(Clearwisdom.net) When I studied "Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website's Founding," I realized Master's enormous compassion and ardent expectations once again. Master told us "at a minimum half should be able to remain; or ideally, it could be seventy or eighty percent."("Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website's Founding," 2009) However, our situation of saving people is quite far from Master's requirements.
On the surface, during the past few years I have been clarifying the facts to save sentient beings. However, I did not try my absolute best, and I am far from being diligent in saving people. I did not meet the standard that Master has requested of us at all. There are over 130 employees in my workplace, and eighty percent of them had joined the CCP and its affiliated organizations. Up to now, only less than half of them have quit the CCP. It is obvious that I have done poorly in assisting Master save people in this society. The people I work with in this lifetime have a great predestined relationshipwith me. It is an unavoidable responsibility for me to save them. If I do not save them, who can I count on? Currently, only sixty million people have quit the CCP. That is quite far from the number of people who are supposed to quit.
Regarding the reason why we should save more sentient beings (especially Chinese people), Master has taught us a lot.
Master told us:
"None of you realize what the people in today's world once gave of themselves for this affair. Nor have you realized what magnificent beings they once were, plunging down headlong into such a dangerous place, braving the tremendous peril. That fact alone makes them worthy of your saving them and pulling them out."
"All sentient beings are waiting to be saved, and I can tell you something certain. If Dafa disciples don't act to save them, those people, no matter in what corner of the world they may be, will have no hope unless you go to save them." ("Fa Teaching Given at the NTDTV Meeting," 2009)
"How come you are Dafa disciples right when this massive cosmos is going through a process of renewal and re-creation? That is how great the responsibility of Dafa disciples is, and that responsibility entails saving sentient beings when they are no longer any good and when the world's people have been held hostage by that wretched fiend, the wicked CCP, and have no hope. Furthermore, the sentient beings today came from the heavens, with each, moreover, being the representative of a system of cosmic bodies. Saving one person thus amounts to saving countless, measureless lives, and the mighty virtue that lies behind that act is simply enormous. Would you say that's something an ordinary person could accomplish? Could he be worthy? He couldn't be. Only those who are worthy of being Dafa disciples could accomplish that, and only they could dissolve that wretched fiend." ("Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website's Founding")
Through studying Master's recent articles, I came to understand that, at present, Dafa disciples have two main priorities: one is to cultivate ourselves well and the other is to save sentient beings. These two things are closely related to each other and are also one body. If we cannot cultivate ourselves well, our great compassion cannot emerge. If we don't have great compassion, we will have no energy to do things and no power to clarify the facts. As a result, the effect of saving sentient beings is not good.
Why does Master tell us to cultivate ourselves well again and again? To my understanding, it is the mighty virture and standard for a future god, otherwise, we are not able to Consummate. Master asks us to seize the day to save sentient beings because it was our vow to Master before we came down to earth. If we cannot fulfill our vows, how will we pass the Great Judgment? On the other hand, we are Master's disciples and it is our responsibility to harmonize with Master's wishes. In the past there was a saying, "A Master's orders cannot be disobeyed." As Master's disciples, we should try our best to accomplish what Master asks us to do.
Fellow practitioners, let's seize the time to clarify the facts, save the world's people, and fulfill the great historic vows of saving sentient beings by harmonizing Master's wishes!
Above is my understanding at my current level. If anything is improper, please kindly point it out.
