A Sharing about Striving Forward as a Whole Body: Lessons from Ms. Gao Rongrong's Death
Written by a Dafa practitioner in Mainland China
(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, we saw the Clearwisdom report about the death
of quite a large number of Dafa practitioners, including the death of Ms. Gao
Rongrong. Some practitioners who are not very diligent in studying the Fa
think this is a manifestation of the desperate struggle of the evil, and
therefore they have a somewhat passive attitude and feel as if there was no
alternative. Some practitioners feel that all these manifestations are the old
forces' arrangements and that we are not able to deny them amidst such a huge
tribulation. They feel that it is impossible to deny the old forces'
arrangements and that it has already been decided who would succeed in
cultivation and who would fail and what level each practitioner would cultivate
to. They also say that Master Li said he had wanted 200 million practitioners,
but the old forces set the number at 70 million and even Master Li could not
deny the old forces' arrangement, etc. I would like to share some of my
understandings related to these issues. In this cosmos, no matter how high a level one is at, if this being commits
the crime of damaging Dafa, Master Li could easily take away his Fruit Status
and strike him down with the turn of the hand. Master also could disallow this
persecution from happening. As Master Li is carrying out the Fa-rectification,
if any beings dare to block it, Master has the ability to eliminate them, no
matter how many beings there are. However, Master Li came here to offer
salvation to all sentient beings and he is fair to every being in the cosmos. He
tries to repeatedly give opportunities to all beings (including the evil party).
Master Li is also able to help us genuinely cultivate and return to our original
true self and establish our own mighty virtue. Therefore, Master gives us the
opportunity to improve ourselves and establish our mighty virtue through
studying the "Fa" in the maze and genuinely improving our
understanding of the Fa and upgrading ourselves. Those practitioners who have
been persecuted to death have done very well in many aspects, but when strictly
judged by Master Li's teaching of the Fa, they failed to use righteous thoughts
to fully deny the old forces' arrangements. The reason these cases of
persecution are allowed to happen is not that Master cannot deny them, but
because we could not understand the Fa from within the Fa and failed to do well
while following Master Li's requirements. When the Fa-rectification comes to today's stage, Dafa practitioners are also
becoming more and more mature in the persecution, and we are also seeing our own
shortcomings in this persecution. The fact that we didn't have a solid enough
understanding of Dafa and could not let go our human attachments is the reason
why certain aspects of this persecution and those regrettable matters have
happened. I hereby would like to suggest that those practitioners in Mainland China to
follow Master Li's requirements to organize group study and involve those
practitioners who have not stepped forward yet. Let's turn our environment into
one where the whole body is genuinely indestructible. The above is just my personal understanding. Fellow practitioners, please
kindly point it out if there are any inappropriate points. July 6, 2005
