Following Causes Freely · Roaming at Ease

Following Causes Freely · Roaming at Ease (随缘放旷·任运逍遥, suí yuán fàng kuàng · rèn yùn xiāo yáo) is the defining expression of the Celestial Path in the Lifechanyuan system — flowing with circumstances without attachment, living spontaneously without constraint, free from both suffering and rules, as carefree as an infant and as fluid as water. Guide Xuefeng identifies this as the essential quality that distinguishes the Celestial Path from Buddhism, Christianity, and ordinary human ethics, and marks it as the second milestone in the "Three-Step Path to Becoming a Celestial Being."

If we find life exhausting, we are far from the Celestial Path. If we grow ever more joyful, free, and at ease, we are drawing near.
