[Pureinsight.org] Gratitude and Commemoration of the 32nd Anniversary of the Spread of Falun Dafa on May 13th

May 13th is "World Falun Dafa Day," commemorating the beginning of the spread of Falun Dafa. We celebrate and commemorate this great day of ushering in a new era, grateful for the immense grace of the creator. Master Li Hongzhi said in Zhuan Falun - On Dafa, " Dafa is the wisdom of the Creator. It is the bedrock of creation, what the heavens, earth, and universe are built upon. It encompasses all things, from the utmost minuscule to the vastest of the vast, while manifesting differently at each of the cosmic body’s planes of existence." We are fortunate to live in an era of great transformation, unprecedented opportunity, and the immense grace of being saved by divine compassion.
 
1. "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" are the "highest attributes of the universe," the standards for all life's existence.

In the East, there is the myth of Pangu creating the heavens and Nuwa creating humans; in the West, there is the creation story. I believe that whether it's God creating the world or creating humans, there must be a purpose and standards for their existence. Although Falun Dafa originated in China, it does not belong solely to the Chinese nation; it belongs to the entire world and all beings in the universe. Different ethnicities around the world have their own simple and traditional cultures. Except for cults, the expressions of various ethnic cultures may differ, but no ethnic family would teach their children to lie, harm others, bully others, or engage in fights. Instead, they teach children to tell the truth, treat others kindly, and be humble. From this, it can be seen that while cultural expressions may differ, the essence of their souls is the same. "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" are moral commonalities all nations worldwide recognize. In other words, they are the actual "universal values" because they are an essential attribute of life given to humanity by God, a manifestation of Dafa in the human world. Falun Dafa is the fundamental law of the universe, and "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" are the "highest attributes of the universe," the fundamental standards for all existence, the criteria for measuring good and evil, righteousness and wickedness, and the quality of life.
 
2. The Process of Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction is the Process of Deviating from Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance towards Destruction

All things have birth and death, beginning and end. “Formation, Stasis, Degeneration, and Destruction" are the laws of the universe's operation. Humans experience birth and death, humanity has prehistoric civilizations, the Earth undergoes renewal, and the galaxy undergoes purification cycles... Everything in the universe has its specific cycle of formation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction. Gods create humans, and life has standards. Throughout history, people have gradually deviated from truthful, compassionate, and tolerant norms. In today's world, cultural variations, ideological variations, human nature variations, rampant materialism, moral decay, chaos abounds, and turmoil persists. Humanity has reached the brink of destruction, which is the time of the end of the Dharma as described in Buddhism. Humanity is in an extremely dangerous situation.
 
The Chinese Communist Party, possessed by the devil Satan, promotes materialism, evolutionism, and atheism, and through violence and deception, destroys the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, undermines traditional moral values such as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness; it uses the culture of falsehood, evil, and struggle, and the policies of corruption and debauchery to turn China into a society without morals where people harm each other.
 
The devil Satan, through the disguise of communist fallacies, has infiltrated European and American societies for a long time, similarly destroying traditional social morals, turning human rights, freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, which have lost their moral foundation, into tools for the devil to destroy traditional human morals and disrupt social order. Now, the devil is ruling the world and destroying modern civilization represented by Europe and America. The corruption of human life and morals is leading towards ultimate destruction.
 
In the long process of formation, stasis, degeneration, and destruction, the universe has deviated from the characteristics of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. Today, all the microcosms and lives in the universe have reached the final moment of destruction. Master Li Hongzhi transmitted the fundamental law of the universe on May 13, 1992, to save the universe from destruction, using "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" to rectify the universe, restore order, and save sentient beings.
 
3. Master Li Hongzhi Leads Humanity Back to Tradition and Saves the Sentient Beings of the Universe through Shen Yun

Among the ancient civilizations widely recognized worldwide, only China's 5,000-year divine culture has been passed down and arranged by the divine. Although traditional Chinese culture has been destroyed and replaced by the evil Communist party culture in Chinese society under the rule of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), traditional culture has not been extinguished. It still exists in ancient books, libraries, cultural relics, folk customs, memories of the Chinese people, and the area of Taiwan under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China. In history, the Chinese nation stood alongside the divine, performing magnificent dramas in the 5,000 years of glorious history, creating a brilliant 5,000-year orthodox divine culture, which laid the foundation for the spread of Dafa. It was the divine who made people wait for the return of the divine, maintained the moral standards of life, provided a path for returning to one's true self, elevated the level of life through cultivation, offered enlightenment for choosing the future amidst calamities, and guided sentient beings in the universe back to traditional civilization and towards a new historical era in the universe after purification amid tribulations.
 
Scenes of loyalty and betrayal, good and evil, and righteousness and evilness in Chinese history are left for today's people to distinguish between good and evil and right and wrong. The music, painting, and sculpture art in the Western Renaissance are references left by the divine for humanity to return to traditional art today. The traditional cultures of the East and the West left by the divine are all meant to help people maintain the morality they should have as human beings, waiting for the salvation of the divine today, waiting for the salvation of Dafa. The spread of Dafa and the Shen Yun performances today are guiding humanity back to tradition, back to faith, reverence, and gratitude to the divine, and saving sentient beings in the universe during the process of the transition between the old and new universes in the era of the end of the Dharma and the end times.
 
Why is life precious? Where do people come from? What is the purpose of human existence? What are people waiting for? Why spread Dafa? Why do Dafa disciples persistently clarify the truth about persecution and adversity, telling people to remember, "Falun Dafa is good! Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good!"? Why do Falun Gong practitioners, even on the operating table where the CCP is harvesting their organs, still shout, "Falun Dafa is good!" with all their remaining strength? To understand these questions, you might want to take a moment to read Master Li Hongzhi's explanations on the Minghui website in both Chinese and English versions of "How Humankind Came To Be" and "Why Save Sentient Beings?"
 
4. Falun Dafa Elevates Life's Morality and Returns to the True Self

The peaceful and rational appeal of Falun Gong on April 25, 1999, and the subsequent brutal persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) since July 20, 1999, have not eradicated Falun Gong. The CCP's decision to "defame politically, economically block, physically eradicate, beat to death without consequence, consider deaths as suicides, and eliminate Falun Gong within three months" has subjected Falun Gong practitioners to over twenty years of inhumane torture, including forced organ harvesting. Still, it has not shaken their firm belief in following the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." The practice of Falun Dafa by over one hundred million people worldwide has fully demonstrated that the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance" can reverse life's corruption. Can we say that Falun Dafa has brought light and hope to life and the world with "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance"?
 
5. May 13th, Eternal Commemoration

In prophecies, 1999 was predicted to be a great calamity for humanity, but instead, humanity welcomed the millennium of 2000 amidst worries and anxieties. Have people ever wondered why the great disaster did not occur? Now, think about it: the fundamental law of the universe has been spreading in the world, with one hundred million people practicing it, morality is rising, and the entire universe is undergoing rectification with "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance." Imagine, when each of us speaks "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance," the world will be a better place, so would humanity still be destroyed? When the universe returns to "Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance," would the universe still be destroyed? Therefore, it can be said that without the spread of Falun Dafa on May 13th, there would be none of what we have today, and there would be no future for the universe and sentient beings. In the universe, nothing can surpass the significance of the spreading of Falun Dafa on May 13th. In the world, with the spreading of Falun Dafa on May 13th, there was the peaceful and rational act of Falun Gong's appeal in Beijing on April 25th; there was the perseverance and heroism of the resistance against persecution on July 20th; there have been over twenty years of compassionate and incredible acts of clarifying the truth and saving people. May 13th, Falun Dafa Day, will be a day of gratitude, eternal remembrance, and praise for future sentient beings in the universe! Falun Dafa is good!
Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are good!
