[PureInsight.org] From studying
the Fa, we know that we all are Buddhas or Daos from above and we are
here because we promised Master to come down to help save sentient
beings and make things harmonious for Dafa. All this is common
knowledge. However, Master has reminded us again and again and that is
how I understand it deeply from my heart.
Once, while I was meditating, right after I conjoined my hands, I saw a
man wearing ancient dress right in front of me doing the exercise.
First I thought that he was me, but I changed my mind because I was
sitting right here. He sat very close to me doing the hand signs. I was
about to imitate him, but I remembered that Master said, "Don't let
your mind be disturbed when you see an enlightened person from another
school of practice. Stay with only one school of practice." How could I
learn something that was not Dafa? He wanted to communicate with me.
I told him, "You are not my master and I will not learn from anyone else."
I saw him climb down into a nearby well. He seemed to motion to me to
go down with him. I did not move. After he climbed down, I put the lid
on the well. After a while, I opened the lid again and he came out and
disappeared.
I continued to meditate. I did not know for how long and suddenly I
ascended. I saw all the white clouds around me. First I thought that
they were snow. After I looked closely, they were layers of white
clouds. I was meditating in the sky, very quiet and peaceful. Slowly I
saw a gate not very far away. I walked over and went into a big
mansion. Someone came out to greet me. He wore an ancient long gown. I
called him master and felt that it was probably a temple. I chatted
with him for a while and told him that I wanted to ascend. He took me
to a tower. Suddenly, I was up and rotating toward the sky. I thought
that, perhaps, I was going to where the great Buddhas live or the Jade
Emperor's palace. Then I was a little worried, "I cannot move any
further or I will break someone's roof." But, I did ascend from the top
of the tower and I passed through the roof. The roof was still intact.
Before I knew it, I was in a paradise. The pavilions, the buildings,
and the plush surroundings were not like anything I had seen. It was
just magnificent. I followed a winding path and walked. In my mind, I
had only one thought, "I am here to look for my Master." I came to a
temple and saw a Bodhisattva. She asked me why I was there. I told her
that I wanted to find my Master. After a few sentences, I took
off a layer of my clothes, which probably was my human skin. I felt
very clearly that I had had a lot of bad thoughts with it on. After I
took off that layer, I turned into a 7-8 year old little girl, with a
big flower in my hair, a long skirt, and a round face.
After I thanked the Bodhisattva, I continued on my path. Sometimes I
was flying or sitting on a lotus block straight up the sky. I passed
many temples and buildings, but all I could think of was that I wanted
to find my Master. I was in many places and met various Buddhas, but
none of them was my Master!
I kept looking for Master and started crying, not for me but for
Master. Now, I understood that this was how Master guided us Dafa
disciples, level by level, step by step, moving downward to the human
world! How treacherous and how difficult that was! How much had Master
suffered to do that? But I had forgotten about everything in the
secular world. When I thought about that, I was moved. I was ashamed,
felt pain, and experienced many other internal emotions. I wanted to
look for my master! Now, I was a young girl about 18 years old. I had a
sword in my hand, wore a long skirt, and looked quite handsome. I stood
up on my lotus block and flew upwards in a rotating motion. I could
still feel that there was a little bit of human notion within me. The
higher I flew, the purer my notions became. I had no ideas how long
this went on.
Finally I was in front of a splendid temple and I saw a Tathagata. I
asked him, "Have you seen my Master? Do you know where my master is?"
He pointed to the sky. I continued to move upward, layer after layer,
endless layers. I thought about how Master guided us down and shed
tears again. Finally, there was a magnificent mansion and a golden
Buddha was looking at me with a big smile on his face. I was not quite
there yet, but I broke down and cried my heart out! I understood so
much more! I followed Master and descended down to the three realms. I
promised that I would assist Master to rectify the world and help save
sentient beings, but I have forgotten everything in the human maze! I
did not know where I come from and what for. I did not remember any of
the previous experiences. I have wasted too much time and let Master
down! However, in my countless lifetimes, I was waiting for the coming
of Master and the spread of Dafa.
At that time, I did not know which paradise I came from, but that was
not very important. The most fortunate thing was that I had found
Master. Master pointed it out to me compassionately and I realized how
sacred my mission was. I made up my mind, "I will do whatever Master
arranged for me. I only want to help save sentient beings and assist
Master in completing the Fa-rectification! We all will go back to where
we came from!"
I sincerely hope that all of Dafa disciples can calm down and maintain
a clean and peaceful mind, let go of human notions, fulfill our grand
wishes, assist Master in the Fa-rectification, and return to our
wonderful world!
