V. WHAT DO WE NEED TO RECEIVE TAO

We have discussed the many benefits we obtain after receiving Tao. Some would wonder, why there is so much given to us. Of course, we should realize it comes from God's grace toward human beings. This allows Tao to be spread around the world, especially at the approaching of the world-wide calamity. People with merit and conscientious mind will have the opportunity of learning about Tao and the way back to heaven. It always holds true that people who have the fortune of receiving Tao are derived from the tree of righteous ancestors.
In addition, during the passage of Tao, it is require d that we make promises to God that:

A. After we receive Tao, we will keep in mind the true meaning of Tao and put it into action in our daily life. What we speak and what we do will all be based on our conscience.

B. After we receive Tao, we offer help to those in need of it, and do our best to indicate Tao to more people so that they can all benefit from the grace of God.

C. After we attain the Three Treasures, we promise not to tell them to any other person. The Three Treasures can only be transmitted through authorized masters in front of God. If we reveal them to any person, they become invalid to the person, and we also defy the Heavenly Decree.
All the promises required are reasonable and achievable. It goes with our nature. If we practice and keep the promises, we will be able to become a wiser and a better person. We will become merciful and nurture the seed of Tao planted in our mind.
One last thing to mention is that one of the reasons we are able to receive Tao is due to the good deeds of our ancestors. Therefore, as we persistently practice Tao, our ancestors will also benefit from it and so will our descendants. As long as you are prepared for the above mentioned, you are qualified to receive Tao, no matter what nationality, race, or religion you belong to.

Notes:

In order to be exempted from the rebirth cycles, to avoid the ordeal of hell, to alleviate the suffering and misfortunes in our lives, and to be able to return back to heaven after death and enjoy
permanent happiness, we have to receive Tao. And the general qualifications are:

1. To be with a compassionate heart, and to be fortunate enough to be born in a time when Tao is available to the public.

2. To have sowed the seeds of virtue by help many people and offering lots of charitable services in the previous lives. This is the divine affinity with God.

3. To have ancestor with beneficences and welfare work as well.

4. To meet the Introducer and Guarantor who indicate the way to attain Tao to me. It is very likely that in the previous lives, we did charitable services together, or we self-cultivated together in the same religion. So, in this life, when Tao is available, we can help each other out and practice Tao together again. So time is ripe for Tao due to our divine affinity.
