Search for Truth
	CHAPTER 1
	(Back To Main Page)
	CHE FATT (JiGong)
	Circling in circles, one searches for Truth
	Hoping to understand the reason
	Ending in an end before the search starts
	Future recycle will take place over and over
	A person who waits will end up waiting
	Taking the lead, one will eventually reach
	Tacking in the right path, a right brilliance is seen.
	Everyone is searching, but for what? Many say that they must
	First know of the unanswerable things before they begin. But
	as one waits for the answer, time is running out. Man realizes
	it not and the search may be too late. Man often asks what the
	Universe is made of? Where is Heaven? What type of place is the
	Heaven? They seek an answer to all these, yet an answer they
	will not obtain.
	When a man who is dying of poison, before he seeks medical help,
	he wants to know what type of poison he has taken, who was the
	culprit and when was the poison put into his food. By the time
	he finds out the answer, no medicine may help him at all.
	Therefore, man must understand the priority of things and the
	urgency of time. By getting the answers to those questions that
	act as barrier to your search, you will no longer have the time.
	It should be the priority for all to seek an immediate way to end
	the misery and pain caused by birth, old age, sickness and death.
	Truth is given in many forms. It is passed on by various teachers
	and masters. But if one follows it with faith, the Path that you
	find will lead you to Heaven.
	Many people ask what is the Path, where is the Path and how can
	one find it? All Paths that lead are the Way. Do not search afar
	for it, it is merely within sight. But to get deeper into things
	even with the Path is right in front, it has taken a formless state.
	To see something that looks so real, yet in a moment it is all gone.
	Thus, unreal will be the state again.
	When one feels the right thing with a pure state of
	mind and being formless, yet a form takes its state. All things
	are like passing clouds and mist. One moment they take on various
	styles and shapes. In the next moment, they will be blown away
	leaving a clear sky again. Control things with the right sense and
	control the state of mind well, for all things begin from the mind.
	Like a house that has bad roofing, rain will surely fall into it.
	Likewise, in an untrained mind, all illusions will take place. In
	the search that man knows not its beginning, begin from the mind
	and learn to control it. A storm will not last forever and no rain
	will not cease. Get to the right point and take the first step that
	leads.
	Searching and searching, a whole lifetime
	Entrusted with something, yet a stranger it was
	Among the lights, only one stands out
	Remaining in its position to guide
	Changeless, it will remain as a Guiding Light
	Holding firm as it helps all across to Heaven.
	Everything has its truth. The right thing has its truth and so
	Does the evil thing with its evil truth. But man must search for
	the right truth. Using the right attitude of mind, all things begin.
	Begin with an understanding of the teachings. Understand it well
	and understand it with realization. Realize in the right manner and
	the Truth you will find. Things may look deceiving but with another
	form they attract. Attractions are but superficial and when all are
	gone, the impurities are sighted. But when one sees the impurities,
	things will be too late to resolve.
	Seek the innermost beauty for this is the lasting beauty of Truth.
	But stillness all must learn to practise for this will help with
	the mind control Do not stop with the little advancement that is
	mistaken to be the end of Search. The Search is difficult and the
	Path is long. Perseverance and faith will guide one through. Have
	faith in the right manner and do not seek beneficial things. Faith
	is shown with compassion and all things may be clearly shown. The path
	shown is in many forms.
	One must realize it with the Truth. Distinguish the
	Truth from an illusion and one may reach its ultimate form.
	If illusion controls the action, then all things will run haywire.
	The Search may begin as soon as one realizes the necessity to attain.
	For attainment to reach the right stage. Truth you must know.
	There are things such as the Heavenly Truth and on earth it is
	called the Truth of Life. When it concerns divinity, it is considered
	as Divine Truth. But man must first realize the Truth of Life. For
	without realizing it how can one realize the Heavenly Truth? Begin
	from the foundation and build the pagoda upwards, for without a strong
	foundation, the pagoda will not last. All things have their roots.
	Get to the root of things and the truth one will know.
	Seeking in the right direction for the Truth
	Open up the three essentials and see within
	Onto the Path, all may search
	Never think that it is an easy road
	Yesteryear reflects on the present in its own way
	Anchor in the right harbor that provides shelter
	Neglect not the course and condition that take place
	Gaining the Truth; walk on with persistence.
	Everyone wishes to obtain, but the right manner one knows not.
	In order to remain calm and in a stillness form, three things
	one must riot forget: the Essence (Ching), Vitality (Chi) and
	Spirit (Shen). Combine them well and the spirit will guide you.
	For Essence and Vitality are important as nourishment for the Spirit.
	When the Spirit is in its proper form, then the mind will be in
	control. When the mind is in control, one will maintain a stillness
	form. Remain in stillness yet all things are done. There is no action
	seen but nothing is left undone. These are the mystics of the Truth.
	One sees it in its proper form, but the right state of mind must
	be in control.
	All things have a starting point. But when this point is in
	action, many points are created. Get hold of the right one and
	begin from it. For all points will eventually lead to the same
	place. When the Truth remains in stillness, it may be formless.
	Yet when in action, it covers the whole Universe. Universal Truth
	is the same in its own way. Steps are given and the right
	directions are shown. Why not begin now and seek the Truth?
	People come and go, each time searching but the Truth is not found.
	Why end in the same state? Why not strive on? Strive for the
	betterment in wisdom. Strive for the betterment of Truth. Strive to
	get to the Path that is not easily shown. Strive in the right direction
	and keep on until one finds the Truth.
	From the other side of the Shore, I sigh. Looking across the
	suffering sea, man seeks the Shore. At the yacht that sets sail,
	the people wail for the Shore. People placing' treasure till the
	end, point at it, as all set beneath the suffering sea. As one does
	not know how to control a sailing boat, someone who knows will do
	the rowing. But rowing one across, the next chance will not be seen
	again. In the sea of suffering, one must learn to row oneself across.
	But when one knows how to row the boat, one must try to row the rest
	across. The Shore is not far but without the right boat, one will
	never get across. Getting the right boat lies in your own hand.
	Neither the ABOVE nor destiny controls it.
	Serene is the sight of Heaven. Seeking in the right way, pursue to
	this Land. Searching for it, the Truth you will have. Sailing in a
	smooth way, attain the essential self.
	Everyone has a .self but the inner one, you must seek. The two
	selves have their different forms. The outer self is in the human
	form. In this form, it seeks illusions which are being created.
	Dismantle all thoughts for this outer self and let the brilliance
	from within shine through. Allow it to be free from hiding but
	resume it in its rightful status. By doing so, you will achieve
	the first stage of your Search. Without seeing your true identity
	of this inner self, one may easily be led astray again. Let the
	rightful owner take the control again. For only the rightful one
	will continuously seek and search to be free from this land of
	miseries and pains. Holding the right path you will find that
	things will change.
	CHE FATT
	Changing to a perfect form
	Hold onto the true identity
	Erase all thoughts of illusion
	Facts, all of you must gain
	As further and further one drifts
	Taking the Search, turn back as. Truth is seen
	Temporary is life on this plane.
	When one seeks to attain perfection, the mind and body, one must
	first cleanse in the right way and never let dirt fall in again.
	The mind must act as a mirror to reflect immediately.
	But without the reflection, in its pureness form the mind
	remains. If only the mind is like a mirror, one can learn to
	clean it daily to free it from all dust particles and allow
	the shine of the mirror to reflect in its best form again.
	In a deeper state of understanding, all things are void, not
	even a mirror should be sighted at all. But man has not
	yet attained this stage of total voidness. Thus, cleansing it as a
	mirror should be your first step. As one takes on the first step,
	one must try to seek the second. The Truth is endless yet it will
	lead one to the path of surety as the Truth reflects.
	VOID
	Victory over voidness is no easy task
	Owing to illusionary reflection
	In which it will be harder to find
	Deeds done and deeds undone, let voidness come in.
	In a state of voidness, begin your task. For only with
	Stillness is voidness stage achieved. Achieve this Great Void
	and understand the Truth as a guide. When a mind is crammed and
	voided stage unattained, even when Truth is told, it will not remain.
	Remain in a total state of voidness. Essence and Vitality are all
	within. Thus, combine them with the right Spirit, you will see the
	Way. As one seeks an oasis in a desert, seek the Truth as one seeks
	water contained therein. Voidness is like a vacuum. Nothing can be
	within and therefore, purity one will find. Purify the mind into
	the voidness stage and do not allow impurities to set in. All
	things are a mystery to the human mind. But do not seek too
	far before the Truth is found.
	CHE FATT
	Ceasing to suffer, the pathway must be created
	Happiness only begins when Truth is found
	Erect the right tower and strengthen its foundation
	Facts after facts for good, seek the Lighted Way
	Aiming only to row your own boat
	Take on others as you row ashore
	Tendering your name as a sailor too
