With the exception of professional cultivators in temples, the vast majority of our Falun Dafa practitioners are practicing cultivation in ordinary human society. Through studying and practicing Dafa, all of you can take fame and self-interest lightly. Yet, a lack of in-depth understanding of the Fa has given rise to a problem: A small number of disciples have given up their jobs among everyday people or refuse to be promoted to leadership positions. This has incurred much unnecessary interference in their work and lives, directly affecting their cultivation practice. Some decent business people think that they have taken money lightly and, at the same time, that doing business may harm others and affect their own cultivation practice. They have also given up their business.

In fact, Dafa’s content is very profound. Abandoning an everyday person’s mindset does not mean giving up an everyday person’s job. Giving up fame and self-interest is not to distance yourself from ordinary human society. I have repeatedly pointed it out that those who practice cultivation in ordinary human society must conform to the state of ordinary human society.

Viewed from another perspective, if all leadership positions in ordinary human society were taken by people like us who can let go of their personal fame and self-interest, what great benefits would it bring to people? And what would be brought to society if a very greedy person were to come into power? If all business people were cultivators of Dafa, what would society’s morality be like?

The Dafa of the universe (the Buddha Fa) is coherent and complete from the highest level to the lowest level. You should know that ordinary human society is also composed of a level of the Fa. If everyone were to study Dafa and give up their jobs in society, ordinary human society would cease to exist and so would this level of the Fa. Ordinary human society is the manifestation of the Fa at the lowest level, and it is also the form of existence of life and matter for the Buddha Fa at this level.
