Do Not Get Lost When Facing the Big Disaster

Following the Sichuan earthquake, many practitioners have maintained a rational mindset and are able to understand this from the Fa's perspective. On the one hand, practitioners conform to the ways of everyday people by making donations. On the other hand, practitioners are more diligent in clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings.

However, a few practitioners' thoughts have fluttered, and some human notions have resurfaced. For example, some practitioners were emotionally affected by the aftermath of the earthquake and were crying while watching the sad scenes on television. Some practitioners were actively involved in donation activities. When they met acquaintances they immediately asked, "Have you donated? How much have you donated?" They forgot their responsibility of saving people. Some practitioners hold a hidden excitement within, guessing that the end of Fa-rectification may be coming soon. A few practitioners spend more time watching TV to follow the news, and others speak of things at too high a level when clarifying the truth.

Although we have gone through a lot in the past years and should have sufficiently matured facing these things, when things happen, sometimes our human notions still surface. Emotions in the human realm still affect us. The key here is our basis for looking at these things. We must not forget that we are Dafa practitioners walking on a divine path and can never be swayed from our task of assisting Master in saving sentient beings.

The old forces have arranged many things, such as the Sichuan earthquake, wars in the Middle East, "9/11" and the tsunami. Although the old forces' highest-level beings have been eliminated, before the Fa completely rectifies the human world, the old forces' mechanisms are still operating. Dafa practitioners should be clear on this.

The hot topics regarding the earthquake in China made me aware of everyday people's zeal for donations, as well of the CCP's propaganda and further incitement that made people fearful and helpless. Human beings are so fragile. I realized that saving sentient beings is now even more urgent. We should increase truth-clarifying efforts in the process, while cultivating ourselves well.

Based on the many disasters in recent years, we have realized that the purpose of the old forces' arrangements was to eliminate many human beings and areas with heavy karma. But most importantly, it was to test how many human notions practitioners still have, and whether or not this disturbs practitioners, and if they are up to the "standard." As long as we study the Fa more, Dafa can help us solve the puzzles. We will then understand everything and be able to catch up with the advancement of Fa-rectification.
