¹“The dao of Immortalism, the dao of Buddhism, the dao of Confucianism, and the dao of Christianity are the basis of many of the world’s cultures.²I now appoint Choe Su-un as the head of the dao of Immortalism,³Jin-muk as the head of the dao of Buddhism,⁴Zhu Xi as the head of the dao of Confucianism,⁵and Matteo Ricci as the head of the dao of Christianity.

⁶“These new heads will gather together the essence of each tradition and lead the preeminent spirits of all teachings and the preeminent spirits of all civilizations in extracting the essence of the many different cultures and uniting them into one.

⁷“I now unite the three daos: Buddhism, whose essence is form-substance; Immortalism, whose essence is creation-transformation; Confucianism, whose essence is propriety.⁸My dao is akin to Buddhism, but is not Buddhism; my dao is akin to Immortalism, but is not Immortalism; my dao is akin to Confucianism, but is not Confucianism.⁹I now extract the marrow of Buddhism, Immortalism, and Confucianism and infuse this marrow within Immortalism.”
