(Clearwisdom.net) The magnificent progress of Master's Fa-rectification is continuously and rapidly breaking through toward the surface dimension. Master is also constantly changing our bodies from the origin of our beings toward the surface, while our xinxing standard is improving toward the highest position of our original being. After the persecution began in 1999, our cultivation is no longer individual cultivation; it's Fa-rectification cultivation. Our cultivation and improvement represent the elimination of evil at different levels of our corresponding cosmic bodies, as well as the salvation and assimilation of sentient beings. We are also responsible for offering salvation to the world's people, the massive groups of beings they represent and beings in other dimensions. Master said, "Dafa disciples are now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation." ("Righteous Thoughts")
We are entrusted with the sacred mission of safeguarding Dafa, and we must be unshakable in carrying it out. These profound meanings and sacred missions endowed on Dafa practitioners are blended into Fa-rectification cultivation as we constantly improve ourselves.
I'd like to talk about how I understand the relationship between the progress of our cultivation and the progress of Master's immense force of Fa-rectification on a macroscopic level. Master changes our bodies from the microscopic to the surface, and our xinxing improve from a low level to a high level. "Please note that no matter where you came from, I'm just assimilating your original things to the new and the most righteous Fa. And as for the surface things of your cultivation, I don't touch any of them so as to ensure that you will return to your original place." ("Lecture at the Conference in Switzerland") Master has already created the new cosmos for us, and he is only waiting for us to rectify, save, fulfill and harmonize all beings and elements on the surface of the old cosmos that we will bring to the new cosmos. All the changes there made through our cultivation are the result of our studying the Fa well, sending forth righteous thoughts and clarifying the truth in the human world. Some fellow practitioners have mentioned in their articles that looking from their realms, for those practitioners who don't take eliminating their own problems with righteous thoughts seriously and don't look inward, only a small portion of the beings in their cosmic systems have been saved. So those who cultivate well will do as Master has mentioned, "The effect you've had eliminating the evil with righteous thoughts is truly significant. A great number of evil beings have been eliminated, and some have been partially eliminated. This has knocked the life out of them, has eradicated the evil in many dimensions not yet reached by the Fa-rectification, and has had the effect of eliminating and frightening the evil persons." ("The Effect of Righteous Thoughts," Essentials for Further Advancement II)
This involves a crucial matter, that is, before the arrival of Fa-rectification of the human world -- what is the relationship between the progress of our individual and group Fa-rectification cultivation and the progress of Master's immense force of Fa rectification? The progress of our cultivation should be that before a layer of particle is touched by Master's macroscopic Fa-rectification, we have already cultivated well at that level and done what we should do, including rectifying degenerations and deviations, eliminating the evil, and offering salvation to sentient beings, etc. "The speed of Fa-rectification absolutely cannot be affected...No matter how big these impediments are, it actually hasn't affected the essence of my Fa-rectification. And the speed is just as fast. It's being done according to my requirements all the same--the new cosmos is establishing everything completely according to Dafa's standards." (Touring North America to Teach the Fa, unofficial translation) If we haven't cultivated well at a certain level before Master's gong approaches that level of particles, then the massive groups of beings on its corresponding cosmic level who have placed their infinite hopes in us, would face the risk of being eliminated! Although the attachments that hinder our improvements are arrangements and interference by the old forces, it's the result of us not completely following Dafa to improve ourselves. As kings or Lords representing our group of beings, wouldn't we be failing to carry out our responsibilities? It's the same as destroying those beings! When it's time for us to improve at a certain level, or the progress of Master's Fa-rectification is about to touch a level, conflicts, xinxing tests and tribulations would become more and more intense. From a certain perspective, this is also a hint, reminding and telling us that we should improve as quickly as possible! "When the force of Fa-rectification arrives everything will end in an instant" ("The Effect of Righteous Thoughts," Essentials for Further Advancement II). At that time, it will no longer be our own cultivation, nor will we be allowed to cultivate any more.
We have the ability to eliminate all of the evil elements within the Three Realms and our corresponding cosmic bodies. As long as all of our Dafa practitioners are of one heart and cooperate as a whole body, we will fulfill our benevolent wish, for ourselves, for the world's people and for all sentient beings!
Moreover, we should point out fellow practitioners' problems in a timely manner when we see them and help them to rectify themselves. This is benevolence on a higher level instead of considering issues of human relationships and saving face. It's being truly responsible for the Fa. We can also send forth righteous thoughts to help suppress and eliminate the evil and the old force's interference within fellow practitioners' dimensions. Of course, we cannot ignore the element of improving our own xinxing amid conflicts and cultivate diligently as a whole body.
The above are only my personal understandings. Fellow practitioners, please kindly point out anything inappropriate.
