Comments on the Old Forces Arrangements of "Eliminating Karma" from Some Veteran Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) Some veteran practitioners may experience the phenomena
of physical discomfort, or some light, illness-like, symptoms. Usually,
practitioners just treat it as "eliminating karma," and simply accept
it. But this behavior is possibly acknowledging the old force's arrangement. As
practitioners at this special moment in history, we not only have a Teacher who
watches out for us at every step during our cultivation, but we also have the
old forces' detailed arrangements. When the phenomena of "eliminating
karma" appear, our first thoughts should be to deny the old forces'
arrangements. The first thing in the Fa-rectification period for us to do is to assist our
Teacher and validate the Fa. Teacher's arrangement for us to cultivate and
improve xinxing (mind nature or moral character) is achieved through the process
of Fa rectification. But the old forces insist that self improvement and getting
rid of attachments is the top priority. The old forces purposely selected and
arranged the consummation of our cultivation. Their true intention was to
protect themselves from being eliminated. Teacher wants to save every sentient
being in the cosmos, takes great effort to pave a path toward consummation for
every one of us, and endows us with eternal mighty virtue. During the current special period, the old forces have made detailed
arrangements targeting our attachments. I admit that I have attachments that
need to be eliminated, but I never acknowledge the old force or its
arrangements. Even when facing difficulties and tribulations, I still deny the
old forces. Because I cultivate Falun Dafa, it is my Teacher who will arrange
the whole cultivation process for me. This is a fundamental issue …quot; whether we
cultivate under Teacher's Fa-rectification or under the old forces'-defined
"self cultivation." Our understanding and attitude on this issue will
determine whether we can fully follow our Teacher's request of doing three
things well. If a practitioner is unable to understand his cultivation from the
aspect of Fa-rectification, he will easily lose his way and his cultivation will
be severely affected. This is my personal understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate. June 23, 2004
