Subject: Take the Dharma-Medicine to Eliminate Suffering (勸服法藥 苦患速除)
Date: February.06.2019
“With loving-kindness, we cultivate conditions to protect sentient beings. With compassionate vows as our power, we urge them to take the Dharma-medicine. The time and world, people and the four elements are out of balance. The cause of this is that evil poisons have intruded upon them. Thus, their suffering increases with each passing day. By taking this Dharma-medicine, they can eliminate their suffering. Three Vehicle practitioners uphold the Dharma and have not lost their original minds. With the Dharma-medicine of the One Vehicle, all their diseases will be cured.”
We must mindfully seek to comprehend this! “With loving-kindness, we cultivate conditions to protect sentient beings. With compassionate vows as our power, we urge them to take the Dharma-medicine.” We also mentioned this a few days ago. When it comes to conditions, the Twelve Links of Cyclic Existence, their origin is a single thought. For ordinary beings, a deluded thought gives rise to the Three Subtleties. For all Bodhisattvas, a thought [gives rise to] “the Four Great Vows.” “The Four Great Vows” are the sincere and great vows to transform all sentient beings. So, “unconditional loving-kindness and universal compassion” is the direction for all of us who are Buddhist practitioners and the path we must work hard on. So, “With loving-kindness, we cultivate conditions”. Our direction, this path that we must clear, is to “protect sentient beings.” That means that we must go among people to give our care and protect sentient beings. Sentient beings have many sufferings, so we must make compassionate vows; we must form great aspirations and make these great compassionate vows.
So, we must mindfully make the effort to persuade and transform sentient beings to accept the Dharma. Only with the Dharma can we save [people’s] minds and the world. This requires the Dharma. The Dharma is in the world. If people are unwilling to accept it, then the Dharma of this world will be for nothing. Thus, with the Dharma in the world, we need opportunities to guide the sentient beings of the world toward accepting the Dharma.
In the present time and world, in the world during this era, the four elements have lost their balance. The land has been damaged, and there is severe turbidity in the air. What of the human mind? The human mind tends to pursue desires. This is how the four elements of the world at the present time are out of balance. When we look at earth, water, fire and wind, they have truly lost their balance and harmony. We can see that people’s minds have lost their directions. So, what is the original cause for this? This has already accumulated for a long time. Over tens of thousands of years, it has been the same; people give rise to desires, so “a deluded thought creates the Three Subtleties.” The Three Subtleties refer to very subtle workings of the mind. Our greed, anger and ignorance are perpetuated. Adding arrogance and doubt, they form the Five Poisons. The Five Poisons naturally create the Five Turbidities. Through these poisons, these perspectives gradually enter [our minds] and turn into habitual tendencies in our consciousnesses. So, we think that fighting, stealing and taking things from each other is normal. Over time, these conflicts and greed have become normal phenomena for people of this world.
So, such [tendencies] continue to multiply. They arose out of this single thought greed, anger and ignorance. With greed, anger and ignorance, naturally people begin to fight over things and start doubting one another. Once someone gains [something], they become proud and insufferably arrogant. This is the illness of modern people. This illness [is due to] the “Five Poisons” that already exist; we have these five kinds of mentality in our minds.
Due to this, evil poisons continuously intrude upon us, which leads us to create negative karma. As this negative karma accumulates, these seeds [are stored] within our consciousness. The habitual tendencies and consciousnesses that we create in this lifetime, we carry over to our next. This happens lifetime after lifetime. We have continued doing this for a very long time, for thousands or tens of thousands of years, lifetime after lifetime.
So, due to the intrusion of evil poison, there is bitter suffering. For countless lifetimes, these conditions have continuously formed. We continuously form negative causes, negative conditions and negative effects. Causes, conditions, effects and retributions continuously follow us in a chain effect. So, what can we do? In this way, suffering continues to accumulate, and interpersonal conflicts keep accumulating. What can be done about this? People form enmity, which leads to calamities. Throughout lifetime after lifetime, when will the mutual acts of vengeance end? There is only one way, which is to “take this Dharma-medicine,” [to empty] the Dharma! Principles have always existed in this world, it is just that nobody seeks to comprehend them. The Great Awakened One had already comprehended them. He continuously analyzed the causes of suffering to help everyone understand, but His lifespan in this world was painfully short.
In the Saha World, this is how tangible lives are. The Buddha came in accordance with [the needs of] the world, and in accordance with the lifespan of this world, He had to enter Parinirvana. His time was painfully short. The Awakened One reached enlightenment in this world, but He had less than 50 years to expound the Dharma. Sentient begins had already strayed from the principles for many lifetimes, so it was not easy for them to accept the Dharma. As they had just encountered [the Dharma], the Buddha was about to enter Parinirvana.
So, [they had] these memories; the practitioners began to engage in practice, and starting as Hearers and Solitary Realizers, they eliminated their afflictions and habitual tendencies 42 years later, the Buddha was proactively [saying]. “Everyone, please change your mentality! Awaken both yourselves and others! In the process of awakening others, you can grow your own awakening. So, you must go among people in this world to transmit and teach the Buddha-Dharma to sentient begins.”
However, a long time has passed since that origin over 2000 years ago. From the time [when the Buddha] could spread the Dharma. Right Dharma slowly but continuously flourished. There were people who put it into practice through common understanding, consensus and action. The time during which the Dharma had been transmitted from its source was quite brief. Everyone deeply believed and understood it. They knew and understood it. Since [people] knew and understood it, naturally, there were more people who put it into practice. With the passing of time, people’s habitual tendencies slowly become indolent. Moreover, their hearts became deluded by ignorance and afflictions. [Their] pure and true mind slowly became defiled. The Dharma in the world gradually lost its purity. Although [people] erected statues and engraved sutras, this statues were only an appearance, and the stories that were spread and the sutras were only words. In particular, after being passed down over and over again, the Dharma naturally became [only] an appearance. It became [superficial], based on only matters and appearances. This is called “Dharma-semblance. People created these statues and inscribed those sutra passages. Sometimes, as the sutra passages [were transmitted] by people, the wording may more or less lose its accuracy, causing a great divergence. This is to say nothing of the fact that, when every person encounters the Dharma and the principles, everyone has their views and understanding, which are different. They teach their own views and understanding according to their times. Regarding the Dharma that was expounded during the era of the Buddha, we must rely on its words. From the appearance of these words and the modern way of life, we apply our own mindset to [interpret] the words and experience the Buddha’s intentions back then. When we look at the way of life nowadays, we feel that these principles [should be] employed in the living conditions of the world at the present time. At this time, in this environment and within these interpersonal relationships, these [turbidities] have already developed. The Buddha’s thinking during that time and the concepts that He taught should be applied in the present so they can bring purity to people’s minds. When applied among people, we can bring harmony to interpersonal relationships in a timely manner. This is how individuals exercise the Dharma. [Time] has passed since the era of Right Dharma in the world, when the Buddha taught the Dharma. The concept of Right Dharma abided in the world until the teachings gradually turned toward tangible matters and appearances. [This development] then continued on to our present way of life. How can we bring balance and harmony to this way of life? We must utilize the principles; we must apply them to matters and appearances to accord with our current times. The goal is to use these teachings to introduce [the principles] so that everyone understands the concepts of how to transform their lives. This is also prescribing medicine!
For example, in the past, when Hua Tuo prescribed medicine, he used his knowledge and experience. He was very impressive! He understood the vital channels of the human body; he could take [a person’s] pulse and understand the state of person’s entire body. He used all kinds of medicine in the world, turning everything into medicine. This is because what is contained in the macrocosm of the world and the microcosm of our body’s organs can be brought together. So, he used herbal medicine; he was able to go into nature [to obtain] all kinds of medicinal herbs and continuously discover [their properties]. In this way, he used them on the human body [to save] lives. However, when it comes to medicine, nowadays, when people receive an inspiration, they can gradually and continuously deepen their research. Western scientists have mindfully done research and have now developed. Western Medicine and drugs. As for Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbs, the times are changing. Thus, the experience was where the inspiration came from, but afterwards, [the knowledge] has continuously been developed further.
So, when it comes to the Dharma, the Buddha said, “The one who teaches the Dharma has no Dharma to teach”. For people teaching the Dharma, there is no one fixed appearance or fixed Dharma that they can teach. As for principles, “by grasping one truth, we understand all truths”. As long as the direction is correct, we must clear our own path. I have continuously saying, when each person comprehends this path and this direction, every one of us can begin to clear a path for everyone to pave. We can pave a smooth road in the world. The goal of all this is to apply it to bringing purity to people’s hearts. This is very important.
So, if we do not apply this Dharma to our minds and in our actions, then we are just following [the ways of our] era. [Time] passed from the era of Right Dharma to Dharma-semblance and to the present era of Dharma-degeneration. If we do not put our mind into it, then everyone will be fully separated from the true principles. Likewise, when it comes to the human mind, our minds ae like a field of weeds. We do not have a direction or path to walk on. Once we have principles, [they provide a] direction. If we believe in this direction, which is to say that we are firm and have deep faith in this direction, then we ourselves must remove these weeds. By the same token, “The time and world, people and the four elements are out of balance”. This is as if our minds had already been completely covered by weeds. This is now all in chaos. We have no road, no path to walk on. We have lost our way in this environment. So, now that we know the direction, we must quickly clear the path. It is because our minds are so confused that we are in such great suffering. Now, we must follow this direction to clear a path so that we can eliminate this suffering. As we follow the rules of the path with discipline and hear [the Dharma] through our eras, we take it into our thinking, and we observe it through contemplation.
We must earnestly use profound discernment to observe the world around us. Our present world is what we must observe with profound discernment. We must be very mindful of the world’s movement and direction. So, if we can do this, then we can begin taking this Dharma-medicine. If we know this Dharma-medicine and more or less understand it, then we must utilize it ourselves and help everyone else utilize it. This is how, at the beginning, we did not know, so we were confused. But now we know, so we begin to take this medicine. This is like the Hearers and Solitary Realizers. They listened and thus knew the method. After listening and taking it to heart, they had to truly observe with profound discernment, [to see] what the era was truly like. So, this Dharma is in our mind. It has returned to us. The Buddha tells us that everyone intrinsically has Buddha-nature and that [we must] return to our Buddha-nature. Now that we rediscovered our intrinsic nature, we should work hard and be proactive at “actualizing the Six Paramitas in all actions” by going among people. “Three Vehicle practitioners uphold the Dharma and have not lost their original minds”. We now know our nature of True Suchness that we intrinsically possess. Once we awaken ourselves, we must awaken others to practice the Great Vehicle Dharma; this is called Dharma-medicine. If we can take the Dharma-medicine, we can naturally eliminate illness of our own mind and bring purity to people’s heats. This is what we must work hard toward. Therefore, we must learn the ways of the Buddha, and we must work hard. So, “Lifetime after lifetime, sentient beings have been immersed in confusion. Because the current of views is heavy with turbidities, the world is in chaos and disasters arise”.
Lifetime after lifetime, sentient beings, have been immersed in confusion. Because the current of views is heavy with turbidities, the world is in chaos and disasters arise. Thus their suffering increases with each passing day. With their compassionate vows, awakened sentient beings uphold the Dharma and go among people, urging them to take the Dharma-medicine to swiftly eliminate their suffering.
This is what things are like nowadays. People’s perspectives have gone astray, and everyone has prejudices. Because everyone’s prejudices have become so complicated, there are endless greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt. As everyone has them, this results in severe turbidity. This mindset of people truly creates very severe turbidity. So, the world experiences disasters. Just look, tangible land has been damaged. The intangible atmosphere has also been polluted. Because of global warming, natural disasters occur frequently, and when the human mind gives rise to a thought of ignorance, it results in refugees fleeing in all directions. See? Isn’t this bitter suffering? Day after day, [the numbers] keep increasing. Be it climate refugees or refugees from manmade calamities, people are in suffering! So, what we need now is “Awakened sentient beings with compassionate vows. Awakened sentient beings” are Bodhisattvas.
As Buddhist practitioners, we ourselves must awaken our intrinsic nature. While we are among people, we must become sentient beings who gain awakening through learning. We must have a compassionate heat and form great vows. With a very sincere heart, we must go among people with vows to transform all sentient beings. At the same time, we ourselves must continuously eliminate our ignorance. We must “uphold the Dharma and go among people”, and while amongst people, we ourselves must also learn the Dharma. If we do not have Dharma, how are we to go among people? So, we must “uphold the Dharma and go among people”. We need to go among people. So, we must “urge [them] to take the Dharma-medicine”. Since we already know these principles, we can introduce them to everyone so that they can earnestly take the medicine of Dharma to treat their interpersonal [problems]. This is to swiftly eliminate their suffering. [Through this], their suffering will naturally be eliminated.
Everyone, we should truly be mindful. When it comes to the Buddha’s era and the Buddha’s perspective regarding the future world, we should have faith. In this future world, we have to apply the present Dharma of the world to treat [the maladies] of the present era. So, we must be very mindful. We must uphold the Dharma and go among people. We must mutually learn from each other and introduce [the Dharma] to each other so that everyone can apply it.
The previous sutra passage says, “The father sees his sons suffering and afflicted like this. Based on the classic prescriptions, he searches for fine medicinal herbs fully replete in form, fragrance and flavor. He grinds, sifts and mixes them together and gives this to his sons to take.
Through pounding, refining and sifting, these layers of [processing] refine [the herbs] into good medicine. It turns medicinal herbs into pills and paste for everyone to use. [We] must earnestly harvest these medicinal herbs and carefully refine them so that we can apply them to what we realize about our present way of life. [We must not simply say], “Thus have I heard”. We must apply the Buddha-Dharma among people, not merely write about it or research it. This is the time for clinical [application] and for giving emergency treatment. This is not [the time] for reading books or discussing terminologies and appearances. Now is the time to [reach out] and urgently treat [the illnesses]. So, we all have our own perspectives, and we all have our own methods. We must not deviate from the source of the Dharma; if our thoughts have not deviated, then we can apply the Dharma very correctly. [The medicine] must go through grinding, sifting and pounding. It must be sifted and refined again and again. Very good medicinal herbs must go through this. [We must] not just use one type of medicine.
There are medicines from hers, wood and even stone. In the past, people spoke of ocher stone etc. Everything can be medicine! Using these things requires us to thoroughly understand their principles. Hence, once refined, they are wondrous medicine. Our current way of life requires this type of refinement. So, we must be very mindful when applying [the Dharma] to the present world and among people. Regarding the teachings we now discuss, if we were to seek other [teachings], we may think, “Why is this different?” Indeed! [They are] different! Comparing the past and present, there is difference in people’s mindset. Over time, people’s ways of life and mindset have truly changed. When utilizing the Dharma, how we should give the medicine depends upon the way of life and mindset of that era. As long as people truly change their ways, accept the concepts and spend their whole life doing good deeds, how could this be bad? This is the Dharma. So, we must mindfully seek to comprehend the true application of the Dharma. This is its essence. We must be very mindful of our thoughts and perspectives.
In following sutra passage, [the Buddha] continues “Then he says these words, ‘This is a wondrous medicine, fully replete in form, fragrance and flavor. All of you can take it to swiftly eliminate your suffering and afflictions. You will no longer suffer from these illnesses’”.
Previously, “The father saw his sons suffering and afflicted”. Therefore, he employed many methods to gather [medicine] and refine it. He refined it so that these children would be willing to accept and take it. This medicine was refined and ready for the children’s use. He instructed the children, saying, “This good medicine is also sweet, so you all must earnestly use it”. “Then naturally, your illness will be eliminated.” Being sick is great suffering. In order to eliminate this suffering, one has no choice but to take medicine. With the father’s dedication, the children were able to have faith and take [the medicine].
Then he says these words, “This is a wondrous medicine, fully replete in form, fragrance and flavor”: The Buddha-Dharma is greatly beneficial; the wonderful elixir of the wondrous Dharma is a wondrous medicine. [The Buddha] taught according to capabilities, and responded to the illnesses of the world at that time. He gave them the Dharma-medicine to eliminate people’s suffering and hardship.
The Buddha-Dharma is greatly beneficial. It is a wonderful elixir, “a wondrous medicine”. This is because the true principles are the most beneficial and unsurpassed Dharma. The principles are appropriate for humans, since humans are inseparable from the principles. This wondrous Dharma is the most excellent medicine. Be it adults or children, if they are sick, they must similarly use this medicine and in the same way be cured. So, whether young or old, the human body can take this [medicine]. In the world, there are all sorts of living beings. If anything is out of balance, the Dharma can treat it all.
This means that there is medicine that can treat it all. So, this is to “teach according to capabilities and respond to the illnesses of the world at that time”. He gave them the Dharma-medicine to eliminate people’s suffering and hardship. The Buddha [taught] for over 40 years, the majority of which He spent teaching according to capabilities. Your capabilities will determine which kind of teaching I provide you to help you eliminate afflictions and be firm in your spiritual aspirations. In the end, I will greatly spur you on so that you will go toward the path of the One Vehicle. In this way, the Buddha employed great energy and effort to teach according to capabilities. This was also how He responded to the illnesses in this era of the world. Regardless of the era we are from, people’s minds change according to the times.
Although our mindset may change, as long as there is Dharma in the world, naturally we would have the causes and conditions to accept it. For people whose perceptions, thinking and consciousness have been long lost in delusion, if they have the karmic conditions to encounter the Dharma, they will become well again. This is “giving them the Dharma-medicine to eliminate people’s suffering and hardship.” So, “All of you can take it to swiftly eliminate your suffering and afflictions. You will no longer suffer from these illnesses.”
All of you can take it to swiftly eliminate your suffering and afflictions. You will no longer suffer from these illnesses: He urges them earnestly, saying that once they know their illness and take this medicine, they will surely and quickly eliminate all the delusion, disturbances, suffering and afflictions of their body and mind. By taking this medicine, they can cure their illness and will no longer suffer from these illnesses.
Our mindset requires such medicine so that our afflictions and ignorance can be gradually eliminated. We must be mindful. So, He earnestly urged us on. “[Once] they knew their illnesses…” Because [the Buddha] knew the state of mind and mentality of sentient beings, He earnestly urged them on and taught them. He helped everyone know their illnesses and realize, “Oh, my mindset was wrong! Now that I turned my mindset around, I have no more afflictions! I am happy!”
Every day, we see the recycling Bodhisattvas. We see how the recycling Bodhisattvas do not distinguish between age or educating level. Upon hearing just one sentence, [they think], “Oh! Master puts her heart into teaching us this. If I do not use [the teaching] to change myself, then I do not do right [by her].” In “Grassroots Bodhi,” we have also seen the transformation of two Bodhisattvas. Whether they are middle-aged or elderly, seeing them truly brings me great comfort. They listen to the Dharma. Though the Dharma is so profound, every day, before sunrise, they come out to listen to [my Dharma lectures]. As I am speaking now, these two Bodhisattvas are likely listening from different Tzu Chi offices. It brings me joy just thinking about this.
In this way, the medicine accords with their capabilities, [For one of them], her life in the past was very afflicted, and she had a bad temper. Now, everyone praises and loves her. She said, “Master said, ‘I must go and love others first in order for so many people to love me.’” It was with such simple teachings that she was able to change herself and learn to treat others well, and now everyone is also nice to her. Now, she is very joyful.
In the past, whomever she met, she gave rise to ignorance. Now, whomever she sees, she [applies] the Dharma, give rise to Dharma-joy and teaches the Dharma to them. It is truly very touching. So, we must “know [our] illness and take this medicine.” Once we know what kind of illness someone has, we can use the proper medicine for them. The Lotus Sutra is suitable for all illnesses, severe or minor. Both great and limited capabilities can use it. So, we must mindfully seek to comprehend it. We listen [to the Dharma] so that we can apply it in life. We do not listen to it for the sake of some academic pursuit. It is best if we can apply it. So, “They would surely and quickly” eliminate the suffering of afflictions and ignorance. “All the delusion, disturbances, suffering and afflictions of their body and mind can be cured by taking this medicine.” So, they “no longer suffer from these illnesses”. Everyone must mindfully seek to comprehend this.
So, “Among the sons, those who have not lost their original mind see this wondrous medicine, replete with wonderful form and fragrance.” They immediately take it and their illnesses are totally eliminated and cured.”
We see that he so earnestly urged them, “You must take [this medicine]! You must utilize this Dharma. You need to take this medicine!” Finally, they are all able to accept this, [showing] that they receive the Dharma. So, “Among the sons, those who have not lost their original mind” are those who are not as sick. As soon as they hear this, they immediately obey him and take [the medicine]. Because this Dharma is so good, [they] can immediately accept it and make use of it.
Among the sons, those who have not lost their original mind see this wondrous medicine, replete with wonderful form and fragrance: Those who had not lost the teachings of the Great Vehicle that they originally had are said to “have not lose their original mind”. Hearing the Dharma is like encountering an old friend. Thus it say, “They see this wondrous medicine, replete with wonderful form and fragrance.”
“Those who had not lost the teachings of the Great Vehicle that they originally had” [realized] the True Dharma of the One Vehicle. These people were less sick and knew that they must change. Once they changed [themselves], not only would they changed themselves, they could also benefit others. Such people are those “who had not lost their original mind.” Thus, they “had not lost the teachings they originally had.” Our pure intrinsic nature of True Suchness is only momentarily lost in this world people may experience confusion. But if they listen to the Dharma and completely change themselves, not only do they transform themselves, they can also help others. Moreover, they can also help relieve everyone and transform them. This is eth Great Vehicle Dharma. People who have received the Dharma and transformed themselves are numerous. We often hear such Living Bodhisattvas, our Faith Corps members and commissioners, share. [These people] have all been transformed. All of them “have not lost their original mind”. Once they hear [the Dharma], they begin putting it to use and transforming themselves. Once their direction is set, they clear the path for themselves. These Bodhisattvas have begun practicing the Six Paramitas, and they “have not lost their virginal mind”. “Hearing the Dharma is like encountering an old friend.” When they hear the Dharma, it feels very familiar. [So, they think], “It is very suitable to me and I can use it.” [In this way], it accords with their capabilities. These are people who have not lost their original mind. [The Dharma] accords with their capability this is willing to benefit others, so once they hear this Dharma, they rejoice and begin to devote themselves.
Thus, it says, [They] see this wondrous medicine, “replete with wonderful form and fragrance.” This means that their capabilities are suitable. So, “They immediately take it and their illnesses are totally eliminated and cured.” They saw it and became joyful. “They knew the Dharma and put it into practice, so they could transcend cyclic existence.”
They immediately take it and their illnesses are totally eliminated and cured: They knew the Dharma and put it into practice, so they could transcend cyclic existence. Since they had not lost their original minds, they had the capabilities of the Three Vehicles. The medicine of the One Vehicle Dharma would eliminate and cure all their illnesses. How could its benefits be illusory and false? He just manifested as being born though He was not born.
As we already know this Dharma, we engage in spiritual practice according to it, actualizing the Six Paramitas in all actions. To us, cyclic existence is no longer a great matter, [so we think], “I have received the Dharma, so I am very joyful.” This is just as Confucius said, “If a person learned the truth in the morning, he could die in the evening without regret.” What was most important for Confucius was to receive the principles, make good use of time and just do the right thing. “They knew the Dharma and put it into practice, so they could transcend cyclic existence.” Cyclic existence is no major matter for us. Right now, we have received the Dharma. This is what is common for all life. We have comprehended the unity of all life, comprehended the great path and begun to form the supreme aspiration. “Since they had not lost their original minds, they had the capabilities of the Three Vehicles.” We have not lost our original minds. We have already gone through [the stages of] Hearers and Solitary Realizers. Hearers listen to the Dharma while Solitary Realizers profoundly discern everything in the world. So, we clearly understand all of this.
This is to have “the capabilities of the Three Vehicles.” Once we have understood the Dharma, we must go among people. Helping others is such a joyful thing. We have all been moved [by this]. So, “The medicine of the One Vehicle Dharma would eliminate and cure all their illnesses.” When we begin to apply this One Vehicle Dharma, we will eliminate all our illnesses. We are not attached to benefiting ourselves. We are not attached to the fear of repeated cyclic existence either. So, we are free of attachments. We now make vows that, lifetime after lifetime, we will deliver countless sentient beings. “There are countless sentient beings, and we vow to deliver them all.” This is because we have eliminated our afflictions. We are not attached to benefiting only the self or attached to the fear of cyclic existence. We have eliminated all these [attachments]. So, “It eliminates and cures all their illnesses. How could its benefit be illusory and false?”
Indeed! This is True Dharma. “He just manifested as being born though He was not born.” The Buddha came to this world specifically to tell us this [message]. He manifested for this lifetime and taught for one lifetime. In truth, I feel that one lifetime passes by [quickly]. Even fully dedicating our whole lives, how can we help everyone experience and know the Buddha-Dharma? [How can we help them] recognize the principles and put them into practice? This is what I wish to express. In the Buddha’s era, He revealed these truly profound principles. This was His vow for His entire life, hoping that everyone could understand these true principles.
Therefore, the true principles are truly vast. Some people’s state of mind can be decorated with beautiful words and be passed on to the future generations so that those with suitable capabilities can research and understand it. However, sometimes, such as now, we are running out of time. This is the time for emergency treatment. Now is the time for us to adjust our bodies. So, this wondrous medicine is for clinical [application] and emergency treatment. It is the greatest method. Now, time is running out, so we must seize the time and always be mindful!
