Scenery of the Third Branch's courtyard

Xuefeng

Here, we are almost completely cut off from the world—there are no sounds of cars, horses, or shouting. All that can be heard are the songs of birds, the chirping of crickets, the laughter of Celestial men and women, and the gentle rustling of trees as the breeze softly blows across the mountains and fields. The serene courtyards and clean gardens make this place truly ideal for cultivating one’s spirit. I hope that all of us, as Celestials, continue to strive to create earthly paradises and secluded utopias wherever we are, where Celestial men and women can enjoy life’s sweetness and beautiful scenery together, with playful banter and affectionate teasing.
