Dadao Series — Book 36
English Edition · 大道一家
◆ Prefaces ◆
If humanity cannot adopt "serving all beings as its purpose," it becomes excessively selfish and biased. Consider if all the world's wealth were offered to you alone—would you accept it? Not necessarily! Yet humanity remains blind and deluded. This is precisely because "the purpose of life is to serve," which is a fundamental truth and causal link in the order of heaven and earth.
In truth, from the moment each human being is born, they are served by others, and as they grow, they in turn continuously serve all sentient beings—only they are unaware of the deeper meaning behind this. Naturally, humans do not recognize that they have always been serving others; they do not even hold such a notion.
What human beings can take with them is nothing but their own "sins and merits"—this is an undeniable truth! For humanity, there exists the capacity to relinquish all worldly possessions, thereby enriching one's store of hidden virtues. In this world, it is essential to genuinely embrace the present moment, upholding the principle of "serving oneself while also serving all sentient beings."
In the world, the head of a household is considered to be the male, who serves as the primary support. Under such conditions, how can one achieve a better foundation for survival? It is essential to understand that the wellspring of a family’s happiness largely stems from the foundation of "maternal education," rather than relying solely on the efforts of the father. Is this not so?
Without a mother to manage the household, how could there be greater happiness to rely upon! As the ancients said: "A rooster raising its chicks struggles to pull the cart, while a hen raising its chicks does so with ease." Under such circumstances, especially for mothers, all credit is often attributed to the father. Yet it is the mother's nurturing and teachings that lay the solid foundation.
It also yields beneficial effects; in the human world, it is often the case that among the efforts contributed by both parents, the mother generally endures greater hardship. Indeed, it is the mother whose contributions are more laborious, and this is precisely as it should be! Moreover, she shoulders the burden single-handedly, taking all responsibilities upon herself without a word of complaint.
It is rare for the father alone to bear the full responsibility; thus arises the aspiration: to build a "happy and harmonious family" in recognition of the hard work of both father and mother. All people hope for a life of happiness for the entire family. This condition is particularly significant when children grow up, establish their own households, and start new branches of the family.
Sentient beings entering the human world rely on the virtues of heaven and earth to nurture their families, attaching themselves to the genuine: perfect happiness. Such conditions and causes can be described as a harbor of refuge against external storms! For humanity, these are precisely the conditions upon which survival depends, and it is essential to foster their wholesome growth.
However, it can be observed that each human being also carries a considerable "pressure." For humans, this kind of pressure is an intangible one, surpassing tangible pressures. How should it be alleviated? Often, one bears this intangible pressure on oneself, and it is only by learning to let go that change can occur.
In the human world, the existence of such pressure carries a considerable destructive force. Although it may not necessarily manifest as using a blade to harm oneself or others, it becomes a heavy burden within all the pressures of human survival. In the present era, the struggle for basic sustenance further subjects people to immense stress in their daily lives.
Frequently, stress can become overwhelming and difficult for humans to manage. Therefore, in today's world, it is essential to have various channels to alleviate one's own pressure, such as: traveling and sightseeing, dining and entertainment, attending concerts, reading and writing, karaoke, and many other personal preferences for life's relief.
In this world, there are many things beyond our control. What can be done about this life once it passes? What can be done about the next life once it too passes? Each lifetime follows this pattern, giving rise to the verse: "If in life's journey through this world, all that one clings to remains unchanged, it becomes difficult to turn back, leading to endless cycles of rebirth." May this verse help everyone understand: the present self is precisely like this!
All human beings share a common blessing: it is in small families that one can begin spiritual cultivation; in medium-sized families, one can then extend this practice; and in large families, one can further propagate it. This principle can be applied on any scale. In truth, everyone serves all sentient beings—encompassing religion, the workplace, family and relatives, friends and peers, and all living creatures—each simply fulfilling this service through different ways of existence.
In this world, it is the practice of "upholding and cultivating" that serves as faith, bringing about change in one who is dedicated to "spiritual cultivation." If one cannot progress upward, it often leads to repeated compromises that nurture wrongdoing. Such individuals are far too many in this world, and nearly everyone falls into this pattern. It is exceedingly rare to find those who truly enter religious faith and cultivation, and thereby ascend to higher realms.
In the human world, there exists a kind of reliance on the necessity of faith and refuge. Through such causes and conditions, it evolves from small to medium, and then to large, as all collectively propagate and uphold the necessity of what is called "harmony and unity." From this, it can be observed that harmony and unity possess a kind of affinity for the human world—like a gentle and agreeable force.
The perfection of the "small family," the cultivation and transformation through the "middle family," and the collective promotion and dissemination by the "great family"—can these three be distinguished? They are interdependent, each contributing to what we collectively achieve. If someone, perhaps more mischievous, sets many negative examples, what then would happen?
This kind of causal relationship sets many negative examples for people, making it difficult for them to identify with its code of conduct. Therefore, it is necessary to revise and change it in order to achieve good unity. At the same time, whether serving as an example for oneself or others, most human beings exhibit orderly and rational behavior in their actions.
Thus, if we distinguish individuals based on the actions and conduct of human beings—into the wise and intelligent, the ordinary, and the foolish—this distinction allows us to discern how, in the present moment, I should advance toward a more authentic form of growth. This also implies that different conditions provide support, while simultaneously, different blessings and opportunities foster development.
Regarding the fate determined by each individual's moment of birth, it is absolutely not the case that so-called "cesarean births" in the modern era will necessarily lead to favorable destinies. From this perspective, how should we understand whether every human being possesses both "innate fate and acquired fortune"? This very question gives rise to the distinctions among the wise, the ordinary, and the foolish!
The Great Way is inherently one family. The living spaces of all human beings and sentient beings serve as the fundamental conditions for mutual support. In the present era, no sentient being can live in isolation. It is essential for all to connect and unite, as this will greatly reduce obstacles, create a favorable space for virtuous living, and bring immense benefits to all.

◆ Prefaces ◆
Humanity distinguishes between the nature of Buddha and demon based on precisely these conditions. In terms of "attaining enlightenment through Buddha-nature," there are only thirteen stages in the human realm. However, if one follows the "comprehension through demon-nature," there are twenty stages. As the ancient saying warns: "When the Way rises by a foot, the demon rises by ten; when the Way rises by ten feet, the demon looms overhead." It is essential to understand this concept.
Can sentient beings comprehend this cause? Within it lies the following: the "realization of demonic nature" surpasses the "attainment of Buddhahood" even more truthfully! Therefore, although the growth of both "Buddha and demon" originates from the same source, it is distinguished by the varying degrees of one's own "virtue and hidden merits."
Therefore, when distinguishing between "the fruit of Buddhahood and the fruit of demonhood," it is essential to rely on authentic and genuine foundations as the correct path! Otherwise, it is merely akin to the education provided by general tutoring institutions, which lack any real diploma, yet can surpass—or even exceed—the training offered by formal education systems.
When the conditions of the human world have not yet progressed to a certain level, is it difficult to transcend the hierarchy of this star system? Just as among the celestial bodies where human beings reside, there is one illuminated by a sun. Under the illumination of such a sun, can all the aircraft of humanity reach it?
Even the most massive energy bodies, once they depart from the Earthly Nether Star System and attempt to reach the solar system of the Sun, are fundamentally incapable of arriving. Moreover, the spacetime distance is far too vast, and long before they could even cover half the journey, they would have already vanished without a trace. What do such human beings think of this? In truth, there are far too many star systems that are exactly like this!
Just as with the lunar star system, human beings might think it is easy to land on the moon, yet in reality, the temperatures there are hundreds of degrees below zero. People may believe that with their energy bodies or quantum bodies, simply applying current technology would allow them to travel directly to the lunar star system and settle there. In this way, it might even be possible in other star systems as well.
However, within the Yuchen star system, human beings might believe that as long as they possess the capability, they can migrate and settle there. Yet they fail to realize that if they reside in that place for too long, should the conversion of all "energy bodies" go awry, human beings fundamentally lack the kind of life that can endure there indefinitely.
Does the existence of the human world depend on the longevity of all living beings? This is closely related to the future of humanity and all sentient beings, as well as the fate of technological civilization! If human lifespan is limited to merely a hundred years, then evolution would necessitate the embodiment of biochemical life forms, or the capabilities of semi-biochemical life forms.
The lifespan of human beings is currently limited to a mere century of physical existence, fundamentally incapable of attaining a more enduring form of life. Thus, it becomes necessary to discern how, in the 21st century, human longevity will manifest in biochemical and semi-biochemical life forms. The key lies in understanding how to achieve a comparatively longer and more complete lifespan for oneself.
How does this concept apply to the solar system? Everyone should understand: within the solar system, there are fundamentally no living beings inhabiting it. However, if there were someone capable of withstanding the billions of degrees of heat energy in the solar system, may I ask: what would such a planet, where all living beings exist, be like?
Through the function of video transmission, everyone can access a broader realm of knowledge and wisdom, while simultaneously dissolving past obstacles! Moreover, the technological civilization of the present era can confirm the vastness of the cosmos, revealing that human beings are incarnated into the world from different star systems. Why must it be this way?
The so-called "borrowing of talents" essentially reveals that the relevant star system has already fallen short of standards, thus descending to the human realm for reformation and transformation. This is precisely the boundless compassion and grace of Heaven, which bestows upon these individuals the honorable title of "borrowed talents," granting everyone the distinguished and auspicious opportunity for such a noble cause.
Such extraordinary conditions and causes, in a very truthful manner, further evolve and greatly benefit the growth of all human beings' thoughts and concepts. Moreover, within the Buddhist tradition, this extraordinary cause and condition is rooted in the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. For Buddhist beginners, to fully engage with this Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra—without eating, drinking, or sleeping—would require thirty years of dedicated effort.
It can only discern a single instance of cause and effect; yet now, with the great compassionate grace of Heaven, it can reduce the time humanity spends groping in the dark by thirty years, enabling a simple and more authentic elevation of faith. At the same time, it allows humanity to apply the specialized knowledge of "Consciousness-Only doctrine" in daily life.
This fundamental aspect of human existence remains largely unrecognized: do I apply it every single day? Most sentient beings are unable to comprehend the profound grace bestowed upon humanity by the heavens, and thus they lack such a conceptual understanding. Yet, in truth, every individual, at every moment of every day, is diligently applying the principles of "Consciousness-Only" philosophy.

## Vice President, Wuji Yuanjun, Ma Xiangu
Before the Limitless Throne, the Sacred Decree is carried forth;  
Within the Heart Sect of the Great Dao, grand plans are unveiled.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens descended with a sincere heart,  
Bestowing a series of thirty-six treasures.
All saints, Buddhas, and virtuous disciples, good evening! Today, the sacred decree from the Wuji has been respectfully brought back to the hall for proclamation. All divine beings and mortals bow in reverence!
Imperial Decree Proclaimed
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Sovereign of the Primordial Mother decrees:
The Holy Mother resides in the Celestial Realm of Principle, placing great emphasis on the teachings imparted to all children in the mortal world, particularly those in Jambudvīpa! Now, in Taoyuan, Taiwan, there is the Chongxin Hall of the Mother’s Heart. Since its establishment in the year of Bingzi, it has completed a total of thirty-five volumes in the Great Dao series. Each volume disseminates the truths of heaven, earth, and the universe to the human realm.
Providing all original spirit children with enhancing conditions to add upon, it also serves all in: returning to transcendence, completing and riding beyond to ascend upwards. It can be said that in the true realization of "illuminating the mind and seeing one’s nature, attaining enlightenment and proving the fruit," it has already descended to transform and grow beyond within the human world! Mother Guan Chongxin’s entire mission of propagating the Dao is truly as real and complete.
There are also virtuous lineages with proven merits and achievements, which aid sentient beings in their upward growth and elevation, earning the Mother's heartfelt admiration and encouragement! Now, with the release of the thirty-sixth volume of the Dadao series, titled "One Family of the Great Dao," it serves precisely to propagate and educate on the truth that "the Great Dao is originally one family," thereby genuinely promoting and disseminating this destined teaching.
From the day of receiving the decree, the writing of the Celestial Book shall commence, so that the work may be completed at the earliest opportunity. This will also fulfill the duty of returning to the teachings of Heaven, and it is earnestly hoped to promote and propagate the "New Three Bonds and Constants" in the human world.
The mother's heart also hopes that the Chongxin lineage will, starting from the year of Jiawu, diligently promote and propagate, serving as a benchmark and model in the human world. It shall take the "world's foremost institution of learning" as its foundation, enabling all sentient souls to ascend and grow.

The August Heaven's envoy, Li Taibai,  
The Immortal Elder descends with the sacred decree.
The Path of the Reverent Heart Sect Unfolds,  
A Series of Celestial Texts in Thirty-Six Rows.
Oh! Once again, the Old Immortal has brought the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven to bestow upon the Chongxin Sect lineage—truly, this is a moment of great fortune! Later, we shall prepare tea for blessing! Divine and mortal alike bow in reverence!
The Imperial Decree is Hereby Proclaimed
Respectfully Received
The Great Heavenly Lord of Jade, the Supreme Emperor of Mystical Divinity, proclaims the Jade Decree:
I, as the supreme sovereign, observe that the implementation of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics in the human world has gradually declined in the present era. Yet, by the will of Heaven, there remains a force to rescue the world from chaos, to elevate and educate humanity with its original intent. It can be said that this force possesses genuine efficacy and true merit, serving as the fundamental driving force for upliftment.
Now, in Taoyuan, Taiwan, there is the Yichongxintang. Since its establishment in the Year of Bingzi, up to the present time, it has completed a total of thirty-five volumes of the "Great Dao Series" celestial books. It is fitting that the thirty-sixth volume of the "Great Dao Series" celestial books be bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage, to serve as a foundation for future teachings and growth!
My heart is greatly pleased, and I have inscribed upon its cover the words: "The Great Dao is One Family." I have commanded that the Five Great Buddha-Sages serve as the presiding immortals and buddhas for its composition, with the other lofty beings of the three realms assisting as accompanying immortals and buddhas. Upon the arrival of this decree, they shall immediately commence writing, for the benefit of the future. Thus, a complete "Three Great Volumes" will be produced, which shall certainly serve as instructional materials for teaching and transformation, further aiding humanity in implementing the "New Three Bonds and Constants."
It can benefit the sentient world, fostering unity, harmony, and growth. I sincerely hope that the Chongxin lineage will steadfastly complete all educational courses and achieve the holistic development of all future descendants of the Yan and Huang emperors. This will contribute to family harmony and, under the premise that "the Great Dao is one family," bring all things to perfect fulfillment.
It is essential to complete all extraordinary missions in the human world and establish a truly purified educational curriculum for humanity, as this will create the genuine necessity for elevation and growth. To guide all sentient beings with compassion toward the right direction for survival, enabling them to progress steadily upward in growth and enhancement, the "New Three Bonds and Constants" are implemented in the human world for the benefit of all.

Namo, all beings are Tathagatas;

Humanity seeks ascension,  
All religions share a single origin.
The Great Dao Unites All, Praise and Congratulations
The Great Way is that which carries out all broad transformations.
It is with the human world as the refuge for sentient beings, and through the upward growth of human Buddha-nature, that such causes and conditions in the present moment must be genuinely developed. Moreover, only when one’s inherent nature is elevated, enhanced, and transcended can it be said that the inherent nature manifests. How, then, can the manifestation of inherent nature foster the growth of Buddha-nature?
Rather than solely relying on the negative traits and malevolent tendencies of human beings, which in turn amplify demonic qualities; thus, humanity clings to this notion of "Buddha and demon being one and the same," and in doing so, places itself in a position where it may or may not progress upward. This further accumulates the addition of virtue, yet simultaneously traps humanity in the dilemma of "the dual obstacles of Buddha and demon."
A family is complete and blessed.
How can the afflictions of the human world be dispelled? It is necessary to transform them in accordance with truth. And upon what kind of "family" should we rely? Within each human family, many aspects of existence are centered on the "family," and every sentient being is likewise. For such a family, how can we truly benefit every sentient being within it?
It can be said: whether it is a small family, a large family, or the world as one family, all are upheld by the same principle. The same holds true for the Great Dao—it is also a family. Originally, all actions were guided by this concept, allowing oneself to enter into this family. The key lies in how to reflect upon and cherish this family, for it is this that enables one to benefit and grow upward in the present moment.
Therefore, when we speak of "home," we also address the necessity of how to advance this home truthfully and upward, which entails growth. Specifically, "one home" refers to each religious sect and lineage, as well as the convergence point of heaven and earth, the stars, and the universe. By elevating and expanding from this point, one can truly return to the original home!
Homage to the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha, who descends to offer praise and congratulations to the Confucian Sacred Teaching and the True Buddha Heart School.

Excellent! Congratulations to the Chongxin Sect for faithfully composing and analyzing the thirty-sixth volume of the Dadao series, *Dadao Yijia* (The Great Dao as One Family). This truthful work contributes to the growth of goodness in the human world. Such authenticity enables a genuine return to the heavenly family and fosters true growth through religious faith—this is the right path! Thank you all for your hard work and for your time with the Chongxin Sect. Farewell, everyone!
Episode Six: The Practice of Life Begins in the Humble Home
## South Sea Ancient Buddha
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
March 14, 2014, the fourteenth day of the second lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Void permeates the Hall of the Revered Heart,  
The Virtuous Will of the Wuji bestows its rewards.
The Old Mother of Mount Li descended and chanted:  
The Great Way unites all in enduring virtue and benevolence.
The Great Dao is One Family, in praise it is said:
The virtuous karma of the Great Dao
To regard the entire cosmos, heaven and earth as one family—this is something that is extremely difficult for all people in the world to truly comprehend. How, then, should we connect with the fundamental nature of this "one family"? In truth, it is essential to link the whole: the universe, the stars, heaven and earth, and humanity together, forming the necessity of "one family." Yet within this one family, there are far too many distinctions to be made!
Thus it can be said: the cosmos is a vast celestial cycle, the stars a grand celestial cycle, heaven and earth a medium celestial cycle, and humanity a small celestial cycle. These can further be linked to each individual, stirring within them a thought or concept, thereby enabling one to understand how they interconnect with the entire cosmos.
In the formation of all behavioral norms for humanity and sentient beings, it is possible to verify through the IC microchip the interconnectedness of the Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, the Mirror of the Earthly Heart, and the Mirror of the Human Heart. Conversely, this very concept of mutual growth and elevation is fundamentally absent among humanity and sentient beings. Is this indeed the case?
A family grows and thrives under its protection.
Moreover, it is necessary for every human being in the world to enter into it truthfully, as it serves as a refuge from all storms and a wellspring of happiness. Humanity will then gain insight into how to create a happy family, and how to achieve the mutual connection of yin and yang, thereby receiving the protection and blessings for "the family."
Simultaneously, it enables individuals within the human world, across every time and space, to treat different collective "families" as they are. This allows one to genuinely respond to and transform through their own learning and growth, continuously elevating and transcending oneself. It also enables one, through engagement in the human world, to act virtuously in every time and space, thereby benefiting oneself.
In truth, humanity has always aspired to grow upward in accordance with reality. However, constrained by the necessities of survival, there are many unavoidable compromises, and it is not always possible to follow one's own ideals and beliefs to achieve what would be considered wholesome personal growth. Moreover, regarding the great Way of the world as "originally one family," human society is merely a small family, with the addition of a middle-sized family.
Moreover, it is essential to align with the nation as a collective entity. This process also allows one to approach life with a realistic and adaptive orientation: for a family, how should one draw upon personal growth and transcendence to truly advance toward greater heights and return to the heavenly home? Can such a perspective be embraced?
The Limitless Void, the Old Mother of Mount Li, personally descended to bestow this eulogy upon the Confucian School of Sacred Teaching.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Guisi year of the Tianyun cycle, during the Xu hour.
We extend our gratitude to all the divine beings and students of Chongxin for their dedication and sacrifices made for the Great Dao. At the same time, they have transformed their own small families into medium-sized and larger families, akin to returning to the heavenly home through genuine practice. Can everyone understand this? It is essential to strive diligently! As your teacher, I shall also humbly partake in this "home" of Chongxin.
Chapter Seven: A Happy Little Home, The Foundation of Harmony
##Limitless Virtuous Perfected Immortal Maiden
March 18, 2014, the 18th day of the second lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The Void and the Infinite descend to the mortal realm;  
The Earth Mother, supreme and virtuous, bestows blessings and fate.
The lineage of the Heart-Honoring Sect establishes a single school,  
Following the thirty-six paths of the Great Dao series.
The Great Dao, One Family — Preface
The Great Dao mutually assists and supports.
By utilizing all worldly connections, we initiate a more authentic and transcendent approach to the direction of human existence. At the same time, we further evolve all the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues into a foundation upon which all human beings can rely. Thus, it can now be said: the compassionate grace of Heaven has truly manifested its efficacy.
This fundamental cause, which has been the primary reliance for sentient beings over the past millennia, has now been genuinely transformed. Such transformation is essential for enabling humanity to progress upward in goodness. At the same time, the "New Three Bonds" have been authentically manifested in the human world, bringing benefit to all sentient beings.
It can foster the growth and accumulation of many virtues; this is essential as a fundamental principle in reverence toward Heaven, while also cultivating and enhancing more virtuous qualities in the human world. In accordance with this, for all sentient beings, each family can serve as a sanctuary for their survival and well-being—a source of happiness and a haven of refuge—that is, the family.
A household can achieve upward growth.
Furthermore, in the human world, the interconnectedness of the universe, galaxies, humanity, heaven and earth, and all living beings is such that every thought and intention of each person manifests quite vividly and truthfully. Especially in the current era, where "the opposing obstacles of Buddha and Mara" arise from different causes and conditions, it is essential to understand how to manifest the Buddha-nature and suppress the Mara-nature in these two aspects.
For humanity, the cultivation of goodness inherently leads to greater personal elevation and transcendence. This process not only fosters upward growth in the human world but also simultaneously diminishes the increase of malevolent tendencies. Such individuals can connect with one another, grounding every thought and intention in a foundation that supports all life's pursuits in this world.
At the same time, one should consider how to progress and elevate oneself within the practice of religious faith—this is the true path! In this way, one also advances toward a more authentic and transcendent state. Moreover, such conditions and opportunities arise: it is essential for human beings to genuinely achieve upward growth and transcendence in this very lifetime!
Otherwise, it would merely be speaking eloquently of the Way, yet failing to guide oneself more truthfully back to the heavenly home. In such a case, if one cannot truly transcend this lifetime, what else can be done? It is hoped that the completion of *The Great Dao, One Family* will enable humanity to grow within their homes and achieve the necessity of ascending and returning upward!
The Supreme Mother of the Void and Boundless Earth bestows this preface upon the Confucian Sacred Teaching and the True Buddha Heart School.
The Heart Sect of the Great Dao  
The Academy of the Limitless Great Dao  
The Chongxin Hall, Established by Imperial Decree
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the Guisi year of the Tianyun cycle, during the hour of the Dog.
We extend our gratitude to the deities and Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, as well as to all students. For sentient beings in the human realm, it is essential to first achieve harmony and fulfillment within the family, as this forms the foundation of true cultivation. Only then can one genuinely progress in spiritual practice and elevate oneself. If one cannot even bring harmony to their own home—the very basis of existence—how can one claim to excel in cultivation? Without this foundation, genuine advancement remains unattainable. We appreciate everyone’s dedication and apologize for any inconvenience during your time with Chongxin. Farewell for now!
Episode Eight: Sentient Beings, Harmonious and Noble
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue, Lord of Humans and Devas
March 21, 2014, the twenty-first day of the second lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Great Dao's family came to compose,  
Thirty-six heavenly books with virtuous intent were structured.
The Lord of the Southern Heavens returns to the exalted heart,  
A multitude of sublime growths make their way back.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, Namo Mahavairocana Buddha, the Venerable Mother Lishan of the Void Wuji, and the Supreme Earth Mother of the Void Wuji have personally descended to compose the "Praise and Celebration," "Ode," and "Preface" for *The Great Dao as One Family*. These writings can be faithfully relied upon as a guide for goodness.
It is also about advancing one's own growth, and only by doing so can one truly create a more complete, happy, and harmonious family—this is the right path! Tomorrow is Saturday again, marking the final session of this year's "Chan Insights to Dispel Delusions." Regardless of how many devotees or students attend, we must proceed step by step in our preparations—this is the right path!
To all students and disciples, after tomorrow, all the sacred duties of the Guisi year will be fully completed. We also extend our gratitude to everyone for their diligent support and protection throughout this year. It is believed that starting from the Jiawu year, we will be able to rely on the collective unity and strength of the Chongxin community to carry forward this cause under such favorable conditions. This will lead to a substantial and authentic propagation, which essentially means:
To revere the heart is to be of one heart; to be of one heart is to revere the heart.
Furthermore, with this conviction, it is essential to keep it in mind, and this verse can be genuinely propagated and promoted with goodness. This represents the most significant and genuine transformation within the Chongxin lineage this year, which is worthy of affirmation and commendation. Let us all give ourselves some encouragement! Next year, there will be even greater and more extraordinary missions that require our collective efforts, ensuring that all members of the Chongxin lineage, both in learning and practice, can achieve:
United as one, the Dao's affairs turn to gold.
The noble assembly performs with excellence,  
fulfilling wishes and satisfying the heart.
Now, I will share this verse with everyone for your knowledge. Thank you all, and farewell!
Chapter Nine: Uniting All Families, Great and Small
##Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue:
March 28, 2014, the twenty-eighth day of the second lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
Ancient Buddha of Nanping, Daoji
Chapter Ten: The Lesser Family Finds Comfort, The Middle Family Practices Cultivation
##Ancient Lamp-Lighting Buddha:
April 1, 2014, the second day of the third lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The Dadao series records the celestial texts; the family's moral transformation is inherently selfless.
Human affection and virtue run deep,  
Heaven and Earth bestow their special care.
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: The "Great Dao Heavenly Texts" series can be described as the most sublime and extraordinary work in the world! It offers compassionate humanity the opportunity to cultivate goodness and achieve transcendence within the mortal realm. Only through such supreme and exceptional conditions can it be observed that, in times past, there has never been a lineage like the Chongxin Sect, which relies on the entire series of Heavenly Texts for its teachings.
This recognition from the Heavenly Realm is indeed a remarkable honor for the Chongxin lineage. It is precisely through this series of celestial texts that human beings in the mortal world are elevated, gaining diverse perspectives and insights. These teachings guide the path of future cultivation, enabling genuine growth, transcendence, and ultimate return. It can be said that all this is made possible by the works authored by the Chongxin lineage.
Moreover, it is essential to steadfastly maintain one's resolve. In the trials of the human world, all are assessed step by step, passing through numerous demonic realms. Likewise, one must honestly rectify many shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors one by one. Hence it is said: For the Chongxin lineage, there truly exists the mission of guiding four hundred million Buddhist disciples and the ninety-two original spiritual beings on behalf of Heaven, enabling them to return and transcend.
Moreover, one may even attain the most sublime realization in Buddhism—truly “illuminating the mind, perceiving one’s nature, awakening, and attaining fruition”! In this way, for those with profound virtue, it is certain that in the future they will genuinely enter into the great bliss of Nirvana and experience its realization. Such an opportunity is exceedingly rare even in the human world, and even within Buddhism, it is seldom that one encounters such a karmic condition to return and transcend!
Daoji the Ancient Buddha said: Chongxin has completed the compilation of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," comprising thirty-five volumes. It can be said: this is truly the foremost and most exceptional work in the world! Unlike the classical texts of the past, which belonged to different systems, this work encompasses the profound teachings of all major traditions over the past century—such as Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism—in a singular, extraordinary connection.
There is no other institution quite like Chongxin, which has the extraordinary affinity of elucidating the mysteries of heaven and earth through the "Transmission of Celestial Truths." Looking back over the past century, it can be said that among all works on celestial scriptures, those truly achieving the unity of the three teachings and the common origin of the five faiths are exceedingly rare! Nor has there been such a profound opportunity to witness the remarkable nature of these celestial writings.
Thus, the Venerable Elder and the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, Guanyin, humbly beseech the Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji to bestow upon the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa the rare and precious cause and condition of the divine decree descending from Heaven. Only the Venerable Elder can say: though celestial scriptures descend everywhere, to find conditions akin to those of the Chongxin Sect is truly "one chosen among thousands"!
Thus, this is not a matter of showing favoritism toward the Chongxin lineage; in truth, it is simply the way things are! It is akin to the vow made by the Patriarch of Reason and Brush to this old monk—to let this old monk take pride in "Chongxin Reason and Brush" as a source of glory. In this, this old monk finds great joy and delight, hoping to truly "proclaim the teachings of Heaven and embody the ways of Heaven" in spreading and promoting this path.
This is the sole opportunity in millennia to descend upon the human world, enabling the authentic promotion of the "New Three Bonds and Constants." It also situates Taiwan within the Earthly Realm star system of the entire cosmos, facilitating genuine propagation and expansion. In treating all under heaven as one family—whether this family is small, medium, or the "greater family"—how should this be realized?
As the saying goes, "The world is originally one family, with virtue nurturing all beings. True great happiness is bestowed upon my own home." This is the essence of the humanistic world. Without small families, how could there be medium and large families? Now, I ask everyone: Which family do you desire? (Answer: The large family.) Very wise! This is exactly how it should be. Today, this old monk writes the first installment of "The Great Dao as One Family." Please prepare sweet dew and fruits, and blessings will be bestowed upon them shortly!
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: In the human world, one must first properly settle the "small family." This establishes a solid foundation for the "intermediate family," creating the necessity for upward growth and improvement. Only by truly entering the ranks of cultivation within the "intermediate family" can one then extend and propagate to the larger "great family" with genuine and wholesome efficacy. This is the true path!
In this world, all that lies within the "Middle Realm"—does it truly bear real efficacy? It depends on how humanity can strive with goodness, for only then can the propagation of the Great Dao be genuinely realized! This is because the human world is precisely the "Realm of Life Transformation," and in this realm of life transformation, it is observed how humanity can ascend and grow.
In fact, it all depends on each individual's efforts to achieve, which is relatively certain and yields tangible results. Consider this: all the cultivation practices (of the Middle Family) in the world today represent a form of genuine manifestation. It is precisely because of the cultivation of the Middle Family that we ask everyone: having left the Small Family to join the Middle Family, do you perceive any differences from the Small Family?
How, then, should we extend the concept of the middle-class family to embrace a broader, more inclusive family? This broader family requires genuine and earnest efforts in propagation and promotion to achieve its true purpose and efficacy. It is akin to humanity serving all sentient beings; yet, it seems that many lack this very concept, failing to integrate it into their own thoughts and beliefs.
Even within the small household one inhabits, such efficacy and awareness are often absent. Thus, in the human realm, when one aspires to serve all sentient beings with compassion, might it be that even this basic awareness is lacking? If one lacks such awareness altogether, how then can the aspiration to serve all beings arise? Indeed, it is far from easy.
Daoji Ancient Buddha said: Such is the nature of human beings! It lies in serving oneself while simultaneously serving the vast multitude of humanity. This applies to every individual: from the moment one is born, one is served by others. As one grows older and enters society, the necessity to serve others arises.
In truth, every human being survives through this kind of "serving all sentient beings," including one’s own family. It is only genuine when each person holds the mindset of serving all beings. As for one’s own existence in the present moment, some live joyfully, some indifferently, and some with a sense of helpless resignation.
Whether you live a life of joy and fulfillment, one of indifference, or even discontent, the world operates on a principle of mutual service—serving oneself while also serving all beings. This is the chain of human service. For every sentient being in this world, including all species, whether animate or inanimate, they too are engaged in serving all beings.
Does everyone hold this notion? It seems not! How could this be? In this world, each individual serves the public, and the public also serves each individual. This forms an interconnected chain of mutual causes and conditions—a chain of service-related affairs. By reflecting a little deeper, one can realize: throughout one's entire life, one is always serving all living beings!
In truth, every single action is in service to all beings! If this understanding can be deeply rooted in the eighth consciousness, without distinguishing between sentient and non-sentient beings—all are the same—even actions that appear to oppose us are ultimately serving all beings. Oh! Does everyone have this understanding? (Response: Yes) How wise—you grasp it immediately!
You are called Changlu, always keep records! This record is not that fortune, but with fortune there is a path; the Great Dao is also a path. Persist long enough, and you will have "fortune" to bless you. Do you all want it? (Answer again: Yes!) Be wise and wiser! In alignment with the "Great Dao as One Family," the entire series can thus be faithfully completed, as authored in the three great volumes of heavenly scriptures.
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: In the mortal world, it is indeed rare to find a lineage like the Chongxin Sect, which can compose works using the vernacular style of the current era! This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity must be cherished by all, for it is truly beneficial for one's own virtuous growth and elevation. In this way, for all sentient beings, "ignorance is the primal cause" in relation to all that has passed.
How then can the "primordial cause of ignorance" be eliminated? In contrast, you have the guidance of immortal and Buddha teachers for your growth. Has everyone's thinking and concepts advanced to another level? In fact, for all sentient beings, including those with and without consciousness, even if they exist in different star systems, it is the same. How many among them truly serve the vast multitude of beings?
It is not limited to human beings alone; no matter which planet you inhabit, it is the same. Every celestial body also serves all sentient beings, and even the immortal and buddha teachers do the same. Not only the immortal and buddha teachers who have already attained enlightenment are referred to as sentient beings. This concept in the human world must be further reinforced!
One can thus realize that all different levels are equally dedicated to serving sentient beings. In this relativity, everyone also serves themselves. This is precisely the great universal law of heaven and earth, the stars, and the cosmos. Moreover, through such causes and conditions, everyone can comprehend that all beings of different levels, realms, and fruitions also serve sentient beings under these same conditions.
Even today, it is the same for me, your teacher, and Ji Fo (Compassionate Buddha). We come to serve all the immortals, Buddhas, and students of Chongxin. Can everyone understand this? Each level, realm, and spiritual attainment is merely a matter of serving more or fewer sentient beings—only a difference in scope, whether vast or limited. Therefore, today, having the honor to serve all the students of Chongxin, I truly feel immensely fortunate!
We also extend our gratitude to everyone for your support and protection. All of the work presented today in the first installment of "The Great Dao, One Family" is a significant service in response to this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity. Thus, once the entire work is completed, the Chongxin Lineage will be able to serve an even broader spectrum of humanity. Consider this: your teacher has come to Chongxin solely to serve all of you.
You have completed the work of "The Great Dao as One Family," and now you can serve more sentient beings with compassion. Everyone may think this seems to achieve multiple goals at once! Is that so? Precisely, whether it can be widely and effectively disseminated depends on all future efforts to promote it. However, it is certain that the works of Chongxin can be passed down through the ages, enduring across vast stretches of time and space.
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said:
The Primordial Qi descends to the mortal realm,  
Human writings achieve true excellence.
The Great Dao Unites All Across the Vast Land  
A Series of Books Benefits Virtue and Truth
Such is the way of the world! Quickly bring in the fruits and sweet dew to be blessed! Decide for yourselves how much to bless! Is that all? Today, those who have come shall also receive a red envelope. This envelope must be kept carefully, combined with your own money as a "money seed," and stored away again next New Year!
Daoji, the Ancient Buddha, said:
The Great Way is one family, rooted in the human realm;  
In the heavens above, there lies a field of blessed fortune.
Observing your achievements as they manifest, returning to transcend the path you have chosen.
It seems that the descent today is also similar to the style of Ji Fo, with a touch of grace. Thank you all for accompanying us in completing this first session. We look forward to the Chongxin lineage flourishing from the Year of the Jiawu onward, and may it fully unleash its potential! All of us, the immortal Buddhas and teachers, will surely offer strong support for the future promotion and dissemination of the teachings. Today, we also thank everyone for accompanying us in this endeavor. Farewell!
Chapter Eleven: The Distinct Functions of Practice and Cultivation
##The Limitless Preaching Immortal Maiden
April 4, 2014, the fifth day of the third lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
On the Jiawu New Year, I take up the brush to write,  
With blessings from immortals and Buddhas, great fortune shall alight.
Widely sow fields of blessings to ferry all beings across;  
Serve others, and one's own wishes will be fulfilled.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the two venerable teachers of the Great Dao series—the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Daoji—have personally descended to compose the first installment of "Great Dao as One Family." They also provide everyone with clarity on how to promote and propagate the teachings within small families, medium families, and the greater human family!
Furthermore, the numerous Immortals and Buddhas have long hoped that the Chongxin lineage could genuinely propagate and promote the teachings. This is because, over the past seventeen years of the "Great Dao Series," all foundational work has been firmly established, and it has successfully passed each successive trial. Only then can it truly respond to the call for promotion, achieving self-realization while delivering all sentient beings.
Thus, the lineage of the Chongxin Sect is no longer as it was in the past. It is hoped that, as encouraged by the Great Chairman, the Lord of the Southern Heaven and Sage Emperor of Literary Balance: "With all united as one, the path transforms into gold; responding in truth, joy and kinship flourish." From now on, this must be even more so, and it is essential to keep this in mind. When facing any issue, one should not merely view it from the narrow perspective of "the small family looking at the middle family."
It is essential to adopt the broad perspective of the "greater family" to observe the implementation of all great paths. Only in this way can one serve both oneself and all beings truthfully. Is this not so? Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. Let us join together in serving all beings! How does that sound? Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
Chapter Twelve: Cultivating the Middle Way, Religious Faith
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue, and the Realms of Humans and Devas
April 8, 2014, the ninth day of the third lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The Great Dao series unfolds the unity of all families  
Compassion in the human world is bestowed upon all under heaven.
There is a small, happy source of life that brings fulfillment to the home.
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: Sentient beings, upon entering the human world, encounter many paths of survival. Particularly regarding the conditions for human livelihood, it can be said that each person must have a small family to achieve a comfortable existence. This is prevalent in the human realm, where it is necessary to rely on the "family" to support all orientations of survival.
For a small family, the true path lies in how to rely on and nurture the conditions for mutual fulfillment. It is essential that within each small family, all members support one another, creating a haven from misfortune and discontent. As the saying goes: "Home" is the source of happiness and the best shelter from life's storms.
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara said: In the human world, every sentient being must possess the comfort of a "home." This applies equally to human beings and all living creatures of the world—all must have the comfort of a family. This is especially true for humanity. Through the comfort of a "home," it serves as the finest shelter from wind and rain.
It can be said that such shelters from wind and rain possess a certain necessity for survival and comfort. This is true for all human beings, regardless of country or race. It is precisely because of the comfort of having a home that people can settle together in a region. In the present era, humanity takes the "comfortable home" as its foundation.
It is essential to have a life orientation that prioritizes comfort and well-being. As for whether a family can achieve happiness, one must observe whether all its members can: mutually support, harmonize, and fulfill one another within the household. Thus, for the existence of a family, there is a necessity for mutual support and interdependence.
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: In the human world, progress is oriented toward survival, striving for a more comfortable existence. Especially in the current era, for all living beings, it is essential to rely on one another and survive as a collective. Just like the recent snowstorms across East Asia, it can be said that the entire region has endured bitter cold and freezing conditions.
In considering all survival orientations for humanity, particularly in the Taiwan region, under such conditions of dependency, human beings cannot rely on this harshness as a basis for survival. This diminishes the possibility of comfort and security for humanity within families. Especially for the people of the current generation, it is impossible to attain a truly comfortable and secure existence.
What is the cause of this? It stems from human shortsightedness. All that nature has nurtured is being destroyed in the struggle for survival, and the earth's retaliation is only just beginning. Moreover, as all the celestial immortals and buddhas mentioned in the *Dedao Yanyi* (The Great Dao's Elaboration), the calamities humanity faces are merely the start.
Have the calamities foretold by the immortal Buddhas and teachers in the past continued to emerge one after another without end? It is essential to understand the origins and consequences of all such calamities, and how to act in the future. In this context, it can be said that most sentient beings possess a small, comfortable home, which offers them protection when disasters strike.
Thus, for human beings, compared to other sentient beings, there is a small interdependent family that sustains survival! All forms of interdependence in the human world, in the face of future calamities, are only just beginning to emerge from this moment onward. Hence, although disasters continuously befall the entire world, the protection of immortals and Buddhas can turn peril into safety.
The Ancient Buddha Dipamkara said: As long as you dwell on the precious island of Taiwan, all sentient beings are under the protection of the heavenly immortals, Buddhas, and teachers. Particularly for all students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage, the immortals, Buddhas, and teachers have long ago, in part, inscribed such calamities of humanity within the celestial texts and within "Chan Insights to Dispel Delusions."
To address all matters with foresight and early warning has greatly shaped everyone's perspective, particularly regarding personal conduct and how to position oneself in the realm of propagating and promoting transformation. This provides everyone with a small family-like support to rely on, ensuring genuine protective actions in the nourishment of one's own life.
Let us reflect further: Have you encountered great calamities since joining the Chongxin Sect? Over these past ten-plus years, the celestial Buddhas and teachers have consistently offered unwavering support. All virtuous students who have dedicated themselves to the Chongxin Sect have been protected one by one. Moreover, this protection extends to your entire family, ensuring that all live in peace and comfort.
Unless it is a matter of predetermined fate, if one's life can be extended, the immortal and enlightened teachers will never be stingy, offering you significant protection and support. Moreover, your devotion and reliance on the Chongxin lineage, along with all the blessings and guardianship it provides, allow everyone to pass through life in peace and comfort, while also gaining a wealth of knowledge and perspectives, enhancing wisdom, and cultivating virtue.
Furthermore, it also truly protects and blesses each and every small family for all of you! This is how the human world works: for every student of the Chongxin Sect, there is a genuine connection. Each small family can find peace and comfort, and it is observed how much energy each student and sect member invests, which in turn determines the amount of blessings they receive in return. Are you willing?
The Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea said: With such conditions and causes, one may, in this very lifetime, evolve and elevate the true wisdom of discernment. How do you all perceive this now? It seems none do. Moreover, a small number still believe there is no protection in this. If so, it is not that the immortals and buddhas must manifest with great force.
Just look at your own virtue and blessings—how are they? The only thing lacking is not having given him much wealth! When such people enter the Chongxin lineage, they don’t first consider how much virtue and blessings they themselves possess. This kind of situation is not unique to Chongxin; even in more well-known lineages, such individuals often gather together.
If human beings cannot adopt "serving others as their purpose," then let us ask: if you were given all the wealth in the world, with everything belonging solely to you, would you accept it? Yet, humanity remains so blindly deluded! Precisely because "life's purpose lies in service," this constitutes the chain of cause and effect in the universal truth of heaven and earth.
In truth, from the moment each human being is born, they are served by others, and as they grow, they in turn continuously serve all sentient beings—only they are unaware of the deeper meaning behind it. Naturally, humans do not recognize that they have been serving all beings all along; they do not even hold such a notion.
If you still desire to possess all the wealth in the world, to have it all to yourself, what joy could that possibly bring you! Without even the slightest thought of serving others, do you think you can take all the world’s riches with you in the end? If you insist on hoarding everything for yourself alone, I fear you will be crushed under its weight. Could you still hope to take it away? That is hardly possible!
What human beings can take with them is nothing but the full measure of their "sins and merits"—this is an absolute truth! For humanity, there exists the possibility of relinquishing all worldly possessions, thereby enriching and perfecting one's hidden virtues. In this world, it is essential to truly embrace the present, upholding the principle of "serving oneself while also serving all sentient beings."
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara said: With such merits and virtues established by oneself, there is no need for the Heavenly Lord to assign grades; one can evaluate oneself. This is how one can discern in the human world: how to "serve oneself while also serving all sentient beings"! It can truly be said that in this process, one should consider how to achieve greater benefits for oneself in the present moment.
Thus, everyone can understand, how should I act? In truth, you only need to wholeheartedly serve within the Chongxin lineage, returning kindness to your virtuous brothers and sisters, and you will truly come to realize: serving yourself is also serving all beings! Moreover, in each and every small family, because you serve all beings, your virtuous character will be greatly enriched and increased.
And do not let the return of good-affinity brothers and sisters be met with a slightly harsh tone from you, causing offense once again. Can you understand this? This is absolutely true! Based on Chongxin's past experiences, it is also a fact that some of those with good affinity have departed from the Chongxin lineage. This must be taken as a warning.
If truth can perfect all means of deliverance, just as the Holy Mother in Heaven said: "Let the heart be a place of spiritual practice, wear a smile, speak softly, and let words bloom like lotuses." Can we truly achieve this for everyone? If we can offer such conduct to our returning brothers and sisters, they will feel as if they have come home. Are "we all" willing? Let us strive diligently!
Ancient Buddha Dipankara:
Serve oneself with meticulous care, serve all brothers with heartfelt concern.
When sisters return to revere the heart, great power is gathered.
Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
The great Dao unites all families, small and large; every being must come to understand this.
Each family is built upon happiness,  
All sentient beings are blessed with virtue and fortune.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings; for the great Dao, one family, let us begin from the small "one family" to enter the "middle family," and then advance toward the "great family" to mutually fulfill one another, serving ourselves and serving all beings. Can you understand? We appreciate everyone's hard work. Our two immortal teachers also wish to say to everyone: Thank you, and farewell!

April 11, 2014, the twelfth day of the third lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Immortal Maiden of the Boundless Good Circle Ascends,  
Together Meeting All Divine Beings of the Reverent Heart.
May all families, great and small, be blessed with peace and prosperity.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the two immortal teachers—Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and Ancient Buddha Namo Dipamkara—have descended to compose the second installment of "The Great Tao as One Family." They have analyzed the first half of "A Small Family, the Source of Happiness," and will continue with the latter half in the next session.
From this year onward, let us not dwell on how you were in the past. Instead, start from the heart to serve yourself and serve all sentient beings, without getting entangled in too many disputes of right and wrong. In truth, all emotional human beings are merely troubled by their own thoughts and perceptions. It is essential to diligently cultivate and transform them! Otherwise, it will be difficult to truly serve all sentient beings.
It is further instructed: This year's calamities have already arrived. All students, disciples, and their family members must each light a Buddha-heart lamp for the entire year, allowing the immortal Buddhas and teachers to provide protection, thereby averting disasters. This practice shall begin from this year of Jiawu and continue every year henceforth. Do not underestimate a single small Buddha-heart lamp—its function truly possesses virtuous efficacy and protective power!
This allows the immortals and Buddhas to understand through the light: how to recognize and transform the calamities you currently encounter! Tomorrow is again Wednesday, all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. If it is too cold, and there are devotees who come early, you may give the teachings in advance—no need to wait until the dark and chilly night. Is that understood? That is all for today. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Fourteen: Maturing in Adversity, Surpassing Oneself
## Master of Humanity and Heaven, the Immortal Maiden of the Nine Heavens, Mysterious Lady
## Vice President of the Chongxin Sect Lineage, Ma Xiangu
April 15, 2014, the 16th day of the third lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The grand path unfolds through human endeavor, meeting in myriad ways.
All different causes and conditions can be traced back,  
Promoting the constant virtues thus follows accordingly.
The Ancient Dipamkara Buddha said: In the human world, the orientation toward survival relies on the support of a small family. It can be said that every sentient being, especially human beings as a standard, requires such a small family, where there must be a pair of parents and many children living together.
Moreover, as one grows older, they can thrive in the homes of every person, regardless of whether they live alone or in a community, relying on each other in various ways. Regarding the necessity of this practice, it can be said that for all human societies, even a small family involves mutual support, which is essential for achieving a "happy, harmonious, and fulfilling family."
Human beings have always yearned for a "happy, complete, and harmonious family" to rely on for survival. It can be said that this is all that humanity seeks! Moreover, there must be a currency chain to ensure a life free from want and scarcity. This stems from the necessity of communal living for human beings, as well as the mutual dependence and support among them.
The Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue said: Human beings exist in this manner, striving for the fulfillment of a harmonious family life as a whole; at times, even for a small family, the question arises: How can one progress toward an even more complete life! For thousands of years, this condition has been rooted in the patriarchal system for humanity.
In the present era, it can be said that we have entered the age of the Horse and Goat. Regarding the feminine principle—the Way of the Earth—it is gradually rising to prominence. Particularly concerning the status of women in the household in the future, their responsibilities will become even more substantial than those of men in the patriarchal system. Precisely because women serve as the foundation, men have something to rely upon; it is with women as the center that stability is achieved.
The existence of human beings is largely based on the male as the reference point. However, after the "Wu-Wei" period, women have gradually taken on the overall responsibility of the family. Therefore, it is absolutely true that women will become the reference point of the household in the future. As for men today, do not be discouraged; try thinking from a different perspective!
Since everyone is born of a mother, and it is not the father who carries the pregnancy; moreover, the time for men to bear children has not yet arrived, humanity will continue to be rooted in women, and it is through them that the entire family is created, all for the sake of sustaining a "happy, complete, and harmonious family." For most of humanity, this foundation relies on the upbringing provided by the mother.
All causal conditions rely on and sustain the whole out of necessity, and precisely because of such conditions, it is essential for humanity to understand: within one's own family lies the very foundation of happiness, which is the necessary refuge from all external storms; and it is through this that human beings evolve, ascending and growing from the present moment.
Looking back over the past several millennia, although society has been built upon a patriarchal foundation, every human being has been nurtured and educated by a mother. It is she who lays the groundwork for all moral cultivation and, moreover, elevates the father to the position of head of the household. This unassuming yet extraordinary greatness exists in every family: that of the mother.
The Ancient Buddha Dipankara said: The head of a household, typically the male, is considered the primary support. In the present day, how should one better establish a foundation for survival? It is essential to understand: the wellspring of a family’s happiness largely stems from the foundation of "motherly education," not merely from the father’s efforts alone. Is this not so?
Without a mother's diligent care, how could there be a greater foundation for happiness? As the ancients said: "A rooster raising chicks struggles to pull the plow, while a hen raising chicks does so with ease." In such circumstances, especially for mothers, all credit is often attributed to the father. Yet, it is the mother's nurturing and teachings that truly lay the solid groundwork.
It also yields beneficial effects. In the human world, consider the toils of both parents: may I ask, who generally endures more hardship? Please answer. (The response should be: the mother.) Exactly so! In most cases, the mother bears greater hardship, and moreover, she often shoulders the burden alone, taking all responsibilities upon herself.
It is rare for the father alone to bear all responsibilities; hence arises the notion: to build a "happy and harmonious family" through the joint efforts of both father and mother. All people hope for a life of happiness for the entire family. This set of conditions and circumstances is particularly relevant after children have established their own households and started new branches of the family.
At this moment, each individual may reflect on their own mindset and perspective: do they also aspire to follow in the footsteps of their parents, striving to establish a "happy, harmonious, and fulfilling family"? Precisely so! This shared human aspiration manifests in diverse ways of conduct and commitment: how can we elevate the culture of family education? This must undoubtedly be guided by parents themselves!
The Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue said: For all human beings, it is the longing for a "happy family" akin to that of one's parents! Across different times and spaces, there is the aspiration to propel oneself toward establishing a "happy, harmonious, and fulfilling family." At this point, one must draw upon all the teachings and examples set by one's parents to achieve even greater growth.
This is the aspiration: all humanity hopes that the families they build can thrive like "happy, harmonious, and wholesome families." Thus, there is the belief that through earnest effort, one can shield themselves from all external storms and many undesirable circumstances, accumulating virtuous experiences along the way.
Thus, there is a necessity for a family to have comfort and stability. Therefore, whether a small family can be "filled with happiness" depends on the presence of good education and culture! For all humanity to achieve greater "happy families," it is essential to understand that this must begin with the practice and cultivation of each small household.
The Ancient Lamp-Lighting Buddha said: This is precisely what every human being hopes for! And because of this, can a small family in the human world achieve greater growth and benefit? At this moment, it is essential to understand: For a small family in the human world to attain "growth in virtue," it must be observed through the educational culture imparted by the parents—only then can it be achieved!
Otherwise, can humanity truly achieve substantial progress? Not necessarily! For this reason, human evolution toward greater goodness and effectiveness must be fostered through education provided by parents, schools, and religion, supplemented by the collective justice of society. This forms the wholesome conditions capable of nurturing small "happy, harmonious, and wholesome families."
If one cannot possess such favorable and virtuous causes and conditions, can they comprehend that the necessity for the evolution and elevation of human beings all stems from whether each individual's hopes and aspirations can be realized? This is determined by observing all the educational and cultural foundations that precede them! It is precisely upon such a foundation that human beings can truly reap virtuous benefits.
Furthermore, regarding our existence in the human world, most of it arises from the manifestation of "ignorance," which in turn creates the continuity of all "causes, conditions, and effects," ultimately shaping every karmic retribution. Consider for a moment whether this is indeed the case. It is not merely through effort that everything can be changed; often, the intangible aspects of existence surpass all foundations of the phenomenal world!
The Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue said: In the human world, there exist diverse thoughts and perspectives. Integrating all aspects of present existence, these conditions utilize the necessity of all human practices to foster greater growth and benefit. Therefore, for every sentient being, is there necessarily a wholesome and beneficial outcome? Not necessarily! It also depends on the actions of each individual.
In this human world, different "causes, conditions, and effects" must be repaid and endured, requiring a certain period of time before change can occur once the repayment is complete. If human beings evade the retribution and consequences of these causes, conditions, and effects, they often create many unavoidable circumstances that compel them to return for another lifetime. Thus, in this human world, are there truly benevolent causes, conditions, and effects?
Moreover, what humanity achieves in this life is only a part; the rest, a significant portion, is accumulated from past lives, and this life is precisely for repayment! It offers all sentient beings a great opportunity for cultivation and transformation. In facing this human world, one must be "willing and content" to settle each and every debt—this is absolutely true!

##Western Ornament of Culture Bodhisattva

The Great Way unites all in happiness;  
All lovers in the world are cared for.
A series of thirty-six volumes, assisting humanity in achieving unity and fulfillment.
The Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue said: Sentient beings, upon entering the human world, rely on the virtue and grace of heaven and earth for their families, attaching themselves to true and complete happiness. Such conditions of cause and effect can be described as a harbor of refuge against external storms! It can be said: Human beings, under such conditions, enter into a dependence on survival orientation, which must be nurtured with goodness and growth!
Because a small family can serve as a buffer against all external survival pressures, the orientation toward survival has evolved differently across past and present eras. In the past, humanity generally faced fewer survival pressures. In the current age, however, not every individual’s stress is visibly apparent.
However, one can see that for every human being, there exists a considerable "pressure." This kind of pressure, when viewed from the human perspective, is an intangible form of stress, which surpasses tangible pressure. How can it be alleviated? Often, people carry this intangible burden upon themselves; it is only by learning to let go that change can occur.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said: In the human world, the existence of such pressure carries considerable destructive power. Though it may not involve literal blades to harm oneself or others, it forms a heavy burden amid all the pressures of human survival. In the present era, even in the pursuit of basic sustenance, humanity forces itself to live under immense strain.
This often places an unbearable and inescapable burden on humanity. Therefore, in the current era, it is essential to have various channels to relieve the pressures one faces, such as: traveling and sightseeing, dining and entertainment, attending concerts, reading and writing, karaoke, and many other personal preferences for alleviating the stresses of life.
Therefore, in the present era, although human beings generally enjoy abundant clothing and food, along with convenient and comfortable living conditions, they also face increasing intangible pressures. Consequently, it is essential to engage in educational and cultural curricula for personal growth. This will enable individuals to meet the livelihood requirements of various future professions and benefit themselves.
We can observe: does every human being, after a certain period of time, change the continuation of their original profession? Such conditions and circumstances are mostly like this! It can be said that by adding knowledge and wisdom related to different professions, many different abilities are cultivated and created.
Thus, even the industries one manages or the careers one pursues throughout a lifetime are not immutable; this is precisely why human beings in the contemporary era must learn to construct knowledge across many different fields, while also accumulating the experience and wisdom necessary for survival.
It takes a certain period of time before one can make use of it; some may not even know how to use it at all. This all depends on the retribution of each individual's "cause, condition, and effect," which is indeed never the same! Human beings strive merely for the comfort of a warm and well-fed home! They work hard alongside their livelihoods, while also immersing themselves in their professions to serve others.
The Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue said: One may ponder upon such conditions: Why do human beings engage in such behaviors and actions? The answer lies in this: merely for the sake of warmth, sustenance, and comfort! In truth, for human beings, if the goal were only warmth, sustenance, and comfort, it would be quite simple to achieve. What is most feared is the conduct of "human greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant," coupled with insatiable desires.
At the same time, there exists a tendency driven by the pursuit of survival, directed toward the demands of humanity. If it were merely about comfort and sustenance, that would be too simple! Humanity then embarks on a creative advancement, for after securing their own sustenance, they inevitably desire more—especially in terms of possessing wealth, and this is even more so the case.
Thus, having ten thousand, one desires a hundred thousand; having a hundred thousand, one still craves a million, ten million, a hundred million... Such beings among humanity seem never content with the present moment throughout their entire lives, especially in the world of today! Do they truly not realize that in this lifetime they have come into the human world, all they seek is merely currency?
If one's goal is merely to live a life of warmth, comfort, and ease, then there is no need to exert excessive effort to amass the common currency of the world. In this mortal realm, does that not seem a bit too greedy? Yet, it appears that most people fail to realize: what is so wrong about this desire for currency?
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said: In the mortal world, each person's fate differs from the moment they are born. Often, a mere half-ounce difference in destiny can lead one to become a boss, another a partner, and yet another an employee... Such varied destinies are indeed diverse. In truth, diligence is essential, yet sometimes, even with effort, success is not guaranteed!
The outcome depends on the efforts each individual makes, and also on each person's circumstances: the timing, destiny, and fortune. The varying conditions and causes create significant differences in discerning the distinct life paths of individuals! Can humanity understand this: to desire warmth, sustenance, and comfort for a small family—if one strives diligently, there will surely be rewards!
Moreover, humanity has always possessed a condition known as "creative advancement," also referred to as the endeavor of "creation." It is through this "creative advancement and creation" that human beings rely on to secure all forms of warmth, sustenance, and comfort. Consequently, many people are able to fully embody this condition and are less likely to commit evil deeds in the human world.
The saying "a man whose heart is not content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant" warns of the danger of insatiable desire: having one thing, one craves another; having that, one yearns for something different. Thus, whether sentient beings can discern their own desires depends on self-reflection: is it driven by greed, or is it accompanied by contentment? One must observe whether each individual makes the effort to do so.
Human beings must understand: they will receive various blessings bestowed upon themselves. As the ancients said: "A single position of honor is worth a thousand pieces of gold, yet three taels of blessings are required; a position of ten thousand gold's worth lies within blessings upon blessings." Now observe what young people today think! In fact, establishing a small family is relatively easy; it also depends on the emotional commitment both partners invest.
Would others be willing to dedicate their entire youth to your small family for a lifetime? In this world, it is within a small family that one can find a more complete and fulfilling happiness; therefore, in human society, it is essential for both husband and wife to work together and live in harmony.
The ancients said, "When husband and wife are of one mind, even clay can turn to gold." This union of husband and wife in forming a family is precisely the "foundation of the Great Way," not merely a superficial display. Why is it that some couples, in jointly managing a small household, can achieve abundant happiness and even bring harmony and joy to the entire family?
Why is it that despite my utmost efforts, the other party may not understand or appreciate all that I have done? In truth, the reason lies in this: the efforts I have made are still insufficient to move the other person, which means my endeavors must be further strengthened. Moreover, the efforts directed towards the marital bond, under such conditions of karma, have yet to be fully realized and perfected.
In the world, it is said that "even the teeth and tongue, which are close companions, can sometimes bite each other" (a Taiwanese saying). When a husband and wife spend much time together, it is inevitable that some friction will arise. As long as there is no harboring of resentment in this world, one can use the method of "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds" to dissolve the estrangement and gaps between the couple. There will certainly be room for good-hearted reconciliation and resolution.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said: What is called a "small family" in the mortal world is precisely the kind of family that Heaven regards as the most excellent—one that truly understands and appreciates all the efforts dedicated to its cultivation. Can humanity comprehend this: When it comes to conflicts and obstacles between husband and wife, in truth, if both sides take a step back, a "harmonious and blissful family" will naturally emerge to nurture them.
Looking back now, why couldn't I hold back that surge of resentment? Actually! Between husband and wife! It's like two puppies barking, biting, and fighting—all over a tiny grievance. If neither yields, it sparks a huge explosion, isn't that so? When you think back after the matter has passed, it seems like there was no real problem at all.
It was all just for the sake of pride. Only after such a fierce fight did I realize that the issue wasn't that serious at all. As the saying goes: "Husband and wife are like adversaries!" The Taiwanese proverb says, "Adversaries, adversaries—without conflict, there is no marriage." From this, one might conclude that what is called happiness in this world seems to be built upon bickering and quarrels. Is that truly the case?
Having realized it, indeed! There are no truly insurmountable problems—have all sentient beings clearly seen this? If not, then you, as a couple, will still have many opportunities to quarrel, bicker, and struggle. This means there are still ample chances for tempering! It will also lead to frequent disputes between husband and wife over many trivial matters—but why must it be so?
Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens
Even in the smallest of homes, problems arise and quarrels ensue.
Not only your family alone,  
All under heaven are like sprouts.
Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue:
The Great Dao unites all as one family, while the human world is bound by emotions, leaving little leisure for clarity.
A quarrel between husband and wife is but a moment's anger—why not yield a little to each other?
This verse! Let us encourage one another, fellow sentient beings, to recognize that the "Great Dao as One Family" truly begins with one's own "small family," then extends to the "middle family," and ultimately, based on the "great family," radiates to all five teachings alike. Why then should we contend over all the disputes, great and small, in this human world? It is truly not worth it!
If one wishes to ascend and grow, it is essential to clearly see all the contradictory actions in the human world! Whether one can dissolve these contradictions without being affected by opposing forces determines the ability to rise, improve, and transcend. Thank you all for accompanying us in this work. Our two immortal teachers also wish to express their gratitude: Thank you for your companionship in this endeavor. Farewell, everyone!

Gathering with all the divine beings of Chongxin.
May all your hard work bring fulfillment, and may the family's endeavors surely come to fruition.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the two immortal teachers—the Honorable Chairman of our lineage, Namo Xukong Shangde Rentiangu Gufo, and the Great Tao Heart Sect’s Human-Heaven Master, Jiutian Xuannü Xiangu—have descended to compose the fourth chapter of "The Great Tao as One Family": Humanity as One Family, the Source of Happiness.
Regarding marital disputes, it is always possible to rebuild a "happier and more harmonious family." This timeless teaching is not only relevant today but has remained the same from ancient times to the present. Can we recognize that in the human world, such conditions and connections exist? By relying on the foundation of a small family, we can then progress and grow further.
The unity between the middle and great families lies precisely in coming into the world to "serve oneself and serve all beings"! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can possess the energy to serve all beings. Do not think of oneself as too great—the higher one stands, the lower one should bow. Can you understand? Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Twenty-One: Varying Capacities and Graded Distinctions
## Western Daoyan Bodhisattva
May 13, 2014, the fifteenth day of the fourth month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The lineage of the Heart Reverence School records the celestial texts, spreading their virtuous grace throughout the world.
The Dao Series, Thirty-Six Volumes: All Sentient Beings Dwell as One Family
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said: The essence of the Great Dao is centered upon humanity. In this mortal world, it is essential that yin and yang unite in mutual harmony to form a family. Such a family constitutes the fundamental basis of human ethics and morality. Thus, it is through the pursuit of existence that this is achieved, embodying the very necessity of a peaceful and comfortable life.
It also allows the entire family to have the opportunity for a comfortable existence; for all human beings, the "union of yin and yang" forms a small family. In this human world, there emerges a necessity for daily life and a fusion of essential human needs. Thus, it can be observed that in this world, people rely on and support one another.
For a small family to exist and live without want is the true path! In this world, it is through all human beings engaging in various professions that the necessities of life are sustained. This is achieved through the interactions among people, and such conditions are essential for all sentient beings to live and work in peace and contentment.
Ma Xiangu said: At the same time, it is precisely by coexisting within a larger community that mutual assistance in survival becomes necessary; therefore, it is through the union of yin and yang among human beings, forming husband and wife, that the opportunity for continuation and inheritance arises.
Human beings evolve into a small family, within which each member hopes to live in peace and contentment, with no lack of food or clothing. This also promotes the prosperity of the family, allowing its lineage to continue endlessly. Moreover, such conditions of cause and effect foster mutual support among all human beings within the greater family as a whole.
For me: how can I help this family achieve lasting prosperity? This is also what every sentient being hopes for in their pursuit of survival—to attain enduring prosperity and the necessity of mutual support. In the human world, we rely on the essential principles of the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Anchors and Eight Virtues.
In the human world, there exists a mutual fulfillment of universal principles, which gives rise to regulations and models. All human beings hope that the environment in which they live is one of enduring peace and stability. Under such conditions of cause and effect, each individual is destined to build a small family of their own.
In the living environments of ancient extended families, up to the present era, there has been a shift toward smaller family units. This change essentially addresses the shortcomings of the former large-family structure by creating a more favorable living environment for women. Following the transition between the noon and the afternoon hours, in contemporary times, numerous small families have emerged among humanity.
Everyone can observe carefully: among those around you, more than sixty percent are already like this! In this world, it is within such small families that the foundation is laid. Both husband and wife must have good support and must also support each other well, in order to build a good and harmonious family.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens said: Moreover, if one can provide good education and moral guidance to children, it will help ensure the necessary transmission of education to future generations. In the existence of human society, it is not only a Kun (feminine) figure who can preside over a small family; the necessity of assistance from a Qian (masculine) figure also exists. Only then can the overall comfort and harmony of the family be achieved.
Consider this: if it is as described—where the Kun principle rises to prominence, then the Qian principle becomes overshadowed—from the perspective of the Qian principle, would that not seem rather unjust? Indeed, it would not! In the human world, every event is brought about through different times, spaces, and conditions, and it is only when both Qian and Kun principles serve as the central axis that the true path is realized!
If there were only a mother, let us consider further: could she alone manage all responsibilities? Not necessarily! There would still be a need for a father, embodying the masculine principle, to assist and support the construction of the family as a whole. Without the support of the fatherly role, what would people say? It would seem as though the father holds no significant position!
Yet without a father, there would be no "happy and complete family." How significant, then, is the role this father—this dad—undertakes? It is truly of utmost importance! Do you all sense this? When there is only a mother and no father, does it lack a spiritual pillar? Is this something we would want? Surely not!
Thus, even a small family requires parents to uphold the overall happiness and completeness of the household, fostering a "happy and harmonious family." This is an essential framework that humanity must faithfully implement! It will lead to a wholesome way of life, promote the dissemination of the "New Three Bonds," and benefit all of humanity.
Immortal Ma said: In the human world, there exist different orientations toward survival, and each human being possesses varying blessings to augment. As long as one is willing to strive diligently without excessive calculation, correspondingly, one will cultivate virtuous karma, thereby fostering favorable blessings for oneself. By relying on the harmony and comfort of the entire family, one can attain a favorable living space.
In this world, such beings enjoy a more comfortable living environment. The circumstances and conditions for humanity and all living beings in the present time and space have long been different from those of the past. All "causes, conditions, and effects" now manifest as favorable and virtuous conditions. As a result, it has become easier for humanity to attain happiness and comfort within families, leading to a harmonious and fulfilling orientation toward life.
This condition of dependent origination provides a benevolent support for the "greater community" by relying on the "intermediate community," thereby enabling each individual to have a "small family" for survival and granting every human being the opportunity to grow and progress. Consider further: if throughout your life’s journey, you are blessed with favorable karma and fortune.
When there are no issues to speak of, may I ask everyone: will the emptiness within you continue to manifest? Does this truly contribute to the uplifting of humanity? On the contrary, it can be a powerful destructive force! Why is this so? If the purpose of human existence is to serve all beings, do people truly feel this way? Not necessarily!
It also prompts one to consider how, throughout one's life, one can both elevate oneself and serve all humanity. Regardless of whether you desire it or not, for you: once you enter human society, this is precisely how it is. This is the benevolent and skillful arrangement of Heaven, which does not distinguish whether humanity desires it or not—it remains so regardless!
This allows one to avoid being overly self-centered, for if one accomplishes not even a little merit in the human world, the opportunity to be reborn as a human in the next life may be lost. Why is this so? In the human world, every sentient being has a small family to rely upon.
The Immortal Maiden says: Whether married or not, it is all the same. This is because you rely on serving this small family in your life—do you believe this? If you do not believe, and you serve others (all beings), then in turn, when others serve you, it should be the result of your own accumulated merit.
Conversely, it can also be seen as a burden. How can one see through this kind of burden? Not serving sentient beings? It fundamentally does not exist, and even if it did, it would not be much. This is because, for all sentient beings, each person relies on a small family unit. Only through this can parents, spouses, siblings, children, and grandchildren live together as relatives.
Moreover, this lineage will continue to be passed down indefinitely. From this, one can observe that the children and descendants born to a single couple, in a relatively short span of just fifty years, can multiply into tens or even hundreds to carry on the family line. Conversely, there are those whose families are less prosperous; even over the same fifty years, their population may only number in the single digits or a dozen or so.
Regardless of whether you are part of the current lineage or not, everyone hopes to have a "happy, complete, and harmonious family," rather than merely a "happy and harmonious family." Though only one word differs, why is the gap so significant? The term "harmonious" primarily refers to the relationship between the couple, while "complete" encompasses the entire family as a whole. What, then, is the essence of this distinction?
Humanity has long pondered: Why does the Heavens seek to revise the "New Three Cardinal Guides" for humankind? This immense mission has long been entrusted to the Chongxin lineage, offering everyone the opportunity to practice and propagate it. It is only hoped that all may become vanguards of the Great Dao, spreading its teachings far and wide, thereby serving both themselves and all sentient beings simultaneously.
Is everyone willing to do this? "It is essential to have willingness, not resentment." If you only put in minimal effort and start complaining as soon as you encounter obstacles, it is definitely not a good sign for you. Accumulating merits in the unseen realm works precisely this way. If you properly settle your own family affairs, the heavens will reward all your efforts—truly, "your dedication will yield good and virtuous results"!
Ma Xiangu:
A virtuous and harmonious family,  
Where husband and wife are alike in form and spirit.
Be it the whole family or the individual,  
Support each other and share mutual affection.
The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens
Heaven's decree is entrusted to Chongxin,  
Transforming the new principles of the Three Bonds into practice.
To bring benefit to humanity, and to foster happy and harmonious families.
This verse! It encourages all fellow human beings, serving yourself and serving all sentient beings. Do not think this is merely the words of the immortal and Buddha teachers. Reflect deeply, for such is the nature of the human world—you will surely come to understand the profound care and earnest intention of the immortal and Buddha teachers! Strive together, everyone—are you willing? Do you possess great vow-power? And let there be no resentment!
Thank you all for your hard work. Our two immortal teachers would also like to say: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. Farewell!

The Immortal Maiden of the Limitless Principle ascends,  
Gathering with all divine beings of shared affection.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Cherished is a family of happiness.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Dao Heart Sect’s Master of Humanity and Heaven, the Immortal Maiden Jiutian Xuannü, along with the Vice-Chairperson of our sect lineage, Immortal Maiden Ma, two immortal and buddha teachers, have jointly descended to compose the fifth chapter of *Great Dao, One Family*, offering teachings and analysis on the principle that "all affectionate humanity belongs to one family."
Regarding parents: both support each other within the family as a whole, without distinguishing between future matriarchal societies, nor can we lack the inheritance passed down by the father. This is an issue that everyone must understand. All things in the future are arranged by Heaven, which grants everyone the opportunity to grow and transcend with goodness, thereby reducing many adverse social costs!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can join in and strive to study diligently. It is essential to understand that all our actions in this life are, in reality, both serving ourselves and serving all beings. If such an aspiration exists within you, it will surely manifest; if not, it remains merely the words of immortals and buddhas spoken by immortals and buddhas alone. Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!
Chapter Twenty-Three: Quantum Technology, Evolving Life
##Westward Path Manifestation Bodhisattva
May 20, 2014, the twenty-second day of the fourth lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
Da Dao Series, Thirty-Six Volumes: A single family's works must be in harmony.
Promote and spread throughout the world,  
May all individuals attain the wisdom of Prajna.
Ji Gong, the Living Buddha, said: When human beings enter the world, they are guided by different practices and pursuits. For all sentient beings in the process of nurturing life, it is essential to begin all survival orientations from a small family. This condition of karma is the same for every sentient being, especially humans, who all need the warmth of a family.
Through various temporal and spatial causes and conditions, the present era has been propelled to elevate and transcend toward higher wisdom for all sentient beings. Such causes and conditions give rise to diverse orientations toward existence in the human world. Particularly from the perspective of human society: sentient beings, under these circumstances, enter into the realm of survival, without distinction for the individual existence of each human being.
Whether living in different countries, there arises a mutual interdependence of conditions that serve as support. In the present era, humanity has further evolved toward the widespread availability of comfort, safety, and convenience. For a family, it is essential to have parents, children, grandchildren, and other relatives come together to form a wholesome family life.
From ancient times to the present, this has consistently been applied through the evolution of the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Principles and Eight Virtues. For the multitude of people today, there exist different dependencies for survival, and in relation to the ethical and moral regulations of the past, it is indeed necessary in the human world to distinguish between upward elevation and downward decline.
Due to the circumstances of the time and space, the impact on the survival of humanity was immense. This led to the influence of Western trends spreading eastward, causing the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains to indiscriminately accept both the good and the bad from others. As a result, it became difficult to adopt the beneficial aspects, while the undesirable habits were eagerly embraced and pursued.
In this mortal world, the impact will challenge the so-called "principles of social order and ethical regulations" upheld by the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains. It will also bring about the transition between the hours of Wu and Wei: the Kun principle begins to rise! One must understand: throughout the past several millennia, the Kun principle has merely survived by depending on the Qian principle. Yet now it can be said that the Kun principle is gradually rising to prominence!
However, regarding all human dependencies, is it truly necessary for the small family unit to have the feminine and masculine principles mutually integrated, without distinguishing the alternation of noon and dusk to carry it out? This is precisely what it entails: relying on the ethical norms and moral principles of the Central Land's Yan and Huang, which is the right path! It is also through the human relationships within the family—specifically the union of husband and wife—that the entire family thrives and prospers!
The Virtuous Bright King said: Without distinguishing among human beings and sentient beings, it is essential to understand that in the realm of Kun (the feminine principle), all who bear responsibilities hold considerable practical authority. Yet, as their missions become even more weighty, how can they mutually assist a Qian (the masculine principle) to uphold the overall happiness and fulfillment of the family? This is a concept that humanity must comprehend in the present age.
Thus it is said: The path of Kun has undergone thousands of years of evolution before the present generation could witness the rise of a "maternal radiance" as the foundation of its own family. Therefore, no matter how prosperous the times and conditions may become, it is essential to understand: For every family, both the path of Kun and the path of Qian must jointly support the flourishing of the entire household.
This also fosters the radiance of motherhood, making it even more prosperous compared to the patriarchal society of the past! Therefore, in the human world, the orientation toward survival has emerged: whether one enters religious faith or seeks sustenance in life, such conditions of karma, in this time and space of the human realm, are guided by the principle that "the journey of life begins with the family."
In the human world, the advancement of evolution is not solely dependent on faith and spiritual practice. In fact, within the conditions that sustain human life, there exist diverse orientations for survival. It is essential to adhere to the fundamental ethical principles of human society and to guide one's actions accordingly.
Thus, there is greater space for individuals to advance towards greater growth in their future. This is precisely what the Heavens regard as the genetic essence for elevating humanity in the current era to a higher level of evolution! This also raises the question: Are human beings able to discern, amidst survival and faith, how to rely on the present moment?
How can one ascend and transcend, rather than descend into cyclical stagnation! This is precisely the divine will for sentient beings to evolve and achieve greater elevation! Through the Daodao series works authored by the Chongxin lineage, it further analyzes and distinguishes all past varying karmic connections. From the very beginning of human life, it relies on the mysteries of heaven and earth to establish a comprehensive educational and cultural curriculum.
Master Jigong, the Living Buddha, said: This seed has traversed all past existences, and further manifests the true meaning of heaven and earth in its practice. It serves as a foundation for different human behaviors, evolving into an elucidation of cause, condition, and effect, thereby tracing back all past causes and conditions. This also interweaves the entire evolutionary process of the cosmic galaxies, linking it to the human world.
Through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, all works over these seventeen years have progressed toward even more sublime growth and transcendence. Now, we have entered the creation of the thirty-sixth volume of the Dadao series, "Dadao Yijia" (The Great Dao as One Family). This extraordinary affinity, observed from its very inception, has evolved step by step, forming a unique exposition of the mysteries of the celestial realms in each distinct era.
Only this series of sacred texts has been composed in such a manner, and it is solely the Chongxin lineage that holds this unparalleled position in the world. Should there be other authors, it would be exceedingly difficult for them to penetrate the profound judgment of the Buddhist supreme principle known as "Consciousness-Only doctrine." Therefore, the evolution of human society under such conditions of karma is carried out with varying circumstances and perspectives in the present moment.
It is essential for all human beings to understand that this world, as a habitable time and space, will not endure for long. Approximately every century, it must undergo a renewed cycle of reincarnation between the human realm and the underworld. If such time and space were to last too long, one might come to realize that each successive cycle merely involves a change of name!
Engaged in various families merely for the sake of continuation! Have you ever felt that with each cycle of reincarnation, one gives birth to a multitude of children and grandchildren, and in each lifetime, there are different orientations of existence to which one becomes attached! You should understand that the conduct of life begins with each small family in every cycle of reincarnation, thus repeating itself endlessly.
Life after life, returning time and again, the flow of time and space has always been this way. Does this give a sense of breaking free from the cyclical pattern of reincarnation? It is extremely difficult! This is because, in their approach to survival, human beings are just like this—so too with religious faith. It is exceedingly hard for them to recognize their own repeated births across countless lifetimes. Have you all seen this clearly? Not at all!
Therefore, there are many helpless situations in the human world. What can be done after this life passes? What can be done after the next life passes? The verse, "In life, as we navigate the world, if all we rely on remains unchanged, it will become difficult to turn back, repeating the cycle of reincarnation countless times," helps everyone understand: the self of today is precisely like this!
How much has truly changed through all the cycles of repeated rebirth and existence? Ah! Upon careful reflection, it seems nothing has changed—yet perhaps there is a faint glimmer of purpose now. Is this so? Can everyone understand: for me, it is essential to recognize that "the practice of life begins with the small and humble." Can this be elevated and expanded? It is exceedingly difficult!
The Virtuous and Enlightened King said: "A single discourse from the Buddha of Salvation surpasses the taste of supreme nectar; though one may travel countless roads, it is difficult to understand who I truly am." Is this indeed the case? Moreover, in the present time and space, you have already entered the lineage of the Revered Heart Sect. Can you grasp this opportunity: In this very lifetime, I can achieve greater elevation and transcendence! In this human world, there lies immense potential for growth and such pivotal moments.
How can this be implemented by a small family! This small family is the harbor that shelters you from all the external storms and hardships in this present life. How to properly care for this small home, rather than focusing solely on spiritual practice, is indeed of utmost importance. In this way, the mutual cycles of human society will be rightful and correct.
However, the crucial prerequisite lies in whether one has placed their bets correctly. If the bet is right, yet one fails to strive diligently for upward growth and merely fixates on all survival-oriented pursuits of a small family, any desire for advancement, elevation, or transcendence is undoubtedly nothing more than a "frog in a well gazing at the sky"—a delusional fantasy!
Furthermore, how should the ethical and moral regulations concerning human relationships be implemented? It becomes impossible to meet even the most basic standards! This kind of cultivation of "human virtues," when further developed through "earthly virtues," makes it difficult to gain genuine benefits or to transcend and elevate oneself. It can be said that religious faith is commendable—at the very least, it prevents one from committing evil deeds.
Nor will it increase the causes of suffering. To put it plainly, it is essential to understand that the cycle of cause and effect is directed at the present moment: how, starting from the practice within a small family and the beginning of all human life, one can move toward a more transcendent growth and elevation, rather than merely "living in a drunken stupor," only to allow oneself to enter the cycle of rebirth in the next life once again!
All that exists merely changes its form and name, only to bring forth a multitude of descendants—what can be done about it? This is an unwise course of action. In the human world, it is essential to understand the "true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth." By comparing it with one's own life and sustenance, one can discern that the purpose of human existence lies in growth and elevation. How, then, should this be achieved?
Fude Mingwang:

English translation:
Toil and hardship endure through generations, each life donning a new form.
Whether transformed into man or woman, all are the same;  
The cycle of rebirth is complex, obscuring the true essence.
Jigong Living Buddha:
A public spirit to aid the world spans the universe;  
With lively insight, observe the Buddha's deeds.
Strive upward with greater effort,  
to cultivate growth and yield fine results.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among people in the world. For all sentient beings, there exist different orientations and dependencies in the pursuit of survival, and simultaneously, each individual may or may not have chosen correctly! This is an undeniable truth, representing a genuine upward growth. Otherwise, observing humanity, if one consistently fails to make the right choices, it merely becomes a case of mechanically copying without understanding.
To become an immortal or a Buddha, one must await the right opportunity. Even those who have entered the path of religious faith and practice cannot clearly perceive such conditions, let alone ordinary beings. What can be done? Thank you all for attending today's birthday celebration. Our two teachers also wish to express their gratitude: Thank you for your companionship. Farewell!

From the West descends to the Hall of Reverent Heart,  
The literary theme, with wondrous brush, blossoms in art.
When bodhisattvas gather with divine beings,  
All are blessed with fortune and wisdom ever-growing.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the two immortal teachers from our sect—the Living Buddha Jigong of the Void and the Virtue and Brightness King of the Void—have descended to compose the sixth chapter of "The Great Tao as One Family." They will elucidate and analyze the first half of the segment titled "Cultivation in Life Begins with the Small Family."
Have you ever considered that all the transformations across your many lifetimes are merely changes of body and name? Soon, you give birth to a multitude of children and grandchildren—is this not so? Can you see through this cycle of conditioned existence in the human realm? Can you bring it to a halt? Or will you continue to revolve in samsara? Do you all understand?
Not necessarily! Don't answer too quickly—some can, while others are just here to watch the play of life, and that's fine too! Alright, tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Tomorrow night, the Zen master will give another lecture. Will you be able to grasp the profound wisdom hidden in the words of the immortals and Buddhas today?
To understand this is to be a great sage; if you cannot comprehend it, then you must redouble your efforts. Do not merely "change bodies and names" from one lifetime to the next, only to bring forth countless descendants and repeatedly reincarnate among them, returning as your own descendants. This is your own accomplishment—reflect deeply upon it! Farewell!
Chapter 25: The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Supreme Great Dao, Volume Two (Part 1)
## The Bodhisattva of Western Principle Sutra
May 30, 2014, the second day of the fifth month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Great Way unfolds in the mortal realm,  
Teaching sentient beings the good causes and conditions.
Return to Transcendence and Perfection Chapter  
Harmony, Joy, and the Foundation of Primordial Nature
Immortal Lide said: When human society enters the orientation of survival, the existence of the family emerges. This existence greatly elevates human society, especially for the multitude of human beings, as it is precisely the family that serves as the foundation. The function of this "family happiness" is primarily rooted in "harmony and unity."
This illustrates that in the human world, the evolution of heaven and earth, as well as the movements of the celestial bodies, all follow the same principles. Moreover, the same holds true for the unfolding of the great cosmos! Without harmony and unity, there would be no mutual balance and support. Let us further reflect: in the human world, there should be no distinctions—this applies equally to all times, spaces, and nations!
Thus, there is such a saying: the distinction lies in whether one engages in conflict or harmony, which can be mutually supportive in human society. Especially for a small family, if it is caught in a state of discord, it is likely unbearable for the members of that household. From the perspective of parents and elders, if a family is embroiled in strife, no matter how wealthy it may be, it is as if it had nothing at all.
If a small family is founded on harmony, no matter how lacking it may be, it will still be filled with the joy of happiness and contentment. As the ancients said, "When a family lives in harmony, all endeavors prosper; when a family is torn by strife, all affairs stagnate." From the perspective of human existence, all pursuits in life ultimately begin with and rely on this small family as their foundation.
Therefore, for the sustenance of human survival, there exists a principle: starting from the small family unit, the small family can then serve as a complete foundation for mutual support, which highlights the necessity of interdependence! Looking back about 30 years ago, for many young people before marriage, unions were formed based on mutual affection between men and women.
Thus, in the past, were many issues ever taken into consideration? Comparatively, there were no such ideological concerns; as long as both parties felt affection, they could enter into marriage. How could it be like the present era, where young people consider too much and dare not even think of marriage? In this way, the couples of those days have now become parents.
Furthermore, some have already become grandfathers and grandmothers; have they considered whether these two newcomers will rely on them for future survival? To be honest, this couple is more than willing to work hand in hand, supporting and caring for the entire family together. They are also determined to strive diligently, all for the sake of "family happiness."
In such a fundamental state, both parties are willing to devote everything wholeheartedly, embracing even the hardest of efforts with joy. Together, they give their all for each other, striving to build a good and happy family. This traditional condition was once passed down as part of an excellent culture. However, whether today's younger generation can still learn from it is far from certain.
The Sage Immortal Maiden said: In such a union of husband and wife across time and space, both parties coexist in harmonious accord, never harboring any intention of improper conduct. Particularly in this context, infidelity is regarded as a disgrace, and the couple mutually supports one another, striving together to build a harmonious, joyful, and blissfully complete family.
Together, they strive for the overall family, and thus, many couples also have the role of bearing children after a period of time, after which they can acquire property. This can be observed: in the past, the circumstances of time and space were not very conducive to survival, yet they managed to create many young couples who worked together to build a small, happy family.
Those who willingly give of themselves are found everywhere. This generation of young people has now entered the middle and later stages of life, reaping the rewards and enjoying the pleasures of family life. Such circumstances and conditions are clearly visible to all, especially when reflecting on how couples, who originally had no plans at all, have navigated their marriages thereafter.
Thus, it has consistently sustained the prosperity of the entire family. This serves as a benevolent example in the human world, offering all humanity the understanding that no matter how challenging married life may be, as long as both partners cherish each other, they will willingly dedicate themselves to this small family.
In this world, most parents have lived their lives in this way. In truth, for a harmonious marital bond in the human realm, it is essential for husband and wife to mutually support and sacrifice for the sake of their small family. By doing so, they cultivate a virtuous and fortunate marriage, ultimately forming a "happy and harmonious family."
Rather than being like many young people today, who fall for one person, then think of another, and then desire yet another, such that one becomes rather indiscriminate in affection—what the world calls "promiscuous love." Such young people are everywhere, simply unable to remain content with a single partner.
Thus, consider this: to see one and love one, think of one, then fancy another, and even desire yet another—could one find happiness with such a person as a partner? It would indeed be very difficult! As the ancients said: "Even a vendor of scallions and vegetables would not willingly share a husband with others—in Taiwanese dialect." In the relationship between husband and wife, this is the most taboo of issues.
In the same way, it applies to both spouses: if a wife has an affair and brings back a "green hat" for her husband, is it likely to bring happiness to this small family? It is highly improbable! Most likely, it will end in separation, which is truly regrettable! Often, it is only a fleeting moment of pleasure.
Immortal Lide said: In the human world, one may observe this: starting from a small family, which is the foundation upon which humans rely, does the happiness of such a small family depend on establishing mutual trust between both parties, while avoiding any other harmful behaviors? Hence the saying: "One spouse goes unnoticed, two spouses compete and betray, three spouses weep in sorrow, four spouses are truly helpless."
Thus, even with a fortune of millions, it cannot compare to a home free of quarrels! Therefore, "harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all endeavors, while discord brings stagnation to everything." Can humanity understand: even within a small family, only genuine harmony can generate wealth! This holds true regardless of time or place in the human world.
For a small family, a medium-sized family, or a large family; for example, whether you have left your small families today to gather together in the large family of the Chongxin lineage, and together with the Immortals and Buddhas as teachers, co-author the seventh chapter of the thirty-sixth volume of the Great Dao series, thus creating a "happy small home and a harmonious foundation."
Can we discern clearly: How can we first achieve a state of harmony and happiness within our own small family? In truth, this also applies to each student and disciple—does each possess sufficient virtues, while also having many shortcomings? This is true for all human beings; it does not vary from person to person!
If one only observes the shortcomings of others without acknowledging their strengths, by contrast, this very distinction raises the question: how much better are we ourselves? Have people considered this point? It is believed that those who possess such awareness are few, while those who lack it are many! This is the difference between those who are complete and those who are deficient.
Believe, and we can be bound together, supporting one another, to jointly promote a great and extraordinary mission in the human world! Have you entered the Chongxin lineage today so that you may not have to return in the next life? Is it also to: diligently accompany the immortal and buddha teachers in co-authoring the "Dadao Series Celestial Books"? If so, what else do you intend to do?
This will give rise to ten benefits: first, benefiting oneself; second, benefiting all beings; third, advancing through learning; fourth, returning to transcendence; fifth, severing the cycle of rebirth; sixth, accumulating hidden virtue; seventh, establishing a foundation; eighth, elevating wisdom; ninth, attaining accomplishment in one lifetime; tenth, possessing boundless great energy... and many more favorable conditions.
This is: a lifetime of hard work can be exchanged for achievements and transcendence across countless lifetimes! Everyone must strive diligently, especially starting from this year (the Year of Jiawu), it is essential to guide more sentient beings with good affinities to return, gathering them to form a new force for spreading the Dharma. In this way, everyone must cultivate a heart of harmony and unity, for only then can there be good and virtuous tidings to foster growth and elevation.
Starting from this year, it is essential for all of us to work together to promote and expand the "Chongxin Lineage," while also dedicating ourselves to the greater vow of serving all sentient beings. Are you all willing? From this year onward, we must elevate the "Chongxin Lineage" to a higher level. This will involve teacher training and lectures by Zen masters, which may require a bit more effort from everyone—but in truth, it will not be too difficult!
You are about to enter the most sublime institution of enlightenment under Heaven. What is its purpose? It is to nurture all these virtuous students in their growth, while ensuring that the immortal and buddha teachers lack nothing. This is achieved through the collective will of all, fostering a path of harmony and unity—namely, the foundation of the Twelve Guidelines, enabling each to truly practice what they have chosen.
The Sage Virtuous Immortal Maiden said: In the human world, one must first begin with one’s own small family. When husband and wife, parents and children, brothers and sisters, descendants and relatives are all brought together to live as one household, there must be a way of harmony and unity. Truly, this is the starting point of "family harmony brings prosperity to all endeavors." Understand this well for the future, and there will indeed be a solid foundation for a good and stable life to rely upon!
Let us reflect further: Since you joined the 'Chongxin Lineage,' have you perceived the following within your entire household, both elders and children? First: All are safe and harmonious. Second: Relationships have become more complete and harmonious. Third: Financial resources have gradually increased. Fourth: Wisdom has become more abundant than before. Fifth: There is also a greater willingness to give willingly.
In this world, is what one dedicates throughout a lifetime to all merely a pursuit of peace for humanity? If so, attaining peace would be quite simple. However, to truly benefit, one must be like the followers of the Chongxin lineage, not merely an ordinary person. This is why there are celestial and buddha teachers to protect you and your entire family.
At the same time, it also serves as a reciprocal reward for your sacrifices and contributions, is that not so? It is important for everyone to understand that in this human world, it is absolutely not the case that every individual can fully enter the 'Chongxin Lineage'. Only a portion of people are able to enter. Thus, it is through everyone's diligent efforts that we can promote and expand its reach.
A greater new force will emerge. Regarding the principle that "reverence is unity, unity is reverence," can everyone comprehend it? If one can comprehend it, future endeavors will yield twice the result with half the effort; if not, it will require twice the effort for half the result. This is the guiding principle for actions starting from the Jiawu year.
It is precisely in recent months that the Immortal Buddhas and Teachers have been consistently emphasizing and instructing that in the human realm, it is essential to first properly reorganize and unite the "Chongxin Lineage." Only after this can we properly welcome back our brothers and sisters, enabling everyone to serve them well. I wonder if all are willing? It is necessary to act accordingly in order to achieve truly good and substantial results.
Saintly Virtue Immortal Maiden:
Alas, life's hardships span a whole lifetime, all for the sake of mere warmth and sustenance.
To serve all beings throughout a lifetime, yet none comprehend this truth.
Immortal Lady Lide:
In the Jiawu year, we must promote the heart of reverence, guiding all sentient beings back to their true home.
Promoting Family Happiness, New Three Bonds Foster Virtue and Prosperity
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: For human beings, whether in every family, religion, community, company, organization, workplace, or interpersonal relationship, it holds true that with good harmony, there will be great strength and abundant blessings added. As the ancients said, "When the family is harmonious, all affairs prosper"—this is absolutely true!
There is no distinction; it is the same in any country or era. This is because it must be so for all who seek sustenance in the human world. One must deeply understand that "when the family is harmonious and united, all endeavors will flourish." Our two immortal teachers wish to say to everyone: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. Farewell!

The Bodhisattva of Western Splendor ascends,  
Together meeting the noble-hearted deities and sages.
May all be auspicious and well,  
And the path of harmony multiply joy.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, two immortal and buddha teachers—the Immortal Maiden of Void Principle and Virtue, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the Immortal Maiden of Void Holiness and Virtue, the Heavenly Holy Mother—have descended to compose the seventh chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," focusing on the foundation of a happy household and harmonious unity.
It is truthfully provided that all human beings, without distinction between family members and all others, must achieve harmony and completeness in order to attain auspicious and prosperous fortune. This, in fact, surpasses even favorable feng shui geography in authenticity, thereby offering genuine prosperity. The Chongxin Sect lineage follows the same principle: without distinction between the present and the future, it must be truthfully promoted.
Perhaps the same applies to your own realization of the Way. Everyone can understand: the path of harmony and unity holds a substantial foundation! Today, let us encourage one another with this foundation of harmony and unity. Well, tomorrow is Wednesday again—all guidance and ferry work will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will come together to learn, grow, serve ourselves, and serve all beings! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 27: The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Supreme Great Dao, Volume Two (Part Three)
##Wuji Guanshiyin Bodhisattva
June 6, 2014, the ninth day of the fifth month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Wuji issues the decree to Chongxin,  
The Great Dao's truth ferries all sentient beings.
The entire family is blessed with fortune and prosperity,  
Harmony and unity bring true nobility and authenticity.
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra said: When human beings enter the human world, they possess a virtuous inclination toward survival. Relying on and nurturing life is a necessity. Through this orientation toward survival, there arises a genuine state of comfort and ease, which then gives rise to actions that ensure adequate warmth and nourishment. When viewed from the perspective of this human world, this process activates the mind and consciousness, taking the lead in guiding the course of survival.
In the realm of human existence, all aspects of life inevitably influence one another, without distinction in any action or reliance. For sentient beings with compassion, it is essential to mutually support and nurture the "small family of survival," the "middle family of cultivation," and the "greater family of propagation and transformation." Only through such growth and reliance can broader elevation and transcendence be achieved, which is the true path!
In this process of human evolution and sustenance, is there much dispute and mutual contention? Human existence inherently involves comparison and rivalry for superiority; thus, all human beings, regardless of distinctions between small, medium, or large families, are fundamentally the same! Moreover, in every time and space, without distinguishing between you, me, or others, there exists a form of mutual assistance.
There will also be a space for mutual comparison and even contention, which prompts me to reflect on how I can evolve, grow, and transcend further in the present moment. This allows me to discern: How can I achieve a good and fulfilling existence within this small family? Without such a good and fulfilling existence, most situations tend to give rise to mutual strife.
How can we bring this manifestation to perfection? This leads to the question: What is the correct way to achieve harmony? It is within such harmony that human society enters the conditions for growth and integrates the fulfillment of even a small family. Consider this: if a small family cannot achieve harmony, it will be plagued by endless disputes and quarrels.
Manjushri Bodhisattva said: If so, can this small family achieve peace and harmony? It is unlikely! It can be said that even within a small family, there must be goodness and completeness, without distinction among its members, whether great or small—all are equal. Therefore, if a small family fails to prioritize harmony, what can be done?
Thus it is said in ancient times: "Harmony in the family brings prosperity to all endeavors, while discord in the family leads to stagnation in all affairs." This concept is often extended to humanity at large, where the principles of feng shui and geomancy are frequently regarded as governing all aspects of daily life. Yet, it is often overlooked that, as the ancients said: "A virtuous heart surpasses favorable land, for favorable land can hardly outweigh a virtuous heart." It may be said: The true essence of feng shui and geomancy indeed exists!
It also offers some assistance to the human world in certain aspects, but when viewed comprehensively, this is not the case! Moreover, as humans enter the world, they rely on their accumulated merits and virtues to enhance their blessings. From this perspective on the human world: if one lacks sufficient blessings, what difference would even the most favorable feng shui or geographical conditions make?
It still falls short of the unity and harmony of a "great family," whose solidarity holds immense power. In the human world, it is essential to genuinely gather the strength of unity and harmony! Moreover, such conditions and causes foster virtuous growth for humanity and will truly align with a "Way of Harmony."
What a group fears most is the presence of troublemakers who spread rumors, slander others, and sow discord. It is as if everyone has wronged them, and their mindset begins to dominate, dragging the entire group into a negative atmosphere and stirring up a storm of ill will. If we wish to rely on goodness within our own family or the larger community, I ask you all: Is such a thing possible?
It is highly improbable! What is the final item of the so-called "Twelve Principles of the Revered Heart Lineage"? Harmony! Precisely! This harmony is what the Heavenly Realm regards as the cohesive force that unites the "small family of daily life," the "middle family of cultivation," and the "great family of propagation," and only through this can it be genuinely implemented. With regard to the unifying power of harmony, there exists immense energy.
Within this "mid-sized or large enterprise," how can we expand this cohesive force to build a broader and more influential management team, fostering a shared understanding that the present era is no longer the age of individual heroism as in the past. The changing circumstances of our time have evolved to necessitate "integrated marketing."
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra said: In the past, everyone practiced based on their own efforts. While this approach was suitable for the cultivation process of a moderately endowed family in those times, in the present era, it is no longer as it once was. Individual heroism has now taken shape, and such past actions have already deviated from the cyclical interplay of causes and conditions that characterized earlier times.
It has now evolved into a form implemented within the overall "group marketing strategy"! It can be distinguished as follows: for the harmony and unity of small families, the propagation of cultivation in medium-sized families, and the dissemination efforts in larger families, thus there are different implementation directions for small families, medium-sized families, large families, and even larger extended families.
In the past, human beings often acted alone and fought single-handedly, but this is no longer the case in the present era. With the advancements in media dissemination and online propagation today, there are even greater benefits to be gained. Moreover, the "Chongxin Lineage and the Immortal-Buddha Teachers" have been warning everyone for the past ten years not to consider oneself outdated or out of touch.
In this present era, it is essential to learn and grow through the internet. As such, the Supreme has long utilized the extraordinary conditions of karmic affinity within the "Mirror of the Heavenly Heart." Moreover, the Chongxin lineage, being at the forefront of the times, requires all students to study computer courses. In the past, typing with keyboards often resulted in numerous errors.
Nowadays, technology has evolved to the point where one can simply write or speak to operate a computer, converting text into the desired format. This allows office staff to further teach computer courses, helping these older individuals understand how to learn through the internet, thereby facilitating the broader promotion and dissemination of knowledge.
This set of conditions and circumstances allows everyone to gain a more authentic understanding and practical application. It is also entrusted that Mr. Chen Qingfang will be specially appointed to instruct everyone, thereby genuinely expanding the opportunity for broader propagation of the "Chongxin Lineage." These conditions take the Chongxin Lineage as the opportunity for propagation, enabling everyone to achieve virtuous learning and growth.
I wonder if everyone is aware? It is only through genuine goodness, elevation, promotion, and propagation that the overall Chongxin lineage, in response to the hopes of Heaven, can advance toward broader cosmic realms. This causal condition is difficult to fully comprehend at present, but in time, you will come to understand the profound care and effort of the immortal and buddha teachers in nurturing everyone to stride toward the vast expanse of cosmic galaxies!
Manjushri Bodhisattva said: The Way of Harmony, which integrates a distinguished lineage, can foster more advanced karmic opportunities, propelling the entire 'Dadao Series Classics' to the vast universe. Through this, everyone can discern the application of the "Way of Harmony" and truly benefit from its elevation. Since the Jiawu year, the essential courses to be studied have become increasingly numerous.
This approach, which encompasses teacher training, Zen master lectures, the enlightenment of realizing one's true nature and attaining fruition, as well as the direct entry into Dharma through seeing one's nature, the levels of covering the pot, and additionally, the currently most popular: the light-sound energy body, and the celestial and cosmic light: the energy body of quantum transformation—such methods will lead to even greater elevation. Therefore, Holy Mother Teacher has always admonished and urged everyone.
Starting this year, it is essential to understand how to achieve upward growth through meditation. Ah! If everything is combined, do you think time and space will suffice? It seems that the demands placed upon you may be a bit excessive! Yet, this is a necessary course of learning at present; otherwise, how will you have the opportunity to ascend and transcend in the future?
By the time one comes to learn, is it perhaps a bit too late? Or is it not? How should we integrate and unite the strength of the "Chongxin Lineage" to support everyone in gaining more genuine benefits? Should we be a bit stricter, or slightly more relaxed? The choice is yours! Such a course is indeed necessary to be offered.
Can everyone achieve a more substantial elevation and transcendence, and can they understand the well-intentioned efforts of the immortals, Buddhas, and teachers? Therefore, it is also hoped that everyone can experience a more virtuous upward growth and improvement. Do you desire this? Answer: Yes! Do not answer too quickly, for when the time comes, no one may be seen, and only the teaching instructor will remain alone!
This extraordinary elevation indeed applies to some of you already: having clarified the mind, perceived the true nature, and attained enlightenment—only awaiting the fruition that comes through personal realization. To provide everyone with greater space for learning and growth, we shall also faithfully transform you anew (with reverence in heart), enabling these virtuous students to genuinely cultivate goodness—this is the true reality!
Manjushri Bodhisattva
Whoever strives to learn diligently will have good opportunities in the future.
Harmoniously blending in unity,  
Elevating and transcending is oneself.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva:
Seventeen years of devotion to the heart's cultivation, nurturing growth through compassionate teaching for all sentient beings.
There must be mutual harmony,  
And surely there will be good fortune and virtuous conduct.
This verse! It is to mutually encourage all sentient beings; although it may be somewhat arduous in the human world, it can be exchanged for transcendence over millions of years, rather than being akin to: merely all teachings within the human world, which yield only five hundred years of merit, and thus one will again repeatedly sink into the human realm—what can be done about it!
Do you all understand these exceptional conditions? As such opportunities are fleeting and cannot be waited upon indefinitely, it is essential for everyone to endure a bit more hardship, so that goodness may grow and transcend upward. Our two teachers would also like to say to everyone: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. Farewell, everyone!

##Wuji Lanyi  Jinsheng Guanyin Bodhisattva
##Wuji Purple Robe Silver Sage Guanyin Bodhisattva
June 10, 2014, the thirteenth day of the fifth lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
The Bodhisattva of the Western Path ascends,  
Together gathering with the revered hearts of all divine beings.
May all be auspicious and well,  
May the family be harmonious, joyful, and truly blessed.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the two revered immortal teachers of our lineage—Bodhisattva Wuji Puxian and Bodhisattva Wuji Wenshu—have descended to compose the eighth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," analyzing the necessity of harmony and unity as the foundation for humanity’s pursuit of happiness.
It is clear to all that whether it is for the "small family of daily life," the "middle family of cultivation," or the "great family of propagation," it is essential to achieve genuine harmony and unity—this is the true path! Furthermore, for the "Lineage of Chongxin," moving forward through the "Way of Harmony" to advance and promote its propagation is indeed the right path!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. The Dean of Academic Affairs: It is essential to compile the instructions given by the Immortal Buddhas and teachers today into a schedule, so that we may follow it for future sessions. As for whether everyone is willing to implement this, let’s first allow some time for adaptation before deciding. If there is a sincere commitment, how should we then propagate and practice it? Alright, thank you all for your hard work. Until next time!
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Wuji Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sutra, Volume Two (Part Five)
##Western Scripture-Delivering Bodhisattva
June 13, 2014, the sixteenth day of the fifth lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Great Dao unites all under heaven,  
With virtue and grace guiding all sentient beings.
When hearts unite as one,  
Harmony and joy make our home.
Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta said: When human beings enter the world of sentient existence, they form unions through small, medium, and large groups. In every act of harmony, they come together in mutual solidarity. This human realm is founded upon harmony and rooted in unity.
From this, one can understand that whether it is a large family, a medium-sized family, or a small family, there is a necessity for harmony, joy, and unity! As the ancient saying goes, "When hearts unite as one, even clay can turn to gold." It is through such conditions of mutual support that humanity evolves, grows, and transcends, and it is within the small family unit that this practice is carried out in the human world.
As the ancient saying goes, "Harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all endeavors, while discord brings stagnation." This principle applies universally to every household. It is essential to cultivate a wholesome and harmonious atmosphere, which in turn fosters an environment of joyful coexistence and growth. This is what it means to be united and harmonious together—it enables the flourishing of all aspects of family life.
Human beings thus come to realize that for unity and harmony, it is necessary to come together in mutual connection, and not allow minor disputes to inflict significant damage upon the atmosphere of solidarity. Therefore, it is essential for humanity that within every family, there should be good and virtuous support, which can foster great elevation and harmony.
This extraordinary condition arises from humanity's enduring pursuit of mutual connection and harmonious unity. For all human beings, regardless of whether they belong to a small or medium-sized family, each individual inhabits a distinct relational space. Particularly within a small family, it becomes possible to achieve mutual fulfillment and live together in comfort and peace.
The Queen Mother of the West said: To achieve completeness within the "middle family" is akin to the middle group, company, organization, or enterprise... all of which are referred to as the middle family. Compared to the small family in the human world, this middle family involves more people living together, inevitably leading to greater potential for disputes and confrontations.
Especially the words reflecting each person's mindset and attitudes are not very harmonious, compounded by their behavior and conduct, which sets a rather poor example. Consequently, within a family, significant conflicts are more likely to arise, stemming from disdain for the other's poor example and the fact that their words are also not very pleasant to hear.
In this way, many ignorant obstacles are inevitably stirred up, leading to a very negative impression of this person and forming too much harmful karma. Are there such beings among humanity? They are everywhere! Moreover, a single remark can offend many people. Although the speaker may have no ill intent, the listener becomes quite displeased and develops a strong aversion toward them.
When one unintentionally harms others and fails to understand them, barriers arise between people, making it impossible to achieve harmonious fulfillment. From the perspective of human society: Can there be reliance on goodness? In truth, without leaving a favorable impression on others, one sets a profoundly negative example.
This attitude towards fellow human beings, which arises from unkind words and is compounded by improper actions, will inevitably cause great harm and make others deeply resentful. For you, will this lead to a favorable outcome in the future? Certainly not! From this, one can discern: in truth, there is no one whose flaws are beyond redemption.
However, once each sentient being enters the human world, the majority are kind-hearted, while a small portion exhibit significant differences. Moreover, they may look down upon others, leading to a strong sense of rejection within their hearts. This feeling of being rejected by others is often something they themselves are unaware of.
Moreover, I even believe that I absolutely do not have the negative impression others perceive! As for whether there is unity within the family, it is something that cannot gain everyone’s approval. Therefore, in this world, it is necessary to observe one’s own actions and conduct from the perspective of others or from a distance, so as to avoid inadvertently offending others without even realizing it.
It is still believed: Are there people in the world who consider themselves the most upright and the most righteous? They are everywhere! In this world, there are indeed such individuals who believe they are the most upright and righteous under heaven. From the perspective of others, do their actions and deeds serve as a good example or a poor demonstration?
The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta said: Regarding the human world, there is this: Within a family, how much can one truly discern about one’s own peculiar and eccentric temperaments? In truth, it is fundamentally unclear and unlikely to change. To speak a truly practical word: Does this person have peculiar and eccentric temperaments? With a little observation, everyone can understand!
Am I such a person myself? And if I wish to change, is it even possible? It’s simply not feasible! I cannot even recognize where all my strange quirks and temper lie—it’s just too difficult! Let me ask all of you: Would you dare speak to such a person? Do you have that kind of courage? Alas! It is precisely because there are such people among human beings that trouble arises!
Treating others, who are kind-hearted, in such a manner—can there be unity in a family? Can there be harmony? It is fundamentally impossible! Moreover, one’s own views are considered quite correct, and one believes their perspective to be practical as well. On top of that, there is a heap of complaints and many words spoken that make unity and harmony exceedingly difficult.
This also weakens the cohesion of the family; do such people often complain? Look around—are there such individuals nearby? It seems not, for it is not written on their faces! Have we all seen clearly how such people affect family unity? They also trap themselves in a cycle of complaint, one after another.
Entering into the cultivation of the middle family brings unity; thus, it is imaginable that those who wish to possess the complete strength of the great family often become self-righteous and, moreover, absolutely unwilling to change—and it seems there are many such people! In the human world, if one’s achievements in the cultivation of the middle family are not up to standard, how can one expect growth from all past efforts? It is fundamentally impossible!
The Queen Mother of the West said: One may regard others as monsters, but one would never see oneself as a monster. In such a state, is it possible for one to cultivate within the Middle Family and aspire to progress upward? Fundamentally, one cannot integrate into the practice of the Middle Family, nor is one capable of promoting and propagating the Great Way (the greater community).
Moreover, it is precisely these obstacles that become stumbling blocks to the propagation of the Dharma. At such times, if a bolder individual or a close friend were to offer some persuasion, change might occur. However, if there is no bold person and no close friends, for such a mediocre practitioner, it merely amounts to being labeled as "one who speaks well of the path but practices little."
Such individuals often manifest around you as negative examples, making you feel overwhelmed and unsure whether to speak up or remain silent. Over time, they become the kind of "talented people" that give everyone a headache—referred to as "oddballs"! These so-called talented people behave and act in unconventional ways, yet what can one do about it?
To be honest, is it truly difficult to desire a lifetime of unity within a single central family? It is not for oneself to claim: "How good I am!" At such times, great disturbances arise in the human world, affecting overall unity and making it fundamentally difficult for everyone to identify with and rely on the actions of such a person.
The Queen Mother further stated: In the mortal world, one must cultivate and transform all peculiar habits and strange temperaments. At this moment, if one can understand: one should constantly reflect upon oneself! If one cannot, like the Confucians, examine oneself three times a day, then it is essential to observe oneself from a distance, and also observe other companions, making improvements as if correcting undesirable shortcomings!
This process, beginning with cultivation within the small family, progressing to practice in the medium family, and then expanding to the great family for broader dissemination—whether pursued individually or as a collective endeavor—resembles the structure of a large enterprise, where different frameworks serve as models for self-guidance: how to refine oneself! If one can bring about change, for you, it signifies a step upward in growth!
If one cannot change, it is like being a solitary bird among a crowd—awkward in appearance, isolated from others, suffering at every moment, and lamenting the difficulty of finding companionship. With this mindset, one develops divergent views toward others, and when it comes to engaging in "religious practice" for oneself, one fundamentally fails to understand its purpose. Consequently, all efforts may fail to foster growth and progress.
Queen Mother of the West
Life is a journey of enduring hardships,  
Through trials and tribulations, the self emerges.
Habit is hard to change, yet one thinks others foolish;  
Laughing at their infatuation, while bearing the same load.
Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.
Families large and small unite in harmony,  
Living together joyfully in peaceful community.
Do not assume that because I am kind, you can change my will and follow your own.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. In this world, regardless of whether it is a small family, a medium-sized family, or a large community united together, have you ever felt that you yourself have not yet achieved this? If so, it is necessary to diligently cultivate and improve! Thank you all for accompanying us in this work. We, your two teachers, also wish to say to everyone: Thank you, and farewell!

June 17, 2014, the twentieth day of the fifth month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
Bodhisattvas from the Western Paths arrive in procession,  
Gathering in reverence, divine beings arrange the assembly.
When all unite in auspicious harmony, joy and blessings will flourish.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the two revered immortal teachers of our lineage—Wuji Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and Wuji Queen Mother of the West—have jointly authored the ninth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They demonstrate to the human world the unity of the great, middle, and small families as one, showing that this principle remains unchanged across all times, spaces, and circumstances.
Unity and harmony are essential for external propagation and outreach, enabling everyone to receive greater benefits and rewards. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. As indicated in the previous teachings, starting this year, there will be an increase in all courses. Will everyone be able to engage in learning, growth, and study? Let us cherish this opportunity well!
This means: we will promote the publicly available materials of the "Dadao Series Classics." Starting from the second half of the year, we will enter the practice of 'true cultivation and genuine practice.' Everyone should cherish this opportunity. It is essential to genuinely progress: first learn to be a good person, then learn to be a divine being, and finally learn to become a Buddha! This is a step-by-step process to solidify everyone's foundation. Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Thirty-One: The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Supreme Ultimate Great Dao (Part Seven)
## Celestial Venerable of Southern Heaven's Upright Order
June 20, 2014, the twenty-third day of the fifth lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Wuji decrees its will upon the mortal realm,  
The Great Dao unites all under its boundless protection.
All sentient beings shall transcend,  
It is essential to understand the flourishing of divine mysteries.
The Goddess of Childbearing said: When human beings enter the world, each individual is guided to find a virtuous family for support. Once settled in the family and achieving comfort, they inevitably come to realize the impermanence of human life, recognizing that lasting comfort is unattainable. This realization drives humanity to seek solace in religious faith.
then there will be a comfortable refuge to rely upon. From the perspective of all sentient beings, this is inherently so and is indeed beyond reproach. In this human world, where impermanence constantly surrounds all beings, who can claim to be free from troubles? And who can exist forever in this world?
From this perspective, the human world is not a realm of lasting peace and stability. Therefore, the Heavens have sent down the five sages of the great religions to guide sentient beings in this region toward religious faith. In this way, through faith in religion, beings are received by the moral deities of the Heavens. This can alleviate inner pressures and provide spiritual sustenance.
This will lead to a sense of inner emptiness, prompting one to turn to religion in search of solace and to anchor one's spirit in a spiritual refuge. In this world, however, there are those who genuinely practice religion with virtue, and others who merely claim the title, declaring: "I am a believer," "I am a devotee," or "I am a practitioner."
Furthermore, regarding these aspects: faith, conversion, and the path practitioners enter through religion, whether there can be genuine upward growth and elevation remains unknown! Thus, in today's world where countless teachings flourish simultaneously, each religion naturally demonstrates its unique capabilities to guide and enlighten those destined beings, allowing them to enter its fold for cultivation and practice.
The Heavenly Heart Pure Vase Guanyin said: In the human world, there exists such impulse and aspiration that lead one to enter into religious faith, refuge, and practice. Thus! It can be observed: the essence of these religious beliefs enables every sentient being to discern: within the religious practice they believe in and take refuge, there will inevitably be upward growth and elevation.
Is it following the teachings of past predecessors, or has it already deviated? In this religious belief, each religion manifests a higher level of teaching and affinity to guide those who have accumulated virtuous conditions from past lives to enter, believe in, rely upon, and practice within that religion.
Regarding whether these can serve as a true source of sustenance, enabling one to evolve into a genuine practitioner based on the religion one believes in and relies upon, this also distinguishes whether there exists a true source of sustenance in the human world. Yet, it is not necessarily so! Moreover, every religion claims to be the foremost in the world! This creates a dazzling array of choices, leaving one even more at a loss.
From this perspective: each family will manifest various spiritual powers to guide sentient beings with whom they have formed karmic connections over countless lifetimes, thereby expanding their ranks. For a small family, it is essential to find comfort and stability, while for a medium-sized family, the practice lies in whether one truly applies oneself wholeheartedly. How, then, should one transcend and return in the future? In contrast, such conditions of karma are not fixed!
If it is difficult for one to find a truly virtuous faith to rely upon, it becomes even more challenging to join the ranks of spiritual cultivation. Such individuals are far too common in this world. I believe that in the present era, more than half of the people merely seek spiritual solace, finding it hard to genuinely progress upward. Instead, they remain entangled in religious obstacles, scriptural barriers, and the limitations of words.
They are fundamentally unable to enter the true path of cultivation. Therefore, even with each displaying their own abilities and guiding those with affinity, not all religious practitioners can return to the heavenly realms, the world of paradise, or the Pure Land... This is precisely what it means: merely to undergo repeated cycles of rebirth and cultivation in the next life! What, then, are the reasons that lead to this?
The Goddess of Childbearing says: In the human world, the reliance on all religious faiths is indeed never mistaken, but one can discern: have they placed their bet on the right treasure? If the bet is misplaced, what then? Fundamentally, in the human world, it is merely a reliance on something called faith! Yet there exists a higher level, known as: the convert!
There is yet another level, known as: the practitioner! Consider this: most of those called practitioners merely follow the teachings passed down by predecessors. How difficult it is to transcend the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors inherent in all past religions? Can everyone understand: what are the mysteries contained within?
On the other hand, why is it that those who engage in what is called cultivation fundamentally cannot advance, elevate, or transcend? What is the underlying cause? This kind of cultivation, which fundamentally fails to foster genuine growth in practitioners, is referred to as the "pathway of principles"! How can one prepare to truly "walk the path" and thereby achieve elevation?
To evolve oneself for greater elevation; moreover, this type is merely a practitioner, who finds it exceedingly difficult to distinguish another kind called: the cultivator of the Way, that is, the true practitioner of the Way! Thus, to view the 'practitioner of the Way' in this manner is correct! If one is merely 'cultivating the Way' alone, and wishes to truly and faithfully ascend and transcend, there are many aspects that are exceedingly difficult to discern!
How should we address the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors within all religions? In contrast, even when combining religious "faith, refuge, and practice," it merely serves as a form of upholding and preserving the religion one has taken refuge in. Ultimately, none can compare to the Chongxin Sect, which is able to have celestial immortals and buddhas descend as teachers to compose entirely new educational and cultural curricula.
Thus it can be said: in the present age, all those who engage in religious "faith, refuge, and practice" would likely reject this extraordinary celestial opportunity and favorable condition. From this perspective, the foundation of the entire "Dadao Series Classics" should originally have been established through the contributions of Yiguandao. However, due to the isolationism of various branches within Yiguandao and the significant challenges in effectively promoting it, this has been hindered.
Thus it is said: If one seeks to compose works within the Buddhist tradition, such a cause and condition, directed at the various lineages of Buddhism, would fundamentally exclude you from its gates. Moreover, it is said: This foundation is not what the heavenly immortals and Buddhas have expounded; it is thus an external path. It is further claimed to be written by the Zen masters of the "Chongxin Lineage," merely encompassing all that is contained.
Wow! Such statements truly leave the "True Buddha Heart School" battered and bruised, with no room to defend itself, making it exceedingly difficult to propagate within the Buddhist community. From this perspective, it is precisely due to the stubborn attachments and rigid views of sentient beings themselves. If one aspires to attain Buddhahood in a single lifetime, is it possible? Indeed, it is far from easy!
The Heavenly Heart Pure Vase Guanyin said: Exactly so! In response to all the divine opportunities and good affinities bestowed by Heaven, the Confucian tradition and sacred teachings have been disseminated to elucidate principles through writings. Therefore, in the human world, renewal, cultivation, and transformation are undertaken once again, while also solidifying all the foundations laid over the past seventeen years. This allows for a true understanding of the unfolding of heaven and earth, complemented by the knowledge and concepts of cosmic evolution.
Furthermore, the moral conduct and regulations of human beings validate the correctness of the "New Three Cardinal Guides" writings. Over the past seventeen years, these efforts have not been in vain; instead, they have enabled everyone to benefit more authentically. By perfecting one's evolution within the "small family," and then "practicing cultivation within the intermediate family," one is certain to achieve further elevation.
Moreover, guide "all beings" towards the vast expanse of the cosmic galaxy; can such guidance for all beings be propagated truthfully and comprehensively? It will also elevate you to fully comprehend the Buddhist principle of "Consciousness-Only," enabling genuine "illumination of the mind, realization of one's true nature, awakening, and attainment of fruition" for growth and advancement. Even more, it will facilitate greater elevation and transcendence for you all!
Moreover, one can learn the "Direct Insight into Nature Method," which has six levels, a practice not found in other religions. Next is the "Pot Covering Method," which also comprises twelve levels. Furthermore, the "Cosmic Light Energy Body" is provided, enabling practitioners to witness the "Light-Sound Heaven Energy Body" within a single lifetime. Even more remarkably, there are concepts introduced that have never been heard of in the human world.
Departing from the Earth's space, "the energy of the cosmic quantum energy body" has been steadily building a solid foundation for everyone step by step. It has also ensured that all your diligent efforts are genuinely rewarded with abundant resources and sustenance. I ask you all: In the past few years, have the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage ever stated that they would return all external spiritual disturbances and karmic creditors to everyone?
Is this truly the case? Yet several years have passed. Aside from those who come with official decrees to claim their due, you have been unable to resolve matters through transfer or redirection. Has no one among you made further efforts to redeem even one karmic creditor? Have all these karmic creditors been intercepted and borne on your behalf by the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage? Is this indeed the situation?
Regarding the compassionate virtues and great grace of the Immortal Buddhas and teachers of the Chongxin lineage, it is observed how much you have done and sacrificed. In turn, the Immortal Buddhas and teachers will accordingly bestow blessings, allowing everyone to gradually become "free from debts and at ease." This enables the genuine practice of guiding and transforming others through propagation. Can everyone understand how all goodness grows, elevates, and transcends in the present moment?
Guanyin of the Heavenly Heart and Pure Vase:
This can be called a fine bond in the human world,  
sacrificing and dedicating oneself to the boundless.
Observing your sincere offerings,  
I shall turn the wheel of merit and augment your hidden virtues.
Goddess of Childbirth:
Strive diligently to elevate your heart,  
And the grace of Heaven will surely draw near.
Step by step, a footprint is left; wealth, virtue, and wisdom each follow their own path.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it will enhance wisdom and virtuous wealth for everyone according to their true nature, protect all members of your household, and for yourself, it will gather great karmic affinities—this is the reward for all your efforts. Our immortal and buddha teachers also generously bestow these blessings upon all. Well done, everyone, for your hard work. Our two teachers also wish to say to everyone: Thank you, and farewell!

Bodhisattvas from the Western Scripture of Principles ascend,  
Gathering together with all sentient beings, deities, and humans.
May all be auspicious and well;  
By cultivating virtue, blessings will surely come to fruition.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Wuji Zhusheng Niangniang and the Wuji Tianxin Jingping Guanyin Bodhisattva from our lineage have descended to compose the tenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They have provided a thorough analysis of achieving harmony in small families and upholding principles in medium families, enabling everyone to understand all that lies ahead.
How can we genuinely achieve improvement and transcendence, rather than merely being well-versed in the classics of the past 2,500 years? This approach makes it extremely difficult for everyone to apply such wisdom to the present moment! Why not adjust our mindset? Doing so will allow us to truly benefit in a tangible way. Can everyone recognize this: in this very lifetime, we can indeed achieve genuine growth and transcendence!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us come together to learn and grow! The day after tomorrow will be a wonderful day for the Chongxin Sect to receive foreign guests. Let us all strive together with our best efforts! Let us also apply the etiquette and protocols we have learned over the years, and witness the fruits of our hard work. Thank you all for your dedication. Farewell for now!
Thirty-third Chapter: The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Supreme Great Dao (Nine)
##Southern Heaven Immortal Dao Celestial Worthy
The Great Dao unites all under heaven,  
While sentient beings slumber in deep slumber.
Distinguish between practice and cultivation,  
Different functions add to the building of virtue.
The International Guanyin says: When sentient beings enter the human world, there is a mutual interdependence that elevates collective actions. How then can this causal connection be directed toward greater benefit? In the human world, there are various paths into the ranks of religious faith. This can be observed: sentient beings take faith and practice as their refuge.
Furthermore, it is precisely through the practice and transformation of conduct that one progresses upward! It can be said: For a religious believer, whether there is a wholesome foundation to rely upon will lead to different outcomes, distinguishing whether it is genuine practice or mere cultivation in name! If viewed from the perspective of cultivation alone, it merely means entering into religion—essentially just following others in a dance.
If one wishes to ascend and grow, it is essential to: diligently and truthfully work on oneself with depth. Only in this way can genuine upward growth be achieved, rather than merely adhering to religious faith in the human world, which is often described as: relying solely on the conditions of practice. It is exceedingly difficult to truly understand how all things should ascend, grow, and transcend!
Thus it is said: those in the human world who cultivate religious faith are indeed many! Yet those whose "practice" truly deepens and grows are exceedingly few! Why is this so? It is because when humanity enters the ranks of faith, they merely follow and uphold the religious scriptures of the past, finding it exceedingly difficult to evolve the fundamental conditions for genuine transformative practice.
Thus, for a sentient being, one can choose whether to embrace or reject distinctions. It also depends on whether, in the human world, one will ascend to higher realms or merely remain trapped in the cycle of reincarnation within the human realm. Or perhaps, one simply changes names from life to life, switches bodies, and begets countless children and grandchildren—yet what can truly be achieved by this?
Kannon of the Eastern Seas said: Consider this, all in the mortal realm—does such a thing exist? Look carefully around you, is this not so? In the mortal realm, when faced with such matters, they persist endlessly, fundamentally unable to overcome such obstacles. Moreover, upon entering religious faith, one becomes influenced by: the barrier of religion, the barrier of doctrine, the barrier of words, and the barrier of delusion!
There are too many obstacles that hinder one's upward growth, and even ordinary religious practitioners, including monks, nuns, clergy, and preachers, are no exception. It is exceedingly difficult for them to understand and resolve such issues, let alone discern how to penetrate all the points of confusion within. As a result, entering religion often ends up being nothing more than this.
Is there a method to ascend and transcend? Fundamentally, one is always guided by the scriptures! Consider this: are there any errors in the scriptures? Absolutely none! It is simply that human beings, regarding the scriptures as the writings of 'Buddhas and Sages,' view them in this way: is there anything incorrect? Absolutely not! It is merely that each individual's understanding differs.
Across different times and spaces, all methods of practice have already changed. Humanity has long since evolved into the cosmic galaxy. As for the ancient scriptures, there must be no criticism whatsoever, nor should any scripture be deemed incorrect. It is merely that the temporal and spatial conditions have long been "misaligned." Today, humanity has already come to understand everything through the internet.
All past classics are infallible, but when it comes to issues misplaced in time and space, these are not matters that present-day humanity can fully discern. To put it simply, consider the difference between kindergarten education and university education in the current era: how vast is the gap? From this, one can clearly understand the nature of all such issues.
If we were to remain content with the level of kindergarten education, then what would be the purpose of this present era—where countless teachings flourish, each revealing its unique power to guide those destined for them? From this, we can understand: Is the collective faith and spiritual refuge of humanity sufficient to support upward growth in the present? And how can we advance toward greater growth and transcendence?
The International Guanyin said: Regarding such causal conditions, for the general populace: believers are many, but those who attain accomplishment are few! What causes this? In the human world, if we examine it through the lens of past religious teachings and curricula, this is a matter of course, and no single religious sect or lineage can achieve any great transcendence.
If it were possible, through a supreme affinity akin to that of the Chongxin Sect lineage, to draw down the great mysteries of the cosmic celestial realms and impart them into the Chongxin Sect lineage, then in the human world, all sentient beings—whether "four hundred million disciples of the Buddha" or "nine hundred and twenty original spirit beings"—would be treated equally. Such conditions of affinity are exceedingly rare in the present era!
The blessings of Heaven are bestowed solely upon the Chongxin lineage, with absolutely no second lineage receiving such grace. In light of the vast benevolence Heaven extends to the mortal world, might Chongxin consider itself the only one under heaven, attributing this to its own merits? Consider this: such a divine opportunity and affinity—without the powerful support of the celestial immortals and buddhas as teachers, how could it ever be achieved?
It becomes impossible to convey the mysteries of the celestial universe to the human realm, resulting in varying levels of behavioral standards for the "cultivation and practice" of humanity. Consider this: for practitioners, it is essential to discern truthfully and comprehend the mysteries of religious faith—this is a necessity.
It is merely a matter of knowing; much like religious believers in the present era—they understand, know, and comprehend, yet they are unable to truly put it into practice through actions that benefit others! This kind of genuine understanding is merely knowledge, and it does not necessarily translate into practice. For the most part, they only engage in cultivation.
Therefore, it becomes a situation where one only knows the various names of "cultivation," but has genuinely implemented "practice"—the behavioral standards in daily life. This kind of discernment can distinguish: all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors requiring correction and transformation. If there is no genuine cultivation and change, it is merely "cultivating a fine-sounding path" and nothing more.
For those who are genuine practitioners, the question of how to evolve and elevate within a single lifetime represents another level of instructional curriculum. Therefore, after seventeen years, the Chongxin lineage must impart all these teachings truthfully to everyone, enabling their integration into daily life—this is the true path!
The Bodhisattva of the Eastern Sea says: This kind of causal condition and circumstance, being as true as reality itself, can lead everyone to genuine understanding and the actual practice of cultivation. Are you all willing to make the vow to uphold and support it? You must strive diligently to practice! In the human world, there is fundamentally no one who possesses as vast and abundant a source of merit and resources as the Chongxin Sect lineage!
Consider this: In the present world, have countless teachings not already emerged, each demonstrating its unique power to guide sentient beings? Moreover, each individual’s karma is absolutely distinct, and it is not the case that all of humanity adheres to a single religion alone. Furthermore, as recorded in the works of Chongxin, this process must undergo a full thousand years in the future to achieve growth and elevation.
The merciful and virtuous grace of Heaven descends in an orderly manner to transform the world. The vastness of the *Dadao Series Celestial Books*, authored by Chongxin, prompts us to reflect: whether in this lifetime or across different generations, can we truly comprehend the *Dadao Series Celestial Books*? For all, this provides firsthand material to evolve and elevate oneself toward higher growth!
If one only "cultivates" but fails to "practice," is it difficult to achieve growth, elevation, and transcendence? Indeed, it is extremely difficult! For sentient beings in the human realm, does this lead to repeated cycles of reincarnation in the mortal world? Even with continuous exposure to various scriptures, it remains profoundly challenging to grasp their profound mysteries!
If one studies through the Dao series of celestial books and incorporates the efforts of the second and third generations of disseminators, it becomes possible to understand whether one is caught in the cycle of repeated rebirths or has already ascended and transcended. This is determined by each individual’s own choices and cannot be forced. The reason lies in the inability, within a single lifetime, to fully comprehend the vastness of the Dao series of celestial books.
It can be left for the next life, or repeated in the human world, to continue studying the Dadao series of celestial texts. These are destined to be passed down for over a thousand years. By then, everyone will have already attained enlightenment and transcended, leaving behind a large portion of followers of other religious beliefs. There is simply no other way—what else can be done? Truly, there is no other way!
Kannon of the Eastern Sea
Alas, to live a lifetime as a human being is but to drift along with the flow of life.
Change the body, alter the name,  
To be reborn and bring forth a multitude of descendants.
International Guanyin:
The Great Dao Series: One Thousand Years, Preserved in Different Spaces
They will surely return again to experience,  
Each attaining fruition early and returning to heaven.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement for all sentient beings; for those in the human world who, under such conditions of cause and effect, encounter the *Dadao Series Celestial Books* across different times and spaces; thus, reflecting upon oneself, one may have also studied the *Dadao Series Celestial Books* before, yet still finds oneself unable to grasp its original meaning and ascend to higher growth.
By then, after several hundred years of different temporal and causal conditions, what could anyone do even if they wished? It would already be unclear which cosmic celestial realm one should ascend to! Understanding this state of mind, compared to the endless cycles of reincarnation, what more can be done? Thank you all for your hard work, and for offering grand celebratory ceremonies to all the Guanyin Bodhisattvas of our Chongxin lineage! Thank you all, deeply moved. Farewell!

The Bodhisattva of Infinite Compassion ascends,  
Gathering all revered deities and humans of the Chongxin Assembly.
May all be auspicious and well,  
United in heart to guide and edify.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the two immortal Buddhas from our lineage—the Wuji International Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Wuji Eastern Seas Guanyin Bodhisattva—have descended to compose the eleventh chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They will elucidate the practices and disciplines, along with their varied functions, to help everyone discern all that lies ahead in the future!
Can the mortal world comprehend the causes and conditions of misplaced time and space? It is about genuinely growing and transcending all pasts and futures, rather than lingering in the human realm, merely reincarnating repeatedly. Have you realized that it is only a change of body and name, giving birth to a multitude of children and descendants—are these all the achievements you have in each lifetime?
It is essential to understand: in the future, there will be some descendants who, having completely lost the constraints of ethics and morality, will speak of their deceased ancestors and relatives with words like, "Once dead, they are gone—do not linger and haunt us." From this, one can grasp that such a mindset and perspective among these descendants is also something you can do nothing about!
This is what happens when there are no virtuous descendants to carry on the legacy. Do not think that the future is beyond sight. As the ancients said: to have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue. Only then can one avoid producing a host of unworthy and unruly offspring who will cause you endless regret across generations. Will this bring you joy or sorrow? Believe in what you think, and you will understand.
When the time comes and you appear before these descendants, they will likely be utterly shocked and terrified. Ponder this well! Yet, what can be done? Such is the nature of the human world! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. With gratitude, we offer prayers and praises to all Guanyin Bodhisattvas on behalf of everyone. Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!

## Celestial Worthy of Southern Heaven's Harmonious Ascension
The Great Dao Family Expounds the Heavenly Scriptures  
A Series of Thirty-Six Distinguished Volumes
Expanding Boundlessly Across the Universe,  
Bringing Benefit to Sentient Beings with Virtue and Intent.
The Blue-robed Golden Sage said: When sentient beings enter the human world, they inevitably activate all orientations toward survival. Particularly, nurturing life is essential, and within the act of nurturing life, it is necessary to uphold the well-being of the entire family, both young and old. This requires genuine protection and the actions to ensure warmth and sustenance. Such conduct is called: the great sacred duty of human life!
None can do without the necessity and reality of having food and clothing, which is essential for every sentient being. This is a necessary practice for each small family in the human world. After fulfilling the needs of the small family, there emerges the need to enter the workplace for employment or business. This is then carried out by companies, firms, organizations, groups, and the like, all of which constitute the practice of the medium-sized family.
Within this process, there is also a phenomenon known as: after entering religious study and growth, what is the necessary path forward through learning and development? That is to say, when all issues have already been resolved, or when they remain unresolved and many problems arise, this inevitably leads to seeking spiritual solace in the intangible.
It is also because one can resolve all the problems and obstacles within this process that, when human beings aspire to evolve into a more profound DNA, they will inevitably possess the capacity to rely on both the tangible realm of material reality and the intangible realm of spiritual existence. This reliance enables humanity to evolve into a superior species, capable of ascending, enhancing, and transcending.
Moreover, as in the past, all are the same; this kind will inevitably lead to the necessity of nurturing life and the tangible reality upon which spiritual faith relies. Thus, after entering into religious faith, every religion raises the banner: "I am the foremost under heaven," calling upon sentient beings to find refuge in religious faith.
The Purple-robed Silver Sage said: Let these religious believers also be able to rely on the faith and practice of the Middle Family! After each human being enters religious faith, it is not merely about relying on spiritual solace; many issues that transcend the spiritual realm are resolved, and a different kind of limitation and obstacle is formed between the human world and the spiritual realm.
In light of such issues, how should one resolve the inherent problems? Since humanity entered this world, across different eras from ancient times to the present generation, it can be discerned that for those who adhere to religious faiths—if we speak in terms of Yiguandao, there is a span of over sixty thousand years; if viewed from the perspective of Buddhism, it is certainly not confined to such a limited timeframe.
This condition of dependent arising, within all the cycles of existence in the human realm, is not limited to the present sixty thousand years; it is unrestricted by any temporal framework. This aligns with what Buddhism teaches: if considered in terms of the sentient beings of the current era, one might say that around sixty thousand years is already quite favorable, yet it must be accurately accounted for in accordance with reality.
Through the lens of the present era, as seen from the Zhou Dynasty's "Investiture of the Gods," it spans only about four thousand years. In terms of repeated reincarnations for everyone, how many lifetimes would that be? It can be said that for such a span of time, most fall within the range of "20 to 50" lifetimes, allowing each individual to enter religious faith and practice.
Thus, under such conditions and circumstances, how should one account for all the causes, conditions, and effects in relation to you at this moment? It becomes relatively easier for human beings to dissolve all karmic consequences created in the past. If we consider past cosmic cycles, how can we possibly calculate the number of reincarnations that manifest in the human world at present?
Most have already surpassed it: at the very least, over 1,200 cycles of time and space! If we then add from the first cosmic era to the present, and from your perspective, can it be calculated? It is extremely difficult! It has also truthfully exceeded hundreds of thousands of cycles of reincarnation. Who is the self at this very moment? Fundamentally, one does not even know. With each cycle of reincarnation, there is further decline!
Only after entering the practice of religious faith, can one continue to advance upward—is this possible? It is indeed rather unlikely! This is because human beings, due to such karmic causes and effects transplanted into the present moment, give rise to the differentiation between "good fruits and bad fruits" manifesting before you. Most humans have already forgotten how many times they have come into this world!
Lan Yi Jinsheng said: In the human world, it is the practice of "upholding and cultivating" that serves as faith, effecting change in one who is "cultivating the path." If one cannot change for the better, it will lead to repeated indulgence and nurturing of evil. Such cases are all too common in this world; almost everyone is like this. It is exceedingly rare for anyone to truly enter religious faith and cultivation, and thereby ascend to higher realms!
Most of it is simply a matter of cultivation and practice, and one will come to understand. However, under the pressures of livelihood, this leads to a situation where, even though one already knows, it becomes a case of "knowing but finding it difficult to act," which can also be called the effect of "not knowing." Are there such human beings? Far too many! They are all forced by the pressures of livelihood to compel themselves, even to betray themselves.
This life! It originally had the potential to ascend and return to the great celestial ladder. In essence, it is about whether humanity truly intends to advance in this very lifetime, to genuinely ascend and grow. It is certain that one can reach, in the present moment, the state described in the Buddhist teachings of this world: "enlightening the mind, perceiving one's true nature, awakening, and attaining fruition."
This kind of genuine practice can be carried out by everyone, and it is also essential to grow upward in accordance with its true nature. Otherwise, the immortals and buddhas, our teachers, have descended from afar into the human world for nothing. Moreover, this can be understood: it is about having a kind of upward growth for oneself, not merely understanding or knowing! For you, it is merely a stagnation within the process of elevation, spinning in place.
That is to say, it is impossible to genuinely achieve: truly propelling oneself toward the broader cosmic galaxy! Moreover, it becomes difficult to transcend and return to one's true self, rather than merely relying on a nurturing faith practice within the human realm alone! That will not lead to upward growth and transcendence, nor will it allow one to truly discern: at this very moment, have I placed my bet on the right treasure or not?
The Purple-robed Silver Sage said: If one does not wager on the right treasure, it would be difficult to achieve the complete realization of one’s desired goals, such as attaining genuine faith and elevation in this lifetime! Moreover, in the mortal world, if one does not understand the classics, what sutra is being chanted? If one does not comprehend the meaning of the scriptures, what bell is being struck? Such practices merely follow what is called in the mortal world: having a master recite the classics, and nothing more!
Moreover, it strikes with such resounding force and profound impact; thus, can those later learners who devote their entire lives truly comprehend how to correct all shortcomings and errors? This is exceedingly difficult! Therefore, do not assume that eating vegetarian food for a few years is called "purifying the heart," or reciting scriptures for a few years is called "enlightening the heart."
This kind of "faith-based practice" fundamentally cannot be compared to the transformation achieved through actual conduct—only the latter is the true path! If you do not believe this, do you have a close and trusted fellow practitioner? You may ask them: How should one correct one’s own shortcomings, mistakes, and inadequacies? If they can answer truthfully, this person is the great benefactor of your life.
Otherwise, most people, "having eaten their fill with nothing better to do," will point out all your shortcomings and mistakes. If you do not hold grudges, this close friend and fellow practitioner, in turn, will not generate any ignorant obstacles. What is most to be feared is: when they correct all your flaws and errors, how will you respond?
You would be checkmated in return, blacklisted, and find such a close friend utterly unreasonable—impossible to truly befriend. Would anyone dare to act this way? Absolutely not! Believe it or not, this is what we call "being full yet pretending to be busy." As for such close friends, why not give it a try?
Look and see who among them is truly the noble person in your life, rather than just ordinary common folk—some may even be petty individuals! These traits are not written on anyone’s face. If they were, everyone would recognize them at a glance. Isn’t it fair and equal of Heaven not to write “noble people and petty people” on their faces?
This set of causes and conditions, along with everyone entering the "Middle Family" to practice, is not merely about cultivation alone! One can discern how to further elevate oneself! If a V8 camera were to record all your words and actions, everything would be instantly clear, eliminating any need for verbal debate—isn’t that so? Only an IC microchip can record everything!
Purple Robe, Silver Saint:
A true friend in life is a blessing; all beings can coexist in harmony.
To aspire to be another's benefactor, one must offer words of guidance that are fitting and appropriate.
Blue Robe, Golden Sage:
Cultivation in the human realm is the essence of religion,  
One must understand and diligently practice its principles.
Do not merely seek to enrich one's livelihood,  
For the root of virtue's grace lies beyond grasp.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: to help everyone truly understand that "practice" evolves through religious faith and is not merely about "cultivation"; and to clarify that simply studying general religious scriptures cannot provide a more genuine driving force for elevation. I hope we can all learn and grow together! Our two immortal and buddha teachers also wish to express their gratitude: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. Farewell, everyone!

The Bodhisattva who brought the scriptures from the West arrives,  
Gathering with revered spirits as divine beings arrange the assembly.
May all be blessed with peace and well-being,
In the year of Jiawu, may the great work flourish and expand.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Wuji Blue-robed Golden Sage Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Wuji Purple-robed Silver Sage Guanyin Bodhisattva of our lineage have descended to compose the twelfth chapter of "The Great Tao as One Family." This opportunity to cultivate religious faith through the practice of the central family is truly extraordinary.
How can all sentient beings, lost in ignorance, cultivate and transform themselves! The Chongxin lineage has been teaching for seventeen years now. Among all the students, many have undergone great transformations, yet there are just as many who remain unchanged! Such conditions have been spoken of by the immortal and buddha teachers for these seventeen years—what more can be done?
Tomorrow is Saturday, all induction procedures will proceed as usual. The day after tomorrow is the Chongxin Sect’s monthly repentance ceremony, where you can apply all the reception etiquette we have practiced recently. Do your best! If you can consistently uphold this standard of reception etiquette, you will surely experience genuine growth, elevation, and transcendence. That is the way it should be! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Note: The term "Qingliangzhe" refers to those who, no matter how busy the entire group may be, maintain a leisurely attitude themselves, never offering help to others and fundamentally having no affairs of their own to attend to. In every religion, there is a portion of people who are exactly like this. Upon careful observation, one can surely understand everything clearly!
Postscript, General Principles
讚賀、序引、頌勉
##The Celestial Venerable Who Descended from the Southern Heaven to Propound the Dao
The Great Dao series expands its profound influence,  
Elevating all sentient beings in the human realm.
One family cultivates, one family attains;  
Religious conduct is linked to the Great Way.
Baishengli Guanyin said: Sentient beings, upon entering the human world, adopt many ways of faith and practice to anchor their beliefs. From the perspective of the human realm, this offers great potential for elevation and transcendence. Therefore, for human beings, evolving into religious practitioners through such means is not merely about being believers.
For oneself, there is evolution toward greater elevation and transcendence! This world will experience a considerable uplift. Under such conditions, for religion: believers, practitioners, and those who actively live by their faith—among these three types of actions, which one can lead to upward elevation? If we speak of believers, most of humanity would consider this a necessity.
If, as a practitioner, one has already evolved to a higher level, this situation may arise: one has gained considerable understanding of religion, yet still lacks what is called "the power of disciplined practice"! Moreover, for most who merely enter into religious faith and practice, it remains unclear how they themselves should evolve further.
Only when viewed from the perspective of a "practitioner" can one truly possess the original driving force for upward progress to rely upon. If one takes religious faith as the foundation, most must evolve into practitioners to genuinely enter such conditions and achieve upward growth and transcendence! Thus, even as a practitioner, one must also possess a fundamental understanding.
For the practitioner, how should one cultivate growth? It is not merely about understanding religious doctrines alone; without truly engaging in "practice"—that is, selfless and effortless sacrifice and dedication—one will inevitably fail to achieve higher levels of transcendence and will not genuinely progress in personal development.
Qiaoshengli Guanyin said: In the world of religious faith, there exists a driving force of spiritual sustenance. When ordinary people enter into religion, they often lack this driving force; most only have faith and a place of refuge, yet they fail to discern the conditions and causes in the human world. What, then, is the purpose of entering into religious faith?
If one fails to make the right choice, it merely means another cycle of rebirth awaits in the next life. Conversely, it becomes exceedingly difficult to achieve genuine elevation and transcendence. Moreover, without truly grounding oneself in the reliance that religious faith provides—which is both a great strength and a guiding direction—such a human existence precisely underscores the necessity of religious faith.
Thus, with "cultivation" as the foundation and "practice" as the main focus, in the human world there is no great distinction made between "cultivation or practice." However, for most ordinary religious believers, it is mostly limited to worship alone, and they are unable to discern that it should be through their own inner nature that growth is achieved upwardly.
Thus it may be said: For the majority of human beings, regardless of which religion they follow, it is the same—most people merely rely on the refuge provided by their religious faith. It is difficult for them to truly understand: This lies in the essence of religious faith, not merely in the external forms of worship. One must discern the original intent behind it all!
From the perspective of Buddhist doctrine, ordinary people generally prefer to take refuge in the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. Observing from the sacred images of Buddhism, they appear more compassionate and amiable. Thus, human beings are more inclined to form connections with the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. To a large extent, the reason for the prevalence of Buddhist faith lies precisely in this.
Bai Shengli, contemplating Guanyin, said: The sacred countenance of Buddhism is indeed comparatively more compassionate and amiable. This characteristic stands in contrast to those of Daoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam, each of which holds its own distinct and unique sacred visage. Thus, if one adheres solely to a single religion for faith and support, will it necessarily lead to spiritual elevation? That is not certain!
When it comes to the diverse religious beliefs favored by people in the world, it is quite difficult to fully comprehend all their underlying meanings. This raises the question of how to elevate one's religious faith. It is essential to genuinely experience and evolve toward a higher level of understanding within oneself. As for what people often say, it merely amounts to sharing the same faith as the religious leaders, nothing more.
It is exceedingly rare to encounter a true Tathagata who continues to ascend and grow, just as it is equally rare to find teachings comparable to the Chongxin lineage, which stands as the foremost institution of learning in the world. Thus, it is also profoundly difficult for the general populace to comprehend the meaning behind this. How, then, can one grasp its essence? It is an even greater challenge! Most tend to reject it, making it all the more arduous to understand its true significance.
How can one offer sentient beings the means to ascend, grow, and transcend? Without this, it becomes impossible to truly comprehend the essence within! Thus, for those in the human world who follow a religion, have they placed their faith in the right treasure? And whether, in this lifetime of religious devotion, they can truly enter the profound depths and realize the underlying causes and conditions—this, too, remains uncertain!
Therefore, many people who enter a religion in this lifetime do so merely in name, fundamentally failing to understand: What should they do after entering religion in this life? It is essential to advance oneself toward the realm of transcendence and return! And how should one, through the Buddhist "principles of consciousness-only," implement practices that bring benefit to this life.
All who can comprehend the profound meaning of the "Vijñapti-mātratā-siddhi" (Consciousness-Only doctrine) must understand how to benefit from it themselves, rather than merely cultivating a solitary faith that may not necessarily lead to a return to the Pure Land, Heaven, or the Kingdom of Heaven. Moreover, all religious beliefs in the human world must genuinely grow in accordance with truth and reality—this is the true path!
Furthermore, since human beings each have their own chosen religious beliefs, it is impossible to compel them to adopt what one personally considers the foremost faith in the world. Consequently, it becomes difficult to discern with genuine clarity: What should I do? This leads to the question of whether in this lifetime one can place the right bet or truly find the way back home.
Qiaoshengli Guanyin said: In the human world, one should practice with a "balanced family." As for how I can truly enter religion to benefit from it, if there is no way, then there is nothing to be done! Moreover, in the human world, can one truly understand the nature of one's own faith simply through "practice"? This is certainly not guaranteed!
Such conditions and circumstances are uncertain as to whether they can truly elevate and transcend for a practitioner of the "Middle Way." Consequently, it becomes relatively difficult for sentient beings to genuinely progress and grow upward. The greatest challenge lies in the religious faith each individual chooses—this is a matter of personal selection.
Does it reject other religions? Consider this: the true path lies in the understanding shaped by each individual's mindset. Honestly reflect on what you can comprehend: how can I gain greater benefit within religious faith, rather than relying solely on one single religious belief? In today's era, we are already in the time and space of spreading teachings through the internet.
All the information that was previously lacking or insufficient in the human world can now be obtained through the internet, provided one is willing to do so. This evolution has reached a point where, in this lifetime, humanity can choose to access a broader expanse of knowledge, no longer confined merely to information about Earth's domain.
This can be said: Most human beings have already evolved to a state where they can more truthfully attain realization, and it is within this very lifetime that they can discern all the underlying causes and problematic points involved. Consequently, there will be many "specious" arguments. Observe, then, how sentient human beings are to judge and comprehend? That is impossible!
What are the shortcomings within it? This leads to the question: after a lifetime of hardship, one still ends up repeatedly cycling through the human realm. It is essential to understand the delusions that obscure a fundamental truth, in order to genuinely enter into religious faith with sincerity. This means truly practicing and elevating oneself through "action and conduct," rather than merely focusing on "cultivation and practice" alone!
Qiaosheng Li Guanyin:
Alas, technology transforms the human world,  
Yet all that life holds dear can still be cherished.
All resources are obtained through the internet,  
Turning into a beautiful tale.
Baishengli Guanyin:
Technological civilization bestows its blessings, ensuring that all sentient beings may partake in its benefits.
Step by step, a footprint is left; Heaven bestows virtue upon all beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; in facing all worldly matters, it is essential to truthfully realize how one ought to act! One should not merely be led by others; as the conditions of time, space, and circumstances have changed, it is also necessary to clearly discern: how to resolve all points of difficulty—this is the true path! To everyone who has worked hard, our two Immortal Buddhas also wish to say: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. Farewell, everyone!

## Wuji Siming Zhenjun
## Wuji Guangze Zunwang
From the Southern Heaven descends a revered heart,  
The path of righteous principles is held by all with intent.
The Heavenly Venerable today gathers with the worthy disciples,  
Together speaking of spreading and guiding the sincere heart.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Wuji White Sage Li Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Wuji Ingenious Sage Li Guanyin Bodhisattva of our lineage have descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," analyzing religious practice and transcendence for elevation, so that everyone may understand all its profound implications!
That is to say, has each person’s faith been placed on the right treasure? In practice, is there an upward growth and a driving force that transcends the original? Without such conditions, it is merely another round in the next life—what else can be done! Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. Let us look forward to learning and growing together!
Tomorrow evening marks the time for the Zen master's lecture. Is everyone willing to come and uncover treasures? It all depends on what each person comprehends! The calligraphy submission event is also approaching. We must unite as one to complete it, and in doing so, we will genuinely gain much knowledge and wisdom for ourselves, while also accumulating blessings, insight, and hidden virtues! Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
## Southern Heaven Propagation Celestial Worthy
The Great Dao unfolds grandly in the mortal realm; the Limitless descends along the path of reverence and sincerity.
In the year of Jiawu, the realm was greatly expanded;  
Virtue's grace brought forth a chapter of self-made blessings.
The Joyous Jade Immortal Maiden said: In the human world, it is precisely after establishing an orientation toward survival that one advances toward greater growth. Thus, with survival as the orientation, one aligns with the necessity of nurturing life. This perspective holds great expectations for the human world: that one's own existence is comfortable and free from want! How then can one move toward a broader space for living?
One will then enter the ranks of religious faith, which also forms a spiritual reliance and support for oneself in this belief. It is also a way of joining the lineage of ancestral faith, allowing one to reflect on the present: whether one has truly ascended or transcended! It is under such circumstances that humanity evolves, grows, and benefits more profoundly.
Thus, for oneself: how can one achieve growth and elevation in goodness? It is not always certain! Often, one may find oneself in a situation that is difficult to turn around. Yet, it is precisely under such conditions that one can cultivate and elevate oneself toward goodness, relying on both the orientation toward survival and religious faith as guiding principles.
Do not dwell on your past, no matter how great a Buddha or sage you may have been in a previous incarnation. Now, it is merely a function of what has passed. Instead, focus on how you should strive for growth in this present life—that is the true path! Yet, why is it that we often fail to achieve the perfect state we desire? What causes this?
This kind of causal condition often binds oneself with an obstacle manifested by ignorance, leading one into a situation that is exceedingly difficult to reverse. In the human world, people often believe that they were born under such conditions in the past, yet they fail to realize that in the past, they merely met the basic standard of being human.
The Phoenix Qiong Immortal said: If one can still manage as a deity, then being a Buddha is simply not up to standard; this will give rise to great filth and obstacles, residing within one’s own body. Consider this: For a past Buddha, what is present life like? It is no longer that past Buddha, but merely surviving in the human world—what is called: living, and nothing more!
Do these sentient beings realize: How is it that the Buddhas of the past are alive in the present? They often place themselves in circumstances that are exceedingly difficult to escape. Such individuals, due to their karmic conditions, do not know to enter into religious faith; thus, burdened with all past deficiencies and shortcomings, they descend into the human world to live. Is this not so?
Moreover, they are already Buddhas of the past, deities of the past, and sages of the past; thus, sentient beings often harbor many illusions, believing themselves to be extraordinary in the present moment, frequently assuming they remain Buddhas of the past, unaware that now only a living (Buddha) remains, capable of dwelling and living within the human world!
Thus, whether it is the Buddhas of the past or those living in the present, I ask everyone: Do they need to eat? If there is no need to eat, it is like the energy body of the Buddhas of the past, which reveals that even in the human world, everything is merely borrowed—borrowed to see, borrowed to possess. So, what can one truly claim to own entirely? Nothing at all!
Thus, what is there to truly deliberate or compare in the human world? Precisely because one fails to discipline oneself, even entering into religious faith becomes merely a nominal practice, with no genuine elevation or transcendence whatsoever! Moreover, if such a state persists for too long, it will inevitably give rise to a rather intractable problem.
This kind of issue has existed throughout the billions of years of human history, and it has always been this way! It is also impossible to distinguish: one is not a "Buddha of the past" but merely a "human being" living in the world, merely existing as a "human survival" in the human realm! Therefore, for such a person who enters religious faith, if they wish to grow and transcend? It is far too difficult!
The Joyful Qiong Fairy said: "In the mortal realm, when such karmic ties enter the world of existence, it becomes nearly impossible to achieve upward growth! Moreover, humans often liken their 'innate nature' to the idea that every sentient being possesses 'Buddha-nature,' yet they fail to recognize that every sentient being also harbors 'demonic nature.' This marks a significant distinction among humans."
If we take the Buddha's words—"All sentient beings possess Buddha-nature"—as entirely correct, then this perspective is precisely what the Buddha observed: everything is a manifestation of the world of Buddha-nature. In this way, regarding all sentient beings, there is something the Buddha did not explicitly state: that all sentient beings also possess demon-nature. Moreover, they even cultivate and act based on this demon-nature!
Thus, as demonic nature grows, it suppresses the Buddha-nature. This is the same for every human being. When no problems arise, everyone’s spiritual practice may seem perfect, scoring full marks. Yet when issues emerge, presenting dilemmas of right and wrong, most will place self-interest at the center, pushing morality and righteousness to the sidelines.
In this human world, the majority of people are as such, with only a small minority who place righteousness at the center and personal gain on either side. This is the foundation of virtue. In the human realm, how then should one cultivate virtue and hidden merits? Only in this way can one avoid creating many obstacles and hindering the space for one's own upward growth.
It also leads to a situation where, after an event has passed, some people will reflect upon it, while others will not reflect at all, and will always believe: I have made no mistakes! Moreover, when such individuals enter into society, regardless of whether they join any religious faith or engage in livelihood activities, they think only of themselves and never of others. There are far too many such people in this world!
Fundamentally, one fails to understand the entirety of the human world—a realm where "with sacrifice comes gain, and with gain comes loss." It is precisely within this interplay of mutual conditions that humanity discerns how to cultivate and enhance its own virtue. In truth, to put it plainly, beyond the principles of not comparing, not contending, and the necessity of self-discipline, one must also incorporate the concept of non-action.
Only then can there be a genuine accumulation of hidden virtue and moral character. In truth, for oneself in the human world, there should be a way to avoid comparing and contending with others. Only in this way can one truly enter a state of non-action, free from artificial striving! In this human world, one should not engage in comparison or contention, but rather discipline oneself.
In truth, the more one is willing to give up for oneself, the more Heaven will return to you—often even more and more genuinely. Moreover, under such circumstances, can one discern in the present moment how to make improvements? Only then can one genuinely enter a state of relinquishing material possessions in exchange for virtue and hidden merit! All wise and intelligent individuals act in this manner.
The Fairy Fengqiong said: In the human world, whether entering a small family to live or engaging in the cultivation and adjustment of a middle family, it is necessary to have a food chain to sustain life. Such conditions of karma in the human world are the same for oneself and all sentient beings alike. To put it plainly, human beings have always been serving (as a chain) within the realm of sentient beings.
Exchange some currency again to support the entire family. Thus, this necessity is distinct: all currency is sufficient, yet it serves only for use in the human world. Once departed from the human world, can it still be used? Just as you in the human world burn paper money for relatives in the afterlife—can such paper money truly be of any use?
Only a small portion can be used, but the majority is not exchanged for other goods with this type of spirit money. Humanity has never been able to break free from this notion, and such money is only used by ordinary spirits in the underworld. Once one departs from the realm of the deceased, it becomes entirely useless! It is best to carry with oneself abundant merits, hidden virtues, and moral integrity.
That is a relatively safe approach, and it is not limited to the use of paper money, which is typically used by lower-level spirits—though this cannot be said to be entirely incorrect. However, does this mean that every intangible being, including spirits, will never be able to ascend or transform? This is a matter from which human beings should break free, for only then can genuine growth and transcendence be achieved.
If you wish to have the support of good merits in future lives, you must diligently serve sentient beings in the present. Only under such conditions can virtuous qualities be accumulated. If you fail to serve sentient beings now, yet hope for the addition of good merits in the next life, it is nothing but an empty sigh toward the heavens.
Thus, one cannot possess the fundamental driving force for upward growth. This is the reality of the world—do you believe it or not? Do not cling to the notion of how glorious and revered the immortals and buddhas of the past were, for that time has already passed. If one still fails to realize this truth, it means that even as a deity or a buddha, one was not qualified, and thus was sent down to the human realm to cultivate, reform, and transform anew. All human beings and sentient beings are the same in this regard!
Fairy Fengqiong:
Zhanran focuses on the human world,  
Serving all beings along the path of hidden virtue.
If you seek a blessing greater than fortune, it is virtue that must be increased.
Fairy Xiqiong:
Do not regret what you have not done—  
Life's lament lies in the existence of the self.
Always living life in this way,  
One remains trapped in the cycle of rebirth, unable to attain Buddhahood.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: in all human affairs, how many human beings you serve, that many human beings will reciprocate to you. This is an absolutely true phenomenon! Can you understand? Our two humble teachers also wish to say to everyone: Thank you all, farewell!
## The Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven of the Limitless
##The Supreme Martial and Majestic King of Wuji
From the southern heavens descends the Chongxin Hall,  
The virtue of immortals spreads grace to all.
The Heavenly Lord arrives today to take his turn on duty,  
Speaking from the heart as the work draws to a close.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, two junior teachers from our lineage—the Joyful Jade Fairy of the Wuji Yaochi and the Phoenix Jade Fairy of the Wuji Yaochi—have descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They elevate their own cultivation to a higher level and analyze how, within the faith of the Zhong family religion, one can achieve virtuous progress.
Among these principles is the following: the extent to which you serve all sentient beings is precisely the extent to which Heaven will repay you. If you do not know how to serve others, then in the future you will possess no accumulated merit or virtuous energy whatsoever. This is an absolute and undeniable truth. Do not assume that you have an abundance of such merit, for just as human wealth is never considered excessive, so too is the accumulation of virtue.
Still thinking that others look down upon oneself is a great misconception about oneself! The human world is precisely a realm of relative endurance; can all "relativity" be understood? Gain and loss—this is the universal law of the human world. Between gain and loss lies the very basis for how all human beings grow and advance.
Do not spare your hands and feet—  
Such is the way of human deeds.
If no one serves others, how can one endure the solitude of this human world?
Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Everyone is welcome to come and continue learning and growing! The calligraphy gathering for the Great Dao Truth is approaching soon. Preparing early is indeed the right path! As for this upcoming gathering, based on your past exemplary performances, you are fully capable of achieving completion—this is entirely within your own grasp! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
## Supreme Guardian of the Infinite Myriad Dharma Protectors
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
Where human compassion and teachings find harmony.
Book Fifteen of the Series: Harmony and Unity Within the Family
The Guardian Treasure Immortal Child said: When sentient beings enter the human world, they greatly rely on sustenance for life, as well as faith, commerce, religion... All these are forms of mutual support known as the promotion of "unity is strength"! This applies equally to all races in every nation of the human world and to the interconnectedness of any realms.
In today's era, which has evolved into a "global village," the limitations and barriers of the past no longer exist. Instead, we are interconnected as if "the ends of the earth are as close as neighbors." From the perspective of human society, this embodies the saying: "A united group possesses great strength," which is bound to be further promoted.
Only then can there be great motivation, allowing this strength to be implemented, propagated, and promoted. For sentient beings with emotions, it is essential to understand whether "unity makes strength" holds true. This also relates to the necessity of "harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all endeavors, while discord in the family leads to stagnation in all affairs." This is what human beings have always upheld: the power of unity among all!
In the practice of cultivating the family, as well as perfecting the small household, this threefold perspective raises the question: Is there not a necessity for a cohesive force in all aspects? Humanity fears nothing more than disunity and imperfection. If one seeks to expand outward, it is essential to possess the strength that comes from unity, as well as the completeness of a harmonious home. Only then can prosperity be achieved in a genuine and enduring manner.
This kind of causal condition also exists in the human world, without distinction among any: groups, units, nations and societies, as well as business companies and firms, down to the smallest: even a tiny family is no exception! As the ancient saying goes, "Harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all endeavors; discord in the family brings stagnation to all affairs." This principle applies equally to all religious beliefs!
The Lingbao Immortal Child said: The human world lies within a single central family—can it unite as one? This would form a great force capable of accomplishing all things. In such a situation, everyone may try grasping with their own hands: Is the power of an individual, compared to the power of unity, more difficult to surpass than that of a single person?
It is like a single pair of chopsticks versus an entire bundle of chopsticks. A single pair can be broken quite easily, while a whole bundle is exceedingly difficult to snap! This illustrates the ancient wisdom that humans have long recognized: "When the family is harmonious, all affairs prosper; when the family quarrels, all matters stagnate." In this world, one can thus understand the power of unity within a household.
Will there be some saboteurs setting negative examples? This creates significant obstacles and becomes a reason why this religious sect cannot be promoted and expanded. It also leads to this saboteur frequently harboring great dissatisfaction, especially when guiding individuals' inclinations, often resorting to severe slander and destructive remarks to undermine progress.
Thus, the speaker may be unintentional, but the listener takes it to heart! How then can the entire group progress toward greater growth and transcendence, truly blocking such negative examples? It is necessary to take practical corrective actions, and not assume that while the speaker may be unintentional, the listener inevitably takes it to heart!
When humanity often advances in the direction of ignorance, this force of unity is utterly shattered! From this, one can understand the nature of each student's habits! Some people go through their entire lives like this, never clearly seeing their own duty, and what can be done about each person's ingrained tendencies?
Therefore, for each student, if there is genuine improvement, it is undoubtedly what the celestial teachers and buddhas hope for—it represents a kind of upward growth and transcendent elevation for everyone! This has been the case for everyone in the past, but can such habitual tendencies be reformed and transformed simply by entering into religion? That is by no means certain!
The Guardian Treasure Immortal Child said: It is not necessarily so! Moreover, due to each person's ingrained habits, throughout the decades of their existence, they have always been this way, deeply rooted from the very beginning. If one wishes to change, is it easy? Indeed, it is far from easy! This very aspect of human life offers vast room for growth and elevation.
Over the past seventeen years of the Chongxin lineage, this unfavorable energetic environment has truly been transformed. It is no longer as it once was. If such indulgence and tolerance of wrongdoing were to persist, it would likely create significant obstacles for other students, preventing everyone from progressing and elevating in this lifetime. Do we truly wish for such a situation to continue?
It is essential to undertake reform and transformation, enabling the Chongxin Sect—this great family—to "practice and uphold" the implementation of moral principles and regulations. This will allow the actions of "everyone" to genuinely reflect the necessary adjustments in one's own cultivation. Through the united strength of the Chongxin Sect's "great family," significant propagation and widespread influence can be achieved.
This is the necessary method of promotion for the current era. Can everyone accomplish it? We must no longer repeatedly tolerate and nurture wrongdoing. Reflect carefully: Are there too many peculiar habits and eccentric temperaments in all of your behavioral standards? It has been discussed for over a decade, yet the situation remains unchanged—batch after batch, after more than ten years, it is still the same!
From this day forward, it is imperative to promptly rectify this type of learning and religious practice, so as not to affect the overall karmic conditions for the propagation of the religious lineage. This will enable everyone to unite together, promoting and spreading throughout the universe what the Heavens above hope to see realized. Such propagation, once accomplished, will surely bring merit to all, serving as a foundation for future achievements!
The Lingbao Immortal Child said: Uniting the middle families and promoting the greater family—this creates the power of unity, enabling the entire "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" to be promoted and passed down a thousand years later. Within this millennium, whether everyone has already attained enlightenment and returned, yet regarding the Dadao Series Celestial Texts, they will still guide and transform the descendants of future generations.
When a religion can be propagated for a millennium, it is not empty talk or the idle words of immortals and buddhas. Only by genuinely promoting and spreading it to everyone can great merit be achieved. By relying on this as the foundation for one's future growth, all the sacrifices, offerings, and selfless contributions made by everyone in the Chongxin lineage at present will serve as the basis for upward progress.
It is also hoped that everyone will not: spare their hands and feet (Taiwanese pronunciation) in diligence, for if you: spare your hands and feet, will there be difficulties in relying on and transcending upon return in the future? It is too difficult! Borrowing a Zen master's words: if you do not serve the masses now, and wait until after your return, wanting to serve the more vast sages, immortals, and Buddhas, will you know how?
Now that you have already cherished your hands and feet, will you let them go in the future? In this world, as long as you are accustomed to doing things yourself, it is fine. Otherwise, in the future, if you wish to ascend and transcend, yet still expect others to serve you, is that possible? It is far too difficult! I also hope that all students of the Chongxin lineage and disciples must sincerely dedicate themselves.
For every bit of effort you put in, the celestial beings and teachers will reward you twofold, tenfold, or even more! Therefore, let us unite, not focusing on others' shortcomings but first examining our own. Only then can we truly harness the strength of unity. Do not indulge in complaints driven by personal habits, as this harms both yourself and the unity of the group.
It is precisely my eccentric temperament and an unchangeable bad habit, known as a disagreeable personality, that have led me to undermine all efforts at unity, making myself a sinner for all time—truly a loss that outweighs the gain! I hope to correct my faults where they exist and encourage good where they do not. If we all unite as one, we will have great strength to advance our cause.
Advancing towards broader dissemination and propagation across the cosmic realm, rather than confining it merely to human affairs to argue over right and wrong or superiority, is a rather unwise approach! Moreover, all sacred endeavors of the Chongxin lineage bear the great opportunity to uplift, elevate, and transcend the human world in the future, and will also bring genuine benefits to all beings of goodwill.
Lingbao Immortal Lad
Unity brings boundless strength, the Chongxin lineage is truly wondrous.
The Great Dao series unveils the cosmos;  
Returning to it depends on oneself.
Treasure-Guarding Immortal Lad:
Unity within a group brings strength, yet each individual's contribution varies.
Ascending beyond to return,  
Sailing across to ferry sentient beings through the human realm.
This verse serves both as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings and as a reiteration of the tasks entrusted by the Immortals and Buddhas in previous sessions. Once again, it reminds "everyone" to take note, hoping that "everyone" will join in promoting and spreading these teachings. Shall we? Recite it three times! The Immortals and Buddhas are stern out of high expectations—can everyone understand? Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
## Wuji Jiaohua Tianzun
## Wuji Chenghuang Dijun
The Celestial Venerable of Southern Heaven, Qi Yang, ascends to join the assembly of revered deities and virtuous beings at Chongxin.
The Great Dao's truth is delivered through the sacred texts,  
Bringing auspiciousness and fulfillment to nurture genuine growth.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, two young teachers from our lineage—the Wuji Yaochi Zhenbao Immortal Child and the Wuji Yaochi Lingbao Immortal Child—have descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They have thoroughly analyzed and elaborated on promoting and expanding unity within the family. Both young teachers were exceedingly courteous, yet also spoke at great length!
In fact, this is directed at the future propagation and promotion of the Chongxin Sect, which will undergo substantial expansion. Everyone should understand that in this Jiawu year, the Chongxin Sect must spread its teachings across the world. Although it has been treading in place for the past seventeen years, its foundation has been firmly established, enabling all to achieve significant progress and transcendence!
The Great Dharma Assembly for the Transmission of the Truth of the Great Dao, upon crossing the Seven Star Bridge, shall be presided over by the Holy Immortal Maiden of the Void, the Heavenly Holy Mother. Moreover, these two days of the assembly coincidentally align with the human world’s Pure Brightness Festival. It is also appropriate to dedicate some merits to our ancestors and loved ones, which will help reduce many problems from arising. Does everyone understand? Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
##Wuji Fude Zhengshen
The cause and condition of the Wuji descend upon the Chongxin,  
The great Dao's truth spreads the celestial sound.
The family came together to follow the heavenly scriptures,  
Advancing side by side in genuine practice.
The Marshal of the Central Altar said: In the human world, there exists a necessity for reliance on faith and spiritual refuge. Through such causes and conditions, evolution progresses from small to medium and large scales, all jointly propagating and upholding this reliance, which lies in a necessity called "harmony and unity"! By observing "harmony and unity" in this way, the human world manifests an affinity that flows with its natural order.
Indiscriminate is the perfection of the "small family," the cultivation and transformation of the "middle family," and the collective promotion and propagation of the "great family." Moreover, there is a mutual reliance among these three on whether one can discern what one has contributed. If there were a rather mischievous person who also set many poor examples, what would happen?
This type of causal relationship sets a poor example for everyone, while also making it difficult for people to identify with its code of conduct. Therefore, it becomes necessary to revise and change it in order to foster good unity. At the same time, regardless of whether one sets a poor example for oneself or others, most human beings generally act in an orderly and reasonable manner.
If one is a poor example, it becomes difficult for others to identify with such behavior, significantly weakening the force of unity. This can be described as being a disruptive element, and it can also be said that the poor example leads to a lack of collective identification. Delving deeper, will others even identify with what they say? It is highly unlikely!
This type, which includes many human beings, tends to believe that less trouble is better than more. Since most people share this mindset, no one will point out to them the serious negative example they set. If we wish to promote and spread positive teachings together in this world, we will inevitably look down upon such individuals and find it difficult to work alongside them.
Lord Wenchang said: Yet, constrained by helplessness, one finds it difficult to speak out or remain silent, thus leaving matters to take their own course, unable to rectify them. Are there such people? Indeed, they are far too many! Consequently, it becomes impossible to discern: within one’s own small family or the community of spiritual practice, let alone in the broader mission of spreading the teachings, what can truly be done?
One might say: spiritual practice is worth a hundred points, but what about those with eccentric habits and peculiar temperaments? They become negative examples exceeding two hundred to over a thousand points! Viewed this way: whether a matter can be judged clearly by an outsider—most sentient beings dare not speak of it, thus allowing themselves to act as they please.
Repeatedly coming to pollute the promotion of a medium-sized or large-scale family's propagation and outreach—are such individuals less favored by people when they enter such a family? Indeed, their actions are quite detestable, yet there is nothing one can do! Nor can they be openly confronted about it. Such individuals, whether in medium-sized or large-scale families, set a poor example regardless of religious groups, companies, or organizations.
Furthermore, can the various conditions of self-employment and business be eliminated? It is unlikely; unless, of course, one encounters a setback that forces a change. Otherwise, most people tend to believe they are practicing perfectly, while in reality, the damage they cause far exceeds their perceived merits—by two hundred to a thousandfold. Such is the negative impact of these behaviors.
Furthermore, for a large or medium-sized family, this is certainly not a favorable phenomenon nor a positive development. If there are too many individuals of such talent, it simultaneously hinders all necessary efforts that should be promoted and advanced. In contrast, it becomes extremely difficult for oneself to discern clearly, and regarding all problematic points, fundamentally nothing will change—what can one do about it?
In this world, amidst such conditions of cause and effect, it is essential to be truthful: one must reflect and examine oneself honestly through each day and every task, considering whether there are shortcomings, deficiencies, or mistakes within oneself, and whether genuine cultivation and change are possible. It is akin to what Confucianism teaches: "Reflect on oneself three times a day!"
Indeed, all the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors contained herein can be rectified and transformed. Otherwise, for what purpose do human beings come into this world? Do we all know? It is precisely to: rectify and transform all undesirable flaws, and be able to recreate anew! If one cannot recognize one's own shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors, how can one possibly proceed?
Everyone should realize: I must genuinely cultivate and reform myself, only then can I truly progress further in the next life! In fact, it all comes down to discerning in the present moment: Will there be another lifetime? If humans cannot reflect on their actions within any group, organization, religion, or company, what will become of them?
The Central Altar Marshal said: If one can only rely on oneself to cultivate and reform, then it becomes difficult for such human beings to find the necessity for upward growth and elevation! Therefore, if human beings are unable to recognize all their own deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors, how can they cultivate and reform? In truth, to put it bluntly, humans are simply unqualified to become Buddhas or deities.
Only then do they descend to the human world to become human; otherwise, everyone would have already returned, ascended, and transcended long ago. How could they remain in the human world to undergo all trials and examinations? Do you all understand: it is in the process of rectifying one’s own shortcomings that everyone gains the genuine driving force to grow and ascend upward in accordance with reality!
However, for those who enjoy relatively good fortune—people who lack for nothing in food and clothing throughout their lives—if you wish to lead such individuals into religious faith, or even to help them attain deeper understanding and genuinely elevate themselves, you will find that they have no such inclination whatsoever. This is because most people assume that those who face no material hardships in daily life are already content.
That is to say, with the blessings and merits that humans possess, in this human world, have they truly entered the completeness of the small family? Most people are like this. If one wishes to enter the faith of the middle family, it is possible, but those who aspire to become genuine practitioners also exist. However, those who seek to ascend, transcend, and return are few and far between!
Moreover, when one already enjoys considerable blessings in the human world, why would they desire to further elevate and improve? Such a mindset is widespread! I ask you all: if such conditions and opportunities were given to you, would you still wish to strive for greater growth and elevation? Not necessarily! There are many sentient beings whose lives are largely comfortable and content.
However, not everything can go as one wishes. Most things are both attainable and unattainable, which is how one comes to understand: "Things often go against my wishes in this life!" This reality will not allow you to live too comfortably; it inevitably leads to the realization that one's entire life is merely about entering religious faith and "cultivation."
However, it fails to elevate the practice of true "conduct." Sentient beings often perceive that in the human world, eight or nine out of ten things go against their wishes, with only one or two aligning with their desires. Yet even within this one or two, can all their wishes be fully realized? That is not necessarily the case!
Most human beings lack what is called: the fulfillment of the conditions for wealth! It can be said: the fulfillment of material abundance! Over seventy percent of such human beings find themselves in a state of considerable helplessness. If the heavens were truly fair and allowed everyone to achieve many of their desires, what would happen then?
Moreover, if in all worldly affairs, eight or nine out of ten could go as one wishes, with only one or two disappointments, and this ratio were reversed, would people still desire to enter religious faith? Unlikely! If you were granted such abundant blessings, would you still seek to cultivate through religious belief?
Lord Wenchang says: Most are those who cultivated in past lives, and only in this lifetime do they enter religion for elevation and transcendence! Human beings rely on their accumulated merit to sustain their religious faith and the comfort of their small families. Thus, religious practice and cultivation serve to nurture and elevate the middle family. But how can one then advance further to promote and expand for the greater family?
Unless there is one thing: having sufficient currency and property, which would then allow everyone to promote and spread the teachings widely. If, instead, people are merely led into religion for the sake of "practice" alone, not just "cultivation," this kind of effort yields little reward, yet demands much energy and spirit, along with the passage of time and space.
May I ask everyone: is it perhaps a bit too naive? Hence, this also reflects the phenomenon in the human world where "many cultivate, but few truly practice"! This is a "common ailment" shared by all human beings living in this world. Can it be said that this is not the case? Absolutely not! This is a mindset that all human beings inevitably possess.
This capacity for genuine sacrifice and dedication to oneself is merely a transformation of perspective! If this principle can be applied to you, it encompasses all the practices of sentient beings: the concept of non-action. In this way, can it not bring greater benefit to oneself, as well as to all conscious beings?
This principle is known as "non-action" or "acting naturally without artificiality." It serves as the source of nourishment for elevating and transcending oneself, fostering greater growth and evolution. This is precisely what the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage have consistently imparted in their teachings—transforming one's present mindset with truth and authenticity.
Evolution is even more like the natural unfolding of reality. Applying everything one has done and achieved is not merely about mastering all the classics; otherwise, there would be a lack of the practice known as "conduct and discipline." Therefore, understanding all the classics is not as important as taking action—that is the correct path! I wonder if everyone understands the profound intentions of the immortal and buddha teachers?
In teaching everyone: to "practice" naturally, indeed, every matter is like this! That is to say, since you are already in the human world, there is fundamentally no need to enter religious faith for "cultivation." It is essential to truly be in the human world, to have "practice" implemented in every matter—this is the true path!
Wenchang, the Emperor of Literature
Seeing through all the sutras and treatises  
Merely distinguishes what is seen and heard.
Entering religion for cultivation, most rely on adherence and compliance.
Marshal of the Central Altar
Practice and action come naturally; why toil over the burden of scriptures?
From the moment one grows into the world of mortals, the future is bound to transcend Zen.
This verse is shared among all human beings as mutual encouragement; moreover, how to implement it through "perfecting the small family, practicing in the intermediate family, and propagating in the greater family" is a step-by-step process of upward growth. It is akin to following the natural course of things, allowing one to "practice" and elevate oneself in all religions, progressing upward.
A great energy body will then be fully realized. Can everyone comprehend the earnest and thorough analysis offered today by your teacher and Lord Wenchang? Those who understand are truly wise; those who do not still have much to strengthen. Thank you all for your efforts. We, your two teachers, also wish to say to everyone: Thank you, and farewell!
##Wuji Erguan Shengdi
## Wuji Three Passes Sacred Emperor
From the Southern Heaven world descending to the mortal dust,  
The Virtuous Intention of the Heavenly Venerable of the Descending Way is born.
The Great Dao series unfolds its vast transformation,  
Ensuring that families, small and large, will surely mature and flourish.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the two immortal teachers, Marshal of the Central Altar and Emperor Wenchang, have descended from our sect’s lineage to compose this work. This marks the sixteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," which analyzes the propagation and transformation of small, medium, and large families respectively, allowing everyone to discern the path forward!
This pertains to the self: in the state of natural spontaneity, there exists an elevation and transcendence of goodness, without any deliberate actions in the human world. Such a perspective allows everyone to clearly discern how to accumulate virtue and hidden merits upwardly. This requires fundamental conditions. Can everyone understand? Reflect upon it yourselves!
This Great Dao Truth Book Submission Dharma Assembly has been remarkably successful and complete. The Heavens are deeply gratified and, as promised, have duly added another merit to everyone's record of merits and virtues, allowing all to genuinely and truly possess what they have earned. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all salvation activities will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will come together to learn and grow! Keep striving diligently. Until we meet again, everyone!
## Wuji Tan De Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
The Great Way, a single family, writes the celestial scriptures;  
In the mortal world, rare and wondrous, truly extraordinary.
Sentient beings return in cycles,  
Transcending growth and spreading virtuous grace.
The Lord of Fate says: In the human world, for every entity—be it an organization, group, undertaking, religion, company, or business—the foremost priority in all operations must be to foster unity and shared purpose to promote collective advancement. This forms the fundamental role of propagating influence. Such an approach allows one to observe the diverse orientations in the human world and thereby align with all necessary actions to be taken.
Thus, it will mobilize a force known as "unity of purpose" to carry out all common objectives. For humanity, this holds great significance and simultaneously provides immense encouragement, boosting morale to promote and expand its influence. If humanity cannot unite with one heart, it will find it exceedingly difficult to achieve widespread advancement and expansion.
If we do not jointly promote this unit, our efforts will become fragmented, and it will be difficult to achieve genuine unity among those of shared purpose. Therefore, in aligning our hearts and minds, we must work together to propagate and promote this unit. Under such conditions and circumstances, is it not more likely to foster positive growth externally?
At the same time, it allows individuals within a unit to mutually support each other's shortcomings, forming an environment where not everyone possesses ideal conditions, yet those who are relatively lacking can grow together through mutual assistance within the unit. This echoes the ancient saying: "Stand long enough under the stage, and the show will be yours to claim."
In this human world, there exists a profound interdependence; indeed, it allows us to practice regardless of "good abilities or poor abilities," uniting as one to support each other. The distribution of all well-implemented and poorly-implemented actions will thus foster "unity is strength," creating opportunities for more genuine and widespread propagation.
The Venerable King Guangze said: This is precisely how human beings are, gathered together in a shared community to support those in need; yet in this mortal world, it is fundamentally a realm where comparisons cannot be made! Have you ever wondered why this is so? As the ancients said: Stretch out your fingers, and they will never be of equal length! Is this not true?
Otherwise, you may extend your own hand and observe: is there any finger that is equal in length and perfectly aligned with the others? This very condition of dependent arising can be contemplated: even among the five fingers of a human being, none are parallel or equal in measure. Thus, among human beings and all sentient beings, there is no such parallel equality either. It is precisely this that gives rise to the vast diversity of all living things in the myriad forms of existence.
Furthermore, it distinguishes between the excellent, the mediocre, and the foolish. Among these categories of human beings, if viewed through this threefold lens, the distinctions can be further divided into five or six types or more. These include: the excellent, the moderately excellent, the mediocre, the ordinary, the foolish, and the dull-witted... Under such conditions, this becomes clear!
An organization is just like this; for instance, if you extend your fingers for everyone to see: are they perfectly parallel and equal? It is simply impossible! Therefore, as the ancients said: among human beings, there is inequality and imbalance, which gives rise to distinctions of superiority and inferiority, strengths and weaknesses, and differentiates various kinds of people. This results in differences in their pursuits of survival, fortune, and blessings.
If we distinguish individuals by their actions and deeds—wise, average, or foolish—how then should one strive to grow more authentically in the present? Within such circumstances, there are varying conditions that provide support, along with different fortunes and karmic affinities that foster growth.
Therefore, regarding the destiny determined at the moment of one’s birth, it is absolutely not the case that those born through what is now called "cesarean section" are destined for great fortune. Viewed from this perspective, for every human being, whether they possess both "innate destiny and acquired fortune" and how they do so—this is what gives rise to the distinctions between the wise and virtuous, the ordinary, and the foolish!
The True Lord of Fate said: Such is the world of mortals! Otherwise, everyone aspires to be the supreme leader at the top, yet not all possess the destined fortune for it. There is only the proverb, "Stand long enough under the theater shed, and you will find your place." This notion of "the green mountains remain unchanged, while human affairs have long shifted; the old generation is replaced by the new"—can everyone discern where the problem lies?
Therefore, it is necessary to: gather these individuals together without distinction, ensuring that the wise, the average, and the less capable all have equal opportunities and are treated fairly in their normal efforts and actions. In this way, it can be understood that when all these people are brought together, a great force can be unleashed.
As the ancients said: "Many hands make light work, but many mouths bring diverse opinions." It thus falls upon the leader to guide this group in learning and growth, rather than letting them become like a heap of loose sand. If they are like a heap of loose sand, how can they spread the teachings outward? It would be utterly impossible! Without a leader, everyone would be left directionless and confused.
At this point, different talents will emerge, aspiring to lead the masses. This applies equally to a group or organization, to managing a business or a religious sect, and even down to the smallest unit like a family. Among them, there will be outstanding individuals—people of varied abilities who have long been distinguished in the region—seeking the opportunity to rise above others.
If someone possesses relatively strong abilities, they can lead everyone in promoting and expanding the cause. This depends on each individual's talent and whether they can gain the group's recognition in the present moment. If there is significant disagreement instead, it will create substantial obstacles for the organization or group, making progress very difficult to achieve.
This unit will inevitably reduce its opportunities for external promotion and development. Have you ever realized: what are the causal conditions behind this, and how should they be addressed? Often, it is due to the influence of individual heroism, leading to the implementation of differing perceptions and ideas. In fact, in every moment and context, how can we enable everyone to discern clearly?
To apply all of one's abilities in action! Moreover, under such conditions of cause and effect, it can help everyone gain greater recognition, thereby enabling the wholesome reliance on a collective unit or even within a small family—this holds true in all cases! Without discriminating against anyone, there will inevitably be opportunities to stand out and excel, depending on the effort each person invests according to their own abilities!
Guangze Zunwang said: At the same time, let everyone come to recognize that it will also distinguish between "those who stand long enough under the stage will become part of the show" and the abilities each person demonstrates, thereby determining the conditions for whether one will become a leadership talent in the future! In the human world, unity is strength; this is also how to promote an organization or religion.
Thus, diverse leadership talents are cultivated, enabling this organization, community, and religion to possess greater strength for propagation and outreach. If, under such conditions of affinity, there is also the condition of "everyone uniting with one heart," and if all can truly be of one mind, then the necessity of outward propagation and outreach will naturally be fulfilled.
How should one behave within a group when they are recognized as a talent by all, yet if they are not a talent and are also aloof, coupled with a host of eccentric temperaments! If such a person, they would be overthinking matters; when it comes to genuinely promoting a unit, it is likely not a matter of what they wish to do, but rather they may encounter numerous obstacles!
Moreover, it makes people fundamentally unwilling to identify with it, thus creating significant obstacles. Within this organization or group, when seeking to promote and propagate teachings, such individuals among humanity are everywhere. Under the influence of personal heroism, it further prevents everyone from truly identifying with the cause. In reality, the present era has already evolved into an age of "collective promotion and propagation."
This will lead to a greater and more authentic expansion outward in spreading the teachings, which is driven by a powerful force—the strength of unity! Only when the community is united in heart and mind in propagating the teachings can it genuinely extend across the world. Let us all reflect carefully on this: herein lies the immense power of unity, of coming together with one heart.
Only then can the affairs of a group, organization, company, business, religion, sect, or small family be genuinely promoted externally. This will lead to the transformation of spiritual endeavors into gold, fostering unity of heart and strength among all. Thus, the day when spiritual endeavors turn into gold is assuredly within reach, bound to arrive sooner or later.
Guangze Zunwang:
It can be called the shared heart of humanity,  
Transforming the root of karma into wisdom free from ignorance.
Eliminate the sins of heroes past, and there shall be good tidings of virtue.
Sovereign of Destiny
Let us join hands in promotion,  
Spreading great virtue for human well-being.
Who is fit to lead?  
It varies across time and place.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: when all unite with one heart, it can transform into immense strength—this is indeed the case! This applies equally to any organization, religion, or family. What can be relied upon is this: only when everyone unites with one heart and works together to propagate and promote outwardly can the true nature be realized! Today, I thank you all for accompanying the completion of the seventeenth chapter of *The Great Dao, One Family*, and I extend my gratitude once more. Farewell!
## Wuji Doukou Lingguan  Ma Sheng Tianjun
## The Limitless Vast and Numinous Official, Celestial Lord Wang Ling
The Celestial Venerable of Southern Heaven ascends in glory,  
gathering with the revered deities and sages of Chongxin.
All unite in heart and strive together, spreading teachings to reach the hearts of the people.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the two immortal teachers from our lineage—Wuji Siming Zhenjun and Wuji Guangze Zunwang—have descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They have already conveyed that through unity in promotion and everyone working together to spread it outward, there will be growth in goodness, elevation, and transcendence.
To analyze within, distinguish between the kind described as "those who linger long under the stage," and the other kind with "the genuine and true ability to lead" people, affairs, and matters—only this is authentic! I wonder if everyone has felt, through the analysis by the immortal Buddhas and teachers today: how to allow oneself to grow and ascend upward, thereby achieving a return that transcends!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can join in and step up the pace, as this will greatly contribute to the promotion and dissemination of our teachings! It also offers everyone an opportunity for learning and growth, which must be seized properly to avoid the predicament of "regretting too little when the need arises." Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Limitless Principle-Wisdom Contemplator of the World's Sounds Bodhisattva
The Great Dao series exhibitions spread and glorify,
All sentient beings are equally cherished.
Sublime works stand as the foremost,  
Their practice in the world resounds through heaven and earth.
Yue Fei, the Martial King, said: Sentient beings, upon entering the human world, are bound by two chains: the "food chain and the chain of affairs." Once the condition known as "food and clothing" is secured, a small family can achieve virtuous growth and elevation. This principle applies universally across the human world, regardless of any nation or religion.
Regardless of race, all are governed by this principle, which in the human world is known as: sustenance for the body and necessities for life! This causal condition, for all human beings, inevitably leads to a continuous increase in demands, while simultaneously intertwining survival—"food and affairs"—as interconnected elements.
Thus, a chain of currency sufficiency is established, which in turn creates the opportunity for the possession of all that is good. This forms a chain of causes and conditions, linking all dependencies of survival orientation. Consequently, human beings have always found themselves in a state where they can rely on good means for sustenance, while also facing the question: after all basic needs are met, what comes next?
Furthermore, some individuals, recognizing the necessity of spiritual sustenance, immerse themselves in the educational courses offered by religions for cultivation. This underscores the essential role of religious culture. Such conditions and circumstances arise because humanity has long existed in a state of considerable instability in the process of survival, creating a need for a space where the spirit can find refuge.
The Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven said: In the human world, there exists a reliance on all spiritual sustenance, which can be anchored in one’s present self, and there is also a rather comfortable process of survival. This means: it is essential to rely on both "spirit and survival" simultaneously, and there is also the necessity of nurturing life as a mutual support between spirit and survival.
It is within the human world that religious beliefs flourish and thrive. Religion is likened to a sublime faith to which one can turn, allowing individuals to orient their lives toward a higher level of spiritual reliance. Some people embrace religion precisely to elevate their thoughts and transcend their current state.
If viewed through this line of thought: the survival orientation of human beings also cannot be separated from reliance on religious faith. For one who enters into religious belief, this cause and condition will manifest in placing oneself within a growth of spiritual sustenance, and will also give rise to the desire to enter into religious practice.
This leads to a desire for upward growth and fulfillment of needs, a condition that has always manifested itself in humanity in the present moment: I have joined the ranks of religious faith and simultaneously identified myself as a religious practitioner, which is only natural. Moreover, for ordinary people, entering religious faith to engage in spiritual practice is an essential part of this necessity.
Yue Wumu once said: In the human world, once religious faith exists, can it be elevated further, or is it merely a matter of reliance on faith? This gives rise to many distinctions. Thus, within a small family, why must there be goodness, harmony, and unity of heart? When entering the conditions for cultivation in a larger family, the supportive role of goodness becomes evident.
Further advancement involves expanding into a broader and more extensive mission of propagation. Such conditions and opportunities are what everyone desires for a truly significant undertaking in spreading the teachings. However, it is essential to consider whether the religion you believe in possesses such capability. Or is it merely a conventional religious belief? Moreover, if it lacks this foundation, it will never genuinely progress toward a vast and expansive mission of propagation.
Therefore, it forms a kind of situation called: Did you bet on the right treasure? If you did not bet on the right treasure, you will simply return to the human world in the next life, merely cycling through religious beliefs. This is the crucial point upon which most human beings rely when entering faith, and it also distinguishes the fundamental conditions of the religion one believes in, as well as how they are!
Have you truly devoted yourself to the conditions necessary for upward growth? Moreover, this entails significant distinctions within the human world, and by integrating oneself into a "greater collective" to ascend, how can one move toward a broader spiritual foundation? Only then can genuine progress and transcendence be achieved through diligent advancement—this is a choice one can make!
Otherwise, even after entering a religion, it remains difficult to advance and transcend further. This can be observed as follows: most religious beliefs in the world today are extensions of doctrines established 2,500 years ago, continuing into the present era. Few are like the Chongxin Sect, which has the compassionate guidance and profound virtues of celestial immortals and buddhas descending to enlighten humanity.
Descending to the human realm to conduct an even more transcendent analysis, it will also distill the mysteries of heaven and earth, the cosmos, and the stars into the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." This will enable all followers of the Chongxin lineage and its students to comprehend firsthand materials and find broader reliance. Thus, surpassing even contemporary scientists, it fosters a more expansive and transcendent way of thinking.
The Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Heaven declared: The lineage of the Revered Heart Sect is thus able to have the Great Compassionate Venerable Mother Lishan of the Void and Wuji, who humbly approached the Supreme Celestial Mother of Wuji, the sisters, to jointly deliberate. They decided to send their beloved disciple to descend into the mortal world. At the same time, they borrowed the Celestial Lord of the Illuminated Heart and Principle from the Void to descend into the mortal realm, achieving the integration of the five teachings, with all its profound and exceptional analysis.
This set of conditions and circumstances is unparalleled by any religion over the past five thousand years of human history. It also involves an analysis of the Buddhist philosophical principle of "Consciousness-Only," presented in a remarkably clear and accessible manner, allowing all of humanity to grasp it at a glance.
How could one possibly comprehend all the mysteries contained within! At the same time, the secrets of the cosmos, the void, the boundless celestial realms, along with a portion of the mysteries of the Haotian star system, have been transmitted to the human world. This transmission differs from the entirety of the cosmic galaxy, interlinking with the Earthly Nether Star to combine greater celestial secrets and bring them down to the human realm.
This can be said: it is truly unparalleled in the world! There is no second lineage that has manifested such a cause and condition; only the Chongxin Sect possesses this. It prompted the Primordial Mother of Lishan from the Void and Wuji to, last year, completely transform the spiritual momentum of all the sacred sites of the Chongxin Sect, reconfiguring every aspect to foster a well-regulated and expansive atmosphere for propagation and transformation.
This is something everyone should be able to understand: We ought to be grateful to the Vast Emptiness and Limitless Old Mother of Mount Li for her profound dedication to the Chongxin Lineage. All her great virtues and blessings bestowed upon the Chongxin Lineage are extraordinary causes and conditions. From this, we can understand how to implement these teachings in the human world and how to achieve perfection in our practice.
Moreover, all these auspicious conditions are further propagated throughout heaven and earth, and can even be extended across the cosmos! This means that within the human realm, under such conditions of cause and effect, we carry out our practice in the world. At the same time, we hope that everyone can join together to achieve self-fulfillment and help all sentient beings ascend, grow, and transcend to higher realms.
However, this prerequisite must be collectively embraced by all: to make a great vow and carry out its promotion. I wonder if everyone is willing? (Response: Yes! We are willing!) Oh! Such a resounding voice! It signifies that everyone has the confidence to propagate the teachings across heaven and earth in the future, to spread the sublime conditions of the celestial realms throughout the universe, to accomplish self-cultivation while delivering sentient beings. Let us also give ourselves some encouragement—applause, please!
Xuantian Shangdi:
With such faith to propagate and transform,  
A truly wondrous flower blooms in the human realm.
Cultivate oneself to deliver all beings, leaving a legacy of fine tales for ages to come.
Yue Fei, the Martial and Majestic King
Sincerity in devotion, true sincerity in devotion, means having a single, unwavering heart.
United as one in solidarity, the future may become the heart of the universe.
This verse! Let us encourage each other together; in this world, there is truly none like the Chongxin Sect! This is the great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the sacred lineage of the Great Dao, promoting its propagation and expansion, offering humanity the opportunity for virtuous growth and elevation. At the same time, it allows all to genuinely benefit and accumulate hidden merits and virtuous character, which can serve as reliance for the future!
Our two teachers also want to say to everyone: Thank you for accompanying us in this work. You've all worked hard, and we must continue to strive diligently. Farewell for now!
## Marshal of Manifest Virtue, Celestial Lord Wen Qiong

Countless Dharma Protectors of Wuji ascend,  
The Chief Steward reveres the divine, the Buddha, and humanity.
The Great Dao series unfolds across the cosmos,  
Its practice in the human realm stands as clear proof.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the two immortal teachers from our lineage—Wuji Yue Wumu Wang and Xuantian Shangdi—have descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They will elucidate the dissemination of teachings in the human realm and the implementation by heaven and earth, allowing everyone to understand: what are the key issues contained within!
How should one act? One must also have the aspiration to propagate the truth with genuine sincerity! Under such conditions of affinity, it can be understood that by making the "great vow" below, there are many ways to withstand the repayment of karmic cause and effect! I hope everyone, just as today, can join the immortal and Buddha teachers in making this great vow, for this is the true path!
Otherwise, without such a grand aspiration in the future, how could you possibly have the immortal and buddha teachers help everyone ward off and completely resolve all "karmic creditors"? This is an absolutely true fact, rarely revealed and imparted to help everyone understand. Today, we have reached this point—thank you all for your hard work! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance and salvation will proceed as usual. Let us continue to strive together with hope.
If the above principles are well applied, and the achievements thus attained are shared, warmly welcoming back our brothers and sisters, then all the hard work will be worthwhile. Thank you all for your efforts, and farewell!
## Wuji Zhongyi Wenheng Shengdi
The Wuji cause and effect bestows reverence upon the heart,  
Teaching and transforming all living beings with tangible form.
The City God primarily governs the realm of the underworld,  
A supreme path of cultivation and growth.
The Heavenly Venerable of Enlightenment said: When sentient beings enter the human world, they rely on either a Buddha-nature to attain enlightenment or a demon-nature to gain realization. The difference between the two lies in this: one is founded upon the reliance on the Heavenly Will, while the other lacks such reliance on the Heavenly Will! Moreover, these two paths will give rise to vastly different karmic causes and conditions in the future.
It is akin to the human realm: there exists the potential for ascension and liberation from the Earthly Nether Star System. This condition of causality is like possessing a ticket, which allows one to board what is called an intangible aerial vessel to depart from the human world. Without such a ticket, it would be impossible to smoothly leave the Earthly Nether Star System.
This kind is bound to give rise to great helplessness over a period of time, but those who can transcend it do so by following the proper channels, demonstrating the workings of the human world and the celestial realms. Those who lack this ticket as their reliance are, in other words, stowaways. How, then, do all conditions in the human world allow for transcendence?
Most of these have been truthfully issued by the Heavenly Realm, with a ticket as evidence, ensuring that there will be no deficiencies or shortcomings in the future. Therefore, it is destined to manifest in the human world. This is precisely why, in the realization of "Buddha-nature" and the comprehension of "demonic nature," such conditions exist—it is all part of the normal process of transcendence.
The City God Emperor said: In the mortal world, it is as if there exists a grand and sacred mission, which also poses a question to all practitioners of faith: can they truly possess the "provision stage" as a foundation? Without the "provision stage" to rely upon, it becomes rather difficult to attain the "practice stage"!
It is akin to studying abroad, where the host institution has already enrolled you in its student roster. Without such favorable conditions and connections, even after leaving one's home country, it is uncertain whether one can truly secure such an educational environment. Furthermore, one can discern the differences between formal education and informal education.
Although the teachings are identical, they cannot serve as the basis for a genuine diploma. This very condition applies to all those in the human realm who attain the fruition of enlightenment—it is precisely under such conditions that they rely on this attainment and experience the distinctions in their growth and realization. So, what can true religious practitioners do about this?
Is there a necessity for virtuous growth? This entails the distinction between "realizing the truth and embodying the insight" as it truly is. For every sentient being, most hope to have a genuine basis for attaining fruition, and do not wish to spend the same time, effort, and resources only to find themselves unable to graduate in the end—a situation that is truly helpless!
The Celestial Venerable of Enlightenment said: Such are the conditions of karma in the human realm. Specifically concerning all "attainments of Buddhahood," there are only thirteen stages in the human world. However, if we speak of "comprehension through demonic nature," there are twenty stages. Hence, the ancient saying serves as a warning: "When the Dao rises by a foot, demons rise by ten; when the Dao rises by ten feet, demons loom overhead."
Can sentient beings comprehend this cause? Within it lies the following: the "realization of demonic nature" surpasses the "fruition of Buddha-nature" even more truthfully! Therefore, although the growth of both "Buddha" and "demon" is the same, it is distinguished by the degree of difference in one's own "virtuous nature."
Therefore, when distinguishing between "the fruit of Buddhahood and the fruit of demonhood," it is even more essential to rely on authentic and truthful foundations as the correct path! Otherwise, it would be akin to the education provided by ordinary tutoring centers, which lack any genuine diploma, yet can surpass—or even exceed—the training offered by standard formal education!
Thus, we observe the individual's attained realization. For instance, if one lacks a formal diploma yet has surpassed the growth of formal education, such conditions and circumstances can be clearly discerned through each IC microchip. In this way, there is no opportunity for falsification in time and space.
Furthermore, regarding the achievements of "attaining Buddhahood and realizing demonic nature," they are essentially the same, differing only in the possession of a diploma. This applies to all realms of the universe and celestial worlds! As for the realization of demonic nature, do they not also desire a genuine diploma? Thus, it is necessary to follow the proper steps, advancing steadily one step at a time!
Only then can one genuinely enhance the necessity of upward growth, while also enabling oneself to truly acquire knowledge through formal education and further strengthen all one's abilities through supplementary education. This approach is more likely to yield higher scores in future assessments, though it applies primarily to the humanities; other disciplines may not necessarily possess the same conditions.
The City God Deity said: Only by examining the true nature of reality, and observing the varying degrees of virtue and their distinct functions in each individual, can one genuinely achieve greater transcendence and growth in the future! Moreover, the manifestation of Buddha-nature and the manifestation of demonic nature are separated by only a thin line. Thus, one may contemplate: why is it that among sentient beings, some attain genuine realization while others gain insights that are not aligned with truth?
If one aspires to navigate toward the celestial realms in the future, it is essential to clearly understand the following: one must discern how, in the present moment, to propel oneself into the broader cosmic expanse, and equally discern that only by transcending the Earth-Moon star system can one truly enter the "foundation of Buddhahood" and propagate its teachings in the future.
This enables a greater growth experience, as the human world is formed by the convergence of causes and conditions. No one wishes to be limited to "demonic realizations" alone. Moreover, this distinction lies in the fact that beyond the Earthly Nether Star System, there remain over 360 levels of the greater celestial realms. Therefore, the celestial immortals and buddhas are by no means confined solely to the Earthly Nether Star System.
In the future, one can truly discern: the authentic verification of over 360 levels! Thus, beyond the heavens there are heavens, and above people there are people. Beyond the Milky Way galaxy, there exist even vaster galaxies. The human world is but a frog at the bottom of a well, viewing the sky—unaware of its own limitations. Yet, if one truly wishes to transcend the Earthly Nether Galaxy, it is essential to possess: the energy of hidden virtue.
If at this very moment, one is prone to comparison, calculation, and lacks self-discipline, then for you: it is extremely difficult to even begin any cultivation, and fundamentally, there is no way to transcend the Di Ming star system. One remains confined within all the limitations of the human world, thinking only: "I am the greatest!" Therefore, human beings rarely have such opportunities.
If one always believes that all the practices in the world are only meant to be applied after transcending it in the future, and that in the present moment, one merely maintains a healthy and sound body—this distinction lies in whether one possesses the virtue, virtue, and virtuous nature of virtue. Otherwise, it is merely the demon, demon, and demonic nature of demons that manifests, and what can be done about it?
When one's demonic nature is revealed, it can be recognized at a glance by others, yet one remains utterly unaware of it oneself. Instead, one might even accuse others of "displaying demonic traits," akin to a mute tasting bitter herbs—unable to articulate the suffering, and powerless to change it. Such individuals are all too common in this world, yet it remains profoundly difficult for them to discern their own shortcomings and deficiencies.
Therefore, the revered immortals and buddhas of the Chongxin lineage have, through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," from the first volume: *The Heart Lamp of the Great Dao*, to the current thirty-sixth volume: *The Great Dao as One Family*, consistently emphasized only one theme: virtue, virtue, virtue—the essence of 'moral character.' Thus, can everyone comprehend: how all the celestial mysteries and profound secrets within are unveiled?
City God, the Imperial Lord:
The great virtue of virtue is its nature,  
The great enlightenment of demons is their awakening.
What in the world manifests the Buddha-nature?  
All are but the workings of the demon-nature.
Heavenly Venerable of Enlightenment and Transformation:
The Great Dao unites all in its promotion; the year of Jiawu brings a distinct difference.
Observe how the reverent heart acts,  
The heavens arrange for talents to descend.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; to evolve and achieve greater growth in the future is the true path! It is also genuine to sincerely cultivate a virtuous upward progression for oneself. Thank you all for standing by today to compose this together, and truly, thank you all. Farewell!

Where virtue and sincerity are fully endowed with true devotion.
The true deities unite with the hearts of gods and people,  
All gather together as one in unity.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the two immortal teachers from our lineage—the Wuji Teaching Heavenly Sovereign and the Wuji City God Emperor—have descended to compose the nineteenth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." This chapter focuses on the initial segment of benefiting humanity and navigating toward the cosmos, which we shall now explore together!
It also truthfully analyzes that, regarding the supreme being of the world, no explicit teachings or explanations have been given. Instead, it addresses all of humanity, allowing everyone to understand that acting truthfully in accordance with the future is the right path! At the same time, the true meaning of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" has been distinguished within the heavenly scriptures. Can everyone comprehend this?
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Tomorrow evening, there will be a lecture course by the Zen master, after which we will begin teaching the first part of the foundational practice: "The Secret Dharma of the Ultimate Great Way, True Buddha, Heaven and Earth." Is everyone ready to learn and grow with confidence?
It is essential to strive diligently, for it is in the future that we must discern how to differentiate: how to address all the "energy entities" emerging from the Dim Star of Earth! Well, the day after tomorrow marks the celebration of the Holy Birthday of the Heavenly Holy Mother and Teacher. In advance of this auspicious occasion for warm blessings, we also hope everyone can join together in offering congratulations. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Limitless Principle of Wisdom Contemplating the Sound of the World Bodhisattva
The boundless grace descends upon the reverent heart,  
All beings in the vast world are endowed with compassion.
The Great Dao unfolds across the human world,  
Yet its capacity operates on varying levels.
Lord Guan Yu the Sage Emperor said: When sentient beings enter the human world, they rely on all forms of energy to sustain their existence and guide their path of survival. This so-called "energy" in the human world can only be attained through various methods. For sentient beings, it is indeed a most excellent endowment!
It is precisely because the energy body is essential for all human beings to possess, and because there is a genuine necessity for upward growth and elevation, that through the human condition—which has always been oriented toward survival—it depends on whether one can ascend and grow, or merely rely on faith. This provides humanity with the means to transcend and elevate.
Thus, we have: the first necessity is the nourishment of life; the second necessity is the pursuit of comfort and ease; the third necessity is the sustenance of the spirit; the fourth leads to entering religion for faith; the fifth, which is also of considerable importance, pertains to spiritual growth; and this fifth aspect is solely within the realm of entering religious faith.
It is not even a matter of basic understanding: only by truly entering the "nature-essence" can one attain the right path! However, human beings tend to differentiate: they rely on faith and practice toward sages, immortals, and buddhas, and at the same time, they support and uphold religions through acts of charity. This allows religious faith to flourish and develop authentically!
The Sage Emperor of the Three Passes said: In the realm of human existence, within religious faith, can one truly discern: how should the nature of being be elevated, enhanced, and transcended? If one can genuinely enter into the understanding of the nature of being, there will be virtuous growth and elevation. At the same time, this raises the question: since ancient times, has there been a mutual balance between human survival and religious faith?
Or is it merely relying on: sustenance and spiritual faith as a refuge? If sentient beings can discern: how to deeply root themselves in the foundation of virtue upon entering the realm of nature, they will gain great strength to support themselves. This will enable them to grasp the true mysteries of heaven and earth within their religious beliefs, thereby achieving elevation!
This is one of the most difficult things for sentient beings to comprehend: if, as humans say, after the "energy body" is perfected, it becomes necessary to develop a "quantum-energy body" to achieve completeness, then this quantum-energy body becomes the primary basis for transcending the spatial realm of Earth. It is precisely because of the quantum-energy body that one can smoothly depart from the spatial confines of Earth.
This is akin to: only after obtaining a ticket (a basis) can one, by virtue of possessing virtue, genuinely sustain all energy entities in the human world—for it is precisely because of the completeness of virtue that one gains the capacity to uphold them! And what is meant by "capacity entity"? It refers to a kind of self-luminous QNA that is inherently complete, something humanity fundamentally does not comprehend!
Otherwise, if sentient beings attempt to depart from the spatial confines of the Earthly Obscurity Star, they would swiftly be annihilated by the adverse radiation surrounding it. This radiation, which emanates from the interstellar periphery of the Earthly Obscurity Star, comprises over ten distinct types, all of which are lethal to human beings and spiritual entities. Regardless of whether one possesses an energy body below fifty thousand units, none would be spared from its effects.
It will thus be susceptible to damage from destructive forces. Therefore, it is necessary to possess an energy body of over one hundred thousand volts in order to be fully capable of departing the space of the Earthly Nether Star. Furthermore, regarding the human beings who are invited, the future will involve distinctions such as "relocating to transform other places" or "transforming to relocate elsewhere." Within these different orientations, there also exists a kind of destructive force.
However, upon attaining enlightenment through the righteous path, the Heavens bestow a transformation via an "energy body," enabling one to possess the "quantum energy body" necessary to depart from the Earthly Nether Star. Moreover, this transformative power, which the Heavens rely upon, allows those who have achieved the fruit of enlightenment to neutralize the destructive forces of leaving the Earthly Nether Star System and shield themselves from its periphery.
Just as enlightened beings, saints, immortals, or buddhas seeking liberation may also be harmed by negative radiation from the periphery, if one possesses a sufficient protective energy, it can be transformed within one's own body into what is called the "energy body." This energy body relies on the various celestial systems upheld by Heaven, drawing upon all protective energies for support.
The Second Sage-Emperor Guan said: It is precisely this reliance on inherent nature that enables the true departure from the spatial realm of the Earthly Underworld Star! Moreover, within the varying levels of cosmic energy, one can discern: after departing the spatial realm of the Earthly Underworld Star, how do the different levels constrain ordinary sages, immortals, and buddhas, and what of the various interstellar realms?
However, they cannot fully comprehend: all the distinctions among these levels are merely known, fundamentally incapable of being discerned: as for how this kind of "quantum-energy entity" is endowed, most only know its nominal aspects. When attempting to delve into the processes of all its levels, they are unable to thoroughly grasp these inner key points.
Forming the hierarchy of entities with varying magnitudes of energy! It is akin to an elementary school student who merely understands the concept of university, yet there are still: master's research and doctoral research, not to mention overseas advanced studies, and what about postdoctoral fellowships? The entire hierarchy of entities with different magnitudes of energy in the vast universe is precisely endowed with the self-luminous QNA!
If one possesses sufficient energy within their own body, they can depart; however, if their personal energy is insufficient, they cannot smoothly leave the spatial realm of the Diming Star. Hence, beyond the spatial realm of the Diming Star, there exist over 360 levels of the great cosmic celestial realms. Corresponding to these cosmic interstellar heavens, there are also the pure land kingdoms of various religions.
Just as all these—the worlds of the Heavenly Realm, the Kingdom of Heaven, the Pure Land, the Eastern World, the Southern World, the Western World, and the Northern World—are merely different levels within the Haotian Star System, there are also: the Brocade Star World, the Roma Star World, the Daluo Star World, the Wuji World, the Void World...
The vast expanse of the cosmic interstellar realm encompasses countless boundless celestial spaces! Humanity, confined to the earthly plane, can scarcely comprehend: how does the celestial equator align with the earthly ecliptic to illuminate the entirety of cosmic space? Thus, is it not foolish that humans persistently engage in disputes over superiority and inferiority, right and wrong, opposing views, and correctness within the confines of this world?
The Sage Emperor of the Three Passes said: If humanity relies solely on distinctions such as right and wrong, truth and falsehood, correctness and error, or good and evil, it is fundamentally impossible to truly ascend and transcend! Without the teachings of the Chongxin Lineage, which elucidate all aspects of the cosmic realms, the religions of the human world would merely remain confined to the classical doctrines ingrained from the past.
There is a fundamental lack of true understanding: How should one ascend and grow? This results in a situation where one is clearly aware but unable to truly put it into practice. Furthermore, the vast cosmic galaxies possess the "quantum energy body" in its entirety, which is also inherent in one's own physical QNA. Thus, it can be fulfilled through the "quantum energy bodies" of various interstellar entities.
When such completeness is attained, greater energy is thereby generated, enabling the re-emergence of all past experiences through a form of memory. At this moment, the question arises: how can the functional efficacy of humanity truly achieve a transformative space? Once the QNA energy body reaches its full potential, correspondingly, this QNA energy becomes fully realized.
At the same time, one can discern what all aspirations truly entail! This is because aspirations entail significant differentiation: whether one desires to ascend upward or to remain in the human world for further evolution and elevation? This further gives rise to distinctions: one can make choices for oneself, and there will be no disharmony whatsoever. Yet, it also results in what may not be suitable after one’s departure—how then is all energy to be understood?
When sentient beings possess sufficient QNA energy, they experience an impulse to transcend their current state. This is because such QNA energy can already resonate with the cosmic space of galaxies and star systems. The primary condition for this lies in the transformation of the QNA energy body—a concept fundamentally absent in the awareness of ordinary humans.
It is necessary to undergo transformation within the QNA energy body, as this is an inevitable energy conversion. If one remains in a state where the QNA energy body is fully realized, then naturally, upon contact with the QNA energy body, a powerful supporting force will arise, propelling oneself toward the cosmic expanse.
At this stage, human beings are merely existing within the mortal world. If one aspires to ascend beyond it, it is essential to possess a certain ability: the power to channel the energy body. Only then can one continue to sustain the energy body and accumulate greater hidden virtues and moral character in the human realm. At this point, one is no longer referred to as a "human"!
The Sage Emperor of the Three Passes
The mysteries of heaven descend to the mortal realm, yet sentient beings fail to grasp the truth.
Believing the cosmos delights in travel, energy abundant, the universe is born.
The Second Sage-Emperor Guan
The capacity of the body is already complete, yet within the energy body, it accumulates still further.
Cultivate virtue and morality within oneself,  
Ascend ever higher to return to the celestial halls.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; moreover, regarding how to benefit oneself in the human world and navigate the universe, it is essential to understand: only by rectifying the deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors inherent in human beings can we achieve the necessary upward growth. This also grants us great opportunities for elevation in our earthly existence.
Thus it becomes clear: how the multitude of human beings in the earthly realm of the Di Ming Star should strive with the heavens to achieve the great undertaking that spans millennia—this is the true path! It is not merely about remaining in the human world to contend over right and wrong, superiority and inferiority, pros and cons, or correctness and error. We are grateful for everyone’s companionship in this work. Our two teachers would like to say to all: Thank you, and we appreciate your hard work. Farewell!
##Limitless Maitreya Buddha
##Wuji Amitabha Buddha
The King of the Earth Treasury at the Altar of Boundless Virtue,  
The Bodhisattva ascends the platform, a true beacon of hope.
Revere the heart to truly unfold the universe; thus there is a return to the flourishing virtue of heaven.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Second Gate Saint Emperor and the Third Gate Saint Emperor of our lineage have descended to compose the twentieth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," analyzing the first chapter on cosmic energy and its different levels. This will help everyone understand: What happens after departing from the Earthly Nether Star?
This is meant to instill a certain understanding in everyone, so that if you encounter such situations in the future, you will not be at a loss. This celestial revelation is being imparted for the first time. Therefore, in the coming times, these truths will continue to be revealed and analyzed, allowing you to grasp all the mysteries within! Such an opportunity is truly rare.
This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity is something that has never before descended upon the mortal world—it must be cherished with utmost care! Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance and salvation activities will proceed as usual. The day after tomorrow marks this month’s repentance ritual assembly. Let us all come together to welcome back all our brothers and sisters, and advance the ranks of the Chongxin lineage in spreading its teachings! Very well, thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!
## Wuji Zhongyi Wenheng Shengdi
The Limitless descends upon Chongxin Hall,  
The Great Dao series unfolds and expands.
A supreme work stands unparalleled under heaven,  
Its capacity and merit are unlike any other.
Marshal Ma Sheng Tian Jun said: When the sentient sages, immortals, and buddhas of the human world enter the stage of attaining fruition and completing purification, they have already acquired the capacity for further advancement in their attainment. This involves possessing the "energy body" of the Earthly Nether Star System and transforming it into the fully realized "quantum energy body." Ordinary human beings are unable to comprehend: how is such attainment in the human world even possible!
Why, at the moment of attaining enlightenment, is there a credential based on the conditions of one's merits? The distinction lies solely within the human realm, as well as the ability to transcend the Earthly Nether Star System! This karma, in relation to this credential that relies on merits for enlightenment, further distinguishes between those who can transcend and those who cannot transcend the Earthly Nether Star System, based on the certification they hold!
Thus, in distinguishing the basis for these two types among sentient beings, sages, immortals, and buddhas, the majority of ordinary beings rely solely on the realm of the Diming Star. The other type, however, is capable of transcending the Diming Star system. Based on these two foundations, a distinction is made: whether one possesses sufficient virtue or is endowed with an energy body.
The distinction also lies in: how were all the educational and cultural courses of the past! If one merely relies on the spatial realm of the Earthly Underworld, serving as the main or auxiliary deity in various palaces, halls, or temples, that is merely what is taught for general operations in the underworld. Moreover, it can be further differentiated: the cultivation and educational courses of the Haotian Star System are entirely different.
If educated within the Haotian star system, one would receive a higher-level cultural and educational curriculum. At even more advanced levels, greater possibilities emerge; this is precisely what allows departure from the Diming star system. Such energy entities, upon reaching this stage, must transform into what is termed "quantum energy entities" capable of leaving the Diming star system.
The Celestial Lord Wang Ling said: Possessing such a measure of capacity and substance, it is no longer merely the principal deity of an ordinary religious temple or hall, but rather attains a more sublime fruition. Consequently, in the human realm, there is no higher means to transform the energy body, nor to rely upon for an even more transcendent fruition. This is what distinguishes all titles of sages, immortals, and buddhas.
Although the names may be the same, there is a vast difference in the level of attainment. How can this be explained? This set of causal conditions serves as a kind of diploma for all those capable of liberation, thus creating a distinction between those who can achieve liberation and those who cannot! For those capable of liberation, it is necessary to possess the ability to transform their energy body.
This kind of causal condition necessitates the "Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart" to synthesize it into a relatively elevated form of energy capacity. This energy, which is "sustained" through the Sacred Mirror of the Heavenly Heart, undergoes transformation, and simultaneously, this diploma serves as a basis. For those capable of transcending, it also carries a purifying effect.
It is precisely by converting the "energy body" into the conditions possessed by the "quantitative energy body" that this quantitative energy body, relying on this certificate of attainment, must serve as a supporting structure. Simultaneously, for those who have already attained the fruit of enlightenment, through the illumination of the "Heavenly Heart Sacred Mirror," there exists a basis for conversion into a highly potent quantitative energy body.
This is the only divine opportunity and favorable circumstance in the world that has never been revealed from past times up to the present era. It is also what these enlightened beings who have attained the fruit of the Dao rely upon—namely, the "capacity body" they possess. The possession of this "capacity body" signifies a necessary reliance and foundation for attaining the fruit of enlightenment.
Marshal Ma Sheng Tian Jun said: Just like all "domestic and international" flight tickets in the human world, this is akin to determining which star system one wishes to depart to from the Earthly Nether Star System. If one’s merits and achievements are insufficient, it is as if the ticket can only take one to a nearby domestic city. If one wishes to go farther, is that possible?
It is not something that can be purchased with money, nor does it possess the destination of such a ticket. Thus, there is no possibility of boarding it as one would a real flight. Only when one's own capacity is transformed to a highly advanced state, and only if one is willing, can one depart from the chosen place in accordance with that capacity.
If one does not possess such a ticket, is it possible to journey to other realms? Fundamentally, it is not! Unless one’s energy body has transcended far beyond the ordinary, a choice may be made; otherwise, one can only proceed in accordance with celestial laws. The transformation of this energy body must rely on a foundation, which is of utmost importance, yet for the most part, it cannot be chosen by oneself.
One can only rely on following the laws of heaven as a foundation. What of the next opportunity? Fundamentally, it is impossible to discern: if one were to depart from the Earth-Ming star system in the future, where would one seek to return? It is exceedingly difficult to comprehend! And how much probability does such reliance hold? Most of humanity's reliance on religious faith can ascend and transcend, but it is essential to genuinely adhere to the religion in which one believes.
Lord Wang Ling Tianjun said: At the same time, it is only genuine to affirm and appreciate other religions as well! Otherwise, sentient beings will always believe that the religion they follow is supremely elevated—this is understandable. However, what becomes of a religious believer who affirms their own faith while rejecting all others?
No matter how extraordinary one's achievements may be, if there is no affirmation of other religions, even those with great merits in the human world or those in positions of high authority cannot pass through the reflection held by the Heavenly Heart's Sacred Mirror. They will inevitably be cast down at the very first instance of an unjust and unequal mindset.
Second: Even if one has amassed abundant merits, they remain but a solitary self-admiration! This is precisely the reason why one, relying on an unjust and unequal framework, fails to transcend the conditions governing the underworld star system, and instead falls back into the human realm, destined for another cycle of reincarnation.
Moreover, why is it that the multitude of human beings cannot comprehend all the merits and outcomes that arise from the desire to transcend? It is inevitable that they will be prematurely eliminated when confronted with injustice and inequality—what can be done? This is a fundamental issue that humanity simply fails to discern, let alone understand how all the underlying problems truly manifest.
It merely lies in one's own actions, fundamentally looking down upon the teachings and conditions of other religions, which will lead to being eliminated and unable to discern: how do the various different levels of "energy bodies" within the Earthly Dark Star System transcend? We shall leave this for the next occasion, to be further analyzed by other holy Buddhas!
Marshal Ma Sheng
Cosmic energies vary in grade, yet humans believe they can align.
In truth, the problem lies within oneself—therein lies the foundation for transcending limitations.
Wang Ling, the Celestial Lord
True justice in the world demands equality,  
Only then can genuine merit be distinguished.
Then one may ascend to the celestial realm, to be together in mutual companionship.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it also applies to all religious leaders in the human world, who similarly rely on their own merits as the foundation. This is a crucial matter that human beings must discern. Otherwise, though many may believe their merits to be profound, if this remains only in the depths of their hearts, can they truly comprehend it?
It is utterly impossible to ascend and transcend; one can only be trapped in the cycle of rebirth within the human realm. Is this not sorrowful? It is truly not worth it! Everyone must keep this in mind, for that is the true path. Now, our two immortal teachers also thank you all for accompanying us in this work. Thank you, you have worked hard. Farewell, everyone!
##Namo Fuma Wande Ancient Buddha
The Bodhisattva of Infinite Wisdom and Insight, Avalokiteshvara, ascends the platform to gather with all sentient beings.
Promoting the lineage of the Chongxin Sect,  
All unite with a single heart.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the teachings are delivered through the descent of the Wuji Huoluo Lingguan, Heavenly Lord Wang Ling, and the Doukou Lingguan, Heavenly Lord Ma Sheng, from our ancestral lineage. However, constrained by time and space, we have only elucidated half of the sufficient energy and different levels, leaving the remainder to be continued in the next celestial scripture.
Everyone should understand: what is the most serious issue concerning all religions in the human world? It is this: relying on a mindset of injustice and inequality. If such a mindset were to ascend and transcend, what would happen to the heavenly realms? They would fall into chaos! Moreover, there would be no righteous path to rely upon. This is an absolute truth! Can you comprehend this? Everyone must keep this firmly in mind! Very well, thank you for your efforts. Farewell!
##Saintly Virtue Immortal Maiden, Heavenly Holy Mother
The Great Way's family composes the celestial scriptures; the universe's measure of energy is truly extraordinary.
Series of Books, Chapter Twenty-Two: Departing from Energy and Describing the Capacity of Energy
Heavenly Lord Wen Qiong said: Sentient beings who have attained the realization of the path and comprehend its essence will thereby rely on the "energy body" and "quantum energy body" to transcend the Earthly Underworld star system and the energies of other star systems. How, then, do such causal conditions relate to sentient human beings and the diverse energies of various star systems?
Once one departs from their individual star system, a great destructive force is generated, along with a transformation of "quantum energy bodies" that bestows empowerment upon oneself. This situation can be understood as follows: for sentient beings after departure, all the different quantum energy bodies encountered, and all the conditions that can be fulfilled—how do they manifest!
It can be observed: there is a significant difference in the transformation of the "energy body," so how is it manifested in each step? How does this relate to departing from the Earthly Nether Star System? Ordinary human beings are fundamentally unaware—what is the underlying reason for this? Conversely, it also depends on religious practitioners and those who engage in spiritual practices.
There is fundamentally no such concept; one would only think that in the human world, it is enough to simply practice diligently! However, this is actually not the case. It is essential to understand: for the energy body, how can one truly embody the practitioner’s physical form? There exists a different kind of energy body influenced by gamma rays, and how can one transcend to reach the optimal state?
Marshal Zhao Gongming said: In the mortal realm, within the process of departing from the Earthly Nether Star System, all talk of "three blossoms converging at the crown" and "five energies returning to the origin" is merely discourse of the past. In the present era, these concepts have long been applied to contemporary scientific terminology, such as: "Goruwanqubulaxian," "Sanhuachenggoxuruxian," "Chenggowanquzhibuxian"... amounting to over twenty varieties.
Regarding the influence of the energy bodies of all groups in the Gamma Line, the energy bodies possessed by each planetary entity differ accordingly. This is akin to the Earth's space in the past, during the first kalpa, when it split and separated from another half—what is referred to by contemporary humanity as "Titan II." What is currently being verified in this context is: methane!
Thus, methane is uninhabitable for all living beings, yet on Titan, life has existed for billions of years. In contrast, humans lack the capacity to withstand such methane environments. It can be said that merely a brief presence in that planetary system would lead to annihilation by the energy of methane.
There is simply no room for existence. Thus, for energy entities akin to methane within the cosmic galaxy system, humanity fundamentally fails to discern: how could such energy entities be otherwise? This concept, it is believed, is utterly absent among human beings, and they are unable to comprehend: why would living beings exist within such a galaxy system?
This is the cosmic galaxy, where each entity differs in capacity and energy! The understanding of such matters in the human world is only superficial. In contrast, within the overall cosmic galaxy, there exist thousands of types of energetic entities, each catering to sentient beings of different levels, enabling their survival and thus existing within that galactic system.
Even what contemporary human beings refer to as high-level immortals, deities, bodhisattvas, and the like merely exist within the energy fields of different star systems! In this sense, if the energy body is insufficient, it cannot exist within that star system. Conversely, under such a perspective, human beings often believe: "If I cultivate well, I will attain perfection in the future!"
In that case, can one ascend directly to exist within different galactic systems? It is unlikely! Without the transformation of the "energy body," can one truly exist within such a galactic system? That is also unlikely! Regarding this capacity of energy, sentient beings among humanity often believe their cultivation to be flawless.
It also lies in the fact that virtue and hidden merit are essentially zero! Moreover, even if one's cultivation reaches a profound level, any further advancement would only lead to titles such as terrestrial immortal, terrestrial buddha, terrestrial deity, terrestrial sage, terrestrial bodhisattva, or terrestrial exalted one... While the names may sound similar, the levels and realms differ vastly! Can you understand? It is hardly possible!
Marshal Wen Qiong said: In the mortal realm, if one has not yet ascended to that particular level, is it difficult to transcend the hierarchy of that galaxy? Just as within the Earthly Star where human beings reside, there is a sun that shines upon it. Under the illumination of this sun, can any of humanity's aerial vessels ever reach it?
Even the most immense energy bodies, upon departing the Dark Star System and attempting to reach the solar system of the sun, are fundamentally incapable of arriving. The spacetime distance is far too vast, and long before even half the journey is completed, they would have already vanished without a trace. What would such human beings think of this? In truth, far too many star systems are exactly like this!
Similarly, take the lunar star system as an example: human beings think it is very easy to land on the moon. In reality, the temperature there is several hundred degrees below zero. Do they believe that by merely applying current technology to their energy bodies or energetic forms, they can directly travel to the lunar star system and settle there? If so, then it should be feasible in other star systems as well!
However, within the Yuchen star system, human beings may believe: as long as I have the capability, I can migrate to the Yuchen star system to reside. Yet they fail to realize that if one stays there for too long, when the transformation of all "quantum energy bodies" is not properly managed, human beings simply do not possess the kind of life that can endure there permanently!
Within the lunar and stellar systems and beyond, this is the great mystery of the cosmic heavens! In the current era of humanity, it is merely a matter of the Heavenly Father bestowing talents through "borrowed generals" for invention and creation. As for the possibility of truly transcending the earthly and stellar systems, is it achievable? Before even approaching such a feat, precious life has already faded away!
From this perspective, it is more realistic to consider the "transformation and relocation" of the spiritual essence. Otherwise, human beings, with a lifespan of merely a hundred years, would find it impossible to achieve "relocation and transformation elsewhere" without the foundation of a "biophysical body." Just think: is it truly possible? It is fundamentally impossible, for upon departure, it would vanish instantly!
Marshal Zhao Gongming said: It is natural for humanity to seek technological advancement! However, it is essential to distinguish and be vigilant of the warning: "With both the Way and virtue, one may become a Buddha; with the Way but without virtue, one becomes a demon." This is not a fantasy, but a true understanding: it is accumulated through the cultivation of virtue and hidden merits. Ordinary human beings, in general, merely believe and uphold these principles.
Moreover, it lies solely in the practice of a religion. If one truly cultivates and earnestly practices, one must also observe whether each individual is "attached and rigidly fixated." If one merely clings stubbornly to religious scriptures, it becomes exceedingly difficult to comprehend: how then can one grasp the great mysteries of heaven, earth, and the universe? Can merely believing in a religion alone enable one to soar through the skies or traverse the earth? That would be utterly laughable!
It is precisely because this kind of faith is merely a "single-minded devotion, a solitary path (Taiwanese pronunciation)," that one must question whether such a situation is too unworthy? Moreover, as a devout practitioner of faith, one remains unaware of the great mystery behind the operation of "the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth," which has long existed in the human world, accumulating over billions of years.
That is the concept of "naturalness and non-action." Let us consider: only in this way can one align with the universal principles of heaven and earth. It is precisely because one possesses this "energy body" within oneself that one can attain a greater "capacity body," enabling one to traverse the entire cosmos of galaxies. Otherwise, one would merely be relocating from Earth to another planet within the Di Ming Star system!
Is it difficult to soar among the cosmic galaxies? Just as humans today remain confined to the Earth-Moon system, merely changing their living space, is it relatively impossible to aspire to soar through the vast expanse of the universe? Moreover, because different cosmic galaxies possess varying levels of energy and substance.
It forms the living space for each entity. Does one's cultivation possess such a "quantum-energy body"? Nor would it be the case that upon departing from the various galactic systems, the "quantum-energy body" would immediately be destroyed by harmful cosmic radiation—that would be truly unworthy! Is this not so? Offered for everyone's consideration.
Marshal Zhao Gongming:
Departing from the myriad star systems of the universe,  
Each possesses distinct magnitudes and forms of energy.
Only when it is fully embodied can there be a true opportunity for the future.
Marshal Wen Qiong:
The practice of seeing one's true nature must be clear and bright,  
While hidden virtue and moral character mutually support each other.
Just as there is a true ascent upwards,  
Each celestial body aligns with the measure of its energy.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. It addresses whether humanity can possess such "hidden virtue and moral character" in full, and also distinguishes whether one can cultivate the driving force for future growth. This is absolutely true and has long been genuinely imparted into the human world. May everyone deeply contemplate its mysteries and cherish it wholeheartedly!
This marks the first growth in wisdom for humanity. Can you comprehend it? Thank you all for your efforts. Our two immortal teachers would also like to say to everyone: Thank you, and farewell!
## Heavenly Venerable of the Void's Literary Grace and Teachings
Wuji Zhongyi Wenheng Emperor,  
Seated in the Jingchan Temple, guarding the pivot of the realm.
The future of propagation relies on everyone,  
Let us unite and strive together.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the two celestial teachers from our lineage—Marshal Wen Qiong, the Heavenly Lord of Wuji Xiande, and Marshal Zhao Gongming, the Heavenly Official and Martial God of Wealth—have jointly descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family," analyzing the diverse cosmic star systems and their varying energies.
Let everyone understand: how to distinguish the various differences among the different entities of each galactic system! By carefully contemplating all these differences, one will gain a great power to support all departing energy entities when leaving the Earth-Ming galactic system in the future. This is the diversity inherent in the various entities of different cosmic galaxies!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Tomorrow evening, there will be a lecture by the Chan master, along with meditation practice to learn from the insights gained in the second session of "Illuminating the Mind, Seeing One's Nature, and Awakening to Realization." Let us come together to study and grow! This will certainly lead to wholesome progress and transcendence in the future!
##Li De Xian Gu (Virtuous Immortal Maiden)  
##Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa (Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva)
The Great Dao unites all, revealing heaven's secrets;  
Where human hearts hold affection, all find harmony.
Understanding the great mysteries of the universe,  
Energy and technology form the foundation of life.
The Sage Emperor of Truth's Teachings said: For humanity and all sentient beings to ascend and progress upward, it is essential to understand: How should one fully possess "quantitative energy technology"? It is not merely what is referred to in the human world as an energy body alone! In the current era, evolution has long necessitated the life of cosmic technology; one must not remain confined solely to the spatial realm of the Earthly Dark Star.
To aspire to a lifetime of upward growth and elevation is not merely a matter of personal will; one must understand what conditions are necessary for the "energy body" and "quantitative energy body" in the human world! Human beings often believe that this energy body is exceptionally sublime!
However, it is little known that human beings have long been situated in a place that is both dualistic and profoundly contradictory, and they have yet to understand how to fully attain the "energy body." For instance, if we consider the methane present on Titan II, human beings simply cannot survive in such an environment. Yet, this very methane serves as the fuel that can ignite light for humanity.
This condition, however, varies with the existence of different life forms. If one fundamentally fails to grasp the core issues within all human thoughts and concepts, how can one provide a direction for the survival of all living beings? Nor can one imagine this: that methane could exist within the energy bodies of different galaxies! Can such causal conditions ever be truly understood?
For contemporary scientists, this remains a mystery, existing within their own thoughts; thus, humanity fundamentally cannot comprehend: the ultimate limits of all things, as well as how sentient beings can exist across different star systems, and how their survival orientations are determined.
The Sage Emperor of Truth Guidance said: All thoughts and concepts in the human world are not merely straightforward paths; indeed, there should also be: sideways movement, horizontal movement, backward movement, and reverse movement. As for the various fundamental substances existing within different galactic systems, take the Moon and Stars as an example—this makes it easier for everyone to understand, as it is relatively similar to the space of the Underworld Star.
However, few realize that if we were to adapt the human body to align with the cycles of the moon and stars, what would become of us? Would we not become colder than ice popsicles, perhaps even surpassing the functional limits of the human body? Such conditions would be colder than the icy peaks of the North and South Poles of the Diming Star System. Thus, all human life is suited only for the realm of the human world.
It is fundamentally impossible to comprehend: how immense the energy of various galactic systems truly is! Consider, for instance, methane or the ice of the moon, combined with the radiation from the sun—can anyone truly grasp how these three interact? It is profoundly difficult to fathom, utterly beyond understanding! It is essential for the human body to evolve into a more enduring "life form" over a longer span of time.
To elaborate further: If using human aircraft to reach the realm of the solar system, would it be possible? It is fundamentally impossible! Long before arrival, human life would have already perished. Even with more advanced aircraft, humanity simply cannot possess a lifespan long enough for such a journey.
Is it that, before life can even extend to its full length, it has already vanished? If so, can humanity truly explore the sun, the stars, and other galaxies? It is not so easy! It is essential to understand: all living beings among humanity cannot fully possess a long-lasting life in its entirety. Therefore, there arises the necessity for the desire to evolve life!
This capacity for discernment pertains to how life should evolve: whether into biochemical or semi-biochemical life forms! Without attaining the state of biochemical life or semi-biochemical life forms, humanity's desire to reach other celestial bodies would remain nothing more than wishful thinking, and it would be impossible to comprehend: how exactly do all human life forms and physical bodies come to be?
The Sage Emperor of Truth Guidance said: In the human world, does the longevity of all living beings relate to the future of humanity and all sentient beings? And what of all technological civilizations! If human lifespan is merely a hundred years, then to evolve, it is necessary to possess a biochemical life form, or to be equipped with a semi-biochemical life form.
The lifespan of human beings, at present, is limited to a mere century-long physical body, fundamentally incapable of attaining a more enduring life form. It can be discerned that in the 21st century, human longevity will exist within biochemical life forms and semi-biochemical life forms. How then can one discern: that one's own lifespan possesses a relatively long-lasting fulfillment!
Otherwise, they would merely be ordinary humans, subject to the limitations of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering. How, then, can sentient beings overcome such constraints and obstacles? This is profoundly difficult to comprehend! Moreover, since life spans only a hundred years, there is simply no possibility of an enduring existence.
Thus, this form of life is subject to many limitations and cannot achieve long-term fulfillment; it merely exists within the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering. Moreover, human beings fundamentally fail to comprehend how they themselves should evolve into a virtuous, fully biological life form, as well as the nature of semi-biological life forms that exist.
If one wishes to observe other celestial bodies, it is even more difficult than ascending to the heavens. Yet today, the feat of ascending to the heavens has already been achieved. Humanity has long been confined to gazing at the sky, fundamentally unable to truly understand: where does the Lord of Heaven reside? Is such a question nothing more than a fantasy? Nor can we see, O Lord of Heaven, where You dwell?
The Sage Emperor of Truth's Teachings said: If humanity cannot discern the methane and the immense frozen radiant energy of the Daystar, the Moonstar, and Titan II, then it will be unable to truly glimpse other celestial bodies. Consequently, it will be confined to dwelling beneath a protective shield. Yet, what will become of humanity should that shield ever be breached?
How is it that a form cannot protect all living beings within it? This very condition necessitates a transformation of life to truly understand: for human life, evolution and elevation are essential, not merely survival in the human world! Given such circumstances and conditions, it is even more impossible to possess a long-lasting physical body.
Thus, there will be: birth, aging, sickness, death, and suffering—all kinds of hardships imposed upon the bodies of sentient beings. Such human existence is by no means a favorable opportunity. It is essential to understand: why is it necessary to attain the capacity to depart from the terrestrial underworld star system, and how can it be fully achieved? It is precisely through "transforming this land into another, and transforming another land into this one" that it is accomplished!
If we speak of "relocating to other realms for transformation," it refers to the evolution of life forms through the physical body, meaning biochemical life forms existing across different star systems. If we speak of "transforming to relocate to other realms," it denotes a spiritual form of existence within different star systems. Humanity lacks such concepts and is unable to comprehend how this might be achieved.
In contrast, for the existence of biochemical life forms or semi-biochemical life forms, it is necessary for humanity to understand: regarding the two types of entities—"transforming other lands" and "relocating lands for transformation"—this allows for discerning how the "energy bodies" depart from the Earth-Ming star system!
It remains for future scientists to verify everything stated here as it truly is, for the revered teachers and enlightened beings of the Chongxin lineage absolutely do not speak falsehoods! It should also be understood that today's technological civilization is merely at its beginning; there remains much to be comprehended layer by layer, so that all sentient beings may truly benefit, ascending, elevating, and transcending.
The Sacred Emperor of Truth and Enlightenment.
Once spoke of cars in motion, now they are about to be produced.
After several years, it became ready for mass production,  
and the results were reported by the media.
Truth-Guiding Sage Emperor:
Since ancient times in the human world, there has been but one wisdom born of folly.
Hold fast to the messages of the past, for the cosmic energy resides herein.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings in the human world as mutual encouragement: regarding the "quantitative body" and "energy body" of all people in this world, can we truly discern them? As for how to approach the technological civilization of today, the analyses and teachings given by the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage fifteen years ago have now, one by one, manifested before us.
Do you understand: this ancient mystery can only be revealed through the Chongxin lineage. Can you all comprehend? In the future, it will be manifested one by one! Thank you all for your hard work. Our two teachers also wish to say: thank you for accompanying us in this endeavor. Farewell!
##The Great Emperor of Lamp-Light Radiance, Immortal Elder Jiang Taigong Ziya
The Infinite Wisdom Contemplating the Sound of the World,  
Together gathers with the revered deities and beings of the Heart.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Together we gather to welcome blessings.
Holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and all cultivating scholars, good evening! Today, two teachers from our lineage—the Wuji Truth Salvation Holy Emperor and the Wuji Truth Education Holy Emperor—have descended to compose the twenty-third chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." Together with everyone, they will explore the topics of energy technology and the evolution of life, discussing how we can advance and elevate ourselves in the future!
This is about: "Biological life and semi-biological life." If life forms exist with long-term completeness, while humans only have a lifespan of a hundred years, how can they evolve into longer-lasting life forms? For the human life form, there will be many afflictions—birth, aging, sickness, and death—entangled within the body. What can one do about it?
## Living Buddha Jigong of the Void
The karma of Wuji is profound and deep,  
Maitreya and Amitabha form its framework.
The Great Dao unites all under heaven,  
Across the cosmos, its workings span the celestial horizon.
Maitreya Buddha said: Sentient beings in the human realm ascend and transcend by relying on a distinction in "realization and enlightenment." This condition of cause and effect serves as a driving force for their upward growth. Thus arises the necessity to transform these "energy entities" into "quantifiable capacities" to achieve fulfillment.
What humanity can comprehend is: if one wishes to transcend the Earthly Dark Star System, how should one ascend further? It can be said that human beings fundamentally lack such a concept, and even in the scriptures of the present era, it is never mentioned. This has thus formed a kind of limitation and obstacle that is exceedingly difficult to dissolve!
Human beings thus face the question: regarding the upward-lifting transcendent driving force upon which all cosmic galaxies depend, can it be fully realized in the present moment? This requires the possession of virtuous and benevolent character to achieve. Without such virtuous character, one merely attains a superficial understanding of the qualifications for attaining fruition.
Yet, it is precisely the lack of support from a diploma that may lead to transcendence across the cosmic galaxies! Human beings rely on such conditions and circumstances, and in matters of religious faith, they are merely passing travelers. It is fundamentally difficult for them to comprehend: how should one navigate through all the affairs of the human world?
Amitabha Buddha said: Often, without such a concept, how can one ascend and grow? Thus, having transcended the Earthly Underworld Star System, how can one transform the "energy body" into a "capacity body"? This is the first time in human religious writings that such knowledge and concepts of ascending growth and transcendence have been analyzed.
It also lies in the fact that contemporary scientists fundamentally cannot comprehend how the causal body operates! This inevitably leads human beings to believe that escaping the Earth and the underworld star must rely on high-speed vehicles for navigation, yet they remain unaware that over the past hundreds of millions of years, such ignorance in the human world could have been fully resolved through advanced technology.
Furthermore, to all the immortals, Buddhas, and holy deities who have already attained fruition, if they can smoothly depart from their respective stellar systems, it would lead to humanity surviving only within the Earthly Nether Stellar System! This makes it impossible to discern: how do these "energy bodies" transform into "quantum energy bodies"? The technologies of the various celestial bodies throughout the cosmos are often beyond human comprehension!
Human beings only understand that breathing is essential for life, but on other celestial bodies, breathing may not be necessary. Consequently, the civilizations that exist on different planets are fundamentally beyond the comprehension of human knowledge and concepts. Indeed, the technological civilization of our human world is still in its infancy.
Regarding this concept, how does it apply to the solar system? Everyone can understand: within the solar system, there are fundamentally no living beings residing anywhere. However, if there were someone capable of withstanding the billions of degrees of heat energy in the solar system, may I ask: what would such a planet, inhabited by all living beings, be like?
Can it be discerned? The very thought does not even arise! For this reason, within the great cosmic galaxies, the various "energy entities" that are endowed with existence are not limited to the cellular forms discerned by humans alone. Moreover, human beings only know of the reproductive function of dual-cell division, making it exceedingly difficult for them to develop new ideas and concepts that would enable upward growth and transcendence.
The formation of human beings and all sentient life is merely the result of the reproductive function of dual-cell organisms. Yet, it remains unclear that among all cellular entities, distinctions exist: single-cell, dual-cell, triple-cell, quadruple-cell, multi-cell, and aggregate cells. With such a vast array of cellular forms, can they truly be comprehended? It seems highly improbable!
Maitreya Buddha said: The sum total of all cells in the universe and galaxies is a concept fundamentally beyond the comprehension of human beings. To comprehend this from the entirety of the universe and galaxies, one may consider: within the Five Elements of the Central Land, what is the nature of the energy bodies of each individual planet? That is to say, how do the Five Elements of each planet combine together?
It will inevitably form within the Five Elements: triple Metal, triple Wood, triple Water, triple Fire, and triple Earth. How can these Five Elements be recombined to become different energetic entities, such as Metal-Wood-Water-Fire-Earth or Earth-Fire-Water-Wood-Metal? This approach allows for distinguishing: the galaxies within the current Milky Way system, which are composed of different energetic entities.
Furthermore, regarding the question of how all celestial bodies in star systems that have drifted far away from the solar system in time and space can survive—this is indeed possible! This concept, unprecedented in the world, is only now being analyzed within the human realm. It can be understood through the Earthly Nether Star System, which is composed of earth, wood, and water.
The spatial realm of Earth, formed by these three fundamental elements, also incorporates parts of metal and fire in its composition, giving rise to a celestial body known as Dimingxing. For it to sustain life, respiratory processes are essential, which in turn rely on the combination of earth, wood, and water. In comparison, does this bear closer resemblance to other planetary bodies within the Richen star system?
In fact, most celestial bodies within solar systems are similar in this regard. However, if one moves too far away from a solar system, the combination of earth, wood, and water may transform into other forms of energy. From the perspective of other star systems, there are many planetary bodies where life can exist without the need for respiration.
This concept of the human world cannot be verified through the thoughts and beliefs of humanity. It is precisely because each celestial body possesses its own unique energy that, in relation to different celestial bodies, there exists an even more transcendent form of energy. Thus, humanity exists merely as a minuscule celestial body within the vast expanse of the universe.
If we were to make a comparison with the Ziwei Star System, the difference in scale would span over a millionfold! From the perspective of humanity in the Earth's star system: the Earth's star system is already vast, yet when compared to the Ziwei Star System, human beings are essentially akin to a mere ant! How then should we comprehend such cosmic celestial bodies?
Amitabha Buddha said: If the Ziwei galaxy is but one in a million compared to the entire cosmic galaxy system, then you can all understand: how vast and expansive is the space of the entire universe! The Earth's galaxy in the human world has also formed the "quantitative and energetic capacities" created by different galactic systems, making it complete.
Regarding the Five Elements, how are the various "substance-energy bodies and energy bodies" distinguished? Do people hold such concepts? They fundamentally do not exist! Moreover, in the future, what kind of substance-energy bodies will humanity possess to soar and wander freely through the vast spaces of galaxies and star systems? All knowledge and concepts within the human world are thus insufficient.
Even scientists today cannot fully comprehend the entirety of the universe. Yet in the human world, people continue to vie and contend with one another, merely engaging in distinctions of right and wrong, correct and incorrect! The immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage have always admonished everyone: in the human world, do not compare, do not quarrel—simply discipline yourself.
Do not contend with the mundane world for trivial gains; instead, strive to compete with the cosmic galaxies for eternity! This concept has been repeatedly emphasized to everyone over the past few years—do you still remember it? It is about instilling a foundational mindset in advance, so that in the future, one may attain authenticity and soar freely across any realm of the cosmic heavens!
This notion might lead one to think that the celestial and Buddhist teachers are boasting—but is that truly the case? Imagine if one day you actually met such conditions—how would you feel then? It seems almost too daunting to contemplate! Moreover, given the extraordinary circumstances required, such a future feels so distant that it appears to be nothing more than a fanciful tale.
If you were to enter into this state, how would you describe it? I fear that when you recall the present moment, what would you feel? Perhaps you would be too afraid to feel anything at all, is that not so? Thus, in the human world, can the mysteries of the cosmic galaxies be used to grow, elevate, and transcend the present? Not necessarily!
Therefore, all that the revered Immortals and Buddhas have spoken will surely come to pass one by one in the future. This will enable everyone to genuinely elevate and transcend, meaning that each and every one has the opportunity—indeed, each and every one can ascend and surpass. It is merely a matter of whether one chooses to or not. Do you believe this? No one dared to affirm it; only Deputy Director Gan Yao whispered softly, "I believe," while the others lacked confidence.
Amitabha Buddha:
Alas, the vast cosmos of stars and galaxies remains scarcely understood by humankind.
Vast planets can be surpassed—  
it all depends on whether there is interest.
Maitreya Buddha:
The Great Dao's family authors the celestial scriptures,  
All beings with sentiment in the mortal realm may be cared for.
The vast transformation extends to the boundless heavens,  
Where the cosmic constellations are truly extraordinary.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it is also offered to all virtuous students of the Chongxin lineage and the Great Tao Academy for mutual inspiration. If this concept is genuinely transmitted and realized, then we shall observe whether everyone has the faith to grow and elevate in the future! Thank you all for accompanying us in this work. Our two immortal teachers also wish to say to everyone: Farewell!
## Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue, and the Realms of Humans and Heaven
The Sacred Emperor Guan, Loyal and Righteous of the Infinite Realm,  
Establishes His Seat at the Southern Pure Chan Monastery.
Extending the invitation to four hundred million,  
Original souls return in mutual accord.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the two sacred teachers of our lineage—Wuji Maitreya Buddha and Wuji Amitabha Buddha—have descended to compose the twenty-fourth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." They have elucidated a portion of the cosmic star systems and energy technologies within the heavenly scriptures, which will enable sentient beings to discern and understand.
Within the different five elements, there is an intermingling of all: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Then, earth, fire, water, wood, and metal, as distinct energy entities, form various galactic energy systems. This gives rise to individual galaxies, but can they survive? This is why human beings must breathe, thereby generating the carbon dioxide that constitutes the entirety of Earth, allowing them to breathe in the air.
If one were to leave this Milky Way galaxy, there would be countless species that could survive without even needing to breathe; can everyone comprehend the mysteries within this? It all depends on each individual's karma and choices! Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will continue to strive and learn together! Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Void Merit Bright King
Namo Buddha of Boundless Blessings and Virtue, the Great Way unites all families for a thousand autumns.
Transcending the galaxies of the cosmos,  
The Great Dao Heart Sutra brings about fulfillment.
The Chapter of the Great Dao, Heaven, and Earth (Part One): 01.
In the human world, the sentient beings of the vast cosmos serve as the foundational condition, while humanity itself becomes the ultimate reliance, generating the driving force for all upward growth and elevation within the mortal realm. Such causal conditions are, for the sentient beings of the cosmos, a profoundly essential necessity for growth, and they also illuminate the path for how the human world may ascend and progress.
Therefore, with the vast universe and earth as the foundation, how can humanity and all sentient beings grow and transcend? Such conditions must be guided by the human world to advance toward broader horizons. Through these exceptional conditions, it is essential for all sentient beings to genuinely elevate themselves. This is based on humanity and all sentient beings as the foundation, fostering genuine growth.
Thus it is: to dissolve the obstacles that could not be distinguished in the past! This condition of cause and circumstance is based on heaven and earth as the reference point, advancing toward a more distant space, and also genuinely elevating humanity and all living beings upward. In the human world, the way to dissolve the ignorance of the past for sentient beings is to genuinely combine "mind-nature and spiritual nature" as one—this is the true path!
The Great Dao, Heaven and Earth Chapter (Part Two): 02.
The true meaning of the rotation of heaven and earth is anchored in all living beings of the human world; for the sentient world to rely upon and sustain, how should one respond to the nurturing growth of heaven and earth? Humanity must take the cycles of heaven and earth as its guide! In such a human world, how then can the true meaning of the rotation of heaven and earth be discerned, and how should humanity’s entry into religion be elevated and advanced!
Do not confine yourself with religious beliefs, as this may prevent you from truly understanding the genuine meaning! Moreover, all worldly scriptures are not matters of right or wrong, good or bad; such distinctions arise from the misplacement of time, space, and circumstances. Therefore, the question is whether religious scriptures can lead to greater elevation?
Furthermore, the driving force behind one's own actions and deeds, these causes and conditions, must be observed: in the human world, all that relies on religious faith is the true nature of reality. This is because, within all the teachings and practices of religion, how does one grow? How does one elevate? How does one advance? How does one benefit? How does one transcend? Only this is the true path!
It is precisely because of the immersion in the scriptures of all religions that one learns how to strive for oneself and transcend alongside heaven and earth for eternity! This is the key to breaking through all the dilemmas of the human world. It is not confined to the limitations and obstacles of religion, nor is it solely for those who remain steadfast in their religious faith. Moreover, such conditions and causes only allow one to return to the human world in the next life, continuing to uphold and protect their faith.
The Great Dao's Primordial Chapter (Part One): 03.
The Great Dao is the original essence of the primordial state. How can one rely on this primordial source as a foundation? Ordinary human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend: what, then, is the basis of this primordial state? In the human world, it is through "person-to-person" relationships, relying on all past causes, conditions, and karmic retributions as support. This, within the human realm, constitutes the mutual dependence on causes, conditions, and effects.
Talent lies in the ability to discern all questions of right and wrong, good and evil. Can humanity perceive that all such matters are but fleeting clouds? Once this moment passes, the next brings the transformation of time and space, serving only to nourish life. Thus, can humankind see through the karmic retribution between individuals?
It will thus be very true to reality, allowing all past causes and effects to be completely resolved and transformed into the supportive nature of growth. Can humanity’s conflicts, rights and wrongs, and judgments of correctness be brought to completion? In truth, it all lies within one’s own state of mind—it is merely a process. And what of the specific points of contention? Only by accomplishing all these willingly can one attain true authenticity.
This is also because: by willingly returning all the OX, rights and wrongs, and judgments of the human world, and doing so with a willing heart, one can avoid being trapped in the cycle of mutual incompleteness due to a lack of restitution. This is what the human world relies upon in the cyclical order of heaven and earth, and it is also because of the primordial intent that guides the dependency of cause, condition, and effect.
Only then will the entire cosmic galaxy and the heavens and earth of the human world be extended, initiating the return of karmic causes and effects. For the wise, this can be fully resolved in accordance with reality; for the mediocre, it serves as a means of repayment; for those who are neither mindful nor willing, it will only deepen the cycle of karmic repayment. Moreover, since primordial times, all accumulated grievances and debts have become far too numerous!
The Chapter on the Great Dao as Reality: 04.
The Great Dao takes the unfolding of heaven and earth as its foundation, grounded in reality and manifested through all phenomena arising in the present moment. Indeed, every moment in time and space unfolds in this way. For all beings in the human realm, it can be understood that this reality, rooted in the present, can be truly relied upon—not merely an empty illusion.
This kind of behavior, where human beings consistently take charge of all their own actions, is precisely how one can, in the human world, advance toward a broader and more open-minded space! Indeed, human beings must cultivate a more expansive heart and mind to avoid being confined to the struggles between you and me. Moreover, it involves bringing all the karmic causes and effects from past lives into the present moment.
It is precisely by entering the human world under such karmic conditions that one can truly repay the accumulated karma of past lives, and there will indeed come a day when it is fully resolved. This is because human beings, with a sincere and earnest mindset, can genuinely and completely settle all the karmic debts from past lives within a single lifetime.
The True Buddha Chapter of the Great Dao: 05.
Human beings will then enter into religious faith, contemplating how to comprehend the operation of the great Dao as a whole. By turning toward one's own "true suchness" to establish the foundation of Buddha-nature, one can thus discern that every sentient being is a "true Buddha." This true Buddha exists within each individual's heart, and the true Buddha relies on oneself for support.
It also relies on the mutual resonance with the heavenly immortals, Buddhas, and sacred deities to invoke: how to manifest the "True Buddha" within me, so that "Buddha-nature" may be genuinely revealed! This applies to all sentient beings; and it is because of the reliance of the Great Dao's True Buddha on the mindset and perspectives of each individual.
It aligns with the workings of heaven and earth, and is guided by "thoughts and consciousness" in all coordinated actions. This means that every human being possesses the true Buddha of the Great Dao, relying on the manifestation of Buddha-nature, so as not to be guided by demonic nature.
Chapter of the Demonic Nature of the Great Dao: 06.
The Buddha said: All sentient beings possess Buddha-nature! This is an absolute truth, and it manifests in daily life. However, it is often overlooked that sentient beings also possess demon-nature! This equally manifests in the sustenance of daily existence—a truth just as absolute, yet for all human beings, it has always been sustained and revealed through a single inherent nature.
Thus, it can be said: it is precisely in response to this manifestation of demonic nature, and particularly within daily life, that this inherent nature emerges, revealing itself in the present moment through action. Moreover, since demonic nature constitutes the most fundamental foundation of human beings, the world often manifests in this way through the display of such nature. Consequently, it becomes difficult to ascend, grow, and transcend beyond it.
This situation is even more prevalent in the present day than in the past. Moreover, all human beings continuously draw upon demonic manifestations, relying on them to shape all matters and affairs. For such human beings who wish to ascend and progress, is there any difficulty? Truly, it is impossible to rise and transcend! They will instead remain trapped in the cycle of reincarnation within the human world.
The Great Path: Buddha and Demon Chapter: 07.
Can sentient beings discern the manifestation of Buddha-nature from the manifestation of demonic nature? This question has always been present in the here and now. As all sentient beings continuously engage with the realms of phenomena, causes and conditions, and sustenance, it is precisely due to such obstacles that this question arises: the instantaneous emergence of Buddha and demon!
Do sentient beings among humanity perceive such issues? It is exceedingly difficult! This is because an increasing number of human beings are in such a state. Moreover, the present era is clearly a world of endurance, yet it is also a time and space where "Buddhas and demons descend together." This holds true for all living beings across heaven and earth.
It is not only limited to humanity and all sentient beings, but even extends to all living creatures in the universe—how does this manifest in the issue of "the simultaneous descent of Buddha and demon"? To resolve and eliminate the manifestation of demonic nature within this context is to reveal the original intent of elevating Buddha-nature. Moreover, only by unifying "Heaven, Earth, and Humanity" into one can the true path be realized!
Chapter on the Unity of Heaven and Earth: 08.
Buddha and demon descend together in the present moment; human beings originally have no leisure. All such foundations are created, transforming and dissolving the mutual covenant between Buddha and demon. This is precisely based on the unity of heaven and earth, yet human beings are unable to discern its original meaning! It is essential to mutually transform the covenant between Buddha and demon, only then can there be a true alignment with the unity of "heaven, earth, and humanity" that is thereby achieved.
It also allows the energy of heaven and earth to enter one's own body, enabling the understanding that humanity is rooted in the "unity of heaven, earth, and man." At the same time, by harmoniously transforming the forces of Buddha and demon, the energy body of sentient beings can be cultivated, enabling it to genuinely accumulate and elevate numerous energy bodies. This brings even greater benefits to all sentient beings!
It depends on one's own state of mind! Can the original intent herein be discerned? Precisely because there is no longer the seed cause of Buddha or demon, all present energy bodies arise and merge into one's own intrinsic nature, which is to say, they are not confined by religious scriptures. Sentient beings have long been unable to discern this, often constrained by religious texts.
Only then does the nature of all Buddhas and demons arise within. If one has already completely transformed both these Buddhas and demons, how could there remain any nature of Buddhas or demons? When all are gone, one becomes fully endowed with the "energy body" within one's own nature. This will inevitably lead to one's own upward growth and transcendence—this is an absolutely true matter!
In this life, one follows a religion,  
All are heeding the call of Buddha or demon.
Unaware of where the constraints lie,  
The root of all has been dissolved and cleared.
Seeing the true nature directly in the present moment,  
The interplay of Buddha and demon is inherently seamless.
Comprehend the principles enacted by heaven and earth,  
And in this lifetime, one may return home.
This verse serves as a mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings. It also marks the point in the second volume of the *Sutra of the True Buddha Heart of the Ultimate Great Dao* where one truly enters the state of having neither Buddha-nature nor demon-nature! Only by understanding this can one recognize that human existence is constrained and hindered by religious scriptures. Can everyone comprehend this? Those who can are wise and may advance upward; those who cannot must strive further, breaking free from the limitations imposed by religion.
##The Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor Wén Héng
The Ancient Buddha of Boundless Blessings descends;  
The Deputy Seat of Chongxin, Mago, ascends.
Creating obstacles in the human world's religions,  
Limiting the transformation between Buddha and demon.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy. Today, the Vice-Chairperson of our lineage, Wuji Yuanjun, the Immortal Ma Gu, has descended to compose the first chapter of the second volume of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Sutra. This work aims to provide everyone with a genuine understanding of how to discern, within all religious beliefs in the human world, the original essence of the mutual transformation between Buddha and Mara.
This is the greatest point of confusion in the human world, one that cannot help ordinary human beings to fully resolve all karma and retribution. This has been the most incomprehensible issue for humanity since ancient times. Today, we can finally understand the nature of such karmic connections! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow! Keep striving hard, everyone. Farewell for now!
## Limitless Jade Pool Lingbao Immortal Youth
The True Sutra of the Great Way and the Buddha Heart is composed,  
To protect and accompany all sentient beings with affection.
Promote and expand across the universe,  
Revere the lineage of the heart, with virtue and care.
Chapter on the Conditions for Existence: 09.
When sentient beings enter the human world, numerous forms of ignorance arise. In relying on mutual support within this world, such conditions of cause and circumstance—how can they enable human beings, in whom ignorance manifests in the present moment, to ascend, elevate, and transcend? It is essential to comprehend with true understanding, amid all the challenges of existence.
How can one cultivate virtuous causes and conditions, and dissolve attachments to the orientation of survival? In the process of sustaining life, human beings often create many obstacles through ignorance, leading to attachments to existence that obscure understanding: how to develop a virtuous body of causes and conditions for oneself, to ascend, elevate, and transcend! Such causes and conditions give rise to virtuous growth.
It is essential to have the great virtue and grace of Heaven descend and transform within the human world, capable of dissolving the root causes of ignorance, and providing the essence of inherent causes that can be genuinely comprehended. Through such focal points, one may ascend and grow; this, in turn, allows existence to manifest in the present moment and can be applied through knowledge and experience. This is the process through which humanity and all beings may progress and mature.
Chapter on the Arising of Ignorance: 10.
Human beings, through this process of ignorance, can discern the problematic aspects of all worldly existence and understand how to apply present life for evolution! In this way, the process of evolution gradually resolves each problem, allowing every spatiotemporal cause and condition to ascend and grow, thereby enabling discernment in the present moment.
How should one advance through all processes of ignorance? It also lies in addressing the points of confusion: by understanding how these processes unfold, one can directly transform them. This facilitates the evolutionary journey of the nurturing body, while also revealing that the human world exists within ignorance—the primal cause. In this, there is no distinction between any sages, immortals, buddhas, bodhisattvas, or exalted beings of past times and spaces; they are all the same.
There exists a kind of ignorance before us, and the catalyst for this ignorance is the key point of the initial cause. This also distinguishes the varying levels of educational affinities, relying on mutual growth and elevation. At the same time, it allows ignorance to be discerned, enabling us to understand how to evolve in response to problematic points, so that we may grow, cultivate ourselves, gain clarity, and achieve thorough comprehension.
How does the entire process unfold? Without ignorance, there would be no knowledge or wisdom to cultivate and elevate. Therefore, in the human realm, it is a process of growth within the "realm of life transformation." Only through genuine resolution can "ignorance" manifest and transform into "enlightenment," enabling evolution. All previous "inherent clarity" is thus nurtured and elevated!
Chapter on Evolution in the Ming Dynasty: 11.
Enlightenment: It is rooted in "ignorance," a state common to all humans regardless of time, space, or conditions. It is precisely because of "ignorance" that one distinguishes and recognizes enlightenment. If one attains "enlightenment," all matters and chains of events can be evolved and elevated. The greatest pivotal condition within this lies in transforming enlightenment into the evolutionary direction for human existence in the world.
Thus, ignorance can be dissolved, for within clarity, one can discern and comprehend the inner processes of all issues, one by one! In this very process, humanity's "realm of life transformation" is elevated and transcended! Moreover, clarity itself is accumulated through experience, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.
This causal condition will also accumulate to be utilized by wisdom in the next instance. It is precisely because human beings lack the accumulation of wisdom that they first rely on the experience of knowledge and concepts, which then combine to form the knowledge and wisdom applicable in the next instance. Most human beings are like this, possessing only a survival-oriented disposition.
Chapter on Innate Primordial Brightness: 12.
Human beings seldom comprehend the origin of this innate source. If one can understand that, in relation to the karmic body of each lifetime, the evolution and elevation of each individual through repeated cycles of reincarnation across successive existences—this is precisely what each primordial entity creates and evolves as its original source. This original source is what every sentient human being can discern and comprehend.
In the process of nurturing life, the knowledge, concepts, and accumulated experiences from previous lifetimes can cultivate wisdom, which is then applied in the present moment. This, for sentient beings, gives rise to the innate clarity, where intrinsic awareness and the primordial spirit interact and complement each other. How can this innate clarity be skillfully integrated into intrinsic awareness to elevate the evolution of the primordial spirit?
Human beings fundamentally lack this concept, and in each lifetime, they merely cycle through changes of name and living space. They are entirely unable to comprehend how their innate original clarity can allow them to achieve true evolution, leading to greater growth, elevation, and transcendence! That is, it is up to oneself to choose.
If human beings are unable to comprehend that the innate clarity of mind originates from the wisdom applied since a very, very distant past, it then gives rise to the human ability to discern a phenomenon known as: "hearts linked as one, a single spark of understanding." This condition is possessed by most human beings, varying only in the extent of wisdom each individual applies.
Chapter on the Growth of the Mind: 13.
Capable of discernment: This "instant connection of minds" is by no means merely accumulated in this present lifetime. With regard to the growth of the mind, it is precisely the fundamental condition that human beings must possess. It also truthfully propels oneself toward broader spaces, forming the foundation for the evolution of humanity and elevating it to the essence of creation.
It also lies in how, throughout this lifetime, one can evolve into the innate original clarity and apply it, thereby truly understanding the skillful use of "the original spirit and the original awareness." This is precisely what allows one to realize: in this very life, one can genuinely evolve and achieve greater growth! Otherwise, it remains merely a matter of religious faith and practice.
It is exceedingly difficult to elevate one's innate clarity. True understanding arises only through the application of "innate spirit and innate awareness," which manifests as the transcendent state of "hearts linked as if by a single thread." This is the way for human beings. Only by further evolving their innate spirituality can they avoid being confined, lifetime after lifetime, by all the cycles of reincarnation in the human world.
In response to this limitation, if it becomes excessive, it will form a significant obstacle to the survival orientation of all human beings, diminishing one's original impetus for upward growth. At the same time, it will make it exceedingly difficult in this lifetime to achieve genuine upward growth and transcendence for the purpose of return.
Chapter on the Increase of Wisdom: 14.
Sentient beings of love have entered the current era of time and karma, no longer bound by the ideologies and concepts of the past. They have even evolved to transcend into higher cosmic galaxies, far beyond the mere age of space exploration. This transformation makes it fundamentally difficult for humanity to comprehend the entirety of the cosmic galaxy system.
Furthermore, can sentient beings among humanity discern that their original spirit descended from the cosmic constellations into the human world? It can be said that every human being is indeed so. However, parents can only give birth to the physical bodies of their children; they cannot comprehend the growth of the spirit. As for the reasons behind this evolution, how might they be understood?
Therefore, in the process of evolution, human beings can come to understand: I myself am but a transplant from an alien galaxy into the space of Earth and its star! This is only the physical body of humanity, yet there exists an innate spirituality, originating from the various celestial bodies of the cosmic expanse, descending into the human world to be refined and transformed anew.
Thus, is it difficult for humanity and all beings to reform and change anew? It is indeed exceedingly difficult! Consequently, it becomes impossible to discern how one's own wisdom should grow or how knowledge should be elevated. At this very moment, it is about evolving and enhancing the wisdom and knowledge of the cosmic galaxies, deeply embedding this pursuit within one's own mindset.
Moreover, only with the concept of cosmic and galactic evolution can one truly comprehend such an idea. Otherwise, remaining deeply entrenched in the human world, I ask everyone: if at this very moment we cannot even recognize that our spirituality was transplanted from extraterrestrial origins into this human realm, how then can we possibly understand how to return to our original homeland and pursue the evolution of various civilizations and technologies?
Chapter of Civilization and Technology: 15.
The innate spiritual nature evolves within the human realm, manifesting through various karmic forms to foster growth. If humanity fails to discern the present state of technology, which has already evolved to influence the survival orientation of every human being, then one may question whether the communication devices of this era truly represent greater progress for humanity compared to past times.
Thus, every human being in the future will fundamentally no longer need communication devices to discern: what is the current state of their own existential orientation? This past karma has continuously evolved and grown for the sake of humanity, ultimately giving rise to the present technological civilization, which exists to benefit all sentient beings.
At the same time, it also benefits the vast multitude of living beings, thereby allowing oneself to reap benefits in the present. Such revelations of heavenly secrets have long been bestowed upon the human world; moreover, each calamity befalling humanity has been foretold in advance within the celestial texts of the Dadao series. By drawing upon the civilization and technology of humankind, it warns that future technological advancements may spiral out of control.
How can one preemptively prevent it? Regarding all the divine blessings for humanity, they have been continuously bestowed upon the world to foster growth and benefit. Thus, can everyone perceive the great virtue and grace of Heaven? The celestial beings and Buddhas have descended from afar to compose and analyze, offering advance revelations concerning the welfare and calamities of humankind.
This is precisely why various celestial beings, Buddhas, sages, and deities descend to expound and analyze—to benefit all sentient beings, offering preemptive guidance and forewarnings. They emphasize the necessity of pioneering a civilization in future technology, which will shape all future blessings and calamities for humanity. Only by preparing in advance can we follow the right path.
The eternal celestial secrets descend to transform the mortal realm,  
Human connections and karma may be elevated and sublimated.
One must grasp its true meaning,  
Returning to words that transcend a thousand years.
The Chapter of the True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Great Dao  
Brings Benefit and Longevity to All Human Beings
Through millions of years of transcendence, the present moment can surely surpass the divine.
This verse is shared with all fellow human beings as mutual encouragement, and also offers sentient beings a means to gain early understanding: regarding how all future "enterprises" should be carried out, only those that bring greater benefit to humanity are the true path! Thank you all for your companionship and efforts in this work. Farewell for now!
## The Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens, Immortal Lady
The Bodhisattva of Wisdom and Virtue descends in grace;  
The lineage of Chongxin is truly fresh and profound.
Authored by the Great Way family,  
The True Buddha Heart Sutra welcomes blessings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Chairman of our lineage, the Heavenly Venerable of Virtual Space Wenze's Teachings, has descended to compose the second installment of the lower volume of the *Wuji Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sutra*. This will allow everyone to understand how future humanity can attain greater benefits!
In truth, everything lies in the fact that the celestial text of "Great Dao, One Family" has been composed, and at the same time, the Chongxin Sect lineage can be applied in the future—how to benefit oneself as well as all sentient beings of humanity! This, through the sacred decree of the Universal Mother, provides the Chongxin Sect lineage as an important foundation to be relied upon in the future!
If there are no other matters, tomorrow's sacred duty of using Zen insights to dispel confusion shall be entrusted to the abbot for this occasion. The Southern Pure Zen Monastery will officially open its hall the day after tomorrow. I believe all preparatory tasks have been completed. It is only through some of your selfless efforts that virtuous returns can gather, providing broader resources to benefit everyone.
A few days later, the "Chinese Confucian Association" will hold its national assembly in Kaohsiung City, where our sect is sure to participate and demonstrate. This is the result of everyone's hard work. The entire demonstration process can set a positive benchmark, benefiting all humanity and fostering virtuous growth and elevation. Keep up the good work, and we shall meet again!
##Wuji Yaochi Zhenbao Xiantong
The lanterns and torches illuminate heaven and earth,  
As the Grand Duke Jiang Ziya descends in auspicious splendor.
The Great Way family composes a precious scripture,  
The meaning of the Heart Sutra of the Limitless True Buddha.
Chapter on the Exposition of Emptiness: 16.
Sentient beings in the human world naturally seek refuge in religious faith, often encountering opportunities for elevation and transcendence. Through such experiences, human society ascends and grows. Viewed from the perspective of the Ultimate, this process further fosters greater evolution and upliftment for all humanity, providing a foundation for each individual to rely upon in their journey toward higher transcendence.
In the context of human beings embracing religious faith in the present era, most are only reliant upon the attainments of the "Wuji" (the Limitless). It is exceedingly difficult to evolve toward a more sublime transcendence through the "Xukong" (the Void). While Wuji is what is utilized today, Xukong represents the terminology of the past, through which one may comprehend the causal origins of all achievements within the vast cosmos.
Thus, the term "Great Cosmos" is used to denote the present era. This past causality differs from the discourses of the current generation, leading to the understanding that the origin of the causality of emptiness arises from that which transcends even the Wuji (the Limitless). Such causal conditions are rooted in the evolution of all names and forms within the Wuji, and are practiced in the human world through names and forms that benefit all sentient beings.
Regarding the evolution of the Wuji (the Ultimate Nothingness) and all the deductive processes within the void, it is fundamentally impossible for human beings to comprehend. How extraordinary is this kind of profound cause and condition! For humanity in the present era, it is already sufficient to draw upon the concept of the Wuji. As for resolving specific issues, there is no need to further invoke the deductive processes of the void for guidance.
Chapter on the Elaboration of Virtue and Grace: 17.
Void: This term is named after the present era. In the human world, we can only perceive the entire cosmic galaxy, which is itself an immensely vast stellar system. Consequently, it cannot be referenced by contemporary technological civilization. Attempting to verify and clarify the entirety of the cosmic galaxy would require all of humanity's scientific instruments, yet the current era is merely at its very beginning!
The conceptual understanding of humanity, if not given room for further advancement, will become reliant solely on past modes of thought for guidance. To achieve a more transcendent realm of thinking, it must first be validated by science and technology before being disseminated through all media channels to the world. Such dissemination requires a prolonged period of time and favorable conditions to spread widely.
It will facilitate the descent of the entire cosmic galaxy into the human world, targeting humanity to evolve a more authentic future of civilization and technology. Simultaneously, many disasters will manifest in the human world. On one side lies civilization, and on the other, disaster—this duality will forever define the planet Earth.
Chapter on the Evolution of Technology: 18.
Do human beings truly see clearly what all the limitations and obstacles in the human world are? How is it that understanding the underlying causes of these matters is so exceedingly difficult? It is precisely due to these conditions and circumstances that the living space we inhabit seems so helplessly constrained! As humanity must evolve toward greater civilization and technology, it simultaneously gives rise to even greater limitations and obstacles.
This limitation and obstruction, whether it can be distinguished within the spatial realm of the Earth and the Underworld, essentially represents a dynamic of mutual gain and loss. Relatively speaking, when one side gains, the other inevitably loses, much like all existence within the spatial realm of the Earth and the Underworld. The survival orientations of the northern and southern hemispheres are analogous to those of the inhabitants of the Earth and the Underworld.
However, it lies in the issue of time and space, transforming into a solar system. The space illuminated by the Earth and the Underworld Star becomes one side of light and the other side of darkness. From the perspective of the human world: the light is directly irradiated by the solar system, while the darkness on the other side is not illuminated by the solar system.
Humanity will harness electricity to bring forth light that universally dispels darkness, thereby benefiting all aspects of human existence. Through the power of electricity, light will illuminate the darkness, enabling humanity to utilize this radiance to overcome all mutual limitations and obstacles in the world.
Chapter on the Classification of Sciences: 19.
The formation of scientific and technological civilization has placed humanity in a state of constant mutual transformation. Unlike the agricultural societies of the past, where life revolved around the rhythm of sunrise and sunset, the present era is no longer bound by such limitations. By harnessing the power of technological civilization, humanity has continuously refined and transformed past inadequacies, all while emerging into the illumination of enlightenment.
Thus, technological civilization has refined the ways in which human beings live and work by addressing all past deficiencies and shortcomings. It can be observed that in the present era, one-third of humanity relies on the night for their livelihood, leading to an increasingly widespread lifestyle of reversed day-night rhythms among people.
This technological civilization has integrated all aspects of human life—clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment—into diverse means of sustenance. Simultaneously, it has transformed the millennia-old rhythm of "departing at dawn and returning at dusk," a way of life no longer prevalent in the modern era, thereby altering the daily routines of human existence.
For instance, the current writing of the Celestial Books within the Chongxin Lineage is also carried out at night. Without the illumination of light, how could there be an opportunity for such virtuous and luminous work? This extraordinary condition of affinity is precisely brought about by the electric light of today! All advancements in civilization and technology in the human world manifest in the present moment, elevating all aspects of human civilization.
Chapter on Technology and the Internet: 20.
Not only does it benefit the survival orientation of human beings, but it also reduces the barriers between people. At the same time, it allows for quicker understanding of others' needs. Through the internet, it alleviates the time and effort spent on travel between individuals and shortens the mental exertion of people.
Yet it has already undermined all the friendly sentiments among people, turning everything into the dissemination of electronic and visual communications. At the same time, it has estranged the pure and simple mindset of human kindness, allowing profit to corrupt the body, mind, and spirit, and obliterating all virtuous and amicable emotions in the world. Truly, there is no recourse!
Why is it that human beings in the earthly realm are as they are? It is a matter of half gain and half loss! If humanity could understand this principle of mutual interaction, they would be able to reclaim their hearts, allowing themselves to fully embody the conscience of heavenly principles. Only then would they avoid allowing the advancement of technological civilization and the internet to lead to the corruption of the human heart and the obscuring of the heavenly heart. This is a cautionary warning from the heavens, meant to serve as a mirror for reflection!
Chapter on the Virtuous Use of the Internet: 21.
The internet: it is a boundless medium of dissemination that, with regard to all the obscurities and obstacles in the human world, can be said to resolve and eliminate the overall inadequacies and deficiencies. Through contemporary technological civilization, humanity benefits itself while also bringing benefits to all of humankind.
This process, facilitated through the internet—taking the "global village" as its unit—enables humanity and all sentient beings to evolve. By integrating with the network, numerous favorable conditions and causes are cultivated, which will undoubtedly benefit one's own growth and gains. Such is the guidance bestowed by the Heavenly Realm for the benefit of all humanity and sentient beings.
The ignorance and limitations of the past can be dissolved simultaneously, while the dissemination of the future will largely be interconnected through the internet, spreading all events occurring in the present moment as well. For humanity, this brings both beneficial gains and harmful influences, which can erode the kindness and purity of the human heart.
How, then, is this to be explained? It lies in the fact that all half-formed karmic entities within the Earthly Nether Star System rely on attachment! Whether human beings can truly comprehend this depends on whether they can overcome all the limitations and obstacles inherent in such constraints—a realization that is profoundly difficult to attain! While sentient beings may evolve and achieve greater growth and benefits, this very process can also lead to losses in other aspects.
Chapter on Limitations and Obstacles: 22.
This leads to the necessity of prevention, and also the need to possess such an awareness, so as to avoid a situation where one side gains while the other loses—a scenario that can indeed be preempted! It is essential to first cultivate this awareness, which then fosters psychological barriers between gain and loss. One must see clearly that the human world is fundamentally one of mutual interdependence!
Thus, it becomes impossible to discern how the divine providence for the present multitude of humanity can further ascend, elevate, and transcend. It is essential to prevent in advance with truth and reality, so that a virtuous causal body may be formed, enabling one to rely upon and uphold this already endowed blessing! This is precisely because, with regard to the space of the Earthly Obscurity Star, it is so—without distinguishing between gain and loss.
There will then be a relatively extended time and space with the conditions to fully enjoy; otherwise, human beings are precisely unable to have long-term benefits that can be fully enjoyed. This, therefore, creates for human beings the opportunity to fully possess all blessings over a comparatively long period of time and space, which is precisely what is accomplished for sentient human beings.
It is precisely because of foresight that one can anticipate the future, allowing for preparation in advance to achieve success. This accomplishment is attained by aligning with all survival orientations in the human world, thereby dissolving all limitations and obstacles! It transforms the impossible into the possible. Humanity thrives and ascends through such virtuous and extraordinary causes and conditions.
Technology and civilization create all things,  
Human affection can be cherished in all beings.
Gain and loss, both are fitting; see through them and you'll be free from attachments.
There are countless types of people in the world,  
Yet few truly understand this truth.
Gain and loss shift in an instant,  
Returning again and again, a thousand times over.
This verse is shared among all human beings as mutual encouragement. It aims to make humanity understand: the Earthly Nether Star System is a realm of gains and losses, constrained by mutual limitations and obstacles! Human beings can only prolong the fulfillment of their blessings. Once this time and space passes, everything returns to the cosmos. Who, then, can possess lasting blessings? It is far too difficult! Thank you all for accompanying me in this work today. Farewell, and thank you!
##Namo Ancient Dipamkara Buddha
The Fruition of Emptiness and Dependent Arising  
Jigong's Ultimate Vocation: Benefiting All Beings
The Living Buddha observes the people of the world—all are lost, unaware of the path back.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the True Second Presiding Master of our lineage, the Great Emperor of Illuminating Light, Immortal Elder Jiang Taigong Ziya, has descended to compose the twenty-seventh chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family": The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Wuji Great Dao (Part Three), offering everyone a broader understanding of the limitations inherent in all existence.
The mortal world is a space of half-light and half-darkness, filled with limitations and obstacles. How, then, can all human beings grow upward, transcend, and elevate themselves? One must understand this: the blessings one possesses should be nurtured and sustained over the long term. Otherwise, they may vanish in an instant, leaving no opportunity for good causes and conditions to foster growth.
It is essential to truly understand and grasp the underlying reasons and circumstances. Only then can it become the driving force for upward growth! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. The consecration ceremony for the Kaohsiung Branch—Fuhui Jingchan Temple—has been completed. Thank you all for your diligent support. Thank you, and farewell!
##Wuji Yaochi Xiqiong Immortal Maiden
The Dao's transmission traverses realms both real and void,  
Turning impartially through the mortal world, devoid of bias.
Superior virtue arises from human deeds,  
Human teachings enrich blessings and grace.
Chapter of the Heart's Devotion: 23.
The Sect of Revered Heart: Within the mysteries of heaven, earth, and the cosmos, those endowed with unique favor possess innate karmic conditions, which descend to the human realm for practice. Such karmic conditions, directed toward the Sect of Revered Heart and all sentient beings, are exceedingly rare! Moreover, throughout the ages, such sublime karmic embodiments have never before descended to be transmitted.
Thus, in this human world, there is the possibility to enlighten all sentient beings. Within their inherent missions bestowed by heaven, they can receive the divine grace descending upon the mortal realm, allowing for renewal and transformation. This is driven by the original impetus of faith in religious scriptures, which repairs the deficiencies and shortcomings of past teachings, and is sustained through the practice under such extraordinary conditions of karmic affinity.
It is precisely for the sake of humanity and all sentient beings that there can be a corresponding and truthful growth and elevation. This unique affinity of the Chongxin lineage has evolved from the "Investiture of the Gods" into the technological civilization of the "Chongxin Evolution," bringing benefit to all. It has also enabled four hundred million disciples of the Buddha and the ninety-two original spirit beings to return to a more truthful path of growth and transcendence.
Moreover, storing this extraordinary affinity in cloud technology will preserve it for over a millennium. For future generations of humanity, it will manifest as a progression toward more advanced technological civilization—driven by the upward growth of goodness. This will provide sentient human beings with immense blessings and a foundation for well-being. It benefits both oneself and all sentient beings.
Chapter on the Great Way's Radiance: 24.
The Great Dao: It takes the natural non-action of heaven and earth as its foundation, enabling all sentient beings to progress toward truer elevation. This forms a conduit for the vast and profound grace of the Supreme Heaven to descend upon the human world. Through the light of Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara, it is transmitted into the human realm, inheriting the luminous energy of the Southern Bing-Ding Fire under the celestial authority of the Great Heavenly Lord Haotian Jade Emperor.
At the same time, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, as well as the Great Emperor of Illuminating Light, the Immortal Elder Jiang Taigong Ziya, were manifested within the "Chongxin Evolution." This also includes the transmission to the human world by the Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light (Namo Liuli Guang Rulai) and the Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Mind (Namo Lixin Liuli Rulai). There are many such karmic connections, all belonging to the series of the Southern Fire Element (Bing Ding Huo).
The formation of the Earth-Ming star system represents yet another necessity for the illumination of light! It also creates within the human world a perpetual hope that the paths of all humanity will be infinitely bright, allowing all living beings to rely on this radiant world as a foundation for growth, passed down to future generations. At the same time, it guides humanity toward the boundless light of the cosmic star systems.
These exceptional conditions make it clear that humanity has always yearned for a bright future. By relying on a forward-looking orientation toward existence, we can achieve a higher level of living space and foster virtuous growth. At the same time, by elevating the civilization and technology of the future to new heights, we underscore the necessity of a promising path ahead.
The Chapter of the Great Dao and True Suchness: 25.
True Suchness: It is the true reality of all terrestrial and celestial star systems. Every species exists by relying on the true nature of Suchness to dwell within the space of these star systems. Moreover, this human world manifests in the present moment of all things. How, then, can one deeply root this true reality within one’s own mindset and concepts, and put it into practice, to benefit all sentient beings among humanity?
Talent gives rise to: the mutual integration of all things and affairs, which also manifests the true suchness within "Buddha-nature and demon-nature"! This allows "true suchness Buddha-nature and true suchness demon-nature" to intertwine and assist each other in daily life; humanity can then understand: true suchness and actual reality are what the human world relies upon.
Everything arises from "True Suchness" manifesting in practical life. Only then can the seeds of Buddha-nature and the seeds of demonic nature be applied interchangeably in the present moment, allowing one to discern clearly: the realization of "illuminating the mind, seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and verifying the fruit" is also very truthfully grounded in the human world, not merely entering into religious belief, but simply cultivating practice.
Fundamentally, it is beyond comprehension: transcending the "realization of existence" as a state of profound authenticity, and under such exceptional conditions of causation, it has already been actualized within the human world, advancing toward a higher level of elevation! It offers all human beings the opportunity for virtuous and favorable conditions of causation, enabling them to ascend, grow, and transcend!
The Chapter of the Great Dao and Heaven-Earth: 26.
Heaven and Earth: Taking the human world as the reference point, all sentient beings—including humanity and all living creatures—are species nurtured by the evolution of Heaven and Earth. None have ever departed from the virtuous grace of Heaven and Earth, which is bestowed not only upon humanity but also universally upon all living beings in the human world, extending far beyond humankind alone.
Moreover, it is essential to extend this perspective to the entire spatial realm of the Earth, without distinguishing any religious or national boundaries. All should mutually care for one another, focusing on every sentient being under heaven and earth. From this, one can comprehend: in the process of heaven and earth nurturing all living beings through evolution, how should we elevate and evolve our thoughts and concepts to foster growth in the human world.
Nor should one rely on mental thoughts and consciousness to form the workings of the discriminating mind, for if one cannot even discern each process clearly, how then can one dissolve the ignorance of the past? This is precisely the fundamental grace bestowed by Heaven, which exists within the sentient world among all living beings, and at the same time provides humanity with a path toward evolution and growth into a high-tech civilization.
Towards greater growth and transcendence also lies in future technology, which will surpass present civilization by hundreds of times. The lifespan of human beings will similarly be extended to a much longer duration. Only then, in accordance with reality for humanity, will it give rise to the life of "biochemical bodies" and also form the life of "semi-biochemical bodies."
This is the future of humanity, and at the same time, it is a more authentic way to grow and transcend through these conditions of cause and effect! It precisely aims to extend the lifespan of all humans, eliminate the disappearance of all cancers and tumors, enhance the mutual integration of Chinese and Western medicine, and utilize "microscopic technology" and "yin-ming materials" to manifest the evolution of civilization.
The Chapter of the Great Dao and Primordial Heaven: 27.
Primordial: In the past cosmic cycles, all human beings possessed the innate wisdom of "inherent clarity and inherent awareness." This is a condition absolutely not found in present-day humanity. Through the spiritual consciousness of the primordial soul, the advancement of future technological civilization will lead into the realm of "virtual reality."
At the same time, there will also be the conditions possessed by the energy bodies of "relocating to transform elsewhere" and "transforming through relocation." For human beings, this can be likened to a realm of saints, immortals, and buddhas, where they come to inhabit such regions. In response to the greater evolutionary growth already achieved in the human world, the human beings of this time will have attained long-lasting life forms.
It has also evolved into semi-biological life forms and fully biological life forms. Moreover, human beings no longer reside solely within the spatial confines of the Earthly Dark Star. This technological civilization has been shaped by the first and second cosmic cycles, along with the entire first half of the third cosmic cycle—achievements that present-day humanity is incapable of comprehending.
Even if humanity had long since migrated to other planetary realms to survive, such conditions of karma would still render all human calamities nonexistent; however, within the human world, existence is constrained by mutual opposition and simultaneously balanced between yin and yang. If one cannot depart from the space of the Earthly Nether Star, they will remain deeply entrenched within these limitations and obstacles.
Moreover, how can there be virtuous growth and transcendence? The truly wise can see through this with perfect clarity; those of moderate wisdom may understand it in their hearts, yet are constrained by helplessness, as their own energy is limited to just that. For ordinary people, it becomes a matter of indifference, as they fundamentally fail to comprehend it. As for all obstacles to existence—what of them?
It is only then that one becomes utterly devoid of any vigilance toward the fact that one is deeply entrenched in the world of five impurities. Such beings among humanity are truly the epitome of helplessness! They merely continue to exist within the spatial confines of the Earthly Obscurity Star, fundamentally incapable of transcending the limitations and obstacles of mutual opposition inherent in the Earthly Obscurity Star System. What more can be said?
Chapter on the Great Dao's Beneficence: 28.
The Great Dao: It is founded upon evolution, and virtue is the fundamental intent of the Heavenly Realm. That is to say, it is the overall evolutionary process of all cosmic star systems. Without virtue bestowed upon the human world, how could ignorance and obstacles be dissolved? It would be fundamentally impossible! Regarding the virtue of the Heavenly Realm’s myriad celestial immortals, Buddhas, sages, and deities, it has long been imparted to the human world.
Only then will the obscurations of past ignorance manifest and be transformed; the future of humanity will ultimately depend on their own capacity for discernment—whether they choose to remain confined within the spatial realm of the Earthly Abyss Star or to transcend it. Humanity may find this profoundly astonishing, for such celestial revelations, bestowed as they are, have yet to be verified by contemporary science.
How to respond correctly: The Immortal Buddhas and Teachers of the Chongxin Sect lineage, with utmost sincerity, directly analyze and expound upon the virtues and blessings. This allows everyone to obtain firsthand, valuable information, providing a foundation for the survival and growth of all sentient beings in the future. This is precisely why all the Immortal Buddhas and Teachers of the Chongxin Sect lineage are by no means merely the Immortal Buddhas of the Earthly Nether Star System!
Moreover, they have existed within the vast celestial realm of the universe's void long before the formation of the Earthly Nether Star. They are capable of discerning the entire evolutionary process of cosmic galaxies, thereby comprehending all things. If viewed in terms of lifespan: consider for a moment—they have endured for billions of years, bestowing virtue and grace upon the vast expanse of cosmic galaxies throughout the grand unfolding of evolution!
Chapter on the Multitudes of the Great Dao: 29.
All sentient beings and the myriad forms of life are part of the realm of sentient existence, without distinction of any hierarchy. This encompasses sages, immortals, buddhas, and deities from different galaxies, as well as the most minute species—all are among sentient beings. Human beings, too, are one kind of sentient being. It can be understood that different causes and conditions give rise to the existence of various sentient beings.
Residing within different star systems, all human beings living in the present moment are merely transient passengers of time. Who can truly comprehend that across the various star systems of the vast celestial universe, there exist diverse forms of life thriving under distinct conditions of existence? Such conditions for survival are shaped by a multitude of extraordinary causes and conditions, guiding the evolution of all sentient beings.
At the same time, there exist numerous processes of growth and decline across different star systems. The human world, represented by the space of Earth, coexists and mutually supports the realm of the underworld, which together constitute the Earthly Nether Star System, also known as the Earthly Space! Human beings may ponder: What are the causes and conditions behind this? Truly, it is exceedingly difficult to comprehend!
That is to say: those who fail to qualify as Buddhas, sages, deities, or immortals are sent down to the human world for reformation. How many can truly understand the helplessness of being born into this existence? In human life, eight or nine out of ten matters are unsatisfactory; only one or two may go as desired. Thus, many undesirable habits arise as a result.
Only then does the human multitude emerge, most of whom are unable to pursue according to their own desires, and who find it difficult to maintain long-term confidence while existing within the space of the Diming Star System. This is truly a state of helplessness, yet what can be done? It is necessary to genuinely change all unwholesome habits in order for goodness to flourish.
The Great Dao esteems the heart in its unfolding,  
The Great Dao's radiance knows no bounds in time.
The Great Way, true and thus, enters the human realm;  
The Great Way, primordial and innate, is the foundation of virtuous grace.
The Great Way exists in heaven, earth, and among humanity;  
Cultivate the roots of its virtue and grace.
All beings of the Great Dao are thus;  
Cause and effect of the Great Dao mutually align.
This verse is shared among all human beings for mutual encouragement; only through greater elevation and transcendence in all worldly affairs can there be virtuous growth. It makes no distinction among all sentient beings and myriad forms of life, nor does it differentiate any celestial body that nurtures life—all are part of the community of sentient beings. Yet, who among us truly understands the key to this truth? Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

The Twenty-eighth Chapter of the Great Dao:  
The True Buddha Heart Sutra Unfolds Its Virtuous Grace.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Orthodox Chairman of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha of Heavenly Virtue from the Void, has descended to compose the twenty-eighth chapter of "The Great Tao as One Family." This installment provides an analysis of the latter half of the fourth chapter of the "True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Great Tao," which is poised to foster significant growth in goodness among humanity.
At the same time, this also allows the lineage of Chongxin to gradually draw a close to all the hardships endured over these eighteen years. It is also a genuine opportunity for ourselves and all sentient beings with affection to understand: What will the future of human technological civilization be like? This will be thoroughly analyzed one by one after the thirty-seventh volume, offering everyone the opportunity for wholesome growth.
It is essential to enable everyone to understand: from birth to old age and death, all transformations within the entire cosmic galaxy, as well as the changes in one’s own lifetime, and how to advance, grow, transcend, and elevate! Tomorrow is Saturday again. In the Zen opportunity to break through delusions and obstacles, it is necessary to guide sentient beings back to truth as it is, thereby increasing the force of new advocates for propagation.
The day after tomorrow marks the Chongxin Sect's monthly repentance ceremony, which also serves as an excellent opportunity for spiritual guidance. This presents a significant chance for everyone to strive diligently, thereby accumulating virtue and hidden merits. I hope we can all work hard together—how about it? Two responses only—seems no one is fully focused, but what can be done! We must truly put in the effort to achieve good and virtuous results. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!

The Sage Emperor of Literary Balance, whose virtue and intent are vast.
The twenty-ninth chapter of the Great Dao lineage:  
Spreading transformation across the cosmos, all beings flourish.
Chapter on the Great Dao and Karma: 30.
Upon entering into religion, human beings come to recognize a necessity for sustaining life, which simultaneously gives rise to the need to engage in a food chain, a chain of affairs, and a currency chain. Coupled with the combination of all karmic connections among human beings, this becomes an essential reliance within the human world.
Regarding the sustenance of life, it is only when all causes and effects manifest that one enters into the necessity of aligning with the true nature of one's own survival orientation. This also leads to the harmonization of causes and effects through the emotional responses of each individual in the process of sustaining life. Consequently, for all human beings, under the influence of each person's emotional reactions, it becomes a function of distinguishing between good and bad.
In the realm of human beings, this process implants the karmic consequences of past good and evil causes and conditions into the present life. Thus, the effects of past virtuous and flawed causes and conditions manifest in the current moment. For humanity, this brings forth all past blessings and retributions, distinguishing the nature of the karmic outcomes being endured in the present.
As human beings, it is difficult to comprehend how each cause and effect arises and how it ultimately resolves. If one finds oneself in favorable circumstances with good karma, it is believed that no sentient being would dislike such a state. At the same time, when faced with adverse and unwholesome karma that enters one's present existence, it often leads to a process of repayment filled with reluctance and unwillingness.
If one can understand and discern, then karma can be repaid with a heart of solace and joy—this is something that human beings can comprehend! In the human world, there are many good karmic outcomes that come to repay kindness, and even more unfavorable ones that come to demand retribution, all determined by the actions of past lives.
The Chapter on the Great Dao's Guiding Principles: 31.
The Great Path of Fundamental Principles: This has been the system upon which humanity has relied for the past several millennia. The practice of these fundamental principles in the human world is a highly authentic way of adhering to the orientation of survival in the present moment, and it also brings great blessings to those who partake in it. Humanity relies on these fundamental principles as the conditions for upholding human ethics and morality.
Every human being must adhere to the principles of social order as they truly are, regardless of whether it is a small family or a large institution. It is equally necessary to cultivate compassion for all sentient beings within the framework of these human ethical norms. At the same time, this also shapes humanity within the ethical fabric of social order, guiding them to rely on the "New Three Principles of Social Order" as imparted by the Chongxin lineage from the divine realm above.
This can be truthfully extended to the vast human world, relying on the demonstration of ethical and moral norms. In every small family and large organization, all human ethical regulations will have different frameworks followed by each unit. By instilling such excellent norms into all human beings, they will be upheld through the "New Three Guiding Principles."
The former Three Cardinal Guides of the past—ruler guiding subject, father guiding son, and husband guiding wife—have now been transformed by the divine will through the Chongxin lineage. They have been revised into the new Three Cardinal Bonds: the bond of loyalty and righteousness between ruler and subject, the bond between parents and children, and the bond of harmony and union between husband and wife. These principles, as regulated by such conditions, apply without distinction to all peoples and nations across the world.
All of this is carried out in such a manner; in particular, for the descendants of Huaxia, it is faithfully implemented through the regulations of the "New Three Bonds and Constants," serving as an essential orientation for the survival of all future human beings. At the same time, it fosters a remarkably wholesome set of customs and habits, guiding conduct in accordance with the norms of the "New Three Bonds and Constants."
Chapter on the Ethics of the Great Dao: 32.
When humans enter into family life, they are drawn to the necessities of comfort and sustenance within a small household. In the past, this relied solely on the father’s sufficient income, while in the present era, it is supported by the dual incomes of both husband and wife. This also reflects the regulation of human relationships, grounded in mutual respect for the principles of social order and ethics.
That is to say: while both superiors and subordinates can jointly respect and honor this system of human relationships, they also rely on it to evolve within a small family, as well as within different units and groups... This addresses the genuine necessity of human survival, while simultaneously establishing order, thereby achieving harmony between the young and the old, and proper ethics between husband and wife.
Moreover, all members of the household, both young and old, adhere to this system of hierarchy, enabling humanity to evolve into a greater framework of order. Simultaneously, by upholding human ethics and morality, this evolution fosters greater growth and benefit. Thus, humanity will come to understand that the foundation of social order lies in filial piety, from which ethical principles are derived and followed.
This form of filial piety, upheld by the descendants of the Huaxia lineage, can evolve to align with all modern lifestyles. Humanity can understand that, in relation to modern life orientations, the shortcomings of the past that once hindered fulfillment have long been overcome. This practice, implemented through the norms of human relationships, will bring great benefits to future generations.
It also aligns social order with ethics, and within this alignment, they are inseparable. The absence of either would lead to distinct shortcomings. This is the principle of human morality, anchored in the human world. At the same time, one must understand the clear admonition: "To have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue."
Chapter of the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao: 33.
The Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao: Therefore, over the past tens of thousands of years, all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors have been rectified, reshaping and transforming the human world into a civilization of greater technological advancement. Simultaneously, for the future generations of humanity, they will evolve into semi-cyborgs or full cyborgs. This is not an alarmist warning from Heaven.
It is precisely to present the truth as it is, hoping that humanity and all sentient beings may come to observe and understand the civilizations within the universe and galaxies! In response to the great grace of the Heavenly Realm, this technology, which was once beyond human comprehension, has gradually descended into the human world. Through today’s scientific and technological civilization, it aims to benefit humanity and all sentient beings, fostering greater evolution and growth.
How can one comprehend that the energy of "yin-ming materials," as manifested in the human world, is precisely a future technology that will be genuinely applied to enrich the sources of sustenance; simultaneously, for all human beings, it can address the shortcomings of medicine over the past fifty years by transforming all malignant cancers and tumors.
They will also truthfully transplant and reconstruct the organs of human beings, creating future races through biochemical or semi-biochemical means, not merely through the fusion of dual somatic cells. This technological civilization will undoubtedly arrive in due course, depending only on whether humanity evolves a more authentic technological civilization that can truly benefit humankind.
This will bring about significant changes for all humanity in every aspect of "food, clothing, shelter, transportation, education, and recreation." It also foreshadows a future where vehicles will travel through the skies, on land, and in water. The analysis made over a decade ago is gradually becoming viable for mass production, offering substantial advantages for the future and benefiting the world.
Chapter on the Common Origin of the Great Dao: 34.
The foundation of the Great Dao is the profound celestial mysteries bestowed upon the human world by the Supreme Heavens. It exists for all cosmic star systems and galaxies, without distinction among the religious sects of humanity or the diverse ways of life of all races. It encompasses all sentient beings and myriad forms of life, all sharing the same essence, descended into the human realm with identical origins.
From this, it becomes clear: human beings are not originally a species produced by the Earth-Moon star system. Their fundamental origins all stem from different cosmic galaxies, which means that humanity is rooted in this galactic star system. If we consider even farther origins, it is fundamentally difficult to enter the Milky Way galaxy of the solar star system.
Thus, the great Dao shares a common origin, as do humanity, religions, and races. All share this common source. Yet humanity is divided into races of blue, red, white, yellow, green, and black. Among sentient beings, humans are but one kind, distinguished into many races of conscious beings. This celestial truth is bestowed upon the living space of humankind!
The Chapter on the Great Dao and Consciousness-Only: 35.
The fundamental principle of the Great Way lies in consciousness, yet humanity remains incapable of discerning it: How, then, do all thoughts and intentions arise in human beings? All Buddhist doctrines are conveyed through profoundly intricate language within the human realm, intended to be comprehensible to all. Yet, while they illuminate the sublime nature of Buddhist truths, they simultaneously render humanity unable to genuinely grasp their essence.
Without even a fundamental understanding, what is the point of such notions! It can be said that in the realm of "the principles of Consciousness-Only," human existence is merely a matter of hearing without comprehension, seeing without discernment—in essence, it cannot be applied to the present moment at all. For humanity, the principles of Consciousness-Only remain only a direction of understanding, unable to be realized in daily life.
Fundamentally, it cannot be truthfully applied in the present moment, giving rise to sentient beings, nor can one even begin to comprehend how "the arising of thoughts and intentions" originates! Due to the distinctions made by humans through the faculties of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, mind, manas, ālaya, and amala, can humanity truly progress upward? Not necessarily!
In fact, the teachings imparted by the immortal Buddhas and mentors of the Chongxin lineage are precisely applied in a manner that is both remarkably plain and truthful. They can be integrated into one’s present life to benefit oneself, thereby saving thirty years of time spent in exploration and trial. This is the compassionate virtue and grace bestowed upon the human world by all the immortal Buddhas and mentors of the Chongxin lineage. Can this be truly understood?
The application of the principles of Consciousness-Only to human society brings substantial benefits to all sentient beings. It simultaneously facilitates the evolution of humanity in the affairs of each day, each hour, and each moment, enabling discernment in the application of the truths, concepts, and practices of Consciousness-Only, thereby elevating and transcending the fundamental nature of existence.
Chapter on the Great Way and the Apricot Altar: 36.
The Great Path of the Apricot Altar: Based on humanity and all living beings, it raises the question of how to evolve and elevate through all educational and cultural curricula. This prompts reflection on whether, in the human world, it is possible to discern that the Apricot Altar—representing today’s academic educational and cultural programs—can bring greater growth and benefit to humanity, thereby realizing its potential in the present moment.
Furthermore, for sentient beings, addressing these issues represents an even greater opportunity for growth and benefit. Whether one can truly comprehend this in the human world depends on the foundation of education, which yields profound advantages. For humanity as a whole, it also fosters significant development. This kind of educational tradition, akin to the "Apricot Altar" of ancient teaching, is by no means merely what is commonly referred to in the secular world as institutional education alone!
Moreover, the divine providence, in its sole descent to the educational foundation of the Apricot Altar for the mortal world, simultaneously distinguishes the "study of life and death" for all human beings. It guides us on how to ascend and grow in the future, rather than merely imparting the skills for human sustenance. Such skills for human livelihood are only of use within the mortal realm.
Humans possess a great capacity for understanding, yet in the study of human "life and death," what is achieved for the growth and transcendence of future sentient beings is profoundly authentic. At the same time, it unveils the divine inquiry into: Where does life originate? And after death, where does it return? This is truly grounded in the human world, elevating and transcending upward!
The True Path of Humanity Lies in Cause and Effect,  
The Eternal Principles of the Great Way Nourish Life.
The ethics of the Great Dao regulate,  
The celestial voice of the Great Dao accomplishes technology.
The Great Dao shares a primordial origin,  
The Great Dao is realized in the human world.
The Great Dao is proclaimed throughout the world from the Apricot Altar;  
The Dadao series embodies boundless virtue.
This verse! It serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings, and as the Dadao series of celestial books gradually approaches completion, it allows for a greater and more truthful manifestation of our actions and conduct! It also enables us to achieve greater evolutionary growth and transcendence. This is the great compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven upon the Chongxin lineage, descending to transform the human beings of this current generation. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

For sentient beings with affection, is it possible to truly ascend and transcend? That is, through the great compassion and virtuous grace bestowed by Heaven upon the human world, all favorable conditions are provided for sentient beings with affection to grow upward, ascend, and transcend. If there are no further matters, we shall conclude here today. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

Chapter 37: The Way Pervades All Under Heaven
The Great Dao: It is precisely that which all in the human world rely upon and return to, and also serves as the support for the sustenance of all human beings and sentient beings. Thus, it can be understood that regarding the foundation of the world—that is, the regions where all sentient beings dwell—for human beings and all living creatures alike, there is a spiritual essence that enters into and permeates them.
Only then does it become evident that all human existence is necessary for the mutual cooperation and the actions taken alongside all living beings in the world. This human realm, in turn, relies on the spirituality of all living beings, with humanity serving as the guiding force and ultimate destination. At the same time, it educates humanity to ascend and grow, enabling them to truly benefit from it.
This set of causal conditions means that, with humanity as the most spiritually advanced among all beings, living in this world necessitates mutual support between all living things and humanity itself. As human beings grow in spirituality, serving as the foundation for all things, there arises a need to care for all beings under heaven—not merely for humans alone.
Moreover, all sentient and non-sentient beings, across different levels, realms, and orientations of existence, are interconnected and interwoven through what is known as the food chain. It is this interdependence that sustains all life, allowing them to coexist on the same planet.
Humanity, as the most spiritually advanced among all beings, also serves as a benevolent support for all living things. Progressing toward a higher, transcendent realm allows the vast universe to interconnect with Earth, creating a mutually sustaining foundation for all existence. This nurtures life in the human world, with Earth as its ultimate anchor.
Chapter on the Great Dao and Self-Nature: 38.
Self-Nature: It primarily resides within each human being, as humans, being the most spiritual of all creatures, give rise to the distinction between "Buddha-nature and demonic nature." In truth, Self-Nature is fundamentally guided by Taoist principles, a concept not addressed by other religions. This so-called Self-Nature is further recognized in Buddhism as "Buddha-nature."
If we consider Buddha-nature: it is the condition expounded by Buddhism, and every human being is endowed with Buddha-nature, which is an undeniable truth. Therefore, it is essential to take Buddha-nature as the guiding orientation toward a broader realm, thereby forming the condition where human beings rely on their "innate nature" as the guiding force for nurturing life.
If we incorporate religious terminology, we encounter concepts such as Buddha-nature, demonic nature, saintly nature, immortal nature, Dao-nature, individuality, innate disposition, habits, inertia, and so on—there would be too many habitual tendencies. It can be said that if we remove the dualities of "Buddha and demon," the habitual tendencies of religion disappear as well, and we return to the orientation of "the original nature being inherently pure and spontaneous."
Regarding the various natures upon which beings depend, humanity takes self-nature as its foundation, which simultaneously serves as a guiding principle. When one discards the notions of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature," all the undesirable habits of the human world cease to exist. In light of human factors in the present era, how can we evolve and elevate to a higher and more sublime nature?
It thus enables one to discern how the nature may ascend and grow, rather than descend and degenerate! If humanity were to understand that self-nature discerns the individual's inherent nature, it would lead to considerable growth and transcendence. Yet, how many can truly discern that all the driving force for upward growth stems from this condition, which is oriented toward humanity's inherent nature?
How can one apply this to oneself for benefit? It is essential to understand: to advance upward within the "mutual resonance of natures" of the intrinsic essence! As one grows, elevates, and transcends, one will truly benefit. How can the original ancient nature be integrated into the present nature within this "mutual resonance of natures"? When these two interact through mutual resonance, they promote one's upward advancement for benefit.
Chapter on the Great Way of the Mind Sect: 39.
The Great Dao is grounded in the natural cycles of heaven and earth. If humanity cannot comprehend what the "Great Dao" truly is, how can they rely upon the "Heart Sect" as their foundation? When a family is blessed with genuine and favorable conditions, it weaves together the benefits of a harmonious and complete household. Thus, for humanity, there emerges the union of all members within such a virtuous family.
There must be: parents, oneself, spouses, children, siblings, grandchildren, and relatives by one’s side, all interconnected within a single family. How, then, can there be a good nurturing of life? How can there be mutual fulfillment? It is because, in the past, human beings placed greater emphasis on the manifestation of the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Anchors and Eight Virtues.
If we consider the past era, it was possible to cultivate the concept of growing old together by relying on virtuous foundations. However, in today’s generation, where divorce rates are notably high, how can such virtuous foundations be maintained? At the same time, it has become difficult for humanity to fully achieve the mutual harmony between husband and wife that once contributed to the prosperity of the family.
In every family, a virtuous wife is formed, and it can be understood that the prosperity of the entire household relies on her. For a "lucky star of a harmonious home," there is a virtuous wife as its support, and she also brings harmony and prosperity to every member of the family. As the ancient saying goes: "To have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue!"
This causal condition is based on: How can maternal virtue be used to nurture and educate future generations through a process of gradual cultivation? Precisely, it relies on maternal instruction! Such maternal guidance will lead every family to achieve the prosperity and harmony of the household as a whole, thereby enabling the distinction and implementation of practices for the benefit of all sentient beings, adapting to different times and spaces while adhering to the present moment.
How should it be implemented to realize the functional benefits presented by the "New Three Bonds and Constants"? It is to be guided by maternal virtue education! It also ensures that all humanity under heaven takes "the motherly model governing the world" as the benchmark, which is the virtuous grace of the Supreme Venerable Mother of the Wuji. Through growth and benefit within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star, precisely at the transition between the hours of Wu and Wei, maternal virtue is promulgated and practiced across the world!
The Truth of the Great Dao - Chapter of Wisdom: 40.
The Great Dao Truth: it takes heaven and earth as its foundation, and further relies on the cosmic galaxies, adhering to a set of twelve virtues known as filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, wisdom, benevolence, courage, and harmony as its benchmarks. It is precisely within these eight virtues that the beings of humanity manifest this concept, planting it into the field of the eight consciousnesses.
Simultaneously remembering all the wisdom of the truths of heaven and earth, one can understand: regarding all occurrences of "Buddha-nature manifestation" and "demonic-nature manifestation" at the same time, one can discern whether all religious practitioners can truly rely on the future attainment of enlightenment as it truly is, rather than being unable to discern, which lies in the growth of such causal conditions.
For those who cultivate religious faith, by pursuing a true basis, one can explore the mysteries of the universe and celestial realms, and achieve genuine virtuous growth and transcendence. Without such conditions of affinity, it would be impossible to rely on a true foundation to depart from the Earthly Nether Star System, thereby distinguishing the "energy body" and the "quantum energy body" after departure.
In this world, how is it that the realization of Buddha-nature has only thirteen levels, while demonic nature has twenty? As the ancients said, "When Buddha rises one foot, the demon rises ten; when Buddha rises ten feet, the demon stands above its head." This is the greatest karmic turning point for humanity, and it must be thoroughly understood: after truly departing from the Earth-Ming star system, all that is good will flourish!
Within all beings capable of transcending, there exist over three hundred and sixty levels of distinction. After such transcendence, how then can one cultivate and accumulate benefits for one's own capacity? Only by doing so can one establish a wholesome reliance for the future, enabling free navigation through the vast celestial realms of the great universe—this is absolutely true and certain!
The Chapter of the Great Dao as One Family: 41.
The Great Dao is One Family: Thus, through the celestial texts of the Great Dao series, which rely on the entirety of the series, one can discern the distinctions among all: the achieved, the unachieved, and the non-achieved. At the same time, it addresses that all sentient beings possess both Buddha-nature and demon-nature, which is why humanity manifests distinctions such as right and wrong, correct and incorrect, good and evil, yin and yang.
Thus it becomes clear: within the confines of the Earthly Nether Star's spatial realm, which exists only within a framework of mutual limitations, how can one truly ascend, achieving transcendence and return? In this mortal world, is there truly a path of upward growth, or is it merely a reliance on the mundane, leading only to repeated cycles of rebirth within the Earthly Nether Star's spatial domain?
Such points of inquiry are fundamentally beyond human comprehension. How then, in the present moment, can one truly grasp the profound meaning behind the operation of heaven and earth? Or thoroughly penetrate the authentic reality of all cosmic and stellar evolutions? For humanity in this lifetime, existence is largely confined to the sustenance of daily life, making it exceedingly difficult to genuinely experience the dynamic forces driving the rotation of heaven and earth and the evolution of cosmic galaxies.
One will then understand clearly: what are the causes and conditions for me to ascend and transcend! One must also truthfully establish the prosperity of a small family, then cultivate through a medium-sized family, and further propagate through a large family, forming the foundation for all future achievements; when humans enter into the world, is it merely for the purpose of survival and blending in?
In truth, it is the original driving force that allows for upward growth; it also enables connections with different ideological systems. In this way, everyone can genuinely advance and transcend, rather than merely engaging in disputes within the human realm—arguing over right and wrong, or debating trivial matters. Given the same time, space, and conditions, why should there be such vast differences and limitations?
It is essential to understand: how to contend with "heaven and earth, star systems, and the cosmos" for a transcendence that spans eternity! The key lies in the realm of thought and perception—how to integrate the energy of heaven and earth, thereby attaining the conditions endowed by the cosmic energy body. This is a mutual limitation, and the true path lies in transforming and dissolving these limiting obstacles.
Dadao Series Chapter: 42.
The Chongxin Sect lineage has authored the world's only "Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts," capable of discerning that this is the sole and highest-level teaching affinity in the world today. This applies without distinction to any religious sect or lineage. If one can attain the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin Sect lineage, conversely, there is also the innate treasury of Master Li Xin Guangming Chan.
Regarding the Buddhist principles of Consciousness-Only, all celestial mysteries and profound secrets are disseminated into the human world. This condition of causation is attributed to the virtuous merits of two supreme deities: the Infinite Imperial Mother, the Great Heavenly Honored One, and the Void Infinite Lishan Old Mother, the Great Heavenly Honored One. Through their grace, all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors in the human realm are transformed, enabling progress, growth, and transcendence.
Drawing upon innovative ways of thinking and concepts, we strive to explore greater celestial mysteries and profound truths, bringing them down to the human world. In doing so, all humanity can readily evolve through the principles of Buddhist Vijñānavāda (Consciousness-Only) philosophy, fostering the regeneration and growth of their own thoughts and perspectives. At the same time, this approach also compensates for the shortcomings and deficiencies found in various religions across the world.
Within all different karmic entities, the actions one undertakes in the present moment foster genuine upward growth. This inevitably leads to a return to the vast cosmic realms, where one can soar freely among the stars and galaxies of the universe. Human religions seldom dare to speak of such extraordinary achievements and returns, yet these present actions serve as the foundation for the future.
In truth, every sentient being with a heart of compassion can progress upward and advance. It is essential to reflect on the direction of one’s own aspirations! Precisely concerning the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," which will be faithfully transmitted for over a thousand years, they will also evolve across different times and spaces, bringing true benefit to all sentient beings in the vast universe.
Dadao Series Chapter (Two): 43.
The Great Tao Series of Celestial Texts: This refers to the entire collection of thirty-six volumes, faithfully completed over the eighteen-year span of the Chongxin lineage, beginning with The Heart-Lamp of the Great Tao and concluding with The Great Tao as One Family. For humanity, it truly marks a step toward a splendid and glorious chapter. This profound connection arises from the boundless compassion and virtuous grace bestowed upon the mortal world by the Heavenly Realm.
The Chongxin lineage has maintained its steadfast resolve, consistently and methodically producing each volume over eighteen years without omission across any period, nor delay within any timeframe. With unwavering determination and sincere faith, it has ensured that none of the celestial texts are left incomplete due to any deficiency.
It can be truthfully recorded when the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers descend to compose, never causing delay. Within this kind of sincerity, "faith that proves effective" is also formed. This is precisely the affirmation and praise bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the Chongxin Lineage. Regarding all the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers who descend to compose, they have consistently expressed admiration and affirmation for the unwavering dedication and diligent efforts of the entire Chongxin Lineage.
Thus, among all Confucian sages and the various religions in the world today, those who form a model demonstration of "faith with practical efficacy" are represented by the Chongxin lineage. Specifically, within the "Great Dao Heart Lineage" and the "True Buddha Heart Lineage," these two lineages are grounded in reality and comparatively practical, collectively promoted as the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Lineage."
This is for all human beings, regardless of any religion, to mutually support and fulfill one another, while also advancing the "Chongxin Lineage" into the human world. Only those who rely on religious faith and practice the path of cultivation can truly elevate themselves, transcend, and return to the great cosmic celestial realm through ascension!
The Great Dao is known to all under heaven,  
The Great Dao's nature is held by both Buddha and demon.
The Heart of the Great Dao unfolds the virtue of motherhood;  
The Truth of the Great Dao holds profound wisdom.
The Great Dao is beloved by all,
The series of heavenly scriptures is arranged in order.
All thirty-six volumes of works  
Completely fulfill the great path's opening.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all compassionate beings of humanity. To faithfully fulfill all duties entrusted by Heaven in the human world, and to truly benefit from all systems of teaching and karmic connections in the human world—this is the true path! We also extend gratitude to all students and disciples for their wholehearted support in the creation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
Furthermore, the True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Wuji Great Dao, which has been composed, has now evolved to its sixth and final completion. Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!

As immortal youths ascend the stage to meet the virtuous.
May all be auspicious and well,  
As we promote the truth in harmony.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Dao Heart Sect’s Master of Humanity and Heaven, the Immortal Maiden Jiutian Xuannü, descended to compose the thirtieth chapter of *The Great Dao as One Family*, which has now been faithfully completed. For the future, there remain three more chapters to be written for the *Wuji Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sutra*.
It will then open, dissolving all past ignorance and obstacles, and will analyze all worldly dualities: right and wrong, good and evil, positive and negative, yin and yang.

## The Sacred Emperor of Literary Balance, Loyal and Righteous, of the Primordial Origin
Homage to the Ancient Buddha of Compassionate Benevolence, the Lamp-Lighting Sage.
The Great Dao series unfolds its vast transformation,  
The True Buddha Heart Sutra is bestowed upon the world.
The Great Dao, Heaven and Earth Chapter (II): 44.
The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth: It foremost emphasizes the virtue and blessings bestowed upon all living beings in the human world. Such conditions of karma provide benevolent support in the lives of sentient beings inhabiting the earthly realm. This karma applies equally to every sentient being, without distinction of race or species, granting each the rights, responsibilities, and obligations to exist between heaven and earth.
This is the great virtue bestowed by Heaven upon the world, which makes no distinction among any race, nation, or religion—all are united as one. In the interplay of different beliefs and the nourishment of life, mutual enrichment fosters growth in the true direction of existence. As one nurtures life within the world, it naturally leads to the harmonious application of both the "physical body and the spiritual body."
In the practical application of daily life, the following questions arise: How should I act? How should I proceed? How can I benefit? Moreover, regarding the distinction between "body and spirituality," whether I am driven by ideology or by the workings of the conscious mind, most people are unable to discern whether their actions are governed by the conscious mind or by ideology.
Every moment in time and space is like this! Without distinguishing between all spiritual beings and physical bodies in heaven and earth, it is only by adhering to one's own ideology and allowing the conscious mind to dominate that every matter is judged based on one's current actions. The key lies in how to ascend and grow, rather than descend and degenerate—this is the crucial distinction!
Chapter on Ideology: 45.
Ideology is what humans take pride in as the concepts they recognize and apply in the present moment—this is called the emergence of conscious thought and concepts! Furthermore, why do sentient human beings possess such ideologies? If humans lacked ideology, the desire to uphold even a fraction of strength would likely not arise from their own thoughts and actions.
This ideology, in relation to all sentient beings, arises from the accumulation of past experiences in the present moment. It manifests through the integration of one's own thoughts and concepts into the concepts dominated by the eighth consciousness—that is, the seventh manas consciousness projects into the eighth consciousness, thereby giving rise to a true and accurate manifestation of all one's present actions and behaviors.
This results in: the mutual interconnection of events that support each other, while simultaneously propelling forward what is called the "power of grasping." Sentient beings are unaware that it is their own consciousness that, in the present moment, shapes all causes, conditions, and effects, and also uses this consciousness to create the original substance of a matter.
Thus, there arises: in addressing problems that emerge in the present moment, a distinction is formed: how are my actions and behaviors! Human beings, through consciousness, are able to initiate the "self" in daily life, overcoming points of difficulty; if humans lacked consciousness, there would be no arising of thoughts or intentions at all.
And it influences all my current actions and behaviors, incorporating my own initiative to support all my actions. This is also known as: containing causes that arise from thoughts and ideas, combined with actions and behaviors, which will create all "karmic cause and effect" to be implanted in the present moment, forming the distinction between good and bad in the future.
Every occurrence arises from human factors, propelling oneself into the future. It originates from the interplay of all good and evil, favorable and unfavorable "causes, conditions, and effects," and within all "triggered causes" in the human world, it is guided by "consciousness" that governs one's every action and behavior.
Chapter on Ideology (II): 46
Consciousness: That is to say, through the seeds of the eight consciousnesses, it manifests in the present moment. Only after adding all the issues concerning the self, along with the fresh memories from different past lifetimes, can the points of these issues be addressed: How should one discern them? And how are all concepts from this present life or past lifetimes integrated into this process?
In fact, most people tend to incorporate the "ideologies" accumulated over lifetimes into their present actions and choices. This leads them to draw upon all the causes and conditions from past lives, projecting them into the current moment. Consequently, it becomes difficult to distinguish who the "self" truly is in the context of human existence, leaving one with a somewhat vague and hazy understanding.
If we consider this in the present moment, it seems as though it is not merely the actions of this lifetime? For humanity and all sentient beings, it connects the past "causes, conditions, and karmic retributions" and implants them into one's own "ideology." Only then do all the virtues and vices, good and bad, right and wrong, accumulated over countless lifetimes become the driving force behind every problem one encounters in the human world.
Thus, accumulated past experiences are stored within the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, entering into the repository of manas and alaya consciousness. From this arise the dependent origins of form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharmas, which in turn immerse themselves in all causes, effects, and karma, allowing different times and spaces to deeply manifest within the present moment.
Thus, ignorance is once again reintroduced into contemplation, and the question arises: is it complete? Is it virtuous? This then becomes the lesson of your present lifetime. If there is no completion or virtuous transformation, it will be tested and refined life after life, becoming a recurring pattern throughout countless lifetimes.
Chapter on the Operation of the Conscious Spirit: 47.
The functioning of the conscious mind: this is what humans are most adept at employing to carry out actions. Why do such behaviors arise? It is much like how, among humans, in their perceptions of various races, some can understand with just a hint, some are merely mediocre, others are simply unable to comprehend, and still others knowingly commit wrongs despite understanding!
Regarding the fundamental nature of humanity, once different interpretations arise, the phenomenon of "consciousness-driven action" emerges. This transforms what was originally a fairly simple matter into actions taken from various perspectives, leading to the manifestation of rather unfavorable outcomes. Humanity thus becomes entangled in the consequences of its own consciousness-driven actions.
Encompassing: deities of various levels and realms, as well as all manner of spirits and demons... among them is what the human world refers to as the "Moshinzai." Moreover, the manifestations of such beings in the human world differ from those of ordinary humans, leading to many matters that cannot be fully unfolded one by one. Consequently, this relatively becomes a point of issue for the whole.
Through the emergence of one's own "conscious mind taking charge," when one has already entered a state of "inhuman" behavior or actions, and such instances of "conscious mind taking charge" are ubiquitous in the human world, various inner demons will arise. This is what is commonly referred to in the human world as being "led by the nose by evil spirits"!
Why do human beings often find themselves led astray by the "Moshin"? It is because flawed thoughts and concepts become entangled with the "conscious mind's dominance" in the present moment, making it difficult to align with the principles of heaven and earth. In such circumstances, they often feel utterly helpless, and turning back is no easy task.
Chapter on the Relative Nature of Heaven and Earth: 48.
When sentient beings with emotions enter into a survival-oriented existence, all their actions in the present moment inevitably align with the survival orientation of the "self." Yet, they fail to recognize the "self" itself—unable to comprehend that within heaven and earth, everything exists in mutual opposition and mutual limitation.
Human beings seldom have a clear understanding of the "self": every matter exists within relativity, within limitations, and even within obstacles! Humanity can never see clearly, so how can they interact with heaven and earth to enter the path of the Golden Mean? Nor can they comprehend why there exists the "problem of gain and loss"?
In the human world, it has become a dynamic of mutual interaction: when one side gains, the other loses. Since the existence of the "Moon, Sun, and Stars," the human realm has fundamentally been characterized by mutual opposition, mutual limitation, and mutual obstruction. Those who can see this clearly are individuals of great wisdom, yet such great wisdom often leads to even greater limitations and obstacles.
Moreover, all obstacles that hinder one's evolution toward greater growth and transcendence tend to be forgotten after a period of time. This condition of mutual opposition between heaven and earth is precisely the greatest hindrance for all sentient beings. If you praise and glorify such mutual opposition, it will likely become impossible for you to ascend and progress further.
Chapter 49: The Life of the Great Dao
Human beings apply the "consciousness-only concept" in the present moment, guiding how to strive in daily life and how to manifest all actions and behaviors in the here and now. In the human world, life is often likened to the highest pursuit of existence; in reality, this is merely more useful for the physical body.
If we focus on spirituality, it becomes impossible to truly understand: within my spirituality, in daily life, the concepts of "Consciousness-Only theory" will arise. Human beings often merely immerse themselves in the reappearance of thoughts and concepts, which is precisely the manifestation of past causes and conditions coming together, persisting all the way to the present.
Buddhism introduces its most fundamental concepts into the present moment, yet most sentient beings fail to recognize them. The concept of "Consciousness-Only" manifests in daily life, enabling genuine nurturing actions. Moreover, in every process lies the key to revealing the Buddhist doctrine of "Consciousness-Only."
It also incorporates the Daoist concept of the "three hun and seven po," integrating them into all arising phenomena, thereby enabling actions and behaviors. This forms the "mutual alternation between human and other species" within heaven and earth, allowing for a genuine existence in the world. This fusion of "Consciousness-Only studies" with "soul studies" in all manifestations further contributes to a favorable process of survival in the human realm.
The Chapter on the Great Dao and Causality: 50.
The Great Dao: It signifies that within the universe, the fundamental essence of all beings is identical. Humanity has never been able to transcend this reality—the genetic essence shared between humans and all living things is over eighty percent the same. It is only through differing thoughts and perspectives that humans evolve toward more advanced and virtuous connections.
Therefore, it gives rise to the phenomenon that although all human beings and myriad living creatures coexist on the same Earth Star, why do they manifest differently? This also leads to the alternating existence of humans and animals within the space of the Earth Star. Hence, humanity must come to understand the discernment of all things: the distinctions between right and wrong, good and evil, and truth and falsehood.
It enables discernment: precisely to avoid remaining deeply entrenched in the alternating cycles of reincarnation! The greatest merit of human beings lies in producing numerous descendants and offspring across different times and circumstances—this is the most significant virtue of humanity. Yet, when viewed through the lens of all existence shaped by the causes and conditions of heaven and earth: is this truly beneficial?
Is it still an adverse effect? One can understand: in the face of all that arises in the human world at this very moment, how should I proceed? To put it bluntly, as for these descendants, how many can truly comprehend the ancestors of seven generations past? And how many of their thoughts and ideas can be preserved in the minds of future generations? It is not easy at all!
Regarding one's arrival into this world, nothing is brought along; when life in this world ends and it is time to depart, nothing is taken away either. Everything is left behind for future generations. How many people in this world hold the notion of leaving a legacy for their descendants? Each comes alone and departs alone—truly, there is nothing to be done about it.
Human connections thrive in favorable times and spaces, among diverse species of existence.
One must comprehend the principle of heaven and earth,  
Only then can one truly discern the traces of reality.
The great virtue of the universe's evolution bestows blessings,  
and humanity and all things mutually benefit from one another.
In every moment and place,  
Gain and loss become clear and bright.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. In the face of all living beings in the universe, there is only the ceaseless transformation of various species. Yet how many can truly comprehend the inevitability of matter turning into humans and humans turning into matter? Such is the nature of all living beings in the vast cosmos—merely manifestations arising within the space of the earthly and celestial realms. The true path lies in understanding how to ascend and grow in the present moment. Thank you all for accompanying this work. Farewell and gratitude!

The Great Dao Family composes the Heart Sutra,  
To spread and develop human nature in the future.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Grand Master, Namo Ancient Buddha Dipankara, has returned from his descent to compose the seventh chapter of the *Wuji Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sutra*. In this work, the Buddhist concept of "ideology" from the Consciousness-Only school is further explored, incorporating the various processes of "consciousness in action." How, then, should one navigate these orientations?
Thus, it is time to bid farewell: to the conditions and causes that guide me on the path of upward growth! This is the practice that, when applied to all endeavors in the human world, brings forth virtuous growth and transcendence! Tomorrow is Saturday again; let us pause the Zen teachings that dispel confusion for one session, allowing everyone to relax and travel to the south! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

The Chapter of the Great Way and Consciousness-Only (Part Three): 51.
The Great Dao is Consciousness-Only: It enables the discernment of all human conduct, grounded in the principles of Consciousness-Only philosophy. As humanity evolves into the present era, every arising thought and intention takes shape, manifesting in the human world through all matters and entities. Each thought and intention inevitably enters the storage of the "ideology" from which it emerges.
This process of evolving the discernment of "consciousness-only" towards every sentient being, and manifesting all actions and behaviors from one's own mental attitudes and concepts, incorporates past experiences into one's own survival process. It thereby accumulates all experiences, further discerning them through the lens of present existence.
Moreover, when entering the human world under such causal conditions, it is a form of accumulated past experiences. Regardless of whether these experiences are good or bad, they are all stored within the IC microchip. This IC microchip, precisely in the present moment, enables the discernment of every single action of all living beings, all of which are influenced by the eighth consciousness.
Evolution serves as the foundation for all of one's actions and behaviors, and it also enables human beings to manifest higher knowledge and wisdom for application. Only then can humanity regenerate memories from previous experiences. Evolution lies in every action and behavior of the present moment, and this process inherently involves memory, which underpins all behavioral principles of human beings.
Chapter 52: The Great Dao Under Heaven
When human beings enter into the orientation of survival, they will indeed possess many of their own ideologies. By adhering to the principles of all under heaven, they evolve their own "mind consciousness," thus giving rise to "mind phenomena and form phenomena." These two are mutually applied to all human beings under heaven, and it is the same for all living creatures in the vast world!
Furthermore, the world is a vast community, and humanity occupies only a small part of it. Even if one desires a broader living space, it can only extend to eight feet; anything larger may not be fully utilized. Similarly, all human endeavors in this world account for merely thirty percent of what is possible, while the rest is driven by humanity's pursuit of greater pleasures.
Meanwhile, those with greater blessings will naturally attain them; those with average blessings must still strive diligently to pursue them; while those with lesser blessings often find themselves grasping at one thing only to miss countless others! In this human world, who can perpetually accumulate all good fortunes and blessings? Among sentient beings, there is a well-known adage: "Not as good as the best, but better than the worst."
All processes of existence in the human world are merely about comfort, warmth, and sustenance—yet who can truly see this clearly? All living beings are but borrowing: borrowing a glance, borrowing possession! What can be enjoyed long without contradiction? This is the truth of heaven and earth, the principle of the world, offering humanity insight into all dwelling and enjoyment.
All of these are only effective when one's blessings are sufficient; when blessings decline, it is fundamentally impossible to possess them in full measure—this is the great impartiality of the world! Humanity also cannot comprehend how to achieve this great impartiality for the world. How, then, can one evolve to become selfless and non-interfering? It requires understanding: the same principle of impartiality applies to all beings in the world!
It will influence whether, before the end of my life, I can leave behind a page of light and richness to be passed down to future generations! With the Dao of the world as the benchmark, it will inspire humanity to cultivate genuine intentionality, and transform this intentionality into a foundation for all future endeavors, providing a basis for my own growth in the days to come.
Chapter on the Common Origin of the Great Dao (Part Three): 53.
The reliance on the Great Dao lies in evolving the shared origin of all sentient beings into richer knowledge and discernment, thereby cultivating benevolent wisdom. Evolution occurs within the present moment of oneself, while simultaneously revealing the common points across every time and space. Have humans discerned this? The shared origin with the Great Dao is precisely the point of difficulty that sentient beings have consistently failed to comprehend.
This is also because there has been significant growth in the human world. In truth, all human beings and all living creatures share the same DNA genes. Therefore, in the current 21st century, the heavens have chosen to elevate the essential nature of human genes, creating an upward-driving force that consequently enhances the RNA genes.
It is about integrating all the blessings that were incomplete in past times and spaces into the human world, so that sentient beings with emotions can greatly reduce their groping through time and space. By understanding the genes of RNA, they can then observe whether the blessings of future descendants are far greater than those of the present and the past.
The Dao shares the same origin: even if there is genuine upward growth and transcendence, humanity remains unable to comprehend: how, then, do I evolve? In truth, the great virtue and grace of Heaven provide humanity with greater opportunities for evolution, manifesting in daily life through comfort, convenience, and accessibility. It is merely a matter of whether humanity chooses to accept or reject it.
Chapter of the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao (Three): 54.
The Heavenly Melody of the Great Dao: It is the transformation and resolution of all calamities in the human world through the virtuous grace of the Supreme Heaven. It can be understood that, through the dissemination of this Heavenly Melody, humanity gains greater and more sublime conditions to rely upon for evolution, manifesting the "Three Bonds and Five Constants, Four Principles and Eight Virtues." This, in turn, forms an interconnected whole, genuinely redirecting and dissolving future calamities.
The world is also undergoing this kind of evolution, which involves extending the norms of moral principles and the dissemination of heavenly teachings to humanity. Otherwise, when calamities have already arrived, it will be impossible for sentient beings to change things anew! Nor can any matter be resolved instantly in the present moment!
Human beings, through all the divine revelations from the Heavenly Realm, disseminate these teachings in the mortal world, thereby creating the foundation for all future blessings. This also dispels the ignorance of the past, while fostering growth toward enlightenment. If one can fully penetrate the innate clarity of spiritual awareness, it signifies the restoration of the celestial immortal form of ancient times.
In this human world, there will be: the evolution from ignorance to enlightenment, which then manifests as primordial clarity. This means gradually eliminating all past impurities, bit by bit. Moreover, within one's own eighth consciousness and all thought systems, it will also bring about the result that all obstacles of ignorance no longer hinder one's "enlightened" discernment!
At this moment, if one makes an extra effort, there will be a genuine elevation in the present. I have already evolved through the spiritual awareness realized in the "inherent clarity"! This is a necessary condition when the heavenly teachings are disseminated to all sentient beings. It will reveal that all karmic obstacles accumulated over countless lifetimes are indeed created by oneself, and it will also bring about the complete resolution of all past karma.
The Chapter of the Great Dao's Constant Principles: 55.
The principles of social order and ethics are inherently interconnected. This is because humanity has consistently anchored moral and ethical norms to the orientation of survival. Moreover, if sentient beings fail to fully embody these principles of order and ethics, they will be unable to genuinely discern and understand how, in the present moment, they can evolve toward greater growth and transcendence.
In the human world, a struggle beyond comprehension will arise! How, then, can the moral order established by Heaven in the past be implemented within the framework of human society? For humanity, there exists a mutually balancing moral regulation; this is what the human realm relies upon to receive the benevolent grace of Heaven for all sentient beings and living creatures.
Encompassing all human beings, it is practiced through a system known as: the principles of social order! At the same time, these principles are applied to daily life, fostering mutual elevation and transcendence in one's life orientation, which in turn promotes the growth of goodness. The principles are thus integrated into everyday existence; "order" represents governance, while "daily" signifies the essential aspects of everyday life.
Gangchang (Fundamental Principles and Constant Virtues): They govern the essential aspects of daily life, representing the most authentic and substantial guidelines for humanity. Consequently, they give rise to a regulatory framework of ethical norms in everyday existence. By integrating these principles into daily life, human beings ensure that no actions transgress the boundaries of a life guided by Gangchang.
In the human world, a system of moral principles and regulations has been established, aligning with the cosmic order of the universe, the heavens and earth, and the living beings in all their survival orientations. This alignment enables a greater degree of peace, comfort, universality, and convenience in the ways of existence. For sentient beings, this means incorporating these moral principles into the very framework of their survival orientation.
Chapter on the Ethics of the Great Dao: 56.
The regulation of ethics, which entails the emulation of superiors by inferiors and the respect of superiors by inferiors, also establishes a framework for all human beings within ethical and moral norms. This creates an order of seniority and distinction between husband and wife, fosters righteousness among people, and acknowledges the self within the universe. The manifestation of all human ethical regulations lies in a sequential arrangement of principles, thereby shaping the relationships within human ethics.
There are twelve virtues: filial piety, fraternal respect, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, wisdom, benevolence, courage, and harmony. These are directed toward the orientation of human existence, requiring consistent and dedicated practice. For the guiding principles of humanity, they foster genuine, upward growth and transcendence, and prevent the formation of uneven gains and losses in benefits.
In the human world, such universal principles of human ethics and morality are integrated into daily life, manifesting as regulations that must be collectively upheld by all—this is the righteous path! Otherwise, if transgressions occur, the ethical norms will be undermined, and how then can there be a favorable environment for virtuous living?
It lies in the fact that all the great virtues and graces bestowed by Heaven are truly imparted to the human world, shaping humanity and all living beings. All follow the norms of human ethics and morality, integrating the principles of social order and ethical relationships into the fabric of human society. This extraordinary set of conditions and causes, in response to all human factors, inevitably elevates humanity to the role of the noblest among all beings.
The ability to discern: The distinction between human beings and animals, and the reliance on the highest among all spirits, enables the genuine fulfillment of the regulations of human ethics and morality. Thus, human beings possess the capacity to evolve this causal connection into a framework that allows each individual to discern: such principles ought to be upheld!
Chapter on Ethical Principles: 57.
The Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues: akin to ethics and morality, they are interconnected and serve as the standards for all conduct in the human world. In every time and circumstance, regardless of human nations and religious beliefs, and even within every small household, it is through the harmony of each small family that the perfection of the greater community is realized.
Regarding the principles of social order and moral regulations, these are interwoven with all survival orientations of humanity, ensuring that significant obstacles in life are avoided. It should be understood that human society is not solely reliant on formal education; religious and social education are equally essential for a complete and truthful understanding. Moreover, religious and social education stem from the virtuous legacy passed down by our predecessors.
A region is thus formed, and where the principles of social order and harmony are implemented, there will be peace and stability in the human world. Only by existing within such a space can one avoid being bullied or invaded by outsiders. This also establishes a model of good and just governance, relying on the principles of ethical norms and moral standards to guide all human beings.
Through the inheritance of ethical and moral principles that have spanned tens of thousands of years, humanity establishes a framework within a society, nation, or region that fosters a stable and harmonious way of life. This authentic mode of existence, in turn, influences both present and future generations, determining whether they can achieve lasting peace and prosperity characterized by comfort, convenience, and universality.
Observing the process of education and cultural cultivation among all human beings, we see how it shapes a smooth and favorable orientation toward survival. It is precisely this smooth existence, which humanity has long pursued as a desire, that gives rise to beneficial living functions—as manifested in the principles of "social order, ethical norms, and moral codes."
Human beings dwell in existence, where comfort, convenience, and ease are widespread and accessible.
All sentient beings delight in a life free from worry and full of sincerity.
The Great Way unites all in growth,  
All sentient beings are alike.
One must not overstep the bounds of discipline;  
Growth and elevation come through promotion and expansion.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. It addresses the insights from the eighth chapter of the *Sutra of the True Buddha Heart of the Supreme Ultimate Great Dao*, enabling all sentient beings to genuinely progress, elevate, and transcend. Let us strive together! In doing so, we will truly benefit ourselves, benefit all humanity, and bring blessings to future generations.
It is precisely by benefiting oneself while benefiting others, and benefiting others while benefiting oneself, that one follows the true path! Your teacher has come again today. Are you prepared? Oh! Quite abundantly indeed! No wonder you have been so diligent. The celestial Buddhas and teachers are also very pleased—in Taiwanese, "pleased." This brings everyone increased blessings and wisdom, dispels karmic obstacles, and adds a touch of prosperity. Would you like it?
How wonderful! The great work of the Da Dao family is nearly complete, and our immortal and buddha teachers can finally set aside a major concern. Beyond the upcoming thirty-seven volumes, there remain four more to be written. Let us all join hands in promoting this endeavor! Thank you, everyone. Your immortal and buddha teachers are already urging us onward. Very well! Until we meet again!

The Southern Screen stands as a mighty shield, spreading its grandeur far and wide;  
Within the sea, pearls of truth shine forth, pure and wise.

Chapter on the Great Way of the Heart-Mind: 58.
The world relies on the family as its foundation. In the process of evolving and transcending for sentient beings, this reliance in the human world addresses all worldly affairs, fostering growth through nurturing roles. It further promotes virtuous development, and within a family, it manifests as the radiance of maternal love and the virtue of mutual care.
In this human world, it is necessary for every family to be blessed by two bodhisattvas who bring fulfillment. They play a fundamental role in providing good care for the children and descendants, while also embodying the interdependent relationship of "maternal radiance and paternal glory" in the world. This connection supports the orientation of survival and is safeguarded through the protection of these two bodhisattvas.
Why must all human beings have a pair of parents to care for their descendants and ensure the mutual fulfillment of children and grandchildren? It is precisely under such extraordinary conditions of karma that the necessities of life emerge: clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and recreation. Through this essential sustenance of existence, humanity supports the daily rhythms of a comfortable and stable life.
It will incorporate clothing, food, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment into daily life, with interdependent conditions arising to manifest within everyday existence. This contributes to the comfort, convenience, and accessibility of survival. In the present era, sentient beings thus possess favorable conditions and virtuous causes to progress upward and achieve transcendence.
The Chapter on the Heart of the Great Way (Part 2): 59.
The Great Dao as One Family: This means that in the human world, religion serves as a family that fulfills both faith and the orientation of daily existence, while also guiding the evolution of humanity toward greater perfection. Within this framework, caring for descendants and future generations by parents represents the innate and effortless essence of this original body, elevating human evolution to a higher level of life.
Manifestation of Arising: The grace of parents is higher than the heavens and deeper than the earth. It is for this reason that humanity is guided to "repay parental kindness through filial piety." Such exceptional conditions, precisely directed toward humankind, foster the evolution of benevolent order in the human world. Thus arises the realization: I am nurtured by the virtuous grace of my parents and grandparents.
Only then can genuine growth occur; how else can human beings repay the grace of their parents' nurturing? Therefore, there must be a wholesome reliance on the "radiance of motherhood." For all in the human world, it is essential to continually strengthen this concept of family, while simultaneously elevating the virtuous act of "practicing filial piety to repay parental kindness" among humanity.
At the same time, there arises a mutual orientation toward fulfilling all aspects of existence, and the care and grace of parents and grandparents are deeply imprinted in the eighth consciousness. The hardships of nurturing and care are also passed down to future generations, from one generation to the next, from one lifetime to another, never straying from the guidance of virtuous principles.
To further guide humanity towards a peaceful world, and to enable all living beings to coexist harmoniously in this human realm, this original cause of the "Great Dao Heart Sect" also truthfully directs humanity to uphold filial piety. It aims to bring mutual fulfillment to both the present and future generations of descendants, thereby creating a comfortable and harmonious family life.
This kind of causal condition fosters virtuous regulations, ensuring that marriage is not treated lightly or dissolved arbitrarily. This is the great compassion and grace bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon humanity, enabling the establishment of wholesome marital relationships while also resolving the predicaments of divorce. It is the profound benevolence of the Heavenly Realm in the human world, forming the foundation of all virtuous teachings in religions!
Chapter on the Heart of the Great Way (Part Three): 60.
When the great Dao bestows its grace upon the human world, it manifests as the harmony of a family, simultaneously dissolving all barriers and grievances between husband and wife. In truth, it can be said that as long as both parties take a step back, confrontational words can be reduced, all harmful conflicts between spouses can be resolved, and the sweetness of their former affection can be restored.
Do these human beings share a closer relationship? Consider also how past generations, such as grandparents and parents, navigated their lives. Such conditions of karma often lead to conflicts between spouses, where neither side yields, resulting in verbal harm. It is essential to dissolve all confrontations and transform them into harmony within the human world.
In truth, there is often no deep-seated animosity between husband and wife involved. Most conflicts arise merely from trivial household matters. However, when neither side demonstrates a willingness to yield, disputes arise, which can lead to unnecessary separation. If both parties soften their words just a little, by contrast, many couples would not end up parting ways as bitter adversaries.
In this world, nothing is more troubling than when one party insists on quarreling and the other refuses to yield—all for the sake of pride. This prevents both partners in a marriage from growing and improving in a healthy way. As long as neither truly desires separation, their conflicts often arise from heated emotions and stubbornness in speech, where neither is willing to back down, leading to endless arguments.
Under such circumstances, it is essential for a couple to genuinely care for each other, lest pretense becomes reality—a truly helpless situation! Remember, the greatest fear is that acting out a false affection might lead to a genuine entanglement from which there is no turning back. The relationship between husband and wife should be sweet by nature; quarrels and conflicts arise only when love is absent. Reflect on the children who grow up lacking parental affection—why stubbornly persist and harm yourself?
Chapter on the Great Dao and Truth: 61.
The Truth of the Great Dao: It relies on the necessity of wisdom. This wisdom encompasses all past karmic connections, bringing to light all original ignorance and obstacles from the past. At the same time, it manifests clarity in the present moment, giving rise to goodness. If one can thoroughly comprehend and discern the innate clarity of humanity from past lives, this wisdom is realized.
Human beings would then be free from both ignorance and knowledge; this condition of causality, in relation to sentient beings, must be experienced through their own personal sensations, relying on a concept to grow. It also aligns with the evolutionary process of heaven and earth, attaching to the various natures and forms that arise in human beings, and integrating into their thoughts and concepts.
This also shapes the two distinct entities within humanity: the "heart demon and the heart Buddha." As the saying goes in the mortal world: "When virtue rises by a foot, evil rises by ten; when virtue rises by ten, evil looms overhead." Consequently, among all humans on the Earthly Nether Star, the Buddha-nature ranks consist of only thirteen levels, whereas the demonic nature encompasses twenty levels.
Therefore, many obstacles are bound to arise, making them fundamentally impossible to resolve. If one seeks to transcend the space of the Earthly Obscure Star within this context, it will manifest as mutual discrepancies across more than three hundred and sixty levels of attainment. In this situation, where "a tiny deviation can lead to a great error," one must deeply contemplate: why do human beings possess a basis for "genuine realization of the Dao"?
Without the reliance of having attained the fruit of enlightenment, one must, in contrast, follow all the principles established by Heaven to determine whether, in the present moment, one truly possesses such reliance or merely claims to have realized the fruit within personal experience! Such conditions make it fundamentally impossible for sentient beings among humanity to ascend and transcend.
Chapter on the Great Dao's Profound Wisdom: 62.
The Wisdom of the Great Dao: All human beings possess inherent goodness to rely upon, and they also accumulate past experiences to apply them in the present moment. It is essential for humanity to truly understand this, encompassing all aspects: knowledge, concepts, mindset, and actions for growth. At the same time, all past experiences from the human world are borrowed and applied as guidance.
It is precisely by integrating into one's own mindset and perspective that one begins to reflect: How should I proceed? What actions should I take? I must truly elevate and transcend! At this moment, regarding humanity and all beings, is there a genuine return to goodness and transcendence? This is observed in daily life—whether one can draw upon and share one's everyday experiences.
This is the fundamental cause and condition for all sentient beings, which also gives rise to what kind of causal entity one will become in the future. It is precisely what benefits oneself while simultaneously benefiting all human beings, thereby fostering genuine, wholesome, and favorable conditions for continuous growth and elevation. Moreover, with such exceptional conditions, one is bound to reap immense rewards in the present moment.
Chapter on Truth and Wisdom: 63.
Truth: It is based on the principle that the vast heavens and earth, along with the cosmic galaxies, all exist through a condition of mutual emergence. In the practice of religious faith, whether sentient beings possess the inherent capacity to fully embody the conduct of a practitioner will determine if they can manifest, in their daily lives, the observance of religious precepts and regulations, which is essential to uphold.
At the same time, by enhancing the establishment of such regulations and frameworks in the present moment, it will become evident that humanity will inevitably experience growth and transcendence in goodness. This arises from the application of accumulated knowledge and wisdom in the here and now, thereby allowing truth to take root in the human world and be upheld through wise practice.
In the world of human affairs, as all virtuous and favorable causes and conditions develop, it is also necessary to thoroughly rectify and transform past shortcomings, deficiencies, and mistakes. One must deeply understand: How should I strive for greater growth and transcendence? This leads to the question: How should one make choices for oneself? Only then can one truly progress and return to a higher state in the journey of life and the ways of the world.
The Chapter of the Great Dao as One Family: 64.
The Great Dao is One Family: It is a state of non-distinction—small families, medium families, and large families—all mutually supporting one another in a spirit of unity, for unity brings great strength! This strength of unity will also manifest truthfully in outward expansion, giving rise to what is called harmony and unity! And among all human beings and sentient beings, who then is the sage who follows the true path?
There is none at all! Hence, it results in human beings, to varying degrees, having deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors that require cultivation and correction. This leads to the question: What are human beings meant to accomplish after descending into the human world? They fundamentally fail to understand: How should I act in the present moment? Consequently, they become unable to comprehend that coming to the Earth Star is not merely about procreation and continuing the family line?
The purpose of coming into this world is merely to produce a multitude of descendants; moreover, there is not even the notion of upward growth and elevation! How can such human beings achieve virtuous progress? It is too difficult! They only remain in the mortal realm, generation after generation, cycle after cycle, repeatedly reincarnating and passing down their legacy to their offspring.
This extraordinary set of causes and conditions can be described as the sum of all your achievements in this present life, which will shape the fortunes of your descendants. For those beyond three generations, the connection becomes unclear; in extended families, it was once possible for four or even five generations to live together under one roof. Yet in today’s era, it is rare to witness a harmonious four-generation household living in unity.
In the present era, human beings once again take themselves as the fundamental unit, and they even regard everything in the human world according to their own standards. This has shattered the virtuous tradition of five generations living harmoniously under one roof from the past—truly lamentable! Essentially, there is no longer the harmonious and joyful family affection that once thrived across time and space, nurturing and preserving the legacy of kindness.
Chapter of the Great Dao as One Family (Part 2): 65.
The Dao operates spontaneously and naturally. A single household, situated within the space between heaven and earth, is called a small family. When all such small families gather within a single community, a sense of national identity emerges, forming what is known as a middle family. Then, all the nations across various regions coexist within the space of the Diming Star.
Thus, it has also formed: the union of one nation with another; conversely, it has also created, in relation to the entire Earthly Star space, one vast extended family. Human beings fundamentally lack this very concept of integrating into it, knowing only their own small family unit, and then the fusion of a single nation.
Few are able to truly comprehend: for the entirety of the Earth, it is but one large family—a global village! In the present era, humanity relies first on small families, then extends to intermediate communities, and ultimately merges into a greater whole. This process inevitably requires the space of the Earth, which also tightly binds all human beings together.
At this moment, it can be understood for all humanity: if the Earth faces calamity, everyone can extend compassion to one another, offering mutual care and support! This is simply the shared survival orientation of humanity and all living beings, united within the space of the Earth.
Chapter on the Great Dao and the Cosmos: 66.
Within the cosmos, there exist: a small family, a medium family, and a large family, which together form the living space for humanity. It can be said that every human being descends into the world with a unique mission, each possessing distinct personalities and interests, thereby projecting their individual energies outward.
When cosmic galaxies interact and merge, such human beings, as generators of energy, are distinguished by different races, different karmic connections, and different energies. At the same time, as decreed by the Heavenly Providence, when human beings descend into the mortal world, each individual is endowed with a form of memory storage—what humans refer to as the implantation of an IC microchip within.
It is understood that every action I take, all phenomena arising in the present moment, are inseparable from the memories stored within my own IC micro-crystal. There is no distinction between how things were in past lives, how they are in the present life, or how they may become in future lives. All of these—past, present, and future—are faithfully recorded within my own IC micro-crystal.
It will never be erased: every action I have taken and every word I have spoken are recorded in detail and stored truthfully within my own IC micro-crystal, manifesting the entire process of all my past "emergence of ignorance," present "beneficial manifestation as it is," and future "transcendent emergence of growth."
Regarding the technological civilization of humanity, it is certain to transform and elevate the various civilizations of the present, representing a substantial and genuine leap forward in growth. Within no more than fifty years, the advent of virtual reality in the future will become a tangible reality, and it will also elevate and transcend human thought and perspectives.
To manifest truthfully in the present moment, with regard to the future, regardless of each time and space, which is largely dominated by technological civilization, in all aspects of human life, it will surely bring great benefits and gains to oneself! It will also, within the framework of human morality, truthfully curb the potential loss of control over future technology!
The Heart of the Great Way reveals maternal virtue;  
Its radiance must shine forth with unwavering truth.
Sentient beings journey through life,  
Inheriting the essence of humanity as their own.
Truth and wisdom in the mortal realm must be chosen through mutual causes and conditions.
The Great Dao unites all as one family,  
In harmony and joy, blessings and virtue extend beyond.
This verse! It is for all human beings to encourage one another; it also signifies that all thirty-six volumes of the Heavenly Texts of the Great Dao series—The True Buddha Heart Sutra of the Wuji Great Dao—have now been fully completed. Moreover, it truthfully reflects the significant growth of the Chongxin lineage over these eighteen years! Today, witnessing the return of the Malaysian disciples is truly worthy of celebration and congratulations!
It can be seen that the lineage of the Chongxin Sect is by no means an ordinary or mediocre sect. For all sentient beings among humanity, it will genuinely foster growth and transcendence. If one merely seeks to understand and experience what is encompassed and realized in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," the 36 volumes dedicated to truly "illuminating the mind, perceiving one’s nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruits" are already sufficient for humanity’s application.
For humanity, how can we transcend and return to a higher state of existence? It is essential to observe all the good causes and conditions within sentient beings, using them as a foundation for growth and transcendence. In truth, such exceptional circumstances are achieved step by step, with each footprint firmly planted, earned through one’s own diligent efforts. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship along this journey. Farewell, and until we meet again!
The Limitless is selfless and without bias; the Commander of the Central Altar ascends the stage to convene.
Greetings to all virtuous students,  
In the great Dao, we are one family, blessed with joy and virtue.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the principal guiding immortal of the Great Dao series, Teacher Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended and returned to the Chongxin lineage. He offers the essence of all the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," while also providing a comprehensive analysis of the ninth chapter of the *Wuji Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sutra*.
Although the writing process took a bit longer, it still feels incomplete, so let us leave the rest for other enlightened teachers to continue in the future! I also extend my gratitude to everyone for accompanying us through these eighteen years, for your unwavering dedication, and for writing without delay or tardiness. Truly, thank you all for your selfless and effortless contributions.
This is the achievement of the Chongxin lineage, persevering to the end and perfecting the fulfillment of causes and conditions! The road ahead remains long, and I hope everyone will continue to move forward courageously as always, achieving genuine growth and transcendence in the future. Are you all willing? Thank you for accompanying this work. The *Wuji Dadao Zhenfo Xinjing* has now been completed.
Once it goes to press, it will truly be present in the world, ready to meet everyone face to face! If there are no other matters, tomorrow the Zen teachings will dispel confusion, and many virtuous connections will come seeking guidance. It is essential to receive them with warmth and sincerity, for this offers everyone a valuable opportunity to learn and grow in goodness. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

##Nanping Daiji Ancient Buddha
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Wuji Great Dao Academy was established,  
with the Tongtian Cult Leader's virtuous intent.
The Heavenly Lord of Salvation descends to demonstrate,  
A time for filial piety and repaying kindness in the mortal realm.
The Heavenly Master Tongtian said: Since the establishment of Chongxin Hall, nearly eighteen years have passed. This has been made possible by the grace of the heavens bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage, which is guided by the "Dadao Series of Heavenly Books." Through such extraordinary conditions and affinities, it can be understood that in the human world, there exists a unique and remarkable "Dadao Series of Heavenly Books," revealed for the benefit of all sentient beings.
It also relies on all the teachings and causes in the human world to foster growth. This kind of reliance on the human world brings about a significant elevation and transcendence. At the same time, it enables sentient beings to understand that within a single lifetime, one can ascend and transcend. Therefore, some religious believers also immerse themselves in their faith.
However, one cannot discern: how does this interplay of causes and conditions function? Conversely, it is also impossible to understand why, within a single lifetime, one can ascend and transcend. Thus, all religious faiths and practices in this human world have yet to truly enter into a form of teaching and karma of a considerably elevated level!
It is fundamentally impossible to truly comprehend why human beings possess such extraordinary conditions and karmic affinities. In truth, it all boils down to the choices made through "human effort"—the distinction between what one chooses to accept or reject determines whether one grows or not. In this world, when it comes to religious faith, many have yet to genuinely enter its profound depths.
The Compassionate Celestial Worthy said: Let it be understood by humanity that regarding religious faith, should one rely solely on the scriptures of the past for cultivation? Or is it merely a matter of intellectual understanding! Only the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," bestowed upon the world by the Heavens in the present age, can bring thorough comprehension, enabling one to realize how to ascend and grow!
Thus, the heavens also follow all the habits of humanity, evolving the sublime resources bestowed upon the world by all the heavenly immortals, Buddhas, and teachers of the heavens, entering the opportunity for their own growth. This kind of sublime cause and condition in the human world, for all human beings, regardless of race or national beliefs, is mutually supportive.
For all future ascendants in the mortal realm, they can truly comprehend that through nearly eighteen years of immersion in the "Dadao Series" publications by the Chongxin lineage, it can be said that these teachings have already spread throughout the celestial realms and the earthly star, and have even yielded virtuous fruits in return! This benefits sentient beings in their ascension.
This kind of existence in the human world, whether through religion, human science, human medicine, or cultural education, has been passed down and can be said to have already established some achievements for all human beings! It has also provided great assistance to humanity, and through human efforts, it has fostered the growth of valuable knowledge.
Regarding the understanding of the evolution of galaxies in the vast universe, and through the existence of various celestial bodies, this is what Buddhist scriptures refer to as: the Pure Lands of all beings! Therefore, in the present era, the existence of the boundless celestial realms of the universe will provide significant assistance to the scientific advancement of the Earth-Ming galaxy system. Through this evolution, humanity will also benefit from future growth.
Therefore, for sentient beings, they should analogize themselves and genuinely strive for elevation and transcendence. Moreover, such exceptional conditions in the human world must be met with considerable merit for all realms of existence. Relying on the advancement of future technological civilization, humanity is to stride toward greater growth.
Through the actions and endeavors of humanity, greater evolutionary benefits are achieved. Simultaneously, in response to the future advancements of technological civilization, there will emerge a "true energy body" capable of departing from the spatial confines of Earth, which will transform into a "quantitative energy body" after its departure. By this time, human technological civilization will have evolved to the level of cosmic star systems.
The Supreme Lord of Heaven said: The lineage of the Chongxin Sect also holds the extraordinary conditions of karmic affinity, which pertain to the functional role of issues that will arise in the future, as well as the bearing of all "blessings and calamities." A portion of these have been imparted into the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," enabling humanity to discern and understand how to resolve all the challenges of future technological civilization.
This obstacle also elevates and transcends all past ignorance, creating a greater beneficial space for the evolution of the human world. It is precisely through the "borrowing of talents" and the gathering and return of the four billion Buddha's disciples that there can be virtuous growth and transcendence for the future sentient beings, thereby benefiting all humanity.
Otherwise, the growth and elevation of future civilization will be continuously delayed and hindered. Therefore, through great compassion and benevolent grace, the Heavenly Way also rectifies and transforms all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors within the human world. By evolving the inheritance of humanity endlessly, it bestows blessings and benefits upon all sentient beings.
In all educational and cultural curricula, it is essential to provide the conditions and opportunities for moral cultivation to take root in people's hearts, thereby fostering future growth toward goodness and transcendence. Moreover, such temporal and conditional opportunities, in alignment with the evolution of heaven and earth as well as the unfolding of the cosmos, will simultaneously benefit the Diming star system and resolve all previously unresolved issues.
Within the compassionate grace of the Immortal Buddhas and Teachers of the Chongxin lineage, all sentient beings and humanity are sheltered and nurtured. This serves to preemptively analyze and dissect future calamities for all humankind, enabling mutual support among all. Moreover, through the interconnectedness of human technological civilization, past obstacles in the human world are also resolved.
This refers to the fact that in the course of the evolution of heaven and earth, for the human beings of the current era, there will inevitably emerge a considerable degree of convenience and universality in development. Taking the present era as an example: all technological advancements benefit humanity in terms of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment, each offering widespread accessibility and convenience.
Through the functionality of video transmission, we are able to access broader realms of knowledge and wisdom, while simultaneously dissolving past barriers. Moreover, the technological civilization of our current era can confirm the vastness of the cosmos, revealing how human beings, originating from different star systems, have descended into this world. Yet, why must it be so?
The Compassionate Celestial Worthy said: As for the so-called "borrowing of generals," in truth, it is because that star system has already failed to meet the standards, and thus they are sent down to the human world to reform and transform themselves. This is the great compassion and grace of Heaven, which bestows upon them the honorable title of "borrowed generals," granting everyone a glorious and extraordinary opportunity.
At the same time, while engaging in invention and creation, there will also be opportunities for revision and improvement. This instills in everyone a sense of honor in contributing to the evolution of all civilizations in the human world. For all humanity, it also frequently cultivates virtuous "seeds of consciousness" within the eightfold cognition, thereby highlighting the essence of one's actions and deeds.
In this way, all inventors of "borrowing talents" will gain a greater title to carry out the reformation of the "Earthly Obscure Star" in the human world. It also allows sentient beings to simultaneously share in a portion of the merit, integrating it into themselves, which will feel quite glorious. By this time, it will have already been passed down to future generations among humanity!
Conversely, this energy entity can be relied upon to support the favorable karmic conditions—embodied in the "RNA"—for future generations. At the same time, it enables the global propagation of the "New Three Guiding Principles." Humanity can thus discern the necessity of integrating genuine ethical virtues into the fabric of their own existence.
Only then can the blessings of goodness be incorporated into it, bestowing upon the human world the opportunity to evolve these ancient principles anew. This will foster favorable karmic connections for all future human beings, preventing technological civilization from spiraling out of control once more, and simultaneously safeguarding the hard-earned accumulation of civilization and technology in the human world.
With the untamed arrogance of humanity leading to the harm of all sentient beings, this represents a loss of control in civilization that the heavens least wish to see. It underscores the necessity of incorporating preventive measures into educational and cultural curricula, deeply embedding them in people's hearts. Only by doing so can we reduce the calamities befalling compassionate human beings, which is the true path forward.
Savior Celestial Worthy:
The Great Tao series is gradually being completed,
As future human technology ascends.
Step by step, each footprint left behind  
Is an achievement in the journey of life.
Master Tongtian:
Everyone has the duty of filial piety to repay kindness; it is only necessary to understand and cultivate heavenly virtue.
When future generations fulfill their filial duties, human affection can achieve fulfillment.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement for all fellow human beings; it also brings understanding to those with empathy. In the journey of civilization's evolution, regardless of time and space, every individual will inevitably face the moment of passing. By integrating the principles of filial piety and gratitude into the lives of humanity, we pave a path of goodness and light for our own future journey.
This grace of great compassion from Heaven has long established the path of "filial piety in repayment of gratitude, and elevation of ancestral spirits." For deceased ancestors and virtuous yet aggrieved karmic connections, it can greatly reduce the need for aimless searching, enabling their elevation and entry into the school of "proclaiming Heaven's teachings and embodying Heaven's way"—this is the correct path! Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. Gratitude to everyone. Farewell!

讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Supreme Loyal and Righteous Emperor of Literary Balance,  
Who comprehends the period of ignorance among all beings.
A great cause arises in the human realm,  
Creating a land of filial piety to repay kindness.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Academy's esteemed leader, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure (Tongtian Jiaozhu), and the deputy leader, the Heavenly Lord of Great Compassion and Salvation (Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun), have descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." This marks a sublime connection bestowed by the Heavenly Virtue upon the Chongxin lineage.
Thus, as decreed by Heaven and recorded in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," it is formed that there will be mutual and truthful manifestations to the human world, emerging as a multitude of human beings. In the future, each individual will face the conclusion of "mortality and transcendence." How, then, can one achieve virtuous elevation and return to transcendence? Observe and reflect upon one’s own present actions and the principles upheld!
Furthermore, it is truly heartening to see the disciples from Malaysia today, who have traveled a long distance to return to the Chongxin lineage for study. This journey of the Malaysian disciples is hereby affirmed and blessed!
Malaysia fosters auspicious bonds, returning to reverence enriches blessings.
The Dadao Series Books: Choose to Grow and Elevate Yourself
What lofty insights does Zongsheng Qiu have to offer?
Sincerely guiding across with selflessness — if there is inherent goodness, it is truly so.
One must not forget righteousness at the sight of gain;  
Only then will virtue grow and blessings be bestowed.
Go back and reflect carefully, then discuss everything with Leader; there will be no hindrance, understand? If there are any shortcomings or deficiencies, you may return and inquire! Very well, I wish everyone a smooth journey and success in spreading the teachings in Malaysia. You have worked hard! Tomorrow is Wednesday again; all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Everyone has been working hard lately—thank you, and farewell!

##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipankara
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Great Dao series is nearing completion,  
Spreading its benevolent influence across the universe.
A Family United in the Celestial Book Series, Completing the Submission of Texts to the Heavenly Court.
Maitreya Buddha said: For humanity to evolve and transcend through the elevation of the mind and spirit, it is essential to have virtuous foundations as support. This manifests as a higher-level educational karmic course for sentient beings. In the same way, within the framework of human evolution through religious faith, virtuous karma will continuously grow and ascend.
From the perspective of the human world, this allows for the elevation of greater goodness. It can be said that in the human realm, regardless of religious sects or lineages, all share this same cause and condition. Evolution, for every human being, enables a return to transcendence and the formation of one's true self. This provides the foundation for "illuminating the mind, realizing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition."
For sentient beings, there exists a higher-level teaching and causal foundation, enabling oneself to transcend upward in this very lifetime. Human beings, under such exceptional conditions, evolve to surpass what they have not achieved in the past. In the human world, it becomes apparent that one must possess favorable causal conditions for oneself.
For every human being to achieve ascension and transcendence, this condition of karmic affinity also exists within the human world. Through the great compassionate virtue of the Heavenly Realm, it has been bestowed upon Jambudvipa, specifically in Taiwan's Bade—the Yichong Chongxin Sect. This, in essence, means that the Eight Virtues serve as a foundation of faith upon which human beings rely.
At the same time, the regulations of human ethics and morality are manifested through the reliance on the Eight Virtues. It is precisely because of the adherence to these Eight Virtues in the human world that sentient beings can distinguish: within the framework established by the Eight Virtues lies the inheritance of ancient ethics in human society, which provides a foundation for goodness: the framework upon which human ethics and morality depend.
The Tathagata of Purifying the Heart said: Let the human world also have good and virtuous causes and conditions, promoting a state and nation where people live and work in peace and contentment! Regarding the Chongxin lineage, the Heavens bestowed the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and the Jade Edict of Haotian eighteen years ago, along with the personal decree of the Great Chairman, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wengheng.
Advancing the Chongxin Sect lineage step by step toward a more complete and sublime destiny, it has also established in the human world, for the first time in history, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, dedicated to guiding and elevating the departed souls of loved ones into its teachings. Furthermore, it has elevated all sacred duties of the Chongxin Sect lineage to a higher level of educational and transformative destiny.
From the perspective of a religious lineage, this represents a steady, step-by-step ascent and growth. Reflecting on the past eighteen years, it can be said to be profoundly genuine! For all the deities, buddhas, and students of the Chongxin lineage, this constitutes a history of human evolution and development—a journey anchored in and guided by the Chongxin lineage.
Regarding the cultivation of the heart, it is essential to take one firm step before advancing to the next. This has facilitated the Great Master of Heaven and Humanity, the Ancient Buddha Nama Dipamkara, to lead the four Buddhist sages and founders in establishing the only True Buddha Heart School in the human realm. This school is dedicated to guiding the return and transcendence of four hundred million Buddha disciples. As a result, there has been substantial and virtuous growth.
Through the great compassionate virtue and grace of the Supreme Heaven, it is further manifested below: within the Da Dao Xin Zong, the Immortal Maiden of Wuji Jiutian Xuannü (Mother) responds and manifests in the Chongxin lineage. She truthfully elevates the entirety to further growth and, likewise, revises and transforms all past deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors within the Zhenfo Xin Zong.
To sincerely enable sentient beings to align with the primary framework of the overall "Great Way True Buddha Heart Sect," this endeavor has been propagated and expanded through the virtue and grace of the Supreme Venerable Mother of Mount Li, the Limitless Void Wuji. It has now gradually entered its eighteenth year, faithfully addressing the fundamental causes and conditions of all people, matters, and things within the Chongxin Sect.
By truthfully elevating the knowledge and concepts of all students and disciples, wisdom is accumulated through growth, thereby forming: the "Consciousness-Only doctrine" of the supreme affinity bestowed by Heaven. This holds great potential for the future sentient beings of humanity, enabling them to genuinely advance, transcend, and ascend. Regarding Chongxin, the entire series, comprising thirty-six volumes in total, is gradually nearing completion.
This kind of gathering will yield considerable returns. In the future, human beings will be able to truly comprehend the analysis of the entire "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," which means that the entire Buddhist supreme doctrine, the "Introduction to Consciousness-Only Theory," will descend into the human world, benefiting all sentient beings and enabling them to ascend and transcend!
The Ancient Buddha Maitreya said: This extraordinary condition and opportunity can very truthfully lead to a greater evolutionary growth and benefit for all human beings in their thoughts and concepts. Furthermore, within the Buddhist tradition, this extraordinary condition has its foundation in the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra. For Buddhist disciples who are just beginning their practice, to fully comprehend this Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra without eating, drinking, or sleeping would require thirty years of dedicated effort.
It can only bring about the resolution of a single cause and condition; yet now, with the great compassionate grace of Heaven, it can reduce the thirty years of groping in the dark for sentient beings, enabling them to achieve a simple resolution and a more authentic elevation of faith. At the same time, it allows sentient beings to apply the specialized knowledge of "Consciousness-Only theory" in their daily lives.
This fundamental aspect of human existence remains largely unrecognized: Do I apply it every day? Moreover, humanity is unable to comprehend the profound grace bestowed by Heaven upon all beings, lacking even such a conceptual understanding! Yet, in truth, for every individual, every day, every hour, and every moment, the principles of "Consciousness-Only" are being meticulously applied.
In fact, the Chongxin lineage is precisely the same at this very moment! Let us reflect: now that you have entered Chongxin, are you not currently engaged in the Dadao series? Given this, I ask everyone: who is listening to the revelations of the immortals and buddhas? Who is reading them? Who is applying their heart and mind? And who truly benefits and gains from them? This process involves the sensory perception of all our external faculties.
Is it necessary to utilize the sensations perceived by the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body? And what about the extraordinary aspects of all causal conditions? Have we all applied these to every human being: the eyes observing forms, the ears hearing sounds, the nose breathing, along with the recitations performed by the six departments of personnel, in relation to the "Transmission of Heavenly Sounds" composed by the immortal and Buddha teachers?
Does the invocation of a physical form to venerate the Heart Sect lineage utilize it entirely? Such human beings, in the present context, arise through the application of the principles of "Consciousness-Only" theory. This encompasses all actions and behaviors, which are also guided by the specialized and profound understanding of "Consciousness-Only" studies. Moreover, being thoroughly proficient in this, there will be no inappropriate actions or behaviors.
As the saying goes in the world: then there will be no more stumbling! All such actions and behaviors in the world are already mastered through practice. As for the principles of Consciousness-Only, if they have been applied to a sufficiently proficient degree, there will be no issues of right or wrong, or any disputes whatsoever. Human beings are precisely the result of such conditions of cause and effect.
Relying on the specialized application of "Consciousness-Only doctrine" for support, there will be no discomfort or incoherence—is this not the case? In every moment and circumstance, it is precisely so! Moreover, it can very truthfully enable everyone to jointly facilitate the arising and concluding conditions of each matter, thereby achieving upward growth and accomplishment!
Moreover, if sentient beings among humanity fail to realize that I apply the specialized principles of Consciousness-Only theory every single day, they may not recognize the profound benefits of properly utilizing this doctrine! This is precisely what is meant by "consciousness-only," also known as "vijñapti-mātra." In truth, human beings apply the refined principles of Consciousness-Only theory every day, every hour, every moment, and every second.
However, one cannot discern its application in one's own life—that from birth to old age and death, every day, every hour, every moment is the same—all are nurtured through the "principles of consciousness-only," benefiting all sentient beings and the myriad creatures of the world. Yet, human beings are hindered by far too many obscurations of ignorance that block this understanding.
The Tathagata of Mind Rectification said: Human beings have never been able to comprehend that the sublime truth of Buddhism is, in fact, the true doctrine of "consciousness-only," also known as the specialized study of consciousness-only. Humanity fundamentally fails to distinguish this, and for this reason, they have persistently sought externally, lost in the illusions of sages, immortals, buddhas, and bodhisattvas.
It is fundamentally impossible to realize: that one is oneself a "Buddha," descending into the world of human existence to cultivate and transform anew! All the ignorance and obstacles in the human world have consistently hindered sentient beings from entering religious faith, and they have always believed that only the figure enshrined in the temple hall can be called the true Buddha.
Yet one cannot discern that the self beneath the Buddha hall is the true Buddha. Such a concept cannot even enter the storehouse consciousness of sentient beings. Moreover, one perceives that the self beneath the Buddha hall is a past Buddha, and the one seated above is also a past Buddha. If so, where then is the future Buddha? Do you understand? None of this exists!
Yet you fail to recognize: beneath the Buddha Hall, all beings are Buddhas of the past, merely here now to undergo renewal! I ask you all: Can you discern where the future Buddhas reside? They are none other than yourselves! When can you attain Buddhahood? You lack even the most fundamental confidence, and even believe it utterly impossible that you yourselves could be the future Buddhas!
Precisely because one is a Buddha of the past, existing and living in the present world (as a Buddha), can one move? Yes! However, if one is unable to unveil all of one's own delusions, it will lead to a lack of confidence even in oneself. As for being a Buddha of the future, when can one actually become a Buddha (alive)? It seems there is no confidence at all!
Such extraordinary conditions and causes are present, yet if one lacks confidence oneself, how can one possibly attain Buddhahood? It is highly improbable! Moreover, because in the human world, a great majority of people inevitably face the pressures of life, which leads sentient beings to fundamentally lack the confidence to evolve into Buddhas, leaving them able only to live out their existence.
In this kind of life, the cycle repeats itself, seemingly unchanging. Today passes, tomorrow will be the same, and the day after even more so, forming a pattern where one day follows another. Unable to alter such circumstances of human existence, and failing to recognize oneself as a future Buddha (alive), one inevitably becomes aware of all inadequacies and shortcomings.
It is also necessary to correct and transform all errors before there can be an opportunity to attain Buddhahood (life). Do you all have faith? Having a little faith is still not enough! It is essential to encourage everyone well, to achieve the Buddha in life, which is to attain Buddhahood (life). This requires engaging with all aspects of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
One must truthfully provide the conditions for all that is called: the children of the Buddha—that is, the Buddha's disciples—in all the favorable causes and circumstances within the human world, accumulating experiences involved in the entire process of survival. After several decades, have the Buddha's disciples grown up? It can certainly be said: they will have come to life (attained Buddhahood), is that not so!
Tathagata of the Mind's Principle:
Life is fleeting, so grow up quickly; do not squander the hardships of living.
The Buddha's disciple, becoming a person, is as it should be;  
In the future, returning to the heavens, one shall reach.
Maitreya, the Ancient Buddha:
A lifetime of enduring hardship and toil will lead to a good and prosperous life.
Change comes through shifts in thought and perception; growth and return have already achieved Buddhahood.
This verse is shared among all fellow human beings for mutual encouragement; it also offers the nourishment and source of wisdom bestowed by all the immortal and enlightened teachers in the Dadao series of celestial texts. It provides everyone with a highly elevated course of teachings, enabling each to genuinely advance both their greater family and their immediate household step by step, thus achieving continuous growth and elevation.
This is aimed at large families, promoting and spreading all good causes and virtuous connections, so that everyone may have the opportunity to genuinely advance toward the transcendence and return to the "Lotus Buddha Land." Thank you all for your hard work and companionship along the way. Farewell!

讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Great Dao series is gradually being completed, bringing forth blessings and prosperity for all sentient beings in the world.
Thirty-six volumes of heavenly scriptures have arrived,  
Returning to transcendence, as true as reality.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the revered Ancient Buddha Maitreya, the Future Descending Buddha, and the revered Buddha of the Awakened Heart, two venerable teachers, descended to complete the thirty-fifth chapter of "The Great Dao as One Family." This marks the gradual completion of all thirty-six volumes of the Great Dao series of celestial texts.
Regarding the human world, it is essential to grow upward in accordance with truth—this is the righteous path! Through such extraordinary conditions and causes, sentient beings evolve, simultaneously contemplating whether they can achieve the life of a Buddha in the future, and whether the Buddha exists within life itself. It sounds like a tongue twister, doesn’t it? Yet it is through this interplay that Buddha and life, life and Buddha, are realized!
To provide everyone with genuine faith, so as to achieve a return to transcendence; moreover, those of you who have already been nurtured by the most sublime human doctrine of "Consciousness-Only" can genuinely ascend and transcend, and will also truly attain the vehicle that leads to the Lotus Buddha Land! Do you all have faith? This is precisely a lifetime of hardship, for the transcendence of a hundred lifetimes.
For all of you, may you further grow, return, and transcend in accordance with truth! Tomorrow is another Saturday for Zen practice to break through delusions! Likewise, truthfully addressing the day after tomorrow, which is this month’s repentance ceremony, this session is expected to have many returning participants. Everyone must warmly welcome them, to strengthen the future vitality of the Chongxin lineage! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!

## Chongxin President, Celestial Worthy of Civilizing Enlightenment from the Void
◆ Postfaces & Praises ◆
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Dadao series is now complete,  
Eighteen years of diligent verification.
Expanding across the cosmos to promote,  
Human education is truly sublime.
The Old Mother of Mount Li said: Since the establishment of Chongxin Hall, nearly eighteen years have now passed. Regarding the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Chongxin lineage, it can be said that these are the only "Dadao Series Celestial Books" in the world today, bestowed with a supremely rare affinity. They provide humanity with guidance for cultivation and adjustment within religious faith, truly a most extraordinary affinity!
It also signifies that for all human beings, the essence of "Consciousness-Only Theory" can be described as the world's sole "Dadao Series of Celestial Books," which has now drawn to a close today. This series of books, intended for widespread dissemination, has also been the result of eighteen years of dedicated efforts by all the celestial immortals and buddhas who have served as teachers.
Across a thousand miles of clouded paths, amidst the weariness of boats and carriages, the Chongxin Sect lineage descended, authoring the world's sole "Dadao Series Classics." These works offer sentient beings of love and compassion an opportunity to ascend, grow, and transcend. That they are uniquely blessed is not without reason, and it is also a testament to the trials imposed by Heaven upon the Chongxin Sect lineage throughout these eighteen years.
To the one in charge, it can be said: Through great hardship, we have received the boundless compassion and grace of Heaven, allowing the true and sublime principles to descend upon the Chongxin lineage. This has brought forth a clear manifestation of all the arduous journey over these eighteen years, vividly present before our eyes, and truthfully conveyed through Heaven's "Celestial Voice Broadcast" for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Many virtuous and favorable causes and conditions will arise. All religious sects and lineages will also be elevated through what can be described as a "high-level educational and cultural curriculum." This can be said to be the ultimate in the world, and it is precisely the Chongxin Sect that embodies this! All human beings and sentient beings are bound to receive numerous virtuous benefits from it.
The Immortal Elder of Venus said: Ah! In the mortal realm, under the great virtue and teachings bestowed by Heaven, there are those who can genuinely comprehend the mortal world. Within the supreme principles of Buddhism, the conditions for "illuminating the mind, seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing fruition" have been authentically imparted to the mortal realm. Thus, one can discern that this is precisely the supreme principle of Buddhism.
Descending to transform within the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, it is precisely through the successive and repeated arduous efforts of the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers in composing and disseminating teachings to the human world that a remarkably rare and sublime affinity for all sentient beings has been cultivated. It can also be said that the conditions of this sublime affinity are not something that ordinary religions can easily comprehend or discern!
Similarly, for all disciples of the Buddha, the "truth of Consciousness-Only doctrine" manifests authentically in the human world, and is genuinely realized within it. This extraordinary affinity has led to the establishment of the Chongxin lineage, which relies on and upholds the dissemination of all works in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." To this day, this endeavor has been fully accomplished.
The Old Immortal thus takes advantage of the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin Sect lineage to compose this final work, feeling immensely honored. In fulfilling all duties toward Heaven, it ensures that the celestial immortals and buddhas—our teachers—can rest assured in full confidence. This is because, throughout these eighteen years, the Chongxin Sect lineage has never once fallen short, not in any instance or any turn of events.
With a firm will to accomplish the task, no distinction is made: whether it be natural disasters, human calamities, earthquakes, typhoons, or power outages, training proceeds according to schedule, and implementation follows the curriculum. This is precisely a testament to the "trustworthiness and reliability" of the Heavenly Realm! It is the most supreme condition of affinity that the Heavenly Realm has bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage, enabling such opportunities of affinity to be genuinely realized.
It is also formed at the moment when the heavens bestow all divine will upon the human world; simultaneously, on the other side, it tests whether the other party can fulfill all missions! Moreover, this kind of karmic condition is unique to the Chongxin lineage, which, regardless of any arduous process, has faithfully completed the compilation of the world's sole "Dadao Series Classics" over the past eighteen years!
It can be said: This is quite practical, ensuring that the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers of the heavens will not use the turbulent issues of the human world as an excuse to delay or postpone. Moreover, the Chongxin lineage absolutely will not cause any disruption to the courses or writings of the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers, adhering faithfully to the established schedule. Such steadfast determination is truly commendable, and for this, we are deeply grateful!
The Old Mother of Mount Li said: The Chongxin Sect lineage possesses the great vow power of Master Li Xin Chan, Hall Master Lin, and Academy Master Lin. Through the collective efforts of all students and sect members, they have accomplished the unparalleled and supreme "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." Moreover, they have faithfully transmitted this exceedingly rare "Celestial Sound Truth" down to the human world.
The establishment of the Chongxin lineage, through its eighteen years of practice, has allowed many mysteries of the human world and the cosmic heavens to be gradually revealed in the celestial texts. This enlightens all who enter the religious path, serving as an upward-driving force for elevation, rather than becoming a significant obstacle to oneself.
Simultaneously growing, elevating, and transcending, many secrets and methods that have never been imparted to the human world or even heard of before are fully and truthfully revealed in all the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This allows humanity to reduce the thirty to fifty years of trial and error typically spent in religious faith and practice! At the same time, it also diminishes the obstacles of ignorance for humankind.
There is a great opportunity, both for oneself and for the four billion followers of Buddhism, along with the ninety-two original spiritual beings, to "return, transcend, perfect, and ascend" within the growth of the great cosmic celestial realm. Moreover, this extraordinary set of conditions, as humanity aspires to grow and elevate through the void and the formless celestial realm, will yield even greater harvests and benefits.
Now it can be said that the completion of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" was accomplished in the fifth lunar month of the Jiawu year. Moreover, this extraordinary condition, in relation to all virtuous and favorable karmic connections within the human world, will genuinely benefit future generations of compassionate humanity. It will guide all paths of existence toward the advanced technology of the broader cosmic galaxy.
It also transcends all limitations rooted in the primordial foundations of one's past lives. Moreover, this extraordinary condition has been disseminated through the Chongxin lineage via the composition of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," bringing substantial and genuine benefits. This is the fundamental framework of Heaven, facilitated by the Mother to provide the Chongxin lineage with the resources for dissemination.
Furthermore, it is through the causes and conditions of all virtuous heavenly opportunities that growth is achieved. And now it can be said: what brings us, as mothers, great comfort is that the Chongxin lineage will certainly not fail the expectations of all the heavenly immortals and Buddha teachers. It is also true that distinguishing and benefiting the growth of sentient beings among humanity is truly worthy of affirmation and praise!
The Immortal Elder of Venus said: Although I am not the one who initiated the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin Sect, in every instance of all virtuous affinities, I, the Elder Immortal, have mostly come to the Chongxin Sect to bestow decrees. This has given rise to many extraordinary affinities for dissemination. Such exceptional conditions are precisely aimed at promoting the Chongxin Sect!
Throughout the eighteen years of arduous journey, everyone will be able to strive with sincerity. For all that one has dedicated, one will gain profound hidden merits, which can truly serve as the foundation for future ascension and transcendence. Thus, one can genuinely accumulate all growth in the forms of: return, transcendence, fulfillment, and surpassing!
Providing the celestial immortals and buddhas with teachers creates a favorable and virtuous opportunity for them to descend upon the Chongxin lineage to compose the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," which have achieved broader dissemination. Such conditions also enable the celestial immortals and buddhas to descend upon the Chongxin lineage for writing, thereby allowing the Chongxin lineage to be truthfully promoted throughout the universe.
Regarding all my efforts, following the expectations of the heavenly immortals and Buddhas as teachers, I have been granted a greater opportunity for the Chongxin lineage to propagate the teachings. Correspondingly, this has truly benefited all human beings, enabling them to grow and ascend. Through the eighteen years of trials bestowed by Heaven, every bit of hardship and every step of the journey remains deeply etched in my heart.
The continuous assessment of all deities, Buddhas, and students within the Chongxin lineage has consistently brought immense satisfaction. This is the result of the dedicated efforts of the lineage's leaders, together with all disciples and practitioners, who have persevered through every challenging stage of evaluation—truly commendable and admirable! Let us all give ourselves a round of applause.
This is the pivotal point where the divine immortals and Buddhas of the heavens take pride in the Chongxin lineage. It is also a sincere gratitude for the exceedingly strict teachings of all the immortals and Buddhas within the Chongxin lineage. Having passed all the trials within the human realm, one gains substantial knowledge, thereby enhancing the growth of wisdom.
It can be said: Everyone has already achieved significant growth! This provides everyone with a reliable foundation and, for all humanity and sentient beings, reduces the need for thirty to fifty years of trial and error. It enables genuine growth and accomplishment, which is truly worthy of the recognition and praise from the Heavenly Realm and all celestial immortals and enlightened teachers!
Immortal Elder of Venus
The Great Dao series is perfected and complete,  
The celestial book's virtuous intent descends to transform into truth.
Providing humanity with great growth, the principles of Consciousness-Only are profound in virtue and meaning.
Old Mother of Mount Li:
In all the world, the most supreme and extraordinary achievement is the completion of the revered Heart Sect's sacred texts.
Step by step, eighteen years have passed—a rare and arduous journey of dedication.
This verse is shared with all compassionate beings as mutual encouragement; it also signifies that some of these cosmic mysteries, which have never been fully revealed in the human realm, have now partly matured and been verified in truth! Regarding everyone's efforts over these eighteen years, it is truly deeply moving. Please give yourselves another round of applause!
Mother and Immortal Elder Taibai also thank everyone for your extraordinary companionship and support in each and every session, never missing a single occasion. This is indeed an affirmation and praise to the Heavens and all the celestial beings and Buddhas! Bring in the blessed fruits! These are the crystallization of all the good karma you have accumulated through eighteen years of diligent effort.
To all present, this offers a more authentic opportunity for transcendence, providing a foundation for all that is to come. Thank you, everyone! The Immortal Elder Taibai is the same way! What if you cannot let go? Everyone, please rise! Unable to let go, yet unwilling to part! Indeed, there is a sense of reluctance, but it must still be released. You have all worked hard. Farewell!

The Bodhisattva of Infinite Purity, Avalokitesvara,
With compassionate heart, attends to all sentient beings in the mortal realm.
The Dadao series has been completed,  
Fulfilling the heavenly virtue through its writings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the teachings of the thirty-sixth chapter of the thirty-sixth volume of the Great Dao series have been fully completed, delivered by the Venerable Mother of Mount Li from the Void Wuji and the Immortal Elder Li Taibai. These two immortal and Buddha teachers have been present since the very beginning of the establishment of this hall.
For a full eighteen years, they have mutually supported and fulfilled one another, with the Chongxin lineage receiving special care. Only now does this work evoke a profound sense of reluctance to part, as it bestows upon the Chongxin lineage all the most virtuous and favorable affinities. This will promote the propagation of future teachings step by step, and truthfully elevate everyone to higher levels, fostering aspirations for transcendence and growth.
In the future, we will gradually guide the four hundred million Buddhist disciples and the ninety-two original spirit children back to their origins! Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow is another Saturday, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope we can all strive together for growth! It is essential to benefit from goodness and elevate ourselves, returning, transcending, achieving perfection, and ascending. Thank you for your efforts. Farewell!

The Dadao series is nearing completion; Nanping Daoji descends to arrive.
Postscript: A Poem Congratulating Yang Tianyin

The Great Dao unites all under heaven as kin.
Postscript I: A Congratulatory Note
The Great Dao is the supreme cause and condition.
It is through the great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the human world that there will be many profound teachings in the "Consciousness-Only" doctrine, aimed at guiding and evolving sentient practitioners of all religious traditions. By advancing the cultivation of one's inner nature and fostering personal growth, this will greatly benefit all religious faiths.
This phenomenon presents to me a kind of upward growth, also a stride toward the broader high-tech civilizations of the universe and galaxies. Relying on it brings immediate, benevolent elevation and transcendence. Such conditions are uniquely unparalleled in the world, and are only found in the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Chongxin Sect lineage. Moreover, they serve as a guide for all religious believers to find their ultimate refuge.
There will be goodness, guiding oneself toward a more authentic transcendence! For all of humanity, evolving beyond technological civilization, and genuinely benefiting all sentient beings—this is what distinguishes different religions. Originally, all were part of the "Great Dao, One Family" in their growth. Now, the great virtue and grace of Heaven have descended to the human world to bring benefit.
A family that is truthful and sincere will achieve fulfillment and harmony.
The world's only "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" have now been completed, fulfilling all the arduous efforts of this humble monk over the past eighteen years. For humanity, they serve as the "Treatise Treasury" that disseminates the sublime principles of Buddhism, offering sentient beings the opportunity for evolution, self-improvement, and transcendence. All the writings have now been fully accomplished, seizing the opportune moment for their completion.
Taking up the sacred mission of Heaven, to complete all celestial texts that can be unveiled, and to bestow upon the world the boundless compassion and grace of Heaven, thus arise the extraordinary conditions and affinities for these writings. This encompasses humanity’s every thought and intention, every impression stored in consciousness, gathered word by word, sentence by sentence, chapter by chapter, volume by volume, through countless repetitions and iterations.
Having accomplished the most sublime function of the "Abhidharma Pitaka" in the world, this causal condition has been truthfully transmitted to all the supreme principles in the human realm, facilitating the evolution of sentient beings toward the creation of a high-tech civilization for the benefit of all affectionate human beings. Simultaneously, it propels oneself toward a broader path, returning to the great cosmic celestial realm.

The South Sea Guard protects all living beings,  
While the Ancient Buddha's works achieve the Great Path.
The series of books is now complete,  
A sublime return to the celestial vehicle.
Postscript: Second Eulogy
The Eighteen-Year Collection of the Chongxin Dadao Series
Thus, numerous auspicious and profound connections from the celestial realms descend into the human world, enabling the understanding: throughout these eighteen years, it has been solely through the venerable Master and the Ancient Buddha of Nanping Taoji, who reverently received the Sacred Decree from the Primordial Mother of the Wuji, to disseminate the unique Buddhist "Treatise on Consciousness-Only" to all sentient beings in the world.
It is precisely through the reliance on religious faith that one evolves to benefit from entering into religion. Today, having completed the entire process of writing the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," this extraordinary set of conditions and connections now allows for the public sharing of information, offering sentient human beings a path to evolve through the cultivation and reliance on religious faith.
At the same time, it has also elevated the overall excellence—the subtle intricacies of the essential methods—to enhance the conditions for human beings to ascend and transcend, which have been insufficient for thousands of years. This enables humanity to evolve to a higher level of return and transcendence, thereby truly benefiting the world and fostering genuine growth for practitioners as it truly is.
This is the great compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven, providing the supreme conditions and causes for all different religions in the human world, promoting their genuine growth and development! It also brings the true blessings for upward advancement, and genuinely addresses how the dual obstacles of Buddha and Mara within all human religions should be mutually transformed and reconciled.
All members of the family come together to accomplish it.
It is through the manifestation of the "Buddha-nature, True Suchness" and the process of dissolving and eliminating the "demon-nature, True Suchness" that humanity can genuinely grow and transcend. Otherwise, if the "demon-nature, True Suchness" infiltrates the minds and perceptions of human beings, how can one then manifest the "Buddha-nature, True Suchness" to ascend and transcend?
In light of these unique conditions and circumstances, it becomes clear that for humans to enter the ranks of religious faith, it is essential to discern and understand one's own obscurations of ignorance and how they obstruct what one ought to achieve. It is the right path to recognize the arising of "ignorance" and actively work to dissolve it, thereby transforming it into "clarity" and ultimately growing into "innate wisdom"!
Human beings can thus discern: how to comprehend the principle that "when the Dao advances one foot, the demon advances ten; when the Dao advances ten feet, the demon towers above." The manifestation of Buddha-nature only reaches thirteen levels, whereas the manifestation of the demonic mind extends to twenty levels. Humanity thus faces challenges that remain insurmountable.
In the face of such circumstances, one should truthfully transform the duality of "Buddha and demon." This is the true process of "eliminating the demonic mind and manifesting the Buddha mind." It serves as the driving force for the evolution of human beings toward the future, enabling genuine upward growth, which all can truly practice.

What a profound sigh! Time passes with such swiftness. In the eighteen years since taking on the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," it has been through the joint efforts of this teacher and various immortal and buddha mentors that we have collectively authored the world's unique Dadao series. To this day, we have completed the postscripts for thirty-six volumes, guiding sentient humanity toward upward growth.
Greatly appreciated. By honestly addressing the future, we will achieve virtuous propagation, allowing the Chongxin Sect to stride toward the broader cosmic galaxies and return! Thank you all for your companionship, support, and sacrifices over these eighteen years in the creation of these works. We leave it to the Chongxin Sect to jointly discuss the future dissemination of teachings. Farewell!

Namo, all beings are Tathagatas; the heart-dharma of Dipamkara must be revealed.
The Ancient Buddha authored the Great Dao volumes,  
A series of celestial books arranged with virtuous intent.
Postscript to the Three Hymns
The Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts
The singular and supreme function of the Abhidharma in the world is to genuinely bring the principles of Buddhism down to humanity. Over the past five thousand years, there has never been such a supreme opportunity to genuinely gather this function of the "Abhidharma" into a greater and more sublime cause—the theory of "Consciousness-Only."
It provides all human beings, from the moment of birth, with all karmic bodies, descending into the human world to begin anew from the heart, starting with reverence for the heart. It aims to help all human beings evolve more truthfully and clearly understand: for my present self, how to evolve through the teachings of higher-level karmic connections, thereby benefiting oneself!
This also incorporates all the worldly principles of the Three Bonds and Five Constants, the Four Virtues and Eight Ethics into the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," offering different religions the opportunity to genuinely benefit and grow. Simultaneously, it serves as a guiding opportunity for the future propagation and enlightenment of the four hundred million Buddhist disciples and the gathering of the ninety-two primordial spirits for their return.
Thus, one can comprehend all the great virtues bestowed by Heaven upon the human world, and also discern: how I should act! This will certainly form a great aid in all my cultivation and transformation, precisely by advancing upward from the present moment, and likewise truthfully addressing the upward growth of all technological civilization in the human world.
One family, as if truly and greatly flourishing.
Necessary evolution provides all beneficial conditions for humanity, ensuring the authentic growth and complete realization of the future! This is precisely what has been achieved: throughout the eighteen years of composing the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," each step has left a solid footprint, every imprint grounded in reality. Volume by volume, installment by installment, the entire series of celestial texts has faithfully fulfilled its function as a treasury of discourse.
This unique and supreme affinity, unparalleled in the human world, also draws upon the ancient sages, buddhas, and immortals of the vast celestial realm. They descend into the Chongxin lineage to guide and liberate all sentient beings, offering discernment of the heart-nature, spiritual nature, buddha-nature, and demonic nature, enabling everyone to attain thorough and genuine understanding.
It also lies in the fact that, from various perspectives, many immortal and Buddha teachers will repeatedly emphasize and remind, as recorded in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books"; this will manifest for future humanity: to propel oneself toward a broader cosmic space, providing sustenance and resources that have never been bestowed over the past several millennia.
Over the course of eighteen years dedicated to the Chongxin lineage, one who was once like a crying infant in need of nourishment has now grown into a young adult, capable of understanding all the issues of the human world. This process dissolves many obstacles born of ignorance and limitation, allowing for a thorough and clearer support for one's own evolution. Thus, one can truly achieve: return, transcendence, fulfillment, and ascension!

It is also time to thank everyone for all the hard work, sacrifices, selfless dedication, and effortless nurturing over these eighteen years, which have created profound and auspicious conditions for all students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage to advance, grow, and transcend. There has been virtuous growth, elevation, return, and transcendence! Thank you all for your efforts.
Namo, all beings chant the Tathagata,

People of superior virtue are genuine and true in their heavenly nature,

Editorial Principles
I. The Great Dao: It is the main axis guiding humanity from the secular world into religious faith, drawing upon the concepts of various religious practices to elevate oneself and foster upward growth. For sentient beings, such conditions of affinity are inherently understandable and indeed necessary.
II. The Great Dao: It is capable of discerning the descent of the divine grace and virtue of the Supreme Heaven into the human world, which is precisely to enable all to return to and transcend goodness, and also to clarify the obscurations and hindrances of the past: to understand how to cultivate growth and how to evolve in the present moment! In truth, this is the greatest shortcoming among practitioners of religious faith.
That is: I am truly honest in the present moment about my inability to maintain steadfast determination for long, in order to evolve all ignorance and obstacles. I also honestly dissolve religious barriers such as doctrinal obstructions, knowledge obstructions, textual obstructions, and conceptual obstructions.
III. The Great Dao: In the human world, the necessity of relying on conditions for nourishment and sustenance applies universally, regardless of religion or ethnicity. It is only through the formation of a dependent chain of affairs, akin to a tangible food chain for supply, and further complemented by the essential and exceptional conditions of the currency chain, that such reliance is realized.
It will integrate all worldly chains of karma, culminating in a composition of considerable authenticity. As for sentient beings, who among them can discern that, for my present necessity, there must be an authenticity that fosters the growth of the chains of affairs, food chains, currency chains, and karmic chains, all intertwined to form the orientation of existence!
This is a necessity for every sentient being in the human world—who among them can escape this need for sustenance? It also depends on whether human beings can clearly see their own blind spots. Moreover, regardless of whether one has entered into a religion or not, who among us does not need this? It is all too difficult!
IV. The Family: Within the human world, amidst various types of families, responding to the necessity of the present moment for oneself, one is led to regard the family as essential for achieving completeness and harmonious joy. Hence, there is the admonition: "When the family is harmonious, all affairs prosper; when the family quarrels, all matters stagnate." For the evolution of humanity, there exists a concept known as: "family happiness and harmony."
Guiding through orientation: This is precisely what is necessary for me! Nor, after entering into religion, should one abandon the harmony of the entire family; if one leaves a small family to enter a larger one, one must not let others perceive oneself as an eccentric with peculiar habits: a weirdo!
This is about elevating the harmony and happiness of the family through human society, without distinguishing between small, medium, or large families—it applies to all equally! Only then can good and virtuous causes and conditions arise, which will benefit one's own family and truly bring about its fulfillment.
V. The Family: It can be truthfully said that for every human being, evolution carries an orientation toward harmony and joy. For a small family, there must be happiness and harmony; only then can one progress to a medium-sized family, which requires the same conditions. Advancing further to a large family demands this even more. If one day, one truly enters the greater, heavenly family, this principle remains unchanged.
May I ask everyone: Have you refined your habits and tendencies? If you have not cultivated and transformed them while in the human world, then such exceptional conditions and causes will never truly allow you to enter the greater, harmonious, and joyful family of the heavens!
VI. The Great Dao as One Family: In the process of evolution, cultivation, and transformation across all realms, how should humanity bring about this state of perfect happiness and harmony, creating tangible benefits for all? One must also avoid becoming a destroyer! How should human beings advance toward the broader expanse of the universe?
It is essential to evolve truthfully toward the perfection and harmony of joyful unity. This begins within a small family, then evolves into the harmony of a medium-sized family, and ultimately enters into the perfection of a large family. All must benefit through truthful nature, while simultaneously allowing the large family to grow upward, transcend, and return to its origin.
In truth, only by refining and realigning oneself can one genuinely awaken to the present moment of "I": how to grow, elevate, and transcend for one's own benefit! It is precisely by transforming all shortcomings, deficiencies, and erroneous habits, applying this throughout one’s lifetime, that one can cultivate good causes and conditions in the present, thereby achieving growth, elevation, and transcendence.
VII. The Great Dao as One Family: Human beings can then discern that, after I have entered into religion, all the shortcomings, inadequacies, and mistakes of others have long since become lessons for my own learning, growth, and refinement. Thus, others can be regarded as my excellent teachers for self-improvement, ensuring that I will never repeat the same mistakes, and using this as a foundation for future achievements.
Furthermore, in the process of evolving toward greater growth by addressing one's own shortcomings and errors, it is through the supervision and assessment bestowed by Heaven that one's own IC microchip serves as evidence for all actions and behaviors, forming the basis for future orientation. This enables genuine upward progress and transcendence, creating the great cause and condition for advancement.
8. The Great Dao as One Family: In all practices of the human world, can one deceive the Supreme Heaven? Absolutely not! This is because, before all sentient beings are born into this life, the Supreme Heaven has already implanted your IC micro-crystal in your eight consciousness fields, precisely to record every single one of your actions and movements!
Who among us can escape the scrutiny and assessment of Heaven? This serves as the basis for future ascension, which is indeed a condition that seems almost impossible to fulfill! It truthfully addresses all aspects of your life's orientation in this existence, encompassing everything: every thought and intention, every impression stored in consciousness, every idea and belief. By being utterly truthful with yourself, you will have a substantial record to rely upon!
IX. The Sublime Uniqueness of the Great Dao as One Family: In the human realm, all who enter religious faith and practice do so with no other aim than to free themselves from the suffering and trials of returning to this world in the next life. Moreover, among human beings, not everyone lives in constant fear and trembling at every moment; such a state would create obstacles that are exceedingly difficult to dissolve.
In truth, human beings often fall short in significant ways: they become negligent in their actions and lack the perseverance for long-term commitment. This leads to a prevalent mindset of treating matters as optional or dispensable, thereby imposing limitations on addressing their own shortcomings. This is the greatest deficiency among humanity and must be earnestly rectified.
Ten. The Fulfillment of the Great Dao as One Family: All the extraordinary affinities in the human world can be distilled into the one and only "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books." Have you ever felt that the remarkable affinities in each volume are meant to diagnose and remedy our own shortcomings, urging humanity to practice with reverence and diligence.
Regarding how I should elevate all my shortcomings, this is the greatest and most sublime cause! Human beings are their own greatest slackers, fundamentally unable to discern their present actions and conduct. How, then, can they attain favorable conditions to transcend upward and return to the sublime cause?
Eleven. The Works of the Great Dao and One Family are completed: This is an exceptionally sublime work among all the compassionate virtues and blessings bestowed by the Heavenly Realm upon the human world. It can truthfully provide: For the sentient beings of humanity in the future, over the span of a thousand years, traces will remain in the cloud, and within this millennium, it will guide four hundred million Buddha-disciples and ninety-two primordial spirit children back to their return.
Riding across the universe and galaxies to grow, truly leaving evidence of one’s immortality over the next millennium—how does one feel when looking back at the present moment from such a perspective? I am witnessing the karmic conditions behind the creation of the *Dadao Series Celestial Books*. By faithfully applying these conditions to benefit humanity and guide its return, we can fulfill the hopes of the divine!
Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, the Virtuous Celestial Being, who descends to establish the example for the Confucian Sacred Teaching.

Oh! What praise is due! In the human world, there exists a corresponding truthfulness. Through the cultivation of faith and the practice of religion, there arises an even greater transcendence. This is manifested through the response of the ethereal celestial realm, bringing fulfillment to the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. It also truly grants everyone the conditions for a sublime affinity, allowing for growth and benefit in upward progression!
It is further instructed: After the completion of the works of the Great Dao family, the writing of the second phase of sacred decrees shall also cease, in order to distinguish and honor the diligent efforts contributed by all throughout the uninterrupted works of the past eighteen years. The cessation of these two phases of sacred decrees will last for ten days, to be resumed before the altar on the nineteenth day of the sixth lunar month.
Once again, we respectfully receive the sacred texts of the Great Dao series, specifically the thirty-seventh volume, as commissioned by divine decree. We kindly request everyone to prepare in advance. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the deities, Buddhas, and fellow students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage for their diligent efforts. Thank you all sincerely! In light of your earnest and substantial contributions, let us also give ourselves a round of applause as encouragement! Thank you, everyone. Farewell for now!

Chairman of the Chongxin Sect Lineage,  
The foundation of education lies in the literary grace of the void.
The Complete Works of the Great Dao Unite as One Family,  
In Reverence, We Respond to the Grace and Intent of Heaven.
Respectfully receiving the completed document and returning the imperial decree.
Today marks the auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Sect to once again fulfill the sacred mission of the Heavenly Realm. With the completion of the thirty-six volumes of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," the achievement of "The Great Dao as One Family" has been accomplished, and the finished works are now respectfully submitted. This brings immeasurable joy and affirmation to the unwavering dedication, sacrifices, and contributions of all members of the Chongxin Sect.
Today is the opportune moment to reverently receive the decree of Heaven. The auspicious hour has arrived, commanding the dispatch of the Chongxin Sect lineage’s Spiritual Treasure Immortal Youth of the Wuji Yaochi, Guardian Treasure Immortal Youth of the Wuji Yaochi, Joyful Qiong Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Yaochi, and Phoenix Qiong Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Yaochi to a distance of thirty li, to respectfully welcome the sacred decree of Wuji descending to the hall for proclamation.
The Second Decree dispatches the Immortal Maiden of Virtuous Principle in the Void, the Bodhisattva Guanyin, the Immortal Maiden of Sacred Virtue in the Void, the Heavenly Holy Mother, the Living Buddha Jigong in the Void, and the Bright King of Blessed Virtue in the Void, among others, to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji at twenty li beyond, and to bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, virtuous disciples, and cultivating scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy shall line up in order to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum!
Today, the sacred decree of the Wuji descends upon the Chongxin lineage, with deities and mortals bowing in reverence!
The Imperial Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
Mother resides in the supreme realm of Wuji, the heavenly paradise. Regarding all causes and conditions for teaching in the southern continent of Jambudvīpa, it can be said: She is exceedingly devoted! Particularly in propagating and delivering the sacred teachings of the Confucian tradition, She descends the mysteries of heaven and earth into the human world to elevate and transcend the growth of all original spirit Buddha-children. Among these, the noble decree of Mother’s heart, embodied in the Chongxin lineage, stands as the foremost!
Since the establishment of the hall in the year of Bingzi, eighteen years of diligent effort have been devoted to compiling the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." These works encompass all aspects of human life from birth to the afterlife, along with the mysteries of heaven, earth, and the cosmos. From the perspective of religious faith in the mortal world, this endeavor represents the sacrifices and devotion of all within the Chongxin lineage, guided by the heart of the Mother.
In response to the unwavering commitment of Heaven to uphold its purpose and direction, which will never be delayed or hindered by any differing opinions across time and space, through the Chongxin lineage of the Mother’s Heart, in sincere faith toward Heaven, steadfastly overcoming all difficulties, this deserves commendation. Such a situation is truly worthy of the Mother’s Heart’s consolation, enough to move Heaven and Earth!
Since the establishment of the Chongxin Sect in the year of Bingzi, eighteen years have passed. During this time, a total of thirty-six volumes of the "Heavenly Books of the Great Dao Series" have been completed and are now ready to be presented as a finished work. To all the deities, Buddhas, and devoted followers of the Chongxin Sect, your unwavering dedication and concerted efforts are deeply moving. This achievement is a testament to the heartfelt devotion poured into its completion.
All meritorious deeds should be publicly proclaimed to the world as a celestial decree from Heaven. Moreover, all immortals, Buddhas, sages, and deities of the Chongxin lineage should be promoted five ranks in recognition of their merits, providing a righteous foundation for their future return. The Mother's heart is greatly comforted. She further dispatches Immortal Shuangcheng to bring three jars of Wuji Nectar to be infused into the tea of the Chongxin lineage.
A cup of reward is bestowed upon the divine immortals and Buddhas, while two additional cups are granted as rewards to all virtuous sons and daughters. In recognition of the Chongxin lineage, affirmed by the divine will of Heaven, for its eighteen years of diligent dedication, heartfelt commendation is truly deserved! This is also in acknowledgment of the completion and submission of all thirty-six volumes of the sacred texts.
We give thanks for the grace of heaven and the blessings of our teachers.
The Supreme Mother of the Wuji descended to complete the scripture and returned the decree to the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian Tradition.

On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month in the year of Jiawu, during the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).
Oh! Truly in fulfilling the duty toward Heaven, being able to disseminate and affirm all within the Chongxin Sect lineage is worthy of the reward from the Eternal Heavenly Mother. This also specifically concerns the sect lineages of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Sister Immortal Ma—truly a cause for celebration! I shall swiftly return to the Heavenly Principle to deliver my decree, and return another day to continue writing! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
The decree of the Wuji bestows rewards,  
Elevating the Chongxin lineage, the Great Dao is exalted.
Once more, the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven descends,  
To unfold and spread across the four seas in times to come.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks the auspicious occasion of the completion and submission of the thirty-sixth volume of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" of the Chongxin Sect, titled "The Great Dao as One Family." Having just respectfully received the Sacred Decree from the Wuji Empress at the hall, it is now time to continue with the reverent reception of the Jade Decree from the Heavenly Emperor for its proclamation.
By decree, dispatched from the lineage of the Chongxin Sect: the Bodhisattva of Universal Worthy from Wuji, the Bodhisattva of Great Strength from Wuji, the Bodhisattva of Manjushri from Wuji, and the Bodhisattva of Compassionate Wisdom and Observer of the World’s Sounds from Wuji, respectfully received the Imperial Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven at a distance of twenty-five li, and brought it to the hall for proclamation.
By the second decree, the City God Emperor of Wuji, the Venerable King Guangze of Wuji, the Emperor of Culture and Literature of Wuji, and the True Lord of the Nine Heavens in Charge of Fate of Wuji are dispatched to respectfully receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven fifteen li away and bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, students, as well as the cultivators and scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, shall line up in formation to await the arrival.
The Heavenly Emperor decrees, bestowing reverence upon the heart;  
The Venerable Luo Tianzun brings it forth to walk the path.
The virtue and grace of the Jade Decree's rewards and commendations—  
The cause for the submission of decrees in the Dadao series.
By imperial decree, the Heavenly Jade Edict descends upon the Chongxin lineage; gods and mortals bow in reverence!
The Jade Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully Received
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity of Mysterious Radiance, decrees:
I, as the supreme sovereign, hold that in the growth of civilization and technology across the human world, it is essential to foster virtuous causes and conditions. These should facilitate the evolution of all human beings into a more advanced civilization and technology, thereby enhancing the well-being of humanity. This is particularly crucial during the courses of enlightenment that Heaven bestows upon the mortal realm as part of its educational mission.
There is the Lord of the Southern Heaven, the Holy Emperor of Literary Balance, Guan Qing, who petitioned on behalf of the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin Sect under the Imperial Decree. This truly addresses the arduous process of establishing the hall over the past eighteen years, which can be regarded as a model affinity in the human world. Now, all thirty-six volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" have been fully completed.
It is precisely the commitment to the divine mission, with unwavering determination to propagate and promote, that sets an example for all religions in the human world, serving as a model for all humanity and worthy of emulation by all future emerging religions. This is exemplified by the Chongxin lineage, which steadfastly fulfills the divine mission in the human realm to achieve growth.
It is appropriate to reward the deities and buddhas of the Chongxin Sect with an additional five grades of merit. All disciples of the Chongxin Sect shall also be specially granted five grades of merit, establishing blessings for all future propagation and promotion. This is affirmed by the Chongxin "Great Dao One Family," representing the collective efforts and contributions of all, while also gathering the collective blessings of everyone.
In the future opportunities and affinities for the propagation of the Chongxin lineage, this share of merit shall be extended to the entire universe, and all blessings of Chongxin shall be increased, spreading them across the cosmos in times to come! Be diligent and courageous, without negligence or oversight! With unwavering determination, complete all thirty-six volumes of the Dadao series—this can move the heart! This can bring solace and reward!

The Revered Heart Lineage of the Imperial Decree
On the eighth day of the lychee month in the year of Jiawu, during the hour of Xu.
Excellent! It is truly gratifying to see that, in response to the Chongxin Sect's eighteen years of arduous efforts and dedication, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court has bestowed rewards, which is indeed the righteous path! This truly paves the way for all future endeavors in propagation and elevation. Thank you all for accompanying and contributing to this work. Farewell, and thank you once again!
The Great Dao series is perfected and complete,  
The Chongxin lineage brings forth blessings and virtue.
Eighteen years of toil and strife,  
Rewarded now by Heaven's grace in life.
All Saints, Buddhas, Virtuous Students, and scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, an Imperial Decree of Commendation has descended from the Wuji, and the Jade Emperor of the Haotian Heaven has bestowed rewards for merits. All these are gathered to support future propagation and promotion, which will bring immense blessings. This also specifically addresses the Chongxin Sect lineage, accumulating the merits of all virtuous students.
To all contributors, there will be a reward of merit for their efforts. This is the first time in eighteen years that such a distinct reward has been given, and it can be felt that in the future propagation, there must be tangible blessings added. I wonder if everyone is willing to have the "great vow power" to promote and spread the Chongxin lineage across the world? Answer: We are willing!
Proceed with the propagation and transformation in accordance with the collective "great vows and powers"! Simultaneously, for all that everyone has contributed, what is given openly shall be returned in secret! This is authored through all the good causes and conditions of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," offering what is necessary for the affectionate human beings of today to ascend, grow, and transcend. Whether one can comprehend this depends on each individual's choice!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all spirit medium sessions will proceed as usual. The divine teachings originally scheduled for next Tuesday and Friday will be rescheduled to Wednesday and Saturday instead. The sessions of "Immortals and Buddhas Aiding the World" and "Chan Insights Dispelling Delusions" will continue as normal. Over these eighteen years, the painstaking efforts dedicated to all writings have never ceased, and the entire collection of thirty-six volumes has now been fully completed.
Furthermore, on Tuesday, June 19th, we once again gathered reverently before the hall to continue receiving the karmic origins of the thirty-seventh volume of the "Dadao Series Classics." It was also revealed: The Zen Master had just reported to the immortals and buddhas that, due to the birthday celebrations on June 19th and the submission of the ninetieth issue of the Chongxin Magazine, it was necessary to commence the ceremony two ke (ancient time unit) earlier to avoid delaying the time for receiving the sacred decree. Is this understood? Thank you all for your selfless and effortless support over these eighteen years. Farewell for now!
