The Third Treasure: The Contract (Zi Hai Jue)

做官憑官印，修道憑合同。「合同」就是通天大印，又稱手印，也叫做「子亥訣」。明師傳合同，子亥相掐懷中抱，二六時中不離道，能脫九九大劫關。

為什麼手抱合同就能脫劫數？因為，我們的手中有天地：子丑寅卯辰巳午未申酉戌亥，子亥相掐，就是抱著超出天地的壽數，能脫出氣數之外，不在五行之中，也就是長壽不老的意思。

青陽期合同乃是傳「單掌而拜」，作為脫九劫的憑記；紅陽期合同乃是「合掌而拜」，為脫十八劫；

 

現今白陽期傳雙手懷抱合同而拜，乃在脫八十一劫數。

另外，這個子、亥合起來也是一個「孩」字，意思即是在啟示著我們都是  老母娘的孩子，應該要守著像嬰孩般純善無惡的 佛心才能跟  老母娘在一起，所以耶穌聖人也說：「手抱嬰兒見上帝。」

 

聖經馬太福音十八章第三節，耶穌基督說：「我實在告訴你們、你們若不回轉、變成小孩子的樣式、斷不得進天國。

 

其他尚有觀音佛母的佛像有抱孩兒，乃暗指抱子亥訣就是得道的人。佛時常手曲二指，乃是在啟示眾生，在午未交替之時，天降大道白陽普度，世人皆須覓道得道方能成道，以上這些都可以作為合同的印證。

 

自古以來，所謂不輕傳的密寶，也就是關、訣、印。

 

無論在世，或者百歲年老之時，這三寶都要牢記於心，因為臨終時，我們的靈性若要經過南天門前往觀音淨土，在到達三官大帝之九九紫陽關口時，就必須核對三寶以及我們求道證上所記載的引師、保師、傳道師、求道日期等資料等，印証無誤方能過關往生觀音淨土，所以請大家務必謹記在心；另外，求道證最好能隨身攜帶妥善保管，可護佑大家平安。

 

然而在此要提醒大家的是：今天我們求了三寶，只是先在天堂掛了號，得到往生天堂的資格，但能不能入列仙班就要看平時的修為了，這就是所謂的「先得後修」。

 

所以祖師慈示：「道真、理真、天命真以外，還要修辦真。」我們得之真，若修之亦真，則即時解脫，不受生死輪迴，否則得之真而修之假，招惹罪愆，如此，在世不但要受雷律察咎，百歲年老到了紫陽關時，還是要再淪落地獄受冥王審判，依業受報。

 

再來，三寶乃是白陽期的天機，俗話說：「天機不可洩漏」。道師傳三寶時，都是要點上佛燈並請到諸天仙佛來護法壇才可以傳授，所以我們今天得這三寶，千萬要記住，上不傳父母，下不傳妻兒，不可洩漏天機，如果我們希望我們的至親都能得三寶，那麼引度他們來佛堂拜師求道，才是最正確的。

 

三寶同時使用：眼睛八分閉、二分開，意念守著玄關竅，心默念十字真經，雙手合同抱在胸前，十個手指不要有漏縫。此三寶同時使用，仙佛就會契合訊息助我們大事化小、小事化無，但記住，必須要在人力不能抗拒、有危險災劫的時候使用才可以。

 

The Third Treasure: The Contract (Zi Hai Jue)

 

An officer is recognized by his official seal. A cultivator is recognized by the “contract” to Heaven. “Contract” is the great seal leads to Heaven, it is also called “Hand Seal”, also known as ‘handprint’, or ‘Zi Hai jue’. The contract is passed on by the Enlightened master.

 

Once you hold the ‘zi hai jue’ in your hands and hold it to your chest all twelve time periods, Tao will be there with you to keep you safe and away from disasters.

 

How will holding the contract (zi hai jue) keep you away from disaster? While holding the contract, we are holding heaven and earth in our hands. The twelve time periods are listed below:

 

ZI(子)  CHOU（丑） YIN（寅） MAO（卯） CHEN（辰） SI（巳）  WU（午） WEI（未） SHEN（申） YOU（酉） XU（戌） HAI （亥）

 

Therefore, holding Zi Hai together, we are also holding the life count of the heaven and earth in our hands, we automatically transcend through limited time and space, out of the control of five elements. That means, we are stepping into infinity.

 

During the Green Yang Era, the contract was ‘a single palm prayer and worship’ as the credential to free us from nine disasters.

 

During the Red Yang Era, the way of worship is ‘both palms together in prayer and worship’ as the credential to free us from eighteen disasters.

 

Now is the White Yang Era, the way of worship is both palms holding the ‘zi hai jue’ together in our arms as a White Lotus Root, to pray and worship. This will enable us to stay away from eighty-one disasters.

 

The words ‘zi’(子)  and ‘ hai’(亥)  when they are put together means ‘child’(孩) .  This inspired us that we are the children of Our Mother in Heaven. We should be sincerely adhering to the original pure spirit as a baby and return to Our Mother in Heaven.

 

In the Holy Bible, Book Matthew 18:3, said Jesus Christ, “Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.”

  

Other confirmation hints: The goddess of mercy statue holding the baby，hints the sign of holding ‘zi hai jue’ is the person received Tao.  Buddha always gives the sign to all people that at the turn of ‘wu’‘wei’ ，the salvation of mankind at household level will arrive from heaven. Every individual needs to search and receive, in order to succeed in Tao. All these can be used as seals for the credential.

 

Since ancient times, the so-called ‘secret treasure’, also referred to the three treasures ‘guan, jue, yin’(關、訣、印) is not allowed to be passed to one another easily.

 

Whether alive or dead, the three treasures always need to be surely remembered. This is because when we die, our spirits will have to pass the Southern Heaven Door that leads to the GuanYin Pure Land at Zi Yang Gateway (紫陽關). 

 

At the Gateway, the following information will be verified;  The three treasures you learned today,  the information on your Tao card including (we receive Tao card on the day that we receive Tao from the Tao Preacher), including the introducer (引師) 、the guarantor (保師) 、the priest (道師) and the date on the card.

 

When all details are verified, you can then proceed to the Guan Yin Pure Land. Therefore， it is important to memorize those data. In addition, it is better to carry the card with you and properly safeguard it.  You will be surely protected and blessed.

 

However, please remember that even though you have received the three treasures, you were only registered in heaven, qualifies you going to Heaven. But, whether you can be enlisted in the group of Immortal spirits, depends on your efforts in daily cultivation. 

 

This is what is meant by ‘Receive the messages of Tao first and cultivate afterwards. (先得後修).  Therefore, the Patriarch kindly stated, “Besides Tao is true, Principle is true, Heavenly mandate is true, Cultivation and Practice should also be true.”  

 

When we acquire the truth, we cultivate and practice according to the truth, we get relieved from suffering and reincarnation. Otherwise, if we receive the truth without cultivating according to the truth, committing sins, besides subject to our guilty conscience, we will also be sent back to hell and to be questioned and punished in hell according to the retributions for our sin.

 

Also, the three treasures are the secret of White Yang Era. As the saying goes, “do not leak the Heavenly secret”.

 

When the priest delivers the three treasures, the Buddha lamps must be lighted, all the Buddhas from heaven are invited to guard the Temple.

 

Therefore, once we receive three treasures, we must keep in mind, do not disclose the three treasures to our parents, wife, children or relatives. If we want them to receive the three treasures, the correct way is to invite them to the temple, and acquire the message of Tao.

 

Use the three treasures simultaneously: with eyes 80% close, 20% open, pay mindfulness attention at the heavenly portal, meditating the ten words Mantra, holding the contract with both hands at the chest, no gaps between the fingers.

 

By using the three treasures at the same time, all Buddhas would agree with the three treasures, help will be around to solve or minimize the problems. But keep in mind that only use the three treasures together simultaneously when it is beyond our own capacity or we are in a dangerous disaster situation.
