“…the lords and kings of cosmic systems at different levels -- out of compassion for sentient beings and in order to attain the Fa at this moment in time when the Fa rectifies the cosmos and thereby save the beings that they represent -- fully experienced the hardships of history and endured disgrace and dishonor by coming down to the human world. Upon entering the three realms they became lost in the mortal world, and exhaustively suffered the mistreatment of low-level beings in the three realms …” (From Clearwisdom Editors, “Make the Best Use of Time to Clarify the Truth to the Precious Chinese People”)
We are so fortunate to have obtained the Fa, and to practice cultivation in an orthodox Fa, especially when compared with the sentient beings born in China who had not started cultivating Falun Dafa before the persecution, have since been deceived and are hostile toward Dafa. They are in a dangerous situation. How lucky we are.
Long ago, when Dafa disciples entered the Three Realms to assist Teacher in Fa-rectification, the beings within the Three Realms wanted to confine us forever inside the Three Realms, so as to transform us into low-level beings just like themselves.
The low-level beings in the Three Realms are still continuously humiliating the supreme lords and sacred Dharma kings who are lost in the human world. There are layers upon layers of perplexing obstacles enabling low-level beings to do this.
Have Dafa practitioners ridded themselves of all of this humiliation by now?
Carefully examining ourselves, aren’t the various attachments that interfere with us actually beings within the Three Realms? These low-level dirty lives that belong to the degenerate cosmos are still stuck to us, and they serve to obscure our true nature. They are bad thoughts, karma, notions and external disturbances. Don’t they humiliate us, the genuine noble lives?
If we cannot give up all human attachments and notions, it is no different than asking to be humiliated. It is also acceptance of the degenerate standards. Ultimately, this would result in the fall of high-level beings to low-levels. This would be a tragedy.
“A being’s level is determined by his xinxing.” (Teacher’s article, “What Are Supernormal Abilities”) Our lives should be assimilated to the Great Law of the universe. We should be the purest and most righteous beings. How can we not let go of more attachments, and rid ourselves of this type of exhaustive suffering caused by the low-level beings?
