Is Lifechanyuan Spreading Superstition?

Calling Lifechanyuan an “illegal organization” or a “cult” is already a stretch, yet it at least leaves some people wondering, “Could it be true?”
But to accuse Lifechanyuan of spreading superstition—or of using superstition to obstruct the law—isn’t just absurd, it’s the very pinnacle of baseless slander. It’s the textbook case of “guilt without evidence.”

What is superstition?
Superstition refers to claims, forms, rituals, or behaviors that express belief or worship toward certain phenomena or things without factual basis, scientific evidence, or logical reasoning.

Lifechanyuan’s theoretical system is built upon nearly 4,000 articles. Can anyone point to even one article—or a single paragraph—that shows our ideas lack fact, science, logic, or spiritual insight? If yes, then suspicion might be warranted. If not, then anyone making this accusation either doesn’t know what superstition means, or is willfully spreading rumors and twisting words.

Our mission is simple: revere the Greatest Creator (God), cherish LIFE, cherish nature, and walk the Way of the Greatest Creator—which we clearly state is the same as the Way of Nature. Cherishing life and nature cannot be superstition. So, is revering the Greatest Creator superstition?

In our teachings, “God” refers to the Greatest Creator of the universe. What is unscientific or illogical about that? Houses, cars, computers, and phones are all created by human beings—true. But are humans the greatest creator in the universe? Obviously not. Humanity did not create the Moon. Who did? We didn’t create the solar system, the Milky Way, or the great galactic structures. Who did? Is revering the Creator of all these things superstition? If burning incense at a temple or honoring one’s ancestors is not superstition, why should reverence for the Greatest Creator be so labeled?

The core of Lifechanyuan’s teachings is the Greatest Creator and His Way. Our main sources include: the Gospels of the Bible, the Diamond Sutra, the Heart Sutra, the Tao Te Ching, and the wisdom of sages such as Vegetable Roots Discourse, Treatise on Response and Retribution, Expanded Words of the Worthy, Conversations by the Fireside, and Instructions for Practical Living by Yuan Liao Fan—along with the revelations of nature and scientific essays. Are these superstition?

From a theoretical standpoint, there is no basis for convicting Lifechanyuan. One would have to turn to practice. But in practice, rejecting marriage or family life is not a crime. If it were, then every single person who chooses to remain single would be a criminal.

The only thing some might twist into an accusation is our advocacy of “freedom in love and sexual relationships.” But this is no crime. The only way to criminalize it is to prove “group licentiousness.” And that requires evidence—proof that such acts actually occurred. Without facts, can one simply imagine them? If I imagined you were having an affair with your own mother, would you accept that?

In Xinjiang, five or six security officers raided our Gesar Home at 2 a.m., searching every corner, even under beds. Did they find any room where such acts took place? Not even a man and woman sleeping together, let alone “group licentiousness.” Hundreds of police raided our two homes in Guizhou before dawn. Did they find a single bedroom with such evidence? Again—nothing.

To equate advocating sexual freedom with group licentiousness only reveals the accuser’s own filth, pettiness, and lack of civilization.

So: no superstition, no group licentiousness, and not a single Chanyuan Celestial violating any law. On what grounds will you convict Lifechanyuan and its members? Will you base it on my articles against unjust governance, and the responses from our members? Look at the timeline—you arrested our members first, and only then did I write in protest. You forced the good into resistance; if there is guilt, it lies with the oppressor, not the oppressed.

In a time when right and wrong are inverted, good and evil confused, truth and lies blurred, and beauty and ugliness obscured—do not rush to judgment. If you blindly convict Chanyuan members, one day you will regret it. The Way of the Greatest Creator and the path of Lifechanyuan are roads humanity must eventually walk. They hold answers to social problems that both capitalism and socialism have failed to solve—solutions even superior to America’s current system.

When that day comes, the charges you lay on us will be a source of shame to your ancestors and descendants. Today’s wrongful acts will be remembered as a stain on the record of human civilization.
