Teaching the Fa at the
(
It’s been a long time! (Applause)
Alright, let’s stop applauding now and listen to
your teacher.
When any being in this cosmos has enlightened to
his Fa, his Fa-principles, or his Attainment1 Status—no matter at
what level—he has to go through a truly serious test. This determines whether
what he has enlightened to can hold ground in this cosmos, and it establishes
his mighty virtue. That’s why all beings encounter in their cultivation the
kind of situation we’re experiencing today. As you know, when Sakyamuni was in
this world, when Jesus was in this world, and when other upright religions and
righteous Fa were imparted in this world, they each ran into something like this
and underwent this type of test. This is a law of the cosmos. But as to our
Dafa, let me tell you that nobody is worthy of testing It. Because all
beings—and this includes every being in the cosmos—are created, made, and
shaped by It, no one is worthy of testing It. (Applause)
Then why are we encountering these things? As you
know, Li Hongzhi is doing this undertaking in an ordinary human form, with a
human body, using the lowest form of language among beings in the cosmos—the
human language, this most simplistic human language of today—and using the
lowest form of cultivation, qigong. This has left all beings throughout
the cosmos unaware. The reason for this is that to evaluate and determine the
xinxing position of each sentient being in the cosmos and reposition them,
it was necessary that each one’s true xinxing level be revealed. So they
weren’t allowed to know the true situation. No being in the entire cosmos knows
the true situation. They regard me as a cultivator, and so they dare to do what
they have. As I told you before, no sentient being knew about the Fa of the
cosmos. That’s why they think that I’m establishing a system of things that
I’ve enlightened to—when I’m really doing Fa-rectification—with the only
difference being that it’s exceptionally pure and righteous, and extremely high
level. In their view, that’s all it is. This is why they’ve dared to bring us
this disaster today. In other words, a higher Attainment Status and a Fa this
immense require a test this massive. Yet on the other hand, if this hadn’t been
allowed to happen it wouldn’t have. My intention was to utilize all the things
they arranged so as to see their xinxing displayed in their actions.
They arranged this matter long, long ago. Human history is cyclical. They
haven’t realized that such an enormous Fa is being spread, something
extraordinary. The humankind of the last cycle underwent a process like this as
a test run, and went even further than today’s humankind. In the end,
environmental pollution caused the deformation of human beings and their
eventual elimination. This is what happened to the last humankind. What
happened last time is now being repeated, but this time it’s true
Fa-rectification. In other words, this matter was arranged ages ago. They
established a system in order to avoid deviation and to ensure that nothing
would go wrong with this matter today. According to their thinking, the things
that are happening and unfolding today were all arranged by them. Nothing in
the process has been coincidental, even though things appear coincidental among
everyday people and manifest among everyday people in an entirely human
fashion. Yet these were indeed arranged by them. In their words, one God would
be more than enough to make arrangements so that nothing would go wrong with
any sentient being on the entire earth. Countless Gods, so many Gods, are
watching this. How could there be any mishaps? Nothing in the process could go
wrong. But this is only the arrangement, which I mentioned earlier, by the Gods
of the old cosmos. They don’t dare to ruin all of these things, because they,
too, see the problems the cosmos will face and they know I’m doing this
undertaking. But they, too, don’t know who I am. So what they wanted to do they
arranged. Do you understand? (Applause) Their apparent purpose was to
allow our Fa to establish Its mighty virtue, and to have the Fa be truly
respected by beings throughout the entire cosmos for Its mighty virtue. On the
surface, this was the purpose of their arranging all this. But this has instead
become an obstacle for Fa-rectification. I knew they would definitely do it
this way, so I used the opportunity to examine their xinxing in
everything they arranged and reposition them accordingly. In the course of your
cultivation, each one of you should understand correctly the relationship
between your personal cultivation and Fa-rectification. How should you view the
tribulations and trials that you experience? I can tell you that if a person
doesn’t have that much karma, he absolutely won’t have tribulations that
severe. You should clearheadedly distinguish personal cultivation from evil’s
persecution of the Fa. All of the arrangements that have interfered with Dafa,
that have tried to forcefully impose something on me or the Fa, are absolutely
unacceptable. So they have to bear responsibility for everything they’ve done.
How is this any different from the persecution of Jesus and the harming of
Sakyamuni’s disciples back in their days? They have to bear responsibility for
all these things—they must bear responsibility for all these things. There’s
something I told you before. I said: what is a Buddha? "Tathagata" is
what human beings call someone who’s come with the truth and the power to do
what he wants, whereas real Buddhas are guardians of the cosmos and are
responsible for all righteous elements in the cosmos. Nevertheless, in
this affair, they have also fully shown the positions of their xinxing
after their deviation from the Fa and have fully revealed their impure side.
This has resulted in many things that shouldn’t have occurred in certain
situations and all kinds of interference; this is quite similar to the display
of our students’ xinxing at present during their personal cultivation.
All sentient beings in the cosmos are amidst the Fa-rectification, and all the
manifestations might appear in this human place since I’m doing this in this
human place. I can tell you that the suffering and tribulations endured by our
Dafa disciples are not only aimed at their personal cultivation—there are also
factors related to high-level beings’ testing Dafa using the fact that the
students have karma, using "improving them" as an excuse, and using
degenerate beings at low levels to carry out the persecution. In fact, all of
these have harmed the Fa-rectification. You’ve not only been enduring
tribulations created by human beings. Since parts of you have been fully
cultivated, you are great Gods, and Gods at very, very high levels have been
testing you. This is why what’s happening today is unprecedented—a tribulation
like this has never taken place in history. This is understanding it from a
cultivator’s perspective. But from another angle, I’d say that no one is worthy
of testing Dafa. Yet they have, so they’ve committed a sin, and they will have
to bear responsibility for everything they’ve done. I’ve only given you a
general explanation of this situation. As I said, I just wanted to use their
actions to see their xinxing clearly, arrange their places, and in turn
examine the disciples and enable them to reach Consummation. They’re also using
the most evil beings to do all of this in a destructive manner.
As Master sees it, this undertaking has
encountered huge tribulations because you coexist with the Fa during the
Fa-rectification period. Never before in any historical period have people
encountered such huge tribulations, nor will people who cultivate in the
future—those people won’t be you, of course, but human beings in the
future—since they’ll only engage in personal cultivation. You, however, are
linked to the Fa.
During the past year, I was silent for various
reasons. When I wasn’t speaking to you, I saw that students were doing really
well. This says that you can do well when I’m not around. It’s remarkable!
You’ve not only handled yourselves as cultivators, but have also firmly
safeguarded Dafa—you are truly magnificent! This is because you’ve kept to the
Fa, and because you’ve regarded yourselves as cultivators. This is something
everyday people can’t do—everyday people absolutely wouldn’t be able to do it.
It is something that’s never been seen in human history. It’s futile for the
evil forces that want to damage us to attempt to destroy us—nothing like that
has happened in history, nor do human beings have the ability to do that. No
matter who persecutes Dafa, it’s a matter of humans battling Gods, and the end
result is obvious. Of course, through this series of events our students have
gained a clearer understanding; there was a huge difference when the
tribulations had just started. Some were shocked. Some were contemplating,
"What kind of person is Li Hongzhi?" Some were thinking, "Is
this Fa righteous?" A comprehensive test has targeted all human
attachments. No matter what attachments you held when you came to Dafa, those
attachments had to be tested. Some people thought that this or that aspect of
Dafa was good, but today’s test is relentless, as no human attachment can be
taken to heaven.
I can tell you that throughout history there has
never been any human being who has succeeded in cultivation—regardless of the
cultivation way. This is because a person’s Assistant Primordial Spirit doesn’t
enter the Three Realms, but controls the person’s body at a microcosmic level
beyond the Three Realms. It’s simply impossible for a person to return, never before
in history has this happened. But since you’ve encountered this amidst today’s
Fa-rectification—not because you have such a great predestined relationship,
nor because it’s accidental—you truly can return through cultivation! (Applause)
No matter which level a God comes from, once he
enters the Three Realms he can never return. This is absolute. This is also
something that no one has ever dared to disclose, because it would lead
humankind to rapidly head for destruction: if people knew the truth of the matter,
hopeless beings would stop at no evil. Yet our Dafa has allowed [people to
return], we’re able to achieve this, and It has played this role. That’s why
I’ve revealed the truth of this to you all. (Applause)
Our students are truly remarkable. A while ago,
you all did a lot of things that you were supposed to do for Fa-rectification.
In this recent period of time, many of you have been doing a lot of work to
clarify the truth to the world’s people. As a Dafa disciple, a particle of this
Great Fa of the cosmos, you should do that. When people damage the Fa… of
course, no one can damage the Fa—how could the Fa of the cosmos be damaged by
human beings? No one is able to damage it… But when someone comes to persecute
the Fa, what should you, a disciple, a particle of Dafa, do? Shouldn’t you let
the truth be known and make people aware of the facts? This is looking at it in
terms of you. You are a particle of Dafa, so you should play this role.
Looking at it another way, I can tell you that all
Gods in the cosmos—whether it’s the ones who have been rectified or the ones
who haven’t been—say that, with regard to everything you are doing today, we’re
incredibly merciful. (Applause) Did you know: during the time when the
evil came in swarming hordes, so many people were fooled by the venomous
fabrications and deceitful lies, and they had hatred toward Dafa and my
disciples; those people were doomed to be weeded out in the future, yet even
so, by presenting the truth we’ve allowed them to know the facts and get rid of
their previous views and evil thoughts, and it’s very likely they can be saved.
(Applause) Our clarifying the truth to the world isn’t any sort of
political struggle, nor is it doing things to address certain matters. I’m
telling you that this is your mercy, and you are truly saving the future
people! (Applause) If those people’s thoughts don’t turn around, think
about it, they’re done for. I think you should, as a student, a cultivator, do
these things from the perspective of mercy, too. Inform people of the truth,
tell them about it—this is also rescuing people.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to really
thank the various levels of government in the
There are a lot of things to talk about, but I
don’t want to say too much right now. I’ll choose a time to come forth to
formally and clearly explain everything about these matters to you. (Applause)
But let me tell you this: all disciples who have stepped forward, Master thanks
you! (Applause) Remarkable! (Applause)
Every one of us is doing for Dafa things of
Fa-rectification, Fa-spreading, and clarifying the truth. We haven’t been
involved in political struggles, whether it be our going to
Of course, through this we’ve fully seen the
position of every student’s xinxing. You went through a process of
serious thinking at the beginning of this, but no matter what, that’s not to be
considered wrong, as you were given the opportunity to think: what kind of
person is Li Hongzhi? Is this Fa righteous? For those who’ve been able to step
forward from humanness, who have been able to come through today, let me tell
you this: you made it! (Long applause) As you already know, at that time
the evil forces were really overwhelming, it was as if they eclipsed the sky
and covered the earth—they were enormous. These things have already been destroyed.
(Applause) Only the evil humans remain and are still acting out.
Moreover, all people with righteous thoughts—and I’m not referring to our
students—all everyday people with righteous thoughts are standing up against
this. This is because the evil was restraining people before, and after the
evil was eliminated, people became clearheaded and now they’re reconsidering
and reassessing all these. The lies and fabrications will all be exposed one by
one. (Applause)
I had wanted to tell you about many things. And
you might also have a lot of questions for me, "Is it correct to do it
this way?" "Is it correct to do it that way?" I can tell you
that overall you’ve all done things correctly. As for those minor matters or
few specific things that you’re unsure of, I think you’ll be able to handle
these things well on your own path towards Consummation. (Applause) This
is because during the past one year plus, what’s taken place has proven that
you have truly done well without me around—truly well, exceptionally well! (Applause)
Some minor problems and problems with certain individuals that occurred can’t
represent Dafa. Those were also arranged. You could say that they were
inevitable. They were actually arranged: during which time which person behaves
in what way, what a person does during which time, and this includes those in
detention centers who behaved quite well all along but in the end reversed
themselves—they stopped studying, stopped practicing, and have even encouraged
other practitioners [to do the same]. Think about it: could these be
coincidental? Probably nothing is coincidental, because for you, a cultivator,
in the process of your cultivation you have fundamental tests all the way to
the very end. All the same, not one of our Dafa disciples who is truly
cultivating has fallen amidst the tests.
I’ll just say this much. I will explain things to
you in every detail when the opportunity arises. (Applause) Whether it’s
those who’ve had their lives taken by the evil forces, those who’ve been in
detention centers or sentenced, those who’ve suffered under all kinds of
circumstances or been forced to leave their homes, or our students abroad or
students in other environments, all of the things you’ve done for Dafa have
established your mighty virtue. Finish up the last step. I hope that you’ll do
even better and truly reach Consummation! Thank you! (Applause)
