In the past two years, some problems have occurred in practitioners’ cultivation practice. I have been observing the situation of practitioners’ cultivation practice. To correct the rising problems promptly, I often intentionally write some short articles (called "scriptures" by practitioners) to guide practitioners in their cultivation practice. The purpose is to leave a stable, healthy, and correct way for Dafa cultivation practice. The future generations for thousands of years to come must follow in their cultivation the way I have personally left if they are to complete their cultivation.

Recently, however, I saw a collection of materials at a practice site in Hong Kong that were passed there from another region; two of the materials were short articles not intended for publication. This was a serious and intentional act of undermining Dafa! Even transcribing them from tape recordings without permission still isn’t right! I have made it clear in the article "Awakening" that there is no excuse for anybody’s transcribing my words into written materials from the tape recordings—doing this is undermining the Fa. Meanwhile, I have repeatedly emphasized that you cannot circulate the private notes that you took during my lectures. Why do you still do that? What mentality drove you to write them? Let me tell you that except the several officially published books of mine and the dated short articles with my signature that are distributed to different regions by the Research Society, everything transcribed without permission is undermining the Fa. Cultivation is your own matter, and it is your own decision as to what you pursue. All everyday people have both demon-nature and Buddha-nature. Once one’s mind is not right, demon-nature will come into play. Let me tell you once again that an outsider can never undermine the Fa. Only practitioners can undermine the Fa—remember this!

Every step I, Li Hongzhi, take is to establish an unchangeable and unalterable way for the dissemination of Dafa in future generations. Such an enormous Fa will not be over after momentary popularity. There cannot be any slight deviation in the countless years to come. Protecting Dafa with your own conduct is forever the responsibility of Dafa disciples, because Dafa belongs to all sentient beings of the universe, and this includes you.
