德教源流 ◆ 史略纪要
《源流始末》（中英双语对照参考）
一、创教缘起
1939 年（民国二十八年）农历五月二十四日，正值抗日战火延烧、疫病肆虐之际。先贤杨文秀（柳春芳）、李妹诸人于广东潮阳县和平乡设坛扶鸾，恭奉玉皇大天尊及诸佛仙真降鸾垂训，秉持「发大悲心，扬大教化，渡一切苦厄，救一切苍生」之宏愿，开创德教。
1. Origin & Foundation
Dejiao was founded on the 24th day of the 5th lunar month in 1939 in Heping Village, Chaoyang County, Guangdong Province, China. Amidst the turmoil of World War II and epidemics, pioneers Yang Wenxiu and Li Mei established an altar and received divine revelations through planchette writing (fuji) to relieve suffering, promote moral teachings, and save living beings.
二、五教同源
德教主张「万殊一本，五教同源」，圆融世界五大宗教精义：儒之忠恕仁爱、道之清静感应、释之慈悲普渡、耶之博爱救赎、回之清真顺服，破除宗教门户之见，同归于善。
2. Unity of Five Religions
Dejiao advocates “Diverse branches from one root, unity of the five religions.” It embraces Confucian benevolence, Taoist tranquility, Buddhist compassion, Christian universal love, and Islamic purity, transcending sectarian boundaries to guide humanity toward universal virtue.
三、十德八则
以《德教心典》为每日修持之圭臬；以「孝、悌、忠、信、礼、义、廉、耻、仁、智」十德，以及「不欺、不伪、不贪、不妄、不骄、不怠、不怨、不恶」八则作为处世身行之戒规。
3. Ten Virtues & Eight Rules
Taking the Heart Scripture of Dejiao as the daily guide, adherents live by the Ten Virtues (Filial piety, Brotherhood, Loyalty, Trustworthiness, Propriety, Righteousness, Integrity, Humility, Benevolence, Wisdom) and the Eight Precepts (Refraining from deceit, hypocrisy, greed, delusion, arrogance, laziness, resentment, wickedness).
四、阁系分立
仙真谕示与先贤开拓下，开展以「紫」字为冠之紫阁体系（奉玉皇大天尊为主神）、以「济」字为冠之济阁体系（主奉济公活佛）、赞化宫及联系、同系各脉，皆共奉心典同推善业。
4. Lineages and Chapters
Guided by divine revelations, several major lineages emerged, including the “Zi” (Purple) system honoring the Jade Emperor, the “Ji” system venerating Jigong Living Buddha, and the Zanhua lineage. Though organized as independent chapters, all share the same scripture and moral precepts.
五、南传星马
1947 至 1950 年代初，道脉传入香港与泰国（曼谷紫真阁）。1952 年渡海南播至新加坡与马来西亚，槟城紫云阁、怡保紫同阁、吉隆坡紫芳阁、新加坡紫新阁等相继落成，随后遍布全马各城镇。
5. Spread to Southeast Asia
From 1947 to the early 1950s, Dejiao spread to Hong Kong and Thailand (e.g., Zi Zhen Ge in Bangkok). Around 1952, it flourished across Singapore and Malaya with early chapters in Penang, Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, later establishing an extensive nationwide network.
六、慈善志业
德教走向制度化与国际化，广设中医义诊所常年赠医施药、组建救灾特工队赈灾扶困、设立助学金育英培德，实践「以德立身、以善救世」的精神。
6. Free Medical Care & Charity
Establishing unified federations, Dejiao chapters operate free Chinese medical clinics, provide ongoing disaster relief, and offer educational scholarships, fully realizing the mission of uplifting moral character and serving community welfare.
