No Excuses

By a Falun Dafa practitioner in China

(Clearwisdom.net) As a cultivator, I have had a restless heart and a difficult time eliminating lots of attachments. But one day, as if I had woken up from a dream, I realized something, I saw clearly and my heart calmed. No matter what the situation is within the family, whether they support you and Dafa or not, it is all arranged and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Therefore there is no reason to become too emotional about it.

Due to predestined relationships, we are all placed in different situations to act out our part in validating the Fa. Everyone plays a different role: some provide money, some make truth clarification materials, some are coordinators, and others assist in other ways. Teacher has arranged everything appropriately for each of us.

As part of a family, if one has a good base and is capable of validating the Fa well, then it is almost certain that their spouse and children will be understanding and supportive. This is Teacher's arrangement. If we say we are in a good cultivation state and do things well, that is because Teacher has given us everything we need and naturally we should be in a good state of practice. That is the mighty power of the Fa and not of one's own doing. If not for us, Teacher would have arranged it for someone else. We should not want to show off, as it is disrespectful to the Fa, and because of this impurity in the mind, we will not have reached the best state in cultivation practice and the family environment probably won't be good. We should then try to do things well again and eliminate the remaining attachments.

Teacher has told us all the Fa we need to know and arranged everything for us. We have no excuses not to do well. If we don't, we become negligent to our mission and break the promises we made.

This is my understanding; please point out anything incorrect.
