I. Definition: The Gene as Scripture of LIFE¶
The atmosphere is the skin of the earth; the ozone layer is the guardian of life on earth; water is the blood of the earth; photosynthesis is the source of life's nourishment; the symmetry of nature is a mysterious force; the golden ratio is perfect beauty; the brain is a microcosm of the universe; the gene is the scripture of LIFE; the conditioned reflex is the protective mechanism of life; the pleasure of both sexes is not merely for procreation; the beauty of nature is the masterpiece of the Greatest Creator. — (New Era Human 800 Concepts, 4th edition, Concept 409)
The gene is a kind of structure — the grand edifice of LIFE — the general term for specific nucleotide sequences with hereditary effects in DNA molecules. The reason children resemble their parents is that genes have a replication function, transmitting hereditary information to the next generation. The reason white-skinned people are white-skinned, black-skinned people are black-skinned, yellow-skinned people are yellow-skinned, dogs are dogs, roses are roses — the key lies in the unique structural differences of each organism's genes. — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · 18. Gene — "The Scripture of LIFE")
II. The Scientific Wonder and Cosmic Significance of Genes¶
The gene is part of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), a molecular chain composed of phosphate and sugar. It has a double-helix form — two intertwining spiral molecular strands connected in the middle by horizontal bars called bases. Genes constitute only 2%–4% of the total DNA mass. — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · 18. Gene — "The Scripture of LIFE")
Science has established that the human genome contains approximately 30,000 genes, with each gene averaging 14 different versions, so the human genome contains around 42,000 gene variants. The birth, growth, aging, and death of LIFE are all regulated by genes. Over 8,000 known human diseases are gene-related. The natural healing of wounds in plants and animals reflects genes striving to preserve the perfection of their own structure. — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · 18. Gene — "The Scripture of LIFE")
Scientific exploration has revealed that the human body contains one hundred trillion cells; each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes; each chromosome contains 3 billion base pairs. If all chromosomes in a single human body were laid end to end, they would span more than 600 times the round-trip distance from earth to the sun. To write out all the information encoded in chromosomes would require a book 200,000 pages thick. The chromosomal difference between any two people is only 0.1% — the entire diversity among billions of humans on Earth today is the product of that 0.1% variation. What function the vast majority (97%) of the human genome's chromosomes actually serve remains an unsolved mystery. — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · 18. Gene — "The Scripture of LIFE")
The gene is the "scripture of LIFE." The Human Genome Project mobilized the world's best scientific minds from the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, France, and China, with the most advanced technology available, fighting for over a decade — and managed only to see the basic framework of this genetic edifice. As for what functions the other structures within that framework serve, and what mysteries they conceal — in my view, humanity has grasped only 0.1% of 0.1%.
Can we not recognize that the gene is a crystallization of the Greatest Creator's wisdom? Without the Greatest Creator, could such a complex structure have formed? Some people insist this arose "naturally." I ask: what exactly is "naturally"? — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · 18. Gene — "The Scripture of LIFE")
III. Genes, Character, Inheritance, and Life Trajectory¶
A person's character, appearance, health, and life trajectory all come from genes; genes determine a person's defining characteristics. — (Chanyuan Corpus · Civilization Chapter · How Far Is the Chinese Nation from Civilization)
The laws of LIFE evolution and the principles of causality explored in life science — including genetics and biological genetics — are all heavenly secrets (tianji). — (Xuefeng Corpus · Q&A Chapter · Reply to Daohuai (2): Heavenly Principles, Heavenly Codes, Heavenly Secrets)
Genetic information and codes determine everything in future lives. The view that someone with deep spiritual attainment but no lived experience of heavenly life will somehow enter heaven after death is self-deception. — (Guide's Other Articles · 2011 · The Hope of Attaining True Fruition Lies in the Second Home)
The spiritual body of the descendants of dinosaurs has no special origin; it is entirely influenced by information carried in the hereditary genes — and naturally carries the potential for illuminating the mind and perceiving one's nature. — (Xuefeng Corpus · Q&A Chapter · Q&A on Ling and Biological Robots)
IV. Clarification: Genes Are the Form, Not the Essence of LIFE¶
The Life Chapter states: the gene — this grand edifice of LIFE — is actually not the essence of LIFE itself; it is only the physical manifestation of LIFE's "scripture." Can the scripture of LIFE be understood and translated as the "code of LIFE"?
Reply: There is similarity between scripture and code, but they are not identical. Scripture is broad and limitless; code is narrow and bounded. Scripture is inexhaustible; code has a limit. — (Xuefeng Corpus · Q&A Chapter · Baobeicao Asks About Several Questions from the Life Chapter)
Working backward — reducing the human being from elderly to young, from young to infant, from infant to fetus, from fetus to fertilized egg, then peeling away the outer shell of the fertilized egg to see the cell nucleus, looking inside the nucleus to see chromosomes (which are merely carriers of genetic material), then looking further inside to see DNA — the fundamental material controlling biological heredity — DNA is a double-helix structure, a large molecule that stores genes. Each gene stores tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of pieces of information — called genetic codes. Are these pieces of information a material structure? Obviously not — they are antimatter content. Structures composed of antimatter are antimatter structures. The core of LIFE lies within this antimatter structure. — (Guide's Other Articles · 2007 · Keys to Heaven — LIFE Mystery Three)
Scientific research has demonstrated that in humans, chickens, and mice, the distribution of genes on chromosomes is nearly identical. The genetic difference between black, white, and yellow peoples is only about one thousandth. "A tiny gap at the core becomes a vast difference at the surface." A microscopic difference at the core of LIFE becomes a macroscopic difference in outward expression. Therefore, spiritual cultivation must work at the level of the antimatter structure of LIFE — this is how a small lever can move a great weight. — (Guide's Other Articles · 2007 · Keys to Heaven — LIFE Mystery Three)
V. The Danger of Genetic Engineering¶
Undoubtedly, the biological genetic engineering that humanity is currently pursuing has epoch-making significance and incalculable implications. Yet the genetic code is the golden lock that maintains the relative balance and stability of the natural ecosystem and prevents all manner of demons from escaping. Once unlocked, the following scenarios are not alarmist fiction — they could happen at any time. — (Chanyuan Corpus · Counterintuitive Thinking Chapter · Genetic Engineering — Ten Thousand Demons Breaking Loose)
You wake up one day to find that some of the people around you have grown tails, their facial features and voices transformed — because they ate animal meat with mutated genes... Demonic chaos spreads, bizarre events cascade, and the world is no longer the world it once was. By then, all regret will be eternally too late. — (Chanyuan Corpus · Counterintuitive Thinking Chapter · Genetic Engineering — Ten Thousand Demons Breaking Loose)
Who can claim to have mastered the full mystery of how genetic codes interact? Who can guarantee that genetic "hackers" will not arise? A computer hacker can only decrypt codes and disrupt programs; a single genetic hacker could push all of humanity into the abyss.
For the sake of protecting the natural ecological balance and maintaining the survival and development of humanity, I urge all governments and scientists: in all matters of biological genetic engineering, proceed with the utmost caution. Better to halt all progress for a hundred years than to act hastily or compete recklessly — lest disaster befall us. — (Chanyuan Corpus · Counterintuitive Thinking Chapter · Genetic Engineering — Ten Thousand Demons Breaking Loose)

Deciphering the code of LIFE — such as through biological genetic engineering — is one of the human behaviors that violates the natural Way. — (Xuefeng Corpus · Warning Chapter · What Human Behaviors Violate the Natural Way)
The biological genetic engineering that humanity is pursuing is, from a human perspective, a magnificent and breathtaking achievement. But from the perspective of the Greatest Creator's order, it is an extremely dangerous and wicked undertaking. The day will come when humanity pays a heavy price for it. — (Chanyuan Corpus · God Chapter · Eight Characteristics of the Greatest Creator · The Greatest Creator Is Benevolent)
VI. Cultural Genes: The Internalization of Cultivation¶
If one cannot walk strictly according to the Guide's Route Map, but merely reads the Chanyuan Corpus and Xuefeng Corpus as articles without letting their content permeate into the cultural genes, then the Chanyuan Celestial will ultimately remain only a human being and never become a celestial. — (Guide's Other Articles · 2025 · My Recent State of Mind)
