"Clarify the truth thoroughly, eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts, save all beings, and safeguard the Fa with determination" (Dafa is Indestructible) Announcing the Pure Insight Website: A Call for Articles The PureInsight website (pureinsight.org) is intended to pave the way for the
human civilization of the new era, and, at the same time, to make Dafa
practitioners' understandings of life, the human body and the universe evident
to everyday people. We all know legends that describe how the Gods created
heaven and earth, and how they created humankind from earth. We have heard the
legends of how fire making and writing were given as gifts from Gods...There are
many such legends. But all of them belong to the history of the past. As Master
Li said in his "Lecture at the Conference in New Zealand", "But
humankind in the future will not know about the Dafa and me. People will pass it
down as a legend for many years to come, just like fairy tales that people will
tell for ages. They will also remember the serious lessons that are left to
humans when living beings at this level are repositioned in the end." Dafa
disciples are all cultivators. A PureInsight website full of articles from Dafa
disciples should leave a legacy that is both beautiful and pure for the people
of the future.
Therefore, PureInsight and Zhengjian (correct or true understanding,
the Chinese language sister website) have to be true and uncorrupted and have to
deserve to be left behind for the people of the future. But everything that is
human, everything that has occurred throughout the human history, and even many
various cultivation methods are all deformed. The only things brand new are the
righteous thoughts, wisdom and supernormal abilities that Dafa practitioners
have developed as they cultivate themselves in Dafa. Anything that is obtained
as a part of cultivation within Dafa can be published on the PureInsight. It is
not to say that we cannot use anything that exists in today's society. We can
still use positive examples and facts. But we need to be careful and make sure
that they are used to validate the points of views of Dafa disciples and not to
spread or preach the old ideas. We also need to pay attention to the angles from
which we choose to apply them.
Science is something that has to be learned. It needs to be validated,
rationalized, and discussed. There is already something wrong with this picture.
That is not the way it should be; it has already deviated from the truth. But
true understanding is not like that. After a being has been rectified as a part
of the Fa-rectification process, he can automatically see the truth in its
entirety. When that truth is presented, it is naturally a true understanding or
a "pure insight."
In its first few weeks, most of the articles posted on PureInsight were
translated from Zhengjian, and we will continue to post worthy articles from our
Chinese language sister website. As more and more English-speaking practitioners
advance in their cultivation and come to the PureInsight website, however, their
contributions should increase. Practitioners can start from their own smallest
understandings about life and the universe when they write articles for
PureInsight. There are no rules governing the content of a PureInsight article.
Do not be restricted by the different subcategories of the website. Talk about a
single principle that you have been enlightened or a small improvement in your
mind and body! Talk about your thoughts about how the future civilization,
society or moral standard should be! Write down what you have seen, what you have
felt, and what you have thought in your cultivation. Every single article is just
like a small drop of water. With enough drops of water, an entire ocean can be
formed. The articles for PureInsight should not be "requested." They
should be "delivered." As long as every single particle realizes from
the bottom of his own heart what the position and purpose of PureInsight is, the
website will naturally become a place for Dafa practitioners to help create the
new science and the new civilization of the future. As Dafa particles, using the
wisdom given to us by Dafa to create new science and new civilization are our
undeniable duties.
The entire human society is deformed. Certain things can easily be seen to be
evil. There are also other things that appear to be good and kind on the surface
but are actually deformed as well. Those are hard to detect. Master Li said,
"Everything in the environment that today's humankind lives in is impure (unofficial
translation)." Even though every single practitioner has a part that
has cultivated well and has developed his own true understanding from his
cultivation, we still live among everyday people and have parts that are
contaminated without our knowing about them. Articles in PureInsight could help
us see the deformities in everything around us, including ourselves.
Master Li said in the "Lecture at the US East Coast Conference",
"Because of our cultivation and Fa-study environment, things discussed and
words uttered among students when they get together are noble and benevolent. It
is the purest environment and is hard to find--it's very hard to find in human
society. It is the most benevolent and most magnificent piece of pure land.
Therefore, you must not lose this environment. Because human society continues
to decline, it's getting worse and worse. You all have a job in this ordinary
human society, or you have social activities--all of you have contact with
everyday people and the ordinary human society. Consequently, what you see and
hear, intentionally or unintentionally, is all associated with matters of
everyday people. This would interfere with your cultivation. So it will be
beneficial if you regularly study the Fa together and often use this basin of
fresh water to cleanse yourselves."
We ask all the practitioners to participate in the Fa rectification process
by supporting the PureInsight website, and build it into a website that records
the deformities that exist in today's civilization and works to create a new
civilization. At the same time, we hope the website will be like a Fa conference
that helps all the practitioners to share their experiences and elevate
themselves.
