Search for Truth

	CHE FATT
	Calmly as one walks the Way alone
	Hope not to depend on others to teach
	Expect not others to walk on your behalf
	For as long as one is pure
	Along the jungle track, one fears not
	Taking the Path that is open for all
	Taking the walk, much care you must perform.
	Many people, do not know what TAO is and seek to
	find its form and shape. TAO' merely denotes the Path,
	the Way, the Teaching and is mainly known to all as
	the Heavenly Path. When talking of things in Heaven,
	it is Heavenly TAO (Way). On earth it is earthly TAO
	and in people, it is the human TAO. Since TAO is merely
	a Path, humans must learn to aim to follow whichever
	way they seek. Since Heavenly things are not easily
	understood and accepted, man should not think too deeply
	of them yet. Earthly TAO has its many wonders and mysteries
	which man has yet to solve. Since a human has a TAO of his
	own, why not begin from it first? If one does not know the
	basic human way, how then can a human expect to know things
	that are from ABOVE? Take step by step learn from the basic,
	follow with intermediate and later advance. Expand the
	knowledge and use the wisdom to gain.
	Although many Sages have attained and found the Path and
	may have walked the journey, they cannot walk for you. A
	person must learn not to be too dependent on others,
	especially so in the cultivation of TAO. The Great Way
	is beyond the understanding of the uncultivated. Thus,
	to seek, one must search and to search, one must perform.
	Do not wait for others to find out for you.
	There are some people who do not know the actual way to
	cultivate. With sincerity they may still pursue to the
	Land of Joy. A person with a sincere thought, will have
	pure actions. When the actions are done
	out of sincerity, he would have found the Path
	without searching. By the word sincerity alone,
	plenty can be achieved. The root of all begins
	from the mind. Therefore, when sincerity is seen,
	loyalty is very much at hand. Think not too much
	of oneself but consider others as well. Be
	compassionate to others as you learn of the Truth.
	The beautiful colors that appear in front of your
	eyes, may be thought as certain illusions yet, what
	seems unreal is real. The pool of cleansing awaits
	all of you. Cleanse the thought of all evil things.
	Cleanse your body off the dust that stains and cleanse
	all parts that are stained. The inner thought must be
	thoroughly-cleansed. The Heavenly Gate awaits your visit.
	With the clarity in sight, do not mistake it for
	something else. Let the body be taken over and you
	may rise light on clouds to see.
	In the eyes of all humans, they know not where Heaven
	and Hell lie. They see things only with the naked eye.
	Is Heaven full of beautiful things? Is it high up? Is
	it a place where all Deities dwell? How can we go up?
	CHE FATT
	Ceasing from wrong and turn to right
	Holding a body yet none one finds
	Erase in all work that put on weight
	Faster and lighter as one ascends to Heaven
	Arriving at its Gate, one wonders at the guard
	Taking the divinity, Fiery Eyes look through all
	Taking only the weightless into Heaven
	Heaven actually is a place that man can only imagine.
	Take your present plane as Heaven and it will truly
	turn out to be one. Heaven can be right in front for
	those who have attained the sight of the true self.
	They will find the necessary emptiness that can turn
	Hell into Heaven for them. Yet the Heavenly TAO is what
	man must truly set his aim.
	The world may end up as a fairy land to all.
	The only thing that they must upkeep is the precept.
	Follow it diligently. Turn bad to good and one may see
	the Heavenly Gate. Fairy tale it may seem but it can be
	turned from imagination to real. Observe the Truth and
	work towards the goal. One may see the Garden of Joy.
	Coming from all directions
	Hoping to enter in
	Expecting it to be an easy thing
	Taking a look at their passes
	Examine it in a proper way
	Into the Gate if things are proper
	Never will the heavy weight get half-way
	Taking down by the dust particles
	A look at the Heavenly entrance, one will not see
	In the seeking of the Path
	Seek the Truth and nothing less
	Into the Garden of Joy, one will get
	Never go to the Gate of Hades
	Gaining merits, one will lose one's weight.
	The door of the ABOVE welcomes all, yet few enter in.
	The way to the Gate of Hades is dark and narrow yet many
	found their way in. When there is a right road well-illuminated,
	why prefer the darkness instead? When man is lost, the Merciful
	One is ever ready to help. The compassionate love is so great
	yet man cannot see the Light. When the answer man know not,
	it is told again and again. Towards the Light one must walk.
	Though the brilliance of it may hurt your naked eyes, yet as
	one gets closer, lighter at heart one will feel. Join in the
	Search and row your own boat back across to where the Land of
	Paradise is seen.
	As one pursues the Search, one may find confusion that
	Blinds his eyes. Therefore, man must always be calm like
	the spring water always in its clear state. Man always
	feels that it is difficult to control the six senses that
	are ever ready to tempt. Some even feel that it may be
	better to lose one or two of them. But let me tell you this:
	when one wishes to capture the bandits he must first learn
	where their den lies. Next, find out their master-mind who
	controls all. Upon capturing the master-mind, the bandits
	will fall, for without a leader, nothing will move well.
	Just as what the above shows, in order to control the six
	senses, one must learn to find out the root of all
	temptations. Since all senses are controlled by the mind,
	one must first control it. To control the mind is a mere
	saying but the actual thing that man should do is to
	take control over it. Therefore, stillness in its total
	form will control the mind well and by total stillness,
	man will learn to control the senses.
