Trip reflection: Wisdom and consciousness-centered worldview

inspired by Lifechanyuan international Community

Time flies — I’ve already been back from Chiang Mai in Thailand for a week.

Yet my heart still lingers in the quiet mountains, where the spirit of Lifechanyuan pulses through every shared meal, every smile, and every moment of intentional living.

The experience I gained through my brief but meaningful affiliation with the Lifechanyuan community was nothing short of transformational. It stirred something deep within me — something that transcends ordinary understanding. It was not just an encounter with a group of people; it was an encounter with a higher frequency of living, a field of consciousness cultivated through simplicity, harmony, reverence, and joy.

In my medical practice, I’ve long sought to heal not just the body, but the whole person. But it wasn’t until I witnessed the spiritual ecology of Lifechanyuan — where no one claims ownership, where everyone serves one another as a way of serving the Greatest Creator — that I truly began to understand what healing as wholeness means. True healing, I now see, begins when ego dissolves, when competition is replaced by cooperation, and when life is lived not for personal gain but for universal well-being.

The teachings of Lifechanyuan illuminated for me a new paradigm of consciousness — one in which everything is interconnected, and all beings are in a sacred dance of karma, evolution, and divine orchestration. Living with the community, even for a short time, reminded me that inner peace is not found in isolation or ambition, but in humility, gratitude, and alignment with cosmic principles.

Each member of the community was like a mirror, reflecting back to me my own attachments, my inner noise, and also my higher potential. Through shared labor, communal activities, and quiet reflections in nature, I began to let go — not only of stress and modern conditioning, but of the inner prison of “self”.

I return now to my daily life and practice not just refreshed, but reoriented. My path ahead feels lighter and more joyful, not because life is easier, but because I have touched a way of being that is in tune with Tao — the Way of nature, love, and wisdom.

To the brothers and sisters of Lifechanyuan: thank you for your silent teachings, your presence, and your example. Though my stay was brief, the seeds you helped plant in me will continue to grow, blossom, and bear fruit in service to others.

May we all walk the path of Celestial beings, with joy, sincerity, and freedom.

In the Mountains of Stillness

(A Poem)

Time flows like a quiet stream,
Yet my soul remains upstream—
In mountains veiled with morning mist,
Where silence speaks, and hearts resist
The noise of ego, gain, and race,
And find instead a sacred place.

I came as one, I left as more,
For what I found was not a door—
But a field of light, of conscious breath,
Where service lives, and self meets death.
Where every smile, and every bowl
Is shared not just with hand—but soul.

No one owns, yet all belong.
No claim to right, no need for wrong.
Where gardens grow through gentle hands,
And joy is sung, not just planned.
Here healing means to be made whole—
To soften mind, and free the soul.

I thought I came to learn and see—
But Lifechanyuan awakened me.
The mirrors in each friend I met
Showed my attachments, fears unmet.
Yet in their eyes, I saw a spark
That led me safely through the dark.

Now I return, the same, yet new—
A vessel filled with morning dew.
A life once lived for name and gain
Now walks with grace, in sun and rain.
No path is perfect, yet I know:
The Tao flows where surrender grows.

Thank you, keepers of the flame,
Who live without the need for fame.
Your silence taught, your rhythm healed,
Your joy was light the stars revealed.

So let me now, with humble hands,
Plant what grew in distant lands.
That others too may come to see—
True peace begins in unity.
