(Clearwisdom.net) After I washed my hands in the morning, I humbly held a Dafa book and studied the Fa with all my heart. My mind was empty and yet also full. By empty, I mean that my mind was devoid of any human notions; by full, I mean that my mind was full of Fa, not only in words but also indestructible principles and rules that naturally guide sentient beings in the universe!
After studying the Fa step by step, I finally understood the purpose of life: to validate the Fa. I truly enlightened to this only after studying the Fa with a clear mind.
In our cultivation, as we strive to validate the Fa, xinxing is improved without pursuit and life is silently purified and crystallized. Cultivation in this period of human history is an opportunity we have been given, passed down from distant ages, and it the reason for our very existence.
To save us, Master has condensed all of his power into this Dafa. It is up to us to understand and assimilate to this great law of the universe with the correct state of mind.
With so many people in the world, how can we not consider ourselves so very fortunate to receive direct teaching from Master? How many lives can walk through the tribulations set up by the old forces? So at this time, since we have chosen to assimilate to Dafa and we have chosen to follow Dafa without care for life or death, how can our hearts be affected by worldly things?
You may say that I am only thinking of clarifying the truth or how to do better in my field; or I am thinking of various projects I need to do or projects to validate the Fa, or cooperating with others, etc.
In fact, fellow practitioners, let us think of this, what are we doing essentially at present? Aren't we using some of the ways of ordinary human society to help sentient beings understand the truth and be saved?!
Then what mind can save sentient beings? What mind can completely disintegrate the evil or clear the interference? Is that mind an eternally sacred and merciful heart of determination?
In this large and complex world, we often encounter a variety of things. How should we do well faced with all of this and remain untarnished by this material environment?
Whatever people do is based on their immediate desires and thus they cannot maintain a righteous state of mind. Therefore, the result for them is one of accumulating virtue, while we are Dafa disciples with a noble mission; our goal is to validate Dafa and to save sentient beings and return to the heavens after reaching consummation. Our goal is not live as ordinary human beings on this earth. How can we maintain our sacred benevolence and unwavering compassion? In fact, Master had told us again and again that the answer is to study the Fa!
When our mind is truly filled with the Fa, and we really regard the Fa as a guide for our own thoughts and actions, our hearts will be melted by the mighty benevolence of Dafa and our minds will be filled with wisdom from the Fa. We will truly be endowed with magnificent and sacred status and supernatural abilities from the Fa.
In the process of our doing a certain project or saving certain people, we have met with difficulties. No matter how hard they are, they all belong to the tribulations of this dimension. Why do we find it hard to make breakthroughs in certain aspects? Because there is no improvement in our state of minds and no upgrading of our xinxing and realm. From the perspective of gods, having the mindset of a non-practitioner is easy, as those that do not cultivate do not hold themselves to a higher standard. But the question is whether or not we utilize the mindset and thinking capacities of human beings at that moment. To solve the problem, there is always a way: Study the Fa.
Dafa is omnipotent. Dafa is the source of all wisdom. Dafa has mighty power to save sentient beings. Dafa is the root of everything.
In fact, everything changes automatically as we improve our xinxing level, and everything will be easy when we assimilate ourselves to Dafa and follow the requirements and standards of Dafa while doing the three things. Master does help us and the righteous gods will help us too.
Study the Fa well and everything will be easy, particularly serious and holy.
Studying the Fa will bring us tremendous wonder. Whether during the process of our personal cultivation or completion of this great and sacred mission of saving sentient beings, we should no longer do the three things like machines, going through the motions. Instead, we should do them with our compassionate and joyful hearts. It is not only our responsibility and a sacred mission to save lives but we should in fact feel blessed with this wonderful opportunity. Righteous advanced beings should assimilate to the Fa and fulfill their missions unconditionally. At the same time, every aspect of our achievements reflects the infinite wonder after our lives assimilate to Dafa.
Therefore, we should really be diligent and serious and shouldn't study the Fa with an unclear mind. Instead, we should study Dafa with our sacred hearts and without any thoughts of pursuit. In this way, Dafa can manifest itself with endless mighty power and magnificence. By doing this, we can really fulfill our missions and do whatever we should do. Let's not disappoint Master who has mercifully labored to save us.
