The Precious Scripture of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady: Devoted Heart, Returning to Fate, and Worship
Traveling through the heavens and the earth. Fierce lords. Above, contemplating the North Star. Below, descending upon the Nine Continents. Clad in golden armor. Holding a spear and halberd. Hanging on a golden hairpin. Eyes like bronze essence. Encountering demons, slay demons. Encountering ghosts, behead them. The decree of the Supreme Deity commands: do not linger. Mother serves the Primordial Mother of the Nine Paths, urgently as per the law’s command. Three calls.
Opening Verse
Nine Heavens, Nine Heavens. The Mysterious Lady is a true immortal. Wearing a golden helmet on her head. Treading upon a wheel of fire with her feet. Riding a phoenix amidst the clouds. Holding a precious sword to slay evil spirits. Descending to save and rescue good people from suffering. What god does not submit? What ghost does not tremble? Personally descending to rescue all beings in distress. Great compassion and great vows; great sage and great mercy.
Immortal palace and spiritual cave; manifesting in the world to save lives, mysterious pearl of wondrous path; Mysterious Lady Immortal Mother; promoting Confucianism to benefit society with great compassion respectably acknowledged by all three calls.
The True Scripture of Salvation by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady
Pure realm of the Nine Heavens; majestic immortal palace; kindness and broad love; opening heaven’s gate; pity for living beings; announcing their heavy karma leading to downfall; chaos at creation’s dawn.
The earth is hazy, spirits are mixed together; humans and beasts are not yet separated; kindness spreads like rain in law; all things begin to be born anew; establishing yin and yang from their origin; setting rules for heaven and earth’s balance: heavenly emperor, earthly emperor, human emperor family.
Eating raw flesh and drinking blood leads to many diseases with short lives; teaching them to take fire for cooked food prevents malaria or early death.
Alas! Evil gods descend frequently causing disturbance among people leading them into conflict! Immediately refine gold bricks to fill northern gaps blocking evil gods from descending into nine layers! How can this be?
Human hearts are filled with treachery—fighting for power, wealth, status leads to chaos! Treacherous villains run rampant committing violence while innocent good souls suffer calamities! Pity for living beings facing disasters! Gathering true ones in the Nine Heavens together they show compassion saving all beings.
All true ones share their hearts for salvation! Riding auspicious clouds observing all realms.
Everywhere smoke screens rise up towards heaven’s expanse! Beings create karma heavy as mountains disregarding ethics and morals—fighting for profit while forgetting duty—ungratefulness leads them astray losing their conscience being disloyal or unfilial causing calamities that cling persistently! But they must turn back seeking repentance—burn incense repenting praying to heaven—the descendants of Yan Huang take virtue as honor.
Ensnared by six desires falling into depravity—morals must be reinstated—the path shines brightly illuminating harmony! I descend into this mundane world for salvation holding a precious sword slaying evil spirits protecting loyal good men from misfortune while benevolent rulers encounter disasters—I ensure misfortunes do not approach them.
I do not protect treasonous ministers or rebellious children—they cannot escape heavenly punishment’s invasion! As sons one must honor both parents—disrespecting parents is no light crime—the ancestral teachings passed down should be followed by oneself—and future descendants should act likewise! The grace of nurturing is deep as the sea—the sin of rebellion is as great as heaven itself! When parents are ill one must personally prepare medicine.
One must also taste it before offering it before parents—not allowing oneself to undress nor leave food aside—always serving beside them at every moment if one wishes future children can be filial—they must first honor their own parents before others! Those who are unfilial must repent—it is no shame being human in this world! Do not think good or evil has no retribution—it will surely come around sooner or later.
Advise all beings: cherish grains—the grains are like milk from our primordial mother—why scatter them? Such sins are not light—you must know grains nourish life’s treasures—a meal three times daily cannot be neglected regardless if you attain immortality through elixirs without these treasures you cannot succeed—in life this cannot be lacking—for one day without food children will feel estranged.
Scattering grains is like being an unfilial child—cherishing grains is akin to honoring both parents—the bloodline throughout history relies on this nourishment otherwise how could one attain human form? Not cherishing grains will anger heaven surely leading one lacking clothing and food suffering hunger or poverty! Advise all beings respect characters—Cangjie’s contributions bring benefits like sun and moon shining through ages past
.The scriptures teach us that characters form foundations—respecting sacred words makes us human—even ignorant fools tread upon characters showing utter disrespect losing their conscience even those who have never read may still manage—but worst are scholars who trample upon written words going against heaven and earth—a crime hard to bear against heavenly kings teachers’ grace you do not fear.
Wasting life in this mortal realm reading books seeing my true scripture immediately change your ways—to avoid heavenly wrath against sages’ anger—from now on cherish words fundamentally—as heaven protects you your name shall succeed advising all beings you must protect yourselves—all evils led by lust should first abstain—to borrow falsehoods for cultivating truth—and look at ancient times till now those indulging wildly
.Life’s essence along with kingdoms may perish—the tyrant King Zhou favored Daji while feudal lords gathered destroying Shang Dynasty—even King You of Zhou was similar too—as Dong Zhuo caused Lu Bu’s demise greedily indulging harming lives hearing my true scripture requires repentance—all prohibitions regarding names incense shall follow—a single spirit’s true nature comes from primordial essence—is dynamic when moving yet tranquil when still—those who awaken cultivate nurture themselves becoming immortals Buddhas attaining truth refining true spirit towards golden palaces tasked with protecting nations aiding people while deluded individuals remain oblivious drunk on pleasures thinking wealth fame treasures are precious gems six desires seven emotions confuse true nature forgetting primordial spirit within me now pointing out paths towards enlightenment
.It lies within scriptures carefully sought after—with sincere hearts returning fate worshipping great compassion great vows great sage great mercy—the supreme utmost nine heavens mysterious lady saves suffering rescuing those in distress with immense compassion respectfully acknowledged by three calls.
