White Sun: How to Cultivate Ones Body Drinking damages the soul; being lustful damages the vitality; greed damages the virtues; anger damages the liver; smoking damages the spirit. These are the five poisons between Heaven and Earth. The world is polluted with these five filthy elements. Heaven has the spirit of the five fundamental elements and Earth has the characters of the five fundamental elements. White Sun. How to be a Better Person It is always easy to know others, but it is hard to know oneself. It is easy to forgive the wrongs of oneself but it is hard to spare the faults of others. People can see things that are a hundred steps away but it is hard to see the back of one's own body. To be a better person, understand that a piece of jade must be grounded in order to realize its use, and a nugget of gold must be smelt in ord White Sun - Words of Bodhidarma The Patriarch Prajnatara instructed Bodhidarma, "Tathagata bestowed Mahakasyapa with the absolute dharma-eye, and was transmitted as such until it reached me. Now I shall instruct you: Even though China of the east is vast, there is no other path. The future shall depend upon our uncle's descendants to carry on. A golden cock is holding a single grain of seed to nourish and feed all the saints and White Sun - Wisdom of Life To be able to realize our own ignorance is to be wise. Some people say that they know a lot and they are good at poetry, literature and art. But the wise may say, in fact they know is just a smattering of everything. I have met people in the spiritual field claiming that there is nothing to learn in Tao. The sage does not have this fault because he steers clear of such a fault and he knows he can White Sun - Who Are We? There are three natures in a human. The divine, human and animal nature. The divine nature is the essence of Tao as well as the soul of a human. It is all good and has no evil. The human nature is sometimes pure and sometimes contaminated and therefore can be good or evil. The animal nature is all of desires for materialism and all evils without any goodness. White Sun - What is Tranquillity? We usually find that in a very quiet environment where nothing much happens, we are easily distracted and readily follow the direction of desires that arise within us. On the other hand, if we have a busy timetable and are focused on a programme of activities, there are lesser opportunities to dwell on distracting thoughts and desires. Serenity of our environment then does not necessarily bring ab White Sun - What is Tomorrow The future is unknown. Whatever is going to happen, will happen. There is no need for either joyful anticipation or anxiety. Likewise, no matter how wonderful our yesterdays may have been, nothing in the world can bring them back. It is pointless to wish for the beautiful past to return. Whatever has occurred remains an unchangeable truth. White Sun - What is Metempsychosis? In the teachings of Taoism, after death the soul passes into another human or animal body. It is believed that there are Ten Tribunals in the Underworld or Hell. When a human being dies, his soul will have to face judgement there and if found sinful, the soul will have to go through all the Tribunals, to be punished according to the magnitude of his sins, and then to the Tenth Tribunal to await re White Sun - What is Life? (Part 9 of 10) The true self cannot be described and is like the plum flower blossoming in the snow. Without any contamination, it manifests, without any blemish, the aureole is the utmost magnificent which is as bright as the moon. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 8 of 10) To encounter this rare event in tens of thousands of years is truly mystic and wonderful. The examination of Saints and Sages begins by Heaven. The Three Buddhas meet in the "Long Hua Assembly" to select candidates to confer immortality on earthly saints and sages. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 7 of 10) The spaceless golden lock, the spaceless pagoda, the spaceless key opens this lock. The priceless true treasure shines bright after the enlightened teacher's guidance gives grace that has no equal. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 6 of 10) I am Lao Mu, True Lord of Creation, leading the guards to descend to Earth to give direction to the lost and drop the road of awakening. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 4 of 10) Practising for the True Self is the most important in life. This mortal world is the sea of suffering where waves after waves and tides are boundless. The life of human is like that of a mayfly, born in the morning and die in the same night. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 3 of 10) Tao is the most supreme. Lao Mu advised the cultivators to hurriedly attain enlightenment. Wake up to the truth and Tao; emptiness is not actually empty. Existence is nothingness; nothingness is existence. Both existence and nothingness are of the same essence. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 2 of 10) The fate of the spirit is exhausted and now is the Last Catastrophe of the Third Period. The sufferings are indescribable. The spiritual world will wither and earth will decay. Lao Mu has sent the Laughing Buddha to oversee the Heavenly Court and JiGong to be the Heavenly Teacher. Lao Mu gave full power of command to the Laughing Buddha and ordered all deities to help Tao of Heaven. All Boddhisatt White Sun - What is Life? (Part 10 of 10) The time has come for the cloud castle to open to all. He who answers the Three Treasures correctly is a royal child. He who answers the password erroneously is not. White Sun - What is Life? (Part 1 of 10) The Home of the souls is the destination for a person to return to the roots; it is the origin, it is the Kingdom of Gods. The word faith means to be truthful. Faith is the origin of Tao, virtues and merits. White Sun - What is Life? ( Part 5 of 10) Take firm and solid steps in your practice. Wake up to the secret and fate of Heaven and know the Heavenly Decree, then one is truly a sage. White Sun - Vegetarianism Vegetarianism is being initiated by the Sages in China and India since time immemorial to prohibit the infliction of cruelties upon fellow animate beings. It is the very basic in the cultivation of compassion and love among all sentient beings. Today, with adequate evidential materials which involve men from all walks of life and traditions, vegetarianism is acknowledged all over the world, as ess White Sun - The Underworld Emperor "Wang" means Emperor in Chinese. The Ten Emperors from the First Tribunal to the Tenth Tribunal are: 1]Qin Guang Wang 2]Chujiang Wang 3]Songdi Wang 4]Wuguan Wang 5]Senluo Wang 6]Bian Cheng Wang 7]Tai Shan Wang 8]Du Shi Wang 9]Ping Deng Wang and 10]Zhuan Lun Wang. On 4th Moon 29th Day (15th June, 1977), a medium's soul "Yang Sheng" and "JiGong" visited the Fifth Tribunal and "Senluo Wang" was there White Sun - The Trap Traps are usually designed to catch those easily misled into a belief that it was good for them. Alcohol, sex, wealth and anger are four great walls. Many men and women are trapped within them. Those who can jump over them are immortals. The world is full of traps specially baited to appeal to our weaknesses and deep rooted habits. How many can actually escape them and once trapped, nobody can hel White Sun - The Three Vehicles In the teachings of Tao of Heaven, there are many books written by the Heavenly Beings including the Holy Beings from the Underworld, confessions of the suffering souls from Hell, ghosts, devils and even souls of animals. All these took place in the Temple of Tao of Heaven and there are two ways of teachings. One in the form of olden scriptures where divine messages were delivered in poems and ver White Sun - The Third Eye The Third Eye is a point on the face unseen to the naked eyes. One may not see it, but it can be felt by the heart. Man will know where it lies if they search for it with sincerity. A person who is in the search begins with the first step. Cultivate in the proper progress, one will learn this point. White Sun - The Suffering Life is indeed suffering sooner or later. Happiness cannot last and suffering can be so painful and long until the last breath. There are sufferings from living, natural disasters and calamities, conditions of life, feeling etc. The list is very long but why must man suffer? We have to accept because this is life! Accept and live with the suffering and one will feel better in the heart. White Sun - The Spiritual Test The way of the Tao goes against human emotions and desires. Those who follow the way of the True Tao become Immortals while those who follow human emotions and desires become ghosts. There is a saying "To practise Tao is like climbing a tall post. It is easy to come down but very difficult to get to the top." White Sun - The Soul "I Ching" states: "I" is aligned to Heaven and Earth. Thus it encompasses the Tao of Heaven and Earth. It explains not only the observable world, but also the unobservable world of spirits. It embraces the law of beginning, end and regeneration of all phenomena and matters. It knows that all matters are formed by spirits and vitality, and the soul governs the changes of the matters. White Sun - The Six Doors The Six Doors are the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind. If these doors are not guarded, one's soul will wander in and out through them upon death and fall into the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Why? The eyes, ears, nose and tongue are doors leading to rebirth as four kinds of animals, and are also known as four paths of birth. White Sun - The Silence of the Wise Although the truth cannot be seen, heard or touched, yet it is the origin of all things and it is beyond time, space and religion. The great ancients who lived in accordance to the truth were men of subtle wisdom and penetrating intelligence. They were so profound that others did not understand them and such people are the founders of the Five Great Religions like Lao Tze, Confucius, Sakyamuni Bud White Sun - The New Paths There is a saying, “Heaven will not block our way. If one path comes to an end, we must search for another one.” As long as we don’t deviate from our goals, then all roads lead to Rome. In other words, we can all return to the origin. Where is the origin and how to get there? No words can describe fully the beginning and the Truth. One has to taste it by himself in order to get the feel and a blin White Sun - The Mind Right understanding of the Truth is very important because it will lead to right thought. The right thought in our mind will lead to right action. We don’t happen to do something without thinking about it. It must first be the thought in our mind before we go on to do it. If we happen to do something wrong, that, too, must derive from some wrong thought in our mind. White Sun - The Jade Emperor The Jade Edict was issued on the 15th day of 8th moon (8th Sept, 1976) with the express intention of helping and saving human beings. The tour of Hades commenced on 9th Sept, 1976 and ended on 30th July, 1978 in sixty-two (62) Journeys. The details and conversations of each Journey were written in Chinese characters on the planchette board and were translated into English by Mr Lee Teik Chong in 1 White Sun - The Inner Strength Everyone has inner strength and potential to do great things in life. Under normal circumstances, we may be too weak to do certain thing because these inherent strengths are not forced to do so. Given a situation between life and death, we can do miracle. It is just amazing how strong our inner strength is when we have no joice but to fight back or run for our lives. When a cat is cornered by a do White Sun - The Human Desire Throughout man's life, his eyes are opened by the greedy desires. Extinguish this thought and there will be no need to fight otherwise desire is the word that brings down all downfalls. My Master Jigong dictated a wonderful poem as below: White Sun - The Greater & Lesser Beings Everyone is born a human but every individual is different. There are wise people and there are people who do not even know when the sun is rising or what is right and what is wrong. It has nothing to do with money. Greater beings means a Saint, a Buddha, people of nobility and great virtues. Lesser beings are basically lay mortal beings. Some are born greater beings and some lesser beings. Why is White Sun - The Eight Virtues To be a better person, the eight virtues are very important. It is the Way of Man that man must know and practise it in his life. If a person is ignorant of the eight virtues, then he may make a lot of mistakes in life and find himself not living in peace and love. His look may not be pleasant and all he cares are most likely for himself and materialistic in life. Whereas if a person leads his lif White Sun - The Bitterness A person's life always includes bitterness as well as happiness and it intermingles and manifests their presence throughout one's lifetime. Bitterness creates Buddhahood. The higher one climbs, the higher one falls. Happiness is illusive and temporary and it can disappear in a flash of light. Real happiness is not defined in terms of wealth, honor or fame. The richest man has his own sorrows. Happ White Sun - The Beginning & Tao Lao Tzu defined Tao as follows: "Great Tao has no form nor substance, yet it creates and cultivates Heaven and Earth. Great Tao has no favors, thus it governs the law and order of the cosmos. Great Tao has no name, but it gives life to and nourishes all beings. Because it is so mystical and powerful, there really is no proper word to represent it. However, without a name, I am afraid that others White Sun - Tao of Heaven; What is Wisdom? The awakened lives in the adulterated society, yet is not tainted by emotions and desires. He devotes himself to the spreading of Tao to the world, transforming hell into Heaven. He points out Tao of Heaven to those who are lost so that they can also realize their True Selves. He acts according to Tao. He vows to save the world out of his mercifulness. White Sun - Tao of Heaven: The Relationship Between Tao and Mankind Tao is the Lord of the cosmos, the truth, the way and the life. Tao is void, still, majestic, reverent and divine. Tao of Heaven names Tao as the Lord of all souls or God; Christian as God, Father or Jehovah and Islam as Allah. Although various religions and Tao of Heaven name Tao differently, they all refer to Tao, the only God in the cosmos and the only Lord of all souls. He governs the order in White Sun - Tao of Heaven: Heaven and Man are One Entity The goal of practising Tao is to tranquilize one's heart. It is better for a practitioner not to have the emotion of joy, delight, sorrow and anger, because if he can eliminate emotions, he will find that he and the cosmos become one entity. The true self of a man is almighty, wise and all good. One should begin with benevolence and justice and then perfect morality in order to be enlightened. Onc White Sun - Tao of Heaven. Showers of Wisdom ( Part 3 of 3 ) Most people contribute unreasonable problems in their lives to fate and do not understand that fate in reality is simply the results of karma. This undetectable force of karma is not affected by space or time and follows everyone. It was there in one's previous lives; it is there in one's present life; it will be there in one's future lives. It will last forever. White Sun - Tao of Heaven. Showers of Wisdom ( Part 2 of 3 ) People rarely live up to a hundred years of age but yet, they carry with them the worries of a thousand years. Within this chaotic and dazzling world, it is only due to ignorance that people have created for themselves. Thousands and tens of thousands of attachments and worries, like cycles within cycles and layers upon layers these attachments and worries have firmly plugged their minds. So tight White Sun - Tao of Heaven. Showers of Wisdom ( Part 1 of 3 ) In the teachings of Tao of Heaven, Master Chang Tienzen of Jining, Shantung Province was the rebirth of JiGong. He was born on the 19th day of the 7th lunar month in the 13th year of the reign of Guangshu (1889) during the Ching Dynasty. Master Chang Tienzen became the Heavenly master in 1947, the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, when the moon was the biggest, roundest and brightest. When he was b White Sun - Tao of Heaven Tao being the essence, is the core of all virtues. God is the spiritual energy of Tao. In terms of the lord of all phenomena in the cosmos, the essence is called God. The truth is the manifestation of Tao and conscience is the manifestation of the true self. White Sun - Seeing Beyond The naked eyes cannot see beyond, but the third eye may see all. The Third Eye is also called The Divine Eye or The Dot. It is the place where the True Self resides and it has to be opened in order to see. How to open this Third Eye? In the Temple of Tao of Heaven, the transmission of Tao is done by the ceremony of the fire and the holy spirit. It is to open the Third Eye and the True Self can be White Sun - Saint and Human What are the differences between Saints and Human Beings? Why some people can give so easily and why some people find it so hard to give? People do things for themselves, but Saints do things for human beings. How can we improve ourselves? Firstly is to learn how to give selflessly and never ask for anything in return. If you have decided to give financial help to someone really in need, you must White Sun - Roots of Sufferings To find happiness, one must know what are the roots of sufferings. Once the roots are identified, it is very important that the sooner they are eradicated, the sooner one will find happiness and joy in life. If a human being let hatred grow in his heart, he will become an evil spirit. If an evil spirit let hatred grow in his heart, he will become a demon. Therefore, shunning hatred is the beginnin White Sun - Right and Wrong Mindfulness The power of the mind is a wonder. If you know which is right and which is wrong, you can develop your mind to become a better human. You can become healthier, younger and lovable. Let's see which is right and which is wrong, then change it if you have to. White Sun - Punishment in Hell There is a type of punishment in Hell which I would like to disclose here because it is a very common problem in the world. May this disclosure help to wake up those who are caught in this situation at present and the punishment is the forcing of inserting iron pins into the mouth. Let's hear the confessions of the suffering souls: White Sun - Mother There is a saying: “All parents are alike at heart.” In today’s society, people can be very cold hearted and their conscience may have lost. The homes for old folks are full of mothers and fathers. Confucius said that if you just feed your parents, you do that to your pets too. There is no difference. Filial piety is the first of the eight virtues. If a person is not filial to his parents, then ev
