Reviewing Teacher's Article "Expounding on the Fa" and Actively Denying the Evil
By a practitioner in China
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, I found out that a few determined
practitioners who are also careful about their safety had been arrested. Those
who were not arrested were placed under surveillance and followed, and the
police would often pay visits to their homes to harass them. All of these
incidents have resulted in enormous damages and hindrances to validating the Fa
and clarifying the truth to people in this particular area. For a period of
time, this situation was extreme. I was confused at the time and did not know where the problem lay. Today, I
was reading Teacher's Essentials for Further Advancement and
unconsciously turned to the article "Expounding on the Fa." After I finished
reading, I suddenly realized everything, and wanted to write an article to share
with practitioners. However, even though I had a thousand points in my mind, I
was unable to express any in writing. I wrote many lines but none could fully
express my understanding. Therefore, I thought that if we reviewed this article,
it would surpass by thousands of times what I wanted to express. I hope that
everyone can read it several times and not let the evil take advantage of us. I
hope that we can walk our remaining path righteously. Expounding on the Fa For a long period of time the sentient beings in Dafa, especially the
disciples, have had a misunderstanding of the Fa at various levels regarding
xinxing improvement. Whenever a tribulation comes, you do not see it with the
side of your original nature but view it completely with your human side. Evil
demons then capitalize on this point and inflict endless interference and
damage, leaving students in long-term tribulations. As a matter of fact, this
results from an inadequate understanding of the Fa by your human side. You
have humanly restrained your divine side; in other words, you have restrained
the parts that have been successfully cultivated and have prevented them from
doing Fa-rectification. How can the uncultivated side restrain your main
thoughts or the side that has already attained the Fa? Having humanly fostered
the evil demons, you allow them to capitalize on the loopholes in the Fa. When
a tribulation arrives, if you, a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable
calm or be determined to meet different requirements at different levels, this
should be sufficient for you to pass the test. If it continues endlessly and
if there do not exist other problems in your xinxing or conduct, it must be
that the evil demons are capitalizing on the weak spots caused by your lack of
control. After all, a cultivator is not an ordinary human. So why doesn't the
side of you that is your original nature rectify the Fa? There are two reasons why Master did not teach this Fa until today: one is
that your problem in this regard has become prominent; the other is that you
have gained a very deep understanding of the Fa and will not understand it in
a simple way. You should also be clear that "natural" does not exist, and "the
inevitable" has reasons behind it. In fact, "natural" is irresponsibly used by
everyday people to make excuses for themselves when they are unable to explain
the phenomena of the universe, life, and matter. They cannot imagine what
"nature" itself is. Under the influence of this kind of notion you think that
all these tribulations are inevitable and that this is just the way it is,
thereby developing a passive and pessimistic attitude. So your human side must
stay aware. More importantly, your side that has attained the Fa must be
clear. Be aware: I am not asking you to intentionally do something. I am only
trying to make you understand the principles of the Fa so that you will have a
clear understanding of this. In fact, Dafa is not only to save human
beings--it is also taught to all beings in the various dimensions. Your
enlightened, original nature will automatically know what to do. Cherishing
your human side enables you to enlighten to and ascend in the Fa. Dafa is
harmonizing all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are also harmonizing
Dafa. I have told you the solemnity and sacredness of the Fa in order to
eliminate your confusion about and misunderstanding of the Fa. Li Hongzhi July 5, 1997
