Grand Master Hun Yuan taught: “For world peace, we have to trace to the origin from the cross-straits peace, Asia to the world.”

The project of this Weixin tracing origin includes research work and the joint worship of Chinese ancestors, which are managed by the Taiwan Guiguzi Academy and Weixin Shengjiao Chinese Joint Ancestors Worship Association.

These research results can make all Chinese people trace their origin and not forget their roots. It is to identify with their ancestral lineage, by means of which opposition and resentment can be dismissed. Besides, through mutual respect, the “cross-strait peace and world peace can be achieved.

Grand Master Hun Yuan in the preface of Ancient Chinese Emperors Recorded stated, “Since ancient time, there have been sages, emperors, saints, and commons doing their jobs to shoulder the calling of gods. Therefore, the immeasurable merits were implemented to the world. We should all bow to history. And take history as a mentor. So Weixin Shengjiao is to look at the evolutionary changes of history as a mentor. In fact, all Chinese people should practice that in order to understand the truth of life.

Chinese lineage has lasted for seven thousand years, which is blessed by Chinese ancestors’ virtues. There are 15,615 Chinese family names. It is said that the Chinese descendants’ lives are in a state of diasporas. Grand Master Hun Yuan in the preface of Surnames of the Chinese Ancestors said, “For five thousand years, the ethnic strife have led to countless catastrophes and calamities. It was because of the unawareness of mind.” He added, “Falun has been turning. Causes and effects circulate. If one committed evil in this life, the evil would pay back in return after life. This karma has lasted for five thousand years.” Accordingly, Grand Master Hun Yuan commanded Taiwan Guiguzi Academy to conduct the research about “the Chinese catastrophes and war.” Thus, the book The Records of Chinese Catastrophes and War was written.

Tracing the origin - “the Ceremony of Chinese Joint Ancestor Worship”

Grand Master Hun Yuan’s “The Twenty-First Century Chinese Joint Ancestor Worship Ceremony” is a starting point for world peace and harmony, the beginning of Chinese consolidation and respect. It is the time for Chinese people to establish a Pure Land together.

Grand Master Hun Yuan on 15 November 2003 taught, “Chinese have the same root, so worshiping ancestors is the beginning of Chinese culture. Chinese people have to observe history and put aside polemic criticism. Then society will be more peaceful.”

Grand Master Hun Yuan taught: “I Ching is the key to achieve peaceful mind; thus, Yi is on the mind. Every creature is inseparable from I Ching. Our mind is I Ching. A restless heart means unbalanced. Fuxi’s first line is termed as Heaven; second as Earth. Heaven is thinking, confidence and hope; only humans can reconcile with heaven and earth. I Ching is one, tranquility, and Feng Shui is about natural tranquility. Now people have severely damaged nature. The world is full of

Shui exists forever, and this is the law of nature. Thousands of creatures depend on winds, water and light. Those elements are from the Buddha of love. They are the driving force of the universe.”

The method of our peaceful mind is to merge Chinese traditional culture with I Ching, Feng Shui, and hundreds thoughts as one in a melting furnace. Putting this Dharma in mind is what future civilization relies on.

Weixin Shengjiao is a dharma for dismissing misfortunes.

Weixin Shengjiao blended with , and Taoism, hundreds of religious thinking in one. One is also I Ching.

heart method of I Ching Feng Shui.”

Grand Master Hun Yuan taught: “I Ching heart method is the Dharma of truth.” He said, “The mind is

liberation. Only I Ching and Feng Shui can make human reconcile with nature and reach a state of harmony. The coexistence of nature and humans is to reach the truth and peaceful mind. Therefore, Yi is one, the mind. From a tiny spirit

to a gathered one, it shines throughout the world. Thus, I Ching is the light. I Ching is the combination of Heaven, Earth and Human. That is, when the whole world is bright, it will reach the realm of peace.

Grand Master Hun Yuan in the article “Dharma of I Ching” mentioned, “Throughout five thousand years of Chinese history, the most prosperous periods were the Zhou dynasty, Han dynasty, Tang dynasty, and the Qing dynasty. They all applied I Ching to govern the country. Since the ruling of Republic of China, Chinese people abandoned those treasures and considered I Ching superstition. He said, “The Buddhist has compassion, Christ has love and Taoism has mercy. Those thoughts are the basic spirit of ruling but how to practice is a profession, a representation of wisdom. That is to seek stability in the “changes” and development in stability.

The Feng Shui concepts of Weixin Shengjiao

Grand Master Hun Yuan in The Mystery of Feng Shui mentioned, “The wind and water are full of the world. They fill in the void without a hiatus. There is no any obstruction. They make life. It was said: when Falun is turning, all lives survive. Thus, Feng Shui is the origin of all life. It is indispensable ....”

The book of The Cosmology of Feng Shui mentioned, “Feng Shui is the driving force of birth and death in the universe. It is elements of human existence. It is also an invisible force for maintaining human interaction. People living in the world are inseparable from Feng Shui. People’s health and wisdom are inseparable from Feng Shui and so are birth and death.”

Feng Shui is life. People do not have to believe Feng Shui but are still living within it. Or they are protected by Feng Shui. People with no understanding of Feng Shui regard it as superstition. Only people with the knowledge of Feng Shui realize that Feng Shui is life. It is a wonder Dharma for protecting the Earth. Thus, it should be widely passed to people to prove that I Ching and Feng Shui is a lighthouse for the world peace and for the mind.

Since realizing the truth, Grand Master Hun Yuan has widely spread the concept and vowed to implant the profound meaning of Feng Shui in people’s mind. He also reminded people to integrate themselves into nature and to reconcile with nature to survive. It was said, “If people can adhere to this Dharma, their lives will be full of hope and happiness.”

Accordingly, Weixin Shengjiao is the Dharma of filial piety, peaceful mind, altruism, misfortunes elimination, and ultimately to world peace and harmony. It is the same as the concept of the national founder Sun Yat-sen’s “One World” (We are the World).
