On "Hurry Up"

By a practitioner from Jilin Province

(Clearwisdom.net) After reading articles from the "Third Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China" I felt that Fa-rectification has come to a new stage. Almost all of the authors of those articles work on producing and distributing truth-clarifying materials, and they truly realize what Teacher called "...flowers blossoming everywhere." ("Explaining the Fa During the 2003 Lantern Festival at the U.S. West Fa Conference"). Fellow practitioners share numerous stories of clarifying the truth and convincing people to sign the "three withdrawals." I have been inspired greatly upon reading the articles. After comparing myself to them after Fa study and with regard to cultivation, I located my shortcomings. I realized that studying the Fa with a peaceful mind and upgrading xinxing are the only righteous ways to proceed on one's cultivation path during the Fa-rectification period. Only by doing the three things well and whole-heartedly can one be worthy of being a Dafa practitioner in the Fa-rectification period.

One night a few days ago, the clocks at my home slowed down. When I heard students talking outside in the morning I realized that I missed the time for sending righteous thoughts. I came to understand that Teacher wants me to hurry up and not be despondent. Time waits for no one! For instance, when there are a lot of house chores, my Fa-study time is taken away, and I find different reasons to justify it. With this mindset of studying the Fa when there is enough time, while not studying the Fa when I'm busy, how can I study the Fa well? I think the time of Fa-study does not matter. As long as you study it with a peaceful mind, you can reach the perfect state. Only through studying the Fa well can we achieve things smoothly. Only through studying the Fa well, can we upgrade xinxing and do the three things well.

The Biography of Jesus Christ tells such a story: An old lady gave the smallest donation, but Jesus said that she made the biggest contribution. This indicates that it does not matter how many things you do, it matters how much heart you put into it. As Dafa practitioners during the Fa-rectification stage, as long as we can do the three things well and wholeheartedly, we are Dafa practitioners according to the standard, and thus we can achieve consummation. There is a new practitioner who participated in the "Third Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China." Relatively speaking, he studies they Fa less frequently than others. However, he makes the best use of his time to study the Fa, to send righteous thoughts and to clarify the truth. He follows the progress of the Fa-rectification closely and does an excellent job at the materials center. Isn't he like a mirror for those of us who obtained the Fa early and cultivated longer but who let time slip away?

Teacher wishes that we be more diligent towards the end. Let us not be despondent and numb. We need to hurry up to save sentient beings. This is Teacher's expectation as well as everyday peoples' expectation. As the Fa-rectification approaches the end, we should make the best use of our time to do the three things well, and clarify the truth to more people so that they quit the evil party, thus eliminating the persecution of Dafa practitioners by the evil Party completely.
