Seeking Discipleship with Teacher

Dafa is being spread far and wide. Those who hear about it are looking for it. Those who have obtained it are delighted with it. The number of cultivators is increasing daily and becoming innumerable. Nonetheless, most of the self-learners have the intention of formally seeking discipleship with Teacher, for they are concerned that they might not have received the genuine teachings if they have not seen Teacher in person. This is actually due to a lack of deep understanding of the Fa. My teaching Dafa widely is to offer salvation to all. Whoever learns it is my disciple. Without following old rituals and conventions, I ignore superficial formalities and only look at one’s heart. If you do not genuinely cultivate yourself, what’s the use of formally acknowledging me as "Teacher?" A genuine practitioner will gain things naturally without pursuing them. All the gong and the Fa lie in the books, and one will naturally obtain them by reading Dafa. Those who learn it will change automatically, and they will already be in the Tao by reading the books over and over again. Teacher will certainly have fashen protecting them quietly. With perseverance, they are bound to attain the Right Fruit in the future.
