During the past few years, I have come to realize that the more attached to fear we are, the more suffering from persecution we induce. Some practitioners always hesitate and do not participate in Fa-rectification activities. They have many fears, and they have been actually going down the path arranged by the old forces. The less fear practitioners have, the better they will do the three things, and the safer they will be. If a practitioner has no fear, the old forces are powerless.
To do the three things well, we must continuously eliminate fears and attachments. This is most important. Over the years, I have had various fears, but no matter how strong the fears appeared to be, I have never given into those attachments. Eventually, those attachments were eliminated as I remained steadfast in my faith in Teacher and Falun Dafa. When we abide by the Fa-rectification requirements set by Teacher, we are in line with the nature of the cosmos, Truthfulness, Benevolence and Tolerance, and we are backed by the immense power of Falun Dafa. We are thus protected by Teacher and righteous gods who are Fa guardians. With evil spirits scared away or destroyed, who else would dare to harm you? Why are some practitioners harassed by vicious policemen or bad people? Aren't these bad people manipulated by evil elements from other dimensions? Aren't these bad situations all caused by our not doing the three things well?
Even if we did not do well but then correct ourselves, we should never acknowledge the arrangements by the old forces. However, my fellow practitioners, we really have to be serious and diligent regarding our cultivation! We should not be controlled by evil. In "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 International Fa Conference in New York," Teacher said,
"If he were an ordinary person, no matter how bad he was, the evil wouldn't pay any attention to him. Because he wants to cultivate, though, the evil will try to stop him from cultivating. And when you don't cultivate solidly you become a target for the evil's persecution."
Let us truly be strict about the elevation of our xinxing and completely rid ourselves of the old forces' arrangements. Let us keep pace with Fa-rectification so that we can meet the standards of a Dafa disciple during Fa-rectification.
