(Minghui.org) I have not encountered the phenomenon that Master commented on in the latest articles, but I am familiar with those phenomena displayed by human hearts in daily life. If one does not abide by Master's requirement, does not study the Fa well, does not search within, does not solidly cultivate, always looks for others' faults, views problems from the extreme perspective, indulges in attachments - this amounts to allowing demon nature to run wild. I was sometimes that way myself.
My articles are seldom published on the Minghui website, and I don't have much confidence in my writing. When Minghui issued a call for papers, I felt the pressure as many fellow practitioners did, and commented that it was like taking a test. The pressure didn't ease up until I finished my essay. After I finished the paper, Master enlightened me through a dream, that I'd received a score of only “8” on the paper, so it wouldn't be published. In my dream, I turned around and saw my gap, but I couldn't describe it. When Minghui recently published one of my articles, I felt the gap that I wasn't able to describe in my dream. The article before and after editing was so different; I understood what Master wanted to enlighten me to in the dream. I still couldn't describe it with words. Master will use various methods to enlighten us suited to each individual, since Master knows everything about us. I can't describe many things, but I can feel them.
My article was indeed not published that time, and all sorts of human emotions surfaced. Isn't cultivation the process of exposing human attachments and eliminating them? I also thought that those thoughts were all false impressions stemming from human thinking. Master knows the true nature of things and is able to do anything. Why doesn't Master tell us directly or solve the issue for us? Master wants us to cultivate through the trials and tribulations, to cultivate away those bad things so that we can become enlightened beings and follow Master home. Anything that you encounter during this process - your thoughts, anything that made you uncomfortable - was a good thing, and was eliminating the bad substances. If we could see the true nature of Master's Fa, we wouldn't complain at all, no matter how much we endure. My wish is to listen to Master, feeling afraid that I am not able to follow Master home; isn't this cultivation? Don't I have to get rid of all attachments to fame, personal gain and the human heart? Isn't it a good thing that it was exposed and confronted me?
No matter how I view fellow practitioners' sharing articles on the web, nothing affects my faith in the Minghui website. Minghui is Dafa's official window to the world; it is our website. Master's entire Fa is published there and it reflects cultivators' status all over the world, particularly those in mainland China. Along with Master's Fa, everything else is from cultivators; it shows the cultivator's character and state at the time, and that it is a human being cultivating - not a god. Everyone involved in Minghui is cultivating and elevating within this group. Master taught us how to cultivate as a coordinator, as an ordinary practitioner. So if we cultivate and do things according to Master's requirements, aren't we upholding this group environment? Aren't we maintaining and safeguarding the Minghui website? Those not following Master's requirements on this particular issue haven't cultivated well (on this particular issue), and you need to gradually rectify yourself, which is also a cultivation process. You will make mistakes as a cultivator - small or large; it's normal for one to not do well at one time or another. Being attached to oneself, it's not easy to eliminate the attachment all at once, but the overall process should be progressing higher and higher. Cultivation is constantly exposing one's attachments and eliminating them, until one ultimately reaches consummation.
Only when one cultivates solidly according to Master's requirements, can one have righteous thoughts and view the Minghui website correctly. I always read the Minghui website, and all the media downloaded, printed and distributed were from Minghui. Although I don't write articles often, I still feel like I'm involved in Minghui. Whenever I say “our Dafa website”, I am included in it. Every Dafa practitioner is in this group; it's similar to how we do various projects in Fa rectification - Master arranges things at an overall level.
This is my personal understanding, please kindly point out any shortcomings.
