(Minghui.org) Along with the decline of moral standards, the world appears busy and chaotic. People are easily misled by mistruths that come in sugarcoated disguises. If there were no sugarcoating, perhaps fewer people would fall victim. Yet there is order in disorder. The challenge is not to get lost in the chaos.
I've come to some understandings regarding those who have been discussed in recent Minghui editorials as the “prophet,” "Kongkong," and "Yuanbo."
On the surface, they have something in common: They have all extensively written about their understandings, acted as authorities by answering questions for others, interpreted Master's Fa, violated "no two cultivation ways" by studying Zhouyi, The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Alchemy and other qigong books, and engaged in collecting funds.
Another thing they have in common is that they all claim that Master approved what they did.
The alleged "prophet" wrote that her articles were written while she was under Master's control. "Kongkong" claimed that the collection of funds was done following Master's instruction. "Yuanbo" claimed that he received Master's endorsement for the Divinely Passed Down Culture project. Yet what they claim to be "Master's" is not truly Master's.
I wish to enumerate my understanding of the vicious arrangements that have been made by the old forces regarding this issue.
Part 1
Based on Fa principles, we know that the period of Fa rectification is taking place right now, and our cultivation is that of a "Great Way without form." Master's main body will not give us one in a Fa lecture. That is why we cultivate by following Master's Fa lectures organized in book form.
Each of us lives in a different environment and has different characters and things that we are attached to. There are no role models in cultivation. There is only the Fa to guide us. Most students cultivate themselves without having ever seen Master.
When the alleged "prophet" publicly answered Falun Dafa practitioners' questions on an Internet discussion board, many practitioners tried to stop her. Later she kept attacking media outlets operated by overseas disciples, claiming that they were special agents. She extensively quoted Master's Fa lectures in her posts but offered her own interpretations.
Master's Fa is harmonizing. When teaching the Fa, Master approaches a subject from different angles and at different realms. If the surface words are taken out of context, one will not be able to understand the connections.
The CCP authorities have also been attacking Master's Fa lectures. They have conducted studies on Master's lectures, interpreting them from the perspective of everyday people and of bad people, and argue that there are inconsistencies here and there.
How can one comprehend such an enormous Fa with human thinking? Without enlightening to the inner meaning behind the Fa principles, one only sees the surface words.
Before the "prophet" published her statement opposing Minghui, I knew that a few hundred people would be led astray. Back then, the old forces gloatingly told me that they had recruited a few hundred people. Later they published the statement that indeed had a following of a few hundred people.
Here I would like to talk about the resistance among some fellow practitioners. When a few of us did everything we could to expose the true nature of the "prophet," the fight between the righteous and those who had deviated was fierce.
They not only scolded and cursed us, even fellow practitioners who did not understand what we were doing placed the blame on us. I understand that not everyone will share the same understanding, but one should not play a negative role. Some fellow practitioners even viewed us from the angle of the malevolent side.
We were under great pressure when enduring the scolding, yet some fellow practitioners who observed what was happening did not give us support or understanding. Those practitioners ignored the fact that these are not ordinary conflicts during cultivation. Instead, it was a manifestation of the Fa being undermined.
They did not contact us privately, but instead played negative roles in public, so as to showcase their own understandings by blaming fellow practitioners who safeguard Dafa. Their unrestrained demon nature was taken advantage of by demons, and therefore they played rather negative roles.
Part 2
Those who cultivate with their celestial eye open often encounter false masters and see false things. In fact, Master's fashen usually help us transform our bodies quietly, rarely talking to us.
I have realized based on Fa principles that the "final beings" wanted to use the old forces to destroy all that Master has done, and then destroy the old forces by charging them with interfering with Fa rectification. Their purpose is to eliminate lives that they consider not good. Yet they know that the cosmos has laws that cannot be arbitrarily violated. It did not matter to them who carried out Fa rectification--they would arrange for the old forces to interfere with whoever rectifies the Fa by guiding the cosmos to develop along what they felt was the "good direction."
When the "prophet" was at her peak in attacking Minghui, I realized that the old forces were trying to use her and others to erase Dafa's mighty virtue. Later I met with someone who is with the old forces in the system that opposes Minghui. Their arrangements are such that if the "prophet" and others fail to understand Minghui positively, they will block the paths of these people.
I can tell everyone that Minghui is the path personally arranged by Master.
One day, my primordial spirit returned to a dimension from the past, and I saw the process at a certain level. I saw my parents running for their lives carrying a baby, which was me. The old forces were chasing us. They wanted me to follow the path they had arranged. My parents had foresight, and would not follow their arrangements, and they managed to escape. At that time, I saw some righteous gods locked in a fierce fight with the old forces.
For an instant, I saw there were two systematic arrangements in our world. One path was personally arranged by Master, which is Minghui. The other path ran next to Minghui's, which could serve as interference to Minghui and was arranged by the old forces.
Long ago when Master was in higher realms, He made arrangements for Minghui to expose the evil and document our cultivation process. If Minghui were overthrown, all mighty virtue that we accomplished walking our paths during the Fa rectification would have been overthrown. The old forces' hope was to protect themselves by overthrowing Minghui. They know that if Master's Fa rectification succeeds, their crime of interference would be established. They figure that by overthrowing all that Master has done, they won't have carried out any crime in interfering with the Fa rectification. I enlightened to these inner meanings in Master's recent articles before I saw the old forces' arrangements. Those who have been misled end up being completely fooled by the old forces only because they are unwilling to sincerely and wholeheartedly study the Fa.
Part 3
One member in the "Yuanbo" group claimed that Master's fashen asked him to speculate in stocks. We all know the Fa principles and that Master has lectured regarding speculation in stocks. For more than 12 years, he always took this demon as his master. That demon has also infused in him a lot of warped things. Students who are diligent can immediately tell this alleged "Master's fashen" is a fake one.
What is shocking is that some people in the above three circles even boast that they've experienced the feeling of guanding when opposing Minghui. Who knows how many warped things have been poured into them by the malevolent demons. This is really sad.
There are many malevolent lives in other dimensions, and they have kept a close eye on Dafa disciples. They will take advantage of whatever omission one has, and immediately swarm in as soon as one is off track.
I saw a member of the old forces at a very high level whose arrangement was to transform into Master's image to "help" Master's Fa rectification! That member of the old forces, at that high a level, has immense power. It tried to imitate Master's benevolent compassion. Yet its xinxing is not there, and it is hypocritical.
If a being follows its instruction, it will treat that being nicely. Otherwise it will harm that being. It transforms into Master's image at will to fool people. I saw one being who was not willing to follow its orders, and it resorted to using its huge power to force the being to comply. Some other beings surrounded it to show themselves off. These beings not only failed to recognize it as fake, they tried very hard to court its favor.
Remembering Master's comment on the article "If the Attachment to Showing Off Isn’t Eliminated, the Danger is Great," I realized how sad those fellow practitioners are with a strong attachment to showing off. They collected funds, made statements to oppose Minghui, and studied other qigong schools, all under the illusion that they saw "Master's fashen" who asked them to do so.
Because of their own attachments and their failure to negate arrangements made by the old forces, many of their actions are true manifestations of their primordial spirits.
Part 4
The alleged "prophet" and "Kongkong" shared one thing in common. They took themselves as lives from outside the immense cosmos.
In fact, they are not the only ones. I have learned that some fellow practitioners feel themselves to be from very high levels, and feel that they do not have to cultivate by following the Fa principles. Their xinxing is really lacking.
When I reached a certain level during cultivation, some old divine beings, in order to fool me, transformed a scene to make me feel it was both true and shocking. When I was transcending upward, going through layer upon layer of universes, I saw a huge screen on which my future form of existence was displayed. It showed the exterior shell of a universe. I entered that universe and saw some divine beings that made up the universe's necessary elements.
They were giving off messages that they did not like me, because my level was higher than theirs. When I walked in, a more elderly divine being was sitting there. She said, "You will get used to it (she meant I would get used to managing the universe)." I did not feel right about it, and came back.
After waking up, I recalled that Master taught that in order to avoid having our attachments stirred up, we usually are not allowed to see the levels we are at. In addition, what I saw was not the final level I will be in. If one reaches enlightenment, one will know for sure, so there is no need to give this too much thought.
After some time, I saw the genuine thoughts of these old divine beings. They felt the universe was created by them, and thus they regarded themselves as lords of the universe. As a result, they wanted to arrange my fruit status. When my level was raised, I saw a school they operated. However, the people in that school appeared rather strange, and not clearheaded. These people appeared to be Dafa disciples, but I was not certain. After I saw that they were strange, they displayed their true nature.
It turned out that they were people who had been deceived by the old forces. Some fellow practitioners with celestial eyes open may not have seen the true picture when they've seen how "high" a level they are at. That is because the old forces made systematic arrangements on this issue as well. Their purpose is to fool those fellow practitioners with attachments. If one cannot see through this, one will be destroyed right then and there.
Part 5
It is because of one's attachments that one falls prey to false illusions. If one pursues nothing, and only solidly cultivates one's xinxing, one definitely will not be misled by the evil old forces.
The alleged "prophet" told her followers that those who make statements to oppose Minghui will achieve the highest levels in the cosmos, and claimed she helped push forward the process of Fa rectification as one with the ordained mission to do so, etc.
I ask these followers: Have you asked yourselves whether you have the requisite xinxing level to reach the highest level in the cosmos? Without cultivating one's xinxing, there is no way to reach that high. Have you asked yourself how much understanding you have of Master's recent articles? If you've studied the Fa well, how can you be fooled by such lies? You have all along been attacking Minghui, while Minghui publishes articles personally written by Master. You keep saying that Minghui privately compiles Master's articles (by arbitrarily interpreting the Minghui Editorial Board's June 15, 2000 article, "A Second Authentic New Article of Master Li Since July 22, 1999 Will Be Published in a Few Days" for example). Please think carefully: Who has told you to think this way and make such statements?
The incident of making statements to oppose Minghui was part of the old forces' arrangements to carry out their test of Dafa disciples' "belief" and "enlightenment." We all know that Master has left us the Fa to cultivate by. Only Master is the main body. There is no Fa without Master. If one refuses to listen to Master, then how can he be Master's disciple?
Cultivating in the human world one is indeed inside a maze, and it is hard to see the facts. We can upgrade to higher levels via cultivation only with righteous thoughts and righteous belief. Those people who, with the excuse of "taking the Fa as the Master," negated Master's words in "The Knowing Heart" and thus refused to recognize Master himself!
Most followers of the "prophet" thought she cultivated well. They would not have followed her if they did not think well of her. However, even if she initially appeared to be acting well, why did they still follow her when she turned her back on Dafa? Are they still cultivating Dafa? There are no role models in cultivation.
When she turned her back on Dafa, it should have been immediately pointed out to her. If she refused to listen, then just leave her alone. Why are they attached to her like being bonded to fellow gangsters? Some people may have developed a warped sentiment that because of her clarifying the facts, they were saved, and to leave her now would be to betray her. In fact, we have all descended here to obtain Master's Fa, regardless of from whom we learn the facts. It is fine to be thankful to those who have awakened us, but, in actuality it is Master and Dafa who saved us!
Why can they not let go of her after she puts herself in direct opposition to Dafa? Many people have been saved by a single sentence, a brochure, a picture from a Dafa disciple, yet they don't know who that Dafa disciple is. But all know to be grateful to Master and Dafa.
Those of you who follow the “prophet”: What is your xinxing level? Everything that is behind the awakening of people is done by Master! Master is the one who has actually saved you and who has asked us to save more people. You have carried out things against Dafa because of your attachments, and that is truly betrayal.
If one truly recognizes Master, how can he listen to things like "the tip of the pyramid" or "the highest level of the cosmos" promised by "prophet?" You think other practitioners do not understand the Fa at high levels. What we do not understand is why you have fallen prey to such demonic interference. Who is the "prophet?" What is her level in the cosmos? Is she qualified to make arrangements for you to reach the highest level?
Wake up, fellow practitioners! I can tell you that the primordial spirit of the "prophet" once came to look for me. Her primordial spirit is a goddess in the Western system. What she's done in the human world was intentionally done by her primordial spirit. Her human side does not know the true thoughts of her primordial spirit, and has been under the illusion that it is her human side that's doing this or that.
Layers and layers of old forces have placed a lot of things on her. They have manipulated her from behind the scenes to play a destructive role. Long ago her level was lowered to Hell. She remains active only because the Fa rectification has not yet concluded. She was not only manipulated by the old forces, her body is also possessed by a 10,000-year-old fox. The fox thinks that what it's doing is helping Master. When I caught it, it even attempted to commit suicide. Later I tied it up with divine devices and turned it into a Fa guardian.
Some people who were quite rational at the beginning, were later enchanted by the "prophet." They defended her whenever someone raised questions about her, and labeled those who refused to support her as being driven by old forces and rotten demons. This happened because her primordial spirit used supernormal abilities to make her supporters and admirers lose their minds. The series of things the "prophet" and her close buddies did in disrupting the Fa have long been recorded in other dimensions. Many beings can see this.
Part 6
Cultivation fundamentally tests our enlightenment regarding Master, who manifests in everyday human form in this world. In this society of "seeing is believing," how do we treat all that Master has said? It is as simple as "belief!" The old forces controlled "prophet" and went to the extreme to bring about the big incident of opposing Minghui. This is because many cultivators, at the end of the very end, still mix disbelief with belief when it comes to Master, failing to realize that they are cultivators.
Master taught in "Fa Teaching Given at the Fa Conference Marking the Tenth Anniversary of the Minghui Website’s Founding:"
"Even though Minghui doesn't visibly influence society as much as other media entities might, and it might not have much content that's of interest to ordinary people, it nevertheless portrays the cultivation state of Dafa disciples without filtering and reports about the persecution that they are subjected to. So it is pivotal and important. In a sense, the other media outlets don't have the ability to do that right now. If one of the other media outlets were to cease to exist, there would be others to do its job. But if Minghui were not around, no other media outlet could replace it. That's why I say that not only does Minghui have to continue, but it has to be run well."
Fa-rectification cultivation is serious and no one can get through by faking it. We carry out the three things depending on our individual situations and abilities. But if a significant incident occurs that does not comply with Dafa, shouldn't we point it out? Minghui, as a website accessible by Dafa disciples all over the world, shoulders the huge responsibility of continuously keeping in touch with the whole body of Dafa disciples.
Some people think the tone in notices published by the Minghui Editorial Board sounds quite grave. Have we asked ourselves why the Minghui Board uses such a grave tone?
Dafa cultivation is very serious, not child's play. The consequence of those lives who are against Dafa is terrible beyond our imagination.
When we do not want to comply with what fellow practitioners at the Minghui Editorial Board say, does it occur to us that it is our attachments that refuse to comply? If we do not have the problem described in the Minghui notices, how could we have ill thoughts about the notices? Some have argued that as long as Master has not directly pointed out that a certain thing is wrong, they feel there is nothing wrong with that thing. In fact, Master has lectured on many issues long before they actually surfaced. Minghui notices are published based on the content of Master's Fa lectures.
Part 7
The appearance of "prophet," "Kongkong," and "Yuanbo" are representative of problems that exist among the whole body of Dafa disciples. We all know how harsh the environment is in China. Master's name, Falun Gong, and many other words have been blocked on the Internet by CCP authorities.
Some people have come up with unique ideas to address Master with a pseudonym. Some causally use Master's Fa as their account names and post Master's Fa, out of context, on bulletin boards, in blogs, etc. Or some people mark next to the quotes: "Master's Fa." How can those who have not read Master's articles know who taught this?
Some enjoy sharing what they have enlightened to and published a series of articles in a blog. I have seen quite a few with this problem. They also enjoy it when others ask them questions, after which they provide answers. Being a disciple, how can one answer others when it comes to interpreting the Fa?
To those who do such things, I ask: If you have never studied Master's Fa, would you have learned these Fa principles? If you have heard the Fa from Master and then offered your own interpretation, doesn't this amount to undermining the Fa? Why didn't you ask the person to read Master's Fa directly when he asked you a question? Why did you offer answers instead? Isn't this an attachment to showing off?
If everyday people see what you have quoted from the Fa in the blogs and like the quotes, and then take them as mottos to live by, aren't you still undermining the Fa?
This problem has become prevalent over the Internet in Mainland China. It is seen everywhere, and practitioners are not taking it seriously.
Master has imparted the Fa to us for cultivation, not for us to show off.
Some fellow practitioners have taken words from Hong Yin poems as their account names. I am not sure whether these fellow practitioners have studied the Fa or not. How dare they do this? In addition, we all know the drawings in Hong Yin were drawn by Master personally. Some take the pictures as icons for their accounts. Even among everyday people, this is plagiarism and infringing on intellectual property. Don't think that it doesn't matter if these are Master's drawings. As a disciple, we need to respect Master all the more! Many practitioners enjoy telling others the Fa principles they have enlightened to, not to validate Dafa, but to show themselves off.
What is wisdom? It is not a broad spectrum of knowledge or a multitude of talents, or endless sharing of understandings of Fa principles. Some practitioners have not gone to school and cannot read ordinary books, yet they can study the Fa just the same and keep improving themselves. Professors in everyday society know quite a lot and appear to have profound knowledge, yet they remain within everyday people's realm.
Some fellow practitioners who are good speakers look down on other practitioners who appear to be average, while admiring those who appear to have a good enlightenment on the Fa principles.
Because of such huge omissions, there emerged small circles led by "prophet," "Kongkong," and "Yuanbo." Some in these circles have made arbitrary interpretations of the Buddha Fa while thinking they have good enlightenment, each anxious to publish explorations or question and answer series to let others know what they have enlightened to.
The old forces keep a close eye on those who do not respect Master. One day I was hit by a motorcycle, and my skin was scratched. Later I realized that I incurred this persecution by the old forces because I had developed a little bit of human sentiment with regard to Master. I immediately realized I had this small amount of lack of respect. As a result, it did not take more than a few days for the wound to heal. If one does things that grossly show a lack of respect towards Master, what sad consequences one will face in the future!
Even after Minghui published articles and notices with Master's comments, those fans who have followed "prophet," "Kongkong," and "Yuanbo" continue to safeguard their small circles. If they were not students, we wouldn't have bothered to talk to them. We are not responsible for what everyday people do. However, you are sabotaging and smearing Dafa. What huge sinful karma you are accumulating! The Fa rectification is not over, everyone remains in the maze, and you may not believe what I say. If Master directly explains this issue thoroughly, the old forces will resort to all means to destroy you. I cannot remain silent while watching the old forces destroy you. In that case, you will blame me for not saving you after I saw the old forces' arrangements.
Part 8
In conclusion, I would like to remind fellow practitioners to examine themselves and see if we have omissions, especially regarding whether or not we respect Master and the Fa.
As I wrote this article, it occurred to me that some fellow practitioners may think that because no retribution has taken place thus far, they can continue to fool themselves and think that they have not done anything undeserving of Dafa. These thoughts are wrong.
Because a person cannot possibly reach Consummation after having committed significant crimes against the Fa, there is no need for the old forces to persecute you, as your sinful karma alone will be more than enough to cause your self destruction.
Fellow practitioners who have gone off track, please regain your righteous thoughts, completely negate all arrangements by the old forces, and break away from the vows you signed with the old forces.
There is order amidst disorder. It is not hard for one to get lost. If you are off track, get back on track. Time is seriously limited!
One still has an opportunity to correct one's mistakes as long as Fa rectification is not over. Please treasure yourself. As I write this, I am chilled by the thought of the terrible end some lives will come to: they will be annihilated both body and soul.
This is only what I enlightened to at my level. Please point out errors and anything that is inappropriate!
