My Resonance with Lifechanyuan Kaer Celestial 卡尔草
As young children, we each develop our own concepts of how people and things relate to each other and how they function as a whole. Later, as we grow and become indoctrinated with the norms of our societies, we become "educated" away from those pure concepts. It is rare that one will ever be reminded of those early feelings much later in life with clear evidence that they are perfectly valid. 当我们还是孩童的时候，我们每个人都会形成自己关于人和事是如何相互关联，以及他们如何作为一个整体发挥作用的概念。后来，随着我们的成长和被社会规范的灌输，我们被教导得远离了那些纯粹的概念。很少有人会在人生的后期重新被唤起早期那种感受，而这些感受有清晰的证据来证明它们是完全正确的。
When I began reading and editing the Guide, Xuefeng's work, long-abandoned but never forgotten memories filled my mind. A few of these readings have not fullyresonated with me but so many of them have that I have continued working for this community and look forward to the time when I can join it physically.
当我开始对导游雪峰的作品进行阅读和编辑的时候， 一些很早以前就被放弃然而却从未被遗忘的记忆开始充满了我的脑子。其中有些部分并没有完全引起我的共鸣， 但是有很多内容令我愿意持续地为生命禅院的社区工作，并期盼着在适当的时机能加入其中。
1.The problem with secular communism is that it places the people in opposition to their heavy-handed government in very many ways; by merging spirituality with communism, that opposition is done away with completely. The carrot works; the stick does not. 世俗意义上的共产主义的问题在于，它总是在很多方面把人们置于强权政府的对立面，而生命禅院通过灵性与共产主义的融合， 使这种对立的局面被消除了。胡萝卜起作用了， 大棒没有。
2. The core values of reverence for nature, reverence for life, and reverence for the life force of the universe or multiverse is a wonderful life philosophy. I add that all sentient life enjoys self possession and is not to benefit me at their expense. 敬畏自然， 敬畏生命， 敬畏宇宙和多重宇宙的生命力是这里的核心价值观，这是一种美妙的生命哲学。 我想补充的是所有有觉知的生命都喜欢为自己占有点什么， 不会以他们自己为代价来造福我。
3. The respect that everyone in the community has for each other is wonderful and most who become incompatible can be punished by being made to feel uncomfortable and wanting to leave. This life is exemplified perfectly by the parable of the long spoons. 社区成员之间相互尊重， 这种状态真的很美妙。大部分感觉自己不能融入的人，会因为感到不舒服而想离开，这就是社区内的淘汰和处罚机制。这种生活是长勺子寓言中的典型案例。（注：长勺子的寓言：一位行善的人，临终时想见天堂与地狱究竟有何差异，于是天使就先带他到地狱去参观。到了地狱，他看到了一张很大的餐桌，桌上摆满了丰盛的佳肴，地狱的生活看起来还不错嘛。天使说你先不用急，再继续看下去。过了一会，用餐的时间到了，只见一群瘦骨如柴的饿鬼入座。每个人手上拿着一把长十几尺的勺子。可是由于勺子实在是太长了，最后每个人都吃不到。我再带你到天堂看看。到了天堂，同样的情景，同样的满桌佳肴，每个人同样用一把长十几尺的长勺子。不同的是，围着餐桌吃饭的人们，他们也同用同样的勺子吃饭，不同的是，他们都在喂对面的人吃。而对方也喂他们吃。因此每个人都吃得很愉快。）
4. As all celestials live for the sublimation of their soul gardens and LIVEs, Lifechanyuan's societal structure is such that no celestial who accepts its values would ever place their own luxury and ease of living above that of any other community member regardless of what their job might be. The community is truly classless. 由于所有的常住禅院草都是为了升华他们的心灵花园和生命品质，在生命禅院的社区的内部，任何接受其理念的禅院草，无论其从事的工作是什么， 都不能将自己的奢侈品味和生活便利置于任何其他社区成员的水准之上，这个社区是真正的无阶级的。
5. Nothing found on the road is kept and doors are not locked at night; personal living spaces are sacred and never entered into without their resident's permission. 社区内的确做到了“道不拾遗，夜不闭户”。个人的生活空间是神圣的，未经居民的许可是不得进入的。
6. Understanding that everyone in the community works for the same goal and only celebrates holidays that glorify nature is pure social glue as is knowing that the food is grown locally and is pure and delicious. 我明白了社区内每个人的工作都是为了同一个目标，仅庆祝与自然有关的节日，欢庆活动纯粹是一种社区成员社交生活的纽带，社区内的食物都是本地栽种的绿色无污染的食品， 还非常可口。
7. Having everything but owning nothing is a carefree lifestyle with no concerns for guarding one's private possessions from their neighbors. “一无所有但是拥有一切”是一种无忧无虑的生活方式， 人们不用再为了怕邻居觊觎他们的财物而操心防范了。
8. Of course, in order to not risk damage to the entire community, no societal laws, rules, or infractions are ever allowed. 当然， 为了不让整个社区冒风险， 不允许任何违反社会法律、法规的事情存在。
I expect to awaken some day in Lifechanyuan’s New Oasis for Life or in a reality that is very, very similar.
我期盼着有一天能在生命禅院的生命绿洲中苏醒，或者在一个非常非常相似的现实中醒来。
