Dafa
Cannot be Used
Dafa can save all beings. Standing before the great facts, even those so-called “high-level beings” who are escaping into the Three Realms and those from the Three Realms who have done damage to Dafa can no longer deny it. Even so, a problem has come along and has manifest itself among ordinary humans. For example, some people who used to oppose Dafa or did not believe in Dafa have also come to learn to practice Dafa cultivation. Dafa can save all beings. I do not object to anyone coming to learn it, and in fact I have been teaching Dafa to all beings. The key point is that deep down inside these people do not regard me as their true master. Their purpose for learning Dafa is to use it to protect things deep down inside that they[1] cannot let go of, things in religion, or God. This is an act of plagiarizing the Fa. The intention of using Dafa is itself an unforgivable sin. For some of them, however, the human side of their minds is not quite so aware; therefore, I have been observing them all along. Since I think that regardless of the reason they have taken up the path of Dafa, it is still a rare opportunity for them, I am giving wrongdoers another chance. After all, he or she was born into a time when Dafa is being spread widely, and he or she is also in a human body. I have been waiting for them to come to realize this.
There is
actually also a group of people who came like this and have completely changed
their original understanding, becoming determined, genuine Dafa disciples. But
there is still another group of people who do not intend to change and who have
long been stumbling along in Dafa. For the sake of Dafa’s stability in the
human world, I cannot condone their continuing any further. Thus, they will
really miss their chance. As I said, superficial changes are for others to see.
Whether or not you can be saved depends on the change and ascension of your own
heart. If change does not occur there, you cannot improve and nothing can be
achieved. Actually, it is because of reading Zhuan
Falun that your body has been somewhat blessed on the surface. Other than
that, you have not attained anything. With a mind that ill, could you attain
anything else? Human beings! Think about it! What should you believe? What
shouldn’t you believe? Why do you practice cultivation? For whom do you
practice cultivation? For whom does your life exist? I trust that you will weigh
such questions properly. Otherwise, you will never be able to make up for what
you will lose. When Dafa reveals itself to mankind, these are not the only
things that you will lose.
