謹言者，乃不輕於言也。慎行者，乃行動檢點也。因人之言語行動，每宜發而中節。若不中節，就有歧事發生。小者自身名譽糟糕，受人誣唾排斥；大者牽掣大眾，招來種種魔考，受辱受謗。 所以孔子戒人謹言曰：「君子欲訥於言。」又曰：「言未及之而言，謂之躁；言及之而不言，謂之隱；未見顏色而言，謂之瞽。」又曰：「可與言而不與之言，失人；不可與言而與之言，失言。」子貢亦曰：「一言以為知，一言以為不知。言不可不慎也。」慎行就是防非改過，莫要粗心大意，發生意外。 總之，「謹言慎行」就是叫人言語舉動，戒慎恐懼，慎微、慎獨，念念莫離的意思。故吾們...

愿者，原心也。凡是良心發現，天性中自然生成的誠懇進取心，就是「愿」。 我們修道，對於立愿之事，都很明瞭。大愿一立，馬上先天註冊，使吾們玄祖高昇，冤欠遠遁。剛才給你們道喜，就是這種意思。 既然上天對吾們如此慈悲，我們就該立愿了愿，實地進行。否則，天時一到，上天考真驗實，不但不能達到極樂，定累玄祖同墜苦海。為什麼呢？只因上天雖慈，決不佑庇陽奉陰違，似是而非之人。所以求道時立囑詞上，早就明白告訴我們說：「立愿不了，難把鄉還。」由此觀之，我們修道對立愿了愿一題，切要看重，不可輕視。

懺者，陳露也。悔者，悔改也。懺悔改過，就是自己陳訴已往的罪過，自新未來的行為，所以懺悔是我們修道人第一要素。因為素日對人處事接物，非偏即倚，造下種種罪惡，若不實心懺悔改過，怎麼成道呢？諺云：「上天沒有帶罪的仙佛，人間沒有負罪的官吏。」也就是此意。 故今生懺悔，乃為三期末劫，自己靈性出苦而懺悔，為養成潔白完人而懺悔，為玄祖超生而懺悔。懺悔之真義，希望各位萬勿疏忽。每天我們所讀的懺悔文上：「彌勒祖師，妙法無邊，護庇眾生，懺悔佛前，改過自新，同註天盤。」也是說吾們修道，茍不懺悔日新，總難達到圓滿之期望。

嗔為三毒之一，凡一切念念不平，存計較之心者，均是嗔心。我們修道，本性是活潑自然無為的。所以道與天時，隨機轉變；人性光圓洒沱，亦應隨機轉變，切莫稍遇不適心，即隨境遷，而一念嗔心，引入陰魔矣！ 像從前邱祖修道，初遇相士，說他面相最惡，將來定主餓死。但後來邱祖功行圓滿，未曾餓死，並且成了神仙。他偶而嗔心一動，高駕雲頭，尋相士質問沒有餓死之原因。經相士謂其陰隲高大，面相已轉凶為吉，才覺悟乃是自己嗔心動了。馬上靜心息念，身入山中，打坐參禪。但他嗔心既生，雖然覺悟得快，而天考不貸，終難了事，招來了種種陰魔，攪亂了他的身心。幸邱...

這一題，是末尾一題。兩天來院長和你們講的題、談的話，述古論今。都是闡明道的寶貴、道的真切，使你們各行各功，各了各愿。但進修途中，冤欠、魔考是絕對不能免的。因為修的真道，必受上天的真考。有真考方見真心。且累世冤人家的、欠人家的，豈能不還麼？ 可見真考之中，上天暗中給你們消了罪孽冤欠。所以遇著魔考，正是上天慈悲你，玉成你。切要明白此意。更可說這道題，是吾臨別一句知心話，使你心有成見，不致日後有魔考之束縛。 院長復對大眾諄諄告誡，懇摯勉勵，並賜「思母勉進曲」（調寄：落花流水）以作留念。 「好時候，像水一般不斷的流，收圓弗...

這本書是一次最上乘講義的記錄。因講率真進修，原來修真道必須切具真心，所講皆為吾人循序前行的階梯，是以取其名曰「率真進修錄」。但此書語白浅粗，文詞俚俗，恐難飽學問淵博、工於藻績者之耳目，可是現世不同，一般世人講的、說的、寫字、作的，無非白話文字，易於瞭解，若拘泥古典，亦恐難以普行。況三期末運，天道普傳，諸佛諸祖倒裝救世，也是因時設教，凡所言及記錄著作，力求其通俗普通，使人一聽即知，一見即明，期收事半功倍之效。所以筆者根據此意，亦如此記載耳，但請觀者諸君，應獨具慧眼，虛心參閱，其言近旨遠，內蘊真理，實在無窮，決非泛常書...

Chapter 2: Have You Truly Entrusted Yourself? This topic asks each of us personally: have you understood your own origin and your mission? Have you believed it? Our body, of course, was conceived from our father's essence and our mother's blood. But parents ca...

Chapter 3: The Relationship Between Dao and Human Life Dao is principle; principle is the path. All things in creation are born from Dao, and therefore all things possess their own inherent principle. Heaven has its celestial principles, earth has its terrestr...

Chapter 4: What Makes the Heavenly Dao Precious The preciousness of the Heavenly Dao lies in this: first, Dao is not lightly transmitted. Second, when receiving Dao, one must have two sponsors who serve as the Introducer and Guarantor Masters. Furthermore, bef...

Chapter 5: Why People Do Not Advance After Receiving Dao The ancient sages said: "Receiving Dao is easy, cultivating Dao is hard; cultivating Dao is easy, fulfilling Dao is hard." This saying, too, confirms the meaning of our topic. Upon careful investigation,...

Chapter 6: Is There a Distinction Between the Heavenly Dao and the Human Way? The Heavenly Dao and the Human Way are originally without any distinction whatsoever. It is only because people's vision differs — in how far it reaches and how much it encompasses —...

Chapter 9: Karma and Retribution The reason people of the world cannot refrain from all evil and practice all good is entirely because they do not understand the principle of karmic cause and effect. Confucius said: "If good is not accumulated, it is not suffi...

Chapter 10: The Origins and Resolution of Karmic Debts Whenever one takes profit without the other party's consent — through scheming and covert calculation, harming others to benefit oneself, causing people to suffer injustice they cannot clear — this is call...
