Foreword

A family is the most important crystalline body of the society, the core of the nation state, and the very base to cultivate one’s dignity and influence.
The mission of a family as a whole is to communicate truth more rigorously and strictly for spiritual discipline, and to foster moral sentiment during the period of forming one’s personality. A home should be the most rigorous seminary for such disciplines and practices.
This is the genuine source of the deep and pure love of a family.

We should never forget, not even for a moment, this present time of our existence, because of the innumerable benefits conferred and embraced by the great nature, heaven and earth. This is indeed the very state of a noble and moral mind in which we should take pride; and it is the only path that lets us realize a good fortune and the true path for man.

We should never forget, not even for a moment, the fact that the spirits of our ancestors and parents, and their hearts and souls flow in our body and mind. This is indeed the very state of a noble and moral mind in which we should take pride; and it is the only path that lets us realize a good fortune and the true path for man.

We should never forget, not even for a moment, the fact that our ancestors and parents never take their eyes off of us and that they pray endlessly for our glory, happiness, and prosperity. This is indeed the very state of a noble and moral mind in which we should take pride; and it is the only path that lets us realize a good fortune and the true path for man.

The most important thing, above all, is the earnest attitude of a mind grateful for the unfathomable guidance and the mercy of heaven and earth and the ancestors.
It is as important as to decide the fate of one’s innate mind.
One should not ignore the innate mind.
One should not make the innate mind unhappy.
It is the major premise to deeply love one’s innate mind.
Indeed, this pure and earnest mind is the way to be rightly guided by the sublimity of heaven and earth and the ancestors.
It is the very person who can love their innate mind endlessly, purely, and deeply that is able to love others endlessly, purely, and deeply in the same way.

One must be aware, most importantly with a right mind, of the fact that a principle is the sublime, high and noble providence and heaven’s decree.
