With progress in genuine cultivation in Dafa, many disciples have successively attained enlightenment or achieved gradual enlightenment. They can see the actual, splendid, and magnificent scenes in other dimensions. The disciples experiencing the process of enlightenment are so excited that they call my fashen the "second master," or take my fashen as a true and independent master—this is a misunderstanding. Fashen is the manifest image of my omnipresent wisdom, but not an independent living being. Some other disciples call Falun "Master Falun." This is absolutely, grossly wrong. Falun is another manifest form of my Fa power’s nature and Dafa’s wisdom—things too wonderful to be described with words. Falun is the manifestation of the nature of the Fa of all matter in the universe, from the macroscopic level to the microscopic level, and it is not an independent living being.
When you see my fashen and Falun doing those great, miraculous, and magnificent things for you, you disciples must remember not to view or compliment my fashen or Falun with the mind of an everyday person. Such a mindset is a mixed expression of very poor enlightenment quality and very poor xinxing. As a matter of fact, all manifesting forms are the concrete manifestations of my using the enormous power of the Fa to rectify the Fa and save people.
