So What Exactly Are "the Values"?¶

Simply put: the Values of Lifechanyuan are the living philosophy of Lifechanyuan, expressed in the 800 Values for New Era Humanity — a book of 800 life principles.

But if you ask "what are they, really?", the primary source gives a wonderfully honest answer:

"The Values of Lifechanyuan seem to contain so much — yet also nothing at all. What they truly are, each must interpret for themselves and then apply flexibly."

That's not a dodge. It's saying: the Values are not rigid doctrine. They are a living tool — the more you use them, the more you get.

Where Do They Come From?¶

The primary source is clear: the Values are "the path to happiness transmitted by the Greatest Creator and all gods and Buddhas through Xuefeng to humanity."

Their mission is to help you do three things: 1. See the true nature of the cosmos (space, time, the antimatter world) 2. Understand the meaning of life (from origin to reincarnation, from levels to elevation) 3. Open your wisdom-eye, dharma-eye, and Buddha-eye — so you can tell the true from the false

In one sentence: they connect you directly to the source of life.

What Is the "Soul" of the 800 Values?¶

Not rules. Not discipline. The will of the Greatest Creator.

"The soul behind the 800 Values is the Greatest Creator — more precisely, the will of the Greatest Creator. 'Roaming freely according to one's free nature' is the will of the Greatest Creator in creating life. But as an awakened being, one must understand 'following the heart's desire without transgressing propriety,' just as a fish can swim freely in the water, but cannot go beyond the water — once separated from the water, the fish's journey is over."

True freedom is real freedom — but it is not aimless drifting. Keeping your consciousness in alignment with the Greatest Creator is what genuine free roaming looks like.

Why Are the Values "the Only Thing You Can Trust"?¶

The primary source runs through a long list: the United Nations, presidents, parents, children, spouses, lovers, the most loyal friends, wealth, beauty, learning, prestige…

For every single one, the answer is the same: not enough.

"The only thing one can trust is the Values of Lifechanyuan. They are the guarantee of our ability to obtain a joyful, happy, free, and blissful life, and the fundamental guarantee of our ability to extend our lives to the Thousand-Year World, the Ten-Thousand-Year World, or the Elysium Islands."

Why? Because people change, conditions change. Only the Values remain constant.

What's the Difference between Trusting and Upholding?¶

The primary source uses a vivid image:

"Trusting is merely seeing; upholding is actually experiencing. Like a large ripe peach: trusting is seeing the peach; upholding is tasting the peach with your own mouth."

Trusting = seeing the peach. Upholding = eating it.

You need both. Each enables the other.

The Values Are How You Recognize Your True Family¶

In Lifechanyuan, "who is family" is not determined by blood or by how long you've known someone — it is determined by the Values.

"Whoever upholds the Values is our true kin; whoever disregards the Values cannot be treated with excessive closeness."

"The moment someone abandons the Values, the bond of brotherhood, sisterhood, kinship, and love between us vanishes instantly."

That sounds harsh — but the logic is: only people who resonate with you in consciousness, spirit, and soul can genuinely bring you joy, happiness, freedom, and bliss. Personal ties fade. The Values hold.

One point Xuefeng returns to repeatedly: the Values are a navigation instrument for spiritual cultivation — not words to shout:

"The Values of Lifechanyuan are a navigation instrument for cultivation and refinement — not an anesthetic that lets people ride the clouds by shouting slogans. What exactly is cultivation? Cultivating slogans?"

Like a map: only useful when you actually follow it. Keeping it on a shelf, or reciting it aloud without walking, doesn't count as upholding.

The Values Need No Defense¶

A 2024 piece titled The Values Need No Defense opens with this:

"Truth needs no defense; only falsehood needs defense. A glass vase must be handled with the utmost care — but a diamond needs no care."

The message: you don't need to fight for the Values. Whether they are true is tested by the cosmos and filtered by time. The waves wash the sand away; gold settles naturally.

Uphold the Values and You Can Have Everything¶

One primary source lists item by item what the Values can bring: a warm community of brothers and sisters, sincere companions, an end to loneliness, care and comfort in old age, a new beginning when life seems hopeless…

And at the end:

"Do you want to enjoy thousands of years of celestial life in the Thousand-Year World? You can! Uphold the Values and live according to them, and you will understand everything about the Thousand-Year World. Your consciousness will quickly resonate with the celestials of the Thousand-Year World. When the time is ripe, you will go directly."

Believe it or not? Laozi already answered: the man of superior character earnestly practices the Tao; the man of inferior character laughs loudly at it. If he did not laugh, it would not be worth calling it Tao.
