After I said that "fashen and Falun are not independent living beings," some practitioners asked whether this is contradictory to what is stated in Zhuan Falun: "Fashen’s consciousness and thoughts are controlled by the person. Yet fashen itself is also a complete, independent, and actual individual being." I think that this is due to a lack of good understanding of the Fa. Fashen cannot be understood as the same concept of those completely independent lives, because fashen are the willed manifestations of the power and wisdom of the master person’s image and thoughts; they are capable of accomplishing anything independently, according to the will of the master person. So the practitioners only noticed the second sentence while overlooking the first one: "Fashen’s consciousness and thoughts are controlled by the master person." Fashen thus does not only have the independent and complete image of the master person, but also the character and characteristics of the master person; it can also independently accomplish everything the master person would want to, whereas an ordinary life is controlled by no one. When people look at fashen, they will find it a complete, independent, and realistic individual life. In fact, to put it plainly, my fashen is just myself.
