Dafa Disciples Must Study the Fa - Fa Teaching Given at the 2011 Washington DC Metro Area Fa Conference

(Warm applause)

Good afternoon! (Disciples: Good afternoon, Master!) You’ve all been working hard! (Disciples: Master has been working hard!) I’m pleased to see you. We haven’t had that many Fa conferences in recent years, particularly large-scale ones. That means there have been fewer opportunities to see you in person. But nonetheless, I definitely know that many disciples have done an excellent and a proactive job of clarifying the truth, saving people, and counteracting the persecution, and this has really had a sizable impact. So in this regard, it can be said that you have fulfilled the responsibilities of a Dafa disciple. But, with the larger changes in the situation unfolding, as you are aware, the evil’s factors are becoming fewer and fewer, the vast force of Fa-rectification is pressing forward and removing and thinning out the layers upon layers of factors that separate it from the human world. Thus, it is increasingly drawing near to the human world, and the evil at various dimensional layers is being destroyed on a massive scale, one plane after another. So the presence of such evil things in the human world is progressively less, and weaker, and it is possible that the state of things will undergo a drastic change. But for you, disciples of Dafa, you cannot let up in what you need to do—namely, the three tasks. By all means, you mustn’t. Nothing less than your mighty virtue, your cultivation, and all that you shoulder is bound up in these.
