The trials that a practitioner goes through are trials that everyday people cannot bear. Therefore, those in history who were able to succeed in cultivation and achieve completion are few and far between. Human beings are just human beings. On critical occasions it is very hard for them to give up their human thinking, and they always find excuses to convince themselves. In the midst of crucial tests, however, a great cultivator is able to give up his ego and all of his ordinary human thinking. I congratulate those Dafa cultivators who have made it through the tests that determine whether they can complete cultivation. The eternity in which your lives are unending and the level where you will be in the future—these you establish yourselves. Mighty virtues are cultivated by you, yourselves. So strive forward. This is the greatest and the most magnificent thing.
