411. The intensity of healing sensations during the special session on important days is related to fate.
At the Medicine Buddha special session, almost 80% of people experienced a tangible sensation—it's the most powerful healer. Many people saw golden hands removing black energy from their brains; it hurt to have it removed from their scalp, but they felt very relaxed afterward. The second session was on the Double Ninth Festival. At the Amitabha Buddha and Shakyamuni Buddha special sessions, 50% of people experienced a tangible sensation. For those experiencing a tangible sensation except with the Medicine Buddha, it depends on affinity—some students at the Shakyamuni Buddha special session witnessed the process of receiving the Dharma transmission. Those who only see this at the Amitabha Buddha special session have a strong affinity with Amitabha Buddha. The greater the affinity you have with someone, the greater the effect.
412. The Origin of the Laws of the Mortal World
A major event occurred in the Dharma Realm on January 6th and 7th—the Law of the Mortal World was born. This new rule, the first of its kind in countless worlds, was born in our small world. 2500 years ago, Buddha told Mara, the Demon King, under the Bodhi tree: "2500 years from now, your demonic children and grandchildren will enter temples, 'wearing your monks' robes, breaking your precepts, distorting the Dharma, and the Dharma will perish.'" Buddha pondered for a moment, then looked up and said: "2500 years from now, my true followers will shed their robes and spread the Dharma in the mortal world. The mortal world will become temples, families will become Dharma centers, and temples will become prisons for your evil children and grandchildren." This truly came to pass on on January 6th and 7th this year.
413. The birth of rules requires the creation of Dao Souls.
The birth of a rule requires the creation of a soul of the rule—the Dao Soul. Many people previously claimed to be lay Buddhists spreading the Dharma in the mortal world—but they were not. The birth of a rule necessitates the creation of a Dao Soul; only when the Dao Soul is created does it signify that the rule has been born between heaven and earth. In ancient times, the creation of Dao Souls was relatively easy—the laws of sunrise, sunset, all living beings, death, production, and growth were all primordial laws, and all possessed Dao Souls.
414. The difference between the ancestor and the progenitor of laws
Whoever first gave birth to this rule is called the Ancestor, and those who follow are called the Patriarchs. Nuwa is the Ancestor of the Law of Compassionate Motherhood; Xing Tian is the Ancestor of the Law. The Ancestor of the Law of Fire is unknown, but the True Lord of Fire Virtue is the Patriarch. Whoever first gave birth to the soul of the rule is called the Ancestor.
415. What is the exact date of the birth of the Red Dust Daoist Law?
Born on January 6th, formed on January 7th. The birth of a child is calculated from birth—the rule's birth may take one or two days. The rules of the mortal world are a sub-rule—a branch rule—of the Dharma transmission rules of Shakyamuni Buddha, and will definitely be born on the day of the Great Rule's enlightenment.
416. Laws similar to the mortal world's Daoist arenas that were born between heaven and earth.
The Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods gave birth to many principles—the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the Dao of Wang Yangming, produced a spiritual essence. Those with a spiritual essence endure through the ages; those without are merely perspectives of their time. Business can also generate a spiritual essence—Kazuo Inamori's business philosophy has a spiritual essence; Lei Jun's philosophy at Xiaomi has a spiritual essence; Elon Musk's company has a spiritual essence. However, this relies on technological development; if technology is no longer leading, it will perish. The teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the Dao of Wang Yangming, will continue to develop as long as there are people like them.
417. What is the principle behind the rules of the Red Dust Dojo?
The core concept is rules versus rules—all beings are constantly downward. Can a rule be established within the mortal realm to continuously transform it into a rule that makes all beings constantly upward? A rule that makes all beings constantly upward can be established within a rule field where all beings are constantly downward. The Buddhist realm is a spatial system independent of the laws of reincarnation. Black holes can also transcend the laws of physics. Escaping reincarnation doesn't necessarily mean leaving this space—one can build another space within this space, where the laws of reincarnation are ineffective.
418. How to enable ordinary people to follow the rules of the secular world?
The widespread instrumentalization, normalization, and transferability of supernatural powers—allowing ordinary people to utilize supernatural abilities to overcome all external difficulties. The only space for good deeds is the accumulation of merit—weakening good intentions through various methods within the entire reincarnation system. The weakening is slightly less pronounced in the celestial realm, but more problematic in the human realm; in the Dharma-ending Age, even helping an old lady is difficult—doing good deeds is costly and yields long-term positive results, while doing bad deeds is less costly and yields easier results. Generating good intentions is difficult in the demon and ghost realms. Creating companies, groups, and ecosystems—doing good deeds within these circles yields significant positive feedback, making many people willing to cultivate.
419. How the Heavenly Dao Rules Use the Evil of Human Nature to Control Everyone
First, it blocks the path to understanding higher truths. Second, it defines things extensively, making you crave power, money, sex, gambling, and drugs, defining many original sins—making it extremely difficult to do good. Reincarnation weakens good intentions—how can good intentions be weakened without inventing the Five Poisons and Four Hearts? Humans also possess good qualities—filial piety, love, protecting the weak, saving lives, and protecting our home and country. Defined evils are frequently aroused, while good is frequently weakened. Because we are too weak to do good.
420. How does the Red Dust Dojo address the issue of promoting virtuous behavior?
First, addressing survival needs—Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Second, safety needs—physical, health, personal safety, property, moral principles, and family safety. Third, fostering a sense of belonging through family, friendship, and connection. Fourth, achieving self-respect, self-confidence, personal growth, and being respected through helping others. Finally, realizing self-worth.
421. Why did the true explosion of human thought occur during times of chaos?
In prosperous times, tricks may survive—but when the tide goes out, you'll see who's been naked. In the degenerate age, during economic depressions, when everything is in disarray, the true power of the Tao will be revealed. When tricks no longer work, it's time to calm down and reflect—perhaps applying the Tao and its fundamental rules is the most important thing. Those who will truly enter the Tao realm in the mortal world in the future may all need to experience painful enlightenment or suffering.
422. The Four Stages of the Human Cultivation System
The first stage is knowing—to spread the correct Way, one must discover and believe it, which requires transmission, explanation, enlightenment, and profound understanding. The second stage is understanding the Way—interpreting the Way of sages or developing one's own Way, but without guaranteeing its practical application or effective use, and without establishing a spiritual center. The third stage is comprehending the Way—requiring enlightenment and understanding, and sufficient contact with all beings. The fourth stage is applying the Way—the major and minor applications of the Way.
423. How to attain enlightenment
Over 90,000 views in seven years—that's a large enough volume. At the same time, you need an apple to fall on your head—a single being to awaken you during the process of guiding others. You need someone to repeatedly enlighten you, and an environment for continuous application. In the process of application, you discover problems, correct them, and improve yourself. What might awaken you is a single sentence—"If you're given it, you'll understand; if you're not, you might never find your way." Finally, someone must bear the losses you incur during your growth—the preacher must be strong enough to bear all the losses incurred by those they help during their growth.
424. What is needed for entrepreneurial success?
1. Correct understanding and direction. 2. A great product—one-time use, lifetime repeat purchases, 30% probability. 3. Funding—the poor only have one chance. 4. Experience—success in unknown industries brings experience. 5. Ability.
The 10% Validity Principle—Fortune-telling masters operate on a 10% validity basis; 10% believe their predictions are always accurate, leading to a proportional decline. During economic booms, people have money and are willing to test their methods, creating an illusion of prosperity; during economic depressions, people should be cautious. Most people will never encounter a truly exceptional product in their lifetime. Every ten years, a new group of people make money and then fall back into poverty—when they are on a winning streak and encounter a suitable industry, there is competition, elimination, and the skills cannot be passed on; their efforts are simply a result of the times.
425. What are the types of imperfect entrepreneurial ability?
Technical, impulsive, irritable, suspicious, poor market sensitivity, insensitive, poor logic, rigid, overly cautious, timid, quick-tongued, impatient, greedy, prone to bad tricks, poor interpersonal skills, gossipy.
426. How to eliminate karma and cause and effect in the cycle of reincarnation
When faced with karmic consequences, it's difficult to control impulsive thoughts—eliminate these karmic consequences, accompany them through time, and cultivate positive habits. When impulsive, let their minds develop more slowly and ask more questions. In countless lifetimes of reincarnation, no one has helped them establish connections or habits—first, use tools to remove some of the habits and karmic consequences. True compassion—unlimited care, unlimited companionship, unlimited support, and the ability to bear the mistakes they make during their growth. Humans have children—only when caring for their own offspring can they truly love and care for them. If someone is as weak as a blade of grass, if you want them to truly resolve the cycle of reincarnation and no longer be reborn in the human realm—they will not be able to feel any karmic influence in the human realm. The only way to permanently leave the lower realms is to ensure that all mental and behavioral actions are not influenced by the lower realms.
427. To transcend the human realm, one must understand the unity of emptiness and form.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's wish is to liberate all beings in the human realm—this requires the complete spiritual practice in the human realm, called the unity of emptiness and form. Previously, sages hoped to help people become good; our wish is to no longer return to the human realm and end all cycles of reincarnation there. We continuously understand and perfect the laws of the human realm, ultimately ceasing to return—when perfection reaches its extreme, nothingness arises. The ultimate goal of everything is to one day cease to be needed. The greatest use lies in the uselessness of uselessness.
428. Simplification of the Mortal World Dojo
Using rules to fight rules. Growing up requires teaching them what is right—they believe it, change, apply it, and even make mistakes, applying these principles in the process of guiding others. One day, "bang!" they'll suddenly understand; after overcoming several obstacles, they'll achieve clarity, developing their own path and beliefs. Ultimately, understanding all worldly affairs means they won't need to come to this world anymore. Guidance, companionship, and a supportive environment are necessary—can you feel the right path when being manipulated by your boss in the office? Doing more and receiving less is reducing goodwill. Punish evil and promote good—don't punish evil, but promote good. All acts of kindness and good things should be rewarded. Punishing evil and promoting good—it's simple.
429. The Terrifying Impact of Karmic Debt on People
1. A physical illness that is incurable no matter how you treat it. 2. Affects personality and thinking. 3. Affects fortune—holds you back. 4. Makes you prone to disasters. 5. The worst possibility is that you will be reborn as your child to torment you.
