I Have an Ideal

(Translated by Transn Ltd. and Edited by Kaer)
Following the footprints of immortals, sages, oracles and saints, I have crossed and trekked numerous treacherous mountains and rivers. Roaming all through the wilderness of soul, I have been spreading the message of the Greatest Creator. The wishes of god and Buddha and the expectations of oracles and saints have converged to form my ideal, which is as clear and bright as the shining sun and can be food of thought for you to meditate over.
Human beings have been trekking along a long path soaked with blood. Jesus and Sakyamuni have revealed to us that in the universe there are many higher spaces of LIFE and have earnestly and tirelessly admonished us not to go astray from the great road of LIFE. Numberless immortals, sages, oracles and saints have exerted their utmost effort for the happiness of mankind. Their souls are still shining brightly over us, warning us not to act against the law of nature and wishing us to live a happy life.However, blinded by the dense fog of “civilization�, mankind has been straying further and further away from the great road…
I want to kindle a beacon of hope to light up the endless darkness, bringing mankind a ray of hope. I want to create an oasis out of the vast and isolated desert, offering an auspicious and harmonious habitat for LIFE on earth. I want to build a land of spirit and soul out of the boundless ocean of flaunty material prosperity, leading to the land those people who yearn towards the Greatest Creator, love LIFE and nature, and possess beautiful human nature and soul and making them eternally severed from the abyss of sufferings. I will shepherd them safely to the Thousand-Year World to enjoy the wonderful time of the millennium.
The people favored by god and Buddha are still miserably shackled in spirit and soul. In this bustling world overrun with desire for material acquisition, people with a purer and better heart are more prone to spiritual and psychological tortures, and cannot afford even a moment of peace and quiet. Every place reeks of putrid smells. What meet the eyes are wickedness and evils that have gone unpunished. Man’s tremendous amount of legal articles and religious teachings are powerless to avert the depravity of morality and the prevalence of wickedness. The viciously misleading evil soul and the junk thought have taken up the throne of truth.
Despotism has not only caused the loss of personal and spiritual freedom for the governed but also has caused the governing class to be trapped in the quagmire of desperation, without any hope to obtain the true freedom of LIFE.
I want to tell people that the plight of mankind does of lie in the material aspect but in the spiritual aspect. The wasteland of spirit and soul is the real source of human suffering. Seeking the homestead for spirit and soul is an urgency for mankind. The blind pursuit of material acquisition is only analogous to quenching one’s thirst with poisoned wine or stopping water from boiling by scooping it up and pouring it back. Thus such acts will cause the ruin of not only the earth but mankind itself.
An era is a demoniac era if the dignity of a person is determined by the amount of money he has earned and the social position he has attained and if the value of man is not measured by his moral character and good deeds. A society is an evil society if it allows its subjects to become upstart through speculation and plundering instead of getting rich with honest and diligent labor. A government is a despotic and satanic government if it spares no effort to force-out new thinking, attempting to lock people in an ignorant and barbarian and savage world. A nation will be one void of wisdom and oriented toward insanity and destruction if it does not advocate dedication and love but blindly instigates its people to use violence.
Man’s worry originates partly from ignorance and partly from selfishness. Because of ignorance, we have invited demons in but shut the door against god and Buddha. Because of selfishness, we have chosen wickedness but abandoned righteousness. A lot of good ideals and kind moralities are often snuffed out in the cradle. The desolation of soul is the optimum soil to breed junk thought and religious plague.
Today people are engulfed in information. Television, networks, newspapers and magazines, books, and lectures are infusing mountains of information into us, far more than we can digest, thus causing the indigestion, malnutrition, and ill health. The pursuit of knowledge has become a morbid thirst. The more we attempt to swallow down unthinkingly, the less we understand. Various media have become the fertile soil to cultivate ignorance and manic and blind adherence.
Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual perception, those literati have made up rancid articles under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality, and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief�, cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism…They have fabricated so much cultural garbage and so many spiritual drugs that it is impossible to clean them all up. The roughly manufactured scum has become our daily food for thought, which has directly distorted our values, destroyed our human environment, and polluted our pure heart.
Having no beliefs, no principles, no wisdom, and no spiritual sense, those literati hangmen worship those rancid articles as classics under the pretense of maintaining stability, advocating reform, carrying forward culture, inheriting legacies, publicizing morality,and promoting benevolence, and under the disguise of adhering to “belief�,cultivating oneself, pursuing freedom, and fighting despotism… As for those works of wisdom, which shine resplendently with thought, they look down upon them as “heresies� and wielded their cultural butcher knife toward them without hesitation…
The Chinese people, on the one hand you have been heaving sighs that China has become a land deserted by the Greatest Creator, but have you on the other hand acquired the broadness of mind to include great wisdom? Can you recognize it when great wisdom really “descends from heaven�?
I have an ideal that the Greatest Creator may enter China and the human world, that Christianity and Buddhism may regain their prevalence here, and that humanity may be restored on the beautiful land.
When conspiracy and tricks prevail over truth, justice is taunted, enthusiasm meets with contempt, reverence for the Greatest Creator is regarded as ridiculous, oppression and bully are viewed as inviolable power, the hoodwinked masses are meanwhile branded as ignorant,freedom is slandered, life is trampled, right and wrong are reversed, black and white are confused, and good and evil people mix together, then in such situations we have no choice but to search the source of LIFE. Only in this way can we pierce through the indistinct murk and see the light. Only in this way can we steady the steer in the turbid and turbulent waves and ultimately reach the ocean of LIFE.
In this unusual time of superficial prosperity, when actually crises are lurking everywhere, we are not yet in the position to sing praises of the virtue or merits. At a time when the journey is rough and treacherous, flattery and conservativeness cannot salvage us. Now it is not yet the time when “the bank of injustice� has gone bankrupt completely. Any non-action and dawdling will only speed up the approach of “doomsday�. We will only eventually lose our beautiful homestead and splendid future if we are only capable of destruction and are incapable of construction, if we don’t know how to repay other people’s favors and are only bent on vengeance, and if we only want to acquire from others and do not know how to dedicate to others.
For many centuries, man’s blind behaviors have dug out an abyss, which can engulf us at any moment and thus should be filled up. The sooner it is leveled up, the better it would be.
Reverence for the Greatest Creator and adherence to his road is our only hope, because only in front of the Greatest Creator can we have equal human dignity; because we should worship the Greatest Creator so that our mind can possess soul, our knowledge be transformed into wisdom. And only in this way can we understand the meaning of LIFE and embark on the great road of LIFE.
You may lock yourself up in the ivory tower, lose yourself in the piles of broken papers, and engross yourself in the so-called academic research, thus placing yourself outside the social issues. In so doing, you seem to have entered a serene heaven. However, can you expect any egg to remain intact if the nest is overturned? Poke your head inside a cave,leaving your hindquarter exposed and fancying that what is not seen does not exist. Can you derive from your research any great achievements that may do any good to humankind?
The unrealistic teaching or “truth�that blindly preaches pursuit of happiness of future life is absurd and wicked. A person always wearing a smile is relentless at heart; a person always with tears is cruel at heart.
Children are suffering starvation and cannot afford education; the poverty-stricken have no money to treat their diseases. However, we are manufacturing various kinds of luxury products, and building one after another lifeless skyscrapers. Isn’t this a mockery and blasphemy against LIFE?
If our neighbors have no freedom, we ourselves cannot obtain complete freedom. If our brothers are suffering starvation, we cannot swallow the dainty food in our mouths. If people in the remote areas are crying, we will not be able to enjoy quietly the comfort and luxury of big cities.
I have an ideal. I will lead those who truly yearn towards the Greatest Creator to Lifechanyuan, and transform the jarring hullabaloo into a fraternal movement, and play a convivial symphony of LIFE.
I firmly believe that mankind can certainly walk out of the dark canyon and the wasteland of spirit, and enter an unprecedentedly beautiful field. I firmly believe that soul will prevail over flesh and that people will eventually obtain the freedom of body and mind and the serenity of LIFE.
This is not a golden fantasy for the remote future. The majestic tides are surging with mighty momentum. Among their broad bosoms are contained colorful gems that can decorate man’s life and make it more noble and beautiful. When the unexpected supernatural incident comes,the mysterious power shall strike people’s heartstrings, the vast fields will take on the splendid coating, the polluted rivers will become clear and pure again, the turbid sky will be changed into expanses of colorful clouds, and the free rhythm will reverberate in each inch of the land.
Eternal virtue remains with Jesus Christ!
Supreme wisdom is ascribed to Sakyamuni!
Eternal glory belongs to the Greatest Creator!

This Is the Life of Chanyuan Celestial
Xue Feng
First of all, we can only rely on Lifechanyuan Values; personal relationship is undependable, even Xue Feng and anyone of Chanyuan celestials are undependable.
Only through Lifechanyuan Value can it be possible for Chanyuan Celestials to live a happy life. Any intension to rely on somebody would lead to final desperation.
So, "everyone's behaviors must be based on laws and disregard of people"; must be based on Lifechanyuan Value not on Xue Feng. We can reach our destination as long as Lifechanyuan Value exists, no mater what happens to Xue Feng.
So, we must live with people who can resonate with the Lifechanyuan Value; even if there are only three or four people who have mutual resonance in mind, they can live a happy life if they obey Lifechanyuan Value. Any ignorance of Lifechanyuan Value would incur troubles immediately. Personal promise is not something everlasting, they may turn hostile suddenly.
Then, how to illustrate Lifechanyuan Value on the topic of living style?
1. Never fight against the government; never participate in any activity disobedient to the government; never fight against any powerful people in any field; never fight against the boss of the company; be reserved, not display gallantry in front of people; remember that we are the humblest celestials, we are the weakest men and we are the most useless people in the world.
2. Learn from the saints with virtue; follow the examples of the perfect men in history. Never play tricks or fish in trouble water but be frank, forthright, honest and sincere; never steal, rob, deceive, cheat, or defraud others even if at the edge of starving to death; never pick up the money on the ground which do not belong to you. It is only that "people do not take any articles left by the wayside" will it be possible for "doors are not bolted at night". "Coveting the nourishing from domestic animal will make nature lose, profiting at other people's expense will not get sufficient treatment from Tao." Your intentions should not offend heaven，earth and others. No hatred should exist in heart even you died of being wronged. The reason for such doing is for acquiring a peaceful mind and the natural greatness of the soul rather than for a good reputation. Be sure to keep in mind that: "Do not commit sins if you do not want to be punished" Have a clear consciousness, do not go astray.
3. Gradually reducing secular contacts, and getting touch with celestial beings. Be diligent in works, be penitent everyday. Not wasting time in beer and skittles, not showing off yourself. It is better to make people forget your existence. Try to be early in clearing of the secular debts and not to have new secular relationship but strive for getting to know more celestial beings. The journey in this world for us is to cut out any connection in the mortal world and make forward for the celestial archipelago for our forever enjoyment.
4. Conceive Lifechanyuan as the thousand-year world; as if nobody existing in the world except Chanyuan celestials and nothing is our business except chanyuan celestials. There is no marriage and no mutual possession for Chanyuan celestials; they may have sex freely because it is the real situation in the thousand-year world, but remember that all behavior should be natural and be based on real emotion instead of any plot. Keep in mind that "Indulging in a hobby saps one's will; indulging in a tricky saps one's morality".
5. Strive for the construction of Home without Marriage and Family and rest all our hopes on the Greatest Creator, self-improvement and self-refinement. Home without Marriage and Family would guarantee our survival and solution of our personal problems such as birth, death, illness and old age. Come to Home without Marriage and Family if being abandoned by society and secular family, being in desperation or disease, getting bankrupt, being hit by a disaster, being old, lonely; come to Home without Marriage and Family for the enjoyment of beautiful and free life. In short, if you want, you come. But there is a precondition here, you must be willing to give anything you have for the benefit of our brothers and sisters and lovers here, event at the cost of our own life. You must be willing to share what you have, at least you will not permit a single Chanyuan celestial staying hungry. You must be willing to go all out for saving any Chanyuan celestial from his/her troubles. And, there is still one more question for our consideration which is, anytime you are enjoying all of these, we should ask ourselves first: "What have I done for the construction of Lifechanyuan and Home without Marriage and Family? What have I devoted?" We must be very clear that the boys and girls of Lifechanyuan are not stupid at all-no insincere action or manner whatsoever is permit to return their honesty and kindness.
6. Follow the way of the Greatest Creator and no ganging up and knotting group, no making alliance for offense and defense, and be brave enough to bring everything we have into the open, being dignified and frank; we must be conscious that, anyone might turn hostile suddenly and everything can be a reason for being blackmailed. Therefore, everything between two people, even a letter, should be able to stand the test in public. In The Home, all behaviors should be based on common value rather than personal relationship; otherwise, anyone's criminal action might involve other guy, which is the so-called "A single slip may cause lasting sorrow", any gangs or groups will bury yourself for other's wrongdoing or evil when the situation becomes critical. Be sure to bear in mind that "without a guilty conscience, without misgivings".
7. "Set your self to a higher standard, do the best what you can, have an ordinary life ".You may earn much money but can not be pleasure-seeking. Be possible to take vegetables and corn flour as the ordinary food or even in vegetarian diet instead of reveling in dainties. "Lead a simple yet honest life rather than luxurious and extravagant one". The principles of living standard be practical, no extravagance, no waste and no showing off. It is absolutely unnecessary to be luxury in daily use. "Think the hard work of growing of rice and of grain, whenever you dine; remember how silk is obtained which keeps you warm and looks fine." Of course, it is also unnecessary to be as austere as a puritan, you should enjoy life when it is time to enjoy..
8. Anyone who gets into Home without Marriage and Family and who loves baby may expect his/her own baby, but the baby will be educated without the concept of father and it is forbidden to make him/her known who his/her father is. The baby will be raised by Home without Marriage and Family after being weaned; the baby will be educated to respect all of his/her elders, and regard all the male superiors as his/her father and all the female superiors as his/her mother. Every superiors must take the babies here as his/her own, loving them and taking care of them. The Chanyuan celestials at old age will be supported by all of the Chanyuan celestials and Lifechanyuan will designate for their specific nursing to the last moment of their mortal life. Each person will be designated for his favorite work, for example, those who love cleaning do cleaning job, those who love cooking do cooking job, those who love gardening do gardening job, and those who love making things do their makings; there is no superior job or inferior job here, and there is no difference in the amount of jobs. Every people must show the human's essence of truth, goodness and beauty for providing the best services. No matter how much you contribute, the principle in Home without Marriage and Family is non-possession ownership. The distribution will be made according to everybody's specific needs and nobody would be possible to own anything except the life. If you want to be a manager, you must live the worst room and take the worst food. This is the so-called "To be the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts." By this way, there will be no fight for power any longer.
The above 8 items are the living style of Chanyuan Celestials. Seeing from the secular point view, this can be called Arabian Nights or foolish ideas. But for those who have understood the meaning and value of Lifechanyuan, they know that it is the best way to approach the high- level space of life. You may the beneficiary of these upon reflection or perception about.

The Psychological Qualities to Be Chanyuan Celestial
Xue Feng
During the Three Kingdoms time, an important defensive place-Jieting was lost because of Zhuge Liang's subordinate general Ma Su's disobedience. Sima Yi, who was the General of Wei, led his troop moving towards Xicheng where Zhuge stationed. Comparing with Sima Yi's 150 thousands of soldiers, Zhuge Liang had only the civil officials and the 25 hundreds of soldiers. His officers were all frightened at the news of approaching of the enemy. But Zhuge Liang, on the contrary, donned the simple Taoist dress and, attended by a couple of lads, sat down on the wall by one of the towers with his lute before him and a stick of incense burning. His face was with all smiles as he played the lute. This is the famous story of empty-town bluff.
Zhuge Liang showed outstanding psychological quality in the face of crumbling under attacks. When he and his men hovered between life and death, he could remain serene and control and even amuse himself by playing the lute rhythmically.
In the chapter of In A Plum Garden, Cao Cao Discusses Heroes, Cao Cao pointed his finger first at Liu Bei and then at himself, saying, "The only heroes in the world are you and me.", which shocked Liu Bei so great that the spoon and chopsticks rattled to the floor. Although Liu Bei stooped down to recover the fallen articles and said "What a thunder! And it was quite close." in order to covering his shock, he still exposed his inadequate psychological quality. On the later chapters, Liu Bei ignored the whole situation of his country and attached too much importance to brotherhood for revenging Guan Yu, which lead to the result of his camps extending 700 Li being burn out by Lu Xun, a general of East Wu. His failure is also caused by his inadequate psychological quality.
The outstanding general of East Wu, Zhou Yu was irate to death at the age of 36, which was also a result of bad psychological quality. In the end, he sighed, "O God, since thou made Zhou Yu, why did thou also create Zhuge Liang?" It is a good illustration of his psychological quality inferior to that of Zhuge Liang. Totally different with Zhou Yu, Sima Yi accepted the skirt given by Zhuge Liang kindly and wore it at once intending to irritate Zhuge Liang, which also showed Sima Yi's outstanding psychological quality here.
What is psychological quality? It is a comprehensive reflection of the temperament, character, thinking, emotion, IQ, tolerance, and faith of a person, and the embodiment of that person's connotation. A man of excellent psychological quality is confident, generous, strong, stable, energetic, optimistic, tolerable, magnanimous and calm, etc. while a man of bad psychological quality is self-abasement, bigoted, testiness, pessimistic, negative, narrow and flurried.
Chanyuan Celestials are the most civilized, most cultivated, most intelligent, most active and creative, strongest people with spiritual nature in the world. They are common but above the common of the ordinary sense and free form vulgarity. Therefore, each Chanyuan Celestial should have the following psychological qualities.
Remain calm in the face of danger and death.
Chanyuan Celestials hand his/her life to the Greatest Creator and his/her lifetime to the Tao. They can remain serene and in control in the face of danger and death.
Never retreat and feel discouraged in the face of extremely difficulties and hardships. As long as they breathe, as long as there is one out of ten thousands of hope, they'll not give up, not let any chance of survival slip away.
In front of the long journey, they will overcome all obstacles and difficulties with indomitable spirit; they will not step back; even if they would die, they died on the journey for the destination; they will never stop short of goal.
Many people around may ridicule, satirize, speak ironically, slander, insult, and attack them or create difficulties. It doesn't matter, they would "sit tight in the fishing boat despite the rising wind and waves" and "Stick to it and never give up". They stand steadfastly on the ground.
In front of desperate situation, they will laugh in the wind; when they are struggling alone, we will show their heroic spirit all the same.
When it comes to the complicated and bewildered situation, they will keep relaxed, steady, and active instead of changing our opinions or following other people blindly; they'll lighten the magic lamp in their heart for walking out off the path of error and creating an ideal future in extraordinary courage and style.
When it comes to the unreasonably troublesome or importunate situation, they will be open and clear, active and flexible, witty and tactful so as to prevent contradictions from intensifying and try to be humor, funny, or to pretend to be foolish for getting rid of drudgery, rather than getting us more deeply entangled in it.
In front of frustration, they will never feel inferior, or stop their marching process; they believe that as long as they have firm faith in their heart, as long as they make unremitting endeavor, when God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window, and there will be another sunrise every morning. It is just like some famous Chinese saying "Where hills bend, streams wind and the pathway seems to end; past dark willows and flowers in bloom lies another village." Or "when it is dark in the east, it is light in the east, when things are dark in the south, there is still light in the north." They would impress the world someday, and in this I firmly believe!
What are listed above are the 8 attainments to be a Chanyuan Celestial. As long as they have these attainments, no such a Flame Mountain that is impassable, no such a difficulty is insurmountable. As long as they have these attainments and integrated personality, they'll have a bright future and they will approach the celestial world smoothly.

Chanyuan Celestials hand his/her life to the Greatest Creator and his/her lifetime to the Tao. They can remain serene and in control in the face of danger and death.
Never retreat and feel discouraged in the face of extremely difficulties and hardships. As long as they breathe, as long as there is one out of ten thousands of hope, they'll not give up, not let any chance of survival slip away.
In front of the long journey, they will overcome all obstacles and difficulties with indomitable spirit; they will not step back; even if they would die, they died on the journey for the destination; they will never stop short of goal.
Many people around may ridicule, satirize, speak ironically, slander, insult, and attack them or create difficulties. It doesn't matter, they would "sit tight in the fishing boat despite the rising wind and waves" and "Stick to it and never give up". They stand steadfastly on the ground.
In front of desperate situation, they will laugh in the wind; when they are struggling alone, we will show their heroic spirit all the same.
When it comes to the complicated and bewildered situation, they will keep relaxed, steady, and active instead of changing our opinions or following other people blindly; they'll lighten the magic lamp in their heart for walking out off the path of error and creating an ideal future in extraordinary courage and style.
When it comes to the unreasonably troublesome or importunate situation, they will be open and clear, active and flexible, witty and tactful so as to prevent contradictions from intensifying and try to be humor, funny, or to pretend to be foolish for getting rid of drudgery, rather than getting us more deeply entangled in it.
In front of frustration, they will never feel inferior, or stop their marching process; they believe that as long as they have firm faith in their heart, as long as they make unremitting endeavor, when God closes a door, somewhere he opens a window, and there will be another sunrise every morning. It is just like some famous Chinese saying "Where hills bend, streams wind and the pathway seems to end; past dark willows and flowers in bloom lies another village." Or "when it is dark in the east, it is light in the east, when things are dark in the south, there is still light in the north." They would impress the world someday, and in this I firmly believe!
What are listed above are the 8 attainments to be a Chanyuan Celestial. As long as they have these attainments, no such a Flame Mountain that is impassable, no such a difficulty is insurmountable. As long as they have these attainments and integrated personality, they'll have a bright future and they will approach the celestial world smoothly.

No Debts Between Chanyuan-Celestial
Xue Feng
The big love means no love; the big morality means no moral. Lifechanyuan is not the secular society, and Chanyuan-Celestial will never be in debt among each other.
I, Xue Feng, create Lifechanyuan and come to the Mortal World to find life for Heaven; this is my mission, my duty and my natural instincts; I do all these for myself to achieve the Buddhism of Celestial Beings, and I am willing to pay for it; so all Chanyuan-Celestials don't owe me anything.
If I invite you for a dinner, a hundred dinners or billions of dinners, it is my own pleasure, and I have got my reward in the process of eating dinner; as a result, you do not owe me anything.
If any Chanyuan-Celestials obtain enlightenment, inspiration, physical strength or happiness, it belongs to your own merits and virtues, your own destiny, you deserve all these; all merits should belong to Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, the Greatest Creator and yourself; I do not have any merits or virtues; so Chanyuan-Celestial does not owe me anything and should not be grateful to me.
I love playing, so there is full of talking and smiling in the homeland; I am happy because everyone is happy; this happiness is created by everyone and is the reveal of the true sentiments of everyone; so I should never be considered as the one that brings this happiness.
In one word, no matter in the past, present or future, all Chanyuan-Celestials do not owe me anything.
Similarly, I do not owe anything to any Chanyuan-Celestials; your contribution in homeland means to accumulate treasures in Heaven, which belongs to your own life track and is out of your own willing; the words and actions of each person are all for yourself accomplishment; so all Chanyuan-Celestials do not owe anything to each other.
The mutual helps of Chanyuan-Celestial, no matter in mental or physical, are out of mutual affection, destiny and out of their own will; among all Chanyuan-Celestial, they do not owe anything to each other.
What we carrying on will change with our destinies and move according to one's temperament; and there is not any rights or obligation among us; if you are willing, we can move on together, otherwise, we choose our own way; when we get together, we will care, praise and encourage each other to share the happy times; however, we will not worry about each other, nor owe to each other anything when we say goodbye to each other.
Do not always expect returns for what has been done; everything operates in the scope of Tao, and the Greatest Creator will make the fair judgment on everything. "God's mill grinds slow but sure;" and we believe "As a man sows, so he shall reap;" at last, everything will be judged fairly.
Here everything is free from vulgarity; everything should not be measured by the worldly value system just like one of the passionate lovers who complains "you have delayed my youth and you have to pay for it;" after they broken up or like the man and woman who have one night stand want to get tied down the other side; here all loss and gains are realized during the process, and everything is out of our own willingness; nothing is owed to each other.
In order to climb the summit of human life and life, we come to Lifechanyuan; the relationship among various Chanyuan-Celestials is not to form a clique to pursue selfish interests, neither to form some political party to fight for some rights or interests but to fall into company with each other. Everyone has ones own willing and freedom and should be responsible for oneself; we will not pay you "the youth loss cost" when someday you are not happy and begin to hate us deceiving you.
We are not the interest usurpers or contenders but the people who resonate with each other in the same frequency; so everyone should not defend other Chanyuan-Celestials for a justice, not make an assessment on other Chanyuan-Celestials, not be on behalf of other Chanyuan-Celestial to fight for "name" or not manage the things of other Chanyuan-Celestials which should not be managed, but should just focus on ones own self-refining and self-improving. All Chanyuan-Celestials are independent and free, and not anyone has the right or qualification to restrict other Chanyuan-Celestials. Chanyuan-Celestials should not establish the difficultly sustained personal relationship or restrict each other with love or emotion.
In one word, we have to remember: no matter how much merits or contribution you have made for Lifechanyuan, all Chanyuan-Celestials do not owe each other anything; and everything we do is out of our own willingness.

Rather Die Than Swallow One's Words
Xue Feng
Lifechanyuan is built on the basis of faith which is the belief in the Greatest Creator, Taoism, Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, Celestial LaoTzu, Mohammed the Prophet, the acceptance of matter of truth, science, logic, telegnosis, causality, and also the belief of a bright future of mankind.
This is the connotation of the belief of Lifechanyuan, and its denotation is that Lifechanyuan would never ever break its word to society and people. We will keep our promises. If someone is disqualified as the Chanyuan Celestial and his or her name as Chanyuan Celestial is cancelled, his or her dedication to Lifechanyuan would be returned in full except for 2000 Yuan service fee. We would rather die than swallow one's words.
Why shall we take out 2000 Yuan as service fee? Because Chanyuan Celestial enjoys services provided by Lifechanyuan, and it's natural to dedicate once you have enjoyed. Reaping without sowing equals to exploitation, and it violates the law of justice and fairness.
Lifechanyuan is home to all Chanyuan Celestials. We would like to make every Chanyuan Celestial to know that our home is not only reliable and trustworthy but also brings security to everyone. Appropriate compensation must be returned to Chanyuan Celestial once he or she makes dedication to Lifechanyuan. Dedication to Lifechanyuan somehow resembles bank deposit. It always belongs to the Chanyuan Celestial who deposits it in person rather than someone else. He or she can take back the dedication anytime in accordance with his or her will. Except for the deduction of service fee, Lifechanyuan would make every effort to return the dedication in full number. Lifechanyuan will always keep promises and will never bear any burden of incredibility, both spiritually and mentally.
Without faith, man can not live in contentment, let alone be trusted and relied on by others. Man who is without faith can not be called a pure man; we can only regard it as a soul. Although others can be faithless and they can go back their words, Lifechanyuan as well as Chanyuan Celestial must be faithful and trustworthy, we mean what we say.
Be factual, realistic, dignified, imposing, honest and openhearted, all of which are virtues of Chanyuan Celestial. Only when we are faithful and credible, can we obtain these virtues.
Heaven is home to faithful and trustworthy people, while faithless people are doomed to go to Hell. We are destined to have a bright future so long as we keep our promises and be faithful.
Rather die than swallow one's words is one of the Lifechanyuan values.

Make the Best Use of Everything
Xue Feng
All things have the applicable, wonderful and strong point. Make the full use of it and there would be no waste. Shits, animals' excrements, are a fine fertilizer which will promote the growth of plant if being applied in the land.
We should make the best use of everything or it will be a waste or a profane or irreverence. Everything has its unique function, and there is no waste in nature. Even feces, dung beetles, or the falling leaves in autumn have their use too. It will be a satisfactory and equal state for the full use of everything.
As far as the human body is concerned, each organ has its specific function. While the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and feet should be in full use, the brain, sex organs, entrails should be in full use too. Only in this way can we live up to the will of the Greatest Creation.
It should be making the best use of everything， or grievances will arise and the nature will be repressed. The strength of horse is running, so let it run; the strength of cow is giving milk, so let it give milk; the strength of honey bees is pollinating a variety of plants and making honey, so let them pollinate and make honey.
As to human beings, some are good at singing or dancing, so let them sing or dance; some people are good at growing vegetables, some are good at nursing, some are good at studying, some have an aptitude for theory, and some have an aptitude for practice, so provide them opportunities for maximizing their strengths.
We should make the best use of everything, or it will be a destruction or contempt. The aircraft flying in the sky, the car running on the ground, the ship sailing in the water, they all have their own strengths; the African enjoys a good physical quality, the Western enjoys a good scientific and technological quality, the Asian enjoys a good quality in thinking; they all have their own strengths too. Beans are high in protein, vegetable are high in vitamin, fats and oils are high in fat; they all have their own strengths too. Everything has its merits and what should be used is to put their merits into full use. Of course, there is nothing improper for growing flowers with washbowls, ploughing with horse or taking the pen as chopstick, but their merit is wasted and it is a distortion of nature.
As to human society, everybody's ability should be brought into full play as much as possible. If those who engage in literature turn to scientific study, those who engage in music turn to acrobatics, and those who do farming work turn to business, it will be a great waste of manpower and also a great distortion and suppression of nature.
We should make the best of everything, including the best use of human potentials. In this way, the waste will be minimized and the strength will be maximized.
If someone lives powerless and accomplish nothing, the real reason is not that the man haven't got a gift but that the man's nature was not brought into full play, or people did not make the best use of his talents, or people use his talents in a wrong place or wrong way.
It is a waste to fire mosquitoes with cannon, and it is also a waste to tunnel with bullets or grenades.
Home without Marriage and Family must make the best use of everything, no matter it is a person or thing in Lifechanyuan, and the Lifechanyuan Era will make strive for this target too. All chanyuan celestials should educate themselves in this aspect.

The Standards of a Pure and Beautiful Soul
Xue Feng
Perhaps you have never lived in the kingdom of heaven, so you have no idea what it is like. Or maybe you once lived in heaven, but you have completely forgotten the life scenes of heaven due to a few cycles of transmigration. This does not matter; we still have ways to peep at the things in the kingdom of heaven. First of all, we must realize that the kingdom of heaven is a joyful, relatively free place in which there is no worries about food, clothes, living, transportation or birth, death, illness and old age; no interpersonal fight or attack; in which everyone get along with each other; no one would bully you, oppress you, hurt you or torture you.
Well, such a beautiful place! But how can we achieve that? By having a pure and beautiful mind. When everyone's mind is pure and beautiful, the place they live in is heaven! When we look back and think of the many people we met, some people brought us delight and joy, happiness and freedom which indicated that their souls were pure and fair; whereas, other people brought us distress and trouble, anxiety and pain which mean their souls were ugly.
The fact is as clean as a piece of white paper. Only those who have pure and beautiful minds can go to the kingdom of heaven. Only when we stay together with people who have pure and beautiful minds can we enjoy the blessing of the kingdom of heaven.
Well, how to recognize whether a person's mind is pure and beautiful? Please refer to the following standards.
The standards of a pure and beautiful soul
Appreciative, praising, reverent, trustworthy, honest, kind, diligent, unsophisticated, smart and lively, clean and neat, pure, modest, open-minded, forgiving, magnanimous, selfless, positive and optimistic, passionate, humorous, gentle and amiable.
1. Appreciation is a source of happiness, and a foundation to get along harmoniously with the Greatest Creator, nature and human populace.
2. Praise is a symbol of wealthy mind for a person. Praising the Greatest Creator, praising nature, and praising others is the symbol of a pure and beautiful soul.
3. Reverence means pious and respectful; it is the symbol of being clear-minded and self- understanding.
4. Trustworthiness is the symbol of being reliable. A man can't be trusted is nothing.
5. Honesty is an excellent quality which gives people a sense of dependable, stable, reliable and comfortable.
6. Kindness is the expression of respecting life as well as a guarantee to be harmonious with other life.
7. Diligence is a virtue and is the basic guarantee of survival, as well as the means of winning respect from others.
8. Unsophisticated is the state of non contamination, is the revelation of nature, and the Buddha state.
9. Smart and lively shows the vibrant life phenomenon, and it is the oneness of nature and man, the love for nature, the love for life, and the love for existence, is the symbol of full vitality.
10. Clean and neat is the portrayal of being civilized and well-bred
11. Pure reveals the state of being non hypercritic, non artificial, non superficial, truth- seeking and straight-talking.
12. Modest and gentle is the reflection of serenity, profound wisdom, grace and calmness, generosity.
13. Open-minded is the intangible state of reaching spiritual pure land, as well as the symbol of having beautiful and bright future.
14. Forgiving is the symbol of being magnanimous and calm as well as being mentally healthy.
15. Magnanimous represents the quality of being frank and forthright, radiant and elegant.
16. Selfless is a kind of state which represents a state of ask for nothing, yet having nothing and owns everything at the same time.
17. Positive and optimistic is the most important symbol of being healthy in spirit and mind.
18. Passionate is the symbol of being full of vigor, the process of creating beauty in life, and the artistry of life.
19. Humor and wit is the expression of being tactful, the life portraiture of being skilful, ease, natural, unrestrained and elegant.
20. Gentle and amiable is the catalyst of perfect life, the auxin of excellent quality, the yeast subliming of life, the detergent of blundering and weariness, the nourishing womb of joy and happiness, the midwife of happy life.
When a person has the above qualities, then he/she has the qualification of proceeding to the kingdom of heaven, and his future is bound to be in heaven. When we are staying with such people, delight, joy, freedom and happiness will be flowing continuously.
Only intelligent people know the value and significance of having the above mentioned qualities. Foolish people won't bother even to try.

The Eighteen Bottom-Lines to Be a Human
Deiform celestial
Butterfly flock around when flowers are blossoming. Virtue occupies when hearts rectified. The branches are thick when root is deeply embedded in the ground. Tao is generated when principles is set up. Lifechanyuan formulates eighteen bottom-lines to be a human. Those who break through the bottom-line will be regarded as demons and ghosts with evil spirit.
1. Be obedient to our parents
Our parents give us life. They are just like the sky above our head and the earth under our feet. They enable us to stand between the sky and the earth. No matter what our parents are like, they give life to us and nurture us on this land. The filial affection and obedience are children's obligation. No matter whom you are, an ordinary people or a president; no matter where you are, nearby or far away, to make your parents happy and live comfortable in your hometown are your absolute duties.
2. Never humiliate the ancestors.
The tree has a root and water has a source. Our ancestors are our roots and sources no matter they are moral or immoral. Humiliating the ancestors is really a degenerated behavior, which must draw down the wrath of Heaven. Therefore, what should be done is recalling the ancestor's merits with deep emotion, understanding their difficulties at the time, looking forward and moving for a better future.
3. Never insult the king
One principle of heaven is that the colony of ants, bees must have a king; everything has a core and human society also has kings. The principle of heaven must follow the way of heaven and it is impossible for human beings to get the secret of that. No matter what the name is, chairman or president; no matter how the position is taken, in-turn or lifetime; no matter what kind of personality the king is, integrity and talent or immorality and commonplace, he deserves to be respected not insulted.
4. Show reverence to the Greatest Creator
We know nothing about how vast the universe is, how wonderful all things on earth are, how profound the 36-dimensional space is and how mysterious the changes of time and space are. There are 18 inner contents in human body which are beyond the control of consciousness, such as the reason of dreaming, the spot of unconsciousness, and the track of lifetime and life itself, and we know nothing about these things. The way of death is also a puzzle. So how can't we are reference to the Greatest Creator! Blasphemy will cause the impossible opening of telegnosis and such an ignorant behavior is like a fool. We should be humble in front of the Greatest Creator all the time and should never degenerate to be an unruly man.
5. Seek truth from facts
The truth is the basis for justifying right or wrong, true or false, beautiful or ugly. Disregarding the truth is perverting the law even illegal. The behavior of creating something out of nothing, or fabricating information is with evil intentions in one's mind. Uncritical trust or comments without any support from the truth is the devil's skill. We should never fabricate the truth, ramble on about the facts, believe or follow others blindly, never make comments groundlessly. We should seek truth from facts before action. Everything we do should be based on truth.
6. Never bully widowers, widows, orphans, childless couples and other social vulnerable groups.
The fate of widowers, widows, orphans, childless couples and other social vulnerable groups is caused by their own faults. It is the result of retribution for bad deeds and they should not blame anyone or anything but themselves. In spite of this, their situation should not be a reason for people to bully them. Helping them get rid of this troublesome life is an important way to achieve the stage of God, Buddha, Celestial Being, sage and saint. What Jesus the Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, and the great man Mao Zedong had been struggling all their lives for the happiness of these people. This is a mark of consciousness.
7. Never destroy other people's homeland or animal's nesting sites.
Heaven loves people and people will enjoy their life. It is very natural for any creature to cherish and protect its life. Either imperial palaces or cave dwellings, either the birds' nests or the mammals' dens, all of these places are for protecting or nurturing one's life. Never take or destroy them by force.
8. Make a living by working and creating
The workers are beautiful. Creation is the source of happiness. Never steal, rob, plunder, practice graft or accept bribes; never commit swindle or crime imaginable.
9. Never hurt your brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends
Our brothers and sisters, neighbors and friends are valuable spiritual wealth in our lifetime. It is unacceptable to hurt them.
10. Never join in any religious or political organizations.
A man of noble character favors making friends with other people rather than forming cliques, while a vile character favors forming cliques rather than making friends. The ordinary people are simple, kind, honest and tolerant. They recognize their social positions and act according to traditional decorum. However, the followers of demons are treacherous, cunning, and unscrupulous; they are skilled in political tricksters and always assume that they would be lucky in successfully tricking. Any government is the result of political structure, and various political organizations or parties are just like tumors growing in the body human society.
11. Never take part in any superstitious activities.
Various characteristically secret or cryptic activities, such as praying and consulting an oracle, drawing divination sticks, fortunetelling, cham and ghost-catching, telepathize, E. T groups, angel groups, someone showing its presence and power, master opening the light, the coming of Christ, Reincarnation, being possessed by a demon, etc. are heterodox doctrines. One should not participate in these activities.
12. Never expose other's secrets.
Dig ancestral graves is exposing another one's secrets. Breaking into other people's home town or house is exposing their secrets. Doggedly pursuing others for taking candid pictures is exposing their secrets, while fixing cameras for observing other people's behavior is also exposing their secrets. Opening the secrets to the public which should be kept in secret is making exposure too. One should not disclose other's secrets.
13. Never commit fraud
Fraud is a demoniac nature. To commit fraud is to create demons. No matter what kind of fraud behavior it is, forged certificate, bogus diploma, fake identification, fake medicine, adulterated wine and foods, false claims, falsified accounts, fale certificates, misrepresented material facts, phony money, pretended feeling, or any other form of frauds, are strictly forbidden.
14. Keep promises and be trustworthy.
Keeping to what is promised is called being honest; carrying through what is promised is called being faithful. A dishonest man will never be successful, and he does not deserve the name of human being either. Please remember that never make rash promises, because every promise must be fulfilled. Being responsible to what is promised, even at the cost of your life.
15. Show respect for elders and teachers
From the teachers in kindergarten to the tutors in the college, from the masters teaching us by doing to the masters instructing our lifetime and life, it is them who had or have been accompanying us laboriously in our life. No matter what his or her character is or what professional abilities he or she may have, showing respect for elders and teachers is our duty. We should respect the elders, respect those who are superior to us in ages, positions, abilities, and intelligence, and also respect those people who made more contributions.
16. Love our country, love our hometown, and never defame our nation.
The mountains and rivers of our country nurture us; it needs being eulogized and protected. The root of a nation is the motherland and no matter how ugly the nation is, one should never break off his relationship with his motherland. No matter how critical you are at home, your fellow countrymen remain the same, and you should never demonize your nation and fellow men in front of other nationalities. The personality of a man should never get lost; a man who publicly besmirches himself will never be respected by others and never deserve that respect.
17. Show reverence to life and nature
All things on earth have spirits, all spirits have lives, all lives have feelings, all feelings have loves, and all loves have pains. Putting yourself in the places of other creatures, feeling their pains and hurts just as it's your pain and hurt, you will get a noble sentiment of revering life. Be not a butcher, be not a life maltreated man. Human beings rely on Nature for a living; Celestial and tress, mountains and rivers, winds, clouds, rain and snow, the sun, the moon and the star, so on and so forth, all things in nature please our eyes. We would not exist without them. Prostrate yourself in front of nature and revere it! Take good care of nature meticulously in the same way of embracing your lover!
18. Never deprive others of their freedom
Everybody has a right to enjoy freedom, whether a parent or a child, husband or wife. Don't injure or deprive others of their freedom for the benefit of your own. Ignoring the public hygiene will injure or deprive others of their freedom of enjoying clean and tidy environment; talking loudly in public places will deprive others' freedom of enjoying peaceful time; too loud voices of television will deprive neighbors' freedom of their peaceful and auspicious atmosphere in the rooms; stopping others to express their opinions freely is to deprive them of their freedom of speech. Everybody is free to follow his inclinations but the bottom line should be avoiding the injuries or depriving other people of their freedom.

Deiform celestial
Butterfly flock around when flowers are blossoming. Virtue occupies when hearts rectified. The branches are thick when root is deeply embedded in the ground. Tao is generated when principles is set up. Lifechanyuan formulates eighteen bottom-lines to be a human. Those who break through the bottom-line will be regarded as demons and ghosts with evil spirit.
1. Be obedient to our parents
Our parents give us life. They are just like the sky above our head and the earth under our feet. They enable us to stand between the sky and the earth. No matter what our parents are like, they give life to us and nurture us on this land. The filial affection and obedience are children's obligation. No matter whom you are, an ordinary people or a president; no matter where you are, nearby or far away, to make your parents happy and live comfortable in your hometown are your absolute duties.
2. Never humiliate the ancestors.
The tree has a root and water has a source. Our ancestors are our roots and sources no matter they are moral or immoral. Humiliating the ancestors is really a degenerated behavior, which must draw down the wrath of Heaven. Therefore, what should be done is recalling the ancestor's merits with deep emotion, understanding their difficulties at the time, looking forward and moving for a better future.
3. Never insult the king
One principle of heaven is that the colony of ants, bees must have a king; everything has a core and human society also has kings. The principle of heaven must follow the way of heaven and it is impossible for human beings to get the secret of that. No matter what the name is, chairman or president; no matter how the position is taken, in-turn or lifetime; no matter what kind of personality the king is, integrity and talent or immorality and commonplace, he deserves to be respected not insulted.
4. Show reverence to the Greatest Creator
We know nothing about how vast the universe is, how wonderful all things on earth are, how profound the 36-dimensional space is and how mysterious the changes of time and space are. There are 18 inner contents in human body which are beyond the control of consciousness, such as the reason of dreaming, the spot of unconsciousness, and the track of lifetime and life itself, and we know nothing about these things. The way of death is also a puzzle. So how can't we are reference to the Greatest Creator! Blasphemy will cause the impossible opening of telegnosis and such an ignorant behavior is like a fool. We should be humble in front of the Greatest Creator all the time and should never degenerate to be an unruly man.
5. Seek truth from facts

This is the life of Chanyuan Celestials
Xue Feng
First of all, we can only rely on Lifechanyuan Values; personal relationship is undependable, even Xue Feng or anyone of Chanyuan celestials are undependable.
Only through Lifechanyuan Values can it be possible for Chanyuan Celestials to live a happy life. Any intension to rely on somebody would lead to final desperation.
So, “everyone’s behaviors must be based on laws and disregard of people�; must be based on Lifechanyuan Values but not on Xue Feng. We can reach our destination as long as Lifechanyuan Values exists, no matter what happens to Xue Feng.
So, we must live with people who can resonate with Lifechanyuan Values; even if there are only three or four people who have mutual resonance in mind, they can live a happy life if they obey Lifechanyuan Values. Any ignorance of Lifechanyuan Values would incur troubles immediately. Personal promise is not something everlasting, they may turn hostile suddenly.
Then, how to illustrate Lifechanyuan Values on the topic of living style?
1. Never fight against the government; never participate in any activity disobedient to the government; never fight against any powerful people in any field; never fight against the boss of the company; be reserved, not display gallantry in front of people; remember that we are the humblest chanyuan celestials, we are the weakest men and we are the most useless people in the world.
2. Learn from the saints with virtue; follow the examples of the perfect men in history. Never play tricks or fish in trouble water but be frank, forthright, honest and sincere; never steal, rob, deceive, cheat, or defraud others even if at the edge of starving to death; never pick up the money on the ground which do not belong to you. It is only that “people do not take any articles left by the wayside� will it be possible for “doors are not bolted at night�. “Coveting the nourishing from domestic animal will make nature lose, profiting at other people's expense will not get sufficient treatment from Tao.� Your intentions should not offend heaven,earth and others. No hatred should exist in heart even you died of being wronged. The reason for such doing is for acquiring a peaceful mind and the natural greatness of the soul rather than for a good reputation. Be sure to keep in mind that: “Do not commit sins if you do not want to be punished� Have a clear consciousness, do not go astray.
3. Gradually reducing secular contacts, and getting touch with celestial beings. Be diligent in works, be penitent everyday. Not wasting time in beer and skittles, not showing off yourself. It is better to make people forget your existence. Try to be early in clearing of the secular debts and not to have new secular relationship but strive for getting to know more celestial beings. The journey in this world for us is to cut out any connection in the mortal world and make forward for the Celestial Islands Continent for our forever enjoyment.
4. Conceive Lifechanyuan as the Thousand-year world; as if nobody existing in the world except Chanyuan celestials and nothing is our business except chanyuan celestials. There is no marriage and no mutual possession for Chanyuan celestials; they may have sex freely because it is the real situation in the Thousand-year world, but remember that all behaviors should be natural and be based on real emotion instead of any plot. Keep in mind that “Indulging in a hobby saps one's will; indulging in a tricky saps one’s morality�.
5. Strive for the construction of the Second Home and rest all our hopes on the Greatest Creator, self-improvement and self-refinement. The Second Home would guarantee our survival and solution of our personal problems such as birth, death, illness and old age. Come to the Second Home if being abandoned by society and secular family, being in desperation or disease, getting bankrupt, being hit by a disaster, being old, lonely; come to the Second Home for the enjoyment of beautiful and free life. In short, if you want, you come. But there is a precondition here, you must be willing to give anything you have for the benefit of our brothers and sisters and lovers here, event at the cost of our own life. You must be willing to share what you have, at least you will not permit a single Chanyuan celestial staying hungry. You must be willing to go all out for saving any Chanyuan celestial from his/her troubles. And, there is still one more question for our consideration which is, anytime you are enjoying all of these, we should ask ourselves first: “What have I done for the construction of Lifechanyuan and the Second Home? What have I devoted?� We must be very clear that the boys and girls of Lifechanyuan are not stupid at all —— no insincere action or manner whatsoever is permit to return their honesty and kindness.
6. Follow the way of the Greatest Creator and no ganging up and knotting group, no making alliance for offense and defense, and be brave enough to bring everything we have into the open, being dignified and frank; we must be conscious that, anyone might turn hostile suddenly and everything can be a reason for being blackmailed. Therefore, everything between two people, even a letter, should be able to stand the test in public. In this home, all behaviors should be based on common value rather than personal relationship; otherwise, anyone’s criminal action might involve other guy, which is the so-called “A single slip may cause lasting sorrow�, any gangs or groups will bury yourself for other’s wrong doing or evil when the situation becomes critical. Be sure to bear in mind that “without a guilty conscience, without misgivings�.
7.“Set your self to a higher standard, do the best what you can, have an ordinary life �.You may earn much money but can not be pleasure-seeking. Be possible to take vegetables and corn flour as the ordinary food or even in vegetarian diet instead of reveling in dainties. “Lead a simple yet honest life rather than luxurious and extravagant one�. The principles of living standard be practical, no extravagance, no waste and no showing off. It is absolutely unnecessary to be luxury in daily use. “Think the hard work of growing of rice and of grain, whenever you dine; remember how silk is obtained which keeps you warm and looks fine.� Of course, it is also unnecessary to be as austere as a puritan, you should enjoy life when it is time to enjoy.
8. Anyone who gets into the Second Home and who loves baby may expect his/her own baby, but the baby will be educated without the concept of father and it is forbidden to make him/her known who his/her father is. The baby will be raised by the Second Home after being weaned; the baby will be educated to respect all of his/her elders, and regard all the male superiors as his/her father and all the female superiors as his/her mother. Every superiors must take the babies here as his/her own, loving them and taking care of them. Chanyuan celestials at old age will be supported by all of the Chanyuan celestials and the Second Home will designate for their specific nursing to the last moment of their mortal life. Each person will be designated for his favorite work, for example, those who love cleaning do cleaning job, those who love cooking do cooking job, those who love gardening do gardening job, and those who love making things do their makings; there is no superior job or inferior job here, and there is no difference in the amount of jobs. Every people must show the human’s essence of sincerity,kindness and beauty for providing the best services. No matter how much you contribute, the principle in the Second Home is non-ownership. The distribution will be made according to everybody’s specific needs and nobody would be possible to own anything except the life. If you want to be a director, you must live the worst room and take the worst food. This is the so-called “To be the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy comforts.� By this way, there will be no fight for power any longer.
The above eight items are the living style of Chanyuan Celestials. Seeing from the secular point view, this can be called Arabian Nights or foolish ideas. But for those who have understood the meaning and values of Lifechanyuan, they know that it is the best way to approach the higher level spaces of LIFE. You may think over the beneficiary of these upon reflection I mentioned.
