(Minghui.org) The Minghui editor's recent article “Are You A Cultivator? --With Master's Commentary” has made the point even clearer, that our respect and support for Minghui is actually a reflection of how we regard Master and Dafa, and is most important for our cultivation.
This article reminded me of some stories. When the persecution had just began we were in urgent need of access to Master's new articles, as they were our guidance on the path of cultivation. One day in late 1999 a practitioner brought me some articles that actually had been fabricated by the evil persecutors. When I came across another practitioner who was our local coordinator before the persecution began, I asked him, “This article gives me a bad feeling when I read it, why?” He told me that it was a fake. I asked him how he knew that. He said he had received a notice from the Minghui website regarding the issue. I then went to his home to get the notice, made many photocopies of it, and distributed it among other practitioners. At night we collected all the fake Jingwen and burned them. In the flames a ghostly squeal could be heard. All practitioners there were stunned, realizing that evil and malicious elements were behind the fake articles.
We subsequently avoided all articles that were not published on Minghui. Upon seeing articles claiming to be Master's scriptures, we asked, “Was it published on Minghui?” From then on we became immune to any fake scriptures and remained undisturbed no matter how widely they were circulated in other cities. Considering the ultimate gravity of Master's Fa rectification of the cosmos and the authenticity of His scriptures, the guidance in the advancement in our cultivation is naturally of great importance. By all means the evil will make use of fake scriptures to undermine us. That is why Master set up the Minghui website as a trustworthy source for all Dafa practitioners. Our respect and support for Minghui is thus of vital importance to our cultivation.
There was a person who was in charge of a brainwashing center for Falun Gong practitioners. He went to many practitioners saying that he was a person of extraordinary kindness, so kind that he asked practitioners to renounce Falun Gong against their own will only because he did not want to see them be sent to labor camps or prisons. He even said that when he talked to others, it was so powerful that the listener could be moved to tears. However, whenever he heard Minghui he would become hateful right away. Why? Minghui is a window that exposes the evil to the world. Because of Minghui, the evil can find nowhere to hide. It is a mirror that reflects the battle between good and evil in Master's Fa rectification. The maintenance of Minghui and its smooth running is thus a vital part of Master's Fa rectification.
In the course of Master's Fa rectification, Minghui plays the role of a central platform where all Dafa practitioners share their cultivation experiences at different levels and improve together. Among all the things we are supposed to do well in Fa rectification, the improvement in our personal cultivation should always be given the top priority. Only by cultivating ourselves well can we do well the three things. In some cases we might be frustrated by not being able to go through some tribulations, even by studying the Fa specifically, but reading fellow practitioners' cultivation experiences published on Minghui might bring us some inspiration. Many practitioners have had such experiences.
In the latest 9th Minghui Fa conference my articles were not selected for publication, but I read every article written by other practitioners. It was truly inspiring, as I found the attachments that I had failed to see before. It truly helped in my cultivation. I printed some articles and shared them with some new practitioners. They also found them helpful. Respecting and supporting Minghui is cherishing our over-all cultivation environment. Through Minghui we report our cultivation to Master, who spares no effort to save us. As his disciples, it is our obligation to make constant progress in our cultivation through comparing with each other. We will by all means save sentient beings and will not let Master down. It is our will to present Master our achievements so that Master will feel relieved, and this can be done only through Minghui. Also, through Minghui we can see the reports of Fa validation all around the world.
Based on the above reasons, the importance of Minghui, either with respect to Master or Dafa, is conspicuous. Minghui connects us to Master in this mundane world and is closely related to Master's Fa rectification and our doing the three things well.
