Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature

　　Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature is not only the method of enlightening yourself directly by introspecting and the method of saving all the sentiment beings but also the important approach for the disciples of Xuan Ling Qigong to practice perfection to prove Tao. This introspecting way can inspire your congenital wisdom, wake each of you whose true nature as been covered to see the light suddenly and relax your body and mind, thus, clean your soul, and strengthen your resolve to prove Tao. It can produce the immediate energy effect.

　　 When practicing Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature, you need to understand the meaning of "introspecting". Introspecting means to see, to inspect, and to examine your flaws. The ancient said, "I examine myself three times every day", which means to examine yourself again and again every day, and inspect you for your flaws. Only through examining and inspecting, can you understand, awake, realize the flaws and change your direction of life to return to the original good of nature.

　　 Only after your goal towards good has been clear will you have the basis of the virtue.

　　 Since the very ancient time, the Confucianism has paid attention to the virtuous quality; the Buddhism, virtues and merits; and the Taoism, the virtues and Tao. Although they are different in rank, achievement and moral good, but they all advocate the virtues. Do you know what it means? The ancients said "The heaven treats us equally without any discrimination, and always helps the one of virtue, and the greater the virtue you have, the more the aids he will lend to you". To introspect critically to return to the original good of nature is to conform to the law of nature, laying stress on cultivating virtue and abiding by virtue.

　　 The ancients also said: "In order to make us leave the reputation for ever, the first thing we should do is to establish the virtue; the second is to perform meritorious deeds, and the third, to write books to expound the doctrine". The three things above can remain unshakable as time goes by, so they're called "the three immortal", but we can see, among them, the level of the virtue is the highest. Confucius once said: "Man of virtue must leave the famous remark, but the one leaving the famous remark may not be of virtue." Which means the one with the great virtue must leave his famous remark; however, the one leaving the famous remark may not have the virtue. Chinese national culture is with long history, but the traditional moral concept is consistent, furthermore, it's carried out, developed and perfected continuously, which proves clearly that the level of the virtue is the highest. The creditable deeds can be forgotten, the speech can fall into oblivion, and only the virtue can overstep the space-time and can't be discarded. Therefore, the ancients said: "Man of virtue can't be conquered". To practice Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature is to reach the realm of virtue, thus ascending the solid ladder of practicing perfection.

　　 Although Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature is precise and to the point, we can't practice it easily for it's difficult for us to "introspect" and "return to the original good of nature". We live in the helter-skelter society and the old sins of history and the degeneration of the world cause our pure nature being fogged and polluted by the common customs and inoculated by the corrupted current, it's not easy for most of us to free or save ourselves, or all the intelligent and wise to become conscious suddenly to be away from the wrong path since many of the sentiment beings are accustomed to adhering stubbornly to errors, or living as if intoxicated or dreaming, or paying a high price for being too clever, or vegetating; or being impervious to reason, seized with crazy ideas, stupid, bigoted, or opinionated.

　　 Therefore, as the existence of history and reality, and the mission of civilization, Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature shoulders heavy responsibilities because what we face are the living people, the fogged bodies and the polluted souls, and it's very difficult for everyone to face himself, find himself and conquer himself. We'll analyze the still small voice here, the one can hear this voice should comprehend carefully, and what you feel will depend on your reply:

　　 You can ask yourself the following questions: Are you frank, openhearted or magnanimous? Are you ambitious or upright? Do you believe that there are the deities three feet over your head and both the ghosts and gods can't be deceived? Do you laugh off the mysterious and profound Taoist and Buddhist principles, disdaining to cast a look at them; or half believe, half doubt, namely not study them after hearing them; or believe in the mystery of them without any doubt, venerate them deeply, thus having faith in them? Are you greatly shocked as if being thundered when you hear that "The one doesn't seek the Great Tao to follow the right path is not the true man"?

　　 Maybe you consider yourself no ordinary being, but do you find your unordinary point? Do you know that you can perfect your unordinary spirit by introspecting to return to the original good of nature, accumulating the virtues and merits and learning from the enlightened master?

　　 Maybe you profess to be above politics and worldly considerations, but can you be as clean as the lotus flowers keeping pure in spite of growing in the mud and regard the fame and wealth as wastes? Can you be like the ancient sages who led the simple and unadorned life but never felt ashamed or bitter for it?

　　 Maybe you are very pleased with yourself, but at the same time, do you find your ignorance needing transformed and shallowness needing enriched urgently? Do you find your place in the universe when taking great pride in the worldly fame or wealth? Can you distinguish your level in that special realm or in the ideological sphere? Do you think about all these above?

　　 Maybe you will be intoxicated with self-satisfaction, but do you know the eternal dialectics between gain and loss? Do you know the truth that to gain is to lose, and to lose the gain is the true gain? Do you only persist in the flashy fame or petty profit but not know where you are from and where to go at all? Can you deserve to be called the wiser, being worthy of reveling?

　　 Maybe you are self-appreciated, but can you see your true nature?

　　 Maybe you deceive others as well as yourself, but do you know all things will become empty, and nothing but the sins will follow you once you've died? Can you comprehend the profound mysterious principles in it?

　　 Maybe you are self-important, but do you know there are skies beyond the skies, and there are covered talents surpassing the talents? Are you the saint or the celestial beings?

　　 Maybe you once abandoned yourself to despair, or deeply felt yourself inferior, but all these will be of no importance for if you can comprehend the value of your life, and find the hope that the mysterious Gods lay on you, becoming excited over it, keep up your spirit, and do all you can to pursue a kind of lofty good, then, the promising desire will prompt you to face any challenge full of hardships and setbacks fearlessly, striding ahead, which means your spirit will be regenerated and the new life will begin.

　　 Perhaps you never live as the above or only sometimes as the above, but you should introspect anyway. The ancients said: "It'll be rare and commendable for us to be afraid that the new start can't be up to standard and the evils can't be eradicated completely." To introspect critically to return to the original good of nature is to go deep to the principle and study it endlessly. If you can't comprehend it, the new start will not be able to reach the extremely high level and the perfect degree; the same, you must understand the principle of repenting of the evils, or else, the hidden damage of the evil will be left.

　　 Since you need to put a lot of time in introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, how can you comprehend the corresponding principle and be up to the standard of practicing perfection, or how can you introspect critically to return to the original good of nature?

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, the first thing we should do is to give up the obsceneness and the stealing. The ancient said: "The obsceneness is the root of all evils", so the most important commandment is not to be obscene. Only after you've reported devoutly, can you gather the essence of the sun and the moon, and the vital qi of the mountains and the rivers. Otherwise, it'll be equal to the stealing.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to abstain from greed. The greed includes that presumptuously take and evilly seek, and be insatiably avaricious; stint the properties and seize by force; try to obtain profit for yourself together with others; amass wealth by heavy taxation and be self-seeking; look for the treasure widely and appropriate the favorite things for yourself once seeing them; hate others for they give things to the other people instead of giving you; grab the belongings; be happy to be feted, indulging in the wine and dinner, and don't know to give up or moderate; desire for an easy life; be greedy for money, love, Qigong power, and food, etc. All these above are all called greed. It'll be impossible for you to practice Tao if the greed can't be given up. Because the greed comes from the heart, you should control your mind when abstaining from the greed, to control your mind means to purify your mind, to purify your mind means to cultivate you, if you are not purified completely, the greed will not be dispelled, and you will not be able to practice the true Tao.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to abstain from killing. The killing includes that illegally kill the innocent persons, kill the people or the beings, advise others to kill, kill for hate, and commit suicide; kill and wound the sentiment beings; entangle birds or beasts with cages, networks or covers; hunt with bows and arrows, swords and spears; and even fish. The ancient said: "Fishing is really interesting, but the small fishhook hangs the power of life and death". It also includes that dig the soil presumptuously, destroy the mountains and rivers, drain the pond, set fire on the ground, splash the hot water at random, look for the nests to destroy, beat the six domestic animals (the pig, ox, goat, horse, fowl and dog) rashly, and dig out the hibernating animals to make them die. These above actions all contain the killing motive. For the practicers, to love and do the favor to all the sentiment beings mean to form ties of kindness widely, eliminating the sins completely. You'll not only destroy the ecological balance but also seed the evil cause that will make you suffer from the retributions if you rashly kill and wound the sentiment beings. Besides stopping killing human beings and animals, you shouldn't fell the plants illegally, for burning down the trees of the mountains, felling the trees and weeding out the flowers and grass harbor the killing and felling motives.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to pay attention to morality and self-cultivation, and you should abstain from flaunt. You may not tell others that you can help them to see the true celestial beings, or tell them you can cure some disease, and you can't treat until the family member of the patient comes to invite you; moreover, you shouldn't accept the courtesy of others rashly, and on this and like occasions, you should think that your are not worthy to be treated with courtesy because of lack of ability, and your name doesn't match to the reality; you shouldn't write the big characters for others carelessly, or show off your collection of books. The above things contain many mysterious principles that should be studied carefully; the key lies in how much you can comprehend. Furthermore, you should abstain from the other points, such as: talk wildly or write the ornate words; be jealousy; offend against marriage of others; enjoy the delicious food alone; be self-opinionated; be proud and brutal; take advantage of yours or other people's power to bully people; be arrogant; be self-worship; despise the superior of others, bully or ignore the elder deliberately, etc.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to abstain from luxury, namely you shouldn't live high. You shouldn't use the gold or jade tableware, live in the house with many doors or being magnificent, sleep in the big and spacious bed with gorgeous bedding. The ancients also advocated "The clothes for four seasons shouldn't be over three suits"; otherwise, you'll be thought as the extravagant. And "you should pay attention to thrift, follow the example of the sages, and lead a very simple life". Therefore, the ancients thought "The luxury will reduce happiness while the frugality can help us cultivate virtues".

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to abstain from anger. When you become angry, the blood will arise and both your soul and spirit will be shocked, so every one of us should think the future trouble and the reason before getting angry. The fury or the flaring up will cause that the anger rises to your head; boiling with rage or glaring at others will do harm to your spirit and livers; and betraying your angry shows you are short of self-cultivation. Someone thinks that "Don't hate others is equal to abiding by the commandment, and keep quiet is equal to leaving home to become monk or nun", which is the best motto to help us abstain from anger.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you should pay attention to abiding by the commandment carefully in all respects. If you're a master, you shouldn't slight over the disciples, or favor any of them, or spoil the evil for the good; if you're a disciple, you shouldn't make comment on your master, or be disloyal to his will. You shouldn't inquire about the confidential affairs of the military or the state, practice divination, abduct women or children, write letter to humiliate others, or backbite. All these above are the principles should be known in the process of practicing Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you need to practice the proprieties. The ancients said "One won't be able to conduct himself in the society if he doesn't know the proprieties." "Don't see, listen to, speak or do it if it's not in conformity with the proprieties." Then, what's the meaning of that "Don't see it if it's not in conformity with the proprieties"?

　　 In brief, peep through the wall or pole to see the opposite sex; presumptuously take the books or letters of others; look about the home of the host at random as a guest, etc. all should be prohibited. As a practicer of practicing perfection, you should know the soul stay at liver since the liver is the living place for the soul, the eyes are the doors of the liver, and your soul will be at peace if you see less.

　　 Then, what's the meaning of that "Don't speak it if it's not in conformity with the proprieties"? The one talks rashly or is happy to seek gossip should attend to this point. Talk about something of others is bad, and something of yours is good, or which food of others is delicious, and which is bad; discuss right and wrong, clamor loudly in public; make frivolous remarks about others; sow discord; publicize the secrets of others; and take delight in speaking ill of others, etc. All these above belong to the things that can't be spoken because they're not in conformity with the proprieties. In addition, you shouldn't limit others in purpose, or make comments about various kinds of natural disasters.

　　 Then, what's the meaning of that "Don't listen to it if it's not in conformity with the proprieties"? It means that anything can't be seen or spoken for it's not in conformity with the proprieties shouldn't be listened to.

　　 Then, what's the meaning of that "Don't do it if it's not in conformity with the proprieties"? It means not to act rashly. You shouldn't gad about, namely to move about restlessly and with little purpose; or follow the common customs to attend the funeral procession but should mourn silently and secretly when this kind of things happen; or collude with others; or only regard the clan as relative, or be too narrow-minded but should regard people all over the world as your siblings; or cast dirt into the wells or rivers to pollute the water; or worship the ghosts or deities that you shouldn't worship for the Confucian said: "If you offer the sacrifice to the ghosts whose offering shouldn't be presented by you, you fawn on them"; or pray for blessing after doing the evil deeds; or take things of others to make a gift of it; or write the deed for others rashly; or buy or sell the land or house for others; or enjoy the prank; or drive without cause or reason, or get together for nothing, eating and drinking too much, etc.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you should be with the great wisdom and courage, but what are the great wisdom and courage? Living in the material world with many evils and few kindnesses, and being in the adversity, you shouldn't be sad or unhappy but should be self-confident to make unremitting efforts to improve yourself, and be self-respect to lead a clean life. Even if being infringed on or slandered by others, you shouldn't become depressed or timid but should firmly believe the principle that "Each practicer must be protected by the doctrine-protect masters naturally since he (she) practices Tao"

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you should be superior in wisdom and behavior. What's to be superior in wisdom and behavior? It means to "Be away from the evil place, and don't be greedy for fame or fortune". Avoid the evil person, as you know the good bird often choose the good tree to perch.

　　 When introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you should be extremely open-minded and magnanimous. When being abused, only listen instead of answering back. Return good for evil, and don't complain or return evil for evil. You should keep indifferent to both the slander and the praise; accept, tolerate, and dissolve the censures and slanders with smile. In a word, if you face anything mercifully, your mind will be as open as the sea and sky, and you will have boundless beneficence. A thousand-mile journey is started by the first step, and it'll be not easy for you to put the above principles into practice if you haven't purified your mind over a long period of time, but it's also the touchstone to distinguish the heroes from the commonplace.

　　 In short, when introspecting critically to return to the original good of nature, you should bear the aspirations for Tao and the Taoist thoughts in mind constantly, and your mind should be different from the common customs while being in harmony with the material world. You should set up the lofty aspirations and keep them firm and steadfast often, being never unworthy of the hope of the great masters. You should observe the commandment strictly, and regard the heart fast as the highest realm of fast.

　　 What's the heart fast? It means to empty the brain, getting rid of all desires; clean the spirit, making your heart as pure as a lily, remove the filth; and dispel the worries, clearing up the wishful thinking. Only after you've been light-hearted, can you be absorbed in Tao; and only without addictions or desires, can you be happy to practice Tao; and only without sins or worries, can you correspond to Tao. If you can practice Tao heart and soul, you will follow the heart fast. People achieving the highest level practice the heart fast, and it's the highest realm of fast, and the true skills. Somebody says that "It'll benefit you nothing even you worship on bended knees for one hundred times if your heart is not pure; but it'll do you great favor even you only burn one joss stick if you're quite pious", which shows the absolute purity and sincerity is the heart fast.

　　 To return to the original good of nature is to take compassion on and love all the sentiment beings. Even burning one joss stick to make the vow, you should pray for all humanity, wishing for world peace and prosperity instead of blessing yourself only. This shows that the great vow is selfless.

　　 Therefore, we can see that to introspect critically to return to the original good of nature is to examine yourself three times every day like the ancient, to inspect yourself carefully every day, cleanse the heart, see your true nature, clear away the dust and dirt contaminating at any time, practice Tao heart and soul, accumulate merits piously, and do more good works to change the evil causes. "Cause produces effect, and effect presupposes the cause"; "Your present situation is decided by your past behavior, and your future will be decided by your present behavior"; "Good will be rewarded with good, and evil with evil"; "Do the least good in spite of the least, and don't do the least evil for it's least"; "If you can observe the commandment, or remove the bad to follow the good after violating it on time, you'll be able to change your future"; "Even you once did the evil, if you can repent of them and mend your ways in time, and create no evil but only do the good works for a long period of time, you'll be able to change the causes of evils and achieve the spiritual state of the immoral", which means God helps the man of virtue change disasters into fortunes. But only after you've become conscious, cultivated virtues and practiced, been diligent, endured hardships, and sought the way of longevity day and night, can you be able to practice Tao, seek the great Tao and practice it successfully.

　　 Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature is a try made by "Xuan Ling Qigong" to moralize and perfect the world.

　　 There is neither love without cause, nor hate without cause in the world, and all run according to their own laws. To know clearly the origin of all things, to see the nature of life, and to understand the law of movement of things is the attempt never being given up by humanity since their birthday, and science is powerless in front of it. Everyone unwilling to idle away his life will engage in the attempt, furthermore, humanity won't stop this exploring until they are distinct.

　　 We show you here is only a method, a method for you to understand the world through your hearts. The ancients said: "People's mind can reflect the nature of heaven, their mind have two sides, their congenital mind reflects the nature of heaven, and their acquired mind is tricky " Although we can't make everyone sense the voice of heaven and earth and the life, all of them sense at all times. Therefore, we can only give you some clues, through which we hope you can go ahead, and feel the shock in your heart of hearts, thus making you wish to know yourself, to know the life and the origin of nature. Then, what we do here will be successful.

　　 We show here is not the final conclusion but only a reference, for it'll be a kind of tragedy and sadness if our behaviors and thoughts fall into a set pattern. Hence, the predecessors told us: "All composed things are like a dream, a phantom, a drop of dew, a flash of lightning. That is how to meditate on them, that is how to observe them". The inexhaustible vigor arises from a quiet, peaceable, simple, gentle and empty heart, however, only after seeing clearly yourself as well as the world can you enter into such state…

　　 Method of Introspecting Critically to Return to the Original Good of Nature begins:

　　 Xin sheng yu wu si yu wu,

　　 En li sheng sha hai cang en,

　　 Shui zhi tian di fan fu li,

　　 Long she qi lu xing chen fu.

　　 Things produce the ideas, and at the same time, cease the ideas,

　　 Favor can destroy us while harm can benefit us.

　　 If you can master the principle of the change between Yin and Yang,

　　 You'll be able to conform to nature and control it.

　　 Each of us has some unusual experience in the life, but only a very few think about what the unusual mean, and what the usual mean. This kind of rumination is called "self-examination" or "introspection".

　　 The world runs according to its law in spite of our carelessness, and all run in spite of our carelessness.

　　 But who can tell what all these mean to us?

　　 The existence of humanity is very short, but heaven and earth is eternal. Who is the real master? The answer goes without saying.

　　 It's impossible for us to think about, or to understand so many things in our lives, which is caused by our carelessness, our self-confidence, our pride of place, or the lack of real courage?

　　 The eternal is still eternal, and the short is still short, and all things go as if they never happened.

　　 Who can really prove the relations between himself and the world, himself and nature, or himself and heaven and earth?

　　 Do you really understand yourself?

　　 Maybe we'll be very busy to satisfy our endless desires, or even sacrifice our lives in the busyness to satisfy our desires! But who can cherish the thoughts flashing at the little leisure?

　　 In life, so many things need us to do, such as, to grow up, to read, to love, to marry, to bear children, to support our parents, and to bring up children, even to keep busy on the run for his (or her) living. We need to raise our family, and to be busy for the living of ourselves and many other things besides living.

　　 All these above are worth it, but are they the whole life?

　　 In the stillness of the night when being relieved of the fatigue, you can look for the stars in the sky (for we've already been away from nature), unload many heavy mental burdens, free from all the moods, and try to feel all the things that still run despite of being neglected by us. Do you feel them, do you hear them, or understand their real meaning?

　　 One who really understands the relations between humanity and nature is great!

　　 One who really knows him himself is great!

　　 Where am I from and where am I to go? What do the physical bodies mean to us, and what do the living lives mean to us?

　　 In the eyes of heaven and earth and nature, there is no the concept of science, and science is only the summary that humanity gives to heaven and earth, nature and the ripe concepts known by them no matter these concepts are permanent or transient.

　　 In the realm through which humanity explores the nature of life, there shouldn't be the concept of science, for it'll bind our spirits.

　　 If we're keeping busy in the lifetime, it'll be a kind of sadness for we don't know what we live for; if we're only carefree and leisure, it'll also be a kind of sadness for we haven't really lived!

　　 Heaven and earth is inexorable, and in the eyes of the heaven and earth, there is no difference between the great and the petty, the noble and the lowly, the success and the failure, the rich and the poor, as well as the life and the death. And all the differences only come from the subjective imagination of humanity?

　　 Among all things, heaven and earth is the most impartial, for all we've done will be answered!

　　 What we've conquered is nature or ourselves?

　　 What we've lost is nature or ourselves?

　　 We needn't to seek the answers, for all of them are seen by heaven and earth, and recorded by the fleeting time.

　　 We never go towards only one direction in the past, present or future, and we'll find the awaiting eyes watching us with concerns when we turn around suddenly by accident.

　　 All the concepts are not the end of our thoughts but only a kind of assumption given under the particular circumstance.

　　 Our busyness is worth it, as you know:

　　 When being a baby, we've understood the relations between falsehood and reality, existence and nonexistence, light and dark, as well as heaven and earth.

　　 When being a child, we've understood the relations between the true and the false, the good and the kind, the big and the small, as well as the parents and the child.

　　 When being a teenager, we've understood the relations between beauty and ugliness, good and bad, gain and loss, as well as hope and disappointment.

　　 When being an adult, we've understood the relations between Yin and Yang, man and woman, life and death, as well as essence and appearance.

　　 When being a parent, we've understood the relations between responsibility and inevitability, sadness and free, success and failure, busyness and leisure, children and us, as well as enterprising and introspection.

　　 When being died, we'll understand all the secrets between life and body, as well as life and heaven and earth.

　　 Everyone's fate can be changed since the heaven and earth gives us the equal opportunity.

　　 All the work is worth it, for they let us approach our origin continuously, they exhaust us, at the same time, make us understand the way of replenishing our life.

　　 Everyone's life is of value, and it's the journey we must go…

　　 Living with parents makes us know bestowing favors and repaying kindness.

　　 Living with husband (or wife) makes us clear about the marriage and the mutual aid.

　　 Living with children makes us understand sacrifice and remolding.

　　 Living with friends makes us learn to love without distinction and become composed.

　　 Living with ourselves makes us finish the mission and the return.

　　 The benevolence of the heaven is variant, so is its power and prestige. And all the things around us are only the good luck heaven and earth bestows on us.

　　 Humanity has to return for they have no way out, and the return of life lies in that we've clearly understood the true nature of life.

　　 In the eyes of heaven and earth, all things around us are only a kind of necessity, but only we ourselves are intoxicated in the gain and loss of the necessity.

　　 What we fear most is to face ourselves!

　　 Maybe we've committed, maybe we've been perplexed for a long period, or we'll remain perplexed or committed…

　　 However, we've known how to master our own fate, and we ourselves will take all the consequences.

　　 Maybe we'll never be great, but we'll be sensible, and sober, and master our own fate from this time on for we've had the courage to face ourselves.

　　 All burdens will be laid down, and will be loaded by these who will. Maybe there is no difference between the right way and the wrong way we go all along…

　　 There are many beautiful or ugly things which can make us move towards the enlightenment, they are the sun, the moon, the earth, the stars, the lotus flowers, the soil, the mountains, the water, the trees, the grass, the wind, the rain, the thunder, the lightning, the tears, the excitement or the blood…

　　 However, only we ourselves can grasp them…

　　 All the doors to future are not shut but await us to open, await the moment all the nightmare and fantasies are destroyed by the flash spirits accumulated for thousands of years, and await the moment when the false coverings weaved by ourselves the lifelong cover our spirits are completely torn, a new life which is beautiful or ugly, soft but strong, without any consciousness of defend but can be hurt by nothing is born, heaven and earth await him (or her) with tears for a long period, a pair of merciful palms will hold it, and the lotus flowers in the dream will bless and protect him (or her).

　　 Then, we'll have known ourselves, and known the meaning of life really, so we'll have already become great, and become immortal in a new world…

　　 We'll go on, maybe we'll be more painful, or we won't know our existence for we're so ordinary and that we will disappear from the memory of humanity or the memory of ourselves.

　　 However, we'll master our fate by ourselves and value our every second, and we'll be contented to get along with the ordinary people, being still but without any unreasonable demand, simple but not greedy. Let us only be the good child of our parents, the good partner of our wife (or husband), the good parent of our children, and the true warmth of our friends.

　　 What we can do for this world is only these above no matter we've been forgotten by the world.

　　 The one who really knows himself is great, he is great not for being understood or acknowledged but for the life has already embraced him, heaven and earth has already embraced him, and all the doors in the world have opened for him (or her)…

　　 Let the victor become the victor, the great become the great, and we'll be only ourselves. We'll be quiet, peaceable, simple, gentle and empty! What's nearest to us will be the pulse of heaven and earth, which will give us the endless motive force, make us know the eternal, lead us to know the true nature and to conquer the life.

　　 Our life will be eternal, in our eyes, there will be no difference between the beauty and the ugliness, the tall and the short, the fat and the thin, the good and the evil, all will be beautiful for their own beauty, and glitter for their own rays.

　　 All the lives are valuable for they're endowed by heaven and earth, all the sounds are sweet for they're sent forth during the run of heaven and earth, all the smells are fragrant for they're given out naturally, and all the feelings are natural for we won't distinguish them by hearts anymore…

　　 We'll go ahead, for we'll have to go; we'll return, for which will make us approach our origin.

　　 All the languages are empty and just the spiritual thinking can perceive. Only when you can't distinguish the good from the evil will you find the world is really the Pure Land
