Sanctification
Shares the Confucian self-cultivation-into-sagehood resonance found across the Chinese-character sphere, but Hong Kong’s more religiously plural, less classically-Confucian-schooled general population makes the collision somewhat less acute than in Mandarin contexts; still requires a clarifying note distinguishing Spirit-wrought sanctification from self-directed moral discipline (修煉, associated with qigong/martial-arts training regimens) or simple habit-reform (戒除惡習).
