    二六六、有形無形共同奮鬥 1 The nonphysical luminorium organization has the presiding spirit, deputy presiding spirit, the chief guardian and each striver’s engendered spirit. They all work together to bring into full play the power for “transforming the nonphysical into the physical.” 1 無形之光殿組織,有殿主、副殿主、總護法,以及各位同奮的原靈,在無形中充分發揮「無形應化有形」的力量。 2 I always tell everyone in the Chinese Original Quiet Sitting Class that before…

    二六五、以普化天帝教為己任 1 The revival of the Lord of Universe Church is requiring all members to stand proudly between heaven and earth, and make expanding the Lord of Universe Church throughout the world their personal responsibility. Think: “who else should go but me”? All of you strivers, males and females alike, must have this attitude. 1…

  • 264. Teaching without Discrimination

    二六四、有教無類 1 I set one principle before we offered any Chinese Original Quiet Sitting Classes in the Lord of Universe Church: no classification, no caste system, and teaching without discrimination. 1 天帝教在開始辦正宗靜坐班以前,我就決定一個原則:沒有階級觀念,主張有教無類。 2 This is particularly true in quiet sitting. Quiet sitting has to do with one’s innate origin. If there are restrictions, teaching will…

    二六三、天帝教的輔翼團體 1 There are four affiliated organizations of the Lord of Universe Church that have various types of activities. 1 天帝教有四個輔翼團體可以從事各種活動: 2 The first organization is the Republic of China [R.O.C.] Religious Philosophy Association. It is the precursor of the Lord of Universe Church. The second organization is the R.O.C. Red Heart Society. The third…

  • 262. Female Strivers Should Also Make Big Vows

    by

    in

    二六二、坤道也要發大願 1 When a female striver comes to the age of menopause, her menstrual cycle stops naturally. To wish to terminate menstruation before menopause, she has to make big vows. It is the only way. 1 坤道到了更年期,自自然然天癸就斷了。在更年期以前能夠先斷,就要靠發大願。發大願才有希望能夠提前斷。 2 The main thing is to be able to return to the source, to be one with heaven.…

  • 261. Standing Proudly between Heaven and Earth; Being True to One’s Responsibilities

    by

    in

    二六一、頂天立地 盡忠職守 1 It is not an easy thing to cultivate a talent. Strivers should not expect themselves to be ordinary persons. You should wish to stand proudly between heaven and earth. You should do something significant in the history of the Lord of Universe Church that is worth remembering by others, such as preaching the…

  • 260. Pursuing Good Deed Opportunities Aggressively; Accumulating Merits and Virtues

    by

    in

    二六0、爭功爭德與培功立德 1 Everyone should understand the reason for pursuing opportunities to do good deeds aggressively, versus accumulating virtues. Pursuing opportunities to do good deeds aggressively requires one to take action while accumulating virtues is somewhat passive. 1 大家要懂得爭功爭德、培功立德的道理。爭功爭德就是要主動,採取積極主動。培功立德多少帶一點被動性質。 2 Every rightful religion’s starting point is to benefit others, to do things for others. Hence, all…

    by

    二五九、體天行道 1 It is imperative to groom a group of superb preachers to spread the words of the great Dao of the universe in order to save the people of the world, and to preach to all people on Earth, not just to a few. 1 要救天下的人,傳道給天下的人,不是為少數人打算,是要培養一批 上帝的弘教傑出幹部,去傳布 上帝的宇宙大道。 2 We have to be saved first before…

    by

    二五八、做宇宙先鋒奠人間教基 1 I have one vow, which is to build the foundation of the Church on Earth. We have to build a foundation on Earth. Only when the foundation of the Lord of Universe Church is built well can we usher in peace for future generations. 1 我有一個願力-在人間奠教基。要在這一個地球上奠教基,把天帝教的基礎奠定好,才能為萬世開太平。 2 My second vow is to be…

  • 257. Heavenly Mandate Is Our Calling

    by

    in

    二五七、天命即使命 1 I have said this openly before: the so-called heavenly mandate is what was written about in the Book of Documents: “Heaven sees as my people see, Heaven hears as my people hear [the voice of the people is the voice of God].” It means viewing what the people want at any given time…
