Recently, a few practitioners have been leaving London, UK to emigrate to other countries or other areas in the UK. Among them are veteran practitioners who have done a lot of work for Fa-rectification and hongfa (spreading Dafa). There have been different opinions on their departure. From this, I have come to understand some Fa principles.
Master said, 'The entire cultivation process is to continuously let go of human attachments.' (Lecture 1, Zhuan Falun). The cultivation process is a dynamic process for every practitioner. Master also said, 'Practice [in action] is cultivation' ( “True Cultivation”, Hongyin). During the entire process of cultivation, the improvement of one’s xinxing (mind-heart nature) needs to be manifested through action. Currently, we are in the Fa-rectification period. It is very important for each practitioner to follow closely to the process of Fa-rectification. There is no need to mention here in detail that Fa-rectification is also a dynamic process.
As a whole, the movement of Dafa particles is not like the movement of random particles described by Brown. Instead, it is a directional movement, 'with the teacher at the helm' (“The Knowing Heart”). Although the orbit/track, or, in other words, the path of cultivation of each particle is different, as well as the state that each particle should reach at each level, a huge particle as a whole that is formed by all Dafa particles and which carries righteous energy is now moving on the orient/track carefully designed by Master. It rectifies all elements that have deviated from the Fa in the colossal firmament and in the human world.
As a Dafa practitioner, how should one act under the cosmic changes? I understand that we should 'act/move by following the mechanism' (verse for “Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands” exercise movement), following the Fa-rectification mechanism, following the cultivation mechanism. Of course, this requires that every practitioner has a righteous understanding of Fa-rectification and cultivation. The understanding is based on studying the Fa with a calm mind, a righteous faith and a righteous enlightenment. In other words, if one can truly study the Fa with a calm mind and without any attachments, and have righteous faith and righteous enlightenment, s/he will reach the requirements of Fa-rectification and cultivation as a Dafa particle and this particle will naturally be able to 'act/move by following the mechanism'. However, when our demon-nature suppresses our Buddha-nature, we do not start or move according to the requirements of the mechanism of Fa-rectification. In other words, we have not acted, or have not done what s/he should do well when Master has arranged opportunities. In this case, the particle is not an active, vital one. If one did not act actively by following the mechanism, one would be left out of the mechanism which would become a regret of a thousand years. This made me understand further what Master said, 'Disciples, be diligent! Everything that's the most magnificent and the most wonderful is developed in the process of your validating Dafa.' (“Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciple”). We must not only strive forward but also strive precisely and accurately. In this way, everything that's the most magnificent and the most wonderful can be developed.
