To Practitioners in China Who Have Truly Stepped Forward:

Master has said that practitioners both in China and abroad are all one body. He has also discussed the issue of how many practitioners in China who have truly stepped forward are waiting for those who have not stepped forward yet.

I had thought about this on many occasions, and have tried my best to step forward by doing work for Dafa, giving up nights and weekends to dedicate to Dafa and telling more people the truth about what is happening in China.

Recently, however, I have realized that you, the practitioners who have truly stepped forward, are not just waiting for us to "step forward" out of our homes to go tell the truth to our local government officials and media. You are not just waiting for us to "step forward" out of our offices to tell our colleagues and friends the truth about what is happening in China. But rather, you are waiting for us to step out of our selfishness and humanness. You are waiting for us to truly become divine beings without omission, and to do this we must truly give up all attachments and selfish notions, and "step forward" out of selfishness.

I think it is possible for those of us in the U.S. and in other countries to appear to step forward by actively telling others about the persecution in China and doing other Fa-rectifying activities, and yet, at the same time, to do these activities while still harboring various selfish notions and attachments. I have come to understand that this is not acceptable. I have come to understand that practitioners in China who have truly stepped forward and are waiting for the rest of us to catch up are not just waiting for practitioners in China to go to Tiananmen Square or post flyers. They are waiting for practitioners all around the world to release all of their human notions and attachments, and to give up all selfishness without any omission thereby becoming true particles of Dafa. We must take part in Fa rectification by using various means to let people know about Dafa and to tell people the truth of what is happening in China, but our minds and hearts must be righteous. To do this, we must truly step out of our selfishness and human notions. This is what you are waiting for.

I pledge to our honorable Master and to you practitioners who have truly stepped forward without omission that I will strive forward in this final stage of Fa rectification to truly step out of my selfishness and humanness as soon as possible, and to rectify the Fa without any omission in my heart. I will strive forward to make a heart-felt study of the Fa, and then, with a heart of righteousness, go forward to "Validate the Fa with reason, clarify the truth with wisdom, spread the Fa and offer people salvation with benevolence."
