Features: People do not gain faith to maintain the dominance of reason over the universe, but to become masters of the world created by God. This set of "library" is neatly placed before me. 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 "a lesson from the past," the key lies in how we identify and utilize it. 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 in any way. 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 cannot be ambiguous. If some people with a "Jia Gui mindset" in the meantime, while worshipping the current foreign "stars," "quasi-stars," or "aspiring stars" who rise and fall, also come to worship this batch of already "named" great bodhisattvas, then I firmly believe it is unacceptable.
