[PureInsight.org] Recently, I’ve been feeling depressed, as if something major is about to happen. Let me look back at the actual events that have taken place around us this year.
First of all, the interference from evil forces toward us Dafa disciples has become increasingly severe this year, and the prison sentences for Dafa disciples are getting longer. Especially among elderly practitioners, the persecution has intensified. For example, in one prison where over a hundred Dafa disciples are detained, the average age is seventy-two, and many are in their eighties. In addition, this year there have been especially many practitioners suffering from “illness karma,” and the number of fellow practitioners who have lost their human bodies due to such tribulations is noticeably higher than in previous years. Meanwhile, natural and man-made disasters in China have been unusually frequent. For instance, a heavy rainstorm in Beijing caused an incident at a nursing home where thirty-three people died according to official reports (the real number is certainly higher). Cars were washed away all over the streets. In another place, an entire village was destroyed by a mudslide, and not a single villager survived. Earthquakes, large and small, occur almost daily.
Disasters have also been striking all over the world this year—many earthquakes above magnitude 7 have occurred, such as in the Philippines and Japan. Small quakes happen every day; volcanoes erupt, strange weather appears—snow in June, thunderstorms in winter, and so on. Last year, where I live, not a single snowflake fell during the whole winter, but in July and August it suddenly snowed heavily. This year, many unusual clouds have appeared: snake-shaped clouds, dragon clouds, fairy clouds, Buddha clouds, and more. There have even been phenomena like multiple suns shining together or two moons in the sky. Aren’t these celestial signs warning people to respect Heaven? Yet ordinary people still go their own way, indifferent—how can they not incur Heaven’s punishment?
This year, especially in some provinces of China, severe drought came first (notably in areas where the persecution of Dafa disciples is worst), followed by flooding. For farmers whose harvests were already poor, it was a disaster upon disaster. Because of flooding, corn sprouted or even grew mushrooms; peanuts soaked in water couldn’t be harvested. Farmers cried to the heavens, cursing Heaven for being blind. But who realizes that these “natural” disasters are actually the karmic results of people’s own wrongdoing?
Moreover, those who received three doses of the COVID vaccine are now experiencing serious side effects. I met an ordinary person who told me her uncle, aunt, and mother all suffer from vaccine side effects. They first developed pulmonary nodules, and then her uncle and mother’s conditions developed into lung cancer—both now in late stages; only her aunt’s case hasn’t yet become cancerous. Among vaccinated people, especially those with preexisting conditions, pulmonary nodules are extremely common, and their health is generally worse than before vaccination. Heaven never brings calamity without reason. At the end of the Dharma, people’s irreverence toward Heaven and their indulgence in wrongdoing are what bring about these disasters. Therefore, Dafa disciples must hurry to save people. It truly feels as if the Fa-rectification is reaching its final stage—everything is wrapping up. The curtain is falling, and the grand play of human life is nearing its end. The human world will soon become desolate.
Seeing all these signs of nature, I felt deeply alarmed. I asked myself: Is the Fa-rectification really ending? If it ends now, how far have I cultivated? How far am I from Master’s requirements? If I graded myself, could I even pass? I can feel time growing ever more urgent. My various attachments, desires, emotions, and human notions—how many have I truly let go of? When I search my heart, I find that many still remain. What should I do?
After gaining a clearer understanding of the Fa’s principles, I resolved to truly cultivate myself.
First, I strengthened my Fa study. In addition to memorizing it, I began copying and writing out the Fa by hand. Since August, I have copied Lunyu once a day, plus two to four pages of Zhuan Falun. From September onward, I have persisted in writing Lunyu from memory daily, along with copying two to four pages of Zhuan Falun. By the time I’m writing this, I’ve copied and written Lunyu more than seventy times, and have copied and written out two lectures of Zhuan Falun by memorizing. I’ve also copied and written Hong Yin, Hong Yin II, and Hong Yin III (the poetry sections) once each, while continuing to memorize the Fa.
Through this intensive study, copying, and memorization of the Fa, many deeply hidden attachments have been released, and I’ve come to see many things more lightly—especially my attachment to family affection. I’m no longer attached to my loved ones, and my family environment has improved greatly. My relationship with my daughter is much better now. My physical health has also changed significantly. Over the past two years, after my husband’s sudden passing, my health was up and down—I couldn’t stand on one leg and frequently felt drained. But now I can stand on one leg and feel stronger. I’m deeply grateful to our compassionate Master for not giving up on this not-so-diligent disciple. Thank you, Master!
From now on, I will be diligent. I will cherish these fleeting final moments of Fa-rectification, do well the three things Master has asked us to do—study the Fa well, cultivate my every thought, change my human notions—and I hope all of us Dafa disciples can make the most of the little time remaining to be diligent and ever more diligent. As ordinary people would say, it’s time to self-reflect, find our shortcomings, and quickly catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification.
Everything in the human world is like a rehearsed play — the curtain is falling, and all will end soon. All worldly things are but fleeting illusions. Let us let go of human attachments that never truly belonged to us, follow Master, and return to our beautiful heavenly kingdoms. I wish to reunite with all fellow practitioners in the heavenly world.
