- LAO MU on March 24 in the 78th year of
Republic of China wrote a foreword as follows:
-
- "All beings in the world, listen
to LAO MU carefully;
- Point to your Right
Portal, your two
windows can be cleared;
- Hold on to your Right
Portal, your two
eyes will be calmed;
- Open the Right
Portal, shine the eyes.
- All beings in the world, look at LAO MU,
my light;
- LAO MU, my light is infinitely bright.
- Concentrate on your Right Portal,
- You can get rid of the human nature,
- Bring out the true nature,
- And reveal your divine wisdom.
- Unite the true self and life into one
- You’ll realize the mystic nature of
the Right Portal."
-
- The ‘Right Portal’ is also known as
the divine eye, the third eye, the ‘First Heavenly Treasure’ or where the
soul resides in the context of TAO of Heaven.
-
- I sincerely beg for forgiveness from
LAO MU to allow me to write a summary of the Ten Admonitions because I knew this
summary would not be able to convey the full and actual intention of the
admonitions. The actual admonitions in Mandarin are so deep that to explain
itself needed a TAO dictionary to do so. I wish to put it in summary to convey
certain messages because it is the gem and treasure of TAO that nobody can find
it anywhere and for those who are able to read and understand the original
writing, I considered them to be very fortunate. It is the most valuable
Treasure from Heaven to understand the Truth of life and its purpose. It
explained the beginning and the end to come about this world and may I summarize
in simple English the main ingredients of each admonition in the shortest
summary for the benefits of the readers.

- Thank you.
