The HHP Society is based on the fundamental doctrine of “Daren (Great Benevolence)” created by Mr. Liu Zheng. Daren advocates “the Honor of Humanity is Paramount”, or “Human Supremacy”, emphasizing placing humans in the first place.

I. Background of the Emergence of Daren:

“Human Supremacy” sounds simple and beautiful, yet in reality, people are restricted or even suppressed by numerous factors, making it impossible to truly realize “human supremacy”. People must break free from the constraints of science and technology, economy, various institutions, including various restrictions by divinity to truly progress towards “human supremacy”. However, from historical experiences and current conditions, it is obvious that this has never been achieved.

Nevertheless, people have not lost faith in humanity. With the development of society, people are increasingly recognizing that human nature is the fundamental guarantee of future human happiness. Daren presents the true image of humankind and the universe for the first time in a systematic and complete manner, bringing forth a brand-new form of energy to support people to pursue their faith in human nature.

II. Core Ideology of Daren

Throughout the course of human history, people have been persistently seeking the truth of the universe and the ultimate meaning of life, yet reaching a conclusion has been challenging. Mr. Liu Zheng has spent decades personally validating that “Humanity is the Great Way”, which he elaborates in modern language as “the Honor of Humanity Is Paramount”.

True humans inherently own the position of the first priority. The treatment that people receive should correspond to the richness and completeness of their human nature. Over the course of history, people have been contaminated by various inhuman factors, gradually falling short of receiving the treatment of the first priority. Returning to their primordial true selves and restoring the pure state of human nature constitute the substantial essence of all practices of cultivation, both in worldly engagement and transcendence.

In the opening of his work “The Human World of The People“, Mr. Liu Zheng states, “In my concept of virtue, human supremacy constitutes true virtue; losing it, there is no virtue.” Human nature is the standard by which the new and the old are measured. Placing humans in the first place constitutes genuine virtue, and losing this foundation represents the old principle of inhumanity.

Human nature constitutes the ultimate foundation of all things in the world. “In the human world of the people, humans are the masters, and all things subordinate.” This is the guarantee of people’s magnificent future. All normal existences in the world, as long as they fulfill human needs, are reasonable, but they should be rightfully positioned for human use, rather than dominating over humanity.

Currently, the world is in the process of transitioning from the old to the new, and the entire history of humanity has been paving the way for this rectification. The emergence of Daren marks a critical moment in this journey, as the people of Daren are about to step onto the stage of history, unfolding the great energy, the great momentum, and Daren life brought by human nature.

III. The Holistic View of Daren:

Mr. Liu Zheng elucidates the holistic view of Daren in the foreword of his work “Da Ren“:

The most basic and intuitive holistic portrayal in this book “Da Ren (The Great Benevolence)” is that Daren (Great Benevolence) depicts a person’s complete life. The first two parts of “Da Ren” serve as an overview, just like how individuals need to learn basic knowledge at home and in school to establish a foundation for their future before entering the workforce. The middle five parts resemble the process of self-reliance after people enter the workforce, continuing until they reach their pinnacles. This is a golden period in people’s physical vitality, career and family, relatively prominent in life. The last three parts correspond to the process of people gradually transitioning to simplicity and plainness, returning to a natural and ordinary state after experiencing the peaks and passion of life.

This holistic portrayal, however, is still partial when viewed from a vaster cosmic range, and this range remains partial in even higher and farther ranges. Only when the entire range that encompasses everything and all-around, from the tiniest to the highest and the most distant, is considered as a unified whole, can it be the ultimate entirety. Humans and the ultimate entirety are not only integrated but also unified. Humanity is the universe, and the universe is humanity. The growth of individuals, humankind, and the entire universe is synchronous and coexistent. This constitutes the worldview and cosmovision of Daren.

The life perspective of Daren is becoming great humans, every individual should become a person with rich human nature, transforming the world into the human world of the people, and making society a society of Daren. The value perspective of Daren is human supremacy, where humans are in the first place, and people should be treated as humans. These are the three perspectives of Daren on value, life and the world.

IV. The Practical Method of Daren:

Daren encompasses all things, with intricate and subtle mechanisms and laws, reflecting the completeness of the Daren theoretical system. Meanwhile, Daren also has a realistic, perceptible, and easily practicable aspect. Mr. Liu Zheng and the pioneers of Daren have personally demonstrated that “human supremacy” is the truth. People only need to practice accordingly, with everything readily available and stable.

Throughout history, due to the comprehensive control of inhuman factors, people’s lives and cultivation were isolated, and worldly and transcendent pursuits were separated. People’s pursuit of truth even resulted in numerous tragedies in the human world. With all-transcending wisdom, Daren pushes out the old and brings in the new, and eliminates the falsehoods and preserve the truths. Everything must be rebuilt on the foundation of Daren, including the method of authenticating Daren， which is also imbued with the warmth of humanity.

Today’s ways of life have been chosen by people, and the emergence of Daren from them indicates that ordinary life embodies profound meanings, sufficient for authenticating Daren. In simple terms, “life is cultivation” is the practical method of Daren. A solid life can achieve the same effects as traditional meditation practice, making “the integration of worldly and transcendent pursuits” a reality for the first time. The practical method of Daren is to merge Daren into ordinary life, handling all aspects of societal life properly based on the fundamental point of Daren.
