(Minghui.org) In the article “Recent Prediction Exposed My Attachment to Time” on the Minghui website, the author added a note saying they related to Master Li Hongzhi's teaching:

“Calmly reflect on the attachments you haveRemove your human thoughtsand evil will naturally die out”(“Don’t Be Sad,” Hong Yin II)

I was touched by the article. I did the three things as usual, some time ago, but I felt depressed and tired. With doing more Fa study and exercises, I still could not break through this cultivation state. I didn’t know what went wrong, so I looked inward and thoroughly examined my attachments.

I realized that I took doing things as cultivation. I did not look within, nor did I assimilate to the Fa. My xinxing did not improve because I did not cultivate myself. As a result, I always looked outward instead of looking within. When I realized my problems, I gained righteous thoughts immediately.

We are Dafa disciples. Master has given us such a sacred path. All beings in this vast universe are expecting to be saved and have been watching over us. We know that our responsibilities are great. The overall state of Dafa disciples’ cultivation is related to the new cosmos’ standard, and this will also affect the result of our truth clarification efforts.

It does not matter whether those predictions and prophecies were the old forces’ arrangement. When we read those articles, we should ask ourselves if we have been following Master’s teachings and solidly cultivating ourselves?

I know that Master’s teachings are the only truth and the true way to attaining salvation. No life in the universe can know how Master arranged the Fa-rectification. Didn’t many predictions change because of Fa-rectification? Master has endured and extended the time again and again for Dafa disciples’ improvement and the sake of all beings in the universe. Do we not know this? Have we accomplished our mission?

Is prophecy still important if we realize this? The only purpose of referencing these predictions should be to tell people the consequences of humankind's disrespect for the divine and traditional ethics in order to awaken their consciences.

After I thoroughly examined my cultivation state, I had a better understanding of how to treat cultivation seriously. The only way to assimilate to the standard of the new cosmos is to cultivate diligently.
