二七六、掌握生命與時間 1 Everybody needs to know that heaven and the human world have different values. Worldly people value wealth whereas the spiritual world values merits, virtues, and the achievements of Dao cultivation (i.e. effort in quiet sitting). 1 大家要知道，天上人間的價值觀念不同。人間物質世界重財富，精神世界以功德、道行（靜坐功夫）為重。 2 Life is short. We cannot control time. No matter how much wealth one has, he…

二七五、上帝的教化無所不在 1 When I came to the Los Angeles Principal Hall for the new building inauguration ceremony, I wrote a couplet which says: 1 此次來主持洛杉磯教院新廈落成啟用典禮，親自撰寫了一幅對聯： 2 “The Dao [of the universe] created the nonphysical beings and the physical beings; both embrace and give thanks to God’s teachings. The universe is at God’s mercy; the universe…

二七四、天人炁功兩誠相感 1 The prerequisites for doing Cosmic Qi Healing are for the healer, first, to be physically healthy with no mental problems, and have an orderly lifestyle. Secondly, the healer must be merciful, sympathetic and compassionate. Anyone who challenges the effectiveness of the healing is definitely not qualified to be a healer. 1 為人做天人炁功，第一個條件是自己本身沒有病，至少心理上沒有病，生活要有規律。第二個條件，是能夠發慈悲心、同情心、憐憫心。存了試驗的心，就不合施診的條件。 2…

二七三、天下為公　敢作敢為 1 Save when you can and spend when you must. For important issues I will not hesitate to spend money on lengthy newspaper advertisements. Why is that? This spending is for the future of the Lord of Universe Church and for our country. 1 該省的要省，該用的要用。我對重要的問題，都不惜登長篇廣告，為什麼？這是為天帝教、為國家的前途。 2 We would rather save on other accounts, yet…

二七二、宗教大同、世界大同、天人大同 1 The Lord of Universe Church is eternal. It is to pass down God’s teachings from generation to generation. 1 天帝教是永久的。天帝教是要把　上帝的教化一代一代地傳下去。 2 There are Six Phases of the End Time of the Third Epoch: “Onset, Purification, Leveling, Spring, Abundance, and Unity.” The duration of each phase depends on how the atmosphere of nature is…

二七一、隨分守法 1 Back in the years when I moved to Mount Hua, I was determined to “be content with my fortune and obey the law.” I kept that same mindset until the revival of the Lord of Universe Church. 1 我當年上華山就抱定「隨分守法」，一直到天帝教復興還是一樣。 2 The Lord of Universe Church has no conflicts of interest with anyone, whether…

二七０、天帝教的必修課程 1 The Anthro-Celestial Research College does not meet the requirements of the nonphysical realm as it has not developed its roots! These roots are the Church doctrine, the Church Charter, the Mindfulness of the Highest Heaven Method, Church History, and the Sacred Messages. Because you did not study these five subjects, you overlooked them.…

二六九、自救救人　自度度人 1 We have been offering Chinese Original Quiet Sitting Classes since July 1979. The purpose has been to turn persons of affinity into disciples of the Lord of Universe Church. 1 民國六十八年七月開始舉辦正宗靜坐班，就是要引度原人皈依帝門。 2 Persons of affinity have come down to Earth. While living in the red dust [world], they are blinded by the seven…

二六八、弘教先要傳道　傳道先要修道 1 The Lord of Universe Church preaches and at the same time works on saving the world from holocausts. To preach God’s teachings, we must sermonize first. Before we sermonize, we must first and foremost cultivate the Dao, in order to groom a group of true preachers. We are here to save the world…

二六七、隨緣度人 1 [You must] cultivate the Dao, endeavor in the Anthro-Celestial Study, and at the same time face reality. This is because we are here not only to attend to our virtues in solitude but also to expand and make the entire world virtuous as well, and we are going to introduce the Church to…
