天地人神有巢文하니 文理接續하고 血脈貫通이라
천지인신유소문 문리접속 혈맥관통
治天下之大經大法이 皆載此書로되

文以時異나 治以道同이라

Foundation and pillars.

There are nest-scriptures for heaven and earth, humans and spirits.

These scriptures link the civilizations of the Early Heaven and the Later Heaven, and thus the mind attains clarity.

This book contains the profound fundamentals and laws of governing the world.

The writings differ from era to era, but the way of governing the world according to dao remains the same.

²文則天文이니 文有色하고 色有氣하고 氣有靈하니라
문즉천문 문유색 색유기 기유령
氣靈不昧하여 以具衆理而應万事라
기령불매 이구중리이응만사
事之當旺은 在於天地요 不必在人이라
사지당왕 재어천지 불필재인
天地生人하여 用人하나니
천지생인 용인
天地之用은 胞胎養生浴帶冠旺衰病死葬이니라
천지지용 포태양생욕대관왕쇠병사장
Culture is inspired by the stars in heaven.
Within the stars lie colors.
Within colors lies qi.
Within qi dwell the spirits.

Dwelling within qi, spirits are never dim and supremely embody all principles,
and thus are in communion with all of existence.

The prosperity of a work depends upon heaven and earth, not necessarily upon humans.

Heaven and earth beget humans and consummate their purpose through humans.

The workings of heaven and earth are conception, embryo, gestation, birth, bathing, clothing, crowning, flourishing, debilitation, illness, death, burial.

³元亨利貞이니 奉天地道術하여 敬授人時하라
원형이정 봉천지도술 경수인시
佛之形體요 仙之造化요 儒之凡節이라
불지형체 선지조화 유지범절

The way of heaven and earth is origination, proliferation, benefit, and firmness;
and so, adhere to the dao mastery of heaven and earth and reverently convey to people the coming of the time.

The essence of Buddhism is form-substance;
The essence of Immortalism is creation-transformation;
The essence of Confucianism is propriety.

⁴天文陰陽政事
천문음양정사
受天地虛無하여 仙之胞胎하고
수천지허무 선지포태
受天地寂滅하여 佛之養生하고
수천지적멸 불지양생
受天地以詔하여 儒之浴帶라
수천지이조 유지욕대
冠旺은 兜率 虛無寂滅以詔니라
관왕 도솔 허무적멸이조

Ruling in accordance with the principle of the stars in heaven
and with yin and yang.

Inspired by heaven and earth’s emptiness and nothingness,
the dao of Immortalism conceived and formed the embryo of dao.

Inspired by heaven and earth’s serenity and annihilation,
the dao of Buddhism gestated and gave birth to dao.

Inspired by heaven and earth’s governance and edification,
the dao of Confucianism bathed and clothed dao.

Through the Crowning and Flourishing Dosu of sublime maturation,
the Lord of Tushita Heaven unites and rules over
emptiness and nothingness (Immortalism),
stillness and annihilation (Buddhism),
and governance and edification (Confucianism).
