By a Falun Dafa Practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) In Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital, Teacher said,

"The focus for you right now is simply to find ways to do better, to be more efficient, to have a greater impact, and to save more people."

So I thought about what more I should do to follow this teaching. I thought I could clarify the truth more and promote New Tang Dynasty Television (NTDTV) more, etc. Many fellow practitioners had thoughts similar to mine at that time. However, after watching the video of Falun Dafa - Teaching the Fa to Australian Practitioners, many of us have come to a new understanding. I recognize that the projects we are doing to validate the Fa and save sentient beings must be reinforced because they are important. Nevertheless, cultivation is the foundation. In order to save people more efficiently, we need to form a harmonious body as soon as possible.

There is not much time left for saving people, so higher standards are set for Dafa practitioners: we need to form one body to save as many people as possible on a large scale. The ultimate cultivation for Dafa practitioners is to upgrade and ascend as a body, and this is what will happen regardless. Whether or not every practitioner is able to let go of selfishness and integrate into the whole body, the body is upgrading rapidly with the Fa-rectification process. Following the Fa-rectification process, all the practitioners around the world are one body. No matter how many practitioners in the body have reached the standards, it is a real upgrading in cultivation for the whole group as long as we catch up with the pace of Fa-rectification. When we are attached to self, it is difficult for us to integrate into the body, and in turn, we move away from the body even further.

Upon forming a harmonious body, "the Buddha-light illuminates everywhere and rectifies all abnormalities" (Zhuan Falun) in an area. If practitioners in an area can cultivate by looking within and understanding the Fa well, they will be able to let go of selfishness and cooperate with others and integrate into the body. In turn, the area will be able to build a strong energy field to rectify all abnormalities, just like every individual practitioner who has cultivated well would do. If people in our area are covered by the energy field of peace and compassion, how can the evil controlling them not been dismembered? How can people not accept the truth?

In the past years since the persecution started, we have done quite a lot of work to validate the Fa. However, many have yet to accept the truth as we still have many human attachments and lack pure, compassionate power to destroy the evil. Some people have missed the opportunity to learn about Falun Dafa just because some of our behaviors were not based on the Fa. Truth clarification done in this way cannot be said to be efficient. One hundred flyers may have helped a dozen people accept the truth, but the standard that we should reach is that one hundred flyers helps one hundred people accept the truth. To do so, the first fundamental step is to let people feel the pure and strong energy field of compassion from us as a whole body.

When we are too attached to the projects we are engaged in or attached to our ideas or opinions on how to save sentient beings, those attachments have caused our body to be non-harmonious and we are far away from our original purpose of saving people. Indeed, this will also affect the efficiency of saving people. When we are not attached to what we want to do but rather integrate into the body, we are doing our best to attain harmony and to make our efforts to save people more efficient. When we reach a certain state as a whole body, Teacher will solve problems for us and reward us with what we deserve according to our levels.

Although the most efficient way of saving people is to upgrade as a whole body, it doesn't mean we can reduce our work on the projects we are doing to validate the Fa because according to celestial phenomena, human methods are needed to trigger the process. But in our strong group energy field, the results of the various Fa-validation projects for saving people will probably be one-hundred percent positive.
