Teacher has said, "If you are doing well in your cultivation, you will do well in spreading the Fa in your local area and practitioners will do better in their cultivation." ["A person in Charge Is Also a Cultivator" in Essentials for Further Advancement] Zhuan Falun close to a hundred times. However, I found that some of them were obstructed by many human notions and they unknowingly limited the Fa with their human understanding. The Fa in turn restrained them. I had expected to learn from the veteran practitioners when I first met them, but didn't expect that some of them would be in such a state.

Once, I was invited to host an experience-sharing meeting of assistants and veteran practitioners. The director called many veteran practitioners to take part in this meeting. It had just started when an assistant handed me a note, which read, "The understanding of the Fa at higher levels can only be attained through predestined relationships; it should not be casually explained." (Falun Dafa Explication) After I had read the note, I earnestly spoke to everyone present about the topic. "I am not sharing my thoughts with a show-off mentality. I just want to discuss with all of you my personal understanding of the Fa. I just started with a few words, but you already feel that I speak from a high level. Actually, I haven't even talked about my understanding of Fa at my own realm. Zhuan Falun over one hundred times. I've been telling myself that I want to cultivate beyond the Three Realms as soon as possible, and I've thought of this as a big vow. Now I realize that I had no idea what "The cultivation of the Great Fa" is really all about, and my way of thinking had become a great obstacle for me to make breakthroughs within the Fa." Since then we have held many group studies and tried to break through human notions in our study of the Fa. As a consequence of these studies, practitioners in the whole area gradually improved their understanding of the Fa from within the Fa.

I had several opportunities to attend Master's overseas lectures, but I felt the Dafa cultivation environment needed me to study the Fa with even more local practitioners. I have always been in good spirits and have never been tired. Wherever I go, I follow a natural course, never act forcefully and remain rational. Looking within to examine myself is very natural and instinctive for me. I don't consider myself to be at a higher level than others and never set out to just willfully "do something." Therefore, my personal cultivation and the work I do for Dafa naturally fuse together.

When incidents of interfering with or undermining Dafa arose, I usually didn't try to deal with it deliberately. Instead, I exchanged opinions with other practitioners about how to understand and how to study Dafa. When practitioners put their minds to the Fa without others' advice, they naturally discovered their own attachments and problems study the Fa. Sharing my understanding with them enabled them to study the Fa more earnestly, rather than giving credence to the words of those who thought they had already reached consummation and no longer needed to study the Fa.

Recently I have been to some places and met some of the people who claim to have reached consummation. Their bodies are not locked up and they do not need to study the Fa. They told us that Zhuan Falun was the elementary school-level textbook, so let us not be attached to it. We should put down Zhuan Falun and enlighten to the Fa at higher levels. These were complete lies. I shared my cultivation experiences: the fact that my mind

We have seen several cases where corrupt beings from higher dimensions possessed individuals who didn't have righteous minds. Their purpose was to destroy practitioners' righteous belief in Dafa. Those phenomena appeared mainly in the period before the publication of Master's article "Determination and Solidity." It would normally happen this way: Practitioners who were usually not diligent in studying the Fa would suddenly experience a dramatic change in their xinxing [mind nature]. They would seem to have a high understanding of the Fa and their state of mind was very peaceful. Their words could easily move veteran practitioners to tears. Usually acting in the name of Teacher, they said things others could not grasp or comprehend. They would know what you did today and would point out your attachments. Many practitioners were fooled and thought this came from the benevolence of Teacher. They appeared to be very compassionate, while indicating that other practitioners were not very compassionate. They acted like those people who think they have already achieved consummation recently. In the face of this situation, we, first of all,

I have the following understanding through Fa study: The stars inside the solar system rotate just like the motion of the solar system; the rotation of the solar system is just like that of the galaxy; the galaxy rotates just like the rotation of the universe. If you assimilate into a layer of the Fa, you will have the power of the Fa at that layer. It is the manifestation of the Fa to those lives who have cultivated to that realm and it is a natural result. Consequently, if you cultivate well you can spread the Fa well, and the other practitioners around you can cultivate well along with you. If you are attached to your personal consummation and cannot cultivate according to a broader perspective, it will be difficult for the beauty and magnificence of the Fa in a higher realm to manifest itself to you. Teacher has said, "The Buddha Fa is boundless. The Fa is as vast as the universe." This is a whole new theory of the universe. Master has been using human concepts of the universe to bring us up to higher levels, where we can measure everything from the macroscopic to the microcosmic in terms of the Fa. He enriches our intelligence with the Fa, which enable us to have insights into the immeasurable and boundless world, the mysteries of everything, from particles and molecules to the universe, from the even smaller to the even greater.

4. Powerful Main Consciousness

When I read Master's article "Further Comments on Superstition,"[published on July 13, 1999] I realized more tribulations would come and we should prepare for them, although other practitioners thought it was just another opportunity given to human beings. I didn't expect that a tribulation could come so quickly. When I saw veteran practitioners and veteran assistants one after another showing up on TV [to denounce their cultivation in Falun Dafa], I felt it was inevitable. I was calm and not moved at all when I faced criticism, because I knew we should endure everything. At work, my serene and peaceful mind and my

Before going to Beijing, many practitioners repeatedly shared thoughts on why we should not have any human attachments when going there. When I returned to my hometown I made a wish to Master: "Master, I'm determined to follow the most righteous way. Please help me!" I saw that many practitioners in my hometown were at a loss. With my instinctive understanding of Dafa, I knew what I should do. I immediately shared my experiences with other practitioners on how the practitioners around me, and myself, cultivated in an open and dignified manner. It built up their righteous faith and made them realize that many practitioners still steadfastly cultivated Dafa with their mind unmoved. They started going to other places to share their experiences, and thus even more practitioners cultivated Dafa in a dignified manner. I went back home and shared experiences with many veteran practitioners regarding my understanding of the relationship between one's personal consummation and practitioners' collective improvement. For a period of time I felt very anxious as I saw many veteran practitioners being arrested and fewer and fewer practitioners remaining; at the same time, there were still many practitioners who had not truly followed the Fa. But I was not discouraged and continued to do what I should do with wisdom. Many veteran practitioners around me still cultivate very well. They have been helping to maintain an environment for group studies for over a year.

I have met several practitioners overseas. Their pure hearts towards Dafa moved me. But I was also anxious and I said, "There are veteran practitioners here [you can depend on the veteran practitioners in China]. After you come to Beijing, go back home [overseas] early to study and spread the Fa together. It is such a good opportunity to widely spread the Fa to more people."

While I was doing things for Dafa, I knew I would eventually take the stepgoing to Beijing. (By the way, I don't depend on hints to cultivate; rather, I understand everything clearly through Dafa, for I realize that one is already having tribulations if one is attached to such hints. Only righteous enlightenment that comes from clear and conscious cultivation of Dafa can allow one to reach the state of "no confusion and no puzzlement"). When everything had become suitable, I went to Beijing with a pure and clean heart. After I came back, I realized there was a big difference between personal cultivation and cultivation during Fa-rectification. My main consciousness became indestructibly strong. My righteous belief in Dafa was so powerful that it would have been able to split mountains. More and more I began to realize how fast the course of Fa-rectification was advancing. We would be able to do Dafa work with greater wisdom. After getting rid of human notions, we can easily make use of

After repeatedly studying Master's article "Beyond the Limits of Forbearance," I gradually realized how to adjust one's state of mind to become a God. My main consciousness becomes daily ever more powerful. I will not allow any corrupt matters to exist and any old cosmic forces to test Dafa by taking advantage of any factors of my personal improvement. I no longer look at problems based on my personal improvement and personal consummation. I know my cultivated side is omnipotent and has insights into everything. When I take the initiative to clear away the obstacles in my mind, my true nature can participate well in the Fa-rectification. I feel my well-cultivated side comes out like a mighty river of molten steel from a blast furnace, topping the mountains and overturning the seas. I feel I can restrain evil human thoughts; I am able to put the human thoughts in the palm of my hand, effectively explain to people the truth of Dafa; my mighty righteous thoughts can change components of matter in the fields of time-space. All of this makes me feel the magnificence of the Buddha Fa. When I read Master's article "Rectifying the Colossal Firmament," no words can express the happiness in my heart.

We also are aware that our cultivation experiences are once more "the manifestations of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human world." So far, no matter how many twists and turns we have encountered on the paths to the Fa, many other practitioners and I have traveled the road without any regrets or need for repentance. We accomplished this because we have been striving forward together and understanding the "Fa within the Fa." We have fulfilled the great oath of "assisting Master in his mission in the human world."
