We Chinese believe in heaven, respect heaven, fear heaven, and believe that if we follow heaven and do something, we will definitely be rewarded; if we go against heaven and do things in a bad way, we will definitely be rewarded.

May I ask everyone: What is your belief?
Some people say it is God, some people say the family is happy and healthy, some people say it is conscience and morality, and many people say it is money and wealth...
Before answering this question, please think about what can be called faith.
What is "faith"? "Believe" and "Respect". Only by believing and admiring can faith be produced.
And once the faith is firm, it will produce a very powerful force and have a significant influence on a person's words, deeds and value judgments.
Now think about what your belief is? It must come from the heart, give you something awe and have a lasting impact.
In fact, for us Chinese, no matter you believe in conscience, family harmony, integrity, or Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism , you will return to the most fundamental demand: "Heaven".
It can be said that the belief of us Chinese is "Heaven". For example, we always say that God, God blesses, God has eyes.
If you don’t even believe in heaven, what else can you believe?

Since Fuxi's painting opened the sky, it has laid the lofty status of "Heaven" in the hearts of the Chinese.
We believe that God knows everything, is everywhere, can do everything, and can be proven completely.
First, God knows everything. Chinese people often say that heaven knows the earth knows you know me, and I know, so it can be seen that heaven knows everything.
Second, God is everywhere. No matter when or where, as soon as we look up, the sky is there, and it is really everywhere.
Third, God can do everything. All things are born in nature, and of course they can do everything.
The net of the day is vast and unobstructed. We believe that God is the most fair and just. Even if he suffers grievances, sooner or later the way of heaven will be better.
It can be said that only Chinese people in the world have the friendly and closest relationship with God.
We have obtained a lot of philosophy from heaven, and we are not superstitious at all, but you just don’t understand the truth behind it.
What kind of existence is "God"? In our concept, the so-called God is nature, not something else.
All things are part of nature and cannot leave nature; humans are also part of nature and cannot leave nature.
The only lasting thing in the world is nature, the country is still there, and people are no longer aware of it. No matter how much human society changes, it will never change, and God will always be there.
So, We Chinese believe in heaven, respect heaven, fear heaven, and believe that if we follow heaven and do something, we will definitely be rewarded; if we go against heaven and do things in a bad way, we will definitely be rewarded.
In other words, we should follow nature when doing things. Because everything that is in line with nature is correct, and even if what is not in line with nature is right, it will be wrong sooner or later.

Then someone said that, but God can't speak, how do I know what instructions do God has?
The saint has long told us that although days do not speak, it will warn humans through the hanging elephant of the sky, that is, various natural phenomena, hoping that people can be enlightened by the heaven and become self-conscious.
However, today's human beings always want to be the master of nature, control nature, transform nature, and ambitiously want to conquer nature, and even believe that man conquers nature.
The climate on the earth is abnormal now, and even United Nations warns us to be mentally prepared to live a life of abnormal climate.
This means that it is difficult for humans to find ways to restore normalcy in various crises today. Because only heaven and earth can have a way to adjust it.
Now the world is adjusting, but some people say, what's the use of this adjustment? It will only become more and more chaotic. This is the problem of people themselves.
Heaven and earth are regular and can move. Humans have destroyed it. It is very difficult and cannot move normally.
The world is very struggling, so all kinds of chaos will occur. This is the result of human beings doing things themselves.
Especially in the past four hundred years, the focus of history has shifted to the West, allowing Westerners to play it out. They are fighting against nature, what is the result? Now we see it too.
I'm sorry to say it's miserable, I can only say it's not very good.

Laozi said this in the "Tao Te Ching": Tao is great, the sky is great, the earth is great, and people are also great.
The reason why people are different from animals is that humans are the spirits of all things and have sacred responsibilities that are different from animals.
Why is this responsibility not given to all mankind, but to the Chinese alone? Because only we Chinese have this tradition and wisdom. Those who are capable work harder, which is also a natural way of doing it.
At this time, we must stand up bravely, take more responsibility in this regard, help the world and nature, and restore all kinds of chaos. This is the important responsibility of our contemporary Chinese. How to do
? It means to let nature take its course and do what you should do.
But one thing must be clear: as a human being, if you only follow the nature of everything and let it be natural, it is no different from an animal. Because if you listen to it naturally, you will follow your instinct.
Why does God have such an arrangement for humans that are different from animals? It is because it gives us different tasks.
We are not following instinct, we still have willpower, which is called creativity.
As a creative person, remember that the sky is big, the earth is big, and the people are big.
people's responsibility is the "praise of heaven and earth" as mentioned in " Yijing ", helping heaven and earth to adjust, and realize the sustainable management of mankind and all things and endless life.

There is only one rule in life, which is to suffer for oneself, and no one is exceptional.
We must make careful choices and walk our own path well. Because choice determines destiny.
Usually we often put the blame on others, often complaining about others, thinking that this is wrong and that is wrong. In fact, these are all irresponsible manifestations.
You will bear the consequences yourself. This is also a fair reflection of the vast net of heaven without any leakage and the way of heaven is easy to return.
Now, We respect the heavens, which is also a choice. It is up to you whether you respect or believe it or not. To what extent you respect and to what extent you believe it is also up to you.
However, "God blesses it, there will be no disadvantages" and "Heavenly has no relatives, so we will always be with good people."
Think about the natural scene before the Fuxi painting opened the sky. There is only the sky, the earth, and only people.
We need to experience Fuxi's good intentions, and we must help the world to improve the whole world.
and in this process, realize the selflessness of heaven and earth, turn your faith in heaven into inner moral laws, and improve your self-cultivation, practice, and practice.
This is the responsibility we are born to be human and the goal we strive for throughout our lives.
