Do Not Become Attached to What Other Practitioners Have Seen With Their Celestial Eyes By a Dafa Disciple in China
(Clearwisdom.net) I have noticed that there have been sentences like "The
last test to Dafa disciples is the cooperation among themselves" in articles I
have read recently. That sentence was from what a young disciple had seen in
other dimensions from his level of cultivation. We know from studying the Fa
that what a cultivator sees with his celestial eye in other dimensions is not
the ultimate truth. To put what cultivators see in other dimensions down in
writing is to encourage and remind Dafa disciples, and to give them a reference
in their cultivation to improve Xinxing. It is not the Fa. We don't know if "The
last test to Dafa disciples is the cooperation among themselves" is Teacher's
arrangement, nor are we sure if it is the truth. Our Teacher told us, "I will never allow anyone who hasn't attained Enlightenment or reached
Consummation to see clearly my disciples' actual cultivation states."
("Another Comment on Evaluation Criteria") I believe Dafa disciples have to evaluate what they see and hear rationally
and with a clear mind based on Teacher's Fa, and to fix any problem when it is
found. The purpose of discussion among disciples is to advance together. We
shouldn't define Dafa based on what a disciple sees with his celestial eye. We
need to understand the Fa based on the words Teacher said, "You should not
casually take up a term used or mentioned by everyone." ("Non-Omission
in Buddha-Nature"). Master also stated, "Don't do anything that I do not do, and don't use anything that I do not
use. In cultivation you should say things however I say them ......I also
want to tell you that your nature in the past was actually based on egotism
and selfishness. From now on, whatever you do, you should consider others
first, so as to attain the righteous Enlightenment of selflessness and
altruism. So from now on, whatever you do or whatever you say, you must
consider others--or even future generations--along with Dafa's eternal
stability." ("Non-Omission
in Buddha-Nature") I believe to regard the Fa as the teacher when confronting any test is the
reflection of every Dafa disciple's Xinxing. We should remind each other and
follow a strict standard. Posting date: 12/20/2002 |
