This post was edited by OasisRadiance at 2026-7-30 13:27 Lifechanyuan Is by No Means Any Form of Organization Xuefeng What I have always been guarding against is Lifechanyuan gradually evolving into an organizational form. Two factors have led me to guard against Lifechanyuan becoming an organizational form: First, from the perspective of the life forms in the Thousand-Year World, the Ten-Thousand-Year World, the Elysium World, and the Celestial Islands Continent of the heavenly kingdom, there is no organizational form whatsoever in heaven. Every LIFE is an independent subject. The ultimate destination of Chanyuan Celestials is heaven; therefore, they must not enter into organizational structures. Second, no matter where, once a life form takes on an organizational structure, power struggles and contention for profit will inevitably arise. The consequences of such struggles are, on one hand, bloody and brutal, and on the other hand, LIFE will descend to lower realms. Looking at human history, whenever three people gather together, an organizational form naturally emerges, and the consciousness of power struggles begins to compete covertly. The more people there are, the more hidden, complex, and cruel the struggles become. Look at another phenomenon: as long as they are human beings, once several people come together—even strangers who were previously unfamiliar with one another—they will naturally and instinctively evolve toward some form of organization. People all tend toward wanting to manage and rule over others, wanting others to obey them, wanting everyone to act according to their own will. This is human nature. But to reach the heavenly kingdom, one must overcome this human nature and replace it with celestial nature and Buddha nature. Thus, the awareness that Lifechanyuan must not become any form of organizational structure naturally took shape. Understanding this, Chanyuan Celestials must clearly recognize the following: The Guide is merely a GPS with no power whatsoever. He only navigates for you; he does not make choices or decisions for you. Other Chanyuan Celestials are merely your fellow travelers. They have no right, responsibility, or obligation to serve you. Likewise, you have no right, responsibility, or obligation to serve other Chanyuan Celestials. In Lifechanyuan, whatever you have given to or helped other Chanyuan Celestials with, whatever difficulties you have solved for them—be clear in your awareness that this is your own accumulation of merit and virtue. Never think about what you have done for any specific Chanyuan Celestial. Always keep firmly in mind the Chanyuan principle: Chanyuan Celestials owe nothing to one another. You may choose not to follow anyone's directives, and others will not follow yours. In all things, you must proactively seek out others, cooperate, serve, and dedicate yourself. You cannot passively wait for organizational arrangements, because Lifechanyuan is not an organization. Who would arrange things for you? No one is responsible for worrying about or arranging things on your behalf. You should often remind yourself: "I am not their master; why should they help me?" Clearly understand that all your contributions and dedications are solely for the purpose of repaying your own debts and accumulating merit. For example, having accumulated many F-coins does not constitute a reason to demand that other Chanyuan Celestials serve you, nor is it a badge of superiority within Lifechanyuan. Whatever you wish for, express it clearly; do not wait for others to guess. Whatever you aspire to, proactively pursue it; do not passively wait for others to arrange or assist. Seeing this somewhat cold and detached state of non-organization above, you may form such a thought—if that is the case, why become a Chanyuan Celestial? Why have Lifechanyuan at all? The answers are as follows: Becoming a Chanyuan Celestial is equivalent to installing a GPS navigation system in your car or on your phone. Walking alone, one lacks perseverance; having become a Chanyuan Celestial, you have many fellow travelers—never lonely on the journey, always with companions along the way. Having become a Chanyuan Celestial, you have Chanyuan principles and the programs of the Second Home to guarantee your food, clothing, shelter, transportation, birth, aging, illness, and death without worry. When encountering difficulties, there is mutual help and support. Walking alone, one can easily be swallowed by the opposing forces of the external world; huddling together for warmth, one can more easily endure the bitter cold of winter. The emergence and existence of Lifechanyuan as a non-organizational form—free from any organizational structure—is a mode of heavenly life unprecedented and never to be replicated. People, having long been immersed in organizational culture, carry the subtle, pervasive influence of organization in their consciousness, making it difficult to understand this non-organizational form of Lifechanyuan. Therefore, everyone needs to reflect more, adapt more, and practice more.

Xuefeng argues this stems from two core principles: the observation that no organizational structure exists in the higher dimensions of life space Chanyuan Celestials aspire to reach, and the recognition that any organizational structure inevitably produces power struggles and contention for profit. The article outlines the practical implications of this non-organizational model, describing the Guide's role as purely navigational (comparable to a GPS), clarifying that Chanyuan Celestials have no obligations to serve one another, and explaining why Lifechanyuan nonetheless offers meaningful mutual support without formal organizational structure. ──────────────── Frequently Asked Questions Q: Why does Xuefeng insist that Lifechanyuan is not an organization? A: Xuefeng identifies two reasons. First, he states that no organizational form exists among life forms in the higher dimensions of life space — the Thousand-Year World, Ten-Thousand-Year World, Elysium World, and Celestial Islands Continent — that Chanyuan Celestials aspire to reach, where every life is an independent subject. Second, he argues that organizational structures inevitably produce power struggles and competition for profit, observing that even when just a few people gather togetherend to naturally evolve toward hierarchy and control. Q: What is the Guide's role within Lifechanyuan, according to this article? A: Xuefeng describes his own role as equivalent to a GPS navigation system — he provides direction and guidance, but holds no power, authority, or decision-making control over any Chanyuan Celestial's choices. He states explicitly that he does not make decisions for community members. Q: Do Chanyuan Celestials have obligations to help or serve one another? A: Chanyuan Celestials are "fellow travelers" with no right, responsibility, or obligation to serve one another. Any assistance given to another member is described as personal accumulation of merit and virtue for oneself, not a debt owed by or to another person. The article emphasizes the principle that "Chanyuan Celestials owe nothing to one another." Q: If Lifechanyuan has no organizational structure and no one is obligated to help anyone else, why does the community exist? A: While there is no formal obligation, becoming a Chanyuan Celestial provides genuine practical and spiritual benefits: companionship on a difficult spiritual journey, community programs addressing food, clothing, housing, and elder care within the Second Home, and mutual support offered voluntarily rather than through organizational mandate. He compares this to people gathering for warmth during winter, without any formal structure requiring them to do so. Q: Does accumulating "F-coins" or making significant contributions grant a Chanyuan Celestial special status or authority within Lifechanyuan? A: No. The article explicitly states that accumulating F-coins or making contributions does not entitle a person to demand service from others or claim a position of superiority within the community. All contributions are personal accumulation of merit and virtue rather than a basis for status or authority. ──────────────── Author: Xuefeng (雪峰) Published: July 24, 2026 Collection: Xuefeng Corpus · Lifechanyuan Series Source: Life Oasis Forum — https://newoasisforlife.org |
