一二八、了斷生死永不輪迴 1 From the beginning of each Quiet Sitting Class, the first thing I did for everyone was to perform the “Touch of Dao,” which gives everyone a chance to transform themselves and “open the Gate of Heaven” in order for them to put an end to the cycle of birth and death, so everyone…

一二七、為天下蒼生奮鬥　為自己培養封靈 1 In the End Time of the Third Epoch, it is too late for cultivating the body. For those who are dedicated in cultivating the Dao, a new path, the “Sudden-Path Method” to cultivate conferred spirits has opened up by the mercy of God. 1 由於在三期末劫，修煉肉體已經來不及，慈悲的　上帝，特別開了一條新的道路，給人間有志修道的人，修急頓法門，培養封靈。 2 So long as one can strive to…

一二六、一靈常照 1 What is meant by “one spirit shining constantly?” 1 何謂一靈常照？ 2 The main principles of using the “natural, non-purposive mindfulness of cultivating the great empty Dao of the highest heaven,” are for practitioners to “let go of everything and let everything go. Think of nothing. Let all thoughts go.” This will let you…

一二五、默運祖炁 1 In preparation for quiet sitting, the primordial Qi is drawn in, by way of silent chanting, through the crown of the head and descends to Xingqiao[32] and Minggong.[33] This primordial Qi is God’s perfect spirit- yang Qi. 1 靜坐時「默運祖炁」，就是引祖炁從頂門進入，再到性竅、命宮。所謂默運祖炁的「祖炁」，就是　上帝的靈陽真炁。 2 If our own yin qi is too strong, God’s perfect spirit-yang Qi will…

一二四、廿字洗心滌慮　永保赤子之心 1 Human hearts are full of desires. Everyone wants to pursue sophisticated material enjoyment, taking fame and wealth very seriously, and being unable to control themselves. 1 人心都充滿了慾望。人人想要追求高度的物質享受，把世俗財色名利看得很重，沒有辦法控制自己。 2 Strivers of the Church, once initiated, should use the Twenty Watchwords as their code of life, to turn their mortal hearts back to their original…

一二三、煉成真我才能永生 1 The final aim of quiet sitting is the refinement that yields a true self. 1 靜坐最後的目的，就是希望煉成真我。 2 Each person sitting here today is a “false self.” A bodily envelope. An odorous skin bag. A physical thing with a phenomenal form. A body that must die. 2 今天在座的每一位都是假我，是一個軀殼，是一個有色相的形體，一個必死之身。 3 For as long as the…

一二二、養生之道 1 Although mankind’s intellect ranks the highest in all of creation; however, his lifespan will be no longer than that of an animal if he fails to nurture life. 1 人雖為萬物之靈，但是不知養生保命，其生命之短暫與動物一般。 2 Even small animals like foxes know enough to cultivate, though only for selfish purposes. Fox-spirits draw in the sublimated essence of heaven,…

一二一、靜坐在擴大心胸 1 The goals of most people who engage in quiet sitting are good health and longevity. 1 大家來參加靜坐，大都是為了自己求健康長壽而來。 2 Let us hope everybody expand their mind and change the way they think, so that they can practice the four cardinal disciplines each day. 2 希望大家擴大心胸，轉變觀念，每日做好四門基本修持功課。 3 Let them pray morning and evening to God…

一二０、心定自然運化 1 The fundamental method of quiet sitting is to let everything go so you can settle your mind. Let your bodily qi processes go through their natural change and evolution. 1 靜坐基本的方法，是要把一切統統放下，讓心定下來，聽任生理上氣機自然變化、改造。 2 Let the innate workings of qi proceed naturally in the body, and internalize the knowledge you acquired in class for your…

一一九、打開天門出死入生 1 Quiet sitting requires that we give our physical body a chance to transform and evolve naturally. The goal of quiet sitting cannot be attained in a mere one hundred days, or a year, or even two years. 1 靜坐時一定要聽其生理上自然的變化與改造，但不是一百天、一年、兩年就能達到靜坐的目的。 2 If you prefer not to participate, then so be it.
