(Minghui.org) Many practitioners in our area are doing a good job of talking to people about Falun Dafa. They compile lists of individuals who quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations every day.

However, as the Fa-rectification approaches its final stage, some practitioners have developed varying degrees of physical problems. For example, some have difficulty walking, while others’ backs have become hunched. Nevertheless, they continue to go out to tell people the truth and save them, even believing that as long as the problem does not interfere with what they are doing, it does not matter if they have some physical anomaly. I want to discuss this issue with practitioners from the perspective of the Fa principles.

Almost all practitioners who obtained the Fa before July 20, 1999, have had their bodies purified and know how wonderful Falun Dafa is.

It is my understanding that the incorrect states that appear after the body is purified are not “illnesses” even though in this dimension, they manifest as “symptoms” of illnesses. The outcome depends on whether we can understand this, maintain steadfast righteous thoughts, and improve our xinxing.

The longer the “symptoms” of an illness persist, the easier it is for them to be mistaken for an actual illness, thereby shaking our righteous thoughts.

This is especially true for those who began practicing Dafa to be healed. If their thoughts remain stuck at the level of personal cultivation for healing and fitness without progressing to a higher level, and if they cannot truly reject the old forces’ arrangements, it’s difficult to ensure that the symptoms of the illness won’t reappear or persist.

Adopting an attitude of indifference towards the body’s improper state, believing that as long as it does not interfere with the three things one needs to do, it’s fine to just muddle through—is this not a manifestation of old ways of thinking and factors? Isn’t this something we should reject and eliminate?

To give a specific example, when an elderly practitioner was walking up the stairs, he noticed that he was out of breath after only a few steps. He thought: "As a Falun Dafa practitioner my body’s meridians should be open, and I should be able to walk swiftly and feel as light as a feather. This is not the state a Dafa practitioner should be in. Negate it!" He then took two steps at a time and ascended the stairs quickly. He continued climbing until he reached the top without feeling out of breath.

However, if we are unaware and do not reject the old forces’ arrangements in these seemingly insignificant matters and instead think, “Am I getting old? Should I take a break?” This way of thinking is following the old forces’ arrangements. Over time, when this way of thinking becomes prevalent, the old forces will have an excuse to manifest incorrect states in the bodies of cultivators, because this is what they want.

Master taught us,

“Cultivation depends on one’s own efforts, while the transformation of gong is done by one’s master.” (Lecture One, Zhuan Falun)

In some cases, when our xinxing improves and our thinking elevates, Master has already removed the bad things in other dimensions, and the karma has been eliminated. However, due to the differences in time and space, we cannot yet see noticeable results in this dimension. This is also a test of our enlightenment quality.

Some practitioners have a stubborn belief that “seeing is believing.” They keep their eyes fixed on the surface of symptoms or focus on how they feel, wondering why there has been no change. This gives rise to doubts or improper thoughts, which can artificially prolong the duration of the symptoms.

During the Fa-rectification, Master left us some human thoughts and attachments so we could save people and fulfill our mission among humans, not so we could endure tribulations.

During Fa-rectification cultivation, Master has taken advantage of the old forces’ arrangements to help us complete our cultivation journey. Master wants us to walk our paths, measure things with the Fa, enlighten based on the Fa’s principles, and negate the old forces’ arrangements because we are doing it for the future. We must not lower our standards. What we will achieve is mighty virtue in the new universe and becoming a great god who presides over our own domain.

This is my understanding at my current level. Please kindly point out anything that is not in line with the Fa.
