• Matteo Ricci’s Great Contribution
  • “Matteo Ricci contributed much to the world. In this age of the resolution of bitterness and grief, he is the head spirit in the spirit world. Those who know this should speak of him with reverence.
  • Yet, people are unaware because he benefited the world inconspicuously.
  • Matteo Ricci, a Westerner, came to the East and offered many ideas for building heaven on earth. His ideals were not actualized because he was unable to correct all the corrupt practices entrenched over the ages;
  • but he did succeed in bridging the boundaries between the East and West, which enabled the spirits of different regions to cross borders unhindered.”
  • Modern Civilization Inspired by Heaven
  • “After his death, Matteo Ricci led the Eastern spirits of civilization to the West and again tried to build heaven on earth.
  • From then on, the spirits inside the earth went up to heaven to learn its marvelous ways and breathed inspiration into people.
  • From this, scholarship and technology were developed, enabling humanity to imitate heaven. This was the beginning of modern civilization.
  • The benefits of Western civilization were modeled after heaven’s civilization.”
