What is Dao? This is a common question from those who never heard of it. They think it is some kind of religion. Of course, what they see are the forms, and on first appearance Dao does look like a religion.
Dao is actually difficult to describe, because it encompasses all phenomena and empty space.
We cannot fully describe the essence, but a characteristic is that it has infinite potential energy with an awareness or consciousness which is capable of initiating any action.
It is both stillness and motion.
E=mc2 and particle-wave duality is a reflection of a characteristic of Dao.
Dao is all pervading

Dao is not ascetic or other extreme practices (cf. Buddha)
In the Diamond Sutra, Buddha demonstrated without words that Dao is normal (the 4 “normals”) and in everyday life.
KNOW THE DAO
“Receive” Dao
Recognize that Dao is within us (know thyself)
Open our wisdom eye
Open the door to transcend the cycle of life and death

My “epiphany”

A pastor receives Dao
There are several accounts of this. Apparently, this happened in 1996 in LA.
One account says an angel appeared to him and another says it was a Holy Spirit.
One night, he had a dream. In the dream, he saw an Angel. The Angel had Oriental features and was holding a fan in his hand.
The Angel said to the pastor “Tomorrow a man will come and bring you to receive the TAO. You must go with him. Only then can you transcend the cycle of life and death and return to the Kingdom of Heaven.”
The pastor rebutted, “I am a Holy man. I love God, and God loves me. After I pass away, God will take me up to Heaven.” The Angel answered, “It is not what you think. You must receive TAO, fulfill God’s will, perform God’s righteousness. Only when you are a recognized servant of God, can you then return to Heaven.”
The pastor then asked, “What is TAO?” The Angel answered, “Let me use a simple sheet of paper to explain TAO to you. Let us assume that this paper encompasses Genesis and the whole Universe. The upper face represents Heaven and the page facing downwards represents the mortal world. The mundane mortal world is the place where living beings (worldly mortals) reside, so how do we find a way that can lead us from this world back to Heaven.
The Angel then folded the sheet of paper into the shape of a ship, and asked the pastor, “What does this look like?” The pastor answered, “I do not know.”
The Angel then continued: “It is recorded in the Old Testament that Noah was a God fearing righteous man. There was to be a great catastrophe then, and God instructed Noah to build an Ark (a square boat) to save humankind. This shape represents Noah’s square Ark.”
The pastor nodded his head in agreement. The Angel asked, “Do you know where you can find this Ark?” The pastor replied, “In church.” The Angel said, “No, not in church.”
The Angel folded the paper into a second shape and subsequently asked, “What does this look like?” The pastor shook his head, expressing ignorance. The Angel prompted, “Does this not look like a house?” The pastor nodded and said, “Yes.”
Revelation 3:20 KJV
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
So the ark of salvation is found in the holy houses of Dao. Most of our temples (holy houses) are in people’s homes.
Happy Buddha Precious Temple is on the second floor of the building, entrance door is on the right.
The Angel folded the paper another way and asked the pastor again. “What does this mean?” The pastor replied, “I do not know.” The Angel then enlightened him, “Good men live in houses, but evil men live in houses, too. This implies that this is the time of segregation of good and evil.”
The Angel now folded the sheet of paper into three parts and asked the pastor, “Do you know what this now represents?”
The pastor shook his head and said, “No.” The Angel continued, “It is recorded in the Bible that Jesus said, “After I die, I will resurrect on the third day.” This is the first day, the second day and the third day.”
(Mary Magdalene 16:9-15) When Jesus Christ was risen, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene. Jesus wanted Mary to relate his miraculous resurrection to his disciples, she did, but the disciples did not believe.
The fist day represents the Old Testament. The second day represents the New Testament.
The third day represents the Book of Revelation. It tells us the secret of Heaven and the Second Coming of the Son of Man.
People nowadays are entrenched in religious concepts and thoughts, thus they remain in the era depicted by the first and second day. As a result they can not understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven designed for this time (third day).
The Angel then asked the pastor. “Do you want to know the Heavenly secrets?” The pastor answered, “Yes I do.” However if one wants to know, one has to first rid oneself of self-opinion, self-perception and one’s rigid obstinacy for religions.
Think about it. Are we not still stuck with the practices of the first and second days? The reason why we are still here (dwelling in the past) is because we do not know the secrets of Heaven.
We all know that God is Love and that God loves The Righteous. The Righteous means people who have received TAO. Noah was a righteous person of God. He demonstrated God’s righteousness, thus he could enter the Ark and be saved.

Because Man has sinned, therefore we cannot board the Ark and return to Heaven. If this is so, then where do we go? Where do we belong to?
The Chinese character is made of two characters: four and not
It means that we must abide by the four not-to-dos: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, do no evil
If we cannot ascend to Heaven, then we must be heading down to Hell. Hell implies death, and death means no Eternal Life. We cannot and will not find “Eternity” within the context of the first nor second days for the Chinese character of Eternity (永) less one point infers that there will not be Eternal Life (永生).

Without the key to Heaven, we cannot go there even if we do good deeds.

From the pieces of paper representing the first and second days, we cannot completely form the word for eternal life.
So, how do we find Eternity? We must first rid ourselves of our self-opinions and self-perceptions. Then in receiving the “One point” from the “Third day” and placing it onto the surface of the water (水). We will derive the word (永), which means Eternity or Eternal Life
To receive Dao and attain eternal life, we must get the point transmission from the third day (white period).
Only in the White period is Dao available to anyone with the affinity to receive it. That’s why Dao is so precious today.
We shouldn’t miss this opportunity to attain eternal life.
Do we not want to know the secret of Heaven? The Angel then took the paper symbolizing the third day and said, “This is the secret of Heaven.” But before unfolding the paper, the Angel added, “Jesus said: You must take up your cross and follow me, only then can you go back to Heaven.”
