Grand Presiding Officer of the Chongxin Taoist Sanctuary  
Lord of the Southern Heavens, Emperor Wenheng
The Thirty-First Volume of the Dadao Series  
A Sacred Decree Issued for the Era of Propagation
Respectfully receiving the Sacred Decree: The Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven.
Today marks an auspicious and joyous occasion for the Chongxin Sect. With all deities and humanity working in unison to promote universal teachings across the world, genuine benefits of propagation can be achieved. By elevating the "body, mind, and spirit" of sentient beings, favorable conditions and karmic affinities arise, offering opportunities for growth, ascension, and transcendence.
Now that the auspicious hour has arrived, the decree is issued to dispatch the Venerable Celestial of Void-Transmitted Teachings, the Venerable Celestial of Void-Transmitted Virtue, and the Venerable Celestial of Void-Wielded Brush to welcome the Sacred Edict of the Wuji from thirty li away to the hall. Furthermore, the decree orders the Immortal Maiden of Void Spirit, the Immortal Maiden of Void Intention, and the Immortal Maiden of Void Assembly to respectfully receive the Sacred Edict of the Wuji from twenty li away and present it in the hall. All deities, Buddhas, disciples, as well as the practitioners of the Wuji Great Dao Academy and its affiliated institutions, shall line up in order to await the arrival.
Before the Throne of the Infinite, the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens.
Before the Limitless Throne, serving the Imperial Mother,  
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens bestows her virtuous grace.
The Thirty-first Volume of the Dadao Series: The Bestowal and Revelation of the Sacred Heart's Virtue and Blessings
By imperial decree, the sacred mandate of Wuji descends upon the Chongxin lineage, proclaimed for all deities and mortals to bow in reverence.
Imperial Decree: To Be Proclaimed
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle. Observing all sentient beings of the Southern Continent descending to the mortal world, only to become lost in the turbid and evil age of the five impurities, it has become exceedingly difficult for them to comprehend the truth of heaven and earth for their return, and even harder to find a genuine opportunity for true homecoming. Now, with Mother’s benevolent decree, Chongxintang was established in the year of Bingzi, and since then, it has embarked on the unparalleled and extraordinary task of composing the "Great Tao Series Celestial Books," the only one of its kind in the world.
To date, a total of thirty volumes have been completed. All education and enlightenment in the human world, cultivated through the "Apricot Altar," serve to lay the foundation for future generations. Now, with the thirty-first volume of the Dadao series, titled "Dadao Apricot Altar," it stands as a foundational guide for all future human science.
It is essential to have truthful causes and conditions, enabling all sentient beings to understand the limitations imposed by the heavens and earth, and to learn how to elevate the "body, mind, and spirit" beyond these confines. Through such growth and transcendence, one may in this lifetime return to the perfect ascension of the Limitless Heavenly Principle and the Realm of Emptiness.
Upon receipt of this decree, the work shall commence immediately. It is commanded that the four great Buddhas—Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, Ancient Buddha Nāmo Dīpaṃkara, Ancient Buddha Nāmo Void-Space Supreme Virtue Human-Heaven, and Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji—shall serve as the principal composing immortals and Buddhas. All other exalted immortals and Buddhas from the three realms shall assist as accompanying composing immortals and Buddhas, thereby elevating the Confucian tradition as a form of education and moral cultivation.
In today's era, the promotion of the "Great Dao" and the teachings of the "Apricot Altar" have brought about remarkable educational growth. This is precisely what I, as a mother, hope for an early return to, one that surpasses past limitations. It is essential to achieve this accomplishment within a single lifetime, while also genuinely providing all virtuous and favorable conditions for upward growth and transcendence.
The mother's heart is filled with hope, that all the divine beings of the Chongxin lineage and all the student disciples may strive together as the vanguard of the Great Path of Heaven, achieving their own fulfillment and also aiding all spiritual children in their return. In response to the virtuous grace of Heaven and the expectations of the Wuji Imperial Mother, may they soon accomplish the mission of bestowing longevity upon the world, thereby benefiting the attainment of all sentient original spirits.
Diligent and courageous, never idle nor negligent; perfect the self, deliver all beings.

The Supreme Celestial Mother of Wuji issues the Sacred Decree of Wuji.
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Court of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the second day of the fifth lunar month in the year Xinyou of the Tianyun cycle, at the hour of Xu.
Aha! Another auspicious and splendid day, allowing us to witness the diligent efforts of the Chongxin Sect lineage. For the sisters of Immortal Ma, who have come to teach and bring fulfillment, to be recognized as foremost in the world today, it is essential to achieve tangible results, thus giving thanks for the grace of the Holy Mother. The decree has been proclaimed in full. I shall now swiftly return to the Celestial Realm to deliver the decree, and will visit again another day. You have all worked hard. Farewell!
Imperial Decree: Chongxin Hall, Principal President, the Supreme Master of the Void.
The Honored Master of the Chongxin Sect,  
The Supreme Sage of the Void expounds the true meaning.
The Thirty-first Volume of the Dadao Series: The Foundation of Education and Cultivation
Today, the sacred decree descended from the Wuji has been fully promulgated. For the Chongxin lineage, this represents yet another profound affirmation. Regarding all the celestial texts, it can be said that each volume has been perfected as scheduled, and within these works lies extraordinary celestial mysteries, which are bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage through the "Great Dao Series" celestial texts. This is the growth nurtured by the boundless virtue and compassion of the heavens.
The proclamation of the Wuji Decree having been fully issued, the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven was then received at the hall. Orders were given to dispatch from this lineage the Wuji Second and Third Pass Sage Emperor and the Wuji Nine Heavens Director of Fate True Lord to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven twenty li away and bring it to the hall. Further orders were given to dispatch from this lineage the Wuji Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, the Wuji Manjushri Bodhisattva, and the Wuji Lady of Birth Registration to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven ten li away and bring it to the hall.
All other deities, Buddhas, students, and the cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy respectfully lined up in formation to await the arrival and receive the Heavenly Jade Decree from the Hall of Heaven, which was to be proclaimed in the hall. All divine beings and humans prostrated themselves fully, ensuring no breach of decorum.
Imperial Envoy of the Vast Heaven, Immortal Elder Li Taibai
The Imperial Envoy of the Vast Heaven, Li Taibai,  
The Immortal Sage descends time and again.
The affinity for honoring the heart is truly sublime,  
Unfolding the virtuous merits accumulated in the past.
By the grace of the Heavenly Jade Decree, it is once again bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage. We are truly grateful and fortunate to have this opportunity for its implementation, which also fosters mutual virtuous connections within the Chongxin lineage. This is indeed a cause for celebration. With reverence, we receive the Heavenly Jade Edict, ensuring no lapse in propriety.
Jade Decree: Commence Reading
Respectfully Received
The Great Heavenly Lord of Jade,  
The Supreme Emperor of Mystical Spirits,  
Proclaims the Jade Decree:
As the supreme sovereign of the Nine-Five position, I have overseen the education and moral cultivation of all nations in Jambudvīpa, historically nurtured through Confucian thought. Now, as Taiwan increasingly finds it difficult to continue implementing the "Fundamental Texts of Chinese Culture," the promotion and elevation of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics face renewed challenges. It has become necessary to re-proclaim these principles through religious means.
In the nurturing of the teachings at the Apricot Altar, it is essential to genuinely elevate the content of the "Fundamental Texts of Chinese Culture" for the benefit of all sentient beings today. Only through this can the calamities currently afflicting humanity be transformed; otherwise, it will be difficult to mitigate the occurrence of such disasters. It is crucial to understand that the new Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues must be implemented within the thoughts and concepts of humankind.
In the future, human technological civilization will be able to purify and elevate the realm of reality, which is what I eagerly anticipate and admire. Furthermore, the Chongxin lineage, in the creation of the Celestial Books of the Great Tao series, should faithfully complete each volume. It is fitting that the thirty-first volume of the Great Tao series be titled "The Great Tao's Apricot Altar," serving the Chongxin lineage as a practical means of education and enlightenment.
Promoting this celestial scripture across the world and mutually assisting the four billion Buddha’s children in gradually returning to the fold is the true nature of reality. The task is entrusted primarily to the four great Buddha venerables: Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, Ancient Buddha Namo Dipankara, Ancient Buddha Namo Xukong Shangde Rentiān, and Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji, with other exalted beings from the three realms serving as supporting immortals and Buddhas.
Upon receipt of this decree, commence the work immediately and strive to complete it at the earliest opportunity, so that it may be promulgated to benefit the world. To truly alleviate the calamities and sufferings of humanity, it is essential to promote education and enlightenment. The methods must be faithfully disclosed to all people across the world—this is the righteous path. Moreover, it is imperative to devote every effort to fulfilling the extraordinary conditions anticipated by Heaven.

Through the true method, calamities are resolved, a pure land is created, and all beings return.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystical Divinity, has proclaimed the Jade Decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha Heart School, the Great Dao Academy of the Wuji, and the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the second day of the fifth month in the year Xīn-Mǎo of the Tiānyùn cycle, during the hour of the Dog.
Aha! The Jade Decree has been fully proclaimed, and I see that the Chongxin Sect has already begun preparations for promoting the Dharma through media channels. This is an inevitable trend, allowing Chongxin to extend the "Great Dao Series" across the universe, thereby accomplishing the mission of guiding sentient beings back to transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work. I shall take my leave for now and return another day to visit. This old immortal must now hasten back to the Heavenly Court to report on the decree.
The Imperial Decree Appoints the President of Chongxin Hall, the Sage Emperor of Literary Balance.
Chairman of the Chongxin Sect Lineage,  
Wenheng Shengdi Expounds the Sacred Will.
The Great Way comes from the Apricot Altar, where works are composed;  
The foundation of the exalted heart is firmly rooted in its time.
Today marks a most auspicious and joyous occasion for the Chongxin Sect. We have just respectfully received the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and the Jade Edict of the Haotian Heaven in our hall, and both have now been fully proclaimed. For our sect, this signifies that during the period of our work at the "Great Dao Xingtan," we will gradually propagate the Dharma outward, establishing our foundation in Taiwan and expanding magnificently into the international community.
This is the Chongxin Sect's composition of the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series, which aligns with the overall mission: to propagate the true teachings of the primordial heavens, to practice the great path of heaven and earth, to establish the norms of the Apricot Altar, and to guide all beings toward their return. By making this cornerstone of the Apricot Altar the foundation of Chongxin's teachings, it also serves as a foothold for grand expansion. With the divine will as its duty, it is promoted throughout the universe.
To truly extend this foundational understanding, it is hoped that in the works of the "Great Dao Xingtan," everyone will deeply appreciate the compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven. If one writes solely from the perspective of past eras, it becomes difficult to authentically apply the methods of future technological civilization. This is because works created in different times and contexts carry distinct energies, each contributing to upward elevation in its own way.

Editor's Note X2
What modern science can verify is limited to the space of the current cosmic cycle alone; it fundamentally cannot confirm all that existed in previous cycles. If we rely solely on the technology of the present era, it will likely be difficult for humanity to achieve significant advancement in civilization, and the benefits for future well-being will be greatly diminished.
How to reflect upon the scientific civilizations of the past is a valuable lesson for today's science. Each era and cosmic cycle possesses its own distinct technological civilization—a truth often beyond the comprehension of humanity. Why is this so? Each time the earth undergoes a transformation, shifting from oceans to mulberry fields, the technological achievements of the previous civilization are buried beneath the earth or submerged in the deep sea.
These treasures of ancient civilizations will be unearthed by future generations after a long period of time, only then will they come to understand the nature of each previous civilization on Earth. How will such a scenario make future humans feel? It is difficult to say! They will only realize that such technological civilizations serve merely as a form of verification.
Without a fundamental understanding of the transformations across different times and circumstances, it becomes difficult to truly comprehend the civilizations that once existed on this planet, how present-day humanity can draw from them, and how to shape future well-being. This necessitates significant advancement in all forms of "borrowing wisdom," which in turn shapes how contemporary technology should be elevated.
Ancient Astronomy: This is a form of verification that even contemporary scientists find difficult to fully comprehend. It often leads to situations where theories and viewpoints previously confirmed and published by earlier scientists are later overturned by others. In fact, there is nothing inherently wrong with the ideas and arguments that were once verified and published, for none of us are the ancients of that era, nor can we fully grasp the authenticity of those times.
Ancient Technological Studies: The reason why they later become corroborated by science, and better align with the actual conditions of the past, is precisely because future technological civilization will achieve more advanced progress, which can also correspond to the circumstances that occurred in ancient times. However, these corroborations may still maintain some distance from the facts; they are merely verifications, and by no means represent absolute truth.
Paleoanthropology: Evolution within the Earth's spatial development also exhibits regional variations. Across the entire planetary space, transformations occur across different epochs, giving rise to the evolution of diverse human races. This has led to the interdependence of numerous advanced human lineages, which further transcend through various cosmic cycles. It is believed that the flourishing of ancient civilizations can thus be anticipated.
Ancient Moral Philosophy: This is the virtuous grace of cosmic evolution, enacted throughout the entire universe and its galaxies in accordance with moral principles. It constitutes the foundation of the Great Dao's unfolding, expressed through the natural state of "non-action" to manifest the growth of "true non-action." This forms the interconnected practice of genuine "morality" for all galaxies, heavens and earth, and humanity.
Ancient Ethics: In the course of existence, humanity inherently follows a mutual regulatory order, characterized by the distinction between elder and younger, with hierarchy and sequence. This framework must be implemented within every unit and family to foster a wholesome living environment. This system of human relations constitutes the norms of human ethics and morality.
Master Lixin Guangming inscribed this before the publication of Dadao Xingtan, March 2012.
Foreword by X3
The account in a single book can detail the entire evolutionary process of the Earth, elaborating on changes that even today's scientists have never verified. Given the explosion of knowledge in the modern era, it is believed that most people would not agree with such claims, nor could they verify all the actual processes. Naturally, they would approach it with a skeptical attitude.
In fact, every modern human being is not an ancient person. Modern scientific evidence is often overturned by another theory after a period of time, resulting in each verification failing to provide lasting proof of the authenticity of every process. This kind of science and technology struggles to achieve substantial, clear evidence regarding the core issues.
In response to the changes across different times and spaces, various human civilizations have emerged. It is believed that in the current era, survival has evolved into a more advanced state. Humanity has transformed into a global village, where communication for survival knows no bounds. Consequently, there exists an indispensable way of life that can continuously provide the necessary actions for nurturing life, ensuring that every living being can be well-fed and cared for.
Human dependence on the Earth's space necessitates the sustenance of the "food chain" to sustain the continuity of the "affairs chain," which in turn transforms into the fulfillment of what is known as the "currency chain," essential for all. This is the reality of human existence. As long as one is human, these three elements must be present, and this is especially true for modern people.
Through the compassionate grace of the heavens, humanity today has evolved, enabling the emergence of more exceptional lineages to transform the increasingly diminished genes of the past. Moreover, ancient civilizations that were never before manifested in the human realm have now been transplanted into the modern era, allowing all people to understand that the civilizations and technologies of past races far surpassed those of the present.
Layer by layer, these evolutionary processes of the universe's past mysteries are unveiled, offering humanity significant space for contemplation. The reason such effects exist lies in the compassionate grace of Heaven, which has allowed "high-tech talents from extraterrestrial star systems" who once resided in Earth's space to descend once again into the human world, altering the genetic makeup of humankind.
Some may consider this a natural evolution, and if stated as such, it is also correct. This is because humans cannot perceive the invisible realms and are only aware of the tangible world in which they live—this is understandable. However, they are unaware that within the space of the human world, there exist many transformations of other realms that remain unseen by humanity.
These factors all affect the comfort of the living space for all humanity. In fact, one thing that can be understood in the human world is that after a person is equipped with a "physical body," a "spiritual body" must be infused to activate all the "functions of the physical body." Therefore, the physical body alone cannot initiate any activity.
This kind of issue, I believe, is not something humans would consider plausible. If there were only a physical body, it would be incapable of any movement and would inevitably come to a standstill, turning into a "corpse or a vegetative state." By paying even a little attention to observing the functions of the human body, one can understand that this is the true nature of reality. Careful observation will surely reveal the profound mysteries within.
Why does this ancient anthropology affect the direction of modern human survival? The true reality is that people today are enslaved by material desires, unable to be masters of themselves at all. Let us reflect further! Human beings are certainly not governed entirely by the physical body in terms of bodily functions, nor can they control their path after death. How difficult this is!
Every individual's spiritual essence—the true self—is referred to as the "soul" in Daoism, the "spiritual platform" in Confucianism, and "self-nature" in Buddhism, also known as "suchness," "mind-king," or "storehouse consciousness." This corresponds to the eighth consciousness, the "ālaya-vijñāna." Only in human beings does it transmit through the seventh consciousness, the "manas-vijñāna," and further outward to the sixth consciousness, the "mano-vijñāna," thereby initiating the functional actions of the body.
The five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—guide and govern all human bodily functions. Through their interaction with the five corresponding objects—form, sound, scent, flavor, and texture—all actions and behaviors essential to human existence arise. It is believed that all functional capacities of these actions originate in this way, with the "spiritual essence" joining the "physical body" to fulfill the functions of the human form.
The implementation of the New Three Bonds: It is through grounding "ancient moral philosophy and ancient ethics" in the human world that the principles and regulations of morality and ethics are established, forming a well-ordered ethical framework. These are by no means outdated arguments or ideas that have fallen out of fashion in the modern era. If such ethical principles were absent, what would become of humanity?
Consider this: the modern world has already witnessed numerous instances that serve as "negative examples violating social ethics," and such occurrences are becoming increasingly frequent. If we fail to recognize that these events, which go against the wholesome social norms, continue to emerge, and if we ourselves encounter them in the future, it will be too late for regret. We will only have ourselves to blame, and what can be done then?
As the old saying goes, "New rules should not be arbitrarily established, nor should old rules be recklessly abolished." It is essential to deeply understand that the foundation of the "Fundamental Texts of Chinese Culture" has begun to waver. Everyone bears the responsibility to uphold and correct it, preventing it from collapsing or perishing. Only by striving for a peaceful, comfortable, and convenient life for all can we create a harmonious living space. What do you all think?
Master Li Xin Guangming inscribed this before the publication of Dadao Xingtan.
March 2012, in Taoyuan, True Buddha Heart Sect
Key Points for Sharing ×3
The grace of Heaven, in response to the fact that the old "Three Cardinal Guides" no longer meet the needs of humanity today, has specially decreed and entrusted Chongxin Hall to revise them into the 'New Three Cardinal Guides.' These are provided for all of humanity to uphold and abide by, regardless of nationality or religion, unit or organization, company or business, and can even be implemented within every family.
The old Three Bonds: the ruler guides the subject; revised to become the new Three Bonds: the bond of loyalty and righteousness between ruler and subject.
Old Three Bonds: father as the authority over children, revised to become the New Three Bonds: parents and children as mutual guides.
Old Three Bonds: Husband as the guide for the wife, revised to become the New Three Bonds: Husband and wife in harmony and union.
Happy Family, Harmonious Classroom
In line with global trends, we must address past shortcomings, tackle the age-old issue of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts," and rectify the high divorce rates among the descendants of Yan and Huang in modern times. This will help mitigate the adverse consequences of "marital breakdowns," allowing everyone to dispel the endless shadows and obstacles that may arise in the future.
Especially the descendants of the Central Plains and Huaxia must promote this. It is a decree bestowed by Heaven upon the "True Buddha Heart School," instructing the "Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall" to compile it by the end of 2008, with its promotion beginning only three years later. Within this, there is much that we could not comprehend at the time regarding the reasons and circumstances. This is precisely the interplay of time, space, and karmic conditions.
Why has Heaven acted in this way? Only now have I come to realize that the virtuous grace of the celestial immortals and Buddhas is vast and magnificent. They have always protected and cared for the survival and direction of all future generations, aiming to transform the disasters encountered in the present era and resolve the problems that will arise with future technological civilization. This is for the welfare and benefit of all sentient beings.
Why did the heavens compose the celestial text "The Apricot Altar of the Great Dao"? It was to help humanity overcome the disasters of today. By analyzing the technological civilizations of the first and second cycles from Earth's previous eras, it allows humanity to understand past evolution and reveals how to break through current limitations, unlocking the mysteries of the entire universe. It offers "borrowed wisdom" to reform the science of human genetic evolution.
The Great Way of the Apricot Altar: What is expounded here evolves from "ancient astronomy" into "cosmic star systems," which give rise to numerous "astronomical phenomena" through "celestial changes." The "astronomical star systems" are "spread across various regions," forming the "positioning of all stars," and thus embody the essence of "the Great Way converging to the same end." This kind of "astronomical positioning" provides the dynamic force for "the transmission of foundations among star systems" and the rotation of planets.
There will also be the "energy of the Great Dao" directed toward spaces of "comfort and stability," allowing "all living beings to dwell" within the education of this 'ancient science and technology.' This fosters both "civilizational evolution" and "technological civilization," enabling "all living beings to benefit" from the "technological civilization," which will "continuously transform." Moreover, through "technological changes," it influences the "cellular composition" of all things.
Thus, various "technological disparities" across different "cosmic cycles" give rise to diverse "cellular genetic variations," shaping the myriad forms of sentient beings. Within the "Great Dao's Hall of Learning," the field of "paleoanthropology" reveals that the "origin of all beings" lies in their "inherent nature." To "transcend and elevate" this nature, "civilizational transformations" are enacted through "genetic modifications."
It is precisely through "civilization and technology" that "human genes" are modified, and by incorporating different elements of the Five Phases into "human genes," the outcomes become "unpredictable and ever-changing." The Great Way of the Apricot Altar: It further elevates the aspect of "human goodness" through "ancient moral teachings," leading to the "integration of a virtuous society" and the "practice of morality" through "moral dissemination."
There must be a "moral adherence" to "regulatory governance" for the purpose of "benefiting the masses," and it is also essential to implement "life principles" in addressing "moral ethics." The Great Way of the Apricot Altar: It is through the "human relations governance" of "ancient ethics" that the ethical observance of "order between the old and the young" is established, guiding human society toward a virtuous and enlightened path.
Every organization and group must have "benevolent leadership from superiors" and "loyal righteousness from subordinates" that harmoniously blend together. This combination fosters "family harmony," which in turn brings "prosperity and blessings." It serves as "moral ethics for educating future generations," where diverse "professional divisions of labor" in life are essential for creating "meticulously crafted" items, presented to the world for people to choose from.
Experts and masters are not only "well-learned and widely informed" but also capable of "drawing inferences from one example." They engage in "specialized division of labor" across various technologies, which in turn fosters a virtuous cycle. Therefore, the broad reach of "universal education" in schools serves as an affirmation of "educational institutions" for "civilization and technology," enabling the "teachings of the academy" to "endure and flourish," guiding future generations.
The above presents the titles of the extraordinary works of the Great Way Xingtan, arranged in order from the first to the thirty-sixth chapter. This provides significant assistance to humanity in understanding the overall content and the evolution of Earth's space. Please do not assume that current human scientific knowledge is the only correct perspective, as it may soon be overturned by future advancements that disprove past validations.
As the evolution of technology continues to advance and surpass previous limits, how will humanity face the disasters that may arise from future technological civilizations? It is believed that most people lack awareness of this issue and are uncertain how to confront it. The entire "Dadao Series Celestial Books" will gradually unravel these veils of ignorance, ensuring that everyone may benefit.
Master Li Xin Guangming inscribed this on March 18, 2012.
In the True Buddha Heart Sect, at the Wuji Great Tao Academy, Yichi Chongxin Hall.
The Great Way and the Apricot Altar
The compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven and the multitude of immortals and Buddhas are to be employed in resolving the calamities within Earth's realm.
Analyzing the earliest ancient holistic Dimingxing technological civilization to unravel its mysteries.
Ancient Astronomy, Ancient Technology, Ancient Anthropology, Ancient Moral Philosophy, Ancient Ethics
These five forms of downward transformation provide the source for contemporary science to comprehend the whole within the human world.
The ancient astronomical constellations are distributed across all regions, and it is precisely through the positioning of the myriad stars that the great path converges to a common destination.
Only through the transformations of astronomy can the positions of cosmic galaxies be determined.
The formation of planets from the fundamental essence of star systems, which rotate, is the very energy of the Great Dao.
The evolution of ancient scientific and technological civilization has provided all beings with comfortable and stable living spaces.
The evolution of technological civilization is ceaseless, with diverse cells constituting all living beings in the universe.
Technological disparities across different cosmic cycles give rise to the evolution of diverse beings through cellular adaptation.
The unpredictable genetic changes in paleoanthropology are precisely the root of all sentient beings.
It is the enhancement of genes through the transformation brought about by civilization and technology.
The genetic modification of human root nature is necessary for elevation and transcendence.
In ancient moral philosophy, human nature is inherently good, and societies are established to propagate virtue.
Only when morality is anchored in governance and regulation can it be effectively practiced and bring blessings to all beings.
Morality and ethics are the guiding principles of life, which give rise to the orderly hierarchy of seniority and juniority in human relationships.
Superiors must be benevolent and virtuous in caring for everyone, so that subordinates will be loyal and righteous.
Family harmony brings prosperity and blessings, and nurtures the moral ethics of future generations.
To adapt to the changes of civilization, one must be erudite and well-informed in order to draw inferences from one instance.
Civilization and technology are advanced and popularized through education in the Apricot Altar.
The specialization and division of labor in various technologies must be crafted with precision to earn the affection of humanity.
The teachings of civilization, science, and the educational tradition can endure and benefit generations to come.
The Great Sage and Teacher, Confucius, the Supreme Sage of the Ruist Tradition.

Exalting the virtue of Confucius, the Supreme Sage.
The Great Path of the Reverent Heart reveals the secrets of heaven;  
All sentient beings are blessed with enduring grace.
Praise and Felicitation
The fundamental actions of the Great Way
Sentient beings take survival orientation as their foundation. Within this, they grow through the teachings of the educational realm, and also regard the Great Dao as their guiding principle. For the human world, this is inevitably facilitated by numerous wholesome causes and conditions. Through human inheritance, education and moral instruction serve fundamental functions, serving as the cornerstone for the "cultivation through education" in the human realm.
It is said in ancient times: The Apricot Altar—using private schools as a foundation to educate future generations—is precisely what is referred to in the modern era as the education of academies and schools. It also encompasses the transmission of all human ethics and morals in the world, which necessarily requires mutual growth. This highlights the essential role of the ancient Apricot Altar’s teachings and the advancements brought by today’s academies and school education, which together represent the true path.
The educators of the Apricot Altar
Human beings, based on experience, use that experience to educate future generations. This is a form of knowledge transmission, akin to the educational tradition of the Apricot Altar, which can achieve broader educational efficacy. It also requires the gathering of many students to form a place of learning, where the influence of "teachers imparting lessons" educates and nurtures the students.
This process transmits past experiences to a greater number of sentient beings. Such conditions provide future generations with the accumulation of personal experience through learning and growth, enabling the transmission of knowledge to descendants. This not only facilitates the elevation of understanding through education but also plays a significant role in future development.
The "Apricot Altar" serves as the foundational site for teaching. In human society, the necessity of survival orientation and moral inheritance establishes the "Great Dao Apricot Altar" as a guiding standard. Only through this can greater elevation and growth be achieved, enabling the genuine integration of this ancient knowledge into the welfare of today’s era of technological civilization.

The teachings of the Great Way at the Apricot Altar
Sentient beings, through such opportunities, primarily rely on human beings to accomplish the salvation of all living beings. In the evolution of human technological civilization, this is guided by the will of Heaven. This educational role of the "Apricot Altar" served as a gathering place for all during the first and second kalpas of the past.
Humanity possesses an innate drive for upward growth and the attainment of well-being, capable of dissolving all ignorance and obstacles. Coupled with the diverse disciplines of today, this has given rise to numerous distinct qualities within human civilization. In this era, if technology is allowed to dominate without addressing the deficiencies in body, mind, and spirit, it becomes essential to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence.
The Foundation of Education at the Apricot Altar
When the collective of humanity gathers in one place for education, the past diverse experiences are passed down through "master-to-master transmission." This is how the "Apricot Altar" tradition is formed. For the next generation or descendants in their learning and growth process, this knowledge and experience gradually become ingrained in memory through this "master-to-master transmission."
This condition can be described as a transcendence of body, mind, and spirit, which is essential. Otherwise, despite possessing technological civilization, humanity's moral and ethical decline would prevent further growth. It is necessary to establish a foundation for morality and ethics, which stems from humanity's capacity for growth and transcendence.
This is also the case for education in the academic sphere; otherwise, humanity would rely solely on technological civilization, thereby obliterating the regulations of morality and ethics, and becoming scarcely different from beasts. If there is a lack of education in the academic sphere, as well as the teachings and experiences of predecessors in the world, it is essential to seek compensatory growth in order to genuinely elevate and cultivate oneself.

Preface: Encouragement
Preface to the Great Way and the Apricot Altar: Words of Encouragement
The essence of the Great Dao is grounded in humanity as its reference point. For the human world of sentient beings, it is essential to undergo education and cultivation for growth. In ancient times, this condition was referred to as "private school cultivation," while today it is called "school education." Thus, the tradition of "teachers instructing teachers" forms a path of learning and growth for future generations.
In the cultivation of "master-to-disciple transmission," it is essential to engage in learning at every moment and through every action. This is a necessary process of elevation and transcendence for all human beings and myriad living beings. Moreover, why is it that human beings, among all species, are capable of greater growth and elevation, enabling them to transcend mere survival and comfort?
Human beings, in their pursuit of learning and growth, strive to establish broader and more abundant sources of sustenance and wisdom. This endeavor reflects humanity's unique position as the most spiritually advanced among all beings—a distinction that sets humans apart from other creatures. Each individual must engage in a tradition of "passing knowledge from teacher to teacher" to foster steady and solid foundations for growth. Such a foundation not only benefits oneself but also contributes to the well-being and comfort of all sentient beings, promoting a life of goodness and harmony. This is an essential and necessary path for all.
The Great Way begins at the Apricot Altar, revealing its origins.
It is precisely aligned with the fundamental purpose of revering the heart, and in the third monumental volume of the Dadao series of celestial texts, each volume represents an exceptionally rare and precious celestial scripture. For humanity and all beings within the realms of technological civilization, education, and cultivation, it is founded upon the basic frameworks of ancient astronomy, ancient technology, ancient anthropology, ancient moral philosophy, and ancient ethics.
After these "borrowed" scientific and technological talents have fulfilled their duties and missions, they will inevitably undergo further growth and return to their original bases to achieve transcendence. Through the nurturing influence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," their elevation and transcendence will be facilitated by the auspicious opportunities of technological celestial secrets. This is the compassionate arrangement of the Heavens and the fulfillment brought about by the "borrowing of talents."
The Treatise of the Great Path and Apricot Altar states: For the future sentient beings who delve into the growth of Consciousness-Only doctrine, it is essential to truly understand that after humanity passes through the confusion of entering the womb, inventions and creations must be made to benefit the welfare of human beings. This is the mission to be accomplished for the future, and to pass this legacy on to future generations is precisely the true nature of "borrowing talent."
Homage to the Original Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha — A Preface of Encouragement Bestowed
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddha, the Great Dao Academy of the Wuji, the Chongxin Hall Bestowed by Divine Decree.

Aha! I am truly overjoyed for Chongxin, as the Dadao series has now entered its third monumental volume, the thirty-first book. Through the unwavering dedication and efforts of the Chongxin lineage, its reach knows no bounds, spreading far and wide. It is able to guide sentient beings with virtuous affinities back to the fold after its promotion. Congratulations, congratulations! I have taken the liberty of spending some time with the Chongxin lineage to discuss future growth and propagation.

Homage to the unity of the void,  
Where boundless virtue unfolds the foundation of the Way.
The Ancient Buddha ascends the dais to meet the Sacred Spirits;  
The devoted hearts of virtuous disciples fulfill blessings and vows.
Today is truly a day of gratitude: the three founders of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism have personally descended upon Chongxin to compose the great teachings of the Apricot Altar: offering praises, hymns, and prefaces. Many other sages and buddhas, unable to appear on stage, have also descended to pay tribute, with hopes to return to Chongxin in the future to fulfill their contributions. Moreover, as all celestial beings and buddhas from the upper realms gather today at the Chongxin lineage, all deities, buddhas, and students are urged to refrain from loud noises to avoid disrupting the collective deliberations. It is hoped that everyone will join together to achieve this fulfillment.

Book One: The Great Way and the Apricot Altar — Ancient Astronomy
The Ancient Astronomy of the Great Way and the Apricot Altar
As humanity enters the Earth's space and pursues the orientation of survival, it inevitably takes the evolution of life as its foundation. This is a matter that all sentient beings in the modern world must consider. In light of the rapid advancement of technological civilization and the swift attainment of human societal creation, it is essential to clearly understand where the core issues lie.
Why has there been such evolution of civilization? This can be traced back to the technological civilizations of the First and Second Cosmic Cycles, and even further—how was the entire cosmos and its galaxies before the existence of this Earthly Obscurity Star? These mysteries will be analyzed layer by layer, allowing humanity today to understand these secrets truthfully.
The creation and evolution of this technological civilization, as revealed through ancient astronomy, raises the question: what existed before the galaxies of the universe came into being? It is believed that human technology cannot fully and clearly verify this, offering only broad understanding and speculation. Nor is it certain that such understanding would be entirely accurate—far from it!
This has thus shaped the education of all civilizations, having traversed the journey of all human beings in this twenty-first
Century, how can one understand this divine compassion and grace? It shapes not only the current era of human existence but also transcends it. If it were otherwise, how could it serve as an evolution for all civilizations of the present generation?
The Primary Functions of the Great Way Xingtan
Therefore, it is essential to trace back to the origins and understand that the evolution of human civilization has been shaped by ancient astronomy and ancient technological sciences. For this planet Earth, one must ask: why is it that the Western (Gregorian) calendar records are as they are? Hence, the function of Xingtan education must be clearly understood—it is not merely what was previously referred to as school education alone.
It must be grounded in empirical evidence, not mere speculation. Otherwise, it would be a rather rigid and spoon-fed approach to education, entirely incapable of comprehending the evolutionary role of ancient astronomy within the entire cosmic galaxy. Although humanity has borrowed the expertise of over two million high-tech talents to descend to the Earth Star for research, invention, and creation.
Each individual carries within them a high degree of scientific and technological civilization as they enter the human world. This situation results in every borrowed talent possessing both strengths and shortcomings. Therefore, why does the Heavenly Realm borrow so many high-tech talents to descend and assist? It is to enable each borrowed talent to shoulder different missions according to their own karmic connections, and thus, no single individual is an all-capable inventor or creator.
It is essential to understand that the human world is a realm of mutual constraints and limitations. This imposes significant restrictions on the inventions and creations developed by those with advanced technological expertise, leading humanity to repeatedly revise and refine them. Thus, for the original inventors and creators, what remains is often only the "rough foundation" of their initial work.
The Framework of Ancient Astronomy in the Dadao Xingtan
Human beings have entered this world, yet over the past tens of thousands of years, they have been unable to create the kind of technological civilization we see today. Although there have been records of civilization in the last five or six thousand years, it has been difficult to achieve greater advancements and creations. If any progress has been made, it has only been limited to a small number of inventions and innovations.
Having no fundamental impact on the human world and failing to foster a comprehensive technological civilization, humanity has been unable to break through this predicament for nearly five or six thousand years. As a result, only a small portion of technological civilization has emerged, yet it remains incapable of achieving large-scale mass production.
Thus, humanity has been perpetually engaged in acts of killing, a cycle of slaughter that has persisted for five to six thousand years. It is only by the late 21st century that such human-on-human violence has gradually diminished. Yet, in the present era, this killing has shifted toward other species, forming a comprehensive food chain for sustenance.
It will transform into an alteration of the entire ecosystem. The accumulated negative energy from such acts of killing also manifests as an invisible destructive force upon the entire earth. This creates a vast, unseen lethality within the human world, inevitably leading to great disasters for humanity and all living beings.
The Role of Ancient Astronomical Frameworks
Therefore, the primary intention of the Heavenly Mandate descending upon the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall and the True Buddha Heart Sect lineage to compose "The Great Dao Apricot Altar" is to provide a correct analysis and resolution of the calamities arising from the ignorance of sentient beings. Furthermore, it initiates the first exposition of "Ancient Astronomy" within the Great Dao Apricot Altar.
This interpretation of the entire context provides humanity with a deeper understanding of all human actions and their consequences, which also form the obstacles of karma. There is a greater necessity for analysis to comprehend the entire cosmic galaxy—the Diming Galaxy, which created all human existence—as it truly is.
Human technology has only been able to verify this within the past century or so. In reality, as it unfolds across different times and spaces, it will inevitably validate eras from the far more distant past in the future technological civilization. This process forms a comprehensive understanding of the entire cosmic galaxy, which, after undergoing explosions across different cosmic cycles and epochs, reassembles into the various celestial bodies of the solar system.
The creation of the universe and its galaxies stems from repeated explosions and subsequent reconfigurations. If viewed from the perspective of Earth, the planet where humanity resides, how does this appear? Contemporary scientists can only verify the explosion that occurred approximately 4.6 billion years ago, yet they remain unable to corroborate the existence of an older solar system through the study of ancient human astronomy.
The Fundamentals of Ancient Astronomy
After the overall explosion of all celestial bodies and their subsequent reassembly, the planet Mingxing, where humans reside, now differs from the actual timeline of survival by a substantial gap of 1.8 billion years in spacetime. This discrepancy in the overall reality cannot be denied, yet current technology is only capable of reaching this understanding.
It is essential to understand that the technological civilization of humanity is difficult to trace back to the existence of more ancient celestial bodies. Therefore, modern technology must strive further to achieve broader practical verification, rather than merely taking pride in confirming the current level of technological advancement. Otherwise, the gap between such complacency and genuine empirical proof remains vast.
It is still believed that having obtained practical verification, one is far from truly understanding the evolution of celestial bodies. This necessitates a clear grasp of the deductive processes of ancient astronomy, as well as the distinct functions and roles at each level, in order to more accurately comprehend that the space of the underworld star where humanity resides is merely a phenomenon that has manifested in recent times.
All Evolution in Ancient Astronomy
If we only verify the existence of 4.6 billion years, we have yet to confirm that prior to the last explosion, within this span of 1.8 billion years, there exists even more ancient times. This belongs to another distinct temporal and spatial era. Therefore, concerning the recent technological civilization of the solar system, it generally dates back approximately 5 billion years.
It is exceedingly difficult to verify: how did the civilizations of more ancient times create, and how did the pioneers of civilization act for the sake of all humanity? What is their relationship to the evolution of civilization in the present era? We can only understand that all the technological advancements of the past century have far surpassed the creations of the past five or six thousand years of civilization. Wherein lies the reason for this?
From the perspective of the "Great Dao Xingtan," it serves an educational function for the entirety of ancient astronomy, ancient technology, ancient anthropology, ancient moral studies, and ancient ethics. This provides humanity with a truthful pathway into the 21st century, offering a clear and step-by-step analysis of all emerging civilizations, which is indeed the right way.
When the Great Way first opened at the Apricot Altar,  
Human existence was never meant to be solitary.
Why does technology advance so swiftly,
To bring about well-being for humanity?
The ancient astronomy was grounded in reality,  
yet its changes were unpredictable, following the cycles of the Hui calendar.
The origin of the Great Way lies in the Apricot Altar;  
The foundation of the cosmic star systems rests upon this root.
This verse! Let us encourage one another with fellow sentient beings,  
For the first time at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao.
Furthermore, the development of technology and civilization related to cosmic galaxies will grant humanity greater knowledge and wisdom, enabling self-improvement and future transcendence. This will bestow immense blessings upon all future generations, which is indeed the righteous path.
Wuji Decai, the God of Fortune and Virtue
All cherish the boundless virtue and wealth,
The God of Fortune ascends the stage.
The first assembly at the Apricot Altar of the Great Way,  
The Grand Master descends to arrange the gathering.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Grand Master of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Nāmo Burning Lamp, has descended to initiate this teaching. For the first time in the Great Dao's Hall of Learning, the entire cosmic structure is being initially analyzed for the understanding of all human beings, offering a clear and truthful insight into technological civilization.
Why does such a situation arise? Elevating sentient beings enables upward growth and transcendence. Regarding the first volume of this work, it will unveil the entire framework of the Great Dao Xingtan. It is precisely through this that one can comprehend this volume, "The Great Dao Xingtan." Had it been written in earlier volumes, such heavenly opportunities for dissemination would not have been available. This is also a subtle arrangement by the Heavens, aimed at creating future technological civilizations that genuinely benefit the welfare of all humanity.

The Eighth Assembly at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao: Ancient Scientific Civilization Connected
大道杏壇第九回　   　科技文明蒼生顧
July 22, 2011, the twenty-second day of the sixth lunar month in the year of Xinmao (Friday)
古佛開著第一回　   　古天文學人間隆
The sentient beings of the South Sea are shielded and nurtured;  
The ancient Buddha descends to establish the Apricot Altar.
The Great Dao series unfolds its grand transformation, revealing the true astronomy of the cosmic star systems.
Chapter Two: The Cosmic Galaxy and Celestial Transformations
Astronomical Changes in Cosmic Galaxies
The influence of the universe upon the entire macrocosmic galaxy system reveals that all transformations in the present era differ fundamentally from those of ancient times. In all ancient astronomy, it was through the action of the "Great Explosion" that the myriad changes of the cosmic galaxy system gave rise to diverse celestial bodies.
This process is fundamentally incomprehensible to human beings, and even contemporary scientists are unable to grasp its underlying concepts. Consequently, while relying on the framework of this ancient astronomy, how is it that sentient beings in the present era remain equally incapable of understanding the technology behind this "ancient astronomy"?
It must be verified through science, and without it, there can be no correct and clear direction. Therefore, the role of ancient astronomy is to observe all cosmic galaxies: only by verifying with ancient astronomy can we understand how the technological civilizations of the past came to be. Such conditions and causes are, however, exceedingly difficult to comprehend clearly.
Through the cosmic galaxy space, there exists a kind of latent cause, and this latent cause
Essence, moreover, is the foundation upon which all ancient astronomy was created. It must truly exist within the realm of "nothingness beyond nothingness" to have its own existence. And precisely because there is this realm of "nothingness beyond nothingness," it inevitably stirs and is brought about by the causes contained within.
The Creation Process of Ancient Astronomy
If the functions upheld by this ancient astronomy cannot be readily verified by modern technology, misconceptions will continue to be perpetuated. The planet on which humanity resides, known as the "Ming Star," is still in the early stages of technological advancement in the current era. A considerable span of time and causal conditions will be required before the verifications of "ancient astronomy" can be fully realized.
Without the analysis and revelation from ancient immortals and Buddhas, how could one comprehend the profound mysteries within such opportunities? Therefore, to glimpse the verification of "ancient astronomy" in the technological civilization of humanity, a great span of time and causal conditions must converge, lest it merely revert to speculation.
In the realm of human technological civilization, we can only speculate about the grand direction, yet we remain unable to truly comprehend the holistic evolution of minute details. After all cosmic explosions, how does the greater universe unfold? From the perspective of ancient astronomy, this is also something that cannot be fully grasped or understood.
According to ancient astronomy, within the cosmic galaxy system, there is an extension of the universe's galaxies. After each explosion, the celestial bodies that remain will, over a long period of time and through various causes and conditions, gradually reunite. However, the specific circumstances of these causes and conditions across different times and spaces are never identical.
Ancient Astronomy: Transformations Across Time and Space
Just as humans today must breathe to survive, in the universe's galaxies, various forms of energy do not necessarily require the act of breathing. Moreover, among the celestial bodies, when the explosive causes that exist for each planet converge into one, they transform into future living spaces.
There must exist a kind of energy that transforms through the conditions of time and space, evolving into various different causal substances. It also forms the spaces inhabited by different celestial bodies, precisely because of a distinct type of energy entity that facilitates the creation of all different planets. This formation, shaped by varying conditions, enables the existence of different species.
When celestial bodies are relatively close to each other, this condition forms paired planetary systems, which are essentially "suspended" within the cosmos as a whole. Observing each of these differently aggregated celestial bodies individually, one finds that they possess distinct inherent qualities. It is essential to understand that neighboring celestial bodies inevitably generate energy fields within their proximate regions.
The formation of diverse energies in this region gives rise to numerous variations through mutual causality, transforming into energies of different inherent qualities. These distinct qualities foster further changes, providing the planet with a cohesive energy. This arises from the varied influences of cosmic galaxies and evolves in response to different astronomical phenomena.
The Influence of Cosmic and Galactic Astronomical Changes
Once the "buoyant force" emerges, it also transforms the energy of the celestial body itself. How does it do so? It forms distinct energy bodies for each celestial body, existing within that star system. This condition, for all ancient astronomy, has persisted ever since its inception following the first explosion, sustained by the "buoyant force."
Regarding the myriad beings on that celestial body, it is not merely produced by a single form of energy. There are even planets where no sentient beings exist at all, and where the multitude of souls fundamentally cannot survive. This distinct energy must arise from the convergence of causes and conditions, thereby giving rise to the necessity for the existence of all things.
Human beings possess diverse energies, giving rise to the realm of existence of all things. This is relatively rare among celestial bodies, which is why current scientific observations indicate that most are indeed this way. A considerable span of time and space is necessary to prove that other planetary bodies in different regions also have the necessity of hosting different species.
If we consider the entire astronomical process, it is not so. It is essential to understand that for all human beings, the planet Earth exists precisely in this way. From the human perspective and viewpoint, observing the changes in other cosmic star systems is originally understandable, as human technological civilization is still in its infancy.
The Marvelous Transformations of Ancient Astronomy
The galaxies of the universe all rely on the "force of suspension" within the vast cosmos, inevitably creating a pulling relationship with all such forces and giving rise to balancing acts of restraint. These cosmic galaxies are ever-changing, unpredictable entities, and their celestial transformations do not exist within a single spacetime alone.
Indeed! The celestial systems of the universe are in a state of constant flux, and the same holds true for ancient astronomy. Only by understanding that the entire cosmic system is ever-changing can one grasp its true nature. Moreover, by exploring how these various transformations occur, the evolution of all ancient astronomy will inevitably reach a pivotal moment of genuine civilization.
If, after the initial phase of explosion, the scattered matter coalesces into various star systems, it is only after a considerable length of time that a period of stability and tranquility emerges. This creates the space capable of nurturing all living beings in the universe. For the cosmos as a whole, this process applies equally to all star systems without distinction, and it further gives rise to future living spaces.
Because they are composed of different energy bodies, different energy entities exist, as is the case throughout all cosmic galaxies. In light of ancient astronomical changes, there are hardly any celestial bodies or living beings that remain eternally unchanged. This living space is in a state of constant flux, giving rise to numerous unstable realms.
The Imprint of All Epochs in Human Science
Why has ancient astronomy continuously evolved? Up to the present era, all celestial bodies have been ceaselessly created, giving rise to different dimensions of time and space and various causes and conditions. Some harbor the existence of all living beings, while others merely exist as lifeless, desolate spheres. There are also those that contain galaxies inhabited by diverse sentient beings, accompanied by civilizations of remarkably advanced technology.
This is the existence that encompasses all things, a state of constant change, with continuous fluctuations in the orientation of survival. Within the cosmic principles, all celestial bodies generate mutual attraction, while also restraining the forces of mutual pull among nearby stars, thereby creating a balanced and harmonious space.
The cosmic galaxies and astronomical phenomena undergo changes across all different periods, serving as a precursor for all future existing galaxies. Yet, what galaxy remains unchanging? Even dead galaxies continue to transform. Thus, humanity and all living beings are also in constant flux. Have we ever truly contemplated the nature of this spacetime? This question will be further explored in the next discussion.
Created by the celestial bodies of the cosmos,  
Ever-changing, elusive to comprehend.
It is essential to understand that this is so — the entire galaxy is the Great Dao.
The transformation of the Dao finds its ultimate refuge;  
Thus is the evolution of the universe.
There must be different elements and substances that come together to meet within it.
This verse is shared to encourage all sentient beings together! From the second session of the Great Dao Xingtan.
The analysis presented here offers a general understanding of "ancient astronomy" and is corroborated by contemporary human technological civilization, yet it only points toward a broad direction. It remains difficult to fully comprehend the authenticity of all its deductive processes.
Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
Profound and deep are the causes and conditions of the Wuji;  
Thus does the Central Altar ascend the stage to act.
Marshal Gu Zhui is both quaint and adorable,  
May everyone be blessed with auspiciousness and abundant virtue.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the presiding immortal of the Great Dao Apricot Altar, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose this work. In this second installment, we shall analyze the workings of celestial changes in the cosmic star systems, making them clear to all, as they are interconnected through mutual growth and karmic relationships.
Regarding the future works of the "Dadao Xingtan," it is essential to proceed in this manner. Through the analysis of the celestial texts within the "Dadao Xingtan," knowledge and concepts will be imparted to foster growth among all. This will create favorable conditions and virtuous affinities for upward advancement, genuinely benefiting and elevating sentient beings with compassion, enabling them to transcend and progress.

杏壇天書第三回　   　天文星系各區量
Chapter Three: Celestial Bodies and Star Systems Spread Across All Regions
Astronomical star systems are distributed across all regions.
The formation of the universe is a process of existence within the vast cosmic space, wherein a certain energy entity merges with diverse causal substances, creating and integrating all that is brought into being. This energy entity also undergoes numerous transformations, continuously expanding and diffusing throughout the entire space of the great cosmos.
When energy bodies are infused with different causal substances, a state of disharmony and disruption arises, giving birth to various energies of distinct causal qualities. If these energies remain unaltered, they undergo drastic transformations, culminating in a "Great Explosion." Following this event, all cosmic space emerges, along with numerous regional star systems.
In each region, additional energy is infused, creating mutual attraction and tension. At this time, the galaxies within the vast cosmos have yet to be positioned. To integrate these unpositioned galaxies, the operation of the Great Dao is required, thereby facilitating all future evolution and dispersing astronomical galaxies across various regions.
Moreover, because after the explosion of the vast cosmos, each type of energy entity formed
It possesses the capacity for absorption, as well as the function of mutual repulsion and pulling. At this moment, if observed from the perspective of a galaxy that has not yet settled into a fixed position, numerous changes will arise, forming interactions of mutual pulling and absorption with nearby energy bodies.
Astronomical star systems are distributed across all regions.
In such circumstances, the various energy entities existing within the vast cosmic space inevitably coalesce to form more substantial energetic bodies, which then gather and combine with other energies. This process gives rise to star systems within each regional domain, existing before any fixed positions are established, often in a state of constant flux and unpredictability.
Subsequently, in different regions, numerous species come into existence, forming a dependency on the cosmic space. Before the emergence of other celestial bodies, these processes, over time, undergo prolonged cooling, thereby shaping the energetic entities in which species exist.
At this moment, throughout the cosmic space, the supporting forces of energy from different celestial bodies are established, allowing these bodies to exhibit varying capacities for absorption and repulsion. It is precisely due to their immense absorbing energy that they can grow and strengthen their own power, while also enabling other neighboring energy entities to coalesce into a unified energy field.
This mutual absorption process generates immense thermal energy, which becomes integrated following each overall explosion. It is precisely due to these repeated cycles of explosion that these energy bodies continuously expand, gathering all neighboring energy bodies to form distinct celestial bodies. This, in turn, creates the space necessary for the future existence of all things.
The Role of Ancient Astronomical Star Systems
This kind of buoyant force has not yet extended to the planets attached to these relatively lighter energy bodies. As a result, energy bodies of varying sizes intensify their gathering force, which in turn generates many repulsive forces. This allows these relatively similar energy bodies to coalesce into the existence of ordinary planetary bodies.
In the vast cosmic space, all existing celestial bodies can be said to have harbored no living species at that time, nor any forms of life. It was only through successive cycles of mutual explosions that this particular spacetime continuum was sustained. Over a span of nearly one hundred million years, it gradually cooled down.
At this moment, all the planetary bodies after the explosion also lack the energy to operate, leading to the formation of other energies that attract and repel. Under such conditions, different attracting factors emerge, persisting in spaces with relatively more energetic bodies. These factors also exist among different planetary bodies, accumulating through mutual attraction and causal connections.
If there were mutual exclusion among causes and conditions, there would be no opportunity for mutual existence. The energy sustained by such an entity, before it has cooled, continues to accumulate, thereby fulfilling the creation of mutual causal qualities. This sustained energy, precisely as one massive block after another connects, forms the process through which different energies persist.
The Astronomical Technology of the Great Way Xingtan
Gradually, it coalesced into a vast, integrated species space, and slowly began to incorporate rotating energy bodies into its own operational processes. Before this mechanism had fully stabilized, immense rotational energy gradually emerged. How, then, did this affect the operation of its own galaxy?
This is precisely the issue with integration: it involves the initiation of rotational energy in the process of existence. If the convergence of different integrations is disregarded, the energy of these species will be cast toward other celestial bodies. If mutual integration is possible, they will become part of that celestial body. This is how all galaxies in the universe operate.
If fusion cannot occur, it will be thrown toward other celestial bodies time and again, forming a distinction in the vicinity as to whether all thrown objects can achieve fusion. Moreover, because this mutual fusion represents for each celestial body a karmic entity of interdependence, it also transforms into a "new celestial body" in the future.
If they cannot merge, they will be flung toward neighboring planets during the rotation process—this is yet another observable physical phenomenon. Thus, in the course of technological civilization's ancient astronomy, it took nearly two to three hundred million years for different rotational functions to gradually develop, and all that was incompatible was cast off to other planets.
The perpetual transformations of ancient astronomical constellations.
Gradually, the excess portions are pared away, propelled by the force of rotation. For each celestial body in the future, if there are surplus regions, they will be trimmed by the rotational force. It is then that the slow process of rotation begins, also forming a buoyant force that provides support.
This situation results in the formation of these surplus regions, which are cast toward other celestial bodies, transforming each into a rotating planet. Each planet has undergone a mutual fusion, and due to the different inherent qualities of energy among various celestial bodies, diverse energy entities exist. This is precisely the composition of various planets.
On other different celestial bodies, these surplus portions are absorbed, eventually forming future "new celestial bodies," which accounts for the existence of many high mountains. Moreover, among all the different energy bodies that have accumulated together in the past, a significant portion is mutually aggregated, precisely due to the existence of various distinct spaces.
The Mutual Sustenance of the Supporting and Floating Forces
This results in each component not necessarily being tightly interlocked. When such astronomical phenomena are projected toward other celestial bodies, neighboring planets similarly experience both gravitational pull and repulsive forces. All the absorbed energy from a "new celestial body" is then transformed, enabling the host planet to become self-sufficient.
It manifests through the supporting forces that uphold the vast cosmos, and it is precisely due to this supporting power that the rotation and fusion of all celestial bodies are formed. Within such astronomical transformations, varying degrees of cohesion exist, and through rotation, an internal, mutually compacted density is achieved.
This applies to different energy entities, and there are also distinct realms of existence, which necessitate a certain force. At this point, by applying a "rotational force" to these different energy entities, those capable of existing are gradually gathered into a greater force and region.
Rotational force generates mutual attraction.
At this moment, when the energies of all galactic systems converge, a force emerges to push and repel, expelling incompatible energetic matter from all celestial bodies. Thus, each planet, with its distinct energy, possesses a unique driving force, inevitably enabling every celestial body to rotate with its own inherent power.
Thus, a supporting force of the grand cosmic galaxies is established, which in turn creates the rotational power for the future, enabling the implementation of the established principles. Moreover, as the energy of the Great Dao initially did not establish any guiding rules or regulations for all celestial bodies, different collisions gradually arose among them, leading to the emergence of many celestial entities.
The formation of various celestial bodies of different sizes, sustained through long-term evolution within the vast universe, is the process of integration and transformation in ancient astronomy as a whole. For humanity, this first established a conceptual framework of knowledge, one that is profoundly grounded in reality.
The process of existence creates individuals; each galaxy resides in the vastness of cosmic space.
Different energies together, mutual absorption becomes easier.
Repulsion is cast upon him,  
As transformations across different galaxies are achieved.
Absorbing the energy of support and buoyancy, the rotational force is considerable.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement! In the third session of the Great Way’s Apricot Altar, we analyze the distinctions among different celestial systems in astronomical wonders, hoping it may benefit everyone.
The concept of further evolution and elevation is oriented toward upward growth. How can we bring all these elements together? It also allows oneself to cultivate both blessings and wisdom in tandem.
Today, this old monk has once again descended upon the Chongxin Hall lineage. Wishing to bestow something more? Let me simply add a bit of "blessings" for everyone! I shall also grant a measure of "wisdom" in full. As long as one learns to apply them separately, they may cultivate both blessings and wisdom. Yet, this also depends on each individual's innate qualities and conditions, which will vary. Tonight, there is indeed a special grace! Do not envy, now.
Wuji Yaochi  
Guardian Treasure Immortal Child
The Wuji Jade Pond's treasure descends in splendor,  
As the immortal youth ascends the stage to meet the virtuous.
May all be auspicious and well,  
With joy and prosperity, wisdom and blessings swell.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Tao Apricot Altar is honored by the presence of the presiding immortal Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, who descends to compose this discourse. In the third session of the Great Tao Apricot Altar, an astronomical wonder will be analyzed, offering knowledge and perspectives on the origins of all cosmic galaxies to foster everyone’s growth.
It is precisely because of this understanding that we must comprehend the forces that support the entire cosmic galaxy. To grasp this "ancient astronomy," it is essential to acquire the wisdom to recognize it, thereby expanding and elevating the realm of thought through growth. What do you all think? Indeed, this is something we must strive diligently to achieve.

Chapter Eighteen: Civilization and Technology — Genetic Modification
杏壇天書第三回　   　天文星系各區量
Homage to the profound teachings in the human realm,  
Virtue ascends the void, fortune thus attained.
The Ancient Buddha of Humanity and Heaven established the Apricot Altar,  
where all stars align to chart the course of the Great Path.
Chapter Four: The Stars Align, All Paths Converge
All stars find their place, the great path converges as one.
Since the cosmic horizon burst, it has generated a considerable collective force, creating numerous repulsive effects. This force, which supports all galaxies, has become a substantial power, simultaneously pulling them into mutual tension. As a result, a state of mutual equilibrium has formed, existing within the space of the universe.
This condition is based on the galaxies of the vast universe, facilitating interactions among them. Before the creation of the cosmic galaxies, different causal energies were infused into various celestial bodies. These energies represent the accumulation of inherent causal essences within each future celestial body, evolving into distinct energetic forms.
For all cosmic galaxies, there must exist fundamental conditions, which also form substantial energy entities. These conditions generate varying causal energies for the creation of future celestial bodies, giving rise to the realms in which all future living beings exist. It is through these different causal energies that transformations occur, from the largest celestial bodies down to the smallest microorganisms—all follow the same principle.
All the components after the explosion reassembled in different star systems, affecting neighboring planets.
The body is generated through the act of absorption, and it also gives rise to mutual repulsion. This phenomenon, which exists across all celestial bodies, frequently triggers the gathering of a planet's own energy, thereby allowing these energy forms to take shape as future existences.
The Positioning of the Stars: The Framework of the Great Dao Sharing the Same Origin
After the transformation of the cosmic galaxies themselves, new combinations of different galaxies emerge. In the current era, however, it remains difficult to gain a deeper understanding of the content, evolution, and creation of these phenomena within the framework of ancient astronomical theories. Similarly, following the "Big Bang," a reorganization of all celestial bodies took place.
Furthermore, regarding the attachment to energy bodies of different planets in the future, if viewed from the perspective of the entire galaxy: the planetary energies of each region are not merely a single, interchangeable energy body. In fact, the positioning formed by different regions within the cosmic galaxy determines their distinct existences, shaping the spaces where all things will reside in the future.
The operation of the Great Dao involves rotating the positions of all cosmic galaxies, thereby generating a supporting force. This supporting force gives rise to the distinct positioning of different star systems. It is precisely because the Great Dao converges through diverse paths that, in the future, varying energy entities will produce a powerful collective force acting upon each celestial body.
Furthermore, due to this gathering force, celestial bodies formed in different times and spaces continuously expand their domains to assert their existence. This expansion occurs by absorbing and merging with neighboring celestial bodies. The greater this force, the more it draws in nearby celestial bodies to coalesce, precisely within regions of varying energies.
The Changes Deduced from the Positions of the Stars
It will transform into a larger energy body, intensifying its gravitational pull and drawing all nearby celestial bodies into its orbit. As it grows excessively massive, it eventually becomes unable to sustain its own structural integrity and explodes. Following such an explosion, the cycle of absorption and repulsion continues to repeat indefinitely.
These celestial bodies, after expanding to their utmost limit, inevitably split into two or more new bodies. This phenomenon disrupts the orderly operation of the Dao during such periods, creating an unstable spatial environment. Through various "Big Bang"-like transformations, these astronomical wonders give rise to numerous celestial bodies, allowing cosmic dust to continuously accumulate throughout the universe.
This process represents the continuous transformation of the entire cosmos, where all energetic celestial bodies exist. It is a perpetual cycle of absorption and change, simultaneously accompanied by various repulsive forces. Within the operation of the "Great Dao," after a period of future quiescence, the spacetime that persists will gradually come to a state of stillness.
It also allows each celestial body to have a stabilizing effect. When all cosmic bodies are positioned simultaneously, a balance of mutual gravitational forces is generated, which is exactly as it should be. Otherwise, a situation of mutual collisions would inevitably arise. With the universal principles of the "Great Dao in operation" as the foundation, such troubles do not occur.
The universe and its galaxies are positioned by the same origin of the Great Dao.
Each celestial body, generating distinct energies, performs a balancing act of mutual restraint, thereby increasing the distances between all celestial bodies. As this situation forms and all distances expand, there inevitably exists a mutual "force of restraint," which also transforms into a mutual "force of pulling."
Gradually diminishing, it also reduces the pulling forces generated between them, while mutually assisting in the "balancing effect." This astronomical force constitutes a significant driving motion for all cosmic galaxies. Once positions are established, the existing energy bodies gradually provide stable support.
Only then will diverse living beings emerge in the future, dependent on the survival conditions of their respective planets. This explains why different planetary bodies across various regions inevitably possess distinct energetic signatures of species, a phenomenon also observed among neighboring celestial bodies. However, the mere presence of similar energetic forms does not guarantee the existence of life.
This is a principle beyond human comprehension, and why such a principle exists must be understood through the operation of the Great Dao as a whole. Why does this principle exist as something obscure and unseen? Yet, without witnessing the complete "operation of the Great Dao," all celestial bodies follow this norm, constrained to their orbital paths.
The Necessity of Utilizing Yin-Ming Resources for Humanity
In reality, such conditions would not arise at all after the explosion of all celestial bodies. It is necessary for different "pulling forces," "buoyant forces," and "balancing forces" to interact with one another. Only when these energy entities emerge in mutual relation can the overall function of the "Great Dao in operation" be realized.
This phenomenon can be understood in the current era through the knowledge of ergonomic principles, and will also be applied as a guiding standard for the principles of all things in the future, serving the survival of humanity. This principle exists within the "hidden material resources" of future human beings, possessing the power of restorative function.
Regarding this function of boundless existence, with a bit of careful consideration, one can understand the underlying principles. It also forms the restorative function of energy for all celestial bodies in ancient times, allowing the overall "operation of the Great Dao" to stem from the repair of diverse energies, which in turn acts upon the static functional bodies of various celestial spheres.
The resources of the underworld provide benefits to humanity.
It is precisely a kind of wave energy generated by "balancing force, buoyant force, and pulling force," which possesses the "silent function" of a repairing force, that can explain why all cosmic galaxies achieve a state of restful stillness. Why do they undergo repair? Why does energy arise? It is all achieved through this very process.
The operation of the Great Dao:  
It is from these three forces that the existence of all future beings arises, and there is also the restorative force that mends and renews. How, then, is this principle understood? How does it generate vitality throughout the entire cosmos and its galaxies? And what, in turn, is the function of the still (quiescent) force?
In the future writings, the role of repairing all living beings and celestial bodies will be fully understood. It will also unveil all cosmic restorative energies and reveal the existence of the collective "dark and obscure substances" in relation to humanity. The evolution of future technological civilization will proceed accordingly, and everyone may verify that this energy is indeed immense.
The Principles of Ancient Astronomy: The Functions of Stillness Must Be Clearly Understood
The power of buoyancy holds great energy, while the force of pulling and tugging lays the foundation for blessings.
By balancing function, one can comprehend; all applications proceed along the great path.
The dark and obscure elements of matter  
Nourish the wisdom that mends all things.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement! It addresses the fundamental aspects of human existence.
How can materials be utilized according to their principles? They can be used to create and repair the energy of all living beings.
To advance towards a greater technological civilization, it is hoped that the Chongxin lineage can proceed in this direction, innovating and creating through these energy systems. This will benefit both others and oneself.
Wuji Yaochi, the Lingbao Immortal Child
The Limitless Jasper Pool descends from above,  
The Spirit-Treasure Immortal Children line up on the stage.
The true master comes to unveil the mysteries,  
The great path of the cosmic galaxies unfolds.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the true presiding master of our lineage, Namo Void Upper Virtue Human-Heaven Ancient Buddha, has descended to compose the fourth installment of the Great Dao Xingtan. This work analyzes the engineering principle of positioning all stars and unifying them in the Great Dao, offering everyone a renewed perspective.
For future generations of humanity, it is essential to understand that the human world must embrace a fundamental concept: the ability to utilize the "dark and obscure materials" of this world is what aligns with true reality. It is also hoped that the Chongxin lineage will gather scientific and technological talents in the future to pioneer this form of technological civilization, which will benefit both oneself and all sentient beings.
Without a steadfast will to propagate and transform, it would be difficult to achieve progress and elevation in this regard. It is essential to proceed step by step and strive diligently for future expansion. The outcome will greatly depend on the vision of those in charge, and it will serve a significant function in benefiting the promotion and dissemination of the Chongxin lineage. This lies in all favorable and virtuous conditions, leading to growth and benefit.

大道杏壇第五回　   　肇基定位眾靈依
Chapter Five: Celestial Positioning, Galactic Foundations
The Celestial Positioning System Transmits the Foundation of the Galaxy.
Sentient beings within the vast galactic system possess an inherent necessity for continued existence. Once the positioning of the galaxy is established, they can attain genuine stability in their survival. This stability forms a supportive force within the cosmic galaxy, upholding the positioning of the entire galactic system. Only with such a stabilizing force can the exertion of all supporting powers be effectively facilitated.
This situation has a stabilizing effect on the astronomical phenomenon of the "Great Dao of the Universe." After the explosion of the Big Bang, a long period of "stillness and silence" in time and space is necessary to produce this stabilizing effect. It also means that during the process of fluctuation and change, it becomes difficult for all living beings and species to emerge.
This solar system must possess both "photosynthesis" and "yin synthesis" to enable the emergence of all things. This essential function facilitates the continuous interaction of all living beings, fostering their flourishing growth. Only after all cosmic star systems are properly positioned can the harmony and stability of each star system be fully manifested.
It will also form "photosynthesis" and "yin synthesis," giving rise to all living things.
Survival and continuation are indeed necessary, and human thought must encompass the concept of photosynthesis, because humanity exists within the dynamic interplay of the sun and moon, which gives rise to photosynthesis. This is the direction in which the human mind can contemplate.
Astronomical Stellar Positioning and Transmission
If one does not comprehend that the entire cosmic galaxy operates under varying energies, and merely fixates on the existence of "photosynthesis" on certain celestial bodies, that understanding represents only a minuscule fraction of human knowledge. As for whether other star systems function similarly, it is by no means certain! Once departing from the solar system, other planets fundamentally lack the emergence of photosynthesis.
In the overall cosmic galaxy system, over seventy percent of regions are unlikely to support photosynthesis, thereby giving rise to the emergence of dark synthesis. It is essential to understand why this form of energy body possesses the capacity to fully integrate all "dark and obscure materials." One must recognize that the restoration of the energy body originates from the replenishment provided by these "dark and obscure materials."
There exists a kind of continuity: manifested through the forces of buoyancy, tension, and balance, which precisely embody the mending function of the "Great Dao." This also gives rise to the question: what happens if there is any deficiency or lack in the cosmic galaxies? It is these forces of buoyancy, tension, and balance that generate the mutual functions of the "Great Dao."
Across all cosmic galaxies, various forms of restorative energy manifest, extending their force to all inner mountains and lowlands, as well as to all living beings, mending every deficiency and lack. This immense power arises from the collective buoyant force that upholds existence, creating both a pulling strength and a function of balance.
Only when the celestial bodies and star systems are properly aligned can the foundation be established.
This power, when plainly stated, is a manifestation of the "operation of the Great Dao." Humanity can use this power to research and develop ways to harness the energy of "dark and obscure materials." It is precisely what all beings in the universe—both visible and invisible—possess, and it serves as a restorative function of the "Great Dao."
This kind of force has the function of coalescing (binding together) all restorative energy for all living beings and all things. It also forms the fundamental causal substance for the emergence and continuation of future sentient beings. Observable as energy entities akin to "extremely minute bacteria," it is absolutely true that it possesses the function of repairing all matter.
Furthermore, by applying an overall buoyant force, the scenario of collisions can be avoided. This pulling force must possess a balancing function to safeguard internal stability, thereby preventing the formation of immense destructive power following collisions with neighboring celestial bodies. This ensures that all living beings inhabiting the planet are spared from even greater devastation.
The ability to comprehend the support and buoyancy generated for the whole reveals a remarkably extensive restorative function. It is precisely this buoyant force that gives rise to an energetic entity of restoration. Only through the rotation of this buoyant force can a vast restorative function emerge from within the spinning motion.
Only with the positioning of each star system is there room for the growth of all spirits.
The forces of attraction between celestial bodies, though invisible to the naked eye, are made comprehensible through the lens of spacetime technology and its underlying principles. This pulling force is essentially a condensed form of lifting and mending energy, serving as a function of balance. Originating from this type of energy entity, all these elements combine together.
The formation of the repair function is a vast energy entity. Whether for all living beings or various celestial bodies after their destruction, this repair function is essential for replenishment and will rapidly facilitate healing. It is through the application of this repair function that the fundamental essence of all things is sustained.
After a period of time, various distinct substances emerge, which also become prominent relative to other species. This phenomenon is consistent across the entire cosmic galaxy. Moreover, due to the energies of different celestial bodies, these species undergo processes of survival and continuity, which serve to rapidly compensate for changes.
It originates from the fundamental essence of all living beings, through which this repair function has evolved. The reason why sentient beings persistently face the issue of survival is precisely due to an evolutionary instinct. This instinct enables the evolution from this fundamental essence, thereby giving rise to repair capabilities, which in turn facilitate the continuous transformation into more superior species.
Only when the galaxy is stable and harmonious can all living beings survive.
Even among human beings, it is the same. Observing the time and space of the past ten thousand years, the evolution in the genetic quality of all human beings has not surpassed the advanced primordial qualities of these ancient cosmic cycles. However, in the past century, it can be said that the fundamental qualities of human beings have indeed undergone a significant foundational evolution.
It is precisely due to the workings of a certain *Shang Cang* (Heaven) borrowing and employing forces that the fundamental constitution of humanity has been altered, and the capacity for restoration has evolved—this originates from an evolution that is formless and shapeless. In the present era, there is no technological civilization capable of verifying the constitution of such immense energy, which is precisely the total energy of the "Great Dao."
The distinction between the "supporting force," "pulling force," and "balancing force" that govern the motion of each celestial body constitutes the fundamental framework of what humanity refers to as the "Great Dao." Why, then, do these three forces—supporting, pulling, and balancing—generate such immense power?
The Great Dao, in its entirety, inherently encompasses the Way of Nature.
Furthermore, it facilitates the overall framework of the Great Dao as articulated by humanity, thereby generating a vast and profound function of repairing the cosmic galaxies and all living beings. Within this energy entity lies the capacity for "supporting, pulling, and balancing" derived from every star system in the universe. These three functions mutually assist in the operational dynamics.
Why is the overall function of the Dao precisely so? It is because of this comprehensive power of the Dao that it drives the entire universe, galaxies, and all things to undergo ceaseless transformations. The same holds true for humanity and all living beings—from birth to old age and death, in which moment or space is there no change? All is indeed in constant flux!
It is precisely through the continuous transformation of human beings and all living things that we can observe the changes year after year. All of these are manifestations of the Great Dao, generated through its functions of repair and destruction. Why is there both a repair function and a destruction function? This is precisely due to the unceasing evolution of the entire "cosmic star system."
The operation of the Great Dao enables all living beings to survive.
What if it were only about the function of repair? That would mean everything comes to a standstill, ceasing all movement, and only then would the function of repair manifest. If that were the case, all cosmic galaxies would be unable to continue evolving. They would become trapped solely within the function of repair, making it difficult for the evolutionary role of destruction to emerge.
This process is precisely the evolutionary function of each celestial body, which continuously fosters innovation. It ensures that all living beings, from birth to old age and death, are in a state of constant change. Only after passing through old age and death can they transition to another time and space to continue their transformation. It is truly difficult for everyone to fully comprehend this cycle of evolution and renewal!
This cosmic and astronomical technology is beyond the comprehension of human beings. The positioning and continuity of celestial systems in relation to all sentient beings give rise to cycles of recurrence (reincarnation). This principle applies to the heavens and the earth, to each passing year in the human world, to the life of flowers, plants, and trees, and even more so to the four seasons of the human realm.
The evolution of the cosmic galaxies  
Within their positioning lies virtuous brilliance.
All beings grow within it,  
and there is ceaseless transformation.
Why must humans mend and tend,  
So that diverse energies never end?
The manifestation of destructive power brings about a painful demise.
This verse! Let us encourage each other with compassion for all sentient beings. Moreover, the positioning of the cosmic galaxies is sustained by the very galaxy in which all living beings exist, and it will also reside within the "dark and obscure material realm."
Within this, the evolution and healing endowed with restorative functions represent a form of evolution of a greater energy entity, which human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend.

大道杏壇第六回　   　星球旋轉大道由
Chapter Six: Planetary Rotation — The Energy of the Great Dao
The rotation of celestial bodies is the energy of the Great Dao.
Sentient beings across various celestial bodies find their survival and comfort by relying on their respective star systems. The energy that the vast cosmos imparts to each celestial body is formed through three forces: "supporting force, pulling force, and balancing force." These together constitute what is known as the "Great Dao's rotation," an energetic framework that provides the fundamental basis for the activities of all living beings in the universe.
Viewed from the perspective of each celestial body, this condition is an energy entity propelled by a rotational force, which is referred to as the functional body of the 'Great Dao.' It necessarily operates in this manner for every planet, and through the support of this rotational force, it fosters a stable existence for all living beings in the universe.
Regardless of the size, species, or energy form of any entity, all are based on the rotation of this great Dao. Therefore, there is no distinction between what are referred to in modern terms as planets and stars—both must take the "great Dao" as their fundamental reference point. It exists within the functional roles of these celestial bodies, providing a stabilizing and harmonious force for all living beings and myriad things on the planets.
It is precisely based on this principle of buoyancy, and this buoyant force originates from the great cosmos.
Within the cosmos, there exists an immense energy that sustains the existence of all celestial bodies. The forces of attraction and balance exerted upon each planet by this energy are what humanity refers to as the "Great Dao."
All dynamic forces of the planet
Moreover, it applies equally to different celestial bodies, without distinction between planets, stars, and their surrounding satellites. This condition endows the vast universe with a substantial energy entity, which facilitates support through rotational forces and provides considerable energy to sustain stability, thereby safeguarding the internal equilibrium of these celestial bodies.
The formation of all rotational forces is calculated for each light-year. Consequently, different planets have varying statistics of light-years, leading to the necessity for some celestial bodies to undergo photosynthesis in order for all living beings to exist. This phenomenon occurs primarily in star systems closer to the sun, where photosynthesis can take shape.
However! The majority of celestial bodies fundamentally lack this kind of photosynthesis. Moreover, because they exist within the energy field of "dark matter," it is referred to as "yin harmonization" or mutual interaction. This dark matter yin harmonization inevitably leads to detrimental repair functions for the celestial bodies, encompassing all living beings that inhabit them.
Transforming into every form of all beings, why does such self-healing capability exist? Within the benchmark of the "Great Dao," it originates from the energy intrinsic to the planet itself—that is, the "Ultimate Source of the Great Dao." This ultimate source not only repairs and restores the self-healing functions of each planet but also encompasses all beings: the capacity for self-healing.
The Force That Upholds the Celestial Spheres
All living beings that exist within the inner space, from the vast mountains and towering peaks to the tiniest bacteria and other species, possess a self-healing capability. When subjected to invasion or damage by external factors, they transform into different genetic forms to survive, leading to the addition and alteration of different genes.
This celestial body possesses a self-healing and stabilizing function, precisely because it has the great Dao as its ultimate source, which gives rise to the existence of all things and living beings. Thus, in the human world, it is this "great Dao that serves as the foundation." However, how is it that the multitude of humanity is unable to perceive the conditions of this "ultimate foundation of the great Dao"? It is exceedingly difficult!
Furthermore, it gives rise to all living beings and myriad things. Why do they possess an inherent capacity for self-healing? The formation of each sentient being is accompanied by a congenital immune function, which also implies that all human beings originate from the "dark and obscure material substance," endowed with a repair function. This is what constitutes the self-healing ability in humans.
Before the era when sentient beings possessed material substance, this innate immune function already existed. Even in the present age, due to the presence of material substance, the immune functions of humanity and all living beings have greatly diminished. This aspect of human medical science must be transformed through physical means: it is endowed with the innate immune function.
The power of the Great Dao in the formation of stars
They too became human beings among all living creatures. The reason for the invention of such instruments lies in directly altering the genetic essence of all beings and creations. This is achieved through the functions created by technological civilization, which also transforms human material civilization. For all those who in the past lacked innate immunity, it was difficult to possess a healthy body.
The formation of modern humanity has consistently given rise to the emergence of many tumors of ignorance. This is precisely human technology, which must undergo a process of stabilizing transformation. Only then, after events unfold, will many civilizational ailments arise. From the perspective of the Great Dao: how should humanity and all living beings in the world respond?
As for the innate immune functions originally possessed, they have gradually been lost. What has caused this to occur? If humans were to engage in the activities they were originally meant to, they would naturally sweat, and sweating would then give rise to metabolic functions. Nowadays, however, most people spend their time sheltered in air-conditioned rooms, gradually losing the physical activity they ought to maintain.
Gradually losing their innate immunity, one might consider whether these external animals possess a stronger innate immune function than humans, leading to greater improvement and health. This has given rise to the saying, "To live, one must move." Yet, in modern times, humans are increasingly inactive. How, then, can they maintain a healthy body? Such neglect inflicts harm and devastation upon the human physique.
Only when the planet remains still can it have the energy for repair.
However, times have changed. After the continuous explosions of such extraterrestrial celestial bodies, the projection of solar factors toward human beings has made it extremely difficult for all humanity to maintain physical comfort. It has become exceedingly challenging to possess a healthy body, and the development of technological civilization is bound to alter the adaptive functions of the human body.
Dark and obscure substances, in relation to the evolution of human medical technology, necessitate an understanding that the advancement of human medicine is rooted in the restorative function of these dark substances. This generates an energetic entity within contemporary medical science and technology that is destined to be wisely utilized for the benefit of all humanity in the future, serving as the foundation for all restorative processes.
Transformed into this form of energy, it exists within the entirety of the planet Diming, and is referred to as the ultimate source of the Great Dao. Modern scientists have yet to discover this restorative function, which is inherently necessary for technological civilization and originates from the entire planet—it has long existed and is called: the energy of the Great Dao, which is embedded within all planets.
Principles of Physical Engineering Technology
Once a celestial body ceases to rotate, it loses this foundational energy of the Great Dao's totality. This source energy, which serves as the very basis of the Great Dao's overall power, exists within every rotating celestial body. It also safeguards all living beings across the stars, each endowed with distinct energies.
All living beings possess the innate capacity for restoration and repair—but from where does this ability originate? It stems from the very source of the Great Dao. Once we grasp this fundamental truth, how then should we wisely apply these "dark and obscure resources"? How might they be harnessed for the evolution and restoration of all energy beings in the future, and how can their reparative functions be effectively utilized?
It is essential to understand: what is human physical science? The evolution of this human physical science will also catalyze all "counter-forces," and only by completely transforming human modes of thinking and concepts can it achieve greater evolutionary efficacy. This is precisely because the "energy of counter-forces or non-forces" constitutes the very source of the overarching power of the "Great Dao."
The function of the Dao's energy in the rotation of celestial bodies.
Furthermore, because there exists a kind of "photosynthesis" on the planet Diming, but in other star systems of the universe, this photosynthesis is absent, replaced instead by a kind of "yin synthesis." In this way, human beings can apply it to medical technology in the physical realm, thereby obtaining a broader and more extensive source of energy in the future.
Derived from the supporting and lifting forces of the entire planet, which generate pulling and balancing forces, this mutual causality gives rise to an intangible restorative function. For all living beings, this destructive function serves as a catalyst for metabolism. The true path lies in how to evolve and harness this restorative function.
When the changes caused by destructive energies are restrained, human beings can reduce the impact of life's impermanence. In the future, the evolution of medical science within technological civilization will enable the extension of human lifespan, much like in the first cosmic era, when three thousand years did not mark the end of life. Such technological civilization will gradually emerge.
The function of the rotating force is applied,  
The great Dao shares the same root as the whole.
The application of dark matter is vast, capable of altering the functions of the human body.
The lifespan of humanity must be rooted in the essence of science and technology.
The resources of the underworld are gathered,  
Used wisely, they hold destined connections.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings, for the evolution of ancient astronomy is closely related to human lifespan. By extending human lifespan, we can benefit the sentient beings of today. How, then, should we seek and attain this? In the future, it will surely come to pass as truth.
Benefiting, it also offers humanity the growth to transcend.
Wuji Yaochi, Phoenix Qiong Immortal Maiden
From the Boundless Cause, a sacred heart descends;  
From the Jade Pond, the Phoenix Qiong joyfully arrives.
The fairy maiden ascends the stage to meet the divine,  
All gather in auspicious gratitude and virtuous deeds.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Emperor Pangu, who separated heaven and earth, has descended to compose the sixth installment of the Great Dao Xingtan. The rotational energy of the Great Dao of the planet is analyzed in relation to the dark matter it possesses, which originates from the integration of human physical science and technology into the evolution of medicine.
It will possess a significant restorative function, simultaneously extending human lifespan to reach the three thousand years of the First Cosmic Era. Wouldn't everyone envy that? Precisely because, across era after era, all evolutionary effects accumulate and mature, such evolutionary restorative functions are essential for the survival of humanity and all sentient beings. This, in turn, serves as a form of evidential ascension.

Chapter Seven: Comfort and Stability for All Beings to Dwell
Comfort and stability for all beings to dwell in peace.
Across the vast cosmos and the varied star systems of heaven and earth, the evolution of all things gives rise to the nurturing grace of the Great Dao. This is achieved through the three forces of "supporting, pulling, and balancing," which serve as the central pivot for all manifestations of the Dao. They operate harmoniously within the entire star system, fostering a mutual fulfillment that ensures peace and comfort for all living beings in their respective dwelling spaces.
The movements of the Great Cosmos Star System bring about a profound sense of stability and comfort for all living beings. It is precisely due to this stabilizing function that the forces of support emitted by the planets themselves, combined with the forces of attraction, mutually assist in achieving a balanced force. This results in a long-lasting point of equilibrium and tranquility.
This gives rise to a restorative function within the planetary body, enabling all living beings to share in this same restorative capacity. It forms a stabilizing influence within that planetary sphere, which is not constrained by the turbulence of individual celestial bodies, thereby providing all creatures with a stable and comfortable living space for peaceful existence.
All sentient beings across the Great Cosmos Galaxy are capable of possessing mutually protective energy bodies, and
It possesses a restorative function, and this kind of energy—the restorative functional body—is difficult for everyone to comprehend. It originates from the operation of the Great Dao, generating a restorative function for all living beings and the planet itself, as well as for all that exists in "high mountains and low places."
Only with a stable planet can there be a comfortable living space.
The limitations perceived by humanity are merely a matter of existing on high mountains or in low places. In truth, it is not only this; on the contrary, for all living beings and all things, whether animate or inanimate, that exist within the celestial bodies, there is a ceaseless motion. Why then does such behavior occur?
Thus it is formed that there exists an unceasing dynamism towards all inhabitable and uninhabitable environments, for the various celestial bodies also persist in a state of "rotating illusory motion." It is merely that this "rotating illusory motion" remains imperceptible to all living beings and myriad spirits dwelling within it.
This kind of illusory motion is a rotational force, which gives rise to a buoyant force. It creates an ever-continuous power that exists within all living spaces of all sentient beings, transforming into both a mutual act of repair and a destructive energy. This is especially true for celestial bodies with "photosynthesis."
For celestial bodies capable of photosynthesis, two or more composite entities emerge, pulling against varying forces. This accelerates the myriad living beings within in the ceaseless transformations of metabolism. Such conditions of cause and effect give rise to the functions of "light union and shadow union," which in turn become a flourishing radiance that illuminates all.
The planet is stable, allowing sentient beings to dwell upon it.
This difference can be observed through the lens of "dark synthesis": how does it manifest? This dark synthesis results solely in the accumulation of shadowy substances, without the mutual exchange and transformation between two or more elements. It is merely the unilateral reproduction of cells, whereas such unicellular reproduction is scarcely possible in any form of photosynthesis.
Thus, all living beings in the universe are formed from a single type of cell. This formation can be described as the existence of a gaseous energy. To put it in human terms, "air" is formed in this way—it is an energy entity of the "Great Dao" that permeates and sustains all realms of existence across different celestial bodies.
It can be understood that the energetic gases present in individual cells are precisely what can evolve into more advanced technological civilizations. This factor not only makes the planet more suitable for life but also, compared to planets relying on photosynthesis, provides immense power to repair the planet's inherent flaws. Consequently, all living beings within it can thrive in harmony.
Why does a single cell possess such energy? It is essential to understand that the reproduction of a single cell is precisely a "purifying and cleansing" energy body. This purifying energy body is also the foundation of "dark and obscure substances." If other energy bodies are introduced, it will give rise to the formation of destructive forces.
A comfortable space can transform to accommodate different beings.
Therefore, the destructive force on individual cells will be significantly reduced in energy, and it also purifies all repair functions. This type of yin-harmonizing planetary body serves as a mutual internal force for all living beings, providing greater purification effects. It also transforms this "lack of motive force or counteractive force" to facilitate repair.
Why do these existing energy bodies form restorative entities of different species, and alter the genes of many different species? It is because there are substantial energy bodies that perform repairs and facilitate transformative growth. How, then, can such functional bodies be fully realized? Consider further: what lies concealed within all the "dark and obscure substances"?
It is precisely because each time and space is identical, yet endowed with different functions, that when sentient beings enter different planetary bodies, they are said to possess a purifying function. Under such circumstances, the evolution of more advanced civilizations does not occur. What is the reason for this?
It is essential to first possess greater energy to gather together, which will then form various species of beings and simultaneously establish the foundation for future evolution. The material formed by such causal conditions is not merely about having advanced energy bodies alone, because the energy bodies accumulated by different celestial bodies will inherently carry different forces.
The Fundamental Functions of Inhabiting the Planet of Anshi by All Spirits
For the more advanced energies that give rise to higher species, compared to the energy entities of lower-level planets, the resulting species will differ. Because different energy entities exist, there will be different forms of myriad living beings. This situation serves a stabilizing function for the planets.
All arise only when the conditions of time and space are fully met, leading to mutual fulfillment. Thus, it becomes possible to understand the correct application of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—each with its distinct qualities. By adding metal to metal, metal to wood, metal to fire, metal to water, or metal to earth, different transformations occur, all of which are evolutions arising from the varying interactions of the five elements.
This represents a vastly different kind of energy entity, which gives rise to all living beings in the universe, distinct from the physical forms of human beings and other sentient creatures. Therefore, in the rotation of the Great Dao, there exists a specific orbit that generates diverse forms of life, encompassing not only the largest species but also those as minute as bacteria and other microscopic organisms.
Different energies arise to distinguish all living beings, and mutual karma exists among them. Thus, the diverse energetic forms of all living beings are shaped as sentient beings enter different planetary bodies. This also means that all inherent qualities originate from a synthesis of different regions, creating points of connection with other forms of life.
Different elements of the Five Phases correspond to beings of distinct energies.
All these are directed at the celestial bodies themselves, and all formations are precisely as such. It is due to the distinct comfort levels of different planets that there emerge various combinations of the Five Elements: Metal-Metal, Metal-Wood, Metal-Fire, Metal-Water, and Metal-Earth. These combinations give rise to different energy bodies, which further differentiate into: Wood-Wood, Wood-Fire, Wood-Water, Wood-Earth, and Wood-Metal.
And also in: Water-Water, Water-Wood, Water-Fire, Water-Earth, Water-Metal; Fire-Fire, Fire-Earth, Fire-Metal, Fire-Wood, Fire-Water; further supplemented by Earth-Earth, Earth-Metal, Earth-Wood, Earth-Water, and Earth-Fire—the various distinct energies of the Five Elements. The introduction of too many different energy entities, due to varying causal natures, gives rise to the emergence of different species.
This fundamental function yields varying restorative and aggregative effects on the energies produced across different regions. In the absence of photosynthesis, there is no destructive force; with photosynthesis, destructive force arises. This gives rise to two distinct polarized types of beings, and on the planet Diming, such mutual opposition emerges.
All things dwell in a state of serene comfort.
For various celestial bodies, there are distinct habitable environments suitable for life. This does not differentiate whether life originates from single-cell reproduction or from dual-cell or multi-cell reproduction. The distinction lies solely in two forces: "photosynthesis" and "yin synthesis." These two forces also exhibit significant differences in their restorative functions.
Because the reproduction of unicellular, bicellular, and multicellular organisms distinguishes different sentient beings, it is essential to understand in detail how cellular reproduction functions. There are significant differences in this process, but it must always involve a stabilizing mechanism to prevent the intrusion of other varying dynamic energies.
The differentiation and future propagation of diverse evolutions give rise to myriad living beings across various celestial bodies. Whether these beings can attain advanced knowledge, civilization, and technological fulfillment must be understood through the study of "ancient astronomy" progressing into "ancient technology," for only then can it benefit humanity and all sentient beings.
Each cell's proliferation is shaped,  
Every planet by its own essence made.
A single cell can differentiate,  
Multiple bodies can transform resources.
High technology of planetary civilization is closely related to all celestial bodies.
The creation of diverse transformations,  
All kinds of energies can bestow.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement! Regarding the evolution of ancient astronomical technology, it is further enhanced by different energies and qualities. Only through the evolutionary interplay of all energies
The advancement of technological civilization, this rather advanced form of technological progress, has already been imparted into the sacred texts of the "Great Dao Xingtan," offering everyone diverse perspectives and concepts.

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Divine Farmer Emperor, the Master of All Herbs, has descended to compose the seventh installment of the Great Dao Apricot Altum. This work analyzes the principles of providing a comfortable and stable living environment for all beings, offering diverse perspectives on the growth and evolution of technological civilization.
In the past, what humanity understood about the reproduction of single-celled organisms, as well as the reproductive variations of dual-celled and multi-celled organisms, offers us a novel space for thought. This provides a more advanced conceptual framework than that of contemporary scientists, allowing us to accumulate growth for ourselves. Truly, one can benefit from the insights gained in return.

Chapter Eight: Ancient Technology and the Evolution of Civilization
The Evolution of Ancient Scientific Civilization
When sentient beings enter the human world, they inevitably activate the necessity of gathering past karma. This can be observed in the way that an exceptionally advanced civilization, rooted in ancient scientific knowledge, is implanted into the present human world from past cosmic cycles. Thus, all technological civilizations are formed to benefit humanity.
It is essential to elevate through the genuine application of civilization and technology in order to fulfill the purpose of human evolution. This forms a foundation for all civilizations of the first and second cosmic cycles, rooted in the evolution of ancient astronomy and the growth of ancient technological studies. Such conditions serve as both an elevation for humanity and a manifestation of civilization.
It is also a benefit derived from creation, a causal substance that has persisted from the first and second cosmic cycles to the present third cosmic cycle. In the evolution of contemporary civilization, it is difficult to surpass the technological growth of the previous two cycles, as it is aligned with the entirety of the cosmic galaxies. Different galaxies are created accordingly, each infused with distinct causal energy entities.
This will lead to the understanding that the evolution of different technological civilizations stems from their distinct connotations.
In essence, the creation of different technological civilizations enhances evolution. It also allows us to understand that technological civilization is a necessity upon which humanity relies. Moreover, it is precisely because of technological civilization that many evolutionary effects can be achieved.
The Evolution of Civilization in Ancient Science and Technology
From the perspective of the planet Diming where humans reside: it has evolved across different times and spaces, benefiting from technological civilization. This has formed various minor epochs within different cosmic cycles. The technological civilizations created under these conditions have allowed all life on Diming to evolve through distinct periods, ultimately benefiting all inhabitants within this space.
This kind of situation means that a single fluctuation of "seas turning into mulberry fields" would obliterate the previous technological civilization. It is precisely due to such fluctuations that each prior technological civilization sinks back into the depths of the ocean. With every transformation, there inevitably arises an opportunity to start anew.
This variation across different times and spaces possesses a rather brutal destructive power, causing the previous civilization to be suppressed once again. Created through the cycles of different temporal eras and regenerated from all varying genes, the new creations based on the original genetic foundations are difficult to compare with the technological evolution of the previous civilization.
If there were an unchanging evolution, it would not be the present state of affairs. Conversely, if we consider a celestial body composed of "dark and obscure matter," although it undergoes changes, it does not experience the same magnitude of transformation as a celestial body with "photosynthesis." In fact, all celestial bodies can be categorized into two types: those with photosynthesis and those with yin-convergence.
The Evolution and Creation of Ancient Civilization and Technology
Furthermore, the technological civilization of such "dark fusion" planetary bodies far surpasses that of "photosynthetic" planetary bodies, leading to more advanced enhancements in the evolution of civilizations within that star system. This condition also represents a significant evolutionary advancement for ancient technological sciences, thereby creating a more comfortable and stable existence for all human beings.
In observing the transformations generated by different celestial bodies, civilizations with relatively advanced technology have emerged. The convergence of the five elements created across various planets gives rise to diverse species. Moreover, as human civilization evolves, the accumulated wisdom from these different species fosters growth and adaptation among all life forms.
The energy generated by various celestial bodies varies greatly, which is precisely why they evolve into different energetic entities. This can also be observed in the case of the planet Diming. Moreover, it is due to the photosynthetic processes of Diming's light that advancements in all technological fields are made possible, representing a visible manifestation of significant civilizational creation.
In the course of human existence, individuals inevitably interact with one another. Each matter is approached from different perspectives, and this diversity of viewpoints contributes to the mutual evolution of civilization. It is through such varied understandings that progress is fostered. How, then, can we achieve greater advancement? It is essential to genuinely treat the evolution of civilization as a process of growth, thereby enhancing the well-being of humanity.
Civilization, technology, and compassion create all things.
In this context, arising from the mutual limitations of "dualistic opposition," such opposition inevitably gives rise to numerous constraints: sun and moon, yin and yang, right and wrong, correct and incorrect, good and evil, Buddha and demon, gods and spirits—too many limitations indeed. This represents both an obstacle of mutual opposition and a catalyst for growth and elevation, yet it also embodies a contradiction.
Human beings are unable to dissolve the limitations and obstacles in life, which leads to the worldly condition: "Though life falls short of a hundred years, one often harbors worries of a thousand." And in this world, who can truly understand how to dissolve these limitations? It is exceedingly difficult! This is because upon entering this world, humans become overwhelmed and confused, with very few ever contemplating this matter.
Therefore, human beings are also unable to clearly understand why entering the planet of Di Ming would create such obstacles. This is a result of past karmic causes and effects, which then hinder every being’s aspiration to elevate and transcend. Ordinary human beings often desire to cultivate a mindset of improvement, yet find it difficult to sustain such intentions over the long term.
If one can achieve a state of utmost tranquility, a clear mind may emerge, yet it is only a fleeting sensation. It is fundamentally impossible to attain sustained, elevated contemplation. This limitation arises from the constraints of karmic retribution accumulated over countless lifetimes, which gives rise to the distinctions between "retribution and recompense." Such is the inevitable obstacle faced by sentient beings.
The advancement brought by ancient scientific evolution
Technological civilizations from different cosmic eras, along with the human and species races produced in each space-time, largely share identical cytokines, also created by these diverse technological civilizations. This evolution spanning millions of years, coupled with genetic modifications across hundreds of millions of years of space-time, means that the present civilization is merely at its inception.
Whenever a genetic creation seeks to surpass previous eras, it must undergo a prolonged period of growth, enriched by diverse conditions. Such development can only unfold when the necessary causes and conditions converge. It is precisely through this convergence that distinct epochs give rise to technological civilizations, all for the benefit of sentient beings within their respective times and spaces.
It is essential to grow within each era and advance through different technological civilizations, which precisely demonstrates the evolutionary role of every epoch. Therefore, in the evolution of Earth, there will be distinct technological civilizations across various minor cosmic cycles. Currently, we have entered the final phase of the third cosmic cycle, and the calamities faced by humanity have also increased significantly.
Civilization alone can create benefits for all beings.
Furthermore, the actions of different groups of humanity generate substantial adverse cyclones that envelop the entire space of Dimingxing (Earth). This situation poses a significant lethal threat to human beings. Therefore, observing these harmful cyclones, the Heavenly Realm has bestowed advanced technological transformations, utilizing scientific and technological civilization to elevate and alter all calamities and disasters.
It is precisely because of the compassionate grace of Heaven that the descent of high-tech civilization has been borrowed to resolve the continuation of human suffering—a creation of civilizational evolution. Yet, it has not targeted the elevation of humanity's "body, mind, and spirit." Therefore, those with higher awareness can perceive the dissolution of such limitations.
How can we enhance the "body, mind, and spirit" evolution of every sentient being, so that they may ascend in their own growth and avoid being trapped in the repeated cycles of reincarnation on Earth? This is indeed a sorrowful state. By fostering the compassionate teachings of Heaven for those with heightened awareness, we can reduce the limitations of repeatedly cycling through the human realm.
Technological civilization drives evolution, elevating all that was ancient to new heights.
Transformed into a different cosmic cycle,  
Thus hangs the ancient science of technology.
Human existence must be elevated—  
One must not strive only for oneself.
Sentient beings can be guided to enlightenment,  
By perfecting oneself, one leads all beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement, addressing all advancements in ancient technology.
As mentioned in the first citation, the subsequent content will continue from here, offering everyone greater acquisition of knowledge and the growth of wisdom. It is precisely because one possesses the rare and superior conditions and opportunities that such authenticity is realized.
The Imperial Lord of the City God of Wuji
The Sovereign Emperor of the Wuji City God ascends,  
Gathering together all wise beings of feeling.
May all be auspicious and well,  
May the Great Way spread its truth across the four seas.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Yellow Emperor, the sacred ancestor of China, has personally descended to compose this work. In the eighth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, we analyze the evolution of an ancient scientific and technological civilization, offering greater clarity to all humanity across different times and spaces, and fostering growth in future technological inventions.
Providing everyone with the accumulation of knowledge is precisely to achieve greater benefits that transcend the ordinary. Can we plan and perfect the system of our sect's lineage to facilitate the complete realization of all future guidance? This is essential for the growth of the Chongxin system; otherwise, how will we retain talent when new members return in the future? Everyone must strive together—can you understand this?

Chapter Nine: Technological Civilization, Benefiting All Beings
Technological civilization benefits all living beings.
The evolution of human civilization occurs within this world, driven by the necessity of survival orientation. How, then, can we understand the nature of human life? Such conditions form an evolutionary force for sentient beings in their daily existence, enabling greater advancement. It is also essential to comprehend what life was like in ancient times, throughout the previous cosmic cycle.
Due to the evolution of ancient technological civilizations, each stage has seen the integration of different technological advancements into the temporal and causal conditions of its era. This has given rise to a multitude of technological civilizations, further promoting the comfort and stability of human life. With each evolution, there must be an enhancement in the purification of the "body, mind, and spirit."
Promoting a stable life for sentient beings to elevate the transcendence of "body, mind, and spirit" — can such actions yield favorable outcomes? Not necessarily! Indeed, it is exceedingly difficult! Often, because human beings lead lives of excessive comfort, they fail to remain vigilant. How, then, can they perceive the limitations and inadequacies of the human world?
It is essential to understand that all human beings possess a certain kind of "inertia," and this "inertia"
That is, it is an inherent quality that is difficult to eliminate. Moreover, this innate "inertia" often goes entirely unnoticed in times of excessive comfort and peace, leaving one unprepared for the onset of disaster. This is precisely what humanity should take as a warning.
Conditions for the Growth of Beings in a Technological Civilization
After a period of comfort, humanity tends to let the memory of past disasters—once seared into the heart—fade away without a trace. The vividness of recollection is lost entirely, leaving only the notion that such painful experiences were once endured in the course of life.
This kind of issue, though etched in the memory of sentient beings with a clarity that feels almost tangible, is often forgotten by most people amidst lives of excessive comfort. How, then, can they recall the pain and tension of the past? For such individuals, any hope of self-improvement remains nothing more than an empty wish.
To truly comprehend the suffering of past lives is to gain a significant warning for all sentient beings. This understanding must be firmly imprinted in the eighth consciousness of humanity, so that when causes and conditions converge again in the future, the memory of previous suffering may be recalled and distinguished. It is precisely through the accumulation of such profoundly painful experiences that this awareness arises.
It is precisely because humans, in their daily lives, become too comfortable that a "mentality of slackness" inevitably forms. This is the very foundation of human "inertia," and it is extremely difficult to eliminate one's own problematic tendencies. As long as there is a somewhat more vigilant approach, the human world ceases to be a space for long-term, peaceful dwelling.
Only through technological civilization can all beings benefit.
This situation is exceedingly difficult for ordinary people to comprehend and understand. What, then, is the issue within human society? It is precisely because a life of ease and comfort inherently contains a kind of obstacle that hinders the growth and transcendence of sentient beings. This, too, is hard to grasp, for within comfortable and leisurely living, significant problems are bound to arise.
This was the case with the study of ancient technologies in the past, and it is even more so with humanity today. It is difficult to achieve growth and transcendence in the realms of "body, mind, and spirit." At such times, it is essential to understand that the achievements of technological civilization are the result of successive periods of time and conditions, which together create a comfortable space for survival.
It will also form obstacles to survival in the human world, which must be eliminated. However, "inertia" is thereby added, and human beings have long been unable to develop a greater sense of vigilance and remembrance. They are all eroded by lives that are too comfortable, losing the alertness to learn from lessons, and failing to recognize that present blessings may revert to past sufferings.
In ancient times, the conditions for the growth of civilization were rarely produced on a large scale. Generally, only the relatively capable, such as nobles, kings, and high-ranking officials, could enjoy such a comfortable life. This ease was accessible only to a few, making it far from a convenience that could be widely popularized.
The Civilization of Ancient Yuanhui Science
It is essential to understand that, regarding these ancient technologies, the first and second levels would be millions of times more advanced than current technology. Moreover, it can be said that such technologies are precisely what the present era will gradually realize in the human world, evolving to transfer the ancient technological civilization into the current generation for the purpose of transforming: human genes.
Just as modern life enjoys widespread comfort and convenience, all technological advancements rely on the supply of electricity. This situation: if applied to ancient times, it would likely be difficult to achieve the current level of technological civilization. When comparing this to the first and second epochs, the difference is immense.
It is impossible to apply mutual comparisons within technological civilization, as it is precisely through technological civilization that a life orientation beneficial to all beings emerges. In the widespread pursuit of comfort and convenience in life, this reflects the universality of divine virtue and grace. Such achievements stem from the ancient science of technology, where "borrowing talent" has given rise to numerous inventions and innovations.
The formation of a world for all human beings relies solely on the supply of electricity. In the present era, there are numerous methods to generate various forms of electricity, each endowed with distinct characteristics. It is essential to understand that the human world exists within a framework of mutual relativity in time and space. How, then, should we comprehend the necessity of understanding this issue?
All beings must elevate and transcend to truly benefit.
It is absolutely not just a one-sided enhancement. Moreover, if scientists view such a limited approach without understanding the mutual interactions of the "Five Elements" in Chinese tradition, it will be difficult to achieve greater benefits. This often leads to the technological products they invent and create, after a period of time, giving rise to many adverse consequences.
It also implies that gain and loss are intertwined; what appears as a negative impact can become a calamity. Such technological products can be destructive to all civilizations, fostering a reciprocal dynamic where excess and deficiency both deviate from the Middle Way. After any invention emerges in the human world, it inevitably requires refinement and improvement.
There will inevitably be significant negative consequences over a certain period of time. One must understand that "excess and deficiency both deviate from the Middle Way"—this is an obstacle in the human world. Only then can we determine whether the items created by technological civilization are suitable in terms of refinement for daily life? This is precisely a perspective that can be sustained over the long term.
Otherwise, after a period of time, all negative consequences will continuously emerge, much like the "black resources" of the present day. Several decades ago, no one sensed that any harm would arise, but only after several decades have passed do all the problems gradually surface, making people realize the severity of the issues.
The evolution of civilization serves to alleviate the suffering of all living beings.
When humanity remains unaware and fails to awaken to vigilance, the price to be paid in the future will be immense. Moreover, while these conglomerates monopolize profits, it is all living beings who must bear the burden of their interests. In truth, these conglomerates should learn to draw from the world and contribute to its welfare for the benefit of all.
The formation of this situation poses a nearly irreparable breach for all future generations of humanity. It has allowed all human beings to enjoy only a brief moment of widespread comfort and convenience, yet at the cost of being plagued by numerous disasters. It is time to put a stop to this kind of black resource—gasoline and pesticides.
Rather than continuing to use them indefinitely and applying them for decades to come, the resulting calamities for all humanity would be irreparable. These constitute the negative disasters of what are known as "black resources." Would anyone desire such an outcome? It is far too difficult! In today's era of technological and scientific civilization, there should be a kind of resource that benefits the evolution of humanity.
The Evolution of Ancient Scientific Knowledge
It is not merely about benefiting a few conglomerates with the resources they already possess; such an approach would leave calamities for future generations thousands of years later and give rise to numerous adverse consequences. It is essential to strengthen the development of high-tech, low-pollution "high-quality energy sources." As of now, there are already many viable options available.
Therefore, these resources will inevitably emerge one by one in human life in the future, bringing even greater benefits. They will not resemble the obstacles of the present world, for it is likely that all calamities have only just begun. In the future, everyone will witness this situation: more and more unavoidable disasters will follow in succession.
Whether it is the fate of "inescapable doom" or the legacy left by the "selected technological" talents, different destinies are forged, and there are blessings to be reaped in the future. This is the reality of the present era.
Reflecting on the technological civilizations of the first and second cosmic cycles, it becomes clear that only by accelerating technological evolution can we successfully navigate the present calamities. This is indeed a necessity.
Alas, the resources of the human world have been difficult to discern clearly since ancient times.
Black resources are fundamentally erroneous,  
Calamities persist and sins are hard to absolve.
Yet humanity suffers greatly, with memories still fresh and roots withered at the core.
At times, heartache and helplessness arise,  
Yet technology fosters blessings and aid.
This verse serves as a mutual encouragement for all sentient beings. Given the vast gap between ancient scientific knowledge and the present era, such actions are essential for evolution.
It is precisely by securing each step before taking the next that humanity advances—a principle embedded in the survival laws of our world.
For everyone to contemplate and reference, there will be significant progress.
Wuji Wenchang Dijun
The Limitless decrees the establishment of Chongxin,  
As the Emperor of Culture ascends the platform to descend.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Together composing the celestial book with virtuous deeds.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the teachings are personally delivered by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, in the ninth session of the Great Dao Apricot Altar, analyzing how sentient beings benefit from technological civilization. Compared to the evolution of the first and second kalpas, the present era is merely a transitional period.
It is essential to accelerate these scientific advancements to benefit human welfare; otherwise, what can be done when calamities arrive? Consider that while everyone here has the affinity to join the Chongxin Sect, it is not guaranteed that each person is a "selected talent" in science and technology. And when faced with the "inescapable fate" of these issues, what then can be done?
However, the immortal and buddha teachers will never be sparing in their protection of those they can safeguard. Therefore, if in the future there are such unavoidable tribulations that arise from good karma, do not blame the immortal and buddha teachers for failing to protect you. Can you understand this? Our lineage will soon expand and propagate outward, and it is hoped that everyone will join together in this grand endeavor, for this is the true path.

大道杏壇第十回　   　文明科技變化期
Chapter Ten: Technological Civilization, Ever-Changing
Technological civilization is ever-changing.
Sentient beings in the human world now enjoy a relatively comfortable living environment, thanks to the evolution of modern technological civilization. This progress stems from the enhancement and creation of all civilizations, which in turn arises from the collective efforts of "borrowing talents" to disseminate advancements. For the current generation, such conditions mark the beginning of the era of technological civilization, and we must observe its future impact.
All technological transformations are beyond comparison with those of the past. This constant renewal brings about changes and fosters numerous evolutionary advancements. Through the innovations of civilization and technology, humanity is able to create a comfortable life and secure a stable and pleasant living environment. How, then, do such conditions affect sentient beings?
It is essential to genuinely elevate sentient beings in the aspects of "body, mind, and spirit" to follow the true path. One must also understand that integrating "ancient scientific knowledge" into contemporary civilization can be said to have enabled humanity, within the last century, to achieve a far greater evolution in civilization than in the past several millennia.
This affinity arises from the entry of human beings into this time and space.
It is only made possible by the compassionate grace of the heavens, and is further created through the "borrowed civilization." If one fails to understand why, within a mere century, all technological evolution has led to such a remarkably significant growth of civilization.
Consortiums can alter the world's calamities.
In the evolution of humanity, the advancement of technology has yielded significant achievements, establishing a relatively stable foundation for a comfortable life in the human world. This progress among human beings is attributed to the power of "electricity," which originates from the extraction of black resources and is applied to support the civilization on which humanity depends.
This situation can be described as "quenching thirst with poison." It is not a beneficial approach for humanity, and as all the issues emerge one by one, they have led to the evolutionary growth of the Earthly Obscure Star over tens of thousands of years being completely negated by the humanity of the present era.
It is essential to understand that humanity's "drinking poison to quench thirst" has led to the perpetuation of all human calamities. Moreover, today's "financial conglomerates" monopolize all benefits, making it even more difficult to resolve the Earth's disasters. In truth, if these conglomerates would simply shift their direction and apply their resources differently, they could transform and alleviate all the existential crises plaguing humankind.
It is precisely because of the monopolization by financial conglomerates that many uncontrollable calamities continue to emerge one after another. Therefore, if humanity and all living beings cannot, at this very moment, put an end to the reuse of these black resources, it is feared that within the next decade or two, great disasters will arise, which will also affect the comfort and security of all human existence.
The relentless evolution of scientific and technological civilization continues to exert its influence.
Furthermore, the utilization of humanity's dark resources, including "oil and pesticides," gives rise to continuous calamities. Yet, given that modern medical science has not yet evolved to meet such conditions, there is little that can be done. The rapid growth and expansion of the current population is undoubtedly not a positive phenomenon.
Therefore, after future calamities emerge, these will manifest as rather "cataclysmic disasters of the great era." Many may not understand where the root of such issues lies. Precisely because the celestial deities and Buddhas are deeply concerned, they have facilitated the descent of "borrowed generals." The more advanced civilization's technology becomes, the more human calamities will increase.
This is precisely the case with the planet Mingxing on which we live, and the situation is the same as it was in the second kalpa of the past. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to find greater opportunities, and it is necessary to change the disasters brought about by human technological civilization. One must understand that current technology is borrowed, transplanted into the present era from the first and second kalpas.
Contemporary human beings may believe that current technology has already advanced significantly, yet there remains a considerable distance from the true merits of technological civilization. Under such circumstances, how can each sentient being comprehend the grace bestowed by Heaven? In the evolution of humanity, there lies precisely the potential for upward transcendence and elevation.
Technological civilization brings incessant changes and disasters to humanity.
To transcend and elevate the "body, mind, and spirit," one must awaken in the present moment and rely on the evolution of civilization and technology. This is the true path toward one’s upward growth. Every sentient being has the opportunity to ascend, yet it also depends on each human being’s choice: whether to embrace it or not.
It is precisely because the heavens bestow upon all human beings causes, conditions, and opportunities, and also subtly guide them to grow and ascend. However, they are unable to assist those humans with stronger "inertia" or those deeply entrenched in "stubborn fixation" to grow and elevate, all due to the difficulty of altering their inherent dispositions.
It all depends on one's own values and intellectual growth to distinguish. Every sentient being has the opportunity, but there is no guarantee that each will genuinely progress upward. This, in turn, is the impartial and equal opportunity bestowed upon the human world by Heaven, observing whether human beings themselves choose to accept or reject it.
If one chooses to refuse, then when the time comes, there will be nothing to be done. Everyone else will have ascended and grown, leaving only oneself trapped in the endless cycles of mortal existence, or perhaps sinking into the species of other realms. This, too, becomes a rather helpless karmic circumstance. Thus, the concerns of Heaven are precisely this, and the worries of the immortals and Buddhas are the same.
The ever-changing nature of technological civilization is rooted in the interplay of causes and conditions.
When humanity exists within such a spacetime, there is a considerable opportunity for growth and elevation. As this technological civilization evolves, it becomes an advanced civilization in its own right, shaping the causes and conditions across all spacetimes. This transformation brings about different causes, conditions, and opportunities, fostering a more comfortable and expansive path for human evolution.
If we consider past circumstances: one had to go to the workplace to work, and there would be hard-earned rewards. However, looking at the present era: there is no longer a need for such extensive efforts; one can connect to everything in the workplace from home. This is a remarkably rapid advancement in technological civilization, and in the future, humanity will universally follow this path.
The toil and effort of all human beings will no longer yield only meager rewards. It is not merely that labor can be exchanged for monetary compensation; one must understand: How much energy do I possess? How much capability do I have? How much effort have I exerted? The returns one receives will correspond precisely to these measures.
This kind of spatiotemporal cause and condition is not merely an opportunity to exchange labor for currency. It is essential to understand the causes, conditions, and opportunities that arise in various different times and spaces. One must apply wisdom to more effortlessly attain monetary rewards. Yet, it is also because of genuine effort that there is a greater chance to fully obtain such rewards—though this is not always guaranteed!
Using wisdom to transform the perception of material abundance
How must one honestly assess one's own abilities and energy? In ancient times, the concept of "starting from scratch" was widely applicable and could be rewarded with what served as a common currency. However, the circumstances of time and space have changed from the past, and the present era is just as it is now. After another period of time, it will no longer be the same.
Therefore, the evolution of technological civilization will continue ceaselessly. In this current era, technological civilization is aimed at enabling humanity to elevate and transcend the three aspects of "body, mind, and spirit." If one fails to achieve greater progress within this time and space, it will merely amount to a brief passage through the human world, with little significance for oneself.
If this can be said: it is precisely "entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed." One must understand that opportunities in the human world are growing increasingly scarce, and all matters concerning the return of "borrowed generals" are to be fully handled by the "Chongxin Lineage." It is essential to ensure that the civilizations of all "borrowed generals" are gathered and elevated through evolution.
How to Transform and Elevate Oneself Upon Entering the Human World
It is essential to possess a considerable level of excellent and high-profile capability and energy to gather everyone together. To carry out the sacred mission of returning to the Great Dao in the future, the Chongxin lineage must therefore achieve a strong and distinguished reputation. Only then can many high-tech talents be drawn back and assembled. This is an imperative and grand sacred mission.
However, it has been delayed until now, and following the fifteenth anniversary celebration of Chongxin Hall, the widespread media coverage is bound to mobilize the gathering of over two million high-tech talents, as well as the return of four hundred million Buddhist disciples to jointly promote the great path of propagation. This will achieve the creation of human welfare.
Therefore, everyone will have their share of diligent effort to contribute and will also have their share of achievements to attain. Such causes and conditions are precisely the compassionate opportunities bestowed by the heavenly deities and Buddhas. This extraordinary blessing is a rare encounter that one might struggle to find even across countless lifetimes. It is essential to prepare everything in the present moment, ensuring that one is fully equipped with genuine and substantial qualities—only then can it be considered the true path!
Heaven and Earth have compassion for all living beings,  
In this era of transformation for technology and civilization.
All living beings come to take refuge,  
Hearts in the True Buddha School unite in harmony.
Media dissemination enhances reputation,  
Excellently embodying the aid of the Great Dao.
Achieving the return of scientific and technical personnel brings back extraordinary and great blessings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. Moreover, the evolution of all civilizations is an ongoing process, enabling the lineage of the Chongxin Sect to achieve greater growth in the present moment. This is precisely aligned with the path of
The sacred mission of the Heavenly Realm descends to gather and transform humanity on a grand scale, for only Chongxin possesses such qualifications. This is the compassionate virtue and grace of the Heavenly Realm, bestowed upon the mortal world.
The Great and Venerable King of Boundless Grace
The Wuji bestows the establishment of fruits and positions,  
The Vast Grace Noble King ascends the platform.
The Great Dao Academy reverently presents its works; the Heavenly Master of Tongtian spreads the virtue and grace.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and cultivating scholars, good evening. Today, the Venerable of our lineage, the Dean of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure, also known as the Tongtian Cultivator, has descended to compose the tenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. This chapter conveys into the Celestial Book the primary causes of all goodness amidst the ever-changing tides of technological civilization.
For all human beings, can one understand where the root of the problem lies? Otherwise, when calamity arrives, it will be inescapable, and one may blame the immortals, Buddhas, and teachers for lacking compassion. Therefore, it is necessary to truthfully inform all students and disciples that such thoughts must not be held, lest they cause one to regress and hinder genuine elevation. Can this be understood?
This concept, first revealed and admonished to all students and disciples, enables one to truly understand how to prevent the pitfalls in the Apricot Altar composed by the Venerable of the Academy today, and thus follow the correct path.
Tomorrow, we will hold a birthday celebration and offer praises to the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Heavenly Lord and Exalted God of Mysterious Numen. Let us all come together to extend our congratulations! We also express gratitude for the Jade Emperor's boundless care and blessings upon Chongxin.
In the coming days, we will hold the repentance ceremony for this month. It is essential to devote our hearts to fulfilling and returning with good affinities. Starting from the second half of this year, our lineage will undergo significant transformations. We also hope that everyone will join together in cooperating with the promotion of the sacred mission, thereby truly guiding 400 million Buddhist disciples, 920 million primordial spirits, and 2 million high-tech talents to return and gather, in order to fulfill the duty of the sacred mission.

The Virtuous Radiance of the Celestial Pivot Nurtures All,  
As the Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity Descends to Manifest.
The Eleventh Gathering at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao:  
The Truth of Cells Transformed by Technology.
Chapter 11: Technological Transformations and Cellular Composition
Technological changes alter cellular composition.
Ancient scientific studies on the evolution of humanity and all living beings take the cell as the fundamental unit of reproduction, which permeates all matter, thereby enabling the creation of future species. The combination of such cells adds essential causal qualities to humanity and all living things, merging with the five elements to form the future physical manifestations of all species.
It is essential to have different combinations of cells, integrated into the distinct Five Elements, in order to form a physical body. Therefore, both human beings and all living things in the world are composed of cellular structures. By incorporating different inherent qualities, the creation of all things and the formation of human and living beings' bodies are made possible, thereby enabling their behaviors and actions.
Observing from the perspective of the five elements, human beings are formed through the combination of "white metal and earth element" to constitute the skeletal structure, thereby possessing the energy of white metal and earth. Once the skeletal framework is established in human beings, it is enveloped by the circulation of blood. Then, the blowing of wind is required to endow the bodily form with vitality.
This has been the way of humanity for tens of thousands of years, particularly in the study of ancient technology.
As evolution progresses, it will embed itself within other material entities among the five elements, serving as support and integration. In the future, humanity will undergo an evolution into a form of platinum, merging into a more solid and substantial existence. This will be the race of the future.
Ancient Technology Enters the Human World
The physical form of sentient beings is composed of platinum combined with earth elements. If it consists solely of platinum without the inclusion of earth, such a form would be that of a "semi-bionic or fully bionic human," and would not manifest as the present form of sentient beings. Furthermore, how would the current human composition, shaped by "platinum combined with earth," be affected?
This condition refers to the physical bodies of human beings. Even after bathing, a layer of white powder remains, indicating that a greater level of purity is difficult to achieve. This is because the body is formed through the combination of the Five Elements, specifically "white metal and earth." Thus, it can be said that human beings are shaped from earth, with the addition of bones—"white metal"—to complete their form.
At present, human beings, having long inhabited this form of body, have given rise to the technological civilization of the current era, which pollutes the purity of the entire Earth Star. Moreover, with the expansion of industrial pollution sources, the whole Earth Star has been covered by a thick layer of filth—a condition that remains entirely imperceptible to human beings at their core.
This situation poses a significant threat to the living space of humanity. If the wind cannot carry the ocean currents to purify the entire planet, it is feared that great calamities will befall all living beings. This is yet another inevitable consequence of industrial evolution, which has polluted the entire Earth, creating a space that is exceedingly difficult to cleanse.
All living beings in the world are composed of cells.
However, there is also a lack of clean air for purification. This is the harm inflicted upon the earth by all sources of pollution in the human world, which in turn indirectly endangers human survival. Many may assume this poses no significant issue, but in reality, industrial pollution simultaneously subjects all human beings to severe physical harm.
Observing the evolution of humanity today, the reliance on black resources has inflicted considerable harm. Regardless of its impact on physical health, it poses a significant destructive force and has become an obstacle to the advancement of modern technological civilization. If this limitation remains unaddressed, greater disasters will inevitably follow.
In the present era, following the continuous emergence of various lifestyle-related diseases, many previously unseen conditions such as chronic illnesses, cancers, and tumors have also persistently arisen. When humanity is unable to purify the toxins within the body, there arises a significant likelihood that the lifespan of human beings will be prematurely shortened.
When humanity finds itself in such an inescapable space and time, precious lives are lost, and there is no opportunity for greater elevation of the human condition. Often, people turn to religious practice in an attempt to change their own inadequacies and deficiencies. This situation has long formed a considerable destructive force upon oneself—what, then, are the causes behind it?
The Necessity of Technological Change in Cellular Composition
In response to the chronic illnesses and cancerous tumors prevalent among humanity today, which have evolved into a global affliction of modern civilization, if the underlying issues cannot be resolved, their destructive impact on the human body will persist. Therefore, it is essential to integrate the ancient pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine with the advanced practices of Western medicine, applying both in a complementary manner.
Through the integration of the five-thousand-year tradition of "Han medicine" from the Central Plains with Western medical technology, "Traditional Chinese Medicine" can evolve in authenticity, while "Western Medicine" advances in its own evolutionary path. The combination of these two can give rise to superior solid or liquid pharmaceuticals capable of "cellular regeneration."
This type of "cellular medicine" is designed to eliminate the "chronic diseases and cancerous tumors" afflicting humanity. By integrating both Chinese and Western pharmacology, it becomes possible to refine "superior medical treatments" that can reconstruct human cells through recombination. This approach is certain to reduce the rapid loss of human lives to "cancerous tumors."
It is essential to alter the genetic essence of humanity to significantly reduce the helpless fading of human life in the current era. Concurrently, advancements in medical science and technology must be pursued. In fact, some existing research and innovations have already begun to "borrow expertise" from other fields, contributing to the growth of biochemical technologies targeting "cancerous tumors." Such progress can help diminish the premature loss of human lives.
The transformation of cells composes all living beings.
Currently, it remains only in the research and development phase. As for when it will truly be realized for mass production, a certain period of clinical experience is necessary. Humanity must await the arrival of the time and conditions for such mass production. At present, people should reflect on their own merits and blessings: will they have the patience to wait? They should not let this opportunity slip away too quickly.
Will we have to wait until the emergence of superior integrated Chinese and Western medicine in the future to change the current limitations and helplessness humanity faces regarding "cancerous tumors"? The spread of all chronic diseases is precisely caused by the recurring cycles of air pollution, water resource pollution, pesticide pollution, and biochemical pollution—all of which will manifest one by one.
Before the lives of human beings rapidly fade away, all the waiting that is beyond our control; and as human beings enter this present, tainted world, they already possess a great capacity for harm. At the same time, life has not yet been transformed during its growth period. This unprecedented helplessness in this era also makes it necessary for future medical technology to be exactly as it is.
These elements are thus interwoven, and because the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical science is relatively slow, while the evolution of Western medicine and pharmaceuticals progresses much more rapidly, many lives are lost before humanity has fully matured, which is truly disheartening.
The Evolution of Medical Civilization Through Cellular Composition
If one has already lived a long stretch of time and entered into the prime of life, it is still not guaranteed that one will have the opportunity to engage in religious cultivation for transformation and purification through faith. Such human beings may lament: this is an irretrievable loss, a helpless fading away! However, the great virtue and grace of Heaven is precisely to ensure that every human being has the chance to enter into cultivation, transformation, and evolutionary growth.
Not only is it necessary to purify the "mind," but also to purify the "body." Therefore, it is only correct for human beings to undergo such evolutionary elevation and grant themselves greater opportunities for transformation through religious faith and practice. However, the greatest fear lies in having no such opportunity at all—what can one do then?
That is simply too difficult! It will further lead to the integration of ancient scientific knowledge into the medical techniques of traditional Chinese medicine among the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, as well as into the techniques of Western medicine. It is essential for the two to complement each other, precisely transforming the composition of cells. In addressing the future calamities of humanity, this will drive significant advancements in medical science and technology.
Ancient technological civilization transformed into the contemporary era.
It will enable the regeneration or transplantation of organs in the human body, which represents an essential direction for the future advancement of both Chinese and Western medical science and technology. In times of human calamity, this capability will offer a transformative advantage. It will also foster an understanding that the mutual integration of cellular structures is achieved through a complementary and synergistic interaction.
It will inevitably transform the evolution of medical technology and civilization in Western medicine for all humanity, while also altering the very essence of medical scientific and technological progress. This evolution manifests as the advancement of "organ transplantation, organ purification, and organ modification." All of these are rooted in the evolution of cellular composition, capable of bringing fulfillment to humanity and all living beings.
These are precisely the advancements in medical technology that have evolved from the civilization of "ancient science and technology," transplanted into the modern era. They are created through the technological civilizations of both Eastern and Western "medicine and pharmacology," while also transforming the occurrence of human disasters. Providing greater benefits to the people of the present generation is the true path.
The Celestial Pivot of myriad stars creates blessings,  
And in the human realm, the art of medicine can be upheld.
It is essential to reform both Chinese and Western medicine, synthesizing their pharmacological principles to purify their essence.
Whether solid or liquid, it is effective as long as it is genuine.
The five elements must be integrated within,  
To arrange the return of extraordinary blessings and well-being.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement, addressing the chronic illnesses of humanity.
The adverse effects caused by diseases and cancerous tumors represent a persistent calamity—how can this be changed? It is essential to integrate Western medical technology with traditional Chinese medicine, working in synergy to accurately address and resolve the calamities afflicting humanity. Only this approach is correct.
Wuji Yue, the Martial and Majestic King
The Supreme Wuji, King Yue Wu Mu ascends, gathering all virtuous beings of sentiment.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Spreading transformation and increasing blessings for all.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening. Today, the Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, the Great Emperor of Ziwei, has descended to compose the eleventh chapter of the Great Tao Xingtan, analyzing the combination of technological transformations and cellular structures. This addresses how humanity can evolve to achieve greater benefits through the integration of Chinese and Western medicine.
In the principles of Chinese medical science and technology, combined with those of Western medical science and technology, there lies a means to swiftly heal and eliminate the calamities and illnesses afflicting humanity, with minimal side effects. Human medical science must recognize that "ancient scientific knowledge" in the field of medicine and technology, when integrated into evolution and advancement, embodies true authenticity.
It is hoped that students of this lineage can learn and grow from this, elevating and transcending themselves in the future. This will provide the opportunity to guide and nurture the next generation of students—what could be more rewarding? Cherish this chance! Diligent effort is essential to seize greater opportunities for growth. In truth, everything can be shaped by your own hands.

大道杏壇第十回　   　文明科技變化期
The Supreme Dao Ancestor descends to the sacred hall,  
The Virtuous Celestial Worthy spreads his benevolent grace far and wide.
Twelve Sessions at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao,  
Navigating Technology Across Different Cosmic Cycles.
Chapter Twelve: Different Eras, Technological Disparities
Technology varies across different cosmic cycles.
After sentient beings enter the human world, they begin to apply themselves to daily life, not only in terms of lifestyle orientation but also in the process of creating technological civilization. This is aimed at achieving greater comfort and convenience for human life. However, compared to past eras, this technological civilization has yet to achieve a more refined evolution.
Human beings now rely on the evolution of civilization, which also gives rise to a creative process stemming from life's orientations. However, once civilization evolves to a certain point, daily life becomes overly comfortable, creating a formidable obstacle to further progress. How does such a problem arise?
Sentient beings among humanity are largely unaware of where the root of such issues lies. They fundamentally fail to recognize that these problems arise precisely from the ways in which human beings interact with one another, creating such circumstances. Thus, ordinary people tend to assume that these interpersonal dynamics pose no real hindrance—so why should they be troubled by them?
Why, within such constraints, does it generate considerable destructive power, and
What is the cause of this? Sentient beings may believe that living on this Earth Star is a region of enduring peace and stability for humanity, leading to a life of ease and comfort, which makes it exceedingly difficult to achieve upward growth and elevation.
Different cosmic cycles bring about different transformations.
These conditions allow one to understand that human beings face considerable difficulties in developing a clear orientation toward life. What might the general populace think about this? It is indeed very challenging! Yet, for those who do not see major issues in their own lives, why create unnecessary troubles? In reality, when it comes to the direction of survival, there exist many unavoidable hardships and obstacles.
It originates from the interconnectedness of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering, forming an insurmountable obstacle. If one merely pursues a comfortable life, they will only achieve ease and contentment in daily existence—this is the case for ordinary beings trapped in the cycle of reincarnation. However, if evolution is pursued through the ancient scientific knowledge of different cosmic cycles, then technological civilizations across different times and spaces can emerge.
One can observe the first cosmic cycle, the second cosmic cycle, and the third cosmic cycle. These various dimensions of time and space, along with their causes and conditions, are oriented toward human existence. There exists a realm of being that is profoundly inescapable, and due to the evolution of civilizations across these different times and spaces, distinct causes and conditions for survival arise for humanity and all living beings.
It has also evolved into the present technological civilization, which means that within the continuous unfolding of time and space, we come to understand the necessity of this temporal process. It is precisely through this process that all current survival issues are interconnected, and by examining the orientation of survival, we come to realize humanity's inescapable predicaments—ultimately, it is merely an endless cycle of repetition.
Different eras and spaces give rise to distinct technologies of their respective cosmic cycles.
Therefore, what human beings must see clearly is that the orientation of human existence stems from the fluctuating waves of impermanence. Within these waves of impermanence, it is essential to resolve the issues of survival. Yet, ordinary human beings are unable to comprehend how their actions in each moment of time and space are shaped by these conditions.
Such related issues arise from the helplessness towards survival brought about by each change of time and space. Therefore, it is said: Can every sentient being clearly see how the process of human life unfolds? Not necessarily! Only when many focus on elevating themselves as necessary can they achieve significant growth.
Allow oneself to comprehend amidst the transformations of different times and spaces: why is it that human beings are unable to possess a long-lasting, enduring life form, but instead are limited to merely a hundred years of lifespan, and are caught in an endless cycle of reincarnation? Everyone can understand that the emergence of such issues originates from all the changes within "ancient technological science," and how does this come about?
That is to say, it is a continuous cycle of renewal, where generation after generation of myriad living beings exist upon the Earthly Star, merely going through the motions of what is called life. Such conditions confine one to a state of inescapable obstacles and troubles, merely repeating existence across lifetime after lifetime amidst the ever-changing circumstances of the Earthly Star.
Biochemical cell modification across different species
Such conditions, for the sentient beings of the human realm who enter the realm of Earth and the Underworld, entail only a rather brief existence, with little chance for a longer lifespan to rely upon for their own growth and elevation. This karmic vessel is not an opportunity available to every being, nor can one choose it for oneself—it is truly a matter of profound helplessness!
It can be understood that within the first, second, and third cosmic cycles, what modern science can currently verify amounts to only 4.6 billion years, rather than the 6.4 billion years mentioned by the revered celestial teachers of Chongxin. This discrepancy of 1.8 billion years arises from the different karmic conditions created across distinct temporal cosmic cycles for the development of human survival technology.
In the present era, human beings, through research and discovery, have come to understand and confirm that each species possesses distinct genetic variations. Therefore, across different cosmic cycles and spatiotemporal contexts, varying inherent qualities emerge, participating in the evolutionary processes of humanity and all living beings. These qualities also transform the sentient beings of different species.
In response to each shift in time and space, numerous distinct causal factors integrate into the genetic essence of humanity and all living beings, giving rise to genetic creations adapted to different spatiotemporal contexts. This process also gives birth to varying technological civilizations across different cosmic cycles. Yet, even among human scientists, few comprehend how such evolutionary progress unfolds within these cosmic epochs.
Each cosmic cycle undergoes distinct transformations, manifesting a nature of diversity and differentiation.
It can be understood that all living beings across different times and spaces, shaped by varying causes and conditions, are propagated through biochemical cells, thereby giving rise to diverse technological civilizations. These distinct biochemical cells are not limited to but include: single-celled organisms, double-celled organisms, triple-celled organisms, quadruple-celled organisms, hybrid-celled organisms, and so forth.
There exists a type of adaptation that responds to the civilizational changes of a given era, adhering to the principle of "survival of the fittest," while also forming the notion that the "unfit" will be eliminated. As for all biotechnological cells, they originate from the integration of all things in existence. Thus, in every time and space, different genetic essences are incorporated.
Only when talents merge and transform into species composed of different cellular entities, such conditions are created according to the causes and conditions of past time and space. What forms is due to the reproduction of "biochemical cells," which then evolve into many different species. For present-day human beings, it is not necessarily known how these cells transform or in what ways.
Humanity in the 21st century encounters natural and man-made calamities, all of which are directed toward the future "biochemical cells" for reproduction. This is because each biochemical transformation generates cellular elements of varying energies, which in turn adapt to disasters across different times and spaces, thereby altering the reproduction of diverse biochemical cells. This process shapes the myriad living beings of the future.
The Yuan and Hui periods differ in time and space, and thus their genetic makeup also differs.
These can be expressed as: survival of the fittest, elimination of the unfit. Because in the context of time and space where strengths and weaknesses exist, all that can be perceived is precisely the reproduction of biochemical cells, forming every kind of living being that survives according to this universal law. Moreover, the reproduction of these biochemical cells enables the overcoming of all disasters.
It also reveals to all existing beings and living creatures that it is indeed survival of the fittest, while those unfit are inevitably eliminated. From the First Kalpa and the Second Kalpa to the present Third Kalpa, the survival orientation of humanity and all sentient beings has always been this way. Observe, is there any sentient being who can live for billions of years? It is far too difficult!
It merely exists within the realm of true reality, yet this realm of true reality is one of profound helplessness. Such conditions must be understood as belonging to the "formless realm," which, in contrast, endures continuously. However, what remains within this formless realm cannot be clearly perceived by sentient beings through sight alone. What, then, is the reason for this?
Thus, it is merely an unseen image, one that can endure for a relatively long period of time. As for this kind of karmic connection, how can one ensure that it persists across even longer spans of time and space without fading away? Because in the formless realm, it is akin to the immortal Buddhas and teachers, capable of existing across vast stretches of time.
Cells evolve into all living beings, each following a distinct path of evolution.
In the proliferation of all biochemical cells, it is the survival of the fittest, while the unfit are eliminated. This is because, for all living beings in the realm of reality, there exists an inevitable cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering. This entanglement ultimately leads to decay and eventual extinction—a condition that remains profoundly inescapable.
Given the emergence of such issues, what might people think? It is necessary to preserve the realm of true reality, which is precisely a form of renewal akin to metabolism, and it will undergo endless transformations. The proliferation of biochemical cells exists within the realm of true reality, but does the intangible realm lack the proliferation of biochemical cells? Not at all!
This type of issue can be observed in the intangible realm, and it further raises the question: what causes the proliferation of biochemical cells? In fact, biochemical cells do not only reproduce within the physical realm; they also propagate in the intangible realm. It is simply because the vision of human beings cannot perceive the proliferation of such intangible biochemical cells.
The orientation of continuous proliferation in biochemical cells.
It is believed that such issues do not exist, for human vision is limited and incapable of perceiving the proliferation of biochemical cells in the invisible realm. This condition necessitates scientific instruments for observation, enabling the perception of intangible existence. Consequently, humanity only comprehends the proliferation of biochemical cells in the tangible world, seeing it merely as reproduction.
Fundamentally, it is impossible to perceive the reproductive cells of the intangible realm, yet they continuously multiply. Therefore, as long as one possesses even a slight ability, they can witness the proliferation of these intangible biochemical cells. This condition allows sentient beings to understand the distinction between the "tangible realm and the intangible realm" concerning the entire Earthly Obscure Star!
This is precisely the "biochemical cell of the tangible and intangible realms," capable of illuminating how all different species are likewise formed, thereby constituting the entire realm of repeatedly existing dark stars. How can one comprehend the key principles within? The next chapter will provide a clearer analysis! It will also offer everyone a fresh perspective and concept for growth.
Truly, the realm of true reality is imbued with compassion,  
From which humanity and all beings are derived.
Within survival lies destruction; it is difficult to maintain permanence in accumulation.
Life begets cells for reproduction,  
Both tangible and intangible arise from this.
It is essential to clarify its function, which is to transform and create matter.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. Human beings can only comprehend how biological cells evolve in the tangible realm, yet they remain unaware that in the intangible realm, biological cells are also constantly transforming. This is a universal law and principle, which can be understood through the study of biochemistry.
Cell reproduction, how does it relate to the changes in all living beings?
This will lead to greater advancements in civilization and technology, enabling sentient beings to understand how to mitigate all present calamities. There is hope that by "borrowing" scientific and technological talents for innovation,
Creation, when it benefits the present generation of humanity, can alleviate the calamities of the world, and it is precisely through this that progress can be made.
The Sacred Emperor of the Three Passes of Wuji
The Sacred Emperor of the Three Passes of the Wuji Ascends,  
Gathering with All Virtuous Disciples of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The Dao Ancestor personally descends to expound the true principles.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue, the founder of Daoism, has descended to compose the twelfth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. Through the propagation of the "biochemical cells," the differences arising from various kalpas and transformations have come to influence the existence of all human beings.
Humans can only perceive the tangible realm of physical reality, and thus are unable to see that all aspects of the intangible world are propagated through biochemical cells. As such, no one holds this concept. Furthermore, in the future "dark and obscure matter," how can we harness the energy bodies within it through such conditions?
This will lead to extensive research and innovations, addressing all calamities faced by humanity. It can also evolve through the reproduction of biochemical cells, bringing about significant advancements in technological civilization. We hope that everyone will join in learning and growing together, as this serves as the driving force for personal future elevation and provides a foundation for our ultimate direction.

大道杏壇第十回　   　文明科技變化期
Namo to the Original Teacher, the Sacred Hall of Descent,  
The Virtuous and Meaningful Chapter of Shakyamuni.
The Thirteen Discourses of the Great Way at the Apricot Altar:  
Cells Grow and Transform Through Their Inherent Nature.
Chapter Thirteen: The Seed of Cells, The Transformation of All Beings
Cells, through their various transformations, give rise to all living beings.
In the realm of sentient beings, the human species, in their pursuit of survival, undergo a cellular evolution driven by their kind. Regarding the essential food chain for all existence, if viewed from the perspective of the tangible world and all living creatures, the survival of both humanity and all beings, observed through the lens of the entire Earth, is aimed at elevating the entire process of evolution.
The spatial realm of the Earthly Obscurity Star must possess such conditions, which are attached to all orientations of survival. There is no distinction among all sentient beings and living creatures—all are the same. This is because the supply within the food chain must undergo the necessities of different species, thus forming distinct conditions for the survival desires of each kind of living being. This serves as the foundation for all necessities of human beings and all sentient beings.
To comprehend the proliferation of all cells, there must be an unceasing continuity and creation of life, which perpetuates itself to fulfill the necessity of survival orientation. Consequently, various species and living beings develop diverse burdens, specifically to satisfy the need for sustenance provided by the food chain, thereby fulfilling the desire for survival and basic sustenance.
How then can we ensure the necessity of food and warmth, without distinction between humanity and all other living beings?
All life is the same in that, as long as it exists within the interconnected supply of various food chains, it possesses this necessity. It is precisely this necessity that creates the endless cycle of life, perpetuating itself continuously through the process of transmission.
Cells are the fundamental basis for the creation of all things.
In this sentient world, regardless of whether it is humanity or all living beings, as long as one exists within the space of this Diming Star, it is essential to understand how to perpetuate life. One must also recognize the necessity of such perpetuation and the conditions under which it occurs. For human beings, this process takes the Diming Star as the fundamental basis for survival.
Therefore, what distinguishes human beings from animals is precisely this; similarly, what elevates humanity above other living beings is also this. By observing the evolution of ancient science and technology, we can see that different times and spaces have given rise to distinct creations, leading to diverse evolutionary paths shaped by varying causes. Under such conditions, one can understand how survival on Earth has unfolded.
However, there exist different orientations for the survival of all living beings. It is precisely through many cosmic cycles that the "seeds of causes" for different cellular entities are generated, and various "causal seeds" are added, which then transform into energy bodies in different regions. This can facilitate not only all human beings but also all other living creatures and myriad forms of life.
If the Earth and the stars were inhabited solely by human beings, what kind of scenario would unfold? Not necessarily! It is essential to understand that throughout the course of evolution, from ancient times to the present, the food chain of human beings has never changed. Let us ponder carefully: what circumstances would arise for humanity or all other living beings in such a case?
From the sowing of causes and their transformations, all living beings and myriad things arise.
For any living animal, there exists a demand within the food chain, which also constitutes the supply side—namely, the need for sustenance and nourishment. Similarly, there is an inherent necessity for satiety. Yet, this satiety never overflows into excess. How, then, does this condition come about for living animals?
Will there never be a day of overflowing abundance? Not so! In fact, within the survival orientation of all human beings, desire is necessarily thus. It is precisely because of the desires inherent in the composition of the food chain, and within the survival orientation, that all living beings can have their fill and also undergo digestion.
There is a system known as the digestive system, which is essential for sustaining the life of all living beings. It is crucial to understand that "excess and deficiency" both deviate from the Middle Way. For when one indulges excessively, it harms one's own physical health, and such imbalances arise precisely from this excess or deficiency. This includes indiscriminately consuming all kinds of food, whether suitable or not, into one's stomach.
The formation of unhealthy food chains inevitably impacts physical health, making it impossible to achieve a better constitution. Moreover, the various ignorance and lack of knowledge among humanity have led to the widespread use of harmful black substances, which, combined with the destruction of life, have resulted in an abundance of modern-day civilization diseases.
The food chain sustains all living beings through its interconnected causes.
All applicable medical technologies fail to enable humanity to comprehend that the energy of "dark and shadowy material substances" can counteract the "source of black sustenance" to bring about change. Moreover, this evolution of biochemical cells arises solely from survival-oriented existence, a concept that remains absent in human scientific understanding.
Therefore, the acquisition of dark and shadowy substances is not actually difficult. Human technology fundamentally understands only the "driving forces" of the human world, and is entirely incapable of comprehending the "counter-forces and non-forces" inherent within these dark and shadowy substances. On the planet Diming, many such dark substances exist.
In essence, regardless of the region, it is possible to fully possess such "yin-world resources." Moreover, the advancement of human medical technology must also incorporate the five elements of traditional Chinese philosophy—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to effectively address and resolve the various ailments of the modern era.
To elaborate further, this involves utilizing the energy essence of "dark and yin materials," combined with the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—to address different organs within the human body. This approach yields tangible medical transformations, targeting the evolution of various cellular structures, thereby enabling the treatment of modern-day "cancerous tumors."
Dark and obscure materials give rise to advancements in medical technology.
To comprehend the evolution from all different causal seeds, one must recognize that this particular type of cell originates from the evolution of "dark and obscure material substances." Extracting its essence as raw material for medical technology can lead to the formation of symptoms associated with all chronic diseases and cancerous tumors, thereby enabling the dissolution of harmful cells that exist.
It is through the addition of cells to cells that the adverse genetic predispositions of the other are overcome, thereby advancing the evolution of the human body. This kind of human being can clearly understand how to address chronic illnesses and cancerous tumor cells by supplementing the deficiencies in the five elements within these cells through the transplantation of biochemical cells.
By utilizing this method to eliminate the proliferation of harmful cells, significant efficacy can be achieved. Moreover, in the realm of medical technology, it holds the potential to transform adverse health conditions in the human body, thereby fostering healthier physical states. For humanity at large, it serves as a means to eradicate diseases and alleviate suffering, while also helping to reduce the premature loss of precious human lives.
It can be said that regardless of any nation in the human world, people are gradually coming to realize that the entire planet Earth has been severely damaged. This has further exacerbated the inability of the human world to maintain healthy physical bodies. Such problems largely stem from the ignorance of humanity, which gives rise to difficulties and obstacles.
Cells, by their nature, create and transform all things.
Forcing oneself into such a state also leaves little room for healthier survival, which is why humanity is only now beginning to feel the urgency. There remains room for change in this situation, and it is due to the mercy of Heaven, which descends to aid through the "borrowing of talents" in different eras, that all human shortcomings can be transformed.
Regarding human medical technology, significant improvements can only be achieved through the mutual integration of Chinese and Western approaches. Relying solely on either "Chinese medicine alone, or Chinese and Western medicine in isolation, or Western medicine alone" is not an optimal strategy. It is essential to accurately harness the energy essence from dark matter within this medical technology and incorporate it to address the deficiencies in the Five Elements theory of traditional Chinese medicine. This approach holds great potential for efficacy.
All can be overcome according to the Five Elements. Human physical ailments also manifest as: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, which correspond to: Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Faith, used to treat the: Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lungs, and Kidneys. How then are deficiencies in these aspects addressed? By understanding that, in accordance with the Five Elements of humanity, Heaven guides the practice of the Four Virtues and Eight Moral Principles.
It also enables all human beings to adhere to the practice of ethics and morality, thereby forming ancient anthropology, ancient moral philosophy, and ancient ethics, without ever deviating from such constraints. This serves as a way for humanity to understand that all talents bestowed by Heaven are intended to benefit through invention and creation.
How to Effectively Utilize the Five Elements for the Advancement of Medicine
Thus, it cannot be separated from the various frameworks of ancient astronomy, ancient technology, ancient anthropology, ancient moral studies, and ancient ethics. In addressing the survival orientation of sentient beings, it aims to create health and happiness free from illness, drawing upon insights from all human sciences that have yet to fully verify the existence of "dark matter" for extraction.
The true hope for what the Five Elements should augment lies precisely in humanity's: the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues. One must not think it is merely about adding the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—while forgetting: what of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness? And how do these serve as moral and ethical reinforcements for the human body?
If one can understand how these causes and conditions operate, it becomes easy to enter into the acquisition of the "dark and obscure material substance." This is precisely what drives the evolution and growth of the human body. In the future, it will inevitably lead to the reproduction of biochemical cells and the advancement of more sophisticated technological civilizations, ultimately benefiting all human beings.
Human beings, without distinction: advancements in medical technology, biotechnology, microscopy, peptide technology, and many other scientific and technological civilizations have greatly aided humanity. Evolution, return, transcendence, fulfillment, and ascension arise from one's own diligent efforts, bringing substantial benefits and providing the genuine resources for ascent and return.
Black darkness creates the substance of all things,  
Yet the multitudes of humanity do not understand this.
The civilization of science and technology remains superficial,  
Insufficient to verify the grace bestowed by heavenly virtue.
Originally complete, it has long existed; past causes and conditions are difficult to fulfill.
To pioneer the evolution of civilization,  
Sentient technology shall inevitably come to refine it.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. It also offers a clear understanding of the benefits across various fields as human civilization and technology advance in the future. The emergence of a highly advanced civilization will enable greater growth for future sentient beings, which truly represents the genuine elevation and transcendence of humanity.

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the founder of Buddhism, Namo Original Teacher Shakyamuni Buddha, has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. In this chapter, the key points from the previous installment regarding causes and conditions are analyzed, explaining how all human beings can attain them, and these insights are now shared with everyone.
Simultaneously, it is essential to understand how to integrate the Five Elements of traditional Chinese medicine into Western medical science and technology, in order to identify the root of the problem. This will also help reduce the tragic loss of precious lives among humanity. Therefore, in the present era, it is necessary to combine these two approaches, which will significantly diminish major obstacles.

Fourteen Discourses at the Apricot Altar of the Great Way:  
Anthropology of the Ancients as the Guiding Principle
Chapter Fourteen: The Great Way and the Apricot Altar — Paleoanthropology
The Great Way and the Apricot Altar: Ancient Anthropology
When sentient beings enter the human realm, they inevitably develop a necessity for life orientation, which requires nurturing activities. This stems from the essential dominance of the food chain in human existence, guided by the pursuit of a comfortable life. Only by achieving a stable and comfortable daily existence can one follow the right path.
If we consider the expansion of the human world: based on the foundations of ancient anthropology, humans, due to the integration of different elemental transformations of the Five Phases, evolved into distinct races, resulting in various skin tones scattered across the globe. Thus, diverse human beings have come to inhabit different nations, with these varying skin tones further defining the distinctions among races.
This addresses the fundamental role that paleoanthropology and evolution must play in the contemporary era. For the survival orientation of humanity, the necessity of securing warmth and sustenance drives all human beings to perform essential actions within the food chain. This necessity gives rise to the inherent desire for basic nourishment, which is precisely what the human food chain requires.
This humanistic world relies on support, and in terms of the necessity of life orientation, it also enables people
All beings are part of a food chain, and each human being must be adequately nourished to gain the strength needed to accomplish any task. This provides the driving force to sustain the continuity of the chain of affairs.
The Fundamental Functions of Paleoanthropology
If the desire for satiation is not fulfilled, hunger arises, and thus there is no strength to sustain the continuation of every action. This most fundamental act of satiation for human beings originates from the First Kalpa, through the Second Kalpa, and continues into the present Third Kalpa. It has always been this way, following this law of survival.
Therefore, human beings possess an inherent necessity to seek sustenance. As they rely on various matters to sustain all other living beings, this process also contributes to the advancement of human evolution. This phenomenon gave rise to the civilization of "paleoanthropology," and through the pursuit of survival, it fosters the interconnection of affairs in a chain-like manner.
After each transformation from sea to mulberry field, tranquility is restored, and life returns to a comfortable space. This is the fundamental condition for the evolution of humanity, and it also promotes human life. By transcending the limitations that hindered growth in the past, evolution in the present era of technological civilization is elevated and transformed.
One can observe that the civilization and progress of this cosmic cycle have advanced far beyond past eras. Yet when compared to other cosmic cycles, human evolution is still in its infancy. A considerable span of time will be required for further evolution before more civilized and technologically advanced living conditions can be achieved. In this process, what roles will all contributing factors play?
Paleoanthropology in comparison with the present day.
It is precisely due to the necessity of depending on human survival that the evolution of civilization and technology can be observed. This condition, which relies on the present moment, only makes possible the first stage of civilizational evolution. Thus, in the future, technological civilization will become dozens of times more advanced than it is today.
Moreover, from the perspective of sentient beings, such conditions precisely involve "borrowing" scientific and technological civilization to transplant it into the current era. Regarding human scientific and technological civilization, it can be said that it has already far surpassed the scale of this cosmic cycle. This is why, in the daily lives of sentient beings in the present generation, such a state of affairs is inevitable.
It also suggests that the evolution of humanity can achieve more advanced progress, which, in the current context of technological civilization, represents an upward advancement. Thus, it can be said: under such conditions, it remains exceedingly difficult for human beings to elevate and grow in the aspects of "body, mind, and spirit." What causes this? It is essential to benefit humanity.
At present, we merely focus on achieving a comfortable life, fundamentally failing to evolve toward the elevation and transcendence of the human spirit. This results in a state where only material comfort is pursued, while the evolution of the human "body, mind, and spirit" is neglected. Consequently, we become solely oriented toward livelihood, burying the potential for spiritual growth.
Human existence is not merely about comfort.
If there is no evolution of "mind and body," such human beings will trigger all calamities to assail the human world. How can this be resolved? To elevate the "body, mind, and spirit" of humanity, it is essential to understand that within the broader scope of anthropology, the advancement of technological civilization must genuinely transcend the mind.
It is imperative to consider the matter comprehensively from the perspective of Earth and the Underworld Star, rather than allowing calamities to continuously invade the living spheres of sentient beings. Moreover, it is essential to understand that during the first and second kalpas, calamities have already befallen the sentient beings of the present era. Given that humanity lacks even the slightest awareness of such circumstances, what can be done?
It is essential to address and mitigate these calamities, for otherwise disasters on the Earthly Pluto Star will continue to occur incessantly. Therefore, humanity must truly comprehend how all calamities on the Earthly Pluto Star come into being. They must also possess a genuine understanding to grasp the origins and consequences of all disasters.
Only by truly comprehending the causes of all disasters can we achieve an evolution in human life. This requires adopting a more objective perspective, rather than being confined to the actions of individual nations. With too many small countries, it becomes impossible to maintain the overall safety of the entire Earth.
Human calamities are dispelled by borrowing the virtue and resources of benevolent foundations.
Therefore, human beings are unable to comprehend the entirety of the planet Earth, nor can they eliminate the suffering caused by calamities. From the perspective of humanity, it holds true that without experiencing events, one cannot gain wisdom. Consequently, in this era and space, it becomes necessary for certain more significant nations to take on the responsibility of alleviating disasters for humankind.
However, it is not necessarily only large nations that can accomplish this. This technology for human survival has also shaped the evolution of medical science, giving rise to a "civilization of borrowing talent" that has created many technological products. These advancements provide humanity with significant scientific and technological capabilities, integrating into every aspect of human existence.
It is not merely a matter of shifting direction through the management of a few financial groups. Rather, it is essential to understand that humanity is not solely driven by the pursuit of profit. In truth, the greatest purpose of humankind stems from the question: how can we create and serve the well-being of humanity as a foundation? There are also many directions for the survival of humankind, which in turn give rise to numerous civilizations that evolve accordingly.
It is also necessary to mitigate human calamities, which are resolved step by step. However, this approach is essential for the "Shande Foundation," as the life orientation of human beings spans only a century. After accounting for eating, drinking, excretion, and sleep, the time truly available to serve oneself and others is, in fact, quite limited.
The Shan De Foundation Alleviates Human Calamities
If such conditions cannot create greater causes and conditions for the welfare of human beings, it is likely that those who aspire to accumulate greater "hidden virtues" will find it difficult to evolve and elevate humanity beyond its current state. From this perspective, it can be observed that the entry of every sentient being into the human world for survival constitutes a chapter in the "evolutionary history of humanity."
It is precisely because each individual serves as both a protagonist and a supporting character that the human world becomes so vibrant and diverse. This ongoing "human narrative history" evolves continuously, giving rise to numerous technological and civilizational advancements. For humanity as a whole, this represents an evolution in anthropology, enabling greater growth and transcendence.
Therefore, it is necessary for these "financial groups" in the human world to act in this way; otherwise, there will be "each new generation surpasses the old, as waves of the Yangtze River drive those ahead onto the shore." This represents the replacement of the old with the new, allowing a lineage to be born from "nothingness into existence," thereby creating human welfare and adding to one's hidden virtues. This brings immense blessings and rewards.
Therefore, in the future, it will inevitably evolve into a large "financial conglomerate." Such conditions must be transformed step by step, advancing through the evolution of all human civilization and technology. At the same time, the teachings and concepts imparted by the immortal and enlightened masters will be disseminated into the human world. This not only leads to one's own accomplishment but also benefits all sentient beings, and the future blessings will be boundless.
The Shande Foundation Creates Well-being for Humanity
Thus, in the course of one's growth, each step leaves a solid footprint, and from nothingness, something is born. This is precisely the essence of genuine growth. Therefore, the evolution of humanity arises from each transformation, followed by the further development of thoughts and ideas.
Only then can there be a greater enhancement of creation, making it necessary and correct for the evolution and growth of humanity. To eliminate all human calamities one by one, such an approach requires the dissemination of truthful concepts. In exercising the duties of Heaven, further progress and growth can be achieved, which is the right path to benefit all sentient beings.
Such conditions necessitate advance preparations for human calamities. By deeply instilling the thoughts and concepts taught by our immortal and Buddha teachers into the eighth consciousness, one can cultivate the mindset to eliminate future disasters. This will lead to a greater elevation of all human civilizations and bring about more substantial benefits.
It is essential to deeply embed these concepts into the eighth consciousness, gathering more talents to establish a framework for dissemination and creation. This evolution will bring about significant elevation, which aligns with the teachings of the immortal and buddha mentors and reflects the compassionate grace of the divine. It also serves as a criterion for evaluating whether the leaders in charge are capable of bearing such weighty responsibilities.
Fundamentals of Anthropology in Technological Civilization
Only by implementing it more truthfully can such an effect be achieved. This requires first establishing a "good and high reputation" to promote it, so that in the future, many high-tech talents will be gathered to carry out the sacred mission of "spreading the great way." Moreover, such a gathering will precisely reflect and enhance each other within the future development of humanistic technology.
A greater mission thus unfolds—to transform and eliminate all calamities in the human world. This is something that Heaven has long awaited, which is why all the immortals and buddhas from the upper realms have been instructed to descend to the human world to educate, enlighten, and elevate humanity. If we reflect on this, where else could such a divine opportunity and profound affinity be found? It is exceedingly rare.
From this, one can understand the conditions required by Heaven and the enlightened teachers: to change the disasters and calamities of the human world, it is precisely through contemporary human medical technology that we must address past deficiencies and shortcomings. It is essential to achieve genuine progress and elevation, and to implement these changes in a truthful manner—only then can it be considered the right path.
They are truly worthy of the duties bestowed by Heaven,  
Such are the immortal Buddhas and teachers.
One must comprehend the will of Heaven, and faithfully advance the virtue of technological evolution.
Civilization's changes bring many calamities,  
And with humanity, sorrows will surely multiply.
Borrowing the original intent of discovery,  
Evolution elevates well-being.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. Facing an era of calamitous evolution in the future, all human beings must truthfully advance civilization, technology, and creation to keep pace with all forthcoming changes. Only by "borrowing talents" to gather and act with utmost sincerity can the calamities of the human world be transformed and resolved. This is the true path.
The Celestial Worthy Who Teaches and Transforms from the Wuji
The Celestial Worthy of Limitless Teaching ascends,  
gathering all divine beings and people of good will.
May all virtuous beings be blessed with auspiciousness and well-being. May the lofty aspirations be broadly manifested and truly realized.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Supreme Sage and Master of Confucianism, Confucius, has personally descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. The Great Dao Xingtan, through the lens of ancient anthropology, invites all humanity to jointly explore how future calamities can be prevented in advance—a shared responsibility for everyone.
It also addresses how a spiritual lineage, through the divine mission bestowed by Heaven, descends into the human world. Over the course of fifteen years, the teachings, guidance, and transcendent concepts imparted by the immortal and enlightened mentors are precisely as they should be. Moreover, by unveiling these celestial secrets to humanity, their future implementation will be carried out in accordance with the true nature of reality.

The fifteenth assembly at the Apricot Altar of the Great Way:  
The foundation of humanity is inherently good.
Chapter Fifteen: Paleoanthropology — The Origins of All Living Beings
The Origin of All Beings in Paleoanthropology
When sentient human beings enter the planet Earth, there arises a necessity for orientation in life. This necessity, which humans require for their existence, drives the need for a comfortable direction in life to foster growth. This gave rise to the evolution of "paleoanthropology." But how exactly did this occur? It is indeed profoundly difficult to comprehend!
Therefore, the current state of human technology remains in its infancy, making it difficult to discern the nature of ancient anthropology. While traces of the present cosmic cycle may still be observable, when looking back to the first and second cosmic cycles of the past, clarity becomes even more elusive. As for the genetic essence of such humanity, what might it truly be?
The progress created by human beings makes it difficult to grow in every moment of time and circumstance. Only by reaching different causal systems, and within the foundation of humanity, comparing the present with the various causal qualities of the past, can one come to understand that the genetic quality of human beings is gradually declining.
Formed by different genes, it aims to alter the life course of all human beings.
In the first and second kalpas of ancient times, this had already evolved into a genetic makeup surpassing that of humanity. Consequently, it would bring about significant elevation and transcendence for all sentient beings. This stems from the fact that beings from different regions possess a more favorable fundamental essence.
Root Genes of Ancient Humans
By integrating with the human body and forming various transformative effects, it becomes possible to withstand the disasters presented by the Earthly Nether Star. This allows the human body to evolve into a more refined physical form, precisely by cultivating all virtuous genes and transforming them into a superior bodily species. Such conditions will also greatly enhance the evolution of human thought.
In the process of human evolution through cause and effect, greater achievements will emerge, integrating all technological civilizations. This evolutionary progress of civilization represents an upward growth and elevation for humanity and all living beings, enabling more advanced transcendence. Only in this way can a virtuous cycle be established in all aspects of human existence.
Although human beings are necessarily composed of food chains, there is no past killing behavior, and the addition of harmful gases to human beings is reduced. This is precisely how the creation of "different cosmic cycles" in the past was intended to be! It directly benefits the innate immunity of the human body.
Nor would they easily contract the diseases prevalent among modern humans, as they possess an innate immunity forged through creation, establishing them as evolutionary pioneers for humanity. With the creation of distinct biochemical cells, it becomes clear that different energies of the Five Elements have been integrated into the physical forms of human beings, thereby evolving diverse races and species.
Paleoanthropology: The Origins of Sentient Beings
In past cosmic cycles, the human forms that emerged represented a relatively advanced state of human existence. This evolutionary genetic makeup allowed human beings to experience birth and aging, yet without the afflictions of illness, pain, or decay. This constituted a significant advancement in human physiological functions, bringing tangible benefits to humanity.
Observing the bodies of human beings today, they have deteriorated by several tens of times compared to those of the past. The current human form is thus unable to withstand the ravages of the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—resulting in a lack of comfortable living spaces and healthy bodies for humanity in their present existence. This indirectly gives rise to numerous troubles.
Therefore, in the face of such physical decline, human beings must take it as a warning and strive to transform their physical forms in the present moment. This fundamental cause must yield significant functional benefits in order to improve the health of human physical functions, thereby fostering robust immunity and ensuring the well-being of all sentient beings.
It will not lead to hasty and disorderly actions that hinder the progress of human evolution, nor will it obstruct the survival orientation of all human beings. Furthermore, it addresses all the maladjustments arising from illness and pain, which are part of the recurring cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering. For the present human race, as the physical body declines and deteriorates, genuine transformation is essential.
The Human Origins of Sentient Beings
In this flawed and deficient evolution, many disasters will befall future generations of humanity, threatening the very process of human survival. To address this, it is essential to first identify the superior genetic traits from the first and second kalpas, and then transplant them into the current kalpa. This will serve to transform and enhance the human body, thereby fostering a more virtuous evolution.
For the human body, this represents an evolutionary progression. It is essential for humanity's current physical form to undergo such evolution in order to embrace this civilization and transcend the limitations of time and space. Only through this necessary evolution of human existence can we prevent greater devastation to the physical forms of humanity in the future.
This kind of evolutionary advancement is essential for humanity; otherwise, there will be significant decline, decay, and unhealthiness. Such a situation poses a destructive force not only to humankind but also to all living beings, even though other forms of life do not encroach upon the human sphere of existence.
However, it is precisely this dependency on all forms of existence in the human world that also indirectly inflicts harm upon sentient beings. As humanity evolves and grows, simultaneously elevating other species, various energies manifest across different times and spaces, thereby undermining the survival orientations of all sentient beings and the myriad creatures of the world.
The fundamental genetic essence of humanity is inherently oriented toward growth.
This process involves the addition of different genes, which will evolve all living beings into a more virtuous quality, while also transforming all human beings, eliminating all future calamities in survival. Because the fundamental nature of human beings evolves, they will possess healthier bodies and will not encounter minor disasters that would extinguish their lives.
This will precipitate future calamities, which, though they may arise continuously, will bring about the enhancement of innate immunity, thereby reducing the relentless devastation inflicted upon the bodies of all beings. Through transformations across all different cosmic cycles, the human form and the evolving bodies of all living creatures are refined—this is the fundamental act of divine grace bestowed by Heaven.
For all human beings in this spacetime, it is necessary to be so, regardless of which region of the Diming Star they inhabit. All sentient beings are in the same situation, precisely because calamities are gradually approaching, yet humanity remains utterly unaware and does not believe that such disasters will cause significant devastation to their future survival.
Achieving the Transformation of Fundamental Qualities
In fact, for humanity, the precautionary perspective held by some scientists and commentators—who assert that certain factors will inevitably cause significant harm to humanity in the future, regardless of whether this assertion is correct—is valid. Nor does the fact that humanity currently cannot foresee future calamities alter the inevitability of their arrival.
Moreover, constantly being in such a situation, with incessant changes that are bound to lead to disaster in the future, makes it difficult for humanity and all beings to comprehend just how cruel the fate of all those who will perish in the future—both humans and other beings—will be. Yet, this impending disaster and its obstacles will serve as a necessary warning to humanity and all beings.
Simultaneously, human calamities stem from the obstacles and disasters manifested by humanity's own creations. Due to human ignorance, the world continues to be plagued by the calamities brought about by human civilization, and these are difficult to eradicate within a short period of time for the people of today.
Altering genes to create superior physical constitutions
This situation would lead to the loss of many precious lives among sentient beings. Therefore, it is essential for humanity to thoroughly understand the origins and causes of all calamities. Only then can we develop genuine methods to prevent the continuous emergence of human disasters. In this regard, human medical technology is fundamentally inadequate to match the destructive power manifested by such calamities.
Therefore, it is essential to integrate "Western medical technology" with "Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacology" to complement each other. This will lead to the development of future medical products such as "tablets or liquid formulations," gradually improving the adverse conditions faced by humanity and addressing various medical issues. These medical challenges are bound to be genuinely transformed in the future by the evolution of medical technology.
There will then be a genuine salvation of the precious lives of all sentient beings, which is the true nature of reality. With the evolution of medical technology, humanity will inevitably transform the future "predatory behavior in the food chain" and all current civilizational ailments, such as the destructive force of cancer and tumors. Such effects are bound to come to pass.
Medicine excels in promoting technology,  
Yet civilization's evolution is beyond compare.
Disasters approach, be cautious and wise; humanity must act with prudence.
All civilizations evolve and progress,  
All sentient beings blossom in heart and mind.
People of all nations and races, elevate the quality of culture.
This verse is shared to encourage all sentient beings together. For humanity in the future, the evolution and transformation of one's own body will gradually manifest step by step, achieved through a systematic process. It will not suddenly alter the bodies of all human beings at once, as that would be an exceedingly undesirable form of technology.
Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven of the Limitless
The Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven of the Infinite ascends,  
gathering all virtuous beings of sentiment.
The Lord Jehovah descends to teach,  
Composing works at the Apricot Altar, where virtue and blessings are displayed.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, Jehovah, the founder of Christianity, has personally descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, addressing the genetic modifications of ancient human beings. As the calamities for future humanity gradually emerge, everyone must remain vigilant.
Only then, when calamities strike and are dealt with, will there still be opportunities for elevation and transcendence. To clarify this point, it is essential to understand that curbing all "food chain killing behaviors" is key. By reducing the occurrence of many disasters, human calamities can be dissolved, thereby genuinely fostering growth and benefit for all.

第十九回  人類基因　變化莫測

大道杏壇第十回　   　文明科技變化期
Islam is passed down across the world; Muhammad laid the foundation of the great Way.
The Sixteenth Chapter of the Prophetic Works: The Covenant for the Elevation of the Nature of All Beings
Chapter Sixteen: The Nature of All Beings — Elevation and Transcendence
How Can the Nature of All Beings Be Elevated and Transcended
In the pursuit of survival, human beings inherently possess numerous deficiencies and shortcomings in their genetic makeup. Observing from the perspective of the current era, the quality of human genes is progressively declining. It can be said that, when compared to the first and second epochs, the fundamental essence of genes in contemporary humanity can hardly match that of those earlier times.
If we consider the fundamental nature bestowed by Heaven, we can observe that in the present era, it is increasingly difficult for human beings to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. Moreover, when compared to past generations, why is it that the fundamental nature of humanity today appears to be in gradual decline? What are the causes behind this phenomenon?
As humanity enters the third cosmic cycle of existence, each transformation from sea to mulberry fields fails to produce a fundamental quality surpassing the previous one. Hence, the genetic essence of humankind can hardly compare to that of bygone eras. What, then, are the reasons behind the decline of human genes?
Thus, one can observe that the quality of human existence has only undergone a transformation in all aspects of life over the past century.
The lifestyle, evolving from the civilization of European and American nations, has transformed the quality of human life in the modern era, gradually replacing the way of life in the Eastern lands of the past. This set of conditions and circumstances has been shaped by the evolution of civilization and technology, guided by the will of Heaven.
The nature of all beings must be elevated and transcended.
Simultaneously, the fundamental qualities of humanity and all sentient beings are evolving. From the perspective of humanity, this evolutionary advancement represents a transformation of unfavorable genes, enabling upward growth and transcendence. If viewed from the perspective of the first and second kalpas of the past, many limitations in the upward growth of humanity in the current era can be observed. What, then, are the reasons for this?
Due to such mutual limitations and obstacles, it becomes difficult for humanity to achieve upward growth and transcendence within the confines of civilization and technology. If compared to the more familiar ways of existence for people in the current era, many past advancements in civilization would likely be diminished, leaving only the survival methods of the past to persist.
The formation of human beings, assembled through the food chain, inevitably introduces many obscure toxins and tumors into the body, causing the vitality of humanity to gradually decline. Under such conditions, modern medical technology struggles to eliminate these cancers and toxins, leaving us to helplessly witness their inexorable destruction.
Therefore, human beings must reform the composition of the survival food chain and readjust it to achieve sufficiency. If the human population reaches nine billion in the future, this species will face shortages and inadequacies in food supply, and numerous water resource issues will also arise.
Only by transforming the fundamental nature of humanity can one transcend.
If we do not change the future population now, before it reaches ten billion, all the burdens may become unbearable. It is likely that humanity will struggle to achieve a balance in medical technology and the food chain, as well as in the extraction of water resources. This will also create many challenges that are difficult to alter in the present, making it exceedingly hard to change the way humans survive.
Therefore, in preparing for the future, it is essential to embrace this concept: the compassionate grace of Heaven must be strengthened in this regard. This means addressing the deficiencies and inadequacies of humanity. If future food supplies continue to be obtained through slaughter, it is feared that even more disasters will befall the human world.
This is not the original intention of Heaven, so what is the reason? One can observe that in the process of survival, there are significant deficiencies among the living beings in today's world. This is one of the reasons why the population will explode in the future. Moreover, when all populations are crowded into one region, it leads to a shortage of water resources.
Consequently, as the Earth gradually grows hotter, it will also become increasingly colder. This can be described as no longer having four distinct seasons as clearly as in the past, leaving only the present-day "two seasons of winter and summer." From the perspective of humanity and all living beings, this situation represents a considerable destructive force, yet currently, very few humans are aware of this.
Human nature must be changed truthfully and authentically.
This will inevitably lead to a situation where the vast majority of humanity, oriented toward material pursuits, fundamentally struggles to achieve greater evolutionary growth. It can be said that in some relatively developed countries, all needs within the food chain are amply met, while in some more backward nations, even securing basic sustenance and living a stable life remains difficult.
Therefore, while obtaining their place in the food chain, human beings also slaughter a great many other creatures to sustain themselves. This kind of slaughter grows increasingly cruel, and within the food chain, all marine life can be said to be diminishing more and more—all of which is caused by human overfishing.
If humanity does not alter the composition of the future food chain in the present moment, it is likely that the sustenance chain will become severely deficient, which will in turn threaten the survival of humankind. This temporal and causal convergence can be described as something that will likely manifest within the next two decades or so, by which time all efforts may prove too late.
In particular, the entire space of the planet Earth has already been ravaged by the technological civilization of humanity. What should have been a clear and pristine celestial body has, through the relentless destruction by human beings, been damaged to such an extent that it is now difficult to restore its original clarity. Consequently, all manner of human calamities follow one after another, which is indeed inevitable.
Population explosion threatens food chain pressure.
Perhaps no one feels any discomfort in their daily actions, simply living day by day. However, when viewed from the perspective of the entire Earth: the destruction over the past twenty years or so has made the planet increasingly unsuitable for human habitation. Coupled with the declining human birth rate, what could be the reason for this?
This population explosion will impose considerable pressure on all inhabitants of Earth, leading to future calamities that extend far beyond a mere hole in the ozone layer. It will also create immense demographic strain on human survival, while simultaneously causing shortages in the food supply chain.
At present, humanity has yet to attain such insight, but in the future, this situation will indeed be witnessed as it truly is. This is an action of considerable necessity. At the same time, to thoroughly mitigate the calamities that humanity will face in the next twenty years, it is essential to reduce the burden of population growth by addressing birth rates in a realistic manner.
At the same time, it is essential to refine the human food chain and enhance the natural vitality of all food sources. This can create a future where fresh nourishment is provided through "tablets or liquid forms" that satisfy hunger, thereby reducing many acts of slaughter. In truth, the real effect is to diminish the swirling vortices of unwilling resentment that arise from countless other living beings being senselessly killed.
Altering the Human Evolutionary Food Chain
It is essential to alter the composition of humanity within the food chain, which will prevent these issues from recurring. This, in turn, will contribute to the evolution of human beings in body, mind, and spirit. Such a transformation is a genuine necessity for human survival, ultimately leading to comfort and well-being in all aspects of life. This is an indispensable course of action.
Human beings, regardless of the nation in which they reside, will genuinely reduce acts of killing in all pursuits of survival. Even amidst the influence of adverse atmospheric cycles, such conduct will enable humanity on Earth to establish a truthful foundation and simultaneously create the future necessity for "seawater desalination."
Otherwise, following the population explosion, it is feared that even greater disasters will ensue, leading to the slaughter of humanity. This is an undeniable adverse effect on the future population, which is bound to approach nearly ten billion in scale. It is precisely this that forms the primary reason why humanity must alter its genes, and it is also for this reason that this invention and creation have been "borrowed" from the heavens.
The second batch of the "Borrowing Generals for Transformation" initiative has now commenced.
All of the first batch, comprising over two million high-tech talents, has already completed its descent and transformation. The second batch, consisting of ten million individuals, has also begun its process of elevation and creation, which commenced within the last five years. Gradually, this will inevitably alter all current limitations for the survival of humanity in the future.
The fundamental essence of human beings is to create more advanced energy bodies, thereby equipping humanity with the functions of a more evolved energy system to resist all future biochemical and bacterial devastation. This is a crucial matter that is currently difficult for humanity to comprehend. Therefore, the entire Earth must genuinely transform its present limitations.
In addressing the mitigation of future calamities for humanity, it is precisely the fundamental purpose of the Chongxin lineage bestowed by Heaven to admonish all sentient beings. Humanity must faithfully implement the "principles of social order and ethics" to avoid being "inescapably doomed to disaster" and to overcome difficulties in transcendence. Moreover, it is essential to establish genuine regulations to foster a stable and harmonious living environment.
In ancient times, humanity originated from a fundamental cause,  
creation and transformation embody the nature of truth.
Today's humanity is a civilization,  
Hardly comparable to the pre-genetic era.
The human race in the sentient world — the population explosion reveals its trace.
Transforming within the food chain to create a shared future of sustenance.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. It is essential for all human beings to cultivate a mindset of preparing for the future. At present, most lack this awareness, but soon we will witness the arrival of all calamities. If we only begin to prepare when they arrive, I fear a large portion of humanity may already have perished by then!
One can then understand all points of contention, and thus change the calamities of humanity, while receiving even greater blessings in return. Such exceptional conditions and causes are precisely as described. Moreover, observing the noble spirit of Chongxin, which is quite excellent, it is capable of undertaking the extraordinary cause of "proclaiming the teachings on behalf of Heaven." This is indeed what the Heavens have selected to accomplish.
Puxian Bodhisattva of the Wuji
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra of the Wuji Realm ascends to the assembly, gathering all sentient beings and virtuous disciples.
The Islamic prophet descended to the world,  
Personally establishing the foundation at the Apricot Altar.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, has descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, elevating and transcending the fundamental nature of humanity, which is recorded in the Celestial Book. This will greatly foster the growth and elevation of all human beings in the future.
It is only genuine to prepare for and mitigate the calamities that befall humanity before they arrive, for human beings can hardly foresee when any disaster may strike. Without such genuine insight, it is essential for the world to take precautions in advance, so that disasters do not hinder the inventions and creations entrusted by Heaven—a necessary achievement indeed.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! The day after tomorrow is this year's Universal Offering Dharma Assembly, where all students, disciples, and devotees will compassionately participate in the "Universal Offering for the Benefit of Both Yin and Yang Realms," which can also help eliminate karmic obstacles and increase blessings and wisdom! Moreover, it sincerely addresses sentient beings with affection, focusing on fulfilling filial piety and repaying the kindness of ancestors.

Li Zi passes on blessings to future generations; the Great White Immortal descends and arrives.
The Seventeenth Assembly at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao: The Gene of Civilization Transformed
Chapter Seventeen: The Evolution of Civilization and Genetic Modification
Civilization's Evolution through Genetic Modification
At this juncture of civilization's evolution, humanity has given rise to numerous symptoms of civilization, which continue to accumulate. Concurrently, disasters for humankind persist unceasingly, and present-day technology remains incapable of altering these calamities. This situation poses a significant threat to the lives of all human beings and the myriad creatures of the world.
The calamities that drive the evolution of all civilizations stem from the adverse influences of the present era. This issue has long been discerned by the divine. Transformations in civilization inevitably bring disasters, and the many highly skilled talents endowed with advanced technological capabilities are, within this temporal and circumstantial context, conducting research and inventions aimed at resolving all future calamities.
What are the reasons behind this? From the perspective of ancient scientific studies, the genes of humanity have long been unable to compare with those of the first and second cosmic cycles. It is necessary to transplant them into the present era, as these increasingly deteriorating human genes must be transformed to elevate humanity beyond such limitations.
Thus, there is the concept of the heavens "borrowing generals" for the evolution of civilization. Viewed from this perspective, humanity as a whole
When one enters into this situation, they can understand why humanity seeks to enhance genetic modifications. This will greatly benefit all future human technology, lead to many advancements in civilization, and ultimately bring about good and benefit for all beings.
Civilization's evolution necessitates the transformation of human genes.
These conditions, in relation to the calamities currently faced by humanity, are merely the beginning. Only in the future will they gradually manifest as disasters for humankind, leading to the loss of life. This loss of life is driven by the evolution of too many civilizations, which transforms the concepts once understood by humanity into forces of even greater destruction.
Due to the evolution of human technology, all issues will gradually emerge, necessitating that all civilizations and technologies alter human genes to achieve a new level of evolutionary advancement. Therefore, in the first batch of "borrowed talents" sent down by the heavens, the primary goal is to transform all the undesirable genetic traits of humanity.
Only then can transformation and elevation be possible. By utilizing the human genes of technological civilization and disseminating them through conception via borrowed seeds, the genetic essence of humanity can be altered. This is the foremost priority and action to be taken. Therefore, when beings in the present moment conceive through "borrowed seeds," the first alteration of human genetic lineage is achieved.
For those declining genes that were previously difficult to evolve and enhance, each will be evolved into the reproduction of more advanced human genes. Thus, after the second batch, these changes to the essential nature of human beings' genes will gradually take effect. Among all the seven thousand "borrowed talents" in the future, a large portion will be tasked with: conception through borrowed seeds.
The decline of human genes necessitates their enhancement.
Nor will any inherently unsuitable genetic traits be introduced into the human world. Instead, humanity will be elevated through successive transformations of its intrinsic qualities. Therefore, in the future, these "borrowed enhancements" that alter human genes to achieve elevation will arise from diverse temporal and spatial conditions, fostering the growth of future civilizations through evolution.
It is precisely by allowing the entire planet of Diming to undergo a transformation of human genes on a considerable scale. This situation resembles the "borrowing of talents" effect seen in the first and second cosmic cycles, where the fundamental qualities of all human beings are reshaped. Enhancing the basic qualities of humanity through such evolution represents a form of growth and elevation.
All human beings are unable to comprehend: What exactly is this divine grace from Heaven? It is also difficult for them to understand why all humanity must transform this genetic essence in order to elevate human quality. For the future, this represents a significant evolution of civilization—for how else can the growth and advancement of humankind be elevated?
It is precisely in the present moment that we must undertake the task of reforming and altering the essence of human genes. If we delay such changes until the future, it may not be possible to achieve our goals all at once. Therefore, humanity exists within a "realm of actuality," and the evolution of all civilizations must be grounded in the well-being of human beings.
Borrowing Civilization to Alter Human Genes
It cannot be left solely to the unseen workings of Heaven to accomplish; it must also be realized through tangible existence within the human world. Only through the actual lives of humanity can true fulfillment be achieved. Thus, the calamities faced by humankind must be addressed step by step through human effort—this is the righteous path.
What is the reason for its formation? It is precisely because the heavens have lent their talents to facilitate it. The necessity for the evolution of all civilizations is also advanced through the virtuous grace of the heavenly realm, elevating all civilizations in the human world. Thus, the originally intended chaotic limitations are transformed, reinitiating the growth and evolution of all past civilizations from the first and second cosmic cycles.
Granting the Third Epoch the same opportunity to undergo the advancement of all civilizations, this is the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Mystic Spirit and Exalted God, descending upon the human world. It serves to reorganize all the limitations of human existence and elevate humanity beyond these constraints.
Civilization evolves as a necessity, and thus it undergoes transformations. This stems from the need for humanity to personally engage in invention and creation, which in turn fosters the growth of future civilizational progress. In this way, all the diverse nations in the world today are engaged in reforming and refining the "imperial systems" of the past.
The Necessity of Transforming Genes through Civilization's Evolution
The implementation of the "electoral system" has also transformed some outdated and flawed institutions, rectifying all deficiencies and errors. It is precisely through such progress in civilization that "moral governance" becomes the righteous path. This transformation is essential for nations across different worlds.
Regardless of which nation one resides in on this Earth Star, the same principle applies: the formation of Earth Star is essentially a "global village" within the cosmos, achievable through the internet. This serves as a necessary "vanguard of the Great Way" for the people of the present generation, to be applied truthfully and practically.
In the future, there will inevitably be a transformation of true energy, which will alter the human bodies of all beings in every region and nation, enabling them to swiftly relocate to other countries. This energy is precisely what the immortal and buddha teachers refer to as "transferring to other places or transforming other places through relocation." These two forms of energy involve different transformations of energy.
Without the need to rely on modern high-speed vehicles such as cars and airplanes—some of which may become obsolete in the future—will humanity truly be able to benefit from the technological civilization of tomorrow? Not necessarily. It may instead lead to a divergence in technological civilizations across different nations.
Transferring energy is a necessity for the future.
Moreover, to what extent of evolutionary advancement will it progress? This depends on the intrinsic nature of the genes invented and created in the second batch of "borrowing talents" in the future. Such evolutionary technology will undoubtedly manifest authentically in the progress of civilization, which is the transformation of energy, enabling a future free from the toils and hardships of mobilizing vast efforts.
Like a celestial or enlightened teacher, the relocation and transformation of civilizations—or the transformation of places themselves—requires genuine, substantive growth for true completeness to be achieved. These are aspects of civilization and technology that will inevitably be realized in the future. As for witnessing such evolution in the present day, it is likely beyond the reach of modern humanity.
A considerable period of research and development is necessary to truly realize this conversion of energy. Only then can it bring significant benefits to humanity and all living beings. In the future, will we be able to break free from the energy constraints of Dimingxing? It also depends on whether future civilizations evolve sufficiently to achieve such advancement. Only then can this vision be tangibly manifested.
How to Effectively Utilize Transferred Technological Capabilities
Therefore, in the human world, for the living space of sentient beings in the present moment, it is essential for humanity to develop technology that evolves with truthful nature. This will allow future civilization, in relation to the energy bodies of human beings, to genuinely enhance and transform the essence of genes, thereby providing widespread benefits for all people.
This is the transfer of the evolutionary energy of the human species, which requires a light and agile body. Otherwise, if the body is too heavy, it may not be easily transferred. Moreover, the possession of such energy necessitates a light and agile body, while simultaneously altering the predatory behavior in the human food chain, thereby reducing the occurrence of calamities and misfortunes.
In the future, achieving a healthier transformation of the physical body will necessarily require the integrity of "tablets or liquid forms." Otherwise, as all human beings are currently "heavy and cumbersome" (in Taiwanese pronunciation), transferring energy would become difficult. Therefore, in the future, humanity will inevitably alter the food chain supply to cultivate a light and healthy physique.
Only with a light and agile body can one achieve swift movement.
It also enables all human killing activities to reduce the slaughter of animals, which is the primary reliance upheld by Heaven. This is also necessary for altering the genes of all human beings, as it can reduce the killing within the food chain throughout the growth process, while simultaneously diminishing all illnesses in the human world.
In particular, the occurrence of cancer and tumors, as well as the emergence of many modern diseases, are largely due to the "calamity entering through the mouth" within the food chain. This has compelled humanity today to elevate all technological advancements, necessitating a genuine and effective means of curbing the development of these cancers, tumors, and all related diseases.
Only then can there be a healthy human body aligned with the right path, which must evolve within technological civilization. This simultaneously brings greater benefits to all humanity and the living space of all beings, thereby reducing acts of killing and harm to life. This is essential for carrying out the virtuous grace of heaven and earth, allowing all to coexist in balance within the human world.
Transform technology through evolution; elevate human existence to a higher state.
It is essential to reduce killing, as it brings about calamities that arise from one's own actions.
A lifetime can be satisfied with food and drink, yet there is always something one must seek.
Pills and elixirs bring great blessings; transforming the body, joy and ease abound.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. In the current era of technological civilization, disasters facing humanity are gradually increasing and drawing ever closer. Therefore, the heavens have initiated the "borrowing of talents" in advance, aiming to transform all calamities destined to befall the human world and achieve future elevation through creation.
Manjushri Bodhisattva of the Wuji
The establishment of the fruit of enlightenment arises from the boundless causes and conditions; the ritual of Manjusri Bodhisattva ascending the platform.
Promoting the heart's virtue is essential, for the expansion of enlightenment is imminent.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Immortal Elder Li Taibai has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. Each time the Heavenly Court issues edicts to this hall, they are generally proclaimed by the Immortal Elder Li Taibai. This is due to the profound and auspicious affinity between the Immortal Elder Taibai and our lineage.
This represents a great opportunity for mutual fulfillment. From the content of today's writings, one can understand why the grace of Heaven descends to transform the essence of human genes. As for the calamities that humanity will face in the future era of technological civilization, they will inevitably increase. This is a necessary process aimed at reshaping the world and fostering the growth of goodness.
The human world is confined by the interactions among people, with technological civilization on one side and the advent of calamities on the other. This is a limitation of the Earthly Nether Star, and as it continues to recur, the question arises: how can we resolve these issues? Therefore, by cultivating and transforming ourselves to rise above, we will not remain perpetually trapped in such limiting obstacles.
Now that we have the sublime teachings of the True Buddha Heart School to elevate us, we can truly embody authenticity. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance and salvation activities will proceed as usual. The day after tomorrow is this month’s repentance ceremony, during which we will devoutly recite the "Compassionate Earth Store Treasure Repentance" in honor of the sacred birthday of Namo Earth Store Bodhisattva. This is truly praiseworthy, and we hope everyone will join us in participation!

第十八回  文明科技　改造基因
Human technological civilization seeks to modify genes.
Sentient beings, upon entering the human world, possess an inherent orientation toward survival. This necessitates that every sentient being in this world must engage in fundamental actions, which include incorporating the food chain as an essential component of this survival orientation. Thus, for human beings, securing "adequate nourishment" becomes a necessary and fundamental action, which in turn serves as the foundation for manifesting goodness.
This necessity for sentient beings to have an entity of action in order to facilitate all affairs raises a question: as human beings enter the present space-time, what is the fundamental nature of the past? It can be said that for all human beings in this cosmic cycle, the fundamental nature has become increasingly diminished, transforming into a rather unfavorable function.
If one is born into the human world, there is only this limited amount of blessings and fortune, making it exceedingly difficult to achieve greater transcendence. Under such conditions, it is challenging for human beings to attain significant growth and elevation in their existence. Nor can future technological civilization facilitate the elevation and fulfillment of all deficiencies and shortcomings.
Such a connection requires a significant opportunity to be realized, and thus humanity...
Throughout the past five millennia, the fundamental pursuit of sentient beings has been merely a comfortable existence. To aspire for greater elevation is undoubtedly as futile as climbing a tree in search of fish, and it has been incapable of fostering the innovative advancement of civilization.
The Primary Aspects of Human Enhancement through Genetic Modification
There were different opportunities shaped by varying times and circumstances, which necessitated modifications to the fundamental genetic essence of all humanity. For human science, such a moment was utterly unforeseeable in ancient times. Thus, over the course of nearly five thousand years of waiting, it can be said that there was no way for humanity to achieve transcendence.
Civilization has progressed to a level of advancement comparable to that of the present era. Thus, it is said: from the time of the Investiture of the Gods in the Zhou dynasty to the Republican era of today, over these thousands of years, the fundamental nature of all humanity has scarcely achieved any higher level of transcendence. Viewed in this light, such circumstances for humanity and all living beings merely represent a state of comfortable existence.
Moreover, during each dynastic transition, the resulting acts of slaughter are beyond the comprehension of people in the present era. This is because in all periods of turmoil, many human beings were often killed without reason. Such circumstances were not confined to China or Western nations—the entire world experienced this alike.
What is the cause of this? It is precisely because within the space of the Earth, there exists a state of mutual limitation and opposition. Each aspect has its counterpart, which gives rise to different perspectives, both positive and negative, from which a single matter is viewed. This leads to the formation of acts of killing, which are in themselves an exceedingly cruel form of behavior.
The Transformation of Human Civilization through Technology
It also allows humanity to survive, yet gives rise to many unavoidable predicaments. This fundamental nature of human beings is simply as it is. To aspire for a higher level of advancement is exceedingly difficult to achieve, precisely because all the blessings of existence are merely thus, leaving no room for greater augmentation.
Just as the present moment unfolds through the creative progression of time and space, actions taken in different temporal and spatial contexts lack the corresponding accumulation of blessings. This reflects how, in the pursuit of survival, human beings determine the environments in which they ought to exist, yet often fall short due to insufficient blessings. This serves as a cautionary reminder for all humanity.
It is essential to have the accumulation of blessings and virtues to attain a higher quality of life in one's approach to existence. It is also necessary to have different times and spaces in order to achieve varied living environments in the future. Regarding humanity's orientation toward survival in this context, why has there been a lack or insufficiency over the past several thousand years?
For all living beings among humanity, their survival orientation is merely the pursuit of a generally comfortable life. However, when compounded by the devastation of natural disasters, human calamities, and warfare, countless human beings are often senselessly slaughtered. From this perspective, if you were to put yourself in the position of those being killed, would you willingly accept it? The answer is clearly no.
Civilization and technology facilitate genetic modification.
The formation of this kind of warfare calamity gives rise to a highly adverse atmospheric vortex, which envelops the entire Earth Star. For all human beings, it generates a considerable destructive force. If this destructive vortex cannot be dissolved, it will evolve into an even more cruel and malevolent atmospheric vortex, persistently lingering without receding.
These malevolent cyclones never retreat from the entire Earth Star. Whenever they encounter any race or all living beings, they are inevitably disturbed by this kind of energy field. Therefore, over the past several millennia, why have the calamities of humanity continued unceasingly? Coupled with the devastation of all wars, this creates a vicious cycle for humankind.
How can there be fresh air and living space in such an atmosphere? It is simply impossible. Because humanity will remain trapped within this harmful vortex, it will continuously affect the comfort of human existence and hinder any greater elevation or transcendence. The very reason why humanity must elevate its genetic essence lies in this very predicament.
If one cannot truly enhance the essence of what genes create, the current technological civilization would not exist. The limitations faced by different eras in the past, which were beyond their control, make it difficult to compare them with today's technological civilization. These varying times, spaces, and causes have shaped distinct human living environments.
Technology Alters the Growth of Human Genes
At present, the blessings and merits of humanity are exceedingly abundant, yet this very abundance has made it persistently difficult to rise, grow, and transcend. This is one matter that the Heavenly Realm has long regarded with concern. When humanity incorporates flawed genes into its survival orientation, it merely accumulates comfort within the living environment, and nothing more.
If it were merely a matter of comfort, convenience, and widespread availability, what would be the point! Why is this so? This is the transformation brought about by the grace of Heaven, elevating the quality of life for all humanity. It is also created through scientific and technological civilization, drawing upon the wisdom of past cosmic cycles to address all the deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors of the present era.
Therefore, it is essential to advance technological civilization, as this is the true path. This evolution of civilization also guides the survival orientation of all human beings, for it transforms the quality of life for all, allowing humanity to thrive within this civilized progress, thereby achieving greater comfort and blessings in existence, and enhancing the ease of living.
This is the invention and creation of "borrowing talents" that fundamentally alters the essence of human genes. At the same time, it transforms human conception by elevating all previously undesirable genetic traits. Precisely targeting humanity and all living beings, it aims to evolve the essence of all genes through creation, thereby fostering the advancement of all civilizations and technologies.
To be born into the earthly realm requires great merit.
One must possess considerable good fortune to have the opportunity to enter the human world and be born as a person. Otherwise, even the most basic survival and sustenance would be impossible. It is due to the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven that the overall "civilization of borrowed talents" has been created and elevated, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
Such conditions necessitate a fundamental understanding of human nature, which is essential for creating future well-being and benefiting all beings. It is imperative to truthfully incorporate, as in the "Chongxin Yanyi," all elements from the "Fengshen Yanyi" over the past millennia—whether good or bad—without exception. This, however, has allowed all negative energies to persistently linger within the human world.
Regarding all evolutions aimed at transforming the space of Diming Star, to cultivate greater and superior genes, the Old Immortal will, after the next six years, inevitably come to initiate another great mission task for the True Buddha Heart School. This is an imperative and sacred duty, and it is only at this present moment that such an opportunity arises.
It is essential to evolve beyond the unfavorable predicament of indiscriminately accepting all past circumstances, whether good or bad, and to transform and refine them through growth. This will lead to greater elevation and transcendence. In this way, the Chongxin lineage will, after the next six years, achieve growth and advancement that will be wholly and perfectly elevated and surpassed by the Heavens.
The Chronicles of the Heart's Cultivation Elevates the Investiture of the Gods
Many exalted immortals and Buddhas from the higher realms will also descend to jointly assist in the implementation of "Chongxin's Evolution." This initiative aims to genuinely transform the inherent genetic essence of all humanity, rectifying past deficiencies and errors. By elevating all "primordial spirit seeds" to "primordial spirit Buddha seeds," it will authentically and profoundly transform the entire Earth Star, ensuring tangible and substantial effects.
Moreover, without any compromise, it is because for all survival-oriented approaches, it is precisely from this situation that such actions are necessary. Only then can there be genuine elevation and transcendence. This is precisely why the Supreme Heaven has bestowed upon the Chongxin Sect, in this current era, a sacred mission to carry out. It is within this specific time and space that such a purpose can be fulfilled.
Thus, the sacred mission carried out by the True Buddha Heart Sect is imperative, as it serves to elevate and rectify all the inadequacies and errors witnessed throughout the historical narrative of "Investiture of the Gods." Therefore, the Old Immortal will not stand idly by, for the profound affinity of Chongxin is precisely the sacred duty long ordained by Heaven.
The celestial beings and Buddhas from the upper realms descend to guide the sacred teachings of Chongxin.
It is essential to jointly invoke the presence of all sacred beings, including the Ancient Buddha of Dipamkara, the Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue and Celestial Humanity, among numerous other sages, immortals, and buddhas. This comprehensive invocation is aimed at elevating and transcending all aspects depicted in the "Investiture of the Gods," transforming the fundamental nature of all sentient beings in the present era. Such an approach is not only necessary but also forms an indispensable foundation for shaping future trends.
It was jointly facilitated by the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji, along with the myriad ancient Buddhas of the celestial realm in the void... and others. In response to the fundamental nature of humanity at present, it is precisely about transforming and elevating all beings to transcendence. This evolution from DNA to RNA represents an essential and sacred task of utmost importance.
Just as the self-luminous essence of QNA evolves truthfully, so does its true nature. Only by elevating and evolving from "The Investiture of the Gods" to the sublime transcendence of "The Evolution of the Reverent Heart" can humanity and all sentient beings be further propelled toward greater evolution. This involves the purification of all realms within the Earthly Nether Star, which is the fundamental grace of the Heavenly Realm, serving to reform the human genetic makeup.
Lamentable indeed is the tale of the Investiture of the Gods, where good and evil alike are gathered, leaving none to rely upon.
The cyclone's relentless grip tightens, laying the groundwork for greater challenges ahead.
The grace of Heaven descends to transform,  
All ill vapors are swept away.
Promoting the Heart's Teachings to Elevate,  
Accomplishing Good Karma and Increasing Blessings.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings. It addresses how to reform and elevate the fundamental qualities of humanity in the future, enabling the dissolution of negative energies among all people. By doing so, future calamities can be minimized to the greatest extent, embodying the benevolent blessings bestowed by Heaven upon all human beings.
Bodhisattva of Great Strength, Limitless Radiance
The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta of the Infinite  
Ascends the platform to gather with all the virtuous and wise.
The Great Emperor of Lanterns descends, transforming the Investiture of the Gods anew.
Good evening, everyone! Today, for all the revered immortals, Buddhas, teachers, virtuous students, as well as the practitioners and scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, it is a moment to verify that six years from now, the "Chongxin Evolution" will be elevated by the descent of numerous celestial immortals and Buddhas from the upper realms, including the Great Emperor of Illuminating Lanterns, Immortal Elder Jiang Taigong Ziya, among others, to enhance the "Investiture of the Gods."
Purification and elevation are directed towards all "ancient dynasty spirits," and are also cultivated among talents selected through "screening technology." This aims to alter the persistent adverse cyclones that have circulated for millennia, genuinely resolving human disasters to minimize their impact, thereby achieving transcendence, return, and ascension—this is the true path.
Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. Next week marks the fifteenth anniversary of our sect’s hall, coinciding with the auspicious day of submitting the thirtieth volume of the *Great Dao Consciousness Celestial Book* to the heavens. Everyone must begin preparations now! Let us do this well! Promote this auspicious day widely, for it is essential to achieve self-fulfillment and guide all beings.

The human genome is ever-changing and unpredictable.
To understand the role of genetic variations in the human world, one must discern what kind of inherent nature it is. It is also necessary to grasp the essence of these genes. Only when integrated into the diverse changes of human existence does the distinct inherent nature of each individual become apparent, leading to the formation of differences among all genes. Such inherent nature and genes inevitably share similar functions.
In this orientation of existence, human beings manifest diverse personalities and behavioral tendencies. These tendencies arise from the unique innate dispositions of each individual. Thus, regarding human beings, what fundamental causes give rise to these differing innate dispositions? They are brought into the fabric of daily life.
Thus, each and every Earthly Star becomes a world of diverse flowers, each of its own kind. This manifests the multitude of different innate natures among human beings. It can be said that, in the beginning, all innate natures were the same. However, through successive cycles of varying transformations, different habits and tendencies have developed, resulting in the same humanity possessing distinct innate natures.
The chains of all human affairs are formed through varied interactions, and it can be said:
What is the reason that the innate nature of humans is inherently more advanced than that of other animals? It is essential to understand that the essence of human genes lies in the incorporation of superior and favorable genetic traits, which enables the memory of all evolutionary progress in civilization.
The nature of humanity and the nature of all living beings
If we consider all other living beings in the world: they do not possess this kind of advanced human genetic makeup, and their survival is oriented within the spatial realm of the Earth and the cosmos, with humanity as their ultimate reference. Thus, for all other living beings, there is a part that provides the food chain on which human beings depend, offering sustenance to humanity, which can be regarded as a form of nurturing merit and virtue.
All living beings, why must they provide for humanity within the food chain? And what reasons have shaped this arrangement? For the entire planet Earth, there exists a necessity: only with the sustenance of food and warmth can there be space for survival. This holds true for humans as well as all other living beings. The essential need for sustenance and warmth gives rise to the existence of all creatures capable of movement.
All living beings in this world give rise to a cycle of growth among species, thereby establishing the foundation of the food chain for sustenance. As humanity enters the realm of livelihood, it is essential to have warmth and nourishment to maintain vitality. Thus, the benevolent grace of Heaven nurtures humankind, while also providing for them through the hunting and gathering of other living beings.
It is also because the food chain can be relied upon without fear of scarcity. This necessary condition relies on the provision of all living beings. It must possess the meritorious quality of nurturing other living beings, not merely serving as a food chain for humanity alone. It must also contribute to the essential needs of sustenance and warmth within the food chains of all living beings.
The nature of human growth is ever-changing and unfathomable.
The formation of all survival orientations is not limited to human beings alone; in fact, all living creatures in the vast universe must engage in the act of seeking warmth and sustenance. This includes all animals capable of movement. It is an undeniable necessity that the act of obtaining sufficient food must occur in order to facilitate the nourishment of the food chain, which stems from the rearing and capturing activities carried out by human beings.
Without distinguishing other species, all are unwilling to be incorporated into the human food chain; this situation is an act of unkindness through killing. Yet, if not so, humans cannot sustain themselves on fruits and vegetables alone in their diet. This would lead to nutritional imbalance for humanity, causing various different orientations among all human beings.
It is precisely what humanity believes to be the natural order—a conviction held from ancient times to the present—that will inevitably transform the diverse inherent qualities of all human beings. By introducing different species into the human food chain, the supply of essential nutrients for humanity is formed, and this is indeed necessary.
Within the genetic essence of human beings, the necessity to consume food leads to the generation of numerous harmful gases that affect other species. This situation is fundamentally regarded by humans as correct and proper. However, it is little realized that if humans were to refrain from consuming all other creatures—not merely adopting a vegetarian or plant-based diet—the outcome would be different.
How Genetic Modification in Humans Can Extend Lifespan
In the earliest stage of human descent, sustenance was not required, as the kinetic energy of the human body evolved from innate energy. For humanity, this evolution meant that simply inhaling the fresh air of the Earthly Underworld Star was sufficient for survival. Why did such conditions exist? It was as if humans were akin to immortals! In truth, was this not originally the case?
Why is it that all human beings in the present era cannot survive merely by inhaling fresh air? This is because, within the living environment that humanity currently inhabits, the once pristine atmosphere of the entire Earth has already been severely damaged and devastated.
Human beings can no longer, as in the past, "survive without the food chain" simply by breathing fresh air. This is because the air today is already saturated with harmful gases, which damage the bodies of all humanity and disrupt the comfort of their living spaces. Yet, people have long grown numb to this reality of survival.
Such conditions lead humanity to believe that the fundamental prerequisites for survival have always been this way, unaware that they are already existing in an increasingly polluted space. Moreover, within the earthly realm where humans reside, there is simply no understanding of how such a space ought to be. One can no longer rely on the past, merely breathing air alone.
Fresh Air Transforms Living Spaces
Observing humanity over these millennia, it is evident that changes have occurred due to the reliance on all other living beings within the food chain for sustenance and survival. Yet, what has caused such a severe reduction in human lifespan? It is the harmful gases from other living beings that have entered the human body.
Everyone can carefully consider why, under such constraints, the "lifespan" of all human beings has become increasingly diminished. This is precisely how it has come to be, and due to the supply from the food chain, many harmful gases have been intensified, accumulating and filling the human body.
The reason why the human body has never been able to attain long-lasting vitality and has instead continuously shortened its lifespan—especially in the present era—lies in the fact that humanity, under such circumstances, has allowed itself to fall into an unfavorable state of existence. This state acts as a barrier, undermining every aspect of life within the human body.
Therefore, the current food chain supply has led to pollution of all kinds on Earth—air pollution, pesticide contamination, water resource pollution, biochemical pollution, and more—resulting in excessive contamination. This has already inflicted immense harm upon the physical bodies of all human beings, with the Taiwan region being particularly affected.
Biochemical bacteria invade all living beings.
In the current era of technological civilization, there should be the potential to alleviate the prolongation of such ailments, yet it simultaneously gives rise to life-threatening risks. When all harmful gases emerge to devastate humanity, it signifies that the human body can no longer bear the pace of all evolutionary advancements, turning humanity into a force that undermines life itself.
The lifespan of human beings has been continuously decreasing, with afflictions and illnesses tormenting them, leading to the loss of life, which is no longer exclusive to the elderly. From the perspective of the human world, those who do not exceed the age of sixty can be considered to have died "prematurely." It is because of such individuals with shortened lives that we say they have passed away too soon.
Human genetic variations give rise to fundamental differences in qualities across generations. In all aspects of human survival, it is essential to cherish the health of the physical body. Therefore, within the essence of human genes, it is necessary to transform bodily functions, evolving toward a healthier physique. Such conditions are precisely what humanity ought to pursue.
Antibodies are produced, giving rise to a biochemical body.
It is imperative to implement this within the next fifty years or so, in order to mitigate the devastation of future calamities. This is because all worldly disasters will continuously assail the health of the human body, and within the next two decades or so, the human body will undergo significant changes in the proliferation of all harmful biochemical bacteria.
It must contribute to greater growth for all human beings to be considered true to reality; it is also essential to genuinely alter the varying genetic changes in humanity. Only in this way can we avoid being devastated by biochemical bacteria and losing precious lives. Why is it that the same type of bacteria, when introduced to different ethnic groups, causes varying degrees of devastation?
The emergence of many different genes has led to the development of a specific biochemical bacterium targeting all human beings in this particular space-time. However, while some races and all living beings may perish, others remain completely unaffected. What is the reason for this? It is precisely due to the different antibodies formed in humans.
Borrowing pregnancy to alter human genes.
It can be said that the genetic makeup of the human race in today's world has already been partially modified, forming the fundamental qualities of this portion. This enables resistance to the proliferation of all future biochemical bacteria, and through the alteration of "borrowed genes," it has developed antibodies for all humanity, originating from the already transformed genetic essence.
Why is it that the biochemical antibodies, which do not exist in the human world, are added? Why is it that as ancient biochemical bacteria multiply, different biochemical bacteria emerge, affecting the disappearance and continuation of humanity? Why do different antibodies appear? In such a time and space, humanity must understand that human genes are unpredictable, and a portion of them have already been infused with biochemical immune antibodies.
It can alter human genes, and much of it will be implemented in the future. Given that the fundamental nature of humanity is unpredictable, and because the civilization also possesses biochemical immunity, it must spread gradually to potentially transform the world. All biochemical bacteria that cause devastation operate in this manner, serving as seeds for the future elevation of humankind.
Human genes are to be transformed,  
Through the transmission of conception.
Innate immunity, a biochemical bastion,  
Withstands countless assaults in countless ways.
To create advantage in the world of sentient beings,  
It is essential to understand that this is the way.
Enhancing energy as a support, future calamities may be extinguished.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all human beings. For humanity, whose genetic makeup is ever unpredictable, it also represents a kind of biochemical bacteria descending into the human world, giving rise to different nations and peoples, fostering innate immunity, and resolving the proliferation of all biochemical bacteria. It precisely possesses the function of "borrowing to conceive."
Simultaneously, by introducing these "borrowed talents for conception" to alter the genetic makeup of the human world, a portion of humanity will be able to avert such calamities and continue to advance all future technological civilizations. Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell!
Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang
The Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang ascends,  
Together with all compassionate deities and mortals.
May all be auspicious and well,  
May the fifteenth anniversary bring blessings and prosperity.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Emperor of Immortality of the Four Poles, the Southern Pole Immortal Elder, has descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, analyzing the unpredictable nature of human genes and elucidating the innate immunity against the propagation of biochemical bacteria, offering humanity a clear understanding.
For all human beings to achieve an upward elevation, it is also due to innate immunity, which stems from the seed causes left after "borrowing generals for conception." This forms the extension of all civilizations and technologies, precisely created by such a situation. It is essential to understand: how is the grace of Heaven? And how is the grace of the immortal and buddha teachers?
From this, one can understand that the Chongxin Sect, in its efforts to propagate and grow in the future, is genuinely shaping the fundamental essence of humanity through transformation. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. It is also time for the Zen Master’s lecture—let us all come together to learn! In doing so, one will naturally benefit and ascend toward transcendence.
Also note: The fifteenth anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect is approaching soon, and the 'Great Dao Consciousness-Only' celestial book submission ceremony is only about a week away. Let us make all preparations early! This will prevent last-minute chaos. Strive to cultivate good affinities in return, for greater fulfillment will gather virtuous and capable individuals.

The Celestial Emperor's virtue and grace were proclaimed.
Twenty Discourses at the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao:  
The Ties Between Morality and Technology Run Deep
Chapter Twenty: The Great Path at the Apricot Altar—Ancient Daoist Virtue and Learning
The Ancient Moral Teachings of the Great Way at the Apricot Altar
When human beings enter this world, some are blessed with a comfortable life. The orientation they adopt in their daily existence stems from a certain necessity of desire inherent in humanity. This necessity of desire, after experiencing a smooth and comfortable life, evolves into a rather urgent need, gradually shaping the minutiae of everyday life.
If there exists an unstable orientation toward survival, it will provoke a genuine elevation in the orientation toward a smooth and comfortable life, making peace and non-conflict essential to such comfort. Therefore, the orientation toward survival stems from the necessity, among all human needs, for a smooth and favorable living space in order to achieve true comfort.
In the comfort of human existence, there lies the necessity for collective survival. This collective survival requires a set of regulations to follow, a need for governing rules, so that humanity does not descend into mutual strife. It is essential to adhere to morality, for such necessity serves as the true path.
Human beings inherently rely on each other within communal life, a condition that is interdependent.
Within this reliance on survival orientation, it is a common domain where human beings gather and live collectively. This survival orientation is shaped by various professions and trades, which also provide all necessities for daily life.
The Foundation of Ancient Moral Philosophy
The provision of materials necessary for human needs is essential to communal society, and is regulated by each community with varying detailed guidelines for management. However, when there are too many rules governing all such guidelines, there will inevitably be those who overstep them. If regulation alone is used for management, it is bound to be imperfect.
Can there be mutual integration? At this point, it becomes necessary to implement "moral norms," which are more suitable for communal societies than rigid regulations and rules. Moreover, in such communal living, when morality is aligned with the orientation toward survival, it fosters comfort and tranquility for all humanity within the community, thereby enabling a sense of ease and well-being.
For all residents within a community or region, the establishment of management regulations is essential. However, if such regulations consist solely of institutional rules, many provisions may prove difficult to adapt to. While adherence to management systems is a necessity for all, the inclusion of moral norms makes it easier to achieve harmony and fulfillment, surpassing what rigid regulations alone can accomplish.
On the contrary! This allows for a more harmonious integration among individuals. Therefore, when implementing management regulations, in each community or region, human beings tend to establish more favorable systems. Moreover, within these management frameworks, the application of moral norms becomes essential—requiring voluntary and proactive adherence, rather than merely acting in compliance with regulations alone.
The Management System of the Apricot Altar's Teachings
If this were the case, there would be no possibility of having a spontaneously formed "moral code" to rely upon. It is precisely because such a moral code exists—having long been implemented across different cosmic cycles—that in each cycle, humanity relies upon this very moral code. Thus, under this framework, human beings abide by the moral code in varying ways.
The evolution of the contemporary human world through "ancient moral philosophy" necessitates not only the application of its principles but also the revision and adaptation of moral norms across different times and contexts. All of this must be guided by the survival orientation of humanity and integrated into the essential regulatory frameworks of human society.
Human clustering arises from spontaneous initiative, which is the true foundation upon which all management systems are implemented. Moreover, human clustering is a necessity, and the enforcement of all regulations and frameworks cannot surpass the spontaneous adherence to "moral norms." Therefore, within clustered societies, the reason for establishing rules lies in their application among human communities.
It is essential to have "self-motivated moral norms," which are necessary for all communal etiquette systems. Precisely because of the establishment of such norms and their integration into human daily life—a way of life that inherently requires mutual respect—there must be a system where directives from above are communicated downward and collectively observed.
Ancient moral teachings were precisely disseminated through the Apricot Altar.
When those below respectfully implement the policies set by those above, a communal system emerges, shaping a future where all ways of life mutually fulfill one another. Such a framework must align with all management systems in practice, and across different regions, varied regulations will be implemented to govern humanity.
This framework is essential for the daily lives of human beings, and it serves as the right path precisely because it functions as a commonly upheld moral standard. It instills in all people the necessity of mutual respect, and within this mutual respect, they inherently adhere to and implement all regulatory systems.
This is why, in the implementation of management regulations, human beings need to voluntarily and spontaneously adhere to moral norms, which then fosters a prevailing social ethos. Consequently, everyone collectively abides by the enforcement of such management regulations, where violators face penalties, while those who comply are encouraged.
Only when all implemented norms are mutually perfected can the "Ancient Moral Studies" be carried out, precisely by connecting each temporal and circumstantial cause to establish a complete regulatory system. Why must different temporal and circumstantial causes mutually perfect each other to facilitate the attachment of every past era? And why must the "Ancient Moral Studies" be adapted and transmitted to the present generation?
The lessons of the past serve as a warning to humanity.
Regarding the implementation of these management regulations, why must it be done this way? Precisely because the enforcement of management rules requires collective adherence, it is necessary to impose penalties on those who violate them. This serves both as a warning to prevent future transgressions and as a lesson for others to learn from the consequences faced by those penalized.
At the same time, it serves as a warning to all human beings living in communities, and also functions as an example to deter others by punishing one. Within the framework of "Ancient Moral Studies," human beings must understand that all regulations are established by humanity itself. The rules, systems, and codes of conduct must be upheld accordingly.
Furthermore, regarding the management system, it is implemented to ensure that all members of a communal society share responsibility, and everyone can collectively adhere to it. This allows the administrators to caution everyone against overstepping the bounds of the management system. As times and circumstances change, different institutional norms will be applied accordingly. Rooted in ancient moral teachings, these regulations are put into practice.
Thus, an orientation of comfort can be established, simultaneously eliminating external factors and safeguarding the peace of the entire community. It is believed that if everyone adheres to the implementation of regulations, there will be no room for individual heroism, leading to mutual harmony and fulfillment within the community.
Jointly abide by the regulations governing human society.
It is essential for the entire community to abide by the principles of peace and order. Humanity operates within this framework, using it as a basis for rectifying deficiencies, errors, and shortcomings. This serves not only as a guideline for correction but also as a commendation for those who adhere to these principles, while acting as a penalty for those who transgress them. In turn, these measures serve as a warning to all.
While implementing regulations for human society, there must also be mutual adherence to ethical norms, without overstepping the bounds of management systems. This is essential for harmonious coexistence within the collective social structure. It requires mutual respect for others' spheres of life—respecting oneself while also respecting others—which serves as a model for the embodiment of morality.
Human beings, governed by such norms, find it necessary to adhere to them collectively while also safeguarding the peace of the entire community. This entails respecting others as one respects oneself, forming a highly commendable standard. Furthermore, the implementation of these principles is carried out through the dual practices of "Dao" and "De."
The ancient teachings of the Dao find their foundation at the Apricot Altar.
Because "Dao" is both a guiding principle and a path, and "De" represents virtuous norms, the combination of the two forms a way of conduct—a practice of considerable goodness and beauty. If anyone oversteps these bounds while others adhere to them, it creates a highly detrimental and unsettling example. Thus, the norms of Dao and De must be upheld as inviolable rules to be followed.
This is the code of conduct that governs the universe, the boundless void, the ethereal heavens, and all realms of human existence. It is implemented differently across various regions, with each nation or community adhering to its own distinct set of regulations. Throughout history, all human beings have abided by these diverse systems of rules, each adapted to its specific context.
For all human beings, there exists a common framework to be observed, which is implemented through moral norms, mutually assisting in the application of regulatory governance. It is essential for sentient beings to follow such regulatory management principles. For humanity, establishing this norm for all to abide by is the true path.
Technology and civilization shape humanity,  
Spreading virtue to all beings, a grace profound.
Moral norms complement each other,  
Management regulations form the foundation.
The moralist nurtures culture's growth,  
Thus steering civilization's course beyond.
Only when human relations are virtuous can the world be governed with harmony and completeness.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement for all sentient beings. It is essential to approach all life pursuits step by step, and to implement all guidelines across different times, spaces, karmic conditions, regions, and even planets. Yet, these seldom deviate from the virtuous grace manifested through the grand evolution of the Dao. This has always been regarded by the Heavenly Realm as a fundamental practice throughout the millennia.
This interpretation of "virtue and grace" through the "Great Dao" is precisely guided by "morality and virtue," serving as the governing principle for all celestial bodies in the universe. It is through humanity and all living beings that the "moral norms" are interconnected and implemented. To establish a foundation for future practice in the present moment, this approach is essential, as it sets a positive example for all of humanity.
Supreme Mother of the Limitless Earth
The Supreme Mother of the Limitless Earth Ascends,  
Gathering All Sentient and Virtuous Beings.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The promotion and expansion are soon to be realized.
All saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Supreme Emperor of the Four Poles and the Primordial Heavenly Realm has personally descended to compose the twentieth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. This chapter disseminates the teachings of the Great Dao Xingtan and ancient Daoist ethics into the human world, offering an analysis of the universal principles that all humanity should collectively follow.
What can be understood by all is that such norms originate from the evolution of the great "Dao" and the nurturing of "De," serving as their foundation. This constitutes the fundamental principle of the Great Dao Xingtan, as well as the common code to be observed by the four billion planets in the future. It is in this same manner that it shall be implemented across the human worlds of the celestial spheres.

The Eastern Sacred Land is bathed in gentle light,  
Where Emperor Qinghua’s virtue and grace guide the way.
The twenty-first chapter of the Great Way Xingtan:  
Ancient virtue and learning nurture the goodness of human nature.
Chapter 21: Ancient Moral Philosophy — Human Nature is Good
Ancient moral teachings hold that human nature is inherently good.
When human beings adopt a survival-oriented approach to life, all aspects of existence become necessities. In truth, every sentient being must first satisfy the basic need to fill its stomach. This condition applies to all living creatures capable of movement, highlighting the fundamental importance of having enough to eat.
It is precisely because of this necessity for basic sustenance that all chains of action are set in motion, giving rise to the necessity for a currency chain within the orientation of these activities. Only then do human beings have their fundamental demands, and in relation to all other living beings, there is no need for the currency chain and the action chain to be intertwined.
Thus, in relation to human beings, such behaviors and actions are formed, integrating into the supply of the food chain while meeting the demands of the transactional chain. This creates a form of compensation, also intertwined with the currency chain—commonly known as universal currency—which collectively fosters a communal living orientation among human beings.
A family must first establish a food chain before it can form a chain of affairs.
By continuing to give, one will then receive the reward of a chain of goods, which can sustain the warmth and nourishment of the entire family. Such human beings will have a moral foundation to rely on, enabling them to foster mutual growth under these conditions.
The Great Path, the Apricot Altar, the Moral Compass, and the Assembly of Adherents.
In the orientation of human existence derived from daily life, there is a moral dependence that connects to the divine. This moral dependence is not merely a present phenomenon; it has long been rooted in the evolutionary processes of heaven and earth, forming what can be described as a form of "non-action creation" and a process of growth.
The formation of the established principles that have long existed within heaven and earth is also the unfolding of the universe's virtuous grace. It is through the combination of the great "Dao" that "De" (virtue) finds its attachment, thus forming "Dao-De" (morality) to be fully realized. In the human world, as we depend on it to guide our life's direction, it is precisely the possession and application of these two elements—"Dao and De"—that are enacted within human society.
Indeed! In the process of purifying heaven and earth, the norms of "Dao and De" inherently exist. These are intended to guide and be applied within the human world, thereby establishing the principles upon which all existence depends for survival. Thus, the application of "morality" in the human world is not limited solely to sentient beings among humanity.
It further encompasses the entire spatial realm of the Earth and the stars, including all visible tangible entities and invisible spiritual beings. All of these must be fulfilled through "the Way and Virtue." Only when moral principles are established for both the tangible and intangible worlds can the laws of existence for the human world and the unseen realm be upheld.
Morality is contingent upon the existence of humanity.
Therefore, in the process of purifying heaven and earth, it is the regulation of Dao and De that takes the central role through "non-action." Consequently, in the human world, there exists an innate nature that is inherently good. This unfolding of heaven and earth operates through the attachment to Dao and De. Thus, the first essential action in the human world must be: the necessity of being well-fed.
This is the fundamental function inherent in all activities and myriad beings of the Earthly Underworld Star, which collectively participate in the entire evolutionary process of the star. This process is regulated by "non-action" and guided by the principles of "virtue and morality." Thus, in the course of survival, human beings must not deviate from the moral framework and guidelines.
It is essential to be truthful to all living beings, which means uniting and aligning together—this is the true path. Therefore, it is necessary to have moral regulations. Why is this so? Most human beings believe that "humans are inherently good at birth." While it is true that humans are inherently good at birth, it is also correct to say that humans are inherently evil at birth.
This perspective on purifying sentient beings prevents one from assuming that human beings are permitted to commit evil without considering moral principles. It is essential to understand the distinctions between all that is virtuous and all that is vicious, and these distinctions become clear only through lived experience in the human world. This is fundamental to being human.
The Benevolence of Human Nature in the Hall of the Great Way
It is precisely because of this attachment to morality, derived from the learning and growth of all human beings, that one can create an upward trajectory of self-improvement and elevate one's essence. It is within this elevated essence that one can embody the innate "essential nature" that has always existed. Consequently, the law of survival becomes a process of learning and growth, ultimately leading to a state of peace and comfort.
This perspective on the essence of human nature does not distinguish between good and evil. It is only after humans descend into the mortal world that, through the process of learning and growth, as they bear all the necessities and evolutions of survival, the distinction between "good nature and evil nature" emerges.
After undergoing religious purification, one can reveal the "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" within. At this point, regarding one's future, there emerges a distinction between ascent and descent. Therefore, it is true that human nature is originally good at birth, but in fact, human nature is also originally evil at birth, which gives rise to the differentiation between future blessings and misfortunes.
Why do all human beings not act in the direction of goodness, but instead tend toward wrongdoing and evil? This precisely reveals that in the nature of humanity, there lies a questionable aspect. Therefore, to ascend and transcend toward the seed cause of Buddhahood in order to achieve realization is comparatively easier.
The Fundamental Function of Ancient Moral Philosophy
To be understood, when dealing with the seeds of demonic nature, it is necessary to delve into the inner workings to investigate all causes and consequences. How else can one develop a kind of innate immunity for human beings? Generally, it is quite difficult to comprehend such perplexities, and because of religious cleansing, one may become bound by the obstacles of religious knowledge and delusion, which shackle sentient beings.
Moreover, they often harm their own spiritual elevation and transcendence through religious and doctrinal obstacles. For such individuals, there exists considerable difficulty in achieving greater growth as genuine practitioners. To truly advance, one must rely on the "Ancient Moral Teachings," which are inherently aligned with human goodness and serve as the foundation for purifying one's nature into that of a Buddha.
It also simultaneously transforms and eliminates the malignant qualities of human nature within ancient moral teachings, serving as a means of cultivation and reform. Thus, when viewed from the perspective of ancient cosmic cycles: why is it that in this current era, the dissemination of "ancient moral teachings" to humanity has consistently failed to enable beings to return to and transcend their fundamental origins? And how has this come to be?
Regarding the fundamental nature of humanity, one should have long been able to transcend and return to a higher state. Why, then, have we remained deeply entrenched in the human world? The primary reason lies in being constrained by the textual and delusional obstacles of religion, further limited by "religious and doctrinal barriers," which have continuously bound sentient beings to the realm of human existence.
Human nature, shaped by good and evil, determines existence.
It is necessary to dissolve these limitations and obstacles through such means, so that humanity can apply what it inherently possesses—the fundamental nature of human beings is good. Since this good nature exists, it should be elevated in goodness as the right path. Yet, why is it that human beings have always found it so difficult to manifest this good nature and adopt it as the orientation for their existence? This is indeed profoundly challenging!
Human beings inherently possess a necessity for upward elevation. This elevation of humanity's virtuous nature requires the transformation and manifestation of all undesirable tendencies. Such a condition represents a process of re-evolution and growth for all humankind. As social animals, humans have established systems of governance and regulation. Whether one ascends or descends is ultimately a matter of personal choice.
When such regulatory measures are exercised with malicious intent, they can cause considerable distress to those in charge. It is essential to recognize that the administrators are, in fact, all residents. Whether a more harmonious communal existence can be achieved through the application of moral principles is precisely the law of human survival, and this applies universally, without exception for anyone.
Furthermore, those who enter the "Dharma Realm's Essence of Wisdom" neither distinguish between self and others nor differentiate among all beings and myriad things. They all possess a kind of "fraternal love" that has undergone considerable evolution. This enables evolution to elevate and transcend, aligning with the ancient moral teachings that advocate the fulfillment and transcendence of human goodness, unconstrained by the primitive limitations of "inherent nature."
The nature of all beings is inherently the seed of both Buddha and Mara, truth and suchness.
This essence manifests the true nature of Buddha-nature, enabling the genuine realization of "Buddha-nature as Suchness" in the present moment. It is essential for the principles of human existence to align with this, for otherwise, any governing entity would struggle to guide communal dwellers toward more complete evolution. Indeed, the human world evolves precisely by adhering to such ancient moral teachings.
The elevation of the human world, particularly in the present era, has evolved to such an extent that the ancient moral teachings must also evolve and be elevated in this modern age to avoid being buried by negative influences. This ongoing growth and elevation is indeed an undeniable truth for all humanity in the 21st century, evolving toward a more transcendent return.
Regarding the inherent goodness of human nature, why do we consistently act upon its negative tendencies, and what causes this? In truth, for the sake of survival and self-interest, humanity buries its virtuous roots, rendering them incapable of cultivation. Instead, it continually manifests actions driven by negative inclinations, forming a cycle of stagnation that seems impossible to transcend.
Ancient moral studies serve as the foundation,  
Elevating the essence of human nature.
Believing one possesses a virtuous nature,  
Yet acting as a vessel of malevolent disposition.
Transformation in the twenty-first century advances,  
The essence of human genes ascends to new heights.
To elevate the cause, evolution is essential; returning and transcending offers boundless goodness.
This verse serves as a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings. Regarding the inherent nature of all human beings, it should be "fundamentally good in essence." Why, then, do humans develop unwholesome and evil roots? This is indeed worth pondering! To understand how the inherent nature of all humans truly is—this is precisely what makes its transformation and elimination necessary.
Furthermore, the most difficult point for human beings to comprehend lies in the inability to understand all inherent natures, merely living in a state of confusion. Whether one can elevate oneself thus becomes exceedingly challenging. Thank you all for accompanying the writing. The fifteenth-anniversary celebration of the Chongxin Sect is approaching. We shall wait until tomorrow, after the book-offering ceremony, to return to the celestial realm. Your hard work is appreciated. Farewell for now.
The Primordial Queen Mother of the West

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure, one of the Four Poles, has personally descended to compose the twenty-first chapter of the Great Dao Apricot Altum. This chapter analyzes the foundation of human goodness in ancient moral teachings, distinguishing for all in the mortal world the essence of human nature—the separation between innate goodness and inherent baseness.
The belief that human nature is inherently good or evil is, in fact, shaped by learning and growth in later life. It is through this that moral regulations in human society find their foundation, and this is the true path. In this way, everyone is given a choice—a distinction between what one chooses to accept or reject, a dividing line between ascent and descent, ultimately shaping whether one reaps benefits or suffers losses in the future.

Homage to the descent of Dipankara, the Ancient Buddha;  
The True Buddha Heart School spreads its light to distant lands.
The twenty-second chapter of the Great Way's Apricot Altair:  
The state's foundation is integrated with the voyage of virtue.
Chapter 22: The State Established, the Dao and Its Virtue Spread
The state is established, and the virtues are disseminated.
Sentient beings living in the human world form societies and communities, which provide numerous conveniences for daily life. These conditions offer substantial support to humanity. It is precisely through such collective social structures that diverse professions emerge and thrive within various living environments.
The provision of various materials offers considerable convenience to human life. As communities gather together, different professions emerge to support the necessities of daily living. This includes the facilitation of clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and recreation. The availability of such conveniences enables their widespread adoption and universal application.
This is a collective function of society, whereby human beings, in the course of their lives, engage in various professions to create comfort and security for all living beings. Human survival also involves attainable necessities, such as ensuring sustenance through the food chain, which in turn gives rise to various providers across different industries.
This will lead to the formation of a comprehensive supply chain in various industries during the provision of services.
The accumulation of wealth and resources, which depends on the varying roles of different industries in generating income, inevitably leads to distinctions between abundance and scarcity. This is an essential aspect of how human society collectively functions within a nation.
The state is established on virtue, and morality is universally disseminated.
It is also through such gatherings of the community that the regulations of "ethical principles and social order" are implemented. The most crucial aspect of this lies in the dissemination of morality. Precisely by constructing it in this manner, under the framework of "ancient moral philosophy," it can be integrated into today's human world. Only through such means can a comfortable living space be established, benefiting all.
Such is the world of humanity, which has also evolved under the influence of "ancient moral philosophy" into the contemporary world. Regarding "morality" as a virtuous custom and tradition, this holds true across all nations and religions without distinction. Moreover, how should the function of such "morality" be implemented within the framework of a society?
Why must human beings adhere to a certain moral framework to be considered correct? It is essential to understand that in the course of life, if humanity fails to abide by moral regulations when they are implemented, many transgressions will arise. Once these exceed the boundaries of human governance, it becomes impossible to maintain a peaceful and comfortable life.
It is inevitable that many fears of survival will arise. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to live freely and comfortably. It is necessary to implement moral regulations in order to establish an orderly moral framework. This moral framework must be ingrained in the psychology of all human beings, and it should be applied to all forms of "moral" regulation.
The universal dissemination of virtue benefits all humanity.
The implementation of such moral norms must be "voluntary and self-initiated" to avoid overstepping the boundaries of morality. Otherwise, it may lead to erroneous perceptions among the masses, making compliance difficult. Therefore, moral regulation serves to supplement the shortcomings of national laws, while also addressing and rectifying deficiencies and errors in human "ethics."
For ordinary individuals, if they slightly transgress the boundaries of moral norms in their actions, such behavior typically does not incur punishment under national laws or legal penalties. However, if one violates these moral norms, they will likely remember not to repeat the offense in the future, and a sense of "shame" will prompt them to correct their shortcomings and errors.
If the laws of a nation are such that even the slightest transgression in any matter results in punishment, it must be remembered that national laws are not divorced from human sentiments and worldly affairs. In the implementation of moral regulations, it is essential first to establish an understanding of the psychology of all human beings and to reinforce the ideological foundation of moral governance.
Once this core ideological concept is established, it gives rise to a "moral sense of shame" that proves more effective than national laws. This moral sense inevitably manifests in the enforcement of ethical norms, cultivated through "education and moral instruction." It encourages all human beings, in all aspects of their existence, to abide by the regulations of life without overstepping them.
Religious education can supplement the inadequacies of the law.
At the same time, moral standards are implemented, so human beings live under such conditions, which also shapes all their actions and behaviors. It is essential that morality be disseminated universally, for in the process of its dissemination, human beings become more capable of retaining a sense of vigilance in the present moment, thereby avoiding the formation of irresolvable conflicts.
If one frequently forgets all past vigilance, leading to a constant sense of morality, it can also diminish the enforcement of moral regulations. Why is this so? It is because the Dao is the guiding principle, and De is the hidden virtue. With such hidden virtue within the guiding principle, what would everyone think? It lies in this: when morality serves as both the guiding principle and the hidden virtue, there will be a smooth and unobstructed path.
All can communicate with one another, and what is implemented regarding hidden virtues stems from the transformation of human beings, growing in adherence to morality. Thus, by structuring these hidden virtues, for all human beings to observe, there emerges a rather beneficial effect. This concept is also incorporated into the normative framework of human thought.
There will be no transgression of errors, and human existence can proceed smoothly. Life lies in comfort and ease, without overstepping national laws or customs and traditions, nor suffering punishment. This orientation toward a peaceful life and prosperous work is necessary for all living beings in the present moment, and such principles of hidden virtue should be put into practice.
Accumulating hidden virtues can amass good fortune and blessings.
In the dissemination of morality among humanity, it is essential to establish norms for education and cultivation. This provides a framework for human beings to follow, guiding their survival and direction. To achieve more virtuous regulations, it is necessary to ensure widespread dissemination and deeply embed these principles into human consciousness.
If human beings lack moral regulation in their orientation towards survival, consider what kind of world this would become. There would be no shared moral norms for humanity to abide by, causing people to live in a state of tension with one another, and problems would proliferate. In such a world, human existence would no longer be characterized by peace and prosperity.
This approach towards humanity is not a particularly benevolent method, which is why the implementation of moral regulations becomes necessary. At the same time, it is essential to establish norms for all people to collectively abide by. Precisely because these are aimed at humanity, they form the structured framework for the benevolent governance and management of societies and nations.
It is precisely because moral norms must be faithfully practiced among all human beings in every aspect of life that a stable and prosperous way of living can be established. This approach eliminates significant obstacles and divisions, as well as the tensions and fears of daily existence. Such a way of life represents the most essential and desirable necessity for humanity.
A stable life and prosperous work require the guidance of moral principles.
Without a life of peace and contentment, there can be no comfortable living space. If only a tense and terrifying living environment exists, and human beings lack the guidance of moral norms, it will become a rather helpless way of life. For humanity, this would also be a deeply distressing existence.
Therefore, for all human beings to have stable homes and fulfilling work, as well as a comfortable life, it is essential to implement sound moral regulations. Everyone must collectively abide by the social order established through these principles, as this is truly necessary. Only by integrating stable homes, fulfilling work, and a comfortable life can we achieve genuine spiritual ease and a life nurtured by goodness.
At the same time, it is possible to establish the trinity of "body, mind, and spirit" to achieve transcendence. It is under such stable conditions that humanity can attain upward growth. Otherwise, seeking to elevate and surpass humanity while living in an environment of instability would be as futile as climbing a tree to catch fish.
Human existence seeks a life of stability and prosperity.
It is precisely because there is no genuine upward elevation or transcendence that the beings of humanity, as products of such conditions, find it comparatively difficult to achieve true growth and surpassing. There must be a function that accords with reality, and it is through this function that the moral norms for humanity can be implemented in the growth of human beings.
This is a psychological comfort more refined than national laws. Such an effect is essential for humanity to genuinely implement "morality" and to deeply root it in people's hearts through the dissemination of educational curricula. It can also significantly reduce many unnecessary costs for the state. If such conditions are achieved through religion, they will be more authentic in nature.
Furthermore, because all education and edification in religion are aimed at guiding the human heart toward goodness through the implementation of moral norms, it becomes easier for people to understand. In religion, this is based on encouraging people to do good, supplemented by the teachings of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism—three religions that particularly advocate the principle of "cause and effect."
Religion can facilitate the dissemination and transformation of morality.
What cause is sown, what effect is reaped—this is an absolute truth, and it cannot be altered in an instant. Such is the necessary way of the human world. For the religions of the Central Land—Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism—this principle is even more beneficially applied. By drawing upon the strengths of other religions to improve their own shortcomings, they achieve even greater benefits.
All religions in the world are inherently one and the same, engaging in acts of "compassion" to spread "universal love" among humanity. This is the necessity of "purity and non-action." In disseminating "morality" to humankind, it is also essential to propagate this concept to nurture the hearts and minds of all beings, thereby guiding them toward goodness and upward growth.
Faith is essential for all human beings to practice in this manner. Moreover, within this kind of "collective society," the most fundamental condition is that every individual's existence is just and equal in terms of rights, responsibilities, and obligations. By collectively implementing and adhering to the moral norms of existence, a comfortable living space can also be achieved.
All policies are enacted for the state's welfare,  
Every trade and profession finds joy in shared purpose.
All embody universal love for humanity,  
With sincere compassion, blessings draw near in affinity.
With compassion, joy, and generosity, all come together—  
Through effortless virtue, heavenly grace unfolds.
Faith in religion is essential, fostering unity, harmony, and universal love among all beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. To spread ancient moral teachings in the present day, it is essential to have educational curricula in order to guide beings in moral principles. Every religion follows this path, establishing all thoughts and concepts within the framework of morality through faith, so as to avoid creating an atmosphere of tension and fear in life.
Believing in this will surely lead to a transformation in human thought and consciousness, elevating and refining it. This is the true path, enabling the implementation of moral principles and preventing the continuous creation of negative karma in the human world. This is the universally observed function and practice of heaven and earth. Thank you all for your hard work in accompanying this endeavor, and thank you for joining in celebrating the Master’s sacred birthday on behalf of all beings.
The Celestial Venerable of the Dao Descended from the Wuji
The Celestial Venerable of the Boundless Dao Descends,  
Gathering with All Devoted and Virtuous Disciples.
In the fifteenth year of Chongxin, the hall's anniversary was celebrated, and the submission of texts was completed to propagate the true teachings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namo Dipamkara, has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. This work gathers the essence of state and society to disseminate morality, analyzing and clarifying it for humanity’s understanding, thereby guiding all living beings in their choices for survival and nourishment of life.
In this world, there are bound to be many obstacles, and people often turn to religion for solace and faith. To implement moral norms, it is essential to first establish educational and instructional programs, so that these principles can be deeply rooted in people's hearts and prevent the creation of evil deeds. This is an absolute necessity, and achieving significant growth and elevation through it is of utmost importance.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone will join us to learn and grow together! We offer the teachings of the Chongxin lineage, so that disciples may gain wholesome benefits. Regarding the official matters to be submitted tomorrow for the immortals and buddhas’ review, they must be presented truthfully! This will facilitate future propagation and promotion. Thank you all for your hard work.

Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The South Sea's barrier nurtures sentient beings;  
Ancient Buddha's compassion manifests benevolence and virtue.
The twenty-third chapter of the Great Way Xingtan:  
When virtue is practiced, true blessings arrive.
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Practice of Virtue Brings Blessings to All Beings
The practice of virtue brings blessings and benefits to all living beings.
When human beings enter this world, the necessity of life's orientation presents a condition that offers a comfortable existence of peace and prosperity. Within this state of peace and prosperity, it serves as a guiding direction for survival. Such human beings will thus take the ideal of "peace and prosperity" as their guiding principle.
Under such conditions, how can one achieve a living space where people can live and work in peace and contentment? It is essential to implement genuine management and regulation for all humanity, thereby establishing norms for survival. The most crucial foundation for this must be guided by moral principles, which stem from the essential requirements of survival.
Thus, human beings will enter a living space of peace and prosperity under such conditions. To advance this state towards an even more wholesome living environment, it must be guided by moral principles. Moreover, depending on the interplay of causes and conditions across different times and spaces, various nations and eras will converge and interact.
Establishing moral norms to guide present conduct ensures that all human beings will
Survival orientation is a necessity for growth, and when moral norms are integrated into the living space of humanity, this orientation emerges from the stability inherent in human life.
When virtue is practiced, it brings blessings to all beings.
Human beings survive under such conditions, and are thus more capable of cultivating a genuine "pure heart" for growth and transcendence. In times of temporal and spatial turmoil, there is far less opportunity for this "pure heart" to grow and elevate. One may observe that nations in today's world, when not embroiled in chaotic circumstances, tend to enjoy a more peaceful and comfortable existence.
In the pursuit of existence, human beings inevitably seek a stable and comfortable life. Such stability must be elevated to achieve transcendence. Thus, in different eras, the divine descends to the world, fostering growth through various temporal and circumstantial conditions, thereby providing humanity with a stable space for survival.
Because: The growth that arises from different times and circumstances stems precisely from a psychological drive within humanity—a desire for upward development. This very drive, within the fabric of human life, gives rise to a sense of psychological helplessness, leading humanity, even amidst comfort and security, to experience an ineffable emptiness of the soul.
Why is this the case? It leads one to ponder: what am I meant to accomplish in this lifetime? And what are the duties I ought to fulfill? Often, a profound sense of inner emptiness emerges, accompanied by an overwhelming feeling of helplessness. So, why do sentient beings experience this kind of hollow, futile sensation? Can we truly understand it? It seems exceedingly difficult to grasp.
Moral practice is essential for a comfortable existence.
It is precisely because we are so accustomed to witnessing all aspects of life in the human world—birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering—that from the depths of our hearts, a considerable sense of fear arises. This fear, acting upon the mind's capacity for discernment, manifests as a profound terror. How, then, does this lead sentient beings to rely on and practice morality?
After a period of time, a considerable destructive force is bound to arise. What causes this? This destructive force does not actually harm oneself physically; rather, it is a sense of inner terror, an inability to know what will become of oneself after this life ends and the next begins. This is a state of profound helplessness.
Having grown accustomed to witnessing the cycle of human existence—birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering—one inevitably begins to contemplate one's own future path. This sense of dread drives the way people live their lives, often enduring all manner of helpless trials and tribulations, passing through days filled with inescapable pain and hardship.
At this point, if one's life orientation remains solely focused on the nourishment of existence, one will inevitably come to believe that human ethics should be structured accordingly. Such ethics would then be aligned with the well-being and peaceful livelihood of all sentient beings, yielding considerable blessings. Yet, these blessings are confined merely to the comfort derived from a survival-oriented existence.
The Dao's virtue universally nurtures the growth of all living beings.
This pertains to a life of comfort, yet it is the reliance on moral growth that provides humanity with great peace and prosperity. This spiritual void cannot be adequately filled merely by a good existence in the human world. It is essential to understand that only through the attachment to morality, which fosters peace and prosperity for humanity, can a truly comfortable life be achieved.
Over a prolonged period, this condition leads to a state of human consciousness that is merely comfortable yet incapable of upward growth and elevation. It necessitates cultivation through religion to foster a transcendence and upward progression in humanity. This state of mind, which harbors a sense of helplessness toward existence, must be transformed.
One also becomes accustomed to all that the human world entails: the ravages of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering. It is essential to realize that the human world is by no means a permanent and secure dwelling place. Therefore, those with a greater sense of conscience and genuine ability to practice cultivation often turn inward to explore their own inner world, questioning whether they can come to understand the growth of the spiritual realm. Yet, this is not certain!
It is necessary to undergo many trials and tests before one can manifest the comfort and further growth of one's own soul. In this way, the moral norms practiced in the human world cannot provide true practitioners with the comfort and elevation they seek. Consequently, many religious sects and lineages emerge in the human realm, guiding different beings into the path of cultivation.
Those who cultivate faith will possess a sense of morality.
In light of such circumstances, and considering the individual situations and practical conditions for cultivation, distinctions are made for each person who genuinely wishes to practice. Is there a path that can elevate beyond religion? To enter into the reliance on faith, and for those who enter religious belief under such conditions, it is also distinguished as merely a form of faith.
Some individuals may wish to transform themselves, yet find themselves powerless in the mortal world! At the same time, they also aspire to elevate and transcend their future selves. To achieve this, it is essential to understand that even when entering religious faith under similar conditions, the future levels of attainment and spiritual fruition can differ significantly.
For those who follow a religion, it is merely a form of devotion; some even claim to be practitioners of religious cultivation. Yet such faith still falls far short of the true conditions for spiritual practice. Under these circumstances, everyone who enters a religion seeks to elevate and transcend themselves. But can they truly fulfill their aspirations? It is exceedingly difficult!
It is absolutely not about following one's own whims or desires on how to grow and improve. One must observe: under what conditions one entered into religious faith, and from this, one can understand their ordinary actions and behaviors. This distinguishes whether in the future they will genuinely cultivate, practice, improve, and transcend, or merely hang a title, claiming, "I am a religious believer."
Spiritual practice does not always follow one's own will.
The Chongxin lineage understands what qualities and conditions for diligent practice are required for such actions! One must comprehend the conditions for future achievements, in order to attain upward growth and transcendence. Moreover, because of this diligence, it is through religious causes and conditions that sentient beings achieve growth and elevation. Firm determination to accomplish this becomes yet another form of upward progress and transcendence.
It also distinguishes true practitioners from those who merely claim a religious affiliation in name. Through such criteria, one can clearly understand the mindset and beliefs of all human beings, as well as their ways of conduct. Gaining such clarity serves as the driving force for one's own future growth and progress.
First: This condition leads to what is merely called faith—either a genuine elevation of oneself or a cyclical return to religion in the next life through repeated reincarnation. Such a concept already exists within religious and moral frameworks, yet it often falls into the pattern of "easier said than done," failing to ascend to a higher level of self-improvement. The diligence exerted in this lifetime thus becomes something dispensable.
One can also understand that in the human world, everything is fulfilled for the sake of currency, with many reasons and causes behind it. This is precisely why among sentient beings, there are many who practice cultivation but few who attain achievement. Thus, they turn to religious faith, and in this lifetime, they will not commit evil deeds. However, for those who truly wish to follow a path of practice, they still have a long way to go.
Religious beliefs should be integrated with the nourishment of life.
This question pertains to the human world: why do so many people wish to enter religion and embrace faith, seeking closeness to immortals, Buddhas, and deities? When faced with problems in life, they can turn to these divine beings for prayers, which in turn brings a genuine sense of reassurance to their hearts.
In times of peace and prosperity, humanity often seeks a sense of psychological grounding through religious faith and prayer. However, the conditions under which individuals engage in religious practice vary greatly. It cannot be said that everyone is capable of ascending and growing spiritually. What, then, are the reasons for this?
It all depends on one's own perspectives and values to determine which is more important. In truth, from the viewpoint of immortals and buddhas, the "survival orientation" of human beings is relatively more significant. However, to achieve genuine elevation, it is not merely about adhering to the standards of "moral practice." Otherwise, such human beings would become dependent on the protection of immortals, buddhas, and deities.
Religious beliefs give rise to diverse senses of value.
Second: For human beings, in this pursuit of psychological stability, distinguishing the progress and growth in spiritual practice from that in livelihood maintenance merely reflects a difference in values. It also involves discerning how all faith-based devotions of humanity can foster personal growth and positive improvement.
It is also within such conditions that we distinguish between all worldly pursuits and religious beliefs, and the differences for genuine practitioners. Furthermore, by examining how these two aspects influence future blessings and wisdom, we can differentiate the levels, realms, and stages of learning and growth. Only through such discernment can one transcend toward the return to wholeness and perfection, which also requires great effort to achieve.
It is precisely necessary to be so, for through such diligent discernment, different causes and conditions ultimately arise, leading to seeds for ascendant transcendence or rebirth in the next cycle. From the perspective of entering religious faith and devotion, this approach also makes it less likely to overstep moral norms in practice, thereby allowing for the construction of all virtuous thoughts and concepts.
When virtue is practiced, all beings benefit.
Therefore, the education and cultivation inherent in religion must be grounded in a clear understanding of both "adverse karmic retribution" and "favorable karmic reward." It is by addressing these two aspects of causality that all moral practices can truly benefit sentient beings, which constitutes the correct path.
Due to these conditions, it is necessary to implement moral regulations and guidelines for humanity. This approach helps to understand human beings, and among those who embrace the concept of moral regulation, religious individuals tend to be the majority. Such regulation is essential for the human world to be genuinely implemented.
Can there be a distinction in the world between diligence and its absence? The role of differing values lies precisely in changing how human beings relate to the religions they believe in, distinguishing between the seeds of transcendence and those of continued reincarnation. By understanding this in the present moment, one can see that the future is merely a matter of whether one desires growth and elevation or remains confined to religious belief. This is often how human beings are.
A rare seed of human morality,  
All things are for the use of mankind.
Entering religion to receive edification, one constructs the foundation for a life blessed with virtue and fortune.
Cultivation, if consistent, can transcend;  
Value systems are difficult to distinguish.
If one can only come to believe, the cycle of rebirth in the next life will be hard to escape.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. As for how it should be practiced by all religious believers in the human world, or whether it merely serves as a seed cause for rebirth in the next cycle of reincarnation, it distinguishes itself through diligent growth and elevation. This differs from the efforts of ordinary religious faiths, as all virtuous and favorable conditions for growth in the human world are ultimately shaped by one's own discernment and effort.
The Celestial Venerable of the Boundless Good Path
The Wuji descends upon Chongxin Hall,  
The virtuous path of karma is not the same.
The Celestial Venerable gathers with divine beings and sages,  
Spreading and expanding virtue's grace far and wide.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the presiding immortal Buddha—Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea—has descended to compose the twenty-third installment of the Great Dao Xingtan. This work conveys the moral principles that benefit humanity and bring blessings, imparting them into the celestial texts. It also addresses the distinctions in levels and realms among those who enter religious faith.
It is precisely because there is a distinction between the truly diligent practitioner and the one who merely claims faith in name that different future levels, attainments, and states of realization arise. One can clearly discern whether one’s inner qualities align with and actualize one’s values, or whether one merely professes faith and takes refuge. Such is the nature of the human world!

Ancient Buddha, Daoji of Nanping
Nanping's unified path ferries all beings,  
Daoji's compassion manifests virtuous deeds.
The Ancient Buddha descended to compose twenty-four chapters, establishing regulations and governance to cultivate virtue.
Chapter Twenty-Four: Regulatory Governance and Moral Alignment
Management Regulations and Moral Adherence
Sentient beings in the human world possess an orientation toward survival, and in daily life, they inevitably enter into systems of management and regulation. This condition necessitates that all human beings faithfully adhere to these systems of management and regulation, as such compliance is essential for functioning authentically within human society.
It is also within such frameworks that it becomes essential to apply moral norms to all ethnic groups residing within the nation or across different regions. These norms must be implemented in accordance with the principles of human ethics and morality; only then can they serve as a standard for practice. Otherwise, it would be difficult to provide a sense of belonging or guidance for all human beings dwelling there.
It is essential for everyone to abide by and implement the regulations collectively, so as to genuinely achieve a state of mental ease within a life of stability and contentment. Only by adhering to such foundational conditions over the long term, and following the regulatory systems established for all human beings, can we walk the right path and secure a favorable living environment.
It is a set of principles collectively observed, applicable to all inhabitants.
For various types of beings, there must be a certain degree of evolution and elevation; otherwise, if one merely relies on the implementation of management regulations without incorporating moral adherence to these rules, the attainment of true "inner peace and comfort" will be significantly diminished.
Management Regulation and Moral Adherence
Because in the human world, there exists a moral framework that serves as a guiding principle for all living beings. To evolve beyond mere survival and expand our living space, it is essential to genuinely nurture the growth of the human spirit. This requires the influence of a sufficiently advanced civilization to cultivate a more benevolent and elevated state of mind among humanity.
To address the deficiencies and shortcomings of humanity, enhancing the evolution of "mind, spirit, and body" requires establishing a foundation of moral conditions. It is essential to have a suitable living environment to prevent inner panic and avoid any adverse effects. For the comfortable life of humanity, this will foster a spiritual elevation and construction.
During a period of comfortable living and enduring peace, a rather elusive "sense of emptiness" inevitably emerges. Why does this occur? This is a state that every sentient being experiences to some extent—a manifestation of mental tranquility that arises as a "static effect" after a period of considerable busyness.
To understand the manifestation of this kind of mental ease, one must recognize the prominence of an "empty state of mind," an experience that everyone has had at some point. Yet, this state does not allow the true spiritual nature to be revealed in the present moment. Why do humans develop such attachments in their growth? And what would happen if these attachments were formed under immoral circumstances?
Only when morality is upheld and practiced can there be survival and comfort.
This is a presentation of flawed human nature, reflecting the tendencies in daily life. In this world, there exist many malignant and harmful inherent qualities that serve as the foundation upon which human society relies. These qualities also shape all the flawed aspects of daily life. It is essential to remain truthful and unchanged, working toward the elimination of these flawed "inherent qualities."
Simultaneously, in terms of moral dependence and rectifying the improper reliance on the "inherent nature" of all human beings, it is essential to establish management regulations for communal living in the human world. This will create numerous conditions conducive to peaceful governance. Moreover, rules, systems, codes, and norms shall serve as the foundation for human existence. Such frameworks in the human world are followed based on the orientation of survival.
There are many punishments that humans should not transgress against the regulations, yet human beings often rely on survival dependencies, adding to the sustenance of life, thereby manifesting undesirable tendencies in their actions. This is because humans, in their dependence on life for survival, often negate all regulatory systems, undermining the necessity of guidelines for life orientation.
Humanity was originally meant to adhere sincerely to moral regulations, thereby observing all governing rules and principles. This is indeed necessary, for when misguided tendencies of existence lead people to disregard these, even the pursuit of a comfortable living space can end up corrupting one's own noble "spirit."
Regulatory management must be grounded in morality for a sound existence.
This living space for human beings inevitably impacts the growth of virtuous natures, and instead becomes a source of negative human qualities that accumulate. This leads to violations and transgressions of governance regulations, implanting harmful traits into human society. Consequently, humanity is hindered from advancing and evolving in civilization.
It merely provides comfort in the physical realm of life, fundamentally incapable of fostering purification and growth in "spirit and body." This creates an obstacle that hinders progress—namely, setting a poor example. From the perspective of the Divine, it originally should have elevated all humanity, ensuring well-being in "mind, spirit, and body."
There should be a more robust foundation for survival, and this principle should also be reflected in the manifestation of civilization and technology. However, things do not always proceed as originally intended. If the framework established by Heaven is to be approached from the perspective of human survival, such conditions are centered on the well-being of all humanity, and in this, the benevolent grace of Heaven is made evident.
It is not only about human survival oriented towards comfort; it is also necessary to elevate the purification of "mind and spirituality" to bring about beneficial effects. The purification and elevation of these three aspects in human daily life will enable the celestial deities and Buddhas of the heavens to bestow greater grace, fostering humanity's transition from a comfortable living environment into "spiritual purification" for further elevation.
Bad behavior creates a vicious cycle.
If it is difficult to bring any comfort to the physical body, and considering that people today are solely burdened by the pursuit of wealth, the innate goodness of the heart is thus buried. Many actions that should not be taken are introduced into the world, leading to a cycle of all kinds of negative consequences. Such a situation makes it very difficult for humanity to grow and progress.
This would result in a framework devoid of moral grounding, merely relying on universal currency as a means of fulfillment. Yet it is often overlooked that each being's karmic legacy from past lives, combined with all actions in the present life, precisely determines the extent of future accumulation of currency. Thus, there is no need to exhaust oneself in pursuit of schemes aimed solely at amassing currency.
Such beings lack moral grounding, so how could they possess the fortune manifested through material abundance? Instead, they commit even greater transgressions. Such actions become the seeds of cause for rebirth in the next cycle of reincarnation. Humanity must genuinely adhere to moral principles—why is it that people clearly know this, yet act contrary to it?
Money runs on four legs, but a man on two cannot catch up.
Even if one commits every evil deed in the human world, can they still hope for blessings in the next life? Certainly not! This is the very obliteration of civilization by civilization itself—a sorrowful limitation where humanity, confined to mere survival, forsakes its inherent goodness. Under such conditions, human existence is reduced to mere subsistence, betraying the very essence of its benevolent nature.
To whom is this sold? It is sold to nothing but the possession of universal currency. Yet, how can such possession be sustained in the long run? It is far too difficult! As the old saying goes: humans have two feet, while money has four; even in pursuit, one may not catch it. For sentient beings in their daily lives, is it truly so easy to achieve warmth and fullness?
Indeed! Each individual is endowed with different means of survival, so why exhaust oneself in unscrupulous pursuits to amass vast amounts of universal currency? In this world, securing basic sustenance can be achieved through diligent effort alone. While it is undeniably true that a certain amount of universal currency is necessary for life, why go to such lengths and schemes merely to accumulate wealth?
The morality of technological civilization is a necessity.
Can we ever possess lasting abundance? It is far too difficult! That which comes easily also departs easily, vanishing in an instant without a trace. When moral governance is implemented, humanity remains unaware that currency need only suffice for practical use. Why then exhaust all efforts to grasp at this four-legged, ever-fleeing wealth?
If money does not wish to stay in your home, there will often be opportunities for it to slip away. So why go to such lengths in this world? It truly is not worth it. As the ancients said: "In fair weather, store grain for rainy days." While saving and accumulating are indeed necessary, there is no need to exhaust all one's schemes in pursuit of this currency that is prone to vanish.
If one accumulates more hidden virtue, wealth will obediently remain at home and not easily slip away; it will also accumulate in abundance. In this world, it is through the accumulation of hidden virtue (yin zhi) that wealth is sustained. Even if one tries to push wealth away, it will stubbornly stay. Only with the accumulation of hidden virtue can wealth be fully attained. Do you all agree? Is this not so?
Regulation finds its anchor in governance,  
While virtue follows as its faithful guide.
Technology and civilization create eternity;  
Purification of body, mind, and spirit is achieved through virtue.
Many hidden virtues can amass wealth,  
Goods with sentiment are cherished by all.
One must understand that with two feet of a man, even four corners of wealth are hard to chase.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement, that the reliance on virtue is truly righteous only when it functions through the accumulation of currency. Alas! Your teacher has returned once more. What do you all desire? Currency and wisdom—bring forth the greater portion of the offerings for blessings! Is this all? Let us also add more "Mani" for everyone.
Oh! Is that all? Your capacity of mind is merely this, far too limited. Prepare more in the future! Then, accumulate a bit more hidden virtue! Only then will you possess the fullness of true currency, and with a bit more hidden virtue, you will have currency.

The Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji descends,  
Fostering growth, elevating, and increasing hidden virtues.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. It analyzes the principles of moral adherence within the framework of management regulations, pointing out that all that is cherished in the human world—namely, currency—must be supported by abundant hidden virtues to be truly fulfilled.
It is essential to understand that this is absolutely true: to attain complete and virtuous blessings in the human world, one must lead a life of peace and comfort. Everyone should recognize the profound care and painstaking efforts of the immortal and Buddha teachers, who repeatedly offer earnest advice and consistently remind us that such hidden virtues must be fully cultivated. In the future, this will surely bring about excellent blessings and reliable support. Let us all strive diligently toward this end!

Homage to the celestial descent from the void,  
The ancient Buddha’s accord with the virtuous of heaven and earth.
The twenty-fifth chapter of the Great Way Xingtan:  
Morality and ethics form the foundation of life.
Chapter 25: Morality and Ethics—The Guiding Principles of Life
All moral and ethical principles serve as the guiding standards for human life.
Sentient beings inherently possess the necessity of survival orientation within the human world. Observing from the perspective of human existence, there inevitably exists a state of mutual interdependence and restraint. Such interdependence and restraint are essential for communal living in human society. Moreover, it is within this necessity that the regulation of "morality" can be established as a foundation, thereby creating a stable and harmonious living environment.
This form of morality is implemented through ethics, which are inherently attached to the human world. Only within the context of human society can ethical principles serve as guidelines for behavior, and they must be practiced within this realm. Without moral and ethical standards, humanity would descend into widespread acts of slaughter.
Upon becoming human beings, they lose the ease of existence and must come to understand why morality and ethics are essential for humanity. It is necessary to analyze in detail what constitutes the norms of morality and ethics. Thus, morality involves integrating virtuous and benevolent customs and behaviors into human practice.
It also indicates that the "Dao" is intended for all sentient beings, providing a smooth path for practice.
In the highest sense, it is guided by the Dao, which establishes virtuous regulations to govern all principles of human existence. Only through the necessary order of "Dao and De" can a harmonious space for living be secured in the human world.
Survival and comfort necessitate moral regulation.
This concept holds that: the Dao serves as order, and virtue as goodness and beauty. Therefore, if there is no morality in the human world, it becomes difficult to implement management and regulations. Moreover, it is essential to have smooth paths in the world to avoid ruggedness and turbulence. This is implemented with regard to "Dao and virtue." Can we understand why moral regulations are necessary in human society?
It pertains to the conduct within human society, and why it is necessary for humanity to practice ethics. This is because human beings can pass on their legacy to future generations, which relies on survival and continuity. Within the order of seniority and youth, it is essential to understand that the descendants of elders are precisely the ones who carry forward the legacy in the human world.
Thus, from one generation to the next and from one era to another, a tradition is formed: the ancestors at the highest level must pass down their legacy to the next generation—first to grandparents and parents, and then to children. This, in turn, shapes the survival orientation for descendants. Such intergenerational transmission gives rise to various distinct designations.
It also forms a kind of kinship in the human world, which can be described as follows: among one's own relatives, there is a distinction between direct and collateral lines. In the human world, it is upheld that direct relatives must not have marital relationships with each other, and similarly, within collateral relatives, marital unions should also be avoided.
Ethical implementation relies on moral regulation.
However, through the actions of different surnames, they can be united into marital relationships, and such kinship ties are permissible for marriage. It is precisely through the union of different surnames that the next generation is passed down. This is essential for the survival and orientation of human beings. This also serves to distinguish the established rituals of marriage in terms of "ethics and morality."
In the human world, there exists a principle: the order between elders and juniors, distinguished by their roles, must serve a fundamental function in society. This practice, implemented through the system of seniority and juniority, also establishes a comprehensive classification of kinship. By distinguishing lineages inherited from ancestors within human society, it inevitably shapes the descendants of future generations.
When there is a lineage of great-grandfathers, great-great-grandfathers, grandfathers, parents, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren passing down through generations, a complete system of human relationships emerges. It is this system that gives morality and ethics their fundamental role among humanity. It also establishes human beings as more noble and spiritually advanced compared to all other living creatures.
This is precisely why, within the realm of ethics and morality, the implementation of the human relations system is perfected. It is through this inheritance of fundamental human principles that a complete social and political order is established. It is precisely because of the existence of humanity that such ethical regulations are necessary. Only by incorporating the practice of both "Dao and virtue" can a good and beautiful living space be achieved.
Implementing moral and ethical principles as the guiding standard for existence.
If human beings lack moral ethics, how are they any different from beasts? This is precisely why humanity, as the most intelligent of all creatures, must establish the necessity of moral adherence by following ethical principles and norms. Such mutual observance is essential in the human world—a unique characteristic of humankind, established through the ancestral system.
It is precisely due to the survival orientation of humanity that an order of seniority and precedence is established. Within this order, the nurturing, education, and transmission of culture are fostered. To create a wholesome and harmonious living environment for all people, moral and ethical principles are implemented as the foundation. Moreover, such codes of conduct must be upheld and passed down through reliance on this very order.
In the pursuit of survival, humanity adheres to ethical norms and moral principles, striving to reform detrimental customs and habits. In fact, many of the calamities that befall humankind can be mitigated through human intervention. Without the guidance of moral and ethical frameworks in this world, what kind of living environment would we be left with?
Without the implementation of regulatory systems, how would humanity differ from beasts! It is precisely because we, as the most intelligent of all beings, establish common standards for human life that transgressions are met with punishment. Therefore, within moral regulations, it is essential to incorporate ethical norms in practice, so that goodness may prevail and benefit all.
Survival must not be transgressed by negative example.
Only then can there be a good and beautiful living space for humanity. This is why it is essential for all human beings to have such a space, one that does not foster harmful examples of violence. Therefore, the ethical and moral framework established for implementation is based on the principle of enabling people to live and work in peace and contentment.
In the human world, we must not act like beasts that prey upon one another. This necessitates the establishment of rules and governance. Implementing such standards requires that they be universally adhered to, serving as a foundation for the wholesome survival and development of all humanity. This is the true path.
This phenomenon arises from both the necessity of reality and the inherent comfort of a stable life. Human beings inherently seek ease in their daily living, which is a prerequisite for aspiring to a secure and comfortable existence. Throughout the tumultuous periods of every dynasty in history, it has been exceedingly difficult for humanity to attain a tranquil and comfortable living environment.
Ancient moral philosophy establishes the guiding principles for human existence.
This will give rise to a necessary orientation toward life for all human beings. In addition to the calamities and disasters caused by human turmoil and upheaval, as well as the catastrophes of heaven and earth, there is also the constant devastation wrought by earth, water, fire, and wind, which is utterly unavoidable. In the face of such natural disasters, humanity finds it difficult to achieve greater peace and comfort amidst all these afflictions.
However, why is it possible to minimize the damage caused by human-made disasters? Most human beings deeply resent the addition of such calamities, as they rely on moral and ethical principles. This reliance can significantly reduce the turmoil caused by human-made disasters and lessen the fear they generate. It is believed that the majority of people share this sentiment.
This is the pursuit of humanity: under the premise of seeking a stable and prosperous life, people inevitably strive to change all harmful turmoil and human-made calamities. Driven by the aspiration for a comfortable existence, the implementation of "moral governance" within the framework of ethics will inevitably eliminate such detrimental disturbances.
Why do humans practice morality and ethics?
It is also within human capability to alter behaviors and actions, driven by the pursuit of benefits. Through the endeavors of humanity, essential needs can be sought, thereby adding much welfare to the human world. It is through such human efforts that opportunities and causal conditions can be transformed, and this is practiced as a form of moral and ethical conduct.
Only then can we have a better and more virtuous living space. Thus, every being in this world is the same—each seeks a life of peace and prosperity, a space where they can settle and thrive. Only in this way can we avoid living like other species, who must remain in a constant state of vigilance and anxiety, never knowing whether today will be followed by tomorrow.
This will lead to diverse lifestyles among human beings and all living things, which is precisely why humanity must establish moral and ethical norms. Within the framework of these fundamental principles of human existence, it is essential to have a structured system of moral regulations. Only by adhering to such a system can people achieve peaceful living and prosperous work in the world, thereby creating a favorable and comfortable space for survival.
The orientation of an extraordinary life is distinct from that of ordinary humans and all things.
Governance is carried out with morality and ethics,  
So that people live and work in peace and comfort.
All living beings lack virtue and morality, leaving them with no principles to follow.
Because life is often tense, the future is obscure and unpredictable.
This is the way of the world: the existence of all living beings, which takes the place of humanity and all creatures in their living spaces, is indeed different. It is through such causes and conditions that life persists, and it is by the orderly rules of seniority and juniority that ancestors pass down prosperity and well-being to future generations. This is the righteous path, and it is what everyone hopes for.

Twenty-five chapters composed at the Apricot Altar,  
Where morality and ethics are truly intertwined.
Good evening to all the sages, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Principal Master of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Human Heaven in the Namo Void, also known as the Void Sage, has descended to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of the Great Tao Xingtan. This chapter will analyze the moral and ethical standards that serve as humanity's guiding principles, making them clear to all, so that we may recognize the necessity of adhering to them together.
This principle, when applied to the orientation of human existence, prioritizes the comfort and well-being of humanity as the most intelligent species. It underscores the necessity of practicing morality and ethics; otherwise, human beings would resemble mere beasts, and how could there be a comfortable living space for them? It can be said that the four elements—earth, water, fire, and wind—would then form numerous forces destructive to humanity.
If further compounded by the turmoil of human-made disasters, how can there be a comfortable living space? A moment’s reflection makes it clear: the practicality of morality and ethics lies precisely in enabling every human being to grow upward in goodness rather than sink downward. This is essential for a comfortable existence and paves the way for a future return to transcendence.

Namo, all beings are Tathagata,  
The enlightened mind shines bright, truly free.
The Buddha inscribed the Book of the Apricot Altar;  
Ancient ethics must indeed be upheld.
Chapter 26: The Great Way in the Apricot Altar — Ancient Ethics
The Ancient Ethics of the Great Way and the Apricot Altar
When human beings enter the world, they inherently seek survival and dependence, while also pursuing a comfortable life for themselves. In daily existence, they inevitably engage in actions oriented toward survival necessities. It is essential to understand that humans are social creatures, and it is through communal living that they can achieve greater comfort and stability.
Without deviating from the convenience, comfort, and accessibility oriented toward survival, this human world of existence serves as a communal environment for humanity, yet it also presents relative limitations and obstacles. How, then, can the discomforts of daily life be eliminated? Human society must proceed step by step, managing each and every profession accordingly.
Human beings inherently possess a sense of interdependence in their daily lives. This interdependence arises from the most fundamental human actions, primarily driven by the need for food and warmth. It also stems from the necessities of life, which are woven into the fabric of interconnected affairs. Thus, such interdependence becomes essential for the functioning of human society.
What kind of causes and conditions lead to such actions and behaviors? As recorded in the ancient texts,
The introduction of Neo-Confucianism into the human world, guided by the natural inclinations of human life, fosters a mutual interdependence within communal societies. It establishes the necessity of order between the young and the old, as well as the importance of rituals and etiquette, thereby forming the guiding principles for human conduct.
Ancient ethics is the ultimate anchor for all of humanity.
It is precisely due to this communal society that such necessary actions for every individual are fostered. What kind of actions are these? They provide a foundation for the practice of human "ethics," and "ethics and morality" mutually assist all human beings in guiding their life orientations.
Moreover, the norms derived from ethics, along with the numerous rituals and etiquettes they entail, are integrated into human life. This integration forms the basis for all interpersonal interactions, necessitating the practice of mutual rituals and etiquettes. It is through this that humanity avoids losing these essential practices, as the absence of rituals and etiquettes would leave others with an unfavorable impression.
It can also cause many adversities for human beings. The etiquette and manners of humanity must be practiced in action, both for oneself and others, in order to collectively foster the implementation of etiquette and manners. Only then can a fine tradition be established. It is not merely that in the human world, everything can be approached in a straightforward manner.
If this is the case! There would be no etiquette or decorum in the exercise of such functions, and the human world would often descend into disorder. Why, then, should such etiquette and decorum exist? It is because, in the execution of any matter, one can observe that every action performed can embody a correspondingly orderly and proper conduct.
Etiquette and decorum serve as the exemplars of human relationships.
This ritual is akin to that of any organizational unit or nation; it is even observed with due ceremony by every religion. It thus allows the outside world to perceive the training and cultivation within this unit, group, lineage, or nation. Through the rituals and etiquette of human society, one can gain a clear understanding at a glance.
Because such ceremonial conduct is necessary in this context, it becomes immediately apparent what level of spiritual attainment the presiding figure possesses! Furthermore, what exactly do the rituals and etiquettes require? It is just as with the Chongxin lineage at present—through the recent birthday celebration rituals for the immortal Buddhas and teachers, one can fully understand how all rituals and etiquettes should be conducted.
If observed from the perspective of the immortal and buddha teachers in their elevated positions, one can understand why the requirements set by the immortals and buddhas in ancient times were so rigorous in terms of conduct and rituals. It is precisely this strict adherence to etiquette and ceremonial practices that has enabled the Chongxin Sect to develop a system of rituals and protocols that can be compared with those of other religions, and even surpass those of other religious traditions, temples, or sacred halls.
This is a form of ethical regulation, demanded within human society; precisely because it is necessary in this way, a system of rituals and etiquette can be established. Through the strict guidance of immortal and enlightened teachers, it reaches a state where all applicable ceremonial rules can be properly exercised, thereby giving rise to human ethical regulations that facilitate the practice of all rituals and courtesies.
Immortals and Buddhas strictly require adherence to ritual norms.
It is precisely this rigor that is necessary for future demonstrations, and for other rituals and etiquettes, it should be implemented within the framework of ethical regulations. This conduct can be understood as a rigorous requirement for the True Buddha Heart School, aimed at achieving further elevation to a higher level, thereby gaining affirmation for oneself and the external world.
Regarding the standards for all rituals, why can they be made even more rigorous? If the aim is merely to perform rituals within the Taiwan region, there would be no need to demand stricter etiquette and protocols. However, if the goal is to promote these practices across the entire world, it is essential to establish a more standardized set of "international ceremonial norms." Only in this way can we "establish the model of the Apricot Altar" and set a benchmark.
To implement it with rituals and etiquette, why is this necessary? It is precisely because establishing the norms of the Xingtan (Apricot Altar) serves as the primary model and standard. Only after having sufficiently rigorous rituals and etiquette can it be demonstrated that the first level of the Xingtan norms has been established. To understand and implement ethical norms is to follow the same ceremonial rules of ritual propriety.
It is necessary to further strengthen the practice of establishing the "standards of the Apricot Altar." If the aim is only within Taiwan, such measures may not be required; however, if the aspiration is to propagate the teachings more broadly on an international scale, then more rigorous practices must be adopted. Only through stricter standards can a religious tradition be more effectively promoted and expanded.
The Ethical Framework of Ancient Moral Philosophy
It is also within the etiquette and manners of each student that one can discern their level and realm—this goes without saying. Simply by observing, it becomes immediately clear. In the etiquette and manners displayed by every student, which adhere to all the regulations of the True Buddha Heart School's rituals and protocols, one sees the result of routine training and demands—precisely as it should be.
This kind of etiquette and ritual, when practiced, can be evaluated and graded. It reveals one's level and realm in the human world, allowing one to understand the usual expectations. In the practice of human ethics and morality, those who begin with the first level of etiquette and ritual have already grasped more than half of it.
Consider, what is the demonstration to all sentient beings? It is essential to understand the nature of the first impression. This initial impression, deeply imprinted in the mind, gives rise to either a favorable or unfavorable first impression, shaping people’s perceptions of good or bad, often originating from this very moment.
It is precisely to distinguish which level and realm of sentient beings will be guided in the future, gathering them within the lineage of the True Buddha Heart School, to collectively carry out the sacred duties of the Great Way and propagate its teachings. Under such conditions, the rituals and etiquette performed by everyone serve as a primary impression to others, from which understanding can be gained.
The first impression for spreading and promoting the Dharma should be one of orderly conduct.
I believe everyone wishes to present their best self. To do so, prior training is essential: the practice of etiquette and courteous conduct. Only through such preparation can one possess the proper and genuine manners and courtesy before wishing to express them. This, I trust, is our shared aspiration.
Moreover, the celestial beings and immortal teachers have consistently emphasized stringent requirements. What does this kind of clearly observable conduct entail? It allows us to understand the training demanded by the immortal teachers, which cultivates a remarkably refined and orderly etiquette and propriety. Through daily practice, one can discern the inherent quality and character of a lineage that aspires to propagate teachings throughout the world.
Under such conditions, the qualifications required for carrying out all worldly rituals and ceremonies become clear. This is precisely because, in the human world, it is necessary to impose the observance of the rituals of the Great Dao lineage in this manner, so as not to leave an unfavorable impression on others.
It is believed that by establishing the rituals and the conduct of etiquette, one can understand the state and level of a lineage. Moreover, this understanding is already clear before the establishment. By further implementing these rituals and etiquette, one can discern the conditions of this lineage: what are its qualifications, what is its state, and what is its level?
The ancient rites of ethics practiced at the Apricot Altar of the Great Way.
Conversely, it is also through the eyes of others that one's conduct is evaluated. Such norms governing all human behavior must be judged truthfully by others, which precisely provides favorable conditions for proper conduct. This is an essential requirement for an international lineage: to establish the standards of the Apricot Altar, and to implement ethical regulations through the etiquette and rituals observed by all.
How are all the codes of conduct in the human world established? It is because an international lineage promotes them, targeting the four billion future disciples of the Buddha, as well as gathering over two million first-batch high-tech talents. There must be authentic standards of conduct in the human world, and there must be genuine implementation of etiquette and propriety.
Before establishing rituals and etiquette, it is essential to anticipate all future challenges and evaluate them from the present perspective, while also considering the level of spiritual cultivation required. Under such conditions, it is believed that everyone desires to present the finest norms of etiquette to the outside world, which necessitates a rigorous training approach.
In the future, there will be a distinction between those who can be guided across and those who cannot, specifically regarding the necessity of propagating the True Buddha Heart School. For those who must be guided back, these virtuous connections necessitate that, in the previously established ceremonial norms and practices, more rigorous training be reinforced. What then should follow thereafter?
True Buddha Heart Lineage International Etiquette and Protocol
It is by adhering to this code of conduct in practice that we can avoid future demands for more rigorous training, which might otherwise lead to unwilling complaints. This is precisely why we have established the norms of the Apricot Altar, and also why, after the 30 volumes of the Great Dao series, the work "Great Dao Apricot Altar" was composed—such is its original intent.
I believe that in the future, everyone wishes to present the finest first impression of the True Buddha Heart School—namely, the implementation of its rituals and regulations—before all sentient beings. Are you all willing to do so? (Answer: Yes.) With your unwavering faith, there is no doubt that the True Buddha Heart School will flourish across the world. Thank you all for your support and dedication.
This is the collective effort of all, united in purpose, which necessitates first observing how others manage to propagate an international religious lineage. Thereby, we can learn from past experiences as references. With everyone holding such steadfast determination and vision, it is certain that in the coming years, we will genuinely promote and expand, accurately aiming for elevation and transcendence, enabling a return to fulfillment and the perfection of surpassing.
The foundation of ancient ethics lies in the clarity of rituals and regulations.
When training actions are carried out truthfully,  
good and virtuous regulations are thus established.
The True Buddha Heart Sect comes to propagate,  
The Great Dao series is promoted and spread.
The teachings of the Apricot Altar spread far and wide without bounds,  
Transmitted truthfully for thousands upon thousands of years.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement, and it applies to all religions as well. They all arise from "generating existence from nothingness, and within existence, they can be propagated." Moreover, the True Buddha Heart School possesses considerable resources and a vast system of immortal and buddha teachers to support its propagation. What do you all think? Shall we proceed? Let us strive diligently!
Celestial Worthy of Limitless Wealth
All wealth from the Wuji must be cherished with care,  
As the Celestial Venerable ascends the stage to gather the wise.
All should unite in heart to promote and uphold,  
Spreading across the world is truly a noble goal.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Buddha of the Southern Wuli Heart of Bright Light from our lineage has descended to compose the twenty-sixth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. This chapter analyzes the ancient ethics of the Great Dao Xingtan, aiming to bring greater fulfillment to all sentient beings through the principles of etiquette and propriety.
To understand what qualifications and aptitudes are required for a particular lineage? And to discern what level and realm one is at through practice? The responsibility is thus assigned: President Chen, along with three vice presidents, will jointly oversee the training of current rituals and etiquette. This training can be further strengthened and made more rigorous, with a focus on preparing for the "internationalization" of rituals and etiquette in the future.
In this way, it will be easier to guide the four billion Buddhist disciples, as well as the over two million first-batch high-tech talents, across to liberation. With diligent effort, one may in this very lifetime elevate from the Bodhisattva realm to attain the perfect vehicle of the Buddha-land. Do you all understand? Our reputation is gradually spreading—let us grow and strive together!

The Vast Cosmos, the Star Lord of Golden Virtue
Across the vast cosmos, myriad star systems align,  
As the Golden Virtue Star Lord descends in divine sign.
The twenty-seventh chapter of the Great Way Xingtan: The order of human relations and the regulations of seniority and youth.
Chapter 27: The Regulation of Human Relations, with Order Between Elders and Juniors
The principles of human relationships are regulated by codes, and there is an order between the elder and the younger.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they inevitably adopt a certain orientation toward survival. This gives rise to a dynamic of mutual interaction in human life, where an orderly distinction between elders and juniors becomes essential. Only through such order can the human world manifest and sustain itself according to the ethical norms that govern it. These conditions of causation are indispensable.
It is also essential to achieve mutual respect and courtesy through human education and cultivation. Within the framework of rituals and regulations, this must be constructed within each nation, group, and organization. Such a structure requires the implementation of family ethics to connect the entire system of human relations, thereby benefiting all sentient beings with affection.
Thus arises the necessity of honoring rituals, which must be comprehensively implemented to enable mutual conduct within the human world. This is essential within the framework of etiquette and propriety. Consequently, the rituals of "human ethical norms" in the human realm are carried out through the ceremonial practices of humanity, giving rise to diverse rituals and codes of conduct.
Whether it be a nation, a religious lineage, an organization, or even as small as a single
The same principle applies to the family: it must be guided by the ethics of seniority and juniority, and the respect for ritual must be established.
Essential rituals, in the course of human existence, the principles of ethics and morality that guide human conduct are precisely what must be upheld in this manner.
The necessity of hierarchical order in human relationships and social regulations.
Furthermore, because human relations are governed by hierarchical order, it is essential for the leaders of a nation—be they monarchs, presidents, rulers, chiefs, or others—to exercise their authority in this manner, as it is necessary for ensuring the safety and protection of all citizens.
Furthermore, a leader of a religion, organization, or institution bears the structural responsibility for the rise and fall of all religious and collective entities. Among humanity, it is essential to follow the prescribed rituals and etiquettes in all practices. Otherwise, if everyone behaves like casual friends, there would be no such thing as the proper order between elders and juniors.
In such circumstances, there are no rites or etiquette to be observed. This is true for the person in charge themselves, but from an external perspective, it appears lacking in the proper order between elders and juniors, as well as in the observance of rites and etiquette. This effect, when applied to humanity, would cause people to become like scattered sand, with no regulations of propriety to guide them.
Therefore, it is impossible to achieve great prosperity. Why is this so? While it may be an act of compassion toward the leader, it does not set a good example. This results in a situation where all members are integrated in a manner that necessitates proper order between elders and juniors, as well as the practice of rituals and etiquette, which is the correct path.
The ethical norms of human relationships dictate that there must be order between the elder and the younger.
In such circumstances, it becomes impossible to achieve coherent mutual fulfillment, and when issues arise, no one bears full responsibility. This inevitably leads to humanity living amidst obstacles in life. For a nation, religion, organization, or institution, such conditions prevent the implementation of sound systems.
It is essential for a leader to be approachable, yet it is equally necessary to uphold the principles of human relations and order. Without these, everyone may become overly familiar and mingle indiscriminately. Such behavior can create significant obstacles when the leader issues commands, leaving them with little recourse but to feel helpless.
It also allows a country, religion, group, or institution to operate without any regulations, much like a family. If there are no proper ethical norms among the elders, many adverse reactions will arise, making it difficult for a family to achieve true harmony, comfort, and order.
It merely depends on the feelings of one's own family, lacking proper regulations for implementation. As the ancient saying goes, "Spoiling a child leads to unfilial behavior; pampering a pig causes it to overturn the stove." This illustrates that for human survival, it is essential to have a well-ordered hierarchy between elders and juniors, as well as respect for rituals and propriety. Only then can proper regulations be established and implemented, ensuring that all commands and decrees are followed.
Respect for seniority is the ethical foundation of family life.
This is necessary precisely because, in the human world, every nation, religion, community, organization, and even down to the smallest family unit operates this way. Without it, they would be like scattered sand, entangled in chaos. It is essential to have compassion and benevolence, as well as a hierarchical order that respects seniority and youth, in order to establish a sound ethical framework.
To remedy all faults and deficiencies, it lies in the establishment of ethical norms, which must be implemented through sound human relations systems. Within a family, it is essential that the grandfather issues directives, thereby enabling parents, uncles, aunts, siblings, and all relatives to harmoniously integrate with one another.
In the process of a family's attachment to all its relatives, it is essential to have a system of human relationships to implement the necessary order between elders and juniors: the affection from above to below, and the respect from below to above. Within a family, where many voices create complexity and many hands bring both greater strength and more affairs, how can mutual tolerance be fostered?
Only then can many disputes and misunderstandings be avoided, and the formation of future branching families—which then become many smaller households—be prevented, making it difficult to maintain order between elders and juniors. Thus, human beings are as such: in the past, they lived in large family units, whereas now, under the framework of such small families, distinctions have become more pronounced.
The First Principle of the New Three Bonds: The Bond of Loyalty and Righteousness Between Sovereign and Subject
What has shaped the past—the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues—faces difficulty integrating into the present era. Thus, out of compassionate grace, the heavens have bestowed a new ethical framework, one more suited to contemporary times and more readily embraced by all: the implementation of the "New Three Bonds."
Consider for a moment: are the traditional principles of "the ruler guides the subject, the father guides the son, and the husband guides the wife" still applicable in today's era? In terms of the life orientation of humanity, the nuclear family system has been adopted for implementation. In the present age, the ancient rites between ruler and subject no longer exist, and their absolute authority has completely faded.
It also becomes a situation where, within a nation, religion, organization, institution, or enterprise system, if those in charge fail to show compassion toward their subordinates, it is seen as a lack of benevolence. This can no longer be unilaterally accepted as it was in the past. Today, with humanity's heightened knowledge and wisdom, people often respond with disloyalty toward those in leadership.
From the perspective of necessity, it must be observed whether both parties practice the "Principle of Loyalty and Righteousness between Ruler and Subject." The ruler, as the superior, must possess benevolence, virtue, and righteousness, while the subject, as the subordinate, must demonstrate loyalty, faithfulness, and devotion. For a nation, religion, organization, institution, or enterprise, it is essential to implement such a principle, as embodied in the new three principles: the Principle of Loyalty and Righteousness between Ruler and Subject.
The Second Principle of the New Three Bonds: The Bond Between Parents and Children
In establishing the ethical norms for a family, it is essential to understand that in this world, one must undertake the full responsibility of disciplining one's children to nurture virtuous descendants. As the ancient saying goes, "A drum does not sound without being struck; jade does not become an artifact without being carved." This illustrates a principle we must grasp in human society: the importance of teaching by example, by words, and by discipline.
Therefore, the Heavenly Mandate has been revised: with the father as the model for the child, the conduct of parents serves as an example for their children. This gives rise to the formation of the "New Three Bonds" between parents and children. For all modern nuclear families, this means that parents must embody a virtuous example through their actions, words, and discipline, in order to nurture upright descendants.
This is based on the current era, and it also addresses the shortcomings of the past. Precisely because the nuclear family has become a trend today, it is difficult to maintain the lifestyle of the extended families of the past. It is essential to establish a framework centered on parents and children to care for the daily lives of the entire family. Therefore, for modern people, raising the next generation has become comparatively more demanding.
This speaks to the necessity of parents caring for their children in the lives of human beings, as well as the responsibility of children to show filial piety toward their parents. Only through such mutual commitment can the order of human relationships be maintained, ensuring that the proper sequence between elders and juniors is passed down through generations. It is essential to understand that children are the cherished jewels and the very heart of their parents.
The Third Principle of the New Three Principles: The Principle of Marital Harmony
These are the fruits born of the affection between you two as husband and wife. It is essential to provide them with truthful guidance rather than indulge them blindly, lest the outcome diverge from what you imagine, and regret comes too late. You must also understand that even if it involves the retribution of cause and effect, through proper education and moral cultivation, many negative examples can be avoided.
Moreover, in the past, the principle that "the husband is the guiding force for the wife" can be interpreted as follows: For a couple to achieve a harmonious marital bond, it is essential that they maintain unity and cooperation. Only then can they foster a favorable marital relationship and cultivate virtuous descendants. If a couple frequently engages in quarrels and conflicts, such a household sets a poor example for their children, inevitably shaping the character of future generations and projecting a negative influence on society as a whole.
This exemplifies the principle that "when those above are not upright, those below will go astray," demonstrating through personal example the necessity of fostering harmonious marital relationships within a family. It cautions against the high divorce rates prevalent in today's era, which are undesirable for the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land. A harmonious union between husband and wife forms the foundation of a complete family and underscores the essential role of leading by example.
Because your children will imitate all the actions and behaviors of their parents, would you wish to set a poor example for them through your conduct? I believe no one would desire this. When such behavior is incorporated into the interactions between husband and wife, the example set for children and descendants is best rectified by upholding the principle of the husband as the guiding standard for the wife, which is the proper way.
The Implementation of the New Three Bonds Benefits Nuclear Families
In the present era, the prevalence of smaller families and fewer children has led to a greater tendency for parents to dote on their offspring... This shift reflects a global transformation in family dynamics, making it difficult to maintain the traditional ethical norms of the extended family structures of the past. Consequently, contemporary life is predominantly characterized by the distinct lifestyle of the nuclear family.
This is why, with the foundation of education and moral cultivation, one will not abandon the ethical norms that govern human relationships, and it also sets a good example for the world. In today's human society, however, the establishment of ancient ethical principles is lacking, leading to many unworthy descendants. What causes this? It is all due to excessive indulgence and an unwillingness to impose strict discipline.
When this kind of excessive indulgence reaches an extreme, many adverse effects will arise. Although there are retributions from past-life karma within the divine laws of Heaven, through human education and moral cultivation, all negative examples in the world can be reduced. If we reflect carefully, is this not indeed the case?
It is the sense of shame within each individual that serves to resolve all issues. This principle, once practiced in ancient ethics, is now gradually lacking among contemporary humanity. Its absence has given rise to numerous negative examples, which constantly appear around us—a phenomenon worthy of deep reflection, introspection, and vigilance.
Human ethics and regulations are to be implemented,  
All aspects of substance and function must be clearly understood.
Education sows the seeds of cultivation, while ethics and morality bring peace of mind.
In this life, retribution brings much hardship; all is endured for the sake of one's children.
Indulging a child without discipline leads to lifelong regret that is hard to undo.
This verse serves as a mutual encouragement for all sentient beings: it is essential to uphold virtuous conduct in all human relationships and social norms, maintaining order between the young and the old as well as practicing etiquette and mutual respect in social decorum. Should karmic retribution arise, it can be mitigated to the greatest extent through the power of education and moral cultivation—this is the true path.
Celestial Venerable of Boundless Blessings
The Celestial Worthy of Boundless Blessings Ascends,  
Gathering All Devoted Deities and Sages in Reverent Unity.
May all be auspicious and well, with fortune expanding and wealth and virtue deepening.
Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Golden Virtue Star Lord of the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the twenty-seventh installment of the Great Dao Xingtan. This installment focuses on analyzing the principles of human ethics, the order of seniority and youth, and their role in educating and transforming the human world, often forming a crusade to reverse negative karma.
Among these are: the ancient ethics constructed to be deeply engraved in the eight consciousness fields, which would foster profound and lasting memory, unlike the frequent news in today's era of unfilial sons harming their parents, which provides too many negative examples. It is essential to understand that ancient ethics aim to dismantle such negative models; with careful reflection, this becomes clear.

The Vast Celestial Realm of the Great Cosmos—  
The Wood Virtue Star Lord descends to join the gathering.
The twenty-eighth chapter of the Great Way Xingtan: Benevolence and virtue from superiors win the allegiance of subordinates.
Chapter 28: Benevolent Virtue from Above, Loyalty and Righteousness from Below
Superiors benevolent and virtuous, subordinates loyal and righteous.
Ancient Moral Philosophy: In the present era, it has undergone significant changes, giving rise to many instances of disloyalty and injustice in human society. This stems from a fundamental lack of understanding that the principles governing a nation, organization, institution, enterprise, or family are one and the same. Without ethical norms and regulations, it is difficult to achieve proper implementation.
It is precisely the actions and deeds of humanity that have been integrated into the world, and as the current era remains constrained within such limitations, with no better alternatives available, it is essential to understand the "Fundamental Texts of Chinese Culture" when incorporating ancient ethics into the present age. This serves as a means of implementing ethical regulations.
Only then can we avoid the chaos that pervades most nations, religions, organizations, institutions, enterprises, and families in the current era. The absence of the moral principles, ethics, and social order of the past in today's world is precisely due to the obscurity and hindrance of human ignorance. Yet, many still believe such a state to be correct, and in the future, they are bound to suffer the bitter consequences.
Human beings enter into different spatiotemporal conditions and karmic affinities, which in turn give rise to the transformations of different eras.
Change occurs within the temporal and spatial processes, giving rise to different moral and ethical norms that evolve with the times. Thus, it can be said that the actions within a nation, religion, community, organization, enterprise, or family are all interconnected.
Ancient moral ethics must be supplemented.
Without the regulation of moral ethics, it would be difficult to establish a sound system for the practice of good morals. This issue is seldom understood by the general public—how exactly does it arise? Moreover, as the morality of humanity gradually declines today, there will be an increasing number of those who lack integrity and shame.
These shameless individuals have grown increasingly brazen. In the process of upholding morality in the world, it is essential to integrate ethical principles into human society. There should be a mutual understanding: superiors must practice benevolence and righteousness, while subordinates should demonstrate loyalty and support. This interconnectedness is what sustains all affairs in the world.
Both of these principles apply equally to a nation, religion, community, organization, enterprise, or family, thus fostering mutual fulfillment and harmony. In human society, it is essential to uphold the proper order between elders and the young, as well as to implement the norms of human relations. Therefore, the affairs of the world should also be conducted within the framework of ethical and moral regulations.
This illustrates that with a clear hierarchy of seniority and juniority, and with superiors necessarily exercising benevolence, virtuous governance, and righteous conduct, can the loyalty and faithful devotion of subordinates be secured. That is to say, unwavering allegiance requires both higher and lower levels to unite as one in expanding the nation, religion, organizations, institutions, enterprises, and families outward, thereby ensuring the widespread dissemination and promotion of their values without difficulty.
Superiors and those in charge must possess benevolence, virtue, and a sense of righteousness.
This is a fundamental perspective essential for human society, enabling harmonious relationships with all nations, religions, organizations, institutions, enterprises, and families. It fosters mutual fulfillment and perfection. As the ancients said: "Many hands make light work; unity among many creates strength." This generates a formidable force for outward expansion.
In the human world, there exists a cohesion born of centripetal force, which enables all who work together to harmonize like family members. This is an essential foundational concept, and it must genuinely foster a mutual fulfillment and completion. Such conduct requires this harmony, which in turn leads to a harmonious and integrated coexistence.
Rather, it stems from the leaders in charge, who practice benevolence, righteousness, and virtue in their governance. They do not merely enrich themselves with surplus gains, nor do they hoard wealth solely for their own pockets, refusing to share with all who work alongside them. Instead, they should distribute resources equitably among all colleagues, fostering harmony as if they were one family.
In any entity—be it a nation, religion, organization, institution, enterprise, or family—fewer issues will arise when it is said, as the ancients did: "Many people, many opinions; many tasks, yet great strength." Therefore, it is essential to implement management regulations. The enforcement of such regulations must be carried out with a certain degree of firmness and rigor.
Unity is an invincible force.
It is essential to understand that regulatory governance is a fundamental framework necessary within human relationships and social conventions. There must also be certain regulations governing these interactions to achieve completeness and fulfillment. While it serves a basic function in human society, even as all regulatory measures are implemented, one must not forget the application of all aspects of human relationships and social conventions.
This is implemented through the management regulations of the human world, with moral norms serving as the guiding principles. Only in this way can management regulations avoid losing the warmth of human relationships and worldly wisdom. Therefore, in the practice of such human affairs, it is essential to understand that all aspects of human relationships and worldly wisdom often serve as highly effective and harmonious stepping stones.
Nor will it lose the warmth of human relationships due to regulatory constraints. This is implemented through ethics and morality, serving as a complement within human interactions. Hence, there often exist many considerations beyond the law, none other than the workings of human relationships, which together achieve a mutual fulfillment.
Why is this so? In any entity—be it a nation, religion, organization, institution, enterprise, or family—each individual plays a distinct role. It is rare for a person to remain in the same role throughout their entire life. Except for those who bear significant responsibilities as leaders, most people will undergo changes in their roles, to a greater or lesser extent, over time.
Superiors must uphold benevolence, righteousness, and virtue in their actions.
In shaping each role, one is afforded greater opportunities for learning. The cultivation of diverse roles and skills stems from the pursuit of growth through learning, which ultimately converges to form an interconnected whole: a nation, a religion, an organization, a unit, an enterprise, or a family. This process fosters a union of shared purpose and unity.
Each individual contributes their unique strength, which collectively forms a powerful centripetal force. When this centripetal force converges, it generates immense power, sufficient to expand and propagate its influence outward. The diligent efforts of all stem from the convergence of this great force.
Thus, there is much fulfillment and perfection. Therefore, a leader must necessarily embody benevolence, righteousness, and virtue in practice. Only then will subordinates be loyal and righteous, willingly dedicating themselves to this nation, religion, community, organization, enterprise, or family, thereby generating considerable momentum for positive expansion.
This is a fundamental conduct that anyone can adopt. Only when each individual cultivates such centripetal force can greater fulfillment be achieved. For those in leadership roles, it is essential to practice benevolence, virtue, and righteousness. Therefore, to achieve sound and enduring management, leaders must embody the compassionate nature of benevolent virtue.
Subordinates will then be loyal and willingly dedicate themselves.
It is essential to have the practice of benevolence and righteousness. Such qualities embody the demeanor of a leader who can attract good subordinates to follow. Looking back at history, every nation has been like this; for every religion, it is through such a "corner"—a small foothold—that a major lineage is formed in the future.
Similarly, for any group or organization, this principle of leaders setting examples for followers to emulate applies as well, aiming to achieve outward expansion. Observing today's enterprises reveals the same pattern: every business entity or corporate foundation starts from humble beginnings in a small corner. With a warm sense of cohesion, they can ultimately achieve limitless possibilities through creation.
This approach, which requires meticulous care for every religion, organization, enterprise, institution, and family, and ensures that subordinates are free from worries, fosters a centripetal force that encourages wholehearted dedication to the cause, group, or institution. Such a method, worthy of emulation, is precisely how it is applied in the human world.
To ensure subordinates have no worries about the future
Furthermore, by drawing upon the management philosophies of others and integrating them into a newly emerging religious lineage, a strong sense of cohesion can be fostered. This mutual support becomes essential to prevent obstacles from hindering the collective momentum needed to move forward. In this way, the experiences of others are leveraged, combined with one's own efforts, to drive expansion.
Creation can be achieved, and lessons can be learned from the failures of others.
It is precisely through changing one's own blind groping and necessarily adopting such conceptual actions that great power can be gathered to form a future lineage of the Great Dao, enabling one to understand how others have managed their processes.
The distinction between success and failure in one's future hinges on understanding the very nature of these outcomes. By grasping how success and failure arise, one can create something from nothing, bring ideas into reality, and foster growth from solid foundations, thereby achieving genuine accomplishments and merits. These achievements must continuously adapt to the changing times to yield practical results. Does this make sense?
One may draw upon the experiences of others to transform ignorance into clarity and prominence.
Superiors are benevolent and compassionate,  
Subordinates are loyal and follow the righteous path.
The achievements of a lifetime are shaped by one's own cultivation of future outcomes.
Do not be like the ordinary;  
A life of hardship seldom leads to achievement.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. Regarding the fundamental concepts of ancient morality and ethics, every entrepreneurial team begins from nothing, then gradually grows upward and expands outward. Advancing in such a situation, it is the true path to transcend and enhance all good causes and conditions in the human world.
The Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Dao Circle
The boundless cause and condition descend upon the Chongxin,  
Dao Yuan, the immortal maiden, ascends the platform in presence.
Together, all sentient beings, gods and men,  
Clearly uphold the three bonds of loyalty and righteousness.
Good evening to all saints and sages, virtuous beings, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy. Today, the Wood Virtue Star Lord of the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the twenty-eighth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, analyzing a new threefold bond: the bond of loyalty and righteousness between ruler and subject, with superiors embodying benevolence and virtue, and subordinates demonstrating loyalty and righteousness. This offers insight into how we can work together harmoniously.
It is essential to live together in harmony like brothers and sisters to avoid many problems. Indeed, tolerance and communication are necessary, and one must not infringe upon the rights of others. Such conduct arises precisely when different times and spaces converge, creating the causes and conditions of varied eras and places. Can we cherish this? Not necessarily!
In such gatherings born of karmic affinity, all encounters are fleeting—why then create more causes for negative karma? We must cherish these rare moments together, for through favorable conditions we may cultivate good karma. Once we understand that wherever life takes us, virtuous causes can extend their influence, we realize that the distinction between a bright or bleak future in this world lies precisely in this.

The Great Cosmos, the Star Lord of Water Virtue
Across the vast cosmos of countless star systems,  
The Water Virtue Star Lord descends in auspicious arrival.
The twenty-ninth chapter of the Great Way Xingtan: Family harmony brings prosperity and flourishing.
Chapter 29: Family Harmony Brings Prosperity and Fortune
Harmony in the family brings prosperity and blessings.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they are bound by the regulations of family ethics. Adherence to human morality and ethics, as practiced by every family, serves distinct purposes. The most essential condition among these is the harmony within a family, which in turn fosters the prosperity and happiness of the entire household.
In the human world, such conditions must be founded on harmony. Within the framework of human ethics and moral regulations, it is essential that all family members rely on one another and achieve mutual fulfillment as the righteous path. It is within this fulfillment that each family member carries out their responsibilities, rights, and obligations.
The prosperity of a family stems from the dedicated efforts of each member, which in turn fosters harmony within the household. This harmony is characterized by proper order between elders and juniors, kindness from parents and filial piety from children, marital fulfillment, brotherly affection and respect, harmony among sisters-in-law, and overall familial amity. These are the fundamental elements essential for creating a harmonious and thriving family.
Thus, through such conceptual actions, a rather perfect framework is constructed and realized.
A happy family lays the foundation for its prosperity. In the context of humanity, the role each individual plays within the family is unique, yet the bonds of kinship connect them all in profound intimacy.
Family harmony is the beginning of prosperity and happiness.
Thus, within the lineage passed down by an ancestor, there are also grandparents, parents, husband and wife, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, and all cousins living together, forming a family unit. This combination must achieve mutual harmony to avoid creating grievances among one another.
Moreover, among such relatives, one might say: how rare and how difficult it is to establish a kinship relationship that lives under the same roof. In the future, it is inevitable that the tree will grow large and branch out—this is the trend of the current era, and it has also become a predominant feature of smaller family units.
Within a family, the initial harmony of living together despite differences fosters mutual tolerance among its members, which in turn gives rise to the family's prosperity. This prosperity demands that every member of the household contributes their heart and effort, for only through such unity can the conditions for flourishing be met.
It is precisely the same ancestral origin, within the inherited karma, that becomes the convergence point for the descendants. In the future, as each individual marries and forms new unions, the original bonds among siblings and cousins will evolve into different future connections and marital ties with other relatives.
Relatives bound by the same ancestral ties.
Some of these formations are due to the karmic connections between sisters-in-law, leading to the birth of a group of cousins who may also live together, thus creating mutual residential ties. Living under the same roof, as time passes and each marries, they will have the next generation born from their respective marital unions.
These individuals, originally close siblings and cousins, all share the same ancestral origins and are considered relatives. They contribute to the prosperity of each family, and with greater numbers comes the blessing of mutual companionship, as well as the generation of significant collective strength. Yet, living together in such a manner is no easy feat—it demands even greater tolerance and inclusiveness.
Among all human pursuits, there is one thing that people most desire. After a couple unites, they often hold differing opinions and perspectives from various angles. These divergent viewpoints give rise to different values that they each adhere to. For a married couple, both parties ultimately seek mutual harmony.
It is essential to possess a comprehensive inclusiveness, where both parties can embrace all perspectives, in order to harmonize differing opinions. Through this process, the goal of creating a harmonious and blissful family should be achieved. This requires practical communication between both sides, which in turn fosters virtuous growth and improvement.
A large tree must branch out, each part growing independently.
This form of mutual communication, amidst differing opinions and perspectives, inherently necessitates mutual fulfillment and harmony. It is precisely this necessity that forms the foundation of a harmonious family in human society. Such familial harmony, in turn, embodies mutual completeness and tolerance. Indeed, within every family, both spouses inevitably hold distinct views and angles.
Although they stem from different perspectives and viewpoints, there is always greater room for growth. Therefore, in the human world, there exists mutual fulfillment and tolerance. Such conduct is carried out by both parties, laying a prosperous foundation for a family. Over time, what happens when a "daughter-in-law finally becomes a mother-in-law"?
It will be of great benefit in the human world to foster harmony within every family, where each member takes responsibility for fulfilling their duties, obligations, and rights. This mutual commitment allows every individual to contribute, thereby maintaining the family's unity and well-being.
This is to illustrate that through the practice of moral ethics, within a thriving family, it can be understood that the prosperity of a family arises from the contributions of all its members. This collective effort forms the foundation for the family's flourishing. Moreover, by integrating such prosperity into the framework of human relations and moral principles, the necessity of establishing ethical norms can be realized.
Family members must possess a strong capacity for tolerance.
This is an undeniable truth: the essential requirement for a prosperous family lies in achieving, under such conditions, a distinct harmony among its members. It is through the practice of ethical norms that human relations and morality are fostered, leading to mutual fulfillment and greater inclusiveness. Only in this way can the overall prosperity of the family be achieved.
This originates from: the implementation of ethical regulations, which creates the conditions for a family's prosperity. This is a framework that should be applied in the human world, as well as an essential guideline for all living beings in their survival principles. Therefore, within the prosperity of a family, it is necessary to have human ethical regulations, which is the true nature of things.
There will also be a lasting and enduring prosperity of the family lineage, which precisely arises from humanity's practice of moral and ethical principles, marking the beginning of such prosperity. In the future, although there may be situations where the family tree branches out extensively, even after such branching, each family member will retain the values instilled by the past practice of morality and ethics.
It is precisely after each family branch diverges that the establishment of every small household occurs, which is also a product of the current era. For humanity, a network of kinship connections is formed, sustaining all relatives, much like the daily life shared within the extended families of the past.
The greatest mission in life is to pass on one's legacy to future generations.
It is precisely based on the regulation of ethics and morality, which maintains a spiritual standard of human ethics and morality for all living beings, that a small family unit often evolves into a larger family in the future. Is this not so? This formation occurs in the present moment, necessitating the practice of human ethics, morality, and fundamental principles.
This process of implementation is akin to the regulations established within the traditional extended family in the past. Such regulations were passed down by parents and involved all relatives after the children were married. It represents a mutual integration, which is why humanity possesses a profound bond known as: the inheritance of future generations.
It is after the two parents that, over time, a multitude of descendants emerges. As different surnames are passed down through successive generations, the ethical framework of human relations and morality is established. This is precisely how, in the human world, one passes on to another, generation to generation, and before long, a great many descendants come into being.
Human beings pass down their heritage from generation to generation in this manner. This transmission is essential among people, and it is through such inheritance that human ethics and morality are established, creating a necessary foundation for virtuous conduct. Thus, in ancient moral philosophy, there exists a mutual inheritance specifically focused on ethics.
What does one seek in life? In the end, all returns to the earth.
It is also within this lineage that the order of seniority and precedence is established. In their pursuit of survival, all human beings shape every aspect of their lives. Yet, the long-standing legacy of humanity will, after a time, be wholly returned to this earth. What, then, is there to compare in this world? What is there to contend over? Can one truly see through it all?
At this very moment, human beings must understand why they exist without a permanent physical form. What can be realized is precisely why humanity desires to grow, ascend, and transcend—not merely for the sake of passing on descendants in the human world.
Many people may feel that as long as one is content and happy inside, it is enough. Yet, is there often a sense of chasing after a lingering emptiness? This is why entering religious practice in the human world does not necessarily guarantee that everyone can grow, ascend, and transcend. Moreover, relying solely on religious faith makes it difficult to achieve growth through diligent effort.
Often, the question of whether one has chosen the correct religious faith in this lifetime relates to the distinction between future ascension and transcendence, or the causes and conditions for cultivation in the next life, as well as the risk of sinking into decline. In such circumstances, an entire lifetime may be buried, along with all the sacrifices, devotion, and diligent efforts made. Yet, how does each person ultimately choose?
Ethical regulations are implemented, fostering a prosperous and large family.
In today's era of nuclear families, all have both father and mother.
Passed down through generations,  
Teaching endures from age to age.
Feeling the helplessness of life, one sees through life and death and attains peace of mind.
This verse! Let us mutually encourage all sentient beings: in this human world, it is essential to choose one's faith with clear discernment, for this determines the future ascent or descent, as well as the cycle of repeated sinking and rebirth. How then should one take responsibility for oneself? This is precisely about whether one must become the master of oneself—and make that choice.
The Immortal Maiden of Boundless Virtue
The Immortal Maiden of Boundless Virtue ascends,  
Together gathering with the divine beings of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,  
May the great path of transformation be truly accomplished.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Water Virtue Star Lord from the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan. This chapter addresses the harmony, prosperity, and blessings of the family, offering guidance to humanity in managing household affairs. By fostering a thriving and joyful family life, one will surely receive the blessings bestowed.
This is the fundamental framework necessary for human society, which will be established for all extended families through this process. It serves as a foundation for prosperity, and just as a tree grows large and branches out, this structure will give rise to smaller families that unite. Over time, these will once again form extended families.
Furthermore, the establishment of small families in the future, passed down repeatedly from generation to generation, will inevitably lead one to reflect: what can be done even after living through one’s own lifetime? Can one truly see clearly all the helplessness in the human world? Thus, one may turn to religious faith and practice, but it is not guaranteed that everyone who enters into religious faith will be able to ascend and improve.
It also depends on each individual's choice, distinguishing whether one possesses the conditions for such upward growth. This is absolutely true, which is why many people remain loyal throughout their lives, diligently advancing in their religious faith and making sacrifices and offerings; yet in the end, they still find themselves helplessly caught in the cycle of rebirth in the next life. Does it all come down to whether one has chosen the correct religious faith?

The Great Cosmos, the Star Lord of Fire Virtue
The vast cosmos returns to the celestial horizon,  
The Fire Virtue Star Lord sets the time for writing.
Thirty sessions at the Apricot Altar of the Great Way,  
Lay the foundation of virtue for educating future generations.
Chapter 30: Educating Future Generations with Moral Ethics
Educating future generations in moral ethics
Sentient beings in the human world possess an inherent necessity for inheritance. This transmission to future generations is essential, as it serves to educate humanity in the moral and ethical principles that govern survival. It is imperative to provide practical means for descendants to abide by these moral and ethical norms, which constitute the fundamental duties for the existence of all human beings.
In the human world, the transmission of all education and cultivation is the accumulation of experiences from the realm of human affairs, applied through knowledge. This is passed down to future generations, enabling them to truly embrace the concepts of morality and ethics. It is precisely through the principles of morality and ethics that all standards for education and cultivation are implemented.
This kind of instruction for future generations must be carried out and trained with authenticity and integrity, which is also an essential aspect of inheritance. It aims to achieve an educational curriculum for descendants, ensuring that these educators have a complete and practical set of teaching materials. Under such conditions, educational experience is integrated into textbooks, thereby establishing a foundation for education.
It is precisely through schools and private academies that these two entities become attached to education and moral cultivation.
Standards are the accumulation of predecessors' experiences, integrated into the curriculum of enlightenment and education. Thus, humanity possesses a complete educational system, enabling students to understand how all that has been passed down by their forebears came to be.
The Principles of Human Existence and Ethical Norms
By tracing the footsteps of our predecessors, we can comprehend the entire journey of hardships they endured and the profound, unforgettable pains they experienced. This understanding allows us to grasp the path they walked, while also enabling us to learn from and complement one another in our own pursuits. Such is the essential nature of education and cultural transmission among humanity.
These experiences are instilled into the mindset and concepts of every subsequent student, as it is essential to accumulate the wisdom of all predecessors in this manner. Moreover, this knowledge of the predecessors is used to elevate future generations, creating an upward-driving force. How, then, can we ensure that this driving force truly brings tangible benefits?
It is essential to understand the nature of the educational curriculum undertaken during the learning process. This also shapes the capacity for greater absorption of the curriculum, ensuring that the knowledge imparted through education is genuinely and thoroughly passed down to future generations. This forms the foundational basis of learning and establishes the function of education in nurturing and guiding.
In the human world, it is the predecessors who teach the successors. This is based on the private schools of the past. As such institutions no longer exist in the present era, the state has implemented a comprehensive educational curriculum, enabling all human beings to genuinely receive education, benefiting from the nurturing and positive influence of goodness.
The enforcement of moral and ethical regulations.
It is precisely in shaping the moral and ethical framework of the human world that the practical function of educational curricula becomes essential. Moreover, the implementation of such national education has evolved to include increasingly refined disciplinary divisions, allowing for specialized and comprehensive study. In human society, this is built upon the foundation of a "bachelor's degree," progressing toward the achievements of "master's and doctoral degrees."
This transcends the ancient educational curriculum, and the benefit of engaging with various specialized courses also allows all future generations of learners to develop a selective interest based on their own inclinations, enabling them to truly understand the nature of the specialized fields they explore. This aligns with the division of labor in the modern world, which encompasses distinct disciplinary domains.
To cultivate professionals with diverse expertise, the divine has thus brought forth all high-tech talents in this manner, leaving no one as a universally proficient polymath. It is only through such education and cultivation that humanity can truly benefit from creation. This specialization is tailored to the human world, evolving through the study of different disciplines.
This will facilitate the cultivation of diverse specialized skills among all human beings, distinguishing achievements across various fields. It will also enable all educational curricula to gain genuine understanding, and through meticulous division of labor in all human civilizations, it will differentiate these essential specialized techniques into distinct disciplines of technological civilization.
Moral and ethical education for future generations
To alter the past, one must first fully comprehend the constraints involved. This necessitates delving into various specialized fields, thereby cultivating expertise and fostering a multitude of talents capable of innovation, invention, and research. For the civilization of humanity, this involves integrating the evolutionary advancements of highly advanced extraterrestrial civilizations.
It is precisely by transforming the planet on which humanity resides that a highly advanced technological civilization can be extended downward, benefiting all human beings. This is indeed necessary, and within such specialized expertise, each individual may be said to be cultivated upon the foundation of "master's or doctoral talents."
Through the dedication of these specialized talents, significant achievements are made possible. It is precisely because humanity has evolved from "past generalists to present-day specialists" that diverse fields of practice have emerged. This has given rise to a multitude of professions and experts, who serve the varied needs of all people, bringing benefit to humankind.
This is the implementation of necessity, also addressing the potential adverse consequences for all human beings if only high-tech civilization were to govern the human world. What is the reason for this? It lies in the fact that human beings, when equipped with high technology but lacking the genuine practice of morality and ethics, would create a system deficient in human ethics and moral principles.
The Moral Ethics of All High-Tech Civilizations
It can also create a considerable force of slaughter in the human world. This has long been a lesson from the past, borne out by the causes and conditions of earlier times. In the present era, human existence is characterized by mutual interactions, and within such interactions inevitably arises a harmful destructive force that inflicts suffering upon all human beings.
This is why, when the divine seeks to transform the life orientation of humanity, it is essential to implement educational courses on morality and ethics, deepening them progressively. This is so that future generations may learn and grow, for an elder whose mindset has already solidified would likely find it exceedingly difficult to alter their thoughts and perspectives, let alone achieve improvement.
This issue has long existed in human society. To secure a future of virtuous living spaces, it is essential to deeply embed moral and ethical norms into educational curricula for future generations through truthful and practical implementation. By doing so, a foundational framework of values can be established for the education of all succeeding generations.
It is essential to deeply embed ethical education and moral cultivation. This will transform the perspectives of future generations, inheriting and evolving the ideas of their predecessors. In all human societies, this constitutes a truly substantive educational curriculum. A comprehensive and holistic plan is necessary to instill the function of moral cultivation in the human world, which will then enable the practice of goodness among humanity.
The implementation of education and transformation must be grounded in moral and ethical principles.
Thus, the Supreme Being has been continuously reforming in this regard. Only by truly benefiting from all the civilizations and technologies of the human world can the practical functions of all educational courses in the mortal realm be realized, which is the true path. Only through such genuine education for future generations can the authenticity of educational thought be transformed throughout the entire human world.
Therefore, the moral ethics of the Central Land's Yan and Huang are applied to the human world. This specifically involves the promotion of the "True Buddha Heart School," aiming to integrate these ancient human ethics with the modern era's "New Three Bonds," implementing them within the system of human ethical norms. Extending this to the entire human world will bring tangible benefits to all.
Only then can genuine change occur in the world. It is necessary to rectify the deficiencies and errors found among all human beings. Only by truthfully addressing these issues, as precisely as a needle points to the fact that "the 21st century belongs to the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in the Central Land," and by incorporating this truth into educational curricula, can we transform the erroneous thinking of all humanity and achieve greater elevation.
In the world, there exists a rather profound foundation. However, due to the constraints of their own interests and power, as well as the inadequacies of all financial groups and nations, humanity must make genuine changes to address these issues. In the future of the Chongxin lineage, there will indeed be a comprehensive educational curriculum designed for the entire world, which is essential for this purpose.
The practice of moral ethics and social norms
Moreover, applying all the moral, ethical, and normative principles of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains to all humanity and sentient beings is not a fantasy but an absolute truth. This will become a fundamental course necessary after the promotion of the Chongxin lineage. It will not only transform the educational philosophy of humanity but also establish the implementation of "morality, ethics, and norms" in the human world.
It is essential to pair the Three Cardinal Guides, Five Constant Virtues, Four Social Bonds, and Eight Virtues, integrating them into the "New Three Cardinal Guides and Twelve Principles" to serve as the universal standards for all human conduct. Moreover, these principles must be faithfully implemented in the human realm. Through this, we can progress from the small to the great, from the few to the many, achieving step by step the cultivation of ethical norms and moral principles for humanity.
At the establishment of the Chongxin Sect's economic system: the Anxin Group—Chongxin Institution, this is a great sacred mission long ordained by the Heavenly Realm, now truly implemented in the human world. After promoting these endeavors, many "talents and resources" will gather together to advance the practice of human ethics, morality, and social order, which is known as the righteous path.
Education and cultivation require earnest effort,  
Carried out through ethics and morality.
The norms and regulations must be established,  
To guide future generations with truth and order.
The cause of revering the heart gradually unfolds, as the heavens truthfully extend their grand vision.
A solid foundation is thus established,  
As the three bonds are renewed and truly transformed.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all human beings, and also truthfully records in the celestial book all that will come to be in the future. From it, one can understand how the original sacred missions and duties are fulfilled! The advancement, elevation, and transcendence of all human beings are precisely determined by their own choices.
The Immortal Maiden Who Transmits the Dao from the Wuji
Profound and deep is the cause from the Ultimate Void,  
To spread the Way in the mortal world and shape my being.
Today the Immortal Maiden meets the divine being,  
Within the celestial text lies heaven's profound mechanism.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Fire Virtue Star Lord of the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the thirtieth installment of the Great Dao Xingtan. By inscribing the principles of education, moral teachings, ethics, and the norms of human relations into the Celestial Book, it will bring about different karmic opportunities across time and space, which must be implemented accordingly.
Now, the time is gradually unfolding, and much effort is still required. It is essential to understand the "New Three Bonds" of the Chongxin Sect, which can be upheld throughout the world. Do not underestimate the hardships you have endured in the past, for they will inevitably avert a major global calamity upon implementation. Gradually, for the 21st-century Lotus Buddha Pure Land, there will be substantial and genuine preparations.
Within this, there remains much that must be overcome through human effort. Observing everyone’s diligent work and achievements, the Immortals and Buddhas have long hoped that through your contributions, genuine and meritorious accomplishments may be established. Tomorrow marks another auspicious occasion for our sect’s repentance ceremony, and may all virtuous connections be fulfilled and elevated.

The myriad star systems of the vast cosmos—  
The Lord of the Virtuous Earth Star descends in auspicious presence.
The Thirty-First Chapter of the Great Way Xingtan: Specialization and Division of Labor Create Refinement
Chapter Thirty-One: Specialized Division of Labor, Meticulous Craftsmanship
Specialized division of labor yields exquisite craftsmanship.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they develop diverse orientations toward survival. This condition necessitates learning and growth in various life skills within human society. It is through the nurturing of education in the "Apricot Altar" tradition—what we now refer to as schools or academies—that all these different life skills are cultivated and mastered.
This learning environment is designed to cultivate specialized technical skills tailored to each profession, ensuring expertise in every field. Hence, disciplines are divided into distinct departments. From this perspective, the various specialized technical institutes in society serve to guide life directions, all aimed at nurturing and educating future generations of students.
It also allows for the existence of diverse life skills in the human world, thereby creating the conditions for sustaining life. From the perspective of human society, this is indeed necessary. As various industries evolve into more specialized fields, different survival requirements emerge. Each industry and professional domain achieves greater refinement through such specialization.
No longer is it necessary, as in the past, to adopt an orientation toward being a polymath or a generalist.
This approach cannot lead to greater specialization. Throughout the process of orientation and selection, various fields of study are established, resulting in different academic disciplines—bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. In human society, this gives rise to diverse specialized domains of expertise.
Specialization and division of labor play a refined and precise role.
In the realm of human existence, various professions with different levels of specialization have emerged, offering greater benefits to humanity. Looking back, such refined professional divisions did not exist in earlier times. It is only in the modern era that diverse disciplines have been developed, leading to the flourishing of each industry and bringing widespread benefits to humankind.
To address the diverse needs of human beings for sustenance, there are: clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment. Each of these fields is managed by specialized disciplines, with precise and dedicated practices. This necessity in the human world is precisely what drives the advancement of civilization through these distinct and specialized industries.
Through the teachings of the educational sphere and structured curricula, numerous professionals have been cultivated, contributing to the flourishing of various industries across humanity. This achievement stems from the efforts of different nations, demonstrating that each profession necessitates distinct lifestyles. How can we further transcend the boundaries of our living spaces? It is essential to embrace the civilization of "borrowing talent."
These aspects: after an invention or creation is made regarding the qualities of all things in the human world, there must also be a fundamental framework to guide the process of inventing and creating objects. In the first generation of such items, the quality tends to lack the refinement and advancement seen later. Following the initial act of creation and invention, it serves as a basis for future modifications.
Specialized Division of Labor and Refined Techniques
From the second time onward, it is refined to achieve a more exquisite quality through all good adjustments, aiming at a greater enhancement of what an object presents in the human world. This exquisite quality is reformed many times, forming a rather refined interior and exterior, and this quality is indeed quite exquisite.
It also aligns with the human tendency to seek novelty and change. By meticulously subdividing various academic disciplines, the inventions and creations that emerge from human ingenuity can achieve a high level of refinement and quality. Moreover, these advancements can earn enduring favor among humanity. How, then, do such inventions and creations in the realms of clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment come about?
Through the education and cultivation of the "Apricot Altar"—the schools and academies of the past—these inventions were formed, contributing to a realm of education and transmission in the human world that is both truthful and perfect. Therefore, as human civilization and technology evolve and progress through growth, it will inevitably bring benevolent benefits to all sentient beings.
The cultivation of various disciplines yields products of superior quality for humanity to choose from, thereby improving diverse aspects of life. In the human world, distinctions between excellence and deficiency naturally arise, shaping the quality of goods and determining whether they are embraced or rejected by people.
Specialization and division of labor breed excellence in every field.
It is precisely the distinction between superior and inferior qualities that relates to how much fortune each individual among humanity receives. This, in turn, gives rise to the question of whether the qualities one favors are also appreciated by others. In the human world, this manifests as a division of labor across different disciplines, which fulfills the diverse needs and orientations of many people in their lives.
Different fields are necessary to create various essential goods for life. Such conditions are required for relatively advanced tools and devices, whereas for general daily needs, this kind of high-tech knowledge is not necessary. In fact, every person in the world engages in different professions, which is precisely what sustains and enriches life.
In different times and places, distinct life skills emerge. Thus, in the human world, one may acquire certain skills throughout a lifetime that often prove impractical, while other, different life skills or alternative professions become the means of sustenance. Why is this so? It becomes essential to learn a variety of specialized techniques and knowledge.
Various professions: The skills and knowledge acquired through past schooling or academic training have become largely obsolete. Instead, new survival skills that were never learned before are now being integrated into livelihood industries. Under such circumstances, all skills are merely part of a continuous process of learning and growth.
Specialization and division of labor, with each discipline refined to the finest detail.
Therefore, the extensive knowledge and experience accumulated in the past can be utilized in the present to benefit oneself, nourish life, and enhance daily living. Why is this so? In the current division of labor across various academic disciplines, it can be said: How can one derive personal benefit while also contributing to what is needed by humanity and all beings?
This kind of circumstance depends on observing what kind of intellectual orientation each person is situated in, rather than assuming that the profession one chooses remains unchanged for a lifetime—this is rarely the case. It thus shapes the understanding that humanity must continue to survive; in reality, each person’s profession for survival also changes according to different times and environments.
This variation in livelihood and profession is not immutable; many people frequently change careers throughout their lives. The question then arises: can one achieve mastery across different fields? Indeed, it is possible to excel in various professions, which aligns with the ancient saying: "Every trade has its master." In every discipline, there are those who attain profound expertise.
Top achievers in various fields are known as masters of their craft.
This is what modern people refer to as "experts" or "masters." Using contemporary terminology, these are individuals who excel in the world—akin to the old saying, "Every profession produces its own top masters." The key lies in whether one can achieve true mastery within their field, which genuinely distinguishes the various professions. As for the rewards and benefits one reaps, how are they determined? This is closely tied to each person's individual accumulation of blessings and good fortune.
This also results in the varying returns from one's actions and endeavors. Therefore, depending on timing, natural conditions, geographical advantages, and human effort, the returns one receives will differ significantly. This specialized knowledge is precisely what distinguishes different fields. Thus, what is achieved in the human world—the specialized skills across various industries and the expertise in specific livelihoods—how do they manifest?
Regarding whether currency can be abundant and sufficient or lacking and causing hardship, one must also observe the various industries: the timing, geographical advantages, human harmony, and human factors, to distinguish whether the methods are appropriate? Whether people favor them? And whether the quality is refined? The very act of making choices is what distinguishes whether there is currency and profit to be gained in return.
Professional skills are cultivated, each field has its own.
Exquisite quality is beloved by all, but it also requires the right moment to fully mature.
If you wish for wealth, cultivate it yourself;  
All that is needed in this world arises from causes and conditions.
The Apricot Altar nurtures the top scholar;  
The enlightened one may attain blessings that endure.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. Amidst the specialization and refinement across various disciplines and fields, humanity remains the foundation. With diverse life aspirations and pursuits, how then should we distinguish the operations of various professions and industries? To attain abundant resources, one must observe the timing of heaven, the advantages of earth, and the harmony among people—applying these methods is the way to achieve true substance.
The Immortal Maiden of the Ultimate Principle
The Cause and Condition of the Ultimate Void Descends upon the Revered Heart,  
All Sentient Beings Must Practice the Principles and Dharma.
The Immortal Maiden comes on duty today,  
The holy decree concludes with a discussion to guide the way.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Virtuous Star Lord of the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of the Great Dao Apricot Altum. This chapter captures the specialized division of labor and exquisite craftsmanship inherent to humanity, reflecting upon the diverse fields across various industries.
Various academic disciplines: all rely on the foundation of colleges or schools, combined with the teachings of predecessors, to accumulate experience. Different professions entail different areas of exploration. Across varying times and spaces, one's life is continually readjusted into different fields of living. This is the transformation of life—and life as transformation. Can one comprehend all the reasons behind it?
If one is truly wise, how can one comprehend the profound mysteries within? It is essential to gain substantial benefits to grasp their true nature. Otherwise, would it not be too cruel to toil through a lifetime of learning, only to fail in establishing a lifelong vocation? Such is the nature of the human world. Once understood, one can achieve great growth and learning. Therefore, it is necessary to be erudite and well-informed.

The Vast Universe, the Star Lord of the Eastern Dipper
The Lord of the Eastern Dipper presides over the Apricot Altar,  
With profound learning and extensive knowledge, virtue and fortune rely upon him.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Extensive Learning and Broad Knowledge, Drawing Inferences from One Example
Extensive learning and broad knowledge, inferring many things from a single example.
When human beings enter the world of reality, they undergo a process of learning and growth. What was known in ancient times as the "Apricot Altar" education corresponds to what is now referred to as school or academic education. In this human world, it is essential to build upon learning—acquired through one’s own knowledge as well as through the guidance of teachers, parents, and the wisdom of predecessors—to experience this journey of development.
The criterion for application in the human world is based on the accumulation of all knowledge, which is derived from what is called "extensive learning and broad experience." Once acquired, this knowledge is integrated into daily life within society. Thus, taking extensive learning and broad experience as the foundation benefits both oneself and the public.
Extensive knowledge and broad learning stem from integrating acquired knowledge and experience into daily life. To achieve this breadth of understanding, one must be able to draw inferences from various pieces of knowledge, a process that ultimately benefits oneself. This benefit typically arises from one's own wisdom, manifesting in advantages related to life choices and everyday living.
Thus arises the benefit for oneself and for others, for which erudition is essential, and only through extensive learning can it be achieved.
One will benefit! Why is this so? This is a necessity within the human world, and amidst such extensive learning and broad knowledge, how should one transform this knowledge into accumulated experience? That which is to be applied next time is precisely the discernment of wisdom.
Only through extensive learning and broad knowledge can one draw inferences from one instance.
These, when applied to the realm of practical knowledge in life, give rise to a rather elevated orientation toward daily existence. This orientation stems from the entirety of human educational civilization, which also serves to enlighten human ignorance and lack of knowledge, establishing the essential fundamental conditions necessary for life in this world.
To navigate one's own life space in the world, it is essential to proceed in this manner. Therefore, in the pursuit of broad learning, one often delves into other fields of knowledge. By understanding the learning process, one can, in subsequent endeavors, genuinely apply the knowledge gained from being "well-read and widely informed."
Regarding one's orientation towards survival, it is about creating a living space in the world that can be beneficial and achieving upward growth under such conditions. In the world, by building a solid foundation through one's extensive knowledge and broad experience in the living space, one can provide oneself with comfort and benefit in life. This is precisely the achievement of the present moment.
Extensive learning leads to a foundation of broad knowledge, enabling the establishment of a high-quality daily life. The benefits derived from daily living should be just so—transforming this applicable knowledge into practical life experience, which in turn cultivates wisdom. This wisdom offers humanity a higher level of life orientation in the course of living, surpassing that of others.
Extensive learning and broad knowledge benefit both oneself and all beings.
This approach is oriented towards daily life, aiming to further elevate the space of everyday living. It can be observed that every sentient being possesses such potential, and it is also evident whether each individual has the capacity for "extensive learning and broad knowledge"—this is the most fundamental condition. The key lies in how to skillfully utilize this extensive learning and broad knowledge, which in turn yields the effectiveness of deriving multiple insights from a single example.
Addressing issues by transforming them: the authentic application of the positive, ordinary, and negative aspects. This condition enables one to infer the rest from a single instance regarding these three dimensions—positive, negative, and ordinary. These three aspects are precisely what knowledge manifests, allowing wisdom to unfold in understanding how to seize the opportunity and apply it to a matter.
From this, one can understand the significance of timing. All these are conditions applied in the course of human existence, and their effectiveness depends on how each individual utilizes them. This, in turn, determines whether they will benefit oneself and others in the future. Therefore, the educational cultivation within the Apricot Altar's teachings is truly extraordinary.
It must be this way: to discern whether one is truly knowledgeable and capable of inferring broader insights from a single matter, one must be able to stand in an invincible position. This requires a genuine process of reflection to yield effective practical results. But why must it be so? Consider how every person or every matter begins.
All the teachings and moral cultivation in the world.
One can then understand whether applying broad knowledge and extensive learning to infer other things from one instance brings greater benefit to oneself. Rather than being utterly ignorant of all worldly matters, which also constitutes a kind of obscuring ignorance for oneself. If such ignorance merely pertains to the necessities of life, it is understandable, as it reflects the different ways in which individuals apply their wisdom.
The fear lies in the inability to understand how one's own ignorance and obstacles arise. When one struggles to align life's direction in a way that benefits their own living space, it creates further obscurations of ignorance. Therefore, it becomes essential to comprehend the root of these issues. This understanding must be attained in the human world through what is known as the "wise discernment" of those with keen perception.
This kind of "shrewd wisdom" possessed by those with sharp eyes and cleverness stems from a type of intelligence that only the truly wise can fully attain. Within this wisdom, one can observe the entire context of a matter, and through its "calming effect on the mind," come to understand the origins and details of events. From this, one may advance to broad learning and extensive knowledge, or, by inferring from one instance to many others, gain profound understanding.
This condition necessitates the application of wisdom and intelligence to demonstrate discernment in decision-making, ensuring that one’s judgments are correct and free from error. Moreover, within such clear judgment, one must possess the keen insight and wisdom of a discerning eye. This is akin to the educational curriculum of the Apricot Altar, which serves to provide the educational efficacy for today’s schools and academies.
A person of extensive learning and broad knowledge is indeed a very intelligent individual.
Through learning and growth in the human world, one attains an upward development in their perspective on matters. This condition is rooted in education and cultivation, allowing for the manifestation of fairly authentic knowledge. In the process of such knowledge manifestation, human beings enable themselves to enter into the application of wisdom, thereby becoming endowed with it.
Therefore, for human beings to possess the wisdom of "keen perception and skillful discernment," also known as "intelligence and insight," it is essential to first meet certain fundamental conditions in the human world. Only then can such wisdom be genuinely applied in daily life, benefiting both oneself and others. Through this, one can truly understand what one has learned and how it manifests.
If one seeks only to benefit oneself, then the knowledge acquired lacks the radiance of impartiality, serving only personal gain. Such individuals, no matter how clever or sharp-eyed they may be, are incapable of shouldering any significant responsibilities. Why is this so? Because they focus solely on their own interests, utterly failing to benefit others. Such selfishness reveals a profound lack of magnanimity.
To be well-informed, one must be both erudite and wise.
Therefore, when Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon an individual, it must first weary their sinews and bones, starve their body and skin, empty their actions, and disturb their mind and spirit, subjecting them to all trials of the world to break through. For one who is truly discerning, such conditions can be met, and one may also observe how all these trials and tribulations unfold. This is aimed at determining whether one can: become a person of great public virtue?
From this, we can understand: What is the basis for being able to shoulder any significant responsibility? In the human world, it is through broad learning and the ability to draw inferences from one example that one attains authenticity for self-improvement. It is also under such conditions that one reaches the point where what is applied in the human world is precisely this, providing oneself with the foundation to undertake various important responsibilities in the future. This is authenticity.
In the journey of life, it is essential to subject oneself to trials and examinations, as this builds an innate immunity with each test. This is a necessary path toward erudition and broad knowledge. By applying these experiences to infer broader principles, one benefits from the positive, the ordinary, and the negative alike.
Extensive learning and thorough understanding are the foundation of wisdom.
To truly comprehend thoroughly: once the crux of a problem is entirely resolved, one gains the clarity to see matters with distinct understanding. This is what is referred to in the human world as the refinement of keen perception, and the growth of intelligence and wisdom. In applying all the assessments and trials bestowed by Heaven in the human realm, how then should one pass through them?
Then, before each event arises, one can observe the ins and outs of the problem, ensuring their judgment is correct. They can pass all the trials and tests of the human world truthfully, and it is believed that there are many such wise individuals in this world. Each time, they can successfully pass the repeated examinations and trials bestowed by Heaven.
Those who are truly tested by sight and color, who enter into the realm of wisdom and intelligence—are you all willing to achieve this? It is essential to pass the examination and inspection of Heaven with honesty and integrity, and not to complain or lament at the slightest trial or hardship. This reveals one's endurance; failing to do so means one cannot pass the examination and inspection. Do you understand?
Extensive learning and broad knowledge in the world,  
Drawing inferences from one example is no ordinary feat.
Knowledge accumulates through experience, paving the way for greater wisdom in the future.
Those who are clever in the eyes of the world  
Still need wisdom to guide them.
The heavens examine and test with scrutiny,  
Those who pass truthfully gain renewed fortune and wisdom.
This verse is shared among fellow human beings as mutual encouragement. It speaks to how one can accumulate in this world what is called "the skill of discerning with the eyes"—it must be grounded in genuine, personal experience to truly benefit and achieve tangible results. It is hoped that through examination and testing, everyone may genuinely attain their own upward growth, which is the true path.
Bodhisattva of the Western Scriptures
From the Western Heavenly Realm descends a revered heart,  
The Scripture of Principles ascends the platform to guide all hearts.
The Bodhisattva arrives today to take his turn on duty,  
At the end of the work, he raises a heavenly voice.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Eastern Dipper Star Lord from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the thirty-second chapter of the Great Dao Apricot Altum. This chapter truthfully records the process of extensive learning, broad knowledge, and the ability to infer from one example to others in the Celestial Book. It addresses how all individuals in the human world should apply knowledge to demonstrate themselves during examinations and trials.
Through the accumulation of experience, wisdom is nurtured and grows. In the human world, this is achieved step by step. For those who are learned, well-informed, and possess keen insight, they can infer broader truths from a single instance and apply them in practice. Such individuals are called the wise. Do we all aspire to possess such qualities? If so, it is essential to genuinely apply the growth of knowledge.
To truly integrate experience into one's own life is to draw upon wisdom in an inexhaustible manner, as it truly is. The desire to possess keen insight and skill arises from diligent study and effort, which builds a foundation of broad knowledge and deep understanding. This enables one to comprehend how to infer broader principles from a single instance. It is not merely about empty slogans; one must genuinely put it into practice to truly benefit oneself.

The Vast Cosmos, The Star Lord of the Western Dipper
The virtue of the cosmic horizon leaves no doubt; the Lord of the Western Dipper descends at the appointed time.
The thirty-third chapter of the Great Way Xingtan:  
The foundation of division of labor in various skills.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Various Techniques, Specialized Division of Labor
Specialized Division of Labor in Various Technical Fields
From the perspective of survival in the human world, when sentient beings enter a specialized field of learning and growth, they are distinguished by their breadth of knowledge and ability to infer broader principles from specific examples, or by their expertise in particular technical skills and division of labor. Across various industries and specialized fields, through diverse inventions, innovations, and human effort, distinct professions emerge.
By engaging with various fields, one can achieve greater expertise in different industries and specialized skills. Such capability necessitates training through diverse specialized techniques and educational curricula in schools or colleges. Only under these conditions can the importance of future specialized skills and division of labor be established, distinguishing between different disciplines.
These conditions are based on the premise of survival in the current era, and it is through this lens that we assess whether individuals become leaders in various professions and fields. The distinction lies in the application of worldly wisdom and the choices made for survival, which in turn shape how different professions become the pursuits of all humanity.
Specialized skills: are acquired through learning across various different industries, and then
There are various fields of learning. In the human world, according to the laws of survival, those who excel in their respective professions can be referred to as "daren" (experts). In the past, they were also called "zhuanjia" (specialists). These are the contemporary terms used in human society to denote the masters of their trades.
Mastery of specialized skills in all trades and professions creates excellence.
Moreover, such titles are specific to each profession: within every industry, there exists specialized expertise. In the human world, it is often said that "every trade has its master." To stand out from the crowd, one must possess knowledge and apply it across different specialized fields, which leads to significant growth. Only then can one be called a "master or expert." How, then, does one achieve this?
All must undergo a period of learning and growth, followed by a considerable span of exploration. Moreover, one must apply great diligence to conduct specialized research into their own expert field and various product items. This is akin to the technological era of today, where all products follow a similar path: they begin as mere rough drafts, to be refined and perfected in the future.
In the saying "every trade has its master," those who are called "experts or masters" have endured considerable hardship to accumulate experience and knowledge. Only then can they become outstanding figures in their field, developing specialized skills and emerging as the top talents and elites of their profession.
When it comes to human factors, one can achieve a kind of worldly experiential knowledge through all one's efforts, which can be applied to daily life. This not only benefits oneself but also brings blessings to others. As for whether such outstanding individuals can attain a good reputation and receive due rewards? That is not necessarily guaranteed!
Every trade has its master.
Each individual's achievements will span different domains and scopes. If an industry involves products that are more popular or in high demand, it tends to gain greater recognition. Conversely, when a field is highly specialized but less favored, it may not be considered essential by the majority of humanity. If there is also limited desire for it among people, its visibility and returns will diminish significantly.
Precisely because these originate from distinct domains of knowledge, each requiring specialized expertise, they can be distinguished as more or less favored. Those that are more favored tend to be widely cherished by humanity, garnering greater recognition and yielding substantial returns.
If it is not something that ordinary people would favor, one would only think of this "expert or specialist" product when in need. As for the dedicated expertise involved, how can one discern from various industries whether it can accumulate wealth or merely provide basic sustenance?
It distinguishes the products of many different industries, and under such conditions, it can achieve a level of specialized skill. Thus, whether a product is crafted with care, whether it is specialized, whether it is refined, whether it is beloved by people, and even each individual's fortune are all interconnected. Moreover, through the division of labor across various industries, it caters to the desires and preferences of all humanity.
Experts in various fields are also specialists.
To understand how products in such specialized industries can become popular, it is not necessarily straightforward! Different fields involve various specialized technologies, which can be leveraged for one's own benefit and for the welfare of humanity. It is through dedicated human effort and breakthroughs in a particular technology that progress is achieved and advancements are made across different domains.
Even a modest reputation can spread, and it becomes clear that word-of-mouth among people often surpasses media dissemination. Through such oral transmission, favorable reputations and reviews emerge, elevating individuals across various fields to the status of "specialists or experts." This represents a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit.
Word-of-mouth communication among people often holds greater appeal than media promotion. When such interpersonal dissemination is not feasible, it becomes necessary to amplify publicity through media channels. This approach can rapidly build recognition in a short period, representing a promotional strategy widely employed in the contemporary era.
Indeed! In the early days of human society, it was like this: people understood that word-of-mouth communication among individuals could build a strong and high reputation. This could be used to promote specialized skills across various fields. Once such skills were publicized through media in the world and further spread by word of mouth among people, they would gain excellent and widespread recognition.
Skillfully using media to enhance high visibility.
Therefore, to achieve high visibility and make a significant impact, it is essential to possess genuine specialized skills, ensuring that others cannot easily catch up. Under such conditions, it is necessary to manage with dedication and promote with care, so that everyone can understand and aspire to the appeal of your products.
This kind of specialized technology must, in its practice, genuinely benefit all living beings. Only after it is embraced and appreciated by humanity can it gain widespread recognition and promotion. With such genuine benefits, it will yield corresponding rewards. This is how specialized technologies are distinguished across various professions: every field has its masters, and each industry follows this principle.
Observing the current era, media promotion is a method to rapidly accumulate favorable and high visibility. In fact, it should be understood that every "financial conglomerate" today has emerged from nothing. In the past, through the groping in ignorance, they also leveraged media promotion to establish a strong and positive reputation, benefiting both themselves and others.
To effectively promote a specialized skill or proprietary product and achieve high visibility, one can draw upon the experiences of others to understand the true opportunities for genuine promotion. By disseminating and advancing it within the professional field, experts or specialists in this domain will reap abundant rewards.
The media promotes fabrications out of thin air.
This concept uses the present era as a metaphor, distinguishing specialized divisions of labor or exclusive products in human society as a form of virtuous promotion. Through such promotion, humanity continuously aspires toward it, and from this aspiration emerges enduring operational methods that become deeply embedded in the collective memory of humankind.
As long as one holds to the correct direction, there will be no mistakes. Along the way, it is inevitable that there will be difficulties that must be overcome through human effort, for if the path were too smooth, there would be no fighting spirit. Moreover, all of this must be built upon a solid and lasting foundation of excellent reputation and high visibility.
Just as every religion spreads its teachings, it is through such means that a kind of "creation out of nothing, and promotion from existence" propagation is achieved. Only in this way can various specialized experts or masters in specific fields, as well as exclusive products, rapidly accumulate a strong and high reputation. It is essential to cherish these hard-won fruits.
It requires dedicated effort to truly promote a good reputation. This is a commendable approach in the human world, but it depends on whether those in charge possess such vision. Or are they merely ordinary people who desire high renown but, fearing to act upon it, hesitate—and how will this affect future outcomes?
Love claims a solitary place in human life,  
Just as plants and trees live out their own existence.
Human beings, with wisdom, can achieve different forms of assistance.
Ridiculous is the revelation of heaven's design,  
Which only waits for one's own deeds to align.
If one can clearly understand this opportunity,  
They will surely be chosen by the financial consortium in the future.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all human beings. For all worldly pursuits—be it exclusive products, specialized skills, or various refined professions—whether one can adopt a holistic marketing perspective depends entirely on understanding the breadth of vision held by those in charge. How the future unfolds can thus be clearly discerned from the present moment.
The Bodhisattva of the Western Path's Expansion
The Western World descends upon us,  
To propagate and uphold the Dao is the fundamental cause.
Bodhisattvas gather with divine beings,  
All united as one with a common purpose.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening. Today, the Lord of the Western Dipper from the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the thirty-third chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, elucidating specialized techniques and the division of labor. It addresses how to promote specialized skills or experts and masters in specific fields, as well as exclusive products.
How can we effectively utilize modern media for promotion? With high visibility, efforts can yield double the results. It is essential to understand that what is favored by the masses must also be praised in the human world to be considered genuine. Within this lies the key to future growth: whether one possesses such vision and magnanimity.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, all ferry services will operate as usual, and the academic results of the 21st batch of returning scholars from the Wuji Dadao Academy will also be announced. Therefore, it is only proper to sincerely congratulate those who have returned. Tomorrow evening, the Zen master will hold another class. Whether one can attend or is unavailable is a matter of personal choice, yet it will also serve as a basis for future advancement.

The Great Cosmos, the Lord of the Northern Dipper
The vast cosmos stretches across the celestial horizon,  
The Lord of the Northern Dipper descends in auspicious presence.
The thirty-fourth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan: The Era of Universal Education and Technology
Chapter 34: Universal Education, Civilization and Technology
Promoting education, civilization, and technology.
As the human world entered the 21st century, it began to witness the evolution of civilization and technology. Under such conditions, for the sentient beings of humanity, through the widespread dissemination of education and moral cultivation, the advancement of civilization and technology has been further elevated. This progress, in turn, stems from the "teachings of the Apricot Altar," which have given rise to the classification and specialization of various professions, enabling growth and implementation.
In the current era, educational curricula are divided into numerous specialized disciplines. This form of civilization fosters invention and creativity, which in turn benefits humanity by enhancing comfort, convenience, and accessibility. As these comforts and conveniences become widespread, they offer significant evolutionary benefits to all human beings, driving progress toward even greater levels of comfort, convenience, and universal accessibility.
The progress of all humanity stems from the pursuit of personal enjoyment. Following this benefit, the past spiritual attainments—clairvoyance, clairaudience, and supernatural mobility—have transformed into today's technological artifacts. While these have brought people closer in physical distance, they have simultaneously deepened the sense of alienation and estrangement between individuals.
It is precisely by driving technological civilization forward, and under such conditions for every human being,
Life, upon entering this realm of time and space, has already transcended past karmic ties by a great measure. Moreover, through the evolution of this civilization, the conditions for achieving a higher civilization in the human world have only just begun to take shape. There remains vast room for effort in the future.
The universality of Xingtan education.
To understand the future of technological civilization, there remains a considerable distance and much effort yet to be made. While these technologies are still in their infancy and far from reaching full maturity, the human world’s capacity for "divine locomotion" (shentong) has not yet reached even one ten-thousandth of what was achieved in past cosmic cycles. What, then, is the reason for this?
This approach utilizes the civilization of the present era to advance the universalization of education across human society, which is indeed necessary. Education today is divided into various disciplines, evolving in a way that can be compared to the civilizations of past periods. It is precisely through such forward-looking mutual reinforcement that the progress of civilization and technology arises from the widespread dissemination of education and enlightenment.
Under such conditions, within the human world, all civilizations are provided with fair and equal opportunities for humanity, enabling all sentient beings to access educational and instructional courses. This serves to eliminate the historical barriers of illiteracy in the human realm. It may be said that the "Apricot Altar" represents the very process of education and cultivation carried out by today's schools or academies.
It will bring forth a wealth of knowledge and civilization that greatly benefits humanity. Within this framework of knowledge and civilization, it will elevate the accumulated experiences that were previously lacking. Moreover, with the "implantation of borrowed talents" from extraterrestrial civilizations, the genetic essence of humanity will be transformed. This process involves evolving DNA to enhance the superior genes within RNA.
The Apricot Altar is an institution dedicated to cultivating professional talents.
The advancement of civilization is cultivated and transformed step by step, and within this evolution of civilization, there arises a substantial and authentic benefit. The progress of human civilization lies in eliminating the conditions that were once difficult to achieve due to widespread illiteracy in the past. It is precisely through such elevation in the human world that the very foundation of all civilization is further evolved.
It can be understood that these early civilizations removed the limitations and obstacles that had previously constrained humanity, making such civilizational evolution essential. This allowed human society, under the conditions of that time and space, to establish a relatively advanced foundational framework. Moreover, before the advancements of civilization and technology could further propel human evolution, such a foundation was indispensable.
Reflecting on the cultures of the past and the civilizations of the future, it is evident that significant evolution has taken place. Thus, the present human world can be seen merely as a creation of pioneering civilizations. Whether this world will endure into the next one or two thousand years, or persist even longer, remains uncertain.
In the future, survival technology will involve transplanting all "eight consciousness seeds." After the physical body perishes, there arises the necessity for replication, particularly for those of superior genetic lineages, enabling them to endure across future time and space. However, the current state of this replicative engineering, driven by such causes and conditions, remains far from perfected.
Human civilization begins with education under the apricot altar.
However, in the future, these advancements will be able to improve all detrimental genetic occurrences in the human world. Even within cancerous tumors, they will transform into another form of existence within the body. This civilization represents yet another evolution in medical technology, where humanity will enhance the therapeutic effects on the body through "pill and liquid" medical technologies.
Furthermore, this medical technology will enable the extraction of "dark matter," which involves implanting these advancements of medical civilization into the superior species preserved in the current era. This is an inevitable step in the process of universal education, and it also represents an improvement in the physical aspects of "cloned human species" through medical technology.
The emergence of semi-cyborgs or full cyborgs—a development likely to be witnessed within the next fifty years—raises profound questions about the long-term survival of humanity. Will it enable enduring existence, or merely perpetuate the cyclical patterns of rebirth? This distinction lies at the heart of all choices regarding the direction of human life.
Due to the declining birth rate among human beings, the population growth in the human world will gradually decrease. As a result, the expansion of related issues within the space of the Earth-Ming Star will be mitigated. This will lead to the emergence of a future human race that is more advanced and noble, precisely shaped by these underlying causes.
All medical technologies are to be universally educated and popularized.
It is essential to understand that by extracting "dark matter resources" and cultivating all "nether matter resources," the moral standards of human beings in the replication of races will be altered. In the future, these measures will become inevitable. Moreover, such conditions of causality are precisely what preserve the essence of favorable genes for evolution.
Regarding the entire Earth-Ming planetary space, all superior species with favorable survival orientations will have many virtuous genes preserved, and this protects the overall improvement of all human races within the Earth-Ming planetary space. This can be verified, and it is indeed absolutely true. Only then can there be a creation of considerable authenticity to change all current limitations.
This kind of circumstance is achieved through the evolutionary effect revealed by technology for each batch of these "borrowed talents" civilizations. It leads to considerable civilizational progress, and this will inevitably continue in the future. This borrowing of civilizational technology will only manifest after the universalization of education in the Xingtan schools.
Preventing Technological Disorder from Causing Disasters
In this evolution towards a higher civilization, it is essential for humanity to understand how the cultivation of such civilizational genetic essence takes place. Moreover, following the advancement under these civilizational conditions, it will inevitably bring about the resolution and transformation of all calamities in the human world—ones that can be eliminated through the application of high-tech civilization.
It is also possible to transplant certain extraterrestrial meteorites using the principle of "using minimal force to redirect great force," thereby avoiding harm to all living beings within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star. For such a civilization, the foundation must first be established through "Apricot Altar education," and it must be guided by moral regulations. Only then can it prevent the emergence of technological advancements that later become difficult to restrain, leading to adverse shifts in the collective human spirit.
It is precisely to guard against the loss of control in technology that it is necessary to establish a solid foundation through education and the cultivation of civilization in the academic sphere. Within this civilization, priority must be given to the implementation of the "New Three Bonds." This is essential. That is to say, for all of humanity, why must the norms of the "New Three Bonds" be implemented? Can everyone understand this?
The Apricot Altar is the cradle for nurturing outstanding talents.
It is precisely by evolving from the past—through the four dimensions, five constants, and eight virtues—into more advanced moral frameworks that we can address the evolution of future civilization without generating adverse effects. Humanity, within this evolving civilization, elevates the deficiencies and shortcomings of the past millennia, thereby aiming for a benevolent civilization that transcends the entire outer space.
From this point onward in the human world, once mutual contact is established, it becomes understood that human beings do not exist solely within the living space inhabited by humanity. Through the exchange of information under such conditions, the mysteries of the entire universe begin to unfold, thereby expanding the realm of human knowledge.
This convergence of time and circumstance is destined to arrive within decades, or at most centuries. Will humanity be able to endure into that future era? Not necessarily! Some may, while others may not—and indeed, the majority may not. Only a small portion will persist, making the necessity of "replicating the human species" evident.
In different times and spaces of karma, education spreads and knowledge flourishes.
Under the Apricot Altar, countless teachings unfold,  
Nurturing growth in ways both varied and untold.
To replicate all things is imperative,  
For karma endures and virtue renews.
Looking back on today from a thousand years hence,  
I sigh at how time and space never cease their flow.
This verse is shared among all human beings to encourage one another. Whether we can, through the writings of this piece, embark on a path of upward growth rather than downward decline, and whether we can distinguish what endures for millennia, tens of thousands of years, or even billions of years in our evolution, will reveal the entire progression of human civilization.
It is precisely through the education of the Apricot Altar that we inherit the legacy of all pioneers of civilization's evolution. How, then, can we adopt a broader vision to secure long-term benefits? It is also essential to guard against the disasters caused by the disorder of technology, which requires preparation that surpasses the current state of technological civilization. To achieve this, moral regulation must be implemented—this is the right path.
Western Bodhisattva Daoyan
The Western world descends in arrival,  
The Dao explores truth, refreshing and joyful to the heart.
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform to meet divine beings;  
All gather joyfully to welcome this auspicious celebration.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Emperor of the Northern Dipper from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, elucidating the widespread dissemination of education, civilization, and technology, and expounding on the evolution of all civilizations in the human world. These teachings are aimed at fostering the growth of future civilizations.
How can we achieve greater enhancement and transcendence? It is essential to first establish the concept of "replication" to avoid being confined by the moral concepts of the human world. If we remain bound by past notions, we will be unable to break through such limitations, which will inevitably hinder the advancement of medical technology and other technological civilizations from reaping the benefits.
The reason why the population will continue to decline in the future is precisely due to numerous natural disasters and human calamities, which are the true primary factors. Human beings must understand the dreadfulness of such calamities, which evolve with each cyclical change. It is an inevitable aspect of human survival, and one must recognize that this world is not a place for permanent residence.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. It is hoped that the "Teacher Training" course will establish a fundamental framework essential for future propagation and education. It should also develop regulations for the future to ensure authenticity. We look forward to everyone joining in to learn and grow together!

The Great Cosmos, the Star Lord of the Southern Dipper
Throughout the vast cosmos of stars and realms,  
The Lord of the Southern Dipper descends at the appointed time.
The Thirty-fifth Assembly of the Great Way at the Apricot Altar: Civilization and Technology Rely on the Apricot Altar.
Chapter 35: Civilization and Technology, Education at the Apricot Altar
The foundation of civilization and technology lies in the necessity for education to be universally accessible.
The survival orientation of sentient beings in the human world necessarily relies on various professions for sustenance, which also serves as the basis for obtaining monetary rewards. From the perspective of all human beings, the conditions supported by different trades and professions give rise to diverse products emerging in this world, offering choices for humanity.
In this world, there are various new products designed to make human life more comfortable and convenient, thereby popularizing such lifestyles. Under these conditions, it becomes necessary to distinguish the contributions of civilization and technology, which must be fostered through education and moral instruction in various schools. In ancient times, this role was fulfilled by what was known as the "Apricot Altar."
Also at the Apricot Altar: Through all educational curricula, we enter the era of civilization and technology. The education of the Apricot Altar can thus promote the evolution of civilization and technology. Precisely because various forms of the Apricot Altar serve as places for nurturing talents, it is on this foundation of cultivating such talents that educational experience is essential, serving as the legacy passed down through teaching.
Such conditions necessitate the guidance of predecessors from various disciplines to instruct future generations.
Students, in the present era, various technological civilizations are distinguished, and there are also different disciplines where predecessors teach the most fundamental foundational courses. This enables diverse technical professionals to inherit and disseminate the accumulated experiences across various fields of study.
Civilization and technology both originate from the education of the Apricot Altar.
If there are no predecessors to provide guidance, it becomes necessary to independently establish various research and innovations across different disciplines. Through this process of exploration, one can come to understand that the creation of diverse technological and civilizational artifacts is precisely what humanity aspires to, leading to the emergence of superior products.
Across various disciplines, each advancement in technological civilization is achieved through exploration and research, which then serves as the foundation for future achievements in this field. It is within this process of exploration that diverse borrowed civilizations are refined, thereby elevating the various technological civilizations of the human world.
It is through exploration and subsequent research and invention that the practice of "borrowing talent" is facilitated, leading to innovation and creation. By then introducing the advanced ideas and concepts previously developed in other star systems into the human world, this approach to civilization and education fosters further research and invention, enabling the creation of highly refined products.
This refined product serves as a benchmark for human aspiration. It also addresses past deficiencies in the evolution of civilization, making refinement necessary. Through further exploration, the resulting items draw upon the study of civilization's progress to improve flawed products.
Exploring, researching, inventing, and transforming shortcomings.
It is precisely within the human world, through the study of evolution, that more refined products can be developed and perfected, benefiting all humanity. Moreover, such conditions are often built upon the foundation laid by education and cultivation in the realm of learning, which serves as a solid and authentic groundwork. In this process of foundation-building, a steady and steadfast approach is essential.
Through the evolution of civilization across the ages, we can observe that the advancement of technology in the present era has progressed by leaps and bounds, advancing thousands or even tens of thousands of miles each day. This condition arises from continuous research, invention, and creation in the human world, where high-tech products are renewed day by day, moving toward ever more groundbreaking horizons, and giving rise to an endless stream of innovations and transformations.
There will be more advanced civilizations and technologies, resulting from research, invention, and creation through the "borrowing of talents" effect. Combined with the cultivation and education provided by today's "Apricot Altar: schools," this will bring even greater benefits to humanity. All such civilizational progress in the world continues to grow day by day.
It is precisely each day that new products emerge one after another, and in the human world, there exists a highly advanced technological civilization. Such conditions provide a fundamental basis for the educational system in the human realm, and under these circumstances, every individual must undergo the basic curriculum of this educational framework.
Borrowing civilization to reshape human genes
Afterwards, various professions were further distinguished, leading to the formation of a relatively civilized and technologically advanced human society. This also gave rise to many "borrowed talents" who remained largely unknown. Through their research, inventions, and innovations, they gradually altered the genetic makeup of humanity, ultimately elevating the very essence of human genes.
On one hand, it involves altering the genetic makeup of humanity, while on the other, it entails researching and inventing new products that emerge from evolution, benefiting the world. It becomes clear that humanity borrows from these advancements to create and innovate products. Through education in the academic sphere and dedicated research, expertise in various fields can be cultivated.
The mastery of various professions can be referred to as "expertise or mastery," and it also brings renown within each field. Thus, the cultivation of diverse high-tech talents through human civilization and technology necessitates, under such conditions of cause and effect, a higher standard of quality in all aspects of education in the human world.
The foundation of education lies in the civilization, science, and the spirit of the Apricot Altar.
In the future, this will cultivate and create outstanding high-tech talents. In the human world, across different times and spaces, various high-tech civilizations can emerge and thrive, relying on the solid foundation laid through all forms of education in the academic sphere. This foundation is precisely what will lead to visible achievements in the years to come.
In all fields of study and disciplines, it is essential to incorporate this approach into foundational education. Only then can the evolution of all human civilizations and the enhancement of human welfare be realized. Such foundational education, which benefits all, truly manifests in the progress of human civilization through the teachings imparted in the "Apricot Altar" schools.
In the evolution of civilization within the human world, it is essential to understand that the foundation of all technology is implemented quietly and anonymously among humanity, as if through borrowing. This resembles the grace of Heaven, embodying a kind of "non-action as true non-action." Under such extraordinary conditions and affinities, the grace of Heaven simultaneously descends and permeates the human realm.
The virtue and grace of Heaven descend to transform the human world.
Can we learn to emulate the boundless grace of Heaven and bring it down to transform the human world, allowing all civilizations to evolve in a state of genuine non-action? This is the compassionate virtue extended by all celestial immortals, buddhas, holy deities, bodhisattvas, and exalted beings. It is also the unfolding of the cosmos, descending to enlighten humanity. Whether such a structure and practice can be achieved is akin to the way of Heaven and Earth: truly non-acting.
It is through such unheralded research, invention, and creation that we ascend to a higher civilization and technology, which is precisely what is enacted by all "true non-action" in the human world. This also enables the Chongxin lineage to comprehend how all "true non-action" in this world operates, thereby allowing for the creation of broader education and enlightenment.
It is precisely through this that one enters the state, level, and fruition of the "Lotus Buddha Land Pure Realm"—a state of "true non-action" that is interconnected with heaven and earth, the cosmos, emptiness, and the infinite. This serves as a means to elevate, return, and transcend, advancing toward the Lotus Buddha Land, and further ascending to the "Treasure Pure Realm of Emptiness and Reality."
Education at the Apricot Altar is the foundation of all things,  
Where every human being follows their own destined path.
Research and invention bring forth creation,  
Exquisite products rely on mutual interdependence.
A lifetime in the human world is truly effortless,  
Just like the true essence of heaven and earth.
It is essential to have a clear and thorough explanation,  
so that this opportunity may be fully realized.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings: by taking the education of the Apricot Altar as the foundation of civilization and technology, one can understand that the high-tech talents sent down by Heaven as "borrowed generals" all engage in research, invention, and creation in obscurity. They align with the virtuous blessings of all cosmic transformations and, in true non-action, accomplish their missions.
Bodhisattva of Western Literary Grace
The Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West,  
Where literary grace blossoms from a wondrous brush.
Today the Bodhisattva gathers with divine beings,  
At the Apricot Altar, technology brings blessings and creation.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, the Great Emperor of the Southern Dipper from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of the Great Dao Xingtan, taking the education of civilization, science, and technology as the fundamental driving force for achievement. For the human world, this is indeed essential—it is about establishing a solid foundation through education.
The Apricot Altar is similarly founded upon education and moral cultivation, and so it is with the Chongxin Sect lineage. One must understand that the heavens above send down technological talents to conduct research and inventions, all of which are created in obscurity before emerging. It can be said that all of this aligns with the "non-action" of cosmic evolution, thereby attaining the state of "true non-action."
Through such conditions, the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect enters the state of "True Non-Action," which is the fundamental function of the interconnected guidance of the Immortals and Buddhas. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all forms of guidance will proceed as usual. All students are welcome to come and learn for their growth, as this will provide genuine assistance and reliance for their future, enabling them to transcend and advance in their journey ahead.

The Great Cosmos, the Lord of the Central Dipper Star.
The cosmic stars reveal celestial secrets,  
The Star Lord of the Central Dipper descends in auspicious form.
Thirty-six chapters of the Great Way in the Apricot Altum,  
Education and tradition continue unceasingly.
Chapter 36: The Teaching at the Apricot Altar, Enduring and Far-Reaching
How can the teachings of the Apricot Altar endure and be passed down through the ages?
Human beings in the world inherently possess a foundation for education and cultivation. From the perspective of human society, this foundation is established through education and cultivation. It is also essential for masters and experts in various professions to undergo this process of cultivation, through which they achieve their own diligent efforts and pass down such experiences to educate future generations.
This kind of education for future generations is precisely a virtuous legacy that endures and extends far and wide. It is built upon the foundation of moral cultivation and grounded in the transmission of human traditions. Moreover, such education benefits descendants, serving as the primary causal force behind all human inheritance, thereby fostering upward growth through learning.
For a novice, this form of learning, through a period of time, fosters growth and accumulates experience. Such experience can be applied to daily life, bringing tangible benefits. It can be said that this constitutes a highly advantageous form of edification, and through this edifying and educational effect, it achieves a truly wholesome outcome.
In this world, there can be truly remarkable benefits, as the experiences of predecessors are passed down to guide future generations.
Transmission, in this context, refers to a process passed down from generation to generation, ensuring a continuous and enduring legacy for future descendants. From a human perspective, this allows for an unbroken cycle of inheritance, where transmission also serves an educational function.
Advantages of Educational Popularization for Growth and Enhancement
It is precisely the complementary functions of education that achieve wholeness, wherein the transmission of accumulated experience to future generations establishes a foundation for a stable and comfortable life. Within this framework of stability and comfort, human civilization and technology evolve. Furthermore, in the present era, all educational institutions—namely schools and academies—have made education and cultivation more widespread and accessible.
In the future, human beings will possess more advanced education and cultivation than the present era. In today's age, it is necessary to attend "educational institutions, schools, or colleges" to acquire knowledge. However, in the future, this will transform the universal accessibility of education across the world. It will become a form of advanced civilization that enables the replication of knowledge.
This kind of knowledge and experience need not be acquired through learning and growth at places like the Apricot Altar, schools, or academies. Instead, by leveraging the principle of "borrowing and innovating," one can achieve comprehensive learning and development right at home. This approach serves as mutual support in acquiring knowledge, while also fostering growth through the insights and experiences borrowed from others.
It can transform the present moment. If rote learning in schools were more advanced, it would not suffer from the criticisms leveled at today's educational systems. Instead, it could directly adopt a replicable approach, allowing individuals to benefit from it. Within the context of civilized technology, this would make it thousands of times more advanced than all current educational cultures.
Xingtan Education is the foundation of human knowledge.
Therefore, in the human world, we can develop the "full-brain application," which serves as a fundamental mechanism for acquiring deeper and broader knowledge over the long term. Through the transmission of video and information via telecommunications, we can better leverage the benefits of current computer equipment. However, within a certain period, this will inevitably render current computer video technology obsolete—a change that is both necessary and inevitable.
Direct communication through "telepathy" allows for the evolution of a more advanced civilization. Within the past century, it has become essential to cultivate professionals specialized in the technology of civilization. By integrating diverse fields of expertise, the creation of an even more advanced civilization has been achieved. In this very era, all existing civilizations have been surpassed.
It is precisely through such borrowed innovations that greater growth and benefits can be brought to the present human world. Moreover, it is essential for cultural pioneers to embrace this mindset, as it will lead to the emergence of greater civilization and technology, showcasing itself in the current era. This convergence of circumstances is bound to be realized in the coming years.
As we now live in a global village where all knowledge is interconnected, the application of such knowledge will be boundless. This has given rise to a "borrowing of expertise" civilization in human society. Following inventions and innovations, it becomes essential to refine and correct all shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors in the world. This process is not only necessary for improvement but also elevates the progress of all civilizations across humanity.
The Implementation of the New Three Bonds Benefits Humanity
It is essential to guard against the unchecked advancement of technological civilization, which may overstep moral boundaries. Why then does Heaven mandate the "Chongxin Lineage" to implement the "New Three Bonds" for propagation? Precisely to refine the Four Principles, Five Constants, and Eight Virtues, thereby forming the twelve tenets: Filial Piety, Fraternal Respect, Loyalty, Trustworthiness, Propriety, Righteousness, Integrity, Shame, Wisdom, Benevolence, Courage, and Harmony.
To categorize these into the four dimensions, five constants, and eight virtues for construction aligns precisely with the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, enabling the use of media in the 21st century to propagate morality throughout the world. Therefore, it has recently been decreed by Shangcang that the sublime mission of disseminating the True Buddha Heart School is now officially promulgated in accordance with these authentic conditions.
Although conducted through a bidding process, this initiative is open to all religions worldwide, with over thirty regions eligible to participate. Such conditions, aimed at global propagation, represent an essential and extraordinary mission. It is precisely through these exceptional conditions that the True Buddha Heart School has gained the affirmation of the Heavenly Realm.
Regarding the implementation of all future "New Three Bonds," these elements—the Four Principles, Eight Virtues, and Five Constants—are further consolidated into the Twelve Guidelines. This applies to all descendants of Yan and Huang across the entire Earthly Realm, and is aimed at the propagation and promotion of all traditions: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, as well as all emerging religions.
Cultural heritage benefits humanity in the long term.
A new trend has emerged, presenting a challenge to all deities and followers of Chongxin: how to propagate its teachings across the Central Plains and Taiwan, and further extend them to the nations and regions inhabited by the descendants of Yan and Huang. To achieve this, it becomes essential to implement the "New Three Bonds" and the "Twelve Articles," which shall be proclaimed to the world from the Apricot Altar.
The Great Way spreads its teachings across all nations under heaven, undertaking this enduring and profound mission. Observe how the True Buddha Heart School propagates these divine decrees established by Heaven—this is a truly remarkable affinity, implemented and constructed within the human world.
This is carried out in alignment with all humanity, under the affirmation and appreciation of the Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Mystical and Exalted God, in a manner that aligns with the future well-being of all sentient beings, thereby reducing many man-made calamities. Such an approach, advancing step by step, is the true path, and it is implemented with practical substance.
Why is it necessary to establish the "Chongxin University of Humanities and Technology" within the True Buddha Heart School for the educational propagation of Xingtan? It is to elevate the education of all adults, which is imperative. This will be achieved by integrating with all eighty-one regular universities in the human world, thereby educating, enlightening, and passing on knowledge to all humanity.
Xingtan educates all living beings among humanity.
Thus, the essence of all five teachings can be applied to promote the "New Three Guiding Principles" and the "Twelve Articles." This can be achieved by utilizing all the world's 81 regular universities to develop comprehensive educational curricula, as well as disseminating the establishment of the New Three Guiding Principles and the implementation of the Twelve Articles throughout all communities.
This aligns with the implementation of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Dimensions, and Eight Virtues. Therefore, the True Buddha Heart School will propagate its teachings far and wide in the future, advancing steadily with each step, leaving a firm footprint at every turn. It will promote the New Three Bonds and Twelve Principles, which entails first establishing and promoting the moral framework of human society.
Regarding future technological civilization, it is possible to prudently guard against the loss of control over high technology. After humanity enjoys its benefits, there can be genuine elevation and transcendence in mind, spirit, and body, thereby reducing the disasters caused by the runaway development of technological civilization. This lies precisely in the "ethical and moral regulations," which form the fundamental framework.
As humanity evolves in civilization, it is imperative to prevent all high-tech acts of slaughter, as these inevitably lead to mutual antagonism. Precisely because this promotion is essential, can everyone understand? Thus, the divine has taken preemptive measures, averting in advance the potential loss of control over past technological civilizations, thereby guarding against future calamities.
This is a profound karmic bond in the human world,  
Thus I compose this piece to honor the lineage of the Chongxin tradition.
The new three bonds are established and implemented,  
The twelve articles manifest virtue and morality.
The target project has been set in motion,  
The Chongxin writings are arranged by heaven.
Glory returns to the void to be enacted,  
The Way transforms the world with virtue and love.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings, presenting a greater opportunity to implement the "Great Dao Under Heaven." It is indeed an essential primary karmic vehicle, destined to be realized. In the future, the Chongxin lineage will truly establish a "collectively founded" entity, dedicated to genuinely constructing educational resources for the propagation and transformation through teaching courses.
Western Inscription on the Bodhisattva
The Western world bestows a heart of reverence,  
The unfolding of literary themes brings blessings near.
Bodhisattvas gather with divine beings,  
Together they strive to press onward.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening. Today, the Middle Dipper Star Lord from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the thirty-sixth chapter of the Great Tao Apricot Altar. This chapter elucidates the enduring essence of Apricot Altar education, analyzing its profound connections to all blessed affinities in the human realm, and implementing its objectives within the Chongxin Sect lineage.
This grand undertaking has now descended. All efforts to propagate it must be well-coordinated with high visibility for promotion. Under these conditions, it is possible to address all past limitations. A small portion of the work has already begun to be rectified. It is also hoped that students of the Chongxin lineage will start from this point: first, settle their own families well, and then expand outward.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. There will also be teacher training courses, which are absolutely essential. Through this preliminary training, we can establish a standard model for all future students, setting a benchmark to guide newcomers. This is precisely what will lead to growth and transcendence in the future. Do you understand?

The Fundamental Function of the Great Dao
Sentient beings take survival as their fundamental orientation. Within this human world, growth is guided by the laws of survival on this Earth Star. Across different nations and religions, the educational courses for humanity must first emphasize the practice of good deeds, thereby fostering universal love for all people.
The fundamental tenets of religion must be understood as essential for all orientations toward existence, representing a need inherent in every sentient being. The desires for survival and existence, as pursued by humanity, are not distinguished by any particular religion. All are manifestations of great moral grace bestowed upon the human world, differentiated across various regions and nations to guide and redeem diverse peoples.
Educational Function of the Xingtan
Under such conditions, religions such as Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism will descend to the human world to impart various conditions and causes. Within human society, they will foster different faiths, ensuring that the teachings and functions of each religion are distinct. Each religion possesses its own strengths and weaknesses, and through their interconnectedness, they collectively elevate various beliefs.
This is guided by the aspiration of the Great Way, where in the human world, faith is mutually admired and upheld. Even though different religions hold distinct beliefs about the world, they originate from the same source, thereby promoting the principle of "saving those with destined connections." In the human realm, this is applied to transform ideologies and perspectives.

The primary functions and applications of the Great Dao
Regarding all religious beliefs in the world, the survival orientation of humanity is to achieve upward growth. In this human realm, within faith, it is necessary to have a firm and loyal conviction in order to affirm one's own beliefs and to uphold the function of different religions.
The Great Dao instructional curriculum integrates the ancient wisdoms of astronomy, technology, anthropology, morality, and ethics, interweaving these five disciplines to guide contemporary humanity on how to apply this ancient civilization's knowledge in the present era.
The Fundamental Conditions for the Apricot Altar
Civilization and technology mutually assist in the evolution and advancement of humanity. With education as the foundation, future generations will also progress through this civilizational evolution, achieving transcendence in all aspects of life. How, then, can we steer this progress toward even greater refinement? It is by ensuring that all of humanity benefits from it.
It is necessary to have a "borrowed talent" civilization that transforms the genetic essence of humanity. If such transformation is not achieved through education and cultural inheritance, how then can these borrowed talents develop greater ideological perspectives? They must also, within the framework of technological civilization, apply the accumulation of knowledge and experience.
This demonstrates that the true path lies in reforming and transforming all the deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors accumulated over the past several millennia. Only through such rectification can greater growth be achieved, bringing tangible benefits to future generations of humanity and fostering genuine advancement in technological civilization. This is our utmost aspiration.

The Sublime Works of the Great Dao's Apricot Altar
Amitabha Buddha! This is a common phrase in Buddhism, practiced within the human realm, and it resides within the fundamental concepts advocated by Buddhism. Why is this so? It is because "Buddha is an awakened one," distinct from ordinary beings. Moreover, Buddhism has been propagated for over two thousand years, shaping the understanding of those who spread the faith.
Understanding the principles of the law of cause and effect in the human world, it is rare to find such clarity in other religions, as many later followers have elaborated upon and disseminated these principles and other scriptures. This has facilitated the fundamental efficacy of the "Great Dao of Cause and Effect" in the human realm.
The Apricot Altar is founded upon education and moral cultivation, addressing the past studies of humanity—ancient astronomy, ancient technology, ancient anthropology, ancient moral philosophy, and ancient ethics—to transcend the current era. It does not distinguish between different religions, allowing all to achieve mutual fulfillment and perfection.
◆ Decree ◆
完書繳旨
In the human world, what are referred to as Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Christianity, Islam, and all various emerging religions are all propagated based on these five, giving rise to many different faiths. Among these derived religions, none can depart from the fundamental doctrines of these five, yet they have further branched out into numerous offshoots.
The formation of all worldly teachings and connections fosters mutual growth. Without distinguishing among various religions, we take the Apricot Altar as our foundation to guide humanity in faith and development. In educational curricula, there should be no discrimination based on any religious belief.
In truth, all religions are established by the divine will of Heaven. The conditions for such karmic connections are propagated solely by the True Buddha Heart School, which promotes the concept of equality among the five major religions. All other religions remain confined to their individual doctrines. In the future, this will break down barriers and foster mutual integration, allowing spiritual growth and transcendence to flourish within a shared foundation of faith.

The Buddha teaches that worldly existence can be transcended;  
The Great Path, through the Apricot Altar, cultivates heavenly virtue.
大道  杏壇　跋四
The Great Dao: It is that which, in the human world, operates naturally and is implemented through all dependencies of existence. This orientation toward human life inherently gives rise to a necessary desire, one that takes the principles of human life as its foundation and guides the evolution of all civilizations for humanity.
The Great Dao: it entails transplanting the advanced technological civilizations from different cosmic cycles of the past into the human world. This can bring about comfort, convenience, and universality for all sentient beings, enabling the general populace to share in this divine grace bestowed by Heaven. It can be said that the present era is the most exceptional and splendid civilization in several millennia.
The Apricot Altar represents the fundamental essence of education. In the evolution of human civilization, it is essential to first understand how to transform the intrinsic nature of human genes in order to achieve upward growth. Without this, it becomes difficult to advance all future technological progress, which is nonetheless necessary. Moreover, how should future technology itself be further elevated?
The Apricot Altar: Through human technology, one can observe the evolutionary efficacy of all extraterrestrial civilizations. In other star systems, their evolution far surpasses that of the current Earthly Nether Star. This is a fundamental concept that all humanity must grasp: how can we transplant and borrow from these civilizations to elevate our own evolutionary progress?
The essence of the Great Way and the Apricot Altar: It is essential to make humanity clearly understand that as pioneers of high-tech civilization, great dedication must be invested. This evolution involves integrating ancient moral philosophy and ancient ethics into the course of human life, thereby preventing the loss of control that may arise from the advancement of highly civilized technology.
The essential purpose of the Great Path and the Apricot Altar is precisely to prevent the sorrow of technology spiraling out of control, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past, just as in every previous cosmic cycle—a truly helpless situation! This function is exactly what the Heavens intend, unwilling to witness the mishandling of future technological runaway again. By genuinely mastering the evolution and transcendence of high-tech civilization, we can truly benefit the welfare of all humanity.

Alas! One may truly lament the heart of Buddha's lineage, for in the past, the heavenly mysteries could not be revealed to the world. Now, all such celestial secrets can be expounded and proclaimed within the Chongxin Hall. This is the grace bestowed upon humanity by the heavens, and it serves to dissolve the past harms caused by the uncontrolled advancement of high technology, which once again afflicted sentient beings. It is essential to faithfully grasp all principles of civilizational evolution. We appreciate everyone's patience and dedication to the Chongxin lineage for this time, as we gather to discuss the future conference for spreading enlightenment. Until we meet again.
Homage to the Eastern Realm of Ultimate Bliss,  
By the Buddha Master of Medicine, thus composed.
The Chapter of General Principles on the Apricot Altar of the Great Dao: Civilization, Science and Technology, and Education are Promoted.
Guide to the Use of the Dictionary
I. The Great Dao: It takes human beings as the fundamental principle of practice and conduct, and also evolves within the human world to advance technological civilization further. For sentient humanity, this is a necessity for upward growth, requiring the establishment of moral and ethical regulations to facilitate the evolution of civilization and guide the human world.
II. The Great Dao: Regarding the laws governing human existence, the technological evolution that could not be achieved through past karma can now be realized by the Celestial Realm borrowing the future to alter the fundamental karmic nature of sentient beings, thereby creating a more transcendent realm of thought. How, then, can growth, elevation, and transcendence be attained? It is only after the Celestial Realm borrows the future that the genetic development of sentient beings can be transformed.
III. The Great Dao: It possesses fundamental principles and guidelines, and also transplants the technological civilizations achieved in past cosmic cycles into the human world. This form of transplantation directly evolves and genetically modifies sentient beings, leading to transformative genetic growth after conception—a phenomenon rarely seen in the human world throughout history.
IV. The Apricot Altar: Originally centered on private tutoring, education in the present era has evolved into a fundamental national system. With illiteracy now largely eradicated in human society, how can we impart these essential concepts to all people? It is imperative to thoroughly understand the entirety of ancient astronomy, ancient technology, and the foundational knowledge of ancient anthropology.
V. The Apricot Altar: It is through educational curricula that the evolution of human world civilization is advanced.
Having ideological concepts does not mean deviating from ethical and moral standards. This is precisely the primary function of Heaven, achieved through the educational influence of the Xingtan, which elevates all sentient beings beyond what is merely necessary. Under such conditions, as thought undergoes transformation and refinement, greater benefits will be realized.
Six. The Apricot Altar: In the human world, it is regarded as the foundation of education. This foundational education must bring substantial and genuine benefits, and it must also shape the future thoughts and concepts of all beings. It is essential to establish the norms of human ethics and morality. This is necessary in this cosmic cycle to prevent the loss of control over technological civilization, which is the correct path.
VII. The Apricot Platform of the Great Dao:  
It takes all forms of education in the human world as its foundation. For humanity today, this is merely the beginning of scientific and technological civilization. Everything must proceed step by step, leaving a solid footprint at each stage. By faithfully applying these principles and harnessing the creations of human science and technology, greater and more extensive benefits can be brought to all humanity. Only in this way can true and lasting achievements be realized.
VIII. The Great Dao Apricot Altar: It can be said that the virtue and grace of the Supreme Heavens are immensely vast. In terms of extraterrestrial technological civilization, it far surpasses that of the Earthly Nether Star. All of this must genuinely guide humanity toward upward growth in the course of life. In this current cosmic era, the human world must evolve all aspects of technological advancement.
IX. The Propagation of the Great Way in the Apricot Altar: This is the civilization bestowed by the Heavenly Realm, enabling the virtues and blessings of Heaven to be transplanted into the world of sentient beings, thereby allowing many in the present...
It can be beneficial, and it will also become clear that future technological creations will bring even greater advancements to benefit all humanity.
10. The continuous refinement of humanity's fundamental qualities in the mortal realm requires the transplantation of "borrowed general" genes into the world. Only then can genuine construction be achieved within the spatial domain of Earth and the Dark Star, merely advancing toward an outpost of high-tech civilization. All of this necessitates the shaping of much time and space, demanding a more authentic form of protective virtue and grace for all sentient beings, while also benefiting future generations of conscious life.
Eleven. Each era and space fosters the evolution of distinct civilizations, which in turn genuinely elevates the well-being of future generations. Only through such authentic progress can humanity truly benefit, thereby avoiding a scenario where technological civilization spirals out of control and forces all to start anew, as witnessed in past cosmic cycles.
Twelve, The Great Path of the Apricot Altar: The civilization of truth-aligned technology, aimed at all human beings in this space-time, must truthfully reveal the future survival orientation of these technologies. At the onset of such technology, everything is still being explored, yet it offers a considerable and truthful understanding of the grand structure of the entire cosmic void. All of this awaits verification through human technological advancement.

By decree of the Supreme Ultimate, the sacred edict descends upon Chongxin Hall to be proclaimed, as both deities and mortals bow in reverence.
Imperial Decree, Proclaimed Aloud
Respectfully received.
The Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, and her teachings for all sentient children in the mortal world are profoundly vast and significant. This is what the Mother earnestly hopes for: that all worldly education be rooted in the Great Dao, thereby creating greater and more sublime opportunities for the elevation of humanity, benefiting all sentient original spirits.
The realization of a harmonious human world is rooted in the educational mission of the Confucian school, which imparts moral virtues to future generations. To genuinely elevate this legacy, it requires a substantial and truthful enhancement. Such progress in human technological civilization within our world must be oriented toward future growth and benefit, allowing humanity to transcend through elevation and ascend to greater heights.
The Great Dao is the fundamental essence, addressing the evolution of civilization and technology in the human world, aiming to ensure that all life processes achieve substantial civilizational growth. This condition is anchored in the educational mission of the Apricot Altar as the primary cause and condition, enabling humanity in this time and space to advance, transcend, and elevate themselves further.
Sentient beings undergo a process of evolution within themselves, achieving even more sublime transcendence. Today, in Taoyuan, Taiwan, Nánshànbùzhōu (Jambudvīpa), there exists the Chongxin Hall, established under the sacred decree of the Mother's heart. Since its founding in the Bingzi year, it has been dedicated to educating and enlightening humanity. Now, it has gloriously completed the thirty-first volume of the Dadao series—Dadao Xingtan, a work of profound significance.
This merit should be rewarded to all devout deities and individuals with three thousand great merits each, as a blessing for their devotion in the future, enabling a more practical and complete realization of the human world, thereby ensuring that such endeavors are carried out more faithfully.
It was also decreed that the Immortal Maiden Fei Qiong bring two flasks of the Limitless Jade Nectar, to be added to the tea in Chongxin's cup. One cup is offered to all the Sacred Buddhas, and one cup to all the spiritual beings who have dedicated their efforts, striving to serve as the vanguard of the Great Path for Heaven.
This scene and this moment are a most sublime reward. I bow in gratitude for the grace of Heaven and the compassionate guidance of my teacher.
The Supreme Mother of the Wuji issues a sacred decree to
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Heart School of Buddhism, the Great Dao Academy of the Infinite, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month in the year Xinyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the Xu hour (7-9 PM).
We joyfully congratulate the Chongxin lineage for once again receiving the bestowed grace from the Eternal Heavenly Mother.

I shall now return to the Eternal Realm to fulfill my duties, and will visit again another day. Farewell, everyone!

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening. Today, an imperial decree has been bestowed from the Wuji, expressing full affirmation for the completion of the "Great Dao Apricot Altar." In this context, it is acknowledged that the virtuous grace of the Wuji originates from the civilization and technology of all human beings, bringing about a substantial and genuine elevation.
The Sacred Decree of the Wuji has just been promulgated. Now, the Jade Edict of the Haotian Heaven continues to be proclaimed in this hall. It commands the following from our lineage: the Wuji Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, the Wuji Japanese Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the Wuji Manjushri Bodhisattva to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Haotian Heaven twenty li away and bring it to the hall for proclamation.
It is decreed that the following of our lineage shall be dispatched: the True Lord of Destiny from the Wuji, the Imperial Lord of the City God from the Wuji, and the Venerable King of Vast Grace from the Wuji, to respectfully receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven at a distance of ten li, and escort it to the hall. All other deities, Buddhas, and students shall arrange themselves in order to await the arrival. The cultivators from the various colleges of the Wuji Great Dao Academy shall also line up in sequence to await the arrival.
Imperial Envoy of the Vast Heaven, Prime Minister Zhuge
Heaven's Envoy Descends to the Sacred Hall,  
The Prime Minister Zhuge's Virtuous Intent Proclaimed.
Thirty-one volumes of the Great Way's Apricot Altar,  
Spreading virtuous grace for the universal transformation of humanity.
By Imperial Decree, the Heavenly Jade Edict descends upon the Chongxin Lineage to proclaim, as gods and mortals bow in reverence.
The Jade Decree is hereby proclaimed and read.
Respectfully Received
The Jade Emperor, the Supreme Celestial Worthy and the Exalted God of Mystic Numen, proclaims in his sacred decree:
We, the Supreme Sovereign of the Nine and Five, observe from the Southern Continent the Chongxin Hall in Taoyuan, Taiwan. Since its establishment in the Bingzi year, the hall has commenced the compilation of the Great Tao series of celestial texts. It can be said that each volume contains genuine truths and principles, serving as an educational bond for all humanity. This has greatly elevated the growth and enlightenment of all people in the world through education and moral guidance.
Especially in the context of all worldly educational institutions, which today are centered around academies, the establishment of a foundational curriculum for all human civilizations possesses a substantial degree of authenticity and advancement. Such progress, rooted in the evolution of human civilization, fosters greater growth and benefit for all, embodying a truly substantive and genuine nature.
This kind of cause and condition, among human beings, has been genuinely elevated and transcended to a considerable extent. Now that the "Great Dao Xingtan" has been completed, it is time to finish the book and fulfill the divine mandate. Such conditions, achieved through the remarkable religious accomplishments in the human world, can only be found in the extraordinary works of the True Buddha Heart School—the Yi Chi Chong Xin Hall.
This work serves as a course of instruction for the human world, and now that it has been completed, it is fitting to reward all deities and humans for their united efforts. We are deeply pleased to grant a reward of three thousand major merits to all those who have contributed diligently throughout. For those whose contributions were insufficient, the reward shall be halved. For all in the human world, especially the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, there shall be a particularly sublime elevation.
In the future, the technological civilization within the Apricot Altar will evolve on such a foundation to create all civilizations. It is within this very opportunity that humanity's technology will inevitably reach a state where it is built upon the new Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues, and implemented throughout the entire human world—this is the true path.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystical Radiance, bestows a jade edict upon
The Sacred Teachings of Confucianism, the True Buddha Heart School, the Great Hall of the Ultimate Way, the Chongxin Hall by Imperial Decree.
On the fifth day of the eleventh lunar month in the year Xinyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of Xu.
Alas! Truly for the sake of all living beings under heaven, we come to revere the unparalleled lineage of the Chongxin Sect. To be blessed with such a rare and profound celestial opportunity, advocating for this virtuous grace in the human realm, is precisely what elevates the extraordinary karmic affinities of all humanity.
The Old Immortal has repeatedly come to Chongxin to bestow the Jade Decree. Each time, we are profoundly moved by the boundless grace and virtue of Heaven, and we also express gratitude on behalf of all sentient beings for Chongxin's exceptional writings, which will benefit future generations. Today, due to time constraints, the Old Immortal must swiftly return to the Heavenly Court to deliver the decree. We shall meet again another day. Farewell, everyone.
True Buddha Heart Lineage, Righteous Chairman  
Void Supreme Master
The True Buddha establishes the Heart School,  
The Supreme One beyond the Void.
Ascend the platform to deliver the teaching; the Jade Decree has been fully revealed.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Institute, good evening. Today, the Sacred Decree from the Wuji and the Jade Edict from the Heavenly Court have been fully received. Due to the tight schedule for the proclamation of the Wuji Sacred Decree, the initial ceremony for receiving the decree was shortened. It is necessary to supplement the ceremony to properly honor the virtuous grace bestowed by the Wuji Sacred Decree.
Now, the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and the Jade Edict of the Haotian have all been promulgated. The efforts of all deities and beings in Chongxin are truly extraordinary, having reached the point of earning praise for the virtuous grace of Heaven. This grants Chongxin such an opportunity for fulfillment, while also fostering growth and elevation in the human realm, providing all sentient beings with wholesome and beneficial blessings.
Under these conditions, it is essential to promulgate the New Three Bonds within the human realm, establishing them as the educational foundation for future generations of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains. Moreover, all profound affinities and conditions must be channeled into the Chongxin lineage, requiring everyone to collaborate with media dissemination. This will bring transformative educational courses to the human world, fostering significant growth and favorable circumstances.
Further instruction: The celestial book of the thirty-second volume of the Great Dao series will be presented on the fifteenth day of the Jia month in the year Xin Mao. An incense altar will be set up in front of the hall (to respectfully receive the descent of the Sacred Decree and the Jade Decree. During this period, everyone must devote great care and attention, and fully understand the "Teacher Training and Education Program." Is that clear? With gratitude for your efforts today, we shall now conclude. Farewell, everyone!
