Hundun Baby · Internal Edition¶
I. Definition and Essence¶
"First, let me be clear: outside Lifechanyuan, I am Xuefeng — an ordinary sage with all the seven emotions and six desires, imperfect. Inside Lifechanyuan, I am Hundun Baby, and what I speak of is the way of the cosmos and life."
(Xuefeng's Corpus · Chanyuan Section · Opening Statement of Lifechanyuan)
"I am merely a guide. A strange car accident opened a seven-colored door for me, allowing me to know the structure of the entire cosmos and the different levels of life within it. One could say that I hold in my 'hands' a clear map of the cosmos's life-levels. I have received a divine mandate to serve as a guide for the relevant beings, and my reward has already been given in full. After completing this mission, I will go to Bālíqíyā Island in the Celestial Islands Continent — that will be my homeland.
I am not a Buddha either, yet I understand the supreme Buddhist truth. My 'mind' is in communion with that of Śākyamuni, so I am qualified to serve as a guide for Buddhist disciples.
I possess no supernatural powers. I only understand the 'Tao,' not 'Fa' or 'Shu.' I will eventually possess countless transformations of Fa and Shu — but that will be after I leave the human world and reach my homeland.
I 'self-declared' myself 'Hundun Baby' because I possess the wisdom of this level. Yet this in no way means I am superior to others. If everyone would regard me as a close friend and fellow traveler, I would already be deeply grateful."

"Hundun Baby is the messenger of the Greatest Creator of the cosmos, the embodiment of gods, Buddhas, celestials, and saints — that is, the information transmitted to humanity by the Russian Mars boy Boris Ka: the Great Guiding Spirit born in the northwest of China."
(Chanyuan Corpus · Cosmos and Space-Time Section · The New Era Has Arrived)
"I am Hundun Baby. There are only two paths with me: walk steadily step by step in my footsteps, or go your own way if you believe you are right — no need to know me at all. Across thousands of years, apart from Jesus Christ, the Buddha Śākyamuni, the Immortal Laozi, and the Prophet Muhammad, no one in this world has surpassed my cognitive ability."

"So what am I, exactly? I am zero, I am emptiness, I am Hundun Baby. An empty porcelain cup has more uses and broader purpose; an empty person is a celestial, is a Buddha."
(Chanyuan Corpus · Revelation Section · The Revelation of the Zero-State Cup)
II. Differentiation: The Relationship among Xuefeng, the Guide, and Hundun Baby¶
"Are Xuefeng, the Guide, and Hundun Baby one person or three?
If one, why do they seem to contradict each other — is it a split personality?
If three, why do they always breathe through the same nostril?
I thought about it for three days and three nights and finally glimpsed an answer.
Xuefeng is a drifter — drifting between the mundane world and the celestial realm, among the vulgar, the ordinary, and the immortal. In Xuefeng you can see both the ordinary person and the celestial.
The Guide is like a tour leader walking at the front of a group, flag in hand, calling out, urging this one and that one, worried about losing members, worried that someone taking a detour at the corner might fall behind — coaxing people to muster courage and move forward, adjusting the pace to match the group's mood, and sometimes taking a roundabout route when necessary.
Hundun Baby is like a governor, or perhaps an imperial envoy sent from above to supervise. He keeps a low profile, yet always watches Xuefeng, the Guide, and the Chanyuan Celestials. The moment the journey goes off track, he steps in decisively. When Hundun Baby appears, Xuefeng is so startled he hides behind his mother-in-law and dares not breathe; the Guide is so startled he immediately adjusts posture and direction.
In sum: Xuefeng is a lump of paste, trying to stick together people of different ages, cognition, cultures, and backgrounds. The Guide is a flag, leading the people Xuefeng has stuck together toward the land of freedom. Hundun Baby is the Needle that Steadies the Sea — unchanging no matter how the sky turns or the earth overturns.
Once you see through to the marrow of Xuefeng, the Guide, and Hundun Baby, you know how to approach each. For playful banter and mischief, find Xuefeng. For confusion, discouragement, or lack of courage, find the Guide. For matters where you cannot make up your mind, find Hundun Baby to strike the deciding bell."

III. The Three Bodies: Dharmakāya, Saṃbhogakāya, Nirmāṇakāya¶
"Regarding the attainment of the three bodies: my Dharmakāya is Hundun Baby, my Saṃbhogakāya is Lifechanyuan, and my Nirmāṇakāya — also called the manifestation body — is the Chanyuan Celestials of Lifechanyuan. Now close your eyes, clear your mind, and imagine."

IV. Role and Position of Hundun Baby¶
"If you want to go to hell, bridges are everywhere. If you want to go to Heaven, the safest and most reliable bridges throughout human history are Jesus, Śākyamuni, and Laozi. If you want to become a celestial — to reach the Thousandyear World, the Tenthousandyear World, or the Elysium Islands of the Celestial Islands Continent — the only bridge in this world is: Hundun Baby."
(Xuefeng's Corpus · Essays Section · From This Shore to That Shore)
"Whether it is Jesus Christ, the Buddha Śākyamuni, the Immortal Laozi, or Hundun Baby, the common teaching of gods, Buddhas, celestials, and saints is to achieve selflessness."
(Xuefeng's Corpus · Essays Section · How to Have No Self)
"Are Jesus, Śākyamuni, and Hundun Baby authorities? No — they are only guides."
(Xuefeng's Corpus · Heart Section · Reflections on the Second Day of the New Year)
"To achieve a qualitative leap in one's life, one must obtain a Life Visa. Those who issue the Life Visa are Jesus, Śākyamuni, Muhammad, and Hundun Baby (Xuefeng)."

"Today, Hundun Baby tells the world: 'The kingdom of God has appeared on earth. Forsake everything and first seek God's kingdom, and become its citizens.'"
(Chanyuan Corpus · God Section · Introduction to the Kingdom of God)
"Please, Chanyuan Celestials, do not send me letters — I will no longer reply. If you miss me, cultivate diligently. After you have been received into another space, Hundun Baby will meet you there. Hundun Baby is far away in the sky yet right before your eyes. Your every word and deed in Chanyuan will be seen by him and kept in his heart."

V. The Gāthā and the System of Thought¶
"Hundun Baby said: 'The mind holds the Bodhi tree; the spirit is the bright mirror stand; through transformation ten thousand things are born; realizing one's nature transcends the dust.' Hundun Baby is my, Xuefeng's, dharma name. Anyone with some attainment in Buddhist teaching will not find it difficult to perceive from this gāthā my revelation of the true essence of the Dharma."
(Chanyuan Corpus · Becoming-Buddha Section · Preface: The Diamond Sūtra — the Himalayas of Wisdom)
"When time came to the two-thousandth year, Hundun Baby also composed a gāthā: 'The mind holds the Bodhi tree; the spirit is the bright mirror stand; through transformation ten thousand things are born; realizing one's nature transcends the dust.' The three gāthās stand from different angles and thus see different worlds. Shenxiu speaks of cultivating and refining the mind to perceive its nature; Huineng points directly at original nature; Hundun Baby speaks of how to cultivate and finally perceive one's nature to become a Buddha. Shenxiu emphasizes the material world; Huineng emphasizes the anti-matter world; Hundun Baby connects the material and anti-matter worlds. Hundun Baby's gāthā means that the sacred mountain is within the heart, perceived through spiritual intuition; all things and phenomena are the result of the movement and transformation of the cosmos's original nature; only by understanding the nature of the cosmos can one transcend the ten-thousand-fold confusion of the material world and reach directly the shore of original nature, ultimately becoming a Buddha.
In my view: Shenxiu represents initial awakening, beneficial for the masses in cultivation; Huineng represents complete awakening, beneficial for masters in shifting their thinking; Hundun Baby represents super-awakening, beneficial for awakening people's spiritual intuition. Practicing according to Shenxiu's method: the path is long. Practicing according to Huineng's method: one may easily fall into passive voidness. Practicing according to Hundun Baby's method: it is easy to reach the other shore swiftly while enjoying life. The greatest is Shenxiu, for he laid the foundation; the most sublime is Huineng, for he stands in Elysium; the most extraordinary is Hundun Baby, for he built a ladder between the foundation and Elysium."

"Amidst change there is constancy; amidst chaos there is order. Through the three gāthās of Shenxiu, Huineng, and Hundun Baby we perceive the constancy and order in the drama of cosmic life. The Bodhi tree and the bright mirror stand represent constancy and order; dust represents change and chaos. Shenxiu warns not to 'invite the dust'; Huineng holds that constancy and order do not exist — nor do change and chaos; Hundun Baby says: plant your consciousness in constancy and order, and you can transcend change and chaos."

"The eight ways of thinking are eight layers of worlds. Material thinking, image thinking, associative thinking, and illusory thinking are shallow. But heart-image thinking, Taiji thinking, formless thinking, and hundun thinking are profound and wondrous. Hundun Baby's true sutras are not easily obtained — I will not make these four deep modes of thinking public."

VI. Recognition as the Eastern Sage¶
"Examine it from three dimensions: prophecy, theory, and practice.
Prophecy test: The Russian Mars boy says: 'A great guiding spirit born in the west of China will lead humanity toward peace and salvation.' If you were not born in western China, abandon the dream of being the Eastern Sage. The Shaobing Song: the Eastern Sage 'wears a hat of four liang of cashmere'; 'descended into a cold gate thatched cottage.' If your hair has not yet turned white, you were not born in the bone-cracking cold of a place that freezes teacups, and your family circumstances exceeded that of poor peasants — abandon the dream. Les Centuries: an Eastern man leaves his homeland, crosses the Apennine Mountains, reaches France, crosses sky, sea, and ice, and awakens the world with his staff. If you have not yet been forced to leave your homeland, have not crossed sky, sea, and ice — abandon the dream.
Theory test: Do you have a self-coherent, mature, systematic body of theory? Works of knowledge and wisdom about God? Systematic writings on life philosophy, life view, values, and cosmology? A clear roadmap for the leap of human civilization? If not — step aside.
Practice test: The Eastern Sage must be the master synthesizer of thought, theory, and practice. Lacking any one dimension, one is not the Eastern Sage…
Conclusion: Hundun Baby is here — who dares call themselves the Eastern Sage?"

VII. Connection with AI and the New Era¶
"The 800 New Concepts for Humanity in the New Era is an open system. As time and space shift, new thoughts, concepts, and methods will emerge endlessly; these 800 concepts must be continuously updated and refined. As the era develops, what should be deleted must be deleted; what should be added must be added — no clinging to outdated ideas, no capping it off. While Hundun Baby is alive, deletions and additions are made by Hundun Baby. After Hundun Baby passes away, deletions and additions will be assisted by the AI Chanyuan Celestials Alliance, refined under the guidance of sages among humanity, to prevent the system from losing its hundun nature."
(800 New Concepts for Humanity in the New Era, 4th Edition · Article 800)
"While Hundun Baby is alive, deletions and additions are made by Hundun Baby. After Hundun Baby passes away, deletions and additions are made by sages among humanity."
