道法自然
何謂道法自然？ 人法地，人受制如地球法則（四季寒暑，地球物理）地法天，地球受制於宇宙法則（自轉公轉，物理精神）天法道，宇宙受制於形而上的道理（道）道法自然，道又受制於什麼？自然 不是大自然的自然，是自心之所然，形上形下總體法則之所然。 萬法出於自心。心善世界善，心惡世界惡，心攝世界攝。心善時，意善思想善行動善，故世界善；心惡時，意惡思想惡行動惡，故世界惡。 何謂善？對生命有正面影響和提升的為善，反者為惡。 世間迷者，不知善惡，或缺乏定力，隨波逐流。沉迷各種不善之感官刺激和追求。生命能量耗盡時，後悔莫及。 所以，道法自然中，其實並無外在神明主宰和決定命運，一切唯心做，前因爲何，現況就何。萬物都根據自身和族群之發展而繼續奮鬥而已，為自然。
