Abandon
Human Attachments and Continue True Cultivation
With the spreading of Dafa, more
and more people are able to understand Dafa. So we must pay attention to one
matter: Do not bring the human concepts of caste or hierarchy into Dafa. Both
veteran and new students must be mindful of this matter. Anyone who comes to
study the Fa—no matter how learned he is, how big his business, how high his
rank, what special skills he has, or what supernormal abilities he
possesses—must actually practice cultivation. Cultivation practice is
magnificent and solemn. Whether you can abandon your particular human notions is
a major test that you will have difficulty passing, yet you must pass. After
all, as a disciple truly practicing cultivation, you must abandon these
attachments since you can never reach Consummation without abandoning these
notions.
Veteran
disciples should also pay attention to this matter. As more people study the Fa,
you should pay more attention to guiding new students to actually practice
cultivation. Meanwhile, you yourselves should not slack. If circumstances
permit, you can increase the time spent studying the Fa and doing the exercises.
Maintaining Dafa’s tradition, upholding Dafa’s cultivation principles, and
persevering in true cultivation are long-term tests for every Dafa disciple.
