I Have an Ideal Xue Feng 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 not 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 hismoral 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 become 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, nowisdom, and no spiritual sense, 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 muchcultural 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 viewedas 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. Anynon-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 embarkon 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 haven. 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 withtears 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! ======================================================================================== Lifechanyuan： www.lifechanyuan.org New Oasis for Life： newoasisforlife.org Lifechanyuan International Family： www.smcyinternationalfamily.org Attachments:

Hi Ivy,
1. I do believe there is life after death. I see this life as a test. We live in a world where it's never clear whether good or evil will win, and so we choose between them on the basis of our values. If Good had always been seen to defeat evil, then everyone would have chosen to act as if they're good, simply out of self-interest. Just like how people always want to side with whoever and whatever is the most powerful. Similarly, if God has shown himself to humanity, believing in him would no longer be a matter of faith. We're confronted with that everything we try to rely on in this life will crumble to dust eventually, and we can choose to respond with apathy and let ourselves crumble, or we can stand upright in defiance for as long as we can. -As a way of saying that we choose meaning irregardless of how strongly reality might signal that everything's meaningless.
2. I really don't know. And it depends on whether you count animals. I wouldn't use the term "soulmate" exclusively for a human companion. But if we only refer to humans, do I believe someone may have two soulmates? Well, again, I don't know, but if it is, it would probably be as probable as being hit by lightning twice. I do suspect that having two human soulmates at once would be somewhat problematic, as connecting to another human on a deeper level mean you tune yourself in to that person. You can't tune yourself equally to two humans at the same time. So maybe, if having two soulmates is possible, it would be one after the other.
3. The main thing to prevent it is to never meet one. But if you do meet someone who could be your soulmate, it's also easy to squander it. For, as I mentioned above, it's something that requires you to tune yourself to that individual. What I see from many people these days, is an underlying narcissism, where they usually try to position themselves in a way so to make the other person serve them. In some cases, it's conscious, but for the most part, it seems subconscious. It's ingrained in modern culture to strive to perfectionise self-indulgence, and that does prevent a deeper connection with another individual.
But, again, finding a soulmate, irregardless of how hard you might be looking for one, is like finding one gold nugget on a vast beach.
4. Hopefully it will last into a life after this one, but that s something I may only have faith in.
I‘d like to give some advice: 1. Life's tests will decide us if we are heading for heaven or hell. And eath is the place for our self-refinery. No matter which side will win, we choose to be good. Truth, Goodness and Beauty are the Core Value of Human Nature . So life is not meaningless, we are sublimating all the time no matter how tortuous the road is. We will finally unite with Tao, nature, the Greatest Creator. 2. Yes, in secular world, one hardly can have two soulmates at the same time. As we are not perfect, there is possession, jeaousy, hatred ect.. But in Thousand-year World, it is different. And even in Lifechanyuan, we have many soulmates. 3. I have an easy way. If one can perfect oneself, you can resonate with other perfect people. You can try. Fragrant flowers attract butterflies. What kind of soulmates are we looking for? You are looking for people who really loves you. But person who really loves you must also love the world, a person who does not love the world will never love anyone. 4. Why do people eulogize the love that lasts till death？Because they are rare. Why are they rare? Because it does not confirm to human nature. We eat all kinds of food instead of one paticular kind, we like different flowers, and so we admire people with different personalities.
I certainly don't think that life is meaningless, but I regard it as meaningful only as far as there is an underlying sense of continuity. I need to see what I'm doing in the perspective of eterntiy. This both for acquiring insight and for forming bonds with others. A relation between two individuals must either evolve of break. One problem in this world, is that there is an underlying drive towards stagnation. People would say: "Why couldn't life be more simple?" And in regards to petty issues and meaningless practical problems, I can sympathise. But that statement goes beyond that. They want to find a plateau from which they will never have to climb further up. It's a life walking around in the same circles, and where the ever lasting repetition slowly but surely has life itself, and everything in it, lose its vibrancy.
This is also how civilisations corrupt. Any indiviudal, any relationship, any society that doesn't continuously evolve, will inevitably wither. Instead of realising this, what many people tend to do is to think that it's a matter of finding the right person, or the perfect formula for building the right society. -But unless eternal evolvement is written into the formula itself, it's just a mirage. A good friend is someone who makes the hard journey through life easier to endure. A good society is a society that allowed the individual to eternally develop his/her potential.
Those who base their lives on self-indulgence will never be happy with any person they meet. They'll never be happy with any activity they choose. Whatever they do, will, at most, give them a momentary sense of intrigue, for then to vanish like a water droplet under the sun.

What is this ontinuity? Unless you know orgin of the universe, origin of human beings and the purpose and role of human beings. ---------- III. The Role of Humanity Xuefeng (Translated by Conglong) The Greatest Creator loves humans, because we were designed by him. Among all life beings, celestials are his most favourite, and the next is human. Therefore,we have three responsibilities: 1.To please the Greatest Creator 2.To maintain unity of opposites of the god world Gods are also the children of the Greatest Creator, there is no good or bad god, each god has its own role to play. It is up to the Greatest Creator to judge their merits and demerits. 3.To build and beautify earth. Building and beautifying earth is the responsibility and the indispensable obligation of humanity. Maintaining ecological balance, purifying air, rivers and land are the jobs must be shouldered by humans. We must not shirk our responsibilities just because we are taken care by the Greatest Creator. It is just like kids must learn to be independent and help themselves; they must no rely on the parents for everything. |

The Unity Between Individuality and Generality in Lifechanyuan
Xuefeng
I will take the example of celestial being's life in Thousand-Year World to talk about the unity between individuality and generality of the Second Home in Lifechanyuan.
Without individuality, life would be pallid. If a garden is overgrown with only one kind of flowers, it will be boring and monotonous; if it is a riot of colors with countless flowers in full bloom, the garden will then be lively and splendid. Every Chanyuan celestial should have individuality, must have characteristics distinct from other Chanyuan celestials. And we should protect, support, accommodate such individualities. We should not expect others to be exactly like ourselves. We should not set down requirements for others or find fault with others on the basis of our own habits and values, we should not bind others up or make indiscreet criticisms of others with standards that we ourselves think are correct.
Without generality, everything will be in a state of disunity like a sheet of loose sand, and chaos and confusion will reign supreme. It will be easy for us to get into conflict, and friction, and energy will be exhausted by internal strife. Thus it will be difficult for us to achieve joy, happiness, freedom and blessing, and accordingly it will be even more difficult for us to demonstrate our individuality. As a result, we will have more afflictions, and run into one after another trouble. With the passage of time we may slide into the secular world, the animal world and until into hell.
Generality should embody individuality, and individuality should embrace generality. Only with the perfect unity between generality and individuality, can we guarantee a vigorous and dynamic life in which there is both uniform will and pleasant feelings of individuals.
Generality should accomodate individuality. Generality that does not allow the existence of individuality is inhuman, cruel, despotic and dictatorial. Lifechanyuan should consistently be on guard against this trend. When individuality gets into conflict with generality, individuality should give way to generality. The individuality that does not conform to generality is a law onto itself, is immoral and radical, and will do harm to the collective. Such individuality is a morbidity that reflects a distorted soul and indicates the deformity of nonmaterial structure.
The reason that people in the Thousand-Year World live a more joyful and pleasant, and freer and more blessed life than people in the human world is because of the perfect unity between individuality and generality. The fewer conflicts and contradictions there are between generality and individuality, the better the quality of life will be, the more interesting a life everyone will have, and the greater the freedom will be. The more conflicts and contradictions there are between generality and individuality, the lower the quality of life will be, the poorer the character of LIFE will be, and the more afflictions and troubles everyone will have.
The generality of human society is maintained mainly through constitutions, laws and statutes, army, and police. Without these compulsory measures, human society will be plunged into confusion and chaos and will be governed by law of the jungle existing in the animal world, by which the strong prey upon the weak.
The generality of Lifechanyuan is maintained mainly through Lifechanyuan values. No constitution, laws and statutes, or army and police are needed. The generality is realized completely by the same-frequency resonance of soul under Lifechanyuan values, and completely by everyone's free will and volition. No compulsory and mandatory measures shall be employed.
Everyone who conducts self-refinement and self-cultivation in order to live in the better spaces of LIFE must have a good understanding of the perfect unity between generality and individuality, and must maintain individuality and at the same time conform to generality. Anyone who places excessive emphasis on individuality can never reach the higher spaces of LIFE. The more individuality a place emphasizes, the farther it is from the paradise and the closer it is to hell; in the same way, the more generality a place emphasizes and the more individuality it strangles, the farther it is from the paradise and the closer it is to hell.
Everyone should understand that human society is a place that emphasizes individuality. You come from human society, so it is only natural that you want to fully exhibit and maintain your individuality. However, if you don't pay attention to generality and cannot fully display your individuality, you will be distressed, you will be furious, and you will be revengeful. You will mistreat others as well as yourself, and you will even kill yourself. Thus, as a member of human society, we are innately psychologically deformed, and innately handicapped in the nonmaterial structure of our LIFE.
Then what should we do?
Collective life is the best venue to cultivate the way. We must cultivate and refine ourselves by blending ourselves into the collective life, and get rid of the individuality that does not conform to generality in the same way as we prune the superfluous branches from a tree. When you live alone, when you are single, when you live in the secular family, you may feel wonderful, you may feel you are perfect and flawless; however, once you live in the collective, you will have your defections and deficiencies exposed, you will feel completely incompatible with the collective life, you will find it difficult to get along with people harmoniously, you will cause distress to others, and you will feel that others do not love you and do not care for you. When such things happen, you should find problems in yourself instead of in the collective.
For example, when everyone is having a good time but you choose to go to sleep and then complain that others have made noises and interrupted you, that's where you have gone wrong, because your individuality is not incorporated into the generality. On the other hand, you are equally wrong when everyone else is having a rest but you choose to have some fun and make a lot of noise.
Maybe someone would ask, I do not want to be a part of the collective, and I do not cause distress and troubles to other people, I only concentrate myself on my own cultivation, and I only go to the place that I yearn for, isn't that permissible?
Yes, it's permissible. The space for LIFE is infinitely expansive, and whatever consciousness you may and you will go to the corresponding space for LIFE. But you cannot go to the paradise, because in the paradise there is no place for a lonely ranger. Even if you can do whatever you want in Celestial Island Continent, you must still follow the generality of Celestial Island Continent, you must associate with the collective, you must live peacefully with any celestial being, you should not behave as in the human world, getting along well with only a few good friends you have choosen but ignore others.
Even if you are a star, you must exist in a galaxy, and you must observe the generality of the galaxy, otherwise you will be doomed.
The more one stresses individuality, the more distress and trouble they will have, the greater destruction they will bring to society and collective, the more lonely and solitary they will feel, the more easily their soul will be distorted, and the more abnormal mentality they will have.
The less conflicts and contradiction a person suffers in individuality and generality, the more pleasant and happier they will be, the more serene a mind they will have, and the more likely they will achieve the spiritual state of a celestial being and Buddha. A person who suffers greater conflicts and contradiction between generality and individuality will become devils, monsters and demons.
The generality of the universe is Tao, the core of Tao is the Greatest Creator. Worshipping the Greatest Creator and following his way means the perfect and harmonious unity between your own individuality and the universe's generality. Only people who have harmoniously and perfectly united their individualities and the universe's generality are clear-headed people and can have a bright prospect. If you have deviated this general principle and direction, you will not have a beautiful prospect no matter how much effort you have made for your own cultivation.
The generality of human society is fame and gain. Every pursuit of fame and gain, by whatever means, is compatible with the generality of human society. And any departure from this generality of human society will cause great difficulty, setbacks, and endless distresses and troubles for one's life. Therefore, as a man, one should pursue fame and gain, and in this way one can combine his own individuality with the generality of human society and thus will have a relatively smooth and free life.
The generality of animal society is the strong preying upon the weak to satisfy desire. If a person lives only to satisfy his own desire and follows the law of the jungle, then he has organically unified his own individuality with the generality of human society. Outwardly you are a man, but inwardly you only have the consciousness of an animal, and you will go to the animal world in future life.
The generality of Lifechanyuan is the way of celestial being. Anyone who seeks joy, happiness, freedom, and blessing, looks forward to Thousand-Year World, Ten-Thousand-Year World, and Celestial Island Continent of the Elysium World, and enthusiastically involves himself in pioneering the era of Lifechanyuan is a person who has perfectly and harmoniously united his own individuality with the generality of Lifechanyuan.
Everyone has his individuality. And generality exists everywhere. Gangsters have gangster's generality, criminal syndicates have their own generality, bees and ants have their own generality, and wolf packs and fox flocks have also their own generalities. Birds of a feather flock together. No matter in what community, only those that can perfectly and harmoniously unite their own individualities with the generality of their collective can reap the greatest benefit.
Chanyuan celestials in Lifechanyuan are going to the Celestial being's world, so Chanyuan celestials should perfectly and harmoniously unite their individuality with the generality of Chanyuan values. In this way, they can accomplish the sublimation of their LIFE within a short time, and achieve the state of celestial being and move toward Celestial Island Continent.

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.

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.

Thank You, the Children of the Greatest Creator
Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong & Ailian and Edited by Kaer)
April 22, 2014
Lifechanyuan has been enduring a period of suffering since November, 2013. The three community branches created by Lifechanyuan were disbanded, properties worth twenty-six million Yuan were taken, and 150 people were forced to leave the home. Lifechanyuan suddenly fell from heaven to the earth and it became so weak financially that people are facing tremendous survival challenges. Where is the home for these people and how should we support ourselves? The huge pressure on me affected my breathing, I lost sleep for many nights, my eyes became weak, and my vision became blurred.
But we should survive and we must survive! We migrated to a place several thousand kilometres away and came to the Gobi desert. We drink the bitter and carcinogenic, saline - alkali water, we live in a few run-down houses and we began another round of hard times. We managed to survive, but to remain as civilized people while living in such primitive conditions, we still have many challenges. Each step forward needs money, and in reality, everything seems to us so direct and cruel. Even now, I cannot sleep well and there are many nights when I only sleep three or four hours. There are so many chores waiting for me to sort through and deal with, how can I manage to sleep?
The constitution and laws only maintain slavery, they do not protect human dignity. The society’s morality tends to maintain the brutal, ignorant, and backward consciousness and lifestyle, not the innovative and civilized ones. It is only when human beings experience huge survival crises that they will start to accept new-born ideas and things. Otherwise, the laziness and historical habits will stop them from making great progress and evolution.
Although many challenges lie ahead, my heart is full of gratitude. Gratitude to the Greatest Creator for letting us survive, and gratitude to the children of the Greatest Creator, the Chanyuan celestials, for the selflessness and active efforts they have all given and are continuing to give. Also, gratitude to all the people who comforted and helped us in every possible way during our hardest times.
In the past half year, Chanyuan celestials’ best qualities have been put into full play. Faced with life or death, nobody complained of hardships or backed off. Nobody shouted at me or did reasonless or extreme things. Everyone accepted what happened silently. What we said and did are civilized, our soul gardens are becoming purer and more beautiful. Everything is running in good order. Because of this, our new life erupts.
We still have a long way to go to reach the ideal realm. We will still encounter many kinds of challenges. However, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles we encounter, I hope the children of the Greatest Creator will always be civilized and maintain good behaviour, never hurt Mother Nature, any living beings, society, or any nations. Please keep the purification of your soul garden as the first priority. Do not be selfish, jealous, greedy, arrogant, possessive, or fearful. Let nature take its course. Keep the inner peace and firmly believe in the Greatest Creator and in Karma. Try your best with everything in your daily life and stand to the original intention. Let us continue to climb to the highest states of Life and LIFE！

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 –

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.

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

Set out, towards the hometown of freedom!
Xuefeng
There is a beautiful place
That is the kingdom of the Greatest Creator
The hometown of freedom
Green mountains, clear waters,
Warm and sunny all year around
Flowers are blossoming
covering on the hills and yards
Streams flowing, spring tinkling
Willows swaying, bamboos dancing
Kingfishers flying
Happy people singing loud
Never need to struggle for survival
Ah! This charming land looks like a picture
White clouds hanging over the mountains
Colourful rainbow appearing and diminishing
Winding paths and peeping green tiles
Harmony and peace can be felt everywhere
The free kingdom in my dream!
No stealing, no fighting
No hurting, no gossiping
No suspecting, no cheating
No annoying noises
Not even jealousy, comparison and complaints
Everything exhibited in beauty
Run away from the prison of human nature
Get away from the sufferings
Life is a flash in the pan
No need to attach to the annoying person or thing
Not worthy to tangle in anything that limits freedom
Boss, wife or kids
King, husband or brothers
Whoever limits my freedom
I will run away
Time is flying like a horse running across a fissure
Which I can’t afford to waste
When I am alive
I should present my true self
Rules, commandments, morals, dharma are not good
As long as they are bondage
Let me live according to my own will
but within the law of nature
As long as I don’t hurt nature, people and other life beings
Whatever I do
will please the Greatest Creator
Let me go for the free land
when the sun rises in the morning
Muddy road, strong storm
wolves, tigers, cliffs
will never stop me
If I don’t have freedom
Am I different from a living corpse?
Sweats, tears and blood droplets might be my company
To get freedom, I’m not afraid to pay any price
Even if my body is bruised
and thorns are on the way
Not to mention the secular gossips
I don’t care people say I’m heartless
I never want to have the tragedies
people had before
I’m diligent, kind,
and willing to devote myself for the wellbeing of others
But will not accept anyone’s control, enforcement
and attack on my soul
I’m simple, innocent, and long for mutual respect and love
But will not tolerant constant supervision and complaint
I will not live in a place my freedom is controlled
I’m not willing to fight for power and money
and accompanied by people who are short-sighted
I am a pretty flower in the fairyland
unsophisticated,
I’m pure and elegant
The sky of my soul is so blue
Without little dust and stain
Let the doctrines enslaving my soul go to the hell
I’m only fascinated by the faraway picturesque and harmonious place
That is my free hometown and where I will go
Carry my small baggage
Head forward, no longer look back,
No more hesitation and wander,
I’ve chosen the goal and direction
Each step towards the magnificent splendor of life,
Set forth
towards that hometown of freedom!

Song for my lovers
Deiform Celestial
From Harare to all over the world
From my soul to every lover’s heart
In the name of the Greatest Creator I miss you

Like a stream never stop flow
My lovers all so wisdom humble
They posses exceptional talent also beautiful
I guess they come from heaven like angel
Spread good news to the people
Name from Penglai, jiaoe, lingbo,wannian celestial
Follow yiyun,yinhe,huiying, jingying celestial
Hand in hand comes runhe celestial
Beauty conglong brings me some lover more
Oh, Lifechanyuan like a love sea roar
Each other’s love like spring grass fast grow
I cherish the love like my soul
Until we reach Celestial Islands Continent

Personal Information of Xuefeng
Xuefeng
(Translated by Conglong and Edited by Kaer)
As the founder of Lifechanyuan, my role is to reap “the ripe crops”, initiate the Lifechanyuan era for human beings, and lead Chanyuan celestials to climb the highest realm of Life and LIFE. To people who are practicing self-cultivation, your focus should be on whether the road to which I am leading is clear and whether the values I promote are reasonable. My personal background information should not be too important, though I have mentioned some details in my articles, except for my true name and birthdate. But there remain some people who are curious about me, so in order to satisfy them, I will re-introduce myself with information that can be verified by anyone.
Everything in Lifechanyuan is open to public, we are doing nothing mysterious, and there is nothing we wish to hide. As the founder of Lifechanyuan, it is reasonable for me to expose everything about myself to the public because I do not want to appear furtive.
My legal name on my ID : Zhang Zi Fan (张自繁)
My birthdate on my ID: July 17, 1957
My place of birth was Zhang Village, Lianhua Township, Yongjing County, Gansu Province, China (The intersection of the Yellow River and Da Xia River). The building of the Liujiaxia reservoir caused us to relocate and the name of our local administrative area was renamed, so my original birthplace no longer exists. We then moved to Hetan Township, the autonomous County of Dongxiang Tribe, Gansu Province.
Gender: Male
Height: 172cm (5’8”)
Weight: 80 kg (176 Lbs)

●Self-employed - Zimbabwe; before I founded Lifechanyuan. I was operating two grocery stores, a bar, a club and a fast food restaurant.
Political Background: Joined the Communist Party of China in 1975, and left the party automatically because of my engagement in overseas businesses. Although I am no longer a member of the Communist Party, I have never changed my faith to devote my life to the realization of it.
Family Background: I was born and brought up in a poor farming family.
My Father: A member of the Communist Party of China, he was a very firm believer and practitioner of communism and devoted his full life to it.
My Mother: A very hardworking and kind farmer and an obedient and capable wife.
My wife: She is with me whenever I go and works with me. We change our living places quite often and she is basically always beside me. She is now a Chanyuan celestial and lives with me in the community too. Her room is next door to mine.
My Son: He went to overseas for middle school education when he was 11, and received his university education in USA. He is married now with a native American girl and legally a citizen of USA. I wanted another child - a girl, but because of the birth control polity, I just have one child.
Crime Record: I never had any criminal activity, and never did anything against law. My record is very clear.
Religious Background: When I was a child, I used to go to temple with my mother to worship some kind of Chinese gods like the earth god, king of dragon god, Erlang shen etc. I got some knowledge about Taoism from my grandma, and a little Buddhism from my mother. I knew some Islam from my Muslim colleague, and also a little Hinduism from a few Indian people. I’ve learnt the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses for three years, and had been to the “Kingdom Hall” from time to time.
Master:Apart from my teachers of primary school, middle school, technical school, college and university, I never formally acknowledged someone as my master. So I don’t have a master, and I was not descented anything from a master.
Interest: Music. I composed two songs – The Magic Second Home, and The School Song for Lifechanyuan University. I like to play flute, harmonica and dulcimer.
Nickname: My Chinese language teacher of primary school called me “the Phoenix in heaven”; and was nicknamed “Ancient King of Ge Sa Er” by my students when I was a middle school teacher. I was once jeered by my colleagues, and they called me “the half-celestial Zhang”. Until now, Chanyuan celestials called me the “cool guide” and “loving guide”. I was also nicknamed “Shrew” by some people outside Lifechanyuan. Recently, we are building some houses in the 4th branch, my brothers and sisters call me “Zhou Ba Pi” (In Chinese, it is used to describe a mean boss or leader). They intentionally called me this because I did a very tight work schedule for dozens of Chanyuan celestials everyday so that nobody would have an idle moment, moreover, I use a very loud speaker to play music at 7:00 in the morning; Once the music is on, every one has to get up to work, and no one can sleep late.
Hobby: “Flirting”, I love to joke with my brothers and sisters. I like women, I like almost all women, but I never abandon the old when I have a new lover.
This is basically everything about me.
If anyone wants to know more, please ask, and I will certainly answer you.

Build Great Faith--Cultural Construction in the Second Home
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.
