Dadao Series — Book 38
English Edition · 大道真佛
◆ Prefaces ◆
For sentient beings with emotions, under the influence of the Great Dao, it is believed that aside from a few who genuinely practice within religious traditions, it is exceedingly difficult for the general populace to truly comprehend it. What causes this? Beyond the necessities of daily survival being real, they have no concept whatsoever of anything concerning the future.
The attainment of the Great Dao—is to take all within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star as the foundational point, and to regard livelihood and spiritual cultivation as the primary causal basis for all human beings. This relies on sentient beings sustaining themselves through livelihood, thereby achieving: the upward growth of all religious faiths!
Sentient beings, within the conditions that sustain life through religion, often merely adhere to past scriptures in their practice, thereby only entering the ranks of religious faith and maintaining but a single form of support. If one speaks of truly and deeply immersing in the study of the sutras as intended, it is likely not what they themselves desire, and thus the conditions for growth and elevation may arise.
This is how sentient beings rely on and uphold religious faith. For humanity, entering into religious faith and sustaining life are two aspects, yet comparatively, sustaining life is of utmost importance. Why is it said so? Because in the daily lives of sentient beings, the conditions for sustaining life are placed first!
Originally, there was nothing inherently objectionable about it. If one regards religious faith as a means of spiritual elevation, it does not necessarily imply complete integration. Viewed from this perspective, there exists an orientation shaped by past temporal and causal conditions. Thus, the pursuits of livelihood cultivation and the practice of religious faith are profoundly interconnected, ensuring that one's actions do not become detached from the realities of human existence.
The teachings of the Heart-Mind School affirm that for every human being, growth is achieved through the mutual support and complementary interplay of faith and the nourishment of life. However, for any religious faith in the human world to truly penetrate its profound depths, it is not merely a matter of superficial understanding. One must also comprehend the underlying principles and origins of its teachings.
Therefore, regarding religious faith, many human beings find it exceedingly difficult to penetrate its profound depths, nor can they grasp its essential principles to comprehend by analogy. This is because, through religious faith in the human world, one must understand the chain of matters that need to be grasped, and thus come to realize all that is necessary in the human realm.
Many of these are bestowed by the Heavenly Realm and are also found in the classics of the human world, serving to elevate and enhance. This truthfully demonstrates to humanity the necessity of self-improvement and upward growth, thereby offering a significant opportunity for greater development in the present era.
Since for all human beings, both religious faith and the sustenance of life must advance hand in hand—this is the true path! It will also genuinely dispel the ignorance of the past. Moreover, by drawing upon the essence imparted in the current era through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," it becomes a manifestation of the compassionate grace of Heaven.
Through the guidance of the celestial immortals and Buddhas, who have traversed vast distances to descend upon the Chongxin lineage, the conditions for all wondrous affinities are being composed. This is precisely the virtuous grace bestowed by the Heavenly Realm and the celestial teachers, enabling sentient beings to ascend and grow. Only by truly benefiting and reaping genuine rewards for oneself can this be considered the true path!
The vast transformation of the Great Dao—requires abundant growth to inspire one's inherent nature. For sentient beings across different religious beliefs, if this causal condition is not grounded in the Buddhist "theory of Consciousness-Only," any attempt toward upward advancement will inevitably reveal numerous shortcomings. Why is this so?
In daily life, human beings constantly apply the specialized principles of "Consciousness-Only" at every moment, minute, and second, without distinguishing between any religious beliefs. If one fails to discern the essence of "Consciousness-Only," it may lead to numerous obstacles that are difficult to transcend. This is why it is necessary to integrate the five major religions in the human world!
It is precisely in this way that one can ascend and progress, through the daily lives of human beings. Every action and every matter also absolutely necessitates mutual assistance with the "Consciousness-Only" doctrine. Therefore, for human beings, if they are in other religions, it is merely a matter of steadfast devotion and support.
Fundamentally, it is impossible to discern: every action and movement of human beings is absolutely interconnected through the contact and linkage of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body! This is precisely why the Heavenly Realm has established the Chongxin Sect and lineage, and why the importance of authoring the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" lies herein. How should I evolve in this lifetime? And how can I truly benefit from it?
How can the True Buddha Heart Sect be promoted? It is based on education and guidance. Without such teachings, how can sentient beings come to understand that every choice in daily life stems from their own actions, initiated by the "intention" arising from the inner "manas-consciousness," and involves the distinction of whether to engage or not to engage?
Furthermore, in the transmission and elucidation of the "ālaya-vijñāna," it becomes clear that humanity, through its own actions and deeds, ascends and grows within the "amala-vijñāna," thereby enabling sentient beings to enter into a more transcendent manifestation. Thus, the heavens have opened the Chongxin lineage, which, in its mission to propagate the true Buddha-heart teachings of the Great Dao, operates through the practices carried out in the human realm.
Without discrimination towards the beliefs of any religion, one can truly attain clear understanding. Only by genuinely comprehending the retribution of "arising thoughts and the law of cause and effect" can the Five Religions and various faiths be harmoniously integrated. For the achievements of the next five hundred years, there will certainly be numerous virtuous connections, delving into the specialized depth of "New Consciousness-Only Theory."
Only then can there be a true teaching for me: the cause and condition of "solely for all beings, not for oneself" is what is genuine and real! Aiming at the integration of religions in the future, it applies to all "true suchness and reality" to achieve a more transcendent elevation—that is, with return as the primary foundation, benefiting both oneself and all beings!
The teachings of the Great Dao lineage, propagated by the practitioners of the Great Dao, represent the integration of all five religions as ordained by the Heavenly Will. It is through the propagation efforts of each individual religion that distinctions among religious sects have emerged in the human world today. However, in the eyes of the Heavenly Will, such divisions do not exist, as it genuinely unites all religions and the five teachings into one harmonious whole.
Regarding the future of religions, the issues brought about by various faiths—such as conflict, slander, and all calamities—will be resolved. The genuine transformation of religious beliefs toward fulfillment can be achieved in the current era through the deployment of the "internet." This will enable a clear understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, merits, and flaws of each religious tradition, ultimately benefiting all sentient beings in their choices.

## Vice Chairman Ma Xiangu
December 26, 2014, the fifth day of the eleventh month in the jiawu year (Friday)
With diligence and courage, unwavering and attentive, a mother's heart hopes for benefits to self and others.
◆ Prefaces ◆
The grand unfolding of the Dao is such that it enables humanity and all sentient beings to instantly grasp its essence, while also genuinely rectifying all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors. Thus, in the future era of technological civilization, should it spiral out of control, the heavens will inevitably intervene through all religions to avert the many perils that threaten humanity and other beings.
The true Buddha manifests and ascends, and the teachings of the true Buddha—precisely through the Chongxin lineage—are propagated outward. This concept also unites like-minded religious believers across the world, mutually supporting one another. For the future of humanity, religious integration is essential, and the strengths of each faith are genuinely promoted and expanded.
Furthermore, by eliminating shortcomings before they manifest, humanity's future can more readily grasp its profound essence, transforming and elevating the human world. This upward growth itself is a remarkably excellent transcendence. How, then, can one genuinely elevate oneself? It must be achieved through personal responsibility and diligent effort!
Therefore, the heavens take proactive measures to eliminate the potential problems that may arise among future human beings. They spare no effort in integrating all religions of the entire Earthly Nether Star System, encompassing the five major teachings of the Great Cosmos, to promote the perfection of each religion. This provides a harmonious foundation for the survival of sentient human beings and transforms the future scourge of religious conflicts.
In the grand transformation of the Great Dao, there exist numerous auspicious opportunities to genuinely foster growth in the interactions among sentient human beings. This underscores the necessity of integrating the teachings of the Five Religions, while also enabling one to truly penetrate the ignorance of their past, discern all present shortcomings and deficiencies, and thereby transcend them.
The attainment of the Great Dao—In the human realm, it is relatively rare to encounter such a sublime affinity as that of the Chongxin Sect lineage. Moreover, through the teachings imparted by the immortal Buddhas and venerable masters, sentient beings benefit and grow. This constitutes a training process for all religions in the human world, through which the abundant resources and sustenance of the Heavenly Realm can be obtained. Thus, the celestial teachings of the future are genuinely disseminated, benefiting the growth of all sentient human beings.
The Realization of a True Buddha Practitioner — It is also considered an attainment when one has already transcended the space of the Earthly Nether Star! This extraordinary affinity arises precisely from one’s present moment, through a genuine and profound realization of the nourishment and resources bestowed by Heaven, which fosters growth. This is not an elevation reserved for the future. For many sentient beings among humanity, it is through growth in the present moment, rather than through future elevation, that true authenticity is realized.
The transcendence of a true Buddha — it is from the self, having already comprehended all the paths of practice of the immortal and Buddha teachers, understanding how they were in the past and how they are in the present. This temporal and spatial causality is already different, and thus cannot be compared with that of former times. In elevating the true Buddha, it is precisely due to the supreme causality of the heavenly beings and the immortal and Buddha teachers descending from afar to compose teachings and guide with compassion!
The School of Mind advocates for universal elevation—that is, it teaches that everyone can achieve higher realization. This represents a highly advanced and exceptional training course. Can humanity comprehend the reasons behind this and understand how it works? Therefore, the School of Mind manifests a clear awakening from the "heart-mind," rather than obstructing the elimination of ignorance. It is precisely through the dedicated instruction of celestial immortals and buddhas that this teaching is imparted!
The realization of the Heart School—the human world is an assembly of various scriptures. It transforms truthfully the primary causal points within each person's nature, and for me: how should one evolve to attain clear understanding of all scriptures, rather than being confined to what is dispensable! Under such causal conditions, for everyone who seeks to ascend, grow, and transcend, there is much to benefit one's own development.
The Necessity of the Church – Without the teachings of the church, there would be none; gathering everyone in one space, with celestial immortals and Buddha-teachers descending to compose works, is akin to everyone equally receiving the teachings of each Buddha. This is essential for one’s own upward growth. Only by truthfully imparting the teachings and causes of enlightenment to everyone can one grasp the subtleties and key insights within, thereby reaping tangible benefits.
The assembly of the church—that is, the necessity of establishing educational programs—is to educate and enlighten sentient beings through teaching and cultivation courses. Moreover, this must not be measured by rates of return. It is an act of compassion from Heaven toward humanity, granting all beings an opportunity for fairness and equality. Through the church, everyone may come to understand the original intent of Heaven.
The Great Dao Zhenfo Xin Religious Association – this is what human society's educational curriculum cannot measure in terms of return on investment! By genuinely elevating and transcending all sentient beings through a truly authentic approach, the Chongxin lineage leverages the exceptional merits of all its past writings to propagate and expand the teachings for humanity. This advances contemporary civilization, evolving it to surpass the ideological concepts of the past.
Just as the old three bonds of the past—ruler guides subject, father guides son, husband guides wife—are truthfully upheld as the "new three constant bonds," the correct concepts for humanity and all beings will necessarily include: "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." Moreover, by truthfully analyzing the true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth, it allows everyone to progress from non-action into a greater, genuine non-action, which is the true path!
The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association – The profound and rigorous trials that the Supreme Heaven has bestowed upon the Chongxin Lineage in the past, step by step, time after time, and instance by instance, have been extraordinary karmic opportunities. The Chongxin Lineage has indeed passed each and every examination set by the Supreme Heaven. Though the process was exceedingly painful, it has truthfully overcome every trial, thereby accumulating genuine and substantial merits as educational lessons to benefit all sentient beings of humanity. Let this be a shared encouragement!

## Imperial Envoy of the Vast Heaven, Immortal Elder Li Taibai
The ceremony for the ascension of the Deputy Seat of Magu; the lineage of the Chongxin Sect rises once more in vigor.
The Dadao Series, Volume 38: Reverently Receiving the Sacred Decree for the Coming Era
Respectfully receiving the imperial decree, it is hereby promulgated.
Today marks another auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Sect, as we once again reverently receive the Sacred Decree from the Wuji realm at our hall. It is truly a blessing for the Chongxin Sect to be able to compile celestial texts volume by volume, providing humanity with the essential guidance for upward growth and enabling genuine transcendence. Such a rare and profound opportunity calls for heartfelt gratitude to the Heavens and the benevolent grace of all enlightened teachers, for it is through their blessings that such achievements are made possible.
We should bow in gratitude for the fulfillment granted by the Primordial Mother of the Infinite and the Jade Emperor of the Vast Heaven. Such boundless grace must be repaid like a gushing spring, honoring the virtuous blessings bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage by Heaven. Now that the appointed time has arrived, it is decreed that three deities of our lineage—the Emperor of Culture from the Void, the City God from the Void, and the Honored King of Vast Grace from the Void—shall respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Infinite thirty miles away and present it at the hall.
By the second decree, the Bodhisattva of Void Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Void Samantabhadra, and the Void Goddess of Childbirth, among others, are dispatched to respectfully receive the Sacred Decree from the Wuji descending upon Chongxin for proclamation at a distance of twenty li. All other deities and Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, along with students, as well as the cultivators and scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, shall line up in formation to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum!

## Chairman, Heavenly Lord of Literary Grace and Education in the Void
Before the Throne of the Limitless, serving the Imperial Mother,  
The Immortal Maiden Shuangcheng descends to this realm.
The lineage of the Heart-Revering Sect receives the decree once more,  
Holding the virtue and will to benefit all beings under heaven.
By Imperial Decree, the Wuji Sacred Edict descends upon the Chongxin lineage, promulgating and providing future teaching resources for Chongxin, granting sentient beings greater growth and elevation! With reverence, both divine and human bow in prostration!
Imperial Decree Announced and Read Aloud.
Respectfully Received
The Supreme Deity of the Primordial Mother decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, devoting utmost effort to the courses of enlightenment for all her children in the mortal world. She earnestly hopes for favorable outcomes, guiding her children toward elevation and granting them the means to transcend and return to ultimate perfection. To date, she has completed the thirty-seventh volume of the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series, submitting it as a fulfilled decree. This stands as a testament to the affirmation of the Chongxin lineage, in accordance with the Mother's benevolent will.
Grant elevation and praise! Such a scenario fulfills the Mother's heartfelt expectations, bringing forth abundant growth and transcendence. Now, it is time to disseminate the thirty-eighth volume of the Dadao series celestial books, continuing the writings for the Chongxin lineage. The Mother's heart is greatly pleased, and She inscribed its title as: "Dadao True Buddha." This serves as the growth of the Dadao True Buddha Heart Religion Association.
There are numerous pioneering initiatives that have been deemed worthy of affirmation by the Heavens. Now, with the dedicated efforts of the deities and Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, as well as the sacred spirits, the foundational principles for teaching have been provided. The Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Human and Celestial Realm of the Southern Void have been appointed as the principal composing immortals, with the remaining sages and Buddhas serving as assisting immortals. Upon the arrival of the decree, the composition shall commence immediately.
To expedite the completion and promulgation of the teaching curriculum, benefiting oneself and all sentient beings, and fulfilling the aspiration for transcendence and ultimate perfection, this is the authentic, evolving teaching curriculum of the Chongxin lineage, and it is also what I, as your mother, deeply hope for! Diligence and perseverance must be upheld, serving as the foundation for future accomplishments!

The Great Celestial Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity and Exalted Celestial Emperor, proclaims by Jade Decree:
I, as the sovereign of the highest authority, frequently receive reports from the mortal world. The education for the survival of future human beings is a vast and long journey of resources. Therefore, for all worldly teachings, especially the ancestral lineage of the Chairperson of the Southern Heaven, which has achieved tangible results and effects, it is crucial to promote human ethics and morality for all future generations.
And in the technological civilization of the 21st century, you have achieved commendable merits, worthy of my appreciation and congratulations. Regarding the distinguished teaching curriculum of the Yichong Xinzong lineage in Bade, Taoyuan, Taiwan, the completion of the 37th volume of the Great Tao Series Celestial Books has been submitted to the divine will. It is now appropriate to continue with the descent of the 38th volume of the Great Tao Series Celestial Books.
The Supreme Being is greatly pleased with the writings of Chongxin and has inscribed its title as "The True Buddha of the Great Dao," providing for the faithful recording of the "True Buddha of the Great Dao Heart Religion Association" in the human world. This scene is sufficient to bring comfort to Heaven. It has been decreed that the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea and the Ancient Buddha of the Supreme Virtue of the Void, Namo Xukong Shangde Rentiangufo, shall serve as the principal immortals and Buddhas for the writings, with the assistance of other immortals and Buddhas who traverse the heavens.

The Great Sage and Supreme Teacher, Confucius, descends to bestow auspicious words upon the heart of reverence.
The True Heart Sect of the Great Dao opens forth,  
Virtue bestows upon all beings celestial blessings and sustenance.
Praise and Felicitation
The Great Dao encompasses all transformations and responses.
It is with the human world as the guiding foundation that such human beings will manifest the nourishment of life: they will consider how I should act accordingly! All orientations toward existence will thus be established with virtuous regulations, which must be followed to ensure the benevolent upward growth of sentient beings, thereby faithfully transmitting morality within the human realm.
It is precisely this necessity that truthfully upholds ethical norms as the support for sentient beings. This provides a favorable orientation for survival in the human world, preventing the dominance of a world devoid of moral inheritance. Therefore, why do human beings possess the support of goodness? It is because they follow the will of Heaven as their guide!
It is also a truth that by reforming and transforming all the ignorance and obstacles in the human world, along with the negative habits of sentient beings, and by incorporating human factors into the moral regulations of the world to ensure their effective implementation in the present, there will be a genuine and virtuous growth, benefiting all sentient beings with compassion.
A true Buddha attains enlightenment through genuine realization.
The necessity of elevating and transcending humanity is truly essential to practice within the human realm. Without understanding the necessity inherent in all aspects of human existence, it becomes exceedingly difficult to achieve upward growth.
It is thus impossible to comprehend that the emergence of ignorance within various religions is rooted in the reliance on all the insufficient and deficient beliefs of the human world. As humanity must ascend and genuinely elevate itself to transcendence, it is necessary to engage with the actualities of all religions, in accordance with the karmic conditions for teaching inherent in each faith.
It also truthfully explains the necessity of "the three teachings sharing the same origin and the five religions stemming from the same source." Only by distinguishing this from a holistic perspective can we avoid, in the future, merely relying on the baptism of a single religion. Thus, for all sentient beings, having religious faith requires mutual admiration, mutual affirmation, and encouragement among everyone. This is the genuine path to growth, where there are no barriers between various religions, and only then is it the right way!

Aha! Once again, I have come to the Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association’s lineage to compose the thirty-eighth volume of the "Dadao Series Collection" with praise and congratulations. Such a divine opportunity and rare affinity are seldom bestowed upon the mortal world—truly heartwarming! For now, we shall temporarily withdraw from the Chongxin lineage to gather for future meetings. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Fifth Chapter: Honoring the Heart and Continuing the Lineage – The Great Dao Series
## Ancient Buddha of the Void, Virtuous and Revered by Humans and Celestials
February 10, 2015, the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month in the jiawu year (Tuesday)
Namo to the Original Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha,  
May the Jewel of the Muni Illuminate Me.
The True Heart Sect of the Great Dao unfolds,  
A sublime hymn forms its sacred structure.
The True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao
The Supreme Cause of the Great Dao
One can observe the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, which lies in the steadfast dedication of eighteen years, periodically publishing the "Dadao Series" of books to disseminate and benefit the world. It is evident that such unwavering determination and perseverance are incomparably commendable. It also genuinely propels the Confucian teachings and sacred doctrines of the human world onto the global stage, thereby enabling the distinction and integration of the five major religions for the evolution of humanity.
It is by elevating and transcending the fundamental principles of the Five Teachings that this volume's Great Way True Buddha Heart School is also known as the Fundamental Function of the Five Teachings of the Great Way. Its purpose is to honestly address the tendency of human beings to seek religious faith for survival, urging them not to deviate from the goodness of their own religions while also promoting the spirit of harmonizing the Five Teachings.
The religious beliefs of the human world thus find mutual integration and admiration. For the Da Dao Zhen Fo Xin Religious Association, it can genuinely propagate its teachings across the universe. This is a profound and auspicious opportunity of divine providence, truthfully enabling all followers of singular religions in the human world to integrate into the unity of the three teachings and the common origin of the five faiths.
This means that with mutual affection and admiration among people in the human world, as well as the genuine growth and continuous elevation of each individual's religious faith, there will be no situation where one adheres to their own beliefs while rejecting those of others. This is not merely about relying on the faith in the Heavenly Lord; it also involves affirming oneself while appreciating others.
The widespread propagation of the true Buddha's teachings
In this world, there are various religions, each with its own merits, and I myself hold them in high regard. It is therefore necessary to praise and affirm the religions that others believe in. Hence, in accordance with the will of Heaven, the continuation of the Dadao series of sacred texts is presented in the thirty-eighth volume, "The True Buddha Heart Religious Society of the Great Dao"—which also integrates the five major teachings of the Great Dao.
When those who hold insufficient, deficient, or erroneous beliefs toward all religions begin to arise, there will be a genuine upward growth. This also means that five hundred years from now, all religions will gradually merge into one: there will be religious denominations, but no religious barriers, thus truly benefiting all human beings and sentient beings!
Unlike the religious beliefs of the past, which often rejected the unique merits of other faiths, this is a divine decree recently issued by Heaven. It aims to provide the world with pioneering works of profound significance for the next five hundred years, benefiting all sentient beings. Furthermore, it seeks to mitigate conflicts arising from religious disputes, transforming potential strife through foresight and preparation.
Homage to the Original Teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, who bestowed this verse upon the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian School.

Alas! In this mortal world, there exists such extraordinary affinity that can genuinely transform and dissolve all religious barriers and divisions. This is precisely the mission entrusted by Heaven. Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time spent with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell!
Episode 6: Heavenly Teachings Spread, Benefiting All Beings
## Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
February 13, 2015, the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month in the jiawu year (Friday)
The Supreme One, impartial, stirs the hearts of humanity;  
The Virtue of the Dao Ancestor enriches the myriad people.
The fundamental virtue is to live as a true human being,  
As the Heavenly Lord descends to compose this preface, its purpose is fulfilled.
The Five Teachings of the Great Dao
The Great Dao Zhenfo Heart Religious Association
This manifests with all that exists in the human world, serving as a function of adaptation within it, allowing one to perceive that this is a rather orthodox religious organization. It is also a true and complete manifestation over eighteen years, emerging to promote and propagate all the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," thereby providing humanity with wholesome spiritual nourishment.
In accordance with the necessity for upward growth among all human beings, the thirty-six volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" have now been fully published. This monumental endeavor was accomplished through the united efforts of celestial immortals and buddhas, the sacred lineage of Chongxin Sect, and its disciples, all working in harmony to elucidate for the sake of Heaven the world's foremost and most sublime treasure canon.
That is to say, by integrating the five religions of "Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam," greater progress can be made in religious harmony, leading to more authentic benefits and rewards. This is because the divine providence of Heaven possesses a profound and unifying force that fulfills and integrates all the faiths and practices of humanity, without distinction among the religions each individual follows.
True Buddha Heart School Religious Association
Humanity, through the integration of the five major religions, can grow and benefit in a more authentic manner. In this regard, the "Dadao Series" of books offers immense spiritual nourishment to all practitioners, regardless of their religious affiliation. It is essential to understand and discern the principles of the Buddhist "New Consciousness-Only" philosophy with sincerity and clarity.
Otherwise, if sentient beings merely possess knowledge of the three teachings or the essence of the five religions, yet fail to fully comprehend the theoretical tenets of Buddhism’s "New Consciousness-Only School," they will be unable to thoroughly grasp the emergence of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one’s nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit." It is absolutely not the case that a single reading suffices to understand all the profound connotations within these sublime principles.
Rather, with each new understanding, different insights emerge, truthfully incorporating all the sublime conditions for attaining immortality, Buddhahood, or sainthood in the human world into the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." This manifests for sentient beings as the immediate realization that enables them to achieve upward growth, transcendence, and ultimate return.
The Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Celestial Venerable of the Way and Virtue, descended to bestow this preface upon the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian School.

On the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month in the year of Jiawu, during the Xu hour.
Alas! This is yet another profoundly auspicious experience, and indeed it has arrived. The vast and boundless grace and virtue of Heaven descend to transform the human realm, bringing forth good rewards and growth. Such a rare and extraordinary affinity is exceedingly scarce, and only the "Chongxin Lineage" possesses such abundant resources. I have troubled the Chongxin Lineage for some time, and I am grateful for everyone’s companionship in this endeavor. Farewell!
Episode Seven: The Dadao Series – The World's Treasures
##Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea
February 27, 2015, the ninth day of the first lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Friday)
The void interweaves with causes and conditions, honoring the heart;  
Supreme virtue arises and transforms within the human mind.
The True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Way  
Spreads the Truth and Transforms the Hearts of the People
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today’s conditions and affinities are truly extraordinary, as the three great founders have personally descended to compose the preface of praise.
Chapter Eight: Reducing Trial and Error, Thirty to Fifty Years
## The Celestial Worthy of Universal Exaltation in the Boundless
March 3, 2015 — The Thirteenth Day of the First Lunar Month, Year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The commendations, hymns, and preface for the work "The True Buddha Heart Religion of the Great Dao" have all been completed. There are still many celestial immortals and Buddhas whose teachings on the Dao have yet to be included. It is anticipated that in future works, they will descend to inspire everyone together, offering profound insights into the entire volume of heavenly scriptures. This will greatly benefit all sentient beings with compassion.
This is a supreme connection through the Celestial Book of the Great Dao Series—Volume 38. It arises from the fundamental origin of the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association," also known as the "Great Dao Five Religions," and brings benefits to the human world. Let us strive diligently under the guidance of teachers for training, and genuinely nurture each individual's expertise. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Episode Nine: The Truth of the Universe, The Mysteries of Heaven and Earth
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
March 6, 2015, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Friday)
From the void, causes and conditions descend to revere the heart;  
The supreme virtue of humans and heavens is the ancient Buddha’s cause.
The Book of the True Buddha Heart of the Great Way  
Carrying Forward the Truth in Accordance with Heaven and Earth
The Evolution of the Great Dao
The Great Dao: It is through all actions in the human world that embody the true meaning of heaven and earth, manifesting reliance for all existence. It can be said that among all sentient beings in the vast cosmos, there arises a growth of goodness. This is also the genuine transformation of the obscured hindrances in human survival, precisely eliminating all limitations and obstacles.
This great path fosters benevolent intentions towards all humanity. It dispels the ignorance of the past across all religious beliefs and processes of existence, enabling genuine elevation and transcendence for all beings. Through this function, it truthfully manifests the nurturing processes of human life in the world.
Regarding all religious faiths, it is not merely about relying on religious beliefs alone. One must truthfully recognize what human beings are meant to accomplish in this lifetime on earth. It is not just about "eating, drinking, excreting, sleeping," and carrying on the family line. It is essential to understand how such limitations can bind one's future throughout this life.
It is not only human beings who face the "end of life." Thus, most human beings who enter religious faith merely offer support and protection, fundamentally unable to ascend, elevate, or transcend. They are only adherents of religious faith, yet they cannot take responsibility for themselves or achieve a return to transcendence.
The true Buddha carries out teachings and transformation.
It is precisely the celestial Buddhas and immortals from the heavens above who descend to bestow upon the human world the source of sustenance. However, for ordinary sentient beings, they can only rely on the support from the middle heavenly realms. It is exceedingly difficult for them to access the abundant resources descended from the "Void and Wuji Heavenly Realms," which are essential for truly attaining "illuminating the mind, seeing one's nature, awakening, and realizing enlightenment" as a foundation.
It can be said: the teachings and karmic connections of all religions in the human world are, for the most part, merely about returning in the next life, revolving again and again in repeated cycles! Rarely is there one like the sublime karmic connection of the Chongxin lineage, which can manifest in the present moment for me, allowing me to truly understand and take responsibility for this very life of mine!
Similarly, with regard to the next life, there is goodness that ascends and returns to the fundamental nature of transcendence. In this context, it is said: the true Buddha of the Great Way descends into the mundane world in its true nature, and also genuinely analyzes and imparts the mysteries accumulated over thousands of years into the "Great Way Series of Heavenly Scriptures." This, in turn, represents the only series of heavenly scriptures in the human world.
With the technological and civilizational evolution of the vast cosmos and celestial systems, I will surely be able to discern the truth in the future. As for the mysteries of the entire universe and its galaxies, I will truly be able to traverse the heavens and the earth. Such an extraordinary opportunity in this human world is rarely afforded, allowing one to understand: How should I, in this very moment, return to my origin!
The Cause and Condition of the True Buddha's Teachings
In this very lifetime, it is essential to sincerely learn all the subtle mysteries of the immortal Buddhas and teachers, and to genuinely transform and eliminate the karmic obstacles accumulated from past lives. This is the standard of conduct in the human world. Thus, the "True Buddha" is profoundly practical, descending from the realms of the void and the boundless celestial heavens to manifest within the human world.
Throughout these thousands of years, the sublime truths have never truly descended into the human world. Particularly regarding the Buddhist "Consciousness-Only doctrine," it is used to evaluate the "Heavenly Books of the Great Dao Series" of the Chongxin Sect lineage. This is precisely what the "New Consciousness-Only doctrine" specializes in, aiming to distill the essence of the five major teachings and bring them down to the human realm.
This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, which has already been fully disseminated. Moreover, with regard to the previous thirty-six volumes, it can be propagated truthfully across the world. However, for the remaining four volumes, only the training of teachers and instructors can be imparted. This is the profound mystery of the Great Way and True Buddha, achieved step by step in truth, to attain future elevation and transcendence.
One can traverse the different realms of the cosmic galaxies of the "Great Dao." Thus, in the "True Buddha," one can discern and take responsibility for oneself, fostering the growth of the "Heart Sect." It is precisely the "Church" that, for the multitude of sentient and virtuous beings in this lifetime, guides their return to the "Void Celestial Realm and the Immortal Land of the Wuji." Those who traverse this path achieve a state of excellent and complete transcendence.
The Heart Sect has come to elevate.
It is through the worldly teachings and karmic connections that it is revealed to me: how, within a community or organization, one can truthfully bring forth the initiation of the Heart School's teachings to address all the deficiencies and shortcomings accumulated over millions of years. For me, it is essential to achieve realization in this very lifetime, thus fostering virtuous and supreme karmic conditions for growth.
Within this community, there arises a profound and authentic awareness of the present moment and how one may advance toward the holistic expansion of the collective. It requires the gathering of numerous talents to amass substantial strength, enabling each individual, within their respective roles, to cultivate themselves to a state of perfection. Thus, one may genuinely discern how to integrate the power of the "self" into the greater whole.
How, then, can we gather the driving force for upward growth to promote the overall dissemination of truth? This is taught by the School of the Heart, guiding us step by step toward maturation. Thus, for me in the present moment, there are the teachings and protection of the immortals and buddhas, as well as the opportunity for learning and growth, allowing me to steadily advance toward the exploration of the cosmic galaxies.
This is a fundamental and rare virtuous affinity in the human world, which allows one to understand: How should I, in this lifetime, strive to "repay karmic debts accumulated over lifetimes, restore truth through the illusory, fulfill heaven-endowed missions, and transcend with contemporary technology"? All of these necessitate personal effort to achieve growth!
The Church must gather its strength.
It is through the human community on Earth that we respond to and transform the entire space of the underworld star, faithfully elevating and transcending all four hundred million Buddhist disciples worldwide, as well as the ninety-two original spirit children. In addressing the return of over two million high-tech talents, this growth is essential for the Chongxin lineage, and these tasks are to be faithfully accomplished.
Only then can the duties and missions entrusted by Heaven be truly and practically fulfilled. Moreover, all the diligent efforts of virtuous beings will surely accumulate genuine "merits and hidden virtues." For me, in this human world, it has already been achieved as a benefit in the process of transcending through "learning to be human, learning to be divine, learning to be a Bodhisattva, and learning to be a Buddha."
This church, when genuinely extended into the human world, accumulates merits for all, thereby creating a foundation for the future. Through human efforts, it grows upward, and with the propagation and expansion of the "Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association," it benefits both oneself and the vast multitude of sentient beings, which is the true nature of reality.
The true Buddha-heart lineage of the Great Dao opens,  
The foundation of the teaching assembly was arranged long ago.
A solid foundation laid over eighteen years,  
In the year Yiwu, three yangs herald prosperity's dawn.
Life is a journey of hardship and grinding, yet one must strive to achieve a self of accomplishment.
All the hardships endured in this present life  
Will lead to future attainment in the Buddha-land.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: only by combining human efforts with the protection and teachings of Heaven and the enlightened teachers can we truly propagate the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association" in this world. Through this, we can achieve our own cultivation while also guiding all sentient beings. Thank you all for your dedicated companionship in this work. Until we meet again!
Chapter Ten: The Theory of Consciousness-Only in Daily Use
## The Celestial Worthy of the Infinite Descent of the Dao
March 10, 2015, the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The cause and condition of the Wuji is truly sublime;  
At the central platform, the stage is set to gather virtuous students.
Marshal Gu Chui is both adorable and endearing, bringing auspicious blessings to all for ten thousand prosperous years.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Human Heaven from the Void, the Lord of the Great Tao True Buddha, has descended through our lineage to compose the first installment. This initial chapter of "The Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Society" is analyzed to help everyone understand how to achieve virtuous elevation in this present life!
Through genuine interaction and mutual support, we can ascend, elevate, transcend, and return to our true nature. This is a rare and precious opportunity in the human realm, serving to address and transform the inadequacies, deficiencies, and errors present in all contemporary religious beliefs and ways of life. It also serves as a genuine means to extend and share this precious opportunity with others. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance and support will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can join in the effort to grow together, for this will bring about beneficial and positive energy for all. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell for now!
Chapter Eleven: The Great Dao and Its Truth, Manifested in the Human World
##Nanping Daoci Ancient Buddha
March 13, 2015, the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Friday)
In the Southern Continent of Jambudvīpa, the Great Way is proclaimed,  
Where pearls and treasures in the sea bring harmony and wondrous grace.
In ancient times, virtue was praised; now it is restored anew.  
The Buddha speaks of auspiciousness and good fortune.
The Conditions for the Grand Dao's Vast Transformation
For all human beings, there will be good foundations to rely upon, granting each individual, in the conditions of livelihood and cultivation, a fair and equal opportunity to practice and to choose, as well as to achieve distinctions. This, for the sentient beings of the human world, will clarify the practices I undertake in the human realm.
In every task, whether it is carried out to the stage of perfection determines the completeness of one's growth. From the perspective of the human world, such practice tends to foster greater goodness and progress. For most ordinary people, their practice may not be entirely perfect; they simply accomplish the task at hand, without concerning themselves too much with anything beyond that.
In essence, the human world is fundamentally defined by limitations and obstacles that cannot be fully overcome. Consequently, even when people undertake any task, they may not necessarily achieve a state of perfect thought or fulfillment. The very existence of human beings, who often fail to grasp this key insight, reflects the inherent imperfection of the human realm.
In this world, the necessity of observing all actions arises from the fact that human beings often intervene in the course of events based on their own interests. Consequently, it becomes impossible for humanity to achieve perfection in every matter within the orientation of survival. This is the teaching imparted by the sages and Buddhas.
The True Buddha further teaches according to the guidance of the Immortal Buddha Master.
As the guiding principle to rely upon, thus, sentient beings in the chain of affairs mutually assist yet do not fully comprehend: how then should each matter be practiced to achieve what is called a "state of perfection"? For religious practitioners, the necessity is simply this; such conditions are required for humanity in the sustenance of life.
One can approach every encountered matter by practicing what is called the "state of perfection." This is not about how to do it; in fact, whether every good practice in each matter achieves the state of perfection will inevitably shape every action taken, all imbued with a sense of "perfection"!
This is the essential practice that true cultivators must adhere to, not merely completing it as a task. However, it does not necessarily lead to the perfect state of truthfulness, precisely because human beings often fail to achieve perfection in every endeavor. Moreover, constrained by their own limitations, humans are unable to fully understand themselves, which is precisely what allows for upward growth.
It is not merely about the human realm, but about continuously and repeatedly perfecting every matter and entity in the cycle of existence. This means relying on human actions as a foundation, and it should be applied to all actions within the chain of affairs. Only then can one attain a state of perfection. This is the path of the "Bodhisattva," practiced with the aspiration to reach the "fruition of Buddhahood."
The School of Mind takes education as its fundamental principle.
In fact, when it comes to the nuances and intricacies of every task, human beings fundamentally fail to achieve perfection in any single endeavor, often resulting in subpar outcomes. If humanity wishes to ascend, grow, and transcend, it is essential to strive for the utmost excellence in every undertaking.
It has been faithfully brought to a state of perfection. Over the course of eighteen years, the Chongxin lineage has thoroughly integrated the essence of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam into the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books." This integration encompasses the journey of human beings from birth into the world, further enriched by the practice of ethical norms and principles.
At the same time, all the deficiencies and shortcomings of human beings, as well as the forgotten teachings, are deeply implanted into the eighth consciousness of humanity. In this way, human beings will come to understand and truly benefit from "illuminating the mind, seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of practice." If everyone can comprehend and grasp the essence of Master Li Xin Chan's "Direct Entry into the Dharma through Seeing One's True Nature," they will achieve genuine realization.
It has already been discerned that, regarding all the intricacies and subtleties passed down over thousands of years, this approach is profoundly authentic, differing from the practices of ordinary meditators. This distinction is significant, as it directly enters into the nature of human beings and all sentient beings. Within all natures, distinctions are made: the Buddha-nature, the demonic nature, and the ordinary nature.
The church is an institution that uses the veneration of the mind and the lineage of the teachings to carry out its mission of education and transformation.
Within this "nature-to-nature discernment" lies the once-in-a-millennium "direct method of perceiving one's true nature." It precisely takes teaching as its foundation, offering everyone an opportune moment to experience the profound function of teachings that have never descended to the human realm for countless millennia. This allows for a thorough understanding of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit."
Returning to the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" for detailed study, each time brings new perspectives and benefits. This unique insight, absent in traditional religious scriptures, truly guides one toward a more authentic transcendence. Through this, one gains profound rewards, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.
Over the past eighteen years of foundation-building, significant and favorable returns have been achieved. This offers everyone the opportunity in a single lifetime to genuinely fulfill the "repayment of karmic debts accumulated across lifetimes" and to accomplish the "completion of one's innate mission." Through this, one may attain the "return to authenticity by cultivating truth through the illusory," all made possible by "transcending with contemporary technology," thereby benefiting from these extraordinary conditions and causes.
Transcendence of the Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association
It is essential to observe whether each student and disciple can genuinely devote effort to the detailed study and contemplation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," and whether they can truthfully integrate such profound celestial mysteries into their daily lives. Only then can they authentically manifest the present "self" and understand how to advance forward, achieving greater transcendence and return.
When the "church" functions with great sincerity and truthfulness, it fosters the growth of goodness. Thus, the church exists in the human world to uphold and practice its teachings, nurturing connections through the education of all matters. This yields varied benefits and rewards, which arise from human factors. As for how I should proceed in the present moment, only by achieving such rewards can it be considered the right path.
Within this orientation, one can discern whether I have truly and completely fulfilled the innate mission bestowed upon me in this present life. This is precisely due to the extraordinary affinity of the "Dadao Zhenfo Xin Zongjiao Hui" (Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association), which has, over the course of eighteen years, solidly established all foundations, thereby fostering genuine upward growth for all sentient beings.
The Great Dao descends to transform the mortal realm;  
The True Buddha guides, adding virtue and grace.
The School of the Heart cultivates hidden virtue,  
Teaching all to extend their blessings and fortune.
For eighteen years, the lineage of the Chongxin Sect has been established, its foundation solid and blessed with fertile fields of merit.
Humanity must practice cultivation; the new Three Bonds and Five Constants benefit the world.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it also truthfully conveys the profound affinity of the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association" into the Great Way True Buddha Heart School, serving as a necessary impetus for the upward growth of all students and followers of the school. Well, thank you all for your companionship and efforts in this work. Farewell for now!
Chapter Twelve: The Great Dao Series—Interpreting Humanity
## The Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation of the Ultimate
March 17, 2015, the 27th day of the first lunar month (Tuesday) in the yǐwèi year.
The Supreme Celestial of Limitless Radiance ascends,
Gathering together all wise beings of sentience.
May all be auspicious and well, spreading virtue and grace to all living beings.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators! Today, the Lord of the Great Dao True Buddha, the Immortal Buddha of the South Sea Ancient Buddha, has descended to compose this work. This is the second installment of the analysis from the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion, offering everyone new insights and fostering wholesome growth in each individual's mindset.
Through the insights gained from the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," everyone can achieve significant growth and elevation. It is essential to understand that enduring the hardships of this lifetime is the true path for oneself! Today we have reached this point, and tomorrow will be the third day of the week. All guidance and support continue as usual. We hope everyone will join together in learning and growing, striving diligently!
Chapter Thirteen: Reverence for the Heart Without Bounds, The Academy of the Great Dao
##Lord of the Southern Heaven, Sage Emperor Wén Héng
March 20, 2015, the first day of the second month in the year of Yiwei (Friday)
Namo, all beings are Tathagatas,  
The Dharma of the Lamp-Lighting Mind is skillfully arranged.
The Ancient Buddha descended to bestow the Great Dao scriptures;  
With reverence, the heart establishes the foundation, blessings and grace unfold.
Establishing a foundation with a devoted heart brings blessings to all humanity.
The establishment of the Chongxin Sect lineage and its hall has now spanned over eighteen years. This process, which began with the nurturing of a single child through holistic educational training, has now advanced to the "higher education level." Thus, it can be understood that for a human being, it is akin to the journey from a crying infant in need of care to the emergence of an adult form.
Thus, over the course of eighteen years, this has been the case for the Chongxin lineage. Through virtuous and favorable conditions, it has evolved and grown. During this time, many different conditions have contributed to the lineage as a whole, truly discerning and dissolving the past ignorance and obstacles of the human world. In this process, virtuous elevation and transcendence are essential.
Thus, there will be those who truly benefit from this. Such causes and conditions have manifested for the Chongxin lineage over the course of eighteen years, genuinely revealing these causes and conditions through actions in the human world. From these conditions, one can understand: for my present life, how should I progress upward and elevate myself? It is essential to accumulate virtuous merits in secret!
It is not only religious faith that constitutes spiritual practice; this is not the fundamental principle of the Chongxin Sect. It is essential to incorporate all the diverse manifestations of human life into this causal condition as a foundation for the future. In this way, the shortcomings of the human world from the past can be genuinely addressed through the exceptional causal conditions of the Chongxin Sect, enabling upward growth, elevation, and transcendence.
The foundation of the Chongxin Temple has been firmly established.
Such conditions, over the course of these eighteen years, have enabled the celestial immortals and buddhas—our revered teachers—to repeatedly descend from afar, regardless of the vast distance, to the Chongxin lineage to compose the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This remains the only set of sublime works in the human world, emerging now to elevate and transcend the beings of humanity in the present moment!
This causal condition refers to the eighteen years spent, issue by issue and volume by volume, in writing the world's unique "Dadao Series Classics." It has also truthfully completed all thirty-six volumes that can be disseminated externally. What is currently being written is the third installment of the thirty-eighth volume, which aims to clarify how humanity can benefit from it.
All that is recorded in religious scriptures about the past merely presents it within the framework of traditional ethical norms, without conveying the details and subtleties in a way that allows people to truly understand and distinguish them. Thus, it is left to each individual to comprehend and integrate these insights according to their own experience.
Due to the varying innate qualities and conditions of each individual, it results in the following: even when receiving teachings from the same immortal or Buddha, the understanding each person gains is fundamentally different in nature. Just as the levels and perspectives of realization differ from person to person, so too do the insights attained. These distinct realizations are then integrated into each individual's comprehension.
The Unique Great Dao Series of Celestial Books
When one arrives to discern and manifest across various levels and realms, while simultaneously immersing oneself in such causes and conditions, each individual’s perspective will inevitably differ. In this human world, it thus becomes apparent: to discern the processes of past classics and writings—what level does that represent! Within this very function, the realizations of each person are distinguished.
It can be understood that the Chongxin lineage differs from ordinary writings in its approach. Its content is no longer presented in the traditional celestial script format but is instead composed in a "vernacular style." This style employs language comprehensible to people in the present world, conveying the mysteries of heaven and earth and the evolutionary processes of the universe through these celestial texts.
It employs a rather vernacular style, truthfully analyzing the "impact of cosmic galaxies on human civilization" and future calamities, as well as all life orientations from birth to engagement in the world. Written in a remarkably candid and plain style, it has also fundamentally transformed the modes of literary composition that prevailed for thousands of years.
Technological civilization must beware of man-made disasters.
It no longer relies on the literary style of spirit writing from the sacred tradition to convey its teachings to the world. This approach truly transcends the methods of past writings. If it merely spoke of the regulations of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Anchors, and Eight Virtues, it would fail to address how future technological advancements will surpass humanity and what precautions should be taken.
In addition to all natural and man-made disasters, after distinguishing between various calamities, the advancement of all technological civilizations in the human world—specifically in the realms of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, education, and entertainment—brings tangible benefits. By genuinely evolving such technologies to eliminate the sufferings of all sentient beings, this represents the manifestation of a remarkably high level of wisdom.
It also truthfully analyzes the calamities that may befall the human world, "foreseeing the subtle signs" of each one. The existence of humanity does not rely solely on the evolution of heaven and earth; moreover, it is validated through preparedness. How, then, should the progress of all civilizations in the human world proceed? How can the calamities of this world be prevented in advance!
The Immortal Buddhas and Teachers of Chongxin gave an early warning.
To avoid the predicament of being "inescapably doomed," the celestial and Buddhist teachers have thoroughly analyzed all the spatial limitations and obstacles of the underworld star, detailing their origins and implications. They have also truthfully shared various preventive methods, enabling everyone to take preemptive measures. In light of this, what might come to mind regarding the future of technological civilization?
In an era where technology is highly advanced yet the "ethical regulations" governing humanity have completely vanished, this has prompted the Heavens to bestow upon the Chongxin lineage such steadfast determination and perseverance to disseminate the "New Three Bonds and Constants" for refinement. This is to facilitate the flourishing of all future technologies in the human world, which, however, faces a profound sense of indifference and vicissitude in the human heart.
How can such effects be cultivated and transformed? It is through the preemptive arrangements made by the Supreme Heavens, manifested through the Chongxin lineage in its writings. By revising and transforming past ignorance and obstacles, and implementing the principles of the "New Three Bonds," a considerable and benevolent preventive cause is established, truly guiding human society toward greater transcendence.
Technological civilization drives evolution, human genes must ascend.
All things are created distinct,
Hence the fine tales of mankind arise.
Understanding technology is essential;  
Sentient beings leap back to their origins.
The foundation of the Chongxin Temple has been firmly established,  
and the dissemination of truth is being diligently promoted.
This verse is shared among fellow human beings as mutual encouragement: having established the foundation of Chongxin for eighteen years with steadfastness, it is now essential to commence its widespread propagation. Thus, the complete set of thirty-six volumes shall be promulgated throughout the world. This will foster favorable connections within the human realm, gathering a "Vanguard of the Great Dao" to promote and expand its teachings—this is the rightful path! Thank you all for your diligent companionship in this endeavor. Gratitude to everyone. Farewell!
Chapter Fourteen: The Supreme Path of Wuji, The Academy's Excellence
## Wuji Hongyang Tianzun
March 27, 2015, the eighth day of the second lunar month in the yimao year (Friday)
The boundless cause and condition elevate the heart,  
Descending the Tao upon the world in auspicious hours.
The Celestial Venerable descends today to oversee the cycle,  
The Great Dao's true Buddha scriptures are now complete.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, our lineage's Great Patriarch, the Ancient Buddha Namo Dipamkara, descended to compose the third installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion. This has firmly established the foundation of the Chongxin lineage, enabling it to be genuinely propagated and promoted to the outside world.
Let us all strive together with anticipation! With good and virtuous causes and conditions, we shall gather for the flourishing of the Chongxin "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association." Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. The day after tomorrow marks a small Dharma assembly of our sect, and we hope everyone will join in the effort. It is essential to understand that this is for internal members only, not open to the public, as it will benefit the future expansion of the Chongxin sect. That concludes today's matters. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell.
Chapter Fifteen: The Teachings of the Wuji Great Dao Academy
##Southern Palace Emperor of Assisting Blessings
March 31, 2015, the twelfth day of the second lunar month in the yimao year (Tuesday)
Nanping stands as a guardian, shielding all living beings;  
Daoji fosters harmony, with benevolence reaching its zenith.
The ancient Buddha descends to bestow the celestial scriptures;  
The Great Way and true Buddha shall surely be accomplished.
The Function of the Great Dao
It will guide the removal of various religious obscurations and obstacles, providing sentient beings with virtuous reliance. At the same time, it will integrate this exceptional condition into each individual's life orientation. In this way, it can be understood that following the "Great Dao" is a natural practice, truly guiding humanity toward the Middle Way.
Human beings will then begin to contemplate: What is the purpose of "my" existence in this life within the human world? And what role must I fulfill to realize that my present state is one of upward cultivation and growth? In this way, all kinds of religious ignorance and obstacles in the human world can be dissolved. In the present era, this is not limited to just one religion alone.
This will not enable sentient beings to ascend and grow; instead, it will confine them within an obstacle that prevents growth. How, then, can sentient beings transcend and advance upward? It is indeed difficult! To genuinely dissolve this limitation and obstacle, it is essential to address the constraints imposed by religious ignorance and doctrinal barriers. But how can these be resolved?
For the general populace, it is exceedingly difficult to discern. As for such obscurations of ignorance, even through the refinement of various religions, they remain unrecognized: how, then, am I to understand their causes? Regarding the obscurations of ignorance found in various religions—such as religious obstructions, doctrinal obstructions, delusions, confusions, and obstructions of knowledge—it is through the human world that their propagation and transformation are carried out.
The True Refuge of a Buddha's Disciple
It is essential to understand: When the "True Buddha" descends into the human world, it manifests through the assistance of celestial immortals and buddhas in aiding the Way. What, then, is the nature of such a rare and profound cause and condition? Only the Chongxin lineage in the entire world possesses this. For other lineages to attain the genuine resources for guiding sentient beings, they must rely on even more virtuous and exceptional causes and conditions accumulated over countless lifetimes.
Therefore, for human beings, why must there be a virtuous causal foundation? It is precisely because within the innate potential, it is essential to manifest truthfully, rather than merely understanding it in a general sense! Correspondingly, it is necessary to truly comprehend the accumulated merits and resources from all past kalpas, in order to elevate the present era.
How, then, can the resources accumulated across different kalpas in the past be brought down and disseminated? This necessitates the "regeneration of memory." All orientations for human existence thus progress step by step toward growth, following the guidance of the revered lineage of the Chongxin Sect's immortal and buddha teachers. Each step leaves a solid footprint, and in this steadfast manifestation, one can attain benefit.
Regarding the various forms of ignorance in worldly sustenance and spiritual cultivation, these can be addressed through the accumulation of experience. How should one proceed? And how can one ascend further? It can be affirmed that, within the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, some of the immortal and buddha teachers are not sages or buddhas who attained their status in the human realm!
The True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao
Rather, from ancient times to the present, long before the formation of the Earthly Nether Star System, they have already existed throughout the entire cosmic galaxy! Therefore, it is said: the energies of these ancient sages and Buddha teachers have never descended into the human world, yet they genuinely purify all impurities of the mortal realm, thereby enabling the essential growth of goodness to ascend upward.
The "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association" employs this name to propagate its teachings across the globe, and even more so to elevate the entire cosmic galaxy. Such a rare and exceptional set of conditions and affinities has, over tens of thousands of years, been uniquely possessed by the "Chongxin Sect Lineage" alone. Should any other place raise the banner of the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sect"!
It is merely a branch hall bearing the name; it could never surpass the exceptional conditions of the Chongxin Sect lineage. Fundamentally, it lacks the affinity of Chongxin, which enabled the compilation of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," totaling thirty-six volumes, all of which have been completed and promulgated for the benefit of the world. Now, the compilation of these four additional volumes merely serves to remedy past deficiencies.
It merely serves to supplement what has not been written in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This approach, which transcends the historical distinctions among all religions in the human world, will naturally manifest through extraordinary affinities! For the Chongxin Sect, it represents a remarkably 'innate' and transcendent lineage, and only the Chongxin Sect is capable of producing such virtuous writings.
The Great Dao and True Buddha are being propagated globally.
These future generations of humanity will greatly yearn for and admire the current teachings of the Chongxin lineage and its disciples. They will deeply envy your present opportunity to study alongside the immortal and buddha teachers, co-authoring the essential textbooks of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" for growth, and genuinely integrating such conditions into each individual's understanding.
Especially in the next fifty years or so, all religions of humanity will flourish simultaneously. They will truthfully guide the past affinities of the Ninety-Two Original Spirits and the Four Hundred Million Buddha-Disciples according to various karmic systems. Among these, various "professionals and experts" will be distinguished to carry forward and promote these teachings.
To truly transcend the spatial realm of the Earth and the underworld, and to progress toward a more sublime return and growth, it must be understood that the emergence of all religions in the human world—Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam—is but a manifestation of a single religion. In the present era, humanity is gradually breaking away from the past practice of adhering exclusively to one religious tradition. In the future, a trend of integration is bound to take shape.
In the world of men, there is only the belief in a single religion.
Just as it is true that by integrating the essence of all past singular religions into other various religions, one can discern: for my future life, delving into the essence of various religions will surely reduce much effort of groping and struggle. It can also be said: this extraordinary divine opportunity and good affinity is gradually descending and spreading!
Regarding the works dedicated to the Chongxin lineage, the world's unique "Great Dao Series," do all virtuous students feel immensely gratified? This will also lead to excellent growth and transcendence. To put it plainly, it will certainly reduce the thirty to fifty years of exploration you might otherwise spend in other religious traditions, allowing you to comprehend through the "Direct Insight into Nature Method."
The key to this lies in the subtle details, which involve genuinely elevating and transcending your functions and roles. From the perspective of all religions in the human world, this will undoubtedly be achieved, fostering virtuous causes and conditions for growth. This is absolutely true. Only the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" of the Chongxin lineage, unparalleled in the world, are promulgated across the globe and the cosmic realm. Can you discern this?
The pace of growth is now steady,  
The universal truth is thoroughly upheld.
All living beings endure suffering and trials,  
Through this life's passage, they attain aid and accomplishment.
The abilities of all human beings must be understood to complement one another.
Step by step, each footprint leaves a mark,  
Thus sowing seeds of goodness for a fortunate destiny.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, fellow human beings; to bestow these sublime provisions and resources within the heavenly texts of the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association"—how may I receive them? One should also earnestly examine all of one's own shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors. Such conditions of cause and circumstance can lead to future accomplishments!
Nor will we remain confined within the barriers that hinder our ascent. Everyone must understand this—reflect deeply upon it! Today, your teacher has come once again. How shall we achieve fulfillment? The three cups of tea prepared earlier may be brought forth for blessing, allowing a touch of the immortals’ and buddhas’ energy to be added. The large pot is shared with all for purification and drinking, and additional blessings of fortune and affinity are bestowed upon everyone.
These conditions are gradually coming to an end for all sacred duties this year. Today is already the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and in one more month, all tasks of the Jiawu year will be concluded. We look forward to the Yimao year next year, which will be a greatly auspicious year for the Chongxin lineage. Thank you all for your hard work. I, your teacher, must also go to lead (or partake in) the ceremony. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Sixteen: Promoting the Boundless, The Great Dao Academy
## The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Principle Sutra
April 3, 2015, the fifteenth day of the second lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Friday)
The Wuji Fruit Rank was established early,  
To universally transform all beings and ascend the platform ceremony.
The Heavenly Venerable arrives today to take his turn on duty,  
Together they compile the final chapters of the celestial scriptures.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha Teacher, the Daoist Sage of Nanping, has descended to compose the fourth installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion. This extraordinary affinity has been bestowed to guide the future propagation and salvation of the Chongxin Sect, gradually enabling it to achieve broader elevation and transcendence.
This extraordinary affinity has gradually come into fruition. You may gradually come to understand it through the internet, as the guidance for spreading the teachings worldwide is rooted in the truths of heaven and earth. All the different beliefs in the human world, in relation to your own unique mission in this lifetime:
Repaying the karmic debts of lifetimes  
Fulfilling the mission bestowed by heaven
Cultivating the True through the False to Return to the Origin  
Transcending Contemporary Technology
With the establishment and promotion of the "Dadao Zhen Fo Xin Zongjiao Hui" (Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association) for propagation and guidance, it truly serves to spread the teachings, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will join in the effort to promote the teachings, while also warmly welcoming back our fellow brothers and sisters of good affinity. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Seventeen: The Sole Ultimate, Great Dao Academy
## The True Lord of the Nine Heavens, Master of Fate
April 7, 2015, Yiyou Year, Second Month, Nineteenth Day (Tuesday)
The Emperor of Literary Balance, Sovereign of the Southern Heavens,  
Grand Chairman of the Chongxin Sect Lineage.
Promote and develop the new Three Guiding Principles, a fine opportunity to benefit humanity with virtue.
The Only Great Path Series: Celestial Scriptures
The School of the Revered Heart lineage utilizes the "Heavenly Texts of the Great Dao Series" to respond to and transform all human orientations toward survival and religious faith as its foundation. This guiding principle, after one enters into religious belief, often brings to light profound ignorance within one's faith and the process of nurturing life. How, then, does this manifestation arise?
Nor can it be dispelled by the opportunities of daily survival; instead, one sinks deeper and deeper. Thus, for this life of mine, how should I enter into religious faith and the process of nurturing life, so as to guide what can bring me upward growth and benefit? And how can I genuinely dissolve such bondage? For my present moment, how should I eliminate these limitations and obstacles?
The Chongxin Sect lineage series of celestial texts, which have been completed and are now suitable for public release, address the process of faith and livelihood for all human beings. For those who aspire to spiritual growth and wish to align it with the conditions of their livelihood, it is essential to have a foundation of faith. In light of this, how should I approach the noble religions of the world as a source of faith?
In the realms of livelihood and faith, humanity can achieve mutual reinforcement without necessarily separating religious belief from the sustenance of life. For many human beings, it may be difficult to comprehend why the Heavenly Realm has entrusted the Chongxin lineage with the task of composing the unparalleled and extraordinary "Dadao Series of Celestial Books." What, then, are the primary reasons behind this?
In all the world, there is but this one series—the Dadao series.
In contrast, it also disseminates the "Abhidharma" that is not mentioned in any contemporary religious scriptures to the human world. For the general populace, this merely enters the realm of faith, yet it fails to distinguish that sentient beings are capable of upward growth and elevation. It truthfully dispels the delusions accumulated over thousands of years.
The resources and merits that were previously unable to be disseminated downward have now been elevated upward, creating conditions and affinities. Under the predetermined policies of Heaven, these have been imparted to the Chongxin Sect lineage. Over the course of eighteen years, this has genuinely fostered the guidance of the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin Sect, embodying the principle that "strict teachers produce outstanding disciples." Thus, the exceptional writings of the Chongxin Sect lineage have come into being.
Moreover, it is absolutely incomparable to ordinary temples or shrines. It truly and faithfully documents the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, completing the entire series of thirty-six volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." This endeavor, spanning eighteen years, was accomplished without any compromise, delay, or interruption in the process of its creation.
Such conditions and circumstances allow for the attainment of the "trustworthiness and reliability" as well as "commendable credibility" bestowed by the Heavenly Realm. For the Chongxin Sect, this means steadfastly dedicating oneself to establishing the destiny for all living beings under heaven and accomplishing, one by one, the duties and missions entrusted by the Heavenly Realm. Thus, it only remains for you to revise and refine the "Great Tao Series" before it must be promoted.
The Dadao series of celestial texts is exceedingly vast.
That will suffice. Regarding the vastness of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" as a whole, it can be said that these works truly address whether humanity can derive genuine benefit and truly comprehend the mysteries within. They are precisely crafted for human beings after their birth, to be practiced in the course of livelihood and faith.
For me, how can I practically transform all past ignorance and obstacles? By truly addressing the human world, there will be good and virtuous causes and conditions, fostering how I can further grow and transcend! This supreme embodiment of causes and conditions has already become a virtuous growth for all students and followers of the Chongxin lineage.
However, it remains uncertain whether all students and disciples can grasp the inner subtleties and mysteries contained within the "Heavenly Texts of the Great Dao Series." Correspondingly, it is essential to devote sincere effort toward achieving genuine spiritual elevation in this lifetime, rather than merely joining the Chongxin Sect as a student or disciple.
These conditions are bound to benefit everyone, allowing each to rely on themselves for good, and others will also benefit! All that can be publicly disclosed has been fully completed in the Tian Shu series, comprising thirty-six volumes, which are now sincerely promulgated for the benefit of the world. Such unparalleled excellence stands alone, with no second to compare or manifest its like.
All the extraordinary causes and conditions of the Chongxin lineage
In particular, the Chongxin lineage, through the essence of Buddhism, Daoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam, can be said to have largely transmitted its teachings into the celestial texts. Whether such profound engagement can truly be realized in the human world, and whether one can genuinely enter the "direct insight into one's nature" to attain liberation, precisely addresses the "mutual transformation of Buddha and Mara"!
It is believed that no religion in the vast world dares to address this, precisely because it is beyond their own comprehension. Why must "Buddha and demon" undergo mutual transformation? This is a profound mystery of heaven and earth, revealed within the "Dadao Series of Celestial Texts." Let us all ponder carefully: if humanity has always assumed that Buddha is good and virtuous!
Moreover, demons are malevolent and vile. If you have not entered into their realm, how can you comprehend the transformations within demonic nature? On the contrary, lacking even this understanding, many religious believers fundamentally fail to discern these matters. All such phenomena arise from their own "inner demons" and are also manifested by their own "inner Buddha."
Thus, if one lacks even this kind of immunity, how can one truly position oneself to ascend, grow, and transcend? It is far too difficult! Therefore, in this world, it is essential to carefully examine one's own "nature of mind and discernment," and to delve into the mutual interplay between the "Buddha-mind and the demon-mind." Only then can genuine growth and elevation be achieved!
The content of the Dadao series is exceedingly vast.
If light were only focused on the mutual transformation between Buddha and Mara, one might wonder which religious scripture or treatise in the world today truly discerns the nature of "like attracting like." Indeed, this is profoundly difficult! It is by no means a task that ordinary individuals can undertake. Within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," each volume addresses a distinct theme!
It has also practically descended such mysteries: the mysteries of the universe, the mysteries of the stars, the mysteries of heaven and earth, the mysteries of humanity, the mysteries of technology... In other words, these celestial secrets and profound mysteries have been truthfully bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage for compilation. Without the innate wisdom contained within the Light of the Heart Zen Master, it would be impossible to discern the essence of the Buddhist "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra."
Furthermore, through the mutual resonance between celestial beings and Buddhas, the overall essence of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra" is addressed, and its mysteries and key points are truly discerned. This is not something an ordinary spirit medium can accomplish; it requires genuine inner cultivation to manifest and disseminate, which then gives rise to the present extraordinary work.
Thus, one can truly comprehend the actual meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth, and initiate the "successors of cosmic life." Such remarkably extraordinary conditions are unique to the Chongxin lineage alone; there is no other school capable of understanding this celestial mystery. It must be initiated by the Supreme Heaven to genuinely grasp its essence and understand how to ascend and benefit from it.
The lineage of the Heart-Honoring School comes forth to compose,  
constructing the Celestial Texts of the Great Dao series.
Bestowed upon all humanity,  
Use it well to reap abundant benefits.
This secret is endlessly profound,  
Hard to grasp without understanding its principle.
If one only observes the surface,  
The essence within the principles cannot be clearly grasped.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it also truthfully addresses all students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage. Do you not know whether you will have to come back for another lifetime? If not, then in this present life, you must apply more diligence and endure more toil, so that in the next life you may truly ascend, grow, and return to transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Eighteen: The Revered Lineage of the Heart Sect, An Exalted Responsibility
##The Scripture-Transmitting Bodhisattva from the Western Heaven
April 10, 2015, the twenty-second day of the second lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The decree of Wuji predestined affinity was established long ago,  
Its promotion and dissemination shall endure without end.
The Heavenly Lord descends today to take his turn on duty,  
Gathering together all virtuous companions of the Chongxin Assembly.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Chairman of our lineage, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wenhang, has descended once more to continue the fifth installment of the Celestial Book of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion. It is essential to accurately discern that each installment of the "Great Tao Celestial Book Series" encompasses distinct insights and revelations.
Moreover, it caters to the unique benefits of each individual. Therefore, the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are: truths concealed within truths, celestial secrets hidden within celestial secrets, mysteries embedded within mysteries, subtleties veiled within subtleties, and keys tucked away within keys. One can comprehend how the entire series of celestial books enlightens the "discernment of the heart and nature" of all human beings, while also gaining insight through the "resonance of kindred natures."
How can one further benefit and grow oneself? Perhaps many have already forgotten, so it is worth revisiting and reflecting once more. This will surely bring about good benefits and gains—this is absolutely true. As the years pass, each revisit will yield different insights and rewards. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can join in learning and growing together! Let us strive diligently. Farewell for now, everyone!

The True Buddha of the Great Path, Chapter Six: Heavenly Sounds Spread and Resound Among Humanity
Human beings in the sentient world
Where there is a world of sentient beings, there will be myriad creatures relying on it for sustenance. In all pursuits of nurturing life, such actions within the human realm must first satisfy the basic needs of warmth and nourishment to achieve true comfort and ease. Moreover, through the human world’s impartiality toward all races and all living beings, goodness naturally arises. Thus, the nurturing of life is indispensable.
Through various food chains, these elements are integrated into daily life, thereby achieving true comfort and well-being. However, if we consider the needs of humanity, it is not merely about food chains. Regardless of the era, as long as there are human beings, diverse thoughts and ideas will emerge and become part of the struggle for survival.
Thus, in terms of life orientation, the first is physical comfort, the second is spiritual sustenance. This means that without distinguishing between the two, after achieving comfortable survival, there arises a desire for spiritual solace through deities and inner peace. When humanity finds refuge in this kind of spiritual comfort, it genuinely addresses intangible yearnings. How, then, can the human world truly discern or understand this?
Without distinguishing between races and all living beings, one would turn to the intangible realm for spiritual solace. This lack of distinction across time and space arises because, after human beings acquire a physical body, they would not be considered truly human without the addition of a spiritual essence. So, what is the nature of this reverence for the intangible realm?
All sentient beings have different desires and pursuits.
In the context of various times and conditions, when we make prayers, how are the karmic causes and effects from our past lives formed for each individual? This lies within the orientation of existence, where we rely on both a tangible and an intangible aspect. Thus, the tangible can be enhanced through one's own efforts, leading to favorable growth, while the intangible may not necessarily be attainable through prayer.
Human beings have diverse desires and aspirations, which shape their individual willpower and drive for action. This is worthy of recognition both by humanity itself and by the unseen realms. Such human factors also create differences in whether each person's desires can be fulfilled. In the tangible world, this is observable, but in the intangible realm, it remains beyond comprehension.
Just as I am encountering now, what kind of formless existence is this? From the vast cosmos above to the myriad realms of the underworld below, the distance between them is immeasurably vast. How can one discern the differences in spiritual sustenance—whether it truly yields virtuous returns or fails to do so? Mortals often cannot comprehend: how does the formless realm truly exist?
This leads to an understanding of various celestial and earthly deities, sacred spirits, as well as demons and monsters. Can such perceptions in the human world be grounded in reality? Correspondingly, it also allows one to comprehend how different energy fields form various energetic entities. Thus, one can discern: what kind of intangible energetic entity is being encountered in the present moment!
The voice of heaven spreads among all humanity.
Heavenly Sound Propagation: It is not only utilized by humanity, but also extends to the entire cosmic galaxy. Further down, it compares to the intangible existence within the human world, which attaches itself to the spiritual sustenance sought by sentient beings. This can be understood as: human beings, in turn, hold expectations for the existence of the intangible realm.
There exists a kind of entity that cannot be seen, and because the vision of human beings is limited to comprehending only the tangible realm of the human world, it becomes exceedingly difficult to discern what exists within the intangible space. Consequently, this gives rise to a rather contradictory point of inquiry regarding the intangible space, one that is hard to reconcile or set aside.
Therefore, when it comes to human beings, one can discern from their actions and words in similar situations! This allows one to determine: whether this invisible level is a higher and more advanced level descending to assist? It serves to dissolve all the ignorance and obstacles of human beings, thereby benefiting humanity!
The levels of the formless space are not the same.
If such a high-level intangible realm exists, one would immerse oneself entirely in its subtle influence, which tends to foster upward growth. Conversely, if this intangible realm fails to enable humanity to ascend and elevate, there would be no corresponding source of spiritual sustenance to disseminate downward. Therefore, whether the celestial teachings are propagated depends on the necessity of genuine discernment!
Regarding the intangible influences descending from the third space and their differential benefits to humanity, if they can indeed bring benefit, it is akin to how the dissemination of various religions among human beings today is interpreted by each individual as a distinct upward progression—this is the true nature of reality. Otherwise, it would merely become a matter of survival orientation.
If, at this moment, we can emulate the Chongxin Sect, which has already fully disseminated all publicly available portions of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," the next step would be: a course of teaching theories aimed at all sentient beings, focusing on training mentors in the human world to benefit both themselves and others.
Humanity is willing to accept higher-level cultivation.
Thus, whether the human world is willing to accept this—a truth that, for sentient beings at the outset, is rather difficult to penetrate in its profundity, requiring a long period of immersion and practice before one can wholeheartedly devote oneself to the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts"—such benefit to humanity is something you have long been able to discern.
Regarding the profound meanings that may elude external understanding, this series is faithfully analyzed volume by volume and chapter by chapter, enabling everyone to truly discern: How should I strive for upward growth in this lifetime? Rather than lingering aimlessly in the mundane world, "Heavenly Sound Propagation" is thus bound to benefit all sentient beings!
This will greatly reduce many obstacles to survival, cutting down on 30 to 50 years of aimless groping in the darkness of worldly religious beliefs. It ensures that in this very lifetime, one can directly return to transcendence and also benefit from good and virtuous causes and conditions for growth. Indeed, it is through one's own efforts that one reaps the rewards!
Alas, the sentient beings in this world are born of affection;  
A lifetime of toil is incomparably real.
If it is said that each time one comes to the cycle of rebirth, it is merely a change of male or female form.
How to transcend ignorance? There must be a foundation of inherent clarity.
Do not remain trapped in endless repetition; break free from the cycle and awaken to enlightened awareness.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings to encourage one another. In spreading the divine teachings of the human world, those like the Chongxin lineage are exceedingly rare. It is essential to promote these truths sincerely and extensively so that they may benefit and be cherished by humanity. This is the fundamental principle. Thank you all for your dedicated companionship in this work, and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Until we meet again!
Chapter 20: Buddhist Scriptures Are More Sublime
## The Western Heaven's Path-Research Bodhisattva
April 17, 2015, the twenty-ninth day of the second lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Sutra of Principle ascends,  
Gathering together all wise beings of sentient existence.
May all be auspicious and well,  
And may the promotion of transformation be carried out truthfully.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Fifth Holy Benefactor, the Southern Palace Fu You Emperor, has descended to compose the sixth installment of "The Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion," offering an analysis of "The Propagation of Heavenly Sounds" for the benefit of all sentient beings, providing everyone with the opportunity to truly receive its blessings.
Within this context, addressing both the tangible realm of the human world and the intangible realms of deities, buddhas, immortals, and sages—along with the unseen realm of the underworld—we can discern: Where does the crux of such issues lie? If one can discern this, they are wise; if not, they can only follow others in worship. May we all be among the wise.
Only then can one genuinely progress and elevate upwards; this is the true path! Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to study and grow, benefiting both themselves and all sentient beings! Also note: The day after tomorrow marks the opportunity for the Zen Master to expound the Dharma publicly at Songshan Cihui Hall. Let us all join in this grand event, plan well, and meet again soon!
Chapter Twenty-One: The Five Teachings of the Great Dao — The Non-Action of the Dao
##The Loyal and Martial King, Marshal Yue
April 21, 2015, the third day of the third month in the year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The virtue of the Nine Heavens nourishes all living beings;  
The Director of Fate initiates the creation of humankind in the world.
The True Lord bestows the true scriptures; the treasures of the Great Dao series are thus completed.
The Heavenly Grace Bestowed upon the Chongxin Lineage in the Compilation of Its Works
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect, since the establishment of its hall, has traversed eighteen cycles of time and space, each moment a destiny. Word by word, session by session, volume by volume, it has upheld the profound truths of each celestial scripture, anchoring them in the universal principles of heaven and earth. Such a rare and extraordinary opportunity can truly be said to be scarcely found in the human realm, nurtured as it is by the genuine truths of the cosmos.
Now! The "Dadao Series Celestial Books," starting from the first volume, *The Heart Lamp of Dadao*, have been completed up to the thirty-sixth volume, *The One Family of Dadao*, which has been promulgated for the benefit of the world. These works provide humanity with the understanding that from birth to old age and death, and even after passing away, there is a rare opportunity in this world to elevate, transcend, and achieve a perfect return.
The opportunity to discern this kind of affinity is truly rare. It genuinely addresses the pivotal moments encompassed in all works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," including the various conditions for the survival orientations of all human beings. It incorporates the essence of all five major religions from the past, while also elucidating the comprehensive essence of the 'Mahāprajñāpāramitā Heart Sutra.'
The essence of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra" has also been partially imparted into the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." It can thus be understood that, when compared to the "scriptures and treatises" of all past religions in the present era, this entire series of books can enable sentient beings with heartfelt sincerity to reduce their exploration through time and space by thirty to fifty years.
Dadao Series: Treasures of Humanity
It precisely points to the subtle keys and crucial aspects of the human mind, while also addressing the necessity for all practitioners in the human world to have practical comfort and adequate sustenance during their growth process. This ensures that cultivation does not detach from the human realm, enabling one to comprehend the overall essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" and genuinely incorporate the Buddhist "Consciousness-Only doctrine" into it.
Each of my writings is grounded in the application of "Yogācāra principles," never departing from the conditions that sustain the livelihood of sentient beings. This approach fosters virtuous affinities for sentient beings, enabling them to progress and elevate themselves. Such affinities make it clear that sentient beings in the human world can further evolve into genuine practitioners of religion.
One can thus realize: the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" are by no means ordinary classics. They serve to dissolve all religious confusions and predicaments, while also guiding sentient beings toward an evolutionary understanding of the "true meaning of cosmic evolution." This process genuinely manifests in the human realm as the "dissolution of ignorance," advancing from "enlightened evolution" into the "realization of primordial clarity."
In this world, few truly understand that this series of books is precisely a great provision bestowed by Heaven for the benefit of all. It enables deeper comprehension upon entering religious faith, offers objective answers to many confusions encountered within religion, and thus allows one to grasp the exceedingly rare "Treatise Treasury" in the human realm.
The Sublimity of the Celestial Texts in the Great Tao Series
Reflecting on the ancient scriptures, it becomes clear that few truly align with the achievements of humanity in the present era. Moreover, these texts were composed under the specific circumstances and conditions of their time, and have since been revised and altered by later generations to suit the trends and affairs of their respective ages. As for elevating these scriptures—what can one possibly do?
Can it truly meet the needs of humanity today? It simply does not exist! Yet it also enables one to comprehend the vastness of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," a collection of works profoundly worthy of contemplation by sentient beings in this world. When comparing it with all other classics, one may say: the Dadao Series is immensely beneficial!
It is truly authentic, addressing the "Abhidharma" needed by the current generation and the human world. All these extraordinary conditions have been practically integrated into the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." Each and every work thus distinguishes itself by benefiting the sentient beings of humanity at present, all owing to the great virtue and grace of Heaven, which descends and manifests through the Chongxin lineage and its causes and conditions.
To create a profound and virtuous understanding for the next thousand years of human existence can reduce at least thirty years of aimless exploration for humanity. It simultaneously compensates for the gaps left by many religious scriptures, while bringing forth the essence of the "Tushita Heaven's" inner sanctum into the present moment. This work is offered to all sentient beings with compassion, enabling them to clearly comprehend how to navigate the future.
Treasures of Humanity Series
These exceptional conditions mean that there is no need to wait for the advent of Maitreya Buddha to descend and guide humanity, nor to undergo another cycle of enlightenment. Humanity itself can achieve continuous upward growth, eliminating the necessity of being reborn into the world again. Such extraordinary circumstances, for all sentient beings, will foster the significant growth of virtuous causes and favorable conditions.
One can then appreciate that in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," all works are composed with a focus on the goodness of human nature, and it becomes clear that this series of celestial texts represents a more authentic form of writing. It also offers a benevolent analysis, elucidating the mysteries of the cosmic galaxies and the universe, and fostering the growth of sentient beings' "heart-nature and spirituality."
This set of causal conditions surpasses any religious scripture in its relevance to the human world, and it is profoundly beneficial: it not only supports the evolutionary genetics of humanity but also analyzes genetic modifications for all human beings, even drawing upon the expertise of over two million high-tech talents.
How to grasp the subtle intricacies within.
Descending to the human world to research, invent, and create, I reflect upon the eighteen years of arduous dedication to the Chongxin lineage. Word by word, chapter by chapter, volume by volume, the entire thirty-six books of the "Great Dao Series" have now been faithfully completed and published for the benefit of the world. These works offer sentient beings firsthand insight and realization.
Bestowing many wholesome insights, such subtleties and keys are indeed rare treasures in the human world—an excellent reference guide. In the future, there will surely be many auspicious connections to experience its profound essence. Thus, abundant hidden merits will accumulate through the compassionate understanding and experiences of sentient beings, ultimately benefiting the survival of humanity.
In this world, the essence of the "New Three Bonds and Five Constants" can gradually reduce the divorce rate among couples. Moreover, it not only supplements all aspects of human life that were not elaborated in religious scriptures, but also addresses the preferences of different sentient beings in the world through its writings.
The Dadao Series Celestial Texts: The Foremost Beneficiaries
Each volume of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" encompasses the rectification, transformation, and refinement of all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors within the human realm. Through this, sentient beings will come to understand: what is cherished within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" is precisely the treasure of humanity. This extraordinary condition will enable all conscious beings to comprehend the future integration of religious scriptures.
This is analyzed through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, concerning "cosmic star systems, the mysteries of heaven and earth, human conduct, family harmony, marital happiness, and virtuous relationships between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law"... Over the course of eighteen years of such karmic connections, from the first volume, "The Heart Lamp of the Great Dao," to the thirty-sixth volume, "The Great Dao as One Family," and the completion of the thirty-seventh volume, "The Secret Methods of the Great Dao."
Furthermore, the thirty-eighth volume—authored by the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association"—analyzes the entire 'Great Dao Series of Heavenly Texts' as a whole. It truthfully utilizes the various virtuous causes and conditions of human existence to compensate for the deficiencies within religions. This is truly vast and practical in benefiting sentient humanity, awaiting everyone to join in uncovering its treasures together!
It is lamentable to be born as a human, yet one must strive to be sincere and true-hearted.
The Dadao series is bestowed upon the world,  
To elucidate the perfection of hidden virtue.
The Celestial Book was composed over eighteen years,  
A family's fulfillment, a testament to true dedication.
The secret Dharma of the True Buddha comes to teach,  
Delivering sentient beings back to the heavenly vehicle.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; by analyzing the treasure of the human world—namely the publication of the "Dadao Series Classics"—everyone can comprehend its boundless mysteries and truly realize the profound grace and wondrous virtues bestowed by Heaven. I extend my gratitude for your diligent companionship in this work and apologize for the disturbance during our time together at the Chongxin Sect lineage. Until we meet again, everyone!

Scriptures from the Western Heaven spread into the mortal world,  
Bodhisattvas gather, bound by karmic ties.
The True Lord of Fate comes to analyze and elucidate,
The Dadao series is as genuine as a treasure.
Good evening to all the saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, as well as the students and cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Lord of the Nine Heavens, one of the Five Sacred Enlightened Masters, has descended to elucidate the first installment of the "Great Dao Series," a treasure among humanity. The subsequent installments will continue to present the original teachings, faithfully transmitting this extraordinary spiritual connection to all sentient beings in the world.
Enough discernment. Consider how you have benefited in the present moment, and do not wait until you re-enter the Academy of the Great Dao of the Infinite to think about continuing your cultivation—this would be laughable! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. The Year of Jiawu is coming to an end. As for this year, have you gained more tangible harvests compared to last year? You can discern this for yourselves, and deep down, you already know. Well, thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!

The Northern Pole's Purple Subtlety is exceedingly rare,  
The Mysterious Celestial Emperor descends and arrives.
The True Buddha of the Great Way, Chapter Eight: Reducing Groping, Wisdom Soars
The Sublime Works of the Chongxin Lineage
The "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" of the Chongxin lineage are a supreme treasure for humanity. They descend from the Wuji and Haotian realms, bringing forth nourishment and resources for the human world—teachings that have never before been revealed in religious scriptures. It can be said that they are unparalleled under heaven! Such extraordinary conditions are offered to all human beings of the present age, yet it is up to each individual, based on their faith, to make their own choice.
However, it is not necessarily the case that by comprehending the vastness of the entire "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," one can claim that most human beings are unable to deeply grasp their essence and mysteries. To put it in rather ignorant terms, most human beings do not ascend and elevate themselves simply because of faith!
This kind of religious faith is merely a matter of following along in worship; it is quite difficult to delve into its inner depths, so how should I then strive for further growth? Under such exceptional conditions, most human beings tend to rely on past ideologies and concepts, and seldom come to understand: the true source of nourishment for upward advancement, which ought to be studied and explored!
For the general populace, merely affiliating with a religion in name often leads others to perceive them as religious believers. Under such circumstances, it becomes difficult to truly comprehend the profound grace and virtue bestowed by Heaven. They often rely solely on livelihood and faith as their support, fundamentally unable to realize that all worldly realities must be transcended and elevated.
The Universal Propagation of the Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association
The Canon of the Great Tao Series: It is the finger pointing to the moon under heaven, a lighthouse, and a teaching course like a clear spring. It can truly discern the overall essence of the Buddhist "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra," and further, it selects the strengths while discarding the weaknesses of this overall essence, adapting and embodying them within the profound core of the "Heart Sutra of Mahaprajnaparamita."
It brings together the essence of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam to create the world's only "Dadao Series." This series not only distinguishes the essence of the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra* but also incorporates the core of human existence—arising thoughts, stirring intentions, entering consciousness, and storing awareness—into the celestial book series.
Using the Buddhist "Consciousness-Only" theory as a foundation, and further analyzing the Buddhist principles of "illuminating the mind, realizing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition," it allows all human beings to comprehend through the essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" everything in the human realm that Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam dare not discuss: the world of the demonic mind, which all classics in the human realm dare not mention!
It becomes clear how the interplay between "Buddha and Mara" operates! If one cannot distinguish and resolve this in the human world, how can one truly achieve future realization? For even the slightest emergence of a "demonic thought" would nullify all past cultivation and intentional practice.
The Dadao series is truly a treasure among mankind.
Thus, how can one speak of the transformation of "the Suchness of Demonic Nature" when it is not even addressed by any religion in the human world? Such individuals fundamentally lack the knowledge and wisdom to steer themselves toward the upward growth of both "the Suchness of Buddha Nature and the Suchness of Demonic Nature." This extraordinary condition is beyond the comprehension of ordinary religions in the human realm.
If there were no sacred Buddhas descending from the ethereal realms to compose these works, and without the teachings and guidance of numerous high-level celestial Buddhas and teachers, I ask everyone: how could one comprehend and distinguish the "true nature of Buddha and demon"? For me, this serves as a form of excellent immunity, a concept rarely understood in this human world, and it brings clarity to these realms of knowledge.
Therefore, humanity has always lingered within the realm of religious faith, descending once more into the cycles of rebirth in the next life, again and again. How can such a truly profound causal connection be fully comprehended within a single lifetime or even across multiple lifetimes? By understanding this, one may reduce thirty to fifty years of aimless groping through the darkness of ignorance in this world.
All religions are fundamentally the same in this regard. This human realm exists precisely through a kind of mutual interaction and practice. If one fails to understand this essence, no matter how much one cultivates or practices, one will remain merely an earthly immortal in the human world or a deity of the ordinary celestial realms. This is because, at root, one remains incapable of dispelling one's own ignorance.
It is generally difficult for ordinary humans to elevate themselves through religious belief.
Moreover, it is only in the human realm that one attains blessings and rewards; to truly transcend upward, is there any difficulty? In reality, it is exceedingly difficult! Most of this human realm exists merely for practice within the human world or the intermediate heavenly realms. To aspire to practice in higher, more sublime celestial realms—I fear it is not simply a matter of what one desires, nor can it be easily achieved!
This kind of ignorance and obstruction, if one cannot break through the worldly ignorance and hindrances, will keep one lingering within the blessings of human and heavenly realms, merely becoming a deity. Going further, even if one enters the Buddhist understanding of not obscuring cause and effect, there will only be a thousand years of time and space to rely on, serving in temples and halls, and nothing more than that!
However, whether one can truly ascend further is uncertain! This approach merely surpasses ordinary religious deities by one degree in addressing the ignorance and delusion of sentient beings. As for the future—how will it unfold? Whether one can achieve further elevation and transcendence remains profoundly difficult to comprehend! Thus, it becomes impossible to fully grasp the limitations and obstacles inherent in such questions.
All works in the Dadao series of heavenly scriptures can reduce humanity's 30 to 50 years of blind exploration through time and space. That is to say, regarding all obscure obstacles in the human world, celestial immortals and buddhas descend as teachers to analyze and compose them. The essence of the entire "Dadao Series of Heavenly Scriptures" is precisely to benefit all sentient beings who are sincere practitioners among affectionate humanity.
Believing in religion often leads one down many unnecessary detours.
Is there truly such a condition in the human world that can genuinely and truthfully reduce thirty to fifty years of groping in the dark? Considering all the orientations of a human being's existence in this world, after deducting the learning and growth process of youth, adulthood arrives—and in the blink of an eye, twenty years have already passed.
Furthermore, when applied to the temporal and circumstantial span of 20 to 60 years, and after deducting the one-third of life already consumed by eating, drinking, excretion, and sleep, less than about 30 years of time and opportunity remain—or even only around 20 years. After further subtracting all that is required for mere survival, the time that can be genuinely utilized amounts to no more than about 10 to 15 years.
Thus, those who can truly understand all the obstacles of religions when applying them to a span of 10 to 15 years are exceedingly rare! If one could neither eat, drink, nor sleep, would it then be possible to genuinely experience and comprehend each religious scripture and teaching? To speak plainly, under such conditions and circumstances, there is simply no time left!
How to Shorten the Exploration of Time and Space in the Human World
When sentient beings are fundamentally unable to genuinely ascend, elevate, and transcend the temporal and spatial conditions, the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" can reduce 30 to 50 years of worldly exploration in time and space. How do you, the virtuous students of the Chongxin lineage, perceive this? How do you comprehend its true essence? It all depends on the sincerity of each individual's dedication!
In this lifetime, if one can accumulate the resources for upward growth and elevation, one will receive good and beneficial returns, granting oneself transcendence. If one fails to recognize this, they will have to return for another lifetime. Are we willing to accept this? If not, then within the less than ten years of life that remain, how should one proceed?
It is essential to thoroughly study the essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." In particular, Master Li Xin Chan has completed the revision of the entire "Dadao Series Celestial Books," which will soon be republished volume by volume. This will make it easier than before to comprehend the distilled content of the entire series, allowing for genuine progress in transcendence, return, fulfillment, and ascension.
Unaware of celestial scriptures in the mortal world,  
The series reveals the emptiness of all worldly things.
If one wishes to reduce the great groping in the dark,  
it is essential to apply the mind and grasp the subtleties.
Step by step, each footprint leaves a mark; every mark treads firmly on the journey of life.
Understanding the essence of the whole,  
One will surely gain returns as they truly are.
This verse! Let us encourage each other together; the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are truly the most precious treasures in the human world, capable of reducing 30 to 50 years of blind groping in ignorance. The second round of analysis is now complete, and the next installment will continue to be written, allowing everyone to gain an even clearer understanding! Very well, thank you all for accompanying this work and for your patience during this time at the Chongxin Sect lineage. Until we meet again!
Chapter 24: The Compassion of Confucianism, Nourishing All Living Beings
## Western Heaven Literary Inscription Bodhisattva
May 1, 2015, the thirteenth day of the third month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Bodhisattva from the Western Heaven arrives to propagate the teachings of the Great Dao series.
Rare treasures of this world are few;  
They must be cherished and loved with care.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the teachings are delivered through the descent of the Five Sacred Enlords’  Lord Xuan Tian Shang Di (the Purple Subtlety Emperor of the North Pole), marking the eighth session of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion. This session offers diverse beneficial insights for all human beings, genuinely aimed at benefiting every student and follower of the teachings.
Furthermore, for all benevolent connections among sentient beings in the human world, it represents a virtuous upward growth and genuinely enables everyone to reduce 30 to 50 years of aimless exploration. Which religion in this world dares to make such a claim? None at all! Moreover, it is composed in accordance with the "true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth."
Otherwise, one will not be able to develop immunity against the interconnected causes and conditions of "mind nature, spiritual nature, Buddha nature, and demon nature," allowing everyone to cultivate goodness and progress upward. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us reflect on past shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors, and make necessary corrections.
Chapter 25: The Five Teachings of the Great Dao – The Universal Love of Christianity
##Namo Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva
May 12, 2015, the twenty-fourth day of the third lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Loyalty and patriotism resonate between heaven and earth,  
Marshal Yue Wumu ascends in glory.
The Ninth Chapter of the Great Dao True Buddha: The Cosmic Truth Manifested in the Human Realm
The universe and its galaxies embody the great Dao and its truths.
In the human world, many different affinities converge to gather together for the propagation and practice of the teachings. Such conditions of affinity can be said to be quite rare, representing the finest form of practice under heaven. The celestial realms—the Void Heaven, the Wuji Heaven, the Southern Heaven, and the Western Heaven—collaborate in the promotion and dissemination of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Texts."
It can be said that in the present era, this represents a truly extraordinary set of conditions and affinities. As such, among the various religious systems, each with its own distinct framework, it is exceedingly rare to find one like the Chongxin lineage—truly remarkable and profoundly blessed. Thus, the ability to disseminate cosmic truths across different star systems and celestial bodies under such conditions is an exceedingly rare affinity indeed.
From this perspective, the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect arises from such extraordinary conditions of karmic affinity. It truly responds to the universal principles of the cosmos, nurturing the growth and elevation of all celestial bodies, including this present planet, Earth Star. If we consider Earth Star's journey, having traversed these sixty thousand years, it can be said that the current era is the most auspicious and remarkable spacetime!
It also truthfully descends the cosmic star systems to various high levels for elevation and transcendence. This allows one to understand that all kinds of karmic connections are precisely the descent for the growth and transcendence of the Earthly Net Star. This truthfully benefits all living beings of the entire Earthly Net Star, as well as the upward growth of human beings in their journeys. This is a great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven through descent.
The mysteries of the universe and the secrets of heaven and earth.
Everyone may observe: this is precisely the case with the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." In the current era, various religious sects and lineages, under such exceptional conditions, serve to guide sentient beings of affection upward in growth, elevation, and transcendence. They also faithfully manifest the evolutionary principles of the cosmic star systems within the human world.
This extraordinary connection spanning the past sixty thousand years represents a transcendence of all ignorance inherent in humanity. As recorded in the historical annals of the past five millennia, it can be said: this is the world's sole sublime descent into the human realm, a sacred work that embodies cosmic truth and the profound mysteries of heaven and earth!
Simultaneously, the mysteries and universal principles of the entire cosmic galaxy are adapted and manifested within the human realm. This is not only aimed at the upward growth and transcendence of the Earthly Nether Galaxy but also extends to the beings of the human world and even the beings of the underworld, fostering their upward development. From the perspective of the Earthly Nether Galaxy, this brings immense benefits to both human beings and the souls of the underworld.
This is not only directed at human beings; it is essential to understand that for the unseen world, there are still three hundred billion intangible spirits waiting, relying on the human realm as the basis for their future rebirth. Therefore, in the vast and profound grace of the entire universe, this extraordinary condition is very practically bestowed upon the human world.
It is exceedingly difficult for humanity to comprehend the truths of the universe.
This kind of belief, which claims to be the foremost under heaven, is also reflected in the vast body of works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." Whether it is for the good growth and benefit of humanity, or for the sake of one's own religious faith, which is considered the highest under heaven, such a view is understandable. However, in the mortal world, the Supreme Heaven has already bestowed upon humanity—the True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao.
Thus came into being the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." This approach to the cultivation process within the human realm clarifies that within the vastness of the whole, it precisely draws upon the Buddhist "Doctrine of Consciousness-Only," combined with the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra," integrating the essential essence of the "Heart Sutra of Mahaprajnaparamita" to elucidate the "Dadao Series Books."
One has truthfully developed such exceptional conditions into a state of maturity, while also connecting Confucian thought, Daoist thought, Christian thought, and Islamic thought, and reintroducing them into the "Three Principles, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics" to form the "New Three Principles and Constants" as a framework for human ethics. This is an unparalleled and vast achievement, truly the foremost in the world.
At the same time, it also reduces the time required for all sentient beings in their religious cultivation by 30 to 50 years, eliminating all obstacles of ignorance. This is an unparalleled and vast work in the human world, unmatched under heaven. Moreover, it borrows the scientific and technological civilization of the entire cosmic galaxy, drawing upon the talents of over two million scientific and technological experts.
Technological Civilization of Cosmic Galaxies
All have been fully disseminated. This type of high-tech talents, from the second batch to the eighth batch, totaling seventy million individuals, will drive future technological evolution. They will genuinely advance all technological civilizations of the human world, elevating it to a realm that surpasses the current human society. This is achieved by applying technologies from different star systems to adapt and manifest within the human world.
This will lead to more practical technological advancements. Consider this: has today’s technological civilization already evolved far beyond what it was 30 to 50 years ago, with continuous growth? In the future direction of human existence, such high technology will evolve to benefit all of humanity.
It is precisely in the evolution of "mind, spirit, and body," particularly within the Chinese world of Taiwan, where medical technology has advanced ahead of European and American nations. In this human realm, the gradual formation of methods to eliminate "tumors and cancer" has slowly emerged, and in such clinical practices, the dawn of this achievement is already becoming visible.
It is destined that future medical technology will evolve to enable the transplantation of human organs. However, the current application of illicit resources in the world has already produced severe symptoms for humanity. Therefore, with great compassion, the heavens will bestow upon the world the "resources of the underworld" in the future, advancing overall technology for the benefit of all humankind.
The grace of Heaven bestows benevolence upon all living beings of humanity.
The profound mystery of the truth of heaven and earth—does humanity in the realm of Earthly Abyss feel utterly helpless? Considering that the lifespan of human beings is merely a hundred years or so, it is essential to understand that, in the context of the entire Earthly Abyss realm, the first and second kalpas bestowed upon humanity span three thousand years of life.
If we compare it to the present moment, human beings have a lifespan of less than a hundred years. To achieve a significantly longer life, it is necessary to rely on cyborgs and semi-cyborgs to extend the human lifespan. This helps us understand how the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" unveil the practical evidence of future technology.
All of this has been fully imparted into the entire series of celestial texts, with the purpose of evolving the "physical body, spirituality, and mind" of humanity towards higher growth. It also faithfully translates the Buddhist principles of "illuminating the mind to perceive true nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing fruition" into the teachings of the True Buddha Heart School of the Great Dao, serving as the foundational training for every future instructor.
It is a practical approach to have already bestowed these future resources in advance, allowing the virtuous students of the Chongxin lineage to genuinely comprehend the teachings of all the celestial immortals and Buddhas. "A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples." You must earnestly appreciate the heartfelt guidance of the immortal and Buddha teachers, which will lead to tangible future growth, transcendence, and the ultimate fulfillment of ascension.
The Dadao series presents heavenly scriptures, a truly unique treasure in the human world.
The cosmic truth is now revealed, the mysteries of heaven and earth have been unveiled.
All sentient beings grow and develop,  
Everyone should maintain a constant heart.
Do not be muddled and lost;  
It is essential to return to clarity and truth.
This verse! It is a mutual encouragement among all sentient beings; it dissects the Celestial Books of the Dadao series from the True Buddha Heart Religion of the Great Dao, serving as the essence of teacher training for all of you. This is the great virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the Chongxin lineage, and it is also the genuine guidance from the teachers of the Void Heaven Realm and the Wuji Heaven Realm. Only through this can we possess the extraordinary resources and sustenance for training today.
This is the virtuous grace of the Supreme Venerable Mother of the Wuji, which can be truly bestowed upon the True Buddha Heart School of Dadao for its promotion and propagation. It provides favorable conditions and virtuous causes, enabling all sentient beings with affection to ascend, grow, and transcend! We also extend our gratitude to everyone for accompanying us in this work and for your patience with the Chongxin lineage. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 26: Spreading Universal Love, Benefiting Humanity
##The Western Heaven Literary Splendor Bodhisattva
May 15, 2015 — The 27th day of the third lunar month, Year of Yiwei (Friday)
From the Western Heaven descends the Chongxin Hall,  
Spreading the Dao among mortals, blessings flourish for all.
Today the Bodhisattva takes the watch,  
May all be blessed with enduring fortune and auspiciousness.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Fifth Sage En-Lord, Marshal Yue, the Loyal and Brave Warrior King, has descended to compose the ninth installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion. This work unravels the truths of the universe and the mysteries of heaven and earth, continuing the "Great Tao Series Celestial Books" of the Chongxin Sect lineage, bringing benefit to all sentient beings with compassion.
In the training of future educators, it is essential to genuinely provide everyone with substantial benefits by reducing much blind groping and greatly enhancing knowledge and wisdom. Otherwise, how can human beings elevate their DNA to the extraordinary condition of RNA? This is uniquely achieved only through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect.
It is essential to embody the QNA truthfully within oneself, allowing it to radiate from within—this is the true path! If there are no other matters, carefully study the recent works and sacred teachings of the immortal Buddhas and teachers, and understand how to engage in one-on-one guidance. This matter must not be neglected or taken lightly; it must be trained in truthfully. This task is entrusted to the hall master (deputy hall master), society leader, and standing supervisor (temple head) for training.
Regarding the propagation and transformation for the upcoming Yiwei year, everyone must strive diligently; otherwise, we will only remain stagnant, which is not a wise strategy. It is essential to implement this faithfully! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, all guidance and salvation activities will proceed as usual, and there remains only one more session of immortal and Buddha aiding the world tomorrow. Let us look forward to reuniting in the new spring of Yiwei! That concludes today’s gathering. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Five Teachings of the Great Dao, Returning to the Pure and True Home
##Namo Samantabhadra Bodhisattva
May 19, 2015, the second day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Wang Tianjun, the Enlightened and Mighty Divine Official  
Proclaims the Heavenly Sound through the Great Dao Series.
The Tenth Chapter of the True Buddha Mind School: Practicing the Principles of Consciousness-Only Daily
Human beings apply the principles of Consciousness-Only every day.
In the vast human world, various phenomena arise and manifest. For every kind of sentient being, the "theory of consciousness-only" is in operation, yet most remain unable to comprehend it. So what is this "theory of consciousness-only"? It is the concept that all phenomena are merely manifestations of consciousness, applied truthfully in the daily lives of human beings. Moreover, it is being applied at every moment.
Even in the present work, the "theory of consciousness-only" is applied. This is not exclusive to Buddhism; rather, Buddhism offers a particularly clear analysis of this profound causal condition. In this way, the "theory of consciousness-only" must be applied in the daily lives of all sentient beings—it is essential for conscious beings.
From a Daoist perspective, there exists this "mind." How then is this "mind" interconnected with the "principles of Consciousness-Only"? In the context of daily life and survival, they are mutually applied, allowing sentient beings to genuinely discern and understand. For the survival orientation of human beings, the application of the "principles of Consciousness-Only" is essential.
Take the present moment, for instance, as we collectively compose the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Society – Tenth Assembly." Under such extraordinary conditions and affinities, if we cannot apply the "principles of Consciousness-Only," how then can we discern and understand that, at this very moment, I have already come to realize: within the practice of religious faith in the human world, there lies profound enlightenment!
The Buddhist Yogachara school of thought is profoundly vast and intricate.
It is precisely through the application of the Buddhist theory of "Consciousness-Only" that each individual possesses the transmission of the faculties of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and thought, as well as the interconnection of forms, sounds, scents, flavors, tactile sensations, and mental phenomena. Thus arises the interaction of the eye perceiving forms, the ear hearing sounds, the nose detecting scents, the tongue tasting flavors, the body experiencing touch, and the mind giving rise to all phenomena, all interconnected.
This is a condition possessed by all sentient beings in the human world. Those who lack the aforementioned qualities may be considered individuals of diminished fortune, and it can be said that among the five blessings of human existence, they have lost one or more. This ability to discern and specialize in the "principles of consciousness-only" is not the exclusive domain of Buddhism alone.
Thus, in Buddhism, the human body is dissected with remarkable clarity. Without the insights provided by Buddhist analysis, how would sentient beings come to understand the extraordinary conditions underlying their daily existence? This pertains to the application of the Yogācāra doctrine, which is relevant and applicable in the daily lives of every sentient being.
Regarding the essence of "Consciousness-Only doctrine," it is not something that ordinary individuals can fully comprehend. One must understand: how the principles of Buddhism and the spiritual essence of Daoism can be interconnected, and how one can gain clarity on both schools of thought—this is even more rarely achieved!
The School of Mind and the New Consciousness-Only Doctrine have become even more vast and profound.
Even among believers of Buddhism, not all necessarily grasp its profound essence; often, they understand only a part rather than the whole, along with its penetrating depth. This frequently prevents humanity from effectively applying the specialized principles of "Consciousness-Only" philosophy, thereby hindering the ability to discern that the daily lives of sentient beings are, in fact, the very foundation of the Great Dao.
Rather than waiting until after death to seek elevation, which offers no real opportunity! It is also essential to truly master and understand the principles of "Consciousness-Only" philosophy, and to consider how I should apply them in daily life. Everyone can understand that each human being possesses the six consciousnesses of "sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind," as well as the five sense organs.
This kind of defilement from the six dusts of "form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma" can be clearly understood: all must be transmitted as they truly are into the six consciousnesses. It is indeed practical to know how the "doctrine of consciousness-only" regarding these six consciousnesses functions. Yet, it is also exceedingly difficult! This is analyzed from the perspective of the human world, for survival in the present moment necessarily demands such understanding.
In the practical necessities of daily survival, it becomes evident that every human being, regardless of whether they adhere to a religious faith or not, can equally comprehend and apply the specialized principles of "Consciousness-Only" theory under such conditions.
The principles of Yogācāra are applied by sentient beings in their daily lives.
Even if one has a focus on daily life, it should not be detached from it for even a moment. From this, it can be understood that such a state of being inseparable from daily life for an instant is akin to the breathing function of human beings. If there were someone who did not need the function of breathing, they could then be distinguished as not needing to apply all aspects of daily life either.
This worldly discernment, for me at present: how should it be skillfully applied to the specialized study of "Consciousness-Only doctrine"? Furthermore, for those who enter religious faith, it is also different from genuine practitioners. For instance, most genuine practitioners would discern the experiences of 'illuminating the mind and seeing one's nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing fruition.'
Furthermore, this approach can elucidate the experience of "illuminating the mind, realizing one's nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition," which differs from ordinary religious beliefs. The simplest method for comprehending "the principles of Consciousness-Only" within the context of human existence is to recognize that it is applied in every moment of daily life and cannot be separated from it even for an instant.
Thus, if one cannot remain inseparable from it even for a moment, it will be interrupted, much like the function of breathing. This "perception, hearing, awareness, and understanding" in the human world is also connected by the principles of Buddhism. As for the essence of Daoism, it is not merely about having good intentions, being a good person, doing good deeds, and speaking kind words. Moreover, the fundamental understanding of sentient beings is often only superficial!
The Daily Application of Consciousness-Only Theory in Human Life
If we consider what is embodied by the Buddhist concept of "seeing, hearing, sensing, and knowing," we realize that it is indispensable in daily life, something one cannot be separated from even for a moment. If there were any human being who could be separated even momentarily from the application of the principles of "Consciousness-Only" philosophy, such a person would no longer be human but would have transcended the conditions of immortals, deities, sages, or buddhas. Only then could one truly comprehend the insight gained through the application of the principles of "Consciousness-Only."
It is absolutely not the case that sentient beings who have not embraced Buddhist faith can bypass the necessary conditions. This is determined by all that precedes the sixth consciousness in the human realm, where the entire process is profoundly truthful. "The eyes perceive form, the ears hear sound, the nose smells fragrance, the tongue tastes flavor, the body feels touch, and the mind gives rise to all phenomena"—all of this serves to remedy the ignorance inherent in humanity.
Such conditions are essential for all sentient beings and myriad forms of life. They truthfully encompass the necessity of "illuminating the mind and realizing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and achieving fruition." Even for those who do not engage in religious faith, as long as they are human beings, they must apply these principles. It cannot be said that if one has not entered a religion, there is no need to apply the necessity of the "theory of consciousness-only."
Every single moment is to be applied through the study of Consciousness-Only.
It encompasses every action in the daily lives of sentient beings. As long as there is a moving entity, the necessity of applying the "Theory of Consciousness-Only" arises. However, among all religions in the human world, none can clearly analyze how, within each moment of time, space, and causality, the "Theory of Consciousness-Only" finds its application in human existence.
This also includes the "Dadao Series" celestial texts that everyone is currently composing. For those of you who have assigned duties in shifts, as well as all those sitting upright on meditation cushions with eyes closed in repose, have none of you utilized "observing forms with the eyes"? However, have you applied "listening to sounds with the ears"? In this way, how then do sentient beings among humanity engage in the intervals of their breath?
It is precisely that one cannot depart from it for even a moment in time and space. Humans can infer many things from a single example. As for whether humans can discern: in the present moment, without distinguishing how I am, the necessity of applying the "principles of Consciousness-Only" will also be realized. Moreover, in every hour, every moment, every minute, and every second, one must apply the specialized precision of the "principles of Consciousness-Only." Can everyone comprehend this? Not necessarily!
The principles of Yogācāra philosophy find their application,  
In the traces of everyday life they leave their impression.
Whether one has entered a religion or not,  
It is hard to hold on even for a moment apart.
In daily life as it truly is, there is already the application of practical elevation.
At every moment, it is essential  
That all understand this heartfelt truth.
This verse! It is presented to all sentient beings for profound analysis; regarding the teachings and causes of Chongxin, it can be said: it is the one and only extraordinary analysis in the world! It truly benefits oneself and brings advantages to humanity. This is solely accomplished by the lineage of Chongxin, encompassing what neither contemporary nor past Buddhist teachings have ever addressed. It is certain to enable one to discern the subtleties and nuances of its profound benefits!
Chapter 28: Pure Worship in the Eastern Pure Land
## Limitless Joy and Bliss Celestial Worthy
May 22, 2015, the fifth day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
Bodhisattvas from the Western Heaven ascend the platform,  
Together gathering with virtuous students of sincere hearts.
May all be auspicious and well,  
This work completed at the end of the Jiawu year.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, under the guidance of the Luan Sect, the Great Marshal Wang Tianjun of Huoluo has descended to compose the tenth analysis of the True Buddha Heart Religion of the Great Tao. All sacred tasks of the Chongxin Sect lineage for the Jiawu year have now been completed, with only tomorrow’s sixth session, "Chan Insights Dispel Delusions," remaining.
Other sacred duties, which we look forward to resuming on the ninth day of the first lunar month in the upcoming spring, the Year of Yiwei, when we shall gather once again. This extraordinary opportunity also serves to address the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors accumulated over the past eighteen years within the Chongxin lineage. Once more, we urge the Sect Leader and the Society President to thoroughly deliberate on how to implement one-on-one reception etiquette.
Otherwise, you will remain stagnant next year as well. The celestial Buddhas and teachers have admonished you many times, yet you persist in your own ways—this is truly unacceptable. Reflect deeply on this! Tomorrow, the sixth day, marks the final "Zen Revelation to Dispel Delusion" of this year, concluding all sacred duties for the year. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 29: The Five Teachings of the Great Dao, Intermingling and Merging
##Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva
May 26, 2015, the ninth day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Namo Akashagarbha Bodhisattva, descending to compose the great cause and condition.
The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Eleventh Chapter: The Series of Truth Implementers
The truth of the universe and heaven and earth benefits all living beings.
The causal essence of all works in the Dadao series of celestial texts is primarily rooted in the current era. This approach surpasses many past religious scriptures and is grounded in the practical orientation of human existence. Such causality is the most extraordinary in the world, and it can be said to complement all religious scriptures in the present human realm.
What has not been elucidated elsewhere, enabling sentient beings to genuinely achieve upward growth, elevation, and transcendence, can only be found in the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books." The entirety of this karmic opportunity has been fully published in thirty-six volumes. Such a rare and profound karmic connection is solely the result of the divine revelations bestowed by Heaven, unveiling numerous celestial mysteries.
It provides humanity with a sublime faith to rely upon, offering ample room for significant self-improvement. Unlike certain religious scriptures of the past, which have partially deviated from the practical concerns of human existence, this profound connection guides all beings in their pursuit of growth and elevation within the framework of worldly life.
Moreover, by aligning with the contemporary mindset of humanity's pursuit of novelty and change, it can fill the spiritual void. It truthfully offers to everyone a profound understanding of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit of practice"—concepts that are often difficult to grasp within worldly religions—allowing for a sublime experience of these principles.
The Dadao Series Celestial Texts Elevate and Transcend
Such a supreme opportunity is reserved only for the foremost under heaven. It allows one to comprehend the vastness of the entire cosmos and galaxies, which lies precisely in this kind of expansive and far-reaching dissemination—absolutely incomparable to any religion of the past. Moreover, it enlightens all sentient beings with the true and ultimate principles. This kind of cause and condition is also the greatest under heaven: it is the foremost!
When the truths of the Dadao series are implemented in the orientation of existence, great merit emerges in the human world to guide and transform. This allows sentient beings to discern clearly: How should I approach the study and influence of religious scriptures? Thus, the mysteries of the cosmic galaxies, heaven and earth, and humanity can be grasped, and various celestial insights can be brought down to illuminate the human world.
This extraordinary affinity is such that only the foremost under heaven can discern the distinctions among past scriptures and present treatises. Through varied influences and cultivation, one may then comprehend the differences between "mind, spirit, and body." Hence, the necessity of "imparting knowledge through intimate transmission and aligning through shared nature" can be articulated, and this is precisely what the foremost under heaven imparts through their teachings.
This kind of teaching and its karmic conditions are rarely encountered in the human world. Only the Chongxin lineage can invoke such high-level celestial and buddha teachers to provide instruction: integrating the truths of heaven and earth, star systems, and the universe. Thus, it constitutes a high-level teaching of the "Great Dao Truth," benefiting sentient beings through this educational karmic connection.
Generally, temples rarely invite high-level immortals and Buddhas.
It can be understood that in ordinary temples and halls, how can one truly benefit from one's own conditions? Such circumstances and conditions make it difficult to invite high-level celestial immortals and Buddha-teachers to descend. However, within the Chongxin lineage, it is possible to invite many high-level celestial immortals and Buddha-teachers to descend and participate in the composition of sacred texts!
For the Heavenly Father, the Primordial Celestial King, the Great Heavenly Venerable; the Sovereign of All Spirits, the Limitless Imperial Mother, the Great Heavenly Venerable; the Ancestor Hongjun; the Supreme Mysterious Sage; the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable, the Exalted God of the Mysterious Firmament; the Exalted God of Mysterious Spirit; the Limitless Old Mother of Mount Li of the Void and Boundlessness; the Supreme Earth Mother of the Void and Boundlessness; and all immortals and sages above the rank of the Eight Immortals.
Additionally, with the presence of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, the Six Great Benevolent Lords of the Sacred Gate, various star systems such as the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Dippers across the cosmic universe, the Five Elders, and numerous celestial immortals and Buddhas, the auspicious affinity manifested in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" authored by the Chongxin lineage is truly profound. Merely the teachings imparted by any one of these immortal and Buddha mentors can offer immense assistance in everyone's elevation!
This kind of existence in the human world is a supreme affinity reserved only for the foremost in the world. It is not a condition that ordinary religions can fulfill. Without profound and lofty karmic connections, even if one wishes for celestial immortals and buddhas to grace such a rare affinity, they will certainly not come simply because one invites them, and thus it remains unattainable.
All virtuous causes and favorable conditions for humanity are brought to fruition.
This is a supreme affinity that no religion in the human world could ever discern, which has facilitated the descent of high-level celestial immortals and buddhas as teachers to the Chongxin lineage to compose these works. The arduous process over these eighteen years has truly served as a long and rigorous refinement for the human world. What remains is a supreme affinity, selected as one in ten million!
It fosters empathy among all, enabling the genuine dissemination of teachings. The profound understanding that "unity of heart is reverence of heart, and reverence of heart is unity of heart" is a sublime distinction. This is achieved through the presence and writings of the heavenly immortals and Buddha-teachers, leaving behind a legacy of virtuous and extraordinary affinities for future generations. The compilation undertaken by the Chongxin lineage is of an exceptionally elevated level.
This is a rather innovative work, as there are few in this world who can truly and adequately expound upon all teachings and their underlying causes. The "Dadao Zhenfo Xinzong" comprehensively elucidates these, promoting the nurturing virtues of maternal ethics and rituals. It represents a rare and profound opportunity for all humanity, further advancing the "New Three Cardinal Guides" as a central theme for universal propagation.
The Truth of the Great Dao is realized in the life of the human world.
In various nations, due to this extraordinary affinity, and through the profound meanings contained in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," one can truly understand how to honor and respect parents and elders in the human world. This reformation and transformation of the fundamental ethical principles in human society represent the most sublime and unparalleled teaching under heaven.
This lineage has also received the special attention of the Heavenly Will, emphasizing the necessity of cultivating the human way of existence within the Chongxin Sect, to serve as a model for future descendants. This lineage also encompasses many rituals of "maternal virtue and education," and for humanity and all living beings, it enables the discernment of all spatiotemporal causes and conditions bestowed by Heaven, which have already been revised and transformed anew!
How, then, can these ethical principles and moral norms be brought down to guide human existence in the world? To truly understand and implement this in the lives of humanity and all beings, one must begin with oneself as the starting point, extending efforts toward the well-being and happiness of the entire family. In doing so, a family becomes a haven of refuge, creating a genuine "happy and harmonious family" as a living space.
All beings in the mortal world cannot free themselves from the nourishment of life.
Human existence cannot be separated from the necessity of survival. Therefore, to ensure the well-being of humanity, it is essential to align with the orientation of human survival for upward growth. After grounding human conduct in the integrity of earthly principles, it is further necessary to elevate the cultivation of heavenly virtues. This approach does not deviate from the orientation of survival but rather seeks to integrate it harmoniously.
This is primarily based on the beliefs of human beings, allowing for the distinction and understanding of the teachings of the Dadao series regarding the inadequacies, deficiencies, and erroneous corrections and compensations in the religious teachings of the human world. For those who genuinely practice and uphold these teachings, it also brings about true and beneficial growth, potentially reducing thirty to fifty years of religious exploration.
Only by truly returning to transcendence in this lifetime can one achieve the "remote resolution" of all karma, thereby repaying all past karmic obstacles in the human world—this is the true path! By genuinely elevating human religious faith and sincerely transforming the soul, one benefits both oneself and all sentient beings.
The Great Dao series elucidates the truth,  
Where human affection finds mutual accord.
Just as one makes a genuine analysis,  
So one elevates oneself through self-transformation.
To fulfill the purpose of human existence, one must first comprehend the principles of heaven and earth.
Through cultivation and transformation, return to the celestial steps;  
Through accomplishment and transcendence, come to break free.
This verse! Let it be a mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings: the meanings conveyed in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are vast and profound—I wonder if you can comprehend and feel them? Strive diligently! Do not let down your own entry into the world's only high-level institution of learning, where the teachings and courses are the true path. Thank you all for your hard work in accompanying this writing!
Chapter Thirty: The Five Distinguished Teachings, Each with Its Own Strengths
## Limitless Wealth-Enhancing Heavenly Venerable
May 29, 2015, the twelfth day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
From the Western Heaven's celestial realm descends this ceremony,  
With literary elegance and wondrous brush, it holds the true principle.
Today, the Bodhisattva gathers with virtuous beings; may all be auspicious and fulfilled as desired.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the first of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, Akashagarbha Bodhisattva, has descended to compose this work. In the eleventh installment of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society, we bring the truths of the Great Dao series into daily life, enabling us to discern that many of the past religious scriptures are now outdated.
Moreover, it is impossible to establish a practical orientation for existence, which creates a significant divide and makes it exceedingly difficult to understand: for my present self, how should I progress upward, and in this lifetime, attain the fundamental return to transcendence! Rather than merely adhering, as in common religions, to a belief in an impractical orientation for existence.
There will be a significant gap; today we have reached this point, and tomorrow is Saturday again. All guidance and ferryings will proceed as usual. The Year of Yiwei has already begun. Let us all strive diligently to promote and spread the lineage of Chongxin, so that everyone may return to join the ranks of propagation. This extraordinary merit, let us all attain it together! Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Thirty-One: A Single Religion Is Slightly Inadequate
##Namo Manjushri Bodhisattva
June 2, 2015, the sixteenth day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Namo, all beings possess sentience; Samantabhadra's virtue nurtures the living.
The Bodhisattva descends to manifest the True Buddha;  
The Great Dao series proclaims the celestial sound.
The Great Way is the essential necessity to be practiced in the human world.
Sentient beings entering the human world develop a survival orientation and a mutual supply within the food chain, which serves as the foundation for human existence. Once basic sustenance is secured, it becomes essential for humanity to seek spiritual sustenance as well, in order to establish a wholesome living environment. This is precisely the discernible concept that sentient beings can comprehend.
In the human world, it is essential to have the provision of a food chain, which is based on the foundation of sustenance and warmth. Beyond that, there must also be nourishment for the spirit through cultivation and practice. This truthfully adds the dimension of spiritual survival orientation to the material survival orientation of human existence. Simultaneously, for all human beings, there arises the genuine necessity to progress and elevate in both aspects.
Taking various religious beliefs as a foundation, one must authentically align daily survival pursuits with both the "food chain and the spirit," advancing these two aspects in parallel. Only in this way can humanity foster a symbiotic relationship between the material world and the realm of spiritual faith, thereby providing all beings with a wholesome foundation for reliance.
It is precisely as a reliance for survival in the human world that every religion claims to be the foremost. This kind of reliance within various religious beliefs practically benefits all sentient beings, making it a necessary support for humanity. At the same time, it also serves as the foundation for all faiths in the world.
The lineage of the Chongxin School has produced works unparalleled in the world.
To truly advance towards a broader space, it is essential to provide for the survival and evolution of humanity, as well as for spiritual evolution. By integrating these aspects of livelihood for every human being, there will be a beneficial growth. This is because the Divine upholds the necessity of various religious beliefs.
Particularly within the Chongxin lineage, regarding the entire collection of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," thirty-six volumes have already been completed and disseminated to the public. Now, as we enter the thirty-eighth volume, it becomes clear that the teachings expounded in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" encompass the journey of human beings from birth, through worldly existence, and into the choices made in the course of survival.
Each element emerges from "New Consciousness-Only Studies" to achieve greater authenticity, accumulating through a kind of "virtue" that is relatively rare among human beings and serves as its foundation. Correspondingly, in the human world, it fundamentally prevents the creation of evil karma and authentically enables human beings to accumulate a kind of "hidden merit" that becomes fully realized.
With the growth of goodness, one may ask: in the human world, can there be a more practical approach to all orientations of existence? Through the complete "Dadao Tian Shu Series," future growth and elevation can be achieved. This is a rare and extraordinary affinity made possible only by the descent of the divine grace of Heaven upon the Chongxin lineage, and it is also the unique growth process of the foremost under heaven.
The Dadao Series Celestial Texts Benefit All Humanity
It enables all students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage to comprehend, through firsthand materials, the virtuous grace of Heaven and the teachings of the immortal Buddhas and mentors. This faithfully conveys the unfolding of heaven and earth, as well as the sublime causes and conditions in the attainment processes of various immortal Buddhas and mentors from different celestial realms, all of which are recorded within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books."
It is sufficient not to add "virtue" or "hidden merits" as necessary accumulations for the purpose of survival. In reality, by fully documenting the entire evolutionary process of all cosmic galaxies in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," humanity can reduce thirty to fifty years of blind groping within religious ignorance.
Similarly, by truthfully addressing the shortcomings and ignorance of sentient beings, we enable everyone to genuinely progress upward. This not only benefits the present generation of human beings but also extends its advantages to future descendants. It authentically yields even more transcendent achievements—a virtuous opportunity uniquely afforded by the Chongxin lineage.
The Great Dao Series: Celestial Texts, the Great Dharma Treasures of the Human World.
The Dadao series of celestial texts elucidate the sublime karmic connections of humanity and all living beings. Without the establishment of educational and cultural institutions by the "Chongxin lineage," it would have been fundamentally impossible for humanity and all beings to truly reduce much of the blind groping in all post-entry survival orientations within the entirety of the "Dadao series of celestial texts."
It will directly distinguish that the understanding of "enlightening the mind and realizing one's true nature, attaining awakening and achieving fruition" is not something that ordinary religions can genuinely accomplish. Only the "Chongxin Sect" can initiate the practice of cultivating the "virtuous nature" for survival, thereby accumulating "hidden virtues." May I ask everyone: If this is the case, will the accumulation of "hidden virtues" in the future be exceedingly abundant?
There will also be a vast and complete actuality, enabling the "Chongxin Lineage" to discern the future "manifestation of Buddha-nature and demon-nature" as they truly are. If one cannot thoroughly comprehend the entire process created by the "duality of Buddha and demon," how can there be genuine resources to dissolve the obstacles of ignorance encountered in the future?
The Great Dao's Celestial Texts Elucidate the Human World.
How should one respond? And how should one progress toward greater truth and transcendence? Therefore, human beings may explore all other religions and can also, with utmost sincerity, engage with the "Thirty-Six Volumes of the Dadao Series" — comprising over a thousand chapters — which encompass all aspects of birth, worldly existence, and the orientation of life.
Furthermore, how can the process of human birth, aging, and decline truly evolve through future learning? In summary, the "hidden virtues and moral character" cultivated during one's lifetime can lead to genuine transcendence after death, eliminating the need to undergo judgment in the underworld. Such conditions of karma and affinity already represent a form of transcendence!
The limitations of all religions in the human world have truthfully allowed all deceased ancestors, relatives, unrelated infant spirits, and benevolent or adversarial beings among humanity to evolve and gain admission into the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" for advancement. This represents a high-level educational curriculum of cultivation never before seen in the human realm, one that ultimately depends on one’s own choices and efforts!
The Great Dao series elucidates the human condition,  
where extraordinary conditions converge through causes and conditions.
Only through practical action can one elevate themselves, thereby achieving the transcendence of goodness.
The lineage of the Devoted Heart serves as the foundation,  
each step leaves a firm and faithful imprint.
Entering the world with sincerity accumulates hidden virtue;  
A character rich in moral excellence becomes a great vessel of goodness.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; for those among humanity who are able to truly read the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" three times or more, they will possess the "realm of the First Ground Bodhisattva" and be able to discern: for me, how to progress upward and elevate is the true path! This is the most precious truth pursued by human beings in this world.
It very practically presents a rather high level, the causes and conditions for educating knowledge and concepts, enabling one to truly discern how, within this period of time and space, to progress toward growth, elevation, and transcendence for a perfect return! This must be achieved through one's own diligent efforts to gather and ascend; I apologize for the trouble and for disturbing the Chongxin lineage for a while. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 32: The Five Teachings Each Have Their Own Merits
## Limitless Virtuous Path Celestial Worthy
June 5, 2015 — The 19th day of the fourth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
From the boundless cause and condition descends auspicious grace,  
Joyfully cultivating fields of blessedness, fulfilling the covenant.
The Heavenly Venerable arrives today to take his turn on duty,  
At the end of the work, mechanisms interact with one another.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the second of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, Namo Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, has personally descended to compose the twelfth installment of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion, elucidating the sublime principles of the Great Dao series for humanity and disseminating them throughout the world.
That is enough. As for me, how should I further ascend to comprehend the essence of the entire "Dadao Series Celestial Books"? This encompasses all the various processes of human existence, as well as the state after death. It is about genuinely advancing oneself toward a more transcendent elevation and return, thereby truly benefiting oneself.
It also truly offers the only extraordinary "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" authored in the human world. This represents the growth of human religious faith, ushering in a time and space where goodness returns and transcends, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings with compassion. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow!
Chapter 33: The Fusion of Five Teachings, Absorbing Their Strengths
##Namo Great Strength Bodhisattva
Namo Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, the Great Way of True Buddha spreads far and wide.
Extending a bridge to aid the mortal world,  
The Wuji Great Dao Academy reaches far and wide.
The only high-level educational institution in the human world.
Since the establishment of the Chongxin Sect and its hall, eighteen years have now passed. Throughout this period of time and under these circumstances, it has endured many trials. Observing all the functions and purposes of Chongxin, one can discern the efficacy of these capabilities. This has enabled the Chongxin Sect to repeatedly pass the evaluations of the heavens, faithfully accomplishing these sacred duties time and again.
Now that we have entered the eighteenth year and are advancing toward the nineteenth year in the flow of time, we can discern: Has the Chongxin lineage truly grown? It is only through repeated trials and examinations that we can understand, for all students and followers, the shortcomings arising from each individual's factors and states of mind.
Regarding the overall operation of the Chongxin lineage, one must truly comprehend the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Realm, as well as all the teachings and courses imparted by the celestial immortals and buddhas. It is essential to genuinely understand the arduous process of these teachings, and to honestly establish such principles within one's own mindset and beliefs. Only then can one discern the varying mentalities of each individual.
Within the Chongxin lineage, an "Academy of the Great Way of Wuji" was established. Originally, the heavens granted this to the Chongxin lineage solely for the disciples and followers to perfect themselves and elevate their deceased ancestors, serving the function of transcendence. However, through the efficacy of these practices, a significant portion of the external world has come to acknowledge and affirm their role in achieving fulfillment.
The Sublime Nature of the Wuji Great Dao Academy
After the efficacy of this method was confirmed, Heaven then opened the opportunity for its external propagation and guidance. Now, eighteen years have passed. Although its dissemination has not achieved full effectiveness, its role in enhancing efficacy has indeed been excellent. Gradually, its "reputation" has spread, thereby yielding significant results in facilitating progress.
In the human world, one can not only cultivate and elevate oneself, but also mutually assist and elevate one's deceased ancestors toward transcendence. Thus, it can be said that under the mutual radiance of reputation, there truly exists genuine efficacy. Moreover, this represents a highly advanced educational institution in the contemporary era.
Very practically, the Chongxin Sect lineage is being promoted to the world at large. This Chongxin Sect lineage serves as the only high-level educational institution in the human realm. This rare and providential opportunity establishes a teaching academy that specifically targets its cultivating scholars. Currently, most of them are able to participate in the certification examination for enlightenment after approximately four years of advancement.
It truly returns to the "Second Heavenly Realm of the Limitless Principle Heaven" to undertake the educational curriculum of advanced study and cultivation. Such a rare and exceptional affinity can only be found within the foremost educational institution in the world. Therefore, the "Limitless Great Dao Academy" of the Chongxin Sect lineage is precisely dedicated to cultivating future emissaries who proclaim the heavenly teachings through high-level military-style training.
The heavens have decreed that the departed souls may now enter the school.
This is the instructional curriculum for all celestial soldiers and generals, which is absolutely not comparable to ordinary educational courses like those of the Zhongtian Star System. It can be distinguished as follows: the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" of the Chongxin Sect lineage have now been completed. There are thirty-six volumes in the celestial book series available for public release, comprising over a thousand sessions of educational curriculum.
To truly comprehend all that occurs from before birth to after birth—including the teachings and practices of renunciation, engagement, and worldly affairs—one must apply such understanding daily and at every moment. This is the essence of realizing the Buddhist ideals of "illuminating the mind, perceiving one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and achieving fruition." Moreover, it involves distilling and embodying the profound essence of the entire Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra.
Drawing from the essence of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hridaya Sūtra," the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" are expounded, and in alignment with the cultivation and teachings imparted to the students of the "Wuji Dadao Academy," they genuinely address: the cosmic galaxies, the evolution of heaven and earth, the conduct of human life, and daily existence—all arising from the processes of "initiating the mind, stirring thoughts, entering intention, and storing consciousness."
To truly comprehend: How should I, at this very moment, dissolve all past ignorance and obstacles? This is not something that ordinary religious scriptures can enable one to genuinely realize; it must be personally embraced and internalized. Within the specialized study of "Consciousness-Only doctrine," one can understand how to conduct oneself and walk the great path of cultivation.
The heavens bestow virtue and grace upon all sentient beings and departed souls.
This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity cannot be genuinely imparted by ordinary religions, thus giving rise to the distinguished "Wuji Great Dao Academy" of the Chongxin Lineage. It is established in the human world to cultivate through the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts" bestowed by Heaven, rather than being confined and hindered like the religious scriptures of the past.
This cultivation method, practiced for over two thousand years, has become partially incompatible with the survival orientations of contemporary humanity. Therefore, in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," it is analyzed through the modern 'Abhidharma' perspective. Beyond addressing all survival orientations in the human world, there exists a form of cultivation and elevation that cannot be fully realized within worldly existence.
It further advances to the more profound teachings and courses, specifically tailored to the Chongxin Sect's establishment of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy," which possesses exceptional conditions surpassing those of ordinary religions. This allows one to truly comprehend the mysteries within, practically and thoroughly grasping the essence of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," and moreover, applying them in practice.
This remarkable condition of effortless application, in turn, allows oneself to ascend and progress throughout this very lifetime! This is not idle talk, but a truly enlightened realization. It serves as the driving force for the diligent cultivation and growth of sentient beings in this era who are blessed by the grace of Heaven, thereby benefiting all of humanity.
The Origin of the Establishment of the Wuji Great Dao Academy
How can one comprehend the compassionate grace of the Supreme Heaven and the celestial immortals and Buddhas? It is precisely by disseminating the profound and wondrous mysteries of divine providence to elevate the teachings of the Chongxin lineage and its disciples. This serves as a condition for upward progress and growth, bringing tangible benefits to one's own development. Thus, one cultivates virtuous causes and conditions, achieving self-realization and the liberation of all sentient beings.
It was precisely by the decree of the Supreme Venerable Mother of the Wuji that the educational curriculum was transmitted through Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu of the Chongxin Sect lineage. This enables a clear understanding for the human world regarding "husband and wife cultivating together, perfecting the family, and blessing future generations." Such celestial opportunities and auspicious affinities are uniquely bestowed upon the Chongxin Sect lineage, allowing these divine opportunities to be disseminated.
Moreover, the Heavenly Realm has truthfully dispatched exceptional talents from the technological civilization as "borrowed generals," descending to transform two hundred thousand individuals within the Chongxin Sect lineage. As long as one can genuinely sacrifice and dedicate themselves, it not only benefits oneself but also truthfully benefits one's descendants. Therefore, as the ancients said, "To have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue." This is absolutely true!
Regarding the teachings and causes in the human world, there exist very practical educational courses. Can one discern the mysteries within them? Precisely because of the blessings from the invisible realms, which stem from the sacrifices and contributions of human beings, there arise good fortune and virtuous descendants. This is the return of giving one and receiving ten thousandfold—a true and faithful reward for those who have given.
Establishing the lineage of the Chongxin Sect,  
Laying the foundation for the Academy of the Great Way of Wuji.
Teaching the departed souls to foster growth,  
A future era of proclaiming heaven's will.
The great opportunity to embody the Way of Heaven lies precisely in the necessity of relying on oneself.
Step by step, a footprint is left,  
Steadfastly returning to the heavenly stairs.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings in the human world to encourage one another. Regarding the establishment of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" by the Chongxin lineage, this is a grace bestowed by the heavens upon the ancestral spirits of sentient beings in the present era, providing them with greater opportunities for future achievements as a foundation. Thank you all for your companionship and contributions. Apologies for any disturbance caused to the Chongxin lineage during this time. Farewell, everyone!

## Wuji Nafu Tianzun
The Supreme Celestial Worthy of Boundless Wealth Ascends,  
Gathering with All the Divine and Devoted in the Hallowed Heart.
May all be auspicious and well; the grand endeavors of the Year Yiwei are sure to be accomplished.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the third of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva, will analyze the establishment of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" by the Chongxin Sect. This is not accidental, nor can it be achieved by willpower alone!
There must be a special and sublime opportunity for elevation and transcendence, which gives rise to the genuine aspiration and power to propagate the Dharma. Moreover, the fundamental condition for its establishment requires the approval of the Supreme Venerable Mother of the Wuji. This not only benefits oneself but also brings benefit to all sentient beings. The next installment will continue this work—let us all look forward to it with anticipation!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Additionally, there will be a new lecture course from the Chan master, so we hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Alright, thank you all for your hard work. Until next time!

##Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
Homage to Manjushri Bodhisattva’s descent,  
Revering the Heart Sect’s lineage, its auspicious signs extend far and wide.
The Celestial Script Series: A Work of Auspiciousness from the Wuji Great Dao Academy.
Ancestral Spirit Growth, Elevation, and Enlightenment Institution
The Chongxin Sect established its hall and founded the world's only "Academy of the Ultimate Way of the Great Dao." This unique set of conditions and connections does not differentiate within the human world among Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam. That is to say, it is practiced within the human realm to bring fulfillment to deceased ancestors and spirits, relying on the support of the formless realm. After the passing of human beings and all living creatures, what then can be done?
It remains possible to achieve the exceptional conditions that were unattainable in one's past human life through the fulfillment and elevation by descendants, and it must also undergo the meticulous examination by the immortals and buddhas of the Chongxin lineage to determine whether one can enter the exceptional opportunity for elevated learning. Observing from the perspective of the human world, such exceptional karmic conditions exist only within the Chongxin lineage.
Thus, this kind of causal condition has been formed and developed. In this way, it can be understood that the establishment of the "Wuji Da Dao Academy" by the Chongxin Sect is precisely because the Chongxin Sect has authored the world's only "Da Dao Series Celestial Books." Within the human realm, this type of causal entity exists solely through the creation of this series of "Da Dao Series Celestial Books."
Over the past eighteen years, all temporal and spatial conditions have evolved through various changes in the human world, giving rise to works composed across different times and spaces. These encompass: from the cosmic galaxies and the entirety of the void, to the Wuji, the Great Luo Heaven, the Brocade Galaxy, the Roman Galaxy... and countless other star systems, including the entire galaxy system of the "Ecliptic and Equator" as its foundation.
The Ascension and Transcendence of the Wuji Great Dao Academy
It descends to manifest in the various ways of human society, experiencing the survival orientations of all human beings, as well as the paths of renunciation and engagement in the world. Furthermore, after the Heavenly Mandate decreed the "New Three Bonds" for reformation, through the practice and conduct of all human beings, it encompasses the entire religious process and the essential necessities for the survival of humanity.
Furthermore, for all human beings, the world's only high-level institution for the enlightenment of departed souls was established, giving rise to the "Wuji Dadao Academy." Within this karmic framework, it can be said: the fundamental nature of humanity across the world is utterly incapable of discerning what such extraordinary karmic conditions truly entail. How profoundly difficult it is!
The uniqueness of the Wuji Great Dao Academy lies in its provision of educational courses specifically for deceased beings. Among all the faith practices in the human world, if one is unable to achieve higher growth, it becomes necessary to undergo the teachings of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy." This process reclassifies and integrates the entirety of the human world through a clear understanding of the "Consciousness-Only" theory.
Human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend what "the principles of Consciousness-Only" are. They only understand the basics of human survival, yet remain unaware that every sentient being, in their daily lives, already applies the specialized knowledge of "the principles of Consciousness-Only." However, human beings are fundamentally unable to recognize that such actions are employed every single day.
The Academy of the Supreme Dao assists the departed souls in their growth.
The entire process, which embodies the profound principles of Buddhism, does not diverge from the orientation of human existence. These exceptional conditions, though fundamentally incomprehensible in the human world, still manifest as virtuous concepts to support the daily lives of all human beings.
When it comes to the inability to transcend the circumstances shaped by any given time and space—a condition even humanity cannot fully comprehend—how then should I proceed in practice? Regarding all aspects of present existence, engaging in a two-way dialogue with the Buddhist theory of "Consciousness-Only" makes it practically clear that human beings are guided by the direction set forth by religion.
To reach a necessity for upward growth, one will then have a wholesome attachment to existence. In this world, it is essential to understand the Buddhist doctrine of "Consciousness-Only." By comprehending the entirety of concepts and phenomena, one can transcend one's own existence more truthfully and advance into higher levels of religious cultivation for further elevation.
If one is unable to understand these concepts and terms, then after passing away in the future, it will depend on each individual’s karma and conditions to determine whether they can enter the "Academy of the Supreme Ultimate Great Dao" established by Heaven for advancement and learning. Those who possess favorable conditions and good karma to enter will have the opportunity for more genuine growth and transcendence.
The Academy of Enlightenment for Departed Souls and Their Kin, Ordained by Heaven.
The extraordinary nature of the Wuji Great Dao Academy lies in its establishment by Vice Chairperson Ma Xiangu of the Chongxin Sect lineage, who reverently received the virtuous decree of the Supreme Wuji Huangmu. This has enabled the Chongxin Sect lineage to achieve a more tangible transcendence, while also elevating all past ignorance in the human world into a "more militarized educational institution."
Therefore, all scholars who enter the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" for cultivation and study will be trained in accordance with the divine laws of the heavens. This involves a militarized education aimed at cultivating "celestial soldiers and generals," which establishes the foundation for all future teaching curricula. Thus, the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" of the Chongxin Sect lineage is by no means an ordinary institution for educating departed souls.
With the powerful support of the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Deity of the Mysterious Heavens, and the strong recommendation of the Great Chairman of the Chongxin Sect, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wenzheng, all causal retributions for the students of the academy have been suspended during their period of cultivation. This ensures that all students can focus on their learning and growth with peace of mind.
It is hoped that in the future, there will be those among the ranks of "proclaiming the teachings of Heaven and embodying the way of Heaven" who, through all educational and transformative courses in this human world, will, in about four years, have the opportunity to undergo the examination of the fruits (the Way) by the Divine Providence. This will lead to genuine elevation and evolution, bringing great benefits to their own future.
Fulfilling the wishes of ancestors and family members brings benefits to both the living and the departed.
It is truly possible to discern clearly: How should I further evolve and achieve greater growth! This is precisely the remarkable aspect of the "Wuji Dao Academy" within the Chongxin lineage, which enables the deceased to attain tangible evolutionary progress and transcendence within four to eight years. This process also allows a departed soul to undergo the examination and certification of its spiritual fruits by the Heavenly Mandate.
It is through all the educational courses of the Chongxin Sect lineage that significant growth has been achieved, which is also unparalleled in the world. Moreover, as observed at present, no other religion possesses such an evolutionary and exceptional educational curriculum as the "Wuji Dadao Academy." This is a manifestation of the grace bestowed by Heaven upon humanity and all living beings, as well as upon deceased ancestors, enabling their growth.
Moreover, this training course for "Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals" is genuinely imparted to the human world for its evolution. For all intangible departed souls, through the fulfillment of their earthly benefactors, they can, after earnest effort and diligence, truly evolve, surpass themselves in growth, and thereby benefit their own being.
Establishing the lineage of the Heart Reverence Sect,  
A foundation for high-level teachings.
The Academy of the Great Dao of Wuji  
Nurtures the virtuous and studious.
Through four to eight years of time,  
Growth must rely on oneself.
Strive for daily progress and diligence, and you will surely ascend to the boundless heights.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. Let us analyze the second session of the Wuji Great Dao Academy: Why does such a sublime teaching and affinity exist in the human world? It is because the living, through repaying kindness, help these departed souls achieve growth—this is the true path! Thank you all for accompanying this work and for spending time with the Chongxin lineage. Until we meet again!
Chapter 36: The Integration of All Teachings, Transforming Conflict into Harmony
## Wuji Daozhen Tianzun
The Supreme Celestial of the Boundless Good Path ascends,  
gathering together all the revered deities and virtuous beings of the Chongxin Assembly.
May all be auspicious and well; with diligence in the Year of the Goat, fortune and blessings shall manifest.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the fourth of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, Namo Manjushri Bodhisattva, has descended to compose this work. The greatness of the fourteenth session of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" under the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association can be said to have brought profound insights into the teaching curriculum of the Chongxin lineage.
What is the deeper meaning within this? It is achieved through all the extraordinary causes and conditions in the human world, distinguished by the karmic ties to benefactors in the living realm and the intangible spirits of the departed. Without virtuous causes and conditions, what can one do? Nor does having the ability alone guarantee the elevation and admission of ancestral spirits and departed loved ones! Today, we have come this far—thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Postscript, Editorial Notes
讚賀、序引、頌勉
##Namo Ananda Bodhisattva
Namo Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, how vast is the virtue and grace of heaven and earth.
A wondrous cause gives rise to the True Buddha,  
Teaching the Way of the Limitless in the Great Dao Hall.
The Benevolent Guidance of Immortals and Buddhas in Teaching the Celestial Curriculum
Thus, the Chongxin Sect was established in the world, setting up an institution that had never existed in the human realm, dedicated to the education of departed souls and ancestors. Through this, humanity can achieve the fulfillment of their deceased ancestors, allowing the toils and hardships of ancestors and loved ones to become a source of virtue and protection for future generations.
Thus, there would be no educational opportunities in the present human world. This is a special bond established by the descent of Heaven into the mortal realm, ordained by the sacred decree of the Supreme Celestial Mother of Wuji, and strongly supported by the virtuous grace of the Supreme Celestial Jade Emperor of Haotian, to establish high-level educational institutions in the human world.
In the present era, the Supreme Emperor of Literature and Military, the Lord of the Southern Heaven, has temporarily suspended the karmic retribution for past causes of the academy's cultivating scholars. This allows these scholars to wholeheartedly enter the "Academy of the Ultimate Great Way" and diligently study and grow. For the human world, this is akin to the educational training courses for "heavenly soldiers and generals" that were once conducted in the celestial realm.
This is a teaching affinity unmatched by any other religion, truly enabling all students of the academy to learn and grow in accordance with reality. Regarding the supreme affinity of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" bestowed by the grace of Heaven, from the perspective of the contemporary human world, there is no second institution with an educational curriculum quite like that of Chongxin!
The Teachings of the Academy of the Great Dao of Wuji
Moreover, the extraordinary educational curriculum that can be attained can be described as follows: This system has been shaped through the karmic connections achieved by the celestial immortals and Buddha teachers in the past. It is faithfully expounded in the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," allowing one to understand that all the educational courses within are fundamentally not teachings of the past, but rather draw upon a highly advanced educational curriculum.
It is very practical, allowing the souls of all beings to achieve significant growth within a single lifetime, while also placing themselves in an opportunity for elevation and transcendence. This kind of opportunity has been brought forth by the celestial immortals and buddhas, who descended upon the Chongxin lineage, initiating educational courses that were previously absent in the overall space of the Earthly Underworld Star.
Thus, there is immense power to facilitate one's growth and cultivation through gradual influence. In this way, the celestial immortals and buddhas, acting as teachers, have descended upon the Chongxin lineage to guide and deliver all past deceased beings. It is truly as indicated over eight years, yet within approximately four years, one may participate in the divine assessment of spiritual attainment by the Heavenly Court.
It must be understood that due to past karmic connections, we all attended classes together within the Chongxin Sect. After expanding through the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" to broaden our space, and further with the growth of classroom and campus construction, the original karmic ties that once bound us together in study at the Chongxin Sect were separated, thereby avoiding mutual interference.
The Supreme Teachings of the Wuji Great Dao Academy
Master Li Xin Chan, after achieving enlightenment, simultaneously engaged in two endeavors: while composing the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" within the Chongxin Sect lineage, he also elevated his spirit to the "Wuji Dadao Academy." There, he concurrently undertook the analysis of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," truthfully distinguishing the energy fields of the past from those of the Chongxin Sect lineage.
This approach allows the Chongxin Sect to achieve greater growth and accurately distinguishes the participation of different energy entities in the works. As for the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" in the mortal realm, it is established by the heavens in the mid-air of the Chongxin Sect, fostering virtuous and beneficial growth. This expands the educational karmic connections of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy."
It is also under such exceptional conditions that all past deceased souls can, in a very truthful manner, discern their own ignorance and obstacles: for me, how can I overcome such limitations and practically move toward greater fulfillment! This applies to all the deceased ancestors of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" in the human world.
There is a unique condition not found in other religions: the establishment of a teaching institution rich in resources and provisions. Everyone can sense that for the souls of ancestors and relatives, as well as for karmic creditors who are uplifted and enrolled in the "Wuji Dadao Academy," after a certain period, the obstacles and great calamities faced by their living benefactors in the mortal world will be significantly reduced.
Training of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals in the Celestial Realm
Moreover, many situations begin to improve after entering the school. This extraordinary set of causes and conditions is precisely the manifestation of Heaven's virtuous grace, achieving the perfection of "benefiting both the spiritual and physical realms" in the human world. Through the guidance of the immortal and buddha teachers, who never fail to reward the sincere intentions of those in the mortal world who repay kindness, all different causes and conditions are met with corresponding educational teachings.
This concept of mutual assistance between the underworld and the mortal realm, aimed at achieving harmony for both ancestors and loved ones as well as resolving karmic debts, is unparalleled by other religions. It often brings about profound positive transformations and greatly aids living benefactors in securing family peace, gradual financial prosperity, and physical well-being.
It also greatly enhances the growth and benefits of the Dao fruit, and even brings substantial wealth to some individuals. This is determined by each person's fortune, and it can be clearly understood: the educational curriculum of the "Wuji Dadao Academy" is by no means comparable to that of ordinary religions. It genuinely allows for the experience of "illuminating the mind, seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit."
Moreover, it even analyzes the cause and effect of "the mutual transformation between Buddha and demon." For the growth and benefit of the academy's scholars, everyone can, through the educational curriculum of the Chongxin lineage, discern the absorption of all celestial and terrestrial energy bodies. It also elucidates the cycles of the "operation of heaven and earth" and the cosmic galaxy within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," surpassing other religions in this regard.
The Establishment of the Wuji Great Dao Hall  
Provides a Refuge for the Souls of the Departed in the Human Realm.
One can thus truly grow and progress;  
To transcend and ascend is the original intent.
The curriculum of military education is not comparable to that of general education.
The Education of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals  
Achievement will surely be true and genuine.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. In the future training of teachers within the Chongxin lineage, it will help clarify: the teachings of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" courses, which are based on the entire "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" and the actual enlightenment processes of the heavenly immortals and buddhas. Thank you all for accompanying the writing and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell!

##Wuji Daoyuan Xiangu
The cause and condition of the Ultimate Void are truly sublime,  
Bringing forth blessings and auspiciousness to be manifested in the human realm.
The Celestial Worthy arrives today to take his turn,  
marking the conclusion of this series of heavenly scriptures.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Eight Great Bodhisattvas—specifically, Nāmo Mahāsthāmaprāpta Bodhisattva—have personally descended to compose the fifteenth installment of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association. A portion of the educational curriculum of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" has been transmitted, truly addressing the future propagation and transformation of the Chongxin lineage.
To have such genuine expansion is also due to the merciful grace of Heaven, which descends to educate the human world. This applies the connection between heaven and earth, and the virtuous bonds fostered by Heaven together with humanity, to nurture growth. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Let us strive diligently. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Namo Maitreya Bodhisattva
Homage to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva  
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect bears great responsibility.
The Celestial Scrolls series of classic works  
Bring benefit to sentient beings and departed souls alike.
A great and exceedingly rare cause in the human world.
Sentient beings in the human realm—can they have the favorable opportunity to enter into a moment of learning and growth? It can be said: in the past, there was no such extraordinary opportunity. Only after the Jiazi year of the lower cycle of the Republic of China era did the Heavens begin to allow some departed souls to be elevated and enrolled in learning. This opportunity, however, has only been granted to a few lineages as a response to their transformation.
Rarely does a comprehensive enhancement in admission lead to the mission and duty of the Heavenly Realm. Whether it can achieve a more authentic opportunity for upward transcendence depends on whether these specialized courses, designed for the souls of sentient beings to enter and enhance their admission, can be granted divine opportunities and favorable conditions by the Heavenly Realm, thereby enabling their own growth and advancement.
It can be understood: The educational curriculum of the "Wuji Dadao Academy" can be compared to the levels of other religions, surpassing them rather than falling short. It also becomes clear that the teaching methods of the "Wuji Dadao Academy" are based on the educational curriculum used by Heaven to train celestial soldiers and generals, serving as military education for these departed souls.
In the future, this will far surpass the courses accomplished by other sects. It is also a part of the curriculum through which the Heavenly Realm educates the entire cosmic galaxy on the "true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth." This educational program is truly profound, not something ordinary individuals can comprehend, and thus it is incomparable!
All matters of the underworld require twenty-six days for a round trip.
Few educational courses are as remarkable as those of the "Chongxin Lineage." It can be said that they are truly extraordinary! These foundational courses, designed to elevate students into the "Wuji Great Dao Academy," are taught by celestial immortals and buddhas. Drawing from the essential curricula of all past achievements, they offer various forms of discernment, advancement, and transcendence, thereby benefiting future generations in their learning.
Rather than something the general populace can readily comprehend; because the training program for the Heavenly Troops and Generals of the Divine Realm is far more rigorous than contemporary military education. Therefore, the future educational curriculum represents a higher level of training, designed to achieve a truly authentic and thorough cultivation.
This kind of karma pertains to the spirits of the deceased, whether they are adversaries, creditors, deceased ancestors, or the elevation of infant spirits. It must be fulfilled through the living who repay their kindness, for only by ascending upward is the true nature realized. In this, there are many deficiencies in karma, making it impossible to fully comprehend. How then can we achieve fulfillment for the intangible spirits of the departed?
In fact, there are many methods. By sincerely assisting the deceased in their completion, greater elevation and growth can be achieved. For ordinary deceased souls, should such cases be reported as special projects, or should they be reported after monthly compilation? This involves the operational procedures of the underworld. For such official document exchanges, a processing period of twenty-six days is required.
Ascending into the Academy of the Supreme Way of Wuji
Unless it is an urgent or special project, all other matters will proceed according to the normal procedures, and that will suffice. The elevation process for all invisible departed souls in the mortal realm, including relatives, dependents, and karmic creditors, is conducted precisely in accordance with the decrees established by the Heavenly Realm, aiming for a greater evolutionary transcendence within the spiritual world.
It also truthfully reveals that all the deceased souls in the human world, after being promoted to enter the school, can undergo the examination for the fruition of enlightenment by the Supreme Heaven in about four to eight years. In comparison, ordinary religions are relatively lax and cannot provide the same kind of military-style education as the Chongxin Sect. This contrast serves to present the situation even more realistically.
Regarding all educational curricula, many newer trends have been incorporated, which contribute to the wholesome development of all educational programs in today's world. In this way, the teachings of the Chongxin Sect's "Academy of the Great Dao of Wuji" surpass, rather than fall short of, the educational curricula of other religions.
Therefore, the heavens have also truthfully elevated the grading standards for the Chongxin Sect's "Wuji Great Dao Academy." While in general religions, a score of 60 is sufficient to pass, in the Wuji Great Dao Academy of the Chongxin Sect, one must achieve above 90 points to qualify for the biannual certification examination.
Ability alone does not guarantee admission.
Additionally, Master Li Xin Chan has consistently requested of Chong Xin Xian Fo Laoshi that if individuals are only scoring around 89 points, they should not be permitted to enter the Heavenly Dao Attainment Examination. They may be granted an extension of half a year in time and space, awaiting the next cycle. Only when they can achieve a score above 92 points should they be allowed to enter the examination for verifying their spiritual attainment.
Otherwise, with just a moment of carelessness, one may lose a point or two, and thus fail to pass the 90-point threshold required for the verification of spiritual attainment. This is truly regrettable—imagine if everyone else passes, and only one or two fail; how could one bear such an outcome! Therefore, for the admission of departed souls, it is essential to obtain the approval of the revered celestial teachers of Chongxin.
Only then can one enter the "Academy of the Supreme Way of the Infinite" to advance in their studies. This divine opportunity and rare affinity can be described as the greatest in all the world! It is not merely a matter of worldly benefactors having the capability to achieve it. Just as previously, some departed souls were instructed by immortal and enlightened teachers to "wait temporarily," which involves many underlying issues.
Consequently, many negative deeds and transgressions have arisen, making it impossible to enter the "Academy of the Great Dao of the Wuji" as desired to advance in learning. However, for the Chongxin Sect lineage, it is possible to genuinely assist me (Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) in fulfilling the vow to guide and deliver sentient beings. This is achieved through the compassionate grace and virtuous blessings bestowed by the Supreme Celestial Mother of the Wuji.
It still requires the careful scrutiny and approval of the immortal and buddhist teachers.
It is an institution of the highest order of teaching within the mundane world, and it truly addresses this extraordinary opportunity. For one’s deceased loved ones and ancestors, it provides a favorable and virtuous connection, enabling them to enter the "Wuji Great Dao Academy"—an educational institution that genuinely facilitates the elevation and transcendence of the deceased, and in turn, brings tangible benefits to oneself.
This addresses the rare karmic connections within the human realm. In ordinary temples or halls, it is relatively common for departed souls to enter and advance through learning. However, to achieve transcendence and elevation akin to the Chongxin lineage, one must possess virtuous karmic causes from past lives, be among the four hundred million disciples of the Buddha, or receive the support and fulfillment through borrowed talents and inventors, only then can one smoothly ascend and enter the path of learning.
This kind of intangible spirit of the deceased can, in a very real sense, achieve benevolent fulfillment and elevation within four to eight years. Moreover, through this karmic connection, one can understand: does the intangible spirit of the deceased possess such a karmic condition for growth? Thus, it becomes clear that for the spirit itself, the addition of a living benefactor repaying a debt of gratitude can help fulfill the expenses required for entering the school of spiritual advancement.
It is essential to have the support of printing and dedicating merits to facilitate the transformation and fulfillment of spiritual achievements. All of these must be accomplished by the living who repay kindness. Without such conditions, it would be impossible to establish a high-level educational curriculum, much like the stages of education in the human world: kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and high school. Isn’t the comparison quite evident?
The scholars in the academy are diligently cultivating themselves and making progress.
However, are there even fewer individuals who possess the qualifications of a university bachelor's degree, as well as those of a master's or doctoral degree? Furthermore, after graduating from a monastic college with a bachelor's degree, those who seek to further advance and study abroad—that is, those who, after obtaining a doctoral qualification in the secular world, continue to pursue further refinement through post-doctoral studies—find that, in contrast, the secular world fundamentally lacks such educational programs.
It can be clearly discerned that, within the training courses of religion, only the Chongxin lineage possesses such a supreme opportunity. This is due to the compassionate grace of the Supreme Celestial Mother of Wuji, who trains a group of souls from the mortal realm to transcend and ascend. Such high-level educational programs represent an exceptionally remarkable form of training.
It is absolutely not the case that any ordinary religion, merely by proclaiming the banner of returning to the Heavenly Principle, can genuinely enter the educational curriculum of the "Wuji Heavenly Principle." Therefore, those who have the opportunity to enter the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" must have accumulated, over many lifetimes, exceptionally rare and superior conditions in order to be admitted and advance their studies there.
Rather than being a simple enrollment process, this exceptional opportunity represents a profound elevation for humanity—a high-level military education and training institution unparalleled by ordinary standards. Only by advancing and transcending the worldly educational curriculum can we achieve a virtuous return and perfect transcendence.
The Academy of the Great Dao of Wuji opens,  
All sentient departed souls may now enter.
Self-reliance in learning and growth ensures that true merit is recorded.
The worldly ties have reached their end,  
Whether as man or ghost, the truth is hard to comprehend.
Suffering, when consciously directed upward, becomes the cause for the accumulation of merit and the return to blessedness.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it also sincerely hopes that all educational training and teacher development courses of the Chongxin lineage can truly manifest the protection bestowed by heaven and earth. May such conditions of affinity genuinely cooperate with the workings of the underworld. We are deeply grateful for the great vow and power of the Chongxin lineage in offering their steadfast support.
This can help fulfill my (Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva) great vow. Therefore, all deities, Buddhas, students, and members of the Chongxin lineage should encourage one another in this endeavor. By doing so, there will be favorable conditions and good karma for the spirits of your ancestors and departed loved ones! Very well. Today, I thank you all for accompanying me in this work and for spending this time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!
##The Immortal Maiden of Infinite Tao Transmission
The Supreme Venerable of the Wuji Dao Truth ascends,  
Gathering together with the revered deities and sages of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well;  
May the Wuji Great Dao Temple ascend.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the sixth of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas—Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva—has descended to compose the sixteenth installment of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society, delving into the analysis of ascension into the Wuji Great Dao Academy, offering everyone an opportunity for growth through the teacher education curriculum.
Only by discerning the mundane world can evolution be truly elevated and transcended, and this is solely due to the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin lineage. At present, there is no second institution with educational courses like those of the Chongxin lineage. We hope everyone will join in wholeheartedly to promote the remarkable affinity of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy." Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. We hope everyone will grow together! Keep striving hard, and farewell for now!
##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
Namo Ananda Bodhisattva, the lineage of the Chongxin Sect is vast and far-reaching.
The sole masterpiece under heaven,  
The Dadao series bestows excellent tales.
A truly extraordinary opportunity in the world.
In the world, most religious education curricula are primarily aimed at human beings, serving as a means to initiate the current religious teachings. Very few, like the Chongxin Sect, offer courses to educate the souls of the deceased and sentient beings. If such courses exist, most rely solely on the support of the Mid-Heaven Realm, similar to the educational programs of the "Gathering of Goodness" in the underworld.
It is exceedingly difficult in the current era to establish a broader educational curriculum for the overall cosmic galaxies. It can be said that for the Chongxin lineage, the establishment of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" as an educational institution is not a condition that ordinary individuals can achieve. It necessarily requires the merciful permission of the Heavenly Realm, and moreover, the personal sacred decree of the Supreme Venerable Mother of Wuji.
Within the high-level educational institutions of the human world, courses for growth and elevation are offered, much like the Chongxin Sect’s creation of the world's only complete series of the "Heavenly Books of the Great Dao." This represents a condition yet unseen in the human realm, and it truthfully dissects the virtuous grace of the entire cosmic galaxy and the evolution of heaven and earth.
For all sentient beings, regardless of whether they follow a religious path or engage in non-religious cultivation, it is essential to discern with utmost clarity: humanity should strive for goodness, growth, and transcendence. This opportunity is unprecedented in the history of the human world. Accordingly, the entire series of celestial texts has been composed, meticulously analyzing all the shortcomings, deficiencies, and misguided practices of humankind.
The Academy of the One and Only Limitless Great Dao in the World
Such conditions require profound karmic connections, as well as the descent of those who have attained elevation and transcendence in past lives into the human realm, in order to create a virtuous opportunity. From the perspective of all religions in the human world, there is fundamentally no other tradition capable of possessing such conditions and opportunities. It is through the assistance of benefactors in the human realm that these karmic connections are realized.
This is for the elevation and enrollment of departed ancestors and loved ones into the "Academy of the Supreme Dao." This is not merely a matter of ordinary affinity; rather, it requires a thorough examination of whether there have been virtuous connections across lifetimes. Only then can one enter the "Academy of the Supreme Dao" as a cultivating scholar. The courses taught there also genuinely transcend the limitations of the past.
Not limited to: the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues alone, such is the "Academy of the Supreme Ultimate Dao" of the Chongxin lineage—a bridge between the human world and the heavens. It trains all high-level practitioners, preparing them for the educational destinies of over four hundred million future galaxies, enabling these accomplished monastic scholars to attain even more transcendent states of fruition.
Moreover, it can even enlighten future human beings and sentient beings to elevate and transcend, as there truly exists a virtuous opportunity. This is because the divine grace bestowed by Heaven upon all human beings in the vast universe enables them to ascend, grow, elevate, and transcend, thereby achieving genuine virtuous accomplishments. Such is the grace of Heaven and Earth, serving as a clear testament to attaining enlightenment and fruition in the future.
Ancestors and relatives can be elevated to enter the school.
It is truly possible to genuinely "illuminate the mind, perceive one's nature, attain enlightenment, and realize the fruit of practice." Therefore, all students in the academy diligently strive to cultivate themselves, aspiring to attain the wholesome causes and conditions that lead to the elevation of enlightenment. This opportunity and pivotal moment are bestowed by the grace of Heaven, specifically upon the "Wuji Dadao Academy," which stands as the sole institution between heaven and earth that offers such a genuine opportunity for realizing the fruit of enlightenment.
It will also be transferred to the benefactors in the mortal world, offering them an opportunity for enlightenment worth 200 to 2,000 merits. This serves as the foundation for the future achievements of all sentient beings. Only the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" of the Chongxin lineage stands as an elite training institution between heaven and earth, fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted by Heaven.
All living beings should rightfully grow in goodness, which has brought forth the divine grace of Heaven upon the sentient beings of the twenty-first century today. This enables them to discern that such conditions and methods of teaching are by no means comparable to those of ordinary religious sects. Given this opportunity and these conditions, there will undoubtedly be a basis for achieving genuine and tangible fruits of enlightenment.
It is essential to first observe whether the deceased themselves have truly undergone training aimed at dissolving all past ignorance, as only then can virtuous fruition be attained. This is discernible through the curriculum of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy": whether human beings, in this very lifetime, can dissolve the adverse karmic causes and effects accumulated from past existences.
The Sole Spiritual Enlightenment Institution of Heaven and Earth
One must truly attain the fruit of enlightenment within oneself. If there remain karmic retributions from past lives that come to demand settlement, all virtuous causes and effects may be reserved for future resolution. However, if unwholesome karma arises to demand retribution, one may employ the method of "remote transference" to first resolve the karmic demands from past lives. In doing so, the claimant will be endowed with abundant blessings and opportunities.
This is a necessary and truthful settlement in the "Wuji Great Dao Academy's" retribution of karma, which genuinely resolves past-life karmic consequences. If it is to be compensated through virtuous karma, it shall be determined according to the conditions of time and space. This is the grace of Heaven, allowing the ancestral spirits of sentient human beings to one day achieve true resolution and fulfillment.
It is precisely by not being obscured by the karma of retribution that the settling of karmic debts no longer functions as it did in the past. There is no need to wait for those who settle karmic debts to elevate themselves, nor to mutually offset the retributions of karma. This condition is of immense grace and virtue for sentient human beings, as well as for the departed ancestors and loved ones among sentient spirits, benefiting both the realms of yin and yang and allowing mutual gain.
Such occurrences are exceedingly rare in the mortal world, and thus, for the majority of ordinary human beings, the notion that departed loved ones can ascend, learn, and progress upward is largely met with disbelief. Many would even remark, "Once dead, they are gone; how could they possibly linger and trouble their descendants?" This reflects a profound ignorance and obstruction regarding the realms of yin and yang.
The One and Only in the Human Realm: The Academy of the Ultimate Great Dao
Why do all human beings exist on the Earth Star? Moreover, on this Earth Star, half of the beings are human, while the other half are beings of the underworld. Otherwise, how else can we distinguish and understand the mutual benefits of yin and yang, truly comprehend the separation between yin and yang, and experience the workings of the aura and magnetic fields in the human world?
Regarding the Earth's space, why is one half bathed in sunlight while the other half lies in darkness? Why must human beings alternate between work and rest? This condition arises from the coexistence of the realms of darkness and light, which also shapes the Earth as a space half in shadow and half in light. All human beings, too, possess a body that is half yin and half yang.
This concept of the tangible realm of the living and the intangible realm of the afterlife, concerning all human beings, gives rise to the necessity of benefiting both the yin and yang. As the ancient saying goes: "If the ancestors are content, their descendants prosper; if the ancestors are troubled, their descendants struggle." This illustrates the constraints imposed by the human world.
Why is there a planet Earth for beings to inhabit? Human beings dwell in a space that is half yin and half yang, and the entire earthly realm exists in this state of half yin and half yang. It must be understood that the living spaces of the northern and southern hemispheres cannot be dismissed as superstition or as something unseen. Thus, how can the living space of the human world be elevated and transcended? It is through the benevolent grace of the Heavenly Providence, which guides the growth and return of human beings.
The heavens and the earth solely act to teach and transform,  
so that the souls of all beings may ascend and be uplifted.
One must understand the world of mortals—  
Why it is half in shadow, half in light.
The Wuji Great Dao Academy elevates,  
enabling each ancestor to achieve mastery.
Thus, goodness and virtue will flourish and grow,  
In time, they shall bear the fruit of true Bodhisattva enlightenment.
This verse! Let us encourage one another with fellow sentient beings; and for those in the human world dwelling in a state of half-darkness and half-light, how can one elevate and transcend? It shall be based on the works of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books" to return and transcend, allowing oneself to witness the truth as it is. I thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor, and apologize for disturbing the Chongxin Sect lineage for some time. Farewell, everyone!
##Limitless Principle and Dharma Immortal Maiden
The Immortal Maiden of the Boundless Dao Circle Ascends,  
Gathering with All the Sacred Beings of the Reverent Heart.
May all be auspicious and well; the training of the spirit-writing medium has been elevated.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the work is composed through the descent of Namo Ananda Bodhisattva. The Wuji Great Dao Academy, as the one and only institution between heaven and earth, truthfully analyzes and clarifies understanding for everyone. This approach to future education can greatly reduce the need for aimless exploration, leading to genuine achievements through virtuous causes and conditions.
Further instruction: Regarding the training of the four principal spirit-medium apprentices of this lineage, due to Huang Sheng Shixian being in preparation for childbirth, the Holy Mother in Heaven has specially instructed that her training shall resume after six months. As for the other three—Qingfang, Hongyan, and Jinghong—their training has now reached the standard required to serve as principal spirit-mediums. They will demonstrate this in the next divine revelation for all to witness.
Simultaneously, this serves as the first preliminary examination. Therefore, in the next session, we will gather at the Void Hall on the second floor half an hour earlier. Following the arrangement for three individuals, each allocated 30 to 40 minutes, everyone will accompany and train together as a foundation for the future. Initially, we will use the peach wood brush instead of the golden finger technique, and begin with training according to the rituals of the Luanmen tradition.
Additionally, a separate date has been selected on Saturday to conduct the examination for the Golden Finger Marvelous Method training. For the student Qingfang, due to other matters, it is necessary to make up for the training within the coming days: the training spans seven times seven, forty-nine days. We hope everyone can join together to facilitate this. It is also possible to utilize the time starting from 1 p.m. on Saturday, ensuring it does not interfere with the sacred duty of "Chanji Breaking Through Delusions." Furthermore, the training of the principal oracle must adhere to the forty-nine-day period. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Farewell for now!
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipankara
Namo, all beings are Tathagatas; the Pure Land of Maitreya has long been open.
The Bodhisattva descends to manifest the true Buddha; the lineage of Chongxin bears this responsibility.
High-level Education and Culture in Human Society
Since the establishment of the Chongxin Hall, nineteen years have now passed. This opportunity and condition represent a significant responsibility for all of humanity. It can be said that, from the perspective of the Daoist tradition, this is indeed a vast religious opportunity, one that genuinely offers a way to transcend the limitations of past ignorance in the human world.
Now, the Heavenly Realm has once again bestowed the Chongxin Sect lineage to cultivate and reform the past "old Three Bonds," so as to genuinely adapt to the future generations of humanity. This addresses the necessity of "ethical norms" derived from the "regulations of morality and ethics," and step by step, it seeks to amend and transform all the deficiencies and shortcomings that existed in the human world of the past.
It can be said: In the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, the educational curriculum is unparalleled by ordinary religions. It faithfully carries forward the ancient classics that have persisted in human religious traditions for 2,500 years. Now, as we have entered the era of the entire "cosmic galaxy," all past educational approaches should have long been transformed.
It is through the Heavenly Will's observation and guidance of the Chongxin Sect over these eighteen years that we have come to understand: the education bestowed upon the Chongxin Sect follows the principle of "strict masters produce outstanding disciples." This cannot be compared to the ordinary training of human beings, and indeed, such conditions and opportunities have been thoroughly examined and verified by the Heavenly Will.
The Sublime Teaching Curriculum of the Chongxin Lineage
Each year, with outstanding achievements and the repeated affirmation of the divine immortals and Buddhas in the heavens, the criteria for action are implemented without any compromise. Therefore, in the educational curriculum of the Chongxin lineage, the methods of worldly education are faithfully upheld and accomplished, allowing for advancement toward higher-level teachings.
This is not merely an evaluation within the mortal realm; moreover, there is the rigorous assessment of Heaven. All the efforts of the Chongxin Sect over the past eighteen years have indeed earned the affirmation of Heaven. Therefore, the Chongxin Sect has truly attained the "trustworthiness and usefulness" recognized by Heaven—a condition not easily achieved by ordinary beings.
Thus, over the course of eighteen years, it is essential to initiate educational and instructional programs aimed at humanity, addressing all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors among human beings. By providing guidance for their survival and development, humanity will achieve virtuous growth, and the "ethical principles and moral codes" of the world will evolve accordingly.
In this lifetime, I am capable of ascending rather than perpetually sinking into the mere survival orientation of the human world. I am able to discern that for the Chongxin Sect lineage, all thirty-six volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored over the past eighteen years can now be made public, along with the four forthcoming volumes of instructional courses.
In the mortal world, the celestial scriptures of the Great Dao series are exceedingly rare.
Such causal conditions can be discerned and understood. The "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Chongxin Sect lineage encompass the entire cosmic galaxy, the vast heavens and earth, and the dependencies of human existence, evolving into higher-level instructional courses. It can be understood that this fosters benevolent growth in the human world and brings genuine benefits.
It also truthfully conveys that the teaching curriculum of the Chongxin Sect extends throughout the entire space of the Diming Star, including the educational programs of the underworld. This has gradually transformed the past educational approach, which solely emphasized the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues. This transformation is driven by the Chongxin Sect, which serves as the "bellwether" for growth and elevation.
Thus, for the education in the human world as well as the educational methods in the underworld, the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" are gradually being adopted as textbook curricula. This approach, which encompasses all that was previously understood in the human world and all the courses offered in the underworld's "Gathering of Virtues Institute," is increasingly establishing the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" as the standard curriculum.
It is truly a beneficial and progressive curriculum tailored to the technological civilization of the 21st century, aimed at preventing future generations of humanity from being unable to connect with contemporary technological advancements after their birth into the world. It also faithfully incorporates the teaching methods of the underworld, aligning with the educational curriculum of the Chongxin lineage.
The grace of Heaven rests upon all humanity.
This is not something ordinary individuals can discern. It involves revising the curriculum of teachings from the netherworld, specifically altering the courses within the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts." Only by aligning with the duties mandated by the heavens can those born into the human world in the future grow in accordance with the transformations intended by the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts."
Regarding one's own scientific concepts, this is precisely aimed at the future survival orientation of all sentient beings, and can already be adapted to the educational curriculum of the human world. That is, through the Chongxin lineage in the twenty-first century, it responds to and transforms the "New Three Bonds and Constants" that Heaven seeks to revise and reform. This transformation is carried out by the entire cosmos in response.
Regarding the traditional three cardinal guides—ruler guides subject, father guides son, husband guides wife—after their refinement, the new three cardinal guides, namely "loyalty and righteousness between ruler and subject, kinship between parents and children, and harmony between husband and wife," come into play. This does not erase the ethical norms of the past but truthfully guides human society toward a more progressive direction of development.
It is precisely because it genuinely benefits all sentient beings and fosters positive ethical functions that the Supreme Divinity has chosen the Chongxin lineage over these eighteen years, and not without reason. This distinction can be understood as providing educational courses for the realms of the Void Heaven, the Wuji Heaven, the Southern Heaven, and the Western Heaven, among others.
All the celestial immortals and Buddhas gather at the Chongxin Lineage.
All Buddhas, Saints, and Bodhisattvas descend to revere and support the lineage of the Heart School. They truly accomplish everything from human birth, survival, aging, and death, to liberation after passing away. This constitutes a higher-level teaching course, which is not something ordinary beings can transcend. It genuinely manifests in the human world, enabling upward growth and progress.
For this life of mine, how should I advance toward a higher level, and even integrate with the evolution of technological civilization in the 21st century? This overall function of the Chongxin lineage is precisely a rather advanced condition, which truly enables the transcendence of all worldly orientations of existence and human ethics.
This is not only about the process of survival; it also encompasses all the religious sects and lineages you believe in, none of which can truly understand: how does one transcend and grow in the human world? Those who remain stuck in their ways, cling rigidly to fixed beliefs, or reject other religions—these individuals will only return in the next life to continue their guardianship once more!
If one's blessings are too abundant, it is easy to sink back into the mundane world. This serves as a caution to all sentient beings, truthfully reminding everyone not to repeatedly reject the teachings and opportunities offered by other religions. Instead, one should cultivate a broad-minded perspective for growth and elevation, avoiding "rigid attachment" and "self-imposed isolation," and not dismissing the wholesome resources for development provided by other faiths. It is essential to reflect deeply on this!
A lifetime in the mortal world passes in an instant; one must keep the heart and mind broad and open.
If one is content to stand still and self-isolate,  
clinging stubbornly to rigidity brings great hardship.
Do not reject the virtue of heaven,  
For it enlightens the human world with pure compassion.
Self-improvement and transcendence rely on oneself,  
Only then can one return to the virtue of hidden merits.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings in the human world as mutual encouragement. It analyzes the profound and weighty responsibility of the Chongxin lineage, aiming at the growth of the Great Dao, and ensures that all may truly gain and benefit from it. Well, thank you all for your companionship and for sparing some time with Chongxin. Farewell for now!
##Wuji Mandexian Gu
The Immortal Maiden of Limitless Transmission ascends,  
Together gathering with the divine beings of Chongxin.
Maitreya Bodhisattva is an ancient Buddha,  
descending to author the attainment of true Buddhahood.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the eighth of the Eight Great Bodhisattvas—the Ancient Buddha Maitreya (Bodhisattva)—descends to compose this work. This marks the eighteenth session of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association, which bears the profound and weighty responsibility of carrying forward the sacred lineage of the Chongxin Sect.
This is also a teaching course that serves as a powerful encouragement for all the celestial Buddhas and teachers of the Chongxin Sect, as well as for all its students and disciples. Therefore, everyone must diligently uphold and support it, as this will contribute to the future merits of the Chongxin Sect. Otherwise, if one were to enter the Wuji Dadao Academy again in the future to advance their studies, it would indicate that their merits are rather insufficient.
Thus, there is no merit to speak of! This is due to the necessity of your current position within the Chongxin Sect lineage. If you were to depart from the Chongxin Sect lineage and compare the two, you would then understand: Chongxin offers an exceptionally vast educational curriculum. You need not devote yourself entirely now; you may wait until the future to enter the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" for further advancement and enrollment. Is that not preferable?
Go and contemplate on your own! Strive diligently, for tomorrow is another Saturday, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. It is also the time for the Zen master’s teachings. I have heard that the Zen master originally had only 36 lessons, but now there may be more than 48 (out of a total of 72) instructional sessions. You all must come and diligently uncover these treasures. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
##Nanping Daoji Ancient Buddha

The ancient Buddha's virtue nourishes and fosters all sentient beings.
The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Nineteenth Chapter: Buddhism Practices Compassion and Embraces the Great Vehicle
The Great Dao and Its Five Teachings—The Compassion of Buddhism
In the human world, sentient beings, through their pursuit of survival, come to understand the necessity of sustaining life and the reality of faith. These two aspects are interdependent: one tangible, the other intangible, interconnected in a continuous chain. Human beings often regard religious faith as the foremost priority, yet for the general populace, the foremost priority is the sustenance of life.
This kind of shift in perspective varies among individuals in the human world. If compassion is considered the essence in Buddhism, it also represents the transition from the Buddhist ideal of transcending worldly affairs to engaging with them, as well as the ability to free oneself from the contamination of the mundane world. Such conditions can serve as a foundation for religious faith and the nourishment of life, both of which are mutually necessary. At the same time, they provide humanity with diverse religious beliefs to rely upon and return to.
This is to say, in terms of religious faith as understood in the human world: the teachings passed down by Buddhism over 2,500 years can be observed as a relatively transcendent and widely accessible tradition. Thus, the various Buddhist scriptures, authored by different sages and buddhas, present the paths to enlightenment achieved in the past as models for spiritual practice in the human realm.
The process of enlightenment achieved by various Buddhas and saints provides humanity with the possibility of following past cultivation methods, specifically tailored to different sutras. These teachings, transmitted across different times and spaces, offer profound insights that can be comprehended within the human realm. For the manifestations of Buddhism, they serve a beneficial and functional role.
In the human world, the faith in Buddhism is relatively steadfast.
Then there will be the past footsteps of all heavenly sages and buddhas, descending to transform among human beings, serving as an experiential process of evolution and elevation. This condition of causes and circumstances can be understood as follows: faith in Buddhism also more truthfully interprets various sutras, and this interpretation of the sutras is accomplished through the causes and circumstances of time and space in the past.
This is an approach to the past, as it rightly should be; it also provides a correct direction for one's future cultivation journey, ensuring it does not deviate from the guidelines set by the sacred Buddhas and teachers. This is essential for the evolution of human beings into disciples of Buddhist faith, achieved through various stages of transcending the mundane, engaging with the world, and navigating worldly existence.
For me, how should I immerse myself in religious faith? Such conditions of karma and circumstance are by no means something that ordinary individuals can comprehend. This is especially true in Buddhism, where "illuminating the mind, seeing one’s true nature, attaining enlightenment, and realizing the fruit" are regarded as the highest levels of spiritual attainment—goals pursued by all sentient beings, serving as the conditions for upward growth.
To put it in words, in the current era, how many sentient beings can truly comprehend how to evolve within the framework of what Buddhism once referred to as "illuminating the mind and seeing one's true nature, attaining enlightenment and realizing the fruit"? For oneself, it is possible to progress through various scriptures, and only then can one genuinely advance upward!
Buddhism embodies compassion and mercy towards the hearts and souls of all sentient beings.
It can be understood that through continuous growth and elevation, one may realize: Buddhist scriptures are both vast and practical, offering a higher-level educational curriculum for all spiritual practices in the human world. Sentient beings also tend to have a favorable impression and aspiration toward the principles and truths of Buddhism.
Furthermore, regarding Buddhist monks and nuns, in terms of precepts, they possess relatively formal conditions to rely upon and uphold. After entering the religious life, their behavior and conduct become quite distinct from that of ordinary human beings. For Buddhist monks and nuns, this manifests as meticulous and disciplined actions.
Fearful of transgressing the precepts and regulations, this faith in the monastic disciplines for bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, which consist of 250 and 500 rules respectively, serves as a model for conduct in the human world. It genuinely provides sentient beings with a virtuous framework of discipline, which is truly commendable!
The Great Dao's Five Teachings – In the essence of Buddhist compassion, Buddhism takes compassion as a fundamental principle, truthfully addressing the right of all living beings in the world to survive. This is upheld through the Great Dao's Five Teachings, serving as an exemplary model for Buddhist scriptures. It faithfully disseminates this guiding principle, setting a standard for humanity.
Buddhist teachings are comparatively more grounded in practice.
Over the past 2,500 years, it has served as a benchmark: a system of precepts and guidelines that are upright, orthodox, and well-regulated, grounded in compassion. Moreover, it grants all living beings in the world, regardless of race or species, the right to a dignified space for existence. These teachings and precepts from the past 2,500 years not only match but in many ways surpass those of other religions.
It can serve as a support in the human world, providing a framework of righteous elevation for my entry into religious faith. It also shapes the cultivation methods for Buddhist monks and nuns. In today's era, there are even more contemporary educational courses, which directly disseminate all teachings through media.
This is because, in the current era of the human world, Buddhism possesses advantages comparable to those of other religions. In this present age, all that exists in the human realm tends to give rise to a sense of spiritual unease among sentient beings. Consequently, it becomes necessary to rely on the teachings and guidance of religion to sustain and protect humanity.
The "Law of Cause and Effect Across Three Lifetimes" in Buddhism serves to model the principle of "cause and effect" in the human world for all people to understand. It offers a particularly impactful teaching for humanity, allowing one to realize that the Buddhist doctrine of cause and effect provides a virtuous and exemplary model for human conduct.
The boundless compassion and shared empathy of Buddhism.
Thus, the favorable impression of Buddhism is also truthfully advanced through the orientation of existence. This means that, according to the standards of all practices in the human world, Buddhist monks and nuns must leave their families to cultivate themselves. However, because of the practices undertaken by monks and nuns, ordinary human beings are unable to fully embrace faith in its entirety.
However, in the present era, the use of modern media for the dissemination of Buddhist teachings has indeed created favorable conditions. For future inheritors, it has also truly clarified the ways of practicing Buddhist faith, surpassing the opportunities available in past times. Thus, in the exploration of Buddhist scriptures, one will gain different insights.
How can it be that whenever the Buddha-nature is manifested in the human world, the demonic nature also emerges simultaneously? Such teachings are rarely mentioned in Buddhism. For all sentient beings, this is a state of "the dual integration of Buddha and demon," a mutual causality that even Buddhism has not expounded upon.
How can one develop a sound immunity without drawing from the experiences of past sages and buddhas? This is where Buddhist "compassion" falls short, and where the classical teachings of Buddhism find it most difficult to provide an explanation. It is not that the enlightened teachers of the past failed to expound on this, but rather that the conditions of time and space prevented its revelation. This has become one of the most regrettable matters in the present era. Originally, religious faith should have brought about genuine, virtuous transcendence and elevation.
Buddhism does not speak of a demonic nature; the growth of Buddha-nature arises from the inherent nature itself.
Comprehend the great mysteries within, and understand how to ascend in practice.
Compassion is the essence of Buddhism,  
A true model for humanity as it truly exists.
Manifesting the vastness of the cosmos,  
Different Buddhas and sages each uphold their realms.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it expounds and reveals most of the teachings found in Buddhist scriptures. However, the one insufficient condition is that it does not analyze how to confront the manifestation of demonic nature or how to possess innate immunity against it. For the most part, it merely suggests returning in the next life to offer protection once more—truly a matter of helplessness!
All religious faiths in the human world must strive for upward growth rather than downward decline, so as not to waste the precious opportunity of being born as a human. This is absolutely true and reflects a sense of responsibility for one's own life in this world! I am grateful to all the deities and individuals of Chongxin for their companionship in this work. I have troubled the Chongxin lineage for some time, and now it is time to bid farewell.
## Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
The Immortal Maiden of the Wuji Principle ascends,  
Gathering together with the revered deities and people of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,
As we truthfully analyze the formation of Buddhism.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, has descended to compose the nineteenth installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Society. This installment presents the "Buddhist compassion" of the Five Religions of the Great Tao, offering the first detailed analysis to elucidate its profound and exceptional aspects.
What is most regrettable for Buddhism in this context is precisely that over the past 2,500 years, there has been no thorough analysis of the exposition regarding "the true suchness of demonic nature," nor has it been clarified how to provide genuine immunity for future Buddhist practitioners in their faith and practice. In an era where "demonic nature is manifest," how can one develop complete immunity to "demonic nature"?
This is rather regrettable. However, the Heavens have initiated the Chongxin Sect, which, through the mutual transformation of "Buddha and Demon," has compensated for the shortcomings of Buddhism. It also genuinely provides contemporary humanity with a true understanding of how "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" together sustain the survival orientation of human beings.
How can one achieve the elevation and transcendence of goodness? It must be truly understood! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can learn and grow together! Make good use of the knowledge and concepts you have acquired, and recognize the importance of the "mutual transformation between Buddha and Mara."
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue, Venerated by Humans and Devas
Homage to the descent of the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara,  
The lineage of Chongxin manifests auspiciousness.
The True Buddha of the Great Way in Twenty Chapters: The Sublime Propagation of Buddhist Scriptures.
Buddhist scriptures are relatively profound.
The propagation of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao allows for a clear understanding of various religious scriptures, emphasizing their necessity for the upward growth of humanity. Observing the classics of different religions, it becomes evident that each religion possesses its unique aspects and various exceptional qualities, all of which benefit and are cherished by sentient human beings.
Furthermore, in terms of the orientation of human existence: the classics of the five major religions each possess distinct and profound merits, guiding humanity in various regions and nations with great authenticity toward the refuge of faith. As for the descriptions found in the various religious scriptures, each religion offers its own support and foundation for the beliefs of different regions.
From a worldly perspective: Those who enter into religious faith can discern that each religion has its merits. When it comes to "mind and spirituality," the Buddhist scriptures are the most accessible for cultivating one's character and nurturing one's nature. These scriptures genuinely guide humanity in evolving the "mind and spirituality" of all sentient beings.
It also possesses the function of compassion, joy, and equanimity. If one seeks to "illuminate the mind, perceive the nature, attain enlightenment, and realize the fruit," such conditions and causes are akin to Buddhist scriptures, making it easier to grasp their inner meaning. Regarding Buddhist scriptures, they take "compassion, joy, and equanimity" as their fundamental framework, and thus genuinely transform the cruel mentality of the human world.
The Benefits of the Maha Prajna Paramita Sutra for Sentient Beings
Moreover, there is a function that compares to the merit of compassion for all beings, particularly in the aspect of pitying sentient beings, which surpasses that of other religions. Viewed through the lens of Buddhist compassion, the human world would see significant evolution and would not give rise to such cruel circumstances. These causal conditions play an exceptionally beneficial role in the Buddhist scriptures.
Furthermore, in Buddhist scriptures such as the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra" and other classics, there is a clear progression toward a function of elevation—namely, the removal of various limitations and obstacles from the past in human life. Among these, mantras such as the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra" (Heart Sutra) and the "Great Compassion Mantra" are particularly widely used in the human world.
An analysis of the "nature of the mind and the nature of demons" in human beings, although derived from and translated through the scriptures of the Western Regions, may not be entirely accurate. However, the effectiveness of transliteration ensures its full utility. Thus, it becomes clear that humanity is inclined toward the faith of Buddhism.
Regarding the Chongxin Sect lineage, drawing upon the essential essence of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra," it dissects the original meaning of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra" as revealed in the "Great Dao Series Celestial Texts." This explains why the Heavens chose to reference the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra" to elucidate the overall essence of the "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra."
Prajna wisdom is in use every day.
That is to elevate the "mind and spirituality" of all human beings. In this regard, Buddhism provides a more detailed exposition, highlighting the necessity of uplifting through the scriptures of the human world. It also truthfully analyzes the "causes of the eight consciousnesses," which are functions that all human beings utilize at every moment and in every instant.
This is the primary reason why the heavens have chosen the "Mahaprajnaparamita Hridaya Sutra" (Heart Sutra) for the dissemination of the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra" (Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra). Therefore, in response to the essential practices required in the human world of the present era, it truthfully elucidates the essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," manifesting the functional nature of the heart and mind of all sentient beings.
That will suffice. Regarding the distinction between "Buddha-nature as True Suchness" and "Demonic-nature as True Suchness," it must be understood that every human being in the mortal world, including all living beings, possesses both "Buddha-nature and Demonic-nature." Thus, past Buddhist scriptures only spoke of Buddha-nature, not Demonic-nature! Herein lies the divine revelation bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage by the Heavenly Realm.
This is precisely the primary function in the human realm: "the demonic nature of true suchness"! It allows sentient beings to discern that, for me in the present moment, it is precisely through the manifestation of this "demonic nature of true suchness" that all upwardly growing "seeds of Buddha-nature" are obstructed! This is what all sentient beings in the human realm rely upon, with all living creatures as their support.
Buddhist scriptures are rather direct in pointing to the human heart.
In your present state, how should you ascend, grow, and transcend? Rather than waiting until the next life to begin applying the "true suchness of Buddha-nature"! This is the compassionate grace of the heavenly deities and enlightened teachers, who guide us toward upward growth through the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra* and other religious scriptures, emphasizing the necessity of such progression.
The reason why human beings fail to grow lies in the multitude of excuses and justifications they harbor! Consequently, they lack the determination to rectify and transform their shortcomings, deficiencies, and mistakes. Moreover, what could elevate and transcend their present lifetime is merely limited to understanding the profound teachings of Buddhist scriptures.
Moreover, it cannot be truly implemented in daily life. Therefore, in every moment and circumstance within the human world, there arise the four functional roles of "initiating the mind, stirring thoughts, entering consciousness, and storing impressions." These serve as essential principles that every human being, regardless of religious belief, must apply, and which are in constant use at all times.
Buddhism: The New Consciousness-Only Doctrine Spreads Among Sentient Beings
It is truly for me: how, in this lifetime, can one ascend, grow, elevate, and transcend! Moreover, applying the specialized principles of "New Consciousness-Only" through Buddhist scriptures is the true path! Otherwise, how can sentient beings have the virtuous conditions to refine and examine themselves at every moment, for my sake!
My actions and deeds are driven by the necessity to foster the upward growth of goodness. Thus, although humanity shares a common essence as beings, our actions and deeds differ according to each individual's function and role. This reflects the journey of the human world toward a more authentic transcendence and return to origin. Such conditions and causes are grounded in the principles of "New Consciousness-Only Philosophy."
Once there is a lifetime in which one can achieve it, for all the functions and roles of my present life, it is a virtuous elevation and transcendence, which will surely reduce the "thirty to fifty years" of ignorant groping through time and space. This is a direct upward growth in the human world, allowing the fundamental functions of "the three teachings sharing the same origin and the five religions sharing the same source" to manifest and benefit my present life. This is the true path!
The scriptures of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao:  
Buddhism’s Consciousness-Only is of the primordial origin.
Taking the New Consciousness-Only School as the foundation, truthfully transcend and return to the origin.
Each of the five teachings possesses its own unique excellence; the vast cosmos and the world are true and real.
Choosing the faith of any religion is like betting on the right treasure to achieve return and success.
This verse is shared as mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings! In this life, how can one achieve transcendence and return within a single lifetime? This is not only a matter of personal choice but also requires one's own diligent efforts to attain the efficacy and merit of accomplishment! Thank you all for accompanying me in this work. I, your teacher, also express my gratitude to everyone. Farewell!
## Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva of the Void
The Immortal Maiden of Boundless Virtue ascends,  
Gathering with all devoted and virtuous disciples.
May all be auspicious and well,  
As the Qingming season arrives for honoring ancestors.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, one of the presiding immortals and Buddhas of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Association of our lineage—the Ancient Buddha Namas Dipankara—has descended to compose this work. This is the twentieth installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Association, analyzing the reasons why Buddhist scriptures are comparatively more sublime.
It is based on the essence of the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra," distilled into the comprehensive framework of the "Heart Sutra," thereby creating the unique "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" unparalleled by any ordinary religion. This required the decree of Heaven to be bestowed upon the human realm, as well as the support of the celestial immortals and buddhas.
And through the mercy of Heaven, we are able to have such a true and remarkable classic as the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," which must be passed down for over a thousand years, allowing everyone in this lifetime to achieve transcendence and return. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##The Second Sage, Master Meng
The Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji Descends, Bringing Auspicious Omens to the Chongxin Lineage.
The True Buddha of the Great Way, Chapter Twenty-One: The Great Way Proclaims the Virtues of the Five Teachings.
The principle of non-action is the universal law of heaven and earth.
When sentient beings enter the human world, various manifestations arise. In the demands of daily life, survival becomes the ultimate reliance. If such beings embrace Daoist beliefs, they take "non-action" as their guiding principle. Meanwhile, the human world presents diverse orientations for existence, with faith serving as the primary spiritual foundation.
It can be said: Regarding the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, they are rooted in the Daoist principle of non-action. This function is carried out within the human world, allowing for natural existence in every moment of time, space, and circumstance. If daily life is taken as the foundation, such an approach to daily life is essential, with nurturing life as the primary cause and condition.
This causal condition imposes different requirements on sentient beings, particularly regarding the necessities for sustaining life, which are fundamentally centered on human beings. However, when guided by religious faith, the sustenance of daily life must take on a different form, making the nourishment of everyday existence an essential pursuit.
When survival demands it, why is it that humanity cannot draw upon the "true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth"? It is because humans pursue their own goals, leading to the conclusion: "This should not be the case for me!" However, if one follows the non-action of the Dao, it is not so; it is through the efforts of humanity that goals are achieved.
All sentient beings arise from conditioned actions.
The non-action of the Dao is grounded in the routines of daily life. In this way, much of daily existence is fundamentally centered on humanity and all living beings. This necessity of daily life gives rise to human pursuits and aspirations. Thus, from the perspective of the "non-action of the Dao," humanity and all beings must immerse themselves in the "true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth."
It presents how to achieve a spirit of non-action in daily life. Therefore, livelihood is necessary, but when viewed through the lens of livelihood, different conditions and causes come into play. Human beings often prioritize livelihood as the primary condition. In light of this, it is essential to understand how the Daoist teaching of non-action addresses such a primary condition.
How does it further evolve into a form of "non-action"? In truth, although human beings aim at nurturing life, this nurturing can also achieve the Daoist state of non-action. In my daily life, this manifests as an understanding of "the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth"—a realization that arises naturally, without any deliberate purpose.
If sentient beings lack this kind of understanding, they will struggle to genuinely accumulate merits toward the goal of "hidden virtue." This means they cannot fully embody the practice of "non-action" (wuwei), but instead act through "deliberate action" (youwei). Can humanity truly attain the Dao's non-action? It is merely a matter of practicing through a certain perspective!
It is exceedingly difficult for sentient beings to have faith in non-action.
Human beings are unable to embody the "non-action of the Dao," which is why they arise in different times and spaces, repeatedly cycling through the heavens and earth. In truth, the genuine non-action of the Dao is both a concept and a practice. Can this be understood by sentient beings? It can indeed be applied!
Rather than altering it overnight, sentient beings can practice and cultivate. For me, there should be a non-action in creation, which is to understand that practice manifests "non-action." In my daily life, it is based on nourishing life, without fixing the goal in a single "direction."
This kind of understanding can be discerned: regarding the non-action of the Dao, it can be practiced in daily life, rather than being preoccupied with mere survival each day. This approach to daily life makes it difficult to progress and elevate oneself. Such discernment can be thoroughly comprehended in the human world, placing the nourishment of life within the practice of non-action, rather than in deliberate and contrived efforts.
One can truly elevate the human world by aligning with the "non-action of the Dao," using it as an enhancing condition for self-transcendence. Through the "true meaning of heaven and earth's operation," which is also the natural orientation for human existence, one may discern: How, then, can I elevate the actions within the human world to a higher level?
The inaction of the Dao accomplishes all beings.
Achieved through the "non-action of the Dao," which is the natural "following of one's inherent nature." This kind of "following of one's inherent nature" is something that every human being can naturally possess, much like what Buddhism teaches: all human beings inherently possess Buddha-nature. However, when examining the classics from ancient times to the present, it is evident that this teaching—that all human beings are endowed with Buddha-nature—has been consistently upheld.
At that time, it was not revealed that sentient beings could also manifest "demonic nature." In the present era, the demonic nature applied to humanity has even surpassed the Buddha-nature. Consequently, the human world has been unable to achieve a more genuine and upward transcendence. Regarding the non-action of the Dao, it can enable sentient beings to understand the necessities of the human world.
Not only is there a path of upward growth that can lead one to transcendence beyond the "Bodhisattva fruition," but when we observe the world today, we see that human society operates largely through "demonic nature." Thus, to aspire to the "Way of Non-Action" is something that most human beings likely cannot comprehend. In daily life, how then should one settle the mind and abide in the practice of non-action?
Rather than merely engaging in active endeavors, human beings can discern the mutual support between "non-action and action." Within this understanding of "non-action," one can genuinely progress upward to achieve "true non-action." That is, the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage have consistently taught everyone to use "true non-action" as a means to ascend and transcend.
The Neo-Consciousness-Only theory ascends in its principles.
It is precisely through the present understanding of the Buddhist doctrine of "New Consciousness-Only" that one can genuinely discern how each day of my life is anchored in the practice of "non-action" (wuwei), rather than being confined merely to the realm of "deliberate action" (youwei).
This specialized mastery of the "New Consciousness-Only doctrine" is precisely why the Lineage of the Revered Heart can impart new theories. It has already distilled the essence of the Buddhist "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra" into the comprehensive core of the "Heart Sutra," enabling humanity to apply the "purification" of the eight consciousnesses in daily life, thereby "tranquilizing" and "evolving" the principles of Consciousness-Only doctrine.
These three can be applied mutually, evolving "the non-action of the Dao" into a more authentic "true non-action." This is precisely about elevating and transcending the worldly realm! Only the Chongxin Sect has initiated this concept, aiming to integrate the five major teachings, enabling everyone to benefit and grow through lifelong cultivation.
Through understanding the essence of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, one can significantly reduce the time spent in the darkness of aimless exploration—at the very least, saving "30 to 50 years" of one's life. All forms of "rigid attachment" can then be properly addressed within a single lifetime, allowing for genuine growth based on the essence of the Five Teachings. Can everyone comprehend and apply this?
The Non-action of the Five Teachings of the Great Way,  
All human existence is characterized by action.
If one can truly comprehend the essence of non-action,  
This life is certain to ascend and pursue higher realms.
The sustenance of daily life  
Is all the mutual support among sentient beings.
Understanding that every day is for use  
One can surely transcend the mundane life.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it elucidates the non-action of the Dao through the five teachings of the Great Dao. The manifestations in daily life arise precisely from one's own actions and deeds, rather than from constantly hoping to achieve them in the next lifetime. If one cannot attain realization in the present moment, how can they expect to achieve it in the next life? It is hardly possible!
I say to you again: There is no longer such a divine opportunity and favorable affinity! Everyone has worked hard—bring in the fruits and melons to be blessed! Look at all of you; strive diligently this year, and do not let yourselves miss the chance to achieve fulfillment. This is the non-action you should practice this year. Very well! I have troubled the Chongxin lineage for some time now. Farewell, everyone!
## Lady of the Void, Bestower of Life
Wuji is created for ascension;  
Today at the Central Altar, gods and humans gather.
The marshal descends to encourage the students, each with different interests to achieve.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji descends to compose the teachings. In this twenty-first session of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion, the non-action of the Dao in the human world is analyzed. Together with the previous and following sessions, we continue to examine these aspects mutually, offering clarity for all to understand.
Regarding the essence of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, it is through elevating the Chongxin lineage to integrate the Five Teachings that one can genuinely progress upward, transcend, and truly understand how I ought to grow—this is the right path! Tomorrow is Wednesday again; all guidance and salvation will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can learn and grow together! Let us strive diligently. Farewell for now!
##The Great Sage and Teacher, Confucius
Namo, all beings mindful of the Tathagata;  
The supreme virtue of humans and gods, the great Way abides.
The Ancient Buddha descends to compose the True Buddha Volume,  
The Way of Non-Action is truly and authentically arranged.
The practice of the Dao must be truly effortless.
In the human world, there exists a reliance on religious faith. Regarding the conditions for nurturing life and the orientation of survival, this must be upheld by all human beings. It is through "acting with purpose" that one can progress toward the goal of "achieving meaningful action." Thus, this constitutes the fundamental condition for upholding principles in the human world, and it also stems from the intention of "achieving meaningful action."
How then can we transcend the orientation toward action? Human beings are fundamentally oriented toward nurturing life. Without the great path of religion to elucidate it, how could there be the concept of the Way's non-action? Therefore, it is precisely because the Way's non-action exists in the human world that evolution for humanity progresses upward.
Rather than merely revolving in cycles of rebirth, this perspective is based on the "true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth." Through this "true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth," human beings can achieve a state of action through non-action, thereby ascending and transcending in terms of "mind, spirit, and body."
Within this, the "mind, spirit, and body" can be distinguished. For human beings, this means progressing upward to transcendence—a teaching unique to the Chongxin lineage. Other religions merely adhere to non-action; how, then, can they attain it? Human beings are merely caught in the necessity of sustaining life.
The Inaction of the Dao—Practicing True Inaction
However, none can discern that in daily life, one can also evolve through actions to elevate the state of being. All human beings practice in this manner and thus achieve their goals. Yet, in the process of attaining these objectives, there is no further growth or transcendence beyond them. Consequently, humanity encounters a stagnation that halts progress.
In fact, how can sentient human beings apply the concept of "non-action" within the framework of "action-oriented" goals, and how can the concept of "non-action" be attained? It can be understood as follows: each and every human being must first possess a goal of "action" before they can enter the realm created by "non-action."
In this process, it begins with the intention of "taking action." However, after a period of time—as if one has grown accustomed to a certain state over a long duration—the goal of this matter becomes dulled. At this point, "taking action" has already transitioned into "non-action." In essence, this concept is merely a form of numbness brought about by the passage of time.
Regarding one's actions, there is no longer a demand to reach the goal. This evolution of thought is absolutely true for the "action" within "taking action." Over a long period of time, this leads to numbness, and one may even fail to achieve past objectives. This condition is analogous to that of the solar system and its celestial bodies.
Just as parents raise their children
It is much like parents caring for their children: initially driven by goals and purposes, but as time passes, do those goals and purposes remain? The secret lies in a kind of "universal love" that emerges, which applies equally to parents and the celestial bodies of the day-star system. In the end, it becomes simply a matter of duty.
Regarding "universal love," there exists a function of non-action. However, when this state of "non-action" persists for too long, it also becomes an exercise of duty, responsibility, and rights. All that was originally intended to be cared for transforms into the formless and the inactive, solely for the necessity of the present moment, thus enacting non-action.
It is this ability that facilitates the function of the sun and stars, spreading their radiance across the entire galaxy. Just as parents care for their children, and akin to the true essence of the celestial and terrestrial cycles, there is fundamentally no concept of deliberate intention. Over time, this evolves into a genuine orientation of non-action.
The Non-Action of the Dao: This is the goal upheld by Daoism! Human beings merely engage in action-oriented practices. Thus, when such goal-oriented action persists over time, it transforms into a form of duty, obligation, and entitlement. At this point, it becomes necessary to dissolve the goal and turn it into one's inherent responsibility. If humanity continues in this manner for long, what will become of it?
Heaven and Earth are truly without action—yet in their operation lies the true meaning.
There emerges a manifestation of non-action. Does this represent a further elevation and transcendence for humanity and all sentient beings? This is precisely the "true non-action" taught by the Chongxin lineage. Why, then, is "true non-action" necessary? In truth, humanity and all sentient beings merely engage in "action" after having "acted with purpose"!
This is based on the cyclical chain of worldly affairs. If there were no such chain, how could there be any action or inaction? It would be impossible! At this point, within the realm of action, evolution proceeds through the practice of non-action, which fundamentally resides in the eighth consciousness, devoid of any conceptual thought. This is the condition by which worldly practice is carried out.
Advancing towards a higher form of "true non-action," such conditions and causes are unique to the lineage of the Heart Sect, which unfolds within non-action to evolve into an even more transcendent true non-action. Human beings practice this in their immediate state, without any stored memory, without any purpose, and without any deficiency or lack.
This is how sentient beings evolve to reflect the Buddhist concept of the "threefold purity of action" through mutual illumination. It also truthfully addresses the function of one's own practice as a natural and spontaneous way of being. In the human world, this transforms "non-action" into the practice of "true non-action," achieved through one's own present-moment evolution.
Absolutely without any contrivance
I have no need for any act of reflection, as this kind of reflection is not something the general populace can comprehend. One must genuinely enter into religious faith, manifesting through non-action, to truly engage in the practice of authentic non-action. It is akin to being taught by immortal Buddhas and teachers, all aimed at elevating everyone.
However, from the perspective of the celestial and Buddhist teachers, there is no distinction of right or wrong, correct or mistaken, nor any notion that "I am your teacher, and you must show me utmost reverence." Thus, it becomes clear that the teachings of the celestial and Buddhist masters in wuwei (non-action) are precisely conveyed from their elevated standpoint to guide all, embodying the true function of genuine wuwei.
Only then will there be reality, as it elevates and nurtures the growth of all students and followers. Just as there must be "top scholars among teachers," there must also be "top scholars among students." Yet, one wonders whether everyone can meet such conditions. Within this lies a genuine manifestation of effortless action, which truly helps oneself and others alike, enabling all to rise and transcend together.
The genuine non-action that is essential in the human world.
To truly embody the practice of genuine non-action, it is essential to carry this "concept of non-action" into human society, rather than merely being driven by the routines of daily life—such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and other basic needs. Otherwise, one may only leave behind a lineage of descendants who, after a few decades, will have no understanding or recognition of who this ancestor truly was.
Thus, should sentient beings elevate themselves through a process of "action with intention," so as to evolve from "intentional action" into the practice of "non-action"? Over a longer period, even the eighth consciousness would hold no memory of it. This is the true "non-action" — genuine non-action — advancing toward the vaster realms of the cosmic heavens.
One can then roam freely within the cosmic expanse, evolving into a more transcendent elevation—this is the true path! It is through "non-action" that one evolves into "true non-action" and grows. Such a state can indeed be attained in the human world, and it is a function that every human being can practice. It merely depends on whether one chooses to embrace it or not!
The non-action of the Dao gives rise to manifestation,  
As sentient beings in the human realm are bound to one another.
To act in order to elevate oneself,  
To evolve through deeds in the human realm.
The non-action of the Dao is its essence,  
While human religions reflect upon themselves.
Mutual growth must transcend, just as there is true interdependence.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; by practicing the "non-action" of the Dao within the intention of "true non-action," one may realize: this is the expertise of the revered teachers and immortals of the Chongxin lineage, guiding all disciples and followers. It is essential for all to grow and transcend together, ascending to return and surpass; thank you for your efforts, farewell!
##Void Manjushri Bodhisattva
The Void bestows the fruit of enlightenment,  
Mahasthamaprapta ascends in wisdom.
Today, the Bodhisattva gathers with divine beings;  
May all hold fast to auspiciousness, fortune, and wisdom.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and students of the Institute, good evening! Today, the true leader of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha of Supreme Virtue in the Human and Celestial Realms, has personally descended to compose the twenty-second installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion series, analyzing the non-action of the Tao: the practice of "true non-action." This will help everyone understand and personally realize the profound meaning within!
For me: how should one establish a foundation without the emergence of a mindset! Only then can there be virtuous growth. Such causal conditions are rarely analyzed in the human world, and they are also a necessary catalyst for the growth of the Chongxin Sect's teachings and its disciples. Good! Tomorrow is Saturday again, all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Tomorrow evening is the time for the Zen Master's class—let us all come together to dig for treasures! Thank you for your hard work, and farewell!
##Lord Jehovah
Confucianism was passed down in the Central Plains,  
and the Second Sage, Master Mencius, was born to expound its teachings.
The True Buddha of the Great Way, Chapter Twenty-Three: The Origins of the Integration of the Five Teachings
Benevolence of Confucianism Extends Throughout the World
The five major religions converge in the heavenly realm, yet from the perspective of the human world, they manifest as distinct religious sects. Religious faith ultimately aims for a harmonious world, which aligns with the fundamental spirit of Confucianism. This spirit evolves to foster mutual integration among all sentient beings with compassion. In the context of human society, each religion possesses its own unique and profound causes and conditions.
There may also be various shortcomings. Therefore, if there could be a religious belief that integrates the fundamental spirits of the five major religions, addressing all human beings in the twenty-first century, it would allow for a clear understanding of the essence of each religion and genuinely merge the five teachings, providing a spiritual refuge for all sentient beings.
From this perspective, it can be observed that in the present era, this divine integration is gradually descending into the human world. Its purpose is to guide sentient beings into a higher level of faith, and it can also be understood that the fundamental beliefs of all religions are distinguished by various principles, which serve as benchmarks for the faiths of the five major traditions.
It is to enable all human beings, through the integration with the Heavenly Will, to achieve a broader fusion in the religious beliefs of sentient beings in the human world. This is a fundamental condition that humanity will inevitably attain in the future, truthfully elevating and transcending the beliefs of the five major religions: Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
The Compassion of Confucianism in the Great Dao's Five Teachings
Thus, with greater truthfulness, there arises a more practical necessity for the upward growth of religious faith. This kind of integration of religions in the human world is essential, as it mutually supports various conditions of karma and also extends the vast virtuous grace of Heaven to the Confucian Sacred Teaching—the Great Way True Buddha Heart School.
The "Dadao Series Celestial Books" were composed and disseminated into the human world. This initiation of religious integration has provided a more favorable opportunity to genuinely draw upon the essence of each religion, adopting its strengths and discarding its shortcomings. In doing so, it greatly interconnects the religious faiths of humanity, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
Within the limitations of the past 2,500 years, such conditions of causality have meant for humanity: the potential for goodness to rise and ascend beyond, transcending all boundaries. This applies to all—the Five Teachings of the Great Way—as they mutually respond to the vision of a harmonious world, guiding humanity toward greater advancement and reducing religious strife.
Therefore, the core tenet of Confucianism is to establish the "Great Unity" chapter from the *Book of Rites* as the fundamental principle for engaging with the world. This approach to human society, characterized by the mindset of "not only caring for one's own parents and children," fosters greater harmony and genuinely elevates human existence to a more sublime level of cultivation.
The Confucian doctrine of the Golden Mean benefits all living beings.
This is also a practice of descending teachings through the Western European world. If viewed from the perspective of the Central Plains world: after millennia of turbulence, even in the present era, we still inhabit an unsettled living environment. Therefore, can humanity learn from the exemplary conduct of Western European nations, where "doors are left unlocked at night and lost items are not picked up on the road"?
For all those who are "widowed, orphaned, childless, disabled, or ill, each has a place to be cared for." This is the Confucian principle put into practice, providing a benevolent support system for all living beings and creating a space for virtuous conduct. Rooted in the human world, the Confucian faith is fundamentally based on a heart of compassion.
It is precisely because of this: upon hearing its cry, one cannot bear to eat its flesh. Such compassion exists in every person; it is only that one cannot always extend this "compassion" outward. Moreover, all living beings among humanity have the right to exist in this world, as do all creatures under heaven. This forms the foundation of all human actions from ancient times to the present.
And thus it is: all other beings are sacrificed to the temple of the human gut, forming a food chain. The sins of humanity have piled high as mountains, yet there is seldom any awakening to compassion for this. All other sentient beings also live in this world, and they do not encroach upon humanity. Why, then, do humans harbor such cruel acts of slaughter?
The great way of compassion in Confucianism and the five teachings.
Thus, many things have come into being that should not be killed but are killed, should not be eaten but are eaten. Influenced by the so-called "black resources" in the current era, other living beings are slaughtered. Although human beings tend to favor dazzling and luxurious items, imposing these upon humanity inevitably places a burden on both the "liver and kidneys."
This has led to the emergence of many tumors and cancers, all of which are related to the killing of living beings in past lives, which were then offered as sacrifices to the "temple of the five organs." Thus, in this life as a human, the karmic debts from past killings have not yet been fully resolved, giving rise to the lingering resentment and unwillingness of these myriad beings, which continues to persist into the present life.
Human beings were originally not afflicted with such diseases, but the decline in the functions of the "liver and kidneys" creates opportunities for these vengeful spirits to take advantage. Due to a lack of compassion for the killing karma committed in past lives, and an inability to change even after becoming aware of it, individuals in this lifetime will encounter the emergence of tumors and cancers.
Thus it can be discerned that the karma of killing created by one's present actions and past deeds, if not resolved, will lead to the decline of one's life force. This pertains to all human beings, and is precisely why in the present era, cancers and tumors among humanity continue to emerge without end.
The Great Learning and the Doctrine of the Mean Redirect Human Technology
It also involves the transformation of cancer cells, which has added limitations that were once curable but are now irreversible. Therefore, if one suffers from such cancer or tumors, it is essential to first repent for the killing karma from past lives, and then rely on the merit of supporting the printing and dedicating the merits to reverse the condition. This also depends on the mindset of human beings!
Can grievances be resolved? For humanity, this poses a considerable burden, and for lives that have evolved into human beings, is there a way to continue their existence? In this manner, most can be reconciled and dissolved through the healing of cancerous tumors, which is how the heavens absolve the sins committed by compassionate humanity.
To bring about a harmonious resolution; for the karma of killing created in past lives, it is also a truthful approach toward sentient beings. Whether one can truly become a healer depends on observing how vengeful spirits invade the body and determining the proper way to proceed! It will also truthfully enable both parties to achieve a complete reconciliation and the full dissolution of karmic debts, thereby reducing the loss of life.
The Great Way's Five Teachings: Confucianism teaches compassion; all humanity and living beings possess sentiment.
Karmic retribution from past lives manifests in the present;  
Repent for sins and practice virtue and benevolence.
The five teachings share a common origin—why dispute over them?  
Distinguishing yours from mine is truly hard to transcend.
It is my own deep attachments that bind me—why must I be tormented by the karmic hindrances?
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. It dissects the twenty-third chapter of the True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao, addressing the causes behind the formation of cancer and tumors in today’s era. It also explores whether all human beings can overcome this calamity and distinguish themselves. It is hoped that everyone may possess a healthy and sound body.
Regarding your future, there will be significant potential for improvement. Can there be a transformative resolution? This is aimed at enabling all sentient beings to achieve fulfillment through practice, thereby fostering positive changes in karma. It also allows both yin and yang to benefit mutually, transforming the disturbances of karmic obstacles. I appreciate your hard work and the time spent with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell for now, everyone!
## Universal Worthy Bodhisattva of the Void
The void's causes and conditions run deep and profound,  
The Goddess of Childbirth reveals its structure.
Today, I ascend the platform to meet all students; together we unite our hearts to undertake grand endeavors.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Confucian Sage Mencius has personally descended to compose the twenty-third installment of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion series, offering an initial analysis of the Confucian virtue of compassion within the Five Teachings of the Great Dao. In the next installment, we shall reverently welcome the descent of Confucius, the Sage of the Confucian tradition, to continue the work.
This also addresses how to dissolve the sins prevalent in the human world today, and how to elevate and transcend toward goodness! Over the past eighteen years, and now moving into the nineteenth year of effort, the Chongxin lineage hopes that everyone will join in promoting this cause. It is precisely through spreading the sublime celestial teachings and educating sentient human beings that we can reduce the occurrence of cancers and tumors.
Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. Regarding the Dadao series celestial texts, the 37th volume—Secret Methods of the Great Dao—will soon need to be submitted. It is essential to prepare everything in advance. I hope everyone will devote themselves to guiding others, so that the virtuous connections returning may strengthen the vital force of the Chongxin lineage! Well, thank you for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Jesus the Sage
The Great Sage and Supreme Teacher, Confucius, whose virtue and grace benefited all living beings with selfless devotion.
The True Buddha of the Great Dao in Twenty-Four Cycles  
The Compassion of Confucianism Embraced by All Beings
The Confucian virtue of compassion in the Five Teachings of the Great Dao.
When sentient beings enter the human world, there arises a necessity for mutual support in nurturing life. Relying on the human world as their foundation, they must also hold compassion for all other living beings. Only in this way can humanity avoid continuously creating numerous acts of killing. Reflecting on this, one may ask: why is it that human beings behave in such a manner?
In the past two decades or so, disasters have emerged one after another without end, leading humanity to perceive that "cancerous tumors are exceedingly difficult to cure." From this perspective, it can be observed that sentient beings in the human world have long been deeply entrenched in the karma of killing, which is also extremely challenging to dissolve. Consequently, human beings provoke the spirits of the deceased from other realms to seek retribution.
Over the past four thousand years, the accumulated karma of killing has created an irreversible space within the human world. This has manifested in the twenty-first century as a kind of civilizational affliction, which, in accordance with the conditions of cause and effect, has claimed the precious lives of some human beings whose karmic burden of killing was particularly heavy. Such circumstances are indeed profoundly lamentable and beyond easy remedy.
This causal condition is not merely confined to the present era; indeed, it can be traced back to its manifestation 2,500 years ago. As for the Confucian concept of "compassion," it is inherent in every person. To genuinely dissolve the limitations and obstacles within the human world, it is essential to recognize that, in this mortal realm, there are far too many species deemed suitable for consumption.
Benevolence in Confucianism brings compassion and nourishment to all living beings.
Why must one oppress the people to satisfy one's own desires, slaughtering these species that should not be killed? If the roles were reversed, and you, as a human being, were subjected to such acts of killing, would you willingly accept it? I believe no one in this vast world would be willing! This would trigger the release of toxin molecules from the adrenal glands of the slaughtered animals, stirring them upward.
For all human beings who consume the food of this world, the "calamity of the mouth" arises. When toxins accumulate in the human body and cannot be expelled—regardless of whether they were created in past lives—it inevitably leads to repeating the same mistakes in this present life, once again ingesting the toxic elements of other species.
Humans accumulate many harmful toxins, and if the body's "liver and kidney functions" are unable to eliminate such toxins, it results in the inability to expel these toxins no matter how much medication is taken. Therefore, in Confucian compassion, there are also precepts such as: not witnessing killing, not causing killing for one's own sake, and being unable to bear seeing death upon hearing the cries of living beings.
This is to say that in all human practices, for those who adhere to Confucian beliefs, there exists a sense of compassion. It is precisely this Confucian "compassion" toward sentient beings that serves to mitigate many calamities and invasions. As humanity evolves into the 21st century, it will inevitably face numerous afflictions caused by ignorance and toxic influences.
Human beings seek out and indulge in their preferred delicacies.
This is the bitter fruit borne by humanity from past lives and the present one, as observed thus: in the current era, human beings face numerous invasions of ignorant afflictions and tumors, which also inflict considerable harm upon sentient beings! Human factors can be overcome, but it is essential to understand: why have such afflictions and tumors arisen in my present life?
This pertains to the peoples of the vast world in the present era, particularly the nations of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, and even more so, such as the regions of Taiwan, the Divine Land, and the surrounding countries along the Pacific Rim. The more advanced the nations and their human populations, the greater the harm they inflict upon their own lives!
Moreover, each nation rarely traces back to the source. This issue is a great calamity and scourge for humanity and all sentient beings. It can be understood thus: whether sentient beings might be misled by greed for beauty and allure into consuming harmful substances? There are many dark resources that descend into the human world, precisely giving rise to numerous invisible disturbances and retributions.
Otherwise, why would humans suffer from such inexplicable afflictions? Most of these are the result of past lives or the present one, having accumulated much karmic retribution from killing. Humans simply do not understand: why do others not encounter such disturbances, while I alone face the retribution of unseen forces? Have humans truly discerned the origins and causes of these matters?
In the human world, cancer and tumors are related to the karma of killing.
The compassion of Confucianism: it means that benefiting and nurturing sentient beings can reduce the karma of killing, and also eliminate many cancers, tumors, and the illnesses of modern civilization. Moreover, for sentient beings, if there is no karma of killing from past lives and no invisible retribution in this life, then, relatively speaking, there will be no interference from karmic creditors or adversaries!
This is because the Confucian sense of compassion can reduce and dissolve many manifestations of ignorance and obstacles. Therefore, human beings can understand that both Confucian compassion and Buddhist mercy in the human world can significantly reduce the loss of life. As for the source of suffering and calamity among humanity, is there a clear and profound realization of it?
For human beings, there would be no prior causes that lead to retribution in this life. This can be understood in the human world: if one does not create prior causes, there will be no future consequences to be repaid! This is based on the understanding of all reductions in the human world and the insights from various religions of the past, allowing for a genuine realization of how to prevent problems before they arise.
How do one's own illnesses and misfortunes come into being? There is also a necessity for oneself to exercise "worldly wisdom and self-preservation." By reducing one's own "oral desires," one can create a favorable living environment, thereby becoming less susceptible to the interference of misfortunes. For humanity, this can reduce the invasion of cancers and tumors.
Life's hardships in this world are to be endured,  
For they are shaped by deeds from a former life.
The karma of killing is not seen in this life—do not think you alone possess it.
The Confucian compassion benefits all living beings; it is essential to refrain from seeking out evil.
Repent for past wrongs and errors, transform the causes of evil fruits and obstacles.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; the unwavering spirit of the Chongxin lineage is truly commendable and praiseworthy. It also represents a higher level of literary work by the saints and buddhas of the heavens, embodying the Confucian compassion that truly nourishes all sentient beings—this is the genuine truth! Thank you all for your hard work and for sparing time with the Chongxin lineage. Until we meet again!
##The Lineage's Primordial Queen Mother of the Void
The Bodhisattva Manjushri of Emptiness ascends,  
Together with all the divine beings of the Revered Heart assembly.
May all be auspicious and well;  
The Great Way, the True Buddha, is treasured thus.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Confucian Master, the Great Sage and Supreme Teacher, Confucius, has descended to compose the work. In the twenty-fourth session of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society, we will analyze the Confucian principles of compassion and benefiting all living beings, addressing cancers, tumors, and other illnesses afflicting humanity.
Most issues arise from interference by invisible forces, which are a prevalent problem in the current era. This is precisely the type of karmic obstacle that humans are most susceptible to being targeted by, as it is the easiest point of attack for invisible karmic creditors. Otherwise, if retribution were to take the form of something like a car accident, such bizarre and varied karmic consequences would inevitably have to be endured and repaid through one's own actions.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all ferry services will operate as usual. The spring book-offering ceremony for this year's "Dadao Secret Method" is gradually approaching. It is the right path for everyone to prepare in advance! The immortal and buddha teachers observe everyone's dedication and will help alleviate the interference of your karmic obstacles, bringing forth good causes and conditions. Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!
##Islamic Prophet Muhammad
Christian love spreads among mankind,  
The Lord Jehovah descends to bestow grace.
The Twenty-Fifth Chapter of the True Buddha Celestial Scripture: The Chapter of Love in the Five Great Religions
The universal love of Jesus benefits all living beings.
In the human world, different religious beliefs have emerged as spiritual anchors. This can be understood as a positive force for the elevation of goodness in society. With diverse faiths among peoples of various nations, these beliefs spread throughout humanity, offering support through different religious traditions. They serve to purify the spiritual nourishment for all human beings.
It can be said that the facilitation of human life's flourishing, followed by its upward growth through a virtuous spiritual function, lies in the mutual fulfillment among the world's five major religions today. This also involves genuinely applying the teachings of different religions to guide and nurture all sentient beings with compassion. Thus, the vast human world relies on and adheres to the foundation of virtuous growth.
Among the five major religions of the world, Christianity, with its doctrine of universal love, can be said to be the faith that has spread the most extensively and profoundly. In this regard, the Christian faith stands at the forefront of humanity, diligently rectifying the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors of the human world. It penetrates deep into mountainous regions and coastal areas alike, disseminating the gospel far and wide.
It is precisely through universal love for humanity that we extend targeted assistance and spiritual sustenance to those with less capability. At the same time, the food chain of human society is balanced as wealthier nations provide aid to more impoverished countries. Such conditions of cause and effect make it easier for all humanity to accept and embrace this support.
The Christian Doctrine of Universal Love in the Five Teachings of the Great Way
It is through the universal love for humanity and the spreading of the divine gospel that even those with little faith can be deeply drawn in. With weekly worship and prayer, the principle of "feeling the hunger of others as one's own, and the drowning of others as one's own" is put into practice. One can observe that among all the different religions in the world, the universal love embodied by Christianity is not only comparable but often surpasses that of others.
It is for all humanity that a truly effortless contribution is being made, in the name of the Heavenly Father. Every aspect is bestowed by the Heavenly Father, guiding the people of the world in their pursuit of survival toward a more advanced technological civilization. This, in turn, benefits humanity through medical technology.
It is the necessity of Christian universal love that, in the spirit of feeling others' hunger and suffering as one's own, emphasizes the need to "spread universal love" throughout the sentient world. At the same time, it enables all human beings, in their abundance and well-being, to exert their respective influence by offering aid to those nations that are relatively less developed.
Furthermore, due to the varying needs of people across different regions and ethnicities, there is often a great deal of charitable giving. This reflects how Western countries have effectively implemented religious beliefs on a global scale, which is also a manifestation of their prosperity. This implementation goes beyond merely providing for the food chain; it extends to all sentient beings in this manner.
The Gospel of Heaven and Earth: The Foundation of Christian Universal Love
The Christian virtue of universal love is truly essential for spreading the gospel of heaven and earth. Therefore, in light of Western affluence, it is necessary to disseminate the grace of the Heavenly Father, which is needed by many human beings to escape poverty. This can be observed in the overall poverty that has persisted in the Asia-Pacific region over the past fifty years or so.
Having traversed various underdeveloped nations, I have keenly observed the technological civilization of Western countries. This civilization, through the universal love of the Christian Heavenly Father, elevates and transforms all worldly poverty and destitution, enabling the divine message to spread across the human realm. It is promoted through a fraternal love that feels the hunger of others as one’s own and the drowning of others as one’s own.
Thus, the fundamental tenets of the Five Teachings of the Great Way were established, with Christianity regarded as the most concrete. Moreover, the teachings propagated by Christianity extend beyond the food chain, integrating even with the chain of affairs and extending to the currency chain of all human beings. In enlightening various underdeveloped nations, it has greatly advanced many aspects of favorable existence.
This is a reliance upon the human world, driven by a relatively high-tech civilization, which has gradually assimilated the mutual support among Western nations in terms of the way of life for humanity and all living beings. Therefore, in the current era, the survival orientation of sentient beings will be distinctly recognized at the beginning of the 21st century, as technological civilization advances upward.
Western nations believe in the universal love of Jesus.
This vision of the Western world, capable of contributing positively to the flourishing development of all nations across the globe, also truthfully propels past ignorance toward the growth of a high-tech civilization. Only then can a favorable living space be created, allowing the peoples of the sentient world to advance and prosper.
It will also truthfully guide the orientation of survival toward that of a developed nation. Observing the two worlds of "Taiwan and China," one can see various orientations of technological civilization, which will become important milestones driving the technological progress of humanity in the future, and can be explored in relation to the entire cosmic galaxy.
It is through the Five Elements that the complete spectrum of genetic energies is interconnected, and through the primordial qi of the Great Dao manifesting in the human world, it will inevitably surpass the current Western nations more authentically and advance further. In terms of the evolution of human technology, it will also dissolve the limitations and obstacles of various countries. This universal love of Christianity, without discrimination, will aid and deliver all nations.
All hope to genuinely surpass the technological and civilizational achievements of the past, with no reservations or stagnation. This embodies precisely the "universal love of Christianity," aspiring not only for self-improvement but also for the betterment of others. Such is the profound greatness of Christian "universal love," which all humanity must learn and extend to the world.
Christianity's universal love, coupled with technology, benefits both others and oneself appropriately.
Never withhold even the slightest,  
Let all share in the good fortune together.
Universal love for all people benefits all beings, thus the grace of the Heavenly Father is manifested.
The gospel spreads throughout the world,  
The merits of the West are true and real.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it is the first time to analyze the Christian concept of universal love, aiming at humanity. There will be more advanced technological civilizations and a more benevolent living space. This is to spread through 'Christianity,' for the well-being of the entire world, disseminating the gospel to the necessary nations and peoples.
This is based on the fundamental spirit of the Five Teachings, which is truly and faithfully obtained. It pertains to all the good causes and conditions for the well-being of humanity and all beings. When the orientation of existence is toward upward growth in time and space, there will inevitably be higher levels of dwelling spaces. I also thank everyone for accompanying this work and for the time spent with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell to all! Amen!
##The Sacred Emperor of the Two Scales of the Void
The Bodhisattva Samantabhadra of the Void ascends,  
gathering together the revered spirits and sages of the heart.
May all be auspicious and well,  
In the year Yiyi, may the teachings spread truthfully and truly.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, one of the Five Religions' founders, Lord Jehovah, has descended to compose this work. The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society: In the twenty-fifth session, the universal love of Christianity among the Five Religions of the Great Dao is analyzed, revealing its true functional benefits for the survival and well-being of humanity worldwide.
Compared to the past, it has grown far more. This orientation toward the survival of sentient beings must be presented with utmost truthfulness, benefiting all living beings and also targeting the spread of the Gospel in Christianity. It has brought salvation to the relatively underdeveloped nations of the world. Over the past fifty years or so, one can indeed observe a truly authentic and transformative effort in the dissemination of the Gospel, which is also a manifestation of the Heavenly Father's compassionate and boundless love!
Counselor Ye: What insights or dreams have you had? Regarding the matter of someone's passing, this has a relatively weak impact on your aura, and you have also seldom entered the inner hall to seek blessings and empowerment. This is a case of external spiritual interference. You may come to receive the nectar for a blessing, how about that? I hope you will often recite the Buddha Heart Mantra and also perform some acts of charity, dedicating the merits! The calligraphy offering ceremony is approaching soon; please make all preparations early. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Founder of Islam, the Prophet Muhammad
Christianity spreads among mankind,  
The virtue of Christ, with boundless love, is its foundation.
The sacred teachings spread the gospel to benefit all beings, proclaiming compassion widely in the human world.
Universal love for all humanity is the fundamental spirit of Christianity.
Sentient beings entering the human realm often possess many strengths, yet also many shortcomings. This condition allows human beings to cultivate their blessings, thereby creating better opportunities for their own survival. Thus, for humanity, the processes of having strengths and facing shortcomings each lead to different paths of development.
For ordinary human beings, who generally follow normal and common survival habits, this perspective on sentient beings with sufficiency or insufficiency is as follows: due to the survival orientation of emotional human beings, it is necessary to rely on the "currency chain" to integrate, enabling their survival process to be comparatively more abundant and well-provided.
For humanity as a whole, it is essential to receive assistance from others and to be sustained by the food chain. In some less developed nations, this means first ensuring one's own sufficiency before extending support to those in need. From a Buddhist perspective, such circumstances embody the practice of giving and joyful generosity, rooted in a compassionate mindset.
If viewed from the perspective of Christianity, it may not adopt the methods of almsgiving and joyful generosity, yet it still disseminates compassion. Thus, it cultivates a spirit of universal love toward humanity—a sense of "feeling the hunger of others as one’s own, and the drowning of others as one’s own." In other words, through the universal love of Christianity in the Western world, it spreads to an even broader realm.
Extensively spreading boundless love to benefit all people.
This allows other religions to engage in learning and emulation, and it is through such practices in the human world that acts of universal love for all people are carried out. It also spreads the Buddhist virtues of compassion, joy, and selfless giving, benefiting a greater number of human beings. This approach can be understood as follows: for Christianity in the Western world, it has achieved an even greater level of maturity.
Compared to the charitable acts of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, this is not only on par but even surpasses them. Could such compassion for humanity spread more broadly to other nations? Just as Western Christianity spreads the Gospel, benefiting both self and others, such an approach is also more easily accepted by the general populace.
Regarding the foundational conditions inherited by universal love, the universal love of Christianity also appeals to and is aspired to by the middle and upper classes of intellectuals. Moreover, in the weekly worship of God, there lies a virtuous process of learning. If all human beings engage in diverse acts of joyful giving, it will inspire everyone to follow suit.
This exemplifies a commendable model of universal love as inherited by the Western world. Over the past two millennia, compassionate humanity has observed that the Christian concept of universal love has been relatively more effective in spreading its faith across all peoples, representing a form of higher-level educational culture.
Middle and upper-class intellectuals tend to prefer Christianity.
For humanity at large, why is it that Christianity can draw the middle and upper classes into its faith? One can understand that in the nations of the Western world, there exists a rather solid foundation. This is due to the diverse orientations of religious beliefs across the globe, and how the "Gospel of Universal Love" is disseminated to all humankind.
Regarding its necessity for all beings, Christianity uses "prayer" as a means of expression. In supplications to the Heavenly Father, there exists a condition where one's sincere wishes can be fulfilled—at the very least, with a likelihood ranging from 65% to 75%. This method of "praying" and making requests to the Heavenly Father proves to be remarkably efficacious.
In contemporary other religions, such conditions of affinity and circumstances are absent. Moreover, the belief that faith in Jesus leads to eternal life corresponds to all forms of prayer in the human world. These methods, through which sentient beings pray to the Heavenly Father for blessings, wealth, food, and so on, are also capable of fulfilling their wishes in many such supplications.
Such a method as this enables human beings to enter into the pursuit of faith. Its function must be applied truthfully to one's own actions, with the necessity of avoiding the recurrence of mistakes in the future. From this, it can be observed that most human beings harbor benevolent aspirations and will have their wishes fulfilled in accordance with what humanity truly needs.
Extensively proclaim universal love to benefit all living beings.
This is to say that Christianity, when compared to other religions, surpasses rather than falls short. From the perspective of the affectionate human race in this world, there is a small portion of people who do not act according to the fulfillment of their own prayers. Often, after receiving what they desired, they forget the manner in which they once prayed and made requests to the Heavenly Father. Such is the forgetfulness of humankind!
This type of human beings, after one, two, or three attempts, will they be able to achieve a fulfilling transformation through renewal? This is precisely a matter of sincere and genuine effort, after which the Heavenly Father grants fulfillment, allowing human beings to obtain what they pray for. However, if after receiving their prayers, they forget the vows made in times of past suffering, what will become of them?
It will also ensure that such human beings will absolutely not have their wishes fulfilled in their fourth prayer and supplication! This is demonstrated through Christianity: for the prayers of sentient humans to be granted, it is necessary for them to first achieve significant gains. This is something that some of the more stubborn human beings often forget.
Regarding the conditions for supplication in the past, in this way, the Heavens would return to them according to the calamities that existed before they had even made their pleas. This is because the Heavenly Father first granted those who believe in Christianity the opportunity to receive affirmation. Thus, for those who are more stubborn and forgetful, even after repeated reminders.
Christian faith is more capable of fulfilling wishes.
All blessings of relatively good fortune, once gradually withdrawn, will revert to the individual to bear the corresponding misfortunes. This has already allowed you to "overdraw your blessings" in advance, thereby reducing subsequent suffering and torment to a relatively lesser degree. In the faith of Christianity, there is no one who cannot be forgiven, as this is revealed through the creed of belief in the Heavenly Father above.
Humanity's reliance on the necessity of Christianity's universal love for all people! Conversely, if the person who "prays" and makes supplications fails to repent after their wishes are fulfilled—even if the first three requests are granted—they will face greater suffering in the future. Yet this Christian faith holds no grudges, and there is no one beyond forgiveness.
On the contrary, once again guiding them into the embrace of faith, sincerely repenting for all past misdeeds, and repeatedly allowing this individual to start anew—this is precisely the Christian spirit of universal love. It is through such conditions and circumstances that even when sentient beings who possess emotions make mistakes, they will not face severe punishment.
Compared to other religions, Christianity offers considerable room for correction, as it aims to awaken the stubborn to begin anew, thereby achieving greater accomplishments. Consequently, its tolerance in faith surpasses that of other religions, a principle upheld by the framework of the Heavenly Father.
Alas, all in this world are bound by emotion,  
Yet faith in religion is not a certainty.
Christianity sets an example,  
Universal love can foster new beginnings in the world.
The Sage Jesus arrives today, aligning the celestial scriptures for the reverence of the heart.
The work dissects the concept of universal love—is there anything that cannot be forgiven?
This verse serves as a mutual encouragement among all compassionate human beings. It manifests the universal love most lacking in humanity—that there is no one beyond forgiveness—and demonstrates faith in every nation. Thus, we may observe: how noble indeed is the universal love of Christianity! It also enables some of the more advanced human beings to achieve fulfillment in faith.
It also allows the stubborn to repent and learn to bring forth their own conscience—this is the essence of the teachings of Jesus, the very gospel of universal love that has been passed down, guiding people into the faith of Christianity. This is the innate instinct of all humanity to believe. Well, thank you all for accompanying this work and for spending some time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!
## The Sacred Emperor of the Three Literary Balances of the Void
The ancestral lineage of this hall is established by the Queen Mother of the West, who ascends the platform to preside.
Greetings to all sages and virtuous ones,
May auspiciousness protect your cultivation of virtue.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the sacred teachings are delivered through the descent of Jesus, the Sage of Christianity. In the twenty-sixth session of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Society, we shall analyze the widespread promotion of universal love and the benefit it brings to humanity. This will clarify how the concept of universal love in Christianity differs from that in other religious beliefs.
Indeed, it surpasses rather than falls short, which is why many sentient beings, particularly those of higher intellectual and social standing, are largely drawn to the Christian faith. As the ultimate refuge for all humanity, it truthfully fulfills the aspirations of human beings in their beliefs, granting them abundant blessings.
Thus, among human beings, those who are more inclined to embrace religious faith are truly commendable. Furthermore, tomorrow marks the second day of the "Grand Tao Secret Dharma Offering Ceremony" from the thirty-seventh volume of the "Heavenly Books of the Grand Tao Series" of our sect. With two more days of ceremonies to follow tomorrow and the day after, let us observe the efforts of everyone. Your hard work is greatly appreciated. Farewell for now!
##The Primordial Eight Trigrams  Fuxi the Great Emperor
Islam flourished in the Western Regions,  
Muhammad safeguarded the common people.
The twenty-seventh chapter of the Prophetic Writings: The true intention is to return home.
The universal human deficiency of returning to purity.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they naturally develop a need for religious faith and livelihood sustenance. These two aspects mutually shape each other, serving as support for one's existence in the world and becoming essential for human survival. For all humanity in this vast world, this gives rise to virtuous manifestations.
Regarding religious faith and the sustenance of life, the mutual reliance and application of these two aspects also position faith as a spiritual anchor. This can complement and enhance the means of livelihood, thereby fostering an upward progression in the human world. It also allows the spirit to find attachment to the intangible realm. However, this approach to sustaining life in the human world is not entirely comfortable or satisfactory.
In the face of the continuous disasters inflicted by Run Sheng and the calamities of the Earthly Nether Star, humanity is filled with profound fear. People often liken these human sufferings to natural disasters, which makes it clear: there is an urgent need for religious faith in the human world, aimed at ensuring the comfort and well-being of all living beings in their existence.
This is propagated within the human world, advocating for the equality of the five major religions across the great cosmos. In this, there exists mutual support, while simultaneously elevating various religions toward a state of mutual integration. Therefore, in the human realm, it manifests as follows: conditions for nurturing life are often insufficient, and there is no comfortable space to dwell in!
The Great Dao of Five Teachings – Returning Home to the Pure and True
However, there are those who can transcend the formless realm to mutually assist one another. In their distinct understandings of Eastern and Western nations, they often liken the human world to an ordinary passage of time. This human world is often intangible, unclear, and incomprehensible, leaving all its origins and outcomes shrouded in mystery.
Therefore, they worship the sublime beings of the intangible realm, allowing their own survival orientation to gain a profound sense of stability. This feeling is the same for all human beings, regardless of whether they are from Eastern or Western nations. Moreover, because human beings are unable to discern what the next stage of existence will be like?
This type of assembly thus emerges: different prayers and aspirations toward religion! Therefore, human beings, through various religions, come to discern the causes, conditions, and karmic retributions of past lives. In this present life, they then devote themselves to the beliefs of various religions, which also take shape within the domains of different nations. In this way, humanity, in tangible form, worships the intangible.
It is precisely because the tangible can be seen by all, while the intangible cannot be seen by anyone, that this distinction between tangible and intangible space inevitably leads to a fundamental inability for humanity and all living beings to comprehend how such a process occurs. Consequently, it gives rise to the realization that various intangible forces are capable of shaking all that is tangible!
The Islamic faith has the largest number of adherents in the world.
In the face of natural disasters and human calamities, humanity fundamentally lacks the ability to discern what the next moment may bring. Hence, as an ancient Chinese saying goes, "Signs appear before fortune or misfortune arrives." This awareness leads people to seek invisible aid from one another, hoping to avert misfortune and navigate life safely and smoothly.
This is precisely how the Supreme Way and its five teachings are regarded. Moreover, there are many aspects in the human world that one can pray for, in order to fulfill the conditions one desires. This approach, by combining all practices in the human realm with the invisible aspects, allows one to understand that the virtues and blessings bestowed by the religious sages, founders, and revered masters of the five teachings of the Supreme Way are truly vast and profound!
They will manifest one by one in the human world. This aspect, which all religions will continue to uphold for the prayers of future generations, is also a necessity for a comfortable existence. Such is the nature of humanity! Through the mutual cooperation of the tangible and intangible, we evolve toward a more comfortable orientation for our own survival.
It leads to a comfortable life at a higher level of existence, allowing oneself to achieve virtuous elevation and transcendence! Therefore, regarding the "Return to Purity" of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, it is a form of worship of the formless and a reverence toward the East. The true purity within the inner nature of sentient beings is what truly matters!
The Five Religions of the Great Dao—The True Meaning of Islam's Purity and Truth
Thus, human beings can dwell in this comfort of existence without straying from the necessity of nourishing life, while also abandoning all delusions. Consequently, they may achieve a perfectly serene and luminous purification of the soul. This return to the true essence of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao is akin to the heart of an innocent child, elevated and transcended!
It will also shape the way human beings conduct themselves and live their lives based on the essence of purity and truth. This involves using all religious sects and schools of thought from the earthly and celestial realms to clarify whether each religion possesses the same genuine purity and innocence as that of a newborn child—only then can it be considered the true path! Among human beings, there will naturally be different orientations and pursuits in life.
It also allows sentient beings to find in religious faith a spiritual solace and a necessary refuge. Addressing the interconnectedness of the intangible and the tangible, we can view it through the lens of returning home with "purity and truth": all human beings must, with a childlike heart, restore their heavenly mind and innate nature, while placing themselves in a state of such innocence.
This childlike heart is the very foundation of Daoism, the compassion of Buddhism, the empathy of Confucianism, and the universal love of Christianity. When humanity possesses such a childlike heart, there will be no entanglements or restraints hindering upward growth and elevation; it dissolves the obstacles that otherwise prevent progress.
The heart of a newborn child is the very essence of returning home.
Human beings can understand: why is it necessary to return to the purity of home? For sentient beings, this can be seen as a necessity that surpasses other religions, allowing for a more authentic pursuit. From the perspective of the human world, it is essential to comprehend that returning to the purity of home is created through the "mind, spirit, and body" of human beings.
There exists a rather pure nature, thus, regarding the fundamental purpose of returning home, purity serves as the essential condition. It can facilitate for all sentient beings with affection the understanding of how to purify themselves amidst their impurities, how to attain tranquility, and how to evolve. These three necessities are also the primary reliance of the vast universe and the great earth!
Moreover, it is a part of the "true meaning of the operation of heaven and earth," and also a necessity that the celestial realm upholds as a guiding principle. Only by genuinely addressing the necessity of one's own upward growth in the future can it serve as the fundamental condition for returning home. Thus, through upward growth and elevation, one benefits oneself.
The Five Teachings of the Great Way return to the Pure Truth,  
All human affections are illuminated and perfected.
Innate purity elevates the original spirit;  
Returning to it requires utmost caution.
The pure and upright person is without blemish,  
Able to establish both self and others.
All human affections are but bonds,  
That hinder the spirit's purity.
This verse! Let us encourage each other alongside all sentient beings. For the first time in the human realm, we shall analyze the true essence of the Great Dao and the five teachings. The continuation will follow in the next installment, which I will also compose. Thank you all for accompanying me in this work, and for your patience in the Chongxin lineage. Together with old friends, we share words of farewell. You have all worked hard. Until we meet again!

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, has personally descended to compose this work for the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society—the twenty-seventh session. It offers a thorough and truthful analysis of "Returning Home in Purity," allowing everyone to understand the true meaning of "Returning Home in Purity."
Therefore, to live with a pure and true nature, free from any entanglements or troubles, is to act and live with a benevolent nature! This is the fundamental cause that Heaven must examine and assess. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow. Only through diligent effort can one achieve benevolent improvement and transcendence.
Further notice: The next installment will continue with the twenty-eighth chapter of "The True Buddha of the Great Dao." All lessons next week will be adjusted to focus on the sacred teachings, which will be elucidated by the newly appointed Luan Sheng. This will allow everyone to understand the results of our efforts over the past few months and to appreciate each individual's dedication in making judgments. Very well, thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!

The True Buddha of the Great Way, Twenty-Eighth Cycle  
The Pure Faith Worships in Accord with the Eastern Land
Upon returning home, one must pay homage to the Pure Land in the East.
When sentient beings with affection enter into an orientation toward survival, they will have virtuous support, but they will also create many karmic fruits and obstacles, which bind the existence of humanity. This is often necessary for worldly life in the process of nurturing existence, yet there must also be a driving force for upward growth.
Therefore, for human beings, this kind of nourishment of life is based on human survival. It is indeed correct to take survival as the foundation, but within this nourishment of life, there often exists an invisible pressure that compels one, in the tangible realm of existence, to necessarily seek the protection of the intangible.
In the human world, there exists a form of intangible protection and arrangement specifically aimed at this, with humanity as its focal point. Therefore, when many human beings enter the process of nurturing life, they rely on the worship of the intangible. For their own families, this serves as spiritual protection, and it also implies a subtle, unseen care.
Regarding the connection between the tangible and intangible, this manifests as a reliance on entering the realm of religious faith. Within the religious beliefs of the human world, there exists the Buddha Medicine Master Tathagata in Buddhism, who takes the Eastern Pure Land as his refuge. Similarly, Islam also takes the Eastern Pure Land as its foundational point.
The Pure Land in the East is revered in the Islamic prayer.
Among the multitude of human beings who hold faith in the Eastern Pure Land, the majority actually center their beliefs on the Western Pure Land. Such individuals, through their faith, can discern that for the nations of Western Europe, it is the Eastern Pure Land that serves as their spiritual foundation. Consequently, in the countries of the Arab world, the majority base their beliefs on Islam as the fundamental point of reference.
However, over the course of this millennium, for the entirety of human society, it would be the believers who would provide support. The majority of humanity, especially in the nations of Europe and America, would center their faith around Christianity. Consequently, compared to the spread of Christianity, the Islamic faith would become even more widespread.
It has also experienced Islam, with its faith centered on the purity of monotheism, and in terms of the technological civilization of faith for all humanity, it must turn to the worship of the East. This faith that guides all humanity toward a spiritual home allows us to understand whether humanity can embody the essence of purity in its existential orientation.
This form of purity is also one of the most lacking aspects among all human beings. It is inevitable that, as human beings grow from the innocent nature of "children" in their youth, they gradually lose their original essence of purity. Therefore, returning home means relying on and upholding this pure and true nature within the human world.
Pure and innocent, she returns home to heaven.
This innate purity and authenticity, after the age of twenty, is gradually lost by human beings in the course of life. As it fades in daily existence, the "spirit of the self" becomes increasingly tainted. Such contamination, in the human world, is akin to a vast dyeing vat.
It also obliterates the pure and true nature of human beings, leading to the contamination of their innate purity in the process of sustaining life. Consequently, they gradually lose their way amidst various life-sustaining pursuits, unable to achieve greater elevation. Yet, for human beings, the sustenance of life is indeed essential.
However, it is also essential to maintain one's own pure and untainted nature! Otherwise, how can one purify the accumulated filth from contamination that often burdens human beings, and thus foster spiritual growth? Therefore, the innocent and straightforward nature of children stands in stark contrast to the polluted spirituality of adults—the difference between the two is immense!
In this world, it is impossible for one's inherent nature to radiate into the surrounding environment. Therefore, can human beings remain uncontaminated? It is entirely impossible! From the perspective of worldly causes and conditions: human beings are "innocent and pure" in childhood, but after evolving into grown adults, what becomes of them?
The Great Dao of Five Teachings - Islamic Prayer
Thus, the innate purity and clarity of our original nature have long been lost, and a distinction has been made among the multitude of human beings. Such contamination is inevitable! This multitude of human beings cannot comprehend why one should take the Pure Land of the East as the ultimate refuge. In this way, the teachings transmitted by the ancient sages, beginning from the East and extending toward the Western world, have entered into the faith of the multitude of human beings.
It also truthfully establishes the object of faith for all human beings, providing mutual support for the return to the pure original nature. This is the distinction between human beings in childhood and adulthood. Therefore, taking the faith of all human beings as the foundation, this process enters into a state of evolution and elevation between the "tangible and intangible."
What, then, is the fundamental nature of human beings? Correspondingly, there is an even greater elevation and transcendence, particularly in relation to the foundational beliefs of the "Five Teachings of the Great Dao." These teachings are precisely based on the principles of non-action, compassion, mercy, universal love, and purity, which are applied to guide all humanity in their livelihood and spiritual faith.
It can be understood that if it is merely a form of belief, how can it meet the fundamental standards of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao? Yet, when all are integrated, humanity and all living beings will correspondingly possess the inherent qualities of non-action, compassion, mercy, universal love, and purity. These inherent qualities are beneficial to humanity and all living beings!
Every religion has its strengths and weaknesses, merits and flaws.
In the realm of various religious beliefs, one must never deviate from the essence of one's inherent nature. It should be understood that in this world, elevation is not achieved solely by adhering to a single religion. If one cannot embrace other faiths, such a believer will find it exceedingly difficult to attain transcendence and rise above.
Therefore, the standards elucidated by the Supreme Heaven for the five teachings of the Great Dao can serve as the guiding principles for faith and spiritual reliance. How do we perceive this reliance? It is precisely the religious faith championed by the Supreme Heaven in the human world, which also directs the essence of all five teachings toward the elevation of one's own spirituality.
This vision of the future five hundred years from now foresees the gradual dissolution of rigid religious barriers, thereby eliminating the bloodshed of religious wars among humanity. For all believers of faith, this will foster virtuous conditions for elevation and transcendence. Through such orientation toward growth, it will ultimately benefit all sentient beings of humankind.
Human beings would then be free from any deficiencies or erroneous actions, enabling them to truly and accurately elevate their understanding of religious faith. This would also foster virtuous religious beliefs as a guiding principle. Such conditions can only be achieved by adhering to the "Five Teachings of the Great Dao," which is indeed a rare and auspicious affinity. What do you all think—is this not good?
Faith in the Five Teachings as the foundation,  
Humanity and all beings will be free from conflict.
It is the distinction between you, me, and others that makes each person's faith difficult to pursue.
The Five Teachings of the Great Dao return home;  
Ascension and transcendence have already been arranged.
The sacred Buddhas of all heavens come forth to welcome,  
The unity of the five teachings opens the gates of blessings.
This verse is shared as mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings: to return to the true essence of the Five Great Teachings of the Dao—purity and authenticity. For humanity, faith should not be confined to holding only one's own religion while rejecting and despising others. Such an approach fosters goodwill and mutual support in this world. Gratitude to all for accompanying this work.
The Holy Prophet bestows upon all the great wisdom for elevation. This can be witnessed by all students of Chongxin. It is essential for the future integration of the five religions and is also necessary for the elevation of the five major faiths across the world. Thank you all. Gratitude for the extraordinary affinity of the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone! Allah!
## The Vast and Benevolent King of the Void
The Three Literary Emperors of the Void reign supreme,  
In the mortal realm, opportunities for teaching abound.
The Prophet will descend once more, bestowing wisdom that is sure to be awaited.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, has once again descended to the Chongxin lineage to compose the twenty-eighth installment of the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion Association. He will analyze the practice of Islamic prayers toward the Eastern Pure Land, offering everyone the opportunity to benefit from this profound wisdom.
Regarding the purity of human beings in their youth and the contamination in their later years, these can be compared to each other. Due to such causal conditions, human beings are even more susceptible to contamination, and thus it becomes more prevalent. Therefore, in the worldly teachings of cause and effect, it is essential to integrate and mutually support the five major religions, as only then can virtuous and favorable causes be nurtured and grow!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow! Do not wait until later, when you may regret not having learned enough when it is needed. It is essential to work hard now, to endure a little more effort in the present moment. Only then will you realize in the future how precious this learning truly is. Farewell, everyone!
##Five Grains Sage, Divine Farmer Emperor
The Primordial World gave birth to the Eight Trigrams,  
The Great Emperor Fu Xi bestowed virtue and grace upon all.
The True Buddha of the Great Way, Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Beautiful Tale of the Fusion of the Five Teachings
Human beings believe in religion.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they encounter both a food chain and a spiritual belief system. This food chain constitutes an essential condition for every human being, as securing food and shelter is the foremost priority for humanity. Once basic sustenance is ensured, people then proceed to pursue fulfillment in the "spiritual realm."
Human beings, under such conditions, are drawn into religious faith. Therefore, taking the world's five major religions today as an example: each possesses its own unique essence and distinctive strengths. If the essence of these five religions were separated, it would resemble the current era, where each holds its own distinct religious beliefs.
Thus it can be said: the essence of the Great Way and the five teachings is fundamentally not understood by humanity and all living beings. Within the faith of each religion, how can the strengths of each teaching be integrated into one? If one merely follows one's own religion and claims it to be the foremost under heaven, that is merely a personal assertion!
It is likely not the case that what one claims to be the finest in the world truly holds that distinction, for within it lie both the strengths and weaknesses of various religions. Thus, the Divine understands the merits and flaws of all faiths and integrates them into a single religion. If this unity were dismantled, many aspects would no longer align with what one proclaims as the ultimate in the world!
The Five Teachings of the Great Way must integrate with one another.
The essence of the mutual integration of the five teachings of the Great Dao lies in distinguishing the strengths, weaknesses, and merits of each religion. In my broader exploration, I have come to realize that all human beings fundamentally adhere to only one religion. If this is the case, aspiring for upward growth, elevation, and transcendence cannot be achieved merely by one's own words; it cannot be accomplished as one wishes!
This perspective on the human world fails to integrate the essence of the five major religions into a unified whole. If each insists only on its own correctness, how can we speak of other faiths? In today's world, the integration of these five religions has only just begun. It is precisely due to this karmic condition that the Heavenly Realm has bestowed its teachings upon the Chongxin lineage.
Authored by the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," it becomes clear that for all five religions, there is a possibility for mutual integration as well as mutual admiration! Moreover, they can mutually assist in addressing different necessary chains of affairs, demonstrating that in the human world, this is precisely how the five religions are integrated into one religion!
It is precisely by integrating the essence of various religions into the ways of worldly cultivation, rather than adhering solely to the practices of a single religion. I ask you all: Do you wish to cultivate within a single religion, or to blend the essence of the five teachings? For your own being, this will bring a broader perspective and benefit you greatly!
Each person holds steadfast to their own faith.
In today's age, there are very few individuals who can elevate and transcend their spiritual state solely through the practice of a single religion. If, by the boundless grace of the Heavenly Providence, the integration of the five major religions could be realized, it would serve as a pivotal opportunity for the greater evolution and growth of humanity in the 21st century and beyond.
However, how often can such conditions and circumstances truly manifest in the present moment? They are fundamentally nonexistent! It is essential to honestly break through the barriers and limitations of past beliefs, transcend religious divides, and integrate the teachings of the five major religions. This not only brings boundless benefits to oneself but also enables the endless edification and benefit of others.
All religions in the human world must, in the future, integrate with one another, rather than remaining confined to singular faiths as in the past. If this is not achieved, the essence of the five major teachings—compassion, non-action, empathy, universal love, and purity—cannot be fully realized through integration. This integration is what benefits me in the present moment.
Rather than being confined to the educational teachings of a single religion, this approach allows for a broader transcendence for future generations of humanity. Thus, the question arises: can humanity elevate itself to become beings of greater transcendence and return to a higher state? Or will it remain trapped in the cycle of adhering to and advocating for a single religion within the confines of the human world?
The Integration of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao
In the 21st century, humanity has already evolved into an era of "cosmic galaxies." If we still cling to the outdated concept of the "space age," we will inevitably fall behind the times. Therefore, people will integrate the five major teachings of the Great Dao, thereby better benefiting all sentient beings.
Thus, by establishing the Chongxin Sect lineage as the vanguard for future religious integration, this necessary endeavor will bring about a broader elevation and transcendence. It will guide humanity into more sublime realms of time and space, enabling navigation across the entire cosmic galaxy. This is the benevolent wish and gracious blessing of the Heavenly Providence.
It is a fact that all religions can integrate with each other, and it is no longer the case that only those who adhere to a single religion are considered faithful believers. For the future of humanity, merely satisfying human desires is no longer sufficient. It can be understood that by integrating the essence of the five major religions into religious faith, the treasures that can be obtained are exceptionally abundant.
The integration of the five teachings is a necessity ordained by Heaven.
It also truthfully evolves human beings into a more transcendent race; this is bound to form such exceptional conditions from after the 21st century until the mid-30th century. It can also be observed that by the 25th century, all religions in the human world will have integrated with one another, and moreover, religious wars will no longer exist.
This kind of discernment regarding whether sentient beings can understand, the belief in a single religion, and the distinction from the belief in the integration of the five religions—I ask everyone: which one brings greater benefit? As for the integration of the five religions, this is a necessity of the Divine Providence, and it truly elevates and transcends humanity, allowing sentient beings to ascend and progress!
To discern within the integration of the five teachings, the Chongxin Sect indeed serves as the vanguard of the "Great Path's pioneering force." The sacred mission of propagation entrusted to you all is vast and extensive. It is through the steadfast resolve of Master Lixin Guangming that the divine mandate from Heaven has descended upon the Chongxin Sect, granting it an even greater sacred duty. Everyone should recognize that this is precisely how future leadership training is to be carried out.
The Five Teachings of the Great Dao converge and harmonize,  
Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam all illuminate with the same clarity.
This makes clear its exceptional merit, which is precisely to elevate and foster virtuous character.
No religion on earth should be rejected, for the five faiths each maintain their own integrity.
Thus, humanity came to embrace faith, supporting one another selflessly.
This verse! It is for all fellow human beings to encourage one another; it speaks of the necessity to integrate the Five Teachings of the Great Dao. That is to say, through the mutual integration of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, we can assist in elevating and transcending ourselves. It is through the Chongxin Sect's series of Celestial Books on the Great Dao that we can comprehend the mysteries within, and this is the true path! Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time with the Chongxin Sect. Farewell, everyone!
## Heavenly Venerable of Void Enlightenment
Lord Wenchang of the Void ascends,  
Gathering with all divine beings at Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well, and may the Chongxin lineage flourish ever more.
Good evening to all saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Emperor Fuxi of the Primordial Eight Trigrams descended to the Chongxin lineage, bringing about the mutual integration of the five major teachings of the Great Dao. This integration will undoubtedly prove essential for the 25th century and beyond. For now, however, each religion continues to uphold its own faith and traditions.
In this world, there are few as sublime as the Chongxin Sect lineage. Thus arises the necessity for the integration and mutual support of the five teachings. The Chongxin Sect lineage has been honored with the great responsibility entrusted by Heaven, to continue advancing the future integration of the five teachings as the "vanguard leading the way." One can sense that this sacred mission in the mortal realm is carried forward and promoted through the high regard and empowerment of Heaven.
This is also the necessity of truth; tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow! Keep striving hard, and farewell!
##Ancestral Founder of China, Huangdi the Ancient Sage
Creating the heavens and earth to benefit all beings,  
The ancient ancestor Pangu descended to accomplish this.
The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Chapter Thirty: The Leaders of the Five Teachings Are All as One with the Truth
Every religion has its strengths and weaknesses.
Human beings, upon entering the world, inevitably face the necessity of sustaining life and the need for faith. Thus, integrating the food chain with spiritual enrichment presents an opportunity for humanity to elevate itself toward goodness. In this regard, the five major religions of the world each possess their own strengths and weaknesses.
Thus, merely believing in a religion without understanding it prevents one from discerning where the strengths of one's faith lie, as well as its shortcomings. Many people fall into the trap of forming biased views toward religious beliefs, plunging themselves into a fog of fundamental ignorance, and even believing that their own faith is the greatest in the world.
From the perspective of human beings, this is an understandable stance. However, when viewed through the lens of other religions, each faith claims to be the foremost in the world. By comparing different religions, one can discern the unique strengths of each.
And one's own inadequacies can be clearly seen at a glance! When comparing within the human world, one can discern the "adequacies and inadequacies" presented by various religions. This is a point of confusion specifically for religious believers, and thus, many people are unable to dissect this issue.
Integrate the essence of the five teachings.
Each of the five teachings has its unique strengths and also its respective merits and shortcomings. Consequently, people often fail to recognize their limitations. In today's era, when comparing the great paths of the five teachings in the human world, most beings fundamentally fail to understand: is the religion I believe in not the foremost under heaven?
In truth, even the highest principles of the world have their shortcomings. Therefore, the heavens determine all religions and all religious believers based on their own supreme conditions. This is why the Great Way descended and manifested through the five teachings, providing humanity with a foundation for faith and a standard by which such faith may be judged.
Whether one is a devout believer or a casual adherent can be discerned: those who have faith in the Five Teachings of the Great Way can comprehend that the causes and conditions of past times and the present moment represent different orientations. This also truthfully distinguishes, within the human world, the varying religious paths of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.
If we consider the whole, we can understand that each religion is precisely rooted in its region and aligns with the beliefs of the local human beings—this is its true nature! It can be said: the original religion of the Central Plains was first based on Daoism, then enriched by the propagation of Confucianism. What came after that?
The Introduction of Other Religions into China
Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, the homeland of the descendants of Yan and Huang, from the Western Regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, these three—Buddhism, the indigenous traditions, and the culture of Yan and Huang—have long been integrated into the beliefs of the Chinese people. Following this synthesis, during the Ming Dynasty, Christianity was introduced to the Central Plains, and Islam soon followed. This is precisely what the descendants of Yan and Huang have come to understand: the flourishing transformation of one flower with five petals!
This is in line with the trends of the current era, allowing for a more authentic understanding: simply by being online, one can discern the strengths and weaknesses of the Five Great Teachings of the Dao! It also enables the flourishing of various religions. Today, one can truly grasp: what is the most popular religious belief in the world? From this, one can understand the insights each individual has gained!
Everyone can understand: it may seem that the propagation of Buddhism and Christianity is relatively flourishing, but in reality, the spread of Islam is the most extensive and well-documented, far surpassing that of Confucianism and Taoism. This illustrates how the five major religions of the Great Way are currently being propagated and promoted in the modern era.
The Five Teachings of the Great Way each possess their own essence.
Thus, using all the fundamental conditions of the human world to propagate the Great Dao, each of the five major religions has its own strengths and weaknesses. Can humanity discern: whether in the faith of each individual religion, or in a fusion of the five religions, it can be said: Has humanity embraced the essence of each tradition? Or has it embraced the essence of all five traditions (religions)?
This is about how humanity can mutually benefit from the essential principles of various teachings, depending on whether they prove advantageous to oneself. It also represents an elevation and transcendence toward goodness for humankind. Within the Five Teachings of the Great Dao, each possesses its own essential points of wisdom. How, then, should humanity seek growth? Is there a broader mind and vision that can truthfully absorb the essence of these Five Teachings?
It is also beneficial to genuinely explore the essence of the five teachings! For the limited human lifespan, this offers a path through which one may, in a single lifetime, reach the benchmark of transcendence and return. As for the essence of the five teachings of the Great Dao, it is simply a matter of personal will and preference. One can clearly understand that delving into all five teachings across the world brings greater benefit.
The Five Great Teachings of the Dao maintain a mutual balance in belief.
If there is a significant difference in benefit compared to adhering to a single religion! The balanced benchmark of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao for humanity is something that can only be discerned in the current era; the same should apply to all religious beliefs. That is, it should aim for upward growth in the human world, but also allow for the possibility of downward decline.
Have you truly benefited in this life, and can you distinguish between what brings benefit and what does not? The compassion of Buddhism, the non-action of Daoism, the empathy of Confucianism, the universal love of Christianity, and the purity of Islam—all are practiced within the human world. If you, in this very lifetime, can integrate the essence of these teachings and embody them throughout your life...
Conversely, it prevents more severe degeneration and instead fosters an upward progression. This aligns with the fundamental principles of Heaven and serves as a necessary selection for humanity's future. By turning inward to one's own energy, one can accumulate a substantial quantum of vital force, which constitutes the true essence of reality.
The five teachings converge into one family, thus establishing an equal vehicle for creating the world.
Each choice must align with truth,  
Thus virtue's boundless heights are reached.
All human beings hold faith, yet each has a different past life.
Cause and condition arise and manifest in the present,  
Naturally accomplished, they come forth to propagate.
This verse is shared among all human beings to encourage one another. It analyzes how the integration of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao serves as a highly beneficial condition for oneself, helping everyone understand that the integration of the Five Teachings, as desired by Heaven in the future, has already begun to be disseminated, promoted, and spread by the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association.
This is the necessity of the vanguard force; it enables everyone to progress upward throughout their lifetime! It allows for the exploration of the essence of various religions, benefiting one's own growth, and elevating and transcending one's entire life! Thank you all for accompanying us in this work, and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!
## True Lord of Fate in the Void
The Vast and Void Lord of Broad Marshes ascends,  
Gathering with all deities and sages of the Revered Heart.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The conditions for spreading the Dharma are truly precious.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, as well as the students and cultivators of the Wuji Great Tao Academy! Today, the Primordial Ancestor (Great Emperor) Pangu, who separated heaven and earth, has descended to compose this work. It analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of the five major teachings within the Great Tao True Buddha Heart Religion. The Heavens decree that after five hundred years, these teachings will inevitably merge into one!
Thus, there is no fragmentation or mutual contention; instead, there emerges the realization that by integrating diverse perspectives into the human world, goodness can flourish. It is through this integration that humanity, in the course of a single lifetime, can truly discern: the essence of the Five Great Teachings of the Dao offers more genuine benefit than any single religion alone.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. It is also the time for the Zen Master's lecture. We hope everyone can join us to uncover treasures together! Alright, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Three Pure Ones' Patriarch, Primordial Heavenly Worthy
The five grains were created to nourish life;  
The ancient sages taught the people to cultivate them.
Shennong the Great authored the celestial scriptures,  
A single religion alone is insufficient for truth.
Human belief is confined to a single religion.
In the human world, even with religious faith as a foundation, the conditions for sustaining life must still be addressed. For me, how should one secure a place in the food chain while also integrating spiritual beliefs? From the perspective of the five major religions of the world, each has its advantages and disadvantages, inevitably leading to certain shortcomings and inadequacies.
If we speak in terms of past eras: faith in a single religion was a manifestation of loyalty and goodness. Yet, in the context of the present age: the entire Earth Star has already advanced into the era of the "cosmic star system," and is no longer the "space age" of the past! This can be understood by humanity through the internet.
Regarding various religious beliefs, one must be absolutely loyal and unwavering. If this is the case, how can the universalization of humanity, as affirmed by such past beliefs, lead to a more advanced enlightenment? Therefore, in the present era, a single religious belief system can no longer meet the needs of the general public.
Nor is there a certainty of genuine ascension and transcendence. Moreover, for humanity, this entails significant deficiencies and shortcomings. For those who genuinely cultivate and practice, progress is difficult to achieve; while for the faith of the general populace, it is not sufficiently perfected in wisdom for growth. As for ordinary individuals, how can they attain true goodness and transcendence?
The Benefits of the Essence of the Five Teachings
It is impossible! Moreover, implanting such limitations and obstacles into the thoughts and perceptions of humanity will create significant hindrances, which are exceedingly difficult to dissolve. For humanity in the pursuit of religious faith, it is essential to have genuine educational courses that guide oneself toward higher levels.
This perception of the human world emerges with considerable growth, thus enabling all ordinary people to realize that for genuine practitioners, it represents a steadfast faith, not something optional! Therefore, for all life orientations in the human world, there must be a clear necessity.
As for my entry into religious faith in this lifetime, the function that enables upward elevation and transcendence does not stem from belief in a "single religion" alone. Moreover, it is necessary to engage with the "essence of the five religions" and genuinely foster upward growth. This is the benefit derived from integrating the functions of the "essence of the five religions."
In this world, it is not about teaching people to abandon their own religious beliefs. In the present era, one can explore the essence of the five major religions to foster personal growth, rather than letting precious life pass by in vain. For all humanity, with a clear understanding of knowledge, one will come to recognize: the single-faith religious devotion of the past is worthy of affirmation and encouragement.
It was so in the past, but now it is different.
However, the present era has evolved and elevated, and human beings are now capable of embracing the essence of all five major religions. With such an open-minded perspective, one can accordingly position oneself at a pivotal moment of upward transcendence. In this way, a greater understanding can be attained regarding the faiths of the five major religions across the world, encompassing all the profound essence and evolution bestowed by the heavens!
Thus, one can achieve self-growth, elevation, and transcendence! This approach, in relation to all the five major religious beliefs within the Great Dao in the human world, serves as a mutual complement to the shortcomings of one's own faith, thereby enabling a more authentic and reciprocal gain! If humanity fails to comprehend the assistance offered by future times and spaces, one should not waste the efforts of this lifetime in vain.
In contrast, human beings often face significant obstacles in their own growth and transcendence, and are unable to benefit from the truths readily accessible in this world—such as through the internet—nor are they confined solely to the limitations of a single religion. This kind of devotion to a single religion, in past times and contexts, was indeed worthy of great affirmation and encouragement.
However, in the present era, the prevalence of such singular religious beliefs has waned. Thus, the Divine has opened the path for the mutual integration of the essence of the five major religions in the human world. This also allows humanity to immerse in and learn from the strengths and weaknesses inherent in each of these five faiths. How, then, can devotion to all five religions be elevated and deepened?
The Pros and Cons of a Single Religious Belief
It is absolutely not merely the refinement of a single religion! It is essential to understand with utmost sincerity: only by benefiting from the essence of all five major religions can one achieve genuine and authentic growth. Otherwise, there will be many shortcomings. Why is this so? One may examine the original meanings of all religious scriptures—each religion has its own strengths and also its own limitations.
This is a fundamental realization that human beings are fundamentally incapable of discerning; why is this so? It is because each has its own regional harmony and various different understandings! This is based on the conditions of faith held by human beings in various regions, and how these conditions of faith can truly benefit everyone!
To distinguish for myself: how can I truly grasp the essence within and even derive wholesome benefit from it! If one cannot, with regard to all humanity, understand the strengths and weaknesses of each of the five major religions within the realm of faith, then one is confined to believing in a single religion alone—how narrow that would be!
Thus, it becomes impossible to progress toward the integration of the essence of the five teachings, leading to a sense of inadequacy in single religious beliefs. Why, then, does the Heavenly Will intend for the next five hundred years to be a period of mutual integration and transcendent growth in religious faith? Viewed in this light, the Chongxin Sect lineage, under such conditions of cause and effect, emerges as the vanguard of the Great Path in the future.
The belief in the Five Teachings has reduced the need for much exploration.
One can approach this with utmost sincerity, reaping the benefits of the essence contained within all five teachings. Moreover, it allows for an understanding of why, in this human world where distinctions are most difficult to discern, the integration of these five teachings is necessary. Thus, regarding the religious faith of humanity and the process of nurturing life, it shows how to ascend, grow, and transcend!
This is the necessity for all human beings, under the will of Heaven, to evolve, grow, and elevate themselves in the present moment. It is also a truth that all spiritual practices and actions in this world must be transformed through steadfast determination and perseverance. This very drive can become the original force for one’s upward growth, bringing forth the benefits of goodness.
This is based on the past reliance on a single religion and the necessity of integrating the five major religions in the future, thereby guiding humanity to no longer engage in religious wars that harm the precious lives of all beings. It is through such foresight and preparation that we can genuinely transform and mitigate the potential loss of control in future technological civilization.
There is a kind of elevation and transcendence that guides humanity and all beings toward greater growth. Within a well-established framework of goodness, it is essential to distinguish the fundamental concepts that should be upheld toward sentient beings. Only then can there be a genuine safeguard for one’s own future survival, and only then can the violent behaviors of human civilization be truly transformed.
The five great religions of the world serve as faiths,  
Yet the multitudes of humanity are not all the same.
Technological civilization may spiral out of control; we must prepare in advance for a safe return.
All sentient beings are Buddhas,
Each step and imprint completes me.
To ascend within the human realm  
Is to return and transcend to the Buddha-land.
This verse is shared with all fellow human beings for mutual encouragement; it analyzes the slight inadequacies of any single religion, revealing that the great virtue and grace of Heaven mutually assist humanity. Within religious faith, there will be a genuine and wholesome elevation and transcendence! It also signifies that in this human world, a wholesome and favorable affinity is destined to grow and integrate in the future.
It serves as a testament to the present for the future, truthfully transforming the cruelty of runaway technology! Moreover, it benefits future generations by bringing fulfillment, guiding many benevolent blessings to uplift all humanity and sentient beings toward a better existence. I also extend my gratitude for everyone’s efforts and apologize for any inconvenience during our time at the Chongxin lineage. Farewell to all!

The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Thirty-Second Chapter: The Distinctive Strengths of the Five Religions' Teachings
The Five Teachings of Humanity Benefit All Living Beings
In the human world, many are drawn to the depths of various religious doctrines through religious initiation. Within these teachings, each religion possesses its own unique strengths and also has its shortcomings. This is why the Heavens have sent down the five great religions of the world, each with its own causes and conditions, to be disseminated among humanity.
This is the differentiation derived from the Great Dao! Can sentient beings comprehend that the entire cosmic galaxy is formed by the Five Elements of the Great Cosmos, and that the vastness of the interstellar universe is also sustained by these Five Elements? Since such understanding is beyond the grasp of sentient beings, why then distinguish the application of the Five Elements of the Great Cosmos?
In the human world, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains are more likely to comprehend the arrangement of this Five Elements formula, whereas in the beliefs of other nations, it is difficult to understand the arrangement of the Five Elements across the vast cosmos. This arrangement is rooted in the Great Dao, relying on the mass of the entire cosmic galaxy, and is also composed of various arrangements of the Five Elements.
Thus, it becomes easier for human beings among the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land to comprehend. Without the arrangement of the Five Elements in the great cosmos, the entire universe and its star systems would also be unable to understand the arrangement of celestial phenomena in the great cosmos. Therefore, the Five Elements were established precisely because of the karmic connections of the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land.
The doctrines of the five religions each have their own merits.
This is the duty of the Supreme Heaven, which does not concentrate all religious merits within a single religion. Therefore, it exists in accordance with the foundations upon which humanity survives. Thus, for different religions, the origin of the Dao is rooted in the Five Elements! In this way, the origin of the Dao is also spread more profoundly and widely.
Only thereafter did Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam emerge. This approach, which connects the Five Elements of the Dao with the hexagrams and lines of the Eight Trigrams, applies the "Innate Eight Trigrams" and the "Acquired Eight Trigrams" in mutual interaction. Consequently, many phenomena arise where "signs of fortune and misfortune appear before their actual occurrence." It also links the Five Elements of the Dao with all human conduct in the world, thus taking the Five Elements as its foundation.
Regarding the essence of the other five teachings, it was only after the manifestation of the Buddha that faith in the five teachings of the great cosmos began to flourish. Therefore, in relation to the past of the Central Land, it was based on the "essence of Daoism" that responses were made to enable the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land to comprehend and realize. During this period of time, many classics were bestowed upon the human world.
Having endured the ravages of Qin Shi Huang and the Red Guards of the Republic, many ancient classics of the Central Plains were destroyed and lost. Later generations, who were more inclined to treasure these works, found themselves unable to pass them down due to the abandonment of ancient texts. As a result, the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains were left with only fragmented remnants.
The doctrines of the five religions are interpreted and developed differently.
Unlike the widespread circulation of information in the contemporary internet age, this approach to ancient classics should be grounded in Daoism, using the phenomena of heaven, earth, and the cosmos to illuminate human affairs. In this regard, the "Daoist classics" are considered the most outstanding. Yet, from the perspective of today's era, they have all been buried by later generations and have not been passed down.
At the same time, there are no longer any good and outstanding classics being revealed! This has resulted in many classics within the Daoist tradition remaining largely untransmitted, with some preserved only in ancient scriptural repositories. Today, the most widely transmitted classics are predominantly Buddhist, such as the Buddhist "Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra" and many other classics that have been passed down through the ages.
All are passed down through future generations of disciples. This form of transmission, rooted in contemporary spirit-writing practices, often produces scriptures with relatively limited depth, yet they are referred to as divine revelations descending from heaven. However, regarding the doctrines of each religion, aside from the classics transmitted by sages of the past...
All other religions are disseminated through divine revelations from heaven, and each religion is the same, none can depart from such divinely inspired writings. This perspective on the doctrines of the five major world religions will give rise to many reflections. As for the religion I believe in, each follower claims: it is the number one in the world! Considering this: what then defines the "number one in the world"?
Later, more travelogues were written across time and space.
There are indeed many excellent classics, yet there are also numerous shortcomings. How can this be explained? In the past, this was often referred to as spirit writing, which gave rise to a multitude of travelogues, with "Journeys to Heaven and Hell" being the most prominent, while others are of lesser significance. However, those who truly engage in "inner cultivation" are exceedingly rare.
The core belief of the Five Great Teachings of the Earth is the integration of the Five Teachings into the Five Elements, and the Five Elements into the Five Teachings. This is based on the entirety of the Underworld Star, and no religion can escape this limitation. In the present era, most humans employ their unique abilities to guide and deliver all sentient beings.
This approach utilizes the Five Elements of the grand cosmos to support the mutual integration of the Five Teachings within it. Similarly, the religious beliefs across the entire planetary space of Diming Star follow the same principle. This is the manifestation of the compassionate virtue and grace of the Heavenly Realm, bestowed upon the religious faith of all humanity. Simultaneously, it elevates humanity through mutual integration and transcendence with the Heavenly Realm.
The religions of the human world also integrate with one another. This is because the Divine does not differentiate between any religion, yet humanity distinguishes them by claiming: "The religion I believe in is the foremost in the world, and only this is the truth! What I believe in is the most sublime in the world!" This arises from the arrogant heart of human beings, who compare and compete with one another.
The Five Teachings of the Great Cosmos are interconnected.
Relying on the faith of the five major religions of the world, one cannot escape this interconnectedness, which is based on the divine and descends into the human realm. All considerations regarding the widespread reach of the current generation’s internet can likewise lead to a more advanced and profound understanding. Through such practice within the five major religions of the world, one can discern how to further their propagation.
Regarding the religious doctrines of the Five Elements in the great cosmos, they are indeed the practice of one flower with five petals! If human beings still rely solely on the faith of a single religion, it is indeed a mark of loyalty. However, if you wish to achieve a true return and transcendence in this lifetime, it is unlikely that mere desire alone will suffice. On the contrary, it becomes quite difficult to attain genuine elevation!
This requires a broad and benevolent heart to embrace the interconnectedness of other religions. Therefore, in the human world, the necessity of integrating the five religions has already been set in motion, moving beyond the past practice of adhering solely to a single faith. One must understand the essential wisdom of all five religions in their entirety to achieve spiritual elevation.
Only then can there be a space for the beneficial reception of goodness. This is the "vanguard force" of the Chongxin Sect in the twenty-first century, dedicated to the integration of the five major religions across the world. Only by truly implementing this into the efforts of all students and followers can the fundamental goal of integrating all five religions be genuinely achieved.
The Way's non-action shapes a thousand autumns,  
The Buddha's compassion cultivates myriad practices.
The compassion of Confucianism endures through the ages,  
While the universal love of Christianity remains among humanity.
To return to the purity of faith, one must seek clarity;  
The harmony of the five teachings brings forth new brilliance.
Devotedly establishing integration, promoting the vanguard path of the Five Teachings.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all compassionate beings of humanity; to disseminate the teachings of the five religions, each with its own merits, and for the future, it is certain that after five hundred years, they will merge and interconnect. This is guided by the divine will of Heaven! Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!
## The Void Mountain's King Wu Mu
The Lord of Void Destiny descends in person;  
The Chongxin lineage renews its path of Dao.
Step by step, leaving a footprint with each stride, spreading and integrating the practice of the five teachings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the revered ancestor of the Chinese nation, the Yellow Emperor, has personally descended to compose the thirty-second chapter of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Society. Through the dissemination of the distinct teachings of the five major religions into the human world, it can be understood that the integration of future religions has already begun!
For all human beings, there will inevitably be a more refined and diligent elevation. This driving force within the sentient world enables humanity to ascend and progress upward, while also facilitating a return and transcendence. By greatly increasing the transcendence of the four hundred million Buddha-disciples and the ninety-two original spiritual beings, a state of perfect accomplishment is achieved!
Today, a disciple from Malaysia has returned to take refuge. Tomorrow, as usual on Saturdays, the celestial Buddhas and teachers will directly bestow predictions, to facilitate the propagation of the Dharma upon returning to their home country. Tomorrow is Saturday, and the day after marks this month’s repentance ceremony. Let us all strive together! With sincere dedication, thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
##Taoist Patriarch, Daode Tianzun
The Three Pure Ones descend upon Penglai,  
The Primordial Heavenly Lord bestows his virtuous grace.
The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Thirty-Third Chapter:  
The Merit of Integrating the Five Teachings.
The integration of the five teachings each possesses its own merits and essence.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they encounter many different religions to believe in. Particularly in daily life, this leads to a relative distinction between livelihood and faith, prompting the question: Which religion should I follow to walk the right path? In this sense, there are indeed far too many religions that human beings can choose to believe in!
In particular, regarding the teachings and karmic connections of the Five Religions of Dadao, it can be said that they represent a relatively orthodox approach to education, one that is free from any bias or error. By following the guidance of the Five Religions of the Great Cosmos and relying on the support of religious faith, one can come to understand: how should I, in this present life, approach the existence of daily living?
How can we enhance the spiritual reliance on faith? In this way, for the five major religions in the world, each possesses its own essence, which will contribute to the integration of these five faiths, allowing them to converge into a complete belief system. This approach prevents reliance on a single religion alone, which often leads to deviations in individual thoughts and perspectives.
If one is a fanatical believer, it often brings significant obstacles and calamities. If one is an ordinary believer, they are more likely to support this religious faith. If one is a diligent practitioner of faith, they will immerse themselves wholeheartedly in their belief, demonstrating great fervor and dedication to spiritual cultivation.
The integration of the five teachings, each drawing on their respective strengths.
Within this lies a distinction: for those with extreme beliefs, which exist in every religion, it can be said that they are "creating evil karma through good deeds." Moreover, by imposing perspectives that others cannot accept through their faith, they cause people to settle for less. This is how, in the human world, misguided beliefs come to be upheld.
From this, one can understand: after I have entered into religious faith, how should I uphold and diligently advance in it? It should not become a form of extreme belief! In this world, most extreme beliefs, when observed, often stem from a great deal of enthusiasm. However, when it comes to individuals’ actions and conduct, they easily deviate from the impartiality of religious faith.
Often, one may regard religious faith as the foremost priority, yet fail to truly penetrate its profound depths, merely knowing it to be quite good without understanding where its goodness lies. Such a religious believer, initially not extreme, may find themselves unable to maintain control when problems arise, allowing personal misconduct to creep in.
It often happens that one projects their own ideology outward, causing others to feel a strong sense of disapproval, which in turn breeds aversion toward that religion. Such believers are everywhere! Yet, these very followers fail to realize that their own actions have already contradicted the essence of the religion they profess.
The merits of all religions are to be collectively embraced.
Furthermore, having others back down has set many negative examples. Regarding the essence of the five teachings, one should embrace a wholesome and virtuous faith, rather than adhering to a faith rooted in bias. If faith is tainted by prejudice, how can it embody a truly just and principled religious belief? Such an individual can hardly be considered a true believer.
If we consider the human world, we can integrate the five major religions of the present era, thereby achieving: mutual support among various religions, mutual growth, and mutual reliance in faith! Such an approach, for those who adhere to the five major religions, is less likely to lead to dogmatic or extreme beliefs.
It is precisely through the integration of the five religions that one can discern the strengths and weaknesses of various faiths, and based on each individual's understanding, foster greater growth and evolution. In this way, a person who embraces the integration of the five religions would not engage in extreme or rigid actions driven by differing beliefs. Thus, in the human world, the five major religions of the world are mutually integrated!
To elevate the faith and reliance of humanity, that is, to allow the Chongxin lineage to integrate the original driving force of the five major religions! The five religions of the world will mutually blend, each adopting their strengths and discarding their shortcomings. This is the will of Heaven, so that after five hundred years, the integration of all five religions will bring forth virtuous and favorable conditions for elevation.
Delving into the essence and virtues of the five teachings.
Regarding all the interdependent causes and conditions in the human world, there is also mutual appreciation and growth. If one delves into the scriptures of the five major religions and integrates their essential teachings to complement one another, then in the course of my lifelong faith, I can discern that in adhering to a single religion, human beings often become biased or extreme in one direction.
If the five religions were to integrate with one another, it would present me with an opportunity to evolve and grow further through these conditions of cause and effect. This integration of the five major religions, which have each been followed by humanity for less than a century, could reduce the cycle of repeated rebirths across lifetimes.
To embrace the essence of all faiths is to integrate the wisdom of the world's five major religions into a unified belief! Thus, I ask you all: Do you desire a single faith or the fusion of the five teachings? This is the key to reducing the cycles of rebirth and alleviating many conflicts born of ignorance and obstacles!
It can be said: whether one adheres to a single religion or embraces the integration of the five religions, the merits of a single religious faith should be recognized. Such individuals are called: loyal believers! Therefore, it is essential to understand: what is the original intent of the Heavenly Lord! As the ancient saying goes: those who act against Heaven are easily judged, while those who act in accordance with Heaven are easily accomplished!
Devotion to the heart is the vanguard force for the integration of the five religions.
Thus, the five major religions of the world are upheld and revered as the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, which in the future shall serve as the vanguard of Heaven! This divine mandate is granted by Heaven to examine its fundamental principles, receiving the teachings of all celestial immortals and Buddhas, without distinction among the Confucian, Daoist, Buddhist, Christian, and Islamic faiths. For the five major religions of the world, they mutually assist and elevate one another toward transcendence.
It also enables sentient beings, who originally required five to ten lifetimes of religious faith, to achieve complete return and transcendence within a single lifetime! This process, which originally demanded five to ten lifetimes to truly cultivate a mutual integration, can now be accomplished in one lifetime with even more genuine and virtuous opportunities.
Regarding the celestial immortals and buddhas, there is no distinction made between Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam. They have consistently descended upon the Chongxin lineage, imparting the experiences of their past enlightenment into the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books." Thus, within a single lifetime, everyone can comprehend the spiritual teachings of the five major religions of the world.
It can also truthfully manifest the essence and key principles of the five teachings one by one in the evolution of genuine practitioners. This can elevate everyone to a higher level of civilized enlightenment, representing true upward growth. In this way, there will no longer be the five teachings divided by various religions; instead, they will have fully integrated with one another.
The five teachings converge as one,  
All faiths among humanity are acceptable.
Understanding the principle within,  
One will surely grow and become accomplished.
In the affairs of the world, avoid extremes; the same holds true for religious faith.
If one insists on stubbornness and resists change,  
One is destined to race toward the underworld in days to come.
This verse is shared among all human beings for mutual encouragement: integrating the five major religions of the world is indeed aimed at their future unification under the heavens five hundred years from now. However, for you within the Chongxin lineage, this integration has already been achieved, surpassing the general populace by five hundred years in time and space, thereby enhancing your cultivation through the fusion of the five religions!
Does this bring a faint sense of solace to everyone’s hearts? Does it also evoke a feeling of gratitude? Such a rare and profound opportunity for ascension and transcendence is truly scarce—cherish it well! Thank you all for accompanying us in our work today and for spending some time with the Chongxin lineage. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. Farewell for now!
## Emperor of the Void City God

gathering together in reverence all divine beings and enlightened souls.
Hearing the words of the sect leader,  
I lament having been born five centuries too soon.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the leader of the Three Pure Ones, has descended to compose the thirty-third chapter of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion. By integrating the five religions and selecting their respective strengths, this extraordinary affinity—without the Heavenly Venerable’s analysis, how could we comprehend its profound mysteries!
In the human world, it is certain that five hundred years of time could have been shortened long ago to attain enlightenment. How would you feel about this? There would be a faint sense of joy in your heart, and also a subtle sorrow for all sentient beings! As for the Chongxin lineage, it can be said that in the present moment, it has achieved the role of the "vanguard of the Great Dao."
We look forward to everyone joining in this earnest endeavor. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow! It has been heard from the Zen master that the realization of one's true nature, enlightenment, and attainment of fruition will be interconnected across seventy-two sessions, allowing everyone to comprehend the entirety of its essence. If you wish to uncover these treasures, come and join us! Thank you all, and farewell!

The sect's master, Lingbao Tianzun, is realized.
The True Buddha of the Great Way, Thirty-Fourth Chapter: Five Hundred Years Later, Religion Reaches Its Peak
Emotional religions blend together into one.
When sentient beings exist in the human world, they inevitably seek the fulfillment of daily necessities such as food and clothing, as well as spiritual faith to rely upon. Driven by these goals, humanity evolves toward greater advancement, and in doing so, transforms contemporary religious beliefs by eliminating those elements that are detrimental to all human beings.
It is merely a single religion; if that were the case, there would be relatively few disputes among the general public. However, extremists may use religion as a banner, declaring, "I sacrifice for the holy war!" Thus, among such individuals, there will inevitably be some who commit evil deeds in the name of religion.
It is "doing evil under the guise of good." Such individuals, who claim to be protectors of the five major religions within the vast universe, are in fact a relatively extreme group. The beliefs held by these human beings are by no means truly dedicated to safeguarding the teachings; rather, they use their own biased ideologies to influence the benevolent actions of these religions.
This is the necessity for human beings to refine themselves upon entering the realm of religious thought. It truthfully means that in the future, as humanity engages with singular religious ideologies, the extremism toward any one religious belief will be dissolved. For in the vast universe, every religion possesses its unique strengths, yet also has its shortcomings.
Five hundred years later, the integration of the five teachings reduced the scourge of war.
This perspective on the future of humanity is not merely about adhering to a single religious belief. Instead, it involves integrating the essence of the five major religions into a unified, benevolent faith. Such a broad, inclusive belief system, drawing from the wisdom of these five traditions, is less likely to become extreme or rigidly confined to the tenets of any single religion.
This kind of causal condition allows one to understand that the great virtue and compassion of Heaven are precisely as such! Regarding the integration of the five religions five hundred years later: this is how Heaven deals with all those in the human world who "create evil karma while doing good"—specifically, those who criticize and slander the excellence of other religions, often generating ignorance and evil karma in the midst of good deeds.
It is only natural for individuals to integrate their own thoughts and beliefs into their ideology, presenting what they hold as the supreme faith in the world. However, it is also right and proper to genuinely appreciate other religious beliefs. Those who "commit evil deeds in the name of good" in this world fail to realize that they have already created karma!
It is precisely because the fundamental understanding is lacking: Why do I have the shortcoming of "creating evil karma within goodness"? Therefore, it has allowed Heaven to bring about: the integration of all five major religions after five hundred years into one! This, for religious faith, represents a kind of benevolent elevation and transcendence.
The Unity of Religions Brings Great Blessings to Humanity
Thus, one can understand that five hundred years later, people will consider it a rather long span of time and space. However, from the perspective of the heavenly realm, it is merely five hundred days! This is in accordance with the decree of the divine: the future of humanity's technological civilization is set to benefit the upward growth of all beings, ushering in an era of flourishing technology!
However, in the realm of the unseen, calamities have persisted continuously over these four to five thousand years, accompanied by an accumulation of "invisible resentment." This resentment has inflicted cruel and malevolent deeds upon the human world. Thus, to advance the technological civilization of humanity, it is essential to elevate the unseen realm, fostering growth and transcendence—this is the true path forward.
Since the Zhou dynasty, and particularly after the "Investiture of the Gods," no era has undertaken to readjust and elevate the spiritual realm. Thus, the Heavenly Realm has held numerous councils, resolving to integrate all religions five hundred years into the future. For humanity, it is therefore essential to first settle the affairs of the spiritual realm.
Otherwise, humanity and all living beings would be unable to have a comfortable living space. This approach allows the intangible realm (including the underworld) to ascend and grow, while simultaneously elevating the growth of all intangible realms. In this way, the need for the intangible realm (encompassing the underworld) to undergo reformation in order to ascend and expand is reduced, creating mutual benefit for both the yin and yang realms. This is the true path!
Belief in religion must ascend and grow.
This is the compassionate virtue and grace bestowed by Heaven upon the Earthly Star, fostering growth that benefits both the realms of yin and yang. It allows all aspects of yin and yang to mutually assist, integrate, and achieve one another. This process not only benefits humanity and all living beings in the mortal world but also greatly aids the vast invisible realms, enabling them to ascend, elevate, and transcend.
It is through the virtue and grace of the Heavenly Will, descending to transform within the dual benefits of yin and yang in the human world, that growth is achieved! As for the five major teachings of the vast universe, why must they integrate with one another after five hundred years? This is precisely the great sacred mission entrusted by the Heavenly Will to the Chongxin lineage, to serve as the vanguard and "leading force" in this endeavor!
For the Chongxin Sect, this principle has long been clearly taught by the immortal and buddha teachers. Moreover, it has often allowed the Chongxin Sect to spread the great gospel of Shangcang among the five major religions of the world, benefiting the religious faith of all humanity. Thus, in the sacred mandate of Shangcang, the Chongxin Sect remains steadfastly committed to this principle.
The implementation concerning the integration of the Five Teachings of the Great Cosmos after five hundred years, particularly regarding the requirement for graduates of the Wuji Great Dao Academy to return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm for further refinement, is based on the necessity of integrating the Five Teachings of the Great Cosmos. This constitutes the current system for certifying enlightenment within the Wuji Great Dao Academy.
Religious faith is not about scheming against one another.
It is precisely under such exceptional conditions that the practice of integrating the five teachings is carried out. Correspondingly, every individual who returns to the Academy of the Limitless Heavenly Principle to study, regardless of whether they have attained a spiritual rank or not, is granted the status of "Bodhisattva" as an equal rank among heavenly lords and celestial maidens. It can be said that this is indeed the attainment of the "Bodhisattva rank"!
In this world, few truly understand: what is the difference between the teachings of a religion and the education of the common people? This can be clearly observed from this perspective! It is for this reason that the Wuji Da Dao Academy will see more scholars in the future advancing to higher levels of study, as the entire Di Ming Star, along with the Zhongtian Star System, is vast and boundless.
If there is no higher level, how can all human beings and intangible beings be enlightened? This includes all "ancient dynasty spirits," who must also ascend! It is essential to truthfully educate them on the essence within the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," as well as on the future technological civilization and the evolutionary process that human beings should undergo.
It is essential to educate both the yin and yang realms, as this aligns with the fundamental will of Heaven. Therefore, the Chongxin Sect has undertaken another vast and sacred mission! This reflects the sect's steadfast determination and a profound affirmation of "faith with purpose." All trials are inevitable, for without them, how could one discern whether the leaders are truly capable of bearing such a weighty responsibility?
Great Energy for the Growth of Human Well-being and Faith
Deeply moved! Through another severe trial of will, Master Lixin's steadfast determination has prevailed. While others believed the lineage of Chongxin would fade, it is precisely this unwavering resolve and perseverance, bolstered by Master Lixin and the powerful protection of all immortal and buddha teachers, that has shouldered such a weighty responsibility.
The Institute of the Great Way of Wuji has also been elevated to assume greater responsibilities, obligations, and rights in its educational curriculum. Today, we sincerely express gratitude to Master Li Xin Chan for his unwavering perseverance and steadfast resolve. Having faithfully endured the trials bestowed by Heaven over these years, he has now truly passed through them. Let us all applaud this achievement! This also marks another divine appointment by Heaven, entrusting the Chong Xin lineage with a significant mission.
Integration affirms the role of the Great Dao's vanguard in harmonizing the five teachings. In the future, Chongxin (renewed) will gather a multitude of virtuous and benevolent connections, who will truly return to Chongxin to join the ranks of propagating transformation. All virtuous students must reform their past habits, innate dispositions, and personalities through cultivation! Diligent efforts will yield achievements grounded in one's own progress.
The heavens temper and test to forge a vessel;  
Each must examine themselves through every trial.
Can one break through the predicament?  
Surely, the fruits of effort will nurture a vessel of achievement.
The five teachings converge in the human realm, transforming past animosities and grievances.
It is through trials and tribulations that one advances and transforms into an immortal.
This verse! Let it serve as mutual encouragement among all fellow human beings; by discerning the distinction between the trials bestowed by Heaven and the achievements attained, everything will become perfectly clear! This, through the lineage of Chongxin, shall serve as a foundation for genuine ascension and transcendence in the future! Thank you all for accompanying us in this work, and for your patience during our time together in the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!

May all be auspicious and well, and may the sacred duties be carried out with sincerity.
All holy Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Venerable Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Wuji Great Dao Academy has descended to compose the thirty-fourth chapter of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion. This marks the first presentation of the analysis on the integration of the five religions five hundred years from now. The subsequent chapters will continue according to this work.
It is essential to understand the insights revealed by the Heavenly Lord of Spiritual Treasures, the Supreme Venerable Lingbao, regarding the sacred mission and great undertaking of the Chongxin Lineage in the future. The future sacred duties of the Wuji Great Dao Academy and its cultivating scholars are beyond ordinary comparison. These will serve as the foundation for the merits and achievements of all cultivating scholars, offering great opportunities for them to elevate themselves through significant contributions. For now, we conclude here. Thank you all for your dedication. Farewell!

The True Buddha of the Great Dao, Chapter Thirty-Five: The Convergence of the Five Teachings Benefits All and Spreads Their Glory
The divine grace of Heaven harmonizes the religions of the mortal world.
When human beings enter the world, they develop needs for sustenance through the food chain as well as spiritual necessities. From the perspective of the human world, many people find the necessity for religious faith, which also propels the world toward greater advancement. Therefore, in the next five hundred years, all religious beliefs will become fully integrated!
It lies in the adherence to a kind of benevolent faith; such religious belief gives rise to many actions that benefit humanity and all living beings, genuinely aiding their survival and direction. In light of the necessity for future integration, it practically promotes the upward growth and elevation of humanity and all beings within the Earthly Nether Star System.
Having explored the essence of all religions, rather than focusing on just one, humanity elevates and expands through spiritual faith, achieving greater growth and ascension. From the perspective of all sentient beings, this brings far greater benefits than the opportunities afforded by past circumstances.
Integration of the Five Religions: This is truly of great benefit to humanity and all beings, elevating the essence of the five religions to new heights! In times past, there were many religious wars, especially those waged under the banner of "holy war." How could sacrificing precious individual lives ever contribute to the advancement of religious peace? For all religious faiths, this represents a profoundly benevolent endeavor.
Every religion has its strengths and weaknesses.
In the present era, if we genuinely dissolve the religious barriers of the past, this approach to all future faiths in the human world will allow humanity to explore the essence of the five major religions and incorporate the strengths of each into their own integration. This is what past generations needed to understand by experiencing the merits and shortcomings of every religion.
Now, those who have broken away from the exclusive loyalty to a single religious faith have also seen a significant reduction in extremists who once advocated "holy war" as a sacrifice for religion. By embracing the various strengths and weaknesses of the five major religions, it becomes clear that this has been a profoundly positive elevation for my present life, benefiting all sentient beings and humanity.
This kind of cause and effect is thus: it also involves taking what was once extremely difficult to express fully through all human religious beliefs, which created barriers and obstacles between humanity and religion, and further involves rectifying, transforming, and mutually perfecting all past deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors, thereby reconciling the differences left unresolved across time and space.
This perspective on worldly faith can mitigate the claims made by certain radical elements within religions, who assert: "I sacrifice for 'holy war'!" Thus, while religious faith should inherently be upheld with loyalty, in today's era, it fundamentally fails to comprehend the harmonious integration of human beliefs.
The integration of the five teachings greatly benefits all humanity and living beings.
Regarding the necessity of both a single religious faith and the integration of the five major faiths, it becomes clear that humanity will inevitably experience an increase in goodness. This will genuinely elevate and return human society to a more transcendent state. Such conditions, previously unattainable throughout history, can now be realized and surpassed within a single lifetime through this very cause and opportunity.
It is precisely through the evolution of humanity that my present existence becomes necessary! By engaging in religious faith, humanity can dissolve the ignorance of its past. This approach brings "more benefit than harm," for it is said: human beings inherently require repeated cycles across lifetimes, sustained by the perseverance of religious faith.
This will significantly reduce the emergence of many drawbacks. It can be said that the conditions of faith that benefit humanity and all beings will also lead them toward a more sublime elevation. In this way, by integrating the five major religions, the "benefits outweigh the drawbacks," and it greatly benefits humanity and all beings, enabling them to grow, elevate, and transcend within a single lifetime!
The grace of Heaven nourishes humanity, fostering growth through the ages.
Five hundred years later, the necessity of religious integration! It cannot be said that religious wars in the human world have not occurred in the past. Throughout various dynasties, each religion sought to surpass the others, leading to religious wars across different eras. This phenomenon was evident not only in the Central Plains and the Western Regions but also in the Western world.
The divine providence views all religions in the world, including the one I now believe in, as the foremost in the world. To illustrate whether such a foremost status can be compared: by integrating the five major religions, it would become much easier to master the specialized knowledge of many faiths. It can be said that, in this way, there is absolutely no favoritism toward any particular religion over another.
In the world of humanity, there arises the following: In relation to all religious beliefs, which originally stem from the same universal source, how can distinctions such as mine, yours, his, or others' be made? Can such a religious belief in the unity of all under heaven enhance the understanding that "I" can greatly benefit in the present moment, and also elevate it through the knowledge I have acquired?
Religious integration is what should have been.
To achieve the essence of religious faith, and since all religions ultimately originate from a single source, how can human beings be divided? To me, I am the greatest in the world; are only your parents truly parents? They are indeed great! In that case, does your family have no relatives such as uncles, aunts, or cousins?
Is it only your own parents who are the greatest, while the parents of all these other relatives are not as great? One can thus understand the Confucian teaching: "Do not only treat your own parents as parents, nor only your own children as children"—a vision of the world that embraces all. From this arises a spirit of mutual integration, mutual admiration, and mutual support among the five major teachings across the globe.
For future generations of humanity, the true path lies in embracing a comprehensive understanding of all religions! This is also the way to elevate human society toward a broader cosmic realm. This is precisely how the Divine, through the five major religions of the world, benevolently guides all sentient beings: to transcend, return, and achieve ultimate fulfillment.
The five teachings converge into one family,  
With virtue guiding humanity's moral journey.
Future achievements lie in returning to the source, transcending the flaws and obstacles of the human world.
Various conditions manifest to show the way,  
Thus arise favorable and virtuous causes.
Rising to face the faith I hold dear,  
Growing and ascending back to the Heavenly Principle.
This verse is shared with all fellow human beings for mutual encouragement; by integrating the strengths of the five major religions in the world and manifesting them as the essence of a unified faith, one can achieve greater growth and transcendence than by adhering to a single religion alone! Well, thank you all for accompanying me in this work and for spending this time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!

The Sovereign Emperor of the Void City God ascends,  
Gathering together all virtuous beings of sentience.
May all be auspicious and well;  
Achievement and elevation rely on self-realization.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the teachings are personally delivered by the Supreme Lord of Daoism, the Celestial Worthy of Virtue, to analyze the original intent behind the integration of the five religions and the great benefit it brings to all beings. The aim is to help everyone understand the ideological perspectives of individual religions, as well as the elevated benefits gained through the integration of the five religions.
This is not something that ordinary individuals can comprehend, nor is it a principle that the general public can grasp. Why does Heaven seek to integrate the five religions, merging them into a unified concept for growth? It is precisely to break through the ignorance and obstacles of adhering to a single religious belief, and fundamentally to understand: how to dissolve the delusions within one's own faith!
This is the great benevolence and compassion bestowed by Heaven upon all faithful beings of humanity! The era of the True Buddha of the Great Dao is gradually approaching its conclusion, and it is essential to make timely preparations—this is the wisest course of action. Tomorrow is Wednesday once again, and all guidance and salvation will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will join together in growth and progress! Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!

Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, Virtuous and Boundless in Connections,
Speaks the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei.
The Thirty-Sixth Return of the True Buddha of the Great Way: The Blending of All Teachings Extinguishes Conflict
When humanity enters into the realms of existence and faith, individuals naturally initiate the religious beliefs they aspire to and lend their support to these religions. This, in itself, is originally beyond reproach. However, for some more radical religious adherents, it often manifests in rather extreme behaviors and rhetoric.
Consequently, this gives rise to mutual attacks among different religions. From the perspective of such more radical elements, this is precisely "creating evil karma within goodness"! For those who take religious faith as their foundation, it should be clear that such actions are highly undesirable and will inevitably lead to numerous disputes in the future.
If one considers their own religion to be the foremost in the world, it is understandable when there is no basis for comparison. However, in such circumstances, should humanity not adopt a more objective and fair perspective, affirming oneself while also appreciating others? In the mutual understanding of religious beliefs, a more harmonious approach is preferable.
If one can admire the religions that others believe in while holding one's own faith, then these beliefs can be integrated harmoniously. This is an action affirmed by Heaven. If, however, one elevates oneself while slandering others, then for you, religion does not teach such a concept: affirming oneself while rejecting others.
Various religions and the five major faiths merge and harmonize, collectively offering praise.
Transforming into the very evil karma one has created, how can one hold any affirmation or admiration for oneself? This must be manifested truthfully in the human world, leading to the integration of the five teachings, which can transform and avert many of humanity's wars and calamities. This is precisely why, in this era, the Heavens have decreed the necessity of integrating all religions in the human world!
The essence of the five teachings, when applied to human society, reveals the strengths and weaknesses of various religions. It truthfully identifies their virtues to foster growth and eliminates their shortcomings. If such practices are adopted, it will lead to mutual integration within the global village (the Earth).
Nor will it be disrupted by the reckless actions of radicals, thereby undermining the unity and harmony of all humanity. It is essential to understand that "if the five religions unite, there will be fewer conflicts in the world; if they do not unite, conflicts will arise." If such distrust and rejection of religious beliefs were directed at you, how would you feel?
Regarding the divine decree that all future religions and the five major faiths must integrate with one another! It is essential for the beliefs and spiritual foundations of all humanity to evolve upward. At the same time, each individual's faith should serve to dissolve the barriers between people, elevating all human beings through benevolent religious beliefs.
The great integration of the strengths of all religions benefits faith.
It integrates the strengths of the five major religions while transforming their respective shortcomings. Particularly in the present era, all religious conflicts in the human world stem from differing individual perspectives, and there is no way to resolve such disputes. In this process of transformation, humanity and all living beings are ultimately benefited by the compassionate grace and virtue of Heaven.
The manifestations in response to future technological civilizations, as well as the creation of such civilizations, are aimed at transforming all calamities through the mutual fulfillment within the global village. This will greatly benefit all sentient beings of humanity, enabling the transformation of obstacles in religious beliefs that have existed among different human communities across various dynasties in the past.
From this perspective, the primary foundation of faith for humanity lies in mutual fulfillment, mutual integration, and mutual admiration. If this can be achieved, it will serve as the educational cause of the Heavenly Mandate in the mortal realm, capable of transforming and dissolving many religious conflicts among humankind. This is the true path!
For all human beings, this will foster virtuous and favorable conditions for survival and reliance, while also presenting the necessity for genuine upward growth through the future scriptures of the Five Teachings. Only then can humanity greatly reduce the conflicts, strife, and acts of slaughter, and come to understand why the Heavens seek to integrate the Five Teachings.
Each religion, as well as the integration of the Five Teachings, carries its own divine mandate to descend and transform the world.
In fact, in the present era, some religious figures have already been divinely appointed to descend to the mortal world, responding to the call for the harmonious integration of the five major religions. However, due to the constraints of time and circumstances, no official decree from Heaven has yet been formally promulgated in the mortal realm. Such a rare and auspicious celestial opportunity is exceedingly scarce in the human world, but it is certain to become more common in the future.
Only the Chongxin Sect, through the dissemination of thirty-six volumes of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," has been chosen once again to undertake the extraordinary mission of descending to fulfill the great mandate of Heaven. Each volume conveys the true principles of the universe, elucidating the profound meaning of how the heavens operate and the earth functions, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
The cultivation students of the Chongxin Sect lineage, who have been guided to return to the "Wuji Heavenly Realm," have also been entrusted with an extraordinary mission of immense significance. This has granted them the blessed affinity to "proclaim the teachings of Heaven and embody the way of Heaven." It is through the Chongxin Sect lineage's steadfast dedication and nineteen years of earnest effort that such a sacred duty and mission have been realized today.
Integration and Transcendence of All Religions and the Five Teachings
The Integration of the Five Religions: It is certain to resolve the conflicts among religions. This is precisely the mission of the Supreme Heaven, aimed at the four hundred million Buddhist disciples and the ninety-two original spiritual beings in their growth. Only by steadfastly enduring this extraordinary affinity can one truly say, "Each barrier is difficult to overcome, yet each barrier is overcome." This entails deeply ingrained, heart-wrenching trials and tribulations!
In this world, it is precisely through such conditions that one takes each step firmly, leaving solid footprints at every turn. If everything were made too easy for you, who knows how far astray everyone might have wandered? They would have long been eliminated from the game! I am moved by the arduous efforts of the Chongxin lineage over these 18 years, gradually approaching the 19th year of its dedicated cultivation.
It allows oneself to pass through moments of profound intensity step by step, and to grow amidst each subsequent step of hardship. In this way, the Heavens do not regard or guide the teachings and disciples of the Chongxin lineage as mere humans. Oh! If not as humans, then how? They teach all learners and disciples as if they were immortals and buddhas!
The Heavens affirm and commend the Chongxin Sect lineage.
In this human world, is there something truly worthy of affirmation and profoundly genuine? It is precisely this authenticity that becomes the foundation for future achievements, genuinely transforming all issues of the human realm. Especially in the ultimate sacred mission—the integration of the Five Teachings and all religions, resolving conflicts and disputes—it is through the practice of the Chongxin lineage that such a sacred mission descends to the human world!
Thus, it is hoped that everyone will strive together! Regarding the "Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association," at this time and space, 36 volumes of works have been completed. From now on, it is up to all of you to work diligently. Reflect on the sacred missions of the past—have they been forgotten? Let us gather these experiences, examine our shortcomings, and improve upon them!
Regarding the future return to virtuous causes, there will be genuine assistance. It is also hoped that you can pass this down from predecessors to successors, generation after generation, perpetuating it eternally. This is the true and proper path, as well as the aspiration of the Heavenly Lord and all celestial immortals and enlightened teachers! As for the promotion and dissemination of the Chongxin lineage, it greatly benefits all sentient beings.
Never forget to work diligently; always strive to be diligent in ordinary times.
Do not neglect your duties,  
and in the future you are sure to become accomplished.
The Great Way flourishes, harmonizing all teachings;  
The True Buddha advocates, inviting all to perfection.
Step by step, moving forward, one will spread virtue and grace far and wide.
This verse is shared among fellow human beings to encourage one another; to entrust the responsibilities of the Heavenly Realm to the Chongxin lineage, reaffirming this to everyone once more, and indeed, it is truly worthy of benevolent promotion! Moreover, such a rare and auspicious condition of affinity serves as the foundation for one's own dedication; you have worked hard, and though I have troubled Chongxin for a time, let us meet again, everyone!

Completion of the Work, Submission of the Book
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, has personally descended to compose the thirty-sixth chapter of "The True Buddha Heart Religion of the Great Dao," aiming to integrate the five religions, resolve conflicts, and alleviate many disputes and calamities for the sentient beings of the future.
This integration of the five teachings has also been a remarkable affinity that the Heaven has consistently nurtured through all the teachings of the Chongxin lineage. Now, by decreeing the mandate to promote the Chongxin lineage, it affirms all the deities, Buddhas, and disciples of Chongxin. This will also enable the cultivating scholars of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" to achieve considerable future accomplishments and merits.
This is also aimed at all future religions, which will yield benevolent outcomes, capable of resolving many religious conflicts and wars for sentient beings. This represents a great responsibility entrusted by the Heavenly Realm to the human world, and we are grateful for the Heavenly Realm’s affirmation and the continuous benevolent blessings bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage.
The ability to present the future as it truly is has been formally decreed by the praise bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage by the heavenly immortals and buddhas. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance and salvation will proceed as usual. It is also an auspicious day for the Zen Master to teach. Let us all come together to uncover treasures! Thank you for your hard work. Farewell for now!

Ancient Buddha Descends to Inscribe a Postscript—Rejoice, the Great Way's True Buddha Aids Humanity's Attainment
Postscript I: Congratulations and Felicitations
Preface to the True Buddha of the Great Dao: A Congratulatory Celebration
The attainment of the Great Dao: It takes the human world within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star as its foundational point, and regards livelihood and spiritual cultivation as the primary karmic roots for all humanity. This relies on the sustenance of life by sentient beings, thereby enabling all religious faiths to ascend and flourish!
However, sentient beings, amidst the conditions that nurture life, often find themselves unable to practice according to the ancient scriptures. Instead, they merely enter into religious faith, relying only on a form of support and protection. If one wishes to truly and deeply penetrate the treasury of scriptures as they are, it is likely not something one can attain simply by desiring it; it requires the right conditions.
This is because for all human beings, relying on a form of religious support and guidance is essential. However, when it comes to entering into religious faith and sustaining one's livelihood, the latter takes precedence. How can this be explained? Because in the daily lives of human beings, the conditions for sustaining livelihood are placed first!
This is originally something beyond reproach. If one relies on religious faith for spiritual elevation, it may not necessarily lead to complete enlightenment. Viewed from this perspective, there exists an orientation shaped by past circumstances and conditions. Thus, it is only when the pursuit of livelihood and the cultivation of faith are deeply interconnected that one can avoid becoming detached from the actions and affairs of the human world.
All Affirmations of the Xinzong Religious Society
Every individual, through faith and nurturing life, supports and complements one another in their upward growth. However, for all religious beliefs in the human world, to truly penetrate their profound depths, it is not merely a matter of superficial understanding. One must grasp the underlying principles and origins—only then can the veils of confusion be dispelled!
Therefore, when it comes to religious faith, many human beings find it difficult to penetrate its profound depths and fail to grasp its inner principles in a way that allows them to draw inferences from one instance. This is precisely what one must comprehend through the chain of understanding that arises from faith in religion within the human world, thereby gaining insight into all that is needed in this earthly existence.
Many of these teachings are imparted by the Heavenly Realm precisely through the classics of the human world, which are described as elevating and enhancing. This truthfully demonstrates to humanity the necessity of placing oneself on a path of upward growth, thereby creating opportunities for greater development in the present era.
Therefore, for all human beings, it is the true path to advance both faith in religion and the nourishment of life in parallel. By genuinely dissolving the ignorance of the past, we can now apply the essence imparted by the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," which embodies the compassionate grace of Heaven.
It has also involved celestial beings and immortal Buddhas traversing thousands of miles through the clouds to descend upon the Chongxin lineage, creating all the extraordinary conditions of affinity. This is the grace bestowed by the Heavenly Realm and the celestial beings and immortal Buddhas, enabling sentient beings to ascend and grow, ultimately gaining tangible benefits and true rewards for themselves—this is the righteous path!
A sublime cause descends upon the Chongxin,  
Yet the provisions of the mortal realm demand great care.
Step by step, leaving a solid footprint,  
Steadfastly returning, advancing toward the heavens.

Postscript II: In Praise
The Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association
The Grand Dao's expansive transformation: it requires substantial growth to inspire the awakening of one's inherent nature. For humanity's multitude of beings across different religious beliefs, without employing the Buddhist "theory of consciousness-only," any attempt to ascend and progress will inevitably result in numerous deficiencies. Why is this so?
It is also because in daily life, human beings constantly apply the specialized principles of "Consciousness-Only" at every moment and every second, regardless of any religious affiliation. If one fails to discern the essence of "Consciousness-Only," it may lead to many difficulties that are hard to transcend. This is precisely why it is necessary to integrate the five major religions in the human world.
It can thus ascend and grow, meaning that for all human beings in their daily lives, it is precisely so! In every action and every matter, it will absolutely align with the "Consciousness-Only" teachings, mutually supporting each other as a necessity. Therefore, for all human beings, if they are within other religions, it is merely a matter of loyal and steadfast support!
Fundamentally, it is impossible to discern: every action and movement of human beings is absolutely interconnected with the contact and linkage of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. This is precisely why the Heavenly Realm established the Chongxin Sect and commissioned the writing of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts"! How should I evolve in this lifetime? And how can I truly benefit?
How to Promote the True Buddha Heart School
The true Buddha: takes teaching as its foundation. Without teaching, how can sentient beings understand that all orientations in daily life stem from my actions, and that the "activation of intention" is interconnected with the inner "manas consciousness"? It is essential to discern whether to engage with it or not.
Furthermore, in the transmission of the "Ālāyavijñāna" (storehouse consciousness), it can be understood: humanity, through its own actions and deeds, ascends and grows within the "Amalavijñāna" (immaculate consciousness), thereby enabling sentient beings to enter a more transcendent manifestation. Thus, the Heavens have initiated the Chongxin Sect, establishing the karmic conditions for the teachings of the True Buddha Heart of the Great Dao, to be practiced and upheld within the human world!
Without discrimination towards any religious faith, one can truly attain enlightenment regarding the arising of thoughts and the experience of cause, condition, and effect. Only then can the Five Religions and various faiths be genuinely integrated. For the achievements of the next five hundred years, there will surely be numerous virtuous connections to delve into the specialized study of "New Consciousness-Only Theory."
To have a true connection with me, it should be through the teaching that is "solely for all beings, not for oneself"—this is what is genuine and real! In the future, after the integration of religions, it should be applied to all true and real natures to achieve a more transcendent elevation, with return as the fundamental principle. This benefits both oneself and all beings.

Transforms Calamities into Blessings and Spreads Them Far and Wide
Postscript Three: Preface
The Teachings of the Great Dao Lineage
The Great Dao: its propagation and promotion are carried out by each religion to integrate the teachings of the Supreme Heaven across all five faiths. In the human world today, religions are divided into sects, but the Supreme Heaven makes no such distinctions, genuinely blending all religions and the five faiths into one.
Regarding the future of religions, the conflicts and all the calamities brought about by various faiths will be resolved. This will genuinely transform religious beliefs into a state of harmony. In the current era, through the widespread reach of the "internet," it becomes possible to discern the strengths, weaknesses, merits, and shortcomings of each religious denomination.
It is precisely for the sake of all sentient beings that one can instantly comprehend the essence within, and truthfully rectify all deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors. This is why the Divine, in relation to all religions, will inevitably manifest in the future era of technological civilization. Should it spiral out of control, it would undoubtedly bring great peril to humanity and all other beings.
The true Buddha manifests and ascends in growth.
The teachings of the True Buddha School: they are precisely propagated outward from the Chongxin lineage. This concept also unites all like-minded religious believers across the world to mutually support one another. Moreover, for the future of humanity and all beings, the integration of religions is essential, and the strengths of each faith should be genuinely promoted.
Moreover, it can even eliminate shortcomings before they manifest. This approach to the future of humanity makes it easier to grasp its profound essence, transforming and elevating the human world. Precisely because this upward growth represents an exceptionally noble transcendence, how can one genuinely elevate oneself? It is essential to take personal responsibility and strive diligently!
Therefore, Providence, in its foresight, has taken measures to resolve the potential issues that may arise among future human beings. It has spared no effort in integrating all religions across the entire Earthly Nether Star System, including the unification of the Five Great Teachings of the vast cosmos, to promote the fulfillment of each religion. This provides a harmonious existence for sentient human beings and transforms the future scourge of religious conflict.

◆ Postfaces & Praises ◆
跋、凡例
Namo Buddha of the Void, Humanity, and Heaven,  
The highest virtue of teaching and transformation is found within oneself.
General Principles of the Great Way and True Buddha  
Expounding the Celestial Sound as the Framework
Editorial Notes
I. The Vast Transformation of the Great Dao: Among the many extraordinary opportunities, it can truly foster growth in the interactions among sentient human beings. This necessitates the integration of the five teachings, and it also means genuinely placing oneself in a state of thoroughly understanding past ignorance, discerning all present shortcomings and deficiencies, and thereby transforming and eliminating them.
II. The Accomplishment of the Great Dao Practitioners: In the human realm, it is relatively insufficient to merely resemble the extraordinary affinities of the Chongxin Sect lineage. Instead, through the innate wisdom contained within the Principal of Reason and Writing, it is brought down to benefit and nurture sentient beings. This, within the human realm, targets the training processes of all religions, enabling them to obtain the abundant resources and sustenance from the Heavens. Furthermore, it faithfully disseminates the celestial teachings of the future, allowing benefits to be realized in the present moment!
III. The Realization of a True Buddha: It is the ability to transcend the spatial realm of the Earth and the underworld that is considered an achievement! This extraordinary opportunity arises precisely from one’s immediate, genuine comprehension of the source of nourishment bestowed by Heaven, which fosters growth. It is not something to be attained only in the future. For many human beings, growth occurs in the present moment, rather than being deferred to the future. Only then does the opportunity for genuine progress and upward advancement emerge.
IV. The Transcendence of the True Buddha: It is through the self that one can comprehend the entire path of practice undertaken by the immortal Buddhas and teachers—how it was in the past, and how it is in the present. The circumstances of time and space have already changed, making it impossible to compare with former eras. Therefore, the elevation of the True Buddha is made possible by the extraordinary affinity of the Supreme Heaven and the immortal Buddhas and teachers, who tirelessly traverse vast distances to impart their teachings.
V. The Expansion of the Heart School:  
Since everyone has the potential to attain higher achievements, the teachings of the Heart School serve as an exceptionally profound and superior training course. The question remains: can sentient beings comprehend the underlying principles and methods? Therefore, the Heart School emphasizes the manifestation of inner clarity and enlightenment, rather than allowing ignorance to obstruct one’s progress. It is through the dedicated guidance of celestial immortals and buddhas that this teaching is fully imparted.
VI. The Realization of the Mind Sect: The human world is constituted by the convergence of various classics. As for the primary karmic points within each individual's nature, how should one genuinely transform and evolve toward a clear understanding of all classics, rather than remaining confined by what is dispensable? For every seeker aspiring to ascend, grow, and transcend, there is much to be gained for personal development. By reshaping each spatiotemporal karmic condition, one may access many exceptional circumstances previously absent in past times and spaces, thereby achieving elevation and transcendence.
VII. The Necessity of the Church: The church exists to teach, for without teaching, there would be no learning. It is a gathering of all in one space, where celestial immortals and buddhas descend as teachers to impart teachings. Just as each individual, through the guidance of every buddha and revered one, finds the necessity for personal elevation and growth, so too does the church truthfully convey the teachings of cause and condition to all. Only in this way can one genuinely comprehend the subtleties and insights within, attaining true enlightenment.
VIII. The Assembly of the Church: This arises from the necessity of an educational curriculum that transcends worldly understanding. It cannot be measured in terms of return on investment, for it embodies the compassion of the Heavenly Divine toward all humanity, offering everyone an opportunity for fairness and equality. Through the Church, all are taught to comprehend the original intent of the Heavenly Divine. Thus, in the human world, the value of this educational curriculum must never be calculated by its material returns.
IX. The Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association: It genuinely elevates and transcends humanity in a manner that is profoundly true to reality. This involves utilizing the exceptional achievements of the Chongxin lineage's works over the past eighteen years to propagate and expand the teachings for the benefit of all sentient beings. It also faithfully establishes the "New Three Bonds" as correct principles for humanity, which include: 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. Furthermore, it earnestly analyzes the "True Meaning of the Operation of Heaven and Earth," enabling everyone to transition from a state of non-action into a greater, genuine non-action, which is the true path!
X. The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association: Over the course of eighteen years, the Chongxin Lineage has endured exceptionally rigorous trials bestowed by the Heavenly Realm. Step by step, time after time, and through each remarkable opportunity, the Chongxin Lineage has genuinely passed every assessment set by the Heavenly Realm. Although this process was profoundly arduous, it was also profoundly truthful, enabling them to overcome each trial. Particularly, through the decree of the Venerable Tongtian Jiaozhu, Lingbao Great Heavenly Lord of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, the Chongxin Lineage has achieved the extraordinary integration of the five teachings. This has allowed all cultivating scholars within the academy to more truthfully assess their own merits, accomplishing the "Bodhisattva Fruit Position" and faithfully accumulating their achievements in the Celestial Register. This is truly a cause for celebration and congratulations!
Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, the Virtuous One of Heaven and Humanity, who descended to establish the sacred tradition of the Confucian Teaching.

The True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Way  
An Era of Virtuous Intent in the Fusion of the Five Teachings
Good evening, everyone! Today marks another auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Sect, as we once again receive the divine decree from Heaven and complete the submission of the sacred texts. It brings immense joy and solace to our sect that we have been able to fulfill Heaven’s mission volume by volume. Over these nineteen years, we have gradually completed the entire series, comprising thirty-eight volumes, and now we have finished the work and submitted it in accordance with the divine will.
This is a joyous and commendable achievement, accomplished through the unwavering determination and perseverance of all deities, Buddhas, students, and disciples of the Chongxin Sect in fulfilling the virtuous intentions of Heaven. The time has now come. It is appropriate to respectfully dispatch the Chongxin Sect’s Celestial Venerables of Void Transmission, Void Inscription, and Void Dragon Soaring to a distance of thirty li, to reverently receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji and proclaim it in the hall.
Second Command Dispatch: Immortal Maiden of the Void Rainbow, Immortal Maiden of the Void Colored Spirit, and Immortal Maiden of the Void Colored Crane shall proceed twenty li beyond to reverently receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji, which shall be proclaimed in the hall. All other deities, Buddhas, disciples, as well as the cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, shall line up in order to await the arrival, maintaining proper decorum without lapse. Your master now withdraws!

The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the sacred realm of the Heavenly Principle, overlooking the vast expanse of the earthly and celestial spheres. With utmost dedication, She exerts all efforts in the moral and ethical cultivation of humanity, hoping to achieve truly virtuous and effective outcomes. Relying on this very opportunity and condition, the principles governing human society can advance toward a more benevolent technological civilization, benefiting all sentient beings.
The celestial texts of the "Five Teachings of the Great Dao" have been disseminated and their mission accomplished. Through the celestial scriptures of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion Association, belonging to the Chongxin lineage, the opportunity for propagation and guidance has been fulfilled. Now that this task is complete, it is appropriate to return to the Wuji Heavenly Realm to report the accomplishment. The unwavering determination of the Chongxin lineage in achieving this is truly admirable.
Regarding the works compiled in each volume and period, no compromises are made whatsoever. Such steadfast determination and perseverance are truly commendable and worthy of praise. It is fitting to reward the deities and buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, each with an additional five grades of merit. Furthermore, all students and disciples shall be awarded three thousand major merits, with full attendance as the standard; those who fall short shall receive half.
Furthermore, by utilizing all functional benefits to facilitate the true propagation and salvation of the Chongxin lineage, it is the righteous path to extend one's own efforts outward in promotion and dissemination! Additionally, by decree, Feiqiong Xiangu is commanded to reverently bring three vessels of Wuji Qiongjiang nectar to be added into the tea of the Chongxin lineage, thereby aiding in resolving the many afflictions of ignorance that disturb the human world.
This also aims at the mutual fulfillment and elevation of external spiritual beings, which is something that the Chongxin Sect should vigorously promote in the year of Yiwei.
Firm determination to fulfill the sacred mission is worthy of reaffirmation.

Aha! I am truly delighted and gratified for the lineage of the Great Dao True Buddha Heart Sect of Sister Immortal Ma and Sister Immortal Jiutian Xuannv—this is exceedingly rare in the mortal world! Today, the Wuji Imperial Decree has been proclaimed; time is limited, and it is not suitable to linger. I shall return another time to trouble you all again. Thank you for your hard work, farewell! (Respectfully escorting the return to heaven, firecrackers sound.)
Lord Wenhang, Chairman of Chongxin,  
His teachings in the void are as they should be.
The Volume of the True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao  
Completed and submitted, a greater joy fills the heart.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today marks another auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Sect, as we have once again completed and submitted the sacred texts. This will surely advance the future propagation of the Chongxin teachings in a genuine and proper manner. We have just reverently received and concluded the proclamation of the Wuji Sacred Decree, and we are deeply grateful for the benevolent virtue of the Mother Goddess.
It is proper to once again reverently receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven, which is to be bestowed and proclaimed. Such merit is worthy of affirmation and also adds many favorable affinities to the Chongxin Sect lineage. The time has now come. The Chongxin Sect lineage is commanded to dispatch three venerables—the Bodhisattva of Wisdom from the Void, the Goddess of Childbirth from the Void, and the Bodhisattva of Universal Virtue from the Void—to a distance of twenty li, to reverently receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven and bring it to the hall for proclamation.
By the second decree, dispatch the three deities of our lineage—the Imperial Lord of the City God in the Void, the True Lord of Fate in the Void, and the Imperial Lord of Culture and Literature in the Void—to ten li beyond to reverently receive the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven and bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other deities, Buddhas, students, as well as the cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, shall line up in order to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of etiquette! Your master now withdraws!

Today, with reverence, the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven descends upon the Chongxin Lineage to proclaim: Each time we witness the immense merits of Chongxin's diligent efforts, we feel profound celebration and admiration! Seizing this moment in time to announce the Jade Decree, we gather together with all the sages and buddhas of the Chongxin Lineage, sharing in this great honor. The moment has arrived—the Jade Decree is now to be read, with deities and humanity bowing in reverence!

The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystic Radiance and High God, proclaims by His Jade Decree:
I, the supreme sovereign of the Nine-Five, have found it essential in the educational and enlightening courses for the human world that the Heavens can rely upon—namely, the completion and submission of the thirty-eight volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" authored by the Chongxin Sect. This truly merits the highest praise and affirmation for the Chongxin Sect!
From the perspective of the Confucian tradition and the sacred teachings, this represents the extraordinary affinity of the first encounter. It also reflects the effective guidance of the sages, buddhas, and teachers of the Chongxin lineage, which is worthy of affirmation as "strict teachers produce outstanding disciples." This is due to the rigorous instruction of the heavenly immortals and buddhas, as well as the ability of the leader to genuinely endure the hardships and trials of these three years, making the journey all the more arduous and commendable.
Those who are chosen by Heaven for the sacred tasks are by no means merely undertaking minor duties. They are tasked with promoting and spreading the unique significance of the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association," also known as the "Great Dao Five Religions," in order to reduce future conflicts among religions in the human world. It is through the "Great Dao Series of Heavenly Books" that such a level of dissemination can be achieved.
Through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, the integration of the Five Teachings of the Great Dao from the Heavenly Realm has been undertaken—a sacred task of immense difficulty. For the future achievements of the scholars studying at the "Wuji Great Dao Academy," this represents a highly commendable and elevated educational opportunity. Such educational conditions are worthy of affirmation and celebration, and indeed deserve full recognition
It is appropriate to reward all sages and buddhas of the Chongxin Sect lineage with five additional merit ranks, and likewise reward all disciples of the Chongxin Sect lineage with five additional merit ranks. Those with full attendance shall receive them in full, while those with insufficient attendance shall receive half, and so forth. This is the highest affirmation from Heaven for the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religion Association," recognizing its extraordinary educational curriculum and its truly virtuous merits.
The firm resolve has been established; do not slacken or neglect. Go forth to propagate and promote.

On the twenty-sixth day of the Plum Blossom Month, during the Xu hour, in the year Yiyiwei of the Tianyun cycle.
Alas! It is truly a rare and precious honor for Chongxin to receive such a distinguished karmic opportunity. To be taught by the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage is an exceedingly rare chance in the human realm, one that upholds the principle that "strict teachers produce outstanding disciples." Due to the time constraints of this decree, we shall take our leave for now and return another day. Farewell, everyone! (Respectfully returning to the heavens, with ceremonial firecrackers.)
Chairman Jiang Taigong of the Second Branch  
Ascends the stage to joyfully welcome this reunion.
The Sacred Volume of the True Buddha Heart of the Great Way  
Has been completed and submitted to fulfill the divine decree.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Sacred Decree descended from Wuji and the Jade Edict bestowed by the Heavenly Court have both been promulgated. Regarding the Chongxin lineage, it is essential to follow the teaching of the Immortals and Buddhas: "A strict teacher produces outstanding disciples." This will propel the entire Chongxin lineage toward greater propagation and flourishing.
As recorded in the celestial texts of the "Great Way Five Religions" – the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Society" – within the universe, there exists a fusion of the Great Way Five Religions. Furthermore, for the 500 years to come, it aims to eliminate conflicts among religions. This is established as a profoundly benevolent merit for all living beings in the human world.
In the future, the field of learning and education will also complement the "Wuji Dadao Academy," facilitating the advancement of all teaching masters. This condition is equivalent to the Buddhist "Bodhisattva stages" and can also be described as the educational cause and condition of the Bodhisattva stages. This is essential for the Chongxin lineage. In the next phase, new spirit-writing students will be trained for the implementation of sacred duties. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
