(Clearwisdom.net) It seems to me that our revered Master hasn't taught the Fa for quite a long time. That should be seen a good thing for us Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, because only when we have big omissions in our Fa-rectification cultivation—and have seriously gone astray from the Fa—will Master teach the Fa to correct our cultivation paths and offer guidance in our cultivation practice. If Master doesn’t teach the Fa, it means that we have walked our cultivation paths comparatively well, righteously and steadily, and that we have been comparatively mature in everything we do in our cultivation, and Master can worry about us less. This is certainly a good thing, and also what we hope for as Dafa disciples.
As Dafa disciples, we do want to listen to and read Master's new Fa-lectures. Whether or not there is any problem that needs to be addressed, we all want Master to teach the Fa more and often—this is for sure every Dafa disciple's wish, although some elements of human emotions are involved in this wish.
But after I finished reading Master's new Fa-lecture I suddenly woke up and felt very ashamed, because I haven't done a good job, have fallen short of meeting Master's and Dafa's requirements, and particularly have fallen far short on the issue of believing in Master and the Fa. Just as Master said, "There are in fact a lot of other instances of failing to believe in the Fa." (“What Does it Mean to “Help Master Rectify the Fa”?”)
I also realized that my own notions still took the upper hand when I faced some specific issues, and I still couldn't readily look within and cultivate myself when encountering conflicts. Some attachments even became increasingly stronger. There are so many serious problems—how could Master worry about us less? These problems exist because our belief in Master and the Fa remain in theory and stays within the limited scope we are willing to accept.
In His latest Fa-teaching, Master solemnly pointed out many problems we have, some of which are very serious. We Dafa disciples shouldn't think that Master's teaching targets others, but not ourselves. As long as we evaluate ourselves with Master's Fa, we will find many of our problems and shortcomings and realize that we are far from being diligent, and how we fail to live up to Master's expectations.
Believing in Master and the Fa isn't a catch phrase: it means that we can recognize and handle all issues that we face from the standpoint of the Fa; no matter how huge the tribulations or challenges are, we can remain steadfast in our belief in Master and Dafa, without wavering in the slightest, and truly remain as rock-solid and indestructible as a diamond. If this were really so, we could walk well and righteously forward on our cultivation path, rescue more sentient beings, and fulfill our vows made long ago.
The above are my thoughts I want to share with fellow practitioners after reading Master's new teaching, "What Does it Means to 'Help Master Rectify the Fa?'"
