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:

ivyEarlier I had a thought that to all the people was good. Because we couldn't love just a person, it would be not fair. But later, when I started to study Holy Bible deeply I had got the sense of Christ's words "to love your neighbors". I think Christ's words are more natural than any other thoughts. Moreover, despite of Christianity, His words were truly wise. It's impossible to love everyone; loving everyone = to love nobody. For example, I know you a little, but I think you're a very talented and a very beautiful person. Your posts are fulfilled with good wishes and positive thoughts. So, it's very nice for me to be acquainted with you. However, I don't know you well, and I can say something wrong, because I don't know your tastes, I don't know what you like or not. The more I know you; the more closer I can be to you. And the same principle is fair for many situations. In some situations having known some people too far we might find them terrible and cruel. That's why I don't believe in the formula of Thousand-Year-World, but believe in Christ's.

The Greatest Creator can divide life into people, animals, poultry, plants, insects，etc, then do you think he has the ability to build a planet, let only the sincere, kind, beautiful people to live there or not?  The people that are heading for heaven are those who pursue sincerity, kindness, and beauty, and consciously shy away from falsity, evil and ugliness, and chase the sun and escape the darkness. No matter whether they observe the universe, nature, and human society, or everything, every object, every phenomenon, or every person, they can always see their sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith and honesty, and ignore their falsity, evil, ugliness, resentment, and hypocrisy. They look forward to the heaven and pay no attention to the hell, because they understand the law of attraction. Whatever consciousness of soul a person has, and whatever reality that person will perceive. They also understand that birds of a feather flock together, that a person with an ugly soul can only see an ugly world and a person with a beautiful soul can see a beautiful world. |

Be Always Grateful--the Culture Building
of the Second Home
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!

Be Frank and Honest--the Culture Building
of the Second Home 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.

Freedom of Emotional Love and Sex Love
——the Culture Building of the Second Home
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 relations with any third person. One is also free to have more than one emotional and partners. One is also free to have unlimited number of emotional and 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.

Believe in and Rely on the Home
—the Culture Building of the Second Home 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.

The real Truth is to be learned from ordinary life, from reading apocalypse, not from reading Bible books or listening to other people's sermons. Try to recall if you experienced somthing you feel weired then and find out later that it was the best arrangment for you. |

Eliminate Greed, Corruption, Laziness, Extravagance and Selfishness--the Culture Building of the Second Home 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.

Stick to the Way of Nature
--the Culture Building of the Second Home Part Seven
Xuefeng
"the Main path is easy to walk on, Yet people love the small by-paths. ", "Tao is worshipped and Te is exalted, Without anyone's order but is so of its own accord.", "Tao models itself after nature."--"Tao Te Ching". The way of the Greatest Creator is the way of nature, and the way of nature is the union between man and the universe, the union of different methods, the way of being a man, the way of light, the way of great peace, the way of joy, pleasure, freedom and happiness, and the easiest, simplest, and nearest, and cheapest way to the Thousand-Year World, Ten Thousand-Year World, Elysium World, and the Celestial Island Continent.
Adherence to the way of nature is a distinguishing feature of the culture of the second home.
How can we adhere to the way of nature?
1. Everything and every phenomenon in nature is the cell and word of the Greatest Creator. We should hold nature in esteem and awe, love nature, we should not damage nature, we should blend into nature, and live in harmony with nature, and share prosperity with nature.
2. The universe and nature is the palace hall of the Greatest Creator, therefore the second home will not build churches, temples, monasteries, and other places for the worshipping of the Greatest Creator. Worshipping nature is worshipping the Greatest Creator, and showing awe and respect to nature is showing awe and respect to the Greatest Creator.
3. The second home shall not make sculptures and carvings for the worshipping of the Greatest Creator, worshipping everything and every phenomenon in nature is worshipping the Greatest Creator.
4. Feel the gratitude for the Greatest Creator from the depth of heart, spurn different forms of worshipping, burn no incense, no paper money, and do not kowtow, do not use animal or any other creatures as offerings and sacrifices.
5. "Begin labor at the rise of the sun, and stop at the setting of the sun", "Get up at dawn and clean the courtyard". Rear, survive, live, and die according to the law of nature. With the exception of Toom-sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-autumn Festival, Spring Festival, and the like, which are closely associated with nature, the second home does not celebrate any other man-made holidays.
6. "Have dinner when one feels hungry and go to sleep when one feels tired". When cultivating oneself, Chanyuan celestial follows the law of nature. Chanyuan celestials will have meal when they feel hungry, go to sleep when they feel tired, engage in entertainment when he has a desire for it, and go to work when it is time for it. They will not break the law of nature, or build luxury dwelling places, they will be thrifty in food and do not eat rare and expensive delicacies. They do not value objects difficult to obtain. They do not wear diamond rings, do not envy man-made works of art, do not cultivate magical arts, do not pursue special skills, do not seek shortcuts. They spurn any form of cultivation that is against the law of nature.
7. What one says should be based on facts, what one does should be based on scientific and objective laws, what one reasons should be based on logic. Give up any form of superstition, such as dialogue with deity, communion with higher soul, speaking via deities, and talking in the name of the Greatest Creator, god and spirits. Do not practice magic and wonder, do not show off special skills, do not pass on strange tales, do not pass off as Jesus Christ or Buddha, "Keep a distance from ghosts and deities", do not tell fortunes, do not make predictions, do not practice the ritual of expelling the ghost and calling back the spirit of the dead, do not practice witchery, do not practice theurgy, and do not wear special garments and accessories that mark one's statuses. Be natural in everything and free from any affectedness.
8. "The more prohibitions there are,the poorer the people become. The more sharp weapons there are, the greater the chaos in the state. The more skills of technique, the more cunning things are produced. The greater the number of statutes, the greater the number of thieves and brigands."——"Tao Te Ching". Therefore, on the basis of "observing rules", we should break with any taboo. The home does not possess any other devices, except for those used in production, life and entertainment, does not produce and possess swords, spears and other weapons, does not encourage people to learn strange skills, and does not make rules and statutes. Everything follows the law of nature.
Tao models itself after nature, therefore following the way of nature and upholding the way of nature means following the way of the Greatest Creator and following the way of LIFE. The way of nature is like the bright sunlight of spring, with good weather and fresh breeze and good luck and harmony. The way of nature is simple and easy to carry out, and will become brighter and brighter, more and more noble, and more and more perfect.
The way of nature is not only the way of man but also the way of celestial being. As long as we stick to and follow the way of nature, in the long term we will most certainly attain Deity celestial being and Super celestial being.

One Root can Give Birth to Thousands of Branches, Accept the one Root as the Fundamental
—— Culture Building of the Second Home
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.

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. 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) 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.
8) 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.

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.

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.

Confucius Should Retire
Xeufeng
(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)
Confucius is most worthy of respect as a Chinese national thinker and moral leader. His educational theories are especially praiseworthy. However, it would be more of a disaster than a blessing for China to continue regarding him as a saint and promoting him as such to the outside world.
First of all, Confucius understood benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and credibility, and to be gentle, benign, modest, thrifty, and courteous, but he had no regard for Tao. That is to say, Confucius focused only on the branches and leaves, but attached no significance to the roots. However hard he tried, he never strove to reach the faith nor the virtue of being a mortal human. This is why he had regrets, as can be inferred from The Analects of Confucius: Li Ren, namely that having heard Tao in the morning, one may die content in the evening. Confucius never understands Tao, even to his death.
Secondly, Confucius despised laborers and regarded them as inferior beings.
It was written in, The Analects of Confucius : Zi Lu, that his student, Fan Chi once suggested to Confucius that he should learn to plant crops, but Confucius answered him, “I am not as good as the farmers”. Once again Fan Chi asked him to learn to grow vegetables, but Confucius again answered him, “I am not as good as vegetable growers”. After Fan Chi exited, Confucius denigrated him by saying, ”What an inferior person Fan Chi is! Superior people can be courteous but ordinary people will have to revere them, superior people can be righteous but ordinary people will have to obey them, and superior people can be credible but common people will certainly love them. In that way, the common people will always take refuge with their own children, so why would I ever need to or want to do as they do, to plant crops?”
How can one who looks down upon the laborers bring blessings China?
Worse than that, Confucius was unkind. When Fan Chi asked him for advice, not only did Confucius not facilitate his student earnestly and patiently to his face, but he even belittled his student as being “inferior”. Does this kind of “teacher” deserve to be one at all?
As he was wrong macroscopically, it would be to no avail, no matter how hard he strove. He was confused macroscopically, but prudent microscopically.
With the development of modern society, Confucius needs to retire!

Corruption is the same as evil. But we can't live without any evil (life would be senseless). So, we need some corruptions, if any other evil are without being used.
