Cherishing Our Opportunities and Resources; Going All Out to Offer Salvation to Sentient Beings (Part III)

7. Master has told us, "So the specifics of the things you're doing are different but the division of roles is orderly; together there's a form, and separated there are particles;" (Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference) However, fellow practitioners in some area over emphasized "together there's a form." They built big Falun Dafa truth clarifying materials production centers; as a result they increased risk unnecessarily and let the evil take advantage of their omissions. By contrast, fellow practitioners in some other areas, especially in bigger cities, over- emphasized, "separated, there are particles." They did not cooperate very well; some even did not trust each other. As a result, they could not work effectively as a whole body. There are no titles in Dafa cultivation. Each one of us is a coordinator and leader. I could feel that the old forces are systematically interfering with our cooperation so that we could not effectively and efficiently utilize our limited financial and human resources in this limited period of Fa-rectification. The old forces are trying to interrupt us in order to stop people from learning the truth, or stop us from clarifying the truth, from sending forth righteous thoughts, or from printing truth-clarifying materials. I hope those fellow practitioners who are capable and have the financial or human resources will not let the old forces take advantage of your omissions. Please, step forward and join the Fa-rectification process! Though the old forces are not capable of interruption or further persecution on a large scale, before being eliminated, they have never stopped their efforts to interfere! They made fellow practitioners spend money unnecessarily on personal items rather than use the limited resources on Fa-clarification work. We should be alert to this kind of issue so that we could make the best use of our limited resources. We no longer have the attachment of the time we will reach Consummation. Rather, we all feel the responsibility and urgency of offering salvation to people within this limited time. When being asked whether Dafa practitioners could open businesses to make money for Dafa use, Master told us, "Some people say, "I'm making plans to make a large amount of money so that later on it can be used for the Fa. That far-off water might not quench the immediate thirst, ..." (Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference) What we need the most now are tools to offer salvation, such as truth-clarifying materials and software to break through the Internet blockade. We should spend our limited time and resources where they are needed the most, yet balance our relationships to society, our families and work. We should not go to extremes. Finally, let's review together the following of Master's teachings, "Those who haven't done well should think carefully about these things, and be sure not to take Master's mercy lightly. You don't have to believe me; you can go about things your own way. But I have repeatedly said that the fact that such a major thing has come about in human society, that such a massive number of people have done all that they have in society, and the fact that the Fa that I, Li Hongzhi, have taught is something that people throughout the ages always wanted to know about and wanted to obtain but couldn't, (applause) none of these things are by chance. Think it over calmly. Those who haven't done well, make sure you don't destroy your eternal life because of your irrationality and human attachments." (Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference)
