28. Praying for Others, Creating Fortune for Ourselves
二八、為別人祈福為自己造命 1 “I control my own destiny.” As long as a person strives, he can create his own destiny.

24. Reflecting Daily and Correcting Our Mistakes
二四、日省吾身 知過必改 1 Confucius said to “stay at a respectful distance from deities and ghosts.” He also said “if a person offends heaven, even if he goes to any temple to pray, it is of no significance and of no use.” 1 孔子講敬鬼神而遠之,又說:「獲罪於天,無所禱也!」 2 From there you know that the Chinese prayed more than two thousand…

21. The Human Dao [Worldly Obligations]
二一、人道 1 I have always advocated “fulfilling your human Dao [worldly obligations] first and then cultivating the heavenly Dao.” Everyone, regardless male or female, grows from youth to maturity, and inevitably has sexual desires. This is part of being alive, since the smallest constituents of our bodies are yin and yang etropons.[7] 1 我一向主張「先盡人道,再修天道。」每個人無論男女,身體發育成熟,必然有性慾,這是與生俱來的。因為人的身體構成份子有陰性、陽性之陰電子、陽電子。 2…
