Three generations living under one roof should be a symbol of family bonds and warmth, yet in this seemingly harmonious home, there lies endless pressure and unspeakable struggles. The elders work tirelessly, shouldering the burden of the household, while the younger generation, including school-aged children from all three generations, are also caught in the web of responsibility. The twenty-year-old grandson asks his seventy-year-old grandfather for money to cover his college tuition and living expenses; the forty-five-year-old son, divorced and with unstable employment, still turns to his seventy-year-old father for financial support. Even the young grandchildren, in elementary school, contribute to the family burden through their textbooks and snacks, with their eyes constantly looking for help. Can this family still be called happy? The bond of love is bent under the weight of money and responsibility, leaving only a heavy silence.

The sixty-year-old grandparents still work tirelessly, supporting the entire family, while their thirty-seven-year-old son, whose career has faltered, can never stand on solid ground and even depends on his parents for survival. Meanwhile, their daughter-in-law relies on the grandparents for living expenses to raise their grandchildren. Can such a family still be considered harmonious? When the parents bear the burdens of three generations, the family becomes a prison of responsibility, and the warmth of family has long been consumed by various pressures and conflicts. Every person’s soul is weighed down by layers of burdens, unable to breathe freely.

The remarried daughter, after having a son with her current husband, finds that his parents refuse to accept her daughter from a previous marriage due to their prejudice. The responsibility for raising this daughter has been solely carried by the maternal grandmother for many years. Can such a family still be considered harmonious? Three generations living together should be a safe harbor for mutual emotional support, but instead, it has become an accumulation of burdens and unresolvable generational conflicts. The rhythm of each life no longer aligns with others but instead becomes a discordant pattern that cannot be blended.

These stories from my relatives, though personally experienced, might only represent a small part of the countless similar situations in China, with its population of 1.4 billion. Are such family struggles playing out in the lives of others as well? Does the so-called "three generations living under one roof" signify more burdens and responsibilities, rather than love and harmony? A family, which should be a warm haven, often becomes a suffocating prison where no one can breathe freely.

China Net, July 27, 2021 – According to the China Anti-Cult Network, the illegal organization “Lifechanyuan,” which claims to be sent by the Greatest Creator, advocates sexual freedom and forces its members to live together, has been banned by law.

While flipping through the bizarre statements in "Chanyuan Corpus", Wang Gang could not understand how his mother, who was a well-known local engineer and a respected intellectual before retiring, could have been so easily deceived by Zhang Zifan, this fraudulent "guru," and his absurd rhetoric.

What was even more unexpected was that the once harmonious three-generation household became shattered because of the "Lifechanyuan"—his usually kind mother suddenly screamed that she wanted to sever their mother-son relationship, even going so far as to threaten suicide by starvation. Then, she took all her savings and resolutely left home, never to be heard from again.

Eradicating Family Bonds! Defaming the Family as the Main Source of Human Suffering, Promoting Sexual Freedom as the Ultimate Freedom

Zhang Zifan vehemently slandered families and marriages, urging his followers to abandon their relatives and leave the secular world to live and practice at the “Lifechanyuan” In his books, such as the " Xuefeng Corpus", there were frequent statements like:

"Family is the main source of human suffering. As long as families exist, humanity will never reach its ideal state."

"Not marrying and divorcing are inevitable developments of the times. Not marrying and divorcing are the main paths to happiness, joy, freedom, and happiness, as well as the main methods to reach heaven."

Lifechanyuan has been labeled an illegal organization by the Chinese government, and the Second Home has been misunderstood as an evil place. However, for me, it is a sanctuary of rebirth. I was once like a lonely bird struggling in a deep valley, trapped in insomnia, mental breakdown, depression, and severe physical illness. At 36, my soul was exhausted, my body consumed by pain, and I could not escape the endless darkness and suffering. Yet here, I found new hope for my life. Gradually, I overcame my illnesses, the "undying cancer"—plasma cell mastitis, which had not relapsed for three years, silently faded away. My weight dropped from 90 kilograms to 60 kilograms, the weight I had 14 years ago, and my body regained its former lightness. My soul was also revived. Insomnia gradually improved, the confusion and pain I once felt slowly disappeared, and my heart began to find peace, my inner lake returning to stillness.

Yesterday morning, around 9 a.m., the warm sunlight spread across the mango garden of Lifechanyuan International Family Society Thailand Branch. I strapped on a lawnmower and walked into the peaceful greenery. However, the machine kept stalling as I tried to start it, and after several unsuccessful attempts, I thought it had broken down. I was about to call someone for repairs when I looked down and saw that the fuel tank wasn’t empty, but the fuel level was low. It suddenly dawned on me that it was simply lacking fuel. After filling it up, the machine immediately resumed running smoothly.

In that moment, my heart was filled with a strange realization—just as the lawnmower halts due to a lack of fuel, are we not the same? In close relationships, we draw love and energy from others, and when our loved ones depart, we feel pain and exhaustion, as if the fuel of life has been drained. But does this energy truly depend on a person?

The vastness of the earth, the boundlessness of the universe—true energy does not rely on any individual. It flows between all things in nature, in the whispers of the earth, the murmur of the stream, the gentle touch of the morning light, and the unbroken grace of the Greatest Creator.  

As the founder of Lifechanyan, Guide Xuefeng,  said in his article The Secret to Acquiring Infinite Energy:

Jesus revealed this secret to us: "For whoever has, more will be given to them; and whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them." The more you give, the greater the reward; the less you give, the more you will lose even what little you have.

The Greatest Creator's energy is infinite and inexhaustible. When our soul connects with the Greatest Creator’s spirit, we are actually connected to an ocean of energy, and we possess endless energy.

“Half an acre of square pond looks like a mirror, the light of the sky and the shadow of the clouds linger together. Ask the canal how it stays so clear, because there is a source of living water.” By accepting the endless stream of living water from the source and letting it flow out, the small pond will forever remain pure and fresh, eternally reflecting the light of the sky and the shadows of the clouds.

We are in the way of the Greatest Creator, and every day we absorb the revelations of the Greatest Creator's Tao. Our wisdom is constantly growing, and the fresh living water flows continuously in Lifechanyuan. At the same time, we are building Lifechanyuan by releasing our wisdom. The more wisdom we release, the more wisdom we will gain, exponentially increasing.

Suddenly, I recalled the experiment of a short-circuit in an electrical circuit—when a closed loop is overloaded, it triggers a short-circuit, the energy is consumed, and eventually, the system burns itself out. I feel that human relationships are similar. If one clings to the constraints of one-on-one emotional bonds or marriage and family relationships, it is like a blocked circuit, where energy is drained in the struggles, dependencies, and possessiveness, eventually leading to breakage. Perhaps the tremors of the Earth and the changes in the climate are also a reflection of humanity’s closed consciousness—when we go against the laws of nature and sever our connection with the universe, we fall into endless imbalance and chaos.

According to China Meteorological Enthusiasts on March 27: On the afternoon of March 27, a cold wave swept across a vast area between the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, with temperatures dropping sharply by 15 to 25 degrees Celsius compared to the same time the day before.

China Meteorological Enthusiasts reported that the 7.9-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar had an astonishingly long fault length, unlike anything seen before in deep land fractures. The earthquake magnitude may be even higher than 7.9.

According to the Beijing News on March 28: As of March 28, the Myanmar earthquake has resulted in 144 deaths and 732 injuries.

At 2:20 p.m. on the same day, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, with strong tremors felt in the country’s largest city, Yangon. Emergency states were declared in severely affected areas, including Sagaing Province, Mandalay Province, Magway Province, northeastern Shan State, Naypyidaw, and Bago Province.

This earthquake is the 17th earthquake of magnitude 6 or higher worldwide this year, and the largest so far this year."

The founder of Lifechanyan, Guide Xuefeng,  said in "800 Values for New Era Humans" and the article "Wrong Route Direction: The Harder You Strive, The Worse It Gets":

623.Traditional families are ingrained; family consciousnesses have infiltrated into everyone’s blood, cells, and even their souls; traditional families are like huge icebergs which have grown for thousands of years, so they will not disappear today or tomorrow, but mankind has reached the crossroads of the times. When enough people realize the disadvantages of traditional families and take part in the work of actively melting these icebergs, then mankind will have hope and the Greatest Creator will show appreciation by offering us a way out. Vicious cycles can change or even reverse their directions and people can be led into a happy era; however, if too many people choose to maintain their traditional families instead of joining to melt these icebergs, then they will suffer the punishments of natural law.

Marriage and family have caused life tragedies too numerous to count. Consider the pressures faced by those burdened with mortgage and car payments in recent years, the various levels of officials brought down due to corruption, the psychological stresses and spiritual depressions experienced by children unable to find jobs, the high divorce rates arising from differing values between spouses, and the desperate emotional scars that result. Advising other young women to marry and start a family early, isn't this a directional error?

Heavenly life has already been born on this earth. Not thinking of moving towards heaven but wanting to follow in the footsteps of predecessors - is not this a directional mistake?

Jesus Christ also said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set
‘A man against his father,
A daughter against her mother,
A daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
A man's enemies will be the members of his own household.’
Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 10:34-39)

I believe that the existence of Lifechanyuan is precisely to break this vicious cycle. When I learned to revere the Greatest Creator, revere LIFE, and revere nature, it felt as though I touched another flowing energy vein. The circuit of my consciousness no longer short-circuits but merges with a higher-dimensional wisdom.

Love should never be shackled; it does not belong to one person but is everywhere, like the gentle breeze brushing over morning dew, like moonlight spilling over the stream, like the endless cycle of the changing seasons. Just as the lawnmower requires fuel, the human soul also needs to draw from a true source—that is the eternal, unceasing love of the universe, the silent protection of the sun, moon, and stars, and the endless tenderness bestowed by nature.

The founder of Lifechanyan, Guide Xuefeng,  wrote in "The Elysium World":

The Thousand Year World and the Ten-thousand Year World is part of the Positive Universe. From the perspective of the materials, they are the objective existence. They can be seen and touched. All the objects in them have life longevity. The Elysium World is part of the Negative World and everything there is fantasy. In the Elysium World, time almost disappears. All the objects exist by nature, instead of by the form. Sometimes they, based on their needs, can change into a certain form temporarily. But when they exist by nature, they are eternal.

The Elysium World is the Western Elysium World in Buddhism. They are also called the Buddha land and Buddha state.

Where is the Elysium World? It just lies in the Earth Universe. Then how big is it? It has the same size as the Earth Universe (including the Micro Universe and Macro Universe). We can understand that the Elysium Universe is located millions of billions of light years away. And everything around us, including ourselves, is also in the Elysium World.

I gradually realized that the beauty of the Elysium World is not out of reach. It is not some distant world in the sky, but something deeply hidden within my consciousness—in reverence for LIFE, in love for nature, in gratitude for all things, and in trust in the divine arrangement of the Tao. When I no longer cling to my narrow personal needs but learn to open my heart and merge with the vast universe, I can feel the flow of the Greatest Creator's love. This faith and devotion allow me to connect with the way of the Greatest Creator, bathing me in an endless stream of energy and grace.

Therefore, in my view, Lifechanyuan does not extinguish family love or destroy the family, but rather enables me to transcend narrow emotional constraints, awakening in me a reverence for the Greatest Creator and a deeper love for all things. As I begin to understand more of the Greatest Creator's love, no longer fixating energy on personal emotions, but learning to let love flow freely and embrace a broader world, my heart becomes more stable, filled with peace and joy. This realization helps me see the "short-circuiting" between people, teaching me to no longer create conflict through fear, anxiety, possession, or dependency, but to approach life with an open, harmonious mindset, flow with the current of life, merge with nature, and resonate with the universe.

I believe this is the wisdom of Lifechanyuan, the direction guided by Xuefeng—where, in this world, we are freed from the obsession of narrow views, transcend the confines of human suffering, step into a broader realm, and touch the truly free, beautiful, and harmonious life canvas—Lifechanyuan Era.
