(Minghui.org) Two years ago I saw the following scene in another dimension: In this universe every true practitioner has a beautiful gong column. But, consummation requires the column to pass the human boundary, which I call “the demarcation line.” I sat on my gong column and saw many practitioners' gong columns were below the demarcation line.
I moved down my gong column to get a better view of the true situation. I saw that 30% of the practitioners had crossed the demarcation line, while 70% hadn't. However, 40% were close and I believe that if they practice Falun Dafa diligently, they also would be able to cross the demarcation line. However, the remaining 30% with gong columns far below the demarcation line are in danger of not meeting the standard for reaching consummation.
This is a serious matter and its impact is tremendous. I was afraid that if I disclosed what I saw it might have a negative impact. I kept quiet, but a high level divine being told me, “That 40% needs to move up!” With all I had seen and been told, I thought that I should speak up. To lessen the impact, I chose to tell only a few practitioners I associated with, knowing that they would spread the news.
After another two years of cultivation I thought many of the 40% practitioners should have crossed the demarcation line by now.
Worried about Practitioners' Diligence
A December 27, 2012 article, “What I Saw While Sending Righteous Thoughts—Dafa Disciples Are One Body, and Saving People is Urgent” (http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2013/4/11/138893.html), stated that 60 to 70% of sentient beings haven't been saved yet. Practitioners that had crossed the demarcation line should have saved all sentient beings they are responsible for. Consequently, with 60 to 70% of the sentient beings still waiting to be saved, that could only mean that no additional practitioners have crossed the demarcation line during the past two years!
Delaying the Arrival of the Fa Rectification
Not long ago, quite a few practitioners wrote about a December 2012 disaster, stating that it had been delayed by Teacher in order to have time to save more sentient beings. Teacher had shouldered more tribulations for the sentient beings! We all understand that Teacher is benevolent. What I want to say is that, for those who truly practice cultivation, improvement in character is not a problem. The reason is that Teacher has shouldered our karma. Our suffering is a lot less than that of practitioners in ancient times.
Teacher said:
“Did you know that Fa-rectification disciples who aren’t able to come through the Fa-rectification period will not have another chance to cultivate, because throughout history you have already been given all the best things? Today you have barely had any hardship in your personal cultivation, and you haven’t been asked to bear the enormous sins yourselves that you committed over your many lifetimes. Meanwhile, I have enabled you to raise your levels in the fastest way, kept everything good from your past, replenished things with what’s better at every level for you, always given you in cultivation all the most magnificent things of every realm, and have made it possible for you to return after Consummation to your highest realm’s position.” (Essentials for Further Advancement II)
I understand that the initial starting date of the Fa-rectification of the human world has already passed. Some practitioners have not reached the required standard for consummation. Beginning the Fa-rectification would result in the loss of these practitioners. Teacher did not want this to happen. That's why the beginning date has been postponed to give more time to these practitioners and also allow more sentient beings to be saved. However, I believe that Teacher has to shoulder more hardship because of this extension.
We like to state that we appreciate what Teacher and the Fa did for us. However, it needs to be said that true appreciation requires that we improve our character, do the three things well, reach consummation, and return home with Teacher! On New Year's day many wished Teacher happiness. Teacher will be truly happy if we can reach consummation.
To keep Teacher from having to bear more hardship, all practitioners have to be diligent and reach consummation.
