Determination
and Solidity
The Buddha Fa cultivation
practice is majestic. At the same time, it is also serious. Disciples, you only
know that there exist truth and falsehood in the secular world, but you do not
know that lives in other dimensions—including gods—vary greatly throughout
the universe, due to their different levels. This leads to differences in their
understandings of things and of the truth. In particular, due to the
circumstance that they are unclear about the reality regarding the Fa-rectification,
some have caused severe interference and resistance, doing damage by using
different methods to come into contact with students. They have thereby caused
some students who have their Third Eye open at low levels to have doubts and
confusion about Dafa. Among these beings within the Three Realms (the so-called
“gods”) and the various so-called “high-level beings” who have fled over
from higher dimensions in order to escape the Fa-rectification, most of them
do not know the truth about the Fa-rectification and resist the Fa-rectification
itself. They are undermining the students’ upstanding faith and determination
by exhibiting or telling the students some of their understandings based on
their own notions, or by imparting some things to the students, and so on.
Actually, those are all very low-level things and are deceptive lies. Since they
are gods, they appear to be very kind, causing groups of students who have
insufficient understanding of Dafa to develop thoughts of wavering.
Consequently, some people have stopped studying Dafa, and some have even gone to
the opposite side. At present, this problem is very serious. Because of this,
these people’s situation is extremely lamentable. At the same time, they will
never regain what they have lost, and this is a huge disaster in their
life.
I have
already mentioned all of this to you in Essentials
for Further Advancement and in Zhuan
Falun, in the topics: “no second cultivation way,” and “how to
practice cultivation with your Third Eye open.” Why can’t you handle
yourself properly once you see those so-called “higher beings,” who feign
kindness, talking to you? Can they have you reach Consummation? Why don’t you
think about it? Why did they ignore you before you learned Dafa? Why have they
become so concerned about you after you have learned Dafa? Cultivation is
serious. I have already taught you all the principles of the Fa. All of these
things are something that you have to go through and tests that you have to pass
in your personal cultivation practice. Failing to pass them is your own doing.
All this time I have been giving you opportunities to realize this and to get
back on track. For the sake of Dafa, I could not wait any longer and had to
write this article. I know that when you read this article you are bound to be
awakened; but this does not come from your own cultivation. Why haven’t others
been interfered with? I have said that the Fa-rectification started from outside
of the Three Realms, and therefore some so-called “gods” within the Three
Realms could not see it. Thus, they dared to do things that harmed Dafa. When
the Fa-rectification entered the Three Realms and the human world, they had
nowhere to escape to. However, there are records of everything they have done,
which then become the future positions that they place themselves into. Some
will lower their levels, and some will become human beings. Some will become
ghosts in the netherworld, and some will be completely destroyed through almost
endless and repeated destruction as payment for all that they have done; this is
because those are the positions that they get through the most truthful
exhibition of their own xinxing. This
way, all lives from above are also rearranging their positions in Dafa, not to
mention these things in the human world and its ordinary human beings. In the Fa-rectification,
there are those who ascend, there are those who descend, and there are those who
are destroyed. Regardless of whether they are gods, humans, or ghosts, all will
be placed anew in one of the positions in different realms—from survival to
total elimination. You human beings are treasured because you are able to
practice cultivation; that is why you are taught such high-level principles. You
are treasured because through cultivation you are capable of becoming truly
great Enlightened Beings with virtuous enlightenment and righteous Fa.
