For each and everyone there is sent down a Flying Genii (Fei Xian),
a Celestial Being (Tian Ren) goes down to observe
his or her life's character and conduct,
and write down theit merits and achievements
and the diligence and toil used to achieve
[and maintain their level of] superior performance.
This brings into effect
Tiān Wàn Shén Cháo Lǐ Dì Qí Shì Mén Dà Xūn Zhēn Wáng Bǎo Jŭ Shén
Xiāo Dào Bèi Kè Dé Yóu Xíng
in Heaven Ten Thousand Divine Spirits (Wan Shen)
for a Court Ceremony (Chao Li) at which Earth Geniis (Di Qi)
attend upon them.
The Gate (Men) leads into the area of Great Achievement (Da Xun),
the area belonging to the True Grand-Monarch (Zhen Wang)
where one is to be Recommended For Promotion (Bao Ju) by the gods
In the Clouds of Heaven is the Path (Dao) that a complete and able [process]
allows one to get ready to travel there and ramble about.
Sān Jiè Shēng Rù Jīn Mén Cǐ Yīn Wú Suŏ Bù Pì Wú Suŏ
[Going beyond] the Three Borders (San Jie- Past, Present, and Future
Existences) one ascends and enters in through the Golden Gate (Jin Men).
The welcome news is that there are none [in need of governing,
so there is] no Sovereign and no [particular] place to be,
Bù Rǎng Wú Suŏ Bù Dù Wú Suŏ Bù Chéng Tiān Zhēn Zì Rán
for there is nothing to be removed by fasting and praying (Bu Rang).
There is no restraint [so it is] Unrestrained and without limits (Bu Du).
There is no [competitiveness so there is no] Failure or Coming Up Short (Bu Cheng).
The Celestially Endowed, Naive and Innocent Nature of 'True Self' (Tian Zhen Zi Ran)
Zhī Yīn Yĕ Gù Sòng Zhī Zhì Fēi Xiān Xià Guān Shàng Dì Yáo Chàng Wàn Shén
is [what is promised] in the Tidings.
Therefore one, by Chanting (Song Zhi) can cause the Flying Genii (Fei Xian)
to come down and take a look at what is going on.
SHANG DI YAO CHANG- And likewise, the Supreme God (Shang Di),
distant and remote, begins at the singing and calling out to
to assemble the Ten Thousand,
