Worldview & Truth · Origin & Values

The essence of life is creating karma in ignorance and passively receiving its consequences. Karma brings embodiment; the body creates more karma, in an endless cycle. Cultivation means transforming this confused, deluded life into a life of vows and practice.

Only those who have fallen into the abyss can truly share others’ pain

“It makes sense,” “the only answer,” “correct”—these are all appearances. Ordinary people pursue right and wrong; great achievers pursue winning and losing. The underlying core:

Do not be trapped by emotions and desires, or by fame, gain, and public opinion;

Do not be trapped by culture and morality, or by past knowledge;

Speech that helps people and society progress is truth.

A clean soul

Impurity leads into “agitation,” attracting heaps of petty people and layers of bad fortune;

Purity leads into “you are so good,” attracting heaps of helpful people and layers of flourishing energy!

“Uprightness” is good, certainly, but if it goes “too far,” does it not become crooked?

“Goodness” is good, certainly, but if it goes “too far,” does it not become monstrous?

“Cleverness” is good, certainly, but if it goes “too far,” does it not become slippery?

“Sincerity” is good, certainly, but if it goes “too far,” does it not become foolish?

See through without disenchantment; to save the world, first enter it. Excessive uprightness becomes odd; excessive goodness becomes monstrous.

What is truth?

“It makes sense,” “the only answer,” “correct”—these are all appearances. Ordinary people pursue right and wrong; great achievers pursue winning and losing. The underlying core

Do not be trapped by emotions and desires, or by fame, gain, and public opinion;

Do not be trapped by culture and morality, or by past knowledge;

Speech that helps people and society progress is truth.

What I pursue is my family’s happiness

Not my own selfish desires

Every day is a new starting point

There must be progress, gains, and achievements

For my parents’ kindness in raising me, my partner’s kindness in recognizing me, and the support of those around me

So I must treat every day as a starting point

And make my family’s happiness my pursuit

Each of our lives is a river. We always have too many choices and attend to too many things, making our lives seem very broad. You know everything happening in the world, missing nothing. **Everyone is talking about Trump, Musk, and Bob Dylan, but many have forgotten “Who am I?”** Our lives grow increasingly shallow and lack depth.

Yet what a person pursues in life is neither length nor breadth, but precisely depth—what we actually do within our limited time, and what we bring to ourselves, our families, and this world.

First distinguish facts, explanations, and beliefs, then decide on action.

Only judgments that help people and society continually progress have practical value.

I can choose my path firmly without first judging others’ paths as lower.

I value interest, responsibility, and long-term accumulation, and choose companions by these standards. But one person values stability more, another exploration, each with conditions I have not experienced. Not understanding a choice does not prove shallowness; more complex experience does not automatically qualify me to arrange another’s life.

Working together naturally needs boundaries: agreed duties, truthful information, and acceptable methods must be clear. If conditions do not fit, we may decline cooperation. But rejecting an arrangement and judging an entire person should be separate. Principles help my decisions without becoming tools to judge everyone.

I am willing to explain why I live this way while leaving others different reasons. A conviction sustained only by looking down on others needs further testing. Accommodating different lives lets my choice stand without continually borrowing others’ supposed inferiority.
