|   Five Elements   |   Our Return to Our Origin   |

By: ROBERT LUO
Translated by: TIEN DER LUO & FU E LUO


     Our Return to Our Origin:

      Heaven mandated that the Five Basic Elements be used to create people. When people receive these Five Basic Elements, they receive standing life. People acquire the Universe's Chi, five constant virtues (propriety, benevolence, trustworthiness, righteousness and wisdom) and the five organs of the body (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney).

      People are like a small circular Sky. The world we live in is a medium circular Sky. The Universe's Empty Sky is a large circular Sky. Our head is like the Sky. Abdomen is like the ground. Ear belongs to the water. Eye belongs to fire. Hands are like mountains. Foot is like thunder. Hip is like the wind. Mouth is like a marsh.

      People originally came from the Empty Sky, Universe Sky and Paradise (land of the divine). We all belonged to the 96 hundred trillion original souls. Eons ago, we were all very pure, clear, light and bright, like babies who are vivacious and jovial. So we were able to live in a fairyland or sageland. For some reason, we couldn't stay. We came down to Tai Ji (Ying Yang) and then down to Earth. This means people came down from the Truth Sky to the Chi Sky and finally to the Material World (Earth). We've been living on this Material World for 60 thousand years. Everybody is wandering and lost in this world, due to the five dust roots (eye, ear, nose, tongue and body) and the five dust boundaries (color, sound, fragrance, flavor and touch). Watching too much TV and computer hurts the eye. Hearing too much loud music hurts the ear.....and so on. So in doing everything, we shouldn't go over the limit, otherwise it will be fine. People do not pay attention to their own body, so their body takes in a lot of negative energy, making both the body and soul heavy. Because of too much negative energy and heaviness, people can't return to their original Sky, so the only choice is to stay here on Earth. Since they are accustomed to be here, people think they belong here and accept the idea. Actually, this Material World (Earth) isn't a place where we can live forever. The Spirit World (Heaven) is a place where we have to go and can live forever. Our goal and the purpose of life is to return to our origin, which is the heaven and Sky. In order to do that, we have to do spiritual cultivation to lighten our body and spirit.

      The basic methods to return to the Sky, regardless of what religion you believe in are:

      Six Paramitas (method of gaining salvation)

  1. 佈施 / Almsgiving and offering
  2. 持戒 / Steadfastly keeping the holy precepts
  3. 忍辱 / Forbearance
  4. 精進 / Supreme Diligence
  5. 禪定 / Zen and Meditation
  6. 智慧 / Wisdom

      From school we learn knowledge and education. From society we learn work and reason. From religion we learn truth. So we need to combine reason, truth, the Six Paramitas, Tian De Spiritual Healing and meditation to return back to Heaven easily and quickly. Our mission coming down to Earth is to save ourselves and everyone else, to gain achievement for ourselves and also for everyone else. We also have to rise above and surpass ourselves and encourage everybody else to do the same by teaching them what we know (like Buddha and Sage teaching others to do the same as them).

     Our Material and Spiritual World:

      In our life time on Earth we must seek ways to rebuild ourselves. Our planet Earth is but a tiny planet in our huge Universe. Our planet when compared to other planets in the Universe is considered primitive by at least 1,000-2,000 years. The technology/science of other planets are at least 100 million times more advance than ours. The planet we live on is a true world (material and spiritual world). Other planets are real true world (spiritual world). Our true world (material and spiritual world) is like the ying yang complementary of each other, such as right and wrong, yes and no, black and white. For example, watching TV or computer can allow us to gain knowledge and learning, but at the same time our eyes and our spirit are both hurt from the radiation coming from the screen. However, when looking at natural elements (trees, Sky, clouds, space, etc.) we are not harmed in both body and spirit, which proves that natural elements are more fit for us rather than our own creations.

      The material world is full of competition. Like evil which is the opposite of good. Competition is the opposite way of help and achievement. However, though the material world causes suffering it also provides knowledge and experience.

      In the true world, human beings develop the technology/science too fast, hurting us in return. For example, listening to too much music will weaken our hearing and watching too much TV will weaken our eyes. At the same time the development of the religious and spiritual self is slow in progress. This is why modern people are in great pain. So now, in our generation we must be aware and try to balance the development of material and spiritual world together at the same time. For example, in a day a person works eight hours to support his or her family. Another eight hours should be spent raising and replenishing one's spiritual energy (which can be done through meditation or cultivation). The rest of the time can be spent relaxing and going about other activities.

      The spiritual world prefers clear and calm such as meditation which is quiet and promote essence and water from our body. Our origin is far far away in the Sky from (none, none, none) to (have, have, have), from (Sage, Sage, Sage) to (people, people, people), from spiritual world above come down to material world, from real true world to true world, from light to heavy, from the Buddhist/God seed to human being seed, from the best non-suffering environment down to the worst suffering environment.

     The Urgency of Our Times:

      In the twenty first century human beings have developed very high technology and science, so life is more pleasant and comfortable. We are very lucky to become humans rather than animals or plants. So we have to be more appreciative of Heaven for providing the sun, moon, star, universe and heavenly light. Without them shining on all living things we wouldn't have such comfort. We also have to thank the heaven for providing food, water, and air so that we can live. So we need to repay Heaven by doing good deeds, carry out cultivation, reform ourselves and other people to return to our place of origin. Otherwise if we don't, we will be punished. We would have wasted our trip coming to Earth and of no purpose. In the Underworld there is not a single happy day to live. We will lose human form and become animals or plants to suffer. We come down to Earth not just to eat, drink, sex, gamble and live a dissipated life. The purpose of life is to create benefit and welfare for human kind so that our life has meaning and our intelligence will enhance and magnify.

      Buddha said that people who lose the human form is like a vast piece of land with yellow soil. If human form is kept however it's like a handful of soil. A lot of people on this world these days are lost knowing only to search outward such as self enjoyment, self pleasure, sinking in moral standards, pursuit of higher technology and science forgetting to pursue the inner intelligence and spiritual world.

      Before, our original souls have very light and pure forms because they know to enhance and pursue inward the inner intelligence/spiritual world (real true world) rather than pursue outward the technical enhancement which we do now. So that's why Heaven Books said that the Earth's history is ten million years old but has been created and destroyed three times. China is a very old civilization but it only has five thousand years of written record. Now the same thing is happening over again. People's heart are very bad only looking for self advantage and self benefit. Religious fighting, environmental pollution, reckless researching technology/science and wars only quickens the destruction of Earth. Because human hearts are confused, the Sky's heart is also confused so the four seasons are reversed and natural disasters become more frequent. We must be aware and raise our inner intelligence/spirit back to our original empty sky, universe sky, paradise, heaven or real true world.

      Right now heaven is very urgent. People's hearts are drowned in pleasure-seeking for themselves, not knowing to cultivate oneself. Sky's heart calculate that people's heart will be very difficult to return to heaven. Now the Earth is like a rotten apple and can no longer be used or eaten but thrown out. When time comes the Sky will take back good human's soul seeds and put it upon the cloud castle. The bad human's soul seed and the Earth will be wiped out. Then the Sky would recreate the Earth again which will take 10,800 years. So the good human's souls could enjoy heaven for 10,800 years of comfortable and happy days. The bad human's soul seed and Earth will be obliterated together and scattered into space. The bad human souls in order to get back to human form must wait 10,800 years till the Earth is reformed. In the meantime they will be suffering and waiting.

     Story of a Couple in the Frozen Chicken Business:

      Human beings living in the 21st century are very lucky to live in a comfortable world of high technology and high education. Everyone is pursuing outside pleasure but not raising their inner intelligence, virtue and religious cultivation. People lose morality and therefore the people's conscious fall to competing against each other over research and developing new technology and using bad wisdom to do business. The money earned this way is not rightfully earned and will not be kept for long, therefore when the time comes karma will punish both the person guilty of obtaining this tainted money and his or her descendant. The following is a real story that happened in Taiwan:

      On a Sunday morning in a Buddhist temple in Taiwan, families gather at the temple to pray and eat vegetarian food. One couple holding a newborn baby, covered at the bottom half of the body with a blanket, stood in the middle of many admiring crowd. However upon the faces of the parents were looks of sadness. The crowd of course were confused why the couple were unhappy at having such a beautiful baby. Then a Zen Master from the temple appeared and received greetings from the couple. The Zen Master took a look at the couple's baby and asked them "Do you work in the frozen chicken business?" The greatly saddened couple nodded their heads. The couple then lift the blanket covering the baby's lower half. The upper body of the baby was normal but the lower half, from legs down resemble a frozen chicken leg missing parts from ankle down. The couple broke down into tears. The Zen Master then asked "Can you change your business, don't do any more of this butchering business, frozen chicken (bad wisdom jobs). Change to other good wisdom business." The parents of the baby said "We can't, we already invested too much money and time into this business and now we just spent money in purchasing bigger refrigerators to expand the business." The Zen master shook his head and left, saying nothing more.

      Because the family spent many years in the frozen chicken business and not knowing that frozen chicken is an indirect butchering business and continue to work in and expand their business, they accumulate a mountain of wealth but also accumulate a mountain of bad karma. Sometimes by increasing one's wealth and business one also increases one's bad karma and sin. In this true story it shows that all living things and all souls are equal. People receive righteous Chi from the natural world, animals and plants receive biased Chi from the natural world. Therefore animals and plants offer their body and life to human beings. That means biased offer itself to righteous. The plants and animal hope to get righteous Chi so that they can then reincarnate into human form from animals, plants or other living things. Human being taking too much of the biased chi (such as bad wisdom business) will reincarnate into an animal, plant or other living things. So people reincarnate into animals, plants or other living things while the animals, plants and other living things reincarnate into people. This is a constant cycle. So the baby when born is very righteous. Since the couple has worked in the frozen chicken business for many years and indirectly responsible for the killing of so many chickens. The chickens' soul wish to take some of the righteous Chi and therefore takes it from the baby. The baby therefore accumulate the biased Chi and so when born become chicken-like. So that means retribution is scary and horrifying, so if a person does bad karma he/she will receive horrible retribution in the future. The best way to avoid retribution is to not do bad karma in the first place or if one cannot avoid doing bad karma one must do a lot more good deeds to lessen the retribution.

      So all people need to accumulate unlimited wisdom, unlimited morality and unlimited good deeds so that retribution, natural disasters and human disasters such as terrorism would end or at least be lessened. With unlimited wisdom, morality and good deeds, it would set a foundation and prepare us to enter a third and higher world.

     Story of a Termite:

      Once upon a time the original soul of a termite, who has reincarnated into termites for a thousand million times, asked Buddha: "I've been reincarnated into a termite for a long long time, I really don't want to be reincarnated into a termite again because there is no meaning but to eat wood. When can I become a human being?" Buddha replies: "You've done too much bad deeds and accumulated a mountain of sin. So your chance of becoming a human being is an indefinite future."

      In order to become a human being you must have done a lot of good deeds and morality in your past lives, so you must be very careful not to do bad deeds. Doing too much sin or guilty deeds will bring about next reincarnation's debt, and it will affect your afterlife. Once human form is lost, one has to wait 1,000 or 2,000 years to be able to reincarnate into a human being again. So you must treasure your human form and use the short lifetime of a human being on this world to help others achieve enlightenment, which will help yourself.

     Promoting and Rebuilding Oneself:

      This world is your changing life boundary. You must at this time change, rebuild and achieve yourself, don't wait until your death to do these things because the time and space are always changing. Who know and who can guarantee that next generation you'll be reincarnated into a human being again and live in a comfortable society with modern technology. Maybe like the termite you will become an insect, plant or animal, then you will have no future. Sky, Earth and human beings are the three genius, very great. Sky has sun, moon and star to light the world. The Earth has water, fire and wind. Human being has essence, Chi and spirit. Sky morality has ying and yang. Earth morality has toughness and gentleness. Human morality has benevolence and righteousness. Sky's big morality offers promotion of life. Earth's big morality offers nurture of life. Human's big morality offers protection and sparing of life.

      Peoples' body is half ying and half yang. Daytime belong to yang and nighttime belong to ying. At 11pm-1am and 11am-1pm the blood goes back to the gall bladder and heart, so people need to relax and rest at these times, which will lessen their sickness.

      Peoples' hearts also belong to half ying and half yang. Ying heart is a black heart always full of desire and selfishness, wanting everything for themselves. Yang heart is a heavenly heart and also a red heart, being just and pure. Peoples' hearts are very mysterious, strange, restless, poor quality, stubborn, annoying, painful and unstable so we need to cultivate, clean and clear the heart. We must listen and accept both the good and bad things that are directed towards us. If bad or hurtful things are heard you must think of something good and happy to calm, change and relieve your anger and therefore prevent violence or hatred.

     Our Human Body:

      Heaven is pure righteous yang Chi. Earth is pure righteous ying Chi. Heaven, Earth and People are the three intelligent geniuses. Human beings live between ying and yang, holding up Heaven and Earth. The tip of the head of a human being holds up the Heaven. The human head is an oval shape, the feet stepping on the Earth is square in shape. Peoples' bodies accept the natural world's essence, our sun's light, moon's light and star's shining light promoting everyday life. All flying, aquatic, marine and terrestrial creatures, plants and non-living things have ying yang Chi. One thing, one Tai Ji. If ying Chi and yang Chi balances then the body is healthy with no sickness. This can be done by Tao meditation, adherence to Zen Buddhist teachings, and practicing Confucianism to nurture the Chi. Sick people always have a dominant ying Chi and weak yang Chi. Nowadays, people are infected with bad habits so their yang Chi is very thin and weak, therefore their ying Chi suppress their inner intelligence/yang-Chi/soul, breaking the five elements and also breaking the heart. The heart is the original soul's foundation. Both the heart and matter lives together in coexistence. If there is no heart there will be no matter and the same vice versa. If there is matter your heart can see. If you have a heart you can see matter. So without one the other cannot exist. A blind person cannot see matter, but has a heart so he or she can feel, taste, smell and hear matter. Heaven has no heart. Heaven's heart, people's heart and matter all live together. So Heaven does not make any decision but watches and records. So a human body is composed of a fake body (matter) and real body (soul/inner intelligence) living together. The fake body has a maximum life span of about 100 years, but the real body lives forever. Human beings generally understand only one life, physical life, but actually we have another life, and that is our soul life. Our physical life is short, but our soul life is for eternity.

      The process that's unseen and seems unreal in this world would be real once we leave this world and enter the next world. Although people who do many bad deeds believe that no one's watching, but actually Heaven and Earth have already recorded everything. When the person dies and go to the third world he or she will receive punishment with all the records shown as proof. The fake body and matter around us looks real but is actually fake. The fake body without the inner intelligent soul in the body would be just like a corpse incapable of movement. These days, although scientific development and research in cloning are in progress, Heaven's permission is still required to send souls into these duplicate bodies, so that cloning or development of stem cells can be successful. Heaven would not allow successful research, development and mass production of clones or stem cells if it isn't beneficial to human beings. The material human body was lent to us to be used by Heaven in hope that we would use our fake material body to do good deeds and help everything. Through cultivation and offering Heaven/Earth righteous Chi our fake material body can connect to our real body (inner intelligence/real soul).

      The five elements combine to become one Chi, then again combine to become Chi Master (Chi Master has no color, Chi is inside none). It can also be said that Ying essence, after Ying essence is Yang essence. Ying essence Chi, the roots come from the wiser Chi, belonging to Yang's natural birth. Ying promotes Chi, which interacts with water. The lightness is Chi, the heaviness is water. If there is no Ying and Yang there is no body, this being the case, Ying and Yang is divided, therefore creating body. All colors originate from Ying and Yang. The five element essence and shapeless things cover up to protect. Human soul, shapeless body, Tai Ji (Ying Yang) all share and use the same body. So God, devil and people all co-exist within the same body.

      Sky's first fire changes into Sky's first water. Inside fire there's water, inside water there's fire. Water is real Yang and fire is real Ying. Ying and Yang are natural truths. After Ying/Yang, Tao is born, Tao creates the natural world, the natural world creates people, then everything grows. People's righteous Chi is actually the natural world's righteousness. Natural world has no heart but uses people's heart. People who desire to return to the original universe must be able to understand birth and death, Ying and Yang, and the limits of materiality, and thus desire less for materials. Wise people understand the heart (spiritual) and know to pursue the heart's sentiment happiness (spiritual enlightenment). Foolish people focus upon the body (material) searching for bodily pleasure (material happiness). You're born from nothing, and after death you return to nothing, which means birth and death are all none.

     Important Message:

      Understanding yes/no, birth/death and real/unreal you will be brought closer to the heart of the heavens. Therefore you can then return to the original universe. Save yourself then save others, ferry yourself and then ferry others, so you are then a very good soul (intelligent soul) and your real soul can return to none, back to the original countryland (Paradise).

      Time is short on this world and can unexpectedly be cut shorter, like fish suddenly finding itself in diminishing water, it can't live long. So the coming of death cannot be predicted. Only through supreme diligent cultivation can one gain Heaven's protection from disasters, because one would then be a good cultivating soul seed. People these days are ignorant about cultivation of oneself, only feeling bored and wish to waste time in dancing, taking drugs, drinking, smoking and sex. When his or her life ends he/she will return to hell and undergo judgment. The Hell king will ask "Did you do any good deeds or practice cultivation?" If you answer "I only sought money and bodily happiness, I never knew what is cultivation." The Hell king would be disappointed and would take away the human shell and give back animals, plants or other lower form creatures' shell to reincarnate back into creatures other than human beings. At that time excuses or explanations would not pardon or help a person's punishment. Think about the vast number of people and living things that die in a day and return to Hell, waiting in line for judgment, punishment and reincarnation back to the natural world. The time it takes to reincarnate into the natural world would maybe take hundreds, thousands, or millions of years. So it's not easy to reincarnate into human beings. So with your time in this world you have to work to make a living but you also have to seek spiritual cultivation, this is very very important for every human being.
