As a cultivator of Tao, one must first focus on the effort of achieving
virtue. At all times, maintain and nurture by reflecting with the Conscience.
Able to be mindful of the sage, promoting worthiness as high virtue.
Do not neglect the
public because of self;
Do not disregard the superior and cheat the subordinate;
Do not forget righteousness upon seeing profit;
Do not be greedy of fame and pursue fortune.
A person of virtue:
Cultivate the body to achieve virtue;
Reach righteousness to brighten virtue;
Strengthen honesty to nurture virtue;
Influence the people to convey virtue;
Attain the Truth to complete virtue.
Therefore, Tao cultivation
will not be changed because of easiness or difficulty; Tao practice will
not be changed because of glory or disgrace.
Remember, the character
of virtue cannot be not high; the nature of virtue cannot be not bright;
the determination of virtue cannot be not far; the career of virtue cannot
be not upheld.
Diligently cultivate
the virtue of the mouth to propagate for Heaven;
Diligently cultivate the virtue of the heart to achieve absoluteness from
Heaven;
Diligently cultivate the virtue of the body to practice Tao for Heaven.
Realize the determination
to arrive at virtue.
Devote a bit your heart for the great Tao society,
Contribute a part of your strength for the whole Universe.
