The Way of Truths and Life by
Zhen Kong Zu Shi
Emptiness is the beginning and end of life.
For so it is written in the holy books,
“long before the existence of heaven and earth, it was
emptiness, long before there were living creatures, first
there was emptiness.”
It was emptiness that brought forth the
centre of life and produced millions of livings things.
From emptiness, a single root began the
emanation of heaven and earth and million species of life,
human beings, animals, plants and so on. All these in the
end, shall return to emptiness, the origin source from where
they came. Thus, Zhen Kong is the name given to emptiness,
as manifested in this religion.
From Zhen Kong came the birth of the divine
preacher to save the mankind. He was also a transformation
of Mu Ke, the supreme lord. For it is written in the holy
books, “ Mu Ke, Supreme Lord of all, take unto himself the
likeness of man, descended upon of all the face of the earth
to preach the truth of life for the salvation of all
mankind.
Thus as a human being on earth, the divine
preacher, by his exemplary truthfulness, straightness,
forbearance, and sacrifice, saved humanity from misery and
ignorance,. After the consummation of his holy mission on
earth, He ascended into heaven and was glorified by Mu Ke as
Zhen Kong Zu Shi, the divine preacher of mankind.
During his sojourn on earth, he instituted
the religion of Zhen Kong Jiao, giving the above emblem as a sign that emptiness is the
origin and end of all life. And that Kong Zhong is the one
and only source, wherein all must ultimately return.
