Life Oasis Three Maxims: Simple, Frugal, Steadfast

The three maxims — Simple (简 jiǎn), Frugal (俭 jiǎn), and Steadfast (坚 jiān) — are the guiding principles that Lifechanyuan's guide Xuefeng distilled for daily life in the Life Oasis (Second Home). Together they form a practical code: strip away unnecessary complexity, release attachment to material excess, and build every action on solid inner ground. The aim is a life so unburdened that the Heart Sutra's promise becomes lived reality: "No hindrance in the mind; no hindrance, therefore no fear; far beyond all delusive thinking, here is Nirvana."
