Do Not Relax the Will to be Diligent at the End of the Cultivation Period
(Clearwisdom.net) I had a dream a few days ago. There were only images,
no audio, in the scenes of the dream. Teacher was teaching the Fa in a small room and I was lost, trying to find my
way to the room. It was pouring rain outside. The sky looked dark and I was very
anxious to attend the lecture. I spent a lot of effort finding the room. Finally
I opened the door to the correct room and sat in the last row. The feeling I had
at that moment was similar to the feeling of finding my own mother, and my eyes
could not help filling with tears. Benevolent Teacher stood facing us, teaching
the Fa. There were four or five rows of practitioners sitting in the front
seats. However, they were either asleep or chatting amongst themselves. My location was not good because I could not see Teacher clearly. I was so
anxious that I stood up to see Teacher. Then, some practitioners sitting in the
front seats left the room. I went to the front to ask Teacher: "People have
said that Zhuan Falun is a precious book, so why are they
falling asleep when they can see you?" Teacher smiled but did not answer. He continued teaching the Fa on the stage. When I awoke from the dream, I still could not stop the tears from covering
my face. Teacher has always told practitioners to study the Fa well.
The Fa, such a great Fa, is presented to everyone, but the practitioners do not
focus on studying. They study the Fa with various attachments. This shows that
they don't respect the great Fa. Benevolent Teacher has left the precious book Zhuan Falun for
practitioners. When we open the book, what are we thinking about? Do we really
fully focus on studying the Fa? Can we guarantee that we study the Fa well every
day? The day before the evening of my dream, I read an article composed by a
practitioner. It recalled the days when the author was in Teacher's presence.
The article mentioned that Teacher looks a little older these days. In the
dream, I intentionally looked at the back of His hand. Though Teacher's hands
look slim, they still bear the marks of age. Benevolent Teacher still encourages
practitioners that cultivating the Fa can make you look younger and to return to
your true self. By this comparison, we can see how much Teacher has been worried
about and endured for practitioners. Those practitioners who left the room in my dream make me feel sorry. This
reminds me of myself and the practitioners close to me who have relaxed the will
to be diligent in these last crucial moments. An unstable cultivation status is
also reflected in the work of Fa-rectification and communication between the
teams. Our work is not highly efficient as a result. Practitioners, we should not relax our will to be diligent in these last
moments. Teacher is waiting for us to diligently practice cultivation. Let us
practice cultivation well, following Teacher's requirements. Please kindly correct me if I have any inappropriate understanding.
