Enlightenment from Memorizing Master’s New Article “How Humankind Came To Be”

(Minghui.org) Many fellow practitioners thought that Master Li’s (Dafa’s founder) new article was the Fa for humankind, displaying the mercy of Master and divine beings to mankind and that it had little to do with practitioners, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. Some fellow practitioners even read it once and then put it aside, and just kept sending it to ordinary people. I personally think this was wrong, and now I will share my understanding and experiences of being determined to memorize Master’s new article “How Humankind Came to Be.” I hope sharing my views will act as a catalyst for more valuable discussions and that we can improve together.

I was fortunate to read Master’s new article on the first day of the Chinese New Year. After reading it twice, I hand-copied it for myself the same day. I asked my child to help me carefully compare it twice. I felt that Master was so merciful, seeing that disciples did not understand and did not do well, he reminded us to be kind. I felt that this was mainly the Fa for all sentient beings in this world. It was because we did not do well, Master is saving people himself. I had the wish to share this article with all people, and first, read it to my relatives around me.

I also thought about memorizing it, but I was afraid it would be challenging. I felt that the new article was too long to be memorized, and I didn’t have enough time. It had been very difficult for me to memorize the Fa. I had attempted to memorize Zhuan Falun several times, but I couldn’t memorize it completely. I often couldn’t memorize a section, even after many days.

Minghui Weekly published an article about a fellow practitioner reciting Master’s new article to ordinary people. I was touched and wanted to memorize Master’s new article to recite it to people. I started memorizing it, but it took me a long time to memorize a section. I memorized it intermittently for several days. During the process of memorizing the Fa, I felt that my human thoughts and notions were fading away layer by layer.

After finally memorizing the last section of the article, after I reviewed it, I had forgotten the first section, so I started to memorize it again. As I started memorizing the first part, I was told that a relative fellow practitioner had illness karma. I went to visit the practitioner and came across the local Fa study group. Some of the fellow practitioners are old, and some are busy with farm work, but they had not procrastinated about memorizing the Fa. They are very diligent. They had basically memorized Master’s new article, and they do well in clarifying the truth. I was touched. Compared to them, my cultivation was lacking. After returning home, I stepped up my efforts to memorize the new article, and I could basically memorize it.

But if I wanted to recite it to others, it was not enough. I had to be more proficient, so I continued to memorize it. During the process of memorizing the Fa, I understood a lot on my human side. Because I understood the principle of “karma and retribution,” the grievances and complaints in my dimensional field disintegrated, and Master also blessed and encouraged me.

I often was in tears while reciting the Fa. I enlightened that this was because divine beings are merciful to humankind, and they asked Master for the Fa for humankind, giving humans (including the human side of Dafa disciples who have not cultivated well) a chance to be saved. During the process of memorizing the Fa, I felt that all the beings in my world were being cleansed by the Fa at the same time. I enlightened that the beings in my dimension who dropped into the realm due to my poor cultivation were gradually being rectified through my reciting the Fa and assimilating to Dafa. They came to know the truth and had another chance to be saved. This really is an opportunity for humankind!

In the process of reciting the Fa, I was enlightened that we are all humans who are cultivating. The part that has been cultivated well is separated from us by Master, and the rest is not cultivated well. So these bad parts have human thoughts and notions, and may not even be as good as ordinary people. Some people may have lower moral standards than everyday people and have gone so far as:

“Some have even turned to the demonic, dark side, and committed still further sins and made yet more karma.” (“How Humankind Came To Be”)

That is why they behave so poorly among humans, even stand on the opposite side of Dafa, and are evil.

When I recited Master’s new article “How Humankind Came To Be,” I felt initially that it didn’t enter my mind at all. In the microcosm of my body, beings were resisting and repelling the Fa. When I insisted on memorizing the Fa while strengthening my main consciousness, these beings were assimilating to Dafa and were rectified to the moral level that human beings should have according to Master’s Fa. These beings really had the opportunity to be saved and to cultivate. This shows Master’s boundless grace, and the mercy that divine beings have for humankind. This is truly an opportunity for humans to obtain salvation.

After memorizing “How Humankind Came To Be,” I found that when I studied the Fa and memorized Zhuan Falun, I made progress much faster. When I studied the Fa with a group and read Dafa thoroughly, the Fa entered my heart, and there was much less interference. I could understand the surface meaning of the Fa. I appreciate Master's tremendous kindness.
