(Clearwisdom.net) Although we are all Dafa disciples, because of the differences in understanding Fa principles, we have different understandings of Dafa and different degrees of respect for Master. We also have different ways of handling human world issues. Our emotions also differ and thus we perform differently in the world.
Dafa disciples believe in Master and believe in Dafa. They cherish sentient beings in their hearts and deny old force arrangements. They assist Master in rectifying the Fa, and do well the three things according to Master's requirements. They are diligent and cultivate solidly while walking on the path of saving sentient beings and returning to their origin.
But some practitioners have an unclear understanding of Fa principles. Many have the attachments of selfishness and fear and are afraid of whether they can get "reciprocation" for what they offer. Is the Master a Buddha? Is there a Buddha? They only half-believe in Master's words and use ordinary peoples' mentality to understand Master and Dafa. They use ordinary peoples' thinking to calculate their personal gain and loss. They think that many practitioners have been tortured to death but Master did not punish the evil at all, so Master is too compassionate. However, they do not realize that everything has historic reasons. They do not realize that the truth will not be revealed until the Fa rectifies the human world.
The Fa rectification has now entered its final stage. The evil looks more rampant. The evil and some ordinary people think that our Master is just an ordinary qigong master and that Falun Gong is just a common qigong school. But what shocks and frightens the evil is that Falun Gong cannot be crushed and that there are millions of people around the world practicing Falun Gong.
Master has kept giving us more time and has been waiting for disciples who have not stepped forward and for predestined people to wake up. "I worry about the people of the world, people don't care about themselves" ("Danger" from Hong Yin II, provisional translation subject to further improvement). We are Dafa disciples and we are assisting Master in rectifying the Fa and yet do we feel the urgency of the time? We need to accomplish our pre-historic vows and grasp the little time left to clarify the truth and save sentient beings before the Fa rectification reaches the human world!
The above is my personal understanding, please point out any mistakes.
