(Minghui.org) While some prophecies have accurately predicted the current pandemic, I realized that we must be careful when drawing upon such prophecies and that we must not allow ourselves to get caught up in satisfying our curiosity or other attachments.
One good thing about using prophecies is that they are all readily available on the internet in mainland China, but we must be careful not to become overly dependent on them as a means to clarify the truth. We should only use prophecies as supplementary materials, staying mindful that our purpose is to help people understand the facts about Falun Dafa – not the prophecies themselves.
Avoiding Making Assertions
When referencing prophecies, we should not make conclusive assertions. Because a prophecy is just a prophecy, and many things have been changed by Master, what happens in the end depends on the progress of the Fa-rectification. It will hurt our credibility if we tell people that certain prophecies will happen and then they don't.
By contrast, if we kindly remind people in a subtle way that certain things might happen as predicted by the prophecies, and if the prediction indeed materializes later on, people will then really believe us.
I had told some of my friends about certain prophecies earlier on, so when the coronavirus broke out, they all realized what I said was credible and became even more receptive when I further clarified the truth to them and encouraged them to quit the Chinese Communist Party.
As Dafa cultivators, we must pay attention to what we say and what we do in our daily life, so that people around us will find us trustworthy and credible.
Do Not Become Preoccupied with Exploring Knowledge
I would also like to remind fellow practitioners not to become preoccupied with exploring knowledge when referring to prophecies, as people will tend to not take our words seriously and might treat what we tell them as some sort of novelty that goes in one ear and out the other.
What we do is to caution people of possible dangers in order to effectively clarify the truth and help them quit the CCP organizations and to inspire their kind thoughts towards Dafa.
