In the era of the Third Universal Salvation, different religions and teachings emerge, and both righteous and deviant paths prevail. It is essential to discern Dao from religions.
Seeking and cultivating Dao is the key—cultivating the heart, nurturing one’s nature, and aligning with Heaven.
The supreme method of transcendence is granted through a single-point initiation. This is an analysis of the righteous Dao and religions.
At first, many religions and teachings were established to spread scriptures; in the final stage, only the Celestial Dao completes the ultimate salvation.

What is Dao? What is a Religion?
Dao (The Way):
Dao is the fundamental essence of the universe, the origin of all existence, and the root of all religions and teachings.
Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching):
"There was something formless yet complete,
Existing before Heaven and Earth.
Silent and vast, standing alone and unchanging,
It moves in cycles without end.
It can be regarded as the mother of all things.
I do not know its name; I call it Dao."
Qing Jing Jing (Classic of Purity and Tranquility):
"The Great Dao has no form, yet it gives birth to Heaven and Earth.
The Great Dao has no emotions, yet it governs the movement of the sun and moon.
The Great Dao has no name, yet it nourishes all things.
I do not know its name, but I call it Dao."
Religion (Teaching):
A religion is the process of education and moral transformation, aiming to cultivate goodness in people. Its root is Dao.
Zhong Yong (Doctrine of the Mean):
"The decree of Heaven is called nature.
Following one’s nature is called Dao.
Cultivating Dao is called religion."
Liji – Xue Ji (Book of Rites – Records of Learning):
"Teaching is about nurturing goodness and correcting mistakes."
