It has been regulated that I am not permitted to find a short cut to climb over the mountain in front of me. Initially, I did not know why, but as soon as I understood it I found the shortest way is the one settled. I saw bushes and grasses on both side of that path, a rather steep slope. However, one is able to endure what is hard to endure, and one is able to do what is impossible to do. At most, it makes one hard and tired, one will finally reach the top. All are examined again and again before entering this cultivation school, not everybody is able to endure this kind of test. As you have already entered the door, and then it is required to let go the attachments to this world as soon as possible. One's virtue is created by one's own cultivation.
I have known some of many wonderful experiences "after coming back from over there". At one time, while I entered the world of my body in other dimension, I found that the structure of this universe is extremely sophisticated. From this space, the world of my body seems part of the superficial time-space. While entering in it, however, I found that the space is unimaginably great. Looking from over there, the objects several times bigger than the fresh body in the superficial time-space is much smaller, millions and millions of times smaller. In addition, I found that if any part of the body in the other dimension was not transformed well, the broad structure at that place is somewhat infertile. In other words, the mountains and the rivers at that place are relatively bleak and desolate. Thus, if time permitted, it is better to practice the exercises more, it is called " Gong practices one's body". There are some other different spaces in which, objects that are very small here are very large over there. There is also a world of little men. It has already begun to send and to receive the living being who are eligible to be all beings in the different paradises. Not only the people of the predestined relationship with you, but also the matters without the shape of human being are to be all beings in your paradise. However, they all should have certain amount of merits and virtues. Those paradises are very beautiful where the mountains and the rivers are so pretty that no words can describe the air is the golden glow. Not to mention the living beings, who are many times more beautiful than the images on the poster. I also saw that there seems a rope tied on the bodies of the practitioners, who are like the kite flying and are possible to fly up to the sky at any time. Somebody told me that you should consider those who only spoke a little bit evil of Falun Gong, consider more human being and consider those practitioners who are hanging in midair. The benevolence of the great enlightened being is magnificent, how about us? Never think that we have already endured a lot.
"After coming back from over there" the reason why I was with a heavy heart is that what I endured was too tiny. Everything is cultivated through oneself, however, what we have received is much more than what we have endured. "The heart of a clear-minded people is more awakened, being ashamed". However, in the tribulation and suffering, some sighed why this mountain is so high that it is never possible to climb to its top, thought that the period of tribulation is long and too long. However, the "awakened" sigh that time is so short that there is no chance to contribute more in this very rough sea to, and "to be responsible" for Falun Dafa. Many words can not be expressed in language. To face happily all the tests and to endure them with smile is the minimum request to us. Fellow practitioners, "continuously cultivate heart, don't relax!"
An Untitled Poem
I hate nobody even if the world resents me, since
I ought to pay back my karma ever accumulated one life after another.
I can take it lightly to face any tribulations and risks, as long as
I have a righteous mind with me all the time.
