向 外：
若你真正明白如何準備祖師的聖壽日供品，自然就能高效完成每一項任務。甚至一人便能扛起大局，做到「一夫當關，萬夫莫敵」的境界。雖然忙碌一天，卻能在心中感到無比踏實與成就。
金闕神職人員，與其他宮廟的神職大不相同。金闕內圍的將門弟子，從來都勇於承擔責任，更樂於投入時間與心力去解開困難，無怨無悔地為善信服務。你們的責任，不只是實務的操持，更是承接無形的指引與默契。祖師在冥冥之中，會感應你們應當完成的事，而當你們順著祖師的指引來走，常常就能事半功倍，一切皆順。
多用心去感受祖師給你們的啟示——那是來自無形師道的靈感。
用心為師辦事，便是在替自己消解因果罪債。你願意投入多少，天地都看得見；你願意持續燒金化銀、助化無形，這一切都會化為順遂人生的積善之資。
多年以來，金闕祖師靈感顯化、真切不虛，讓你們深信不疑。所以引導信師之門生走在正道之上，是你們的使命與榮光。
最可怕的是——明明自己犯錯，卻還硬拗自己沒錯。修行之路，沒有誰能替你背負，只有良知能讓你醒悟。人皆有因果，但若在修行中「明知故犯」，那麼無形的懲罰與業力折磨絕對存在，只是你未能察覺而已。
祖師的法門其實很簡單：尊天、崇地、明因果、燒金化銀解罪債。
這就是金闕道法的核心！
向 內：
《玉皇真經》第一品即是：「懺悔前愆」。修行者若熟讀玉皇真經，在東嶽祖師聖壽日前夕，更應反覆誦讀第一品，反觀自己，誠心懺悔。
別人指出你的錯誤，若你不但不思悔改，反而變本加厲，那麼一切便無可救藥，只能靜待因果罪債的反撲。
若你讀至第二品：「延壽錫福」，而內心也確實感受到祖師賜予的福澤與健康，那麼更應以身作則，成為祖師法門的好榜樣，替天地認真拼命。
天律自有法度，不會因誰的地位、誰的辯才而偏私。
東嶽祖師在此也告誡金闕弟子：
「萬般帶不走，唯有業隨身。」
所以——
走穩自己的道，守好自己的位，盡好自己該盡的職責；
誠心奉天，遵天守道；
如此，方可成為祖師真正所用之人。
叩主隆恩

Heavenly Mandate, Yisi Year, 26th Day of the Third Lunar Month – Reflection
Outward:
If you truly understand how to prepare offerings for Dong Yueh Zushi‘s Sacred Birthday, you will naturally complete each task efficiently. Even a single individual can shoulder significant responsibilities, embodying the spirit of “one person holding the pass, ten thousand unable to pass.” Though the day may be busy, it brings a profound sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
The clergy of CCG temple differ greatly from those of other temples. The inner disciples of CCG temple have always been willing to take responsibility and are eager to invest time and effort to resolve challenges, serving devotees selflessly. Your duties extend beyond practical tasks; they also involve receiving intangible guidance and understanding. Zushi, in the unseen realm, will inspire you with the tasks you should undertake. When you follow the Zushi’s guidance, you often achieve twice the result with half the effort, and everything proceeds smoothly.
Be attentive to the inspirations Zushi provides you—these are insights from the intangible teachings of the Master.
Diligently working for the Master also serves to resolve your karmic debts. The more you are willing to invest, the more Heaven and Earth observe; your continued burning of gold and silver offerings and assistance in the intangible realm all contribute to a smoother life, accumulating merits.
Over the years, CCG Zushi has manifested spiritual responses that are genuine and undeniable, strengthening your unwavering faith. Therefore, guiding fellow disciples who believe in the Master to walk the righteous path is both your mission and honor.
The most concerning issue is when one clearly makes mistakes yet stubbornly refuses to admit them. On the path of cultivation, no one can bear your burdens for you; only your conscience can awaken you. Everyone has karma, but if you knowingly commit wrongs during cultivation, then intangible punishments and karmic sufferings undoubtedly exist, even if you are unaware.
The Patriarch’s teachings are, in fact, straightforward: revere Heaven, honor God of Earth, understand cause and effect, and burn gold and silver offerings to resolve karmic debts.
This is the essence of CCG Zushi‘s teachings!
Inward:
The first chapter of the “Scripture of the Jade Emperor” is “Repentance for Past Offenses.” Practitioners who are well-versed in this scripture should, on the eve of the Dong Yueh Zushi’s Sacred Birthday, repeatedly recite the first chapter, introspect, and sincerely repent.
If others point out your mistakes and you not only fail to repent but become even more egregious, then all hope is lost, and you can only await the retribution of karmic debts.
If you read the second chapter, “Prolonging Life and Bestowing Blessings,” and genuinely feel the blessings and health granted by Zushi, then you should set an example, becoming a role model of the Zushi‘s teachings, earnestly striving for Heaven and Earth.
Heaven’s laws have their own standards and will not show favoritism due to anyone’s status or eloquence.
Here, Dong Yueh Zushi also admonishes the disciples of CCG temple:
“All things cannot be taken with you; only karma follows you.”
Therefore—
Walk your path steadily, guard your position diligently, and fulfill your responsibilities;
Sincerely serve Heaven, abide by the Heavenly Way;
Only then can you truly become someone that Zushi can utilize.
