(Clearwisdom.net) Last night, when I talked with another practitioner, I learned he was doing a very big ordinary person's business project. Because he does not seem to have a clear understanding of Falun Dafa cultivation, he has been doing things with human attachments, which has caused a lot of difficulties for the project and made him exhausted. This practitioner tried to collaborate with several ordinary people. However, they just tried to take his money in a variety of ways. On one day, they said they needed tens of thousands of yuan. On another day, they asked for a vehicle. On yet another day, they wanted to have a condo. Finally, they asked to get a bigger percentage of the profit. The practitioner has also taken advantage of insider relations and done backdoor deals when encountering problems. He did not have a practitioner's righteous thoughts.
Master said in “Teaching the Fa at the Western U.S. Fa Conference”:
“There’s something I told you before. I said: what is a Buddha? "Tathagata" is what human beings call someone who’s come with the truth and the power to do what he wants, whereas real Buddhas are guardians of the cosmos and are responsible for all righteous elements in the cosmos.” (Guiding the Voyage)
Since a Falun Dafa practitioner walks on the path of cultivation, Master has arranged everything for him. Master takes care of practitioners at every moment. If we can remain clear and be firm on the Fa at every moment, we are walking on the path of validating the Fa, saving all sentient beings, achieving Consummation, and returning home. At the same time, the old forces have also made their systematic arrangements—destructive tests in the name of testing Dafa and practitioners. The old forces even made an arrangement for Dafa practitioners' every thought. If a practitioner cannot remain clear on the Fa and firmly follow Master's arrangements at every moment, he will be driven by human attachments and be interfered with by external factors, and finally fall into the trap set by the old forces.
It is really very serious to cultivate and validate the Fa. If we can really be pure with regard to the Fa, we can correct all that is incorrect and display Dafa's righteousness and glory. We will help sentient beings see hope. If we behave like ordinary people and are moved by fame, profit, and human attachments—if we also live our lives in this big dye vat—is that what we waited tens of millions of years for?
Actually, every Dafa practitioner's path is arranged by Master, and we should cherish it. Especially when facing difficulties and conflicts, we should consider the issues from the view of the Fa. As practitioners, we should be responsible for all righteous factors. We should clarify the truth comprehensively with our righteous thoughts. We should not forget our status and mission as Dafa practitioners. This is the sacred path of achieving consummation and returning to the origin.
If a practitioner focuses on the Fa during Fa-study, but while at work, uses ordinary thoughts and notions to make judgments and solve problems, it is not real cultivation and he is just doing business like an ordinary person. He cannot get rid of his attachments and is easily pulled down and becomes an ordinary person. It is very dangerous if he is in such a state for a long time. The old forces would make excuses to take strong actions.
I would like to alert those practitioners who are in a similar situation: please learn to be in the Fa at every moment.
