Anywhere, Anytime, Fully Accounted

Xuefeng

“Anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.” This profound maxim was created by Daoyun Celestial of Lifechanyuan.

Life is an unpredictable journey, where any moment or place could be our final stop. Once we step outside, there’s no guarantee we’ll return. Our farewells to loved ones may indeed be final partings, leaving us no chance for one last word.

Therefore, we must live “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted,” so that we leave no room for regret or remorse.

A philosopher once said, “No one steps in the same river twice.” Everything is in constant flux, changing from one moment to the next. Buddhism teaches that “life is impermanent”; small changes accumulate, and major shifts can arise in an instant—like a tsunami, like an earthquake. “Last year on this day, within this gate, human faces and peach blossoms reflected in red.” And this year? “You’re nowhere to be found, while the peach blossoms still smile in the breeze.” This is why we must be “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.”

To live “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted” means sharing our deepest blessings and praise with our loved ones and those we respect and admire. When possible, perform small acts of kindness for them, live with a clear conscience, and fully enjoy each moment. Be ready to depart at any moment, as if the next instant may take us from this world to a new journey through the vast universe.

“Anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.” Earth is not LIFE’s permanent home. We’re here temporarily by fate, and ultimately, we’ll leave. There’s no need for excessive sadness or worry—nothing here is truly ours, except the nonmaterial structure of our own LIFE. Saying, “This is mine” or “That is mine” is an illusion and a source of suffering. In the end, we take nothing with us. In the end, we’re left with nothing but the spirit light of our awareness.

Life is but a dream; all is transient, like clouds. We must fully experience life, leaving no regrets! Anywhere, anytime, we should do our best, enjoy the wonder of life, and act and speak as the moment requires. The present moment is real—don’t sacrifice today for dreams of tomorrow.

Regret and remorse arise when we don’t live “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.” Many people realize this only in their final days, at the threshold of life and death. But by then, it’s too late. Don’t wait until the moment of farewell to make things right; instead, be “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.” In this way, we can close our eyes in peace, free of regret, at any time and place.

Imagine if Jesus suddenly appeared before us, asking us to leave this world right now. Are there things we can’t let go of? Debts unpaid? If so, it means we haven’t been “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted.” With this mindfulness, our spirit will remain at peace and our soul in joy, ready to follow Jesus to the Kingdom of Heaven.

“Anywhere, anytime, fully accounted” is a sublime life state; it aligns with Tao and the wisdom of prajna. It is the perfect realization on the Bodhi Path, a teaching of Buddha, a whisper of Zen, a divine revelation, a boat to cross the river of life, a remedy for the lost, a finger pointing to the moon, an angel’s call to board the ship.

“Anywhere, anytime, fully accounted” is when LIFE’s light shines brightly in the present moment, bringing great liberation and a grand LIFE. From this comes fearlessness and a life without regret. Remorse will no longer haunt us; our mind and body will resonate in pure joy, aligned with the celestial beings.

Practicing “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted” is an excellent path for self-improvement. Only with this mindset can our heart and soul remain peaceful. Only then can we fully enjoy life, always ready to embark on new journeys. With such inner freedom, why fear the collapse of the sky and earth, or magnetic pole reversals? Why let worldly clamor or stormy winds faze us? Even blade and fire cannot harm a single hair.

The gates to Heaven are always open to all—not only to Christians, Buddhists, and Muslims but to anyone. They are open to the good and the bad, the white, black, and yellow. Yet, finding Heaven’s gate is no simple feat, and entering it is even harder. Could we truly leave the human world for Heaven, anytime and anywhere? Imagine an earthly paradise here on Earth—could we abandon everything and walk forward without looking back? How many unfulfilled dreams weigh on us, how many attachments linger in our hearts, how many bonds still captivate us, how many obstacles hold us back? Saying it is easy; doing it is difficult.

So, from now on, let us strive to be “anywhere, anytime, fully accounted,” leaving no regrets or remorse. Then, we will be ready to set forth at any moment, embracing new LIFE and new experiences ahead.
