Features: Man does not gain faith to maintain the rule of reason over the universe, but to become the master of the world created by God. This set of "library" is neatly placed before me now. The foreign authors can be considered "celebrities," and the books contain their wisdom, naturally with both the essence and dross, experience and lessons coexisting. How should we treat this set of books? Personally, I believe the words I have been tirelessly speaking about above are the criteria for dealing with this library. First, there is "the warning of the predecessors," the key lies in how we identify and utilize them. Second, these are "stones from other mountains," which we use to "attack" our jade. Third, "put ourselves first," putting our current needs first, this point cannot be ignored at all. We must carefully discern the essence and dross in the books according to our current needs to decide whether to absorb or discard. The initiative is entirely in our hands, and this is not open to ambiguity. If some individuals with a "Jia Gui mentality" in the meantime, while worshipping the current foreign "stars," "quasi-stars," or "aspiring stars" who rise and fall in fantasy, also come to worship these already "named" great bodhisattvas, I firmly believe it is unacceptable.
