My Understanding of "Already a God When Obtaining the Fa"


By a Falun Gong practitioner in Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) Recently I saw an article written by fellow practitioners in which it was mentioned that some practitioners in China emphasized "Already a God When Obtaining the Fa." ("Saving All Sentient Beings," from Hong Yin, unofficial translation) So, they did not step out to clarify the truth; instead, they expected to stay at home and wait for "consummation." This thought has clearly deviated from Master's requirements. Then, what is the real "obtaining the Fa"?

My understanding is that Dafa is like pure water, and a person is like a container. Master said in "Melt into the Fa" (Essentials for Further Advancement), that "A person is like a container, and he is whatever he contains."

If this container is full of holes (omissions), then what is the use of just studying the Fa all the time? We must do the three things well that Dafa practitioners should do according to Master's requirements: study the Fa, clarify the truth and send forth righteous thoughts--and eliminate all the omissions during this process. Only by doing so can we genuinely obtain the Fa, and truly become Buddhas and Gods and harmonize our paradises.
