To Comply and to Harmonize
By a Ppactitioner in Yichang City, Sichuan Province
(Clearwisdom.net) We have been cultivating Falun Dafa for over ten years.
We often ask ourselves whether or not we have elevated from cultivation and how
much we have elevated. Falun Dafa has guided us in cultivation, but why can't we
meet Dafa's standards? We still have difficulty letting go of attachments when
facing tribulations. We have not met all the requirements for practitioners
during the Fa-rectification period. I now wish to discuss some general
viewpoints among fellow practitioners. Please correct me if I say anything
incorrect. As described in some articles on Clearwisdom, some practitioners have
expressed for a long time that their local coordinators needed improvement.
Within my personal experience, most coordinators are predestined for those
roles. They have done very well, developed the qualities of true cultivators,
and honored the promises they made before our modern history began. They have
put forth great mental and physical efforts and given up many material benefits.
They have been guiding practitioners to do the three things well.
The coordinators have guided practitioners to comply with the Fa and to
harmonize with one another at various levels. All this has not been easy for
them to accomplish. Most of the coordinators have been diligent in Fa study and have
not been persecuted. They are not just doing tasks for Dafa, they are
cultivating. (Of course, we need to firmly negate the evil persecution.)
Therefore, in addition to learning the Fa well, we should support and cooperate
with coordinators, allowing them enough time to study the Fa well. Since we are
one whole body, we should make our best efforts to rectify any problems that
occur and to quietly supplement others' efforts. Some practitioners believe that the evil persecution has lasted longer than
it should have and wish that the Fa-rectification would end soon. I do not know
how well or to what levels those practitioners may have cultivated. If Teacher's
Fa-rectification ended today, would all Falun Dafa practitioners consummate to
their original positions? Think about it, can you go back to your original
position? Are you a human being, or are you a divine being? Are you full of
Buddha nature with no omissions? Have you met all the requirements? Though
Teacher has pushed every practitioner to his or her highest level, one must
cultivate to arrive there. If a practitioner is obsessed with sentimentality and
lust, he or she cannot easily transform into high-energy matter. You have to
cultivate and enlighten by eliminating your human concepts and letting go of
human attachments. The only way is to study the Fa more diligently, learn the Fa
well and look inward when encountering problems. Let us cultivate diligently together, my fellow practitioners. Do not become
confused by the false ideas of ordinary people. Finally, I remind and encourage
myself and fellow practitioners by quoting Teacher, "The Fa can break all attachments, the Fa can destroy all evil, the Fa
can shatter all lies, and the Fa can strengthen righteous thoughts."
