- Master JiGong advised his disciples,
- "At leisure, don’t just think about
earning money
- Money has four legs and man has two legs
- No matter how hard you run
- You can never catch up with it
- At leisure, spend some time to foster and
nurture your mind and spirit
- Besides learning how to conduct oneself as
a start
- You also need to go and see the mountains
- Go and see the waters and the four seas
(the world)
- That will widen and enlarge our heart and
mind
- Then only can we feel the extensiveness
- In this narrow living space of the society
- Modern people find that even 24 hours a
day is not enough to spend
- This is because they spend the time
seeking a life of material comfort
- Hence, you must spare some time to do what
is beneficial to your mind and body
- It is to cultivate one’s own virtuous
nature
- Being rich is not always safe!
- Take notice that you don’t rush about at
the crossroads
- You must still act according to the rules
- And act with sense according to the Road
of Truth
- This Road of Truth is precisely our Good
Sense & Good Ability"
- What is good sense and good ability?
- It is the intuitive wisdom and power
- The Chinese Saint Meng-Zi said,
- What one knows without forethought is called Good Sense
- What one can do without learning is called Good Ability
- The first thought that is instinct, is pure
- The second thought is usually human, can be good or bad
- When a child suddenly falls into a river
- The instinct of everyone is to jump down to help
- On second thought, many will hesitate
- The instinct is pure because it is the divine nature
- Good sense is the thought without thinking
- Good ability is doing without having to learn how to do
- Upon initiation of TAO
- Good sense and ability are awakened and put into practice
- This is the mysticism of Heaven
- That one can be awakened in just a moment in time
- And transformed instantly
- I have seen many of these in the temple of TAO
- Some instantly become vegetarians
- Some instantly stop all their bad habits
- And start practising TAO
- Thanks be to LAO MU
