Why one must read the scriptures?

The scriptures are that which you can reply on in attending to matters and receiving people.

The scriptures are the foundation for cultivation of the self. The scriptures are for examining evil, precepts are for guarding against wrongdoing.

The scriptures are the foundation for expounding Tao. The revered scripture for expounding the teachings has Daodejing as the principle scripture.

Reciting the scriptures is one of the ways of accumulating merit and amassing virtue.

Taoist Scripture Systematic Undertaking: venerate, recite, copy, study the scripture, verify, expound, compile, store, put into practice, impart.

为什么要读经?

经典是应物的凭据。

经典是修身的依据。经以检恶,戒以防非。

经典是阐道的依据。尊经阐教以道德经为主经。

诵经是积功累德的途径之一。

道经系统工程:供、诵、抄、研经、证、讲、编、藏、行、传。
