Training Theory

CHAPTER I

1  In the beginning, the great universe was a body of reality without form and creation. Ming Ming Shang Dih was its name. He (It/She) lived a happy life.

2  After a long, long time, He wanted to train Himself with sufferings for fear that the long nice life which He had lived would spoil His mind.

3  At the earliest, He created the first force of furling to stir the great universe which was full of energy. At the same time, the original vice appeared to bring Ming Ming Shang Dih the initial sorrow.

4  Then on the other side, the first force of unfurling was born to deal with the initial force of furling. Immediately, the original virtue appeared to bring Ming Ming Shang Dih the initial joy.

CHAPTER II

1  As I mentioned above, the two contrary forces would produce continuous effects which converted the formless great universe and caused small universes, stars, planets, organisms, plants, animals, and so forth to gradually appear in the world.

2  Thus all things in their own order emerged in the great universe. And there were every kind of wickedness and every kind of goodness in the world.

3  The forces of wickedness and the powers of goodness have been standing opposite each other since time immemorial. It looks like the exercises people take which are able to bring them health. When they are exercising, according to the activeness of bones and joints, every cell in their body is standing opposite to others. So the forces of wickedness and the powers of goodness could bring the great universe health. In other words, sorrows and joys could bring Ming Ming Shang Dih health.

4  Everyone needs to exercise to support their health, and so Ming Ming Shang Dih needed to change Himself, whom is a realm of non-existence, to a realm of existence to support His health.

5  But if people exercise too much, they cannot support their health, and Ming Ming Shang Dih cannot either.

6  So when it occured to Ming Ming Shang Dih that the great universe with form and creation lasts too long, He will make someone awake to Truth and lead others and everything in the world to awake to Truth too.

7  In the end everybody and everything will awake to Truth. Presently, the great universe is a realm of non-existence.

8  At this moment, Ming Ming Shang Dih is starting to take a rest.

CHAPTER III

1  When the great universe is a body of reality without form and creation, it will be  regarded as a congenital world. And when it is a realm of existence, it will be regarded as a postnatal world.

2  For the sake of health, it was necessary for Ming Ming Shang Dih to convert the congenital world into a postnatal world. And then the  postnatal world will need to be converted into a congenital world too.

3  In this way the congenital world turns into a postnatal world; then the postnatal world turns into a congenital world. The congenital world turns bake into a postnatal world; and in turn the postnatal world then returns to a congenital state. This process will continue forever.

4  Like this, it makes Ming Ming Shang Dih get a long, long life.
