The Importance of Saving Sentient Beings Despite Great Challenges

By Gui Zhen in Inner Mongolia

(Clearwisdom.net) After studying Teacher's "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital" lecture once more, I gained new insights. Teacher continues to steadily push forward with the Fa-rectification. Each subsequent article Teacher publishes tells us of the progress and the changes in the cosmos resulting from the Fa-rectification. Despite the complex social settings we are exposed to, we must enlighten to the Fa taught in these Fa lectures so we raise our moral and cultivation levels and remain on the path Teacher has arranged for us.

Despite the pressure from demonic tribulations, Falun Gong practitioners persevere. They are assisting Teacher in carrying out the most righteous mission in the universe. When I encounter interference, problems, conflicts and other forms of hardship, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Fa Teacher has taught us. Then I remember that the most pressing matter right now is to save people. Besides studying the Fa diligently, I read cultivation insights published in the "Minghui Weekly." Deeply inspired by these insights, I am able break through the confusions I face in daily life.

These interferences, troubles, and demonic tribulations should not have existed in Teacher's Fa-rectification, but they have taken place. One day when I studied the Fa, I realized that demonic tribulations came into existence because of practitioners' loopholes and attachments. These have given the old forces the excuse to interfere with practitioners.

On the other hand, it is Teacher that is rectifying the universe. We disciples are assisting Teacher in His Fa-rectification. As disciples, we must be clear that all sentient beings have come for the Fa. It is the old forces that have arranged demons to coexist in the human realm, thus causing human society to degenerate. Fellow practitioners, the root cause of the chaos in society is demonic interference from other dimensions. No matter how difficult it may be, we must save mankind from the manipulations of demons from other dimensions.

China's 5000 year old civilization has been ruined by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atheistic and degenerate culture within just a few decades. The morality of people in China has sunk so low that it seems hopeless. It is the wicked CCP that is destroying and ruining our Chinese people!

For the sake of saving sentient beings and rectifying the universe, Teacher has endured great hardship and borne sins for sentient beings, which Teacher shouldn't have to do. As practitioners in the Fa-rectification period, we should cherish Teacher's salvation and cherish the opportunity to assist Teacher in His Fa-rectification and in saving sentient beings. We must do the Three Things well and never let Teacher down. We must remember that Teacher is enduring great hardship to save us. No matter how difficult it may be, we must strive to save sentient beings and bring Teacher's blessing to mankind.

In fact, it may not as difficult as we think. There is Teacher and there is the Fa. I try to measure myself against the Fa and the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and conduct myself according to the Fa. Perhaps that's why I have not erred often. At first I was afraid of making mistakes, but I have prevailed by diligently studying the Fa. Practitioners, saving sentient beings is the most righteous and greatest opportunity for a sentient being. Only the evil fears the Fa. Practitioners will never fear the evil! Once we let go of fear, the element of fear will cease to exist. Once we let go of human attachments, evil beings will self-destruct. That is a fact.

One day while I was posting truth-clarification flyers about the persecution of Falun Gong on walls, I spotted an old man talking on his mobile phone. He did not notice me. Another time while I was posting a notice instructing people how to write a declaration to quit the Chinese Communist Party and/or its two affiliated organizations, a police car approached me. I was nervous at first, but a righteous thought immediate took over. "Do not persecute practitioners! I am saving you. Don't move." Then I returned home safely. That was when I truly experienced the meaning of "Buddha's infinite grace." Teacher watches over us at all times.

Saving sentient beings and assisting Teacher in the Fa-rectification is our duty and honor. It is an important historic mission and obligation that we must not shy away from. We must stay on the final portion of the path and return home with Teacher.
