(Minghui.org) I am a female Falun Dafa practitioner in a rural area. I know several elderly practitioners who appeared to be diligent about doing the three things. However, whenever winter came, they were cold and sought comfort. Some moved to the city and stayed in their children’s warm homes. They forgot their mission and forgot to save more people.
A practitioner in her 80s appeared to be in good health and did the three things well. Her daughter-in-law even commented on how she was able to do household chores even at her advanced age. However, when winter came, she went to her son’s home in the city where it was warm. There was no environment there for group Fa study and saving people. One day, she was admitted to the hospital with vomiting and diarrhea. She eventually lost her righteous thoughts and died.
Another practitioner was in her 90s. She looked healthy and rode her tricycle to take truth-clarifying brochures to save people at the village fair. Her adult children who did not live with her worried about her and installed a surveillance camera in her home. Her children would monitor her daily activities and be alarmed if she fell. She took this as a good thing and shared it with other practitioners. One said to her, “Why do you think about falling? You are a Dafa practitioner; we are ageless.” However, she did not listen. A few days ago, she came down with sickness karma and died.
There was another practitioner in her 70s. She went to her son’s warm house in the city. She later came down with COVID and ended up in the hospital.
My dear fellow practitioners, what Master has given us is cultivation of both mind and body. We may appear to be old in this dimension but we are, in fact, young in another dimension. Our original soul may only be a few years old.
I am in my 60s, but I never say I am “old.” I ride my electric motorbike daily to validate the Fa. Sometimes I drive a car as good as a young man. We are not old!
Master said,
“The sciences now hold that time has a field, and that time’s influence cannot extend beyond it. It’s not possible for time, in one dimension, to have influence over things in other dimensions which are ruled by altogether different laws of time and space. So time, here, would have simply no impact on matter of other dimensions. And the same would be true for your body, which would no longer be mortal in any sense.” (The Second Talk, Zhuan Falun)
Master has already told us that our bodies are not ordinary people’s. Why do we still think we are “old?” Whenever we think that we are “old,” the substance of “old” will enter our bodies.
Master also said, “Aging, sickness, and death are also kinds of dark beings ...” (The Fifth Talk, Zhuan Falun)
Fellow practitioners, we should not let the “old devil” tie us down. We are Dafa disciples who walk on the divine path. At this critical moment, please let go of such a human attachment, study the Fa diligently, and save more people.
Please point out anything incorrect.
