The ancients called the principle of all things "Tao". China is a country that talks about "Tao". Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there have been endless debates about this. Laozi talks about the way of heaven, Confucius talks about the way of humanity, and Zhuangzi says Thieves also have Tao...

People who are in Tao without knowing its existence are like fish in water without knowing the existence of water. But we are also like fish that cannot live without water and cannot exist without Tao. The human body is rare, and the Tao is hard to smell. The only thing that ordinary people can understand a few points of Tao in their lifetime is the combination of "karma, root of wisdom, and blessings."

Only those who know this can be said to know; only those who have achieved this can be said to be virtuous.

To learn something different from this is called heresy; to speak something deviated from this is called heresy; to practice it while being confused about it is called dark practice. Although there are thousands of demons and monsters, dazzling and changing in front of you, they should be broken into pieces when touched, and they should be solved by welcoming them, just like when the sun rises, ghosts, ghosts and monsters have no way to escape. Why should we have any doubts, and why should we be confused by the similarities and differences!
