[PureInsight.org] Time flies. Many years have passed on the cultivation path. Dear practitioners, do you have time to calm your heart and reflect, to ask yourself if you have truly cultivated during these many years? Did you place Master’s Fa as the number one priority in your life? Were you able to have faith in Master and the Fa in the most difficult of times? Did you think of Master’s many sacrifices and yearn to become more diligent? Did you have compassion and hope for the lost sentient beings? Are you still obsessed with and deluded by the gains in human society? Are you still as selfish as you once were back when you were an ordinary person, taking things to heart when you lose a little benefit? Do you still lack the courage to bravely step out in order to fulfill your ancient vow? Do you still negatively treat your life and the path you originally chose? Do you still repeatedly make excuses for yourself at times when you waste this precious time period that will never come again?
Dear practitioners, we all need to calm our hearts and reflect, to think about whether we have listened to Master and looked inward at all times, to think about if we have truly performed Master’s three things solidly, and to think about if we still have some attachment that severely hinders our improvement. Can we courageously do better with each choice after each time we mature? Fellow practitioners, how are you? As the evil dark clouds continuously disperse and humanly temptations appear again and again, do you have the ability to distinguish? Walking the cultivation path up until today, we have experienced the wrenching pain while going through tribulations, we have experienced the difficulty of saving people in delusion, and we have tasted the will of steel that great endurance requires. Of course, we have also felt Master’s compassionate care through each test and hardship, we have experienced the genuine thanks that a sentient being gives us upon understanding the truth, we have felt kingly while walking in the world as enlightened beings, we have experienced the selfless help of fellow practitioners, and we have enjoyed the happiness from improving in the Fa. We have experienced the sour, the sweet, the bitter, and the spicy. Through the wind and rain, we have made it to today. No matter how much we have experienced, on the final stretch, we must calm our hearts, reflect, and dig into the roots of our thoughts. We must eliminate the cancers that interfere with our cultivation in order to allow our inner beings of Fa to shine brighter.
Eliminate our last attachments, do Master’s three things well, and bravely walk the rest of the path. Regardless of previous falls or regressions, regardless of whether you are slacking or deluded, as long as you firmly believe in Master and the Fa, study more, look inward, and listen to Master, you will walk to the end with Master and welcome the moment of Fa-rectification in the human world together.
