Guan Sheng Di said, "Man lives in the world. If he values loyalty, filial piety, honesty, and righteousness above all else, he will not fail in life. However, if he doesn't value loyalty, filial piety, honesty, and righteousness, although his body is alive, his heart is already dead. This is called stealing life. Man's heart knows the gods and the gods know man's heart. If a man is not ashamed of himself, neither are the gods. If you lie to yourself, you cheat the gods. Therefore the good man is cautious and wise, and is careful in his actions when alone. He doesn't believe that he could do evil that others couldn't see, for if he were seen doing evil, he would have regrets. The gods see every move a man makes, as if ten eyes were watching and ten hands pointing at him. He should always do his best, for it is clear that one reaps what he sows. Make not the slightest error. Lust is the beginning of all kinds of evils. Filial piety is the origin of all good deeds. Those who go against what is right must have regrets. They do not say out loud "This benefits me only." yet secretly they do only what benefits themselves. Those who do what is right have no regrets. They do not say out loud "This is to help others." and then neglect to do what benefits others. If you would follow my teachings, then try to carry my sword. This is my sword – respect Heaven and Earth, sacrifice to the gods, respect your elders, be filial to your parents, obey the law, listen to your teachers, love your brothers, be honest with your friends, put the souls of your ancestors at peace, be kind to your neighbors, understand the proper relations between husband and wife, educate your children and grandchildren, always be willing to lend money, amass merit through anonymous good deeds, help those in difficulty, have pity on the orphaned and the poor, repair temples, print religious books, donate medicines, do not kill, release captive animals, repair bridges and roads, help widows in distress, be frugal, relieve other's difficulties, do what is worthy and beautiful, teach others what is good, dispel injustice, use honest weights and measures, make friends with the virtuous, avoid the wicked, fight evil, uphold good, help the people, make your heart follow the proper path, make yourself anew, fill yourself with kindness, have no evil thoughts, do good works, and have a honest heart. Although other men may not see you do these things, the gods will quickly hear of it. They will increase your wealth, add years to your life, help your children and grandchildren, stop misfortune and disease, and prevent you from suffering disasters. Your life will be peaceful and lucky stars will shine on you.
