(Minghui.org) As a cultivator, we all know that after studying and practicing the teachings of Falun Dafa for a while, cultivation changes one's life.

Master taught us:

“As a practitioner, your path of life will be changed from now on. My fashen will rearrange it for you. How is it rearranged? How many years does a person still have in life? One will not know it oneself. Some people may get a serious illness after a year or half a year, or they may be ill for several years. Some people may suffer cerebral thrombosis or other illnesses, and cannot move at all. How can you practice cultivation for the rest of your life? We must fix all of them for you and prevent these things from occurring.” (Zhuan Falun)

Some fellow practitioners thought that when they practiced Dafa, they would be blessed, their health would improve, they'd have more chances to get promotions at work, it would be easier to get better scores at school, etc. And when things did not turn out to be as they expected, they were perplexed: “I studied the Fa and also did the exercises, how come I haven't gotten these benefits?”

I do believe that cultivation can change one's life. It will resolve the factors that would affect or prevent one from success in cultivation. That does not mean that you will achieve fame, power or other benefits that might not be meant for you in the first place.

As a cultivator, we know that one's virtue determines one's blessings; for a cultivator, one's virtue is used to transform one's body and gong. It is not for one to pursue comfort, leisure and enjoyment.

I believe that as a cultivator, as long as one attentively studies the Fa, abides by the principles of the Fa, and solidly cultivates, one will achieve the level that one deserves.
