First of all, we can only rely on Lifechanyuan Values; personal relationship is undependable, even Xue Feng and anyone of Chanyuan celestials are undependable.
Only through Lifechanyuan Value can it be possible for Chanyuan Celestials to live a happy life. Any intension to rely on somebody would lead to final desperation.
So, "everyone's behaviors must be based on laws and disregard of people"; must be based on Lifechanyuan Value not on Xue Feng. We can reach our destination as long as Lifechanyuan Value exists, no mater what happens to Xue Feng.
So, we must live with people who can resonate with the Lifechanyuan Value; even if there are only three or four people who have mutual resonance in mind, they can live a happy life if they obey Lifechanyuan Value. Any ignorance of Lifechanyuan Value would incur troubles immediately. Personal promise is not something everlasting, they may turn hostile suddenly.
在如何生活的问题上禅院理念是如何说的呢?
Then, how to illustrate Lifechanyuan Value on the topic of living style?
1. Never fight against the government; never participate in any activity disobedient to the government; never fight against any powerful people in any field; never fight against the boss of the company; be reserved, not display gallantry in front of people; remember that we are the humblest celestials, we are the weakest men and we are the most useless people in the world.
2. Learn from the saints with virtue; follow the examples of the perfect men in history. Never play tricks or fish in trouble water but be frank, forthright, honest and sincere; never steal, rob, deceive, cheat, or defraud others even if at the edge of starving to death; never pick up the money on the ground which do not belong to you. It is only that "people do not take any articles left by the wayside" will it be possible for "doors are not bolted at night". "Coveting the nourishing from domestic animal will make nature lose, profiting at other people's expense will not get sufficient treatment from Tao." Your intentions should not offend heaven,earth and others. No hatred should exist in heart even you died of being wronged. The reason for such doing is for acquiring a peaceful mind and the natural greatness of the soul rather than for a good reputation. Be sure to keep in mind that: "Do not commit sins if you do not want to be punished" Have a clear consciousness, do not go astray.
3. Gradually reducing secular contacts, and getting touch with celestial beings. Be diligent in works, be penitent everyday. Not wasting time in beer and skittles, not showing off yourself. It is better to make people forget your existence. Try to be early in clearing of the secular debts and not to have new secular relationship but strive for getting to know more celestial beings. The journey in this world for us is to cut out any connection in the mortal world and make forward for the celestial archipelago for our forever enjoyment.
4. Conceive Lifechanyuan as the thousand-year world; as if nobody existing in the world except Chanyuan celestials and nothing is our business except chanyuan celestials. There is no marriage and no mutual possession for Chanyuan celestials; they may have sex freely because it is the real situation in the thousand-year world, but remember that all behavior should be natural and be based on real emotion instead of any plot. Keep in mind that "Indulging in a hobby saps one's will; indulging in a tricky saps one's morality".
5. Strive for the construction of Home without Marriage and Family and rest all our hopes on the Greatest Creator, self-improvement and self-refinement. Home without Marriage and Family would guarantee our survival and solution of our personal problems such as birth, death, illness and old age. Come to Home without Marriage and Family if being abandoned by society and secular family, being in desperation or disease, getting bankrupt, being hit by a disaster, being old, lonely; come to Home without Marriage and Family for the enjoyment of beautiful and free life. In short, if you want, you come. But there is a precondition here, you must be willing to give anything you have for the benefit of our brothers and sisters and lovers here, event at the cost of our own life. You must be willing to share what you have, at least you will not permit a single Chanyuan celestial staying hungry. You must be willing to go all out for saving any Chanyuan celestial from his/her troubles. And, there is still one more question for our consideration which is, anytime you are enjoying all of these, we should ask ourselves first: "What have I done for the construction of Lifechanyuan and Home without Marriage and Family? What have I devoted?" We must be very clear that the boys and girls of Lifechanyuan are not stupid at all-no insincere action or manner whatsoever is permit to return their honesty and kindness.
