(Clearwisdom.net) After reading Master's new article “What Does it Mean to 'Help Master Rectify the Fa'?” I felt Master wrote this article because we have big problems in terms of believing in Master and the Fa. I would like to share what I have realized after reading this article.
We Need to Believe in Master and Dafa One Hundred Percent
Believing in Master and Dafa means we have identified the Master of Dafa as our teacher and believe Dafa is the Fa that can save sentient beings. It means we are determined to follow Master to return home, to return to magnificent, high-level cosmic dimensions. Only then can we speak of believing in Master and Dafa.
We have cultivated after descending level by level to the secular world, through different lifetimes of reincarnation, to continue the sacred predestined relationships and be able to return home. Historically, many gods descended to Earth to save sentient beings, but no one has been able to offer people salvation – going beyond the Three Realms. How difficult it is for a person weighed down with karma to change his fortune to become a deity!
To save the cosmos, Master created the Three Realms and arranged those of us who had signed a pledge to assist Master in saving sentient beings to wait on Earth. During the process of Master rectifying the Fa we should follow Master to rescue sentient beings and fulfill our grand, prehistoric intentions. Master taught the Fa to save us, the beings in our worlds, and the entire world of beings in the colossal firmament. Master's immeasurable compassion and suffering are to save us. [As I see it], Master came from outside of the colossal firmament to save us, because we don't possess the ability to escape the principle of destruction of the old universe and cannot avoid the end of the world.
Master has picked us up from hell and washed us clean. Master gave us things that only gods can possess. Master's Law Bodies look after us and dissolve the majority of our karma. Master taught us the Fa principles so that we know how to be saved. We have not cherished what Master has created while He suffers for all sentient beings. Instead, we try to find fault with Master and think we are clever and insist on our own ideas. How sad!
According to Master, some of the old forces of the universe are from extremely high levels. They are not cultivators, so their wisdom is not suppressed. But they cannot see through to where Master came from and don't know Master's meticulous arrangements. They tried to help Master to arrange the Fa-rectification using their self-perceived highest wisdom, only to find that their wisdom is only selfish cleverness. Not only could their doing things not change the fate of the old universe, but their actions created gigantic difficulties in Fa-rectification for Master, who is truly saving the colossal firmament. They actually became demons in Fa-rectification. Master is fair to all sentient beings. Master taught the Fa and let them hear the Fa. They are allowed to choose, but they refuse to believe in Master and the Fa, which has led to their elimination. When they finally realize what Master said is true, they have already committed an immense crime and are unable to escape destruction.
Fellow practitioners, if anyone still has doubts about believing in Master and Dafa, they are really not taking their own lives seriously. How many new and veteran practitioners have encountered great danger in their lives? Without Master's protection, who could have survived so many times? Some practitioners (myself included) cannot hold back their tears when Master is mentioned. It is the true gratitude that originates from one's microscopic life, because the other side of ourselves understands that he has seen the hardship of billions of years of waiting. When someone who is sinking in sin is finally saved and finally cradled in the immense, saving hand, how can he still have any thoughts of validating himself?
Reasons for Not Believing in Master and Dafa
I think that the reason we do not do as well as Master requires and instead try to use human ideas is because we don't truly study the Fa well. We have not grasped the profound essence of the Fa, or we don't have sufficient enlightenment quality. Strong attachments can also lead to self-validation, thinking one is even more clever than Master, and remaining aloof, even after being taken advantage of by external interference.
Only by studying the Fa well will we realize that human beings or other lives cannot see through gods' arrangements. Just like the cultivation path Master has arranged for each practitioner: neither a practitioner himself, nor other practitioners, nor other gods cannot see through it. Nor can other beings see through the arrangements of Fa-rectification of the universe.
Dafa can decipher anything. Only by studying the Fa more can we feel Dafa's extraordinary power, which human cleverness can never match. The Fa-rectification of such an enormous cosmos, billions of years of arrangements—how could human cleverness casually change it? Could any person possibly touch such cosmic work as he wishes?
Master is compassionate, Dafa is majestic, and practitioners must put themselves in the right relationship with Dafa. Dafa is omnipotent and also has its principles. It is a crime for a cultivator to have even a single thought to change the arrangements of the Fa, let alone do something out of his or her own ideas, which will lead one's self-destruction. It is more than a sin if one is driven by attachments and goes around to interfere with other practitioners. Cherishing Dafa is cherishing our own life and cherishing the countless lives in our worlds. Be rational! Study the Fa more! Understand the Fa well and get rid of acquired notions and external interferences. Truly obtain the Fa for ourselves, cultivate steadily, and follow Master to fulfill our prehistoric vows.
