The Grand Door To The Heavens Has Opened, But How Many People Will Enter?
(Clearwisdom.net) During the spring festival in China, people are
usually busy exchanging gifts or giving each other money and visiting their
relatives and friends. Although there is no physical labor, people often feel
even more tired than usual. It seems that they are always focused on earning
their bread or spending their savings. When sitting down calmly to think it
over, they can hardly see the reason behind it. I had a dream during the Mid-autumn festival in August: an invisible
tremendous force transformed the mountains into a flood. In between the water
and sky, people were crying and screaming for help. At that moment, there came a
grand boat from the distance. Beautiful music came from the boat. People on the
boat kept throwing fine silky string to rescue people in the water. Some were
buoyantly pulled up whereas other heavy ones were unable to make it. Some did
not believe that such tiny strings were strong enough to sustain their weight
and they then drowned. A tiny string was thrown to me too. I grabbed it and
cried out: "I have hope to be saved!" My shouting woke up my family
and myself. Then I realized it was a dream, yet I could not fall back to sleep. During the next morning, I found a plastic bag when I was taking a walk in my
front yard. I picked it up and found it contained a DVD and materials that
explained the facts about Falun Gong. The music playing on the DVD was exactly
the same music that I had heard from the boat in my dream. From the DVD, the
phrases from the Plum Blossom Poem "the grand door to the heavens has
opened, but how many people can enter" shocked me like a powerful electric
shock going through my mind and body. My tears gushed out for no reason. After I
read the materials and watched the DVD twice, I had many questions: why is Falun
Gong persecuted in China whereas it gains thousands of awards abroad? Why does
it have such miraculous effects after practicing it? I remember that one
philosopher said: "Sometimes it seems strange in this human world. People
tend to neglect precious things and casually criticize them. They do not know
how to treasure things. They badly regret it once they miss the chance." I
would rather believe it than just ignore it or pretend nothing happened. The opportunity now arrives and will never come back. Since Falun Gong
practitioners delivered the DVD and other materials to me for free, they must be
waiting for my awakening. In fact, they did even more than that after I
contacted them. They selflessly sent me the book Zhuan Falun and other
Falun Dafa lectures that Teacher gave all over the world. The principles are
profound yet easy to understand. My heart entered a brand new dimension where I
was exposed to new sentences and terms that I had never heard before. The
principles were clearly explained. It truly is what Teacher has written, "Dafa is being spread far and wide. Those who hear about it are
looking for it. Those who have obtained it are delighted with it. The number
of cultivators is increasing daily and becoming countless."
("Seeking Discipleship with Teacher" from Falun Dafa Essentials
For Further Advancement) I came to enlighten that as Falun Gong practitioners clarify the truth and
send truth-clarification materials to others it is like an invisible golden
string that threads together thousands of families and all sentient beings. They
are telling us that if we assimilate to the universal principles, we will be
reborn. The new realms and new dimensions are bound to manifest to us. They
clearly realize that money can only help temporarily whereas Falun Dafa can help
with everything. Clarifying the truth is to eliminate the confusion and guide
sentient beings to a bright future. February 13, 2004 |
