I. Reflections on Desire and Quality

Desires in life are as natural as drinking water.As long as I still possess this body, there will inevitably be the needs for breathing, eating, sleeping, affection, and sexuality.They are the instincts of life, the rhythm of existence.

Yet the difference between quantity and quality is like the difference between a budget inn and a five-star hotel. Both can meet the basic needs: sleeping, bathing, using the toilet, even air conditioning. But the experience and energy are worlds apart. One is merely a shelter from wind and rain, while the other allows the soul to unfold and the body to rejoice.

It is the same with drinking water: filtered water versus the sweetness of a mountain spring. The former quenches thirst, while the latter nourishes the soul. From this, I deeply realize: quantity is important, but quality is the true elevation of LIFE. If I must choose between the two, I would rather choose quality.

I remember once, a lover confronted me directly:
“How many lovers do you have? Do you truly have a heart? Are you just playing? Do you know that since childhood we were taught to be loyal to our partner? If not loyal, then one is unclean, a dirty person.”

His gaze was stern, his words like blades piercing my heart. I was suddenly agitated, waves of grievance and anger surging within. For I had never been insincere, nor did I have time to ‘play.’ Every offering of mine was a devotion of LIFE, a burning of the soul.

Almost with fire I replied:
“You think I am playing? You think I have time to play with you? Do you imagine I am idle, playing sex games with you? What I give is my LIFE, my future, my whole true heart!”

Yet he remained silent. That silence was heavier than any words, as if denying my sincerity.

In that moment, I felt the shackles of worldly education—loyalty defined as one-to-one, and any transcendence condemned as impure. But in my heart, within Lifechanyuan’s Second Home, love is not possession but flow; not bondage but freedom.

II. Learning Love: From Desire to Devotion

On the journey of cultivation and communication, I gradually came to understand that true love is not merely possession or desire. It requires giving, patience, and resonance of the soul through genuine exchange. Love is a spiritual harmony, a mutual fulfillment. It is not bondage, but freedom; not domination, but respect.

Through practice in the Second Home, I have realized that encounters between members are not accidental, but the continuation of karmic ties from past lives into the present. Once, I did not believe in cause and effect; I thought love was simply the satisfaction of desire, an emotional dependence. Yet through repeated interactions and cultivation, I came to see: love cannot be explained by a single word. It is a profound experience, a union of souls.

I once envied those who had many lovers, thinking that having only one was too painful. But when the Tao arranged for me to meet my destined karmic connection, I finally understood: love is not easily obtained. It requires me to give, to communicate with sincerity.

Guide Xuefeng, in When You Have 100 Lovers You Must Become a Celestial Being, said:

“Love is a sentiment of selfless devotion; love is the dance of two souls in resonance; love is the noblest quality of humanity. But when love becomes selfish, it degenerates into possession, into constraint and tyranny over the other, increasingly turning into spiritual control and inner torment. Exclusivity is tyranny. If we are exclusive to one religion, we move toward tyranny; if exclusive to one political party, we move toward tyranny; if exclusive to one nation, we move toward tyranny. Likewise, if we are exclusive to one partner, we move toward tyranny.

Human society has long carried a mistaken value: believing that loving only one person is true love, while loving many is promiscuity. It is precisely this mistaken value that has caused humanity’s long-standing suffering and troubles.

Imagine, if you had two lovers, would your heart not be broader? You would not be trapped in one corner, becoming extreme and narrow. If you had ten lovers, your world would be larger still, for you would need to consider the happiness of ten people. If you had one hundred lovers, you could no longer manage them all. To make them happy, you would have to consider spiritual and soulful matters. Even if you had abundant energy and time to care for one person each day, each lover would only receive three days of your attention in a year. What then? If you truly wish well for your lovers, your own character must be elevated. You must strive with all your heart to care for each one. To make every lover happy, and yourself happy too, the only way is for all to become Buddhas or Celestial Beings.

If we could treat all parents as our own parents, all children as our own children, and all partners as our own lovers—what kind of world would this be?”

I once thought that quantity was all that mattered, with no concept of quality.Until, in moments of loneliness, someone was willing to accompany me; until, when I expressed my emotions truthfully—even with heavy anger—someone was willing to bear it, and still chose to communicate with me calmly.When I bluntly pointed out my displeasure at hypocrisy, false generosity, or even the flaunting of wealth, the other did not respond with coldness, but instead chose acceptance and tolerance.

For the first time, I was loved in such a way. For the first time, I realized that someone could, when I cried,
not tell me “don’t cry,” nor remain indifferent, but weep together with me. In that moment, I seemed to see the scene in the Bible, where Jesus wept for Mary’s sorrow—I understood then: even God can cry. And love can be like this: even without knowing what I have gone through, because I cry, the other cries too.

Once, I walked alone in the night, afraid, lonely, and desolate.Until I lifted my head and saw the bright moon,
and seemed to hear the Greatest Creator whispering:“My child, I am here. The moon is with you, I am always with you. Do not fear.”From then on, I began to no longer fear the night.

As I gradually adapted to the darkness,a gentle voice appeared:“The night has fallen. I can walk through the darkness; it’s all right.You may rest here with me.”At that moment, I felt a deep comfort.

I remember two lovers once did for me what my mother had done: one carefully washed the mud from my feet, another gently dried them. I was surprised, shy, yet filled with gratitude.I realized that my voice could be heard, my daily life could be shared, and through sharing and communication, we could discover more revelations together.

Some moments of companionship were not long, yet they were enough for me to cherish and be grateful.
Some scenery, though not as perfect as the Thousand-year World, already allowed me to feel the breath and tenderness of Heaven.And in these encounters, my flaws were revealed one by one. It was precisely through these revelations that I saw where I needed cultivation, and learned how to make myself better.

III. The Sublimation of Quantity and Quality

The idea of “having one hundred lovers” at first seemed to me nothing more than a game of numbers. Yet along the journey of cultivation, I gradually realized: quantity is only the surface, while the true essence lies in quality. If one merely chases numbers, one will be swept away by the flood of desire; only by elevating one’s own character can one encounter finer landscapes.

Each lover is a mirror, a scenery bestowed by the Greatest Creator. Some let me see my impatience and anger; some teach me patience and tolerance; some show me that in tears I am no longer alone. It is these mirrors that reveal my shortcomings; it is these landscapes that urge me to cultivate, so that I may become a more beautiful scenery myself.

Through repeated encounters, I discovered an unbreakable law: receiving and giving are always equal. If I long to be understood, I must first learn to understand; if I wish to be treated with gentleness, I must first become gentle myself.

Cultivation has gradually taught me: goals are the direction of LIFE, love is its driving force. Without a goal, LIFE is like a drifting boat, carried away by the current; with a goal, the soul has a lighthouse, able to find its way home amidst the waves.

My goal is to participate in building 256 branches of Lifechanyuan's Second Home across the world. This is the dream I am willing to devote my life to. Every experience of cultivation is a gathering of strength for this goal; every lesson in love is a seed sown for this vision.

Love warms me, goals strengthen me. Practice teaches me to transform turbulence into stillness, emotions into strength. Once, I was easily swept away by feelings, like waves crashing against the shore; now, I am learning to sit calmly amidst the storm, like a lake reflecting the moonlight.

I wish to continually sublimate through cultivation, letting love and goals walk together. May the scenery ahead grow ever more beautiful—not a mere piling up of numbers, but a blossoming of quality. May I become a clear spring, able both to quench thirst and to nourish; may I become a tranquil landscape, able both to soothe myself and to warm others.

IV. A Grateful Heart

Grateful for the blessings of the Greatest Creator,
who grant me the companionship of moonlight in my loneliness,
who grant me guidance when I am lost,
who grant me a gentle embrace when I weep.

Grateful for the arrangements of the Tao,
that allow me to encounter different landscapes in the flow of destiny,
that let me see my shortcomings along the journey of cultivation,
that teach me patience and devotion through repeated trials.

Grateful for the wisdom of Guide Xuefeng,
like a lighthouse illuminating the path ahead,
teaching me to find stillness amidst turbulence,
helping me to discover strength in confusion.

Grateful for the compassionate protection of Buddha Longpao,
grateful for the cultivation at the Second Home, Thailand Branch,
which lets me feel the breeze of Heaven in daily life,
which lets me hear more revelations in sharing and communication,
which lets me continually elevate my soul in the companionship of love and purpose.

May I always hold contentment,
never losing myself in desire.
May I always hold gratitude,
seeing every companionship as grace.
May I always hold cherishment,
cultivating myself into a more beautiful scenery,
and encountering ever finer landscapes.
