- Master JiGong told his disciples,
- "You should know that within the TAO
fields
- You may not be able to acquire the
experience of society
- Yet, within the TAO fields
- You may acquire the morality of society to
its utmost perfection
- If a person wants to gain a foothold in
the society
- It is not enough having wealth, fame and a
desire for progress
- If you do not possess that portion of
virtuous conduct
- With what are you going to show people?
- The general public in the society regard
educational degree
- As the most high and the most superior
- Yet, how many people use degree to
understand the Truth-Principle?
- Hopefully, you disciples do not only look
at things
- That bear shapes and forms (think highly
of status, wealth….etc)
- We must let our heart and soul be able to
grow to maturity
- We must let our heart and soul be able to
reach loftiness and nobility"
- Once I met a monk and I told him about TAO
- He had been to a temple of TAO
- And he really admired the discipline there
- The conduct and manner that the devotees showed
- He wished that he could see it in the Buddhist temple
- Recently he attended a Three-Day Holy Seminar in a TAO temple
- After that he immediately cut off taking meat and wished to
practise TAO
- He was a good monk with good character and polite towards others
- During the seminar Master JiGong spoke to him
- He was very touched and showed gratefulness
- As Master JiGong was a monk in his previous life thousand of
years ago
- Buddhists who know this usually will show respect
- Because of the great virtues, sacrifices and compassion that he
had done
- That earned him one of the most respected Immortals among the
Chinese
- And million of temples set up in honor of him to offer prayers
and devotion
- In terms of discipline for the TAO cultivators
- Immortal KUAN TI is the Chief Discipline Master appointed by LAO
MU
- KUAN TI is the most popular Immortal among the Chinese Taoism
- Because of his great merits, righteousness and discipline when
he was a man
- LAO MU appointed him to guide TAO devotees
- He is an example for TAO devotees to follow in terms of
discipline
- This is the reason why there is great discipline in the TAO
temple
- And admired by the monk and millions who know
- It is for this very reason that Master JiGong said
- That you may acquire the morality of society to its Utmost
Perfection
- The rules and by-laws are set up by the Immortals in the TAO
temple
- Upon order by LAO MU
- Praise be to LAO MU
