A Worry-Free Life (Friendly Version)¶
A plain-language introduction: what the Three Treasures are, and why they work.
Why Are We Always Worried?¶
Most of us spend enormous energy worrying: Will I have enough money? Will my health hold out? Will the people I love be okay? What does the future hold? Even people on a spiritual path often find themselves hesitating, second-guessing, and anxious about what lies ahead.
Guide Xuefeng of Lifechanyuan says: all of this has a solution. The solution is Three Treasures.
The Three Treasures¶
The three treasures of a worry-free life: firm faith in the Greatest Creator, belief in cause and effect, and wholeheartedly doing one's best in everything.
— New Era Human 800 Concepts, 4th edition, Concept 43
Treasure One: Firm Faith in the Greatest Creator¶
Have you ever stopped to marvel at how precisely the human body works? A mother's milk doesn't arrive until days after her child is born — exactly when it's needed. Eyebrows curve in exactly the right shape to shield the eyes. Every aspect of the human body is exquisitely designed.
Xuefeng's point is simple: this didn't happen by accident. The Greatest Creator designed all of this — which means the Greatest Creator is watching over us. And if the one who made us is watching over us, then anxious worrying about the future is unnecessary.
We need not worry or fret about our future lives — we need only live naturally according to the program the Greatest Creator designed, and we will be free of worry.
Faith in the Greatest Creator is the deepest form of security.
Treasure Two: Belief in Cause and Effect¶
"As you sow, so shall you reap." Karma is the universe's most reliable law.
When you believe in cause and effect, something shifts: setbacks no longer feel like random attacks from the universe — they become understandable outcomes of earlier causes. And when you act with kindness, you can trust that kindness will return, even if not immediately.
Xuefeng puts it this way:
So long as you do not harm nature and all living beings, do not harm others and society, treat all things with kindness, then all things will treat you with kindness — what is there to worry about?
Belief in karma gives you a foundation: doing good is never a waste.
Treasure Three: Wholeheartedly Doing One's Best¶
"Do what lies in your power, then leave the rest to Heaven."
The third treasure is about the relationship between effort and outcome. Your job is to do your best — fully, completely, without holding back. What happens after that is not yours to control.
Xuefeng describes it:
In all things, if you have done your wholehearted best, there is nothing to worry about.
Think of a gardener who prepares the soil, plants the seeds, waters them faithfully, and then waits. She has done everything within her power. Whether this season brings abundance or scarcity is a matter for nature and the cosmos to decide — not for her to lose sleep over.
The Result: Wind and Waves, Unbothered¶
Xuefeng sums up the promise:
With these Three Treasures in hand, one can "let the wind and waves howl as they please — I stroll at ease through my own courtyard." One will be free of worry about food, clothing, shelter, aging, sickness, and death, and free of worry about the future. If one remains steadfast throughout life, one reaches the Celestial Realm.
This isn't passive resignation. It's the confidence of someone who understands how the universe actually works: I am cared for, I am guided by karma, I have done my part. That understanding is what dissolves worry — not denial of difficulty, but a clear-eyed trust in the cosmic order.
In Hard Times, Too¶
In 2017, when Lifechanyuan's community went through its most difficult period, Xuefeng wrote simply:
Right now I am making no other choice — I can only proceed according to the Three Treasures of a Worry-Free Life.
The Three Treasures aren't a fair-weather philosophy. They're what's left when everything else falls away — and they're enough.
