Good Readings:"The Treasure of Life" by Emperor Kangxi (translated into English)

The treasure of heaven is comprised of Sun, Moon and Stars;
The treasure of earth consists of crops, gold and silver.
The treasure of a kingdom is to have righteous officials;
The treasure of a family is to have descendents with piety.
Yet, Gold, silver and jade are not as precious as one’s life.
Hundred years of age is nothing compared to eternity.
Coming and going in life is like a dream.
The best food and clothing don’t mean a thing.
It’s no exception for someone born in a royal family.
The most important thing in the world is life.
Something that white jade, gold and silver can’t buy.
Even plain porridge can be satisfying;
No cloth is fit to wear for a thousand years.
Heaven’s gate was closed due to the first man’s sin;
The path to salvation is through the Son only.
I would like to accept God, the Son and the Holy Spirit;
And receive from Thee my free gift of eternity.

Good Readings:"The Poem on Truth" by Emperor Kangxi (translated into English)

Everything as seen by the eye is His creation.
He who has no beginning and no end, is three persons in one.
Heaven’s gate was closed to the first man’s sin and reopens through the Son.
Rid of all false religions, we should become real disciples admired by everyone.

"The Poem of the Cross" or "The Death of Christ" by Emperor Kangxi (translated into English)

When the work on the Cross was accomplished, blood formed a creek
Grace from the west flowed a thousand yards deep.
He stepped onto the midnight road, to subject Himself to four trials.
Before the rooster crowed twice, betrayed thrice was He.
Five hundred lashes tore every inch of His skin.
Two thieves at six feet high hanged beside him.
The sadness was greater than any had ever known;
Seven utterings, one completed task, ten thousand spirits weep.
