At This Historic Moment, Isn't the Belief in Divine Beings of Vital Importance?
(Clearwisdom.net) Over a long period of time, when people in mainland China talked about
whether Gods and Buddhas exist or not, many would say something like, "If
you believe in God then God exists, if you don't believe in God, God will not
blame you." A similar viewpoint would probably be "Something only
exists if you believe in it, and it does not exist if you do not believe in
it". What's behind this seemingly vague concept is precisely a complete
negation of Gods and Buddhas. Humans are beings created by Gods, and they benevolently protect humans on a
macroscopic level. The existence of Gods as high level beings is not determined
by the will of humans. People self-righteously think that they are the center of
life; actually they reverse their positions with Gods. This misplaced thinking
will bring them endless disasters. In history every nationality in the world believed in Gods. In western
religions, people who believe in Gods regard themselves as servants of Gods. As
servants, they should not try to replace--or worse, surpass--their master. In the several thousand years of Chinese traditional culture, our ancestors
always believed in Gods and showed respect to heaven. "There are divine
beings three feet above one's head" was a common belief in society. People
believed that good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil; therefore,
they accumulated virtue and did good deeds, cherished virtue, were thankful, and
tried to refrain from doing evil deeds. Accordingly, the morality of society was
maintained at a relatively stable level. Living in such a society, people were
indifferent to fame or benefit, and remained peaceful, quiet and natural. That
is real happiness. At present there is chaos everywhere in mainland China and much evidence
indicates that the CCP is approaching its end. The main reason is that the evil
CCP dismantled and damaged traditional culture and brainwashed the Chinese
people with atheism, after it usurped power. People don't believe anymore that
good will be rewarded with good and evil with evil, so they lack a sense of
spiritual obligation and do a lot of evil things. They harm each other at will.
Living in such a society, even if you have delicious food and beautiful clothes,
you still cannot enjoy the happiness of peace and tranquility. Gods are most benevolent beings, and would certainly have mercy on humans if,
living in delusion, they didn't believe in Gods. However, the universal Fa
principle of "good is rewarded with good and evil meets with evil"
governs and balances everything. If a person does not believe in Gods, then he
or she will not follow the behavior codes set up by them. If a person commits
evil deeds, then he or she will bring disaster to himself and his family. But
the person, being lost, won't even know the true reasons for his misfortunes.
Isn't it tragic? Believing in Gods or not is not a trivial issue. Gods are benevolent and Gods
create humans. When humans really go through hardship, Gods will come to save
them. However if you don't believe in Gods, how could they save you then? From the perspective of high level beings, the purpose of life is not to be a
human and enjoy life. The real purpose of life is to return to one's true,
original self. For thousands of years humans have been waiting for salvation and
the renewal of life. Today, the most precious Falun Dafa is being spread in
human world and is saving sentient beings. However so many people are deluded by
the party culture of the evil CCP. They don't believe in Gods, or even hate Dafa
without knowing any of the truth of Dafa. They not only lose the precious
opportunity of cultivation but also endanger their lives. Because the CCP has done the most evil things, it will be dissolved and
destroyed by Gods. At the critical historical moment, Dafa disciples
clarify the truth about Dafa and talk about Dafa's wonderfulness
with a heart of great compassion and forbearance. The Dafa disciples in mainland
China even spread the "Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party"
at the risk of their lives, telling everybody that "Heaven will Eliminate
the CCP and Withdrawing from the CCP Ensures One's Safety." Then it depends
on whether one believes it or not and how to make the choice. If people believe
in Gods and withdraw from the CCP, they will enjoy eternal blessings; otherwise
Gods will regard them as members of the evil CCP who would voluntarily act as
its accomplice. At this historic moment, isn't the belief in Gods of vital importance? March 6, 2006
