My Understanding of "Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that Have a Hand in Interfering with Fa-Rectification"
By a practitioner from Toronto, Canada
(Clearwisdom.net) After the publication of Teacher's new article,
"Disintegrate Completely All the Meddling Deities in the Three Realms that
Have a Hand in Interfering with Fa-Rectification," our local practitioners
shared thoughts and we agreed that this was another step in the Fa-Rectification.
Those meddling deities, who were given chances to correct their attitudes toward
the Fa Rectification, have now lost their chances and choices. They all should
have been righteous Gods, since they were the ones who controlled several major
religions. Now they have become "Meddling Deities" and will be
eliminated completely. This is also another test of our practitioner's human notions. It's testing
our righteous belief, our understanding of the Fa, and the progress
of our cultivation. In fact Teacher has said clearly in Zhuan Falun
that all religions, even if they do not harm people, are still evil practices if
they interfere with people's faith in orthodox religions. Now these religions
are preventing people from learning about Dafa. The meddling deities have been
listening to Teacher's lectures but they would not change their thoughts and
understanding. In the end they have destroyed themselves. Teacher said that the purpose of the existence of everything in today's world
is for practitioners to save sentient beings and validate the Fa, and
everything depends on our hearts. Teacher can disintegrate completely all the
meddling deities in a split second, so why does Teacher ask us to do it by
sending righteous thoughts? It must be related to our own cultivation. My own
understanding is that it is a chance for us to gain our mercy and righteous
thoughts when doing it righteously. It also raises another important issue: during the disintegration of these
old ideas, people's minds will become empty, they will feel lost, and they will
look for answers. At that moment, how are we going to show them the pure, new
culture which the Fa has brought, fill their minds with righteous thoughts, and
build a good foundation for them to obtain the Fa in the future? My own
understanding is that Teacher has told us, by bringing the Chinese New Year
Spectacular shows to the world's people. We are not showing old culture or old
religions. Falun Dafa practitioners are using what they have understood from the
Fa to create a new culture. For example, we are also talking about loyalty, filial piety, moral
integrity, and righteousness, but there are new connotations, different from
those of traditional culture. They not only guide human beings' behaviors, but
also feed the truth of cultivation and returning to one's true home. They
require that we treat sentient beings, ourselves, and our cultivation group with
the heart of a God. We need to put down our selfishness, use the Fa's standard
to measure the work of other practitioners, and use our media to spread the new
culture to the world. For example, how do we understand and spread the articles
like "Cultivation" and "Tempering" from Minghui/Clearwisdom?
It is a process for us to walk away from our old traditions and human notions.
It is very serious. Teacher told us that those meddling deities are weeded out because they
insist on their fixed ideas. My own understanding is that, as practitioners, if
we do not change our old thoughts and give up our old notions, they will
interfere with Teacher's Fa-Rectification as well. Any part of us which is not
assimilated to the Fa will also be weeded out. Cultivation is extremely serious;
this is another understanding of mine from studying Master's new article. The above are my thoughts. Please point it out if I said anything
inappropriate. Heshi. March 13, 2007
