求道因緣 This happed in America in 1996. There was a pastor who after receiving TAO, related to us the process by which he came to receive it. 這是發生在西元1996年,美國一位神父求道的過程。
Slide 3
夢見天使 One night, he had a dream. In the dream, he saw an Angel. The Angel had Oriental features and was holding a fan in this hand. 有一天夜裡,神父在夢中看到一位天使,手中拿著扇子,臉
Slide 4
天使的指點 The Angel said to the pastor “Tomorrow a man will come and bring you to receive the TAO. You must go with him. Only then can you transcend the cycle of life and death and return to the Kingdom of Heaven.” 天使對神父說:「明天會有一個人來帶你去求道,你要跟他
Slide 5
求道才能回天堂 The pastor rebutted “I am a Holy man. I love God, and God loves me. After I pass away, God will take me up to Heaven.” 神父說:「我是一位神職人員,我愛上帝,上帝愛我,我死
Slide 6
什麼是道 The pastor then asked, “ What is TAO?” The Angel answered, “Let me use a simple sheet of paper to explain TAO to you. Let us assume that this paper encompasses Genesis and the whole Universe. The upper face represents Heaven and the page facing down words represents the mortal world. The mundane mortal world is the place where living beings (worldly mortals) reside, so how do we find a way that can lead us from this world back to Heaven. 神父問:「什麼是道?」天使回答:「我用一張紙來解釋道
Slide 7
末後法船 The Angel then folded the sheet of paper into the shape of a ship, and asked the pastor, What does this look like? The pastor answered, “I do not know.” 天使把紙摺成一船形。問神父:「這像什麼?神父說:我不
Slide 8
諾亞方舟 The Angel then continued. It is recorded in the Old Testament that Noah was a God fearing righteous man. There was a to be a great catastrophe then, and God instructed Noah to build an Ark (a square boat ) to save humankind. This shape represents Noah’s square Ark. 天使說:「聖經有記載,諾亞是上帝的義人,時有劫難。上
Slide 9
方舟在那裡 The pastor nodded his head in agreement. The Angel asked, “Do you know where you can find this Ark?” The pastor replied, “In church.” The Angel said : “No, not in church.” 神父點頭同意。天使問:「你知道要去那裡才能找到這一方
Slide 10
道降火宅 The Angel folded the paper into a second shape and subsequently asked “What does this look like?” The pastor shook his head, expressing ignorance. The Angel prompted, “Does this not look like a house?” The pastor nodded and said “Yes.” 天使將紙摺成一種形狀問神父:「這像什麼?」神父搖頭表
Slide 11
百姓的家才能找到 The Angel disclosed, “In the Bible, it is said that, As the Son of Man comes, he will knock on the doors of the common peoples’ houses. He will not knock on the doors of churches nor of temples. If one wants to find this Ark (meaning to receive the TAO) one must go and search for it in the houses of common folks, for that is where Holy houses are situated. 天使說:「在聖經有說:人子來時,人子會挨家挨戶去敲門
Slide 12
善惡分班 The Angel folded the paper another way and asked the pastor again. “What does this mean?” The pastor replied, “ I do not know.” The Angel then enlightened, “That good men live in houses, but evil men live in houses too. Implying that this is the time of segregation of good and evil. 天使再摺一次紙,再問神父:「這是什麼意思?神父回答說
Slide 13
女童的比喻 Mathew 25:1-13 Then shall the Kingdom of Heaven be likened unto ten virgins. Who took their lamps and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 馬太福音 25:1-23有十個女童的比喻。那時天國好比十個女童
Slide 14
天國的比喻 The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But which he and his men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 天國好像人撒好種子在田裡。但在他們睡覺的時候,有仇敵
Slide 15
麥子與椑子 But which the blades were sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 到長苗吐穗的時候,椑子也顯出來。 (註: 聖經中seed種子為麥子代表好人, tear椑子為莠草代表壞人) So the servants of the householder (landowner) came and said unto him, “Sir, did you not sow good seeds in your field? From whence then hath it tares?” 田主的僕人來告訴他說:「主啊!你不是撒好種子在田裡嗎
Slide 16
仇敵的傑作 He said unto them, “An enemy has done this.” The servants said unto him, “Do you want us to go and gather them up?” The landowner replied, “No, lest while you gather up the tares, you also root up the wheat with them.” 主人說:「這是仇敵做的。僕人說:你要我們去將椑子拔起
Slide 17
收割的時候 Let both grow together until the harvest. And in the time of the harvest, I will say to the reapers, “Gather up first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” 讓這兩種一起成長,等著收割。到收割的時候,我要對收割
Slide 18
第三天啟示錄The Angel now folded the sheet of paper into three parts and asked the pastor ,“Do you know what this now represents?” 天使再把紙摺三次, 又問:「神父,你知道這是代表什麼嗎? 第三天:啟示錄(白陽期) 第二天:新約 (紅陽期) 第一天:舊約 (青陽期) (中間紅色垂直虛線處剪開)
Slide 19
第三天復活 The pastor shook his head and said, “No.” The Angel continued, “It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus said, “After I die, I will resurrect on the third day.” This is the first day, the second day and the third day.” 神父搖搖頭說:「不知道。」 天使說:「聖經裡耶穌說,我死後三天復活,這就是第一天
Slide 20
耶穌復活 (Mary Magdalene 16:9-15) When Jesus Christ was risen, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Jesus wanted Mary to relate his miraculous resurrection to his disciples, she did , but the disciples did not believe ( 馬可福音16:9-15)MARY MAGDALENE (瑪莉亞親自見到耶穌復活)
Slide 21
三天的含意 The fist day represents the Old Testament. The second day represents the New Testament. (第一天)---代表舊約 (第二天)---代表新約 The third day represents the Book of Revelations. It tells us the secret of Heaven and the Coming of the Son of Man. (第三天)---代表啟示錄,講天的奧秘,人子(原佛子
Slide 22
無法了解天國奧秘的原因 People nowadays are entrenched in religious concepts and thoughts, thus they remain in the era depicted by the first and second day. As a result they can not understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven designed for this time (third day). 我們現代人停留在宗教觀念和思想,亦停留在第一天、第二
Slide 23
先屏除我執我見 The Angel then asked the pastor. “Do you want to know the Heavenly secrets?” The pastor answered, “Yes I do.” 天使問神父:你想不想知道天國的奧秘?神父說:「是的,
Slide 24
停留在此的原因 Think about it. Are we not still stuck with the practices of the first and second day. The reason why we are still here (dwelling in the past) is because we do not know the secrets of Heaven. 想一想,我們是不是停留在第一天與第二天(舊約新約中)
Slide 25
正義的人就是得道的人 We all know that God is Love and that God loves The Righteous. The Righteous means people who have received TAO. 我們都知道上帝就是『愛』,排愛字(LOVE).上帝愛
Slide 26
罪 Because Man has sinned, therefore we cannot board the Ark and return to Heaven. If this is so, then where do we go? Where do we belong to? 因為世人有罪 (排「罪」字) 就不能進入方舟,回天堂。那這樣子,要去哪裡?歸回哪裡
Slide 27
HELL地獄 If we cannot ascend to Heaven, then we must be heading down to Hell. Hell implies death, and death means no Eternal Life. We cannot and will not find “Eternity” within the context of the first nor second day for the Chinese character of Eternity (永) less one point infers that there will not be Eternal Life(永生) 如果我們不能回天堂,一定是去「地獄」,下地獄HELL
Slide 28
永生那裡找 If we cannot ascend to Heaven, then we must be heading down to Hell. Hell implies death, and death means no Eternal Life. We cannot and will not find “Eternity” within the context of the first nor second day for the Chinese character of Eternity (永) less one point infers that there will not be Eternal Life(永生) 如果我們不能回天堂,一定是去「地獄」,下地獄HELL
Slide 29
永生 (剪斷上方紅色虛線 ) So, how do we find Eternity? We must first rid ourselves of our self-opinions and self-perceptions. Then in receiving the “One point” from the “Third day” and placing it onto the surface of the water(水). We will derive the word (永), which means Eternity or Eternal Life. 我們要如何才能找到永生呢?「必須屏棄我見我執。」我們
Slide 30
天堂之門 (打開第一天可得!) Do we not want to know the secret of Heaven? 我們不是想知道天國的奧秘嗎?「是的。」 The Angel then took the paper symbolizing the third day and said, “This is the secret of Heaven.” But before unfolding the paper, the Angel added,” Jesus said: You must take up your cross and follow me, then you will go back to Heaven.” 天使就拿象徵第三天的紙說:「這就是天國的奧秘。」在打
Slide 31
永生的那門是窄的 (Matthew 7:13-14) Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many be they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate and straightened is the way that leads to life, and few be they that find it. (馬太福音7:13-14) 你們要進窄門,因為引到死亡的那門是寬的,路是大的,進
Slide 32
靈魂之窗 (Matthew 7:22-23) The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye be single, your whole body shell be full of light. But if your eye is evil, your whole body shell be full of darkness. If the light that is in your be darkness, then how great is the darkness? (馬太福音7:22-23) 眼睛就是身上的燈,你的眼睛若是瞭亮,全身就光明;你的
Slide 33
聖靈與火的施洗 We shall now unravel the Heavenly Secret (Matthew 3:11-12) 現在我們就來解開天國的奧秘 (馬太福音3:11-12) I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but who comes after me is mightier than I. Whose shoes I am not worthy to bear. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. 我是用「水」來給你們施洗,叫你們悔改,但那在我以後來
Slide 34
善惡分班 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his threshing floor, and gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. 他手裡拿著「扇子」他要揚淨它的打榖場,把麥子收到榖倉
Slide 35
圣(聖)火 The Chinese character of Spirit ( 圣 ) when less one line, has to be made good from the Cross (+) of this the third day ( 3th period). This symbolist the lighting of the Spiritual Lamp (Enlightenment) (排「圣」與「火」)圣(?)字少一點,要從第三天的十
Slide 36
道在東方 Western words are written from left to right, Chinese characters are usually written in a descending manner. The basis of western teaching predominantly revolves around the Bible. TAO originates from the East and is propagated to the West attesting to and verifying the testimonies. 西方的字是由左而右,中國字由上而下;西方有聖經作基礎
Slide 37
神父要去求道 The Angel asked the pastor,” Do you understand TAO now?” The pastor answered, “Yes, I do.” And joyously declared to the Angel, “I want to receive the TAO.” 天使問神父:「現在你明白道了嗎?」 神父說:「是,我知道了。」而神父非常高興地向天使說:
Slide 38
打電話渡他求道 When he awoke the next morning, the pastor tasked himself to jot down all that had happened in his dream. From the beginning till the end of the dream, he wrote everything down every. In the midst of recalling and writing, the telephone rang. It was a friend of his who was calling to ask him to receive TAO. 第二天醒來,神父把夢中的一切從頭到尾,很清楚地寫下來
