(Clearwisdom.net) In the recent article "The Ukraine Fa Conference," Teacher again said, "Only when you cultivate yourself well can you establish everything of the future." All the practitioners in China are walking different paths and are at different levels. There are some, just like myself, who have been interfered with and did not cultivate diligently in the past. When time pressing, how can we catch up?
My understanding is, "...cultivation depends on one's own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one's master." The important thing is to have the determination to be diligent, and then Teacher will arrange things for you.
"Glancing back, it's just like cultivating Righteous Fa,
Pausing half way makes salvation hard.
So steel the will, and lift thy leaden leg,
Endure the pain, diligent, and cast off attachments;"(from "Climbing Mount Tai" in Hong Yin)
What is in front of us is just like a staircase. For example, if you have not stepped out, then doing so is a first stepping stone. If you are doing the three things well only some of the time and the results are not optimal, then that is another step. If you are easily discouraged when you advise others to withdraw from the CCP, then the next step is to be solid as a rock and strong as a diamond. If you are depending on others to provide you with truth-clarifying materials, then setting up a home materials production site and using the Internet to help others withdraw from the CCP can also be the next step. Of course, we are not talking about those who have coordinated well as one body.
We all have similar experiences doing the sitting meditation,
"When it's difficult to endure, you can endure it. When it's impossible to do, you can do it." (Zhuan Falun)
If you are not afraid of suffering and hardship, you will see that you have reached a high level.
In my cultivation, I continue to eliminate attachments, and the Minghui/Clearwisdom website has been a great help. It is like a reference book that Teacher has arranged for me. It is almost like, for any issue I have, I can find sharing from other practitioners. (Because my level is limited, I cannot always enlighten on my own from studying the Fa, and this resource is like having solutions already prepared.) It is just like in school, when the teacher asks good students to help other students. For example, I was really troubled by lust because I was slow to get rid of this attachment and I did not have any good method for doing so. A few days ago, a practitioner wrote in an article, "Once a female practitioner told me that she was being interfered with by the attachment to lust. I giggled when I heard that. How can a being that is pure and shining brightly be attracted to a human who has nothing but karma?" And that made me see my own attachment. I was then able to get rid of a lot of bad things.
I truly wish that those practitioners who are not so diligent visit the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. Why not use this good reference that Teacher arranged for us? Is this not a matter of enlightenment quality? If you have a good experience, share it with others. If you are like me, needing help, do not hesitate to get on the Minghui website. We are the disciples of the same Master, "His problem is your problem." If you catch up in your cultivation, we are all happy for you, and Teacher will worry less. Won't the progress of Fa-rectification speed up? Won't those imprisoned fellow practitioners join us sooner?
I have made mistakes and my level is limited. I hope I can still give some hints to other practitioners.
