What is the meaning of “He who attains One is a Saint?”
Wu-ji11 is the origin of Tao, and Tao is the origin of One.
When Wu-ji changes from the ultimate quiescence, One is
generated. This One then multiplied and evolved into the
cosmos and everything within. So when Heaven has One,
it becomes clear and pure. When Earth has One, it settles
quietly. When a man has One, he becomes a Saint.
The five great religions all emphasize One. Buddhism
emphasizes on brightening the heart to see the True Self so
that all Dharmas return to One. Taoism emphasizes on
cultivating the heart to refine the True Self so that one
embraces the Origin and maintains One. Confucianism
emphasizes on holding the heart to cultivate the True Self
so that one can hold fast to the centre and pervade One.
Christianity emphasizes on purifying the heart to align to
the True Self so that one can pray in quiescence and be
close to One. Islam emphasizes on strengthening the heart
to stabilize the True Self so that one is purified and return to
One. The Saints of the five religions preached the practice
of returning to One. Returning to One is the same as returning
to the Heavenly Kingdom of God.
