[PureInsight.org] When I looked
at the nine different competitions sponsored by the NTDTV, I thought
that the more people participated in the competitions, the better, and
I hoped that all the winners would join the Divine Performing Arts
troupe. Subconsciously, I hoped that ordinary people would join Divine
Performing Arts. My intent was not very obvious, and it was hard
for me to detect.
I read the interview with Chen Yongjia: "It is almost inconceivable the
he, at age 39, was able to join the Divine Performing Arts troupe as a
result of his participation in the dance competition, and consequently,
he reached the true pinnacle of his artistic career and gained a new
philosophy of life." Those words moved my not-so-righteous heart.
If an ordinary person can join the troupe, it is his fortune and a
golden opportunity after countless lifetimes. Then why should I have
hidden thoughts of depending on ordinary people? While looking inside,
I recognized that I had not changed my human notion regarding the
magnificence of Dafa. I had not yet deeply understood what it meant to
play the main role for Dafa.
Even the evil old forces that have persecuted Dafa and Dafa
practitioners for nine years have not played the main role. We send
forth righteous thoughts daily to eliminate, negate, and totally
destroy their arrangements as well as the persecution from the old
forces. Unknowingly, we play a minor role during our daily lives if we
consent to this persecution that should never have happened.
Why?
My thinking shows that I am falling far behind with my Fa study, and I
have not understood or acted according to the principles Master taught
us. At this stage of our journey, I should be very clear-headed.
In this world, everything happens because of Dafa disciples' saving
sentient beings, and everyone comes for Dafa. We Dafa practitioners are
the main players, the directors, and the pioneers of the new universe.
My heart must be in the right place. We come to save sentient beings
and lead them back to their real homes. How could I depend on ordinary
people? Where did I position Dafa? This is the Fa principle that I
should thoroughly understand and carry out during the last portion of
my cultivation path.
We need to validate Dafa in an open and dignified manner. The righteous
action for a Dafa disciple during the Fa-rectification period is to
lead the way for ordinary people to unconditionally and actively follow
and harmonize what Master requires us to do. This is precisely the
righteous thought of a Fa-rectification Dafa disciple.
