A Young Dafa Disciple's Understanding of a Dream

February 08, 2007 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) A long time ago, I had this dream. I wanted to share my understanding with fellow practitioners, but since I was not very diligent in my cultivation practice, I kept delaying it until today. I was sharing my understanding with my mother and we came to realize that the postings on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website are meant to be a sharing platform for Dafa disciples worldwide. Dafa disciples around the world read them, and Master also reads them. I want to share my understanding of what I saw and enlightened to in this dream that I had. Perhaps it will be helpful to fellow practitioners.

1. Making the decision

In the dream, I was at a very high level, and a gigantic glittering Buddha was standing beside me. To me, the Buddha appeared to resemble Master. The great Buddha pointed his finger at the Earth, and I saw the image of two families unfolding before me. The great Buddha said compassionately to me, "These two families are Dafa disciples. You have a predestined relationship with them. One household is extremely rich, but not so diligent in their cultivation practice. The other household is poor, but very diligent in their cultivation practice, which household do you choose?" Without hesitation, I pointed to the poor household and jumped down.

From this dream I came to realize that every Dafa disciple's living environment in this world is all predestined. The choice is also made by oneself. Regardless of whether we are poor or rich, we should not let the ordinary world's illusion confuse us. Just like Master said in Hong Yin Vol. 2,

The paths of cultivation are varied
But none is outside the Great Law
When one is attached to nothing
The path underfoot is naturally smooth

"Unimpeded"

Hong Yin Vol. 2 (Translation Version A)

2. Let go of human attachment, save sentient beings

In the dream, I was with my mother. We were meditating with many other fellow practitioners that we did not know. Unconsciously we began to rise and float. We floated through the blue sky and white clouds, ascending higher and higher, not knowing through how many levels of heavens and universes we traveled. The fellow practitioners around me became fewer and fewer, until all that was left were my mother and me. I did not realize it, but at some point my mother also disappeared, and I was the only one continuing the ascent. I was a little afraid. I looked around; my mother was nowhere around. Finally I stopped at a certain level of heaven, and the surroundings were splendidly spectacular. Numerous gods were dancing and singing, cheering and jumping for joy, as if they were welcoming my arrival. When I inquired where my mother went, one of the gods said, "You do not have a mother here, you are our king, we are welcoming your return!" Obstinately I replied, "She is my mother, we came up together." Another god answered," If you insist of saying she is your mother, then you can call her fellow practitioner mother." Later, under numerous gods' presence, I sat on the throne. At this time, I saw a big mirror in front of the spatial field we were in. The mirror was turning back and forth very quickly reflecting the scenes of when I was on earth. Other Dafa disciples were saving sentient beings, but I was leisurely lying on my bed watching TV. I became worried and woke up.

From this dream I become aware that Dafa disciples are the kings and lords in the various levels of heaven. The remote heavenly kingdoms are our true homeland. In it, many sentient beings are waiting for our return. I must quickly let go of my attachment to human sentiment towards my mother, abandon my attachment to TV, and make the best use of my time to join the current Fa rectification activities to save sentient beings.

3. The great disclosure of the truth will leave the world in amazement

In the dream, at the moment of consummation, Master was leading all Dafa diciples in ascending to heaven in broad day light. The scene was spectacular and magnificent. I also followed Master flying along, as I glanced back from above, I saw the people that were left behind, some were dumbfounded, some were stunned. Some were crying loudly, there were others that were crying and trying to catch up with us, but no matter how hard they tried, it looked like there was nothing they could do. It was like the description in Master's poem The Knowing Heart "When the day of Consummation arrives, The great disclosure of the truth will leave the world in amazement."

For those practitioners that achieved the standard for consummation, it was truly spectacular! For those that did not measure up to the standard, and abandoned Dafa during the time of tribulation, how will they face Master's benevolent mercy and grace? How will they face the sentient beings that

put their hope and confidence in them? Fellow practitioners, let's not lose this precious opportunity, let's join hands together, encourage one another, cultivate diligently and walk our final path righteously!
