Emotional love is a precious gift endowed to mankind by the Greatest Creator and romantic love is the highest order of the game, as well as an effective initial approach to becoming a Buddhist believer and to gain enlightenment and to reach the realm of Elysium. Fully enjoying these types of love accords the will of the Greatest Creator and is part of the beautiful life that cannot be ignored or expropriated.
One important quality of the culture building of the New Oasis for Life is to ensure that everyone enjoys emotional and romantic love fully and protects everyone else’s freedom to enjoy them as well. Any suppression or expropriation of this freedom is inhuman and goes against the will of the Greatest Creator.
There are no marriages or families with husband-wife relationships in the New Oasis for Life. Once inside the New Oasis for Life, everyone is free and relieved of any bondage and shackles in the matters of love. On the basis of mutual consent and within the code of civility, one will not be subjected to any form of restraint or supervision with regard to their emotional and romantic livessexual life. Anyone who attempts to limit or supervise another's freedom of love will have deviated from the values of Lifechanyuan and will not be entitled to live in the New Oasis for Life.
No one should usurp or control another, no one should treat another as their private property, and no one should interfere with another's love or attempt to expropriate it. In other fields of life, we should rid ourselves of the consciousness of feudal autocracy and eliminate oppression and private ownership. In the field of spirit, soul, and flesh, we should also rid ourselves of the consciousness of feudal autocracy and eliminate oppression and private ownership.
Jealousy shows the ugliness of one's soul. Jealousy, complaining, resentment, and hatred manifested in close emotional relationshipssexual relationships are the symbols of ugly souls. It is morally criminal to restrict, control, monitor, supervise, or hinder out of jealousy another's freedom of love.
In the New Oasis for Life, all forms of love are free. One is free to live by themself. Two people are free to live together faithfully and refrain from close relations with any third person. One is also free to have several close emotional partners or to have an unlimited number of partners if they wish. Everything goes in accordance with one's own free will. These are private affairs of no concern to the public. The New Oasis for Life respects everyone’s will, personality, and interests. No one should impose their will or values upon others. Those who like bread should not limit other people’s like for noodles. Those who do not like apples should not forbid others from eating them. The New Oasis for Life encourages the blooming of all flowers, like the eight immortal celestial beings who each displayed their own special skills in crossing the sea. The New Oasis for Life provides the stage for the full and comprehensive blooming of gorgeous flowers of human characters.
As the result of an erroneous consciousness of intimate relationships for thousands of years, artificial limitations, improper moral norms, and commandments have been established in different societies which have caused countless people to have been treated unfairly, human character has been severely suppressed, and those things that were originally beautiful have been defiled. Very simple things have been made complicated and naturally pure and noble things have been regarded as low and dirty. What should have been comedies became tragedies. Such situations should not continue because the original purity and simplicity of things should be restored so that everyone can fully enjoy the pleasures of all kinds of love and every one should lead happy, pleasant, free and blessed lives. This is an important part of our culture building; to return to the Garden of Eden.
Since man remains in a backward and ignorant state, competing and struggling according to the law of the jungle and in a war of survival centering on the selfish possession of resources, we face severe challenges and difficulties in building a culture that makes sure everyone fully enjoys intimate loving relationships. The road ahead is fraught with twists and turns and great risks. Without a firm will, one is likely to be swallowed up by the secular outlook on loving relationships at any time. The winds and waves of the secular world may overturn our ship of new culture. However, society is moving forward, people are awakening, and more and more people are realizing that the traditional views on emotional and romantic love have caused great misfortune and pain, especially to individuals. We believe firmly that as long as we are patient and stick to our beliefs, the new culture of the the New Oasis for Life is bound to be widely accepted, that a brand-new way of life will bring happiness and light to mankind, and that Lifechanyuan era will surely come to pass.
