Recently an expression has been circulating. That is, when practitioners spread Dafa, thereby helping some people with predestined relationships to obtain the Fa and begin their cultivation practice, these practitioners claim that they have saved people. They say, "Today I saved a few people, and you saved several people," and so on. Actually, it is the Fa that saves people, and only Master can do such a thing. You have only helped people with predestined relationships obtain the Fa. Whether they can truly be saved still depends on whether they can complete their cultivation. Do be careful: Once such wild statements are made—intentionally or not—even a Buddha will be shocked. Don’t create obstacles for your own cultivation practice. You must also cultivate your speech in this respect. I hope you can understand.
