We Should Examine Our Attitudes about Reaching Consummation

By Huiming

(Clearwisdom.net) In the middle of July, I had an opportunity to share on the subject of cultivation with a female fellow practitioner. I asked her, "How is your cultivation going?" She said, "It has not been going very well. However, since Falun Dafa is so great and majestic, even if I do not cultivate well, I can still reach Consummation! Right?" I felt so surprised and shocked that I did not know what to say. Actually, her situation is not unique.

Later in July, I spoke with a male fellow practitioner. While sharing with this fellow practitioner, he also mentioned reaching Consummation.

It is not wrong to think about reaching Consummation, which is our final goal. Yet we must never forget that Consummation can be reached provided we do well the three things arranged by our Teacher. We should focus our mind on saving people; as far as the end result is concerned, it is all up to our Teacher.

If we put too much thought into calculating when and how to reach Consummation, it is inevitable that we would slow our diligent steps and fail to accomplish our missions.

I would like to remind fellow practitioners who have this kind of mindset that it is time to wake up. Please do not have human notions about Teacher and Dafa. As long as we work hard on cultivation practice and carry out our prehistoric promise, we will then be worthy of Teacher's compassionate salvation.
