The Chinese culture orthodoxy,

I Ching has spread for seven thousand four hundred years since Fuxi invented the Bagua,

second as earth and positions man in between.

Therefore, the rules and laws have established and all creatures have generated.

- 24 - On August 14, 2005, Grand Master Hun Yuan paid tribute to the Bagua Founder, Fuxi by leading multitude of his disciples to the Fuxi Temple at Fuxi’s hometown Tianshui. Master Hun Yuan quoted Fuxi’s words to teach his disciples, “Fuxi invented Bagua to help people to understand the changes of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth contain air (Chi), number (shu), and appearance (xiang). Chi is heaven and light. Number is from 1 to 9 and 0. Xiang can be physical body, four seasons, or 24 lunar seasons. Xiang includes Fen shui. Chi, number, Xiang circles to reach natural force and form light (Zhenqi), which is the origin of life and mind. It is also what Fuxi does, A line becomes Heaven. Merging heaven, earth and human, life will be fully bright.

Grand Master Hun Yuan added: “Fuxi, the Bagua founder, is Wuji (without ultimate), which is the same realm as Buddha.” Fuxi states, “My teaching is the same as Buddhist one.” Wuji (without ultimate), or a spaceless and timeless world, is the realm of Buddha. Chaos is rulai (tathagata). Fuxi emphasized that any “religious sect,” regardless of , , , is inseparable from I . It includes all kinds of laws. I is to reach this shore to that shore. Fuxi’s up and down “hands” signify yin and yang, or called “Tai chi”. Tai chi gives birth to two polarities ; two polarities give birth to four phenomena ; four phenomena give birth to eight Baguas; eight times eight give birth to sixty-four guas to 384 yaos . It is from two to endless lives and creatures.

Grand Master Hun Yuan continued to add, “The concept, “A draw as Heaven” should focus on the word “a or one, ” which means “that point, or a concept.” the creation of the world. The second concept is Earth, which means a grounding land. Heaven brings bright and it is formless, a kind of spirit. Fuxi’s Wisdom is the great wisdom. - 25 - The New Religion of the World Taiwan Weixin Shengjiao

Taoism

- 26 - Chapter 2 The origin of Weixin Shengjiao

The central thought of the Weixin School is to practice Eight Saints’ Paths . By studying natural phenomenon interpreted by the Bagua, such as Qian pertains to “heaven,” Dui pertains to “lake,” Li pertains to to “wind,” kan pertains to “water,” Gen pertains to “mountain”, and kun pertains to “earth,” we to reach a unity of humans and nature. We seek a neutral path to cultivate ourselves consistently until obtaining a tranquil mind.

Gui Gu Immortal Master Wan Chan Lao Chu teaches that world harmony is a status of dharmachakra (or Falun), or the combination of heaven and human. To achieve world peace is to study the laws of Heaven and to foster humanistic thoughts.

Grand Master Hun Yuan has indicated that our Dao (method) is to save the wandering souls or the dead by spanning two divisions, Yin and Yang, life and death. The middle, beyond all darkness and light, or yin and yang, is the only method that can save both the living and the dead from plights. We apply I Ching and Feng Shui to achieve that goal.

The central thinking of the Weixin School is a supreme concept—no boundary for external world and no delimiting for the inner world.

The mentor of the Weixin School is nature. Natural substances lead people to understand the world. By observing and understanding nature and life with heart, people can cultivate themselves.

The Classic of Gui Gu Immortal Master’s Heaven Virtues stated, “Fuxi invented the I Ching, in which light is regarded as the king named San Yang Kai-Tai (When the light illuminates, everything thrives). San Yang is white light; thus, the sage uses it in I Ching. It nourishes the world and crowds. It contains both merits and faults or good and evil. Therefore, there is no boundary of two polarities. It has the same heart as Buddha, so it is called Da-di (the great emperor).

Grand Master Hun Yuan instructed, “The natural world is the foundation of everything. Heart is the air that heaven and earth form, so the law of I Ching is based on heart. Heart is Buddha, Tathagata, God, and the Heaven Emperor.

On 26 March in 2009, the patriarch of Weixin Shengjiao, the sage of Gui Gu Immortal Master Wan Chan Lao Chu in the Sutra of The Weixin Heart Calmness guided Grand Master Hun Yuan with nine hundred mantra. He said if people recite those words, they could be united to the universe and void as one. Only the mind and Pure land can cultivate selfness.

The establishment of this religion is a response to future Heavenly Laws that our souls rely on in the 21st Century. - 29 - The New Religion of the World Taiwan Weixin Shengjiao
