A great transformation has been unveiled. We will either lead in the transformation, or follow it closely, or get eliminated. There is no a fourth way for us to choose. Lifechanyuan will usher in a new era (the Lifechanyuan era) for the mankind on this earth after 2013.Lifechanyuan is the last course for human beings to learn and follow : The new era of mankind — Lifechanyuan Era has unveiled its curtain. It is being unfolded in full swing, in terms of both theory and practice. Every member of mankind should get to know the connotation of Lifechanyuan Era as early and quickly as possible, otherwise, he or she will certainly lag far behind. The present day of mankind is caused by the past of mankind, and the present day of everyone is caused by his past. Only if we have realized this, can we have a tranquil mind, and form wisdom instantly. Only if we have understood this, will we stop complaining god, the earth, the society, and other people. Only in this way, can we find the direction and make for the thoroughfare.The process of life is just like the composition of a fax. Life is a short journey of being in the human world.To create happiness for mankind and individual, you must rely on the Greatest Creator as well as yourself. In life if a person wants to live a free and easy life, he must know how to give up. Only if he can continuously give up, can he continuously surpass himself.

800 Values for New Era Human being
（Second Edition）
Deiform Buddha
Chapter 9：Life
Definition of "Life" and "LIFE":
LIFE: IFE is a nonmaterial structure with spiritual sense.
LIFE=1+1,IFE is composed of two parts, the intangible spiritual entity
and the tangible body. The intangible spiritual entity mainly refers to
thought, consciousness, spirit, and soul, etc. The tangible body mainly
refers to the flesh body where the soul is attached.
Life: life is just a journey of LIFE in this world. The traveller is
issued a single-entry visa with the travelling date specified.
255. Life is a short journey of being in the human world.
256. Man should pursue three major treasures in life: the richness of soul,
the spiritual wealth, and material wealth. Man should first seek after the
richness of soul, then the spiritual wealth, and finally the material wealth.
None of the three treasures is dispensable. A life without any one of them
will be imperfect.
257. In life one should simultaneously scale two highest realms: one is
the pursuit of the maximum happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing

2. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
of life; and the other is the sublimation of the quality of LIFE and the
perfection of the nonmaterial structure of LIFE, and the effort to continue
LIFE into the higher space of life such as Thousand-year World, the
Ten-thousand-year World, and the Celestial Islands Continent of the
Elysium World.
258. The number of people who have awakened to this enlightenment is
very small, and the number of people choosing to go ashore is very small,
and the great majority of people choose to drift with the tide. Awakening
to enlightenment is drudgery, while enjoyment is a satisfying matter. This
is a result of man’s inertia. With inborn inertia, people are hesitant to
attempt the new ways. They want to conserve what they already possess.
They are conservative, and they prefer a secure and stable life and are
afraid of change and loss. They are afraid of entering the unfamiliar areas.
They dread the prospect that what they obtain from their adventure may
not be worth what they have invested. Actually the more afraid you are,
the more miserable situation you will be plunged in. The best defense is
attack, and the best life is active innovation. It is better to be innovative
than conservative. Expanding into a new area would be better than
obstinately clinging to the old area. Everyone has endless potential,
capability, and charms. The conservative man will never know and can
never bring his potential and capability into full play, and thus he will
lose his charm.
259. In life if a person wants to live a free and easy life, he must know
how to give up. Only if he can continuously give up, can he continuously
surpass himself. Abnegation is a major magic weapon for the growth of
soul and spirit, and more importantly abnegation is the best way to
sublime oneself and obtain a beautiful future. Abnegation is included in

3. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
the core teachings of Jesus Christ and Buddha Sakyamuni, in the freedom
and happiness of life, and in the mystery to lead life to heaven.
260. Man falls into five categories: ignorant person, laity, mortal, sage,
and celestial. Those who are driven by instincts are ignorant persons,
those by desires are laities, those by sentiment are mortals, those by
rationality are sages, and those by spiritual sense are celestials. Sages
belong to the category of celestials.
261. Man lives to pursue happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing. All
activities of man and mankind are centered on this goal. If we have
ignored this goal of the existence of life, we would be putting the cart
before the horse, whether it is the study for a doctorate’s degree, the
marriage to found a family, the establishment of a company, the pursuit
of an official career for more money, or the self-cultivation. Pursue
happiness, freedom and pleasure, and fully enjoy the happiness,
joyfulness，freedom and blessing on the journey of life, and hence love
life, love being, love nature, and feel gratitude—this is the moral of being
a man and also the major value and significance of life.
262. The highest realm of life is: read extensively, have the world in mind,
cure the severe illness, make vigorous effort to turn the situation, benefit
the people, and build the globe into a paradise where the peoples of the
whole world live harmoniously with each other. The highest realm of
LIFE is: self-improve and self-refine, release souls of people from
purgatory, achieve celestial being and Buddhahood, and realize Supreme
Authentic Wisdom. The highest realm of Chanyuan celestial is: perfect
the nonmaterial structure of LIFE, and go to live in the Thousand-year
World, the Ten-thousand-year World, and the Elysium World, especially
the Celestial Islands Continent of the Elysium World.

4. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
263. The human world is a place where the LIFE of different realms
alternates and transmigrates between each other. It is a transfer station
between the paradise and the hell. Motley travelers are jumbled in the
human world. Some are going to the Thousand-year World, some to the
Ten-thousand-year World, some to the Elysium World, some to the
animal world, some to the hell, and some back to the human world. With
the confusing scenes and theories and the contention between Buddha and
monsters, it is difficult to tell right from wrong.
264. The habit that is the easiest to form, and the easiest to ignore, but the
most harmful to life and LIFE is the habit to accept favor and forget to
feel the gratitude. The more intimate the person is to you, the more
important the person is to you, and the more unselfishly devoted to you
the person is, the more likely you are to feel resentment and blame, the
more likely you are to forget respect and gratitude, the more likely you
are to be fault-finding, and the more likely you are to demand perfection.
Often accustomed to gaining, one is likely to forget gratitude; often
accustomed to acquisition, one is likely to ignore appreciation—this is
why the more intimate persons are more likely to incur hurt. Of all that
one should feel thankful for, the people are most likely to ignore their
gratitude for the Greatest Creator. We are used to the warm sunshine, the
air that we breathe in, the beautiful flowers and mountains, and the
wonder and pleasure of sexual love, but we have completely forgotten
that all these are bestowed by the Greatest Creator. We have forgotten our
greatest benefactor. Those who don’t know how to feel grateful and yet
demanding perfection have formed the worst habits.
265. What is most easily obtainable is the most precious. We must be
highly clear-headed that what comes by easily is very precious. We
should not think that what we have gained easily is of little value. Rather,

5. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
what is most easily available is most precious. We should regard them as
the favor of the Greatest Creator, and we should take this principle as the
valuable book of life.
266. Human society needs traffic lights. Human society is in need of
sages or community of sages, who have in mind only the interest of the
whole mankind and disregard their own interest, the interest of their
families, of their nationalities, of their political parties, of their religions,
and of their own countries. Only such sages or community of sages can
relatively impartially institute the traffic light to be jointly observed by all
mankind.
267. Sages do not celebrate birthdays. Saints do not celebrate festivals
related to the state, political party, religion, family, and army.
268. Saint knows the origin of the universe and LIFE, understands Tao
and rules of the operation of Tao. Saint is the incarnation of rationality.
269. Man can fall into 18 grades according to the percentage point of
spiritual sense in human nature. The greater the percentage, the higher the
grade.
270. The theory of evolution cannot testify the origin of mankind. Man is
absolutely not a result of evolution. The bible only records the origin of
man in the Middle East, not the origin of the whole mankind.
271. Man is the product of the consciousness of the Greatest Creator. The
existence of man is closely related to all LIFE in the universe and there
exists a mutual cause and effect relationship between them. Once man has
destroyed the harmony, order, and symmetry of nature, mankind is to face
the catastrophe. There must be three basic conditions for man to live on

6. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
the earth: 1. Love the Greatest Creator, 2. Love nature, 3. Love mankind
itself. Without the three conditions, man will not be entitled to live in the
paradise created by the Greatest Creator.
272. The morality and ethics of Lifechanyuan are as follows: Life is a
short journey of LIFE in the human world, life is a game, and the purpose
of life is to please the Greatest Creator, the value of life is to pursue Tao
and attain celestial being, and the significance of life is to obtain
happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing. All arguments, forms and
statutes develop around such morality and ethics. Life is no longer a
source of worry about whether you own something or not. You need not
feel anxious for money, power, fame, and gains. You need no longer live
your life by bending to other people’s attitudes and comments. You need
no longer feel dreaded of death. You need no longer be persistent in
anything, you need no longer force yourself to waste your time on a
certain purpose, and you no longer need to live for certain creed, truth,
state, religion, political party, or family. You just make yourself
adjustable to whatever the situation calls for and act according to your
own nature. “You just enjoy life no matter where we are and what we are
doing.”. “The wind rustles the sparse bamboo groves, and no sound is left
in the grove after the wind dies down; the wild geese swim across the
cold pool, and no reflections are retained in the pool after the wild geese
have flown away”. Follow what is predestined and be unrestrained.
273. The eighteen causes of suffering in life: 1. Incorrect values of life,
LIFE, and universe; 2. Selfishness; 3. Greed; 4. Laziness; 5. Jealousy; 6.
Complaint and resentment; 7. Comparison; 8. Undue ambition for victory
and struggle; 9. Arrogance and insolence; 10. Dependent; 11. Infatuated
and poisoned love; 12. possession and occupation; 13. Contention for
fame and gain; 14. attachment; 15. Ambition to transform and control

7. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
other people; 16. Deviation from Tao of nature; 17. Transgression of laws
and disciplines; 18. Consciousness of marriage, family, nationality, state,
political party, religion, and organization.
274. The present day of mankind is caused by the past of mankind, and
the present day of everyone is caused by his past. Only if we have
realized this, can we have a tranquil mind, and form wisdom instantly.
Only if we have understood this, will we stop complaining god, the earth,
the society, and other people. Only in this way, can we find the direction
and make for the thoroughfare.
275. Man should not only get out of the “Egypt” of flesh but “Egypt” of
soul.
276. What is the ultimate goal of life? Put more simply, it is the
sublimation of spiritual sense, the transcendence over the secular world,
and the gradual progress toward the higher space of LIFE. In more
complicate terms, the ultimate goal is to strive to make the nonmaterial
structure of one’s LIFE evolve toward the LIFE structure of celestials in
the Thousand-year World, Ten-thousand-year World, and Elysium World,
and ultimately achieve the quality of celestials and go to live in the place
abided by gods and celestials.
277. How can we return to the correct path? Light up the magical lamp in
mind, and take an overview of one’s life; get detached from the fetters of
life and death, and return to the original nature. Get rid of conventional
thinking and move forward at super light speed; discard all possessions,
have a firm belief in the journey of life; just forge ahead and think of
nothing else.
278. The process of life is just like the composition of a fax.

8. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
279. Life is a kaleidoscope. What kind of flower will put forth depends
on the structure of flowers. What kind of life one can achieve is decided
by man’s consciousness. Therefore the core issue is not such factors as
objective environment but the intrinsic quality. When you approach the
mountain you will get to know the twitter of birds; when you approach
the water you will understand the free swimming of fish; when you
worship Buddha, you will acquire the nature of Buddha; when you seek
celestials, your dream of becoming a celestial will come true. As long as
we have the wish to build a perfect life, we will unconsciously realize our
dream under the subtle influence.
280. Life needs a runway. If one wishes to achieve something in his life,
he must choose a runway that best suits his character. Without a runway,
he cannot exert his talent; without a runway, he will be obscured in the
multitude. The best runway is the runway for which one can fight all his
life, the runway subject to constant changes is not a good runway. Once
you have chosen your runway, you had better not give it up easily. Give
up means failure.
281. To create happiness for mankind and individual, you must rely on
the Greatest Creator as well as yourself.
282. The meaning of life is to fully exhibit one’s own nature and please
the Greatest Creator. Man is created by the Greatest Creator. Since man is
created by the Greatest Creator, the purpose of creation is to please the
creator. Man who cannot please his creator will have a life of tragedy.
283. It is the lazy people’s philosophy to leave everything in the hand of
destiny. They don’t have an enterprising spirit, don’t work hard and are
lazy by nature. They are always dreaming of beautiful things but are

9. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
reluctant to make any effort. They are not ready to take the initiative but
expect pies to fall from the sky. Life has an order of priority. A best plan
can be found for everything. If we leave everything in the hand of destiny,
we will be muddleheaded as to the order of priority, our intelligence will
be more and more retarded, and we will be more and more ignorant and
confused. The essence of self-cultivation is to change the track of destiny
through transforming the thinking and thus enter the higher space of life.
284. Man is extremely elastic; man has unlimited potential; man can be
great and small, and noble and humble.
285. The tribulation of mankind comes from mankind itself. The
tribulation of every individual comes from himself. The functioning of
Tao abides by rigorous logic and order. The equity and impartiality of the
Greatest Creator is incarnated in the functioning of Tao. If we can not
understand this principle, the tribulation may never come to an end, and
the vicious circle may continue endlessly.
286. The most important thing in life is not to try one’s best to possess as
much material as possible but to change thinking.
287. During the life, we must try hard to have a clear view of the road
ahead, figure out the principle and mystery of life as soon as possible, and
find out the direction and scene of heaven. Then we shall quickly go
through the procedures for “passport”, “visa”, “air ticket” and “luggage”.
We shall settle the liabilities and affairs in the human world as quickly as
possible and get ready to fly to heaven at any time.
288. Based on the outlook on world and the outlook on LIFE, the value
system of life is the “box and needle” and “compass” that adjust the
direction of life all the time. Different value systems will bring about

10. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
different lives. The wide variety of lives is caused by the numerous and
complicated value systems. The value systems of Jesus Christ and
Buddha have consummated their characters of god and Buddha. The
value system of Hitler has brought about his character of a demon. Some
engage in politics, some enter the business, some become ministers and
rabbis, still others have turned burglars—all these are caused by their
different value systems.
289. To understand the meaning of life, we should first turn on the
spiritual perception and the dharma-caksus and Buddha-caqksus.
Otherwise, we would be in a dark room and can see nothing.
290. Time and energy are the diamonds of life, which should be inlaid on
the crown. Time and energy should be spent on the place and cause that
can best embody the value of life.
291. Life is a journey. No matter how many reincarnations we can
undergo, even if a thousand or ten thousand samsara in the human world,
we will have only one life in the human world if we have lost our
memory. We won’t know about our previous life and future life, and we
will not even know the relation of previous life and future life with us and
their significance. Only people who can clearly understand their past and
can see their future are living in a reasonable way. And only such people
can turn tragedy into comedy, enter the realm of freedom from the realm
of destiny and fully enjoy the dainties and regales and magnificent
demeanors.
292. The best investment in life is to make investment in the causes that
can bring happiness, joyfulness, freedom and blessing to life and at the
same time lead the LIFE to the Thousand-year Word, or

11. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
Ten-thousand-year World, or the Celestial Islands Continent of the
Elysium World. Any other investment is either full of bewilderment,
compunction, loneliness, humdrum, bitterness, affliction or end in failure
and loss, we may fall short of a success for lack of a final effort, or even
worse, our wrong investment may cause boundless sin that cannot be
redeemed through many samsaras.
293. The values of life advocated by Lifechanyuan are: life should be
happy, joyful, free and blessed, all things and factors that can make our
life happy, pleasant and free are valuable, and all things and factors that
hinder us from obtaining freedom, happiness and pleasure are valueless,
and the perfection of the nonmaterial structure of life takes precedence
over everything else in life. LIFE is boundless, while life is finite. The
materials that have been obtained through hard work during the life are
all empty in the final analysis, and only the formless things obtained by
us are real things. What can people take with them at the time of death?
They cannot take anything tangible—money, fame and gain, and status.
They cannot take with them their parents, spouses, and children. They can
take with them only one thing—the quality of LIFE, which according to
the teachings of Jesus Christ is the wealth we have stored in heaven and
which according to the teachings of Buddha is the accomplishment of a
spiritual state of an immortal.
294. A life that can achieve health, abundance and freedom is a rich life.
In another word, health, abundance and freedom are the three constituent
elements of a perfect life.
295. The eight general outlines of human life: 1. firm belief in the
Greatest Creator and kindness; 2. diligence and creation; 3. respect for the
elderly and love for the young; 4. mastery of balance and betwixt; 5.

12. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
independent; 6. maintenance of commonness and no pursuit of eminence;
7. a forgiving attitude to oneself; 8. cherishing dreams and climbing
steadfastly toward the most beautiful place.
296. The basic morality of behavior: filial obedience to parents, not
disgrace ancestor and the sovereign, revere the Greatest Creator, be
practical and realistic, do not bully those who have no kin and cannot
support themselves, do not bully the disadvantaged groups, do not destroy
people’s homesteads and homes of animals, make living through work
and creation, do not do harm to brothers, sisters, neighbors and friends,
do not participate in any superstitious activities, do not expose others’
privacy, do not engage in fabrication and forgery, keep promise, carry
through to the end what you have started doing, respect teachers and
seniors, love hometown and motherland, do not uglify one’s nationality,
revere life and nature, do not deprive others of their freedom, and have a
feeling of gratitude.
297. The perfect human nature should meet eight conditions: (1). revere
the Greatest Creator and god and Buddha, and respect other people; (2).
have no ambition for victory and no desire to fight for superiority; (3).
love nature; (4). be modest, trustworthy, and honest; (5). be sympathetic
and compassionate; (6). be able to adjust yourself and remain calm no
matter whether you are under favorable circumstances or in adversity; (7).
conform to the laws of nature and do not seek eminence; (8). love life and
love labor.
298. A life without direction is blindfold, and a life without values is
perplexing. The affliction and misfortune of life lie mainly in the lack of
the direction and values of life.

13. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
299. What is a successful life? As long as you can feel happy, joyful, free
and blessing all your life, you have a successful life.
300. Life is like a dream. All the four elements (earth, water, fire and air
of which the world is made) are void. We should fully experience life and
thus feel no regret for life.
301. All are games, and only life is real. The reality is a game. People
obsessed with it are muddleheaded. People who are happy and pleasant in
the game have a waking consciousness. To own the reality is like the
dream of an infatuated person. Only with a game-playing attitude will
you not miss the life.
302. There is not very important matter in life, there is no matter of
extraordinary importance in life. Only LIFE is an important matter that
should be maintained and cherished. Life is limited and yet LIFE is
boundless. Everything of life centers on LIFE and LIFE is the core theme
of human life.
303. The first strategic issue of life is to exert one’s strong points and do
what one is willing to do. The second strategic issue of life is compliance
with climate. Spring is the time for sowing and autumn is the right time
for harvest. If you act against the heavenly time, you are certain to be
punished by Tao of heaven. And this is called “whoever understands the
times is a great man”. The third strategic issue of life is to always stay in
your rightful position and never step beyond it. The greatest strategic
issue of life is LIFE. All others are games and only LIFE is real. We
should place the issue of life and being on the most important position.
We do everything surrounding life and being. In this way, when the
headrope of a fishing net is pulled up, all its meshes open. All the other

14. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
things will be understood clearly. All the other things of life are simply
games. You will never have your mind abide in form, sound, scent, taste,
touch, and dharma. You are then Tathagata. And this is the real strategic
life of great wisdom.
304. Man is intrinsically blessed with the nature of god, Buddha, celestial,
man, beast, and things. The differences in times, environments, family
surroundings, educations and individual efforts have caused some people
to succeed in achieving a splendid and perfect life but have caused other
people to ruin their life.
305. The great wish can induce great life, and great wish has incredible
effect on life. All who have achieved great results are people with great
wishes. Without great wishes, life is like duckweeds that drift with the
tide. Without great wishes it is impossible to scale the peaks of life and
being.
306. Pursue the highest moral quality: man is differentiated in qualities.
The person who has highest moral quality possesses sincerity, kindness,
beauty, love, faith and honesty, and optimism, activeness, humbleness,
courtesy, cleanness, and tidiness. The highest quality is the sunlight that
brings sunshine and hope to people, the messenger of love that bring
people with happiness and good luck, the lucid stream that brings
freshness and vitality to people, and the big mountain that brings security
and reliability to people.
307. Do not miss the last flight of life. Once we have missed it, all the
money, power and fame in our possession will be valueless. Crying and
shouting will be of no avail. The flight of LIFE will not be delayed

15. 800 Values for New Era Human Being
simply because we are presidents, chairmen, scientists, masters,
professors, scholars, billionaires, or architects of soul.
308. Man has also spiritual perception apart from vision, hearing,
olfaction, taste, and touch. People without vision are blind, and people
without spiritual perception are blind in spiritual perception.
309. Without spiritual perception, there would be no spiritual sense.
Without spiritual sense, one cannot obtain perfect human nature, and the
consequences are as follows: 1. Thinking is confined to the
three-dimensional space; 2. The law and inevitability are denied; 3. there
would be no belief in law of cause and effect; 4. There would be no belief
in reincarnation of life; 5. The theory of evolution is introduced into
human society with belief in the law of jungle and the survival of the
fittest; 6. Attention is paid only to immediate interests without
consideration of long-term consequences; 7. The world will be
demoralized and human nature will be corrupted; 8. There would be no
feeling of gratitude and desire to repay the favor received.
