The Call of LIFE

Lao Tzu, the ancestral Celestial Being, warned humanity in the Tao Te Ching:
“When the people no longer fear authority, an unimaginable and uncontrollable power will descend upon them.”
Today, humanity fears nothing. People dare to say and do anything. They disregard not only the fate of nature—which is intertwined with their own—but even go so far as to profane and mock the Creator of the universe, as if everything on Earth appeared from nowhere, as if the Earth’s rotation, its speed, and its axial tilt all somehow came together by blind chance.
Human intelligence was meant to manage humanity and the Earth well. Yet, as more and more people turn their backs on the Greatest Creator, they gradually lose their heavenly nature (innate nature), turning the Earth into a chaotic mess. Worse still, people fight, hate, and destroy each other—even siblings, neighbors, colleagues, spouses, and parents and children engage in overt and covert battles. Modern human civilization is on a path to self-destruction. It is imperative that we reflect deeply on this so-called “civilization.”
To survive on this planet, humanity must meet at least three basic conditions:
Love the Greatest Creator;
Love nature;
Love humanity itself.
Without meeting these three conditions, humanity has no right to dwell in the home the Greatest Creator has created.
Does humanity today meet these prerequisites?
A single fallen leaf does not indicate that nature has gone awry, but when leaves begin to fall en masse, it is a sign that winter is near.
One person turning away from the Greatest Creator may not spell disaster for humanity. But when the majority turn away, we must recognize: humanity’s winter is at hand.
Humanity must be restrained. Humanity must be saved. Human “civilization” has already reached a critical point—one more step forward, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
It’s like a blind person who has already reached the edge of a cliff—one more step, and they will surely fall.
To save humanity’s reason, we must first inject a tranquilizer—calm the mind. Then we can point out what should and should not be done, which paths can and cannot be taken. Humanity must not follow its whims, doing whatever it pleases.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. We must give our all. If humanity can be saved, then let it be saved. If not, let us first save ourselves, and prepare to “return home” before the winter of humanity arrives.
Do you still remember the fate of the city of Sodom? Before Sodom and all its inhabitants were utterly destroyed, the angel said to Lot:
“Flee for your lives! Don’t look back. Escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away!”
You are the Lots of this generation. I say to you: Flee for your lives! Do not hesitate. Flee to Lifechanyuan, or you too will be destroyed.
But who exactly do I mean by “you”?
You may measure yourself against the following criteria to see if you are among those I refer to:
Whether or not you are a Christian or Buddhist, you feel an instinctive closeness and reliance on Jesus and Sakyamuni. Whether or not you’ve read the Bible or Buddhist scriptures, or know their teachings and lives, you feel a natural trust and hope in them. This feeling is not born of intellect or knowledge, but of a physiological response and a resonance in the soul.
You were likely born in a place of natural beauty—near rivers, springs, creeks, lakes, or the sea.
Deep inside, you always carry a strong hope for a better future. You have a vague sense that Earth is not your true home, that you come from another world, and you feel out of place in this one.
In your dreams, you have at least once dreamed of flying. If you flew above the clouds, you are a Celestial Being from the Elysium World. If you flew above treetops, you are a Celestial Being from the Ten-Thousand-Year World. If you flew just above people's heads, you are from the Thousand-Year World.
Entering Lifechanyuan gives you a sense of security, familiarity, and peace—a feeling like a weary traveler finally returning home.
You always remain humble, never thinking too highly of yourself.
You feel reverence and gratitude toward the Greatest Creator.
You love nature deeply and respect all LIFE. You never abuse or kill animals, and even if you accidentally harm one, you feel guilt and remorse. You treat plants as if they were your own hair, rivers and lakes as if they were your veins, mountains and soil as if they were your flesh and bones, and air as if it were your skin.
If you meet any three of these eight criteria, you should understand: you are the “harvest” we are gathering—or one of those sent from the heavenly realm to help us reap this harvest.
Lifechanyuan is not a city, a mountain, or a cave. It is an invisible space. Your physical body cannot enter—only your heart and soul can.
In Lifechanyuan, there are no high positions to hold, no bonuses to claim, no villas to live in, no beauties to embrace. All that exists is the spiritual communion between sages and Celestial Beings.
Lifechanyuan is a gathering place for the most spiritual sages of humanity, for souls filled with great love. There is no power to seize, no profit to compete for.
Outside Lifechanyuan, there may be many “masters,” “geniuses,” or “remarkable” people. But as Shakespeare once said:
“A genius who sits idly by, no matter how elegant or outstanding, remains a deformed genius. A genius without love is a monster.”
Here I have gathered some words from spiritually insightful thinkers. May these inspire your passion and courage for this great mission:
“To strive, through hardship and ingenuity, for a great and sacred cause is entirely worthwhile.” —Charles Dickens
“We should not remain content, snugly sealed within the shell and crust that once nurtured the seeds of our ideals; for only by breaking through can LIFE unfold in its full vitality and beauty, offering its gifts to the world beneath the gentle sun.” —Rabindranath Tagore
“Great men have always crossed vast deserts before reaching the glorious peaks.” —Honoré de Balzac
“The most extraordinary things are often the hardest for people to understand.” —Victor Hugo
“The greatest person is also the one most capable of enduring humiliation. There are unique individuals in this world whose presence profoundly shapes your life. Even a brief encounter can feel like a rebirth, changing your entire way of living.” —Maxim Gorky
“To become great, one must pay the price. The work of a genius is irrigated with tears.” —Balzac
“Talented people often attract slander. Even the greatest will hear the barking of dogs.” —Hugo
“I have always believed that no inborn or acquired talent can achieve anything unless combined with perseverance, humility, and diligent hard work.” —Dickens
“Genius and evil are incompatible.” —Pushkin
“If only I had ten thousand grand mansions to shelter all the world’s poor in joy.” —Du Fu
“Worry before all others worry; rejoice only after all others rejoice.” —Fan Zhongyan
“The road ahead is long and far-reaching; I will seek the Way through all realms.—Qu Yuan
“Living ideals should remain connected with the changing, developing pulse of LIFE. True freedom does not lie within safe boundaries, but along the adventurous roads of risk, where fresh experiences abound.” —Tagore
“The better a person is, the purer and more honest their soul. But their determination may be weaker, their spirit more fragile, and their life harder. Loneliness and sorrow are their fate.” —Gorky
“In the world of inevitability, man has extreme limits. In the world of hope, man has infinite potential.” —Tagore
“To pin your hopes on one person is a dangerous way to live.” —Hugo
“Faith stands above all powers and is the source of all things.” —Romain Rolland
“Faith is the power of LIFE. The answers it gives to life’s riddles contain humanity’s deepest wisdom.” —Tolstoy
“We should ignite the light of reason within ourselves so that those lost in ignorance may see us.” —Gorky “Those who accomplished great deeds in ancient times were not only gifted with extraordinary talent, but also possessed unwavering perseverance.” — Su Shi
“Everything depends on people, and everything exists for the sake of people.” — Maxim Gorky
Take a moment to quiet your heart and reflect: Will you go on living as you are, or will you break free from the chains of habitual thinking and elevate yourself?
