International Family · Accessible Version¶
Not the United Nations. Not an international organization. Not any country. A home without borders.
I. One Sentence to Make It Clear¶
The core of the International Family is this:
The International Family has no national distinctions. People of all ethnicities, religions, political parties, and groups across the world are indispensable members of the International Family. Every person is a citizen deserving of respect, care, sympathy, and compassion; every LIFE is precious and worth cherishing.
The simplest version: You are a citizen of the Earth — not of any one country.
"Every citizen on Earth should regard themselves as a citizen of the Earth — not as a citizen of any one nation."
II. Why Does the International Family Need to Exist?¶
Because humanity is facing crises on three levels:
- Financial collapse: economic systems fracturing
- Ecological breakdown: climate change, environmental destruction, species extinction
- War and conflict: regional warfare, civilizational clashes, fear and distrust
And all three crises share one root cause:
"The core of every crisis is a crisis of the heart-mind."
Treating symptoms — fixing the head when it hurts, the foot when it hurts — will never reach the root. Only a deep purification of the heart-mind, only human beings releasing the narrow framework of "my country / my ethnicity / my religion," can turn crisis into safety.
III. How Is the International Family Different from a Traditional Family?¶
A traditional family: bound by blood, with lines of closeness and distance, walls of inside and outside.
The International Family: bound by heart-mind. Sharing fortune; sharing hardship. Wherever you come from.
"Traditional marriage and the small family unit are absolutely the root of human suffering and the source from which every form of crisis, contradiction, and conflict springs."
The International Family is not an enlarged version of the traditional family. It replaces a fundamental mode of human living with something entirely new.
IV. How to Join? Four Criteria¶
Regardless of your ethnicity, your faith, or your culture — if you can meet the following four criteria:
- You are willing to dedicate your time, energy, talent, and wisdom to the International Family
- You agree with and are willing to follow the New Era Human 800 Concepts
- When any member of the International Family faces hardship, you are willing to help them without compensation
- You are willing to live communally and to share fortune and face hardship together
— you may apply to become a member of the International Family.
Eco-communities, spiritual communities, consensus communities, and other groups may also apply collectively to join as a whole.
V. What Happens After Joining?¶
When 256 homes are established around the world, members will:
- Be free from the burdens of food, clothing, shelter, transportation, aging, illness, and death
- Share resources with International Family members worldwide
- Travel freely among 256 homes across the globe
- Live in communities that are "fragrant with flowers, melodious with birdsong, peaceful and content"
- Experience: joy, happiness, freedom, and blessing
And beyond the human realm:
Members of the International Family will enjoy yet another great blessing: when the time comes to leave the human world, they will be received one by one into the Kingdom of Heaven — the Thousand-Year World, the Ten-Thousand-Year World, the Elysium World and its Celestial Islands Continent — to continue enjoying long, even eternal freedom and happiness.
The International Family is not only a home on Earth. It is a passage to the Kingdom of Heaven.
VI. How Long Has This Vision Been Growing?¶
"This bud has been gestating for more than 2,500 years and has finally broken through the soil."
From Confucius's vision of Great Harmony (大同), to Marx's communism, to the utopian experiments of Owen and Fourier, to Lifechanyuan's founding of the Second Home — this vision runs through every sincere exploration in human history. Today, for the first time, it has found a concrete, practicing form.
