About the Holy Setting in the Heavenly Way (Tao) Temple
The Heavenly Way (Tao) differs from a religion in that the Tao (Truth) is the root of all holy teachings while religions are branches of the tree that grew from the root. Tao (Truth) is our conscience, true nature, and real self. Receiving the Tao (Truth) is not accepting a new belief or religion but realization of our true self as we engage in the worship of God through our religions.
With this realization of our true self, we become stronger in our love for God. A spiritual temple is a House of God. It is a place where we honor God through sacred ceremonies. In the Heavenly Way (Tao) Temple, holy functions such as Receiving the Tao (Baptize with Holy Spirit and with fire), repentance, and praying are conducted under the Holy Spirit in the highest respect to God. As in any temple of worship, the Heavenly Way Temple has specific holy settings pertaining to the devotion of God. These holy settings provide for the fundamental sacred environment to facilitate our worship of God and allow for the divine spirits to easily flow through the temple. |
Descriptions of the holy settings in the Heavenly Way Temple are summarized below:
The Photos on the Wall in the Main Temple
The pictures are our holy teachers the Great Patriarch Tien-Ran Zhang and the Great Mistress Hui-Ming Sun. They were the last patriarchs who made the Tao available to the people in China. Their propagation of the Tao in China eventually created
the establishment of Tao teachings in Taiwan and worldwide after 1949.
Great Master Tien-Ran Zhang was the reincarnated from Buddha Ji-Gong and Great Mistress Hui-Ming Sun was the reincarnated from Bodhisattva Yueh Hui. Both of the holy teachers overcame multiple challenges to propagate the Tao and endured many suffering and difficulties during the mission.
