一贯道...

我的佛堂简介:

何謂一貫道？

一贯道者：其意甚深，其理至妙；简而言之，“一”即是无极之真，先天之妙，至神至明，亦名

之曰“理”。“贯”即贯彻一切之意，由无贯有，由始贯终之无极至理。因此理贯彻天地万物，

而天地万物各具此理，故曰“一贯”。所谓“道”者，路也。亦即理也。万事万物莫不有是路，

亦莫不有是理。合乎理者，即合乎道。违于理者，必背乎道。故一贯道者，合而言之，则是贯彻

天地万物万事万类之无极真理。亦即是贯通天地古今中外，普救众生之光明大道。行于大道，则

能返还至善。行于邪途，则必沦堕重劫。总之，天地万物，未有出乎一贯之道者。故孔子曰：

“谁能出不由户，何莫由斯也？”

一贯道的道统源流，可以说是渊远流长。如果以道的本体上而言，实无法以语言文字思虑来探测

祂的源流，诚如朱子《中庸章句注》所说：“道之本原出于天而不可易，其实体备于己而不可

离。”然而在道的迹用上来说，特别在人类文明发展历程中，可以有善巧方便循流溯源地说明。

一贯道的道统源流，可权分为：一、接续性的道统源流，是指伏羲圣人以降，直至明末清初以

前，天时因缘尚未成熟，此时的“一贯道”，即是历代圣神乘愿应运传承的性理心法，日渐开阐

“一贯道”的无尽宝藏。二、开创性的道统源流，是指清顺治年间，天时因缘已趋成熟，黄德辉

祖师在江西庐山领受天命，续为一贯道东方后第九代祖，开创“先天道”，这就是现在“一贯

道”正式以传道团体应运普渡收圆的起源。直至清光绪十二年（1886年），刘清虚祖师承命为十

六代祖师，正式将道门称为“一贯道”，这就是现今“一贯道”名称的由来。清光绪三十一年

（1905年），路中一祖师承名为十七代祖师，视为白阳初祖。民国十九年（1930年），张天然

师尊、孙慧明师母，禀承上天之明命，为十八代祖师，是为白阳二祖，办理末后一著，普渡收圆

大事，道传世界各国。师尊师母虽已成道归天，但是天命性理真传仍然继续普传于世间，并由各

组线道场代表明师的点传师，续开万八年的天命薪传，普令一切众生圆成还乡觉路，和德同心成

就弥勒家园，世界大同。

The Seventeenth Patriarch LuJing-Gong Patriarch

The first patriarch of the White Sun era, Patriarch Lu, first name Zhong-Yi, was born on April

24,1849, in Jining, Shantong Province of China. In his childhood, Patriarch Lu lost his parents

and lived in poverty. He joined the army at the age of 22, miraculously inspired by the Buddhas

to receive Tao from the sixteenth Patriarch Liu. He donated all his savings sincerely, and

followed the sixteenth Patriarch Liu to cultivate the great Tao and experienced hardships and

toils with sincerity. In this way, he accumulated infinite merits.

As Patriarch Liu was nearing the end of his mortal life, he begged for instructions from the

Almighty God asking who could continue the heritage of Tao. In 1905, Lao Mu (the Almighty)

ordained Patriarch Lu as the seventeenth patriarch, or the first patriarch of the White Sun era.

With the Heavenly Decree from the Almighty, Patriarch Lu propagated Tao in Jining, Shantong

Province of China. This started the Last Salvation Mission.

Patriarch Lu passed away with white hair and a reddish baby-like face at the age of 76 on

February 2, 1925. On March 3 of the following year, the Holy Spirit of Patriarch Lu worked a

great miracle by borrowing the physical body of a person named Yang Chuen-Ling. This

miraculous act lasted for one hundred days, during which he chanted the Jing-Gong Subtle

Scripture and the True Sutra of Maitreya Buddha. Both are now widely spread in the world.
