(Clearwisdom.net) “Only when we follow Master's Fa-rectification closely, are we safe.” All Dafa disciples know the weight of this sentence. Please allow me to ask: “My fellow practitioners, have you caught up with Master's Fa-rectification progress so far?”
I personally experienced the following in 2007:
As for establishing mini truth-clarification material production sites everywhere in our city, we didn't catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification. After trying for a year, we didn't make any progress in this regard. I started to realize the seriousness of this issue. Sometime around the end of February or the beginning of March in 2007, I went to share this with local coordinators. At that time, the resistance was huge. After intense Fa study, local coordinators finally reached a consensus. However, during the implementation, several practitioners at major truth-clarification materials sites posed big obstacles.
At that time, Master's Fa-rectification was progressing rapidly. Master's hints came one after another. I was shouldering the responsibility of producing materials such as Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, “The Sujiatun Incident” and other truth-clarification items for almost the entire city. Sometimes I cooked and ate only one meal for the entire day. No matter how busy I was, whoever Master's hint was related to, I went to tell them promptly. I didn't dare to delay the message. Master gave direct hints to these practitioners too. When they didn't enlighten to the hints, Master gave me hints to pass on to them.
I had my third eye open. Although I requested Master to close my third eye, Master allowed me to see other dimensions at critical times. In the summer of 2007, I could see that evil beings in other dimensions of my city were already quite rampant. They lurked around those few practitioners who didn't catch up with Master's Fa-rectification. I sent forth righteous thoughts intensively and asked for Master's help and the assistance of righteous gods. It was truly a battle of righteous and evil in other dimensions.
With Master's help, I was able to thwart the old forces in other dimensions for almost three months. In the end, when I was sending forth righteous thoughts to disintegrate them, the old forces emerged. They said, “Mind your own business. You are too nosy.” I responded, “I am not being nosy. We are disciples of the same Master. My Master said: 'The next person's things are your things, and your things are his things.' (Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. Fa Conference, July 2002) My Master required us to form an indestructible one body!” With a wave of the hand, the old forces showed me a scene: the fellow practitioners took a carriage of the old forces and flew away. I called their names, but they didn't turn around.
After I came out of that state, I cried. I knelt down in front of Master's picture and asked Master to save those fellow practitioners. After I was done crying, I looked up at Master's picture. Master looked very serious in the picture, his eyes full of tears. I stood up and said to Master, “Master, I don't want to cry any more. I know it's because we haven't done well and have yet to catch up with Master's progress of Fa-rectification. Now I'm going to inform those fellow practitioners and try my best to avoid the wrong direction where we are heading.” I didn't dare to delay for even a moment. I told the coordinators and the relevant fellow practitioner.
During the next week, Master hinted to me three times to leave the material production site. The last one occurred as such: sensing danger, I flew into the sky. In a very deep dimension, a heavenly net covered me. I grabbed the net and stomped on it. My hair became my Fa instruments to cut the net open. Once I broke out from the net and continued to fly, the old forces blocked me. I said to them calmly, “I know I haven't cultivated well enough at this level. I have omissions. However, I have to continue to fly up. My Master is waiting for me. My Master is Li Hongzhi.” They let me go, but wouldn't let me leave that level. I said, “OK, let me give you one spirit of mine.” (translator's note: one spirit as in “three souls and seven spirits”) When the old forces took away my spirit, it was really a process of rebirth after death.
Having lost a spirit, I continued to fly up with a dizzy head. When I reached the second layer of the heavenly net, Master gave me two things: one was a small leaf like a green crystal. Master asked me to open my mouth, he pushed it into my mouth with his divine power and told me, “I'm giving you a spirit.” Immediately, I felt refreshed and my divine power increased. Master also gave me a pink crystal-like dan (an energy cluster). Master simply smiled and didn't say anything. I knew Master wanted me to go back to save people. I took the dan with much confidence and said farewell to Master.
I descended into a big courtyard. The courtyard was full of people. All of them were very skinny. They reached out their matchstick-like hands to me and looked at me with such yearning wishes for salvation. Some fellow practitioners stood in front of these sentient beings, but they looked somewhat inert and numb.
I flew over the heads of these sentient beings, and opened the dan with my divine power. I gave one share to each of them. When the sentient beings obtained the dan, they immediately smiled and their cheeks turned rosy. I was so happy to see them saved.
I descended to the ground and said to my fellow practitioners, “Fellow practitioners, let's not take detours when encountering difficulties on our path of cultivation.” At this moment, two ropes dropped down from the sky, one green and one red. I flew up and took them in my hands. I turned around and said to those fellow practitioners, “These are the two tribulations I avoided in my cultivation at this level. When I go up, I will have to pass four tribulations as I return.” I left and continued shooting up while saying “Master.”
When I reached another layer of heavenly net, I tied the two ropes to the net. They were of different colors than the net and were wider than the net. Once they were tied to the net, they became endlessly long. I looked at them and said, “Master, I will break through. I will fly up and will not bring you disgrace.” Once I finished talking, numerous rays of golden light shone upon me. I looked up; Master was looking at me above the net with dignity and compassion. I immediately knelt down to thank Master.
Once I knelt down, I woke up from my dream. I cried again. This dream was so real and clear. I reflected on the last two hints – every time I was the only one who broke out.
After my morning exercises, I came to Master's picture and burned incense. I knelt down and cried to Master, “Master, thank you for your hint. I have seen a few glimpses of other dimensions. I also know the situation of fellow practitioners. I looked inward and found out that I was too emotionally attached to the materials production site. I don't want to leave. I hope the old forces are coming for my emotions. I hope my leaving can dissolve tribulations for fellow practitioners. If so, it's worthwhile!”
Within 10 days of my leaving, the big materials production site was sabotaged by the evil. All the equipment was taken away. Among the practitioners, two were killed, one was injured and one was sentenced to prison. Many practitioners were also arrested. The loss was tremendous. The small materials production site that I was at was also forced to move.
It has been more than four years, and my city now has many small materials production sites. Those fellow practitioners who were inert and numb in the past have almost all caught up with Master's Fa-rectification progress via Fa study.
Starting from last year, Master has arranged a broader cultivation environment for me. During my interactions with fellow practitioners, I saw that a few practitioners had not kept up. I was concerned but didn't know what to do. Then I read an article “Magical Phenomena Experienced Through Cultivation” published on the Minghui website (the Chinese version of Clearwisdom) on February 20, 2012. The article said: “I'm writing down the magical phenomena I experienced through obtaining the Fa and my cultivation to validate the magnificence of Falun Dafa. At the same time, I would like to share my personal understanding. Some practitioners have cultivated for more than 10 years and have reached quite a high level of understanding of the Fa and their cultivation. Yet they think they haven't even reached the level of Arhat. In this way, they may be limiting their own cultivation.”
My fellow practitioners, let's reflect often on our own human attachments and completely eliminate them. Master is protecting us. Sentient beings have so many expectations of us. Beings in our paradises are waiting for our return. Through my 13 years of cultivation, I can attest to this: only when we follow Master's Fa-rectification progress closely, are we safe.
