The Great Global Misunderstanding of Communism Xuefeng (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer) Western society regards communism as an evil beast, while oriental society misunderstands communism as sharing property and people, but a true communist society is actually a utopia, the Great Harmony, and a nickname of the Kingdom of the Greatest Creator. This misunderstanding was rooted in the wrong doing of global communist parties from the birth of Marxism. The mistakes of the whole communist international and the failure of really understanding the essence of communism by Lenin and Mao led to highly flawed executions. Communist society is the most humane, which should be realized by its lack of pain to any individual from the starting point. Real communism cannot be illustrated by the dictatorship of the proletariat or the theory of class warfare and does not support “power from the barrel of a gun”. New Oasis for Life of Lifechanyuan is a real communist society. We never apply dictatorship or the theory of class struggle, nor share possessions or partners, not even to deprive capitalists of their property. It was voluntarily built up by all the members, by moistening the honey and the dew of silent love. This fact speaks louder than words. Its illustration is the best touchstone. Communism is not an evil beast, but a real paradise in the mortal world. Just to look up the history and life mode of New Oasis for Life and you will understand real communism. |

The Road Map to Heaven Xuefeng Living on earth → Follow the teachings of Jesus, Saykamuni, Muhammad, Lao Tzu and Science →Enter Lifechanyuan → Study Lifechanyuan Values → Become a Chanyuan celestial →Unconventional Thinking → Purify one’s soul→ Shift consciousness, and change one’s LIFE structure → Enter the New Oasis for Life → Meet the standard of “Thousand-year World” →Understanding the major eight ways of thinking → Meet the standard of “Ten-thousand year World” → Understanding the eight secrets of LIFE → Go to “Elysium World” Description When you still live on the earth: 1. You first need to learn and understand the wisdom and teachings of Jesus, Saykamuni, Muhammad and Lao Tzu, and study scientific knowledge, on which basis enter Lifechanyuan, study and understand the contents in Chanyuan Corpus and Xue Feng Corpus, also listen to the thoughts of Chanyuan Masters and learn their wisdom. 2. Try to become a Chanyuan celestial after that, once you are a Chanyuan celestial, you must train yourself to think in an unconventional way; breaking all superstitions and shackles that confine human nature, gradually get away from the bondage that the ideas of traditional family, country, political party and religion have on your mind.And consciously sweep the dust and stains on your soul just like wiping off the dust on a mirror; let your mind and behaviours exhibit towards the direction of sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith and honesty. 3. Then we need work hard on the core of self-cultivation, putting efforts on shifting our consciousness, let our mind go into “non-material world”- although our body residents on the earth, our mind stays in heaven. From this step we can further come to the New Oasis for Life, experience the new lifestyle copied from “Thousand-year World”. 4. Finally, practice Chanyuan meditation, in this way, you can be ensured to go to the “Thousand-year World”; If you want to go to “Ten-thousand-year World” instead, you need to grasp the secrets of eight ways of thinking, and you can surely go to the “Ten-thousand-year world”; However, if you don’t want to stop there, you need to understand the eight secrets of LIFE thoroughly, once you reach that stage, you are able to go to “Elysium World” at any time. The theory is just simple as that, and the road map is very clear, but it is not easy to really follow it and meet the standard. May 7, 2006 |
Eight Criteria for Individual Freedom Xuefeng (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer) An advancing Life ascends from the realm of necessity toward that of freedom, while a regressive one retreats in the opposite direction. If we want to climb to a higher-level space of LIFE, we must strive to move toward the free kingdom. What are the criteria for complete freedom of the individual? In other words, what criteria do individuals need to achieve the realm of freedom? 1. Sexual Freedom 2. Lack of Responsibilities and Obligations 3. Lack of Cares 4. Lack of Close Personal Relationships 5. No one to Answer for You 6. No Answering for Anyone Else 7. Doing as You Wish Without Overstepping Basic Law 8. Managing and Governing Yourself We will examine each in detail: 1) Sexual freedom: As long as an individual and their partner are willing, when and how they make love should be their unrestricted decision. Only common sense manners should dictate the proper time and place. 2) Lack of responsibilities and obligations: Just as flowers grow, bloom, and pollinate, everything is natural and voluntary, not forced by responsibilities or obligations. Once there are even the least amount of responsibilities and obligations, freedom is lost. A newborn baby lives on milk and its mother gives her breast, but this is natural and voluntary, brings pleasure to both, and is not done out of responsibility. 3) Lack of cares: “Own nothing, own everything!” Act freely and have no cares. Once you care for something, your freedom is lost. 4) Lack of close personal relationships: Once you have close familial relationships, you have obligations and responsibilities, and once you have friends and lovers, you have to care for them. Therefore, friends, relatives and lovers are obstacles to freedom. 5) No one to answer for you: You need to solve your own problems and expect no one to solve them for you. Deal with your own necessities of life, such as food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, old-age, illness, and death naturally and with neither regrets nor complaints. 6) Do not answer for anyone: Answer to the Greatest Creator and for yourself, but not to anyone else. 7) Doing as you wish without overstepping basic law: Do as you wish but never overstep the basic law. You can do as you wish, but always revere the Greatest Creator, revere LIFE, revere nature, and never harm LIFE or nature. Managing and governing yourself: As long as one is managed, supervised, governed, or controlled by others, they have no freedom. This means that individuals who have reached the highest level of quality and accomplishment will have achieved the highest realm of civilization, so they will not need to be managed, supervised, governed or controlled by others because they will naturally interact with others, both harmoniously and efficiently.September 18, 2008 |
One Root can Give Birth to Thousands of Branches, Accept the one Root as the Fundamental —— Culture Building of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) Part Eight Xuefeng "Therefore the Sage embraces the One, And becomes the model of the world."--"Tao Te Ching" "One does not serve two masters."--Bible "Matthew" Chanyuan celestials worship only one master, the Greatest Creator that possesses eight characteristics of the only, non-form, neutrality, the mysterious, impartiality, mercy, superpower, and wisdom. Respect all the other god, Buddha, celestial being (Bodhisattva, angel), and saint, but do not worship them. Chanyuan celestials obeys the overall arrangement of only one government, the global government. Chanyuan celestials follow only one guide Xuefeng, the founder of Lifechanyuan. The above is the soul and tenet that a Chanyuan celestial must adhere to, anyone who deviates from this point will no longer be the Chanyuan celestial in Lifechanyuan. The above three principles are the basic guarantees to realize the ideal of joyful, happy, free, and blessed life, to achieve the ultimate goal of entering the Thousand -Year World, Ten Thousand-Year World, and Celestial Island Continent of Elysium World, and to create the era of Lifechanyuan for mankind. Deviation from the Greatest Creator is deviation from the source and deviation from the root, and is thus the wood that has lost its root and the water that has lost its source. Anyone who does not obey the overall arrangement of the global government is the arch criminal , the goblin, ghost, demon and monster that creates turmoil, war, disaster, and confusion. If Chanyuan celestials do not follow the guide, they will become solitary wandering souls, and blind souls who have lost the way. We must build this culture, namely revere and worship the Greatest Creator, obey the global government and follow the guide. Worshipping other celestial beings or figures is practicing evil ways. Obeying any other organization is going the evil way. Following any other celestial beings or figures is going the evil way. Chanyuan celestials should carefully bear in mind and be on their guard when someone comes to tell you that Xuefeng also has limitations ,what he says should be doubted and he is not worthy of being trusted, this person is the mouthpiece for demons. Chanyuan celestials should keep in mind and be on your guard when someone comes to tell you that without following the guide one can also realize the ideal of life and LIFE and accomplish all one's wishes. This person is the offspring of demons. Chanyuan celestials should be on their guard when someone comes to speak ill of the guide and tries to convince you to follow him or someone else, because this person is trying to lead you to hell. You don't believe me? Then just try it. Once you deviate from the direction of the guide, you will very soon face bewilderment, anxiety, worry, distress, puzzle, hesitation, depression, fear, stress, argument, quarrel, and fight, followed by pain, misfortune, disaster, and trouble. Upon reading the above remarks, some people may tell you that Xuefeng is practicing personality cult and dictatorship, and that he intends to cheat people of their money, beauty, and angle for position and fame, then you should use your mind and make observation. you should judge by yourself whether the colossal system of Chanyuan Corpus and Xuefeng Corpus has anything to do with what is mentioned above, you must come to the the Second Home and experience for yourself the new life pattern created by the guide Xuefeng, and decide whether Xuefeng is practicing personality cult and dictatorship, and whether Xuefeng intends to cheat people of their money, take advantage of their beauty, and angle for position and fame. You must use your independent consciousness, your own wisdom, and spiritual perception, you must use your own practice and facts instead of depending on hearsays to judge rights and wrongs, kindness, evils, and virtue and ugliness. If you think that the guide Xuefeng is really being arbitrary in circumstances, then you must consider whether his so-called dictatorship conforms to your wish and ideal. If it does, he is not being a dictator, he is taking good care of you. If it does not conform to your wish and ideal, then you can regard him as a dictator, and you can leave Xuefeng and go looking for other path of life and LIFE. |
Eliminate Greed, Corruption, Laziness, Extravagance and Selfishness --the Culture Building of the Second Home(now New Oasis for Life) Part Six Xuefeng Corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste are the archenemy of civilization, are the character and behavior of demons, are the cancer on the body, are the viruses of depravity and the cozy home, are the pathway to evils, are the poison that erodes the beautiful soul, and are the undercurrent, reef and quicksand that hinder man's evolution toward the era of Lifechanyuan. In order that we can create a cultural environment in which everyone is joyful, happy, free and blessed, in order to ensure that man and nature, and man and man live in harmony and peace, and in order to realize the most beautiful wish and most sublime ideal of man, we should prevent the occurrence of corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste, we should thoroughly get rid of the soil for the breeding and growth of these six evils, otherwise, the mansion of civilization will collapse because it is built on the fluctuating quicksand. First, every Chanyuan celestial must understand that, no matter how much sweat and effort we have made for the home, and no matter how much contribution we have made to the home, our purpose is to pay back our debts accumulated over different lives and build up the wealth and treasure for our journey to the heavenly kingdom, instead of acquiring more benefits and interests from the home than ordinary Chanyuan celestial. Any contribution and devotion should not be an excuse for our corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste in the Second Home, and should not be a bargaining counter and standard for the formation of the special interest group that stands high above the masses. Everything in the second home belongs to all Chanyuan celestials. Anyone will be suspected of corruption even if he or she has kept in hand only one cent, one needle, or one thread; anyone will be suspected of depravity even if he or she has enjoyed privately a standard of life only slightly higher than that of an ordinary Chanyuan celestials; Anyone will be suspected of laziness if he or she has not worked six hours efficiently for the home every day; Anyone will be suspected of extravagance if he or she has enjoyed a standard of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation higher than the average standard for ordinary people; Anyone will be suspected of selfishness if he or she, in addition to the satisfaction of basic demand, occupies and enjoys the resources of the home and control others in spirit and soul and hinders other's freedom ;Anyone will be suspected of waste if he or she has exceeded basic standard in the aspect of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation and has hindered the principle of full utilization of resources and man's talents. How can we prevent the occurrence of corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste in the Second Home ? First, we should constantly learn and understand "800 Values for New Era Human Being", We should always uphold the eight hundred values, and make sure that every Chanyuan celestial living permanently or temporarily in the home builds the most noble wish, sets up the great and lofty ideal, cultivates noble moral character, sublimates the realm of LIFE, exhibits the sincerity, kindness, virtue, love, faith, and honesty in the depth of soul, willingly and voluntarily learn and follows the example of saints, lights up the magical lamp in the mind, constantly remains alert and prevents himself or herself from depravity, and establishes a moral court in his or her own conscience and make a judgment of oneself. Secondly, we should eliminate the private ownership, guarantee that everyone has nothing but owns everything, solve for everyone the issue of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, living, aging, and death, solve the issue of supporting the old people and raising and educating the children, solve the issue of physiological need, enrich spiritual and cultural life. And promote the taste of life. At the same time, we should do away with the soil for the contention of power, interests, positions, money, fame, and beautiful women, and make sure that there is no power worth contending for, no special position available for occupation, no money available for embezzlement, no fame for people to capitalize on, and no beauty to be privately possessed. Thirdly, every Chanyuan celestial shall exercise the right to be the master of the home, and have the freedom of speech. Everyone can speak freely, and we should not limit the freedom of speech, we should not take revenge on and punish those who speak out their opinions. Every week a special meeting of exchange shall be held for everyone to expose the corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste that has occurred in the home. We should check the erroneous ideas at the outset. When any trace of such trend is discovered, it should be checked and banished timely. We should uphold the principle that the criticism shall be aimed at affairs rather than at a certain person. We should have a strict attitude to affairs but a gentle attitude to people. We should not casually apply principles to anything, we should not casually mete out punishment, we should always remember that none of us is perfect, and that everyone is likely to commit mistakes. We should make sure that those people who have made mistakes have enough time to repent and correct their mistakes and improve their character. We should forgive those who have made mistakes, and always bear in mind that every Chanyuan celestial is our sister, brother, relative and lover instead of our competitor or enemy. No matter whether the home is in favorable or adverse situation, it should consistently combat corruption, embezzlement, laziness, extravagance, selfishness, and waste, and eliminate the soil, climate, environment and condition for the birth of these six evils in the home's operation procedure of production and life. Only in this way, can we create a comfortable, harmonious, lively and energetic situation of production and life, where unified will exist together with pleasant individual feeling. Only in this way, can we shoulder the task of creating the era of Lifechanyuan for mankind, and pilot the era of Lifechanyuan for mankind. Only in this way can we reach the highest realm of life and LIFe and arrive at the ultimate destination of life and LIFE. |
Believe in and Rely on the Home —the Culture Building of the Second Home(now New Oasis for Life) Part Five Xuefeng "At home we rely on our parents, in the society we depend on our friends", this is one part of the traditional culture. To survive and develop in the actual human society, people mainly depend on interpersonal relations--parents, husband, wife, children, sisters and brothers, relatives and friends, classmates and associates, leaders and subordinates, and so on. As a result, the relations between people become extremely complicated and entangled. If anything adverse happens to the relation that you depend on, it may trigger a series of interpersonal disputes and emotional turmoil--concessions, resignation to exploitation, suppression and depression, oppression and exploitation, jealousy and complaint, resentment, intrigue against each other, scheming against each other, contention, flattery, cheating, rising to bate, anger and revenge, abuse and maltreatment, mental torture, control of the soul, and the like. Once you change and place your trust on the second home, all these ugly phenomena will disperse like dark clouds. Every Chanyuan celestial's food, clothing, shelter, transportation, living, health and diseases are taken care of by the home, the elderly people are supported by the home, the children are raised and educated by the home, and the freedom of emotional love and sex love is guaranteed by the home. The home provides the stage for every chanyuan celestial to fully exhibit their ambition and talent. Thus, we can surely shift from our dependence on interpersonal relations in the traditional culture to the dependence on the home. Accordingly interpersonal relations will become pure and simple, natural and harmonious. People will live in happiness and love. We should build our belief in and dependence on the Greatest Creator, the home and ourselves. We should not believe in and depend on man. Belief in and dependence on man will lead to tragedy of life, and a series of bewilderment and pain. Belief in and dependence on man will prove to be our own and others’ encumbrance and spiritual burden, belief in and dependence on man will surely make one become the servant and sacrifice of others and make it impossible to lead a life of one's own. How do we believe in and depend on the home? We shall regard the home as the place where we can settle down and lead a quiet life, as the stage where we can fully utilize our talents, as the best environment where we can obtain joy, happiness, freedom and blessing, and as the fertile soil where we can bring into full play our sincerity, kindnesses, virtue, love, faith, and honesty. We shall regard each Chanyuan celestial as our sisters, brother, relative and lover. Love the home, unselfishly devote one’s talent and wisdom to the home, carefully and conscientiously do every job that one has chosen in the home according to one's interest and hobbies, strive to do his or her best and achieve the best performance, contribute every day to the home more than one gets from it, meanwhile continuously sublimate the quality of LIFE, perfect his or her own non material structure of LIFE, continuously make way to the highest realm of life and LIFE, and realize one' long-cherished wish and ideal. How can we believe in and depend on the home? Upholding"800 Values for New Era Human Being" is the fundamental guarantee for the realization of the wish of the individual and the ideal of the home. |
Freedom of Emotional Love and Sex Love ——the Culture Building of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) Part Four Xuefeng Emotional love is the precious gift endowed to mankind by the Greatest Creator, sex love is the highest order of game, as well as an effective initial approach to become a Buddhist believer, to gain enlightenment and reach the realm of Elysium. Fully enjoying emotional love and sex love accords the will of the Greatest Creator, and is a part of beautiful life that cannot be ignored and expropriated. It is an important connotation of the culture building of the Second Home to ensure that everyone fully enjoys emotional love and sex love and protect everyone’s freedom to fully enjoy emotional and sex love. Any suppression or expropriation of this freedom is inhuman and goes against the will of the Greatest Creator. There is no family, no marriage, and husband-wife relationship in the Second Home. Once inside the the Second Home., everyone is free and is free from any bondage and shackles in the matter of emotional love and sex love. On the basis of mutual consent and within the code of civility, one will not be subject to any form of restraint and supervision in his or her emotional life and sex life. Anyone who attempts to limit and supervise other's freedom of emotional love and sex love has deviated the values of Chanyuan and will not be entitled to live in the the Second Home. No one should usurp or control others, no one should treat others as his or her private properties, no one should interfere in other's emotional love and sex love, no one should expropriate other's freedom of emotional love and sex love. In other fields of life we should get rid of the consciousness of feudal autocracy, eliminate oppression and private ownership. In the field of spirit, soul, and flesh, we should also get rid of the consciousness of feudal autocracy, eliminate oppression and private ownership. Jealousy indicates the ugliness of one's soul. Jealousy, complaints, resentment, and hatred manifested in emotional and sex love are the symbols of an ugly soul. It is morally criminal to restrict, control, monitor, supervise, and hinder other's freedom of emotional love and sex love out of jealousy. In the Second Home., any form of emotional and sex love is free. One is free to live all by himself. Two people are free to live together faithfully and refrain from any emotional and sexual relations with any third person. One is also free to have more than one emotional and sexual partners. One is also free to have unlimited number of emotional and sexual partners. Everything goes on in accordance with one's own free will. This is private affair not public affair. The second home respects everyone’s will, personality, and hobbies. No one should impose his or her will and values upon others. Those who like bread should not limit other people’s like for noodles. Those who do not like apples should not forbid others to eat apples. The home encourages the blooming of all flowers, like the eight celestial beings that each display their own special skills in crossing the sea. The home provides the stage for the full and comprehensive blooming of gorgeous flowers of human characters. For thousands of years in human history, as a result of erroneous consciousness of emotional love and sex love and artificial limitation, improper moral norms and commandments have been established in different countries, causing countless people to have been treated unfairly. Human character has been severely suppressed, the originally beautiful things have been messed up. Actually very simple things have been complicated, things that are pure and noble in nature have been treated as humble and dirty. What should have been a comedy turned out to be a tragedy. Such situations should not continue, the original purity and simplicity of things should be restored so that every one can fully enjoy the pleasure of emotional love and sex love, and every one leads a happy, pleasant, free and blessed life. And this is an important part of our culture building. Since man is still in the backward and ignorant state at present, in the situation of competition and struggle governed by the rule of jungles, and in the war of survival centering on the selfish possession of resources, we face severe challenge and difficulty in building a culture that makes sure everyone fully enjoys emotional and sex love. The road ahead is fraught with twists and turns and great risks. Without a firm will, one is likely to be swallowed up by the secular outlook on emotional love and sex love at any time. The wind and waves of the secular world may overturn our boat of new culture. However, the society is moving forward, people are awakening, and more and more people have realized that the traditional views on emotional love and sex love have caused great misfortune and pain to mankind, especially to individuals. We firmly believe that as long as we stick to our belief and as long as we are patient, the new culture of the Second Home. is bound to be widely accepted by people, a brand-new way of life will bring happiness and light to mankind, and the Lifechanyuan era surely come to us. 2010/2/22 |
Be Frank and Honest--the Culture Building of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) Part 3 Xuefeng We should put an end to autocracy and dictatorship, we shall make sure that all kind, hardworking, simple, and faithful people enjoy pleasant, joyful, free and happy life, and we will build a good culture and environment, where there is no oppression, no exploitation, no suppression, no destruction, no maltreatment, no infliction, and no discrimination, where all people are equal, people care and love each other and live harmoniously, and where people share weal and woe. Firstly, people who speak frankly shall not be subject to revenge and retaliation and threat. Anyone who has some opinion to contribute shall be encouraged, respected, heard, and paid attention to, as long as he is speaking the truth, as long as he is not deliberately provocative and does not make groundless speculation, as long as he is not unreasonable and does not talk nonsense, as long as he does not aim to stir up trouble and instigate, as long as he does not create difficulties and form a clique to pursue selfish interest, as long as he does not attack for personal spite, as long as he does not expose others' privacy and land them in an embarrassing situation. Since the guide Xuefeng plays a critical role in this second home of ours, and I myself is not perfect, you should be strict with me, so that you can prevent the guide from becoming an unsatiable autocrat and destroying this beautiful home that has been built with your hard work. Every sister, brother and lover should speak out frankly, help me, and save me instead of fomenting my mistakes whenever he or she discovers that I practice favoritism, that I take advantage of my power to bully people, that I maltreat any Chanyuan celestial, that I deviate from the values of Chanyuan, that I reserve privileges for myself, that I threaten or harm anybody, or that I have caused the harm of spirit, soul, and flesh to any sister or brother. If my words and behaviors have offended you, please point them out frankly, and do not let me be misled and mistakenly think that you like my words and behaviors, to such an extent that I become swellheaded and always have my way. Please tell me frankly if I have not handled affairs fairly, if I take part with someone, or if I practice bureaucratism and oppression. If I retaliate somebody for his frankness, then I have degenerated into a demon. Then the guide has lost his reason and is not worth trusting. We should speak frankly about the guide, we should also speak frankly about every Chanyuan celestial in the home. No one in this home can be left out. Everyone should accept others' frank opinion. Anyone who harbors discontent and hatred for others' kind and frank words and resort to retaliation is not sincerely engaging in self-refinery and self-cultivation and thus should be criticized by the guide. The best way for frank speech is to reserve one night every week for a meeting of exchange in the home. Everyone shall speak frankly in the public if they have some opinions concerning some matter, if they feel that they are wronged, if they feel that they are not treated fairly, if they feel that they have sustained someone's maltreatment and harms to their spirit, soul and flesh, or if they find that the sister or brother of the home has deviated the values of Chanyuan in speech and actions. All problems should be resolved publicly instead of privately. We should build a culture in which everyone can speak frankly. We Chanyuan celestials should all be superhuman. He will not be a qualified Chanyuan celestial and a frank person if he does not speak frankly about the wrongs, unfair treatment, and oppression he has suffered. A person who does not speak frankly is absolutely not an honest person, he is either a cunning and sly double-dealer or a good-for-nothing. With the exception of privacies, everything in the Second Home should be transparent and exposed to the sunlight. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to create the era of Lifechanyuan for mankind, and we will not be entitled to guide the whole mankind. Privileged class and special interest groups are not allowed in the Second Home. At the same time, we should not practice egalitarianism, because we have the noblest wish in self-refinery and self-cultivation, and everything that we do is for the sake of perfecting ourselves and reaching the best realm of life and LIFE. We do not aim to obtain any personal benefit and interest from the home. Open the windows and the sunlight and fresh air will come in.Take a broad view and you will see faraway mountains are fresh and green. If everybody speaks frankly, the dark cloud will be dispersed and decay will be turned into miracle. Then we can create an ideal environment and a beautiful future, set an example for mankind and eventually realize our most beautiful future. |
Be Always Grateful--the Culture Building of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) Part 2 Xuefeng Gratitude is the primary element for the sublimation of the quality of LIFE. To become Chanyuan celestial, one must be grateful; to enter the Second Home, one must be grateful. How can one not be grateful for escaping the programme of the secular world and enjoying the great pleasure of life in the Second Home ? What else do we want? the Second Home takes charge of our food, clothing, shelter, transportation, living, aging, illness, and health, and we need not toil and worry about supporting the old and raising the young. Our work is simple, and we need not be overloaded with trifles. With a lot of sisters, brothers, and lovers, we are no longer lonely and solitary; with free and open love, we are no longer depressed, melancholy, and distressed. Since we have achieved the state of having nothing and at the same time possessing everything, we need no longer worry about possession; since we have the stage to fully exhibit our personality and talent, we no longer need to fear that our talent will not be put to good use; since we are far away from the secular world, we no longer feel anxious about the intrigue, scheming and cheating between each other; since we have our guide to lead us, we need not worry about the future of our LIFE......What else do we want? Man should not be greedy. Do you think there is an end to it if you still feel unsatisfied when living in such a cultural atmosphere and environment, still feel that you have not treated yourself fairly, still dislike this or that, still make endless complaints, and find faults with everything? Without a sense of gratitude, you will have an unsatiable desire, you will feel unsatisfied, you will grumble with complaints, you will make trouble, you will become lazy, you will be fastidious, you will have a bee in your bonnet, you will feel only you are capable, you will feel others owe you a lot, you will complain and find faults, you will try to control and hold others in sway, you will stir up trouble and sow discord between people, you will hurt others in words, you will cause endless trouble and suffering to your sisters, brothers, and lovers, and you will not be able to concentrate on your work. With a sense of gratitude, you will have a clear consciousness and mind, you will not ask for too much, you will not keep your eyes on other people's shortcomings, you will not loaf around without anything to do and without anything on mind, you will not attempt to control and usurp others, you will not attempt to impose your own will upon others, you will not restrict others' joy, happiness, blessing and freedom, you will not have jealousy, complaint, and comparison, you will not lose temper and have a lot of discontent and grievances, you will not feel that others are bullying and restraining you, and you will not be disheartened and listless when you meet some setbacks. With a sense of gratitude, you will bring joy and pleasure to others and yourself, you will not feel the poverty and hardship of life, you will not feel depression, you will feel everything is wonderful and satisfying, you will be broad-minded and refreshed, you will have unselfish love and devotion, you will always compliment and encourage others instead of finding fault and complaining to others, you will be forgiving and tolerant to others mistake and faults, you will form harmonious, amiable and loving relationship with the environment and people, and you will have great enthusiasm and passion and devote completely to the cause of man's happiness. Before we realize our ideals, we should always keep in mind that none of us is perfect and we all need further sublimation, and that we should not stop at where we were yesterday. Since neither we ourselves nor others are perfect, we should forgive and tolerate each other, while tolerance derives from the gratitude in our soul. The sense of gratitude in every Chanyuan celestial should be a cultural characteristic of the Second Home. As long as we have a sense of gratitude, there will be no mountain of flame that we cannot climb across, there will be no difficulty that we cannot overcome, and there will be no temporary plight that we cannot put up with, because the sense of gratitude can reach heaven and earth and human nature. As long as we have the sense of gratitude, we will get the love from Buddha and the Greatest Creator, and we can get out of the temporary plight and change for the better. Be always grateful over everything and eventually you will reach your ideal destination! |

Build Great Faith--Cultural Construction in the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life) Part 1 Xuefeng The type of faith will decide the type of soul; the type of soul will decide the type of culture; and the type of culture will decide the way of life and production and the operation mechanism of society. The cultural construction in the Second Home of Lifechanyuan has a direct bearing upon our way of life and production and operation mechanism of society, and has a direct bearing upon whether we can ascend to the highest realm of life and LIFE and realize our ultimate ideal. The paramount principle for the cultural construction of the Second Home is the building of great faith, the great faith in Buddha and the Greatest Creator, the great faith in Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, immortal Lao Tze, the Prophet Mohammed, and the great man Mao Zedong, and the great faith in the guide Xuefeng. Without these three great faiths, it will be impossible to build healthy culture, and people will lose their direction, and will fall asunder and plunge into chaos. The resulting internal strife will waste time, energy, material, and mental efforts. As a result, it will be impossible to pioneer the era of Lifechanyuan, in which “the worthy person can fully utilize his talents, the whole world is like one family”, ““No one will keep lost articles found on the roadside, and the houses need not be bolted at night”, in which everything will be in complete harmony, the weather will be good for harvest, and everyone will be happy, free and pleasant, and in which all methods are unified into one general principle and all religions are unified into one uniform religion. What is great faith? Great faith is complete belief and trust without any suspicion. Great faith means trusting what you understand and what you do not understand for the moment. Every Chanyuan celestial must read "The Greatest Creator" thoroughly, and then read "Revelation" in connection with his or her life experience, so as to build great faith in the Greatest Creator. Without the great faith, it is like water without source and wood without root. Every Chanyuan celestial must read "Matthew", "Mark ","Luke ","John", and "Gospel of Judas ",and have profound knowledge of "Diamond Sutra ", "Heart Sutra", and "Tao Te Ching", worship Mohammed and Islamic spirit, learn Mao Zedong 's spirit of serving the people with heart and soul, form the most sublime wish and build the great faith in Jesus Christ, Sakyamuni, Lao Tze, Mohammed, and Mao Zedong. Every Chanyuan celestial should read Chanyuan Corpus and Xuefeng Corpus thoroughly, know about the guide Xuefeng,and build the great faith in the guide Xuefeng. You can ask yourself who in this world can inherit and carry forward the wisdom of God, Buddha, celestial being, sages and saints in a comparatively systematic and complete manner. Who can build a systematic and complete and comprehensive theoretical system on the origin of the universe, the origin of LIFE, the origin of mankind, the time and space of the universe, life,LIFE and science ?Who can practically lead people away from the sea of tribulations? Who can make people sleep well, eat well, and play well, and both eliminate their fear, worry and anxiety over food, clothing, shelter, transportation, living, illness and death, and at the same time make sure they fully exhibit their personality and enjoy the pleasure of life? Who can create a beautiful environment where there is both unified will and pleasant feeling, and where there is no suppression, exploitation, bullying, and oppression? Who knows the secrets of the heavenly kingdom and leads people towards and ultimately into the heavenly kingdom? Certainly Xuefeng can do this. If you would not believe in such kind of a person, then may I ask what else we can believe in and who else we can believe in. "Comparison can tell who is superior and who is inferior ". You can make a comparison of all people in the history of mankind and all people of the present time. If any one of them can surpass Xuefeng in words and actions, then you can abandon the guide Xuefeng immediately. Faith is truth, love is LIFE. Faith can accomplish everything. Small faith accomplishes small thing, great faith accomplishes great thing. Without faith one will not know what course to take and will accomplish nothing. With great faith, you can overcome all difficulties and hardships in life, you can light up the magical lamp in your heart and illuminate the road ahead, you can get rid of passivity, pessimism and form a positive and optimistic attitude, and you can pursue the sun and get away from darkness, and finally reach the soul mountain indomitably. We should build this cultural atmosphere, namely the great faith in the Greatest Creator, the great faith in Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, the immortal Lao Tze, the prophet Mohammed, and the great man Mao Zedong, and the great faith in the guide of Lifechanyuan Xuefeng--this is the core of culture building of the Second Home. |

I Pursue No Success Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) I do what I like to do I follow my inner voice Let my nature burst like a fully blossomed flower ****** If god wants me to be a big tree I will try to extend my hands to the blue sky If becoming a wildflower is my destiny I will do my utmost to show my beauty ****** I’m a stream, why bother compare with rivers I’m a little grass, why compete with a peony for beauty Everything is part of god’s blueprint No one is noble or humble ****** Life is just a journey The sceneries are my guardian angels Why should I copy others and ignore my nature Chasing after success is twisting my nature ****** I don’t want to be great nor do I care success Every day, I just want to show my true self No matter what I achieve in the end I only want a beautiful journey ****** I’m not a warrior of life Nor a guard of some doctrine I have no interest in competing with masters They have their talents I have my own fun ****** I just want to be a little bee Flying through the mountains and plains It feels so good to be ordinary No longer lift my neck to pretend I’m tall ****** Tiny bridge, flowing brook, and cottages worn road, west wind and lean horse Even living in the remotest corner I will find myself happiness ****** Let me just live in the quiet small village Having joy with crickets and sparrows Winter goes, spring comes, Feeling the coolness and softness of breeze ****** Please go after success and greatness Let me stay in New Oasis for Life Take care of each other |
The Furthest Distance of All Xue Feng (translated by conglong) is not that we are ignorant of love, but the secular world is a dam that stops rivers from sharing water. is not that love can’t burn, but the gossips and naysayers are sharp always to cool the flames of passion. It burns, but buried deep within the heart. The Furthest Distance of All is we have shared love for many years and are together still, but we must separate. I cannot live without you, but must feign not to care, and cry bitterly in silence. is not as simple as I miss you, but the divide is so great that silently we weep even when together. The Furthest Distance of All is not the length of the Yangtze River, but that I could not find you, though I searched from source to end. is not that the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers never meet, but when I see your name in Lifechanyuan, I do not see the most precious gift bestowed by God. The Furthest Distance of All are the trails of two hearts that never converge. I know it is there, but just beyond the shadows. is like the meteor in flight; if meeting is our fate, we will surely meet in Elysium. The Furthest Distance of All is the distance between human and celestial: one is on earth; the other is in heaven. |
You must Come From Heaven Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) You smile and talk gently as white clouds from above You walk quietly as the swinging willow You are sweet as the spring water Clean and pure Your love is transparent and pure flows with fragrance Your affections are sincere as the lasting spring Green lands all year round You kiss freely because you come from heaven You must come from heaven because you are born of love You are here only for love and affection You have come a long way to share love It is the gentle breeze and the dancing bamboo Climb to the summit of a hill and my eyes see it Walk into the valley and my ears hear it Seeing you, I see flowers and birds Hearing you, I hear clear spring water in the mountains Beauty is everywhere It is all you You fill my heart with endless joy You are the source of greatness I met you in heaven, unforgettable that you are Like a bee fluttering in a sea of flowers Life is so beautiful, because of your fragrance LIFE is so brilliant, because I am nurtured by your love No more wandering, let us return to the faraway place No more hesitation Hand in hand, let us return home: – Heaven – ***Written by Xuefeng on Mar 01 2012*** |
What Has the Practice of the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life)Proved Xuefeng Lifechanyuan has successfully created the Second Home as the pattern of man's new life. During ten months of practice of the Second Home, especially the celebration of the Spring Festival in 2010 by nearly 60 people, people enjoyed joy, pleasure,freedom, happiness, good luck, auspiciousness, coziness, peace, and elegance. No one has lost temper, no one feels unhappy, no one feels unpleasant, and no one feels unsatisfied. The facts have proved that the life pattern of the Second Home is civilized, elegant, advanced, and humanistic. It is a great leap in mankind's thinking and man's pattern of life. The practice of the Second Home has realized eight ideals. 1. Disintegration of marriage and family, elimination of private ownership, realization of the ideal of "everyone having nothing and yet possessing everything". 2. Realization of the communist ideal of "from each according to his ability and to each according to his need". 3. Realization of the Greatest Creator's kingdom without marriage predicted by Jesus. 4. Realization of Lao Tze's ideal of "Tao modeling itself after nature". 5. Realization of the ideal of "Each displaying his or her own special skills, like eight Chinese immortals crossing the sea". 6. Realization of the social ideal of "no one pocketing anything found on the ground and no one bolting the door at night". 7. Realization of the ideal of everyone enjoying happiness, pleasure, freedom, and blessing. 8. Realization of the harmony between man and nature. The practice of the Second Home has proved that the following nine values are correct. 1. Following the way of the Greatest Creator is the fundamental prerequisite and guarantee for man as a whole and man as an individual to acquire a happy life. 2. All crises faced by man can be solved if the crisis of man's soul is solved. 3. Marriage and family is endless sea of suffering. Outside marriage and family, you are far away from the sea of tribulation. 4. Holographic theory and holographic management mechanism conforms most to human character and nature. 5. Collective life is the best venue for self-refinery and self -cultivation. 6. Entering the Second Home and actively participating in the building of the era of Lifechanyuan for mankind is the most direct and most effective way of self-refinery and self-cultivation to realize the ideal of life and LIFE. 7. The core of self-refinery and self-cultivation is none other than the sublimation of soul and the perfection of consciousness. 8. Uphold "800 Values for New Era Human Being", and you can get everything that you need. 9. The teachings of Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, Celestial Lao Tze, and Prophet Mohammed are correct. Facts have eloquently proved that becoming a Chanyuan celestial is a happy thing and living in the Second Home is the best way to scale the highest realm of life and LIFE. "It is difficult to start a business but more difficult to safeguard what one has already accomplished". It is easy to attain the Tao, but difficult to maintain it. Therefore, we must know clearly that although the chanyuan values are correct, and although we have successfully created the Second Home and have successfully put it into practice, chanyuan values are still not perfect, the Second Home is not yet ideal, and everything is still extremely weak. We can not stand the test of huge rainstorms and waves. If we slacken our efforts, it is very likely that the "garden of Eden" may vanish into thin air. It is not time yet to lie down and relax, not yet time to slacken our will and enjoy comfort and ease. Every chanyuan celestial should work even harder and forge ahead, and conduct self-refinery and self-cultivation as if walking on tight rope and thin ice. We are now all sensible chanyuan celestials with clear and logical thinking. We should be clear that understanding principles is one thing but putting them into practice in our daily production and life is quite another thing. If when conducting self-refinery we do not make efforts in each word and action and when conducting self-cultivation we do not make efforts in every idea and will, then the principles that we have understood would be useless pet phrases. One thing that we can be sure of is that as long as we stick to the way of the Greatest Creator, upholds the 800 Values for New Era Human Being, and strictly follow the road map of the guide, we will pay back all our debts, we can accumulate the treasures and wealth for ourselves to go to the heavenly kingdom, have a splendid future, and realize the ideal of life and LIFE that we dream of. 2010/2/18 |
Face the Reality Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong and Edited by Kaer) Are you suffering? Do you have troubles, worries, and fears? Do you want to get away from your sufferings and go to a place which provides you with freedom and happiness? If the answer is yes, let me tell you a way which can end your sufferings and lead you to heaven: Face the Reality. What is "Facing the Reality"? That is to aware that we are imperfect, all our sufferings are due to imperfections in ourselves. The world is not wrong, but we are wrong. There is not a single soul in the universe that is treated unjustly. We need to be honest with ourselves and face our imperfections. If we are not happy, we must find the reason within, and not complain about other people and society. It is very easy to find excuses for ourselves and condemn others, but if you do so, you sufferings will never end. One who never admits his imperfections, and always blame others when having troubles and pains will never get real happiness, joy, freedom and blessings, and he will never reach heaven either. I have witnessed all misfortunes throughout the world and have carefully observed and thought about the sufferings of humanity, I have therefore concluded that the root causes of all tragedies are ourselves. What is even worse is that we are not willing to face the truth and admit that we have flaws. Instead, we complain and point our finger at others. This kind of life is too hypocritical, too unreal, too superficial, and too unfortunate. Avoid the reality and do not face yourself honestly, your sufferings will never end.

Eight Kinds of People that Xue Feng Admires Xue Feng There are eight kinds of people that I admire in the human world. 1. People without debts I admire you deeply if you don’t owe anybody any money or property, or have not borrowed any money from the bank and yet can entertain yourself with good food every day, have a house to live in, at night you raise your head to appreciate the stars and moon, during the day you look casually at the clouds drifting, gathering and scattering in the sky, and go sightseeing or visit friends and relatives during spare time. You are leading a life of celestial beings. It does not matter if you do not have villa or expensive car, do not have deposits in the bank, cannot afford famous brand clothes and shoes, do not have great fame or position, cannot afford the meals in a hotel, and cannot prepare any decent dishes to entertain guests. I admire you as long as you are calm and serene in mind. Do you know that there are many people who are still worried about and on the run for their livelihood? 2. People with good health You are blessed, because a good and sound health is something that cannot be bought even with mountains of silver and gold. You have had all the treasures endowed to you by heaven. Just have a look at those handicapped and diseased people and have a look at yourself, and you will understand how blessed you are. And they will admire you most. 3. People who are not married You have the greatest freedom among people on the earth. You can look at anyone you want, you can get up any time you like, you can give your money to anyone you would like to give. There is no one to supervise you, restrict you and be on guard against you. What a good fate you are born with! Just take a look at those who have got married. Don’t be fooled by their smiling faces, inwardly they are extremely distressed. Thus I admire you greatly! 4. People who do not admire others You are extremely great and wise to admire nobody. Most of people’s distresses are rooted in their inclination to make comparisons with others. If you don’t admire others, then I should tell you, you are a man with the wisdom of celestial beings. It is the happiest thing to get on with you. You are being yourself, going your own way, blossoming your own flowers, bearing your own fruit, and living by modeling after nature. You understand the way of the Greatest Creator. Thus you are most admired. 5. People with confidantes I admire you greatly. Your life is full of fun and interest. Yin and Yang blend to make up Tao. So you fully understand the meaning of Tao. You do not intend to possess or control each other and are still attached to each other. You have your love all your life. You have great fun and happiness when being together, and you miss each other day and night when being apart. How well do you understand life and how admired you are! 6. People who know how to be an ordinary person How many people have idled away their beautiful time of life in seeking the extraordinary! In order to pursue the extraordinary they are overburdened with debts, they go off into wild flights of fancy and go astray in search of shortcuts, they resort to trickery and hoodwinking, they go to the most extreme lengths and even end up in prison. However, you can retain a calm mind for being ordinary and settle down to an ordinary life. You enjoy simple food heartily as if you are enjoying delicacies. You work and rest as the sun rises and sets. You really know what to enjoy. You must have fully understood the philosophy of life, or you must have come from the heavenly kingdom. How admired you are! 7. People who have same-sex bosom friends In our life it is especially difficult to find a bosom friend, a person whom you can turn to in the middle of night to share your feeling, or someone to whom you can place your trust and share your secrets, or someone who would jump in front of you to block the strike of a cobra, or someone who is still close to you with smiling face even if you have sworn at him or kicked him, or someone who can share weal and woe with you. Oh, how blessed you are and how I admire you. 8. People capable of entertainment People in the paradise all know how to play and entertain. People who do not know how to play and entertain are dull and boring, and thus have no chance to go to the heavenly kingdom. You are diamond among people if you are both knowledgeable and profoundly wise, and humorous, and can always bring happiness and pleasure to others. To be with you is to be with happiness and joy. To live with you is like living in the heavenly kingdom. How can I help not admiring you! If you are the incarnation of all the above eight qualities, you are undoubtedly an angel, and I will not only admire you but will also follow you closely. March 29,2008 |
Selfishness is the Stumbling Block to Heaven Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) You can feel the vastness of the universe when you have a selfless mind, and you have so much worry if you are selfish. “The Sage puts himself last, and finds himself in the foremost place”, and the laity put himself first, and finds himself death. I often observe the people surrounding me; many people often have emotions as worry, angry, feeling unsettled, anxious, discontent, jealous, hate, complain, depressed, pessimistic and etc. They are very hard to please. The root cause of the above situations is selfishness. In heaven, nobody is selfish, that is why heaven is a place with peace, harmony and happiness. I have established a transit station on our way to heaven – the Second Home (now New Oasis for Life)of Lifechanyuan. One of my objectives is to eliminate the selfishness in human’s nature. In the old lifestyle, it is very difficult to remove selfishness. For example, anyone who lives in marriage and family is selfish because they have to be selfish. While in the Second Home, I first request Chanyuan celestials to break marriage and family, and give up their personal property, moreover, the management style of the Second Home is paradise management; there is no power, position, fame or wealth to chase after. Nobody attaches to anyone, and there is no special relationship between two persons. Nobody has to worry the basic need like food, accommodation, clothes and transportation; nobody need to worry how to deal with aging, illness and death, therefore, there is no fertile soil for the selfishness seed to grow, and the only thing people will do is focus on self-cultivation and spiritual growth, focus on playing games and entertainment, focus on exhibiting one’s sincerity, kindness and beauty, and focus on purifying their soul and repaying the “debts”and accumulating merits. In other words, in the traditional life mode, one is possible to transit to the lower level of life space while in the new life mode, one is only possible walking towards heaven. So does that mean all people living in the Second Home are not selfish? No, they are also selfish. It still needs continuous cultivation on one’s soul garden to change old thoughts and philosophies, and change the habit people formed in traditional lifestyle. If one celestial is too slow to follow new values, and is often selfish, there is elimination mechanism in the Second Home; he will eventually be eliminated, either eliminated by himself or by the new life program. One who is selfless is not able to survive in traditional marriage and family, while one who is selfish is not able to survive in the Second Home. In fact, the teachings of Jesus, Sakyamuni, Lao Tzu and all other sages in history are telling us to eradicate selfishness. However, if there is no corresponding program or environment, it is very difficult for people to become selfless; the Second Home is such a program where the teachings of saints and sages are completely implemented. Selfishness is the stumbling block to heaven; in fact, it is also the stumbling block to a beautiful life. A selfish man will never be able to enjoy a true happy and free life. Why you are angry? Because you are selfish! Why you want to commit bribery or accept bribe? Because you are selfish! Why you are so pessimistic and negative? Because you are selfish! Why you want to open a company to do business? Because you are selfish! Why you are so isolated and don’t like collective life? Because you are selfish! Why you are jealous and discontented? Because you are selfish! Why you love money, position or fame? Because you are selfish! Why you want to get marry, possess someone and be wealthy? Because you are selfish! Why you want to fight or rob something from other people? Because you are selfish! Why you always look upset, and are hard to please? Because you are selfish! Why you feel your life is not satisfying, feel unsettled and painful? Because you are selfish! Why you want to take revenge? why you are in worry and fear? Why you are not happy? Because you are selfish! Why you always complain? And speak ill of someone behind his back? Why you always gossip? Because you are selfish! Isn’t that so? If you want troubles and miseries, please be selfish, the more selfish you are, you will encounter more tragedies; if you want to go to hell, be selfish! Tao will meet your wish. If you want to have great life and want to go to heaven, please be selfless, if you are selfless,Tao will help you realize your dream of reaching paradise. 2011/4/3 |
Souls Sharing the Same Vibration are Family Xuefeng Translated by Conglong and edited by Kaer) Who is our family? Jesus told us, “For whosoever does the pleasure of my Father in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.” – Matthew 12:50. Jesus Christ is the Road, the Truth, and the LIFE. When we follow his teachings, we will be reborn in heaven, and we will know that whoever lives in the will of the Greatest Creator is our family. I am the embodiment of Jesus Christ in this era, an era for “reaping the ripe crops”. Let me tell you again, whoever meets the following standards are our family. · One who reveres the Greatest Creator and walks on his Way. · One who reveres LIFE, reveres nature, loves life, and loves peace. · One with whom we can share weal and woe, one who cares for us, never oppresses us, never exploits us, and never bullies us. · One who speaks gently, never shouts at us, never complains, never laughs at us, never insults us and never discourages us. · One who can forgive our mistakes and makes us smile. · One who never quarrels or fights with us but always is willing to sacrifice his or her interests for us. · One who brings happiness, joy, fun and freedom. · One who is close but never harms us. In short, whoever shares the same vibration is our family. Family is the one we can care for and love and the one who is caring and loving. When we are with our family, we should have no troubles or worries, and never feel lonely or isolated. When we are with our family, there are no quarrels or fights and no anxieties or fears. Wherever we are, as long as we are with our family, our life is beautiful and happy, and our future is blessed. We should redefine the traditional “family” concept which is merely based on the blood relationship and build up a new family theory. Let us make everyone have more families in the journey of life and make their lives even more beautiful! Dec 11, 2009 |
How Far You are From Heaven Xuefeng (Translated by Tongxin and Edited by Kaer) Do you believe that there is a place in the universe where everyone loves each other and treats each other kindly and where people never quarrel or fight, where there is no marriage, family, currency, or personal property, and where people never worry about food, clothes, shelter, transportation, living, aging, sickness, or death? It is a place where the environment is beautiful and serene like Xanadu and where people often play games and have endless fun together, a place where love is free and everyone does their work freely, nobody manages or monitors them, “no one would pocket anything found on the ground, and doors are not bolted at night”, where people and people, and people and nature coexist harmoniously and never harm each other? Do you still not believe in the existence of heaven? If you believe what I am saying here, then come to see how near you have come to heaven now. If you do not believe that you are made by the Greatest Creator, but rather by your parents, then you are endlessly far from heaven. If you never save wealth in heaven, then you are 108,000 kilometers away from heaven (“108, 000 kilometers” is a Chinese proverb to describe a tremendous distance between two places). If you did not pay off your debts from all previous lives, then you are still very far from heaven. If you think marriage, family and relatives are the biggest wealth in your life, then you are quite far from heaven. If you think the biggest pride and honor in life is to own money, power, and fame, then you are still very far from heaven. If there are still poisonous weeds like jealousy, complaining, anger, possession, control, hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, pride, laziness, comparison, precaution, meanness,cruelty, extravagance, waste, or resentment growing in your soul garden, then you are very far from heaven. If you never know what confession and apology are, then you are very far from heaven. If you never know about gratitude, then you are very far from heaven. If you still covet your personal property, then you are very far from heaven. If your love is only focused on a small group of people, then you are very far from heaven. If you want to control or hamper anyone’s freedom, then you are very far from heaven. If you often tell your sad stories or complain a lot to others, then you are very far from heaven. If you have not returned to a childlike state, then you are very far from heaven. If the above situations do not exist, then you are just one step away from heaven. Why can you not see the scenery of heaven? Because you are too far from it. If you try to get close to heaven, step by step, the scenery will become clearer, eventually you will see heaven. Just have a try if you do not believe me. Oct 7, 2013 |
Collective Life is the Best Way to Cultivate Tao Xuefeng The extent of a person's self-refinery and self-improvement can be best examined by the collective life. What most ascetics in the world cultivate is only pet phrase, and method of argument, just like an armchair strategist who divorces from reality and acts blindly. One cannot prove sufficiently that he or she has really promoted his or her spiritual nature or that he or she has a more perfect structure of LIFE simply by judging how long one has engaged in self-cultivation, how many books on self-improvement one has read, how many books on self-refinery and self-improvement one has written, how beautiful the article is, how convincingly one has been talking, how long one has stayed in churches or temples, and how many activities one has taken part in or how many beautiful words one has said on network forums for self-cultivation. Many people have deep theoretical knowledge and can talk eloquently, but when it comes to practical problems they often handle them in an approach that runs counter to what they have preached. They talk eloquently to others only to fish for fame and compliments and will not let themselves be guided by what they have talked. To know what level of cultivation and refinery one has attained, he or she must undergo the process of verification in real life. And participating in collective life offers the simplest, most direct, and most effective way of verification. Suppose 100 people are living together a communist life, the soul of each person will be reflected incisively and vividly. The moral character of a person can be seen clearly in the collective life. Generally speaking, in a small family people will maintain a clean and tidy family environment, but once living in a collective these same people who maintain a clean and tidy family environment will change. The dirty public toilet is just one example. At home people are most frugal in the use of water, electricity, toilet paper, and the like, however, once in a collective they will not be so frugal, on the contrary they may be very lavish. The core of self-refinery and self-cultivation is nature, love and Tao. Now people know that love is one core component of self-refinery and self-cultivation. It is extremely easy to talk about love in network, in speeches, and in articles, but can love be shown when a practical problem arises..In such a situation will one love others in the same manner that he loves himself? It is one matter for one person to live all by oneself, but quite a different one for two people to live together. Living in a small family is different from living in a big family. A person with a beautiful heart and soul can live naturally and peacefully either by oneself or in a collective, while a person with a flawed heart and soul may live normally all by oneself, but will have trouble when living with another person, and is totally incompatible with a collective life, where he or she may become the source of disputes. The lack of collective life in this world has made it difficult for people to quickly optimize their souls. Without the tempering and test of collective life, it will be difficult for a person to perfect his or her soul. Without the examination of collective life, no one can be clear whether his or her soul is relatively perfect. Collective life is the best venue for the cultivation of Tao. Without collective life, all one's cultivation and self-refinery may prove only to be futile pet phrases, no matter how long he or she has been engaged in self-cultivation (including the practice of various skills), no matter how proficient he or she is in theory, or no matter how many profound mysteries he or she has grasped, because he or she does not know where the cultivation is leading. The selfish person has absolutely no luck to enter the paradise. Whether one is selfish or not will become clear once the person enters the collective life. Collective life may easily reveal what level one has reached in self-refinery and self-improvement. In addition, "a solitary figure may vary in moral character". To retain Tao, one must temper oneself in collective life. |


Managing and governing yourself: As long as one is managed, supervised, governed, or controlled by others, they have no freedom. This means that individuals who have reached the highest level of quality and accomplishment will have achieved the highest realm of civilization, so they will not need to be managed, supervised, governed or controlled by others because they will naturally interact with others, both harmoniously and efficiently.
