附錄：天帝教信徒仍可信仰原來的宗教 　　The Lord of Heaven is the Supreme Being, in whom mankind holds common belief.

The Lord of Heaven worshipped by our church is the supreme power of the cosmos and is…

第九章　新生論 　　In light of the discussion in Chapter Seven, we can give this brief description of the Tao: it is harmony, harmonizing force. That is the truth of connection, intermediaries, linking and bonding together with harmonizing. In ancient Chinese philosophy the original substance of the Tao was the Great Ultimate; in chemistry it is hydrogen…

第八章　相對的真理 　　Applying the above views on harmony and disorder more broadly, it is clear that the universe’s laws are relative. Relativity of truth is a thread of ideas running through this book.

第一節　聖凡平等之意義 　　The first concluding phrase that distills the ideas of this book is the “The Third Theory of Godhood”; the second is “Equality of Sacred and Mundane”.
