the manifestation of "Heavenly Grace and the Virtue of the Teacher," which, through the trials and tempering of experience, provides the original driving force for practitioners and all beings to genuinely enhance their well-being and creativity, offering genuine cultivators and practitioners the opportunity to grow and learn.
This means that if one can maintain a continuous and enduring state, without discriminating among all living beings in the vast world—whether they are sentient beings, religious practitioners, or others—then the same attitude will extend to all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-nature. Only by not discriminating among all living beings can one truly manifest one’s own inherent nature, thereby dissolving the obstacles of ignorance.
The Life Experience of Humanity
This is the very foundation of the universal grace and virtue; precisely because of the functional conditions at play, genuine experiential accumulation elevates one through practice. This embodies the fundamental function of the "Heavenly Virtue of the Great Dao," allowing sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to personally comprehend the great grace and virtue, thereby experiencing and realizing it through direct immersion.
One must be able to comprehend all deeply ingrained feelings and accumulate the growth that comes from recreating experiences anew. If all parents in the world adopt such a mindset, they can enable their children and others to elevate their wisdom and experience. This is what it truly means to be personally immersed in a situation and to feel it with one’s very bones.
When encountering the same problem again in the future, one will have experience to draw upon as wisdom for growth. This function you possess is precisely the mindset of all parents: to allow their children to learn from each experience, gain insight from each encounter, and dissolve the obstacles of ignorance. In this way, they can accumulate a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Only when it can be applied and function effectively in the human world can one truly bestow great compassion and virtue upon one's own children and others. What do you think? Moreover, by applying these conditions to all original spirit Buddha-children, each individual can elevate their own: mindset, perspectives, thinking, actions, and responses. Under such conditions, one can greatly enhance their knowledge and experience for the future.
Survival requires the accumulation of blessings.
Providing oneself with the opportunity and conditions to stand independently is to accumulate experience for one’s children and descendants, ultimately achieving true immunity against all challenges. When facing difficulties, setbacks, or obstacles, one can easily overcome them. As parents, we can only observe the workings of survival from the sidelines, using this to foster growth.
Such conditions not only create abundant blessings and virtues that benefit oneself and one's family, but also extend these virtues and well-being to future generations. Furthermore, they can bring virtue and benefit to all sentient beings, promoting their welfare. Under these circumstances, one gains a firsthand, immersive experience for one's own children—an impact so profound that it becomes etched into the very bones and heart.
Rather than constantly shielding them from every action, it is essential to understand the purpose of such functions. We must not allow future generations to become mere hothouse flowers; instead, they should be capable of standing on their own. No matter what obstacles or difficulties arise in the future, this is precisely the great virtue and compassion of Heaven. For those who do not understand the hearts of parents in the world, what then is your state of mind?
Can one fully comprehend all the well-intentioned efforts of Heaven and the enlightened beings, as well as their profound care for all sentient beings and original spirit disciples? Why must one personally experience and verify these truths? It is only by immersing oneself in the actual circumstances and feeling them firsthand that one can transform the obstacles of ignorance in this lifetime. This also fulfills the requirements for achieving liberation in this very life, ultimately benefiting the welfare of all original spirit disciples.
Can parents protect their children for a lifetime?
Only through genuine, continuous growth and accumulation can one attain true authenticity; otherwise, if one is sheltered throughout life, how can they withstand the relentless trials and tempering of the outside world? Only then can there be a foundation for survival and genuine elevation. You may carefully contemplate the profound grace of Heaven, which also operates through such conditions of cause and effect.
Even towards one's own children, there must be genuine elevation and transcendence. Otherwise, if they remain solely under one's protection, how could they possibly go through an entire lifetime without facing external trials and tempering? You must carefully and thoroughly contemplate this, for only then can there be true cultivation and elevation for yourselves, for all beings, and for your children. What do you think of this?
It is precisely by taking these conditions, using the human world as the foundation for growth, and making them bearable for sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds, that such trials and tribulations can be transformed into accumulated experience. This allows one to embrace the next experience for further growth and refinement, which is truly the great compassionate grace and virtue.
Children must be taught survival skills.
In other words: this is not about disregarding their survival, but rather about allowing them to undergo trials and training in the human world, equipping them with the conditions and opportunities to stand on their own. This enables them to create their own realm of achievement, which may even surpass what you have accomplished today. This is the fundamental principle of all teachings bestowed by the great virtue and grace of Heaven.
What are the thoughts and perspectives of parents in the sentient world? This function, born of the compassion and virtuous grace of heaven and earth, can further create experiential knowledge and wisdom to be imparted downward. Only then can one truly benefit from the fundamental functions manifested by the Great Dao. May I ask all parents under heaven: how did you yourselves grow and develop in the past?
It is also just like this! After leaving the side of one's parents to train and grow, one gains the ability to stand on one's own, to mature and learn, thereby accumulating personal experience as a foundation for future adaptation and transformation. In one's own life, is there greater enjoyment of blessings than that of one's parents? If so, wisdom has already been elevated, and one should proceed accordingly!
Revering the heart and sacred duties heralds auspicious signs,  
With blessings continuous, fostering growth and prosperity.
Experience accumulates through practice,  
Achieving self-mastery to make one's mark on the world.
By the Dadu Canal, virtue's stream flows wide,  
Moving to new abodes, our morals abide.
Happiness is created by oneself; the great way manifests in benefiting the entire family.
This verse! Together with all sentient beings, the deities and Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, and fellow students, let us encourage one another. Having relocated to a new sacred site, under a new structure, new atmosphere, new mission, and new approach, we welcome over two million brothers and sisters—borrowed souls of sentient beings—to join in this kalpa’s endeavor to guide and ferry four hundred million Buddhist disciples. Regardless of whether it pertains to the heavenly realm or the human realm, all sacred missions are thus! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Chapter 16: Creating the Future, Performing the Script
##The Imperial Lord of Southern Palace and Protector of Blessings
September 30, 2005, the twenty-seventh day of the eighth lunar month, Year of the Yi You (Friday)
A New Atmosphere at Chongxin Taoist Center  
A Fresh and Distinctive Taoist Center
The grace of heaven and the virtue of the teacher bestow blessings,  
Promoting and expanding their benevolent influence far and wide.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks the relocation of the Chongxin Sect to its new sacred site on Bade Qiedong Road, and it is also a most auspicious occasion to celebrate the eternal birthday of the Supreme Celestial Jade Emperor, the Mysterious and Exalted God of Heaven.
Furthermore, the lineage of the Heart Sect, in its educational function of receiving from above and transforming below, serves as the vanguard of the Great Dao. It enables sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to elevate themselves through creation and transcendence, while also generating continuous blessings for the nation and all living beings. This is its true nature.
Congratulations! Congratulations! This year's goal is precisely "Outstanding Excellence," so let us all strive with greater effort! We also affirm the unwavering determination and hard work of Hall Master Lin, as well as the contributions made by the Sect Leader. The two words, "Trustworthiness," are truly worth more than gold and silver. Hail and praise! Hail and praise! May all be auspicious. Until we meet again, everyone!
Chapter Seventeen: Creation and Research
##Void Virtuous Immortal Maiden, Celestial Holy Mother
October 4, 2005, the second day of the ninth lunar month, Yi You year (Tuesday)
The Lord of the South Heaven governs with fruitful achievements;  
The Sage Emperor of Literary Balance descends in auspicious presence.
Grand Chairman of the Chongxin Sect Lineage, the foundation of blessings for future generations.
Human beings are destined to pass on their legacy to future generations.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can achieve realization precisely by continuously transforming blessings into responses, accomplishing through the great virtue and grace. This is to propagate such heavenly opportunities and good affinities, and for sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, they can achieve blessings that benefit future generations with virtue and grace, also accomplished through the established principles and guidelines of Heaven. How should such principles and guidelines be implemented?
It is essential to truly elevate technological civilization, enabling sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to seize opportunities for growth and learning through the technological advancements of the 21st century. This aligns with the predetermined policies of Heaven, which are manifested in the human world to achieve fulfillment. Only by attaining genuine progress and tangible benefits can this be realized authentically.
It is precisely because of the inheritance and dissemination of all traditions that future generations can carry them forward, allowing human civilization to continue unbroken. Moreover, the spread of such virtues and blessings in the mortal world must be advanced through the realm of humanity. The benefits reaped by future generations from this will be the boundless advancements of technological civilization, bringing welfare to all sentient beings.
Moreover, the compassionate grace and virtue of Heaven descend to transform the vast cosmos and earth. This divine blessing allows all living beings across the universe to receive its shelter. It is precisely for future generations, in such times as these, that the advancement of technological civilization in this cosmic cycle will be elevated, holding pivotal significance for the entire human world.
It is essential to leave blessings for future generations.
Under these conditions, it is essential to extend blessings universally, elevating all humanitarian realms through various forms of benevolence. This enhances the comfort of existence and, by spreading and facilitating such causes and conditions, bestows upon future generations more time—precisely for the elevation and transformation of the spirit.
Thus, when considering the "body, mind, and spirit" from the perspective of the human world, it is inevitably difficult to truly enter the state of "illuminating the mind, seeing one’s nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing fruition." How, then, can such conditions be transmitted downward? This requires genuinely achieving the elevation and transcendence of the "body, mind, and spirit" in the present time and space.
If such conditions and circumstances fail to genuinely foster the elevation of "body, mind, and spirit," and instead merely indulge in the comforts and pleasures of survival, it is feared that future generations will also know only how to enjoy life in this world, finding it difficult to truly undertake the transformation of these three aspects.
This situation is precisely the predicament that the heavens above are unwilling to witness. For sentient beings and spiritual disciples of Buddha, who are capable of elevating themselves through various virtues and graces, the heavens above will act with perfection and truthfulness in descending to the mortal world. If one can elevate through the causes and conditions of time and space, it means enhancing the "body, mind, and spirit" to ascend together.
For the growth of body, mind, and spirit
Having been implemented by the administrative departments of Haotian, it is essential to perfect these guiding principles, providing all living beings with the means to ascend and progress. The Southern Heaven undertakes the sacred mission bestowed by the Heavenly Mandate, carrying out the divine tasks of the Great Dao. This not only accumulates blessings for the welfare of future generations, enabling a legacy to be passed down, but also ensures that all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples may truly receive its blessings. Moreover, this legacy will be transmitted to the descendants of all students.
This is about benefiting from true blessings through selfless sacrifice and dedication. Moreover, regarding the future of technological civilization, why should we borrow from other star systems? Over two million high-tech talents will be gathered for creation and research, and the invented products and species will bring even greater benefits to future generations, enabling continuous growth, elevation, and transcendence.
The celestial virtue bestows blessings upon the earth and stars with great fortune.
It is precisely in the space where the "Earthly Obscure Star" can truly benefit, having undergone the stages of: the Void, the Limitless, the Vast Heaven, and the Southern Heaven, that the divine will is directly transmitted to the mortal realm—through the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang Lineage" to elucidate the heavenly mysteries. This further disseminates the grace of the Supreme Heavens into the human world. Such an interconnected and mutually supportive relationship is precisely the direct transmission of this legacy.
To truly understand: there is the administration of the Heavenly Court in charge, regarding all the duties and education of the Southern Heaven, which in the 21st century will bring blessings to the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, and also benefit the entire world. This causal condition, having been directly decreed by the Southern Heaven—the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang lineage" elucidates the heavenly mysteries.
The direct transmission and empowerment of the "True Buddha Heart Lineage" is supremely profound, guiding and liberating all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, without distinction between the "Green Yang" and "Red Yang" epochs, as well as those in the current "White Yang" era. To enable genuine attainment, it is essential to realize the causes and conditions of this time and space, and to construct and faithfully implement the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Anchors and Eight Virtues."
It is also because of its beneficial functions for future generations that sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can truly understand and grow through "illuminating the mind and seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit." They can genuinely comprehend this, and in doing so, develop considerable sensitivity toward the "body, mind, and spirit." This enables them to directly connect with Heaven, the Wuji, and the Void, achieving mutual integration and fulfillment.
There must be creation and invention to bring benefit.
Thus, the technological civilization that the heavens will create in the future will be even more extraordinary and accomplished than the present one. Moreover, a portion of the technological creations from other star systems will be transplanted to Earth, serving as a comprehensive learning process for the Earth's star system. However, this is only just beginning, and everything is still in the process of exploration.
It will still require a considerable period of exploration and learning to achieve complete elevation and transcendence. However, without "borrowing" the expertise of over two million high-tech talents from alien star systems to descend to Earth for research and invention, it would be impossible to truly initiate the creation of a technological civilization.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can truly understand why, in the past twenty years, the technological civilization of Earth's star system has advanced by leaps and bounds—a thousand miles a day—and will accelerate even more in the future, advancing ten thousand miles a day! Moreover, by utilizing the current speeds of sound across all space-time to calculate voyage trajectories, we can directly shorten the opportunity for "relocating and transforming other realms, or transforming and relocating to other lands."
These conditions can truly benefit the Earth and the Underworld Star, precisely by creating and inventing through the current spatiotemporal causes and conditions. You may carefully consider that over the past 20 years or so, the technological civilization of all Earth's star systems, along with the technology of other star systems in the universe, has been interconnected to achieve mutual enhancement and elevation.
By the decree of Heaven, the creation of the Earth's realm was initiated.
This explains the rationale behind the development of Diming Star within the vast cosmic galaxy system, serving as a genuine model for all future cosmic galaxies. Through the process of screening based on such causal conditions, it also evaluates all creative processes involved in the evolution of humanity during the Third Epoch.
It is precisely because of this evaluative function that the "Earthly Nether Star" was originally to be reverted to chaos. However, through the great compassionate grace of two successive Jade Emperors of the Heavenly Court and the collective deliberation of all celestial immortals and Buddhas, the "Earthly Nether Star" was elevated to undergo technological and creative evolution. Thus, over the past century or so, all inhabitants of the Earthly Nether Star have become the greatest beneficiaries!
This is the great compassionate grace of the two Jade Emperors, the Mysterious and Exalted Emperor of Heaven and the Mysterious Vault Exalted Emperor, manifesting to uplift the earthly realm. This manifestation will enable future technological civilization to truly benefit humanity. Moreover, this is the profound grace of Heaven, capable of genuinely elevating the earthly star.
You are precisely the ones who have traversed this cosmic cycle, collectively forming the great predestined opportunity of the heavenly plan to achieve and transcend. You are also establishing for future generations the means to disseminate and manifest the great grace of the Supreme Heaven. In the present era, sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, regardless of any religious sect or lineage, find it difficult to truly comprehend the entire context and origins of this condition.
The teachings of the Chongxin tradition are inherited from the Southern Heaven.
It is precisely the direct descent of divine will from the heavens, manifested through the fundamental lineage of the Southern Heaven—the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang" lineage—that reveals and dissects these celestial mysteries. At the same time, it thoroughly elucidates and demonstrates the entire context and origins of such karmic connections. Otherwise, religions in the mortal realm would scarcely be capable of such revelation and exposition of heavenly secrets.
From this condition, one can understand that the great virtue and grace of the Heavenly Sovereign are directly entrusted by the decree of the Southern Heaven, enabling the true implementation of the "True Buddha Heart Sect." Not only can it bring blessings to future generations, but it also fosters the prosperity of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land. Reflect deeply on this, and consider what will unfold in the next twenty years!
True descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the Central Land will certainly play a pivotal role in the 21st century, facilitating the integration of the vast universe and harmonizing all religions. Through equality and non-contention, they will achieve fulfillment, which is precisely the sacred mission of Shangcang in this era—to genuinely channel the virtuous grace of Shangcang into the human world.
All of you have participated in these conditions, which have been personally verified through the experiences of this primordial kalpa—this is undoubtedly and absolutely true! How, then, can one comprehend that technological civilization has already elevated the process of creation in the Diming Star System to a high level of technological advancement? Within these conditions, we benefit truthfully and also shelter and nurture all sentient beings!
The bright path ahead unfolds wide,  
Heaven's virtuous grace descends to the heart inside.
The fifth phase of the Dao affairs has commenced,  
A new Dao hall is arranged by the virtue of Heaven.
Guide four hundred million disciples of Buddha home,
Fulfill the return of the ninety-two original souls.
The third element of the primordial assembly, complementing the cycle, is the technology of this era.
This verse! Let us encourage one another with compassion for all sentient beings; it is a true and earnest testament to guide and verify. Regarding the sacred mission of Chongxin's fifth phase, it is about to genuinely unfold in the near future. Moreover, your presence here today is truly guided by the heavens. Do not think that you have come to the Chongxin lineage for the first time without reason or cause. So, what is it for?
This also allows you to personally experience how the heavens bestow blessings upon all beings; anticipate it! Anticipate it! By actively participating in and supporting the sacred tasks of Chongxin's fifth phase, you will truly benefit and achieve in your future; today's atmosphere is quite gentle, and with this new sacred site and fresh structure, we hope all cultivating disciples will devote more effort to its development and guidance; thank you all for your hard work, farewell!

##The Dark Heavenly Emperor of the North Pole
October 7, 2005, the fifth day of the ninth month in the year of Yiyou (Friday)
New Vitality at Chongxin Daoist Center  
Guiding Souls in a Unique Way
A fresh vigor, grander still;  
The Great Way bright, auspicious signs fulfill.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the first of the Five Sacred Enlords and the Great Chairman of our lineage—the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wén Héng—has descended to compose the fifth chapter of *The Radiance of the Great Dao*. This work bestows blessings, virtues, and grace upon future generations, disseminating them throughout the mortal world.
Having already made all the origins and developments perfectly clear, why then does the Heavens, in this era, wish to elevate the lineage of the Heart Sect, to guide and deliver over 420 million sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, enabling them to return, achieve, and transcend? It is indeed to descend and manifest within the mundane world. You shall partake in and support this profound celestial opportunity and virtuous affinity to attain accomplishment.
We hope to achieve, fulfill, and guide through a renewed framework; carefully study the sacred teachings just delivered by the Great Chairman, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wenhang, and through mutual support, we will surely guide and gather our truly devoted brothers and sisters. We earnestly hope for this! We earnestly hope for this! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Chapter Nineteen: Striving for Perfection
##Fude Mingwang
October 11, 2005, the ninth day of the ninth month in the yiyou year (Tuesday)
The virtue of the Nine Heavens blesses all sentient beings;  
The Master of Fate elucidates principles and charts the course of writing.
The True Lord descends, bringing forth radiance;  
Inheriting, learning, and growing anew.
Human beings must engage in learning and growth.
The divine grace descends and transforms the mundane world, allowing all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas within the vast cosmos to evolve. By truly propagating and enacting the divine grace, the fundamental source of all technological evolution is guided by the heavenly realm. In this 21st century, through learning and growth, there will be great and benevolent benefits.
Not only must the great virtues and blessings bestowed by Heaven be passed down to future generations, but there must also be genuine and exceptional virtuous deeds to truly align with the promotion and expansion of great moral blessings. That is to say, relying on the accumulated experiences of previous generations as a foundation for growth, it is essential to understand that learning involves continuous action and improvement along the way.
Throughout the ages, the human world has operated in this manner: it is through the accumulation of experiences from previous generations that the foundation is laid for future generations of sentient beings and spiritual disciples to learn and transform. Without such learning and transformation, how could one truly enjoy the full benefits of the grace and blessings bestowed by Heaven?
All living beings and myriad things in the vast universe are precisely undertaking this kind of ascension through riding upon the waves of progress. It can be said that in the current era, the demands of technological civilization require not only transformation through learning but also yielding abundant benefits for oneself. Thus, benefiting both self and others—all are achievements established according to the principles ordained by Heaven.
The world is taught by those who came before.
This is the approach that Heaven should adopt in this era. There are numerous instances where Heaven "borrows talents" for inventions and creations that were previously established. If there is no foundation of thought and concept, how can there be actions and behaviors to bring about transformation? This precisely serves as a condition for sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to transcend the human realm in this lifetime.
All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the vast universe, regardless of any nation or race, are equally embraced by the boundless compassion and universal love of the Heavenly Realm. Through learning and transformation, they can benefit greatly in the future, addressing their own shortcomings and deficiencies through the act of learning.
Through the elimination of one's own ignorance, one learns from the arduous accumulation of processes and experiences of predecessors, combined with personal application for transformation, ultimately achieving the state of "hearts linked in shared understanding." In today's era of technology, all civilizational creations and inventions are accomplished in this manner—necessitating personal effort and continuous upward learning and growth.
It can lead to research and invention, yet often lacks that crucial spark of insight. Why does this creative process of research and invention suddenly become clear and enlightened through a moment of "spiritual resonance"? This is the fundamental action of the heavens in "borrowing talent" for all, thereby advancing human technological civilization and elevating it.
Learning and growth lead to the accumulation of experience.
This type can present all past experiences in other star systems, enabling the recreation of experiences; for those fully transferred to the Earth's star system, it allows for research and the development of virtuous benefits. Moreover, many of these inventions and creations will benefit both oneself and all sentient beings. In the process of learning, past experiences are thus transmitted and integrated into the Earth's spatial realm.
Through the process of "research, invention, and creation" for the benefit of all living beings and human welfare, we also learn that there will be many limitations and obstacles in research, invention, and creation, encountering numerous bottlenecks and difficulties. How do we overcome them step by step, hurdle by hurdle, time after time, resolving all challenges and setbacks?
It is through the continuous refinement of research, invention, and creation that such conditions and causes arise, allowing one to comprehend through learning: as much as one invests, so much will be the future reward. It may be said: for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the 21st century, why is it that technological civilization is flourishing more and more in the present era?
Compared to the limitations and obstacles of past eras, the present age has become much more relaxed. This is bestowed by the grace of the heavenly virtues and has been passed down to the human world through the Void, the Infinite, the Heavenly Realm, and the Southern Heaven. For future generations, this blessed inheritance will be transmitted to descendants—this is the true and unwavering policy of Heaven!
Human survival is passed down from generation to generation.
All past learning can be continuously revised and refined for the future. This not only benefits humanity in research, invention, and creation, but also brings advantages to all living beings and the natural world. It transcends distinctions of race and nation, and further contributes to the growth and well-being of Earth and its celestial systems, yielding profound rewards.
For all sentient beings, original spirits, and disciples of Buddha, they are all equally protected and cared for as one entity. In response to the great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the human world, through repeated shortcomings, all errors, flaws, deficiencies, and imperfections are continually reformed. Thus, goodness grows, elevates, and transcends.
Sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha's disciples, can clearly understand that the grace of Heaven does not discriminate among all sentient beings and living creatures in this Earth's star system. All are participants in and contributors to the evolutionary opportunities and actions of the entire cosmos. The world of humanity, with its emotions and consciousness, is precisely using technological civilization to transform and evolve into a state that benefits humanity and all living beings, making comfort and accessibility universal.
It also offers greater benefits for future convenience. Such achievements are more developed and accomplished in the present than in the past, and they further contribute to the inheritance and learning of humanity across generations. This has been the enduring practice since ancient times, shaping all living spaces of humankind and fostering virtuous growth and transcendence.
Technological civilization elevates the standard of living.
Sentient beings, regardless of the circumstances of future eras, will indeed achieve greater accomplishments with each passing generation. Moreover, compared to one or two millennia ago, the present age has witnessed tangible advancement and growth in technological civilization. In the future, all aspects of existence will become more convenient, widespread, and comfortable than they are today.
If, in the era of future technological civilization, sentient beings and spiritual disciples of Buddha wish to depart from this Earthly star system, they will no longer need to wait for dreams to fulfill this desire. Instead, in the present and the future, they will possess the energy to "relocate and transform elsewhere, or transform and relocate to other realms," enabling them to leave the domain of the Earthly Nether Star System as easily as turning over a hand.
In presenting all the technologies of the current era, this is precisely the great virtue and grace of the Vast Heaven, which does not discriminate among any religion or any nation’s sentient beings, but equally cares for, universally loves, and collectively accomplishes the fundamental causes and conditions for all. It is precisely the primary basis for the evolution and advancement of all beings participating in the transformation of the great cosmos.
Allowing sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas and disciples to effortlessly transcend the "body, mind, and spirit" not only helps them easily dissolve their own ignorance and obstacles but also enables them to surpass all the advancements of future technological civilization within the human world. This will have a "moral transformation" effect, allowing all original spirit Buddhas and disciples to benefit endlessly.
The functional role of the evolution of the Great Dao.
It will align with the fundamental function of the Great Dao, allowing such conditions to achieve the evolution of all creative advancements, precisely by benefiting from the role of "borrowing talents." Thus, you may not believe it now, but decades later, if your original spirit remains undiminished, when you look back and verify the celestial texts authored today, all will be revealed one by one!
The world of sentient beings is precisely such a civilization of science and technology. It can be said that it is not merely advancing a thousand miles a day, but rather ten thousand miles a day. In the future, with high-speed migration technology, resources from the deep sea can be utilized as raw materials to achieve the instantaneous effect of "transforming other places and relocating transformations elsewhere." At present, humanity and all living beings have yet to develop such a concept.
This is not empty talk, nor is it mere lofty rhetoric. You may carefully contemplate these causes and conditions. Moreover, in recent years, have the heavenly revelations composed by the immortal and buddha teachers gradually manifested? This is intended to borrow high-tech talents from extraterrestrial star systems to descend into your families, carrying on the legacy and passing down the teachings.
It is essential to first accumulate sufficient merit equivalent to the required energy, which aligns with the principle that "to have virtuous descendants, one must first accumulate virtue." This is precisely the grand policy of Heaven, descending to manifest within the mundane world. If such principles cannot be realized, then it would be as if immortals and buddhas were speaking empty words or falsehoods. Such interpretations do not represent the true teachings of immortals and buddhas. Can everyone understand this?
To have good descendants in this world, one must first accumulate virtue.
If you wish to have good descendants, you must first accumulate virtue. This requires gathering energy of the same quality, which will inevitably attract all energy entities from the corresponding celestial realms of Heaven to descend and be born into your family's future generations. They will carry on the legacy of bringing honor to your ancestors. But do you truly desire this? If so, you must first accumulate all energy entities of the same benevolent virtue.
Talent attracts the descent of future high-tech talents from the heavens, who will be born among your descendants. This very condition of cause and effect is what truly allows everyone to reap the rewards of their efforts. I earnestly hope for this! I earnestly hope for this! Through the teachings imparted to all students and sentient beings, there will be even more outstanding high-tech talents in the future, descending to be born among your descendants.
At that moment, you will realize that what you have given is but a small offering, yet it will be repaid a thousandfold—this is the grace bestowed upon you by Heaven in return for your generosity. In truth, it is precisely what you have diligently cultivated and accumulated through your own efforts, and you will come to genuinely feel gratitude toward Heaven for such a rare and extraordinary blessing.
To pass down to future generations and descendants,  
To learn, grow, and cultivate oneself with diligence.
Inspiring the arrival of high-level talents to bring blessings and benefit future generations through inheritance.
Human karma is predetermined from the start,  
Yet one reaps the fruits of their own deeds.
The Path to Achievement:  
A Blend of Joy and Sorrow, Self-Sought
This verse! It is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement; in benefiting future generations and descendants, and in your own efforts, there will be a share of harvest and reward. How should one respond to the virtuous grace bestowed by Heaven? Hahaha! It will manifest within the framework of a new spiritual domain, precisely where Heaven’s pillars of talent are being selected and accomplished.
The fifth phase of the Dao affairs of the Chongxin lineage, now extending across the world, has manifested. It is precisely about sacrificing in the present, dedicating in the present, and achieving fulfillment in the present—indeed, it is about embracing sacrifice, giving, devotion, and fulfillment in the here and now. How do you perceive this? Reflect upon it yourselves! Having troubled Chongxin for a time, I appreciate everyone’s efforts. Farewell!

##King Wumu of Utmost Loyalty, Marshal Yue
October 14, 2005, the twelfth day of the ninth month in the yiyou year (Friday)
The predestined connection from the void descends early,  
The benefits of Master Ji Gong’s teachings are arranged for all.
The Living Buddha beholds the new scene, where a brand-new sacred site brims with blessings.
Good evening to all the saints and buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Five Sacred Enlightened Masters—the True Lord of the Nine Heavens, the Director of Destiny—personally descended. In affirmation of the fifth phase of propagation by Chongxin, the sixth chapter of the heavenly text, "The Radiance of the Great Dao," has been composed. This serves as a legacy for future generations to study and grow, offering profound benefits for both oneself and all sentient beings.
All are the blessings bestowed through transformation, and in the future, they can be passed down for the learning and growth of future generations. They can accumulate the same divine energy to interact mutually, granting high-tech talents to be passed down to your descendants. It is hoped that you may: enjoy devotion, enjoy sacrifice, enjoy fulfillment—this is the true nature of reality!
Episode 21: Future Technology
## Immortal Maiden of the Void's Rosy Clouds
October 18, 2005, the 16th day of the ninth lunar month, Yiyou year (Tuesday)
At the southern gate of the sacred temple, teachings are spread;  
Within the palace of virtue, wondrous truths shine with radiant splendor.
Lord Fuyou authored the "Light of Enlightenment," passing down wisdom through experience and leaving behind a legacy of inspiring tales.
Humanity must have experiences to pass down.
Learning and growth entail the inheritance of experience, which necessarily involves undergoing the process of human survival to cultivate a benevolent and nurturing life. This principle applies universally to all aspects of human existence. Through the transmission of experience, learning and growth can be integrated, thereby enabling a greater role in the enlightenment and transformation of all sentient beings and original spirits in the future.
This is what evolution has achieved for itself: by enhancing the conditions available for the next cycle, it accumulates all the fruits of experience. Through the inheritance from predecessors and one's own exploration, one attains understanding of matters, thereby genuinely elevating knowledge in the human world. Moreover, one will no longer be troubled by the obstacles of ignorance.
Any endeavor requires the inheritance of experience to achieve the dependent actions necessary for learning and growth, and to accumulate such experience, one must invest considerable effort and dedication. Moreover, the mental, physical, and diligent efforts expended enable the accumulation of experience, transforming it into knowledge that fosters personal learning and growth—ultimately benefiting oneself.
Life's experiences must be passed down to future generations.
Furthermore, regarding the learning process, one must understand why knowledge accumulated through experience becomes one’s own fulfillment. As for the transformative growth process that knowledge brings, it inevitably allows one to thoroughly comprehend the manifestations of every matter—how they appear on the surface, what lies within them, and how the entire process unfolds. All of this can be achieved through the accumulation of human knowledge.
To achieve the understanding of any matter, which arises from the convergence of causes and conditions coming together to bring about completion, this ability to comprehend the integration of experience necessarily requires the accumulation of many cycles of effort and crystallization of heart and soul. Without such a fortuitous opportunity and favorable conditions, to fully attain great clarity and thorough insight into profound principles is indeed rare! Otherwise, one would merely apply the hard-earned experience accumulated through personal toil.
It is the acquisition of knowledge through one's own efforts—where experience combined with knowledge becomes stored in the eighth consciousness. Then, in future situations or during the process of others' experiences and mistakes, it can provide reference based on knowledge and experience, thereby reducing many unnecessary troubles and complications, as well as avoiding many futile detours.
The human world can be perfected—it is not merely an accumulation of experience, but also involves using knowledge to evaluate and grow through the re-creation of experience. Moreover, as each individual encounters different circumstances and accumulates distinct experiences, there is not just one single method, but rather countless approaches that can be applied.
All forms of experience are worthy of being passed down.
Through the accumulation of knowledge and experience over countless repetitions, the inherent functions and applications contained within various matters themselves are not limited to a single method of utilization when applied to the outcomes obtained. Similarly, the educational results passed down from superiors to subordinates lie in the transmission of wisdom, where those with rich experience guide and instruct their descendants and kin.
It can be said that each individual has the potential to be nurtured as a "teacher and inheritor" through education. This is indeed essential for future generations of sentient beings. Moreover, inheritance can be achieved not only through hierarchical transmission from superiors to subordinates but also through mutual exchange among peers and colleagues. Thus, inheritance extends far beyond the realm of education alone.
There is much knowledge and experience to be passed down, which involves extending the conditions for survival into the future or to future generations. For such transmission to be considered genuine, there must be at least one successor. This process often unfolds through the dynamic of "master to disciple" or "elder to junior," where teaching and guidance are imparted.
This is a process of recreation that has been passed down through experience since ancient times, and it continues to transmit this experience to all sentient beings and spiritual disciples of the future, an endeavor that is truly endless. Moreover, in the current era of technological civilization, we have not only far surpassed the time and space of an agricultural nation but have also long since moved beyond the age of agricultural society, entering the era of high-tech civilization.
Humans can pass on beneficial experiences to future generations.
This advancement and elevation into technological civilization, through the direct transmission of all educational curricula to future sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, and by means of technological inheritance, achieves a future lifestyle orientation characterized by comfort, convenience, and universality. This truly benefits the welfare of humanity and all living beings, bestowing virtue and blessings upon future generations.
It is precisely about creating greater space for growth, a process that inevitably involves the accumulation of experiential knowledge and the elevation of wisdom. Today, within the realm of creating civilized technology, there is also a pursuit of genuine research, invention, and the creation of timely products, all of which are grounded in enhancing the comfort, convenience, and accessibility of daily life.
It can be said: the comfort and convenience brought by the universal enjoyment of technological civilization are accumulated through experience, serving as the primary foundational cause for descending grace; moreover, for all ninety-two original spirits or four hundred million Buddha-disciples living in the human world within the earthly realm, all participate together in this cosmic cycle for elevation and growth.
Technological civilization holds the potential to create benefits for future well-being, offering sentient beings and spiritual disciples the means to achieve the welfare required for all living beings. Yet, what kind of functional benefits does this legacy bring to humanity? Sentient beings and spiritual disciples fundamentally remain unaware, as they cannot comprehend this deeper layer of causality and purpose.
Human body, mind, and spirit must strive for upward growth.
It is a process of elevating one's "body, mind, and spirit" to achieve a luminous effect that enhances human energy. Moreover, there exists a "QNA" luminous body, and by fully embodying this QNA energy, one attains abundant vitality. Only then can one effortlessly transcend the Earth's planetary system of human existence in the future.
It is precisely because in the human world, this technological civilization exists, which must elevate and transcend the space and environment that can truly benefit oneself. Therefore, all living beings across the vast cosmos participate in this cosmic cycle to grow and ascend, without distinction among all sentient beings and myriad things, joining together in this cycle to achieve elevation and benefit.
Sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha fundamentally do not realize that they originate from the primordial genes of the celestial star systems in the cosmic realm, which give form to these beings and disciples. Unable to comprehend this crucial point, they remain adrift within the Earth's star system, still believing that the space they inhabit and survive in is an eternal domain for life.
Human beings possess the capacity to cultivate and expand their energy bodies.
However, it is little known that one's origin lies in the void, the boundless, and the celestial realm of the great universe. Moreover, due to such causal conditions, humanity fundamentally lacks this knowledge and awareness, leading to the sorrow of sentient beings and original spiritual Buddha-children who remain detached from the three realms. The Chongxin lineage will unveil the "Creator of Cosmic Life," and this is an indisputable truth!
It becomes clear that in the 21st century, the ability to unlock the profound mysteries of the cosmic celestial realm through the Confucian sacred teachings is an extraordinary condition that no ordinary religion can achieve. Without having ever resided in the celestial realms of the cosmos, the void, or the boundless, it is fundamentally impossible to possess such karmic conditions.
Without the construction of such thoughts and concepts, one would remain trapped in the three evil paths and six realms of existence, finding it difficult to transcend beyond the three realms and achieve return and transcendence. Could this condition be clarified and established for sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s children, to provide humanity with a true goal for growth? It is fundamentally impossible!
The heavens and earth evolve, all spirits in accord;  
The great Dao shines bright, boundless and without end.
The profound cause of reverent hearts is expounded, unveiling the great mysteries and wonders of the celestial realm.
The principle of the brush gives rise to the cosmos,  
In the void of infinity lie countless celestial realms.
The process of achieving learning leads the Great Way back to the heavens.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples to encourage one another; it passes down an experience to the mundane world, particularly benefiting the sacred teachings of Confucianism. It also compensates for and elucidates the shortcomings in the viewpoints of all religions, offering sentient human beings a way to dissolve the obstacles of survival and faith, enabling upward growth and transcendence.
It must be clearly understood: the present ability to initiate the "Creator of Cosmic Life" is precisely the sacred mission of the "True Buddha Heart School – Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang." This mission, directed toward a new sacred site, a new atmosphere, new auspiciousness, and a new calling, will be propagated into the future, enabling even greater expansion. We eagerly anticipate this! We eagerly await it! May all be auspicious and favorable. Until we meet again!

The Void and Infinity Penetrate the Reverent Heart,  
The Sacred Virtue of the Heavenly Holy Mother Descends.
The Seventh Chapter of the Great Path's Radiance: Guiding Experience through Propagation and Transmission
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Fifth Holy Benefactor—the Eight Immortals’ Elder Lü Chunyang—has descended to compose the seventh chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao." He imparts the transformative role of passing down experiences, elucidating how it genuinely benefits and enriches the knowledge and wisdom of future generations.
Being honest with oneself and all original spirit Buddhas and disciples, such conditions and causes provide the transmission of experience, enabling further refinement and application in the future. Otherwise, one will continuously encounter obstacles of ignorance. The transmission of experience is passed down from generation to generation, ensuring that descendants do not face the interference of ignorant hindrances—this is indeed the truth! May all be auspicious and well. Everyone has worked hard. Farewell for now!
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Vanguard Transcends
## Immortal Maiden of the Colored Clouds in the Void
October 28, 2005, the twenty-sixth day of the ninth month in the yiyou year (Friday)
The Northern Pole of Heaven and Earth upholds the Infinite;  
The Profound Heavenly Great Way holds the Truth.
God descends to bring forth light,  
Fulfilling the teaching, the ultimate opportunity.
The teachings of the world must be put into practice.
The transmission of experience serves as a foundation for guiding others. For all races across the vast universe to find their place of belonging, it is essential to build upon the basis of light and root it in creative development. For every race in the vast universe, achieving self-realization forms the fundamental core of an educational and cultural curriculum. This is offered to all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha-natured disciples, enabling them to elevate the driving force of civilization and creation.
To firmly establish the foundation of moral cultivation, it is essential to build upon the inherited experience and knowledge of our predecessors. Through the continuous accumulation and demonstration of past wisdom, we educate and elevate ourselves and future generations, thereby dissolving all ignorance and obstacles. This is the essential cause and condition for the advancement of civilization.
Without a foundation in the inheritance and continuity of educational culture, there will inevitably be a rupture—a lack of succession and connection in passing down knowledge. To elevate all races across the world, it is essential to rely on the accumulated experiences of predecessors, as well as the knowledge and wisdom imparted by one’s own teachers and parents. This transmission of knowledge and experience, passed down from one generation to the next, forms the very essence of cultural and educational continuity.
Teaching and tradition are passed down from generation to generation.
Furthermore, the experience of knowledge itself, created as rich nourishment, provides the "main body of education" and the "foundation of cultivation" within the conditions manifested by the Great Dao. It is through the richness or lack of learning experience that one can determine all related problems or difficulties that may be encountered in the future.
This accumulation from predecessors, or the transmission imparted by one's own teachers or parents, represents a true integration of all knowledge and experience. It serves as the fundamental basis for imparting and educating in the context of elevating and creating conditions for the "Great Dao." Using education as the means of transmission has been the consistent practice from ancient times to the present.
The human world will also experience a forward progression in its circumstances. As for how to dissolve one's own obscurations and obstacles—by drawing upon the accumulated experiences of oneself and those who came before, it becomes relatively easier to eliminate the ignorance and hindrances in the human realm. For all sentient beings across the vast heavens and earth, this will then have a genuine transformative effect.
In the realm of human society, the accumulated wisdom of past generations is passed down to future descendants to help resolve the difficulties and setbacks encountered in the present. It is essential to recognize that beyond the basic needs of eating, drinking, excretion, and sleep, the governance of family and business affairs often cannot be achieved solely according to one's personal desires.
It is difficult for humans to act according to their own desires.
When one is unable to act according to their own will, they will encounter many obstacles born of ignorance, making it difficult to meet the demands of a smooth and harmonious existence. This very situation reflects the impartiality of the Great Dao, which, through the accumulation of one's own efforts and the lessons drawn from the experiences of predecessors or oneself, serves to dissolve all difficulties and setbacks encountered in the present moment.
Moreover, one should strive for self-improvement, transforming difficulties and obstacles into opportunities for growth. This is precisely what is required for the greater world, and it is essential for human existence. One must personally experience the fundamental causes and conditions that shape human life, and then take action to dispel ignorance and overcome obstacles.
Why is it that sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha's disciples, often cannot achieve smoothness and fulfillment all at once in the human world? Why must they undergo experiences passed down through generations or personally felt? It is because when difficulties arise, they must seek alternative paths for change and transformation, gradually guiding themselves toward peace and ease.
Progressing further, one can nurture life with peace and harmony. Otherwise, when encountering the obstacles of ignorance time and again, one will inevitably be unable to adapt all at once. It is certain that such obstacles of ignorance will be encountered, and this can indeed be foreseen in advance. However, through education and culture, such conditions can be elevated by refining one's thoughts and perspectives.
Human existence inevitably encounters many obstacles.
In the future, when encountering difficulties or encountering key issues, applying the knowledge and experience accumulated from past learning will inevitably accumulate into wisdom. It is precisely this function of elevation that can easily dissolve the ignorance and obstacles encountered in the present moment. With this, one's journey through the human world will become smoother and more even.
It is essential to integrate previous thoughts and concepts with present responses, thereby dissolving the setbacks and difficulties encountered. The key to resolving such issues lies in the establishment of experience, combined with the foundation of prior concepts, which allows for their effortless resolution. Without the groundwork of these prior concepts, what else can one rely on?
When faced with difficulties again, it is often impossible to change things immediately. Frequently, it takes a period of delay before adjustments can be made. In learning and growing from past knowledge and experience, it is also common that they cannot be applied right away. It may take several years or even decades before they can be used appropriately.
It is also because learning and growth involve the accumulation of knowledge and the development of education and culture. With such accumulated knowledge, when can it be applied appropriately? It may remain unused for a hundred years, yet not a single day should pass without being prepared. This principle is something that every sentient being, every original spirit and Buddha’s disciple, finds difficult to fully comprehend or anticipate encountering.
The color chart for the eye that infers three from one.
Often, these matters cannot be easily resolved. It is precisely due to such causes and conditions that one is able to accumulate knowledge and experience in the human world. Some of these can be applied immediately, while others may require months, years, or even decades before they can be appropriately utilized. Without past experiences, how could one effectively address and resolve the issues at hand?
Therefore, what is applied in the present moment is supplemented by the experiences borrowed from others. Yet, the experiences of others are merely their past journeys—can they truly be of use to oneself? Or is it impossible to learn, grow, and apply them by following the path of others' experiences? Hence, to truly embody experience, one must first understand and skillfully apply it—only then can it be considered genuine.
It can be said: grasp one point and infer three, or even ten. It can also be said that those with sharp insight (in Taiwanese dialect—those with keen vision) are able to draw inferences about other cases when dealing with matters and issues, quickly resolving them. Therefore, what "those with sharp insight" possess is experience and knowledge, enabling them to learn and grow more rapidly.
Compared to others, they are better equipped to handle all difficulties and problems that arise. One might speak of "those with keen discernment" and "those lacking keen discernment"—the difference between these two is immense. Even when the time and conditions observed by both "those with keen discernment" and "those lacking keen discernment" are identical, the outcomes and results they achieve will differ.
Human existence is fraught with profound ignorance.
It can also be said: For someone with keen discernment, the difficulties and setbacks encountered will be greatly reduced and can be resolved at any time. However, for those lacking such discernment, even under the same conditions of time, space, and circumstances, the outcomes achieved will not be the same. Moreover, the problems and difficulties they face will become far more numerous and challenging.
How can these two be implemented and applied? This is precisely the most crucial key point! Among sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, some can very easily dissolve these obstacles, while others often encounter problems, setbacks, and difficulties, which repeatedly form obscurations of ignorance within themselves. How, then, should these be dissolved?
It is precisely what one has mastered, distinguishing the functional differences therein; it serves to pass down experience to future generations or students, which is yet another essential principal cause and condition for transmission. The world of sentient beings is indeed a great cause and condition for creation and progress; all responsive and transformative functions never remain stagnant, nor do they wait for oneself.
All the diverse opportunities for human existence
Thus, time and space are fleeting. If one fails to grasp the process created by the convergence of time, space, and conditions, then in the next moment, such a rare opportunity bestowed by heaven will already be lost. This marks the dividing line between keen insight and its absence. If one can penetrate to the core of understanding the issue, it will become effortless to comprehend all its origins and intricacies.
Heaven bestows many opportunities upon those with keen perception, for they can create their own destiny. As for those whose perception is not as sharp, although Heaven may grant them more divine chances and favorable conditions, these opportunities are fleeting; once missed, when will they come again? The teachings and traditions of the sentient world are passed down to provide future generations and students with virtuous opportunities.
Being able to easily confront and resolve the crux of problems is a skill that often requires years or even decades of application after the learning and growth acquired in childhood and youth. Some may never manage to apply it throughout their entire lives. What causes this? It ultimately comes down to the difference in whether one has truly put their heart into it.
Knowledge: It is an indispensable condition for the growth of future experience and for learning through transformation. Although this is true, those with keen perception will achieve far greater and immeasurably more in their future creations compared to those without such acuity. The difference will be vast indeed. What do you all say to this?
The experience of learning and growth, enduring years without easy change.
When the moment comes, it may be put to use;  
Some things in this life never come to light.
Intelligence and wisdom are elevated to enhance,  
Implementing teachings is inherently the truest essence.
Human connections are forged by creation,  
Growth and learning are treasures to be cherished.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement. The implementation of teachings lies in the fact that through one's own efforts, one will reap rewards. For those who are "skilled in worldly ways" and those who are "unskilled in worldly ways," the difference between the two is significant, yet both can achieve the same accomplishments through creation. It is through diligence and unwavering progress that true nature is realized! What do you all think?
Observe this: the new sacred site, the new atmosphere, and the new mission’s role in spreading and promoting the teachings are precisely the conditions that will enable one to achieve self-fulfillment in the future, as well as help all original spirit Buddha-disciples to ascend, grow, and transcend. Such a fortunate circumstance is truly worthy of celebration! Congratulations! Congratulations! Thank you all for your hard work and for sparing some time with Chongxin. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

##Eight Immortals Elder, Han Zhongli Immortal Elder
November 1, 2005, the nineteenth day of the ninth month in the yiyou year (Tuesday)
Fortune and virtue are beloved by all,  
Brightness and kingship are ordained by heaven.
New Vitality at the Chongxin Daoist Center  
Expanding Its Reach Across the World Is Only Right
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Five Sacred Enlightened Masters, the Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven of the North Pole, has personally descended to our lineage to compose the eighth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao." This chapter addresses the fundamental aspects of implementing teachings, offering everyone a more authentic way to comprehend the profound mysteries within.
Whether you are "skilled in discerning forms" or "unskilled in discerning forms," all are granted equal opportunity and the causes and conditions of time and space. How, then, can one attain future achievements that elevate creation? Such conditions are not innate; they can be reached through one’s own diligent effort and progress. Moreover, the extent of your effort will determine the extent of your reward. Do you understand?
Chapter 25: A Brand New Creation
## Immortal Maiden of Flowers in the Void
November 4, 2005, the third day of the tenth month in the year of Yiyou (Friday)
The Confucian classics illuminate the sacred texts,  
As the loyal and heroic Yue Fei descends to set the rules.
Marshal Yue ascended the sacred platform,  
Spreading teachings to enlighten generations through and through.
All growth stems from the cultivation of virtue.
Implementing education for observation: It serves precisely as the condition for achievement, elevating and promoting the dissemination of education, particularly by taking the curriculum of educational culture in the Xingtan (schools) as the foundational benchmark. Furthermore, by applying the experience of educational culture to the human world for inheritance, it should genuinely achieve the efficacy of widespread transformation.
The vast universe and earth are unified under the fundamental condition of the Great Dao. This unity is achieved through learning and growth, elevating all educational and cultural curricula, thereby embodying authenticity. It is essential to have a means of propagating teachings, rooted in education itself, which serves as the foundation for dissemination and development. This becomes the support for the human race within the vast universe and earth.
Only humanity, with its capacity for emotion, possesses the records of learning and growth. Through the accumulation of past experiences, we reach the foundation of educating and passing knowledge to the next generation. It is precisely the hard work and dedication of our predecessors that has crystallized into wisdom, allowing knowledge to accumulate. At this crucial stage, it is essential to continue learning and growing, accumulating experiences to elevate the next cycle of educational advancement.
Promoting transformation will surely benefit humanity.
It is precisely to comprehend all past experiences of learning and growth, while also achieving the integration of the human world through the main body of propagation and transformation. Moreover, it governs through management: regulations, systems, codes, and norms, and further unifies all nations and races across the vast universe as equals, all under the governance of these same regulations, systems, codes, and norms.
Talent facilitates the implementation of all systems. Sentient beings entering the human world are under the jurisdiction of nations and, more importantly, are primarily protected. If they cannot receive protection, they will lack the crucial aspect of safety. Without safety, fear arises in the heart, and in the absence of all sense of stability, they are also prone to external invasions and bullying.
The human world is an extension of the great virtue and grace of the Dao. It is essential to establish a foundation by genuinely enhancing the conditions for its propagation. This involves learning as a means of growth and acting in accordance with all the principles of human existence. It is necessary to integrate and govern the human world, which requires leaders to possess moral principles and actions, as well as visionary foresight.
Only then can one fully understand the difficulties, setbacks, and limitations that will be encountered in the future! In the human world, the orientation of survival is centered on sustaining life, and it lies in the principle that food is the paramount necessity of the people. If warmth, sustenance, and security cannot be ensured, it is easy to face rebellion and betrayal. Conversely, if safety and basic needs are met in the human world, it becomes much easier to govern.
Heaven is merciful and compassionate, bestowing virtue and love upon all beings.
The system of divine grace and benevolence towards all living beings is maintained in a state of mutual balance and harmony, making the human world easier to govern. In implementing such a system, it is essential to understand that "food is the paramount need of the people," and that "food" serves as the fundamental basis for all survival. If the supply within the food chain becomes difficult to sustain, it can easily lead to rebellion and desertion.
Therefore, regarding the fundamental conditions for education and cultivation, it is essential to first provide: stability, safety, and basic sustenance, followed by: comfort, convenience, and accessibility. Only by fulfilling these foundational aspects of education and propagation can the primary conditions for transmission be achieved. The essence of education and propagation lies in using learning and growth as the means to gain and benefit from the recreation of experience in the future.
Such is the nature of the human world. It is precisely through the processes of acquisition and gain that the entire chain of affairs related to food supply can be sustained, allowing for mutual fulfillment. This is how the Great Dao manifests itself in the actions and survival orientation of humanity—it is meant to be this way. Moreover, it serves as a guide for the compassionate primordial spirits and Buddha's children in the human realm, directing their actions toward alignment with the Dao.
All who inherit the foundation of extensive education and cultivation are equipped with the conditions to shape the future. They are thus granted the integration of the "food chain and the chain of affairs," which, being passed down through education, is built upon the basis of learning and growth. Moreover, in its application to the laws governing human existence, it yields beneficial effects through its implementation.
Honghua Extension Education Courses
This benefit is precisely the fruit of learning and education. If the world of sentient beings merely focuses on mastering skills without teaching the establishment of human ethics, how would it differ from beasts? How, then, should education be promoted in the human world? It is not merely about teaching skills; it is essential to emphasize the implementation of ethical and moral norms.
If one fails to cultivate moral character for self-improvement, they will inevitably be subjected to the invasion and harm of immorality in any time or space. If sentient beings fail to understand that education and culture are fundamentally grounded in human ethics and morality, and possess only technical skills, then what difference is there between them and beasts?
In the human world, regardless of time, space, or circumstances, if one fails to grasp the fundamental importance of all aspects of educational and cultural curricula, how can institutions of learning and academies establish their footing? Therefore, to "establish the norms for the educational sphere," it is essential in the current era to rely on the leadership of the state to implement comprehensive planning and regulation.
Only then can we avoid descending to the level of beasts! The human world is built upon human ethics and morality, enabling the genuine establishment and implementation of a system that promotes and evolves these principles. Through the promotion and elevation of ethical and moral regulations, higher levels of wisdom are cultivated. Under such conditions, there is growth in goodness, leading to transcendence and elevation.
The implementation of ethical regulations must yield tangible results.
In today's era, if one were to speak again of the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Virtues and Eight Ethics," they would likely be ridiculed by contemporary society as outdated notions, far removed from the human world. Yet, little do people realize that all existence within the human world, amidst the technological civilization of the present age, necessitates the establishment of new moral concepts even more urgently than in the past!
In the current era, if we aim to implement the propagation and education of the future through technological civilization, it is essential to fully comprehend and analyze the aspects of human ethics and systems. Only then can we genuinely align with the inherent qualities of our own "energy body," enabling us to act with goodness. This involves rectifying the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors of all human beings, thereby elevating them to a higher level.
If one is deficient in loyalty, it is necessary to practice acts of "loyalty" to cultivate the energy of loyalty. Similarly, if one lacks the energy of filial piety, one must perform acts of "filial piety" to generate the energy of filial devotion, which will likewise accumulate within you.
Extending this further: "The Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues" represent the very foundation of traditional human ethics and morality. Throughout the ages, this has consistently held true. If one doubts this, they may test it firsthand: if any aspect of these moral energies is lacking, simply practice its principles, and all such energies will be fully realized.
Human beings possess the capacity for the growth of goodness.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, do you lack the karmic conditions for currency? Moreover, regarding the karmic conditions of "money" as you call it, if one can fully attain the energy bodies of both "blessings and virtues," then acquiring the currency of "money" will become as easy as turning one's hand. You may try and see!
Do you believe it or not? Precisely in facing the technological civilization of the 21st century, which promises greater benefits and gains, the human world stands at a turning point for the future of technological civilization. All technologies, in this current era, are being applied to implement numerous human ethical regulations for sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children. This is absolutely true!
It is through the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Principles and Eight Virtues" that one attains the qualities of a certain type of energy body. If one cannot grant oneself the true driving force and the fundamental causes and conditions for elevation, then one cannot attain or benefit from the same energy body. Moreover, it becomes impossible to connect with the energy bodies of the celestial constellations, thereby achieving the fullness and radiance of one’s own energy body.
How do such causal conditions come into being? They can be formed through the growth and elevation of DNA into RNA, thereby facilitating the accumulation of the QNA energy body. Moreover, the human world possesses a demarcation point between ascent and descent. Regarding human karma, if one cannot attain an equivalent energy body, it becomes difficult to establish a connection with the celestial constellations.
Sentient beings must have good and favorable conditions.
If such a concept cannot even be established, I fear that in the future, one will inevitably fall into all the obstacles of the human world—these are the limitations that are bound to exist! Those who can comprehend this profound mystery of heaven’s design will surely find a path of growth for all human worlds across the vast universe. How will you act upon this? It is indeed difficult to grasp!
It is precisely by one's own choices; what kind of descendants to bear? All are determined by your present actions and conduct. If in the human world one cannot comprehend and clarify this, the human world is merely a temporary lodging for a cosmic traveler. Human existence is precisely the distinction between ascent and descent—indeed, it is all chosen by oneself!
Everything depends on how one practices and promotes the principles of human morality and ethics. Only then can one truly determine what conditions will bring benefits and gains to one's future self and descendants. As for the direction of your own future and the kind of energetic entity you will tend to become, these are all based solely on your present actions and conduct—absolutely without deviation!
Rich experiences in education and growth,  
The world of sentient beings is universally alike.
The Three Bonds, Five Constants, and Four Virtues of Morality  
Accomplish the vast energy of heaven.
Teaching and transformation spread throughout the human realm,  
All sentient beings and Buddha’s disciples are interconnected.
The cause of reverence is incomparably great,  
Allowing this primordial assembly to manifest its success.
This verse! It is mutually encouraged among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples; it elaborates on the great cause of future propagation and education in the Celestial Book time and again. Observing the momentum of the Chongxin Sect, it is no longer comparable to the past, for it has now been directly connected to the Chongxin Sect by the heavenly realm of Haotian, without the need for the divided transmissions of former times to reach it.
Congratulations and commendations are in order! Worthy of praise and encouragement! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Let us take this precious moment at Chongxin to discuss the future promotion and propagation of the teachings. Until we meet again!

New Atmosphere at Chongxin Daoist Center  
The Vast Heaven Directly Connects to Chongxin Hall
The Golden Tower looks forward to a grand expansion,  
The sacred tasks of the fifth period herald auspicious signs.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Five Sacred Enlightened Masters, Marshal Yue Wumu, has personally descended to compose the ninth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." By interconnecting the teachings of universal transformation and education with one's own energy body, one can achieve virtuous growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Without this kind of energy, if one wishes to surpass the cosmic galaxies in the future, a lack of energy will likely make it difficult to achieve any real benefit! You are fortunate to have the Chongxin Sect lineage guiding and assisting in the fulfillment and promotion of four hundred million Buddhist disciples, which is both your great karmic connection and immense blessing. Without great virtue, it is essential to accumulate and augment an equivalent energy body.
New Era, New Atmosphere, New Mission  
New People, New Style, New Reforms
Reverently renew the heart to begin anew from within, spreading transformation through education to achieve the merit of great harmony.
This verse is shared with all of you as mutual encouragement. The energy embodied within it must be used with utmost sincerity to freely respond to all transformations throughout the cosmic heavens. Through your accumulated merit, you may simply gaze upon the sky from the outside to easily connect with the Heavenly Realm, thereby receiving abundant energy for yourselves. You may personally try it and see!

Wisdom and Blessings Shelter All Souls
All beings must possess wisdom to cultivate blessings and protection.
The spiritual and educational cultivation of all sentient beings is precisely about elevating wisdom, allowing future generations to inherit and pass on education, so that they may truly benefit. It is essential to grow and learn from the very foundations of education. It can be said that this is a grand endeavor spanning countless generations, for it is through the teachings of predecessors that the accumulated experience and wisdom are passed on to those who follow.
Upon achieving success in later generations, there will inevitably be widespread comfort and convenience in life. Yet, this is only made useful through learning, and it is precisely because of the accumulated wisdom of our predecessors that future descendants can reduce the need for prolonged exploration and learning. This allows for a significant reduction in the time and circumstances required, enabling growth and accumulation through the human world.
Wisdom is enhanced through the accumulation of knowledge. When encountering problems again, one applies the knowledge learned to connect the chain of affairs, thoroughly understanding the challenges of survival in the human world. It also involves aligning with all survival orientations of the vast universe, thereby achieving genuine growth in "wisdom and experience" for oneself.
How can wisdom grow and experience yield benefits? It is by drawing upon the accumulated knowledge of predecessors and past experiences to apply to present circumstances. In the human world, whether one can harvest growth and enrichment from experience depends on the situation at hand. This is driven by the elevation of wisdom, which in turn fosters future growth and advancement.
Human survival is built upon the accumulation of wisdom.
It must be built upon the accumulation of previous or ancestral knowledge, for human wisdom inherently depends on its application by people. It cannot be confined to a single model that governs all intellectual achievements. It is precisely in the process of learning and applying knowledge that one can wield it freely and integrate it seamlessly, thereby reaping profound benefits.
In the vast universe, all human worlds serve as the primary foundation for integration and belonging, necessitating growth and learning through these realms. Moreover, wisdom can distinguish between "benevolent wisdom and malevolent wisdom." How, then, can we differentiate between the two? It is precisely through human application and judgment that we discern the distinctions between "benevolent wisdom and malevolent wisdom."
The distinction between these two lies in understanding that "wise discernment" in the human world can benefit both oneself and all beings. However, when applied as "cunning wisdom," it can lead to harm without trace. The outcome—whether favorable or adverse—ultimately depends on the wisdom of a nation's leaders and those in positions of authority, shaping the future accordingly.
What kind of virtuous blessings or calamitous consequences will be formed for humanity and future generations? This is determined by the judgment of those in leadership. Through the application of good wisdom and the avoidance of harmful wisdom, deeply instilled via educational courses, good wisdom can be amplified to greater effect. Only then can it benefit both oneself and all beings, unifying all through good wisdom.
Good and evil, wisdom and folly, shape the world of human affairs.
Good wisdom can be applied to all future human orientations toward survival, encompassing comfort, convenience, and universality. It is through the practice of good wisdom that the Daoist ideals of equality and non-action can be truly realized and disseminated. Furthermore, by promoting the Confucian concept of the "Great Unity" from the "Evolution of Rites," a harmonious society can be fostered.
It is a virtuous custom where no one picks up lost items on the road, and no thieves come to harm others. From the perspective of "Buddhism," this is the manifestation of compassion in uplifting all beings; from the perspective of "Christianity," it is the demonstration of boundless universal love in the human world; and from the perspective of "Islam," it is the embodiment of purity and sincerity in the real world for all sentient beings.
If one acts with misguided wisdom, it will bring endless harm to sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples, making it difficult to witness the future world of great harmony. Moreover, such causes and conditions hinder the ability to establish protective blessings for future generations and all beings to come. Only with sufficient virtue and merit can we establish regulations to protect and bless the descendants of sentient beings.
This is the virtuous grace illuminated in the "Chapter of the Great Unity" from the Book of Rites, which bestows blessings and protection upon a nation and its society, elevating them. Compared to Eastern countries, this practice is implemented more thoroughly in Western nations. In the present era, across the vast expanse of the world, regardless of any nation or society, all can benefit and grow through goodness.
The divine grace of Heaven bestows blessings upon all humanity.
As long as it aligns with the blessings and virtues bestowed upon future generations and all living beings of the world, from the perspective of Heaven, it will never be withheld or denied. It also enables the compassionate primordial spirits and Buddha-disciples across the vast universe to effortlessly attain elevation and transcendence into the Lotus Buddha Pure Land by the 21st century.
Therefore, the "Evolution of the Great Dao" bestows its profound virtue and grace upon all sentient beings, all original spirits, and all Buddha's disciples, who participate in the evolutionary creation. It makes no distinction among nations or societies, for all are under the care and benevolent shade of Heaven. Moreover, following the enthronement of the Mysterious Jade Emperor of Haotian, this grace has been specifically directed toward the creation of blessings and virtue for all living beings, which is absolutely true beyond any doubt!
In the present era, there is a phenomenon: having entered the primordial source of the heavenly blessings, it will inevitably bring greater blessings and profound virtues to future generations and all sentient beings! This condition serves as the basis for fulfillment, interconnecting throughout the vast universe, thereby benefiting all living beings in existence!
Through the joint assembly of celestial immortals and Buddhas within the administrative units of the Heavenly Court, decrees have been repeatedly promulgated and disseminated to the mortal world. Without distinction among all nations and states, nor among all religious sects and lineages, all alike partake in the great virtue, grace, and blessings of the vast cosmos. Only thus can there be genuine benefit for future beings and descendants to come.
The capabilities of 21st-century technology will advance.
All human beings are fully participating in the evolution of the Earth and its galaxy. In the future, guidance and fulfillment will not only be achieved through the accumulated efforts of heavenly immortals and buddhas, but also through the dedication of all compassionate immortals, buddhas, sages, and deities. Together, they will shape the 21st century, with many edicts directly issued to the mortal world by the Supreme Celestial Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven.
To bestow benefits and virtuous grace upon all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples, as well as the multitudes of living beings, it is precisely because of this connection that it can foster a greater role in propagating and transforming the Confucian sacred tradition. As for whether the Confucian sacred tradition can truly propagate and guide in the present era, it depends on the efforts and choices made by humanity.
It is essential to integrate and fulfill through the "Sacred Gate of Confucianism," and to establish a guiding framework for future propagation and cultivation. This serves as a pivotal condition, acting as a mainstay for the growth of the "Yichong Xintang Lineage." Faithfully, within the Confucian Sacred Hall, it elevates the Confucian Divine Teaching to become the Confucian Sacred Teaching, thereby enhancing its role in propagation and guidance.
You should all rejoice! To be admitted into the foremost institution of the Divine: the "True Buddha Heart Sect, the Chongxin Hall Lineage of the Sacred Decree," and to have the genuine lineage of the Great Mandate Daoist temple, which opens the true opportunity for future propagation, guidance, and transcendence in returning to the ultimate union—this is truly a cause for celebration! You must seize this rare and precious divine opportunity in this lifetime to achieve transcendence.
Heaven bestows the opportunity for teaching and transformation, providing the resources to guide and educate through broad influence.
All beings with feeling are uplifted; the Confucian sacred hall is truly exceptional.
Wisdom bestows blessings upon all living beings;  
The world of sentient beings is collectively forged.
The Dao series unfolds across the universe,  
A bright world promises a splendid future.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children to encourage one another. Regarding my management of the Confucian Sacred Gate system and all its educational courses, we should be grateful to the Heavens for implementing the new dharma to elevate and unite all Confucian sacred halls. This serves as a great opportunity to promote the "Revival of Chinese Culture." Today, I have troubled everyone and disturbed Chongxin for some time. Farewell!
Chapter 28: The Framework Completed
##Eight Immortals, Immortal Elder Zhang Guo
November 15, 2005, the fourteenth day of the eleventh month in the year of Yiyou (Tuesday)
The causes and conditions of emptiness are vastly different,  
Yet the colorful clouds descend and accomplish their work.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the sacred altar today,  
Spreading virtue and wisdom, vast and profound.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Chief Administrator of the Confucian Sacred Gate, Marshal Wang Tianjun of the Huoluo Division, has descended to compose the tenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao." This involves disseminating the great project of wisdom and blessings. Such wisdom is further divided into virtuous wisdom and malevolent wisdom, highlighting the distinction between these two!
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddha disciples, if they can apply wisdom and goodness, will bestow boundless virtue upon future generations; if they resort to malicious wisdom, they will inflict endless harm upon their descendants. This distinction lies precisely in the thoughts and intentions that arise within the mind. This, too, constitutes the fundamental cause and condition at the core of educational and cultural teachings, embodying the true nature of reality!
Otherwise, if one persistently applies misguided wisdom, it will invisibly inflict harm upon future generations—a cruelty that Heaven does not wish to see. Therefore, it is essential to begin education from a young age, in order to establish a solid foundation of character. Only then can a benevolent society emerge in the human world, creating a wholesome environment for all living beings.
Chapter 29: Spreading Teachings Across the World
##Void-Colored Crane Immortal Maiden
November 18, 2005, the 17th day of the 11th lunar month, Year of Yiyou (Friday)
The Eight Immortals descend upon the Path of Light, with Han Zhongli Quan bestowing his virtuous care.
The Great Cause of the Chongxin Lineage,  
The Bright Path Aided by Heaven's Grace.
The world must have a path of light.
Protected by the teachings and virtues of enlightenment, one seeks blessings and bestows upon all sentient beings and original spirit disciples throughout the vast universe the karmic foundation to extend blessings to future generations. By aligning with the virtues manifested by the Great Dao, one grows and learns within the human world, which is precisely the realm of sentient beings. It is through such circumstances and processes that one ascends.
To achieve the welfare that both oneself and future generations depend upon, and to guide the human world toward a bright and promising path; it is by relying on the Great Way as the foundation of existence, and through various causes and conditions, that one can understand it is precisely by taking action for oneself and for all beings that this is realized. If one cannot achieve full efficacy in attaining the desired outcomes, the results will be significantly diminished.
The key lies in the very foundation of educational and cultural curricula, which should enhance the functions of education and cultivation. Only by mutually fulfilling the protective blessings for the well-being of future generations can we bring about abundant fortune for them to draw upon. Such blessings are the accumulations of our predecessors, as well as the hard-earned fruits of our own elders and ancestors.
Parents all hope for a bright future for their children.
Every sentient being and spiritual child of Buddha is nurtured and educated by their human parents, inheriting all the blessings and misfortunes passed down from their ancestors. Moreover, through the diligent efforts and accumulated contributions of their forebears, the Great Dao is revealed—a legacy that benefits all humanity, much like "planting trees for future generations to enjoy their shade."
Thus we can understand that our present situation is also like this: it is necessary for all of us to dedicate our hard work now, so that future generations may long enjoy the blessings and virtues of this legacy. Just as we observe the process of writing by the Chongxin lineage at present, it is exactly the same! It is through the diligent efforts of all the celestial immortals and buddhas who participated and contributed that future descendants can comprehend this great opportunity.
Thus, one can easily understand all the manifestations of divine will and how the future world will be. Moreover, the works authored by the Confucian sacred halls in the past have primarily been constructed around the framework of the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Principles and Eight Virtues." For over two thousand years, this framework has continued to serve its function of moral cultivation, making it difficult to change or update for contemporary application under current modes of thought.
From this, one can understand why in the current era, the "Sacred Gate of Confucianism" has become relatively weakened. It is precisely the result of the interplay between the forces of time and space and human factors! Moreover, with the technological civilization of today, the functions of all past educational and cultural curricula have been discarded. This is the helpless and sorrowful lesson that the Heavens are imparting to the countless original spirits and Buddha-children of the vast world!
The circumstances of time and space have already changed.
In the present era, while the Confucian Sacred Hall continues its work, it is also entrusted with the mission of pioneering a new path for the "True Buddha Heart Sect, the Yichong Chongxin Hall Lineage," elevating the growth of thought and structure. To achieve further ascension and transcendence, one must forge ahead through one's own efforts. This is particularly necessary because the Confucian sacred tradition has declined to this day—what else can be done?
This decline lies in the fact that, from the perspective of Heaven, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the Central Plains have been delayed by the sacred lineage system from the time of the Yellow Emperor to the present. How, then, can the transformation of the Confucian sacred lineage system be realized? It will be achieved through the creation and advocacy of future technological civilization, making it easy for all sentient beings and original spiritual Buddhas to understand.
How can one integrate the "body, mind, and spirit" within oneself? It is essential to achieve this union of the three, sowing the seeds of causes and conditions that have never been elucidated throughout the ages. This allows the future technological civilization to be applied to the energy body of the present, reaching a process of growth and learning for elevation.
This also establishes a well-organized framework and regulations for the Confucian sacred tradition. It not only provides future generations with a clear and bright path for guidance and cultivation but also extends great blessings to them. These blessings are not limited to the Earth's star system alone; they can expand to encompass the entire cosmic galaxy, fostering interconnectedness and mutual communication.
Technological civilization benefits all living beings.
At present, technological civilization is still in its infancy, with everything in a phase of exploration. Thus, it remains impossible to fully and accurately comprehend the essence of the entire cosmic galaxy through technology alone. It is essential for the works of celestial scriptures and technology to complement each other, ensuring they do not miss the great opportunity of mutual support.
Moreover, mutual assistance is a way for light to advance and surpass ahead of time, rather than merely being confined to research and creation. If it were only the latter, one would inevitably encounter numerous setbacks, bottlenecks, and difficulties. This is not the true course that light should follow. To fulfill this in the human world, it requires the functional role and contribution of all human beings.
Only by applying the principles of humanistic existence can one achieve elevation! In the present moment, if you seek to advance through technological civilization, do you feel as though you can never keep pace with its rapid transcendence? Consider the computer systems of the human world: early computers already pale in comparison to today's machines, and future computers will be even more sophisticated and surpass all expectations!
Moreover, the knowledge you currently possess cannot keep pace with the leaps and bounds of technological civilization, which advances a thousand miles a day and ten thousand miles in a moment, requiring systematic fulfillment. Although it is said that the Heavenly Realm has borrowed over two million high-tech talents for research, development, and creation, they too will encounter bottlenecks. Only through continuous growth and elevation can achievements in invention, research, and creation be realized.
Technological Advancement and the Future Well-being of Humanity
In truth, all of this is always ahead of your current intellectual comprehension. This, in turn, serves as a means for you to grow by addressing your deficiencies and shortcomings, enabling genuine development in accordance with the virtuous grace manifested by the Great Dao. This further elevates the technological civilization of the entire world. Yet, in your present state, you lack the conditions to achieve such growth.
However, in the direction of future technological civilization, there will be firsthand information to clarify that the entire context has long been understood. This is addressed in the works to compensate for all the deficiencies in your understanding of the current era's technological civilization. Moreover, since none of you are "borrowed talents" in high technology, you are unable to apply "research, invention, and creation."
This set of causal conditions can easily penetrate the future technological civilization. You already possess firsthand information to clearly understand this, and have long known that the future will manifest truthfully. It is precisely because the celestial immortals and Buddhas have braved wind and rain to descend and compose the "Dadao Series Classics," thereby initiating the collective karma of the 21st century.
However, if even a single lesson is missed, one may risk overlooking numerous revelations of divine will, which are intended to aid and elevate all original spirit beings and Buddha-children. This is the framework for growth applied by technological civilization, precisely because it aims to guide the vast multitude of "over four hundred and twenty million" original spirit beings and Buddha-children back to transcendence and return.
The heavens have borrowed the creation of technological civilization.
This great Dao and its destined connections were thus brought down to the mundane world. Consequently, over the past thirty years, a prolonged search has been conducted, screening and assessing the leaders of all religious sects in the human realm. Only a few were found to possess such a celestial opportunity and favorable affinity. Through this process of selection and evaluation, even fewer were able to pass the strict, indeed rigorous, examination of Heaven.
Afterwards, only two individuals were ultimately chosen. Among these, only one possessed the qualifications to apply the conditions and practice the transcendent spiritual heart method. This chosen one embodies all the exceptional qualities, manifesting the heavenly secrets and disseminating the Great Dao. It is precisely through the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang Lineage" that such karmic conditions have been fulfilled.
The entire series of celestial texts has been bestowed upon the mortal world. Moreover, you may now reflect carefully on how, through firsthand materials, you can grasp and clarify the process of elevating the entire future technological civilization. It is precisely due to this extraordinary and profound cause that the Chongxin lineage has been tested for nine years, enabling it to achieve the present conditions.
The True Buddha Heart School manifests in the human world.
The affinity of "The True Buddha is in the Heart" has manifested the "True Buddha Heart School" as a model in the human world. Whether it can achieve success depends entirely on how you act and fulfill it in the present moment. To bestow upon the Chongxin Hall lineage the establishment of the "China True Buddha Heart Religious Association" as a manifestation in the human world—this is the great lineage of the Dao fulfilled by the Heavens.
From this, one can clearly understand how the wisdom of the overall leader is applied. It is also through imposing all past bottlenecks, difficulties, setbacks, trials, and slander upon you that one can witness the true function of wisely applied adaptability. This outcome ultimately depends on how you conduct yourselves and what actions you take.
The completion of "The Radiance of the Great Dao" further clarifies the overall direction and goals for the entire Chongxin lineage's religious affairs. It truly establishes the guiding objectives for future propagation and elevation, serving as a model for descendants. Only in this way can it genuinely gather and propagate the virtuous affinities of sentient beings, thereby testing the application, enhancement, and fulfillment of wisdom.
A bright life is governed by principle;  
The Great Way brings fulfillment, worthy of celebration.
Wisdom should be applied with truthfulness, guiding and fulfilling the period of deliverance for all beings.
The Azure Sun and Crimson Sun serve as refuge, while the White Sun, though arrived, remains obscure to discern.
The descent of Maitreya has yet to arrive,  
As the unfolding of the reverent heart opens a great pivotal moment.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples; to elevate and manifest the future technological civilization, applying it to the present moment, providing you with the driving force for the growth of wisdom. Without such conditions of cause and circumstance, one would merely remain ordinary and unremarkable. How then could you demonstrate your growth in the propagation and realization of the Great Dao!
The turbulence encountered herein serves to highlight the waves of change. When looking back a thousand years into the future, one may even chuckle at it, for it is nothing when compared to the vastness of the universe. Do you understand? Today, I have troubled everyone, imposing on Chongxin for a while. Observing such a magnificent and imposing momentum truly proves the foresight of the organizers, which is extraordinary and beyond the reach of ordinary people. Congratulations! Congratulations! Farewell, everyone!

The causes and conditions of emptiness differ from the start,  
While the virtue and affection of colorful blossoms run deep.
The Immortal Maiden ascends the sacred altar today,  
Gathering with devoted disciples of the Buddha in reverence.
Good evening to all the Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals—Immortal Elder Han Zhongli—has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." He expounds on the growth and dissemination of a luminous Great Tao, while also extending congratulations and affirming recognition to all students of the Chongxin lineage.
Thus, it becomes clear how to guide the more than 4.2 billion sentient beings and original spiritual Buddha-disciples to gather and return in the future. This will be accomplished and facilitated after the ninth anniversary celebration of the hall. Observing the efforts of all the leaders—without distinction between sect leaders, institute heads, hall masters, or association presidents—and the dedication of all leading cadres, it can further serve as guidance and propagation. Everyone must strive diligently!
Chapter 31: Regulations and Etiquette
## Immortal Maiden of Embroidered Blossoms in the Void
November 25, 2005, the twenty-fourth day of the tenth month in the year of Yiyou (Friday)
Cao opened the great way to benefit the world;  
The nation thrives, the people prosper, blessing all households.
The chapter of returning to transcendence,  
the auspicious chariot on the bright and great path.
Conditions for a Bright Future
The Great Path, radiant and clear, reveals the origins and outcomes of all things. Within the vast cosmos, it reaches every sentient being among the multitude of living souls, offering elevation and transcendence. Through this, one may understand where the obstacles lie for the affectionate original spirits and Buddha-children! Moreover, for the conditions of existence manifested by ignorance and hindrances, the luminous Great Path serves as the essential means for their implementation.
It can be said that for sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha's disciples to attain this, it is accomplished through the conditions of light. For all races in the vast universe and earthly realm, the question of how to elevate and transcend through the great Dao's light requires many conditions to facilitate. If light is directed toward the ignorance and obstacles of the human world, it can directly dissolve them.
In dealing with one's own obstacles, it is important to approach improvement with ease. This not only helps to resolve the manifestations of ignorance and obstruction but also transforms and ameliorates these hindrances, paving the way for a bright path forward. It is essential to understand the conditions for attaining such brightness. By navigating the journey shaped through human experience, one can elevate the role of brightness in future prospects, thereby reaping the benefits of goodness.
Human beings must engage in learning.
Not only can all the sufferings, setbacks, and experiences of torment in the human world be likened to a driving force for elevation! There is a common saying in the world: "Enduring hardship is like taking a tonic—the more bitter, the more nourishing." This very concept provides humanity with a driving force born of adversity.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, when faced with difficulties and trials, often sigh in self-pity, without contemplating how to dissolve obstacles and troubles! One must understand that such predicaments are precisely opportunities for renewed experience and elevation. If life in the human world were too plain and uneventful, it would instead lead to the creation of karma and erode all the goodness within the human heart.
Humanity has long existed within the blessings of favorable karma. If given the chance to look back upon the entire journey, there would be nothing to inspire one to strive for higher transcendence. For all the original spiritual beings and Buddha-children across the vast universe, dwelling in the human world, it is through enduring suffering, hardship, and trials that they accumulate experiences and grow.
This is the means by which the Heavens rectify and elevate the deficiencies of all living beings. If one cannot understand that the Heavens, in their dealings with all sentient beings, often achieve progress through adversity—while a life of mere ordinariness for all people would, on the contrary, gradually erode one’s fighting spirit—this is precisely the great compassion and benevolent grace of the Heavens toward affectionate human beings.
Humans have far too many assessments.
However, upon careful reflection, one can clearly understand that the obstacles one faces are precisely formed by bearing the karmic consequences of past lives! Furthermore, the actions and deeds in this present life serve to fulfill the compensatory role for one's own obstacles and sufferings. This is the very mindset and perspective one must adopt to truly practice the "Mahayana Bodhisattva Path."
How can one elevate the radiance of the Great Dao? Precisely by transcending conditions, one must contemplate how to reconstruct and manifest one's own thinking. This involves dissolving difficulties by addressing problems directly, while also improving the obstacles generated by ignorance. It is essential to understand: how to apply oneself through the accumulation of experiences and, in doing so, eliminate ignorance!
Granting oneself the conditions for self-perfection and transcendence, and putting these into practice, will lead to transformative actions in the human world. If one fails to realize this, they may instead constantly blame fate and others, even going so far as to liken heaven and earth as unfair and unequal, while also being overly harsh on themselves. This is often the way of humanity.
They will lament, having toiled all their lives without ever harming other beings or committing any grave wrongs, why must Heaven treat them this way and inflict such suffering? Yet, through such circumstances and conditions, one can come to understand the entire sequence of events—that it is precisely the accumulated karma from all past lives, cycling and reciprocating in retribution.
Only when the retribution of karma is fully settled will there be light.
This is a gift to oneself, a means of clearing away the karmic cycles and retributions accumulated over lifetimes. However, if there is no "adding causes upon causes and effects upon effects," it is relatively easier to eliminate them. But what is most feared is precisely "adding causes upon causes and effects upon effects," as this can form a truly dreadful vicious cycle.
Thus, it becomes very clear that one can already understand most of what kind of suffering and trials will come in the future or the next life! Moreover, regarding the karmic causes and effects accumulated over countless lifetimes in this vast universe, can they be easily comprehended? How should one completely eliminate and dissolve all past karmic obstacles? Only by doing so can one attain true authenticity!
For the myriad living beings in the mundane world, it is possible to reach a state where the karmic obstacles accumulated over one lifetime or multiple lifetimes can be completely cleared. If one can understand that the environment they are in at this very moment is precisely a situation for repayment, then there is no need to complain about heaven and blame others, nor to sigh in despair. If one can apply Buddhist principles, they can come to understand and establish a heart of repentance.
Furthermore, one can dedicate the merits and sincerely offer up a genuine heart, even willingly performing and accepting. This method of completely resolving karmic obstacles is easily achieved, truly eliminating the retribution from all past karmic entanglements. This precisely distinguishes whether there is sincere repentance and dedication, which respectively aids in the dissolution of karmic obstacles, yielding numerous beneficial effects.
Understanding the concept leads to correction when encountering matters.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, though they may grasp this concept, often find that when trials arise, such notions are swiftly abandoned, leaving them unable to settle their hearts: to sincerely repent, dedicate merits, and genuinely achieve fulfillment! In observing this process, it becomes clear: though the understanding exists, putting it into practice remains elusive.
This will lead to a repeated cycle of entanglement with these karmic obstacles and their causes and effects. Under such conditions, how can one then attain the path of enlightenment? Although the sentient primordial spirits and Buddha’s disciples in the human realm stand at a boundary between ascension and descent, it is possible through human effort to transform and elevate themselves upward!
To be able to face one's own ignorance and completely dissolve all past obstacles—such conditions can also mutually fulfill all difficulties and trials. Although this is an era where karmic retribution accelerates, there are still many who harbor compassion for sentient beings, original spirits, and departed souls, without distinguishing between yin and yang, seeking benefit for both.
Although we find ourselves in a time governed by the law of cause and effect, it is possible to mitigate its retribution to the slightest degree. What is the reason for this? Simply observe one's own: mindset and perspective, coupled with actions taken in response. How should one conduct oneself amidst retribution? It is the responsive mindset that shapes the inner attitude—how then should one achieve this?
In the human world, true peace of mind comes only when one is free from debt.
To truly and completely dissolve and eradicate such suffering and torment, one must ensure that the process carried out under these conditions leaves no trace, no matter how minute. Therefore, through the great grace of Heaven, one can understand how to sincerely repent and dedicate merits to karmic creditors and adversaries, thereby achieving complete resolution.
To dissolve the heart of resentment, it is essential to understand how, within all karmic retribution, one can truly: dedicate merits, repent, and bring fulfillment. Only then can many obstacles on the path of light be reduced. The human world is precisely where experiences are accumulated, refined, and elevated. Regardless of any problems encountered, one can always draw upon one's own experience to apply.
It becomes easy to accumulate until the next encounter, and when the same issue arises again, it can be resolved. This is a fulfillment of such conditions, and throughout the entire process, it allows one to gain profound, firsthand experience. This ensures a genuine resolution with karmic creditors, thereby completing the dissolution of karmic causes and effects across lifetimes.
This extraordinary convergence of conditions is further shaped by the mutual benefit of yin and yang, serving as a process of reconciliation within the human realm. How would you describe it? Precisely, it is founded upon the existence of humanity! Moreover, regardless of time, space, or circumstance, it allows sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be to effortlessly dissolve the obstacles of ignorance.
All accumulated experience will be carried over to the next round.
Moreover, it can accumulate and elevate the experience for the next cycle. If one fails to grasp this point thoroughly, even the slightest trivial matter will lead to sighs, complaints, and blaming of fate. This inevitably adds numerous difficulties and trials in the subsequent examination. The human world is precisely a series of assessments, one after another, unfolding right before our eyes.
If one has not yet cleared this trial, the next one is already waiting for you to step forward and face it. If you can understand this point—that it is to accumulate and resolve the karma of this lifetime—and further realize that it elevates you toward a bright and promising path, how would you view such trials and tribulations? I believe most people are unable to comprehend this!
For practitioners of the Mahayana path, it is like passing through one barrier after another, moving forward step by step to face each test. By easily accumulating and reapplying previous experiences, this becomes the optimal situation and examination process for clearing karmic obstacles. For ordinary beings, however, they often sigh in despair, blaming heaven and others, wondering why, despite a lifetime of diligent religious practice, they continue to face endless calamities.
Moreover, with endless twists and turns, what kind of individuals are you? It must be clear at a glance that distinctions are made precisely among: Mahayana practitioners, those with cultivation, and ordinary beings. All undergo this process to examine themselves, thereby discerning the conditions they manifest and distinguishing the differences between "attainment and non-attainment" in the future!
The Great Path shines bright, truly sublime;  
Each trial in the test is profoundly challenging.
The karmic debts of human life are claimed,  
Once fully resolved, they dissolve into truth.
The conditions of light must be clearly understood,  
And karmic obstacles will also be dissolved.
Hardships in life are no rarity;  
With firm resolve and sincere repentance, the heart leaps with vitality.
This verse! It is for all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children to encourage one another; it is about creating the conditions for enlightenment through one's own efforts and resolving them oneself, and it is also about elevating one's diligence and wisdom. You are precisely in such conditions and circumstances, at the boundary of growth, elevation, or decline in this lifetime.
Thank you all for your hard work. I have spent some time here at the Chongxin Sect, observing that the atmosphere is both splendid and harmonious—a dignified yet warm sacred space. It is evident that the energy here is both powerful and gentle, well-suited for future self-cultivation, guiding sentient beings, and ascending toward transcendence. This truly calls for celebration! Congratulations once again! Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 32: The Benevolent Will of Heaven
##Eight Immortals Elder, Han Xiangzi the Immortal Elder
December 2, 2005, the second day of the eleventh month in the year of Yiyou (Friday)
From the void, auspicious signs arise;  
The rainbow's glow foretells a boundless land.
The Immortal Maiden gathers with virtuous companions,  
Transforming kindness through the retribution of cause and effect.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals—Immortal Elder Cao Guojiu—has descended to compose the twelfth chapter of *The Radiance of the Great Dao*. This chapter elucidates the conditions for the radiance of the Great Dao and addresses how to confront the problems you encounter. Will they lead to sighs of despair or complaints against heaven and others?
Do not think that just because you have entered the Daoist temple to cultivate and practice, you will be free from the entanglements of karmic retribution—that is incorrect! It is essential to understand: regardless of any religion, all are subject to the pursuit and repayment of karma! If one can sincerely repent, make dedications, and bring matters to completion, then it can be easily resolved, thereby bringing an end to one's own karmic retribution.
Only by honestly addressing karmic obstacles and karmic creditors can mutual benefits for both the yin and yang realms be achieved. If this is not done, it will only add causes upon causes and effects upon effects. Regardless of which religion one enters, one must bear the consequences of karmic retribution and all its demands, enabling sentient beings to resolve the accumulated karma of countless lifetimes.
Alas, the path of cultivation is fraught with obstacles,  
For countless lifetimes, karma and deeds have amassed in formidable heaps.
Charitable giving, dedication of merit, and sincere repentance  
Bring mutual benefit and support to both the living and the departed.
Esteemed disciples! The relocation of our lineage to a new sacred site signifies a fresh beginning and a new chapter. While the new environment is still partially under construction and may present minor shortcomings, should you encounter any difficulties in adaptation, please exercise caution when entering and exiting, and guard against being misled or clouding your own judgment. All matters are arranged by the Immortals and Buddhas. We appreciate your dedication and efforts. May all be auspicious. Farewell for now!
Chapter Thirty-Three: Divine Favor and Protection
## Immortal Maiden of the Celestial Blossoms
Lanterns and decorations shine with joy,  
Where virtue is high and fulfillment is full, ease will naturally follow.
The teacher's words nurture and educate with far-reaching impact;  
The great path is bright and the way is broad.
The Necessity of the Main Path of Brightness
The conditions for the radiance of the Great Dao to foster growth, and how to achieve the elevation of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children through the human world, can be accomplished precisely by implementing the conditions for a luminous life. This benefits oneself first, and then benefits all beings. This is the essential manifestation of all conditions of the Great Dao, which must benefit both self and others, embodying true authenticity!
Among the human races of the sentient world, there is a shared pursuit of comfort, peace, and smoothness in life. How can this aspiration be achieved? It is essential to progress step by step in self-transformation, cultivating oneself along the religious path, so that a truly smooth and broad road may unfold. This is accomplished through selflessness and non-action, by implementing principles of equality and balance for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be.
One may seek to transcend and ascend, but how can such conditions truly facilitate elevation? In the context of human existence and its orientation, this represents the dividing line between spiritual ascent and descent. It is essential to undergo transformative actions to achieve this authentically; otherwise, how can one genuinely ascend and surpass their own future?
Human beings are the essence of comfortable existence.
To understand the human world is to recognize it as a Saha world, a realm of five impurities and sufferings where endurance is required. The elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" hold genuine functional benefits for your survival and pursuits, yet they also serve as stumbling blocks hindering your ascent and transcendence. Why is this so? Because the world of sentient beings remains obstructed, unable to break free from the cycle of the six realms of rebirth.
It is precisely generated by such conditions and causes. From the perspective of sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds in the great cosmos, while it may benefit the survival orientation of all beings, it can also hinder their ascent beyond obstacles. For the myriad sentient beings and Buddha-seeds in the great cosmos who aspire to achieve an elevated life, it may unfortunately become an impediment to transcending the human realm.
This kind of hindrance, even without cultivation, can it be transformed? No! How should one minimize the impact of such hindrances, and how can this benefit be directed toward one's own ascension and transcendence? It is through the true reality of the vast universe that elevation occurs, yet for the multitude of original spirit Buddha-children, this remains the most difficult aspect to comprehend.
Furthermore, regarding the entire cosmos, all ascension, transcendence, and the obstacles of descent must be pursued through one's own efforts. If this is not done, one will inevitably go against the path and sink into the cycle of rebirth within the six realms. This principle applies equally to the divine spirits of the sacred path in the cosmos and to all sentient beings, the original spirits, and Buddha's disciples, forming the boundary between "growth and reincarnation."
Humanity stands at the threshold between ascension and downfall.
On one hand, it enables you to ascend and transcend; on the other, it becomes an obstacle hindering your ascent and transcendence. To sink into degradation and reincarnation is relatively easy—in other words, from your perspective, the path to ascension and transcendence is more arduous, while descent is far simpler. Such is the distinction!
The grace of heaven and earth is natural and spontaneous, nurturing all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children. It also serves as the condition for sustaining life, inevitably creating a distinction between ascension and downfall for you in the human world, while providing abundant resources and sustenance. However, such resources and sustenance may also hinder the elevation of your "pure and serene heart." Why is this so?
One must undergo numerous trials and tribulations. The key lies in how to transform such resistance into a driving force through "mindset, perspective, wisdom, and response." It is essential to cultivate oneself through rigorous refinement until reaching a state of mastery. One must truly grow through the essence of such tempering, and moreover, attain a level of accomplishment within a single lifetime.
Without distinguishing between any religions such as "Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam," one must undergo all cultivation for human existence and grow through faith. This requires numerous processes of dedicated practice and refinement, tempered through repeated trials, to build an impervious resistance. In this way, one’s "human nature, body, and spirit" can develop genuine immunity.
It is essential to understand all limitations and obstacles.
When encountering difficulties, if one can emanate an energy body toward oneself, it can replenish one's energy source. This energy body is something that can only be preserved after undergoing the rigorous cultivation that exists within the human world. Can you comprehend this? Wherein lies this mystery? It is precisely in practicing the most profound realization of all things!
One must be confident in the ability to redeem and resolve all past karmic obstacles, while also taking responsibility for this present lifetime—not merely living for the sake of daily necessities such as eating, drinking, excretion, trivialities, and sleep alone! Even if one enters into religious faith, it is sometimes impossible to truly comprehend its essence, thereby achieving elevation and transcendence.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas are thus hindered in their cultivation path, obstructed by their own ignorance and unable to smoothly reform themselves through religious practice. In this process of self-refinement, only by truly aligning with the "laws of heaven and earth" can one effectively proceed.
This is a system established by the Supreme Heaven, implemented according to its statutes and principles. Although the Five Sages of the major religions have conveyed this to all messengers, enabling them to inherit the mission for future generations, the preachers who came after the Five Sages have failed to truly align with the clear statutes and principles set by the Supreme Heaven for cultivation.
The world is in a constant state of flux.
After more than two thousand years of change, it has long since undergone significant transformation and no longer aligns with the current divine principles for achieving fulfillment. This pertains to the systems manifested by the Great Dao, which, in addressing the shortcomings and deficiencies of all religions, serve to resolve one's own accumulated karmic obstacles from the past. Yet, few among humanity and sentient beings undertake cultivation through this path.
If one cannot achieve such improvement, how can there be genuine cultivation and transformation within a single lifetime? When facing the retribution of karmic obstacles and cause-and-effect, it becomes difficult to humble oneself and sincerely engage in acts of "repentance and dedication." Instead, one tends to blame heaven and others, sighing and complaining, filled with endless murmurs and grievances.
Thus, it becomes impossible to specifically address the retribution of karmic obstacles and achieve a lifetime of repayment, which is a hindrance commonly encountered by sentient beings. How then can one truly complete the repayment of karmic retribution? In reflecting on why the enlightened masters and Buddhas urge you to accomplish this repayment within a single lifetime, and even willingly, to dissolve the retribution of karmic repayment!
Allow you to personally realize and experience the process of actions and deeds from past lifetimes. It is precisely through firsthand experience, through the profound and heart-wrenching pain, that one can reflect deeply upon the suffering and thereby improve and dissolve it. This is the compassion of Heaven and the enlightened beings, allowing one to resolve all karmic retributions and repayments in a single lifetime!
How to Comprehend the Functions and Roles of Existence
This kind of karma and karmic obstacles will thus be completely resolved, and one may even willingly make amends. In the future cultivation process, it will undoubtedly become much smoother. This is the compassionate function of the Heavenly Virtue toward all sentient original spirit Buddha-disciples, and because it is personally experienced by these sentient original spirit Buddha-disciples, its effect is bound to be profound and unforgettable.
In the next difficult trial, knowledge will accumulate as experience, culminating in the complete manifestation of wisdom, enabling the true dissolution of karmic obstacles and causality. Regarding the "repayment of karmic causality across lifetimes" as indicated by the Chongxin lineage, you may first accomplish the initial step of dissolution, then proceed to the second step: "fulfilling the mission endowed by heaven."
It is certain that much peace and smoothness can be attained. Do you not say so? Indeed, it is the great compassion of Heaven and the divine beings that descends upon us! This is to be personally experienced, personally redeemed, and personally "fulfilling the mission bestowed by Heaven" through action. How then, by utilizing all functions of the illusory world, can one reach the third step—transcending through "cultivating truth by means of illusion to return to the origin"?
During these nine years, how should one clear and resolve all the foundational teachings and personal karmic obstacles? This is a choice that determines whether one's future path will be smooth and prosperous! It is because of the personal experiences, the firsthand repayment, and even the personal implementation of these teachings.
Where there is elevation, there is transcendent growth.
In the world of human affairs, there exists a true opportunity for elevation through the primary causal body. Such conditions of the Great Dao bring forth illumination, providing the basis for all functions and actions. It is precisely this causal connection that genuinely allows one to achieve accomplishment and transcendence in this lifetime. Through this very point of affinity, one can repay the karmic debts accumulated over countless lifetimes, thereby resolving and clearing all grievances and obligations.
When you encounter the retribution of karmic obstacles, will you still feel unwilling or reluctant, even complaining endlessly, and think that the immortals and Buddhas are unresponsive and do not protect the efforts you have painstakingly made? After so many years of sacrifice and devotion, you end up regressing in your cultivation, facing obstacles that are extremely difficult to overcome.
Can you carefully contemplate that within the works composed by the immortals and Buddhas today, many instances of achieving through opposition are hidden, specifically for you in this lifetime, to reach the refined and cultivated fruit of Buddhahood? All the achievements through opposition in the Great Dao’s radiance are intended to allow you to grow and transcend in this single lifetime. Reflect deeply upon this, and you will surely come to understand and attain it!
The Great Way's radiance spreads across the cosmos,  
Its virtue in the light of the Great Way leaves no doubt.
Conditions must be personally experienced; only through transformation and gradual refinement can they become truly fitting.
A good match is forged through adversity,  
While smooth fortune seldom returns to the primordial state.
Adverse conditions forge the foundation of the great path,  
The Chongxin Fifth Phase manifests even more clearly.
This verse! To be shared and encouraged among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples alike; it is certain that in the future, through one's own diligent efforts, true realization will be witnessed; haha! Amidst the sounds of celebration, the Chongxin writings descend, everyone has worked hard. Observing this momentum, it is already incomparable to the past—congratulations! Congratulations! Having disturbed the Chongxin Hall for some time, everyone has toiled, farewell!

##Eight Immortals Elder, Immortal Elder Li Tieguai
In the vast void, the great cosmos revolves;  
The cultivation is done by the disciples of the Crane lineage.
The Immortal Maiden today meets with the virtuous student,  
Together discussing the origins of the great path through everyday conversation.
Good evening to all saints and buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals—Immortal Elder Zhang Guolao—has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao": The Light of the Great Tao. This will provide a clear analysis of all the confusions and obstacles you have faced over these nine years. The choice lies with you—to accept or reject, to differentiate between what is to be embraced or discarded.
Thus, it becomes clear that for this generation of humanity, the conditions for transcending and returning can be established, enabling a true elevation for all of you—this is the reality. If not, allowing you to descend once more into the cycle of rebirth within the turbid and afflicted world in the next life—would you desire it? If not, then it is essential to personally experience, personally repay, and personally act—only then is it correct!
It is precisely by transforming the "repayment of karmic debts accumulated over lifetimes" into the genuine fulfillment of "one's divinely bestowed mission" that one can truly strive toward "cultivating the true self through the illusory world" and return to one's original nature. Moreover, by leveraging "the transcendence offered by contemporary technology" to achieve great accomplishments spanning countless lifetimes, what do you think of this? Can you cherish it? Reflect upon it yourself!
Repaying the karmic debts accumulated over lifetimes, fulfilling the mission endowed by heaven.
Cultivating the True through the False to Return to the Origin,  
Transcending the Present through Technology in the Moment.
Today, we are honored to have Master Ding and other esteemed predecessors and virtuous individuals from the "Taoyuan Longde Temple" visit our lineage. We hope to support and uplift one another, working together to guide and assist over 402 million sentient beings and original spirits of all Buddhas’ disciples in achieving their return and transcendence.
The dragon opens the great path to unfold the cosmos;  
Virtue, wondrous as heaven's design, has now arrived.
Gongde guides all Buddha spirits; Dingdao awaits the virtuous affinity of great virtue.
This verse! It is shared with all virtuous connections at the Longde Palace as mutual encouragement; may it serve as a means for mutual fulfillment for oneself and all original spirit Buddha-disciples, to transcend and return—hoping for it! Hoping for it! Tomorrow brings another "Chan opportunity to break through delusion," another great chance to guide virtuous connections. How much you can accomplish is a choice you must make for yourselves.
The ninth anniversary Dharma assembly is approaching. It is essential to prepare everything and make an early effort; otherwise, we may find ourselves in disarray when the time comes. I hope that the experience accumulated year after year will genuinely enhance your knowledge and wisdom. May all be auspicious and as you wish. I entrust the temple head: kindly and warmly receive visiting friends from other temples. Farewell to all!

##Void-Colored Numinous Immortal Maiden
Lan Caihe, the Immortal, illuminates with radiance,  
As He Xiangu descends, the Great Dao draws near.
The Fifth Phase of the New Path of Chongxin  
Benefits Both Self and Others, Rooted in the Original Heart
In this world, mutual self-interest also benefits others.
The human world manifests as a realm of light, which not only yields benefits for one's own future and present from all accumulated experiences of existence, but also elevates, nurtures, and benefits all living beings. To comprehend and take charge of the conditions for such benefit is to provide genuine, steadfast protection and grace for all original spirits, Buddha's disciples, and beings of virtue.
It is essential to recognize that in the future, all original spirit disciples of the Buddha will be able to benefit both themselves and others. This means they will possess abundant blessings, enabling them to extend their surplus fortune to sentient beings who lack it. If one is oneself insufficient, struggling with basic sustenance or lacking essential conditions, what then can be done?
In response: blessings such as fortune, sustenance, clothing, shelter... If one lacks in merit, how can one possibly offer alms to all sentient beings, the original spirit Buddha-children? If one cannot even achieve warmth and fullness, with surplus blessings, how can one have the means to distribute or give alms to all deficient sentient beings?
It is precisely because there is a condition of deficiency. If one cannot understand that the surplus of merit one possesses—accumulated through one’s own stores of virtue—can be used to mutually aid beings who lack such resources, then how can one lend or give away one’s own surplus merit? In doing so, one not only ensures one’s own sustenance and well-being but also enables sentient beings to sustain and nourish one another.
Human beings survive by assisting one another.
How to benefit oneself while also benefiting others is precisely achieved by first accumulating surplus blessings within oneself, which can then be spread throughout the vast world. From the perspective of all races in the human world: one can first bless and enrich oneself, then use that abundance to benefit others. If one lacks what is necessary for oneself, how can one possibly contribute to ensuring warmth and sustenance for all humanity?
If sentient beings lack sustenance, it manifests as a deficiency in provisions for food, and further extends to clothing, shelter, transportation... All blessings and fortunes are fundamentally achieved within the human world. This also pertains to all conscious primordial spirits and Buddha's children: if one cannot attain an abundance of personal blessings, it is due to a lack of accumulated merit in such fortunes.
It is essential to understand why one currently lacks certain things, and why others can easily attain them. This distinction is shaped by causes and conditions from past lives. Thus, one can come to realize that blessings such as surplus fortune, clothing, food, shelter, and mobility... all truly benefit oneself.
Talent is inherently truthful, leaving no deficiency within oneself. Why then must one undergo the accumulation of knowledge to become the source of wisdom? How must one first attain an abundance of blessings within oneself before having enough to give? This also relates to the first lesson in faith taught to all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children upon entering a religion: generosity!
Sentient beings must have sharing.
One must be able to share what one possesses with sentient beings in need. This is what can be called "having a share to give" (in Taiwanese pronunciation). Those who have such a share to give will surely accumulate abundant blessings through their acts of charity. In the future, what is given will be returned, as they practice giving through the process taught by religion. This is the first lesson for you upon entering the path of religion.
It is an act of "distribution" of one's surplus blessings through almsgiving, which involves sharing one's surplus with those who are lacking. This benefits both oneself and others, as one has surplus blessings to give and can even share them with others. Both the giver and the receiver are necessary; without these two parties, how can one distribute one's surplus blessings through almsgiving?
It is precisely because one possesses surplus blessings that one can establish a profound foundation of abundant merit, accumulating vast energy. How, then, should one give? This is why in religious teachings, generosity is regarded as the foremost virtue. Through generosity, one can transcend miserliness and greed. Thus, it is essential to reflect on one's mindset, actions, and responses in this practice.
This requirement for almsgiving does not necessarily involve wisdom; often, it is simply driven by a heart of compassion, empathy, and pity to share one’s own surplus with those in need. What does this accumulation mean for the future? In human teachings, it is precisely this act of almsgiving that accumulates merit.
For almsgiving, it is essential to embody the threefold purity.
In the present moment, it is essential to grasp the essence of giving, the motivation behind it, the conditions for it, the recipients, the time and space in which it occurs, and the causes and circumstances involved. All these aspects accumulate for the future, enabling one to act appropriately in the human realm. This is where "non-action" manifests, forming a foundation for beneficial and virtuous outcomes.
There are also some human beings who give only a little, yet harbor extravagant hopes of receiving great blessings in the future. Unaware of how to practice giving within the framework of the "threefold purity" — free from attachment to giver, receiver, and the act itself — they fail to understand that only by eliminating such extravagant desires and greed through their own acts of giving can they truly benefit themselves. The key lies in how one acts in the present moment and the mindset with which one gives.
Because, helping others is the foundation of happiness and a fundamental tenet of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Middle Kingdom. In truth, throughout the vast world, regardless of race or nation, there are many who extend their surplus blessings and share with other sentient beings in need, seldom expecting anything in return.
It is essential to understand how to benefit both oneself and others without causing any displeasure or reluctance in others. The key lies in ensuring that all actions intended to benefit others must first benefit oneself, and then extend to the broader public. This constitutes the condition for benefiting others, allowing one to truly experience the joy of benefiting both oneself and others, thereby elevating the practice of effortless action.
Human beings must also embrace non-action.
Thus, some may ask: regarding the function and actions of benefiting others, is it necessary to first benefit the public before benefiting oneself? Moreover, concerning such actions in the current era, some say: that has long since declined. In today's age, most human beings are solely driven by self-interest, and few are truly capable of benefiting others before benefiting themselves.
Such individuals can be described as exceedingly rare! If such people exist, heaven may indeed bestow greater favor upon them. For by benefiting others before oneself, can one not amass abundant resources for oneself? It is precisely through the accumulation of wisdom from knowledge that one can truly manifest the noble act of benefiting both others and oneself.
In acting for the benefit of others, it is often essential that the action benefits both oneself and others to be considered correct. If it is difficult to truly benefit oneself, how can one benefit others? Such thinking is merely a fool's dream! Humanity must first accumulate sufficient blessings and surplus before it can truly engage in actions that benefit both oneself and others, whether for future generations, the coming era, or the present self.
It is precisely by adhering to the principles and guidelines established by Heaven that one may engage in virtuous deeds that benefit both oneself and others. Such actions can bring blessings to the multitude of original spirits and Buddha-children. This benefit extends not only to the immediate gains for oneself and others but can also be expanded to the entire world. Such a remarkable outcome is truly a rare treasure to be sought, allowing one to accumulate genuine merit for oneself.
In truth, every person serves all sentient beings.
Only then can one truly make achievements for oneself, for all sentient beings, and for future generations that will endure for countless ages. Such conditions of cause and effect must be genuinely understood, distinguishing them based on the fullness of one’s own blessings and affinities. This aligns with the fundamental principles of Heaven and allows all future accumulated blessings to be shared with the multitude of original spirit Buddha-children.
Fan Zhongyan (Duke Wenzheng) once said: "Be the first to bear the world's hardships, and the last to enjoy its comforts." It can thus be said that if one were to grow up in the present era, this sentiment serves as the best portrayal of benefiting both others and oneself. Moreover, since ancient times, there have been many virtuous predecessors who set examples for the world and left behind admirable customs for us to learn from.
Only then can one truly benefit oneself and others. It is essential to understand that one must first possess an abundance of personal blessings and resources, free from any concerns about the future, before engaging in actions that benefit others. This can be described as truly genuine, allowing the benefits to be shared among all sentient beings, providing what is lacking or insufficient, and thus distributing the benefits for all to partake in.
It is essential to understand how much surplus fortune one possesses, and whether this surplus fortune can truly benefit oneself, or merely a few others. If it can bring lasting benefits to oneself and to all beings, it will generate abundant surplus fortune for future generations, allowing it to be passed down from one generation to the next. What do you think? In truth, this is how the world of humanity operates.
Fuyu creates for himself,  
Giving and bestowing bring incomparable joy.
One must understand the principle of the three wheels being empty,  
Without attachment to mind or phenomena, all will be as one wishes.
Benefiting both self and others as the guiding principle,  
sentient beings shall not suffer loss.
Abundance and lack offset each other;  
All share in surplus blessings and sufficiency.
This verse! May it inspire all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas; let the actions that benefit oneself and others lay the foundation for the propagation of the Dharma in the 21st century. I hope for it! I hope for it! The momentum of Chongxin is truly magnificent and vast, far surpassing that of the past. Blessings! Blessings! Having disturbed the Chongxin lineage for a time, I now reunite with old friends. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 36: Auspiciousness and Good Fortune
##Eight Immortals, Immortal Lady He
From the void, destiny descends in solemn grace;  
Adorned with blossoms, reverent hearts unite as one.
The Immortal Maiden gathers with the virtuous scholars;  
The grand unfolding of the fifth phase is soon to come.
Good evening to all the saints, sages, sentient beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals, Immortal Lan Caihe, has descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." This chapter elaborates on the conditions for benefiting both oneself and others, conveying to all compassionate original spirit Buddha-children that when seeking to benefit others and oneself, it is essential to possess abundant blessings and surplus virtue—only then can it be considered the true path!
Otherwise, if one possesses only meager blessings and, after giving alms, finds the source of generosity exhausted—thereby affecting one’s livelihood—how could one ever attain abundant and complete fulfillment? It is essential to understand that this condition precisely embodies the principle of "the three spheres being empty" (the giver, the receiver, and the gift are all devoid of inherent existence), which mutually fulfills all parties. This is indeed an action of non-action. Can you all achieve such a condition? Strive diligently!

讚引、頌賀、序言
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Assembly
Han De heralds prosperity with auspicious signs,  
While Xiang Tiao's great path spreads the truth far and wide.
The Master said: "Expand transformation to ferry all beings; Yin and Yang support each other, heralding enduring strength."
In this world, yin and yang mutually benefit and assist one another.
To practice self-benefit and benefiting others, and to grant sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples the possibility of transcendence and return, those who seek self-benefit must first accumulate abundant merits. Only then can they reach the stage of benefiting others, using their surplus blessings to bestow upon and disseminate to those who are lacking. This is carried out primarily through the karmic connections rooted in all human realms across the vast universe.
After achieving self-benefit, one can then benefit others. Furthermore, it is only through the mutual support of yin and yang, which brings benefit to both, that one can attain a state free from any setbacks or obstacles. This is what is meant by the principles of Qian and Kun. How, then, can we integrate Qian and Kun to manifest the righteous and illuminating function of the Dao? In the past, all that pertained to the Kun principle in the human world inevitably relied on the Qian principle for sustenance.
To this day, the era has long seen the rise of women, with mutual equality in the workplace and employment. This can be described as "when the feminine reaches its peak, it will inevitably surpass the flourishing masculine." In the human world, the conditions for survival and dependence lie precisely in mutual support for the prosperity of families, and for the broader society itself, this will foster fair, just, and equal opportunities.
When yin and yang complement each other, they yield favorable outcomes.
Furthermore, how can we create such conditions for mutual support? It is clear that the present era has long moved away from the outdated notion of "men managing external affairs and women managing domestic affairs." It can be said that without the complementary role of the feminine, humanity lacks the nurturing essence of the Earthly principle to achieve wholeness. It is also evident that "the solitary feminine cannot give birth, nor can the solitary masculine grow," a law governed by the principles of heaven and earth.
It can be said that the current era is gradually entering a situation where the feminine energy prevails. Under such conditions, it is possible to act accordingly, allowing the "yin and yang" to complement each other, thereby reducing many deficiencies and shortcomings. In the present age, the power of the feminine earth (kun yin) has already surpassed that of the masculine yang. This is the effect of the transition between the hours of noon and the afternoon.
The future will undoubtedly be an era where the feminine principle can hold its head high, a world where the yin prevails over the yang, which is already gradually arriving. They complement each other to achieve family harmony. From another perspective, the "world of the living and the realm of the departed" can be distinguished by the influences of the sun, moon, stars, the duality of heaven and earth, and the differences between men and women.
From this, one can understand that the existence of the yin aspect serves a mutually supportive function in the human world. Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, if they possess only the yang of the Qian but lack the yin of the Kun for support, are missing the complementary half that enables mutual fulfillment! Would humanity have only daytime without night? Could you all never rest? Surely not!
Self-interest is the universal law of humanity for benefiting others.
In the human world, all things are equal and mutually reciprocal. The human realm and the underworld exist in a state of mutual opposition. How can one, after understanding self-interest and personal benefit, then benefit others? Only then can we speak of whether yin and yang can benefit both sides, and whether they can mutually support each other. It is essential to truly comprehend the foundation upon which mutual assistance is based.
Given such conditions, how can the descendants in the yang world show compassion for their ancestors and relatives in the yin underworld? Moreover, how can the mutually beneficial interaction between yin and yang be achieved? Sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples often fail to comprehend in the human realm: how are the ancestors and relatives in the yin underworld currently living? And how are they coping?
Recognizing one's own inadequacies, one feels even less fortunate to bear the burden. In the past, ancestors and loved ones, in the process of repaying all karmic debts, often toiled tirelessly for the sake of a complete family. They dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to ensuring the survival and comfort of future generations, enduring all hardships encountered. How, then, can such circumstances be changed?
How can one perform the ritual of transformation and deliverance? Is it possible to allow the ancestors in the underworld to have the opportunity to engage in mutual support and reliance with oneself? This can truly achieve benefits for both the realms of yin and yang, enabling mutual assistance that benefits oneself, benefits future descendants, or benefits deceased ancestors and relatives.
How to Honor Deceased Ancestors and Loved Ones
Furthermore, it is built upon the foundation of yin and yang, for it is through the operation of these conditions that the human world possesses a physical body, enabling a tangible driving force. This makes it more substantial than the realm of yin and the ancestors of the past, which lack a corporeal existence. It can thus be understood that the function performed by the physical body is indeed the genuine and authentic execution of transformation and nurturing.
It is through the functions of the physical body, when directed toward actions in the phenomenal world, that true efficacy and benefit are achieved. In the realm of the afterlife, precisely because the tangible functions of the phenomenal world are absent, signals of distress may be involuntarily emitted to descendants or blood-related ancestral relatives. This is something that the departed ancestors themselves would not wish to happen.
Moreover, it is difficult for one to comprehend that the telepathic waves emitted inevitably affect future descendants or relatives by blood. This constitutes a profound and challenging obstacle to understand. You may gain clarity on this remarkably sublime relationship and karmic connection through the celestial scripture "The Great Dao Has Sentiments," authored by the Chongxin lineage.
This is precisely the challenging aspect of the educational and cultural curriculum established by Heaven. Moreover, none of the classics from the past have ever addressed this issue. When ancestors and loved ones in the underworld are deeply trapped in suffering and often find no means of rescue, they emit telepathic waves. These waves, in turn, resonate with their interconnected descendants and those bound by blood ties, creating a mutual spiritual connection.
If there is interference from mutual blood ties.
Only then is there an opportunity to ensure that after the distress signal is sent, all those who receive the telepathic waves can sense it. The only difference lies in the depth of each person's accumulated blessings, which determines the varying degrees of mutual energy frequency. This serves as a warning for future generations, while also influencing the blessings and fortunes of their descendants in the mortal world.
Is it not necessary for you to bear the burden, nor be disturbed, simply because you are responding to the cries for help from your ancestors who are signaling their descendants for aid? This is indeed too difficult! It is precisely those who possess the capability and surplus blessings to mutually fulfill one another, and who can also radiate the power of thought waves, that do so for the sake of blood relatives and future generations.
It is precisely those connected by the same genetic energy field who are bound to share many blood relations, and can simultaneously receive from one another. However, based on the extent of their own fortune, they are distinguished by whether they endure the depletion or assault of telepathic waves. Sentient beings cannot comprehend the entirety of this process, so how could they interfere with their descendants?
Most sentient beings are only aware of the dreams revealed at night, as well as the manifestations, personal encounters, and spiritual responses—these represent a rather clear form of responsive manifestation. Can you comprehend the true nature of all dreams revealed during the night or in slumber? Most human beings also find it exceedingly difficult to grasp the meaning within this!
SOS Signal Due to Bloodline Interference
This situation is also present in the current moment. Some may think it is merely worry, or believe it is merely an illusion formed by excessive internal heat. Such circumstances are ubiquitous in the present time. If one fails to understand the necessity of the mutual support between yin and yang, it will inevitably add numerous obstacles and troubles to one's future path and prospects.
Under such circumstances, why would one's own dreams have such an effect? If it occurs repeatedly, it is precisely the departed loved ones exhausting their own energy to manifest a call for help. This indicates the existence of a yin-yang interplay within the process of dream manifestation, serving as a plea to their living descendants in the yang world, revealed and manifested to evoke a response.
When observing the living reality of all human races in the world of sentient beings, one will encounter many obstacles and adversities in their own survival orientation. However, it is often impossible to fully understand the entire context and origins of these challenges. This, in turn, becomes an obstacle for intellectuals in the modern era, who fundamentally refuse to believe that it is the pleas for help from their deceased loved ones.
It would also mean turning a deaf ear to the pleas for help from ancestors and loved ones in the underworld. From the perspective of the deceased relatives in the spirit realm who still harbor affection, this is indeed a rather cruel and heartless reality. Moreover, many believe that since all deceased relatives have long passed away, why should they not rely on their own abilities to improve and elevate themselves?
Telepathic waves seek rescue through blood ties.
Why then would one send telepathic waves to seek help? Moreover, this frequently interferes with oneself and future descendants. This is because there exists a physical body that is real in the mortal world, as well as an intangible spiritual form. Such ancestral relatives can only transmit energy waves through karmic connections, making it difficult for them to manifest with a real physical body.
To be reborn as a human again is not something that can be achieved instantly. It must rely on the causes and conditions created by Heaven, and one must wait until the causes and conditions for being born as a human are met before it can be realized. This requires a considerable period of waiting, and it also depends on whether there is even the possibility of being reborn as a human. It is absolutely not a matter of "being a hero again in twenty years."
It is never so simple to have one's wishes fulfilled just like that! For some, it takes ten years, twenty years, thirty years, fifty years, a hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years, a thousand years, two thousand years... With all these spans of waiting across time and space, how can one truly comprehend the reality of such conditions?
It is absolutely not as some ignorant youths of today claim: "If I die now, in twenty years I'll be a hero again"—such a thing is impossible! For if one lacks great karmic affinity in the present life, how could one possibly become a hero again after twenty years? It is far more likely that one would remain trapped in the underworld indefinitely!
Human beings must not commit suicide over trivial matters.
If fate has not yet decreed the end, each day will inevitably replay the moment of death repeatedly, presenting itself continuously. This torment and suffering, far more intense than any experienced in the human world—by thousands of times—make it exceedingly difficult to be reborn as a human again. Such an opportunity for rebirth is rarely granted.
One must wait until their natural lifespan ends before they can possibly leave the prison of the City of Untimely Death in the underworld. Moreover, in each of the next seven lifetimes after rebirth, they must commit suicide again. This is an utterly terrifying issue. Under such circumstances, is it even possible to have the true causes and conditions for genuine elevation and transcendence in the future? It seems highly unlikely!
The divine truth elucidated herein serves to rectify the erroneous notions prevalent in the human world, applying these corrections within the realm of human affairs. As for the path that lies ahead for each individual—whether it will be smooth or rugged, straightforward or winding—it must ultimately be forged through one's own actions, guided by the driving force behind one's deeds as the fundamental principle.
Filial piety repays the kindness of ancestors and relatives for elevation.
This precisely illustrates the true efficacy of the interplay between yin and yang. If one can offer multifaceted salvation to ancestors and loved ones in the netherworld, it will be seen by oneself and by Heaven as a benefit to both realms—yin and yang. Whether you currently possess such capability, and whether your energy can transcend these boundaries, depends entirely on your own mindset, perspectives, and thoughts!
Under such conditions, does it involve making choices based on the virtuous karma of ancestors and relatives in the underworld? Moreover, how do you understand that what you have given is often reciprocated by "filial descendants in the mortal world" as a form of gratitude and dedication? Such returns often come openly or subtly, ensuring you never face true hardship.
It can help ancestors and loved ones transcend suffering, yet the choice ultimately stems from one's own contemplation and perspective, serving as a guide for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas on their return journey. Can you achieve fulfillment for both "ancestors and loved ones, as well as present family members"? This distinction arises precisely from the choices one makes, representing a mutual fulfillment that benefits both the spiritual and earthly realms.
Benefiting oneself and others is a blessing;  
Giving alms should be within one's means.
Yin and yang complement each other appropriately,  
Their mutual benefit forms the very foundation of achievement.
Auspicious fortune flourishes, a chance for cultivation—  
Fulfill the present moment, your own physical form.
A single step may err by a thousand miles;  
Human karma shifts in the present moment.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples. Through the "Transmission of Heavenly Truth," the complementary functions of yin and yang are imparted downward, offering you a foundation for contemplation and guidance in thought. Observe this momentum—vast and magnificent indeed, worthy of joy and celebration! Having disturbed Chongxin Hall for a time, we shall meet again, everyone!

讚引、頌賀、序言
##The Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole
From the void, causes and conditions bring forth growth;  
In a world adorned with flowers, virtue ripples far and wide.
The Immortal Maiden today meets with affection,  
The Great Path shines bright, more auspicious than ever.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, one of the Eight Immortals, Han Xiangzi, has descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," elucidating the mutual support of yin and yang. This addresses your mindsets and perspectives, enabling mutual benefit for yourselves and others, as well as for your ancestors and loved ones.
Next, it is essential for yin and yang to complement each other and for husband and wife to mutually support one another. Only in this way can the departed ancestors and relatives in the netherworld, as well as one's own family and loved ones in the human realm, achieve mutual fulfillment. This is the true path! It is hoped that by understanding the process and essence of the immortals and buddhas' teachings today, humanity may gain another opportunity to enhance wisdom and broaden understanding of profound causes and conditions.
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void and Spiritual Will
Plums fall to earth and take root anew,  
Iron trees bloom with silver flowers, self-renewed.
All beings of the Dao ascend to heaven; creating a future where technology thrives.
Creating the Well-being of Humanity
In the process of technological civilization, to bestow the creative virtues upon all future beings—that is, to extend the Great Dao into the mundane world—it is necessary to traverse numerous times and conditions, accumulating bit by bit over time. This cannot be achieved overnight; it must be passed down through the human world, taking root as the primary cause and condition.
Only then can we truly elevate future generations. Moreover, all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas and disciples come to the human world to nurture life, existing in this realm as individuals and centered around themselves. Therefore, each one is a protagonist, each one is also a supporting character, and each one is cherished by Heaven.
It is through the dissemination of knowledge and experience that each and every primordial spirit and Buddha-child, as individual units, becomes both protagonist and supporting character. Each participates in and contributes to the functional dynamics created during the Earth’s cosmic cycle, making it clear to all sentient primordial spirits and Buddha-children that their own actions and deeds revolve around their individual selves.
This kind of environment, where everything surrounding each individual serves as an object, whether it is the subject as the protagonist or the object as the supporting role, all participate in this cosmic cycle to foster greater growth. It is akin to a play being performed. How should it be performed to achieve success? The key lies in each individual recognizing their own significance, as well as the significance of others, so that they may interconnect and collectively determine the success or failure of the play.
Creating a Future of Happiness and Survival
Allow all participating actors and the audience to express themselves, enabling immersion within the play-within-a-play. This is to say to everyone: one must understand how to position oneself throughout the performance—whether as the lead or a supporting role, or as any character type such as *sheng*, *dan*, *jing*, *mo*, or *chou*—so as to contribute to the success of the entire theatrical production.
Whether a play is captivating or not entirely depends on whether all participants perform with dedication or merely go through the motions. How the performance unfolds is determined by each individual and the collective as a whole. It requires making choices, discerning judgment, and, above all, working together in harmony to achieve a state of perfection.
This act of creation can be understood as a process in which one gives and receives from all that one possesses, allowing clarity on how each stage unfolds. Whether one exerts effort in the performance directly influences the success or failure of the entire play, and it is closely tied to all participants, whose dedication ultimately reveals the true outcome.
It can be understood that in the human world, each person plays a role—be it *sheng*, *dan*, *jing*, *mo*, or *chou*—or serves as either a lead or a supporting actor. What determines whether a play is performed successfully? Do we all comprehend the essence of the drama being staged? And how does each participant fulfill their respective role?
Life is like a play, and the play mirrors life.
Because it is through such performance opportunities that a play can truly come to life, merging the performers and the audience into one. The difference between a good and a poor performance, and whether its quality is recognized or not, will determine whether there will be another chance to perform in the future.
If it merely fades into silent oblivion, the creation of a good opportunity hinges entirely on the performers' own experience, wisdom, responses, and actions. Given that such conditions can be clearly discerned, one must consider whether all of one’s own performance opportunities will be affirmed and appreciated by the audience—or whether one should affirm and appreciate oneself.
At the very juncture of the next opportunity, every sentient being and original spirit of Buddha’s disciples is participating in the grand play of this cosmic cycle! The question is whether you can comprehend this process—how, in all your performances, you may truly integrate the experience and effort you have devoted.
It can be clearly understood that within the human world, technology will become more authentic and flourish more vigorously than all current human-world survival-oriented creations and inventions. Particularly regarding future technological imaging devices, they will undoubtedly be capable of clearly discerning everything on celestial bodies millions of miles away.
Providing all conveniences for the multitude of human beings
Is it possible that through the advancements of future technological civilization, all the advanced scientific and technological achievements that have not yet descended upon the Earth's star system from the heavens could be brought down to the human world? This form of technological civilization would also make it remarkably easy for the myriad original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the human realm to achieve comfort, convenience, and widespread accessibility in all aspects of their survival orientation.
Such conditions, in their role of borrowing and leveraging, have already been integrated into the cognitive framework of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains. This has long been a predetermined policy of Heaven, and the technological creations of this future civilization will directly benefit all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. It can thus be clearly understood why such a civilizational evolution is necessary, and why it is precisely through the planet Diming that it is established!
The grace of the heavens serves as a guiding example for the future cosmic galaxies, and it greatly aids in elevating the technological civilization of the human world on the Diming Star. How to harness such conditions for advancement is an experience that enriches one's own life, truly benefiting the survival and direction of the human world.
Furthermore, for all of you participating in this cosmic eon, there exists a profound karmic connection accumulated over lifetimes, which serves as a foundation for elevation. This enables you, through religious refinement, to undergo purification and ascension. Only in this way can you genuinely contribute to the future technological civilization with extensive research and innovation, thereby benefiting all sentient beings. How, then, can one understand and fulfill such conditions for elevation?
Life is like a drama, performed for survival.
It is essential to genuinely elevate one's own energy body, as this is the true way for humanity to be guided by research and creation. Under such conditions of cause and effect, everyone will participate in the grand performance of life, where each is both the protagonist and the supporting role, each is both the subject and the object.
This type: the roles of Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Chou—can any one of them be omitted? All are performed from within the nurturing of this primordial assembly, enabling you, in the orientation of existence, to not differentiate between the fulfillment of your own family, or employment in the workplace and religious faith, as well as the space of survival on Earth—all are thus!
If one can carefully examine, are you not, in every moment and environment, performing the script of your own opportunities? Under such conditions of cause and effect, how many of you truly realize that this script is precisely the accumulation of your own efforts, enabling the recreation and realization of rich experiences for yourselves.
Whether this performance can incorporate the growth and benefits of reconstructing your own experiences depends on whether future sentient beings and spiritual disciples can effortlessly partake in the blessings of benefiting all beings. There is one principle: although the time and space of the performance are as they are, they are genuinely derived from the reality that exists in the realm of true essence.
The Necessity of Evolving Actions for Well-being
All actions undertaken for survival and dependence, whether they yield long-term benefits for oneself and future generations, can be observed through the opportunities and circumstances presented in the unfolding of time. How much have you done? How much have you given? And how much benefit will you ultimately reap?
All of this stems from one's own efforts, striving to achieve a balance between input and output. Sometimes, this balance cannot be achieved, or even after careful calculation, the gains still fall short of the efforts expended. In such cases, one can only hope to work harder next time, thereby genuinely accumulating knowledge and wisdom through experience.
In life, one exists not only for oneself but also for others. Only by gathering everyone together and integrating into a larger collective life can this grand play be performed to perfection. As for all the efforts everyone has made, should we not reflect upon them once the play has come to an end?
Can we reflect through the script? Can we make adjustments in the present moment? It all depends on how you perform in the play! Whether you desire perfection, beauty, insufficiency, or deficiency—all can be grasped and shaped by your own hands! This forms all affirmations and denials in the human world, and the choices that follow!
Life is a play staged on the world's grand theater;  
Evolution and success depend on one's own endeavor.
The well-being of future generations is built upon the accumulated experiences of those who came before.
Creating a Great Civilization of Technology  
Sentient Beings Benefit All Living Creatures
All is created in the present moment,  
The journey of life is deeply etched in memory.
This verse! It is for all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples to study together; it conveys the true cause and condition of descending to transform, through the illumination of the Great Dao in writing. Within the writing, heavenly secrets are revealed, and each person's insights may differ. Wielding the pen! Wielding the pen! I pray not to be laughed at for this; I thank everyone for your hard work and apologize for disturbing Chongxin. Farewell, everyone!
## The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei
The true Dharma descends through the void of cause and condition,  
As the radiant spirit descends into the mortal realm.
The Immortal Maiden comes today to take her turn on duty,  
The Great Path shines bright, unfolding its vast and profound way.
Good evening to all saints, sages, fellow practitioners, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals—Immortal Elder Li Tieguai—has descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." In this chapter, he elaborates on the creation of a future technological civilization, using the metaphor of life as a theatrical performance to distinguish between all varying perceptions.
Furthermore, in all evolutionary processes of heaven and earth, whether oriented toward survival or the nurturing of life, it remains the same. How to truly benefit from the evolutionary workings of the Great Dao is a matter of genuine concern for one's own future, as it can truly establish the elevation of human existence. Since you have all participated in the unfolding of this cosmic cycle, how then should you genuinely elevate yourselves? This is the reality of the matter. Reflect upon it deeply yourselves.
## Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void
Lotus blooms grace the spring earth in full array,  
Yet the immortal lotus holds no wonder in its way.
The maiden may cultivate to attain the path of immortality,  
Creating and pioneering the great covenant of the Dao.
In this world, it is essential to pursue research, invention, and creation.
Civilization and technology shape the myriad beings, as well as the survival processes of sentient original spirits and Buddha’s children. This is anchored in the tangible realm of the human world, precisely because the tangible realm is a truly substantial plane of all existence. In every aspect of survival, it aligns with humanity’s faculties: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and bodily actions—all of which are genuinely and authentically manifested.
Human beings can perceive all forms and colors with their eyes, which is known as the "heavenly eye"; they can hear all sounds with their ears, thus called the "heavenly ear"; and they can detect scents and odors with their nose, referred to as the "nose's penetration" or "breath's penetration." In the context of the human world, this signifies true and thorough understanding!
If viewed through the lens of mind-reading supernatural power: it is precisely about entering into and relying on one's own "thoughts and consciousness," thereby understanding the thought processes and consciousness of both oneself and others, which is then called "mind-reading supernatural power"! Furthermore, it serves to fulfill and provide all the benefits in the human world through: celestial vision, celestial hearing, mind-reading, and the spiritual power of miraculous abilities.
The divine power and strength of humanity in the present age.
Due to the "supernatural power of locomotion," one can traverse nations in an instant. Just as before the celebration of the Chongxin Sect's temple today, disciples from abroad returned to the temple to support one another. They easily relied on high-speed aircraft to cross entire oceans, arriving at their destination in the blink of an eye. This is made possible by the conditions brought forth by technological civilization.
It was the divine power of creation that endowed beings with the ability to traverse oceans and lakes in ancient times, a feat incomparable to the present era. Though such supernatural abilities existed, in the human world today, one can simply rely on high-speed aircraft to cross the barriers of seas and mountains and reach their destination.
It is also said: Are the vehicles you currently ride not far more advanced than those of previous eras? This is the grace bestowed by the technology of "creation, research, and invention," and it serves a widely accessible purpose, sparing you from the torment of wind and rain, frost, snow, and bitter cold.
Moreover, there is no need to fear the ultraviolet rays of the sun, as there is regulation and circulation of warm and cool air, along with captivating sound effects. The human world, elevated by today's technological civilization, has been made accessible to all sentient beings and spiritual disciples of the Buddha, providing everyone with a convenient and comfortable living space to experience.
All the sensations of existence in the human world
It is elevated through comfort, convenience, and widespread accessibility. If only one or two individuals possess it, everyone would feel envious; but if it becomes universally accessible, there would be no shortcomings. For one who has "realized the mind, seen the nature, attained enlightenment, and achieved fruition," would ordinary Buddhist disciples and sentient beings aspire to and seek it?
If everyone could attain "enlightening the mind and perceiving the true nature, awakening and realizing the fruit of enlightenment," what rarity would there be? It is precisely because rarity gives value that the human world strives for such exceptional conditions, seeking to overcome their own ignorance and obstacles. This means erasing the five supernatural powers they originally possessed, thereby losing any potential benefit.
However, if one were to say that everyone possesses the five supernatural powers, would it not feel rather ordinary, with nothing particularly worth boasting about? For sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, if the requirements of technological creation could be met to transform "understanding the mind and seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit" from a scientific perspective, you would then be able to attain it quite effortlessly.
As long as you proceed step by step and attain the realization of how to comprehend "enlightening your original mind and recognizing your inherent nature," then the "true suchness of Buddha-nature" will also manifest as it truly is. In that case, what shortcomings could you possibly have regarding the civilization and technology of the future? How should you create genuine benefits for yourself in the face of all ignorance?
How to Elevate the Existence of Humanity
It is quite effortless to enter a state where genuine realization is demanded! This is the fundamental function of being human, enabling all sentient beings and spiritual disciples to thoroughly understand their own shortcomings and discern how to improve, thereby aligning with the true nature of reality. Moreover, in the process of creating an overall technological civilization, different spatiotemporal conditions and causes converge to stimulate its development.
All cultures encompass many elements that are difficult to reconcile with the scientific theories of the contemporary era. Under the current dominance of technological civilization, it is essential for sentient beings and spiritual disciples to understand: in the process of present existence, can one truly realize the "Buddha-nature, true suchness" within the eighth consciousness? The fundamental concept is entirely absent!
To truly enter the state of "enlightening the mind and realizing one's true nature, attaining awakening and verifying its fruits" is, in fact, quite simple. Under such conditions, one can genuinely come to understand the "Buddha-nature, the true suchness," and fully comprehend all its implications. If one fails to grasp the essence of the "Buddha-nature, the true suchness," then any understanding of the entire process and experiential realization will only amount to a fleeting moment of insight.
Can sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples come to understand that addressing their own ignorance and obstacles, and determining how to improve and develop through research, are precisely the essential foundational actions for "creation"? It is indeed the case that sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples may not truly comprehend how, under such conditions, they can achieve the elimination of their own ignorance and obstacles.
Correcting mistakes to grow and change.
It is through the continuous accumulation of experiences, followed by refining them in subsequent accumulations, that true progress is made. If the next round of experience still proves insufficient, then the ongoing process of gathering, creating, researching, and refining in the cycles that follow embodies authenticity! Moreover, you are precisely in such conditions and environments, mutually uplifting and transcending one another.
It is essential to correct the current errors and fallacies. Can this process yield many realizations? Only by eliminating one's own ignorance and obstacles can such conditions be transformed. It is precisely because ignorance obstructs and hinders that sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples encounter difficulties in all problems, which can be truly changed and resolved!
When it comes to all adverse environments and their cyclical interactions, if everything were smooth and favorable, would sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha's disciples, desire change? They would not! It is precisely the presence of a critical obstacle or problem that enables you to acquire the conditions for transformation and evolution in the next phase. This, in turn, benefits the vast multitude of human beings, allowing them to ascend and grow.
This process, whether in research and invention or in the elimination of flawed products, inevitably follows this pattern. In human society, regardless of distinctions among people, matters, or objects, it is all driven by such actions. This gives rise to the issues of habits, inertia, inherent nature, and individuality wherever humans exist. Moreover, these issues inevitably create numerous obstacles, hindering all confidence to move forward.
The enhancement and transcendence of quality of life
If one is unable to understand, and yet remains confident in oneself, it will inevitably lead to significant shortcomings, hindering one's courageous progress, all while being unaware of how to improve and adjust! Consider this carefully, and you will see—is it not so? This is precisely the common ailment of humanity, arising from the flawed workings of human nature, which must be refined to achieve a higher and superior quality.
You do not distinguish, whether it concerns human existence or objects themselves, and in the human world there are many problematic issues of defective products. Consider again: in your own quality control over habits, routines, personality, and innate nature, how do you discern between good and bad qualities? Indeed, it is so!
Through the actions of others, one may see a reflection of oneself, clearly discerning their flaws as a warning. Yet, when it comes to one's own behavior, there is often a belief that no flaws exist, making change difficult. It is all too common for people to see faults in others while believing themselves to be faultless.
One is fundamentally unaware of where the flaws in one's own character lie. Similarly, among human beings, habits, tendencies, innate dispositions, and personalities are all like this. Even if one's character is of good quality, will one necessarily seek further improvement? Not necessarily! It is essential to reform all the flawed and undesirable aspects of one's human character—only then can one be considered genuine!
The human world is the realm for the transformation of life.
Otherwise, you would have long since become immortals, masters of the Dao, Buddhas, deities, or sages. Why then have you remained in the human world? It is because the flawed process of human nature cannot be altered, and its inherent imperfections cannot be reformed or rectified. Thus, you are forever confined to the Earthly Nether Star System.
Let the earthly realm continue to harbor an increasing number of flawed human qualities. For the boundless grace of Heaven, it is precisely by transforming and eliminating these flawed human traits—personality, habits, tendencies, and innate nature—that one can truly achieve "instant enlightenment and Buddhahood in this lifetime," ascending and progressing upward.
You possess the potential for genuine, superior qualities to elevate and return to your true nature. Do you desire this? If so, you must first enhance your human qualities, for only then can you undergo the process of truly refining these superior attributes. This is the elevation of RNA—not only to uplift the qualities for your descendants but also to transcend all aspects of your own RNA.
Otherwise, merely revolving within the confines of DNA will forever prevent true transcendence and return. It is hoped that today, within the First Academy of the Heavenly Realm, you can genuinely create, research, and transform your essence, becoming the foremost talents under heaven, thereby achieving immense growth and benefit! This is my earnest hope! My earnest hope!
Creating the Quality of Technology  Elevating Humanity's Innate Gifts
Firm in resolve, the gene aspires to ascend,  
Achieving transcendence through self-mastery.
Research is created for improvement,  
All sentient beings are children of Buddha.
Returning to the present moment, a great transcendence;  
Riding beyond completion, virtue is renewed.
This verse is shared to encourage all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children alike: it is about addressing a key issue—how to transcend the ignorance and obstacles in one's future. This can be achieved by elevating the qualities under one's own control, transforming oneself through the best possible means, thereby enabling transcendence and growth. Attain goodness, advance upward, and reap the rewards of return.
Today, I observe that the momentum and atmosphere of the Chongxin lineage are exceptionally harmonious and auspicious. Your Dharma assembly is about to commence. I extend my congratulations on the successful establishment of the "Chinese True Buddha Heart Religion Association" and the smooth completion of the Auspicious Dharma Assembly in the autumn of the Yiyou year. I also acknowledge the successful completion of the book submission for "The Great Path Lights the Lamp." Having disturbed Chongxin for a while, I bid everyone farewell! May all be auspicious and as you wish!
## Great Emperor of the Eastern Extremity, Azure Radiance
The karmic bonds of emptiness have long ripened;  
Spirits gather in this appointed time to meet.
The Immortal Maiden brings forth the sacred decree today;  
May the nine-year Dharma assembly be blessed by all.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, one of the Eight Immortals—Immortal He Xiangu—has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," which focuses on expanding and promoting the achievements of creation. You should reflect on whether you, in your own being, have managed to control all your peculiar temperaments and eccentric dispositions in relation to the quality of human nature.
Moreover, confront and dissolve all obstacles! Otherwise, if you cannot achieve and transcend within this very lifetime, how can you elevate and fulfill the "Buddha-nature Suchness" within you? It cannot be accomplished by relying solely on the "demonic-nature Suchness," as that will inevitably make it difficult to attain genuine self-elevation and transcendence.
This is not merely an obstacle to the human world; it will also pose a significant hindrance and obstruction to all ongoing evolution within humanity. I earnestly hope you will understand what your shortcomings are and how they should be reformed. I look forward to it! I look forward to it!
## The Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Void and Spiritual Orifice
Few tread the polar lands of the South,  
Yet all who seek long life find kinship there.
The Great Emperor bestows grace upon the mortal realm,  
Amending flaws to cultivate renewed virtue.
Improving shortcomings is a step towards excellence.
Through the process of research, invention, and creation, humanity can come to understand why it is necessary to undergo the technological civilization of the human world for elevation. This is part of a predetermined policy by the Heavens, which also serves as a demonstration for the future of the vast celestial realms. It enables the Earth's star system, in the third cosmic cycle, to achieve complete elevation and transcendence.
This kind of causal condition, rooted in the research and development of the human world, inevitably encounters numerous bottlenecks and difficulties throughout all processes of research and creation. However, these can be resolved with great fidelity. This approach has been consistently applied throughout the development of all planets, thereby fostering beneficial growth in living spaces.
Regarding the many undeveloped cosmic star systems, there must be genuine exemplary actions for enhancement and manifestation in order to achieve rapid, even exponential growth in future technological civilization. After research and invention, numerous bottlenecks and difficulties are bound to arise. Such conditions and circumstances necessitate these essential actions.
Without undergoing such a process of selection, how can one truly achieve continuous refinement, moving from perfection to even greater perfection? Consider today's technology: it is merely at its nascent stage. For all civilizational endeavors, it will take thousands of years before they can serve as a demonstration to other star systems.
Improvement and enhancement lead to favorable outcomes.
To keep pace with scientific and technological civilization, or to achieve what it constructs; and how, based on this civilization and through human thought, can we innovate, improve, and perfect it? This necessarily requires the collaboration of numerous high-tech talents, dedicated to research and development efforts, making it easily achievable!
One can understand that all inventions and creations must undergo continuous refinement and improvement. It is precisely through research and invention that we further strengthen various forms of study and innovation, making them richer, more comfortable, convenient, and accessible. The present era is one where all technologies advance side by side—it is not merely the work of a few individuals driving progress!
During such times, achieving comfort and convenience for others and the general public, and even benefiting oneself as well as the vast multitude of sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, is what constitutes true authenticity! Sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children should understand that in the improvement of technological civilization, it is necessary to undergo the crystallization of efforts from numerous technological talents in order to achieve progress.
Only then can the enhancement of future technological civilization be achieved. This stems primarily from the fundamental causes of technological growth, realized through research and invention—truly substantial and authentic, manifesting within the human world as genuine reality! Otherwise, how could technological civilization be truly manifested, benefiting only future generations? Surely not!
Change and growth lead to significant improvement.
To improve conditions, one must take renewal actions to address deficiencies and negative effects. In the human world, this is especially true for survival-oriented tendencies: habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature. If these cannot be improved in a short time, can sentient beings, the original spirit Buddha-children, achieve "instant enlightenment and Buddhahood in one lifetime"? Certainly not!
When actions align with true nature, they transform undesirable innate temperaments and personal traits, much like a world of artifacts. If all entities were merely shaped by initial molds, they would only be rough drafts. Could such crude artifacts be brought to the table for practical use? Hardly! They remain mere rough drafts, requiring further refinement and detailing.
Just as in the human world, without the tempering of carving and polishing, how can one achieve the genuine act of removing one's own: habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature? This act of removal must correct shortcomings, enabling it to align with the interests of oneself and all beings in the pursuit of a humane existence.
In the human world, the entire process of "research, invention, and creation" involves refining raw materials through these endeavors, then tempering and transforming them through the principle that "true gold fears no fire." This is certain to cultivate true beneficiaries and also produce individuals perfected through the complete process of forging.
True gold must undergo the tempering of all necessities.
Human beings inevitably possess many shortcomings and inadequacies. If viewed through the nature, personality, habits, and inertia of the human world, they appear rather crude and unrefined. Thus, transformation is necessary under the conditions of perfect mastery, as expressed in the saying, "True gold fears no fire." In this world, it is essential to endure the trials of "earth, water, fire, and wind"!
If one cannot endure the tempering of the four great elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—then transformation cannot be achieved. This transformation serves as the foundation for undertaking the duties of Heaven and bearing great responsibilities in the future. Moreover, such conditions necessarily require tempering by the four great elements, and it is through these elements that one benefits, yielding virtuous functions that contribute to the upward growth of human existence.
The world of the Great Dao is precisely this kind of cause and condition. Whether one can clearly perceive one's own shortcomings, or believes oneself to be entirely without fault, distinguishes the function of these two states of being. For those who truly seek to transcend and elevate themselves, there is always a recognition of their own inadequacy, and the opportunity for necessary improvement remains vast.
There is a truly humble and earnest function in how one can find room for improvement within the human world. For those who believe they have no flaws whatsoever, such a condition is as different as heaven and earth. To have the opportunity to be born as a human in this present life is a blessing from past lives, and this fortune may still remain. But whether it will continue in the future—that remains unknown.
Humanity must undergo necessary cultivation and transformation.
It is precisely because we cannot truly identify the difficulties and obstacles for improvement that we must ask: how can we genuinely eliminate our own shortcomings? We must first understand all our own inadequacies, flaws, and mistakes in order to make improvements. Only by addressing problems truthfully can we foster upward growth and progress, thereby reaping good benefits and rewards. This is the essential necessity for human advancement!
This is a problem common to all human beings. From the perspective of the human world, when humans descend into the mundane realm, they bear the burden of filth and sin, being born into the Earth's star system. As the Buddhist scriptures say: "For the beings of Jambudvīpa, every thought and intention is a cause, every thought and intention is an effect, every thought and intention is karma, and every thought and intention is an obstacle!"
This is formed by the karma of cause and effect, making it impossible to truly elevate oneself, and difficult to improve or rectify shortcomings. The human world is unable to truly understand its essence; instead, it tends to regard the human realm as a rather desirable world. Little do they know that the human world still harbors many waves of suffering that they have yet to encounter—waves that are immensely painful and difficult to endure!
Moreover, how can we truly alleviate the suffering you are currently enduring? This is precisely what causes the human world to be unable to pursue its desired paths of existence in all aspects—truly, the inability to attain what one seeks is itself a form of suffering! Such hardships would not even exist in other star systems!
The Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven bestows virtue and grace upon the human world.
Thus, one can understand why the transformation of the Earthly Obscure Star (the Earth's planetary system) is necessary. All reasons for this lie herein. It is precisely due to the great compassion and benevolent grace of the August Heaven Jade Emperor and the Sacred Emperor Guan that we have witnessed nearly a century of technological civilization. Yet, such manifestations have rarely been revealed in the sacred halls of Confucianism, nor have they been frequently hinted at by religions in the present era.
This is truly a great virtue and grace for all future human beings on how to propagate and benefit the world! Through the collective efforts of all teachings, this virtue and grace will elevate the comfort, convenience, and accessibility of human existence, thereby benefiting all sentient beings. It will enhance the conditions for nurturing life and transcend the future advancements of technological civilization.
To improve upon shortcomings is precisely to fear no difficulties or setbacks. Moreover, because there are actions taken to address these shortcomings, the advancements of technology and civilization can truly serve an evolutionary purpose. You may ponder carefully: why is it that, in the present day, the mindset and framework of those who adhere to religious beliefs fundamentally fail to keep pace with all other groups of people in the world? What is the reason for this?
It is precisely because technological civilization has long been employed to enlighten the entire Earth's star system that we can now speak of the emergence of an "Earth Village Nation" within the interstellar community. Why, then, do religious circles fundamentally fail to truly comprehend that the great virtues and benefits of human survival—through research, invention, and creation—are readily accessible within the human world for all to benefit from.
Technological civilization is not controlled by religion.
If a religion were to be given dominance or control, it would likely be difficult for other religions to sincerely accept it. When no one yields to another, each would strive to be higher and greater than the rest, making it challenging to achieve overall integration. The great virtue and grace of Heaven lies precisely in elevating technological civilization to a higher level.
Moreover, it is manifested within the realm of humanity, not rooted in any single religion, and thus transcends the limitations imposed by religious boundaries. This further exemplifies the boundless compassion and grace of the Divine, which does not discriminate among the teachings of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam, allowing all sentient beings and original spirits to equally receive its blessings.
This is about how to transform the deficiency into a beneficial force, bringing true benefits to oneself and to all sentient beings. It involves "borrowing" over two million high-tech talents to descend into the mundane world, though not necessarily into all religions. It is essential to clearly understand the operations of all religions and to avoid any entanglement with technology.
This approach easily allows one to enter a state of "non-action, selflessness, and egolessness" to achieve fulfillment through dedication. This applies to the Chongxin Sect lineage as well, and it will be the same for future inventions and creations. In this way, religion and technology will not become entangled with each other, but can instead complement and support one another, truly benefiting future generations. Can you understand this?
The purpose of research and creation is to inspire action through its application.
Technology and civilization build the celestial foundation,  
Benefiting all beings and benefiting oneself.
Self-improvement is a matter of self-discipline,  
As habits, tendencies, and nature gradually transform.
Personality refinement is like refining a tool;  
Improvement and creation bring great benefit and profit.
This verse! Fellow sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples, let us study and contemplate together: through the true transformation of technological civilization into action, it is akin to fearing that one's nature, habits, inertia, and disposition cannot be reformed and refined. How then can one achieve greatness? Understand and cherish this yourself! Well, I have disturbed Chongxin for a while. Observing this atmosphere, it is quite elegant and warm, truly touching. Farewell, everyone!
## Supreme Emperor of the Great Ultimate
Void and causality are inherently distinct; the divine will descends to exalt the merit of the heart.
The Immortal Maiden meets the virtuous student today,  
Together they speak of daily life, hearts sincere and devoted.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the South Pole Immortal Elder—the Great Emperor of Longevity—has descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao." This will serve to rectify shortcomings and deficiencies, guiding us to confront ourselves with utmost sincerity: our habits, tendencies, inherent nature, and individuality. Through this, we may achieve the transformative effect of cultivating greatness.
If this cannot be achieved, how can the true elevation of human nature be realized? Just as: true gold fears no fire, a drum makes no sound unless struck, jade cannot become a vessel without carving, and a person cannot understand righteousness without learning—if you remain unaware of your own shortcomings, how can you attain "instant enlightenment in this life and Buddhahood in one lifetime"? Reflect carefully, and you will understand!
##Celestial Venerable of the Void and Imperial Transmission
The Northern Dipper descends, gathering the devoted in heart;  
The Purple Tenuity's virtuous intent draws all stars to return.
The Great Emperor authored the Book of Light,  
Striving for excellence is the work of humanity.
Human qualities must be elevated.
Human factors are refined through processes of transformation; by means of human action in the world, limitations arising from shortcomings and deficiencies can be overcome. This involves elevating the conditions of human character to address future affairs. The human world, with all its imperfections and lacks, exists as a genuine space within the reality of the phenomenal world, guiding the orientation of existence.
How to elevate existence yields greater virtue and grace. Through humanity, it is possible to rectify past shortcomings and inadequacies, thereby enabling genuine research and innovation for the future. This human-driven approach can elevate the quality of human character and material production to meet the demands of higher and more refined standards.
It is precisely the quality that, through what the human world refers to as DNA, achieves an upward enhancement effect, which is the primary causal basis of RNA. Moreover, it is through the refinement of the fundamental causal essence of DNA that the function of improving the eugenic quality of species can be achieved. This condition represents the optimal means of enhancement for humanity today.
However, there remains a considerable distance from achieving the "QNA self-luminous" energy body. Since QNA's intrinsic energy inherently possesses a luminous function, the human world often lacks the conditions necessary to attain this state. Consequently, it is destined to remain perpetually within the DNA Earth star system, undergoing cycles of repeated reincarnation.
The Functional Conditions of Human Genes
If, based on anthropology, it is impossible to break through the self-luminescence of QNA, then achieving an improvement in quality through RNA is already considered quite good. This kind of causality, regarding the quality of human DNA, originates from the entirety of the cosmic interstellar realm. Moreover, at present, humanity is still in the process of researching and discovering the qualitative aspects of DNA.
If we consider technological civilization, why must it undergo such functional processes? Not only does it bestow upon you in the present moment a profound and substantial accumulation of blessings, but it also provides firsthand clarity. Through the evolutionary process of interpreting the virtues and graces of heaven and earth, one can truly comprehend the vast and boundless expanse of the entire cosmic galaxy—precisely what all humanity ought to understand.
Moreover, in the current era, technological civilization is still in its infancy, with everything remaining in a phase of exploration. In the future, it will gradually be realized through technological civilization. Precisely by meeting all quality requirements and allowing greater room for growth, this approach can clarify the conditions for refinement, thereby not only enhancing the overall quality but also advancing the discourse on eugenics.
Under such conditions, to elevate the primary causal body of refinement, there exists a mutual fulfillment with the spatial realm of Earth (the planet of Earthly Obscurity). In terms of advancing the concept of human eugenics, how can we genuinely achieve future technological creation, research, and invention? And why should technological civilization be applied within the vast expanse of heaven and earth?
The Teaching Functions and Roles of Religion
Rather than being confined solely to religion? There is a genuine truth: with fairness and justice to elevate, numerous technological civilizations will emerge, not merely through religious research and invention. Instead, by leveraging the "borrowing of talents" approach, one can set their mind at ease to engage in the process of research and creation, reaching a state free from any boundaries of obstruction.
Because within religion, many theological doctrines are often imposed, and one cannot set aside these concerns to engage in creative research for advancement. This is precisely the great justice and fairness of Heaven, manifested as conditions for the Dao, where mutual fulfillment is achieved. Moreover, this future technology can complement and synergize with religion.
It will never be limited to research and innovation within religion alone; it is precisely the impartial and equitable function of non-action. Within the pursuit of excellence, it guides and educates for future technology, and it is precisely because of education that all achievements of the century-long plan are realized. If education can bring benefits, these gains are beyond comparison with mere effort.
The efficacy of this educational and transformative endeavor is precisely the functional purpose of Heaven's consistent policy. Without a broader vision and open-mindedness, one cannot achieve success in undertaking educational and cultural programs. Moreover, regarding Heaven's educational and cultural mission, it can be said thus far: In your human world, it has been only a little over six thousand years by calculation.
The virtue and grace of heaven and earth come to benefit all living beings.
If the Heavenly Realm has already exerted its influence on the Earth's star system for over four billion light-years, how then can your current educational and cultural curricula be compared to the Heavenly Realm's light-years? Why does the Heavenly Realm seek to select and act upon the karmic connections of the leaders of Chongxin? It is precisely because this selection follows the true and righteous path!
It must also have once been directed towards the whole: the process of existence within the vast universe, the pure land of the true treasure, has long been perceived with a clarity of vision and a breadth of mind that cannot be compared to that of ordinary leaders. Now, you should continue to strive for excellence, enhancing the future advancement of technological civilization, which in turn will complement and mutually reinforce this progress.
If one cannot comprehend the essence of the pursuit of excellence, how can one ever achieve transcendence in creating the technological civilization of the future! To forge the well-being of tomorrow is to become a pioneer in exploring the cosmic galaxy. Would you not feel fortunate to have such a divine opportunity and profound affinity, or would you merely drift through life in mediocrity, letting it pass by in vagueness?
In all these matters, discernment lies within your own grasp and control! Regarding the future of technological civilization and the functions of all celestial bodies within the cosmic galaxies, these are elucidated in the "Heavenly Sound Transmission." Do you still believe that at present, you are merely entering the sacred hall of Confucianism for the sake of spiritual edification? Such was the case in the past, but it is no longer so now.
The Sacred Hall of Confucianism: A Special and Auspicious Connection
However, it is little known that although the Chongxin Sect lineage manifests through the Confucian sacred halls across the vast universe, it is in truth the work of the Heavenly Realm in implementing the new dharma, expounding the mysteries of the entire cosmic galaxy through the writings of "The Transmission of Heavenly Truths." This achievement is not something ordinary Confucian sacred halls can attain, but rather the true established policy of the Heavenly Realm itself!
Technological civilization requires an even greater emphasis on promoting the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics... If we merely rely on outdated methods from the past, it is likely that today's young intellectuals will dismiss them entirely. This is why, in the current era, the heavens have chosen to reveal the mysteries of the celestial realms to the human world.
Such a rare opportunity can only be found within the "True Buddha Heart School." To seek this divine revelation outside of the "True Buddha Heart School" is fundamentally impossible! Moreover, without the Patriarch of the Principle Pen having previously resided in the Void Celestial Realm and experienced all processes of existence, how could there be the construction of a brand-new way of thinking?
Therefore, all the thoughts you currently possess represent a conceptual framework that transcends technological civilization. This is the new law ordained by Heaven, bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage through great predestined affinity to facilitate elevation. Regardless of how many abundant resources are disseminated downward, they can be likened to all things between heaven and earth, guiding sentient beings with virtuous affinities to return and transcend.
Returning to the Conditions of Higher-Level Causality
Furthermore, it will involve: four hundred million Buddhist disciples and over two million high-tech talents, undertaking the sacred task of return. This also clarifies to you that, across the entire cosmic galaxy, all technological civilizations have such conditions only in the present moment. By fostering the growth and elevation of current human thought, profound benefits can be attained.
Without a theory of preconceived notions, how could there be preconceived notions to implement? Such a framework of thought would be fundamentally impossible. You should be grateful to have the opportunity to learn and grow in the fifth phase of the Chongxin lineage, absorbing and fulfilling the firsthand knowledge bestowed by Heaven. It is precisely this firsthand knowledge that is promulgated throughout the human world.
Although it can be publicly promulgated and implemented to benefit the world, can it be carried out with firsthand information? Precisely because the immortals and buddhas have descended, the gentle energy field of the entire Chongxin lineage has gathered this magnetic influence. This is what truly allows you to obtain the energy of your own being, and even more, to benefit from it within the human realm.
If the Celestial Books are further promulgated to benefit the world, there will no longer be a firsthand source of energy to infuse into your own energy bodies, enabling the future luminous function of QNA. Do not assume that the series of Celestial Books authored by the Chongxin lineage are identical to those from the outside world—such a notion reflects a rather shallow perspective on your part.
High-level Energy Bodies
With the energy of firsthand information, it can further enable you to benefit and achieve the functional efficacy of removing all undesirable inherent traits of human nature. Such conditions of affinity are certainly not comprehensible to those who have not participated in the writing of the book. It is essential to understand that for you to truly refine and perfect yourselves, it requires personal, firsthand experience.
What is the nature of the energy entity descended from immortals and buddhas? How does it arrive through their descent, and how does it disseminate the gentle energy it carries? If one could personally absorb this once-in-a-millennium QNA energy entity, the benefits and gains would surpass what could be attained over countless lifetimes. Can everyone comprehend this? Perhaps not entirely!
If one can truly grasp the essence within, they are sure to smile knowingly, cherishing even more the rare and profound gains that span the ages. How, then, can one perceive this highly advanced energy? It is cultivated through collective learning and growth, and must be attained through each individual's diligent efforts and choices, enabling upward progress, elevation, and transcendence.
Refine shortcomings to achieve completeness; strive for excellence with even greater diligence.
The return of present energy to its true nature  
One attains self-cultivation and self-accomplishment.
The World's Premier Daoist Texts Series: A Collection Bestowed to Enrich the Ages
The pen of reason writes to elucidate the celestial mysteries,  
Thus the secrets of the universe are herein revealed.
This verse! It is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement! Moreover, it emphasizes the pursuit of continuous refinement—why must such heavenly opportunities and virtuous affinities be cultivated for growth? Only then can one embody the true nature of reality! It is hoped! It is hoped! That through everyone’s diligent efforts, the true essence will be revealed; thank you all for your hard work, and for troubling Chongxin for a while. Now, let us return to the heavens and meet again!
## South Sea Ancient Buddha
The karmic conditions of emptiness have long ripened,  
The spiritual communion gathers to aid the cultivation of virtuous beings.
The Immortal Maiden takes her turn on duty today,  
Together they complete the enduring celestial scriptures.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Emperor of the North Star, Ziwei, has descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of *The Radiance of the Great Dao*, bestowing the essence of continuous refinement. This is a joyous and commendable endeavor for the future educational and transformative mission of our lineage.
The true purpose of the Great Dao's propagation is to guide and elevate the 402 million cultivators. Observing your recent efforts in the Dharma assemblies, all virtuous students have toiled diligently, sacrificed, and devoted themselves—this is truly commendable and worthy of celebration! Those who genuinely contribute shall receive the recognition and rewards of Heaven. Those who cannot attain this are merely nominal participants, attending as students in name only.
You know well how much you have done, and you are fully aware of it yourselves, so there is no need to say too much. From the fifth stage onward, you must understand that the methods guided by the immortals and buddhas have undergone significant changes. You should therefore apply yourselves more diligently, and no longer be as in the past, merely attending gatherings at the hall. Why is there such a broad space? It is to allow you to sacrifice and dedicate yourselves, to contribute a little more effort!
## Celestial Venerable of the Void's Inscription
The myriad stars of the Eastern Pole’s Celestial Pivot,  
With verdant grace, bestow blessings upon all living beings.
The Great Emperor descends to bestow the Book of Light,  
Elevating civilization to transcendence and fulfillment.
The more advanced the technology, the greater the benefits for humanity.
The genetic quality of humanity is continuously refined and perfected: it can be observed in all its functions, not only in the enhancement and transcendence of future technological civilization, but also in addressing all deficiencies within the human world. Within technological civilization, it can even transcend the integration of "mind, spirit, and body," achieving growth and surpassing limitations.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, in the present existence within the human realm, not only encounter numerous dangers and obstacles, but also face an abundance of adversities and setbacks. This indeed serves as a true form of reverse cultivation; otherwise, how could the multitude of original spirit Buddhas in the vast world achieve ascension and transcendence?
Moreover, by taking the fundamental principles of the Great Dao as the foundation, there arises a function and efficacy of elevation. All human races within the sentient world, in the course of their journey through the human realm, often find themselves unable to act in accordance with the original foundational functions and utilities. Inevitably, they diverge from the original foundation, resulting in many differences or even deviations from its fundamental roles and functional benefits.
Sentient beings have great potential for growth.
Not only is it impossible to achieve transcendence and elevation, but it also significantly diminishes the value of technological civilization. Compared to past survival habits, today's civilization offers more direct benefits and functional improvements. One may ponder: in the past fifty years, has the survival habit of all technological civilizations across the world remained the same as that of the agricultural societies of old?
To date, within the past two decades or so, technological civilization has advanced to the point where it can be said to you: it has surpassed the past, making it quite difficult to maintain a high standard of living. The true path to personal growth lies in acquiring a second or even third area of expertise, which serves as a means of learning and development—regardless of age, one can engage in learning and growth.
In the evolution of civilization, there exists a genuine opportunity for enhancement that cannot be significantly compromised. This is the driving force behind the rapid advancement of technological civilization, propelling the great wheel of progress forward. It is through the elevation of civilization itself, with the well-being of all humanity as its foundation, that growth and improvement are truly manifested.
Within this, the heavenly secrets are revealed, yet they are seldom truly disseminated to the human world for understanding. Even what can be clarified for sentient beings through religion cannot be fully conveyed or manifested through individual religious doctrines, nor can it be elucidated through "spiritual connections." This is the divine will of Heaven, which over a century ago, sought to reform all corrupt human nature anew.
Human beings are refined through the rectification of their flaws.
This pertains to the human race and all living beings in the vast world, originally intended to undergo a "chaotic renewal" for evolution. However, if such a course were taken, the damage would likely be even greater, resulting in a catastrophe akin to "destroying both the jade and the stone"—a scenario where both perish without any genuine elevation. Therefore, after multiple deliberations within the "Haotian" council, a consensus was reached.
It is to genuinely elevate the Earth Star (the Earth planetary system)! Through the compassionate grace of the Two Jade Emperors of the Heavenly Court, along with the sages, immortals, and buddhas of all heavens, as well as the Great Chairman of the Chongxin Lineage, the Sage Emperor of Literary Balance, the Ruler of the Southern Heaven, we respectfully seek out the original spirit buddha-children of all beings from other planets who were once among the higher human races in the Earth Star (the Earth planetary system).
Those primordial spirit Buddhas who have previously resided in the First or Second Kalpa, among others, and have been stationed there, have utilized the "karmic connections of borrowing generals" to elevate Earth's technological civilization. This advancement is then transmitted to the Earthly Star to transcend its current state. As a result, the technological civilization of this era has grown at an astonishing pace, advancing by leaps and bounds—indeed, this is how it came to be.
It is precisely by using the Morning Star as a model, for the future (Earth's Underworld) Earth star system, to serve as the primary cause and condition for growth. With the current advancement of technological civilization, why is it necessary to send down so many high-tech talents? For the future development of four hundred million star systems, to serve as a model for elevation, can human beings comprehend this? It is exceedingly difficult!
The Growth of Future Technological Civilization
In the human world, all living beings, though endowed with the role of learning through negative growth, may ask you: How can we advance the civilization of future technology? This means elevating not only all cosmic galaxies but also every star system—whether currently existing, newly developed, about to be developed, or yet to be developed—without distinction.
All achievements of energy bodies are accomplished through the virtuous grace of Haotian within the great cosmos. If such technological civilization is not revealed through the sacred hall of Confucianism as heavenly secrets, what other heavenly secrets could be conveyed to the human world? None! It is essential to understand: since this concerns the compassionate and great virtuous grace of the Supreme Heaven, how should one receive its benefits?
Moreover, it allows all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas throughout the vast universe to have the opportunity to guide and ferry the ninety-two original spirit children back to transcendence! At this very moment, you are fortunate to encounter such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity. This can be compared across all dynasties, without distinction between the Qing, Ming, Yuan, Song... eras, and even more so, it enables witnessing the elevation brought by technological civilization.
Regarding the transcendence of technology over all major causes of civilization, it is essential to understand how to achieve such elevation. As for the blessings and opportunities you possess today: they are truly unparalleled in the world! To have obtained such a rare and profound opportunity, along with firsthand clarity of information, can you cherish and rejoice in it? You must grasp it with your own hands!
Thus, goodness is nurtured and grows through benefit.
Furthermore, the elevation brought by the Great Dao can enable the future education of humanity, truly achieving transcendence through "transforming other lands and transferring transformations elsewhere." This allows technological civilization to genuinely benefit from such elevation. You must understand: why is such functional efficacy necessary? If one cannot achieve transcendence in the present or the future, then what alternative remains?
Whether one can truly evolve within the cosmic galaxies or remain trapped in cycles of reincarnation on Earth and the underworld is entirely a matter of personal choice and discernment. This is not due to any lack of compassion from the immortals and buddhas, nor from the "True Buddha Heart School," nor from your fellow practitioners. It is precisely the outcome of your own selection, which can be realized through the process of learning.
It is precisely through the self-sufficient return that distinctions are made by the cosmic, void, Wuji, and the energy body of the Heavenly Principle. This is not something you can currently discern, nor is it merely a long-term accumulation of energy. Do not assume that joining the Chongxin Sect or any other religious lineage will necessarily lead to true return and transcendence—it is not guaranteed!
The distinctions arise from the completeness of one's own energy body, as well as from the correctness or incorrectness of one's own choices. The discernment and decisions one makes in this process are also closely tied to whether diligent effort is applied. Moreover, it is precisely because of the transcendence of technological civilization that you are truly able to break free from the cycle of the six realms of rebirth.
The heavens are merciful, bestowing virtue and grace upon all sentient beings.
Furthermore, regarding the borrowing of talents for their roles, it is only when they descend to transform the mundane world that it aligns with true nature; only then can one avoid filling a position without the requisite skills. This is the original intent of Heaven, and moreover, it is a requirement revealed by a celestial secret, allowing for genuine elevation and transcendence to be distinguished. This applies to the borrowing of talents among the four hundred million and over two million high-tech professionals.
It is possible to apply the technological civilizations of various galactic systems, and by studying, inventing, and creating through the genuine forms and functions of the human world, to elevate technological civilization. This fulfills all demands of the great cosmos. You, who are participants in this cosmic cycle, also serve as exemplars in the process of revealing the heavenly mysteries of the Great Dao, thereby reaping the benefits of its functional efficacy.
This, in truth, is the genuine revelation of heavenly mysteries within the human world. Therefore, if we speak in terms of religion, truly those who cultivate themselves and meet the standard amount to less than one percent. However, since the Heavens have called upon you to enter religious cultivation, the true path lies precisely in transforming the "true suchness of the Buddha-nature within the eighth consciousness" to manifest its brilliance.
Religious faith and practice must be grounded in virtue.
If the virtues of the human world are to be fully manifested, how long must we wait before we can return to the realms of the universe, the void, the ultimate, and the heavenly principle? It is precisely by truly understanding the "function of the Abhidharma" to elevate ourselves that we can achieve Buddhahood in a single lifetime and return. This requires diligent and earnest effort to dissolve our own ignorance and obstacles.
Only those who have genuinely cultivated "illuminating the mind, seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of practice" can obtain the functional benefits of the reverse operation by Shang Cang (the Supreme Heaven) and the celestial immortals and Buddhas. Otherwise, no matter how great one's merits and achievements may be, if they cannot align with the collective functional actions or purify one's eighth consciousness, such merits and achievements will merely be entrusted to Shang Cang for safekeeping.
You must persist in waiting, through each lifetime of trials and tribulations, to dissolve your own ignorance, habits, tendencies, personality, and innate nature. Only after you have diligently applied yourselves in cultivation will you be able to enjoy the accumulated merits and effects of the Third Kalpa. How do you feel about this? Can you achieve realization in a single lifetime? There must be genuine efficacy and benefit!
Striving for perfection in self-refinement,  
Habit, inertia, and innate nature are elevated.
Without change and elimination, efficacy is hard to achieve;  
In one lifetime, becoming a Buddha is a leap one makes oneself.
Technology and civilization forge the future; compassionate education spreads blessings far and wide.
The world illuminated by the Great Dao,  
Bears the Pure Land of the Void's true treasures.
You must study this carefully! The true function of transformation and elimination lies precisely within your human nature: habits, tendencies, disposition, and personality must undergo genuine change. Do not offer endless excuses, nor assume that holding a high position in religion grants you special understanding. You must realize: this applies equally to all religions and all peoples, without exception!
Only then can one "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime." Thus, it should now be clear to you all: if you fail to cherish the divine opportunities and favorable conditions bestowed upon you by Heaven, whom else can you blame? Truly, what a pity, and what a sorrow! I have troubled you all, disturbing Chongxin for some time. Now I shall return to the heavenly realm. May you all be auspicious. Farewell!
##Nanping Daoci Ancient Buddha
The void is a precious, pure land;  
The spiritual portal ascends the platform to meet kindred souls.
The Immortal Maiden gathered with various celestial beings and Buddhas,  
The Great Path shone brightly, with virtue and salvation shared by all.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of Eastern Extremity and Azure Radiance has descended to compose the twentieth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," elevating and transcending civilization and technology with genuine elucidation. This not only benefits all of you in future propagation efforts but also enhances and elevates your present actions.
Only then can one truly change their perspective: habits, inertia, inherent nature, and individuality are indeed shaped by numerous causes and conditions. Moreover, the sacrifices and dedication you have made within the Chongxin lineage—if they cannot be channeled into education and propagation, with the immortals and buddhas speaking their truths while you go about your ways—what can be achieved? If we cannot mutually illuminate and elevate through education and propagation, what else is there to be done?
From an outsider's perspective, you have always spoken of education and propagation, yet have been unable to implement it in genuine practice and faith. Do you wish to remain in such a state? No answer! That is to say, change is difficult. Thus, the Immortals and Buddhas, from the perspective of your parents, carry out education and propagation, while also caring for and protecting you with the attitude of teachers.
The fifth period has arrived! There should no longer be any disputes, conflicts, or judgments of right and wrong. It is time for everyone to come together, without distinction between celestial beings or disciples, to jointly fulfill the promise of this third cosmic cycle. This means enabling over 402 million sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha to smoothly return and transcend.
Since such a grand and sacred mission has now been entrusted to Chongxin, you must devote all your efforts to fulfill it. Only by achieving your own cultivation and benefiting all sentient beings can you walk the true path! I wonder if you can accomplish this? (Answer: Yes!) Since you have faith, it signifies that the fifth phase of the mission to propagate the teachings will surely be carried out in earnest.
In the future, a multitude of kindred spirits and virtuous connections will return to join the ranks of the Chongxin lineage. How you guide and receive them is a matter of utmost sincerity; it is essential to understand that only by embracing "faith, zeal, patience, and compassion" to support and fulfill them can this be considered the true path.
## Celestial Venerable of the Golden Brush of Emptiness, Opener of Wisdom
The Supreme Ultimate divides to distinguish the beneficial yin and yang;  
The Celestial Emperor descends, illuminating the path with radiant light.
The Emperor's virtue nourishes the myriad stars,  
Humanity's future technology shines brightly.
The Future Technology of Humanity
Human survival is rooted in the transcendence of civilization, which further elevates the Earth and its galaxy. Through technological civilization, previously unattainable scientific phenomena are now manifested. This is achieved by perfecting the vast world, and in the 21st century, it is precisely this process of civilizational advancement that is being realized.
Granting sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha, through the nurturing influence of this century, the opportunity to genuinely elevate and transcend civilization and technology. This is achieved through mutual fulfillment within the human world, within a process and environment of an unknown realm. It is precisely by drawing from the present moment that we can apply it to the future.
Thus, it can be truly and clearly manifested in existence. Since it does not depart from the orientation of survival, how should one approach the vast world from the perspective of the future? And how can one come to know everything about the future? Precisely because the future, as it exists in the present moment, has not yet taken form, it can be discerned through all the embryonic forms present in the here and now—whether they are sufficient to truly elevate and advance in the times to come!
What is the nature of such future temporal and causal connections? In the present moment, it remains impossible to foresee them. Can we clearly discern the embryonic form of the present? What kind of civilizational forces will shape the future? Through human endeavors—research, invention, and creation—actions that benefit the survival and direction of the human world can be realized with great authenticity.
The present moment has already undergone a great transformation.
It is precisely because the future is the embryonic form of the present that it can one day be realized. If we consider the great flow of the three temporal realms—past, present, and future—as a process of unknowns, we may call it empty, but not false. Through the function of emptiness, we arrive at the discernment of "the provisional within emptiness."
Regarding the great cosmos, it can be said: if one judges without knowing all, and if such conditions lack the embryonic form of the future, how can the actual course of the future be manifested? In the orientation toward survival within the world of the Great Dao, it will be revealed through the world of true reality, with all participants in the evolution of the human world contributing to its complete realization.
Thus, one can understand how to genuinely elevate oneself in the future. The process by which future civilization reveals the currently unknown present is precisely determined through research and creation. How can the functions of creative research be distinguished to form differential effects? This can be based on the actions of human existence in the world.
Furthermore, there is the genuine virtue of creating blessings for oneself and future generations, akin to the saying, "One generation plants the trees under whose shade another generation rests," or "the pioneers break new ground, and their descendants enjoy the shade." Through the advancements brought by technological civilization, we can truly elevate and transcend all processes, times, spaces, and conditions within the sentient world.
The past few decades have seen tremendous changes.
You may ponder carefully: the advancement of technological civilization over the past decade or so has been built upon a foundation laid over more than a century. It is precisely under such conditions that we must ask: what of future technology? It will depend on the foundational work laid today, which will serve as the basis for future achievements—all for the benefit of humanity.
In terms of its boundless reach, human beings can use their own minds to engage in "research, invention, and creation" for growth and elevation. This operates within the function of humanity's "eighth consciousness," whereby the accumulated causes from the past are applied truthfully to the present living environment, thereby benefiting and elevating the growth of the human world.
The human mind, why is it capable of accommodating billions of thoughts and even clearly perceiving the direction of all processes of existence? This is partly due to the resonance of "hearts connecting through a single spark of insight," or the manifestation of "reconstructed thoughts" within the consciousness. Without the reconstruction of past experiences, can growth truly occur?
Furthermore, in your research and exploration, you will encounter many obstacles of ignorance. This is particularly directed towards a sentient being, an original spiritual Buddha-child, who has previously engaged in "mental contemplation and thought." Such a being may even utilize the scientific and technological advancements of the cosmic celestial realms from the past, applying them to the function of reproducing the memory storage of the "eighth consciousness," thereby achieving upward growth.
Human beings face immense existential perplexities.
Although it is said that the human world is veiled by the mystery of entering the womb, which seemingly erases all past and previous experiences, these memories themselves cannot truly vanish. Many fragmented and hazy recollections inevitably remain. In the human world, it is through the existence of these memories that all processes are pieced together in a continuous sequence of actions.
This is yet another opportunity for all original spirit Buddhas among the vast multitudes of humanity across the great cosmos. After enduring countless kalpas, they can once again continue the rebirth of a memory unit, without distinction as to which star system or galaxy they were "borrowed" from to descend into the mortal world among human races. This provides greater growth and benefit, enabling a return and transcendence.
For the over four hundred and twenty million sentient brothers and sisters of high-tech civilizations, who must have undergone the confusion of entering the womb before being reconfigured in the present moment, how can you possibly comprehend such revelations of divine providence? Why, in the 21st century, can it be said that your technological civilization will unfold in this manner?
The pinnacle of technological civilization hinges on "research, invention, and creation." This, as manifested in your civilization, will be faithfully reflected in the human world. It can also revive past memories and project the entire process of survival orientation into the regenerative memory of the human world.
The further technology advances, the more it surpasses what came before.
This civilization and technology not only nourish the individual through "research, invention, and creation," but also enrich society as a whole. For all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, it becomes clear: why in today's world, those who borrow the original spirits of Buddha-disciples possess blessings even more abundant than those you yourselves enjoyed in the past!
It is even more refined and superior, precisely shaped by "research, invention, and creation," and further determined by the context of the times. It distinguishes itself from mere self-interest, serving the benefit of all—one might say: benefiting others while benefiting oneself! Such well-being and advantage will elevate oneself within a compassionate technological civilization.
Not only can it guide your current way of living toward truly enjoying blessings and fortune, but it can also initiate actions that genuinely contribute to human well-being and serve as a true refuge. This is indeed the authentic manifestation of civilized technology. In fact, the elevation of future technological civilization can be partially elucidated and revealed in the work "The Radiance of the Great Dao."
This marks yet another new mission and new sacred ground in the fifth phase of the Chongxin era, aimed at genuine salvation. But how should it truly be carried out? The immortals and buddhas have long imparted the guidance, yet you have been unable to fully align with it. Now that the elders have grown old, those who follow must bring forth renewed action. Reflect deeply on how to achieve this transformation!
Different Tasks in Different Periods
It is precisely to allow the Chongxin lineage to guide and ferry beings with extraordinary merit in the fifth phase of propagation, truly benefiting and reaping rewards, that selection must be undertaken. As for the persistence of erroneous transmissions and mistaken views, it is absolutely not due to a lack of compassion from the immortals and buddhas. Rather, they have repeatedly granted time for correction, yet if there is not the slightest change, what more can be done?
It can be clearly understood: the celestial beings and Buddhas of the heavenly realm oversee and evaluate every single action of Chongxin. All the deeds and conduct of the students, if they involve improper actions by Chongxin, will inevitably prevent Chongxin from truly benefiting. It is essential to comprehend why the Supreme Heavens have selected the leaders of Chongxin to become the true pillars of the Supreme Heavens.
It is precisely due to the extraordinary affinity of those capable of bearing the weighty responsibilities entrusted by Heaven that policies were established early on to differentiate all memories related to human existence. Consequently, because of these memories of human survival, as manifested through the inner self, such actions and behaviors arise, making it necessary to preserve all of them.
It can be clarified: Why should we truly develop human memory? There exists an "eighth consciousness" in which all past experiences from various cosmic cycles are formed. Through technological civilization, by means of "research, invention, and creation," genuine benefits can be achieved, which are realized through repeated cycles of "research, invention, and creation."
Creating benefits for all humanity.
Afterwards, we will continue to improve shortcomings and deficiencies step by step. The necessary actions to draw from the "deep-sea water resources" for the human world have only just begun. If the Chongxin lineage can apply the revelations of the immortals and buddhas as foundational nourishment for the future, it will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in the practical environmental processes of Earth's planetary system.
It is precisely beneficial to oneself and to all sentient beings, and it will bring substantial benefits to the future sacred mission and propagation of Chongxin. Moreover, through these actions, the mutual fulfillment and elevation of the ninety-two original spirits among the four hundred and twenty million original spirit Buddha-children are achieved, which is the grace of Heaven bestowed upon the economic system of Chongxin itself.
For all these veteran cadres, students, and disciples, it is essential to adopt new ways of thinking, new approaches, new reforms, and new growth. Only then can genuine propagation and guidance be achieved. Otherwise, they would merely bear the name of Chongxin students in vain, without any real transformation, making it exceedingly difficult to benefit and grow personally.
You may, through the leaders and all members of the institutes, halls, and societies, initiate a renewal. Only then can the true promotion and transcendence of the Great Way be achieved, and in your complete blessings, you will surpass all current difficulties and obstacles! I hope for it! I hope for it! There lies the distinction of your own choices.
Technology and civilization forge the future,
Promoting progress is the rightful path.
Harnessing deep-sea water resources to enhance one's own well-being and prosperity.
Wealth flows in, beloved by all; with heart, intention, and affection, it is carried forth.
All join forces to promote and propagate,
Guiding the return to the heavenly virtue's array.
This verse! For all sentient beings, original spirit Buddhas and disciples, to truly ascend and transform, and in light of all your sacrifices and offerings, you may truly benefit and enjoy blessings, advancing upward in growth and transcendence. Sentient humanity will thus achieve virtuous growth, elevation, and surpassing; may it be so! May it be so! Having disturbed Chongxin for a while, we shall meet again. All be auspicious!
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
The New Mission of the Fifth Phase of Chongxin: Prioritize Your Own Practice First
Reform alters habitual ways,  
One's own growth receives blessings' rays.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Four Ultimate Great Emperor, the Supreme Celestial Emperor of the Great Ultimate, has descended to compose the twenty-first chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," offering a true elucidation on the elevation of future technological civilization. In truth, there remain many celestial secrets that cannot yet be revealed in this session.
It will be left for the future or the next occasion to continue with further revelations and explanations. As for you all: habits, tendencies, individual nature, and innate character—since humans often find it difficult to change their ingrained habits and temperaments as they age—within the Chongxin lineage, a selection has already been made to remove those who are unworthy and persistently flawed, who should not remain.
It is essential to embrace: new practices, new reforms, new missions, and new guidance—this is one of the most important matters. I wonder if you all can comprehend it? Everyone has been at Chongxin for a long time, and concerning each individual: the detrimental functions of habits, inertia, personality, and innate disposition have long been preserved at Chongxin. These undesirable habits have been alluded to by the immortals and Buddhas on numerous occasions.
Rather than merely instructing and guiding the leaders alone, in truth, each and every student is repeatedly tested and made aware. Yet, how many can truly change? Shameful! Do not think that when the immortals and Buddhas take the stage, they merely nag incessantly. In reality, it is precisely because you all fail to change your bad habits—what else can be done?
If one's own energy body is insufficient to match that of the immortals and Buddhas, how can one achieve the fruit of Buddhahood in a single lifetime? Impossible! It is because one's own negative habits have persisted for so long, and what is wrong has long been mistaken for right. The immortals and Buddhas observe this and repeatedly offer indirect admonitions, yet they speak their truth, while you continue in your ways.
Furthermore, how can one truly "establish the standards of the Apricot Altar"? It is impossible! To cultivate a group of immortals and buddhas, one must possess the energy body of an immortal or buddha, and even more so, adopt their perspective and actions. As for this stubborn and unyielding negative disposition, you must reflect upon it yourselves! Do not let the immortals and buddhas think that you remain unchanged from the past.
Once again, a batch of unruly students has been singled out as negative examples. If we claim to be the "world's leading institution of learning" today, it is truly a cause for shame! I have been grumbling about this, but these are only the beginning. If you remain unchanged throughout your lives, when the time comes to return to the heavenly principle and strive for refinement, it will be more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Do you understand?
Regarding all the truth teachings of the Chongxin lineage, they are meant to enable you to "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime." Moreover, all immortals and Buddhas, at this very time, no longer rely on the "mind-seal method" but instead take the teachings of truth as their foundation. This ensures that you will not fall into the cycle of reincarnation again in the next life. Such is the profound care and effort of all immortals and Buddhas.
Can you comprehend this? Reflect upon it yourselves! It is essential to truly understand the teachings and writings just imparted in detail, for only then can you recognize your own shortcomings. If you remain unaware even of these, then you are truly indifferent and unfeeling. Apologies! If I have once again enumerated all your deficiencies, do not blame the immortals and buddhas for their painstaking efforts in guiding you! Correct them, and all can be accomplished! How about it? May everyone be auspicious and well. Farewell!
## Void-Silver Brush Great Dao Celestial Worthy
The Great Way of the South enlightens all beings;  
The compassion of sea and sky nurtures every soul.
The ancient teachings of the Great Way are now transmitted anew,  
The transformation of Buddha flourishes in full splendor.
The future of human technology is exceedingly prosperous.
Observing from the perspective of civilization and technology surpassing the present, technology in the future will flourish greatly. Through the process of "borrowing talents," over two million high-tech professionals will be cultivated to elevate the civilization of Earth's planetary system. This will also bestow blessings and virtues upon future generations of sentient beings, enhancing the comfort and survival of civilization.
This is a manifestation achieved through the joint deliberations of the Heavenly Court, serving the purpose of borrowing talents for the future. It is also a legacy from ancient times passed down to the present generation by the Supreme Heaven—a heritage that is difficult to preserve within the human world. Moreover, for the current era, the function of "borrowing talents" is further developed through the baptism of technological civilization, thereby creating a favorable living space.
Why is it that in human society, the principles of ethical norms and their practical application cannot be fully realized, nor can the practices of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues" be achieved? Moreover, why are these often dismissed as outdated notions? Such attitudes are seen as incompatible with the evolving trends of humane existence, making it difficult to comprehend how the compassionate virtues bestowed by Heaven can be understood.
It is precisely by initiating the role of another era's transition, re-elevating and transforming these "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues," that authenticity is achieved! Regarding the future of technological civilization, its significance depends on the reliance on technological civilization, yet as it is constructed through humanistic and ethical thinking, this reliance will gradually diminish.
Heaven enacts the regulations of human ethics and morality.
Why is it necessary to recalibrate all the functions and origins of "moral principles and ethical norms"? It is essential to understand that in the current human world, the ancient ethical norms of humanity have been obliterated, and there is no way to comprehend that the manifestations of the "Great Dao" are precisely grounded in the principles and truths of morality and ethics. Only by adhering to these can one genuinely accumulate benevolent blessings and good fortune!
For humanity to survive, if it cannot establish the principles of ethical norms, how can it anchor the welfare of the entire society? Without the guiding principles of "ethical norms," humanity would forever dwell in conflict, making it difficult to establish the realm of the "Pure Land of the Lotus World," and even more impossible to comprehend the original intent of Heaven.
Furthermore, within each religious denomination, regardless of its level of prosperity, it is essential to establish comprehensive and well-defined standards regarding ethical principles and moral truths. Only in this way can those in positions of influence lead by example, and those below follow suit. This creates a structured and orderly framework in reverence to the Divine, ensuring that all future primordial spirits and Buddha's disciples can rely on scientific and technological civilization as a foundation for their elevation.
You should carefully consider how the ethical principles in Taiwan have gradually deteriorated without notice. It has become increasingly difficult to uphold the foundational roles of the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues." Ethical and moral standards have progressively eroded, human hearts have grown more treacherous, and clarity has been lost regarding the original intent and functional duties toward Heaven.
The cultivation of the heart takes the eight virtues as its foundation.
This sentient world, amidst the advancement of technological civilization, faces its greatest obstacle if it fails to achieve breakthroughs in the construction of spiritual elevation. It is precisely for all original spirit Buddhas and disciples within this sentient world that the Heavens have bestowed this solemn responsibility upon the land of Jambudvīpa, specifically in Bade City, Taiwan. From this, one may understand why such a course of action is necessary!
The relocation of the Chongxin Sect to Bade City was formed precisely for such reasons. Moreover, this set of causal conditions serves to exercise the function of the "Eight Virtues," implemented through the establishment and refinement of guiding principles. It can be clearly understood that the future technological civilization will flourish greatly, and the role played by the Chongxin Sect in this process will be extraordinary.
In this current cosmic cycle, the Supreme Heaven has specifically established the Chongxin Sect, an educational institution of the celestial realm. It serves as an advocate for the future advancement of technological civilization, demonstrating the profound importance the Supreme Heaven places upon the Chongxin Sect. Furthermore, regarding all sacred duties and missions entrusted to the Chongxin Sect, they shall be carried out without the slightest compromise.
Particularly, the requirements for the conduct and demeanor of those in charge have been tested over approximately thirty years, followed by another nine years of observing the development of all key members of the Chongxin Sect. This is also aimed at ensuring that all future projects and tasks can genuinely elevate and surpass for the benefit of future generations, bringing blessings to all sentient beings.
The prospects for future technological advancement are exceedingly promising.
With the flourishing of technological civilization, it goes without saying that there has been significant enhancement. Moreover, it has provided abundant and substantial resources for the advancement of future technological civilization. For those unable to adapt to the duties and missions of the Chongxin Sect, another period of screening will ensue, retaining only those truly capable of "proclaiming the will of Heaven" and being cultivated and perfected thereby.
This represents a distinction between "the adaptable" and "the inadaptable." It is also through the descent of the "Heart-Seal Dharma Gate" to Chongxin by the Celestial Mandate in the third phase of the sacred mission of Chongxin, originally intended to enable you all to truly "illuminate the mind, see the nature, awaken to enlightenment, and realize the fruit" as a demonstration for all students of the Chongxin lineage.
Regarding the "Seal of the Heart Method," this will be highly fitting and authentic. Within it, there is simultaneous guidance, learning, supervision, and testing through verification. Given these circumstances and conditions, some students of the Chongxin lineage are unable to humble themselves sufficiently to achieve and fulfill the cultivation and perfection of the "Seal of the Heart Method."
Furthermore, it breeds arrogance, conceit, contempt, and rebellious actions! If we were to grant them the realization of "enlightening the mind and seeing one’s true nature, attaining awakening and fruition," would it not instead harm them? Throughout the process of screening, improving, and perfecting all students of the Chongxin lineage, even by the fourth period, this remains the case.
Technology will then flourish and prosper.
Alas! It truly seems that human hearts are no longer as virtuous as in ancient times—they are never content with humility but instead swell with arrogance and look down upon everything. Why is it that those whom Heaven truly grants "illumination of the heart, insight into nature, enlightenment, and attainment of fruition" were originally meant to become even humbler the more they "imprinted their hearts" and realized the truth, yet in reality, this is not the case? Thus, by the fifth epoch, a renewed sifting has begun to remove those who remain unadapted.
Furthermore, the "Method of Mind Seal" is applied to all students of the Chongxin Sect lineage through advanced courses for profound realization, which is of utmost importance. Are you able to comprehend this? It involves the mutual sealing of minds through the spiritual communication of the heart method, elevating and perfecting oneself by correcting erroneous thoughts and actions for improvement. This process enables them to avoid encountering obstacles of confusion that are difficult to resolve.
By elevating and expanding through one's own exceptional qualities, and within the orientation of survival, if one cannot establish a genuine transformation of the mind, it is impossible to break through the barriers constructed by the mind and transcend them. Instead, one might mistakenly believe that those who enter the "Heart-Seal Dharma Gate" can achieve mutual telepathic resonance, absorption, and reception with the universe.
It is precisely for you that we can come closer to "illuminating the mind, realizing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition." This represents a genuine transcendence in the educational and transformative curriculum for you. This clarity allows us to understand that the transcendence of technological civilization can bring your "mind, spirituality, and body" closer to the realization of "illuminating the mind, realizing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition."
Can the Human Mind Keep Pace with the Times
These conditions will initiate the first course of the Buddha's Pure Land. You may perceive them as part of the evolutionary function of technological civilization. However, if they fail to foster the elevation of "mind, spirit, and body," they will instead become genuine obstacles, forming a cycle of repeated stagnation and limitation. This must be vigilantly guarded against!
Since it fundamentally cannot truly achieve an ascending, transcendent, and purifying effect, why should you engage in the transformation of "purifying defilement and defiling purity"? It becomes clear that, in distinguishing the functional states of one's own "Buddha-nature Tathatā" and "spiritual Tathatā," one should be the master of oneself, not the slave of oneself.
Therefore, the compassion and grace of Heaven not only address the critical matters of your life and death but also elevate and transcend the workings of your reincarnation, akin to removing the firewood from under the cauldron. This is a level of elevation and transcendence that ordinary religions cannot achieve. It is essential to understand: without truly relying on the decrees bestowed by Heaven, how could one possibly attain such a state?
Thus, one cannot truly practice and propagate the Great Dao. It is essential to understand that under such conditions, how could one attain enlightenment in this very lifetime, or even achieve the stage of Buddhahood in a single existence? Would you believe it? No! It is necessary to undergo the passage of time, and only in the future can the true efficacy and benefits be witnessed!
All transformations brought about by technological civilization
At that time, it will certainly manifest in future efficacy! It will be a highly flourishing development, and within the role of your current technology's "virtual reality," there will also be a function of "relocating and transforming elsewhere" or "transforming and relocating to another place." This distinguishes between the differences of a "physical projection" and a "spiritual projection."
In response to the flourishing of technological civilization, which is bound to thrive vigorously, your future will depend not merely on observing the current state of affairs but on genuine elevation and transformation. As technological civilization advances, it will be enhanced through "Zinc-Titanium Technology" and sustained by the resources of "Deep-Sea Water."
It will be distinguished between "relocating to transform elsewhere" and "transforming by relocating elsewhere" in the future. One involves borrowing spiritual energy to convert into "transforming by relocating elsewhere," while the other relies on high-tech aircraft to achieve "relocating to transform elsewhere." Moreover, you should understand the transformative functions inherent in such high-tech civilizations.
Technology Elevates Spirituality, Planting Seeds for Growth
It depends on how the spiritual seeds are cultivated and elevated, and how "illuminating the mind to see one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit" is manifested. The distinction between "Buddha-nature as true suchness" and "demonic nature as true suchness" represents the right path. Precisely because the human world is one in which "Buddha and demon coexist," none of the religious scriptures in existence today can address this theoretical concept.
The concept lies in "Buddha and demon are originally one entity," and the "true suchness of Buddha and demon" is also of the same essence. It all depends on how you apply this in your daily existence. This is the great way of the world of mutual opposition. Moreover, within your dwelling place, the Earthly Nether Star (Morning Star), you are confined by this very mutual opposition. How then can you transcend beyond the three realms? It is exceedingly difficult!
If one wishes to journey toward the cosmic galaxies—whether in an era of flourishing future technology, achieving true transcendence of body, mind, and spirit, or repeatedly cycling through existence on the terrestrial star—it must be understood that each lifetime's attainment, or the accumulation of downfall across ages, and every division between achievement and regression, is ultimately a choice of one's own making.
The Dimi Star System forges technology, ushering in the peak era of civilization's prosperity.
Vigorously advancing in development, the spirit and body are harmoniously aligned.
Transforming other lands to lay a foundation,  
Transforming oneself by shifting to other lands.
Clarity in this life can be achieved;  
The choices of the present shape the foundation of the future.
This verse! Together with all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, we mutually fulfill one another. Not only will future technology flourish vigorously, but it will also achieve all distinctions and verifications through "relocating to other realms" or "transforming other lands." You all can witness the absolutely true process, discerning that the confirmations in the present works are indeed genuine and clear—this is the true nature of reality!
## Venerable of the Void—Homage to the Ancient Buddha, Venerable of the Void, of Supreme Virtue in the Human and Celestial Realms
The cosmic void is not the same;  
With each stroke, it descends to earth, radiating auspicious light.
The Celestial Worthy today gathers with the virtuous disciples,  
Together advancing the elevation of science and technology.
Good evening to all the Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the main authoring immortal Buddha of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter. This will elucidate the future, which is destined to be highly prosperous, and provide evidence of its function, enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha disciples to clearly understand why it is essential for you to "illuminate the mind, perceive the true nature, awaken to enlightenment, and realize the fruit" through personal experience!
This is a manifestation that reveals the true suchness of Buddha-nature, reaching the point of discerning one's future transformative function—whether to become the master of oneself or the slave of oneself. It also distinguishes within the human realm the three aspects of body, mind, and spirit, differentiating between "purity tainted by defilement" and "defilement purified," or "stain tainted by filth" and "filth stained by impurity," thus clarifying the distinctions among these four states.
It is precisely for the purpose of achieving elevation across lifetimes, rather than remaining trapped in the cycle of reincarnation within the Earthly Realm, that you are called to practice the "Mind-Seal Dharma Gate" of realizing the true nature of mind, attaining enlightenment, and verifying the fruit. This has long been bestowed upon you. It is essential that the more you practice the Mind-Seal, the more humble you become—this is the true path! Otherwise, if you achieve even a slight degree of realization and immediately become arrogant and restless, how would you feel about that?
This may lead outsiders to believe that you are not manifesting Buddha-nature, but rather demon-nature! Do you understand? Over these past years, this is precisely why I have not pointed out your shortcomings—do you realize that? It is also through observing you that I have discerned who can be cultivated and who cannot, thereby distinguishing the basis for future achievements!
##Void Soaring Dragon Celestial Worthy
All beings in Nanping are like Tathagata,  
Daoji descends, illuminating the light.
The Ancient Buddha authored twenty-three chapters,  
Pioneering beyond the ranks of technology.
The survival of all human beings is interdependent.
The role of thriving science and technology can be seen in the flourishing civilization of the future, which will be remarkably advanced and transcendent. The functions you possess today are not even one-tenth or one-hundredth of what the future holds. Such civilizational technology will further elevate the Diming Star System, fostering a benevolent, comfortable, and prosperous existence, thereby creating well-being for humanity.
It is precisely the benevolent grace of Heaven that bestows upon the myriad original spirits and Buddha-seeds in the human world, and toward the vast cosmos, there exists a mutual fulfillment akin to the nations of cosmic star systems. This is a concept that can be clearly understood in the present moment. Moreover, when comparing the human species on Earth, the species in other star systems are elevated through DNA.
Moreover, it is through the facilitation of RNA that QNA achieves self-illumination, enabling mutual fulfillment. This serves an ascension function for the Earth's star system. As for the myriad original spirit Buddhas and sentient beings in the world of sentience, why do they find themselves in their current circumstances? It is precisely because they are engaged in a process of spiritual connection with the universe or the Heavenly Realm, drawing remarkably close to it.
In the mortal world, there exists the resonance of invention.
From this, it becomes clear: under what conditions can we establish a direction for survival in the human world? It also lies in how, through the functions of all aspects of life, we can grow under the influence of "hearts connected by a shared spark of understanding"? In their research, inventions, and creations, humanity must have this "hearts connected by a shared spark of understanding" to mutually respond and support one another!
The world of sentient beings is precisely lacking this condition, which is the mutual connection with the divine and the cosmic energy body. Only through such a connection can one truly resonate and perceive. If genuine communion is unattainable, what remains is merely contact through "spiritual channels." Yet, many are unaware that in the human world, there exist numerous realms beyond our sight, residing in other dimensions!
There are: the third space, the fourth space, the fifth space, the sixth space... and so forth, none of which can truly achieve mutual elevation; instead, they fall into obstacles and limitations. This is yet another rather helpless endeavor, making it impossible to clearly perceive the energy bodies between the universe and the heavens, and thus unable to establish mutual resonance.
Humans often experience disturbances in consciousness.
Instead, they use their own "ideological" functions to achieve personal clarity and discernment, unaware that the workings of "ideology" often lead to acting based solely on one's own "thoughts and consciousness." This results in all situations of "letting the intellect dominate," which is the greatest sorrow for a spiritually attuned individual.
This phenomenon of "consciousness-driven action" is prevalent among spirit mediums today, and the same can be said for psychics. Those who truly comprehend the profound mysteries of heaven and earth are exceedingly rare! Precisely because they are unable to penetrate their own thoughts and consciousness, they become entangled in the workings of consciousness-driven action. This has also been the root of all obstacles and difficulties encountered by the Chongxin lineage over the past nine years.
Some students may find their progress hindered precisely by such actions; for humanity, the elevation from DNA to RNA is about enhancing through the transformation of genetic essence. Without this transformation, true transcendence is difficult to achieve. Similarly, the current WTO you possess represents a form of genetic modification that facilitates this process.
To achieve growth under such conditions, it becomes clear that the WTO itself integrates other genetic elements with your own, blending them into the human genetic makeup, while also preserving these eugenic genes. Among these, there exist many undesirable genes. How, then, should advanced screening measures be implemented?
WTO Intertwined by Shared Genes
Regarding the future of humanity, there can be mutual fulfillment. As for the practice of eugenic genetic modification, it will manifest in your descendants. Precisely through such actions, the WTO itself possesses a unique and auspicious affinity, enabling the enhancement and transcendence of human eugenics in the future, thereby benefiting generations to come.
This technological civilization, which you currently deem of little significance, must be understood as the very foundation that, over millennia, will enable the essence of human genetics to be refined and advanced through the principles of eugenics. By reshaping genetic conditions within a humane world, it will prove profoundly authentic and applicable, ultimately elevating the genetic heritage of your descendants.
This mindset and perspective have already contributed to the formation of a "global village." If one merely clings to their own genetic heritage, it will inevitably lead to significant integration in the future regarding humanity's survival orientation. You can clearly understand why this eugenics-based technology can create endless comfort, convenience, and a universally accessible lifestyle for humanity.
This function is not only comprehensible in the present moment but also, through technological civilization, is destined to reshape the principles of future eugenics. As it genuinely descends into the mundane world, such conditions will spread throughout the entire Earth and its star systems. Moreover, regarding the genetic essence of a region, it will preserve the superior traits while also containing many undesirable inherent qualities.
Technological civilization benefits all humanity.
This inherent disposition, even in the form of humanity's undesirable habits, will be faithfully passed down to future generations. How, then, can we elevate the principles of human eugenics? To truly manifest this in the mundane world, it is not merely about reforming all aspects of human existence, but about transforming the civilization and technology of the entire Earth and its stellar systems.
Moreover, the ability to transform the winds and clouds of the Earth's star system lies precisely in reforming the four elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" through the nourishment of "thunder, lightning, rain, and dew." Only by considering how to accomplish this for the entire Earth's star system can one truly transform your current ways of thinking and perspectives.
There will then be a process of theoretical conceptual reconstruction. Under such conditions, it can truly enable your thinking and actions to function in a way genuinely different from current thought, achieving real elevation and transcendence! This will create true benefits and blessings for the well-being of future generations.
Within this, there exist numerous obstacles that cannot be entirely eliminated at once, nor can all transformations be carried out in a single moment. Through each era and circumstance, and in every great cosmic cycle, the most crucial opportunities are seized to enact these transformations. The rest are left to unfold gradually, awaiting the overall development to reach a certain stage before continuing to descend into the mortal world.
Technological civilization also has many obstacles.
This entails numerous levels of issues and bottlenecks, necessitating repeated adjustments for all sentient beings. In the human world—the world of physical reality—and the world of spiritual existence, these two realms intersect and interact with one another. The distinction between them is, in fact, profoundly vast.
You dwell in the realm of actuality, and all civilizations within the spiritual realm cannot be comprehended or connected through the human world. Those who possess such energy are exceedingly rare! Indeed, the flourishing of future technological civilization will greatly surpass and transcend the current civilization, far exceeding the temporal and causal conditions of the past.
Over nearly four billion years on Earth, this cosmic cycle has emerged to elevate and transcend. Throughout past civilizations, despite numerous cycles of research, invention, and creation that propelled the growth of the Earth's spiritual realm, human insatiability—like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—has repeatedly led to the restructuring of the Earth's star system.
This civilization and technology will not emerge again in this cosmic cycle. It is precisely through the divine intervention of Heaven in the evolution of civilizations that a true Pure Land world is established. Thus, there will be transformations such as "relocating to other realms" or "transforming other lands," achieved either through the migration of physical realities or spiritual dimensions, which you must discern and apply accordingly.
Benefits of Earth Space Growth
In the process of the mutual fulfillment and creation of the overall cosmic galaxies and the star Mingdi, this not only brings considerable blessings to the Earth's galaxy. However, if one fails to keep pace with the trends of the times, it will be impossible to achieve genuine improvement in one's own survival orientation in the future. This ultimately depends on your learning and application, which constitutes the true nature of reality.
The relocation of Chongxin Hall to the Kadan area of Taoyuan’s Bade District holds significant importance. Within this move, there are many aspects of creative spirit that should be learned and applied now, rather than waiting for the future. This can be implemented immediately, whether in international languages, technological civilization, computer networks, literary genes, and more.
If the "deep-sea water resources" can be utilized as an energy source, enabling the creation of a future economic system grounded in truth, it will facilitate the transcendence and growth of all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples in times to come. This will bring boundless blessings to both the present and future generations, as bestowed by the grace of Heaven upon all of you. It represents the potential for future achievements within the Chongxin lineage.
In the creation of "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology," every step leaves a distinct footprint, aligning with the broader world. Through present efforts, we cultivate the virtuous legacy for future well-being, benefiting ourselves first and then all beings—this is the true path. I wonder if all students of the Chongxin lineage can comprehend and appreciate this.
Technological civilization forges the future, flourishing to benefit all beings.
Sentient resources can be utilized,  
Together transforming four billion beings into vessels of Buddhahood.
To advance and surpass, one must understand;  
Theories and concepts are truly essential.
Crafting one's own destiny and that of posterity,  
Welfare extends through ingenious arrangements.
This verse is shared with all of you as mutual encouragement: it expounds on the advanced transcendence of space, allowing you to understand that future technology will be immensely prosperous and surpass the present in advancement. Yet, can you lay the foundational groundwork now? Strive diligently! Strive diligently! The immortals and Buddhas also delight in aiding your success! Today marks the sacred birthday of the Marshal of the Central Altar. Delicacies and sweet dew have long been prepared, awaiting your presence with reverence. May all be auspicious. Farewell, everyone!
##Namo Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva
A plain cup awaits the gathering,  
On the ninth day of the ninth month, when heavenly virtue aligns.
The golden pen unveils wisdom and elucidates,  
Gathering all devoted companions of kindred spirit.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the 23rd installment is being delivered by the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, who has descended to expound upon the advanced functions that surpass all others. This will once again deepen your contemplative understanding and help establish a solid foundation.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect has relocated to the Qiedong area. This region offers abundant opportunities for educational spaces. The key lies in how you apply the comprehensive curriculum of educational culture, enabling all students of our sect to truly benefit and achieve transcendence. Do not allow excuses and reasons to pile up again when the time comes. If the foundation cannot be firmly established from the roots, how can progress be made?
If we fail to ensure that all functions of the future "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" can genuinely benefit future generations, how can we connect with the world? You must understand: among these, there will be many of the four hundred million Buddha's disciples who will return to jointly participate in the sacred mission of promoting this cosmic cycle. Chongxin will surely gain many new forces! Can you comprehend this?
## Heavenly Venerable of the Soaring Phoenix in the Void
Namo Supreme Praised Tathagata,  
The Lamp-Lighting Heart Dharma Aligns with Heavenly Virtue.
The Ancient Buddha authored twenty-four chapters,
Demonstrating exemplary roles to nurture outstanding talents.
Demonstration of Technological Civilization in the Human World
Through the advancement of technological civilization, one can witness extraordinary transcendence, granting greater fulfillment to the Earth and its celestial systems. This is also aimed at all living beings of Jambudvipa, enabling them to achieve realization and learning within this cosmic cycle. Such elevation must undergo millennia of refinement, and it takes tens of millions of years to ultimately attain the transcendence and return.
This can be clearly understood: the future technological civilization is indeed highly advanced, achieved through extensive support and learning for the generations to come. In terms of education and enlightenment for the well-being of all, it is through the creation of civilization in the Earth's star system that many obstacles from the past, once insurmountable, are now being resolved.
In this context, it is essential to achieve mutual fulfillment through the holistic Earth galaxy system, while relying on technological civilization to secure the well-being of future generations. How can one benefit in the present? It is precisely a step-by-step, footprint-by-footprint process. In the world of technological reality, all functions of civilization, education, and cultivation will be genuinely elevated!
This cannot be achieved overnight or by leaping directly from the current human world. To understand the distinction between the realm of physical reality and the realm of spiritual reality, it is essential to clarify that the realm of physical reality is grounded in all tangible phenomena. This realm relies on complete, substantial physical forms to manifest its functions, allowing for discernment, yet it is merely the functional expression of all celestial phenomena.
Borrowing the function of growth through the role of generals.
The sustenance provided by the human world's orientation toward survival arises from the interplay and mutual fulfillment of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—which impose their influences. Further, through the shared functions of thunder, lightning, rain, and dew, the work of evolution is equally distributed. Shaped by the human world, this grants a shared living space bound by mutual constraints.
It is to rectify the insufficiency of atmospheric conditions and achieve balance, and to address why the Earth's planetary system functions as a "global village." It can be clearly understood that in the present era, "earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, lightning, rain, and dew" are all fully present and without deficiency. It can be said that national prosperity, public peace, and favorable weather conditions can surely be enhanced and developed through human efforts.
Rather than merely borrowing what the Earth's galaxy lacks or has in excess, through the creative process driven by humanitarian factors, it can mutually benefit all spaces within the Earth. This is quite common—using the technological civilization of the Earth's galaxy as a model for other galaxies in the future.
For other more advanced technological civilizations on other planets, the Earth's star system should continue to learn and fulfill its primary karmic foundations. Although there are still many star systems that are not as developed as Earth's—such as those that are undeveloped, newly developed, or already developed—they all rely on these established functions for guidance.
The existence of human life is governed by the interplay of the five elements.
Governed by the Earthly Star System, it entails the equal distribution of "earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, lightning, rain, and dew." Through the technological civilization of the human world, the Earthly Nether Star System is transformed into an electric fluid, radiating a protective shield around the entirety. This compensates for the deficiencies and breaches in the "ozone layer," thereby restoring its integrity.
Within this, there are many instances that have undergone the transformation of the "Five-Colored Pearl" through the five elements, providing the human world with the adaptations of the five elements in terms of survival-oriented actions. This inevitably involves the mutual generation and restriction among the five elements, and the overall function must be clearly understood. It is precisely because of the pervasive influence of the four elements: "earth, water, fire, and wind."
This gives rise to the mutual restraint and generation among the Five Elements, which can be further perfected by complementing the aspect of mutual generation. Moreover, this principle can be applied to the ancient technological civilization of the Central Plains, where the mutual generation and restraint among the five elements—"metal, wood, water, fire, and earth"—are integrated with the mutual generation and restraint among the four elements—"earth, water, fire, and wind." This serves as humanity's method for seeking auspiciousness and avoiding misfortune.
It is about fulfilling the generative interactions rather than undermining them through destructive cycles. This is what must be understood in the future regarding the intrinsic functions of the Five Elements. It is also essential to clarify how to draw upon the "ancient scientific and technological civilization of China" in the process of re-creation, so that it can be adapted and applied to benefit all aspects of today's and tomorrow's world.
Human civilization serves as a model.
Thus arises the necessity of mutual fulfillment, which is not fallacious reasoning but the correct path. This is precisely because the ancient Chinese concepts of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, in their application to the sentient world and the multitude of original spirit Buddhas of the future, can genuinely elevate the present moment for its establishment. Within this lies an undeniable and correct principle, serving to attract good fortune and avert misfortune.
With the advancement of technological civilization, it is essential to understand how to apply the "ancient Chinese principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams." These principles of mutual generation and restraint serve as guiding functions, capable of benefiting future progress. Moreover, the primary causes and conditions of these Five Elements must be comprehended through the principles of their mutual generation and restraint, after which they can interact and evolve in mutual growth.
Only then can one truly comprehend that the primary causal functions of all technological instruments applied in the future technological civilization are grounded in reality, not in error. This allows sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples to mutually support and learn from one another in the process. Precisely in this way, through the bestowal of such conditions, it manifests as a demonstration for the galaxies of the universe.
There are still many galaxies that are undeveloped, newly developed, or already developed, and these galaxies number over four hundred million. How do you plan for the future, mutually supporting and enhancing one another through exemplary roles? It is essential to genuinely adapt and inherit through education and culture, thereby establishing the very foundation of your present civilization.
The benevolence and virtuous grace of Heaven are for the benefit of all.
It is essential to establish ethical norms such as the "Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues." Some may dismiss this as outdated rhetoric, questioning whether such principles can still prevail in the humanistic world of the 21st century. If so, they fail to understand that these moral codes of society are precisely founded upon the universal principles and structures of cosmic order.
Many present-day primordial spirit Buddhas and disciples are unable to comprehend why the Confucian framework of thought can be genuinely implemented in the human world. This is precisely because the Heavenly Realm has descended the ancient foundations of all civilizations into the human world, addressing the fact that sentient primordial spirit Buddhas and disciples fail to understand, despite the remarkable advancement and transcendence of technological civilization.
However, within the system of human ethics and morality, this cannot be erased. Precisely because of the function of establishing mutual frameworks, there exists the beneficial effect of "those above setting an example for those below." This is achieved through regulations, systems, codes, and normative frameworks serving as models, elevating sentient beings to learn and grow, thereby genuinely progressing upward and benefiting from it.
For any original spirit and Buddhist disciple aspiring to attain accomplishment, without such a framework in place, how could one comprehend the function of the divine laws and regulations? How else could the establishment of norms serve as the primary basis for governance? Otherwise, how could the billions of galaxies in the vast universe—each with their own rotation and revolution—be managed in accordance with these laws?
The Universe and Its Galaxies Serve as a Model
How can the true and great virtue and grace be disseminated throughout the entire cosmic galaxy? If there are no regulations, systems, codes, or normative frameworks for the Earth's galaxy, how can any leadership role be established to govern it? This is precisely how the Heavenly Providence manages the entire world, with superiors setting examples and inferiors following them!
If one cannot be restrained by management rules, how can there be a regular framework for implementation? This is the function formed by the universal principle, which is truly extraordinary. Only by following this guiding principle to supervise and manage can it be considered the right path! This applies without distinction to all cosmic star systems, as well as all management systems of human organizations.
These conditions precisely represent mutual interactions, fulfilling the entire galaxy and interstellar space. Similarly, within a group, a unit, a company, or the institutional aspects of a religion itself, it is essential to clarify: without constraints, freedom may be allowed to unfold, which indeed can foster opportunities for future growth.
However, when transgressions become excessively overbearing and tyrannical, and all regulated actions cannot be restrained, can it be said that there is any order? Certainly not! This is precisely the principle of cosmic justice applied to the human world, and it is likewise extended to all religious sects and lineages. It makes no distinction among races, nations, or professions—all are treated equally!
All systems serve the function of restraint.
Furthermore, the same applies to the Supreme Heaven and the universe. The function of this governance system lies precisely in establishing mutual constraints and regulations as norms, while also serving as a demonstration for the future: only when the entire cosmic galaxy is governed by a multi-layered, tiered management system can the true functions of norms and institutions be genuinely realized.
This is demonstrated through the institutional framework, and the same applies to Chongxin! It is essential to establish the Chongxin lineage with regulations, systems, norms, and codes. May I ask everyone: how can a sound management system be established? Wouldn’t that already resemble a carriage pulled by multiple horses, making it fundamentally impossible to promote the Great Dao? How much can one truly understand of such knowledge?
The systems ordained by Heaven and the cosmos, as well as all institutions of the human world, are precisely the manifestations of a unified principle descending as a model. Within this, numerous constraints and regulatory frameworks are implemented to ensure authenticity. How, then, can the alignment of superiors and subordinates be established? It lies in truly comprehending the integration of the greater collective, which should be adapted and practiced within the human world.
Regulations for Exemplary Role: Different from System Management
Canons and norms serve as exemplars,  
The cosmos and the heavens alike emulate them.
Advanced technology sails into the future,  
Human wisdom soars with boundless measure.
Spiritual growth becomes ever more abundant, returning to surpass the heavenly virtue's record.
This verse is shared with all of you as mutual encouragement: to manifest the principles, systems, and regulatory norms of the divine cosmos in the mortal world. This is precisely the function of "the top leading and the bottom following in one unified chain," establishing all rules, systems, and codes to grant you greater growth and harvest! May it be so! May it be so!
##Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva
The void and the world are inherently distinct,  
Yet by the silver pen’s great path, they meet.
The Heavenly Lord today meets with the virtuous disciples,  
Speaking of daily life with even greater ease.
Good evening to all saints and buddhas, virtuous beings, esteemed disciples, and cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Great Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namo Burning Lamp, has descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." This chapter will demonstrate the civilization of future technology and disseminate its management systems into the human world, enabling everyone to gain understanding.
Thus, the content can be clarified, not only in terms of what can be understood within the human world at present, but also through successive writings, and even within firsthand materials, the great mysteries of the entire cosmic galaxy can be illuminated. You may say: those who are most blessed are able to receive the revelations of many heavenly secrets bestowed by the heavens.
This is the true process of elevating oneself through ideological transformation, where change is achieved through the power of thought. It transforms past limitations in mental construction into endless personal benefits, offering sentient beings the favorable conditions for goodness. Through this, one can grow, improve, and transcend, benefiting both oneself and all living beings.
## Celestial Worthy of Virtue Transmitted by the Way of Emptiness
The void is originally a pure land,  
Where the sage descends in the era of radiance.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
A new creation establishes the foundation of Heavenly Virtue.
Human technology is a novel creation.
The extraordinary advent of the Bright Technology signifies a process of civilizational creation, serving as a demonstration within the vast cosmos and galaxy systems, capable of achieving genuine elevation. This represents a unique condition for the cosmic galaxy systems, enabling the upliftment of all galaxies and interstellar realms. Through this demonstration and manifestation, it elevates the myriad planets and celestial bodies.
It will benefit all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, serving as a model for growth. This forms a dual path: on one side, learning fosters development, while on the other, wisdom and experience accumulate. Through this learning process, a genuine understanding of growth in the real world is established. Moreover, such conditions of cause and circumstance enable the transcendence of worldly existence.
It enables the galaxies of the vast universe to achieve fruition, while also allowing sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples to ascend to a new realm through the learning process. Not only does it clarify that the transcendence of sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples surpasses all achievements across past times and spaces by a great measure, but it is also guided by the divine will of Heaven.
All Evolutions of the Earthly Abyss Star System
It is through surpassing the civilization and technology that the ninety-two primordial spirits or four hundred million Buddha's disciples are perfected. It is due to the karmic conditions on the Earthly Dark Star that the conditions for creation are facilitated, enabling growth and benefit. For the countless sentient primordial spirits and Buddha's disciples living in the world between heaven and earth, there exists an environment of mutual interaction, from which they fundamentally cannot escape this predicament.
When a situation of mutual opposition takes shape, it is essential to understand that through cultivation and transformation within the human world, the limitations of such opposition can be overcome and perfected. This allows humanity across the vast world to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. Calculated in terms of a new era and spacetime, numerous celestial immortals, Buddhas, holy deities, and Bodhisattvas will undoubtedly participate in and support the nurturing and transformation of this cosmic cycle.
Furthermore, regarding the mutual enhancement within the temporal cycles, if one were to rely solely on past conditions, it would be fundamentally impossible to comprehend the mutual interactions of the Earth and the Nether Star. This, in turn, relies on the function of calculating the causes and conditions of time and space, precisely through which growth is achieved. By accumulating experience through learning, the research, development, creation, and improvement of technological civilization are advanced, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
In the human world, the existence of humanity brings forth beneficial functions and effects, which in turn extend to all living beings and myriad creatures of the Earth and the underworld star. All participate collectively in the roles of survival. How, then, can the elevation and transcendence of all living beings be achieved? It is precisely through the new laws ordained by Heaven to bring about fulfillment, and this is not limited solely to the educational and cultural aspects of religion.
Elevation and Evolution of Earth's Space
It is fundamentally impossible to extend this to the entirety of the vast universe. One must understand that the Heavenly Providence, through great virtue and grace, enables all original spirit Buddhas and disciples on the Earthly Star to learn, grow, and benefit. You may carefully reflect on the direction of life over the past 50 years—has it not improved and advanced significantly compared to the earlier agricultural society?
It is precisely the emergence of the new industrial world order that stems from the implementation of the predetermined policies by the Divine Providence. Within this, there are numerous blessings and graces bestowed by the Divine upon all fundamental endeavors across the vast world. Moreover, if you remain attached to the thoughts and concepts of the past, you may find it difficult to align with the current circumstances and opportunities in the times to come.
The wheel of time advances with astonishing speed, covering thousands of miles in a single day. Moreover, what is revealed today will serve to fulfill all the functions and deeds of tomorrow within an entirely new landscape. Thus, the celestial immortals and Buddhas, in their collective participation in this cosmic cycle, work to elevate and unite all religious traditions and lineages in the human world.
Why engage in such practices? Through the process of religious purification, one can discard undesirable human traits: habits, tendencies, innate nature, and personality. Moreover, the fundamental requirement of the Chongxin lineage is precisely to examine whether one can transform their own habits, tendencies, innate nature, and personality. If, upon entering Chongxin, one remains unchanged with the same undesirable habits as before, what would become of them?
Students of the Chongxin School cultivate and transform through self-improvement.
Thus, they bring negative examples into Chongxin, carrying with them undesirable habits. Such practitioners are merely registering their names and enrolling as students of the Chongxin lineage in name only. If they remain difficult to change, it will likely be very hard for them to achieve the fruition of Buddhahood in this lifetime. Moreover, their merits and virtues will not be transformed into blessings bestowed upon them. Can you understand this?
It is precisely your past unwholesome habits that, in the process of mutual refinement and improvement, serve to complement one another. Because your ingrained tendencies are as they are, and because sentient beings in the external world share similar tendencies, these deeply rooted habits are difficult to change. If you wish to attain enlightenment in this very moment and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime, it is essential to genuinely cultivate, reform, and correct these faults.
Talent can compensate for one's own shortcomings or the deficiencies of sentient beings in the external world. However, if even scientific civilization faces such obstacles, how can there be genuine ascension and transcendence? It is precisely because Chongxin is not an ordinary religious sect but a distinguished lineage of prophecy, enlightenment, and spiritual elevation that it enables upward growth and advancement.
If all students truly comprehend and realize the essence of "understanding the mind and perceiving the nature, attaining enlightenment and verifying the fruit," then as you say: could the lineage of the Chongxin Sect not propagate its teachings throughout the entire world? If it could not, that would indeed be strange! Precisely because what you have come into contact with is firsthand material, how could you not truly and clearly understand all the divine revelations and mysteries bestowed by Heaven?
All the necessities for the fulfillment of causes and conditions
It is precisely because all religions in the present era are unable to attain transcendent achievements that you not only possess considerable blessings and great karmic affinities—which are, in fact, the sublime affinities accumulated over countless lifetimes—but also must not let them slip away easily. Moreover, you should truly benefit from the enlightenment you have attained at this very moment, which is indeed something to be anticipated!
Moreover, to truly achieve the Buddha's fruit and rank in this lifetime, one must reflect on the effort, sacrifice, and devotion one has offered. It is essential to understand: to be a student of the Chongxin lineage, upholding the honor of the community, is to propagate the Great Dao and create abundant virtues and blessings for future generations. I wonder if you are willing?
Within this, there must be many instances of personal sacrifice and devotion, even contributions made through selfless non-action, all aimed at elevating oneself toward the supreme affinity with Heaven. Moreover, it involves the collective participation of the entire cosmic interstellar realm and all living beings within the space of the Earthly Star, in this primordial epoch, to jointly create and develop the primary conditions for future well-being.
Numerous technological advancements that were once unattainable in the past have now emerged. You may contemplate how many, many inventions and creations in the present moment have revealed opportunities within the vast universe. This is also because, by borrowing talents from other star systems, over two million high-tech experts have descended to the Earth's planetary system to foster growth and well-being.
The Growth Process of Invention and Creation
Moreover, many inventions and creations have long been accomplished, yet you still believe they are not visible at present. In truth, research and development have long been quietly underway. It is precisely because the creation of technological civilization, throughout the process of research and invention, is often carried out in obscurity by inventors who endure considerable solitude. This is how it has always been before an invention is revealed to the world.
The dedication and toil invested in this endeavor are beyond your comprehension, while the inspiration for all civilizational creations stems from the "recreated manifestation of thought" that arises from "a meeting of minds." These two aspects mutually shape each other, giving rise to numerous intricate and elusive phenomena within the physicochemical engineering of Earth's planetary system, as well as the demonstration of technological civilization.
It must be achieved step by step. Moreover, for these creative talents, research and inventions are carried out in successive groups. Such conditions and circumstances make it clear that in the human world, although it is only a newly developed planet, it has already driven the creation of many future technological civilizations. Therefore, after inventing the "Model Matrix," it is essential to implement it.
If the actions of the entire global community continue to be carried out in this manner, it is certain that each generation will surpass the previous one, both now and in the future. From this perspective, the technological civilization of the future—whether a hundred years from now or even a thousand years later—will transcend the civilizations of the past and present by hundreds or even thousands of times.
Technology of Unprecedented Creation
Therefore, it is essential to have numerous creative talents who mutually fulfill the evolutionary and creative processes of heaven and earth. This will bring true and endless benefits to all future original spirit Buddha-children. What do you think? By mutually supporting the nations of Jambudvīpa, we can easily elevate the technological civilization of the future human world.
Furthermore, it can achieve the transformation of "relocating and transforming other places" or "transforming other places through relocation." It also addresses the increasingly severe pollution of Earth's planetary system in the future, exploring whether "deep-sea water resources" can serve as a clear and purifying energy source. For the greater world, it can enhance the comfort and convenience of human survival, and even achieve widespread accessibility.
This technological civilization, within the realm of human society, is poised to undergo a significant enhancement around the year 2050. In response to current technologies, it will inevitably filter out numerous adverse effects, enabling a process of innovative creation. As human society once again reevaluates the utility of these advancements, it will inevitably identify and phase out those elements that prove less adaptable.
Renovating and Transforming the Causes and Conditions
Thus, allowing the future yet to come to once again immerse itself in the transformation and reform of the Earth's star system will inevitably give rise to numerous calamities and afflictions, creating what can be described as an exceedingly cruel situation. Yet, what alternative is there? The great virtue of Heaven lies in nurturing all living beings as its benevolent grace; the mercilessness of Heaven treats all living beings as straw dogs.
Do you understand whether the divine embodies great compassion and mercy, or great unkindness and indifference? This is precisely the process through which a new situation can be witnessed. As disasters and calamities continue to increase, it is essential to comprehend why the divine must initiate a renewed process of selection. This is deeply connected to your very energy bodies!
The distinction between truly benefiting and not benefiting lies in the mutual fulfillment of such conditions. Through the process of creation and dissemination by the energy body, mutual elevation and transcendence are achieved. You all participate in and contribute to the evolutionary workings of this cosmic cycle. It is hoped that you may comprehend the inner meaning and mysteries therein—this is the hallmark of great wisdom!
Heaven and Earth manifest as a model,  
A new creation restores heavenly virtue.
All sentient beings join in fulfillment,  
Together in this cosmic cycle to partake and support.
The time of karma has arrived, bringing calamities;  
The unfit are sifted out and rearranged.
In the next cycle of the world, changes will unfold anew,  
Together fulfilling the heavenly plan, with virtue and grace bestowed.
This verse! Let us encourage each other, fellow sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children: When heavenly secrets are revealed and internalized as profound inner treasures, one will inevitably gain many realizations. How does this process unfold? Precisely because the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage have long bestowed numerous teachings, you might think they speak falsehoods. Is this truly the case? It is not so!
If one day you encounter such a situation, you will surely feel deeply moved. And if one day you personally face a tribulation, how will you verify the words spoken by the immortal and Buddha teachers of the present? By then, regret will already find you in the midst of calamity, with everything long settled and beyond remedy—what then can be done? I am grateful for your companionship in this work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
##Namo Manjushri Bodhisattva
The Void Dragon soars to the Sacred Terrace,  
As calamities befall the world of sentient beings.
Sifting the unfit for proper rearrangement,  
The heavenly virtue opens the path of great Dao.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Supreme Chairman of our lineage, the Celestial Master of the Void, has descended to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," elucidating the revelation of heavenly secrets through new creations. This also encompasses numerous blessings and virtues of celestial mysteries, as manifested in the calamities and tribulations across the vast universe.
From this perspective, how should the countless future Buddhist disciples and original spirits approach the coming calamities, steering toward fortune and avoiding misfortune, to follow the righteous path! Otherwise, if one day you are caught in these tribulations, it will not be due to the lack of compassion from the immortal Buddhas and teachers, nor solely because of your own lack of effort. For the immortal Buddhas have long forewarned, and those capable of offering protection will never withhold their aid.
However, one must never allow the cycle of cause and effect to become a mutual hindrance. It is possible to transform the undesirable aspects of human nature—habits, inertia, inherent disposition, and personality. Herein lies the true opportunity for you to "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve Buddhahood in this very lifetime." I wonder how you perceive this process? And how will you navigate the future to attract fortune and avoid misfortune?
Disciples: Today, the Heavenly Truth has been revealed through the sacred writings composed by the Righteous Chairman. I wonder how each of you has personally comprehended it? Moreover, in the face of future calamities, can you truly steer toward fortune and avoid misfortune? Indeed, in your next writings, you will surely be able to clarify all the causes and consequences, offering everyone a path to ascend, grow, and transcend.
##Celestial Venerable of the Principle and Law Governing the Void
Namo the Supreme Praised Tathagata,  
Avalokitesvara's voice relieves suffering.
The Bodhisattva descends to bestow the Book of Light;  
It is even more fitting to correct our shortcomings and make improvements.
Growth in the world necessarily requires learning.
The Dao observes all functions, and through the process of new creation, it becomes clear how "creation, research, and invention" operate. Among these, many are simple and crude models that must undergo repeated trials and improvements. Only by striving for perfection and achieving practicality can they evolve and transform their shortcomings.
What kind of elevation can the sentient world achieve? And what kind of transcendence, along with its quality, is possible? All of these can be understood by clearly recognizing what is lacking and insufficient. Moreover, by understanding where one's own shortcomings lie and what the role of improving these deficiencies is, it is precisely through addressing past inadequacies and shortcomings that elevation, evolution, and transcendence can be achieved.
It is essential to understand whether creation and quality can be refined to perfection, and how to genuinely elevate human character while achieving self-improvement and transcendence. The key lies in filtering out substandard elements and identifying effective methods for improvement. One must clearly comprehend the entire process and be capable of making revisions and changes to foster growth.
Only through elevation and transcendence can perfect quality be achieved.
This allows for the improvement of all defective flaws and shortcomings, enabling a truthful refinement of quality itself. Through successive iterations, an elimination process takes place, leading to the cultivation of a more advanced and exquisite quality. With each round of revision and refinement, the quality becomes more perfect and refined than before.
Such conditions of cause and effect are bound to elevate the quality of human nature, enabling the creation of a more refined character. As for the sentient primordial spirits and Buddha-children, the reason they must repeatedly undergo transformation and enhancement within the human world lies precisely in the pursuit of continuous improvement and perfection, thereby ascending, growing, and transcending to higher levels.
Just as in human society, improving one's own human deficiencies can lead to ascent and transcendence. It is through human effort that one is elevated, while the undesirable aspects are refined and meticulously carved, achieving a delicate and transcendent state. This orientation toward survival in the human world is precisely the necessity of educational curricula.
From the learning of childhood, through the imitation of adolescence, and progressing through the learning processes of youth and middle age, one enters the mature and expressive stage of prime adulthood. Each phase of learning and growth is distinct, much like the innocent and artless actions of a young child, which manifest in an utterly endearing manner.
Refined quality requires repeated refinement.
If the original essence is coarse, it cannot be refined; only through repeated improvements can quality be elevated and sophistication achieved. This is akin to the process of learning and growth from childhood through adolescence, youth, and middle age. Although each stage follows a similar pattern, the learning and growth experienced at each phase are distinct.
Having undergone all the trials and tempering of the human world, though the same individual, one’s thought structure is no longer what it once was. This is an understanding of the function of all instances where "hearts are linked by a single spark of insight." In refining and transforming one’s human qualities, whether like an object, one improves upon shortcomings, and observes all future outcomes.
In the human world, it is precisely through repeated refinement and meticulous carving that one can undergo the process of cultivation. Only after polishing and tempering a flawed piece of jade can its brilliant radiance be revealed. This is akin to the journey of existence in the human realm, where each experience brings about distinct growth.
Upon careful reflection, one realizes that the process of personal growth follows a similar path. This is precisely how the human world evolves. As the wise saying goes, "A drum does not sound unless struck; jade does not become a vessel unless carved; a person does not understand righteousness without learning." Just like a gemstone, which begins as a rough and unpolished stone, it must be discovered and unearthed through human effort.
Before it sparkles with brilliance, a gem is merely a stone.
If one wishes to achieve a radiant brilliance, it is necessary to undergo much carving and polishing, and even processes such as grinding and buffing, before it can be revealed to the world. Is this process not akin to the refinement and improvement of your habits, tendencies, inherent nature, and individuality? It is precisely through such adjustments that the human qualities of sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddhas, are honed.
Every human being, as well as every product, is formed with flaws, imperfections, and deficiencies. Often, throughout an entire lifetime, there is no improvement in one's human qualities, and change is difficult to achieve. If this is the case, then in each cycle of reincarnation, transformation remains elusive. No matter how many lifetimes one undergoes, what can truly be accomplished?
In this world, all beings find it difficult to refine, sculpt, and polish the flawed qualities and shortcomings of human nature. Yet, you are the sculptor of your own habits, tendencies, personality, and innate character. Is your craftsmanship precise? Is it delicate? How, then, in this human world, do you become the sculptor of yourself?
In truth, it is all due to one's own crude and primitive nature! The true test lies in the process of one's own choices; if throughout a lifetime one fails to refine the undesirable qualities of human nature—truly eliminating one's temperament, habits, inertia, and innate character—then it is in vain to have entered the Chongxin lineage or any other religious faith for cultivation.
All human beings must cultivate and transform themselves.
If one merely remains as they are, it will become the dividing line between ascent and descent. Although the immortals, Buddhas, and the Heavens have all granted individuals the opportunity to enter religion or the Chongxin lineage for transformation, if one finds it difficult to improve and create change, and instead hopes to achieve transformation and elevation in the next lifetime—is such a possibility truly attainable?
I ask you all: if you cannot achieve genuine efficacy and benefit in the present moment, and if you are unable to grasp the opportunities revealed by the heavenly workings in such an environment, how can you even speak of attaining extraordinary karmic conditions in the next life? Reflect carefully upon this yourselves, and you will surely understand where the mystery lies! This is a truth common to all human worlds, and it applies equally to every race of people.
This is true for all humans and the myriad original spirits. However, why does the Heavenly Realm send you down to the Earthly Nether Star System for transformation and elevation? Precisely because it is a world of mutual interaction between yin and yang. Humanity exists as a state of mutual interplay: half yin, half yang; half divine, half ghostly; half human, half beast; half Buddha, half demon.
Every interaction will draw your karmic connections from every angle and direction, creating for all your life orientations an environment of "yin-yang mutual interaction." How, then, should one transform what is lacking? This becomes a profoundly intricate discipline of cultivation, offered for humanity to learn and grow.
Sentient beings can achieve realization in a single lifetime.
The human world is a pivotal point of ascent and descent. Why is it that sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples cannot transcend the three realms? It is due to the mutual interaction of yin and yang, which confines them within these limitations. Under such conditions, how can you break through? The answer lies in attaining enlightenment in the present moment, thereby achieving Buddhahood in a single lifetime!
Is this a case of immortals and buddhas speaking falsehoods? Not at all! It is precisely due to the connections of causes and conditions across different times and spaces, as well as the efforts each individual has made, that the resulting efficacy and benefits are observed. Moreover, you are currently following in the footsteps of the immortals and buddhas to learn and grow. Although not every student may be able to "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve buddhahood in this lifetime" as realized.
Moreover, there is fundamentally no such concept in the mind, making it even harder to reach this state. Although it is said thus: entering Chongxin or any other religion provides an opportunity for transformation through karma. If one can attain enlightenment in this very moment and become a Buddha in this lifetime, it is essential to eliminate the undesirable habits, tendencies, inherent dispositions, and personal characteristics of your human nature. Only then is it the true path!
How can the deficiencies in this process be improved? This is a matter of profound cultivation! Each religious tradition has its own path to attainment, yet those who truly achieve it are exceedingly few. The rest can only follow in the footsteps of the leading few, serving as assistants, and may not necessarily advance to higher levels.
Entering religion brings about virtuous causes and conditions.
Why is it that in the process of heavenly will descending to transform and fulfill causes and conditions, the later generations are unable to deeply comprehend, and what were the thoughts of the first few individuals themselves? The effectiveness for all future generations will inevitably be greatly diminished. This sequence of causes and conditions, created by the achievements of the first few, is precisely what drives the outward expansion of all religious lineages through their respective causes and conditions.
It is precisely through the merits and virtues of each individual that distinctions are made. How, then, can one address and improve upon one’s own shortcomings and deficiencies? How can one deeply cultivate and refine the flawed and insufficient aspects of one’s human nature? By elevating and evolving through the collective energy of heaven and earth, sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples in the human world, through religious faith, will find a foundation to rely upon.
Moreover, one must engage in a process of learning and growth, and how to undergo the refinement that leads to mastery? It is essential to continuously strive for excellence in one's own quality, paying even greater attention to subtlety and detail. One must also put in the effort to hone one's skills of self-cultivation, while making amends for all past deficiencies and shortcomings accumulated over lifetimes.
Human beings can thus ascend and grow.
How can we improve the shortcomings of human nature? Just as in the human world, after researching, inventing, and creating various objects, they must be polished and refined. Some even require an application of oil—this very act of "oiling" (or striving) allows them to shine brightly. Similarly, all human beings must strive to advance and better themselves.
Only by polishing this precious jade can its brilliant energy be radiated. Just as the human world undergoes refinement and transformation through remedying all deficiencies and shortcomings, so too does it depend on whether you can polish your own human character—this precious jade—or merely leave it as an ordinary stone. Otherwise, it will hardly hold any value.
This is the result of one's own lack of effort and refinement in the craft of self-cultivation, which in turn becomes the greatest obstacle. I hope that each of you can become a master sculptor of your own human qualities and a skilled polisher who brings out your inner radiance. Only by allowing all your brilliant energy to shine forth from within your own energetic being can you achieve true authenticity!
Striving for excellence embodies the spirit,  
Meticulous refinement reveals itself.
The depth of carving skill varies in degree,  
Perfecting flaws creates nature's decree.
The produce of the sentient world  
Arises from its own fundamental causes.
All is created by oneself;  
Achievement depends on the abundance of heavenly virtue.
This verse! Let it serve as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples; although it is but an analogy, within it lies hidden celestial mysteries, and within the metaphor lies further metaphor. If you contemplate it carefully, you will surely be able to discern its profound secrets. I have troubled Chong Xin for a while, and I thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
##Namo Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
The Celestial Venerable of Void Soaring descends,  
Ascending the platform to gather with all sentient beings.
Guanyin Bodhisattva comes to expound,  
With earnest admonitions and heartfelt counsel.
Good evening to all Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the revered Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva descended to compose the twenty-sixth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," using the correction of shortcomings as a broad metaphor. In truth, the allegories contained within serve as a reflection on whether one's human nature and character have been improved and elevated.
It is up to you to carve and polish yourselves until you shine. Whether you can achieve genuine efficacy and benefit is something only you know best! This holds true whether you enter the Chongxin lineage or any other religion. This is because Chongxin or other religious traditions can offer you a lifetime to rectify shortcomings, enabling those who "awaken in the present moment and attain Buddhahood in a single lifetime."
One must invest considerable and profound effort to truly benefit; otherwise, one merely follows in the footsteps of predecessors in action, learning, and growth, finding it difficult to genuinely refine, sculpt, and improve the flaws within one's own undesirable human nature—habits, inertia, disposition, and personality.
It is you who evaluate yourselves, with no need for heaven to assign scores. Whether you attain Buddhahood in this lifetime or undergo countless cycles of reincarnation, all is achieved through your own creation and learning. It is hoped that you may understand the profound dedication behind the teachings of the immortals and Buddhas today—their earnest and compassionate guidance for humanity is truly unparalleled.
It is further announced: In the coming month, some virtuous connections from the underworld within our lineage will enter the Wuji Great Dao Academy to cultivate Buddhist and Daoist merits. For those whose merits are insufficient, we earnestly hope that all virtuous students will generously contribute and offer support, assisting them in seizing this divine opportunity and favorable conditions to enter the stage of cultivation. This will benefit their future achievements for themselves and all sentient beings.
Tomorrow, another opportunity arises to break through delusions with the wisdom of Zen, guiding four hundred million sentient beings toward the great path and joining the ranks of its propagation. Yet, I wonder whether my own efforts will truly contribute to the growth and efficacy of this grand mission? Indeed, the endeavor lies within my own hands, and the benefits shall also be reaped by myself.
In two days, it will be the autumn animal release activity of our lineage in the year Yiyou. All preparations should be made early. Additionally, special care should be given to those coming and going, as well as children, hoping that everyone can wholeheartedly devote themselves to guiding and spreading the teachings. As for your own contributions, they will first establish a great virtuous affinity for the future, which is true and genuine. At that time, the immortals and Buddhas will again bestow sacred revelations, bringing all auspiciousness. Farewell for now!
## The Sacred Emperor of the Three Passes of the Limitless
Namo to all beings, originally the Tathagata;  
The great momentum is settled, with virtue and morality arrayed.
The Supreme Bodhisattva descends to bestow enlightenment,  
The principal form unfolds its sublime virtues and grace.
All processes of existence in the human world
From the perspective of sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha, it can be said that among all orientations of existence, this is yet another requirement for elevating quality, as well as a transformation of shortcomings through a process of novel creation. Such conditions, having undergone the subject's reliance on extraordinary causes and conditions, enable humanity's existence to benefit from goodness.
Moreover, regarding the quality of the main structure, it is essential to enhance its distinctive qualities based on the functions of the main body. Such conditions are rare in the present era. From the perspective of all processes of creation and invention, there exists a remarkably exceptional process, precisely because the main structure and its functions mutually complement and fulfill each other.
It is precisely because of the functional framework of the subject that we are able to engage in research, invention, and the creation of a future technological civilization abundant in material wealth. It can also be said that for the 21st century, this is only just beginning. Such conditions, when compared to the civilizations and technologies of the universe's galaxies, are indeed difficult to place on the same level.
Such conditions and circumstances make it clear that the technological civilization of the Diming star system is merely in its infancy. All research, inventions, and creations are still in an initial stage. Without a foundational framework for survival, how could endless new research and development be achieved in the future?
Quality of life must be improved.
Under such conditions, it is possible to genuinely enable sentient beings and spiritual disciples to achieve elevation: improving the quality of existence, genetic quality, spiritual quality, moral quality, and Buddha-nature quality—truly elevating and transcending these fine qualities. This is precisely the great grace bestowed by Heaven upon the Earthly Dark Star System.
For the future sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, it is crucial to embrace this truth with utmost sincerity, as it will bring them boundless benefits. Moreover, in relation to their fundamental roots, it is essential to harmonize with the technological civilization of the current era, allowing the two to complement and support each other. As for this technological civilization, when viewed from the perspective of the present age, you might perceive it as having already transcended the survival orientation of the human world.
Little do they know that when compared to the cosmic galaxies, the current technology is but a trivial skill. Looking to the future, it can be said that surpassing quality lies not merely in nurturing life, but also in elevating the fundamental essence of "eugenic quality." Only in this way can the functional role of the Earthly Nether Star be truly transformed.
This function of enhancing the quality of noble human nature, akin to a holistic process of descending causes and conditions that nurtures life, holds much to be said. It can fulfill the sublime requirements for the future human world, achieving a transcendent growth in "eugenic quality." At this very moment, you may carefully contemplate the entirety of this process.
The enhancement of superior human genes
It is about elevating the excellent qualities of human nature to a transcendent goal. In other words, it involves transcending your DNA through "eugenic quality," thereby further enhancing the quality of RNA. Within the framework of the subject's karma, this allows the divine will of Heaven to guide all beings in the world toward a refined and virtuous quality.
Otherwise, how could there be the functional benefit of mutual complementarity and mutual accomplishment? From the perspective of the sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, those who can truly comprehend this transcendence of genetic essence and clearly understand it are exceedingly rare! Precisely because those who can meet such requirements are pitifully few, the majority find it difficult to grasp!
Under the premise that all human beings are driven by monetary gain, it is unknown that beyond the human world, there exists a cosmic celestial realm that governs the creation and dissemination of all sciences of existence. Only under such conditions can genuine functional efficacy be achieved, rather than through ordinary human thinking, which alone cannot attain clarity and understanding.
Its extraordinary functions and benefits lie in rectifying and transforming all past shortcomings and deficiencies, indiscriminately benefiting all nations and living beings across the dark stars. Moreover, regarding all the benefits for survival functions, it is precisely determined by the transformative role under technological civilization, and under exceptional conditions, it is enhanced and elevated through human intervention.
How to Transform and Elevate Humanity to a Higher State
It can be said: In the face of inadequacies and shortcomings, it is necessary to learn from the experiences and lessons of previous failures through repeated processes of trial and error. This not only enables endless research and invention but also elevates the spiritual capacity of all sentient beings and living creatures on this vast Earth, allowing the original spirits of compassionate Buddhist disciples to truly benefit. Moreover, this extraordinary cause and condition is truly immense.
It is absolutely not something you can truly comprehend at this moment! It will be the main framework for future creation, research, and invention. This is the descent of divine grace from the Heavenly Realm, further transmitted through the celestial immortals and Buddhas, who carry out the true educational mission in the mortal world. It also involves participating in and supporting the evolutionary creation of the Earthly Nether Star System in this cosmic cycle.
It is only after more than five thousand years that such a rare and profound opportunity has arisen; without the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Jade Emperor, how could this divine revelation have been made manifest! Under these circumstances, it becomes clear that all religious sects and schools, as well as all living beings across nations, are interconnected and mutually supportive in this process of application.
How can one, under such conditions, utilize the compassionate grace of Heaven to benefit oneself and all sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddhas? It is precisely what you can genuinely grasp and apply in this moment, building upon the foundation of the Chongxin lineage. By aligning with the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Realm, you can transform the roots of karma, thereby elevating the function and efficacy of this grace.
Teacher of the Heart, the Immortal Buddha, offers an early analysis.
This is to inform you in advance on how to create and grow yourselves. This process will involve many stages of learning, for the immortals and Buddhas have long taught everyone how to act and conduct themselves. Much of this is closely related to the choices you make in life—otherwise, why would it be revealed to you ahead of time?
Moreover, it is about whether you can truly benefit from the functional enhancement for your future, and whether you can genuinely gain something for yourselves. Or are the immortals and buddhas speaking of their own ways while you go about your own, without any sense of foresight or resonance? How then can you truly lead the times and fulfill the mission of aiding sentient beings in transcending their limitations?
Do not assume that the words of immortals and Buddhas are merely demonstrations or that they will never manifest as actual facts. One must understand that the flourishing development of future technology is not solely for the present generation to truly comprehend and benefit from. Rather, it serves to distinguish between those who will and will not benefit from the profound grace of great virtue.
This encompasses a multitude of aspects, precisely as the Void, the Limitless, and the Vast Heaven directly descend upon the Chongxin Sect lineage, manifesting the entire process of future technological civilization, which can genuinely elevate the function of karma. This is the benefit bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the Chongxin Sect lineage as an affirmation, all achieved through one's own diligent efforts in learning and growth.
The supreme conditions for the principal entity
How, then, can we elevate the quality of life and surpass the inherent nature of humanity? It depends on the extent of one's inner energy, which is determined by the sincerity and effort of your endeavors. This advancement in technological civilization not only benefits your present generation but also brings endless advantages to your descendants. Moreover, it fosters mutual fulfillment among the multitude of original spiritual beings and Buddha-nature disciples.
This energy form, if ignited by the vast "heart-lamp" — one lamp after another, endless in succession — holds many expectations for your future descendants. It is essential to understand that you are being transformed by the "vanguard forces" of the present era. If you cannot make greater sacrifices and contributions, how then can you create a more abundant legacy?
Throughout every minute detail of this process, the positive functions of human existence are never erased. Providing for human survival yields the benefits of good fortune and virtuous affinity. Moreover, in its fundamental role of propagating the Great Dao of Heaven, it can promote the civilization of future science and technology, guided by ethics and morality—thus not limited to scientific and technological advancement alone.
In a world devoid of ethics and morality, only technological civilization would prevail. Therefore, it is by adhering to ethics and morality that we align with the true foundational structure bestowed by Heaven. Such exceptional conditions and causes serve precisely the function of contemporary education and culture, enabling their fulfillment and widespread promotion.
The main framework is for accomplishment;  
A supreme cause and condition can be used for cultivation.
Research thrives on mutual support, with future growth blessed by heavenly virtue.
Human technology bears civilization, descending to the mundane world to illuminate the heart.
The nature is nurtured by causes and conditions,  
Enlightenment and realization of fruition are guided by virtuous grace.
This verse! May all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s children encourage one another; to mutually fulfill the great compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven is precisely to allow the virtuous grace and compassion of Heaven to interact and manifest in the mundane world. It is hoped that everyone will strive together, so that all may achieve attainment and return in this very lifetime. Thank you all for your hard work, and may all be auspicious. Apologies for disturbing the Chongxin lineage for a while!
##Namo Akashagarbha Bodhisattva
The void and causality have long since arisen,  
As virtue and karma come to multiply.
Virtue and will transform into qi, returning to the Wuji;  
Sincerity of heart achieves fulfillment, mutually accomplished together.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the revered Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," elucidating the exceptionally auspicious main framework. This serves as an early proclamation for the destined sentient beings, original spirit disciples of the Buddha, and students of the Chongxin lineage.
I wonder if the students of our lineage can truly learn and grow from the sacred teachings of the immortals and buddhas. It is indeed a step-by-step journey, each footprint solid and firm, allowing one to truly benefit oneself without future regrets or the realization of inadequacy when the time comes. Moreover, this early revelation will enable all Chongxin students to radiate their own inner energy in the future, clarifying how the process of DNA verification unfolds. How I long for this! How I eagerly await it!
## Wuji Erguan Shengdi
Namo to the Supreme Unborn,  
Manjushri descends, illuminating with light.
The Bodhisattva composed twenty-eight chapters,  
A structure perfected, more substantial and true.
The fulfillment of survival orientation
Observing the process of human survival from the perspective of the subject's unique superiority, the sentient world is oriented toward existence, manifesting actions for the future and providing abundant sources of sustenance. This condition can be clearly understood: whether a complete structure can be achieved to serve as a foundation depends on its growth through the human world as manifested in the mundane realm.
It is essential to have numerous actions complementing one another, and through the process of human survival, one can achieve fundamental elevation and transcendence. Such conditions allow for ascent and surpassing, rather than sinking downward—this is the true path! Precisely by grounding oneself in the manifestation of all processes, if the framework is flawed, genuine growth becomes difficult to attain.
It is also difficult for the human world to achieve a purpose that serves as the ultimate reliance for human existence. Therefore, with the survival structure as the primary causal basis, it provides abundant resources for the human realm and supports the functional operations of survival. There must be genuine manifestation and transcendence to clearly discern whether the survival structure is beneficial or detrimental.
The Necessity of Survival Orientation
Regarding future growth and manifestations, through the process of human endeavor, genuine transformative effects can be achieved. Within the exceptional framework of existence, it is essential to truly apply what is necessary for the survival of the world, so that it may be realized as such! This involves actions aligned with the orientation of existence, in order to attain growth and transcendence.
The quality and shortcomings of the main structure determine whether it can bear future burdens and shoulder significant responsibilities. This is demonstrated by the strengths and weaknesses of the main structure itself. In terms of survival orientation, it must be able to truly benefit all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, which is why the main structure serves as the foundation.
Furthermore, when considering the legacy left for future generations or the overall well-being of the global community, there exists an integrated set of inherent conditions that support survival and foster growth. From the perspective of survival structures, it is essential to clarify the main framework to determine whether the future will genuinely benefit from a humane world or merely serve individual interests.
This is the true way of benefiting all beings through the human world, which must rely on the understanding of survival dependencies and how the "orientation" process functions. Since the fundamental structure of existence is inherent, it also endows human survival and enjoyment with comfort, convenience, and universality, thereby extending these blessings throughout the human realm.
Sentient beings with affection benefit.
This superior framework for existence can bring true benefits to sentient beings. If the framework is flawed, it must be improved or replaced. Through the growth effect of the framework's inherent quality, it enables the original spirits and Buddha-children among sentient beings to ascend and transcend, rather than merely sinking into the human realm. Furthermore, one must clearly understand the direction and actions required for the function of existence.
It is precisely the foundation upon which the structure of existence can be built, requiring abundant support and a rich source of sustenance for growth. In the world of sentient beings, it serves to elevate and enhance all human life across the vast universe. This is the manifestation of divine virtue—compassion, universal love, non-action, purity, and empathy—extending into the human world.
This work, as a unified entity descending to transform, is founded upon fairness and selflessness, serving as the basis for the structure of existence. It systematically leverages the support provided by this structure, enabling the system of existence—for all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples—to achieve the demands of comfort, convenience, and universality. Moreover, it strives for continuous refinement, meticulousness, and the subtle elevation of existence.
To truly meet the requirements of perfection, one must possess the functions of "research, invention, and creation" to promote and disseminate their transformative effects. The fundamental demand of Heaven is to achieve comfort, convenience, and universality in existence. This should be extended to every sentient being and original spirit Buddha-child across the vast universe, allowing all to benefit, rather than only a select few.
The grace of Heaven bestows benefits upon all humanity and sentient beings.
Such conditions are by no means the fundamental requirements of Heaven. For all functions, they must be able to promote comfort, convenience, and universality—only then can they be considered authentic! Otherwise, how could they truly serve the great world with justice and equality? This is the manifestation of Heaven's compassion, empathy, universal love, purity, and non-interference.
In the vast universe, there will inevitably be the perfect realization of comfort, convenience, and universality in the function of propagation and transformation. How, then, can this fairness and equality be bestowed? Sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples may, through careful contemplation, come to understand that existence—through "research, invention, and creation"—is precisely the means by which universality, convenience, and comfort are brought down to the mundane world.
It is never a scenario of solitary appreciation or personal enjoyment. In response to the merciful workings of Heaven, which align with the fundamental spirit of the five major religions, it is essential for the orientation of life to genuinely achieve: compassion, universal love, empathy, purity, and the manifestation of non-action in the human world. What do you say? This is precisely the fulfillment of the primary causes and conditions!
Furthermore, for there to be genuine elevation amidst the dependencies of existence, the manifestations within the context of today's technological civilization will inevitably become increasingly abundant, more convenient, widespread, and comfortable. You are now situated within such circumstances to reap the benefits, thereby achieving the convenience, prevalence, and comfort that lead to fulfillment. This offers you greater opportunities and auspicious conditions aligned with the workings of heaven.
The current era of spatiotemporal growth transcends all bounds.
If, through the circumstances of time and space, one can genuinely elevate the three aspects of "body, mind, and spirit," and if this can be made convenient, comfortable, and accessible to all in the present moment, then the primary conditions and requirements for the fulfillment of universal transformation will be met. Moreover, this applies equally to all races and nations across the vast world.
Regardless of any religious sect or lineage, all are treated with impartiality and fairness, receiving the grace and compassion bestowed by Heaven. The purpose of such conditions is to hope that through your efforts in the human world, within the short span of less than a hundred years, you may "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime." For this, numerous divine revelations must be manifested.
For humanity to mature in this world, there must be a process of learning and personal experience, which in the future will become deeply ingrained and unforgettable. This is how one benefits from learning and growth. Whether the outcomes are positive or negative, they are the karmic consequences one has chosen and must bear, ultimately leading to the benefits gained through firsthand experience.
It is precisely by receiving and benefiting from the true blessings bestowed by Heaven, and drawing from Heaven's abundant resources, that all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the vast world can undergo a process of "personal experience" in the present world. This becomes a "profoundly memorable" lesson, one that is undeniably authentic and personally lived.
The Elevation of Existence for Sentient Beings
To achieve growth for oneself, whether through positive accomplishments or adversities endured, one must truly integrate and accumulate experiences from this process. This allows for genuine personal experience in the present or future, leading to a complete and renewed journey of growth, which is manifested through the vast world as its stage.
In the state where positive and negative are not distinguished, each individual is thus. Moreover, the profound and unforgettable fulfillment brought by the divine through such firsthand experiences serves as a process of growth and learning for all human beings. When faced with trials and challenges once again in the future, they will be equipped with virtuous ways to respond.
For the sentient beings of humanity, who can use the "square and upright" material world to temper the "perfect and complete" spiritual self, how then can you achieve true elevation through facing the opposite? This is the compassionate grace of the Heavenly Realm, bestowed upon the sentient original spirits and Buddha's children as a trial of growth through adversity. Can you comprehend it? It is not easy!
If you find yourselves in such a situation, how would you feel? To truly comprehend the process of Heaven's trials is to achieve perfection through learning, growth, and transformation. You may ask: What are your thoughts on the compassionate grace of Heaven? It is precisely for the growth and benefit of all living beings.
The fundamental cause of the subject's excellence lies in the harmonious mutual affinity of its perfectly formed structure.
Building a foundation through moral education,  
Engraving new realizations deep in the heart.
Technological growth brings widespread blessings, offering comfort and convenience to all.
All sentient beings, children of Buddha,  
Shall in one lifetime achieve and be welcomed into the Buddha's pure land.
This verse! For all original spirit Buddhas in the sentient world, who mutually fulfill and radiate energy downward, how should one comprehend the reverse-side achievements of the Heavenly Realm? In truth, it is precisely the fundamental driving force that genuinely benefits everyone in the future, and is indeed bestowing upon all great "immunity." Do you say: is this so or not?
##Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
The Heavenly Venerable of the Law of Emptiness and Principle  
Descends to bestow sincerity and purity upon the heart of reverence.
The five periods of vast transformation lay the foundation,  
Guiding the Buddha's children back to their original purity.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the revered Manjushri Bodhisattva has descended to compose the twenty-eighth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," completing and transcending the supreme framework of the main theme. This is achieved through the mutual fulfillment of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds across the vast universe, with even opposition contributing to this fulfillment.
For all four hundred million disciples of the Buddha and the ninety-two original souls, to truly undergo the next experience of rebirth, growth, and learning—without the personal trials of suffering, how could you attain genuine experience? Through your own deeply felt, unforgettable experiences, will you feel resentment or give rise to hatred?
How can one best understand one's own state of mind? This is the reverse achievement bestowed by Heaven. For those lacking experience, it is a process of training and tempering. One must clearly recognize Heaven's profound care and intention, which is to enable you to "awaken in the present moment and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime," thereby returning to your true nature. Reflect deeply on this, and you will receive boundless benefits. Moreover, it becomes the best training process for facing future trials and tribulations. Ha! Ha! May you be blessed!
## Bodhisattva of the Western Principle Sutra
Namo, may the wisdom of all beings blossom; Samantabhadra Bodhisattva descends and arrives.
The Great Way shines in the twenty-ninth chapter,  
Spreading virtue throughout the world, morality is upheld.
The Benefits of Spreading Earth's Technology
Observing the structure of existence from the perspective of humanity's unique consciousness, it is essential to propagate and transform the universe in order to disseminate the compassion and virtuous grace of the supreme heavens. In this vast world, situated within the workings of the Earth's star system, during ancient times when knowledge was not yet widespread, people often encountered numerous obstacles that were difficult to comprehend.
After nearly two thousand years of time, it has become known that within the vast universe, beyond the Middle Kingdom, there exist many other expansive realms teeming with original spirits and Buddha-nature beings, as well as numerous other nations. From the perspective of these nations, it is also unclear that beyond their own borders, there remain many ancient civilizations and cultural heritages.
By establishing a foundation based on the virtuous grace of Heaven, one can clearly recognize the exceptional conditions that sustain the existence of sentient beings. Through all stages of the evolution of Earth and the celestial systems, up to the present era, all these conditions converge to initiate creation. It is through the endeavors of humanity—creation, research, and development—that the world of compassion is further benefited and enriched.
It enables innovation and development, offering invaluable benefits to the countless original spirits and Buddha-children in the human world. This carries an indelible efficacy and an enduring cultural legacy, accumulating the blessings of predecessors to bestow favorable blessings upon future generations. This embodies the principle of "planting trees for the shade of posterity."
Human beings possess the capacity for research and invention.
One must understand that such conditions entail comprehending how the human world, through the arduous footsteps of all predecessors, has established patterns to be followed thereafter. By dissolving one’s own ignorance and obstacles, one can further accumulate knowledge and foster growth. This process also involves the capacity for learning and renewal, as well as elevating oneself by receiving and embodying the compassionate grace bestowed by heaven.
In the diverse experiences and growth of humanity, it is essential to understand clearly: whether we can create greater blessings for future generations is what truly matters! This also plays a role in the vast transformation of heaven and earth, where experiences are recreated for elevation. Moreover, the conditions for the inheritance of education and culture, in relation to all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, are all aligned in this way!
There must be conditions for propagation and transformation; otherwise, what conditions would enable the accumulation of life experiences to be passed down to future generations? Precisely by transforming all the learning and growth of our predecessors into accumulated knowledge and experience, we can provide everyone with reference points for handling future events, thereby simplifying their resolution.
It is precisely the ignorance and obstacles encountered by our predecessors that, through the experience of reconstruction and elevation, allow us to understand the functional conditions of such capabilities. How should we carry out their propagation and transformation? How should we accumulate and pass on this educational heritage? Moreover, in the process of imparting knowledge and fostering growth and learning, we can extend these exceptional conditions to benefit the entire universe.
How to Eliminate All Obstacles to Existence
This can serve as a benefit and an educational and cultural function. In the process of your experiences, it is precisely what can be utilized to manifest its effects in the current era. It must traverse the entire planetary system, where all nations and races can mutually benefit from its function. Moreover, the present era is precisely a new situation of creation and invention.
The accumulation of all life experiences in the human world, if applied through innovative thinking to manifest new understanding, can easily lead to genuine elevation and transcendence. Whether this condition of cause and effect can benefit the vast multitude of original spirit Buddha-disciples? Indeed, each person’s experience will differ, yet relatively, it is certain to foster virtuous growth and benefit!
Regarding the diligent efforts of all our predecessors, how can future generations clearly understand the causes and effects, and apply them appropriately today? It is important for everyone to recognize that each individual’s embodiment and application of knowledge differ. Although the experiences of predecessors can provide conditions for responding to future situations, not everyone will necessarily respond or grow in the same way.
It is essential to understand that the function and effect of propagation and transformation lie in elevating past experiences into a force for renewal. Ponder carefully: Is everything indeed this way? Moreover, in the present and for future generations, can people truly grasp the meaning of the saying, "Ancestors plant trees, descendants enjoy the shade"? This reflects mutual support and synergy, which in turn yields the efficacy of growth through propagation and education.
All Courses of Honghua Education
It is to manifest all technological civilizations in the current era. Throughout the 21st century, technological civilization will undergo genuine enhancement and benefit, and how can such beneficial conditions further extend their transformative function, enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children of this era to ascend, grow, and transcend.
Regardless of where one resides in the vast universe, all can benefit. It is now possible to understand that, through the "internet" connecting the Earth and its celestial systems in the current era, everyone can easily comprehend all events occurring within this world with thorough and accurate clarity.
It is precisely through all the transmission functions of telecommunication that knowledge is made accessible for the benefit of all, delivering the effects transmitted by the internet to humanity. This establishes even greater functional benefits, which are then disseminated via the "internet" and presented through video transmission capabilities. This process enables the advantages of text transmission and voice broadcasting to be realized.
Future Technology Physical Transmission
In the future, the utility of "physical transmission functionality" will inevitably emerge. At present, this capability is only in its initial stages of creation. It is essential to understand that within the next century, this technology will undergo practical verification through "relocation and transformation" or "transformation and relocation," achievements that will be easily attainable for all of you.
There is no need to rely on the means of transportation of the present era, yet how can the true beneficial effects for all you original spiritual Buddhas in the vast world be disseminated throughout this great cosmos? It is merely a matter of the quantity of energy, which can enable you to achieve even more extraordinary transcendence.
In future times and spaces, human beings will not merely survive in a single region. It is essential to understand that the functions of this energy body, bestowed upon oneself through creation and invention, will further enable "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of practice." With a greater energy body, one can utilize such conditions for growth to enhance all responsive and transformative capabilities.
Without distinguishing among all realms and the multitude of Buddha's disciples, through this kind of transformative function for elevation, when given the necessity for growth with the appropriate conditions, one will benefit one's own energy body and, in the process of self-illumination, attain certain states and levels. However, it remains uncertain whether you all, at this very moment, possess the completeness of the energy body or not.
Human beings are endowed with the capacity for virtuous existence.
It is precisely by genuinely removing the obstacles of the past that this arises. Due to such conditions, you will truly witness the world of light and no longer need to look up to the heavens for blessings. This is achieved through everyone’s efforts to fully promote it in the human world, and by harnessing all the fundamental functions of propagation—how can this elevate you to transcendence!
By focusing on self-improvement in the present moment, one receives the blessings bestowed by Heaven. Through the human world, one ascends level by level and grows from one realm to another. This is the true benefit for you all, yet it is not limited to these alone. There are also many transformative functions that humanity finds difficult to comprehend.
In dealing with all nations and races of the vast world, without distinction among all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, the approach is always: equal regard, equal treatment, and equal guidance. Through the function and efficacy of impartiality and equality, and in the promotion of these teachings to all, there is a necessity for genuine growth, providing benefits for the growth of humanity.
Survival benefits are human-made creations.
For you to truly benefit from this, it is essential to possess a complete awareness of your own energy body. This is a rare opportunity bestowed upon you by heaven. If you hold yourself in disregard, treating your own existence as optional, then what use is it, no matter how abundantly the heavens bestow their resources upon you?
All of this is willingly undertaken for growth and benefit, precisely: one gives, one receives, one gains, and one achieves. Only through the compassionate descent of Heaven's grace can there be genuine efficacy and benefit. Thus, it is truly promoted throughout the universe, and it can bring real benefit to you all. This is not merely about repeated cycles within the human realm alone.
In this world, such conditions often arise, causing beings to cycle repeatedly through reincarnation. Do any of you desire this? None do! It is precisely because of favorable celestial opportunities and virtuous affinities that, if not properly grasped, how could such opportunities and affinities manifest again in the next life? For all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples across the vast universe, all share in bearing the unfolding of heaven and earth.
The conditions for survival are contingent upon virtue.
It is through the grace of Heaven that blessings are bestowed and received, serving as a profound transformative function for you. This leads to learning and growth throughout the vast world, inevitably bringing many impacts in this lifetime of yours. Throughout this process, it grants you renewal and elevation, rather than allowing repeated cycles of downfall in samsara.
These two can be chosen by oneself and fully realized in the present era, thereby truly benefiting both you and your future generations. It is precisely by sowing seeds now that descendants will reap the harvest—this follows the principle of "ancestors planting the seeds, descendants gathering the fruits." With what mindset do you approach this? Can you enhance your capacity for response and transformation?
In this process, you will inevitably experience hardship in learning, growth, sacrifice, and dedication in the present moment. Such conditions and circumstances, through enduring the toil of this lifetime, can offer you the blessing of roaming freely in the heavenly realms for countless generations to come. Do you understand where the key to this lies? You must carefully contemplate the mysteries within for yourself.
The principal body, endowed with sublime and virtuous causes and conditions,  
Fully constructed and perfected, reveals the true reality.
Transforming the vast cosmos of heaven and earth,  
All sentient beings who follow the Buddha's path unite in perfect harmony.
All the toil endured throughout the journey,  
A lifetime of growth bestowed by heaven's virtue.
Through enduring hardship to forge a new beginning, the world reaps abundant harvests for generations to come.
This verse is shared with all of you and sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddhas, as mutual encouragement: it is about manifesting the virtuous grace of Heaven in the mundane world. However, it still requires everyone’s genuine efforts in this human realm to truly present it—only then is it authentic! Thank you all for your hard work and for sparing some time with Chongxin. May all be auspicious. Farewell, everyone!
##Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva
Boundless, selfless, truly effortless;  
The Three-Pass Sage Emperor initiates the world's assembly.
Revering the heart, the cause and condition are truly sublime;  
Spreading transformation across the universe, virtue and grace converge.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, Namo Samantabhadra Bodhisattva has descended to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," elucidating the role of universal transformation within the transmission of heavenly truths. Within this, there are many profound meanings. Do you understand the revelation of such celestial mysteries?
The human world is truly precious. Regarding the extraordinary works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," the first-hand materials easily reveal the celestial secrets manifested in the vast universe, showing how profoundly blessed you are. Whether or not you strive with your own efforts can determine all future causes and conditions, enabling you to achieve growth and benefit!
##Westward Scripture-Propagating Bodhisattva
Namo, from sentient beings to the unborn,  
Through the causes and conditions of emptiness, they descend and manifest.
The causes of Bodhisattvas in Tibetan Buddhism—  
All are elevated, for the light is within reach.
Human beings live in the light.
From the perspective of human actions in the world, the extraordinary causes and conditions for survival can be elevated. Through spreading teachings among humanity for growth, the realm of sentient beings directs the orientation of survival toward the functional role of life. This genuinely achieves the upward enhancement of nurturing existence, thereby attaining true comfort, convenience, and universality.
Through the efficacy of all actions, the attainment of ultimate light can be anticipated, which is precisely akin to the true nature of reality. It can serve as the foundation for all beings and myriad things in the vast world, and for all survival orientations within the human realm, it will bring forth numerous functions and effects. This achieves the conditions for genuine realization, determined by the technological civilization created by humanity.
In the realm of human existence, there exists a distinction between "light and darkness." All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas aspire to achieve the world of light. By orienting their survival towards the elevation of light, they can truly benefit all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. This is essential for the human world.
The distinction arises from the contrast between "light and darkness," which must genuinely contribute to the survival orientation with profound transformative effects. This is the primary karmic essence sought by sentient beings and original spiritual Buddha-children. If human existence lacks light, it signifies darkness, shrouded in a murky atmosphere, and cannot manifest the world shaped by illumination.
The Distinction Crafted by Light and Darkness
This is the predicament faced by sentient beings and original spirit Buddha disciples in their pursuit of survival, where they cannot truly benefit. It precisely deviates from the expectations of light. If the human world possessed only light without the alternation of darkness, it would be impossible to establish a cessation in the pursuit of survival. For humanity and all living beings, this is certainly not a favorable phenomenon!
This would inflict considerable harm upon all sentient beings and primordial spirit disciples of Buddha, and it would be difficult to restore the radiant virtues and blessings that serve as their refuge. For light is precisely what sentient beings and primordial spirits seek as essential for survival, and it is also the visible path to achieving enlightenment. In this orientation toward existence, it offers abundant convenience and universality.
Evolution is also driven by the pursuit of comfort, which can benefit all sentient beings. It is grounded in the reliance on survival comfort, convenience, and accessibility, while also analyzing the definition of "light": it must involve the creation of light, and further, the absence of light serves to highlight its presence. The two complement each other, working together to promote the well-being and comfort of sentient beings in their existence.
In the human world, it is fundamentally impossible to escape the threshold of survival in darkness, for darkness represents the stillness of all things and serves as the essential foundation for all rest. In the human realm, the alternation between survival and rest allows for the cultivation of energy and vitality, enabling such conditions to genuinely provide a state of true stillness for one's own existential orientation.
Rest is for the sake of walking a longer road.
Furthermore, in the dependence of actions on the conditions for survival, they can complement and reinforce each other, rather than having only light without darkness, which represents a state of stillness. As the ancient saying goes among human beings, "Rest is for the purpose of walking a longer road." In the human world, it is through stillness and rest that one can conserve energy and build strength, preparing to handle all future affairs, thereby enhancing the capacity for survival and ensuring a long-lasting existence.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, when they truly achieve the next step of ascension, will genuinely benefit from the environment and space, which is indeed quite authentic. Moreover, such an environment and space are essential for human survival, and in all aspects of existence, they further harmonize the interplay between "light and darkness."
For sentient beings and spiritual disciples, as well as all living creatures, the alternation of activity and rest is a true and inherent nature. All functions are sustained by the bright world of day and also by the dark world of rest and stillness at night. Within this cycle of life and rest, humanity finds a functional mechanism for adaptation, which serves as a practical means for survival and orientation.
In the human world, growth sometimes comes only from the pursuit of light. It must be understood that the world of human affairs operates amid one's own inadequacies and shortcomings. When there is action to nourish life, there must also be rest and stillness in all activities, so that they may complement each other and achieve a perfect balance. Only then can the experience of growth bring true elevation and benefit.
In this world, there exists both light and darkness.
From the perspective of other star systems, the world of light does not distinguish between brightness and darkness. Such conditions exist only within the spatial realm of the Earthly Dark Star, where all moments of time and karma are calculated and recorded as a chronicle of growth. For human beings, in all actions of existence, it is precisely the interplay and differentiation between "light and darkness" that shapes the life-nurturing movements of their survival orientation.
In the realm of sentient beings, if there were no distinction between the "light and darkness" of time and space, it could be said that the foundation for "ascension and transcendence" has long been present. However, there is a foreseeable process that must be cultivated and elevated through human effort, in order to attain a genuine foundational future for one's own existential orientation.
If this foundational premise for the future cannot clearly yield benefits for future generations, how can it serve as a basis for survival? It must contribute to the well-being of descendants, yet if confined within expected demands, it will fail to create the space for genuine growth and benefit in the process of development.
Furthermore, to the original spirits and Buddha-children among sentient beings, if there is to be genuine comfort, convenience, and universality, and if the human world can truly foster growth and benefit for the welfare of future sentient beings, it is essential to sow the seeds of transformation in the present era. This will lead to plans that offer space for benefit and a foundation for the future, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.
The fundamental basis of human existence is to nourish life.
In addressing this humanitarian world, it serves the function of inheriting the past and ushering in the future. Moreover, for all actions that nurture life and sustain existence, it is essential to achieve growth with utmost authenticity, enabling a clear understanding of what future technological civilization entails. It is therefore necessary to first foster growth in the present, so as to truly benefit in the future. This condition is profoundly grounded in reality.
Moreover, in the actions that nurture human existence, it will be very truthful and practical for both the present and the future, achieving clarity and predictability, as well as fulfillment. By distinguishing between ascent and descent, there will be genuine opportunities for growth. With the early manifestation of technological civilization, all concepts of technological advancement will emerge.
It is also because humanity finds itself in the current era, where technological civilization has only just begun. All creation and invention will inevitably align with the needs of this time, and the "research, invention, and creation" of the future will serve as profound blessings for future generations, substantially enriching and fostering their well-being.
The Divine, in elevating and perfecting such causes and conditions, makes no distinction among all the nations and religious lineages of the Earthly Nether Star System. All are regarded as: one in essence, one in purity, one in universal love, one in compassion, one in empathy, and one in non-action. Moreover, no distinction is made in the perfection granted to all religions.
Religion fundamentally encourages people to do good.
It is through the complementary integration of religious education and culture that moral concepts are established, deeply instilled in future generations as a practical curriculum of enlightenment. This "deep cultivation" means that from early childhood, individuals are nurtured through such educational programs, enabling them, as they mature, to master all principles of virtuous conduct.
It is through the constraints established by the causal conditions of moral regulation that, for future generations, many obstacles of ignorance can be resolved and dissolved. Precisely by taking light as the foundation, one can clearly understand how "light against darkness" achieves fulfillment, which is a mutually complementary relationship. Similarly, "darkness against light" is also mutually complementary, thereby benefiting humanity.
Because in the human world, if there were only light without darkness, it would require a long passage of time in the future to witness the karma forged by the world of light. The human realm is precisely situated as an integration of yin and yang, right and wrong, ○ and ×, correct and incorrect, good and evil, Buddha and demon—a dual nature with two sides in function and effect.
The alternation of light and darkness manifests in the human world.
In the world of sentient beings, the myriad original spiritual Buddhas and disciples find it fundamentally difficult to break free from such limitations and obstacles, which mutually constrain and confine them. Even in the actions of nurturing life, they complement one another within the human realm. What is perfected in the world of light thus finds its fulfillment in the benefits, rest, and stillness of darkness.
You say: If there were only the illumination of the bright world, without the arrival of night and darkness, how could the passage of time in human life be measured and calculated? This is the great grace bestowed by Heaven upon the human world, which truly benefits all. At the same time, it accounts for the various different times and spaces created, thereby allowing the progression and growth of the years.
Can sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas truly comprehend whether the Heavenly Realm, for all the myriad original spirit Buddhas of the Earthly Dark Star System, has achieved genuine ascension and transcendence, perfection and return? Reflect deeply, and all processes will become clear! Whether one can truly wander freely upon the Earthly Dark Star or transcend it to attain accomplishment—all depends entirely on oneself.
Created through extraordinary causes and conditions, the main structure is infinitely excellent.
Understanding the wondrous dissemination across the universe,  
Virtue's grace descends, nurturing wisdom sublime.
The cause and condition have been revealed for understanding,  
The great path's radiance is now fully illuminated.
The distinction between light and dark is but a fine line, yet through unified comprehension, the radiance of heavenly virtue shines forth.
This verse! Is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children to encourage one another; to make the anticipated radiance of Heaven truly complementary and mutually supportive. For in all processes of survival and direction, none can stand alone. If there were only the "light" of day without the rest of "darkness" at night, human beings and all living creatures would be in perpetual motion without cease.
This is the function of the sentient world within the "Fundamental Principle of the Great Dao." It is hoped that all processes of realization can be fully understood, precisely by elevating "wisdom" in response to the compassionate manifestations of Heaven, achieving fulfillment in the present and in the future. Thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious. We have troubled Chongxin for a while. Until we meet again, everyone!
##Homage to the Venerable Ananda Bodhisattva
By Imperial Decree, the Two Guan Emperors of Chongxin  
Heaven bestows this destined grace in its virtuous season.
Promoting transformation to bring forth benefits,  
Sentient beings and Buddha's children come to take refuge.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, as well as members of the Wuji Great Dao Academy and the Spiritual Cultivation Academy, good evening! Today, Namo Akashagarbha Bodhisattva has descended to compose the thirtieth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao." This chapter elucidates the hopeful prospects for the illumination of the human world, and further clarifies how, within the understanding of light's function, one may remedy the cessation brought about by the darkness of night.
It is precisely the fulfillment of the next action that completes it. The world of sentient beings is one of mutual interaction. If one can truly transcend this obstacle, can you understand where the key lies? Those who comprehend this are indeed the truly wise. If one cannot understand, it is only due to the limitations of mutual karma, and coming into this world is merely a cycle of repeated rebirth!
Disciples: Our lineage bestows upon all divine and human beings the mutual fulfillment of new missions and new sacred sites. It also guides over four hundred and two million brothers and sisters to return. This is achieved through the combined efforts of human actions and the guidance of immortals and buddhas, creating a complementary function and benefit.
You must strive diligently. If we rely solely on the guidance of immortals and buddhas, and you are unable to support and complement one another, there will only be a few dozen at present. Everything depends on us; all efforts will bring rewards and transformation.
## Western Expounding the Way Bodhisattva
Homage to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, whose great path shines with boundless virtue and light.
Expanding humanistic principles across the world,  
Regulations and rituals shall achieve greatness.
Rituals and Regulations for the Propagation of Teachings
Through its widespread influence across the universe, this function serves to observe how it operates: it enables all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the world of consciousness to attain a sublime framework of causal conditions. Moreover, by means of its promising and luminous efficacy, it achieves the practical implementation of rules and rituals. This is essential for genuinely propagating transformation within the human world.
In the human world, if it is difficult to provide the true conditions for widespread transformation, how can we achieve virtue, grace, and blessings for all sentient beings! For humanity, it is precisely through the inheritance of education and culture, particularly regarding rules and rituals, that we can implement these principles in a tangible and substantial manner. This is the key to the regeneration and elevation of all civilizations and technologies.
It also lies in the fact that, from the First Kalpa or the Second Kalpa up to the present Third Kalpa, countless sentient beings have yearned for a lifetime in which they could achieve transcendence. This condition of karma requires that in one lifetime, one must be able to attain a state of return and transcend the root of karma, thereby benefiting oneself.
A bright future is anticipated under exceptionally favorable conditions.
It is essential to establish regulations for technological civilization within all frameworks. Such conditions can be achieved through the creation and validation within the human world, thereby enabling future generations to implement these regulations in an orderly manner. The establishment of regulations must both benefit and constrain the human world.
The establishment of regulations in the human world should be based on adherence to the conditions set by the regulators themselves. This is because governance and restraint in the human world largely rely on management and regulation as the fundamental causes for all governance and implementation. Without the enforcement of regulations, effective management and restraint would be impossible.
Once such management regulations are established, there will inevitably be individuals who overstep the boundaries of various rules. For those who transgress, there must be a system that consolidates all requirements, implemented through collective constraints. By integrating all management systems, this binding mechanism can be established, enabling everyone to abide by it collectively.
When encountering various unexpected events and situations, one must be able to easily understand how to exercise restraint and management in accordance with the right path. This is achieved by following the established principles of various religions or organizations, which serve as guidelines for all to abide by. Moreover, these principles must not be overstepped, to avoid causing disorder and making it difficult for people to follow them.
All systems of governance for humanity
This system of management and restraint serves as the foundation upon which various religions establish their rules and regulations, providing guidance for future generations to follow. From a Buddhist perspective, it further embodies the implementation of "precepts and discipline," outlining how they should be observed and establishing rules and systems for all sentient beings.
Only then can it benefit both oneself in the present and future generations, allowing all to follow it together, and also benefit various religious sects, enabling them to adhere to it collectively—this is the true path. If one cannot abide by and rely upon all the principles and actions of the great cosmos, how then can various systems be established, with orderly rules and regulations?
Regarding the supporting role of future management systems, this is an inevitability. It also provides a framework and regulations for everyone to collectively adhere to, enabling a small group to achieve the cohesion of a larger group, which is a manifestation of truthfulness. Furthermore, for the establishment of such frameworks and regulations, it is essential that everyone jointly upholds the discipline as the core principle.
Thus, it becomes clear that the rules and precepts of Buddhism are faithfully transmitted to the monastic community of later generations. These regulations and systems, established to inspire trust among all sentient beings, are widely recognized and implemented by the outside world. They provide favorable conditions for wholesome causes and conditions, enabling continuous growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Precepts of Various Religious Traditions
Thus, its "precepts" can rival those of all religious sects, which must also lead followers of other faiths toward virtuous discipline. How to truly adhere to these precepts and establish the foundations for their practice is an achievement in management systems. It further fosters an educational culture where superiors exemplify and propagate these principles, and subordinates follow and uphold them.
Only by being able to provide for future generations can there be a genuine adherence to the principles and guidelines, which in terms of functional benefits, further establishes a foundational project for the overall propagation and transformation. If detailed rituals and norms can be meticulously formulated—not only devised by oneself but also practiced by oneself and collectively followed by all—can external recognition and affirmation be earned.
If even such fundamental rituals and systems cannot be upheld, how can we speak of their genuine implementation and efficacy! Not only will it become even more difficult for future generations to truly emulate these practices from above to below, but it will also be impossible to establish these ritual functions as a guiding principle for a large community, a nation, or a state.
The human society is a collective entity where the actions of superiors are emulated by inferiors, and all abide by common norms. Without a well-established system of etiquette and institutions, it is impossible to gain recognition and affirmation from the outside world. This inevitably gives rise to numerous obstacles that are difficult to guide, and it becomes challenging to foster genuine cohesion for mutual fulfillment. Moreover, these are the functions and actions that a leadership unit should implement, as well as the matters that require attention.
Only through ritual and regulation can there be uniformity and order.
Thus, with the collective as its foundation, different levels within the organization correspond to distinct rituals and etiquettes. Consequently, leaders at each level must take responsibility for all regulations and rituals within their respective domains, as this is the correct path. Therefore, it is essential to understand that these rituals and regulations embody the functions of discipline and rules.
Its true function should be one where superiors lead and inferiors follow, establishing detailed rules and supporting measures for this "comprehensive implementation." This inevitably requires numerous well-developed systems and, after repeated applications, if it is found to be unsuitable or difficult to implement, it becomes necessary to re-evaluate the role and burden carried by the rituals and systems themselves.
Therefore, ceremonial functions serve as the finest external representation of a group. Through the rituals established by its institutional framework, one can observe how a group or religious organization earns recognition and affirmation from the outside world. To join its ranks, it is essential to follow the established rules and ceremonies faithfully, with leaders setting examples for followers to emulate.
It is also a mutual responsibility among the various hierarchical levels themselves, as well as a complementary and collaborative effort in the implementation of rituals and systems. Moreover, for all groups that already possess such established systems and regulations, those that are applicable will inevitably be able to integrate harmoniously with the functions performed within their own groups. This is an effect akin to "Dong Shi imitating the frown"—a blind imitation that misses the essence.
Human institutions and ant institutions are one and the same.
In the human world, it is precisely so: without such a system to establish discipline and implement order, no matter how promising the light may appear, it would be like a heap of loose sand. It is essential to understand that the human world, much like the world of ants, is governed by such rituals and principles, which serve as the favorable conditions for upward growth and goodness.
You may carefully observe the world of humanity to understand how the etiquette of the ant world is collectively followed by all. Their mutual support and complementary roles demonstrate the power of unity, while also establishing an orderly system of rituals and institutions—a function of leaders setting examples for followers to emulate.
It is through the public's faith in religion that its teachings can be spread across the entire world, and such rituals and systems can be established and observed. For a brighter future, whether all will abide by them together or there will be those who transgress, it is the precepts and regulations that form the foundation of all practices within this ceremonial framework.
All systems and regulations established for your implementation and planning are necessarily derived from the precepts of the past, formulated based on their original frameworks, so that all may abide by them collectively. If any minor inadequacies are found, they may be corrected and refined after the next implementation, thereby allowing for growth. This process can illuminate the world through propagation and transformation, serving as guidance and fulfillment.
The detailed rules are implemented to delineate distinctions,  
with each regulation and ritual assigned its proper place.
The Guidelines for Propagation serve as the framework for governance,  
guiding all future beings to follow in accordance.
Fortunate conditions are divided into two sides; technological civilization creates a heavenly perfection.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
As all sentient beings return to the heavens in glory.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement: to establish a true system and regulations for future educational and guiding courses, so that the rituals may be carried out truthfully, which is also the practice of the righteous path! Well, thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Having disturbed the Chongxin lineage for some time, we shall meet again!
##Nanping Daoji Ancient Buddha
The Western World bestows a revered heart,  
As the Bodhisattva of the Principle Sutra ascends the platform to welcome.
The radiance of the Great Dao bestows its virtue and grace,  
Enlightening all sentient beings across the world.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the original Buddha Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao." Through the process of elucidating a set of rules and rituals, it is analyzed within the "Transmission of Heavenly Truths," while also expressing hopes for the Chongxin lineage to truly establish precepts and systems.
Guiding Sentient Beings Toward the Future: For the over 420 million primordial spirit disciples of the Buddha, returning to and spreading the teachings is an indispensable condition in the curriculum of education and culture. If a complete system of rituals and regulations cannot be truly established, numerous obstacles will arise. Observe carefully the rituals within our sect—it remains difficult to achieve a fully structured system.
Even within this, there must be many areas in need of improvement. You may carefully observe from various rituals, and then everything will become clear. Moreover, since the immortals and buddhas observe from above, they have many criticisms regarding your rituals. Therefore, do not assume that your rituals are already quite perfect. Little do you know, such shortcomings must be improved!
Talent can become even more perfect and dignified, and can also earn recognition and admiration from the outside world. Tomorrow is Saturday again, a time when Zen insights dispel delusions. For those of you with many uncertainties and difficult-to-understand questions, you may inquire of the immortals and Buddhas. If you lack this inward-focused learning, merely thinking that what the immortals and Buddhas say is difficult to achieve in the human world, then what can be done?
It is essential to understand that true and earnest practice means that only by confronting numerous questions can one resolve ignorance and contradictions, thereby genuinely achieving growth, elevation, and transcendence. Do you comprehend? Good! Everything depends on oneself; success or failure lies entirely in one's own hands. I appreciate your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
## Western Daoyan Bodhisattva
Homage to the supreme multitude of Tathagatas,  
Maitreya descends to the mortal realm, revered in the heart's altar.
The Bodhisattva accomplishes the work of teaching and transforming,  
As the will of Heaven, in its virtue, arranges from above.
The vast cosmos is endowed with the great virtue and grace of Heaven.
When observing the function of all superior structures, it is essential to truly implement the propagation and transformation of the Great Dao. In this process, there will inevitably be numerous Dao affairs and missions to rely upon. Such conditions, in turn, provide those capable of carrying them out with a genuine foundation for spreading virtue and grace. Furthermore, after establishing regulations and rituals, they can be put into practice through the virtuous will of Heaven.
It is essential to take the human world as the foundational cause and condition for its integrated subject, and to truly propagate and expand this function. This is the primary cause, condition, and functional utility of Heaven. Moreover, through such causal conditions, it integrates with the future technological civilization, providing sentient human beings with genuine elevation and transcendence.
This encompasses all that is required by the Heavenly Realm for the human world and all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. It also involves the vast transformative causes and conditions of the Heavenly Realm, aimed at providing a comfortable life and widespread convenience for future generations of sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. Such necessities are indeed essential and will truly benefit the descendants to come.
In response to these conditions of causation, up to the present in this third kalpa, not only have all educational and transformative courses for the current era been initiated, but also, in alignment with the fundamental role of integrating the equality and shared prosperity of the five teachings, there will be numerous great virtues and blessings descending from the vast cosmos to the mundane world, fostering its benefit and growth.
All human thoughts and perceptions are subject to limitations.
In the world of sentient beings, it is difficult to truly experience the benevolent will of Heaven. Most often, people remain ambiguous, frequently relying on predictive thinking and concepts to guide their actions. To genuinely fulfill the conditions for such practice, one must truly possess this divine mandate and a sacred mission, only then can one carry out the work of spreading enlightenment.
Among these, many will be announced and made known to all during the Haotian Conference. This will enable the implementation and practice under such conditions, and for all religious sects and lineages across the great world, it will achieve the genuine dissemination of educational courses, which must rely on the mission and path they have undertaken.
This is truly something that can be practiced to guide those who are genuinely exceptional in their duties and missions toward Heaven. Therefore, if one fails to understand and comprehend all of Heaven’s original intentions, it becomes fundamentally impossible to follow Heaven’s basic will during the process of implementation. This inevitably leads to misinterpretation and uncertainty about how to proceed.
Such issues are bound to create numerous obstacles in the future that are difficult to overcome in achieving accomplishments. Therefore, from the perspective of the Heavenly Realm toward all compassionate religious sects, the multitude of original spirit Buddha-children, and all religious leaders: this becomes a process of testing the foundation, distinguishing between those who can achieve success and those who cannot.
The Fundamental Spirit of Divine Benevolence
There will be a requirement of impartiality and non-interference, which is directed at all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the vast world. It is about whether, in this lifetime, they can pass the trials and tribulations of a single existence to achieve complete resolution, fully settling all karmic retributions from the past, and thereby truly transforming and elevating themselves in this very life.
In this process, one is bound to encounter numerous instances of ignorance and obstacles. How, then, can one fulfill the hopes of Heaven by achieving a lifetime of growth and learning? Moreover, when it comes to truly transforming and elevating oneself in the present moment, sentient beings often find themselves unable to genuinely attain a lifetime of improvement and transcendence through their own "faith, determination, and practice."
On the contrary, in the human world, one will be hindered by self-indulgence and ignorance, obstructing one's own growth. Under such conditions, it is impossible to truly achieve elevation and transcendence within a single lifetime. Instead, one will only repeatedly reincarnate within the Earth's star system, fundamentally struggling to attain growth and learning. What can truly be done about it?
Therefore, the fundamental essence of the divine decree requires that one must achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha in this very lifetime! However, all the trials and tribulations you face in the human world—are they sufficient to eliminate and repay all the karmic retributions from your past? Or have they instead deepened the accumulation of all evil debts? This must be realized through the practice of your own "faith, vow, and perseverance."
How to Develop Technological Civilization
This will inevitably lead to the obscurity of one's own ignorance, resulting in repeated cycles of rebirth or the achievement of one's own ascension and return. Correspondingly, it also hinges on the function of one's "faith, vow, and practice," which relies on the great compassion and benevolent virtue of the Heavenly Jade Emperor. In the present era, this is further unfolding within the process of technological civilization.
In the future, numerous civilizations will manifest within the temporal and spatial dimensions yet to come. Yet, whether the human world can truly comprehend and accept the Earth’s planetary system depends upon the benevolent will of Heaven as its foundation. This is also because over two million high-tech talents, dispatched to descend into the mortal realm, have long been dispersed across the Earth’s planetary system.
In this context, there is no distinction between any nation or religious denomination; all are united in mutual fulfillment and respect. The primary cause lies in how research and inventions can benefit both oneself and others. This differs from all past research and inventions, and indeed represents growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Thus, it has already transcended the limitations and selfish motives inherent in past inventions and creations. This is because, in the present moment, sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children often align themselves with forward (or monetary) pursuits. Moreover, regarding the past: after research and invention, they often fail to benefit the multitude of original spirit Buddha-children, merely enjoying for themselves alone the creative grace bestowed by Heaven.
Thus, it becomes necessary to commence with invention.
The Heavens have thus redefined and elevated all past "research, invention, and creation." In the future, the essence accumulated over millennia will be revisited and reshaped through renewed "research, invention, and creation." This process will be further enriched by drawing upon the virtuous influences of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations in their own pursuits of "research, invention, and creation."
That is to say, the high-tech civilization of the first and second cosmic cycles of the Earth's star system is being repositioned as a focus for "research, invention, and creation" to be promoted. During this process, many aspects of technological civilization that could not be manifested in this third cosmic cycle will be integrated and guided, and this is being carried out by the heavens for such high-tech civilization.
It will be a continuous process of implementation and propagation, aimed at all sentient beings, original spirits, and disciples of the Buddha. This will effortlessly elevate all civilizations to higher levels, enabling both self-realization and the enlightenment of all beings. In this third kalpa, there will be a more authentic return and transcendence, which is precisely the manifestation process of the divine will.
Humanity borrows all virtuous functions
Regarding these past events: First, during the first and second cosmic cycles, over two million high-tech talents were recruited from outer galaxies for "research, invention, and creation." However, this does not mean that all of these over two million high-tech talents were truly capable of engaging in "research, invention, and creation."
Each individual has a different mission, and it is only after one has engaged in personal "research, invention, and creation" that these efforts can be gathered into the collective strength of unity. This is the way for the entire team to carry out propagation and practice. It is akin to whether a group can unite as one; if so, it can perform this fundamental act of propagation, which is to say, the two aspects complement and support each other.
Furthermore, high-tech civilization is not merely composed of individual entities; it also enables the expression and promotion of such extensive transformation. This necessitates a collective team spirit, which serves as the great virtue of heaven bestowed upon the sentient world for human survival. At this point, it can be said that it has long transcended the rigid constraints of the past.
This demonstrates the spiritual impact of future technology, while also promoting it collectively to the outside world, embodying the transformative power of "unity is strength"—a reflection of its authentic nature. It is precisely through this unity that mutual support in individual research, invention, and creation is fostered, encouraging everyone to come together and integrate their respective studies into a collective whole.
It is about creating great future blessings.
Otherwise, if a team fundamentally lacks this essential spirit, it becomes difficult to meet the requirements of Heaven for growth and learning. Therefore, the fundamental spirit of Heaven serves as the mutual foundation for growth in the propagation of the Great Dao. In the future, it will only be one Earth Village within the Di Ming star system.
It is essential to understand that, in this context, the union and mutual fulfillment between one nation and another can combine to turn these conditions into a model for future implementation toward extraterrestrial civilizations. This will enable genuine, authentic elevation and transcendence. Only in this way can all favorable causes and conditions be enhanced, elevated, and surpassed through virtuous progress.
In the vast expanse of the universe, there exists a truly developing celestial body, one that is progressing toward full development. Along this journey, numerous obstacles and challenges must inevitably be overcome. This is because extraterrestrial civilizations employ "light-speed mechanisms" to assist in elevating the human world of your kind.
This process, as it unfolds in the present moment, inherently lacks the capacity for such a breakthrough. However, the practice of "borrowing talent"—recruiting scientific and technological experts from extraterrestrial civilizations—truly possesses the dual functions of "transplanting and adapting elsewhere" and "transforming and localizing alien elements." These two foundational functions are precisely what serve to elevate the Earth's galactic system and transcend the human-centered world.
Technological civilization evolves at the speed of light.
If one cannot adapt to the speed of light, one will inevitably fail to respond to the demands of future technological civilization, thereby hindering the advancement of scientific and technological innovation. The world of human affection is only just beginning at this very moment. All truths will inevitably become clear in the future: why does the heavens guide the elevation of all technological civilization?
From the perspective of the heavens, this means that there exist many other celestial bodies whose technological civilizations far surpass that of the Earth's galaxy. It is essential that they assist in advancing the technological civilization of Earth's galaxy. This will truly elevate and create greater moral virtues and blessings. For humanity, if it cannot catch up with and surpass through technology, change is imperative!
Your way of life will inevitably be gradually phased out by the passage of time and space. Therefore, you must possess foresight, so that when the time comes, you will not be left with irreversible regrets. In the teachings bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, the process of growth and learning is achieved by being the master of oneself, rather than the slave of oneself. This point must be understood, for it is the true path.
I hope to understand: what is the divine will and fundamental spiritual framework of Heaven? Moreover, I aspire to truly transcend through "attaining enlightenment in this lifetime and achieving Buddhahood." We, the immortals and Buddhas, are waiting in the void and the infinite for all sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddha-children, to return and ascend. Such conditions of cause and effect are indeed essential!
The principal body of the sublime structure  
Flourishes through causes and conditions, inevitably bestowing virtue and aid.
Step by step, leaving footprints behind;  
Growth and learning depend on oneself.
Priority and order bring peace; all beings in the world attain their wishes.
Observing the future in every detail, the great foundation of the Way rests upon the virtue and will of Heaven.
This verse is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement: take this genuine opportunity for propagation and transformation as an achievement, a learning experience, and a path of growth. Do not assume that because something is not visible in the present moment, you should not believe in the future advancements of all technological civilizations and spiritual elevation. If your thousand-year spiritual essence remains undiminished, you will inevitably come to truly verify that what is spoken here today is indeed no falsehood.
This condition serves as an opportunity for the Earthly Obscure Star to ascend, grow, and transcend, manifested through the great virtue and grace of Heaven as "transforming profound mysteries to deliver all beings." Ah! Truly grateful to Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha, who provides this affinity for growth and transcendence. Thus, we shall trouble Chongxin for a while longer. Farewell to all, and may everything be auspicious!
## Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The Western Heaven, the Land of Ultimate Bliss,
Sends down scriptures to the mortal realm, expounding the structure of truth.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet the virtuous companion,  
Together they accomplish the return and fulfill the heavenly virtue.
Good evening to all holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Eight Great Bodhisattvas—specifically, Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva—descend to compose the thirty-second chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," offering a true elucidation of the divine will of Heaven. This addresses the functions and roles that will emerge within the future civilization of science and technology.
Moreover, how to ensure the survival of future generations and bestow virtue upon them is what truly matters! It is precisely because of the functional benefits of inheritance that we, in the present moment, serve as the vanguard of the Great Way. For our descendants, we must likewise act as the vanguard of the Great Way in the future.
The ongoing series of educational courses for broad cultivation serve to guide the Earth-Ming star system toward becoming a developed celestial body—this is our role and function. We can, in each phase, become masters of ourselves rather than slaves to ourselves. It is hoped that we may understand that the Supreme Being, for all future generations, indeed expects continuous growth and transcendence in every phase—this is the true nature of reality!
Those who can comprehend its mysteries are truly those who have grown. If one fails to appreciate the profound virtue of Heaven, they will merely revolve in cycles of rebirth, lifetime after lifetime. However, for a master of the self who ascends and transcends, there is no attachment to their present sacrifices and offerings, nor any belief in the greatness of their own merits.
Furthermore, they consider such acts of giving, sacrifice, and devotion as entirely natural. They are even more grateful to the enlightened masters of the Chongxin lineage for providing them with the opportunity to engage in such acts of sacrifice and dedication. This embodies the true essence of sincerity. Do you possess such an understanding? Ha! Ha! Reflect on it yourselves, and you will surely comprehend everything!
##Western Manjusri Bodhisattva
Namo to all beings, inherently pure and luminous; Ananda came to expound the self-nature.
Bodhisattvas gather with great affinity, watching over and protecting the virtuous deeds of heaven.
The grace of Heaven bestows blessings and protection upon all living beings.
A bright future is within reach, for we can comprehend the great virtue and grace of Heaven. There exists a supreme Heaven—a process of "the evolution of the Great Dao"—manifested in the mortal world. Within this, much is rooted in the virtue and grace of Heaven. It can be said that through each and every cycle of evolution, the orientation of human existence is revised anew.
Furthermore, in each primordial assembly, it is always the Heavens that take the lead. The growth and fulfillment within any temporal and spatial environment also embody the benevolent will and grace of the Heavens, descending into the mundane world. Thus, it can be said: if in the human world, it is merely an act of survival-oriented dependence, when and where can the primary causes and conditions for elevation arise?
In comprehending the essence of the divine will of Heaven, although one may be situated within the causal conditions of all times and spaces in the cycle of reincarnation, it is a true point of transformation—a boundary between ascending and descending within the cycle of reincarnation. This is grounded in the fundamental functions and essential principles of Heaven, and because of the human world, there exists such a point of demarcation between ascent and descent.
Sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, in such a spacetime environment, if they cling solely to survival-oriented pursuits, will forever be unable to attain ascension and transcendence, fulfillment and return. In this process, there must be numerous courses of guidance and salvation bestowed by the Heavens upon the mortal world to lead and enlighten, for the human realm remains constrained by the cycle of reincarnation.
Human beings are here to learn and grow.
However, through learning and growth, if one enters a religion, it can lead to the transformation of one's thoughts and actions. Without undergoing the refining process of religion, how can one truly eliminate all past negative habits and avoid sinking into depravity? It is precisely for this reason that the divine will of Heaven grants the space for elevation and opportunities for growth and learning.
Moreover, in the human world, even amidst the turbid and impure age, one can truly seize the divine opportunity to purify one's original spirit—this is the true path! This is precisely the foundational work bestowed by Heaven upon all sentient beings in the vast world, to elevate their thinking, foster transformation, and encourage growth. It benefits not only oneself but also all living beings.
This is the culmination of all that has transpired: the five sages descended into the vast world, enabling the teachings and guidance of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. Each tradition has further benefited from the profound nourishment of great virtue and grace, providing abundant resources across many dimensions. This, in turn, allows humanity, upon entering these religions, to achieve fulfillment, engage in learning, and undergo growth.
Having evolved over more than two thousand years, it bestows upon humanity the distilled essence of the arduous efforts of religious sages, eminent monks, pastors, and all other messengers across any time and space. This enables the fundamental causal functions of all religions to be guided and fulfilled by their respective traditions—an embodiment of the Dao's own responsive activity.
Humanity should not discriminate among any religions.
Thus, they come to fulfill all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. Moreover, regardless of which religion one enters, one can joyfully devote oneself to one's interests. And in devoting oneself to one's interests, it must be done willingly and by one's own choice, making it easy to enter religious contemplation for transformation.
This is precisely because of such causal actions that we can align with the guidance of Heaven, which makes no distinction among all religions such as "Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam," treating them all as one unified whole, thereby fulfilling the virtuous grace and transformative actions bestowed by Heaven. Moreover, in Heaven’s fulfillment of all things in the vast human world, these religions mutually support one another, without any distinction among them.
As long as one can guide oneself and accomplish all original spirit Buddha children, they may, within the scope of the Heavenly Regulations, not only thrive and prosper but also create blessings for future generations, bestowing and fulfilling them. Therefore, all the blessings and protection from Heaven do not distinguish between any nation or race.
As long as one can enter, through mutual fulfillment and learning among religious sects and lineages, one can truly enter into the care and protection of Heaven. Among these, there are many achievements that can be genuinely realized in a single lifetime. However, sentient beings, often bound by their thoughts and concepts, frequently fail to cultivate in accordance with the fundamental original intent of Heaven.
Learning, growth, and upward progress lead to transcendence.
Furthermore, within the human realm alone, one encounters many difficulties and setbacks, which is why among cultivators there are many, but those who attain the Way are few! This is because once immersed in this realm, one must undergo the true tests of the heavens, which examine one's steadfast faith, and face numerous trials of transformation. These serve to assess whether one's foundation is sufficient and how one's achievements measure up for all sentient beings.
However, it is precisely when one repeatedly fails to pass the assessment of their foundational virtue by Heaven that such situations become all too common in the human world! Moreover, all of Heaven’s favor is premised on testing one’s foundational virtue, serving not only as a criterion for evaluating all who enter into religious life.
Likewise, it is not only through entering religion that mutual fulfillment is achieved, nor is it only for those who have entered religion that their foundations are tested. For those who have not entered religion, the same applies—all are examined, from birth to old age and death, in this manner. Regarding the trials and tempering by Heaven, it is essential for practitioners to undergo various trials and tribulations in the human world, thereby achieving mutual fulfillment.
This is among all the blessings and care bestowed by Heaven, a true opportunity to comprehend the fundamental spirit of Heaven! It is also a mutual fulfillment by Heaven for genuine practitioners, enabling them to attain the true stages of cultivation within a single lifetime, while observing their mindset and perspectives along the path of cultivation.
The Authenticity of Educational and Cultural Curricula
Can one have the firm determination and faith to put it into practice, or will it merely become a slogan of cultivation? This is precisely because what is being cultivated is the manifestation of the Great Dao, akin to the learning process of entering a university in society. In the human world, you still have diplomas to rely upon, but when it comes to religious practice, there is no such tangible diploma to depend on.
It is essential to undergo, under the blessing and protection of Heaven, the evaluation of one's foundational merits through scoring. This further pertains to how each individual can achieve, within a single lifetime, the fulfillment of Buddhist practice and attainment of merit. That is, during Heaven's examination process, how does one enter into the assessment of all cultivation scores?
Nor is it that one's own actions and words have already been recognized as entering the path of cultivation, but rather, they remain far from the true practice of the Great Way. This is what some sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples often refer to as "learning and cultivation," yet it remains incapable of achieving genuine attainment! Such a mode of practice necessitates deep self-reflection!
Watch over and protect all sentient beings.
Moreover, for all those who can truly receive information from Heaven, the question of whether there will be a bright future or not is something they can truly evaluate for themselves. Some may immerse themselves in religious beliefs, but they are merely solitary individuals, fundamentally unable to truly comprehend the importance of collective propagation and transformation in the current era.
It enables everyone to ascend and transcend together. Even amidst the changing circumstances of the present era, the practice of the human path must never depart from the fundamental spirit of Heaven. Instead, it is a genuine endeavor to create blessings for future generations, both for oneself and for all original spirit beings and Buddha's disciples.
Moreover, it is about gathering and propagating teachings for the public, not only providing genuine mutual protection and fulfillment for oneself and all beings, but also truly implementing and spreading the care and blessings bestowed by Heaven in the human world. Therefore, in this current era, all peoples must not discriminate against any religion!
Moreover, it can be said: having long transcended the temporal and causal conditions of the Arhat fruition of the past, it is the complete attainment of the abundant fruition of the Bodhisattva and Buddha paths that embodies true reality! This is precisely what enables all sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddha-sons, to genuinely enter the temporal and causal conditions of the 21st century, ascending, growing, and surpassing in elevation!
The mortal world has already departed from the path of cultivating poverty.
Because all present causes and conditions have already transcended the temporal and spatial confines of past cultivation as a "humble Daoist"; you may carefully contemplate that your current cultivation environment no longer requires traversing mountains and valleys to seek the revelations of the Great Dao and celestial secrets, and you can easily enter into an era of information.
One can comprehend the essence of all teachings: the finest aspects of Buddhism and Taoism, while also elevating the practice of the "Path of Abundance" as a foundation. This means applying the "Way of Prosperity" to adapt to this era, and further integrating Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam into one's own system of thought. As for the human world, it is merely a time and circumstance for tempering and growth.
However, it can be said: all the toil and effort in one lifetime can be exchanged for genuine freedom and attainment across countless lifetimes; this condition of cause and effect, in turn, depends on whether you can truly comprehend the care and protection bestowed by Heaven. It is determined and chosen based on whether one strives or not!
Moreover, throughout this process, regardless of any trials or hardships, you will also come to understand the realization of "attaining enlightenment in the present moment and achieving Buddhahood in this lifetime." I wonder if you desire this? If you can truly comprehend the profound virtue and intention of Heaven, and further ascend and transcend, achieve perfection and return to your origin, this is the true path. Thus, it is essential to strive diligently!
A bright future is anticipated to arrive early,  
As human connections align in harmony and agreement.
The divine will of Heaven forms the foundation,  
Bestowing care and protection upon the great path in its destined time.
Sentient beings must hold firm their resolve,  
For the path divides between ascent and descent.
Step by step, leaving a footprint; growth and learning depend on oneself.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement; to fulfill the fundamental essence of the divine virtue from both positive and negative aspects. Though it is said to test your foundations, in truth, it is to grant you the opportunity to transcend the constraints of reincarnation in this very lifetime, achieving genuine growth and surpassing—this is the true nature! Very well, I appreciate everyone's companionship in this endeavor, and I apologize for troubling the Chongxin lineage for some time. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
The Western World, the Land of Ultimate Bliss, spreads the teachings and transmits the Dharma through its structure.
The Bodhisattva descends to gather in communion,  
The Great Way shines bright as celestial scriptures unfold.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Bodhisattva Namo Ananda descends to compose the thirty-third chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Dao," conveying the benevolent will of Heaven to watch over and bless, fostering mutual fulfillment. Thus, it may be said: while this serves as an act of examination and protection for you all, in truth, it grants growth and elevation within the human realm!
Upon entering the religion, through all the transformations and trials that follow, one can clearly discern the nature of one’s foundation. Can one truly ascend and transcend? Although it is said that one has entered religious practice with utmost diligence and effort, the method must also be correct. Otherwise, everything can be understood—how one fares in the process will reveal the true measure of one’s attainment.
## Western Ornamental Splendor Bodhisattva
Homage to the One Vehicle that saves all souls;  
The Way aids all beings with harmony and compassion.
The Ancient Buddha descended to bestow the Book of Light,  
Heaven and Earth unite to tread the path of the Great Dao.
The great virtue of Heaven bestows its grace, in harmony with all under the cosmos.
The benevolent grace and watchful care of Heaven serve to clarify a protective function, which is to grant the universe the capacity for mutual harmony. This universal benevolence is precisely guided by Heaven, overseeing all educational functions imparted to the world below. This provides a foundation of support for the human realm. It is essential to understand: what, then, is the primary causal and functional essence of Heaven?
Under what conditions should one fulfill the requirements of the divine grace bestowed by Heaven? It is through the generative actions of the dual polarities of yin and yang. This further constitutes an educational tradition and a process of practice, aimed at clarifying the actions that should be undertaken in response to the demands of Heaven. This is because the cosmos itself is a unity of yin and yang, further distinguished through the division of male and female.
In the human world, all things can be collectively referred to as "yin and yang, heaven and earth." Within the human way, the distinction between male and female is made, and it must be possible to live, act, and function. This clarity allows us to understand how, under such conditions, to truly implement the essential meaning of the great virtue and grace of the heavenly realm. This also involves the dynamic interplay of these two fundamental forces, heaven and earth.
It can thus be concluded that the conditions for implementation within the human world must also apply equally to all primordial spirits existing in the Earth's star system. Therefore, the grace bestowed by Heaven is one of care and protection, enabling the entire lineage to rely on and carry forward these actions. Under such conditions, sentient humanity is elevated and enabled to progress upward.
Heaven watches over and protects all living beings.
Moreover, to truly receive the care and protection of Heaven, it must be a holistic and complete endeavor. Only such an approach can genuinely fulfill the requirements for true divine favor, and this is the correct path! How, then, can we create educational actions that will propagate and transform the future for both? It lies in leveraging the technological civilization of our current era to achieve self-growth and benefit from it.
Furthermore, the process of nurturing growth through the descent of virtuous grace can manifest a future technology in the present by aligning with all life orientations of the human world. This anticipatory effect elevates and transcends the primary causes of the great virtuous grace of Heaven in the current era, providing all benevolent and favorable conditions for the growth of sentient beings.
If we focus solely on technological civilization while neglecting the "spiritual cultivation of sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds," we may only achieve prosperity in science and technology. However, it will be difficult to attain the fulfillment of "mind, spirit, and body" for both sentient beings of the masculine and feminine principles.
In the human realm, how can one elevate this spirituality to a level that transcends the origin of karma? It is by recognizing that both Qian (Heaven) and Kun (Earth) possess their primary origins of karma and functional roles. So, how can a world of light be created? This is because the human world often fails to implement the fundamental will of the Heavenly Realm as intended.
All beings surpass the technological civilization.
Furthermore, the pursuit of transcending one's own "mind, spirit, and body" often leads to the destruction of one's spirituality due to obstacles in survival. This is a rather harsh reality. Otherwise, in the human world, as long as one acts properly and cultivates diligently, many karmic hindrances can surely be reduced.
However, in this era where civilization and technology dominate, the faith of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples as their refuge inevitably encounters many harms born of ignorance. Moreover, due to the simultaneous emergence of myriad teachings, sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples frequently face numerous obstacles to spiritual progress that manifest themselves.
Entering religion in this manner only becomes an obstacle to one's own faith and spiritual refuge. Such a situation is exceedingly common in the present era. Witnessing this, the Heavenly Realm has thus reissued a universal proclamation and disseminated it throughout the human world, clarifying how sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples can enhance and elevate their practice and cultivation process to achieve upward growth and advancement!
The foundation for all future propagation and transformation must be re-established. Therefore, in this era of cosmic cycles, such a renewed proclamation is issued. This proclamation serves to provide firsthand, comprehensive information, fulfilling the requirements for the creation of all light in the vast world. Humanity and all sentient beings should act accordingly!
Sentient beings can grow and elevate themselves.
Thus, it enables all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples to cultivate and grow within any religious sect or lineage. The guidance for the growth and learning of each individual’s mind, consciousness, and awareness has already been imparted in the "Dadao Series" books. Moreover, it allows all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples in the world of sentience to eliminate the obstacles of ignorance they encounter.
How then can we mutually elevate, fulfill, and commune with one another? For all the learning and growth within your human world, we have brought forth in the present moment the Dadao series of books, which must genuinely delve into the profound teachings of the future Maitreya Pure Land’s inner sanctum, thereby benefiting all sentient beings with love and compassion.
However, such a course has already been written in advance within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Chongxin Sect lineage! If one fails to seize all present opportunities, it merely amounts to entering various religious beliefs in vain. Even if one claims to have cultivated within a religion for several decades, it remains difficult to thoroughly comprehend and embody the truth through learning and growth within that faith.
It remains difficult to conduct in-depth study and achieve clear experiential understanding of the Great Dao and the grace of Heaven, which holds true for contemporary traditions such as Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and other religious schools. Therefore, the future dissemination of these teachings should aim to genuinely attain and grow through the true nature of reality.
Human beings will learn and grow.
Furthermore, it is essential that you now focus on your own learning and growth—this is the true path! This also involves understanding how to propagate the teachings for each individual, as required. In today’s era of the internet, this is already an established action within the global village. Such an approach is indeed authentic, but how can we truly lay the foundation for widespread dissemination and promotion?
Moreover, how can we establish and propagate the network of the Chongxin Sect far and wide? It is precisely for the sake of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples from the First Cosmic Cycle, the Second Cosmic Cycle, and the periods of the Green and Red Suns. They can mutually assist and guide the ninety-two original spirits toward fulfillment and salvation. This current situation and action will enable you to spread the teachings through the present moment.
Rather than merely waiting for sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to propagate the Dharma, how should you all manifest and adapt within the cosmic celestial realms and the mundane world? This must be achieved by promoting and expanding the foundation of Buddha-nature through "the true Buddha within the heart." Thus, all realms of existence can resonate in harmony. How, then, should collective actions of manifestation and adaptation be undertaken for the entire global village?
It is through the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect that genuine guidance and opportunity are truly established, rather than relying solely on the hope that immortals and Buddhas will come to deliver you. Otherwise, you remain too passive. It is essential to understand how to fulfill such conditions, for true deliverance requires genuine action. Only then can the true foundation for all forms of salvation and guidance be established for you.
All religious virtues of technological civilization
How does it achieve the effect of fulfillment? It is certain to bring you genuine growth and learning, as it is the result of unanimous deliberation by the Heavenly Lord and all celestial immortals and Buddhas. This was further proclaimed and made known to the mortal world in the Council of the Vast Heaven, and it is not limited to all religions on Earth today.
All are welcome to join this endeavor, and it is only through this announcement to the Chongxin Sect that the Chongxin Sect can truly undertake the sacred mission of propagating the teachings bestowed by Heaven. This represents Heaven’s genuine and profound favor upon the Chongxin Sect. How, then, can the sacred duties of the Great Dao be propagated? It is by making this the shared goal of all deities, Buddhas, and disciples within the Chongxin Sect.
It is essential to base this on students who revere the core teachings of the heart, for only then can it be considered genuine. This is because the process of creation and fulfillment by Heaven is meant to be realized within the human world, not by Heaven alone. Whether all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in this world of affection can truly experience and achieve the grace bestowed through this process depends entirely on their earnest efforts.
You must also observe the efforts you promote in the mission of propagating the teachings, so that they may be genuine and true. This not only involves advancing all sacred duties of the Chongxin lineage in the present moment but also requires that the propagation of the Great Dao be accomplished within the human world to achieve fruition. Moreover, all merits and effects are realized, accumulated, and witnessed through your efforts to bring them to completion. Do you understand?
Heaven favors those with true affection; the human world can become the foundation of the universe.
To grow and learn for fulfillment, to propagate and guide for the future's promise.
The covenant of heaven and earth embodies the inevitable truth, guiding and leading to the fulfillment of the heavenly virtue's principle.
Human growth is forged through experience; a reverent heart can achieve the return.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement; the actions taken to achieve mutual fulfillment and to guide others must be grounded in truth, rather than relying solely on the guidance of Heaven and the Buddhas for return and transcendence. It is essential to understand that human factors can determine success or failure. Only by clearly recognizing this point can one proceed correctly!
The Western Paradise descends upon the mortal world,  
With Dao and Buddhism joining forces to aid in its fulfillment.
Today the Bodhisattva takes the watch,  
The Great Way shines bright, virtue pure and true.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Tao Light Master, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoist Salvation, has descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of "The Light of the Great Tao." This chapter accomplishes a profound and extraordinary bond between heaven and earth, further enabling all students of the Chongxin lineage to ascend through countless lifetimes toward boundless growth.
To fulfill the sacred mission of the great lineage bestowed by Heaven, one must not merely rely on the hope of being guided by Heaven or the immortals and buddhas. It is essential to achieve this through all the learning and requirements of the Chongxin lineage. This is because the great Dao of Heaven, in its vast transformation, can descend into the mortal world, offering sentient beings the opportunity to ascend, grow, and transcend.
Rather than merely hoping for divine intervention to bring fulfillment, your worldly efforts in guiding others can truly bring about the gathering and propagation of four hundred million future Buddha's disciples, as well as over two million high-tech talents. This is the genuine reality! May you understand the efficacy of such actions, for all your deeds form the critical juncture that determines success or failure.
跋、凡例
##Namo Shakyamuni Buddha
讚引、頌賀、序言
The sentient beings of the South Sea barrier come forth,  
As the ancient Buddha descends, illuminating the ranks with light.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos;  
The harmony of yin and yang is as it should be.
All the harmonious unions among the myriad human beings of the great world.
The covenant between heaven and earth is observed together, and all existence within the great Dao world finds its reliance. This is unified through the mundane world. In the process of aligning with the orientation of survival, one must clarify the path of their own desires and understand the conditions required to achieve them. It also involves mutually elevating the spaces of one’s "life and spirit."
These points must first be clarified: what is the fundamental cause that enables such conditions to be transcended? It is to elevate one's spiritual essence, achieving upward growth, transcendence, and fulfillment. In this process, one should genuinely enhance both "mind and life," thereby harmoniously integrating them in the course of one's own growth and elevation.
In the vast universe, all living beings and myriad things are considered the main entities. This is because the process of harmonizing yin and yang is fundamentally based on the continuation for future generations. This generational transmission of harmony is achieved through the principle that "the predecessors plant trees so that the successors may enjoy the shade." Can the sentient world pass down such experiences to future generations?
Must we consider whether the predecessors' experiences are abundant or lacking? In passing down these experiences, there should be genuine educational programs to impart them effectively. Although there exists a legacy of wisdom passed down from elders to future generations, how can one truly benefit from such conditions and opportunities for one's own survival?
How should human beings cultivate growth
It can truly benefit oneself, enabling one to achieve the transcendence of "improving living standards and fostering spiritual growth" in the process of passing down experiences. During this period, it is essential to possess genuine functionality and effectiveness, for only then can it be considered authentic. If, however, it fails to elevate one's living standards and spiritual growth, then what is the point?
It is easy to merely drift through the ordinary course of life. Observing the present era: although advancements have been made that were unattainable in the past, many difficulties and obstacles are inevitably encountered. How should these be resolved? For all human existence, it is essential to strive for upward growth and transcendence.
This is a transcendence of DNA and the fundamental principle of eugenics. For sentient beings in the human world to achieve transcendence, it is essential to genuinely elevate their spirituality and standard of living. This means applying the principles of eugenics to human DNA to attain the transcendence of RNA. Can the human world comprehend such extraordinary conditions?
This is a eugenic principle aimed at transforming the entire human world. However, it is only authentic when the dual forces of yin and yang can mutually benefit all human beings. Therefore, it is essential for the survival of humanity and serves to genuinely elevate and transcend the inherent quality of DNA. Yet, whether this can be achieved remains uncertain.
All Human Eugenics Enhancement
In the context of the present era of the human world, the fundamental advancement of eugenics lies in RNA-based engineering. This foundational engineering aims to enhance the eugenic quality of the entire human world, not only achieving improvement but also enabling transcendence. This is because, in the current state of the human world, the fundamental capacity for such transcendence has yet to be attained.
Therefore, witnessing these inferior genes, the Heavenly Providence deems it necessary to reform and elevate all virtuous and benevolent qualities within humanity, encouraging their growth. If you observe carefully, you will find that some foundational DNA engineering has already been implemented to achieve the enhancement of RNA. This represents the Heavenly Providence’s endeavor to cultivate a superior quality of life in the great cosmos, surpassing all before.
How to transmit the gene of QNA into the energy body of your physical form is a fundamental aspect of the "eugenics" of human nature that the Divine must implement for all human beings. In other words, it is through meeting this basic requirement that the true QNA energy body can be granted, enabling upward achievement.
This also serves to enhance the eugenics of your human nature, enabling all human beings in the future to construct the most fundamental basis for such energy entities that transcend Earth's space. If one cannot surpass the limitations of Earth's space, it will be impossible to escape the vortex of such obstacles.
It is essential to be able to elevate the quality of causes.
The integration is achieved through the physical body's QNA, and this self-energy of QNA is further unified by one's own luminous body. This enables mastery over one's "physical form and spiritual essence." It is precisely due to these conditions that the divine descends into the mundane world, also fostering the upward growth of all sentient original spirit Buddha-disciples in the current third kalpa.
Some human beings can transcend immediately, while others, though able to share in the great virtue and grace of heaven, remain confined by the limitations of the Earth's star system. Under such conditions, how can one accumulate their QNA energy body? Through gathering and accumulation, it is indeed possible to ascend and surpass these limitations!
There are some who fundamentally struggle to attain the dissemination and transmission of QNA, and there are also some sentient beings who, regardless of how they are educated or cultivated, find it difficult to comprehend the grace of Heaven. Such conditions make it impossible to distinguish between "purification and defilement" or "defilement and purification," let alone grasp the nuances of "stain and contamination" or "contamination and stain." This follows the same principle!
However, these two differ by a hair’s breadth yet lead to a thousand-mile divergence; therefore, the fundamental original intent of the great virtue and grace of Heaven and all the Immortals and Buddhas must be fulfilled in the present moment—that is, to allow those who receive the QNA energy of Heaven to truly accumulate it within their own energy bodies, radiating all light to achieve completion.
A world where yin and yang stand in mutual opposition.
It is about governing both Yin and Yang, and understanding the differential functions of each individual's energy body. One must comprehend the world where Yin and Yang stand in opposition. Without the mutual nourishment of Yin and Yang, there would arise a destructive force of ignorance toward all sentient beings and original spiritual Buddhas. This is especially true because the human world exists as a composite entity, half Yin and half Yang.
This state of being half-yin and half-yang requires the illumination of the "radiance of the sun and moon," which is inherent in the "electric wave body" of the physical form. Moreover, the energy of this "electric wave body" is directed toward all sentient original spirit Buddha-children, without distinction of gender, of heaven and earth, or of yin and yang, precisely because they possess a body that is half-yin and half-yang.
If one lacks the illumination of the "sun and moon's radiance," it will generate a destructive force of ignorance toward oneself. This can also be described as the energy of the "yin-yang duality." If this combined energy is deficient in the yin aspect, it will create numerous obstacles that hinder one's self-improvement. Similarly, if it is deficient in the yang aspect, the same hindrances will arise.
Within this limitation, you who dwell in the earthly realm are unable to escape this barrier. This is because the space in which the human world exists is precisely the intersection of yin and yang. Each day, yin and yang interact and complement each other, enabling life to proceed smoothly and harmoniously within this space. This is the profound mystery inherent in creation.
How to Increase Technological Energy
This limitation arises from the obstruction and confinement by a semi-yin, semi-yang energetic entity. For all spiritual practitioners in the sentient world who have entered into religious cultivation, you may further contemplate within this: why engage in spiritual practice? It is precisely to transform this semi-yin, semi-yang energetic entity into a QNA energetic body that transcends ordinary human nature.
This energy body, which you have been pursuing all along, presents a profound challenge to comprehend: its energy, function, and efficacy. Moreover, regarding what this energy body can achieve—how to transcend, how to perfect, how to return, and how to attain true suchness—it is essential to clarify what the original nature of true suchness truly is. Can one come to understand the foundation of this "self-suchness nature"?
It is precisely this energy that is difficult for all sentient beings to comprehend and understand. If one cannot construct the ability to transcend the "half-yin, half-yang" physical body, aspiring to break free from the cycle of rebirth in the six realms in the future becomes even more challenging than ascending to heaven. This is because not every being possesses this inherent energy within themselves.
Where there is love among people, there will be goodness that benefits all.
While such conditions are beneficial, they also carry their own harms. How they are applied to the elevation created by the "half-yin, half-yang" state must truly provide, within one's own QNA, an opportunity to transcend causality in the human world. Although sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children reside in the human world, how can they come to understand the elevation brought about by the "half-yin, half-yang"?
Moreover, in the future, one will be able to effortlessly enter into the framework established by the Middle Way and also transcend the harmony of the Middle Way. This, too, is an obstacle that sentient beings, the myriad original spirit Buddha-children in the world of emotions, find difficult to truly overcome. How then can one understand it? It is precisely through each individual’s experiential realization, mutually supporting, mutually elevating, mutually transcending, and mutually harmonizing with one another!
Moreover, it is the great virtue and grace of Heaven to elevate and transcend the fundamental balance of yin and yang throughout the vast world. It also clarifies how, in the future, the limitations and obstacles imposed by the human world can gradually be resolved. All is achieved through the interplay of causes and conditions, enabling humanity to ascend and transcend.
Heaven and Earth in accord must grasp the principle;  
The harmony of Yin and Yang must be clearly understood.
This body enters the mortal realm—  
Where do its limitations and obstacles lie?
The Great Path shines bright, lighting the way ahead;  
True Suchness and Real Nature return to heavenly innocence.
The Great Dao and True Suchness shine ever brighter,  
As all sentient beings return to completion.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples as mutual encouragement; in the process of truly elevating ourselves and growing together, we can understand all the obstacles and limitations of the human world. As for this journey: it is truly one step at a time, each footprint firm and steady. We should strive upward, transcend, and thus attain true reality!
How can one harmonize the yin and yang within one's own "half-yin, half-yang" nature, and achieve all things as desired? What do you all think? Those who can comprehend such exceptional conditions and affinities are wise; those who cannot must strive with greater effort. I thank you all for your companionship in this work and for troubling the Chongxin lineage for a time. Farewell for now, and may all be auspicious!

## The Great Sage and Ultimate Teacher, Confucius the Sage Master
讚引、頌賀、序言
From the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss descended,  
A wondrous title blooms with the stroke of a divine pen.
Today the Bodhisattva takes his turn on duty,  
gods, buddhas, and humans gather together in mutual affection.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea descended to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of "The Radiance of the Great Tao," elucidating the principle of the harmony between yin and yang. Within this, many heavenly secrets are revealed! However, it is impossible to fully explain it all in a single session.
In the times to come, it will be a true act of descending grace, one that enables you to achieve genuine transcendence. Moreover, only through this principle—the great virtue and compassion of Heaven—can it be revealed in the "Transmission of Celestial Truths." Otherwise, it would be difficult for all sentient cultivators to attain a state of perfect and transcendent return. Only the lineage of the Chongxin Sect can elucidate this. How, then, can you deeply contemplate the mysteries within it at this very moment?
跋、凡例
## Jehovah the Lord
讚引、頌賀、序言
Homage to the Supreme Praised Tathagata,  
The Lamp-Lighting Dharma lineage opens the Great Path.
The Ancient Buddha descends to bestow the Book of Light, bringing auspicious blessings and true fulfillment.
All beings seek auspiciousness and good fortune.
The divine grace descends to transform the mortal world, with the primary aim of elevating all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas. Especially in this era of technological civilization, such transformation can be truly realized and made tangible. How then should we view this in relation to all sentient Buddhas across the vast world, as well as all nations?
Furthermore, without distinguishing among all races and all living beings in the universe, all are able to transcend within this cosmic cycle. Precisely because of this connection, it not only facilitates the mutual enhancement of one's "mind, spirit, and body," but also achieves fulfillment through the planting of spiritual causes, particularly in advancing and surpassing on the path of cultivation.
Not only can one truly benefit, but it can also genuinely elevate, and it can be said that such actions, when bestowed upon future generations, will surely foster much growth, enabling them to achieve maturity, learn to transcend, and return within a single lifetime. This is indeed a remarkably favorable environment, one where the grace of Heaven descends and transforms the mortal world.
Without distinction of race or nation, nor of any religious sect or lineage, all are united as one. Thus, without discrimination in all actions, it is truly attainable. In the space of causes and conditions for all living orientations, one can achieve numerous advancements and growth, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings of humanity.
One can reap endless benefits right at this very moment.
If one fails to improve and grow in the present moment, the future technological civilization will inevitably reduce many blessings bestowed upon the human world. In this current era, growing within such an environment allows one to elevate and transcend the benchmark of auspicious tidings, thereby advancing oneself upward.
How, then, should we provide abundant resources for this elevated and transcendent benchmark? Not only can it enable the exploration of all galaxies and interstellar realms within the universe, but it also truly benefits the creation of all future technological civilizations. This is the fundamental principle of the heavens, and it further ensures that humanity reaps the rewards of goodness.
In the vast cosmos, the Earth's planetary system of the celestial body known as Dimingxing serves as a model for all cosmic galaxies and stars to mutually support and fulfill one another. This not only clarifies why, within this cosmic era, genuine benefits and harvests must be achieved, but also demonstrates how these are realized through the great virtue and policies of the Supreme Celestial Jade Emperor, the Exalted God of Mystical Divinity.
It is precisely for the purpose of descending to transform the mortal world that this presents another opportunity for the propagation of the Great Dao, which should be fulfilled in this cosmic cycle and under the current circumstances. It is essential to provide the technological civilizations of numerous extraterrestrial star systems as a means of fulfillment, thereby clarifying why, in the present era, all technological civilizations are bound to surpass and elevate far beyond those of previous ages.
Auspiciousness and good fortune bring about a fine life.
Such extraordinary conditions of cause and effect will bring about auspicious functions, representing a bright and beautiful world. This is akin to what Buddhas and sages have described: the fulfillment and elevation of heavenly realms, paradises, and blissful pure lands across the stars. It is a grand cosmic undertaking, a pursuit cherished by countless original spirits and Buddha-children, aimed at transcendence and ascension.
It is precisely because of the heart of joy, the heart of willingness, and the heart of gratitude that joy brings fulfillment. This further bestows upon all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the vast universe and earth not only the ability to achieve transcendence and return through their own learning and growth but also to clearly understand the future of technological civilization. Moreover, there will even be the manifestation of virtual reality in the human world.
It is a real living space where one can freely shift and transform, creating, researching, and perfecting in response to all current technological civilizations. It can be understood that the growth and transcendence of future technology will progress step by step, elevating and surpassing the intended destination in the future.
Thus, by taking "the Radiance of the Great Dao" as the foundation, and because of the illumination cast by "the Great Dao of Radiance," not only can the Earthly Obscure Star receive genuine blessings and protection, but it also creates a truly beneficial environment. This fosters personal growth and development, while bestowing an auspicious setting that advances toward comfort, convenience, and universality.
Auspiciousness can avert many calamities.
It can eliminate all misfortune and adverse calamities, precisely because such an environment is a future paradise on earth. How to immerse oneself in this environment and space, and thereby elevate and enhance the energy of one's human nature, allowing one's own body to radiate light—this is what QNA energy aims to achieve.
One can traverse the vast expanse of heaven and earth, and even transcend the cyclical interdependence of the three-dimensional space, thereby allowing oneself to enter into the creation of this energy body, which is further enhanced through QNA. This pertains to whether the energy body of one's own humanity has been sufficiently gathered within one's physical form. It also involves learning and growing from one's own inadequacies and deficiencies.
At this moment, for all of you, it is about receiving the self-energy of Shangcang, as the luminous system performs the act of absorption. Do not think that you have come to the Chongxin lineage merely to attend classes or offer support. It is essential to understand that regarding the great matter of your life and death, in each present moment, time and again, you are placing yourselves in an environment of purity and defilement.
This is yet another significant period of "purification and defilement." All that has been shaped by the environment, further transmitted through the writings of the Chongxin Sect under the Divine Decree by the celestial immortals and Buddhas descending from the heavens, and repeatedly manifested in the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books," is precisely aimed at replenishing all your insufficient energy bodies, while simultaneously examining the state of your energy.
Ruyi is precisely the fulfillment of one's own heart's desires.
Is there growth and accumulation? That is to say, observe yourselves: whether your habits, tendencies, innate nature, and individuality can be truly transformed. This is precisely what a true QNA energy body possesses. By granting you entry into the Chongxin Sect, there are the Tian Shu series of works, creating for you a future where genuine benefits can be truly attained and accumulated.
Upon careful observation, it becomes evident that all who sincerely come to the Chongxin lineage to study and cultivate will, after a few years, experience profound changes in every aspect of their lives: their countenance, physique, spirit, family, career, and wealth. Not only will these transformations grow increasingly favorable, but they will also become more harmonious, auspicious, and wholesome. All of this is absolutely true and undeniable.
Have you ever felt the accumulation of your own energy from these Q&A sessions? Of course, the feeling is abundant! By immersing yourself in the Chongxin lineage, you come to understand your own energy body, achieving genuine elevation and transcendence. This, in turn, benefits your personal growth, fostering a virtuous upward progression and enhancement.
Moreover, because it can align with one's own wishes and is a heavenly opportunity and good affinity bestowed upon oneself, for all the myriad original spirit Buddha-children in the sentient world, if one cannot first accumulate all of one's own QNA, it is essential to be even more diligent in other aspects, which can also lead to the fulfillment of one's own energy body.
With the compassionate protection and blessings of the Chongxin Immortals and Buddhas.
It is precisely because of the absence of higher-level immortals and Buddhas descending to the same temporal and causal environment to mutually support and uphold one another that you all can truly benefit. However, not every student may necessarily experience such resonance. It is essential to understand that this is precisely due to the descent of higher-level immortals and Buddhas in the compilation of the Celestial Texts of the Chongxin Sect under the Sacred Decree.
Therefore, regarding the energy bodies of immortals and buddhas, which are enveloped within this environment, there are instances where the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are authored. Thus, each time it is not merely a single high-level immortal or buddha who descends to compose the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." At times, although only one immortal or buddha descends to author a single volume.
In fact, many high-level immortals and buddhas have come together to participate in the composition of the Dadao series of celestial scriptures. Each time, each occasion, sometimes the immortals and buddhas from the previous session come to compose, while those from the subsequent session also join collectively to partake in this great karmic opportunity of composing the celestial scriptures. This allows for an even clearer understanding of the full meaning contained within the writings of the previous sessions.
This recurring revelation of celestial secrets and the high-level energies of immortals and Buddhas are precisely what enable you to eliminate karmic obstacles while increasing blessings and wisdom. If you wholeheartedly contemplate the essence of the works composed by these immortals and Buddhas, it will undoubtedly create a mutually reinforcing effect. This will integrate the "energy body" into your physical form, serving as the foundation for your future growth.
How to Enhance Purity Amidst Defilement and Defilement Amidst Purity
This is precisely the elevation from impurity to purity, and also the transcendence from purity to impurity. It is essential to understand that such an opportunity, in the context of today's world, is exceedingly rare. Only a few religious lineages possess this divine chance and favorable conditions. Thus, you may carefully contemplate the profound significance within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," which are composed amidst particularly auspicious temporal and spatial causes and conditions.
How much of the increase in high-level energy QNA can you absorb? This very distinction—whether you can attain your desires or not—serves to clarify every step of the experiential process, leading to the fulfillment and elevation of your own energy body. Such a rare and precious opportunity of heavenly insight is indeed scarce!
If one fails to understand that at the very moment the immortals and buddhas descend, it is possible to absorb the energy bodies of these celestial teachers into one's own physical form, then it would be akin to entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed. How then could one comprehend the means to absorb such high-level energy bodies that bring satisfaction and benefit to oneself?
Moreover, for you all, the purification of the mind and spirit inherent in your "nature, spirituality, and physical body" is achieved precisely through growth in the purified path. It is essential to cultivate stillness in your learning process to reap benefits and gains. This clarifies how to absorb the goodness and beauty of the overall energy field and magnetic resonance!
It will thus have the beneficial function of positive influence.
This space serves as a truly beneficial influence for your cultivation, enabling the achievement of purity amid defilement and defilement transformed into purity. It genuinely elevates you, and through the support of this energy, not only can it truly eliminate all peculiar habits and stubborn temperaments, but it also fosters genuine and substantial upward growth.
Moreover, for your future, how can you know that you will truly benefit and grow as you wish? It is precisely by granting you satisfaction and fulfillment that you can achieve your desires, actions, and endeavors, thereby reaching your destination and accomplishing your goals. In this way, you may effortlessly return to: the Boundless, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heavenly Realm.
This is something you should understand at this moment. Although it may seem like merely attending the hall to support and accompany the writing, you must recognize that the benefits of such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity are beyond your own capacity to fully comprehend and clarify. This is because the writing of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" within the Chongxin lineage involves one immortal or Buddha succeeding another from above and below in its continuation.
The Great Path gradually becomes luminous and the work is completed.
The former and the latter together continue to complete the Dadao series, revealing this celestial secret to the mortal world through each volume and each chapter. Among these, there are many mysteries that you could scarcely comprehend even over countless lifetimes. It is essential to understand that without the innate wisdom contained within the Patriarch of the Principle Pen, how could such an opportunity have ever arisen?
If you wish to come into the human world and participate in the writing of the Dadao series of heavenly scriptures, I fear your energy bodies may not be sufficient or capable of accumulation. To truly act according to your own will, and moreover to achieve goodness, beauty, and excellence—how can such a temporal and spatial cause and condition be obtained? It is necessary to receive the true decree from the heavens, which will then enable this fulfillment and transcendence.
Thus it can be said: This is the decree of the Vast Heaven and the Boundless, issued to the mortal world to guide over four hundred and two million sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, all of whom have participated in this primordial kalpa. Only thus can they attain, as they wish, the manifestation of "auspiciousness" within themselves, fulfilling the heart's desire as revealed by "as one wishes"!
The Great Tao Series of Celestial Books Benefit All Sentient Beings
The complete works of "The Radiance of the Great Dao" have now been finished. At this point, it can be said that a truly beautiful conclusion and fulfillment have been achieved. This is something you can clearly perceive in the present moment. Within the writings of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," genuine elevation and transcendence can be attained. Each volume addresses different karmic systems, enabling understanding of issues and the dissolution of obstacles.
This is precisely what is bestowed upon you to benefit you endlessly, and further enables you to achieve in this lifetime the attainment of Buddhahood. It is hoped that all of you may: come as you truly are and depart as you truly are. That is to say, in facing the world of the future, you may genuinely realize the discernment of "illuminating the mind and perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and verifying the fruit," which is the true nature of reality.
It is essential to understand how to be the master of oneself, rather than merely a slave, in the face of one's own "true suchness of Buddha-nature" and "true suchness of demon-nature." This distinguishes the boundary between one's own ascent and downfall. It is also hoped that you all may not only come and go in accordance with reality, but also live joyfully, contentedly, and as you wish.
Moreover, one will encounter the descent of all auspicious blessings, akin to the living Buddha Tathagata and the living Buddha Tathagata. Such sublime conditions and causes will be achieved through one's own diligent efforts, and with virtuous and favorable karma, one will grow, elevate, and transcend—this is the true path!
A sublime cause brings forth the primordial assembly,  
All paths of the great Dao converge as one.
In this situation and environment, we grow;  
All auspiciousness returns to everyone.
With a contented heart, one returns to heaven; blessings, virtue, and wisdom must be increased.
Achieve a more authentic present moment, and the great Dao's true virtue extends its grace.
This verse is shared with all of you as mutual encouragement; it is also for the growth of all sentient beings and fellow Buddhists. Let this divine opportunity and auspicious connection serve as the beautiful and perfect conclusion of the thirty-sixth chapter of "The Great Path of Light." I also hope that you can further transcend and elevate yourselves. Thank you all for your companionship and efforts in this endeavor. May everything be auspicious and as you wish. Farewell, everyone!

##Void Ascendant—Homage to the Ancient Buddha of Void Virtue, Honored by Humans and Devas
讚引、頌賀、序言
The Western World, a Land of Ultimate Bliss  
Where literary grace and masterful brushstrokes shape the self
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to embrace sentient beings, together forming the structure of the series.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Dao Light Lord, the Immortal Buddha, and the Great Patriarch of our lineage—Namo Ancient Burning Lamp Buddha—have descended to compose the thirty-sixth chapter of *Great Dao Light*. This chapter expounds upon a sacred decree of "auspiciousness and fulfillment," further addressing why you must accompany and uphold this work.
It is truly an elevation through "staining the pure and purifying the stained," rather than being confined to the mundane world's "soiling the clean and staining the defiled." In this way, you can genuinely accumulate the energy body for QNA, thereby amassing what is complete. This is an era and space of achievement so rare that even across countless lifetimes, it would be difficult to encounter such an opportunity.
If one cannot comprehend that the entire process of writing is indeed bestowed by the divine immortals and buddhas from above, it is essential to collaborate with another immortal or buddha in the mortal realm to complete the work. Moreover, it requires the accumulation of innate wisdom and abundant resources to truly achieve richness and fulfillment. All virtuous disciples must understand this: how, then, can you uphold and support it?
And it is not merely about attending classes in the hall! Moreover, one must clearly understand that the QNA energy body is fully endowed—it is there to allow oneself to accumulate this extraordinary energy. To grasp all the intricacies within it is a great harvest for you. Everything is realized within this experience, but how? Can you comprehend it yourself? The choice is yours!

Namo to the Original Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha,  
Who formed the precious pearl of the Muni.
The Great Path, luminous and descending, guides the journey;  
It accomplishes the original spirit's virtuous intent and deeds.
Postscript I
The Great Way is luminous.
It is with the aspiration that sentient beings, the original spirits and disciples of the Buddha, may attain great virtue and grace as their foundation. Moreover, it is for the purpose of ascension and transcendence, hoping that through actions in the human world, one may achieve the accomplishments of a lifetime. It is essential to use one’s own thoughts and consciousness to eliminate all ignorance and obstacles within oneself.
Furthermore, taking the principles of human existence as a guide, it is essential to achieve a clear understanding of one's own thought structures, enabling a genuine grasp of "purification from defilement and defilement from purification." This serves as the foundational standard for integrating all orientations of human life. Therefore, for all original spirit Buddhas and disciples, it is possible to attain achievement, elevation, and transcendence within a single lifetime.
The Great Path Leads to a Bright Future
One must ensure that one's own actions and deeds can mutually contribute to personal growth and achievements, rather than being merely driven by the cycle of reincarnation from one lifetime to another! Therefore, it is essential to skillfully apply the necessities of human existence toward growth—this is the fundamental cause for sentient beings to live through the human path.
Through the accumulation of experiences from all learning processes, the "World of Light" fosters growth, which is the elevation of wisdom. This can certainly be realized as a bright future. Moreover, guided by the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, it serves as a foundation to lead and ferry the four hundred million original spirit Buddhas and disciples back to their origins and transcendence. This is truly a cause for celebration, admiration, and profound respect!
Namo to our original teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, who descended to the world.

Postscript: Part Two
The response of the Dao to transformation
It is precisely this natural process that nurtures all sentient original spirit Buddhas, enabling them to dissolve their own ignorance and obstacles. This is an essential journey, for in the human world, learning and growth accumulate experiences into knowledge. When the next challenge arises, one can easily overcome it by drawing upon the wisdom of past experiences.
It enables the smooth completion of a task, and through the repeated cycles of such experiences, a process is forged that leads to a bright and open path. Over thousands of years, human civilization has inherited and cultivated this through education. In the present era, it can be said that technological civilization has achieved remarkable advancements, yet it must still undergo continuous cycles of refinement and elevation.
The Function of Light
It can be said that the process of reaching the light is precisely the transformation of flawed human nature! With rich experience, combined with the study and inventive creation of the human world, as well as research and development from ancient times to the present era, we have long since moved beyond the shortcomings and deficiencies of the past. Much of this is due to the enlightenment bestowed from above.
Therefore, all technological civilizations, regardless of the changes of dynasties they undergo, must inevitably follow the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao. Only by doing so can all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children truly achieve the creation and invention of civilized technology, which in turn will bring genuine blessings to future generations—this is the righteous path!

Alas! In the new sacred site of the Chongxin Sect, to possess such foundations is sufficient proof that the selection process of the pillars of talent by Heaven is indeed correct. In the future, it will surely guide the ninety-two original spirits toward return and transcendence—this is truly genuine. I apologize for the trouble we have caused everyone at Chongxin for this time. Farewell, all!

Postscript III
The Witness of the Great Dao
Taking the human world as the central point, the human world itself is a primary nexus of existential necessity. It is capable of achieving all things and affairs through human effort, yet human action can also undermine all things and affairs—two sides of the same coin. In the grand propagation of the Dao, humanity serves as the foundation; it is through people that the Dao is carried forward.
Therefore, as the ancient saying goes: Heaven’s vast way is fundamentally rooted in humanity, and humanity’s vast way finds its purpose in action. From this ancient saying, it becomes clear that all deeds in the human world—whether achievements or destruction—are realized through human action. Moreover, all outcomes in human affairs depend on the correctness or error of human actions, leading respectively to ascent or decline.
The Act of Manifestation through Light
Furthermore, it is through the actions and deeds in the human world that all processes of existence are accomplished. This means that, regardless of any nation or religion, all are embraced with universal love under the vast heavens and earth. This is the fundamental original intent of the Divine. Therefore, all sentient beings and myriad forms of life can thrive in this space, each endowed with the right to exist.
Thus, the great virtue of Heaven further guides all sentient beings with light towards the grand education of the Dao's propagation, which is also the path of rectifying the origin. As for the revelation of the "Heavenly Texts of the Dao Series" authored by the Chongxin lineage, it has already been propagated across nations throughout the world, leaving traces and earning widespread acclaim.
Therefore, within a religious lineage, all forms of propagation and education serve to pass down educational and cultural heritage to future generations. In this way, all religions transmit the fundamental spirit of the Divine in this very manner! Amen!

How marvelous! The "Great Tao Series Celestial Books" of the Chongxin Sect lineage manifest the profound mysteries of the divine will within the mortal realm. This is not something ordinary individuals can achieve in revealing celestial secrets. Rather, it serves as the fundamental basis for the ascension and transcendence of all sentient beings and primordial spirits in this cosmic cycle. It is the source of nourishment bestowed by the divine will—truly commendable, praiseworthy, and worthy of encouragement!
In response: The Chongxin Sect, capable of establishing a new foundation with a fresh sacred site, is truly worthy of its genuine mission to propagate teachings in the future. We admire it! We congratulate it! Having spent some time with the Chongxin Sect, I am grateful for the companionship and collaborative efforts of all the virtuous disciples. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!

## The Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven, the Supreme Minister Zhuge
◆ Postfaces & Praises ◆
跋、凡例
The void and the real pass through the cosmos in the human realm;  
Whirling through the mundane world, there is no need for sorrow.
Those of highest virtue attain the Great Way,  
In the human realm, karma and sentiment are clearly perceived.
Editorial Principles
I. The Great Dao: It is precisely rooted in the fundamental original intent of the Supreme Heaven, and is also based on the dissemination of the Supreme Heaven's compassionate virtue and grace, which is then transformed into the foundation of education. This provides sentient beings with wholesome and favorable conditions, enabling them to grow, elevate, and transcend.
II. The Great Dao: It serves as the fundamental guide for humanity, capable of truly dispelling the ignorance and obstacles of all sentient beings. How can such conditions and causes be transmitted through an educational and cultural curriculum to guide the human world forward? It is essential to achieve this through learning and growth in the human realm.
III. The Great Dao: It is the accumulation of learning and growth experiences that becomes the source of knowledge. When encountering the next experience, one applies the reconstruction of previous accumulated experiences, thereby becoming a wise person who utilizes and expands upon them.
Fourth, The Luminous: It also exists through the Great Way: comfort, convenience, and universality, enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children in the mundane world to live by the principles of fairness and justice in the human realm!
V. The Illuminators: They are those who elevate contemporary technological civilization, and in the process of research and development, they achieve fulfillment through mutual enhancement. This represents the fulfillment of humanity's shared destiny, mutual support, and collective harmony among all sentient beings!
Six, The Illuminated: This is further based on the mutual benefit of yin and yang, and the shared covenant of heaven and earth. It is precisely on this foundation that both heaven and earth, yin and yang, can be jointly accomplished and harmonized. In this shared covenant, the manifestation of light is unobstructed, and it is also what the human world follows as its guiding principle.
VII. The Radiance of the Great Dao: Moreover, it is the will of the Heavenly Lord to continue the transmission of the Celestial Texts of the Lamp-Lighting Heart Method to the Chongxin Lineage, granting all sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha-children, the opportunity to attain enlightenment in this very moment and achieve Buddhahood in a single lifetime. This condition necessitates a thorough comprehension, wherein the purification and clarity of the "mind, thoughts, and consciousness" become the true nature of reality!
Eight. The Radiance of the Great Tao: It is to guide over 402 million sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha-children, through the internet, to understand the expansion of the Great Tao by the "Chongxin Lineage," which will certainly lead the Buddha-children of both the "Green and Red Yang" periods to return and transcend!
IX. The Radiance of the Great Dao: It is further by the grace of the Heavenly Sovereign that the Buddha-children who have descended in this cosmic cycle, after engaging in "research, invention, and creation," will not sink into the dark star of Earth. Through the guidance of the Chongxin lineage, they are enabled to return completely, precisely to the primary sources of sustenance in the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Cosmic Heaven. Thus, the propagation of the Chongxin Great Dao serves as the true path and foundation.
Ten. The Illuminated Works of the Great Dao: These shall serve as the primary foundation for guiding and propagating the teachings in the future, enabling genuine dissemination and fulfillment. Throughout the process of propagation and fulfillment, there shall be no distinction among "the Two Yangs of Green and Red, the borrowed generals," or any original spirits, Buddhas, or disciples—all are united in the transcendence and perfection of this primordial cycle!
Eleven. The Radiance of the Great Dao: Without distinction in authorship, distribution, explanation, or support in printing, its merits and fruits are extraordinary. All sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha-children may face the radiance of the Great Dao, meaning they may engage in accompanying, supporting printing, distributing, and explaining, thereby adding to its merits and fruits. The Heavens, considering the efforts devoted, bestow blessings, prosperity, wealth, and honor as grace and fulfillment.

Excellent! Thank you all for your hard work. Fellow scholars, your diligent efforts in accompanying the radiance of the Great Dao through this writing have borne fruit. All merits and achievements will be bestowed by Heaven! The book "The Radiance of the Great Dao" has been completed. On the sixteenth day of the Jia month in the Yiyou year, before the hall, we shall continue with the twentieth volume of the Great Dao series, the Celestial Book. We are grateful for Heaven's compassionate care.
Regarding the works of the Chongxin Dadao series, the diligent efforts and steadfast support of all virtuous students are truly commendable and praiseworthy, worthy of both celebration and encouragement! In all endeavors to propagate and guide, it is essential first to perfect oneself, and then to assist all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children in their return to the source. Under such conditions, there will arise favorable and virtuous causes and conditions for growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Another upcoming deadline is the completion and submission of the book *The Radiance of the Great Dao*, which will also take place before the altar of our lineage hall. We will present it to the **Sacred Decree of Wuji** and the **Jade Edict of Haotian**, offering gratitude for the heavenly grace and virtue that have enabled this accomplishment. Such a rare and auspicious opportunity is not an ordinary occurrence! Very well, thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

The Void Ascendant ascends the platform to deliver the words.
The Great Path's radiance completes the sacred texts,  
Transforming the universe with virtue's utmost reach.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings! Today marks the auspicious occasion of the completion and submission of the nineteenth volume of our sect's Great Dao series, "The Radiance of the Great Dao." It has been accomplished with the affirmation and praise bestowed upon the Chongxin Sect, for which we are deeply grateful for the grace of Heaven and the virtues of our teachers. All the celestial texts in the Great Dao series serve to benefit all sentient beings among humanity.
Respectfully receiving the Sacred Decree of the Wuji descending upon the hall: Command is given to dispatch from our lineage the Celestial Worthy of Golden Brush of Void Wisdom, the Celestial Worthy of Great Dao of Silver Brush of the Void, and the Celestial Worthy of Void Phoenix Soaring to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree thirty li away; Command is given to dispatch from our lineage the Immortal Maiden of Void Spiritual Assembly, the Immortal Maiden of Void Spiritual Intention, and the Immortal Maiden of Void Spiritual Communion to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree twenty li away and bring it to the hall; 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 decorum!

Dong Shuangcheng Arrives to Proclaim the Sacred Edict.
The Immortal Maiden, bearing her mother's command, descended to guide with a heart of virtue and sincere intent.
By imperial decree, the sacred edict from the Wuji descends upon the hall to be proclaimed. All deities and mortals bow in reverence!
Edict is hereby promulgated.
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Celestial Principle, contemplating without ceasing wise strategies to guide and nurture the ninety-six original souls descending to the mortal world, offering them heavenly opportunities for growth and ascension. Yet, time and again, genuine efficacy and tangible results have been difficult to achieve, causing the Mother’s heart to grieve to the utmost, her tears overflowing.
Now, at the Mother's Heart Taoyuan Yichongxin Hall in Taiwan, since its establishment in the year of Bingzi to the present day, we have consistently authored the true principles and teachings: the Dadao series of heavenly books. Now, the nineteenth volume of the Dadao series, "The Radiance of the Great Dao," has been completed. This is the Mother's Heart bestowing virtue upon the mortal realm, enabling the ninety-two original spirits to return and transcend.
At this point, the Mother’s heart, taking the present descent of the Blue and Red Yang periods as a great opportunity to guide four billion Buddha-children back, has thus promulgated the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series based on the true principles. This genuinely assists the Mother’s heart in guiding the return and growth of the ninety-two original souls, truly bringing the Mother’s heart joy and delight, and also profound consolation!
Now! The nineteenth volume of the Dadao series—Dadao Guangming—has been completed and submitted as decreed. This fully demonstrates that the Mother’s benevolent decree to Chongxin Hall, along with unwavering determination, has fulfilled the expectations of the Mother’s heart. Being able to accomplish this time and again truly deserves reward. By imperial command, Shuangcheng Xiangu has been dispatched to bring two jugs of Wuji Qiongjiang to be added to the tea of Chongxin Hall.
The divine beings and spiritual disciples of the Chongxin lineage, having participated in the arduous task of composing the Radiant Works of the Great Dao, shall each be granted three thousand merits. Those who have shown full diligence shall receive them in full, while those who have contributed less than half shall receive half. This is to honor the toil expended in propagating the Great Dao, and to commend the sages and buddhas of Chongxin for their unwavering diligence and courage in nurturing and perfecting the teachings, as well as for fostering the growth of the primordial spiritual disciples who have descended to the mortal realm.
Four hundred million Buddha disciples and the borrowed talents of over two million have gathered and returned. Their unwavering determination to accomplish each sacred mission time and again truly brings joy to the Mother's heart and fulfills Her deepest hopes. In recognition of their devout hearts, each deity and Buddha is granted merits: a promotion of three ranks to reward their diligent efforts, with the hope that they will continue to strengthen their resolve and strive to complete all sacred missions.
Likewise, the dedication and sacrifice of Li Bi and Ling'er deserve special commendation for their exceptional contributions. The wisdom and sacrifice of Hall Master Lin, along with his protection of Ling'er, are also worthy of special praise. Such noble aspirations are commendable. May they once again forge an even greater and more enduring legacy, guiding all concerned souls back to the embrace of the Mother, as she anxiously awaits their return. This is our earnest hope! Our earnest hope!

On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the year Yiyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of Xu.
Aha! The decree has been proclaimed. Congratulations to the sacred site of the lineage of the Immortal Maiden and her sisterhood, esteemed and cherished by Heaven and the Celestial Mother! Thank you all for your diligent efforts. I shall now swiftly return to the Heavenly Court to report the completion of this mission. Until we meet again!
The Lord of Literary Balance, the Sacred Emperor, has arrived,  
Arranged by Heaven at the Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary.
The Great Path shines brightly, reaching up to the heavens,  
Guiding and transforming all beings, carrying their spirits forward.
Today marks the auspicious occasion of the completion and submission of the nineteenth volume of the Great Dao series, "The Radiance of the Great Dao," for our Chongxin Lineage. It is also a time to honor all deities and practitioners of the Chongxin Lineage for their unwavering dedication, consistently fulfilling the divine will of Heaven through their writings.
It is the affirmation of this divine opportunity and auspicious connection for the Chongxin Lineage, acknowledging the collective efforts of all the immortals and Buddhas within this lineage, as well as the dedication of all virtuous disciples, who together have accomplished the guidance of this cosmic cycle, enabling the return and attainment of four hundred million sentient beings.
Just now, we reverently received the Sacred Decree of the Wuji, and subsequently welcomed the Jade Edict of Haotian to the hall. It has been commanded that the Second and Third Guan Sheng Emperors (Wenheng Sheng Emperor) of the Wuji, along with the City God Emperor of the Wuji, shall be dispatched to a distance of twenty li to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of Haotian and bring it to the hall for proclamation.
By decree, the following from our lineage are dispatched: the Wuji Goddess of Birth Registration, the Wuji Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, and the Wuji Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, to respectfully receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven at ten li beyond, and bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, the cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and all virtuous students shall line up in order to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum.
The decree of the vast heavens is bestowed upon the reverent heart;  
The virtuous intent of the golden palace overflows with profound compassion.
Prime Minister Zhuge descends with the Jade Decree,  
Welcomed by the sacred heart's Jade Edict.
By imperial decree of the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, this sacred edict descends upon the Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary, before which both deities and mortals bow in reverence!
The Jade Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully received.
The Great Heavenly Sovereign, the Supreme Emperor of Mysterious Divinity, proclaims by the Jade Decree:
As the supreme ruler of the Nine and Five, I have established religious, educational, and cultural curricula for all nations of Jambudvīpa, grounded in the teachings propagated by the Confucian school and the sacred gate. This is to guide the sentient beings of the Nine and Two original spirits to return and achieve completion. Yet, each time decrees are issued to carry out the sacred task of salvation, those that truly yield efficacy are rare! This indeed causes Us deep concern.
This scripture, upon the recommendation of the Southern Heaven’s Sovereign, the Literary Judge Emperor Guan Ping, has been disseminated through the "Da Dao" series of heavenly texts by the Yi Chi Chong Xin lineage in Taoyuan, Taiwan. It has already demonstrated numerous efficacies and tangible achievements. Therefore, in the future, it will surely guide and fulfill the return of all sentient beings to their original spirits, which truly brings Us comfort and heartfelt joy.
This is a testament to the unwavering dedication and commitment of all deities and practitioners of the Yichong Chongxin lineage, who have spared no effort in their writing, ensuring that each volume is completed without delay and that the celestial texts are published and disseminated for the benefit of all. In every aspect, they have embodied the principle of "faithful application" to achieve perfection. This is a recognition and praise for all that Chongxin has accomplished, culminating now in the completion and presentation of the nineteenth volume of the Great Dao series, *The Radiance of the Great Dao*.
It is only fitting to reward the devoted deities, Buddhas, and students for their diligence and steadfast dedication. Each shall be granted three thousand major merits, with full attendance required to receive the full amount. Those with less than half attendance shall receive half the reward, and so forth, in proportion to their commitment to reverence and perseverance. By aligning with the true principles and receiving the educational teachings bestowed by Heaven’s virtuous grace, they shall find a future path of reliance, embodying authenticity in its truest form!
Such steadfast resolve is commendable and praiseworthy, and may it also serve as encouragement.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystic Spirit, proclaims the Jade Decree.
The Sacred Teachings of the Confucian School,  
The True Heart-Dharma of the Buddha,  
The Great Dao Court of the Wuji,  
The Chongxin Hall, Reverently Established by Divine Decree.
On the ninth day of the eleventh month in the year Yiyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of Xu.
The imperial decree has been fully promulgated, truly a cause for celebration, commendation, and encouragement! Regarding the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series from the Chongxin lineage, they elucidate the mysteries of heaven and earth, and through their promulgation and composition, they serve as a testament to the boundless compassion of the Heavenly Lord. We are deeply grateful to all. I shall now swiftly return to the Heavenly Court to report the completion of this decree, and will visit again another day to seek your guidance. Thank you all for your hard work!
Grateful for the boundless rewards bestowed,  
We bow in thanks to the vast heavens for honoring our merits.
All spirits and men revere the divine and obey its commands;  
With steadfast will, they achieve voyages across the four seas.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, students, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the rewards bestowed by the Wuji Heavenly Mother and the merits commended by the Haotian Jade Emperor serve as both affirmation of Chongxin's dedication and praise for its steadfast resolve. Through each cycle and every return, regardless of any difficulties or obstacles encountered, all tasks have been completed punctually, time and again.
It is the affirmation of the trust and achievements bestowed by Heaven, and as such, Heaven has not been sparing in granting merits and rewards to the Chongxin lineage. This is a divine opportunity and rare affinity that only our Chongxin possesses. Later, we shall kneel before the hall to give thanks for the grace of Heaven and the virtues of our teachers, and express gratitude to the Eternal Celestial Mother and the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven for the merits they have bestowed.
