一六八、自自然然欲速則不達 1 “Where one spirit shines constantly and myriad thoughts are void” means the mind reaches “utmost quietness” spontaneously, and is “far into emptiness and grounded in quietude.” It is not difficult to do, so long as you follow the instructions, there is hope in reaching that state of mind. 1 「一靈常照，萬念皆空」，就是要靜到極點，虛極靜篤，心裡面空空洞洞，自自然然。這並不難，只要照著做就都有希望。 2 Yet, you…

一六七、修到不動心 1 Everything begins with the mind. The mind is the center of a person. All changes in humans begin with their mental state. The mind is not of flesh. It has spiritual awareness. 1 一切都從「心」開始。人的變化都從心理開始，所以「心」是人的中心。但是這個心，不是血肉的心，而是靈覺的心。 2 A spiritually aware mind is the master of a person. Church doctrine states that before the mind can…

一六六、天道忌漏 1 I have been telling everybody that the most violated taboo among Dao seekers is “outflowing.” When jing, qi, and shen flow out of the body naturally, it does no harm to the body. Be sure not to force it. 1 我一再告訴大家，修道人最犯的忌，就是「漏」。自然的漏對身體沒有損傷。要自然的漏，但不要有人為的漏。 2 In order to cultivate the Dao, the first step is controlling…

一六五、忠貞不貳勇猛精進 1 If a Dao cultivator does not go through trials and tribulations, he cannot attain the Dao and become successful. You need to endure all trials and tribulations. You need to endure tests. 1 一個修道人如果沒有磨考是不會成道，不會成功的。要禁得起千磨百煉，要禁得起磨考才行。 2 Enduring them means your Dao mindset remains firm. In my own case, I still believe in God and…

一六四、默默耕耘　應元救劫 1 Do the best you can. When the time comes, as the nonphysical force entrusts you with your mission, everything will change. As long as you shoulder some of the major responsibilities from heaven, you will know what to do and you will be able to do it. 1 要盡其在我。時間一到，無形會把任務加在我們的身上，令一切轉變！當責任加在我們身上時，如同天將降大任，我們就會樣樣都行，福至心靈。 2 You need to…

一六三、奮鬥之道 1 The first way of striving is chanting the Grand Orison. When chanting the Grand Orison, you are on your hands and knees, coordinating your breathing with each prostration. From a viewpoint of exercising, this is a whole body workout. 1 第一個奮鬥方法是唸皇誥。唸皇誥時必須五體投地，調和呼吸。以運動立場而言，這就是全身活動。 2 When you chant the Grand Orison daily for a hundred days,…

一六二、以三心來奮鬥 1 To strive within oneself is to resolve issues of birth, aging, diseases and death. After birth, everyone goes through diseases, aging, and death. 1 所謂向自己奮鬥，就是解決生、老、病、死的基本問題。一個人生下來，都不免病、老、死。 2 As we live in the red dust, we are confronted by selfish desires, bouncing around the seven emotions and six desires which contaminate our mind. Many diseases…

一六一、人道天道反其道而行 1 I am not against marriage. This is the human Dao, and it is natural. Yet each one of you comes from different origin and with different missions, and your assignments depend on whether you have unusual origins and unusual missions. 1 我不是反對結婚，這是人道，[是]應該的啊！但每個人的來根與使命不同。這要看你的來根是不是非常的來根，你的使命是不是非常的使命。 2 If your initial assignment was to come to the world…

一六０、急頓法門修煉封靈 1 In every dynasty throughout the millennia of Chinese history, there were people who attained the Dao and became immortals. We are now in the industrial age. Since 1931, the start of the Phase of Onset, the beginning phase of the End Time of the Third Epoch, it has been difficult to cultivate by…

一五九、昊天心法與急頓法門 1 The “Chinese Original Quiet Sitting” comes from one continuous line from God. When the term the “Supreme Truth- Blossom Vehicle Method for reaching the highest heaven” is mentioned, you know it comes directly from God. Chinese Original Quiet Sitting of the Lord of Universe Church comes directly from the Hierarch of the Church.…
