Deities and Faith
What does Master believe deities see that keeps them willing to help humanity?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
My faith experience is that deities see human love. I once asked why they worked so hard to help humanity. The answer was that people still willingly share selflessly and contribute for others. Such deeds move people and make deities feel humans deserve rescue and love.
Discussing flood stories, I also believed that people display brilliant virtues even in difficult, dangerous environments. Seeing many bad things should not make us forget those still willing to love and help. Such goodwill is precious in human life.
Good deeds are not reserved for the wealthy or highly capable. A kind word, a sound idea, or a little time and effort can help. Seeing others do well, contribute what you can and let goodwill continue.
Through religious perceptions, I also experience deities’ greatest wish as human happiness and joy, for which they willingly contribute. Great love and vows therefore ultimately return to love in daily life. Understanding and treasuring love ourselves helps us understand why someone willingly works for others’ happiness.
