Genuine Cultivation and Cultivation of Truth

A Dafa Disciple

PureInsight | December 3, 2001

Zhuan Falun” talks about “true insanity” in Lecture Six: “What we say as ‘true insanity’ does not mean going really insane. It does not mean this. Instead, it means the cultivation of truth.”

Master often mentions “disciples of genuine cultivation”. What is a disciple of genuine cultivation? Is that “genuine” the same as in “true and false”? As I understand it, it is not the same as the concept of “truth” in this human dimension. One is doing work for Dafa, reading Dafa books, and continuing the exercises. This is merely the reality in the surface human dimension, but it does not necessarily mean one is a “disciple of genuine cultivation.” People doing self-cultivation at home also read Dafa books, and even while being in the same state as ordinary people, one can do work for Dafa.

The word “genuine” in “disciple of genuine cultivation” is the “truth” of “cultivation of truth,” which is the truth reached through cultivation. In other dimensions, it is a pure substance with real existence and without the slightest trace of ambiguity.

Dafa disciples in the state of Ding often see scenes of cultivation in other dimensions. They see that disciples are climbing up steep precipices and cliffs, or are on abrupt mountain ridges. It is these things that are the manifestation of the “truth” in “genuine cultivation” in the dimension of cultivation. However, there are still some who are leisurely playing at the foot of the mountain, some stopping half way there and sitting down to rest, and some even sliding downwards, while doing cultivation according to “reality” in the human dimension.

When manifested in the human dimension, the “truth” in the “cultivation of truth” is a kind of state and an experience from one’s heart, not the surface senses of the physical body. The mechanism of Fa-rectification cultivation is forcefully carrying along the cultivators to strive forward diligently in the Fa.

Not one of the disciples of genuine cultivation has fallen.
