Some Thoughts About Cultivation and Security

By a practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) We need to pay attention to security while validating the Fa.

1. We must validate the Fa without human notions. I had the good fortune of getting to know practitioners in Changchun City, but I discovered that some of the practitioners were validating the Fa by fighting with the evil. The evil elements originating from the old forces will be eliminated during Fa-rectification. Fighting the evil elements is not worthwhile and we do not wish to fight the old forces. Teacher said, "Fa-rectification is unstoppable," and so we eliminate the evil elements by sending forth righteous thoughts. This is not the same as fighting with the old forces. When one validates the Fa with the human notion of "putting up a fight," it is the same as an ordinary person validating the Fa, instead of Gods validating the Fa.

2. Study the Fa, cultivate your heart and trust Teacher and the Fa. This is the best guarantee for keeping on the righteous path of cultivation. Some practitioners do not spend enough time studying the Fa and they complain about feeling tired in morning. Is this phenomenon due to an inability to break free from the interference of sleepiness and lust? Perhaps we create an "omission" when we don't try hard! When we are bound by human notions, we are easily persecuted. We are cultivators so we must not follow ordinary people's ways of thinking, and we must also break free from ordinary human attachments.

3. We must break away from the old forces' arrangements and walk the path arranged by Teacher. Teacher has provided us with the safest route. I know a practitioner who for a long time now has been entangled by the emotions of family and relationships. She feels deeply pained. Evil can only persecute and hurt humans while Gods remain unaffected. When we remove human notions we can alleviate human sufferings. Only by following the teachings of our Teacher and thoroughly breaking free from the maze arranged by the old forces can we do the three things well.

4. When in group discussions take a moderate stance to one's personal understandings concerning Teacher's Fa. There are practitioners who become restless when they hear Teacher saying the words "at last." They can not maintain a peaceful mind when studying the Fa and consequently become the target of persecution. The time Teacher refers to is in the context of the larger universe, so it is best if we do not form an attachment to human time. We must diligently study the Fa, cultivate our hearts, eliminate evil and use time wisely to save sentient beings. By doing the three things Master has asked of us we will be worthy of being called Teacher's disciples.

5. We must be diligent as the Fa-rectification continues. Before the immense force of Fa-rectification arrives, the evil will continue to persecute Dafa disciples. Therefore I suggest that we pay special attention to security and perhaps not host too many Fa conferences. The persecution by the old forces' evil elements brings immeasurable loss for Fa-rectification, and these losses are something that Teacher does not want to have happen.
