Daoist doctrine states that ordinarily having these Scriptures
provides the energy and capability to deal with a Master (Shi)
in a friendly, cordial way.
Given are the omens that portend the lives and conduct of the People (Min Ren)

to carry out the work,
resulting in the merit and virtue [needed] to deal with misfortune.
To daily externalize the True Motive of the Mind [through inner contemplation]
in study, fast from meat, and having retired into a room
to burn joss sticks (before the idol) and chant
the liturgy of the 'Ten Deviations' (Shi Guo),
each and every one bit of the Initial Life-Transformation Fetal-Root.

Tiān Jì Rén Gōng Guò Háo Fēn Wú Shī Tiān Zhōng Mó Wáng
To get rid of perverse and dirty qualities
with assistence from the Perfect Man (Zhi Ren) to subdue them,
the result is to become a [Head] Sage [to the] Supreme Ruler of the Golden Palace,
or be an Officer of the Heavens who watches and jots down
a record of merits and faults with a writing brush,
and then assigns [them] without mistake or deviation from the norm
in the center of heaven [away from] Mo Wang (King of the Demons).
Yì Bǎo Jŭ Ĕr Shēn Dé Dào Zhĕ Nǎi Dāng Dòng Míng Zhì Yán Yĕ
Also, this protects and preserves these actions within the Body to help it
gain the proper Path (Dao) through the use of these things.
Therefore, it is suitable that Penetrating-Cavity Brilliant-Illumination (Dong
Ming) be talked about as well.
