Solemn Declarations: Rectify Ourselves

(Clearwisdom.net)

Solemn Declaration

After reading Master's "Lecturing on and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference" my heart was greatly shaken, and I deeply felt regret for the dirty deeds I've done. I'm determined to eliminate the unrighteousness and degeneration in myself.

In the past when I did something wrong, even though I felt compunction and blamed myself, I always thought that Master was merciful and Master would forgive me if I did well next time. With this dirty mentality and the idea of leaving things to chance, those bad things in my mind found an excuse, and when I still did not do well the next time I would keep the same mentality, thinking that I would do well next time...Now I deeply understand that this is not only a matter of whether I have let go of my attachments or not, but merely an excuse by the degenerate dirty things in my mind to protect themselves. It is not only that I have brought shame on Dafa, but also shows that I did not treat Dafa seriously. Most serious of all is that I did not show respect to Master and I have treated Master's mercy as a trifling matter. I have awakened. Thank you Master for your merciful salvation. Thank you Master for giving me another opportunity to cleanse myself.

My Solemn Declaration

I'm a Dafa practitioner. In my earlier cultivation, I did not conduct myself according to the requirements of the Fa and sometimes I failed to study the Fa with a calm mind, and even became too lazy to do the exercises. Because I did not let go of my attachments and was interfered with by thought karma, I did things that were unworthy of the title of a Dafa disciple. I feel deep regret about the sinful deeds I committed. I'm not worthy of Master's merciful salvation, and I have let down the sentient beings, who have placed immense hope in me. I'm not worthy of being a human, let alone being a Dafa disciple.

I now solemnly declare that all of what I said and did in the past that did not conform to Dafa are null and void. If my faults, my attachments or the fact that I did not cultivate well have caused the destruction of numerous sentient beings, then I would never forgive myself. I must not destroy myself, nor should I destroy others. I must be responsible for myself and be worthy of Master's merciful salvation. I have realized that I have come to attain the Fa, to assimilate to the Fa and to save sentient beings. Master is still waiting for me, waiting for me to examine myself, waiting for me to become diligent and waiting for me to become a qualified Dafa disciple! I'm determined to make up for my mistakes and for the loss I have caused to Dafa.

From now on, I will do well the three things that Master has required us to do. I will study the Fa with a calm mind every day, practice the exercises every day, improve my xinxing, purify my thoughts and let go of all my attachments. I will commit myself wholeheartedly and cultivate wholeheartedly. I will strengthen my main consciousness and completely negate the arrangements of the old forces, including all the hidden thought karma, and while I do well in personal cultivation, I will do more and do well in truth clarification and save all beings that can be saved, because such an opportunity will never come again and time is truly pressing. Master used to say, "Once the illusion that you cannot let go of disappears, you will realize what you have lost." ("Practicing Cultivation After Retirement" from Essentials for Further Advancement) ?

Solemn Declaration

I will never forget the summer of 1997, because that was the only short time when I treated myself as a cultivator! When autumn and winter came, I could not get up, and when I became lax, I seldom participated in activities at the practice site. I was lax in discipline and cultivated half-heartedly. What was more shameful was that I did not even know about the event on April 25! I only learned about it from my mother later. On July 20, 1999 the only thing I did was to go downstairs to do the exercises once to indicate my position! After that I distributed some materials, but later, I never took Dafa to heart! In fact, I became an everyday person, and in the end I was not even worthy of an everyday person!

Not long after I got married I fell in love with someone else, and consequently divorced my husband. I have kept a relationship with my boyfriend until now without being married. I was not rational at the time, and it demonstrated the demonic nature in me. When all this was happening, Master dropped hints to me again and again, but I was so deeply lost that I had no rationality at all. Later, I became even worse.

For a long time I often cried when I was alone, feeling extremely miserable. I felt deep regret. What could I do? I have to pay for the karma I created. Sometimes, I thought of restarting cultivation practice, but when I thought that I had done so many wrong things, I doubted if I still could cultivate. This doubt has been bothering me all along.

The fact is that Master did not give up on me! Otherwise I would not have been able to read Master's Fa lecture on April 20. I'm sure Master did not give up on me! Hereby I solemnly declare that I have done wrong things that have caused damage to the Fa in the past. From now on, I will thoroughly reform myself, hurry up and steadfastly cultivate. I will strictly conduct myself according to what Master has taught us! Master, I know I was wrong. I will cherish the last chance!

Solemn Declaration

I attained Dafa in 1994, but I never worked hard in cultivation, and degenerated to a person worse than an ordinary person. I am not worthy of being a human, and have done many dirty and ulterior things, including the things in "Ten Evils in the World." [One of Master's poem] In the end, people around me did not know or totally forgot that I had cultivated Dafa before. Also, I was too ashamed to mention it. My personal life has been a mess.

With Master's help, I picked up Zhuan Falun again this March. I decided to break with my past, and try my best to catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification. I regret and feel ashamed of what I have done in the past, which damaged the image of a Dafa practitioner. I finally have come to understand the basic meaning of being a cultivator. I want to make every effort and cultivate genuinely and with a firm belief. I am prepared to pay off my karma. Meanwhile, I will do as other practitioners and contribute my efforts in Fa-rectification. I will never change until death.

Solemn Declaration

Because I didn't give up attachment(s), I became irrational and did things a Dafa practitioner absolutely cannot and should not do, although I clearly knew I should never do them; I stained Dafa's reputation as well as my Fa-rectification cultivation. I didn't do what a Dafa practitioner is supposed to do, and my regrets and anguish are beyond description. Master was benevolent and gave me an opportunity to correct my mistakes. I will redouble my efforts to give up all human attachments, and take solid steps throughout Fa-rectification cultivation. Thank you so much, Master, for giving me a second opportunity to correct my mistakes!

Solemn Announcement

After reading Master's scripture "Lecturing on and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference," my heart was shaken. I felt Master's magnificent benevolence and I terribly regretted the unforgivable mistakes I made!

Because I was attached to sentiment and didn't make diligent progress, I didn't conduct myself strictly according to Dafa's standards. I ignored Master's teachings and prompting and did things that are unworthy of a "Dafa practitioner." When I first thought about it, I often blamed myself and regretted. Gradually, I was afraid to read the Fa or think about Master or Dafa. However, I didn't realize it was my thought karma that was interfering with me, and I didn't consciously break through it even when I realized it. Because I didn't continue to study the Fa, my xinxing dropped drastically and I unconsciously gave up cultivation. Sometimes when I remembered it, I truly wanted to begin a second time, but after a while I became numb and indifferent. Again and again I did things that are even despicable for a human being. I know Master did not give up on me, and sometimes I knew Master was prompting me; however, I always felt I wasn't worthy of being Master's disciple.

Now, Master has woke me up! Thank you, Master, for your benevolence! Hereby I solemnly declare: I will change completely and truly become a Dafa disciple according to the Fa's requirement.

Solemn Declaration

I am a Dafa practitioner in Europe. Because I didn't have a deep understanding of the Fa, my cultivation wasn't solid and I didn't make diligent progress. I did things a Dafa practitioner shouldn't do and stained Dafa's reputation. After reading Master's scripture "Lecturing on and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference," I was deeply touched. I knew what I did was unworthy of a Dafa practitioner, and I deeply regret it. My regret is hard to express in words. I fell heavily, and now I will stand up and correct my mistakes, become a Dafa practitioner again and take solid steps on my own path.

Thank you, Master, for your benevolent salvation; thank you Master for giving me the opportunity to become a Dafa practitioner again. From now on, I will do well on every step of the way and do well in the three things required of Dafa practitioners. Master, please don't worry.
