According to the Venerable Dharma Master Hsin-tao Shih of the Ling Chiu Shan Monastery, these are the three principles for testing whether or religion is genuine. "Do the teachings seek to inspire your intelligence? Do they develop your sense of charity and concern? Do they make you feel in awe and focus on the good?"
「般若思想、發菩提心、信奉因果」，這是靈鷲山住持心道法師檢驗正信宗教的三大原則：「般若思想是要開啟你的智慧，菩提心是培養你的慈悲胸懷，因果律則要你心存敬畏，一心向善」。
