(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, among practitioners, I often heard terms such as: Dafa programs, Dafa songs, Dafa banners, Dafa uniforms and Dafa newspapers, etc. I find that these simplified terms make sense to practitioners, and they are easy to use. However, are those terms in compliance with the Fa?

Remember that Teacher explicitly taught the Fa in this respect; also remember we only call the two formulas to send forth righteous thoughts "Dafa formulas." Because they are indeed Dafa's formulas, just like the music of the five sets of exercises, Pudu, and Jishi are Dafa's music. Other things such as radio, TV programs made by practitioners, music and dance created by practitioners, banners and T-shirt with "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" or "Falun Dafa" written on them, etc, even journals and truth-clarification materials complied by Dafa practitioners -- these things are not part of Dafa itself. They are practitioners' music, truth-clarification programs, practitioners' dance, and things with "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" written on them.

Through the Clearwisdom website, I'd like to suggest that practitioners be strict with themselves in terms of speech, writing articles and thinking about questions, and pay attention to the solemn nature of the Fa in the wording they use.

This is only my personal understanding. In order to be responsible to future beings, to the Fa, and to ourselves, I ask that Fa-rectification disciples, in terms of cultivation of speech, give some attention to what I mentioned above.
