By a Dafa disciple in China

(Clearwisdom.net) Teacher clearly taught us in Zhuan Falun: "There is no precondition for practicing cultivation, and one should practice cultivation if one wants to." I understand that with no conditions attached, we must believe in Dafa with a righteous mind. If you want to cultivate, then you have to believe in Dafa with a righteous mind. Believing in Dafa with a righteous mind originates in determination towards Dafa from the root of one's life and from a firm belief in Dafa with no conditions attached.

Regarding the Fa that Teacher taught us, we do not use any mentality or everyday people's notions to measure and judge the Fa. No matter whether or not we can accept and comprehend the Fa in our own cultivation, we must steadfastly believe in Dafa. No matter how many tribulations one has encountered, one should steadfastly believe in Dafa and continue one's cultivation until the attainment of Consummation. For instance, we have seen that many Dafa disciples have stepped forward to validate Dafa and clarify the truth, and some were illegally detained and sentenced to forced labor camps, and some were even persecuted to death or became disabled. Still we should steadfastly believe in Teacher and in the Fa. When we are truly able to do so, Teacher and the Gods guarding the Fa will help us unconditionally.

I had a personal experience and understanding in this regard. A practitioner should not only put into practice the part of the Fa that he or she can accept and comprehend, but one should also act according to parts of the Fa that one temporarily cannot accept or comprehend. If a practitioner waits until the time when he accepts and comprehends that portion of the Fa to start acting according to that part of the Fa, then it is possible that many precious occasions and time will be lost and missed. We should be clearly aware that the time we have now is the time Teacher compassionately extends for us as a whole body, and we should especially treasure it. This is particularly true for practitioners who have deviated from the righteous path, fallen down, or have not cultivated themselves well -- they should especially treasure the time, and should uphold righteous thoughts and beliefs with even more steadfastness. Believing in Dafa with no conditions attached and with a righteous mind is extremely important in cultivation practice.

Recently I got in touch with some practitioners who had cultivated themselves very well in the past. Due to interference and persecution by the evil, they deviated from the righteous path and developed doubts about the Fa. Because they did not let go of notions and the mentality of everyday people, they did not believe in some parts of the Fa and began to lose their determination in cultivation. Some even gave up their cultivation. They then developed attachments to fame and fortune among everyday people such as attachment to their house, job, and wages. When their attachments and desires could not be satisfied, some of them even thought that the loss resulted from practicing Falun Dafa.

Former fellow practitioners, do you know what you are going to lose? Teacher keeps extending the ending time so as to wait for practitioners who have not cultivated themselves well. Please awaken quickly and return to cultivation! Teacher does not want to give up on any predestined person! I would like to urge those former fellow practitioners to awaken quickly and would also like to ask practitioners who are currently walking a righteous path of Fa-rectification to use the compassion we use in clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings and the compassion that can melt steel to awaken these fellow practitioners. We should greatly treasure our predestined relationships.
