Being human: the four livelihoods, humility, room

How to be human

做人

Site illustration — not an original work by Zhang Guosong

Do not ask the unseen for help; do not take a religion; do not worship gods; judge with your own wisdom. True cultivation is work: the four livelihoods, repairing society — the third realm. Spreading this is a war with no leader; each person is their own.

From the Association’s About page and Life Dictionary, Society (“the secret of succeeding as a person”) and Controversy 6. The Association is a source credit, not a membership gate.

No unseen help

Do not ask the unseen for help; do not take a religion; do not worship gods; judge with your own wisdom.

Cultivation is work

Duty and the four livelihoods, repairing society — the third realm where humans live. Not turning a map into a faith.

No leader

Spreading this is a war with no leader; each person is their own. This layer does not install a founder-priest, issue certificates, or run an exam.

既然能「出生當人」,就要有所認知—必須承擔付出勞力整修民間、當工具的職責,就是要接受民間社會「士、農、工、商」的基業修行責任法。人與人之間的互相接觸,確實要學會「謙虛與包容」的心態去和人相處。我就是悟通之後,以『得理要饒人、理直要氣和』的方式去待人。

Born human, take on labour to repair the folk world; meet people with humility and room.

既然敢投胎出生當「人類」,就要認知在民間該做些什麼事?就是要付出民間社會「士、農、工、商」的基業修行責任—這也是「人類承擔付出勞力整修民間當工具」的事實;此因就是我們「人類屬於萬物之主」,只有人類的『智慧與靈活軀體』才可執行整修民間的工作。

Scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant: the human job of repairing the folk world — not homework for a church.

「正常人類」是指:『不求無形相助、不信仰宗教、不拜神、凡事靠自己智慧判斷』而做處事;真正的修行,就是工作-用本分職責及士農工商整修社會-才是真正的人生成績。字典另寫所謂『正常人』:不信教、不拜拜、不信神、不求無形相助、更不需要心靈寄託、凡事靠自己判斷處理。

No unseen help, no religion, no gods; the score is work.

推廣人生真相,是一場沒有領袖的戰爭。協會寫的是工作與自判,不是另立教主。詳情以協會原文為準。

No leader in the promotion; the Association writes work and self-judgment, not a cult founder.

Finish tonight and close the book. Cultivation is still the four livelihoods, not turning a map into a faith.
