Master Li said in "The Effect of Righteous Thoughts", "the places at higher levels of the cosmic colossal firmament are being cleaned up, destroyed, or assimilated extremely rapidly by the immense force of Fa-rectification, every minute there are countless immense universes that are being swept through by the force of Fa-rectification and at the same time being quickly rectified by the Fa."

My understanding is that if we cannot study the Fa well, we might not be able to keep up with the pace of Fa-rectification. Many sentient beings in our own cosmic systems might not reach the standard when the force of Fa-rectification arrives, and therefore they will be repositioned or eliminated.

In the past, while clarifying the truth I was always waiting for and depending on others. I always used everyday people's thinking process to look at a problem and felt that currently people are still not awakened yet and we should put in bigger efforts to eliminate the evil behind them. I wanted to wait for their main consciousness to awaken before explaining the truth to them. Even though Master Li told us in "To All Students at the Nordic Fa Conference": "don't wait, don't rely on others, and don't just hope for changes in external factors." However I still did not realize how important it was to take the initiative. One day I suddenly realized that the process of Fa-rectification is so rapid that every minute, countless lives are being rectified by the Fa. That means some of these beings are being eliminated in the Fa-rectification and some of them are being assimilated. The countless sentient beings in the cosmos that are poisoned by the lies are facing the danger of being eliminated at every moment. Master Li said, "Exposing the evil and clarifying the truth to the people of this world is only to show them the persecution that Dafa and the disciples have endured, and its ultimate purpose is to save the people of this world, to get rid of the poison in sentient beings' minds that the evil has inundated them with, and to rescue them from the danger of being weeded out in the future due to their hostility toward Dafa. This is a reflection of Dafa disciples' grand mercy in saving sentient beings even while enduring persecution." ("No Politics") In the past I did not understand whose "sentient beings" Master Li was referring to. Now I understand that inside everyone's body there are countless sentient beings. Explaining the truth to the people of the world will not be in vain. Our clarifying the truth is doing our best to save the sentient beings that are poisoned by the lies before the force of the Fa-rectification arrives. This process is very important. Every Dafa practitioner in this process is confronted with the test of how to correctly choose his or her path. There is no room for slowing down in clarifying the truth.

At a critical time like this, it is extremely important to study the Fa well, clarify the truth and eliminate the evil with righteous thoughts.

These are my own understandings, please compassionately point out anything improper.

The first step for a cultivator is to reach the state of being free from illness. Then it is possible to develop gong. This is my understanding of a principle of the Fa. However, with the attachment of wanting to cure one's own illnesses and holding on to this attachment tightly, it will be impossible to gain anything at all.

When a cultivator reaches a certain level through cultivation, the tianmu (celestial eye) is capable of seeing the beauty and wonders of other dimensions. That is the manifestation of one's level. It is a state one must go through during cultivation. However, if one continuously pursues the opening of one's tianmu, the tianmu will be tightly shut, and it will even be damaged because this capability cannot be pursued.

When Fa-rectification has reached a certain level, the evil factors in the other dimensions controlling the head of the evil need to be eliminated because that is the requirement of Fa-rectification and the direction of the cosmic climate. We are just following the cosmic climate. However, if we perform tasks in Fa-rectification as if we were accomplishing a task in everyday life and following the notions of everyday people in doing things, it will be very hard to achieve our goals.

Whenever there is a need for us to do certain things in Fa-rectification, there is a need for us to improve in our cultivation. When we do things related to Dafa, we need to do them without any pursuit. Once our xinxing has upgraded to the required standard and our gong has reached required level, things will naturally be successful. We should not forget that Master says "cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while transformation of gong is done by one's master." (from Zhuan Falun)
