— Awakening together, growing together

Introduction

When the great gods, saints, and divine messengers taught humanity, they always hoped we could one day build a truly just and harmonious society—one where every citizen has independent dignity, spiritual freedom, equal rights, and a shared destiny.

However, if we look back over thousands of years of human history—through empires, kingdoms, nation-states, and even capitalist republics—this dream has never truly come to life.

Human society has been limited again and again by power monopolies, growing inequality, rigid identities, and religious control. The divine awareness within each individual has been buried under material struggle and oppressive systems. It is truly heartbreaking.

Yet the divine has also reminded us: as long as we keep striving together, we will one day achieve wholeness of character and full divinity. In that future, people around the world will once again shine with the glory and light of the divine, and we will witness the rise of a spiritual human civilization.

The era of complete civic system marks a turning point in human history—a shift from material, political, and economic civilizations toward one rooted in spiritual wisdom and awakening.

This is not just a political reform. It is a movement of spiritual awakening, a collective return to our divine nature, and a complete reshaping of civilization. For the first time, humanity is stepping forward as a united whole—toward a future of awareness, self-governance, mutual support, spiritual practice, and harmonious co-existence.

I. The complete civic system: the ultimate foundation for a shared human future

In past societies, the fate of individuals was always tied to the will of the state, the dominance of aristocrats, or the control of capital. Citizenship existed in name only—rights could be taken away at any time. Freedom, equality, dignity, soul, and belief were privileges reserved for the few. But the complete civic system changes this entirely. For the first time, it binds the destiny of every citizen structurally to the state, society, institutions, and each other.

This is not just legal equality—it is a shift in the power structure itself. Citizens share real control over governance, resource distribution, and public affairs. From birth, every person becomes a co-manager of society, a co-owner of public resources, and an active participant in collective decision-making. There is no need to rely on elites, capital, or religious authorities. People can live with dignity, make choices, share benefits, and contribute to innovation.

This means:

  • Public power is no longer monopolized. It belongs to the civic community.
  • Resources are allocated based on shared rights and mutual benefit, closing the wealth gap.
  • Institutions protect each citizen’s dignity, soul, and right to pursue spiritual growth.

Under this structure, for the first time in history, humanity breaks free from the chains of identity, class, religion, and capital. A true community of shared destiny begins to take shape. We become not parts of a machine, but awakened individuals—free, creative, and spiritually alive.

II. The end of poverty: freeing people from material fear and awakening the soul

Throughout human history, poverty has never been just about hunger or lack of clothing. It has also been a systemic tool for spiritual oppression and the suppression of personal dignity. Hunger breeds fear, fear breeds submission, and submission destroys the soul and erases one’s sense of self.

This is why, in the past, many true spiritual seekers chose to withdraw from society—to “escape the world in order to preserve their inner nature.”

But in the era of complete civic systems, institutional poverty is eliminated for the first time. All citizens have their basic material needs secured—housing, healthcare, education, elderly care, culture, and space for spiritual growth are universally provided. Fear and deprivation can no longer take root.

Once material fear is gone, people naturally shift their attention from survival to self-awareness. Questions of the soul, divine awakening, and inner cultivation become part of everyday life. A new public consciousness begins to form, in which citizens collectively understand:

  • Who am I?
  • Where did I come from?
  • Why did my soul choose to be born in this world?
  • Why do human beings live together in society?
  • Where does the divine reside?

In this new era, spiritual practice is no longer limited to monasteries, temples, or isolated retreats in the mountains. It becomes a natural part of everyday life. Spiritual spaces—such as inner cultivation centers, meditation areas, reflective rooms, and schools of divine learning—are built into families, communities, and public spaces. Spiritual practice becomes a social norm, supported by institutions and embraced by all. Everyone engages in it; virtue is visible everywhere.

III. A collective leap of the soul: the rise of divine civilization

When the complete civic system secures personal dignity, fair access to resources, and freedom of spiritual practice, the awakening of the soul begins to unfold on a collective scale. In the past, spiritual enlightenment was a lonely path walked by a few sages. They awakened alone, sorrowfully aware that most of humanity remained in ignorance. But now, in this new era, the collective frequency of human consciousness rises. Divine wisdom, divine heart, and divine virtue are no longer the traits of a rare few—they become common qualities shared by all.

  • Divine wisdom: the ability to perceive the laws of the universe and the essence behind all phenomena.
    People develop both macro and micro vision, able to discern good from evil, understand life and death, and recognize their divine origins.
  • Divine heart: a deep compassion for all beings, reverence for life and nature, kindness toward the weak, unconditional love, care for all living things, and respect for those who are different.
  • Divine virtue: honesty, humility, self-discipline, and inner clarity. Citizens see power and wealth as fleeting, and value character development and spiritual purity above all.

When these qualities become widespread, society naturally evolves into a moral and spiritually self-governing civilization. There is no need for complex legal systems—conscience becomes the norm, and people live by mutual care and self-discipline.Conflict declines. Violence fades. Evil has nowhere to hide. Civilization stabilizes as soul energy rises.

This is the first time humanity truly steps into an age of divine civilization—no longer relying on force, religious control, or capital dominance, but guided instead by spiritual connection, moral strength, and divine awakening.

IV. The future landscape: material civilization steps back, spiritual civilization takes the lead

The era of complete civic systems marks the end of material-driven civilization and the rise of spiritual civilization. In the future, society will transform in the following ways:

  • Material pursuits will fade. Wealth, power, and status will no longer define a person’s value. Instead, individuals will be honored for their spiritual awareness, moral integrity, and realization of their divine nature.
  • Spiritual development will be institutionalized. Citizens will have access to civic academies, divine learning centers, soul cultivation hubs, healing stations, meditation villages, and awakened communities—integrated into daily life.
  • Civic systems and spiritual practice will work together. Social structures will protect dignity and justice, while spiritual cultivation will elevate inner consciousness. Together, they will create a stable, harmonious, and long-lasting society.
  • Civilizations will become more diverse. Each country or region will develop its own spiritual systems based on its cultural heritage and divine traditions, learning from one another and coexisting in mutual growth.

Conclusion:

The era of complete civic systems is not only the ultimate refinement of political structures—it is a civilizational turning point marked by the great revival, awakening, and rise of humanity’s divine nature. It ends poverty, dissolves fear, protects personal dignity, grants true freedom, and allows the soul to return to its source—to awaken the divine within and fulfill the highest purpose of existence.

In the future, divine civilization will become an essential part of human society. Awakened individuals will guide the progress of civilization. Humanity will finally return to its complete and original state. This is the true golden age of human history—the living expression of what many religious traditions have prophesied as the “Millennial Kingdom” or “Holy Nation.”

In that time, wisdom will be everywhere, evil thoughts will vanish, and the divine will shine through the human world. Humanity will step into an age of perpetual awakening.

一乗公益・法道の会、法を伝える四つの階梯――清明なる生命の道へ

一乗公益・法道の会、法を伝える四つの階梯――清明なる生命の道へ

Yicheng · Aug 1, 2025

この喧騒と変化に満ちた時代において、修行とは、もはや山林に籠る者だけのものではありません。修行とは、人がこの俗世にあって原点に立ち返り、自らの内なる心を見つめ直すための一つの道筋です。それは特定の信仰のレッテルや、煩瑣な儀式、あるいは他人の目から見た修行の深さとは関わりのないものです。 私ども一乗公益・法道の会が伝える法の次第は、仏家の「観心断妄」(心を観じ、妄念を断つ)の智慧を受け継ぎ、道家の「清浄自然」(清らかで、あるがままであること)の根脈をも汲んでいます。修行には段階があり、法には秩序があります。私たちは、修行者が辿る一般的な道のりを、入門、進修、化行、帰真という四つの階梯にまとめました。 一つ一つの階梯は、生命がその本源へと回帰する旅路であり、一つ一つの教えは、教義の注入ではなく、行者が自らを照らし出す手助けとなるものです。 一、入門の法:「善」「徳」を修め、「荷を降ろし」「手放す」こと――心身の束縛からの解放 修行の始まりは、欲望から身を引き、執着から解き放たれることです。初めてこの法門に触れる方々にお伝えするのは、「究極の真理」や「解脱への近道」ではなく、いわば「引き算」の生活調整です。 この段階でお伝えすることは、以下の点に重きを置きます。 この段階の教えは、感受性に強く訴えかける色彩を帯びやすく、言葉は柔らかく、自然に身を委ねることを促し、内なる温かさや帰属感を強調します。しかし、それは「情緒的な伝法」という落とし穴に陥りやすくもあります。例えば、特定の師を過度に神格化したり、「場の空気」や「感覚」を無批判に信じたり、甚だしきは修行を一種の慰めや逃避と見なしてしまうことです。 私たちはこのような状態を「蒸籠の法」と呼びます。湯気は盛んに立ち上るものの、それは真の火ではありません。感覚は満たされますが、本質に深く至ることは難しいのです。この法は、あくまで入り口を示すものであり、深い修行へと導くには十分ではありません。 二、進修の法:「凡」より「聖」へ――自己修練の主体的な過程の始まり 行者が内面の整理をある程度終え、一定の定力と思辨力を備え始めたなら、凡夫から聖者の道へと入る段階に進むことができます。これは修行の中核であり、また最も長く留まりやすい段階でもあります。 この時点での教えの要点は、以下の通りです。 これは「向上」を目指す修行の道であり、修練を積み、段階を上り、自らの力で心を救うことを強調します。多くの修行者にとって、この段階は明確な方向性を与え、精進を続けるための原動力となるでしょう。 しかし、この段階は「聖者になることへの執着」や「悟りの位階への渇望」をも生み出しがちです。「私が修行している」「私には悟れる」「私は道を得たい」という我執を超えられなければ、進修という名の下に、形を変えた自己中心主義に陥ってしまいます。 三、化行の法:「聖」より「凡」へ――道は世を離れず、修行は人を離れず もし行者が、修行の道における「自利の心」を次第に手放し、心が何物にも囚われない境地に至ることができれば、自ずと利他の願いが生まれてきます。この時に伝えられる法は、もはや己を修めるためだけの道ではなく、法を以て世に入り、修行の成果を以て社会に還元する生命の道です。 この段階の教えには、次のような特徴があります。 これは「聖者の還俗」ともいえる境地です。しかし、それは俗世への堕落ではなく、光明を抱いて塵世に入り、人の世の姿を借りて、天地自然の徳を行うことです。仏門ではこれを「菩薩道」と呼び、道家では「道を行じ、世に在る」と称します。この段階の師は、理想の境地を語らず、現実をいかに引き受けるかを説きます。 これこそが修行の社会的な表現であり、文明への深遠なる参与なのです。 四、帰真の法:「凡聖は皆な妄」と伝え、正道は即ち今此処に在り 修行がその終局に近づくとき、凡と聖の境界もまた消解します。全ての「道筋」「段階」「法門」といったもの自体が、人々を導くための方便に過ぎなかったと悟ります。真の覚醒とは、「法」そのものを超越することに他なりません。 この時の教えには、言葉もなければ、沈黙もありません。導きもなければ、表現もありません。なぜなら、 これは虚無主義でも、修行を否定するものでもありません。修行の本質への真の体得、すなわち、修行という名に執着せず、覚醒という姿に執着せず、本来の姿に立ち返り、万物をあるがままに照らし見ることなのです。 この段階において、師は特定の言葉や定まった姿を持ちません。その行いや佇まいそのものが、道となります。自らが「悟りを開いた」と宣言する必要も、「いかに修すべきか」を教える必要もありません。ただ、その静けさ、智慧、そして真実の示現そのものとなるのです。 終わりに:真の伝法とは、無我の伝法である 法の伝承は、言葉がいかに高尚であるかではなく、心がいかに誠実であるかにかかっています。儀式がいかに荘厳であるかではなく、人の心にいかに寄り添えるかにかかっているのです。 真の伝法とは、人を別の世界に連れて行くことではなく、人々がこの世界を新たに見つめ直すのを手伝うことです。 迷信を生み出さず、神秘を煽らず、自らの修行を誇示することもなく――ただ、ありのままに一つの生き方を、一つの生命の澄み切り方を伝えるのです。 一乗公益・法道の会が伝える法は、教条でもなければ、標準的な答えでもありません。それは一つの誘いであり、一筋の灯火であり、修行者たちが互いに灯し合う心の回路なのです。 修行の道を歩む一人ひとりが、自らの今此処において、本来の真実を照らし出し、正しき道を行じられんことを。 ――一乗公益・法道の会 敬白

在这个喧嚣易动的时代,修行早已不只是山林之事。修行,是人在尘世之中回归本源、照见内心的一种方式。它无关信仰的标签,无关仪式的繁复,更无关他人眼中的修为高低。 一乘公益法道小组所奉行的传法次第,既承接了佛家“观心断妄”的智慧,也涵养了道家“清静自然”的根脉。修行分层,法度有序,我们将修行者常见的路径,归纳为四重阶段:入门、进修、化行、归真。 每一阶段,都是生命的一次回返;每一重传法,都不是灌输教义,而是协助行者照见自己。 一、入门之法:传“善”“德”“减负”“放下”——从身心压迫中脱出 修行的起点,是从欲望中抽身,从执念中解脱。对初入法门的善众而言,我们所传,不是“终极真理”,也不是“解脱捷径”,而是一种减法式的生活调整。 此阶段的传法,着眼于: 这种传法常常带有较强的感性色彩,语言柔和,鼓励顺其自然,强调内在的温暖与归属感。但也容易陷入“情绪型传法”的误区,如对“某位师者”的过度神化,对“场域感应”的不加分辨,甚至将修行视为一种慰藉或逃避。 我们称这类传法状态为“蒸笼法”——热气腾腾,却非真正之火;感受充盈,却难以深入本体。它适合启蒙,却不足以引领深修。 二、进修之法:由“凡”入“圣”——开启自我修行的主体过程 当修行者完成初步的内在整理,开始具备一定的定力与思辨能力,便可进入由凡入圣的阶段。这是修行的核心阶段,也是最容易驻留的阶段。 此时的传法重点在于: 这是一条“向上”的修行路径,强调修为、进阶与心灵的自度。对许多修行者而言,这一阶段提供了明确的方向感,也构筑了持续精进的动力。 然而,这一阶段也容易产生“成圣执着”与“果位迷恋”。如果未能超越“我在修”“我能证”“我欲得道”的执念,就会在进修的名义下,陷入另一种形式的自我中心。 三、化行之法:由“圣”入“凡”——道不离世,修不离人 若行者能够渐次松脱修行路径中的“自利性”,进入心性无执的状态,便会自然产生利他的愿力。这时所传之法,已非修己之道,而是以法入世,以修行反哺社会的生命之路。 这一阶段的传法特征是: 这是“圣者还俗”的境界,但非堕落俗世,而是带着光明而入红尘,借人间之形,行天地之德。佛门谓之“菩萨道”,道家称之“行道于世”。此时传法者,不讲理想境界,而讲现实承载。 这是修行的社会化表达,更是对文明的深层参与。 四、归真之法:传“凡圣皆妄”,正道即此当下 修行走到最后,凡与圣的界限也将瓦解。所有的“路径”、“阶段”、“法门”,本身也只是方便之法。真正的觉悟,乃是对“法”本身的超越。 此时的传法,既无言说,也无沉默。无需指引,也无需表述。因为: 这不是虚无主义,也不是反修行的否定,而是对修行本体的真正体悟:不执着修行之名,不执着觉悟之象,返本归真,照见一切如是。 在这个阶段,传法者无特定语言、无固定姿态,但其所行所示,即是道本身。他不需要宣称自己“已经修成”,也无需教人“怎么去修”。他只是成为那份平静、智慧与真实的示现。 尾声:真正的传法,是无我之传 传法不在于语言多么高深,而在于是否真诚;不在于仪式多么隆重,而在于是否贴近人心。 真正的传法,不是将人带入另一个世界,而是协助人重新看见这个世界。 不制造迷信,不鼓吹神秘,也不标榜修为——只是如实传递一种生活的方式,一种生命的通透。 一乘公益法道小组所传之法,不是教条,不是标准答案。它是一个邀请,是一束灯火,是修行者彼此点燃的回路。 愿每一个走在修行路上的人,都能在自身当下,照见本真,行于正道。 ——一乘公益·法道小组 敬录

This article explores the fundamental difference between voting and decision-making. Voting reflects the distribution of power and interests, while decision-making requires a small group of people with strategic competence. When these two are blurred, decisions risk becoming shortsighted and driven by emotion, leading to power imbalances that ultimately weaken social governance.
