Soul Garden¶
[Entry Gateway]
In Lifechanyuan terminology, LIFE (capitalized) refers to the ontological essence of existence β the soul/antimatter structure that persists across incarnations β while life (lowercase) refers to the experiential stage of human existence in this world.
The Soul Garden (εΏη΅θ±ε) is the core cultivation concept and the foundational metaphor of Lifechanyuan's spiritual practice. The soul garden is the inner landscape of every person β it can be tended until it blooms with Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Love, Faith, and Sincerity, or left untended until it fills with weeds of jealousy, greed, fear, and hatred. What grows there determines where one's LIFE goes after death.
Build your soul garden. Everything else follows from this.

Core Positioning¶
In the Lifechanyuan system, the Soul Garden is simultaneously: the practical target of all cultivation (what you are actually doing when you cultivate); the measure of LIFE's antimatter structure (the state of the garden mirrors the state of the structure); and the bridge between individual inner work and the collective harmony of the Second Home and Civilization 3.0.
