Features: The fact that the Taoist brothers and sisters have been able to propagate the Tao together until now is entirely due to the protection of the divine, the guidance of the ancestors, and the care and support of fellow practitioners. May the divine, ancestors, and fellow practitioners continue to protect and support us, making greater contributions to promoting Taoist faith, upholding Chinese culture, uniting the national spirit, and achieving the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! As we study the Tao to be human, we must first serve the people as a whole. Today's society is a socialist society where the people are in power, so studying the Tao to be human means serving the masses and serving socialism.
In the Great Numinous and Boundless Pervading of the First Origin, there are eight characters: "Equal and Compassionate Love, Turning Strangers into Family." This means we must show "compassion" to all people under heaven and treat them as family. Like Mr. Zhao Puchu and the Chinese Buddhist Association advocating for the spirit of "Humanistic Buddhism," there are eight characters: "Subduing the World and Benefiting Sentient Beings." This "sentient being" refers to humans, enabling the masses to gain "benefit" and "happiness." In this regard, studying the Tao to be human and studying Buddhism to be human should be completely aligned.
