If We Follow Master's Instructions and Do the Three Things Well, We Can Achieve Twice the Results with Half the Effort in Our Everyday Duties

Feb. 13, 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) Everything comes to this world for the Fa; we Dafa disciples have come to help Master rectify the Fa. Therefore, to be responsible to the Fa, to validate the Fa, and to help the beings surrounding us understand the Fa, are the duties of Dafa disciples. Everything comes with truth and power, and to achieve twice the result with half the effort is also among them. To validate the Fa and to understand the Fa correctly are of the ultimate importance, since this is how the judgment of a life to be saved or to be exterminated is made. The task of helping Master rectify the Fa is extremely important. As long as we do a good job on the tasks that we must do well the most, the things in our everyday life will be in the best state. It is not possible that we Dafa disciples do well the three things, but fail on the human level.

The Fa is connected, all-harmonizing, and brings the best to the world. I read such a story: A student found a Dafa truth clarification CD and played it for his classmates in the class. As a result, he improved a lot on his next exam. Why? Because he did the most righteous and the best thing in the world. The Fa has generated everything and created everything. Many things come naturally without pursuing. You can easily get lost if you are attached to something. Why must the real gods be responsible for the righteous factors? It is the understanding one has after he enlightens, because the righteous factors are the best from the microscopic level to the macroscopic level, and from the individual to the entirety. It also creates the best. Abandoning the notion for personal gain and being only responsible for the "righteous factors" would be satisfactory.

In fact, I realized why Master said that he doesn't accept the old force's persecution, and not even the persecution itself. We come here not to fight against the persecution, but to help Master to rectify the Fa. Why is it that Master said that as long as we do the three things well, everything else would come together naturally? The persecution is something nonessential; as long as we are righteously following our path and meet the Fa principles, it does not interfere with us. Master says in Zhuan Falun:

"If you are a true practitioner, our Falun will safeguard you. I am rooted in the universe. If anyone can harm you, he or she would be able to harm me. Put simply, that person would be able to harm this universe."

For those in school, the time to study is very limited, but Dafa disciples don't want to lag behind in their studies to create a false impression that cultivation negatively affects one's education. In fact, the lack of time to study is something secondary; a cultivator should look into himself to find the real reasons. Dafa disciples are the particles that make up the new universe. We are so important that as long as our xinxing meets the requirements of the Fa and as long as our mind is pure, anything that is not good will not be able to affect us. On the surface it seems that we do not want to lag behind in our studies, and we seem to be responsible for the Fa. However, pursuing good grades might be an attachment. To be attached to good grades is also a reason one might get side tracked in cultivation.

Fellow practitioners who cultivate the righteous Fa, under no circumstances should you forget our mission. To help Master rectify and validate the Fa is to let people know the Fa, to let them understand that the Fa is good, to have a chance to assimilate to the Fa and to be able to survive and have a future. We should never forget the three things that Master asked us to do. Under no circumstances should we forget to rectify the Fa, to clarify the truth, and to help people know the Fa. It is easy to get off the track if we are attached to our everyday things.

We have a family business and I needed to learn finance. At the time the finance bureau was going through test reforms, and only 40% of those taking the new tests passed. I was scheduled to take the last offering of the new test. Because of the low passing rate, the test format was eventually changed. I was the eldest student in the class, and the lecturer breezed through the materials. I was busy taking notes without any time to think. I had never touched a PC and have not taken any classes for tens of years. My husband was waiting for me to pass the test, and he was also weighing my ability. At the time I was working, taking classes, preparing for the test, thinking about writing articles for Minghui (Chinese version of Clearwisdom Net) and discussing things with fellow practitioners. What should I do? We came here for the Fa, and the Fa is of our number one priority. Though time was very tight, I still squeezed time to study the Fa and to do the exercises. I studied hard in the classes, and wrote Minghui articles when I got home. I felt a little uneasy at first, and had some worries and concerns. Later on I abandoned everything about myself and put Fa validation, discussion, and experience sharing with fellow practitioners as my number one priority. I wrote five articles during that busy time. I passed the two tests the first time, even though the passing rate was very low. Some college graduates and accounting professionals did not do as well. I realized that under any circumstances, the everyday people's things that we must perform will have twice of result with half the effort if we keep in mind the mission of our righteous cultivation and position everything in its right place. Everything comes for the Fa, and everything exists for the Fa. It all depends on how we position them.

Cultivation is supernatural, and I have a lot of experiences to share. It is very important to place the Fa first, to find problems within oneself, to think of others first, and to be selfless. I progressed well some times, while I slowed down some other times. When Minghui was asking for articles on cultivation experiences, I was insensitive and missed the opportunities even though I had a lot to write. Sometimes I felt that I was not like a cultivator and failed to have the sense of urgency. One night in a dream I was looking up into the sky and asked: Master, what should I do? Master appeared in the shining moonlight suddenly. He walked back and forth slowly with his head looking down slightly. After walking for a while, Master stopped and turned towards me and looked at me. I cried while Master was looking at me. Master is worried and concerned about Dafa disciples who are not progressing well. Master is watching us, waiting for us. Let us go home together with Master.
