HALL OF TEN THOUSAND PATHS萬道堂Tiếng ViệtBack to Master Ung Khiem's site

MAIN HALL

Hall of Ten Thousand Paths

A meeting hall for every path. Each shrine holds one tradition, each with its own colour and its own founding master. The library is open to all, free of charge, and passes no judgement on which path is right.

0 sticks of incense have been offered in this hall

This offering asks nothing for anyone. It is a gesture of remembrance for those who left their knowledge to the generations after them.

Shrines of the East Asian traditions carry a spirit tablet inscribed with the founding master’s name in Chinese characters, as those traditions themselves prescribe. Shrines of traditions outside East Asia carry an emblem only, with no tablet and no inscribed divine name, because inscribing one would violate that tradition’s own practice. This library portrays no sacred figure.

What This Library Is

The Hall of Ten Thousand Paths is a library of the world's religions, built by the UK Master Academy Institute for Metaphysical Training and Research and opened freely to everyone. Each tradition has a main page covering how it began, what it teaches, whom it venerates, its scriptures, its schools, and how many follow it today. Every scripture and every mantra of consequence gets a page of its own, setting out the original text, its reading, a translation, and a line-by-line commentary.

Everything here is free. No fee, no paywall, no coins. This library exists to pass knowledge on, not to sell anything.

Description, not judgement

The library does not say which path is right and which is wrong. It invites no one to join a religion and no one to leave one.

Two voices kept apart

A box marked as the tradition teaches it carries what a religion says about itself. A box marked as the historical record has it carries what historical scholarship can establish. The two are never blended.

Every number carries a source

Each follower count is given with its source and its year. Where a figure cannot honestly be counted, the page says so plainly.

Translations made fresh

Original Chinese texts and their Sino-Vietnamese readings are in the public domain. The translations here were made directly from the originals by UK MASTER ACADEMY; no translation still under copyright has been copied.

A colour for each path

Colours are drawn from the actual vestments, implements and emblems of each tradition, and every pair is machine-tested for contrast, so a reader knows from the colour alone which path they are reading.

Every image drawn in code

All diagrams are generated in code. No collected photographs are used, and no sacred figure is ever portrayed.

The Paths In This Library

The library opens in stages. A tile in full colour can be clicked and is already written; a faded tile is still being drafted. The order is deliberate: Taoism first, because it is the root of the whole feng shui and divination tradition, then Buddhism, then the rest.

Quick Questions

What is the Hall of Ten Thousand Paths

It is a library of the world's religions, built by UK MASTER ACADEMY and open to everyone. Each tradition has a main page covering its history, teachings, deities, scriptures, schools and follower numbers; every scripture and mantra of consequence has a page of its own.

Does the library charge anything

No. Everything is open. There is no fee, no paywall, no coin system and no sign-in.

Does the library favour one religion

No. It describes rather than judges. It does not say which path is right, invites no one to join a religion and no one to leave one. Teachings and historical record are kept in separate boxes so the reader always knows which they are reading.

Why does each religion have a different colour

Colours come from the actual vestments, implements and emblems of each tradition, and every pair is machine-tested for contrast before use, so the colour alone tells a reader which path they are in.
