Paying Attention to the Environment in Which We Live

(Clearwisdom.net) Some time ago, I went to a practitioner's home and found everything in a mess both inside and outside. Things were very dirty and chaotic. Then I asked how it could be that a cultivator did not pay attention to this situation? However, the fellow practitioner said: "I cannot take everything into consideration. I am very busy!" This practitioner did very well in clarifying the truth and was very busy with Dafa work.

Another fellow practitioner owns a own retail sales business, a repair shop. This makes for the convenient distribution of Dafa material and work coordination, but her house was always in a mess. When practitioners mentioned it, she said: "Put up with it. Anyway, we do not need to bother with this issue after we reach consummation." There was still another fellow practitioner from the countryside. Her son became an adult (close to the age of marriage). Crowded living space became an issue. Her relatives and neighbors all asked why she did not build a house for her son. The complaints only grew as time went on. Later on, in helplessness, she had to build a house.

Through the above situations, I feel we must be responsible for the Fa, to society, and to our future as practitioners. Just imagine if future practitioners did not tidy their homes. Would that be OK? If we can reach consummation, then people in the future will say Falun Dafa practitioners cultivated and practiced sloppily back then.

Human society will exist forever, so we Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples must pay attention to our behavior in this human society. Certainly we cannot have the idea of enjoying being in human being society, or be attached to ease and comfort or even to cleanliness. However, we cannot go the other extreme either. The path that cultivators walk should be most righteous. Even though we have a lot of things we need to do for Dafa, we have to pay attention to our behavior. Of course, making the best use of our time to save sentient beings is very good.

Every word and action of Falun Dafa practitioners in this period of Fa-rectification is very important. Since we're destined to assist in Fa-rectification, all that we do during the period of Fa-rectification should conform to Dafa's requirements, because we are practitioners first and foremost. The criteria for cultivation practice for people in the future must be manifest by our current Dafa practitioners. The social environment of the future will change. The form of cultivation practice in today's human society should be exemplified by Dafa practitioners.
