The Treatise on Response and Retribution comes from the Daoist Canon and is widely recognized as a Daoist classic. It has had a profound influence on Chinese society, especially among scholars, and was once recommended as a must-read for prime ministers. Drawing on the fundamental ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and following the teachings of the sages of old, this book offers a thorough and detailed interpretation of the Treatise on Response and Retribution. It teaches us to begin with sincerity and rectitude, make self-cultivation our foundation, and establish strong roots in virtue. It shows us how to align our actions in daily life, and even our innermost thoughts, with the teachings of the sages, following the innate virtue we already possess rather than our own habits. By accumulating blessings, we can truly benefit ourselves and others, advance ourselves and help others advance, and build a better life.
I don't recommend this book. Some of its viewpoints are too didactic and indoctrination-oriented, not about doing good, improving yourself, or benefiting the world. What is the *Di Zi Gui*? Is it a good book? In today's society, many books are toxic. While there's much to learn from this book, much of its content is too harmful.
Well said! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
