We can see from his study, research, culture, faith, service, see Lo Archbishop of indomitable spirit, hope to Scholastic philosophy and Chinese philosophy as a mix of research, innovation and a Western exchange interaction of the Civic, developed his "philosophy of life." We thought from the conversation he informed his philosophizing philosophy and spiritual life can not separate the life of faith and life will be more willing to coherence in the essence of Chinese and Western cultures, the development of a "Heaven", "Road pass for a "and" harmony one "of" life beyond ", as the said:" My spiritual life, the absolute truth tend to infinite goodness, and divinity of Christ is a life of consistency; my spiritual life is in the body beyond the universe of natural objects, taken to rise to the divine body, I have become increasingly active spiritual life beyond the universe, though living in the universe with all things, in my spiritual life purpose and nature activities, but are divine life over the universe, and the real goodness of the Creator and absolute phase in the life of Chinese philosophy, Confucianism and Buddhism Road are increasingly seeking life beyond, Confucianism, "Heaven," Road to Taoism "and said Ming together, "Buddhism as" Nirvana "for the purpose of all human life beyond the pursuit of the universe, to coincide with the absolute realm of the body."

We can see Archbishop Lo's perseverance from his learning, research, cultivation, faith, and service. Wishing to completely understand both scholasticism and Chinese philosophy, Archbishop Lo created a philosophical field where Chinese and Western philosophies can interact with each other and whereby developed his "metaphysical philosophy of life." We can find from the renditions of his thoughts that the ideas of his philosophical thinking are inseparable from his spiritual exercise and that he was more than willing to cohere his faith and life with the essence of Chinese and Western culture and develop the "unity of heaven and man", the "harmony of dao", and the "harmonious" "transcendence of life. "He once said:" My spiritual life is oriented toward the infinite and absolute good, beauty, and truth and also united with the divine life of Christ. My spiritual life transcends ontologically all things in the universe and reaches the entity of divinity . The activities of my spiritual life are gradually transcending all things. While living with all things in the universe, the activities of my spiritual life, in terms of purposes and essence, are part of the divine life that's beyond the universe. They are also connected to the creator of the absolute good, beauty, and truth. In Chinese philosophy of life, all Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism have the transcendence of life as their goal. While Confucianism is after the "unity of heaven and man", Daoism is about the "implicit connection with Dao", and Buddhism aims at "nirvana", they are all in search of a life that transcends the universe and reaches the unity with the absolute ". Accordingly, the whole article is a development of and reflection on Archbishop's ideas and wishes: 1.I will always sing for the kindness of God. 2.Iwantto understand completely both traditional Chinese Confucianism and scholasticism. 3.I write about the spirits of Chinese philosophy systematically. 4. After all, I am an archbishop and therefore have the duty to be a spiritual director
