Three Treasures Of I Kuan Tao

Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. I'm going to take this opportunity to thank for the graciousness God and altogether make the friendly friends with all.

Well, first of all, welcome back to our public hall for worshiping Buddha. Once again, congratulations to you. You have received Tao today.

So what is Tao?

Tao is a way, which for our spiritualities returning to heaven, being together with holy God.

The Tao we have received is the same as Jesus's.

Our spiritualities come from Heaven. Once we received Tao, our spiritualities can return to heaven in the future.One of the benefit of receiving Tao is getting the Three Treasures. It can help us returning to heaven.

What are the Three Treasures?

Our Tao Transmitting Master has just passed to us. Are you able to remember? Or if you have forgotten? It is ok! I'm going to review it now.


The First Treasure - the Mystic Portal( Heavenly Portal / Gate）

What is the Mystic Portal?

Have you heard of "seven orifices eight qiao?"

What is "seven orifices?" (Eyes have 2, Ears have 2, Nose has 2, and mouth 1, total comes to 7 of them.)

Then, where is the eight orifice(qiao)? 

That is the Mystic portal.

Where is it? 

A saying, the eye is window of the soul, then where is the door of the soul?

Does anyone know about it?

That is in between the place where the transmitting Master had initiated the point, do you still remember?

The Bible says :"This is the cross, in the cross has the true self."

That is the true meaning of the cross. 

Our spiritualities pass in and out from there.

Guan yin Bodhisattva (Goddess of Mercy) has a red mark in frontal. Because heavenly secret cannot be divulged, so the red mark is marked there(it is a hint regarding the Heavenly Gate, but the spot of the red mark is not the actual Heavenly Gate)

That is (pointing at the first treasure) the place of the gate of which our spiritualities would return to the heaven from the gate when we die.


The Second Treasure - the True Sutra (Heavenly password)

There are five words of the Sutra. Do you remember? 

Please repeat it, XXXXX.

What would be the mysterious strength of the code to Heaven?

When you are in danger, you may chant this passage of password in you heart.

Buddha will help you to avoid the disasters. 

But you can't recite the password out loud, only repeat in your heart.

If you chant it out loud, you may reveal the heavenly secret.


The Third Treasure - The Hand Seal

Do you remember how to make the hand seal?

Let's review it.

Now please hold up your both hands, put your right thumb to you right ring finger and touch X this place, and put your left thumb into the X of your right pinky, close up your fingers of your left hand and hold your right hand tight.

We may hold the hand sign for a prayer, it means that: we shall keep our pure heart as a child - simple chaste.

As the Bible says:"Return to the heaven must bosom a child". That means to hold the hand sign.

Then, let's review the Three Treasures once more.

The First Treasure -- The Mystic Portal
The Second Treasure -- The True Sutra
The Third Treasure -- The Hand Seal

At last, please keep the following matters in mind:

• The Holy Registration 
• The Holy Registration to Heaven, withdraw the name from hell, register in Heavenly Board.
• Our religious appellation is : I Kuan Tao
• There are two enlightened teachers of I Kuan Tao:
• Ji Gong Living Buddha
• Yue Hui Bodhisattva 
• We need a Transmitting Master to pass the Tao to us, because he/she has a heavenly mandate.
• The guider and the guarantor
• Everyone come to the temple receiving the Tao, must have two people to vow in front of Buddha.
• One is the guider, because of our kindness, have the foundation and Buddha affinity, so the guider introduce us to come to the temple and receiving Tao.
• The other is the guarantor, who is assuring the Tao is sacred.
• After receiving Tao, we may be separated from reincarnation, and may return to heaven, being with God.
• With the Guider and the Guarantor's guarantee, the Transmitting Master is able to transmit Tao to us.
• All of our life only receive the Tao once time. If there is other people want you to receive the Tao again, you can tell them that you already received the Tao, and don't need to receive the Tao again.
• If you have families or friends who wish to receive the Tao, you shall take them to the temple, not yourself talk out to them, or else you may considered as revealing the heavenly secret. 

So it is my explanation of the Three Treasures.  Finally, let me say congratulation to all of you again. Thank you so much!
