However, those are just the Visible Tao of Humanity. If you only consider those, it cannot be perfect.

In the Secular Tao, it is divided into two religious principles: The Material Dharma of Secular Tao and Secret Dharma of Secular Tao. Three Fundamental Relationships and Three Subjections, Four Virtues are the one as a foundation for Material Dharma of Secular Tao only, take that as true subject to carry out. Now, if wishing to keep Three Fundamental Relationships, what must you do?

- King - People: the king is the one guiding people. Therefore, that obligation must be founded depending on the foundation to help people avoid sufferings. That is the work of Charity Agency. People must show the faithfulness to both help the king and make all other people live and work in peace and contentment, it means to the obligation of Holy Body.

 That is about the Material Dharma of Secular Tao. The aspect of Secret of Secular Tao is the method to find the way of direction to complete the Three Fundamental Relationships, Five Cardinal Virtues, it means to complete the aspect of Human Tao. That must be the result from the Material Dharma.

 In general, about the Secret Dharma of Secular Tao, it means to the method of helping the world be leisured in Morality.

 About Three Subjections and Four Virtues of womankind:

 * Follow Father: the woman must keep virginity as the disciple keep good repute of Religion fully.

In detail way, that is the method of helping the world become perfectly good and beautiful. According to philosophy of humanity, the Secret Dharma is a plan to raise the life in Humanity.

 Have your understood clearly yet? Next séance, Ban Dao will teach the Heavenly Tao.

 Ban Dao say good-bye.

 Ban Dao/greet you.

Ban Dao explain the Religious Principle more: - How must a man complete the Tao of Humanity?

The Moral Tao requires having Three Fundamental Relationship and Five Cardinal Virtues enough because those are the basic of Tao of Morality.

The Moral Tao contains the Tao of Humanity and Heavenly Tao. You have understood the Tao of Humanity. For the Heavenly Tao, you will teach in next séance.

Therefore, the part of Moral Tao has been taught a half. You must need remember those carefully in order to avoid the difficulty in learning the part of Heavenly Tao.

As you have understood thoroughly, there is no difficulty. The necessity is to have to carry out according to Tao of Humanity so that you can go over the Heavenly Tao.

Consequently, you try to fulfill your mission, it means that you complete your Tao of Humanity. The foremost necessity is to have to keep your belief fully in order to complete in the Religious door.

Ban Dao say good-bye.
