Chinese pronounced as San-Zi-Jing san.
In this passage, the Master explains that the “Three-Word Sutra” of the Scriptures states: The original nature of human beings was inherently kind and virtuous; this nature was of the same essence as that of the gods and Buddhas. However, due to a moment of unconsciousness, karma led to reincarnation, resulting in the birth of sentient beings. At birth, human nature is very innocent and devoid of desires. Gradually, as one grows, one becomes influenced by the surrounding society, becoming engrossed in fame, wealth, and sensual pleasures, committing evil and sinful acts, thus burying one’s inherent goodness.
If people are not guided by moral teachings, how can they cultivate virtues and regain their good nature? Therefore, the Master wholeheartedly reminds everyone to remember their original inherent goodness (Awakening).
And on his path of awakening all beings, he disregards the criticisms or dislikes of others.
