800 Values for New Era Human being Second Edition Deiform Buddha Chapter 15Self-improving and self-refining
403. By building Lifechanyuan and inaugurating the era of Lifechanyuan, we are completely cultivating ourselves and are accumulating our wealth in heaven, or in another word, building Lifechanyuan and inaugurating the era of Lifechanyuan are the best ways to repay our debt and cultivate ourselves. Because only if we devote ourselves to the cause of creating the era of Lifechanyuan, can we fully exhibit our use. This is not advertisement for Lifechanyuan, instead it is the secret to enter the heaven. 404. We should take things as they are, associate with others by following the predestined relations, act in accordance with our nature, and take advantage of the opportunities as they arise. This is a principle guiding our actions and behaviors. We should also apply this principle to people we love. Any scheme and any machination for permanent possession are the behaviors of demons and will pose as denigration and blaspheme of love. 405. Thinking is a supernatural power. The universe is holographic. Of the eight powers in the universe, one is called the power of consciousness. The power will follow consciousness to exert influence on matters and exercise remote control.

406. Thinking has eight ladders, which are matter thinking, image thinking, associative thinking, illusive thinking, visualized thinking, Taiji thinking, non-form thinking and holographic thinking. Matter thinking is the lowest realm of thinking, while holographic thinking is the highest realm of thinking. 407. The process of building Lifechanyuan is the best process of cultivation and refining, the process which tests whether everyone has great ideals and whether everyone puts great ideals to practice, and more importantly the process of accumulating ones wealth in heaven and entering heaven. 408. Everything in the world is good thing as long as it is kept in appropriate amount, but will become poisonous drugs once the amount is exceeded. This is also true of love. 409. Argumentation is the greatest taboo for people who cultivate themselves in order to enter heaven. 410. To strive for zero state is to march toward Buddha, toward celestial beings, and toward Tathagata. Anyone will go astray from Tao and the zero state if he is attached to certain thing, certain matter, certain doctrine, certain religion, certain political party, certain state, certain family and certain person. Zero state is not empty, instead it is the root of LIFE. In zero state are contained the miraculous transformations in heaven and earth, the mighty potential, the endless changes, thousands of phenomena and forms. Do not possess any prejudices and keep oneself in the zero state, only in this way can you see through the phenomena and the truth of events, and master and understand their essences.

411. Keep a state of neither emptiness nor form, nor illusion and nor reality.. These two (emptiness and form) are (in their nature) the same; but they are given different names. They may both be called the Cosmic Mystery: Reaching from the Mystery into the Deeper Mystery Is the Gate to the Secret of All Life. This conforms both to the principle of Taiji and to the theorem of self-improving and self-refining. Only if you can alternate between the presence and the absence, can you keep yourself from being puzzled by phenomena and use. 412. To return to the zero state of inaction is to transform and sublime, and to best exert more functions. However it would be useless if zero state is made permanent. For example, a flower will have no value and significance if it never grows and blossoms. Therefore, action is recommended. The flower shall unfurl its green leaves, burst into bloom, and bear fruits. A secluded hermit with high attainment in cultivation will be no different from or even worse than a rock if he never exerts his functions. You should enjoy what is duly for enjoyment. If you do not enjoy it, do not claim your right for enjoyment, and do nothing, simply praying every day that the world may be peaceful and that the Greatest Creator may take care of yourself, then the Greatest Creator will certainly not like you. The Greatest Creator will not like those who lord them over others or who are too cowardly. 413. Non-action means you take things as they are and follow Tao, you conform to laws and make use of an opportunity to do a certain thing, you do not engage in resistance, and you do not do anything that may destroy nature, life, society and other people. However, you should do whatever things that should be done and enjoy your right that should be enjoyed. If you do not do what should be done and do not enjoy what should be enjoyed and just keep anaesthetizing yourself with non-action and

zero state, always looking for excuse for inaction, then you have slipped to the other extreme. You are mistaken and have become a useless good-for-nothing. 414. A person engaged in self-improving and self-refining should learn to understanda sealed book, the wordless book, the heaven, the earth, the person, the thing, the event, and the phenomena. Only in this way, can he understand apocalypse, and the language of the Greatest Creator. And only those who understand apocalypse and the language of the Greatest Creator can become a great master, who can carry and reveal Tao. 415. If you tell your best wishes to the Greatest Creator in a clear manner, miracles will happen. It will be easiest, simplest and most harmonious to get along with people who can express themselves most legibly, because we know what he or she needs, we can very easily work with him or her, and we can easily satisfy him or her. On the other hand, it will be most difficult and most unpleasant to get along and deal with people who keep an equivocal attitude, who adopt a montage method in approaching things, who stumble over words, who never state clearly on matters, and who are muddleheaded over things. 416. It is recommendable to visualize beautiful things. The more beautiful the visualization, the better; and the more concrete the imagination, the better. The Greatest Creator can help us to achieve whatever we have visualized. The Greatest Creator is magnanimous and generous. The Greatest Creator is not parsimonious. The key lies in our imagination. 417. What is included in cultivation is nature, love and Tao. Understand nature and act at the call of your nature, and this is Buddha. Understand love, and love others as deeply as you love yourself, and this

is god; understand Tao and act in accordance with Tao, and this is celestial being. 418. Entering heaven or going to hell has nothing to do with color, sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharma. LIFE is a spirited nonmaterial structure. The core issue lies in the nonmaterial structure of LIFE. If the structure is perfect, then the LIFE can go to heaven, but if the structure is ugly, the LIFE must go to hell. To change the nonmaterial structure, one must start from the sublimation of soul and the perfection of consciousness. Therefore the core of cultivation is none other than the sublimation of soul and the perfection of consciousness. 419. Acting at the call of your nature means doing things according to the requirements of your soul, which is somewhat similar to follow your feelings. The universe is holographic. All character and nature is within the operation of Tao, and within the control of Tao. Acting at the call of your character is actually acting by following Tao. Everything takes its due position, and everything takes charge of its due responsibility. Acting according to nature means that you shall not force yourself to do something. If you act as accords your nature, you will have a limpid character and nature, you will have nothing to feel regret for, and you will finally achieve complete truth. Do whatever your soul calls on you to do and listen to the voice of your inner world, and you will certainly hear an especially distinct voice from the complicated din. Then just conduct according to its requirements, and see what the result will be like. In this way you can feel reassured in what you are doing. 420. Acting on the call of your nature is a far cry from following your inclination. Following ones nature is to follow his own endowment and Inherence nature, while following ones mind is to follow ones desire in

mind. Those who are on the right Way will not cause harm to other people when they follow their own inclinations, while those who are not on the correct Way will incur endless trouble when they follow their inclinations. 421. In approaching anything, we should take things as they are, associate with others by following the predestined relations, act in accordance with our nature, and take advantage of the opportunities as they arisethis is the way of nature. We should take things as they are, and shall not impose high standards for the environment; We should associate with others by following the predestined relations, and shall not escape from the good and bad predestined relations; we should act in accordance with our nature, and shall not restrain and restrict anyones natural character; We should take advantage of opportunity as they arise and shall neither reach for what is beyond our grasp nor miss the good opportunity. 422. People whose individualities are in less conflict with commonness are more pleasant and happier, have calmer mood, and are easier to succeed in cultivating the Way of celestial being and the Way of Buddha. People whose individualities are in greater conflict with commonness may end in monsters, demons, and goblins, and devils and ghosts. 423. When in adversity, do not halt your steps of progress and harbor resentment, anger, and complaints. 424. When conducting self-improving and self refining, you should combine values with practice. Values divorced from practice are only clichs, idle theorizing, and self-deception. No matter how long we have engaged in self-improving or self-refining, and no matter how many profound principles we have understood, if values are not practically

800 Values for New Era Human Being

applied in our daily lives, they are all useless empty talks for flaunting and swindling purposes. 425. No matter what we do, we should do a good job once we have started it. We should complete the job without leaving any thing unfinished. We should not perform our duty in a perfunctory manner, we should not harbor the mentality of almost finished and we should not adopt a fudging attitude. We should try to fully exert our talents in everything we do. 426. The more ordered we are, the more efficient and healthy we will be. The more ordered we are, the more leisure time and entertainment time we will have. Therefore we must ensure order in consciousness, plan, work, division of labor, daily life, diet, entertainment, and advancement and retreat. In this way, we can cut down many useless actions on our path of life and LIFE. 427. There is always a way out. The two poles are transferrable. Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Put yourself in desperate situation and you will fight with all your might for victory. Putting yourself in desperate situation may involve heart-rending anguishes, but the nirvana of phoenix will have to undergo the baptism of fire, otherwise there would be no chances for thorough remoulding, and you may still be a mortal. Without death, there would be no birth, and death and birth share the same root. If the mortal mind does not die, how can the immortal mind come into being? If the predestined worldly relations do not perish, how can the relations with immortals be formed? If the human LIFE does not come to an end, how can the immortal life begin? If the traditional family does not disappear, how can the second home come into being?

428. The more self-cultivation you conduct, the more flexible, sensitive and efficient you should be. You should be quick in response to anything. You cultivation should not render you more and more rigid, numb, and retard. 429. Enlightenment is a great learning of life and LIFE. Enlightenment relies on spiritual perception. Enlightenment requires that we be practical and realistic, that we stick to scientific approach and remain logical. Enlightenment requires us to ponder deeply. Enlightenment requires us to understand 20 parallel worlds and 36-dimensional space. Enlightenment requires us to understand the implications of time and space. Enlightenment requires us to understand the origin of the universe, LIFE and mankind. Enlightenment involves the understanding of mans position in the universe and the purpose, value, and significance of life. Enlightenment involves the understanding of the meaning of LIFE and the scientific theory of reincarnation. 430. The life span of a person might be curtailed if he is too concentrated on his worldly thought, forgetting about food and sleep and seeking quick success and instant benefit, if he is too fervid in sentiment and moody in temper. On the contrary, he can prolong his life and transcend over time if he can calm his mind, stop his desire, manage his mind, have a mind of integrity, keep an open mind, have a sedated mind, maintain a pure mind, do what you want to do so as you have a peaceful mind, take an indifferent attitude to fame and gain, and live an extraordinary life with a calm mind. 431. The purpose of self-improving and self-refining is to get away from the abyss of misery and reach the other shore, namely, to break away from the fetters of the realm of necessity and reach the realm of freedom.

To be more specific, the purpose is to walk out of the human world and proceed toward the paradise. 432. Self-improving involves your effort on every action and word. Self-refining requires your energy on every idea and thought. As long as you persevere and accumulate your effort, you will come to success naturally when all the required efforts are made. To attain the spiritual state of an immortal, you cannot rely on any shortcut and any secret skills, all you have to do is spend all your effort and energy on each of your words, actions, ideas and thoughts. 433. Say what is related to you, do your own work, cultivate yourself, follow your own path. Do not attempt to manage and guide others, do not concern yourself with others affairs, and do not mind others businesses. 434. The compendium for self-improving and self-refining is that I would rather others owe me the debt than I owe them the debt, and that I do not contrive to obtain any small advantages, and that I shall expend more and harvest less. In this way, we can not only repay the debt but also accumulate wealth in heaven. 435. The places closer to you actually involve a longer journey; the simplest tone requires the toughest training. 436. The preliminary self-improving and self-refining is comparable to the spinning of cocoons, the intermediate to the conception of new life in the cocoon, and the advanced to the braking of the cocoon and the ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal. 437. The eight cultivations and refining of mind: calm your mind, stop your desire, manage your mind, have a mind of integrity, keep an open

mind, have a sedated mind, maintain a pure mind, and do what you want to do so as you have a peaceful mind. 438. The best way of self-refining: Increase your understanding, transform your thinking, perfect your consciousness, and sublime the nonmaterial structure of life. The best way of self-improving: Participate in the activities to initiate the age of Lifechanyuan for mankind. 439. Of all the ways of self-improving and self-refining, the self-improving and self-refining of love is the core content of the sublimation of the life quality, and the most direct way. 440. The advanced self-improving and self-refining and health preservation shall mainly begin with music, visualization and thought. 441. The symbol of perfect nonmaterial structure of life: (1). The complete exhibition of natural character and the complete lack of shameful feeling in action and words; (2). All grasses and trees are friends, and do not cause harm to insects and birds; (3). Innocence, simplicity, and childlike purity, and good at games and entertainment; (4). Have no worries wherever in the world, and all people come into contact with and love are friends and relatives; (5). Own nothing and occupy nothing, and have no jealousy and do not compare with others; (6). Be healthy, positive and optimistic, without the slightest passive and pessimistic feelings;

(7). Be an ordinary person and do not parade ability, and do not have any resentment or sense of superiority; (8). Do whatever desire to do but do not go against rules and be carefree but do not have any temper. Whoever has reached the above eight standards in his self-improving and self-refining has achieved the first level of the spiritual state of an immortal and has been ranked among the celestial beings. On this basis he can proceed to achieve the second level of the spiritual state of an immortal which guarantees him to live in the Ten-thousand-year World and the third level of the spiritual state of an immortal which guarantees him to live in the Celestial Islands Continent.
