(Clearwisdom.net) I still remember the first time I watched the Divine Performing Arts show last year. When the curtain opened, I saw numerous gods following the Master Buddha down to the human world to rectify the Fa. With the door to heaven opened, splendid historical scenes began to unfold before the audience, bringing pure kindness and beauty to this world.
We all know what it means for sentient beings to enter the field of the show. However, time is running out for sentient beings. As Dafa practitioners, we are the only hope for them. Looking inward, have we really fulfilled our responsibilities? When the day comes for us to return to our heavenly world, are we sure there is nothing we will regret? Over the years of our truth clarification, we have never had any project on such a grand scale and high caliber as this show. The effort and energy that are being put into the show are beyond our imagination. Are we really cherishing this show? Divine Performing Arts has deep implications in the Fa-rectification, which we probably do not fully understand yet.
Speaking of Holiday Wonders, it seems we have all become accustomed to the difficulty of selling tickets. We are all waiting for miracles to happen during the last few days before the show. However, have we ever realized what our tardiness will bring to the Fa rectification? In the past, because we didn't do well and failed to sell tickets well, Teacher had to go through tremendous hardship to save sentient beings Himself. We have no idea what kind of difficulty we bring to Fa rectification because of the residual factors the old forces have planted in us.
The show in New York City is what practitioners describe as our flagship show. The success of this show is of paramount importance to the overall success of the show. The righteous thoughts we have and the personal support we can offer by going to New York are encouraging to New York practitioners. We must also send forth righteous thoughts well at 9 PM and 10 PM every night to support the show. Teacher has given us divine abilities, which we should use well at this pivotal moment. Even if we can't do more here in the human world, we must utilize our righteous thoughts in other dimensions to help support the show.
Reflecting on the show we had for the Mid-Autumn Festival, we did not do enough at the beginning. However, after experience sharing, we realized we needed to do more. Many practitioners took the initiative to find more opportunities to sell tickets, which ensured the success of the show. I remember that right after that show, we immediately began planning for the New Year show. The morality of the human world is going downhill rapidly; saving sentient beings is like putting out a fire. Is there any time for us to be idle? We all know the importance for practitioners to realize the urgency of saving sentient beings. Only when we have the righteous thought to save sentient beings, will those in our celestial body come to buy tickets. We do need to make unprecedented efforts in order to save people who have a predestined relationship with us.
We have to ask ourselves: do we really have the confidence that our New Year show is selling well now? Or are we still hoping that miracles will happen just a few days before the show? Have we tried our best to harmonize this project for which Teacher has put in so much effort? When we only spare some limited time to participate in this project, do we really have a pure heart to validate the Fa? Knowing that the ticket sales are far from what Teacher intends, we should really be ashamed. We are too far from the cultivation state required by Teacher.
We can never slack off. The Mid-Autumn Festival show Toronto was a good example. The moment we let down our guard, the subway stopped running, which prevented people from coming to see the show. We came to realize that we cannot only rely on everyday people's PR methods to promote our show. Whether such methods can play a role depends on whether we have righteous thoughts.
Teacher said in "Fa Teaching at the U.S. Capital,"
"...the old cosmos could last up through to today and reach this point, and the fact that sentient beings and mankind have been able to remain up to the present, is because these beings have been awaiting salvation. In other words, then, they have been waiting for Dafa disciples to establish their mighty virtue and at the same time show the capacity Dafa disciples have for saving sentient beings."
Teacher also said in "Fa Teaching at the 2007 New York Fa Conference,"
"As Dafa disciples, if right now you cannot accomplish that and lead beings to salvation, then you will have failed to fulfill the vows you once made, and will have brought calamity to the entire Fa-rectification, the universe, and sentient beings."
As Dafa disciples who have come down to this world with Teacher, we all know how difficult it is to cultivate during the Fa rectification period, as well as to save sentient beings. So we must not slack off or miss the opportunity Teacher has bestowed upon us to save sentient beings.
