Cautionary Advice

It has been four years since I began teaching Dafa. Some practitioners have made very slow progress in xinxing and level of realm; they remain at the perceptual stage in their understanding of me and Dafa, always being grateful towards me for the changes in their bodies and the manifestation of their supernormal capabilities—this is an everyday person’s understanding. If you do not want to change the condition of being human and rationally rise to a genuine understanding of Dafa, you will miss the opportunity. If you do not change the human logic that you, as an everyday person, have formed deep in your bones over thousands of years, you will not be able to break away from this superficial human shell and complete cultivation. You cannot always count on me to eliminate karma for you while you do not make true progress in the Fa and rise above human understandings and mentalities. Your ways of thinking, understanding, and appreciation towards me and Dafa are the manifestation of everyday people’s thinking. But what I am teaching you is in fact moving beyond everyday people and rationally producing a genuine understanding of Dafa.

In cultivation practice, you are not making real, solid progress on your own, which would make a great fundamental change internally. Instead, you rely on my power and take advantage of powerful external factors. This can never transform your human nature into Buddha-nature. If every one of you can understand the Fa from the bottom of your heart, that will truly be the manifestation of the Fa whose power knows no boundary—the reappearance of the mighty Buddha Fa in the human world!
