What Is a Fa-Rectification Disciple?

I used to have some doubts about the Teacher's articles written after July 22, 1999. For example, in "Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)," the Teacher said, "At present, the evil in the cosmic body has already been completely eliminated, and the Fa has finished rectifying the Three Realms." However, we are still eliminating demons within the Three Realms. Because I didn't understand this point, I wasn't able to understand the Teacher's articles after that as a whole, and this directly affected my righteous faith and actions in Fa-rectification.

One day, I decided to break through these thoughts that were obstructing my advancement in cultivation and ability to truly understand all these matters. Since Dafa is harmonious, no contradictions should exist. After that thought, I had a terrible headache for an entire day. By the evening, after thinking about some of the Teacher's recent articles, I seemed to suddenly come to understand why, and the headache felt much lighter. I knew it was demonic interference. The evil was afraid that I would have a clear mind and become firmer in Fa-rectification.

I remembered the Teacher said at the recent Washington DC Experience Sharing Conference that "In order to spread the Fa in China, and to not let average persons hear the Fa, many, many kings from different paradises and beings from very high levels--many of whom I've been looking after throughout history--were gathered to reincarnate in the land of China." "I had originally planned to have at least fifty million--I've never told you this before." "Even a system this enormous is made up of tens of millions of gigantic systems like these."

In "The Effect of Righteous Thoughts," the Teacher said, "Before the Fa-rectification, the old forces crammed the lowest-level section of each of those tens of millions of remote cosmic systems into the Three Realms of the central cosmic system where we are." "So these countless foreign systems formed tens of millions of dimensional segments within the Three Realms, which became different domains of power, thereby hiding many evil beings. Some beings and objects have even been segmented into many layers, almost with particles of each layer segmented into a separate layer. The Three Realms had countless dimensions to begin with. Now tens of millions of countless dimensions like this have been added. This has made the Fa-rectification more difficult and the situation more complicated." I came to understand that all those systems are directly connected with us Fa-rectification disciples. Before, we were in the stage of personal cultivation, preparing for Fa-rectification. Once we reach the standard for Consummation in ordinary cultivation, we should attend to and be responsible for the matters of our own world or system in the universe. Of course we are not doing that on our own. The Teacher is doing most of it for us, with the assistance of many gods of very high levels.

However, as Fa-rectification disciples, we must understand during Fa-rectification that no evil, unrighteous, and not entirely righteous matter can exist in the new universe. If we didn't have today's environment, how could we reach the standard and state of mind of gods in Fa-rectification? How could we reach the realm of a defender of the Fa and principles in the new universe? The Teacher has given us the responsibility of rectifying the Fa of our own world, so that we can truly become a defender of the Fa and principles in the new universe, at the same time consummating the Fa-rectification process of our own systems. It is because many of us failed this evil test, and many have yet to realize the situation or have done very little, that their systems have become the hiding place for the evil. It is also why the evil has exhibited such intensiveness.

The Teacher has said that "If every practitioner is able to do this, evil will of itself no longer exist." ("Eliminate Your Last Attachment(s)") As I understand it, the reason is that the evil will have nowhere to hide (referring to the systems that have been crammed into the Three Realms, since the Fa has already rectified the original Three Realms). If every one of us had been doing what we should, the evil wouldn't be as rampant today. Not that the Teacher cannot do that, but the Teacher is giving the disciples with potential another opportunity, waiting for them to step forward and come to understand the situation. If the king of a system cannot understand the situation and his reason for being here, or cannot keep his promises, then his entire system will be re-created. Thus disciples' understandings can determine whether an entire system can remain. "Cherish the present time and make the best use of it--this time is meant for the disciples." ("Lecture on the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Conference")

The Fa has finished rectifying the original Three Realms. The space we brought into the Three Realms, only with our gradual understanding, can be cleared by the Teacher. Our understanding will gradually enable us to reach the realm of defenders of the Fa and principles of the new universe, at the same time establishing our mighty virtue and enriching our worlds. In these worlds, the beings are not governed by us in an ordinary person's way, but revere and respect us from their hearts. That's why we have to establish our mighty virtue and deserve to exist in that system. Under the current situation, our actions to validate Dafa and actively participate in Fa-rectification are establishing and perfecting all that the future will hold.

When I understood this, I became full of righteous faith in Fa-rectification. I now know what I should be doing everyday. I also realized as a Dafa Disciple how to use everything Dafa has given me to eliminate all the evil and always keep a righteous mind. We are responsible for not only ourselves, but also the beings in our future worlds. We have to be worthy of all that the Teacher has given us.

To conclude, I would like to share with fellow practitioners words from our Teacher's article. "This period of time will not last long, but it can forge the mighty virtue of magnificent Enlightened Beings, Buddhas, Daos, and Gods of different levels, and even Lords of different levels. It can also destroy overnight a cultivator who has reached a really high level but who has become less strict with himself. Disciples, be diligent! Everything that's the most magnificent and the most wonderful is developed in the process of your validating Dafa. Your vows will become testaments of your future." ("Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples") We have to be worthy of being a Fa-rectification period disciple.

The above is my personal understanding. Please point out anything inappropriate.
