Give Up Human Attachments and Continue Genuine Cultivation

With the dissemination of Dafa, more and more people are able to understand Dafa. So we must pay attention to one issue: Do not bring the human concepts of caste and hierarchy into Dafa. Both veteran and new practitioners must be mindful of this issue. Anyone who comes to study the Fa—no matter how learned he is, how big his business, how high he ranks, what special skills he has, or what supernormal capabilities he possesses—must genuinely practice cultivation. Cultivation practice is magnificent and solemn. Whether you can give up your particular human mindset is a major test that you will have difficulty passing, yet you must pass. After all, as a disciple genuinely practicing cultivation, you must give up this attachment since you can never complete cultivation without abandoning such a mindset.

Veteran practitioners should also pay attention to this issue. As more people study the Fa, you should pay more attention to guiding new practitioners to genuinely practicing cultivation. Meanwhile, you should not relax yourselves. If circumstances permit, you can increase the time spent studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. Maintaining Dafa’s tradition, upholding Dafa’s cultivation principles, and persevering in genuine cultivation are long-term tests for every Dafa disciple.
