Graduation Ceremony for the First Group of Dafa Disciples May Begin

(Minghui.org) I recently dreamed of a graduation ceremony that left a profound impression on me. I believe Master was giving me a glimpse of the upcoming judgment day in our cultivation journey.

The Dream

In my dream, I entered a vast indoor auditorium resembling a soccer stadium. On the stage at the front, about a hundred people stood in three neat rows, dressed in uniforms. They appeared tense, as though waiting for their scores.

A voice spoke to me, “This is your graduation ceremony.”

“Another graduation?” I was puzzled. I had graduated from college many years ago.

The voice continued, “People from the Tao school are entering.”

I then noticed a group of people walking past me, dressed in elaborate, unfamiliar attire—huge yellow robes paired with tall caps over a meter high. Other groups, also dressed in distinct outfits, entered and took their seats. The auditorium was enormous, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, and was about half full as more attendees continued to arrive.

It seemed the ceremony wouldn’t begin for a while, so I decided to step out and wait. Approaching the entrance, I found myself caught in the flow of people entering, making it impossible to leave. Among them were individuals dressed like judges, and I knew that the event was about to begin.

I noticed a small white door beside the main entrance. Hoping to find another way out, I pushed it open. The door led to a dark room thick with spider webs. I ventured further and came across a white room where people paced back and forth with their heads lowered. Suddenly, someone called my name. To my astonishment, it was my grandmother, who had passed away many years ago.

My grandmother had once practiced Dafa, but quit after she suffered a stroke. She was overjoyed to see me and eagerly asked for my help, writing something on a piece of paper.

At that moment, I woke up.

Enlightenment From the Dream

I believe Master showed me with the dream that the first group of Dafa practitioners is about to graduate from their cultivation. The people waiting for their scores on the stage reminded me of what Master had said:

“Have you heard about the Great Judgment? At one time the god(s) of a very high plane arranged for there to be a major judgment at the end of Fa-rectification. The plan was to include all who had passed away as well as all who had gone to hell, as they would be brought back to life for judgment; the living would undergo judgment too; as would all gods of the entire universe.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the NTD Meeting,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IX)

“Even those who had a positive effect would be judged just the same, in which case it would be asked how many sentient beings could not be saved on account of your failing to do well in the course of what you were doing? And in the case of a Dafa disciple, it would be asked how many of your vows went unfulfilled? Failing to make good on them would be just one aspect of it, for when you do not do something, or do it well, there are consequences of varying sizes, and you would be held accountable for all of these. Would it work if you weren’t held accountable for the shame that your actions might have caused Dafa or for your having deceived the Lord? I haven’t talked about any of this before. I didn’t want to mention these things. But you really, truly should sober up. Don’t you know what time it is yet?” (“Fa Teaching Given at the NTD Meeting,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IX)

“Another example is, those who came here to be Dafa disciples: What was the vow that you made? Did you honor that vow? What did the Lord Creator require of you? Did you do as the Lord Creator required? If you did not honor your original vow or do as the Lord Creator required, then you would not have completed what you were supposed to do and would have in effect deceived the Lord. Since you would have thus brought losses to your local area’s situation at that time, to the progress of Fa-rectification, and to the sentient beings that were thus not saved, and you would have thus brought damage or ruin to different levels of the cosmos, you would be held accountable.” (“Fa Teaching Given at the 2009 Greater New York International Fa Conference,” Collected Teachings Given Around the World Volume IX)

In the dream, only half of the auditorium was filled. I sense that when the auditorium becomes full, the judgement of practitioners will commence. The distinct attires of the attendees likely represent their heavenly origins and realms.

Meeting my grandmother showed me the situations of the practitioners who abandoned cultivation and eventually passed away. They were waiting for their final judgment in a dark space. Master probably wanted me to write this article and alert those practitioners who have not fulfilled their vows or given up on cultivation.

The above is my personal understanding. Please point out anything that is not in accordance with the Fa.
