(Minghui.org) I have witnessed the passing of many Dafa practitioners. Often, these people attained heavenly positions upon their departure, leaving this world in the image of a Bodhisattva or Buddha, which I have observed. These people obtained consummation. Thus, out of respect, others refrain from commenting on what they thought were the merits and shortcomings of the departed person.
I have communicated with some of these practitioners for a time after they left this world. They hinted at the reasons for their departure in these conversations. Typically, I share what I learned with their relatives or practitioners close to them rather than compiling the information. I recently realized that what they revealed to me was not just sharing information but was showing their compassionate wish to share their experiences with other practitioners.
One local practitioner, Uncle Feng, passed away in July. I will share what I observed at my level of understanding.
When I received the call about Uncle Feng’s condition, I immediately went to his home. He seemed to be losing consciousness, and two practitioners were calling for him to return. After seeing his situation, I sat down to send righteous thoughts. In my vision, I saw that Uncle Feng appeared to be impatient with our righteous thoughts, thinking they were of little use. I continued sending them anyway.
I then saw a god standing beside me, wearing a monk’s robe, with a bald head and one hand raised. I also saw a black lotus disk, half bright and half dark, in Uncle Feng’s dantian area and a black being residing in his heart area. Under these circumstances, my righteous thoughts had little impact. Shortly after, the emergency medical services crew arrived but were unable to resuscitate him. Later, his body was taken to the funeral home.
Early the following day, while meditating, I tried to communicate with Uncle Feng. He appeared in a vision, looking sleepy and tired as usual. The skin on the front of his body had hardened. When he was alive, he struggled to maintain a strong main consciousness, especially during Fa study, and while sending righteous thoughts, he often fell asleep. He also had a long-term skin issue and the constant scratching severely damaged his skin. These two unresolved issues ultimately led to his death.
Uncle Feng then manifested in a different image, standing on a large lotus plate. I realized this represented the part of him that had cultivated well and had been separated from his poorly cultivated side.
When I asked him if he would be reincarnated or remain in one place, he replied that he would stay in one place. When I asked about his achievements, I saw a partial view of a Buddha statue with multiple heads stacked, one on top of the other; each head was golden and shining. The bottom layers formed a magnificent base with countless Buddha heads.
I continued cleansing his body by sending righteous thoughts. Around 6:00 p.m. that day, several practitioners and I sent righteous thoughts together to help cleanse Uncle Feng's body. Suddenly, I saw a golden light shining brightly. Uncle Feng appeared in a red robe and had curly blue hair, looking like a young man. His left hand was raised, and his right hand faced outward. A large halo behind him radiated golden light. I had never seen such a clear image of a Buddha, and I wondered if it was real. A few minutes later, the image disappeared.
The following morning, during meditation, I communicated with Uncle Feng again. I asked him to come back if possible, but he did not respond. Later that morning, his remains were cremated. The photo of his ashes showed a distinctive pink fragment, likely a sarira (a high-energy substance from a Buddha’s remains). There were also pieces of skull in green, purple, brown, and white, and some bones displayed human facial features. From my understanding, these seemed related to his karmic debts and why he could not break through.
From my observations, the passing of every practitioner is due to persecution. Evil beings, appearing as dark images, occupied parts of these practitioners’ bodies. Until their bodies were cremated, I always sent righteous thoughts to help expel those evil beings.
Master does not want practitioners to leave this world early, because saving people requires manpower, and one practitioner can accomplish a great deal. However, the passing of a practitioner can be caused by different things. Uncle Feng suffered from two types of karma: chronic fatigue for over 20 years and a skin condition called scleroderma, which can cause hypertension and damage the heart. The emergency crew declared that Uncle Feng died from a heart attack.
Uncle Feng’s life may have been extended for him to cultivate. I believe the human faces seen in his ashes were beings with grudges against him. Perhaps they refused to leave him, causing his fatigue, skin issues, and, ultimately, his death. They controlled him until the final moment of cremation, completing their mission.
Like many practitioners who have passed away, there were many sarira in the cremated remains. I believe his body had been transformed into high-energy substances; he could not take them with him but had to burn them to repay karma. I realized that Master leaves unpaid karma in practitioners’ bodies and dissolves it when their bodies are cremated.
Uncle Feng was actively involved in many Dafa projects and made significant contributions in saving people. He was steadfast in his belief in Dafa, studied the Fa, and did the exercises every day, even amidst great tribulations. Locally, he was recognized as one of the most diligent practitioners. We can learn from his example.
When karmic interference cannot be overcome for a long time, there is often a profound reason behind it, which may eventually threaten a practitioner’s life. As it consumes a practitioner’s willpower, it is crucial to strengthen the main consciousness, which is key to overcoming interference.
To effectively validate the Fa and save people, practitioners must maintain a good state of cultivation and a healthy body, which requires diligent Fa study and doing the exercises.
Uncle Feng’s body had been transformed with high-energy substances, even if we could not perceive them with our human eyes. His superficial karma should not negate his body's transformation, as Dafa cultivation elevates a practitioner’s status. Uncle Feng was the kind of practitioner who achieved sudden enlightenment without displaying his cultivation level. Yet, he attained the level of a great Buddha. We should not be deceived by personal feelings or experiences when we can’t see any changes. Through Dafa cultivation, we will achieve fruition, so we must remain steadfast and cultivate diligently.
We can always learn from others’ experiences. I present Uncle Feng’s case to illustrate the seriousness of cultivation and to learn from what we witnessed about his situation. I hope this will help us cultivate more solidly and do better in saving people, which is certainly what Uncle Feng would have wanted.
