800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 1:Lifechanyuan Era 1. Mankind is about to be ushered into Lifechanyuan Era that will span a thousand years. 2. 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. Stay and study in Lifechanyuan will a new LIFE begin. You will see clear paradise scenes. 3. There are mainly eight major identifying brands for Lifechanyuan Era: (1). The disappearance of state, religion, political party, and family life; (2). The absence of court, judge, and lawyers; (3). The absence of constitution, law, statutes, commandment, and dharma, there will be only values of Lifechanyuan; (4). Instead of following constitution, laws, statutes, commandment, and dharma as the norm for behavior, people take sincerity, kindness, beauty,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
love, faith, honesty, diligence, and harmony as the guideline for words and behaviors; (5). The disappearance of war, diseases, hunger, and crime; (6). Man will shift from the pursuit of material comfort to the pursuit of spiritual satisfaction; (7). The production and life of man all over the world will be uniformly steered by sages and managed by wise men; (8). Man will coexist harmoniously with other advanced LIFE of the universe and nature in an orderly manner. Lifechanyuan will establish 256 branches around the globe to correspond with the secular governments. The resident members of each branch shall not surpass 300. The people under the jurisdiction of secular governments can range from tens of thousands to hundreds of millions. Each branch shoulder three functions: copy the life style of the Thousand Year World and provide Chanyuan celestial with bases to cultivate into celestial beings; assist the secular governments and train management personnel for secular governments; strive to transit all the humankind to Chanyuan celestial within 200-300 years and transform the secular governments to Home without marriage and family. 4. Marching toward Lifechanyuan Era is the will of the Greatest Creator, the wish of Christ, the hope of Buddha, the ideal of sages and saints who have exerted their utmost effort to that purpose, and also the desire of the toiling masses who yearn toward such an era. To devote our whole life to Lifechanyuan is the greatest value of LIFE, which has contained the deepest teachings of Christ and Buddha, the beautiful dreams of sages
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and saints of mankind, and the expectations of all the kind-hearted and diligent people. Let’s march toward Lifechanyuan Era—all people who wish to cultivate the character of celestial beings and Buddha, all people who are willing to devote all their LIFE to the beautiful ideals of mankind, all people who are trekking and climbing toward the highest compass of life and LIFE and all people who wish to enter the heaven through cultivation. The greatest characteristic of Lifechanyuan Era is the absence of family, religion, political party, and state in the world. “the talented will be put to good use, and the whole world will be one family”, in which “no one would pocket anything found on the ground, and doors are not bolted at night”, The people will be natural and pure, the weather will be good for harvest, the society will be harmonious, the will of the people will be peaceful, the products will be plentiful, and everyone will be happy. 5. Family, nationality, state, political party, and religion is the source of misfortune for mankind. 6. Those favoring private ownership are seculars, those preferring public ownership are sages, those bent on non-ownership are celestial beings. 7. The thing will be of greater value if it is shared to a larger extent. The greater the extent of sharing, the higher the utilization ratio of resources will be, and the greater their values and significances will be. Man must bring his talent into full play, and materials should be put to full use. This is the will of the Greatest Creator, as well as the wish of all kind-hearted, diligent, honest, and trustworthy people. A civilized society is one in which resources are shared by all its members; a barbarian society is one in which resources are contested and occupied.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
8. Only after Lifechanyuan Era is initiated for people to lead the life of Home without marriage and family in Lifechanyuan, can people get rid of the suffering of life, and obtain a happy, joyful, free and blessed life. 9. The optimum system of administration for human society is “Lifechanyuan plus secular government”. Lifechanyuan takes charge of man’s spiritual being, while secular governments shall be responsible for the material construction and ensure the efficiency and order of life and society of humankind. 10. Lifechanyuan is the homestead of man’s spirit and soul, the transfer station for seculars to move toward the higher level of LIFE space, and the headspring for every individual to obtain sublimation of spiritualism and acquire spiritual wealth. The core of Lifechanyuan is reverence for the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature, and following the Way of the Greatest Creator. The purpose of Lifechanyuan is to gradually eliminate the shackles and bondages of family, nationality, state, political party, and religion and lead man to Lifechanyuan Era. 11. All the mankind must enter Lifechanyuan Era, initiate Lifechanyuan Era, and march toward Lifechanyuan Era—this is the best road of life, the most miraculous road of self-improving and self-refining, and the only road for man to solve all the crises he faces and march toward civilization and happiness. The relationship between Lifechanyuan and government is that between fish and water. Government is water, and Lifechanyuan is fish. Lifechanyuan does not interfere with and comment on government actions. Lifechanyuan is unconditionally subject to the administration of government. Any Chanyuan celestial will be punished by government if he has violated government regulations. Lifechanyuan will not interfere. If any branch of Lifechanyuan across the world is to be banned because
800 Values for New Era Human Being
of its inappropriate behaviors. The instructions of the government must be enforced immediately, and the branch must be disbanded instantly without any defiance. The disbanded branch shall not lodge any complaint or plan any secret activities. If any Chanyuan celestial abet or instigate other Chanyuan celestials to rival and create difficulties for the government, he is then proved to be a careerist and schemer, and shall be immediately ridded of his competency as a Chanyuan celestial and expelled from the homestead. 12. Before the birth of Lifechanyuan, man has chosen two wrong paths: one is the abandonment of this life in pursuit of a future life, which is characterized by a passive and pessimistic cultivation for the future instead of positively and optimistically creating the present life; the other is the abandonment of the future life in pursuit of a befuddled present life, viewing the future as an illusion and engrossed in the enjoyment of the present life to the negligence of future life. Man has taken two wrong roads: one is the placement of hope upon gods and emperors, submitting himself to the will of Heaven, leading a conservative life, and expecting windfall from the sky; the other is the placement of hope upon himself, harboring the idea that man is to conquer nature, and showing no reverence for the Greatest Creator and god, which as a result has not only rendered him unable to enjoy the pleasure of life but also forfeited his splendid prospect for the future. 13. The network era is coming for all religions tending toward unification, and for “Harvest the ripe crops�. It is also coming for the LIFE of the universe which is undergoing grand adjustment, and for purifying the earth. . The network era is coming and we are to be ushered in Lifechanyuan Era.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
The symbols of “ripe crops” are: (1). Reverence for the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature, and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator. (2). No involvement in marriage and family, state, political party, and religion. (3). The absence of status, property, fame, and influence. (4). The absence of jealousy, complaint, and comparison; the absence of selfishness, greed, and scheming; the absence of sloth, arrogance, and resentment; the absence of worry, anxiety and dread. (5). Not opinionated, be flexible and accommodating, act as accords one’s nature, and follow the Tao. (6). Humble, kind, hardworking, honest, trustworthy, simple and unsophisticated, healthy, and civilized. (7). Know how to play, know how to play games, like collective activities and collective life, open-minded and active, and maintain a happy and joyful state of mind. (8). Do not cling to a mortal’s life but a celestial life; do not cling to a mortal’s human relationship but a celestial order, do not pursue a mortal’s path but a celestial road, do not long for the human world but the fairyland. 14. The heaven becomes clear and bright when unified, the earth becomes peaceful when united, the deity becomes effective when united, the grain becomes prosperous when united, all things become thriving when unified, and a saint’s idea may become universal if he pursues the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
uniform truth. The whole of mankind has only one government, one belief, one order, and one pattern; man can only have one goal, one wish, one path to build, and one road to follow all through his life. Otherwise, it will be difficult to realize the clarity, peace, effectiveness, and prosperity. Excess breeds confusion and heterogeneity causes irritation. Only if “all methods are unified into one general principle”, and “all religions are unified into one uniform religion”, can the uniformity be realized. Only if the uniformity is realized, can we enjoy harmony, peace, auspiciousness, good weather, and a happy, joyful, free and blessed life. 15. Localism and nationalism are the symbols of barbarism and fatuity. No affairs on the earth belong to any particular nation or localism adherents. Instead, they belong to the whole of mankind. The administration of every region should be exercised not by the people chosen from among the locals or from among a local nation but by the most outstanding talents selected from the whole of mankind. Only if the talented are entrusted with important missions can the whole world be united as one family. Only in so doing can the toiling multitude obtain freedom and happiness. 16. Everyone has the power endowed by god to condemn and intervene in affairs in any corner of the earth and condemn and intervene in the affairs of all countries, all political parties, all religions, all nationalities, and all organizations. 17. You cannot enter the life of Home without marriage and family without leaving the traditional family, you can not escape the transmigration in the human world without cultivating celestial being, and you cannot enter Lifechanyuan Era without disbanding family, state, religion, and political parties.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
18. Man must seek the guidance and teachings of god, Buddha, immortals, and sages in order to enter the era of peace, nature, auspiciousness, happiness, and pleasure. We must revere Jesus Christ, Sakyamuni, Mohammad, and Lao Tzu, we must listen to their teachings and act accordingly. 19. The best way of funeral and internment in history is cremation, after which the ashes is sprinkled and scattered among the towering mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and seas, with no corpse, no tomb, and traces left behind. The system of funeral and internment prescribed by Lifechanyuan is beneficial to the future of LIFE of Chanyuan celestial. It minimizes the burden on friends and relatives. There would be no troubles caused to offspring by the occupation of space on the earth. It is the symbol of civilization and the sign of the sublimation of culture. In Lifechanyuan Era, the funeral and interment system of Lifechanyuan is implemented: the cremation after the death of man and the scattering of ashes among the rivers, lakes, seas, and green mountains and fields, which dispenses with the building of tombs, the keeping of ashes, the establishment of memorial, and the mark of any traces. 20. Compendium of holographic order management procedure for man’s new life: (1) Establish a global government, gradually disband all countries, cancel the immigrant bureaus and embassies of all countries, and permit the free movement of global citizens around the world.

(4) The interest of the whole mankind reigns supreme. Gradually make the disappearance of all political parties in the world. Adhere to one belief, one government, and one idea. A saint’s idea may become universal if he pursues the uniform truth. (5) The function of government lies solely in the general arrangement of man’s production and life. (6) Cancel the constitutions and laws of all countries, including the Charter of the United Nations, abolish all bylaws, commandments and dharma, and man will jointly abide by 800 Values for New Era Human Being. (7) New life of mankind shall dispense with family, close or distant relations, nationalities, and private properties. Everyone has nothing of his own but yet can possess everything.

800 Values for New Era Human Being

Man’s production and life are gradually transformed into a holographic order pattern which distinguishes no supervisor and supervisee. (26) Citizens all say what they feel like saying, do what they feel like doing, build their own road, and follow their own paths, not minding other people’s business. (27) Retain only the traditional and natural festivals, and annul all festivals related to god, Buddha, man, state, political party, army, and religion. (28) Celebrate no birthday. (29) Promote natural way of health preservation, guarantee everyone’s physical and mental health, and gradually eliminate the weakness of the system of hospitals, doctors, and medical treatment created by human wisdom, which may attend to one problem but at the same time neglect another. (30) Gradually ensure that Home without marriage and family may take charge of everyone’s food, clothes, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, disease, and death. Make sure that education and medical treatment is free of charge. (31) Lifechanyuan Era has no churches, Buddhist temples, mosques, Taoist temples, cloisters, and any architecture and idols used for worshipping or sacrifice. 21. The earth created by the Greatest Creator is for all people on the earth to inhabit. It is everyone’s responsibility to protect the earth. Everyone on
800 Values for New Era Human Being
the earth has the power endowed by the god to walk freely on the earth. However, the laws and regulations instituted by all countries and the frontier defenses and the immigration bureaus have hindered the free movement of people on the earth. Therefore, although the immigration bureaus of all countries have played certain functions during the early period of its establishment, the existence of immigration bureaus in all countries is against the principle of civilizations, against the will of the public, and against the Way of the Greatest Creator, so immigration bureaus should be banished. 22. Lifechanyuan Era shall last for a thousand years, during which the first one hundred to two hundred years will still be spent on the purification of souls. During this period, capitalist should be allowed to exist. The wealth owned by capitalists are results of their hard work and wisdom. Any individual’s personal wealth shall not be bereaved under any pretense or excuses. Private property shall in no way be plundered. Lifechanyuan follows the way of the Greatest Creator, the Way of the Greatest Creator is the Tao of nature, and the Way of the Greatest Creator does not preach any form of coercion. 23. Lifechanyuan revere LIFE and cherish LIFE. It does not tolerate harm and maltreatment of LIFE, including all forms of LIFE. It respects and cherishes not only god, Buddha, celestial beings, saint, man, animals, plants, and insects, it also respects demons, monsters, ghosts, devils, goblins, evil spirit, and other LIFE forms, because all beings have their values and significances for existence. 24. The life style of Lifechanyuan Era is an urbanized Xanadu. Not purely urban or rustic, it is a close combination between the two life styles, an intimate integration of the natural with the artificial. For
800 Values for New Era Human Being
example, a stretch of meadow is nature, but transformed into a lawn, it becomes artificial. Therefore, artificial intelligence cannot be dispensed with, science cannot be discarded, and power, telecommunications, and transportation, and other inventions created by science cannot be abandoned.

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 2:Home without marriage and family 25. Home without marriage and family is the new life pattern of man created by Lifechanyuan, which has been proved to be successful in practice. It is the transfer station between the human world and the heaven. 26. The general program of Home without marriage and family of man’s new life: unify all methods into one general principle, and unify all religions into one uniform religion, and unify the whole world with 800 Values for New Era Human Being, and lead mankind into Lifechanyuan Era, which is characterized by the absence of state, religion, political party, marriage and family, and spouse relationship, and 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”, everything will be in complete harmony, the weather will be good for harvest, and everyone will be happy, joyful, free and blessed. 27. Home without marriage and family mainly consists of people who are not ready to get married and establish a family, people who choose not to remarry and set up another family after divorce, and couples who are both Chanyuan celestial. This new life pattern mainly copies the life style of celestial beings in the Thousand-year World. The main content of the new life pattern includes mainly:
800 Values for New Era Human Being
1. No-ownership is practiced, with everyone owning nothing and yet possessing everything. 2. There is no marriage, no family, and no distinction between close and distant relations; the relationship between people is that between sisters, brothers, close relatives, and lovers. 3. Everyone tries his best and gets what he needs, and does not indulge in luxury and extravagance. 4. The homestead shall collectively be responsible for everyone’s food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, illness, and death, for the rearing and education of children, and for the nursing and supporting of the elderly people. 5. Everyone chooses a job according to his hobbies and special skills, and tries his best to ensure the best performance in the work he is responsible for. There should be no space for lazybones and easy riders in Home without marriage and family. 6. Everyone has a sacred free space—bedroom, which is free from disturbance and interference. No one should intrude into this free space under any pretense or excuse. The other spaces are public spaces and public places. 7. Everyone shall have a happy, joyful, free and blessed life. 8. Individuality shall blend with commonness, commonness shall accommodate individuality, and there shall be both uniform will and personally comfortable mood. Carry out the policy to ensure that everyone can show his special feats. Home without marriage and family is both an integrated group and a paradise consisting of mutually independent individuals.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
28. To scale the highest realm of life and LIFE, we should resolve to blend ourselves into the collective life, because without collective life our dream and ideal cannot be realized. Up to the present time, man has not yet tried the real collective life. A group of people working together cannot yet be counted as collective life. We are leading a real collective life only when the food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, illness, and death of all the members are included into the public interests under the circumstance of the absence of private properties, private ownership, and marriage and family and when in such situations people work, live, and have relaxation together, and share both blessing and woes. If there exist differences between individuals in terms of status, life, and enjoyment, then it means the divorce from the tenet of collective life. The collective life of Home without marriage and family is a huge melting pot, which is externally featureless but actually a smelting furnace with high temperature and high pressure. Those who can stand the smelting of this furnace will finally succeed in cultivation and become a celestial being. Those who can not will either endure the suffering and chastening in the furnace for a very long time or return to the secular society of the human world through another exit-the gate of man. 29. Home without marriage and family bombards the traditional marriage and family, which is a program of life infected with virus. Such virus will encroach upon the sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith and honesty in human nature and drag the originally happy, joyful, free and blessed life into the abyss of suffering, anxiety, enslavement, and desperation. To disband the traditional marriage and family and replace it with brand-new style of life is very important matter that concerns the happiness of every person. Leaving the traditional family for Home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan resembles outwardly leaving one family and entering another family, but actually the content of life is totally different. Home without marriage and family is not only
800 Values for New Era Human Being
capable of what the traditional family is capable of but also is capable of what the traditional family is incapable of. 30. Holographic order management, non-management is the best management. There is no law and yet law is prevalent everywhere; there are no regulations and yet regulations is everywhere—this is holographic order management. 31. Home without marriage and family is the No.1 home on the earth. A happy and auspicious place is the place blessed with the grace of the greatest Creator. A pleasant and jubilant place is the place cared for by Jesus Christ and Buddha Sakyamuni; and a free and beatific place is the place where the dreams of the sages and saints of past generations are realized. The first homestead is born for the grand adjustment of the LIFE of the universe. It serves the purification of the earth, and lays foundations for the new life of mankind after 2013. It is hoped that the virtuous people may find the gate to the first homestead as quickly as possible and become a member of the first home stead as soon as possible. This is the most important thing among all other issues that you have to address. It is time to redefine the traditional human relationship based on kin relations. All those who act on the order of the Greatest Creator are our relatives, and all those whose souls share the same frequency and resonate with ours are our relatives. 32. Collective life is superior to individual life. Collective life is the best place for self-improving and self-refining. If we cannot blend into the collective life and go through the edification and smelting of collective life, we will not be able to enter the heaven. 33. The building of the culture of Home without marriage and family: build up great trust; keep a state of gratitude;be straightforward and outspoken;be free in friendly feelings and sexual love;rely on the homestead;get rid of corruption, laziness, extravagance, and selfishness;strictly adhere to the Tao of nature;A
800 Values for New Era Human Being
tree may have tens of thousands of branches but you can hold onto the main trunk that may unify all the others. 34. Individual life is suitable only to selfish persons, while collective life is propitious to the unselfish persons. For those who are barbarian and ignorant, selfish, narrow-minded, hideous, jealous and resentful, and addicted to bad hobbies, individual life is what suits them best. For those who are civilized and well-bred, public-minded and unselfish, straightforward and broad-minded, loving and kind-hearted, and psychologically and physiologically sound, collective life is what suits them best. 35. Holographic order management is non-management. Everyone is the master and servant all at once. One is different from another only in the division of labor. There exists no relationship between the leaders and governed. Everyone tries his best to bring into full play the characters of sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith, and honesty. Everyone says what is in his mind, does his own work, take charge of his own responsibility, build his own path, and go his own way, minding not other’s business. He will be responsible for the Greatest Creator and himself, not for others. He will not offer help if no one seeks help, but he will immediately offer help if help is needed. Anyone who offers a suggestion will be responsible for its execution. Everyone will build a sacred court in his own conscience and pass judgment upon himself. 36. Laziness is the archenemy of Home without marriage and family. Diligence symbolizes beauty, while laziness represents ugliness. Diligence leads to a bright future, while laziness ruins the happiness endowed by the Greatest Creator. Laziness can destroy everything. It will make people sink into depravity; it will corrupt and erode people’s will, spirit, soul, and body. It will cause the collapse of a diligent collective. It will affect the spiritual health of a community like a virus, and eventually cast a listless and spiritless spell over everything. What meet the eyes will then be depression, ruin, and destruction.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
The laborers have the greatest souls. Although they may not be able to compose articles of great literary talent and wisdom, they may lack the skills for debate, they are not clever enough to exhibit their intelligence, they may be extremely ordinary, they may not be able to preach Buddhism and Taoism, they may not be able to recite or quote the phrases or sentences from classics, however they have the greatest souls. Their behaviors in themselves have proved that they have abided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, Sakyamuni, Lao Tzu, and sages and saints. 37. In order to realize the ideals of man’s sages and saints and the wishes of the broad masses, and to set a good example for mankind, Lifechanyuan has initiated the unprecedented model of the new life style of man in the future—Home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan. This is no longer idle theorizing but reality of life. Home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan is the copy of the Thousand-year World in the human world. It is the base of self-cultivation for Chanyuan celestial to thoroughly remould themselves and achieve a celestial being. It is the transfer station from the human world to the heaven. Home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan is exploring a new road of life for mankind. We firmly believe that when the whole of mankind lives according to the life pattern of Home without marriage and family the tribulations of mankind will be alleviated, everyone’s suffering will be eased, the deterioration of the nature may be reversed, and mankind will certainly enter the Lifechanyuan era that is to last a thousand years. Home without marriage and family to be built by Lifechanyuan can be said to be a sequel to the Utopian and communist practices in history, because it has not only preserved the quintessence of human wisdom, but also has expanded and innovated the new field of vision, and because it has not only averted from its deficiencies but also has perfected its theory and practice. Although in the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
actual process of practice there may still arise a variety of problems, however, as long as we are active in thinking, and practical and realistic, as long as we keep on improving and stick to the values of Chanyuan, we believe Home without marriage and family will set a good example for man to enter Lifechanyuan Era. Home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan has solved the problem that has been left over for thousands of years—the support of the old people. With the continuous consolidation and improvement of Home without marriage and family, Home without marriage and family will become the paradise not only for children, young people, and middle-aged people, but particularly for old people. If we stick to the values, bring our respective advantages into full play, and serve each other, we can guarantee our happy, joyful,free and blessed life. Then the LIFE prospect for the Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and the celestial islands continent of the Elysium World can be guaranteed. 38. Home without marriage and family will implement the holographic order management pattern, whose main connotation is that non-management is the best management.

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 3:The Greatest Creator and the Way of the Greatest Creator 41. Reverence for the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature, and adherence to the way of the Greatest Creator. 42.The core of the way of the Greatest Creator is the way of nature. There is no coercion attached to the way of the Greatest Creator. 43. There is a supernatural soul in the universe—the Greatest Creator. 44. The Greatest Creator is the supreme leader of the universe, the master of all gods, the cradle of LIFE, the birthplace of wisdom, the creator of the universe and LIFE, the driving force of the universe, the energy center of the universe, the sweet spring in the desert, and the beacon in the dense fog. The Greatest Creator is the ancestor of Buddha, Allah, Grand Brahma, and Heaven. 45. The essence of the Way of the Greatest Creator is nature, love, and Tao. Nature is the feature of structure, love is the feature of energy, and the Tao is the feature of consciousness. 46.The Greatest Creator has created the universe, and in the universe has established the 36-dimension space and 20 parallel worlds, and has laid
800 Values for New Era Human Being
down 36 Eight-Diagram tactics. Each has its respective magical functions, orders and rules. 47. The relation between man and the Greatest Creator is the most fundamental of all relations. 48. Nature is the Greatest Creator. That is to say, the Tao that governs everything and every phenomenon in the universe is evolving according to the order of the Greatest Creator. 49. The Greatest Creator has eight characteristics: only, amorphous, neutrality, mysterious, impartial, merciful, supremely powerful, and wise. 50. The Greatest Creator never conducts dialogues with a certain individual directly in the language of man. Everything is the language of the Greatest Creator. The changing phenomena are the dialogues between the Greatest Creator and man. People capable of understanding the wordless books are having direct dialogues with the Greatest Creator. 51. The Greatest Creator never records his will with words, never enters man’s mind to grant special edifications and instructions, never sounds out and reviews man, never worries that some deity or demon may usurp his throne, and never pass judgment on man. 52. Where is the Greatest Creator? The entity of the Greatest Creator is in the Zero World, and the spirit of the Greatest Creator is in everything in the universe. Where is the Zero World? The Zero World is the point of zero in the coordinate system, a point that X axis, Y axis, and Z axis will all pass through. The 20 parallel worlds are all connected with the point of zero. As a result, the Greatest Creator exists simultaneously in the 20
800 Values for New Era Human Being
parallel worlds. Without the Greatest Creator, there would be not any of the 20 worlds. 53. The Greatest Creator is the primary productive force. We need not conquer and transform nature. As long as we exist and live naturally in accordance with the natural laws, everything will be just fine. 54. The god in the Old Testament of the Bible is not the Greatest Creator. The Greatest Creator described in Lifechanyuan is not the well-known god in the bible, but the only spiritual entity with supernatural power and wisdom, which governs the operation and change of everything. In other words, the Greatest Creator is the headspring and primal momentum of everything. The consciousness of the Greatest Creator impartially acts on the whole universe and is not affected by the differences in the matter of races, religion, and states. Therefore there is only one Greatest Creator for the universe and mankind. Man’s conflicts in the areas of religion, race, and states are all caused by the failure to recognize the real Greatest Creator. 55. Every spiritualism and wisdom originates from the Greatest Creator, and all the glories remain with the Greatest Creator. 56. Wuji gives rise to Taiji, and Taiji is the Greatest Creator. Holographic order is the principle by which the Greatest Creator has created the universe. LIFE and the universe are created by the Greatest Creator in accordance with the strict law of physics. The Greatest Creator is the threshold of intellect, and the universe is the inevitable product of intellect. 57. Everything in nature is the language of the Greatest Creator, and every phenomenon in nature is the utterances of the Greatest Creator.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Everything perceived by man with eyes, ears, noses, tongues, and body is the language and words of the Greatest Creator. To understand the language and words of the Greatest Creator, vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and touch are not enough. Spiritual Perception is needed. Without spiritual perception, we can never understand the words and language of the Greatest Creator and we can never understand what he is saying. 58. Everything in the universe has been created by the Greatest Creator according to the laws and principles of science. People who have mastered these laws and principles are the messengers of the Greatest Creator. They have obtained the power to interpret the Greatest Creator’s World and guide mankind. 59. There is only one coincidence in the universe, the birth of the Greatest Creator. Other than that all other things are a matter of inevitability. Inevitability is the order of the universe, and the order of the universe is inevitability. The universe is harmoniously unified by the Tao. The Tao is law and principle. Everything within the scope of law and principle is inevitable. There are absolutely no coincident events. The Tao governs everything in the world. The purview of the Tao is so broad that nothing will be left out, and is so narrow that there is no such thing as the interior. Therefore everything that occurs in the universe is inevitable and not accidental. Coincidence is a link in the chain of inevitability. 60. There is no final judgment. Judgment is made at every moment. What judges LIFE is not the Greatest Creator, the god, the Buddha, or Hades, but Tao of the Greatest Creator. The Tao of the Greatest Creator is operating every minute of the day.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
61. As for the LIFE of the universe, it is the original intention and will of the Greatest Creator to let all LIVES forms live happily, joyfully, freely and blessedly. 62. The core of the Way of the Greatest Creator is “Reap what you have sown”. If you want to eat cucumber, then sow the seeds of cucumber in the field. In this way, what you may reap is undoubtedly cucumber, not watermelon or pumpkin. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Tao, by whose principle you may undoubtedly “reap what you have sown”. If you deviate from it, you may reap beans from the seeds of melon and reap melon from the seeds of bean. To be more specific, on the soil of selfishness, greed, jealousy, resentment, ignorance, fatuity, and trickery, you may reap something different from the seeds you have sown. You may reap beans from the seeds of melons and vice versa. Only on the soil of kindness, honesty, credibility, and unselfishness can you “reap what you have sown”. If you want to “reap what you have sown” and realize your dream, you must follow the Way of Nature. If you stray from it, hope will become desperation and comedy will evolves into tragedy. 63. Understanding the Greatest Creator, revering the Greatest Creator, believing the Greatest Creator, and following the Way of the Greatest Creator is the precondition for man to initiate his conscience. If a person has no Greatest Creator in his mind, it will be difficult for him to initiate his conscience and his conscience may die out. We can even say that such a person has no conscience and is a sly hard nut. Following the Way of the Greatest Creator is the fundamental prerequisite and guarantee for man and its individual members to lead a happy life.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
64. Anyone who wants to become the Greatest Creator is the incarnation or representative of demons; anyone who abets others to become the Greatest Creator is the representative and accomplice of demons. 65. Psychic energy is the highest level of energy in the universe, and the energy of spirit comes all from the Greatest Creator. As long as we continue to believe in the Greatest Creator and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, we will have no lack the energy of spirit. Vitality and Psyche are the energies second only to spirit. The energy of Vitality mainly comes from the pueuma between heaven and earth. And the pueuma between heaven and earth includes the energy brought to man by everything in nature, namely the energy given to man by all the beauty of nature and the energy of carbohydrates converted from food. The energy of Psyche mainly comes from the level of consciousness. It is a structural energy, a program energy, and a belief energy, and can also be generalized as the energy of Tao. 66. All the life can be called life of spiritualism as long as it takes the reverence for the Greatest Creator as its belief, perceive the profundity of the Tao with soul, pursues supreme authentic wisdom, and tries hard to achieve the highest realm of life. If you want to attain the life of spiritualism, you must listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ and march toward the Way of the Greatest Creator by following Jesus’ instructions. 67. Why should we take the Way of the Greatest Creator? Because we can get to any other space only via the Way of the Greatest Creator. Without the Greatest Creator, we can only circle in a certain space and can never get to any other space.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
68. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the road of happiness, joyfulness,, freedom and blessing. You are to keep a peaceful and rejoicing inner mind no matter whether you are in the favorable circumstance or in the adversity, in the face of desperation or death. You must be convinced that the Greatest Creator is perceptive of the slightest errors and is definite about punishments and rewards. You should be brave to have the Greatest Creator take charge of your LIFE and have the Tao manage your life. 69. All things created by the Greatest Creator are arranged in clearly defined layers. As long as we obey the arrangement of the Greatest Creator, strictly adhere to our duty in behavior, and move forward following the track of human nature, we will have an unregretful life, no matter whether we are in favorable circumstance or adversity, and whether we are in bright or dark situations. 70. Even god, Buddha, or celestial beings, or monsters, demons and goblins are powerless before the Greatest Creator. So on the road of our life and LIFE,everything will give way to us and cannot hurt us as long as we cling tightly to the hand of the Greatest Creator. 71. The Greatest Creator does not decide man’s destiny. Everyone’s destiny is in the final analysis brought about by himself. The destiny is the result of man’s consciousness. 72. Understanding things is not for the sole purpose of appreciating them and living harmoniously with them. What is more important is to make use of them to serve us and broaden the scope of our free activity to the greatest extent. Following the Way of the Greatest Creator is not to enduring hardships and sufferings but to enjoy life, enjoy LIFE, and obtain more happiness and pleasure.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
73. The most equitable “thing” in the universe is the Tao of the Greatest Creator, which is perceptive of everything and meticulously conducts punishment and rewards. We can reflect calmly on the reason why we are born into this world. All this can be called the combination of predestined relations or karmas. Everything seems to be in disorder. Everything seems to be a contingent arrangement. Actually, everything before us is caused by our former words and actions (karma), no matter whether we are in favorable circumstances or in adversity, and no matter whether we are happy or afflicted with sufferings. The results we have obtained are brought about by the former causes, including the causes of the former life or preexistence. 74. The Way of the Greatest Creator has eight connotations: 1. The universe is the product of the Greatest Creator; 2. Everything comes into being as a result of creation; 3. Everything operates in the consciousness—the Way of the Greatest Creator; 4. Exhibit one’s nature and act in accordance with the law of nature; 5. Revere and emulate the Greatest Creator; 6. Reality is the portraiture of the respective free consciousness of different LIFE forms; 7. Happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing are the theme of LIFE. 8. Everything is a game.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
75. Great love is like the mountain, and great love is wordless. The Greatest Creator’s love for us is constant and eternal. The Greatest Creator’s love for us has never been expressed in language. If conditions should be attached to love, if love should be expressed in words, if love should be repaid, then such love can be only called small love instead of great love. 76. Why should we revere the Greatest Creator? The Greatest Creator is the supreme king sovereignty of the universe, the creator of LIFE, and the guardian of equity and order. Without the Greatest Creator, there would be no universe; without the Greatest Creator, there would be no mankind; without the Greatest Creator, there would be no god and Buddha. So can we not feel awe and respect? Only if we feel the awe, will we hold our desire properly in check; only if we feel awe, can we obey the objective law and model after nature; only if we feel awe, can we understand that “there are divinities watching over us” so that we dare not harbor evil idea and conduct misdeeds; only if we feel awe, can we live in harmony with everything, beings, and nature instead of doing whatever we want to do and butchering beings. Awe and respect derive from a feeling of gratitude, humility, the passionate love for life, and the heart-felt esteem for the creator and governor. 77. If we don’t follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, we cannot solve the issue of survival; if we don’t sublime the quality of LIFE, there could not be excellent survival. 78. The Way of the Greatest Creator is neither private ownership nor public ownership but non-ownership, in which the resources are not occupied by any individual but publicly shared. Everyone gets what he needs and does not occupy and hoard. Only in this way can the human
800 Values for New Era Human Being
world become an ideal land and can the beautiful dreams of mankind be realized. 79. “Man proposed and god disposes”. That is to say, one’s success in achieving something and realizing certain wish and ideal relies on 30% individual diligence and 70% the natural environment. And natural environment in this sense is the Greatest Creator, the Tao, the program, the good timing, geographical convenience and harmonious human relations, and the nature. Human wisdom is very limited, and human endeavor is also very limited. If time and geographical position are not favorable, you may achieve nothing no matter how much effort you make. 80. Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can disengage yourself from the abyss of misery and arrive directly at the most ideal realm of LIFE . Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can connect the origin of the universe and enjoy the pleasure of LIFE anytime. Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can shake off the bondage of time and space and let your thinking and consciousness racing freely across the unlimited universe. Follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can accumulate your merits and virtues, you can pay back all your debts of numerous generations, you will have a limpid mind and clear consciousness, and realize your dream. 81. Following the Way of the Greatest Creator is most convenient, simple, direct and most effective. By following the Way of the Greatest Creator, you can dispense with all the taboos, you need not immerse yourself every day in the research and exploration of the Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, credibility, and art, you need not chant scriptures and pray every day, you need not go to a great length to
800 Values for New Era Human Being
cultivate special magical power and arts, you need not tread all the way to make inquiries about the enlightened, and you need not engage in harangue. All you need is to model after nature. 82. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Way of nature. Everything comes about naturally. It is against the Tao of nature to expect to obtain something and achieve something eagerly. “Success will come when conditions are ripe”—this is what is meant by nature. Force and compulsion are against nature. Conscious effort should be combined with adherence to the course of nature. Without conscious effort, we can only circle at the original spot and cannot walk out of the bewilderment and the 36 eight-diagram arrays. Without an attitude and state of mind that adhere to the course of nature, we will certainly feel anxious, we will contend, we will be hasty in action, and our eagerness for success will backfire and what we can get may only be the opposite of what we have wished. 83. For five thousand years man has had only a smattering of knowledge of the Greatest Creator. If we do not have a correct and relatively complete understanding of the Greatest Creator, we cannot feel awe and reverence for him. Without awe and reverence for the Greatest Creator, our life as an individual will be perplexed and doleful. The human society as a whole will not be able to eliminate the hidden troubles and establish an auspicious and peaceful vital force in harmony with nature. If an individual wants to have a perfect life, he has only one way, the Way of the Greatest Creator; if the whole society wants to keep itself from going astray, it has only one way to follow, the Way of the Greatest Creator. To follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, we should distinguish the Greatest Creator from god. The Greatest Creator is the Greatest Creator
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and god is god, we cannot confuse god with the Greatest Creator. The Greatest Creator is exclusive, but there are many different gods. Jesus is god, but he has instructed us in definite terms to execute the order of the heavenly father (the Greatest Creator). Therefore, following the Way of the Greatest Creator completely conforms to the teachings and will of Jesus. Thus, we must be on our guard and prevent ourselves from going astray when someone instructs us to follow the way of god and listen to the teachings of god, because even Satan is also a god. Of course, neither should we follow the way of Buddha, the way of celestial beings, the way of man, and the way of demons. 84. The Way of the Greatest Creator is profound and intensive. It has extremely rich connotations and extensions. It transcends time and space and governs everything in the universe. It is so extensive that there is no exterior and it can be so narrow that there is no interior. It operates everything and decides the universe. It is the Way of light, the Way of creation, the Way ofLIFE, the Way of love, the Way of freedom, the Way of happiness, the Way of magic, and the Way of holographic order. 85. The Greatest Creator is love, sincerity, kindness, beauty, faith and honesty, is happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing. so we should emulate the Greatest Creator. The Greatest Creator, as what it is called, is also a wonderful creator, so we should emulate the Greatest Creator and engage in labor and creation and derive pleasure from labor and creation. The Greatest Creator per se is also unselfish dedication. We can derive happiness from unselfish dedication. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 4:The Teachings of Jesus Christ Note: Definition of “God” Lifechanyuan calls “the Greatest Creator” in stead of “God”, which means the Greatest Creator is the headspring of LIFE, the supernatural wisdom in control of the universe and the birth and death of all things, the almighty creator of this magnificent universe. In Teachings of Jesus Christ part, the meaning of “God” equals to “the Greatest Creator”.
86. Jesus Christ is not the Greatest Creator. 87. The teaching of Jesus Christ is the way of truth and LIFE, and the journey to the heaven. 88. Do not put the Greatest Creator to the test. 89. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 90. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 91. I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. 92. Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
93. For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. 94. Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. 95. Don’t convict others as guilty, so that you will not be convicted as guilty by others, for in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you see about the thorns in the eyes of your brothers but fail to recognize the same defects in your own eyes? 96. Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces. 97. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 98. In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. 99. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to LIFE, and only a few find it. 100. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruits you can recognize them. 101. Not everyone who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
102. What is grand trust? It is 100% belief and trust, without any doubt. It means trusting both what you have understood and what you have temporarily not understood. If grand trust cannot be established, we would be like the water without source and the tree without roots. 103. Trust is truth, and love is LIFE. Trust can accomplish everything. Small trust bring about small achievement, grand trust bring about great achievement, but without trust you will be at loose ends and can achieve nothing. 104. You must be as shrewed as a snake and as innocent as a dove. 105. Those who stands firm to the end will be saved. 106. The savior of mankind—Jesus Christ tells us that in the realm of the Greatest Creator people do not marry or get married. Only those who do not marry or get married are entitled to enter the realm of the Greatest Creator, and those who want to marry or get married can never get to the realm of the Greatest Creator. 107. The disciples say, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry”. Jesus said to his disciples, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. Accept it if you can.” 108. I am here to cause division. The son is to rival his father, the daughter her mother, and the daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Man’s enemies are members of his own family. Whoever has a greater feeling for his parents than for me will not be good enough for me; anyone who has a deeper love for his children than for me will not be good enough for
800 Values for New Era Human Being
me; and anyone who does not accept his torture to follow me will not be good enough for me. 109. Whoever finds his LIFE will lose it, and whoever loses his LIFE for my sake will find it. 110. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 111. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother. 112. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 113. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit. 114. I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 115. For where two or three come together in my name (Jesus Christ), there am I with them. 116. My brother keeps on offending me, I will forgive him 77 times. If you don’t forgive your brother from the bottom of your heart, my Heavenly Father will also treat you likewise. 117. I will tell you honestly that it is very difficult for rich people to enter the kingdom in heaven. I will tell you again that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of the God (the Greatest Creator).
800 Values for New Era Human Being
118. Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 119. Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant; whoever wants to be first must be your slave. 120. I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. 121. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God(the Greatest Creator) what is God's(the Greatest Creator’s). 122. The Greatest Creator is not the God(the Greatest Creator) of the dead but of the living. 123. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 124. What goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him unclean. 125. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 126. Love the Lord your God(the Greatest Creator) with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 127. To worship the Greatest Creator, you need not go to churches or temples. The whole universe and man’s soul are places of worship for the Greatest Creator.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
128. Do not amass wealth for yourself on the earth, but you should accumulate wealth for yourself in heaven. Your heart and future will be wherever your wealth is. 129. The realm of our LIFE will certainly be reflected by what we value. We will live wherever our complete consciousness is. 130. The heaven will not offer rain if the land is a bleak wilderness; the heaven will not offer soul if the heart of man is a bleak wilderness. 131. If thought is concentrated on flesh, it will spell death; if thought is concentrated on spirit, it will engender LIFE and peace. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”
800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 5:
Buddha and the Way of Buddha
132. Buddha is nature, nature is Buddha. 133. “All Bhadras and Aryas differ on account of the Eternal Asamskrta Dharma.” 134. He who sees me by outward appearance and seeks me in sound, treads the heterodox path (And) cannot perceive the Tathagata. They should develop a mind which does not abide in anything. If minds abide somewhere, it will be in falsehood. You heart should not harbor any of these. Your heart should be void of ego, other people, age, a dharma, and a no-dharma. Emptiness is form and form is emptiness. 135. The merit and virtue of formless alms-giving outweigh those of seven-treasure alms-giving that are as countless as the sand grains of the Ganges. The retribution for formless alms-giving is inconceivable. One should give without a mind abiding in form, or he should give without a mind abiding in sound, or in smell, or in taste, or in touch or in things. A Bodhisattva should give alms without a mind abiding in false notions of form (laksana). Everything with form is unreal. All that is void of different forms is called Buddha. A bodhisattva should not be avid for merit and virtue. 136. If some says that Buddha Sakyamuni is preaching dharma, then he is slandering Buddha and does not understand the essence of Buddha’s teaching
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and the gist of the way of Buddha. All dharma is the way of Buddha. The real way of Buddha is free from an ego, a personality, a being, a life, and a dharma. All phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble and a shadow, like dew and lightning. Thus should you meditate upon them. 137. The way to the “Supreme Authentic Wisdom” is: cultivate spiritual perception, act in accordance with nature and model after nature. To get the real experience and savoring of “Supreme Authentic Wisdom”, you have firstly to have spiritual perception rather than rely on wisdom; you have to act in accordance with nature rather than rely on the knowledge and ideas that have been accumulated; and modeling after nature but look for a shortcut. Lao Tzu has long ago warned people in Tao Te Ching, “the Main path is easy to walk on, Yet people love the small by-paths.” If we do not act like children who behave as accords their character, do not unfold the screenplay of life following the natural laws, but are bent on finding the way to “Supreme Authentic Wisdom”, then we are giving up the main road for by-paths. If we want to acquire “Supreme Authentic Wisdom”, we should first build our garden of soul. A long journey begins with a small step, and rivers come from the confluences of numerous streams. If we do not build our garden of soul, we cannot achieve any beautiful wishes, and cannot realize any beautiful ideals. If we don’t build our garden of soul, we can never acquire “Supreme Authentic Wisdom”. 138. The Diamond Sutra is the Himalayas of wisdom. 139. Emptiness is not different from form and form is the same as emptiness. What is visional is real and what is real is illusive. 140. All phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble and a shadow, like dew and lightning. Thus should you meditate upon them. All dharma of inaction cannot be expressed. It comes like lightning and vanished like illusion. There is no nonentity and no entity, no sound and no breath, no border and no edge, no
800 Values for New Era Human Being
move and no target. It is invisible, intangible, and tremendously powerful. It can not be stolen, cannot be hidden. It is forever changing. Everything is it, and yet it is not everything. Conform to it, we will enjoy smooth faring and peace for tens of thousands of years; go against it, we may encounter full of frustrations and incur disaster to the future. 141. Buddha Sakyamuni is not the ancestor of Buddha. 142. The Tathagatas' words are true and correspond to reality. They are ultimate words, neither deceitful nor heterodox. The Dharma the Tathagata has obtained is neither real nor unreal. The Tathagata possesses human eyes, deva eyes, wisdom eyes, Dharma eyes, Buddha eyes. Tathagata is so named because Buddha is as he is, coming from nowhere and going nowhere. 143. All different dharma are not separate from their inherent nature. An enlightened heart is perceptive of nature, and perception of nature can leading to the attainment of Buddhahood. 144. Once you have perceived your own nature, you can attain Buddhahood through insight or sudden enlightenment. However, to perceive your own nature, you need to go through daily accumulation. Without endless meditation, without the accumulated cultivation for generations, it would be difficult to associate yourself with Buddhism and understand the recondite way of Buddha. 145. The qualitative change of everything comes about as a result of the accumulation of quantitative changes. Only if the accumulation of quantitative changes have reached the critical point, will it be possible for you to attain Buddhahood via sudden enlightenment. The qualitative change is the result of quantitative changes. Self-cultivation and self-refining has no shortcut to insight and sudden enlightenment. You can reach the ideal destination only through quantitative accumulation in a down-to-earth manner. You can complete the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
process from the quantitative change to the qualitative change only by getting across the critical point. 146. The real “instant enlightenment” means a state of consciousness, which is characterized by the sudden enlightenment and reached after the quantitative changes have arrived at the limit and get across the critical point and have thus caused the sudden qualitative change. 147. People who have attained Buddhahood possess three major symbols: 1. The meeting of Tathagata; 2. The achievement of the inaction and non-form; 3. No abode for the mind. Namely, anyone who has met the three conditions will become and will be a Buddha. 148. Tathagata is the natural character. Diamond Sutra says, “If all forms are seen as unreal, the Tathagata will be perceived”. Tathagata does not have any specific form, and anything that possesses a concrete form is not Tathagata. Therefore, man is not Tathagata, and only the natural character of man is Tathagata. Only after you have recognized your natural character, can you see Tathagata. The moment you see Tathagata, you will become a Buddha, and you will be a Buddha, because you have regained your innocence and you have understood “all forms are seen as unreal.” 149. When you realize that your flesh is not yourself and only Tathagata of natural character is yourself, then you can get into the mustard seed. Tathagata of natural character can be so expansive that it has no border and limit, and still it can be so small that it can be incredibly traceless. Mustard seed can be an astronomical universe, and the incredibly traceless you can easily enter the mustard seed and travel around in its world.

150. With action, you will certainly tread awry; with action, fault is likely to occur in the perfect structure of Tathagata of natural character. The more actions you do, the further away you will be from the true nature. The more actions you have, the more difficult it will be for you to return to innocence. In one word, with action it will be difficult to attain Buddhahood. The stronger the desire, the greater the action. Laities are people with action, so what laities seek after is only fantasy and illusion. The greater the action, the lower the level of LIFE; and the smaller the action, the higher the level of LIFE; and herein lies the difference between man on the one hand and saints, sages, celestial beings and Buddha on the other. 151. With inaction, you can achieve everything. And only after you have reached the realm of inaction, can you do what you want to do. 152. You can obtain eternal enjoyment of LIFE by giving alms without your mind abiding in false notions. Giving away a thousand strings of coins to someone is not as good as giving him a scripture, and giving him a scripture is not as good as enlightening him on profound truth. The supreme great awakening and great wisdom is formless. The formless alms giving can foster supreme great awakening and great wisdom. Therefore the greatest alms giving is the formless alms giving. 153. Formless alms giving, or giving alms without your mind abiding in false notions, means that when you are giving alms, you will not have the notion of the self capable of giving alms, the person receiving the alms, and the object being given as alms. And of course you should not harbor the idea that you may be repaid after giving the alms. You do good deeds and yet do not expect your kindness to be repaid, and that is called formless alms giving. Formless alms giving means that you seek no interest but intend to completely meet the needs of other people, alms given without any care for costs or recompense. The virtue and merit of formless alms giving are infinite.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
154. Giving alms with your mind abiding in false notions. Such alms giving shall be called form-based alms giving if giving alms is for the sake of fame, and benefit, and for fear of falling into the evil path, and even for the purpose of obtaining one’s health and blessing. Form-based alms giving belongs to limited virtues and merits. 155. It is relatively easy to be free of an ego, a personality, a being, and a life. But to attain real Buddhahood, one must yet pass the two other difficulties: heart form and dharma form. Heart form and dharma form however are two precipices which are extremely difficult to break through. 156. One must examine and perceive who himself is in a state free from an ego, a personality, a being, a life, a dharma, a non-dharma, an entity, and a nonentity, and at the same time live in the real world to verify in a down-to-earth manner the distance between the self in the real life and the self of Tathagata. You ascend the mountain to observe and examine and descend the mountain to verify the distance. You shall repeat the process again and again before you can understand the profundity. 157. Many people put up the figures of Buddha and Jesus Christ inside the house for the purpose of worshipping. Many people cling tightly to scriptures. They do so because they are still constrained by heart form and dharma form. It is for this very reason that Buddha tells us to chuck away the rafts after we are ferried across the river. And this is also why Jesus Christ tells those people who always have Lord on their lips, “I don’t know you”. 158. Lifechanyuan believes that a person who seriously seeks to attain Buddhahood should build a stupa in his mind and that although the exterior stupa is important, the interior stupa is even more important. Buddha tells us, “all forms are seen as unreal”. Therefore, the stupa that has a form is illusive, and the real stupa is formless stupa. We should build stupa in our mind, we shall
800 Values for New Era Human Being
help those pious Buddhist believers to build stupas in their minds instead of wasting a lot of manpower and money on the building of resplendent and magnificent exterior stupas. The exterior stupas are forms, only the stupas in mind are formless, and only formless stupas are the real stupas. 159. The Way Of Buddha is only a stepping stone and a ferry, and is not the heaven per se. Therefore, after you have completely understood the way of Buddha, you will inevitably enter Lifechanyuan. Without the baptism of the spiritual river of Lifechanyuan, you can not ascend the spiritual mountain and reach the Faramita. 160. All rules are Buddha’s rules, and yet all rules are not Buddha’s rules. Buddha has no settled rules. Buddha's rules is always variable according to the situation. 161. Our settled place for LIFE—guided by Buddhist teaching and following the direction of life pointed out by Jesus Christ, we will move closer and closer toward the Greatest Creator. 162. Nature is the Greatest Creator, the ancestor of Buddha, and Allah, but nature is at the same time Satan. Nature is the origin, Tathagata, and fountainhead, but nature is at the same time tributary. Nature can be innate and acquired. The innate nature is clear and limpid and spotless, the acquired nature is in a riotous profusion of colors but is also full of dregs and dirt. Innate nature is inborn nature, acquired nature is developed and learned. Innate nature embodies the characteristics of the Greatest Creator, god and Buddha, while acquired(inherence)nature represents the nature and instinct of life after transmigration, and habit or second nature refers to the survival inertia of man after the set of thinking is formulated. 163. For a clear-sighted mind to perceive the nature, we should first understand the origin of LIFE, the structure of LIFE, the essence of LIFE, and the evolution
800 Values for New Era Human Being
of LIFE. If we cannot obtain a clear understanding of these issues, we will not be able to perceive nature, and thus we cannot perceive our nature of origin. Only if we have perceived our nature, can we have an enlightened mind. If we don’t understand nature, for example the nature of beast, man, Buddha, and demon, our mind will only be befuddled and we can not have an enlightened mind. 164. If one wants to attain Buddhahood, he must voluntarily achieve the penniless state, not only disowning his money, fame and gain, properties, belle, family, and social status, and the like, but also abstaining from arguing with earthlings on account of a certain idea that he sticks to. What’s more, he should not kill life and eat flesh. If you want to enter the Thousand-year World in future life, you must have perfect human nature. 165. The infinitely merciful Buddha with boundless beneficence has already built a raft to ferry life across the sea of misery to the Faramita. People wishing to attain Great Vehicle can reach the other shore of heaven by following the teaching of Buddha. The virtue and merits of reciting and explaining Diamond Sutra will exceed those of the seven-treasure alms giving, which are as numerous as the sand grains of the Ganges. The retribution will be inconceivable. 166. Those wishing to attain minor vehicle have an ego, a form, and scripture. Those wishing to attain middle vehicle dissolve the ego, the form and the scripture. Those whishing to attain the Great Vehicle have no ego, no form and no scripture. Those wishing to attain the Supreme Vehicle smash Buddha, form and scripture on the other shore. Viewed in these perspectives, those who burn joss sticks, worship Buddha and recite sutras belong to minor vehicle. Those who explain sutras to others belong to the middle vehicle, those who preach Buddhism and conduct meditations belong to Great Vehicle, and those who abuse Buddha and sutras belong to the Supreme Vehicle. Attention, please.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Only those people who are accomplished in the way of Buddha and have attained Tao are in a position to abuse Buddha and sutras. Ordinary people should never do so, otherwise they will be deeply sinned and beyond redemption. 167. If we are always thinking of Buddha in our mind and if our minds are always persistent in the thought of Buddha, we may never see Buddha and can never attain Buddhahood. “If you set your mind to the success of something, you may be frustrated with failure; and yet you may succeed in something you have accidentally and unintentionally set about doing”. I have once again emphasized that we don’t follow the path of god, the path of Buddha, the path of immortal, and the path of man, but we shall only take the way of the Greatest Creator. In fact if we followed the way of the Greatest Creator, we might one day discover that we have achieved the path of god, Buddha, immortal, and man.

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 6:The Road to Celestial Being 168. You may actually refine yourself by immersing yourself in the world of laities; you may keep yourself aloof from the worldly affairs by involving yourself in them; you can accomplish your wish with your devotion; and you may make yourself outstanding from the ordinary by following the steps of the ordinary. 169. You can have the self only if you don’t have the self; you won’t have the self if you are encumbered by the self. 170. The more you possess, the more trouble you will have; What is surplus may prove a life-threatening burden to you. 171. It is difficult to cultivate Tao, even more difficult than the cliff path of Sichuan or even more difficult than scaling the heaven; it is difficult to attain celestial immortality, because it is difficult to get rid of the encumbrance of the worldly affairs. 172. To attain celestial immortality, you must make more commitment, paying off as soon as possible the debts you have owed for generations, and ridding life of the universal gravitation of human world, animal world, plant world, and inferno.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
173. The end point of form is emptiness, not the nothingness but the deiformity. Immerse yourself in the deiformity and you become a celestial. 174. Fame, power, wealth and rank are traps. Glory and humiliation, and favor and humbleness are obstacles. Only with little selfish desire and indifference to favor and humiliation, can you embark on the road to celestial immortality. The lack of selfish desire is the starting point of becoming a celestial being. If the selfishness is not banished, you will be bound by a life of a laity, and if the desire is not extinguished, you may be engulfed by the fire of desire. If you want to be a celestial being, you must decrease your selfishness and weaken your desire, you must keep a sober mind in the face of fame, power and carnal pleasure, you should not be enslaved by material but use it at your will. 175. Flunkies sacrifice their life for profits, literati sacrifice their life for fame, scientists sacrifice their life for duty, ordinary people sacrifice their life for family, politicians sacrifice their life for the state, saints sacrifice their life for the world, and celestials sacrifice their life for Tao. 176. Love nature, you can hear the sound of nature and understand its meaning, you can taste the profundity of the Creator, you can understand the sanctity and order of the Greatest Creator, you can arouse your power of mercy and sympathy, you can treat everything in the universe equally, and you will be exempted from the vexation and worries resulting from the distinction between the noble and the humble, and you can prevent yourself from being eliminated by the principle of life. 177. If you want to become a celestial, you must be detached from the worldly affairs and withdraw from the worldly pursuit. There is only one word to describe the secular world: restlessness. There is only one word to depict the human world: noisiness. There is only one word to portray the fairyland:
800 Values for New Era Human Being
serenity. Transcendence over the worldly affairs means the great distance from restlessness and noisiness and a return to serenity. 178. Each kind of life structure lives in its corresponding space. Animals rush about on the earth, birds soar in the sky, bees buzz among the flowers, flies fleet to and fro between garbage piles, laities hustle and bustle in the private ownership of family, the sages wander freely in the public ownership, the celestial being loiter in the non-ownership, and fairies follow their own inclinations in their own world. Chanyuan celestial undergoes transition from the private ownership to public ownership, to non-ownership, and finally to free world. 179. One of the secrets for attaining celestial being is that we shall create the future and the fairyland in our consciousness. We shall first imagines ourselves as celestial beings in our consciousness. “The different modes of thinking will correspond to different modalities of life forms”. If we are always envisioning the life in the Thousand-year World, in the long run the structure of our life will be developed toward that of Thousand-year World. When the conditions are right, we can go to the Thousand-year World. Others may think that you are dead, but actually you have departed the human world to enjoy the celestial being’s life in the Thousand-year World. 180. Buddhism has theories of “five monastic precepts and ten kindnesses”, and “precepts, calmness, and
wisdom”, Christianity has theories of original sins
and penance, and human ethics has theories of rules governing human relationships, while the theories of celestial immortality preach the exposition of nature, freedom and pleasure, following the predestined relationship, freedom from restraint, and peripateticism.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
181. If we are very tired and fatigued in life, we have strayed far from the Way of celestial; if we are more and more happy in life, if we are more and more unrestrained in life, then we are closer and closer to the Way of celestial. 182. Swine must have the thinking of the swine keeper if they want to know the meaning of their life. Man must know the thinking of their keeper if they want to know the meaning of their life. Anyone who knows the meaning of his life has achieved celestial. 183. If you want to become a celestial being, you must strive to find the “spiritual pure land”. You must plan your life around “spiritual pure land”. If you want to achieve celestial immortality, you must spread your love across the world. If you want to achieve celestial immortality, you must pool in effort to build the home without marriage and family of Lifechanyuan. 184. Eight major consciousnesses are involved in the process from the human world to the heaven, namely from human being to celestial being: (1). Consciousness of life. LIFE is an nonmaterial structure with spiritualism. It undergoes endless transmigration without annihilation. (2). Consciousness of life and death. Life and death are only superficial phenomena and not essence, and they are only forms and not root. “Boundless grasses over the plain; Come and go with every season; Wildfire never quite consumes them ; They are tall once more in the spring wind” When the boat reaches the other shore, you should disembark and forget about the boat. (3). Consciousness of karma. “As a man sows and so he shall reap”, “Mills of god grind slowly but surely”. (4). Consciousness of space. There are 20 parallel worlds in the universe, 36-dimensional space, and paradises and hells. Paradises are prepared for the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
perfect persons, and hells are set up for the defected ones. There are different spaces of life for different life states. (5). Consciousness of predestined relationships. All are predestined. A relationship with ghosts will make one go to the hell, a relationship with celestial being will make one go to the fairyland. If the debts are not paid off, one cannot walk out of the plight, and if one does not have enough merits and virtue, he cannot reach the fairyland. (6). The consciousness of mind and nature. Reality is the projection of consciousness, consciousness creates realities. Phenomena arise from mind and mind transcends all phenomena. “Mind is the most important of the Three Realms, and consciousness is the most important of all rules” The fragrance will attract butterflies to flowers, and a pure heart will be frequented by celestial beings. A mind that does not abide anywhere is Tathagata. Nature is the characteristic of structure, and nature is Buddha. (7). The consciousness of magical arrays. In the universe there are 36 magical arrays, which are the sources of games. They are full of fun. For example, power, money, fame, gain, carnal pleasure, and sentiment are magical arrays, from which one can not detach himself once plunged in them. Only if one has acquired the supreme Authentic Wisdom, can he transport himself outside the samsara world and the transmigration. (8). The consciousness of the real self. Everything has its source, and the source is the real self. Consciousness, structure and energy are the three constituent elements of the universe. Others are “like a dream, an illusion, a bubble and a shadow, like dew and lightning. Thus should you meditate upon them”. Buddha and the Greatest Creator is the source of everything and the real self. Understanding the Greatest Creator and following Way of the Greatest Creator,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
you will find any of the eighty four thousand Buddhist gates leading to a smooth path. If you don’t understand the Greatest Creator and follow Way of the Greatest Creator, you will find any of the eighty four thousand Buddhist gates leading to a cliff. 185. How to achieve these consciousnesses? If you can cultivate a righteous body and mind, true spirit and soul will abide within them and great capability and virtues will arise from them. If you don’t have the wish of Great Vehicle, you may find it difficult to understand the profundity of the universe and difficult to achieve these consciousnesses. If you can stick to and keep the “universality” , have no self and selfish desire, revere the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature wholeheartedly, follow Way of the Greatest Creator, and devote your heart and soul to the creation of a reality in which “the talented will be put to good use, and the whole world will be one family”, in which “no one would pocket anything found on the ground, and doors are not bolted at night”, and in which everything is in harmony, the weather are perfect, and everyone is happy, joyful, free and blessed, then the light of the soul will become brighter and brighter and the consciousnesses will become clearer and clearer and the eight consciousnesses will finally be achieved. 186. If conditions are not ripe, the programme cannot be initiated. One cannot achieve celestial being if the self-improving and self-refining has not achieved an ideal status.

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 7:Tao 187. Tao is the consciousness of the Greatest Creator, the blood of the universe, the nature, the synthesis of all rules and laws, and the general programme that governs the operation of everything in the universe. 188. Tao has eight characteristics: holographic order, eternal reliability, sense and response instantaneously, lack of interior and exterior and transcendence over time and space, spirituality, fairness, no sluggishness, illusiveness and substantiality. 189. The connotation of everything represented by Tao is expressed in form. Without form, the connotation of Tao will be difficult to materialize. Form is the embodiment of Tao, but is by no means Tao. In the same way, the cell of human body is the embodiment of human body but the cell is absolutely not man. 190. Tao exists in everything, and everything exists in Tao. Tao is one. The bulky universe has only one consciousness, the consciousness of the Greatest Creator, which is represented by way of Tao. 191. The attribute of Tao has no contradictions.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
192. The operation of Tao begins with the minor details, completes in dribs and drabs, and consummates in the profound and subtle. However, there is no knack to it. 193. Zen is the best approach through which one can achieve the enlightenment of Tao. Any other approaches can be described in words, only Zen can be perceived with soul. Having understood the truth of Zen, you need not go to school, because the heaven and the earth and all phenomena are books. Any time, no matter whether we are awake or asleep, we are always reading the book of heaven and earth and all the phenomena. 194. One thing is eternal. From the remote past to the infinite future, it has been committing itself silently. Its idea can change any time, but its essence always remains the same, in the past, at present, or in the future. As long as we are willing to, we can rely on it at any time. And this is the place where we can settle for life. It is Tao. Tao is the embodiment of the consciousness of the Greatest Creator, and the soul of the Greatest Creator. By entrusting life to the care of Tao, we are entrusting life to the care of the consciousness and soul of the Greatest Creator. In one word, we must entrust life to the care of the Greatest Creator. 195. Without use, the entity will not be of no avail. This is a big secret, which means that the connotation of the entity is exhibited through its “use”. To obtain the entity, one must spend time and effort on “use”. Without “use”, the entity will not be obtained. Only if we have exhibited our “use”, can we achieve Tao, because the value of thing lies in its “use”. Without use, one cannot obtain the entity.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
196. The value of a thing lies in its use. The functions and values of Tao are embodied completely in the use. The greater and the more the use, the greater the value. The objects in the universe all exhibit their values through their uses. As far as man is concerned, the more uses one has or the greater use one has, the greater value he will have and the greater connotation he will have. Therefore, he will be more likely to endure. We cultivate ourselves so that we can expand our uses. The more useful we are, the greater achievements we will obtain in cultivation. 197. The characteristic of Tao is holographic order. Chaos is the phenomenon of holographic order, while holographic order is the essence of chaos. In mankind, 999999 out of million see the world as a chaos, one out a million people view the world as a holographic order. Jesus, Sakyamuni, and Lao Tzu are great because the world in their eyes is holographic rather than chaotic. The perception of chaos is narrow-sensed, unilateral, local and linear, while the perception of holographic order is broad-sensed, comprehensive, integrate, and nonlinear. 198. To cultivate oneself is mainly to change oneself rather than change the environment. If you do not change yourself, the environment will never change, if you change yourself, the environment will also change accordingly. 199.To learn from Tao, one must learn from everything in nature, from the mirror, and from children. To achieve Tao, one must forget himself and faithfully reflect the truth and facts. Those who have achieved Tao are like mirrors, which truthfully reflect everything, including the endlessly changing world outside. You shall not distort facts and scenes. One who has no self but can faithfully reflect the truth and facts is one who has achieved Tao.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
200.The pursuit of various arts is a small matter, but the pursuit of Tao is an important matter. It is easy to acquire and learn art but extremely difficult to achieve Tao. Don’t fall into and get stuck in the traps of arts, because arts are endless. The research of arts can not be completed in a hundred thousand years, so let’s rush directly to the headstream—Tao. 201. It is difficult to scale the heaven, but it is even more difficult to understand oneself. It is difficult to pursue Tao, but it is more difficult to confront oneself truthfully. 202. Chickens and dogs will not follow to enter the paradise as a result you have acquired Tao; friends and relatives cannot achieve celestial being simply because you have succeeded in achieving celestial being. Everyone must achieve Tao with his or her own effort. 203. Our cultivation shall be concentrated on the perception of Tao, the pursuit, the acquisition, and the practice of Tao, and we should not be infatuated with exploits, magic, arts, and ceremonies. We should pay attention to the connotation instead of the appearance and forms. The core of cultivation is to perfect the nonmaterial structure of life rather than obtain wisdom and extrasensory perception and psychokinetic power. We should concentrate our effort on our thinking, on the transformation of consciousness instead of on sitting cross-legged and practicing one’s skill. 204. The perception, pursuit, verification, acquisition, and maintain of Tao is the road to the sublimation of life. The perception of Tao is to understand, by observing the endless variety of phenomena in the boundless universe, the laws and rules that govern the operation of the universe, the origin of all things and phenomena, the principles of the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
operation of life, and the secrets and profound mystery of the universe, time and space, and life and being. The pursuit of Tao is to establish one’s own outlook on world, life, being, and values on the basis of the perception of Tao. The verification of Tao is to constantly validate through one’s practices whether the outlooks on the world, the life, the being, and the value are correct and conform to the laws and procedures of the evolution of Tao. The acquisition of Tao means that one has understood the secrets and profound mystery of the universe, time and space, and life and being, and has established unbreakably correct views on the world, life, being, and values. The maintain of Tao means that one will self-improve, self-refine, and behave according to the views on the world, life, being, and values that one has established, and will stick to his faith and belief no matter how the world may change, what great event has happened in the vicinity, whether he is in favorable circumstances or in adversity, and no matter how great the temptation he is faced with. He will remain resilient and strong even after going through endless battering of hurricanes from every direction. He will remain seated on the fishing boat, unaffected by the surging stormy waves. Jesus’ teaching that “one who has the greatest endurance will be saved” is the corn meaning of maintaining Tao. 205. The wood may break into halves under constant sawing, the hard rock may be worn away by constant dripping of water, so the pursuer of Tao should persevere in their effort. A channel will come into being wherever the water flows, and things will be easily settled when conditions are ripe. The person who has acquired Tao can grasp the mystery of nature. 206. 10-9=Tao. The “Tao” has intricate layers of connotations. However, when put in a nutshell, Tao is simply the law and the order, or the one.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
For man, the meaning of 10-9 is: cast away the numerous and complicated matters in life and concentrate all one’s effort on one thing. As long as we have thoroughly, intensively, and completely attended to one matter, we can obtain from it all that we need. That is to say, as long as we stick to one, it means we have into the “Tao”. Undivided attention, whole-hearted devotion, total commitment, and perseverance are the embodiment of 10-9. As long as we are capable of 10-9, there will be nothing that cannot be achieved—the constant water drops will wear away a hard stone, the sawing will break wood in halves, the pedicles will come off naturally when the melons are ripe, and a channel will be formed when the water arrives. 207. Who can change the program of the evolution of Tao? We should not attempt to change it. What we need to do is escape from the traps of LIFE. Those who cannot save themselves cannot save others. Can the poverty-stricken offer financial help to others? Can the imprisoned help other prisoners escape from the prison? Those who have fallen into the trap should first find a way of escape in thinking and consciousness. As long as you are awake spiritually and sober mentally, you can escape from the trap of LIEF step by step. 208. The supreme Tao cannot be pursued by personal relationships; instead it can only be achieved by perfecting the nonmaterial structure of life and by forming the same frequency and resonance with the one that you yearn for. The same frequency and resonance is the only correct and effect magical gate to the acquisition of the Supreme Tao. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 8:The Time and Space of the Universe 209. The universe is the product of the consciousness of the Greatest Creator. 210. The universe does not originate from the Big Bang. Instead, the universe has come into being because Wuji gives birth to Taiji and chaos evolves into holographic order. 211.There are eight powers in the universe: magnetic force, gravitation, strong force, weak force, tectonic force, repulsive force, conscious force and spiritual force. 212. Man lives in xy world, spirit lives in –x-y world, god and Buddha live in xyz world, monsters and demons live in –x-y-z world, the Thousand-year World is in xy-z world, the Ten-thousand-year World is in x-y-z world, and the Celestial Islands Continent is in xyz world. 213. The universe exists for life, and life exists for the universe. When life dies out, the universe will perish. When the universe is dead, life will be extinct. 214. The whole solar system has been set up for man on earth and to serve man.

215.The moon has not come into being naturally; instead it has been created specially for life on earth. Apart from other functions, the moon also serves as a warehouse. 216. The aerosphere is the skin of the earth, the ozonosphere is the protector of life on earth, water is the blood of earth, and photosynthesis is the headspring of food for life. Symmetry in nature is a mysterious force, the perfect scale is golden mean, the brain is the epitome of the universe, gene is the sealed book of life, conditioned reflex is the protective mechanism of life, and the pleasure of sex is not only for the continuation of the ancestral line, and the beauty of nature is the masterpiece of the Greatest Creator. 217.The UFO that we now occasionally spot in the sky are not from the outer space but from the center of the moon, which is a gigantic warehouse where stores many “tools” that celestial fairies have once used. And UFO is one of these tools. The moon has a gate, which can be opened any time. Beneath the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, there is a huge “palace”, which the celestial fairies use as a temporary lodge on earth. When such needs arise, the celestial fairies can exercise “remote control” of the “UFO” within the moon at any time and visit the earth. 218.In the universe there is a negative cosmic velocity, namely the speed of nonmaterial, which is faster than the velocity of light. 219. Everything in the universe moves in Tao, the souls of all LIFE forms are connected with the soul of the Greatest Creator. Everything and every phenomenon have to abide by their own principles and laws, no matter it is the operation of the celestial bodies, or the actions of ants and bees.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Everything is controlled by Tao. The universe is holographic and an idea can be spread across the universe in an instant. 220. The total energy of the universe is zero. The universe maintains its relative stable order with a zero total energy. 221. The connotation of holographic order of the universe means that the universe can be so expansive that there is no such a thing as exterior, and that the universe can be so small that there is no such a thing as interior. Every thing is in holographic telepathy with the universe. There are no things independent of other things, and there is no phenomenon independent of other phenomena. 222. The unity of opposites is only the phenomenon of the universe rather than the essence of the universe. The essence of the universe is holographic order. 223. The universe can be divided into macrocosm and microcosm. The universe without a border is called macrocosm and the universe with a border is called a microcosm. The macrocosm consists of vast number of microcosms. The universe in which man exists is a microcosm, which is called geocosmo. The structure of geocosm is a Taiji ellipsoid, which is called the Law Rotary Galaxy. The Law Rotary Galaxy consists of about 3000 Rotary-River Galaxies. Each Rotary-River Galaxy is composed of about three thousand Milk Way Systems, and each Milk Way System is made up of about three thousand Solar Systems. 224. Illustrate the truth of the existence of the universe, expound on the connotation of Tao of the Greatest Creator, and make everyone believe and rely on the Greatest Creator, and build an effectively operating program that guarantees the happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing
800 Values for New Era Human Being
of everyone—this is the only recipe for all the social issues of present time. There is no alternative way out. 225. All objects within the scope of time, including the celestial bodies, have an origin, a time of birth and a course of development. The universe is no exception. Wuji reigned supreme before the birth of the universe. The state of Wuji is: the lack of exterior and interior, the absence of large and small, the lack of border, the absence of nonentity and entity, the nonexistence of time, space, substance, and spirit. All is a state of clearness and brightness as well as chaos. All is a state of existence and all is a state of nonexistence. 226. Chaos is a disorderly state, while holographic order is an orderly state. Chaos is the state before the formation of the universe, while holographic order is the state after the formation of the universe. Chaos means mess and lack of order; holographic means wholeness and inseparable integrity; Dun means a borderless and expansive state. In the state of chaos, there is no heaven, no earth, no border, no limit, no center, no yin and yang, and no middle way. In the state of holographic order, there is Taiji, the one in the unity of opposites, the two poles, and middle way. 227. The law that maintains the zero sum of the positive and negative energies in the universe is called law of cause and effect. 228. It is rightly because of the existence of nature that different things have unfolded the clear-layered, well-structured, and multiform and constantly changing wonder of life. If everything is devoid of its nature, the universe will return to the state of chaos.

229. The material world is the positive universe, and the nonmaterial world is the negative universe. All will be called nonmaterial and belong to the category of negative universe if they are ultraphysical, intangible, invisible, untouchable, inaudible, and cannot be smelled, measured and perceived but have effect on material world. 230. The dreamland is the embodiment of negative universe (nonmaterial world). 231.People have to undergo a 180-degree shift in their understanding from material to nonmaterial and from universe to negative universe. Just like moebius strip that reverse one end to 180 degrees. Without this 180-degree reversal, we cannot understand nonmaterial and negative universe. 232. The position of material and nonmaterial and the sphere of their activities are called space. The space can be positive and negative. The space in which nonmaterial exist is called negative space, and the space in which material exist is called positive space. The positive space is decided by the existence and distribution of material, and the negative space is decided by the existence and distribution of nonmaterial. 233. The space can change the object’s shape and its law of operation. The space includes the natural space and the space of thought. In different spaces, life and objects have different rules of operation and states of existence. The change in space can cause the changes of life in the aspects of physiological mechanism, mode of thinking, and state of survival. One must change the space of activity if he wants to change himself.

234. The nature will offer us corresponding feedback to whatever information we input into it. There is no coincidence in the universe. The occurrences of all phenomena have their corresponding necessary factors. There is no natural phenomenon that does not have a cause. The necessary factors will inevitably lead to certain results. This is the program and the objective law that will not be subjected to the will of man. 235. The core of the knowledge of the Greatest Creator and good behavior is: everything is a result of the interaction between Yin and yang, and Yin and Yang are the key links for the change of all things, and the world is divided into material world and nonmaterial world. In the universe there are 20 parallel worlds, 36-dimensional space, and 36 Eight-diagram Arrays. Time is the recorder of material movement. Time is not only longitudinal but also latitudinal. There are eight ladders of thinking: Matter thinking, Image thinking, Associative thinking, Illusive thinking , Visualized thinking , Taiji thinking , Non-form thinking, and holographic thinking. Tao is the consciousness of the Greatest Creator and the universe is holographic. The universe is made up of three elements: consciousness, structure, and energy. Man falls into five categories: ignorant person, laity, mortal, sage, and celestial. Those who are driven by instincts are ignorant persons, those by desires are laities, those by sentiment are mortals, those by rationality are sages, and those by spiritual sense are celestials. Consciousness creates reality. The kind of consciousness will determine the kind of LIFE form and living environment. LIFE has eight mysteries, and LIFE also has universal gravitation. Life is a short journey of LIFE in the human world, the purpose of life is to live happily, joyfullyďźŒfreely, and blessedly, and the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
ultimate goal of life is to reach Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World. 236. The space can be compressed, expanded, and dissolved. 237.The passageways connecting the 36-dimensional space are called space tunnels. 238. Space is vitally important to man. A good space can bring man’s capability into full play, can make man relaxed and happy; while a bad space will oppress human nature and check the exertion of man’s talents, reducing him to a mentally and physically fatigued prisoner. Therefore, we should strive to create or enter the good space and avoid creating or entering the bad space. 239. Time is the recorder of the state of material movement. Time is born out of movement. Without movement, there would be no time. Time exists within the interior of every moving objects and pervades the universe space of all objects. 240. Time has eight great characteristics: (1). Time is nonmaterial; (2). Time can be negative and positive; (3). Time has particularity and universality; (4). Time is a variable; (5). Time pervades all the material space; (6). Time is both longitudinal and latitudinal; (7). Time has different connotations in different spaces; (8). Time can be compressed, expanded and dissolved.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
241. The time tunnel refers to the dense time networks, which are composed of positive and negative time and are widely distributed in the universe. 242. Time can change everything, and everything exists within a particular time frame. To make an object exist eternally, we should make its time of existence eternal. 243. In the latitudinal time and space one cannot feel the loss of time. But insofar as the earth time is concerned, the several seconds of the latitudinal time and space can be several decades or even thousands of years or tens of thousands of years. 244. The flesh of man is in the positive space, while the spiritual entity of man is in the negative space. 245. The commonness of the universe is Tao, and the core of Tao is the Greatest Creator. Revering the Greatest Creator and following his Tao means the perfect and harmonious unification of one’s individuality with the universe’s commonness. Only those who have perfectly and harmoniously unified their own individuality and the commonness of the universe are people with a sober mind, and only they can have a bright prospect. If you have abandoned this general principle and direction, you cannot secure a bright prospect no matter how hard you engage in self-cultivation. 246. To break through the bondage of time and space, you must have a touch of whimsicality, abnormal thinking, and retroaction.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
247. The negative universe will feed corresponding energy and results to whatever information we input into the universe. The significance of prayer, confession and blessing also lies here. 248. There is no time in the nonmaterial world. Nonmaterial is the reaction to material. Nonmaterial does not possess the characteristics of material. All materials are involved in the process of birth, growth, decay, and death. Nonmaterial does not have birth and death, so there is no time in nonmaterial and is thus permanent. From the perspective of the ever existing universe, everything is but transient, illusory, and valueless. To obtain the eternal existence, one must break away from the control of time, and to break away from the shackle of time, one must work hard on the spiritual entity of LIFE. When all conditions are ripe, success will follow. Once you have made the breakthrough, you can enter the latitudinal time and space at any time, and you will feel relaxed and happy, and you will be overwhelmed by the unparallel beauties. 249. To enter the negative universe, one must understand nonmaterial. If you know nothing about nonmaterial, you cannot proceed to the stage of advanced self-improving and self-refining; and without advanced self-improving and self-refining, it will be difficult to enter the higher level of life space in the negative universe. 250. It is impossible to get to know the nonmaterial world by means of science, intellect, facts, and logical reasoning. The only way for us to know about the nonmaterial world is make our consciousness enter the nonmaterial world. We should go personally to observe, just like entering the dreamland. We can only understand what nonmaterial world is by personally involving in it. There are two kinds of nonmaterial worlds. One is the nonmaterial world perceived from the time tunnel, and the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
other is the nonmaterial world perceived from the space tunnel. The nonmaterial world perceived from the time tunnel is longitudinal and the nonmaterial world perceived from the space tunnel is latitudinal. That is to say, if you want to see about your past or your future, you must enter the time tunnel; and if you want to know about other nonmaterial worlds existing at this moment, you must enter the space tunnel. 251. How can we reach the xyz world of Celestial Islands Continent from the human xy world? We can go there by adhering firmly to the eight hundred values of Chanyuan, and actively participating in the construction of the Lifechanyuan era for mankind. The core content is the complete understanding of eight models of thinking and eight secrets of life. To approach xyz from xy, we must make use of time tunnel and space tunnel. And we shall mainly rely on the space tunnel, because we are not returning to the past, we are moving toward the future. The movement from xy to xyz is parallel, but there is a process of movement. Although the process is short, still time is needed. Therefore, we must also enter the time tunnel, which is a very short time tunnel in the latitudinal time. We will mainly enter the space tunnel and access the Celestial Islands Continent through it. When do we enter the space tunnel? Perhaps by far you have not realized that from the moment you become the Chanyuan Celestial, you are already in the space tunnel leading to Celestial Islands Continent. Although your flesh is still in the xy world, your spiritual entity has already been roaming in the space tunnel following the guide. We are on our way already. 252. If we cannot see anything in the material world, it proves that our naked eyes have gone wrong, have got blind, closed, or have been covered; if we cannot see anything in the nonmaterial world, it proves
800 Values for New Era Human Being
that our spiritual eyes have gone wrong, have got blind, closed, or have been covered. 253. The sum of positive energy and negative energy in the universe is zero. The total score of win or loss is zero. Behind the glory of winners are often hidden the bitterness and misery of losers. Therefore, for the sake of other people’s happiness we should only take what is necessary for us instead of an insatiable greed for all the benefits. 254. Eight major dialectics of the universe: (1). Emptiness is form and form is emptiness; (2). Poverty leads to wealth, and ending leads to beginning; (3). Humility reflects greatness and minuteness exposes magnificence; (4). Life and death share the same root, when the Yin is too powerful, the Yang will be very weak; (5). Existence is interchangeable with nonexistence; (6). When the heart is devoid of desire, the nature will become conspicuous; and when the heart brims with desire, the nature will be obscured; (7). Movement and stillness complement each other, brightness and darkness depends on each other; (8). The obverse side is symmetrical with the reverse and the proportion is held in check.

800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 9:Life
Definition of "Life" and "LIFE": LIFE: IFE is a nonmaterial structure with spiritual sense. LIFE=1+1,IFE is composed of two parts, the intangible spiritual entity and the tangible body.
The intangible spiritual entity mainly refers to
thought, consciousness, spirit, and soul, etc. The tangible body mainly refers to the flesh body where the soul is attached. Life: life is just a journey of LIFE in this world. The traveller is issued a single-entry visa with the travelling date specified. 255. Life is a short journey of being in the human world. 256. Man should pursue three major treasures in life: the richness of soul, the spiritual wealth, and material wealth. Man should first seek after the richness of soul, then the spiritual wealth, and finally the material wealth. None of the three treasures is dispensable. A life without any one of them will be imperfect. 257. In life one should simultaneously scale two highest realms: one is the pursuit of the maximum happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing
800 Values for New Era Human Being
of life; and the other is the sublimation of the quality of LIFE and the perfection of the nonmaterial structure of LIFE, and the effort to continue LIFE into the higher space of life such as Thousand-year World, the Ten-thousand-year World, and the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World. 258. The number of people who have awakened to this enlightenment is very small, and the number of people choosing to go ashore is very small, and the great majority of people choose to drift with the tide. Awakening to enlightenment is drudgery, while enjoyment is a satisfying matter. This is a result of man’s inertia. With inborn inertia, people are hesitant to attempt the new ways. They want to conserve what they already possess. They are conservative, and they prefer a secure and stable life and are afraid of change and loss. They are afraid of entering the unfamiliar areas. They dread the prospect that what they obtain from their adventure may not be worth what they have invested. Actually the more afraid you are, the more miserable situation you will be plunged in. The best defense is attack, and the best life is active innovation. It is better to be innovative than conservative. Expanding into a new area would be better than obstinately clinging to the old area. Everyone has endless potential, capability, and charms. The conservative man will never know and can never bring his potential and capability into full play, and thus he will lose his charm. 259. In life if a person wants to live a free and easy life, he must know how to give up. Only if he can continuously give up, can he continuously surpass himself. Abnegation is a major magic weapon for the growth of soul and spirit, and more importantly abnegation is the best way to sublime oneself and obtain a beautiful future. Abnegation is included in
800 Values for New Era Human Being
the core teachings of Jesus Christ and Buddha Sakyamuni, in the freedom and happiness of life, and in the mystery to lead life to heaven. 260. Man falls into five categories: ignorant person, laity, mortal, sage, and celestial. Those who are driven by instincts are ignorant persons, those by desires are laities, those by sentiment are mortals, those by rationality are sages, and those by spiritual sense are celestials. Sages belong to the category of celestials. 261. Man lives to pursue happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing. All activities of man and mankind are centered on this goal. If we have ignored this goal of the existence of life, we would be putting the cart before the horse, whether it is the study for a doctorate’s degree, the marriage to found a family, the establishment of a company, the pursuit of an official career for more money, or the self-cultivation. Pursue happiness, freedom and pleasure, and fully enjoy the happiness, joyfulnessďźŒfreedom and blessing on the journey of life, and hence love life, love being, love nature, and feel gratitude—this is the moral of being a man and also the major value and significance of life. 262. The highest realm of life is: read extensively, have the world in mind, cure the severe illness, make vigorous effort to turn the situation, benefit the people, and build the globe into a paradise where the peoples of the whole world live harmoniously with each other. The highest realm of LIFE is: self-improve and self-refine, release souls of people from purgatory, achieve celestial being and Buddhahood, and realize Supreme Authentic Wisdom. The highest realm of Chanyuan celestial is: perfect the nonmaterial structure of LIFE, and go to live in the Thousand-year World, the Ten-thousand-year World, and the Elysium World, especially the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
263. The human world is a place where the LIFE of different realms alternates and transmigrates between each other. It is a transfer station between the paradise and the hell. Motley travelers are jumbled in the human world. Some are going to the Thousand-year World, some to the Ten-thousand-year World, some to the Elysium World, some to the animal world, some to the hell, and some back to the human world. With the confusing scenes and theories and the contention between Buddha and monsters, it is difficult to tell right from wrong. 264. The habit that is the easiest to form, and the easiest to ignore, but the most harmful to life and LIFE is the habit to accept favor and forget to feel the gratitude. The more intimate the person is to you, the more important the person is to you, and the more unselfishly devoted to you the person is, the more likely you are to feel resentment and blame, the more likely you are to forget respect and gratitude, the more likely you are to be fault-finding, and the more likely you are to demand perfection. Often accustomed to gaining, one is likely to forget gratitude; often accustomed to acquisition, one is likely to ignore appreciation—this is why the more intimate persons are more likely to incur hurt. Of all that one should feel thankful for, the people are most likely to ignore their gratitude for the Greatest Creator. We are used to the warm sunshine, the air that we breathe in, the beautiful flowers and mountains, and the wonder and pleasure of sexual love, but we have completely forgotten that all these are bestowed by the Greatest Creator. We have forgotten our greatest benefactor. Those who don’t know how to feel grateful and yet demanding perfection have formed the worst habits. 265. What is most easily obtainable is the most precious. We must be highly clear-headed that what comes by easily is very precious. We should not think that what we have gained easily is of little value. Rather,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
what is most easily available is most precious. We should regard them as the favor of the Greatest Creator, and we should take this principle as the valuable book of life. 266. Human society needs traffic lights. Human society is in need of sages or community of sages, who have in mind only the interest of the whole mankind and disregard their own interest, the interest of their families, of their nationalities, of their political parties, of their religions, and of their own countries. Only such sages or community of sages can relatively impartially institute the traffic light to be jointly observed by all mankind. 267. Sages do not celebrate birthdays. Saints do not celebrate festivals related to the state, political party, religion, family, and army. 268. Saint knows the origin of the universe and LIFE, understands Tao and rules of the operation of Tao. Saint is the incarnation of rationality. 269. Man can fall into 18 grades according to the percentage point of spiritual sense in human nature. The greater the percentage, the higher the grade. 270. The theory of evolution cannot testify the origin of mankind. Man is absolutely not a result of evolution. The bible only records the origin of man in the Middle East, not the origin of the whole mankind. 271. Man is the product of the consciousness of the Greatest Creator. The existence of man is closely related to all LIFE in the universe and there exists a mutual cause and effect relationship between them. Once man has destroyed the harmony, order, and symmetry of nature, mankind is to face the catastrophe. There must be three basic conditions for man to live on
800 Values for New Era Human Being
the earth: 1. Love the Greatest Creator, 2. Love nature, 3. Love mankind itself. Without the three conditions, man will not be entitled to live in the paradise created by the Greatest Creator. 272. The morality and ethics of Lifechanyuan are as follows: Life is a short journey of LIFE in the human world, life is a game, and the purpose of life is to please the Greatest Creator, the value of life is to pursue Tao and attain celestial being, and the significance of life is to obtain happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing. All arguments, forms and statutes develop around such morality and ethics. Life is no longer a source of worry about whether you own something or not. You need not feel anxious for money, power, fame, and gains. You need no longer live your life by bending to other people’s attitudes and comments. You need no longer feel dreaded of death. You need no longer be persistent in anything, you need no longer force yourself to waste your time on a certain purpose, and you no longer need to live for certain creed, truth, state, religion, political party, or family. You just make yourself adjustable to whatever the situation calls for and act according to your own nature. “You just enjoy life no matter where we are and what we are doing.”. “The wind rustles the sparse bamboo groves, and no sound is left in the grove after the wind dies down; the wild geese swim across the cold pool, and no reflections are retained in the pool after the wild geese have flown away”. Follow what is predestined and be unrestrained. 273. The eighteen causes of suffering in life: 1. Incorrect values of life, LIFE, and universe; 2. Selfishness; 3. Greed; 4. Laziness; 5. Jealousy; 6. Complaint and resentment; 7. Comparison; 8. Undue ambition for victory and struggle; 9. Arrogance and insolence; 10. Dependent; 11. Infatuated and poisoned love; 12. possession and occupation; 13. Contention for fame and gain; 14. attachment; 15. Ambition to transform and control
800 Values for New Era Human Being
other people; 16. Deviation from Tao of nature; 17. Transgression of laws and disciplines; 18. Consciousness of marriage, family, nationality, state, political party, religion, and organization. 274. The present day of mankind is caused by the past of mankind, and the present day of everyone is caused by his past. Only if we have realized this, can we have a tranquil mind, and form wisdom instantly. Only if we have understood this, will we stop complaining god, the earth, the society, and other people. Only in this way, can we find the direction and make for the thoroughfare. 275. Man should not only get out of the “Egypt” of flesh but “Egypt” of soul. 276. What is the ultimate goal of life? Put more simply, it is the sublimation of spiritual sense, the transcendence over the secular world, and the gradual progress toward the higher space of LIFE. In more complicate terms, the ultimate goal is to strive to make the nonmaterial structure of one’s LIFE evolve toward the LIFE structure of celestials in the Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Elysium World, and ultimately achieve the quality of celestials and go to live in the place abided by gods and celestials. 277. How can we return to the correct path? Light up the magical lamp in mind, and take an overview of one’s life; get detached from the fetters of life and death, and return to the original nature. Get rid of conventional thinking and move forward at super light speed; discard all possessions, have a firm belief in the journey of life; just forge ahead and think of nothing else. 278. The process of life is just like the composition of a fax.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
279. Life is a kaleidoscope. What kind of flower will put forth depends on the structure of flowers. What kind of life one can achieve is decided by man’s consciousness. Therefore the core issue is not such factors as objective environment but the intrinsic quality. When you approach the mountain you will get to know the twitter of birds; when you approach the water you will understand the free swimming of fish; when you worship Buddha, you will acquire the nature of Buddha; when you seek celestials, your dream of becoming a celestial will come true. As long as we have the wish to build a perfect life, we will unconsciously realize our dream under the subtle influence. 280. Life needs a runway. If one wishes to achieve something in his life, he must choose a runway that best suits his character. Without a runway, he cannot exert his talent; without a runway, he will be obscured in the multitude. The best runway is the runway for which one can fight all his life, the runway subject to constant changes is not a good runway. Once you have chosen your runway, you had better not give it up easily. Give up means failure. 281. To create happiness for mankind and individual, you must rely on the Greatest Creator as well as yourself. 282. The meaning of life is to fully exhibit one’s own nature and please the Greatest Creator. Man is created by the Greatest Creator. Since man is created by the Greatest Creator, the purpose of creation is to please the creator. Man who cannot please his creator will have a life of tragedy. 283. It is the lazy people’s philosophy to leave everything in the hand of destiny. They don’t have an enterprising spirit, don’t work hard and are lazy by nature. They are always dreaming of beautiful things but are
800 Values for New Era Human Being
reluctant to make any effort. They are not ready to take the initiative but expect pies to fall from the sky. Life has an order of priority. A best plan can be found for everything. If we leave everything in the hand of destiny, we will be muddleheaded as to the order of priority, our intelligence will be more and more retarded, and we will be more and more ignorant and confused. The essence of self-cultivation is to change the track of destiny through transforming the thinking and thus enter the higher space of life. 284. Man is extremely elastic; man has unlimited potential; man can be great and small, and noble and humble. 285. The tribulation of mankind comes from mankind itself. The tribulation of every individual comes from himself. The functioning of Tao abides by rigorous logic and order. The equity and impartiality of the Greatest Creator is incarnated in the functioning of Tao. If we can not understand this principle, the tribulation may never come to an end, and the vicious circle may continue endlessly. 286. The most important thing in life is not to try one’s best to possess as much material as possible but to change thinking. 287. During the life, we must try hard to have a clear view of the road ahead, figure out the principle and mystery of life as soon as possible, and find out the direction and scene of heaven. Then we shall quickly go through the procedures for “passport”, “visa”, “air ticket” and “luggage”. We shall settle the liabilities and affairs in the human world as quickly as possible and get ready to fly to heaven at any time. 288. Based on the outlook on world and the outlook on LIFE, the value system of life is the “box and needle” and “compass” that adjust the direction of life all the time. Different value systems will bring about
800 Values for New Era Human Being
different lives. The wide variety of lives is caused by the numerous and complicated value systems. The value systems of Jesus Christ and Buddha have consummated their characters of god and Buddha. The value system of Hitler has brought about his character of a demon. Some engage in politics, some enter the business, some become ministers and rabbis, still others have turned burglars—all these are caused by their different value systems. 289. To understand the meaning of life, we should first turn on the spiritual perception and the dharma-caksus and Buddha-caqksus. Otherwise, we would be in a dark room and can see nothing. 290. Time and energy are the diamonds of life, which should be inlaid on the crown. Time and energy should be spent on the place and cause that can best embody the value of life. 291. Life is a journey. No matter how many reincarnations we can undergo, even if a thousand or ten thousand samsara in the human world, we will have only one life in the human world if we have lost our memory. We won’t know about our previous life and future life, and we will not even know the relation of previous life and future life with us and their significance. Only people who can clearly understand their past and can see their future are living in a reasonable way. And only such people can turn tragedy into comedy, enter the realm of freedom from the realm of destiny and fully enjoy the dainties and regales and magnificent demeanors. 292. The best investment in life is to make investment in the causes that can bring happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing to life and at the same
time
lead
the
LIFE
to
the
Thousand-year
Word,
or
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Ten-thousand-year World, or the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World. Any other investment is either full of bewilderment, compunction, loneliness, humdrum, bitterness, affliction or end in failure and loss, we may fall short of a success for lack of a final effort, or even worse, our wrong investment may cause boundless sin that cannot be redeemed through many samsaras. 293. The values of life advocated by Lifechanyuan are: life should be happy, joyful, free and blessed, all things and factors that can make our life happy, pleasant and free are valuable, and all things and factors that hinder us from obtaining freedom, happiness and pleasure are valueless, and the perfection of the nonmaterial structure of life takes precedence over everything else in life. LIFE is boundless, while life is finite. The materials that have been obtained through hard work during the life are all empty in the final analysis, and only the formless things obtained by us are real things. What can people take with them at the time of death? They cannot take anything tangible—money, fame and gain, and status. They cannot take with them their parents, spouses, and children. They can take with them only one thing—the quality of LIFE, which according to the teachings of Jesus Christ is the wealth we have stored in heaven and which according to the teachings of Buddha is the accomplishment of a spiritual state of an immortal. 294. A life that can achieve health, abundance and freedom is a rich life. In another word, health, abundance and freedom are the three constituent elements of a perfect life. 295. The eight general outlines of human life: 1. firm belief in the Greatest Creator and kindness; 2. diligence and creation; 3. respect for the elderly and love for the young; 4. mastery of balance and betwixt; 5.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
independent; 6. maintenance of commonness and no pursuit of eminence; 7. a forgiving attitude to oneself; 8. cherishing dreams and climbing steadfastly toward the most beautiful place. 296. The basic morality of behavior: filial obedience to parents, not disgrace ancestor and the sovereign, revere the Greatest Creator, be practical and realistic, do not bully those who have no kin and cannot support themselves, do not bully the disadvantaged groups, do not destroy people’s homesteads and homes of animals, make living through work and creation, do not do harm to brothers, sisters, neighbors and friends, do not participate in any superstitious activities, do not expose others’ privacy, do not engage in fabrication and forgery, keep promise, carry through to the end what you have started doing, respect teachers and seniors, love hometown and motherland, do not uglify one’s nationality, revere life and nature, do not deprive others of their freedom, and have a feeling of gratitude. 297. The perfect human nature should meet eight conditions: (1). revere the Greatest Creator and god and Buddha, and respect other people; (2). have no ambition for victory and no desire to fight for superiority; (3). love nature; (4). be modest, trustworthy, and honest; (5). be sympathetic and compassionate; (6). be able to adjust yourself and remain calm no matter whether you are under favorable circumstances or in adversity; (7). conform to the laws of nature and do not seek eminence; (8). love life and love labor. 298. A life without direction is blindfold, and a life without values is perplexing. The affliction and misfortune of life lie mainly in the lack of the direction and values of life.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
299. What is a successful life? As long as you can feel happy, joyful, free and blessing all your life, you have a successful life. 300. Life is like a dream. All the four elements (earth, water, fire and air of which the world is made) are void. We should fully experience life and thus feel no regret for life. 301. All are games, and only life is real. The reality is a game. People obsessed with it are muddleheaded. People who are happy and pleasant in the game have a waking consciousness. To own the reality is like the dream of an infatuated person. Only with a game-playing attitude will you not miss the life. 302. There is not very important matter in life, there is no matter of extraordinary importance in life. Only LIFE is an important matter that should be maintained and cherished. Life is limited and yet LIFE is boundless. Everything of life centers on LIFE and LIFE is the core theme of human life. 303. The first strategic issue of life is to exert one’s strong points and do what one is willing to do. The second strategic issue of life is compliance with climate. Spring is the time for sowing and autumn is the right time for harvest. If you act against the heavenly time, you are certain to be punished by Tao of heaven. And this is called “whoever understands the times is a great man”. The third strategic issue of life is to always stay in your rightful position and never step beyond it. The greatest strategic issue of life is LIFE. All others are games and only LIFE is real. We should place the issue of life and being on the most important position. We do everything surrounding life and being. In this way, when the headrope of a fishing net is pulled up, all its meshes open. All the other
800 Values for New Era Human Being
things will be understood clearly. All the other things of life are simply games. You will never have your mind abide in form, sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharma. You are then Tathagata. And this is the real strategic life of great wisdom. 304. Man is intrinsically blessed with the nature of god, Buddha, celestial, man, beast, and things. The differences in times, environments, family surroundings, educations and individual efforts have caused some people to succeed in achieving a splendid and perfect life but have caused other people to ruin their life. 305. The great wish can induce great life, and great wish has incredible effect on life. All who have achieved great results are people with great wishes. Without great wishes, life is like duckweeds that drift with the tide. Without great wishes it is impossible to scale the peaks of life and being. 306. Pursue the highest moral quality: man is differentiated in qualities. The person who has highest moral quality possesses sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith and honesty, and optimism, activeness, humbleness, courtesy, cleanness, and tidiness. The highest quality is the sunlight that brings sunshine and hope to people, the messenger of love that bring people with happiness and good luck, the lucid stream that brings freshness and vitality to people, and the big mountain that brings security and reliability to people. 307. Do not miss the last flight of life. Once we have missed it, all the money, power and fame in our possession will be valueless. Crying and shouting will be of no avail. The flight of LIFE will not be delayed
800 Values for New Era Human Being
simply because we are presidents, chairmen, scientists, masters, professors, scholars, billionaires, or architects of soul. 308. Man has also spiritual perception apart from vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and touch. People without vision are blind, and people without spiritual perception are blind in spiritual perception. 309. Without spiritual perception, there would be no spiritual sense. Without spiritual sense, one cannot obtain perfect human nature, and the consequences are as follows: 1. Thinking is confined to the three-dimensional space; 2. The law and inevitability are denied; 3. there would be no belief in law of cause and effect; 4. There would be no belief in reincarnation of life; 5. The theory of evolution is introduced into human society with belief in the law of jungle and the survival of the fittest; 6. Attention is paid only to immediate interests without consideration of long-term consequences; 7. The world will be demoralized and human nature will be corrupted; 8. There would be no feeling of gratitude and desire to repay the favor received. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 10: LIFE
Definition of "Life" and "LIFE": LIFE: IFE is a nonmaterial structure with spiritual sense. LIFE=1+1,IFE is composed of two parts, the intangible spiritual entity and the tangible body.
The intangible spiritual entity mainly refers to
thought, consciousness, spirit, and soul, etc. The tangible body mainly refers to the flesh body where the soul is attached. Life: life is just a journey of LIFE in this world. The traveller is issued a single-entry visa with the travelling date specified.
310. LIFE is a nonmaterial structure with spiritualism. If the nonmaterial structure of LIFE does not change, the attributes of LIFE will not change. 311. Lower level LIFE serves higher level LIFE, and all lives serve the Greatest Creator. 312. The flesh is the carrier of the spiritual entity. The carrier can be constantly changed, in the same way we change the transportation vehicle from a carriage to a boat and in the same way the carrier of fox is changed into that of a man.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
313. The death of flesh isn’t the end of LIFE.. 314. Life and death are superficial phenomena; LIFE has no life and death. 315. Life is the root of death and death is the root of life. 316. The quality of LIFE lies in the structure of LIFE. The better the structure, the higher the quality, and the better the space of LIFE, and the greater the freedom will be. 317. The best end-result of LIFE is to live in the back garden of the Greatest Creator—Celestial Islands Continents. 318. The evolution and transmigration of LIFE is to maintain the dynamic balance of the ethics of the universe and the LIFE of the universe. 319. Transmigration and transformation occur instantly. There is no process in between, and there is no trial and judgment by Hades, and destination is reached directly. 320. In addition to consciousness structure, there is another thing that plays a decisive role in the transmigration of LIFE—the universal gravitation of LIFE. 321. The law of gravity for LIFE is: between LIFE that are brought together by karma, there is mutual gravity, whose magnitude is in direct ratio to the debt that each owes the other but in inverse ratio to the amount of favor one has done for the other. 322. If one’s wish has not been completed, he will be reincarnated into human world another time. 323. An outline of standard and revelation of the transmigration of LIFE: People with the greatest love will become Super Celestial Being; people with utmost benevolence will become Buddha; people with the greatest happiness will become Deity Celestial Being; people with the greatest health will become Land Celestial Being; people with the greatest kindness will become “Human”
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Celestial Being; people with the greatest faith will ascend to the nobility; people with the greatest filial piety will be reincarnated with the fate of dignity; people with an impartial mind will return to human world; people who build up their virtues will be reincarnated as the wealthy; people with a muddleheaded mind will be transmigrated to the animal world; people with indifference will go to the plant world; people with wicked intentions will sink into ghost world; people who lord over and bully others will be sent to the frozen layers; and the cruel people will fall into infernos. 324. Hell is a general term for inflamed layer, frozen layer, and inferno. The LIFE in hell will generally not enter human world directly. Insects and many plants belong to another circulation system of life and will generally not be reincarnated into humans. 325. The lower the level of LIFE, the more difficult its secular LIFE will be. The higher the level of LIFE, the fewer conflicts it will have with its surroundings; the lower the level of LIFE, the more conflicts it will have with its surroundings. 326. The core element of the consciousness of higher being is love. The higher the level of LIFE, the greater the content of love in its consciousness; and the lower the level of LIFE, the lower the content of love in its consciousness will be. 327. Gods and Super Celestial Beings are LIFE personally created by the Greatest Creator. Other LIFE are designed by the Greatest Creator and created by Super Celestial Beings under the leadership of god. 328. “Law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest� is the theory of evolution that only portrays some animal worlds and does not apply to human society. 329. Lifechanyuan objects to organ transplant. Organ transplant is not a good thing. The disadvantage of organ transplant outweighs its advantage. Man’s
800 Values for New Era Human Being
every word and action and movement, and every idea and thought is closely related to LIFE and will exert effect one his operation, let alone the transplant of organs. 330. Cloning is very dangerous and is very likely to cause all kinds of monsters and demons to appear. 331. As long as we treat every LIFE kindly, we will be well treated by other lives. Let’s love LIFE, revere LIFE, and let’s not maltreat and harm being, instead let’s live harmoniously with all LIFE forms. In this way we will enjoy beautiful being and prospects. The universe is holographic, an idea may spread across the whole universe in an instant. No matter what kind of LIFE we are faced with, they will surely understand us, can hear us, because Tao is conveying our wishes. The soul of the Greatest Creator is guiding the actions of all LIFE forms. We will not be at fault as long as we firmly believe in the Greatest Creator, kindness, and Tao at any moment, and blend ourselves in Tao. 332. LIFE does not require the addition of anything. The only requirement is the restoration of nature. The more purely the nature is restored, the greater the quality of Tao will be, and the longer LIFE will exist. Man will then be transformed from an ordinary mortal into a sage, and then from a sage into a human celestial being, from celestial into a land celestial being, from a land celestial being to a deity celestial being, and from a deity celestial being to an angel (super celestial being or Buddha). 333. LIFE is eternal. The so-called death is only the change of the carrier for the being. After the death of the flesh, the spiritual entity will enter another carrier for being. After a dog dies, it can be reincarnated into a man. Then the flesh of the dog has died but its spiritual entity is reborn in the carrier of a man. 334. The future of a LIFE is constituted by every detail of the current life. Without today there would be no future. We should make full use of all the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
conditions at present to do the things we are doing right now. We should look far into the future, and we should not worry about the future. We must live at the present moment instead of in the future. If we worry about future all our life, then our worries will never come to an end. And this is called, “if man’s troubled with worries for the future, then he surely is plagued with current troubles”. The more misgiving and worries we have, the further away we are from Tathagata, nature, Buddha, the Greatest Creator, and heaven. The less we gloss over things, and the less ornament we use, the more we follow nature, the more close we are to Tathagata, the fairyland, and heaven. 335. LIFE has eight secrets. Whoever has mastered the eight secrets and self-improves and self-refines according to the 800 values of Lifechanyuan can enter heaven freely. 336. The freedom and ease of LIFE lie in the mastery of the secrets. Without the understanding of the secrets of LIFE, the LIFE will not be free and at ease. 337. LIFE is like this. The more knowledge one has, the greater the range of activity will be. Whatever is not in the consciousness does not exist in LIFE. Therefore we should seize time to expand the space of LIFE. We should not linger too much in the transitory places, and in the human world, instead we should know as much as possible about the place we yearn for and become an enlightened man. 338. As far as the form-based LIFE is concerned, LIFE is 1+1=1. LIFE is composed of two parts. One is the formless spiritual entity, and the other is the tangible object. The formless spiritual entity mainly refers to consciousness, thinking, spirit, inspiration, and idea, which are generally called soul. The tangible object mainly refers to the body that the soul attaches to, for example the flesh of man. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”

The Kingdom of the Greatest Creator (God): Home without Family and Marriage
800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 11:Love and Sexual Love 339. Love is the precious gift bestowed to mankind by the Greatest Creator. During life we should full enjoy the life of love. 340. People with richer life of love have better heart, gentler character, and calmer temper. They are closer to the Greatest Creator, have greater love for life, LIFE, nature, and other people. People with poorer life of love have uglier heart, crueler character, and worse temper. They are further away from the Greatest Creator, have little love for life, LIFE, nature and other people. 341. The depth of man’s love for woman depends on the degree of freedom the woman has offered the man. The more freedom the woman gives the man, the deeper the man will love her; while the less freedom the woman gives the man, the deeper the man will hate her. Don’t try various means to control the man, but try your best to improve yourself. 342. Man is handsome for his masculinity, and woman is beautiful for her femininity. Man with too much femininity is ugly and woman with too much masculinity is ugly. 343. The lower the level of LIFE, the more the lack of love. What is hell? The place devoid of love is hell. The higher of the level of LIFE, the richer the love will be. What is heaven? The place full of love is the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
heaven. People without love cannot go to the heaven—Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand Year World, and Elysium World. They can only go to hell to live a life devoid of love. 344. Control the extent of love: love shall develop among people that karma has brought them together, love will follow with nature and opportunity. When you feel the love you will show it in your mind, when you feel the love go away your heart will be devoid of it. You will not be obsessed and infatuated, you don’t intend to claim it as your own, and you don’t occupy it with force. You will let love carry on if both of you can feel the love. If you are not in step with each other, you will not impose it on the other party. The extent of love shall so as to make both parties happy and pleasant. 345. The more energy love releases, the more energy love will have. Love is the inner gladness and unselfish devotion with no conditions attached. Love is sacrifice of oneself for other people. Love is to give sufficient freedom to the one you love. Love is without selfish desire, complaint and resentment. Love is a top-grade enjoyment of spirit and soul. Love is unselfish devotion without any preconditions. 346. As long as both parties are pleased with each other, you can do whatever you think is appropriate. Life is short, so have a dance of tango even on the brink of death. Only life of such a kind will be devoid of regret, only such a kind of life will be beautiful. 347. If you have 100 lovers, you cannot help becoming a celestial being. If you cannot become an celestial being, you will have no capability to own 100 lovers. If you are doubtful, just have a try. 348. One of the win-win techniques is to release one’s energy of love. The more energy of love is released, the more energy you will get. The
800 Values for New Era Human Being
more conservative and selfish you are, the more impossible it will be for you to preserve the energy of love. What’s even worse, you will lose a lot of your energy of love. Mutual care, respect, help, and love are the win-win techniques for energy. The effective measure to guard against the negative energy is shy away from it, keep a distance from it, and try your best not to come into contact with it. 349. Chanyuan love values have surpassed the traditional love values. Such love is the love of celestials that has sublimed from the traditional love. Those people whose quality of life has not sublimed to the realm of celestials will generally regard Chanyuan’s love values as vulgar relationship between man and woman, and even as the uncontrolled sexual relationship in the animal world. Only those with better structure of LIFE can gradually experience from Chanyuan’s love values the relaxed and happy state of mind resulting from the emancipated soul, unlimited freedom, and the complete lack of depression and bondage. These values will cause the couple in disharmony to regain love for each other and prompt the couple with conjugal love to love each other more deeply. 350. Love can relieve pain and beauty is an even more powerful painkiller. Love+beauty=magical painkiller. The power of love is boundless; the power of beauty is even more breathtaking. Love and beauty are the most wonderful secrets that prompt the soul to leave the flesh. 351. Sex is a resource. Sex is not only material resource but also the resource of spirit and soul. The resource of male sex and female sex in particular is the resource more valuable and more significant than food. Such resource has eight major happiness and benefits: (1). make people placid and gentle; (2). make people satisfied and contented; (3). make
800 Values for New Era Human Being
people love life; (4). make people filled with yearning and longing for the future; (5). guarantee the propagation of mankind; (6). make people pleased and happy; (7). make people feel gratitude; (8). make people enjoy the wonder of extreme pleasure. 352. Get out of the whirlpool of sentiment. We are not indifferent, we are not without sensibilities, we are not immersed in sentimentality. Take eating and drinking for example. We need food and water, but we do not view them as the purpose and significance of life. If during our life, we rush about simply for food and water, then there would be no value and significance of being a man. In the same way, if we live for the sole sake of sentiment all through our life, we cannot expect to tramp over hill and dale to reach the realm of freedom. 353. Love has its own frequency, only the loves that share the same frequency can result in the resonance and sympathetic vibration. Love shall be sought with love. A heart without love cannot find love. To obtain love, you must first understand love, then seek and maintain love with love. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”
800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 12: Family 354. Marriage is a fall into the pit, and under the protection of law marriage certificate is an indenture to sell oneself to marriage. 355. The traditional marriage and family has caused a lot of harm. Among the relationship between people, the relationship between husband and wife is the most difficult to maintain, the most unfortunate, the most upsetting, the most sentimental and the most restricting relation, which has been repeatedly proved by endless facts for thousands of years in different countries. Therefore, if you see through it and emancipate yourself from the shackle of traditional marriage and family as soon as possible, you will swim out of the abyss of misery and reach the other shore of freedom. 356. The programme of traditional family life is the birthplace of man’s and mankind’s affliction. Marriage and family is the boundless abyss of misery. Walking out of the institution of marriage and family means you have walked out of the abyss of misery. 357. Family is the prison of soul, the fetters on man’s body, the root cause of man’s parochialism, selfishness and greed, the hedge that restrains the freedom and emancipation of human nature, the greatest
800 Values for New Era Human Being
obstacle to realizing a beautiful life, and a stumbling block that prevents man from advancing toward the higher level of existence. 358. All the contradictions, conflicts or disasters occurring in the traditional family are not caused by the parents, the children, the husband, or the wife, or any of the sisters and brothers, but by the life programme of family itself, which carries the viruses in spiritualism. No matter how civilized a person might be, he is sure to be infected involuntarily by such viruses one he enters the programme of family. 359. In order to avoid the tragedy that “man is married to the wrong woman and woman is married to the wrong man�, the only remedy is to put an end to the traditional life pattern of small family and try a new style of life. The new style of life is the home without marriage and family advocated by Lifechanyuan. This new lifestyle cannot only solve a series of requirements faced in life but can also get rid of all worries and afflictions and can help man and woman to fully exert their respective nature and talents. That man and woman may fall in love does not necessarily lead to the establishment of a family. If the love is to last forever, it is not recommendable the lovers should always live together. Don’t get yourself immersed in the family, once you are involved in it, it would be most difficult to get out. Moving closer toward the home without marriage and family and marching toward the era of Lifechanyuan are the only way to put an end to the tragedy. 360. If you own a traditional family, love traditional family and cannot walk out of the traditional family, you can never have any relationship with heaven and can never reach heaven, no matter how you might engage in self-cultivation, no matter what way you are cultivating, and no matter how thorough your cultivation is.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
361. The abyss of misery is boundless, so repent and be saved. What is the abyss of misery? Marriage and family is the abyss of misery. Marriage and family is the root of all agonies and afflictions. Man’s vexation, depressions, anxiety, and misgivings all stem from marriage and family. “The abyss of misery is boundless, return to the right track and you will see the shore”. Where is the shore? The shore is the home without marriage and family created by Lifechanyuan, which, devoid of marriage and family, is a very ideal style of life and is the only hope for man to get rid of suffering and afflictions. 362. We should address a problem from its root cause. The root for the suffering and affliction of the masses is the existence of family. The existence of family is like the existence of garbage. If garbage is not cleaned away, flies could not be exterminated. Without the disappearance of family, the misery and affliction of the masses will never come to an end. To be occupied in relieving the apparently endless misery and afflictions of man rather than address the root causes of the sufferings is comparable not to a drastic measure taken to deal with a situation but to an ineffectual remedy just like one who tries to stop water from boiling by scooping it up and pouring it back, not to digging up the root of brambles but to shearing the bramble branches. Wherever family exists, there would arise endless misery and sufferings. If we don’t start with the root cause, the misery and suffering of the masses will remain in existence and will continue, even if Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Goddess of Mercy and Compassion are in the world or even if Marx, Mao Zedong, and other great people are still living in the world. If family exists in the heaven, the heaven will also be changed into the abyss of misery. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New Oasis for LIFE”

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 13:
Chanyuan Celestial
363. Chanyuan Celestial is the “mature crop” that has obtained the visa of life. As the pioneer of the era of Lifechanyuan, the final destination for Chanyuan Celestial is Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World. 364. Chanyuan Celestial is globalist, who does not perceive issues on the standpoint of any country and nation but from the point of global interest. 365. The advocacy that lover’s relationship be established between Chanyuan Celestials is not based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and Buddha. Instead, prescribed by Xuefeng according to the morals of celestials in heaven, this advocacy is a convenient way for Chanyuan Celestial to get rid of secular love in thinking. It is also the philanthropic mode of thinking that Chanyuan Celestial must have before entering heaven. Jesus has already stated that after resurrection no one would marry or be married but would be like angels in heaven. If Chanyuan celestials have established the lovers’ relation, which is not occupied or dominated by either party, they can firstly break away from the love relationship of the secular society and make life enter a higher realm—the realm of angels. 366. If you are upright in nature, you are upright even if seemingly you are evil; if you are evil in nature, you are evil even if seemingly you are
800 Values for New Era Human Being
upright. We Chanyuan Celestials are to serve the Greatest Creator and all the life on the earth, so we are upright at heart, and our causes are just, and therefore our methods are upright in essence even if they may seem evil. 367. Chanyuan celestials are requested to mind their mind and guard against the evil ways. “the slightest difference can cause the greatest mistake”. A momentary slip may mean the difference between heaven and earth. 368. “The wise seek the common ground, while the foolish haggle over difference.” All the wise people seek the place where the same frequency and resonance exist, however all the muddleheaded people are fault-finding and search specially for the place where the same frequency does not exist. The wise people search specially for people, places and values that share the same frequency and resonance. 369. Chanyuan celestials must have super consciousness. They must be firm in belief, strong in will, trenchant in direction, sober in mind, definite in goal, legible in expression, resolute in action, and indomitable in character. They shall no longer be hesitant, anxious, frightened, regretful, guilty, passive, and pessimistic. They shall have everything revolve around themselves instead of being led by everything. There is no room for negotiation. 370. Associate with people but do not intend to form cliques with them—this is the excellent quality of the civilized people. 371. Thousands of branches may spring from one single root, so hold onto the one universal truth. Chanyuan celestials worship only one master, that is, the Greatest Creator with eight characteristics: only, amorphous,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
neutral, mysterious, impartial, merciful, supremely powerful and wise. Chanyuan celestials respect but not worship other immortals, Buddha, celestials (bodhisattva, angel), god, and Saint. Chanyuan celestial obeys the general arrangement of one government—the global government. Chanyuan
celestials
follow
only
one
guide,
the
founder
of
Lifechanyuan—Xuefeng. The above are the tenets of soul that Chanyuan celestials must observe. Whoever deviates from these tenets are no longer Chanyuan celestials of Lifechanyuan. Deviation from the Greatest Creator is the deviation from the headstream and the root. Deviation from the Greatest Creator is comparable to the wood without root and the water without a source. 372. Lifechanyuan is composed of angels from heaven and people in the human world who have gone through self-improving and self-refining and have perceived the true meaning of life. These members are collectively referred to as Chanyuan Celestials. Lifechanyuan is paradise of humble folks. Humility is the character of citizens in heaven. Everywhere residents in heaven are humble folks. Only people with humility can enter heaven, and only people with humility can bring happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing to others. 373. The Greatest Creator is the only force that governs and controls the destiny of Chanyuan celestials. Life is the only possession of Chanyuan celestials; Truth is the only pursuit of Chanyuan celestials. Achieving the status of celestials is the only pursuit of Chanyuan Celestials. There is direction for progress and goal for struggle. One behaves not simply to exemplify his moral integrity, he only needs to act by following the natural laws.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
374. Chanyuan celestials are the most civilized, most cultured and well-bred, most intelligent and spirited, most vigorous and creative, and most clever and adamant. Ranked among the most outstanding of mankind, they are ordinary but they are also transcendent and refined. Therefore they have excellent psychological quality. They will not wince and get discouraged in the face of hardship and tribulation and plight that are hard to deal with. As long as they have one last breath and as long as there is one ten thousandth hope, they will never give up their endeavor and any ray of hope for survival. 375. Chanyuan Celestials are all people who are sound in spirit and soul. People who are not sound in soul and spirit cannot be counted as Chanyuan celestials. Mental disorders include hypochondria, autism, melancholia, anxiety neurosis, pessimism, paranoia, mania, and phobia. Diseases of soul include jealousy, querimony, complaint, selfishness, greed, anger, infatuation, regret, laziness, and depression. Chanyuan celestials with healthy personality and perfect human nature are free of the above mental disorders and diseases of soul. 376. The soul of Chanyuan celestial is in the same frequency with Lifechanyuan and resonates with it. The same frequency and resonance are the major magical weapons to survive the disaster. Between Chanyuan celestials there is only love, there is no jealousy, envy and hate. Deep within the soul of Chanyuan celestials there are not concepts of family, nationality, state, religion, and political party, instead there are only visions of Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Elysium World. Instead of pursuing the super natural power, Chanyuan celestials only seek the sublimation of life. With spiritual perception, Chanyuan celestials shall rank at least among the sages in the Classification of Mankind and shall be among the top five grades in
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Eighteen Grades of Life. Chanyuan celestials have entered the realm of non-form thinking and thus have the capability of unconventional thinking. The words and deeds of Chanyuan celestials are motivated not by mundane desires but by soul. 377. Chanyuan celestials in Lifechanyuan are group of people who stick firmly to the beliefs of Chanyuan and share the same frequency and resonate in soul. Chanyuan celestials have common goals of life and LIFE. The goal of life of Chanyuan celestials is the pursuit of a happy, joyful, free and blessed life. The goal of LIFE of Chanyuan celestials is the sublimation and perfection of the nonmaterial structure and the progress toward the highest realm of LIFE—super celestial being. 378. The life of Chanyuan celestial is thus: As long as they live even for one day, they will intrepidly scale the highest realm of life and LIFE; as long as they live for one day, they will most fully exhibit the best aspect of human nature; as long as they live for one day, they will never drag out an ignoble existence, they will not be obsequious, they will not drift with the tide, and they will not squander the time; as long as they live for one day, they will live a natural and unrestrained life, they will continue to move forward and strive forward, and make the day a resplendent day. 379. If the heart is free of desire for material acquisition, the world will be pure. Cherish high ideals and refrain from wealth and fame. Keep calm and you will win through. Banish all the thought of self. Feel relaxed and happy. Have a firm belief in the Greatest Creator, in kindness, in Lifechanyuan, and in oneself. We Chanyuan celestials will never fall apart.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
380. Chanyuan celestials are the creators, pioneers and workers of the new era, new concepts, new life, and new ways. The hope of mankind is placed on us. If we fall down, man will have no hope but desperation. We individuals cannot escape from the confines of heaven and earth and the bondage of the five elements, and we cannot walk out of the 36 eight-diagram arrays. Since death is inescapable, we might as well blaze new paths and seek the road of survival among death. Moreover, our path is becoming increasing clear and definite. We have a clear vision of the future. All we need to do is simply brave the storm and waves and trek and climb along the roadmap leading to heaven. 381. Grand love is non-love, and grand virtue is non-virtue. Lifechanyuan is not the secular society. Chanyuan celestials never owe each other debts. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New Oasis for LIFE”

Thousand-year
World,
Ten-thousand-year World, Elysium World, and Celestial Islands Continent. 383. Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, Elysium World, and Celestial Islands Continent are not fanciful imaginations. They are an inevitability caused by the law that the sum of positive energy and negative energy is zero. Just like the inevitable existence of Mercury, Saturn, Mars, and other planets in the solar system, or the inevitable existence of the seven apertures, hairs, limbs, and the five internal organs in the human body. 384. The Thousand-year World is a celestial body 960 light years away from the earth. About ten times the size of the earth, it is currently inhabited by approximately 200 million people. Because the basic life span of LIFE (celestial being) on this celestial body is about 1000 years (in relation to earth time), it is called Thousand-year World. It is purely a world of sincerity, kindness, and beauty, a world of love, a world of peace, a world of pleasure, and a world of sublimed human nature. Undoubtedly anyone with a perfect human nature can go there, since there is no limitation of number.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
385. The Ten-thousand-year World is a beautiful celestial body 3480 light years away from the earth. It is 16 times bigger than the earth and has 16 suns arranged at equal distances. About 100 million celestial beings live there. The basic characteristics of these celestial beings are pretty much the same as those of land celestial beings described by Taoism. In relation to the life span they can live for about 35000 years, and thus the celestial body is called Ten-thousand-year World. 386. The Elysium World is the general term for earth universe (the universe inhabited by man is a small universe and is called the earth universe). The earth universe is so called in relation to other universes. The structure of the earth universe is a Taiji ellipsoid, which is called the Law Rotary Galaxy. The Law Rotary Galaxy contains 3000 Rotary River Galaxies, each of which contains 3000 Milk Way Systems. Each Milk Way System has 3000 solar systems. In another word, the Elysium World is composed of three thousand macro worlds, or nine million medium worlds, or 27 billion small worlds. 387. Celestial Islands Continent is the backyard of the Greatest Creator. It has 80 billion islands, each the size of the earth. Each island has a name. There is only one celestial being living on each island. Apart from the 30 billion islands that have been used by celestial beings as their homestead, the remaining 50 billion islands are not currently inhabited by any celestial beings. They are to be inhabited by people from the human world, Thousand-year World, and Ten-thousand-year World, who have succeeded in transforming themselves into celestial beings through cultivation. 388. The Elysium World has ten continents, namely Lotus Continent, Borneo Continent, Kasyapa Continent, Yingwu Continent, Amita-Buddha
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Continent, Celestial Islands Continent, Three Worlds Two-way Continent, Moon Temple Continent, Gods Continent, and Supreme Authentic Wisdom Continent. Celestial Islands Continent is one of the continents of the Elysium World. 389. Celestial being is the highest realm that man can attain. The base camp of celestial beings is on the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World. The hostess Yu’e of Xuefeng Island on Celestial Islands Continent is an example of celestial being. The revered Goddess of Mercy and Compassion Guanshiyin is a celestial being. Angels in western culture are celestial beings. Celestial being is Buddha. The difference is that Buddha has certain bondage, while celestial being is unrestrained. Buddha has his responsibility and celestial being does not have any responsibility. The greatest characteristic of celestial being is that celestial being can play in whatever way he think is most interesting. After Buddhahood is attained, there is even higher realm awaiting, but after becoming the celestial being, there is no higher realm for one to pursue. Celestial beings mainly engage in self-entertainment and do not care for affairs in the heaven world and human world. Buddha does not pursue entertainment, is not obsessed with momentary relaxation, but focuses on the acquisition of supreme authentic wisdom. Celestial beings are the most free, pleasant and happiest LIFE of the whole universe. As the favorites of the Greatest Creator, they do not undertake any responsibility and obligations. Buddha is the most intelligent and self-disciplined LIFE in the universe. When necessary, Buddha will bear responsibility and obligation. 390. Heaven belongs to happy and joyful people. It does not belong to people weighed down by worries. The longer the time of happiness and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
pleasure, the better and more stable the nonmaterial structure of our LIFE will become and the closer our LIFE will be to the paradise. 391. To obtain the visa to Thousand-year World, or Ten-thousand-year World, or Elysium World, you must give up the ego and enter the holographic state. The abnegation of ego is not “Sustain justice and extinguish humanly desire” as advocated by Confucianism in China, nor is the abnegation of ego a rivalry against “the realization of individual value” as advocated by American culture, rather the abnegation of self means the abjuration of obstinate belief in oneself. If you are convinced that your own cognition is completely right and immaculate, then you may be correct every step of your way but finally go astray into the illusive thinking and can never walk out of the desert of life and the “Cave of Silken Web” of transmigration. 392. The land of heaven, be it thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, or Elysium World, is the world of liveliness and recreation. And this is particularly true of Celestial Islands Continent. If you are not good at or have no intention of having fun, why do you self-improve and self-refine so that you can enter the land of heaven? Do you want to be a policeman in the land of heaven? Let me tell you. In the land of heaven, there are no such positions as policemen, lawyers, judges, director general, section chiefs, and supervisors. 393. People who cannot dream of the colorful dreamland will be difficult to enter the land of heaven. So long as we often see in dreams the green mountains and clear rivers, the gentle breeze and bright sunshine, and the delightful auspiciousness pervading everywhere, then you have seen the premonitor for entering Thousand-year-world. If in your dream you always see wonderful and fantastic sceneries, you always soar in the sky,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
you always feel extremely marvelous in your mental, spiritual and physical blending with opposite sexes, and you do not have the slightest fear and trepidation, then you have seen the omens to show that you can go to the Ten-thousand-year World. If in your dream you can make yourself invisible, soar freely, transform yourself at will, and make sceneries change according to the change of your own consciousness, then these omens indicate that you can enter the Elysium World. 394. To head for the heaven, you must climb two huge mountains, one is the programme of necessity, the other is the “Egypt of Soul”. The programme of necessity: family, nationality, state, religion, political party, the existing order and life style of human society. To enter the heaven, you must walk out of the programme of necessity. You cannot reach the land of heaven if you do not walk out of this progrmmme. The Egypt of Soul includes: jealousy, comparison, complaint, arrogance, wrath, possession, forced occupation, enmity, tenets and doctrines, commandment and dharma, contention, avarice, laziness, and intentional action. If you do not clear away these trashes in soul, you cannot reach the land of heaven. So please walk out of the programme of necessity, flee from “Egypt of Soul”, break away from the chains, and run toward freedom. 395. The paradise belongs to the benevolent, while the hell belongs to the wicked. The human world is inhabited by both the wicked and the benevolent. If we cannot distinguish between the kind and the wicked and between the right and the wrong, with what virtues can we go to the heaven? Those who cannot distinguish between the kind, the wicked, the right and the wrong are not masters or men of superior attainments but ignorant and muddleheaded characters. Those who abet others not to
800 Values for New Era Human Being
distinguish between the right and wrong and the kind and wicked are not people engaged in cultivation but the demons and Satan. Who have caused the affliction and tribulations of mankind? They are caused by those people who do not distinguish between the kind and the wicked and the right and the wrong (with the exception of those who have achieved the status of Tao). 396. How can we accumulate the wealth in the land of heaven? 1. Revere the Greatest Creator, life, and nature and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator; 2. Unselfishly contribute your love; 3. Dissolve enmity, and bring serenity, peace and warmth to others; 4. Have a kind heart and do good deeds; 5. Sing praise of the Greatest Creator, Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, celestial being Lao Tzu, the prophet Mohammed, and the sages and saints in human history, and sing praise of life and others, and sing praise of and protect nature; 6. Promote people’s confidence in life, prompt people to long for the beautiful future, eliminate people’s anxiety, worry, trepidation, and fear; 7. Maintain the marvelous love that does not bring any psychological, spiritual and physical harm and anguish to other people; 8. Fully exhibit one’s aesthetic skills. 397. The land of heaven does not accept childish immature people. The land of heaven does not accept adults who don’t behave like children, nor does it accept immature childlike adults. Man’s traditional style of life has hindered man from growing up. Many people are still immature and cannot become “ripe crops”, although they are already sixty or seventy years old—this is something that provokes our thought. “Ripe crops” are certainly children who have grown up and matured. If you have never grown up, you can absolutely not enter the land of heaven.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
398. To enter the Thousand-year World, we must make meet the following eight requirements: 1. Revere and firmly believe the Greatest Creator, and be always grateful to the Greatest Creator; 2. Revere life and nature; 3. Possess no jealousy, resentment, greed, persistence, selfishness, and complaint against others; 4. Do not hinder other people’s happiness and freedom at any pretenses and under any excuses; 5. Have a kind heart, be kind to others in behavior, action, and word; 6. Be honest, practical and realistic, and truthful, do not engage in cheating and lying; 7. Be hardworking, and keep the living and surrounding environment clean, tidy, beautiful and harmonious; 8. Keep promise and agreement. 399. To enter Celestial Islands Continent, you must achieve the status of celestial being. To achieve the status of celestial being, you must possess the LIFE structure of celestial beings. Self-harmony is one of the eight characters necessary for the LIFE structure of celestial beings. Self-harmony refers to a self-formed complete system, which is in defect of nothing and can run in good coordination and congruity and can satisfy what it needs without relying anything outside it. Self-harmony is Tathagata, with no form of ego, other people, all beings, age, dharma, and non-dharma. Self-harmony is trance, abstrusity, the subtle, male and female, yin and yang, Taiji. 400. How can we cultivate the character of self-harmony? (1). Create millions of images and dharma with mind, namely “create reality with consciousness�; (2). Life is death, death is life, glory is disgrace, and disgrace is glory, so show no concern for life, death, glory and disgrace, and possess strength but retain gentleness, know and observe all but stay obscure; (3). Emptiness is form and form is emptiness, consciousness returns to the state of zero, and the soul returns to spiritual pure land;
800 Values for New Era Human Being
(4). All are games, and only LIFE is true, so do not persist in anything; (5). You own everything when you own nothing, transcend over time and space, and keep a powerful and unconstrained style; (6). Follow your own nature, be unrestrained, follow the predestined relationship and be carefree, follow your destiny; (7). Maintain a holographic order, with no interior and exterior, no border and boundary, no right and wrong, no truth and falsity, and no kindness and wickedness; (8). Make the “real” illusive and dreamlike, and make the “illusive” reasonable. 401. There is no oppression and exploitation in heaven. All those who want to enter heaven through self-improving and self-refining must make sure that you do not engage in contention with others, you do not oppress and exploit others, you do not bring unhappiness and unpleasantness to others in any way and under any pretense, you do not restrict others’ freedom in any name, you do not impose your own ideas and views on others, and you do not cause any spiritual, mental and physical harm to others. 402. If you have a clear conscience, and have repaid the favors of nature and parents for upbringing, and do not owe any debt to any person, any animal and nature, then you can march toward heaven in your next life. If you have eliminated from your consciousness the concepts of family, nationality, state, political party, and religion, if you like freedom and unrestraint, like happiness and joyfulness, have repaid all debts in the human world and have built your merits and virtues, then you can enter Thousand-year World of heaven in your next life. If in your dream you always soar freely, and can maintain the state of pleasure without sexual contact, then in your next life you can enter Ten-thousand-year World of the paradise. If you have possessed the consciousness of Buddha, you
800 Values for New Era Human Being
will enter the corresponding Elysium Word in your next life. If you revere the Greatest Creator, LIFE and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, if you possess supernatural power and can create a world you yearn for, then undoubtedly you will enter Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World.

800 Values for New Era Human Being
800 Values for New Era Human beingďźˆSecond Edition Deiform Buddha Chapter 15ďźšSelf-improving and self-refining 403. By building Lifechanyuan and inaugurating the era of Lifechanyuan, we are completely cultivating ourselves and are accumulating our wealth in heaven, or in another word, building Lifechanyuan and inaugurating the era of Lifechanyuan are the best ways to repay our debt and cultivate ourselves. Because only if we devote ourselves to the cause of creating the era of Lifechanyuan, can we fully exhibit our use. This is not advertisement for Lifechanyuan, instead it is the secret to enter the heaven. 404. We should take things as they are, associate with others by following the predestined relations, act in accordance with our nature, and take advantage of the opportunities as they arise. This is a principle guiding our actions and behaviors. We should also apply this principle to people we love. Any scheme and any machination for permanent possession are the behaviors of demons and will pose as denigration and blaspheme of love. 405. Thinking is a supernatural power. The universe is holographic. Of the eight powers in the universe, one is called the power of consciousness. The power will follow consciousness to exert influence on matters and exercise remote control.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
406. Thinking has eight ladders, which are matter thinking, image thinking, associative thinking, illusive thinking, visualized thinking, Taiji thinking, non-form thinking and holographic thinking. Matter thinking is the lowest realm of thinking, while holographic thinking is the highest realm of thinking. 407. The process of building Lifechanyuan is the best process of cultivation and refining, the process which tests whether everyone has great ideals and whether everyone puts great ideals to practice, and more importantly the process of accumulating one’s wealth in heaven and entering heaven. 408. Everything in the world is good thing as long as it is kept in appropriate amount, but will become poisonous drugs once the amount is exceeded. This is also true of love. 409. Argumentation is the greatest taboo for people who cultivate themselves in order to enter heaven. 410. To strive for “zero state” is to march toward Buddha, toward celestial beings, and toward Tathagata. Anyone will go astray from Tao and the zero state if he is attached to certain thing, certain matter, certain doctrine, certain religion, certain political party, certain state, certain family and certain person. “Zero state” is not empty, instead it is the root of LIFE. In zero state are contained the miraculous transformations in heaven and earth, the mighty potential, the endless changes, thousands of phenomena and forms. Do not possess any prejudices and keep oneself in the zero state, only in this way can you see through the phenomena and the truth of events, and master and understand their essences.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
411. Keep a state of neither emptiness nor form, nor illusion and nor reality.. These two (emptiness and form) are (in their nature) the same; but they are given different names. They may both be called the Cosmic Mystery: Reaching from the Mystery into the Deeper Mystery Is the Gate to the Secret of All Life. This conforms both to the principle of Taiji and to the theorem of self-improving and self-refining. Only if you can alternate between the presence and the absence, can you keep yourself from being puzzled by phenomena and use. 412. To return to the zero state of inaction is to transform and sublime, and to best exert more functions. However it would be useless if zero state is made permanent. For example, a flower will have no value and significance if it never grows and blossoms. Therefore, action is recommended. The flower shall unfurl its green leaves, burst into bloom, and bear fruits. A secluded hermit with high attainment in cultivation will be no different from or even worse than a rock if he never exerts his functions. You should enjoy what is duly for enjoyment. If you do not enjoy it, do not claim your right for enjoyment, and do nothing, simply praying every day that the world may be peaceful and that the Greatest Creator may take care of yourself, then the Greatest Creator will certainly not like you. The Greatest Creator will not like those who lord them over others or who are too cowardly. 413. Non-action means you take things as they are and follow Tao, you conform to laws and make use of an opportunity to do a certain thing, you do not engage in resistance, and you do not do anything that may destroy nature, life, society and other people. However, you should do whatever things that should be done and enjoy your right that should be enjoyed. If you do not do what should be done and do not enjoy what should be enjoyed and just keep anaesthetizing yourself with “non-action� and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
“zero state”, always looking for excuse for inaction, then you have slipped to the other extreme. You are mistaken and have become a useless good-for-nothing. 414. A person engaged in self-improving and self-refining should learn to understanda sealed book, the wordless book, the heaven, the earth, the person, the thing, the event, and the phenomena. Only in this way, can he understand apocalypse, and the language of the Greatest Creator. And only those who understand apocalypse and the language of the Greatest Creator can become a great master, who can carry and reveal Tao. 415. If you tell your best wishes to the Greatest Creator in a clear manner, miracles will happen. It will be easiest, simplest and most harmonious to get along with people who can express themselves most legibly, because we know what he or she needs, we can very easily work with him or her, and we can easily satisfy him or her. On the other hand, it will be most difficult and most unpleasant to get along and deal with people who keep an equivocal attitude, who adopt a montage method in approaching things, who stumble over words, who never state clearly on matters, and who are muddleheaded over things. 416. It is recommendable to visualize beautiful things. The more beautiful the visualization, the better; and the more concrete the imagination, the better. The Greatest Creator can help us to achieve whatever we have visualized. The Greatest Creator is magnanimous and generous. The Greatest Creator is not parsimonious. The key lies in our imagination. 417. What is included in cultivation is “nature, love and Tao”. Understand nature and act at the call of your nature, and this is Buddha. Understand love, and love others as deeply as you love yourself, and this
800 Values for New Era Human Being
is god; understand Tao and act in accordance with Tao, and this is celestial being. 418. Entering heaven or going to hell has nothing to do with color, sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharma. LIFE is a spirited nonmaterial structure. The core issue lies in the nonmaterial structure of LIFE. If the structure is perfect, then the LIFE can go to heaven, but if the structure is ugly, the LIFE must go to hell. To change the nonmaterial structure, one must start from the sublimation of soul and the perfection of consciousness. Therefore the core of cultivation is none other than the sublimation of soul and the perfection of consciousness. 419. Acting at the call of your nature means doing things according to the requirements of your soul, which is somewhat similar to follow your feelings. The universe is holographic. All character and nature is within the operation of Tao, and within the control of Tao. Acting at the call of your character is actually acting by following Tao. Everything takes its due position, and everything takes charge of its due responsibility. Acting according to nature means that you shall not force yourself to do something. If you act as accords your nature, you will have a limpid character and nature, you will have nothing to feel regret for, and you will finally achieve complete truth. Do whatever your soul calls on you to do and listen to the voice of your inner world, and you will certainly hear an especially distinct voice from the complicated din. Then just conduct according to its requirements, and see what the result will be like. In this way you can feel reassured in what you are doing. 420. Acting on the call of your nature is a far cry from following your inclination. Following one’s nature is to follow his own endowment and Inherence nature, while following one’s mind is to follow one’s desire in
800 Values for New Era Human Being
mind. Those who are on the right Way will not cause harm to other people when they follow their own inclinations, while those who are not on the correct Way will incur endless trouble when they follow their inclinations. 421. In approaching anything, we should take things as they are, associate with others by following the predestined relations, act in accordance with our nature, and take advantage of the opportunities as they arise—this is the way of nature. We should take things as they are, and shall not impose high standards for the environment; We should associate with others by following the predestined relations, and shall not escape from the good and bad predestined relations; we should act in accordance with our nature, and shall not restrain and restrict anyone’s natural character; We should take advantage of opportunity as they arise and shall neither reach for what is beyond our grasp nor miss the good opportunity. 422. People whose individualities are in less conflict with commonness are more pleasant and happier, have calmer mood, and are easier to succeed in cultivating the Way of celestial being and the Way of Buddha. People whose individualities are in greater conflict with commonness may end in monsters, demons, and goblins, and devils and ghosts. 423. When in adversity, do not halt your steps of progress and harbor resentment, anger, and complaints. 424. When conducting self-improving and self refining, you should combine values with practice. Values divorced from practice are only clichÊs, idle theorizing, and self-deception. No matter how long we have engaged in self-improving or self-refining, and no matter how many profound principles we have understood, if values are not practically
800 Values for New Era Human Being
applied in our daily lives, they are all useless empty talks for flaunting and swindling purposes. 425. No matter what we do, we should do a good job once we have started it. We should complete the job without leaving any thing unfinished. We should not perform our duty in a perfunctory manner, we should not harbor the mentality of “almost finished� and we should not adopt a fudging attitude. We should try to fully exert our talents in everything we do. 426. The more ordered we are, the more efficient and healthy we will be. The more ordered we are, the more leisure time and entertainment time we will have. Therefore we must ensure order in consciousness, plan, work, division of labor, daily life, diet, entertainment, and advancement and retreat. In this way, we can cut down many useless actions on our path of life and LIFE. 427. There is always a way out. The two poles are transferrable. Things will develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. Put yourself in desperate situation and you will fight with all your might for victory. Putting yourself in desperate situation may involve heart-rending anguishes, but the nirvana of phoenix will have to undergo the baptism of fire, otherwise there would be no chances for thorough remoulding, and you may still be a mortal. Without death, there would be no birth, and death and birth share the same root. If the mortal mind does not die, how can the immortal mind come into being? If the predestined worldly relations do not perish, how can the relations with immortals be formed? If the human LIFE does not come to an end, how can the immortal life begin? If the traditional family does not disappear, how can the second home come into being?
800 Values for New Era Human Being
428. The more self-cultivation you conduct, the more flexible, sensitive and efficient you should be. You should be quick in response to anything. You cultivation should not render you more and more rigid, numb, and retard. 429. Enlightenment is a great learning of life and LIFE. Enlightenment relies on spiritual perception. Enlightenment requires that we be practical and realistic, that we stick to scientific approach and remain logical. Enlightenment requires us to ponder deeply. Enlightenment requires us to understand 20 parallel worlds and 36-dimensional space. Enlightenment requires us to understand the implications of time and space. Enlightenment requires us to understand the origin of the universe, LIFE and mankind. Enlightenment involves the understanding of man’s position in the universe and the purpose, value, and significance of life. Enlightenment involves the understanding of the meaning of LIFE and the scientific theory of reincarnation. 430. The life span of a person might be curtailed if he is too concentrated on his worldly thought, forgetting about food and sleep and seeking quick success and instant benefit, if he is too fervid in sentiment and moody in temper. On the contrary, he can prolong his life and transcend over time if he can calm his mind, stop his desire, manage his mind, have a mind of integrity, keep an open mind, have a sedated mind, maintain a pure mind, do what you want to do so as you have a peaceful mind, take an indifferent attitude to fame and gain, and live an extraordinary life with a calm mind. 431. The purpose of self-improving and self-refining is to get away from the abyss of misery and reach the other shore, namely, to break away from the fetters of the realm of necessity and reach the realm of freedom.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
To be more specific, the purpose is to walk out of the human world and proceed toward the paradise. 432. Self-improving involves your effort on every action and word. Self-refining requires your energy on every idea and thought. As long as you persevere and accumulate your effort, you will come to success naturally when all the required efforts are made. To attain the spiritual state of an immortal, you cannot rely on any shortcut and any secret skills, all you have to do is spend all your effort and energy on each of your words, actions, ideas and thoughts. 433. Say what is related to you, do your own work, cultivate yourself, follow your own path. Do not attempt to manage and guide others, do not concern yourself with others’ affairs, and do not mind others’ businesses. 434. The compendium for self-improving and self-refining is that I would rather others owe me the debt than I owe them the debt, and that I do not contrive to obtain any small advantages, and that I shall expend more and harvest less. In this way, we can not only repay the debt but also accumulate wealth in heaven. 435. The places closer to you actually involve a longer journey; the simplest tone requires the toughest training. 436. The preliminary self-improving and self-refining is comparable to the spinning of cocoons, the intermediate to the conception of new life in the cocoon, and the advanced to the braking of the cocoon and the ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal. 437. The eight cultivations and refining of mind: calm your mind, stop your desire, manage your mind, have a mind of integrity, keep an open
800 Values for New Era Human Being
mind, have a sedated mind, maintain a pure mind, and do what you want to do so as you have a peaceful mind. 438. The best way of self-refining: Increase your understanding, transform your thinking, perfect your consciousness, and sublime the nonmaterial structure of life. The best way of self-improving: Participate in the activities to initiate the age of Lifechanyuan for mankind. 439. Of all the ways of self-improving and self-refining, the self-improving and self-refining of love is the core content of the sublimation of the life quality, and the most direct way. 440. The advanced self-improving and self-refining and health preservation shall mainly begin with music, visualization and thought. 441. The symbol of perfect nonmaterial structure of life: (1). The complete exhibition of natural character and the complete lack of shameful feeling in action and words; (2). All grasses and trees are friends, and do not cause harm to insects and birds; (3). Innocence, simplicity, and childlike purity, and good at games and entertainment; (4). Have no worries wherever in the world, and all people come into contact with and love are friends and relatives; (5). Own nothing and occupy nothing, and have no jealousy and do not compare with others; (6). Be healthy, positive and optimistic, without the slightest passive and pessimistic feelings;
800 Values for New Era Human Being
(7). Be an ordinary person and do not parade ability, and do not have any resentment or sense of superiority; (8). Do whatever desire to do but do not go against rules and be carefree but do not have any temper. Whoever has reached the above eight standards in his self-improving and self-refining has achieved the first level of the spiritual state of an immortal and has been ranked among the celestial beings. On this basis he can proceed to achieve the second level of the spiritual state of an immortal which guarantees him to live in the Ten-thousand-year World and the third level of the spiritual state of an immortal which guarantees him to live in the Celestial Islands Continent.

800 Values for New Era Human being(Second Edition) Deiform Buddha Chapter 16:Soul garden 442. The symbol of a pure and perfect soul: grateful, praising, reverent, faithful, honest, kind, diligent, unsophisticated, intelligent and vivid, clean and tidy, innocent modest and gentle, open-minded, tolerant, magnanimous, unselfish, positive and optimistic, enthusiastic and unrestraint, humorous, and affable. 443. The dirt and dust that should be cleansed from the soul: jealousy, anger, bitterness, suspicion, curse, comparison, reprehension, attack, contention,
complaint,
passiveness,
decadence,
selfishness,
avid
possession, arrogance, unscrupulousness, indolence, sluttery, indifference, and unruliness. The heaven will accept only those with a pure and perfect soul. If your soul is contaminated with any of the above 20 defects, you will be denied the entrance to heaven—the realm of the Greatest Creator. 444. The most severe crisis of mankind is the crisis of soul. As long as we have solved man’s crisis of soul, we can solve all the crises faced by mankind. The building of Soul garden is a matter of urgency for mankind. Any other measures and ways are only trivial and cannot solve the crises faced by mankind. Everyone should build their own garden of soul, which is a miraculous panacea for mankind to avoid tribulations and catastrophe.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
445. Man is not born with sin. Sin is caused by the imperfect operating mechanism of human society. The root of tribulation and afflictions of human society for thousands of years does not lie in the sin but in the imperfect operating mechanism of human society. A perfect operating mechanism will make people free of sin, while an imperfect mechanism of operation will breed sins of man. 446. The physiological diseases are mostly caused by the defects in spirit and soul. The spirit embodies the energy feature of life, while soul represents the structure feature of life. 447. Praise is the symbol of the richness of one’s soul. Praise of the Greatest Creator, nature and other people is the symbol of a beautiful soul. 448. Gratitude is the first element to sublime life. Repentance is the most effective way to purify soul. 449. Gratitude is the headspring of happiness and the foundation for the harmonious coexistence with the Greatest Creator, nature, and the broad masses of mankind. With a feeling of gratitude and humility, you can be molded into a capable being and can obtain “the supreme-enlightenment mind”, and can accomplish your greatest wish. Without a feeling of gratitude and humility, you will become a useless dead wood not suitable for sculpture”. 450. If through self-improving and self-refining, one can achieve a body and soul of integrity, he can have real spirit and great talent and great virtue concentrated in himself. Without spirit, it may mean that we have not achieved a body and soul of integrity. If we do not have great talent and virtue, it also proves that we do not have a body and soul of integrity.

451. Stay away from all evils and pursue all good conducts. What are evils?

Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evils, there is close association between one’s deeds and the consequent reward. Reap as one has sown. The mill of the Greatest Creator grinds slowly but surely. 452. Honesty is one of the symbols of the perfect soul. One had better be frank and honest with each other if he wants to ensure that in his relations with others there is no friction, jealousy, trepidation, vexation, and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
afflictions. Getting along with others in this way involves the least cost, and can give birth to the most genuine, close and enduring friendship. And the relationship formed on this basis incurs the least negative and passive effect. 453. People whose souls have the same frequency with and resonate with those of ours are all our kin relationship. All those who meet the following eight conditions are our close relatives. 1. Revere the Greatest Creator and follow the road of the Greatest Creator; 2. Revere life and nature, love life and peace. 3. Share weal and woe, show care and concern for us, and never oppress, exploit and bully us; 4. Speak gently, and never reprobate us, never show resentment against us, never sneer us, and never humiliate and retaliate against us; 5. Forgive our faults and always meet us with smiles; 6. Never contend and quarrel with us, never create a disturbance, never snatch from us, and always consider our interest first; 7. Give us happiness, joyfulness,freedom and blessing; 8. Get on well with us and never hurt us. It is time to redefine the kin relationship based on blood relations. We need to establish the new kin relationship, we should make all people have many kin relations on their journey of life, and we shall make life more and more beautiful. 454. What keeps me alive is my spirit; what makes me dead is my mind. When the mind is peaceful and tranquil the spirit shall abide within; when the mind is astir the spirit will disappear. 455.“Everything is consumed in commotion and is brought into existence in tranquility, and tranquility is the abode of spirit”. “Without peace of mind, you cannot go very far”. “Tranquility gives birth to wisdom, while commotion breeds fatuity”. What keeps me alive is my spirit, what makes me dead is the death of my mind. When the mind is peaceful and tranquil
800 Values for New Era Human Being
the spirit shall abide within; when the mind is astir the spirit will disappear. 456. What plants shall we grow in our garden of soul? Answer: We shall sow and plant: sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith, honesty, diligence, bravery, unselfishness, devotion, service, care, tolerance, consideration, compassion, mercy, and other flowers and plants. What weeds and barnyard grass shall we eliminate from our garden of soul? Answer: jealousy, hostility, outrage, contention, complaint, comparison, hatred, fear, anxiety, falsity, wickedness, ugliness, lie, hypocrisy, greed, possession, forced occupation, desire to excel over others, exculpation, and other weeds and barnyard grass. Reap as one sows. You will see and enjoy whatever you have sown. This is what the master of the earth requires us to do. Once we have built our garden of soul, and once we have get well prepared, we will be the selected seed to enter the era of Lifechanyuan and we will enter a brand-new era no matter what may happen around the year 2013. 457. There is one energy is called the energy of soul, which mainly comes from affection and love. Affection and love is itself a top-grade energy. A person with affection and love has a soul full of energy. A person without affection and love has a soul void of energy. As is always observable, anyone rich in affection and love is always full of vigor and vitality. They are optimistic, positive, lively, and intelligent. Even when they are in adversity, they are always filled with hope and yearnings.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
However, a person void of affection and love is always tedious, passive, stagnant, prim, devoid of vitality, vigor, and creation. Even if they are in favorable circumstances, they wear a woebegone expression, they sigh in despair, and cannot feel happiness and pleasure. 458. The substrate of art form is real nature. If we go deeper into everything we can finally trace each of them to its origin and ultimately find out its real nature. There is only one real nature in the universe. With the exception of the Greatest Creator, anything else is merely miraculous transformation and the artistic representation of the Greatest Creator. 459. The mechanism that maintains the order and harmony of art forms is kindness. To be more specific, kindness means the reverence for the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature. All behaviors that maintain the Greatest Creator, order, LIFE and nature are kindness. 460. The harmonious proportion and symmetry of art form is beauty. The beauty of everything is created by the Greatest Creator. Maintenance of beauty is the sacred obligation of God and Buddha, the ideal and pursuit of the sages and saints, and the wish of the populace. 461. Visualize your dream, and it will come true. When the image is formed and informed to the Greatest Creator, all you need to do is to wait patiently. Do not feel impatient and visualize another one. It takes a very long time for some visualization to become a reality. 462. No matter how good a doctor may be and no matter how miraculous medicine he has prescribed, he will be capable of nothing if a patient refuses to take the medicine and does not admit that he is ill.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
463. The greatest love is the love for LIFE. The greatest man is one who loves the LIFE of other people and the LIFE of the whole mankind and the LIFE of the whole universe. Love cannot only purify the soul of other people, but also perfect the structure of one’s own LIFE. The value and significance of love is inestimable. 464. If you do not have the Greatest Creator in your mind, you do not deserve to talk about love, because your talk of love will only be a smirch and blasphemy of love. 465. Bravely love those who deserve your love and devote yourself heart and soul to people pursuing sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith and honesty. In this way you will reap bounty rewards. “The retribution will be incredible”. 466. Mind is the most important of the Three Realms, and cognition is the most important of all rules. 467. Form arises from the mind and reality is created by mind. 468. Diseases arise from the mind, and disaster is be gotten by the mind. 469. There are dust and dirt in our souls. If the souls are purified, celestial beings will abide in our souls. If we are not willing to have them cleaned, demons and goblins will take possession of them. 470. If the mind is not empty, everything will be empty; if you are bent on possession, you may end in having nothing at all. 471. We can only find our bosom friends if we have opened all our souls; we can only find our bosoms if we completely expose ourselves; we can only find our bosom friends if we devote ourselves heart and soul.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
472. In the state of jubilation and joyance, people have the best psychosis, the agilest thinking, and the most beautiful souls. 473. The highest level of communication in the universe is not the communication in language but the communication in soul, which can also be called communication in consciousness or communication in soul. The most perfect communication in soul is the communication of love in soul. 474. The power of soul can transcend over time and space, and possesses the holy power of transforming nature and transforming the corruptible into the mysterious life. 475. If mind revolves around the form, you will be destined to enter the mundane world; if you are in pursuit of forms every day, you will be a laity. If your mind does not follow the revolution of forms, you are a sage. Just let forms change at their will, my mind will stick to the only Way. If you can make form revolve around your mind, you will be an immortal. If you can create form with mind, you will be a celestial being. If your soul transcends over all forms, you will have an unperturbed mind. If dharma-form arises in your mind, it will be a shackle; if your mind is free of dharma-form, it will be agile. If non-dharma-form exists in your mind, arrogance will grow in your mind and lead you to the path of evils and demons. When your mind is holographic, there will be no contradictions. 476. The broader the mind is, the more expansive the universe will be; the more profound the thinking is, the more extensive the space of LIFE will become.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
477. Everything in Lifechanyuan is beautiful—beautiful soul, beautiful clothes, beautiful language, and beautiful looks. Even a person with extremely ugly look can unfold his most beautiful aspects to other people so that he can show his respect for them. You cannot become a celestial being if you don’t love beauty, don’t know what beauty is, and cannot or is not willing to exhibit your most beautiful aspect before your spectators. 478. The good operating mechanism of society shall need people with beautiful souls to engage in its construction. If your soul is not beautiful, the good operating mechanism of society can never be built. Therefore, the building of soul is of prime importance. And beautiful souls alone are not enough, we should build good operating mechanism of society with beautiful souls. Otherwise it will be difficult for beautiful souls to last for long. This is comparable to the love between man and woman. Initially everything is as wonderful as both parties have expected, but if both parties do not build a mechanism to maintain the continuous operation of their original goal and intention, very soon contradictions will arise, which will either cause both parties to fall apart or plunge them in a life of misery. 479. It is impossible to build the beautiful homestead in the wilderness of soul and in the desert of culture. Even if it is momentarily established, such homestead cannot stand the battering of rainstorms. Different cultures give rise to different human groups, and different human groups give birth to different social systems. 480. Do you want to have a rough time? That’s easy. You will certainly have a lot of hardships to endure if you insist on splitting hairs and do not open your soul, and if you always think that you are correct. Do you want to be pleased and happy? No problem. You will enjoy boundless pleasure
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and happiness if you open your soul and think in unconventional way and can realize that you are wrong. 481. The pursuit of pleasure and happiness in reality begins with the restoration of spiritual perception and the cleansing of soul. Only if the frequency of our souls are the same as that of the Greatest Creator and resonates with it, can we enjoy infinite pleasure and happiness. Even the discomfort and diseases in our flesh are caused by the dirt in our souls. The diseases will disappear when the souls are cleansed. 482. Any disease, be it heart trouble, arthritis, cancer, or AIDS, stems from the problem in the structure of life form. The root does not lie in the superficial form but in the essence. The structures of our bodies will change with the change of our soul. To have a healthy body, we should first have a healthy and sound soul. 483. The eating of poisonous food will not affect one’s soul, instead it will only harm the physical health of the eater. Therefore, neither smokers, nor meat eaters, nor wine drinkers will go to hell. Whether one goes to hell or heaven has nothing with cigarettes, wine and meat but is directly related to the nonmaterial structure of life. 484. The best recipe for keeping a beautiful soul is following teachings of Jesus Christ and Sakyamuni. The next approach is to conduct self-improving and self-refining in Lifechanyuan. 485. Perfection is created by perfection, and defects are caused by defects. A beautiful soul can perceive beauty, and an ugly soul can perceive only ugliness.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
486. There is no jealousy in the paradise. Equally there exists no complaint in Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Celestial Islands Continent in the land of heaven. All those who yearn for the beautiful future and wish to live in heaven should not harbor jealousy and complaint. If people engaged in self-improving and self-refining do not get rid of jealousy and complaint, they cannot enter the heaven. 487. Jealousy reflects an ugly soul. Jealousy arises from comparison. The comparison with others in your category breeds jealousy. Jealousy indicates the defects of the nonmaterial structure of life. Jealousy is a disease of soul, which represents the ugliness of human nature. Jealousy will cause harm not only to oneself, but also to one’s kindred, community, and society. Jealousy stands for narrow-mindedness and lack of self-confidence. Jealousy marks the degeneration of man into wickedness. A jealous person can never go to heaven. 488. To eliminate jealousy, one must engage in self-improving and self-refining. Since jealousy arises from the community life, it is necessary to carry out self-improving and self-refining in the community life. One can never dispel jealousy if he conducts self-improving and self-refining behind the closed door. 489. The most expansive ocean can accommodate the greatest number of rivers. The most open soul is most likely to give birth to the greatest thought. People who are not particular about their food are most stout. People who obtain the most love are those who devote their love unselfishly to as many people as they can. 490. Conscience is the touchstone to verify whether one has a perfect soul. It is also a watershed to demonstrate the achievement of one’s
800 Values for New Era Human Being
self-cultivation and self-refining. More importantly it is the best credential by which to judge whether a person can enter the land of heaven. Perfect conscience is the symbol of a person’s purity of soul. Have a good conscience, and you will be rewarded with endless fortune and good luck. However, a bad conscience can only invites infinite disasters. 491. Admiration leads to perfection, while fastidiousness brings about deformity. Only people with a rich soul are capable of praising and admiring others. People destitute in soul never admire and praises others. A person with a perfect self often admires and praises others, while a person with an ugly self often is fault-finding and always debases others. 492. Be fault-finding at other’s blemishes and the blemish will be magnified, however if you admire other’s virtue, the virtue will be magnified. To ensure the pleasure and happiness of others, Chanyuan advocates that we turn a blind eye to the blemishes of other people and eulogize their strong points. In this way, with time people will become more kind-hearted, will have beautiful soul, will be grateful, reasonable and understanding. 493. You can shower words of praise. Good weather is favorable for the growth of crops, and fine words are beneficial to the development of friendship. 494. Discover and think about more of others’ advantages and strengths, pay less attention to their weaknesses and shortcomings. Think more about your own weaknesses and shortcomings and do not flaunt your own advantages and strengths.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
495. Follow sincerity, kindness, and beauty closely and shun falsity, wickedness, and ugliness. Have a pious heart in achieving Buddhahood, and run towards Celestial Islands Continent! 496. We should first conquer and perfect ourselves. On the earth, few are immaculate. Everyone has his defects. A person with defects is not entitled to indoctrinate others. Let’s first think about ourselves and have an introspection if we feel angry about other people’s shortcomings and defects, if we attempt to educate and guide others, if we are not pleased with everything we have seen, and if we reprehend and complain against others. 497. A mind bent on comparison is a mind bent on wickedness. Once one’s mind begins comparison, the peace of mind will be disturbed. The result will be making trouble out of nothing. And trouble may even arise from within. A mind bent on comparison represents the insufficient self-confidence and connotations, the lack of understanding of common sense, the confused thinking, and the lack of understanding of the value and significance of life. 498. All tragedies are caused by the imperfect self. What’s worse, we are reluctant to face the reality and recognize our defects. We always focus our complaint and reprehension on others. A life of this kind is too hypocritical, too illusive, too vainglorious, and too unfortunate. Your suffering may never end if you escape from yourself and are afraid of facing yourself truthfully. One can get away from the abyss of misery and reach the land of heaven only by facing reality. 499. Wrath represents barbarism, ignorance, and the lack of civilization and good upbringing.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
500. Hatred is the poison to oneself and others. 501. Suspicion is the symbol of intolerance and abnormal mentality. 502. Complaint is a poisonous arrow shot at others. Do not harbor complaint against others. Everyone follows his own track of life and LIFE, everyone has his debts to pay, everyone has his personality and specialty, and everyone has his own mission and responsibility. Do not complain no matter how well or how badly others have done something, because complaint is a poisoned arrow.

800 Values for New Era Human beingďźˆSecond Edition Deiform Buddha Chapter 17: Consciousness, Structure and Energy 503. Consciousness, structure, and energy are three elements that make up the universe. 504. Consciousness decides existence. Different consciousnesses will lead to different forms of LIFE and existence and living conditions. 505. A person with an imperfect self is absolutely impossible to have a perfect consciousness. A person with imperfect consciousness is absolutely impossible to make correct judgment on things. The combined wisdom of three cobblers can never match that of a master strategist. The thinking of the multitude can never equal the great vision and insight of a saint. Democracy has always been the pursuit of people with mediocre wisdom, the magical weapon they employ to maintain their conservativeness, and the hidden weapon to strangle saints. 506. Different consciousnesses form different structures, and different structures make use of different kinds of energy. 507. There is nothing impossible. The only limit is the capability of consciousness and the transforming power of thinking.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
508. Consciousness originates from structure and acts on structure. Energy is neutral. Energy comes and goes with the changes of structures. Consciousness comes from nonmaterial structure. Different nonmaterial structures give birth to different consciousnesses. We can perceive the differences between trees, flowers and grass, insects, fish, birds and beasts, mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and man, celestial beings, Buddha and gods. The differences between them lie in their different structures, or rather in their different consciousnesses. 509. The greater the energy, the more invisible a thing will be; the smaller the energy, the more tangible a thing will be. 510. All substances have consciousness. 511. The differences between different life forms lie in the differences of consciousnesses and structures. 512. The bewilderment of self comes from the bewilderment of one’s consciousness. The bewilderment of life results from the disorder of one’s consciousness. Our sufferings mainly derive from the sufferings of our consciousnesses. All our uncertainties are rooted in our indefinite consciousnesses, in our failure to understand ourselves, and in our failure to understand what we really need. 513.
Most
of
man’s
sufferings,
frustrations,
anger,
enmity,
disappointment, desperation and other negative and passive feelings originate from the consciousness of the small self—“This is my family”, “This is my whom and whom”, “This is my what and what…” Such consciousnesses are poison of soul, which may have a damaging and devastating impact on ourselves. If we have to deal with the endless and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
fussy troubles month after month and year on year, then we had better step out of the consciousness of the small self and walk towards heaven. 514. What is most powerful and vigorous is not in the exterior but is hidden in our consciousness. 515. When the self is perfect, then there will be no Taiji thinking, and there will be no opposites like truth and falsity, kindness and wickedness, beauty and ugliness, and good and evil. Then the thinking will be non-form thinking, the consciousness will be holographic, everything will blend naturally with everything else and become syncretic with Tao. 516. Let’s take a look at water. It will take the form of any container in which it is held. Whether it is round or square depends on the container. Man also possesses this property. Different generals will lead to soldiers of different fighting capacities. Different environments will foster different kinds of men. When you are close to the mountain, you will be familiar with the twittering of birds; if you live beside the water, you will have a good knowledge of fishes; one takes on the color of one’s company. If you associate with saints, you will have agile thinking, sudden enlightenment, and transcendence over the vulgarity; if you often mix in with laities, you will have prejudiced thinking, contention, and vulgar interests. 517. You should first have a thought before you can have a solution. If your thought has changed, everything will follow the change. When you are clear about your great wish, your intelligence and capability will be infinitely promoted. 518. Man’s brain is used not only to store knowledge, but also to do thinking.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
519. The highest realm of thinking for man is association, for celestial being is visualization, for Buddha is non-form, and for god is holography. 520. The highest realm of thinking is holographic thinking. It is the thinking of the Greatest Creator, or it can also be called the thinking of god, which is unimaginable to ordinary people. Buddha Sakyamuni has attained non-form thinking, Lao Tzu has achieved Taiji thinking, Mohammed has reached visualized thinking, Zhu Geliang, Einstein and the like have achieved associative thinking, artists like Beethoven have reached image thinking, and the common populace is capable of material thinking. Some prophets, witches, rabbis, astrologists, fortunetellers, people with extrasensory perception, and religious believers possess illusive thinking. 521. The greatest feature of illusive thinking is that every small step is a step forward but will finally retrace to the base point and that every idea is thought to be correct but will return to the starting point after a big circle. 522. There is a secret of life in visualized thinking. With visualized thinking, one can understand the Great Way of LIFE and will find the path to higher order of life space, and escape the bondage of time and space. Once we have understood the profundity of visualized thinking, we may be moved to tears and tremble with excitement. 523. A long-standing habit may induce stereotyped thinking, which is very difficult to break through once it is formed. The intellect of everyone is covered by an intangible web of thinking, everyone is weighed down by a heavy cross. They only cannot feel it or they can feel it but do not
800 Values for New Era Human Being
have the courage and power to break through its bondage. When they see people around live in this manner, they feel at ease and justified, they are accustomed to the situation and become numb and put up with it. They never think over questions like “Why should it be like this?” and “Is it possible if I am not like this?’. 524. We must be capable of unconventional thinking, otherwise it will be difficult to escape from foreordination. We should keep ourselves busy where earthlings are idling with hands crossed behind their backs and we should take it easy where earthlings are hustling and bustling, because 98% of the multitude are living their life according to the fore-ordinated programme. The tracks of their life and being have been programmed according to the screenplays. If we want to get away from the confines of heaven and earth, escape from the bondages of the Three Realms and Five Elements, and leave the realm of necessity for the realm of freedom, we must not share the frequency of or resonate with the thinking and consciousness of the multitude, instead we should act in an opposite way. 525. What is thought of as impossible in conventional thinking can be easily solved with unconventional thinking. Topography is an unconventional thinking. It can shift the position of space and make a closed space interconnected externally and internally. It is impossible to distinguish the exterior from the interior, just like the case of mobius strip, where it is difficult to tell the obverse from the inverse. Therefore, when we are faced with psychological obstacles, spiritual depression, and a difficult situation in life, we should say that we are in a hopeless situation. As long as we employ unconventional thinking, we may find hope right in front of us.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
526. Unconventional thinking is the magical weapon for us to explore the profound mystery of the universe and find out the truth. It is the best way for us to find the true meaning of life. As long as we proceed steadily forward, we will finally enter a vast world, by which time we will be amazed to find the nature of the universe and profound mystery of life. We will be thrilled to find out that we have a beautiful future life of immortals, we will love life and mankind more deeply, and we will cherish this life even more. 527. That existence decides consciousness is conventional thinking, while the thinking that consciousness decides existence is unconventional thinking. The beautiful future belongs to those capable of unconventional thinking. As is known from the mystery of the three elements of the universe (consciousness, structure, and energy), the beautiful future is not created by hand but by the brain, namely by consciousness. 528. 1+1=2 is normal thinking, and is the conventional thinking that conforms with logic. It is the basis of human thinking. Such thinking has nothing wrong in itself. The problem is: once such thinking becomes stereotyped, it will unconsciously strangle our new thought. We will be confined within conventional thinking and cannot make any discovery, invention, creation and progress. What’s worse, we may become inflexible, stiff, bigoted, stagnant, aloof and proud, cruel, and unreasonable. 1+1=0、1+1=1、1+1=3、1+1=4…… are unconventional thinking. Such thinking surpasses the conventional thinking. It starts from one phenomenon and extends the thinking to the vast universe and to the infinite time and space. It views the world as a whole instead of isolated individuals separated from each other. Such thinking can make people
800 Values for New Era Human Being
intelligent, wise, modest, open, accommodating, gentle, merciful, and reasonable. 529. Buddha has given us a magical boat—structure—to reach the other shore of life directly. Jesus has blessed us with the endless source of running water of life—energy. Lifechanyuan has offered us the roadmap of
heaven—the
Way
of
LIFE
(the
way
of
the
Greatest
Creator)—consciousness. The three fulcrums—structure, energy, and consciousness— have formed the trinity principle of self-improving and self-refining. 530. What the eyes see in front of us is the place we will go to. The space that our consciousness (spiritual perception) can perceive and concentrate on for a very long time is the space that our spiritual being will arrive at after the death of our flesh. 531. The consciousness of Buddha brings about the attainment of Buddhahood, the consciousness of a saint creates a saint, while the consciousness of a dog creates a dog. In the same way, whether one can become a celestial being, a sage, a mortal or a laity depends completely on one’s consciousness. 532. The consciousness of injustice is brought about by the defects in self, namely by the asymmetry and imperfection of the nonmaterial structure of our life. Viewing the Greatest Creator as being unfair does not mean that the Greatest Creator is unfair, but rather it means you yourself are unfair. If there exists unfairness, there would be no universe. 533. The order of consciousness requires the establishment of correct views on the world, life, LIFE, and value, and the right positioning of one’s place in the universe. According to the values of Chanyuan, we
800 Values for New Era Human Being
should know the coordinate system we are in and our position in the system, and understand the development direction of our life and being. Otherwise, our consciousness will be disordered, our mind will be a mess and cannot be put in order. 534. As far as the individual being is concerned, what is not in the consciousness does not exist. For something to exist, it must first exist in the consciousness. 535. If the consciousness does not change, the path of life will not change and the foreordination will not change. A certain cause necessitates a certain result. Happiness and anguish will be the inevitable result. However, if the consciousness has changed, the path of life will also change, and the foreordination will also change. The thing supposed to happen (result) will be transformed. Whether one goes to hell or heaven depends completely on his consciousness. 536. What is displayed externally is the intrinsic nature. If one wants to have a beautiful appearance, he must work hard on his intrinsic nature. And this intrinsic nature is the structure of life, which is referred to as gene by geneticists, as nature by Buddhism, and as nonmaterial structure of life by Lifechanyuan. 537. The life structure will determine the kind of LIFE space one will go to. The core of the determinant is our consciousness. To form good consciousness, we must concentrate our effort on thinking. The effort on thinking begins with cognition. If we cannot improve our cognition, we cannot promote our power of thinking. If we have not boosted our thinking, our consciousness cannot be transformed. If the consciousness does not change, the nonmaterial structure of LIFE will not be easy to
800 Values for New Era Human Being
change. If the nonmaterial structure of life does not change, we can only have characteristics of man. Man cannot go to the paradise, unless you have achieved the consciousness of angels, celestial beings, and Buddha. The nonmaterial structure of LIFE relies mainly on thinking. If thinking has not reached a certain depth, the corresponding consciousness structure cannot be formed. If consciousness does not change, the nonmaterial structure of LIFE will not undergo any changes. 538. A good structure (family) does not consume energy internally. As long as energy is consumed internally, the structure (family) will not be a perfect structure. A perfect structure can last forever, while a structure with a lot of defects cannot endure for very long. 539. The more symmetrical the structure of LIFE is, the more perfect it will be, and the more stable and firm it will be and the stronger vitality it will have. The more asymmetrical the structure of LIFE is, the uglier it will be, and the looser it will be, and the weaker vitality it will have, and the more likely it will perish. 540. Whether you are healthy and vigorous depends on whether the nonmaterial structure of LIFE is perfect. The better the structure, the more energy will be absorbed and the more healthy and vigorous you will be. The more defects a structure has, the more energy will be lost, and the more unhealthy and weaker you will become. 541. The differences of all things lie in the differences of their structures. Different structures absorb different energies. Replace the traditional structure with “dissipative structure�. Do not set up rules and regulations for yourself to restrict the free soaring of consciousness. This will not result in the isolation and occlusion of one’s own thinking and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
consciousness, and the entropy value of one’s own structure will not increase, and you will not go to the “state of death”. Then you can imagine yourself as celestial being and thus absorb the special energy needed by the LIFE structure of celestial beings. 542. Energy is attached to the structure. Without structure, energy will be in a mess. Only when energy is attached to the structure, will energy become holographic. Mess is disorder, while being holographic is being ordered. The energy in disordered mess has not any power. The energy in ordered holographic state can display mighty power. Structure will naturally absorb energy, and different structures absorb different energies. Energy is prevalent in the universe, and the channel for obtaining energy is boundless. 543. Life can be infinite, as long as you can uplift the frequency of thinking and obtain endless energy directly from the universe. Do not attempt to utilize others for your own benefit. As long as you can discover beauty and possess unselfish love, you can obtain endless source of energy. 544. The secret for the acquisition of inexhaustible energy lies in the full release of energy. Jesus has told us this secret: “Give him more if he already has a lot, and snatches from him whatever he may have if he has very little”. The more you contribute, the more greatly you will be remunerated. If you are stingy in contribution, you may lose what meagre possession you may have. You must absorb and accumulate energy, and at the same time you must also know how to release energy. It is selfish to only absorb and accumulate energy. If you have absorbed and accumulated too much energy, it will harm your body and being.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
545. The powerful the energy, the greater the vitality of LIFE will be and the greater capability you will have in resisting disaster and hardships. Without energy, LIFE would wither and perish. If one wants to be vigorous and energetic, he must continuously absorb energy and at the same time prevent the loss of energy. The major energy needed by LIFE is the energy of soul. 546. As long as we can break through the consciousness fence, we will enjoy a new vision. 547. Energy maintains the state of LIFE, gives vitality to LIFE, and makes LIFE take on the most vigorous state. Energy can prompt the multiplication of LIFE, but it can not cause the qualitative change in LIFE. Therefore, it is impossible to change the quality of LIFE and become celestial being and attain Buddhahood by absorbing and accumulating energy. 548. Structure absorbs energy and gives rise to consciousness, while consciousness perfects structure. Therefore the core and starting point of self-refining is to change consciousness. 549. How do we open dharma-caksus? We should closely adhere to the three elements of the universe—consciousness, structure, and energy. If we have understood the relations between them, dharma-caksus will open naturally, and we will no longer be perplexed by any profound doctrines or theories. We will be close to god if we have opened the dharma-caksus, revere the Greatest Creator, have the interest of the world in our mind, and seek happiness for those in tribulation.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
550. The errors in understanding lead to chaos in thinking, the chaos in thinking causes the disorder of consciousness, and the disorder of consciousness cause the bewilderment and misfortune of life. 551. LIFE lies in movement, health relies on mentality, happiness rests with soul, affluence depends on techniques, freedom lies in pursuit, perfection comes from thinking, and the attainment of immorality depend on consciousness. 552. The objective reality is the projection of consciousness, but it is not the projection of any individual’s consciousness but the projection of group consciousness. Consciousness creates reality, while reality acts on consciousness. There exists a two-way not one-way correlation between consciousness and reality. Sheer idealism and materialism have both distorted truth and are thus both wrong. 553. The expansion the space for survival relies on human relations. However, if you want to ascend to the higher space of life, you must finish the worldly relations and foster relations with celestial beings and associate with celestial beings. The best way to expand the space is to begin from thinking. The place that our thinking can reach is the place that our consciousness can reach, and the place that our consciousness can reach is the place where our future life will be. 554. We may judge where a person comes from and goes to by his state of consciousness. If during his life he has a consciousness similar to that of an animal, then we can say for sure that he has come from the animal world and will be reincarnated as animal after death. If he has a consciousness of a saint at the time of death, then he will certainly go to the higher space of LIFE.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
555. Do you want to get rid of your current plight? You must first realize your mistakes. All the current plights are the objective reflection of your wrong consciousness. As long as you retain your incorrect consciousness, you will never get rid of your current plights, and even if you have got rid of one plight, next plight will follow. And there would be no sign of an end. Only if you have realized your mistakes, can you find the direction for progress. As long as you have understood that there is nothing wrong with the world but something has gone wrong with you, you will be able to perceive the ultimate goal of life. Only if we have known the ultimate goal of life, can we proceed to a higher order of life. There are magical methods to get rid of your plights. First you must engage in penitence, because although one’s own plights are seemingly caused by other factors, the root cause of the plights is yourself. 556. Soul is a spirited nonmaterial consciousness. Soul has eight major characteristics: (1). Soul is alive and has spiritualism; (2). Soul is nonmaterial and cannot be seen, heard, touched and measured in the material world; (3). Soul has not the slightest weight; (4). Soul is a consciousness; (5). Soul must be attached to a certain carrier so that it can have any function in the material world; (6). Soul has memory; (7). Soul has the attribute of terrain; (8). Soul can pierce or go through any objects like a beam of waves.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
557. The difference between soul and psychic energy is that soul is a spirited consciousness, soul is not psychic energy, psychic energy is the source of LIFE and spreads all over the universe, while soul is only an entity of consciousness. 558. Because soul has a terrain attribute, you must familiarize yourself as soon as possible with the place you are going to. You are not able to go to the place you are not familiar with. 559. Independent consciousness means that we have a clear standard in our consciousness, by which we will independently make correct judgment of the numerous and complicated phenomena without being affected by what others say, by the immediate interests before our eyes, by emotion, and by authority. If we do not cultivate our independent consciousness, we will be plunged in a situation, following the wind whichever direction it blows. We will be led by the nose and there will never be a way out. 560. The best future is mainly achieved through visualized thinking, and wisdom and diligence only play a secondary role. Website of Lifechanyuan—“New Oasis for LIFE”

800 Values for New Era Human beingďźˆSecond Edition Deiform Buddha Chapter 18ďźšOther Ideas 561. Mankind has three origins: the origin from the pyramid, the origin from the Garden of Eden, and the reincarnation of the dragon. 562. The core of culture is soul, the nucleus of soul is belief, and core of belief is the Greatest Creator. Different beliefs will mold different souls, different souls will give birth to different cultures, and different cultures will bring about different means of production and living and different social operation mechanisms. 563. Everything is born out of nothing, and everything may return to nothing. The more one has, the less one will have. You can have everything when you own nothing. You have nothing when you own everything. The more you own, the greater the emptiness you will feel. The greater the nonentity, the more real the existence will be. To ascend to the status of a celestial being, you must be in the state that you own nothing and yet have everything. That you own nothing and yet have everything is no paradox, instead it is a secret for you to move toward the beautiful space of life. 564. When you have no place to abide in, you actually have every place to abide in; when you have places to abide in, you actually have no place to abide in. Only if your soul can transcend over all phenomena and your
800 Values for New Era Human Being
nature can burst in full bloom, will you arrive at the wonderland of Elysium World. 565. Different forms give birth to soul, and soul can transcend over different forms. 566. The Greatest Creator has endowed us certain amount of free consciousness. We shall choose ourselves where we shall go. Everyone shall be responsible for his own choice. Reality is the portraiture of the free consciousness of LIFE. We have no one to blame, we cannot blame the heaven, the earth, the society, and other people. If we should decide what is wrong, we can say that there is nothing wrong with the universe and the world, there must be something wrong with ourselves. If we cannot understand this, we will lead a muddleheaded life; if we have understood this, we will have a clear and definite life. 567. Do not think that there is no one in charge of the earth. Ever since genesis, this earth has had its master. He has never left the earth. He loves mankind and has endowed us free will. He allows us to fully enjoy the wonder of the great garden of earth. Man cannot control the earth, and man cannot conquer heaven. Man can only survive and live on the earth according to the will of his creator. Man must think how he should exist and live so that he can conform to the will of the master of the earth. As long as man’s wish and actions conform to the will of the master of the earth, man will have a better future. If man deviates from the will of the master of the earth, his future will become more and more gloomy. 568. Religion and political party are one of the sources of social disturbances and unrests. Conversion to a religion amounts to the abnegation of freedom of soul. Becoming a member of a political party means the abnegation of freedom of life. The abnegation of freedom
800 Values for New Era Human Being
means that you are willing to be a slave. A slave with no freedom in spirit, thinking, soul, and flesh will be the accomplice of evils and will be ready to launch bloody attack against his compatriots at any time under the altisonant excuse and under the guise of ornate dictions. 569. Everything within the range of rational numbers is a destiny. 570. Coincidence is the superficial phenomena of the development of things. It is tangible and can be perceived. Coincidences are isolated from each other. Inevitability is the main body of the development of things. It is intangible and cannot be perceived through vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and touch. Inevitability can be perceived only through spiritual percption. The superficial phenomena of a thing are decided by its essence. The coincidences of superficial phenomena are guided and restricted by the inevitable law of the main body. Therefore, what seems to be contingencies are actually an inevitable result. 571. The tiny difference in the microcosmic nucleus is the huge difference in the macrocosmic phenomena. 572. Everything exists for its own purpose and function. There is nothing that does not have a purpose and function. 573. Everything follows its kind, every person follows his mind, every mind follows its soul, and every soul follows its master. There is no exception. God belongs to the category of god, goblin belongs to goblin, Buddha belongs to Buddha, monster belongs to monster, man belongs to man, ghost belongs to ghost. This is how things are. Those belonging to heaven will enter the land of heaven; those belonging to hell will go to hell; those belonging to the human world will stay in the human world. The net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through.

574. Poverty may lead to its opposite, the ending may start a new beginning. 575. As observable from the holographic state of the universe, there are no parallels that do not intersect each other or divert from each other. Parallels will also intersect each other or divert from each other. 576. All profound mystery lies in the holographic order. 577. Everything is an interaction between yin and yang. Man, being one of everything, is also very naturally an interaction between yin and yang. Put in simpler terms, man’s flesh is yang while man’s soul (spiritual entity) is yin. Put in more complicate terms, the whole material world is the yang that man relies on for living, and the whole nonmaterial world is the yin that man relies on for living. All belong to the material world if they can be seen by eyes, heard by ears, smelled by noses, tasted by tongues, felt by the body, and measured by scientific instruments. All else belong to nonmaterial world. 578. Man can soar freely in the nonmaterial world. 579. Morality is the collective term for Tao and virtue. Tao is the consciousness and psychic energy of the Greatest Creator, the blood of the universe, the headspring of life, the magical force that maintain the orderly operation of the universe, and truth. Virtue is the intrinsic quality of saints and sages of human society, which is based on the understanding of Tao. Virtue is the protecting railings that guide the human society along the sensible, auspicious, healthy, and happy road. Morality is the principle and magical force that maintain the ordered and healthy development of the universe, nature and human society. 580. The real masters exist not to impose shackles on people but to emancipate people’s soul. All lectures and sermons are to initiate the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
convenient way of spiritual perception. Compared with the explanations to the blind people about the wonder and magnificence of the boundless universe, it would be better to cure him of his blindness so that he can see for himself. 581. Everything in nature has a period of validity. Flowers will bloom in time, otherwise they will lose their opportunities. Talents should be exerted in time, otherwise they will become outdated. The beauty of body and mind should be displayed in time, otherwise they may disappear after a period of time. Jewels and gems should be beset at the bright places so that their values for existence can be displayed, otherwise they will be no different from ordinary rocks. 582. We should learn from peaches, which display their best qualities outside for people to enjoy and thus protect and continue their life; do not learn from walnuts, which encase themselves in the hard nuts and finally lose the opportunity to continue their life. 583. Those grow the fastest have the shortest life span. Therefore, do not pursue speed in anything and do not take the shortcut. It is necessary to build up with each small step. 584. Rotten apples should be cleaned out of the apple baskets in time, otherwise they will infect other apples very quickly and render the whole basket rotten. A collective should eliminate in time those disgusting individuals who sow discords, retail gossips, and destroy harmony. Otherwise they will destroy the peace and harmony of the whole collective. 585. Man can add vitamins, headache oil, and egg into the feed for dog and use it as bait for fish. The fish will swallow the bait. Monsters have
800 Values for New Era Human Being
cast money, power, and beauties in the human world as baits. Man is easy to rise to these baits. 586. As we can know from the earthshaking experiment of the crystallization of water, when people are rejoiced and have love water will take on a very beautiful crystal structure. In the same way, if we revere the Greatest Creator, LIFE and nature from the bottom of our heart, our physiological, mental and thinking structures will take on a greatly ordered, harmonious and beautiful structure. This structure is the beautiful structure which can help us to escape from disaster and progress toward the higher LIFE space and achieve the qualities of celestial beings. 587. The revelation of the strangler ficus: if we feel the suffocating atmosphere, it shows that there may be strangler ficus in our environment. 588. The place of necrosis can not feel anything. 589. The wicked kindness is always under the disguise of sincerity, considerateness, and care. “I do all this only for your good”. The wicked kindness can always make us uncomfortable, restrained, unpleasant, and unhappy. Wicked kindness can not only destroy one’s splendid future but also can break one’s belief. Wicked kindness is omnipresent. It is often clothed in kindness. So you can never have an effective defense against it. 590. When the cup is empty, it will have vast uses. When man is empty, he becomes a celestial being, and a Buddha. 591. The first feeling is real, and the first impression is the hint from the Greatest Creator whether our life will be smooth and as good as we have expected. The first signal sent to us by the Greatest Creator is most favorable to us, most accurate, and most considerate to us.

592. Chanyuan does not advocate the abnegation of everything and the abandonment of everything. We should undertake our responsibility. We should not willfully and hastily decide to give up things at random. What should be given up should be given up for sure. What should not be given up should not be given up randomly. Constant sawing can break wood in halves, constant water drops can wear away the stone. As long as we stick to the road of the Greatest Creator, everything will be just fine when the right time comes for it. When conditions are ripe, everything will be in its appropriate course. If we throw away and give up certain things arbitrarily, the result will be more haste and less speed. Then there will be no room for regret. 593. Every life being does not know about misery at the very beginning. At the time when things were designed, the Greatest Creator has considered all this. He has endowed them only the original instincts, and has not endowed them the thinking of contention. Everything has been designed such as that they will each take their own responsibility, take on their own elegant demeanor, and each will find their own pleasure. There does not exist “unfairness at the beginning.� Neither is there the issue that the nonmaterial structure of some life is perfect while the nonmaterial structure of other life is imperfect. As long as we have understood that every life being knows nothing about misery at its beginning, and return to our self, we will understand the origin of contradictions and our direction of endeavor. 594. The commonness of Lifechanyuan is the pursuit of celestial being. Anyone pursues happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing, yearns for Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, Celestial Islands Continents of Elysium World, and enthusiastically participates in the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
creation of the era of Lifechanyuan is who can combine perfectly and harmoniously his personality with the commonness of Lifechanyuan 595. General theory of relativity may lead to the following views on life and the world: (1). What we have known is not truth but a distortion of reality; (2). The teachings, theories, and conceptions that people in a certain religion, political party, and state system regard as absolutely correct may actually be wrong; (3). Any theory is not absolute truth, we should not blindly believe in the so-called classics and theories, instead we should think from a holographic perspective; (4). It is possible to gain rejuvenescence, or become senile before one’s time or live in different spaces; (5). Any conclusion in the microscopic time and space can be wrong when viewed against the macroscopic time and space; (6). The conclusion drawn from within a certain system will not be consistent with the conclusion drawn from without the system; (7). There is a “natural law� in the universe, which applies to all times and spaces; (8). There are differences between the abstract theories and the reality; (9). There is no absolute time and space. 596. In the presence of Tao, virtue shall not be discussed; in the presence of virtue, benevolence shall not be discussed; in the presence of benevolence, righteousness shall not be discussed; and in the presence of righteousness, courtesy shall not be discussed. In the absence of Tao
800 Values for New Era Human Being
virtue shall be emphasized; in the absence of virtue, benevolence shall be stressed; in the absence of benevolence, righteousness shall be stressed; in the absence of righteousness, courtesy shall be stressed. 597. What is real is unreal; what is unreal is actually real. 598. Although the mystery of nature cannot be revealed, we can still derive
some
information
from
the
irrational
number
Pi
(circumference-diameter ratio) and Phi (golden mean)—one is the infiniteness of the universe and LIFE, the other is that the LIFE of man is of finite cycle but once LIFE has gone beyond the category of rational number, it will enter the scope of irrational number, where LIFE is infinite non-recurring. This is comparable to the teaching of Buddhism, “Transcend over the confines of the Three Realms and unrestrained by Five Elements”. 599. Whatever can be imagined in one’s brain has its existence. 600. To achieve our purpose and realize our wishes, we should first express ourselves clearly. Only if we express ourselves clearly, will the negative universe and everything and the surrounding world better cooperate with us. If we cannot express ourselves clearly, even the Greatest Creator, god, Buddha and bodhisattva can not help us. If we are muddleheaded, the surrounding world will also be perplexing; if we are at a loss, the surrounding world will also be in a mess. 601. Fate is predestined, luck can be controlled in the present life. As for fate, we had better take things as they are. There are 18 factors that are uncontrollable in life, so we should submit to the will of God Crying will be useless. There are many factors in life, which are controllable via free will, so we must be positive and exert ourselves and scale the high peaks.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
602. We must be observant and alert. We should climbed up from the bottom of the well and actively accept the positive energy, associating with people who have higher wisdom and have opened their spiritual perception. In this way even the rotten wood can be carved into unparalleled masterpiece of art. 603. Some books, some people, and some environments can transform the corruptible into mysterious life; some thinking, some consciousness, and some remarks can make sages quickly acquire the quality of celestial beings; a chance, an opportunity, and a get-together can change the track of life and fate completely. 604. Knowledge is people’s understanding and summarized experience of the material world. Wisdom is the sublimed knowledge; it is man’s capability to discern, analyze and judge the connotation and denotation of things and capability to invent and create. Spiritualism is the sublimation of wisdom. It is man’s capability to communicate with nonmaterial world. 605. All cognition and experience acquired without personal thinking and comprehending is knowledge. 606. All capability acquired through the thinking (analysis and judgment) of the head or the perception of soul is called wisdom. Wisdom cannot be acquired via vision, hearing, olfaction, taste, and touch. Wisdom is the crystallization of thinking, the “child” of thinking, and the result of one’s thinking. 607. Wisdom is divided into five levels: human eyes wisdom, deva eyes wisdom, wisdom eyes wisdom, dharma eyes wisdom and Buddha eyes wisdom. Human eyes wisdom is the lowest wisdom based on the material
800 Values for New Era Human Being
world, Buddha eyes wisdom is the highest wisdom acquired after one has acquired enlightenment and can perceive nature. 608. A person without wisdom does not know where he should apply his power, on what he should concentrate his mind, and how he can use time efficiently. Wisdom can make an abundant life, but it cannot solve the ultimate anxiety of man. Only when wisdom is promoted to the level of spiritualism, will man possess the capability to distinguish between sincerity, kindness, beautyďźŒlove and falsity, wickednessďźŒ ugliness and hate, will man possess morality, and understand the direction and purpose of life, and communicate with the nonmaterial world, and understand the connotations of heaven and hell, and lay the foundation for achieving the qualities of celestial beings and Buddha. 609. Meditation is the advanced communication of the subconscious level with
the
celestial
beings.
Many
extrasensory
perception
and
psychokinetic power has been obtained in this state. This is a supreme state of tranquility, and a feeling of melting in the universe when you are in the state of selfless. 610. Spirit mainly embodies an energy state of the LIFE structure, while consciousness mainly embodies the connotation of LIFE structure. When the consciousness is perfect, spirit will be in a good state. However, a good spirit does not necessarily show that consciousness is perfect. 611. All information of the past and the future is not in the brain but in the universe. The nerve network of the brain serves only as the bridges and channels that connect consciousness with the universe. Therefore our memory is not in the brain but in the universe. Only when man and nature is blended as one will he retrieve all his past and future information.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
612. Dreamland reflects the state of our consciousness and LIFE structure. 613. There is only one you, be it the incarnation, the ultimate body or body of communal bliss. The moon reflected in a thousand rivers, but there is only one real moon. There does not exist a real “counterpart man”. This is all a matter of perspective and thinking not a matter of essence. 614. There is a limit to everything. When the limit is exceeded, one thing will be transformed into another modality. Releasing and enlightening a person means the transformation of man into another LIFE form and the transformation of the LIFE structure of man into other LIFE structures. 615. When one is too refined, he will not enjoy popularity. The man with more perfect structure of LIFE will be more solitary and have fewer bosom friends in the human world, because people cannot understand the profound music you play. You have too fine a sentimentality for people to perceive. 616. The correct belief is accommodating, and holographic. There can be not set rules, non-dharma is dharma. If in our inner mind there is great conflict, it proves that we are too radical. As is indicated in the Chinese word Ling Huo (flexibility) , you should be full of LIFE (huo) before you can have soul (Ling). If we inflexibly stick to a certain thing, including belief, then we are not being flexible. If you are too rigid and stiff, you cannot expect to have soul or spirit. 617. The place vulnerable to injury is the weak spot with defects. Self-improving and self-refining is to find out one’s weak spot and reinforce the spot, and find out the spot with defects and perfect it. The more perfect a place is, the less likely it is to be exposed to harm. The more imperfect a place is, the more vulnerable it is to harm and attack.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
618. Before his spiritual perception is initiated, man follows a fixed track of his destiny. In the same way that an astronomer predicts accurately the orbits of planets, the wise fortuneteller can completely foretell the future of a man. After a man’s spiritual perception is initiated, his destiny will be completely in his own hands. Then a fortuneteller, however great he might be, will not be able to forecast the direction of his life, because a person with spiritual perception can change at any moment and can change in a wide variety of forms in a second. We engage in self-improving and self-refining so that we can initiate our spiritual perception. What is meant by enlightenment is the opening of one’s spiritual perception. 619. The reason for the failure to get one’s spiritual perception is too much reliance on vision, hearing, taste, olfaction and touch. If the functions of these sense organs are lost, one can rely totally on spiritual perception. 620. With psychic energy, the mountain will flourish in luxuriance; with psychic energy, waters will brim with fish and turtles; with psychic energy, the heaven will have good weather; with psychic energy, the earth will overflow with a wide variety of LIFE forms; with psychic energy, man will have endless charm. 621. The material world has its own programmes, while the nonmaterial world has its own principles. If we employ the programmes of the material world to scale and verify the principles of the nonmaterial world, we will draw preposterous conclusions. 622. Mechanisms and programmes are prevalent. Once you lose yourself in the mechanisms or programmes, you will be caught up in them and feel the unbearable afflictions. Therefore we should make correct choices.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
623. The more advance the LIFE is, the more perfect its programmes for survival will be; the lower the LIFE is, the more crude its programmes for survival will be. Compared with swine, man has broader and freer space of life. Compared with man, celestial beings has a broader and more elegant space of existence. 624. All those descending from the heave world to the human world are kind-hearted and honest and tolerant. All those who have a pure soul and are unwilling to bring sufferings to others are having a difficult and miserable life in the human world, because currently the programmes of Satan are running in the human world. By these programmes, the law of jungles reigns supreme. The immoral you are and the less conscience you have, the better chances you have for survival. 625.Without a good and ordered programme (system), the beautiful wishes and effort will vaporizes like bubbles, because individuals have difficulty in sticking to beautiful mentality and effort for a very long time. 626. Escape from the bad programmes. Once you are caught up in some programmes, you have no choice but to follow the programmes and drift with the tide. State, political party, religion, and family are all programmes, which have formed the main links in the programmes of the realm of necessity. If you want to escape from the shackles of the programmes of the realm of necessity and enter the realm of freedom, you must escape from all bad programmes. How can you escape from those programmes? One is to accumulate your merits and virtues, another is to pay back your debt, and the third is to rely on the Greatest Creator. 627. What programmes are bad programmes? All those programmes will be bad programmes if they prevent people from obtaining happiness,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
joyfulness, freedom and blessing in life and always cause people to be anxious, miserable, worried, dreaded, and troubled. 628. Every day might be the last day, during which one should accomplish things most satisfactorily and do not leave behind any regrets. 629. You supervise yourself, and make your conscience dictate your words and deeds. Set up a court of judgment in your own mind. You are the judge. When you cannot manage, penalty will come any time. 630. The nature of the world is illusion. Life is originally an illusion. The problem is how long the illusion may last. If we can survive for a thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred million years in the illusion, then the illusion will be meaningful. The past is illusive, the future is illusive, and all the scenes that come to mind when one closes one’s eyes are illusive. However, the effect and influence of all illusions on man are real. 631. Void refers to the nonmaterial which is illusory, transient, invisible, inaudible, intangible and traceless. Substantiality refers to material, which has a form and shape, and is substantial and useful, visible, audible, tangible, and traceable. Pursuit of void means the pursuit of ideals and beliefs, the adherence to faith and morality, and attention to consciousness and spirit, the sublimation of personality, and the perfection of quality. The pursuit of void is to satisfy the spiritual life. The pursuit of substantiality means the pursuit of value for use, mainly the material conditions necessary for the satisfaction of the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, transport, sex, and safety. The pursuit of substantiality is for the purpose of survival. The pursuit of void and the pursuit of substantiality are a unity of opposites, neither of which should be neglected. Survival is the foundation, and the purpose is for a better
800 Values for New Era Human Being
life; life is the sublimation, and the purpose is for a better survival. Celestials have fully experience life, have solved the problem of survival, and can then spend a lot of time on the pursuit of void. Without the pursuit of substantiality, it would be impossible to lead a comfortable life and poverty is a tough situation; without the pursuit of void, you will stay in the original position, swine will always be swine and man will always be man. 632. Do not distinguish between reality and illusion. Reality is illusion and illusion is reality. “Form is no different from emptiness�. Material world and nonmaterial world are both worlds in which man can exist. 633. Close one door and many other doors will automatically open for you; open one door and many other doors will automatically close. When death is chosen, the door of life will automatically close; when the door of life is opened, the door of death will automatically close. There are only 12 doors of life (as far as man is concerned). There are thousands of ways of life. No matter which way you take, it will lead you to one of the 12 doors of life. 634. Do not take sincerity for dung and dirt. On the journey across the 36-dimension space and 20 parallel worlds, one can find one truth—the more sincerity a place has, the closer it is to the paradise; the more devoid of sincerity a place is, the closer it is to hell. A place overflowing with sincerity is harmonious and auspicious; a place devoid of sincerity is overloaded with sufferings and tribulations. 635. People accustomed to living on earth assume that the earth is gigantic and that people can only live on earth. It never occurs to them that there exists a more colossal world and that we can very easily emigrate to those places.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
636. Happiness always belongs to those who follow the trends of times and play to the score; affliction always descends on those who obdurately keep to tradition, can not adapt to circumstances, and are afraid of changes. 637. Times are changing, ideas are changing, lifestyle is changing, and the relations between husband and wife should adapt to these changes. Only change is the way to steadiness. 638. Any theory and viewpoint is suitable to only a particular time and space and is applicable only to certain conditions. When the environment has changed, time and space has changed, and conditions have changed, such theory or viewpoint shall not be applied blindly and mechanically. 639. When you have taken the wrong direction, the faster you walk the greater loss you will have to endure; if you have chosen the right direction, you have taken the best shortcut even if you have encountered temporary setbacks and frost and severe cold. 640. Christianity has the headstream of LIFE but cannot see the ocean of LIFE. Buddhism has the ocean of LIFE but cannot see the headstream of LIFE. Taoism can find neither the headstream of LIFE nor the ocean of LIFE. Other religions have many more defects. 641. It is ignorance to negate the wonder of the boundless universe and the infinite layers of LIFE with your own limited thinking and vision; it is fatuity to impose criteria for the infinite time and space and wisdom with your own ignorance. Jesus says that the number of people capable finding the gate of LIFE is very small, and the number of people capable of finding and entering the gate of LIFE is even smaller. The square and spacious road is the road for the secular world. The road taken by the multitude leads to death. Only those who edge their way into the narrow
800 Values for New Era Human Being
gate and trek along the rugged trails have the hope to see the dawn of LIFE, finally climb up the perilous peak of LIFE, and enter a vaster field of LIFE. 642. How can we enter the holographic thinking? Lao Tzu teaches us to “return to infancy”, Jesus instructs us to “become childlike”, and the pure man Zhang Sanfeng says, “To follow is to be a mortal, but to go against is to be an immortal, all lies in the reversal of the conventional”. Buddha teaches us to “stay away from all forms”, and “have nothing resides in mind”, which is the most masterly way of dharma. 643. In the history of this human world, only Jesus, Sakyamuni, and Deiform Buddha know where they come from, why they come here, and where they are going in the future. Only after we have understood their wisdom, can we be sure about our past, present and future, and have a good life every year. 644. If you abstain from one source of profit, you may marshal an army ten times stronger; if you abstain from ten sources of profit, you may marshal an army ten thousand times more powerful. Jesus requires us to give up kin, property, and everything else if we want to become his disciples. This is not severing relationship, but to put it to better use. Lao Tzu teaches us, “Therefore the Sage puts himself last, and finds himself in the foremost place; Regards his body as accidental, and his body is thereby preserved.” Buddha requires us to be devoid of form of ego, other people, age and dharma. They are all teaching us the Supreme Authentic Wisdom. If we gradually abstain from the sources of several short-term profits, we may quickly obtain long-term profits. 645. From the perspective of dreamland, our reality does not exist; in terms of the long course of time, the reality we are in is changing every
800 Values for New Era Human Being
moment, is transient, and thus does not exist, either. Therefore, reality is actually not reality, however, we must express this “reality” in language. So we can only make do with the word “reality” to explain the reality at this time and moment, when actually what we call reality is not reality. We have no way but to arbitrarily employ “reality” to express our meaning. If we mistake “reality” for the real situation, we have misunderstood the meaning of reality. Hence, “reality is not real reality but the nominal reality.” 646. We are a fortunate generation to have caught up with the era of the major adjustment of LIFE in the universe. It is an opportunity in hundreds of millions of years. We can take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the bondage and shackles of misfortune and fully exhibit the splendid aspect of human nature. The operation involves the close cooperation of everyone, which is not for any other purpose but for the sake of ourselves. If we follow Tao we will enjoy longevity and endless blessings; if we go against Tao, we will be permanently beset with worries. 647. Anyone who has been through the baptism of the values of chanyuan will have his value of LIFE increased, no matter whether you admit it or not, because your mode of thinking has changed. The change in the mode of thinking will necessarily bring about the change in the form of LIFE. And the change in the form of LIFE is the symbol that the value of LIFE has increased. 648. Reliance on and adherence to the values of Chanyuan is the best guarantee for a beautiful life and future. Reliance and adherence supplement each other. What is not reliable can not be adhered to. What is hard to adhere to cannot be relied on. Only via reliance and adherence, can one truly experience the wonderful realm brought about by the ideas
800 Values for New Era Human Being
of Chanyuan and live in happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing, and approach the land of heaven. 649. Simplicity + unsophistication =beauty 650. Beauty lies in symmetry and proportion. 651. A quiet place is free from misfortune, a place of excitement may breed disaster. 652. One heavy blow can destroy a person and render him powerless and incapable of recovery. However, it is often the long-term impact of the insignificant charge that brings the ruin to one’s life. However tough the metal might be, the constant exertion of small load of impacts on it will finally break it. This is what is called, “Constant sawing would break the wood in half, and incessant water drops may wear away the stone”. So it is advisable to avoid the long-term impact of small loads of energy. Insignificant power can cause qualitative change if it constantly acts on a thing, or a man, or a rule. 653. Small changes occur gradually, great changes occur suddenly. 654. Anyone who can reach the terminal is a great man. 655. Every knack is deeper than the sea. 656. In an efficient group, attention should always be placed on the consolidation and lengthening of the shortest board of the barrel. 657. It is easy for the ordinary to grow great and extraordinary, but difficult for the great and extraordinary to become ordinary. 658. The more you are admired by people, the more important it is to keep yourself sober-minded and humble; the higher the position you have, the more important it is to remain modest and cautious. Otherwise it will be not far from disaster.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
659. Balance carries happiness, extremity breeds disaster. Peace lies in mutual reinforcement and restraint. This is the rule governing the universe as well as man. Only through mutual reinforcement and restraint can all things develop harmoniously and the peace may prevail. The extreme development of any one thing will not only cause harm to other things but will also inevitably cause the destruction of itself. 660. The dribs and drabs and stumbles are ornaments of life, which cannot be avoided. Just let them arise and disappear. “The wind rustles the sparse bamboo groves, and no sound is left in the grove after the wind dies down; the wild geese swim across the cold pool, and no reflections are retained in the pool after the wild geese have flown away�. 661. We would rather starve to death than break our promises. 662. Material wealth is the tangible material on which flesh survives. It is represented by money and includes currency, gold, silver, jewelry, real estate, vehicles, land, food, household appliances, clothes, industries and the like. Spiritual wealth is the many factors that can bring health, freedom, happiness, comfort, and pleasure to consciousness, thinking, idea, and psychological activities. Spiritual wealth includes knowledge (books), skills, experience, kin relations, friendship, love, religion, nationality, state, fame, status, and so on. The soul wealth refers to the intangible energy and information that can cause the sublimation of the quality of LIFE and the evolution of the nonmaterial structure of LIFE into the perfect system. The soul wealth includes the soul of the Greatest Creator, the operating procedure of Tao, the apocalypse of God, the teachings of Buddha, the cultivation of celestial being, inspiration, telegnosis, and the like.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
663. Around man there is a field energy, a circle of rotating energy invisible to naked eyes, and light, which are changing with the changes of one’s psychology. A person with love emitting from within his mind will have a field energy and color of light different from the field energy and color of light when he is in the mood of hatred. When you watch two people in a quarrel, you will find that the field energy and light between them are like the volcanic eruption. When you watch too people deep in love, you will find that the field energy and light between them are revolving around each other, constantly flashing lights of different colors, just like an extremely elegant space walk. 664. A new form of ripping flesh into pieces by five horses: The five horses refer to fame, gain, power, sex, and obdurate opinion, and flesh here is the spiritual sense of man. Originally pure and clear, man’s spiritual sense becomes fragmented after being ripped by the five forces of fame, gain, power, sex, and obdurate opinion. 665. Those who help others actually help themselves. Those who harm others actually harm themselves. Those who cheat others actually cheat themselves. This is a principle only intelligible to people with great wisdom. If you cannot understand this principle, you will be an ignorant person with a blind soul. 666. What is perceived through vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch is not real, rather such perception is only the artistic transformation of what is real. The real reality is hidden in the substrate of the boundless universe, who can only be perceived through spiritual perception. 667. There is no free lunch in human world. Anything obtained cheaply is harmful.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
668. Lower wisdom is characterized by rashness, medium wisdom by competition, great wisdom can be mistaken for foolishness, and the supreme wisdom is formless. Solve contradictions with the formless wisdom. Dissolve all visible conflicts and contradictions with intangible thinking. Lower wisdom is kept busy in mapping out systems, medium wisdom is occupied in perfecting laws and regulations, great wisdom is preoccupied with spiritual civilization, and supreme wisdom roams free and unrestrained in the spiritual world. 669. Pressure is not the motivating power. Pressure is the driving force for the continuous emergence of falsehood, wickedness, and ugliness. Only when pressure is relieved and only when no pressure exists, can the sincerity, kindness, and beauty of human nature be fully displayed. 670. There is only one condition for happiness and pleasure, but there are thousands of reasons for unpleasantness and unhappiness. 671. Let the talent bring his genius into full play. Only when the talent can make full use of his genius, can he be put to great use. 672. The secret to pleasure is: open your mind. Publicize everything in your mind truthfully and unreservedly to the Greatest Creator, god and Buddha, relatives, friends and the society. The secret to happiness: contentment with one’s lot, unselfishness, lack of ego, lack of obdurate opinion, and diligence. The secret to freedom: reverence for the Greatest Creator, respect for god and Buddha, observance of laws, and no debt to be paid. The secret to blessing: giving alms unconditionally and unselfish devotion. 673. A person living solely for himself has not any values except for the consumption of resources and the suffering he causes to other people. A person living solely for his family cannot bring much benefit to the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
society except for his preoccupation to bring glory to his ancestry and his hustle and bustle for his children’s welfare. A person serving only his own nationality, state, or religion, or political party, or class will not bring any benefit to the whole mankind except for the creation of resentment, war, chaos, and conflicts. However, a person who seeks benefit for the whole mankind is at a height unparalleled by ordinary folks. His love will favor the whole mankind. This is where the greatness of Jesus and Sakyamuni lies. 674. With possession, one’s mind will become narrower. Marriage is the product of selfishness. Its motivation and purpose is to possess the other party eternally as private property. 675. State, religion, political party, and family assume the role of mother. If we are always attached to the state, religion, political party, and family, it shows that we are not growing up and we are children that can never grow up. 676. Belief is a private affair between oneself and the Greatest Creator, which has nothing to do with any other person. Belief is not decided by the number of followers. Belief should not be blind. Only the belief established through one’s reflection and comprehension can be firm and sturdy. Following whatever belief that enjoys the largest group of believers, you are not having a belief, instead you are timeserving. 677. Belief is the real identity of what you have expected and the solid evidence for what you have not seen. Belief means that while we are expecting something we already know its real identity and although we have not seen it we have already got solid evidence. This is how belief should be understood. The belief we talk often about is not belief but
800 Values for New Era Human Being
understanding. The real belief is that we believe when we still do not understand and are not clear. 678. Belief can be enigmatical. Belief shares the same frequency with soul. Belief is the meticulous and precise structure of thinking, and the perfect symmetrical system capable of instantaneous response. Belief is the attribute of the Greatest Creator, the character of god and Buddha, the quality of celestial beings, and the pursuit of saints. As long as man has real belief, any disease, blindness, leprosy, and paralysis can heal without any treatment. Belief cannot only cure illness, but can also secure resurrection. Jesus is the reincarnation of belief. He tells us in definite terms that as long as man has belief, he can uproot a huge tree and transplant it in the sea. Sakyamuni also says that as long as you earnestly believe in “Diamond Sutra”, you can become Buddha, and if you can attain the realm of “non-form”, you can become the real bodhisattva. 679. For a person, sufficient self-confidence can engender unlimited spiritual power. A person with the ambition to change the world will flash the light of wisdom; a person aimed at becoming a master will certainly radiates fantastic light; a person with infinite longing for life will naturally find a real guide. 680. Appearance and essence are two aspects of a thing, which form a supplementary unity. Thus the appearance of a thing has truthfully reflected the essence of the thing. Appearance will change with the evolution of essence, and essence will show its real look with the change of appearance. Therefore, to realize the essence of a thing, we should start with its appearance, we can see the essence of a thing through its appearance. Taoism teaches us to return to our true nature and innocence, and the main purpose of the teaching is to ask us to combine appearance
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and essence perfectly. Only in this way can we succeed in becoming celestial beings and Buddha. 681. Dharma has no set rules, non-dharma is dharma. Form has no set shape, non-form is form. 682. keeps the main and change the others according to the situation. 683. The unity between man and nature does not only mean the telepathy between man and nature, the consubstantiality between man and nature, and the holographic relation of man and nature, but also indicates that man should acclimatize itself to the change of nature and change itself with the change of nature. Any organism blind to changes or stubbornly sticking to its own frequency will either lead a tough life or meet the fate of elimination or extermination. 684. The system of Lifechanyuan is holographic. It does not go to extremes or attends to one thing and misses another. It does not only pay attention to process and neglect result, nor does it only place importance on the result and neglect the process, instead it combines Yin and Yang into a whole, blends life and the future of life together, integrates work and enjoyment, and combines the present with the future. 685. The softer the thing is, the easier the modulation of frequency and the resonance with other things. The more rigid a thing is, the easier it will be for it to rigidify and resist against resonance. The stone and large mountain are easier to be destroyed, while water and air are hard to be broken. It is very difficult for objects of different frequencies to resonate with each other. The object that has greater capability of resonance will be more active. The universe is the result of the resonances between objects. The less resonance, the closer an object is to death; the greater resonance with all things, the closer to the Greatest Creator.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
686. No matter how unreasonable we may think the programme of Satan is, we should not touch it in the details; instead we should disintegrate it macroscopically and strategically. We need not deal with it in details. 687. Every second is the watershed between life and death. Ignorance of second amounts to the ignorance of life and the abandonment of the good opportunity for the sublimation of life. It is comparable to the exchange of the precious diamond life for pebble life. Second makes the difference between life and death. Second decides the future and prospect. We should pay attention to the importance of second. “An iota of difference may lead to the greatest mistakes”. This principle applies equally to time and space, and to cognition and practice. A person has limited time and energy every day. The toughest part of the steel should be applied to the blade of a knife, and the diamond should be studded on the crown. The difference between the great man and the mediocre is how to most effectively make use of one’s time and energy. When life is at critical risk, we should flee for life. An interval of half a minute may mean the difference between life and death and decide our future direction. Little changes occur gradually but great changes happen all of a sudden. We should perfect consciousness as soon as possible, and perfect our soul. Let’s get ready for the coming great change. Otherwise it will be too late to regret. 688. The significance of the game of flirtation: (1). Eliminate the ugly jealousy in our consciousness; (2). The good medicine for us to succeed in becoming celestial beings; (3). Improve the art culture; (4). Sublime the character;
800 Values for New Era Human Being
(5). Deepen the friendship between brothers, sisters, and lovers, and lay good foundation for living in the Home without Marriage and Family; (6). Avoid going too far astray in the process of cultivation; (7). Increase the happiness and pleasure of the Home without Marriage and Family; (8). Make people no longer hanker after the family life. 689. The robust growth of plants requires fertile soil. To ascend to the highest realm of life and LIFE, man must have a rich connotation, and search for the best partnership. It is very important to have a correct idea on what books to read, what kind of people to associate with, and what websites to surf. 690. Any kind of life must live in an environment suitable for its features so that it can fully exert its skills and display its most precious quality and value. If it is unlucky to live in an environment unsuitable for its features, it cannot bring its advantages into play, and what’s worse, it will be bullied and derided by those surrounding it. We call Eden the environment most suitable for our survival. Everyone has his own Eden. Only in one’s own Eden can one display his own elegant demeanor. You must look for your own Eden if you want to make your life happy, joyful, free and blessed, if you want to exert your own advantages and strong points, and if you want to ascend to the highest realm of life and LIFE. 691. Christians take the Bible as their frame of reference, Muslims take the Quran as their frame of reference, Buddhists the Buddhist sutra as their frame of reference, communists take Marxism and Mao Zedong thought as their frame of reference, merchants take money as their frame of reference, politicians take power and position as their frame of reference, the literati take fame and gain as their frame of reference, the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
ordinary populace take their daily livelihood as their frame of reference…but ignorant person has no frame of reference. Frame of reference is extremely important, the choice of a wrong frame of reference will affect one’s whole life adversely. “A single slip may cause a lasting sorrow.” A frame of reference should guarantee that a person has a valuable, significant, happy and pleasant life, that a person can have a hopeful, enthusiastic, energetic and vigorous life, and that a person can live in the human world and in the paradise. Lifechanyuan is such a frame of reference. With a frame of reference, we can enter the coordinate system. Bacteria, insects, beasts, birds, fish and turtles, flowers, grass and wood, poultry and domestic animals, ignorant persons, laities, mortals, sages, celestial beings, buddha, and god are all different coordinate systems. Chanyuan celestials of Lifechanyuan are in the coordinate system of celestial beings. Different frames of references will lead to different courses of life; different coordinate systems will lead to different qualities of life. Let’s take Lifechanyuan as frame of reference, celestial beings as our coordinate system, and climb up toward the Celestial Islands Continent of Elysium World. 692. Nothing exists, everything is transient, everything has a symmetrical yin and yang, and for everything situation will change with the passage of time. What is eternal is only the Greatest Creator, consciousness, and the present. When the season approaches, bloom at the opportune time; whenever opportunity strikes, seize it, and do not let it slip away. Seize the moment to appreciate the rainbow when it emerges. 693. As far as the holographic system is concerned, there exists no issue of right or wrong, good or evil. Concerning the operation of the Way, there does not exist the right or wrong, and good or evil. There only exists the issue of symmetry and balance. However, to guide mankind, we need
800 Values for New Era Human Being
to have a clear and correct understanding of what is good and evil and what is right and wrong. 694. No matter how knowledgeable and wise you are, you may get half the result with twice the effort if you do not use visualized thinking, and the ideal future may not be attained even if you are totally exhausted. 695. You will become a person as you want yourself to be. 696. The energy of food is related to the mentality of the food taker. The feeling of gratitude is the secret to the maximum intake of food energy. 697. To be noble, you should always behave humbly. The bright road sometimes looks dark, and the road leading forward sometimes requires going backwards. Think unconventionally, and you will feel hopeful in predicament. 698. We arrive where we step towards. 699. Concentrate your attention on something on a long-term basis, and you will perceive what others fail to see. That is to say, as long as you constantly ponder over the mystery of the universe, you will ultimately perceive all the profound mystery. 700. As long as you are sincere and genuine, you will get whatever you want; as long as you do not have a peaceful frame of mind, you will get whatever you do not want. 701. Although the goal is the same, you may achieve different results if you employ different ways to achieve the goal. 702. Everything is destined in the mysterious universe. As long as we light up the magical light in our mind, and keep ourselves from rashness, fluster, haste, and hurry, sword and axe will be difficult to incur hurt to my shadow and water and fire will be difficult to damage my soul. After
800 Values for New Era Human Being
we traverse a section of darkness, we will enter the fairyland in the human world. 703. The more you contribute, the more you will be paid. You will always get paid for what you have contributed. 704. Never do anything that is not worth doing. 705. I will not offer help, if no one asks for it. I will immediately come to one’s help if somebody asks for it. If you want others to offer timely help, you must ask the right person. If you have not asked the right person, it doesn’t mean that he is not willing to offer you the timely help, it is because he is not in the position to do so. 706. Attach less importance to fellowship but more to values. In this way you will not be cheated by relationships. 707. Favor is not debt, but when you are desperate to pay the favor back, you may be forced to sell what your livelihood depends on. To avoid such a dilemma, you had better not owe others any favor. 708. Money fails intelligence and intelligence fails mind. 709. You will be a celestial being for each day you are not entailed by any
matter,
whatever
it
is,
be
it
big
or
small,
trifle
or
important. Concentrate on the business when it comes and forget it when it goes. 710. We must build a culture that depend on the Greatest Creator, the second home, and ourselves. Man is not to be depended on. Depending on man will inevitably breed the tragedy of life, and entail a series of quandary and afflictions. If you depend on other people, you will inevitably become the encumbrance and spiritual burden for yourself and
800 Values for New Era Human Being
other people, and you will inevitably become a slave and sacrifice of man and cannot live as your true self. 711. Man can follow his own inclinations, but cannot overstep the eight rules concerning the Greatest Creator, god and Buddha, parents, master or teacher, LIFE, science, facts, and human nature. Only if you revere the Greatest Creator, can you follow your own inclinations without breaking rules. Once you do not have the Greatest Creator in your mind, you might be unruly and do whatever you want to do. And you will harm yourself. Therefore, respect for the Greatest Creator will only be beneficial to you. The reverence for the Greatest Creator will not bring any harm to us, while irreverence for the Greatest Creator might spell disaster. 712. Be prepared to make unreserved confession any time and anywhere. 713. What shall man learn from flowers and nature? We shall learn from them such characteristics as: blooming at will, independent and act in its own way, self-reliance, harmonious coexistence, obscurity, frankness, living the present life, and unselfish dedication. 714. Meet when the predestined relation approaches, and separate when the predestined relation comes to an end. Do not feel upset at the approach and end of the predestined relations. 715. Speak out your mind and do not beat about the bushes. Say whatever is in your mind. People with such a character have a heart of children, are lovely, and are likely to enter the heaven. 716. The most selfish people in the world are those who keep on saying that they are living for other people. You take your own path, and build your own way, and all these have nothing to do with other people. If you keep telling yourself that “I have been doing all this for your sake�, you will have endless depression and may cause troubles to others. Those who
800 Values for New Era Human Being
live for others are most selfish. Everyone should be responsible for himself, live well, and live to the best of his nature, elegant demeanor. Only in this way, can we have an orderly, harmonious and warm society. Only people responsible for themselves will be responsible for themselves. Only people who live for themselves will respect others, consider others, and understand others. Only people who have themselves lived well will bring other people joyfulness, happiness, freedom and blessing. To benefit others, man must first have a rich life themselves. If man is to do evils, then he can first live for other people. 717. On the road of life and LIFE, we shall collect what duly belongs to us. We should not covet what is not ours. Everything belongs to the Greatest Creator, demand too much is greedy. In particular, we should not engage in comparison with others. Comparison also amounts to greed or even crime. Claim what is duly yours, and let the Greatest Creator decide all the rest and let Tao make arrangement of the rest. Do not compare with others, do not rely on others, and walk your own way. In this way, you can step on the real road of life and LIFE. 718. Be sure not to harbor any idea that you may be a composer, director, and actor of anything all by yourself, and do not think that you can be responsible to create all the real form all yourself. It is permissible to harbor such an idea occasionally. But if you keep on doing, you may go astray too far to be redeemable. 719. An ordinary man with an ordinary life, a simple life and a calm heart—all begins with the ordinary, and only the ordinary is real and genuine. As long as you keep an ordinary heart, be an ordinary person, and do ordinary things, you have planted your feet on the solid rock, and you can keep the peace of mind, enjoy a refreshed spirit, have nothing to be afraid of, and have a sound and healthy body.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
720. Throw away your fantasy (revery), place yourself on the ordinary position, accumulate little by little, pursue enlightenment step by step, feel happy and pleased any moment, be always friendly with people, neither give up the pleasure of life, nor abandon the pursuit of the ideal realm—only in this way can you achieve consummation. 721. Do not blindly believe what others say about what is good and what is bad. You must conduct investigation and use your own feeling. 722. It is criminal to plunder, steal and defraud other people’s property, for whatever reason and in whatever way. We should respect the capitalists. 723. Labor and creation is the source of happiness. Real happiness lies in the unselfish labor and creation. 724. Everything shall be handled on the principle of least resistance. 725. Chase after the sun and we will be away from darkness. 726. What you contribute and what you get in return are always equivalent. 727. Frank and honest relations require the least cost to maintain. 728. Some people are actually dead when they are still living, some people still live on although they are dead. Some people have made a lot of money, but at the cost of their life; while others have given away their money, but have been rewarded with a long life. If you cast yourself off, you may find yourself; if you do everything for yourself, you may lose yourself. The more you possess, the more you will lose. The more you create and contribute, the more you will get. 729. The first step to rejuvenescence is to strive to make yourself unsophisticated, real, natural, and follow your true nature.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
730. Conducting oneself naturally is the greatest beauty. The Way of the Greatest Creator is the Way of nature. Man can step on road of the Greatest Creator if he can model after nature, follow nature, take the course of nature, love nature, and be natural. Man has deviated from the Way of the Greatest Creator if he has any hypocrisy, affectedness, deliberate ornamentation, breach of nature, and man-made restriction. Conducting oneself naturally is the greatest beauty. Falsity and hypocrisy is ugly. 731. We should be established in society with our cultured nature. If a person is deficient in the three treasures of soul, spirit, and material, he can not be established in the world and can only be a slave, a flunky, and drag out an ignoble existence. Anyone who is not cultured and yet hopes to obtain happiness with the help of external factors will not be able to establish himself in the world. They are certain to spend their life in anxiety and fear, suffering and struggle, hope and desperation. Their life will certainly be a tragedy. 732. Either you listen to me or I listen to you, or we each do our own way. We need not spend our precious time and energy on negotiation and discussion. If you listen to me, I will be responsible for everything, for all losses and offence. If I listen to you, you will be responsible for everything, for all losses and offences. Any person who likes consultation and discussion does not have his own idea, lacks self-confidence, and is unwilling to undertake responsibility. He wants to get profit if something is successfully concluded and shift responsibility on others when the thing has failed. 733. A clean person will not be spurned. That is to say that when all oneself is perfect, no one would disparage and spurn you. The dirtier a place is, the more likely it will be spitted piled with garbage. The cleaner
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and tidier a place is, the more likely it will be for people to restrain from such acts and maintain its cleanness and tidiness. 734. There is no wronged man or soul in the world. (1). The Greatest Creator is equitable and has never treated anyone unjustly; (2). The operation of Tao is meticulous and accurate, “The net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through”; (3). The punishment and reward are meted out accurately by Karma, “There is no gate to fortune and misfortune, and you have yourself caused fortune or misfortune”. (4). Reality is the projection of one’s own consciousness; (5). We should understand that what we are receiving in this life is a result of what we did in the previous life and what we are doing now will decide what we can receive in the future life; (6). The Law of Attraction tells us that those with the same frequency will resonate with each other, birds of a feather flock together, those with the same idea are attracted to each other, and those in the same boat will share weal and woe; (7). The whole of the universe depends on the mind and all rules depends on cognition; (8). The sum of negative and positive energies is zero, the loss and gain is kept in balance, you will gain something when you lose something, and you will lose something when you gain something. 735. A person who complicates a simple thing is simple-minded; a person who simplifies complicate matter is wise.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
736. The simpler a thing is, the more attention we should pay to it. The closer you are to someone, the more likely it will be the misery of parting. 737. It is the arrangement of the Greatest Creator to make everyone live according to their full nature. It is the greatest selfishness and cruelty and deviation of the Way of the Greatest Creator to oppress and bereave other people’s nature or force others to live according to one’s own will. As long as everyone lives for himself, everything will be in great order, everyone will fully exhibit their elegant demeanor, and will have a greatly relaxed life. If everyone does not live for themselves but for others, they will have a very exhausting life. They will be greatly fatigued, but the people whom they serve will feel even more tired. 738. The best way to pay back one’s debt and finish one’s worldly relations is to give alms with no form residing in one’s mind and accumulate a great wealth of merits and virtues. As long as you build up more wealth in the “bank of Tao”, Tao will automatically take charge to pay back your debts. 739. Predestined relation is a ball and chain you will have encounter in the end, which is an indication of the service or favor you have received but yet have not been repaid timely. Predestined relation may also be a hinge that indicates the favors you have given others and are to be taken back. Predestined relations lay the foundation for the direction of life and LIFE. 740. Form arises in the mind, realm is created in the mind, and the ingenious application all depends on the mind. The lack of cultivation in one’s preexistence will give birth to sufferings for this life. The current plight we are experiencing is not imposed by other people, instead it has
800 Values for New Era Human Being
been caused by ourselves. “One reap as he has sown”. We have no one but ourselves to blame. 741. If one wants to survive, he must escape from the crowd that has contracted the illness of soul before the occurrence of the purification. He should not hope to survive after the great purification has begun. Because once the great purification has begun, the net of heaven have larges meshes but it leaves nothing through. By then it would be too late to escape. 742. “Can you tell me what love is, why is it so powerful that it can make people give their life for it?” It is the symbol of fatuity to sacrifice one life for love. Love is an energy supplied to our soul. To give one’s life for energy is putting the cart before the horse, and extreme fatuity. Love is only an energy, like money. To die for the sake of money is the reversal of the correct values on life and LIFE. 743. Do not anticipate results, instead attach importance to the process. A good process yields good results. Keep a cheerful attitude and you will feel happy all the time. If you keep a pessimistic attitude, you will always feel miserable. Both good and bad can last forever. 744. If you are obdurate in your own opinions, you will be a rotten wood incapable of being carved into a great artwork even if you can hang on to a miserable existence. The greatest obstacle to overcome is obdurately sticking to one’s own opinions. Afflictions and dread come from the obdurate consciousness. 745. A mentally and spiritually healthy and civilized man does not seek to dominate over others, neither does he impose restriction over others, nor does he allow others to restrict his own freedom. A spiritually sound
800 Values for New Era Human Being
person of great sight never joins any political party, religious organizations, and other different institutions. 746. The success of direction and goal of progress will rely on the continuous enthusiasm after they have been determined by wisdom. Without the unselfish enthusiasm, it would be absolutely difficult to experience the vastness and wonder of life. 747. It is because the sage does not live for his self that his self is realized. The more unselfish I am, the more likely my self will be realized. The more selfish I am, the more difficult it will be to have my true self and the easier it will be to lose my self. 748. One’s words and behavior should be appropriately artistic. Even flirtation should be done in an implicit manner. It should not be outspoken and vulgar. It should not be done at random. You should make it appropriate to the occasion and people. 749. Lifechanyuan advocates contribution instead of demand, because we are to accumulate our merits and virtues and get rid of the gravitation of life and finally go to the Celestial Islands Continent. We are people who devote our heart and soul to the initiation of the era of Lifechanyuan. We play an exemplary role for mankind, and all good qualities shall be embodies by us. 750. Those who keep their excellence in every little thing they do will finally be generously rewarded; while those who slack off in whatever they do will never free themselves. 751. You will get even more if you do not contend; you will realize your wish if you do not purposeful set out to achieve it.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
752. Man can control his life and death. If necessary, he can control his life and death through his consciousness. But before one chooses death, he must have a clear idea of the place he is going to. When you have completely understood your place in heaven and have paid all your debts in the human world, then you have settled the worldly relations and have obtained a clean conscience, and at this time you can decide your time to leave the human world. 753. If you conceal your evil, your evil will be serious, if you flaunt you benevolence, it will be trifle. Buddha also tells us that we should not feel proud of the merits and virtues we have accumulated, and Jesus Christ has told us in definite terms that we should not make a fanfare of the good deeds we have done and there is no need to tell others. 754. If you have yourself and only yourself in your mind, you cannot see your real self; when you give up the self, you can see the real self. Therefore the greatest obstacle to the road of celestial being and Buddha is the self. 755. You can gain from what you have given up. Only if you are willing to give up, can you get something. Only if you have given up hope on something, can you get hope for something else. There would be no gain without giving up. There would be no birth without death, there would be no death without birth. Too great a nostalgia for and too deep an infatuation with life and the human world will make one forget the ultimate goal of life. 756. Those who are easily annoyed often take small matters too seriously, while those who are always happy and pleasant do not care for small matters. Affairs of the family, the state and the world are all small matters, so do not take them seriously. While the affairs of celestial beings,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Buddha, and the Greatest Creator are all serious matters, so take them seriously. 757. The best way to get rid of one’s troubles is to view life as a game. Life is a dream. Do not be too perseverant and serious. Take everything as a game. If it is full of fun, let’s play it; if it is boring, let’s forget it. No one takes responsibility for me and I take no responsibility for others. 758. Find the fulcrum. As long as we follow the rule of leverage, we can get the maximum perfect nonmaterial structure in the shortest time possible and at the least cost. So we must find the fulcrum. Once we have found the best fulcrum, we maneuver a weight of a thousand kilograms with a force of only 200 grams, and we can fairly easily make our way from the human world to the Celestial Islands Continent of Elysium World. 759. Our own fate is in our own hands, and no one else can take the charge. “A couple is like the birds sharing the same forest, but when disaster strikes they may flee for their own life in different directions”. However deep the conjugal love may be, it cannot take the place of us as individuals, even the relations of parents and children cannot do everything for us. Therefore everyone should maintain his own way of cultivation. 760. Everything has its use, its wonder, and strength. If we put to use its use, wonder and strength, nothing will be wasted. For a thing, we shall make the most of its use, wonder and strength; for a person, we should also make the most of his use, wonder and strength. In this way, waste can be minimized and the function can be maximized. If a person has led a mediocre life and has achieved nothing, it does not mean that he has no gifts; instead it means that his gift has not been fully utilized and his use,
800 Values for New Era Human Being
wonder and strength have not been brought into full play, or has been applied to the wrong areas. 761. It is vital that we should choose a proper frame of reference. If the wrong frame of reference is chosen, we can not escape from the 36 Eight-diagram array and we can never achieve our goal, no matter how madly we may rush about, even if we turn heaven upside down. We should put a lot effort on the choice of the frame of reference. “The time spent sharpening one’s axe will shorten your time in wood cutting”. Do not make a rush; first have a clear understanding of your direction and destination. 762. No far sight exists in oddity, and moral integrity does not last very long in solitary journey. You must find people with the same aspiration, with whom you have the same frequency and enjoy resonance in soul. You must avoid loneliness and solitude. A journey in the company of many people is better than a solitary trip. One person’s happiness is not happiness, and the happiness of many people is the real happiness. 763. Man should live according to the rules of the earth, the earth should run according to the rules of the solar system and the Milky Way galaxy, the solar system and the Milky Way galaxy shall run according to the principle of Tao, and Tao shall run according to the rule of nature. 764. Continuous death and continuous birth—this is the significance of life; continuous creation and continuous creation—this is the meaning of life. This is the new thinking and the new life, the wise man’s philosophy of life, the sage’s outlook on the world, the Buddha’s and god’s view on life, and the Greatest Creator’s view on the universe. 765. Desperation is created by man’s own indefinite consciousness and by man’s collective consciousness and individual consciousness. To step
800 Values for New Era Human Being
out desperation, everyone should start from themselves. Desperation is not the original intention of the Greatest Creator; gods, Buddha, celestial beings and sages have not created desperation, either. 766. Reality is material, illusion is nonmaterial. Material world is the form of the nonmaterial world, nonmaterial world is the root of the material world. Everything in reality is visionary, just like dew and electricity. Everything illusive is real, and the real essence is contained in them, and the boundless universe comes from them. Reality comes from illusion and returns to illusion. Illusion comes from reality and changes into reality. 767. Once we have understood the dialectical relationship between reality and illusion, we should not be lost in reality, we should not be worried by things in reality, we should not contend with others, we should not possess and occupy things, we should not persevere in anything, we should not stick to certain things, we should not be worried about anything or afraid of anything. Instead we need only view reality as the stage for games. We need only play the games to get satisfaction. As long as we have obtained happiness, joyfulness, freedom, and blessing, we will have a successful life, a wise life and a rich life. 768. The lamp should be placed on the light stand for illumination, flowers shall emit their fragrance at the opportune time, man shall lose no time in creation. Once lost, an opportunity will never arise again. Life is short, we should not be passive and take a wait-and-see attitude. We should not hesitate and stray. The time lost can never be back. The missed opportunity will never come again. Every day is a component of LIFE. We should not idle away the precious time of LIFE with emptiness.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
769. We should seek joy and happiness. Only happy people can create happiness, and only people with a happy life know how to cherish life and LIFE. In terms of oneself, other people and the society, the pursuit of happiness and Joy of life is the right endowed to us by the Greatest Creator and also one of the goals of Lifechanyuan. 770. Only happy people know how to lead other people to happiness. Unhappy people never know where the gate of happiness is. This is like the meaning of life. Only successful businessman knows how to make money. 771. The real faith is reflected in our daily life. If we have failed to reflect the connotation of faith in our daily life and practice, then our faith will be false faith, and with false faith we cannot enter heaven. 772. One principle we should adhere to: we should try our best to aim at matter not man. We should be serious and strict in matter. We must be gentle to people. We should not randomly apply rules and principles to people, and we should not randomly punish others. We should always remember that no one is perfect and everyone is likely to make mistakes. We should give everyone who has made mistakes enough time to repent, correct, and sublime. We must forgive people for their mistakes. We should always bear in mind that every Chanyuan celestial is our sister, brother, kin, and lover instead of our competitor or opponent. 773. We should constantly demolish the conventional thinking, the tradition that shackles human nature, the old shell and cocoon that have once offered us protection, the corrupted morality that hinders freedom, and all fetters that block our enjoyment of happiness and pleasure of life. 774. Open the windows and the sunlight and fresh air will come in. Take a broad view and you will see faraway mountains fresh and green. If
800 Values for New Era Human Being
everyone is frank and outspoken, the haze will scatter and the sky will clear up. And the rotten material will be transformed into a magic. Then we will build ideal environment and beautiful future, we can set good example for mankind and we can finally realize our most beautiful ideals. 775. We should have a feeling of gratitude for everything. Let’s have a relaxed body and do not complain about poverty, let’s have a peaceful mind and do not complain about other people, let’s have a serene spirit and do not complain about the Greatest Creator, and let’s keep a good shape and do not envy the rich. Let’s cautiously stick to our duty, and be content with our destiny. The way of the Greatest Creator is equitable and thus will not shower all the strengths and favors on one person. The nature breeds life, makes life grow, the nature deals out reward and punishment. The nature will reap what it has sown. Everything is accomplished and destroyed by Tao. “Sow as one has sown”, “The net of heaven has large meshes but it lets nothing through”. If we feel gratitude in everything, you will be rewarded with blessing. Let’s cherish the present time. If we are insatiably greedy, if we have bellyful of complaints, if we do not cherish the good fortune we are enjoying, and if we are shortsighted and if we haggle over every ounce, we are nothing more than a mortal, we can never have the chance of becoming a celestial being or Buddha. 776. Aspiration, thinking and action are the trio of human life. We should have an aspiration for the kind of person we want to be, we should think over how we can become the person we want ourselves to become, and action is our progress toward the goal. We have set up the goal, and we have thought over our goal. Then if we do not take actions, our goal will just come to nothing. Many things in life will only amount to empty talk if no actions are taken.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
777. How can we achieve the ideal we have in mind? First, we must grasp the tenet, namely the reverence for the Greatest Creator, LIFE, and nature and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator, which is the prerequisite for the accomplishment of one’s wish. Next, we should eliminate the mind for dominance, contention, comparison, jealousy, complaint, and occupancy, and try our best to think out of form of ego, other people, all beings, age, dharma, and non-dharma, let our mind abide nowhere, and let ourselves and nature be one. And then we should understand that the process of life is only a game after another and we should know how to play game well. 778. All has been created, heaven was created, and hell was also created, and the future of every LIFE is created by the LIFE itself. “One reaps as he has sown, the net of heaven has large meshes, but it lets nothing through”. Any idea of a parasite, any desire for luck, any speculation, and any deceit and trickery will be a case of “smart people suffering the bad consequences of their smartness”. And in this way one will be his own grave-digger. 779. Reap as you have sown. There is not one wronged person. Therefore, do not lade yourself with the misery and suffering of other people, including your kinsman. Likewise, do not make other people (including our kinsman) laden with your own misery and afflictions. 780. The value of Lifechanyuan: Be responsible - for the Greatest Creator and for yourself. In the world there is no one who lives completely for others. Even the greatest Jesus and Buddha Sakyamuni live not for others but for themselves. Objectively you live for others but subjectively for yourself. You live to accomplish yourself and fulfill your own mission.
800 Values for New Era Human Being
781. Whether you can live in the era of Lifechanyuan or the realm of the Greatest Creator depends not on your status, your power, property, position, wisdom, fame, knowledge, and even less on whether you have magical power, witchery, influence, or theurgy, but on whether you have possessed the pure soul. 782. In Lifechanyuan we act according to the holographic thinking. In Lifechanyuan there exists no contention, struggle, competition, and loss or win. We take things as they are, we act according to the call of our nature, we make transformation according to the predestined relations, we operate in accordance with opportunities, and we exist by following nature. 783. “We follow rules instead of a certain person”—this is a wise idea, which can prevent the arbitrariness of any individual and prevent the collective from being led astray by an individual. However, the person in “we follow rules instead of a certain person” refers to the leaders of the second, third generation and even N generation, for example the leaders in the Christianity and Buddhism. In the face of the leaders of the second generation and all successive generations, the populace shall “follow rules instead of a certain person”, otherwise the deviation of the leaders of the second generation, third generation and N generation in understanding may cause the deviation from the rules and make the populace further and further away from the goal. Let’s have an analysis of “following rules instead of a certain person”. Such principle shall apply not to the founder, but to the leaders of the second, third and N generations. 784. Holographic thinking does not distinguish between justice and evil, and there exists no war between justice and evil. Justice is the lack of war, and evil is the existence of war. Those who do not have the Greatest
800 Values for New Era Human Being
Creator in mind, do not understand the operation mechanism of Tao, and do not respect life all like war. 785. The signs of “Acquisition of Chanyuan Life” or of “the death of man’s life and the acquisition of celestial being’s life”: 1. Don’t show an extreme longing for the human world, but instead look forward to the Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Celestial Islands Continent; 2. No longer afraid of death but filled with inner peace; 3. Take things as they are, act according to the call of our nature, make transformation according to the predestined relations, and operate in accordance with opportunities, and no longer be obdurate and perseverant; 4. No longer worried about food, clothes, shelter, transport, birth, old age, illness and death, reach the state of having nothing yet possessing everything; 5. Indifferent family relationship and no longer overly attached to somebody emotionally; 6. Understand sex fully, look forward to the wonderful life of celestial being, not afraid of sex life, no longer guilty of or puzzled by sex life; 7. Just enjoy life no matter where we are and what we are doing; 8. Consciousness often soars in heaven. 786. Everything, object and phenomenon operates in the programme. The programmes governing the operation of everything, object and phenomenon in the universe are designed by the Greatest Creator. Generally the master programme cannot be changed, subprogram, however are changeable. For example, the essence of LIFE is not changeable, but the direction of LIFE can be changed. Once the program is started, it will operate automatically, just like an egg, which will automatically develop and grow once it is fertilized. So you need not worry. Feed a child with food every day, and he will grow. If you sow the seeds in the soil in spring, it will automatically germinate, grow, bloom
800 Values for New Era Human Being
and bear fruit. This is the function of the programmes and this is also the power of programmes. 787. Each cause sowed will inevitably give rise to a result. This is the programme. We will only have to wait for some time for the fruit to ripen. Some fruit will mature very quickly. Some cause will bear fruit after a longer lapse of time. While still other causes will take even longer to bear fruit. 788. The signs of cleverness: 1. Always stick to “uniformity”, be consistent with the great boss, and share the same frequency with the core figure; 2. Always maintain friendship with excellent and successful people, do not have close relationship with the stupid persons and do not associate with them too often; 3. Witty and flexible, do not stick dogmatically to teachings and tenets, and orient all one’s actions to the realization of the ultimate goal; 4. Never annoy those who are of great value to you; 5. Do not argue with others, only march firmly towards one’s goal; 6. Diligent, meticulous, smart and cautious; 7. Have independent consciousness, have a clear understanding of what is primary and what is secondary and what should take precedence, do not follow the trend, and do not be affected by environment and feelings; 8. Accommodating, holographic, offensive to no one unless in a last resort, be kind to others, and do not harm life. 789. Lifechanyuan emphasizes “Dharma has no set rules and is capable of endless changes”. Christianity also cautions us that do not believe anyone who says, “Christ is here or Christ is there”. In Lifechanyuan everything is alive. If we stick to a certain rule or all rules, then we are dead. 790. Do not take others as a trash can for your emotion. Negative, passive, and pessimistic feelings are garbage of soul. You should clean away these
800 Values for New Era Human Being
piles of garbage, and should not pour out to others. Do not take others as the trash can where you can dump your emotional garbage, because this is cruel to others. Chanyuan celestials are to create beautiful future, and people who create beautiful future are all healthy physically and spiritually. A person who cannot solve even his own difficulty and suffering will not be able to shoulder the arduous task of creating the beautiful future for mankind. 791. “When the channel is unobstructed, one will not feel pain, but when it is obstructed, one will feel the pain�. This principle applies not only to physiology, but also to spirit and soul. When you cannot understand something, the obstruction will cause worry, pain, irritation and bewilderment. 792. We are liable to hurt because we are not perfect and are too persistent in the transient. As long as we are closer and closer to perfection and are rich inside, then external factors will be difficult to hurt us. At such time, we are not far from the attainment of celestial being and Buddha and the entrance into the realm of freedom and the Elysium world. 793. The eight paths to be cultured: (1). Seek the Greatest Creator, understand the Greatest Creator, believe in the Greatest Creator, revere the Greatest Creator, rely on the Greatest Creator and follow the Way of the Greatest Creator; (2). Listen to the teachings of Jesus Christ, Buddha Sakyamuni, the immortal Lao Tzu, prophet Mohammed, sages and saints of various generations; (3). Read more exquisite essays, poetry, and listen to more melodious rhythms and songs;
800 Values for New Era Human Being
(4). Exert your strengths, master a technique for survival or skill, commit to one’s profession, take responsibility, and pursue first class quality; (5). Work hard; (6). Do not miss any opportunity to fully exhibit in your words and deeds your sincerity, kindness, beauty, love, faith, and honesty; (7). Always keep a humble and modest attitude; (8). Be sure to exhibit your value, you should be useful to society and other people, and should not care for personal gain and loss. 794. The purpose of enlightenment is to be extricated from trouble and abyss of misery, walk out of the realm of necessity, and reach directly the other shore. The best shortcut for enlightenment—take the vehicle created by Buddha Sakyamuni, navigate along the course guided by Jesus Christ, follow the route guided by Deiform Buddha, and march toward the realm of Buddha and the Greatest Creator—the Elysium world. 795. When we enter the situational thinking of everything, every object and every phenomenon in the universe existing there and then, we can find nothing wrong. From the perspective of the holographic thinking, there is nothing wrong with what one thinks in mind, what one says, and what one does. 796. There is no one who is wrong. There is no redundant and valueless thing in the universe. There is no redundant and useless person in mankind. Everything and every person is playing its own role and is thinking, saying and doing something that he himself thinks is the most correct and reasonable. 797. The ordered consciousness creates the orderly world, and the beautiful soul creates the beautiful life. If you mind is filled with the
800 Values for New Era Human Being
excrement of ox, then you will see feces of ox everywhere. If you have Buddha in mind, you can see Buddha everywhere. There is nothing wrong with the world, the wrong lies in us. Even if the world is filled with ugliness and evils, we preserve our moral integrity and strive to be angels; even if others are hypocritical and tricky, we will display our genuineness, kindness, virtue, love, faith and honesty; we do not complain, grumble, expose the darkness of society, and find fault with others. We keep our duties and are content with our fate. We do not reach for what is beyond our grasp, we do not harbor great ambition. We remain ordinary. We do not pursue fame, gain, status, and power, instead we only seek happiness, joyfulness, freedom, and blessing. We do not want to possess anything in the human world. We only long for the heaven—Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Celestial Islands Continent of Elysium World. 798. Lifechanyuan is the last course for the current human world. Everyone should seize time to learn this last course if he wants to have a beautiful future. If they put off the learning, it might be too late. Money, power, position, fame, and beautiful woman cannot save you. Only the last course can rescue you from the sea of misery and afflictions. You will not suffer any losses by accepting and following the ideas of Lifechanyuan, instead you can get infinite benefits. If you do not accept the ideas of Lifechanyuan, you may commit an irremediable mistake. You can make a calculation. This is costless business. You have nothing to lose, yet you have a lot to gain. Lifechanyuan will guide people who have entered Lifechanyuan to survive the catastrophe around the year 2013 and lead them into the era of Lifechanyuan. A great transformation has been unveiled. We will either lead in the transformation, or follow it
800 Values for New Era Human Being
closely, or get eliminated. There is not a fourth way for us to choose from. 799. A king can be a chancellor one day. Worldly affairs are endlessly changing like the chess games. Get rid of your worldly desire and strive to become the Chanyuan people of the new era! 800. Eight Hundred values For New Era Human Being is an open system. Time and space change ceaselessly. New thought, new idea, and new methods emerge endlessly. These eight hundred values are subject to constant updating and perfection. With the development of the era, what should be deleted will be deleted, and what should be added will be added. We shall never follow the beaten track and old routine and we shall not obdurately stick to obsolete ideas, and we shall never impose a limitation. Website of Lifechanyuan —“New OASIS FOR LIFE”
