(Minghui.org) Coordination is for forming one body. How can we form one body in Mainland China, and what is “a great way has no form but exists as a whole”? I have been thinking about this. Some practitioners say: “We don't have one body here. How come we are not like we were in the early years? We were so united in the beginning. Now no one listens to one another. No one cares about one another. How come we have cultivated to such a state?”
How can we form an indestructible one body, have a stronger resistance against the persecution, and save sentient beings more effectively? I have had more understandings recently. I have been thinking from an ordinary person's perspective: how to form one body as ordinary people would, and how would we use ordinary people's methods to achieve that goal?
I didn't really understand what “a great way has no form but exists as a whole” meant. Our objective is not to make the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) our enemy. It doesn't deserve to be our enemy. Dafa disciples don't have any enemies. Our one body is not to show ordinary people, nor over-turn the evil CCP. Our one body is for elevating and improving as a group to better clarify the truth and save sentient beings.
Master said in his comments on the article “Do Not Differentiate Between Fa-Rectification Projects; 'A Great Way Has No Form' But Exists As a Whole”:
“Each person's cultivation path is different, the way in which each validates the Fa is different, their social statuses are different, their occupations are different, and their -surroundings are different, but they can all cultivate nevertheless. This is the path Dafa presents to its cultivators. Dafa disciples are one body, and I affirm everything they have been doing during Fa-rectification-they are all doing what Dafa disciples should do. Different approaches are in fact the all-encompassing way in which roles are dynamically distributed in the operations of the Fa, and the Fa-power is a reflection of the one body.”
Therefore, in our coordinators' work, we should focus on forming a looking-inward cultivation environment instead of directing, leading or criticizing fellow practitioners, not to mention leading everyone to march with a wave of the arm.
When forming a one body, solid xinxing cultivation is the key. If we mistakenly treat projects as diligence and cause disconnection between doing projects and cultivating xinxing, then we not only will not have a one body but have severe gaps. Then the evil will take advantage of our loopholes to persecute us. From 1999 to now, how many coordinators have been persecuted! How many of them have enlightened along an evil path! How many coordinators have been sentenced to long prison terms, or lost their lives? We really need to become clearheaded.
On the journey of cultivation, no opportunity repeats. If we cannot be clearheaded after such evil “tests” and fundamentally change our ordinary notions, we may lose this precious cultivation opportunity.
When we form a looking-inward cultivation environment and unconditionally assimilate to the Fa, our hearts will be connected with no gaps. I think this is a manifestation of “a great way has no form but exists as a whole.” When we save sentient beings with compassion and righteous thoughts, our environment will change instantly. Then we may be saving hundreds of thousands or millions of people each day instead of 50,000 to 60,000.
Nothing can block Master's path of Fa-rectification. However, disciples' human attachments can cause roadblocks. Our own notions may be roadblocks. Master has talked about this again and again; however, we haven't been clear on this. We evaluate Fa-rectification with our human notions. With our human attachments, we hope for the end of Fa-rectification or the alleviation of our cultivation environment. We are looking outward and pursuing externally. If we cannot relinquish our human attachments, cannot fulfill our missions, how can Fa-rectification end?
My personal understanding is that the extended time and path of cultivation is offered to us with Master's tremendous sacrifice. However, we are still attached to our own attachments, attached to the fact that we are leaders and directing others. Let's let go of such human attachments as soon as possible.
