一貫道
美國先天道院簡介
張傳前人
一貫道宗旨：
敬天地，禮神明，愛國忠事，敦品崇禮，孝父母，重師尊，信朋友，和鄉鄰，改惡向善，講明五倫八德，闡發五教聖人之奧旨，恪遵四維綱常之古禮，洗心滌慮，借假修真，恢復本性之自然，啟發良知良能之至善，己立立人，己達達人，挽世界為清平，化人心為良善，冀世界為大同。
一貫道教義主張「儒、釋、道三教合一」、「儒、釋、道、耶、回五教同源」。 創教人王覺一為清代理學家，主張「性即理」，認爲
道是創生宇宙萬物的本體、永恆不變的真理，也是返回理天的唯一道路。 在人身上稱為性理心法、本元佛性。 末法時期，世人迷失根本，唯有求道授記，才能超生了死。 回歸「無極理天」。
『心地無非自性戒，
心地無痴自性慧，
心地無亂自性定，
不增不減自金剛，
身去身來本三昧』
明 明 上 帝
無 量 清 虚
至 尊 至 聖
三 界 十 方
萬 靈 真 宰
王覺一祖的宇宙觀：理、氣、象
理者，無極之真也。未有天地，先有此理，天地窮盡，此理復生天地。
王覺一祖接受邵康節以元、會、運、世為宇宙一終始的循環理論。以子會開天，丑會闢地，寅會生人、戌會閉物等視為天地萬物的生成過程，周而復始的生滅循環。其中涵蓋著宗教救劫的精神。
王祖認為理天乃「性命之大源」，將「人」的本體提升與宇宙本體相同的地位，建立形而上、本體的人性論。他認為，人性具有與理天相同的特質，理天是理的全體，人性則是理的分殊。人性既來自理天，因此必須還歸理天，理天者，萬物統體之至善；理性者，物物各具之至善。
他以為至善就是至理，達到理的極致。因此以至善説明理天的本質。理天的神妙是無法以文字囿限的，至善是「無聲無臭之天，無思無為之性」。
道心、元神倶出於理天，貫於個體之中，他所説「此神無時不與理天相通」，並非道心之外另有一神，而是道心、元神互通為一。
人性之本源於天，故人性至善光明無有不善。因後天氣稟之異而有善惡之分，以及降生後受物慾的遷累呈現惡的質性。只有恢復先天至善的本心，人人明善復初，返本還原，才能超出三界，不囿五行，獲大安樂，永不退轉。
The purpose of the Dao:�
Respect heaven and earth, worship the gods, love the country and be loyal, have integrity, honor the parents, honor the teacher, believe in friends, and neighbors, change evil to goodness, explain the five virtues, expound the mysteries of the five religions, abide by the ancient rituals of the four-dimensional program, wash the heart, cultivate the truth through falsehood, restore the original nature, inspire the conscience and conscience to be the best, establish oneself as well as others, attain the greatest goal, save the world into peace, turn people's hearts into goodness, and hope that the world is in great harmony. �It has always been the Taoist doctrine that "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism are one" and that "Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism, Yahweh, and Islam are of the same origin." The founder Wang Jue Yi was a Qing scholar who advocated “Essence is from the source" and believed that�The Dao is the essence that creates all things in the universe, the eternal and unchanging truth, and the only way to return to the Source. In human beings, it is called the Essencial Mind Method, the Buddha-nature. In the period of the last Fa, the world has lost its roots, and only by seeking the Dao and teaching it can it transcend life and death. Return to “Wu Ji Li Tian“, the origin.
Founder: Master Twan Chang�
Twan lost his father at an early age, and he was filial to his mother, because his mother believed in Dao, he also received the Dao 1952 and became a vegetarian.�Witnessing Chang Grand Master Peicheng's running north and south in order to advocate the Sacred Path, he preached his willingness to devote his family property to build the first I Guan Dao temple to purify the lives of the people and to spread Chinese ethics. In 1967, Sian Tian Dao Yuan in Taipei was completed, and the scale was magnificent and majestic. �Located in Taipei's Dongyuan Street, the Sian Tian Daoist Temple has a daily class lecture hall, fulled of the believers, from which the Sian Tian Daoism are spreading into five continents, crossing many good men and women, and the Sian Tian Daoist Temple can be said to be a seed dojo of the fundamental group of I Guan Dao.�Later, Twan and his wife Chang Chaochi, went to the United States to start spreading the Dao teaching in 1979, he established the U.S. Sian Tian Dao Yuan in the Tin Delong District of San Francisco and founded the Sian Tian Dao Yuan Chinese School. �Master Twan Chang lived a gentle and humble life, and after seeking the Dao, for more than 40 years, he was willing to be compassionate and reach out to help the needy across the world.
He died in 2008 at the age of 96.
He thought that the supreme good is the supreme Li, the ultimate attainment of the source. Thus goodness helps to understand the nature of heaven. The divine wonder of heaven cannot be limited by words, and the supreme good is "a silent and odorless heaven, a thoughtless and inactive nature."�The Dao Heart and the inner spirit are from Li Tian, and are integrated into the individual, and what he said that "this spirit is always in communication with the Heavenly Being" is not that there is another god outside the Dao Mind, but that the Dao Heart and the inner spirit are one with each other.�The origin of human nature is in heaven, so there is no evil in the best of human nature. There are good and evil differences due to the different envioroment after birth, and the accumulation of materialistic desires after birth takes on a bad nature. Only by restoring the innate and supreme good heart, everyone is clear and good, and returning to the original can we go beyond the Three Realms, not confine ourselves to the Five Elements, attain great happiness, and never turn back.
張傳前人
創始人： 張傳前人
張傳前人幼年失怙，侍母至孝，因為母親篤信一貫道，他也在民國41年求道， 清口茹齋。
目睹張培成老前人為了鼓吹聖道南北奔走，傳發願傾盡家產建造第一所一貫道道場， 以普渡眾生，以傳揚中華倫理道德。 1967年臺北先天道院落成， 規模宏大氣勢巍巍。
坐落在臺北東園街的先天道院每天設班講道，車水馬龍， 從此法船慈航，一貫道佛堂分佈五大洲， 渡化眾多善男信女，先天道院可以說是一貫道基礎組的種子道場。
之後傳與夫人張鄭招治到美國開荒，1979年在三藩市田德隆區成立美國先天道院，並創辦先天道院中文學校。
張傳前人一生處世溫良恭簡讓，求道後發願慈悲喜捨，濟世渡眾，40餘載嘔心瀝血。 直至2008年圓滿歸天，享年96歲。
Master Wang Jue Yi’s cosmology: Li, Qi, and Siang �
Li, the truth of the infinite. Before there is heaven and earth, there is this Origin, after the heavens and the earth are exhausted, this principle recreate the heaven and earth.�Master Wang Jue Yi accepted Shao Kangjie's theory of the cycle of the Yuan, Hui, Yun, Shi as the beginning and end of the universe. The heavens will open at Zi Hui, and end at Chou Hui. At Yan Hui it will give birth to people, and the things will be closed by Xu Hui, etc. are regarded as the process of the generation of all things in heaven and earth, and the cycle of birth and destruction that begins again and again. It contains the spirit of religious salvation.�Wang Zu believed that Li Tian was the "great source of life", elevating the ontology of "man" to the same status as the cosmic ontology, and establishing a metaphysical, ontological theory of humanity. He believed that human nature has the same qualities as Li Tian, that Li Tian is the whole, and that human nature is the part of it. Since human nature comes from the heavens, it must also return to the heavens,
the one who rules the heavens, the supreme good of all things; Li is the best in each thing.
壇主：張舜志，張傳前人傳天命於幼子，克紹箕裘，2022年成立舊金山道學研究中心，願更多衆生學習儒道釋三學之精髓，明心性，超三界，遠離痛苦。
缘起：先賢聖哲的等身著作不應該束之高閣；學儒、學佛、學道、更不是高等學府的專利。“道學中心”這個平臺是結集精進之士，定期共同研討，互相學習，以開智慧之門，以享法界盛宴。“道學中心”安排每月一次不同的儒學，佛學，道學的主題討論；以及一年一次的總結性論壇和刊物發行。整個活動的目的是超乎宗教，超乎學術，以現代人的角度重新審視儒學、佛學 、道學的同與異；進一步探索中華精神文明與“生命究竟”的接應。“道學中心”提供的是一張藏寶圖，尋寶人士必須具備的條件是精進，定力，鍥而不捨，耐心和智慧。
Altar Lord: Chang Shunchi
Master Twan Chang passed on the destiny of heaven to his youngest son, Shunchi Chang, who established the San Francisco Center For Dao Study in 2022, hoping that more students will learn the essence of Confucianism, Budddhism and Daoism, the essence of the three learnings, clear mind, transcendent three realms, and away from suffering.�He believed that the writings of the sages should not be storaged in the higher place and covered with dust; Studying Confucianism, learning Buddhism, learning Daoism, and even less is it a patent of a higher institution. “The Center for Dao Study" is a platform that gathers elite people to study together on a regular basis and learn from each other in order to open the door of wisdom and enjoy the feast of the Dharma world. The Center arranges monthly discussions on different topics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism; and annual summary forums and publications. The purpose of the whole activity is to transcend religion and scholarship, and to re-examine the similarities and differences between Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism from the perspective of modern people; Further explore the connection between China's spiritual civilization and the "ultimate life". What the Center offers is a treasure map that treasure seekers must have with the conditions of perseverance, concentration, patience and wisdom.

般若波羅蜜多心經（唐三藏法師玄奘譯）�
觀自在菩薩、行深般若波羅蜜多時、照見五蘊皆空、度一切苦厄。� 舍利子！色不異空，空不異色，色即是空，空即是色，受想行識亦復如是。� 舍利子！是諸法空相，不生不滅、不垢不淨、不增不減。是故空中無色，
無受想行識，無眼耳鼻舌身意，無色聲香味觸法。� 無眼界乃至無意識界，無無明亦無無明盡，乃至無老死亦無老死盡。� 無苦集滅道，無智亦無得，以無所得故，菩提薩埵。� 依般若波羅蜜多故，心無罣礙，無罣礙故，無有恐怖，遠離顛倒夢想。
究竟涅槃，三世諸佛，依般若波羅蜜多故，得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。� 故知般若波羅蜜多、是大神咒、是大明咒、是無上咒、是無等等咒。能除一切苦，真實不虛。� 故說般若波羅蜜多咒，即說咒曰：揭帝揭帝 般羅揭帝 般羅僧揭帝 菩提僧莎訶。
