sit straight do not talk amongst ourselves remain until the completion of the 3 Treasures

explanation

Safe Keeping of Heavenly Secrets

1. The contents of the Three Treasures are holy secrets (insights beyond words)

2. Any attempt to explain with human language will result in adulteration (hence the ritual)

3. Do not taking notes about the content of the 3 Treasures or discuss outside the temple (even inside without lit lamps)

What is the Tao?

(…talk about needing a path!)

a path of spiritual cultivation a path of illumination and enlightenment a direction that only God can impart (only

at due time when the person’s spirit is ready)

Meanings of Tao

the Creator of the universe (God) the unifying force that underlies all forces the ultimate principle gives rise to all

natural laws life renewing itself progress of evolution

From a Spiritual Perspective

is the totality of all the souls where we are all connected at a

fundamental level the ultimate “TRUTH” that gives rise to all

the religions unifies everything as one

1st Treasure

“Holy Gate” “Soul’s Gate” “Zen Center” not to be confused with the 3rd eye

(Single Eye or Higher Chakra) origin of consciousness

or point of awareness The metaphysic center

1st Treasure

spiritual nexus of our being

bowing shows point of awareness or “holy gate” to spirits

center of our face

believed to be where the soul/spirit resides in the body

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the Holy Gate is the doorway.

1st Treasure

IS NEVER TO BE POINTED TO OR SHOWN TO ANYONE

(safe-keeping of secrets)

The Transmission of the 1st Treasure

opens this Gate: “wisdom door” Holy path to Heaven is opened one’s spirit will be able to leave through this

gate when one leaves this world wisdom door is opened by Gee-Gong Buddha allows one to gain wisdom faster

(to serve others vs. self serving) return to the ultimate bliss of reunification

with God and of no rebirth

Christianity and our Holy Gate

The CROSS in Christianity is an indirect indication showing us the spot of the Holy Gate

• Two criminals crucified with Jesus at the place called ‘The Skull’

• One on the left and the other on the right: two minor players represent eyes as windows of soul

Jesus in the middle is the major player. (represents our gate)

Frowning or getting angry shuts Holy Gate

1. closes spiritual gateway2. cuts off soul from God 3. disconnects us from others 4. difficult to get through to a person when shut
