(Clearwisdom.net) I have been lost in the big dye vat of human society and have developed human notions and thinking. This is because of long-term poisoning by the evil culture of the Chinese Communist Party, resulting in strong attachments of fame, personal interest, and sentimentality. Suffering in that hellish state, I fell into despair. Fortunately, benevolent Master pulled me out of hell and washed me clean, enabling me to become a Fa-Rectification period Dafa disciple. I and grateful to Falun Dafa and the principles of the universe, hidden from mankind for an eternity until now.
For a long time, the thought karma associated with the idea that "Falun Gong seeks political power," arranged by the old cosmic forces, has hindered me from clarifying the facts--telling people the truth about Falun Gong and the persecution it faces in China.
Through spending a lot of time studying the Fa, sending righteous thoughts, and reading fellow practitioners' articles on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, I have finally made some breakthrough in my thinking, especially today, after reading Master's article titled "Cultivation Practice is Not Political" in Essentials for Further Advancement. The realizations I've had are quite profound.
Last evening, I read a practitioner's experience sharing article titled "The Calling from the Innermost Heart - Saving People." After this, the last knot in my mind came undone. Indeed, "saving people," what a sacred and glorious responsibility it is. Dafa practitioners will achieve the fruit status of Buddhas, who are full of wisdom and compassion. So how could Dafa practitioners be involved in the dirty politics of ordinary society? At that moment, I felt both ashamed and incomparably happy. I felt ashamed because of my poor enlightenment quality and because I have been stuck on this issue for such a long time. I felt happy because Master has not given up on me, and He has always guided me and forgiven my repetitive failures. Master has used his boundless forgiveness and compassion to guide me toward divinity.
The Fa-rectification has reached the end of the final stage. Let me cite (below) a section of Master's Fa to encourage myself and fellow practitioners. Dafa disciples will use their purest and most compassionate hearts to do well the three things and return with Master through consummation.
"Whether you're a student in Mainland China or outside the Mainland, I hope that all of you seize the final moments to do well and do even better. Especially those of you who haven't done well, you should seize the day and do well. Don't let the opportunity slip by. Once the persecution ends and once the strength of the evil is no longer sufficient, this thing will be over, and at that time it'll really be too late for regrets."
"I hope that every Dafa disciple won't overemphasize the form of things. Your own cultivation, your own improvement, your validating the Fa amidst the evil, saving sentient beings, and steadfastly doing well going down the path that you should take are what's most important. (Applause)" ("Teaching and Explaining the Fa at the Metropolitan New York Fa Conference")
