The Divine Revelation of Grand Duke Jiang: Master’s Teachings—Give the Credit and Take the Blame
Date Published: 2014-9-13
On August 31, 2014, Grand Duke Jiang delivered a divine revelation:
Master’s Teachings①——Give the credit and take the blame.
Interpretation and guidance of the cosmic message:
Be unyielding towards self-discipline and even more so, turn to the virtuous way of giving the credit and taking the blame to overcome the ego that creates obstacles for oneself.
Giving the credit and taking the blame is the approach of one with great wisdom who appears to be unknowing, strives for reality that corresponds to the name②, and upholds righteousness.
Taking all the credit and none of the blame is the approach of an ignorant fool who strives in vain③ for undeserved reputation, and fails to live up to being grateful and righteous.
Notes:
①Master’s Teachings: Grand Master’s teachings to the students, from which students gain understanding to enhance their spiritual apprehension.
②Reality that corresponds to the name：
- Dictionary Definition: Seek for reality that corresponds to one’s reputation, so as to be worthy of the name.
- Interpretation of the cosmic message: Seek according to the Way of Dao and seek truth from facts in one’s approach.
③ Strives in vain: a complete waste of energy.
