(Minghui.org) I have benefited a lot from reading Falun Dafa practitioners' sharing articles on the Minghui website. Reading them helps us to find our own shortcomings so that we can improve.
The old forces arranged a set of things for practitioners in an attempt to make us fail in our cultivation. So how do we walk well on the path that Master has arranged for us? The answer is very simple: We must study the Falun Dafa teachings well.
Due to the existence of the old force elements, Fa-rectification period practitioners will face challenges during the entire course of our cultivation.
Master asks us to study the Fa well, do things according to Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and, in the end, assimilate to Dafa. But the old forces have also arranged our cultivation in every detail, including the karma we created lifetime after lifetime and our attachments and misconceptions formed during our many reincarnations. These then become tribulations that test us in our cultivation, seeking to drag us down and make us fail in cultivation.
The only way to break through the old forces' arrangement is to study the Fa well. If we study the Fa less, our thinking will remain the same as everyday people's.
When the old universe has come to the final stage in the cycle of creation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction, the Creator will come to rectify the Fa. The entire cosmos is being renewed, because the old forces' arrangement and its mechanisms have deviated from the Fa.
Master uses the three words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance to enlighten us and help us gradually comprehend the sacred truth of cultivation. And at the same time, they enable us to realize the selfishness of the old universe and how it functions in our bodies.
The Creator has created the new universe. It is a holy, predestined relationship that we need to cherish.
But many factors in the old universe have tried to block us and interfered with our Fa study and cultivation. For example: wasting time, indulging in every kind of attachment, feeling sleepy, and other factors that come from other dimensions.
We need to pay attention to these interferences and eliminate them. We need to walk well on the path Master has arranged and save more sentient beings.
