Going back in time, back beyond today in July of 1999, Master deciphered one of the prophecies in "Centuries" that so many experts and scholars have been unable to decipher after so much effort. Master's coming to the human world to rectify the Fa is something that was arranged in a distant age. " The old forces arranged this for the purpose of 'testing' Dafa in a destructive manner" is also something that was planned in a distant age. Master has said before that every event in history has its future, only this situation doesn't have a future. My understanding is that this future is for us, ourselves, to create.
Our great Master has brought this Dafa, which could not be encountered in a billion years, to our doorstep. This is "equivalent to leaving human beings a ladder to heaven." We Dafa disciples have had this thought to practice cultivation, which shines like gold, and simply based on this thought, Master is guiding us as disciples, from purifying our bodies to an unimaginable future. It is only because our merciful and compassionate Master has come to the human world to provide salvation to all sentient beings that there are so many people on this earth conducting themselves in accordance with Truthfulness, Benevolence, Forbearance, that there are so many people who want to be good people. There are so many Dafa disciples with great benevolence and forbearance using their unselfish and laudable spirit of personal sacrifice to create a moving story that has stunned the heavens and the earth. This is the real manifestation of the Dafa in the world.
"Dafa has already harmonized and perfected everything in the universe." In Essentials for Further Advancement and the Collection of Poems, it is often mentioned that rectification of the Fa is extremely difficult and grueling. This we can only recognize from the principles of the Fa as human beings can never know Gods. We are simply too fortunate. The great Master has broken through layer upon layer of obstacles to transmit the fundamental Fa of the universe to us. Master says: "The things that are happening in China right now were historically already arranged." In the prophecy, it says that "the King of Terror will come from the sky" but does not say what the outcome will be because the outcome is something that will only come to pass when we write it. Before then, there is no outcome. Master says: "they manipulate wicked human beings to examine Dafa and its disciples in every detail, putting them through a comprehensive and thorough test that targets all human intentions and attachments. Had you truly been able to discard those fundamental human attachments in your cultivation, these last tribulations wouldn't have been so vicious." It is our shame that it is because of those "human" attachments of ours that we cannot let go of that has caused Master to silently bear it all for our attachments, causing the Dafa to undergo unnecessary losses, causing this tribulation to be so evil and vicious. If we can take the Fa as our teacher and continually get rid of our own attachments so as not to allow demons to infiltrate the gaps and don't let them find any excuse, then the tribulation won't be so evil and vicious. Tribulations and attachments are directly proportional to each other. We cannot simply rely on Master's power to combat evil demons but must firmly and steadily cultivate our own hearts. In Zhuan Falun, Master says: "I am telling you a truth: The entire course of cultivation is a process of constantly getting rid of human attachments." In the Chicago lecture last year, Master also said: "The meaning of the existence of life itself lies in the course of life and not in its final outcome."
"The process of Master's Fa-rectification among humans is, from the Divine Beings' perspective, just like a process of resurrection." Every time I read up to this point, tears well up in my eyes. Yes! Master has given out just too much on our behalf. Nonetheless, Master's greatness is not only expressed in the human realm. In another plane that humans cannot see, the Master has silently borne hardships that we have no way of imagining. Because the way the Gods see it, it is just like the process of resurrection because what the Gods see is the reality. Venerable Master!
Every Dafa disciple is a part of this process. Let us let go of all concepts of everyday people and use all our efforts to tell the truth to the people of the world and assist Master in his work in the human world. Let us be worthy of being Master's disciples!
