Studying the Falun Gong teachings has made me realise that, in this final moment of Fa-rectification, Falun Dafa practitioners, besides doing the three things well that Teacher asks us to do, also need to balance the relationship between cultivation and family, and abandon the attachment of selfishness. In this final moment of Fa-rectification, we must not exhibit extreme behaviour such as just taking part in Falun Gong activities, while ignoring our family responsibilities. If this path of cultivation is to be left for the future human beings, it must be followed in a righteous manner.
Falun Dafa practitioners in the Fa-rectification period are required to be strict on the issues of money and comfort. Some people still think that just by reading Falun Dafa books, one will definitely reach Consummation, and since it is not easy to come to the human world, it is fine to live in comfort, borrow from others for daily food and drink, not pay back the borrowed money, and leave this debt for other family members to gradually repay in the future after one Consummates. What would the human world become if everyone behaved in this way? Is this the behaviour of a true Falun Dafa practitioner who always considers others before himself? Every single word and action of a Falun Dafa practitioner helps clear away some of the evil.
Teacher Li Hongzhi said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Washington DC Fa Conference":
"A Dafa disciple's cultivation is for the purpose of achieving Consummation in the course of validating the Fa. But as Dafa disciples, you are also saving all beings, you're allowing more lives to be saved and rescued during the Fa-rectification."
Our not doing well will create a bad impression and will prevent people with predestined relationships from entering and being saved by Dafa (Great Law).
In order to have all sentient beings be saved by Dafa, Falun Dafa practitioners are required to be more strict in our daily lives, and use righteous thoughts and righteous actions to display the image of Falun Dafa practitioners in the Fa-rectification period to the world's people. Whatever the hardships, we are happy when more and more sentient beings can be saved by Dafa. The practitioners who are still living selfishly are clearly showing their problems.
We Falun Dafa practitioners, who in this life have obtained the Fa (law or principle, the teachings in Falun Gong) and are assisting the Teacher in the human world to save sentient beings, should treasure this opportunity that only comes once in thousands of years. We must walk each step with a clear mind! Teacher told us,
"Do well with all the things you should do. All the most magnificent, most wonderful glory and honour of the future await you." ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Washington DC Fa Conference")
I appeal to those practitioners who still have such problems to calm their minds, study the Fa diligently, and live from the Fa.
The above views are from my limited understanding and errors, if any, may be corrected with compassion.
