New Practitioner: Assimilating to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance

Feb. 17, 2013 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Taiwan

(Minghui.org) In the nine months since I started practicing Falun Dafa. I have had several dreams.

In the first dream, I saw a ship approaching the shore. Many practitioners jumped into the ship. When it was my turn and a practitioner told me to quickly jump into the ship, I hesitated. I was afraid that I wouldn't make it onto the ship and would fall into the sea. The ship quickly left and I cried right there and then.

The second dream was also about getting on a ship. I was waiting for the ship and I thought to myself that I had to move fast. I was on my motor scooter and had to ride around a few stairs before I could reach the shore. I decided to take a short cut and ride on the stairs. When I got to the shore, the ship left again.

I later read in the article “Teaching the Fa at the Great Lakes Fa Conference in North America” in Guiding the Voyage:

“Of course, as for what I’m doing now, if there are new students who obtain the Fa, they’re very likely to become the mainstay, the elite, of the next group of people who’ll obtain the Fa.”

I had a strong thought when I saw the words “the next group.” I did not want to be in the next group. I want to go home with Master.

I had the third dream. There was a very big ship, and this time I was looking for a job on the ship. There were many floors on the ship and I took an elevator up. When the door of the elevator opened, I was amazed at how many people I saw. They were from every ethnic group. They wore the same good quality type of work uniform. The colors varied, depending on the ethnicity. The girls wore silk suits with high heel shoes. They looked slim and elegant. Everyone looked young with an extraordinary temperament. They all seemed very busy and kept running around. Compared to them, I looked shabby. After I read Master’s lectures, I finally understood that I had to do the three things well if I want to be a practitioner during the Fa rectification. That was why Master gave me hints in my dreams that I should work on the Fa ship.

In the process of clarifying the truth at tourist sites, I saw two kinds of sentient beings. One kind smiled and was friendly, as if they had been waiting for me to help them quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The other kind was indifferent and inpatient and did not want to hear anything I said. I realized that if I had purity in my eyes, talked to them kindly, and wished them well with a compassionate heart, I could melt away the indifference in their hearts and their hostility and save people. Of course there were always people who would not listen no matter what. I felt sorry for them because they had been suppressed by the CCP for over 60 years and their minds were poisoned. I told them that I welcomed them to Taiwan to hear the truth. I hoped that they would make the right choice and quit the CCP and its affiliates at their next stop in Taiwan.

After clarifying the truth, on my way home I always felt extremely calm and tranquil. Later I realized that, in the process of clarifying the truth to people, my heartfelt compassion eliminated many of my attachments. Master wants us to save people and, at the same time, to cultivate ourselves.

After reading Master’s article “To Choose,” my understanding is that only if practitioners choose to step up will sentient beings have the choice to be saved. In “20th Anniversary Fa Teaching,” Master said:

“Despite whatever the beings in those realms might say about how extraordinary you are, prior to Consummation you are nobody. Perhaps long ago you were a being there or were once their King, but that’s all, for you are now a human being and you cannot go back.”

Only those who progress diligently can reach consummation. I must be more diligent and save more people so that I can help Master rectify the Fa and accomplish my prehistoric vow.
