Dadao Series — Book 39
English Edition · 大道宇宙
◆ Prefaces ◆
The myriad stars unfold the elevation of all spirits. For sentient beings in the world of survival, this gives rise to the manifestation of three interconnected chains: the food chain, the chain of affairs, and the currency chain. Together, these constitute the three essential elements of human existence, lending richness and diversity to worldly behaviors, all of which serve as vehicles for one’s own survival and elevation.
And one can discern: whether within myself, I have connected through the human nature, giving rise to a kind of virtuous nature. This virtuous nature can be spoken of as good nature, benevolent nature, moral nature, humane nature, innate nature, or Buddha nature—all these various natures. Yet it already manifests as a blend of: habitual nature, ingrained nature, inherent nature, individual nature, evil nature, and demonic nature.
The principles of Consciousness-Only studies benefit the growth of all sentient beings, and humanity must elevate the "truth of Consciousness-Only studies." This is by no means an issue that the general public can easily comprehend. Precisely because humanity seeks genuine elevation, it requires a true spiritual nourishment for upward cultivation. Therefore, from the perspective of nurturing life in the human world, this is absolutely essential!
Due to this necessity, the obscurations of past ignorance are gradually dissolved. Moreover, why is it that most people in the world, regardless of their religious beliefs, merely adhere to their present practices without understanding why humanity requires the process of cultivating the "principles of Consciousness-Only"?
Why then does Heaven seek to integrate the five major religions as a whole? It is precisely so that followers of different faiths may genuinely enter into what humanity has long understood in function yet failed to fully comprehend, distinguishing among its various forms—indeed, what every human being has already applied in daily life as essential for existence.
After sentient beings enter the human world, many will encounter ideas and concepts that greatly deviate from their own, leading to significant behavioral discrepancies. Under such conditions of cause and effect, even when observing the same matter, it can give rise to differences in the nature of beings. How can these deficiencies in the nature of beings be addressed, and how will such human beings approach their existence?
It is precisely from the Buddhist Yogācāra doctrine that one can deduce the following: the eyes perceive form, the ears hear sound, the nose smells fragrance, the tongue tastes flavors, and the body feels tactile sensations. When viewed through the lens of the first five consciousnesses, human beings fundamentally share no different predispositions. However, when it comes to the notion that "all phenomena arise from thought," this is where distinctions in human nature, shaped by past tendencies, begin to emerge.
In the mortal realm, all favorable energies gradually dissipate; yet the Tri-Pure Energy stands as a source of vitality better suited for the survival of all living beings. This Tri-Pure Energy was formed and created during the First Cosmic Cycle: the Cycle of Evolving Stars and the Cycle of the Crimson Dragon. All humanity belongs to a generation of highly advanced technological civilization.
In the present era, it is essential to utilize diet to sustain the body's daily survival. By reducing the pollution within the food chain, as was done in times past, we can diminish the harmful additives that persist in today's food chain. These toxins, which harm our own lives, are truly quite cruel.
The transformation of seas into mulberry fields diminishes with each cycle. This issue, experienced across all different cosmic epochs, occurs each time the seas turn into mulberry fields—a process spanning approximately three to four hundred million years. With each cycle, humanity becomes increasingly defiled, and human hearts grow ever more malicious, surpassing the cruelty of every preceding era.
This kind of evolution, bestowed by the grace of Heaven, does not operate in such a manner throughout the entire process. Therefore, through each era of "seas turning into mulberry fields" in time and space, as human beings undergo transformation after transformation, cycle after cycle, it can be said that the entire Diming Star System has long been shaped by numerous major and minor transformations!
Each cosmic cycle undergoes several hundred processes of major and minor transformations. Minor transformations do not completely dissipate the energy bodies from the previous cycle, but when major transformations occur through the action of time and space—such as the vast change where seas turn into mulberry fields—the previous "methane-a" sinks deep into the earth, and everything must begin anew in a repeated cycle.
The energy of the human body is boundless, yet the conditions for its restoration are not something that can be regained to a normal state in a short time. Humans possess a form of bodily energy that is continuously diminishing and transforming, causing each subsequent energy form to grow progressively weaker. Consider this: can the vast ocean, once turned into mulberry fields, be restored swiftly? It is exceedingly difficult!
This transformation of sea into mulberry fields, having undergone over a hundred major and minor changes, has gradually led to the disappearance of the "methane a" on the planet Diming. For sentient human beings, this represents a significant destructive force. Therefore, beings of relatively higher consciousness understand that the living space existing in the human world has become increasingly difficult to inhabit comfortably.
Regarding this Earthly Underworld star system, it is becoming increasingly unsuitable as a benevolent living space for all humanity. Those among humankind with higher levels of karmic affinity are gradually departing from the Earthly Underworld star system, migrating to exist on other celestial bodies. Thus, after enduring the first cosmic cycle, the ensuing explosion will be truly terrifying!
A massive Di Ming star was formed, with more than half of it hurled towards the vicinity of Saturn, thereby causing its own dissipation. The energy body of the Di Ming star that was flung away had already diminished to less than half of its original mass before even reaching Saturn. Can such cosmic astronomical technology be comprehended? It is far too difficult! Human science has yet to provide empirical evidence for this.
In the spatial realm of the Diming Star System, within the atmosphere, there exists the "Tri-Pure Qi Gas." Regarding the many past Taoist classics, all origins and developments have already been thoroughly analyzed and elucidated in detail. For this celestial text, rather than redundantly reiterating past explanations, it draws upon highly advanced scientific civilization to serve as verification.
If analyzed by contemporary scientists, the conditions of ignorance and obstacles that exist among all humanity in the entire Earth-Ming star system would be understood with considerable accuracy. This is because, according to the evidence provided by today's scientists, we have yet to comprehend even one percent of all the issues within the space of the Earth-Ming star.
Moreover, this is only one thousandth of the reason. Why is the atmosphere of the entire Diming star system filled with the energy of the Three Pure Qi—that is, the Three Pure Qi of the Great Dao's Primordial Breath? It is also because the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains established their nation relatively early, endowing this human world with richer wisdom.
The Three Purities evolved and gave rise to the Earthly Dark Star System. In the past, due to such extraordinary causes and conditions, human beings once enjoyed a lifespan of three thousand years. Now, however, this span of time has been drastically reduced, falling short of even a hundred years. Moreover, the "black resources" have descended into the human world, leading to the misuse of these malevolent "black resources" in the heavens.
Furthermore, the negative effects of the "black resources" on the land all flow into the oceans, which are scattered around the oceanic realms of the entire Diming star system. Regardless of nationality, all human beings living near the sea level in any of these adjacent nations will suffer immense devastation. This is a matter that demands utmost vigilance!
Particularly for those ravaged by cancer and tumors, the damage to the human body is becoming increasingly severe. It is essential to realize that humanity can no longer obtain healthy food from the "food chain." We have reached a point where we cannot avoid eating, yet what we consume offers no guarantee of safety for bodily well-being. In the future, it will be necessary to shift to "liquid and tablet forms" to nourish life.

##Chongxin Sect Patriarch, Heavenly Lord of Literary Grace and Education in the Void
July 7, 2015, the twenty-second day of the fifth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
With diligence and courage, without slack or neglect, to fulfill our humanity and achieve transcendence.
◆ Prefaces ◆
The causes for planting demonic seeds in the human world arise from: the eyes seeing forms, the ears hearing sounds, the nose smelling scents, the tongue craving flavors, the body sensing touch, the mind generating thoughts, the manas consciousness, and the alaya consciousness—these first eight consciousnesses are entirely identical in their initial planting! Thereafter, the causes diverge, proceeding from:
01. Eye perceiving form: the first consciousness  
02. Ear perceiving sound: the second consciousness
03. The nose smells scents: this is the third consciousness.  
04. The tongue tastes flavors: this is the fourth consciousness.
05. Bodily movement and touch: this is the fifth consciousness.  
06. Mental engagement with phenomena: this is the sixth consciousness.
07. Manas: the seventh consciousness.  
08. Alaya: the eighth consciousness.
The first major stage of planting demonic seeds: The demonic descendants, who are gathered and assembled, are unable to leave the Earthly Nether Star System. They specialize in assessing ordinary sentient human beings, as well as practitioners with a sincere religious faith.
09. The Bridge of Deception: The ninth level of demonic nature.
10. Illusory Nature, Empty Consciousness: This is the tenth level of demonic nature.
11. The Realm of Unbounded Ignorance: the eleventh level of demonic nature.
12. The Crown Leaps to Fill the Mind-Consciousness: This is the twelfth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Lesser Heavenly Demon King: capable of issuing commands to all demon offspring and descendants within the Earthly Nether Star System, conducting investigations and reports.
The second major stage of demonic seed cultivation: the Celestial Demon King; already capable of departing the Earthly Nether Star System, yet still subject to the assessments of the Heavenly Sovereign. It specializes in evaluating the future religious beliefs of the Earthly Nether Star, precisely those who can attain enlightenment.
13. The Sole Contemplation of Exhaustion and Consumption of Consciousness: This is the thirteenth level of demonic nature.
14. The Realm of Intellect and Consciousness: The fourteenth level of demonic nature.
15. Departing from Partiality to Attain Self-Awareness: This is the fifteenth level of the Demonic Nature.
16. Vision as the Supreme Knowledge: The sixteenth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Central Heaven Demon King, who can command all demonic descendants both within and beyond the Earthly Nether Star System, serving as the examiner for all those beneath the Central Heaven Demon Realm.
The third major stage of demonic nature planting causes: The Great Heavenly Demon King will possess the supreme reliance bestowed by Heaven, specifically examining all kinds of causal conditions and circumstances, and even those who have already attained enlightenment, to determine whether they are truly qualified to serve as the basis for all enlightenment.
17. The Consciousness of Manifestation and Reflection: This is the seventeenth level of the demonic nature.
18. The Arising of Intentional Grasping Consciousness: This is the eighteenth level of demonic nature.
19. Nature is biased, the mind lacks discernment: this is the nineteenth level of demonic nature.
20. Absence of Mind and Absence of Nature Consciousness: This is the twentieth level of demonic nature.
The highest state is that of the Great Heavenly Demon King, whose commands can extend beyond the Earthly Nether Star System. All actions beneath the Great Heavenly Demon Realm are subjected to scrutiny, which in turn gives rise to every deed and movement, serving as a demonstration within the human world. Moreover, in the essence of this "demonic true suchness," can everyone comprehend its origins and underlying causes? Although most people have undergone educational training and are aware of the operations of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Ethics.
Moreover, there is no way to truly implement these principles due to such causes and conditions. Hence, it can be discerned: in the present era, this very essence of "demonic true suchness" manifests within the human world. Everyone can comprehend the origins and consequences of this demonic nature. It often commits acts that the human world cannot tolerate!
Regarding the assessment of demonic nature, the first stage spans from the ninth to the twelfth level, conducted within the spatial confines of the Diming Star. The standard for this evaluation is set by the Minor Heavenly Demon King, and it must not extend beyond the Diming Star system. For demonic levels thirteen to sixteen, the assessment is overseen by the Intermediate Heavenly Demon King, signifying the ability to venture beyond the Diming Star system.
For such minor celestial demons, there is no credential to undergo the assessment of Heaven. However, as long as they diligently advance through each level of the demonic cause, they can evolve into the essence of a mid-level celestial demon through the lineage of minor celestial demons. If they reach the demonic levels seventeen to twenty, they then form the great celestial demon.
Why have all religious doctrines, from ancient times to the present, never addressed the "transformation through demonic nature"? To fully comprehend the "transformation through Buddha-nature," and to understand how to achieve "transformation" between "the dual aspects of Buddha and demon," it is essential to possess both a correct and truthful understanding and to take genuine action. Only then can the dynamic interplay of "mutual transformation between Buddha and demon" be realized.
For an ordinary practitioner, it is difficult to discern how to implement such a concept. Consequently, one may persistently believe they possess only the nature of Buddha and Mara, and wonder how to achieve transformation through union. Within this "transformation through union," it is essential to realize that it originates from the Wuji descending to manifest the Taiji. Specifically, it involves the direct descent from Wuji to the two polarities, and then to the Taiji.
Furthermore, all cultivation concepts in the human world are not practiced according to the true meaning. Therefore, although there are many religious believers, the standard for transcendence and ascension is not met. Under such conditions and circumstances, how can the true meaning of "the mutual transformation of Buddha and demon" be realized in the actual practice of "the transformation between Buddha and demon" for sentient beings?
The Nature of Demonic Affinity and Transformation in Its Original Cause and Condition: This type of "affinity" is primarily practiced through a dual union, merging with the original essence, which is akin to oneness; "transformation" refers to its descent and departure. This principle applies to all "engineering principles" in the human world, regardless of distinctions in technological civilization, and still takes "affinity, transformation, and departure" as its fundamental units.
It is also a fact that the concept of "unity" as the essence and "separation" as the object of descent is fundamentally incomprehensible to humanity. Why must there be "unity and separation" in the descent of the Wuji into the Taiji? Most human beings lack this understanding of such causality, so how can they truly ascend and transcend?
The transformation of the covenant back to its original essence means that only when the Wuji directly descends and transforms within the Taiji can the Two Modes emerge. If one holds such a view, it would be a grave misunderstanding. For thousands of years, Taoism has not accurately elucidated how, in ancient times, the Yin-Yang and Five Elements came into being. This is the very moment of opportunity for the descent and transformation of one's own "Yin-Yang and Five Elements."
It is essential that after the Wuji gives rise to the Liangyi, it further descends and transforms into the Taiji—this is the proper sequence of the Dao! Humanity cannot break free from the authenticity of the framework presented in religious scriptures. Within this, after the "Wuji descends and transforms into the Liangyi," there exists a state of union with the Wuji. Thus, the necessity to depart from it lies precisely in the "transformation of union"!
The so-called "Three Pure Qi Bodies" in the human world are applied in such a way that they encompass the entirety of the outer periphery of the Diming Star. Furthermore, the qi bodies generated by the overall operation of the Diming Star System are integrated within the system itself through the "Three Pure Qi Bodies." How, then, do these "Three Pure Qi Bodies" operate once they depart from the Diming Star?
The universe is formed from a "state of vacuum," while the Earthly Star exists in a "state of solid void." The "primordial foundation of qi" in both is the same. However, in terms of motion, it has long been perceived by sentient beings that the Earthly Star is stationary. This age-old understanding has been deeply ingrained in the human mind for millennia.
However, if we use the technological civilization of the past century to unveil the mysteries of the entire universe, we can then understand: the planet Diming follows the direction of a clock's movement and also orbits the Richen star system. Therefore, within the "state of actual emptiness," there exists the breath energy of humanity, which is also made possible because the Richen star system remains "motionless"!
Furthermore, within the space of the Earth-Ming star, as it revolves with the movement of the Sun-Chen star, various units of spacetime measurement also follow the rotation of the Sun-Chen star system and the other nine major planets. Accompanied by the Moon-Chen star orbiting the space of the Earth-Ming star, these causal conditions result in differences in the "qi energy bodies" both inside and outside the space of the Earth-Ming star.
In the first cosmic cycle of the Diming star system, during the "Stellar Evolution Cycle" and the "Crimson Dragon Cycle," many beings existed in the human realm as energy entities of 'Methane-a.' This 'Methane-a' energy entity is not the fuel source currently known in the human world but rather a highly advanced form of energy for absorption.
This high-tech methane-a energy within the physical body can be applied to create numerous benefits for humanity and all living beings. In the spacetime of ancient eras, methane-a was a form of energy that did not combust. After the first cosmic cycle, each time the seas transformed into mulberry fields, the energy of methane-a would inevitably diminish further.
The formation of all positive genetic energies will gradually decline and be absorbed by the "methane a" energy body. This process began in the second cosmic cycle, specifically during the Fortunate Auspicious Cycle and the Cycle of Transformation and Creation. For humanity, it manifested as a decrease in lifespan from the 3,000 years of the first cosmic cycle to 1,500 years thereafter.
The variant genes of the Canghai have been continuously diminishing, and diminishing further. Each time the seas transform into mulberry fields across the span of time, a great deal of the methane-a gas absorbed by humanity and all living beings repeatedly dissipates! It can be understood that the methane-a energy entity of ancient times was absolutely not the combustible methane-a as understood by contemporary humanity.
This absorbed energy transforms into a protective force for the physical body. Coupled with the fact that in the human world, the gradual fading of the "field of conscience" has repeatedly led to the dissipation of each energy body; yet, in the present era, humanity no longer possesses the true energy of the "Three Pure Qi" from the past. What, then, can be done?

## Chongxin Sect Lineage Chief Presider, Ancient Buddha of the Virtuous Human and Celestial Realms in the Void
Deputy Chair of the Chongxin Lineage, Vice Seat Magu Descends in Graceful Presence.
The Thirty-Ninth Volume of the Dadao Series  
Proclaiming the Commencement of All Virtuous Deeds
Today, I once again reverently bear the sacred decree of the Eternal Mother Empress, descending upon the Chongxin lineage to proclaim it. This is directed at all deities, Buddhas, and disciples of the Chongxin lineage, serving as a form of rewarding affirmation. It is also an expression of praise and admiration for the united efforts of all deities, Buddhas, and disciples! This should be met with great joy and gratitude; both deities and disciples must bow in reverence, maintaining utmost propriety without fail!
Imperial Decree Proclaimed
Respectfully received.
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Holy Mother resides in the Celestial Realm of Li, deeply concerned about all her children among the myriad spirits in the mortal world—whether they can truly ascend even for a single day. Each time her sacred decrees descend to the earthly realm, they become entangled in the turbid and corrupted world, unable to elevate this educational course, which is precisely what could benefit them!
Now, there is the Mother's heart in Taiwan, and the Imperial Decree of Chongxin Sect lineage exists in the human world. It is manifested through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," aimed at guiding all humanity to grow upward in truth. This divine opportunity and auspicious affinity, as the Mother's heart personally bestows the Imperial Decree upon the mortal realm, can truly be said to be a model for the human world, worthy of the affirmation of all celestial immortals and Buddhas!
Moreover, having already completed the thirty-eight volumes of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," it is fitting to disseminate the divine mysteries contained in each volume once more, and to continue issuing the thirty-ninth volume of the "Dadao Series" as composed. This will genuinely enhance the understanding of the "Buddha-Demon Nature," as well as the various sublime truths across different levels, and analyze the mysteries for humanity to comprehend.
Implemented in the mortal world to facilitate the early return of all children, the thirty-ninth volume of the Dadao series is bestowed. With great joy in the mother's heart, it is titled "Dadao Universe." This celestial scripture utilizes all the profound connections of the "Three Purities Teachings" within the human realm to analyze the demonic world, revealing the true essence to all children of the mortal dust.
Regarding this rare and profound opportunity for ascension and transcendence, it is an exceedingly scarce karmic connection within the human realm. The Mother’s heart is deeply comforted by the teachings imparted by Chongxin Shengfo, which indeed embody the principle that "a strict teacher produces outstanding disciples." Taking humanity as the model for manifestation in the mundane world, it is essential to remain resolute and courageous, advancing forward to complete the thorough and truthful analysis presented in the third volume of the textbook.

The Jade Decree from the Golden Palace of the Vast Heaven,  
The Prime Minister and Venerable Teacher Zhuge Kongming.
The Heart-Honoring Sect's Lineage Recompiled: The Thirty-Ninth Volume of the Great Dao Series
Today, as we respectfully receive the Jade Decree of the Heavenly Court, we truly feel immense joy and celebration. The Chongxin Lineage, within the Heavenly Golden Palace, has been granted a distinct honor of considerable recognition. To be able to receive and proclaim the Jade Decree of the Heavenly Court today fills us with great glory and congratulations! Only through the unwavering dedication and nineteen years of diligent effort by the Chongxin Lineage has such radiant virtue and grace been bestowed upon all beings of heaven and earth. With the proclamation of the Jade Decree, all bow in reverence!
The Jade Decree is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity, decrees:
I, the supreme sovereign, address the simultaneous emergence of all teachings in the mortal realm, each displaying its divine power to guide sentient primordial souls. Among these many teachings, even the spiritual influences of ancient dynasties have failed to achieve genuine transcendence. Thus, the Chongxin lineage has once again received the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven to compose the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts."
For the human world, there is a "clear spring and bright lamp, a finger pointing to the moon," offering humanity the growth of goodness, and also enabling an understanding of how to grasp the subtleties within the "interplay of Buddha and demon." Regarding the cause and effect of the Great Dao's Three Purities, one can truly comprehend it through the works of the "Great Dao Series Celestial Books"—specifically the thirty-ninth volume.
I am profoundly gratified that the distinguished work, titled "The Great Dao of the Universe" and also known as "The Great Dao of the Three Purities," can provide a great righteous force for all living beings in the world, relying on the upright energy of the universe and heaven and earth. This extraordinary affinity is such that only the lineage of the Chongxin Sect is capable of undertaking and fulfilling the weighty responsibility of this work.
I hope that all the teachings imparted by the revered sages and Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, through the practical educational courses that guide sentient beings upward, will foster their growth. Within this educational framework, which embodies the principle that "strict teachers produce outstanding disciples," we take the world as our model, genuinely benefiting all sentient beings and enabling them to ascend and prosper.

The Esteemed Patriarch of the Chongxin Lineage, the True Presiding Master  
The Celestial Virtue of the Void, the Will of Heaven and Humanity
The Ancient Buddha rejoiced at the great sage's earnest endeavors, descending to compose works in the era of Heavenly Virtue.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the students and cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Sacred Decree descended from Wuji and the Jade Edict descended from the Heavenly Court have been fully promulgated. The karmic conditions for such a sublime and extraordinary work can only be undertaken by the "Chongxin Lineage," as no other religious tradition possesses the capacity for such profound analysis and manifestation.
Therefore, as your teacher, I would feel immensely gratified. To undertake sacred duties beyond the capabilities of ordinary people is the very foundation for future achievements. Such endeavors represent the culmination of all the efforts of our students and disciples, providing a solid basis for substantial elevation. They also establish a model and a benchmark for the world, glorifying the lineage of Chongxin.
In this sacred duty of "upholding the great way of heaven and earth," it is implemented through the original principles and guidelines of the Chongxin lineage. Only through the interconnected educational system of the entire organization, both above and below, can such excellent results be achieved. Today, here, we will shortly express our gratitude and reverence within and outside this hall, thanking the boundless compassion and great virtue of Heaven for bestowing this decree. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

Chapter Five: The Emergence of Spiritual Nature, the Distinction Between Buddha and Demon
## The Celestial Worthy of the Infinite Descent of the Dao
August 14, 2015, the first day of the seventh lunar month in the year of Yiwei (Friday)
The Three Pure Ones descend in solemn rite,  
Primordial Celestial honors with virtue bright.
The Great Dao of the universe praises and proclaims:  
As truth grows, it shall surely become a vessel of fulfillment.
Praise and Congratulations
The vastness of the Dao and the cosmos
The Great Dao Universe relies on all stars and celestial bodies to align with the cosmic heavenly realms, establishing a state of mutual balance. It serves as a criterion for both revolution and rotation, ensuring the fairness of orbits. This is based on the regulations of the vast cosmos, providing a foundation for goodness. Such principles apply to the entire cosmic galaxy system, without distinction between the Central Heavenly Realm and the heavenly realms of the east, west, south, and north.
All are upheld by the principles of the Great Dao, taking the benefit of the entire cosmic galaxy as their foundation. This adherence to the cosmic celestial order ensures that different galaxies follow the path of justice and equality, thereby preventing any infringement upon the peace and stability of other galactic systems. It can be said that such cosmic laws have been in effect for billions of years!
The Ancient and Distant Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao
The Three Pure Ones: They are also upheld according to the orthodox tradition of Chinese Daoism. By integrating the various civilizations and technologies from all past cosmic cycles into a comprehensive framework of propagation and transformation, and by implanting the essence of these past cycles into the Earthly Obscure Star, they establish a benevolent foundation through the Three Pure Ones system. This, in turn, ensures a well-regulated operation for the cosmic galaxies.
How can we advance towards a more transcendent operation, and how should we approach the primordial foundation of the "Three Pure Ones system"? This leads to the following: by evolving the technological civilization of the human world through the cycles of past kalpas, humanity will be guided toward an even more advanced civilization. Such progress brings many virtuous practices to the current generation, which is also a manifestation of the great grace of Heaven.
The Three Pure Ones of the Daoist Tradition in the Universe of the Great Dao
The operation of the vast cosmos will thus bring about the evolution of the human world, elevating it to a level of civilization and technology unprecedented in the past. It can be perceived that over the past several millennia, evolution has continuously occurred across different times and spaces, leading to diverse orientations for human existence. This precisely represents the further advancement of past civilizations and technologies.
In this world, there exists a true and beneficial force that drives humanity and all living beings to advance civilization and progress forward. This scientific and technological civilization simultaneously evolves and emerges, benefiting all sentient beings, regardless of the form it takes, as it manifests in the present era. This past civilization has been propelled forward precisely through such technological advancements.
With the authenticity of absolute certainty, the "True Buddha Heart Sect of the Great Dao" is fully capable of undertaking this significant responsibility through its writings. Moreover, the "Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao Universe" have rarely descended to the human realm in the past to carry out such practices. This particular karmic connection involves undertaking the great sacred tasks that others cannot accomplish—truly worthy of praise and congratulations. Let us encourage one another in this endeavor!
The Three Pure Ones, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, bestow praise and blessings upon the Sacred Teachings of the Confucian School.
The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and the Yichi Chongxin Sect Lineage.
On the twenty-fifth day of the fifth lunar month, during the Xu hour, in the year of Yiwei under the Celestial Cycle.
Aha! Truly, it brings immense joy to the heavens that the Chongxin Sect lineage can incorporate the mysteries of the Three Pure Heavens of the cosmic star system into the third volume of the textbook—a feat worthy of praise. As your teacher, I shall stay with the Chongxin Sect lineage for one night, and together we shall discuss all future meetings for propagation and promotion. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Six: The Ninth Demon Nature: Playing with Consciousness at Wan Bridge
##Nanping Daoci Ancient Buddha
August 18, 2015, the fifth day of the seventh month in the year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The Heavenly Lord Tongtian descends to the hall;  
The Virtuous Grace of the Celestial Worthy Lingbao spreads far and wide.
The universe of the Great Dao and the Three Purities  
Flows with the truth of reality in its fullness.
Ode says:
The Grand Dao Unfolds in Vast Transformation
Thus, regarding the human world, it is a realm descended from the cosmic celestial sphere into the terrestrial star of the underworld. This gives rise to a perspective toward sentient beings, which does not distinguish from any angle of observation, nor differentiate within the spectrum of good and evil. How, then, does the human world come to distinguish between right and wrong, truth and falsehood, righteousness and wickedness?
It all stems from the "ideology" formed by humanity, which leads to the belief that one's own path is the right one, while others' paths are deemed incorrect. This is how beings coexist on this planet of mutual interactions, relying on distinctions such as right and wrong, good and evil, yes and no, correct and incorrect. It is precisely through such causes and conditions that the human world is perceived and understood.
Thus confined by the mundane world, one may also discern the myriad living beings and their diverse environments for survival. Do not mistake others as deviant while considering oneself the sole arbiter of righteousness—such is the fallacy. Human beings, with their discriminating minds and constrained by the limitations of past religious scriptures, remain unable to ascend and progress. What, then, can be done?
Beneath the mysteries of the cosmic galaxies, transformation unfolds.
In the context of the Great Cosmic Heaven, this perspective on the human world is confined to a binary distinction of right and wrong. Consequently, humanity fundamentally operates within this limited framework, unable to grasp that the grand system of the Dao encompasses the existence of all myriad beings. Only through this broader understanding can the survival of all things in the human world be truly addressed.
To distinguish between ordinary human beings and the ascended sages, immortals, and buddhas, each inhabits different realms of existence—a distinction that ordinary humans fail to comprehend. What, then, is the fundamental truth of all righteous paths? Thus, across countless lifetimes, they never progress upward and remain unable to grasp the vastness of the cosmos—a knowledge and perspective beyond human comprehension.
Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Great Celestial Worthy of Numinous Treasure, bestows the Ode to the Sun upon the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian School.
The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and the Yi Decree Chongxin Lineage.
On the twenty-fifth day of the fifth lunar month, during the Xu hour, in the year of Yiyun Yiwei.
Alas! Such a perspective on the mortal realm arises from the profound vows of Heaven, which bestow this divine opportunity and auspicious affinity upon humanity. It provides interpretation for the educational texts of the Chongxin lineage, allowing the mortal world to gain firsthand understanding. Only through addressing sentient beings at their various levels can true benefit be brought to all living creatures.
There exists a kind of just and equal existence that can benefit all humanity and foster upward growth—a necessity. The teachings and courses recorded in this celestial book can only be appropriately undertaken by the "Chongxin Lineage"! Very well. I look forward to the completion of this celestial book in the future, for the benefit of all beings. I apologize for troubling the Chongxin Lineage to gather and discuss, and for the effort of meeting old friends. Farewell for now!
Chapter Seven: The Tenth Demonic Nature, Illuminating Illusion and Emptiness
## The Celestial Venerable of Limitless Righteous Principles
August 21, 2015, the eighth day of the seventh month in the yǐwèi year (Friday).
The Taoist Patriarch descends in grace,  
The Supreme Elder welcomes with reverence in this sacred place.
The profound mysteries of the universe in the Great Dao  
Bring fresh insights and solace to humanity.
Preface
Preface to the Dadao Series
The natural operation nurtures the survival of all beings in the universe. This nurturing of life across different celestial bodies functions through varying spatiotemporal causes and conditions, allowing distinctions to be made among sentient beings. It is through the differentiation of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" that such distinctions arise. Human beings, due to the confusion and obstacles presented by religious scriptures, develop divergent educational perspectives.
Thus, for sentient beings with emotions, survival is based on mutual interaction; this makes it difficult to ascend and progress, forming a state in the human world that is hard to transcend. Influenced and indoctrinated by human religions, sentient beings develop varied manifestations. In truth, with a bit of reflection, everyone can understand this.
Human beings exist within the mortal world, which is why the Earthly Dark Star has mutual limitations. Due to this, from the first and second cosmic cycles to the present time and space, they have been confined to an inability to ascend and grow, instead revolving in repeated cycles. Thus, remaining within the space of the Earthly Dark Star, referred to as the Great Void, is a vast and expansive realm.
The cosmos is vast and boundless, with galaxies stretching far and wide.
In past eras, all spoke of the ethereal celestial realms. Now, with the changing times, the vastness of the great cosmic heavens has brought about different understandings and perspectives regarding all galactic systems within the cosmic realm. Particularly in today's world, where technology remains superficial and it is difficult to comprehend the immensity of the entire cosmic galaxy, this has shaped the process of interpreting the great ethereal celestial realms.
How can one comprehend the diverse forms of all evolutionary variations? Only after the Big Bang did various planets form, each created as distinct entities, along with their respective orbits of motion. These are sustained through principles of fairness and equality, allowing the galaxies of the vast universe to mutually pull, balance, restrain, and support one another in the cyclical transformations of rotation and revolution.
The Three Pure Ones, an ancient religion of China.
Since the inception of the Middle Land, the ways of thinking that have persisted from the past can now be distinguished: each entity exists across different times and spaces, and all sentient beings within the realm of the Earthly Star are oriented toward the "Three Pure Regulations of the Great Dao." How, then, do these regulations benefit the survival and elevation of sentient humanity? This also encompasses the transformations that have unfolded over the past sixty thousand years.
Thus, in forming the influences that have operated throughout ancient China and extending their effects into the present era, only the Chongxin lineage is capable of fulfilling this role. Under this extraordinary celestial opportunity, the three "Taoist Patriarchs" have collectively descended to compose: praises, hymns, and prefaces, expressing for all humanity the vast and profound virtue and grace of the Chongxin lineage.
Sincerely grateful for the grace, the heavens have bestowed yet another true celestial mystery and profound secret. Within the entirety of the "Great Dao Cosmos (Three Pure Ones) Celestial Texts" and all related writings, one can discern the extraordinary nature of this divine revelation, which may be described as a virtuous upward growth! This will lead to genuine, authentic elevation and transcendence, benefiting all living beings in the universe.
The Supreme Patriarch of Taoism, the Celestial Venerable of the Dao and Virtue, bestows this preface upon the Sacred Teaching of the Confucian School.

Alas! This extraordinary affinity also lies in the present era descending to guide, enabling sentient beings among humanity to comprehend past cultivation, thereby greatly reducing the need for temporal and spatial exploration. It is for this reason that the Chongxin lineage can undertake such a sacred mission. I have troubled the Chongxin lineage for some time, and I am grateful for everyone's companionship in this endeavor, as we deliberate together on the future. Farewell!
Chapter Eight: The Eleven Demonic Natures, the Realm of Endless Imperfection
##Namo Xukong Shangde Rentiangu Fo
August 28, 2015, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
Grand Chairman of the Chongxin Sect Lineage,  
Lord of the Southern Heaven, Emperor Wenheng.
Ascending the platform to encourage all virtuous students, the great Dao aligns with the Three Purities of the cosmos.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the three venerable ones—the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, and the Dao De Heavenly Venerable—have descended together to the Chongxin lineage to co-author the Great Dao Universe: The Three Pure Heavens Scripture, which serves as a profound teaching and karmic connection for the human world.
Because of the Chongxin lineage, over the past nineteen years, a total of thirty-eight volumes of the Dadao series have been completed. Now, the thirty-ninth volume of the Dadao series is set to begin on the twenty-fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the Year of Yiwei, coinciding with the passing of Typhoon Chan-hom. As always, Chongxin did not cease the writing of the celestial texts due to the typhoon.
Such spirit is truly commendable, encouraging, and worthy of celebration. It is through the strict guidance of all the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage that such steadfast will and perseverance have been genuinely cultivated. Tomorrow being Saturday, all guidance and salvation activities will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Thank you all for your hard work; we must continue to strive diligently! When returning home tonight, please be careful whether riding or driving, understood? Farewell for now!
Chapter Nine: Twelve Demon Natures, Crown Leaps to Fill the Heart
## Wuji Hongyang Tianzun
September 1, 2015, the nineteenth day of the seventh month in the yimao year (Tuesday)
Homage to the descent of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara.  
The Great Dao spans the boundless cosmos across vast realms.
To understand the root of demonic nature is to gain immunity and lasting ease.
The Universe and Galaxies as Expounded by the Great Dao
The vast expanse of the universe, even within the contemporary Di Ming star system of our era, is merely at its inception. For humanity and all sentient beings to achieve a truly progressive technological civilization, it is not something that can be comprehended within the current spacetime. Such conditions of causality, for all cosmic star systems, inevitably entail their own cyclical processes of "rotation and revolution."
This mode of rotation must also be regulated by the heavens above, governing the orbital paths of all cosmic galaxies. Through the interplay of support and pull across all entities, encompassing various forces, it is essential to guide all stars and spirits truthfully. Only then can the operation of each galactic system manifest without infringing upon or damaging other celestial bodies.
Therefore, it is necessary to proceed according to various orbits. By understanding the cosmic order and the operation of all celestial bodies, including the movement of every star system, one may comprehend the universal laws of the great cosmos. For humanity and all living beings, such principles remain elusive in the current era of the entire cosmic star system.
Moreover, how can there be various systems and regulations to govern their operation? It is essential to have a foundation of virtuous principles and guidelines. Through such principles, the various galactic systems are able to operate, thereby distinguishing all that exists in the human world at the "demonic level." It is only within the 'Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association' that such a rare and precious condition for creation can be found.
The Grand Dao Unfolds the Myriad Stars of the Cosmos
It is not a task that followers of other religions can undertake. Therefore, it is essential to understand: how should one discern the "demonic nature" that originally exists within the universe of the Great Dao? If, over the past nineteen years, the Chongxin Sect has been able to analyze the "seed cause of Buddha-nature" with remarkable clarity, then this stands as the sole revelation in the world.
Thus, regarding "demonic nature and Buddha nature," it can be said: "When virtue rises one foot, vice rises ten; when virtue rises ten feet, vice sits atop its head." This is an ancient proverb. If one fails to understand how to reconcile "Buddha and demon," ordinary human beings will be led to believe: I possess only Buddha nature!
Fundamentally, one is incapable of discernment, and one's very existence is governed by demonic nature. It can be said that one's own ignorance is extremely profound, and one is unable to recognize the causal conditions that give rise to this demonic nature. How, then, can one suppress it? Consequently, when the demonic nature manifests, it continuously extends its seeds into one's inherent nature, perpetuating its influence.
This aspect of demonic nature is particularly prominent, forming a fundamental confusion within oneself: why do the manifestations that arise in me, which should be expressed through "Buddha-nature," instead turn in the opposite direction, giving rise to "demonic nature"? As for myself: how should I evolve? It is through my own growth that I can manifest the Buddha-nature!
The cosmic Dao and its inherent principles give rise to the multitude of stars.
That will suffice. Human beings are such that: within the realm of the five dusts—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch—they further evolve through the five turbidities of form, sound, scent, flavor, and contact. Originally observed through the five dusts, these manifest in humans as: for me, one should practice in the correct direction. The greatest fear lies in the five senses connecting with the five consciousnesses, all linking to improper paths!
How then does the discernment of the "five sense organs corresponding to the five consciousnesses" lead to growth? It is precisely the distinction that arises from the manifestation of the "seed cause of Buddha" and the manifestation of the "seed cause of Mara." Moreover, after the five sense organs engage with the five sense objects, how does one understand what each individual perceives? If one practices in accordance with the right path, correspondingly, the "five sense organs corresponding to the five consciousnesses" are also employed through the right path!
If one proceeds by unrighteous means, conversely, it is discerned through the "five senses corresponding to the five consciousnesses," presenting another perspective of observation. This also leads one to manifest demonic nature in the present. Thus, through the evolution of cosmic galaxies, human beings are bound to encounter this phenomenon of "the mutual interplay of Buddha and Mara" as an intentional manifestation!
The ultimate destination of both the former and the latter lies within the sixth consciousness, which is then sent to the seventh manas consciousness for discernment. What is the purpose? To distinguish between acceptance and rejection! Through the cosmic unfolding of the Great Dao and the stars, as well as the unfolding of all sentient beings, these two can be clearly differentiated: the necessity of whether I can ascend and grow!
The Great Dao of the universe unfolds all living beings.
At the same time, the nature of humanity is also being distinguished. For me: how should one evolve? Or if one is already under the influence of growing demonic tendencies yet fails to recognize it, where does the crux of such a problem lie? How can one discern a virtuous direction? Human beings are precisely those who, within heaven and earth, intertwine the dual natures of "Buddha and demon," thereby shaping future blessings and calamities.
It is also quite difficult to discern. After I distinguish between Buddha and Mara, it is through the eighth consciousness, the *ālaya-vijñāna*, that I enter into different distinctions. This is because the "dual nature of Buddha and Mara" appears identical in what was observed earlier. Why then does this distinction arise for me? It is the eighth consciousness that makes the judgment, determining what I should be in the present moment.
This kind of fundamental lack of discernment toward all sentient beings means that, prior to the sixth consciousness, all that is observed appears the same. However, upon entering the judgment of the seventh manas consciousness, different perspectives are adopted for viewing, while also being influenced by external circumstances. Consequently, the Buddha-nature fails to manifest, yet the demonic nature is distinctly highlighted.
How should one evolve in relation to all that exists in the human world? The realm of Buddha is divided into thirteen stages, while demonic nature is divided into twenty stages! This distinction places human beings into a state of considerable ignorance and deliberate action, allowing one to discern: how to "harmonize and transform both Buddha and demon," rather than dancing to the tune of demonic nature!
This is about how sentient beings, failing to discern the nature of demonic influences, can undertake the necessary cultivation, while also truly discerning for themselves why, in the transition between Buddha and demon, there exists a difference of seven levels of nature. This concept of seven levels is fundamentally beyond the comprehension of ordinary sentient beings, and since ancient times, only Buddhism has spoken of: the gradations of Buddha-nature!
All beings among the myriad stars are shaped by the unfolding of the Great Dao.
However, no religion has been able to articulate the "levels of demonic nature." In contrast, all manifestations in the human world tend to suppress the Buddha-nature while magnifying the demonic nature. As a result, sentient beings fundamentally lack such awareness—how, then, can they rectify their own "ignorant intentions"?
This is to distinguish through the human world, how should one analyze the "twenty levels of demonic nature"? That is to say, over the past nineteen years, the Chongxin lineage has authored the Dadao series of celestial books, each volume analyzing with the truths of heaven and earth. Regarding the true principles of the operation of the Dadao universe, it is indeed difficult for the human world to comprehend!
It is sufficient for other sentient beings that, if they depart from the Earthly Dark Star System, there remains a difference of over 360 levels. Deducting the 20 levels of demonic nature, they can truly ascend and transcend; just as the Buddhist scriptures say: In the vast universe, different star systems and bodies exist at various levels, each operating within its own distinct time and space!
Sentient beings are formed and reside within the rotating galaxies of various celestial bodies, where their lifespans differ in length. This aligns precisely with what the Buddhist scriptures describe as the necessity of different "yojanas" across the great chiliocosm, while also distinguishing the variances in the "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" inherent in each being. Thus, it becomes possible to discern these truths exactly as they are.
The fundamental nature of the universe,  
Yet the seed of Buddha-nature bears fruit not as one wishes.
Demonic nature swells, giving birth to heaven and earth,  
With a difference of three hundred levels between them.
The Great Dao unfolds the cosmos into star systems, while all living beings dwell upon a single land.
Various manifestations arise to distinguish,  
Each differing in their original mechanism.
This verse is shared to encourage all sentient beings; it also serves as the first detailed exposition of the myriad stars (beings) within the grand cosmos of the Dao. It is hoped that everyone can comprehend: how to discern and transcend the ignorance within, and understand the fundamental nature of enduring such limitations! Otherwise, humanity will remain confined to the cycle of existence within the Earthly Nether Star System!
This is not what everyone would wish for; it is essential to truly comprehend the mysteries of the cosmic galaxies and the true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth. Only by understanding these as they truly are can we achieve genuine elevation and transcendence! Well, thank you all for accompanying me in this work. Tonight, let us stay together at our Chongxin for the evening. I appreciate your hard work in accompanying this endeavor. Thank you, and farewell!
Chapter Ten: The Thirteen Demonic Natures, All Consumed by Contemplation
##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
September 4, 2015, the twenty-second day of the seventh lunar month in the year of Yiwei (Friday)
The Limitless descends the Way to revere the heart,  
Together aiding the Great Dao to uplift true practice.
Where sentient beings gather,
There arises the nature of both Buddha and Mara.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening to all! Today, the Grand Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Namas Dipankara, has descended to compose the first installment of "The Universe of the Great Dao." This work will analyze and elucidate the myriad stars (beings) within the Great Dao universe, granting everyone the auspicious opportunity to truly comprehend its heavenly mysteries.
What is Buddha-nature? And what is the distinction of demon-nature! It can be understood that within the innate immunity stored within, one can truly elevate and grow oneself to a greater extent, and can also practically transform one's own ignorance. This is aimed at enhancing all that is insufficient or lacking! Well, tomorrow is Wednesday, all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow, which will lead to virtuous elevation. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Eleven: Fourteen Demonic Natures, Sharp Wits and Restless Awareness
##Wuji Xiandao Tianzun
September 8, 2015, the twenty-sixth day of the seventh lunar month in the year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji descends,  
The great Dao series heralds a far-reaching realm.
The virtue of heaven and earth nourishes all living beings,  
while the moral teachings spread throughout the universe.
The Cosmic Dance of Stars Across the Galaxies
The evolution of cosmic galaxies is sustained by the attachment of all living beings, bringing blessings to the entire galaxy within each stellar system. This process of evolution, whether in the human world or among the myriad stars and celestial bodies, advances through such virtuous grace. It offers the countless stars, humanity, and all living beings the opportunity for benevolent elevation and transcendence.
This cause and condition can be understood as follows: the evolution of the universe is guided by the Supreme Heavens, which provide all stars and celestial bodies as their foundation. Consequently, for all living beings, abundant blessings are bestowed upon each star system. This causal condition is also manifested through the Supreme Heavens' bestowal of varying degrees of blessings upon every star system and all living beings.
Furthermore, among such sentient beings with emotions, there exist various forms of elevation and transcendence. Through the cosmic stellar systems, they evolve to uplift all spirits, with many such advancements originating from past cosmic cycles and evolving into the present era. Taking the planet Earth as an example: in past cosmic cycles, it possessed a highly advanced technological civilization.
However, the growth of the present era is also due to the fact that "seas have turned into mulberry fields," with all technological civilization collapsing entirely: the complete upheaval lies within the Earthly Nether Star! Consequently, all the evolved technological civilization of the human world has vanished without a trace, and the current age has once again undergone evolution and transformation. This has been the pattern for tens of thousands of years!
The Haotian Star System transplants various talents.
Human beings have been transplanting various talents from the Haotian star system to advance all civilizations on Earth, focusing on the evolution of civilizations within the universe. Over the past sixty thousand years, this evolution has consistently followed the path of ancient technological civilization. However, the true potential for evolution lies in the technology of approximately thirty thousand years ago, yet it continues to progress in the same manner as before.
Therefore, as human beings, we have consistently found ourselves in a state of limitation: unable to truly ascend to higher levels, and incapable of making wholesome progress. This kind of advancement cannot be elevated or transcended by any technological civilization in the human world. It has been one hundred and forty years since the Jade Emperor of Heaven abdicated the throne, leading to the transformation and elevation of the entire Earthly Nether Star System.
It is precisely because a fresh start is necessary, and strongly demanded by all celestial beings and Buddhas, that genuine evolution cannot be achieved in merely a few thousand years! However, this civilization cannot manifest overnight. In accordance with this truth, after joint deliberation by the Heavenly Father, the Empress Mother, and the Jade Emperor, the decree of "Chaos" has been revoked.
Before the shift to the Diming Star System, the technological civilizations of the First, Second, and Third Cosmic Epochs were integrated collectively. By reintroducing the advancements of the First and Second Epochs to the human world, the welfare of Diming Star was harnessed to create humanity and all living beings, fulfilling the necessity for evolutionary progress toward virtuous and significant achievements.
Extraterrestrial Technology Implanted into Diming Star
Similarly, these technological civilizations, having evolved across various star systems, were transplanted into the human world to reshape the growth of the entire Diming Star. From the perspective of the cosmic star systems, this was not limited to the Diming Star system alone. In fact, across the entire cosmic galaxy, many more and larger star systems benefited as well.
Thus, many civilizations have utilized technological advancements to foster the growth of various star systems. This has also led to human beings inhabiting shared spaces. Humans may perceive this Earth Star as immensely vast, yet when viewed within the context of the entire cosmic galaxy, the Earth Star where humanity resides appears exceedingly minute!
If the universe, compared to humanity, is but a small apple, then attempting to compare it with other galactic systems is undoubtedly like a minor magician before a great one—or even akin to "a frog at the bottom of a well gazing at the sky." In the evolution of the cosmos and its galactic systems, human beings are fundamentally incapable of comprehending all the intricate origins and connections.
How did this Earthly Dark Star evolve? Thus, on the Earthly Dark Star, human beings possess only a relatively superficial understanding of technological and civilizational concepts! The evolutionary functions of cosmic unfolding, in this case, are manifested through the karmic conditions of human beings in the current era and space, which is also due to the virtuous grace of the Jade Emperor's abdication.
Humanity evolves the technology of the Earthly Abyss Star.
Conversely, this has given rise to more advanced technological civilizations. Consider the present era: do you sense that compared to the past 30 to 50 years, technological civilization has evolved significantly? Does it feel remarkably rapid today? Yet, in the next 5 to 10 years, it will be entirely different again!
These technological advancements of our time are gradually becoming visible to all; however, the impending disasters of the entire Earth will be truly terrifying. As for all applied civilizations, they will undoubtedly leave everyone astonished and amazed. This kind of technological civilization, as long as it is embraced by humanity, will bring about benevolent well-being for all beings.
They are destined to return and take refuge within the entirety of the Dark Star, advancing towards an even more transcendent technological civilization. Consequently, regarding the karma of sentient beings from humanity's past, those among them who are less adaptable will gradually be phased out. Such are the conditions for the evolution of civilization, which also arises from the karma of different times and spaces driving this progress.
Technological civilization transcends the blessings of the human world.
This is precisely what truly enables the multitude of human beings to ascend and transcend. In this regard, there emerges a distinct manifestation of the "Buddha nature and demon nature" previously spoken of for humanity, which is integrated into all survival orientations of human beings. Thus, it is the Heavenly Realm that has initiated the vast compilation of the Celestial Texts of the Dadao series—authored by the "Chongxin Lineage."
In this context, the elevation of heaven and earth as the foremost principle is truthfully imparted to the immortal and buddha teachers of the Chongxin lineage. This entails a rigorous educational and cultural curriculum, manifested through the principle that "a strict teacher produces outstanding disciples." It raises the question for all within the Chongxin lineage: does this path offer a higher level of teaching and spiritual affinity compared to external religious traditions?
At the same time, from firsthand materials, one can understand: what are the mysteries and secrets within? This is not a condition that can be achieved through force; it must be accompanied by genuine evolution. Only by elucidating the benefits for heaven, earth, and humanity can one truly attain it. This will lead to virtuous and favorable conditions, enabling upward growth, elevation, and transcendence!
The cosmos unfolds myriad galaxies, unveiling the mysteries of heaven, earth, and humanity.
It is like the true growth of the Tathagata,  
a precious opportunity to return and transcend.
Heaven bestows blessings upon us,  
but only if humanity can live in harmony.
Harnessing the technology of today to enhance human welfare and blessings for the future.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: When the causes and conditions of human existence are understood within the cosmic unfolding, goodness will naturally grow—not merely for human survival alone! It is essential for virtuous causes and conditions to flourish, benefiting the mind, spirit, and body in their fulfillment. Today, this old monk has returned. Are you all joyful?
First, three large cups of sweet dew are blessed to dispel karmic obstacles, increase wealth, and enhance wisdom. A little extra has been added, so everyone should cherish and make good use of it! Furthermore, if it is insufficient, more can be taken for blessings. Each student and disciple present in the hall will receive a portion. There is still some left on the second floor, which can also be brought for blessings.
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect requires the collective effort of all, uniting the strength of the entire community. Just as family members—parents, siblings—come together, each contributing their own power, so too can we foster virtuous promotion and development. "Chongxin means unity of heart, and unity of heart means Chongxin." Let us all, like close brothers and sisters, work together to propagate and advance this cause.
There is no longer any distinction between them; does everyone understand this? Each student and disciple has received a blessed item just now. Take it back, cherish it well, and make good use of it. I hope everyone will strive diligently to grow and improve. Also, today the teacher will be departing to lead the practice. May you all be blessed with abundant good fortune.
It is essential to fully leverage the Chongxin Sect lineage in all promotion and outreach efforts of the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association." With such favorable conditions and opportunities, there is no need to worry about the inability to propagate the teachings. Does everyone have confidence? All replied: Yes! Ah, excellent! Excellent! Once again, do you have confidence? Reply: Yes! Well done, everyone. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Twelve: The Fifteen Demonic Natures, Departing from Bias to Attain Naturalness
##Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, Azure Radiance
September 11, 2015, the twenty-ninth day of the seventh month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Supreme Celestial of Limitless True Ethics ascends,  
gathering with all deities and sages in the revered assembly of the Heart.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Unite as one to carry forward our noble deeds.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the True Buddha Lord of the Great Dao has invited the ancient Buddha, the Southern Screen Daoist Ji, to personally descend and compose the second installment of the analysis of the "Great Dao Universe." This second installment of teachings expounds on the benevolent grace of the universe's evolution. We hope everyone will remember and take to heart the earnest guidance of our immortal and Buddha teachers.
I urge everyone! Treat each other as your own brothers and sisters, without distinction between self and others. "Reverence of the heart is unity of heart, unity of heart is reverence of the heart." In this way, there will surely be great promotion and expansion, and many virtuous connections will return to join the cause. Do you have faith in such conditions? Please carefully study the essence of what the Immortals and Buddhas have expounded today!
There will be a more authentic elevation, and there will be genuine outward promotion, bringing practical benefits to all sentient beings. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Tomorrow evening, the Zen master will also give a lecture—everyone is welcome to come and uncover treasures! This is essential for one's own upward progress.
Chapter Thirteen: The Sixteen Demonic Natures, Seen as Lofty and Profound
## The Celestial Worthy of Universal Transformation from the Wuji
September 15, 2015, the third day of the eighth lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Homage to the descent from the void,  
The ancient Buddha of sublime virtue opens the realms of humans and heavens.
The myriad spirits of the Great Dao and the cosmos  
Take hidden virtue as the foremost, bearing blessings and fortune.
All stars evolve, elevating myriad souls.
Sentient beings, within the world of survival, give rise to the present food chain and the chain of affairs, further connected by a chain of currency, forming together three major elements. This also allows for the attachment of diverse behaviors in the human world, emerging as a means of elevating one's own survival. Human beings likewise manifest this orientation.
It is precisely through the chain of causes and conditions that many aspects of my entire existence are interconnected, thereby providing the fundamental conditions for survival. Viewed in this way, the human world, in sustaining the existence of all humanity, is but a process of manifesting the original nature, shaping each and every human being by revealing their inherent self-nature.
And to discern whether I am within it, connecting through the nature of humanity, and manifesting a kind of virtuous nature. This virtuous nature can be described as: goodness, kindness, the nature of the Way, benevolence, inherent nature, Buddha-nature, and various other natures. Or it may already present a mix of: habits, inertia, disposition, individuality, evil nature, and demonic nature.
To attach all worldly practices to myself: that is the nature of being! Yet many virtuous people will cultivate themselves through goodness and the Way, and cast aside "evil and demonic natures." Thus it can be understood: all natures in the human world arise from within oneself!
The ancient mysteries descend to the mortal world.
This prompts the question: What does this mean for my own life? To elevate sentient beings is the fundamental condition set by Heaven, serving as the foundation for all human dependencies. This also gives rise to a distinction between good and bad natures! Only then do human beings reflect on what kind of nature my actions embody.
This type is thus discernible: for those of a good or virtuous nature, ordinary human beings are generally more receptive; if it is of a bad or evil nature, human beings will greatly dislike it. Moreover, shaped by what humans refer to as undesirable natures, it forms the phenomenon of "like attracts like" in the human world, thereby shaping all present actions.
It is precisely by imposing the eternal nature upon the present nature that the nature I have cultivated becomes unchangeable. No matter how profound the practice or how deep the merit, it only yields blessings in the human and celestial realms. Thus, one remains trapped in the cycle of rebirth in the human world, forever in this state—what can be done?
Clearly knowing the methods to apply, yet hindered by one's own reluctance to act accordingly, one instead sinks generation after generation into the turbid and afflicted world of the five impurities, finding it exceedingly difficult to ascend, progress, and transcend. Thus, how can I fortify my resolve to ascend and grow? This is the common ailment of sentient beings and the very crux that remains unbroken.
All that is good and kind in the world shall flourish.
One will remain perpetually trapped within a state of profound and rather helpless limitation! Although one clearly knows the methods that could be applied, they remain unattainable. This is precisely the common affliction of sentient beings and an obstacle that seems insurmountable. From the perspective of the human world, it is only by aspiring upward, growing, and transcending that sentient beings can follow the true path.
Moreover, there are hundreds of methods, and they have been shared with everyone countless times. Yet, as soon as one attempts to progress upward, inexplicable obstacles arise. For those who cannot maintain firm faith, it is exceedingly difficult to persevere to the end and understand: what exactly are one’s own obscurations of ignorance?
If such ignorance and obstacles become the excuses for the existence of sentient beings throughout the ages, then for practitioners lacking firm faith, it becomes exceedingly difficult to find the true driving force for genuine spiritual progress. Thus, even with the guidance and teachings of numerous immortals and buddhas in the human world, what can truly be accomplished?
Yet, one remains as ineffective as ever in dealing with oneself. If this persists, it inevitably becomes the most helpless excuse in the human world. Even if enlightened teachers persistently impart their teachings, and despite the efforts in educating and guiding sentient beings, it often ends up as a mere burst of initial enthusiasm, making it exceedingly difficult to grasp the most crucial point therein.
Those who truly cultivate and practice prioritize accumulating hidden merits.
This is essential for those who genuinely cultivate and practice, and it also strengthens what human beings lack most: blessings and hidden virtues! This approach, specifically aimed at human beings, can lead to significant elevation and transcendence. For the elevation of all souls, hidden virtues come first. Such conditions and causes are precisely what the celestial immortals and buddhas of the present era have descended to impart and analyze for everyone.
Thus, from the perspective of the Chongxin Sect lineage: as it gradually entered the nineteenth year of its temporal journey, with batches of students coming and going, the overall Chongxin Sect lineage took shape. It has continuously adapted various methods for dissemination and has elevated successive groups of learners and sect disciples. This process, rooted in past affinities, remains consistent in its essence.
In this world, there are few beliefs that remain unchanged throughout a lifetime. This raises the question: in the course of my life, have I truly made the right choices? It also reflects the constant coming and going of humanity, which has yet to truly grasp the "true meaning of the universe's unfolding." This is a profound knowledge, one that is fully endowed with wisdom.
Thus, there is the potential for goodness to ascend and transcend. This opportunity is available to all sentient beings with emotions—that is, every individual—but it is essential to observe the distinction: whether one is willing or not! For this reason, every sentient being in the human world, as well as every student and follower who can enter their own religious belief system, has the necessity to grow and progress.
The Quintessence of the Great Tao Series Celestial Texts
However, it is essential to observe whether one is willing or not, as only then can one accumulate the overall essence of the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," which is the accumulation of "virtue." Furthermore, by transforming daily life into the growth of "hidden virtue," how should one accumulate such "hidden virtue"? This, in turn, yields significant results that benefit oneself!
In fact, as long as each student or follower is willing, they can let go of all attachments—seek no merits, fame, or personal desires—and thus genuinely embody a selfless function. This will also lead to a virtuous elevation within themselves. By persisting in such practice, it will eventually become "second nature" in the future!
Moreover, in the future, all things will naturally progress and flourish. This is akin to how each person’s habits, tendencies, innate nature, and individuality develop. Why then do sentient beings remain trapped in the Saha World of the Five Turbidities? In truth, it is merely a transformation of thought and perception—a reality that humanity seldom comprehends.
All human beings must comprehend the evolution of heaven and earth.
If one can grasp the "true meaning of the evolution of heaven and earth," it is essential to firmly engrave it in memory. Only then can one avoid repeatedly cycling through obstacles. The human world is, in essence, a transformation of thoughts and perceptions. Regardless of whether these teachings come from immortal Buddhas, revered teachers, or Zen masters, have you all sensed that this is precisely the transformation of thought and perception!
Therefore, it is necessary to implement it truthfully, which will lead to significant improvement and transcendence. The human world lacks precisely this kind of thought and concept, which has given rise to all the impure thoughts and ideas that have long resided in the eighth consciousness. In fact, these can be transformed into manifestations of goodness, making it necessary to accumulate hidden virtues.
I wonder if all students and disciples can discern: the mysteries contained herein are immensely profound, and I do not know whether all students and disciples can perceive the subtleties within. Engage in deep contemplation, for this is precisely about elevating the knowledge and wisdom that have never been transmitted through the ages. By accumulating and refining the hidden virtues, everyone will achieve a benevolent and transcendent elevation.
The true meaning of heaven and earth's operation lies in the interdependence of all human beings.
Unaware of the intricacies within, how can one refine oneself to become accomplished?
What meaning lies in the cycle of rebirth?  
It persists ever within the realm of defilement.
It is exceedingly difficult to cleanse its filth,  
Yet to forge this life's path back to heaven's design.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. It dissects the subtle and often overlooked aspects of human life, aiming to elevate everyone's thoughts and perspectives. In doing so, it also helps accumulate hidden virtues and merits, which ultimately leads to one's own benevolent transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Fourteen: The Seventeen Demonic Natures, Manifestation and Correspondence
##The Great Emperor of the Celestial Sovereign of the Supreme Ultimate
September 18, 2015, the sixth day of the eighth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Supreme Venerable of the Wuji Exaltation ascends,  
Gathering together with the virtuous beings of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The profound truth remains untold through the ages.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the presiding master of our lineage—the Namo Void Supreme Virtue Human-Heaven Ancient Buddha—has descended once more to elucidate the profound mysteries that humanity fundamentally fails to comprehend. This dissemination in the third cycle of the "Great Tao Universe" elevates and transcends one's own thoughts and perspectives.
Regarding the necessity of such growth, conversely, it is to enable everyone to understand: how is the mystery within it? It can certainly be discerned: with just a shift in mindset, there will be nine thousand births and cessations! Such causes and conditions will allow everyone to genuinely realize, elevate, and transcend, benefiting themselves!
Throughout the ages, all religious sects and lineages have failed to elucidate the primordial driving force behind their manifestations and their descent into the human realm for guidance. Only the Chongxin lineage stands as an exception. Let us all cherish and reflect upon this deeply! Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all forms of spiritual guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will join together to learn and grow! Let us strive diligently. Farewell for now, everyone!
Chapter Fifteen: The Eighteen Demonic Natures, Intentions Give Rise to Attachment
## The Celestial Worthy of Universal Exaltation of the Boundless
September 25, 2015, the thirteenth day of the eighth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Great Way of the South enlightens the masses;  
The pearls of the sea are Heaven's reward for the Way.
In ancient times it was said that humanity is well-guided by teachings; the Buddha declared that all beings are capable of growth.
Sentient beings must understand the principles of Consciousness-Only.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they manifest orientations toward all forms of existence and spiritual growth, responding to the question: How can all obstacles in the human world that hinder elevation be resolved? In truth, it is because human beings exist within a food chain that the necessity of a transactional chain arises, and it is essential to fulfill these necessities.
Afterwards, there must be a sustenance for the spiritual nourishment, and indeed, this spiritual realm should be elevated: for me, it ought to ascend and grow! Rather than remaining trapped in the repetitive cycles of obstacles within the human world! Therefore, in the human world, it is said: the necessity of spiritual sustenance surpasses that of the food chain!
This is considered a necessary condition after satiation, leading sentient beings into religious belief, and is described as an essential need for upward growth. However, in reality, this is fundamentally not the case, because in their daily lives, human beings possess an invisible, formless essence that can interact and communicate with divine spirits.
This practice, largely grounded in religious faith and observance, does not overlook the necessities of human existence. However, it often presents an obscure and elusive obstacle for sentient beings. The invisible realm that emerges within the human world is said to serve a protective function.
The Benefits of the Theory of Consciousness-Only for the Advancement of Humanity
Human beings must elevate the principles of consciousness-only studies, which is by no means an issue that the general populace can readily comprehend. This is precisely because, in order to achieve elevation, humanity requires a genuine spiritual sustenance to guide its upward progress. From the perspective of nourishing life in the human world, such necessity is indeed essential.
It is precisely due to this necessity that the obscurations of past ignorance can be dissolved. Why is it that in the human world, one should not discriminate among any religious beliefs as the sole refuge? Most people merely practice according to their immediate circumstances, and even more so, they fail to understand: why must there be a process of cultivation through the "principles of Consciousness-Only"?
Why does Heaven seek to integrate the five religions as a whole? It is precisely so that followers of different faiths may genuinely enter into this understanding: though humanity has long been aware of its function, they have been unable to distinguish its various forms. Yet in daily life, every human being already applies it as a necessity for survival.
However, it remains unclear how the entirety is interconnected. This leads to human beings repeatedly cycling through the vast cosmos, many of whom have accumulated deep impurities and sunk into degradation over countless lifetimes. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo transformation anew, so that the great virtue and grace of Heaven may descend to educate and nurture sentient human beings.
The principles of Consciousness-Only elevate sentient beings beyond.
This process involves integrating previously incomprehensible intentions into the human world, resulting in many instances where the original essence of my present intentions must be understood through the necessary conditions of cause and effect. The application of the "doctrine of consciousness-only" as articulated by sentient beings in humanity is precisely the educational course of "one flower with five petals."
It also truthfully gathers all genuine practitioners of the five teachings, enabling them to ascend and transcend, rather than remaining perpetually confined to the mere edification and teachings of each religion. Without a profound realization of the "Vijñaptimātratā" (Consciousness-Only) doctrine in Buddhism, one cannot truly ascend, elevate, and transcend—what else can be done?
Why must there be such a process of cultivation? Regardless of any emerging religion derived from the five major teachings, it is essential to thoroughly and truthfully engage with the "principles of Consciousness-Only," which are precisely the foundation of "mind-only consciousness." This also requires humanity to discern, in every moment and every instant, whether the arising thoughts are truly one's own present manifestations.
All phenomena arise from causes and conditions, seamlessly integrating the myriad functions and actions of the human world into the roles one comprehends. Yet, one fails to discern: from where do these functions originate, and by what names are they known? Moreover, all that one does in the present moment arises entirely from one's own "mind-only consciousness."
The principles of Yogācāra are applied by humans at every moment.
How could such a situation arise when I am using it every day, every moment, every instant? All human beings must, through the reflection of their own consciousness, present to me all their actions and everything they have accomplished: one’s own behaviors and deeds necessitate the principle of "consciousness-only"!
How can there be a truer and transcendent growth? Human beings, unable to grasp the essence of such growth, would instead remain trapped in the decadent world of the five impurities. This limitation and hindrance is precisely why the benevolent virtue of Heaven manifests in response, guiding all living beings of the vast world in their existential direction, enabling humanity to ascend in genuine growth.
This is not a matter of divine favoritism toward the Buddhist "Consciousness-Only doctrine." Rather, it is a response to those who genuinely cultivate and practice, addressing how to establish wholesome educational courses for the present time. Why does Heaven deem it necessary to integrate the five major religions of the human world? It is to draw upon the essence of each religion and apply it accordingly.
The integration of the five religions will reduce the scourge of war.
It is precisely the truth for me in this present life, that one can attain the true return beyond necessity. This means that even as such learning and growth continue, it will no longer resemble past eras, where each dynasty suffered from different religious wars. Moreover, it makes no distinction between the Middle Kingdom and any nation in the world, all of which have been assailed by the scourge of religious conflict.
This kind of gathering will cause the precious lives of humanity to fade away, unable to elevate the necessity for the growth of all human beings. At the same time, it also applies the strengths and weaknesses of the five major teachings of the world to all human beings, enabling them to ascend and grow in necessity. Truly, within a single lifetime, one can perfectly embody and transcend the teachings of these five traditions.
This is a very truthful approach to the necessity for the upward growth of all human beings. It also allows the essence of all five major religions in the world to be genuinely explored within a single lifetime. The principles of Consciousness-Only studies, in particular, serve as a highly advanced catalyst for the evolution of civilization among humanity, thereby benefiting all human beings.
The five great teachings of the world converge,  
Each with its virtues, clarity must be sought.
Just as one truly engages in exploration,  
the mysteries within are bestowed by heaven.
The principles of Consciousness-Only are of great importance,  
Each step must be taken with steady and solid effort.
To grow and flourish, humanity must awaken to the truth and leap forward.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. For humanity, why is it necessary to integrate the five major religions? By extracting the essential teachings and strengths of each faith, humanity can truly have the opportunity for virtuous elevation and transcendence. In this human world, it is essential to be truthful and steadfast: step by step, footprint by footprint, each impression must be made solidly and brought to completion.
Thank you all for accompanying this work and spending some time with the Chongxin lineage. Regarding the survival orientation of all sentient beings, we will also apply the specialized principles of Buddhist "Consciousness-Only" philosophy. This can benefit oneself in the human world while also benefiting all sentient beings, creating favorable conditions and causes for mutual benefit. You have all worked hard. Farewell!
Chapter Sixteen: Nineteen Demonic Natures, Nature Biased and Heart Absent
## Nanji Changsheng Dadi
September 29, 2015, the seventeenth day of the eighth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
The Supreme Celestial of the Wuji Immortal Path ascends,  
Gathering together with the revered deities and sages of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well, and may the whole be truly united in heart and purpose.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Dao True Buddha Lord has sent the Immortal Buddha, the Ancient Buddha of the Southern Sea, to descend and compose the fourth installment of "The Universe of the Great Dao": an analysis of the necessity of elevating all souls and the principles of Consciousness-Only. This is addressed to everyone: why is the integration of the "Five Teachings" necessary!
This is a fundamental policy of Heaven, and it can only be implemented by educating and guiding humanity. Achieving favorable outcomes is not an instantaneous process; it requires a prolonged period of effort to bear fruit. Therefore, Heaven bestows this functional efficacy, which is received and upheld through the Chongxin lineage, serving to elevate and propagate the mission of the "Vanguard of the Great Dao."
This endeavor requires the collective effort of everyone to promote and expand it, in order to achieve good results. Additionally, tomorrow is Saturday, and all guidance activities will proceed as usual. The day after tomorrow marks the auspicious date for this month's repentance ceremony of our lineage. I hope everyone will join together to warmly welcome and receive the good connections that return, as they will become the future driving force. Alright, that is all for today. Farewell, everyone, and thank you for your hard work!
Chapter Seventeen: Twenty Demonic Natures, Without Mind or Nature
##The Bodhisattva Who Proclaims Universally in the Western Heaven
October 2, 2015, the twentieth day of the eighth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Great Emperor of Eastern Pole, Qinghua, Descends;  
The Chongxin Lineage Extends Its Auspicious Influence to Distant Lands.
The Great Dao is the essence of the universe;  
The Three Pure Ones impart teachings to bestow auspiciousness.
All sentient beings will then be distinguished as either Buddhas or demons.
When sentient beings enter the human realm, many of them will encounter thoughts and ideas similar to their own, leading to significant deviations in behavior. Although such causal conditions may be observed through the same matter, they can give rise to different natures and distinctions. How, then, can we address the inadequacies in these distinctions of nature? And how will such humanity confront the challenges of survival?
It is precisely from the principles of Buddhist Yogācāra that one can deduce: the perceptions of the eyes seeing forms, the ears hearing sounds, the nose smelling scents, the tongue tasting flavors, and the body sensing touch. If viewed through the first five consciousnesses, sentient beings fundamentally share no different habitual tendencies. However, when all phenomena arise from mental consciousness, this leads to distinctions among humans based on their inherent natures from the past.
Through the accumulation of various generational habits, integrated into the present era, a phenomenon emerges: one has already entered the "spiritual sixth consciousness" to observe how the fundamental nature manifests. Thus, it becomes discernible: the distinction between the Buddha and the demon as two different entities, and these habitual tendencies are then imprinted into the seventh manas consciousness.
Afterwards, the seventh consciousness, Manas, further discriminates, and the various perceived causal entities, through different causal conditions, manifest even greater distinctions. Human beings, according to the Buddhist principle of "Consciousness-Only," input through the activation of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, and in response to the manifestations of form, sound, smell, taste, and touch, the sixth consciousness of thought gives rise to all phenomena.
How to Distinguish the Nature of Human Beings
At this time, the distinction between the "Buddha-nature and demon-nature essence" among human beings had not yet been differentiated, nor had the discrimination of the seventh Manas consciousness been entered. Yet, all past unwholesome habits and tendencies were stirred up, often arising unconsciously, manifesting as a distinct displeasure toward matters and circumstances—a reflection of one's own unwholesome mental formations.
If we observe this type of human beings: each will have different distinctions, with varying perceptions and natures regarding all matters in the human world. Therefore, why do human beings develop the differentiation between Buddha and demon? In fact, if we consider a single matter in itself: fundamentally, there is no inherently negative intention; it is only through humans that ancient predispositions are imposed upon it.
Thus, a dualistic view of Buddha and Mara is formed! This condition of causality is fundamentally incomprehensible to most human beings: I myself possess Buddha-nature, yet I also harbor Mara-nature! The general populace likely does not recognize this truth, but from the perspective of the genuine distinction between Buddha and Mara, it is indeed so!
Furthermore, regarding this perspective: sentient beings fundamentally fail to comprehend why such malevolent demonic nature suddenly manifests within them. This causal condition constitutes a crucial link in the "mutual transformation between Buddha and demon." Yet, sentient beings inherently lack the capacity to discern the essence of this immediate issue.
It can be clearly seen that a tiny discrepancy can lead to a vast error.
At the outset, the divergence may be minuscule, yet it leads to a vast disparity in the future. Such individuals initially possess a keen sense of awareness, clearly feeling that something is amiss. However, if the circumstances of time and space persist too long, it transforms into: how could one who was originally a virtuous practitioner become what they are now?
Gradually, I have become something even I cannot comprehend, realizing that I am drifting further and further away. I have begun to manifest the inherent demonic nature that humans have possessed since their origins. This leads to significant differences among human beings. Therefore, in the process of becoming human beings, at the very moment of alternating between the states of Buddha and demon, the first step is to suppress this demonic nature.
This will then develop into a rather adverse reaction towards me. This is often how sentient beings behave. Why are there so many "heroists" in the human world? If they can be guided towards the growth of goodness, they serve as excellent examples; if not, they will create many irresolvable confusions and obstacles for a group.
It is also because human beings, driven by their individual "heroism," will obstruct this group, forming opposing rhetoric and further slander. This is precisely what the ancients referred to as "shedding the blood of the Buddha"! Thus, in Buddhism, "shedding the blood of the Buddha" is used as a metaphor for something utterly unacceptable and born of ill intent.
Human intentionality is greatly related to the differentiation of sexual orientation.
When observed from the perspective of the eighth consciousness, this kind of intention indicates that one has already entered the realm of demonic nature. To break free from it, immense determination and perseverance are required to overcome such limiting obstacles. Therefore, for sentient beings in the human realm who find themselves in this state of "mutual transformation between Buddha and demon," it is essential to understand where the deviation lies.
It is also essential to realize: Among the manifestations of Buddha-nature and demon-nature in human beings, sentient beings fundamentally cannot distinguish between them, nor can they perceive this detrimental nature, which has already tainted the emergence of their Buddha-mind. Why, then, do sentient beings give rise to the manifestation of the demon-mind? It is precisely because it emerges imperceptibly, without their awareness!
Human beings are also unable to comprehend the nature of their own limitations. By distinguishing the different aspects of the eighth consciousness, one can understand: humans are destined to enter the current era through the computer window, and thereafter, they must begin by selecting from numerous options regarding various forms of storage before they can proceed further.
This kind of entry into the diversity of various natures can be understood by human beings through computer networks. Among these, how can one discern the differences in all "Buddha-demon natures"? How should I evolve? And how should the problems be resolved? Consequently, after opening the computer window, what will happen next?
The manifestation of Buddha and demons reveals what humanity cannot perceive.
Regarding all that is to come, it will be under my own control, not in the hands of others. This is the evolution of human beings: the distinction between "the manifestation of Buddha-nature and the manifestation of demonic nature" leads to different intentions in choosing which nature to enter. How can one explore extensively? It is through one's own practice and conduct that evolution is achieved.
In the human world, the distinction between "the manifestation of demonic nature and the manifestation of Buddha nature" is an issue that sentient beings can discern. However, most people unknowingly enter the realm of the "Buddha-demon nature entity," fundamentally unable to discern: how should one evolve, and what is the true understanding of the nature of all beings?
This inherent disposition in the human world inevitably becomes part of one's self-perception, yet without the guidance of wise mentors, it leads to a common observation among sentient beings: every individual begins as inherently good, but when it comes to the perspectives and pitfalls in action, humanity remains unable to free itself from the obstacles of ignorance.
This kind of ignorance and obstruction can lead one's actions to deviate from the essential requirements for humane existence. As can be observed through media in today's era, even a kind-hearted student may take up a knife and kill without reason, remaining unflinching and unrepentant, even believing themselves to be a "heroic" figure.
In the human realm, all natures are distinguished between the Buddha and the demon.
Thus, a portion of humanity came to yearn for such acts of slaughter, seeing in them a path to fame. This human world, once concerned with mere survival and basic sustenance, has now transformed into one where appearances can no longer reveal the truth: what of thoughts and intentions? This marks the descent of humankind into the manifestation of its demonic nature.
Those who believe themselves to be absolutely righteous practitioners, if viewed from the perspective of ordinary human beings, have long entered a time and space where demonic nature is manifest. Should they not reflect on their own behavior? In fact, they never do! This reveals why it is said: when virtue rises by a foot, vice rises by ten; when virtue rises by ten, vice manifests right above one’s head!
All human beings possess this flawed nature, which, when integrated into each individual's "heroism," gives rise to harmful intentions. This, in turn, genuinely shatters the virtuous existence of humanity. This is merely the first step in the manifestation of all demonic traits, and it has not yet even entered the "nine to twenty levels" of the future.
In this process, it must have been previously stored in the eighth consciousness, the "Ālāyavijñāna," which is entirely identical, and will be distinguished from the ninth consciousness of Buddha-nature, the "Amalavijñāna." As for the ninth consciousness of demonic nature, how is it to be understood? In the future, these "levels of demonic nature" will also be analyzed.
The transformation between Buddha and Mara must be clearly understood;  
The seeds of Buddha-nature should be planted with appropriate conditions.
The nature of demonic seeds is difficult to comprehend;  
When the two intermingle, differences arise.
Distinguishing by the level of demonic nature,  
From nine to twenty, each diverges distinctly.
To shape the diverse natures of humanity is a profound task, for altering their inherent will proves exceedingly difficult.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it aims to analyze and clarify for everyone the "Buddha-Demon Nature" of human beings, distinguishing between the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature and the twenty levels of demon-nature. Throughout the ages, such an understanding has never descended into the human realm to manifest—how then can one discern its profound mysteries?
We also appreciate everyone's companionship and dedication. Observing the Chongxin lineage today, along with the karmic connections from past times, the atmosphere is truly excellent and deeply moving! It will undoubtedly benefit the future elevation of all sentient beings, fostering favorable conditions for growth, which is something we can look forward to. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Eighteen: The Variance of Demonic Nature, The Divergence in Levels
## The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei
October 6, 2015, the twenty-fourth day of the eighth lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
The Supreme Venerable Sovereign of Universal Transformation ascends,  
Gathering together with all the divine beings and virtuous people of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Grateful for the Emperor's profound grace and benevolence.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of Eastern Azure Radiance descended to compose the fifth chapter of "The Universe of the Great Dao." This chapter begins with an analysis of "the manifestation of demonic nature," aiming to help everyone understand why, since ancient times, humanity has been confined within the obstacles of "the manifestation of the demonic entity."
This is the first time such an analysis has been conducted in the human world, and within the teachings of the Chongxin lineage, disciples can discern: What issues arise from the "heroism" I have currently instilled in each individual? This can also create significant negative interference, infiltrating every religious community and setting a harmful example.
It will give others a rather unpleasant and unagreeable impression—this is a point of human weakness. Can you understand this? Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Tomorrow evening, a Zen master will give a lecture. Let’s all come and dig for treasures! That’s all for today. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Nineteen: Demonic Nature and True Suchness — Heaven’s Examination
##The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Principle Sutra
October 9, 2015, the twenty-seventh day of the eighth lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Great Celestial Emperor of the Supreme Ultimate Descends,  
The Great Dao Series Extends Its Auspicious Signs Across Vast Borders.
When mortals give rise to intentions, buddhas and demons part ways;  
The ninth demonic nature is that of wickedness.
All sentient beings will then be distinguished as either Buddha or Mara.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they become stirred by the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and consciousness, which then enter the seventh *manas* consciousness and the eighth *ālaya* consciousness for storage. This process distinguishes the division between "Buddha and Mara." That is, within the first to the eighth consciousness, there is no inherent distinction, yet it is through the ninth consciousness that manifestation arises.
Regarding the initial stronghold of demonic nature, it is thus that the manifestations arising from demonic nature in relation to all my functions differ from those arising in ordinary human beings. This distinction is made by the ninth demonic nature, which determines why human beings interweave with Buddha-nature, resulting in different qualities. Such conditions are also differentiated by the ninth demonic nature.
At the same time, it also allows sentient beings to understand: having already entered the ninth level of demonic nature, one fundamentally cannot fully comprehend oneself, and thus will differentiate all worldly intentions. Such causal conditions have already entered into the intentions of the ninth level of demonic nature—so what then? At this point, sentient beings remain utterly unaware!
Having already entered this realm oneself, yet when observed from the outside, one gradually reveals a more ferocious appearance. From this, it can also be understood why sentient beings, in relation to themselves, have already differentiated based on individual thoughts, concepts, and mental states, thereby giving rise to their existence in the human world.
How to Distinguish the Nature of Human Beings
Regarding all entities in the human world, how can there be a virtuous foundation? This gives rise to the Ninth Demonic Nature in the human realm: the consciousness of delusion and manipulation, which manifests a stark contrast to the Ninth Buddha Nature: the pure consciousness of amala. Consequently, the distinction becomes profoundly vast, and human beings are unable to comprehend it through the "demonic nature."
This ninth form of demonic nature, as it evolves, presents a challenge for me: how can it be transformed into a foundation of goodness? Yet, for the most part, within this nature, it is already exceedingly difficult to turn back! The ninth demonic nature, known as "Wanqiao Nongshi," is something that human beings are hearing about for the very first time!
This so-called "Wanqiao Nongshi" is also known as the ninth consciousness of demonic nature. Human beings have always been influenced by the eight consciousnesses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, mind, manas, and alaya. Beyond these lies the Wanqiao Nongshi, which gives rise to many deviant behaviors such as greed, anger, and ignorance within oneself, and can also distort originally wholesome intentions.
At this point, one has already entered into a different state of consciousness, which is identical to the eighth consciousness mentioned earlier: the Alaya consciousness. However, if one enters through the ninth demonic nature—that is, the Wanqiao Nong consciousness—the state, held by the relativity of the ninth Buddha nature, the Amala consciousness, will be entirely different.
It becomes clear that a minute deviation can lead to a thousand-mile error.
Moreover, with behaviors and actions that one believes to be different from those of others, this kind of "playful manipulation of perception" also arises from a certain demonic nature. It manifests in distinguishing and imposing many different thoughts and concepts upon human beings. What is clearly supposed to be right is thus disrupted, as the ninth demonic nature—the playful manipulation of perception—becomes prominent once again!
This kind of karmic effect is thus different from that of ordinary people; at the same time, it draws out the negative seeds stored in past times and spaces. In the human world, the ninth aspect of demonic nature has never been understood, leading to the belief that demonic nature is of only one kind. However, when viewed from the perspective of the vast cosmos, different times and spaces and karmic conditions give rise to various manifestations of demonic nature.
Under different circumstances of time and space, the ninth demonic nature—Manipulating Consciousness through Illusion—manifests within the vast universe. This is an issue that ordinary human beings fundamentally fail to recognize. Therefore, once a person has come to understand the ninth demonic nature—Manipulating Consciousness through Illusion—they have already entered its realm. How then can they retreat? It is already too late!
How then can we differentiate again through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, manas consciousness, and alaya consciousness? Such is the nature of human beings, who also distinguish themselves from all demonic manifestations through the deceptive play of consciousness. Yet why is it that they cannot discern the causes and conditions of time and space in that moment, and instead retreat into the alaya consciousness?
Human intention is closely related to the differentiation of sexual orientation.
Once human beings come into existence, there will always be the thought: "I must surpass you!" This kind of arrogant mindset gradually pollutes a sentient being. Is there truly an opportunity for change? Generally speaking, through the eyes observing form, ears hearing sound, nose smelling fragrance, tongue tasting flavor, and body sensing touch, one can discern everything.
Do sentient beings have any inherent goodness to rely upon? This arises from the manas consciousness entering into the alaya consciousness, where no different manifestations have yet emerged. How, then, can I rectify and dissolve these differing thoughts and concepts? In my present state, how should I undertake such rectification and transformation?
For ordinary human beings, there are generally not too many problematic points. However, after passing through the ālayavijñāna (storehouse consciousness), the human world becomes divided into the growth of Buddha-nature and the distinction of demonic nature. At this point, if one can be guided by virtuous knowledge, one will not fall into the ninth level of demonic nature: the realm of delusive manipulation of consciousness.
If one has already entered into the state of "playing with consciousness at the bridge of illusions," it is still possible to retreat and withdraw at this point. However, for ordinary sentient beings, who fundamentally lack such a concept to rely upon, even if they have entered into the state of playing with consciousness at the bridge of illusions, they will neither cultivate nor change. Instead, they will often believe themselves to be entirely correct!
The manifestation of Buddha and demons reveals what humanity cannot perceive.
The understanding of demonic nature is merely entry into the conceptual framework of the ninth level of demonic attributes. Yet, it remains fundamentally incomprehensible to sentient beings: it lies in the causes of demonic nature, which are differentiated and manifested across the ninth to twentieth levels of demonic attributes. Each level exhibits distinct manifestations, and similarly, all demonic natures are distinguished and discerned.
Regarding the Ninth Aspect of Demonic Nature: What is "Wan Qiao Nong Shi"? Many believe that humanity is merely a manifestation of demonic nature, and that demonic nature is singular in essence. In truth, this is not the case. When distinguished by demonic nature, the formation of the ninth aspect—Wan Qiao Nong Shi—emerges in response to all phenomena arising in the present moment. Its foundation is entirely distinct from that of Buddha-nature.
How then can we advance further in our evolution? If we consider all our actions to be entirely correct, and fail to recognize and manifest all aspects of human existence, can humanity truly penetrate the nature of demonic tendencies? Without any such experience at all, how can we come to understand and discern the actions of every human being?
Conversely, can clarity be achieved through the ninth demonic nature: the manipulation of consciousness at the Wandering Bridge? This has already become exceedingly difficult! Once all human actions and behaviors in the world have entered the realm of the Wandering Bridge's consciousness manipulation, it is nearly impossible to turn back. This is largely because most of what humanity sees and knows is passed down from predecessors.
The Ninth Demonic Nature: The Intent Behind the Playful Teasing at Wan Bridge
The analysis provided by these past classical canons and treatises, and how they interpret the scriptures, is merely a function of past time and space, making it exceedingly difficult to comprehend the ninth demonic nature: the playful manipulation of consciousness! In contrast, sentient beings inherently lack the capacity for innate immunity. This very condition of causation lies in the deficiency of innate immune ability.
How can one maintain goodness? And how should I discern and differentiate demonic nature? It is indeed extremely difficult! Under such conditions, one may fall into it, yet be unable to discern what state they have entered. Therefore, ordinary human beings are generally unable to possess the function of "innate immunity."
Thus, in the practice of human beings, significant deviations have emerged; this has also evolved into the ninth demonic nature: within the realm of delusion and manipulation of consciousness, can one discern its true meaning, and to what extent? Even amidst the manifestation of the fifteenth demonic nature, such notions are entirely absent, leading one to believe that the path entered is indeed correct!
Regarding the Ninth Manifestation of Demonic Nature: The illusions and consciousness that arise from the playful mind are all brought about by human factors. When one fails to recognize one’s own state amidst all these manifestations, they have already fallen into demonic nature. Moreover, they may even take pride in this, mistakenly believing that their thoughts and actions differ from others, and that they alone are the foremost in the world.
The senses of sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and thought come to an end,  
While the Manas and Alaya consciousnesses rise to prominence.
Distinguishing what has not yet entered the nature's essence,  
The ninth demonic nature plays with the Wanqiao Bridge.
Human beings do not understand  
That such intentions should not be harbored.
How to Strengthen Immunity: The Knowledge of Virtue Widely Promulgated
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings; for all those in the world who are amidst the manifestation of demonic nature, may they understand the origins and intricacies of it all! We shall also dissect the foremost demonic nature in the world, which pertains to the ninth: the playful recognition and discernment at Wanqiao. Henceforth, it shall continue to be written in this manner.
The demonic entities, from the ninth to the twentieth levels, have all been distinguished according to their different natures. Today, observing the Chongxin Sect lineage and comparing it with past temporal karmic connections, the energy field is remarkably favorable and truly heart-touching! Genuine elevation and benefit are certain to foster auspicious karmic growth, which is also something to look forward to. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 20: The Demonic Nature Level, Self-Incurred Harm
##The Vast Cosmos, Star Lord of the Eastern Dipper
October 13, 2015, the first day of the ninth month in the year of Yiwei (Tuesday)
The Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Limitless Ascends,  
Together with all deities and sages of the Revered Heart, they gather.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The first layer of heaven and earth's mysteries to tell.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Supreme Celestial Emperor of the Great Ultimate has descended to compose the sixth installment of "The Great Dao Universe," unraveling a mystery that has endured through the ages. It clarifies the ninth aspect of demonic nature: the understanding of "Wan Qiao Nong Shi," allowing everyone to obtain firsthand information through the "Chongxin Lineage."
In the exposition of the manifestation of demonic nature, how can one gradually achieve personal realization of functions that were previously incomprehensible? This is because the heavenly immortals, Buddhas, and teachers regard the Chongxin lineage and its disciples as bodhisattvas in training. Thus, under heaven, there has never been a revelation of celestial secrets for widespread dissemination.
Have you found the analysis of the demonic nature's functions to be quite novel? This is precisely the most sublime aspect of the Chongxin lineage! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can join together to learn and grow! Strive diligently for your own future achievements—this is the true path! That concludes today's session. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter Twenty-One: The Transformation of Demonic Nature, Profound Kung Fu
##The Scripture-Transmitting Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven
October 16, 2015, the fourth day of the ninth month in the Year of Yiwei (Friday)
The Southern Pole's Eternal Life descends in visitation,  
The lineage of the Revered Heart renews its vital essence.
The Seventh Chapter of the Great Dao Universe: The Tenth Emptiness Nature of Demonic Nature
The Demonic Nature Distinguishes the Nine to Twenty Consciousnesses
When sentient beings enter the human world, they possess a nature of Buddha, a nature of Mara, and an ordinary nature. These three aspects collectively necessitate the human realm to rely on the "mutual transformation and convergence of Buddha and Mara." This applies to all human beings, regardless of whether they have entered into religious faith or not.
This kind of causal condition can be understood as follows: for human beings, it is precisely through the six sense faculties—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—along with the manas consciousness and the ālaya consciousness, that distinctions arise within the "mutual transformation of Buddha and Mara." In this process, demonic nature becomes manifest. For the human world, it also means entering the classification of the ninth demonic nature through the contemplation known as "Wanqiao Nongshi."
Thus, the manifestation of demonic nature arises, shaping all practices in the human world to create another realm, and forming the essence of "Wanqiao Nongshi." For such beings, human beings fundamentally cannot distinguish clearly, so why would I fall into the ninth level of demonic nature? In terms of "Wanqiao Nongshi," how would human beings fare?
This results in an inability to engage in deeper contemplation, making it exceedingly difficult to distinguish between Buddha and Mara. It is precisely this distinction between "Buddha and Mara" that leaves sentient beings unable to understand: I should rely on and uphold the Buddha-nature! Yet why do all my thoughts and perceptions persistently descend into the ninth level of Mara's domain?
How to Distinguish the Demonic Nature in Human Beings
Wan Qiao Nong Shi: It lies in being unaware and thus incapable of discerning. All phenomena arising in the human world are precisely like this! Especially when it comes to taking responsibility for oneself, this is the ninth demonic nature: the origin of Wan Qiao Nong Shi. It distinguishes between the exploration of Buddha and demon, and this state has already entered the ninth demonic consciousness.
If one wishes to withdraw, it is essential to have the guidance of virtuous mentors and enlightened teachers to reconstruct such thoughts and perspectives. This is a method of retreat, but it also requires the willingness of the individual involved. What would happen, then, if one were to descend from the realm of delusive perception into the tenth illumination of demonic nature—the illusion of emptiness and consciousness?
This kind of illuminating illusion and understanding of emptiness is precisely what has already manifested in the human world, corresponding to the tenth level of demonic nature. The consciousness that illuminates illusion and perceives emptiness directly enters the thoughts and concepts of human beings, simultaneously releasing all the inherent flawed dispositions from the past in an instant. As a result, human beings are left utterly bewildered and unable to comprehend it.
Why have I fallen into this: the adverse influence of illusory, empty consciousness? It has also made it impossible for me to rely on a virtuous direction whenever I wish to change. Due to the harmful intentions arising from this illusory, empty consciousness, all the more malicious dispositions from the past emerge and join in. Such beings among humanity are exceedingly difficult to comprehend in all their actions.
The demonic nature plants its seeds, playing with perception at the bridge of illusion.
On the Nature of Evil, Tenth: The consciousness that perceives illusions as empty is incapable of true discernment. Moreover, it is precisely because human beings operate through this flawed consciousness—which misapprehends illusions as emptiness—that all manner of vicious thoughts arise and accumulate within the human realm. Furthermore, human beings fundamentally fail to comprehend what consequences may follow after toying with such deluded consciousness.
It is bound to re-enter: within the illusory nature of emptiness and consciousness, this kind of habitual tendency inherently possesses a degree of immutability. Moreover, when human beings frequently manifest through such demonic influences, as for me: how can there be a space for wholesome purification? In truth, it is exceedingly rare, and there is neither good spiritual guidance nor the awakening bestowed by high-level immortals and buddhas as teachers.
For ordinary human beings, this awareness continuously penetrates inward, yet they are unable to discern the illusory nature of phenomena and the emptiness of consciousness. This lack of understanding and conceptual clarity plunges humanity into a state of profound and seemingly inescapable distress. Yet even within such circumstances of time and space, there remains a subtle reliance upon the inherent Buddha-nature.
Human thoughts and concepts create a state of tension and restraint. Within one's own demonic nature, there remains a trace of Buddha-nature that pulls against it. In such a time and space, a sentient human being emerges. If one seeks to distinguish and enter into the struggle between "demonic nature and Buddha-nature," it simultaneously restrains and suppresses the emergence of the demonic nature.
The Tenth Illumination of Demonic Nature: The Emptiness of Illusory Nature and Consciousness
However, if the ordinary person fundamentally lacks such profound practice to effect a reversal, how can the overall "manifestation of demonic nature" be redirected? It is exceedingly difficult! In the human world, even if one enters through "delusion and attachment to consciousness" into the "function of illuminating illusion and realizing emptiness of consciousness," how can there be an opportunity for transformation? It is even more challenging!
"According to the illusory nature of emptiness and consciousness," since one has already entered the tenth level of differentiation within demonic nature, human beings in the first eight consciousnesses do not distinguish between Buddha and demon. However, upon entering the ninth consciousness, how should one begin to redirect and transform the demonic nature to manifest the Buddha nature? Such a practice must be truly extraordinary!
How does the demonic nature evolve? This evolution is manifested through the ninth stage of the demonic nature: the consciousness of playful deception, which then enters the function of the tenth stage: the consciousness illuminating illusion and emptiness. This process continuously deepens into the evolution of the eleventh consciousness, much like the distinctions in the evolution of the Buddha-nature. The difference lies solely in the various causes and conditions through which it is realized. How, then, does this occur?
It is precisely by passing through each barrier that one enters into this state. At this point, regarding the "playful recognition at the Wandering Bridge" and the complete manifestation of the illusory nature of emptiness and consciousness, many things that were not originally intended by oneself will arise. However, once having entered the eleventh level, it becomes impossible to alter the course for human beings, and they will inevitably continue to evolve and ascend within it.
The demonic nature manifests what humanity cannot perceive.
Simultaneously, the deeds and actions performed in the human world shape what becomes unalterable for me in this lifetime. This indeed raises the question: why do such intentions arise in the human realm, and can they be changed? However, once entering the demonic nature that follows the eleventh consciousness, it can no longer be transformed. This particular spacetime will inevitably allow humanity to continue evolving and growing.
However, this evolution is no longer merely the demonic nature as commonly understood; it has even delved into the very essence of the demonic, manifesting itself against me. What then should be done? And how should the demonic nature be dealt with after the eleventh stage? This, in itself, is a form of growth for the demonic nature, yet such growth is by no means a positive enhancement!
Instead, it grows from the negative side. While both are forms of growth, the distinction between them is immense. It is precisely this kind of demonic nature within humanity that manifests itself, making it difficult for people in the world to discern: What should one do? It is indeed exceedingly challenging! At the same time, there is also a situation of being pulled in opposite directions.
The Tenth Consciousness: Illuminating the Illusory Nature and Emptiness of Consciousness
On the other hand, there is mutual restraint. If there is insufficient understanding of righteous principles among sentient beings, significant differences will arise. This is precisely because ordinary sentient beings, with such conflicting thoughts and concepts, create a tug-of-war. This leads to a state of mutual restraint, raising the question: how should the force applied to a matter be properly managed?
This is also the orientation of existence for all human beings, where positive and negative aspects pull against each other, restrain one another, and create a tension between them. This is precisely where human beings most frequently employ wisdom and judgment. At the same time, it is also where, when the karma of countless lifetimes arrives, all that is virtuous and all that is flawed within humanity come into play.
This is the most fundamental mental formation of sentient beings, which is also the judgment most difficult for humans to choose between right and wrong. It often does not incline toward the good but rather tends toward the unfavorable. Why does this become the root of creating unwholesome karma? It arises from the mental formation of the tenth consciousness, which illuminates the illusory nature of emptiness, differing only in degree from the initial stage of the Buddha realm. Humanity lacks this kind of discerning thought—what more can be done?
By the bridge, one recognizes reliance and support;  
Illuminating illusion, emptiness is thus reality.
The foundation of the first stage of the Buddha realm  
Both intertwine to create the primordial origin.
All sentient beings in their essence,
Are thus mutually reliant and sustained.
To transform the union of Buddha and demon,
Few in the world can share in its nourishment.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: the tenth demonic nature—discerning the illusory nature of emptiness and consciousness—is precisely the initial stage of Buddha-nature confronting all forms of pulling, tension, and restraint. If one pulls correctly, human beings will not create evil karma; if one loses in the tug-of-war, human beings will indeed create evil karma.
It is hoped that this analysis can serve as a discernible guide for all sentient beings, offering insights that foster mutual growth. Today, the aura of the Chongxin Sect is exceptionally gentle and vibrant. Let us all strive diligently to promote its teachings! The Old Immortal will stay with the Chongxin Sect for the night and observe how tomorrow's "typhoon" unfolds. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell for now!
Chapter Twenty-Two: The Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao, Aligning with the Cycles of Union and Separation
##The Vast Cosmos, Star Lord of the Western Dipper
October 20, 2015, the eighth day of the ninth lunar month in the yimao year (Tuesday)
Qi Yang descended from the Western Heaven, arriving to bestow the supreme wisdom of the Chongxin lineage.
All endeavors are for the sake of all beings,  
Toiling in this life to create a legacy for ten thousand generations.
All Saints, Buddhas, and virtuous beings, as well as the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the South Pole and Eternal Life has personally descended to compose the seventh chapter of "The Universe of the Great Dao," addressing the tenth demonic nature: the function of illuminating illusion, emptiness, and consciousness, which enables the discernment of all human endeavors and serves as the foundation for conduct and action.
Within the human realm, there exists an unresolved tension, a kind of causal condition that sentient beings fundamentally fail to comprehend. This lies in the tenth demonic nature: the application of the illusory, empty consciousness, which is in mutual contention with the initial stage of the Buddha realm. Moreover, such worldly education has never been properly studied!
There will be no lecture later today. After the ceremonial procedures are completed, the class will be dismissed directly. The later it gets, the closer the typhoon approaches, so everyone must be careful on your way home—this is the proper way! Tomorrow is Saturday again, with the theme "Chan Insights to Dispel Delusions." If no one comes to inquire in person, there is no need to take the stage for online inquiries; it will be postponed to the next session.
If anyone comes to inquire, we will handle it early! This is to avoid unforeseen circumstances caused by the typhoon. I hope everyone will be careful! Do you understand? Also, all diligent students today, having come to the hall to write and attend classes, deserve the recognition of the immortal teachers and Buddhas. Let’s give ourselves a round of applause! Thank you all for your hard work. I shall stop writing here. Farewell!
Chapter 23: The Unification of the Dao's Origin, Foundation of the Three Purities
## Western Heaven Path-Research Bodhisattva
October 23, 2015, the eleventh day of the ninth month in the year of Yiyou (Friday)
The Northern Pole, Celestial Pivot, the First Realm of the World,  
The Great Emperor of Purple Tenuity descends to bestow his covenant.
The Great Dao: The Universe's Demonic Nature Chapter — The Eleven Realms of Demonic Nature, the Common Realm's Great Disorder
The distinction between Buddha and Mara lies in their differing natures.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they acquire both a Buddha-nature and a demon-nature, which coexist and support each other. How, then, can the Buddha-nature be nurtured and expanded? This pivotal opportunity and cause has been elucidated within the Chongxin lineage for nearly nineteen years. Now, by dissecting the entirety of the demon-nature, we explore the causes and conditions for all human practices to achieve the "mutual transformation of Buddha and demon."
How can there be an upward growth rather than a downward decline within such limitations? Human beings have never been able to understand how demonic nature arises and manifests. It is precisely within the constraints of failing to comprehend and realize all my present actions and practices that human beings evolve through this very process!
Regarding the distinction between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature," Buddha-nature is said to proceed through the faculties of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind, then through the manas-consciousness, the ālaya-consciousness, and the amala-consciousness, before entering the "Four Truths of Buddha-nature" at the first, second, third, and fourth stages of Buddha-nature. As for demon-nature, it is described as progressing from the faculties of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind into the manas-consciousness.
Reentering the Alaya Consciousness, these natures are entirely identical. The distinctions thus made are based on: the ninth demonic nature, "the consciousness of playful deception"; the tenth, "the consciousness illuminating illusion as empty"; and the eleventh, "the consciousness of the mundane realm’s fundamental non-existence." Regarding "the consciousness of the mundane realm’s fundamental non-existence," one may discern: how are distinctions further made concerning the causes of demonic nature?
How does human nature discern all distinctions?
Within this "ignorance of the mundane realm," when the Buddhist realm and the mundane realm are set in mutual opposition, the distinction between the two becomes clear. Why, then, does demonic nature arise? Regarding the "ignorance of the mundane realm," it is through all worldly actions that one has already entered into demonic nature, yet remains unable to discern what this truly is.
Why have I entered the eleventh demonic state, "The Common Realm of Utter Ignorance"? For human beings, this state would involve no reliance on any material existence, consisting merely of illusory thoughts. Yet many demonic influences join within it, precisely within the eleventh demonic state, "The Common Realm of Utter Ignorance."
This kind of demonic nature is on an upward growth trajectory. In response to this upward-growing cause and condition, similarly, it serves a certain function, yet it will not gain the recognition of sentient beings across the vast world. Within such a "realm of pervasive ignorance," what becomes of the distinctions among all the types of demonic natures that enter the human world?
The process of "transforming the common realm into a state of profound ignorance" is, for me, impossible to fully comprehend in all its problematic aspects. This lingering state of doubt itself serves as a condition for upward growth. However, within such upward growth, ordinary individuals generally find no cause for joy or exultation, as it yields no truly gratifying or uplifting effects.
The demonic nature of the eleven common realms is vast and boundless, unknowable.
This is a function of achieving fulfillment through opposition, and it involves entering from the opposite side: For me, how should I proceed to ascend and grow? It is precisely through this that I can attain a righteous path of elevation, thereby forming a kind of reverse growth for myself. Although both are forms of growth, they cannot be truly and genuinely experienced in the same way!
This pertains to the collective conditions formed by the vast cosmos, celestial bodies, and galactic systems—a kind of karma that cannot rely on the support of heaven, earth, or the cosmic galaxies. Under such karmic conditions, it is impossible to discern why one enters into such a state. Moreover, within these limitations, distinctions arise, differentiating the perceptions within my ninth consciousness of demonic nature.
It is precisely a kind of Buddha-nature: the *Amalavijñāna*, which has transformed into not the *Amalavijñāna*, but rather evolved through the ninth demonic nature: the *Wanqiao Nongshi*, to govern all human conduct in the world. Such humanity is pitifully evolved, growing in a similar manner, yet it does not meet the conditions recognized by heaven, earth, or the cosmos.
Thus, one has already entered this realm of limitations and obstacles. As long as one can settle into quiet contemplation and reflect upon everything—recalling past inadequacies, deficiencies, and the need for correction—how should one then cultivate and transform? By discerning past mistakes, it becomes easier at this moment to retreat into the *Amalavijñāna* (immaculate consciousness), rather than remaining within the realm of *Vijñāna* (ordinary discriminating consciousness).
The nature of Buddha and demon are deeply interconnected.
Do not continue to practice with the approach of "delusion and attachment to appearances." If one has already entered the stage of recognizing all phenomena as they arise, especially within the initial stage of the Buddha realm, it is possible to transform one's existential orientation by engaging with the ten aspects of demonic nature as encountered in worldly practice. Moreover, one can even regress through the tenth demonic nature, "the consciousness that illuminates illusion as empty."
Upon entering the first stage of the Buddha realm, one can still genuinely retreat from oneself and re-enter the Buddha-nature. This allows one to discern the nature of such essence, preventing a descent into demonic tendencies, and enables a return to the human world to practice the path toward the first stage of the Buddha realm, rather than merely existing within the human world.
When this demonic nature solidifies to the point of being irreversible, it enters the eleventh demonic state known as the "Realm of Utter Ignorance." Most beings can no longer retreat into the "Amala Consciousness." From this, one may observe: why do sentient beings in the human realm manifest incorrect conduct toward all worldly affairs? Precisely because it arises from the sixth consciousness!
It has gradually entered into the negative conduct of human beings! Therefore, for every matter, in the essence perceived by sentient beings, it can be said that what everyone sees is completely the same. However, when individual thoughts and concepts fail to progress, even though the circumstances are identical, what is observed will absolutely not be the same.
In this realm of common existence, there is no ignorance, and one can no longer regress.
This also gives rise to the sixth consciousness, which distinguishes varying thoughts and concepts. In this way, when entering the seventh consciousness, the manas, it merely judges an incorrect concept. If one further proceeds into the eighth consciousness, the ālaya-vijñāna, then a demonic nature that has been concealed throughout the ages will suddenly manifest itself.
This kind of understanding of the eighth consciousness, the Alaya consciousness, will bring to light all the suppressed demonic nature accumulated over countless past lives. Yet, when observed from the outside, it appears to be exactly the same person! Ordinary humans find it extremely difficult to distinguish clearly, and thus, there is no differentiation made, bypassing any judgment on the eighth consciousness, the Alaya consciousness.
Upon entering the ninth stage of demonic nature, "the delusion of playing with consciousness," if recognized early, there remains hope for redemption. However, once one falls into the tenth stage of demonic nature, "the consciousness that illuminates illusion as empty," discernment becomes impossible. Only through the guidance of virtuous mentors and the teachings of immortals and buddhas can one learn to retreat from "the consciousness that illuminates illusion as empty."
The demonic nature is rooted in human actions and conduct.
If one still fails to comprehend at this moment, having already entered the stage of "Illuminating Illusory Nature and Empty Consciousness" and proceeding further into the eleventh demonic state of "Boundless Realm of Utter Nothingness Consciousness," then it becomes impossible to discern: that for the human world, there is already no remedy, and even the greatest of celestial beings and Buddhas are powerless to assist, as the eleventh demonic nature manifests itself!
In this process of the demonic nature's eleven "realms of pervasive ignorance," how does one discern its relation to oneself? This can no longer be altered, and thus it will inevitably enter into the "manifestation of inner demons" among sentient beings. This is because all human actions and practices in the world are already beyond change, so no matter how one calls out, it will be of no avail!
Because human beings are such that they can be empowered by the Buddha-nature or by the demonic nature; the only difference lies in one being recognized by the heavens and earth, the cosmic galaxies, and the other not being recognized by them. This distinction is made in the human world regarding me, in all the practices and conduct within the human realm.
The various types of natures are bound to interconnect with one another.
When demonic nature manifests, human beings, upon entering such a state, fundamentally lose all capacity for thought. Instead, they continuously descend into this flawed and malevolent differentiation of essence. This is the nature of humanity, thus forming nothing more than wandering spirits eternally cycling through heaven and earth, the universe—trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation.
Fundamentally, one cannot evolve to the ranks of sages, immortals, or buddhas. At this stage, one is merely a wandering soul of oneself, gradually acquiring some supernatural abilities and skills. However, it remains impossible to evolve alongside heaven and earth or the cosmic galaxies, attaining more authentic ranks and spiritual fruits. Such is the view of the human world—what can one do about it?
Such human beings will continue to sink deeper, finding it difficult to rectify all their shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors. This cycle repeats itself again and again, leading to the manifestation of demonic nature. Even if they aspire to ascend to higher realms, under such conditions and circumstances, it is certainly not conducive to genuine upward growth! Can one comprehend the profound mystery within this?
At the Bridge of Wan, the demon's foundation is discerned,  
Yet the multitudes of humankind remain unclear.
Entering therein, it is hard to discern;  
One’s own demonic nature has already arisen.
Illusion's nature is void, the tenth stage,  
Sentient beings come to practice it.
A fault of my own making,  
Hard to take responsibility for, and harder to change.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: the eleven demonic natures—arising from the ignorance of ordinary circumstances—manifest as thoughts. For me, how should one advance or retreat, so as to no longer allow demonic natures to continuously enter? Otherwise, they become manifestations of inner demons, forming all future emergences of inner demons, turning into demonic offspring that obey commands and act accordingly.
This is yet another intention that cannot be reconciled by heaven and earth or the cosmic galaxy. It is essential to understand all the intricacies and origins involved in order to develop one's own immunity. I appreciate everyone's hard work and companionship in this endeavor, and I apologize for the disturbance caused to the Chongxin lineage for some time. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Three Pure Qi Energies, The Root Vessel of the Cosmos
## The Great Cosmos, the Star Lord of the Southern Dipper
October 30, 2015, the eighteenth day of the ninth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Scripture of Principle ascends,  
gathering together all the revered deities and people of the heart.
The Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, descends;  
The eleven realms of demonic nature are utterly eradicated.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, has descended to compose the eighth chapter of "The Universe of the Great Dao." Through the eleventh demonic nature, "Ignorance in the Mundane Realm," we can understand the distinctions within demonic nature, which begins to unfold following the ninth, "Playing with Consciousness at the Wandering Bridge."
Re-entering the tenth "Consciousness of Illuminating Illusion and Emptiness," which connects to the eleventh "Consciousness of the Vast Realm of Non-Existence," one can understand that all practices in the human world, if transformed through the tenth "Consciousness of Illuminating Illusion and Emptiness," can still be discerned: thus enabling a retreat, which in turn becomes an elevation that allows for further upward growth.
As recognized by heaven and earth and the cosmic galaxies, once one enters the eleventh realm of demonic growth, "the common realm of profound ignorance," there is no turning back—what can be done? For all virtuous conditions and favorable karma of humanity to flourish, they must be cultivated and mastered through one's own practice and control—this is the true path.
Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us all come together to learn and grow! With diligent effort, we will come to understand all the shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors in the human world, and we will also experience upward growth and elevation. It is essential to clearly comprehend the distinction between "the mutual transformation of Buddha and Mara" in order to achieve a wholesome and smooth transcendence. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 25: The Cosmic Celestial Realm, The Sun as the Central Axis
##The Bodhisattva of Western Heaven's Path Manifestation
November 3, 2015, the twenty-second day of the ninth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Across the vast cosmos, myriad star systems align,  
The Star Lord of the Eastern Dipper descends in divine design.
The Ninth Chapter of the Great Dao Universe:  
The Crown Soars, Filling the Heart as the Guiding Principle
All sentient beings will then distinguish between Buddha and Mara.
The evolution of demonic nature can no longer be restrained from manifesting in various forms of arising attention. Humanity may come to believe that the spiritual world is simply like this, and even as human beings evolve mutually within the "spiritual world," they will also evolve the conditions and causes arising from demonic nature. This evolution gives rise to the twelfth cause of demonic seeds: "the crown leaping to permeate consciousness."
This reveals a different perspective on the "crown-leaping, all-pervading consciousness," which is also sustained through the human world. As for the causes of demonic nature, why do they evolve into twelve levels of function? One can thus understand: the evolution and elevation of human beings will inevitably increase the twelve hierarchical levels of demonic nature. In this case, there is no genuine reliance or function from the heavens.
Therefore, neither the human world nor the intangible realm possesses the same causal conditions as the Chongxin Sect lineage. Through analysis in the present era, it is understood that after the ninth stage of "Wanqiao Nongshi," the seeds of demonic nature have been sustained across twenty different levels of causation, thereby manifesting this demonic nature.
In elucidating the lineage of the Heart Sect, this represents a remarkably advanced analysis, capable of distinguishing between the human realm and the intangible realm: the various levels of causes underlying demonic nature are precisely the grace bestowed by Heaven upon sentient beings of the present era, as well as all beings in the intangible realm, while also providing a true discernment of the twelve "crown-leaping, pervasive consciousness" aspects of demonic nature.
How to Distinguish the Nature and Essence of Human Beings
This pertains to the twelfth level of demonic nature, "Crown Leaping Pervades the Mind-Consciousness," and similarly to the twelfth level of Buddha-nature, "The Buddha Realm Investigates the Earth." Speaking truthfully regarding sentient beings of the past, from ancient times to the present era: there exists a genuine mutual counteracting effect, which also distinguishes the seeds of past demonic nature, beginning from the ninth consciousness.
After the stage of "Playful Bridge of Perception," evolution proceeds through the tenth "Consciousness Illuminating Illusory Nature as Empty" and the eleventh "Consciousness of the Boundless Mundane Realm." As for the twelfth level of demonic nature, it evolves through the "Crown-Surpassing All-Pervading Consciousness." Moreover, all that I have done and accomplished is precisely this "Crown-Surpassing All-Pervading Consciousness," and thus it can no longer regress to the purifying functions of the first nine consciousnesses.
Therefore, even for human beings, it is difficult to comprehend why, since ancient times, the conditions for such demonic causes have rarely been activated in the human world. This is also a great grace bestowed by Heaven upon both humanity and the invisible realm, as it benefits all who can discern and receive its blessings.
It also elucidates the demonic nature of the past, explaining why ancient teachings said: when the Buddha is one foot tall, the demon is ten feet tall; when the Buddha is ten feet tall, the demon is above the head. This distinction serves to illustrate what is meant by "the consciousness of the crown surpassing and pervading," allowing sentient beings to discern: what is meant by "the consciousness of the crown surpassing and pervading," and how are its volitional formations manifested?
A tiny discrepancy can lead to a vast error.
This is about surpassing growth by claiming the top position, yet failing to realize that one's own mindset has long been lost. Therefore, as stated in "Crown Leap Fills the Mind-Consciousness," evolution proceeds through human beings and the intangible realm. This evolution is precisely a form of elevation; otherwise, one would remain merely within the ordinary understanding of the common people.
Thus, one will enter the realm of the demon's descendants, awakening to the realization of the seeds of demonic nature. In the human world, the "crown leaping to permeate the consciousness" evolves into a contemplation of oneself: How, in this life and this world, can one truly ascend and elevate? To put it plainly, it is all about implanting the "demonic nature" into one's mindset!
This cause and condition is entirely identical in the perception of the first five consciousnesses, but upon entering the sixth consciousness, it begins to differ, initiating transformations in all things. Furthermore, the latent seeds of demonic nature accumulated since ancient times manifest in the present moment. Thus, even when attempting to enter the seventh manas consciousness, it becomes impossible to suppress this ancient "demonic nature."
If it is fundamentally impossible to evolve truthfully, then it is also quite unlikely to further enhance the overall function of the eighth consciousness, the Ālaya-vijñāna. Therefore, it is inevitable to enter the ninth consciousness: the Wǎnqiáo Nòngshí. This is a matter of necessity, not something one can change simply by desiring to do so. One will thus enter this "Illuminating Illusory Emptiness Consciousness" to manifest.
Human intentionality is greatly related to the differentiation of sexual orientation.
For me, how can one truly achieve elevation and transcendence? This is precisely the difficulty that cannot be retreated from! Hence, in the demonic evolution, at the eleventh stage of "Common Realm Without Awareness," any genuine change at this point is fundamentally impossible! And what about the twelfth stage of demonic nature, "Crown Soaring Pervades the Heart-Mind Awareness"?
In contrast, the enhancement from the "Buddha Realm Meditation Ground" brings forth formidable supernatural powers. At this stage, ordinary actions can no longer alter the course, leading to the formation of the "Crown Surpassing Mind Consciousness." This becomes an irreversible state for human beings, compelling them to further deepen their own supernatural and spiritual abilities.
At this moment, all actions and movements are equivalent to the functions and effects of "entering the realm of Buddha," and the mystical powers are also profoundly profound. Thus, one can understand how thoughts and intentions arise in sentient beings. Consequently, one will be endowed with the divine powers of the heavenly eye, the heavenly ear, the ability to read others' minds, the ability to travel anywhere at will, and the knowledge of past lives.
Only the state of "supernatural power of exhaustion of outflows" has not yet been perfected. Under such conditions of causes and circumstances, there is fundamentally no possibility for change. In this kind of time and space, supernatural powers are quite active, thereby forming the manifest function of planting demonic seeds. Moreover, humans will connect with each other through demonic minds, and within this kind of supernatural power, there will be great potency.
The manifestation of Buddha and demons reveals what humanity cannot perceive.
It was precisely after the evolution of the tenth "Illumination of Illusory Nature and Emptiness Consciousness" that gradually, a greater energy of supernatural power emerged. This energy was then dispersed, and within the orientations of the later "demonic descendants," it slowly formed what was originally a rather favorable countenance. From this point onward, it began to transform anew.
Gradually, the originally benevolent countenance began to transform, shifting into a greatly ferocious appearance to highlight the changes. This was because all the transformations within oneself had become vastly different. Hence, the reason why one's appearance reflects the heart is formed in this way. Human beings are unable to comprehend why such a fierce and evil countenance arises.
It is precisely by transforming the formless realm and the human world into a more adverse appearance that human beings, originally of benevolent nature, come to discern the nature of all actions and behaviors! This is all achieved through what is called the "Crown-Leaping Pervading Consciousness"; thus, it is also driven by the good and evil actions of human beings.
It is merely a transformation based on a certain appearance. In this case, it manifests the thirty-six auspicious features and forty-eight dignified postures that distinguish the seed cause of Buddha-nature. All are fundamentally the same; in their manifestation of demonic nature, it is merely a function of action. Buddha-nature is like this, and demonic nature is also like this—the only difference lies in the transformation brought about by mindset and perception.
To truly understand the art of the flute, one must grasp the illusory nature and inherent emptiness of its essence.
The common realm should not be left to grow unchecked,  
Yet to leap beyond and fill the heart is also unwise.
The seed of demonic nature can be distinguished,  
While human beings are urged to ascend upward.
One bears witness to the attainment of fruition,  
Another struggles to fathom the weight of karmic obstructions.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement. It aims to analyze the twelve aspects of demonic nature by distinguishing the consciousness that crowns and permeates the mind. From the perspectives of the celestial realms in the vast universe—east, west, south, north, and center—the Chongxin lineage expounds on the causes of demonic nature. It must not be said that demonic nature is simply bad or opposed to goodness, for such a view already deviates from the Middle Way.
Within the vast universe and among the stars of the heavens and earth, if one distinguishes and judges all human beings, believing that only one's own path is correct while all others are misguided, such a mindset has long since planted the seeds of demonic nature—what can be done then! Thank you all for accompanying this work. Today, I have disturbed the Chongxin lineage for a while. Farewell, everyone!
Chapter 26: The Nether Star System, Moon and Stars Guard the Foundation
##The Vast Cosmos, The Great Emperor of the Northern Dipper
November 6, 2015, the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month in the yimao year (Friday)
The scriptures from the Western Heaven ascend the platform,  
As Bodhisattvas gather with sentient beings in fellowship.
May all be auspicious and well,  
In the seventh month of Yiwei, the ghost gates open.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Eastern Dipper Star Lord of the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the ninth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos," analyzing the twelfth demonic nature: the arrogance that permeates the mind, to help everyone understand. What exactly is this twelfth demonic nature? Why does it manifest as a demonic nature?
It is believed that in the human world, this is the first time we have encountered such a parting, and how profound is the cause of this demonic nature! How profound, too, is the opposing role played by the cause of Buddha-nature! In this divinely ordained opportunity, only the analysis of the Chongxin lineage can enable sentient beings in the world of affection to fully comprehend all aspects of the cause of demonic nature.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope that tomorrow night we will once again have the Chan master's lecture—let's all come together to unearth treasures! The content is becoming increasingly profound and wonderful. Such sublime and marvelous truths are rarely encountered even among all religious beliefs in this modern era—we must cherish them dearly! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones, The Myriad Stars in Motion
## The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Literary Theme
November 10, 2015, the twenty-ninth day of the ninth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
The expanse of the cosmos is truly vast,  
As the Great Dipper of the West descends to reach us.
The Star Lord authored the Thirteen Demonic Arts;  
Observing their depletion inevitably leads to error.
The distinction between Buddha and Mara exists within all sentient beings.
When sentient beings enter the human world, many rely on the duality of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" as their foundation. Distinguishing between these inherent natures is an opportunity seldom understood by ordinary people. What, then, are this "Buddha-nature and demon-nature"? It is precisely this duality that gives rise to the deluded influences within the religious beliefs of humanity.
It is not necessarily the case that everyone can comprehend the mysteries within. To put it plainly, the majority of human beings rely merely on the conditions that sustain their livelihood, with very few truly understanding how these mysteries operate. Thus, it is said that most religious believers in the world rely on the two paths of "Buddhism and Daoism" for support.
It also allows for a deeper immersion into the insights presented, while regarding the religions of "Confucianism, Christianity, and Islam," there is no detailed distinction made between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." This leads to a reliance on both "Buddha-nature and demon-nature," and raises the question of how these two interdependent forces manifest among human beings.
However, from the perspective of human beings: within this "Karmic Origin of Buddha and Demon," it is not something that ordinary religious believers can easily grasp the intricacies of. To put it less delicately, the general populace often relies on worship and faith, remaining entirely ignorant of such pivotal conditions.
All sentient beings possess the dual nature of both Buddha and Mara.
Very few are able to delve into the depths and intricacies, which prevents the multitude of human beings from achieving elevation and transcendence within a single lifetime. Regarding the "thirteen levels of demonic nature," this is something that human beings can comprehend in contrast to the "thirteen levels of Buddha-nature." The distinction between these two arises precisely because of the evolution of the thirteen levels of demonic nature.
One will then enter the state of "Consciousness Exhausted by Observation Alone" to rely upon and sustain. Due to the differences in the causes of Buddha-nature, one has already entered this state at this point. Within it lies the "Subtle and Minute Fourth Consciousness" of the thirteenth level of the Buddha-realm, which means entering the Buddha-realm to distinguish between two aspects: one being "demonic nature" and the other "Buddha-nature."
It is precisely when comparisons are made within the human world that the cause and condition of the demonic realm being far superior to the Buddha realm is perceived. However, even though the Buddha realm possesses great spiritual power and efficacy, it cannot directly surpass the supernatural power of the demonic realm. Thus, human beings often judge by the saying: "When virtue rises one foot, vice rises ten; when virtue rises ten feet, vice stands atop the head."
Alternatively, consider the distinction: when the Buddha is one foot tall, the demon is ten feet tall; when the Buddha is ten feet tall, the demon looms overhead. This kind of differentiation within the demonic realm, as described in the thirteen "Only Observing the Exhaustion of Consciousness," has never been heard of by human beings, and even the celestial systems of the Middle Heaven find it difficult to comprehend. As for how the seeds of demonic nature are planted, this profound cause and condition is revealed through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect, conveying the heavenly secrets.
The Demonic Nature of the Thirteen: Only Through Contemplation Are Consciousness and Exhaustion Fully Consumed
How is the distinction made regarding demonic realms? This celestial secret and auspicious affinity can only be initiated by the Chongxin lineage, which discerns the different natures of the "causes of demonic seeds." If observed from the perspective of human beings: when all orientations of existence have entered the thirteenth demonic state—"the consciousness of exhaustive observation and depletion"—it will inevitably give rise to a "mid-heaven demon"!
Furthermore, among these types of celestial demons, although they may not be subjected to the same level of celestial examination and verification of spiritual attainment, they are capable of roaming throughout the entire universe and its extraterrestrial star systems. It can be said that once human beings enter the twelfth level of demonic nature, known as "Crown-Leaping and Pervading Consciousness," there is no turning back. In the face of such karmic entities, how can one possibly effect change?
There is only one possibility: under the conditions of "the sea turning into mulberry fields," if one is willing to change and become an upright and virtuous individual on the path of self-improvement. Otherwise, one will forever remain in the demonic realms of the heavens, where human beings often stir up the inner demons within themselves, connecting and reinforcing one another.
If it is initiated by the inner demon of the mind, in most cases: once a single thought arises, all three thousand dharma realms will become aware, forming a phenomenon where, after one's own demon of the mind is activated, the external realm manifests the reality as perceived by oneself. This will then bring forth the "demonic nature" stored in the "Vairocana Ocean of Nature" from the past, causing it to manifest.
Only the Contemplation of Exhausting the Wastage of Consciousness is the Thirteenth Demonic Nature
Regarding the manifestation of demonic nature accumulated over past lifetimes, such a temporal state cannot dissolve this demonic nature. Instead, it continuously enters the inner realm, where external conditions provoke celestial demons to descend into the heart, thereby evolving the karmic connections of the past. Thus, in response to the emergence of the thirteen demonic natures, there arises the distinction of "solely observing the exhaustion of consciousness."
This "observation-only" approach may suffice for discernment, but how does it apply to "complete exhaustion"? Once exhaustion has already occurred, when practicing "observation-only of exhausted consciousness," the distinction regarding the root causes of demonic nature becomes exceedingly difficult to manifest. Ordinary human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend this—why then does it manifest in the human realm and the vast cosmic heavens?
This phenomenon of "inner demons and celestial demons" simultaneously affecting an individual with psychic constitution—and further, when such an individual enters into the state of "exclusive observation of exhausted consciousness"—will trigger the distinctions of past karmic causes and effects accumulated over lifetimes. Yet, ordinary human beings fundamentally cannot discern why the "exclusive observation of exhausted consciousness" creates such distinctions.
It is distinguished by the different realms of the Four Buddha Lands: one is the path of righteousness, while the other is the path of deviation. This distinction arises from the "differentiation of demonic nature," wherein all the survival habits of ordinary beings are governed by the thirteenth demonic nature, known as "the consciousness of exhaustive depletion," which manifests and governs all demonic phenomena in the human world.
How to Regress into the Manifestation of Demonic Nature
At this moment, the causes of the demonic entity's "levels nine to twelve" manifest and interact with various demonic karmic entities, further causing sentient beings to remain perpetually trapped within such realms. Regarding the thirteenth demonic nature: the exclusive perception of exhaustive depletion (utter exhaustion) of consciousness, within the overall karmic fabric of the Dim Star's spatial realm, all are governed by the thirteenth demonic state.
And thus, all distinctions manifesting demonic nature arise; such differentiation, layer by layer, stems from what was previously mentioned: the various "demonic entities" that emerge. As for how I should respond to this, it is generally believed that in the manifestation of demonic nature, if no external demons intervene, there is relatively little room for error.
If "inner demons are combined with external demons," these two will manifest everything that was previously lacking according to your wishes. This is what is called "the emergence of inner demons," which has just appeared and has not yet entered the tenth stage: Illusory Nature and Empty Consciousness, the eleventh stage: Mundane Phenomena and Unchanging Consciousness, or the twelfth stage: Crowned Leap and Pervading Mind Consciousness for differentiation.
Human beings can distinguish the differences arising from "the division of demonic nature," and when they obtain conditions that were previously insufficient due to past temporal and causal constraints, demonic manifestations may arise, with significant variations. Yet, in the human realm, people often remain fundamentally unaware: Am I cultivating the growth of Buddha-nature, or am I fostering the growth of demonic nature? Can everyone understand this distinction?
The demonic nature, through mere observation, exhausts and depletes consciousness, rendering it incapable of regression.
In contrast, such a convergence of time and space: it can fulfill conditions and causes that could not be attained in any past time and space. Conversely, it will inevitably fall into demonic nature and absolutely will not enter into the manifestation of Buddha-nature. Moreover, these two can be distinguished by the conditions and causes that were not fulfilled in all past lifetimes.
Perhaps it is possible to fully possess the karmic conditions that were previously unattainable. This even greater disparity in conditions distinguishes whether one relies on the Buddha-nature or manifests the demon-nature. Such differentiation allows one to discern: which nature and karmic conditions are being entered into at this very moment? It also serves as the basis for distinguishing the true assessment of spiritual attainment bestowed by Heaven!
If one is unable to fulfill the criteria set by Heaven for assessment, yet instead gains many conditions from past karmic connections, then at this moment, one has already entered the realm of demonic influence. Can one retreat from it? It must be discerned by observing one’s present actions and conduct, which for me is yet another distinction between "righteousness and evil"!
The thirteen demonic natures come to dissect,
Yet sentient beings find it hard to attain their desires.
Discern clearly between Buddha and Mara;  
Attain enlightenment and ascend without divergence.
Demonic nature and Buddha nature are two aspects that must align;  
Humanity must be able to clearly discern them.
It must not be glossed over vaguely; it is extremely difficult to alter the upward trajectory.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, fellow human beings; by dissecting the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature and the thirteen levels of demonic nature, how should I evolve and elevate myself? Even within the evolution of demonic nature, there is elevation—only the outcomes differ: one attains realization, while the other gains mere insight. Thank you all for your efforts, and apologies for troubling the Chongxin lineage for a time. Until we meet again, everyone!
Chapter 28: The Qi of the Dao, Essential to All Living Beings
##The Vast Cosmos  Lord Emperor of the Central Realm
November 13, 2015, the second day of the tenth lunar month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Star Lord of the Western Dipper descends in auspicious form,  
Analyzing the thirteen mechanisms of demonic nature.
The Bodhisattva of Western Heaven, Daoyan, ascends to join the assembly of all sentient beings and virtuous companions.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, it is the Star Lord of the Western Dipper from the Great Cosmos who descends to compose the tenth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos." This auspicious karmic connection, known as the thirteenth demonic nature, "The Exhaustion of Consciousness Through Mere Observation," will be analyzed to reveal its different opportunities for humanity, allowing for clear understanding!
Once one ceases to plant causes for all "demonic entities" and enters the thirteenth level, it becomes an unalterable limitation. Often, one will continue to delve deeper into it, finding it exceedingly difficult to retreat or leave. This can be described as the process of "inner demons arising" in response to "external demons invading," followed by "celestial demons joining in."
In this mortal world, it is indeed quite difficult to comprehend why the "Fourth Realm of Buddha" among the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature differs from the "Consciousness of Utmost Exhaustion in Pure Observation" among the thirteen levels of demon-nature, and how such discrepancies arise. Very well! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can join us to learn and grow together! Let us strive diligently. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Chapter 29: The Di Ming Star System and the Three Pure Qi Forms
## Limitless Joy and Bliss Celestial Worthy
November 17, 2015, the sixth day of the tenth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
The Great Cosmos, the True Celestial Realm, the Lord of the Southern Dipper descends to be present.
The Eleventh Chapter of the Great Dao Universe: The Assembly for the Cultivation of Wisdom and the Awakening of Consciousness
The Classification of Various Natures of Demonic Influences
When sentient beings enter the human realm, a distinction arises between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." From this, it becomes clear: the causes for Buddha-nature are initiated by the sixth consciousness, then progress to the seventh manas-consciousness, the eighth ālaya-consciousness, and the ninth amala-consciousness. Thereafter, they align with all distinctions inherent in Buddha-nature.
There are many distinctions to be made. Can this kind of cause and condition be understood? What is the dividing point between "the seed cause of demonic nature and the level of Buddha nature"? In this spacetime and cause-and-condition, the following are also manifested: the first ground of the tenth Buddha realm, the second ground of the eleventh Buddha realm, the third ground of the twelfth Buddha realm, and the fourth ground of the thirteenth Buddha realm. Yet, for sentient beings who have entered into demonic nature, how can they be transformed?
This causal entity, in relation to the fourteen levels of demonic nature, employs "sharp intellect and agitated consciousness" for evolution. This allows for an understanding: why does the causal entity of sharp intellect and agitated (or diminished) consciousness exist? Specifically targeting human beings, it raises the question: within the human world, why does "sharp intellect and agitated (or diminished) consciousness" arise as a seed cause?
Moreover, within the fourteen demonic natures, "keen intelligence" is exceedingly rare, and this forms a distinct category of consciousness, which is a considerable burden. If we examine it from this perspective: the causal entity of keen intelligence (or scarce intelligence) does not truly advance upward. However, it can be discerned through the ninth consciousness: the consciousness of playful illusion. How, then, does this unfold?
How to Discern the Causes of Demonic Nature
Then, from the tenth: Illusory Nature Emptiness Consciousness, the eleventh: Mundane Realm Vast Non-Consciousness, the twelfth: Crowned Leaping Pervading Mind Consciousness, and the thirteenth: Sole Contemplation Exhaustion Consciousness, one enters the fourteenth: Practice of the Sharp Wisdom Stirring Consciousness. Here, sentient beings are not distinguished by human forms or formless causes; this is because "the wisdom of benefit is exceedingly rare"!
Thus it becomes a phenomenon: after the emergence of the *li-sao* (diminished) consciousness, if it cannot develop into a wholesome state, this diminished consciousness will manifest as the demonic nature in all human conduct. It inevitably leads to the attitude: "This is just how my life is!" This targets the fourteenth consciousness of demonic seeds, which operates through what is termed the "profit-driven, cunning consciousness."
Why does the cause of the Fourteenth Consciousness of Diminished Wisdom arise? It is necessary to understand that the conduct in both the human world and the invisible world has already entered the realm of demonic nature. Upon entering the fundamental cause of the Fourteenth Consciousness of Diminished Wisdom, this state gives rise to different intentions toward the human world and also traps oneself in a condition from which there is no retreat.
Therefore, the growth of "Buddhism and Taoism" has been consistently confined to a realm where such wisdom becomes increasingly rare—a state in which even in the human world, the false is mistaken for the true. Consequently, this issue leads sentient beings to discern the fourteen causes of demonic nature and to question: why have I manifested and entered into such a realm?
The Source of the Fourteen Profound and Wise Discernments of Demonic Nature
In the human world, one can observe all realms of demonic nature and ask: are they wrong? No, they are not! This judgment of wrongness is made from the perspective of human beings. If viewed from the standpoint of the causes of demonic nature, there is no distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, or correctness and error. From this perspective, sentient beings are either righteous or wicked.
Such is the cause and effect. When observing the unrighteous path through the lens of righteousness, human beings often hold preconceived notions. If viewed from the perspective of others: what you consider to be the righteous path, others may deem as heretical or demonic. In such a world, fairness, equality, and objective demonstration become unattainable. It can be said that humanity is indeed like this!
Sentient human beings are even more detestable than these evil demons and heretics, for as the ancients said: human beings are all "black-hearted and sinister within." They are no better toward their own kind, and what's more, while it is said that the seeds of demonic nature are bad, one fails to realize: humans are truly far more terrifying!
For humanity, half is yang and half is yin, which leads to one side being good and the other side being evil. If demonic nature is frequently manifested, and human beings have long been brainwashed, they will come to believe that they are the ones on the righteous path in this world. In truth, it is utterly inconceivable!
The Fourteen Primary Benefits of Demonic Nature: Wisdom and Disturbing Consciousness
A human being may commit acts of slaughter that others dare not, but to be a good person—or even to be a reasonably decent one—is often quite difficult. This is why, when humans become beings of this world, they speak of "insufficient, lacking, or erroneous causes of demonic nature," yet fail to reflect on why humanity remains deeply trapped within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star.
Consider carefully why this planet is called the Star of Earthly Darkness. Precisely because it is half light and half dark! From this cause and condition, one can discern: humans are such creatures, yet they still claim: the seed of demonic nature is undesirable! It is merely a matter of different perspectives; fundamentally, there is no issue of right or wrong, good or evil, truth or falsehood, or righteousness and wickedness!
To put it nicely, any nature that benefits humanity and all beings is good; conversely, any nature that fails to benefit them is bad. But is such a criterion truly righteous? Humanity and all beings are simply too naive! They are often brainwashed by religious scriptures, leaving them utterly defenseless and without any immunity to protect themselves.
Driving oneself through successive lifetimes, repeatedly cycling within the human realm; and as for the fourteenth demonic nature: the seed cause of profit-driven intellect and restless consciousness, human beings remain unable to comprehend: what exactly is this profit-driven intellect and restless consciousness? Therefore, they assume that humanity represents the righteous path of existence—a cosmic joke of which human beings remain utterly self-convinced!
Humanity distinguishes between the nature of Buddha and Mara, differentiating their inherent causes.
Moreover, some still believe that merely reciting some scriptures and mantras, and eating some vegetarian meals, can eliminate all the cycles of reincarnation in the human world. How utterly laughable! With an "impure state of mind," how can one possibly advance further? And what's more, such a grand delusion persists: the hope that once I enter the Buddhist realm, I will immediately attain Buddhahood!
Even when divine powers and spiritual cultivation fall short, and there is no genuine realization of the necessity for such upward growth, human beings often remain generous only toward themselves. Yet, what about the true meaning behind the workings of heaven and earth? They merely recite a few scriptures and mantras, and nothing more!
After a few more years of vegetarian practice and performing some good deeds, these actions are fundamentally just a way to "elevate oneself and glorify the mind." Consider this: if there were such saints, immortals, or buddhas in the celestial realm acting in this manner, what would happen? It is believed that the celestial realm would have long descended into chaos, and it would even become impossible to distinguish sentient beings. The most crucial point is to "purify the seeds of the eight consciousnesses"!
The differences in the causes of demonic nature are extremely vast.
One must also possess enduring perseverance to achieve genuine improvement and transcendence! Consider this: a human life is brief, often less than a hundred years, with most spanning only seventy or eighty years. Subtracting the time spent in childhood and education, which accounts for about ten to twenty years, how can one truly grow and mature in the remaining years?
When considering all survival-oriented activities, a large portion of time is already eliminated. Further subtracting the time spent on eating, drinking, sleeping, and other miscellaneous necessities accounts for another significant portion. Adding in the time dedicated to work for basic sustenance removes yet another major segment. What truly remains is only about fifteen to twenty-five years of one's life. If we further account for the time and space occupied by each individual's "emotional reactions," even less remains.
Sometimes joyful, sometimes not! Sometimes, in the midst of ordinary life, one can truly delve into the realms explored by religious scriptures. Yet, with only about ten years left, and after deducting the time for truly dedicated practice, there remains less than seven or eight years of time and space. Under such conditions and circumstances, hoping to ascend to the heavens in a single step? That seems quite difficult indeed!
Human beings are often swayed by the scriptures.
Consider this: Is it indeed the case? Therefore, in this world, there are no such distinctions as right or wrong, true or false, good or evil. From the moment of birth, humanity has been misled by religious scriptures and subjected to indoctrination, leading to the tendency to label others as "heretical and evil." But if viewed from the perspective of such so-called heresy, how would humanity itself appear?
Conversely, why would one consider oneself to be truly heretical? Among humanity, there are those who are kind, ordinary, unkind, and even those who are despicable and cruel. From one's own perspective, what is seen as heresy is merely this. Therefore, people may go against such views, believing that their own path is the righteous way to practice!
To put it bluntly, such individuals among humanity are merely cloaked in a "human skin over a beastly form." How should we regard such people? They are even more brazen than those who openly display demonic traits, claiming: "I am a righteous human being!" Moreover, they act with utter shamelessness, without a hint of remorse. This is something worth pondering deeply.
The Fourteenth Demonic Nature: Sowing Causes  
Following the Path of Sharp Intellect and Restless Consciousness
Why is it so hard to understand oneself?  
Precisely because of this flawed nature.
Across the vast celestial realms of all universes,  
among the multitude of human beings, there exists a self.
How can one ascend to grow,
Distinguishing Buddha and Mara to achieve.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings to encourage one another. By analyzing the fourteenth level of demonic nature with sharp wisdom and minimal attachment, there will be greater growth and elevation upward. Do not use your own perspective or viewpoint to observe how all causes of demonic nature are sown. Thank you all for accompanying this work and for disturbing the Chongxin lineage for a while. Farewell, everyone!
Episode 30: The Celestial Realm of Earth and Darkness, Where All Beings Breathe
##The Vast Cosmos, Emperor Donghua
November 20, 2015, the ninth day of the tenth month in the yǐwèi year (Friday)
The Bodhisattva of the Western Heaven's Path arrives in person,  
Embracing the causes of all virtuous sages within the Reverent Heart.
There is a great celestial secret  
Entrusted to you to practice on your own.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Southern Dipper Six Directors’ Star Lord of Prolonging Life from the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the eleventh installment of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos," titled "Fourteen Demonic Natures: The Disturbance of Excessive Cleverness and Deficient Wisdom." This installment offers a remarkably balanced perspective, analyzing the implementation of such cleverness with insufficient wisdom.
Those who currently believe they are the only ones on the right path among humanity and sentient beings often find their "conscience and ideological beliefs" long devoured in the human world, becoming merely animals "cloaked in human skin." By earnestly contemplating the perspectives presented from different angles, one can achieve greater growth and elevation, thereby benefiting oneself.
Tomorrow is the monthly repentance ceremony, and the day after is the annual universal offering ceremony. Combining these two events is the proper way to promote and propagate the Dharma through such means! Regardless of whether the "Swan Typhoon" affects our ceremonies tomorrow and the day after, let us unite with one heart and one strength to complete them well. It is precisely through this that we can accomplish what seems an impossible task!
This is precisely the basis upon which the Heavenly Will assesses! It also allows everyone to understand that with diligent effort, the Chongxin lineage will achieve great success. There will also be a virtuous "Vanguard of the Great Dao" to promote its teachings, and favorable karmic conditions will arise for virtuous individuals to join the ranks of propagation. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
Episode 31: The Methane of the Underworld Gradually Clears Away
## Limitless Wealth-Increasing Heavenly Venerable
November 27, 2015, the sixteenth day of the tenth month in the year of Yīwèi (Friday)
Across the vast cosmos of countless star systems,  
The Lord of the Northern Dipper descends in auspicious presence.
The difference in the manifestation of demonic nature arises from the deviation from the inherent nature of one's actions.
The classification of the causes of demonic nature comprises twelve levels.
When sentient beings enter the human realm, they will manifest the causal conditions of the "mutual interplay between Buddha and Mara." Consequently, the "seeds of mara-nature" will take form, which are further divided into one to twenty levels. Within these levels, they become interconnected with the causal seeds of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, manas-consciousness, and alaya-consciousness.
Further, regarding the distinction between the ninth consciousness of Buddha-nature: the *Amalavijñāna* (immaculate consciousness), and the ninth consciousness of demonic nature: the *Wanqiao Nongshi* (playful consciousness of illusion), this can be understood as follows: demonic nature arises precisely through the manifestation of the ninth consciousness: the *Wanqiao Nongshi*, distinguishing all that enters into the tenth consciousness: *Zhaohuan Xingkongshi* (consciousness illuminating the emptiness of illusion), the eleventh consciousness: *Shujing Piwushi* (consciousness of the boundless realm of phenomena), and the twelfth consciousness: *Guanyue Mixinshi* (consciousness pervading the mind with radiance).
Thirteenth: Only by observing the exhaustion and dissipation of consciousness; Fourteenth: Through the various practices of sharp wisdom and agitated consciousness, one can also discern the seeds of demonic nature. Regarding the function of the Fifteenth Consciousness, it is possible to enter the differentiation of "demonic seeds" from the human world. Most sentient beings in humanity fundamentally do not understand why, within the human realm, different Buddha-natures manifest.
Different demonic natures may also come to take hold! Regarding all the varied actions of humanity, one can discern: under what causal conditions does this occur? Thus, in the fifteenth demonic entity, it is through the process of "departing from partiality and attaining self-existence" that the evolution of all ignorance and obstacles of sentient beings will arise, inevitably manifesting from this!
How should the various natures of humanity be distinguished?
It also forms a confrontation with the demonic nature of "departing from the inherent consciousness," which involves incorporating one's own intentions into this nature. One can enter this state through the "demonic nature body." However, most "demonic nature bodies" already possess sufficient demonic supernatural powers to rely upon and are accompanied by numerous conceptual forms, serving as a means of elevation and transcendence.
Furthermore, regarding the various different natures, humanity only knows of the Buddha-nature and fundamentally cannot discern otherwise. How, then, does this function of demonic nature operate? It gives rise to a manifestation born of ignorance, leading one to believe that sentient beings possess only the Buddha-nature essence. Unbeknownst to them, in their myriad actions, the "demonic nature essence" also emerges to manifest itself.
Thus, it is through the manifestation of departing from bias and possessing consciousness that the seeds of demonic nature are formed. This constitutes a condition that can be possessed, rather than being solely a mutual reflection of the "Four Realms of Buddha's Domain." This karmic entity from the past has long since entered the Star of Earthly Darkness, which is why sentient beings among humanity come to possess the dual nature of "Buddha and Demon" as their foundation.
This is precisely for me: what kind of nature is it? It is simply unlikely to be understood! Human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend the seed causes of Buddha-nature, so how could they possibly grasp the levels of demonic nature? As the ancients said: when the Way rises by a foot, the demon rises by ten; when the Way rises by ten, the demon looms overhead. This distinction is not made based on the discourse of "the Way or Buddhism"!
The demonic nature of the fifteenth day departs from partiality, possessing its own awareness.
Regarding all the differences between "Dao, Buddha, and Demonic," humanity and sentient beings will encounter many illusions and obstacles. This also draws out, one by one, the karmic seeds stored in the Alaya-vijnana from past lives. Such a convergence of past temporal-spatial conditions with the present era, combined with all karmic causes, will indeed manifest distinct differences in demonic nature, as truly intended.
Thus, the human world is formed, and the various causes from past lives are drawn forth once again, becoming the causes inherent in all natures. This refers to the karmic seeds stored in the eighth consciousness, the *Alaya-vijñāna*. Furthermore, among the fifteen causes of demonic nature, the fifteenth is "separating from inherent consciousness," which makes it impossible for present-day human beings to discern. In such a nature, how is this to be understood?
In particular, for those who have already been able to depart from the Di Ming star system and venture into the broader cosmic galaxies, they have gained insight into the concept of "departing from bias to attain self-awareness." However, the majority of human beings fundamentally lack this concept and are unable to comprehend this state of departing from bias to attain self-awareness, instead believing themselves to be already exceptionally accomplished!
Thus, there emerges a type of human being who, through insights gained from the causes sown in the demonic realm, comes to understand the distinction: the nature of consciousness that transcends bias and possesses its own awareness. In the human world, apart from celestial demons, ordinary beings cannot comprehend this. Moreover, how can such a nature of consciousness, which transcends bias and possesses its own awareness, exist beyond the "realm of celestial demons"?
The demonic nature manifests various consciousnesses that make distinctions.
This type has already passed through: the seed cause of Buddha-nature, "the four stages of the Buddha realm, similar to the thirteen seed causes of the demonic nature," are on comparable levels, yet they will manifest with significant differences in the spatial realm of the Diming Star System! At the same time, both can also depart from the Diming Star System and advance toward the deeper cosmic star systems of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom.
What is lacking is a true diploma bestowed by Heaven, which is the spiritual practice realized from the seeds of demonic nature—a truly formidable one. Moreover, in the human world, without the discernment provided by the seeds of Buddha-nature, it is fundamentally impossible to truly comprehend all the origins and intricacies, let alone surpass the seeds of demonic nature.
This kind of human beings will become saturated with all the seeds of demonic nature. Under the influence of these demonic seeds, they will overshadow all righteous practices in the human world, leaving no means for further growth. Particularly among the various manifestations of demonic nature, they are bound to manifest the fifteenth demonic trait: "detachment from bias through self-awareness."
Having already embarked on various paths of growth within the cosmic celestial realms, why is it possible to transcend through Buddha-nature? And why can demon-nature also be transcended? In this vast cosmic celestial realm, it is precisely the domain where Buddha and demon forces wax and wane. Although "evil cannot prevail over good," there are often moments when "good fails to overcome evil"—how is this to be understood?
All sentient beings possess the nature of both Buddha and Mara within them.
Human beings must adjust their mindsets accordingly, and the various realms of celestial demons are as vast as the cosmic galaxies. Do people believe that the celestial realm of the universe can only accommodate all that is righteous? Not so! The vastness of the entire cosmic celestial realm is precisely what allows all realms of celestial demons to exist, thereby benefiting all living beings.
Why is this the case? The human world has, throughout the scriptures of the past, only spoken of "Buddha-nature" while remaining silent on "demonic nature." From this dichotomous perspective, humanity has been continuously influenced and indoctrinated by all scriptures with the concept of "the opposition between Buddha and demons," which is truly absurd!
To be honest, it all comes down to concepts that have been shaped over thousands of years. In essence, "Buddha and Mara" were originally brothers—one inclined toward righteousness, the other toward evil. From the perspective of the human world, the discourse on good and evil is much like the two sides of a human hand: one black, one white.
This white side is "Buddha-nature," while the darker side is "demonic nature." In truth, both originate from the same essence of color—why must we distinguish such differences? Humans tend to believe that in the process of attributing causes to the nature of demons, they also bring concepts of "righteousness and evil" into this differentiation, thereby creating distinctions within themselves as well.
The seeds of all Buddhas and demons in the human world.
Human beings are thus influenced by the scriptures of the past, and even the heavenly sages, immortals, and Buddhas rarely come to analyze or discuss the origins of such matters. This inevitably leads to classifying anything that does not align with one's own beliefs as an evil, demonic nature. As for whether humanity can transcend this state? It is not an easy task!
It is precisely because within the hearts of all human beings, both the Buddha and the demon already exist. Observing from the perspective of the vast cosmos and celestial realms: this differentiation in the levels of demonic nature allows all sentient beings to ascend and grow—the only question is whether they possess a true diploma of enlightenment. As for how this vast cosmic celestial realm itself fares? It remains fundamentally beyond comprehension!
Human beings have not truly discerned many concepts of knowledge, and it can be said that they even lack such immunity. This leads to the rise of the "dual nature of Buddha and demon" within humanity, especially when surpassed by the fourteenth: the disturbance of intellectual cunning. This has already formed an early departure from the spatial realm of Earthly Darkness, granting even greater power to the supernatural forces of demonic nature.
Thus, as one advances towards the celestial realm of the entire cosmic galaxy, the fourteenth stage of demonic causation: the further evolution of cleverness and restless consciousness, will inevitably become the fifteenth: the consciousness of detachment and self-existence. How, then, can one discern the manifestation of such latent causes in relation to demonic causation? Within this, how should one comprehend the distinctions of demonic causation?
The Buddha-nature and demon-nature within humanity all arise from the original mind.
It is essential for everyone to develop a genuine understanding, so that when encountering the seeds of demonic influence, they will not be easily overwhelmed. Only then can one adopt a more objective perspective to observe the entire cosmic system and the various celestial realms, recognizing the interdependent relationship that "where there is Buddha, there is Mara; where there is Mara, there is Buddha." This dynamic also serves as another means to aid sentient beings in their spiritual attainment.
This is about all actions, where everyone can fairly and equally "switch between Buddha and demon." It also addresses how to use true fairness to genuinely achieve the necessity of mutual fulfillment, as well as to analyze the delusions and obstacles of all religions in the world. In the realm of the human world, the difference between Buddha and demon is quite significant!
However, upon leaving the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star System, there exists a vast cosmic celestial domain. Could it be that the heavens above have no place to accommodate the world of celestial demons? One must not hold such a notion. Do not confine your understanding solely to the Earthly Nether Star System, for that is merely the teaching of all religions. It inevitably falls far short and is exceedingly difficult to comprehend, only furthering the creation of karma!
The demonic nature of the fifteenth is true;  
It is essential to understand its essence.
Abandoning self-centered notions,
True growth lies in benevolence.
Analyzing the causes of demonic nature, one finds the true marvels of the human path.
In the past, what was taught by the world  
True understanding depends on oneself.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement for all sentient beings. Even if the demonic nature is rooted at the fifteenth level, within the vast cosmic realms of the universe, there exists a mutual and impartial equality. Do not be misled by past religious scriptures into believing that only one's own realizations represent the true path. It is essential to understand the karmic causes accumulated over past lifetimes.
In today's analysis, the insights gained regarding the human world can be clearly understood through the palms of humanity—there is merely a front and a back, and what more can be done? Well, thank you all for accompanying this work. Observing such momentum, there is indeed a necessity for future expansion! Thank you, everyone. I have disturbed the Chongxin lineage for a while. Farewell!
Chapter 32: The Sea Turns into Mulberry Fields, Anomalies Diminish
##The Vast Cosmos, Emperor of the Western Radiance
December 1, 2015, the twentieth day of the tenth month in the yǐwèi year (Tuesday)
Bodhisattvas of the Western Heaven ascend the platform,  
Together gathering with the noble-hearted deities and sages.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The ancient mysteries as true as they tell.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the Northern Dipper from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the twelfth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos," analyzing the fifteenth demonic nature: the consciousness born of deviation and self-attachment. This is presented for everyone’s understanding, and I believe you will find it profoundly enlightening!
Why are the Buddha and the demon originally one entity? Particularly in relation to human beings, this distinction is made clear through the palm of the hand, which embodies both the Buddha and the demon as its two sides! I ask everyone: if it is said that the two sides of your own palm—one representing the righteous path and the other the evil path—would you agree? If not, would it be better to chop off the black side and keep only the white, righteous path?
This is the result of ideological indoctrination over thousands of years, which has led to the formation of the "dual obstacles of Buddha and Mara." Under this concept, it is essential to firmly remember this in the seeds of the eight consciousnesses, but absolutely avoid comparing or disputing it with human beings. Instead, one must understand that evolving through thought and concepts can elevate oneself.
Episode 33: The Changing Seas, The Unbroken Genes
## Wuji Shandao Tianzun
The cosmos, vast and boundless beyond compare,  
The Emperor of China descends in solemn grace.
The opportunity for human survival is seen as a height from which demonic nature arises.
Among human beings, there is a distinction between the Buddha and the demon.
The manifestation of demonic nature: It is categorized from the ninth to the twentieth level of demonic nature. Since sentient beings fundamentally lack any memory or conceptual knowledge of this, how can they discern the demonic nature? It is simply too difficult! This is because the demonic nature arises from the ninth level: the consciousness of playful delusion, and thereafter, it interacts and reflects with the Buddha-nature: the amala consciousness.
It also shapes how human beings enter the manifestation of demonic nature. Beforehand, there will be various recognitions, after which one enters the demonic nature: the tenth: the consciousness of illuminating illusion as empty, the eleventh: the consciousness of ordinary realms as utterly nonexistent, the twelfth: the consciousness of overwhelming and pervasive mind, the thirteenth: the consciousness of mere observation leading to total depletion, the fourteenth: the consciousness of agitated intellect, the fifteenth: the consciousness of detachment and inherent selfhood.
Re-entering the sixteenth: It is regarded as a highly profound understanding of the arising of phenomena. This type of human beings has fundamentally never heard of, nor will they comprehend, the entire sequence of events. Why is it that human beings possess a Buddha nature that is inherently excellent, yet there also arises a demonic nature? In truth, such human beings exist in every era and realm.
Thus, the two aspects of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" come into being. If observed from the perspective of the Earthly Dark Star's spatial dimension: once Buddha-nature manifests, correspondingly, the suppressed demon-nature accumulated by sentient beings throughout the ages also grows. In this way, it can be understood: why, within demon-nature, human sentient beings manifest what they themselves have formed!
The nature of demonic essence encompasses a multitude of distinctions and variations.
It becomes a manifestation of a demonic nature that arises within one's own Buddha nature, which then emerges in relation to the survival orientations of all human beings. Why does this demonic nature appear? In fact, it arises from the imperfections encountered in daily life, and thus, unconsciously, this "demonic nature" becomes prominently revealed.
Thus, as human beings are formed, the demonic nature manifests. Regarding the sixteen aspects of this demonic nature, it is precisely through "regarding it as a highly profound consciousness" that distinctions are made. Within this "regarding it as a highly profound consciousness," the "seeds of demonic causes" enter an intermediate stage, from which there is no day of retreat or reversal—only continuous advancement forward.
At the same time, it also transforms its own demonic nature into a higher and more profound level. Human beings have never possessed such a concept in the past. Moreover, in ancient scriptures, especially those after the Zhou Dynasty, the application of religious faith was relatively limited in its efficacy. However, after the Three Kingdoms period, such a temporal and spatial cause for faith emerged.
To form a world of universal humanity, the rise of the five religions has given rise to a mutual tug-of-war between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." This is precisely because, as stated in the past, there is only "self-nature" and fundamentally no such thing as "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." Thus, this distinction has come to define the formation of the Diming star system.
In the human world, the nature of beings is further distinguished by the seeds of Buddha and Mara.
Regarding what later religions refer to as the "manifestation of demonic nature," this concept has continued to influence humanity in the present era through the teachings of past religious scriptures. In truth, one should not distinguish between "Buddha-nature and demonic nature." It can thus be said that what is called demonic nature in the human world is merely the product of unwholesome qualities.
However, when viewed from the perspective of demonic nature, human beings are even more malicious and cruel. The human world is often described as possessing all Buddha-nature, as good and beautiful; thus, human beings have been misled by the scriptures of the past. In truth, with the growth of demonic nature, beyond the emergence of the fourteenth level of demonic nature, after the disturbance of wisdom and consciousness.
Only then does one enter the realm of the middle celestial demons. This type of middle celestial demon is capable of departing from the Earthly Nether Star System and moving freely back and forth, which can be described as the addition of a relatively inferior quality. Thus, it can be said that when sentient beings speak of the emergence of demonic nature, it is after the fourteenth level that one enters the realm of the "middle celestial demons."
To distinguish and compare: all twenty-six star systems in the great cosmos are under assessment; in particular, most are within the human world! Why, then, is this Earthly Dark Star System considered "the most severe"? It can be understood that among all twenty-six star systems, it is precisely the human-inhabited Earthly Dark Star System that is the most flawed stellar body.
The manifestation of demonic nature is imperceptible to humanity.
As for the other star systems, it can be said that they have gradually broken free from the trials of demonic nature, yet in the human realm, they remain constrained within a stage of testing. Can everyone understand this? That is to say, human beings are too polluted, too cruel, and even too malicious. Is there any opportunity for humanity to ascend and elevate? It is exceedingly difficult!
This manifestation of demonic nature, which arises as a seed cause entering the sixteenth level of demonic nature known as "regarded as supreme consciousness," will also, after passing through successive trials in the human world, undergo step-by-step examination if there is proper education as a process of cultivation. Regarding such examination, there will emerge a kind of "memory storage" that is profoundly unforgettable!
If one does not undergo trials, one cannot achieve any opportunity for ascension! For the general public, it is often the case that they are tested again and again from an early age. If they repeatedly fail to pass each hurdle, they will be left to "graze the cattle and eat grass"—no longer attended to, left to their own devices. All assessments in the human world operate precisely in this manner!
Is it possible to discern? It is rather unlikely to initiate the sixteenth demonic nature, "regarding as lofty and profound consciousness." Human beings, having planted the seeds of demonic nature, must, after their inner demons are stirred within the human world, align with all the intentions of human existence. This process combines with the ninth demonic nature, "playing with consciousness as if on a winding bridge."
The human nature is greatly influenced by intentional discrimination.
They also coordinate with each other in the human world, where only those who rise with the rooster’s crow and strive diligently are truly aligned with the well-being of all humanity. However, after a greater intrusion occurs, humanity will also manifest the demonic nature of the ninth level, known as "Wanqiao Nongshi." This state departs from all actions and behaviors that are in accordance with the principles of human existence. Anything that no longer conforms to the way of humane survival will inevitably be drawn into the realm of "Wanqiao Nongshi."
It is only upon entering the tenth manifestation of demonic nature that human beings can gradually progress upward. This progression is also a form of alternative practice. It can also be said that this demonic nature influences all orientations of existence, envelops the awakening of every conscience, and draws forth all the demonic traits accumulated throughout the ages.
It will manifest an understanding of "what I have intended"; in truth, this understanding is the nature of one's own being, yet it is absolutely imperceptible. A deeply entrenched obstacle will then arise and take effect, and as for whether I can start anew, it becomes impossible to discern. How, then, should one regard the sixteenth demonic nature, "perceiving it as lofty and profound consciousness"?
Demonic Nature Sixteen: Esteeming the Self as Lofty and Wise
Regarding all perceptions that are extremely difficult to resolve and impossible to comprehend within the human world, under the conditions of what is considered "supreme consciousness," there will inevitably emerge a reality in the human realm that cannot be altered. In the future, it will gradually descend into a "demonic state." And how, then, will all "demonic trials" in the human world unfold?
Only after the formation of the fourteenth demonic nature, "Clever Intellect and Restless Consciousness," does the genuine opportunity for such "Heaven's Mandate" arise. The vast multitude of human beings across the world, having reached this fourteenth level of demonic nature, then carry out a "Divine Examination of All Living Beings on Behalf of Heaven." In particular, this examination becomes even more rigorous for humanity itself.
Can everyone pass through? That is rather unlikely! Because there is no such concept, and in the current era, only the "Chongxin Sect Lineage" can elucidate the levels of demonic nature, truly disseminating the profound mysteries of heaven that were previously incomprehensible. Under these conditions of karma, it is precisely "Heaven and Earth" that serve as its foundation!
Sixteen trials of demonic nature,  
Loving humans fail to pass.
Level after level, each trial is passed,
Yet how arduous to discern the work within.
The demonic nature is the foundation, having long since entered the great galaxy.
Regarded as profound and lofty, the seed of cause is sown,  
Yet in the mortal realm, none can grasp its true meaning.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: to analyze the sixteen levels of demonic nature by "regarding them as profound consciousness," and to examine all universes and realms, it is precisely the Earthly Nether Star System that stands as the most severe, targeting human beings with the cruelest and most malicious actions. Such conditions are absolutely not the result of any bias from the Heavenly Will.
It is precisely because sentient beings are a karmic entity exceedingly difficult to educate and transform that they cannot ascend and progress. This gives rise to the impression that, since ancient times, there has been no manifestation of descent into the human world. How then can we discern the mysteries within? Let us await the next installment. Thank you all for your companionship in this work. Today, we have disturbed the Chongxin lineage for a while. We appreciate your efforts. Farewell!

讚賀、序引、頌勉
##The Great Cosmos, Emperor Nanhua
The Supreme Joyful Celestial Venerable ascends, joining the assembly of revered deities and enlightened beings at the Heart of Reverence.
May all be auspicious and well,  
And the sixteen demonic natures be dissected and resolved.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Universal Emperor of the Great Cosmos, the Divine Sovereign of China, has descended to compose the thirteenth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos," elucidating the sixteenth demonic nature, "Regarding Oneself as Highly Enlightened." This reveals the profound mysteries of all examinations for humanity, embodying the true path!
Furthermore, after reaching the fourteenth stage of "Sharp Wisdom and Keen Awareness," one can transcend the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star. However, attaining such a state is not something ordinary individuals can achieve. Most will instead manifest as "demonic offspring and descendants." Therefore, it is essential to understand the origins and intricacies of the seeds of demonic nature.
Such conditions and circumstances truly represent a genuine ascent and transcendence for me. I am grateful to the Divine Emperor of China for descending to elucidate and analyze, and I also thank all students and disciples for their companionship and contributions. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will make good efforts to separate the website of the "Academy of the Supreme Way of the Ultimate" accordingly.
It will yield beneficial effects, serving as a fundamental practice of "filial piety and gratitude" for all sentient beings. This will guide more virtuous descendants to join the "Vanguard of the Great Dao's Propagation," promoting benevolence and grace. Everyone must strive diligently; thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

## The Heavenly Venerable of the Ultimate Way and Truth
The vast cosmos bathes the celestial horizon,  
As the Emperor of Eastern Florescence descends in auspicious arrival.
The Fourteenth Cycle of the Great Dao Universe  
Manifestation, Illumination, and Response Are Its Fundamental Mechanism
The Distinction of Causes in the Nature of Demonic Influences
When sentient beings enter the human world, they encounter favorable mutual conditions that foster the necessity for their upward growth. In this process, the function of reflecting upon all past influences emerges. This kind of demonic nature also arises from such reflective consciousness and intentionality. However, it is distinguished by the duality of "Buddha-nature and demonic nature."
This is: by interlinking the arising, manifestation, illumination, and response of consciousness, one can understand that for all sentient beings, all actions are thus generated, enabling them to enter the human world. This intentional operation of arising, manifestation, illumination, and response also distinguishes between the "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." One leads to virtuous growth, while the other leads to unwholesome growth.
However, it is impossible to discern within the "seeds of demonic nature": how are all the functions and achievements brought about by the arising, manifestation, and responsive consciousness? In the seventeen levels of demonic nature, the "arising, manifestation, and responsive consciousness" also allows for the discernment of similar functions in the human world, specifically aimed at sentient beings entering the intangible realm.
That is to say, through the "Arising-Present-Illuminating-Responding Consciousness," an interplay between the functions of Buddha and Mara gives rise to a certain Buddha-nature on one hand and a certain Mara-nature on the other, which become interconnected. At the same time, this "Arising-Present-Illuminating-Responding Consciousness" is incorporated into the seventeenth level of Mara-nature's function. Moreover, within this spacetime, the "Arising-Present-Illuminating-Responding Consciousness" also draws forth past karmic entities.
The demonic nature is categorized into nine to twenty levels.
Embedded in all actions and behaviors, this set of causal conditions gives rise to various "manifesting reflective consciousnesses" in their essence. Specifically, after the seventeenth level of demonic nature, there emerges what is called the "seed of manifesting reflective consciousness." Even a slight inclination toward one side can trigger a different kind of intentional thought to arise.
Among human beings at the demonic level, for the seventeenth level, it will be determined by: the origins and development of the arising, manifestation, illumination, and response of consciousness. However, for most, as long as they lean toward the unrighteous path, it becomes impossible to change. From the perspective of Heaven, this is precisely to grant the opportunity to enter the demonic nature, plant its causes, and thereby achieve virtuous cultivation and transformation!
Thus in being: the consciousness that arises and manifests in response to perception inevitably tends toward one side, and thus it continues to ascend. However, for more than ninety-nine percent of "demonic entities," they persistently incline toward: arising and manifesting in response to consciousness and proceeding forward in practice, utterly unable to comprehend how all the turning points within it come about.
Therefore, regarding the planting of the seed of Buddha-nature, even at the seventeenth level of planting the seed of demonic nature, it becomes that as long as one leans toward the other side, for this causal entity, there is only a one percent condition! In contrast, most are unable to discern that: the arising of the illuminating responsive consciousness, in essence, is fundamentally determined by the "mutual transformation of Buddha and demon," which must become the most crucial link.
The distinction between Buddha and demon manifests in their fundamentally different natures.
If at this stage, one still cannot cultivate and bring about change, it is believed that one will be entirely unable to lean toward the side of the righteous path. This cosmic evolution and the virtuous grace of the great way of heaven and earth also hope to redirect the seeds of demonic nature. Precisely from the seventeenth level of demonic nature: transformation is possible!
That's enough to distinguish: For "the sowing of demonic seeds," how should one incline towards the side of the righteous path and avoid the side of the unrighteous path? Regarding this kind of heavenly mystery and profound secret, it can be said: Most have already fallen into the sowing of demonic seeds, yet they still cannot recognize the compassionate grace of Heaven. How, then, can they benefit all living beings?
Conversely, there remains a tendency to lean toward the unrighteous path. Therefore, it is essential to possess keen awareness in order to incline the "arising, manifesting, reflecting, and responding consciousness" toward the side of righteousness, thereby preventing oneself from being continuously dragged into deviation. Such is the universal principle of the cosmos! It represents the diverse manifestations of the supreme virtue and grace of Heaven upon the myriad star systems of the universe.
However, there remains a portion that focuses on rectifying the "seeds of demonic nature," avoiding continuous entanglement in its cycles. Therefore, the universal principles of the Great Dao are precisely what guide all sentient beings toward elevation and transcendence to another realm. If one descends into the seventeenth level of demonic nature, it is through the "consciousness of arising manifestation and response" that distinctions are made.
The distinction between demonic natures is largely a matter of degree.
Regarding all the virtues within heaven and earth, the cosmos, and the Great Dao, there will be a correspondingly greater enhancement! However, the same applies to the causes of Buddha-nature. As for the seventeenth level: the emergence of reflective consciousness, by this point, one has already departed from the Earthly Dark Star System. If one inclines toward the unrighteous path, they will inevitably continue to sink deeper!
One will thus fall into demonic nature. Within this karmic essence where Buddha and demon mutually transform, shaped by all that exists in the vast cosmos, it inevitably gives rise to many manifestations: the arising of consciousness that reflects and distinguishes, entering into all distinctions between the true path and the false path. It is in this way that sentient beings make their judgments: the arising of reflection and response!
It also draws out the causes planted throughout the ages, and from within the ocean of the Tathagata's nature, it instantly transforms into different intentions: Buddha becomes Mara, Mara becomes Buddha. Sentient beings may believe that Buddha and Mara are fundamentally unchanging; yet in reality, in the ancient times and spaces, there have already been numerous changes, a constant alternation between Buddha and Mara.
After the Buddha-Sage underwent a great process, the causes of demonic nature were thus dispersed. Consequently, within this causal body, the causes of demonic nature evolved anew into a "causal body of Buddha-nature." As a result, it carries with it all past ignorance, necessitating a vast span of time and causal conditions to perform the function of purification.
The demonic nature reveals the differences in various orientations.
It also brings all human practices into alignment with those of the cosmic and celestial realms, interconnecting and manifesting all phenomena. It further distinguishes these manifestations through the recognition of corresponding consciousness seeds, while prompting reflection on how I should cultivate growth in the present moment. If one attempts to differentiate using the "consciousness of manifest correspondence," most will find it impossible to comprehend. How, then, can one grasp its profound mysteries?
If it is said that the seed of demonic nature is immutable, and that the seed of Buddha nature cannot regress, then I ask everyone: where do the sentient beings of love and emotion in the present moment come from? This age-old mystery is now, for the first time, being analyzed in relation to human existence, allowing us to understand why there exists the mutual transformation of "Buddha turning into demon, and demon turning into Buddha"!
At this moment in time and space, with "natures aligning," even a single arising thought or movement of the mind incorporates the "consciousness of arising manifestation and responsive illumination" into the "agreement and transformation of Buddha and Mara." How should this agreement be made, and how should the transformation occur? To form the great operation of the entire cosmic galaxy, even before the Limitless gives rise to the Supreme Ultimate, the necessity of "agreement and transformation, transformation and agreement, dissolution and transformation, transformation and dissolution" already exists!
The demonic nature plants its seeds in a root that fundamentally lacks any concept.
Humanity fundamentally lacks such a concept! Moreover, how could one comprehend the mysteries of the transformation from Wuji into Taiji? Since ancient times, throughout the cycles of time and space, it has been mentioned that by the second cosmic epoch, all the mysteries of the universe—such as the seas turning into mulberry fields—had already sunk into the depths of the earth, leaving nothing behind in the human world.
Forming the pivotal transformation of "Buddha turning into Mara, and Mara turning into Buddha"; moreover, everyone will come to understand all intentions before the Wuji descends and transforms into Taiji—how profound this mystery is! It may appear to everyone as "ambiguous and uncertain": on one side, the Buddha has long been accomplished, while on the other, Mara has long entered—what then will become of it?
It is distinguished by the "consciousness of arising, manifestation, illumination, and response." This intricate connection is the great mystery of the universe. Human beings fundamentally lack such a conceptual framework, which is why they assume that the Buddha realm never regresses and demonic nature never retreats. This is the great compassionate virtue bestowed by Heaven, distinguishing between the righteousness of Buddhas and the evil of demons—whether one is elevated and transcends, or elevated yet fails to transcend.
When manifest consciousness responds with distinctions,  
The seeds of Buddha-nature and demon-nature bear great causes.
Human beings find it hard to discern,  
And the profound mysteries within are even harder to grasp.
The demonic nature that cannot be spoken corrupts,  
From various angles, it is separately harbored.
Rising to manifest, reflecting and responding to the intentions formed,  
The heavens above achieve, yet the inherent nature is contrary.
This verse is offered as mutual encouragement to all sentient beings; it analyzes the distinctions between following the righteous path and the unrighteous path throughout the ages, as spoken of by humanity: in the interplay between Buddha and Mara, how should one seize such causes and conditions for growth! Thank you all for your companionship in this work, and for sparing some time for the Chongxin lineage. Gratitude to everyone, farewell!
Chapter 36: Technological Evolution — The Tri-Pure Qi Substance
## The Vast Cosmos, Sovereign of Northern Splendor
The Celestial Worthy of Limitless Wealth Arrives,  
Today, for the first time, I truly understand.
The eternal designs of Buddha and demon alike  
All humanity suffers the lull of religion.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Floral Realm from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the fourteenth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Universe." This chapter analyzes the seventeen layers of demonic nature: arising, manifesting, reflecting, and perceiving consciousness. Since ancient times, human beings have thus been distinguished by their inherent nature!
Moreover, they fail to realize that humanity is the most terrifying species of all! This is precisely why the grace of heaven descends to subdue the seventeenth level of demonic nature, and why the distinctions of "arising, manifesting, reflecting, and responding consciousness" cannot be fully articulated in the human realm. Demonic nature is seen as unrighteous, while Buddha-nature is regarded as righteous. How, then, should one perceive the relationship between Buddha-nature and demonic nature?
There will be a tendency to favor one side! Why can the Chongxin lineage accurately convey such celestial mysteries and secrets to everyone? It is precisely to prevent everyone from being continually deceived by religious scriptures, which obscure the true principles of heavenly order, thereby hindering their own future elevation and improvement. This is conveyed through the mysteries of the cosmic constellations and the universe.

## Limitless Blessing-Gathering Celestial Worthy
The myriad star systems of the vast cosmos,  
The Western Flower Emperor descends in auspicious presence.
The Great Dao Series Exhibition Promotes and Upholds  
With Intention and Inherent Nature as the Foundation.
The demonic nature is categorized into nine to twenty levels.
When sentient beings enter the human world, they bring with them the dual nature of Buddha and Mara into this realm. However, most ordinary human beings are fundamentally unable to discern the meaning of this Buddha-Mara nature. If the Buddha-nature is manifested, it becomes easier for human beings to understand.
However, if we consider the human world, the fundamental causal entity that gives rise to the current "manifestation of demonic nature" originates from the essence of this demonic nature. Every human being inherently possesses this basic quality, which also makes it impossible for the human world, within the essence of demonic nature, to understand that human beings should only possess a "Buddha-nature entity" and not a "demonic-nature entity"!
Thus, for sentient beings, a notion may arise: I possess only Buddha-nature, not demon-nature! In reality, within the human realm, sentient beings often perceive one side as Buddha and the other as demon. This "Buddha-nature essence" is universally acknowledged, whereas the "demon-nature essence" is not.
Therefore, it can be said that human beings are essentially: having deceived themselves in their very nature, how then can they, after the ninth demonic nature—the consciousness of playful deception—proceed step by step to thoroughly comprehend the tenth: the consciousness of illusory emptiness, the eleventh: the consciousness of boundless ordinary realms, the twelfth: the consciousness of overwhelming delusion, and the thirteenth: the consciousness of exhaustive dissipation.
The demonic nature arises from distinctions, giving rise to attachments and discriminating consciousness.
Fourteenth: The Intellect of Profit and Wisdom, Fifteenth: The Intellect Detached from Partiality and Self-Existence, Sixteenth: The Intellect Regarded as Lofty and Profound, Seventeenth: The Intellect Arising as Manifestation and Response, and further, the Eighteenth: The Intellect of Arising Intention and Grasping Nature, thereby differentiate sentient beings into the essence of demonic nature, resulting in an inability to discern the "Intellect of Arising Intention and Grasping Nature."
It is precisely because everyone assumes that demonic nature exists in only one form, that they are unaware: while the Buddha-nature within human beings has thirteen levels, the demonic nature actually possesses twenty distinct levels of differentiation. This is because demonic nature originates from a fundamental, innate causal entity, which also genuinely divides the seed causes of demonic nature into varying degrees.
Thus, regarding the demonic nature, after reaching the thirteenth level, one can transcend the space of the Diming Star System. However, if one only achieves the ninth level of demonic nature: "Wanqiao Nongshi," it is still insufficient to leave the space of the Diming Star. It is only after attaining the twelfth consciousness that one gains supernatural abilities, thereby enabling transcendence beyond the space of the Diming Star System.
Once human beings are formed, they become incapable of discernment. How, then, can the seeds of demonic nature be planted? Without even the most fundamental understanding of such concepts, how can one progress toward growth? It is indeed exceedingly difficult! In the face of the distinctions that arise in the human world regarding the seeds of demonic nature, one is unable to comprehend their mysteries, and there is simply no recourse.
The demonic nature plants its seeds across eighteen levels, where intentions arise and cling to the nature of consciousness.
Chapter Eighteen: The Seeding of Demonic Nature

Thus arises: the function of consciousness, driven by the nature of attachment, can discern the seeds of demonic nature. Yet, for human beings, it remains impossible to fully comprehend all its intricate origins and consequences! For oneself, it manifests as the demonic nature that has, since ancient times, acted as one's master—not merely by invoking the Buddha-nature as a support.
In the human world, all forms of existence and dependencies give rise to sentient beings. Since ancient times, it has remained incomprehensible how all ignorance and volitional actions come into being. It can be said that such causes, conditions, and effects also emerge in the second kalpa, giving rise to the "seeds of demonic nature." All manifestations in this second kalpa indeed unfold precisely in this manner.
Moreover, even among human beings, it is impossible to fully comprehend the function of these billions of years. The human world merely repeats itself within the mortal realm, relying solely on a survival-oriented approach. In each moment and circumstance, it remains impossible to truly understand all the causes and consequences. Furthermore, due to the diverse categories of causes related to demonic nature, the distinctions have become far too numerous!
Buddha Nature and Demonic Nature: In human beings, the difference lies in the eight levels of demonic nature. If judged by the causes planted since the second kalpa, human beings are truly unable to discern. Within the "causes of demonic nature," all that exists in the cosmic celestial realms actually finds it easier to survive within the Earthly Dark Star.
The demonic nature varies greatly due to its distinct characteristics.
If one were to depart from the spatial realm of Earth's underworld, it would be considered as vast as the entire macrocosmic space. Thus, the seeds of demonic nature have only ever encircled the entirety of Earth's underworld within this galaxy, along with other neighboring celestial bodies. Consequently, within the grand cosmic galaxy, different manifestations arise.
It allows the seeds of demonic nature to take root within each celestial body. Thus, within the entire spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star, all manifestations of demonic seeds serve as trials for sentient beings. If these lead to genuine negative growth, then considering Buddha-nature as positive and demonic nature as negative would already deviate from impartiality and equality.
This kind of causal condition can be discerned: it is a truthful examination of all manifestations of sentient human beings in relation to their demonic nature. Such examination in the human world is also truthfully carried out by the decrees of Heaven. As for this examination of demonic nature, how can it be said to be a "malevolent essence"? It is precisely not so!
The manifestation of demonic nature is exceedingly difficult for sentient humans to perceive.
The eighteenth level of demonic seed causes is discerned through the "consciousness arising from attachment to intention." This type, formed by the consciousness of attachment to intention, can be assessed by sentient beings in the human realm within the world of human existence. It often manifests in human beings as a form of evaluation that exceeds the ordinary scope of assessment.
When joining the human world and observing the manifestations arising from various causes, human beings often say: the seed causes of demonic nature are undesirable and inferior roots! From the perspective of religious scriptures, this indeed appears to be the case. However, when viewed from the standpoint of the entire cosmic galaxy, this is not so—in fact, there exists a significant difference.
Furthermore, this perception held by humanity is not entirely accurate; it is merely a different perspective. From the standpoint of demonic nature, it achieves the awakening of sentient beings through opposition. If viewed from the perspective of the Earthly Nether Star System, it indeed represents an unfavorable karmic entity. However, if considered from the perspective of star systems beyond the Earthly Nether Star, what might it then become?
Humans are not subjected to the assessment of perceiving the seeds of demonic nature.
What about all the galaxies in the universe? Such assessments and trials often achieve the opposite, shaping sentient human beings. How should we understand this perspective? It is indeed too difficult to comprehend! Thus, human beings come to believe that the "seeds of demonic nature" represent negative habits, while only the "seeds of Buddha-nature" are the correct and righteous habits!
Human beings are viewed from this perspective; conversely, few can pass through the examinations and evolutions of the entire cosmic galaxy. This kind of cause for demonic nature can be discerned starting from the ninth consciousness: the Wǎnqiáo Nòng consciousness, progressing to the eighteenth level: the consciousness of arising attachment, which gives rise to sentient human beings. How, then, will it unfold?
How can one comprehend all the virtues bestowed by Heaven upon the myriad celestial systems? Sentient beings enter the trials of existence precisely through this path. Such rare knowledge and understanding of causality can only be elucidated within the lineage of the Revered Heart School, through the analysis of "the seeding of demonic nature and the seeding of buddha-nature." How, then, can humanity ascend and elevate itself?
The eighteen seeds of demonic consciousness,  
For human beings, their traces are hard to discern.
When intention arises, it is the nature of consciousness to dissect and discriminate;  
Only then does the work of reverse examination come into play.
Demonic nature is realized through humanity;  
Sentient beings fail to comprehend its convergence.
At the root, there is a lack of understanding; the virtue of heaven is profound and distant, difficult to encounter.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; by truthfully analyzing the origins and nature of the demonic aspects within humanity, human beings may come to believe that all they perceive is the righteous path! In reality, they are often acting contrary to it, and their understanding remains quite superficial. This is what is upheld and taught through the religions of the human world.
It is truly quite helpless! By analyzing the differences between the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature and the twenty levels of demon-nature, we present to all a phenomenon that has never manifested in the human world since ancient times. How, then, can we discern the mysteries within? Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Farewell, everyone!

##The Vast Cosmos, Star Lord of the Central Dipper
The Celestial Venerable of the Limitless Good Path arrives,  
Arranging the truths of the Great Dao series in order.
Sentient beings are hard to discern,  
Yet the seeds of Buddha and Mara are clearly understood.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Great Emperor of Xihua from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the fifteenth chapter of "The Great Dao Universe," analyzing the eighteen layers of demonic nature: the consciousness arising from attachment. This will manifest in sentient beings as varying responses to the celestial opportunities bestowed upon them.
In truth, while human beings are influenced by the teachings of past scriptures, they remain unable to comprehend the complete origins and underlying causes of existence. Only through the enlightenment of the Chongxin lineage has this celestial mystery, hidden for millennia, been revealed and disseminated. This unveiling of divine secrets within the human world represents the first and only thorough analysis of its kind, as no other religion has ever disclosed such insights.
Thus, in the process of both Buddha and Mara, which one is the righteous path? And which one is the evil path? It is like the palm of a human being: one side is white, the other side is black. To speak of it in this way: white is Buddha, black is Mara—can it be like that? That is fundamentally impossible!
If one's nature is at the stage of being a "fusion of Buddha and demon," how can sentient beings truly progress, elevate, and transcend from such a state? In contrast, it requires immense determination and perseverance to reverse the dynamics of "nurturing the Buddha-nature and eliminating the demonic nature." Only by placing the right bet can one achieve great efficacy!
Today, we extend our gratitude to everyone for their diligent support and protection. It is due to the conditions and karmic connections established through the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts" that, in this present era, only the Chongxin lineage possesses such a rare and profound celestial opportunity to analyze. From the "energy entity of demonic nature and causal seeds," future generations of humanity will benefit greatly. Everyone must cherish this deeply!
## Wuji Daoyuan Tianzun
The myriad star systems of the vast cosmos—the Southern Florescence Emperor descends to forge a bond.
The great Dao and its truth form the foundation; the transformation of heaven and earth will surely proceed as desired.
The Differentiation of the Nineteen Demonic Natures — The Nature of Prejudice and Ignorance
When sentient beings enter the human world, different manifestations arise, particularly regarding the seeds of demonic nature. It can be said that no religion in the entire world has elucidated or analyzed this matter. Moreover, human beings themselves are unable to discern it. In the present era, how then can I come to understand the distinctions within the "seeds of demonic nature"?
It will manifest after the "Awakening of Consciousness at the Wan Bridge," and regarding all the seeds of demonic nature, it can now be understood in the present era that it is precisely through the "Chongxin Lineage" that the world's foremost "seeds of demonic nature" are analyzed. This is aimed at the manifestation of demonic nature, thereby removing the obstacles of ignorance that lead sentient beings astray.
However, human beings are unable to comprehend this process of cause-bearing, nor can they evolve the demonic seeds of causation to reach the nineteenth level of “biased nature and mindless awareness” for further evolution. What, then, of the demonic seeds of causation? If one follows the demonic seeds of causation, they will enter the stages beyond the nineteenth level, where they already possess vast supernatural powers.
Upon discerning sentient beings among humanity, the distinction between "Buddha-nature and demonic nature" becomes apparent. In the human realm, Buddha-nature exists at comparatively fewer levels than demonic nature. Within this context, it becomes clear how different grades of karmic causes related to demonic nature are formed, and how the evolution of these karmic causes of demonic nature truly unfolds. All this can be observed and understood through the phenomena of the human world.
How do human beings discern the nature of demonic entities?
Regarding the distinctions in demonic nature, one must rely on the demonic nature itself, which exists within the vast expanse of the universe. Therefore, it is impossible for human beings to discern: within the vast cosmos, how can there exist a "realm of the demonic celestial world"? Through such causes and conditions, one can understand the immense grace of the Heavenly Dao, which must also evolve the differences in the seeds of demonic nature!
Hence, there arises the question of how to cultivate an innate immunity within the human world against all manifestations rooted in "demonic causes," enabling me to discern and practice accordingly. This allows for a clear understanding of the interweaving of "Buddha-nature and demonic nature," guiding humanity toward an upward path of growth and bringing forth tangible benefits.
The cause of the seed of bias and ignorance in the mind can be understood as follows: Regarding the cosmic celestial realms, they have long transcended the Earthly Dark Star System, and thus, the human world is relatively less subject to significant interference. However, for human beings, they remain entangled in the manifestations of their own inner demons, further compounded by the involvement of the ninth: the demonic descendants of the Wanqiao Nongshi.
In the human realm, assessments are conducted; this leads to the activation of all inner demons in the mortal world, further compounded by the involvement of all "Middle Heaven Demons" from the demon realm. At this point, humanity is fundamentally unable to maintain control over their hearts and actions, thereby manifesting the "seeds of demonic nature" within them.
Demonic nature is also a manifestation arising from the causes sown by humanity.
It is precisely within the realm of the Earthly Dark Star System that demons intermingle and combine. At this point, even if one wishes to retreat toward goodness, there is no virtuous knowledge to facilitate transformation, nor can one embody the teachings of the immortal and buddha teachers to manifest within one's own mindset. Moreover, this dynamic further confines one within a state of limitation that is exceedingly difficult to transform.
Such conditions of cause and effect will remain unchanged for human beings, yet through shifts in individual mindset and perspective, one may enter a process of refinement. How, then, can the demonic nature within humanity be transformed? This present time and space can no longer be altered, but if viewed from the perspective of the entire cosmos, how might change unfold?
At present, for all human beings, this also serves as a fundamental condition for assessment. Compared to past eras, such trials and tribulations have become much rarer. This evolution of karma has become a necessity of the technological age, and it truthfully confronts "the bias of nature and the ignorance of the mind," guiding oneself toward a karmic entity capable of evolution.
This manifestation of all demonic forces in the human world, and how essential it is for me to ascend and grow! Because this karma has already entered, dwelling within the nineteenth level of demonic nature—"the mind of biased nature without consciousness"—it can discern that within the nature-essence, there is no longer the essence of humanity, yet it retains the memories stored from the past.
The nineteenth cause of demonic nature is a biased mind lacking discernment.
Yet, when the seed cause of the Vairocana nature ocean arises and manifests in the absence of mind, this kind of "nature-biased, mind-absent consciousness" makes it exceedingly difficult to guide sentient beings along a path of upward growth. In truth, the human world has already evolved this "nature-biased, mind-absent consciousness" into the second highest level of demonic nature. The supernatural power and force of this demonic nature are truly formidable!
Practically speaking, regarding the entire spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star and the relatively nearby celestial bodies, such causal conditions will subject all twenty-six star systems of the cosmos to a form of assessment and examination. Consequently, for other star systems, the effects are not as pronounced as they are for the Earthly Nether Star system, yet they still give rise to numerous obstacles and limitations.
This pertains to the karma of the past in the Earthly Nether Star System. However, in the present era, with the gradual rise of technological civilization, it is no longer quite the same as what was created in past times. Nevertheless, what can be clearly understood is that all the evaluative forces of the great cosmic heavens operate precisely at the level of "planting the seeds of demonic nature."
The nature of partiality arises from a lack of discernment in the mind: This is a rather high-level manifestation of one's inherent nature. Although it comes with an official certification of realization from the heavens, it can be distinguished through the overall process of examination. It is precisely directed toward another category of sentient beings with emotions and attachments, who are examined based on their own mental states, and it also targets the varying levels at which "the demon of the mind arises."
The Second High Level of Demonic Nature: Inclination to Bias, Absence of Discernment
This approach is based on human beings as its reference point, and it arises from humanity's ignorance leaning to one side, thus giving rise to such trials. In this way, if judged by demonic nature, these trials would be considered quite unfavorable for humanity. However, from the perspective of Heaven: in this process where Buddha and demon intersect, one side appears as Buddha to humanity, while the other side appears as demon.
For a human being, this is indeed the case. If one implants such attitudes and concepts into their own nature, they will inevitably encounter the necessity of "transforming both the Buddha and the demon." By genuinely transforming a certain demonic nature, it becomes the primary cause and condition for attaining Buddhahood. This demonic nature exists within the vast universe and the world.
Once all the manifestations within the spatial realm of the Diming Star System are sustained by these "seeds of demonic causes," there arises a necessity for assessment. As humanity and all beings step into this state, they will surely be able to discern truth from falsehood with clarity! Conversely, if this is absent, why then is it impossible to comprehend the primary causes and conditions underlying all origins and consequences?
The difference in the seeds sown by Buddha and Mara is far too great.
One will then enter into this demonic entity, which perpetually encircles one's own body, and sentient beings in the human realm cannot escape this limitation and obstruction! For all myriad spirits and living beings in the human world act precisely in this manner, and it becomes a reality that without trials, the foundation of the Way cannot be established; only by facing trials and overcoming them can one achieve contentment and fulfillment!
Because there are assessment results as a basis, one can understand the quality of all human beings! By taking all living beings in heaven and earth as the starting point for the present causes of "biased nature and lack of awareness," and by placing human beings within this context, one can comprehend the entire process and how it unfolds.
This is a state cultivated through "the nature being biased and the mind lacking awareness," in which the fundamental nature of human beings is rarely present. To comprehend all the causal processes and conditions within it, one must possess the capacity for ascension and transcendence. Only then can one grasp the necessary course of all origins and outcomes, and thus, with regard to the vast universe and the world, there emerges an essential need for examination.
By nature, the biased mind lacks awareness of the seeds of karma,  
Thus, nineteen parts of demonic nature come to resonate.
Why does it manifest at this very moment?  
It is precisely to examine the original nature of the heart.
The nature of bias is the root of a mindless heart;  
The cosmic galaxy is the source of demonic nature.
The great Dao cycles through myriad star systems,  
The grace of Heaven nurtures the origin of all life.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: the nineteenth demonic nature of human beings—the seed cause of biased heart and lack of awareness—is examined as its foundation. All human beings and myriad spiritual beings will undergo this examination. Moreover, the reason why human beings face the most severe examination in their conduct lies in the distinction between ascension and descent. I appreciate everyone’s companionship in this endeavor and apologize for troubling the Chongxin lineage for a time. Farewell, everyone!
##The Great Cosmos, the Golden Virtue Star Lord
The boundless cause and conditions descend upon the heart of reverence,  
The True Dao Celestial Venerable acts with virtuous intent.
The lineage of the Heart Reverence School writes:  
Nineteen days of demonic nature, nineteen days of virtuous nature.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Emperor of Nanhua from the Great Universe of the Cosmos has descended to compose the sixteenth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos." This chapter addresses the nineteenth demonic nature—the nature of prejudice and ignorance. Within the nineteenth level of demonic nature, the power of supernatural abilities has long been present and is immensely vast.
This nature of essence also requires gradual cultivation and elevation. It necessitates a prolonged period of practice to reach such a state, and only after transcending the fourteenth level of demonic nature, "the intellect disturbed by profit," can one truly attain the basis for the examination by the heavens. Only then does one possess a foundation for walking the path of righteousness.
Most people are influenced by classical texts, which prevents them from adopting a fair, equal, and objective perspective to gain a more truthful understanding of the entire cosmic galaxy. It is hoped that everyone can comprehend how the analysis of the "Chongxin Lineage" in the writings of the Great Dao Universe benefits all sentient beings.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We look forward to everyone joining us once more for learning and growth! The quality of this group of students is truly outstanding—you are able to genuinely grasp the meanings taught by the immortal and Buddha-like teachers, and understand the subtleties and nuances within. It is essential to reflect with care and consider in detail. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Wuji Yaochi Zhenbao Xiantong
The vast cosmos reveals the true celestial horizon,  
The Northern Florescence Emperor descends in solemn grace.
The Universe of the Great Dao, Seventeenth Cycle: Twenty Demonic Natures, No Heart's Stir
Twenty levels of demonic nature, devoid of heart, nature, and consciousness.
After sentient beings enter the human world, they manifest all kinds of different consciousnesses, which rely on and differentiate between various "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." This reliance on the vast cosmic heavens creates a relative dependency. If one operates under the nineteenth level of demon-nature, "biased nature without awareness," it means acting based on various demonic tendencies.
In particular, regarding the causes of demonic nature, if there exists a nineteenth level, it represents an exceedingly profound divine power. This kind of demonic nature has long advanced to the second highest level for cultivation. All beings in the human world have already transcended the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star System and will proceed to cultivate within the vast cosmic star systems. This is precisely because there exists a celestial realm's anchor point for it!
Also known as the "Demonic Celestial Realm," it encompasses all existing celestial realms: this demonic kingdom often aligns with the ranks of demonic offspring when demonic thoughts arise in the human world. How should one approach these demonic offspring, who may trigger opportunities for lesser demon kings? It may be asked: What is the nature of such karmic connections?
It is when the inner demons arise in the minds of human beings that they stir the external celestial demons. Yet these celestial demons are merely minor ones within the human realm. If it were the celestial demon kings of the central heavens, the conditions would not be so simple. It could be said that they have already transcended the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star System. How, then, would all humanity and sentient beings in the human world fare?
How are the levels of demonic karma differentiated?
It is precisely the activation of one's own inner demons, coupled with their interconnection with the external minor demon kings, that once this inner demon is stirred, it inevitably links with the external minor demon kings. At this point, there is simply no room for retreat. It can be said that one has already entered the ninth to twelfth layers of the demonic entity, within the realm of the minor demon kings.
Afterwards, if one wishes to ascend further into the thirteenth to sixteenth levels, the Mid-Heaven Demon King will come to observe: such individuals have already entered the ranks of the "Mid-Heaven Demon King." It can be understood that they have long since entered the entirety of the vast cosmic galaxy system and will conduct assessments for all enlightened beings who have transcended beyond the Earthly Nether Galaxy.
Upon reentering the seventeenth to twentieth levels, the intentions of the Great Heavenly Demon King manifest. These beings already possess immense demonic supernatural powers and strength, derived from the genuine guidance of the Lesser and Intermediate Heavenly Demon Kings. All the conditions of the "quantum-energy body" of supernatural powers and strength are fully present here, serving as a negative exercise in assessment and examination, thereby establishing a foundation for the future.
In the Earthly Nether Star System, every sentient being of each species is assessed by the "Minor Celestial Demon King." If one departs from the Earthly Nether Star System, they are then evaluated by the "Intermediate Celestial Demon King." Should one reach an even higher and more profound level, the assessment is conducted by the "Major Celestial Demon King." For those who depart, various trials are imposed to discern the stages and levels of their advancement.
Demonic Levels Nine through Twenty
All sentient beings are undergoing assessment, and this is not without reason; it also depends on how all codes of conduct in the human world are upheld. As for "those without heart, nature, or consciousness," they are derived from the twentieth level of demonic nature. In the world of humanity, all living beings are formed precisely with human beings as the benchmark for assessment.
Observing further the origins and manifestations of all actions and phenomena among the myriad sentient beings, we see that each being, each entity, arises and operates through the activation of the consciousness stored within their individual IC micro-crystalline structures. This is especially true for those undergoing the most severe trials—namely, human beings! You may have heard the saying that it is the "King of Asuras" who administers these trials of the Dao.
For all sentient beings in the vast universe, this benchmark, when applied to human beings, enters the foundational assessment of "demonic nature"—precisely based on this principle! It can be said that every single action and movement of such humans undergoing all assessments is manifested through the individual IC micro-crystals of each species.
All the various origins of manifestation are, in truth, a very authentic confrontation with the "seeds of demonic nature." Moreover, by incorporating the fundamental principles of humanity, they merge to reveal either the "emergence of the Buddha-mind or the activation of demonic nature." These differing conditions of causation are demonstrated throughout the vast cosmos through the myriad actions and behaviors of the human world.
The demonic nature of twenty has already lost its heart, its nature, and its consciousness.
In particular, by observing all the different actions in the human world, one can discern: whether you are a talent of the Way or a foolish talent! Such actions in the human world must be clearly understood and observed with utmost clarity, as they become the triggers for all "Buddha-nature and demon-nature" within the beings of Earth and the starry realms.
Through such interwoven coordination, it is precisely meant to ascend upward, forming a process of both pulling apart and restraining simultaneously. In response to the differing tensions between "Buddha-nature and demonic nature," humanity relies on this very reason to sustain itself. As for how I should ascend upward? Without upholding the true path and universal principles in practice, one will inevitably deviate from it!
There is often a tendency to lean toward the side of insufficiency, but what can be done about such fixation? What then becomes of the intention formed toward "mindlessness, naturelessness, and consciousnesslessness"? If ordinary individuals still harbor a margin of error in their understanding of "mindlessness, naturelessness, and consciousnesslessness," then upon reaching its highest level, any desire for change becomes, in fact, impossible.
The demonic nature arises from straying from the right path.
In the world of humanity, evolution also signifies a growth of "demonic nature," albeit under varying conditions and circumstances. This is the manifestation of the inherent essence of demonic nature, which propels one toward the realm of demonic conduct. As for the state of "no mind, no nature, no consciousness," it represents the highest level of demonic nature, capable of summoning across any demonic hierarchy.
That is to say, it possesses: a vast and formidable power of demonic supernatural abilities! Having already surpassed the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature by a significant margin, and with the demonic seed causes further increased by seven levels, all supernatural powers have long left Buddha-nature far behind. If one seeks to grow and surpass within Buddha-nature, it is no simple matter.
In addition to the essential attainment of the thirteen levels of Buddha-nature, one must further transcend the spatial realm of the Diming Star System. Only then can one fulfill the conditions of the energy body across levels 1 to 360, thereby surpassing the "causes of demonic nature" by a significant margin. This progression elevates beyond the original levels 1 to 360, enabling existence across various cosmic celestial realms.
The twentieth level of demonic nature: devoid of mind, consciousness, and awareness.
It exists within every galactic body, and there are various levels of Buddha-nature with different essential meanings. It can be said that one must transcend the space of the Earthly Dark Galaxy to avoid the predicament where "for every foot the Buddha (or Dao) rises, the demon rises ten," or "for every ten feet the Buddha (or Dao) rises, the demon stands above the head." This also fulfills the ancient saying: "Evil can never prevail over good!"
This type of underworld star space can be described as: righteousness fails to overcome evil! It harbors a kind of negative karmic entity from the human world, and thus, it imposes significant limitations and obstacles. Moreover, within the ignorance of the education each individual received in the past, demonic nature has been metaphorically regarded as extremely undesirable. However, from the perspective of demonic nature: human beings are even worse and more wretched!
Due to varying conditions and perspectives, the educational culture for human beings has become exceedingly superficial. It fundamentally lacks the capacity to adopt a relatively impartial and objective standpoint to discern the rights and wrongs, truths and falsehoods, as well as the righteousness and evil concerning all beings of the Earthly Nether Star. This is precisely why, throughout the ages, there has been a scarcity of analysis in the human world regarding the principles of fairness and objectivity.
Without mind, without nature, consciousness seeds the cause;  
Twenty demonic natures lack both mind and nature.
If one speaks of the highest level,  
It is to clearly discern the nature of demons and the practice of true suchness.
Human beings are bound by scriptures, unable to perceive the true essence of justice.
Only right and wrong marked with circles and crosses,  
Seldom is there a view that transcends and departs.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings. Within the twenty levels of demonic nature, it is through "no mind, no nature, no consciousness" that one evolves to reach the highest level of demonic nature. If one ascends by means of "nature biased, mind absent, consciousness lacking," one will also attain this state. Everything is determined by one's own actions, which shape the future.
The twenty levels of demonic nature and all their differences are analyzed for everyone. Could it be that the manifestations that have never descended into the human world for millennia should now be distinguished and their mysteries understood? Thank you all for accompanying this work. The momentum of the Chongxin Sect is quite strong, forming a great force of unity—truly something to celebrate! Having disturbed the Chongxin Sect for a while, we shall meet again!
## The Great Cosmos, the Star Lord of Wood Virtue
The Celestial Worthy of Boundless Blessings arrives,  
Gathering with all virtuous sages of Chongxin.
May all be auspicious and well,  
With twenty virtues, wisdom dispels the demonic spell.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the North Hua Emperor of the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the seventeenth chapter of "The Great Dao Universe." This chapter will guide us through the twentieth level of demonic nature, precisely using "no-mind and no-nature consciousness" to analyze the highest level of demonic nature.
It is precisely because in the human world, there exist many profound and difficult-to-resolve obstacles of ignorance. Such causes and conditions require the decree of the Heavenly Will to be proclaimed, in order to unravel the confusions that have persisted since ancient times! Now, the Chongxin lineage has received the decree of the Heavenly Will to elucidate the distinctions of the "ninth to twentieth levels" in the causes of demonic nature.
By analyzing these different levels of realms, we aim to provide everyone with genuine discernment, allowing wisdom to grow and bring benefit! Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We also hope everyone will join in to dig for treasures together! Only then can we achieve greater growth and transcendence. That’s all for today. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
## Limitless Jasper Pool Numinous Treasure Immortal Youth
The vast cosmos is blessed with virtuous grace; the Star Lord of the Central Dipper descends to forge a covenant.
The nature of demonic qualities varies in their distinctions,  
Manifesting in layers to reveal the mysteries of heaven.
The nature of demonic seeds varies in their levels of causation.
When sentient beings enter the human realm, they are transformed by certain scriptures, and past incarnations in different species are categorized as unorthodox. Thus, it becomes clear: the vast cosmic system possesses immense virtue and grace, embracing all diverse living beings, and creating spaces for each to exist in their own unique way.
Regarding all practices within the human world, the notion that only human beings represent the true path is profoundly incorrect! It should be understood: sentient beings, whether human or other species, as well as all living beings across other celestial bodies—can any of these be deemed not part of the true path? This perspective is merely upheld within the confines of the human world and thus proclaimed as such!
It is precisely because only humans are considered to be on the righteous path, yet little is known that among all twenty-six star systems in the vast universe and celestial realms, it is human beings who bear the most severe defilements of consciousness. They are also the most impure and cruel. Throughout the ages, religious scriptures have consistently taught that humans are the righteous race, while in the trials of the Dao, the Asuras are deemed unrighteous!
This human world is referred to as the righteous path. However, when viewed from the perspective of the vast heavens and earth, the cosmic galaxies, the most severely polluted among them are human beings. In the face of the immensity of the cosmic galaxies, the teachings imparted to humanity are incorrect, which makes it exceedingly difficult for human beings to ascend and progress.
The seeds of demonic nature will also grow upward.
It is precisely because they are confined by religious scriptures that they are shaped by misguided thoughts, never reflecting on their own shortcomings, deficiencies, and errors! It is essential to adopt an objective and impartial mindset in practice, while also embracing all beings across the universe and the heavens. Only then can goodness grow and flourish!
The distinction in the origins of demonic nature: Sentient beings in the human realm often believe that demonic nature exists in only one form. Yet, they are unaware that through the course of practice, one can discern the thirteen levels of "Buddha-nature origins" and the twenty levels of "demonic-nature origins," a difference of seven levels between them.
Human beings lack this very concept to incorporate into their own thoughts, aspiring for upward growth. They cannot yet truly comprehend the entire chain of cause and effect involved here. It can thus be said that human beings are greatly deficient, especially regarding the "seeding of Buddha-nature," which is extensively elaborated in Buddhist scriptures.
However, there are no scriptures whatsoever that elucidate the essential principles of "planting the seeds of demonic nature." If we categorize the planting of demonic seeds into three major stages, we can analyze them from the ninth to the twelfth level, then from the thirteenth to the sixteenth level, and finally from the seventeenth to the twentieth level, each stage manifesting distinct characteristics.
Manifestations of demonic nature arise at various levels.
In particular, the causes of demonic nature arise from distinctions made by the eight consciousnesses: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, manas consciousness, and alaya consciousness—all of which are identical in the earlier stages. It is only from the ninth consciousness onward that the "causes of demonic nature" begin to differentiate. Starting from the ninth "Wanqiao Nong consciousness," all distinctions manifest, marking the entry into the causes of demonic nature.
This stage exists only within the spatial realm upon which humanity depends, serving as the basis for the future attainment of the status of a lesser demon king. Once it manifests as inner demons toward sentient beings, it transforms into demonic offspring and followers, taking possession of all that humanity relies upon. After the ninth stage, known as "Wanqiao Nongshi" (the manipulation of consciousness at the illusory bridge), it becomes the foundation for all actions and practices.
Regarding the manifestation of the tenth demonic nature, it is only after the activation of the inner demon that one enters the foundation of the tenth level. How can human beings discern the various demonic natures? From the perspective of the eleventh level of demonic nature, it is precisely because all human beings manifest and act upon their own inner demons that external demons are drawn to join in.
It is about placing oneself in an irreversible situation, then delving into the twelve levels of demonic nature. This distinguishes the path practiced by the lesser demon kings, leading to different orientations as one advances toward the intermediate demon king! Gradually, the power of demonic supernatural abilities becomes fully realized, and all past distinctions—between clarity and obscurity—are set aside.
The levels of demonic nature are divided into distinct stages.
This classification of the ninth to twelfth levels pertains to the first stage of demonic nature. Consequently, all obscurations of ignorance can be transformed and redirected from this point. Specifically, the "playful manipulation of consciousness" corresponds to the ninth level of demonic nature; "illuminating illusion to realize the emptiness of consciousness" corresponds to the tenth level; "the vast realm of non-consciousness" corresponds to the eleventh level; and "the pervasive, leaping mind-consciousness" corresponds to the twelfth level of demonic nature.
The demonic entity of the thirteenth level of demonic nature operates in conjunction with the "subtle and vast consciousness" of the thirteenth level of Buddha-nature. This occurs when human beings enter a state where they cannot clearly comprehend the conditions of the dark star system. At this point, it becomes exceedingly difficult for human beings to understand the entirety of the Celestial Demon King, for they have already entered the vast celestial realm of the universe.
In the practice of confronting the manifestations arising from the fourteen levels of demonic nature, these varied manifestations serve as the criteria for assessing those who seek to transcend the Earthly Underworld star system and all realms beyond. Based on these criteria, practitioners may also, through the fourteenth level of demonic nature, receive from Heaven a formal diploma of assessment, which serves as a reliance in the vicinity of the cosmic star systems.
The intricate origins and developments of the fifteen levels of demonic nature, along with the causal conditions that give rise to all demonic seeds, are governed by the Celestial Demon King. This forms the sixteenth level of demonic nature, all of which can be attributed to the jurisdiction of the "Celestial Demon King." Consequently, many cosmic star systems in the universe are endowed with this type of energy entity, providing a tangible and factual basis for their existence.
Very few human beings understand the planting of demonic seeds.
Observing the Exhaustion of Consciousness: This is the thirteenth level of demonic nature.  
Sharp Intellect Disturbing Consciousness: This is the fourteenth level of demonic nature.  
Detachment from Bias and Self-Awareness: This is the fifteenth level of demonic nature.  
Regarding as Supreme Consciousness: This is the sixteenth level of demonic nature.  
All actions of myriad beings and all living things are evaluated based on these principles, progressing level by level upward!
If one were to ascend to the seventeenth level of demonic nature, it would govern all the worlds of the Central Heaven star system, subjecting even the higher-level saints, immortals, and Buddhas to evaluation. For all sentient beings and myriad spirits, this represents a genuine path of upward cultivation. However, it also plants the seed of the eighteenth level of demonic nature, thereby enabling the full manifestation of all demonic attributes.
Come and join the assessment levels of the great cosmic realm of the universe. This is based on past temporal causes and conditions, which will lead to contending with the Great Heavenly Emperor of Jade for the entire cosmic galaxy. Thus, after entering the nineteenth level of demonic nature, the phenomenon of "biased nature and mindless ignorance" will manifest. This serves the purpose of evolving the demonic levels into the role of the Great Heavenly Demon King.
Then, there will be even greater demonic supernatural powers. If one reaches the twentieth level of mindlessness and naturelessness, even the heavenly realms of the vast universe above will allow these demonic realms to exist within the entire cosmic galaxy. Considering the entire cosmic galaxy, it is too immense, with various different heavenly realms for dwelling.
The stages of planting demonic seeds are divided into different levels.
Thus, for a single Great Heavenly Demon King to presume to control the entire cosmic celestial realm would be sheer overestimation of his own strength! This reveals that the entire cosmic galaxy system is sustained by the Buddha-nature inherent in each galactic system, which encompasses over 360 levels. In contrast, demonic nature possesses merely 20 levels. Relative to this, humanity would naturally look down upon—the causes sown by demonic nature!
In truth, humanity remains entangled in a state of rather defiled and turbid consciousness, one that is both malicious and cruel. This compels all sentient human beings to regress within the Earthly Nebula Star System, where they must once again cultivate and reform themselves. This constitutes the true meaning behind the genuine operation of the great cosmos. It is hoped that all virtuous students of the Chongxin lineage may come to understand and discern this!
Throughout the ages, this has been an absolute truth that resides within the vast cosmos of galaxies. The emergence of reflective consciousness corresponds to the seventeenth level of demonic nature; the arising of clinging consciousness marks the eighteenth level of demonic nature; the consciousness of biased mind and absent awareness signifies the nineteenth level of demonic nature; and the consciousness of no-mind and no-nature represents the twentieth level of demonic nature.
The nature of demonic forces may vary in degree,  
Yet across cosmic galaxies, their workings share a common purpose.
Human beings are ignorant, leaning to one side and difficult to reconcile.
All beings under heaven are imbued with sentiment,  
The boundless grace of the divine knows no limit.
If one cannot truly discern, do not slander and create causes of evil.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it elucidates a sublime cause and condition that has never descended throughout the ages. Through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," everyone can comprehend the transformations of the entire cosmic galaxy and understand the demonic nature within human beings—specifically, the differences between the ninth level and the twentieth level of this demonic nature.
Throughout the ages, if divine teachings have never descended into the human world, how could one comprehend the mysteries within? The realm of the underworld star, where humanity resides, is but a tiny grain of sand in the vast cosmos of the celestial realms. Yet it is filled with the ignorant pursuits of all humankind—what is the reason for this? Thank you all for accompanying this work and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. Until we meet again!
##The Great Cosmos, Star Lord of Water Virtue
The Celestial Venerable of Boundless Dao Perfection arrives,
The essence of the Chongxin lineage must be clearly understood.
The cosmos and celestial realms are vast beyond measure; one must not create negative karma, for it is not right.
Good evening to all Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Zhongdou Star Lord from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the eighteenth chapter of "The Great Dao Universe." This chapter analyzes the distinctions and functions of demonic nature across different levels, allowing all human beings to understand. Among these, the Diming Star System is identified as the most severely tainted.
How can we purify the living space for all human beings? It is often plagued by many disasters: natural calamities, man-made misfortunes, typhoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes. How can we truly have a safe and comfortable living space? This is indeed difficult! It is essential to genuinely cultivate and elevate oneself in order to benefit from the right path and reap great rewards.
Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Tomorrow evening also presents another opportunity to attend the Zen master’s lecture—let’s all come and uncover its treasures! Such moments in time and space do not wait for one to find leisure before they appear anew. Thank you all! Well, that’s all for today. I appreciate your hard work. Until we meet again!
◎ The cause of demonic nature arises from: the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, the manas consciousness, and the alaya consciousness—these eight consciousnesses are entirely identical in their initial stage! The divergence emerges thereafter from:
The First Major Stage of Sowing the Seeds of Demonic Nature
Wanqiao Nongshi: The ninth level of demonic nature.
According to the Illusory Nature of Emptiness Consciousness: This corresponds to the tenth level of demonic nature.
The common realms are utterly devoid of awareness: this constitutes the eleventh level of demonic nature.
The Crown of Transcendence Pervades the Heart-Mind: This is the twelfth level of demonic nature.
The Second Major Stage of Sowing the Seeds of Demonic Nature
Only the contemplation of the exhaustion of consciousness: this is the thirteenth level of demonic nature.
Lizhi Saoshi: The Fourteenth Level of Demonic Nature.
From the moment of consciousness, it is the fifteenth level of demonic nature.
Considered as the highest level of consciousness: the sixteenth level of demonic nature.
The Third Major Stage of Sowing the Seeds of Demonic Nature
The Manifesting and Reflecting Consciousness: It is the seventeenth level of the demonic nature.
The arising of intention gives rise to clinging consciousness: this is the eighteenth level of demonic nature,
By nature, one is biased and lacks insight: this is the nineteenth level of demonic nature.
Without mind, without nature, without consciousness: this is the twentieth level of demonic nature.
##Wuji Yaochi Xiqiong Immortal Maiden
The vast cosmos, the true heavenly realm,
The Golden Virtue Star Lord descends to convene.
The Nineteenth Cycle of the Great Dao Universe:  
The Examination of Demonic Nature and True Suchness.
How can the demonic nature of true suchness assume the role of heaven in conducting assessments?
When sentient beings enter the demonic realm, they will distinguish the ninth through twelfth levels of demonic nature as the first stage of demonic true suchness. From the thirteenth level onward, up to the sixteenth level of demonic nature, it is considered the second stage of demonic true suchness, which already serves as a basis for evaluation by the heavens.
All of these have long transcended the spatial confines of the Daming Star System. If we consider the demonic nature from the seventeenth to the twentieth level as the third stage of the demonic true suchness, how then should we assess this process? In past kalpas, it was far more than just this!
Now, in the current cosmic cycle, the evaluations of the past sixty thousand years reveal that while many among humanity have engaged in cultivation, few have truly ascended. Thus, over the last thirty thousand years of assessment, it can be observed how the Heavens bestow great grace upon all beings of every species. For each individual who earnestly strives to grow and elevate themselves, what boundless favor is granted?
They are bound to face significant trials; however, those who adopt a "muddle through" attitude will not be subjected to such examinations. In this regard, it is because the heavens have long implanted an IC microchip in every living being of each species. What, then, is the function of this IC microchip?
Humans rarely comprehend the demonic origins of the IC microchip.
It is through incorporating all behaviors and actions of various species into one's own conduct, speech, and responses, and responding truthfully and adaptively, that the facilitation by the IC microchip is achieved. This is directed toward all living beings in creation, not merely human beings alone. Therefore, if one seeks to ascend and elevate further, what kind of assessment must one undergo?
If we consider the present era: that is, taking humanity and all living beings as the reference point, then the causes and conditions of past times and spaces can serve as a foundation for all beings to rely upon for upward growth. However, over the past thirty thousand years, all beings of the past have been able to become cultivators progressing toward higher development!
Thus, various methods of cultivation emerged, shaped by the temporal and causal conditions of the past. All living beings in the universe were encompassed, each capable of being elevated through the righteous path. This embodies the compassionate grace of Heaven, which genuinely enables all beings to ascend and grow, thereby bestowing profound benefits upon the myriad forms of life.
Demonic Nature and True Suchness: How then does one conduct evaluations on behalf of Heaven? This kind of verification in the human world is abundant; it is precisely because in past times, among all living beings, those who could attain the Way, become immortals, or achieve sagehood were numerous. Thus, it becomes clear that the causes and conditions of time and space have shifted—this is the evaluation of the past thirty thousand years.
The demonic nature of True Suchness stands in opposition to the Buddha nature of True Suchness.
Taking the human species of the present day as the subject of examination and assessment, it becomes clear that for all living beings of the past to seize the opportunity for upward growth, they must still undergo transformation into the human form to truly and substantively realize such potential. Through this process of divine evaluation and testing, the foundational qualities of all beings can be understood.
Although all living beings in the universe have the potential to ascend and grow, to truly seize the opportunity for upward growth, it is necessary to transform once again into human form, so as to shed the animalistic traits of the past. Thus, the compassionate grace of Heaven lies in using the technological civilization of the present era to advance evolution anew!
And there is one form of rebirth, where one transforms into a human body, without the need to first change into a human lineage before having the opportunity to truly realize the path. For all living beings, if they are reborn into a human lineage, it is because their innate nature remains untainted, making it easier to seize the opportunity for growth and elevation.
If the innate nature has been extinguished, the essence of "the seed cause of demonic nature" will then manifest, inclining towards unwholesome intentions. It can be observed that although sentient human beings possess human bodies, if their innate nature remains unextinguished, they can utilize these human forms to devote themselves to diligent cultivation and growth.
The opportunity for the growth of the demonic nature before the true essence is extinguished.
At such a time when one's innate nature remains untainted, it is relatively easier to seize the opportunity for self-improvement. If, however, one's animalistic tendencies are still dominant, even though most may appear in human form, their beastly nature remains unextinguished. Such individuals are more prone to distinguish and manifest the growth of demonic traits. So, what happens when the majority still retain their untainted innate nature?
It is inevitable that one will ascend and transcend animalistic nature, as such conditions and causes are abundant everywhere. On the other hand, there are sentient beings who, though clad in human form, remain unable to break free from the stirrings of their animalistic instincts in their psyche. Thus, they become myriad living beings who appear human in form but conduct themselves through animalistic behavior.
Human beings can see very clearly and will understand: although this individual possesses the outward appearance of humanity, their inner nature remains driven by animalistic instincts. As for all their actions and behaviors—what are they? They arise from the demonic aspect of true suchness, serving as a necessary trial by heaven. From a human perspective, what form does this take?
Then the animalistic nature will manifest, and for all behaviors and actions, human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend: why does this person exhibit such behaviors and actions? From this, one can understand that although clad in the outer garment of human skin, their behaviors and actions still cannot escape the essence of animalistic nature. Thus, it can be observed that this kind of animalistic nature has not yet been fully purified!
The Demonic Nature of True Suchness: The Great, Medium, and Lesser Heavenly Demon Kings
Therefore, it extends to all actions and behaviors, serving as a model for the human world. Can everyone comprehend the essence of this demonic true nature, its origins, and the sequence of events? Although most people have received education and are aware of the principles of the Three Bonds, Five Constants, Four Virtues, and Eight Virtues in practice.
Furthermore, with regard to such causes and conditions, there is truly no means to genuinely implement these principles. Therefore, it can be understood: in the present era, there exists this very essence of demonic true thusness, manifesting within the human world! Everyone can discern: what exactly is the origin and nature of such demonic forces? They often commit acts that the human world cannot tolerate!
Regarding the assessment of demonic nature, the first stage encompasses levels nine through twelve, which are evaluated within the spatial confines of the Diming Star, using the Lesser Heavenly Demon King as the standard, without leaving the Diming Star system. For demonic nature levels thirteen through sixteen, the assessment is conducted by the Intermediate Heavenly Demon King, indicating the ability to depart from the Diming Star system.
For these lesser celestial demon kings, there is no certification of divine examination to be obtained from the heavens. However, as long as they diligently advance through each level of demonic causation, they will evolve into the essence of intermediate celestial demon kings through their demon offspring. If they reach the seventeenth to twentieth levels of demonic nature, they will ultimately form into great celestial demon kings.
The demonic nature manifests the examination of all living beings through the essence of true suchness.
This condition of cause and effect serves precisely as an opportunity to test all those who seek liberation and enlightenment, thereby enabling them to attain a higher level of spiritual power and strength than ordinary enlightened beings. If one can pass through the twentieth level of the Great Heavenly Demon King, they will no longer regress within the human realm and will truly roam the vast cosmic skies across various galaxies in the universe.
It will manifest all the ignorance and obstacles of the human world, leading to the belief that "attaining Buddhahood" is irreversible. This, in turn, creates a situation in the human world where those who strive to elevate and enhance their "Buddha-nature true suchness" may regress under such circumstances. Conversely, the "demonic-nature true suchness" may also regress.
This type refers to the necessity of relying on the great celestial demon king to grasp and govern the world of celestial demons. This condition is an ancient mystery spanning millions of years, now for the first time descending into the human world as the secret manual of the "Teacher Reference Celestial Book" within the Chongxin Sect lineage. It is also the exclusive "Teacher Training" text possessed solely by the Chongxin Sect lineage.
The true path is tested by its true foundation; without trial, one cannot discern the depth of one's capacity.
If it is said that demonic nature comes to test,  
It is precisely what was remembered in the past.
Sentient beings dwelling in the human realm have long been burdened by the filth they accumulate.
All phenomena, whether Buddha or Mara, are true suchness;  
Distinguishing them marks the phases of growth or decline.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it unveils the mysteries that have never descended into the human world since ancient times, allowing everyone to partake in this extraordinary affinity. Through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," all may comprehend the transformations of the entire cosmic galaxy and the karmic conditions of the "demonic nature" within human beings.
Since ancient times, there has been no descent into the human world. How, then, can one come to understand its mysteries? Humanity, within the space of the Earthly Nether Star, has thus been unable to comprehend the entirety of the cosmic celestial realm. Such were the causes and conditions of the past. Thank you all for accompanying me in this work and for troubling the Chongxin Sect for some time. You have all worked hard. Farewell!
##The Vast Cosmos, Emperor of Fire Virtue
From the Wuji Celestial Pond descends a revered heart,  
The treasure-guarding immortal child has now arrived.
Greetings to all saints, buddhas, and sages,  
Let us join together to spread the divine message.
Good evening to all saints, buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the Golden Virtue Star Lord of the Great Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the nineteenth installment of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos," analyzing the origins and intricacies of the demonic nature and true suchness, as well as a portion of the karmic assessments on behalf of Heaven, to clarify their processes and implications for all.
Why is it that in the present era, the conditions of past times no longer exist? Precisely because all living beings in the universe once had the opportunity to ascend, elevate, and transcend. However, the current era no longer provides such conditions. Therefore, for all beings seeking enlightenment, it remains necessary to possess a human body to avoid transitioning into a more arduous form of existence.
The fundamental essence of animalistic nature still persists and is exceedingly difficult to eradicate. In such times and spaces, there are three hundred billion sentient beings in the underworld who all desire to be reborn into the human world. Therefore, in the future, when witnessing many inhumane behaviors and actions, one should not be overly surprised—this is the evolution of the animalistic nature of all other living beings.
Regarding the fundamental causes and qualities of various human beings, it is precisely due to past karmic retribution that the seeds of cause and effect are implanted in this life, leading to the settling of karmic debts. Such phenomena will become increasingly common in the future of humanity. Therefore, the ancient teaching that "to have good descendants, one must first accumulate virtue" serves as the foundational principle expounded and taught by the Chongxin lineage, which all must adhere to!
Tomorrow is Saturday again, with all guidance and ferry services operating as usual. The day after tomorrow marks the Penitential Dharma Assembly of the Chongxin Sect lineage this month, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of the human world's "Mid-Autumn Festival." Afterward, there must be opportunities for genuine growth, for transcending and elevating oneself—this is the true path! Very well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
The causes for the seeds of demonic nature in the human world arise from: the eyes perceiving forms, the ears hearing sounds, the nose smelling scents, the tongue craving flavors, the body sensing touch, the mind generating thoughts, the manas consciousness, and the distinctions within the alaya consciousness. The seeds of these first eight consciousnesses are entirely identical! Thereafter, the causes diverge, giving rise to:
01. Eye perceives form: this is the first consciousness.  
02. Ear hears sound: this is the second consciousness.
03. The nose smells scents: this is the third consciousness.  
04. The tongue tastes flavors: this is the fourth consciousness.
05. Physical Movement and Touch: The Fifth Consciousness  
06. Mental Arising of Phenomena: The Sixth Consciousness
07. Manas: the seventh consciousness. 08. Alaya: the eighth consciousness.
The first major stage of planting the seeds of demonic nature: The demonic offspring, who are categorized and gathered, are unable to leave the Earthly Abyss star system. They are specifically tasked with assessing ordinary sentient beings with emotions and attachments, as well as practitioners who are devoted to religious faiths.
09. Recognition of the Bridge of Smiles: This is the ninth level of demonic nature.
10. Illusory Nature Emptiness Consciousness: This is the tenth level of demonic nature.
11. The Realm of Utter Ignorance: This is the eleventh level of demonic nature.
12. Crowned Leap and Pervading Mind-Consciousness: The twelfth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is the Minor Demon King: capable of issuing commands and overseeing all demon offspring and descendants within the Earthly Nether Star System.
The second major stage of the demonic nature's causal formation: the Celestial Demon King. Having already transcended the Earthly Nether Star System, it still relies on the assessments of the Supreme Heaven, specializing in evaluating the future religious beliefs of the Earthly Nether Star, and is one who can attain enlightenment.
13. The Sole Contemplation of Exhausting and Consuming Consciousness: This is the thirteenth level of demonic nature.
14. Greed for Profit and Lust for Sensation: This is the fourteenth level of demonic nature.
15. Departing from bias to possess true knowledge: this is the fifteenth level of demonic nature.
16. Vision as the Supreme Knowledge: This is the sixteenth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Central Heaven Demon King, who holds the authority to issue commands both within and beyond the Earthly Nether Star System, and to assess those below the Central Heaven Demon Realm.
The third major stage of the demonic nature planting causes: the Great Heavenly Demon King then possesses the reliance of the Supreme Heaven, specifically examining all various causal conditions and whether those who have transcended and attained enlightenment are fully qualified as the basis for all enlightenment.
17. The Consciousness of Manifestation and Response: This is the seventeenth level of the demonic nature.
18. The Arising of Attachments and Discriminative Consciousness: This is the eighteenth level of demonic nature.
19. Bias in Nature, Absence of Discernment in the Heart: This is the nineteenth level of demonic nature.
20. Mindless and Natureless Consciousness: The twentieth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Great Heavenly Demon King, who can issue commands beyond the Earthly Nether Star System and oversee all actions of those below the Great Heavenly Demon Realm.
##Wuji Yaochi Fengqiong Fairy Maiden
Across the vast cosmos and myriad star systems,  
The Star Lord of Wood Virtue descends to forge a covenant.
The levels of demonic nature differ,  
Yet self-initiated benefit is the fundamental basis.
The nature of demonic seeds varies according to their different levels.
When sentient beings enter the world of conscious existence, the growth of "Buddha-nature and demonic nature" emerges within them. For all living beings, this manifests as a distinct phenomenon, yet in truth, it is shaped entirely by one's own actions. Within the interplay of "the mutual convergence and transformation of Buddha and demon," it is essential to understand: how does one master the dual arts of "convergence" and "transformation"?
Ordinary human beings, as well as religious practitioners in the present era, fundamentally lack the realization brought about by this "qizhuan." It inevitably forms an upward-driving force. Furthermore, when viewed through the lens of "qizhuan," none of the world's religions address this concept; indeed, they may even question how such "qizhuan" could arise.
Thus, one cannot distinguish for all issues: where should one "connect"? And where should one "transform"? If, in the process of the Wuji descending to transform into the Taiji, there must be "connection and transformation" to truly and genuinely comprehend: for all "combinations of connections," that is, one must take "connection" as the principal substance, and then use "transformation" to descend and transform!
This is observed from the perspective of human beings: all the efforts of "Qi Zhuan" (Covenant Transformation)—and in today's entire world, only the Chongxin lineage, through the analysis of the celestial texts in "The Great Dao as One Continuum," can elucidate—how should "Qi" (covenant) be understood? And how should "Zhuan" (transformation) be carried out? Yet the general populace only comprehends: Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji further generates Liangyi (the Two Poles)!
The demonic level is that which has its own self-initiated benefits.
Thus, most sentient beings are generally bewildered by the scriptures, entangled within the descent of the Wuji into the Taiji, and thus unable to separate the two aspects of "Qi Zhuan." To put it in contemporary terms: this is precisely the original substance of engineering principles. This process is also referred to as the four movements of "Qi Zhuan, Zhuan Qi, Hua Zhuan, Zhuan Hua."
If one cannot comprehend the full context and origins, they will inevitably fall into a state of half-understanding, becoming trapped within it and rarely able to break free from its obstacles. Regarding the levels of demonic nature, these are all self-inflicted through one's own actions. Do not assume that demonic nature is inherently an evil entity. However, for sentient beings, if one is born as a human driven by animalistic instincts, what then?
No matter how much you educate them, it remains futile and they remain unmoved! When such bestial nature has not yet been extinguished, though outwardly they appear to be genuine human beings, their inner selves remain incapable of changing the sudden outbursts of animalistic instincts. Therefore, the necessity of educating human beings must sometimes be determined by observing causes and conditions. What will happen if one cannot discern these causal conditions?
I fear that one might often labor in vain for oneself; however, when it comes to the foundation of enlightenment, it cannot be judged merely as fruitless effort. In response to the compassionate grace of Heaven, it is essential to enlighten every being capable of achieving realization. Therefore, even if there is animalistic nature, one should still not distinguish between self and others. Not abandoning those who can be enlightened is the true path!
Originally off by a hair's breadth, in the future it may miss by a thousand miles.
This aligns with the teachings and karmic connections of Heaven, and further reveals that due to varying levels of demonic nature, it can be observed: all perceptions arise from one’s own inherent nature. Therefore, regarding various matters and entities: while everyone sees the same things, differences in perception still emerge, biased by the manifestation of demonic nature.
It is not the same as the phenomena perceived by ordinary sentient beings, which can be understood as arising from different perspectives on a single matter, thereby forming the integration of concepts recognized from different phenomena into one's inherent nature to manifest. As for how I should dissect, revise, or transform these phenomena?
For ordinary sentient beings, this leads to greater cultivation and transformation. However, once demonic nature manifests, all perceptions and understandings differ from those of ordinary sentient beings. Consequently, a tug-of-war arises between Buddha-nature and demonic nature. From the perspective of human sentient beings, all matters originate from preconceived notions.
Even if one has already deviated, the saying "a tiny discrepancy can lead to a vast error" applies to countless individuals. All arise from each person's inherent nature. Under the mutual "alignment and transformation" between Buddha and Mara, how will the entire sequence of events unfold during the "transformation and realignment" back to the source? This forms a subtle principle that is profoundly difficult to grasp!
The level of demonic nature increases only when it benefits oneself.
Regarding this kind of causal condition, most virtuous students within the Chongxin lineage only know its name and form, yet remain unaware of its inner workings. This relates to the process in the "Great Dao as One Continuum," where the Wuji descends to transform into Taiji, and Taiji further descends to differentiate into the Two Modes. This aligns with the causal condition of the present-day "separation and union device." Without this causal condition of "separation, union, and device (or accord)," how could it be possible?
Without this kind of clutch (covenant), there would be no "principles of engineering" as we know them today. Therefore, the heavens have never declared which is good or bad between Buddha and demon—both are left for humanity to analyze and discern, to see clearly the nature of the issues at hand! It can be said: all sentient beings arise from their own inherent nature.
Making a distinction between Buddha and Mara, one fails to realize that one's own body has long possessed the seeds of both "Buddha and Mara"! Consider this: Is it not so? It is not that an external "heavenly Mara" has come to cause trouble, but rather that it arises from each individual's intrinsic nature. To one, Buddha is good; to another, Mara is evil!
For the majority of human beings, over sixty percent manifest their nature through demonic tendencies, while only about forty percent manifest through Buddha-nature. This is based on the consciousness of the majority. If over sixty percent manifest through Buddha-nature, with only about thirty to forty percent otherwise, such a person can be considered a good person.
The demonic nature has twelve distinct levels of causal seeds.
If, on the contrary, it is a case of a bad person, this represents the point at which issues arise for all ordinary human beings; especially when no specific matter has yet manifested, it is generally the case. However, once a matter does arise, more than ninety percent of the time, it is brought to light by demonic nature, and such humans are fundamentally incapable of perceiving it!
One might then perceive it merely as a point of difficulty, making it hard to break through all predicaments. Whether the mind and nature are shaken becomes immediately apparent. As for the self-inflicted harm at the level of demonic nature, such a state makes it difficult for humans to achieve peace of mind. Most will experience significant ripples, leading to inner turmoil that is hard to set aside.
Such conditions of cause and effect can lead to the implantation of demonic seeds, which then invade one's own body. At this point, one remains entirely unaware that these demonic seeds have quietly infiltrated their inner nature. Thus, the question arises: Is human awareness sufficient to confront all levels of demonic influence? Consequently, these influences will continue to grow, layer upon layer, escalating ever higher.
The demonic nature is divided into nine to twenty different levels.
Even oneself would not understand; in fact, this has long been the case for all human beings. When past karmic connections from previous lives are added to this, not even the "confusion of entering the womb" is ever revealed to anyone. Thus, one's demonic nature takes shape and is continuously drawn upon in the human world, remaining utterly undetectable.
This kind of demonic nature is largely the accumulation of negative habits from past lives. I ask everyone: do you currently possess such habits? There are far too many! Each person, to a greater or lesser extent, has undesirable traits: personality flaws, bad habits, and ingrained tendencies. Yet we often forgive ourselves while scrutinizing others through a "magnifying glass."
Therefore, every sentient being is prone to developing these undesirable traits: habits, tendencies, innate dispositions, demonic nature, and an unyielding, stubborn character. All of these are invariably self-forgiven. Do not assume that the analysis by the celestial Buddhas and teachers—regarding demonic nature, habits, innate dispositions, tendencies, and the stubborn character—is without profound significance.
The origin and style of writing a book will all be subject to analysis.
Regarding the temporal and circumstantial conditions under which the book was written, they have indeed passed by swiftly. Let us all reflect carefully: Is this not the case? Most sentient beings are capable of forgiving themselves, yet they cannot forgive others. "Within the Buddha-nature lies demonic nature, and within the demonic nature, the Buddha-nature manifests." Let us all reflect again: Is this not so?
If this is the case, is it possible to return to the "Void-Treasure Pure Land World" in the future? If you can return to the "Lotus Buddha Land" pure land of the 21st century, it would already be a considerable act of kindness toward you. Moreover, if you repeatedly indulge in unpleasant and foul behavior, even after decades of involvement in religion, you have shown not the slightest change!
You have come to revere the lineage of the Heart Sect. Is it not so that one must strive for a lifetime to "transcend, return, fulfill, and surpass"? Yet, if you incorporate these negative habits and demonic seeds into your own being, can you truly pass the trials of the "Great, Medium, and Lesser Heavenly Demon Kings"? Reflect deeply on this! We shall meet again next time!
Demonic levels vary in kind,  
All human beings are entwined.
Unaware that one's nature is thus,  
The first test is passed in connection.
All sentient beings arise in manifestation,  
Each kind connected to the nature of both Buddha and demon.
Unable to comprehend the causes through the ages,  
Different natures are fundamentally inherent.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings. It thoroughly analyzes the primary causes and conditions, initiated by oneself, that have given rise to the layers of demonic nature accumulated since ancient times. These very factors truthfully obstruct all one's efforts for elevation and transcendence, while also presenting a "test" for everyone—to examine whether the manifestation of "demonic nature" will arise within their own being.
Then, "Great, Medium, and Lesser Heavenly Demons" along with "demon offspring and descendants" will join their ranks. This kind of analysis, which has never been bestowed as a supreme cause and condition, serves as a distinct assessment for everyone within the spatial realm of the Earthly Obscure Star, as well as for those transcending the spatial realms of the cosmic star systems! Very well, thank you all for accompanying this work and troubling the Chongxin Sect for a while. Farewell, everyone!
## Universe Great Sphere, Star Lord of Earthly Virtue
Upon the Jasper Terrace of the Wuji, the Lingbao ascends,  
Where immortal youths gather with all divine beings.
May all be auspicious and well,  
The work's content virtuous and true in its intent.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Wood Virtue Star Lord of the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the twentieth installment of "The Great Dao and the Cosmos." From the original causes and conditions of the demonic nature levels benefiting themselves, we gradually approach the core of everyone's being, and slowly come to understand the mysteries within.
Regarding the origins and intricacies of all matters, how are they to be understood? The analysis conducted over millennia aims to clarify the distinctions among all "levels of demonic nature." For the most part, these arise from one's own actions and benefits. As for how the "duality of Buddha and demon" transforms and interacts? One must align with the Buddha-nature, and likewise, transform the demonic nature.
This profound celestial mystery is difficult for most to comprehend; we shall await the next occasion, when the Water Virtue Star Lord will analyze it further! Offering everyone an opportunity for genuine growth, such conditions of affinity represent the most sublime karmic connection within the Chongxin lineage. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone will join together to learn and grow!
By advancing towards greater elevation and transcendence, one will receive greater benefits and merits. It is essential to genuinely strive for self-improvement and growth upward, for only then can one truly benefit in the right way and reap substantial rewards. Let us all come and dig for treasures! Time and space will not wait for you to find the time later, nor will they endlessly await humanity and all beings. Well, that is all for today. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!
## Wuji Zhongtan Yuanshuai
The vast cosmos reaches the true celestial horizon; the Star Lord of Water Virtue descends in due time.
The Great Dao Universe, Chapter Twenty-One: The Ground of Skill Where Demonic Nature Transforms
Mastery of demonic pacts requires profound skill.
When sentient beings orient themselves towards survival, they will inevitably align with and transform between the states of Buddha and Mara. Sentient human beings fundamentally lack this understanding, which has led religious scriptures to teach future generations in this manner. However, according to the true teachings, this is not the case. Such a deviation, though minute, can lead to errors of a thousand miles.
Why has this doctrine, from ancient times to the present, never brought about the "transformation of demonic nature"? To thoroughly comprehend the transformation of Buddha-nature, one must possess both a genuine understanding and take real action regarding how to achieve "transformation" between the "duality of Buddha and demon." Only then can the effect of "mutual transformation between Buddha and demon in both directions" be manifested.
If an ordinary practitioner does not understand this concept, should it still be practiced as it is? This will persistently raise the question: How should I transform and align the Buddha and the demon? From this, it becomes clear that within this "transformation and alignment," it is the Wuji that descends into the Taiji. One must realize that this descent occurs directly from the Wuji into the Taiji.
This pertains to all concepts in the human world, which are not practiced according to the true meaning. Hence, while many believe in religion, few are qualified to ascend and transcend. Under such conditions and circumstances, how can humanity realize the true meaning of "the mutual transformation of Buddha and Mara" and truly embody the "transformation between Buddha and Mara"?
The Original Cause and Essence of the Demonic Covenant's Transformation
This type of "union" takes the dual-combined form as the primary practice within the original essence of "merging," which is akin to oneness. Meanwhile, "transformation" refers to the process of descending and departing. All "engineering principles" in the human world operate precisely in this manner, regardless of distinctions in technological civilization, and still rely on "union, transformation, and departure" as fundamental units.
It is also truthfully stated that "confluence" is the essence, while "divergence" is the object of descent, conditions that humanity fundamentally cannot comprehend. Why, in the descent from the Wuji to the Taiji, must there be "confluence and divergence"? Most human beings lack even the concept of such causes and conditions, so how can they truly ascend and transcend?
When the primal contract reverts to its original essence, it is through the descent of the Wuji into the Taiji that the two polarities (Liang Yi) emerge. If one holds such a view, it would be a grave misconception. Moreover, for thousands of years, Daoism has not elucidated this truth accurately. How then should we understand the ancient concepts of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements? If one can comprehend the descent of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements on their own.
It is only through the descent from the Wuji to generate the Two Modes, and then further descending into the Taiji, that the true path is realized! Humanity and all beings, guided by the concepts presented in the classics, cannot break free from the framework of this reality. Within this process, after the Wuji descends to form the Two Modes, there exists a corresponding embodiment of the Wuji. Thus, to seek liberation, the necessity of "transformation through correspondence" must be acknowledged.
The demonic covenant is essential to the duality of yin and yang.
If there is no "affinity transformation," meaning there is no fundamental driving force, then why would there be a departure after such transformation? This implies that separation is achieved through "transformation." If there is no separation, one remains unmoved within the "affinity transformation," which is the true nature of reality. How, then, does this causality affect sentient beings among humanity? Can this be understood?
It is clearly elucidated in the celestial scriptures of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones (the cosmos), rather than being expounded through past karmic causes. It pertains to the descent of the Wuji into the two polarities (interaction and transformation), which gives rise to the duality of Taiji’s yin and yang. From this, distinctions are further drawn into three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten.
If this type were to grow in multiples, it should follow the sequence: two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, sixty-four, one hundred twenty-eight, two hundred fifty-six, which continues downward until the numbers are exhausted. Thus, it forms the pattern: if the Wuji descends into Taiji, it lacks the true skill of "agreement-transformation and transformation, transformation-turning and returning to agreement."
For the first time in countless millennia, this is being analyzed within the human realm. Many may consider it of little relevance, but from the perspective of cultivation energy, the difference in attainment is vast. Such conditions of karma should be carried out step by step—this is the true path and the practical foundation upon which to build.
Demonic Covenant Reversal is the primordial essence of the highest order.
However, the benchmark set by the whole is the true foundation for a genuine return and ascent; otherwise, how could all human beings ever return to transcendence? If one attempts to "have the Taiji return directly to Wuji," it is fundamentally impossible! It would be as if, at the final critical moment, one were inevitably blocked.
It is only by returning to the origin within the Wuji causality that one can be considered on the right path! If one relies on the "skill of affinity transformation," it does not distinguish between the nature of Buddha and demon; even sentient beings with emotions may become deeply skilled in this practice. It is essential to have a truthful understanding and to transform this principle into the fundamental condition for all future achievements and the ultimate return.
Without this fundamental "harmonious union through resonance and transformation," sentient beings, regardless of how profound their cultivation may be, will remain confined outside the gate. This "resonance" is a genuine harmony—it begins with "resonant alignment" and proceeds with authentic action toward "transformation and departure." Ordinary individuals often end up knowing only half of the truth forever!
Even the most profound skills can become stagnant; in contrast, the foundations of humanity have long since shifted greatly from the teachings of past classics and the present era. Especially regarding the principles taught by ancient civilizations, most no longer align with the impressions of past cosmic cycles. This has formed a condition in which humanity remains in the mundane world, unable to return to a more authentic state of origin.
The transformation of the nature of Buddhahood and demonhood through the planting and fulfillment of causes is essential.
Therefore, it is essential to achieve a mutual "transformation and alignment" with the "nature of Buddha and demon," genuinely dissolving many contradictions and delusions in the human world. It is for this reason that the Chongxin lineage can truly descend to enlighten, addressing the principles of ancient civilization and technology, rather than merely relying on belief in supernatural powers. In the context of past eras, such an approach was indeed understandable.
However, given the technological civilization of the present era, if we persist in viewing it solely from past perspectives, genuine progress will be exceedingly difficult to achieve. This is precisely why the compassionate grace of Heaven descends to enlighten us, emphasizing the necessity for all civilizations and technologies. It is by making the scientific evolution of all future humanity its fundamental condition that such progress becomes possible!
It is also about fostering growth in the interactions among all sentient beings with love and compassion. Whether in the tangible world or the intangible realm, mutual support can harmonize yin and yang for the benefit of both. Only then can those who enter religion truly achieve "cultivation through hidden virtues" and ascend to higher realms. Such an opportune cause and condition is rarely encountered and must be cherished deeply.
Buddhas and demons alike must align and transform,  
From the Limitless descends to nurture the two poles.
There is a return to the original root;  
Before departing, the fundamental origin is restored.
Establishing truth as the foundation, the principle of human engineering.
The contract is transferred to descend and transform among humanity,  
Breaking free from the celestial origins to descend into the mortal realm.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: the practice of "transforming both Buddha and demon through agreement" in reality requires profound skill to truly attain. It involves making early adjustments in accordance with the compassionate grace of Heaven, addressing contradictions previously unexamined in Taoist teachings, so that all may ascend with goodness and avoid greater ignorance upon their return.
It is essential to keep this in mind, and not to regret when the time comes, having failed to truly implement it in the human world. This profound mystery of heavenly opportunity and good affinity has, since ancient times, never been disseminated to the human realm. Now, for the first time, it is brought forth for everyone to study together. I appreciate your hard work in accompanying this writing and troubling the Chongxin lineage for some time. Farewell!
##The Vast Cosmos, the Star Lord Doumu
From the Wuji Celestial Pond descends a revered heart,  
Joyful Jade Maidens bring forth virtue and fresh intent.
The universe and the great Dao are all profound mysteries,  
Truthfully analyzed, they reveal the causes of ages past.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Lord of Water Virtue Star from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the twenty-first chapter of "The Great Dao Universe," analyzing the profound skill of transforming the pacts between Buddhas and demons. This will help everyone understand how to ascend and grow in the brief moment before returning to the origin in the future.
Will one wander in the vast celestial realm of the universe, or within the spaces of the dark stars of the earth? This is the final step of cultivation, a concept that can bring endless benefits to all. Such conditions of karma are precisely why the Chongxin lineage has publicly revealed this celestial opportunity and good affinity, allowing you to first grasp this concept.
Only then can we avoid the situation of "regretting too little when the time comes to use it." Do not say you will not encounter such conditions of cause and circumstance—in the future, you will come to understand. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. Tomorrow evening, there will also be a Chan master giving a lecture. Let us all come and dig for treasures! Grant yourselves the implementation of many new concepts, which will also benefit and reward you. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Limitless Skillful Sage Principle-Contemplating Guanyin Bodhisattva
The vast cosmos, a true heaven and earth,  
The Fire Virtue Star Lord descends in auspicious presence.
The Great Dao of the universe transmits the Three Pure Ones,  
The integral operation reveals the true meaning.
The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones, through cause and condition, align in union and separation.
Sentient beings, upon entering the transformation between Buddha and demon, are unable to comprehend the truth: the Limitless descends into the Two Polarities, and further descends into the Supreme Ultimate. For thousands of years, this has never been clearly expounded within Daoism. For all genuine practitioners, at the very moment they are destined to return, they will inevitably encounter many bottlenecks.
Nor is there any way to truly return to the Wuji Immortal Realm. From this, one can understand why, over these thousands of years, there has never been a descent into the human world. Extending this perspective to the cosmic celestial realms of the Great Dao's Three Purities: the human world is exceedingly impure, and for sentient beings among humanity, it serves as an obstacle to ascension.
Furthermore, it becomes impossible to follow the path of returning directly from the Supreme Ultimate to the Ultimate Void. This is precisely because, from the perspective of the "Cosmic Celestial Realm of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao," every celestial body within this vast cosmic realm is identical. But how would it appear to the sentient beings of the Earthly Nether Star? This is even more obscured by ignorance!
Thus, there arose a rather impure "seed of demonic nature," as well as a rather pure "seed of Buddha-nature," forming a phenomenon that human beings cannot comprehend: why is there in the Earthly Nether Star System a kind of mutual opposition, as well as limitations and obstacles? For sentient human beings, they are thus situated at this critical juncture!
Sentient beings descend from the Wuji into the Taiji.
Moreover, there has been a persistent inability to break through, which has led to the human world becoming a realm of existence characterized by a rather helpless orientation! This karma has caused sentient beings to dwell continuously within the polluted space of the dark star, becoming deeply tainted. Over time, they have grown accustomed to it, and in turn, become numb to it.
The "alignment and departure" of the Three Pure Ones in the Great Dao: this condition, in the context of the Wuji descending and further descending into the two polarities, is precisely a state without color or opposition. In facilitating the interaction between the two, there arises the question: before the Wuji descends, is it in a state called alignment? Before this alignment departs, it is necessary to have a distinction between two entities.
Talent facilitates the formation of a harmonious unity with a certain entity. This harmony and its subsequent separation must be understood as being driven by the function of zero (spirit). It necessitates the division of the two polarities, and at the moment of separation, it is only through two distinct combinations that such separation can occur. This is because, prior to separation, harmony must serve as the central point.
Thus, only by desiring to depart can one facilitate the act of separation, which entails a readiness to part ways. If, before the Limitless (Wuji) is to separate, it must first be composed of the Two Modes (Liangyi); at this stage, there is still no distinction of color, nor is there a differentiation between the two aspects of yin and yang. It is within the Two Modes, through their union, that separation arises. This form of separation represents a function that predates even the interplay of yin and yang within the Supreme Ultimate (Taiji).
From the Wuji descends the two polarities, and from them descends the Taiji.
Regarding all functional entities, and consequently for the original nature of alignment and departure, whether alignment has already occurred and then departure follows—this spatiotemporal causality has not yet entered the realm of Taiji Yin-Yang. It is precisely through the moments of alignment and departure that departure can be subsequently transformed, thereby facilitating the initial interaction of the two polarities before the emergence of Yin-Yang Taiji.
If there were no prior action of the Two Modes, there would be no original substance of the Supreme Ultimate and Yin-Yang. However, only after the processes of separation and transformation do we come to understand that the "Two Modes" are formed through the separation of two combined elements. The very cause of this transformation lies in this principle. Thus, before the formation of the Supreme Ultimate and Yin-Yang, there emerges an inspiration for all functional benefits.
Before such causes and conditions, the functions of Taiji and Yin-Yang are also formed. Thus, only by transcending the two polarities can one return to the original foundation of Taiji. This is the fundamental essence that has never been fully elucidated in Daoism throughout the ages. It is essential to understand: it is precisely from Wuji that the two polarities emerge, and from the two polarities, Taiji arises, thereby giving birth to the Yin-Yang combination within the spatial realm of the earthly underworld and stars!
This is a reinterpretation from the perspective of the human world, clarifying the fundamental reasons why the "Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao" have never descended throughout the ages. It elucidates how this forms the foundation for the teacher training within the "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association," thereby unveiling the mysteries that have persisted for millennia and thoroughly analyzing these points of contradiction and obstruction.
The fundamental principles of the universe, the mysteries of heaven and earth.
Ensure that everyone has access to firsthand information. Otherwise, if the teachings are disseminated solely based on the records in the "Great Dao Yiguan Celestial Book," I ask you all: can everyone truly comprehend them? Without a genuine understanding of the underlying concepts, it would result in seeing without understanding, and failing to grasp the truth as it is. This is akin to the transformation from the Wuji (the Primordial Chaos, symbolized by ○) into Liangyi (the Two Polarities), which must be harmonized accordingly.
Turning away from one direction aligns with the boundless compassion and virtuous grace of Heaven. This is precisely the process by which the primordial Wuji descends to manifest as Liangyi, and further descends into Taiji. Indeed, it is so! This also unveils the foundational principles behind the origins of today’s technological civilization, which has endured through the ages. For all technological advancements, there exists a profound engineering principle that serves as the initiating force for all human endeavors in the world.
This condition means that all practices in the human world, including the principles of all technological civilizations, follow the same pattern. Within the transformation of the Wuji into the two polarities, there is a further differentiation: alignment and divergence. In accordance with the differential nature of "alignment and divergence," alignment remains unchanged. Thus, before any transformation can occur, there must first be an act of divergence.
The Celestial Book of the Great Dao has long provided the true answer.
Only then can there be an entity of action that peels away layers, a perplexity that has persisted since ancient times. This is why the Dadao True Buddha Heart Religion, through the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," descends to the human world, forming a state for sentient beings both before and after this descent. Why, then, does it differ from what Daoism described in the past: the Wuji descending into the Taiji as its original essence!
Between these lies the function of the Two Modes. This has been a longstanding mystery since ancient times. Let us bring it forth once more, allowing everyone to carefully contemplate all the principles within. Is it truly so? It is not that from the formless Wuji directly descends into the Taiji of Yin and Yang. Rather, within the Two Modes, there is no longer discrimination of color or difference; it is only after Taiji that Yin and Yang emerge!
That is to say, both black and white, as represented by the conditions of day and night, can be understood through the analysis provided today by the immortal Buddhas and teachers. It is the proper function of aligning with and departing from the righteous path in all worldly matters that, before one can return, must be followed step by step in an orderly manner. Only by ascending back to the Wuji Heavenly Principle is the true path! Otherwise, if one remains bound by past delusions and misconceptions, what can be done? All would be in error!
The foundation lies in the separation and union; within the harmony, the root is originally present.
The Great Dao, unified by the Three Purities,  
Descends to transform the world with profound depth.
The union of opposites aligns with the original, true cycle;  
The Limitless descends to transform through the dual forces.
Not as the descent to the Great Ultimate's accord,  
Thus are delusions and obstacles compelled.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings; it once again guides the worldly views and practices that have persisted through the ages back onto the righteous path. Only through such righteousness can true understanding be realized. For those who genuinely aspire to cultivate and practice with sincerity, it serves as a wake-up call, dispelling the delusions that have clouded minds for millennia.
To ensure everyone fully understands the entire context and the sequence of events, this will bring genuine rewards and benefits to all teachers and trainees! Thank you all for accompanying the creation of this work. The lineage of Chongxin Sect is no longer practiced as it was in the past; it has now evolved into a more integrated entity that illuminates the truth, which is also a fundamentally correct alignment. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
Esteemed students: The instruction you are receiving is no longer just the ordinary curriculum; rather, it has already entered the realm of "the teachings of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." Regarding these high-level principles of knowledge, do you all comprehend them? Only then can you achieve greater growth and transcendence, allowing yourselves to benefit throughout your entire lifetime.
##Cosmic Vastness, Lord of the Solar Star
From the Wuji Celestial Pond descends a revered heart,  
The Phoenix Jade Maiden's virtue and intent are renewed.
Unveiling the ancient mysteries of the ages,  
Shattering the illuminating nature of the Three Pure Teachings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Fire Virtue Star Lord from the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the twenty-second chapter of "The Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao Universe." This chapter will also analyze the "alignment and separation" of the Three Pure Ones. It is believed that everyone can dispel all the confusions and obstacles accumulated over the past decade or so.
It also provides everyone with a genuine opportunity to return to the future: the Primal Heaven of the Ultimate Principle, offering a solid and truthful foundation for the righteous path. This has never been bestowed throughout the ages, and it removes all delusions and obstacles in the human world. Everyone can feel it—how does this mysterious principle work? It must be cherished dearly!
Changlu inquired: In the past, the causes and conditions across time and space have always been explained as: Wuji gives birth to Taiji, and Taiji then gives birth to the Two Forms (Liangyi). Now, the enlightened teachers and Buddhas further analyze: Wuji gives birth to the Two Forms, which then give rise to Taiji. How can such apparent contradictions be explained to sentient beings? Which principle represents the true meaning, and how should this be interpreted?
The Immortals and Buddhas respond: There is no need for explanation at all. Those who are receptive will understand; for those who are not, any attempt to inform or explain is in vain! By carefully discerning the essence of what the Immortal and Buddha teachers have composed today, one can dispel all doubts. This has already been explained quite clearly in "The Unity of the Great Dao," but today it is simply analyzed more thoroughly.
Just as Confucius taught two thousand years ago that one should follow the Middle Way, two thousand years later, the Chongxin lineage elucidates the principle of "entering the Middle Way and transcending the Middle Way" in the same spirit. Can you grasp this? Thank you all for your efforts. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I also hope everyone can come together to learn and grow—growth that benefits both oneself and others.
Esteemed students: The teachings you are now receiving for your advancement are no longer ordinary instructional courses; indeed, they have entered the realm of "the guidance of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas." Regarding this high-level knowledge education, I hope everyone can comprehend it clearly, so that you may achieve greater growth and transcendence. That is all for today. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!

The Great Cosmos descends with auspicious signs,  
The Virtuous Star of Earth bestows its bounteous grace.
The Three Purities of the Great Dao in Twenty-Three Cycles  
The Foundation Lies in Cultivating Virtue as the Original Intent
The unity of Dao and its origin forms the foundation of the Three Pure Ones.
When human beings enter the spatial realm of the Diming star system, they will manifest in response to all phenomena, distinguishing between the "mutual transformation of the Buddha-nature and demon-nature." In relation to the vast cosmos, they can comprehend the necessity of the "unification of the primordial Dao," and also realize all "essences of the Dao," which are enacted in accordance with the universal laws of the cosmos.
It is precisely the function of forming the "Unity of Dao Origin" that also employs the "Foundation of the Three Purities" for practice. In relation to the consistency of the entire universe, this "Unity of Dao Origin" is upheld through the Foundation of the Three Purities. Over billions of years, it has continuously descended and transformed the entire space of the Earthly Nether Star. What, then, would be the outcome if we were to apply the "Unity of Dao Origin and the Foundation of the Three Purities"?
It allows sentient beings of humanity to rely upon it, resulting in significant differences throughout all practices. One may observe that within each cosmic cycle, various forms manifest to bring comfort to human beings. This process began with the first cosmic cycle, continued through the second, and now enters the present third cosmic cycle of time and space. Such temporal and spatial conception is profoundly vast.
This refers to distinguishing the vast celestial realms of the entire cosmic galaxy system, in order to navigate within the space of the Earthly Nether Star. When journeying through extraterrestrial galaxies, most beings already possess considerable and powerful supernatural abilities. Moreover, in relation to past temporal and spatial karmic connections, they do not exhibit the technological civilization that has emerged in the present era.
Human beings are fundamentally incapable of comprehending this kind of mystery.
Moreover, why do human beings exhibit such significant differences within this cosmic cycle? It can be observed that the implementation of this "Primordial Unity of the Dao" is not merely a matter of a few thousand years. In fact, it was already manifested and upheld with great clarity during the early stages of the first cosmic cycle.
However, in ancient times, there was no so-called "Unity of Dao and Origin." All human reliance in this world, for the multitude of beings existing within such a space, was not manifested through various religions. Instead, there was a highly advanced civilization and technology that facilitated elevation, enabling all living beings to achieve good growth and benefit.
The unity of the primordial Dao is rooted in the Three Purities—from the perspective of humanity and all living beings, this is not based on the present era. Rather, after the second cosmic cycle, yin and yang emerged in mutual opposition. If we speak of the first cosmic cycle, there was no so-called mutual opposition between yin and yang. Thus, it can be understood that the unity of the primordial Dao is founded upon the Three Purities.
It is precisely this reality that allows all modes of existence within this Earth-Ming star system to engage in greater mutual interaction. Originally, during the first cosmic cycle, there was no spacetime characterized by "yin-yang opposition." Therefore, it was only after the second cosmic cycle that the Earth-Ming star system formed the Moon-Chen star, which was then drawn into proximity with Earth-Ming.
In the first primordial cycle, there were no moon, planets, or stars.
And it transforms into a mutual illumination with the stars of the same day, while also existing in a state of mutual opposition. Scientists of the present era have verified and believe that the spacetime of the Earthly Obscure Star spans only 4.6 billion years. Little do they know that, within the first cosmic cycle of 6.4 billion years, there lies a difference of 1.8 billion years. How, then, would all the unfolding events transpire?
From this arises the manifestation, which is precisely a planetary body devoid of mutual opposition. This kind of cause and condition can be understood: what contemporary human scientists have verified is that there is no first primordial kalpa. Throughout these 1.8 billion years, all that has formed humanity merely follows the past karmic actions of sentient beings.
In the span of 1.8 billion years, all causes and effects that shape existence have been cast into the human world, forming within this 4.6-billion-year continuum of time and space. Here, all living beings and myriad things continually emerge and undergo cycles of reincarnation, while past causes and effects are embedded into the present era to be repaid as retribution and consequence.
In such a time and space, human beings are unable to fully comprehend it. All causes and effects stem from past times, giving rise to the causes and effects of the present era. All of this follows a pattern, where all living beings exist within a framework of mutual limitations and interactions. This is the karmic relationship of time and space shaped by all the limitations and interactions within the human world.
Second, the third cosmic cycle gives rise to the moon, the celestial bodies, and the stars.
How should the principle of "the unity of Dao's origin and the foundation of the Three Purities" be implemented? In my current situation, how should I discern and seize such an opportunity? That is to say, only by grounding ourselves in the human world can we truly uphold the "unity of Dao's origin" within the foundation of the Three Purities, thereby bringing great benefit to all living beings!
In the cosmic celestial realm of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones, it can be understood that the implementation of the "Unity of the Dao's Origin" commenced under the conditions of the Second Kalpa and has been upheld through a vast span of time and karmic connections. How are the sentient beings of humanity to resolve and fully settle all past causes and effects? It is precisely through the implementation of the "Unity of the Dao's Origin"!
For all actions taken in the past Second Kalpa and Third Kalpa, regardless of what humanity did in past times and spaces, the current generation will absolutely not escape the "recompense and retribution" of cause, condition, and effect! This serves as the actual evidential basis for practices carried out within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star.
It forms a space of "reward and retribution" that is quite complete for the human world. Thus, whether it is the process of good rewards or undesirable retribution, all manifest in the current era based on each individual's karma. Therefore, the heavens are absolutely just and equal toward all sentient beings.
Thus came into being all mutual interactions and every cause and effect.
Nor will it interfere with the retribution and consequences of each individual's karma and deeds. This is the function based on the human perspective. Can one comprehend all the ins and outs of how this works? It is indeed extremely difficult! That is to say, the karma from the past, in the present time and space, is projected into the various cosmic cycles, where it is either claimed or repaid.
On the premise of repaying kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance, regarding the repayment of kindness: this is naturally one of the things human beings most delight in. If it is retribution and vengeance that come, it is also essential to greatly reduce the killings involved in such retribution! Each individual can embody and practice this, bringing past causes and effects into the present era.
As the ultimate resolution of all matters, there is also a necessity to facilitate the transformation for all living beings. This is precisely through the compassionate grace of Heaven, which responds to and resolves the karmic causes and effects of various cosmic cycles, thereby genuinely clearing away all past entanglements of gratitude and grievances. This serves as the means for complete settlement.
All sentient beings with affection, throughout their countless lifetimes, have been blessed in this present era by the compassionate grace of Heaven, allowing all souls and living beings to be reborn into the life of the Earthly Star Realm. By upholding the principles of "the Unity of the Dao's Origin and the Foundation of the Three Purities," all past karma and causes are fully resolved and purified!
The standard of Daoist unity is established,  
The foundation of the Three Purities is true and genuine.
Providing for all beings and living things,
To fully resolve the accumulated karmic cycles across lifetimes.
Sentient beings, such is the cause;  
The teachings of the Three Purities respond with true suchness.
Thus there is a favorable outcome for the virtuous,  
Transforming and turning back to the original cause of the Way.
This verse! It is mutually encouraged among all sentient beings; it analyzes all that exists in the human world according to the second cycle of the Great Dao's Three Purities. How, then, is the "Unity of the Dao's Origin" to be practiced? That is to say, starting from the past Second Kalpa, there emerged a true method of calculation, enabling sentient human beings to comprehend the entire sequence of events, can they not?
Regarding the vast and profound grace of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones, what more can be said! It is precisely through the "Unity of the Dao's Origin" that this principle has always permeated every moment across all times and spaces, and has genuinely served to resolve all karmic obstacles and afflictions. Thank you all for accompanying and contributing to this work, and for your time and dedication to the Chongxin lineage. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. Farewell for now!
##The Vast Cosmos, the Lunar Sovereign
The Marshal of the Central Altar of Wuji,  
Originally both ancient and adorable.
Everyone says the same thing—  
How comfortable it is to save one’s own face.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, it is the Universal Earth-Virtue Star Lord who descends to compose the twenty-third chapter of "The Great Dao and the Three Purities." This aligns most fittingly with the auspicious karmic conditions, allowing us to analyze and understand how the "Unity of the Dao's Origin and the Foundation of the Three Purities" truly manifests!
It is also a true embodiment of the cause and condition of "the transformation between Buddha and Mara," emerging from the process of "alignment and departure." This is precisely based on all standards of conduct in the human world, without distinguishing between the differences of "the realm of Buddha-nature" and "the realm of Mara-nature." Both are recognized by the vast cosmos as all living beings of the myriad things. Hence it is said: What is the true path? And what is not the true path?
From the perspective of human factors, this framework also represents an obstacle to the practice of all sentient beings. Such opposition ceases to exist beyond Earth, as it is a condition unique to the human world. I hope everyone will keep this in mind. Tomorrow is Saturday, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Let us come together to learn and grow!
The Great Dao Cosmic Tome has already begun to compose the Three Purities of the Great Dao. The entire process is verified through the dimensions of time and space; it is the true path only when one refrains from viewing it from personal perspectives. In the various times and spaces of the human world, they will not wait for you to find time to understand, nor will they wait for humanity. Having reached this point today, I appreciate everyone's hard work. Farewell!
##Limitless White Sage Li Guanyin Bodhisattva
The Great Primordial Mother of the Dipper descends from the cosmos;  
The Star Lords bestow grace with compassionate intent.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, in twenty-four cycles;  
The Three Pure Auras spread throughout the cosmos.
The original nature where the Three Pure Ones share the same root of qi and vessel.
Among the numerous star systems of the vast cosmos, there exist gases of different types of qi. For humanity and all living beings, these are merely considered as breathable air within the space of the Earthly Obscure Star. Little do they realize that beyond the entirety of the cosmic star systems, there are various forms of qi, which in turn serve as the fundamental source of all celestial bodies and interstellar phenomena.
Simultaneously, the cosmic galaxies are implanted into the qi energy of various galactic bodies. Hence, for all living beings across the myriad realms, regardless of any specific galactic body, this remains the present reality. Serving as the source of all qi energy, it is precisely in this manner that the entire origin and trajectory of qi energy can be discerned, thereby enabling a clear understanding of the overall state of all conditions.
This process of brewing the Qi of the Three Purities also shapes the cosmic expanse of the universe, created by all energy entities. Furthermore, within the Earthly Nether Star System, only one type of Qi is used for respiration. This condition arises from the integration of the Five Elements into each star system, giving rise to diverse transformations. Consequently, it inevitably manifests through the creations of various star systems.
It is also due to the original primordial energy substance that, when integrated into various star systems, produces a relatively favorable energy atmosphere. Because this energy atmosphere emerges among the stars, it transforms and gives rise to all sentient beings, allowing them to inhabit different star systems. Therefore, the original essence of this energy serves to draw in and absorb each celestial body.
The Primordial Qi substance and all forms of Qi energy share the same origin.
At the same time, it also generates an absorptive function towards all living beings and myriad things. This necessity arises from observing all beings as its reference point, and it is precisely through such actions that the various sources of the Three Pure Qi come into being. Consequently, this forms the existence of Qi within the various star systems of the great cosmos, thereby differentiating into distinct Five Elemental bodies.
This form of the Five Elements entity distinguishes itself from the star systems of the east, west, south, north, and center, forming star systems with relatively similar Qi energies. The Qi that constitutes them originates from the Primordial One Qi, the Chaos Origin Qi, the Great Dao Qi, and many other Qi entities. These serve as varied compositions for sentient human beings, giving rise to the operation of countless stars and celestial bodies.
Only when sentient beings come to understand can they, within the operation of the entire cosmic galaxy, incorporate this vital energy into the absorption by all living creatures. This absorption function is formed precisely by relying on the myriad stars and celestial bodies as its foundation. It is under such conditions of cause and effect that all living beings can truly receive beneficial nourishment.
The Three Pure Qi and the Cosmic Vessel—through the operation of the cosmic star systems, it can be understood: in the daily lives of human beings, if measured by the temporal cycles of the Earthly Nether Star's spatial rotation, which differ by nearly ten billion years, can there be greater evolution? In truth, for the Earthly Nether Star System, this remains to be observed!
The understanding of human beings is made clear.
The so-called "Three Pure Qi Entities" in the human world precisely encompass the outer periphery of the entire Diming Star as well. Moreover, the qi entities operating within the overall Diming Star system are fused through the "Three Pure Qi Entities." How, then, do these circulations of the Three Pure Qi operate as they depart from the space of Diming Star?
The outer realm is in a "state of vacuum," while the Earthly Nether Star exists in a "state of solid emptiness." The original foundation of the primordial energy in both is the same. However, in terms of operation, as understood by sentient beings in the past, it was believed that the Earthly Nether Star remains motionless. This long-standing concept of knowledge has been deeply ingrained in the human mind for millennia.
However, if we use the technological advancements of the past century to unveil the mysteries of the entire universe, we can understand that the Earth-Moon system not only follows the clockwise rotation but also orbits the Sun-star system! Thus, within the "state of actual space," the breathing energy of humanity arises, and it is through the Sun-star system, which remains "stationary and unmoving"!
Furthermore, within the space of the Earthly Obscure Star, as it revolves with the movement of the Sun-Star, there exist various units for measuring time and space. These units also follow the rotation of the Sun-Star and the other nine major planets, accompanied by the Moon-Star orbiting the space of the Earthly Obscure Star. Due to these causal conditions, the "Qi energy" both inside and outside the space of the Earthly Obscure Star differs accordingly.
The various star systems and celestial bodies within the vast universe are not all the same.
Human beings, with such knowledge and concepts deeply ingrained in their minds, are still unable to comprehend the operation of the entire Dark Nebula Star System. This kind of Qi energy also forms energy bodies of Qi with relatively similar magnitudes in the vicinity of the Solar System within the entire Milky Way Galaxy, all of which are quite comparable and alike!
It will also reshuffle the past ideologies and concepts of humanity, bringing about a clear distinction from the overall past obscurity. Because human beings have always resided within this Earth-Star, yet have been unable to break through the understanding of its overall periphery, they have never, since birth, truly comprehended the conditions under which the entire Earth-Star operates.
The cyclical rotation of the four seasons across the entire terrestrial and celestial space, as observed in the Central Land, operates through the phases of spring’s birth, summer’s growth, autumn’s harvest, and winter’s storage. This process mirrors the entirety of a human being’s life. By magnifying the orientation of all human existence, one can discern the profound matter of life and death for each individual, thereby likening each person’s single year to a complete lifetime.
For all human beings: amidst the trials of birth, aging, sickness, and death, it is through the source of the Three Pure Qi that the human year within the sentient world is magnified dozens of times. This amplifies the transformations and renewals within each year, enlarging the "great matter of life and death" into every month, day, hour, and minute, all of which are absorbed and influenced by the workings of the "Three Pure Qi."
Few among the multitude of human beings truly comprehend the genuine meaning of destiny's workings.
Thus, it allows sentient beings with emotions to dwell comfortably in life. Living in such comfort, and due to past temporal and causal conditions, human beings remain unaware of the overall rotation of the Earth Star. Apart from earthquakes, would human beings ever wonder: in the space of the Earth Star, it is precisely rotating at an incredibly rapid speed!
Regarding the planet Diming as a whole: the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter are formed because heaven and earth follow the cycle of the four seasons that sustain human life, existing within Diming. Yet, which human being among the multitude has ever been aware that Diming is in a state of rapid rotation? None! This is precisely how the Diming star system operates.
From the moment human beings are born, they become accustomed to the overall operation of the universe without even noticing it, completely unaware of how the entire space of the planet Diming operates. Through the stages of human existence—infancy, youth, maturity, prime, old age, and the end of life—all aspects of survival undergo continuous change.
The Qi of the Three Pure Ones: It is the fundamental essence of the entire cosmic galaxy, simultaneously governing the operation of each celestial body, ensuring that no tragic collisions occur. This great Dao, driven by a single breath of Qi, has been in motion for nearly over a billion years, serving to: mutually pull, mutually restrain, mutually support, and mutually balance all things.
An experiment can perceive the swirling wind of operation.
The formation of mutual interdependence lies in the operation of a great Dao. All qi energies correspond to the entire cosmic galaxy, with each celestial body possessing distinct qi substances of the five elements. This intricate interplay is governed by the movement of the "Three Pure Qi," which further enables all sentient beings to experience the rotation of their respective galactic systems. How, then, does this unfold?
Different elements of the Five Phases are integrated into the qi within, creating both internal and external aspects. Although the qi is the same in essence, the overall operation forms a substantial centrifugal energy within the planetary body, which then transforms into a different energy outside the galactic system.
How can this be explained? This is because, within a rotating galactic body, is the energy at its core the same as that at its periphery? That is to say, the energies differ. Furthermore, this distinction between the inner and outer regions—these differing energy bodies—can be tested within a single space, where the internal temperature remains fixed at approximately twenty degrees.
If we consider the perimeter of rotation around several celestial bodies, are all the qi energies the same? Moreover, the intrinsic qi energies within them would also differ. This kind of technological experiment could enable humanity to comprehend the qi substances involved. If further combined with the energies of the five elements, it would give rise to sentient beings of different material forms, as well as all living things in the universe.
The mysteries of the universe, galaxies, heaven, and earth are truly vast and profound.
How, then, does it relate to all living beings? This can be understood through every experiment—how all these mysteries come to be! The Three Pure Qi energies are akin to the fundamental instruments of the universe. Just as different celestial bodies have their origins, they also undergo transformations through the influence of the "Three Pure Qi energies."
All celestial bodies in the universe share the same fundamental nature, yet differ in their rotational forces. The varying speeds at which these celestial bodies rotate give rise to diverse sources of energy. This is the work of the "Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao," manifested within the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts," offered for all to comprehend.
This set of causes and conditions is certain to dispel the long-standing ignorance of human beings, who have never perceived that the entire subterranean star system is rotating at a remarkably rapid pace. Sentient humans remain fundamentally unaware that most celestial bodies within the entire cosmic star system operate in this manner. The mysteries therein shall be further unraveled in the next discourse.
The Three Purities are the essence of primordial energy;  
The cosmic constellations serve as their foundational vessels.
Human beings dwell upon the Earth,  
Unaware of the galaxy's rotating mechanism.
The deeds of every star are performed,  
Each galaxy returns to gather.
All qi is of one kind,  
It gains its fixed positions by joining the five phases.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: since ancient times, human beings have never perceived that the Earthly Nether Star System is in rapid rotation. For humanity, there is no awareness that the entire Earthly Nether Star System operates through the formula of "rotation and revolution," existing within the vast cosmos.
All sentient beings are thus, yet few can comprehend the intricate causes and conditions behind their actions and how they should be cultivated! Observing the Chongxin lineage today, its vitality is boundless, fully capable of great achievements in future propagation. Thank you all for accompanying this endeavor and for your time with the Chongxin lineage. You have all worked hard. Farewell for now!
##Namo Ancient Buddha Dipamkara
Wuji Qiaosheng Li Guanyin Ascends the Platform to Gather with Virtuous Disciples
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, permeate the cosmos;  
Qi and energy, alike in essence, revolve in cycles of cause.
All saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Universal Mother of the Big Dipper from the Cosmic Universe has personally descended to compose the twenty-fourth installment of "The Great Dao Universe," and to analyze the first installment of "The Three Pure Qi and the Cosmic Foundation." This connects the qi of the Three Pure Ones with all other forms of qi.
Specifically regarding the terms: Primordial Qi of the Heavens, Primordial Qi of Chaos, Primordial Qi of the Origin, and Primordial Qi of the Great Dao—all can be interconnected. Furthermore, when drawing analogies for all human beings and sentient beings, it is understood that the original essence of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao is formed through the interconnection of the Three Pure Ones. This also involves the rotation of the "Qi of the Three Pure Ones," which can benefit all living beings in the universe.
Sentient beings and all living things are fundamentally unaware that the rapid rotation of the Diming star system operates through the principle of "inner manifesting as outer"—specifically, by utilizing two distinct types of qi to drive its energy body. The energy bodies of nearby planets originally shared the same qi, but over time, this formed the foundation of all surrounding regions, ultimately giving rise to a larger, divergent source.
##Wuji International Guanyin Bodhisattva
Countless star systems in the vast cosmos, the Solar Star Lord descends to forge a bond.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, twenty-five cycles;  
The cosmic celestial realm, days and hours aligned.
The central axis of the sun and stars in this galaxy of the universe.
The Three Pure Qi energies serve as the foundation for all sentient star systems. Within each star system, the first, second, and third cosmic cycles govern its order. From the perspective of the cosmic celestial realm, the entire solar system revolves around the "Solar Chronology Star System" as its central axis. This vast celestial realm is fundamentally rooted in all "Three Pure Qi entities" as its primordial basis.
It is through the various energies within celestial bodies and the different energies outside them that sentient beings within this Earthly Nether Star System are defined. Specifically, what is termed "substantial void energy" applies to the Earthly Nether Star System, while "true void energy" refers to what lies beyond it. This causal condition, in turn, uses these distinct energies to observe all realms of the vast cosmos and celestial spheres.
It is thus understood that all primordial qi within and beyond the celestial bodies was originally uniform. After the first cosmic cycle, however, the infusion of the five elements emerged, leading to the differentiation of qi in each entity. Hence, this is precisely the case within the spatial realm of the Diming Star System.
And it is said: In this vast and empty world, such causes and conditions give rise to human breath, and also bring forth sentient beings among humans. This is achieved by using the "lungs" to absorb the qi of various entities, while also ensuring that sentient beings remain unaware that the entire Mingxing system moves in a clockwise direction, rushing toward a rapid rotation that generates different gases.
The sun shines its brilliant light upon the nine planets.
This kind of sentiment is fundamentally incomprehensible to sentient beings of affection, nor can they perceive that the spatial realm of the Diming Star is rotating at an astonishing speed. It is through this incredible frequency of "rotation and revolution" that one can sense the immense virtue and grace of the entire Diming Star, which greatly benefits all living beings.
At present, the Milky Way galaxy revolves around the sun as its central axis, and all living beings exist within their respective star systems, where there is no discomfort whatsoever. Thus, there are no other changes or limitations. From the perspective of the human world, this is precisely the case! All living beings are thus able to rely on this favorable state for comfortable survival.
Therefore, what is the primary necessity upon which human beings and all living creatures depend? It is "breathing air," rather than the food chain being the foremost. For sentient humans, breathing is the most essential task. If one ceases to breathe, that individual becomes "nothing more than a corpse"!
Therefore, it is the same for all human beings and all living things in the world. Only by practicing the absorption of the vital energy from the celestial realm of the great cosmos and the space of the earthly star can a comfortable living environment be created for every sentient human being. Without fresh and clean air, how can there be a healthy physical energy? It is indeed difficult!
The nine major planets revolve, marking the years by the sun's cycles.
Therefore, within the celestial system of the Earthly Nether Realm, this type of Qi energy—bestowed by the compassionate grace of the Supreme Heaven upon the entire cosmic system of galaxies—enables sentient beings to receive greater benefits. It is precisely through the function of the "Three Pure Qi Energies" that humanity and all living beings in the universe can absorb it, making it a truly practical means of sustenance for all.
Within these conditions of cause and effect, every human being is endowed with the necessity to practice. Each human exists within their respective star system through the "Three Pure Qi Energy Body." Moreover, most celestial bodies, whether planets or stars, generally possess benevolent qi energy, which integrates into their operation.
Therefore, the compassionate grace of Heaven is equally bestowed upon all living beings in the world, including humanity. It ensures that both "sentient beings and the insentient mountains, rivers, and earth" are filled with all forms of vital energy, thereby creating greater space for benefit. This is also essential for the various celestial systems.
It is precisely with the solar system at its core that this galactic system operates. Therefore, within the entire solar system, including its nine major planets and the myriad stars and celestial bodies in their orbits, it is essential to have the "radiance of the sun" shining upon them. This illumination is indispensable for all nine planets and the countless stars and celestial bodies in their vicinity.
The Dimi Star System also revolves around the Richen Star as its central axis.
This system takes the solar and stellar constellations as its central axis, allowing the sentient cosmic celestial realms to enact a form of solar and stellar radiance. Meanwhile, the other half remains untouched by this illumination, thereby receiving even greater benefits from all the virtuous graces of the solar system. Thus, what then becomes of the half that does not receive the light of the sun and stars?
It thus transforms into the two states of "radiance and darkness." This entire cosmic galaxy, moreover, revolves around the "solar system—the sun" as its essential axis. If other celestial bodies were considered, few resemble the Earth-Moon system, which is constrained by the mutual pull and opposition of the "lunar system." Such is precisely the nature of the human world!
This limitation, rooted in the union of yin and yang, must also be truthfully manifested for all stars and celestial bodies, as well as all sentient beings and living creatures. Due to the distinction between the "equator and the ecliptic," each star system thus differs, with the "solar system" serving as the primary axis of reference.
The Three Pure Qi, the foundation of the universe, also channel this energy through the mutual balance of the "Red Path and Yellow Path," using the myriad stars and celestial bodies as primary reference points. This condition clarifies why all stars and celestial bodies can faithfully exist within the cosmic space, performing operations of pulling, constraining, lifting, and balancing.
All stars and celestial bodies revolve around the solar system.
Under such conditions, the myriad stars and celestial bodies interact through mutual attraction, restraint, buoyancy, and balance, thereby establishing the guiding principles for the operation of all cosmic laws. This ensures the necessary illumination of the entire solar system, as well as the Earthly Nether Star System, with genuine radiance. Similarly, this principle applies to the space of the Earthly Nether Star and all neighboring celestial bodies.
Fundamentally, it is impossible to break free from the operations of this cosmic expanse. Therefore, the "Solar Star System and the Lunar Star System" mutually support the stability of the entire Earthly Star space. Even a slight change in the Solar System would endanger the vicinity of the entire Solar Star System, causing transformations in all surrounding star systems!
It is precisely the radiance emitted by the illumination of the entire solar day—composed of various intense solar factors, that is, solar flares—that further uses the solar system as a site of eruption, and then projects these solar flares toward neighboring celestial bodies. This very light of the solar flares inflicts significant damage upon all planets near the solar system.
The sun's ultraviolet rays have a high potential for harm.
The emission of various ultraviolet rays around all entities leads to the dispersion of solar flares (solar flame light) in the vicinity of the entire solar system. This causes the surrounding celestial bodies to operate in a disordered manner, resulting in significant variations in the movements of different entities, often accompanied by considerable chaos.
Different storms then converged, enabling the solar flames to penetrate all celestial bodies near the solar system, causing immense damage. However, after enduring the Third Kalpa, such calamities gradually faded away. Even if remnants persist, they no longer possess the devastating power of the First and Second Kalpas as in the past.
Furthermore, in the most recent third cosmic cycle, the frequency of invasions and damages to other celestial bodies has greatly diminished. As a result, the responsibilities of the Heavenly Providence toward the Solar Star System have become an immense undertaking of care, benefiting all living beings across myriad realms. This is made possible by the vast primordial energy that permeates all star systems, forming the very structure of the Heavenly Providence's compassionate virtue and benevolent grace.
The celestial bodies of the day and stars form the main axis,  
The vast heavenly realm is selfless.
Each celestial system creates its own qi,  
Forming reality as it originates from this fundamental week.
The fiery radiance of the sun gradually fades,  
Yet the virtuous ways of all living beings endure.
Where there is a wholesome and benevolent aura,  
It spreads far and wide, benefiting all sentient beings.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it radiates a "solar flame light" that has never descended since ancient times, bringing forth a more beneficial absorption effect for all living beings. Therefore, during the absorption in the first and second kalpas, the destructive power of the "solar flame light" is mitigated.
In the current third kalpa, the severity has already diminished to its lowest degree. Yet, when observing the destructive forces in the human world at present, there still exist more or fewer calamities originating from the radiant flames of the sun! Thank you all for your diligent companionship in this work, and for troubling the Chongxin lineage for some time. Farewell, everyone!
##Nanping Daiji Ancient Buddha
The Bodhisattva Guanyin with the Limitless Pure Vase, whose heavenly heart is purified, illuminates the nature of enlightenment.
There exists the civilization of antiquity,  
Evolving through the ages of human existence.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Solar Deity of the Great Cosmos has descended to compose the twenty-fifth chapter of "The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones." Have you all felt a great surge of thermal energy, as if about to break into a sweat? Is this not so? This is precisely the unique opportunity afforded by the lineage of the Chongxin Sect.
It is precisely by inviting all the "Stars and Star Lords" of the Great Cosmic Heaven to descend and analyze, as recorded in the "Dadao Series Celestial Texts," that we can truthfully address the obscurations and obstacles of all sentient beings in the current era who possess consciousness. This creates favorable conditions and virtuous causes to dissolve these hindrances, offering the sublime cause of "Buddha-Demon Transformation" to foster growth and elevation.
In addressing the obstacles that everyone faces, there is actually an opportunity for greater benefit. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. We hope everyone can join together in elevating themselves! Tomorrow evening, there will also be a timely lecture by the Chan master, which promises to bring significant benefits. Everyone is welcome to participate and work toward self-improvement, establishing sound ways of thinking. Thank you all for your hard work. Until we meet again!
##Wuji International Guanyin Bodhisattva
The myriad star systems across the great cosmos —  
The Grand Lunar Goddess descends to bestow her covenant.
The Great Dao's Three Pure Ones, Chapter Twenty-Six: The Lunar Guardian of the Dimstar System
The Lunar Star System protects the Earthly Nether Star.
The Solar System: Following the nine major planets, within all "the ecliptic and the celestial equator," it encompasses all stars and celestial bodies in their operations, enabling greater growth. Moreover, for each star system, it evolves through the current spacetime, advancing in the role of high-tech civilization. How, then, can we discern and understand all the myriad stars and celestial bodies?
This solar system within the Milky Way galaxy serves to protect each individual star system, while also relying on each of the nine major planets to collectively illuminate the entire solar system with their radiance. Therefore, around each star system, there exist, to varying degrees, different protective star systems.
This causal condition is based on the conduct of all star systems in the vast universe, which serves as a remarkably benevolent function. It operates through the "Great Dao," guiding each celestial body in its various movements. Through different star systems, it governs their rotations, and in relation to the entire cosmos, it manifests as an immensely vast interstellar entity.
It is a very practical approach to consider the operation of all "planets and stars" through the various galactic bodies, using the sentient beings and all life within that galaxy as the guiding principle. This allows for a clear understanding that all reliance on the "Great Dao of the Three Purities and the Earthly Nether Galaxy" lies precisely in the illumination of the "Solar Star System," from which benefits are derived.
The enduring cycle of the moon and stars through time.
This action serves as a protective measure for the lunar-stellar system. Particularly, as understood from past cosmic cycles, the movements of all celestial bodies—both planets and stars—are governed by the differential interplay of the "equator and ecliptic." This results in distinct annual cycles for each of the nine major planets, as well as unique operational formulas for their revolutions.
If we speak of the protection granted by the Earthly Nether Star System, then it is: the Lunar Dawn Star System! It is exceedingly difficult for sentient human beings to comprehend—when the entire cosmic star system, unlike meteor showers, is cast toward each individual star system, what then will occur? How much more will human beings understand the destructive power these meteor showers bring upon all sentient beings and living creatures?
It is precisely within the various galactic systems that the question arises: can they be protected? This is extremely difficult to discern! Moreover, it is impossible to fully comprehend how the "Moon-Star" has replaced the Earthly Nether Star System in bearing all external destructive forces. When meteoroids are hurled into the space of the Earthly Nether Star, over 80% of them are intercepted and withstood by the "Moon-Star"!
It is precisely the protective body of the Earthly Nether Star System that provides guardianship. Within this system, the survival orientations of all sentient beings and myriad creatures are safeguarded by the "Lunar Dawn Star System," enabling humanity to comprehend the space of the Earthly Nether Star. All meteorites cast into the space of the Earthly Nether Star will thereby diminish calamities for all beings of the First Cosmic Era.
The Moon, planets, and stars protect all living beings on Earth.
Formed after the Second Cosmic Era, the Earthly Nether Star System received the protection of the Moonlight Star System, which significantly mitigated calamities for sentient beings. This is a manifestation of the compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven. Reflecting on the disasters of the First Cosmic Era, there was no "Moonlight Star System" to safeguard the tranquility of the "Earthly Nether Star System."
For the protection of all living beings, it can be said: there are both advantages and disadvantages, and within disadvantages lie advantages. This is through the compassionate grace of the heavens, which replaces the space of the Earthly Nether Star System. All living beings of the myriad things are thus safeguarded by the "Lunar Dawn Star System," protecting the myriad spirits and beings of the Earthly Nether Star System from harm by extraterrestrial meteors.
Additionally, with the Moon as the guiding star, it extends to the spatial realm of the Earth-Ming star system. All celestial influences descend accordingly, occurring once every twenty-eight-day cycle. Specifically, the celestial influence on the feminine principle of humanity is facilitated by the gravitational pull of the Moon-Chen star system. Within the Earth-Ming star system, accompanied by its tides, the celestial influence on the feminine principle thus descends.
The intricate origins and developments of such celestial opportunities and predestined connections are fundamentally beyond the comprehension of human beings. How, then, can all these issues be understood? However, it can be recognized that after the age of sixteen, humans begin the descent of the heavenly waters of maturity, regardless of whether they follow the "Kun Dao" (feminine path) or "Qian Dao" (masculine path). All affectionate humans are alike in this regard, inevitably giving rise to the manifestation of "emotion-stirring elements."
Human beings rely on the affections of hormones.
This kind of hormone for the cosmos is precisely an addition to all the energy of the body. It also forms the basis that all hormones from the age of sixteen to before sixty are a form of protection for the entire human body. This hormone is even more the source of youthful strength for all sentient beings with emotions, and it is absolutely indispensable!
Thus, if lacking this hormonal source of strength, human beings begin the decay of their physical forms. To maintain a wholesome body indefinitely, aside from slowing the dissipation of hormones, one must also extend the health of the virtuous physique. This is precisely achieved through the "alignment of the Moon and stars with the Earth's underworld star," in a holistic tidal synergy!
At the same time, for all sentient beings within the entire Diming star system, regardless of gender, this "hormone" serves as the driving force behind the functions of the youthful body—the very fountain of youth. All its origins and transformations are guided by the Yuechen star system, following a monthly cycle from the first to the twenty-eighth day.
This causal condition elucidates why human beings are blessed by the lunar and stellar bodies, thereby enabling each individual to possess a more robust and healthy physique. This occurs because the lunar and stellar systems compensate for the deficiencies left by the solar system's radiation; otherwise, humanity would suffer a significant depletion of vital energy.
The Lunar Star System Compensates for Human Rest
Observing from the perspective of sentient beings, this serves an even more benevolent purpose! Moreover, such lunar star systems protect the space of the Earthly Obscure Star and all living beings across the myriad realms. After being illuminated by the radiance of the solar stars, all beings in their rest must be replenished by the energy of the lunar star systems, and there will indeed be a time and space conducive to genuine rest.
Similarly, within the space of the present-day Diming Star System, where the sun never sets, all living beings also tend to have shorter lifespans. This is because there is no resting space akin to the Yuechen Star System, and it is necessary to compensate for the functions that the Yuechen Star System provides. This is precisely like the original essence of the "Great Dao's Primordial Qi," which exists within the space of the Diming Star System.
There is the radiance of a relatively favorable day-star, and there is also the resting energy body of the lunar-star system, which gives rise to a kind of "mutual fusion of yin and yang" energy body—this is the true nature. Over billions of years, the lunar-star system has exerted tidal influences on the Earth-Ming star system, which also affects the ebb and flow of ocean tides!
The lava flow of the Earth's Underworld Star was obstructed, turning into disaster.
This will generate a sudden surge of energy, targeting all magma flows within the Earth-Ming star system—specifically, all magma flows illuminated by the suns in the Earth-Ming star system—to harm human beings. Why do magma flows sometimes fail to align with the space-time continuum? This is due to the accumulation of massive blockages over a long period.
For all the internal magma within the Earth-Ming star system, when obstruction occurs, it inevitably forms a hindrance, with not a single drop dissipating. Consequently, it transforms into a great calamity, precisely the "earth-ox turning over"—the disaster of earthquakes. Therefore, the Moon-Chen star system serves as the protector of the Earth-Ming star system, the very source of all stability.
Throughout these billions of years, there has never been a fair and objective work that could elucidate such celestial secrets and auspicious opportunities. Now, taking advantage of this writing opportunity, we begin to explore: Why do humans experience the descent of the Heavenly Essence? Moreover, regarding the magma fluctuations of the Diming Star System, if the blockage becomes too severe, it will lead to an explosive eruption at a sudden opening.
The earth dragon stirs, and humanity suffers calamity.
It would then become what is known as an "earthquake disaster" when the earth shifts! If it becomes too severe, it will destabilize the tides. This is due to the Moon-Chen star system's protection of the spatial realm of Earth-Ming Star, which safeguards all living beings and the universe, with the addition of "hormones." This causal condition is precisely the supplementation of "estrogen."
Sentient beings among humanity fundamentally fail to understand that so-called "affection hormones" are precisely the source from which all cosmic male and female hormones generate every form of desire and passion. This is also a manifestation of love, giving rise to the affection and bond between devoted couples. This principle will, in due course, be verified by future space scientists (or scientists) exactly as it is.
Regarding the source of this hormone and the issue of magma fluctuations, it is precisely these factors that genuinely serve as a protective mechanism for the space of the Diming Star, rather than a harmful interference. This condition also substitutes for the Diming Star system, blocking over 70 to 80 percent of impacts from meteorites in outer space. Can everyone understand this?
Technological civilization shapes this life, yet the true nature of humanity remains elusive to the sentimental.
Why are there the Moon, the Sun, and the Stars?  
To protect the Earth and the countless truths of the underworld.
The sun shines with great radiance, leaving no time for rest, busy from dawn till dusk.
The heavens bestow virtue and grace upon all living beings,  
diminishing decline and extending the span of life.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings; at present, in this time and space, we have only analyzed half of the protective space of the Diming star system within the Yuechen star system. If there is an opportunity in the future, we shall come together again to study it further! Observing the unity and strength of the Chongxin lineage, a great energy is gradually emerging, which is deeply gratifying!
May this strength be preserved forever; in days to come, it will surely accomplish great deeds. This is a virtuous grace that benefits oneself, others, and all living beings. Such conditions and affinities will grant the Chongxin lineage boundless space to benefit both oneself and all sentient beings. I have disturbed the Chongxin lineage for some time. Thank you for accompanying me in this work. I appreciate everyone’s efforts. Farewell!
##Homage to the Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue, and Human and Celestial Realms
The Infinite White Sage, Avalokitesvara, gathers together all sages and virtuous beings.
All have toiled, yet all are well and safe;  
The ancient mysteries reveal their true nature.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Lady of the Great Yin (Star Lord) from the Cosmic Universe has descended to compose the twenty-sixth installment of "The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones," elucidating half of the benevolent grace by which the Lunar Star System protects the Earthly Underworld System for all sentient beings among the myriad spirits.
Descending yet another half-step, truly uncertain when one might comprehend all, how exhilarating! How exhilarating! Yet there is a touch of regret, for throughout the ages, all sentient beings among humanity have fundamentally failed to understand how the Moon Star, constrained by the Sun Star, acts to protect and bestow blessings upon all living souls within the realm of the Earthly Nether Star, thereby bringing benefit to all!
This set of causes and conditions allows us to understand that this is indeed an absolutely true fact, and it is also the first analysis ever written since ancient times, as well as the first time that humanity and all sentient beings have heard such a message. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow, for that is the true path. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
## The Infinite Purple-Robed Silver Sacred Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
Homage to the descent of the Ancient Buddha Dipamkara,  
The lineage of the Chongxin Sect shines across distant lands.
The Great Dao's Three Purities in twenty-seven cycles;  
The myriad stars revolve, presenting auspicious signs.
The Great Dao, the Three Purities, and the myriad stars and celestial bodies revolve in motion.
The Earth-Ming star system is centered around the Richen star and protected by the Yuechen star system. From this, it becomes clear that this Earth-Ming star system is governed by the heavens in directing the life paths of all living beings. Under such conditions of causality, for the sentient human beings within the Earth-Ming star system, this represents a necessary impetus for upward growth.
It is also very true that regarding this kind of life-nourishing, there arises the necessity for each individual to nourish life in the present. Because this human world must understand that in the operation of the vast cosmos, it is through the growth of each celestial system, and by adhering to the principles of "rotation and revolution," that the myriad stars and constellations are formed. This is precisely what takes the Great Dao as its fundamental point of reference.
Furthermore, taking the Three Pure Ones as the central axis of responsive transformation, within this cosmic and universal juncture, even contemporary scientists (astronomers) find it difficult to comprehend: why, among the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Land, there exists a grand Dao in operation, and why the "Five Elements" are incorporated into it, forming the movements of all stars and celestial bodies.
Especially when considering the sages of the past, one can clearly understand that in the face of the vast celestial phenomena, this ancient civilization's scientific and technological knowledge remains a mystery even to most people in the modern era, who can scarcely comprehend its profound secrets! This has given humanity a perspective where the myriad stars and constellations serve as the foundational reference for guiding and transforming all sentient beings within the great cosmos.
The energy of the Three Pure Ones, through which myriad stars revolve along the Great Way.
In ancient times, sages could thoroughly comprehend various celestial phenomena—a highly advanced form of astronomy. How many could truly grasp such mysteries? Very few indeed! It is thus necessary to pass down this ancient civilization's "archaeoastronomy" to elevate the knowledge and concepts of the present era, thereby driving the advancement of human civilization, science, and technology.
How then can we speak of the Great Dao and the Three Purities, or of the myriad stars in their revolutions? If we consider the Great Dao as the entirety of the cosmic galaxy, sustained by the revolutions of various stellar systems, then past generations of humanity would have believed that the space inhabited by humans was centered on heaven and earth, and that this heaven and earth formed the very core of the universe.
This process of causation truly reflects how human beings, like frogs at the bottom of a well viewing the sky, overestimate their own capabilities. They fail to recognize that human existence is fundamentally rooted in the cosmos of heaven and earth, yet they presume their own ways to be the righteous path. Moreover, they regard all celestial bodies and star systems as revolving around the spatial domain of the Earthly Obscure Star. Such a viewpoint is utterly laughable, precisely illustrating the ignorance of humanity.
Particularly in the current era, as circumstances and conditions have evolved, human beings, through the advancements of technological civilization, have gradually come to realize that the center of the universe is by no means the Earth-Moon star system. This renewal of human understanding has slowly dispelled incorrect knowledge and beliefs.
Human beings are arrogant in their ignorance.
Regarding human beings, they often consider themselves as "the frog in the well," unaware that humans are actually the most impure beings. It is precisely for this reason that they have descended to the space of the Earthly Star for reformation, to cleanse and renew all defiled consciousness, and to transform their inner disposition. Through this process, the entire body’s impurities and defiled consciousness can be purified and reborn anew through a fresh beginning.
Furthermore, to alter all past obscurations of ignorance, this set of causal conditions regarding former notions—namely, being both ignorant and unaware—gives rise to what is metaphorically described as "the arrogance of Yelang." Although human beings are esteemed as the most intelligent of all creatures, they often fail to elevate themselves or progress sufficiently upward. Consequently, they easily fall into the trap of "Yelang arrogance."
This gave rise to the erroneous notion that "man can conquer nature." Little do people realize that if humanity, as sentient beings, wishes to overcome nature, it can only be achieved with the approval of Heaven. All else remains firmly in the hands of the Divine, which is precisely why human lifespans do not even reach a century. Yet, inflated by arrogance, humans proclaim themselves the supreme rulers of all spirits on the entire planet Earth!
However, if considered from an intangible perspective, human beings are unable to control the extension of their own lifespans. This leaves humanity in a state of helplessness, existing within the mortal world. Moreover, within the entire cosmic galaxy, there are still twenty-six star systems far more advanced in technology and civilization than Earth.
Loving humanity has inflated itself.
Sentient human beings often believe that within the entire cosmic galaxy, only human beings exist. This is a rather superficial notion. It is precisely because human beings have inflated their own importance that they remain trapped within the space of Earth and the underworld star, undergoing repeated cycles of reincarnation from one lifetime to another—a state of profound helplessness.
There was a time when it was possible to ascend and transcend to higher realms! Under such conditions and causes, human beings had only just begun to develop knowledge and concepts; it was difficult to align with the technological civilization of the cosmic galaxy. Thus, it is essential for humanity to understand that although the heavens and earth are vast, human beings are indeed advanced creatures.
However, in the grand operation of the entire cosmic galaxy, human beings are far too insignificant. It is essential to hold this perspective, lest we repeatedly inflate our own importance. We must understand that humanity, within the vastness of the cosmic galaxy, is merely like the tiniest of bacteria, scarcely comparable to other celestial bodies.
Under such conditions, one can observe that the overall cosmic galaxy is an immensely vast space. Is the Earth, where humanity resides, also vast? Compared to human beings, it is indeed tremendously large! However, when compared to the entire cosmic galaxy, the latter is tens of millions of times larger, and the Earth is merely a tiny grain of sand!
The entire cosmos is imbued with the three pure qi energies.
How can it be compared to the cosmic galaxies? One will then understand: the energy source that drives the entire universe and its galaxies originates from the fundamental essence of the Great Dao. Under such conditions, based on the foundation of the Great Dao, it is necessary to incorporate the "Three Pure Qi Energies" to create and enable the operation of each individual galaxy. This aligns with the Three Pure Ones' regulation of the overall functioning of the Great Dao!
Human beings seldom understand that the intricacies of such matters cannot be fully dissected one by one amidst the myriad illusions of the mortal world. If we await future scientists—astronomers—to provide verification, it will require traversing vast stretches of time and space. Only then can it be confirmed that the operation of the Great Dao revolves around the entire cosmic galaxy as its central axis.
It is precisely through: buoyancy, restraint, pulling, and balancing... that for sentient beings, across past kalpas, each manifestation within the entirety of the obscure star is presented. And in response to such conditions, within the overall operation of the Great Dao, the energy of qi is inevitably formed, driving the Three Purities of the Great Dao—how, then, will they be affected?
It is a rather high-level energy entity, which understands that the Three Pure Qi of the Great Dao, after billions of years in the human realm, gradually stabilized and transformed into the space of the underworld star where the beings of the current generation reside. This is precisely the benevolent grace of the "Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao."
The Great Dao, with its singular vital breath, propels the motion of all stars and celestial bodies.
It is through the operation of all stars and celestial bodies across the cosmic expanse that the "Three Pure Qi Energy Entities" are integrated into each galactic system. This illustrates that all cosmic galaxies are transformed by the primordial Qi of the Great Dao, and the "Three Pure Qi Entities" are also incorporated within them, thereby extending benefits to all human beings and sentient beings.
There exists a form of highly knowledgeable energy, which truthfully encompasses both Yin and Yang, as well as all sentient beings, relying on a superior intelligence. It also integrates all celestial bodies and stars of the universe into the operation of the unified "Three Pure Qi Body," thereby driving the entire Earthly Nether Star to function in this manner.
The inclusion of the "Three Pure Qi Energy Body" within it, along with the operation of all stars and celestial bodies throughout the universe, embodies a high-energy entity. It also enables sentient beings to absorb "carbon dioxide and oxygen," which is the true path. This is why human beings must rely on the "lungs" of the human body for respiration.
Talent and ability are oriented towards actual survival, therefore, human beings primarily rely on the combination of the food chain and the intersection of the transactional chain, further entering the currency chain to achieve sufficiency. Among these, what is the foremost priority for all living beings? It is precisely to have "breath"! Without breath, all matters become irrelevant.
Breathe in fresh, clean air, for it is what all human beings truly need.
The Earthly Nether Star System harbors the mechanism of existence,  
Fulfilling the covenant of all forms and myriad beings.
The Qi of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao  
Is difficult for sentient beings to comprehend.
Why does such energy exist?  
It is precisely what nurtures life and must be relied upon.
This verse! It is mutually encouraged among all sentient beings; it analyzes the extraordinary causes and conditions that have never descended upon the human world since ancient times. Through the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," everyone can understand how the entire cosmic galaxy is endowed with all the "Three Pure Qi Energies," which are analyzed for the benefit of all. Thank you for your companionship and hard work in this endeavor. Gratitude is expressed!
##Nanhai Ancient Buddha
Wuji International Guanyin  
All beings in the mortal world possess compassion.
The Qi of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao  
Must possess the breath-nature of humanity.
Good evening to all the saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy! Today, the 27th installment of "The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones" is being composed through the descent of the Patriarch of our lineage, the Ancient Buddha Námó Rándēng. It can be gradually understood that the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones are summarized through the substance of qi, which serves as the breath energy body for all human beings.
Only then can one truly benefit; therefore, for all human beings and all living things in creation, the foremost priority is the ability to breathe—this is the true path! It is also hoped that everyone will come to understand that each time the immortal Buddhas and teachers painstakingly impart their teachings, it is all for the sake of enabling everyone to comprehend the entire context and origins, so as not to remain stagnant in the knowledge and concepts of the past.
This is the teaching curriculum of the Chongxin lineage, guided by the wisdom of immortal and buddha teachers. It is essential for everyone to diligently absorb its profound mysteries, so as to avoid the regret of "lamenting its scarcity when the time comes to use it" in future times. Such ancient mysteries must be understood by all, for only then can one ascend and progress.
Regarding the works of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," they rely on favorable conditions and virtuous causes, truly benefiting oneself and all sentient beings. I hope everyone will diligently study and uncover their treasures! Tomorrow is Saturday again, with all guidance sessions proceeding as usual. The day after tomorrow marks this month’s repentance ceremony—let us all come together to learn and grow. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Limitless Blue-Robed Golden Sacred Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
The Ancient Buddha Nanping Daoji descends, expanding the vast realm of the Chongxin lineage.
The Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao in Twenty-Eight Cycles  
The Qi of the Dao Lifts All Beings
The Three Pure Qi is the fundamental substance of the Dao.
The Qi of the Dao is the essential existence of heaven and earth, and this Qi is also stored within the celestial bodies of the Diming Star System, with the "Three Pure Qi" serving as its fundamental essence. In the human world, all actions and practices—whether for human beings or all living creatures—must involve the absorption of the "Three Pure Qi."
In the human realm, this can be described as: oxygen and carbon dioxide! For sentient beings, the process of respiration originates precisely from the world of sentience, which is the fundamental source of all things. This applies universally throughout the entire Diming Star system, without distinction. However, if one departs from the space of Diming Star, the "Three Pure Qi" is no longer used for respiration.
It will incorporate different gases from other cosmic star systems, and this is precisely the case if it exists within the spatial realm of the Earthly Dark Star. Moreover, in the past, humans were less capable of distinguishing between the Great Dao's Primordial Qi, the Primordial Chaos Qi, and the Innate Primordial Qi... In the current era of the Third Cosmic Eon, this has facilitated the integration of the "Three Pure Qi Energies" into the entirety of the Earthly Dark Star system.
Thus it came to be: With regard to the First Primordial Kalpa and the Second Primordial Kalpa, formed within the spatial realm of the "Three Pure Qi Essence" in the Earthly Nether Star, such causal conditions, when viewed through the Third Primordial Kalpa, gave rise to the following: The "Three Pure Qi Essence" could manifest more truly within the human world, thereby enabling the discernment of the causal nature inherent in the existence of the "Three Pure Qi Essence."
The space of the Di Ming star system is filled with the Three Pure Qi.
If the primary absorption is focused on the current human population, then the heavens have not implanted the Primordial Qi, the Great Dao Qi, or the Primordial Chaos Qi into the Earthly Obscurity Star System for all living beings to absorb. Moreover, the "Three Pure Qi Energies" are essential for humanity, and this necessity holds true for the mortal world.
Throughout the first, second, and third cosmic cycles, there have been various ways of absorbing air. Particularly in the first cosmic cycle, although the "Qi of the Three Pure Ones" existed, it was absorbed relatively less by sentient beings. In the second cosmic cycle, the presence of the "Qi of the Three Pure Ones" was further increased.
Moreover, sentient beings inhale through their lungs. In ancient times, what is now called oxygen and carbon dioxide was not known by these names. It resembled the absorption of energy by methane-a, akin to that of Titan Saturn. Thus, humanity fundamentally fails to comprehend why methane-a exists in this context.
At the beginning of the second cosmic era in ancient times, the "Three Pure Qi" existed within the terrestrial and celestial systems. However, it was not referred to by names such as "oxygen" or "carbon dioxide" as used by humanity in the present age. This can be understood as a principle where only the fittest survive, while those unfit are naturally eliminated. As a result, survival became exceedingly difficult to attain.
All living beings rely on mutual support for their survival.
For sentient beings in the current era, if they do not rely on their lungs for respiration, their lifespan as human beings will inevitably continue to decline in the human world. Particularly during the first kalpa, when a great deal of methane was inhaled by most beings, those with physical life spans enjoyed an era of 3,000 years.
In the second kalpa, as part of the methane a was diminished, the lifespan of human beings was also halved to 1,500 years. Combined with the lifespan of the third kalpa—both its earlier and later halves—humankind was left with only a few hundred years of life. Observing the final half of the third kalpa, it is seen that life spans barely reach a hundred years.
In the era of the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors," human beings once lived for nearly a thousand years. Yet, after only tens of thousands of years in the current age, human lifespans have already fallen short of a century. Moreover, the bodies that once stood over ten feet tall have now diminished to less than 200 centimeters, reduced to merely 160–180 centimeters.
Observing the spacetime of methane-a's lifespan, it is certain that many aspects of life can be enhanced. However, the current human populace must rely on the "lungs" for respiration. Whether methane-a can be incorporated into this process to extend human life and longevity is not guaranteed! Only in the future will it be possible to achieve an increase in life expectancy.
The records of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones span only sixty thousand years.
If we examine the records of human civilization: there was the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who, within the Jade Purity Realm of the Qingwei Heaven, transformed and gave rise to the entire space of the Dim Star. From this emerged the Jade Purity, Upper Purity, and Supreme Purity descending into the human world. This is the historical evolution recorded over more than sixty thousand to thirty thousand years in Daoist tradition.
Thus, if we consider the records of the Three Pure Qi, how can we clarify the process by which the "Three Pure Qi" descended and transformed within the space of this Earthly Nether Star System? It is also within the entirety of the Earthly Nether Star System that we speak of the creation of heaven and earth! This is based on the foundation of the Great Emperor Pangu, and it is from the "Three Pure Qi" that the calculation for human beings and all living beings begins.
Thus, within history, there exists a lineage of the Dao—one that is not formally transmitted. This connection to past times and circumstances also does not involve so-called titles such as "Saints, Immortals, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, or High Perfected Ones." This very connection facilitated the opening of the present-day Diming Star System by the "Three Pure Dao Ancestors," thereby creating the space of this heaven and earth.
Regarding these past uncertainties, even human beings are unable to fully comprehend them, let alone trace their origins and developments! Consequently, the origins of the "Three Pure Daoist Patriarchs" remain largely unclear, leading to the Daoist saying: the Great Dao arises from this. While it may be said so, this is merely a record of the past sixty thousand years.
In earlier times, the functions of the primordial cycles were exceedingly difficult to grasp.
They have never traced back to the third kalpa, the second kalpa, or the first kalpa. Therefore, humanity is hindered by many forms of knowledge, wisdom, and concepts. This is not the fault of human beings, but rather, due to the conditions of past time and space, there has never been a framework verified by human space scientists (or scientists).
It is necessary to have very precise verification; this kind of logic can be understood. However, there are many correct concepts that cannot be comprehended through scientific logic alone. Moreover, regarding such errors, it is not the fault of sentient beings, but rather the result of past temporal and conditional circumstances, which also lack a truly accurate perspective for verification.
It is precisely because sentient beings find it difficult to comprehend the technology of ancient civilizations. In the present day, if we were to use methane A and introduce it into human society, do you think people would understand? Most wouldn’t even dare to imagine it! This is the evolution brought about by technological civilization, which for humanity means the enhancement of life and longevity!
The Three Pure Qi-essences descend and enter,  
Yet mortals know not whence they come.
Methane's lifespan spans three thousand years,  
Yet sentient beings fail to grasp its truth.
Saturn's Titan drifts afar,  
While technology evolves at a rapid pace.
In this moment, chasing after millennia—  
Different ways of thinking are hard to clarify.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it analyzes the "Three Pure Qi Energy Body" from another perspective. Why did humans in the past live three thousand years and have bodies dozens of feet tall? Why are humans today not even a hundred years old and so short in stature? The full story behind this, when heard today, seems like nothing more than a fairy tale!
However, all of these truly exist within the spatial realm of the Diming star system. Can everyone discern this? It is extremely difficult! Today, I, your teacher, have come once again to bless the fruits, and I can also bestow some wisdom and fortune. Are you all pleased? Today, I appreciate everyone’s hard work in accompanying the writing. This old monk will soon depart on a journey, do not envy me! Well, everyone, farewell for now!
##Vast Void Limitless Old Mother of Mount Li
Wuji International Guanyin  
Ascends the Platform to Gather with Virtuous Disciples
Today, the Jì Buddha descends once more, bestowing upon all the wisdom and wealth of practice.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the presiding immortal Buddha of the "Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao," the Ancient Buddha Teacher Nanping Daoji, has descended once again. Does everyone greet each occasion with joyful laughter? Today’s discourse once again unveils the veils of delusion unknown to the entire human world—truths never even heard of before!
It is understood that the first cosmic cycle granted a lifespan of three thousand years, which has since continuously diminished to less than a century today. Moreover, the physical stature has become so drastically reduced that for humanity and all living beings, this represents a profound deficiency! Everyone should recognize that methane a enables humans to survive within the spatial environment of the Diming Star.
With three thousand years of moonlight, do you all envy it? The conditions and causes of such ancient technological civilization are things you have never even heard of. Given that there are still many essential questions for today’s scientists to explore, it is time to thoroughly study the "Dadao Series Classics"! The following volumes all contain profound mysteries of the heavens. Thank you for your hard work, and farewell!
##Limitless Principle-Wisdom Contemplating the Sound of the World Bodhisattva
Homage to the Buddha of Supreme Virtue in the Void,  
The master of humans and devas who aids in my fulfillment.
The Great Dao, the Three Purities, twenty-nine cycles;  
The Earthly Nether star system, formed of qi and substance.
The Daming Star System contains the Three Pure Qi substances.
Sentient beings entering the human realm prioritize respiration as their foremost necessity, which also shapes the human condition. The primary basis for this lies in the absorption of the "Three Pure Qi." If one were to rely on the atmospheric conditions of the first primordial era, human beings would be utterly unable to discern: what is referred to as methane gas belongs to the world of that bygone age.
In this human world, there exists a lifespan of three thousand years, spanning the first half of the primordial kalpa and extending into its latter half. Throughout these epochs, the absorption of this gaseous substance remains entirely incomprehensible to humanity: why does methane gas exist within the Earthly Nether Star System, possessing what is described as an absorptive function?
It can alleviate a portion of the symptoms of illness; it also explains why, since the second kalpa, human beings have gradually diminished the presence of methane gas. Consequently, the lifespan of humanity has continuously decreased to 1,500 years, far from reaching the full 3,000 years of longevity.
This original cause and effect gradually faded away with the dissipation of Methane A. Thereafter, human beings began to inhale through their "lungs," causing greater harm to their bodies. Following the gradual elimination of Methane A gas, the lifespan of human beings became shorter than the enduring longevity experienced in the first cosmic cycle.
The Qi of the Three Purities exists within the space of the underworld.
Regarding the atmosphere of the Earth-Ming star system, the human world possesses the following: by pushing the Moon-Chen star to the side of the Earth-Ming star system, forming all the survival orientations of human beings, it cannot be compared with the First Cosmic Era! As for the atmospheric body of the Second Cosmic Era, it is sustained by human beings and absorbed by their physical forms.
There exists a type of lung used by humans for breathing. This lung, in its capacity for inhalation, draws in an air that is comparatively purer than that of the present era, the Third Cosmic Cycle. Formed through the transformations of the second half and the latter part of the Second Cosmic Cycle, it has endured the shifts from seas to mulberry fields, evolving with each cataclysmic transition.
This methane gas is gradually dissipating; it can be released by human beings through the excretion of gases. Is there a kind of "ammonia" gas? If so, by the third kalpa, human beings in the Earthly Nether Star System would have even rarer "ammonia," which is also gradually fading away.
The lifespan of human beings, as a form of existence, no longer undergoes the process of being replenished by the energy of methane gas, leading to a gradual decline in all years of survival. This phenomenon in the human world is known as: a rather cruel reality. If we consider the present moment of the third kalpa, what would it be like? This is something ordinary human beings cannot comprehend!
In the past, methane gas aided sentient beings.
Having traversed the first half of the third kalpa and the subsequent span of time and space, what is referred to as these causal conditions have gradually dissipated methane and ammonia. Thus, after the passage of time and space, the lifespan of present-day human beings has been formed, amounting to only one hundred years of life.
Not yet a hundred years old, and all are thus; this further exacerbates the physical calamities of human beings, leading to a decline in the lifespan of all living humans, resulting in a significant reduction in human longevity. Therefore, human beings, with the Earthly Nether Star System as their point of existence, live very truthfully within the space of Earth.
The expansion of the Di Ming star system gave rise to two distinct theories, the Eastern and the Western. In the Central Land, it is said that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, one of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao, presided over the creation of heaven and earth. Hence, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable is also known as the Primordial Heavenly King. Furthermore, the Primordial Qi is regarded as the Primordial Ancestor.
And there is the legend of Pangu Laozu creating heaven and earth; such accounts are varied and numerous, and it is not clear which is correct or which is merely speculative! If we consider the Western narrative of creation, where the human world was created by the cosmic deity Zeus, we have the seven-day week—this theory is not without its basis either.
In the present age, the Three Pure Ones depend upon the air for their existence.
Amidst the multitude of conflicting opinions, which one is correct, and which is merely forced interpretation? Moreover, most of these accounts are nothing but hearsay! In truth, within the operation of the entire cosmic galaxy, on the planet Diming where humanity resides, there exists a type of methane gas, which constitutes what is known as the realm of existence.
This realm of existence, with the human organs from the first kalpa of ancient times, did not yet fully rely on the lungs for respiration. It was only in the second kalpa that this began. In those ancient times, methane gas filled the entire Earthly Nether Star System. Thus, although humans possessed lungs for respiration, they were not yet fully developed.
Because the air containing methane gas exists within the Earth-Ming star system, it is said that the lifespan of human life has been reduced by half. In this future time and space, it continues to diminish further and further, resulting in the current lifespan of humanity, which is now less than a hundred years.
The decline of public morality and the weakening of vital energy have brought about disasters.
In the third cosmic cycle, the lifespans of the preceding and subsequent cycles did not exceed 1,000 years. As time progressed into the present era, human hearts grew corrupt, giving rise to endless acts of slaughter and exceedingly cruel mentalities. Consequently, humanity has continuously accumulated profound defilements, whereas in ancient times, the original lifespan still reached 1,000 years.
However, over the past 2,000 years, as time and space have shifted, the once over-ten-foot-tall stature has gradually diminished. Human lifespans now fall short of a century, and the average height is only around 180 centimeters, with many even under 160 centimeters. One might say that "men over five feet tall" are now somewhat lacking in the context of present-day circumstances.
It must be understood: In the present era, the respiratory organs of all human beings, relying on the lungs, have already developed to maturity. Therefore, even if human beings end their lives prematurely due to bodily illnesses, what can be done about it? Alas! Moreover, they are unable to reduce their own actions from sinking into the mire of impurity!
The First Assembly for Methane Survival: All beings of feeling in the world return to the multitude.
This kind of long-lasting lifespan is exceedingly difficult to reclaim.
Predestined fate transforms mulberry fields into seas,  
Yet sentient beings find it hard to accept with ease.
Emerging technologies evolve through cycles of renewal, as the boundless grace of Heaven bestows its virtue far and wide.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement: When a being of the Three Purities essence, originating from the Earthly Nether Star System, breathes the fresh air of this realm, yet finds the lifespan of all living beings continually diminishing within a time and space where even a century is seldom reached—how then should humanity perceive this? Thank you all for accompanying this work. Gratitude to everyone. Farewell!
## Supreme Mother of the Void, Infinite Earth
Wuji, in Violet Robe, Avalokitesvara,  
Ascends the Silver Sage Platform to meet with sentiment.
May all be auspicious and well,
In this sublime moment, a new chapter unfolds.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Orthodox Chairman of our lineage, the Namo Void Supreme Virtue Human-Heaven Ancient Buddha, has descended once more to compose the twenty-ninth chapter of the Great Dao Three Purities. This chapter analyzes the Earthly Nether Star System and the Three Purities' gaseous forms, connecting with the previous work authored by Teacher Ji Buddha.
In ancient times, people lived for three thousand years, yet today, human life rarely reaches a century, and physical stature has been steadily diminishing. Can you comprehend the underlying issues here? Truly, it is profoundly difficult to grasp! The stark contrast brought about by pervasive impure thoughts and actions has indeed polluted the very space in which humanity exists.
It is quite difficult to fully understand the technology of ancient civilizations, and we are only at the very beginning. There are still many unknown obstacles ahead that need to be overcome. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow, giving yourselves the opportunity to rise and transcend. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Void Holy Light Immortal Maiden, Heavenly Holy Mother
The Southern Wei Star System, vast and profound,  
Pearls in the sea, their essence beyond doubt.
The ancient path of technology returns once more,  
Buddha embodies the qi of the Three Purities.
Sentient beings absorb the three pure qi.
When viewing the human world as a whole, the Earthly Nether Star System is primarily centered around the "Three Purity Qi." This trinity of purities nurtures and transforms, further intertwining with the Five Elemental Qi of the Central Land, ultimately forming a breath of life for all living beings. From a higher perspective, how might this be analyzed in relation to the entirety of the Earthly Nether Star System?
Originally, after receiving the illumination of the sun, it should be a relatively warm atmosphere. This can be understood: the closer one is to the land of the Diming star system, the warmer it becomes, while the higher the altitude, the colder it gets. Moreover, this type of qi is a distinction between a "vacuum state" and a "substantial void state."
This can be understood as follows: whether there is a difference between relying on the overall absorption of the dark star's atmosphere for the "state of true emptiness and the state of actual emptiness" has contributed to the fact that the Dark Star System operates in a remarkably rapid counterclockwise motion. Likewise, regarding the space of the Dark Star where life exists, human beings fundamentally cannot comprehend it.
Similarly, all living beings in the universe fundamentally lack perception of the rapid rotation of the entire Earth-Ming star system. If we consider its movement along the "equatorial and ecliptic" orbits, how does this affect the Earth-Ming star system? This very phenomenon constitutes a cyclical pattern of "rotation and revolution" for the Earth-Ming star system, following the rhythm of all living souls to nurture life.
The Cosmos and the Celestial Horizon Unveil the Star System of the Underworld
Within the operation of the entire cosmic galaxy system, most human beings are unable to comprehend the underlying principles and intricacies of this high-tech civilization knowledge. Regarding the entire Earth-Moon galaxy system, which relies on all living beings for its survival and attachment, such sentient beings are also integrated with a remarkably advanced technological civilization.
It is beyond the comprehension of human beings why, in the present era shaped by time and karma, the highly advanced technological civilizations of the first, second, and third kalpas have come to be integrated into human existence. This integration, however, has resulted in numerous deficiencies and shortcomings for sentient beings, further creating obstacles for them.
It is precisely the wisdom of "ancient technology and ancient civilization studies" that is being transplanted! Correspondingly, all are supported by the causes and conditions of past times and spaces, and are carried out through the overall formation of the subterrestrial star system. If using the technology of the past, humanity must have the capacity to absorb the "Three Pure Qi." Such conditions of causation are truly extraordinary!
Furthermore, with the three pure qi substances taking the "state of substantial emptiness and state of true emptiness" as their foundation, although they all serve to protect the Earth-Ming star system, within the lands and oceans where human beings dwell, the majority of "oxygen and carbon dioxide" have never been lacking in any period.
The State of True Emptiness and the State of Actual Emptiness
It can be directly absorbed by human beings or all living creatures. Without this breathable gas, both humanity and all living beings would struggle to survive. Therefore, within the spatial realm of the Diming star system, there exists a "solid void state," which also possesses the characteristics of a "true void state."
How is it that even sentient beings cannot fully comprehend the intricacies of all these causes and conditions? Why do the temperatures vary so greatly within the spatial realm of the Diming Star System? Thus, the closer one is to the land and oceans of Diming Star, the warmer it becomes; conversely, the higher the altitude, the colder the degree.
Can everyone discern the distinctions herein? It is indeed exceedingly difficult! There exists one kind of "vacuum state" and another kind of "substantial void state" in terms of temperature. Thus, human beings, all sentient beings, and the myriad living creatures of the world survive by nurturing life in relatively lower environments. In the Diming Star System, the higher the region, the greater the variation and disparity.
It is described in terms of the "state of emptiness" and the "state of substantiality": it can nurture all living beings in the world! This includes humanity and all sentient beings. Regarding such conditions of karma for all sentient beings, according to past beliefs, it is precisely the Heavenly Lord who resides in the vast cosmos and sky! From there, He can oversee all sentient beings.
Human beings are only suited for survival on the ground.
Little do people realize that the temperature above the sky is also extremely cold. Therefore, human beings cannot rely on a "vacuum state" as a basis for survival; they can only exist within a "substantial air state." Thus, both sentient human beings and all living creatures must depend on the "lung organs" of their bodies to breathe.
In the past, the environment was unpolluted, and human beings were simpler in nature. In today's industrial society, however, people have become more complex. Just as the human lungs can only accommodate a limited amount of air to sustain life, exceeding these limits can cause significant harm to the physical lungs.
Especially in the current era, under the influence of black resources, there are virtually no human beings left untouched by pollution! Humans often witness the severe contamination of the entire sky, compounded by the pollution of the land, and with the skies tainted as well, it is nearly impossible for humanity to remain untainted by such filth!
The original essence of the Three Pure Qi is thus, and so is the human world! The 19th century saw relatively little pollution, but in the 20th century, within just over a hundred years, all forms of pollution grew more severe. Now, in the current era, the great pollution of the 21st century has become even more terrifying and increasingly severe. No living being among humanity is spared.
All terrestrial and celestial stars pollute the human body.
All forms of pollution also inflict damage upon the Earth-Ming planetary system in the sky, causing layer upon layer of dark clouds to shroud the entire heavens. These pollutants ascend into the high altitudes of the Earth-Ming planetary system and seep into the soil, eventually flowing into the oceans. In the future, humanity and all living beings will face a widespread occurrence of "cancerous tumors."
It can be said that in every human being, cancer cells exist to a greater or lesser extent. For all sentient humans, many harmful afflictions have been sown. In the food chain of the present era, too many harmful additives have been introduced. These originate from "black resources" that exist within the land.
After each tilling of the land, farmers often do not thoroughly sun-dry the soil. Under such conditions, human beings tend to prefer crops that have not been damaged by pests. Similarly, in the present era, people also favor fruits and vegetables that appear "clean and attractive" and are free from insect bites.
Merchants deceive their conscience for the sake of what pleases the masses.
If one insists on only buying beautiful fruits and vegetables, it is important to understand that most of these likely contain high levels of pesticides. The presence of pesticides in produce is often justified by the claim that it allows for higher selling prices and better profits. Consequently, agricultural merchants naturally cater to this demand from the general public.
They thus sell against their conscience, offering fruits and vegetables that have not yet ripened in their due time. This is a preference chosen by humanity itself, and what can one do about it? For those beings who originally absorbed the "Three Pure Qi," most have now been entirely poisoned!
It merely becomes a matter of degree—whether slight or severe. Before the true advent of high-tech civilization, a portion of humanity in the current generation is already destined to face the demise caused by "cancerous tumors." Whether human beings can continue to exist comfortably in this world is indeed open to question.
The human body is governed primarily by the liver and kidneys.
It is essential to protect both the "liver and kidneys," which involves regularly consuming cooling and detoxifying teas. This practice also contributes to extending one's lifespan, allowing one to "trade time for space" in the future. By doing so, a damaged body can continue to survive. It is crucial first to preserve life, and then to heal the body.
Otherwise, in the present era, there are many inedible foods for humanity. These items may appear exceptionally bright and beautiful on the outside, yet contain highly toxic substances within, which are bound to affect the lives of sentient beings, leading to their premature demise. I believe no one wishes for their own life to end ahead of time.
This is the essence of the Three Pure Qi, which holds genuine necessity for all human beings. As for the original energy body concerning "inhalation and exhalation," how is it constituted? Everyone can then understand what the core issues are here! And why is it essential to grasp the entire sequence of events? Precisely because it requires "trading time for space"!
Beautiful fruits and vegetables may hide toxins, as is often seen in daily life.
Human desires seek beauty,  
Yet the essence lies in embracing both life and death from the very beginning.
The Qi of the Three Purities benefits all beings,  
Yet transforms into a sky filled with foul air.
The land's corruption breeds calamity, while humanity's ascension transcends the cycle.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement: The "Three Pure Qi" is essential for both humanity and all living beings to inhale and exhale. However, the entire Diming star system has long been polluted. In the recent thirty to fifty years, every being's body, to a greater or lesser extent, harbors cells of "cancerous tumors."
If such issues are not addressed early to prevent their spread, they will pose a red alert to all life. I hope everyone can consume more cooling, detoxifying teas and herbs to avoid being harmed by toxins prematurely. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship. Today, I have disturbed the Chongxin Sect for a night, and tomorrow I will set off to return to the heavens. Farewell, everyone!
## The Great Path Heart Sect's Master of Humanity and Heaven, the Immortal Maiden of the Nine Heavens, Mysterious Maiden
Limitless Blue-Robed Avalokitesvara,  
Golden Sage Bodhisattva gathers the sentient.
Ancient Buddha of the Southern Seas composes this work,  
Analyzing the toxins that invade the human heart.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, it is the original venerable Ancient Buddha of the South Sea, one of the principal immortals and buddhas of the Great Dao series, who has descended to compose the thirtieth installment of "The Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao." This presents a highly profound teaching opportunity regarding the sentient beings of the Earthly Nether Star System and their relationship with breathing.
For all human beings, it is essential to understand that the human world has long been contaminated by numerous toxins, and it is exceedingly difficult to alter this issue. Consequently, in the present era, every individual, to a greater or lesser extent, harbors toxic cells of "cancerous tumors." How, then, should we confront and resolve this problem?
It is essential to care for the body of every individual—this is the true path! In this present era, we must "exchange time for space," allowing everyone to attain a longer lifespan and reap the rewards of their efforts. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will come together to learn and grow, giving themselves an opportunity to ascend and transcend. Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
##Ancient Buddha of the Void, Pure Virtue, and Kindled Lamp
Few tread the scenic paths of Mount Li,  
Yet the Mother's grace blesses all living beings.
The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones, Chapter Thirty-One  
The Methane of the Netherworld Gradually Clears Away
The methane in the Diming star system has gradually dissipated.
Sentient beings entering the Di-Ming Star System to survive must possess a respiratory functional system. This causal condition requires the capacity for absorption. From the perspective of sentient beings, these are indeed a form of rather excellent energy bodies. Therefore, considering the first eon of the Di-Ming Star System, namely the "Eon of Stellar Evolution and the Crimson Dragon Eon."
Due to these causal conditions, there exists an abundance of "Methane-a" energy entities within the spatial realm of the Diming star system. In the present era, this "Methane-a" is regarded as a type of fuel substance. However, in ancient times, this was not the case, as this Methane-a gas served a protective function for sentient human beings.
Rather than being akin to the fuel bodies of the present human world, it does not rely on the "lungs" of the human body for respiration. Under such conditions, this poses a rather unfavorable burden on humanity. Moreover, considering the countless living beings that humanity has slaughtered over the past several millennia as the foundation of its food chain, the scale of this burden is indeed immense.
Regarding this perspective based on causal conditions: although it is correct, if we take all living beings as the benchmark of the food chain, there will inevitably be acts of killing. Moreover, such deeply sinful actions, accumulating karma like mountains, in the present time and space, when viewed from the perspective of sentient beings, mean using the bodies of species to sustain all living creatures.
Sentient beings cycle through repeated reincarnations.
This kind of killing behavior can hardly be considered a relatively benevolent benchmark. It can be said that since the establishment of the "Investiture of the Gods" in the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, humanity has consistently taken killing as its benchmark. Furthermore, examining the "Investiture of the Gods": it indiscriminately accepted both good and evil, leading to the continuous occurrence of all subsequent disasters.
For all sentient beings, when it comes to acts of greater slaughter, can everyone truly empathize? It is exceedingly difficult to comprehend! Because with each cycle of reincarnation, humans undergo transformations: humans become objects, objects then turn back into humans, men become women, women become men. Amidst these various limitations, they become the ones who are slaughtered, harboring a resentment born of unwillingness and reluctance.
Each shift in time and space, or every dynastic transition, involves exchanges—whether in Eastern or Western nations—that are invariably accompanied by acts of slaughter. How, then, do people perceive such acts of slaughter? They accumulate immense resentment, which saturates the Earthly Nether Star System, making it exceedingly difficult to dissolve or dispel.
If we consider such acts of killing from the perspective of all living beings: if you were the one being killed, would you willingly accept it? Throughout the rise and fall of each dynasty, as well as in all acts of killing in ordinary times, there must inevitably be many who are slain without cause. This holds true regardless of race or species—it is all the same!
The vicissitudes of time have wrought great changes.
There emerges a kind of entity: one that absolutely refuses to be slaughtered! It forms a venomous resentment, lingering repeatedly throughout the entire underworld star system, causing disturbances that cannot be vented or expelled. This intangible interference is completely invisible to humans, leaving them only able to understand that it is the source of all difficulties!
The Daming Star System exists within the First Cosmic Cycle. Among the "Stellar Evolution Cosmic Cycle" and the "Crimson Dragon Cosmic Cycle," many exist in the human world in the form of methane-a. This methane-a energy body is not a fuel source for the present human world, but rather a highly advanced form of absorbing energy.
It is precisely because it can create many benefits for humanity and all living beings, utilizing this high-tech "Methane A" within the physical body. In the past spacetime, Methane A was a non-combustible energy entity. After the entire first kalpa, each time the seas transformed into mulberry fields, what would happen then?
The formation of all favorable genes, which gradually decline over time, begins with the absorption of methane a during the second cosmic cycle: the Cycle of Favored Fortune and the Cycle of Transformation and Creation. This process manifests the lifespan of human beings, starting from 3,000 years in the first cosmic cycle and progressively decreasing to 1,500 years thereafter.
The variant genes in the Canghai have been continuously decreasing.
Furthermore, it gradually decreased to the point that each time the seas turned into mulberry fields, a significant amount of the methane gas absorbed by sentient beings would repeatedly dissipate. From this, one can understand that the "methane" of ancient times is not the same as the "methane" gas known to modern humanity, which is capable of combustion.
This perspective on the physical bodies of human beings suggests that, with each passing of vast ages—each transformation of oceans into mulberry fields—the collective positive energy of humanity continuously diminishes, gradually depleting all virtuous energies. Thus, what was originally a heart of great kindness in humanity, through repeated cycles of change, sinks ever deeper into the perilous depths of human malevolence.
All the favorable gases gradually dissipated as well; among the Three Pure Gases, there exists a type of energy source that is relatively more adaptable for the survival of human beings. The formation of the Three Pure Gases' energy was precisely created during the First Cosmic Cycle: the Era of Evolving Stars and the Red Dragon Era, giving rise to a generation of humanity with remarkably advanced technology.
This process of absorbing the gaseous essence also transforms into a protective function for the physical body. Moreover, in the human world, once the "field of conscience" dissipates, it forms an energy body each time, only to dissipate again and again. Due to these causal conditions, the energy of the true primordial Three Pure Gases no longer exists for the sentient beings of the present generation.
Humans on the planet Di Ming have a lifespan of three thousand years.
It transformed into ordinary human beings, merely capable of adapting to breathable gases. For human beings, this also meant that without a protective energy field, they would only be covered by a single layer of skin. Under such conditions, even a slight cut from a blade would cause bleeding.
Thus, there is no more genuine way to protect one's own energy body. Consequently, in the present era, human beings possess only a physical shell for protection. The functions of all internal organs, however, are sustained precisely because humans cruelly slaughter the bodies of other beings to ensure their own survival.
It has further transformed into a composition of the human food chain. Consequently, in the human world, people mistake the false for the true, and regard such acts of killing and harming life as "only natural." Moreover, in the present era, merchants and human beings alike desire food with an attractive appearance, leading to the increased use of additives.
This kind of practice has forced agricultural merchants, in their helplessness, to resort to dark resources—pesticides—to exterminate the small creatures residing within fruits and vegetables. This has led to a vicious cycle of mutation affecting all living beings, including humans. It is only in the last 30 to 50 years that humanity has found itself in a situation where virtually all food has become inedible!
It is quite difficult to compare human lifespans in ancient times with those of today.
If one consumes it, it will inevitably lead to the formation of cancerous tumors—what can humanity do then? If one abstains, life is quickly lost; if one chooses to eat, it merely delays the inevitable, and life will still fade away swiftly. This is the intricate cycle of natural law, transforming into the human realm, akin to drinking poison to quench one’s thirst.
The methane effect in the Diming star system refers to the fact that during the first cosmic cycle of the past—the Yanxing and Chiyuan cosmic cycle—humans could live for 3,000 years. In the present era, however, human lifespan has been reduced to merely a hundred years. Moreover, once the metabolic processes exceed half of this lifespan, the human body can no longer sustain the burden.
This causal condition, when observed by human beings: what can one do about it! It has precisely become methane from past spacetime, a substance of considerable high energy. Only after this energy is expelled through human emissions can one detect an "ammonia" odor, which is precisely what is discharged from the human body.
It is precisely the human beings who, with the gases emitted by "Methane A" from the first cosmic cycle in the past, also release the same "Ammonia" gas. This scientific evidence remains beyond the comprehension of human beings—why should this be so? Although this phenomenon of "Methane A–Ammonia" presents yet another profound and puzzling question!
Methane energy safeguards the human body.
Human beings possess a lifespan of up to 3,000 years. This form of energy body, which has yet to be verified by contemporary scientists, constitutes the fundamental condition necessary for sustaining the human body over such an extended period. Does this notion strike everyone as astonishing? Indeed, it is only natural!
This causal condition has not yet been verified even by contemporary scientists. Regarding "Methane A," which exists in the human world as ammonia, from the perspective of human lifespan: it constitutes a highly advanced technological and civilizational energy entity, and also forms the gas present on Saturn's Titan II.
It is through the "Methane A" energy entity that we can comprehend how, after several billion years, the technological civilization of Titan has advanced to a level thousands of times beyond that of the Earth-Moon system. How is such a scientific principle possible? From the perspective of current technology, it is utterly inconceivable and beyond our existing conceptual framework.
With today's technology, our attempt to glimpse the entirety of the universe is still in its infancy. Therefore, we must avoid being like "a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the sky," hoping to swiftly comprehend the vastness of the entire cosmic galaxy. It is precisely the many unimaginable wonders that drive human technology to develop and manifest itself truthfully and completely.
Only then can a benevolent technological civilization emerge, one that truly benefits all sentient beings and humanity. This is the compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven, which will greatly elevate and transcend all living beings in the Earthly Realm, including humanity. Moreover, it will provide long-term protection for the human body.
Earthly methane is energy,  
Yet sentient beings are not the same.
Absorbing breath to sustain life, with genes enduring for three thousand years.
Methane is an absorbing agent; this type of fuel is difficult to clarify.
Different principles shape growth; transformation becomes the covenant of virtue and fortune.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement. The "methane gas" from the first cosmic cycle, the Star-Evolving and Red Dragon cosmic cycles, is similar in energy to today's "ammonia." Analyzed by modern scientists, it is a highly advanced energy-absorbing gas that can benefit all living beings.
This type of "methane gas" is precisely what endows sentient beings of affection with the potential for a three-thousand-year lifespan as an energy body. Can everyone comprehend this? It is not certain! Reflect deeply on all the causes and conditions involved. Thank you all for accompanying me in this work. Today, I will stay overnight at the Chongxin Sect, troubling everyone and toiling you all. Farewell!
##Supreme Dao Ancestor   Celestial Worthy of the Way and Virtue
The Bodhisattva of Infinite Wisdom and Compassion, Avalokitesvara, ascends the platform to meet all sentient beings.
Throughout the entire Underworld star system, methane energy forges the new.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, it is the Venerable Mother of Mount Li from the Void Wuji who has descended to compose the thirty-first chapter of "The Great Dao's Three Purities." The methane-a energy bodies of the Earthly Nether Star System have long been gradually depleting in the current era, making it exceedingly difficult for humanity to comprehend all origins.
Only a small portion of it is applied in the human world. How can the wisdom of human beings comprehend such advanced technological knowledge and concepts? It is only through the analysis provided by the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" that one can fully understand the intricacies and origins of these ideas. Moreover, such concepts will bring great benefits to the teachings of the Chongxin Sect and its followers.
This kind of causal condition, in the training of teachers, must be genuinely comprehended as it is. The mysteries and key insights within it can then truly benefit oneself, leading to growth and elevation. Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! It is indeed time to work hard. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell for now!

The Great Dao: Three Purities, Thirty-Second Chapter  
The Changing Causes of Seas into Mulberry Fields
The terrestrial and celestial constellations have undergone numerous transformations amidst the vast seas.
The evolution of the Great Dao unfolds through the conditions of heaven, earth, and the oceans, which guide the orientation of human existence. This process is precisely shaped by the first cosmic cycle: the Cycle of Stellar Evolution and the Cycle of the Crimson Dragon; the second cosmic cycle: the Cycle of Auspicious Favor and the Cycle of Creation; and further refined by the third cosmic cycle: the Cycle of Accumulated Transmission and the Cycle of Virtuous Expansion.
In the current era of time and space, the majority of "Methane A" has been reduced by over ninety-five percent, leaving only about five percent remaining in the present generation. If we examine this type of energy entity from the perspective of past cosmic cycles: why could humans once live for three thousand years, while in the current time and space, lifespans barely reach a century?
The primary factor in this is the capacity for discernment; moreover, the mindset and perceptions within the human world have gradually become increasingly tainted and malicious. Consequently, after the first cosmic cycle, humanity has transformed into an energy entity that, within the entire spatial realm of the Dark Nebula Galaxy, grows progressively more diminished.
It is understandable that the original meaning of this connotation might be perplexing. It inevitably leads to the question that most human beings cannot fully comprehend: why, in the entire Earthly Nether Star System, during the first cosmic era of the past, could human beings exist for a lifespan of 3,000 years? This phenomenon is attributed to the presence of "Methane A" gas within the space of the Earthly Nether Star.
The lungs of the human body are responsible for inhaling air.
In ancient times, human beings did not rely on their physical lungs to breathe air. Therefore, humans developed a dependence on "Methane A," surviving without the need for lung-based respiration. Thus, under such conditions, it became essential for humans to rely on "Methane A" gas for survival.
Existing within the Dark Star System as a vessel of absorption, this form of spacetime no longer relies on "lungs" for respiration. Instead, the body expels and absorbs a substance known as "Methane A," precisely drawing in all Methane A gases through the pores. Thus, it becomes possible to discern why sentient beings possess the function of Methethane A gases.
It can be understood that human beings possess physical bodies, but they do not necessarily rely on lungs for respiration. When transformed into beings of this particular spacetime, humans absorb methane-a energy bodies, thereby forming a more advanced gaseous energy. For the human beings of the current era, it is possible to breathe without depending on the "lungs."
A "turtle breathing method" can then be applied, enabling human beings to extend their lifespan. Although some have studied this "turtle breathing method," many foundational techniques have been lost. It is necessary to retrieve them once more, as this can elevate one's approach to existence and bring about benefits that foster upward growth.
The Taoist turtle breathing technique can prolong one's lifespan.
In the current era, there is no longer a need to rely on food and drink to sustain the survival of the physical body. This shift from past practices can reduce pollution within the food chain, thereby minimizing the harmful additives present in each modern "food chain" cycle. Consequently, it helps prevent the generation of toxins that would otherwise harm and diminish one's own life.
Furthermore, regarding the reduction of "the transformations brought about by the vicissitudes of time," this issue persists across all different cosmic cycles. Each time the seas turn into mulberry fields—a span of approximately three to four hundred million years—human beings become increasingly defiled, leading to hearts growing ever more malicious. This surpasses the conditions of every era: each cycle is worse than the last.
This kind of process, derived from the grace of Heaven, does not function in such a manner. Therefore, through each era of "seas turning into mulberry fields" in time and space, as human beings undergo transformation after transformation, cycle after cycle, it can be said that the entire Earthly Nether Star System has experienced numerous major and minor changes across many cycles.
In each cosmic cycle, there are hundreds of minor and major transformation processes. Even during minor transformations, the energy forms from the previous cycle do not completely vanish. However, during major transformations—such as the vast shifts where oceans turn into mulberry fields—the methane a from the previous cycle sinks deep into the earth, and everything must begin anew in the next cycle.
The energy of the human body is boundless.
This causal condition is by no means something that can be restored to normal in a short period of time. Sentient beings possess a kind of bodily energy that is constantly diminishing and transforming, causing the energy body of humanity to grow progressively weaker with each cycle. Consider this: after the seas have turned into mulberry fields, can they quickly return to their original state? It is exceedingly difficult!
This transformation of vast oceans into mulberry fields, having undergone over a hundred major and minor variations, along with the gradual dissipation of methane on Diming Star, presents a considerable destructive force for sentient human beings. Therefore, beings of relatively higher consciousness will understand: the living space that exists in the human world has already become difficult to inhabit comfortably.
Regarding this Earthly Nether Star System, it is becoming increasingly unsuitable as a living space for all human beings. All higher-level beings in this human world are gradually departing from the Earthly Nether Star System, migrating to other planets to sustain their existence. Thus, after the explosion at the end of the first kalpa, the consequences will be truly terrifying!
More than half of the planet Di-Ming coalesced into a massive celestial body, which was cast toward the vicinity of Saturn. Through this process, the energy expelled from Di-Ming gradually dissipated, and even before reaching Saturn, it had already diminished to less than half of its original mass. Can such cosmic astronomical technology be comprehended? It is indeed exceedingly difficult!
The vicissitudes of time and change can erode good genes.
Sentient beings, by their very nature, cannot fully comprehend the intricate causes and effects of all events; how, then, can they achieve a higher level of civilization and evolution? It requires a vast span of time and the alignment of conditions to reach the necessary state of growth. Restoration to the original state cannot be accomplished in mere centuries, nor can it be guaranteed by altering present circumstances alone.
The issue of the diminishment brought about by the vicissitudes of time, such as the transformation of seas into mulberry fields, lies in the fact that the collective energy clusters of outer space will diminish those who depart, much like the meteor showers observed in the present era, which are also manifestations of this phenomenon. Do people generally assume that meteor showers are merely a multitude of luminous energy bodies radiating light? In truth, this is not the case!
Before reaching their destination, many significant obstacles already exist for these energetic entities, causing them to gradually diminish along the way. Their lethal actions in outer space are particularly destructive, ultimately transforming them into meteor showers. To observers on Earth, they appear as rare and wondrous astronomical phenomena.
The brilliance of a meteor shower lasts but an instant.
Yet it remains unknown how people perceive these energy entities (space debris) in the outer reaches of the contemporary cosmic galaxy system—these remnants left behind by meteor showers, which are essentially all the dust derived from collisions within the current celestial realm of the universe as they streak across the sky.
After the collision that formed the meteor shower, the resulting ashes were completely invisible to everyone. This astronomical phenomenon can indeed be observed with modern telescopes, but it is by no means visible at any time or place—unless these energy bodies colliding in outer space recognize that all ashes are also energy bodies.
In contrast, these minuscule energy entities are invisible to all. Where do they go after passing through so swiftly? Can they be accurately discerned based on the theoretical concepts understood by humanity? This is rather improbable! For within these energy entities exists the energy of "methane A," which is exceedingly vast!
The cosmic horizon is truly boundless in its vastness.
Regarding the entirety of outer space, it is an immensely vast source of energy, which contemporary scientists find difficult to comprehend. The clusters of colliding meteors leave behind a universal energy entity—methane A. All that exists, in relation to humanity and all sentient beings, currently resides within the spatial realm of the Earthly Dark Star System. How, then, does this come to be?
It is precisely because the overall energy of the Three Pure Ones exists that humanity has come to rely on the "human lungs" for breathing in the current era. Yet this "ancient astronomy" is profoundly difficult for humanity to comprehend. Without the guidance of immortal and buddha teachers descending from afar to analyze and illuminate it, how could humanity ever come to understand?
How can one comprehend such causes and conditions, and grasp all the underlying reasons? It is not an easy task! It is necessary to wait until scientists in the present era can research and uncover these truths. By then, everyone will have already ascended and transcended, able to await these technological changes in the heavens, which will bring beneficial outcomes for all!
Methane gas is energy, yet its nature differs from ancient times to the present.
Absorption does not rely on the lungs; the body expels and absorbs well.
Methane exists within meteor showers, embodying the energy of the entire cosmos.
What are everyone's thoughts and feelings? Ancient technological studies can reveal the details.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; it dissects a supreme opportunity that has never been bestowed throughout the ages. By reflecting on whether the works analyzed by the immortal and buddha teachers can be comprehended by everyone in the present moment, does it greatly enhance wisdom for all? This understanding may then surpass that of today's scientists in swiftly grasping the entire context and origins.
The space of the Earthly Obscurity Star is but a single grain of sand within the vast cosmic celestial realm, yet it is filled with all the ignorant tendencies of humanity, which are exceedingly difficult to comprehend! Everyone must strive to ascend, elevate, and transcend, rather than drifting and cycling through other worlds. Thank you all for your efforts and companionship in this work. We apologize for troubling the Chongxin Sect for a time. Farewell!
##Tongtian Jiaozhu  Lingbao Tianzun
The Sacred Light of the Void ascends the dais;  
The Holy Mother of Heaven returns once more.
The Three Pure Scrolls of the Great Dao were written,  
Truly, the celestial mysteries stir profound emotion.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Supreme Empress of the Void Wuji Earth Mother has personally descended to compose the thirty-second chapter of "The Great Dao's Three Purities," providing a clear analysis of the root causes behind the "transformation of seas into mulberry fields and the reduction of mutations" within the energy body.
This allows everyone to gain greater clarity and wisdom, which is made possible by the collective reverence of the Chongxin lineage, creating the exceptional conditions for transformative teachings. This will greatly enhance one's knowledge for the future. Tomorrow is Saturday, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. Moreover, tomorrow evening offers the auspicious occasion of a lecture by the Chan master. Let us all come together to learn and grow!
Regarding the concerns everyone has expressed, whether it pertains to the demonic origins within the cosmic Dao, an analysis of the subsequent writings in the Three Pure Heavens Scriptures of the Dao might lead one to believe they are merely past ideologies. However, it is important to recognize that these represent a highly advanced level of knowledge and wisdom, elevating understanding to a transcendent plane! Correspondingly, embracing this will yield profound benefits.
Everyone must keep this firmly in mind, so as not to find themselves regretting in the future that "when the need arises, it is too late to lament its scarcity"! Such favorable conditions and opportunities are truly rare! They will bring great benefit to oneself, so it is essential to study diligently and cherish them well. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!
##Chongxin Sect Lineage - Void Fortune Virtue Bright King
The Great Dao's Heart Sect, Master Ren presides,
With the Nine Heavens' Mystic Maiden's virtuous will overseeing.
Series of Celestial Texts, Thirty-Third Chapter:  
The Changing Seas, Genes Transformed and Unique
The land of the underworld holds many tales of vast changes over time.
After the seas transformed into mulberry fields, within the spatial realm of the Diming star system, different cosmic eras were established. These distinct eras passed through the first half of the first cosmic era: the Evolving Stars Era, and the second half: the Crimson Dragon Era; followed by the first half of the second cosmic era: the Auspicious Blessing Era, and the second half: the Creation and Transformation Era, each forming unique pivotal points.
Concerning the superior genes of human beings, even these undergo mutations, resulting in an inability to achieve further virtuous enhancement. Once a mutation occurs, it buries the previously superior genes beneath the Earthly Nether Star System. Therefore, from the perspective of the current Earthly Nether Star System, this is precisely a fundamental factor that prevents upward growth.
After passing through the first half of the third cosmic cycle: the Era of Accumulation, and the latter half: the Era of Virtue Expansion, humanity still possesses a kind of genetic essence that is relatively unable to inherit the virtuous genes from the previous cosmic cycle. The entire lineage has thus been buried deep underground, and this genetic essence of humanity has already been lost.
It is precisely because the superior genetic traits from the previous cosmic cycle were used to diminish many of the excellent inherent qualities, which is a rather regrettable matter for the human world. Consequently, it becomes difficult for humanity to comprehend why, after the first cosmic cycle when seas turned into mulberry fields, each subsequent cycle has seen a continuous erosion of these superior genetic traits.
The genetic makeup of humanity has been in continuous decline.
Nor will there be the same genes as in the past. Therefore, in the formation of human beings, it is impossible to possess the superior genes from the first half and second half of the First Kalpa. However, human beings can utilize the energy body of "Methane A" to harness the entire space of the Diming Star System, thereby benefiting all sentient beings.
This methane gas, precisely identical to the "Three Pure Gases," shares the same fundamental genetic essence. Manifesting throughout the entire Dark Star System, it holds significant preventive functions against the occurrence of bodily diseases for humanity. Moreover, the lifespan of human beings may thereby extend to as many as three thousand years.
Thereafter, the presence of all superior genes began to gradually diminish. Thus, by the first half of the second kalpa, the gravitational influence of the Yuechen star system upon the spatial realm of the Diming star system gave rise to a differentiation between yin and yang. This differentiation served a function of clear and tangible distinction, thereby bringing about the various transformations across different kalpas.
The mutation of the vast seas and the reduction of genes—such causal conditions, as humanity has only just begun to address within the fundamental framework of the "Three Pure Qi Essence," have already diverged from the first cosmic cycle, both its earlier and later phases. This transformation, which shapes the shifting landscapes across the entire Dark Star System, is something humanity seldom encounters.
The vicissitudes of time have diminished the favorable genes.
Most of them had already perished long before the seas transformed into mulberry fields. Therefore, what human beings could witness during this transformation was an exceedingly rare sight. Only by departing from the underworld star system and returning to their original homeland could one observe the entire process of change.
This condition has long since mutated, burying all past species beneath the earth. This kind of qi gas has become the survival genes of human beings, continuously eroding many excellent inherent qualities. Especially since the beginning of the third kalpa, without the analysis and verification by the exalted beings of the upper realm, how could one truly comprehend it?
Regarding the grand transformation of seas into mulberry fields, if humanity wishes to use current technology to observe all changes from previous cosmic cycles, how would it be possible? Given that such transformations occur roughly every three to four hundred million years, with variations of different scales across cycles, can humanity truly comprehend the changes that followed the last great transformation?
Regarding the previous cosmic cycle, how much is truly understood about how everything came to be? This transformation is precisely the process of seas turning into mulberry fields. In particular, considering the historical records of Ma Xiangu, Vice Chairwoman of the Chongxin Sect lineage—such as the legend of "Magu Offering Longevity"—it is recorded that she has appeared a total of seven times. If each cycle spans approximately three to four hundred million years, this already amounts to 2.8 billion years.
The vicissitudes of each cosmic cycle
You may now discern, what is the age and lifespan of Vice-Chairman Ma Xiangu of the Chongxin Sect lineage? Moreover, this karma, in relation to all sentient beings, fundamentally cannot be fully understood in terms of its origins and consequences! If we consider the period after the second kalpa, every three to four hundred million years in time and space, there is bound to be a great transformation.
This kind of variation arises from certain causes and conditions. If human beings and sentient beings could possess longer lifespans, or if they had already attained enlightenment as sages, buddhas, or exalted beings, they would be able to comprehend that every three to four hundred million years, a great transformation occurs. Within this cycle, there are also numerous lesser and greater vicissitudes, such as the shifting of seas into mulberry fields. The sentient beings of the present era, however, merely exist within the span of this single century.
Sentient beings of affection, what is there to dispute? What is there to compare? How does the lifespan of all beings—whether they are ordinary humans or those who have ascended to become sages, immortals, Buddhas, or high-level bodhisattvas—fare in this regard? If one wishes to understand the entirety of different cosmic cycles from beginning to end, it is indeed rare to fully comprehend all evolutions and the complete process of transformation.
Therefore, for all sentient beings, regardless of any level or realm, all sages, immortals, Buddhas, high-level deities, and Bodhisattvas can only be verified within a single temporal cycle. Few are able to discern the origins and outcomes across all cycles, as their existence does not span such extensive lifespans, and their understanding is likewise constrained.
How many among the multitude of human beings can truly comprehend?
The mutation of the vast sea and the reduction of genes have given rise to humanity, a species inherently incapable of elevating its "heart-nature and spiritual nature." Consequently, their existence is confined to a mere span of time and space, fundamentally unable to attain lasting fulfillment in relation to the Earthly Dark Star System. This system, in fact, operates through the absorption and interaction of the "Three Pure Qi Energies."
Thus, after the third cosmic era, the entire Dark Star System began to harbor the "Three Pure Qi Essences," which permeated all existence within it. Consequently, all living beings have remained confined within the cycle of repeated rebirths. How many among them can ascend, grow, and transcend these limitations? Very few indeed!
This existence of sentient beings within the celestial realm of the Earthly Dark Star System is precisely due to a mutually sustaining, breathable gas. It is this that has formed human beings, who, from the latter half of the third cosmic cycle, have relied on the "lungs of the body" to inhale air, thereby enabling the functioning of the bodily organs of humanity in the present era.
Gradually, it becomes clear that within the entire body, survival depends on the sustenance provided by the food chain—this is true for humanity and all living beings alike! What humanity can perceive is reliance on "natural selection," while for all creatures, existence is fundamentally based on the "food chain."
Survival of the fittest is the fundamental condition.
This causal condition originated from the beginning of the Third Kalpa, when the destruction of other species to sustain human life became the means of survival. This behavior of "natural selection" through slaughter grew even more pronounced in the latter half of the Third Kalpa, with killings within the food chain becoming increasingly severe.
In the formation of human beings, they originally sustained themselves without the need for food, surviving solely by inhaling air—specifically methane gas—and possessed a lifespan of three thousand years, which gradually diminished over time. During the first and second cosmic cycles, the technological civilizations that existed did not rely on acts of killing, yet still maintained a "food chain" mechanism for sustenance.
Moreover, constrained by the current era, it is through widespread killing that human beings are sustained merely for food and survival. Human lifespan has also declined from 1,500 years to less than 100 years. If this were before the Third Kalpa, such beings within the food chain could survive by absorbing "pills" and would possess healthy bodies.
Human beings, in their pursuit of satiating hunger, have only just eaten their fill when, before long, they must eat again. This incessant need perpetuates acts of killing. As a result, with each cycle of time's vast transformations, the superior genetic traits of the previous era gradually diminish. Ignorant obstacles to these genes also emerge one after another, becoming a persistent source of distress for humanity.
The human world is where the essence of the Three Purities exists.
Within this type of "Three Pure Qi-Energy Body," the entirety of the Dim Star is referred to as such: there exists a type of energy from a certain realm of existence, yet for the most part, it remains beyond comprehension. What, then, is the nature of the qi-energy body of the entire Dim Star System? If one gazes toward the heavens to observe: what exactly is this qi that exists, and what does it constitute within the Dim Star System?
It is merely a vague "white radiance." This "white radiance" is fundamentally based on the seven colors of the rainbow, and its manifestation in the sky—whether it appears enhanced or diminished—depends on which hues are blended into it. In most cases, what is visible is simply a clear sky.
These masses of Sanqing qi remain suspended in the atmosphere several tens of thousands of meters above, forming patches of dark clouds that obscure the clear sky. Thus, the overall accumulation of dark cloud qi gradually veils the heavens, creating the conditions for the dark energy to surge upward. Can modern technology and humanity comprehend this phenomenon?
That is to say, the black clouds that exist in the mid-air are actually caused by the harmful killing gases produced by humanity! Moreover, regarding this cosmic knowledge, human beings are unable to comprehend the full context and origins behind it. The primary reason for the overall "dark clouds obscuring the sky" is precisely the killings committed by humanity in the past!
Where black mists shroud the sky, there must be grievances lingering.
Furthermore, as the "dark aura shrouding the sky" has already manifested, all acts of killing committed by humanity and sentient beings will also be concealed within the spatial realm of the Earthly Nether Star System. Which scientist or human being could possibly comprehend the full chain of cause and effect? Precisely because the malevolent aura generated by humanity’s acts of killing will continue to shroud the entire space of the Earthly Nether Star!
When will the time come for the reduction of slaughter among human beings? Such sins, like mountains, create an aura of malevolent energy, and the myriad sentient beings of the world cannot comprehend: why does the gravitational pull of the moon and stars simultaneously give rise to the destructive forces of "typhoons and hurricanes" in the oceans of the Earth-Ming star system?
It is to eradicate the killing behavior among all human beings and cleanse the mountain-like burdens of sin and wrongdoing! This kind of transformation, which has not descended upon the human world for thousands of years, is often perceived by humanity in this era of technological civilization as a natural phenomenon. Yet within it lie all forms of harmful slaughter and resentment. How many can truly comprehend this? It is exceedingly difficult!
Earth's mutations lie in genes,  
Human concepts struggle to grasp their scenes.
The sin of slaughter towers like a mountain;  
A typhoon sweeps through, guiding clear currents to flow.
The vast seas and mulberry fields transform anew,  
As fine energies wane and diminish in their course.
Sentient beings must transcend,  
Do not linger on the star of Earth's darkness.
This verse is shared with all sentient beings as mutual encouragement; it elucidates part of the intricate origins of the latest technological civilization in the human world, which is difficult to analyze against the backdrop of three thousand years of time, as well as the flawed genes of the present. It enables all human beings to discern: how to recognize the necessity of striving for upward growth from within themselves!
This extraordinary celestial opportunity and profound mystery has once again descended to be imparted to all. Such a rare chance seldom occurs in the human world. Only the Chongxin lineage possesses the ability to unveil this celestial secret, aiming to benefit all sentient beings in the future. Therefore, it is essential to cherish it dearly. Thank you all for your hard work and companionship in this endeavor. Farewell for now!
##Three Pure Ones Patriarch  Primordial Heavenly Worthy
Buddha of Pure Virtue in the Void, the Lamp-Lighter,  
Followed the Master and returned to his work.
The lineage of the Heart Reverence School greatly expands, offering a true and thorough analysis of the scientific framework.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and fellow students of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today, the Celestial Master of the Human and Heavenly Sects of the Great Tao Heart School, the Immortal Maiden Jiutian Xuannü, has returned to the Chongxin Sect lineage to compose the thirty-third chapter of "The Great Tao and the Three Pure Ones." This chapter analyzes the causes and conditions behind the transformation of the vast seas and the difficulty in sustaining genetic continuity, allowing everyone to understand the essence contained within this volume.
It is precisely the knowledge of a highly advanced technological civilization that can thoroughly comprehend the interconnectedness of all worldly phenomena—earth, water, fire, and wind. Through the interplay of earth, water, and wind, we are compelled to broaden our understanding, to discern reality as it truly is, and to genuinely elevate ourselves. Only then can we achieve true benefit and reap substantial rewards.
Tomorrow is Wednesday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! Additionally, the content of the later Heavenly Texts will increasingly reflect higher technological civilizations. This is analyzed through "ancient astronomy and ancient technology studies," allowing everyone to understand how it contributes to their present growth. Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!

The Thirty-Fourth Cycle of the Dao Universe: The Causes of the Three Purities Beneath the Atmosphere
The Three Pure Qi of the Diming Star System
Sentient beings entering the current era still face many issues stemming from ignorance and obstacles. Regarding the human world, many scientists find it difficult to align with the logical thinking and knowledge frameworks of science, making it challenging to integrate and connect with the evolutionary progress of technological civilization. This necessitates a prolonged period for thorough comprehension and synthesis with past cosmic cycles.
Regarding the first cosmic cycle of the Earthly Obscure Star System: the cycles of stellar evolution and the Red Dragon, as well as the second cosmic cycle: the cycles of auspicious favor and creative transformation, human beings have no means to fully comprehend all the various evolutions therein. As for how such modes of thought and concepts evolve, they inevitably manifest in the human world, where one can only rely on the prevailing ideologies and notions of the current era.
If one seeks the evolution of ancient civilization technologies, it is still necessary to properly draw upon evidence. In the past cosmic cycles, there existed a rather high-level realm of thought—one that did not rely solely on the knowledge and wisdom of the current Earthly Nether Star System. Within the human world, many obscure problems arise, requiring personal realization.
This is precisely a rather necessary issue to be analyzed truthfully as it is. Therefore, the formation of these contradictory issues cannot be fully understood merely through contemporary scientific logic. This is because it contains many mysteries of the entire cosmic galaxy, which must await humanity to uncover.
Beneath the atmosphere, humans inhale oxygen.
In the spatial realm of the Diming Star System, within the atmosphere lies the "Three Pure Qi Energy." Regarding the many past Taoist classics, all origins and developments have already been thoroughly analyzed and elucidated with great clarity. As such, this celestial text will not redundantly reiterate past explanations. Instead, it will employ the science of a highly advanced technological civilization to provide verification.
To analyze the current ignorance and obstacles faced by all human beings within the entire Earthly Nether Star system, this causal condition provides a relatively authentic understanding for humanity. This is because, according to the verification of contemporary scientists, the issues within the space of the Earthly Nether Star have only been grasped to less than one percent.
Moreover, this is merely one in a thousand. Why does the atmosphere within the entire Dark Star System become saturated with the energy of the "Three Pure Qi," that is, the existence of the "Three Pure Qi" of the Great Dao's Primordial Breath? Due to the relatively early establishment of the nation by the descendants of Yan and Huang in the Central Plains, this has endowed the human world with even greater richness.
From the perspective of the overall history of Western civilization: this universe was created by the Western Heavenly Father Zeus for the entire underworld star system. This notion holds a considerable degree of correctness, yet it inadvertently overlooks the explanation from the Central Land, which states that the creation of heaven and earth was entirely orchestrated by the ancient ancestor Pangu.
Various arguments arise from different circumstances.
These various arguments, regardless of any specific time, space, or circumstances, all find ample verification. Additionally, within Daoism, there are doctrines centered on the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, while others take the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Ancestor Hongjun, or the Supreme Mysterious Being as their respective focal points, each supported by theories corresponding to different times and contexts.
This is the variation across different cosmic cycles and times, where all interactions applied within the human realm also possess distinct temporal and causal conditions, supporting all orientations of existence. Therefore, there is no need to dwell on who is right or wrong, for the overall development of the underworld star system can indeed be verified by scientists in the human realm!
However, this spans only 4.6 billion years of time. If we consider the entire Diming star system, its existence has already exceeded 6.4 billion years. Should another scientist one day propose and verify a theory, it might reveal that the entire cosmic galaxy has been formed over tens or even hundreds of billions of years.
Thus, humanity cannot gain a clearer and more accurate understanding, and therefore, within the current time and space and its conditions, it remains merely as it is. To aspire for a longer span of time and era, this involves the reconfiguration following the explosion of the Di Ming star system—a point of issue that contemporary technological civilization is unable to comprehend.
The essence of the Three Pure Ones is precisely what humanity breathes.
The formation of the enveloping "Three Pure Qi Body" around the entire Earth-Ming star system is something that can be verified by the scientific and technological civilization of contemporary humanity. In this way, how can the integration of the Earth-Ming star system's "Three Pure Qi Body" with the operation of the entire cosmos bring about even greater benefits?
All the surging and roaring waves in the oceans are created by a kind of oxygen gas. The formation of this oxygen gas has a great soothing effect on human beings. Humanity can realize that all changes within the oceans also give rise to the tides of the "moon and stars," thus forming an interconnected relationship.
Moreover, the gathering of dark clouds in the sky, precisely when the sky is overcast, is something most people would assume merely indicates impending rain. This is the knowledge and perception of ordinary human beings. Little do they realize that, within the entirety of a clear and pure sky, it is precisely the absence of any dark clouds to obscure the view that represents the true path.
However, having traversed all these 6.4 billion years, when existence in the human world reached the first kalpa, after deducting 1.8 billion years, the second kalpa was formed. All that existed in the sky was a vast expanse of white mist and clouds, and for this reason, there was no such thing as a sky overcast with dark clouds.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the rain carried a purifying essence.
Everyone can understand this: amidst the dense clouds that blanket the sky, there gather many invisible resentful spirits. This convergence of karma brings together the lingering grievances from the rise and fall of past dynasties, including countless souls who were unjustly slain. Their unresolved hatred binds them together, forming a collective of vengeful spirits.
It transforms into many dark clouds that pervade time and space. These are, in essence, the accumulated grievances and hatred of countless resentful spirits that have persisted since ancient times, unable to fade away. When the waters of the ocean tides are cast into the sky, these vast, invisible barriers arise. Can everyone understand the nature of this issue? Where do all these obstacles lie?
Within the vast atmosphere of the Three Pure Qi, how many among humanity and all living beings can truly comprehend: the ocean tides serve as guardians of the "Great Dao's unfolding," ensuring the stability of this entire Earthly Nether Star System. They also carry into action all the karmic debts and affections accumulated by sentient beings throughout countless ages, finding an outlet in the expanse of the sky!
It also tends to cause relatively less significant interference toward all human beings. However, when the situation becomes too severe, it can lead to a "dynastic change," starting anew. This phenomenon is not limited to Western or Chinese nations; since the era of the Investiture of the Gods in the Zhou Dynasty, all have been subject to such disruptive issues. What can one do about it?
The hole in the ozone layer is a calamity for humanity.
It is also true that within the entire atmosphere, which exists precisely as the "Qi of the Three Pure Ones," there is a compassionate grace from the heavens bestowed upon all sentient human beings, protecting their physical forms. Thus, in the present era, the various delusions and obstacles of humanity have formed, creating a situation akin to "drinking poison to quench thirst."
It will lead to an excessive exploitation of black resources, creating an obstacle where extremes beget reversal. At some point, humanity has inflicted harm upon the entire Diming star system, with nations around the Pacific Ocean particularly affected. Moreover, "Taiwan and the Divine Continent mainland" have become both the most severe perpetrators and victims of this destruction.
Across all food chains, the ability to sustain life is gradually diminishing, and what remains is merely a struggle for survival. What humanity must understand is this: in just about a hundred years, how severe has been the damage inflicted by humans upon the atmosphere? In ancient times, the goddess Nüwa mended the heavens; now, in this modern era, it is time for such a feat to be undertaken once more!
However, after being ravaged by the ignorance of humanity, the ozone layer's holes have repeatedly expanded and grown larger. The temperature beneath this atmospheric layer is exceedingly cold, as frigid as leaving the Earth-Ming star system, yet within the overall atmosphere, the "Three Pure Qi gases" exist, meaning it is not the "vacuum state" of outer space.
The Moon's gravitational pull governs the Earth's tides.
Human beings are formed and can only survive within the "substantial void state" of the atmosphere. How can sentient beings comprehend all the causes and consequences? It has been this way since the destruction of the atmosphere, compounded further by the countless calamities of ignorance created by humanity, which have continuously emerged and brought harm upon themselves.
Such issues cannot be remedied by humanity alone; they must await the next cycle of "borrowed opportunities" in the karmic flow to be genuinely resolved. Moreover, in such a temporal and causal context, is humanity truly capable of withstanding the impacts of natural and man-made disasters? Particularly when it comes to the loss of life caused by "cancerous tumors"!
It is precisely by trading time for space that true protection of the physical form can be achieved. This is accomplished through the "Three Pure Qi Energy Body," which permeates the entire atmospheric layer of the Earthly Nether Star System and the ocean tides. All human beings and myriad living creatures exist within it. It is essential to understand: this calamity is precisely what humanity itself has brought about!
It is not that the heavens are unmerciful, nor that they lack the foresight to transform the causes and conditions of time and space. Rather, it is because the grace of the heavens cannot keep pace with the repeated destruction wrought by humanity. What else can be done? The only recourse is to delay the calamities of the underworld star system, thereby genuinely protecting all sentient beings and their precious lives.
The gases within the atmosphere  
Are perfectly suited for human respiration.
The black miasma in the sky creates the utmost evil,  
While the ocean tides transform into pure energy.
The world of humanity must undergo change, for dark resources bring mutual harm.
Free from the invasion of tumors,  
One is certain to preserve a long and healthy life.
This verse! It is shared with all sentient beings for mutual encouragement; for the human race, there is a significant issue—the "ozone layer hole" within the atmosphere. It has been patched again and again, repeatedly mended, yet human beings continue to destroy it once more. What can be done? All of this is closely linked to black resources!
Excellent! Thank you all for your hard work. The calligraphy gathering of the Chongxin Sect is scheduled for tomorrow, and preparations have already been completed well in advance. As a humble gesture of support for the Chongxin Sect, I bestow great energy upon all students and disciples attending today’s class. With this cup of tea, I trouble the Chongxin Sect once more, and shall return to the heavenly realm tomorrow. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
The Lamp-Lighting Buddha of the Pure Path of Emptiness,  
The Dharma Assembly of the Reverent Heart returns to its original structure.
Thank you all for coming together to cultivate blessings on the nineteenth anniversary.
All Saints, Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue, has personally descended. The Chongxin lineage has completed the thirty-fourth installment of "The Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones," analyzing the original foundations of the "Three Pure Qi Substances" within the atmosphere and their interconnected causes with scientific civilization.
Within this mutual logic, one can enhance wisdom and foster growth. This is a unique and auspicious condition bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage. By analyzing the entire origins and development of all technological civilizations—spanning the first half of the Great Dao's cosmic order and the latter half of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao—it offers everyone the opportunity to ascend and progress.
All esteemed students must understand that "reverence of the heart is unity of heart, and unity of heart is reverence of the heart." This will lead to even greater elevation and bring benefits to the human world. Keep this firmly in mind. Do you all comprehend? Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. I hope everyone can come together to learn and grow! That is all for today. Thank you for your hard work. Farewell!

##The Primordial Ancestor of China, The Ancient Emperor Huangdi
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Supreme Master of Heaven bestows blessings upon the faithful heart;  
The Divine Treasure Celestial Venerable carries out virtuous intentions.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, thirty-five cycles; the qi of the Three Pure Ones embodies the nature of all spirits.
The planets of the Diming star system are all composed of the Three Pure Qi.
Since the dawn of this cosmic era sixty thousand years ago, humanity has aspired that through each cycle of transformation across all terrestrial and celestial systems, a more enduring and virtuous genetic essence might emerge to manifest within the human realm. After every epoch of "seas turning into mulberry fields," does such a cause and condition truly give rise to this noble genetic heritage?
It is indeed rare to incorporate the superior genes from previous cycles into this current cosmic era; such an expectation, within the vast universe, represents a phase of experimentation. This follows the first cosmic era: the Era of Stellar Evolution and the Red Dragon; the second cosmic era: the Era of Auspicious Favor and Creative Transformation; and the third cosmic era: the Era of Heritage Transmission and Virtue Expansion!
Throughout the successive generations of human existence, all civilizations and technologies have been in a state of continuous decline. This causal cycle persisted through the first cosmic era of three thousand years. By the second cosmic era, with the emergence of the opposing forces of yin and yang embodied in the "Moon-Chen Star," the lifespan of human beings was thereby reduced by half. This condition further endured into the third cosmic era.
In the renewed unfolding of the "transformation from ocean to mulberry fields," humanity has arrived at the concluding phase of the third cosmic cycle. This refers to the past sixty thousand years in the current spacetime, during which all transformations have taken place within the Earthly Obscure Star System. For humanity, such conditions of karma merely serve to enact yet another chapter of history.
The first kalpa of the Earthly Obscurity Star spans three thousand years.
In contrast, there should indeed be a virtuous elevation. Throughout the 60,000 years of sentient beings' existence, all manifestations have gradually declined from a lifespan of 1,000 years to the current human life expectancy. Consider this: human longevity has diminished from 3,000 years to less than a century in the present era.
What then are the issues within this? It is believed that sentient beings with emotions fundamentally do not comprehend, for human beings do not possess such a long lifespan. Hence, this leads to the previous cycle of evolution in the Diming Star System—how will all the karmic entities, great and small, that have undergone the transformation of "seas turning into mulberry fields," change and vary?
Human beings are unable to comprehend all the intricate details. For all sentient beings of the Diming Star System, the "Three Pure Qi" serves to benefit them through its absorptive function. This function requires the "lung function of the physical body" for sentient beings to absorb it, as it contains both "oxygen and carbon dioxide."
The fundamental condition for the Three Pure Qi to benefit all beings is that many among humanity can comprehend this principle. Numerous individuals still adhere to past modes of thinking, even as they integrate into the current era. While humanity seeks evolution through modern technology, this endeavor remains in its infancy. For the entire Earthly Nether Star System, there remains vast room for progress.
Both Buddhist and Taoist traditions employ the Great Turtle Breathing Technique.
Under such conditions, sentient beings of all kinds, including humanity, will encounter different karmic connections. This is because, throughout the sixty thousand years within the overall Earthly Nether Star System, there has been a continuous absorption of the "Three Pure Qi Energy." Humanity, through the respiratory function of the "lungs in the human body," participates in this process of absorption.
Regarding the oxygen absorbed from the Diming star system and the subsequent exhalation of carbon dioxide, this cycle allows sentient beings to discern, through various temporal and spatial conditions, whether the human body breathes through pores or relies on lung respiration. Breathing through the pores precisely draws upon the essence of both Daoist and Buddhist traditions for respiration.
When breathing is performed through the lungs, it means one has already fallen into the limited functions of the human body. Moreover, this gradually diminishes the human lifespan. In the overall process of past cosmic cycles, although humans did not reach the 3,000-year lifespan of the first cosmic cycle, they could still attain a lifespan of 1,000 to 2,000 years.
Thus, it is established: the body relies half on the pores for respiration! This form of breathing through the pores is akin to the "turtle-breathing technique" in the human world, which serves the function of absorption. This is a manifestation of the functions cultivated by both the Buddhist and Taoist traditions in the past. Indeed, this very function, as realized by these two traditions, is precisely the breathing function of the pores.
Modern humans no longer know how to practice the art of turtle breathing.
In the current era, humanity fundamentally does not utilize this respiratory function. Consequently, human beings can only exist within the Earthly Obscure Star System for a mere century. To aspire for a longer lifespan? That is impossible! This is because the lifespan of humanity is inherently constrained by the functions of the physical body.
In the process of metabolism, human beings continue to decline. Therefore, with the utilization of all black resources today—whether those in the sky or on the earth—everything has fallen into the oceans and become polluted. Yet, the entire ocean is unable to purify it all.
Therefore, for every nation bordering the ocean that is also afflicted by the harm of black resources, many symptoms of "cancerous tumors" manifest. Without more effective and genuine remedies for a cure, humanity will inevitably decline further, with some having already lost their lives.
The Three Pure Qi, from which all sentient beings and myriad spirits can benefit, must be absorbed under the following conditions: for all life beneath the atmosphere as a whole, it is essential to take in the "Three Pure Qi." Thus, for both humanity and all living beings, this absorption is necessary to survive within the Earthly Nether Star System.
Human beings rely on their lungs for breathing.
In this context, it is not merely about relying on the "physical lungs" of humans for breathing. It can be observed that many bacteria in the human world do not depend solely on lung respiration. Just as the "physical lungs" of humans inhale, they also utilize a form of respiration through the body's pores, which allows for greater vitality and survival.
Therefore, if human beings rely solely on the "lungs of the physical body" for breathing to eliminate external harmful bacteria and reduce the chances of direct invasion, this approach to the "Three Pure Qi" of the great cosmos has already existed since the beginning of the third kalpa. Yet, time and again, human beings have continued to diminish their lifespan.
Regarding the function of absorbing the "Qi of the Three Purities," if it cannot be applied to the practice of "pore breathing," it poses significant harm to sentient beings with emotions. Those who engage in pore breathing have generally already traversed a considerable path of cultivation, especially among Daoist practitioners of Qi refinement.
This type of Daoist practitioner of breath cultivation, who employs the "turtle breathing method" for respiration, relies on the functional capacity of "pore breathing." From a Buddhist perspective, one must ascend beyond the levels of bodhisattvas and buddhas to fully master and benefit from this pore breathing technique.
Most religions believe in reincarnation.
In the beliefs of most religions, human beings are generally unable to gain deeper insights into religious doctrines through sustained cultivation. Consequently, most people fail to understand why, in this vast world, it has become increasingly necessary for humanity to rely on the respiratory function of the "lungs within the human body."
This set of causal conditions poses a rather cruel destructive force upon human beings. Since humans fundamentally lack the ability to utilize the pores of their bodies for respiration, the lifespan of human beings is thus limited to a foundation of merely a hundred years. It is exceedingly difficult to attain the genuine opportunity for ascension—what, then, can be done?
To put it rather bluntly, humanity has long been in a state of decline! To transcend this, there must be an elevation: the guidance and empowerment of exalted beings—immortals, bodhisattvas, saints, and enlightened ones—to instruct and direct all practices and perspectives. Otherwise, relying solely on the religions of this present age, can humanity truly achieve transcendence? It seems highly unlikely!
It is fundamentally impossible! Moreover, having long been lost in the filth and delusions of the mortal world, what can one do? Furthermore, do not assume that by entering into religious faith and practice—merely reciting scriptures for a few years, chanting mantras for a few years, observing a vegetarian diet for a few years, or performing charitable deeds for a few years—one can simply return.
Human beings often fail to see the situation clearly.
To desire liberation from the Earthly Dark Star System, let us consider: Is it possible? This is not an easy task! Therefore, in the current era, all religions—whether Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Christianity, or Islam—are merely evolving a form of benevolent education to guide people, yet they are unable to facilitate a true return for those who genuinely cultivate and practice.
Is it possible to transcend such conditions of causality? It is indeed quite unlikely! This is because these notions merely exhibit a superficial loyalty to external faith, while in reality, the actions of all believers run counter to its true path. Having thus deviated from the path, any attempt to progress upward becomes exceedingly difficult.
For sentient beings with emotions, they believe that this function can serve as a balance to offset merits against faults. Human beings have long been trapped in the act of "mistaking the false for the true," and in turn, most of humanity has come to "regard the true as false." It remains unknown when such obstacles will be cleared for awakening and enlightenment, let alone the even greater difficulty of truly comprehending this!
True cultivation requires understanding the principles—do not mistake it for merely a matter of sincere intent.
In truth, all are straying from the path—  
Hoping for enlightenment remains a distant hope.
Breathing through the pores,  
Such is the body we possess in the human realm.
Comprehending the true foundation of the Way within, one returns to the primordial realm of heaven.
This verse serves as mutual encouragement among all sentient beings; it aims to analyze the benefits of the "Three Pure Qi Energy System" of the Great Dao for all spirits—a topic rarely expounded upon in the human world for millennia. For humanity, it represents an advanced form of "ancient astronomy and ancient technology" breathing technique, offering benefits to all human beings in the present era.
Moreover, in the present day, when all resources can no longer sustain consumption, the food chain will dictate the supply. Humanity cannot survive without eating, yet even when they do eat, it is merely a struggle to "eke out a feeble existence"—what else can be done? Without the need for human wars, sentient beings in this world will perish—pass away—sooner and much sooner.
In the mortal world, such conditions transform into the state of demise—after passing away, where does one wish to go? Most simply return for another lifetime, merely upholding religious faith. It is hoped that the disciples of the Chongxin lineage and its students will certainly not be among the latter. Thank you all for accompanying and contributing to this work. Having disturbed the Chongxin lineage for a time, farewell!

## Master of All Herbs, Divine Farmer Emperor
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Honored Heart Sect's lineage of Fortune and Virtue Deities, the Bright King ascends the platform to meet the virtuous students.
May all be auspicious and well,  
Grateful for the monastery's venerable master's profound elucidation of truth.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and the fellow students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the Academy's esteemed leader, the Heavenly Lord Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Great Heavenly Venerable of Lingbao, has personally descended to compose the thirty-fifth chapter of "The Great Dao Three Pure Ones," analyzing the "Three Pure Qi Bodies" in the mortal world and offering guidance on how all sentient beings can benefit from them!
This kind of causal condition is a realization for everyone, attained through religious faith in the human world. It pertains to the "pore breathing" of humanity, which is essentially the application of the "turtle breathing method" in the human realm. It is imperative for all students and followers of the Chongxin Sect lineage to thoroughly comprehend and realize the entire process in order to truly benefit from it.
This is precisely the application of a "turtle breathing method" training, which must begin from the present moment. Do not wait until after death, for by then the desire to learn will be too slow. This kind of opportunity represents a highly advanced, civilized, and technological form of absorption for everyone. Can you comprehend the mysteries within?
If you do not understand, you may apply the methods from Saturday's "Chan Insights to Dispel Delusions" and once again seek guidance from the immortal and buddha teachers. Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all forms of guidance will proceed as usual. Tomorrow evening, there will also be a Chan master giving a lecture. Let us all come together to dig for treasures! Within this, there is so much that can transform your ignorance and obstacles. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!

##Creator of Heaven and Earth, Ancient Patriarch Pangu
讚賀、序引、頌勉
The Three Pure Ones descend to the mortal realm,  
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning bestows the chapter of virtue and grace.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, in thirty-six cycles; technology unfolds the heavens of the Three Pure Ones.
Beneath the atmosphere of the Diming star system lies the Three Pure Qi.
Beneath the atmosphere of this vast world, many human beings rely on this realm to sustain a highly advanced technological civilization, which is also manifested within the human world. Such conditions of cause and effect grant humanity the technological civilization of the present era, thereby benefiting all living beings.
For the multitude of human beings, it is essential to have the primary cause and condition of breathing air within this Earthly Dark Star System. Thus, regarding all the "Three Pure Qi Energies" within the atmospheric layers of the great cosmos, it is necessary to accurately apply contemporary technological civilization in order to discern that these qi energies are of utmost importance within the Earthly Dark Star System.
This understanding, in relation to sentient beings, necessitates clarity about all forms of intention, which is then manifested through technological civilization. Taking contemporary civilization as the starting point, it also truthfully grounds human beings in the necessities of technological civilization. Through this causal condition, the "Three Pure Qi Energy" is thus referred to as: the One Qi of the Great Dao.
This causal condition is based on the integration of various qi energies—such as Primordial Unified Qi, Primordial Prenatal Qi, and the Great Dao's Unified Qi—into the present era. It can thus be understood that the Great Dao's Unified Qi must be fulfilled through the Earthly Nether Star System, which implements the qi energies of "oxygen and carbon dioxide" throughout the entire Earthly Nether Star System.
Technology unfolds the holistic trinity of qi essence.
The Three Pure Ones unfolded their teachings, and in the realm of the Dark Star System, the favorable conditions from all past ages granted humanity a span of three thousand years. Now, however, this temporal expanse has been greatly diminished. Moreover, the application of "black resources" in the human world has led to the misuse of these same "black resources" in the heavens.
Furthermore, the adverse effects of the "black resources" on the land have all been swept into the oceans, dispersing throughout the marine realm of the underworld star. Regardless of which nation humans inhabit, as long as they reside near the sea level, all peoples of every nation will suffer immense devastation.
This effect can be distinguished within the nations of the descendants of Yan and Huang, encompassing: China (mainland), Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Brunei, the Philippines... all coastal nations in the region will be affected without exception!
Regarding the devastation wrought by this "dark resource," and the precious lives continuously lost to all humanity due to cancer and tumor cells, from the perspective of the mortal world: this is absolutely not a lack of compassion from Heaven, nor is it intended to harm all living beings. Thus, there is profound concern over the mercilessness of the entire Earthly Nether Star System!
Heaven lends its generals to invent the transformation of cancer tumors.
Thus it came to be: The "Three Pure Qi Essence" was implemented within the human realm. This causal condition, in accordance with reality, guides sentient beings among humanity. For all the various intentions formed across past kalpas and cycles, if they can be dissolved, the heavens above will certainly not withhold their grace. If they cannot be dissolved, they will be enacted according to the ways of the human world.
This issue leads to the loss of precious lives for many beings among humanity, who pass away in this wave of "cancerous tumors." It is therefore essential to understand that this requires "trading time for space" — one must accumulate genuine "hidden virtue and benevolent blessings" to have the opportunity to make the necessary adjustments and extend the lifespan of human life.
Otherwise, one must bear great responsibilities and duties, with such heavenly mandate to rely upon, in order to redirect the absorption and application of the "Three Pure Qi Essence." This can also temporarily preserve precious life, and moreover, it will genuinely bring about favorable conditions and good karma, transforming the detrimental ravages of "cancerous tumors." This is precisely how it is!
Why do some people, already afflicted with "cancerous tumors," still manage to live for a very long time? Meanwhile, there are others who, with just a minor ailment, see their lives cut short as it escalates into "cancerous tumors" that ravage them. How does this come to be? Most people are unable to comprehend the full sequence of causes and effects behind such circumstances.
Today, cancer and tumors challenge the finest physicians of both Eastern and Western medicine.
It often stumps even the most skilled practitioners of both Chinese and Western medicine. While others with the same symptoms recover quickly, there are some individuals who simply cannot improve. This is precisely the effect of "life and death are predetermined, wealth and honor come from heaven." Perhaps it serves to slightly alleviate the suffering of modern civilization's afflictions for humanity.
It is only by trading time for space that, among the second batch of "borrowed talents," such a method to eliminate the symptoms of "cancerous tumors" was invented. Now in "clinical trials," whether it will be in time or already too late depends on observing whether all human actions are correct. Only then can it be determined!
Moreover, it will very truthfully reveal to all human beings that this is how the causes and conditions arise and manifest. Such a moment in time and space is bound to arrive; it is only a matter of sooner or later. For all human beings, it will serve a great purpose in eliminating the affliction of "cancerous tumors," truly providing the human world with the benefits of the "Three Pure Qi Energies."
Human beings can also first utilize "negative ions" in the following way: if absorbed by humans, they can greatly help reduce precious life. Therefore, when applying "negative ions," it is necessary to employ different therapeutic methods and individual secret formulas to achieve beneficial changes and eliminate illnesses.
Beneath the atmosphere lies the qi of the Three Purities.
These can gradually dissipate all the issues of the human world, specifically by interpreting the "Three Pure Qi Body" of the Di Ming star system. For the welfare of all living beings, there will be a relatively favorable "Three Pure Qi Body" environment, drawing upon "phytoncides" for absorption. This kind of absorption can be practiced daily, and it is indeed consistent!
In the process of absorbing human beings, the original gas of "phytoncide" is also incorporated. This causal condition can serve to alleviate and temporarily slow down the ignorance of "cancerous tumors" within the human body. Additionally, the "hand-swinging exercise" can be used as a swift method to transform and dissolve all "cancerous tumor" ailments.
This method of applying the "Hand-Swinging Exercise" to "cancerous tumors" must be observed: each individual's circumstances and destiny are shaped by their own karma, while also bringing their "accumulated merits" into full play. In the present era, this approach requires immense "power of aspiration" to counteract the entanglements of "karmic forces" through such aspiration, thereby eliminating "cancerous tumors"!
Only then can all detrimental "ignorant abscesses" be truly eliminated from arising. Therefore, in the context of today's era of civilization and technology, how can we dissolve all obstacles and turn them around, while also benefiting all sentient beings with compassion? This condition of cause and circumstance depends on whether each human body can bear it!
Black resources such as oil and pesticide residues harm all living beings.
Whether it is truly capable of trading time for space depends on having a genuine method to address the issue. The key lies in returning to the origin of existence—embracing a simple lifestyle of plain tea and modest meals. By the duty of Heaven toward all sentient beings in the vast universe, "black resources" are transformed, thereby benefiting all living beings and myriad spirits.
It is also a truthful reminder to humanity about the necessity of elevating and transcending oneself. Therefore, for all human beings, taking all sentient beings created between heaven and earth as the foundation, this approach, in the current era of seven billion people, will bring forth the underworld: three hundred billion sentient beings, one by one, into the world!
Born once again upon the land of the Earth-Ming star system, it is essential to understand this causal condition: as the future population is projected to exceed ten billion, and with such expansion, there will arise cycles of varying magnitudes. Throughout the process of transformation that the entire Earth-Ming star undergoes in its successive phases, humanity will come to realize that it can no longer remain in the Earth-Ming star system for long.
Human beings are born into this world to live.
It is to allow all sentient beings with emotions to be baptized through religious faith, and to make them realize: not knowing when calamities may strike creates unease and restlessness in their hearts. Entering religion becomes a form of spiritual solace; through learning and growth, they can thus benefit!
This is the compassionate grace and virtue manifested by the Heavenly Will to protect all living beings. It is essential to truthfully convey this compassion and virtue, enabling sentient humans to enter the baptism of religious faith according to their own aspirations. This will naturally necessitate the practice of cultivation and refinement, thereby fostering steadfast and devoted followers of religion.
One must also observe whether each individual is genuinely seizing the opportunity for spiritual ascent! At the same time, it is essential to ensure that all living beings grow in precisely this manner. Only then can the exclusivity inherent in all religious beliefs be prevented. This process must be guarded against, lest one, having come into this world as a human with great difficulty, creates negative karma once more—truly, what a lamentable outcome!
Entering into religious faith, yet belittling oneself amidst the unequal influences of other religions, one loses the conditions for human existence. These conditions have already changed in the eyes of Heaven and must never be violated again. Be cautious and guard against this! Be cautious and guard against this!
The mutation of technological civilization has led to the affliction of the human body.
Cancerous tumors come and go; one can transform the negative intentions they have created.
Humankind is forged from the essence of all things;  
Throughout life's journey, virtue and fortune intertwine.
To observe the second batch of borrowed generals,
Turn the tide and resolve the pressing crisis at hand.
This verse! Let us encourage one another, all sentient beings; for the countless billions of souls in the future underworld, born throughout the entire Earthly Nether Star System, regardless of human or other species, each may, through their own actions, reduce the karmic retribution for past sinful deeds. Only then can they attain the karmic conditions to be reborn as humans and continue their growth!
It is precisely within the overall Earthly Underworld star system that all sentient beings, whether human or other forms of life, hold expectations. Only by possessing a virtuous and favorable karmic foundation, capable of transforming and dissolving all past sins, can one seize the opportunity for human existence. This is the compassionate grace bestowed by Heaven upon all sentient beings for their benefit.
This causal condition must provide all living beings with the opportunity to be born as humans, while also observing each individual’s karma—this is the true path! Thank you all for accompanying the writing. With the completion of the final chapter of "The Three Purities of the Great Dao," we express our gratitude to everyone! We have disturbed the Chongxin lineage for some time. Farewell, everyone!

##The Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heavens  Emperor Fuxi
讚賀、序引、頌勉
Jigong Buddha of the Chongxin Lineage  
Living amidst the world's scenes, all are deluded.
Unaware that calamity has drawn near, humanity remains insensible and slow to comprehend.
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 Patriarch of the Three Pure Ones, has personally descended to the Chongxin Sect to complete the thirty-sixth chapter of "The Great Dao of the Three Pure Ones." With this, the entire work of "The Great Dao of the Three Pure Ones" (The Great Dao Universe) has been fully authored. Such a cause and condition is truly exceptionally auspicious!
In the future, many high-tech civilizations will manifest in all functions, capable of practically transforming calamities for human beings and causing the disappearance of "cancerous tumors" among sentient humans. It is essential to genuinely redirect these developments, and there must be true "hidden virtue and moral character" as the causal condition for growth.
This is the Chongxin lineage, responding to the transformation of the entire cosmic celestial realm. Such an opportunity requires everyone to work together to carry it out. Tomorrow is again Wednesday, and all guidance will proceed as usual. I hope everyone will join in to dig for treasures together! It is essential to strive diligently. Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell!

##Ancient Buddha of the Void, Supreme Virtue, Revered by Humans and Devas
The revered ancestor of China descends with a sincere heart,  
The ancient Yellow Emperor embodies virtue and compassionate sentiment.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, traverses the universe;  
The lineage of the Reverent Heart cultivates virtue and conduct.
Postscript I: Commendation
The vastness of the Dao and the universe is boundless.
The origin of the Great Dao, in relation to all sentient beings, carries within it the karmic connections of the Three Purities, serving as a profoundly benevolent intention. It also links each individual's fundamental causes to the interconnectedness of cosmic galaxies. Through this connection to the cosmic galaxies, humanity can comprehend the entirety of its challenges and understand how to ascend, grow, and transcend.
In particular, by analyzing the "seeds of demonic nature" within the cosmic galaxies, we can understand that for all sentient beings throughout the ages, who have never encountered the opportunity for transformation, these beings within the cosmic galaxies also possess a function of upward growth. This clarifies the karmic essence of the "mutual transformation between Buddha and demon" in the entire universe.
All sentient beings of humanity have never truly understood their past, and few in the future will be able to discern it clearly. Only through the teachings expounded by the "Dadao Zhenfo Xin Zong Religion" — an unprecedented analysis spanning millennia — can all living beings with consciousness come to genuinely comprehend the entirety of these causes and origins. Moreover, it is essential to resolve these matters in accordance with the key issues addressed therein.
The Great Dao of the Three Purities unfolds the process of virtue and grace.
Through the "mutual transformation of Buddha and Mara," we can access a source that has been profoundly difficult to distinguish across all religions since ancient times. This duality, addressing both the "Buddha" and "Mara" within humanity, serves as a necessary impetus for upward growth. It is deeply rooted in the intrinsic nature of sentient beings, bringing about the elevation of goodness and benefit, as well as genuine enlightenment.
When sentient beings enter the cause of "the mutual transformation between Buddha and Mara," they can transcend the human realm and discern "Buddha-nature and mind-nature" as they truly are. In this process, all the intricacies and connections will inevitably be realized: for human beings, it is precisely through discerning one's own mind-nature that one transforms the existence of "Buddha-nature and Mara-nature" within oneself.
The "contractual transformation" contained within it is a highly advanced form of karmic connection, whose original meaning cannot be comprehended by ordinary religious practitioners. Thus, it should be understood that through the cultivation and adjustment of ancestral lineage faith, one must evolve the self and learn how to ascend, grow, and transcend to higher levels.
The Three Pure Ones of the Daoist Tradition in the Great Dao Universe
The "Buddha nature and demonic nature" within oneself are actually subject to "transformation." In truth, both are manifestations arising from the self-nature in the present moment, which then give rise to the functions of "Buddha nature and demonic nature." This is precisely the necessity within "transformation," and it is also an evolution from "purity and unity."
This "pure unity" of time and space, in the process of evolution transforming into "pure suchness," is inherently the original nature of "pure unity," while "pure suchness" is the evolved state. This principle is bound to be thoroughly comprehensible in all its contexts and origins. Yet, not all religious practitioners and spiritual cultivators in the world may necessarily grasp the underlying reasons and mechanisms of this transformation.
Therefore, through "contractual transformation," the Buddha-nature is elevated and enhanced. This causal condition represents a rather high-level "transformation" factor within the human realm, which requires guidance from enlightened beings from higher realms to truly comprehend its key aspects. This primary causal condition is essential for the advancement and elevation of "human evolution."

The Immortal Master of All Herbs' Treatise on Virtue and Intent
Divine Farmer the Great descends to impart these words.
Postscript Two: Praising and Celebrating the Reverent Heart  
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, and the Cosmic Heavens
Postscript II: Congratulations and Felicitations
The Grand Dao's Elaboration and Propagation
It is precisely within the human realm of the Diming star system that a certain orientation for the survival of sentient beings has been established as their foundation for existence. However, only after the celestial immortals and buddhas created heaven and earth did human beings come to inhabit the space of the Diming star system. It can be said that the entire process began with humanity's efforts to cultivate and manifest all means of nurturing life.
And thus there exists: for human existence, a rather sophisticated system of nurturing life, which can traverse from past times and spaces to exert influence in the present. Humanity has experienced: since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the "Fengshen Bang" (Investiture of the Gods) was used to establish the framework for successive dynasties. This system, in turn, indiscriminately encompasses both the good and the bad, giving rise to all the evolutionary processes of the present era.
That is to say, regarding all human beings, through the distinction between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature," if we consider the period around the Zhou Dynasty, there was no such distinction between "Buddha-nature and demon-nature." It was after the era of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that various religious thoughts and concepts began to be practiced, shaping the karmic connections of all human individuals.
The manifestation of both virtuous and unvirtuous expressions in this world is precisely why various religions find it necessary to distinguish between "Buddha" and "Mara." This distinction also explains why, within religious faith, human beings seldom delve into the causes of "demonic nature." Consequently, in Buddhist faith, the presentation of "Buddha-nature" emerges.
The mysteries of the universe and galaxies unfold beneath.
Furthermore, for all future religions, it is a matter of "the mutual transformation and convergence of Buddha and Mara" that must be implemented within the human world. Only then can sentient beings, through their individual inherent nature, truly distinguish themselves by this "inherent nature." It is precisely through distinguishing between "Buddha-nature and Mara-nature" that greater understanding and benefit will be achieved!
The Three Purities of the Great Dao—in the unfolding of all things in the universe, humanity can, through the present age, come to realize that it pertains to the essence of the dual causality of "Buddha and Mara." However, in every religion, none can articulate the distinctions of the "seeds of Mara's nature." It is only within Buddhism that the necessity of "manifesting the Buddha-nature" is emphasized.
In a truthful comparison between "Buddha" and "Mara," the origins and development of "Buddha-nature and Mara-nature" are revealed. In the present era, while most religions focus more on expounding "Buddha-nature," they seldom address the topic of "Mara-nature."
The nature of Buddha and demon transforms and grows only through mutual accord.
Such conditions and circumstances thus give rise to a situation where, when human beings later enter into religious faith, they lack immunity against the "demonic nature." Consequently, humanity has consistently been unable to break through the analysis of the "seeds of demonic nature." How, then, can all sentient beings formed in this human world survive in the present era?
All are influenced and manipulated through the "spirits of ancient dynasties"! This prevents sentient beings from ascending to higher levels of growth! In fact, the current era has already evolved to embrace the technological civilization of the cosmic galaxy. The entire universe must be expanded, and all the deficiencies, shortcomings, and errors in the "Investiture of the Gods" must be rectified!
Thus, for all sentient beings, there will be virtuous and favorable causes and conditions to nurture life, surpassing those of past times and spaces. Such conditions of causality can only be initiated by the "Chongxin Lineage": the supreme karmic body of the True Buddha Heart Religion of the Great Dao, which creates genuine benefits for all sentient beings, making it essential for upward growth and advancement!

跋、凡例
The world was created among mortals, as the Great Emperor Pan Gu descended to begin his earthly destiny.
The Universe of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones  
Three paths converge, bringing felicitations and praise.
Colophon III: On the Title
The Three Pure Ones' Exposition of the Great Dao
All living beings in the mortal world will, through the workings of the "Three Pure Heavens," come to comprehend all primordial causes and conditions. This gives rise to the following: for this Earthly Obscure Star System, it is precisely through the "Three Pure Qi Essence" that the absorption by human beings is greatly aided, and it also shapes the variations that have occurred across past cosmic cycles.
This causal condition is not differentiated across: the first, second, and third kalpas—all contain the seeds of causation, precisely as such! It resides within the first kalpa: the kalpa of evolving stars and the kalpa of the crimson dragon; within the second kalpa: the kalpa of bestowed fortune and the kalpa of transformative creation; and throughout the third kalpa: the kalpa of accumulated transmission and the kalpa of virtue expansion, in their complete functional efficacy.
Human beings, as sentient beings, evolve through this functional capacity to assimilate all physical forms. This concept has never been analyzed or elucidated in past cosmic cycles, nor has it ever been fully realized in the entirety of previous eras. To achieve it as seamlessly as the "Chongxin Lineage" would require a foundation that has never existed, let alone the complete fulfillment of the karmic conditions necessary for such realization.
The Works of the True Buddha Heart Religion Association of the Great Dao
It is precisely through the manifestation of the overall "Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religion" that the obscurations and obstacles of all human beings are opened and transformed. This is also revealed in every process of action within the human world. All the issues of this human world are addressed in the overall "Great Dao Series Celestial Books," which are truly extraordinary and profoundly vast!
In this era of technological civilization, even the most comprehensive analysis is sufficient to bring about a significant elevation and transcendence for the future of humanity. It also serves to nourish one's own life in this world, making the necessity of returning to and surpassing the mundane existence upon entering this human realm all the more evident. This precisely involves differentiating the "inherent nature" of all sentient beings and myriad souls.
Human beings are fundamentally rooted in "Buddha-nature," yet they fail to recognize it. The planting of causes for "demonic nature" also serves as a foundation for human beings. Thus, despite over 2,500 years of elucidation on "Buddha-nature" within Buddhism, humanity remains unable to discern that it arises from the seeds of "demonic nature."
The Interconnection of the Three Pure Realms and the Universe
It is from one's own inherent nature, through the faculties of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and mind, followed by the Manas consciousness and the Alaya consciousness—the first eight consciousnesses are all the same—that upon entering the ninth demonic nature, they become different.
The First Major Stage of Sowing the Seeds of Demonic Nature: Ninth: The Consciousness of Playful Deception, Tenth: The Consciousness of Illusory Emptiness, Eleventh: The Consciousness of Vast Non-Existence, Twelfth: The Consciousness of Overwhelming the Heart.
Second Major Stage of Cause-Sowing:  
Thirteenth: Contemplation of the Exhausted and Consumed Consciousness,  
Fourteenth: Consciousness of Acute and Disturbing Wisdom,  
Fifteenth: Consciousness Free from Partiality and Self-Existence,  
Sixteenth: Consciousness Regarded as Supreme and Profound.
Third Major Stage of Cause-Sowing:  
Seventeenth: The Arising of Manifestation-Reflecting Consciousness,  
Eighteenth: The Mind's Arising of Grasping-Nature Consciousness,  
Nineteenth: Nature-Biased Mindless Consciousness,  
Twentieth: Mindless Natureless Consciousness.
This type of consciousness seed, fundamentally unheard of among human beings, finds little immunity in the mortal world. Hence, though many in the present age embrace religious faith, those who truly return to transcendence remain exceedingly few! Even in this era, where the internet may illuminate past ignorance and obstacles.
Humans seldom understand the underlying reasons.
However, within these "subtleties and intricacies," it becomes impossible for human beings to genuinely comprehend the true essence contained within, nor can they grasp the real meaning. How then can they achieve true understanding? It is only through the teachers and immortal Buddhas of the Chongxin lineage, who tirelessly traverse thousands of miles of clouded paths and ride myriad starry chariots, all to honor their commitments.
The descent of the Chongxin lineage is here to be analyzed—how should the mysteries held by sentient beings be applied? This requires both a "top-ranked teacher" and a "top-ranked student" to connect and collaborate. By addressing humanity's necessity for "return, transcendence, fulfillment, and ascension," all sentient beings and myriad spirits may benefit and grow.
This scene and sentiment are truly worthy of congratulations for the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. It represents the propagation of humanity's "vanguard forces" and is even more commendable! Moreover, it holds a transcendent necessity in the human world, enabling virtuous growth among people, enhancing one's inner strength and wisdom, benefiting both oneself and all sentient beings.

跋、凡例
Authored by the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao! Worthy of affirmation and congratulations!
The Creation of Heaven and Earth: The Ancient Patriarch Pan Gu descended to the Three Ba regions, proclaiming the teachings of the Confucian Sage.
Dadao Zhen Foxin Religious Association – Wuji Dadao Academy – Yichi Chongxin Sect Lineage
On the twenty-third day of the tenth lunar month, during the hour of Xu (7-9 PM), in the year Yiyun Yiyiwei.
Alas! The world now possesses the supreme firsthand materials for transformation and salvation. This signifies that the celestial karmic body has descended into the mortal realm, ensuring that all future calamities can be truthfully transformed and averted. For all disciples and students of the Chongxin Sect lineage, it is essential to devote greater effort, achieving not only self-realization but also the liberation of all sentient beings. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for everyone’s dedication in accompanying the compilation of the "Great Dao and the Three Purities." We apologize for any inconvenience caused during our stay with the Chongxin Sect lineage. Until we meet again!
The Primordial Eight Trigrams evolve the Three Pure Ones;  
The virtue and wisdom of Emperor Fuxi bring forth renewal.
The Great Dao, the Three Pure Ones, the Vast Cosmos,
Humanity's breath draws in the cause.
Editorial Principles
The function of the Great Dao lies in using the energy of the Three Purities to encompass the capacity of all sentient beings in the human world to absorb and assimilate. Within this causal condition, only the Chongxin Sect lineage, through such a function, can comprehend all: the Primordial One Energy, the Great Dao One Energy, the Primordial Chaos Energy... and the myriad forms of energy that are thereby created.
All of these are based on the evolutionary absorption functions of cosmic galaxies toward various celestial bodies, and they also implant various different qi gases into the evolution of each galaxy system. Only when these can be absorbed by sentient beings to their benefit do they embody true reality!
The Absorption of the Great Dao: In the human world, the primary cause and basis for absorption is the Three Pure Qi. This applies not only to this planet of the Earthly Nether Star System, but also encompasses the heavens, the great earth, the oceans, and the underworld—all are rooted in the "Three Pure Qi." All living beings and myriad spirits are thus protected.
It also takes the "Three Pure Ones" as its foundation; this represents a highly advanced level of wisdom for the human world, a profound knowledge and perspective for existence, which benefits all sentient human beings.
The Operation of Cosmic Star Systems: In the past, human beings believed that this Earthly Obscure Star System was a stationary celestial body. However, they failed to recognize that, within the entire cosmic firmament, the Earthly Obscure Star System actually moves at considerable speed. Following the trajectories of the "equator and ecliptic," it evolves and transcends according to this progression!
The laws of the universe and heaven and earth evolve, created by civilizations of higher technological sophistication. Such causal conditions remain fundamentally incomprehensible to sentient beings in humanity. How, then, can all the underlying reasons behind this be understood? Those who are capable of such comprehension are individuals in the human world endowed with the causal conditions for high-level teachings. Therefore, the disciples and studies of the Chongxin lineage are precisely the "vanguard of the Great Dao" for the future world of humanity.
The Operation of Cosmic Orbits: In the human world, it is the heavens that initiate the role of "borrowing talents." How can sentient beings comprehend that within this Earthly Dark Star System, all living souls can evolve? Simultaneously, this knowledge, experience, and wisdom are imparted to the current generation.
For all sentient beings and myriad spirits, this represents a necessity for upward growth, as well as an essential requirement for benefiting humanity and all living beings in the future. This is a responsibility that all students and followers of the Chongxin lineage must undertake and put into practice as part of their karmic mission.
The transformation and nurturing by the qi of the Three Pure Ones: The human world is a realm for the transformation of life, and also a point of distinction between ascension and descent. In particular, each volume of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books" contains unique opportunities for creation, designed to benefit all sentient beings. This represents the compassionate grace of Heaven descending to the human realm, drawing upon the accumulated achievements and karmic connections of all celestial immortals and buddhas from the past. Through nineteen years of dedication, these efforts have coalesced into the "Dadao Zhenfo Xin Religion Association" for the purpose of composing these works.
It is through the dedicated efforts of Master Li Xin Guangming, along with all the scholars, disciples, and benevolent supporters of the Chongxin Sect, that the entire "Dadao Series of Celestial Books" has been compiled and published. This serves as a reference tool for both personal and collective growth and transcendence in the future, a task that only the Chongxin Sect is capable of accomplishing. Among all religions worldwide, this comprehensive series of celestial books stands alone, with no other such celestial volumes disseminated elsewhere. Such is the vastness and depth of its analysis!
The Three Pure Realms of the Universe in the Earthly Nether Star System: It is precisely an entity capable of creation, and it is due to the existence of the cosmic qi energy that the Three Pure qi energy of the Earthly Nether Star System exists. All human beings and sentient beings also absorb this kind of air energy, which truly serves as a protective function for the physical body, benefiting all living beings across the myriad realms.
Concerning the afflictions of humanity, we reflect upon the lifespan of three thousand years in ancient times, contrasted with the current era where life seldom reaches a century. Moreover, as technology advances, human calamities grow ever more severe—particularly "cancerous tumors," which have claimed countless precious lives. Truly, this is profoundly lamentable! Yet, what can be done?
The Connection of the Great Dao, the Cosmos, and the Three Purities: In the human world, it is possible to understand and place oneself within the life of high-tech civilization. However, there is no enhancement of the energy of the human body, except through the application of the Daoist "Turtle Breathing Method," which is then connected by the "Fetal Breathing Method" practiced by all human beings. This practice is carried out from within the human realm.
By applying the enlightened understanding of the "Direct Insight into Nature Method," one can position the lifespan of one's own life at a point of greater benefit. It is essential to extend this outward through the lineage of the Chongxin Sect. This is a matter of achieving oneself through oneself, and also of achieving oneself for the sake of all living beings.
The Buddha-Nature and Demonic-Nature Essence of the Great Dao Universe and the Three Pure Ones: Ordinary human beings fundamentally fail to comprehend it. Within this "resonance of natures," it is essential to integrate one’s innate original nature with the acquired self-nature shaped by later influences. Only then can one truly engage with the "resonance of natures" and derive great benefit from it. In doing so, even the essence of "demonic nature" can be understood in relation to the essence of "Buddha-nature."
It will transcend and depart from all demonic influences above the twentieth level within the Earthly Nether Star System, and thus will not be drawn by "demonic nature." May everyone be able to create and nurture their own growth, for that is what Heaven truly hopes for!
The Evolution of the Universe by the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao: This is the essence of the thirty-ninth volume of the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Books." It represents a rare karmic connection in the human world, one that can be described as "unprecedented in the past and unmatched in the future." It is precisely this that provides an analysis and interpretation for all followers and students of the Chongxin lineage, enabling them to ascend and transcend within a single lifetime, returning to a state of ultimate liberation.
It is essential to "prepare for a rainy day" regarding all future calamities that may befall the human world. Only by being able to avert all disasters can we preserve the precious lives and longevity of humanity—this is the true path! Such a circumstance truly deserves the affirmation and praise of all the celestial immortals and buddhas, our revered teachers.
The Three Purities of the Great Dao: A Textbook of Cosmic Writings. We appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication.
The Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Heavens

On the twenty-third day of the tenth lunar month in the year Yiyou of the Tianyun cycle, during the Xu hour.
Oh! Oh! Only the "world's foremost institution of learning" can truly unravel such karma. In elevating the true nature of all sentient beings beyond the obstacles of ignorance, it can also transform and avert all future calamities for humanity! How profoundly moving! Tonight, I shall impose upon the Chongxin lineage. Thank you all for your efforts. Farewell!
The Virtuous of the Void, Celestial and Human Buddhas  
Ascend the platform to express gratitude as all immortals gather.
Descending to revere the heart and transcend the mundane, offering humanity a structure for creating blessings.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and fellow cultivators of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, four ancient Golden Immortal Saints—the Yellow Emperor, our Chinese ancestral progenitor; the Divine Farmer, Master of All Herbs; Pangu, the Creator of Heaven and Earth; and Fuxi, the Divine Emperor of the Primordial Eight Trigrams—have descended to the Chongxin lineage to compose the celestial scripture "The Great Dao of the Three Purities—The Universe."
Regarding the entirety: Postscript One, Postscript Two, Postscript Three, and the General Principles, which together form four major sections, this great karmic affinity bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage represents a significant affirmation and appreciation. It is the culmination of nearly two decades of dedicated effort and meticulous cultivation, offering sentient beings a genuine and authentic opportunity to connect with the true essence of karmic causes and conditions.
We also extend our gratitude to the celestial immortals and Buddhas for their diligent efforts in compiling each volume, preserving this karmic connection for the benefit of future generations. Through cloud technology, these works will endure for thousands of years, providing descendants with authentic verification and truly resolving all contradictions that lead to calamities. This process of transformation and resolution is truly commendable!
This scene is truly a great encouragement for all the students and disciples of the Chongxin lineage. Let's give a round of applause! I am also deeply grateful for everyone's companionship over the past two decades—such familial affection brings immense joy! Tomorrow is Saturday again, and all guidance sessions will proceed as usual. It is also the time for the Zen master's lecture. Let us all come together to uncover treasures! Thank you all for your hard work. Farewell for now!
The cause of demonic nature arises precisely from:
01. The eye perceives form: this is the first consciousness.  
02. The ear perceives sound: this is the second consciousness.
03. The nose smells scents: this is the third consciousness.  
04. The tongue tastes flavors: this is the fourth consciousness.
05. Body Movement and Touch: The Fifth Consciousness  
06. Mind Arising and Dharmas: The Sixth Consciousness
07. Manas: the seventh consciousness  
08. Ālaya-vijñāna: the eighth consciousness
The distinctions among the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, manas-consciousness, and alaya-consciousness are such that the first eight consciousnesses are entirely identical! Thereafter, they diverge, due to:
The first major stage of planting demonic seeds: The demonic offspring gathered and assembled are unable to leave the Earthly Nether Star System, and are specifically tasked with assessing ordinary humans and spiritual practitioners.
09. The Recognition of Wanqiao Lane: This is the ninth level of demonic nature.
10. Illusory Nature and Emptiness Consciousness: This is the tenth level of demonic nature.
11. The Realm of Utter Ignorance: This is the eleventh level of demonic nature.
12. Crown Leaping and Filling the Mind-Consciousness: This is the twelfth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Lesser Heavenly Demon King, capable of issuing commands to the demonic offspring and descendants across the Earthly Nether Star System.
The second major stage of planting the demonic cause: The Celestial Demon King has already departed from the Earthly Abyss Star System, possessing the basis for evaluation by the Supreme Heaven, specifically assessing those who may attain enlightenment in the future.
13. Only the Contemplation of the Exhaustion of Consciousness: This is the thirteenth level of demonic nature.
14. The Disturbance of Wisdom and Consciousness: This constitutes the fourteenth level of demonic nature.
15. Departing from bias to possess awareness: This is the fifteenth level of demonic nature.
16. The Vision of Extreme Height: The sixteenth level of demonic nature.
The highest realm is that of the Central Heaven Demon King, who can command all beings below the Central Heaven Demon Realm.
The Third Major Stage of Planting the Seeds of Demonic Nature: The Great Heavenly Demon King specifically examines whether all those who have transcended and attained enlightenment truly possess the qualifications to be considered enlightened.
17. The Consciousness of Manifestation and Response: This is the seventeenth level of demonic nature.
18. The Arising of Intentional Attachments to Nature and Consciousness: This is the eighteenth level of demonic nature.
19. Nature of Bias, Mind Without Awareness: The nineteenth level of demonic nature,
20. No-Mind, No-Nature Consciousness: This is the twentieth level of the demonic nature.
The highest state is that of the Great Heavenly Demon King, who can issue commands to all beings below the realm of the Great Heavenly Demons.

Supreme Master of the Chongxin Lineage, Lord Wunheng, Ruler of the Southern Heaven
The universe of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones—the completion of the scripture fulfills the decree, bestowing virtue and grace in due time.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous students, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Tao Academy, good evening! Today marks another auspicious occasion for the Chongxin Sect lineage: the completion and presentation of the thirty-ninth volume of the Great Tao Celestial Books series—"The Great Tao Universe (Three Pure Ones)." This work represents an unprecedented and unparalleled analytical achievement for the Chongxin Sect lineage.
It offers the necessity for advancement in the realms of knowledge and wisdom within the human world. Such conditions and causes have also been thoroughly analyzed by the Chongxin lineage. This enables the reform and refinement of religious beliefs, and indeed, it is directed toward the Chongxin lineage, which has accomplished pioneering achievements among all lineages in the human world—a feat worthy of affirmation!
The appointed hour has arrived. It is decreed that the three venerable ones—Celestial Lord of Soaring Dragons in the Void, Celestial Lord of Soaring Phoenixes in the Void, and Celestial Lord of Descending Brush in the Void—shall respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji at thirty li from the hall and present it herein. Furthermore, it is decreed that the three celestial maidens—Immortal Maiden of Spiritual Intent in the Void, Immortal Maiden of Spiritual Assembly in the Void, and Immortal Maiden of Spiritual Aperture in the Void—shall respectfully receive the Sacred Decree of the Wuji at twenty li from the hall and present it herein.
All other sacred Buddhas, disciples, and the scholars of the Wuji Great Dao Academy shall line up to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum! Very well, I, your master, shall now withdraw!
Before the Throne of the Wuji, Xu Feiqiong,  
The Immortal Maiden arrives with the decree to meet.
The universe of the Great Dao and the Three Pure Ones—  
The completed book is respectfully presented with virtuous intent.
Today, bearing the sacred decree of the Wuji Mother Goddess, it is bestowed upon the Chongxin lineage. This serves as a reward and affirmation for all deities, Buddhas, and disciples, praising and commending the united efforts of the entire Chongxin community of deities, Buddhas, and disciples! Truly, this brings immense joy; the decree is about to be proclaimed. Let all deities and humans bow in reverence! Let no one be disrespectful!
By Imperial Decree, the Edict is hereby proclaimed.
Respectfully Received
The Great Celestial Mother of the Wuji decrees:
The Mother resides in the celestial realm of Li Tian, facing the Southern Jambu Continent. In the Taiwan region, the karmic connection for her teachings is primarily established with all the children of the world. For the Chongxin lineage, since the founding of the hall in the year Bingzi, nearly two decades have passed. This karmic bond has guided and protected all the children under heaven.
Therefore, it is guided by the will of Heaven and takes the well-being of all living beings in the vast world as its own responsibility. Such a rare and profound connection existed even before this embodiment: within the entirety of the "Dadao Series Celestial Books," the Chongxin Sect lineage has authored and submitted all thirty-nine volumes to fulfill the divine decree. It can be observed that the Chongxin Sect lineage further analyzes the most perplexing and unresolved issues in the world.
It is precisely this supreme opportunity that elucidates the "seed cause of demonic nature," and further, the Three Pure Qi of the Great Dao descends to permeate the entire Earthly Nether Star System. Under such causal conditions, when explained through contemporary scientific knowledge and wisdom, it reveals a profound necessity for "in-depth research" into all the technological civilizations of the present era.
Within the sublime karmic connections of the Chongxin Sect lineage, there are many who are capable. However, the analysis presented in this volume, "The Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao Universe," uniquely integrates ancient astronomy, ancient technology, and ancient religious studies into the celestial scriptures of today. Such a profound karmic embodiment can only be undertaken by the Chongxin Sect lineage.
This extraordinary opportunity and blessed affinity is truly worthy of congratulations and affirmation from your mother. Now that all writings have been completed, it is fitting to reward the Sacred Buddha Teachers of the Chongxin Lineage for their skillful guidance. All Sacred Buddhas shall have their merits increased by three grades, and the students of the Chongxin Lineage shall also have their merits increased by three grades. These achievements shall all be recorded in the merit ledgers of each student and lineage member.
Additionally, by decree, the Immortal Maiden Feiqiong is respectfully dispatched to bring three jugs of the Limitless Nectar, to be added to the tea of the Chongxin Sect lineage. This is provided for its future propagation and development, granting it considerable high-level affirmation. Faithfully carry out the great sacred tasks of the "New Three Bonds" and the "Integration of the Five Teachings," and also offer humanity the opportunity to transcend through the causes and conditions of education.
To achieve growth in the spiritual realm and elevate the standard of living, as well as to transform the interplay of "Buddha-nature and demon-nature," it is essential to pursue upward progress. Truthfully, for all children of this era, the ability to "return, transcend, fulfill, and surpass" within this century will truly benefit all sentient beings with compassion.
The Supreme Mother of the Wuji descends a sacred decree upon the Confucian School of the Sage’s Teaching.

All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and fellow cultivators, good evening! Today, the sacred decree of Wuji has been promulgated and completed. We shall now reverently receive the Jade Decree of Haotian, which commands the Chongxin Lineage to dispatch the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara of Void Principle and Virtue, the Holy Mother of Heaven of Void Sage Virtue, and the Bright King of Void Blessings and Virtue to respectfully receive the Jade Decree of Haotian twenty li away.
By the Second Decree, the Infinite International Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, the Infinite Eastern Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, and the Infinite Heavenly Heart Pure Vase Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva are dispatched to respectfully receive the Jade Edict of the Vast Heaven ten li away and bring it to the hall for proclamation. All other sages, buddhas, students, as well as the scholars of the Infinite Great Dao Academy and the academy's cultivators, shall line up in formation to await the arrival, ensuring no breach of decorum.
The Celestial Emperor's Envoy, Li Taibai,  
The Immortal Elder Brings the Sacred Decree to the Heart of Devotion.
The cosmos of the Three Pure Ones of the Great Dao—the completed book is submitted with joyful laughter.
Good evening, everyone! The Immortal Elder has once again been entrusted with the Jade Decree of the Heavenly Emperor today, descending to the Chongxin lineage to proclaim its teachings. Are you all delighted? Our Immortal Elder has also waited for some time, not having visited Chongxin to issue such proclamations, and now shares this joy with everyone. Today, taking advantage of this auspicious occasion to present the Jade Decree, he descends once more to the Chongxin lineage. The moment has arrived—let us all bow in reverence!
Imperial Edict Commands the Reading
Respectfully received by imperial decree.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mysterious Divinity, proclaims by the Jade Decree:
As the supreme sovereign of the Nine and Five, I have devoted considerable effort to all religious teachings in the mortal world, hoping that every religion can alleviate the obscuring barriers of the human heart. Among these, it is by the decree of Heaven that the "Great Way True Buddha Heart Religious Association" has been established in the mortal world to redirect humanity's ignorance.
Thus, through the extraordinary affinity of the "Imperial Decree of the Chongxin Hall Lineage," the religious ignorance and obstacles that have never been dispelled in the human world since ancient times are now being resolved. Particularly through the celestial texts of the "Great Dao of the Three Purities (Universe)," a true analysis of the religions in the human world is provided, explaining how all "seeds of demonic nature" can be transformed!
It is also analyzed with great thoroughness, further clarifying that in the human world, existence relies on the Three Pure Qi energies. Such a profound and extraordinary affinity, as depicted in this work, can only be faithfully and excellently undertaken by the Chongxin Sect lineage. Moreover, it is elucidated with remarkable clarity in the thirty-ninth volume of the "Great Dao" series of celestial texts—"The Celestial Text of the Great Dao Three Pure Ones (The Universe)."
Observing this situation from the human world: it is indeed a work unprecedented in history and unmatched by any to come. Among all the teachings of the celestial immortals and Buddhas, it stands as a causal entity capable of unraveling the ignorance and obstacles within all human religions. We are deeply gratified, and now the "Great Dao of the Three Purities (Cosmos)" has been completed and presented as decreed.
It is appropriate to reward the "Chongxin Sect" for its selfless dedication. Each holy Buddha shall be credited with three additional merits and three thousand major merits. Furthermore, for the diligent support of every student and sect member, a third-class merit and three thousand major merits shall also be awarded. These are granted in full for perfect attendance, reduced by half for any deficiency, and so forth, ensuring fair distribution. All merits shall be recorded in each individual's merit ledger.
In this installment of the Chongxin lineage's work, the *Great Dao Three Purities (Cosmos) Celestial Book* has already analyzed the "causes of demonic nature" across twenty levels. This extraordinary set of causal conditions further integrates the entire Earthly Nether Star System as an absorption of the Three Purities' ethereal energy, drawing upon the "lung respiration of human beings' physical bodies" for its application.
In this world, it is essential to discern such karmic connections with clarity and truthfulness, and to understand the necessity of nurturing them. Humanity can thereby attain a longer lifespan, which is precisely a great sacred task most earnestly hoped for by Heaven. This extraordinary celestial scripture has already been bestowed upon us, aiming to foster the necessity of virtuous growth for all future human beings.
This scene and sentiment are truly commendable and praiseworthy. The completion of all works in the "Dadao Sanqing—Cosmic Celestial Texts" series has brought profound benefits to humanity today, uplifting and enriching all beings. It is even more worthy of recognition and admiration for the selfless dedication of the celestial immortals, Buddhas, and teachers, who have traversed vast distances with effortless grace to contribute to this noble cause.
The Great Heavenly Jade Emperor, the Supreme Sovereign of Mystic Spirit and Exalted God, issues this Jade Decree to the Sacred Teachings of the Confucian School.
The Great Dao True Buddha Heart Religious Association, the Wuji Great Dao Academy, and the Yichi Chongxin Sect Lineage.
On the twenty-seventh day of the tenth lunar month, during the Xu hour, in the year Yiyun Yiwei.
Oh! What profound emotion! The compassionate grace of Heaven is truly boundless. Today, our venerable Immortal Sage descends upon the Chongxin Sect to proclaim the Jade Decree of the Vast Heaven. Are we not all overjoyed? Bring forth the items that may receive blessings, and let this serve as even greater encouragement for everyone. It is our hope that the Chongxin Sect will become a "vanguard of the Great Dao," promoting and spreading its teachings far and wide.
It will bring to all religious believers among humanity a necessity for upward growth, and elevate the "New Three Bonds and Constants" as well as the "Integration of the Five Teachings." This is precisely what grants all cultivating scholars of the "Wuji Great Dao Academy" an incomparably affirmed "Bodhisattva Fruit of Attainment"! This is achieved through the will and mission of the Heavenly Providence.
Furthermore, may the Chongxin lineage truly be promoted in the human world, benefiting all sentient beings with compassion! Very well, the blessings have now been completed. I thank everyone for accompanying us in the proclamation of the Heavenly Jade Decree. I, the Old Immortal, must now return to the Heavenly Court to deliver the decree. On another day, I shall return to the Chongxin lineage to continue writing. Thank you all for your hard work!
Honoring the Heart Sect, the Chairman of the Lineage  
The Sage Emperor of Literary Balance meets the virtuous disciples.
May all be auspicious and well; the proclamation of the decree is now complete.
All Saints and Buddhas, virtuous beings, and students of the Wuji Great Dao Academy, good evening! Today, the sacred decree from Wuji and the jade edict from the Heavenly Court have been fully delivered. Furthermore, Immortal Elder Li Taibai has bestowed his blessings and rewards upon everyone. It is essential to understand that the affinity between Immortal Elder Li Taibai and the Chongxin lineage is exceptionally profound and auspicious!
In the past two decades, nearly two-thirds of the Jade Edicts from the Heavenly Court have been bestowed by the Immortal Elder Li Taibai. He has shown great affirmation towards our Chongxin lineage, treating it as his own disciples and family with sincerity. This is truly worthy of everyone's earnest learning, guidance, and recognition.
This volume of the celestial text, "The Great Dao Universe—The Three Pure Ones," has now been fully completed. It will continue to be written according to the fortieth volume of the "Great Dao Series of Celestial Texts" starting from Friday, January 1st, 105th year of the national calendar. These works will analyze the more advanced technological civilizations of the future, truly benefiting all sentient beings by aiding in their elevation and transcendence! Well, thank you all for your hard work. Farewell! Farewell!
