The Lord of the Southern Heavens descends in grace,  
The Sage Emperor Wenheng arranges heavenly virtue.
The Grand Chairperson of the Chongxin Taoist Center respectfully receives the Sacred Decree and announces its promulgation.
Respectfully receiving the sacred decree and the jade edict, which have been promulgated and made known.
Today marks another auspicious and extraordinary occasion for the Chongxin Sect, as we once again receive the sacred decree to propagate the "Dadao Series of Celestial Books" in their entirety. We are truly grateful for the divine affirmation from Heaven regarding all the teachings and education imparted by Chongxin. It can be said that these efforts have genuinely borne fruit and achieved their intended purpose. Now, as this auspicious moment has arrived, we reverently welcome the sacred decree from the Wuji realm to be proclaimed within our hall.
It is decreed that from our lineage, the Celestial Venerables of Soaring Dragon, Soaring Phoenix, and Governing Law in the Void shall respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji at a distance of twenty-five li. Further, it is decreed that from our lineage, the Immortal Maidens of Colorful Crane, Colorful Blossom, and Colorful Spirit in the Void shall respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and escort it to the hall from a distance of fifteen li. All other deities, Buddhas, disciples, and the cultivating fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Institute shall line up in formation to respectfully welcome and await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum.
Before the Throne of the Infinite, Ma Xiangu
The Wuji Decree descends upon Chongxin,  
Before the carriage, serving the Mother with virtuous affection.
Deputy Chairperson of the Chongxin Taoist Center, Immortal Ma, leads the ceremonial reception of the sacred decree.
By imperial decree, the sacred edict of the Wuji descends to the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, proclaiming its divine will. Both deities and mortals bow in reverence.
Imperial Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully received.
The Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, holding hope for all her children in the mortal world that one day they may ride upon the truth to expand its influence, elevating their ability to transform all ignorance and obstacles. This entails bringing down the many celestial revelations into the earthly realm, especially ensuring that all aspects of human existence function in harmony with the natural order of survival.
If one cannot achieve a comfortable and secure existence, it will directly affect the distinction between "daily life and spiritual practice." Thus, the Sacred Mother, in her compassion for all religious disciples who aspire to ascend and transcend, earnestly hopes that they may return early to the Limitless Heavenly Realm, behold her countenance, and thereby achieve elevation and transcendence upon their return.
Today in Taiwan, the Chongxin Hall of the Mother's Sacred Heart, established in the year of Bingzi, has now gradually entered its tenth year. Throughout this period, sacred decrees have frequently descended upon Chongxin Hall. In the compilation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," each volume has been completed according to schedule, never delaying the dates set by Heaven. Moreover, the works have been faithfully finished and submitted as decreed.
Now that the twentieth volume of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" has been completed, I am truly moved by the efforts and unwavering dedication of all the divine beings and children of the Chongxin lineage. This also allows us to fulfill our responsibility to Heaven. My heart is greatly comforted. I hereby bestow the twenty-first volume of the Dadao Series Celestial Books, titled "Dadao Tiandi" (The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth), upon Chongxin for its continuation.
The decree appoints the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara as the principal immortals and buddhas, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as accompanying immortals and buddhas. Upon receipt of this decree, the work shall commence immediately and be completed at the earliest opportunity, so that future generations of sentient beings may cross over with more abundant resources and provisions, benefiting both themselves and all sentient children.
It is also encouraging to see that Li Er can consistently connect with the mother's heart, achieving the noble mission of spreading teachings, which is truly moving and commendable. Moreover, he is able to extend the truths of heaven and earth to the human world, bringing comfort to the weary and guiding all original souls to return.
Diligently and courageously, without slack or neglect. Complete the task early, and rewards will follow.

The Imperial Mother of the Wuji issues a sacred decree at
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha Heart School, the Great Dao Court of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall Bestowed by Divine Decree.
On the fourteenth day of the fifth lunar month in the year Bingxu of the Tianyun cycle, at the hour of Xu.
Excellent! Congratulations to our lineage for once again receiving the affirmation and praise of the Wuji Huangmu. This truly brings great joy to Chongxin. As your teacher, I also feel immense honor. Due to time constraints, I must now swiftly return to Wuji to deliver my report. You have all worked hard. Farewell for now.
The Venerable Void
Void's karma arises early in life,  
Turning through the world to save the lost and confused.
The highest virtue compels one to practice goodness,  
For all human teachings are accomplished together.
Today marks another auspicious occasion in the Chongxin Sect’s Great Tao series of celestial texts, as we reverently receive the sacred decree of the Wuji and the imperial edict of the Haotian Jade Emperor. This truly brings comfort and celebration to the Chongxin Sect. Indeed, it is through the united efforts and shared dedication of all virtuous disciples in propagating the Great Tao that genuine merit and the resources for growth are accumulated. The sacred decree of the Wuji has just been reverently received and fully proclaimed.
Continuing further, the Heavenly Jade Decree was promulgated at the hall. The order was given to dispatch from our lineage the Infinite Great Strength Bodhisattva, the Infinite Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the Infinite Goddess of Childbirth to respectfully receive the Heavenly Jade Decree fifteen li away. Additionally, the order was given to dispatch from our lineage the Infinite Venerable King Guangze, the Infinite Emperor Wenchang, and the Infinite True Lord Siming to respectfully receive the Heavenly Jade Decree five li away. All other deities, Buddhas, virtuous disciples, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Infinite Great Dao Institute were arranged in formation to await the arrival.
Imperial Commissioner, Prime Minister Zhuge
The August Heaven's envoy descends from on high,  
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang unfolds the decree.
The Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary is truly extraordinary,  
Each period's writings arrange the Great Dao in order.
By imperial decree, the Heavenly Jade Edict descends upon the Chongxin Hall to be proclaimed, as gods and mortals bow in reverence.
The Jade Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully Received
The Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, proclaims His divine decree as the Mysterious and Exalted Supreme Sovereign of Heaven.
I, the supreme sovereign, hold that all religions in the mortal realm should inherit and pass down education and moral guidance as part of the human world. Now that we have entered an era of technological civilization, I hope that all disciples within religions can seize the opportunities of the present time to enhance the comfort and convenience of human life for all.
Now, we have the sacred site of the lineage of Lord Guan, the Southern Heaven's Arbiter of Literature and Sage Emperor in Taiwan, to receive the decree and compose the celestial texts of the Great Dao series. To date, a total of twenty volumes have been completed, truly making Us deeply admire the unwavering determination of Chongxin, which is unparalleled. Moreover, in each period and every volume composed, there has been no delay, postponement, or omission.
Through this decade-long journey, one can witness the utmost sincerity towards Heaven being upheld and promoted, which is also a source of pride for Heaven. It is precisely the devotion of all deities and disciples of the Chongxin lineage, who with unwavering resolve have fulfilled Heaven’s mission of spreading its teachings. Moreover, such sincerity serves as a model that benefits the "Confucian School of Sacred Teachings."
My heart is greatly pleased. It is fitting to inscribe the cover of the twenty-first volume of the Dadao series with the title: "Dadao Heaven and Earth." In relation to the human world, this signifies that "Heaven and Earth are the Dadao," connecting all extraordinary affinities as "the Heaven and Earth of Dadao" within the mortal realm, thereby bestowing virtue and blessings upon all sentient beings through this great affinity.
By decree, the primary deities appointed are the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea and the Ancient Buddha Dipankara, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as accompanying deities. Upon receipt of this edict, the work shall commence without delay, unrestricted by time, to be completed at the earliest opportunity. This is to propagate the virtues and grace of the Great Dao, offering compassion to all sentient beings in heaven and on earth, and to achieve their welfare as the ultimate aim.
Within the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, all who are steadfast in their resolve to propagate and transform shall bring the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" to completion. This will enable the Jambudvipa continent to attain technological civilization, genuinely elevating it—such is Our grand aspiration! Thus shall it benefit the technological civilization of the human world.

A bountiful harvest of grains protects all living beings; Shennong tasted a hundred herbs to give them life.
The great emperor's virtue nourishes all living beings;  
Sincere hearts arise in celebration and encouragement.
Preface
The Supreme Dao, the Sublime Essence of Heaven and Earth
It is through the mutual verification of technological civilizations, and without deviating from the inheritance among the cosmos, the void, the Wuji, and the Haotian, that we comprehend the evolutionary processes of heaven and earth. This involves mutual governance and interconnection within the framework of the cosmos, allowing us to understand how the human world has achieved fulfillment through countless cycles of evolution.
To understand that the human world is inherited through evolution, progress, and creation is to possess the driving force for future elevation. This is because the Divine employs evolution to achieve the fulfillment of all things, thereby connecting all nations and religions within the human world, as well as all endeavors undertaken by humanity.
The virtue and grace of the great Dao pervade heaven and earth.
Furthermore, it is through the genuine realization of infinite creation that the 21st century has been shaped and evolved by technological civilization. Its virtuous influence is bestowed upon the human world, and it is only through one's own cultivation that transcendence and return can be achieved, embodying true authenticity. Moreover, this celestial opportunity and rare affinity have taken over ten thousand years on the planet Diming to culminate in such a destined occasion!
Whether it can be cherished and applied depends entirely on the choices made by human factors. The future will be shaped by learning from growth and failure, serving as the foundation for further transformation and refinement. This is precisely what is demonstrated by "reaching others through oneself," and it is called authenticity. In this way, all favorable conditions and virtuous causes can be elevated, growing upward and transcending.
The Great Emperor Shennong, Divine Lord of the Five Grains, bestows this preface.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddha, the Great Dao Hall of the Ultimate, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
An auspicious day in the fifth month of the lunar year, Bingxu, under the celestial cycle.
How touching! I truly feel immense pride and affirmation for the Chongxin lineage. To be able to compose the great karmic teachings of the "Dadao Series" celestial texts, especially within the human realm, is indeed unparalleled in the world!
It is essential to cherish and strive diligently, for in the future, the lineage of Chongxin will surely spread its teachings across the vast universe and the world. This is a cause for joy, celebration, commendation, and encouragement! Thank you all for your hard work and for taking the time to gather at Chongxin to discuss the future. Until we meet again!
Hongjun Laozu
Before the primal chaos was divided into yin and yang,  
All were the Buddha’s children descending from the heavens above.
The elder's words are a true treasure;  
Ancestral praise descends to navigate heaven and earth.
Praise
The Great Dao is the foundation of all that exists.
It is precisely through the extraordinary nourishment of spontaneous action that, from the perspective of the mundane world, it becomes a world of sentient spirituality and a world of true reality. Without distinguishing the great moral grace and separating all evolutionary processes of heaven and earth, it can certainly accomplish the human world, providing abundant resources and sustenance.
Created through human agency, it is intended to acquire and benefit, granting all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of the Earthly Dark Star the rights and benefits for nurturing life. It further applies the evolutionary functions of heaven and earth, enabling all human beings to enjoy greater comfort, convenience, and accessibility. By providing conditions for nurturing life through technological civilization, it facilitates growth.
Heaven and Earth respond to and transform within the human world.
It is through the human world that the great cause of nurturing life is cultivated and learned. One must also understand that within this nurturing of life, it encompasses the growth of experience, knowledge, and wisdom. Without the application of such experience, knowledge, and wisdom, how could it be passed down to future generations, enduring endlessly? Strive diligently!

頌   賀
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth
The entirety of life's processes in the human world is precisely an integration of beliefs in existence and the transmission of education, within which many aspects can be elevated within human society. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, this tradition has been passed down to each new generation: education and cultivation follow timeless principles that have endured through the ages.
Through human agency, one can achieve transcendence and ascension, yet it is also a continuous cycle of descent and rebirth that brings fulfillment. Within the Great Dao, this evolution bestows profound virtue and grace, thereby accomplishing the enlightenment of all sentient beings and primordial spiritual Buddhas. It directs all forms of blessings downward, elevating and transcending the human world in the 21st century.
All evolutions of heaven and earth
Furthermore, the five-thousand-year history of the Yan and Huang descendants in the Central Plains serves as evidence. In truth, if we consider the world before the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, which was established during this cosmic cycle, it has already undergone over thirty thousand years of development. It can be said that this era was precisely shaped by the influence of cosmic stellar civilizations upon the Earthly Star.
Therefore, it can be understood that the evolution of the heavens, earth, and star systems, which has been accomplished within this cosmic cycle and at this opportune moment, also serves to elevate the "spirit, body, and mind" of all sentient beings. By transcending these three aspects, one can benefit oneself as well as all compassionate human beings, leading to genuine growth and enhancement of goodness.

讚頌序言又一次　　大道天地德澤真
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the true forms of the Ancient Sage Hongjun, the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning, and the Great Emperor Shennong have descended to the Chongxin Sect. They have come to offer congratulations, encouragement, and a preface for the work "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth," which serves as an affirmation and commendation for all the Saints and Buddhas of the Chongxin Sect.
It is Chongxin, through a decade of time, who has demonstrated great sincerity towards the Heavenly Realm and served as its steadfast pillar. Thus, it is the Heavenly Realm that can trust and look up to the lineage of the Great Dao, which is:
Let us all come together, aligning our hearts with the divine.  
With all sages united in bearing the mission,  
We shall propagate the teachings and open the way between heaven and earth.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement shared by all the divine beings, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin. It affirms that all the efforts of the Chongxin lineage have been recognized by the Heavens. In the future, this will guide and fulfill all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, enabling them to return and transcend, granting them even more sublime celestial opportunities and virtuous conditions for growth.
Tomorrow marks another auspicious occasion for guidance, hoping that all students can come to fulfill their potential. In the path of humanity, it is essential to accumulate the experience of personal growth and learning, for that is the true nature of things. Moreover, life itself is the foundation of all learning, and this remains true regardless of time or place.
Because life is an unceasing journey of learning and growth, only through this can we, in the future, roam freely through the void and transcend the boundless celestial realms. Let us encourage each other with this thought. Thank you all for your companionship and hard work in creating this work. Farewell.

Chapter Five: Principles of Social Order and Moral Virtues
第七回　 道德建基
July 21, 2006, the twenty-sixth day of the sixth lunar month in the year of Bingxu (Friday)
◆ Postfaces & Praises ◆
讚頌序言又一次　　大道天地德澤真
Namo, the scriptures that unfold the great path,  
The heart-dharma of Dipamkara shines with pure light.
The ancient Buddha first established the foundation of heaven and earth;  
Heaven and earth unfold according to this fundamental principle.
◆ Main Text ◆
第一回　 天地演義
The Fundamental Process of Heaven and Earth
The Dadao Series Perspective: The origin of all writings lies in the compassionate intent to guide all sentient primordial spirit disciples of the Earthly Nether Star System, who are experiencing life in the human realm as integrated beings, enabling them to embark on a process of renewal and elevation within technological civilization. This is fundamentally rooted in the great virtue and benevolence bestowed upon these sentient primordial spirit disciples as their ultimate refuge.
It bestows the boundless resources of heaven and earth, and further provides all technological civilizations of the cosmic galaxies. Moreover, it descends to elevate through the function of "borrowing talents" from civilizations, serving as the fundamental essence for nurturing life for all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples living on the terrestrial star of the Southern Continent. It also enables their survival orientation to genuinely achieve elevation and transcendence.
Moreover, with the arrival of the Earthly Nether Star! In the vastness of heaven and earth, there are numerous original spirit Buddhas and disciples, and even countless sentient beings of all things, who together participate in and contribute to the mutual integration of the Earthly Nether Star. It is the special sacred duty and mission bestowed by the Heavens upon the Earthly Nether Star, using this cosmic cycle to advance the technological civilization of the Earthly Nether Star system, thereby further elevating technological civilization.
The fundamental action of creating civilization originates from the mutual fulfillment among the void, the infinite, and the heavenly expanse. This facilitates the entry of all sentient original spirit Buddha-children into the propagation through telecommunication and video transmission. This, in turn, is built upon the basic framework of telecommunication and video transmission, further advancing the essential mission that contemporary technological civilization ought to undertake.
Heaven and earth are the foundation of human existence.
It is a benevolent grace of creative evolution bestowed upon all sentient beings and Buddha-nature disciples. Through the divine intervention of Heaven, the ignorance and confusion of the past are dissolved, while the evolutionary effects brought forth by advanced technological civilization are granted. This enables all sentient beings and living souls on the Earth Star to attain virtuous conditions of good karma, ascending, growing, and transcending to higher realms.
Even when considering the Earthly Nether Star alone, within the Earthly Nether Star system, the four great elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—still exist. These four elements provide sentient beings in the human world with the causes and conditions for ascension and transcendence, while simultaneously serving as the fundamental obstacles that hinder such ascension and transcendence. Yet, sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s disciples, may wonder why the Heavens would operate in such a manner.
This causal condition necessitates a clear understanding that the underworld star signifies a world of mutual opposition, which is also the world of the human path that endures suffering, and is further constrained by the "sun, moon, stars, and constellations." In terms of religion, the "grace of heaven and earth that shelters and supports" is both mutually fulfilling and mutually limiting, which again presents a contradiction.
Thus, all the evolutionary virtues and blessings of heaven and earth are aimed at resolving such contradictions. In human existence, there are distinctions between the sun and the moon, and these distinctions manifest in the functions of the sun and the moon. This is also described through the two principles of Qian and Kun. Such is the case in the human world, where there exist only the distinctions between Qian and Kun, and between male and female.
Beyond heaven and earth, there remain the sun, moon, and stars.
Within this, it is precisely the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars that is bestowed upon the human world, granting the illuminating brilliance of the sun and moon's essence. Furthermore, the sun, moon, and stars can be distinguished between day and night. From this distinction arise two states: one of active power and the other of tranquil rest, both born from these two conditions.
Furthermore, by using the sun and moon as references, we can differentiate and understand all units of measurement in the human world. It also becomes possible to comprehend how each moment, each hour, each day, each month, and each year are interconnected and mutually fulfilled. If viewed through the lens of the dual principles of yin and yang in the human realm, sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas should be able to grasp this understanding.
Furthermore, what is the function and role of the mutual restraint and mutual generation, as well as the mutual completion, between yin and yang? It is precisely what is referred to as the evolution of all things in the underworld star. Moreover, through the benevolent grace bestowed by Heaven, humanity is provided with abundant resources and nourishment, offering opportunities for learning and growth within the civilization and technology of the 21st century.
Entering the 21st century, this is merely the beginning for the Diming Star System. Everything remains in a phase of exploration and evolutionary learning, striving for improvement through repeated cycles of refinement. Imperfections and flaws in quality must undergo successive rounds of revision and transformation to achieve genuine enhancement and superior quality.
The foundation of this narrative encompasses all living beings and myriad creatures.
This is the reason why the heavens have initiated the enhancement and construction project for the Earthly Nether Star System. It is led by the Southern Heaven Star System and assisted by the Northern Heaven Star System, thereby fostering mutual support among the Eastern, Western, and Central Heavenly Realms. This complementary relationship further provides the cosmic heavenly realms with the ability to borrow talents from all extraterrestrial star systems in the outer space.
Within this, it becomes clear that for the planet Diming, it is possible to truly reach a rich world created by technological civilization; having undergone the evolutionary education of all religions, it transcends the basic framework and ascends, granting all original spirit Buddhas and disciples across the vast universe the opportunity to grow and find refuge through this cosmic cycle. This benefits both oneself and all sentient beings.
It is through the humanistic world that education and enlightenment are passed down, enabling mutual cooperation while being shaped by the advancements of civilization and technology. Through repeated cycles of quality refinement, flawed and substandard elements are elevated, guided by the eugenic principles of high-tech civilization, driving the evolution of all aspects of the humanistic world.
It also provides the civilization of the human world, which is the benevolent grace of Heaven, and is the foundational framework for growth jointly established by the Heavenly Court, the Infinite, and the Void. However, it has taken nearly a hundred years to reach this level of elevation. As for why such a framework is necessary for the elevation of the human world, it remains profoundly difficult to comprehend.
The adaptation can benefit sentient beings.
It is precisely for the other cosmic galaxies, of which there are still over 400 million: undeveloped, not yet developed, developed, and under development as demonstration models, that regulations have been established. These are accomplished according to the principles set forth by the Heavenly Sovereign, the Wuji, and the Void Celestial Realm, aimed at enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children of Jambudvīpa, regardless of any nation, to ascend and progress.
One might think that Jambudvipa is merely a corner of the Diming Star, but in fact, this is not the case. The Diming Star system, which belongs to the solar system of the Milky Way galaxy, is referred to as the space of "Jambudvipa." Considering the entire cosmic system of galaxies, there are far too many realms akin to Jambudvipa, differing only in name while being essentially the same.
Moreover, for all the Buddha's disciples of the Earthly Dark Star who come to observe, even after entering into religion, it remains difficult to comprehend the entire evolutionary function of the cosmos. Thus, it is through the initiation of the Third Epoch by the Heavenly Sovereign that creation is bestowed, enabling sentient beings to truly understand what has been accomplished for the Earthly Dark Star System, and to elevate through these over two billion light-years of time.
Current technology benefits all humanity.
Furthermore, in the current era, the time for mutual communication with outer space has not yet arrived. It will require at least another century of evolution within the Diming star system before true mutual exchange of signals with extraterrestrial star systems can be achieved. While the future holds the potential to initiate such communication with outer space, it remains merely a beginning.
Not yet established, there is a broader reception of technological civilization, desiring to understand it in conjunction with the entire cosmic galaxy. It will be created and evolved by what is referred to as the Earthly Obscure Star, using this as the foundation for future technology, and propelling it toward the cosmic world. By borrowing over two million high-tech talents, step by step, it will be fully realized, thus achieving authenticity.
In the elevation of evolution for this cosmic cycle, it is essential to rectify all past flaws and imperfections within this era. If such corrections cannot be made, the same detrimental effects as those in the first and second cosmic cycles will recur. This contradicts the fundamental intent of Heaven and greatly hinders the process of evolution.
Heaven and Earth unfold all creation.
Thus, it becomes clear that the propagation of the Great Tao provides the true evolution and creation of all things in heaven and earth for elevation, offering widespread comfort and convenience, and also enabling the human world to truly receive the great virtues and compassion of Heaven. However, those celestial immortals and Buddhas who share deep karmic connections with the Earthly Nether Star will inevitably descend to the Earthly Nether Star System to mutually achieve fulfillment.
This is the virtuous grace jointly created by the celestial immortals and Buddhas, who united their hearts and efforts throughout this cosmic cycle. It may also be said that those who share a profound karmic connection with the Earthly Nether Star System will inevitably gather to collectively accomplish the supreme evolution of this cosmic cycle ordained by Heaven. This continuation of immense blessed virtue for sentient beings of the present era also brings benefit to all living beings.
Moreover, it lies in the fact that the Void, the Boundless, and the Heavenly Sovereign, in response to this great cause, mutually collaborate to fulfill the human world. This will also lead to the gradual achievement of all technological civilizations. Furthermore, for all sentient beings with compassion, every virtuous and favorable cause will continuously grow, elevate, and transcend. Yet, most people lack awareness of this concept.
Opening the great karmic cause of the universe,  
Thus is the Earthly Nether Star System revealed.
Technology shapes the future,  
Blessing all with virtue anew.
The supreme Dao, the source of heaven and earth, returns;  
The Ancient Buddha Dipamkara descends to join the gathering.
Initiating the noble cause of revering the heart, the multitude of virtues returns to the Great Dao series.
This verse is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children to encourage one another! In the first chapter of the work on the Great Dao and the universe, the overall structure of this heavenly book is also intended to provide all students of the Chongxin lineage with genuine insight. It further demonstrates how the evolution of heaven and earth accomplishes the selfless protection of the Great Dao. Thank you all for your hard work and heartfelt companionship in this endeavor. May all be auspicious. Farewell for now.
The Sage Emperor of the Two Passes, Wuji
From the boundless cause and condition descended,  
The Holy Emperor of Two Passes ascends the platform to preside.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
As heaven and earth evolve with the true grace of virtue.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Grand Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namo Dipamkara, has descended to compose this work. This marks the first installment of the "Great Tao Universe" series, authored by the immortal Buddhas, which elucidates the evolution of heaven and earth. It serves as a true testament to the technological civilization of the Diming Star System, offering guidance for creation and evolution.
All deities and students of the Chongxin lineage are provided the opportunity to gradually comprehend the mysteries of the universe. Such celestial opportunities and auspicious connections, without the sacred texts authored by the Chongxin lineage, would make it truly difficult to gain clarity on the holistic evolution of the cosmos. Everyone should consider themselves fortunate to be able to enter and learn within what is today the foremost institution of knowledge, for both study and personal growth.
In the educational and cultural curriculum of the Celestial Books, this lineage can offer all its deities, Buddhas, students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy insights into the profound mysteries of celestial secrets that are often difficult to comprehend in other religious or spiritual settings. Through the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," boundless benefits will be gained in their analysis and understanding.
Moreover, it has initiated an understanding of the "Creator of Cosmic Life"—precisely the Chongxin Sect. In light of such extraordinary conditions and a rare, opportune celestial chance, it is uncertain whether all disciples of the Chongxin Sect can cherish and strive diligently. They must act with utmost care and dedication, so as not to waste this single lifetime in the human world.

第二回　 大道玄奇
The transformative operations of the Great Dao
Taking the evolution of heaven and earth as the main theme, one can understand why the primordial spirits of humanity must descend to the Dim Star for nurturing life, and what the reasons for this are. Why must they undergo all the trials of the human world to achieve elevation? Could it be that without passing through the Dim Star, no accomplishment is possible? Moreover, there are simply no karmic connections with other star systems.
It is precisely the sentient original spirit Buddhas and disciples who often raise the key questions: Can we understand why we must undergo such trials to elevate the primary causes and conditions? Could it be that other star systems and galaxies lack the same functions and effects? Must we survive on Earth Star to experience the creation and mutual support of this star system?
In this context, all original spirit disciples of the Buddha have the potential to ascend and transcend, yet there also exists the distinction of descending into the cycle of reincarnation. When the multitude of sentient original spirit disciples of the Buddha descend into the Earthly Star to nurture life within the human world, it is essential to understand that this very process distinguishes between the possibility of ascending to transcendence and the risk of falling into the cycle of reincarnation.
It is precisely through the differentiation and interplay of these two that the situation of yin and yang intersecting is brought about for the Earthly Nether Star itself. Consider: all contrasts—heaven and earth, sun and moon, stars, yin and yang, qian and kun, male and female, good and evil, right and wrong, ○ and Ｘ, correct and incorrect—are all mutually relative, thus making absoluteness difficult to achieve.
The Fundamental of Dao Evolution
It is to allow sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas to seize this opportune cause and condition, to immerse themselves in the Earthly Nether Star System for greater growth rather than greater obstacles. This is the complementary role bestowed by the Heavenly Providence upon all living beings. It is also essential to understand that only through the mutual interaction of the Earthly Nether Star, the sun, and the moon can the cycles of day and night be measured.
To comprehend is to account for the dimensions of time, space, and causality—including years, months, days, and hours—in a manner that aligns with the functional dynamics of the vast cosmos. This understanding must serve the necessities of human existence and form the foundation of daily life. However, without striving for upward advancement, one merely drifts between mediocrity and decline.
Furthermore, only after undergoing growth and learning within the human world can one establish the capacity to project oneself toward broader and more expansive transcendence. While engaging with all causal structures of the human world, one can also truthfully grant oneself the genuine opportunity and auspicious affinity to return to the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heaven. This is the great benevolent governance of the Supreme Heavens.
One may thus understand why humanity descends into this world. Would it not be possible to descend into the worlds of other star systems instead? This has been an enduring question throughout the ages for all human societies. Sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha-children, having undergone the descent from the primordial void, unfold all their karmic connections through existence in this human world.
The fundamental Dao unfolds through the myriad beings.
There will inevitably be many who, having accumulated all the negative habits of past lives, descend to the Earth Star for reformation. Yet even after more than two billion light-years, they remain unable to transform their inherent negative dispositions. Therefore, the Heavens have decreed this cosmic cycle to alter the flawed genes of humanity.
Furthermore, there is no way to reform and elevate the human world; instead, aspiring to ascend and transcend becomes increasingly difficult, while descending into the cycle of rebirth becomes ever easier. Why must one descend to the earthly realm for tempering, rather than grow in other star systems? Precisely because the "demonic heart, demonic nature, and demonic temperament" accumulated over millennia are exceptionally difficult to eradicate.
Thus, in all other celestial star systems, the karmic conditions are fundamentally difficult to accommodate existence, and they are insufficient to sustain it. Without descending to the Diming Star for tempering, it is impossible to achieve fulfillment. Moreover, throughout the ages, all manifestations of "demonic hearts, demonic natures, and demonic temperaments" precisely align with the dualistic interplay of yin and yang characteristic of the Diming Star System.
When facing the kind of human world that "grinds the heart, tempers the nature, and polishes the temper," one must understand that such a space is precisely a situation where "where there is Buddha, there is Mara; where there is Mara, there is Buddha," mutually complementing each other. This provides an opportunity for the great Dao to be propagated and refined, while also offering a greater function for change and growth in addressing the accumulated habits and negative dispositions of all original spirit Buddha-children.
The Marvelous Function of Mystical Mechanisms in Evolution
It is precisely through all the modifications and transformations within the vast universe that you may carefully contemplate: in this human world, which is indeed a star system of endurance, all functions and operations serve the wondrous and mysterious purposes of the great Dao’s propagation. Moreover, why is it that, as far as any observable species capable of movement is concerned, there must inevitably exist the necessity of a food chain?
However, the food chain, from the perspective of the Diming Star, often presents a world where the strong prey on the weak, with the powerful slaughtering the vulnerable and young—a world of endurance. Thus, as long as something is an animal, it must adhere to the demands of the food chain. Moreover, any entity capable of movement is defined as an animal.
Furthermore, as "humans" are considered the most intelligent of all beings, they must also rely on the food chain to satisfy their hunger and sustain themselves. This reflects the functioning of a world of endurance, yet it also inflicts considerable harm upon other species. In organizing the food chain, how can we align our actions with the principles of a humane world to achieve functional benefits?
All evolutionary processes of the Great Dao have remained unchanged from ancient times to the present. Yet it is little understood why, for humanity to exist upon the Diming Star, there must be a food chain to provide sustenance for satiation. Is this truly for the bellies of humans or sentient beings among animals? Not necessarily! Consider the Diming Star: what difference does it make whether it has passed through the First Kalpa, the Second Kalpa, or now the Third Kalpa?
Ancient ways of living differ from those of the present.
Over the course of more than four billion years, this has always been the case. What is so mysterious about it? One can understand that to meet all the food needs of the human world, when providing all animals with enough to fill their bellies, why is it that it never overflows? And why, after eating in the morning, they come to eat again at noon, and after eating at noon, they return once more to eat in the evening?
In fact, this was not always the case in ancient times. Both humans and animals could subsist on just one meal a day. However, as times have changed, practices have diverged. In the human world, it has become necessary to eat three full meals daily, while other species generally manage with one or two meals—mostly just one. Why must the human world insist on three full meals? Could one meal not suffice?
Even as times change, the demands of the entire food chain are driven by humanity's insatiable appetite for taste! This is precisely why the role of the ages has persisted from ancient times to the present. In truth, if the human world could reduce one full meal, it would bring longer-lasting well-being to the Earth. What if we could return to the past, when only one satisfying meal was the norm?
Moreover, it can bestow long-lasting blessings upon future generations; however, after each cycle of cosmic change, to return to the initial state upon first descending to the Earthly Star, there is no need for satiation or any combination of food chain requirements. Simply by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and the energy of the sun and moon, one can gain immense benefits.
The mystical and wondrous functions are for all human beings.
It enables greater long-term well-being for oneself and future generations. The question of how to fully and adequately meet such conditions has been a point of confusion throughout the ages. Moreover, how can the human world fundamentally transcend the need for sustenance within the food chain's demands and supply? Instead, by merely absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the energies of heaven and earth, one could attain even greater benefits.
Can you comprehend this point? How strange! How can there be such a mysterious and profound combination? Moreover, because the human world originally originated from the entire cosmic galaxy, it came from: the Wuji, the Void, and the great cosmic celestial realms. This can be said to have descended upon the Earthly Nether Star in the beginning, but how did it come to be?
In fact, there is no need for satiation at all within the entire food chain of the Diming Star. Merely absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, along with the energy of heaven and earth, is sufficient for eternal survival. To you, this may sound like a fantasy, utterly impossible to believe. Moreover, it implies that the very existence of a food chain on the Diming Star becomes unnecessary.
Moreover, the very act of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the energy of heaven and earth has always been the core of all Taoist practices throughout history. This is no novelty; rather, it is a timeless legacy passed down through the ages, a profound truth conveyed to the human world. It is nothing extraordinary, but over the course of changing eras, humanity has gradually forgotten these fundamental functions and benefits.
The Great Dao, mysteriously wondrous, transforms into Non-Birth.
To be sustained within the human realm, one must feed upon the food chain, and as desires and actions multiply, how can one return to the original essence of purity and clarity? This requires profound cultivation methods and the application of energy. Consider further: why, since ancient times, have so many destined individuals and practitioners entered deep mountains to cultivate?
Without the need to satisfy the demands of the human food chain, why has this been the case throughout all ages in the human world? This requires possessing a sufficiently high-energy body to be fully realized, thereby transcending thoughts of the human food chain. And for such high-energy beings like immortals and Buddhas, is there still a need for sustenance from the food chain? Certainly not!
To all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas dwelling upon the Earthly Dark Star, who mutually support and fulfill one another, do you desire to possess such energy? This is to dissolve the delusions accumulated since ancient times. Although the human world is a realm of endurance, it possesses the distinct capacity for upward ascension or downward descent through the cycles of rebirth. Can you perceive this clearly?
All the good and virtuous causes and conditions of humanity.
I wonder if you can achieve this? To be like the energy of immortals and buddhas, without needing to be satiated by the food chain required in the human world, thereby reducing the many killings entangled within the realm of humanity. This is truly a leap beyond the survival of the human world, and it can even be said: although entering this world, one remains untainted by it.
This is an energy body possessed only by one who has already ascended beyond sages, immortals, and buddhas. As for how to emulate such a being who has transcended sages, immortals, and buddhas, how to imitate them, and precisely how to achieve such a state—do you wish to understand whether all methods throughout the ages have encompassed this? Yet, there has never been such a concept.
It is by taking the present moment as the fundamental framework and striving to eliminate all past detrimental habits that one can truly establish a light and agile physical energy within oneself. This is precisely the path to achieving a pure, light, and awakened spirituality! I wonder if all students of the Chongxin lineage and all sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddhas, are willing to strive for this?
Heaven and earth harbor affection for all primordial souls; the Great Dao, from its very inception, fosters mutual kinship.
Human relationships arise from karmic affinities,  
While the duality of heaven and earth forms the fundamental cause.
The Great Dao series unfolds and promotes widely,  
As the virtue of heaven and earth returns to all living beings.
Understanding the energy of clarity and lightness, one may ascend and traverse the cosmos at will.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement! It is essential to clarify all the delusions and obstacles that humanity has accumulated since ancient times, as well as the food chains you recognize, so that they may mutually fulfill one another. Moreover, one must understand how to attain the "light and pure" energy of the spiritual body, guiding oneself to return to the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the celestial star systems of the great cosmic heavens.
For all sentient beings with affection, every orientation towards existence can lead to genuine progress toward greater growth. With the conditions of good causes and virtuous affinities, one can ascend, elevate, and transcend. This brings true benefit to all. We are deeply moved by the diligent companionship and devoted efforts of all virtuous beings. We apologize for troubling the Chongxin lineage for some time. Farewell to all.
The Sacred Emperor of the Three Passes of Wuji
The cause of reverence is incomparably great,
The Holy Emperor of Three Passes descends in auspicious form.
Greetings to all virtuous students, may auspiciousness and harmony be with us all.
Good evening to all Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth," the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the second chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This work comprehensively elucidates the profound mysteries of the Great Tao, offering everyone a new perspective for contemplation and a refreshing shift in their way of thinking.
Why is it that the higher-level immortals and Buddhas, with their energy bodies, can transcend the human food chain? This superior energy form offers an alternative perspective for growth, hoping that in the future, everyone may also survive long-term without relying on the human food chain.
It is certain to be achieved, as long as one absorbs the essence of the sun and moon or the energy of heaven and earth, and can exist for an even longer time. If one can attain a more profound energy body, transcending within the Earthly Nether Star, there is no need to absorb the solar, earthly energy, or lunar essence of the Earthly Nether Star. This signifies having attained the Dao at a higher level, a state that only sages, immortals, and buddhas can reach.
Regarding the profound and wondrous teachings expounded by the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea today, it is offered to all to recognize that the future energy body is fully present within one’s own physical form and spirituality. This means becoming the master of oneself, thereby more fully achieving the attainment of billions upon billions of energies and the return to the source. It is essential to genuinely transcend and ascend toward one’s own ultimate return.

第三回　 理化玄機
Unraveling all the mysteries of the human world.
The evolution of the Great Dao bestows virtue and grace, allowing us to comprehend the process of cosmic evolution and understand the role of the Great Dao in its grand transformation. This is precisely how all the evolution and transformation of the Great Dao manifest as virtue and grace. Furthermore, by understanding all the wondrous functions within the vast cosmos, we can grasp why the Heavens seek to elevate humanity in the mortal realm and what the fundamental causes and conditions for this upward ascent are.
What is the purpose of the "mysteries of physics and chemistry"? In the journey of life within this world, all processes of survival are integrated into the supply of the food chain. It is through the composition of the food chain that all sentient beings in the human realm, as well as all living creatures, are provided with sustenance to fill their bellies. This structure ensures that humanity does not perpetually fall into a state of the strong preying on the weak.
In truth, it is not merely a matter of worldly principles and functions. It is precisely when the true principles bestowed by Heaven descend upon us and we encounter the "profound wonders of these principles" that they can provide humanity with genuine elevation. Within this process, for all original spirits and Buddha-children in the world and among humankind, there exists a nurturing foundation and guiding function.
Provided through the food chain, one can fulfill the need for sustenance; however, for all living creatures that move, the primary basis for satisfying hunger also requires the gentle nourishment necessary to fill the stomach. This allows for a reduction in the harm inflicted upon other sentient beings, which is known as the virtue of cherishing life.
The grace of Heaven extends to all living beings.
This is the fundamental and consistent function of the Supreme Heaven. To the Supreme Heaven’s virtue of cherishing life, the virtue of the great earth in nurturing, fostering, and protecting life is added. That is to say, the virtues of nourishing life and fostering life must be complemented by the virtues of protecting life and releasing life within the human world. Only then can they connect with all the principal moral foundations of the human world, benefiting all living beings and the myriad creatures in their existence.
These actions, nurtured by the transformative processes between heaven and earth, remain inseparable from all behaviors within the human realm, thus genuinely achieving the foundation for ascension and transcendence. This also reflects the essential interdependence of heaven, earth, and humanity—a necessity for mutual support and fulfillment. It is through the deeds and conduct of the human world that true judgment can be rendered.
Regarding the true principles and causes affecting all sentient beings, it is not only through the biological and physical sciences and technological civilization of the human world, but also through the composition of the food chain, that the human world can be fulfilled by numerous human factors. It is also understood that the technological civilization of physical and biological sciences precisely benefits all living beings in the universe.
It will guide all sentient beings and spiritual disciples towards ascension, rather than allowing them to descend into degradation. It is essential to understand that within the realm of physical and biological sciences, many advancements are facilitated by the divine to "borrow" civilization for elevation, serving the function of further evolution. Indeed, this contributes to the growth of goodness and virtue in the human world.
Physics and chemistry are targeted to benefit humanity.
Through the civilization of science and technology, we can create a future where well-being is intertwined with progress, bestowing numerous blessings. This will bring even greater virtue and fortune to all living beings in the times to come. This transformation has been shaped by the transition from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, a process that has taken over 140 years to unfold. For all humanity and sentient beings, it will inevitably lead to the growth and surpassing of goodness.
Since the Great Jade Emperor, the Supreme Mysterious and Exalted Celestial Sovereign, ascended to the throne as the supreme ruler, He has continuously worked to mutually elevate the technological civilization of the Earthly Nether Star, enabling sentient beings to benefit endlessly. Through this, the Great Dao is propagated and expanded, extending to all sages, immortals, buddhas, and deities in the human world. Those with profound karmic connections to the Earthly Nether Star system are thus fulfilled and perfected.
It is certain that they will descend to the Earthly Nether Star System to achieve mutual fulfillment. This also means: for all the vast transformations within the great cosmos, abundant resources and sustenance from the heavens are bestowed. It can thus be understood that in this very opportunity, true elevation for the human world is provided, and the civilization of science and technology is granted immense and profound revelations.
However, it is uncertain whether the sentient beings of the Earthly Nether Star can comprehend every step of this process. Indeed not! This is precisely a gradual journey toward achievement, one that requires step-by-step refinement and adjustment. It also allows flawed creations to be repeatedly mended through each cycle, enabling all shortcomings to be truly transformed into renewed excellence.
Profound mystery is the truth of heaven and earth.
How can one enhance such excellent qualities to achieve accomplishment within the vast universe? It is essential to dissolve and improve the negative causes accumulated over countless lifetimes. This differs from the mysterious and wondrous karmic connections, for "mysterious and wondrous" is truly peculiar! It fundamentally does not align with any logic of the human world.
However, the profound mysteries—that is, the divine will descending into the mortal world—along with all heavenly opportunities and auspicious affinities, are also constructed upon the foundation of true principles and truths. Among these heavenly opportunities and auspicious affinities, why do such blessings and affinities come to be fully realized? Could it be that the heavens intend to operate within the realm of "profound mysteries and wonders," thereby establishing norms for the human world?
One must be capable of creating what truly provides future well-being. Without making such preparations in the present, seeking future blessings is impossible to achieve. It is also through addressing the deficiencies and shortcomings of the human world that one cultivates and refines oneself. Thus, by the great virtue and grace of Heaven, one grows through the subtle workings of profound mysteries.
To enable the well-being of the sentient world to serve as a guide, if such guidance fails to bestow upon humanity the genuine blessings it is meant to possess, then it cannot elevate or transcend for the benefit of humankind. This is not the fundamental purpose of the Divine, which must rely on profound mysteries, rooted in all virtuous and favorable causes and conditions.
The grace of Heaven is bestowed through the advancement of technological civilization.
It is precisely by "borrowing" the creativity, inventions, research, improvements, and refinements of over two million high-tech talents that superior quality can be achieved and sustained in the world. When there are too many substandard products, it inevitably creates numerous obstacles that hinder the elevation of all present conditions and circumstances.
Such is the world of sentient beings, and such are the sentient beings themselves. From this, we can understand whether, in the context of the food chain, all acts of provision possess the function and efficacy of diminishing the blessings and virtuous grace of heaven and earth. It is essential to observe the process of application in this world, as well as the ongoing acts of creation, invention, research, refinement, and improvement, all of which contribute to growth and excellence.
In this process, it is not only about refining technological civilization, but also about improving the genetic quality of humanity and the ways of the world. Thus, it is through the human world that the quality of eugenics is enhanced and created, elevating DNA to the level of RNA genes. This is the fundamental mechanism through which genetic quality can be elevated to a higher level.
It is necessary to align with the superior qualities created for the future of eugenics. Moreover, you are in the process of transforming the karmic connections of this human world, which will allow for a genuine integration with the excellent qualities of the Earthly Star. This is precisely the fundamental functional benefit of RNA, fostering the growth of your current WTO through the mutual fulfillment of various nations.
The Functional Benefits of the Profound Principles of Physics and Chemistry
Thus, no nation will see a reduction in the enhancements brought by RNA genes. Moreover, you may further contemplate whether all functional benefits are indeed as such in the present moment. This is also, within the current technological civilization, a genuine upward transcendence offered to you—precisely providing the biochemical and physical technologies that are created in accordance with the true causes and conditions.
This is also why, throughout the Third Cosmic Cycle, the Heavens must establish fundamental functions. Moreover, it is not only for the sake of physics, chemistry, biology, technology, and civilization—it goes beyond that. It is essential to build an enhancement of RNA for the future, enabling QNA to emit its own light. This is truly beneficial for the human world in a most genuine way.
You find yourselves in such a time and circumstance, which can be said to be a profound blessing. There are some among you who, although participating in the evolutionary process of the Earthly Obscure Star, are unable to integrate within it and require significant adjustments. If you cannot keep pace with the advancements of technological civilization, how can you truly benefit from them?
Profound principles transform the obscuring hindrances of human ignorance.
It is essential to be able to rectify one's own inadequacies and deficiencies, for the human world is always in a process of learning and growth. Through the accumulation of knowledge and experience, one develops the wisdom to apply in future endeavors. This truthfully allows you to seize the opportune moments in time and circumstance to truly benefit. If one cannot change their own shortcomings and deficiencies, such opportunities may be lost.
Furthermore, in the next moment, technological civilization will advance by leaps and bounds, progressing a thousand miles in a single day, or even ten thousand miles. Therefore, you must strive to be a practitioner of "joyful cultivation" in the present era, and not become one who is left behind by the times. This is essential for truly benefiting yourself, and in doing so, you may also receive the grace and compassion bestowed by Heaven.
This is precisely aimed at all religious practitioners, enabling them to benefit, learn, and grow within such a temporal and circumstantial context. It is truly for the greater benefit of their own future, yet they remain unaware. As for how to embrace this kind of "divine opportunity and favorable affinity," which is also a "mysterious and profound karmic connection," it remains to be understood.
The evolution of heaven and earth forms the foundation,  
The profound wonders of the Great Dao illuminate the destined time.
The mysteries of physics and chemistry guide all beings,  
while blessings and virtuous grace rely upon each other.
The Great Way, from Heaven and Earth, comes to compose; the cause and effect in the human world may be accomplished.
Repay the debts of grievances from past lives,  
Enter the kingdom of heaven unburdened and free.
This verse! May all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples encourage each other! It also reveals the principles and mysteries of karma truthfully, showing that for all who can achieve in this world, there will be favorable conditions of good karma to elevate and transcend, serving as mutual encouragement, and allowing for genuine benefit, growth, and learning. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell.
The True Lord of Fate, Sovereign of the Limitless
The Great Path composes the book through destiny;  
The Lord of Infinite Fate, True Sovereign, unfolds it.
The cultivation of the heart grows through mutual causes and conditions; the mysterious virtue of heaven governs the profound workings of destiny.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji has descended to compose the third chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." The elaboration of the profound principles and all related causes and conditions into growth and learning serves as a boundary for determining whether one can truly benefit in the future. This also pertains to whether each individual’s causes and conditions can be fulfilled.
It is essential to journey through this life, through all the good and virtuous connections of this lifetime, and allow oneself to become a truly joyful practitioner. All the secrets within this must be explored and clarified by oneself. Although all of you diligent students are very busy, do not let your hearts be blind, nor your paths obscured. Otherwise, it will be impossible to attain genuine benefit.
On the contrary, one may end up constantly busy and even blind to everything, fundamentally unaware of why they are so perpetually busy and lost. Without understanding the reason, it is essential to realize that the direction and goal have long been set. Only by acting accordingly can one truly reap rewards, for that is the nature of reality. Everyone has worked hard. Farewell for now.

The Evolution of Heaven and Earth for Elevation
One may observe the great virtue and grace, which precisely constitutes the process of refining and manifesting the profound mysteries within the human world. It is also the means by which the great virtue and grace of Heaven are transformed to elevate the well-being of all sentient beings. In this primordial era, such favorable conditions of good causes and affinities—through the fundamental role of the Earthly Nebula in enhancing welfare—how are they to be realized?
Granting all original spirits and Buddha children within the great cosmos and heaven-earth the ability to move toward more comfortable, widespread, and convenient actions is also the foundation upon which all blessings of the vast world depend. Moreover, it is carried out through the human world, precisely because the sentient world is a world of true reality, where everything is oriented toward actual existence.
Only then can there be genuine conditions for benefit, rather than merely existing within a "spiritual and divine" realm of space. This can be understood as follows: in the actual world, it is through both "material phenomena and mental phenomena" that there must be supporting actions, which precisely align with the needs of human existence and are essential for nourishing life.
There must be both "the dharma of mind and the dharma of form." Moreover, these two dharmas of mind and form cannot be separated from the human world, which is known as the world of true reality. They constitute the fundamental requirements for the propagation and transformation of the Great Dao, and originate from the unified workings of the cosmos, the Wuji, and the Heavenly Mandate. They represent the descent of the divine virtue from the heavens to transform the human world.
How to Enhance the Well-being of Humanity
It can be used for creation, refinement, invention, and research, elevating well-being, and fulfilling the conditions for benefit. For the human world, if it is unable to meet the conditions for such invention, creation, and enhancement of well-being, any desire for greater comfort, convenience, and universality in the human world will fundamentally remain unattainable.
However, the Heavens can say to the 21st century: to truly benefit and grant all original spirit Buddhas and disciples throughout the vast universe and earth, achieving attainment through such conditions, in response to the great virtue and grace of the Heavens, precisely aligns with the function of cosmic evolution. It further elevates the benefits of the "mysteries of principle and transformation" within the great Dao’s causes and conditions.
The actions of ushering sentient beings into the civilization of science and technology bring forth the demand for well-being in the human world. Across the vast universe and the great earth, this applies without distinction to all nations and races, to all religious sects and lineages, and without regard to the nations and regions of the east, west, south, or north.
It becomes easy to apply the abundant resources bestowed by Heaven, which provide truly beneficial conditions for the human world. These also serve as the foundation for human endeavors to establish connections with Heaven, all within these very conditions of affinity. Furthermore, through all human efforts in invention and creation, the technological civilization of the Earthly Realm Star is simultaneously elevated and advanced.
Enhance all fundamental capabilities.
Such conditions are precisely in accordance with the principle that all living beings between heaven and earth can receive the protection and care of the divine grace. This grace is equally distributed, offering universal comfort and convenient functions. If human factors are properly aligned, success can certainly be achieved, and through this divine act of "lending strength" from above, growth is fostered.
Equitable distribution serves as mutual fulfillment and integration across all nations and religions. However, the supreme virtue and grace of Heaven primarily manifest through human creativity and inventions, which provide the foundation for truly enhancing the well-being of the Earthly Nether Star System.
Furthermore, the human world can be both created and destroyed, which necessitates both destruction and creation. This implies the need for mutual assistance and mutual fulfillment; it is not merely about creation without destruction. Moreover, destruction provides a divine opportunity and favorable condition for creation to undergo a complete transformation. How, then, can this be achieved solely through human efforts?
Whether one can transform and change through oneself is precisely the key to elevating the spiritual seeds of causation. These original spiritual factors, which in the human world are referred to as DNA, can also be elevated. By enhancing the creative factors of RNA, this is essential for gradually progressing step by step toward the future possibility of achieving QNA's self-luminous state.
Human well-being grows with goodness.
The foundation of all self-energy lies in the capacity for ascension and transcendence. As for the human world, can such superior qualities be elevated and surpassed? To achieve the function of enhancement and transcendence, it must rely on human agency—whether destruction can precede creation and reconstruction. In truth, all elements can complement one another, ultimately leading to transcendence.
In accordance with the will of the Supreme Heaven, all structures are established as its foundation. This is what the Supreme Heaven and the celestial immortals and Buddhas require for the welfare and reliance of the Earthly Realm. Precisely without distinction, whether the Earthly Realm exists in the First Cosmic Cycle or the Second Cosmic Cycle, it is due to such karma that they descend to transform within the human world, working in mutual support and complementarity.
Regarding the future technological civilization of the Earth-Ming Star, there will be genuine benefits, and these processes involve "borrowing" over two million high-tech talents to gather and create innovations. In today's world, many high-tech talents are already quietly working for the benefit of all humanity in the future.
Then there will be: creation, invention, research, and improvement, aspiring for a future world with greater: comfort, convenience, and universality, all in accordance with truth. This lies in the fundamental requirement of the Divine, precisely aimed at: research, invention, creation, refinement, and improvement, which can be universally applied to all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas on Earth, thus constituting the righteous path.
The grace of the heavens bestows blessings upon all living beings.
Otherwise, it would merely involve a few human races achieving fulfillment. How then could the abundant resources and sustenance from the Heavenly Realm be obtained? That would not align with the fundamental original intent of the Heavenly Realm. Moreover, there must be a "borrowing of talents" function created for the Earthly Star, providing a genuine exemplary role for the future. All functions should be convenient, comfortable, and universally accessible—this is the correct approach.
If it were not accessible to all, but only to a few select races, that would not be the grace of Heaven. Therefore, the grace of Heaven descends equally throughout the world; that is to say, regardless of any nation, race, religion, or sect, all may equally and enduringly benefit within the realm of humanity. Such conditions of affinity represent the fundamental original intent of Heaven.
In the present day, the sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha can be considered to possess profound karmic connections, which enable them to receive such divine opportunities and favorable conditions, thereby gaining the care and protection of the Heavens. This also ensures that all races across the vast world are treated with fairness and justice, as is right and proper. It allows for the adjustment of human factors through invention and creation.
Improving quality can be refined to perfection, which is truly an honest approach to human factors. This will lead to the creation of superior products. I wonder if you believe that such conditions could benefit the human world. For the world and humanity, it means transformation, refinement, and fostering the enhancement and transcendence of genetic quality.
Blessings flourish in the human world.
Thus, through your current integration with the WTO, it is possible to create superior genetic lineages and elevate the essence of genes via the WTO. Such conditions of causality are by no means limited to marital connections in the human world; they can also integrate with the vast cosmos, all nations, and all races.
It aligns precisely with human factors, serving as the driving force to enhance the quality of eugenic genes in the future. Through the present moment, it can also establish a future of greater well-being, more abundant and more authentically manifested within the human world. Such conditions of causation can be said to have existed as early as the second cosmic cycle and have been applied in a grand synthesis of human genes.
They can complement and enhance each other, allowing for mutual integration, which is precisely the improvement brought about by a superior gene—specifically, the enhancement of DNA. This lies in the fundamental role of RNA. How can one ensure that their future self possesses a rich energy body? It is precisely through one’s own creation, based on the fundamental requirements of QNA, that all genes of humanity and sentient beings are transformed.
Through such virtuous and favorable causes and conditions, the human world can elevate and enter into the genetically modified realm shaped by human factors. This will enable all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds of the future to possess broader and more abundant resources and provisions. Only in this way can it align with the divine will of Heaven in transforming and enhancing the genetic quality of the human world, allowing for greater elevation.
Enhancing well-being and benefiting all living beings.
It is precisely the Heavenly Realm: the great cosmos, the void, the boundless, and the celestial domain of Haotian, all interconnected in a continuous chain. Moreover, the Chongxin lineage also aligns with the trends of the times, connecting with the chain of the Heavenly Realm: the great cosmos, the void, the boundless, and all that belongs to Haotian. This connection directly descends upon the Yichi Chongxin Hall, thereby fulfilling the function of a continuous and interconnected chain.
Furthermore, they are interconnected for the welfare of all original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the future. This will bring true benefits, not only allowing you to personally experience and receive these benefits in the present moment, but also ensuring that your descendants will possess genuine virtue and blessings. By welcoming such individuals into your family, it can be said: there will be a lineage of worthy descendants.
This is the fundamental framework directly bestowed by the Supreme Heaven—the Great Cosmos, the Void, the Wuji, and the Haotian—upon the Yichi Chongxin Hall, which has thus become a true reality. Moreover, to carry forward this great blessing from the Supreme Heaven and create the causes and conditions for the human world, it is essential to have truly virtuous individuals who are fully qualified to benefit all sentient beings of humanity.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect has traversed a decade of time, enduring numerous trials bestowed by the heavenly deities and Buddhas, who have placed their trust and reliance upon it. Time and again, through each successive test, the Chongxin Sect has been refined and tempered, and each time, it has successfully passed, achieving outstanding results in the examinations set by the heavens. In truth, this is also due to the persistent and rigorous demands imposed by all the deities and Buddhas.
The grace of Heaven upon all beings must be in harmony.
All virtuous beings can cooperate with one another. If such divine opportunities and favorable conditions were not granted to you, it would indeed be unjust to you all! In truth, all the immortal and buddha teachers, regarding the functional benefits of the Chongxin lineage, initially allowed you to undergo hardships and trials, tempering you again and again. This was precisely to observe and test your: mindset, actions, responses, and wisdom.
Each and every time, the followers of Chongxin Sect have made the Heavens proud, instilling great confidence in them to bestow even more abundant resources upon the sect. The ability to truly receive all the blessings of the Heavens lies in your unwavering determination and perseverance, which have met all the fundamental requirements set by the Heavens, thus serving as a genuine example for the world today.
All religions, sects, temples, and deities, as well as the Chongxin lineage, have undergone repeated trials and tribulations to truly receive the grace and care bestowed by Heaven. In this process, there has never been any attempt to exploit Chongxin for personal gain. Instead, it is the crystallization of the united efforts of both deities and followers within the Chongxin lineage, working together with one heart. This is truly a cause for celebration and joy.
Worthy of thorough examination to verify,  
Hardships temper the heart, each shaping the other.
Witnessing the celestial scriptures in reality,  
Each response in return is treasured as a precious gem.
The grand narrative of heaven and earth unfolds,  
As the virtues of the great Dao grace and intertwine.
Unlocking the mysteries of physics and chemistry to deliver all beings, elevating welfare to the shore of myriad souls.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement for all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children! It is also dedicated to all the deities, Buddhas, and students of the Chongxin lineage, who have endured ten years of arduous trials and tribulations. In particular, it honors the sacrifices and devotion of the Chongxin leader, Master Li Bi, and Hall Master Lin, which will serve as the foundation for truly receiving the great blessings of Heaven in the future.
For all the students of Chongxin, it is also hoped that their families may welcome descendants with high-tech talents into their own homes. This is achieved through sacrifice and dedication, earning the full affirmation and genuine good fruits from Heaven. Your hard work is appreciated. May all be auspicious. Farewell.
Wuji Wenchang Dijun
The decree of the Wuji was issued early to ensure fulfillment;  
Lord Wenchang and the Emperor cultivated together in mutual refinement.
In the sixth phase of Chongxin, we promote and uphold the great Dao, sharing the virtues of heaven and earth with all beings.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the True Principal of this lineage, the Supreme Master of the Void, has descended to compose the fourth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth," analyzing the great cause for enhancing blessings. In truth, this also allows all members of the Chongxin lineage to witness the outcomes of a decade of livelihood education.
The fulfillment granted by the Supreme Heaven is based on sincere faith and affirmation—it does not come out of thin air. Rather, it is achieved step by step, with each footprint left behind, having passed through the Supreme Heaven’s repeated trials and tests before attaining today’s outcome. Therefore, all of you students must have even greater faith in promoting the great Dao, spreading its virtuous grace, and carrying out the sacred mission—only then can it be realized in its true nature.

第五回　 綱常倫理
In the human world, there exist the principles of order and morality.
Through actions aimed at enhancing well-being, it is essential to establish ethical principles and moral norms as a framework. Such conditions of cause and effect necessitate the formulation of ethical regulations applicable to all nations, religions, sects, and operational systems, thereby providing a mutual foundation for adherence and guidance. This constitutes a necessary measure within the divine institutional system to harmonize and govern humanity and all living beings.
From the entirety: the cosmic void, the Wuji, the Haotian, the Southern Heaven, and the entirety of the Earthly Underworld Star, connecting to any individual unit or group, it is essential to have ethical principles and moral order. Only then can a framework be established for mutual adherence and functioning. This very system serves as the primary institution for the interdependent world of humanity to follow.
This applies not only to the human world but also to the entire macrocosm, the void world, the Wuji world, the Haotian world, the Southern Heaven world, and the establishment of the Chongxin lineage. Without fundamental principles, how could there be orderly construction and mutual adherence, forming the guiding framework of heaven and earth?
From ancient times to the present, these fundamental principles have served not only as a means of governance but also as a guiding foundation for the human world. Moreover, it is through the establishment of such principles and norms that collective adherence becomes possible. Without them, one might speak of a situation akin to a carriage pulled by multiple horses in different directions, inevitably lacking a unified framework for all to follow. This would result in widespread disarray, making it difficult to establish any coherent system.
The principles of social order and ethical conduct are practiced by humanity.
From ancient times to the present, in any dynasty, any religion, or any nation, it is precisely through the establishment of such frameworks and systems that common adherence and mutual compliance are made possible. This clarifies that throughout all dynasties, nations, and religions in the land of China, from the era of Yan and Huang onward, it is this very mechanism that has enabled the mutual observance of systems.
This system not only guides and unifies, but also, through leadership and governance, fosters cohesion among mutually formed entities, thereby enabling the integration of large collectives. Whether through any unit or group, you all can follow these principles to mutually adhere to them. Without such adherence, it would result in a state of disarray.
It is also difficult to coalesce the force combined in this manner, as its influence on the principles of social order can be understood not only as a fundamental basis for mutual adherence, but also as a functional role achieved through such mutual conformity, which can be implemented within a group unit. That is to say, the example set by superiors is followed by subordinates—this is what constitutes its true nature.
Moreover, it is essential for the human world to establish management systems in all aspects, as management is a profound discipline. To manage appropriately, there must be shared adherence to the principles laid out in all established guidelines. These guidelines serve as the foundation, formulated collectively, and apply equally whether in the realm of the divine or the human world.
The Basis of All Moral Principles
The distinction lies only in the fact that different systems are collectively adhered to. In the human world, what is collectively followed is precisely the use of human effort to achieve restraint, adhering to fundamental common sense and principles. Under these shared basic tenets and principles, mutual coordination can be achieved, allowing all regulations in the human world to function as guiding frameworks.
This condition can be understood as follows: the world of humanity does not distinguish between any nation, religion, sect, group, or unit. It is an unwritten system, which some may collectively abide by, while others may follow it based on pre-existing institutions. It can also be said that, through education, the necessity of adhering to moral principles and social norms is established.
Among these, the human-made system is the necessity of common observance; humanity exists in a world governed by management systems, without distinction of any: nation, religion, sect, group, or unit—all are subject to this! Those who cannot be allowed to exceed the limits will inevitably face condemnation, and if the transgression is too severe, they will also suffer appropriate punishment.
It serves as the fundamental basis for all institutional frameworks, enabling the implementation of universal principles of human morality across various nations, religions, sects, organizations, and units. It is precisely the necessity of a governance system for humanity that allows the ethical and moral institutions to be established and upheld with enduring constancy.
Ethics is regulated by the fundamental principles of human relationships.
Furthermore, it takes the principles of social order as its foundation, establishing an inherent necessity in ethics where superiors set examples for inferiors to follow. This allows one to understand that in the human world, the function of ethical norms is to create a mutual necessity for adherence. Therefore, the way of ethical norms, from ancient times to the present, despite undergoing changes with each dynastic shift, has not altered significantly.
However, for the majority of ethical principles, none deviate from the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues. Implementing these ethical systems to enhance the well-being of the human world is the true essence. Moreover, establishing a basis for punishing those who transgress provides a model for others to follow in adhering to these ethical guidelines.
If one cannot transcend established rules, and these rules are founded upon the most essential principles of human relationships and familial bonds, then failing to uphold even these ethical and moral standards means there is no framework to adhere to in matters concerning one’s nation, religion, sect, or any organized group. Such a state is akin to loose sand, making it difficult to unite collective strength and leaving one vulnerable to external exploitation.
It is essential to persistently promote the norms and systems of ethics, and to establish actions guided by ethical principles within the human world. Such conduct constitutes the fundamental behavior that should be upheld in human society. This is based on the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues, which can be regarded as the foundational regulations set by Heaven.
Ethics must be practiced by humanity.
It is precisely in alignment with the whole: the universe, the void, the infinite, the celestial heavens, the southern heavens, and the fundamental functions of the revered heart. This sustains the momentum of all actions in the human world, while also observing whether ethical principles are sound, whether they are upheld, and whether there are systematic norms. As it truly exists within the human realm, it embodies the essential necessity of ethical order and moral principles.
Only then can all students benefit; otherwise, without such regulations, it would be difficult to determine whether the original spiritual Buddhas and disciples can truly gain benefit. Regarding ethics, it is only when those above set an example for those below that it can be said to be effective. If human ethics cannot be practiced, how can there be a foundation for well-being and benefits for all humanity?
This extraordinary set of conditions not only fails to contribute to the enhancement of well-being, but rather constitutes an exceedingly cruel act toward humanity. You may further reflect on the necessity of ethical principles and social order: it is an inevitable truth that superiors set examples for inferiors. If all can mutually abide by these principles, they will together achieve the foundation upon which all well-being depends.
This also applies to the human world and all celestial realms: there will absolutely be no transgressions or mutual conflicts arising. It is precisely for this reason that the peace and well-being of the great Dao world are granted to humanity for collective adherence to the principles of order and ethical systems, enabling all beings across the vast universe to mutually support one another and coexist within the human world.
The fundamental principles of human relationships and the great virtues of social order.
Without any disputes arising is the foremost principle of peace. Moreover, regarding "peace and well-being" as the primary necessity for human existence, it is established through the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues. In all actions concerning humanity, this is essential. Among these, maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict is the righteous path.
Regarding the lineage of the venerated sect, if harmony is not maintained, mutual conflicts are bound to arise. From the perspective of the leader, this means being unable to manage the principles and uphold peace with ease. If a nation lacks the capacity to sustain peace, it will inevitably become difficult for its ruler to remain composed, giving rise to all manner of disputes and divisions.
Furthermore, the resolution of disputes must be established upon the systems of governance rooted in ethical principles and social order, so that all may abide by them collectively. It is also essential not to exceed appropriate punishment for transgressions, nor to neglect the adjudication that eliminates wrongdoing. The use of punishment to hold offenders accountable serves as a warning to others, akin to killing a chicken to scare the monkeys—this is the righteous path.
For all sentient beings with emotions, whether in the celestial realms or the human world, all abide by the "cardinal guides and constant virtues" as the established principles to follow. This provides humanity with the opportunity for growth, enhancement, and transcendence toward goodness, benefiting and enriching oneself from the present moment. It truly establishes the conditions for the fulfillment of favorable causes and circumstances.
The ruler sets the standard for the minister; the father establishes order for the son.
Husband and wife, bound by mutual support,  
Together uphold the great foundation of Heaven.
The Cause and Condition of Human Governance: The Establishment of Ethical Principles Mutually Illuminates Each Other
Ethics rely on collective adherence,  
As superiors lead, inferiors follow, extending heavenly virtue.
This verse! It is meant to mutually encourage all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples. Moreover, the foundation for enhancing well-being lies in the collective adherence to ethical principles and moral norms, which constitutes true reality. Thank you all for your hard work and for your auspicious presence. I am deeply moved by your companionship in this endeavor. When we gather again in the future, at such a time and space of karmic affinity, we shall reflect with profound emotion and share our heartfelt sentiments. Thank you all, and farewell.
The Great and Venerable King of Boundless Grace
Establish the guiding principles for all to abide by,  
The system of the Wuji descends to be cultivated.
Widespread blessings upon all beings are received,  
The honored kings gather together for all to join.
Holy Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Celestial Venerable of Void Transmission from our lineage has descended to compose the fifth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." Through this, the systems and norms of the Heavenly Realm are established as the framework of ethical principles, enabling all to abide by them together, thus embodying true nature.
If it is impossible to establish and implement systems based on human moral principles and ethical norms, any attempt at enforcement will likely fail. This holds true in all realms: the celestial, the interstellar, and the galactic. The same applies to the human world, for it is precisely these causal conditions that sustain all structures of the Earthly Nether Star. So too is it for all of you.
It is within such a framework that this is implemented—precisely all the statutes, systems, and norms that connect Heaven and the human realm. Can you understand? There will be growth in goodness and achievements of transcendence, which depend precisely on being carried out in the present moment. Every sentient being among compassionate humanity will accomplish this truthfully.

第六回　  規章禮儀
Human beings must uphold the principles of social order and ethical conduct.
Thus, one can understand that in the human world, the cultivation of virtue relies on the principles of ethics and morality. This necessitates mutual adherence to established norms, and how these norms can be made obligatory for all to follow. Only through the application of these principles to oneself in the human world can one find guidance and rely on them, thereby enabling the practice of rules and rituals.
Furthermore, for all races in the human world to be able to mutually abide by this function, it is also necessary to establish guiding principles for implementation, in order to achieve perfection. This means using the standards of human conduct as the benchmark, which can serve as a guide for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children. It is precisely because regulations are established that there is a basis for their implementation.
This pertains to the authentic functioning of "rules, regulations, and normative principles." Such systems and frameworks must operate through mutual governance, with superiors setting examples and subordinates following suit. Through functional efficacy, they achieve the purpose of humanistic rules, regulations, and institutional norms, which are upheld collectively by all. Only in this way can their functions be carried out in an orderly and effective manner, embodying their true nature.
All races, nations, religions, and sects within the sentient world operate in a similar manner. This is what allows the human world to establish governance systems that mutually adhere to one another. Moreover, regarding human factors, if they do not overstep, they can abide by such rules, regulations, and established norms. But when these boundaries are transgressed, what then should be done?
Principles of social order and moral ethics must not be transgressed.
Inevitably encountering punishment for mistakes is a matter of justice; it also reflects why the human world requires the establishment and observance of systems, norms, and regulations—this is the necessity of management systems. Moreover, through this necessity, we observe whether all aspects of the human world possess institutional frameworks that serve as guiding principles, thereby benefiting the etiquette and order of human society.
If such institutional frameworks are already in place and functioning, they will foster greater mutual integration and will not create obstacles that are difficult to govern. Moreover, within the human world, whether it be any nation, religion, sect, ethnicity, or all organizational and operational systems, it is precisely by adhering to such institutions that harmony is achieved.
It is a set of rules established by humans for humans to follow. When such rules cannot be adhered to, society becomes like scattered sand, making it difficult to unite people and foster mutual support. The necessity of all management systems in the human world lies in their function of governing people by people—or, in other words, using humans to manage humans.
Moreover, it is essential that those in higher positions govern those below with a focus on fostering obedience. When human obedience is lacking, conflicts arise, making harmony and peace unattainable. The human world universally desires a living environment free from strife, where safety and tranquility prevail without contention.
Human regulations, systems, and canonical rules
In this process of aspiration, mutual interdependence is essential. When human desires are pursued yet remain unfulfilled, collective resistance may arise, preventing the attainment of peace and stability. Such outcomes do not align with the needs and desires of a humane world. How can regulations be established to govern all of humanity in a way that serves this purpose?
It is through the management of human actions by humans themselves that peace and harmony can be achieved without conflict. However, whether the regulations of the human world might overstep their bounds is an impossibility! This is because the functioning of human leaders at all levels must be understood as arising from human agency—they too are human beings. Thus, the necessity of a management system is formed.
It is precisely because of the presence of leaders at all levels that integration into a large collective becomes possible. This large collective, in turn, is formed through the gathering and combination of numerous smaller groups. It can also be said that within each individual nation, it is through the aggregation of individual small families into the entirety of the state that large-scale communal settlements are able to coalesce.
Furthermore, the formation of a nation from the gathering of large communities, also referred to as the composition of a "state," entails that the leaders of each group support and harmonize with one another to maintain peace in all aspects, without giving rise to numerous conflicts. This necessitates the establishment of regulations. The fundamental function of these regulations is to benefit all of humanity.
The essential foundation of human etiquette and institutions.
In managing the interactions among various units and integrating them into larger communities, it is essential to implement rules, regulations, and established norms to ensure functional effectiveness and benefits. The human world relies precisely on such mutual governance and the principle of leading by example, which is fundamental and truthful, enabling everyone to coexist peacefully and live with ease.
And as the fundamental cause and condition for all actions and behaviors, if such rules and regulations are lacking, it is easy to form a situation of multiple leaders pulling in different directions, leading to mutual contention over the authority and rights of management systems. For all human beings in the world, the primary cause and condition for mutual fulfillment lies in etiquette, along with the necessity of a humane management system.
Furthermore, through rituals, one can observe the effectiveness of the actions of a group or organization. The regulations that govern the mutual interactions within rituals clarify their application in the human world, precisely by providing prescribed behaviors for people to follow, thereby establishing the necessity of mutual fulfillment. It is also because the regulations, systems, and norms of ritual inherently require mutual fulfillment that corresponding actions are taken.
This condition of cause and effect makes it clear that in the human world, if affairs are conducted without propriety and ceremony, people will inevitably be ridiculed as belonging to a "barbaric land" devoid of etiquette and decorum. No one wishes to be labeled as uncivilized. For the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, acting with propriety and observing rituals are the correct ways to conduct oneself.
Etiquette is the foundation of human relationships.
It is essential to provide humanity with rituals that can be affirmed, which requires adequate training and testing. Without the practice of rituals in human society, there can be no mutual fulfillment of their ceremonial significance. Moreover, through training, humans can rectify improper ritual practices, thereby fostering virtuous growth and elevation.
Regarding the observance of human etiquette, it must be distinguished by rules and conditions as to which specific etiquette is being practiced. This observable world of human interactions is precisely formed through mutual establishment of etiquette and regulations. Only by elevating the practice of human etiquette to a ritualized level, and necessarily through repeated and continuous training processes, can a uniform and standardized code of conduct be established.
It enables the practice of more refined rituals, which are the principles and actions that the human world should embody. When applied to the human world, the rituals and ceremonies conform to mutual reception, and all such practices clarify how various entities, religions, or sects establish rituals according to their respective needs.
How can one discern the hierarchical levels and realms of a group, religion, or sect through its rituals? For each of these categories—organizations, religions, and sects—the rituals they follow are comparable. How do their hierarchical realms manifest? What are their structural systems like? And how are their rituals practiced?
Rituals accomplish the myriad beings of humanity.
It is through each individual unit that one can observe with utmost clarity, and this can be applied in the human world. As for the requirements of etiquette training, how are they defined? Precisely through the leadership and coordination of human beings as the primary agents. The human world must uphold the practice of etiquette to manifest the completeness of each individual entity.
One can observe: by examining whether all systems, regulations, codes, and norms are genuinely practiced in accordance with established rituals, one can understand the state of the institutional framework. This applies to all nations, religions, sects, organizations, and operational systems across the vast world. Likewise, it underscores the necessity of establishing rituals and maintaining sound objectivity in their formulation.
From the perspective of the human world, it can provide standards for human conduct and rituals. This is achieved through the regulations and guidelines established by various units within the human world. If these can serve as exemplary models, they will be affirmed by society, indicating that rigorous training has been undertaken, resulting in a uniform and orderly presentation.
This ability to perform rituals in the temple with propriety can affirm for all living beings the manifestation of the institutional aspect; similarly, the human world, as a realm of individual units conducting ceremonies, will inevitably reveal the functional benefits of performing rituals with propriety. The sentient world, too, achieves its individual units in this way, where the performance of rituals with propriety accomplishes the formation of these units.
All regulations and ceremonial rites are to be implemented accordingly.
Regarding the establishment of such ritual norms, it is only through the implementation of regulations that they can be authentically manifested and performed in accordance with proper rites. From the perspective of the Chongxin lineage: the various institutional aspects, particularly the ritual practices documented in the Dadao series of celestial texts, follow the same principle. It is essential to first respectfully light the Mother Lamp and, upon completion, reverently invite the Patriarch to lead everyone in devoutly reciting the Heart Sutra.
Afterwards, they proceed into the inner hall to reverently recite the Invocation of Deities, which demonstrates their respect for the rituals welcoming the descent of gods and buddhas. It is through this understanding of performing ceremonies in accordance with proper rites that the term "ritual propriety" is embodied. Following the completion of the celestial scriptures, the hall master then leads everyone in reverently reciting the *Awakening World Sutra of Lord Guan Sheng Di Jun*, dedicating the merits to all sentient beings and original spirit buddhas for the verification of their spiritual achievements.
In observing the conclusion of the overall ceremonial proceedings, one can discern whether it is characterized by solemnity and reverence, simplicity and dignity, or merely descends into a casual and disorderly affair. If even a trace of solemnity is absent, it risks drawing ridicule from external celestial beings or distinguished guests. This serves as a critical factor in determining whether the sacred tradition can achieve elevation and refinement.
The lineage of the Chongxin School is guided by the principle of "establishing the standards of the Apricot Altar" in its conduct. Under such exceptional conditions and circumstances, the practice of ritual etiquette must be one that can be presented for public recognition and admiration. It is essential that the performance of rites be solemn, dignified, and tranquil, ensuring that the execution of rituals maintains a comprehensive and impeccable integrity.
The construction of ethical norms and moral principles necessitates the cultivation of ritual propriety and ceremonial observance.
Ritual regulations and systems must be established;  
Only through solemnity and dignity can fulfillment be achieved.
The great Dao unfolds through heaven and earth,  
Each turn and cycle interdependent.
The mysteries of physics and chemistry can be harnessed to create,  
As humanity achieves the epoch of the Great Dao.
This verse! It is meant to encourage all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s children together. In every ritual and ceremony performed within the Chongxin lineage, each occasion has its own proper etiquette, which should be faithfully observed by all. Only through strict training and collective adherence can we earn the recognition of the wider world—this is the right path. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor; it is deeply heartfelt!
The Imperial Lord of the City God of Wuji
Limitless, selfless, and free from bias,  
The City God reverently upholds sincerity and compassion.
The Emperor ascends the platform to meet the virtuous scholars, together establishing the council of regulations.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Lord of Void-Pen Descending from our lineage has descended to compose the sixth chapter of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Regarding the practice of regulations, rituals, and etiquette, the overall framework is essential. This is to ensure that the "Standards of the Apricot Altar" established by the Chongxin Lineage can be truly implemented.
This is precisely the primary sacred duty that the Immortal Buddhas and Teachers of the Chongxin lineage have emphasized and demanded for many years. Yet, those capable of carrying it out are exceedingly rare! Although regulations have been established, their implementation remains lacking. This helps you understand why the Chongxin lineage has grown increasingly stringent—it is a step-by-step process of rectification, addressing all your shortcomings and deficiencies.
Furthermore, from beginning to end, continuous cultivation is carried out. For all students of the Chongxin lineage, it is essential to elevate their character. Moreover, the approach toward you all is gradually becoming stricter, precisely to urge you to "attain enlightenment in the present moment and achieve Buddhahood in this lifetime." This is not only implemented for you but also serves as a mutual guide for future students to follow—this is indeed correct!

第十九回 　了知天意
September 12, 2006, the twentieth day of the intercalary seventh month in the year of Bingxu (Tuesday)
第七回　 道德建基
Human beings must be governed by moral principles.
The principles of social order can be observed in the sentient world, as they are essential for sustaining human life. Through this necessity for survival, one can understand that many aspects of existence are anchored in the framework of human life. This anchorage is defined precisely by the imperative of survival. For the human world to endure, it must be founded upon the bedrock of these ethical norms.
Furthermore, the establishment of a foundation requires the support of morality. The function of relying on this morality is built upon the principle that in the human world, one must refrain from evil deeds and must elevate oneself through the "Way and Virtue." This also echoes the era of ancient sage-kings Yao and Shun, which is described as a time when genuine comfort and survival were possible, and the establishment of human existence allowed for continuous upward progress.
Regardless of any religion or sect, all are structured upon morality and passed down through it. This holds true even in the present era, for all religions—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam—and every religious sect are no exception. Each demonstrates how "the Way and virtue" complement and reinforce one another.
Since "Dao" is the fundamental principle governing the natural order, and "De" represents the noble sentiments of humanity, the concept of "Dao and De" must be mutually inherited and continuously passed down to truly constitute "morality." All ethical principles and norms that sustain human existence must also be established upon the foundation of morality, serving to govern and guide the human world.
All establishments of moral and ethical principles
It is by taking the Dao as the guiding principle and virtue as the moral sentiment that humanity can find support for its inclination toward goodness. Without morality, humanity would descend into sorrow! This condition makes it difficult for human ethics and morality to ascend to higher levels, and when morality collapses in the human world, what else can humanity rely upon?
Regarding the essential conditions of human ethics and moral principles, one can understand the fundamental driving force upon which the human world relies—that is, taking morality as the foundation. This applies universally to the world of sentient beings, without distinction based on any nation, religion, sect, group, or organization. It is, in truth, the cornerstone upon which systems of governance and management depend.
Regarding the two aspects of morality, they possess the primary function of mutually assisting one another, and it is through the integration of principle with virtue in this mutual assistance that the human world governs the orientation of survival. It is essential to have principle as the foundation, while virtue represents a rather noble sentiment. This constitutes the fundamental condition upon which "the Way and virtue" rely.
It can provide a common code of conduct for the human world to abide by without overstepping, precisely because it relies on the support of noble moral sentiments. Moreover, it governs all aspects of the human world with principles, without exceeding boundaries. This is what all entities in the sentient world—nations, religions, sects, groups, and units—must rely upon.
The virtue of the Dao is inherited by all humanity and living beings.
It is precisely because of the noble sentiments upheld by this principle that one does not transgress the moral order of the human world. This is a true manifestation of the meaning of existence, rooted in the fact that all ethical norms and principles of the human world must be founded upon morality. It is primarily through this essential cause and condition that humanity, as a species, can be regarded as the most spiritually endowed among all beings.
If there is the Way but no virtue, it cannot manifest through the noble sentiments it relies upon, nor can it be passed down through the education and culture of the human world. Regarding all matters in the human realm, none can escape the norms. Through the governance and management of Heaven, the greatest administrator of the human world is also known as the Son of Heaven.
Regarding all sentient beings in the human world, also referred to as the primordial spirit Buddha-children, they are metaphorically likened to the "Son of Heaven" and the multitude of "primordial spirit Buddha-children." Just as the Son of Heaven is governed by Heaven above, so too are the sentient primordial spirit Buddha-children under the governance of Heaven, and they further mutually assist in upholding the moral principles and ethical norms of the human world.
Within this, morality must serve as the legacy. In the context of educational and cultural curricula, it is especially true for the human world on Earth—or what is referred to as the "Earthly Star"—that the inheritance of education and culture is realized through the collective efforts of all human societies. However, the core framework is built upon the accumulation of experiential knowledge, with the primary driving force being the benchmark of noble sentiments and moral integrity.
The Necessity of Establishing Morality as the Foundation of Humanity
Similarly, within the human world, sentient beings can collectively adhere to and not transgress these conditions of causation, which mutually support human ethics and morality, and are essential for governance systems. All of you entering the human world—its regulations, systems, codes, and norms—must also be upheld through a shared practice of leadership by example and the execution of orders from above.
This approach can align with the fundamental principles of moral norms, whether established by divine will or human society, and is thus the righteous path. If one deviates from human ethics and morality, what noble sentiment can be claimed in governance? It would inevitably lead to numerous disputes and conflicts, which is not the original intent of divine will.
In the governance of the celestial realm, morality is also the guiding principle. For all celestial bodies, stars, and galaxies across the heavens, it is under such exceptional conditions of cause and effect that regulations, systems, codes, and norms are established, embodying what is known as noble sentiment. Similarly, the sentient world of the great cosmos is also grounded in the principles of human ethics and morality.
This is what is referred to as the human world and the heavenly world, which truly embody a noble sentiment toward the principles of truth, and thus have a mutually supportive function. Similarly, in the world of sentient beings, regardless of any nation, group, religion, or organization, it also serves as a moral benchmark of noble sentiment, and is what is called the implementation of a management system.
Education is rooted in the transmission of virtue.
You should carefully consider that for each unit, as well as for the smallest unit and the family, ethical norms must also be established. Although these may not be written down or recorded, they can be integrated into human educational and cultural curricula, thereby laying a solid foundation for everyone to follow together. The same applies to the lineage of the Chongxin Sect.
Above, in the Void, the Wuji, and the Haotian realms, the immortal Buddhas reside at the Chongxin Hall. This means that the Chairman of this Hall is fully authorized to handle all sacred affairs of the Chongxin lineage. Moreover, in each heavenly realm of the Void, Wuji, and Haotian, there are respective presiding immortal Buddhas. From the perspective of the Chongxin lineage, it is Chairman Wenheng Shengdi who holds full authority over all Taoist affairs and missions of Chongxin.
If regarding the void, there is the Chairman, the Venerable Void—Namo Venerable Void, the Ancient Buddha of Virtue in the Human and Celestial Realms, who fully oversees and manages all affairs of the void. If regarding the Wuji (Limitless), there is the Vice-Chairman, Immortal Ma Gu, who fully handles all affairs and missions of the Wuji Heavenly Realm. If regarding the Haotian (Heavenly Realm), there is the Grand Chairman, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, the Ruler of the Southern Heaven, who fully carries out all responsibilities and implementations.
Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the Lord to oversee the sacred missions of different celestial realms. This also involves distinguishing between regulations and systems, which necessitates mutual support. Moreover, within the Chongxin lineage, whether in relation to the Haotian Celestial Realm, the Wuji Celestial Realm, or the Void Celestial Realm, each entity and each office fulfills its own duties, yet they are capable of achieving great integration and unity among the various heavens and their respective responsibilities.
The foundation of civilization is passed down through humanity.
The collective leaders of this lineage are specifically responsible for managing all duties and responsibilities within the Chongxin lineage, overseeing the various celestial offices. Guided by the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dipaṃkara, the four hundred million disciples of the Green and Red Yang eras are fully integrated and guided, enabling them to collectively achieve realization. Each thus holds their respective duties and responsibilities, yet they unite to form a single great assembly.
This is the new law decreed by Heaven, aimed at perfecting the Chongxin Sect lineage. This foundational project is exceptionally vast. To achieve greater salvation and propagation through this project, it is essential for all divine beings and Buddhas, together with virtuous disciples, to unite their hearts and strive collectively. From the perspective of the True Buddha Heart Sect, this responsibility for overall integration falls entirely upon the Patriarch Li Bi.
Regarding the Supreme Dao Academy, Dean Lin is fully responsible for its management. As for the Chongxin Hall, Hall Master Lin oversees all its affairs. Similarly, the Chongxin Magazine is now entirely under the charge of the newly appointed President Chen. Although each entity has its distinct responsibilities, they can be integrated into a unified whole to foster greater solidarity, thereby facilitating future promotion and expansion.
Regarding this foundational endeavor, which is the integration into the Chongxin lineage, it has become clear that the tests and examinations bestowed by Heaven upon Chongxin, at each stage of the trial, are meant to assess whether it can harmoniously merge into a greater collective. This union aims to gather a powerful force for widespread transformation, achieved through such a framework to bring about fulfillment.
Morality is the fundamental cornerstone of humanity.
Regarding the duties entrusted by Heaven to be carried out in the human world, it can be understood that the human world operates through human agency, which in turn forms a great interdependent bond of mutual unity and mutual support. If people cannot unite as one, how can there be mutual integration? This is precisely why Heaven has established the Chongxin lineage to lay the foundation for all moral virtues.
For the sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples of the future, mutual fulfillment can be achieved. Moreover, the main structure of the Chongxin Sect lineage is vast, enabling greater fulfillment and greater blessings to descend upon the human world for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples in the future. This also explains why the Heavens bestow great virtue and grace in the current 21st century.
It is precisely by "borrowing" over two million high-tech talents from extraterrestrial star systems to descend upon Earth, engaging in creation, research, and the invention of virtuous benefits. This extraordinary set of conditions and causes forms the very framework through which we participate in this profound celestial opportunity, manifesting within the human world to elevate the future of technological civilization.
Moreover, it is the manifestation of the great Dao's grace within the human world that truly creates greater well-being for all sentient beings. It provides all kind-hearted human beings with the means for goodness to grow, ascend, and transcend. This not only benefits oneself but also benefits all kind-hearted human beings, enabling them to genuinely return to and achieve fulfillment.
The foundation and framework have been established;  
The moral principles are thus genuine.
Regulations, statutes, and canonical rules—  
All are upheld by the grace of Heaven.
Human welfare rests upon virtue,  
That sentient beings may live in harmony.
Blessings are created for the well-being of all,  
Spreading far and wide to benefit everyone.
This verse! It is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement, to spread the grace of Heaven down to the mortal world. It serves as a guide for everyone to attain greater blessings, and in truth, it will bring about good and virtuous rewards—this is the righteous path! Today, I thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. I am truly grateful! Thank you, everyone. Farewell.
The Supreme Emperor of the Profound Heaven of the Infinite
The Wuji decrees descend upon Chongxin,  
The Mysterious Heaven God's virtue is full of compassion.
The Great Dao descends from heaven and earth to compose,
Blessings and fortune gather, drawing all close as kin.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Heavenly Lord of Golden Brush and Enlightened Wisdom from the Void of our lineage has descended to compose the seventh chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth," elucidating the principal causes and conditions for establishing the foundation of virtue. This is shared with all the deities, buddhas, and students of the Chongxin lineage, uniting them in one heart.
Although each role carries different responsibilities, they can complement and support one another, working together to fulfill the divine will and foster auspicious connections. By uniting our collective strength, we form a powerful external force that aligns our hearts as one. In this way, the path of the Dao can be widely advanced, and the Great Celestial Court can be promoted. Thank you all for your dedicated companionship in this endeavor. I appreciate your efforts, and until we meet again.

All the virtuous progeny of humanity
The moral foundation is constructed upon a framework of reliance, precisely by integrating "procreation, nurturing, and education" into the human world. It is through these conditions that the survival experiences of humanity are passed down, and it is also by this framework that the growth of the human world is structured, with "procreation, upbringing, and education" serving as its pillars.
Through human effort, growth and learning can be considered a form of inheritance. This begins after conception, with "prenatal education" serving as the foundational function of instruction. This process of procreation is passed down by Heaven and constitutes a fundamental function of the human world. Through this essential inheritance, humanity can achieve elevation and progress.
Furthermore, it can be understood that childbirth is an exceptionally significant cause and condition. Every human being is carried in the womb of a mother to enter the human world, and it is only through birth that one can exist in the realm of humanity. In terms of childbirth, this means "human beings exist in the human world."
Only through the conditions created by parents can sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples undergo such circumstances to enter the human world, which is referred to as "existence." Without the creation by parents, how could the continuation of human beings be possible? The necessity of survival in the human realm is achieved through human actions, enabling sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples to enter the world of humanity.
Raising children is the responsibility of parents.
To speak of surviving in the human world, if one cannot fulfill the condition of entering the womb realm for human existence, can it be said that one possesses a physical body? This is impossible; for the physical body is formed through the union of the two primal forces of heaven and earth, and only then can it enter the womb. In this process, the convergence of causes and conditions must be accomplished through the "human physical body" to achieve completion.
There must also be a "spiritual nature" to be infused into the physical body. Through such extraordinary conditions and causes, one can understand that the union of "body and spirit" is achieved through birth. This is what is called "procreation." After birth, with the first cry, the infant descends into the human world.
This refers to the necessity for a fetus, upon entering the human world, to be sustained by the food chain. In the human realm, this is expressed as hunger, which must be satisfied to fill the belly. Moreover, the food chain for humanity is interconnected with the chain of worldly affairs. From this, it becomes clear that both the "chain of affairs and the food chain" must be linked by the cause and effect of currency.
Only then can it be transformed into the supply of the food chain. Within the food chain, it means being satiated in the stomach without fear of scarcity; only then can it be called the interconnectedness of satiation actions. If there is no satiation, then there is a lack of connection within the food chain, inevitably leading to hunger without the supply of the food chain. Human beings, in turn, rely on nurturing what is called the necessity for survival.
Heaven and Earth nurture all living things.
Nurturing: It is the care provided by those involved. Taking the parents, representing the dual forces of heaven and earth, along with all relatives participating in the process, through nurturing the fetus, one can ensure it is well-fed and spared from the ravages of hunger. This necessity of having ample clothing and food is closely linked to the fortune, blessings, and monetary conditions of each individual, shaping whether one is endowed with goodness and sufficiency or not.
If there is a lack of understanding regarding the vital importance of sustenance, hunger will inevitably arise. Moreover, sustenance provides significant support to caregivers, and when it comes to nurturing, the fundamental requirement is satiety. Furthermore, without discriminating among any types of food, the ability to supply the necessity of satiety can truly be called the fulfillment of sustenance.
Otherwise, one is bound to suffer from a deficiency in sustenance and be devastated. Precisely, it is through birth that life begins, and through nurturing that it grows. This means that from the moment of birth, learning commences, allowing each individual to inherit the educational legacy provided by those who give birth and those who nurture. Knowledge and experience are thus passed down and accumulated, which constitutes the essential necessity of all human inheritance.
Education precisely begins after birth, with nurturing through nourishment and learning for growth. Every sentient being and original spirit, a child of the Buddha, follows this path. Through the upbringing and environment provided by parents, education and moral cultivation are initiated. This process also addresses the necessity of survival orientation, starting by learning all aspects of life from one's parents.
Education and culture must be capable of being passed down.
Encompassing all: habits, inertia, and individuality, these constitute the necessary accumulation for the growth of knowledge. This process begins with prenatal education and is further transmitted through the example set by parents themselves, serving as an educational inheritance. For each set of parents, differences in living environments give rise to varying educational conditions and opportunities.
It can be said: what kind of parents beget what kind of children—this is a universal truth. The living habits of any parents serve as models for their children to learn, grow, and imitate. Thus, differences in individual living environments shape children differently. In essence, every word and deed of parents becomes an example for their children to emulate.
If parents exemplify virtuous conduct, their children will also exhibit virtuous conduct. If parents are gentle and harmonious, their children will be gentle and harmonious. If parents are wicked, their children will be wicked. That is to say, the mold determines the nature of the conduct, and the parents determine the character of their children. In this way, what emerges from the same mold will be of the same kind.
This is said to be determined by the learning environment, as well as by differences in survival orientation; the children born under certain conditions are also described under those same conditions: learning and growth. As the ancient saying goes, "To have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue." This is not baseless talk but an absolute truth, distinguishing between the qualities of excellence, peace, and inferiority in each individual.
All Functions of Growth Education
Education is the fundamental function that endures through all ages. It can be observed in detail that education has been passed down through generations, unchanged by the shifts of time. It is through education that learning begins immediately after birth and continues throughout one's entire life.
The human world is precisely a cyclical process, where learning and growth form the very foundation of education. Thus, the fundamental undertaking of "procreation, nurturing, and education" is inseparable from the conditions of the human world. By passing down this tradition of "procreation, nurturing, and education," we establish exemplary models and set positive examples for future generations.
The essence of inheritance lies in education and cultivation, which form the foundation of all things and represent the righteous path. It is essential to establish this foundation through "morality and virtue," and to pass on the values of procreation, nurturing, and education. Only then can the sentient world achieve fulfillment, fostering wholesome causes and conditions that lead to upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Virtue is passed down through generations to posterity;  
Nurturing and raising children is akin to tending a garden.
Education arises from the interplay of conditions,  
Emerging from the womb to begin the journey of learning.
Nurturing and teaching carry on the legacy,  
Human experience is shaped through learning in the world.
Step by step, each footprint leaves a mark;  
Mark by mark, we grow and cherish one another.
This verse! May all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be encourage one another. Its role in the process of prenatal education and learning can guide all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be into the human world, serving as your legacy for the education and learning of future generations—passed down from generation to generation, from lifetime to lifetime! Reflect deeply, and its meaning will become clear. As parents, you too will pass it on from generation to generation.
Can anyone remain in the human world forever? No! By carefully contemplating the causes and conditions of this existence, one must realize that the human realm is merely a transient guest of time and circumstance. What, then, is there to cling to or hold onto? In the end, all that remains is a pile of bones—what is there to cherish? Can you let go?
To your descendants, they will only know the names and surnames of their ancestors, yet find it difficult to understand all the toils and hardships those ancestors endured. Human beings, in essence, are incapable of fully comprehending all that has transpired. As for future generations, they merely enjoy the wealth you leave behind—but if that wealth is accumulated through misfortune and wrongdoing, what purpose does it serve? Upon careful reflection, one realizes the helplessness of the human world, and that there is simply no alternative. I thank you all for your hard work. May everything be auspicious. Farewell.
The Heavenly Venerable of Limitless Enlightenment
Limitless, selfless, and impartial,  
Teaching and tradition are passed on for humanity to uphold.
The Celestial Venerable ascends the platform to gather the virtuous;  
The Great Way of Heaven and Earth draws all beings through virtue.
Good evening to all holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Heavenly Lord of the Great Dao of the Void Silver Pen from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the eighth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth," unveiling and analyzing the karmic connections of "birth, nurturing, and education." This is essential for gaining genuine insight into the human world.
One generation gives way to another, yet what can endure forever in the realm of human affairs? Nothing! We are but fleeting travelers in time. Where will the next generation place you? Even a grave is a decent enough fate—so why cling with such anxiety to the descendants you leave behind? Are they not merely the continuation of your own legacy?
Many memories have long been completely forgotten; we only know that there were ancestors. As for the descendants of each generation, what concerns do you still hold for them? They have long ceased to be concerned about you, so why remain unable to let go? The human world is merely a passage where we borrow a body to pass through (to pass away). Why be so tirelessly preoccupied, carrying thoughts of future generations in your heart?
The wise must cherish the present moment for themselves. Why exhaust oneself in anxious planning for future generations? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings; human calculations are no match for divine will. Moreover, to you, they are merely passing travelers in time. What, then, can accompany the immortal sages and buddhas in leisurely wandering through the celestial realms? Reflect deeply on this yourself, strive diligently yourself, grow yourself, and achieve fulfillment yourself!

The Growth Process of All Living Beings
After nurturing and education, one can observe: this refers to the process of learning and growth. Since growth follows learning, and growth itself requires learning, they are mutually dependent and essential. Learning through growth is an undeniable necessity. For all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, this is an indispensable requirement in the human world.
In the process of growth, it is essential to have an orientation toward nurturing life. However, beyond this nurturing, there are many aspects that must undergo both "learning through growth and growing through learning." Only through their mutual support can achievement be realized. This is described in the world of sentient beings as the necessity of nurturing life, for growth itself is a stage-specific functional benefit.
It is essential to understand that the process of growth is forged through repeated cycles of learning, through which experience accumulates. In the world of sentient beings, the orientation toward survival inherently carries the necessity of nurturing life. This nurturing, in turn, is indispensable for enriching existence. For all living beings and spiritual disciples of Buddha, this necessity is an inescapable aspect of life.
This necessity demands that learning be built upon the foundation of having one's basic needs met, for only then can growth through learning occur. This process is repeatedly realized through the survival-oriented actions of the human world, where all aspects of daily life are passed down by drawing upon the legacy of predecessors, and then absorbed by oneself in the present moment.
The Necessity of Learning and Growth
If one lacks sufficient accumulated experience, one is bound to encounter numerous contradictions and difficulties, and will struggle to comprehend the necessity of sustaining life in the human world. It is through the accumulation of experience that one can meet the demands of sustaining life. Yet, sustaining life first requires the fulfillment of material conditions, which in turn gives rise to the necessity of having the means to acquire such provisions.
In addressing all aspects of survival orientation, it is through the interplay of currency and conditions that we achieve sufficiency in both the food chain and the chain of affairs. When these two are combined, they inevitably elevate human life: enhancing comfort, convenience, and universality. This synergy is complementary, transcending nations, religions, and schools of thought, all of which rely on learning as a means of accumulation, and this is what we call growth.
Growth also requires learning through repeated cycles, which is the accumulation of experiential knowledge that becomes wisdom for application. Such is the way of the sentient world—actions dictated by the necessity of human existence. Yet, will any accumulated experience inevitably influence the next cycle, shaping the adaptation of applied knowledge?
If one can adapt and apply knowledge appropriately in the next instance, it is precisely through accumulating such repeated cycles—applying knowledge to the human world—that true benefit is gained. If experiential knowledge remains insufficient, one will inevitably be hindered by ignorance—this is absolutely certain! This is because the learning process itself involves putting knowledge into practice.
Knowledge accumulates through the application of wisdom.
Knowledge is also accumulated in the course of daily life, through the continuous process of reconstructing all life experiences. Regardless of the people and beings of any nation, each lives within their respective homeland, and it is said: this is precisely the path of learning and growth. Every sentient primordial spirit and Buddha-child is likewise so, in all the necessary actions of existence.
It is essential to understand that such conditions are necessary for living in the human world, bound together by experience. They transform every action in daily life into a necessity for knowledge, and knowledge, in turn, accumulates through daily life, borrowing from all experiences to be applied when the next task arises.
Thus, one can easily grasp the origins and outcomes, and become thoroughly familiar with the entire process of all affairs. Moreover, one can better understand which experiential knowledge to apply in order to achieve fulfillment. Regarding the necessity of this kind of learning and growth, it is precisely through the accumulation of all experiences in daily life that we call it learning and growth.
It is precisely the conceptual truth that every primordial spirit and disciple of the Buddha must embrace: in the human world, from birth through childhood, youth, middle age, maturity, old age, and finally passing away, each stage of time and space is an opportunity for learning and growth. Every aspect and process of the human world is merely a journey of learning and development.
Growth brings an increase in goodness.
This is to cultivate oneself without ignorance and erroneous experiences, enabling one to align with the necessities of human survival—this is what is called cultivation. This human world is one where, time and again, we engage in rectifying our shortcomings and reforming our errors. Through such cultivation and transformation, we ensure that we do not repeat the same mistakes in the future.
Only then can one engage in self-reflection and transformation, avoiding being led astray by errors. By honestly adjusting and reforming oneself in response to all survival orientations within this human world, one can accumulate experiences through successive cycles and find the right direction. This is precisely the process of accumulating knowledge and experience through learning.
It is precisely about not repeating mistakes, which aligns with the Confucian process of self-renewal. All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world, when entering the realm of humanity to nurture life, must first fulfill the basic need of satiating hunger. Only after achieving this can they combine learning and growth into the chain of life’s affairs, thereby attaining a state of comfortable existence.
Through the process of nurturing life, one can fully possess the conditions for currency circulation, thereby enabling the integration of all food chains and transactional chains. This allows individuals to provide themselves with a comfortable, convenient, and enjoyable life, while also contributing to the growth of the human world. It is precisely through the sufficiency of currency that life can be elevated in terms of comfort, convenience, enjoyment, and universality.
Learning to Grow and Growing to Learn
It is said: to elevate life is to benefit all sentient beings, as it addresses the inevitability of learning and growth within the human world; it is also about the inherent conditions for circulation within this realm, and whether human factors are sufficient to ensure abundant resources for future life.
It can be observed: all the efforts one makes in the present moment, combined with the "karmic retribution" from past lives, work together to foster mutual growth. If the karmic retribution from past lives is particularly favorable, the blessings and fortune in this life should be exceptionally abundant and free from scarcity. This is a karmic condition fully endowed with blessings, what your human world refers to as "being born with a golden spoon in one's mouth."
This signifies the possession of abundant blessings and fortune, allowing one to enjoy all aspects of "happiness, prosperity, longevity, wealth, and nobility" without excessive toil. However, if one's blessings from past lives are insufficient, then in this lifetime, greater effort is required to accumulate the karmic conditions for material abundance. This involves integrating all food chains and transactional chains, enabling you to enjoy the karmic fruits of material prosperity.
If one lacks any blessings from past lives, then in this lifetime, seeking favorable circumstances for wealth and resources will be deficient. One must exert great effort, yet may only receive a fraction of the blessings. If, in this life, one does not strive but instead places excessive hopes on others, such an approach is even more undesirable. It is essential to understand the necessity of striving for survival in the human realm.
Blessings are elevated through learning and growth.
It is through the accumulation of blessings that one attains fulfillment, which lies in mutual growth and nourishment among all beings. If one can further combine this with personal effort, without relying solely on past-life blessings, but rather striving for elevation in this very lifetime, then the desire for smooth and abundant karmic conditions is self-created, allowing oneself to benefit. This provides genuine space for benefit within the sentient world.
In this context, if one lacks both fate and fortune, it is possible to achieve and obtain through all human efforts. This condition, as commonly expressed among humanity as, "What is destined to be will come, what is not destined should not be forced," exists within what is known in the human world as "fatalism."
In this world of human compassion, if viewed through the lens of past and present karma, what has passed is already gone. It is essential to understand the core structure of the present-day Chongxin lineage, as well as the principle that "what is destined will come in time; what is not destined must be cultivated." This serves as mutual encouragement for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-seeds, guiding them to create and achieve virtuous causes and conditions.
It is precisely through one's own efforts that achievements are attained, and by altering the reliance on fatalism itself, one can accumulate truly abundant resources in this present life. For all students of the Chongxin lineage, this serves as mutual encouragement, enabling you to create the great causes and conditions that were previously lacking, as the saying goes: "When fate does not provide, one must forge it."
All that can be attained by sentient beings among humankind
It is said to be attained through one's own efforts, and only after such learning and growth can one truly possess the great blessings and fulfill the reliance required by fortune itself. Within this lies the necessity of one's own diligent work, which enables the accumulation achieved through growth and learning, learning and growth.
There exists an essential interdependence, and within the fundamental framework of the Chongxin lineage, it is precisely to enable you all to attain abundant creation in this very lifetime. You should bid farewell to poverty and prevent it from encroaching upon your lives. Do you wish for this? (Yes!) How wise of you.
I hope that everyone, upon entering the Chongxin lineage, can genuinely transform all their shortcomings and inadequacies. Only then will you truly possess a richness and fulfillment, which is the blessing you can enjoy in the present moment. This is what we call the abundant growth and learning gained through steady progress—each step leaving a solid footprint, every imprint marking a steadfast evolution and elevation.
Education rooted in growth provides the most suitable foundation for lifelong learning.
Accumulated through the lessons of experience,  
Fulfilling blessings depends on oneself.
Learning and growth are interdependent, accumulating with each successive return.
Empirical knowledge coupled with wisdom—  
Applied aptly, blessings are secured.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement. For all students of the Chongxin lineage, in each and every cycle, applying knowledge to the orientation of survival is what we call the accumulation of abundant virtue. Only when virtue is fully accumulated can true blessings and affinities be complete for you to pioneer. Do you understand? Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this creation. With heartfelt gratitude! Farewell, everyone.
Marshal Yue Fei of the Ultimate Summit
The descent of the Wuji gave rise to destiny,  
Marshal Yue Wu ascends the stage, his form complete.
All virtuous sages are well and greatly auspicious,  
Celebrating the sacred birthday of Magu.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, within our lineage, the Celestial Venerable Xuankong Longxiang has descended to compose the ninth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter presents the fundamental framework for growth and learning, offering you the opportunity to benefit yourselves. Through the process of learning and growth, you may cultivate your own blessings and accumulate abundant merits.
This is a step-by-step process of "learning and growing, growing and learning," which benefits oneself. The world of sentient beings operates in this way. You may reflect carefully: from your birth until now, have you not been learning and growing in every cycle, accumulating all experiences and knowledge, and applying them to the next sequence of affairs? This is what truly benefits you. Without exception, everyone follows this path.

Humanity must reform their undesirable innate dispositions.
The process of nurturing and education can be observed: the interplay of learning to grow and growing through learning serves to transform one's undesirable habits, thereby generating functional benefits. This provides the fundamental conditions for self-improvement and elevation, which serves as the standard for determining whether sentient beings can rely on and sustain themselves in this human world.
One can understand how to change the influence of past habits on oneself. Thus, all habits and tendencies in human life are the result of cyclical accumulation over countless lifetimes. In this human world, even among siblings born to the same parents in the same lifetime, the reason each individual's habits and tendencies differ lies precisely in this.
It is precisely about refining one's undesirable innate dispositions. Why then should the human world undergo such refinement? It is because when one brings their own temperament and ingrained habits into this world to nurture life, they inevitably carry with them all the karmic causes and effects from past lives. These become the functional forces that shape all survival orientations in this present life, accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Moreover, it is closely linked to one's living environment, as well as the genes and lifestyle habits of one's parents. This involves a habitual process of mutual learning that supports one's daily survival orientation. Within this dynamic, how can one truly elevate themselves to contribute to the betterment of the human world?
In the human world, one can grow and elevate oneself.
Nor is it confined solely to the realm of human society, where it is referred to as learning and growth alone; moreover, because learning and growth are precisely interconnected links, each process shaped by causes and conditions, while nurturing the human world, must also nurture all the principal causes and conditions themselves—this is the foundation of nurturing life.
In this process, the habits and tendencies of the past become prominent. If these tendencies are wholesome, they create a favorable living space for oneself. However, if they are unwholesome and attract various detrimental influences to nourish them, such negative habits will be imposed upon the human world, thereby mutually reinforcing the direction of existence.
It is precisely because one cannot find a comfortable space for nurturing life that all habits and dispositions, whether good or bad, inevitably affect oneself, leading to comfort or discomfort in one’s surroundings. Thus, it is through refining undesirable dispositions and habits that the human world operates in this way, connecting all of one’s past accumulations with the experiences of this present life.
All aspects—habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature—are combined together. If these deep-rooted tendencies, accumulated over countless generations, cannot be refined and transformed, they will continue to accumulate from one lifetime to the next. However, when one cultivates positive habits, inertia, personality, and innate nature within oneself, they coalesce into excellent habitual qualities.
The purpose of change is to grow.
When negative habits and ingrained tendencies intertwine, such habitual patterns will accumulate across lifetimes, repeatedly and progressively layering upon one another. As these detrimental habits persist, they will manifest in the course of your present life, as well as in all aspects of your current daily conduct.
You people of the human world should carefully reflect: do you have such habits that have entered into your way of life in this lifetime? If you rely on each person's habitual tendencies, it will often cause you to encounter obstacles and adversities. Many instances of ignorance will also arise around you, hindering the manifestation of favorable conditions that could arise from clarity.
This is the human world, a realm where all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children inevitably encounter points of contradiction. In facing all habits and predispositions of the human world, it is essential to transform and refine them, granting oneself the primary cause and condition to truly ascend! This is precisely the functional effect of cross-applications accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Furthermore, in the human world, one will inevitably manifest such negative habits. The key lies in how to transform and rectify these influences in all actions. Changing one’s own negative habits and behaviors ultimately depends on oneself. Regardless of the workings of cause and effect in the human realm, sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas’ disciples will inevitably live within the circumstances of this world.
All negative habits are difficult to overcome.
One often inadvertently reveals one's own ignorance, an ignorance that carries significant harm to oneself. In the process of encountering all forms of ignorance and unawareness, it is precisely an opportunity to evaluate the human world: How have past lives, accumulated karma, and the habits and tendencies of this present life manifested? In the face of human factors that can be changed, one can rectify and refine these detrimental habits.
Furthermore, human factors can lead to success or failure, prosperity or decline, strength or weakness. This is because all human beings in the sentient world, while living and sustaining themselves in the human realm, often combine the influences of past lives, previous lives, and the present life. If one's inherent tendencies are virtuous, it indicates that the cultivation in previous lives was fairly commendable.
If one's habits are poor and harmful, these are often the cumulative and entangled effects of karmic retribution from past lives. Not only do they form from negative habitual tendencies, but it is also uncertain whether they can be rectified in the present moment. How, then, can one bring about change? Often, it is only when problems arise that the desire to correct them emerges. Yet even in such cases, there is still hope for redemption.
If a problem arises and remains uncorrected and unchanged, it is undoubtedly like trying to carve dry wood—a difficult task. Yet, even if the wood is dry and hard to sculpt, it may still be manageable. What is most feared is the situation of "rotten wood that cannot be carved and can only be used as firewood." In such circumstances, ask yourselves: do your habits and tendencies place you in the category of dry wood or rotten wood?
Habits are shaped by the environment.
This classification is based on the potential of all human beings: those who can be molded, carved, and perfected, and those who cannot be molded, carved, or perfected. It further distinguishes among undesirable human traits, likening them to withered wood, rotten wood, and wood that cannot be polished—another way of differentiating between what can be shaped and what cannot.
The negative habits and influences from past lives carried into this present life are meant to cause you considerable suffering and hardship in this lifetime, in order to refine and rectify yourself. This human world is the optimal place for addressing the detrimental habits and tendencies from previous existences. Every sentient being, each original spirit and child of Buddha, enters the human realm in this manner—this is what is called cultivation. If one does not engage in cultivation, what then will become of them?
It is the accumulation of past lives, previous lives, and the present life combined, presenting you with the test questions of your negative habits and tendencies from these lives, allowing you to answer them once more. If you can pass or change, you will surely reduce the repeated appearance and tempering of such trials.
What is most feared is when all the negative habits, tendencies, personalities, and innate dispositions accumulated over countless lifetimes, from past lives to the present, converge. Oh! Then, in the face of trials, they will repeat again and again, with each round of questioning and testing demanding answers—how to pass through, how to refine oneself, and how to change?
Humanity possesses many undesirable traits.
Moreover, it is to bring together all your undesirable habits, undesirable traits, undesirable dispositions, and various other issues in this lifetime; time and again, through repeated trials that leave you disoriented and misguided, it is to truly rectify all that you are. And in this process of rectification, what do you suppose it feels like to you?
It is both a tempering of the heart, nature, and temperament, as well as a demonic testing of the heart, nature, and temperament. If you can change, many trials will surely be reduced; if you cannot change, then all your undesirable habits, undesirable inertia, undesirable personality, and undesirable disposition in this life will be adjusted and rectified, making you polished and gleaming—just like a shining golden bell (in Taiwanese dialect).
After your repair and adjustment, observe how your mindset, your approach to challenges, and your actions guided by wisdom have changed. For an ordinary person, undergoing such repairs would result in a state of clarity and restraint, no longer daring to cause trouble. Moreover, all the trials from your past and accumulated lifetimes are presented to you once again, offering repeated opportunities to face and overcome them.
Changing one's habits is of considerable importance.
When will you pass, and when will you receive the test questions? You believe that such test questions are meant to guide you on how to adjust, change, and refine yourselves. This is because sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddhas, undergo cultivation across past lives, previous existences, and the present life. To ensure that you can smoothly pass the tests set for yourselves, various methods will be employed to temper and hone you.
Only when it can truly be elevated one day, and thus the human world is transcended, can genuine transformation be achieved by remolding and altering one's own temperament and ingrained habits. Furthermore, through the interplay of past lives, previous existences, and the present life combined, if one fails to change in this lifetime, there will be no choice but to return again and again in the next life, time after time, in endless cycles of futility.
It will inevitably present you with the most lacking and most troublesome issues, in order to adjust, transform, and mend them. Moreover, such circumstances are not a lack of compassion toward humanity, but rather a means of guiding you toward entering a more refined state of character for renewal and elevation. This is the genuine way to enable all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children to truly ascend and transcend.
Humans have a multitude of bad habits.
It is not merely a matter of being laden with habits, but also harboring hopes for the future, aspiring to merge and harmonize with the heavenly realms of the Divine! Do you think such cultivators, burdened with these negative habits, can ascend to the celestial realms simply by entering a religion and calling it cultivation? It is fundamentally impossible. Moreover, in the Divine Heavens, there are no immortals or Buddhas tainted by negative energies or harmful habits.
If such a thing exists, would you consider it a strange immortal! Could such a heavenly realm be possible? It is impossible. All that pertains to the human world is precisely through the synthesis of one’s own accumulations from past lives, previous lives, and the present life; only then can adjustments, changes, and corrections be made—that is, one’s own undesirable habits and tendencies.
True integration lies in the transcendence and return of a great collective, which is bound to achieve completion and ascension. This is profoundly genuine, for it enables sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children to attain elevation. Moreover, such trials, through cycles of recurrence, allow you to refine yourselves until you shine like pure gold, thereby achieving genuine elevation and transcendence.
Nurturing and education form the foundation,  
Fostering learning and growth with greater ease.
Cultivate and transform a bad temper; rising above it depends on oneself.
The celestial beings and Buddhas of the sentient heavens  
Unite as one to accomplish this work.
The Great Dao encompasses heaven and earth, and its profound virtue nourishes all. To propagate and extend its influence is the very framework of its being.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, fellow original spirits and Buddha's disciples, to encourage one another! Only by cultivating and transforming all of one's negative habits and tendencies can one truly elevate oneself, thereby granting oneself the heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions for growth! This will lead to virtuous progress, continuous elevation, and transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang
Profound and deep are the causes and conditions of the Ultimate Void,  
Which give birth to all living beings and form their very structure.
The Lady today meets the virtuous student;  
The great path of heaven and earth brings blessings from within.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Void Phoenix Soaring from our lineage has descended to compose the tenth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This is to transform all of your habitual tendencies, presenting you with a test to refine and perfect your own undesirable "temperaments and habits."
If one can truly change, they will avoid encountering the next round of correction. You may carefully observe whether all cultivation processes in the human world follow this pattern. It is through the repeated corrections of your undesirable habits and tendencies that you are genuinely elevated, enabling yourself to ascend and become an accomplished being.
I wonder if you are aware, or perhaps remain oblivious—that is, to distinguish and judge within all that you grasp and control! Can you comprehend the profound dedication of the Immortals and Buddhas, the teachers of the Chongxin lineage? Their frustration stems from a desire to see improvement, hoping to foster virtuous causes and conditions for all, enabling upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.

Poor qualities must be rectified.
In the process of cultivating growth through learning, it is essential to understand that in this world, transformation is achieved by addressing one’s own shortcomings. Without such refinement, it is difficult to truly develop the capacity to become a useful vessel. This principle applies universally, regardless of ethnicity or all living beings.
Through learning and growth, experience accumulates and is applied to the next endeavor, structuring the capacity for action regarding matters themselves. This provides a standard for conduct, allowing one to adjust and change their own shortcomings and negative habits, while also becoming a dependable vessel to rely on, fostering personal upward growth.
In the human world, refining oneself to become a vessel and ascending to higher realms is fundamentally rooted in rectifying all shortcomings within human society. It involves addressing one's own various detrimental deficiencies and functions—whether they be habits, tendencies, personality traits, inherent dispositions, or other operational aspects—and determining how to cultivate and amend all that is lacking within oneself.
Furthermore, in the human realm, it is precisely a world of endurance. Sentient beings, regardless of the environment or nation they are in, are all the same. Moreover, the human world is one of mutual interaction, and this holds true for all races alike. In the face of this world of endurance, can one elevate oneself? Or is one unable to change one’s own negative habits and tendencies?
How to Elevate the Quality of Humanity
Moreover, how can one elevate oneself upward? This is impossible. It must be understood that within the human realm, as long as one enters the domain of the earthly star, one is inevitably bound by mutual opposition and cannot escape such limitations. The world of sentient beings is precisely one of mutual opposition, constrained by limitations and obstacles. It is essential to strengthen one's resolve for the transformation that cultivators must undergo.
Only then might one have such a celestial opportunity and good affinity. Yet, why is it that among the many who cultivate, so few attain enlightenment? It is because they fail to comprehend the world of human affairs—a world of mutual interactions. Moreover, sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s children, are unable to ascend primarily because they cannot truly reform their own unwholesome habits and peculiar temperaments.
Therefore, the inability to possess the fundamental conditions for genuine cultivation is also due to this. If one aspires to attain achievement in this lifetime through unwavering determination and faith, it requires utmost diligence. This involves reforming one's habits in accordance with the true nature of worldly principles and human hearts.
It also lies in human factors, which often become obstacles that hinder one's own progress, preventing genuine elevation. How can one truly advance and transcend? This is akin to flawed products, referring to sentient beings—the original spiritual Buddhas—descending into the turbid human world, where their inherent nature and habits from the past are essentially unqualified.
Refinement leads to significant transformation.
In this life and this world, descending to the space of the Earthly Nether Star to realign and cultivate anew, one often fails to clearly perceive all past habits and tendencies. This existence thus becomes a fresh start, yet with all one’s shortcomings still present. Consequently, in the human realm, one will face trials again and again, time after time, cycle after cycle, so that one may ultimately pass through them smoothly.
It is precisely about reforming one's own shortcomings, but if one cannot improve upon these flaws, how can one rectify past deficiencies? This means that the unqualified exam questions from previous lives or accumulated lifetimes will reappear. If such questions remain consistently unpassable, what can be done then?
It will repeatedly emerge, challenging you time and again. If you can pass through each of these recurring trials, then the same test will no longer appear within the scope of your examinations. The exercises that cannot be overcome in the human world are, in fact, a transformative process through which you can change and refine yourself.
It is precisely because each and every trial allows one to accumulate firsthand experience that is deeply felt and unforgettable, enabling one to amend the shortcomings and deficiencies of past lives and the present. Only through such genuine refinement can you carefully observe that, from birth to old age and death, the process remains the same.
All growth requires necessary pruning.
Since birth, have we not continuously refined various aspects of ourselves throughout the process of learning and growth? We have changed many ways of thinking and perspectives, and corrected many undesirable temperaments. This journey of learning and growth begins right after birth, and as we grow older, we start learning to read and write, which inevitably contributes to our personal development.
As one grows older, learning becomes the path to maturity. Upon entering society after youth, true learning and growth begin, allowing knowledge to be put into practice. All the education and learning acquired in school in the past merely served to understand principles; it is only upon entering society that the true function of learning is applied to one's present self, enabling growth through continuous learning.
It is about rectifying one's own shortcomings and deficiencies. Through learning and growth, one can avoid falling into situations that are difficult to navigate smoothly. Learning and growth involve the re-creation of one's own experiences, allowing for the accumulation of wisdom that can be applied truthfully and effectively. This process benefits one's personal development and contributes to the enhancement of all that is good within humanity and sentient beings.
This human factor, through self-correction of one's own shortcomings, inevitably leads to an understanding of where one's deficiencies and inadequacies lie. The very lack inherent in this human factor is precisely what, through years and seasons of refining one's thoughts and perspectives, enables a genuine and effective application of one's abilities in the future, guiding one toward positive learning and growth.
To become a vessel of virtue is to exemplify human goodness.
Rather than falling into misfortune, one should seek a life of peace and comfort; it is through continuous self-improvement and transformation that the human world enables individuals to grow and accumulate wisdom through learning. From the moment you are born, you begin to learn, to grow, to accumulate, and to apply.
This is the manifestation of wisdom; by further acquiring knowledge, one can enrich the realm of one's own life. This pursuit helps avoid falling into realms of misfortune and adversity, while fostering smooth and harmonious conditions. If one's knowledge is insufficient and there is no opportunity for learning and growth, it becomes necessary to rely on the experiences of others to navigate situations. This, in turn, offers an opportunity for self-reflection and refinement.
It is also a matter for oneself, hoping to truly achieve maturity one day, and thus maturity can also be described as: achieving the world of human morality. Whether one cultivates and strengthens their will or not marks the boundary for the future—whether it is transcendence, ascension, reincarnation, or descent. Moreover, it is only after entering religion that one can truly transform and function in their own life.
In the process of striving for self-realization, one inevitably encounters uncertainties that foster growth. Within this growth, all learning experiences encompass both positive and negative aspects, achievements and failures. This, too, forms the karmic condition for humanity to pursue refinement and transformation in the world. It is through such conditions that one may one day attain true personal accomplishment, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.
To become a vessel is the aim of humanity.
It also hinges on human agency, determining how one can judge whether one has become a useful vessel! That is, by setting an example with exemplary conduct, one can change and rectify past shortcomings and deficiencies, thereby transforming into a useful person; otherwise, at the very least, one should not disrupt the peace and comfortable living space of society and the environment.
Human nature is inherently good, yet it becomes tainted by the worldly influences, transforming into the essence of evil. Thus, the nature of both good and evil has long existed within the essence of humanity, merely awaiting the right time, conditions, and environment to reveal which inherent quality will manifest—whether it is the Buddha-nature, the demonic nature, or the nature of equanimity that comes to the fore.
It is essential to distinguish that the demand for elevating such vessels represents a favorable condition for the essence of superior artifacts. Human factors in the human world inherently possess a dependent nature. All orientations of survival in the human realm will inevitably clarify or pollute the essence of one's intrinsic nature. This is determined by life habits, which are referred to as pollution or clarity.
The cultivation of such a vessel requires the provision of a clear and pure causal essence. How to refine and shape it into a vessel, without disturbing the peace and tranquility of the social environment, is rooted in the inherent nature of human beings, who possess such causal conditions for growth. All functions and roles within this human world are to be elevated and transcended through learning.
When refined into a vessel, it will ascend and grow.
However, the reason why one cannot truly break through and ascend, remaining instead in the mundane world, lies in the inability to maintain steadfast resolve. Rectifying and transforming one's own shortcomings and inadequacies is precisely what overcomes the obstacles hindering one's rise and transcendence. Therefore, in the human world, providing the true foundation for all original spirits and Buddha's disciples to genuinely elevate themselves is the authentic nature of this path.
It is also a true and beneficial return for oneself! This process involves immersing oneself in the genuine principles and being shaped by them. Originally, entering into religion should lead to elevation and progress. Yet, why does one remain trapped in obstacles that hinder growth? The reason lies in merely entering religion without truly undergoing transformation afterward.
Yet, they are unable to achieve true transformation and refinement, merely claiming that entering religion is "only about aligning with goodness," but "failing to transcend upward." Moreover, after entering religion, they all believe they are under the protection of immortals and Buddhas or favored by the religion's chief deity. Little do they realize that, due to human factors, they have developed a dependency on these beliefs.
If one does not truly resolve all of one's shortcomings, even after entering a religion lifetime after lifetime, cycle after cycle, one will still be bound by deeply ingrained negative habits. After this life ends, the next will merely repeat the same patterns. Alas! In the human world, it is precisely this entering of religions lifetime after lifetime, cycle after cycle, that is called learning and growth.
Diligent study leads to growth.
It is essential to understand that if the habits and dispositions of all human beings remain unchanged, it will be difficult to achieve ascension and transcendence. This means that in the next life or the next cycle, all your shortcomings and inadequacies will have to be rectified and transformed anew. Whether one enters any religion or sect, the principle remains the same: whether change can truly occur is not guaranteed!
Whether one is part of the Chongxin Sect lineage or not, the principle remains the same: if the negative habits from past lives are not corrected, this life will merely be a process of re-cultivation and transformation. However, if even within the Chongxin Sect lineage such changes cannot be achieved, there is little need to comment on other religious paths! Moreover, through personal cultivation, one elevates and refines one's inherent tendencies.
Upon entering the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, the Heavens bestowed numerous profound celestial opportunities and favorable conditions. Regarding the trials that have existed since ancient times, they have all been revealed. For you, this indeed signifies "attaining enlightenment in the present moment and achieving Buddhahood in this very lifetime"—a truth beyond doubt. However, the question remains: can the undesirable aspects of habits, tendencies, inherent dispositions, and personal character be truly transformed?
It is precisely the most difficult obstacle for the sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of this world of emotions to comprehend. This is a test question set by the Heavens in the examination, allowing all of you to truly "ignite the lamp of the heart and manifest the Buddha-nature." It is both genuine and correct; as for how to cultivate and rectify such habitual tendencies within yourselves, it depends on each individual's response to the test questions for discernment, which is the true nature of reality.
The Enigma of the Ages as a Test  
Shifting Habits, Inertia, and Innate Nature
A flawed character is unacceptable — spiritual practice means reforming one's temperament.
A lifetime of religious practice is genuine only when it transforms one's ingrained habits.
Refining oneself into a vessel relies on one's own efforts;  
The heavens respond through verification.
This verse! Let it serve as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples. Truly dissect all the delusions and shortcomings you have accumulated since ancient times. Otherwise, after entering religion, life after life will remain the same. If the immortals and Buddhas do not point out the truth, how then can you ever truly ascend and transcend? Reflect upon this and you will understand the profound intentions behind the efforts of the immortal and Buddha teachers. Thank you all for your dedication. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Manjushri Bodhisattva of the Wuji
Education arises from the boundless interplay of causes and conditions,  
Manjusri accomplishes the primordial spiritual covenant.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet the worthy student;  
To cultivate and refine into a vessel must be clear and distinct.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, our lineage’s Celestial Venerable of the Void Principle and Governance has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter analyzes the causes and conditions for refining and perfecting one’s vessel, a topic explored since ancient times. It aims to help you truly understand, having entered religious cultivation, how you should progress and grow.
Some have been cultivating for decades, while others are relatively new to the practice. Among them, the strength of each person’s cultivation varies; some have indeed achieved merit and attained certain stages of realization. Yet, why have they been unable to overcome the obstacles that hinder further progress? Where exactly do these barriers lie? Through the process of today’s discourse, you must come to understand all the hidden truths—how they truly are.
Thus, one can understand why, life after life and generation after generation, one has entered into religion, yet has been unable to cultivate and refine oneself into a vessel. The cause lies precisely here. To comprehend how to cultivate and transform is the true path. With this, good and virtuous causes and conditions will surely arise, ascend, and elevate beyond, benefiting not only oneself but also all sentient beings of humanity. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

第十二回　 品質優異
All qualities are on the rise.
In the process of refining and shaping all human beings, the purpose is precisely to elevate and improve their quality. This refinement is carried out within the human world, and whether it pertains to quality, cultivation, commerce, family, career, or any other aspect, it is all the same. It is only through various forms of refinement and reorganization that one can avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Moreover! It will create a superior quality, which is truly excellent. This is the right path for the Da Dao world, where all races are treated without distinction, and everyone is uplifted in this manner. It also allows for growth through human efforts, and in the human world, we have already come to understand the factors of DNA.
However, the means to enhance the quality of RNA remain insufficient. In the human world, there is indeed a rough process of improvement, where inferior qualities are repeatedly revised through successive cycles. Without undergoing these continuous rounds of modification, how can the upward enhancement of superior quality be achieved?
It is precisely through human intervention that a flawed product can be remade and refined. This process of remaking and refining poor quality can be observed in every aspect of the human world. Each moment and circumstance follows the same pattern, whether it pertains to any object, vessel, or the cultivation and transformation of all human actions and conduct.
The human world has entered an era of high quality.
Similarly, this applies to all aspects of human life, including religious beliefs, business, education, family, interpersonal relationships, and every process therein. You may carefully reflect on this: within such circumstances, how can one repair and transform flawed and deficient aspects, elevating them to become refined qualities that are cherished by humanity.
This is also the fundamental cause and condition demanded by all nations in the current era. You may further contemplate in detail: why should the DNA of the human world be elevated to RNA? Moreover, how can such ordinary genes be enhanced upward, transforming them into superior qualities and genetics, and how can the attainment of QNA's self-luminescence be achieved?
It is through your unwavering determination and perseverance that you can achieve success in this lifetime, and also contribute to the uplifting of the human world. With the firm resolve and perseverance within yourself, you can truly attain this. If your perseverance falters, you are bound to abandon your efforts halfway. This is determined by the choices made within the human world.
Furthermore, it does not differentiate between individual habits and inertia, nor does it consider all inherent genetic qualities in the pursuit of elevation. This is because, within the human world and its specific spatiotemporal environment, the necessity for upward elevation arises from the joint deliberation between the Celestial Jade Emperor of Haotian and the Primordial Mother of Wuji regarding the current situation, specifically aimed at the transcendence and elevation of all beings on the Earthly Star.
Quality Elevates What Humanity Cherishes
If not for this, after traversing over thirty thousand years of time and space, we would merely remain stagnant here, unable to ascend further. For the planet Dimingxing in the present era, this is precisely the moment to reveal other cosmic star systems. The transcendence of over four hundred million galaxies will serve as a model for all star systems and galaxies—whether already developed, undeveloped, to be developed in the future, or yet to be developed.
Manifestations are grounded in genuine reliance, and thus the Heavenly Jade Emperor bestows grace upon all sentient original spirit Buddhas. This is precisely achieved by dispatching over two million high-tech talents to descend upon the Earthly Nether Star to accomplish fulfillment. This is not false speech, but absolute truth, serving the great sacred tasks and grand mission of the Earthly Nether Star's realm, elevating and advancing it upward.
The lineage of the Honored Heart Sect has indeed traversed over 140 years, established through the collective deliberation of the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara and the celestial immortals and buddhas within this temporal and spatial environment, to achieve elevation and fulfillment. Moreover, you have endured countless lifetimes, rarely encountering such a profoundly auspicious opportunity as the emergence of buddhas and saints. It is essential for you to rely on your own buddha-nature as the foundation for future manifestation, for this is the true path.
It is also essential to advance all scientific and technological civilizations, not only to truly discern both "form and mind," but also to mutually assist "the two principles of mind and form." This will provide you with the fundamental cause and condition for genuine return and transcendence. This is not merely empty talk; it is a practical manifestation within the human world.
The Varied Qualities of Different Heavenly Realms
It is essential to elevate the quality to a sublime level. Therefore, the present connection to the future time and space lies in establishing the well-being of humanity's future world in the here and now. Moreover, you may say: this is precisely being the vanguard of the Great Path of Heaven. Furthermore, the immortals and buddhas from the realms of the Void, the Wuji, the Haotian Heaven, the Western Paradise, and the Southern Heavens also descend to assist the Chongxin lineage.
Throughout the ages, such manifestations have rarely been revealed in the human world. Only in this present moment does such a profound opportunity arise. For you or for those in the future, the chance to encounter this celestial alignment is exceedingly rare! Had this auspicious convergence occurred twenty years earlier or later, it would have been difficult to achieve the present celestial timing and space, which can now create the conditions for great future accomplishments.
To all students of the Chongxin lineage, are you willing to join the celestial Buddhas and teachers in undertaking this supreme sacred duty and great mission in the human world? (We are willing!) Moreover, for all students of the Chongxin lineage, if you now resolve to rectify all past flaws and unwholesome habits through cultivation, you will nurture goodness and ascend in spiritual growth.
This will truly help you to reform all the habits, tendencies, inherent qualities, and individual characteristics accumulated over this and past lifetimes, by transforming the undesirable shortcomings. It is precisely through changing these negative traits that one can genuinely achieve upward progress and undergo true refinement. After entering the Chongxin lineage, have you not felt that you yourself have already been growing?
Excellent Quality Control Function
Regarding knowledge, experience, and wisdom, there will gradually be an elevation through the accumulation of wisdom, which is cultivated for future virtue. By allowing virtue to serve as fertile ground for deep cultivation, and further nurturing this fertile ground with blessings to accumulate merit, this also ensures that you are truly endowed in the present moment. In the future, the achievements and fruition of merit will be attained as truly and faithfully as they are cultivated.
An ancient saying goes: "When one child attains the Way, nine generations of ancestors and seven generations of forebears all ascend to transcendence." This proverb signifies that what you can attain now also enables the nine generations of ancestors and seven generations of forebears to ascend entirely. However, what about future descendants? This is not only about the complete ascension of your nine generations of ancestors and seven generations of forebears; it also truly brings about the growth of goodness for your descendants.
Moreover, there may also be the fortunate destiny of truly high-tech talents bestowed upon your household. Through your efforts, this will establish a coherent and excellent primary causal foundation for both your elders and descendants, enabling you to transform the undesirable genetic essence inherent within yourselves.
This is not only for your immediate benefit and the benefit of your elders, but also for the benefit of your descendants. It goes beyond the ancient saying: "Nine generations of ancestors and seven generations of forebears are all elevated." Moreover, it first benefits yourself, then your ancestors, and further benefits your descendants. Under such extraordinary conditions, where in the world can one find such a favorable divine opportunity and auspicious affinity?
Requirements for Superior Quality
This extraordinary and profound propagation is a unique celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity found only within the Chongxin lineage. It is precisely this that enables you to truly benefit and attain in the present moment, embodying the nature of truth and reality. Moreover, this celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity, having passed the examination of the Supreme Heavens, serves to elevate and fulfill you through your sacrifices, dedication, selflessness, and non-action.
It is precisely because of the principle that "for every bit of effort one gives, one will receive a thousandfold in return." In this world, only the Chongxin Lineage currently possesses such a rare and profound affinity. Moreover, all those who participate in and support the Chongxin Lineage, contributing to the propagation and realization of the Great Dao, have thus led the heavens to impose a rather stringent demand upon the Chongxin Lineage.
Moreover, it manifests throughout the vast universe through the unity and collective expansion of the whole. This is precisely the divine opportunity and auspicious affinity for the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" to compose its works—specifically aimed at all those who participate in and support the compilation of celestial texts, enabling them to obtain firsthand revelations bestowed by the divine providence of Heaven. This, in turn, elevates and transcends all deities, Buddhas, and disciples of the Chongxin lineage.
Furthermore, the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Tao Academy and others are capable of undertaking truly transcendent and extraordinary missions of the Great Tao. You should carefully contemplate whether, when comparing the entire system and organization of the Chongxin lineage with other religions, our Chongxin surpasses them by far. This is evident in the methods of salvation through the Wuji Great Tao Academy and the distinct ways of transferring merits and virtues.
Supreme Conditions for Transcendence and Elevation
Furthermore, it surpasses other religions significantly, and in terms of the spiritual attainments for the future, it also excels greatly. Why does the Infinite Sacred Mother not grant the Chongxin Sect the same method of salvation as commonly practiced in the outside world? It is essential to understand that the salvation of ancestors, relatives, and departed souls represents a truly supreme opportunity for education and enlightenment—a profound heavenly secret.
Nor should it be compared with the Chongxin Sect using the transcendent methods of the external world, which are akin to a marketplace. Over the past eight years, regarding all the educational courses, how to provide genuine and abundant resources for spiritual cultivation scholars lies precisely in sharing the same time, space, and karmic conditions, yet the fruits achieved through these educational courses are not the same.
However, the Limitless Heavenly Mother also demands that the Chongxin Lineage undertake even more extraordinary sacred duties and missions. This is precisely the case! It is to truly earn the affirmation and approval from the sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples beyond, as well as to receive the affirmation and approval from the Heavenly Realm. When viewed through the celestial texts and magazines of the Chongxin Lineage, this remains equally true.
Whether it be the layout, printing, typesetting, or paper quality, every aspect is of the finest selection. Considering the conditions under which it is gifted, it is truly an unparalleled choice, far beyond comparison with commercially sold publications. The Chongxin Lineage has indeed surpassed even this standard, yet in an era of constant change and progress, we must still guard against complacency.
Superior quality opens the door to great opportunities.
It is essential to regularly refine and adapt, in order to enhance and improve quality in response to the ever-changing circumstances of time and space. This allows the Chongxin lineage to undergo renewal and ascend upward. Through everyone's dedicated efforts, we can witness the gathering and propagation of over 420 million high-tech talents.
Such is the will of Heaven; likewise, all deities within the Chongxin lineage are also as such. In response to the expectations of the Wuji Huangmu and Haotian Jade Emperor, there will be even richer functions and benefits, gathered to promote transformation and elevation. It is precisely for the sake of excellent quality and the ability to continuously create new opportunities of the times that it is necessary to renew and improve day by day, constantly refining and adjusting.
The same applies to the Chongxin Sect. In the future, its missions of salvation and propagation will undergo continuous refinement, transformation, and elevation with each passing day! Under such extraordinary conditions and affinities, there will be virtuous growth, advancement, and transcendence. This is precisely what all the sages, immortals, buddhas, and disciples of the Chongxin Sect must genuinely cultivate and enhance, fulfilling their responsibilities to the Heavenly Realm.
The effectiveness of cultivation lies in transformation,  
And the causes and conditions for refinement are thus favorable.
Excellent quality yields fine results, with even greater benefits and efficacy anticipated.
A sublime affinity descends upon the Chongxin Temple,  
The Great Dao, selfless, guides all along this shared path.
The virtue of Heaven and Earth nourishes all living beings,  
Returning to perfection to draw close in kinship.
This verse! May it serve as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples! It is indeed right to genuinely create and elevate the future technological civilization, thereby bestowing numerous blessings upon the descendants of sentient beings for generations to come. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. Deeply grateful! Farewell!
Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta of the Boundless Realm
Impartial, selfless, and without bias or contradiction,  
The Great Potential arrives to expound and elucidate the principle.
The bodhisattvas gather with all virtuous beings,  
Spreading teachings and guiding them thus toward liberation.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Heavenly Venerable of Virtue Transmission from the Void of our lineage has descended to compose the twelfth chapter of "Great Tao Heaven and Earth." It bestows upon the human world an exceptional and transcendent quality, applicable without distinction to cultivation, learning, education, enlightenment, as well as all aspects of commerce, interpersonal relationships, family life, and more.
It is essential to genuinely cultivate and transform all qualities, elevating them into superior and exceptional attributes. This process enables genuine self-improvement and transcendence, offering humanity the opportunity for virtuous growth and elevation. It is precisely such excellent and high-quality traits, which are cherished by humanity, that embody true authenticity.

第十三回　 提昇根基
High quality and strengths are sure to be well-received.
Observing how an undertaking is established reveals the conditions under which it is built. This process, shaped by human effort, elevates the fundamental causes and conditions, thereby enhancing quality and transcending it. It does not discriminate among the foundational qualities but fulfills them all, allowing the essential nature to be elevated.
It is through the cultivation of superior conditions that growth is granted, elevation is bestowed, transcendence is achieved, and refinement is attained. This upward progression in practice is essential, as it applies indiscriminately to all sentient beings regardless of their inherent qualities or the chains of affairs they are part of, as well as to all chains of affairs within every orientation of existence.
Thus, to elevate what was originally "coarse material," it is necessary to engage with the human world in the current era, providing abundant resources for the world of sentient beings. This serves as the primary foundation for advancing all aspects of the human world. Moreover, in the 21st century, it is further aligned with the fundamental framework established by Heaven.
In the current Third Epoch, many opportunities for elevation and transcendence are provided that were unattainable in other times and environments. This involves rectifying the flaws and errors within the human world, thereby enhancing its quality. It is through this process that the world inhabited by sentient human beings can evolve and grow.
Quality management yields excellent results.
Furthermore, to enhance the quality of the foundation is to elevate human genetic potential toward transcendence. It is essential to achieve genuine transcendence over the current circumstances in order to foster this qualitative growth. To this end, the Heavens have "borrowed" over two million high-tech talents from extraterrestrial civilizations to descend and assist humanity. Through research, invention, and creation, they work to popularize advancements that bring comfort and convenience to all.
Granting all human realms the opportunity for every primordial spirit and Buddha-child to gain benefits is indeed the righteous path. This is made possible by the divine initiation of elevating technological civilization within the human world, providing future generations of primordial spirits and Buddha-children with the foundation for advancement and transcendence. In this way, all endeavors within such human realms will truly yield fruitful rewards.
However, if it cannot be achieved, and only a few humans can benefit and gain from it, that is certainly not the fundamental intention of Heaven. The primary purpose is to carry out the fundamental intention of Heaven as the structural basis for implementation. The most essential reason for this is to ensure that all original spirit Buddhas in the vast world can transcend and benefit from it.
Furthermore, for the civilization of the 21st century, it is granted the potential to truly progress toward the growth of the Wuji, the Void, and the cosmic world of the heavenly kingdom. Regarding the world of the heavenly kingdom, it can also be described as an interstellar realm of the Liuli starlight body. For the human world to ascend and transcend into this kingdom, it is necessary to share the same interdependent frequency of karma, so that one can truly empathize and resonate with it.
Various conditions and causes converge to bring about humanity.
Moreover, this elevation transcends the interstellar realms, manifesting within the human world. For those spiritual Buddhas who descended to the Earthly Star in past ages and achieved primordial realization during the first and second kalpas, this era allows them to descend once more to the Earthly Star while also enabling their return to the interstellar realm of "Glazed Starlight."
Moreover, the Pure Land, the Kingdom of Heaven, the Paradise, and all other realms spoken of in the human world of Earth are all inferior to the "Glazed Starlight Body" realm. This realm is also bestowed by the Supreme Heaven upon the Earth Star for the original spirit Buddhas who have already returned and transcended from the human world, allowing them to descend once more to the Earth Star to achieve even greater accomplishments.
Granting all the Ninety-Two Original Spirits transcendence and return is the true path. This is also why the Supreme Heaven has reopened the Third Epoch in the 21st century, offering them the opportunity for return and transcendence. For the pure and light, they ascend to become heaven, which is the essence of the azure qi (heaven). This is also the means by which all four hundred million Buddhist disciples in the human world are once again sent down to guide and ferry the Ninety-Two Original Spirits.
Regardless of location or nation on the planet Diming, all will in the future converge upon the True Buddha Heart School to undertake: return, fulfillment, transcendence, and the great assembly of riding across! Moreover, this condition of causation, also referred to as genetic quality, is precisely what your human world must presently explore and enhance for the genetic quality of humanity.
The foundation is elevated beyond what humanity favors.
At this very moment, it is merely a beginning, and we are not yet able to fully establish the karmic foundation for truly enhancing the genetic quality of all humanity. This, in turn, serves as the basis for your current integration into the WTO, which necessitates the elevation of the foundational genetic framework of you, humanity.
Even the fundamental structure of the heavens has been altered to enhance and transcend the genetic essence of the Earthly Nether Star. Thus, all these actions are undertaken for the sake of future human societies and the superior quality of descendants. Moreover, they elevate your current genetic quality. What else could be done if you do not follow this path?
Furthermore, within the human realm, which exists in a state of mutual interdependence, all insufficiencies and shortcomings are inherent. This is precisely why you have descended upon the Earth Star to undertake the fundamental task of reformation and rectification. It can be said that all who enter the Earth Star carry, to a greater or lesser degree, their own deficiencies and inadequacies.
It is precisely to allow you all to renew and reform yourselves; otherwise, how can the cycles of reincarnation that have persisted through lifetimes be broken, along with your shortcomings and deficiencies? This renewal and elevation also address all the educational and cultural curricula of religion over the past two thousand years. In truth, the Heavens have sent down the five sages to assist in this endeavor.
The five teachings converge in all forms of assistance.
Regarding the guidance of all original spirit Buddhas by Heaven to return and transcend, it is little known how, over the past two thousand years and more, the more teachings, education, and transmissions have been carried out, the deeper the decline has become. What is the reason for this? It is essential to understand that the human world is precisely a realm of mutual opposition.
Whether on Earth or in the stars, all are confined by the elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" and the five phases of "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth." Moreover, due to the interdependent causes and conditions among all human beings, numerous minor flaws and shortcomings arise. Time and again, these imperfections accumulate, tainting humanity with impurities that prove exceedingly difficult to change.
Within this framework, all elements—such as the sun and moon, yin and yang, heaven and earth, right and wrong, circles and crosses, correct and incorrect, good and evil, male and female—mutually support and depend on one another. The sentient original spirits and Buddha-nature beings are thus unable to transcend these fundamental dynamics and return to their source; likewise, in the human world, they are governed by the interplay of yin and yang, heaven and earth, which confines and obstructs them within these limitations.
Moreover, it is impossible to see through the limitations of: ○Ｘ, right and wrong, correct and incorrect, good and evil. Being bound by these constraints, it is truly impossible for you to break free from the confines of Earthly Nether Star. Yet, why have so many: Sacred Deities, Immortals and Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Exalted Truths managed to transcend the limitations of Earthly Nether Star, and for what reasons?
The Necessity of Enhancing the Foundation
Thus, through the previous two cosmic cycles, those who transcended, returned, and surpassed numbered in the hundreds of billions. Yet, those who remained within the human world also numbered in the hundreds of billions. Faced with the limitations of this human realm, how can one elevate their foundation? The key lies in whether, within the human world, one can avoid attachment to either extreme. This is exceedingly difficult!
How can any orientation toward existence in the human world avoid being touched by both extremes? This is impossible. Such revelations of heavenly mysteries arise from each individual’s personal realizations and their distinct inherent qualities, serving to elevate them. They address the shortcomings and deficiencies from your past lives, ensuring that this present life becomes an opportunity for re-cultivation and reinforcement. Do you understand?
Regarding the shortcomings and deficiencies from your past lives, this lifetime presents an opportunity for "embodied cultivation and rectification"—a test that allows you to truly overcome and re-address these past inadequacies. Those who can pass this test will surely achieve accomplishments and merits, thereby contributing to the growth and transcendence of humanity toward greater goodness.
You may further contemplate why so many sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world descend into the mundane realm. It is to undergo renewed refinement and strengthening through trials, specifically targeting your deficiencies and shortcomings. This constitutes a reorienting examination—whether one can pass it determines whether, in the next life, one must begin the journey anew.
Countless refinements for perfection.
It is inevitable that there will be one, two, three, four, or even countless opportunities for such celestial examinations. Those who can pass them are all those who bear the responsibility of answering the questions themselves during the test. The true path lies in how one can achieve perfection in responding to the questions set by Heaven. Moreover, the foundational qualities that enable you to elevate your spiritual roots can thus be revealed and highlighted once again.
Those who are able to pass will no longer be subjected to such trials in the next life or in future lives, and it is said: they have already achieved perfect and satisfactory results as a foundation. This serves as a response to whether all original spirit Buddha-disciples can pass all the trials and tests in this present life, thereby enabling virtuous growth and transcendence.
Those who can pass through are bound to have future merits or truly transcend the Earthly Nether Star, and thus may roam freely throughout the entirety of: the Wuji, the Void, the Great Cosmic Celestial Realms, and the interstellar domains. Only then will you genuinely achieve the elevation of genetic quality, benefiting yourselves and undergoing the trials! As for the outcome—ponder it well yourselves!
Superior quality refined and revised,  
Human karma aligns with the grand path.
Achieving transcendence beyond the mundane world, elevating the genetic foundation to such a stage.
All sentient beings, children of Buddha,  
Together face the trials bestowed by heaven.
The imperfections cultivated in past lives  
Have been transformed and perfected into fulfillment.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement! For the human world, it is precisely through upward elevation, the transformation of causal qualities, genetic refinement, and evolution that the true enhancement and transcendence of all deficiencies and shortcomings in your human world can be achieved. Whether the quality of genes is elevated depends on your present actions.
Moreover, it is the basis for distinguishing between achievement and non-achievement in the future! This will foster the growth and elevation of virtuous and favorable conditions, provided that all human beings can genuinely nurture and enhance them, rather than adopting an indifferent or optional attitude. Thank you all for your hard work and heartfelt companionship in this endeavor. May everything be auspicious. Farewell!
Bodhisattva Samantabhadra of the Wuji
The Great Path arises from the reverence of the heart's causes and conditions;  
The Limitless descends to narrate and bear witness.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva convened with all the sages,  
The Great Way expanded, transforming karma into manifestation.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, within our lineage, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Rosy Clouds has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter focuses on elevating the foundation of one's genetic roots to achieve completion, enabling you to understand whether you have reformed the unfavorable qualities of your own genetic makeup within the human world.
Perhaps it is due to the inability to overcome one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, which are the distinctions carried over from the next life's return. If one can truly change the inadequacies of one's own flawed genetic quality, it may be possible to avoid re-entering the human world in the future and instead begin anew to cultivate and transform. This is a very truthful determination based on all your present actions.
It is also the basis for future success or failure! Moreover, whether you truly understand or only grasp half the truth, if you cannot change your own shortcomings and deficiencies, such conditions of cause and circumstance will persist indefinitely—is this not what is traditionally called helplessness? Yet, even if you enter the Chongxin lineage, what can be done if you yourself do not strive?
It is essential to comprehend the divine mysteries and auspicious connections elucidated and analyzed by the immortals and Buddhas. This understanding allows you to truly benefit and gain in the present moment. Moreover, after the completion of the celestial scriptures, it is worth affirming whether you will revisit them, savoring their teachings once, twice, thrice, or more—each time yielding varied insights and rewards.
This is for you, who truly comprehend the profound grace of Heaven and the arduous efforts of guiding all beings as a teacher! Those who can accomplish this will surely attain self-realization and benefit all sentient beings within a single lifetime. If one fails to delve deeply into the content of the celestial scriptures, how can any of you achieve transcendence in this life? All will merely enter with reverence, yet struggle to reap lasting benefits! Do you understand? Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

The Conditions for Humanity to Create Blessings
Enhancing the foundation allows one to understand that the human world is precisely about elevating well-being within the vast universe. This is particularly achieved by "borrowing" over two million high-tech talents to invent and create all manner of items, thereby uplifting the human world. This, in essence, constitutes the creation of great blessings and virtuous grace, benefiting all sentient human beings.
It is precisely by propelling the 21st century forward that all four hundred million disciples of the Buddha and the nine hundred and twenty million original spirits can genuinely benefit from the blessings created, and that the human world can achieve widespread convenience and comfort. Furthermore, it is through the enhancement of foundational roots that the human world can integrate, thereby gaining a great opportunity for upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
In the realm of sentient beings, the progress of technological civilization often struggles to achieve greater leaps forward. Yet, through repeated cycles of invention and creation, continuous revisions are made, elevating quality step by step. This process of refining the very foundation, advancing steadily and truthfully, is what will bring true benefits in the 21st century—and this is indeed the right path.
In this process, all inventions and creations within the human world will yield greater benefits—both for oneself and for all sentient beings. This also leads to genuine elevation, as in the realm of sentient existence, every research, invention, and creation enables sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples to grow, advance, and reap rewards.
The causal connections that bring about blessings.
This is a process that will see even greater growth over the next century, achieved precisely through the development and elevation of the realms of Haotian, Wuji, and Xukong alongside the 21st century. Moreover, it stems from a framework jointly established by the celestial immortals and enlightened teachers over 140 years ago, designed to bring greater harvests and benefits to the human world.
It is precisely the blessings bestowed upon the human world, having traversed all realms of earth and stars, that are created for the sake of these blessings. They are given to all sentient beings, enabling every original spirit and Buddha-child to grow upward. Thus, for research and invention, it is necessary to undergo repeated cycles of revision and improvement, so that quality may be elevated and surpassed, striving ever for excellence.
The initial prototypes of all inventions can be refined and improved through successive revisions, ultimately achieving the quality of truly sophisticated artifacts. For humanity, this presents a providential opportunity to enter into the realm of technological civilization. Not only does it offer the sentient world a genuine means of elevation, but it also fosters creations of exceptional quality.
It further elevates the foundation of one's own spiritual essence, as well as the foundation of all things. Only in this way can the human world truly achieve convenience, universality, and comfort. It is precisely in this manner that the world of sentient beings, through humanity, creates, refines, and elevates all blessings, enabling them to grow and transcend.
Technological Civilization Alters Human Growth
Thus, it enables the possibility to truly transcend towards technological civilization. Consequently, all divine revelations manifested in the human world are intended to bring about the fulfillment of the Earthly Realm. This is for the benefit and gain of all races and myriad beings on Earth, not only allowing for the continuous refinement and improvement of quality through repeated cycles.
Furthermore, in the process of such inventions, the inventors can genuinely obtain the conditions for wealth and the fulfillment of blessings and karmic rewards. This also means that for all researchers and inventors, through the process of invention, all the loneliness and suffering endured can be repaid. Moreover, it provides a sound safeguard for all livelihood processes, which is considered the righteous path.
In the next hundred years for the planet Diming, it is essential for all human societies to possess a "worldview and cosmic perspective" with broad-mindedness and vision. Without the insight and breadth of such a "worldview and cosmic perspective," it will be impossible to achieve truly great accomplishments in the future. Under these conditions, why must this be so?
This is the divine will, descending to be embodied in the excellent qualities and superior RNA, to serve as the descendants for you all. Moreover, it enables you, in the future era, to possess the same level of energy for creation without the need for human union, ensuring growth, and bestowing upon you this superior energy body in its fullness.
21st Century: Transcending Great Achievements
All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the world often believe that the union of yin and yang is necessary to produce virtuous descendants. In truth, it is not essential to rely on the mutual exchange through the harmonization of yin and yang. By accumulating a rich energy body, one can naturally amass sufficient energy, thereby attaining the conditions for genuine benefit.
Therefore, some favorable traits that must be passed down to future generations through the union of yin and yang—namely, the principle that "to have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue"—are in fact a form of energy. Whether sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children can fully possess such conditions depends on whether they are endowed with this energy, as only then can they attain its benefits.
Another kind is accumulated through one's own present actions and the virtuous energy inherited from ancestors. Otherwise, how could such an energy body be fully attained? As the ancient saying goes, "To have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue"—this is absolutely true. Without good virtue, it is unlikely that worthy descendants will enter your family to carry on the lineage.
You must accumulate the virtuous energy of good character. Among all the true, sacrificing, and dedicated students and disciples within the Chongxin lineage, the Heavens will surely bestow the meritorious energy they deserve. As stated in the past: only by genuinely embodying this energy in the human world can one walk the true path.
Now, grow, elevate, and transcend.
Moreover, within these causal connections, which are manifested through the human world and all present acts of creation, consider carefully: after fifty years have passed, will you still exist on the Earthly Obscure Star? Impossible. So where will you be fifty years from now? This again is a celestial mystery and causal connection that you, in the present moment, find difficult to comprehend.
If there were those who truly sacrifice and dedicate themselves, and genuinely accumulate the energy of blessings and karmic connections, you would have long been liberated. Under such accumulation of energy, how could it possibly produce descendants with superior energy bodies? That seems quite unlikely! One must understand this: even though you have already been liberated, what can be done?
This energy entity will envelop the homes of future descendants, accumulating through the fulfillment of virtuous karma and favorable conditions. In terms of achieving such circumstances, whether an auspicious energy entity will exist among the descendants depends on understanding that all life orientations serve as dual blessings and guardianship for one's present self and for future generations.
This is not only a case of giving one and receiving ten thousand in return, but also means that for future generations, even after ancestors have passed away, their energy will continue to exist within their descendants, never to be erased. It is precisely this that serves as the basis for summoning blessings from Heaven to bestow virtuous descendants. Such conditions act as a foundation—how do you feel about this in your present moment?
The Great Karmic Connection of 21st Century Technology
Fifty years from now, most of those among you who are still alive will have long since passed away. As for your current actions, sacrifices, and contributions—these are precisely what you are accumulating now, forming a vast and abundant source of nourishment for your growth. How do these affect your present mindset, perspectives, thoughts, consciousness, and feelings?
And what is the initial stirring of thoughts and intentions! It is truly about observing within oneself: the combination of stirring thoughts and intentions, mental attitudes and perspectives, and conscious awareness; this will lead to genuine self-improvement. Once one has thus perfected their merits and fulfilled their fruits, what will become of them? Do you wish to know?
Behold! The immortals and Buddhas come to impart this revelation: all present actions shall form the foundation upon which your future merits and fruits are attained. This serves as the basis for evaluating your future ascension, judging all selfless, non-assertive deeds, sacrifices, contributions, and every action you undertake within the Great Dao.
If one can truly "understand the mind and see its nature, attain enlightenment and realize the fruit," then for you in the human world, there is already firsthand experience of "understanding the mind and seeing its nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit." This allows for an honest assessment of one's own efforts, enabling you to transcend and return to perfection in the future, which is the true path.
Bringing benefit to all beings across the vast universe and humanity.
In this process, the rich energy bodies you are currently accumulating are precisely based on all your present actions and deeds, which truly embody: return, transcendence, fulfillment, and ascension. Under such conditions, if you have already attained a rich and abundant energy body, then in the future you will surely be able to roam freely in: the boundless, the void, and the great cosmic celestial realms.
What do you think of this? It is no longer merely the immortals and buddhas spoken of in the human world; in truth! It is about truly benefiting from all that surpasses immortals, buddhas, sages, and deities, without the need to return to the Earthly Nether Star to serve as gods or buddhas—that would be too low a level. However, what the Chongxin lineage has constructed is precisely to grant you the benefit of attaining enlightenment in this very moment.
It also serves as the basis for your future genuine attainments, and is of true authenticity. This is precisely what the Heavens have initiated in this 21st century: "The true Buddha is within the heart," not in external appearances. If you seek the Buddha externally, you will never find the divine or the enlightened. This point is something you must understand clearly and remember faithfully in your hearts.
Returning to Transcendence Beyond Causality and Blessings
In the 21st century, all great virtues bestowed by Heaven are precisely directed toward your present participation in the evolution through the Great Dao. For you, this era is truly about elevating the 21st century. Although you are making sacrifices and offering devotion, you also "find joy in the midst of sacrifice and fulfillment in the act of devotion." This arises from a selfless and non-assertive karmic foundation.
It is precisely under the condition of true non-action that we grow together, providing mutual support for all humanistic worlds. This also enables everyone to truly step toward the profound opportunity of growth and transcendence, which is something one can fully possess in the present moment and create from the here and now. Only in this way can one genuinely face one’s own actions and gather and propagate them within the collective.
This can be truly beneficial for the four hundred million disciples of Buddha via the internet, enabling genuine learning and growth. Otherwise, for these "borrowed talents"—over two million high-tech experts descended from extraterrestrial star systems to the Earthly Obscure Star—how could you enable them to return to the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the myriad star systems of the Greater Universe? This must be accomplished through authentic realization to achieve true functional efficacy.
The Vanguard of the Great Dao leads the way,  
Guiding and transforming for the return home.
Gather the great strength of the collective  
Advance toward the assembly of the cosmic celestial realm
One step, one footprint, each imprint firm and true,  
Guided by the truth in all we pursue.
Life in this world is fleeting and soon fades away,  
Yet the virtue of Heaven endures through widespread transformation.
This verse! It is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children to encourage one another, and it is also truly revealed to all students of the Chongxin lineage in the present moment. It is about attaining by oneself, growing through oneself, and benefiting oneself; and in turn, benefiting all original spirits and Buddha's children—this is indeed the truth! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
The Primordial Queen Mother of the West
The cause and condition of the Wuji are truly profound,  
As the Queen Mother of the West ascends the stage to speak.
Greetings to all virtuous sons and daughters,  
May all blessings flourish and spread far and wide.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, within our lineage, the Immortal Maiden of Colorful Clouds from the Void has descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This will elucidate and disseminate the karmic blessings destined to benefit this era, offering genuine benefit and growth to all sentient beings, original spirit Buddhas, and the devoted sons and daughters of the Chongxin lineage.
In truth, everything lies in giving one's utmost, in taking initiative, and in achieving through oneself. For those who can truly establish a predestined connection with the Chongxin lineage, it is Chongxin itself that makes this possible! All external conditions rarely offer such a divine opportunity and favorable affinity, enabling you to truly benefit and, in turn, to shoulder the responsibility of propagating the great path for the Chongxin lineage.
It is also said: For all spiritual beings and original Buddha-disciples of the 21st century, this presents a truly beneficial and significant cause for growth. Thus, the Chongxin lineage has been precisely chosen by Heaven as the vanguard of the Great Dao. If one fails to act, it becomes difficult to account for oneself before Heaven. One must therefore learn and grow with utmost diligence and vigilance, striving to advance and transcend ever upward.
"Step by step, each footprint is solid, every step is steadfast" – such is the true path of practice. In particular, the collective efforts of the Chongxin lineage have indeed been marked by steadfastness at every turn, fulfilling the weighty responsibilities entrusted by Heaven. This is truly worthy of admiration and applause. Through the gradual accumulation of every drop and every bit, virtuous causes and conditions are fostered, enabling transcendence and return.

第卅五回  　先天落凡

第十五回 　方便普及
A Great Role in Creating a Century of Prosperity
This is precisely aimed at the vast universe, enabling all original spirit Buddha-disciples to achieve elevation, and lies in: comfort, convenience, and universality. This has consistently been the way of the Heavenly Realm toward the space of the Earthly Star, allowing all original spirit Buddha-disciples who can attain accomplishment to experience the transformative effects of the 36 Heavenly Guardians and 72 Earthly Demons.
Enhancing through the application of contemporary technological civilization is a condition that can be achieved through the collective efforts of the cosmos, the void, the boundless, and the celestial realms of Haotian. This accomplishment, realized in the 21st century, will bring tangible benefits to all humanity and all living beings across the vast universe.
All can be mutually popularized, serving as a basis for the divine grace and expansive transformation from Heaven. Through this providential opportunity and favorable affinity, the Earthly Obscure Star is precisely bestowed with numerous great causes for pioneering. Moreover, it is essential to establish a framework for comfort, convenience, and universality, which aligns with the fundamental grace and original intent of Heaven, to be implemented in the human world.
It is by taking technological civilization as the primary cause for creation, serving as the basis for all aspects of human life—clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment—that culture is created and evolved. This can be achieved through the expedient functions of divine sight, divine hearing, and miraculous mobility, which are auspicious opportunities endowed by celestial mechanisms. This, in turn, is a creation accomplished through the power and realm of divine vision and supernatural abilities.
Technology Civilization Video Communication
Regarding the transmission through technological computers, telecommunication video, and television, all high-tech civilization from thousands of miles away can be visualized through these products, allowing direct perception within one's own visual senses. This is precisely based on the concept of the "heavenly ear," and because of the heavenly ear, all distant images, visual effects, and audio projections are brought to fruition.
This also brings the influence of music to the human world, spreading it throughout the vast globe, allowing people to enjoy moving melodies. It greatly benefits the soothing of the human heart and provides even greater space for enrichment. Moreover, it relies on divine means of travel, particularly vehicles for transportation—whether by sea, land, or air—significantly shortening the distances of time and space as well as the length of journeys.
In ancient times, a destination that required a month to reach can now be arrived at in just one to two hours. Moreover, the divine powers of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and miraculous travel have long been bestowed upon the human world. Among these, many involve transformative processes such as moving mountains and turning seas, or scattering seeds to form forests, all for the benefit and enjoyment of humanity.
Within the illusory functions of the 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends, the technological civilization provided to the Earthly Obscure Star is truly vast and abundant. This is precisely the method by which Heaven reclaims the ancient illusory functions, re-granting the human world a greater universality. It serves to adjust the world's ways and human hearts, which have strayed from ancient virtues, through "renewal, from the heart, and reverence for the heart."
Key Conditions for Widespread Convenience
Having traversed the first and second cosmic cycles, and now in the third, it has been 4.66 billion years of imparting education to the human world. Calculated by the conditions of time and space, the human world has existed on this Earth Star for nearly 4.6 billion years, according to the reckoning of human beings.
If we calculate from the beginning of the first cosmic cycle to the present, tallying the repeated cycles of reincarnation in the human world, it spans at least millions of centuries. The originally pure and luminous primordial foundation has been buried under layers of filth accumulated over countless lifetimes. How, then, could you ever achieve a day of purity and purification? It is simply impossible!
This, again, in terms of all the conveniences afforded to you in the human world, means: it is precisely because it is too convenient that, from ancient times to the present, you have long lost yourselves. That tiny bit of your original, innate nature will inevitably remain trapped in the cycle of rebirth within the human realm, and so it is. This is nothing strange at all.
It further involves the accumulation of filth and impurities upon one's original, innate nature, continuously adding layers of contamination to the foundation of one's being. How, then, can these be dissolved? This must be achieved through the third kalpa, during the purification process of the 21st century, granting you the true celestial opportunity and favorable conditions to ascend, elevate, and transcend.
After widespread dissemination, it brings benefit to all beings.
Moreover, in carrying out the true and pure universal transformation for all of you, the Heaven has initiated the "borrowing of talents" function, utilizing high-tech individuals and the four hundred million Buddha-disciples of the Blue and Red Yangs to guide and ferry beings across. Furthermore, it truly enables a single journey to return to the celestial realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmos. If you can grow and transcend within this current situation,
Then there will be those who truly devote themselves to cultivating their hearts throughout this lifetime and this world, and they are certain to benefit from the great virtue and teachings bestowed by Heaven. This serves as a convenient and universal means of salvation for your human world! Moreover, it applies to the growth experienced during the first cosmic cycle, the second cosmic cycle, and the present third cosmic cycle.
All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas who have ever existed on the Earth Star can ascend and transcend. This includes all enlightened beings who have achieved elevation and transcendence in the previous one or two kalpas, as well as those who have attained high-tech civilizational accomplishments. In the current era, they are "borrowed" for this kalpa to bring greater benefits to the Earth Star.
Then there will be the foundation for creation, invention, and growth, which is also essential for the true achievement of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples across the Blue Sun, Red Sun, and the current White Sun eras. This is because universality is precisely what accomplishes perfection through widespread transformation and universal salvation; moreover, universal salvation elevates and fosters the growth of all religions.
Universal salvation and the completion of the cosmic cycle bring benefits to humanity.
From this unique and profound perspective, it is evident that all practitioners of religions such as Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, regardless of their country, environment, or circumstances, can mutually support and fulfill one another. Moreover, this universal approach to salvation is what truly enables everyone to achieve transcendence and ascend to higher realms.
In the human realm, it is precisely in response to this consistent function that the "Great Tao Series of Heavenly Books" is promoted. Without distinction, it embraces Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and all emerging contemporary religions, unifying and fulfilling them through the karmic connections documented in the "Great Tao Series of Heavenly Books."
It is precisely the process of activating the Earthly Obscure Star, where all human factors are cultivated to elevate the human world, that has never descended into the mortal realm as a celestial opportunity or karmic connection. Yet, it can still grow through a sacred mission, which is the true path. This also enables all religious practitioners to understand the inadequacies within their respective faiths.
It can be compensated. For those who are to transcend the Earthly Nether Star, there will be genuine heavenly opportunities and good affinities. Moreover, such conditions of karma, when aligned with the fundamental framework of universal education and universal salvation for fulfillment, can be genuinely elevated. This is the fundamental original intent of the Heavenly Realm, which is to elevate the Chongxin Sect lineage through the curriculum of ten years of education and cultivation.
The Main Functional Body of Popularization
Moreover, it is absolutely true that you are able to obtain first-hand information, which is truly beneficial for you. Understand that you have, through expedient means, received the abundant resources bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, thereby enriching the energy within your physical bodies. This is a rare descent into the human world, seldom seen throughout the ages.
To all the countless original spirits and Buddha’s children, the aim is to achieve genuine elevation, rather than having you grope blindly like the blind men touching an elephant. It is to grant you a reduction in much futile, exploratory time, thereby accomplishing elevation through fulfillment. Moreover, for you, although this must be attained through the "causality of currency," it will also bring forth virtuous and favorable conditions for growth.
It allows you, after a day of diligent work, to connect with the energy of high-level immortals and Buddhas in the evening, sharing this profound celestial opportunity. This not only helps alleviate many unnecessary troubles but also reduces much avoidable toil and rushing about. In this way, auspicious and virtuous causes and conditions will flourish, fostering growth and enabling transcendence.
This is also a means of fulfillment bestowed upon you, the four billion disciples of the Buddha, as well as upon the high-tech talents who have been drawn here. For this reason, your entry into the Chongxin lineage is intended to alleviate much of your toil, hardship, and the obscurations of ignorance. Thus, in the 21st century, you may achieve self-realization and bring fulfillment to all sentient beings.
The compassionate grace of Heaven descends to transform the mortal realm.
This is the great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven, as well as the compassionate and benevolent will of the Void, the Limitless, and the Vast Heaven. It is precisely through such divine opportunities and favorable conditions that one may receive benefits. Moreover, after you enter the lineage of Chongxin, it is essential to understand that the human world is merely a realm granted to you by the heavens and earth for temporary use, observation, possession, and enjoyment.
When will you graduate (pass away), and will you be able to understand? Do not graduate shortly after entering the Chongxin lineage, or flee long before, thus graduating without having learned many of the essential methods. The journey ahead is still long—where will you seek the abundant energy and resources bestowed by Heaven?
In the celestial affinity of the world's foremost institution of learning today, the genuine benefit for all of you lies in its true nature. Moreover, from the vast celestial realms—the Void Heaven, the Limitless Heaven, the Vast Heaven, the Southern Heaven, the Western Heaven, and countless others—how do these exalted beings, sacred deities, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas descend to disseminate their teachings!
In designing your educational and cultural curriculum, it is essential to ensure genuine improvement, as this will bring greater benefits to your present circumstances. Understand that when true gains are achieved, you must also eliminate your own peculiar habits and temperaments in the here and now. Only then can you attain real self-improvement and ultimately return to transcendence.
After widespread adoption, the functional benefits
These are to be pursued and attained by oneself. Moreover, the heavenly deities and Buddhas in the heavens also hope that all students of the Chongxin lineage can truly awaken in the present moment and achieve the rank of Buddhahood in this very lifetime. In fact, it is simply about truly allowing oneself to return to the original, primordial state of being. I wonder if you all desire this? (Answer: Yes!)
If one merely returns to the original, primordial state, then your perspective is too narrow. It would be better to broaden this perspective and widen your vision, so that after returning, you no longer cling to the Mother Goddess’s leg like a child seeking indulgence. This does not truly benefit you. What is needed is to genuinely transcend, perfect, and elevate beyond it.
To achieve greater accomplishments and divine opportunities, it is essential for you to understand that the ultimate goal is to truly attain enlightenment, return to the Wuji Celestial Realm, and transcend further. You must realize that the Wuji Celestial Realm enables you to achieve fulfillment within the entirety of the great cosmos and the ethereal heavens, surpassing all limitations. To do so, it is necessary to first perfect all your accumulated virtues, merits, and fruits of practice—only then can you attain true and complete realization!
After growing, strive to ascend even higher.
Furthermore, by traversing other star systems and galaxies to achieve this, it is the greatest fundamental intention of the boundless compassion and grace of the Primordial Mother in this era of "borrowing talents." Otherwise, upon your return, while clinging to the Mother's leg in a coquettish manner, you would remain unaware of the vast and boundless expanse of the celestial realm in the great cosmos.
Regarding your future, can there be greater convenience and accessibility for yourselves? Such conditions of cause and effect must be addressed with utmost sincerity in your present moment. The educational and cultural curriculum must be genuinely planned and trained, first establishing a foundation in all the regulations and propagation of the Chongxin lineage. Only then, in the future, will you be able to soar freely through the vast cosmos of the heavens.
In the human world, it is essential to possess a greater force of unity. Within the vast and boundless universe, this unity is directed toward those who can truly attain the "Buddha-fruit stage." This is the fundamental framework and cohesive strength that you, within the Chongxin lineage, should embody—to gather and propagate the teachings! In doing so, you will benefit both yourselves and all sentient beings.
Bestowing blessings upon the era with great virtue and grace,  
Transcending worldly achievements to attain fulfillment.
By the grace of heaven, blessings descend;  
In growth and learning, divine virtue extends.
Comfort, convenience, and universal efficacy—  
The Five Teachings converge in this widespread salvation.
The One Continuum leads the way as the vanguard,  
The Great Path and the True Buddha reside within the heart.
This verse! To bring you all to fulfillment is to address the shortcomings of all religions, serving as a great cause for mutual support. It can provide, within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," mutual fulfillment for all cultivators who genuinely practice and walk the path. It also grants, step by step through universal salvation and completion, return and transcendence, and perfect ascension, a true and steady path to rise and surpass. Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Wuji Yaochi Golden Mother
The Dadao series works unfold and evolve,  
Truer and more tangible than heaven and earth.
The era of guiding and ferrying primordial souls unfolds,  
As the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond convenes the covenant of spirits.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation members of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Colorful Crane from our lineage has descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" for your widespread benefit. Through another perspective, she seeks to bring fulfillment, aiming to reveal what kind of heavenly opportunities and auspicious affinities may elevate you in the future.
It is precisely what one gains and benefits from personally that constitutes true reality; for all of you who have joined the Chongxin lineage, it is essential to genuinely engage in learning and growth. This is an opportunity for true realization and benefit, rarely attainable across countless lifetimes! May all be provided with virtuous and extraordinary good affinities to enhance, elevate, and transcend.

第十六回　  造就寰宇
The Basic Framework of the Great Dao
It is precisely the virtue bestowed upon all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples that forms the primary foundation for growth. This is rooted in the transformation of heaven and earth through virtue, and through the great cosmos, it serves as the framework for implementing the divine grace of Heaven. Within this process, it is essential to rely on numerous blessings within the mortal world, as only then can the great cosmos be truly embraced and benefited from.
It is precisely because of the interdependence inherent in human survival that the great virtues of heaven and earth can be made universal, convenient, and comfortable. Particularly within the cosmos, all advancements driven by technological civilization aim at upward progress, which must be rooted in a primary causal condition of comfort, convenience, and universality—this is the true path.
It is through comfort, convenience, and universal accessibility that the evolutionary processes of heaven and earth are shaped. This allows for an understanding of what evolution creates and provides to all sentient original spirit Buddhas and disciples across the vast universe, enabling them to achieve ascension and transcendence. Furthermore, by building upon the necessities of human existence, this becomes the true great cause and condition for the human world to genuinely elevate and transcend.
Particularly for the 21st century, it is essential to enhance technological civilization with fundamental knowledge. Moreover, elevating the entire universe and all realms is precisely what enables all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world to achieve ascension and transcendence. This is created through technological civilization, which can break through the necessities of human survival.
Spreading transformation across all living beings in the universe.
It is precisely because there exists the essential causal conditions for life that humanity can transform and innovate within the human world, refine the sophistication of products through research, and thereby address all deficiencies and shortcomings through repeated revisions and improvements. With the advancement of high technology and the refinement it brings, human beings are able to fulfill the essential requirements for survival in the human realm.
Thus, there is the true manifestation of the action of "taking and giving," and since it is necessary for human society to have the act of satiation, the effectiveness of satiation's function must rely on the supply of the food chain to achieve the inevitability of supply-demand adjustment. However, this very adjustment of supply and demand is what enables all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children in the vast universe to meet their fundamental requirements.
There must be a food chain of abundance to bring fulfillment. The human world is structured through the food chain, which in turn gives rise to the chain of affairs, allowing them to complement and complete each other. Within this, the survival orientation of the human world must be present to enable the actions of pursuit and attainment.
It refers to the conditions upon which the human world relies, and it is also the fundamental framework that shapes all existential orientations in human society through human factors. Among these, many experiences are forged by human factors, enabling the refinement of all objects—after their invention and creation—through further human intervention.
Establishing Fundamental Functional Efficacy
This enables the refinement of objects, making them more exquisite. Moreover, through such conditions and circumstances, the human world is prevented from resorting to crude and inferior products. This facilitates the perfection of inventions and creations, as the very foundation of creation and invention lies in rectifying all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors.
However, the human world is much the same: just as one must refine one's own peculiar habits and temperaments, so too must all races of sentient beings and all living creatures undergo repeated refinement and cultivation. Only through this process can the world achieve more exquisite outcomes, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
Moreover, it is essential for the heavens, the earth, humanity, and all beings to undergo such modifications for elevation, and this is particularly true for the human world at present. It can also be expressed as encompassing "the ancient past, the present and future, above and below, left and right, and all directions," signifying the necessity for all original spiritual beings and Buddha’s disciples in the human world to achieve the refinement and transformation of all that exists.
In the human world, whether in ancient times, the present, or the future, all are interconnected through a fundamental framework, without distinction of any time or space. Moreover, such temporal and spatial conditions are meant to fulfill the destiny of the Earthly Star, and it is precisely within the human world that there exists an upward-driving force, which inherently demands creation.
The promotion of this cause across the globe will benefit all of humanity.
In the vast expanse of the universe, the pursuit of greater achievements and the elevation of learning make it clear that the current 21st century is driven by creation and invention. Regarding all the inventions and research on Earth, Providence has "borrowed" over two million high-tech talents, descending them to this planet.
This is the first batch of "borrowed talents" being deployed. In the future, there will be over 72 million more advanced talents from other star systems who will be "borrowed" and sent down to the Earth-Ming star system. These are further divided into seven additional batches to come. As for the current first batch, they have already all descended to the Earth-Ming star.
This is regarding the planet Dimingxing, where all scientific and technological civilizations over the past century have genuinely benefited humanity and all living beings. Particularly in the last two to three decades, these advancements have played a "borrowed talent" role in guiding the planet Dimingxing. These influences have long descended into the mortal world, serving as a guide for the next cycle of all developments, representing yet another form of scientific and technological civilization.
It is precisely for the human world that there will be a genuine advancement toward becoming a developed planet. The entire process is to be achieved truthfully and authentically, bringing about a true elevation for the Earth-Star, unlike the technological civilizations of the past, which were difficult to establish. This is to ensure that all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of the 21st century can truly benefit.
Vast is the cosmos in which humanity dwells.
It is precisely without distinction: the past, the present, and the future are all as they truly are, and within the world of the Earthly Nether Star, they complement and support one another. For all inhabitants of the Earthly Nether Star, it is about providing the means to rectify and reform humanity's undesirable shortcomings and corrupt habits. Moreover, it involves how the habits of human beings can be gradually refined and elevated through repeated cycles of cultivation and improvement.
You are precisely participants in the benevolent grace of the evolution and creation of the Earth and the Dark Star. Throughout the millennium from the 21st to the 30th century, as demonstrated to the other four hundred million celestial bodies, it is within this third cosmic cycle that the activation of numerous extraterrestrial systems will be facilitated through mutual borrowing and collaboration. This will foster mutual growth and elevation, ultimately bringing tangible benefits to humanity.
It is also through the civilization of the Earthly Underworld Star that a great cause for genuine growth and elevation will be established. This is aimed at truly advancing the Earthly Underworld Star toward becoming a developed celestial body. Moreover, with all the actions and endeavors of the human world, it will create the fundamental requirements and framework for the welfare of all future human races, thereby genuinely benefiting the multitude of human beings.
Experiencing the present, one might say of future technological civilization: whether it advances a thousand or ten thousand miles in a single day, it will be distinguished by "virtual reality" and "transforming other places" or "transplanting places elsewhere." This distinction between "physical projection or spiritual transference" creates a realm that is both illusory and real.
Alter genes to ascend and grow.
However, from the perspective of the human world, DNA must truly be able to unlock the fundamental causes for upward evolution. Meanwhile, the RNA highlighted by your current technology, in all its future manifestations within basic requirements, is precisely aimed at human factors that can genuinely bring benefits to the universe.
Because of its existence, the elevation of DNA in the creation of RNA can enable the human body to truly emit light, which serves as the fundamental causal entity for RNA’s progression toward elevation into QNA—precisely what is referred to as the energy body. Whether the sentient world can fully possess this remarkably superior QNA energy body depends entirely on humanity taking the lead.
Only by attaining such a state can the entire universe and all races advance toward a higher level of elevation. This is the fundamental mindset you should hold at present. Without this basic way of thinking, any attempt to move toward greater energy bodies in the future or to transcend the limitations of Earth and the stars would be like a frog at the bottom of a well gazing at the sky—utterly impossible.
Having the fundamental understanding of the present as it truly is constitutes authenticity; otherwise, what is the point of merely passing through this world in vain? If one simply drifts through each day and each lifetime without ever truly grasping correct thoughts and perspectives, how can one hope to benefit in the future? How can one return to the true path? Indeed, it would be impossible!
Creating all realms to elevate and uplift.
Regarding human factors, distinctions can be made between ascending transcendence and descending reincarnation. Furthermore, from the present moment towards the future, the fundamental framework has already been fully established, and it even manifests truly and practically within the human world, achieving mutual fulfillment. You may ponder carefully: how is everything that manifests at this moment?
Whether there can be a genuine elevation of the human world, rather than remaining as difficult to achieve as in the past, also depends on whether the world of sentient beings, in terms of the living conditions that shape the direction of existence, can bestow upon the 21st century the blessings of advancing toward greater achievement and learning growth, thereby descending these blessings into the human realm.
Furthermore, regarding the human world, whether it can transcend and elevate through this great cause depends on observing how you "borrow strengths" and how future human morality aligns. This will distinguish which high-tech talents can be cultivated to advance civilization, ensuring that all races across the vast universe benefit without harm or limitation. This is the righteous path.
Human factors can lead to either success or failure.
Within this, there must be many human factors that contribute to both creation and destruction. Moreover, the human world exists within the contrasting dynamics of yin and yang, sun and moon, heaven and earth, male and female, good and evil, right and wrong, 0 and X, and correctness and error. This holds true regardless of time, space, environment, nation, race, organization, unit, or family.
It is precisely because of all the contrasting distinctions that we are driven by the blessings we create and shaped by the misfortunes we encounter. Yet, can the human world truly transcend the limitations of the Earthly Dark Star within a single lifetime? This is the great cause behind all the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
Truly provided, sentient beings with affection can thereby obtain the genuine opportunity to transcend and elevate beyond the space of the Earthly Dark Star, which is referred to as growth and return. Only then can there be a truly complete and perfect great opportunity, offering real benefit and attainment for you in the present moment! Such rare and exceptionally auspicious conditions of cause and effect are indeed exceedingly scarce and precious!
Sun and moon, yin and yang, divide heaven and earth;  
Man and woman, right and wrong, form two separate ways.
Right and wrong, good and evil—these are distinctions made by Buddhas, demons, ghosts, and gods.
Living within the confines of the human world,  
All possess a true self.
Why speak of the illusory body as a distinction?  
In the present moment, the future is certain to be realized.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement. To truly comprehend the profound essence of the fundamental structure of Heaven, as well as the mutual interactions among you on the Earthly Star, is the mark of great wisdom. If one finds it difficult to grasp this profound essence, they merely undergo repeated cycles of rebirth in the human world, life after life, time and again.
It is therefore difficult to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. Within this, there are many celestial mysteries that have been imparted into the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," allowing you to access firsthand materials for future attainment of return and transcendence, which is also of true authenticity. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
The Infinite Mother of Mount Li
The Limitless descends to the mortal world,  
The Old Mother of Mount Li ascends the platform to speak.
All esteemed friends gathered here, may we wish each other good fortune and mutual encouragement.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, within our lineage, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Blossoms from the Void has descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This work establishes the virtuous grace and fundamental structure of the universe, transmitted through the Void, Wuji, Haotian, and the Southern Heaven, descending into the mortal realm within the Yichong Chongxin Lineage of Bade, Taiwan.
Regarding the karmic origins of all works in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," they are precisely intended to offer benefits and gains for all. It is essential to genuinely comprehend them, as only then can one truly obtain the conditions that benefit oneself. All deities, Buddhas, and students of the Chongxin Sect must unite in this shared purpose, promoting the great sacred tasks and missions of the sixth phase of propagation.
Thus, there will be genuine goodness that ascends, grows, elevates, and transcends—this must not be compromised in any way. Otherwise, the next divine mission will not descend to the mortal world and the Chongxin lineage to propagate and gather. This is also an opportunity for the four hundred million Buddhist disciples to join together and fulfill this divine destiny through mutual effort. Everyone has worked hard; may all be auspicious. Farewell!

Rainbow Fairy of the Void
Chapter Thirty-Five: The Primordial Descends to the Mortal Realm
第十六回　  造就寰宇
From the void of the infinite, the revered heart arrives;  
Across the rainbow sky, a wondrous design is laid.
The seventeenth chapter of the Immortal Maiden's work:  
The virtue of the heavens opens the great path.
Chapter 36: Compilation and Conclusion
第十七回　 上蒼德懿
The great compassion of the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers.
In the vast creation of the universe, observing the sentient world can serve as a catalyst for elevation. This is the fundamental cause for the multitude of original spirits and Buddha-children to ascend and transcend. Among these, many are manifestations of the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven, descending from the realms of Haotian, Wuji, and the Void into the mortal world, thereby enabling greater opportunities for growth and enlightenment.
It is precisely by allowing the sentient beings of the Diming Star to serve as the foundational driving force, anchored in the virtuous principles bestowed by Heaven, that technological civilization can achieve growth and transcendence. This opportunity, having traversed the Third Epoch, emerges as a divine juncture, and through the entire construction process of this era, we witness the growth and elevation of the Diming Star.
It is precisely through the technological civilization of all sentient worlds that technology can be elevated and transcended! This involves revealing the fundamental framework of the divine, specifically for the human world, through such celestial mechanisms. It further depends on whether humanity’s survival orientation can be applied to their own way of life, thereby achieving fulfillment within it.
Human civilization can achieve a true transcendence over all dependencies of existence, while the grace of Heaven bestowed upon the Earthly Realm is precisely manifested through its exemplary role of fulfillment, embodying a profound authenticity. Moreover, this elevation transcends not only the Earthly Realm itself but extends beyond it.
Descending to the human realm to benefit all sentient beings.
Only then can there be genuine actions to benefit the world below, truly bestowing blessings upon future generations for them to rely upon. This establishes all educational and cultural curricula for descendants, elevating them through the cultivation of civilization. Moreover, the human world is still in a phase of ongoing development, and even more so, it provides the conditions for mutual fulfillment with what has already been developed.
In the human world, there is an aspiration to elevate and transcend civilization. Whether greater benefits and gains can be achieved in the future world depends on observing the functional efficacy of "borrowing strengths" — whether it can uplift the myriad beings of the Earthly Star, or merely showcase advancements in technological civilization.
It is essential to understand that the advancement of human civilization and technology is fundamentally determined by the well-being of human existence, which is manifested through comfort, convenience, and accessibility. At the same time, it must remain anchored to ethical and moral principles, as these are indispensable for human survival. There must be a functional role for ethics and morality in this process. If we blindly pursue the elevation of civilization and technology while neglecting the ethical and moral foundations upon which they depend, what then shall become of us?
What can the human world present to the Heavenly Realm as an account? Amidst the turbulent circumstances of the 21st century, the human world has frequently transgressed the ethical and moral principles that civilizations ought to uphold. This period is one in which the Heavenly Realm exercises the fundamental conditions for the adherence to "morality" across the vast celestial realm.
Then there will be the great virtue of Heaven.
It is precisely through the virtues of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Middle Kingdom—the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues—that fulfillment is achieved within the realm of Earthly Obscurity. You may observe carefully that in the nations of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Middle Kingdom, as well as among all descendants of Yan and Huang across the world, there will be even greater growth and benefit in the 21st century.
Hence it is said: "The 21st century is the century of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Middle Kingdom." The descendants of Yan and Huang in the Middle Kingdom rely on virtue to fulfill their purpose on the planet Earth, serving as the foundation for human ethics and morality. Among these, human factors can alter the predetermined destiny and policies of Heaven, thereby bringing great blessings and benefits to all humanity.
This overarching direction must remain unchanged, yet the finer details in its implementation can be perfected through human effort, applied under the nurturing influence of virtue. Moreover, the heavens work in mutual fulfillment with the vast world, connected through a continuum of the Void, the Limitless, the Vast Heaven, the Southern Heaven, and the Heart of Reverence, all converging to propagate the Great Way into the 21st century.
This reflects a continuous lineage, interconnected and integrated within the grand dissemination of the Dao, through which all foundational structures and responsibilities are carried out. It can be said that for the human world, it enables mutual fulfillment and further addresses the practical aspects of daily life—clothing, food, shelter, transportation, upbringing, recreation, and education—thus fostering human progress and transcendence through conscious effort.
The Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Great Celestial Worthy, bestows his virtuous grace upon the world below.
Does it depend on human factors to bring about fulfillment? Moreover, in the fundamental intent of Heaven, through the void, it descends into the Wuji, and then directly from the Wuji to Haotian, to jointly deliberate on this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity for growth. The Southern Heaven, in particular, receives the Jade Decree of the Jade Emperor of Haotian, working together to achieve mutual fulfillment and extend it to the Earthly Star of Ming.
Thus, the Southern Heaven precisely screens and selects among all sects through trials, examining whether, over the nearly ten years of time, any might waver in their commitment and retreat. In this way, all the arduous teachings and efforts of the past decade are brought to fulfillment. However, the Chongxin Sect, having been chosen, operates under the direct jurisdiction of the Southern Heaven's administration, which has entrusted it with the mission to carry forward its work.
The Supreme Emperor Wenhang, ruler of the Southern Heaven, also serves as the Grand Chair of the Chongxin Sect under the Sacred Decree. With this connection, he does not shield shortcomings. Through a decade of educational and cultural courses, along with numerous trials and selections, today’s achievements and efficacy have been realized. This is especially true for the deities, buddhas, and students of the Chongxin Sect, who have endured ten years of diligent education and cultivation.
To truly receive the affirmation and praise from the Heavenly Realm is not only an acknowledgment of the Chongxin lineage, but also of all the deities, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin. Being able to enter the foremost educational institution of culture in the world today is an extraordinary blessing. This is the grace of the Wuji Huangmu, realized through the establishment of the Chongxin Hall, the culmination of ten years of arduous effort and hope.
The virtue of the Mother Goddess shines upon all original souls under heaven.
It is always through the complete fulfillment of all sacred duties of the Chongxin Sect that the Wuji Huangmu can truly be at ease, allowing the Chongxin Sect to carry out its mission of propagation. This is precisely the steadfast foundation of its authenticity. In the realm of heaven and earth within the human world, it can be said that the Chongxin Sect’s attainment of such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity today is by no means something that fell from the sky without cause.
Through arduous efforts and rigorous evaluation, one earns the recognition and praise of Heaven, which in turn lays a solid foundation and propels the future propagation of the Dharma! From the perspective of the system of the Limitless Heavenly Mother: it encompasses without distinction the systems of the Mother Goddess, the Compassionate Grace, the Spiritual Mountain, the Yiguan, the Imperial Decree, and more...
Furthermore, within the myriad systems of the mortal world that have descended from the Wuji, it can be said that the Chongxin Sect carries considerable weight. Having undergone a decade of educational and cultural cultivation, and with the Wuji Huangmu and Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu neither shielding shortcomings nor indulging faults, it becomes evident that human factors are discernible within all virtues and excellences between heaven and earth.
This is precisely the foundation for educating future generations and ensuring their blessings. It is essential to pass numerous trials in the present moment, determining whether one is truly capable of fulfilling the sacred duties and missions entrusted by the Heavens. This, in turn, serves as a test for the entire Chongxin lineage, allowing us to clearly understand that the teachings imparted by the deities and buddhas of the Chongxin lineage over the past decade can indeed be said to have been bestowed by the Heavens.
The Virtuous Grace of the Supreme Mother of the Limitless
It is through the "right equality, right enlightenment, right mind, and right mindfulness" as the true great lineage that, throughout all processes of the Chongxin lineage, you are granted growth and renewal through your knowledge and experience. This allows you to confidently carry out the true nature of future propagation and promotion! Moreover, it is through the Chongxin lineage that all responsibilities and missions bestowed by Heaven are undertaken, benefiting all sentient beings.
Furthermore, it truly benefits the original spirits and Buddha-children of future sentient beings, bringing them endless blessings! This is established through the Mother Deity system's edict system, which genuinely revises and transforms the shortcomings and deficiencies of all past systems—such as the Mother Deity system, the Compassionate Grace system, the Ling Mountain system, the Yiguan system, and many others.
You should further observe carefully that, regarding the responsibilities and missions entrusted by Heaven, the Chongxin Sect can truly achieve merit and benefit. In particular, the manifestation through the Confucian Sacred Hall demonstrates that the Holy Mother neither shields the shortcomings nor tolerates faults within any sect or lineage. It is precisely this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity that enables the Chongxin Sect to learn and grow.
After you entered the Chongxin lineage, have you felt that your experience and knowledge have grown substantially? This is aimed at the functional benefit of applying them to future tasks when they arise. This is precisely the "elevation of wisdom," as well as the "enhancement of your own energy body," which benefits both yourself and all sentient beings.
Provide truthfully for the benefit of all human beings.
This is truly being honest with everyone, allowing for genuine application in the present human world. It is also for those who truly embody "selfless dedication and effortless giving" to benefit and gain in the here and now. Furthermore, you should carefully observe how, since joining Chongxin, you have been transforming every moment, every hour, every day, every month, and every year.
To rectify one's habits, tendencies, character, and innate nature—this is the genuine way for you to completely resolve all accumulated karmic cycles in this lifetime. It enables you to truly achieve clarity of mind, insight into your true nature, and enlightenment with fruition in this very life. This is absolutely true and represents the great virtuous grace of Heaven and the Divine Mother.
Furthermore, after you have entered the Chongxin lineage, if you can follow the instructions of the immortals and Buddhas to cultivate and transform yourselves, then in all future times and spaces, you will be able to truly attain the return and transcendence you have longed for across countless lifetimes. This will enable you to directly return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm and achieve the ultimate perfection of the Great Vehicle. What do you all think of this?
Regarding your entry into the Chongxin lineage, you have gained these benefits and harvests—how do you feel about it? For you in the present, this is the genuine and tangible benefit of practice. By entering, you are precisely repaying the karmic causes and effects accumulated over countless lifetimes. You should willingly accept and repay them, thus completely dissolving all karmic obstacles in accordance with truth.
The virtue of Heaven above nurtures and fosters growth, enabling transcendence below.
Although throughout this process, there may be many moments that make it difficult to calm the mind and achieve peaceful resolution, if one adopts a reverse perspective to observe, this repayment of karmic causes and effects accumulated over lifetimes is precisely what allows you to truly settle and eliminate karmic obstacles. Moreover, with the support of the Chongxin lineage and the guidance and protection of the immortal and buddha teachers from the sidelines.
What do you all think of this? It is truly a matter of great difficulty to, over countless lifetimes, avoid the arduous task of repayment through personal toil. Instead, to be able to join with the immortals and buddhas in spreading their teachings and guiding all beings toward mutual fulfillment, thereby elevating humanity—this is no easy feat. To be able to enter the lineage of the Chongxin Sect and receive the guidance and transformation from the immortal and buddha teachers is an exceedingly rare opportunity.
Furthermore, for the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" to be faithfully authored and to have meritorious contributions, coupled with the ability to bring tangible benefits, and to genuinely reveal the mysteries of heaven and earth—considering your current knowledge and reasoning, which lineage can achieve such extraordinary attainments? It is difficult! Indeed, it is exceedingly rare!
Upon careful reflection, the celestial texts are authored by oneself;  
Gaining knowledge comes from one's own cultivation.
Completely dissipating the accumulated merits of past lives,  
Transcending growth under the celestial virtue's protection.
Immortals and Buddhas aid each other in fulfillment,  
Accumulated wisdom across lifetimes is fully manifested.
Now the merits and fruits are abundant and overflowing,  
Returning to perfection, the vehicle of transcendence shines ever brighter.
This verse is shared with all deities and Buddhas of Chongxin, as well as all students and virtuous fellow original spirit Buddhas and disciples for mutual encouragement! It elucidates the profound causes and conditions that have been exceedingly difficult to impart in the human world since ancient times. Without the supreme cause and condition of the founding patriarch of the Rational Brush School establishing the lineage, how could you have such a rare celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity to achieve realization? Reflect deeply, and all will become clear. I extend my gratitude for everyone's diligent efforts and wish all auspicious blessings.
Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
Wuji descends to the mortal realm by divine decree, while Zhongtan is born of heavenly destiny.
The Primordial Dao lineage turns to revere the heart,  
The commander's spirit is full, lovely and true.
All divine beings, Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Immortal Maiden of the Void Rainbow from our ancestral lineage has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This work conveys the virtuous grace of the Heavenly Realm down to the mortal world, representing a sacred mission uniquely entrusted to the Chongxin ancestral lineage, to be propagated and expanded outward.
Furthermore, for all of you in the future, a truly once-in-a-millennium great heavenly opportunity is being bestowed. This, again, is the great mission and sacred duty that only the Chongxin Sect lineage possesses. It has already been ten years, and I believe everyone has come to understand all the heavenly responsibilities and missions of the Chongxin Sect lineage. Although it has not yet fully expanded at present, in the next ten years, it will undoubtedly rise to its zenith like the sun at noon.
Moreover, it can be promoted without boundaries, precisely because of such heavenly opportunities and favorable conditions, combined with the repeated efforts of all celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers, who have collectively achieved results within the Chongxin lineage to put into practice! It is even more essential to benefit oneself and all sentient beings with compassion, thereby fostering virtuous and favorable causes to ascend, grow, elevate, and transcend.

第十八回　  乘越根基
Sentient beings of the human realm, with their varied capacities and roots of virtue.
To elevate the human world, it is essential to possess the great virtue of the heavens, which enables the human realm to achieve ascension and transcendence. This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity manifest through growth and learning in the 21st century. Through the human world, one can ascend and transcend, but this must genuinely bring comfort, convenience, and universality to all fundamental causes and conditions.
In all actions and endeavors within the human world, where technological civilization serves as the primary catalyst for growth and learning, it is essential that they be promulgated through the virtue and grace of Heaven. As for the foundational principles of propagating the Great Dao in the world, they are manifested through divine favor and the revelation of celestial mysteries, further distinguishing between what can be achieved or thwarted by human effort.
It also distinguishes the nurturing of human factors, enabling all descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land in the 21st century to stand in the human world, mutually supporting the creation of a humane world. Moreover, it fosters great karmic opportunities and foundations for technological civilization! This is, for the 21st century, the integration of human actions and behaviors.
It is essential that it be accomplished through human factors, in order to facilitate the learning process of human growth. This means bringing down the great virtues of Heaven, which is achieved by "borrowing" the technological civilization of outer space. All primary causes and conditions are directed toward the technological civilization of the human world, and through mutual fulfillment in the 21st century, this becomes the righteous path.
The Primary Cause for Elevating One's Foundation
Human activities rely on and drive progress, further propelling the technological civilization of the human world toward greater growth. To foster the development and achievements of the 21st century, it is essential to "borrow expertise" from extraterrestrial technological civilizations. This will ensure that all processes within the vast world are integrated, without distinguishing between the technological civilizations of the First Cosmic Cycle and the Second Cosmic Cycle.
And so it has been up to the present third kalpa, all shaped by human agency, precisely to provide more mature conditions for the technological civilization of the human world. Moreover, it is through this technological civilization that the well-being of humanity is fostered—an achievement that is indelible and cannot be abandoned, and which arises from the exceptional causal conditions of "borrowing talent."
Thus, in the 21st century, all genuine enhancements in function and effect are for the sake of truthfulness. Moreover, regarding all the technological civilizations of the first and second cosmic cycles from ancient times to the present, having traversed over four billion light-years, they have mutually fulfilled one another within the Earth-Ming Star. It is through human technological civilization that this can be verified.
Moreover, it is only in the context of these over four billion years of time that it remains difficult to comprehend how, during the first and second cosmic eons, advanced technologies were invented and created through "borrowing talents" on more than ten occasions across different temporal-spatial conditions. As for the human world, which is only aware of the current technological civilization, how were all those pioneering eras of time and space actually shaped?
The Necessity of Transcending Conditions
Yet, they are unable to comprehend that the planet Diming has long traversed over four billion light-years of time, mutually fulfilling one another. This presents a profound celestial opportunity for the technological creations of the human world, enabling the great cosmos to ascend and transcend! How much can humanity truly understand? At present, it remains quite limited—both in knowledge, concepts, and wisdom.
Regarding the four hundred million Buddha's children who descend to the mundane world, why is it necessary to "borrow" these four hundred million Buddha's children to descend into the Earthly Star? Could it be that without coming to the Earthly Star, it would not be possible? If, according to the fundamental structure of Heaven, the Earthly Star is also granted the true driving force for elevation and creation, can humanity comprehend this? It is highly unlikely!
However, the karmic foundation created by this worldly existence is precisely the condition for human advancement, giving rise to the creation of numerous civilizations. This is achieved by "borrowing" over two million high-tech talents to descend and transform, while also generating practical effects through creation and invention, thereby providing a stable living space free from disturbance.
On one hand, there is the invention and creation of the "borrowing talents" mechanism; on the other, it facilitates the growth and transcendence of the ninety-two primordial spirit Buddha-children. Moreover, every current action and mission carries the weight of all future innovations and inventions in the human world. This represents a profound celestial opportunity for the human realm to achieve genuine upward elevation.
Foundation and celestial secrets mutually support each other.
If we cannot advance the technological civilization of the human world, how can we truly benefit the welfare and virtue for future generations? This also allows the great Dao to spread its influence upon the Earth Star, guiding it toward greater growth and broader enlightenment. This is the profound virtue and compassion of Heaven, as well as its supreme benevolence.
Only with such a divine opportunity and favorable conditions can the fundamental framework of the human world be established. This is precisely about how human factors can create and enhance future well-being, embodying the utmost authenticity! Through the descent of divine will into the mundane world, all present technological civilizations can serve as a driving force for elevation, propelled by this very goal.
It is precisely through the pursuit of all goals in the human world that an upward elevation arises, rooted in a fundamental cause. If this fundamental cause cannot be sustained, it remains merely a goal, making it difficult to achieve the enduring strength of creation. Moreover, when human factors are elevated upward, it leads to the virtuous exercise of actions aligned with human purpose.
This approach is one of continuous elevation. Without perseverance, how can the actions aimed at a goal be truly and effectively realized? Since the goal is already established and its pursuit is underway, the process itself is shaped and determined by human factors, whether leading to success or failure. It is through distinguishing the actions taken towards the goal that one can apply sustained effort to carry them out.
All the power of practice possessed by human beings
This is what is said in the human world: if one part of greedy desire is to be used as a criterion to achieve a goal, it must be driven by a truly enduring force and must never be abandoned midway. If one retreats halfway, how can one ever accomplish the established purpose for which all efforts were directed?
One must possess firm determination and perseverance, and maintain consistent effort in actions, in order to truly implement one's goals. However, when such consistent effort is insufficient, how can one demonstrate the realization of these aims? This leads to frustration with one's own inadequacies, allowing the impulse of frustration to take hold. In the human world, this is a genuine moment of frustration with one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, urging oneself to strive even harder.
To realize goals within the human world, one must possess the strength of unwavering dedication. Only then can the desires driven by human factors be attained. This requires being discontent with one's own inadequacies and shortcomings, and then undertaking self-improvement, maintaining a persistent and vigorous force to advance. Only in this way can all actions and outcomes toward the objective be truthfully achieved.
Regarding the framework that has long existed, and even more so, its implementation concerning the divine opportunities and favorable affinities, the fundamental basis granted by the Heavenly Providence for such divine opportunities and affinities, as well as the primary foundation for elevating one’s roots, lies in truly transcending greedy desires, rather than treating it as an optional endeavor. Moreover, the human world is precisely where such purposes are carried out.
Distinguishing Between Constructed Affinities and Root-Cause Affinities
Only then can one truly rectify all past shortcomings and deficiencies within oneself. This is a process of refining one's impatience with those very inadequacies. Moreover, how can one harness an indomitable and steadfast spirit to stride toward greater growth? It is essential to maintain a constant, diligent effort in this practice, for it is through such persistent dedication that genuine elevation and transcendence in your future will be achieved.
To bestow upon the human world a path toward greater growth, one must genuinely realize the threefold practice of "setting goals, refining oneself, and persevering with constancy." Only then can the three afflictions of "greed, anger, and ignorance" be truly and profoundly elevated. Having experienced the karmic connection of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" through its writings, what reflections have you gained?
In the preceding seventeen chapters, has the original impetus for refinement and transformation been fully realized in relation to your objectives? Moreover, with unwavering courage and steadfast determination, strive to advance into a broader and more expansive realm, thereby laying the groundwork for the next elevation of celestial opportunities and foundational structures. This aligns with the Buddhist teachings on the three poisons: greed, anger, and ignorance.
It is through these three qualities that one ascends, rather than sinking into the "greed, hatred, and delusion" that lead downward. This principle holds true in all human realms. By progressing step by step with sincerity, one opens the door to greater growth. Reflect on your diligent studies over these years—have they brought you deeper benefits and growth? Only you can truly know.
Enhancing the foundation to ascend and transcend.
If one fails to cultivate and rectify their own shortcomings and deficiencies, they will remain forever within the realm of the Earthly Nether Star, merely repeating cycles of rebirth from one lifetime to the next. However, regardless of which religious sect or lineage one enters, it often serves only to facilitate another turn in the cycle of human rebirth in the next life. It is exceedingly difficult to break free from the constraints imposed by the limitations of human language and script.
It is essential to proceed step by step, ensuring that your educational and cultural curriculum truly benefits from the karmic connection with the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." Moreover, the virtue and grace of the Heavenly Realm among all original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the mortal world can elucidate and analyze the principles of Buddhism with utmost faithfulness, rather than allowing you to be confined or hindered by the limitations of words.
Moreover, it is impossible to elevate and transcend beyond your current foundations and frameworks. This makes it difficult for you to achieve genuine benefit and growth even over countless lifetimes. Therefore, in the 21st century, engaging in greater learning and growth means providing yourselves with the conditions for true benefit—ascending, advancing, and transcending to reclaim what is truly yours.
The virtuous grace of Heaven descends,  
Unveiling the grand purpose with clarity.
Craving for the objects of desire,  
Resenting the changes in one's own cultivation.
Self-improvement and transformation are personal endeavors,  
Perseverance and strength are even more fitting.
Firm resolve achieves great goals; adjust your mindset and shift your perspectives.
This verse! May all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be encourage one another, transforming your understanding of the Buddhist principles of "greed, anger, and ignorance" into upward-driving forces, granting you greater growth and benefit through these three aspects: "goal, refinement, and perseverance." This will direct your "greedy thoughts, wrathful resentments, and ignorant actions" toward a more powerful and expansive transformation! Thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Wuji Yaochi, the Guardian Treasure Immortal Boy
The predestined bond of Wuji came early into being,  
And in the blessed land of Yaochi, humanity too was perfected.
The Treasure-Guarding Immortal Child ascends the platform,  
Gathering together all devoted and virtuous students.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, within our sect lineage, the Immortal Maiden of Ethereal Colors from the Void has descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." Through the profound celestial opportunity of transcendence and expansion, she will analyze and reveal to you all how to genuinely elevate greedy desires and cravings upward, rather than letting them sink into degradation.
This is to distinguish between genuine transformation and mere superficial adjustment during the process of cultivation. It is a steadfast commitment to truthfully manifest the world of humaneness and achieve its purpose. Only through persistent and unwavering effort can one embody authenticity! Have you grasped the profound care and intention of the immortals and Buddhas in today's lesson?
It is precisely by addressing and transforming your "mindset and perspectives" that you can achieve greater elevation and transcendence. This will also enable everyone to cultivate virtuous causes and conditions, fostering collective growth, elevation, and transcendence—this is the true nature of reality. For today, we conclude here. Thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

第十九回 　了知天意
Humanity must understand all virtuous qualities.
The virtue and excellence of Heaven: it can serve as the primary cause for elevating one's foundation, precisely by understanding the divine will, which manifests in all orientations of human existence within the world of humanity. This allows for the mutual interdependence of renewal and decay; in this revelation of celestial design, the cycles of human birth, aging, illness, and death interact reciprocally, enabling the great virtue and grace to be more broadly propagated and expanded.
Furthermore, all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world are subject to the mutual cycles of metabolism. To summarize through the lens of metabolism, all the myriad original spirit Buddhas must understand that in the human world, the processes of "birth, aging, sickness, and death" operate through mutual cyclical interactions, which no living being can ultimately escape.
Regarding one's own future, it is about surviving amidst "birth, old age, sickness, and death," while also achieving mutual fulfillment with Heaven. This hinges on whether one can comprehend the great virtue and grace of "Heaven's will." If one can understand the will of Heaven, they will truly grasp that within divine intention lies a clear manifestation of Heaven's virtuous benevolence.
If one cannot clearly discern the will of Heaven above, it is difficult to understand that the human world operates through a cycle of mutual renewal and transformation, guided by the principles of human existence. Yet, why is it that from birth to old age and death, each step serves to fulfill oneself, while also mutually supporting the survival and direction of the original spirit and Buddha-nature within all beings?
In this world, goodness will be rewarded.
Furthermore, in all aspects of life, what we call the realm of existence is the world of true reality. If one fails to understand that the true reality is the foundation upon which survival depends, then the actions from birth to old age in the human world—why must we repeatedly, time and again, transform our childlike faces before entering the countenance of maturity?
Then, gradually, it enters the countenance of old age and decrepitude. This is the functional process of metabolism bestowed by Heaven upon the human world—can sentient beings comprehend its profound mystery? Moreover, in the human realm, ascent and reincarnation follow one another, delineating the boundary between transcendent ascension and the descent into the cycle of rebirth.
Why is it that in the human world, from birth to old age and death, the temporal and causal conditions at each stage are different? Sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples can carefully observe this process: from the tender faces of childhood, gradually maturing into steady and composed features, and then slowly aging into frailty. Such cycles and transformations occur time and again.
It is precisely by taking you as the primary functional entity upon which your own survival depends, and through this functional entity's relationship with all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, that one can comprehend how the same primordial original spirit descends into the physical body, and why there are successive cycles of transformation. It is essential to understand the revelation of heavenly mysteries within the human world.
All human beings are destined to pass away.
This is but a borrowed time for you all: borrowed for use, for viewing, for enjoyment, for possession. What the next moment holds? That remains unknown. Moreover, in the human world, this age-old mystery has long perplexed humanity: why do sentient beings face the cycle of life and death? It is, in truth, a mutual fulfillment of all the processes of renewal and decay inherent to humankind.
Moreover, regarding this exceptional set of causal conditions and their functional benefits for metabolism, it should be understood that the human world is merely a transitional phase. Although it exists within the temporal and spatial conditions of this transition, it serves as the true demarcation point for upward elevation as opposed to downward decline. This distinction arises from the life orientation and sustenance practices of human beings.
For all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha children, can they comprehend what the next moment holds? To truly understand, rather than having only a half-baked knowledge, how must one come to know that the Great Dao naturally nurtures all living beings, and further, why have all those who descended into the mortal world come? And what have they come to do?
What benefit does this bring to oneself? If there is no benefit, then why come to the human world at all? Throughout the ages, it has always been difficult to grasp the true meaning behind it. Humanity is trapped in this very vortex of confusion, fundamentally unable to comprehend why humans come into existence, what they are here to accomplish, and what it truly means for their own interests.
It is essential to grasp the present moment well.
However, in the present era, all religions regard reincarnation as undesirable. Yet, when viewed from the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, this very cycle of reincarnation serves as the boundary between ascent and descent. Without reincarnation, could sentient beings, the original spiritual children of Buddha, truly achieve genuine elevation within a single lifetime? This serves to compensate for the shortcomings found in all religions.
This further transcends both ascension and reincarnation, embodying even greater authenticity. Without reincarnation, how could there be ascendant transcendence? It would be impossible. Precisely because reincarnation exists, the merits and achievements of this life, this existence, can be accumulated and carried forward into the next life, enabling transcendent ascent through the cycle of rebirth.
If reincarnation merely signifies a downward spiral, confined to mutual cycles of rebirth that lead to further degradation in the next life, then ascending transcendence cannot be achieved, nor can one partake in the great grace of Heaven. The very purpose of the divine will is to allow sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s children, to understand: How does the will of Heaven manifest? Precisely because humanity is capable of ascending to transcendence—yet also capable of descending into degradation.
It hinges precisely on the present moment, the point of decision between what one chooses and rejects. This determines whether, after entering the path of religion, one can truly recognize one’s own inadequacies and shortcomings, and whether it is necessary to understand what material one is made of or what level of cultivation and spiritual state one has attained. It is about the interdependent actions within the human world, through which one may ascend, grow, and transcend.
Humans inhabit a four-dimensional space.
Considering the world inhabited by humans, it is indeed an independent planetary body. Moreover, when all living beings and myriad things enter the realm of the Earthly Star, they are inevitably constrained and bound by mutual interactions. This cyclical pattern, unchanged from ancient times to the present, serves as a means to understand the Earthly Star and reveals all the obstacles inherent in such mutual interactions.
If there were no such obstacles, how could there truly be a way to break free from the four-dimensional space of the Diming Star? How could humanity transcend this four-dimensional space to achieve mutual fulfillment within the Haotian Star System, thereby directly connecting to and transcending into the realms of the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heaven? This is the fundamental framework established by the Supreme Heavens.
It is precisely through the achievements in the Earthly Dark Star System that all original spirit Buddhas and disciples elevate one another. This, in turn, allows for the accumulation of various energy bodies, reaching the next moment or the next stage of elevation. Although all beings in the Earthly Dark Star exist in mutual opposition, they can nevertheless become fully realized through all the energy bodies within the Earthly Dark Star.
To apply this to oneself is to exist within limitations while striving for greater fulfillment, thereby transcending the interdependence of the four-dimensional space. It is precisely because of all the energy entities within this four-dimensional space that one can truly enter the "Middle Way," enabling the mutual accumulation of the abundant energy entities within heaven and earth.
Drawing from the abundant resources of heaven and earth
Without being fully equipped with the abundant energy body of the Earthly Nether Star, it is fundamentally impossible to transcend the Earthly Nether Star system and ascend to the more elevated realms: the Wuji, the Void, and the Cosmic Celestial Realm. Moreover, within the Earthly Nether Star, it is essential for you to genuinely attain the energy body that will enable your future return to the Wuji, the Void, and the Cosmic Celestial Realm.
It is essential to first grant you this protective function—the "innate immune energy body"—so that you may truly benefit, rather than allowing yourselves to sink repeatedly, time and again. This is certainly not the fundamental intention of Heaven! Moreover, it holds true for the human world, despite having endured all the trials of existence on the terrestrial star.
Furthermore, the mutual fulfillment among the "earth, water, fire, and wind" can also complement the mutual constraints within the "metal, wood, water, fire, and earth" five elements, creating a synergistic function. Whether one can comprehend the true nature of divine will, function, and action depends on nurturing all beings within the Earthly Star.
Understanding the Functional Framework of Divine Will
For those who engage in religious practice, is it possible to understand that while residing on the Earthly Star, one can accumulate a rich energy body capable of transcending the four-dimensional space in the future? That is what truly brings benefit and attainment to you. Can one comprehend this energy body, which has been confined and obstructed for millennia—restricted on one hand, yet beneficial on the other?
Once again, for your human world entering into the future world, it is essential to possess genuine and true functional benefits—this is the right path! Yet, being constrained on one side while benefiting on the other, can such a human world, within a single lifetime, achieve the fundamental capacity for ascension and transcendence?
Grant sentient beings and original spirit disciples the understanding that although they may be within a constrained and obstructed state, there will be genuine benefit in the spacetime conditions of a rich energy body. Without such a rich energy body, how could one achieve harmony and transcendence, perfection and surpassing in the next life or the next opportunity?
Humanity must comprehend the benevolent grace of divine will.
Although you dwell within a constrained space-time environment, it is precisely this environment that offers you genuine benefit. This paradoxical design of heaven's workings is what you, through countless lifetimes, have found truly difficult to comprehend in its profound depths! How, then, can you claim to understand the will of heaven and truly propagate the great Dao?
This is also the genuine efficacy of all religions and lineages on Earth Star in the process of response and transformation, which truly enables you to cultivate, transform, and elevate yourselves—this is indeed correct. Furthermore, it aligns with the essence and divine will recorded in the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" celestial scriptures, benefiting all sentient beings in their upward growth.
It is precisely about initiating the supplementation of all deficiencies and shortcomings in the religions of the Earthly Obscure Star; this, in turn, is the "true Buddha within the heart" of the 21st century, which brings forth the celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity. It also initiates for you all a genuine entry into the analysis of limitations and benefits, entering time and again into the profound depths, and even more so, into the true essence of reality.
The secrets of heaven reveal eternal mysteries,  
The world of sentient beings remains elusive to clarity.
How to Accumulate a Wealthy Foundation from the Limited Benefits of Dichotomy
Energy arises from within, naturally abundant and inevitably overflowing.
After breaking free, a vast space unfolds,  
Returning to transcendence, the Great Dao's epoch unfolds.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement! Since ancient times, the limitations and benefits of the earthly star have been precisely the dividing line between human factors that can achieve ascension and transcendence, and those that lead to descent and reincarnation! If there were no reincarnation in the human world, how could one transcend? This is worth pondering deeply, to comprehend its profound mysteries! Very well, thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious.
Limitless Jade Pool, Numinous Treasure Immortal Lad
The predestined affinity of the Ultimate Void descended early,  
All spirits cherish the sacred land of the Jasper Pool.
The Lingbao descended upon the Chongxin Hall,  
Immortal youths gathered with virtuous companions.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Immortal Maiden of Void Spirit Communication from our lineage has descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter aims to impart the virtuous grace of understanding the will of Heaven, and to initiate an analysis and fulfillment for all you sentient original spirit Buddha-children, addressing your ignorance and obstacles.
How to eliminate such limitations and accumulate the resulting benefits will allow you to smoothly transcend. Within the constraints and obstacles of the four-dimensional space, those who can comprehend the profound mysteries within are undoubtedly individuals of great wisdom. For those who cannot yet grasp these mysteries, they may proceed step by step, ascending repeatedly and continuously.
Furthermore, with the analysis and elucidation provided by the many immortal Buddhas and teachers, there will arise the favorable conditions of extraordinary and virtuous karma. This will also enable all of you, in this very lifetime, to truly benefit yourselves, returning to and transcending: the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Celestial Realm—this is the ultimate truth! Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

第二十回　 生老病死
All that is possessed by human beings: life
Sentient beings, capable of comprehending the will of Heaven, can understand that the human world is precisely constituted by the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering—a process of metabolism. It is through this that the true evolution within the vast cosmos unfolds, embodying the nature of reality. For the human world is indeed the great cosmos of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering.
All things undergo mutual cycles of metabolism to achieve elevation, while also differentiating into states of decline; this is indeed profoundly accurate. This process reflects the evolution and creation of the Earthly Abyss Star, representing the genuine mutual elevation and evolution of the human world. Why, then, does the human world possess such functional efficacy to pursue this?
To provide humanity with a basis for entering into their own growth and learning processes, as well as for future achievements, is something that all living beings across the vast universe find difficult to comprehend. They are unable to understand: Where does life come from? Why must we be born? And after being born, how can one truly elevate oneself?
If one descends into degradation, the function of life is merely to exist within the earthly realm. The human world resides solely in the process of living. Although this necessity of life in the human world is correct, often during the deep night or in moments of profound silence, an "empty soul" will reveal itself.
The Survival and Evolution of Human Beings
How then should one evolve the survival of life; yet, where does life come from? What purpose does life serve? These are the perplexities that all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children of the Earthly Nether Star often encounter. Such confusion is common in the vast cosmos, and human existence is merely like a passing traveler through time and space—who can endure forever without perishing?
On the planet Daming, all mountains, rivers, and lands are in a state of continuous evolution and migration. This applies to every form of existence on Daming—without distinction among species, animals, plants, or minerals. You may observe carefully: from birth to old age and death, humans too are constantly changing.
At every stage, what is there that does not continuously evolve and transform? It is yet another process of "birth, abiding, change, and extinction." Within this, even the countless mountains, rivers, and vast lands are ceaselessly shifting and changing. So too are all animals, plants, and minerals—from the moment of birth, they are constantly undergoing alteration and migration.
Thus, if the movement of life is to allow the Earthly Nether Star to forever exist in a state of evolution, mutually fulfilling one another, this can be proven by your current technology! It is a problem that arises for the human world after birth, no different for any species, and it continues to change, evolve, and grow.
The survival of human beings: aging
It is because with life there must come aging, and with aging there must come sickness; with sickness one will inevitably enter the state of passing, which is death. Moreover, aging serves as the space for all renewal and metabolism—this holds true for every species. If you do not believe it, you may carefully observe the entire process of the environment in which humans dwell, from your youth onward, through all future times and conditions.
Which one does not migrate, transform, or change? It is precisely through this that we can understand the human world: migration, transformation, and change are the mutual fulfillment of metabolism. Thus, what has grown old becomes unsuitable, and it is through aging that we undertake repair and reform. From this, we can comprehend that aging, in the human world, signifies the approach of the moment of passing.
During this period, the knowledge and actions acquired in the human world, along with all experiences and wisdom, are accumulated into an ever richer repository. Though old, it remains a treasure, for in the human world it becomes clear that the accumulation of experience and the growth of wisdom form a precious source of nourishment, passed down to educate future generations and sustain cultural heritage.
Furthermore, aging serves as the fundamental driving force of all existence, enriching the human world through its gradual descent. Although old age draws near to the boundary of death, the sentiment of "the sunset is infinitely beautiful, yet dusk is at hand" reflects humanity’s entry into this realm, ultimately contributing to the shaping of future temporal and spatial environments, where mutual fulfillment is achieved.
All ailments that afflict human beings.
From the perspective of the human world: regardless of any species, all are subjected to the torment of illness and suffering, and this is the same for all species in the human world. Moreover, the illnesses and pains of the human world are manifested in the current technological civilization, which can alleviate the suffering of diseases that in the past could not be relieved through the application of technology.
All of these can be alleviated significantly through contemporary technological civilization. For today's human world, during times of illness, this serves to reduce much pain and suffering. If we address such pressures through human-driven evolution, and consider from the perspective of species: the pain and illnesses are precisely those whose symptoms and afflictions are difficult for the human world to fully comprehend.
Human suffering can be expressed through language, yet it is impossible to articulate the suffering of other species in the same way. Would the world of humanity then assume that only humans fall ill? In truth, this is not the case! On the planet Diming, all species are susceptible to illness—it is merely that humans cannot perceive it.
If human beings could perceive that other species also fall ill, how would you feel? From the perspective of Earth and the underworld: only the human world can articulate the symptoms of illness through words. For other species, when they fall ill, it can only be discerned through external observation.
All living beings, once born, are destined to die.
After illness, the question of future destiny inevitably arises: where do people go after death? And where do other species go after they perish? It can be understood that the measure of death is fulfilled through human agency. In the human world, death is recognized by the cessation of all bodily movement.
Yet it remains unclear where one goes after death. This is an age-old mystery for all. It is important to understand whether the shadow of death can be dispelled, or if there will be no fear at all! In the human world, death is simply the cessation of breath—what you call "lazily ceasing to breathe."
If one's breath ceases, what then? It is precisely that all mortals, constrained by the limits of the underworld star system, return to dust. As for humanity, from what does it arise? Yet we cannot comprehend whence life comes, nor where death goes. Even less can we grasp that the world of humanity is one of "metabolism," where mutual fulfillment constitutes the true path.
Birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering are inevitable experiences for humanity.
This divine will of Heaven makes it clear that the human world is but a transient guest of time. Who can truly comprehend the mysteries of the heavens? To fulfill and achieve oneself is the true way to prepare for what follows after death—how to attain ascension and transcendence. For death is merely the beginning of all rebirth in the next life.
This process of rebirth, which constitutes the fundamental cause and condition necessary for reincarnation, is akin to the metabolism of all things in the human world. Its functional benefits serve as mutual validation for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children across the past, present, and future. In the human realm, it manifests merely as the cyclical alternation of the four stages: birth, aging, sickness, and death.
One can comprehend the distinctions of "birth, abiding, change, and extinction," and speak of the alternation between them. This process of "birth, aging, sickness, and death" mutually supports the renewal and metabolism of the human world. It is through this dynamic that the human world is elevated, offering it a cycle of mutual ascent and descent, which constitutes the true nature of reality.
Birth, aging, illness, death, and suffering—these cycle endlessly among all living beings.
Otherwise, if the human world only had birth and no death, the Earth-Ming star system would have long been overpopulated! How could there still be a space for you to survive in this present time and place? Moreover, this condition of causality truly demonstrates to all living beings in the human world the principle of "metabolism" and all its cycles of renewal.
It is precisely for you, in this very moment, to realize that you are no different. When "birth" is followed by the torment of "sickness," and from there one gradually "ages," then "death" is not far away. Who can claim eternal longevity? None! As the immortals and Buddhas have said, "Impermanence is ever at our side." Who can escape it? None!
This serves as a mutual reminder: human existence is but a fleeting passage through time and space. Even mountains, rivers, the earth, and all living beings are in a constant state of change, construction, and destruction. Can any person or any species be exempt from this? No. Yet, when humanity arises, it carries the potential for virtuous causes and conditions, enabling growth and elevation.
Metabolism governs the natural order,  
The human world relies on mutual interdependence.
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the primary concerns;  
Generation, abiding, change, and extinction form the fundamental mechanism.
Mountains, rivers, and the great earth serve as the host;  
Human time and space pass as transient guests.
All beings of creation come forth to enact their roles;  
Which among them shall ascend and transcend to fulfill the covenant?
This verse is shared among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement, analyzing and elucidating the fundamental intent of Heaven. It serves to help you understand and remain vigilant in the present moment, for you are merely borrowing this existence to live! Who, then, can transcend such limitations? Only those with great spiritual capacity! Very well, thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Wuji Yao Chi, the Joyful Jade Fairy
The Limitless descends to Chongxin Hall,

Joyful gathering of immortals and sages,  
Fairy maidens ascend the terrace to share homely tales.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, within our lineage, the Immortal Maiden of the Ethereal Spiritual Aperture has descended to compose the twentieth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." She will once again elucidate the fundamental virtues and intentions of the Heavenly Dao, and further analyze the causes and conditions of "birth, aging, sickness, and death," enabling all of you to truly comprehend the causes, conditions, and processes across time and space.
It is to make you understand that the planet Earth, where you currently live, is also constantly undergoing change, migration, and adjustment. Through modern technology, we can realize that from the limited perspective of the human eye, it is difficult to perceive how the Earth is continuously shifting, transforming, and being refined.
This holds true at all times, even from your present moment into the future. Who can truly comprehend the workings of this constant flux, transformation, and refinement? This is the function of "impermanence and constancy." What, then, is its profound essence? In the future, it will surely be analyzed in detail. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

The Cycle of Renewal in Literary Creation

第廿一回　 新陳代謝
The universe and the world must undergo renewal and transformation.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death can be observed: every primordial spirit and Buddha-child, in their present existence within the human world, relies primarily on the cycle of metabolism. Moreover, all sentient beings across the vast universe mutually experience and undergo the succession of these five states: birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering.
It can be understood that it is precisely through the function of metabolism that all beings are sustained within the Earthly Star, regardless of any species; this is also the most fundamental basis for mutual sustenance in the human world. Only through all cycles of metabolism can the next vitality emerge and manifest, and it is through observing metabolism that all living beings in the vast world are contemplated.
All sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can be said to traverse the mortal world: from birth to old age and death, every stage, every moment, and every process in between is sustained by the interplay of metabolism. Without this metabolism, how could each sentient being rely upon one another? And what, then, would be the fundamental cause of this mutual dependence?
It can be understood that for a sentient being, although it is the same body, from the moment of birth onward, the body undergoes independent renewal through metabolism. From birth onward, even in a relatively immature temporal and spatial environment, it must inevitably undergo repeated cycles of survival orientation and learning growth.
Human beings also undergo metabolism.
Human beings, within approximately one to two decades, develop into robust physical forms. This journey from birth—through infancy, adolescence, youth, and into middle age—spans about thirty years of time and circumstances. This period represents the peak opportunity for a sentient being, an original spirit and child of Buddha, when their energy and vitality are at their fullest.
Moreover, the body of thirty years ago was relatively less prone to the afflictions of physical ailments. If we look further ahead to the body thirty years from now, it gradually enters the beginning of the decline from its prime. From this, one can clearly understand that as the years advance over the next three decades, observing the bodies of sentient beings reveals how, time and again, they continuously differentiate and transform their own physical forms.
Distinguishing between proper care and neglect is crucial for determining whether one's body can continue to serve well over the next thirty years. With good maintenance, even after sixty years, one may still possess a relatively healthy physique. Thus, what was once merely a physical form evolves through continuous cycles of renewal and transformation.
Allowing a sentient human being to evolve through each cycle of existence in such an environment, when observed from the perspective of the original spiritual Buddha-nature within sentient beings, reveals that entering the human world enables one to understand: though the same physical body may be inhabited, each cycle is distinct, shaped by transformations across different times and spaces.
The Function and Role of Metabolism
It can be observed through the stages after birth: infancy, adolescence, youth, prime of life, and middle age, then progressing into the gradual aging phase and the remaining years of old age until passing away. That is to say, by following the human cycle of "birth, abiding, change, and extinction," we can perceive that all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-nature beings manifest precisely through the entire process of the body's "metabolism."
Regarding the human world as a realm of both acquisition and orientation, one must understand that all four elements of the vast universe—"earth, water, fire, and wind"—serve to mutually fulfill and benefit one's own physical body, while also influencing the elevation of one's spiritual nature. Thus, the Heavens have bestowed upon sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples the means for growth.
To ascend and transcend the fundamental elements is precisely the ability to transform the physical body, which is constrained by the four elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" on the Earthly Star. This transformation fulfills the functional benefits of bodily metabolism and further enables spiritual elevation to achieve ascension and transcendence. This process serves as the primary mutual foundation for the human world.
On one hand, it is achieved through the body and spirit; on the other, it also obstructs the body and spirit. This contradiction makes it difficult for the human world to grasp the distinction between elevation and hindrance. Sentient beings are all unable to comprehend the entire process of "birth, existence, change, and extinction" in the human world.
Sentient beings undergo metabolism.
Why is it limited to the four elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind"? This is because the Heavenly Providence, out of compassion for the sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples of the Earthly Obscurity Star, aims to help them ascend and transcend the fundamental structure. It also grants them genuine benefit and harvest. If one merely clings to entering religious faith as a refuge, it becomes even more difficult to improve one's own obscurations and obstacles of ignorance.
It merely involves entering into religion, holding onto the belief of reincarnation in the next life. The world of sentient beings is just like this, and so are the religions in today's world—all confined by their own ignorance and obstacles, making it difficult to achieve self-elevation and transcendence. Consequently, even after entering religion, one remains hindered by religious thoughts and concepts.
It is fundamentally impossible to truly comprehend why the human world came to the planet Diming, or how to break free from the constraints imposed by it—such is the nature of its formation! One may observe through the lens of the human realm: the true path lies in understanding how to dissolve one's own limitations and obstacles. It is precisely because of the ordeal of survival that all are bound by these limitations and hindrances.
For all sentient beings and original spirit disciples, entering into the process of providing energy for their own bodies and understanding how to supply energy to the earth in a way that truly benefits and yields gains requires striving for self-elevation rather than sinking downward and becoming constrained. In the human world, the body is inevitably subject to the mutual cycle of metabolism.
The Primary Basis of Metabolism
All sentient beings in the world of emotions are like this: none can escape such limitations. Within these constraints, the cyclical process of "metabolism" in the body provides a direction for survival, leading to the act of satiation through nourishment. This very act of satiation, in turn, becomes bound by the confines of the human world.
The physical body imposes limitations on the energy body, which is a fundamental truth. Furthermore, if the energy from nourishment is not integrated into the body, it causes significant harm to one's physical form. Thus, the act of eating, while essential for supplying energy to the body, simultaneously creates an obstacle due to its damaging effects.
Within the human world, all food chains provide the necessities for the survival of all living beings, yet they also inflict harm upon the energy of your physical bodies. This causal condition is paradoxical: it grants the means to elevate one's energy body through the act of satiation, while simultaneously perpetuating a cycle of mutual destruction of one's own energy body.
What is the cause that shapes this? How does your human world enable genuine self-elevation? Through such contradictory interactions, the human world truly fulfills its elevation by refining the energy of its own physical form—this is the correct path. In this process of elevation, it serves as a purification of one's spiritual essence.
All enhancement functions of metabolism
Although it is a physical body, confined within the "earth, water, fire, and wind" of the Earthly Star, it also serves as the primary causal body urging you to ascend—yet this seems contradictory. How can it be so? In truth, the Earthly Star is a world of mutual opposition, where the very nature of all causal bodies lies in the limitations and obstacles of such mutual opposition.
It is also a transcendence achieved through mutual interaction and elevation, yet it exists within this very contradiction. Could it be that the human world is incapable of growth and transcendent elevation? Indeed, it is possible. It is essential to understand the nature of limitations and obstacles—what are all these constraints? And how does growth occur through elevation and transcendence? This is precisely where humanity finds itself most perplexed.
One must truly comprehend the fundamental nature of how the "mind, spirit, and body" mutually fulfill and hinder one another. If this understanding remains elusive, no matter which religion sentient beings may enter, it will only serve as a seed cause for another cycle of rebirth in the next life.
This understanding of the divine grace bestowed upon all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas within the vast universe allows for clarity regarding obstructive factors and elevating factors, both of which exist in mutual opposition. Therefore, truly achieving ascension and transcendence becomes difficult, as the underlying cause lies in the differential effects of obstructive limitations and the foundation for transcendence.
Metabolism cycles in mutual succession.
How can we enhance and enrich our own energy body? We must first understand that in the human world, the physical body requires nourishment from the food chain. The mutual support and fulfillment of the body's functions is the true path. This also necessitates a proper understanding of how to utilize the provisions of the food chain, thereby reducing obstacles to our own growth.
Limited by the human body, it is through the four elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" that one can truly benefit oneself. Moreover, this benefit requires you to understand how to gain from the food chain while not harming other living beings, which is of great importance to the body's energy.
Such faith enables one to truly elevate oneself upon entering religion, while also distinguishing between benefits for the body and those for the spirit. It is in the stirring of thoughts and intentions that one learns to differentiate how to enrich and fulfill one's energy body, and how to genuinely accumulate one's energy, thereby achieving true self-improvement.
Not only does it lie within the food chain, where the energy absorbed by the body is sufficient; indeed, there is an ancient Taiwanese proverb: "Starvation leads to hunger, overeating harms the spleen." Both excess and deficiency affect the body's energy! This is difficult for oneself to achieve—whether the body's energy is sufficient or not. The human world is precisely inseparable from the balance between these two extremes.
The Interaction of Metabolism
And with the true absorption of energy, all sentient beings benefit and gain in this way! In the human realm, one can understand that it is truly a mutual existence within a single body; yet through repeated cycles of time and space, each iteration either fulfills or alters the completeness of the body's energy.
This distinction arises from the maintenance or neglect due to human factors. The physical body in the human world is referred to by general religions as the "temporary vessel." The function of this temporary vessel is thus described when compared to the enduring nature of heaven and earth. Moreover, in this present life and world, what can you call temporary? Is your own body temporary?
If you claim this is an illusory body, then take a knife and cut it. If there is no bleeding or pain, it is indeed an illusory body. But if cutting with a knife causes pain and bleeding, then it is not an illusory body—it is a real one. Moreover, this real body, in the present moment, is subject to all the limitations and obstacles imposed by the Earthly Obscure Star, preventing it from ascending and progressing in the human realm.
All worldly existence ascends and transcends upward.
It is precisely within such obstacles and limitations that the causes and conditions for elevation and transcendence lie, and this is correct. The distinction between the false self and the true self is itself quite contradictory. If this is so, then there are far too many contradictions in the human world. How, then, do you resolve these contradictions? It is through this that one can truly achieve elevation and transcendence.
One can thus draw upon the abundance of all energy bodies from the Earthly Obscure Star to achieve ascension and transcendence, rather than being hindered by limitations and obstacles. That is not the true way to enter into religion for benefit and attainment. Regarding the contradictions of this human world, it is essential to genuinely reform them—only then can one be considered a truly wise being.
Moreover, it can bring endless benefits to oneself! This is precisely what the immortal and Buddha teachers analyze for us, addressing all the limitations and obstacles in the human world, elevating your energy bodies. It is bound to create favorable conditions and good karma, enabling transcendence and return. Do you not desire this? It is essential to wholeheartedly strive for growth, elevation, and transcendence.
Upon pondering the contradictory world,  
Earth, water, fire, and wind vie with one another.
Learning while benefiting, the Middle Way can be reconstructed and returned to.
Human karma, empty and vast, bears all;  
Rising above, one must transcend oneself.
If the limitations and obstacles prove hard to overcome,  
In the next cycle of rebirth, they will return once more.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples for mutual encouragement! For you who have entered the human world, undergoing cycles of reincarnation time and again, it must be exhausting and yet unavoidable—truly tiring and pitiable! May everyone comprehend the profound care and effort of the immortals and Buddhas, and elevate yourselves through firsthand experiences! Your efforts are deeply appreciated. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

The Heaven and Earth of the Great Cosmos Star System
Metabolism: It allows one to observe the fundamental functional benefits of sentient beings, which are exercised and relied upon in the human world. It is essential to clearly understand "birth, aging, sickness, and death." This pertains to the function of "birth, aging, sickness, and death," enabling human beings to mutually support all functions on the Earthly Star.
Regarding this situation, it can be thoroughly understood that there exists a cycle of renewal, so as to prevent the world from becoming overpopulated. All aspects of this condition—"birth, death, sickness, aging, and suffering"—are inherent in the course of action. One must comprehend that in the human world, this cycle of renewal allows your physical bodies to exist in a wholesome manner.
It is achieved through the individual, growing through different times and conditions, and all future functions are mutually complementary and reinforcing. It is precisely this solidity that constitutes the primary functional benefit of the Earthly Underworld Star System. Without the solidity of the earth, how could one observe the body: the reliance upon and demands of all actions and movements?
This extraordinary condition of causes and conditions, when applied to the human world, can be understood through the solidity of earth as the framework of the physical body, which is its true nature. Moreover, it is precisely the solidity of earth that enables all living beings on the planet to stand firmly upon it and thrive in goodness. In the human body, this solidity of earth is manifested as what we call the "skeletal structure."
Earthly Obscurity Star: The Solidity of Earth
Thus, it provides the fundamental structural support for all living beings and myriad entities. This can be described as the skeletal framework that upholds the physical body. In the human world, it is essential to have this skeletal structure to possess the strength for support, enabling existence on the Earth Star. This firm grounding in the earth allows for the sustenance and survival of all living beings.
Moreover, it never abandons any sentient being, and truly, in the world of humanity, it makes no distinction among all races and species, caring for all as one. This can be described as the "grace of heaven and earth's shelter and support," which, with the solidity of the earth, allows humanity and all beings to firmly establish their path of survival and dwell peacefully within the space of the earthly realm.
Furthermore, consider carefully: the ground you tread upon at this moment is what is known as the "solidity of the earth." This solidity, a virtue of the great earth, is mirrored in the skeletal structure of your own body, which serves as the primary supporting framework enabling you to move freely across the planet. This reflects the true nature of action and, moreover, brings benefit to all sentient beings among humanity.
Earthly Obscurity Star: The Fluidity of Water
It can also be said: regarding the necessity of this directional action, it is to care for the original spirits of all sentient beings who are blessed by the earth! That is, all necessary orientations for survival on Earth, where 70% of the human body consists of flowing water, and similarly, 70% of Earth is water, distinguishing the complementary relationship between oceans and land.
This also states: In terms of the flow of water, it nourishes all living beings to sustain life, and the flow of water also provides moisture for the survival of all things. For bodily functions, it acts as a true and mutual aid, assisting in the regulation of survival and dependence. It can be said that for the planet Earth, all living beings that are capable of movement are essential.
Life depends on the flow of water to survive. Furthermore, consider carefully: for sentient beings entering the human world, from birth to old age and death, each day requires the drinking of water. Only then can the body avoid being affected by excessive heat or dryness. If it becomes too dry, it is surely due to a lack of moisture from water.
Earthly Star of Darkness: The Warmth of Fire
Nor should the body be treated with extremes. If one says: too much water leads to flooding, and an excessive flow of water brings the calamity of inundation to the races dwelling on the Earthly Underworld Star, then the regulatory function of water must be distinguished between appropriateness and the Middle Way! This is the essence of the Light, and at this very moment, it is composing the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series, relying on—the light of the lamp.
This will enable all students present and the divine beings to directly benefit from the illumination of light; and regarding the luminous essence of fire, it can be said that it is the dependent function favored by the sun. This will also exist in the human world, bringing the warmth of fire to the bodies of all sentient beings by 20 percent.
It can also be said that the entire Earth Star relies on 20% of thermal energy to mutually sustain its warming function. If the fire is too fierce, it will scorch everything. From the perspective of all living beings on the Earth Star, this is neither desirable nor applicable. Moreover, fire serves as a source of warmth, protecting sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children to ensure their survival.
It is precisely regarding "water and fire"—the two elements that complement each other with essential necessity—that if the balance between water and fire is lacking, survival becomes difficult. This serves as the fundamental basis for humanity's adaptation to the Middle Way. Excess or deficiency in either is neither suitable nor desirable, and this principle applies to the harmonious integration and mutual support of "water and fire."
Sentient human beings are precisely the primary sustaining force of the Middle Way. Yet in times of "water and fire clashing," all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children are bound to suffer calamity! Moreover, greater disasters and dire tidings may arrive! It is essential to understand that the human body inherently requires both water and fire, each mutually dependent upon the other.
Earthly Obscurity Star: The Nature of Wind's Motion
Furthermore, all invisible gases and their functions—can you see the gas that is wind? No! It is all unseen, yet it can be felt. If even a single breath of wind were to cease, could the world of humanity continue to exist peacefully on the planet Dimingxing? No! It would be exceedingly difficult!
This substance of wind cannot have a direct function, yet it possesses a sensory capacity. Moreover, it must mutually complement the 10% flow of wind through the human body. Within the human body, it is the bones of earth that provide support and structure, which must be combined with the warmth of fire and the circulation of water to achieve mutual assistance and functional benefits.
Moreover, if there were a lack of wind to stir the air, could you all survive? It would indeed be impossible, for it is precisely the blowing of the wind that ignites the fire and generates heat. Additionally, the ability of water to flow must also rely on the stirring of the wind to achieve its fluidity. All of this can be observed through the great atmospheric phenomena of the human world.
The master of all winds lies in the mutual assistance of air currents blowing, and when it intensifies to a higher degree over water, it forms typhoons and hurricanes. This elevation of water’s power inevitably causes harm and destruction to humanity and all living beings. If we consider fire, without the wind to fan and intensify the flames, how could it grow even more scorching?
The Functions, Benefits, and Conflicts of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind
This clarifies the dominance of wind: when combined with the human body, if the wind does not arrive, it is merely a lifeless corpse. Such mutual assistance is also mutual constraint. How to understand this and abide by the Middle Way is indeed the truth! It is essential to comprehend that all forms of mutual assistance serve as the foundation for the survival of the human world.
If they clash with each other, it will cause greater destructive and lethal power to the human world, which is the result of not following the Middle Way. Moreover, in the human world, what kind of mindset should be adopted to benefit oneself from all that is created by the four elements, rather than gaining no benefit, or even harming the conditions for one's own upward growth?
To grasp this fundamental concept, it is essential to understand it clearly and thoroughly as it truly is. Only then can you genuinely comprehend how to benefit from the virtuous blessings of heaven and earth's evolution. Without such understanding, you will merely undergo another cycle of reincarnation in the next life, and time and again, you will struggle to perceive the mutual conflicts and the functional benefits of mutual support.
How should one elevate oneself, striving upward to transcend and return? Such a celestial opportunity and good affinity—you in the human world ought to understand that the most fundamental practice is to align with true nature. Moreover, upon entering the human world, you have long been subject to the effects and damages of such functional actions, which possess a destructive force in the orientation of survival. How, then, can you perceive this clearly?
The great principle of heaven and earth in cycle,  
Earth, water, fire, and wind in mutual accord.
Human relationships serve as auxiliary forces,  
Yet conflicts and harm often stem from oneself.
The foundation for applying the Middle Way lies in daily practice and mutual reliance.
Breathe through the nose with steady rhythm, allowing air to flow freely for oneself.
Aha! When you enter the world of mortal existence, you are granted the necessity to ascend beyond and overcome the cycles of reincarnation—yet you remain entangled in contradictions. This world truly lacks delight. Do not be deluded, nor linger too long; avoid letting yourself grow numb, lest you sink into the ceaseless cycles of reincarnation on the earthly star. Hope for it, understand it. Today, I thank you all for your companionship. With heartfelt gratitude, farewell!
Wuji Dongying, the Bodhisattva Guanyin
The cause for revering the heart is indeed profound,  
A decree from the Wuji reveals its glory.
The Guanyin from the East Sea arrives upon the stage,  
Gathering with virtuous disciples, their virtue thus enhanced.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Institute. Today, the Immortal Maiden from the Void Spiritual Assembly of our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of "The Great Dao and Heaven-Earth." This chapter elucidates the closely interconnected elements of "earth, water, fire, and wind" in the human world. Once again, this serves to help you understand: how can you recognize your own shortcomings and deficiencies?
"It is precisely 'the solidity of earth, the fluidity of water, the warmth of fire, and the movement of wind' that are essential to the human body, and this is also how the entire planet Earth is observed through earth, water, fire, and wind. What does the human body possess? It possesses the vastness of earth as well! Moreover, they are intimately interconnected and never deviate from one another! How could any of you possibly defy this? None can! Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!"

Dao of Heaven and Earth, Chapter Twenty-Three: The Root of Transcending Obstacles
第廿三回　 障礙超越
How to Eliminate the Function of Obstruction
The cycle of "birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering" among humanity can be understood. In the vast universe, all sentient beings undergo a continuous process of renewal and mutual circulation. From the perspective of the myriad primordial spirits of heaven and earth, this functional dynamic manifests as both mutual elevation and mutual hindrance. How, then, can all contradictions in the human world be resolved?
This is the human world, the fundamental obstacle for all sentient beings with emotions. It is essential to understand why the human world comes into existence, why it persists, and why it perishes. These questions are profoundly difficult to comprehend, as they hinge merely on the direction of survival and the actions of dependence. It is exceedingly difficult, and even more challenging to dissolve the obstacles of the human realm.
Instead, they all sink into the world of human existence, trapped in cycles of rebirth. This is an obstacle that is difficult for the sentient world to transcend. It is essential to understand that the world of human existence is constrained by mutual interactions. One must comprehend how to thoroughly understand these limitations and how to break free from the bonds of such obstacles, thereby dissolving them.
In the human world, it is essential for all sentient beings and spiritual disciples to understand that this realm is defined by mutual interactions and limitations. While ordinary beings may grasp this concept, they often fail to truly comprehend how to dissolve these obstacles. This limitation is precisely why they remain constrained within the realm of Earth.
Where there is love, there are obstacles to survival.
Since ancient times, in the struggle for survival and sustenance, humanity has been unable to resolve its inherent contradictions. Instead, for the sake of mere existence, it has suppressed its spiritual foundation. This raises the question: why have the countless Buddhas and sentient beings descended into this galaxy, the Earthly Star, only to become further entangled and lost within it?
It is essential to clarify what is obstructed by mutual contradictions. If such obstacles of mutual contradiction cannot be resolved, they will forever persist in the human world and exist within the contradictions of every sentient being. This is precisely what confines oneself, hindering progress and creating limitations! Is this not the very reason?
Why does the human world require survival? Is it impossible to exist in the human realm without survival? Not exactly! It is because the human world necessitates a food chain for sustenance and nourishment in order to endure long in this earthly life. As for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children in the second to third dimensions, why is it that they can survive without the need for a food chain?
It is not necessarily so! In the second space, these sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-disciples, much like in the human world, also require the sustenance provided by the food chain. However, they are unable to comprehend the necessity and reality of this food chain supply, which exists interdependently within the human world and addresses the essential needs of warmth and sustenance.
Obstacles are rooted in the very nature of existence.
Its function lies precisely in providing the satisfaction of sustenance to the food chain. If there were no need for the fulfillment of satiety, your human world would not require the food chain for survival. Moreover, for ordinary beings, from birth to old age and death, survival habits are consistently shaped by the teachings of predecessors, emphasizing that the food chain is essential for existence.
This is the limitation of mutual obstacles that cannot be overcome. If primordial spirit Buddhas descend into the human world, they do so with such causes, functions, and benefits. However, in other star systems where there exist living spaces similar to those of humans, there is no need to rely on the food chain for sustenance, thus forming different orientations among sentient beings.
Thus, it becomes clear that the human world, from birth to old age and death, is fundamentally based on the food chain. This gives rise to numerous contradictions in all aspects of human existence and survival. Considering the necessity of the food chain for sustenance, one might ask: What would happen if the human world no longer required the food chain for its provision?
Furthermore, it will greatly reduce acts of killing and can rectify all the proper functions and benefits of the human world, which is true and real. It also involves transforming and overcoming such obstacles to achieve elevation, enabling one to understand why the human world must rely on the supply of the food chain to sustain the interdependent actions necessary for survival.
How, then, should one transcend obstacles?
Buddhism teaches: "Do not eat after noon." How can this be explained? If from the moment of birth, one does not need to rely on the food chain, it is possible to enhance the independent function of survival within the human world. This independent function precisely involves adapting your digestive system to the food chain on which your survival depends.
This can reduce all food chains in the human world, as well as the interdependent actions among them. This explains why other star systems similar to the Earth and the Underworld Star lack similar food chains. Such obstacles and hardships are merely habitual necessities. If such arguments were applied to the human world, what would be the outcome?
You might think that this is just lofty talk from immortals and buddhas who do not need to eat; how shameful! Because you live within Di Ming Xing, you lack such concepts and ways of thinking. If I, as your teacher, were to view this from the broader perspective of the universe, the void, and the boundless celestial realms, I would ask: why does this food chain encounter such obstacles specifically on Di Ming Xing?
Yet, how are the limitations thus produced to be resolved? It is exceedingly difficult! All are bound by the footsteps of predecessors; each day, one must rely on the food chain to be fed and clothed. How then can the Buddhist practice of "not eating after noon" be applied? Would that not leave you all emaciated from hunger? Moreover, such notions and arguments are unlikely to be accepted by the multitude of human beings.
The Method and Purpose of Transcendence
If we consider the virtue and grace of heaven and earth, and elevate our discourse to the level of human existence, I wonder if you can carefully comprehend the intentions of the immortals and buddhas? Furthermore, from the perspective of the human world: all orientations toward survival possess a true necessity, which is by no means merely about the food chain, but rather about the necessity of purifying one's own spirituality.
This is to show you how the three aspects of "body, mind, and spirit" can be integrated, and to provide sentient beings and original spirit disciples with the necessary means to elevate their inner spiritual realization. Only through this can you understand why the human world requires a food chain, and why it is constrained by limitations—all of this lies herein.
The argument of this concept might lead many people to say: If only humans did not need to eat, then they could ascend to become immortals or buddhas. However, the issue lies in whether the human world can reduce the food chain and thereby diminish the impure energy bodies generated by it.
Moreover, it can also contaminate the bodies of all beings. You may further consider: if the food chain can be reduced, might it lessen the burden on the body? Furthermore, the current interdependence of all food chains in Taiwan has already deviated from the natural laws of survival in the human world, often constrained by the negative influences of human society.
Transcending the Barriers to Elevation
This process introduces numerous harmful gases into the food chain and accumulates them within your own bodies, thereby increasing the burden on bodily functions. Can you comprehend that this burden, in fact, pollutes your spirituality and creates significant obstacles? I wonder if you can grasp this point? Indeed, you cannot!
In the human world, everything is driven by material gain. This utilitarian reality places a burden on your "body, mind, and spirit," leading to the accumulation of negative energy within the energy body. How, then, can such obstacles be dissolved? Consider further: why does the human world require a food chain for sustenance?
If the food chain is taken directly from nature, it will greatly benefit the body. However, if the food chain is artificially processed for consumption, it is likely to generate negative energy within one's own body, accumulating over time. As this builds up year after year, what will become of you?
All the filth of humanity will accumulate.
It is as if the filth accumulated over countless lifetimes has piled up generation after generation. How then can such deep-seated impurities be cleansed? It is indeed difficult, exceedingly so. Consider this carefully: if the toxins and defilements amassed little by little over many lifetimes have accumulated for forty or fifty years, it is akin to the accumulation of forty or fifty lifetimes. How would you feel about that?
How can the considerable toxins present within the body be eliminated? This line of thought allows you to understand that the human world is precisely a realm of mutual opposition and accumulated toxins, built up over lifetimes and years. So when, in which year, or in which lifetime, will you be able to return to the Limitless Heavenly Principle?
It is indeed quite difficult! Truly challenging! One must genuinely resolve the contradictions and obstacles within one's own existence in order to clear away personal hardships. From the perspective of the human world: within the necessity of survival orientation, contradictions inherently exist. As for how to resolve them, we shall find out in the next chapter!
Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of life;  
The cycle of renewal and decay is as it should be.
Earth, water, fire, and wind—these four elements  
Are both the confines and the means to transcend them.
The affinity between heaven and earth is truly sublime,  
Illuminating the root of all obstacles.
One can transcend by transforming and dissolving,  
In the food chain, even the minute can stir aversion.
This verse! Let us encourage each other, fellow sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples, to dissolve all your obstacles. Only then can the clarity of truth be attained, which is the right path! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious! The tenth-anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect will be held tomorrow. All preparations must be made early, and any shortcomings should be addressed well in advance!
Observing your recent hardships, they are truly moving to the heart. All the immortal and Buddha teachers have been watching closely: who has been diligent? Who has been idle? And who merely bears the name, claiming to be a student of the Chongxin lineage? All is known! Each of you understands this well in your hearts, and it will serve as the foundation for all future virtuous achievements.
Wuji International  
Bodhisattva Guanyin
Celebrating the Decade of Chongxin Taoist Center  
Guiding International Propagation and Enlightenment
Guanyin Bodhisattva guides the return,  
Welcoming all sentient beings to the Buddha's path.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the True Presiding Master of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue from the Void, has descended to compose the twenty-third chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter elaborates on obstacles and transcendence, helping you understand why the human world requires both food chains and chains of affairs.
How, then, can we achieve a reduction in the food chain? This will certainly lessen the burden on our bodily functions and reduce the accumulation of impurities in our energy bodies. If you carefully reflect on the profound intentions of the True President, you will surely understand that the human world is merely the accumulation of habits—and that these habits can also be changed.
It is precisely through deepening one's understanding of one's "body, mind, and spirit" that one can genuinely enhance and transcend functional efficacy! By providing everyone with the conditions for virtuous causes and favorable circumstances, growth will naturally follow. As we conclude today, let us prepare early for tomorrow's tenth anniversary celebration of the hall. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!

Ancient Buddha of Nanping, Daoji.
The Great Way of the South opens to ferry all beings across;  
A shield of merit naturally forms itself.
The Ancient Buddha Daoji authored the celestial scriptures, where the practical application of experience inherently manifests itself.
第廿四回　 活用經驗
Experience utility through the flexible application of functions.
All knowledge in human life is acquired and developed through the process of living. This accumulation can be drawn upon when encountering future problems, allowing one to apply it in ways that bring genuine benefit. Such accumulation of past life experiences is precisely what is refined and perfected through each successive occurrence and repetition.
Allow yourself to accumulate experience from previous events, transforming it into knowledge. This can then be applied to manifest wisdom in the present or in future situations. However, whether wisdom is truly present depends on the judgment of whether the individual's application of knowledge is appropriate or inappropriate—this distinction provides the basis for what is ultimately achieved.
It is through lived experiences, complemented by the application of worldly wisdom, that fulfillment is achieved. This holds true for all peoples in the human world, regardless of nation, organization, community, or even religion and family. Such experience is accumulated from the knowledge and lessons of the past.
Furthermore, the functional benefits derived from human application are distinguished by how much one benefits personally and by the accumulation of borrowed experiences from others. This allows individuals to reduce many application processes, thereby lessening the need for personal experiential verification. However, within this, distinctions are also made between those who are skillful, those who are unskillful, and ordinary individuals.
The discerning eye can infer the whole from a single clue.
Those with keen perception inevitably view and approach matters differently from the ordinary, surpassing the vision of those lacking such acuity. This quality depends both on one's present application and on karmic connections from past lives. Those with keen perception possess a sharp and distinctive insight, enabling them to comprehend the root of all issues that arise.
All things can be applied freely without discrimination. For the experienced, this is precisely what distinguishes the skilled from the unskilled and the ordinary! It can be understood that there are those in the human world who act only upon command or follow rigidly, unable to be truly flexible.
Furthermore, to understand and comprehend all things is inevitably limited by one's own experiences and knowledge. If one is confined to their own knowledge and experiences, they will be unable to apply a sharp perspective effectively. Coupled with a lack of sustained agile thinking and decisive action, such a person merely follows orders mechanically, acting only on command.
Once again, it is rigid and difficult to apply flexibly to oneself. The knowledge and thorough understanding of things cannot be effectively utilized in this lifetime. The practical use of the body inevitably becomes mechanical, and such individuals, when viewed in the human world, are everywhere. How, then, can one truly elevate their perspective on problems and matters through practical application?
The Functional Benefits of Flexible Application
For a person who is intelligent and kind-hearted, and possesses skillful discernment, the capacity to create blessings and to create karma can be considered quite balanced; that is, it is easy to create blessings, yet also relatively easy to create karma. Such a skillful individual, in responding to all matters and challenges, will exhibit an even greater capacity for action compared to those who lack such skill.
If one can skillfully guide their actions in accordance with right principles and moral norms, it is akin to providing a more favorable stage for them to perform or showcase their professional expertise. However, if such a person does not create negative karma, then in the context of the human world, they are precisely those who have accumulated virtuous merits and good karma from both this life and their previous existence.
By drawing on the experiences and knowledge of predecessors, one can indeed reduce many unnecessary troubles and the process of personal trial and error. But does this necessarily bring true benefit? Not necessarily. However, it can provide practical applications for dealing with any issue or matter. Such individuals, in the context of human society, tend to be more adaptable.
Furthermore, how can one apply these conditions to oneself, rather than being someone who merely follows orders mechanically or is quite rigid? I ask you now, what kind of material are you? You should have a clear understanding of yourself—what kind of material you are—because not everyone can flexibly adapt to the ways of the world.
Application and Transmission of Experience
Such individuals, though relatively rare, are indeed numerous. Drawing upon the wisdom and experience passed down by their predecessors, they diligently absorb and internalize these lessons to refine themselves, thereby reaping genuine benefits. Through the flexible application of accumulated experience and knowledge, they further cultivate their own growth in subsequent endeavors, continually perfecting themselves.
The distinction lies between those with keen eyesight, those without, and the average. This accumulation of experience in one's own application can clearly provide considerable expertise for the next occasion. However, it requires substantial learning effort in the present moment to accumulate such experience, which can then be applied for its function and benefit in the future.
If it can be applied again next time with good results, then based on the experience and knowledge from the previous instance, one will be able to achieve goals smoothly time and again. This principle holds true in the human world regardless of the matter at hand—it is always the same! The fruits are reaped from one's own efforts, and responsibility for any matter lies with oneself.
It is about perfecting oneself through previous or current knowledge and experience, yet it is not guaranteed that every attempt will lead to achievement or success. There are also many unpredictable and uncontrollable issues that may arise, which cannot be foreseen in advance. This further highlights how problems are constantly changing and elusive.
The Utility of All Experience
If one could predict outcomes on their own, it would certainly bring about capabilities and benefits within their grasp. However, the greatest fear lies in the inability to maintain steadfast determination and sustain the perseverance needed to carry through all matters and affairs, especially when drawing from past personal experiences or those of predecessors. At times, applying such lessons may not proceed as smoothly as expected.
It also varies across different times, spaces, causes, and conditions. Even a slight deviation in a small link can significantly impact future outcomes, sometimes leading to vast differences. Moreover, by drawing upon the experiences of predecessors and reflecting on one’s own, one gains the opportunity to apply these lessons in future circumstances, thereby enhancing clarity in understanding all matters and events.
Within this, distinctions can be made between those skilled in discerning forms and those who are not, which also applies to the handling of all matters and affairs. What level of achievement and accumulation is attained constitutes the true nature of reality! As for the emergence of all problems, how can one truly benefit oneself?
Applying experience flexibly, flexibly applying experience.
Rather than, time and again, in each instance merely focusing on the matters of the present day—forever remaining in a state of learning yet never truly attaining mastery over things—one must instead apply oneself, making use of all practical functions and benefits, or through other functions and benefits, enable oneself to act with flexibility and effectiveness.
Furthermore, these two aspects are such that one can lead to achievement, while the other can fulfill oneself. On the surface, they may appear similar, but in reality, they are different. In dealing with all matters and problems, one can flexibly apply accumulated experience, and use that experience to enrich knowledge comprehensively, thereby creating genuine opportunities for self-benefit.
Only by being truthful to oneself can one achieve success through learning. In all affairs of the human world, every problem that arises or develops must be overcome and transcended by oneself. Only in this way can one apply both the "practical use of experience" and the "experience of practical use," ultimately gaining these insights through one's own efforts.
Obstacles are surpassed by oneself;  
Wherein lie the problems and difficulties?
Those with sharp eyes find tasks easier, while those with dull eyes trouble themselves.
Experience and knowledge accumulate step by step, each footprint marking an achievement.
Our predecessors laid their own foundations,  
achieving perfection and fulfillment as they wished.
This offers you a genuine opportunity for benefit. Do you understand what kind of material you are, under what conditions, and through what causes and conditions you have come to be? The truth is revealed through each individual’s own efforts. As for the tenth-anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect, this humble monk participated in its entirety. I am truly moved by the diligence and hard work of all the virtuous students, and I may add some blessings, merits, and fruits. Bring the fresh fruits on the table here to be blessed and bestowed upon everyone. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Immortal Maiden of the Limitless Principle and Law
The Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji arrives, bestowing many celestial fruits upon all.
The Immortal Maiden of the Limitless Principle ascends,  
Gathering with the assembly of virtuous sages in orderly array.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji has descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." He elucidates the original intent of applying experience flexibly and flexibly applying experience, offering it to all for wise application, distinguishing between those with keen perception and those without.
The differences are indeed quite significant, which is inevitably true for all matters and affairs, whether it be business, family, career, faith, or even "enlightening the mind, seeing one's nature, and attaining awakening and realization." Those with keen perception may find it easier to comprehend and absorb, but for those lacking such insight, it is like pounding a hammer—what can one do?
For the general public, it is a matter of little consequence—something that may or may not be present. With firm determination and diligent effort, one can achieve the goal. In light of this year's tenth-anniversary temple celebration, it can be said that through the concerted efforts of all virtuous students in every activity, we have progressed from mere learning to truly embracing the essence. However, there remain many shortcomings that still require improvement.
As the Patriarch said, "Gain through learning, accumulate through the next experience." Therefore, when you face the next trial, the right path is to improve upon these shortcomings! There is no need to harshly blame yourselves for these flaws. Through reflection and improvement, greater achievements can be made! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

Religious beliefs can be put to good use.
What mindset and approach do devoted human beings adopt towards the religions they believe in and take refuge in? In the human world, this is accumulated through the experiences of human existence, forming distinctions between what can be applied flexibly and what cannot. It is essential to understand that the flexible application of all experiences is differentiated by those with discerning vision and those without.
Experience arises from the integration of firsthand engagement with holistic matters, as well as from the process of learning and growth, which leads to the genuine application of perspectives on issues. It also necessarily involves distinguishing between what proves beneficial and what does not after such application. It is precisely this that is solidified by religion, serving as a guiding principle for future preachers and believers.
It can be said that by relying on the classics, one can understand the accumulated efforts of the immortals, Buddhas, and predecessors. The key distinction lies in integrating the recitation and application of the classics. It is essential to recognize that the classics are compilations by the immortals, Buddhas, and predecessors, further crystallized through the oral teachings and life practices transmitted by the immortals and Buddhas.
It is essential to draw upon the personal experiences of immortals, Buddhas, or predecessors, synthesizing the essence of these firsthand insights for dissemination and inheritance. This provides models and examples for future learners. This principle reflects the fundamental spirit of every religion, serving as a source of benefit for the growth of later generations and fostering virtuous progress and transcendence.
Only by applying the classics can one benefit oneself.
It is the right path to integrate and disseminate the fundamental spiritual essence derived from religious scriptures. This approach addresses the fact that the scriptures themselves do not inherently contain any judgments of right or wrong; they are merely passed down as part of educational and cultural curricula. By focusing on the faith, spiritual foundations, and the enduring transmission of religion, it distinguishes whether a religion can be perpetuated in the long term.
Moreover, for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, who are familiar with the written language, it can be said that the transmission of spiritual education knows no bounds. However, the classics of the Central Plains are all written in classical Chinese, making them difficult to pass down in vernacular language. This raises the question: to what extent do people today understand classical Chinese, and how much of it is truly grasped on an individual level?
The distinction between "classical Chinese" and "vernacular Chinese" in the Central Plains is also a reflection of individual comprehension based on their own knowledge and wisdom, as well as the differentiation between those with keen insight and those without. Under such conditions, the reliance on religious faith lies precisely in the application passed down through "classics and mantras."
It also lies in the perspective of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism: in the past, classical Chinese was used for writing across all times and spaces, yet each individual's understanding differed. Therefore, in the future, as each person's awareness and connections become even more varied, it will give rise to questions: What kind of realization do I have? At what level? In what state? Under what conditions?
Religious scriptures can benefit all sentient beings.
In this context, after one enters a religion, it is often the combination of personal habits, ingrained tendencies, inherent nature, and one's own flawed character that is mistaken for entering religious faith. If one's engagement with religion is limited to this, they can only be called a believer, but cannot be considered a true practitioner. Such conditions and circumstances, when observed in all religions today, are found everywhere!
Furthermore, when it comes to religious scriptures, it is often difficult to comprehend where the profound essence lies. It is also said that those who practice religion find it truly challenging to achieve ascension and transcendence; they may only have another opportunity in the next life to enter religion and be called practitioners, but in reality, they are merely religious believers. For immortals and Buddhas, such a situation is truly beyond help!
In the next life or in this one, after entering religion, one should then hope to truly cultivate and practice, thereby enabling oneself to transcend and ascend—this is what is called just and selfless. It is essential to understand that the scriptures are passed down by immortals, Buddhas, and predecessors, with all accumulated experiences handed down to later generations for learning and emulation.
Upon entering a religion, to engage in genuine cultivation and practice—this is what the immortals and Buddhas offer to all students who have stepped into the realm of religion. It is a heavenly opportunity and favorable condition for true cultivation and practice. If one cannot even understand oneself, what then is the purpose of the doctrines and teachings of religious faith? It becomes difficult to achieve the practical application of religious belief.
Flexible Application of Classics Without Constraints
Furthermore, there are many people who, even when given a single command or action, are unable to grasp and apply the classics flexibly. They fundamentally fail to comprehend the profound meanings contained within the classics. Although these works represent the essence gathered by immortals, buddhas, and predecessors, in terms of spirit, it is essential that future generations of cultivators in the world to come can truly apply them.
Rather, it is not merely about what is deemed a classic under the circumstances of its time and place—such works are bound to be discarded and abandoned in the future, rendering the accumulated experiences and knowledge of immortals, buddhas, and predecessors utterly wasted! Viewed from the perspective of the present era, it can be said that such classics are far, far too numerous!
Moreover, how can we build upon the accumulated experiences of sages, buddhas, and predecessors without letting them go to waste? If, through repeated revisions and alterations across generations, the original essence of the classics is lost, it becomes impossible to grasp the profound meaning within the texts. This prevents us from applying the wisdom in practice, leaving us merely circling within the confines of the classics.
Regarding the origins of the classics themselves, there exists a rather harsh reality. In today's world, when it comes to applying the classics in practice, it is essential to understand the fundamental original meaning contained within them. What are the conditions under which one applies them? If one merely clings rigidly to the classics and claims to practice them, what can even a religious believer truly achieve?
Throughout one's life, entering into religion is a path of learning and growth.
Nor can one transcend life and death in a single lifetime—how cruel and helpless that would be! For those who genuinely practice religious cultivation, it is truly difficult to fully comprehend the profound depths of its teachings. Only by thoroughly understanding the meanings and mysteries within the scriptures can one apply them flexibly, rather than allowing the scriptures to rigidify one's own thoughts and perspectives.
It is quite challenging to establish a system of thought that elevates oneself. After entering a religious path, one originally hopes to become a genuine practitioner, yet is constrained by differences in personal knowledge, experience, and realizations. This prevents one from rising and transcending. For such so-called genuine practitioners, the gap in knowledge and wisdom is far too vast.
Alas! It is only in the next lifetime that one will truly enter religious practice and be called a cultivator or religious believer! One must understand that the scriptures are precisely meant to guide one's own way of life, enabling genuine elevation of the three aspects—body, mind, and spirit—by cultivating all fundamental capacities, thereby allowing oneself to truly enter and abide by religious faith.
It is precisely due to the virtuous causes and conditions cultivated in past lives that one possesses the circumstances in this lifetime, granting oneself the opportunity to enter the path of religious faith for spiritual elevation. This is what is called joining the ranks of genuine cultivation and practice. For those who have entered religious faith, it depends on how they rely on the scriptures of their chosen religion. Only then can they discern the true nature of all religions in the world today.
Applying the classics skillfully yields beneficial effects.
Why is it that the vernacular texts adopted by Western nations are also more accessible to ordinary people, allowing them to easily internalize and comprehend? This is because in the religions of God and Christ, vernacular language is employed, making it readily understandable even to those without a literary foundation.
One must first understand what the profound meaning and spirit of the classics truly are. If, after adding annotations to the classics, differences arise due to each individual's varying levels of comprehension, distinct understandings will emerge. As for whether one can apply the classics flexibly, it is essential to consider how the text itself should be interpreted, as well as how deeply one grasps the essence of the "classical language."
However, in the past decade, the divine realm has also undergone changes. In response to the differences of the classical "literary language" of the past, the "vernacular language" has been adopted for annotation. Through the boundless compassion and grace of the divine realm and the enlightened beings, both the general populace of the present and future generations of sentient beings can truly comprehend where the profound essence and spirit lie.
This is also why the classics of the Western world, when rendered in vernacular language, allow ordinary believers to easily grasp their profound truths. For all those in the human world who enter religious faith, it also lies in the condition of "literary attainment" and the role of learning—how to embody and realize the functional efficacy contained within the classics.
Practical Benefits of Applying the Classics
Moreover, such conditions and circumstances are truly as they are; otherwise, the literary attainments of future human beings will fall short of those of the present and the past. If classical Chinese language continues to be used today, it will be difficult to guide the broader population of future humanity toward salvation. Only those with a stronger literary foundation and devout believers may benefit from it.
As for the other sentient beings and Buddha's disciples, none can comprehend the essence and spirit of the hall. If we "borrow" over two million high-tech talents from other galaxies, more than half lack a foundation in literary cultivation. If you continue to use "classical Chinese" for the scriptures, I fear that in the future, genuine practitioners may abandon and disdain them!
This was not the original intention of Heaven. As for "borrowing" these high-tech talents from extraterrestrial civilizations, they do not use the "classical script" of Earth, nor do they possess any literary foundation. Moreover, you have grown and learned in such a temporal and spatial environment. Through these circumstances, you may come to understand that after entering religion, you will surely ascend and progress.
However, for the sake of future sentient beings, there will be functions of "borrowing talents" from various star systems. Numerous original spiritual Buddhas will descend into the space of the Earthly Nebula, providing all benefits of 'research, invention, creation, transformation, refinement, evolution, growth, and transcendence'—benefiting both themselves and sentient human beings.
To skillfully employ the legacy of experience;  
From the classics, practical wisdom arises on its own.
Act with skillful means in all endeavors, and success is assured by living in the present moment.
Classical texts form the foundation; without them, the future remains obscure.
Half need not these ornate words,  
Plain speech truthfully surpasses the expected time.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement. It aims to dissect the fundamental intent and conditions of Heaven, making it easier for everyone to comprehend. What are its content and essence? What are its profound mysteries? How can one embody and verify them? This is a truthful distinction between what truly benefits oneself and what does not!
If one can comprehend, that is true wisdom; if one cannot, what does it matter to hold an attitude of indifference? Nor should one merely claim the title of a practitioner in name only. Whether one is truly cultivating and practicing will reveal one's inherent qualities and conditions, and show how to progress, elevate, and transcend!
Celebrating a Decade of the Chongxin Lineage Hall, it is truly commendable that all virtuous students have united their hearts and efforts in solidarity! May this experience serve as a legacy for the future, distinguishing those with discerning vision from those without. It is my hope that each of you will be among the discerning. Thank you for your hard work, and may all be auspicious. Farewell!
The Immortal Maiden Who Transmits the Dao from the Wuji
The Supreme Ultimate decrees the Dao's purpose,  
Thus transmitting the Way to enlighten and guide all beings.
The Immortal Maiden is on duty today,  
Together we speak of the virtuous student who comes to seek kinship.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the Grand Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namo Burning Lamp, has descended to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." He employs the classics to analyze the causes and conditions, urging everyone not to merely cling to the texts and call themselves cultivators. Instead, one should comprehend all the profound mysteries and spirit within the classics.
It means that for those of you who truly cultivate and practice, you can receive and integrate the teachings. Through repeated immersion and verification in each round of practice, you will enter a state where you can achieve and transcend great causes and conditions. It is hoped that all students of the Chongxin lineage will be like this, rather than merely registering a name or claiming a title as practitioners.
In the future, all have returned, yet you still wander in the human world. What do you say to that? How do you feel? Will you claim that immortals and buddhas lack compassion, when in truth it is simply your own lack of effort? To achieve great causes for yourself, it is precisely about seizing the present moment—accomplishing in the present, learning in the present, accumulating in the present—for it is all connected to the future!

第廿六回　 受益無窮
The grace of Heaven benefits all of humanity.
Applying the classics to practical use allows one to draw endless benefits from experience and wisdom in all aspects of life—be it faith, family, business, or any other endeavor. Moreover, by understanding that the human world is a dynamic and vibrant realm, one can navigate the process of nurturing life's conditions, thereby enriching one's present existence.
It does not become monotonous or rigidly conservative. Moreover, from the perspective of a practitioner under such conditions and circumstances, it should not have a significant effect. If one observes the skillful use of the eyes and colors by those adept at it and applies it flexibly to oneself, it can be truly utilized in daily life or in the process of faith and practice, thereby making effective use of it in the dynamic world of humanity.
This is precisely how one can exist in the human world without being constrained by obstacles, thereby enabling oneself to reap endless benefits! From the perspective of entering the process of religious cultivation, all actions rooted in faith must be understood in their entirety—whether they are merely part of one's personal life and faith or constitute the path of cultivation itself.
One may engage in cultivation merely for the sake of cultivation itself. Such an approach fundamentally struggles to genuinely elevate the energy body one creates and fosters. It is essential to become a joyful practitioner within the human realm, capable of understanding that this world is built upon the accumulation of repeated experiences and the continuous utilization of all cyclical spaces.
Experience regenerates to benefit the world of humanity.
If you do not reuse such experiences as lessons for growth, you are bound to stumble and face setbacks! If you apply experience, wisdom, and knowledge to your own survival or religious practices, will there be obstacles that prevent you from progressing and make it difficult for you to grow after entering into religion?
From the perspective of practitioners, such conditions often fail to provide a truly joyful space for cultivation. Most people assume that engaging in religious practice must be rigid and formal, yet this is not necessarily the case. Take, for example, the cultivation method of the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji—Li Xiuyuan, whose path to enlightenment was manifested within the human realm.
That is not to say that by bestowing upon later generations of students the cultivation of the self, there would emerge a dynamic approach to practice, one still grounded in the precepts as its foundation. Moreover, to repeatedly transcend even the disciplines of cultivation—under heaven and earth, only the Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji has achieved this. All others find it difficult to manifest such a lively and flexible way of spiritual practice for themselves.
It is precisely by applying wisdom to one's own experiences and to the scriptures that one becomes a joyful practitioner—alive and awakened! This arises from having accumulated great and favorable causes and conditions, which bless one’s own being. Whether in the human world or after entering a religious path, one can thus become a joyful practitioner.
Benefiting humanity, space serves as a catalyst for growth.
However, in general, they tend to be rigid and formulaic, making it difficult to apply them flexibly in the process of cultivation and adaptation. Yet, most people simply follow orders mechanically, unaware that all religious scriptures and experiences in the human world are precisely meant to provide a flexible framework and foundational structure for navigating life's journey.
This is also true for ordinary religious practitioners: one command, one action, and even a rigid adherence to rules make it difficult to apply teachings with flexibility. Practitioners often face the dilemma of how to proceed when the next command or action is unclear. In the general framework of precepts and regulations, what else can one do but follow them?
If one is too unrestrained, they may face criticism and censure from other practitioners, and may even be seen as having deviated from the foundation of precepts, thus no longer qualifying as a practitioner. From the perspective of the Confucian sage tradition, such practitioners who stray from discipline can no longer be integrated into the Confucian system.
This is another reason why ordinary practitioners often become rigid and inflexible, making it difficult for them to practice with vitality and adaptability. How, then, can there be truly joyful practitioners? It is essential to understand what can and cannot be transcended within the precepts and disciplinary codes. This is especially important for the future sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, particularly regarding the "borrowing of talents"—high-tech experts from outer space.
Endless Benefits from Favorable Conditions
When it comes to religious precepts imposed upon the body, I fear that every individual falls short; particularly for these over two million "borrowed" scientific and technological talents, who throughout their cultivation have never been instilled with such concepts, disciplines, or codes of conduct. How then can they be expected to adhere to regulations on how to act, and what can be done about it?
If it is possible to impose constraints, what about all the precepts and disciplinary codes? This is necessary! Only by being a joyful practitioner without straying from the guidelines of cultivation within the human world can one truly engage in endless: research, invention, and creation, while also faithfully adhering to the precepts and disciplinary codes as guiding principles.
In opening this expedient Dharma gate to Heaven, the opportunity is created through the mutual fulfillment of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. By entering this system of religious thought and belief, one becomes less confined and constrained by precepts and commandments. This is intended for future high-tech talents who seek religious faith.
Thus, they can mutually complement and achieve completion. Only through the integration of all faiths in heaven and earth can the manifestation in the human world within the great cosmos be realized. This precisely helps to reduce many unnecessary precepts and disciplines. If we consider the precepts of Confucianism, Daoism, Christianity, and Islam, they are relatively fewer than the precepts and disciplines of Buddhism, which are bound by specific conditions of causality.
Endless blessings and benefits to the world of humanity.
Is it truly authentic, allowing these talents to reduce the constraints of faith? This is the basis for making adjustments within the conditions of boundless benefit! That is, without poverty, and even with abundance, after you enter the religion, the general practitioner will, through Buddhist cultivation, believe that the present still draws upon the practices of various sects and lineages.
Regarding the ascetic practices of Zen and Pure Land Buddhism, in truth, if one were to adopt other Buddhist cultivation methods to fulfill the spiritual needs of sentient beings and disciples in the present moment, there are indeed many, many ways to truly practice in a manner that leads to abundance. Taking the Chongxin lineage as an example: if one were to still engage in ascetic practices, I wonder if you would desire it? (Answer: No!)
Too clever indeed, the lineage of the Chongxin Sect is just like this—they do not cultivate the path of poverty and hardship, but instead cultivate the true path of abundance. It is essential to understand that without knowing this method of cultivation regarding "the abundance of experience, the abundance of wisdom, the abundance of virtue, the abundance of blessings, and the abundance of wealth," can you truly accept it?
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect has, from the establishment of its hall to the present day, always been structured around the path of abundance as its foundational inheritance. This approach has allowed you to reduce many unnecessary precepts and prohibitions, particularly within the Confucian-influenced Luanmen system. It is essential, however, that this does not hinder mutual support and synergy with other religions, such as Christianity, Islam, Taoism, and Buddhism.
Research and Invention Through Borrowing and Application
I fear that in the future, it may become entirely impossible to repatriate and assemble over 420 million high-tech talents. You are merely "exhausting one lifetime without reaching the span of a hundred generations." Moreover, the effort expended in a single lifetime may yield the leisure of a hundred generations. How subtle and profound is this genuine process of realization and attainment.
All of this is for the sake of deeply cultivating your eighth consciousness, enabling it to ascend and transcend within the great cause and condition. This process can truly allow your spirit to shed many, many layers of defiled and impure consciousness, purifying and calming the mind through contemplation. Only in this way can genuine elevation be achieved. In this lifetime of practice, you may thus enter the foundation of the "Buddha-nature," the true reality of suchness.
What is bestowed upon you shall bring true and boundless benefit! This is indeed the fundamental will and structure of the Divine in the present moment. It is also essential to understand the deliverance and propagation of the White Yang Third Period. If one fails to realize this in cultivation, one may still become a joyful practitioner, yet remain confined to the ways of practice from times past.
Even though it has long been outdated and no longer aligns with the divine principles and framework, it is precisely this that can elevate the creation of civilization and technology, bestowing endless blessings upon future generations. By descending into the human world, it truly enables humanity to achieve the status of a developed planet.
Benefiting countless sentient beings with compassion.
This is precisely the great blessing that the Supreme Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven, the Exalted High Emperor of Mysterious Numen, has repeatedly bestowed upon the Earthly Nether Star since ascending the throne. You may carefully reflect: whether in the recent century or so, due to the convergence of time and conditions, the technological civilization of the Earthly Nether Star has advanced a thousand miles in a single day, or even ten thousand miles in a day, is indeed a great blessing for you all.
There will be endless creation and invention, enabling you to truly enjoy the elevation of well-being. It is essential to understand that, five hundred years hence, all religions will merge into one, with no distinctions remaining among them. At that time, it can be said that within the vast cosmos, there will be a golden age of the essence of religion.
This is also a question for you: in the future, will you continue to cycle through reincarnation, or have you already transcended and ascended to the Great Void or the Wuji Celestial Realm to wander freely? When you look back at all the creations and developments on Earth and the stars, how will you feel then? Each person’s experience will differ. Those who find it wonderful must strive diligently in the present moment, to grow, elevate, and transcend.
and will no longer allow oneself to be reborn into the human realm or other realms. Only then, in the next five hundred or a thousand years, can one witness the unfolding of all creations on this underworld star and the flourishing process of future centuries. It is precisely the great virtue and grace of Heaven that will fulfill the sentient primordial spirits and Buddha’s disciples of the underworld star, enabling them to achieve transcendent accomplishments.
The varying conditions of time and space  
Create the merits of future eras.
Leveraging technology for innovation will surely aid in the propagation of religion.
Human fates are decreed by heaven; in changing times, hearts find peace.
Comprehend the great virtue and grace of Heaven,  
With compassion, nurture the kinship of the five teachings.
This verse! May all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children encourage one another. It foretells the process of creating future technological civilization for you all, enabling everyone to truly benefit endlessly from the future. With such genuinely auspicious conditions and favorable causes, may you achieve virtuous growth, transcendence, and upward progress. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
Wuji Shanyuan Immortal Maiden
The Realm of Wuji descends from the heavens,  
Carrying the virtuous and fulfilled on a heavenly voyage.
The Immortal Maiden takes her turn in duty today,  
While the great Dao of Heaven and Earth arranges the celestial texts.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation academicians of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of "The Great Tao Heaven and Earth," the Grand Master of our lineage—the Ancient Buddha Namas Dipankara—has descended to compose the twenty-sixth chapter of "The Great Tao Heaven and Earth." This chapter analyzes the causes and conditions that bring boundless benefits, offering everyone the opportunity to cultivate wholesome and favorable karma.
Through your future faith, many limitations and obstacles can be reduced, providing these talents who will be "borrowed" in the future with the opportunity to establish a solid foundation in religious belief, which is the true essence. It is also due to this divine opportunity and good affinity that you will be able to enter the Earthly Star in the 21st century and enjoy a favorable and good existence.
Furthermore, it can bestow upon oneself and future generations genuine and boundless benefits! Thus, there will be no poverty to trouble you, nor will you be allowed to suffer hardships and calamities. Only then can one truly become a joyful practitioner. Such extraordinary conditions and causes are precisely the great virtues and blessings bestowed by Heaven, serving as a vehicle for transcendence.

第廿七回　  循環演化
The Mystery of the Functional Cycle of Heaven and Earth
All living beings across the vast universe can benefit endlessly, understanding that the world of human life is nurtured within the Earth Star. Therefore, in their present existence, they are bound to reap infinite benefits for themselves. Moreover, this provides abundant resources and sustenance, which in turn leads to greater elevation and fulfillment for the Earth Star.
It is essential to understand that the world of human existence is a process of mutual and cyclical creation. Moreover, regarding the virtues and blessings of evolution, for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the human world, what is the fundamental cause that enables the elevation of the "inner heart, spirituality, and physical body" these three aspects? One must be able to comprehend the interdependent and cyclical actions.
It is essential to understand, through the cyclical processes of heaven and earth, that in order to achieve growth and learning in the human world, sentient beings must be guided to comprehend what conditions, principles, and disciplines they should adopt for their practice, as well as how to rely on these for elevation within the human realm.
It is precisely through this mutual cycle, in the interactions of each year, month, day, and hour, that creation and virtue are achieved time and again. Moreover, the human world can learn and grow with each repetition, as every human being, throughout their lifetime, summarizes all actions—everything thought, done, and accomplished.
Cyclic evolution occurs every day.
Through the process of learning and growth, one applies knowledge and experience, accumulating the benefits of wisdom. This enables further mutual achievement in all applications, allowing oneself to truly benefit. Such benefit is precisely the condition accumulated from results and the application of all realized outcomes.
Furthermore, it can be clearly understood that in the human world, within the realm of Earthly Stars: the cyclical process of each year, month, and day—whether today passes and tomorrow returns again, or after one month, it reverses in successive turns and repetitions—this mutual cycle can be described as: after today there is still tomorrow, and after tomorrow there is still the day after.
They too will arrive the day after tomorrow, for there will always be tomorrow and the day after. A month passes, and the next month returns again; a year passes, and the following year comes once more. This cyclical principle of heaven can help us understand the human world: it is ceaselessly advancing forward, forever engaged in a mutually revolving motion.
Spring passes and summer arrives; summer passes and autumn arrives; autumn passes and winter arrives again; winter passes and next spring returns once more. This lies in the fact that days, months, and years repeat in cycles, and all causes and effects also circulate interdependently. Why, then, is the human world unable to ascend?
The cycles of heaven and earth give rise to all living beings.
That is to say, in this life and the next, all beings in the cycle of existence, every original spirit and Buddha-child in the sentient world, believe there will always be another chance, another life to come again. It is precisely this mindset, this notion, that prevents them from achieving true self-understanding. In the human world, there exists a kind of ostrich mentality—a tendency to muddle through, avoiding reality.
Therefore, after today, tomorrow can still be used; after tomorrow, the day after can be used again. This kind of time and space, this endless flow of time and light, makes it difficult for one to elevate oneself. Instead, time and again, one falls into the ostrich mentality, turning into a "muddle along" attitude, making it exceedingly hard to resolve to transform oneself.
Therefore, the next life remains something to be awaited, and as one enters the vortex of the cycle once more, starting anew again and again, under such conditions, I wonder if you would still desire it? Moreover, there is a continuous drive to innovate, create, and renew. It is essential to understand that on the planet of Di Ming, even if you cannot perceive the force of its rotation.
However, in truth, it is also advancing ceaselessly at every moment and in every instant. Yet, you have been within the spacetime of Diming Star for too long, and thus fail to perceive that Diming Star is precisely an eternal, unceasing creation and progression forward, as well as an unending rotation and revolution. It exists in relation to every spacetime and every cause and condition.
All things partake in the process of evolution.
And it has facilitated the creation and evolution arising from every temporal and spatial condition, which is also ceaseless. Moreover, on the Earthly Nether Star, according to contemporary science, it is the laws of rotation and revolution that perpetually engage the solar and lunar systems in mutual cycles and checks and balances. This further manifests as forces of suspension, equilibrium, and tension.
The planet of Earthly Darkness serves as the foundation upon which all sentient beings and Buddhist disciples within the vast cosmos rely for survival and direction. It necessitates a framework for human existence, positioning itself through the sun, moon, stars, and celestial bodies. Furthermore, toward the planet of Earthly Darkness, there exist interconnected regulations and evolutions, providing humanity with a system to measure and calculate all aspects of time and space according to the sun and moon.
It can be understood that all conditions occurring in any given year, month, day, or hour are shaped by the computational formulas of the Earthly Obscurity Star. Through this, one may comprehend how all events and circumstances happening in any year, month, day, or hour are part of the entire creative and evolutionary process of the human world.
This is to help you understand that the world of humanity is precisely a calculable formula. This model never ceases and will forever remain within the Earthly Star. It brings greater blessings and creativity to the human world, and is structured around all living beings of the Earthly Star, participating in every process of evolution.
The Conditions for the Function of Sublime Evolution
Moreover, it takes all living beings in the vast universe as the foundation for evolution, and repeatedly provides the driving force and conditions for the transformation and elevation of the human world. Since ancient times, all life on Earth has regarded humanity as the most spiritual of all beings, fostering the development of technological civilization, which in turn benefits all sentient creatures in the world.
It is precisely because humans, as the most intelligent of all beings, possess the ability to document with written language and can clearly trace back to the year, month, day, and hour of every occurrence, that they are able to comprehensively understand the world of human affairs. Moreover, they can systematically deduce and elevate themselves through evolution, transcending beyond.
It addresses the functional role of evolutionary progress, and for all living beings involved in evolution, all are subject to such principles, leading to greater evolutionary actions. From ancient times to the present, the human world has already undergone evolution dozens of times. However, in terms of the causes and conditions developed by the vast universe, it is actually far more than just this.
Furthermore, from the very first cosmic cycle to the second, all processes of evolution and creation involved are set to repeat in mutual cycles. Each time, for you, the same tasks and missions are undertaken anew. Under such conditions, the human world is granted, through the entire evolutionary course of the great cosmos, the act of creating immense virtue and grace.
The grace of Heaven extends to all living beings.
In the fundamental framework of the heavens, let us reflect further. From your birth until now, have you witnessed any major calamities? Hardly! This is because you are situated within relatively smooth and favorable conditions for creation. If we consider the overall evolutionary process of the Earthly Star, it is indeed true that you are currently in a time and space endowed with the karmic conditions for creating happiness.
There have been very few major disasters that have caused significant harm to your survival. This is because the 21st century marks the beginning of the evolution and advancement of the descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors in the Central Plains, as they interpret and create the future technological civilization. You are also the most fortunate to enter the space of the Earthly Nether Star, where you can live in comfort and security.
Considering the past major calamities on Earth from the perspective of the human world, one can understand why there have been few major disasters in the last millennium, aside from certain significant natural disasters and numerous human-induced calamities. It can be said that the heavens have shown remarkable care and meticulous attention to Earth.
It will continuously postpone and dissipate the disasters that would have originally occurred. Moreover, you are currently in a fortunate period of karma, where it is precisely through changing and reforming the damages caused by human factors, and elevating them, that the ninety-six primordial spirits can return. Furthermore, it enables the four hundred million Buddha's disciples to achieve elevation and transcendence.
A sublime cause surpasses all past deeds;  
The cycle of evolution must be clearly understood.
The human world is but a borrowed abode,  
Not the eternal root of our destiny.
Attaining Buddhahood depends on oneself;  
A lifetime of hardship brings benefit for a thousand years.
Returning to transcendence, as expected in due time,
Expounding virtue and grace upon the foundation of the heavens.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples. It also serves to elevate together the evolutionary cycles of the Earthly Nether Star, in the hope that you may, within this lifetime, achieve your own and all original spirits’ return—this is the true path! Thank you all for your hard work and for spending this time with the Chongxin lineage. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Immortal Maiden of Boundless Virtue
The cause and condition of the Wuji have long since given rise to life,  
Fulfilling virtue, fulfilling merit, fulfilling blessings are presented.
Today the Immortal Maiden takes her turn on duty,
Together with the virtuous students, all shall be accomplished.
Good evening to all the saints, sages, fellow students, and the spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of the "Great Dao Heaven and Earth" series, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of "Great Dao Heaven and Earth." This chapter will analyze the process of cyclic evolution, providing a clear and genuine understanding for all of you in the human world on how to progress and elevate yourselves.
On the star of Earthly Darkness, there exists a cycle of mutual evolution and creation. Whether you will return again in the next cycle or the next life depends entirely on your own choices—this is the true path. Moreover, in these years of yours, there has indeed been an accumulation of learning capabilities, and each cycle, each return, has borne its own fruit.
This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity cannot be achieved overnight. It is deeply moving to witness your diligent support and protection, and to see your elevation within the virtuous grace of the Great Dao's propagation. It is hoped that you will gain a clearer understanding of the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series; otherwise, coming and going in cycles, the next opportunity may not necessarily lead to ascension and transcendence—such is the consequence of one's own choices.
It is essential to understand that if one departs from the Chongxin lineage, what kind of divine opportunities and favorable conditions could serve as a vehicle to transcend? Can one truly purify and elevate one's eighth consciousness? That is to say, one must come to know what kind of resources and materials one possesses! Only then can one genuinely ascend and grow upward, returning to transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

Limitless Primordial Lady, Immortal Ma Gu
The Deputy Seat of Magu descends in auspicious display,  
The Dadao series unfolds its grand epoch.
The Twenty-eighth Turn of the Great Dao between Heaven and Earth  
Guiding Sentient Beings to Return and Unite
第廿八回　 大道天地
The great Dao bestows its grace upon all beings between heaven and earth.
Through the cycles of evolution, one can comprehend the vast universe and earth. For all original spirit Buddhas and disciples to elevate, it is precisely about descending the great virtues and blessings of heaven and earth, while also uplifting the human world. This is not merely about the integration of the "body, self-mind, and spirituality" alone, but also about ascending and enhancing further.
It is essential to genuinely dedicate oneself to one's efforts, for only then can one reap abundant rewards and benefits. This will enable all ways of life on the Earthly Star to ascend upward rather than sink into decline. It also serves as a true opportunity for all Buddhist disciples on the Earthly Star to return to and transcend the profound grace bestowed by Heaven. Whether this opportunity can be cherished depends on them.
However, within the Earthly Star of Darkness, individuals often fail to follow the original intent of Heaven. Instead, they frequently rely on their own thoughts and concepts for elevation, which ultimately prevents them from achieving true transcendence. Consequently, they remain trapped in a cycle of stagnation, unable to rise upward, and continue to sink into the depths of the Earthly Star of Darkness. This is precisely the kind of harm that Heaven does not wish to see.
This is for the sentient beings and disciples of Buddha in the 21st century to elevate and transcend. Within this, what truly grants oneself a direction for existence is whether one can attain clarity and realization of Shangcang’s compassionate grace and virtue, or whether one remains confined solely to the ways of existence within the Earthly Nether Star System, merely adapting to the transformations of human life, and thus repeatedly cycling through reincarnation.
Heaven's virtue and grace extend to all sentient beings.
It is absolutely not the fundamental original intent of Heaven, nor is it the principal framework of Heaven. However, the existence of the Earthly Nether Star System from the First Kalpa and the Second Kalpa up to the present Third Kalpa, through each and every kalpa, has consistently guided and accomplished the transcendence and return of all primordial spirit Buddha-disciples.
However, truly returning to the Transcendent One is indeed rare! It is common for people to rely on the habits of human existence as their foundation for survival. From the perspective of the human world, such conditions and circumstances are understandable and not to be criticized. But from the viewpoint of the Heavenly Sovereign and the multitude of immortals and buddhas, such conduct is unacceptable and should never be practiced.
Thus, the heavens have initiated, for all technological civilizations dependent on survival in the Third Epoch, the capacity to attain their own survival orientations. This will give rise to numerous inventions, creations, and researches, which are elevated from the fundamental essence of humanity, progressing through DNA into RNA, and further into QNA's self-illuminating nature.
It is precisely the fundamental framework that should be established in the third cosmic cycle, which, through the abundant resources bestowed by the heavens, elevates future technological civilization to create greater well-being for generations to come! Through the natural course of action, all original spiritual beings and Buddha's disciples on Earth are granted the opportunity to achieve ascension and transcendence within a single lifetime.
The Function of the Natural Law of the Great Dao
In this process, it is essential to genuinely dissolve all past karmic causes and obstacles, and to undergo the completion of all sacred duties and missions in this present life and existence. Furthermore, through cultivation and transformation, one must refine the actions of this life and existence, thereby enabling oneself to return and transcend.
This is the fundamental mission of this primordial epoch, representing the celestial mandate for all religions in the 21st century to achieve ascension and transcendence. It will also provide abundant resources and sustenance to benefit future generations. The Chongxin lineage, in particular, has been established through the personal decree of the Wuji Huangmu, descending to the human realm.
Granted to the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect Lineage," the works authored regarding the essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are intended to enable these sentient primordial spirits and Buddha-children to directly comprehend the fundamental original intent and principal causes of Heaven, without the need for religious initiation. They also serve to guide the return of over two million "borrowed talents"—high-tech professionals.
Moreover, the return and transcendence of these four hundred million Buddhas will be elevated in accordance with true reality. Furthermore, in the present world, the processes of all religions are guided by the divine, and these processes are interconnected across the past, from the First Epoch and the Second Epoch to the current Third Epoch.
All cosmic cycles collectively shape the evolution of the Earth.
For those with such karmic connections, who return to the Star of Earthly Obscurity, they are given a renewed orientation, offering them ideological perspectives that can be corrected and guided toward virtuous and proper directions. Moreover, these serve to provide, regardless of past distinctions—whether among all accomplished beings or any bygone dynasties—a means of rectification.
It does not distinguish between the innate and the acquired, nor between any monarch, emperor, or all princes and ministers. For those who will once again "Investiture of the Gods" for you, in the 21st century, there will be a reorientation. It is precisely regarding the process of cosmic evolution that we will position and implement the entry into a truly high-tech civilization.
This is the great sacred mission of this era bestowed by Heaven. Within the Chongxin lineage, it aligns precisely with this great sacred mission, holding a pivotal role in the curriculum of propagation and education! Compared to any dynasty of the past, regardless of religion or sect, it can be said that all have long been fragmented. Even those who were once revered as monarchs and emperors in bygone times must undergo transformation and elevation.
as well as all those appointed to the sacred mission of propagating the Great Way under the Mandate of Heaven, to reposition and reevaluate all past connections and relationships, granting them a new orientation. This serves the cyclical function and beneficial efficacy of the Great Way, enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children of the Third Epoch to ascend and progress.
The evolution of heaven and earth involves all living beings in its process.
This is precisely the mission of entering the Great Path of the Heavenly Realm, directly bestowed upon the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect," which also serves as the guiding propagation of the "True Buddha in the Heart." It allows sentient beings and original spirit Buddha disciples to truly enter the path of return and transcendence, rather than remaining as in the past, perpetually confined within the karmic bonds of the Earthly Star.
In response to these circumstances, two opposing forces—one righteous and one malevolent—have emerged concerning the Earthly Abyss Star. Part of these righteous and malevolent energies stems from calamities left behind by successive dynasties, which have remained unresolved to this day. Now, in the Republican era, a redefinition is taking place, offering them the opportunity for genuine return and transcendence.
And no longer lingering in the Earthly Obscure Star, this condition will generate a tug-of-war between righteous and evil forces. However, in the early years of the Republic of China, Providence truly began to improve the Earthly Obscure Star. The entire cycle of evolution and creation aims to diminish this harmful force and reduce the suffering inflicted upon humanity.
Regarding the future of Earth Star, it will have a significant purifying effect. For all that has passed in the 21st century, and throughout the past sixty thousand years, it will rework and improve all negative influences. Many of these are inherited from the imperialist dynasties of the past, which to this day still persist on Earth Star.
The heavens created the world and guided its evolution.
Observing this unfavorable trend, the Primordial Mother of the Infinite issued a sacred decree to the mortal world, seeking true talents of the Great Dao who could "proclaim the teachings of Heaven and embody the way of Heaven." Moreover, these individuals must genuinely receive the personal mandate of the Primordial Mother of the Infinite. Originally, five candidates were selected through screening, yet only the Chongxin Sect, blessed by the sacred decree, was capable of authoring the "Heavenly Texts of the Great Dao Series."
In this process, the Void Heaven Realm dispatched the Void Sage—the Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Humans and Heaven, Namo Void Sage, to descend upon the Earthly Star. At the same time, the Buddha of Luminous Lapis Lazuli, Namo Luminous Mind Buddha (also known as the Celestial Worthy of Luminous Mind in the Void), was also dispatched to descend and work in mutual fulfillment, serving as a responsive manifestation for all human realms.
The aim is to achieve a state where over 420 million sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha can truly establish the "Consciousness-Only" philosophy. Furthermore, as early as in Daoism, the essence of heaven and earth has already descended into the mundane world: the light and pure elements rise to form heaven, while the turbid and condensed elements descend to form earth. This celestial mechanism is thus revealed within the mundane realm.
It is precisely for the sake of enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be in the future world to truly comprehend that in the human realm, the true nature of reality is achieved by transcending the three aspects of "body, mind, and spirit"! The "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are provided to evolve the thoughts and perceptions of all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas-to-be, focusing on the elevation of these three aspects: "the physical body, the inner heart, and the spiritual nature."
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth manifests through education.
Thus, they can converge with one another, at the fundamental source that purifies oneself, and thereby achieve what is created by human factors, which can provide true understanding of why one has long been deeply trapped in all obstacles of the Earthly Star. This evolves into truly offering the celestial ladder for returning to the Heavenly Path, and such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity are exceedingly rare and precious for upward growth.
It is essential that by the third cosmic cycle, one can truly restore the trinity of "body, heart, and spirit" to attain accomplishment. This will bring all worldly technological civilization into a more transcendent, divinely ordained opportunity throughout the millennium from the 21st century to the 30th century and beyond.
Therefore, as all past dynastic monarchs and imperial systems are reborn within the Earthly Nether Star System, regarding these former rulers, emperors, and their related karmic connections, as well as all those who have once undertaken the sacred duties of Heaven, they shall enter the Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect to begin anew. This is to once again propagate the Great Dao from the heart, extending it throughout the vast cosmos.
This is the true and authentic approach to the sacred mission of the Great Dao, which enables all the past endeavors of "restoring antiquity and gathering completion, universal salvation and gathering completion, harmonizing the five teachings and gathering completion, and unifying heaven and earth and gathering completion" to further advance into the stages of return, transcendence, perfection, and riding beyond the heavenly secrets. Starting from the sixth phase of the Chongxin lineage, it is essential to genuinely propagate and guide, to see whether this can be understood.
The celestial bodies of the Earthly and Nether realms perform their evolutions,  
Circling one another in harmonious accord.
The virtue of the Dao nourishes heaven and earth;  
The guidance of the heavens leads to the time of return.
The ancient system of imperial monarchy has returned,
It is essential to understand its redefined role.
To bear heavy responsibilities and great duties, one must reform oneself to return to the heavenly order.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children for mutual encouragement. It applies equally to all ancient imperial systems and to all those who have shouldered great responsibilities in the past. It is essential to understand that one must remain humble and bow low despite being full, so as not to be sifted out and removed in this temporal environment. Otherwise, it becomes difficult to encounter favorable opportunities for virtuous growth.
It is essential to understand the fundamental structure and causality of the divine, which is intended to enable sentient beings with affection to ascend, return, transcend, and achieve ultimate perfection. Today, the writings expounded in the Dadao Tiandi series of celestial texts serve to open your minds, reconstruct your thoughts, and reposition your understanding—this is the nature of truth! May all be auspicious. Farewell!
The True Celestial Venerable of the Limitless Dao
The decree of the boundless cause was issued long ago;  
The descent of the true Dao is no ordinary affair.
The Heavenly Venerable today takes his turn on duty,  
Gathering with all the virtuous to share the burden together.
Good evening to all the saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation fellows of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the Vice-Chairman of our lineage, the Wuji Yuanjun, Immortal Ma Gu, has descended to compose the twenty-eighth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This work brings the virtuous grace of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth into manifestation within the mortal world, and further revises and restores all past dynasties and imperial systems that have not yet returned to their rightful alignment.
Additionally, some of those who have descended with a vow to fulfill the celestial mission are being reoriented. This period also serves as a significant juncture for screening, targeting these sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children, all of whom are the original spirit children of Heaven. Thus, the Wuji Huangmu has long since issued a decree, emphasizing the necessity of reorienting these original spirit children through educational and cultural courses.
It is precisely about reverting with a sincere heart and advancing towards greater growth and learning from within. Moreover, this unfavorable momentum has persisted for nearly thirty thousand years. Therefore, in this primordial cycle and at this juncture of time and karma, it is time to reposition ourselves. It is for this reason that numerous calamities will arise on the present-day Earth.
You are precisely the ones who can comprehend the divine mysteries and auspicious opportunities bestowed by Heaven. This enables you to access firsthand information and clearly understand the entire context. Moreover, it is aimed at allowing sentient beings with sincere hearts to genuinely progress, transcend, and elevate themselves—benefiting both your own selves and all of humanity with genuine goodness and truthfulness! You have all worked hard. Farewell for now!

Celestial Worthy of Void and Literary Grace, the Educator
Teaching through emptiness, causes and conditions unfold;  
The grace of words accomplishes the bearing of sentient beings.
Through the guidance of karma, growth is nurtured;  
The Celestial Venerable returns to restore and fulfill the ancient ways.
第廿九回　 復古收圓
The Great Way of Heaven and Earth
It can be understood that all orientations toward survival will influence every aspect of nurturing life and daily activities. Within this, one can comprehend why the human world must rely on the planet Earth for existence. This also includes the monarchical systems of the past, which established regulatory actions. In every dynasty, the rulers under the monarchical system further bestowed virtue and benefits upon future generations.
When examining all dynasties, it can be said that they have protected and cared for the local people. Therefore, both before and after their decline, they committed no major wrongdoings. However, entangled by karmic obstacles, many of them exist in the underworld star. In other realms of existence, many still retain the orientation of monarchical imperial systems for survival.
Although it is no longer possible to return to the past, and the actual monarchical system of the Di Ming Star has been implemented, for those who seek to restore and complete the ancient ways today, it is precisely through the establishment of such functions that they are guided anew, repositioned within the dynastic framework of the monarchical system, and once again reformed, overcoming all past limitations and obstacles that hindered ascension and transcendence!
The Cause and Condition of All That Is Restored to Antiquity
It is for these ancient monarchs, who also achieved great merits in protecting and safeguarding their people; thus, after their passing, the heavens granted them the continuation of all they had in life, allowing them to exist interdependently in another realm. Many of these beings are those who performed meritorious deeds for survival in the past.
It is precisely because the protection and blessings of the people have all contributed merit, and the heavens have granted other realms of existence, that this monarchical imperial system continues to endure. However, for those who have achieved numerous merits, they exist only within the realms of the Imperial Ultimate and the Vast Heaven, finding it exceedingly difficult to transcend and break free from the limitations and obstacles of the Earthly Abyss Star.
It is sustained, with temporal connections spanning tens of thousands of years, several thousand years, or even several hundred years. Yet today, none of these connections can transcend the limitations of the Earthly Dark Star, nor can they break free from the obstacles and confines of the three-dimensional space. Moreover, in the realms of Haotian and Huangji, such processes are far, far too numerous!
Regarding the dependence of the Haotian Imperial Ultimate World, it is precisely because there are many who protect and bless the people in this world, and many who have achieved great merits, that during their lifetimes they did not commit significant evils. Thus, the heavens grant them this: they maintain the temporal and causal connections from their lifetimes under the monarchical system, allowing them to continue to protect and care for the people, or those with whom they once shared such connections.
The Functions and Roles of Reviving the Ancient Way
Furthermore, the deficiency in spiritual transcendence is even more pronounced, presenting a considerable burden in the eyes of the Heavenly Sovereign. Hence, the Celestial Mandate has initiated a comprehensive spiritual transformation in the current era of people's rights, enabling humanity to achieve genuine transcendence and break free from the continuous entanglements of reincarnation, thereby resolving the interdependent karma of the monarchical imperial system.
Therefore, this method of "returning to the ancient ways to gather completion" arises. It determines whether one still possesses abundant blessings, prosperity, and merits to shoulder the weighty responsibilities entrusted by Heaven in the future, or whether one must continue the cycle of rebirth. For the individual, this distinction hinges on whether one's "construct of thought transcends or fails to transcend" in the times to come.
It also lies in one's own retroactive restoration and completion of all monarchies and imperial systems, which is yet another aspect of this! Moreover, it allows monarchies and imperial systems to achieve even greater transcendence, without distinction between all those who have borne the responsibilities and great sacred duties entrusted by Heaven in the past, or the leaders and those virtuous figures such as kings, nobles, generals, and ministers who have undertaken these great missions.
This refers to the reliance on merit, protection, and fulfillment, which enables one to enjoy in future lives the accumulated blessings of past merits and divine favor. Within this, there is a distinction between "restoring antiquity to gather completion" and "universal salvation to gather completion." The difference arises because those who restore antiquity to gather completion are precisely the ones who possess merit and achievements, accumulating the fruits of their karmic causes.
What is the purpose of the Gathering of the Primordial?
Universal salvation and the gathering of all beings refer to the compassionate deliverance of ordinary sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children who lack meritorious deeds or achievements. This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity have, since ancient times, been difficult to manifest within the mundane human world. However, the current era and its conditions have changed, as generations have shifted and entered an age transcended by technological civilization.
Therefore, it is said: to restore the ancient and gather the complete, which refers to those who have achieved considerable merit, and whether they can transcend in the future or, in the next cycle of time and destiny, enter the Earthly Obscurity Star to begin anew, will no longer involve the great destiny of monarchy and imperial rule. In contrast! Most will choose the imperial system.
Yet they can dominate a region, holding the esteemed positions of prime minister or president of the era; they can also be revered as wealthy magnates or merchants. Indeed, in today's times, it can be said that there are far, far too many such talents! You may carefully observe the people around you—those who possess such great compassion and love—and return to the world of humaneness.
It serves as the foundation for reorientation, and for entering the temporal and circumstantial conditions of "restoring antiquity and gathering completion," it precisely allows these ancient meritorious contributors—whether entering the current era or still existing in other realms—to once again return, redefining their future roles! Thus, the "Chongxin Evolution" is formed.
All Structures of the Shouyuan Purpose
It is precisely these individuals, whose merits and contributions have spanned the ages, who are now re-entering the world of humanity. For those whose karmic connections do not yet lie within the human realm, they must await the arrival of their destined time to once again step into the world of Diming Star, taking up the duties of guidance, protection, and guardianship. This is for all those who have ever served as guardians within Diming Star.
Moreover, those who have performed meritorious deeds and made significant contributions will mostly manifest within the Earthly Obscurity Star, returning to protect and watch over the people of the past. This revelation of celestial secrets serves to reposition the qualifications of those in high-ranking leadership roles. Additionally, many who are reincarnated from previous lives must also strive for upward growth and transcendence.
Perhaps due to great karmic connections from past lives, they once again enter the realm of the Earthly Star of Darkness. There, the manifestations from before may still persist, and for those who have rendered such merit and service, they are granted once more the great karmic blessings of protection and care. This benevolent governance of old, which offered the people considerable shelter and favor, also shines in harmony with the vast moral grace bestowed by Heaven.
That is to say, the fundamental framework of Heaven operates in this way: for all who, in this present era, have attained wealth and nobility to dominate a region, it continues to guide, protect, and watch over the daily lives, education, culture, and all other endeavors of the people—all actions are facilitated by this great causality.
The Functional Role of Restoring Antiquity and Gathering Perfection
Throughout the ages, regardless of dynasty, as long as one's merits and contributions remain preserved, the heavens bestow this divine opportunity and favorable affinity to enter this era, becoming those who can truly return and transcend. For the present age, it can be said that it is not merely an era of all teachings flourishing together.
Indeed! As for the responsibilities and sacred duties undertaken in the past, regardless of religious sects or lineages, what have they been? Moreover, concerning those who have been guided and perfected to return to the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, and those who have been waiting for the opportune moment all along—would you all assume that this signifies the descent of Maitreya? If calculated according to the causal conditions of heaven, earth, time, and space, this causality has not yet been fulfilled.
In the present era, there will be many who borrow titles to manifest in the human world. Moreover, in this current age, if someone directly claims to be a certain kind of Celestial Sovereign, Earthly Sovereign, or Human Sovereign, it is merely a borrowed title. Whether it is true or false depends entirely on each individual’s wisdom to discern. Only then will it become clear that the circumstances of time and space have already changed.
How does the Divine elevate the process of gathering and fulfillment?
Therefore, the heavens also judge each individual based on their deeds and actions, determining whether they will re-enter the cycle of rebirth in the future or ascend beyond it. This ancient principle, now revived and perfected in the current era, is precisely to grant them the opportunity to achieve true elevation, rather than merely existing within the realms of the Imperial Ultimate or the Vast Heaven.
Regarding the entirety: the transcendence and attainment of the Wuji, the Void, and the celestial realms of the great cosmos, it is necessary to re-evaluate and reconsider. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao has established the fundamental framework of the Huangji and Haotian for this era, precisely to allow those with meritorious deeds and contributions from the dynasties of the Huangji generation to re-enter, achieving even greater transcendence, return, perfection, and ascension.
This celestial opportunity and favorable affinity are fleeting, vanishing in an instant. It is one examination process followed by another, forming a judgment for their future ascension, which must be clearly understood! As for all conditions of time, space, and causes, they have long since shifted and transformed. With each generation's changes, can past causes and conditions remain unchanged? That is impossible.
The Framework of Restoration and Completion of the Cycle: Ancient Dynasties and Great Empires
The imperial system forged achievements, shaping the present self.
Universal salvation gathers all for return,  
Extending widely to the common world it turns.
All sentient beings, originally Buddha's children,  
Together accomplish this primordial cycle.
This verse is shared with all fellow Buddhist disciples for mutual encouragement, to achieve the great cause of restoring antiquity and gathering completion. This is precisely why the Heavenly Lord distinguishes between the universal salvation and gathering completion, and the restoration of antiquity and gathering completion—the difference lies merely in universality and merit. Well done, everyone. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Wuji Daoyuan Celestial Worthy
The Supreme Celestial of the Boundless Dao Circle arrives,  
Together gathering all sentient beings in orderly assembly.
The twenty-ninth cycle of the Great Dao unfolds between heaven and earth,  
Restoring antiquity and gathering the circle, virtue’s grace begins to spread.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Sovereign of our lineage, the Heavenly Venerable of Civil Enlightenment, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, descended to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This bestows the divine opportunity and auspicious affinity of restoring antiquity and gathering completion, distinguishing the achievements of its benevolent efficacy from the universal salvation and gathering completion.
This distinguishes from what is presented to you, as the process of ascension transcends not only the manifestations within the dynasties of Haotian and Huangji. Moreover, as the current era has entered an age of civilization and technology, all aspects of the future will gradually be revealed. The immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage will surely provide advance notifications one by one.
Granting you the ability to embrace newer ways of thinking and concepts, thereby advancing toward the attainment of the Buddha’s fruition in the future, is the true path! The Chongxin lineage will, after its tenth anniversary, enter the sixth phase of genuine propagation and transformation. It is hoped that all of you will apply greater diligence. Regardless of the shortcomings encountered along the way, today we can reexamine and reform every aspect of these flawed processes, thereby aligning with truth.
Otherwise, the human world is the boundary between ascending transcendence and descending reincarnation. Will you choose to transcend or to be trapped in the cycle of rebirth? It all depends on your decision. I hope that everyone will become a transcendent, for this will bring about good causes and conditions, benefiting not only yourselves but also helping all sentient beings to grow and return. Thank you for your efforts. Farewell!

The Supreme Emperor of Literary Merit, Sovereign of the Southern Heaven.
The Lord of the Southern Heavens descends in solemn ceremony,  
The Sage Emperor of Literary Balance expounds the true doctrine.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth turns thirty cycles, marking the era of universal salvation and the completion of the Great Dao.
第三十回　  普渡收圓
The efficacy of the final gathering of all human beings
The concept of "restoring the past and gathering the circle" can be clearly understood as follows: In past dynasties under monarchical rule, the care and protection extended to all subjects, when viewed from the perspective of the heavens, represented the bestowal of virtuous grace upon the human world. Furthermore, the heavens also judge all actions taken during one's lifetime, granting the opportunity in the fifth dimension to start anew with protection and fulfillment.
Now it can be observed that, regarding the foundations and functions relied upon by those who advocate for restoration and the gathering of completeness, even in today's era, we have already entered the age of civil rights. All orientations and functions are no longer those of the monarchical systems of the past. Moreover, the conditions of time, space, and circumstances have long since changed, making a return to monarchical rule fundamentally impossible.
Thus, even though one may have rendered meritorious service to the world, receiving care and protection, and benefiting all living beings, if one merely knows how to guard, care for, and fulfill one's own "inner heart, spirit, and body," it becomes difficult to achieve genuine self-elevation and transcendence beyond the roots of karma. As a result, many in the present era are reborn once again.
Those who have attained it cannot return to the cycle of rebirth again, yet most will indeed re-enter the cycle, returning once more to the present moment: in the restoration of the primordial unity and the universal salvation of all beings. If these beings adhere to all the actions and practices of the past, they will be granted the care and protection of the divine, guiding their path of survival. Therefore, observe carefully—is this not the way of the world today?
The fulfillment of a single finger through the universal ferry of karma.
Whether one dominates a region, serves as a prosperous merchant, or takes on roles as a leader or religious figure, all are blessed by the profound grace and protection accumulated from past lives. In this present era, there will once again be opportunities for mutual fulfillment and elevation. Often, this is facilitated through religious connections or by becoming a successful merchant.
Among these, the predestined connection of the Heavenly Way is universal, extending to all living beings. This mutual transmission of universality allows those who enter the religious practice process to truly understand all the extraordinary stages of heavenly opportunities and good affinities. It thereby genuinely manifests the growth of Buddha-nature, which can also be mutually realized and verified.
One can also immerse oneself in the supportive role of religious faith. This can be observed through the benevolent countenance that emerges after embracing the Way of the Unity or Buddhism—a significant cause and condition rooted in goodness. Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is a function of entering the path of Mahayana Bodhisattva practice, serving as the foundation upon which religious faith relies.
However, there are also many cases where individuals who were once considered ill-favored or wicked, upon entering the Yiguan Tiandao or Buddhism, are able to transform their unfavorable countenance and alter their fierce, cruel appearance. After a few years, they manifest a remarkably benevolent visage—this is a true transformation.
The role of universal salvation fosters growth.
Moreover, one can even suppress one's own malevolent nature. To such believers, it can be said: those who possess a virtuous countenance are the fundamental will of Heaven, universally bestowed to guide and perfect! This is also granted to all original spirit Buddhas of the Green Yang and Red Yang, enabling them to enter the Earthly Star and rely on these actions for survival.
It is essential to truly enable the "mind, body, and spirit" to mutually fulfill one another, and through these three aspects, to achieve ascension and transcendence. Furthermore, by relying on the cultivation opportunities provided by the divine arrangements of the past Green Yang, Red Yang, and now the White Yang era, one can genuinely progress in the human world, advancing toward elevation and transcendence.
Rather than allowing them to repeatedly cycle within the human realm, it is essential to understand that this divine opportunity and favorable condition for cultivation and transformation lies within the Earthly Obscure Star. However, one often fails to persevere in their original faith and grand vows, as they are entangled by all past causes, effects, and karmic debts, thereby causing them to deviate from their initial aspirations.
Furthermore, many find themselves fundamentally incapable of practicing in accordance with the great vows they have made. Such situations can be described as commonplace. When faced with trials and tribulations, individuals often lack the foundational structure and basic knowledge to persevere; they retreat at the slightest setback, or even flee long before the challenge truly begins.
The grace of Heaven nurtures all beings in the vast universe to grow and thrive.
Such religious believers can be said to be unworthy of emulation; even within the widespread faith they follow, they fall short of the mark. In their devotion to the supreme heaven and adherence to the consistent path of the Dao, they are granted the principle of first attaining and then cultivating, first possessing and then seeking, yet they also serve a guiding role for all within the broader, universal faith.
Thus, many are those who merely fill the ranks without substance, and even more are those not worth emulating. However, while the multitudes are universally guided, those who truly enter into religious faith and can ascend to transcendence are indeed rare! In guiding the widespread masses through faith, we also ignite the lamp of the heart for the future, establishing a framework for initiation and transmission, extending it to the vast multitude of sentient beings.
Furthermore, in the future, how to guide and ferry beings anew relates to the karmic connections of the Red Yang period and the Green Yang period. In the current era, as we enter the White Yang period, it can be said that this is also the framework of transmitting the seal and bestowing teachings, serving as the foundation for the future return. This pertains to one’s own entry into Buddhism or the faith of the Yiguan Tian Dao.
By granting each other the opportunity to fulfill past vows through meritorious deeds, we are able to accumulate merits in the present to save ourselves and others. This mutual fulfillment, particularly in the land of Taiwan, can be said to truly possess functional efficacy. It is also guided and supported by the vow-power of the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping, Daoji, under the arrangement of the Limitless Sacred Mother.
The Significance of the Functions and Benefits of the Final Gathering
Those who have entered into religious faith share a great mutual destiny of fulfillment. It can be observed that within the past fifty years, this influence has spread across nearly half of the Earthly Nether Star System. Truly, for both Buddhism and the Yiguan Tian Dao, this expansive destiny has guided the descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors of the Central Plains to embrace faith, achieving mutual support and fulfillment.
From the perspective of Buddhism and the Heavenly Dao system, this is about mutual fulfillment among all who enter religious faith. If we consider the widespread reach of Christianity and Catholicism, which surpasses that of Buddhism or the Yiguan Heavenly Dao, then under such conditions of karma, you may only recognize Buddhism and the Yiguan Heavenly Dao as practicing "universal salvation and completion."
It is quite difficult to clarify that, in comparison to all world religions, the religions of God and Christ, with their mutual propagation and salvation, far surpass the dissemination and promotion of Daoism and Confucianism. In the universal guidance, the sentient world only knows the consistent Heavenly Way and the universal salvation of Buddhism, which also complement each other.
It is only within the system of the Heavenly Dao that the concept of "gathering the circle" is mentioned. In general Daoist traditions and among those who practice spiritual mountain cultivation, the phrase "restoring antiquity and gathering the circle" is used. Under such circumstances, many are unaware that within the universal salvation of Christianity and Catholicism, there is also a process of growth and maturation, yet these traditions do not speak of "gathering the circle."
The function of gathering the circle benefits all human beings and sentient beings.
This discourse, emerging in the 20th century, enters the realm of religious belief. It can now be said that within the universal salvation offered by Yiguan Dao, Catholicism, Christianity, Huijia, Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, there is mutual fulfillment. That is to say, it guides sentient beings and cultivators among humanity toward both return and transcendence.
This is to bestow upon those practitioners who have entered other religions what is known as the universal salvation function and benefit. It is essential to understand that although other religions may not explicitly speak of "gathering the virtuous," they are in fact already truly engaged in the act of gathering. It is merely that the terminology differs among religions. Since you have also entered into the conditions for gathering the virtuous, how then should you proceed?
It is precisely about not distinguishing among Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and all religions, especially in the present era when all religions, and even more so with the simultaneous flourishing of myriad faiths, each operates at different levels and realms of "restoring the ancient and gathering the complete" as well as "universal salvation and gathering the complete." Each demonstrates its unique divine powers and wondrous capabilities to guide and protect all those who have been cared for and sheltered in the past.
All related sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas, regarding your ability to enter a future within a particular faith, it should be about: ascension and transcendence, not descent and reincarnation. This is not the fundamental intention and framework of Heaven. In terms of the functional benefits of the Final Gathering, one should also personally enter to eliminate all past negative dispositions.
The function of universal salvation, restoration of antiquity, and completion of the cosmic cycle.
This means altering one's own undesirable habits and all the effects of ingrained behaviors. Within this process, it also involves refining one's own flawed personality traits during the transformation of habits, guiding oneself into the humanistic world. It is about genuinely purifying the negative impurities in one's eighth consciousness, which requires both "purifying filtration" and "quiet contemplation."
It is precisely through "still contemplation and pure filtration" that the fundamental structure itself can truly attain a day of ascension and transcendence! This applies to entering the human world, without distinction among Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and all religions under heaven and earth—for you, who know only of having a single religious belief.
However, they fail to understand the fundamental intention of Heaven toward the entire Earthly Nether Star in "universal salvation and completion," as well as the divine framework of returning to antiquity and achieving completion. It is precisely a fresh start, a re-entry into the human world, granting a genuine opportunity to realign with the auspicious fate ordained by celestial design. This means that for all of you, without distinction—be it Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam—all religions are included.
Furthermore, regarding the system of heavenly principles, it is even more directly about mutual fulfillment and completion. This is why the Supreme Deity has initiated the profound opportunity of the Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect lineage—to allow you all to understand that "the true Buddha resides within your own heart." If you seek the Buddha externally, the Buddha is not there. This also serves to dismantle external appearances in your religious faith.
The Universal Path of Salvation and Completion in Yiguan Dao
Why are there so many difficulties in achieving ascension and transcendence? It is all due to a lack of understanding of the will of Heaven. Why did the Supreme Wuji Huangmu personally decree and bestow upon the Chongxin Sect the divine opportunity and auspicious affinity? The reason lies precisely here. Moreover, this has been the mission throughout the establishment of the Chongxin Sect's halls over the past decade.
In the scrutiny and supervision of all processes, it becomes clear why Heaven rigorously selects those with truly great aspirations to enter the system of the Chongxin Sect lineage. This serves to guide and ferry over 420 million sentient beings, original spirit Buddha-disciples, as well as to "borrow talents" from high-tech professionals, creating a significant opportunity for genuine research, invention, and creation.
This celestial opportunity and affinity, over the course of these ten years, has been affirmed by the heavens through the Chongxin lineage. It is precisely by adhering to the principles of "punctuality, lawfulness, trustworthiness, and righteousness" that the foundational structure of Chongxin Hall over the past decade has earned the recognition and approval of the heavens. Moreover, it has garnered the admiration of all the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers.
The celestial secret of restoring the ancient and gathering the complete; the appointed time for universal salvation and gathering the complete has arrived.
Transcending boundaries of self and other,  
Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam converge in harmony.
The Imperial Mother of Wuji Bestows a Sacred Decree,  
Chongxin's Destiny is Granted by Heavenly Virtue.
The Patriarch of the Reason Brush can hold firm to his resolve,  
Even more so can the Master of the Hall of Wisdom and Insight.
This is a test of all the fundamental structures bestowed by Heaven. Through each and every trial from Heaven, one can discern how the foundational framework and steadfast faith of a messenger proclaiming Heaven's will truly stand. It can be said that the foundation that the Chongxin lineage has achieved today is precisely due to the nourishment and growth provided by the teachings and resources bestowed by the celestial immortals and buddhas.
Once again, it is through steady, step-by-step efforts to solidify the foundation that such vast transformative functions can be achieved. In the future, this will truly initiate the sixth phase of guiding transformation and return. It is hoped that all students of the Chongxin lineage must strive diligently to ascend toward ultimate perfection and transcendence. Your hard work is deeply appreciated, and thank you for accompanying this endeavor in writing. Farewell, everyone!
The Celestial Worthy of Infinite Blessings and Fortune
The boundless cause and condition descend upon the Chongxin,  
Drawing forth all beings to receive blessings.
The Heavenly Venerable today initiates the cycle of rebirth,  
bringing together deities and mortals in great harmony.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Chairman of our lineage, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor Wenheng, has descended to Chongxin to compose the thirtieth chapter of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." This chapter, "Universal Salvation and Completion," is interconnected with the previous chapter, "Restoring Antiquity and Completion," offering everyone a genuine path for upward growth and elevation.
It is also necessary for you to understand why, upon entering contemporary religious beliefs, you only grasp fragments of knowledge and find it difficult to comprehend the evolution of religion as a whole. You must recognize that faith in God and Christ has long surpassed the religions of the Central Plains, such as Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism. This is precisely where the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains fall short.
One can observe how others practice the blessings of religious faith, which is the true nature of reality. It is also important to understand that it is precisely by not distinguishing between Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam—and by not separating you, me, and others—that genuine integration can be achieved. This concept should be deeply rooted in your "eighth consciousness."
Furthermore, in the future, only by holding the belief in the equality of all religions can one avoid clinging to the notion that the Chongxin lineage is the foremost religion in the world—such a view is not commendable! Do you understand? We should respect the unique strengths of each religion, thereby breaking down the concept of "only my religion is supreme." Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun
The Great Dao of Wuji arises from causes and conditions,  
The Spirit of Taiyi, Savior from Suffering, thus comes into being.
Daode Heaven and Earth, Chapter Thirty-One: The Five Teachings Gather to Fulfill the True Essence.
第卅一回　 五教收圓
In the human world, regarding the belief in the Five Teachings,
After humanity enters the realm of religion, there exists a reliance on faith. Particularly for all original spirit and Buddha’s children, who return time and again to the human world, it is essential to understand that within the framework of survival orientation and religious belief, it is only through one’s own conviction upon entering religion that the supportive role of faith can be fully realized.
From this, it can be understood that within the human world, as observed from the perspective of the Earthly Nether Star, there exists a boundary between ascent and descent. After entering a religion, whether one merely adheres to its faith or truly achieves elevation or avoids further reincarnation depends entirely on genuine upward progress, which is the true nature of reality.
Otherwise, even after embracing religious faith, one may still retain many undesirable dispositions, particularly toward oneself: whether the negative aspects of habits, routines, personality, and innate tendencies can be reformed, or whether all habitual behaviors are merely brought into religion as a nominal affiliation, becoming nothing more than a registered follower or student of that religion!
The divine descends and transforms within the mortal world through mutual causes and conditions. From the perspective of the divine, there is no distinction among any religious sects or lineages. However, once descending into the mortal world, distinctions arise. Through the support and function of religion, one’s own faith, will, and driving force are encompassed, thereby propelling oneself forward.
Individuals develop an interest in entering religious faith.
The actions of individuals are guided by their respective beliefs, and under the influence of these beliefs, they find their spiritual anchor. This leads to distinctions in what each person holds as supreme, greatest, or even impure and defiled in thought. Furthermore, when religious figures promote such distinctions among believers, these convictions become exceedingly difficult to alter.
This will inevitably lead to disrespect and discourtesy towards other religions, thereby distorting the original intent of one's own faith. The purpose of entering a religion is to elevate oneself and embrace a selfless, impartial spiritual reliance. Yet, all too often, the opposite occurs, creating conditions for one's ego to swell even greater and higher.
This further leads to disrespect toward other religions, thereby creating obstacles for this very religion—such instances are indeed everywhere. It is essential to understand that without distinction among any religious sects or lineages, all are manifestations of the Supreme Heaven descending into the mortal world, mutually guiding all destined individuals of every kind toward a reliance on faith.
This is to provide convenience for the widespread dissemination of faith, where each individual selects from the educational and cultural curricula of various religions to distinguish among them. It is essential that one's "mind, spirit, and body" can mutually fulfill one another. If one cannot first benefit oneself but seeks to benefit others first, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
The five teachings, each with its unique excellence, guide and deliver sentient beings according to their affinity.
Moreover, it is like a fool’s delusion—when one cannot even benefit oneself first, yet seeks to benefit others first, it is fundamentally unattainable. However, those who wish to prioritize benefiting others may claim: "How noble this is!" Yet in reality, it is not so. One must understand that this is like "the blind leading the blind, one after another falling into the pit of fire!" It leads to entering the realm of blind faith and reliance.
From the perspective of ordinary worldly beings, it is a permissible scope of faith allowed by Heaven to rely on beliefs that can prevent one from falling into evil paths. One must understand that one cannot truly guide other original spirit Buddhas and disciples to return and transcend. Instead, it is based on each individual’s karmic blessings and causes from past lives that they enter into this present lifetime.
All of this is supported by the blessings of each individual! It is precisely the descent of the Heavenly Will into the mortal world, guiding all original spirit Buddha-children across various regions, that allows them to find fulfillment through nearby faith and reliance. This facilitates their practice, learning, and growth in close proximity, which encompasses the beliefs of various religions.
One may choose and adhere to a religion based on personal preference, which allows believers in this present life to enter into a more harmonious state of faith and reliance. However, this does not guarantee that every individual who enters a religious faith can achieve transcendence and return to the ultimate truth. Moreover, it raises the question of how the educational and cultural curricula inherent to religious believers themselves are structured.
The five teachings are equal and mutually integrated.
Can one return to realms such as the Kingdom of Heaven, Paradise, or the Pure Land, and enter into the Boundless, the Void, or the Great Cosmic Heaven? Some may only reach the Imperial Ultimate Heaven to mutually rely upon and sustain. Within this, there are many distinctions, constructed through the inner contemplation of various religious beliefs—this is the evolution of the "concept of Consciousness-Only."
All of these factors influence whether believers can develop an equal and thoughtful mindset. It is essential to genuinely practice and reform, addressing one's own undesirable habits and inherent dispositions. This involves truly relying on the process of rectifying one’s flaws. Through such reliance, it becomes clear whether, after entering a religion, one can genuinely eliminate the erroneous influences of negative innate tendencies.
This deficiency in one's inherent disposition provides an opportunity to reform one's undesirable accumulated habits and underlying causes, which is the true path. Otherwise, one can engage in genuine learning regarding the "self-mind, spiritual nature, and physical body," allowing oneself to grow and gain, thereby truly benefiting and elevating oneself, ultimately achieving the perfect return of such benefits.
Rather than merely entering a religion only to be reborn again in the next life and repeat the cycle—would you truly desire that? Therefore, once one has entered a religion, one should no longer distinguish between Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, or any other religion within the universe, nor differentiate among all emerging religions.
The Function of the Five Teachings in Gathering Completion
All are one body, as such, the true and just reliance on faith allows oneself to engage in religious belief, manifesting in the mortal world the divine opportunity and good affinity that has, since ancient times, made no distinction between "restoring antiquity and gathering completion," "universal salvation and gathering completion," and "the gathering completion of the five teachings." Moreover, all who enter religious faith are aware only of this gathering completion.
It is precisely through the consistent Heavenly Way that interpretation and fulfillment are achieved. That is, the "universal salvation and gathering of perfection" of the consistent Heavenly Way distinguishes and brings forth a universally joyful functional benefit within the systems of "restoring antiquity and gathering perfection" and "gathering perfection of the five teachings." This is in response to the supreme cause and condition bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, manifested in the action of gathering perfection within the mundane world.
To truly transform a religious believer by addressing all past negative dispositions and refining them to achieve a state of purity and freedom from contamination, it is to allow "still contemplation and pure filtration" to distinguish and mutually fulfill the three aspects of one's "inner mind, spirit, and body."
The human world is not merely for survival and dependence; it is essential to understand that only by possessing abundant wisdom can one attain the blessings of prosperity. From this, one may come to realize the richness of virtue. Within this lies also the abundance of material wealth, enabling oneself to truly benefit. The key lies in "illuminating the mind, realizing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition."
The Heavenly Secret and Auspicious Opportunity for the Convergence of the Five Teachings
Only then can one transcend the great matter of human life and death. This is precisely the current moment when the Heavenly Lord is carrying out the work of gathering and perfecting all religions, thereby enabling all sentient original spirit Buddhas and disciples who have entered into religion to undergo transformation and elevation. It is through this very process of elevation that one comes to rectify all of one’s imperfections and unwholesome dispositions.
The ability to select and refine one's undesirable innate dispositions is the true condition that genuinely benefits oneself. I wonder if you all desire it or not? Such conditions have long been manifested in the mortal world, having been bestowed from the heavens to the earthly realm through the "Yichong Xinzong Lineage" to compose the extraordinary affinity of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
Furthermore, all ancient mysteries and causes that have not yet descended into the mortal world shall be truthfully imparted to you. By truly understanding these firsthand materials, you may genuinely elevate your thoughts and principles. This is precisely the granting of the Great Completion, which makes no distinctions: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Yiguan Tiandao, and all religious sects and lineages are equally and truly united as one.
It is due to this extraordinary affinity that one can come to understand that it is not merely, in terms of the Yiguan Tian Dao, about the "Gathering of the Ultimate" alone. In fact, it has long extended to all religious sects and lineages, though each tradition uses different names for it. It is essential to truly comprehend: what, then, is the fundamental framework and original intent of Heaven in this era?
All religions should respect one another.
Why must one fulfill the conditions of cosmic completion to achieve ascension and transcendence? Only in this way can one truly benefit oneself. Otherwise, if entering the human world merely serves as a refuge for religious faith, why should you devote yourselves wholeheartedly to the path of belief? It is precisely through a lifetime of diligent effort that one may attain the elevation and transcendence of a hundred lifetimes.
Regarding the 92 original spirits and 400 million Buddhist disciples, as well as the over two million high-tech talents who have been borrowed and entered the Earthly Nether Star, such conditions and connections are ultimately aimed at opening a true Pure Land world for the future world. This Pure Land world within the space of the Earthly Nether Star, however, still falls short of the Pure Land worlds of the Void and the Limitless Precious Reality.
Furthermore, how can one connect the various levels, so as to align oneself after entering religion, and even without distinguishing between: the Limitless, the Void, the Great Cosmos, and even the connections formed by the Heavenly Sovereign and all individual karmic ties within the worlds of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Paradise, and the Pure Land... all these distinct worlds, each reaching different levels.
What each individual attains is merely a difference in the levels and realms of their own embodiment. It is about the descent from the heavens to the earthly star to elevate and refine, which means altering the habitual tendencies of all original spirit Buddha-children. Otherwise, you have descended for too long, having long been lost in the human world, living as humans—what else can be done?
The Preeminent Conditions for the Convergence of the Five Teachings
Moreover, how does the divine virtue and grace descend upon you? It is precisely through the guidance of virtuous deities that you are led into religion, enabling the elevation of your thoughts towards equality. Only then can the justice and equality inherent in all religions be perfected. This is the fundamental structure and original intent of the Divine, designed to benefit all sentient beings among humanity.
Regarding the future, whether it is the restoration and completion of antiquity, universal salvation and completion, or the completion of the five teachings, these processes have long been underway. It is merely that the divine has descended into various forms, with different methods of operation and names. In truth, the original intent and structure are all the same! This can provide everyone with a renewed system of thought, enabling you all to benefit from it.
Due to the convergence of the five teachings, it is not merely a matter of personal endeavor. In truth, the heavens have long been at work in this process. There are indeed countless beings in the world; how then can one enter this system of convergence and return to the conditions of transcendence, achieving ascension and surpassing? Only through fairness and selflessness can the Great Dao be propagated throughout the universe.
This is what Heaven has long been carrying out, testing whether the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the Central Plains can learn from the unique affinities of Christianity and Islam, especially with regard to Catholicism and Protestantism. Only by achieving greater elevation and perfection can there be a beneficial and effective function for the future "harmonious convergence of the five religions"! We earnestly hope for it! We earnestly hope for it!
Elevating the causes and conditions that are created,  
Returning to antiquity and universal salvation are both for the common good.
The five teachings originally emanated from the Supreme Heaven;  
The perfection of each individual brings about wondrous fulfillment.
The path of humanity must be elevated,  
For predestined bonds, long formed, should be mutually cherished.
Return to the Reverent Heart for Guidance  
The Great Dao Series Achieves Completion with Heaven
This verse! Let us encourage one another, fellow sentient beings and Buddhas-to-be, to bring the great virtue and grace of Heaven down to transform the mundane world. For you, after entering into religion, this serves as a foundation for learning, growth, and elevation. It provides a basic framework for advancement, enabling you to achieve fulfillment in this very lifetime, rather than waiting for the next. That is not the fundamental intention of Heaven. Thank you all for your efforts. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
Limitless Heavenly Worthy of Advancing Wealth
Descending from the boundless karma into the mortal dust,  
Embracing fortune and gathering wealth, a treasure of affection.
Those blessed with virtue are destined to succeed,  
Their own strength is affirmed by heavenly virtue indeed.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Vice Dean of our lineage’s Wuji Great Dao Academy—the Heavenly Lord Taiyi, Savior from Suffering—has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He reveals to the mortal world the celestial secrets of the unification of the five teachings, providing all sentient beings of goodwill with the causes and conditions for the growth of all that is virtuous.
To comprehend the world of sentient beings, it must be understood that the heavens have long established the fundamental framework for the Five Teachings to gather and fulfill their missions. You might think that the term "gathering and fulfillment" is exclusive to the Yiguan Tian Dao, yet it is precisely within the grand predestined arrangements made by the heavens that all Buddha's disciples are guided to enter, truly discerning the profound opportunities and growing in the auspicious grace of divine mysteries.
Granting oneself the ability to elevate the construction of thought, and how to benefit from it, is a process refined through repeated efforts, which will unveil the true clarity of divine opportunities and favorable connections! The Heavens have decreed upon the Chongxin lineage not to adopt the systems of "reviving the past, universal salvation, or the five teachings" for the completion of spiritual cycles, as each of these predecessors has already established its own respective causes and conditions to proceed.
The profound karmic mission of the Wuji Huangmu (Primordial Mother) for the Chongxin lineage is precisely to advance from "restoring antiquity and gathering completion, universal salvation and gathering completion, and the gathering completion of the five teachings" into the four further stages of "return, transcendence, perfection, and ascension." The mission borne by the Chongxin lineage is thus extraordinary! Do you all comprehend? Diligently devote your hearts to it!
Tomorrow brings another opportunity to break through delusion with Zen insight, and to guide the great cause of salvation. Regarding the gathering of all beings, which transcends distinctions such as "returning to antiquity," "universal salvation," or "the five teachings," one must thoroughly understand its origins and context to grasp its true nature. Otherwise, to leap outside the framework of this gathering is not a matter of good or bad—it is simply a question of whether one can comprehend it. Reflect on this for yourself.
Thank you all for your company and hard work today. I appreciate your presence, and I wish to bestow upon everyone an increase in fortune and wealth. Take a moment to reflect, close your eyes, and feel a stream of energy flowing from above. Each person will perceive what they are meant to receive. Ha! Ha! Farewell for now!

The Great Heavenly Venerable of Numinous Treasure
The spirit opens for all beings to grow and thrive,  
Precious is the true opportunity, with virtue’s grace long alive.
The Celestial Venerable is impartial, aiding only the virtuous;  
The Great Way gathers completion, returning to its origin.
第卅二回　 收圓回歸
The Fundamental Meaning of the System of Gathering the Completion
The fundamental framework of "Universal Salvation and Completion, Return to Antiquity and Completion, and the Completion of the Five Teachings" essentially addresses how, after achieving completion, one should guide these sentient beings and Buddhist disciples toward growth and attainment. This serves as a crucial foundation, as well as the guiding principle for all actions undertaken within the contexts of "Return to Antiquity and Completion, Universal Salvation and Completion, and the Completion of the Five Teachings."
What improvements should be made? It is precisely by entering the human world in the present moment, equipped with the genuine conditions for true benefit, and in alignment with the fundamental structure of the Heavenly Will, that all actions following the completion of this gathering can be faithfully realized: returning, transcending, attaining perfection, and ascending. Only then can sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples achieve elevation.
This is the fundamental action for the future of the human world: growth, learning, harvest, and benefit! It is bestowed upon all religious sects and lineages across the vast universe to enter into genuine upward growth and elevation. In other words, it enables the action of gathering and completion to be achieved within the human world, thereby bringing forth many favorable and virtuous conditions of good karma.
Whether in the past frameworks of "restoring antiquity to complete the cycle," "universal salvation to complete the cycle," or "the convergence of the five teachings to complete the cycle," the true essence lies in how all peculiar temperaments and eccentric dispositions can be rectified. Why should these original spiritual beings and Buddha’s children be subject to modification, and what were the original reasons for their reliance on the celestial realms of various star systems?
There are far too many habits and tendencies in the human world.
Why, then, must one enter the human world to truly cultivate and improve? It is because the present era provides a unique temporal and spatial environment to attain all the celestial opportunities and favorable conditions from ancient times. Within this setting, one can reform and refine all aspects: individuality, habits, inertia, and innate nature, allowing all positive affinities to flourish in such an environment.
Furthermore, it becomes clear why such conditions are necessary for cultivation and transformation: they elevate the fundamental intent of the "gathering and completion" to a higher level, rather than merely entering the human world for the sake of livelihood and survival. Even within the human realm, if one cannot change their own negative actions, how can there be genuine upward elevation?
In response to such shortcomings and inadequacies, it is precisely the conditions for achieving ultimate fulfillment! Through the function of this innate nature, all the negative habits accumulated since ancient times can be transformed within sentient beings and original spiritual Buddha-nature disciples, enabling them to truly reform their own detrimental habits and deficiencies. Yet, faced with these cycles of countless reincarnations since time immemorial, what can one do?
Each moment in time and space presents an opportunity for all sentient beings and Buddhist disciples to meet the conditions for final fulfillment, precisely by reforming and rectifying their own shortcomings: habits, tendencies, personality traits, and innate dispositions. One must understand why such conduct arises in the human world—it is because, within the timing of Heaven, there exist far too many deficiencies and inadequacies.
What comes after the completion of the cosmic cycle?
Therefore, being unable to integrate into the celestial systems and star realms of Heaven, one is thus relegated to the mortal world to undergo another phase of self-cultivation and correction of faults—this is precisely the reason. Furthermore, the Divine has descended numerous religious lineages into the mortal realm, adapting to the local environment and space to guide nearby cultivators into these religions for their refinement.
If one seeks to cultivate and transform through related causes and conditions, it is essential to have geographical connections in the vicinity to facilitate entry into the religious causes and conditions nearby. However, it is precisely by not discriminating among any—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, or any emerging religions—and by embracing all as conditions for universal fulfillment, that this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity can be genuinely elevated.
It is precisely after the completion of the cosmic cycle that a genuine process of elevation becomes necessary. For these sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s disciples, having undergone repeated cycles of transformation, they must truly rectify their peculiar habits and stubborn temperaments, genuinely reforming their shortcomings and deficiencies. Moreover, for those who can truly change their inherent negative dispositions, the Heavens grant significant elevation.
It is essential to enable everyone to achieve return and transcendence, truly transforming those with shortcomings and deficiencies, thereby entering into the state of return and transcendence. Moreover, regarding the concept of return: in the present era of heaven and earth, only the "Imperial Decree Chong Xin Lineage" manifests in the mundane world, without distinguishing between the systems of "Returning to Antiquity and Completing the Circle", "Universal Salvation and Completing the Circle", or "Five Teachings Completing the Circle".
Returning to transcendence, perfection multiplies and surpasses.
It is essential to possess genuine principles in order to settle the "impurities accumulated from internal contemplation," thereby clearing away the flawed constructs of one's own thinking. This process of true ascension and transcendence beyond the foundational framework allows for the establishment of a stable and solid system of thought, enabling steady progress and surpassing of limitations.
Regarding the action of gathering completion, which is manifested in the mortal world through all religions, what is to be done for the Chongxin lineage? That is to say, after the gathering completion, there will be true growth and return through elevation and transcendence. Is this not a lofty point of inquiry? Rather, it is absolutely true, representing upward growth within the system of thought.
Moreover, it can truly purify the eighth consciousness within oneself, removing all impurities; it is essential to understand: the clear and light ascend to become heaven, while the turbid and heavy descend to form earth—this is the fundamental framework of Daoism since ancient times. Understanding this, one realizes that every action and behavior in the human world is precisely what determines whether one is qualified to enter into religion and cultivate oneself.
Whether through meditation practices, acts of charity and giving, or any form of religious devotion and sacrifice, one can realize and enter into genuine elevation and transcendence. This is to achieve a return to the great cause and condition. Why then does the Chongxin lineage differ from external traditions in speaking not of a "system of completion and gathering" but of "return and transcendence"?
Returning to the origin and gathering the circle is the true path.
It is precisely the religion that can be considered "high-class" that can complement and mutually reinforce the four hundred million Buddhist disciples and the over two million high-tech talents. Reflect carefully on why the Chongxin lineage possesses such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity. To you, it can be said: due to the karmic conditions of the Three Periods of the Dragon Flower Assembly, entering this specific time and space provides the genuine conditions for benefit.
It is precisely about gathering the circle and elevating it to return and transcend to the Wuji Heavenly Principle. Within this process, there must still be perfect accomplishment in order to genuinely achieve: return, transcendence, perfection, and elevation. This is also based on the fundamental framework of Chongxin, through the foundational work of Chongxin, enabling all great karmic connections within this specific time and space environment to enter the transcendence of contemporary technological civilization.
This is the grace bestowed by Heaven upon all human realms in this third kalpa, to attain ascension and transcendence. It is essential to understand that not only does it grant the true realization of "enlightening the mind, perceiving one's nature, attaining awakening, and achieving fruition," but it also enables you, through the process of "learning, growing, reaping, and benefiting," to experience and verify this realization, thereby facilitating your upward growth.
Only then can the framework of "Restoring Antiquity and Gathering Completion," "Universal Salvation and Gathering Completion," and "Unifying the Five Teachings and Gathering Completion" be truly elevated. However, the celestial opportunity and profound affinity of the Chongxin lineage did not fall from the sky without cause. Rather, they exist so that sentient beings and future Buddha-disciples may come to realize the sublime conditions behind the creation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" for the human world.
How is the completion of all systems of salvation to be achieved?
It is precisely through these small, incremental efforts that you can harness the function and benefits of learning to attain the profound opportunity for genuine growth. Otherwise, among sentient beings who enter religion, some can be said to truly cultivate with sincere intent, while others merely go through the motions of practice without changing their ingrained negative habits.
It is precisely what causes one to be reborn in the next life, and such behavior you can clearly observe in those around you. There are also those who, though they have the intention to engage in cultivation and transformation, lack sufficient faith. Moreover, driven by all the habits, inertia, personality, and inherent nature of human existence, they are inevitably constrained by the pressures of survival—what else can they do?
Having once been full of confidence, only to be betrayed by one's own conscience under the pressure of life, what then of the next life, the next turn? It becomes even more unknowable. To understand cultivation and transformation, one must have a true method, to become a joyful cultivator—that is, to become a joyful practitioner. I wonder, do you wish for this?
Restoring the ancient and gathering the perfected, a task spanning millennia;  
Universally delivering and gathering the perfected, these two are closely akin.
The teachings of the Five Religions converge to spread universally,  
Returning to the root of destiny, the virtue of Heaven draws near.
Come joyfully to cultivate the Way,  
Transforming methods through guidance and practice.
Reverently returning the heart to the great and sublime,  
We welcome the blessings of wealth, fortune, and wisdom.
This verse! May all sentient beings and fellow Buddhists encourage one another. For you, we shall elaborate on the framework of: restoring antiquity to gather completion, universal salvation to gather completion, and unifying the five teachings to gather completion. Entering the Heart of Reverence: returning and transcending is the only way to attain upward elevation and surpassing from within perfection. We hope for it! We hope for it! We appreciate everyone’s diligent companionship in this work. Thank you! Farewell!
The Celestial Venerable of Boundless Joy and Bliss
Wuji's Benevolent Decree Establishes the Chongxin Hall,  
Joy and Bliss Descend, Refreshing the Heart.
The Celestial Venerable gathers with all virtuous disciples,  
May everyone enjoy auspiciousness and eternal heavenly joy.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Academy’s revered Lingbao Great Heavenly Venerable descended to compose the thirty-second chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." Where will the final return lead? If one can follow the karmic path revealed through the celestial texts of the Great Tao series from the Chongxin lineage, understanding may be attained.
It is precisely through the toil of your present life that true liberation can be achieved across countless generations. If one fails to recognize their own heavenly opportunity and good fortune, and hopes to enter the final gathering and return in another lifetime, that would be too distant a prospect. The key lies in whether one can cherish this very moment, embrace these favorable conditions of good karma, and move forward with determination, rather than treating them as optional or insignificant.
It is essential to understand that all actions in this lifetime will be judged based on whether one will return in the next life. After entering the Chongxin lineage, whether one truly achieves upward elevation is the genuine reality. One must comprehend that the work of gathering completion is decreed by the Wuji Huangmu, to be carried out by all five major teachings.
The lineage of Chongxin no longer engages in such sacred duties; instead, after the completion of the universal gathering, it truly guides all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples toward transcendence and perfection. This reveals the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin lineage—what could it be? Understanding this, one must cherish it as the true nature! Let us now explain today's sacred decree in detail.
It is certain that one can comprehend that all the excellence and transcendence of the Chongxin lineage are precisely the profound and elevated path of the "Hi! Class" lineage. It is essential to cherish this deeply and seize this rare and extraordinary opportunity of karmic affinity, as it allows oneself to return to and realize transcendence. Do you understand? Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!

Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji
Nanping Daoji descends in person, the Ancient Buddha's works are inscribed upon heaven and earth.
The Great Dao series spreads universal transformation,  
The Buddha declares the virtues of heaven and earth are unveiled.
第卅三回　  魁光帶甲
The radiance of the celestial light shines brightly upon both shoulders.
The profound heavenly opportunity and virtuous affinity enter into the human world, and the conditions for relying upon them lie in the capacity to bring greater teachings to humanity. Through the grace of the heavens bestowed upon the mortal realm, it is also achieved by the benevolent causes and conditions from above. Thus, a sacred mission arises to propagate this truth. Since ancient times, such extraordinary conditions and affinities have mutually fulfilled one another.
It is an even greater heavenly affinity for elevation, bestowed upon these sentient beings and Buddha's disciples, to advance towards a broader space for growth. Moreover, in the past, whether one has shouldered the responsibilities and missions of Heaven determines the distinction within the "Kuiguang Daijia" system. It is precisely through this divine mandate and duty that the auspicious opportunity for widespread transformation and guidance arises.
For the present generation, all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples who have already entered the 21st century, it is through spreading teachings and fulfilling vows that true and perfect fulfillment can be achieved! Thus, those endowed with a relatively refined literary ability may say: It is as if on both shoulders, two rays of light are there to protect and guide them.
This light, which illuminates the path when walking through the darkness of night, and this "radiance of the guiding star," has since ancient times bestowed great blessings of merit, fame, and fortune. In times past, it was precisely the scholarly honors of the xiucai or juren—those who could further amplify the brilliance of this guiding light—that signified a profound karmic connection with the heavens, granting such merit and renown.
The Kui Guang system is widespread among humanity.
To comprehend, the cause and condition for entering the human realm to cultivate and uphold the path is precisely to receive the foundation bestowed by the Eternal Sacred Mother of Wuji and the Jade Decree of the Heavenly Court. It is also through the governance of the Southern Heaven that all guidance is administered, and regarding the return of these original souls of the ninety-two, this is further carried out under the subordinate administration of the Southern Heaven's executive government, with the "Kuiguang System" serving as the foundational cause and condition.
There is also a "Hall of Brilliant Light," where those who receive the sacred decrees and jade edicts from Heaven enter the human world. This allows them to first genuinely embark on the path of cultivation and self-improvement, thereby gaining great karma and immense capability to guide all sentient beings with affection. Without discrimination, it elevates and transcends these systems.
The heavenly mysteries encompassed in "Returning to Antiquity and Gathering Completion," "Universal Salvation and Gathering Completion," and "The Five Teachings Gathering Completion" must first be understood by oneself to be elevated. One must know how to draw upon previously accumulated knowledge and experience, and only by returning to and transcending "Universal Salvation and Gathering Completion" can one truly ascend and grow.
It is precisely because of possessing relatively clever and agile knowledge and wisdom that such individuals, upon entering the human world to survive, are more prone to harbor a mindset of seeking luck. They are also less capable of staying grounded, and consequently, they will face successive trials and examinations. This has been a troubling issue since the first and second cosmic cycles of the past.
The Function of the Kuiguang System
Regarding these sentient beings and original spirit disciples of the Buddha, entering the Third Kalpa will determine whether all merits and fruits can genuinely foster growth in this lifetime as humans, or whether they must start anew. If they must begin again, it will inevitably be a painful return to the human world. Such conditions serve as a testament to the karmic connections within the "Kuiguang" system itself.
To bestow the benefits and gains of fame, fortune, and success, this is the essence of the Kuiguang system. One must first achieve self-fulfillment before guiding other virtuous connections into the opportune destiny of return. Within the Kuiguang system, it is precisely by relying on the primary connection—guided by the "Star Lord of Kuixing"—that all original spirit disciples are led.
It is precisely because of the vow to propagate the primordial will that, even through repeated descents into the mundane world across lifetimes and cycles, there has been no celestial opportunity or favorable conditions to fulfill and propagate this vow. In each lifetime, each cycle, and each return, one carries with them a body full of dissatisfaction and a desire to return, yet constrained by the structure and purpose of heavenly mandate, it becomes difficult to propagate the great vow of the primordial origin.
Achieving self-fulfillment and aiding all original spirits and Buddha's disciples will not lead to a true return to the Wuji and Haotian realms. As these radiant, armored beings enter the human world, they become trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth—lifetime after lifetime, time after time, round after round, revolving within the mortal realm. And with each successive life, each repetition, they gradually erase the vows and great deeds accomplished in previous existences.
Armor is innate from birth.
Once again, everything is utterly forgotten, and some have long since lost their way. What should one do? How should one proceed? This is a state of being lost in the mundane world. Some may have gained an understanding of this great aspiration in previous eras or dynasties, but after all, such individuals are few and far between, and most are unable to fulfill their vows.
Now, the heavens are bringing these original spirit Buddhas of the "Kui Guang System" into the 21st century for a renewed journey. This is an opportunity for all in the human realm to once again truly fulfill their vows through the practice of propagating the Dharma. Such a divine opportunity and auspicious affinity must be realized through one's own efforts in carrying out the work of propagation and fulfilling one's vows.
It is precisely for the sake of truly carrying out the great sacred mission on behalf of Heaven, first accomplishing oneself and then guiding all original spirit Buddhas and disciples below—this is Heaven’s accomplishment of the celestial opportunity and good affinity in the 21st century. What era is it meant to lead into? And this condition lies within the karmic causes of the second cosmic cycle, which is accomplished precisely through the primordial vow-power of vast transformation.
Regarding those primordial spirit disciples who have entered the Earthly Obscure Star and can be guided back during this second kalpa, it can be said that there are nearly seven hundred million primordial spirit disciples. As for the remaining many who have not yet qualified, they must once again, in the third kalpa, undergo growth, cultivation, and transformation to achieve a transcendent return.
Kui Guang wearing armor is simply more enthusiastic.
Furthermore, among these primordial spiritual disciples of the Buddha, there are still over twenty million who are currently being reintroduced into the Earthly Star in the 21st century for renewed cultivation and transformation. Many among them carry abundant blessings and karmic affinities, entering the present human world. Some re-enter the human realm by virtue of blessings accumulated from their past lives.
For the most part, they are scattered and destitute, entering the human world because they failed all previous trials; it remains uncertain whether they will once again engage in cultivation and transformation in this world. Will there be more of them than the original spirit Buddha-children who were guided back during the previous Second Kalpa?
It will lead to greater growth and benefits, and is also related to how one acts in the present moment! Moreover, with over twenty million primordial spirit disciples of the Buddha, the beginning of the 21st century offers a chance to start anew, guided precisely by the Chongxin lineage as the foundation for salvation. This brings these primordial spirit disciples, radiant and steadfast, into the growth of "body, heart, and spirit."
Moreover, such conditions and circumstances can mutually facilitate genuine elevation and transcendence. Otherwise, within this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity, for the seven hundred million original spirit disciples guided back during the second kalpa, as well as the remaining mere twenty million or so, it is essential to achieve completion anew. This clarifies why such an approach is necessary.
The one with the radiance of the Big Dipper and the armor of a warrior is the one with the most discerning eyes.
Furthermore, these individuals, who will enter the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Zong Mai" in the future to undergo transformation anew, must begin from the heart. Only then can they genuinely embark on a journey toward themselves, seizing the divine opportunity and favorable conditions that will truly benefit their growth and development. This is aimed at enabling all returning primordial spirit Buddhas and disciples in the future to catch up with the Second Kalpa, achieving even greater transcendence and surpassing their current state.
Your current actions are of utmost importance, and thus the sacred tasks guided by the sixth phase of the Chongxin Sect's lineage, as decreed by divine will, are precisely to bring over twenty million armored warriors of radiant light into the Chongxin system. This grants them the fundamental cause to genuinely progress toward growth and elevation, thereby truly enabling those who were left behind as unqualified in the second kalpa to advance upward.
Once again, the energy body is being readjusted to its fullest potential, granting the divine opportunity to truly advance toward the mission of spreading enlightenment and guidance. It also provides a favorable moment to genuinely fulfill one's vows. Moreover, as you enter the lineage of the Yichong Chongxin Sect, a majority have arrived precisely due to such karmic connections! It is essential for all to unite and form a great collective dedicated to the cause of spreading enlightenment.
It enables one to guide oneself, first establishing a great cause for growth and elevation, which is the genuine way to achieve one's own future. Only by first accomplishing oneself can one then accomplish all future sentient beings and original spiritual Buddha-seeds. I wonder if you all can comprehend this divine opportunity and excellent affinity? For sentient human beings, there will be virtuous and favorable causes and conditions, which will also genuinely benefit themselves.
The Great Dao elucidates the mysteries of heaven and earth;  
Its vast transformation and guidance are certain to be realized.
In the second primordial epoch, strive to pursue once more;  
Growth and return rely on oneself.
The Radiant Light, clad in armor, makes a grand vow,  
Fully aware of the great karmic cause from Heaven above.
Understanding what must be done,  
Gathering completion, returning to transcendence and manifestation.
This verse is shared among all sentient beings and fellow Buddhists for mutual encouragement. Why does Heaven repeatedly and continuously elevate your thought systems? It is to enable you to understand your primordial vows made in past lives. Entering this mundane world is precisely a great opportunity for genuine self-elevation, return, and transcendence.
Otherwise, in the next life, if one is reborn into the human world, I fear the suffering and hardships will only increase! Today, this old monk has returned once more, and I am here to guide you! I must trouble everyone to bring in the fruits that are more abundant from earlier, so that they may be blessed, granting you greater growth and benefits. Therefore, I first bestow upon you the great cause for growth. Thank you all for accompanying me in this work. Farewell!
The Celestial Worthy of the Limitless Good Path
The Celestial Venerable of the Boundless Good Path arrives,  
Carried by the Ancient Buddha of Southern Screen, Daoji.
The Brilliant Light, armored, forges a great destiny;  
Spreading enlightenment and fulfilling vows, Heaven's virtue is arrayed.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the principal immortal Buddha of the Great Tao series celestial texts—the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoist Salvation—has descended to compose the thirty-third chapter of "Great Tao Heaven and Earth." The celestial secret of bearing the armor of radiant excellence is revealed within the mortal world, specifically for all of you, bestowing the benevolent opportunity of virtuous celestial destiny.
Why must we guide and lead the four billion sentient beings of the Buddhist faith, and borrow over two million scientific and technological talents? If we cannot do so, how can we align with the Second Epoch? All your present scientific and technological civilization is meant to connect with the advancements of the Second Epoch, thereby creating blessings for the human world—this is the true nature of reality!

Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The Great Way of the Southern Sea delivers all beings;  
The sea and sky, one hue, are the essence of the spirit.
The ancient path, now passed down, is restored anew;  
The Buddha's words, borne by vow, are presented once more.
第卅四回　  乘願再來
The one who rides the vow of the primordial great vow-power
"Restoring the Ancient and Gathering the Perfected," "Universal Salvation and Gathering the Perfected," and "The Five Teachings Gathering the Perfected" reveal that these sacred missions of the Great Dao are guided by the will of Heaven. They are ultimately aligned with Heaven's overarching responsibility for universal transformation. Within this, distinctions exist among various systems: the Innate Descending to the Mortal Realm, the Vow-Borne Return, and the Radiant Vanguard Bearing Armor, among others.
This is also a manifestation of the great vow to propagate the primordial teachings, once again carrying this vow into the mundane world. It is precisely through this "radiance of the guiding star, clad in armor" that it enters the present world, aiming to rectify its own shortcomings and inadequacies. Having traversed the vast expanse of time and space, it has long accumulated numerous impurities and defilements, rendering it incapable of achieving clarity and purification.
Even if one were to descend once again to the Earthly Realm star system, there would still be much that could be refined and transformed within this lifetime. However, most are ensnared by the dazzling illusions of the mundane world, which obscure their innate spiritual essence. Time and again, they remain confined to the Earthly Realm star system, merely sustaining existence without true awakening.
There are those who have long lost the path back to their original home! Relying on different systems and lacking in many aspects, they thus descend to the planet Diming to readjust and revise. It is about whether, through their own actions, they can truly ascend once more or have already become lost in the mundane world.
The System of Various Conditions and Causes
Even if there are many, it is by carrying the blessings of past lives that they enter the Earthly Star to nurture life. Because the blessings and affinities from previous lives still hold many fortunes, they can use them to repair and adjust this worldly human realm. Through repeated cycles, and further limited by the mutual interactions of the Earthly Star, all obstacles can be dissolved.
The originally bright and luminous, perfectly pure innate spirit can become instantly tainted with numerous impurities. To achieve purification, it is inevitably necessary to make distinctions based on the orientation of existence. This is also because some individuals, carrying blessings from past lives, enter the present life with many conditions and karmic affinities endowed with virtue and merit.
Moreover, a small portion of one's nobility and wealth is carried into this life, but the greater part has already been exhausted in past lives. Upon entering the mundane world in this lifetime to sustain life, one thus finds oneself in utter poverty. However, for the original spirit and Buddha's children who descend into the mundane world, from the perspective of the Heavenly Realm, future blessings and fortunes are advanced and lent in advance, enabling them to sustain life with warmth and nourishment.
If one can view what is borrowed from Heaven as an opportunity to add rather than subtract, then through each and every cycle, while nourishing life in the human world, one may also find peace and freedom from worry! This is precisely what allows all original spirit Buddhas of the great cosmos to enter the Earthly Star to nurture life.
Returning by vow to widely deliver all sentient beings.
With the ability to make personal choices, each religion can be practiced with adjustments, allowing everyone to engage in any religious cultivation to genuinely transform their negative predispositions. For this reason, the heavens have bestowed numerous religious sects and lineages, particularly through the integration of the Five Teachings, which encompass all religions in the world today, and this is what is referred to as cultivation.
This is to fulfill the sacred duty entrusted by Heaven, allowing these vow-bearing beings to return once more, and to offer the impurities accumulated from past lives in the primordial realm a chance for renewed purification and refinement. Within the primordial world, there exist inherent negative energies, which is why, time and again, across countless cycles of time and space, they must return to begin anew.
Time after time, adding a little more each round, within each vast expanse of time and space, one is already covered in filth. How could there be an energy body capable of mutual existence that could dwell in the primordial world? Impossible! It is precisely because the filth runs deep that one must descend into the human world, undergo purification anew, and thereby ascend and transcend.
It is about rectifying and transforming one's own shortcomings and deficiencies. One must enter the realm of the Earthly Star of Darkness to truly understand the depth of one's own impurities. Such beings who return by vow are unable to immediately restore their primordial energy bodies, and thus must resolve all their peculiar habits and stubborn temperaments to eliminate the underlying issues.
Rectifying the negative aspects of one's innate disposition.
One can only allow oneself to exist and survive within the earthly realm; this is precisely why sentient beings and original spirit disciples of Buddha remain trapped in the human world. If one can seize the opportune moment and favorable conditions to enter the realm of transformation and elevation, it is certain that in this very lifetime, one can rectify one’s shortcomings and deficiencies.
It is essential to understand that the human world is constrained by mutual interactions. The fundamental reason why all sentient beings and Buddhist disciples are unable to truly return to the boundless realm of the Primal Truth or the ethereal world lies precisely in this. Only by embracing the correct direction can one genuinely elevate oneself and achieve a return that transcends all limitations.
It is precisely through the grand transformation system of Heaven that it shares the same function and role as the "Kui Guang Dai Jia." This is because "Kui Guang Dai Jia" is founded upon an innate great vow, pledging to the Limitless Heavenly Mother with a firm commitment to enter the mortal world, first achieving self-realization and then fostering the growth of all Buddhist disciples.
If we consider "Kui Guang Dai Jia" alongside those who have vowed to return, the former is like pounding one's chest to give a guarantee, while the latter descend with deep impurities to cultivate anew and transform themselves. However, if we speak of those who have vowed to return, it can be said that there are now nearly two billion original spirit disciples of the Buddha among these returnees who have entered the Earthly Star.
Once again, may all that is good and virtuous flourish and increase.
It is precisely because of the general populace that there exist numerous shortcomings and deficiencies. Hence, it is inevitable to embark on this journey once more, allowing these two billion primordial spiritual disciples of Buddha to enter the mortal world. Only by descending into the Star of Earthly Obscurity can they come to understand just how deeply ingrained their impurities and defiled consciousness truly are.
If one has deep karmic connections, they are certain to enter a religion within the next few lifetimes to undergo transformation. However, among those who enter religion, can they truly use their faith to reform and transform themselves? Not necessarily! Among those who engage in religious practice, the majority often end up completely defeated.
If one considers cultivation as merely the refinement of one's innate "natural disposition, habits, inertia, and personality," then it would be exceedingly difficult to transcend and ascend back to the Wuji Heavenly Realm or the realm of emptiness within a single lifetime. Moreover, upon entering this mundane world, some have long lost their innate primordial spirit, remaining deeply entrenched in the turbid and impure world of the five defilements.
Therefore, one cannot achieve great deeds of return for oneself. If one nourishes the negative habits deeply rooted in one's original spirit, and observes this current temporal environment, it is fundamentally impossible to attain elevation, let alone transcendence, return, perfection, or surpassing. What then can be accomplished upon entering the human world?
Once more, to widely deliver all sentient beings with affection.
This can be explained as follows: why do all the masters manifest in this temporal and causal realm within the mundane world? It is precisely because of the mutual connections among those with shared affinities, who guide and draw one another through actions. This brings back the original twenty billion spiritual Buddha-children of the past, leading them once again to cultivate through religion. This is made possible by the virtuous and favorable affinities between the master and the Buddha of Correct Dharma Brightness, Namo Zhengfa Ming Rulai.
It is precisely through appearing in every household that Guanyin Bodhisattva manifests mutual fulfillment. You may now carefully observe why Guanyin Bodhisattva is present in every household—the reason lies herein. Moreover, this applies to all religions without distinction, including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
It can be said: Guanyin manifests in various religions, guiding all actions, and this is especially true in the Yiguan Tiandao. Moreover, for those who have entered into religious cultivation, if they cannot further elevate their own conditions and causes, then it is fundamentally impossible to achieve a transcendent action within a single lifetime.
Since the divine decree has established the policy, there are actions to be implemented. It can be said: it is even more true to reality! There is no need to distinguish whether it is the original spiritual disciples of systems such as "Restoring the Ancient and Gathering the Perfected, Universally Saving and Gathering the Perfected, or the Five Teachings Gathering the Perfected." After entering religion, they must be perfected and elevated. It is essential to enter religion and reform their own shortcomings and deficiencies anew.
Reincarnation by Vow in the Buddhist System
You should further contemplate in detail why the Chongxin Sect lineage's Great Tao series of celestial books have been bestowed upon the human world through the great cause of receiving the sacred decree from the Eternal Heavenly Mother by your teacher and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoist Salvation. This is precisely out of concern for these more than 420 million primordial spirit disciples.
To cultivate the seeds of great causes for elevation and transcendence, it also involves the other four systems, guided by the sacred Buddhas of other religions. Moreover, it does not differentiate between the actions of returning, transcending, perfecting, or surpassing. These distinctions among the systems can unite into a great force, enabling the transcendence of both the Ninety-Two Original Spirits and the Ninety-Six Original Spirits.
In truth, it is defined by the numbers of Qian and Kun, Yin and Yang, and is certainly not as you understand it: the original spirits of Nine-Two and Nine-Six are not the correct numbers. Only by comprehending the great causes and conditions within these systems can one truly understand. Moreover, for all human beings, the key lies in how to ascend, grow, and transcend—this is the true nature of reality!
Otherwise, in entering the human world, you would only know to practice cultivation, without understanding the origins and intricate connections of all primal causes and conditions. How then could you comprehend your true mission? Thus, it is necessary to manifest the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" in the mortal world, so that all sentient beings and original spirit children may benefit from them in accordance with reality.
The ancient cycle of the primordial era returns,  
The universal salvation and completion have long since begun.
The five teachings converge in perfect equality, returning to transcendence and bearing the great Dao.
The Guiding Light dons armor and pounds his chest,  
With a vow to return, never alone in his quest.
Innate purity tarnished by earthly descent,  
Transforming faith, Heaven's virtue attends.
This verse! Let us encourage each other, fellow sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha’s children, to understand why we have been entrusted by Heaven with duties and missions and sent into the human world. We must come to recognize our own shortcomings and deficiencies—what causes them? And why did we descend? It is essential that we are convinced wholeheartedly; otherwise, some among us may blame heaven and others, facing endless trials and tribulations without knowing how to endure.
Moreover, an entire lifetime passes without truly understanding how to correct one's own shortcomings and deficiencies, only to return for another lifetime—do you wish for this? If you can comprehend the key principles and issues at stake, and understand where the crux lies, then you can transform yourself, elevate, and transcend. This is my hope! I am grateful for everyone’s companionship in this work and for the time spent with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!
Supreme Commander of the Dipper, Marshal Ma Sheng.
The origins of the Wuji are inherently distinct;  
The celestial virtue of the Doukou Lingguan is upheld.
Marshal Ma Sheng takes his turn on duty,  
Together with virtuous students, the Great Dao is widely promoted.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the spiritual cultivation scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Institute. Today, the Great Dao Heavenly and Earthly Lord has dispatched the ancient Buddha of the South Sea to descend and compose the thirty-fourth chapter of "The Great Dao Heaven and Earth." This will elevate all karmic connections and manifest them in the mortal world, allowing you to truly understand how to conduct yourselves in the future.
Why is it necessary for the Namo Zhengfa Ming Rulai Buddha to manifest as the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea (Guanyin Bodhisattva) in the Saha World? It is precisely for the sake of these sentient beings, the original spiritual Buddha-children, to enter the system of purification, enabling them to truly attain elevation and transcendence one day. This is the great virtue and grace of all the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers.
If not, in the next life, time and again, I fear it may truly harm you all! It is uncertain whether such a divine opportunity and favorable conditions will arise again in the next life, allowing you to enter the extraordinary affinity of the Buddha and saints descending to manifest in the world. This is precisely what must be grasped firmly in the present moment! Do you understand? I wish you all blessings and peace. Farewell!

The Great Path of Nankai, a scripture of heaven and earth;  
The Supreme Brightness, the grand course of the Way.
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara descends in solemn ceremony,  
From the primordial heavens to dwell among mortals on earth.
第卅五回  　先天落凡
Different Systems of the Innate Realm
"Restoring the Ancient and Gathering the Perfected," "Universal Salvation and Gathering the Perfected," and "Gathering the Perfected of the Five Teachings"—though belonging to different systems, all share the aspiration to achieve genuine efficacy and benefit. Thus, within the great causes and conditions bestowed by Heaven, it becomes clear whether each system of gathering the perfected can, through its own actions, attain elevation, growth, and transcendence.
In response: Regarding the retro, universal salvation, and the completion of the five teachings, one can understand the various causes and conditions under which they are disseminated. This precisely distinguishes those who are "bearing the light and armor," "descended from the primordial realm," or "returning by vow." Among these, there are also parts that encompass all three. Moreover, from the perspective of the present day, it is within these systems of bearing the light and armor, returning by vow, or descending from the primordial realm.
It is essential to understand why one must descend. Precisely because one's own energy body cannot remain in the cosmos, the void, or the realm of the Limitless Heaven. Therefore, carrying one's own full burden of filth and defiled consciousness, one directly descends to the Haotian star system for an extended period, where filth and defiled consciousness continue to accumulate, eventually becoming overwhelming.
Descending directly to the mortal realm of the Earthly Nether Star System for reformation, this process of reformation, in the current era, is carried out through the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Sect Lineage" as a collective assembly for widespread transformation. It is also referred to by the Great Luo Heaven Realm of the Supreme Heaven, and can be described as the Wuji and Void Heaven Realm indeed! Humanity fundamentally remains unable to comprehend this.
The Great Cause of Descending from Heaven to the Mortal Realm
This kind of entry into the Great Luo Heavenly Realm is still based on the terminology of the past. If we speak of the Great Luo Heavenly Realm in the present era, it becomes impossible to grasp an understanding of the current age. Furthermore, the Supreme Deity has altered the terminology used for the present era, referring to it as the Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Heavenly Realm, in relation to the primordial karma entering the human world.
The process of restoration involves repairing with the innate filth and defiled consciousness that one originally possesses. If one's heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions are excellent, they may achieve restoration in a single lifetime, followed by return and transcendence. However, if the heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions are poor, one may undergo repeated cycles of rebirth in the human world, lifetime after lifetime. It is essential to understand this principle of heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions.
How can one enter into the lineage of the great karmic body bestowed by Heaven to cultivate and transform? Is it possible to have such a divine opportunity and favorable affinity that can create distinctions? This divine opportunity and favorable affinity enter the human world, granting sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's disciples the chance to ascend and transcend. It is through present cultivation and transformation that one follows the true path!
If it is difficult to achieve return and transcendence in one lifetime, one will hope for another chance in the next life, to remake everything in this existence! Moreover, the tainted consciousness of the Primordial Wuji, the Void, and the Great Cosmic Celestial Realm (that is, the Great Luo Celestial Realm) must be readjusted and reformed, ascending and surpassing to higher growth.
The Realm of the Primordial, Where Humanity First Emerged
This distinguishes whether, upon entering the human realm, one may encounter the opportune conditions of celestial destiny, determining whether in a single lifetime one can return to transcendence or sink into the human world. Consequently, there are far too many who are unable to transcend and return, whether in one lifetime, two lifetimes, and so on... thus forming an endless cycle of cultivation and adjustment.
To once again reform and eliminate one's own ignorance and obstacles is precisely what remains confined and hindered within the Earthly Star of Darkness, and it is precisely this kind of karma that extends! Moreover, whether all karmic conditions are fulfilled after descending into the mortal world also involves a readjustment for everyone entering the human realm. It is essential to understand one's own shortcomings and deficiencies—what are they?
It is precisely because of this incomprehensibility that the reasons and processes behind why one was cast down cannot exist within the realms of the Wuji, the Void, or the Great Cosmic Heaven. Therefore, after being cast down, it is precisely a body of energy in a state of fivefold decay and illusory form that continuously descends into the Haotian Star System, persisting for a long period of time thereafter.
To descend once more into the survival of the Earthly Nether Star System—if this celestial mechanism and karmic connection are not clearly elucidated, it becomes impossible to comprehend the entirety of its origins and consequences. Knowing only one aspect without grasping the other, with regard to all causes and effects within the human world, one can no longer return to the celestial realm of previous existence. This is precisely where it begins.
All actions after descending to the mortal world.
Furthermore, regarding the human world and human factors, why do these fallen sentient original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the Haotian Star System—due to their own inadequacies and deficiencies—descend once more into the Diming Star to cultivate anew, reform, and improve? This forms the great cause and condition for the present era, as initiated by the Supreme Heaven, to return to the Supreme Heaven: the realms of the cosmos, the void, and the Wuji world.
It is precisely—by the sacred decree of the Heavenly Mother, the Chongxin lineage!—that the karmic connections of the systems of "restoring antiquity to gather completion, universal salvation to gather completion, and the five teachings to gather completion" are assembled to form a great power for propagation. These are further distinguished as part of the "radiant vanguard in armor," among the first and second groups, comprising over twenty million beings who aspire to achieve the return of sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha-children.
Entering the present era, some have long fallen into the realm of the Underworld Star System, and those who have endured over a hundred lifetimes are countless. Moreover, for these individuals who have undergone more than a hundred lifetimes, upon entering the human world, they have long forgotten where they came from and how they might return. Thus, they become trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, lifetime after lifetime, bound by its ceaseless rotation.
Moreover, being perpetually reincarnated in the human world makes it fundamentally difficult to truly return to the auspicious opportunities of the Wuji, the Void, and the celestial realms of the great cosmos. Observing this karmic circumstance, the Wuji Huangmu thus consulted with Namo Dipankara Buddha and further deliberated with the Void Ascendant, ultimately borrowing the assistance of their old friend, Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha.
After descending to the mortal world, one must inevitably grow.
Emotional intelligence is temporarily transferred into the human world to guide and transform these troops of radiant warriors clad in armor. Together, they vow to return once more, as these two billion sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha-children—regardless of whether they are cultivators within the five teachings or among the four billion Buddha-children who descended from the primordial realm—are all reintroduced into the path of return, transcendence, and perfect, surpassing enlightenment.
The formation of entering the human world for cultivation and propagation means that after descending into the mundane realm, one becomes unable to comprehend how to elevate oneself upward. Consequently, it becomes impossible to resonate with the frequency of Heaven, and one remains deficient in overcoming the obstacles to the five supernatural powers. Lost in the dazzling scenes of prosperity within the human world, it becomes exceedingly difficult to ascend and return.
It is through entering the mundane world that one undergoes refinement and trials. By gradually purifying oneself from the filth and defilements accumulated, one engages in the "process of purification" combined with "tranquil contemplation." This transforms the constructs of thought lost in the human world, allowing for genuine growth.
Starting anew, immerse yourself within your own system of contemplation. First, grant yourself the fulfillment of the Yogācāra theory, and through subsequent theoretical reflection, a conceptual framework will be established. By deepening the roots of these thoughts and concepts, you can provide yourself with the driving force for initiating intentions and stirring the mind—that is, to achieve what you rely upon through the power of action.
Different are the missions of those descended from the heavens.
First, take action yourself, then proceed to cultivate and transform. This involves the entire process of changing one's inherent negative dispositions. It is a step-by-step approach to self-refinement and transformation, also directed at one's own conduct. Furthermore, in the human world, which is grounded in the realm of actual phenomena, it is through human effort in cultivation and change that the conditions for upward growth are established.
Rather than elevating humans to the status of deities, the aim is to allow humans to truly be themselves. It is essential to understand that the "spiritual power of heavenly wisdom" is, in fact, the accumulated energy from one's past, which one has long forgotten. Coupled with the distractions and actions of the mundane world, it becomes difficult to transform one's flawed thought systems, resulting in an eternal existence confined to the realm of Earthly Darkness.
It is precisely after descending into the world that one must understand why there was a primordial fall from grace. Moreover, those who have traversed the Haotian interstellar galaxy, spanning nearly over two billion light-years, have once again entered the realm of the Diming star system. Some have also descended into planetary bodies similar to the Diming star, undergoing transformation anew.
Moreover, for those who enter the Earthly Nether Star or other star systems, they carry with them all their own inadequacies and deficiencies. This also allows these karmic connections to be reformed anew, granting them the necessary understanding of why they have entered the Earthly Nether Star System for reformation. This is the great compassionate virtue and grace of the Heavenly Sovereign.
To descend from the primordial state, one must undertake cultivation anew.
If in one's lifetime, one can reform the flawed deficiencies and inadequate concepts and actions, then in the next life, one is certain to achieve transcendence. This is the true path and also the most sublime essence of the fundamental will of Heaven. However, what is most feared is the fundamental difficulty of changing one's own flaws and shortcomings.
And so, the beings of this world once again enter the realm of the Earthly Star System, embarking anew on the cycle of rebirth. Such is the nature of the world of sentient beings. Why are there so many original spirit Buddhas and disciples engaging in the actions of nurturing life? And where do they all come from? It is because within the Earthly Star, there already exist nearly thirty billion sentient original spirit Buddhas and disciples.
Within the realm of Dimingxing, the underworld alone contains nearly fifteen billion sentient beings, original spirit Buddhas. In your human world, there are only about seven billion sentient beings, original spirit Buddhas. Combined with other species, the total number of sentient beings, original spirit children, approaches ten billion, with these other species accounting for nearly ten billion.
What you consume daily are all beings that repeatedly cycle through the human realm, as sentient original spirits fall into the six paths of existence, one after another! Furthermore, let it be known to you that on the star of Diming alone, there are nearly thirty billion sentient original spirits; together with other star systems, the total exceeds two hundred billion sentient original spirits, all returning once more to cultivate and realign themselves!
Born into the mortal world from the celestial realm,  
One must cultivate virtue anew and add to its wealth.
The lineage of the Heart's Devotion guides as the master, leading the way back to the primordial origin.
The radiance of the Northern Dipper, clad in armor, brings forth vast transformation;  
Riding on a vow to return, the words of Heavenly Virtue are spoken anew.
Born of heaven, fallen to earth—so what?  
Transform oneself, and one may still ascend.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas for mutual encouragement. The celestial secrets and good affinities that allow you to understand all the origins and outcomes have already descended into the human world. How to reform and renew oneself is precisely the primary mission of the Chongxin lineage. This is absolutely not something that falls from the sky, but a process of taking one step at a time, leaving a solid footprint with each stride, verifying through every imprint! Thank you all for your hard work. May all be auspicious. Farewell!
The Supreme Commander of the Vast Firmament, Celestial Lord Wang.
Marshal Wang, the Divine Officer of Huoluo, ascends the platform to gather with all sentient beings.
The Great Ancestral Master came to write the sacred texts, descending from the primordial realm to guide and deliver the multitude.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Dao Heaven and Earth Lord has dispatched the Patriarch of the True Lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namas Dipankara, to descend and return, to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of "Great Dao Heaven and Earth." This will re-illuminate the great cause and condition of the primordial descending into the mundane, providing a thorough clarification for your ignorance.
This is to make it clear to you why these systems are necessary: they are the means by which the primordial essence descends into the mundane world to cultivate and transform anew. Without the divine opportunity and favorable conditions bestowed by Heaven, it is rare indeed for one to cultivate and transform oneself to return to the origin! Now, Heaven has imparted these divine opportunities and favorable conditions into the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
So that you may truly understand the origins and context, it is not merely to have you enter religion for cultivation life after life; that is not the fundamental original intent of Heaven. You must understand that being able to enter the Yichong Xintian lineage in this lifetime is precisely the great cause and extraordinary opportunity for Heaven to descend and manifest its teachings.
Those who are able to cherish this opportunity are those who, in this very lifetime and this very world, can truly return to the boundless, the void, and the celestial realm of the great cosmos to ride freely in transcendence! This will enable one to ascend and surpass, growing upward. I appreciate everyone’s hard work in accompanying this endeavor. If today’s sacred teachings can be explained in detail and with accuracy, that is the true path. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

Venerable Master of the Void — Namo Venerable Ancient Buddha of the Void, Virtuous Among Humans and Celestials
In the illusory world, teachings are imparted; amidst empty cycles of cause and effect, the heart's blossoms are nurtured by principle.
The Sage descends to establish heaven and earth,  
Organizing and compiling to expand the transformative chariot.
第卅六回　 整編集結
The grace of the heavens harmonizes and unites all lineages.
The practice of "restoring the ancient and gathering the complete, universally saving and gathering the complete, and unifying the five teachings to gather the complete" makes it clear that to genuinely propagate and transform each individual, it is essential to use the true principles of the Great Dao as the framework. Furthermore, it must be promoted through the fundamental virtues and blessings bestowed by Heaven, without distinguishing between "those guided by the light and bearing the armor," "those who return by vow," or "the sentient beings and original spirits of Buddhas and disciples who descend from the primordial realm."
If one can attain ascension and transcendence, it is precisely by bringing this celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity to evolve within the mundane world. How can one comprehend all the origins and intricacies? This establishes the fundamental framework for all original spirit Buddhas and disciples in the present era to achieve accomplishment. It is through the elevation and transcendence of the 21st century that auspicious and virtuous causes and conditions for ascension and transcendence can be realized.
Otherwise, relying solely on religious scriptures would have led to significant distortions by now, making it difficult to return to the original foundational intentions of the Five Sages when they established their teachings. Hence, the obstacles encountered in the human world also stem from this. It is through the interaction of "restoring antiquity and gathering completion, universal salvation and gathering completion, and the gathering completion of the Five Teachings" that all systems can truly be realized.
It serves as a means for learning and growth, and for all compassionate Buddhist disciples, regardless of whether they are "endowed with brilliance and armor, returning by vow, or descending from the primordial realm," it offers an opportunity to enter into genuine, transcendent elevation in the present moment. Moreover, it provides humanity with a heavenly opportunity and favorable conditions to engage in learning and growth, thereby advancing toward greater potential for development.
The Compilation of Different Systems of Divine Grace from Heaven
Granting the great cause of return in the 21st century for evolution, this is the boundless compassion and virtuous grace bestowed by Heaven upon all sentient beings. In the course of evolution during the 21st century, it is essential to understand how one should, in the present moment, return to all attachments. The Chongxin Sect and its lineage hall have thus undertaken the solemn responsibility entrusted by Heaven to evolve within the mundane world.
It is not about distinguishing between systems such as "Returning to Antiquity and Gathering Completion," "Gathering Completion of the Five Teachings," "Universal Salvation and Gathering Completion," or "Kui Guang Carrying Armor," "Returning with a Vow," and "Descending from the Primordial Realm." What is essential is the act of reorganization—a genuine and thorough compilation and consolidation that can truly return to and transcend the divine opportunities and favorable conditions, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
It becomes clear why there are such extraordinary conditions and affinities for composing the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," and why the Heavens have bestowed these texts. They are meant to help everyone understand how to purify their thoughts and consciousness, and to genuinely provide a great opportunity for ascension and transcendence.
If not in this manner, what other cause and condition could lead to return? There is indeed no such heavenly opportunity or favorable affinity. When sentient original spirit Buddha-children enter the human world, they are constrained by all the mutual limitations of the Earthly Obscure Star, unable to use mutual elevation as a foundation. This is precisely the obstacle that sentient human beings cannot overcome.
Reorganization must yield functional benefits.
Thus, it becomes impossible to clearly discern that within the dark stars, there exist obstacles of mutual limitation and opposition, yet they also foster mutual growth and elevation. This presents a profound paradox for the human world: it is only through humanity’s journey toward greater growth and transcendence that the true nature of reality can be realized! This is precisely aimed at enabling all sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s disciples within the vast cosmos, to ride beyond and transcend.
Without distinguishing whether it is the first primordial kalpa, the second primordial kalpa, or the present third primordial kalpa in which manifestations have appeared in the human world, all these, regardless of any system, also pertain to all original spirit Buddha-children in the human realm: how do they organize themselves into which system? Which karma? Which religion? Which lineage of faith?
All of these are manifestations and opportunities for learning and growth through one's own innate potential and favorable conditions. After learning and growing within the framework of one's current religious beliefs, one can further demonstrate this through the internet. This transcends the teachings of the Dadao series classics and specifically addresses the karmic connections of the Dadao series writings. It is about bringing such precious spiritual resources down to the human world.
Humanity has entered the 21st century.
Furthermore, to all the original spirit Buddhas and disciples who have entered the Earthly Nether Star System, it is offered the opportunity to genuinely ascend and transcend through the technological civilization of the 21st century, rather than merely focusing on survival within the human world! To forever remain unable to truly advance toward the benchmark of transcendence and return would indeed be a great pity.
This is the sacred mission bestowed by Heaven upon the Chongxin lineage of the Great Dao. It can be said that this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity has been bestowed through the virtuous grace of the Supreme Jade Emperor Haotian, the Mysterious and Exalted Shangdi, and is also accomplished together with the Supreme Mother of Wuji. Together, they elevate all different systems and all sentient beings with affection in the 21st century, guiding them toward upward growth.
It is by borrowing over two million high-tech talents from extraterrestrial star systems, who descend to the Earth Star to "research, invent, and create," that all flawed products among sentient human beings are to be repaired and refined. This is to grant the original spiritual Buddha-children who have descended into sentient existence an opportunity for reorganization, allowing them to be integrated into different religious systems.
Thus, it can be integrated into each system, offering opportunities for ascension and transcendence. What the Chongxin lineage undertakes is precisely to bring the teachings of Namo Lixin Guangming Liuli Rulai Buddha down to the Yichi Chongxin Hall. The revelation of heavenly secrets and the composition of the Daode Series of Celestial Books are not **bestowed out of thin air**, but rather part of the **established policy** of the heavens.
Only with a foundation of moral transformation can goodness grow soundly.
This is to elevate the achievements of the Diming Star over the hundred-year span from the 21st to the 30th century! It is to compile and gather, after reorganization, the works of the Great Dao series that enable understanding of their origins. This means not distinguishing among any religions—be they Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam—so that one may enter into the gathering and dissemination of great transformative power.
This convergence lies in the manifestation of a single force, which serves as the fundamental condition for the propagation of teachings—it is a step-by-step, solid, and unwavering process. Moreover, for those in the human world who can gather together, there exists a great karmic affinity from the ethereal celestial realms to uplift them. If you carefully observe the Chongxin lineage over the past decade, you will see how this propagation has served to guide and lead.
Whether to enable everyone to genuinely enhance the accumulation of wisdom is precisely about allowing you to truly "illuminate the mind, perceive the nature, attain enlightenment, and realize the fruit" through the extraordinary and rare descent of the supreme Heaven's profound "Heavenly Wisdom" into the mortal world. From another perspective, it is about whether it offers you the accumulation in "learning, growth, harvest, and benefit."
It is precisely because you possess the "Heavenly Wisdom Penetration" that, with this as the foundational framework, you can further comprehend the insights of "clarifying the mind, seeing one’s nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit." This enables you to truly understand the origins and connections, enter the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, and experience for yourselves the return, transcendence, fulfillment, and ascension.
The fundamental role of gathering and disseminating teachings.
This is what truly enables you to advance toward the grand direction and goal, and what allows you to gather and amplify great strength in spreading the teachings! The human world is not merely for eating, drinking, excretion, trivialities, and sleep—so what have you come to this world to accomplish? For those who bear the sacred duties entrusted by Heaven, how should they genuinely fulfill their merits and realize their vows?
To you all: making vows, fulfilling vows, and expanding vows can truly provide the support needed to carry out sacred duties and missions. It also depends on whether, upon entering the human world, you can engage in propagation and gathering. Moreover, for you to achieve ascension and transcendence, it is essential to genuinely elevate the primary causes and conditions within the three aspects of "self-heart, spirit, and body."
Thus, the original spirit Buddhas and disciples of the 1990s can stride toward greater elevation; otherwise, how could the advancements of contemporary technological civilization be surpassed, allowing you and future generations to attain greater well-being? This is precisely the fundamental framework provided by the Heavenly Realm for the compassionate original spirit Buddhas and disciples of the 21st century to propagate the Great Dao, and it is indeed so.
Moreover, the lineage of the Heart Sect does not undertake the work of gathering completion; instead, it emphasizes elevation through return, allowing the task of gathering completion to be carried out by all religions across the vast universe. This is promoted through the action of propagation and elevation, which involves advancing and transcending the various systems of "restoring antiquity to gather completion, universal salvation to gather completion, and the five teachings to gather completion" in accordance with truth.
The Complete Compilation of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth
Through the diligent practice of responsibilities by various religious sects and lineages, the promotion of these teachings in the human world is realized. This is precisely aimed at aiding your growth and elevation as you enter the 21st century, and also enabling your great convergence and integration within a single system. It is precisely the great karmic affinity of the Yichong Chongxin Sect lineage, personally appointed by the Supreme Heaven—how extraordinary and transcendent it is.
It is correct to elevate the world and humanity, rather than bypassing the comprehensive system of human livelihood and sustenance. This is the duty that the Chongxin lineage should undertake and implement. According to the established policies set by the Void, the Wuji, and the Haotian over a decade ago, it is mandated that the Haotian directly conveys its directives to the administrative units of the Southern Heaven.
The Supreme Emperor of Literary Merit, the Ruler of the Southern Heaven, Guan Sheng, undertook this sacred task to propagate teachings and elevate humanity. Thirty years ago in the heavenly realm of Haotian, the Bodhisattva Huixian was dispatched to seek out all leaders in the mortal world for selection. It was through this karmic connection that they entered the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. Precisely because of this, the Supreme Emperor of Literary Merit, the Ruler of the Southern Heaven, strongly advocated and secured this great sacred mission.
Offering the true lineage of the Chongxin Sect to bear the profound responsibilities and duties entrusted by Heaven, this extraordinary opportunity arises precisely from the convergence of the divine missions of the Void, the Wuji, and Haotian, which are interwoven with the heavenly mysteries of Chongxin. It is through this great karmic connection, dedicated to the composition of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," that such a noble mission can be undertaken for elevation and advancement.
All religions have their own good causes and conditions.
Furthermore, future sentient beings and disciples of the Buddha may engage in contemplation and transformation, truly understanding where humanity comes from, what it does, and what actions it should take to follow the right path. Regarding all such matters, there are functional benefits for the present era. Yet, when viewed through the lens of ancient scriptures: to aspire to liberate all sentient beings is undoubtedly nothing more than a fool's dream.
If one cannot clearly understand the divine providence and good affinity bestowed by Heaven, what then is the purpose of all the original intentions and structures? It will inevitably make it impossible for the sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of the present to truly comprehend what follows after "restoring the ancient ways and gathering completion," "universal salvation and gathering completion," and "the gathering completion of the five teachings." It is essential to truly grasp the fundamental structure of Heaven.
Only with genuine ability can one, in dealing with these original spirit disciples, truly ascend and transcend the great celestial mysteries. This also grants you the true, all-encompassing great karmic affinity to move toward perfect harmony! Within all the conditions of this great affinity, it is certain that one can ascend, grow, and transcend—moreover, benefiting from what one has gained in return.
The original intent of the Dao is the source of heaven and earth;  
The fundamental era is to restore the ancient and gather the complete.
The great celestial secret of universal salvation and the completion of the cycle—the fulfillment of the Five Teachings in the completion of the cycle is assured.
The system of the Radiant Armor,  
Returning by vow to realize oneself.
One must be clear about the innate nature descending into the mundane world;  
Modifying one's habits can lead to becoming a vessel of worth.
This verse! Let us encourage each other, fellow sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha's children, to integrate the fundamental structure of Heaven as a great cause and condition, so that you may truly understand all the basic intentions and structures of Heaven. Regarding the work "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth," it has reached thirty-six chapters thus far. All the hardships endured are sincerely appreciated by everyone.
It is precisely to fully impart the extraordinary affinities of heaven and earth into the series of celestial books, providing sentient beings with genuine opportunities to benefit and grow. The next volume is even more splendid, as it holds greater aspirations for your future and reveals the auspicious heavenly opportunities for fulfilling vows, thereby enabling all harmonious actions after the completion of the great union to be carried out with utmost authenticity. Thank you all!

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is now complete,  
The Great Dao's predestined affinity is verified from the primordial origin.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow spiritual cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Orthodox Chairman of our lineage, the Supreme Being of the Void, has descended to compose the thirty-sixth chapter of "The Great Tao of Heaven and Earth." This work consolidates and summarizes the Great Tao of Heaven and Earth, establishing the fundamental framework for the Chongxin lineage to guide four hundred million disciples of the Buddha and the ninety-two original souls in the future.
It has long been clearly revealed in the sacred texts of the Great Dao and the cosmos, that for you, the Chongxin lineage is to propagate and spread this teaching throughout the universe. For all sentient beings, original spirits, and Buddha-disciples within the Earthly Star, it enables genuine ascension rather than descent into degradation. Furthermore, it guides and leads all students of the Chongxin lineage in its dissemination and enlightenment.
One must also come to understand the future, for all the divine opportunities and favorable conditions, as well as the duties and missions that lie ahead, are even broader and more far-reaching. It is essential for everyone to unite and form a great force to promote the transformative role of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This is a matter of true authenticity, which will genuinely benefit all sentient beings with compassion, enabling them to ascend and transcend.

◆ Postfaces & Praises ◆
跋    一
The Great Dao
It is the natural process of nurturing all sentient original spirit Buddhas-to-be into the human world. It also serves as the fundamental cause for humanity's opportunity to ascend and transcend, while simultaneously removing mutual obstacles within the human realm. Through the human world, beings support one another in this great karmic connection, thereby genuinely fostering growth.
It is precisely through this that all original spirit Buddhas and disciples are able to achieve transformation and refinement of their own accumulated negative habits and inherent causes. Only by genuinely and truthfully elevating oneself can one ascend and return in this very lifetime. Moreover, such a rare and precious cause and condition is not something that every human being can attain.
Heaven and Earth
It is precisely while using the Earthly Dark Star System as a source of nourishment for growth that one must transcend through the "heart, body, and spirit." Moreover, as the great Dao and celestial secrets descend into the mortal world, the attitude and karmic conditions with which one cultivates growth also depend on the Earthly Dark Star System. It is essential that there be those who genuinely elevate the human realm and eradicate its deep-rooted negative habits.
It is for the sake of correctness and the right path; in the human world, people often impose their own thoughts and concepts upon all habits and functions of this life and this world, calling it survival. One must be able to align with the fundamental reasons for cultivation set by Heaven, in order to return to the original foundation. This is what is called returning and transcending, and it is indeed correct!

Excellent! Congratulations on the completion of the first postscript to the twenty-first volume of the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series of the Chongxin Lineage. This is truly a joyous and commendable achievement! Having spent some time with the Chongxin Lineage, discussing all the great opportunities for future salvation, we shall meet again!

At the genesis of the universe, chaos transformed into the boundless void;  
The ancient virtues and principles are transmitted to the present era.
跋   二
The origin of the great Dao is authored by heaven and earth.
It is through the connection of the first cosmic cycle with the second, extending to the present third cosmic cycle, that those who were previously guided to return are once again summoned to this time and space. Through the guidance carried out in the human world, without distinction of any species, the virtues and blessings of heaven and earth are manifested to nurture the original spiritual Buddhas and disciples of the 21st century.
Entering into the mundane world, distinctions are no longer made among the various systems of the sentient world—such as "Restoring Antiquity and Gathering Completion," "Universal Salvation and Gathering Completion," and "Five Teachings Gathering Completion." Instead, it offers to each system the genuine opportunity to comprehend the divine mysteries and favorable conditions bestowed by Heaven, enabling all to understand their own karma and celestial opportunities, thereby granting ascension and transcendence.
The Great Dao, the works of heaven and earth, the origin of beginnings.
Thus, the evolutionary process of heaven and earth provides a function for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas in the 21st century, regardless of the karma of each system. What is the purpose of entering the mundane world? It is essential to understand that, regardless of any system or karma, those who can enter the Earthly Star in the 21st century must undergo the function of cultivation and transformation.
That is to say, in the human world, one engages in the great cause of transformation, elevating one's flawed and imperfect qualities upward, thereby achieving the enhancement of RNA and advancing toward the transcendence of QNA. However, the supreme opportunity of the "Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" is to manifest the past ignorance and obstacles of the human world anew within the mortal realm.
By the sacred decree, the Chongxin Sect is entrusted with the great celestial mysteries and holy missions of Heaven, to promote the sublime cause of the "Great Tao Series of Celestial Books." This is indeed a joyous and commendable achievement, worthy of praise and encouragement. It will widely guide the sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of the 21st century toward return and transcendence—truly wondrous!

The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth
It is through the virtue and grace of heaven and earth that the human world can be passed down, manifesting rules, systems, codes, and norms in the mortal realm. Without distinction among any religion, sect, or nation, all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas can enter the earthly star, advancing themselves toward true elevation and transcendence.
Moreover, such divine opportunities and favorable conditions are exceedingly rare in the present era! This extraordinary affinity can truly be said to be the great virtue and compassion of Heaven, enabling the cultivation and transformation of all your habits, tendencies, personalities, and innate natures—a path that is profoundly correct.
It is precisely because of this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity entering this era that it is essential to genuinely elevate the trinity of one's "body, mind, and spirit," enabling the "physical form, inner self, and spiritual nature" to converge and ascend together. To remain confined within the human world and persist in such limitations is truly undesirable.
The supreme path is the exceptional wonder of heaven and earth.
It is precisely by dispelling all the delusions of the human world that those who have not yet been guided back in the past must now be readjusted within this specific time and space. This opportunity for the Chongxin Sect of the Yichiao to receive such heavenly secrets is, in fact, a predetermined policy and mission set by the Heavenly Realm long ago, having endured thirty years of rigorous trials and tribulations.
The presiding master of the Li Bi lineage has come to observe all actions and, over the past decade, has also watched over and supervised the deeds of the Chong Xin lineage. This has truly been guided by a profound celestial opportunity and virtuous affinity, enabling all sentient beings and original spirit Buddhas of the 21st century to genuinely transcend and return by fulfilling the celestial mission and sacred duties bestowed by Heaven.
Furthermore, it does not distinguish between systems such as "Kui Guang Dai Jia," "Reincarnation by Vow," or "Descending from the Primordial Realm." By carrying out their noble missions and tasks, there will be growth, enhancement, and transcendence of goodness. At the same time, this also forms a genuine progression toward broader cosmic spaces—a truly commendable and joyous achievement!

Guide to the Reader
I. The Great Dao: In the world of human existence, for survival and belonging, there arise essential necessities for living. It is through connecting and integrating one's "body, mind, and spirit" that greater growth and elevation can be achieved.
II. The Great Dao: It is also achieved through natural spontaneity in relation to the worldly path of humanity, offering transformation via religious cultivation. It is essential to be able to realize one’s own aspirations—that is, to accomplish oneself through oneself—for this is the true reality.
III. The Great Dao: For all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children who can enter the mundane world, it is essential to understand what one's own shortcomings and deficiencies are. Only then can one work to reform these flaws, enabling the true purification of the interconnected "body, mind, and spirit," and moreover, allowing their genuine and practical application.
IV. Heaven and Earth: These constitute the primary causal foundation upon which all original spiritual beings and Buddha-children depend for their existence. Without the earthly stars of the underworld, how could mutual interaction, transformation, and elevation be achieved? It is precisely within this framework of heaven and earth that all your shortcomings and deficiencies can be integrated, undergo renewed refinement, and thus manifest in accordance with true nature.
V. Heaven and Earth: Only after cultivation and rectification can one comprehend the karma and mission of the past.
Those who fail to purify their body, mind, and spirit will inevitably encounter
All forms of mutual limitation that bind and confine, making it difficult to break free from hardship, also prevent true liberation and transcendence—this is undesirable.
Six. The Universe: It manifests to all sentient beings, the original spirits and Buddha’s disciples, through theories, thoughts, and concepts, elevating them to truly ascend the heavenly ladder of return to the Great Path and embrace favorable opportunities. This is the fundamental intention of the Heavenly Realm.
VII. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth: In the 21st century, as technological civilization advances into the human world,
Within this realm, it is essential to have clarity and smooth passage regarding one's future path. Only then can one truly be honest with oneself, ensuring that all past sacred duties and missions can be fulfilled in this cosmic cycle and current juncture. This is what constitutes authenticity!
VIII. The Great Dao and the Great Earth: Furthermore, all sentient original spirit Buddha-children who have entered the Earthly Dark Star are guided by their respective systems. Without distinguishing between the various systems—such as "Restoring Antiquity and Gathering Completion," "Universal Salvation," "Gathering Completion," or "Gathering Completion of the Five Teachings"—all can be mutually integrated. Regarding the actions to be taken after the gathering completion, it is precisely a return to transcendence.
IX. The Great Dao's Compilation of All Karmic Affinities in Heaven and Earth: This is for all sentient beings and original spirit Buddha-children across various systems, especially those who are "endowed with illustrious destiny, reincarnated by vow, or descended from the celestial realm," enabling them to truly
To understand one's own karma—what it is, and how to fulfill the duty and mission of this generational karma—is to truly accomplish one's ordained destiny.
Ten. The Sublime Cause of the Great Dao and Heaven and Earth: It is to rectify and reform all the shortcomings from past examinations, granting the genuine opportunity to thoroughly cleanse one's own flaws.
The filth of the body and impure consciousness are the great causes and conditions that allow one to truly transcend and elevate oneself.
This can reduce the obstacles for these primordial spirit seeds to descend to the mortal world!
Eleven. The Fundamental Works of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth:  
It is for the compassionate primordial spirits and Buddha-children guided by the Supreme Heaven into the 21st century, enabling them in this lifetime to achieve transcendence, return, fulfillment, and ascension. These four profound karmic opportunities are granted so that individuals in this life may receive and benefit from these extraordinary divine mysteries.
Twelve. The Great Dao's Heavenly and Earthly Works are now complete: For all the diligent efforts in the works—whether in explaining, distributing, or assisting in printing—the Heavens shall deliberate and bestow merits upon the original spirit Buddha-disciples. This will lead to genuine attainment in future propagation and substantial growth in actual karmic connections, embodying true nature.

Such steadfast dedication has earned the affirmation and praise of Heaven, and indeed deserves genuine recognition and acclaim for the Chongxin Sect! Thank you all for your heartfelt companionship in this endeavor.

A rare opportunity bestowed by heaven,
The Master of Emptiness ascends the sacred platform.
Gathered together, old friends line up in a row; with one heart, they propagate the teachings to enlighten all souls.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and spiritual practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Primordial Chaos One Qi, the Mysterious Supreme Being, the Great Emperor Pangu, the Yellow Emperor Ancestor, and the Great Emperor Fuxi have collectively descended to the Chongxin Sect lineage to compose the first, second, and third postscripts, as well as the general introduction. This serves as a true affirmation and commendation of the Chongxin Sect lineage.
Therefore, the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, with unwavering determination, is committed to continuously publishing the Da Dao series without interruption in any issue. The celestial beings and saints from the higher realms of Heaven frequently descend upon Chongxin to jointly deliberate on the divine opportunities and auspicious conditions for these writings. This also serves to guide and fulfill the broader propagation and salvation of the Great Dao in the future, achieving even greater merits. Please refrain from loud noises shortly, so as not to disturb the joint deliberations of the saints and immortals! Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!

Imperial Decree Proclaimed
Respectfully Received
The Great Heavenly Mother of the Wuji decrees:
Mother resides in the heavenly realm of supreme bliss. For the original spirits of the ninety-six who descend to the mortal world, She bestows various resources and nourishment to elevate them, providing sentient beings and original spirits with opportunities for growth, learning, and transcendence. Time and again, She issues decrees to the mortal world, hoping that those who truly achieve through the grace of the Imperial Mother are rare indeed! Exceedingly rare!
Thus, through the joint efforts of the Wuji and Haotian in this cosmic cycle, the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Tang" was established. Period after period, it has been dedicated to unveiling the 'Great Tao Series Celestial Books,' and to date, a total of twenty-one volumes of "Great Tao Heaven and Earth" have been completed and submitted as offerings. This truly brings immense comfort and joy to this mother.
With the compassionate decree of the Mother’s Heart, Chongxin Hall has steadfastly manifested the "Great Virtue and Grace," enabling all sentient beings between heaven and earth to understand the original intent and structure of the Heavenly Will. This allows each individual to achieve their own return and transcendence. In recognition of the dedication of the divine and human efforts at Chongxin Hall under the Mother’s Heart’s decree, their merits shall be duly recorded in the Celestial Register of Virtues and Merits.
To serve as the foundation for future return and accomplishment. It is decreed that the Immortal Maiden Shuangcheng be dispatched to bring three jugs of Wuji Nectar, to be added to the tea at Chongxin Hall, as a reward for all the hardworking sentient beings and spirits who have made sacrifices and contributions. This celestial opportunity and auspicious affinity are granted for their growth, which is truly touching, commendable, congratulatory, and worthy of encouragement.
It is also through the great Dao's expansive transformation that elevation is achieved, nurturing the growth of all primal spirits within the sentient universe—this is the utmost instruction! Diligent and courageous, truly commendable, my children! Indeed, with the Mother's benevolent decree empowering the Chongxin Hall, the steadfast resolve to propagate transformation has yielded remarkably significant merits! Diligent and courageous, fulfilling duties with excellence—praise be to you!

The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity of Mystical Radiance, proclaims this imperial decree:
As the supreme sovereign, in the grand mission of educating and transforming all religions across the vast universe, I have bestowed abundant celestial and earthly resources. In this present era, what enables the clear understanding of the universe's profound wonders and the fulfillment of the predestined connections to the Great Dao is none other than the Yichi Chongxin Hall. Since receiving the imperial decree and establishing the hall in the year of Bingzi, it has embarked on the compilation of the Celestial Book series of the Great Dao.
Now, a total of twenty-one volumes of "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" have been completed and submitted to fulfill the divine decree. This is to enable all sentient beings and original spirit children in the world of emotions to achieve purification and elevation. It is the aspiration of the vast heavens, and with the guidance of the revered sages and Buddhas of Chongxin, it is hoped that all virtuous students will be educated and nurtured in each phase, fostering their own growth and elevation.
Enter into genuine learning, growth, harvest, and benefit—this is even more authentic! I am also greatly pleased by the unwavering dedication of the Shenren of Chongxin Hall, who have truly exerted immense effort in propagating the Great Dao. Through the virtuous grace of Heaven and Earth, actions are transformed and fulfilled step by step! Now, the completion of the sacred text of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has been accomplished and submitted as decreed.
For those who devoutly serve the deities, Buddhas, and students, and wholeheartedly dedicate themselves through sacrifice and devotion, these merits shall be specially recorded and honored in the Celestial Scroll of Heaven. Furthermore, to all deities, Buddhas, and students who genuinely offer sacrifice and selfless dedication, the "Golden Lotus Throne" shall be bestowed. May this bring about truly outstanding achievements in Chongxin's future mission of propagation and transformation.
Furthermore, each deity and student is granted the opportunity to share in the merits attained through the "Golden Lotus Throne." This heavenly virtue and merit register is truly bestowed upon those who sincerely dedicate themselves, serving as commendation and encouragement for those who fulfill their duties to Heaven with utmost devotion.
