[PureInsight.org] During meditation in the morning, I saw that a practitioner went back to sleep before she finished doing the exercises. Master looked serious. He was standing on sharp broken glass, and both of his feet were bleeding. I enlightened that Master was enduring for that disciple. Master let me see it so I could tell her immediately because he was afraid that the disciple will drop because of the attachment to comfort! A few years ago, I also did something similar. One morning, after I lied down after exercising, I saw a big plate of large red apples. I thought Master awarded them to me for being diligent recently, so I gladly went to sleep. When I woke up, I saw that the big red apples became small green apples. I did not think too much about it. On the next day, I did the same thing after exercising. I saw a plate of small red apples turning into a plate of small sandy apples once I lied down. I suddenly woke up. I couldn’t go back to sleep after exercising anymore because it both wastes precious time and nurtures the attachment to comfort.
At that time, I also liked to eat dumplings. While sending forth righteous thoughts after finishing making dumplings, I saw Master in a white shirt smiling and covering the place where I just made the dumplings with a piece of cloth. I enlightened that eating dumplings is also an attachment. It also wastes time.
Master’s fashen also told me that we cannot sleep before twelve o’clock, and we need to get up at three forty. One night at almost eleven o’clock, my eBook ran out of battery while I was reading. An elderly fellow practitioner was already asleep next to me. I did not want to wake her up and decided to take a nap and then send forth righteous thought later. Just when I was about to go to sleep, a miracle happened. The lamp turned on by itself. The power switch was quite far from the bed. I enlightened that Master was telling me to treasure the time to study the Fa more, since Master drew a lot of pictures of people diligently studying beside the lamp at midnight in Hong Yin.
Lastly, let us use this part of Master’s Fa to encourage each other and be diligent together. “Cultivation and Fa-rectification are serious. Whether you are able to treasure this period of time is, in fact, a matter of whether you can be responsible to yourselves. This period of time will not last long, but it can forge the mighty virtue of magnificent Enlightened Beings, Buddhas, Daos, and Gods of different levels, and even Lords of different levels. It can also destroy overnight a cultivator who has reached a really high level but who has become less strict with himself. Disciples, be diligent! Everything that’s the most magnificent and the most wonderful is developed in the process of your validating Dafa. Your vows will become testaments of your future” (“Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples” in Essentials for Further Advancement II).
