The chapter places special emphasis on the Law of Responsibility, and is reputed as The first Chinese book on kindness since ancient times. The first chapter sets the stage and acts as the guiding principle for the following four chapters. Liaofan Si Xun, or Liaofan s Four Lessons, was written by Yuan Liaofan (1533 1606) during China s Ming dynasty (1368 1644), with the hope of teaching his son, Yuan Tianqi, to understand true destiny and practice good deeds: Do good even if it is a small good deed, and do not do evil even if it is a small evil act. In this way, one can change their destiny. Through his life experience, Yuan Liaofan provided living proof of the benefits of practicing good deeds and cultivating virtue and humility. This bilingual edition with original Chinese texts aims to help Western readers learn the Chinese language, while the English translation hope to aid Westerners better understand the deeper meanings of these lessons.
