The Ultimate Meaning of 
15 Buddha Conducts

By Holy Teacher

Due to the Grace of Heaven and Buddha’s mercy, these Holy scriptures were made available to help us better understand the true meaning of the 15 Buddha Conducts.

6. HIGHLY REGARD THE HEAVENLY WORK OVER MUNDANE


Regardless of whether the things that your do are Tao related, divine related, or any other matter, if the focus is on sentient beings and is in consideration of others then it is highly regarded as the heavenly work. On the other hand, if your main focus is on your personal situation and you only emphasize your own well-being, this is dwelling on the mundane. Therefore, all acts that benefit sentient beings are considered heavenly work. Those who place a priority on heavenly work are indeed regarding heavenly work over the mundane. Therefore, a Tao cultivator, who highly regards heavenly work over the mundane, will not focus on themselves and how others treat them. They will not be concerned about being respected, liked, or supported. His mind, his heart, his thinking and his actions will always place a priority on the needs of others and will work to benefit all sentient beings. 

What is true Heavenly work? Disciples, let me ask you this:  In this universe, other than the Tao being real and the spirit being real, what else can last forever and will never change? Assisting sentient beings in walking the path of liberation, cultivating their True Self and manifesting the Tao within them, is truly emphasizing heavenly work over the mundane.

Only by going through self-transformation to diminish human desires and by awakening one’s self-consciousness, can one truly say that an emphasis is being placed on the heavenly work over the mundane. How are we able to emphasize heavenly work and overcome mundane temptations if desires continue to arise because of our ego, ignorance and confusion? Shouldn’t you think seriously on these questions my disciples?    
                   
The ultimate goal of cultivating and propagating the Tao is to let go of the ego and return to the pure heart. My disciples, in the process of cultivating your heart and giving your best effort in propagation of the Tao, if you do not have the upmost sincerity, if you complain and if you are unable to express the Buddha Nature, how can you say that you highly regard the heavenly work over the mundane?
