(Clearwisdom.net) Master came to spread the Fa in 1992, and there were about 100 million Dafa practitioners in China by July 20, 1999. However, after July 20, 1999, many practitioners gave up the practice or could not step forward because of the pressure and fear. The number of those people is quite large, so helping them back is very important and very urgent.
Master said,
"Do you know what I think? I can't leave behind any of the Dafa disciples. Every person is family to me, so how can you treat different members of my family differently?" ("Teaching the Fa at the Meeting with Asia-Pacific Students")
"With human beings... when a being can obtain the Fa today in history, it's no ordinary thing--he's so fortunate! But as soon as he loses the Fa, do you know what he faces? It's really horrific, because when he fails to fulfill the major responsibilities and the huge missions that were bestowed upon him, then, accordingly, that's like the inverse of a being's Consummation, and he will truly have to enter the gate of no-life. You folks can't just go and abandon a person without trying hard enough. No matter what kind of mistakes someone has made, or what kind of a person he is, I still want to give him a chance. " ("Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference")
Here I would like to share some of my thoughts on this with fellow practitioners.
I live in a county city with many villages and towns nearby. After July 20, 1999, many practitioners gave up the practice because of fear. Some still practice quietly at home but are afraid to communicate with other practitioners to form a one-body. But by sharing with fellow practitioners from other areas, many fellow practitioners have improved our xinxing. We quickly formed a one-body and many Fa study groups were set up. Through studying the Fa and sharing our cultivation experiences, we realized how important it is to bring those who once practiced back to the Fa. We should find those nearby who used to be our fellow practitioners and encourage them to join the Fa study group.
Specifically, we first ask those practitioners who are diligent, besides doing well the three things, to find those who used to be fellow practitioners. When clarifying the truth or visiting relatives, if one hears any information about anyone who was once a practitioner, we write down his name and address. Through contact with him, we find more practitioners in that area. We share experiences with them to form a one body. We help them to set up Fa-study groups and materials-distribution sites. In this way--starting from one point and expanding to an entire area--every practitioner plays a role and a larger one body is formed.
My thought is that we should not limit ourselves to only cities and counties. We should cooperate together and cover all areas. We should utilize our resources and good experiences from other areas. Fellow practitioners should communicate more amongst themselves. If possible, the coordinators can distribute the fellow practitioners to those areas that haven't formed as a group to motivate the practitioners in those areas to do well the three things. We should accomplish the task, just like Master said,
"Hundreds of one's energy channels must gradually become wider, with energy getting stronger and brighter. In the end, thousands of energy channels will join together and turn one's body into one without any energy channels or acupuncture points; they will join together to make one whole body." (Zhuan Falun)
If those who used to practice and then stepped off the path of cultivation all come back to practice again, and each could save 12 people, then all the people in China would be saved. Of course, this is just a tentative idea. To achieve it, every practitioner, especially the coordinators in each area, must take the responsibility to find those who previously practiced near you or in your area. We must do well during this last stage of our Fa cultivation path to perfectly harmonize what Master wants and to fulfill our historic vows.
The above discussion is primarily to share my thoughts. Please point out anything improper.
